#I am a big nerd

[striving-artist]

Well. Since the Terrible Poll about knots in Omegaverse and A/B/O got a heck of a lot more attention than I was expecting, and since at least three people said I should do more polling, and since I really only needed one to convince me...

The Terrible Poll - Extended Edition - Biology

Wait, look at me. No, seriously, look at me. I am a nerd and a child of scientists. This is 175 questions long.

That is Many, and this is only about biology and physical stuff. It is as broad as I could, but includes places to add things I missed. It is written as clinically as I could manage, and you don't need to input your email, but there are some illustrations.

I'm working on a second one about society.

This is not a poll asking you what you see the most, or what is popular. This is about Your Interpretation of the concept. There are no wrong answers here.

Take this, share it, get it into other fandoms, take it to reddit, brave souls can post it to facebook or twitter. I need as many data points as I can get because if I am going to do all of this work, I am going to create something at the end of this, so I want the dataset to be solid. Definitely a breakdown of trends and outliers into readable graph or infographic form. Probably an analytic essay. Potentially a science based concept with evolutionary reasoning that I've developed.

#the terrible poll #omegaverse #Alpha/beta/omega #fanfiction #ao3 #Please spread this and share it #if all I get are answers from my fandoms #the data is far less useful or interesting #and yes #I am a big nerd #who likes to understand trends #and who enjoys data analysis #even when answers on the last one made me 0.0 #I wasn't judging you #I was astonished by the breadth of fandom and humanity

I finally relented and updated the app so I could see the Wrapped beyond the playlists. Had to get a little crap amused.

When even Spotify notices how freaking autistic you are.

(I know I have some weird continuity shit going on, I can't help it.)

Also, yeah I guess I really have been on a pretty specific kick for a while now.

Erm yeah, about that...

(Where two of the top 5 should basically be counted together. There's Bäddat För Trubbel, and then there's Hjelle's solo releases in pretty much the same styles. All of the above are Swedish, though Viagra Boys go against the general punk-adjacent grain and do their thing im English. Their singer also grew up in the US, so there's that.)

Kind of interesting how these patterns compare across years, and even from month to month. Seen some pretty varied shit there over time.

I have, perhaps, a time or two, mentioned that one of my favorites things is Angelus Ex Machina by @bluemeridian

who has a blanket permission statement! so I don't have to awkwardly ask for permission because I am terrible at art and thus asking for permission to art seems like it would raise false hopes...

but I have, perhaps, downloaded the epub versions of these for personal use, but the default covers in calibre are SO BORING so I had to at least improve the fonts you know?

and then I played with colors

for reasons?

anyways.

suggested way to avoid ones to-do list: make very plain book fanfic covers in canva! 10/10 absolutely recommend, quality procrastination

#jilly reads #jilly cannot art #jilly actually has quite a bit of fanfic in calibre #but that's a story for another time #bluemeridian #angelus ex machina #favorite everything #shadowhunters #fic appreciation #blue for blue! #red for blood! #gold for [spoilers]! #I am a big nerd #and very tired #and getting over a cold #I have no other excuse #for why this amuses me so much #no there is no alt text on those #they do not deserve it #how the fuck is it 1400 already gdi

I'm watching the new dirty laundry and lemme tell ya. I've never felt more seen than when aabria iyengar, surrounded by her nerd-ass nerd friends, looked absolutely shocked and appalled when liam said he didn't care about sports. like obviously they don't care. absolutely they don't. it still hurts my feelings!!!

#anyways SOMEONE LET ME YELL ABOUT BASKETBALL WITH YOU #the thunder haven't been good since the obama administration. i am suffering. #we have TWO GUYS named jalen williams!!! TWO!!! #anyways. thanks you aabria for representing Nerds Who Are Big On Sports <3

Ok my first reaction was I didn’t like how the dragons disobeyed their riders like that, but after thinking about it I think it’s kinda brilliant when it comes to the behaviors of dragons.

First, both Arrax and Luke were really young and had absolutely zero combat experience. As soon as they saw Vhagar, it’s very obvious they simultaneously became a lot more tense. Then after Luke had his encounter with Aemond and left you can see Arrax looking in the direction of where Vhagar was in clear distress and Luke does the same thing before mounting. Luke realized their anxiety was high and he did his best to calm Arrax down before taking flight, but that all went out the window as soon as Vhagar gave chase. Now you have a child and a very young and small dragon that are bonded together in a very scary situation: being chased down by a behemoth in the middle of a raging storm (poor Arrax was flapping his wings as hard as he could) I personally think Arrax went on the offense to try and protect both himself and Luke, if only to give them a chance to escape. Both of them did the best they could.

Then you have Vhagar, an extremely old, massive, experienced dragon that is bonded to an inexperienced rider who is feeling a lot of unhinged rage and resentment. They were flying in attack maneuvers ffs I doubt she thought it was a game. And then this little dragon has the audacity to breathe fire in her face. Of course she’s not going to deal with that shit, as utterly tragic as her response is.

At the end of the day, dragons are not mindless war machines that will obey every command. They’re very powerful animals. No matter how trained or bonded with their owners they are, very powerful animals can and will do what they want.

#house of the dragon #house of the dragon spoilers #lucerys velaryon #aemond targaryen #Arrax #Vhagar #I know a lot of people are big mad but I thought this was well done #at the end of the day people gotta remember the book is from the pov of an unreliable narrator #the show is showing what REALLY happened #tbh I think Aemond is a lot more compelling villain #he can still be evil even tho he didn’t mean to kill his nephew #like the war hasn’t even started yet #and yeah that scene was deeply upsetting to watch #I’ll need an undisclosed amount of business days to recover #but I am nerding out a bit on the behaviors of dragons in that scene

I love Tumblr because sometimes you check the trending page and you see Avatar The Last Airbender trending for no reason at all. Tumblr just knows that it's a masterpiece and appreciates it even after all these years. I love this stupid website

#atla #avatar the last airbender #no listen to me. i love it because sometimes i am like wow why is it trending again #and i check and nothing happened. you guys are just big nerds with great taste

katsuki jumps, startlingly, when you rub a hand up his back.

he's leaned too far down, bent over the counter at an angle that will give him an ache he'll complain about later, and his head whips up as you come to stand beside him. an e-mail on his phone is what previously had his full attention, but now he looks at you, eyes softening as you lean into his shoulder.

he's never been a very touchy guy. even after a year into your relationship, it's most often you reaching for his hand as you walk down the street; you pressing a kiss into his cheek while watching a movie on the couch; you running a hand through his hair as his breath steadies out beside you in bed.

it's not something you really complain about. you know how he is, knew before anything developed between the two of you, and you can't say it's a deal-breaker. there's little you know about his previous relationships or if he even had any, but you have the painful-gut feeling that affection just isn't something he's used to.

you press a smile into the sleeve of his shirt and his spine relaxes under your hand, finds that awful curve again. he watches you like he's waiting for something, tracing the tender details of your face.

"love you," you say, because do and you want to voice it aloud, put it into his mind even though you know he knows. as expected, his lips flatten into a wavering little line, shy suddenly, and your teeth wet the fabric of his shirt when you smile.

all you get is a little grunt in response and he dips his chin down in a wordless nod, accepting your lovey-dovey assault. it makes him feel a little helpless, you know, but you bring up an arm to wrap around him as he turns back to his phone, ears pink.

katsuki straightens with a dull pop!, stretching his arms up and allowing you to shuffle closer, so that your head is resting on his chest. you press your ear to it and wait, eyes closed, until the heavy promise of his heartbeat echoes like a drum in your ear. it's loud, and after a moment, your own falls into sync, right where it belongs.

"'s'wrong?"

"hm?" you glance up at him, the frown on his pink face, before breathing in the clean scent of his laundry soap. your laundry soap. and then you shake your head. "nothin'. just missed you."

"been home all day."

"i know," you sigh, letting your eyes fall shut again. the sound of his phone locking clicks and you can feel the slight down-slide of his sweatpants when he pockets it. "sometimes i miss you even though you're right here."

you expect — something; another grunt or laugh through his nose, a raspy little noise that voices his confusion. things like this can be hard for him; you know how he is, knew before anything ever developed between the two of you — but you don't think it makes him any less deserving.

katsuki steps back from you a little, and you feel the hesitant rise of his arm before you feel it. his hand comes up to your face — pink and scarred in your peripheral vision — and he tilts your head up, waits until you open your eyes.

when you do, it looks as if a million things are running through his head. his poker-face is good, it has to be, but you can see little bits of his vulnerability shining through. you wonder how long it's been since he showed it to anybody. he almost looks sad.

katsuki squeezes your cheeks until your lips pucker, and his frown deepens when you laugh. "y're so...damn weird."

that's along the lines of what you were anticipating: one of his teasing little insults, warm with a fire he's still learning how to kindle. you don't get the chance to say anything before he's kissing you, eyes shut tight, lashes brushing against your own.

you expect something soft, because affection is a fickle thing, from him — but his hand never falls from your face and his tongue is sliding with yours suddenly, a heated gesture that throws your heart out of whack. you let him kiss you as deeply as he can, until your back arches painfully backward over the counter as he leans into you.

when he pulls away, his lips are a little swollen and his cheeks are burning, as he presses one into yours. "i—jus'—" katsuki tries and then abandons it, a hand curling into the material of your shirt. "i get it." he murmurs, there, into the heated skin of your face, heart beating in time with yours.

things like this are hard with him — but he makes them so, so worth it.

#i like to think he's a lil too rough #wants to hold your face in his hands and ends up squishing you #kisses you with the potential to bruise #bc he's so unpracticed !! #cute !! what a nerd !! #and i think he can be a lil reserved with affection :( and so he knows :( what it means to miss you even though you're right there :( #all the things he wishes he could say and can't :( #hi. #i am actually feeling a bit helpless in the big writing world LOL #i'm happy with what i'm writing ! and will keep writing it ! #but in the back of my mind #i just keep thinking that i want to write something really really good for bakugou #something that matters :( #idk ! i'm just feeling a bit dramatic and off today !! #so have this soft gooey piece as an offering #✿ willow writes #✿ thoughts: bakugou #✿ theme: domestic bakugou

The thing about being over 18 is that anytime one of my moots is a minor, my instincts kick in.

I am the big sib. For all of them. I take one look at anyone younger than me and my mind simply goes: "Must protect with life." without even thinking about it.

Your older sibling is here! I shall save the day! With the power of God and anime on my side!!!!

✨😄✨

#i am the big sib #and i will protect all of you! #yes i know that i am also a very clumsy nerd #but anyway.... i must be there for you! and i will!!!!

Chevalier's fetish

There were a lot of guesses for what this could be. Some were very funny (@vioisgoinginsane it's not feet that would be napoleon, thank you @yanderepuck). Some were close (@leonscape @ichgakr01270910 @xbalayage - it is book related). And some were more like what I expected it to be (@drachonia @thegeekcloud - he is a sadist who likes to bite).

But no. It's something no one guessed - and why would any of you...

It's translating foreign literature.

He then discusses foreign languages and mentions that a guest from another country will soon be visiting and teases/torments the idea of leaving entertaining them (and learning their language) to you.

#my boy is showing off his inner nerd rn #here i am expecting something like biting #and i got books #nothing against books #and i really should not have been shocked #cybird really went there with the books this time #i love you anyway you big nerd #im sure he sounds very hot when speaking one of these foreign languages

[lyneytricks]

if i see another video making out scara's resentment towards ei to not matter and be wrong because of ei's intentions when abandoning him i'm going to literally throw something out of a window.

it doesn't matter what ei's intention was!! she literally abandoned him during the most important part of his life. idgaf if he looked the same as he does now, he was a child and he didn't know shit. ei just!! left him!! the fact that she had no ill intention doesn't dismiss the fact that it was harmful!!

(also let's not forget that she let him to sleep. for like. years. until someone found him. isn't that worse than death? how could you claim to "set someone free" when you throw them out as a lifeless corpse, not able to do anything until they are found? how could you say that?)

imagine using that logic on a crime dawg. yeah i killed them but it wasn't my intention so now their loved ones can't be mad at me for doing so, and they also need to forgive me. WHAT THE FUCK???

even wanderer says it in his voicelines. jesus christ. ("she completely neglected her own creation, and to add insult to injury, she said it was because she 'couldn't bring herself to intervene' in my fate..")

small p.d: i almost forgot about the feather ei gave him. (almost everyone does i'm ngl) yes, it was a way to, i guess 'protect him'? in a way? but, the fact that she gave him one thing (that does hold value, yeah, but god) while never even aknowledging his existence does not make her better.

(i can't remember the exact line in the HOOD set but oh my god. that "and she will not abandon you" someone says when seeing the feather, him knowing full well that she has done that. oh my god i need someone to hold me down)

[lesbianfakir]

Okay someone who knows more about dnd than I do help me sort out princess tutu rpg classes. My thoughts so far:

Tbh I could see Duck as either a bard or a cleric. Bard for nonviolent approaches to conflict and a dance focus. That said I could totally see her as a cleric, she’d make a natural fit as the healer of the party and princess tutu could be her deity.

Ok so Fakir has to multiclass in like the most inefficient way right? Starts as a low hp high dps melee fighter and eventually makes the transition to a magic user class (warlock perhaps?? Wizard of some sort?). It’s kind of funny to imagine him as guy who desperately needs a high wis/int but keeps dumping all his stats into strength out of sheer stubbornness. I mean he doesn’t HAVE to switch classes but I think it makes the most sense, he starts in a class that he’s really not suited for and has to transition to what’s best for him even if he’s not happy about it.

Mytho is a natural fit for a paladin tank (though I’d listen to an argument for cleric). He’s throwing himself in the way to protect all the members of the party with no regards to his own safety. Probably dies a lot.

Rue I’m most undecided on. I could see her as a magic using class like Druid (preferred form is a crow) or warlock (makes a pact with the Raven) or even a bard who uses her persuasion to start drama. In a totally different direction, I could also see her as a rogue just to balance out the party; she’s clever, resourceful, nimble, etc.

PLS GIVE ME YOUR THOUGHTS IVE BEEN ARGUING WITH MYSELF ABOUT THIS FOR AGES

#princess tutu #when I was playing dragon age origins I was assigning them classes #and the lore just writes itself MY GOD #the overlap between da and tutu fans is so small but if anyone cares I have lore I have backstories I have a whole fucking au #that said! the world of da is too bleak for those kids get them out of there!! #princess tutu: sex and violence #get them out of there 😭 #anyways I don’t know thatttt much about dnd but I am a big nerd #basing my class ideas here around. world of warcraft. what I’ve picked up from critical role. #and the character creation screen of baldurs gate
