someone else definitely already talked about this at length but do you think there might be some connection between the Pale and Plasm. The Pale apparently came with humanity and is speculated (at least by dialectical materialists) that it might be a consequence of human thought, while Plasm is the infra-materialist belief that communist sentiment, if felt strongly enough, can manifest itself as this sort of invisible energy that can hold things together....what does it mean what does it all mean

#disco elysium #tagging just in case someone normal comes across this post and thinks I've gone nuts #I have no further thoughts on this I just like thinking about the pale it's such a neat concept #my post #my kingdom to be able to just go nuts and write speculative fic about a group of scientist studying the pale #I would need an extra brain and 24 more hours in a day. whos going to crowdfund me

concept

ok so time travel au

but like more then one person who have completely unrelated reasons for being in the past

For example

Draco goes back while trying to fix the cabinet in a freak accident and so gets sent back into his younger body

while Percy plans and plans and does it on purpose after the war in an attempt to save Fred specifically

so now both are just very confused about why the other is the only one not acting how they're expecting them too

like that conversation in the hallway in Draco's second year changes entirely and both are left going ????? about it because most other interactions happen more or less how their expecting with the caveat that they haven't changed anything about it so now their both going what the hell did I do??

#percy weasley #draco malfoy #honestly just this concept in general sounds fun I just thought of Draco because I've seen the cabinet used for that purpose before #and it would make both characters coming from a different time frame too which would be neat #another fun one would be another Weasley for obvious reasons #like its just how long would it take to figure it out #its sounds very silly

[lets-try-some-writing]

one of the more random asks but I was thinking what your thoughts on flier oppy would be? like him being a triple changer (is that the term???) or smth

Triple changer? Sure why not. Not sure if you want a story or just some thoughts, so I will give you a random story idea since that seems more in line with your request.

Triple Changer Prime

Orion Pax was not a triple changer, he was solidly a grounder by any and all definitions. He was raised with wheels and did not have an interest in the skies beyond avoiding the seekers and other flight frames that found it to be great fun to dive and poke fun at land locked mecha.

But then the Matrix decided in its infinite wisdom that the mech who had never once taken to the skies needed to have wings. Thus during his ascension to become a Prime, Optimus was forged with a lovely set of wings to go with his wheels. That change ended about as well as one might have expected it to. Simply put, Optimus had no fragging clue what he was doing.

Flight was not something he took to handling with the ease and grace of the ancients. No, his first attempts were messy and reminiscent of a newspark. He had no teachers amongst the Autobots in no small part due to almost every flier having joined the Decepticons. This mean that he was nearly entirely on his own, leading to... interesting attempts to fly. Once he figured out how to transform he quickly found himself shooting off into the skies with force greater than expected. He will never admit it aloud, but he did in fact scream as he failed to find a way to control his flight path. He ended up transforming halfway and tumbling toward the ground trying desperately to slow his fall through the use of his wings and thrusters.

He crashed in spectacular fashion and needed to get several reconstructive repairs done to put everything back where it belonged. After that incident it became abundantly clear that Optimus needed to get an actual flier to teach him or stop flying altogether, a possibility that was largely out of the question for numerous reasons not limited to just the war effort. Optimus's very code demanded he fly at least once a stellar cycle, and thus he did his best to fumble his way through learning.

Without a proper teacher, he was limited in his learning options, and thus he spent a great deal of time watching vehicons and seekers fly and transform. He observed quietly and did his best to mimic them, but quite possibly due to his size, he never quite figured out how to do it properly. He could get into the air easily enough and flying as an armed combat aircraft was not too different from driving if there was nothing in his way. But of course the moment obstacles became an issue Optimus found himself losing control and hastily trying to transform and use his blades to catch himself on something and slow down that way. More than once he had to be retrieved from the top of some skyscraper that he landed on in an attempt to avoid falling to his death.

Optimus panicking and throwing himself into the skies after Megatron a handful of times certainly didn't help. He was not at all proficient in flying, much like fighting while in the air. Most of his close brushes with death came from those incidents. His lack of flight ability couldn't be fixed by the Matrix whose wielders had all but been entirely grounders. It got bad enough that in the end Jazz threw in the towel and went to get Optimus a teacher by the only means he knew. The entirety of Optimus's inner circle very nearly choked on their energon when Jazz turned up to a meeting with a Vehicon bound and dragging along behind him.

Jazz: I got you a teacher!

Ultra Magnus: JAZZ! We do NOT take Decepticons into base-!

Jazz: What? Its just one Vehicon! Besides Op needs someone competent to show him out to use those wings of his.

Prowl: It's still a Vehicon!

Jazz: So what? The little dude will be stuck with Op all cycle long. What's he gonna do? Stab the Prime with his itty bitty claws? I think Prime is strong enough to stop a clone from killing him.

Jazz: Besides, Op has almost died more because of being unable to fly than because of anything else. I think this is a risk worth takin.

Optimus: ... As much as I am loathe to admit it, I do require a teacher. If this Vehicon will suffice, then so be it.

It was not exactly the most friendly of meetings, and Optimus's new teacher was not pleased with his situation much. It was... tense to say the least. For a long while the Vehicon said nothing and gave no wisdom whatsoever. But as with almost all things, Optimus took his time and steadily managed to befriend his new 'teacher'.

While his inner circle were impatient for him to learn, Optimus was in no rush. He took his sweet time slowly getting used to his new teacher, even going so far as to urge the Vehicon to take on a designation as they spoke. Often it was nothing too big, but he would bring his teacher some energon, speak with him on almost every matter that he thought might intrigue the Vehicon, and was not at all opposed to asking for his opinion. With time his captured mentor opened up to him slowly upon finding himself treated like an actual Cybertronian instead of an expendable resource.

In response to his kindness, Optimus found himself receiving simple direction from the Vehicon. When he attempted to practice on his own, his 'teacher' gently offered advice on how to take off that was never repeated but always appreciated. Then he would sometimes find the Vehicon waiting with an energon cube after an attempted flight. Other times his teacher would even join him in the skies, gently nudging him along and easing Optimus's fears through dutiful direction. With time the Vehicon even started to teach Optimus how to work with his newfound codes rather than fight against then, even going so far as to teach the Prime songs to help him focus.

It was a slow development, but the Vehicon proved unwilling to kill Optimus and thus ended up losing the shock collar on his neck. His Decepticon insignia was scrubbed and his bindings removed and was allowed to roam as he pleased so long as he came when Optimus called. This was generally allowed to be since none wanted to touch what Optimus had interest in. The Vehicon took great joy in abusing his powers as the Prime's favored companion. Often he would strut around like he owned the place and make a show of not having to go off to fight. He was hated by most of the Autobots, but around Optimus he was perfectly reasonable and taught the Prime kindly.

Jazz grew to regret his decision to bring the former Decepticon back deeply when the Vehicon in question took Jazz's spot on Optimus's desk. There was not a fragging thing he could do about it and both Jazz and the Vehicon knew it. By the time Optimus was capable of flight and fighting while doing so, the Vehicon was no longer needed. But by that point he and Optimus were close enough that there was no getting rid of the former Decepticon, especially after he took to the skies to aid Optimus in a battle when he saw it getting dire. The Vehicon could have left during that battle, but he did not, and thus earned the begrudging acceptance of most of the Autobot troops.

Optimus learned to fly, and in return one Vehicon was forced to be amongst Autobots and isn't even upset about it. When Optimus left for Earth, the Vehicon even decided to come along. Thus out of a team of elite Autobots, one singular Vehicon hung around happily and never raised a digit for anyone except for Optimus.

i feel like an incredible hater for this but i feel as i get older the more my tolerance for shipping decreases. like i went from an avid enjoyer to just tolerating ship art to now getting outright upset and fighting the urge to curse every time i see shipping content (this doesnt apply to my mutuals and friends who ship things because they can do no wrong ever)

#idk why it boils my blood like that. like genuinely it makes my online enjoyment really take a steep nosedive since 99.9% of any fandom- #content is shipping #maybe its the hater in me. maybe its the aroace tendencies in me. maybe im just antisocial and disagreeable. idk! #like shipping isnt morally bad or anything it just makes me so sad. idk #like ppl always prioritize romance over friendship and make fun of friendships as if they arent gay enough or smth and it rlly hurts me. id #like idk how to say it. everyone can have fun and stuff but it rlly makes me feel like im having fun wrong bc shipping looks fun but i cant #stomach it. like i miss having fun like that but i cant stand it anymore #like friendships r so devalued and even in frienship is magic type media friendships STILL take a backseat like whats up with that #like i hope this isnt coming across like a “i hate romance! i hate love!” kind of post but more so a why dont ppl focus on characters if - #they cant be romantically involved? #like i will alwaayyss be bitter abt willow from toh getting sidelined until she could be shipped with hunter like that pissed me off so bad #but like ur fave characters cant stand alone they neeeed to be romantically involved with someone for their love or dedication to be real #like love and dedication cant be genuine unless theyre romantically or sexually attracted? idk man #talking abt this is tricky bc u can fall into anti-sex/conservative rhetoric with this but i hope u can understand what im saying #like sex is great and romantic love is great but i wish the greater public would just have some freedom to explore concepts of dedication- #and trust that go beyond that framework. like there was a comment on reddit that framed aroace as the nonbinary of relationships and I- #thought that was really neat. yeah

I keep thinking about how in The Lost Boys, they had to use glitter in the blood. And how it gets all over the Frogs and Sam...and you can see the glitter on them when they go to the car. So it got me thinking, how could their blood be "Glittery"? there's this cool phenomenon where fossils "Opalize" meaning they turn into opal and are so so pretty. I'm sure bones do it too!! So basically, the boys are old, they're vampires, so they are technically a corps sure.. So i think it could be very possible for their bodies to do something, something odd but beautiful and interesting. The blood and stuff in them is odd so if you stab them, and get their bones while our at it, no reason they wouldn't have "Glitter" which is opal bones. Vampires so old, or having things in their system or something that some or all of their bones become opalized. I think it would be neat! And also absolutely fascinating, because a vampire could break something and their bone stick out, but it's this beautiful opal-like bone, and they pop it back in and go on about life. Ora hunter who's very twisted takes a head of a vampire and keeps the skull, and its this beautiful opal skull that gets people to go, "Oh that's beautiful! Where'd you get it?" and it's the head of some poor soul...

I have a lot of thoughts about vampires having opal bones.

#it's such a neat concept and it's the only way i can explain to myself WHY there's glitter in marko #like it just makes the most sence... #it's so cool to me #liek you chip a bone in them and harm them the 'glitter' will get on you but its bone fragments or dust or soemthing. #the lost boys #the lost boys headcanon #??? does this count?? #who knows.. #the lost boys marko #he started this thought #glitter blood boy

As I talked about in this post, I think Wish's plot would have been more emotionally engaging and complete with the inclusion of the star as a shapeshifter boyo, and Asha becoming a star like him to remain with him. SO here's her design!

I wanted a natural hairstyle rather than her braids to try and get a look like a nebula, and also because I suck at drawing braids and I didn't want to butcher them. I did my best to research Amazigh dress and went for a design I found pretty, though I'm not sure how accurate it actually is. The reference I found had tassels, and I thought to replace them with little star-shaped ornamentation. Maybe they're still tassels and just funky, idk.

The notes in the piece, transcribed:

Based on blue stars, rather than yellow stars like the OG star

Her freckles glow

Her brown eyes have an added golden gradient, and possibly glow in the dark?

Genesius/Starboy, for comparison:

#disney wish #wish 2023 #wish genesius #I got hate for this for making her “not a poc anymore” #i was. actually trying really hard to avoid that exact outcome #I sampled a number of colors with varying lighting levels from a screenshot of Asha and then blended them carefully #using screenshots and concept art for reference #I tried to keep her skin tone accurate and honor the culture she's supposed to be from in my design #They also said she'd be “giving up her life for a man” she'd be gaining incredible power it's not like she'd be getting the short straw #She'd be able to help grant all sorts of wishes to the people she loves #Which is what she wants- to help people find ways to acheive their innermost dreams #I mean when I decided to draw this I genuinely just thought she'd look neat with glowing hair why is it suddenly a hate crime #i'm so tired

heya boss, i know your whole bit is dadson, but what are your thoughts on a older brother who had to step up and raise their younger brothers?

aww well hey, that's almost dadhood anyway. except usually with a less drastic age gap, not having to experience the trauma of birth, a sense of competition, responsibility and resentment over the parentification and a lost childhood. and some sort of mutual guilt that comes with having useless parents and an unusual family structure.

lots of emotional tension and grief, but also a sense of understanding, like you just Get each other like no one else. like if no other relationship works out, if nobody else understands, you might end up experimenting with each other, because whatever, you were doomed from the start because your parents failed both of you... romantic!! incestuous comfort sex.

#I'm trying to be both vague and very specific bc I don't have ANY characters in mind but I do want specific concepts in there #specific concepts and dynamics for hypothetical nonexistent characters #I like dadson alot more but all other shipcest is great fun too #also haha 👉👈 boss... thanks. I'm ceo of dadson now #shipcest #brocon #I think they're neat #those are my thoughts #idk if this is anything #I just enjoy the baggage and angst of it all

i mentioned in the oc q&a that sting does contracted work for a former gun researcher by the name of taz nocturn. let's get into that!

pictured from left to right: dr. nocturn (she/her), vi the caracal (they/them), and sting himself

to explain why sting's working for taz, i need to explain a bit of what's going on with her. long story short, taz left gun to pursue what started as a pet project. she's been experimenting with chaos energy, studying how it interacts with the organic and inorganic, all with an ulterior motive in mind. her research is completely secret. so secret, in fact, that her lab is an abandoned subway system that had been repurposed to suit her needs

vi is taz's assistant. with taz's permission, vi hired sting, having learned about him via a newspaper ad (where he was promoting his services, he was a little desperate for cash). taz and her scientists don't usually leave the subway, and vi can only travel so far...sting is the one they rely on to get them new equipment, new material, new intel. sting is also the person they contact to help them, uh, find participants for their experiments

sting does not know what it is they're testing for nor do the scientists want him to know, can't let anyone on the outside know what it is they're researching. he gets paid well enough to not question it, but he can't help but get a little curious...

in terms of interactions, almost all work-related meetings are with vi. sting has only spoken to taz...maybe about 2 times? 3? taz doesn't really leave her research. she appreciates that sting isn't one for small talk, and he appreciates that she gets right to the point

during the events of my fanstory, a certain blue hedgehog and two-tailed fox start snooping a bit too close to the lab, assuming that eggman is up to something (fair assumption). not wanting to risk discovery, vi called upon sting to go deal with them

if this interests you, please consider voting for sting! 🦂 vote for him here 🦂

tbh I'm not a huge fan of people depicting cabinet man as a ghost haunting the machine. There's so much good body horror potential with him, but I've seen so many versions of him where he's just a ghost.

"Why does autism seem more common in males?

Being female does appear to protect the brain from many developmental disabilities, not just autism. There is emerging evidence that girls with autism need more extreme genetic mutations than boys to develop autism.

However, there is a growing body of work that indicates that autism just presents differently in girls and therefore often goes unrecognised, especially in verbally fluent girls with normal intelligence. Girls with autism also appear to be better at ‘camouflaging’ their symptoms in order to fit in.

With the diagnostic criteria for ASD based largely in how autism presents in males, girls can often ‘slip under the radar’ or get misdiagnosed. Girls with ASD seem to have less restricted and repetitive behaviours than boys, but it’s also possible that some of these behaviours go unrecognised — for example, an obsessive interest in collecting dolls may be misinterpreted as pretend play.

What does autism look like in girls?

Although every child with autism is different, here are some common characteristics in girls with autism:

A special interest in animals, music, art, and literature

A strong imagination (might escape into the worlds of nature or fiction)

A desire to arrange and organise objects

Not wanting to play cooperatively with female peers (for example, wanting to dictate the rules of play or preferring to play alone to maintain control)

A tendency to ‘mimic’ others in social situations in order to blend in

An ability to hold their emotions in check at school, but be prone to meltdowns or explosive behaviour at home

Strong sensory sensitivities, especially to sounds and touch (for example; clothing tags, socks or even deodorant).

For autistic girls to thrive, it’s important they have access to a timely and accurate diagnosis, and the informed supports that come with it. A delayed or missed diagnosis can impede their education and development, as well as their social and community participation.

While boys with autism are more likely to have outwardly challenging behaviours, (indicating underlying issues, such as anxiety) girls with autism are more vulnerable to internalising problems.

As our understanding of how autism affects females is still emerging, it is important parents and professionals alike stay updated on the best ways to specifically support girls and women on the spectrum."

[hermitcraftheadcanons]

It's a common headcanon (from what i know) that X can't breathe overworld air. Does that mean the others can't breath end air?? Would THEY need some sort of helmet? Space suit??

Personally, I've always thought of it as being like the thinner air on top of a mountain. The Void pulls the air downward in the End from its sheer gravity, so the End air is less oxygen rich. Xisuma can breathe in the Overworld, but it's a lot easier to hyperventilate and get light-headed if he isn't concentrating on breathing slowly, so he wears the helmet to be active and build without worrying about it. Meanwhile, an Overworld Hermit in the End would probably get out of breath more easily, but would acclimate to it a little bit if they spent a few days there. Still, bringing oxygen supply might be a good idea, especially for End city raiding which involves a lot of physical activity!

~ Mod Shade

#xisumavoid #hermitcraft #mod shade #there's a million different takes on end Xisuma so this is just my own obviously #I've also heard the idea of the Deep End which is an area not accessible in normal worlds #which might have more wildlife/civilization/different air #I've thought similar things about the Nether for Tango #all neat ideas! i love to see a popular concept get lots of variations

57 - A Secret Day

I... I have a present for you, my light. I hope that you like it...!

I've worked on this for so long now, and now finally it's ready... a pocket of time I've stitched together just for you! Twenty-four peaceful hours cut from the cloth of time, to do with entirely as you wish. Isn't it beautiful, my light? Go ahead - try it on!

How did I make this, you ask...? Well... I am Prince of the Dark in more than name, you know! I simply... took little bits and pieces of time that weren't being used. Minutes stolen here and there, during your most lonesome nights and your most tedious classes... a-and I wove them together into something truly special. Somewhere and somewhen you can go if you ever need to... escape, for a short while.

O-oh, but you don't have to worry about everyone up above! While you're here, no time will pass outside! It... it'll be like you never left... s-so there's no need to worry about being told off by your mom, haha! And you... can do whatever you want here. You could catch up on your schoolwork, or... or explore the dark world at your leisure! You can even just sleep, if you prefer - I know how much you like to!

As for me? Well, I'm just happy to observe you for a short while, my light. I'll be right by your side through it all, to talk or to play with... o-or anything else that t-takes your fancy...! I d-don't mind at all... this is your day, don't forget!

...it suits you perfectly, my dear. Almost like it was made just for you - very fetching, haha! I really hope that you enjoy it... and that you'll always remember this special day, this secret time just for me and you.
