#not made of iron here

[mycological-mariner]

Wow I’m three chapters into H.M.S Surprise and I am already Stressed Out

#The Left Hand of Darkness traumatised me so badly when I first read it and this book is giving me flashbacks #jokingly but is it?? is it really? #the problem is is that it’s so much smaller than the prev book so I can finish it faster #I think I’ll go read Left Hand of Darkness again and cry #I’ve set it down for now but. #not made of iron here #I can’t believe this has happened #it’s so goddamn distressing #but it’s also 3am so #I’m just delaying having to finish my thesis #holy christ #and I doubt this book will let up #in other words please read The Left Hand of Darkness #it is also stressful and well written #hms surprise #aubrey maturin #aubreyad #3 chapters in and I’m catatonic

I can’t include them all so here’s a combo of ‘came to mind first,’ ‘talked about positively most often by fans,’ and ‘stuck in my head’.

Public Apology Big Iron isn’t here. There were a lot that didn’t make the cut but that one specifically I stg I put in and only realized after posting had not. It was 100% meant to be on this list and I’ve failed us.

#fallout #fallout new vegas #fallout 4 #fallout 76 #tumblr polls #I know I Don’t Want to Set the World on Fire should be here bc it was a trailer song but I don’t really like it so Heartaches by the Number #made it instead I’m sorry ✊😔 #I FORGOT BIG IRON. that’s a sincere mistake I stg it was 2 on the list SHIT #why are you people so agreassive??? it’s not a ‘best fo song’ poll it’s not even a ‘favorite fo song’ poll it’s literally just a ‘pick a #song and hit a button fun time??? stop yelling in the tags about songs that aren’t there there are 12 slots on a poll I don’t control this #make your own stupid post and get rocks thrown at /you/ for only having 12 songs. also some of you can’t read ‘why isn’t X on’ IT IS!!! some #of the ones you’re complaining about are ThERE read #I’m gonna turn off reblogs and delete this maybe Jesus Christ it’s not even a competition it’s a song blunt rotation can’t you all be friend #ly about anything?

Happy very belated birthday.. I hope you had much time celebrating by digging for tubers : )

I'M DIGGING FOR TUBERS! AND NO ONE CAN STOP ME!

#fanart #PIO!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! This is truly so so so delightful to look at. #The roundness...the delightful way you have drawn the ears and boots... #I would commit wildlife conservation crimes and pick this beast up in the wild. Consequences be damned that thing can dig for tubers. #(I have not made a tag for posts with my cowboy cat but I think I need to change that). #Now that I'm reading this whole post again I realize how much of it really sets the tone for my blog. #Does the art look funny? Yes. But I still show up to do it! #I can digging for tubers (make art and enjoy it) #Some people might be here enjoying my process ironically but I have to take myself seriously...much to think about. #I can also go admire my real tubers and give them words of affirmation while they hibernate. #Thank you for also giving me a moment to pause and reflect Pio. An incredible doubled pronged gift <3

did anyone else like. watch the gnome run finale and go "hey that was great" and then forget about it for a few months and then suddenly you remembered it and realized that this was one of the most impressive creative projects you've ever witnessed or was it just me

#wayneradiotv #wrtv #hlage #hlvrai #im joking mostly i loved that finale but it wasnt until recently that i realized that the ending had a LOT more going for it than i thought #it was easy to dismiss it as a joke because. lol funny cartoon pig says spooky thing can be taken as ironic but like. it fully isnt. #actually listening to the dialogue and putting two and two together made me feel a little insane. i felt like i was solving a puzzle #maybe it was just the timing of it all or maybe it was the previous humor of rtvs making me take it as a joke mostly #anyways i drew this a few weeks ago and the hype from the announcement made me want to clean it up a little so here u go

tall shadows line of "she was only a kittypet" kinda reminds me of the line "they were only slaves" from the prince of egypt.

What kills me about it is that like, at that point in the movie, the Pharoah Is Bad. Him saying that a billion babies where fed to crocodiles is A Bad Thing. It's the point where Moses realizes he can't be part of the royal family without being complicit.

But Tall Shadow says "calm down, Bumble was less than human anyway" and Gray Wing nods along (complete with the jiggly clicking noise that comes with shaking a can of spraypaint) and this is an example of them being reasonable. Level-headed, even, not getting swept away by the passion of the angry mob.

There are so many levels to how fucked up the Bumble Debacle is that you can't explore every floor all at once. It is an onion. It has layers.

#I don't take potshots at liberals too often but like. I have to here #Because GOD they are bad at defending their positions #They can't defend nonviolence because they don't actually believe in it #They believe in STATUS QUO #They're not antiracist. They're just pro-decorum and being racist/xenophobic/bigoted is rude #Very very rarely do they reach their position through introspection and thinking through their beliefs #So you see it in their art. #Unable to examine WHY bigotry is bad or what's so insidious they just repeat it #Or try to justify it #She was too fat/useless/not part of Our Bonds and thus her life is lesser #And thats why they have the theme of predestination making everything forgivable imo #And it not actually mattering what you did #It's the ultimate status quo. Change doesn't ACTUALLY happen because of people or our actions it's all just fate. #And this ironically makes them very susceptible to smooth-talking fascists #...also my lover told me im Bumble's Lawyer and made me an AA style talk sprite so I've got that going for me now

HERE IT IS!! after Many moons of chipping away at this OC song comic for my scifi-noir android character Whitney and his bodyguard Bast, it is finally as complete as it shall ever be;; I’m proud of the work I put into this one! Pretty niche, but maybe some folks out there will enjoy UuU

ps: there's also a video for easy viewing!

#song comic #comic #comic art #character illustration #sci fi fantasy #dark art #character art #my scribbles #lyricstuck #an ode to this complicated traumatized morally twisted delusional bastard capitalist #as he becomes that which shaped him into the monster he is #the reality of his existence as an android (marginalized identity in this world) #is at odds with the power-hungry hierarchical worldview he's developed (as a coping mechanism) and is now consumed by #he will Never be one of the self assured entitled elites whose lives/positions he covets #but he can never acknowledge that or the path/ identity he's constructed for himself unravels #at the root of it all #he has vowed Never to be at the mercy of others again #which makes it all the more ironically tragic that the path he sees as granting him the most power is actually just selling himself #to be used as a pawn by the Hijaratha (illuminati-esque organization made up of the same politico-corporate elite #who ruined his life in the first place) #he's so full of contradictions/ hypocrisies and he doesn't even realize it #I find him so fascinating #rotating him in my mind forever #lots of little symbolism things in here #just as a treat for me lol #if you've read down this far- bless you you are now my boon companion #Youtube #whitney

ok here is my attempt at seeing how serious of an amv i could make about the little guys from night at the museum. WITH all the silly shots included

#natmedits #night at the museum #natm #jedtavius #owenwilsonedits #natmamvs #real era post #this one is supposed to be like. semi ironic. i didnt take it completely seriously #i made this like. a month ago and then just never posted OOPS ! #bc dhruvi was offline and then idk i forgor #this is prob going to be my last natm amv for a while bc i had to redownload software and i lost my files n shit.... #anyway they were in love here etc etc etc #uh yea this song choice was based on like. i die when our nights end but i only stay dead til i see you again. #bc its them . its themmmm

Mazarin and d'Artagnan! like. listen. I'm reading Charles Samaran's book on d'Artagnan, and 'Colbert a dit que d'Artagnan fut une créature de Mazarin; rien n'est plus vrai,' sure was a sentence to read.

D'Artagnan, Capitaine des mousquetaires du roi, histoire véridique d'un héros de roman, Charles Samaran

#d'Artagnan #cardinal mazarin #drawing tag #french history tag #ngl if anyone has any recs/pdfs they'd be willing to send my way on the historical figure of d'artagnan or 17th century french history #focusing on. like. this sort of thing. mazarin. richelieu. the man in the iron mask mystery. textbook recs. feel free to hit me up! #OH and politics ofc. im always interested in reading about politics. or anything else that could be interesting. my curiosity is broad. #ngl most of the english language texts on d'artagnan are about his book counterpart which is fun but not what im interested in rn #(and the texts don't need to be in english: i can read french) #WAHOO alright tags out of the way its been a hot second since ive made two posts here in one day

I thought I would try to do a wedding on a lot to see how chaotic it goes and I'm laughing and crying in both amusement and frustration with just getting the guests to sit properly. 😭

It's too late to turn back now! I'm going to see this through! And hope I get some decent pictures......

ETA: I'm so glad I had them buy two cakes because someone already stole a slice! 😭😭😭😭

#some of them are right in the middle of the aisle #even though there's more than enough seats 😭 #it's ironic that a pack with featured game play meant to micromanage everything #fails to properly micromanage anything #sims 4 ig.... #i'm glad i started this at 11 am because they might be here awhile #i'm still waiting for the officiant and sim of honor to show up.... #i swear if i should have invited them outside of their assigned roles in the event thing i will scream because that wasn't made clear to me

Mayta Knight day 22 - Plushie

personally i have a hard time imagining kirby as oblivious and emotionally unaware. at least when it comes to those he’s closest with. mk hates it because he’s usually right. :’)

bonus:

#text in notes !! #ironically part of why this took so long to post is because ive been working on my own plush lately #some serious pen art moments here but for being unscripted i like it enough #we’re almost to the end so i feel motivated to post the rest quickly but #going to be distracted with ll stuff for the next few days (mostly anyway) #gonna post smth im excited about hehe #mayta knight #kirbyposting #kirby #meta knight #metadad #sailor waddle dee #pretty sure this is also what made me decide i had to find a real way to draw mk’s mask #cuz yikes #my art or something #“’it looks so bad why are you posting this in june ur so weird’ to the worm in my brain: shut up!!! #ok that’s all

[darcyolsson]

its kind of crazy how tumblr culture did a complete 180 somewhere between 2018 and 2020 and most of this website has stopped being proud of how miserable they are and instead the general mindset is now all about finding beauty in the smallest things and loving yourself despite it all i hope we all never stop thinking this way

#i think we were kind of on our way there and then the pandemic really solidified it #there was (and is) just so much misery around that loving life despite it all is now exactly as contrarian as hating yourself once was #ironically the thing that made me fully realise this is dan howells comeback to the internet lol he has that distinctly 2016 humour #and all the comments are 'nooo dan. we no longer hate ourselves here its no longer cool to be miserable' #he literally gets called cringe for having low self-esteem which is kind of hysterical. sorry to dan howell but i genuinely love that #distinctly gen z to bully someone into no longer hating themselves lmfaoooo #personal
