Well this absolutely sucks.

#vice is responsible for some of the funniest articles ive ever read and also some of the best reporting on far right dingdongs #im currently watching some more news' video about the internet killing journalism that literally came out 2 weeks ago #and its obviously only gonna get worse. unfortunately i reckon rolling stone might be the next to go. some of my fave writers went there #after other sites died but the EOC stepping down a few weeks ago doesnt bode well #anyway everyone go subscribe to the worker owned sites like defector discourse blog and 404 media! #because they're needed more than ever! #vice #vice news

y'all wanted pvp enabled on tumblr, I think that's exactly what this awful new note preview feature is because it's really making me want to fight people

#square up #real talk I see why they might've added it #because it (1) can show you important reblogs or additions and (2) may increase engagement #unfortunately that (2) is sort of based in how other sites increase engagement #showing you things you engage with even if that engagement is driven by you being super pissed at it! #given this website's delightfully bad algorithm I suspect it's just showing the most popular reblog? I hope? which again #could be good sometimes #but it's also ugly and distracting and I do not want all these random opinions on my dash :) #tumblr staff pls let us disable

The story of these two men is my Roman Empire.

Yuri Gagarin and Vladimir Komarov were highly decorated Cosmonauts, both of which made firsts in the history of space flight.

Yuri Gagarin famously became the first man in space on April 12, 1961.

Vladimir Komarov piloted Voshkod 1 on October 12, 1964 on the first space mission to carry multiple crew members. He flew again aboard Soyuz 1 on April 23, 1967, becoming the first Russian man to make two spaceflights.

Yuri Gagarin and Vladimir Komarov were close.

The Soyuz 1 was described as being “a piece of shit” and a “devil ship” as issues plagued the spacecraft throughout development and failed testing. Yuri had done everything he could to get the launch postponed, including writing a ten-page memo detailing the 203 structural problems he had discovered during inspection of the Soyuz 1. Any person who had laid eyes on the memo would be fired or demoted.

Komarov knew of these issues, but refused to step down from the missions. In March of 1987 he met with Venyamin Russayev, a then-recently-demoted KGB agent who had been assigned to "mind" Yuri Gagarin.

He met with Russayev and said, "I'm not going to make it back from this flight." Russayev asked, “Why not refuse?” Komarov answered: "If I don't make this flight, they'll send the backup pilot instead." That was Yuri Gagarin. Komarov couldn't do that to his friend. "That's Yura. And he'll die instead of me. We've got to take care of him." Komarov then burst into tears.

Yuri, nicknamed Yura by friends and family, showed up on the day of the launch “demanding to be put into a space suit,” "demanding this and this and this...", doing anything and everything he could to be the one on that spacecraft instead of Vladimir. Unfortunately, his attempts were be futile.

Soyuz 1 would launch on April 23, 1967 and faced serious issues throughout the flight. The parachutes failed to deploy during reentry and the spacecraft burned up while Vladimir screamed and cried and cursed out those responsible.

Yuri Gagarin was grounded from future space flights and denied permission to pilot military jets. This was devastating for the already deeply depressed man and everyone knew it. Even his favorite hairdresser said that “Yuri couldn't live without flying. It was his whole life. A man can't live without his trade. He can't survive.”

He eventually convinced them to let him fly, but on March 28, 1968, less than a year since Komarov’s accident, he was tragically killed during a routine-training flight aboard a MiG-15. The cause of the accident is unclear, though many speculate that the accident was an assassination on the cosmonaut as he had a falling out with several high-ranking officials following the death of his close friend.

Both Yuri Gagarin and Vladimir Komarov’s names are featured on the memorial for fallen US Astronauts and USSR Cosmonauts left on the moon by the Apollo 11 crew.

#I KNOW FOR A FACT I read somewhere that Yuri dug through the crash site for his remains but I can’t remember 😭😭😭 #DID I MENTION HE’S 5’ 2??? #there’s tons of controversy surrounding what’s right and wrong but regardless their story is tragic #and I mean tons of controversy btw #there’s absolutely no way for us to know what’s right and what’s wrong #we’ll never know what actually happened but we all know what should (or should I say shouldn’t) have happened #look at how they look at each other and tell me there’s not *something* there #space race #Cold War #Soyuz 1 #Yuri Gagarin #Vladimir Komarov #cosmonaut #research #information #THIS is my Roman Empire fr #like these two deserved better 😭

finding GOOD gore is actually starting 2 become so hard

#all the mainstream sites have been gone for years #most of the bps or other sites are like mid at best #dont even get me started on social media bc sometimes you can find SOMETHING randomly on public socials but very rarely does it happen much #2014 was the prime but also the start of the downfall and im sad 2 say i witnessed the fall of an era #i do run a discord server just for gore but its drier than a hundred year old bone fragment #velvettvomit

Baekhyun — Live Session (insp) Welcome Back Baekhyun ♡

#baekhyun #exo #byun baekhyun #bgif #m:gifedit #just like i said on the previous post this was on my drafts for 2 months #and i decided to post now cause it's a happy day!!! #still cant believe he's finally back #please DO NOT repost on any other site

[iovealexivs]

i swear most of you people don’t even give primary candidates a CHANCE before jumping straight to biden. just perpetuating shit by making it worse. if you at least made a dent in the primaries public opinion could shift but i have not seen shit talking about that. people have just given up and assume it’s a trump vs biden round 3.

there ARE other candidates. this IS the month to be nominating them if you genuinely dislike biden. do research. i won’t tell you how to vote but if you care about ceasefire, if you care about rent going through the roof or student debt, about codifying roe v wade and lgbt rights, look elsewhere since biden has continuously not delivered.

#these are about the democratic primaries since my state is closed and that’s what i am registered as. #tired of the US populace thinking general elections are the ONLY option. #how can we change the system if we keep FEEDING INTO IT #mine #the ceasefire one is so bad because only like two candidates have advocated for it. one has no details on their site and #i cant make an educated vote based off of no info on how they want to make that happen. #and the other is proposing ceasefire but also a 2 state system.

Behold, an Ongoing Project! 📯

I've been wanting to compile this for a while, instead of frantically scrambling for references every time I sit down to write — I thought it would be fun to share! I'm mostly tackling this from the perspective of a fanfic author, and also as someone who's very into viking era-through-renaissance men's fashion and armor.

I think it's really fun to look at the decisions that were made strategically (to maintain actor mobility, for example), because they looked cool (Faramir's pointless hinged piece on his helmet), or because they were actually period-accurate (gambesons under chainmail, or worn as armor by themselves!). I'm also taking it as a chance to point out what these garments say about their owners!

I say this in the document itself, but there's no need to credit me if you reference/use the doc for your own writing ^_^ this is some of my favorite stuff to discuss, so just getting to share it is cool enough to me.

I'm purely focusing on human characters to start, because of the more solid real-world parallels, but I'm happy to add on to this if there are other characters you'd like to see!!

(@potatoflower7 + @rivers-for-me, tagging you both bc you interacted w/ the posts I made when I was just starting this!)

#lord of the rings #lotr #boromir #faramir #eomer #theodred #eowyn #theoden #denethor #faramir of gondor #éomer éadig #éomer #théodred #éowyn #eowyn of rohan #théoden #théoden ednew #théoden king #my writing #(they've been added but not finished— i wanted to talk about hair in rohirric culture) #waugh i havent even started on aragorn and there r 48 pages...... #some day i might turn it into a neocities site but thats just too big a project rn. i need this 2 stay Silly while i work on the text game #(other character tags to be added as their sections are completed) #Éowyn's wedding garb has been touched on briefly alongside Faramir! think I'll cover her coronation gown next just to get it out of the way

It still makes me happy that the Bugsnax physical game manual scans still circulates on a regular basis on here. Preservation means a lot to me, and I'm happy I could provide a piece of media that can be accessed and viewed.

Also makes me happy that it's also being added to the new wiki that's still worked on right now! The more widely accessible it is besides my Tumblr posts and Google drives, the better!

#Bugsnax #Galleon Talks #I had asked the original Fandom wiki if they wanted to add the scans to the site #but it got rejected for reasons that made sense at the time #but made no sense later down the line #it was “out of respect for the devs” #but it's still public material that anyone can buy #I still need to get my hands on the switch physical #cause the sticker pack is split between 2 sets on that one for space #and I wonder how they fit the other stuff too like the coloring sheet

gotta do everything myself around here 🙄

I'll bite, would my url inspire? I'm not sure who in Fallout would have a mudkip or swampert, though.

it sure does inspire. sometimes it's nice to have company on watch.

y'think dinky is a good name for a mudkip, because i kinda do now

#fallout new vegas #craig boone #mudkip #pokemon #pokemon crossover #autumn.art #autumn.fandom #hey thanks for the ask! #tough fallout guys with cute pokémon is becoming my niche on here and you know #i'm cool with that #my two favorite fandoms tbh #like i said on the danse request i wrote part of a fallout/pokémon crossover fic and then didn't finish bc i started feeling silly #but like other people like it too. like ik that but it's cool to see y'know #and the fallout community on this site is so nice #''wouldn't sobble be a better choice for boone since intelleon is also a sniper'' i mean like maybe but #1. not the prompt and #2. after the seven-star raid today i don't want to think about intelleon for a while
