Chemtrails - More Corporate Deflection onto Climate Science?
This could be a revelation. What about if fact checkers are to censor, silence or shadow ban speculation about hidden agendas and corporate activity, which we end up believing is about climate research?
Since the clear blue skies during lockdown, I’ve seen many people posting a “tippex sky” (Sonia Poulton) of aeroplane trails criss-crossing the skies. In my mind, any true story creates a complete picture with its components fitting together like a puzzle. How do we gather information? It becomes difficult when facts are drowned out by the din of everyone’s opinions. These tended to be stated…

my cat almost just sent this photo of rui to bunch of random people ( ´_ゝ`)
#rui kamishiro#prsk#pjsk#project sekai#kamishiro rui#rui#context: i had a chat with my sister open where i had recently sent it#i saw he had stood on my phone and opened the photo#thought “that's fine” and left him alone#when i turned back my phone was glitching out as little paws were selecting and unselected a metric fuckton of people to send it to#gave me a goddamn heart attack

Take a gander at what has emerged from my drafts!! Finally getting around to posting the Post-Timeskip refs for Bun--
Artwork for Bun's Human-Beast; ie Bun-Beast form done in colaberation with @sun-uwu-kong!! [Please be sure to check out his blog if you like his work!]
🔽🔽!!Detailed Profile Below!! ⬇️⬇️
・❥・Name: Bun-Bun Silva [“Silver”] ・❥・Moniker: “Lucky Lepus” ・❥・Age: 27 [ Pre-Timeskip], 29 [pictured; Post-Timeskip] ・❥・Devil Fruit: Rabbit-Rabbit Fruit, Model: Wolpertinger ・❥・Haki: Conquer’s Haki; which Bun is able to utilize with limited ability. Mainly it contributes largely to how bun can both tame - and harness strong understandings with - the many creatures of the world. Alas, Bun never received the proper training to have complete mastery over her talent, which means it can’t be utilized to its fullest potential. Notably, Bun can only be formidable with her Haki subconsciously/in a signification state of distress. Bun is completely unaware of her ability- as are most others. ・❥・Spouse: La.ffitte ・❥・Affiliations: The Bl.ackbeard Pirates ・❥・Relevant Arcs: [Pre]A.labasta, J.aya, Post-En.ies Lobby, Ma.rineford, Post-War, [TIMESKIP], D.ressrosa, Z.ou, W.ano, Eg.ghead
・❥・Bunself: ・The very same Bun-Bun Silva that everyone knows and loves! Ah, granted, this version of Bun harbors a few negative traits, a few bad habits that come to the surface more often than even she would like to admit. Oh what, did you expect Bun to be nary a flaw? What a naive assumption to make. Regrettably, Bun is as human as the rest of us… ・If one is unlucky enough to cross paths with a Bla.ckbeard Pirate, then Bun is just about the only one a person would “want” to run into. She never quite got on board with the whole “pirating” profession. A simple offering will do in place of actual pillaging— Complimentary meals, free services, generous gifts from shops and vendors; nothing that would put too much of a hole in a business’ profits. And individuals/their residences [save for the immensely, ridiculously wealthy] will not be bothered at all. Areas of an island where she has personally wandered through usually remain surprisingly intact, and no worse off. Mostly, she just wants to be left alone when going about her day. ・Bun is still nice to those around her as a default. And more importantly, Bun is still kind. It is immensely difficult for her to be unkind… without a worthy reason, of course. Bun has changed- depending on whom you ask; for the better or the worse. And yet, some things never do change. She will always be soft for those who need it. She will always take the time to put a baby bird back in its nest, or carefully usher a wayward insect back outside. ・But be ever mindful about rubbing Bun the wrong way. Bun has a bit of a temper broiling beneath the surface. Mind you, it takes quite a bit of pushing to get bun to that point, but once somebody has… there is no reversing what has been done. No one really ever knows what to expect when Bun is pushed past the threshold, though a grand scale explosion is always an inevitable certainty. The fallout after the fact is a degree of consequence that many aren’t prepared to cope with. It behooves those in her presence to ensure they stay off of her shit list. ・An audacious little bucket of sass; even more so after eating the Rabbit-Rabbit Fruit, Model: Wolpertinger. Bun has always been playful, if not a bit verbally impish. However, after spending all of her time amongst a crew of morally corrupt pirates who encourage every maladjusted trait bun boasts, she’s become a bit of a mouthy menace. ・Bun is never to be underestimated. Do not be deceived by her tiny frame and innocent appearance; do not think for a second she’s any less capable of impossible feats than her devious associates. This prey animal bites back- and she’ll take a chunk outta ya when she does so, too.
For more overall info in regard to this version of Bun; please check out the #Forbidden Fruit AU tag on my blog! A few important info dumps are:
・On Bun's Dynamics with the crew [1], [2], [3]
・On Bun's thoughts on Teach [1]
#dividers by @/v6que#uh oh nobody look now but it’s time for another infodump pertaining to my Mary-Sue Era 🫣#hhhh I hesitate to post this even now because I just KNOW there’s context that I’m neglecting to share#tl;dr- this AU is an offbranch of my main OP selfship verse where Bun joins the BBP after the Al.abasta Incident#ack sorry I know I can’t expect everyone to follow the convoluted lore of all this nonsense#I’ve talked about it so much with select people it can be hard to remember what I’ll I’ve shared and what all has not been expanded upon#this artwork has been sitting in my drafts since July. no joke.#also the second ref is just to show off bun’s markings! she does wear clothing while in human-beast form!!#S/I: Bun-Bun Silva#Forbidden Fruit AU#one piece self insert#self insert au#self insert reference#self insert art#self insert#my art#my s/i#s/i art#s/i#ignore the typos in the tags btw lol#also pls check out Dev’s blog- he provided the sketch for Silva’s wolpertinger form!

feyre 'stans' (*cough* feysand stans) have such an interesting relationship with feyre - where, they can't decide whether to view feyre as a full-fledged adult or little more than a child. bc its like - if you always view feyre as a victim of her circumstances, then she's not an active, morally ambiguous character. or - they don't actually view her as an actual character, rather, an easy extension of rhys that can be projected into. im inspired by this video again, and specifically the discussions about rhysand's ability to see feyre as an equal - or even just an individual person.
like in the case of silver flames, feyre 'stans' often try to validate rhysand's actions, by affirming that he's 'just standing up for feyre..'
and you could argue that - but feyre has already established on multiple occasions that she feels uncomfortable with the way rhys decides to 'stand-up' for her in regards to her sisters. and when confronted with this - rhysand immediately assumes that feyre will (1) forgive him and (2) have sex with him. its a moment of complete insanity - where rhysand doesn't even believe that his constant lack of boundary actually entails serious consequences. thats not a man whose actually concerned abt feyre's opinions, or actually hurting feyre. he'd rather openly trigger feyre at that dinner table, then actually respect and take a step back. but to argue that rhysand's behavior is okay even when feyre doesn't believe means that you guys don't actually view her decisions to be confidently her own. bc the emphasis is always geared towards validating the actions rhysand takes, and not feyre's opinions on the matter. there's a difference between giving feyre this 'power' and giving feyre the tools and information needed to actually wield that power. there's a difference between rhys disliking nesta or elain treating them as he sees fit v. rhys disliking nesta, but giving feyre the space she needs to deal with them, and respecting the boundary she has clearly reiterated in regards to how he should treat and interact with them.
and its like these are the moments where we see parallels with what the story argues about tamlin - where his way of 'protecting' was uncomfortable towards feyre, and she establishes that she doesn't want to be protected in that way. and we get something similar in maf where feyre literally gets into an argument with rhys bc she established that his behavior with keir was unacceptable. but even when feyre stans see that - they still rush to validate rhysand's behavior. and its like we get multiple instances where rhys will often just take measures within his own hands, and the argument is never about how wrong it is that he does - but that his intentions trump feyre's opinion; specifically when rhysand goes behind feyre's back to make a diplomatic decision with keir and eris and does not tell feyre (and mor) bc he knows they will disagree. that is not the decision of a man who actually values the existence of a co-ruler. or even the decision to tell another high lord the complications of feyre's pregnancy but NOT THE WOMEN GIVING BIRTH to said child. even when faced with the absolute certainty of her death (feyre is almost guaranteed to die) he still doesn't even loop her in. and its important bc feyre is going to die. there's no argument, so the idea of 'stress' makes no sense bc she's going to die. the story is very blunt about it.
but AGAIN feyre established 'no more secrets.' she also established that she wants to always be kept in the loop (even if someone deems xyz dangerous; that was literally the entire point of feyre's mental breakdown. she didn't care that going with tamlin could cause her harm, she wants to make the decision). you see how even though tamlin believes its unsafe (and ig it is) its not his decision, and the emphasis is put on feyre's opinion and not tamlin's intentions? why aren't we keeping this same energy, like ever.
and that's the ick part - even if rhys hates nesta. even if we argue that nesta 'was abusive' - feyre has established that she (1) doesn't want rhysand to speak about them or to them disrespectfully (2) that she does not approve of his behavior. (3) that she always wants to be informed on everything. she also laments that her worst fear being deemed 'not enough' or 'not useful' which one of the leading reason she decides to go with tamlin at the end of maf - she didn't believe she was useful. that rhysand can consistently prove that he doesn't believe feyre to be unworthy of information regarding her own body, court and family should be a slap in the face to be people who claim to 'love only her.'
and yet - when confronted with rhysand's behavior (both in previous books and the last) the race is to validate his behavior and not feyre's opinions. so everytime time 'feyre stans' present an argument thats geared toward validating rhysand's actions and not the boundaries that feyre established. side eye.
either feyre is an adult, who is old enough to rule a nation, have a child, and have her own opnions. or she's little more than a child who needs certain decisions made for her bc y'all disagree with them. or she's person capable of making mistakes, having flaws, and actually making conscious (morally ambiguous) decisions that we the audience can agree or disagree with. we can't argue that she an eternal victim of every circumstance, while denying her agency in moments where she's actually the victim. or argue that she morally grey and complex and then justify the behavior and combat when people might have differing opinions. as is the point of being a morally grey character.
i think we need to do away with 'morally-grey' as a descriptor. or it needs to be expounded on in a meaningful way. being morally ambiguous means we should look closer into the actions of the character, because often how they chose to solve their problems says something about them. im just tired of 'morally-grey' used as the justification of an action, instead of a conversation starter.
#anti sjm#anti feyre#anti feysand#anti rhysand#anti acomaf#this is actually an old post but a discussion me and mc had bout this very problem with feyre and how she is positioned#made a lightbulb come out#and the last post i made about how people chose to selective read and selectively apply analysis that are often dependent on#removing actual context across books#focusing only on the explanation given#and not how that explanation or information actually measures against previously established information#in this case - never actually think about feyre as a fully fledged character#but instead placing her into this chunked analysis that are dependent on ignoring#what *she* has already established across the story

As a recovering Catholic, one of my fav anecdotes the spn set is Misha mentioning that they had all these papers flutter around when Cas flies in angry sometimes and he once looked at WHAT the papers were and they were bible pages. And he pictured all the set dressers just ripping up bibles and thought it was funny and mentioned it in an interview (or at a meet and great with some network people? it was years ago lol) and the show higher ups were like 🙅🙅🙅🙅😬😬😬 maybe we don’t mention that?? But he still tell that story at cons
Anyway, for me that’s how I’ve interacted with the religious themes in spn, as ripped up bible pages for set dressing (that they did knowing that they might get in trouble for it is anyone was paying attention) lol idk if that helps but it does for me haha so I hear you on the “complicated feelings on religion while watching spn” front
now imagining misha collins himself feeding bible pages into the company shredder to make Castiel Confetti
#in my extremely limited watchthrough of spn i have been struck by how compelling an actor misha collins is#like... between all his other shenaniganery i had never considered that before LMAO#also based on his portrayal of castiel i truly think misha collins should just get to be fake-bisexual as a treat.#this would be good for The Community#also???? i think sam is my favorite character???#which is something i never expected and also with the full understanding that I'm watching a very select few scenes out of context#and maybe it's just the fact that he's juxtaposed against all of cas & dean's angsty pining but he's so funny 😅#'what about sastiel?' fjsdklfjkdsjf#anon#signed sealed delivered#evwatches#spn#love that misha collins just says shit. no consequences just vibes. saying this shit recreationally. it's like a hobby to him

there's always some guy who is making fruit and vegetable cultivar experiments in their backyard and if I cannot find anyone who is trying to cross alpine strawberries with normal-sized strawberries that actually have flavor unlike the store-bought ones, I Will Become Them.
#for context alpine strawberries are a species that are super duper tiny like 1×1cm but have the most intense flavor of any strawberry ever#and the ones from the grocery story have had their flavors bred out of them infavor of transportability and size.#therefore if i bred an alpine with a delicious standard-ish cultivar I f#should get the ideal strawberry with some intense artificial selection

cw Joy being a hater about other people's readings of biblical texts

this is making me cringe so much
#a sock speaks#the Philippians and James summaries are the least bad#but ~Ephesians is man-appropriate because household codes~ is unforgivably bad!#the Hebrews and Song of Solomon sections barely relate to the content of the actual book#the Joshua section only references a few select passages from early in the book#why not list out of context verses for men if this is the level of effort you're going to use 😭😭😭#I should make a Bible books for men infographic myself actually now that I think about it#Ecclesiastes: learn that life is unfulfilling and mope about it but don't mope forever because life is also finite#Psalms: praise God. whine about your suffering to God.#all the books with genealogies bc male representation <3#Jonah. men need to be soggy and grouchy and miserable.#Galatians. the subject matter speaks for itself.#<- was that one a bit much actually? Paul can make circumcision jokes but I better stay in my lane#seriously though the wisdom literature and particularly Proverbs is so directed toward a male audience#I don't like imposing too much gender onto whether/how you apply scripture but there are better options even if you want to do that!

No, for real, people who do not watch Thai BL are literally missing out on the full range of human emotion
#you do not need sex or drugs or rock and roll if you can sit down and watch 45 mins of a show#where the translation gives you less context than if you just watched it raw#uses pronouns as haphazardly as a suburban mom trying to understand their kid's gender#and will literally put a break in the middle of a sentence so you have to wait until someone else speaks for the rest of the line#and THEN has a whole plot about the bitcoin investor in the fashion dorm inventing a faggot detector and selecting a classmate AT RANDOM to#test it on#ALL THE WHILE IN FRONT OF A PANEL OF PROSPECTIVE INVESTORS who could make this product a REAL THING#and his entire pitch revolves around 'doesn't it suck that anyone could be gay and we dont get to know?!?!?!?!?!?!'#meanwhile he's somehow made a massive breakthrough in genetic science (using resources from an anti-homosexual lab in Russia)#and doesnt even care about the scientific ground he just cares about his cousin not coming out

so funny to end growing up as the character guy with no social awareness or storytelling skills. yes this is my guy, he has no backstory because he represents a vague collection of traits i cant put into words and he also never changes and was just born like this. sorry
#ive said before that i personally cant connect with other pplscharacters that just have no bits of context to go off of like bios traits etc#but i also cant manage to come up with any of my own either#for bios like idk it feels just plain to write a backstory when it could be drawn in a comic or whatever. its boring to just read#and even if i try most of my characters are just sonas which ends up becoming rather redundant bc they share so many traits#and characters that arent sonas then end up facing my lack of knowledge to flesh them out enough for me to attach to them#like i literally havent met enough people to have a wide selection of points of view to apply to characters#and i dont watch any like series or anything ever to have a good basis of other characters to learn and draw inspo from#the impending doom of making my character directory approaches...#dextxt#eh... maybe im forcing myself to think of chars as these immutable boxes instead of just having fun but i dont really know#to me if a character has no story then theyre justa design. just an idea of a guy. when has an idea of someone ever been like the real thin

What to boycott NOW to help stop Israel’s unfolding genocide of Palestinians in Gaza
Reminder that boycotting DOES work, there is historic proof! Don't let anyone discourage you otherwise!
The BDS movement uses the historically successful method of targeted boycotts inspired by the South African anti-apartheid movement, the US Civil Rights movement, the Indian anti-colonial struggle, among others worldwide.
We must strategically focus on a relatively smaller number of carefully selected companies and products for maximum impact. Companies that play a clear and direct role in Israel’s crimes and where there is real potential for winning, as was the case with, among others, G4S, Veolia, Orange, Ben & Jerry’s and Pillsbury. Compelling such huge, complicit companies, through strategic and context-sensitive boycott and divestment campaigns, to end their complicity in Israeli apartheid and war crimes against Palestinians sends a very powerful message to hundreds of other complicit companies that “your time will come, so get out before it’s too late!”

from katniss' perspective, the 75th hunger games & the 3rd quarter quell are all about her disobedience (and peeta's to some extent, but most of all that was her doing.) being that this was the only perspective we've had for years and years and years, that's the only assumption the rest of us could've made too. and sotr, against all odds, continues to ruthlessly add context to so many aspects of the series, whether we like it or not. the inclusion of so many known names and faces is something i've seen criticized and accused of being fanservice/nostalgia fuel, which... spectacularly misses the point.
beetee has, up until then, been a victor with known rebel tendencies. he's already being punished for that in sotr, let alone after. we don't know the details of mags' and wiress' involvement with the rebellion attempt in sotr, but we last see them tired, hurt, and visibly post-torture. johanna mason won her games by doing nothing offensive at all (...for all we know...) and yet her whole family has been wiped out—why? what did she do in the games, after the games? before the games? annie, who was herself reaped for the quarter quell, won when a huge wave drowned all the remaining tributes—think about it: is that what the capitol likes? so many "boring" deaths in one fell swoop, is that entertaining tv? of course not. what happened in that arena that caused this potential error in the system that ended up being played off as annie's great strategy?
point being, there are so many things we don't know but can possibly infer about the pre-quell lives of these specific tributes & how they may have rebelled, incited rebellion, or attempted to undermine snow/the capitol. yes, this quell was rigged. yes, snow did this largely to punish katniss in that moment in time specifically. no, the selection of her fellow tributes was not happenstance. (neither was, for that matter, the selection of the careers random: gloss and cashmere, siblings, beloved of the capitol and certainly the pre-determined winners.)
snow's fatal mistake here was not being able to let the sleeping dogs lie; he saw the chance to punish everyone who pissed him off, took it, and paid very dearly for the arrogant stupidity it takes to put panem's smartest and deadliest and angriest and rebelliest eggs in one tiny horrible basket.

Essential genres of webcomics, updated for 2024:
Gag-a-day strip with the art and writing of a forgettable newspaper comic, but which inexplicably has 25 years worth of intricate setting lore and requires a day-long archive binge to fully understand the context of a grade-school pun.
Self-proclaimed deconstruction of superhero comics or giant robot anime or magical girls or something that has the exact same plot beats as every other self-proclaimed deconstruction of superhero comics or giant robot anime or magical girls or something. If you support the artist's Patreon you can download alternate versions of selected pages where the protagonist has their tits out.
Webtoon that sprang into existence complete with a hundred thousand followers at some point in the last week; the art displays immense technical mastery of figure drawing, but absolutely no grasp of panel layout, and the writing's gender politics are weirdly reactionary for something whose official synopsis manages to use the word "queer" three times in the space of two paragraphs.
Long-form narrative which hasn't received regular updates in several years due to the author's incredibly demanding real-life obligations, but instead of cancelling the comic or going on hiatus, they continue to publish one page roughly every four months with the kind of grim determination normally associated with historical anecdotes about the Battle of Stalingrad.
Fantasy adventure comic which you strongly suspect, but cannot prove, is a direct adaptation of somebody's high school GURPS campaign. The story is so elaborately and discursively plotted that you need to keep the fandom wiki open in a separate tab simply to remember who the fuck any of these people are.
Chicken-scratch parody comic about, like, Rainbow Brite fighting the Care Bears or some shit that somehow has better writing than anything on Netflix.
Semi-autobiographical slice of life comic, except with robots.
