#zero is a number

[mediocreleftist]

Since that post is around again, please repeat after me:

Zero is a number.

Numbers don’t work like colours.

Zero is a number, not a lack of number or a “tint” or a “shade” some other type of bs.

Good judge.

in 2007, a lady named Kristin Sue Lucas filed to legally change her name from “Kristin Sue Lucas” to “Kristin Sue Lucas”. She appeared in front of a judge in california to petition her case. this is the transcript of her court hearing

i think Zero deserves to exist as a number, idc what nerdy shit you have to say, the absence of existence has as much right to be, just as what is, has right to not be.. it��s only fair..?

I've been noodling stuff around in my dome about casting and mold making (mostly for the miniataurs because holy crap there's like 200 of you wanting asterions and I gotta scale up if I'm going to get anywhere close to that many, which is awesome but daunting) and it occurs to me that the little tomb mouse would also be a relatively easy form to cast, maybe even press-mold. I know you guys are here in numbers (more numbers than I thought) for Asterion, but would there be any interest in little mouseoleums? You could literally inter your deceased beloved rodents in them if you wanted, or just put neat stuff in there.

Price point might be somewhere in the $100 range and it would come with a sword.

A few more of the Dragon Ball photocards I've been working on. I've added a bunch more characters, and hopefully I can make even more in the future. Click here to see the first set.

Are there any other characters I'm missing?

various tugs ocs :-)

capo/captain/miss claymore is a figure from captain zero’s past that he desperately tries to forget. as mentioned in the picture, she is quite the imposing figure, and with her line of work, it’s a given that she’s as ruthless and cunning as one may expect. claymore and her men handle jobs that involve racketeering and smuggling, from weapons to booze, and back when she was younger (and still had a leash around captain zero’s neck which made her a source of extreme paranoia for him) she’s extremely adamant on how things should be done in her turf. after captain zero ditched his relations with her and left her to handle the smuggling business he haphazardly left behind, she has her sights on him and promised to give him the welcome back party he deserves, even going so far as wanting to invite his employees as well! how courteous of her.

zayin (in TUGS canon) is the newest addition to the z-stacks. although he’s a generally pleasant fellow and wants to be on at least good terms with everyone, zayin is protective of his self image – he makes sure he’s perceived as someone respectable and has a tendency of viewing others as beneath them (not that he’ll ever admit it, but the way he sometimes talk… shows). being a switcher, zayin takes up various jobs around bigg city port, and boy is he competent at them! they're one of the few z-stacks that zorran somewhat likes because they always get the job done and right and quick. nonetheless, he's often exasperated at how zayin quickly skedaddles to chat up the star tugs and continue his amicable relationship with them, especially top hat (whom he has a strange fixation on). zip and zug likes zayin for his friendliness, though, and he views them as charming yet pitiable beings.

and with that, we've reached the end of part one!

Seven being the only of the base 10 digits to be multiple syllables really pisses me off cause everything is fucked up by it. What if I wanna count fast? Seven throws off the whole groove. And when I’m counting higher too it’s like I gotta slog through the 70s or god forbid the 700s. Seventy-seven? Get the fuck out of here. And something like just sev would’ve worked just fine. Doesn’t sound like any of the rest of the numbers. It also has “even” in the name and it’s odd. You know what else has that? Eleven, another pissass number for reasons I won’t get into. Easily worst single digit number. I don’t care if it’s “the lucky number” either, that’s just bullshit propagated by casinos probably. Not even that mathematically interesting. The only thing I can think of is the decimals repeating in a unique way when it divides, what with the repeating from different places. And what, most common number when rolling two six sided die? Be for real. AND its multiples are cringe too. Where does 49 even come from. 63? 91??? What the fuck. Stupid fucking number and I’m tired of pretending it’s not.

If Arnold Schwarzenegger appeared in Star Trek it would be as a brief cameo in one of the movies where he played a representation of an alien government with minimal make up in a federation scene. If Sylvester Stallone was offered the chance to appear in Star Trek he would say no because he “didn’t get it” and he’s not a TV guy. If Bruce Willis appeared in Star Trek it would be a one episode role as a human federation scientist in s1/s2 tng right before he got huge and he would be number two with a bullet on the “people you didn’t know were in Star Trek” lists. If JCVD appeared in Star Trek it would be around ent s4 in his past his prime/early dtv days as part of a last ditch effort to save the show from cancellation and the episode would revolve around him somehow getting cloned. If Steven Seagal was in Star Trek, it would be in an episode of voyager that never actually got made because of Seagal’s diva behavior, but leaked scripts discovered later would reveal that it had a strong environmentalist message at his insistence. If Kurt Russell appeared in Star Trek it would be a small role in tos when he was like 12 and he would be number one on those “people you didn’t know were in Star Trek” lists. Harrison Ford would shoot himself in the head before appearing in Star Trek. If Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson appeared in Star Trek:

You have synesthesia?? How does that work for you? Is this how you manage to use the word “meat” in a way that makes me go “holy shit that’s good and cool i need to read that sentence four more times” instead of “ew”?????

I do!!! Letters, numbers, and words all have colours and sometimes visual textures for me-- and while numbers and letters on their own are generally only a single colour (7 is a bright, grassy green!!! while "K" is a pale peachy pink, for example :] ), when i put them into words they often take on entirely new colours, some of which even bleed into each other like watercolour paints. Ironically, its why i use the UK spelling of "colour" in the first place-- the "u" turns what looks like a dull, desaturated blue into a smeared blue-and-purple that i find really pretty to look at :]] so when i say i like to paint with words, i kinda mean that literally 😂😂😂😂😂

But yeah, i'd imagine thats why my writing is Like That™ to some degree-- a lot of what im doing behind the scenes involves matching the colours and visual textures of a given word with all of the others in order to evoke a particular vibe or image in my writing. There are a lot of layers to how i write, but this is probably the one that takes both the most time AND is the one i happen to talk about the least WKDJWKSJEJ
