So can we get an all women’s season of physical 100 XD I’m pretty sick of the constant “well they’re not physically strong so our team is going to suck” it’s pretty fucking annoying when it happens to literally every single woman contestant :/

#physical 100 #Netflix physical 100 #physical 100 season 2 #p100s2 #Netflix physical 100 season 2 #I want an all women’s season so bad bc at this point it seems impossible for a woman to win #but also I’m tired of constantly listening to all the men belittle them #I was talking to a friend and she mentioned literally even just actually having half of the contests be women would be pretty fair #bc rn it’s literally like 8-100 #that or literally have a men’s/women’s season #ACTUALLY BE FAIR #I also hate how little they focus on the women #even when they’re doing the challenges!!! #there’s literally 4 people and the woman doesn’t even get to say anything on andre’s intra team roller match #I SAY THIS BECAUSE I LOVE THIS SHOW FR #I SEE SO MUCH POTENTIAL #I just can’t help and notice what seems to be an obvious issue 😭😭😭

#fish #koi fish #yin and yang #sun and moon #ldr #long distance #long distance relationship #but also it can mean anything you think it means #friendships.. identity.. world dimensions #also um. sorry if theybdont look like koi fish irl #i went off of my soul (vibes and feelings) not a reference pixture #theyre some kind of fish thats for sure … #ebonytailsart #going to turn this into a fish #may even turn the fish into acrylic charms or stickers in the future because i love them #sadly the print will not be as intense as this #but thats bevause neon cyan is impossible to print so far. well. not impossible. but its Very Hard to capture with inks #so the final product IRL would be different #but until i have a physical store you get the pretty intense version #i love you. digital art. but the average printing world is not ready for you as much as we want it to be #this print will be A5..? 5.83 inches squared #god i hope it comes back looking alright #doing test prints rn #the fish. they are in love

Luke: *Bursting into the room* Babe, I have the best idea: caffeinated mac and cheese!

Din: Luke, Sweetheart, how long have you been awake?

Luke: I'm not really sure, but all three of you are being super judgmental right now.

#din lures luke to bed with macaroni made with decaf coffee because hes weak #and luke is physically impossible to put to bed #he floats and has a laser sword #its a lot #dinluke #luke skywalker #din djarin

Massive protest in Buenos Aires against severe budget cuts for free public universities. People sing "And now you see, and now you see, those who don't jump voted for Milei".

#i didn't take the best video #but i hope it's clear that this agglomeration I recorded here was not even close to the entirety of the people gathered up to protest #it was so massive you couldn't get to the plaza where the protest was meant to culminate #because there was so much people it was entirely occupied and it was physically impossible to advance #the subways were filled to the brim in both directions and you had to stand in line to use them. which NEVER happens #people who you could never even concieve of going to a protest were there. people ideologically opposed to protests were going. #people of all different political leanings were singing their own songs and suddenly united singing our national anthem in unison #you do NOT fuck with our public education. universidad gratuita pública laica y federal. #on a tangentially related note #there were basically no reports of repression even though they had been going crazy with police brutality in all the previous protests. #i think it's bc there literally weren't enough cops to handle this amount of people #a revolution is sounding reeeeeeally appealing right about now

Some (late) holiday photos of the boye~!

#cats #holiday #OUGHH....... barely could even get these edited and posted... my mysterious sickness flare up has been sooo bad the past few #days.. I didn't even go to the usual obligatory family christmas I was supposed to attend (!!! health issue/medical mention in tags below) #My stomach issues basically put me in a constant state of uncontrollable shivering/body shaking + nausea + sometimes rapid heart #rate. and when it happens at night that makes it like.. nearly impossible to sleep when you're violently shaking + you can feel your heart #so strong + you keep having to run to the bathroom every 5 minute to cough and gag #and throw up and so on and so forth. etc. So I went like 40 hours without any sleep almost for christmas eve and all of christmas day #last night I finally got maybe 2 hours of sleep in between the nausea and shaking and stuff. and then today I was able to get a few #hours of sleep in the afternoon. Today I tried taking an anxiety mediciation a doctor gave me in case it was anxiety related (it's apparent #ly used to relax people and works in the moment. rather than like Anxiety Mediciation that you have to take for weeks to see any effect #because I think this isn't actually acting on your brain chemistry it's judt like..a mild sedative or something.) but all that did was make #me dizzy and sweaty lol. I;m glad I slept a little but I'm just still frustrated that I don't feel normal. I started having these #'episodes' (with the stomach issues + shaking + heartrate + nausea etc.) like at the end of october. And usually it will happen for like a #few hours at a time. or i'll lose sleep one day and then be fine the next. but this has been like nearly 3 days of feeling weird. so is #getting kind of annoying... It's funny too because I was so so productive like.. literally the few days before. I was feeling much better #and I was working on my game and blah blah. But then.. random issue flare up out of nowhere of course.. yaayy.... happy holidays to meee lo #I did at least see two random ducks outside of my window in the yard area for christmas. and havent seen them since. So it's like.. hrmm.. #pacing around my room nauseous and shakings and etc. but at least... hello.. two little ducks placed there just for me :3c #Now I get anxiety every night which I'm sure doesn't help/could exacerbate whatever underlying genuinely physical issues exist. But after #like 2 nights of 'I spend the night sleepless and incredibly uncomfortable just sitting in the dark sick' then bedtime is like.. dread... #I even was trying slapping myself in the face in desperation to see if somehow that could shock my body out of whatever the hell it was #doing lol.. up at 3am holding ice cubes in my hand and hitting myself in the head and crying from exhaustion and thowing up.. literally #ridiculous cartoon character feeling... AAANYWAY!!! At least I have baby boy pictures. and I have lots of doctors appointments so hopefully #whatever the issue is can be sorted out at some point. I don't know much about ibs but hopefully maybe something like that that I could pos #ibly take medication for and not something more seirous or anything. Maybe there's a food I'm secretly intolerant to or whatever. #And I did at least post a sims holday video actually timed for the holidays so that's something. I havent been productive really latrely #though obviously.. I can't even play games or small tasks when in that state since I'm just SO physically uncomfortable. Nausea and heart #stuff are THE hardest physical sensations to ignore.. BUT yeah... hoping I shall sleep at all tonight. hopeing to get like 3 productive #things done.. at some point... at least SOMETHING... lol..... *** *** ***

Wheat stalk bc nickelodeon wouldn’t let them put a cigarette in there

this brings up broader discourse of would atla universe even have tobacco. like there's no rules its a fantasy world they could have tobacco but would they ? if so where would it be grown ? they have alcohol (its referenced in the Kyoshi novels) and in s2e1 Aang has a drink that's presumably caffeinated (though its probably tea and not coffee - existence of coffee beans is ANOTHER avenue of discourse - personally on the side of no coffee so we can escape coffee-drinker headcanons...) but there are no intimations at any other stimulants/substances... this is probably cus its a y-7 Nickelodeon cartoon but like usually there's SOMETHING....

they definitely have weed though only thing that explains Chong

#allgremlinasks #atla discourse <- the fun kind #I make a lot of Jet Vapes jokes but like. maybe the real reason he doesnt have a canon nicotine #addiction in the show is because its physically impossible for him to have one...

if i lived in the avatar universe and was from the water tribe and couldn’t waterbend but my younger sibling could and i just had to sit there and watch how powerful they got moving water with their mind and being able to heal and the sheer power and versatility of the form but no matter how hard i tried the water would not budge for me no matter what. well i would simply kill myself. sokka is so strong

#i rmr seeing katara’s waterbending develop and improve for the first time as a kid #and wanting that power so bad #having dreams about being able to move water and waking up distraught that it was just a dream #idk what I’d do if I was sokka #like the fact that he makes peace with it is crazy #I genuinely don’t think I could #and I know being a waterbender comes with a lot of baggage for katata #but it’s also so clearly a source of passion and joy and culture and healing and life and power #and knowing that you could have that... but you don’t!!! #oh man #no wonder he’s so depressed and bitter. honestly #like can u fucking blame him. I cannot #sokka #katara&sokka #but mostly a post about ME! because I want to waterbend #and my only consolation is that it’s physically impossible #imagine it being possible but u can’t! like srsly I’d end it all so quick #anyway i think this is why sokka hits different if ur disabled. iykyk

to me, the question of whether hera would want a body is first and foremost a question of autonomy and ability. she has an internal self-image, i think it's meaningful that the most pivotal moments in her character arc take place in spaces where she can be perceived the way she perceives herself and interact with others in a (relatively) equal and physical capacity, and that's worth considering. but i don't think it's about how she looks, or even who she is - and i think she's the same person either way; she's equally human without a body, and having a body wouldn't make her lived experience as an AI magically disappear - so much as it's about how she would want to live.

like most things with hera, i'm looking at this through a dual lens of disability and transness, both perspectives from which the body - and particularly disconnect from the body - is a concern. the body as the mechanism by which she's able to interact with the world; understanding her physical isolation as a product of her disability, the body as a disability aid. the body as it relates to disability, in constant negotiation. the body as an expression of medical transition, of self-determination, of choice. as a statement of how she wants to be seen, how she wants to navigate the world, and at the same time reckoning with the inevitable gap between an idealized self-image and a lived reality, especially after a long time spent believing that self-image could never be visible to anyone else.

it's critical to me that it should never imply hera's disability is 'fixed' by having a body, only that it enables her to interact with the world in ways she otherwise couldn't. her fears about returning to earth are about safety and ability; the form she exists in dictates the life she's allowed to lead and has allowed people to invade her privacy and make choices for her. dysphoria and disability both contribute to disembodiment - in an increasingly digitized world, the type of alienation that feels like your life can only exist in a virtual space... maybe there's something about the concept of AI embodiment, in particular as it relates to hera, that appeals to me because of what it challenges about what makes a 'real woman.' when it's about perception, about how others see her and how she might observe / be impacted by how she's treated differently, even subconsciously. it's about feeling more present in her life and interfacing with the world. but it's not in itself a becoming; it doesn't change how she's been shaped by her history or who she is as a person.

i think it comes back to the 'big picture' as a central antagonistic force in wolf 359, and how - in that context, in this story - it adds a weight to this hypothetical choice. hera is everywhere, and she's never really anywhere. she's got access to more knowledge than most people could imagine, but it's all theoretical or highly situational; she doesn't have the same life experiences as her peers. she has the capacity to understand that 'big picture' better than most people, but whatever greater portion of the universe she understands is nothing next to infinity and meaningless without connection and context. it's interesting to me that hera is one of the most self-focused and introspective people on the show. her loyalties and decisions are absolute, personal, emotionally driven. she's lonely; she always feels physically away from the others. she misremembers herself sitting at the table with the rest of the crew. she imagines what the ocean is like. there's nothing to say that hera having a body is the only solution for that, but i like what it represents, and i honestly believe it'd make her happier than the alternatives. if there's something to a symbolically narrowed focus that allows for a more solid sense of self... that maybe the way to make something of such a big, big universe is to find a tiny portion of it that's yours and hold onto it tight.

#wolf 359 #w359 #hera wolf 359 #idk. processing something. as always i have more to say but it's impossible to communicate all at once #it's a meaningful idea to me and i think there's a LOT more that can be done with it thematically than just. the assumption of normalcy #so much of hera's existence is about feeling trapped and that's only going to get worse on earth and within these two contexts #that's something i really feel for. especially with. mmm. #i don't like the idea that who hera is is tied to the way she exists because it seems to weirdly reinforce her own misconception #that there can never be another life for her. #and all of these things are specific to hera and to the themes of wolf 359 and NOT about AI characters in general #in other stories there are other considerations. #the best argument i can make against it is that she says getting visuals from one place is weird and she doesn't like it. but that's #a totally different situation where it's a further limitation of her ability without a trade off. it's a different consideration i think #when it allows her more freedom. to go somewhere and be completely alone by herself. to feel like she has more control and more privacy #to be able to hug her friends. or feel the rain. it would be one thing if she felt content existing 'differently' #but she... doesn't. canonically she doesn't. and i think that has to be taken into account. #i think you can tell a meaningful and positive story about disability without giving her physical form on earth too #but i think it has to be considered that those are limitations for her and that the way she exists feels isolating to her. #idk. a lot of the suggestions people come up with feel like they're coming from a place of compromise that i don't think is necessary #there are plenty of ways that having a body would be difficult for hera and i guess it's hopeful to me to think #maybe she'd still find it worth it.

Shout-out to everything that went wrong with ofmd s2 from production issues to bad pacing to killing Izzy because that effectively drained almost all of the creative energy out of my side of the fandom because now Im reading books again!

#izzy hands #the witches curse is broken #fanfic got me back into reading #but afterwards I couldn't get myself to read anything bc I was too busy reading fic lmao #but i got into audiobooks while at work and listened to those #but when I checked out physical copies to read of the sequels I still didn't read them #but yesterday during my lunch break i was like I wish I had a book to read... #because no-one (including me) has the desire to really make anything new to patch up our sinking ship #ofmd critical #i guess im only tagging this bc I know things get twisted #the down side though is the books Im reading dont have active fandoms or if they do they are small #or the series is overrr and any fandom interaction that i do is impossible until I catch up #but 90% of my fun comes from speculation

”A Dream Is a Wish Your Heart Makes” from Disney’s Cinderella and “Impossible” from Rodgers and Hammerstein’s Cinderella are both at minimum beside the point and possibly even opposed to the truth at the heart of the Cinderella story. Cinderella cannot escape her stepmother’s cruelty; she certainly cannot change any larger injustices in her kingdom. and so almost every single adaptation, when asking the question “so what can Cinderella do? where is her agency?”, answers it with “she can dream! she can hope for something to change!” Disney’s Cinderella sighs “they can’t stop me from dreaming!” this is her last recourse, the one activity available to her. Rodgers and Hammerstein’s fairy godmother, taking it even farther, says “the world is full of zanies and fools who don't believe in sensible rules and won't believe what sensible people say, and because these daft and dewey-eyed dopes keep building up impossible hopes, impossible things are happening every day”—believing in the impossible makes it come true, the dreaming is the impetus for the magic which will get Cinderella to the ball, it does do something in the end. when actually, the point of the Cinderella fairytale is that even when you don't have the power to have an effect on anything else in your situation or the world at large, you do have power over what sort of person you become. hoping and dreaming is fine as far as it goes, and might be considered a kind of necessary condition for remaining good and kind (once you give up holding onto hope it’s possible succumbing to bitterness is inevitable), but the hoping and dreaming is not the point. we don’t celebrate Cinderella marrying the prince because that’s her dream come true. we celebrate because she’s finally, at last, getting what she deserves, because of the kind of person she is! if none of Cinderella’s “dreams” came true and she still didn’t let the world turn her hard and cruel, she still would have won. the fairytale ending heaps victory on top of victory, revealing the miracle of Cinderella’s heart for all to see.

#in which cate tells stories #I've been trying to tease out the problems with the Douglas Carter Beane book for Cinderella #and had to admit that some of the R&H songs had problems to begin with!! #A Lovely Night gets the essence of the Cinderella ball exactly right I think #and Do I Love You Because You're Beautiful is right on the money! her physical transformation isn't about the physical!!! #but Impossible and to a lesser extent In My Own Little Corner miss the point. #turns out Cinderella 2015 is the only completely valid Cinderella?? love that for her #meta whine and rant

not shifting related, but i hath figured out that i don’t have selective mutism, but actually instead have verbal shutdowns.

#cosmoposts #marsposts #newtposts #cosmorambles #marsrambles #newtrambles #because like it happens whenever i’m overwhelmed/overstimulated/etc. #and not in just certain situations or anything #it also happens when i’m exhausted and burnt out #i just physically find it difficult/impossible to speak then #that’s why i want proper communication cards soooo bad #cuz it happens quite often and i wannnnt to communicate during those times #verbal shutdowns #i have shutdowns more than i have meltdowns too #and they’re all varied #sometimes the rage ones #sometimes the ones where i just wanna ball/am numb and have the verbal shutdown #and i don’t have meltdowns as much anymore #those happen when i’m REALLY under distress #which luckily isn’t as often as it used to be #neurodivergent

sometimes looking at like Self Help Strategies lists for the symptoms I'm having is always just like:

thing that I already do

thing I have tried 10 times

thing I already do

thing that I don't have the money to do

thing I already do

thing I've been doing since I was 10yrs old to no avail

thing that is impossible given my situation

thing that doesn't apply to me

thing that I already do

thing I have already tried

hrmm, oh wait, maybe finally- OH, yeah.. okay. thing that I already do but it was just phrased slightly differently

thing I have already done

#I think maybe productivity tips help less if the reason you're unproductive is partially like.. physcial health and other extenral things #out of your control. rather than just like having trouble paying attention or spending too much time on tiktok or whatever #all the strategic to do lists in the world are not going to somehow prevent me from waking up with a debilitating migraine or whatever #or having external stressors or lacking resources and connections or other Productivity Essentials etc. #especially many tips involve stuff like 'cut off from social media' since thats the modern day time waster for so many poeple #and it's like.. lol.. i can hardly even maintain a blog even thuogh i actively WANT TO DO SO. 'shut off your smart phone!' already #done babey i fucking hate smart phones i shall never use an app unless i am forced to. 'delete tiktok' yep. already covered. tiktok and #all of those thinsg are my enemies. 'save money by cancelling some of your services' cool. already ahead of you. #who the fuck is out here paying for like 10 different subscription services. pirated videos uploaded to google drive and youtube to mp3 #my beloved. etc. etc. and so on.

Ithink something about the way my body/mind is SOO hyper attuned to all #sensory information just makes it like... constantly 'GRR well I cant focus on WRITING right now because my lef #t ear feels weird and my socks are too itchy and my back has a strange pressure and I'm vaguely warm and my eye feels some ssort of #way it doesnt normally feel and I'm hyperaware of my breathing and also nauseous for no reason' and like half of those things I #think '''normal''' people wouldnt even notice or at least would be able to just live through. but for me it's like.. nealry impossible to i #gnore and soooo distracting always. like 'wahh.. nooo we can't draw or get anything done.. my legs feel slightly heavy or something!!' #like............. ok......... who cares. thats not even a PAIN sensation it's just something weird. but it's just like.. NO. constant #mental alerts about the 'heaviness' of your legs be upon ye. Though Imean like.. yes.. 70% of the time I am in genuine pain #or having some sort of actual ailment with trackable physical symptoms. but sometimes it's just like... we could totally be working right #now and ignoring this silly thing but my brain is fixated on it for no reason uncontrollably. etc. etc. I guess it's the same way that like #most people can go to a grocery store without the whole experience being so overwhelming and so much stuff going on at once #that they have to rest afterwards but like.. in my own HOME doing NOTHING i feel like I should be able to not get overwhelmed lol. ANYWAY #Rolling my bastard little rock up a dumbass hill and so on and so forth
