day 1421

#uh just a heads up if you expand the tags to see all there's. a lot. very long #amphibian #frog #poison dart frog #based on my most popular frog to date (day 651) #inspired by everyone pointing out what they think it looks like #here's a fun secret fact the original guy is actually a phantasmal poison dart frog (Epipedobates tricolor) #(according to the original artists title of the drawing) #not Anthony's poison arrow frog (Epipedobates anthonyi) #i feel too awkward to really point it out though because they look the exact same. i cannot tell if there is a difference #im half convinced the same frog was just discovered and named twice #its very curious btw if you go on the (english) wikipedia page for either species it doesn't mention the other #while hereptiles.info (no idea if this is a trustworthy site) lists both names as common names for the same frog (incorrectly??) #while inaturalist lists them as two different frogs. curiously with tricolor having wayyyyy fewer photos #ok anyway that's my rant i went on a whole journey trying to figure out if these are the same frog or not and i have no answer #i did some more 'research' and i am more confused. some sources seem to imply they are now considered the same species ( e. tricolor) #i think my conclusion is i am willing to agree the drawing looks more like e. anthonyi. it seems like tricolor is generally less vibrant re #and the white is darker and more green? #i feel like thumblr should stop me from typing more in the tags at this point this is a whole essay #at this point i am failry convinced this is specifically the Santa Isabel frog. isthat the real subspecies or morph or whatever #or just the name pet sites are using to sell it?? #i even found some sources (frog selling websites) refering to it as “Epipedobates Anthonyi 'Santa Isabel' Phantasmal Poison Dart Frog” lol #Anyways if you read this far hi. species are confusing. i am not a frog scientist #the first few tags are like an hour old now i just kept trying to figure it out and adding more tags

Okay I've had this project open for like. Way too long now and I've hit a brick wall with it but i still would like to share what I have so here's this idea I've been mulling around about the disco skills being court jesters. I only have the psyche skills done but hopefully soon I'll have the inspiration for the others and also fully color these. Enjoy

#its been sitting on my canvas for weeks. taunting me #i know the designs are simple but i intended tl add more details when i colored and. well #disco elysium #disco elysium art #disco elysium skills #de empathy #de volition #de espirit de corps #de suggestion #de inland empire #the furies #de skills #flew too close to the sun had too many expectations for the image in my brain #i think my problem is im afraid to stray too far from the source material specifically with the coloring #if i dont only use colors found on the cards i feel like im doing smthn wrong you get me #anyways teehee #wip #kinda

Dirk: *holding a salt packet* It’s just a little sodium chloride.

Hal: Actually Dirk, it’s salt.

Dirk: That’s what I said, sodium chloride.

Hal: Uh Dirk, that would be salt.

Hal: *takes salt packer from Dirk* This is iodized table salt, which in addition to sodium chloride contains anti-caking agents and potassium iodate, which is added to prevent iodine deficiency. So not only are you being overly pretentious by insisting on using scientific terminology for everyday items, you are factually wrong. Your arrogance is your downfall, you annoying little shit.

The OP dadverse is fucking underrated. Whoever is in charge of the spin-off OP doujins needs to make the next series about them

#Pic is not mine just for the record #God i dunno why Google's reverse search can't find these anymoooore #Instead they bring out a bunch of different pictures instead of showing the source of this one #Anyways we STAN daddies who ACTUALLY care about their kids #Also i just noticed that all these dads in the pic have daughters... Oda's self insertion into the dad-verse is crazy #And yes all the dad characters (with daughters specifically) are a reflection of his relationship with his daughters #But hopefully not Uta's and Shanks' because the ending was fucking painful #I'd say the more obvious self inserts are Kuma and Kyros #Kuma #Bartholomew kuma #Kyros #nefertari cobra #Shanks #Red haired shanks #Monkey D dragon #Rebecca #nefertari vivi #Jewelry Bonney #Uta #monkey d luffy #Cuties 🥰

Hey here's an angle on the Jiang family dynamic and its impact on Wei Wuxian that I haven't seen discussed:

Wei Wuxian grew up seeing Jiang Yanli routinely having her agency cut off and denied in both large (betrothal) and small ways. That were largely tied up in her gender, sure, but this was also a family containing Yu Ziyuan. A daughter in this household had every chance of having her gender treated as of secondary importance.

She just had to earn it.

The way Jiang Yanli was hemmed in and her potential as an independent actor dismissed was at least as strongly correlated with her failure to be a powerful sword cultivator.

So Wei Wuxian's total refusal to let anyone know that he'd lost access to his cultivation and his violent reactivity against being diminished or condescended to during his Sunshot-to-death period, when before he was pretty immune to being looked down on, could have a lot to do with having been presented with this clearly labeled diagram of how your personhood gets stripped away when you are, by the standards of your society, disabled.

#hoc est meum #like jiang cheng's desire to die about it also has this #but he had some specific shame issues #and the realistic assessment that rebuilding his sect and getting revenge was now impractical #and his problem was never really feeling like his place in the world was actually going to be taken #just like he failed to deserve it #whereas wwx had his secrets to keep but even after he'd lived up to most of his obligations #during this period #and i think it's what he's so mad at himself about looking back #during the Empathy flashback #that he valued his pride and clinging to his status when it turned out #it did jack-all to help and he got everyone killed #(Present-Day wwx is not an objective source on himself lmao) #and this in turn is why in the present-time of the novel he's so willing to lean into the indignity of mo xuanyu #he now has nothing to lose and it's liberating #but during his march-toward-death era having any more of his self-respect and conceptual status stripped away was agony #because it felt like an unpersoning #and some of the disability angles around this come up in fandom sometimes but #the fact that he internalized the idea that not having this specific type of power means you lose your personal freedom looking at jyl #doesn't really #and i think she Very Much informed his relationship to #power gender disability and #marriage #mdzs #wei wuxian #jiang yanli

i've been thinking about the significance of toph's feet as the crux of her power against/alongside the practice of footbinding. considering her role situated within (an analog for) tang dynasty nobility, thinking through that cultural practice poses direct relevance regarding the overarching theme of how she transcends imposed boundaries, in terms of gender roles, class expectations, and of course along the axis of her disability. i can only gesture to these ideas because i lack the historical framework to construct a legitimate argument, but i'm wondering whether anyone more knowledgable regarding these historical contexts (@atlaculture comes to mind, but of course no pressure!) would like to extrapolate from these ideas.

#a couple weeks ago i did go down a footbinding rabbithole and started reading various sources #but i still feel like i'm not particularly qualified to make this argument #since i lack a background in how to construct arguments w/in historiographical discursive practices. just like. in general #although i suppose i can still gesture towards it by compiling sources & moments from the text #in like. a 'web weaving' way #though that might take more work than i have the bandwidth for atm lmao #i already have so many drafts and absolutely no time for postin #so i would love it if someone else could take the wheel here #should they be so inspired #again @atlaculture i rly admire your work but no pressure #and/or anyone else who feels qualified: please feel free to expand on this! #toph #i think abt poppy beifong specifically a lot actually #(sidenote: her name being poppy is quite loaded?) #she barely says a word. and yet she communicates so much...

Lord, give me strength. The PJO discourse has begun, and no one starting it has read the books in the last five years.

#guys I just reread them a month ago; I promise that you are misremembering 90% of the og series. (I did too. it’s called passage of time.) #seriously please reread them before criticizing the show or just don’t criticize it at all. #unless you’re criticizing how it stands on its own instead of how accurate it is to the books. #I mean this in the kindest most gentle way possible because you guys are ruining what could be a great experience for yourselves #I’m over here vibing; don’t y’all wanna be vibing? vibe with me #edit: I invite y’all to rewatch the movies too actually because I keep seeing people act like the movies were better than they were. #like guys…that shit was a special kind of ass. don’t pretend it’s more true to source material (especially character wise and theme wise) #just because the show isn’t what you specifically wanted it to be. #percy jackson and the olympians #pjo #percy jackson #pjo adaptation #pjo tv show #pjo tv series #percy jackson disney+ #rick riordan #percy jackson series #the lightning thief

Sometimes I miss actively participating in fandoms, but sometimes I see things that remind me how these days I find myself having a better time just keeping to myself and the small handful of people/groups I trust while still tossing some art out there publicly every so often.

#tikara art #tikara #fandoms #I'm content with watching everyone else have fun from my old lady porch while occasionally contributing #and I genuinely do enjoy when others stop by to say they like my works and/or find it inspirational! I really do ;w; #but I do wish people would learn to play nice and respect other's interpretations/opinions and especially time and personal boundaries #whether it be discussing different headcanons for specific characters or when requesting very particular things from people you don't know #please be kind to others cause we're all just people that happen to enjoy the same source material in different ways #I'm only slightly irritated cause I'm a fandom veteran in my 30s and I ain't got time for all this nonsense no more lmao

visuals i made for a real actual paper i wrote for my sociology class that my professor will be reading

[image ids: the first image is a black and white drawing of Ingo and Emmet, from some time after Ingo disappeared. They both look neutrally forwards. Ingo is bedraggled per usual in Hisui, and Emmet looks tired. To either side of them are triangles emphasizing what shape their goatee is.

The second image is a photo of a salt and pepper shaker. The Submas Sideburns are drawn on top of them.

The third image is an edit of Shrek. He gestures at Donkey, saying, "submas fandom is like onions. submas fandom has layers, onions have layers... you get it? we both have layers."

The final image is an edit of the Marge potato meme. She holds Ingo and Emmet up, saying "I just think they're neat!" End id]

#lemon yemon #subway boss ingo #subway boss emmet #submas #fucking thrilled at how this paper came out #its about subcultures :) and how could i do anything but choose the submas fandom #im so sad i couldnt include more fanart in my visuals #(all credited ofc i cite my sources) #if i had more time to do it id have *such* a long section for symbols #just bc id give a bunch of examples for every symbol i mentioned #id also 100% do an analysis on ao3 fics so i could make a super fancy graphs that charts generally how popular the fandom was #at any specific point in time #so i can know with certainty if the fandom is growing or shrinking (which is a question i had to answer in the paper) #ofc it wouldnt be perfect bc sometimes people just have more or less time to write but yk still interesting !! #also i thought of saltmas like. a week ago. whodathunk itd come in handy for my sociology class
