#do not attempt to correct me

[fdrsamericanflagduckfloaty]

Can I have a random history fact that you really like for some reason? I want to annoy my family with history facts. If you have a list that’d be amazing infodump on me-

oh my god ok sO

i'd say a favorite would be, because TR could be such a FUCKING IDIOT, he was at this little formal reception right? And he was speaking with Mark Hanna, and accompanying Hanna was a Frenchwoman named Henriette Adler. And TR was so enthusiastic and energetic in his speaking (in rapid French) that his arm started to get closer to her bodice (almost destroying it/knocking it off.). But INSTEAD, this DUMBASS proceeded to accidentally elbow a silk rose and some gauze off. He started apologizing profusely but did NOT STOP THE WAR RHETORIC in FRENCH and thankfully it was fixed by someone getting a safety pin.

But that was. So. Not okay 😭😭 it was recreated in a Rough Riders 2 part tv mini-series and it's so embarrassing each time I watch istg

NEXT okay this is gonna seem rlly not-detailed but when you have a PDF of a TR book you can get details mkay

so like Alice Roosevelt, badass bitch, smoked while she was a teen. Okay?? Well I was reading a book on her and TO MY SURPRISE she let her 13 YEAR OLD BROTHER (Kermit) smoke a cigar with her. IS THAT NOT- okay im- a little bit OUT THERE but i digress

Also the entire Bisexual JFK theory is. Very very believable but I WILL NOT GET INTO THAT but tbh he probably was BUT ANYWAY

Also wanted to mention this list on wiki exists

And the GHWB incident is that this mf, AS THE PRESIDENT, vomited and then fainted on THE PRIME MINISTER OF JAPAN AT THE TIME. america has the stupidest stories ever i swear to god

This next one, which is also stupidly funny as fuck to me but also hella messed up, is that, okay, so TR had a riding accident when he was younger when Alice was still a tiny toddler. And he returned home with fucked clothing, a broken arm, and a bloody face. Like he looked like he was a murderer mk. And he, yknow, sees his daughter, goes running to her. She fucking SCREAMS. this man is NOT her father who is this RED MAN GET HIM AWAY WHAT THE HELL.

But he catches her and he's all bloody and sweaty and she is SCREAMING so he. Guess what. Does not put her down. Does not try to CALM HER DOWN.

He SHAKES HER. and im sorry but the image 😭 bloody ass TR shaking his daughter like a rattle im sorry

but when she DOES NOT CALM DOWN AS ONE WOULD NOT AND SCREAMS LOUDER, he SHAKES HER HARDER. i cannot make this shit up

im

i

oh my god anyways

also you likely know this but when it was thought that tomatoes were poisonous, Thomas Jefferson really ate one in front of people and they thought he was dying but when he was fine they were like "..... what the fuck"

Aaron Burr also lit himself on fire TWICE

Burr also bought a coconut for like 70 dollars or smth

(im just listing shit i know i cant think of any faves rn my brain blanked as soon as i read ur ask)

!! A favorite WOULD be that TR killed a man with his bare hands and was like rlly pumped about it but you already know that

And when some of his men were like 'we are NOT going up hill no ohmg' he was like 'DO IT OR I KILL YOU MYSELF' and they, yknow, ran up the hill

because. that is. threatening

I also would like to mention the insanity that was Lincoln liking cats and Lincoln growing a beard because a child more or less said he was ugly without one and Lincoln also maybe being bisexual

JFK's nickname by his wife, Jackie, was Bunny, bc apparently he fucked like a rabbit hjkglkmhklhkmkljk

Buchanan (James Buchanan, yknow, a president) might've been gay

Thomas Jefferson also called John Adams a hermaphrodite and i find that funny but also like. why. wh. where did you get that

Also this isnt a history fact but if i wanted to i could probably gaslight someone into thinking Andrew Jackson was on bathsalts bc a podcast i was watching mocked him by saying he was on bathsalts and tbh. accurate

Jefferson also had a ram on the White House grounds and did not get rid of it until AFTER it either harmed or killed a little boy

Harry S Truman and Ulysses S Grant both have an S as their middle name, but both of those S's mean nothing. Neither. Crazy that both S mean absolutely nothing

Grant's first name was also Hiram!!

Truman and his wife also needed to replace a bed during the white house cause they may or may not have *slams barbies together* so hard that they broke the bed

I'd also like to say the William Howard Taft bathtub myth is false klhmkhmj but ALSO i find it rlly sweet how, during TR's funeral, he was sobbing because, even tho TR was bitter during him for their last few years, Taft still considered TR a friend, and when Archie (TR's second youngest son--youngest at his funeral, as Quentin died in 1918) noticed him sobbing he was like 'come over here, you're a family friend.'

i forget the exact line but it was something close to that effect. So even though TR held a grudge, his kids didn't.

Apparently TR and Edith also fought like their entire marriage over how to pronounce Tomato and I'd like to know how he pronounced it cause wtf do you mean

ALSO for once it is not American BUT: Winston Churchill and his wife, Clementine, had nicknames for each other. Animal nicknames. His was Pig. I forget hers but. Really. P i g .

She also once threw a plate of something (asparagus or smth i dont remember) at his face and it instead hit the wall so like bad bitch moment

And finally:

all of our presidents were DUMBASSES <3

(also the Hoover Dam is named after Herbert Hoover, not J. Edgar Hoover, i think that's a common misconception.)

OH the Roosevelts also had a pet racoon for a period of time. so whenever i see something reference the Coolidge's pet racoon, Rebecca, I want to be like 'yknow the roosevelts had one pre-white-house days'

i hope thats enough idk

#🐝 #sorry for sounding fucking insane #also since im in denial still i'd say the only reason quentin roosevelt died so young is because the world was not ready for him #he was described as being just like his father therefore that is why i say this #do not attempt to correct me

[winepresswrath]

I will laugh so hard if it turns out that John is making a sincere effort at being a decent parent and it's such an awful outcome for Gideon that I feel like it's plausible. He's giving off such man who thinks of himself as a good guy confronted with oops baby vibes.

#like he did get babytrapped and in fact attempted baby murdered and he knows he shouldn't make it Gideon's problem so he's trying not to #but she is a walking reminder of his dead besties' murder attempt #just. the way he says no reason to be an asshole to the mother of your child #the way he's like oh no you don't have to swear loyalty to me that's an inappropriate amount of pressure to put on our relationship #very funny under the murderstances #but also these are the words of a dude who felt tremendous contempt for men who whine about child support #and yet!! he's a tremendously vindictive and self centred person. what's a guy to do #he got babytrapped and it wasn't even because they wanted him around! it's because they wanted him gone! #and his kid is the murder weapon! #how is this fair? #very fun intersection of him knowing what the correct answer most in line with his values is #with the bit where he's just wildly unqualified to do that #you've got a #sims playing alcohol abusing vengeful god in the midst of a depressive episode #taking a deep breath and attempting a child centric approach #he's not going to be good at it! #he is also not going to immediately murder her to fuck over his enemies tho so he's still winning #for now!

fear and hunger? more like - kiss and hug her <3 I just wanted to draw olivia and abella about to enter the smooch zone :,)

#kickdraw #fear and hunger #abella fear and hunger #olivia fear and hunger #i still can't decide if i like abella with karin or olivia - but also why not just have 2 girlfriends? #i still need to play through more of the game without playing olivia so i can get more of her dialogue.... #i also need to save mr chef more but... abella is so cool... its so hard to let her go :'( #i think... abella's head is a little too small... but i am out of energy to do corrections for this daily doodle attempt lol #i thought of kiss and hug her when posting that and can't stop laughing - im going to say this 600 times #my bf just gave me the worst look when i told him im crying laughig

[anxiously-sidequesting]

you see Girls, i have this chronic clinical condition that has me vulnerable to sympathizing with irredeemable villains we as the audience are supposed to reject and despise in according to the narrative. it's called Woobifyitis. it's fatal and when i inevitably die in six days im going to be buried right inbetween malistaire and morganthe where i belong

#inspired by a discord conversation im having right now #i know i made that shitpost about making fun of malistaire several months ago but honestly? whatever. he's one of my favorites actually #im stuck in this limbo between “liking characters the narrative wants us to hate” and “forgetting what theyve done teehee 💖” #yeah morganthe was a war criminal! yeah grandfather spider attempted omnicide! who hasnt!? #also duncan can do no wrong actually. sorry i'm correct about this. he's committed no crimes to me #wizard101 #wiz101 #w101 #text posts #one day people will be so Done with me and my shitty(?) opinions. you guys have my permission to find my house and kill me on that day #love you tumblr user zorphie. we're having the best conversations always

It's not a direct one-to-one since Moe is firmly on the side of The Power of Friendship, but I do think it has the exact energy as The Devil from The Bible (Shadow fandub) when pressed a little too much and a mask slips

#fire emblem #feh #moe voice every day i wake up i have fun and be myself and attempt to select the correct dialogue options and be personable #while also maintaining that i'm fucked up and evil and super scary actually. i'm both god's favorite AND condemned and abhorred #and if i show any signs of weakness the self fulfilling prophecy will fulfill itself. everyone WILL hate me but like isn't that??? good???? #seclusion is safety after all. and i'm undoing all the damage done and becoming unacceptable. #AND YET. i wake up every day and i have fun and be myself and i stay silly and i hang out and have a good time. #through gritted teeth i am.

Amazing how healing a big ancient slightly crushed hunk of plastic can be

A little acetone and a good scrubbing took care of the vast majority of the grunge. He’s CERTAINLY in better shape than the atrociously stained Leonardo, anyway. There is this:

Where I can only assume he was laying flat with something heavy on top of him for a few….decades…or wedged between things, maybe. Totally deformed one bit of his shell. I tried to sort of squish him back into place after a bit of blow dryer heating, but I think if I want to actually be able to shape him back into place I might need to level up to an actual heat gun. Not sure if that’s worth it, honestly, as I’m uncertain what else I might ever need a heat gun for.

I do however definitely have some faux black leather left from making Misty’s Shinsuke doll, so recreating his belt won’t be difficult at all.

My fingers fit into his hands. Maybe I can make a model magic bo staff? Wire core? I have to take it out to make the mushroom jewelry (unrelated) anyway.

On wednesday I saw him in the shop window (waiting for me), but the shop has odd hours, thursday-saturday. Made another attempt on thursday after physio, but they had closed early, maybe because the weather was atrocious. So it remained, on friday, so I did not try. Phoned first, today. The quoted price, with ‘wiggle room’ (I only suggested $5 off which doesn’t make me much of a haggler but did only put him a few cents over the price that in my head was past the limits of what I should allow for the sake of the inner child Looking at me and saying pllleeeeeeaaassseeeeee?)

Wash water is still running out of all his joints and I love him very much.

#No YOU’RE cradling a scuffed up piece of ancient pop culture like a swaddled baby and cooing at it #now if you'll excuse me I'm going to do heat gun repair research and possibly pattern a little trenchcoat #idk how to explain to my mother that I kind of PREFER that his shell is a bit crushed #because then I can attempt to correct it #and probably nobody else would so he would just sit there labelled Flawed #and more importantly if I cannot correct it then THAT IS OK and he is still beloved

the J scar on jasons cheek in arkhamverse drive me insane (derogatory)!!!!! like no. what? no. NO. ur joking me. nope. nu-uh. a j???? branded onto his FACE????? NO!!! fr fr i totally get him being mental illness supreme he deserves to be so insane for that. FOREVER BRANDED ON HIS FACE. no!!!!!!!!!

Behold, my latest and most enamouring new obsession:

Malina, Lady of the Chief of the Northern Water Tribe. As if Red Lotus child OCs weren’t niche enough

#my art #artists on tumblr #the legend of korra #lok malina #still feel like that’s too vague of a tag but I can’t come up with anything better for now #and yeah. she has completely stolen by heart and I don’t know how to feel about that #don’t think I ever was this attracted to my own art before #to be fair the design isn’t mine. it’s very heavily based on something nina drew back in 2021 #because I did not have the energy or creativity to come up with my own thing #but the art is all mine and I genuinely adore it. super proud of myself which is a rare occurrence #anyways. kat and I spent three days digging this niche lower and lower and now have a he #*hell of a lot of lore about this basically nonexistent character #for lore about a lady from the North Pole a lot of it is rather hot… to the point my cheeks are burning non stop #I would say I’d let her do anything she wants to me but in my very specific aroace-adjacent case it’s more like #I’d let her tell me to do anything she wants to her #if that makes any sense and I have not completely lost my goddamn mind yet #okay. enough yapping. back to the art itself #lazy background because I suck at those and am not currently attempting to learn them. I’ll probably do that over the summer #about time anyway. my characters have been placed against an off-white background for far. far too long #this is the first piece in just over a year that isn’t tagged with sotrl. which is kinda weird tbh #I’ve been drawing my OCs almost exclusively for nearly 5 years so it is genuinely surprise I’m branching out #*surprising #less branching out and more diving from one hole into another but y’know #anyway. in my personal and very correct opinion she turned out absolutely gorgeous #her servants are way too lucky and unalaq is way too much of an idiot. no offence to vaatu but he could never beat out this #and I also have Kat’s personal and very correct opinion to back up my own. two against the void. once again we’re winning #I wanna draw her a lot more bc she has completely possessed my brain. I just wish character interactions were easier to draw 😭 #I’ll figure it out. just need to fight my visualisation issues for a proper idea. brb #okay I’m almost at the tag limit so. in summary: #she 🩵🩵🩵🩵🩵

[flowering-darkness]

To follow on from that last ask answer:

Lorenza’s succubus companion (screen left) compared to her initial form directly after the Flood of Darkness (centre) ..compared to her form directly before the Flood of Darkness (top)

And if you want to know the full story (Endwalker spoilers for the last picture, technically)..

This is (my in-game recreation of) her counterpart shard ^-^

(Cessair is apparently an Irish name meaning “sorrow” or “affliction”, so part of me is tempted to call her Thirteenth counterpart Tristezza, which means “sorrow” in Italian. But I’m not sure if I will go that far yet; my focus is moreso on Cessair herself. I have quite inexplicably gotten attached to her despite this encyclopaedia entry and Cait Sith’s dialogue during the Shadows of Mhach quests being just about the only information to exist regarding her. When Lorenza enters the Source in the main story, it is the third time she has done so. Appearing to Cessair in the Fifth Astral Era was the second! The first was to the Allagans.

How do I know Cessair had counterpart shards, you might ask? Because you can see her unsundered self in the game as well - next to Cait Sith, at that!)

(..You would not believe how much trouble I had to go through to unmask her and the others. But I got there in the end!)

Thank you to anyone who has taken the time to read this ^-^ I’m just having fun here, hehe

#I might change her hairstyle to look more like the actual wind-up doll #but I was trying to keep it consistent with her counterpart shard #the same is true of her eye colour because I somehow failed to notice the doll’s eyes are gold #heart of the void #selfshipping #sure #friend: mage of forbearance (cessair) #I kind of want to just keep everything for her under that one tag #even if it isn’t 100% correct #platonic F/Os #of shards and crystal (final fantasy) #maybe I should change that to “setting’’ instead #funnily enough despite the exact horns being available in-game it is very difficult to make a glamour that looks like the succubus outfit #I don’t exactly think of her as acting how they normally do in things but. let me know if I need to tag that outfit attempt nevertheless #I highly doubt I will really do much with it though. that’s half the reason she just exists as the doll /lh
