Me: my paring knife needs to be sharpened, I'll take this opportunity to commune with Eliot-muse *sharpens my knife*

Eliot: should've deburred it first. Don't be lazy next time. Knife'll last longer.

Me: sir this is an Ikea paring knife with a plastic handle

Eliot: it's your favorite paring knife

Me: it's my only paring knife

Eliot: all the more reason

Me: spose you're right. Thanks

To me, being trans is one of the most incredible blessings a human can receive from HaShem. From the moment we take our first breath, we are given the wondrous opportunity to mould ourselves b'tzelem Elohim–in the image of G-d. Every day we get to decide what b'tzelem Elohim means for us; we get to lovingly form ourselves like clay, every iteration a reflection of the Divine all on its own, into the image… the person that HaShem always knew we could become.

On a scale of pure comedy to heartbreak, Imogen realizing that she and her girlfriend were not alone despite all appearances to the contrary:

#musings: cr #cr3 #imodna #imogen temult #just wants to kiss her girlfriend in peace is that so much to ASK!!! 😭 #also at some point pate and delilah should talk i'm so curious what he thinks of her lol + make matt do all the self-conversations #potato quality gifs for my own reference #c3e65 #c3e77

Ever have your bestie read you like a freaking book??

Some context??

Hitch wasn't at the best place when Amalma met him so she did somewhat latched onto him to make sure he will be alright.

What Hitch is referring to regarding romance is just Amalma's general history of crushes on bugs and who they were. Hitch was very straight forward with his question and Amalma didn't mind until Hitch realized a pattern that Amalma didn't... :D

a bit of hint on one of the crushes is in there~

#hollow knight #oc #muse: Amalma #muse: Hitch #my art #AHAHAHAHA! #it's kind of nice that they're this close #very fun conversations and dynamic #thank you folks for suggesting me activities I used for a doodle~

Unironically a non-zero amount of my antipathy to basically* every big budget modern DC adaptation is a continuing sense of betrayal from growing up with the Diniverse justice league cartoons and then discovering that in every other main lineup ever a) there's no Hawkgirl and b) Green Lantern is white and also boring.

*the cute romcom superman from last year and the john cena suicide squad tv show excepted

Honestly with all the overlap between sci-fi and fantasy fans, I’m really surprised that “high fantasy in space” isn’t more of a thing.

There are some things generally assumed by most to be sci-fi that I’d personally label space fantasy, like Star Wars, where the high tech is just there as a backdrop to a classic heroic story of good guys vs. bad guys, who are definitely doing magic (by using the force). The point of Star Wars isn’t the tech or anything, it just happens to be a tale told in space. It contrasts pretty starkly with something like Star Trek, where the vast majority of episodes revolve around exploring whatever scientific or philosophical concept the writers thought would be kinda neat that week, using established characters as a vehicle for said exploration.

I think one of my favorite things about Honkai Star Rail is that it freely and unabashedly mixes sci-fi and fantasy. It just goes “You are a walking neutron bomb. Also turns out your bestie is from a self-reincarnating race of dragon people with powerful water and illusion magic. They live on this big, planet-sized ship that’s dedicated to hunting down this one cosmic horror that cursed all the ship’s inhabitants with immortality, under the banner of this other cosmic horror that exists solely to kill the first cosmic horror. Let’s go on vacation to the theme park planet, the actual resort is technically an Alice-in-Wonderland style dream triggered by the same kinda cosmic-horror-gifted bomb as you. Your new friend is a meme. By the way, did we tell you about the one time this super-genius harnessed the power of *imagination* to build a death ray that instantly obliterated a bunch of planets? That was kinda fucked up, huh.” Sometimes Star Rail tries to give explanations for its tech in a way that seems believably sciencey. Sometimes shit’s just straight up called magic or it’s from some deity or another and none of the characters present have a good understanding of why, so you all just go about your bullshit. It makes it work within the context of its established universe.

Cosmic horror in general is often (but not always) found in sci-fi, but where the point of sci-fi is to expand on and detail a concept in a believably scientific way or explore the impacts of a scientific thing, the point of cosmic horror is that there is a Thing that is beyond human understanding or comprehension. Sci-fi is a fun thing to insert it into, because the more scientifically sensible and well-understood elements of the world you have, the more jarring that becomes.

Then you’ve got things like Dungeon Meshi, which exists in an inverse of something like Star Rail: it takes a very Tolkien-inspired Dungeons and Dragons-esque setting, and then details it in a very scientifically sensible way. There is magic, and there are these fantastical monsters, yes, but the monsters are parts of their own delicate and intricate ecosystems, they are edible, and they have very particular nutritional values and ways you can cook them! The protag’s biggest strength lies in him being a nerd about monster biology. Magic, too, by the end of it, ends up with a plausible enough explanation as well. And the explanation is a cosmic horror! In this way, Dungeon Meshi, despite being built entirely off of very easily recognizable and classic fantasy tropes, is probably more accurately classed as sci-fi.

I just love all of it. Can I get like 50 more of these fucked up lil mixtures of science and magic please?

#ch.txt #honkai star rail #dungeon meshi #star wars #star trek #sci fi #fantasy #tagging all these bc I wanna hear if other people have cool thoughts on the subject #hopefully this isn’t considered bloating those tags or w/e #this came about from musings and conversations abt what kinda world/story I wanna write? since I’m redoing my lil sci-fantasy project

Already deeply involved in this wip and the story after it, but at work so can't just sit and write it. Thinking about how this fic feels different and why, and I go "oh I think my affection for schitt's creek is affecting my range of plot types" and now my brain is like "schitt's creek crossover! Schitt's creek crossover!"

I cannot, I have to finish my wip!

"But early season crossover where Eliot comes through town and David and Alexis both flirt with him until they find out he was instrumental in taking down their corrupt money manager and then everything is awkward!"

No absolutely not I'm too busy.

"Can't stop won't stop"

The best thing about BSD Lucy Montgomery is that she is trying so hard to live her fairy tale dream, like asking Atsushi to save her from the Guild and all that nonsense.

Instead, she just gets beaten by him once when they're enemies, gets out of the Guild on her own, and has to save that sorry boy's life over and over again.

Like, sorry, Lucy girl...you're not the damsel in distress in this fairy tale. You're the prince charming who had a bit of a villain arc and now is doing good out of sheer spite and stubborness. Better luck next arc?

#like the more i think about it the more i think lucy is just trying so hard to live an idealistic story #but life is just so mean to her that her romanticist idealism has turned into her holding onto those ideals out of sheer spite #even though she more often than not acts the most sensible out of all the bsd characters #like the girl was like 'oh yeah actually joining a criminal organisation is a bad way to cope' after one (1 or 2) conversation with atsushi #and then she went and proceeded to get herself a job #and then she talked to fukuzawa and gave him pretty solid advice without stopping him #not to mention the minute things went topsy turvy during doa she actually manged to storm the government and demand reason #my girl is desperately trying to be part of this fantasy world but she's too worldwise to truly fall for it #maybe im just reading too much into it but still...its amazing #bsd #bungo stray dogs #bungou stray dogs #bsd musings #humor #bsd lucy #character analysis #spitting nonsense

Writing down the dialogue just in case.

KD: "Oi, boss, a question."

D: "Hm...?"

KD: "You think we're- uh... Gettin' too close?"

"..."

D: "Nah, we's just professional, Dice, we all know it."

KD: "Ah, good to hear."

Went to three stores today and got mistaken for an employee at literally each one 🙃 I was wearing casual clothes and sneakers and had a tote bag too! Does my face scream "how can I help you" 😭🙏 This happens to me a lot for some reason

When I went to Scotland someone actually stopped me MID POWER WALK and said "could you take a picture of us? Sorry your face just looked really friendly" 🤣

(It does mean I have nice conversations though 🌞)

#musings #its a nice trait cause it means i look approachable at least #i just think its hilarious and the people asking me usually get awkward LOL #just today i was buying a new pan #and a guy thought i was an employee and asked me about a good pan #got embarrased when i told him i didnt work there #but we had a ~10 min conversation about pots and pans and i chose two for him #he was a newcomer to canada and just learning to cook #that was kinda nice #guess i have the opposite of the rbf 🤣
