happy snoopynatural sunday

[parasolemn]

this is like basically the history of elysium right notes and og image below the cut lest I post an untrimmed essay once more

don't ask me what this is I found it on twitter the same day hot entropolic summer was announced so unfortunately it meant I had to do it. I also apologise for putting DE in the sacred and terrible air fanfest but it was necessary for the shitpost. Grins

ambrosius design from tereesz-machejek (ty to laughingpineapple for providing ^^)

jesper and tereesz designs from tubrasko (I love their designs so much :D but they didn't post them on tumblr. Frowns)

khan design from laughingpineapple (i think ? i had images in my brain for him but i cant remember how long they were there for)

ok so ermm. Smiles. I drew those first two panels and then was like. what do I even put in the last panel. so I didn't work on it until a few days ago i think when I saw Wander posted their designs for the PJOL boys in the DE discord and I was like. Wow ! We could make an image out of this! i love them so much their designs are SO catered towards me personally. also I wanted to draw that scene anyway so

it's VERY obvious this was rushed to get it out on time (and then I didn't even get it out on time LOL) but whatever. I drawed a funny. Smiles

i was gonna put this under a readmore under my ACTUAL hot entropolic summer post but. yeah. didn't get it done on time. lol

There's a certain portion of the online right that views the "obvious falseness" of some of the left's sacred truths as something akin to a loyalty test or occasionally a demonstration of submission.

Well the literal corporeal resurrection of Jesus Christ has got to be one of the most obviously absurd and false "sacred truths" of all time.

Celebrating Mother’s Day with my favorite mom

[capseycartwright]

not to be dramatic but the big sunday evening shower resets my life. dye your eyebrows whiten your teeth face mask hair mask and THEN a shower so hot you boil like a crab. shave ur legs break out the fancy body scrub fancy shower gel THEN the shower oil. all before you get out and slather yourself in your body oil your nice body moisturiser and all your bougiest skincare and marinate in clean pjs. and if you’ve just changed your sheets?! if you’ve got a cheesy film to watch? a nice couple of tea? greatest state a girl (gn) can be in.

My 3 little cousins were baptized today. "Triggered" is kind of a strong word but being in a catholic church again... I'm a little fragile rn ngl.

[news4dzhozhar]

Literally undermining Al Aqsa & now blocking Muslims from accessing the mosque during Ramadan, refusing Christians and Catholics access to church for Palm Sunday (and likely Easter as well) and no one makes a peep. The smallest of the 3 religions that hold Jerusalem sacred are in control by military force and no one sees a problem? I feel like I'm in the Twilight Zone sometimes.

Getting on my soapbox for a moment, topic being, uhhhh... religious influence on education and bodily autonomy? Smthn like that idk

(This ended up being really long, so, more below the cut)

My parents put my little sister in homeschool as soon as I graduated, which like, i WoNdEr WhY (it's me hi I'm the problem it's me)

And the program/co-op thing she's involved in is christian-based bc my folks are unfortunately conservative christians who think it's a good idea to bias their child's entire understanding of the world through their religious beliefs

So my sis was telling me about her health textbook the other day, and how it was kinda weird? Like, they have a unit on I guess dating and sex type stuff, but this textbook has some interesting opinions

Such as, suggesting kids (not like little kids we're talking about high schoolers here) avoid hugging their partner because it supposedly might turn them on??

And, ok, to be honest I have absolutely no idea how realistic that is, it sounds pretty silly to me, but like even if that totally is a thing that happens to people... who cares, right?

But no, obviously that would be just disastrous because we can't have anyone tempted to do something totally crazy like having sex before marriage, god forbid

And there's just that sort of "no touching" purity culture bullshit and it really pisses me off, especially as someone who was also raised in that mentality, and I was just lowkey flabbergasted by the ridiculousness and audacity of a health textbook to tell kids not to hug someone they're dating bc it might lead to premarital sex, and I basically said as much, smthn along the lines of "imagine sexualizing hugs" to my dad, trying to get him on my side I guess, but that isn't how it went

Let me preface this with: I love my dad. I do. And he has really been making progress in terms of letting me be me and still supporting me even though our views don't always align. But my dad can also be petty, and he's a very touchy-feely person and I'm very much not, at least with most people including him. We have a little bit of history of him trying to hug me, me rejecting it, and him getting butt-hurt over it. So there's your rant-relevant context I guess

So when I half-jokingly say "imagine sexualizing hugs," he shoots back with "imagine being uncomfortable with hugs" in like, a targeted mocking way, like that in any way makes sense to use as an insult toward your own child or anyone for that matter

I didn't have the presence of mind or energy to really unpack that in the moment so I kinda just went "bruh did you really just-" made some joke like "well gee sorry for being autistic" (which yeah that's part of it too) and dropped the conversation

But like.... does he really not see the irony?

One of the major reasons I'm not comfortable with hugs and touch in general is literally BECAUSE of how it's been sexualized, like, that's kinda the whole point?

Of course I'm not going to want to hug you, my father, when there are voices in my upbringing suggesting that touching people is sexual, duh

Like it's literally so obvious to me how the two lines of thought are inextricably linked and how this sort of ideology can fuck someone up because, hello, living proof right here dude, so let's maybe NOT teach the same shit to your younger child?

Yeah you're right I'm not comfortable with hugs and that's kinda sad but I'm trying to get you to see that part of why that is is because of the same idiocy you're letting someone preach to your daughter, so if you don't want us both to be like me,,, maybe don't do that

To the kids and anyone else who needs to hear it, when how and why you touch another person should be up to you and that person and no one else. If you want to hug someone and they vibe with that then hug them, please don't let some bible-thumping freaks tell you it's a slippery slope to sin or whatever. Your body is your own and you make the decisions about what to do with it. That is one of your most basic, most fundamental, most bar-on-the-floor rights as a human being. Anyone who tries to guilt you about something like this is trying to control you and you should be wary of them

Me personally, I just find it interesting how society is so set on calling drag queens and queer people groomers when there are literally religious teachers out here manipulating children into not having bodily autonomy

What's up with that?

Sunday Perusin' 07/21/24

bad at fighting games & haven't kept up with new stuff much, but i do still have a nostalgic spot for them (played them a tonnn growing up, since my brother got as many as he could find lol) loved the sprites in SVC Chaos & it's nice to see it again~

some of these character designs are pretty cool 0:

i've already heard some buzz for this one, but more importantly:

bird alert

speaking of:

protagonist bird alert

'nother one i've already heard some buzz on

nice homegrown charm to this one; looks like a lot of love went into it

squirrel game? with bird alert?? u bet i'm smashin the wishlist button

i'm torn--love that i'm seeing more ports of niche wonderswan/gba/etc stuff coming out these days on the other hand, def some anime tropes in here that i just don't like lol;; (also pls tell me that smoothing filter can be turned off 😭 i'm fine with it existing for those who prefer it, but at least make it toggleable)

wow!! bird alert is strong this week!!!

this is a very oddly timed port because i was literally just looking this game up recently? can't remember why though. (oh you know what, i think maybe i saw an old ad for it in one of those retro game mag tumblrs. and thought the concept was neat in spite of the terrifying face lol)

another one i'm torn on;; on the one hand, cyangmou art on the other hand, it sounds like most of the other elements leave a bit to be desired still....cyangmou art....

i had this wishlisted for a while & it looks like it finally came out! decent reviews too

[dragonseeds]

Six Sentence Sunday

It’s Sunday for me, so here is a short snippet from my current WIP as my offering for Six Sentence Sunday.

This is from Singer (Not the Song), one of the fics that I'm writing for @hashiramaweek2023.

Anija wields the bachi with more enthusiasm than skill, and Tobirama winces as his brother hits another wrong note. As an attempt to follow the customs of his beloved, Anija's decision to learn how to accompany Madara-sama on the samisen was not a bad idea. Signifying a willingness to bend, it's appropriate and Tobirama approves of the project. What he does not approve of is Anija's ambition. Madara-sama already demonstrated his willingness to cater to Anija's capabilities when he chose a song which allowed them both to play their parts during the peace negotiations, even if Tobirama is sure that the memory of his brother happily chirping like a baby bird will live long in the minds of those who witnessed it. Why couldn't Anija do the same?

day eleven: speak of the devil (and he doth appear) by @breedxblemickey

↳ rated E / one-shot / 2.3k / priest!ian / incubus!mickey

“Say it again.”  Mickey’s eyes slip closed, face slackening with pleasure at Ian’s command. He releases a quiet groan through his smirk and says, as if lost in a haze, “No one tastes as good as you do.” His eyes snap open, the blue flooded with shocking black. His tongue, now long and forked, flicks out over his bottom lip. “Father.”  Ian grasps his cock in his free hand, letting out a huff at the feeling of warmth against the head as he smears it across Mickey’s lips. Mickey’s mouth drops open, forked tongue flicking out to lick at the slit, a groan rumbling from his chest as he tastes.
