#it’s really the wild wild west

Resisting the urge to be like put all your expectations aside 😭

#jaded #expectations killed my spirit #and that was for a canon ship #I can’t have any expectations for a will they won’t they #that half the ppl think we’re delusional and the other half are all in on #I can’t live through another show disappointing me with romance #iykyk #your show will get cancelled #your show will be short lived #your lead actress will get the short end of the stick of the storyline #showrunners will sabotage shit just so fans won’t know what to expect #got I’m looking at you #it’s really the wild wild west #and my heart is way too sensitive to start wishing and hoping again #shipping

dichotomous plants are so weird man. like they’re not even weird it’s the becoming the dichotomous that’s weird. i went to a talk once about a population of strawberries that were accidentally slowly becoming dichotomous and they didn’t even have sex chromosomes, like they had like a bunch of genes across a bunch of chromosomes that did a little bit of sex but not a lot and it added up to one whole sex kind of but not enough that they had all collectively decided to be one sex or the other, so there was still like, a sizable chunk of the population that was producing flowers of both sexes. like they were microdosing it. taking the sex genes for a spin in the strawberry patch

#the conclusion of the talk was like #what if plants are slowly become more dichotomous over time because it’s more advantageous? #and I was like. that would be interesting but I feel like they would have done it already if it was that good #sex genes are really only as good as the creature or life form you are I think #making the sex genes work for YOU #and for those wild strawberries in the American west. they were just being silly about it you know #and my assumption that having dedicated sex chromosomes that hold the majority but not all sex-related info. turns out that’s kinda weird

Almost forgot to look at the tags in that Giordano post, I'm glad that Cardinals being higher than Archbishops was something you mentioned, and that I was remem that fact correctly :). And I love that Machete surpasses someone who thought him to be a "good for nothing". Go white boy go!

.

#that sure pissed off that old man Giordano #didn't see that one coming #becoming a bishop is a very big deal #archbishop is an extra prestigious bishop that leads a particularly important diocese #and above both are cardinals #you usually have to be a bishop first to become one but it hasn't always been strictly mandatory there's lots of rules and exceptions #I think Machete is a bishop but largely in name only #in practice he kind of shortcutted from being a priest to a cardinal with very little bishophood in between #Vatican was kind of a wild west back then and in the end it's within Pope's power to grant these titles however he sees fit #and Machete was Pope's trusted personal assistant for years #moreover if you compare church ranks to secular royalty/nobility cardinals are equal to princes #so when you look at the power dynamics they're only second to pope as well as actual kings and queens #at least that's the case in Machete and Vasco's times I'm not sure about the present day #Vasco is a count so he's actually significantly lower in the hierarchy despite being blue-blooded #but neither of them have really internalized that #when they met Vasco came from a rich family and Machete was a no-name social climber #answered #anonymous

hello um. explodes into a million pieces

[id: two digital art pieces of characters from horizon: forbidden west. the first image has three different drawings featuring aloy, seyka, and beta. aloy is in the oseram artificer outfit with leather armor, bracers, and a leather crop top vest with red cloth; beta is in the nora huntress outfit, with a leather tunic and a light blue bandana around her neck; and seyka is in her usual outfit with a white-and-gray fabric armor and a pink-and-gray scarf. the backgrounds in these pieces are a textured light pink.

the first drawing is an upper body shot of aloy and beta, who are side-by-side, each with an arm slung over the other's shoulder, the sides of their heads touching. aloy has her other hand on her hip and is smiling at beta, though she also looks slightly concerned. beta is ducking her head slightly, her other arm curled into herself as she also smiles, albeit a little anxiously.

the second drawing is of aloy and seyka. aloy is sitting down, her legs outstretched while seyka is laying back against her chest. seyka has an interface open in front of her that she's curiously navigating through, her tongue sticking out. aloy is peering down at her and smiling. they're both slightly blushing.

the final drawing is an upper body shot of aloy and seyka. seyka is grabbing aloy by the shoulders and frantically shaking her, gasping in amazement, her eyes sparkling. aloy looks pretty startled but otherwise isn't fighting against it.

the second image is of a sunwing, a pterosaur-like robot. she is standing, lifting one wing to preen at it. she is simply colored a slightly darker shade than the background. the text reads, "Sunny the Sunwing <3" end id]

#horizon forbidden west #horizon burning shores #aloy #seyka #beta #seyloy #monotoneart #ft. my favorite FW outfit. oseram artificer my absolute beloved #GODDD i loved burning shores so fuggin much. the horus fight made my brain go ASFSJHGKDSFJSKDJKJSD #like yeah i've seen the first teaser i knew the horus was gonna move but. man. just. i was SHOOK and SCARED #and also as someone who is just. extremely. uninterested in romance: i love aloy and seyka very much <3 #i DID get spoiled that they get together but i enjoyed their dynamic so much #and their gay panic was fuggin hilarious #i really really hope we see more of seyka in h3 #sliding guerilla games 5 bucks to let us bring our companions while adventuring the wilds #also also. rip sunny the sunwing. explodeded by that one malfunctioning apex stormbird :( #and so sorry to my second sunwing that i got just a smidge too close to the tower with. #shakes fist at that one dreadwing

No but why is Karen and Wally bonding over being the only not rich kids on the team everything—

It's literally giving me life. The Titans, Teen or otherwise, have a serious lack of grounded characters (and not in a 'no powers = grounded' way).

Wally has always been that character. He's always been the everyday, average normal guy living among billionaires royalty and demigods. (Which is wild because he should not be that normal with his power set and abilities)

Karen and Mal were also grounded characters in the og Teen Titans (which, again, was really needed cause Dick did shit like handing strangers thousands of dollars to keep quiet about his friend's antics and Roy went off and did shit like buying a bar on a whim at 16 and Donna and Garth had no concept of money or consequences) but unfortunately the series never really explored that aspect of their characters.

But now??? Now when Roy complains that Wally doesn't have a helipad at his house Wally doesn't have to 'Jim the camera'. Wally has a whole ass person to text this shit to!!! Karen can Snapchat Wally about how Donna thinks healthcare comes from purple laser beams and has zero concept of insurance. They aren't alone!!!

And honestly I love it so much.

#Vic is also super grounded #like Vics dad is upper middle class but at least he's still middle class #but unfortunately Vic and Wally never really got to bond over that??? insanity #kori raven donna and garth are all royalty #gar is an actor #roy dick and lilith are the kids of billionaires #and then theres just karen wally mal and vic #just super fucking normal #but for some reason there's only ever one of them on the team at a time??? like there's a quota on normal people or something #wild #anyway #dc #dc comics #the flash #kid flash #wally west #karen beecher #bumblebee #teen titans #Titans #world's finest teen titans #actually you know what #i take it back #vic and wally did actually bond about this #just not in the titans series (which is why i didn't think about it). the bonded about it in the flash series #they actually were really good friends. so. i guess wally does have friends who understand how much a banana costs at the store

idk if this will make sense to anyone or reach the target audience but wally west’s parents are what the fandom thinks tim drake’s parents are

#wally west #tim drake #not a jack drake fan but the way some of you guys talk about him is wild #and janet drake is barely even in canon as it is #plus tim has a really cool stepmom who he likes a lot!!! justice for my girl dana!!!

RAWR!!

#art #furry #furry art #sfw furry #anthro #digital art #procreate #shes like a cat??and a dog?? #she’s supposed to have a friend but i accidentally made him an evil demon cowboy which... well they’re still friends of course #they're penpals since he lives in the EVIL wild west and she lives in ambiguous overpopulated city #they both probably don’t really know eachother as well as they think they do but if they met up irl they’d still get along #she was made from the will to draw a cute anthro w/ the raccoon hair stripes….

Starting Journey to the West assuming its the story about a silly goofy monkey going on monster-of-the-week adventures with his friends:

Reading about Sun "was-definitely-a-warlord" Wukong smashing the upteenth person's head into a meat patty but a few chapters in:

#come for the silliness stay for the gore lol #journey to the west #jttw #xiyouji #sun wukong #monkey king #asdfaaew SO OBVIOUSLY this is a very rich text with a LOT going on #hence why any footnotes provided are critical for understanding a lot of the cultural historical and even environmental context #but coming at it from a western perspective #it IS kind of wild just how much the silly goofy side of swk's character has come to dominate understandings about this monkey #whereas you really don't see many western representations that emphasize the cunning & ruthless & ultraviolent aspects #anyway I'm not surprised that there's numerous people who've been left shocked at just how violent og classic JTTW is #looking at the story from popular retellings gives you a VERY different impression of what the og is like

When the vast majority of people meet Aloy, they either see her prowess or have heard of her before. Erend meets her at the Proving. Varl meets her after she survives her wounds. Sylens hears through HADES. Talanah sponsors her as a hunter. Zo meets her after Varl talks about her. Kotallo fights with her against rebels. Alva sees her kill a bunch of soldiers. Beta watches her get away from the Zeniths.

To most people, she is something beyond Aloy. Annoited, Savior, Champion, Ancestor, Elisabet. Their first impressions are ideas of greatness.

But Seyka? The first thing she sees Aloy do is tumble out of the sky. It's cool that she's riding a machine and all, but come on. That was not a graceful glide down. Aloy rolls her ass out of the sky and falls face first into a bunch of sand. And then proceeds to be the worst at flirting throughout the main questline.

This is a long way of saying that I love Seyloy so damn much

#this is such accurate lesbian representation #it's both wholesome and hilarious to me #and it's also the reason i will only accept seyloy #cause to seyka aloy was a person first #to everyone else she was something so much more before they really got to know her #horizon #horizon forbidden west #horizon burning shores #horizon zero dawn #horizon frozen wilds #hfw #hzd #aloy #seyka #erend vanguardsman #varl #zo #hfw zo #alva #hfw alva #kotallo #sylens #talanah khane padish #beta #hfw beta #pride month #lgbtqia #lesbians #corner conversations
