#few common mistakes

[carnivalcarriondiscarded]

one thing about me w/ creative freedom is that in all of my Personal Lore i will make dragons so People. they are a People. yeah yeah animalistic dragons dragons that are beasts we've all seen it. what about the very intelligent dragons. dragons with their own cultures and societies and languages. dragons who belong to a higher form of existence too. what about them

#i simply Cannot do the 'dragons are tameable animals' thing i cant #its fun to Observe and Enjoy in other medias #but my own headworlds? My lore? nahhhhhh fuck that they are People <3 #like i have an offshoot that is basically 'animal dragons EXCEPT! theyre not actually dragons at all <3 humans just call em dragons- #-cause its the closest word they have for what the big rideable winged critters look like' #ough sorry headworld posting on main. kinda. vaguely #vague headworld posting.... #balancing the various facets of Dragon is so so fun #my headworld docs are full to bursting and i aint done yet babeyyyyyy #absolutely unprompted #as an apology for this i will be posting some misc. laughingstock in a bit #BUT this is still this tags and i have a reputation for rambling #anyway i just. im feeling indulgent affection for my dragons tonight. their lore. their history. how it ties into others' #theyre out there making music and art and Mistakes #dragons: we'll do better than the humans. we will be better. we Are better. #narrator: they are not. in fact. better. #dragons and humans being more similar than either would ever admit. except for a select few <3 #and then My Boy coming in clutch and irreversibly tying the two together #ough. thoughts thoughts Thoughts #i need to come up with more casual lore. games and common phrases and stories and how their learning system works #veran dragons my beloved <3<3<3<3<3 #ah i love posting about things that only make sense to Me

heads up, on panel 7 I think you made a spelling error? "I only loosed one shrew"

Thanks for the heads up! Though, hm, unless you mean the missing period (which woops, I did miss... though maybe that's just how hard she's muttering), that is correct. It would be loosed instead of lost in the context of the described action (unless I've lost my mind, which is at all times possible lol)

#seriously though if you ever catch a spelling mistake feel free to send it #there's a few words I *religiously* typo misspell and a few I just religiously misspell no matter knowing the correct spelling #typo misspellings are weird bc those are words I know the spelling to but my hands are like “THIS PATTERN IS HOW THAT WORD IS TYPED THO :)” #I wonder if that's a common thing? #likewise there's a few words I use the british spelling for which is just ?????? neighbour being the number 1 #why!!! #this blabbing is to say that even tho this time I'm pretty sure that's correct I really do appreciate heads up like these #they do every now and then get past both me and my editor #so (claps hands together) ty for help

posting on here is like my sisyphean boulder i'm constantly rolling tbh

#god i am trying so hard to just have fun and be myself #but when i do that i'm immediately a strange outsider creep #and since i can't really mask my version of masking is just not talking and then obviously you don’t find any joy in fandom spaces either #i will always be a shitty unlikable freak no matter how much i pretend otherwise. it was obvious from the start that getting involved in #fandom spaces was a fucking mistake. it's always a mistake because you're some laughing stock at best and a horrifying freak at worst #i don't blame people for not liking me i've realised what an awful person i am long ago #but it's always so hard witnessing something like fun social groups from the sidelines knowing you'll never be a part of it #this is why my mental state has been deteriorating so severely in the last few months. that Realisation once again nothing fucking changed #i know it's stupid to get so upset over fandom but it's only a pattern for me #i stopped trying to be friends with people when i was a teenager because it hasn't worked a single time #this attempt at integrating myself into the wotr and bg3 fandom by sharing my shit was just one mistake #gortash/zeke is so different from anybody else’s work and i wish i could find joy in something that it isn’t fucking deranged but i can’t #like yes it’s just fandom bullshit! gortash/zeke is a fucking oc x canon ship! why am i getting so upset over it! #i love writing them. i’ve never been this happy writing anything. and it’s entirely indicative of a common pattern in my life #when i earnestly share parts of myself/things i’m passionate about people get creeped out. and honestly? rightfully so #i would leave the discord servers i’m in because it’s fucking crushing me dude. this is so petty but i’m so jealous of what you people have #but in one i am server owner and i don’t want to just dump that responsibility onto someone else and then dip #and in the other two i’m not sure anyone would even notice that i’m gone but i still worry about being rude #though i’m not entirely sure i didn’t get invited to one of those just so people could laugh at me. idk probably just being paranoid but i #it’s been gnawing at me #ok no if i’m being this vulnerable on tunglr.com i can also say that part of me staying is also still having the hope that i could fit in #one day. logically i know it won’t happen but it’s nice to have hope sometimes #watching you all from through the window having fun like a creep #so yeah. i’ve always felt like this but it’s been rapidly getting worse with my failed attempt at the bg3 fandom #idk just been crying non-stop for the last few hours. went through an entire pack of tissues in an hour it’s very disgusting #they’re all lying around me as i’m typing this like a pillowfort of snot lmao #so yeah. idk. if someone could come over and lobotomise me that’d be nice. orin where are you when we need you most #i never had any friends irl so i foolishly gave this a shot. i’m sorry #also doesn’t help that i can see someone dropping me for people that are easier to be around in irl rn #it just hurts because it’s always like that. someone you are around when you have no other option at best. not even that sometimes

I can't believe this BITCH just took Asuka's first kiss... those lips are for her LITTLE SISTER

#incredible mean for them to put that in the common route of the VN #unless somehow things went horribly wrong and I stumbled into the Sakuya route by mistake #but that seems strange because I sure didn't try to be nice to her #though also there were very few choices explicitly about picking Sakuya so maybe?? #though also I am not out of chapter 3 yet so surely it's the common route? #idk gonna have to see tomorrow or so I guess #nurse love addiction #nurse love addiction spoilers

I'll keep it simple, fuck A.I. artists, I don't care how 'proud' you are of your 'work' The only thing you did was type on a keyboard and wait for a text or an image to generate. You didn't put any effort into it, nothing, you. are. a. fraud. A thief. Get yourself together and understand this "A.I. art" is stealing people's jobs. If you're that dense to notice it, then I don't think there's hope for ya.

#fuck ai art #rambles #i apologies #if i sounded too rude #but it is my opinion #ai is not art #that is an obvious fact #and common sense #that some people seem to not have #and in which i feel pity for you #to not understand you are #making people's lives worse #stealing their jobs #and their hard #worked art and stories #just to call it your own? #selfish dont you think? #PS i am sorry if there is a few mistakes #my keyboard hates me and #english is not my first language #anyways #to people who DONT use AI “art” or “stories” #i hope you have a wonderful day. #:)

Someone please tell Me if aiming for 1 date a week when single is realistic

This book How Not To Die Alone gave such advice and while I realize where it's coming from good intentions in theory (making dating Hesitators who always feel they need to be more perfect before dating to just Go Date), i also frankly don't know how I'd meet 1 vaguely stable vaguely compatible person to ask out in a year let alone weekly.

#rant #like. if i were to meet the once a qeek quota right now? #id basically HAVE to ask out someone with nothing in common or whos in a poly relationship even tho #tyats not what im looking for (so the relationsgip would go nowhere and id waste both our time) #or with red flags (overt ones... which i simply refuse to do) #and then... if somehow i disregarded all boundaries and asked out virtually Anyone #and thats assuming ppl say yes. and i matxhed 10k people once and 1 single incompatible person said yes in a whole year. #well even IF it all worked out and i found one date a qeek. #im chronically ill and have gastroparesis. so SITTING hurts a lot and EATING food is not always possible for me #if i have a bad day i cant eat foods for a few days or week #and even on good days... one bad food choice can mean puking and pain and unable to eat for a WEEK following #so im scared of restaurant food a bit. #because even when i order very safely and barely eat. a restaurant might make a mistake and add food im allergic too #or forget to remove what i asked. or i didnt realize they used dairy in a salad dressing #and then im puking and bloated and in oain and starving for days :/ #so like. a coffee date? a tea date? id be up for that. resonably safe its jyst flavored water. #but ANY restaurant or long movie (sitting) or something involving food and im quite scared i would be #very sick the remainder of the week. #and i have othef things to save my energy for vesides dates: WORK MEETINGS. work so i dont call in sick VOMITING. #my family wanting a nice dinner including some bread (and me reallt wanting the bread and to not have to skip dinner so i want to risk it) #my 2 times weekly PT where i cant call in sick and if im exhaustsd and vomiting and in intense pain PT is VERY hard. #my friends who (like dates) often wish to grab food. which as mentioned is always a huge risk and #i always sacrifice Getting to see friends i love with May Be Utterly fucked up for a week :c

Been thinking a lot about the Starwake System's learning and intellectual disabilities and honestly, I am very glad we ended up keeping them instead of making them highly intelligent. Mainly because it'd be nice to have a character who experiences them, having these ourselves, and we never see any characters in medias or roleplay communities with them, but it is also realistic to how the Starwake System grew up and was initially raised that significantly impacted their adaptive and Intellectual functionings.

They were constantly going between foster homes with rare to no opportunities to learn and explore around them, and in certain abusive foster families, they were even discouraged to do and ask things that could help them understand the world more. As a result, the system as a whole were slow learners while they had challenges in processing and understanding the information that they're given. They struggled a lot in social settings such as school with their poor academic and communication skills.

Micah is still downhearted that their intellectual and learning disabilities, along with their amnesia, prevents them from accomplishing their first dream of working in the astronomy field and getting to be an astronaut like their father, or even at least work with aeronautics. These areas are too advanced for them to understand most aspects of them in depth, as they most struggle in subjects of general sciences and especially mathematics, having a lot of difficulties with number-based information.

As well as at times, Micah experiences self-hatred and suicidal thoughts from having them. There is a sense of worthlessness and helplessness that they often feel while they think having these disabilities holds them back from getting so many opportunities and knowledges. Despite the anxiety and uncertainty by being slow at learning and understand, however, Micah does always try their best to be curious and adventurous. This builds into their continuous high desire to learn it all.

With the Starwake System having those disabilities, it is one of the details that makes it easy for people, speaking as some characters and people in the audience, to diminish Micah while downgrading their overall skills and perceptions. But what some forget is Micah is highly observant and analytic. They notice and know details that many people do not, and with various experiences that they gained across many life domains, they're often quick to make valuable notes and comprehensive analysis.

Micah doesn't like when people think that they gain more advantages simply because of their disabilities ( or any other traits and conditions that one may seem weak ). It's pitiful to them, and they won't be callous or confrontative about it if they see they are being seen lowly or taken benefits from, but Micah won't hesitate to give them a reminder of what they're more than capable of doing and handling. At the least they would see themself deserving to have a spark of pride after giving another a surprise that the other could never expect of receiving from them.

I just think that in Aleksander’s eyes, Alina is fucking stupid

#Obviously she’s not cause she’s human and humans make mistakes and have flaws and she’s not immortal or hadn’t lived long enough like he has #I think he also believes that a lot of people are idiots compared to him #What I mean is that he has super high standards that few people can reach and he gets disappointed. Like imagine coming back and finding #Out the fabled sun summoner is just straight up gone and then finding out she ran on her own or that she burned maps cause she didn’t want #To leave her friend and it got her whole team killed accidentally. Or that she deliberately hid her power cause #she didn’t want to split up with her only friend #he wouldn’t like it cause why is she letting her personal feelings impact her decisions he doesn’t do that #even tho it’s pretty common for ppl to do that sometimes #Anyway this is me waving a flag and saying “dear god let him feel other things for Alina besides love” by which one of them is jealousy #Imagine working YEARS trying to achieve your goal and being labeled a heretic for it then you find a newbie who has the fabled sun powers #Which is great for you but she just showed up and everyone is already labeling her a saint simply for this. #She’s hailed as a saint in the hopes of destroying something that YOU created. One of your first interactions #Is her saying she doesn’t want the fabled powers that will hail her as a hero. You’re still labeled a heretic but no one knows that #He’ll still pester her cause he hates being alone more than anything. #The quote “she makes me more human” doesn’t necessarily mean only love as love isn’t the only human emotion there is #shadow and bone #aleksander morozova

Hnnnnngh anxious but hopeful!

A recruiter reached out to my partner about a local job opportunity, but he's fine where he is so he directed them to me - and they'd actually already looked into me / tried to reach me (through my... old website oops) and I never got that message.

Anyway, talked to the recruiter, updated my resume, sent that, plus a bunch of writing samples because the job is Content Director (fancy) and I just

Aaaaa I don't even really want to continue working in an agency setting it Sucks a little BUT my current job is. Sucking my soul out of me. I've got so little left to give. And I just need to have something New. So I'm really... really hoping this works out. And is a good fit and a good place and I'm less stressed and burnt out and depressed and uninspired lol

#dont rb #im just. tired. but the work keeps piling on #because im Essential but not treated like it except by a few people #the other week someone spelled my name wrong and it was salt in the wound #a small thing. a common mistake. but ive been here for almost two years and we use Slack and Gmail. my name is everywhere

You know, seeing this, I will never understand why people think he has a different car, or a shittier set up or that he lost his magic. He's still the great driver he is and has the same spec car as Lando or he wouldn't be matching his race pace.

Quali: P18, P12, P7, P6, P6, P14, P9

Has he had shitty quali sessions and horrible luck with a few moments during a race (saudi, imola) that then pretty much meant getting stuck to the back of the grid or in a drs train and not being able to progress? Yes. But everywhere other than Spain he literally matched Lando, starting further down usually than his team mate did.

So when are we stopping the agenda of a different car and horrible tactics from the team just to sabotage him? We all know Quali isn't one of his strength, it has never been. But he's a mega driver who will find great pace and lines during a race. And without good tactics (even tho yes, sometimes they go wrong, like they go wrong for everyone) he wouldn't be then up where his team mate is but would rather be stuck where he started.

#i for once wanna enjoy a fucking race weekend without everyone being toxic towards one group #i fucking love dan and i can thank him for so many great things #but the fact you guys throw common fucking sense out the window the second something happens (without knowing the full context) #is literally ruining the weekends for sooo many people in his own fandom #could we just maybe MAYBE wait 10 minutes before jumping at anyone's throat to see the full picture? #and i also really wanna see the same energy tom gets for mistakes towards all the other engineers when they fuck up #oh i'm sorry #forgot if the tv doesn't show it then it didn't happen #where was this energy when bono left lewis alone for quite a few laps #and lewis had to literally wake himup to finally give him info #daniel ricciardo #f1 #formula 1

thinking abt how thundersong thought it waz her fault 4 yearz tht 2 of her kitz died. bcuz she continued to be active deep into her pregnancy. only 2 find out tht her kitz were not only murdered but the single survivor had been being continuously poisioned by the same killer from birth. & hey wht do u kno thtz the same cat who subtly implied their deathz were caused by her planting the seed of guilt tht had prevented her from recovering or trying 4 another litter

#textz #usually kitz wouldnt evn be nammed 4 a few moonz bcuz death is so common but thy just seemed so strong #itz seen as a common first time queen mistake but rly thy would hav been perfectly healthy were it not 4 the pettyness of yewheart #who poisoned her litter almost entirely bcuz she brushed off his order to stay put during her pregnancy #really it waz a complete acidental tht beartkit survived

I really wanna know what the other Quarter Quell twists would’ve been.

#Seen a few theories and imo a common mistake people do is make it a twist about the arena when the QQ twist is about the REAPINGS people!!! #like I know the tributes must be brother and sister pairs is a popular one and so is only 12 year olds will be reaped

read horrorstör in 4 hours it wasn’t particularly scary but it was still interesting and the panopticon appearance made me think of the magnus archives haha

i did like the images featured and the way it was designed (i read it as an ebook and i suspect a physical copy would be cooler but it was still neat), and i could feel the way it was set up like a liminal space and the horror it was meant to invoke but it personally didn’t connect with me to spook me or make me feel horror (except about capitalism. but. you know. what’s new). i feel like it has potential to be redone as a good horror movie though tbh, if done right you could really nail the feeling of liminality and horror quite well. but overall not a bad read, just no particular strong feelings for it

#liminality and liminal have red lines under them #swear to god these are common words i'm spelling right #but maybe i'm just missing a clear mistake idk sfkjshdfkjshdk #horrorstor #horrorstör #it doesn't take very much for a movie to spook me. i have much higher expectations of books to get scared #but at the same time....books definitely can have the same fear effect on me. i KNOW. i've been scared shitless numerous times bc of books #and i still tend to get scared easily with books. but i guess i just have higher expectations for the writing #anyway! #kept me busy tonight! #gave me something to do! #hm what should i read next #i have a whole list to get through #i'm just seeing what my library offers through ebook atm #reading those #this was short and sweet #only 270 pages (on my ebook at least) so easy enough to read in a few hours. especially with the pictures

Anyway while we're on the subject of public misconception towards living things (which is completely understandable because have you SEEN living things? There's like dozens of them!) here's a fresh rundown of some common mistakes about bugs!

Arachnids aren't just spiders! They're also scorpions, mites, ticks and some real weirdos out there

Insects with wings are always finished growing! Wings are the last new thing they ever develop! There can never be a "baby bee" that's just a smaller bee flying around.

That said, not all insects have larvae! Many older insect groups do look like little versions of adults....but the wings rule still applies.

Insects do have brains! Lobes and everything!

Only the Hymenoptera (bees, ants and wasps) have stingers like that.

Not all bees and wasps live in colonies with queens

The only non-hymenoptera with queens are termites, which is convergent evolution, because termites are a type of cockroach!

There are still other insects with colonial lifestyles to various degrees which can include special reproductive castes, just not the whole "queen" setup.

Even ants still deviate from that; there are multi-queen ant species, some species where the whole colony is just females who clone themselves and other outliers

There is no "hive mind;" social insects coordinate no differently from schools of fish, flocks of birds, or for that matter crowds of humans! They're just following the same signals together and communicating to each other!

Not all mosquito species carry disease, and not all of them bite people

Mosquitoes ARE ecologically very important and nobody in science ever actually said otherwise

The bite of a black widow is so rarely deadly that the United States doesn't bother stocking antivenin despite hundreds of reported bites per year. It just feels really really bad and they give you painkillers.

Recluse venom does damage skin, but only in the tiny area surrounding the bite. More serious cases are due to this dead skin inviting bacterial infection, and in fact our hospitals don't carry recluse antivenin either; they just prescribe powerful antibiotics, which has been fully effective at treating confirmed bites.

Bed bugs are real actual specific insects

"Cooties" basically are, too; it's old slang for lice

Crane flies aren't "mosquito hawks;" they actually don't eat at all!

Hobo spiders aren't really found to have a dangerous bite, leaving only widows and recluses as North America's "medically significant" spiders

Domestic honeybees actually kill far more people than hornets, including everywhere the giant "murder" hornet naturally occurs.

Wasps are only "less efficient" pollinators in that less pollen sticks to them per wasp. They are still absolutely critical pollinators and many flowers are pollinated by wasps exclusively.

Flies are also as important or more important to pollination than bees.

For "per insect" pollination efficiency it's now believed that moths also beat bees

Honeybees are non-native to most of the world and not great for the local ecosystem, they're just essential to us and our food industry

Getting a botfly is unpleasant and can become painful, but they aren't actually dangerous and they don't eat your flesh; they essentially push the flesh out of the way to create a chamber and they feed on fluids your immune system keeps making in response to the intrusion. They also keep this chamber free of bacterial infection because that would harm them too!

Botflies also exist in most parts of the world, but only one species specializes partially in humans (and primates in general, but can make do with a few other hosts)

"Kissing bugs" are a group of a couple unusual species of assassin bug. Only the kissing bugs evolved to feed on blood; other assassin bugs just eat other insects.

@ ALL RISE FANS THAT MAKE COMICS & STORIES

So I’ve noticed that in this fandom it’s common to include Deaf/ASL-using-characters into stories, which is honestly AMAZING and makes me SO HAPPY TO SEE, but many of us aren’t deaf we rely on resources, therefore:

My ASL teacher gave us this website cause it’s updates constantly (ASL evolves lots) and it’s a lot more accurate and reliable than just google :))

To work it- type the word, and a word bank will pull up, click on the term u want and a video/description of the sign and word will appear!!!

It’s rlly simple and has most words and if it doesn’t it’s bc it’s finger spelled probs!!!!

If u want more in-depth good grammar, search up “five parameters ASL”, “glossing in ASL” and watch a few videos to see “how sentence structure differs in ASL”

As always, remember it’s ok to make mistakes/notice a mistake, just be mindful and kind :D most of us aren’t out for malice and if someone is it’ll probs be very obv 😭

Happy Creating!!

Edit: A THANK U SO MUCH FOR THE REBLOGS :)) if anyone ever needs any help drop a comment or look at other reblogs!! There’s lot of other resources/tips there!!!
