TEMPORAL SALMON [Lesser Species: Participants] The temporal salmon, despite its name, is not related to the fish. It is a rare species of space-born, time-faring wildlife, named after Earth's salmon for its instinct to swim upstream to their birth place. The most interesting aspect of the species is the paradox of its birth. Temporal salmon hatch from eggs and consume the carcasses of their parent. At the end of their life they then return to lay a single egg and die, in the exact place where they were hatched, and at the time their parent laid the egg that would hatch into them. A single individual becomes both parent and child, dying in order to ensure that its own body decays around the egg for the inevitable hatchling to consume at birth. This combination of nature and paradox is so unusual that it's been likened to a 'causal ballet'.

It's this very paradox which makes temporal salmon so dangerous for certain time-active cultures, who avoid these rare individuals for fear of the repercussions of disturbing the paradox: a single displacement of a temporal salmon carcass could theoretically cause a massive disturbance in local space-time, or even create a rift leading into another continuum. The obvious exclusion to this prudence is Faction Paradox, who views the temporal salmon as both a holy animal and the ultimate hunting trophy. It's not surprising that the Faction should ignore the risk. The group's founder, Grandfather Paradox, once claimed to have personally killed the only known specimen, a legendary creature of immense size which once swam the timelines of the Spiral Politic. The creature's skull is said to be mounted over a fireplace in the heart of the Eleven-Day Empire.

The Book of the Enemy (creature/object) is still one of the more fucked concepts I've read about in Faction Paradox books. Definitely not the worst/scariest but taking a real thing and turning it entirely fictional screws with me

Happy to report I have finally started listening to Malevolent and to no one's surprise I am already obsessed (I'm almost done with s2 atm please don't send me spoilers yet sdlkfj)

I'll skip over my usual formality of having one normal art post before diving into shitposts let's not waste anyone's time here

#to no one's surprise the body-sharing eldrich horror buddy comedy is right up my alley #this one's been on my 'to listen' list for a long while but the stars finally aligned to make it happen #okay time to figure out how to tag this uhhh #malevolent #malevolent podcast #arthur lester #john doe #i will probably change how i draw arthur a Lot as this goes on lol but enjoy these early drafts #unlike him I had a good idea how I wanted to draw john from the get-go #though the scrawling chaotic scribbles are actually a bit tedious to do in cleaner art #the pencil comic at the end is about the easiest way to do it he's just a bit more formless there #which is only really confusing when I also want to draw the hand like in the first shitpost #if i draw anything for s2 i'll update him a wee bit though probably pretty easy to guess what #i'll be playin with it i'm sure #idfk what tags people use for these i'm not allowed to search the tag till i'm caught up #so for now these'll work! #shorthand i'll probs just use #mp #pretty sure i haven't used that before #probably #my art #doodles #comic

Fëanorian Week 2023, Day 1: Maedhros

I’m so late with these I’m not even fashionably late.  But better late than never (cf. Fingolfin, probably, after finally getting to Middle Earth).

To anyone who went “Hmm I wonder if the theme this year is going to be classical sculpture?”, well, congratulations, you’re right, though I don’t know how you would have guessed that.  I was originally going to do something where I based each drawing off the meaning of the name, and since “Maitimo” means “well-shaped one” the first thing that came to mind was a Greek or Renaissance statue.  But after finishing it I decided that it had been a lot of fun and I might as well do the rest the same way.  And it sort of fit into the whole Fëanorian theme since Nerdanel is a sculptor.

#feanorianweek #maedhros #the man the myth the legends #three shinies #my trash #/end classification tags #GUYS IT'S HERE #IT'S FINALLY HERE #okay no but it helped that i came out of art block in a panic to do figure studies #''wow so you used reference pictures?'' i hear someone ask #NO #I AM STUPID AND YOU ALL KNOW THIS #in like a year i'm going to look at these and shrivel up and die from delayed firsthand embarrassment #it was just trial and error on all of these #but at least i was practicing #...right? #also yes a couple of you may have noticed i'm not reblogging from the other blog this year #this is because i didn't want to post anything on deviantart right before going on a longish trip #it's just too hard to keep up with deviantart on mobile #so i guess i'll post them later after i get back #(maybe) #(because also i feel a little bit awkward about these ones) #(so i don't know yet) #ALSO also i learned today that the colors on the tablet are not the same as the colors on my phone #and neither of them are the same as the colors on my laptop #so i don't know which is right #and i hope you all are seeing the version i had on the tablet because those ones were much cooler tones and i picked them on purpose

maybe i'm missing something here, but it always confuses me when i see things like "some autistic people are disabled by their autism and some aren't" or "not everyone sees their autism as a disability". because... autism very much is a disability?! if you're autistic, then your symptoms must be present in a way that is disabling to you in your everyday life. it's literally in the diagnostic criteria. of course the extent to and areas in which you're disabled can vary greatly depending on the individual, but disability is part of the basic definition of autism, regardless of your personal feelings on the matter.

don't get me wrong, it's still much better than "autism is only a disability because of capitalism" because at least it doesn't make sweeping generalisations that aren't even remotely accurate to the lived reality of most autistic people. but it still perpetuates incorrect assumptions under the guise of personal choice, and honestly feels like an attempt to distance autism from disability in general. being disabled is nothing to be ashamed of, and i wish people wouldn't twist the meaning of autism to remove disability from it.

(and yes, that goes for level 1/low support needs autistics as well. i would be considered level 1 (though i wasn't diagnosed that way) and i'm still disabled by my autism! not to the same extent as many other people, sure, but i'm still disabled. if i wasn't, i wouldn't be autistic.)

#autism #actually autistic #actuallyautistic #what the hell. i'll put this in the main tags #i just don't understand what personal feelings have to do with this. autism literally *is* a disability thats a fact #(okay obviously the diagnostic criteria were created by humans and humans are fallible etc. #but if we extend the definition of autism so far beyond its original meaning then would autism even be a useful term anymore?) #stuff like this always leaves a bad taste in my mouth because it reeks of internalised ableism #i dont want to tell anyone how to identify. but if youre insisting that your autism isnt a disability even though by its very definition #it is - idk ive been in a similar position in my teens and finally acknowledging that i'm disabled and that doesnt make me any less worthy #as a person has made me more compassionate towards myself and others #it just worries me how autistic people on here are trying to pass off their autism as 'just quirky' or whatever #like if you genuinely are just quirky then thats fine! but if you arent disabled by it then i'm sorry but its not autism #i guess its kinda similar to how i dont *dislike* the word neurodivergent per se. but it sure feels like at least some people are using it #so they dont have to say mentally disabled #disability is not a dirty word

Just remembered this one comment I had on AO3 (kinda forgot the fic) and now I can't stop imagining Elfilis as Elvis Presley.

#kirby #kirby memes #fecto elfilis #kirby elfilis #elfilis #elvis presley #elvis presely memes #kirby and the forgotten land #this is like by far the most i've ever gotten from elfilis's existence and to say it isn't close would be an understatement #they should have taken up being a rockstar instead of a ruthless monster and mediocre final boss #okay i'll stop the elf hot takes for a bit now #if i could draw for crap i'd totally draw elfilis doing elvis cosplay #maybe even replacing elvis with elfilis on the covers of those songs #btw those are still the only elvis songs i really know about #apart from blue christmas mainly because my mom likes singing it in intentionally off-key ways during the holidays #i guess i inherited more from her than i thought but that's a different story #i may send an ask to someone about this but i can't help but feel bad sending any asks to artists just 'cause my skills suck #oh yeah also i've never heard “jailhouse rock” i just know about it but just move on with your life anyway #move on from imagining elfilis having a past as a rockstar before going psycho and becoming a murderous monster

finding a verdi opera that i will unambiguously love is like my holy grail. my white whale. my bigfoot. she's out there somewhere, probably

#of all the ones i've seen so far my reactions have only ranged from #'...okay' to 'myeah that was preddy good' #(don carlo and traviata at opposing ends of the scale) #guys i want to like verdi i really do....maybe i'm just watching the wrong operas.... #but GD there are so many. i want to find one i actually genuinely love but there are so many. do i have to watch all of these. #trovatore and rigoletto are next on my list but i'll be honest w u it is hard to motivate myself to watch new verdi #since up to this point even the ones i've mostly enjoyed i haven't felt any real urge to revisit at all #or at worst they baffle and confound me in various manners... #eugh enough tag rambling for now. the real thing holding me back is finals season #mutuals hmu i guess in may if you want to stream trovatore and/or rigoletto at some point #doing w/ friends is the best way to get me to actually get off my ass and do something... #sasha speaks

Very weird to be in that stage where a show is grabbing hold of your brain, but you haven't finished the show so you cant interact with fandom because spoilers, and you're watching it with someone else so you can't even just keep watching until you finish

#i am enjoying watching it with a friend and tbh having an assigned 'we'll watch it now' time is prob my best chance of finishing #on my own steam i'll probably burn out in s4 or something as per usual #but like its - i figured it would be a fun little zombie supernatural detective type thing #i thought it would be fun but was not expecting to start brainstorming fanfic ideas #granted who knows in advance what shows are going to be blorbos #but like! the charismastic asshole villain has amnesia! everyone is aware he has amnesia and are just kinda like #'we kinda pity you but you still suck' #and when he's just like 'okay?? why??' they were more than happy to give him an overview of the past two seasons #so now he's just like 'oh. okay. i. guess i am a serial killer that i cant remember. how do i deal with that?' #and idk how its going to end but i have a half-drafted plot of him getting his memories back steadily and is just like #'you know i didnt feel bad about it while doing it #but if you want to get some persepctive on your life develop amnesia and look at it from purely objective standpoint.' #or other plots like the time the love interest got arrested abd was being very very concerned about potentially starting an apocalypse #he didnt want to! he desperately didnt want to! but it was a risk #but yeah if i open a fanfic it'll probably say 'oh so how X died in the series finale' or something #and then i'll just have to accept X is dead

Me: Okay I'm going into this with exactly 0 pity, surely just getting one Kaveh and nothing else except maybe a Fischl can't be that hard.

Genshin: Oh you think you're being funny. I'm about to be hilarious then.

Genshin:

#anyway guess who's the proud owner of... c4 candace c0 keqing c0 ganyu c0 kaveh and negative fischl #kaveh FINALLY showed up in the multi after both liyue girls decided to appear #they were early #my first earlies #i saw keqing and i was like hell yes guaranteed kazuha #then i finished the roll #i've been in a similar situation before... #genshin just loves to play pranks on me #when they tell you not to roll solely for 4*s this is what it's about #i was okay getting ganyu which is why i rolled on her banner and i DO welcome her home but this is just comedy #how do you get TWO 5*s before the 4* you wanted #anyway i'll be farming mora for the next month see ya #kaveh went to 80 immediately and everyone else comes after though i still know what i was about #genshin #ray's records

Baby's First OC, coming to a Tumblr blog near you!

#FINALLY got off my depressed ass and drew my girl now that ToonTown is cool with the little gay people in my phone #i would digitize this but it's so hard to convince myself to draw at all lately so this is progress #i wanted to at least share my girl with the world somehow. #you can see how i just completely destroy my sketchbooks paper by drawing and erasing too violently #my hands are shakey so i have a bad habit of pressing down too hard when drawing :[ a problem that would also be solved by doing digital #but Spotty was a collaborative effort between me and my sister when i was like 6 and she was 3. and she just stuck with me <3 #which is why i haven't changed her name to something less dumb sounding than Spotty Blubbersnoop </3 #obviously i took some creative liberties with the spots. she had three different body colors so i turned the green and purple into markings #sorry I'll stop rambling about her now gsgshshs #oh and she's any pronouns but i tend to use she/her for her. so i guess it'd make her a demi-girl #but i headcanon that toons just don't have gender so it's more like she's just girl-coded and has no strong opinions about it #okay NOW I'll stop talking gsgshdjj #toontown #toontown online #toontown corporate clash

annnd of course tonight - when I finally have some motivation to get shit done - I am sooo dizzy. :)

#I just really. really. REALLY am tired of either my body or my brain being like you know what. fuck you. you feel bad now! #okay yeah I forgot to eat again or whatever but I finally did and it's not helped at all #I just miss being able to do.... anything at all. #so I guess I'm sitting down and watching the librarians and. idk working on my bullet journal or something. can't think of anything #else useful that would work right now. #but hey! at least I managed to finally dye my hair today! been wanting to do that for ages so that's nice #but whatever I'll go see if I can use a pen without everything looking all shaky 🙃 #personal

sometime this past year i had the experience of uh experiencing [something trivial i dont even remember at this point], and then felt in real time as my brain changed the memory right in front of me. like i Knew that my memory was now incorrect, but i couldnt remember what Actually happened. and i think that moment is the first time i ever truly started to realize that my memory in particular is not infallible and that brains change your memory of things and events all the time, especially over several years

#that last post about actively feeling yourself forget something made me think of it #theres not really any point to this post besides just thinking out loud to others i guess #anyway since that realization ive now gone down countless mental health and traumatic memory research rabbitholes #that i feel are leaving me more at peace with myself than ive ever felt in my life #dont get me wrong ive been having a fucking year but a lot of it is because i cant do much besides internally processing things #revealed some friends in my brain even :) #anyway my current read is the body keeps score . im listening and im fucking Learning some things about myself #anyway yeah so thats basically what ive been up to since i stopped talking online as much this year . whats up #i really am becoming more at peace with all facets of myself than ever before though. mentally and physically and emotionally and socially #potentially evidenced by the fact that i can actually hold conversations online again! #idk im just ready to finally start living my life again now #i made it through the trenches of my mindscape and i have more external AND internal support than ever before. Maybe I Can Do This #Maybe I'll Be Okay.

i'm gonna have to send one of my other managers at work a whatsapp i think because still no-one's replied to my resignation email and they didn't mention it at work so probably they haven't seen it

#why does this saga keep going on and on :( :( :( #it's because the main manager at my job is away on holiday and i was hoping someone else would read the email but they don't seem to #have! and there aren't any other addresses i know of that i can email. so i guess resigning by whatsapp and somehow just swallowing #down the anxiety it is #at least if i do it tomorrow it'll still be 2 weeks notice which is hopefully okay! #and also i won't have to face anyone till tuesday so i'll have a bit of time away from it all #(i came up with the whatsapp solution after i finally took one of my anxiety meds and was able to think straight!) #emma vents

Love suddenly bursting into tears because I want my life to mean something but life is inherently meaningless

#personal #SORRY just bad bout of sudden depression #I mean I have chronic depression but sometimes it just kinda pops in to remind me how much I hate life #really I think that sums up my very root for depression though tbh #I want my life to have meaning to it but am sidelined by the fact there's nothing I want to live for and that anything I do is meaningless #so I'm more or less just sitting around being mostly bedridden wishing I could die but sticking around just because people say I should #so I'm whittling away the time until this can finally end and at the same time enduring the horrible pain that is existing in general #what sucks too is nobody has any solution to it whenever I ask for help #it's just the same misguided attempts that I know don't work or just depressing the crap out of the person trying to help me #I wish I could approach it all with 'cool' nihilism like 'okay then just I'll do what I want' but I think what I want is meaning #but I know meaning doesn't exist so I just sit there like... cool then I guess I'll just waste my time here in purgatory #sorry again if this hurt anyone reading
