#which is objectively false

i am a firm believer that "paganizing" christian prayers is Not On but i do not have the same compunctions about writing original pagan hymns and setting them to hymn tunes i already know. nettleton fucking slaps
#original#by Not On i mean it's disrespectful to the gods as well as to christianity btw#although i know many people in this community think the latter is a feature not a bug#but tbh in addition to the inherent disrespect i think the impulse tends to reinforce the widespread misconception#that anything cool in christianity must be a pagan survival#which is objectively false#and i don't truck with historical revisionism in my religious practice

Man, looking at the zutara tag reminded me why I don’t engage with it here on tumblr anymore
#like jesus christ#it’s the same old paragraphs ab how robbed we were#and how we’re not ‘’canon’’ so we’re worthless#which is objectively false#like…don’t y’all get tired of being depressed#instead of sharing fan art/stories we continue to be fucking miserable#disappointed but not surprised#and anti posts continue to show up I see#fuck tumblr#no wonder I just reblog my shoujo couples now#I’ll never forgive y’all for calling me delusional when I called them canon btw#that’s something I still stand by

being ace means i don't get giggly or horny about omegaverse aka abo but instead become painfully obsessed with details in anatomy and world building
#for one the whole abo dynamic thing in wolves is false#for another the animal kingdom is SO wild#like. female hyenas have pseudopenises and dominate males#seahorses and male birth#eating your children to avoid them being eaten by predators#males killing children to free females to mate#community child rearing!#females doing the hunting!#CLOWNFISH#omegaverse#abo#imagine if your secondary gender is determined by the social dynamics of where you grew into it#mostly female/child bearing? guess you get a penis now#do you think all alphas have piss kinks cuz of territory marking shit#anglerfish...octopodes that hand off their sperm sacks to females...#i know a strange amount of stuff about animal sexuality i just realized this#did you know some species dont have periods? they just reabsorb the uterine lining which is fucking amazing and im very mad humans dont#do that too#on the other hand. ive seen abo aus where male omegas give birth by LOSING ALL THEIR TEETH and VOMITING AN EGG#my main complaint is that abo doesnt get weird enough (plz not losing teeth and egg vomiting weird tho)#also can we PLEASE think a little more on the 'birthing from the ass' thing? please?#listen you have a right to mpreg (and trans men exist) but like. PLEASE. that baby should NOT be born thru the poop chute#ik some animals feed their babies poop (and human anatomy is like half an inch away from the birth canal being the poo canal) but COME ON#also why are all the scents like. very specific objects/concepts#flowers and idk blood?#frankly i think they would just be. animal smells but with enhanced human noses they'd be easily distinguishable#my headcanon is that they act like peacock tails do. meant to show off how cool you are#the biting thing happens in sharks (tho i think its cuz theyre kinda silly like that) but it just reminds me of people tattooing bite marks#and not cleaning the wound or yknow actually biting their partner in the tattoo parlor?#i get it. i'd love to be consumed by the void and a non recommendable amount of teeth. but can you be more sensible about it

The boat bed you reblogged is AI, every "photo" on that person's account is ai generated :/
ah well. we can dream
#good to know about that account#i see someone has gone back and deleted their reblog of it. i will not be doing that because my objections to AI art are#1) fake photos blur ''real'' and ''false'' in a way i don't like 2) environmental cost 3) ugly#none of which are go back and delete level sins for me. though the former mandates clarification

What does he mean more than 3 people in our house???? Like, is it a phrase or does someone else live with Dan and Phil???? Explain yourself!
lol i think he meant three people apart from the two of them. as in usually if they have people over it's rarely more than three but on new years they had more of a proper gathering
#or if he's trying to be haha funny he means they rarely have anyone over apart from like one friend#which would make them three people#which is objectively false however would be on brand#answered

"The feast of the Nativity of Saint John the Baptist being appointed as the day upon which the coronation of the king [Edward V] would take place without fail, all both hoped for and expected a season of prosperity for the kingdom."
-Excerpt from the Croyland Continuator / David Horspool, "Richard III: A Ruler and Reputation"
Even though Edward IV’s death was unexpected, after twelve years of peace there need not have been too much of a sense of foreboding about the succession. The great dynastic wound from which the Wars of the Roses had grown had not so much been healed as cauterized by the extinction of the House of Lancaster. There was no rush for London, as had happened in earlier, disputed successions. The royal party didn’t set out from Ludlow for ten days after hearing the news of Edward IV’s death, while Richard took his time, too. And the new king had [his mother the dowager queen and] two uncles to support him: his mother’s brother, the sophisticated, cultured, highly experienced Earl Rivers; and his father’s, the loyal and reliable Duke of Gloucester, to whom Edward IV had entrusted unprecedented power and vital military command.
... [Richard of Gloucester] had achieved his goal by a mixture of luck and ruthlessness, and if he made it appear, or even believed himself, that destiny played a part, this only made him a man in step with his times. Modern historians have no time for destiny, but sometimes the more ‘structuralist’ interpretations of the events surrounding the usurpation can come close to it. When we read that ‘the chances of preserving an unchallenged succession were . . . weakened by the estrangement of many of the rank-and-file nobility from . . . high politics, which was partly a consequence of the Wars of the Roses and partly of Edward IV’s own policies’, it is hard not to conclude that an unforeseeable turn of events is being recast as a predictable one. But without one overriding factor – the actions of Richard, Duke of Gloucester after he took the decision to make himself King Richard III – none of this could have happened. That is, when the same author concedes ‘Nor can we discount Richard’s own forceful character’, he is pitching it rather low*.
Edward IV had not left behind a factional fault line waiting to be shaken apart. Richard of Gloucester’s decision to usurp was a political earthquake that could not have been forecast on 9 April, when Edward died. After all, Simon Stallworth did not even anticipate it on 21 June, the day before Richard went public. We should be wary of allowing hindsight to give us more clairvoyance than the well-informed contemporary who had no idea ‘what schall happyne’. This is not to argue that Richard’s will alone allowed him to take the Crown. Clearly, the circumstances of a minority, the existence of powerful magnates with access to private forces, and the reasonably recent examples of resorts to violence and deposition of kings, made Richard’s path a more conceivable one. But Richard’s own tactics, his arrest of Rivers, Vaughan and Grey, the rounding up of Hastings and the bishops, relied on surprise. If men as close as these to the workings of high politics at a delicate juncture had no inkling of what might happen, the least historians can do is to reflect that uncertainty [...].
(*The author who Horspool is referencing and disagreeing with is Charles Ross)
#wars of the roses#edward v#richard iii#edward iv#my post#I'm writing a post on this topic but I have no idea when I'll finish it so I figured I should post Horspool's epic analysis#or should I say epic takedown? <3#friendly reminder that Richard's usurpation happened primarily and decidedly because of Richard's own decisions and actions#we need to stop downplaying his singular agency and accountability by casting the blame on others#most of all Elizabeth Woodville and her family but also the bizarre interpretation of historians like Ross and Pollard (et al)#who somehow hold Edward more responsible (through a 'structuralist' view as Horspool says) even though that literally makes no sense#also friendly reminder that actual contemporaries did not view Edward V's minority as a sign of worry and potential discontent#quite the opposite - they expected him to have a prosperous reign. which made sense since Edward IV left his son a far more stable#country than any former minor king (and most other adult kings tbh). The irony is that it was his son's usurper who benefitted from it.#also I added Elizabeth Woodville to the list because Edward V himself specifically said that he trusted the governance of the country#'to the peers of the realm and the queen' as quoted by Mancini (likely relayed to him by John Argentine)#and this is supported by evidence. After Edward's death the Croyland Continuator substitutes Elizabeth's role in the council#for that of the King: 'the counsellors of the king now deceased were present with the queen'#we know Elizabeth presided over all the council's decisions and initiated proposals (the size of her son's military escort) on her own#She was clearly the one with the most authority in the council (who were described as being present with *her* not anyone else)#Hastings made demands but he couldn't enforce them at all (and was in fact worried). It was clearly Elizabeth who had that power.#She was likely going to play a very prominent role during her son's minority and imo it's problematic to assume otherwise#(Lynda Pidgeon assumes otherwise but she's based her assumption on objectively false information so I don't think we should take her#seriously)(see: she claims that EW lacked influence compared to her male relatives in royal councils when EW HERSELF WAS IN ROYAL COUNCILS)#That's not to go too far the other direction and claim EW tried to dominate and tactlessly exclude others - we know she didn't#The impression we get by this first council and by Richard's own actions indicates that she Richard and Anthony would likely#work *together* when it came to governing the realm#I do find it frustrating when people disregard the fact that based on the impression we have she would've had a very visible#and powerful role

you ever write up a combination of words you're really proud of at the time bc you think it's vivid but it's actually so atrocious that you remember it eight years later bc it's burned itself into your long-term memory? just me?
#i'm literally laughing my entire ass off rn. i can't believe i found this fic i wrote at 15 and orphaned when i came to my senses abt both#my complete inability and total aversion to writing first person as well as the fact that the english language should never have been#subjected to its words being done dirty like this 😭#also i straight up fucking LIED in the authors note??? i said i'd broken my knee as a kid which is categorically false. i fell down some#stairs and banged it up and it's a tiny bit weak ig but i didn't break it? all any teens born after y2k know is eat hot chip and lie...#still not over the first line... the flip flop bit i remembered but i'd COMPLETELY forgotten 'a shriek seeped out of my throat'. girl. what.#how does a shriek seep exactly? the world may never know...#and the use of 'groped' is also sending me 😭 AND 'crash bash whump thump' girlllll send help holy shit i can't stop coughing & laughing#the rest of the fic isn't quite this bad but it's very purple yet ineloquent and rough. it's a good reminder of how much i've improved and#honestly i'd rather read this utterly amature fic bc it's at least charming in its lack of skill rather than infuriating like some of my#oneshots that are still on my page bc they're more comprehensible but just bad enough to make me cringe. getting mad at this oneshot would#be like getting bad at a kid's stick figure drawing. like. it's just kinda cute to see someone starting out on their creative journey#my old sw oneshots on the other hand are like the awkward growing pains of puberty. you just can't help but wince at the reminder#this is okay to reblog btw bc it's objectively hilarious and i don't mind ppl finding humor in it#len speaks

really love alternating between girls to the front and listening to washed up emo episodes. to me it so clearly demonstrates a lot of the friction btw the nebulous diy posthardcore/pre-midwest emo conglomerate and riot grrl is often a matter of like. basic difference in musical ideology and subculture values lmao. like. this guy from art monk was talking about how some of his friends bands have been forgotten because a lot of the scene was v. humble and believed in letting the music speak for itself which imo fits with a lot of women in these bands who talk about wanting to be seen as "serious artists" not bc women arent "serious" but rather its emblematic of the type of band/music relationality they want to embody. like. the women in these scenes, to varying degrees, certainly interacted and invested in the same values as their peers- its weird to imagine just bc they are women that (1) they all should think the same and (2) they all felt inherently isolated from their communities??
#we can have a discussion about if these women were successful at being taken seriously and such for sure#but to me it has a lot more to do with diy ethics than like. antifeminist false post-genderism like marcus implies#and every subculture and scenes values are like. they have pros and cons obv but there is no CORRECT choice ultimately#its v frustrating that the limitations of the olympia anyone can play music! perspective is like never interrogated#(bc personally im sooo completely uninterested in that music rhetoric even if i can objectively see its value)#man i wonder how many shitty art school dudes felt emboldened by the k records bullshit....#not to mention how much of that music imo has little longevity (again. fine! the ephemeral nature of creation is beautiful! not for me)#anyway i love washed up emo bc tom loovvess jimmy eat world but i can so tell he probably hates mcr. so funny.#hes the guy who compares third wave to glam metal. which i think is fun but is clearly meant as a sort of criticism of its commercial nature#but again. jimmy is his favorite band so like. i do have to chuckle. same way i feel sometimes about dan ozzi. what was the line.#my posts

Today I’ll get my life together just you wait
#doing laundry#changing my sheets#and doing my annual room rearrangement#ordered two sets of ikea drawers that will fit under my work table#because me two years ago thought that if I just didn’t have a desk with drawers then junk wouldn’t accumulate in them#which is false#because now I have a large work table with junk accumulated on top of and underneath it#but I’m going to be shifting everything around#and putting things in drawers that I can still see into#it’s the adhd object permanence hack and this time it will work I swear#they’re like metal crate drawers#so all of my disparate bins and bags of bits and bobs#will have a home that is not just ‘pile’#but I need to get additional extension cords for this to work how I want so#there will be a stop at the hardware store on the way back

someone yell at me i just started my new editing project and am immediately beset with conviction that i am not actually good at this (i am actually very good at it)
#it's something about the first few chapters that makes me feel like i only understand details and not grand scale#which is objectively false but sort of the experience of coming into a new story

inflammatory headlines that imply something that is not true should be illegal. i dont care if the article itself sets the record straight. that is dishonest and irresponsible journalism.
#like sure this is important because lots of people dont read past the headline#but it also creates an emptional manipulation#that then completely changes the lense through which people are reading the article#so even if they read the whole thing and objectively understand that what the headline implied was false#their emotional response to it is already engrained and THAT is what they will remember about it!#its fucking damaging to readers perceptions of the facts!

this is why i advocate philosophy and whimsy for the bairns because its so important to get comfortable with being like wow this question is unanswerable and YET i must decide on a working answer in order to hesitantly proceed in the way that feels most practicable. idk the part of your brain that allows you to do that is underdeveloped in social media users i fear
#same w the way everyone is expected to respond to every single global conflict too ngl#you have to find a way to be like i cant possibly understand this objectively or accurately#but i have to respond to it in some kind of way#i have to hold to the absolutes i can find (ie killing civilians is wrong and should be stopped)#without creating false ones to stabilise myself (ie#trying to come up with a Solution which is..usually US intervention)

I love the recurring theme of forgiveness in Markiplier's production. Wilford admits that apologies help others heal. Old Mark forgives the Captain despite not knowing what the Captain actually did wrong. Yancy doesn't hold it against us that we want to be free.
There is just something so grounding about such a human action in the middle of such chaotic events. That despite all that these characters go through, they move on and keep going. That they get the chance to heal and let others do the same. That despite all the poor decisions the story doesn't condemn us, but let's us learn and grow.
The story doesn't shut us out of it. It tells us that no matter how bad our decisions were and no matter what mistakes we made, we deserve to keep going. I don't think any choice makes us the viewer feel as important to the story than the fact that the characters seek to understand and move on from our decisions.
Also it is just so well written. It doesn't feel like they just say it, no they also show it. There is no bad blood after forgiveness.

Every post I see about Technoblade’s dad is just something so heartbreaking and heartwarming at the same time.
I’m glad he found the community. I’m glad the community loves him.
”I love you because you loved him”
It really goes both ways.

i love being autistic but sometimes i would like to do my databases homework about null values without thinking ‘haha it’s wing gaster the royal scientist’
#beanposting#utdr#actually autistic#look it’s not my fault thinking of gaster as null is so interesting#just the fact that interacting with null values always results in null values#adding is null#subtracting is null#multiplying or dividing is null#photon readings negative type value#and in booleans it’s not true or false but unknown#which is objectively cool as hell

Heyyy to ease my nerves I decided to pull myself out of a self imposed state of (possibly? Maybe? Not too sure but it sure feels like) executive dysfunction and instead of staring at my animation program sitting in my lingering dread for several more hours, I did a little SONG COVER YEAHHHHH!!!! FUN SILLY SONG THERAPYYYYYY <3
Okay but this is also kinda a way to trick my mind into being complacent for a bit? Because thing is I would rather be stuck watching the same Mr. Puzzles clip compilation again and again then focus on animating the A Hat In Time project. Here’s the difficulties making it harder and harder for me to stay motivated and work; Last month was Artfight so I’m burned out from drawing, the part I’m stuck animating on is uninteresting to me and it’s frustrating that it doesn’t even look good, and THEN you’ve got the part of my mind going “lol hey we should animate Mr. Puzzles to All Eyes On Me-“ which in turn causes me to break down because NO, NO WE CAN’T DO THAT RIGHT NOW AHAHAH ARE YOU INSANE. If I start another animation project on TOP of what I’m SUPPOSED TO BE WORKING ON that’s called procrastinating and it’s making everything HARDER AAAAAA. So what’s better then starting a whole new animation project? Singing about the idea instead so I’ll feel content and be able to keep focusing on what I actually need to. Everyone wins! :3
…..anyways sorry to those who just recently came to my blog. I promise I’m not always this unhinged in my posts, I hope I don’t scare you away. Just been a lot on my mind recently. I like writing/talking to myself to get feelings and thoughts outta the system so please don’t take it all too seriously. Just helping myself process information is all :D
So enjoy the very unorganized song cover while I try to get better at time management skills
#I’m starting to think I may need to test for neurodivergence…..huh…..#either that or I’m just adapting the chronically online sillies#thing is I don’t have sensory issues or anything that’s an immediate indicator despite the fact I linger in fandoms#like drawing My Little Pony for my entire life? Is that normal?#and being able to memorize every fandom song I come across but cry over not understanding/remembering math formulas?#and I guess I stim with my hands but it’s very subtle and a specific motion I don’t see mentioned often#I call it ‘twirling my wrist’ while having a pencil or pony/object in my hand#which is different then what people say hand flapping is?#but it does happen unconsciously when I’m enthused or mind wandering#all I know is that if I do end up being neurodivergent it’s on a low end of a spectrum…#because there’s not much to go off of at the moment :/#I can read facial expressions and navigate conversations carefully but like…guess I’m always hiding aspects of myself from others in fear#….man I don’t know absolutely no clue jksjskp uhm 🥲#not gonna make claims in worry of being false on this so#guess I’m neurotypical until proven otherwise#I mean that’s how it’s been my entire life so far anyways#more likely it’s just my depression lingering around making it hard to focus on finishing one task#random#hplonesome art

being a history graduate is insane because why are you, a man who barely graduated high school fifty years ago, fighting me over something i have read a seven hundred pages book about
#i know history is the mansplaining subject among the humanities but god have some self-respect#this is about me trying to correct my stepdad about spartan history false myths and he was so upset by me correcting him that he compared#what i sad with people saying fascists did good things too and then went on a rant about that. which is something he is objectively#knowledgeable about but really not the point of the discussion. the patience that i have#txt.alice
