man, your nedconte pic gave me some nedconte feelings!!! there is so little art with them, I appreciate each drawing! my main headcanon is that Edward is unaware of the fact that Le Vesconte is in loove with him the most romantic way possible cause Le Vesconte acts like a bitch and only engages with LIttle in sexual activities (cause that's what he's goos at). And once they learn that the romantic feelings are mutual it is way to late... doomed pair for sure

YESSS I absolutely agree!!

Though I do also love the idea of Dundy openly flirting with him and Nedward being like "no.. he's only mocking me... surely he would not actually like someone like me.." typa shi wbjdhsjd yEAH

normal about them

[fruit-saladcowboy]

so tired of healthy vegan & vegetarian food. i want decadence!! give me the absolute monstrosity that is a chimichanga and make it fucking accessible to me right now

[ryegarden]

hiii Tumblr im still here and making art except I teach it now!!!!! I'm a ceramics TA at a university :) so that's taking up a lot of my time and brain but I'm hoping once I'm settled I will be able to build a routine for art and Etsy again. I have lots of gay little pins and access to a kiln again it's exciting. do you want to see the ceramics I'm doing??? Even if they're not explicitly trans (they are implicitly because of the transformative properties of the ceramic process but like. that's the subtext)???? should I make a separate blog for the ceramics??????

I am going to jump off a building for mental health

(my friend organising the event has asked that I please stop phrasing it like this or at least clarify that when I jump off the TALLEST VERTICAL DISTILLERY IN SCOTLAND I will have a rope attached. it's an abseil. but I'm very scared of heights so on an endocrine level it's the same thing)

It is to help provide access to free community mental health support in Edinburgh, the Lothians, and the Borders, which is Super Fucking Important because uhhhhh Edinburgh local authority just made a 60% cut to statutory mental health funding a few months ago (after 15 years of austerity!!!! fucking monstrous to cut that hard there's nothing left to cut) but that wasn't enough! no! they're making I think another 50% cut this year??!! I work for the organisation I'm fundraising for and we are literally losing funding for projects that we'd already agreed funding for the year.

almost everyone I know has struggled for lack of access to basic mental health support. I was on the NHS waiting list for support for over 5 years before I was seen and that was almost a decade ago, it has got so much worse.

Full disclosure I do not think charities are the answer long term. I don't think that this fills the gap left by the government's refusal to fund anything other than sectioning or back-to-work schemes. but the services Health in Mind offer do help people and the people struggling locally right now can't fucking wait until we unfuck the system. Some help is better than no help and your donations could help build up the funding to keep vital projects like free counselling for CSA survivors; one on one support to help unfuck things like finances, housing and social isolation; peer support matching for people with specific life experiences; and addiction support and post-criminal-justice mental health support to help people rebuild after crisis.

the really nice thing about mental health support is that in my personal experience a little can go a long way. like actually a lot of the time what we need is to be heard and valued and given the space and grace to get out from under the weight of Everything Has Sucked Forever, and I have seen a lot of people get there from the services Health in Mind provide. idk. it's good. it's an efficient use of money and honestly one of the reasons I work here is because it's shockingly hard to find support that sits in a space between 'here is a short course of wellbeing exercises go back to work' and 'we will stop you topping yourself and then you're on your own'. and a lot of these services. are that. they help people find their feet a bit more and build some structure and support networks and that makes a big difference.

gxd i wish i liked jrwi mountain’s plotline a little more because i miss the aggressively 21st century Bro energy that bizly consistently brought to the table as him. i am convinced somewhere at like. fucking FSU they have a 5’0 legacy frat president who spends 90% of his day shirtless and drunk and still somehow is crushing a wrestling scholarship, and bizly looked at him, dapped him up, and went “guys i have a character idea.”

So to anyone who isn't hispanic/latin american, her answer - as a Latina of Dominican descent - was a revolting display that proved the point we've all been making about this awful travesty of a movie.

I'm revoking her Latina card. She can drop the ~ from the n and go back to being called Zoe Saldana and fuck right back off to whatever over-bloated franchise she made her bones on and quit trying to "represent" this tone deaf ass justification for defending shitbag Emilia Pérez. She was happy to talk a big game about "calling out injustice" when it was about the racist lead actress, but not only did she not have any smoke for the bigoted director, she's actually kissed his ass and sung his praises like the good little token she is. Very disappointed in her. You would think after barely salvaging her career from doing BLACKFACE as Nina Simone, she would've been more cognizant of her responsibility and complicity in this deplorable award season campaign for this ignorant drivel-filled movie.

Representation matters. And sometimes even BAD representation can be better than NO representation, but in this case, this "film" has made the world worse and dumber as a whole. I award it no points, and may God have mercy on its soul and the souls of everyone involved.

RQG AU where the monster is just a bit more powerfull and even the mix of luck (all halflings are blessed by Tyche) and Azu's blessing and Hamid dies with the blow.

But there is a turn after that and Zolf moves without blinking to bring Hamid back. Except Zolf only has one breath of life. He saves Hamid. There's no one to bring Wilde back.

Zolf and Hamid have feelings about it.
