Please do not reblog.
Colin Trevorrow needs to be fired HOLY HELL.
The new Jurassic World movie is an insult to the existence of brains. When I heard people clapping in the cinema (which is uncommon where I’m at) I legit booed. Wow, what a movie...
I really need to vent, because this movie... OH MY GOD. No, no, no, for the sake of everything, do not incorporate animal rights themes/parallels if it’s clear you don’t know what you’re doing. 
Spoilers for one of the introductory scenes of the film below. Also, I am an animal rights/vegan activist, and as it’s a big passion of mine (and my special interest), I’ll be going into that aspect as well, and I WILL be in my crazy hyper passionate will overindulge in talking about this mood, so get outta here if you don’t want that! It’s going to get VERY long and I’m doing this more for myself than anything, so please don’t start any bullshit in the comments and let me indulge goddammit!
There’s one specific thing that particularly pissed me off that I wanna write about here. I don’t tend to go into much detail about my support of/passion for the animal liberation/vegan movement here for a multitude of reasons, but you will see snippets of it sneak into my writing (e.g. I avoid anthropocentrism, I avoid referring to animals as ‘it’, that kind of thing). I genuinely grow extremely annoyed when I see fiction attempt to tackle the subject, and clearly be written by someone who not only knows nothing about the movement, but also holds no interest for it either. Just taking the aesthetic or the ‘comfortable’ parts while upholding the dominant and invisible ideology of carnism.
There’s a lot wrong with this movie; an insulting script, disgraceful hoards of plot holes, surprisingly boring, etc... but oh my lord, I’d like to focus on this animal rights thing because I don’t think most people will comment on this, and I wanna write about it.
The movie opens with characters trespassing an illegal dinosaur farm/breeding facility, all clad in black and hiding their faces as they document the conditions the dinosaurs are kept in. They are horrified by the conditions and decide to liberate and escape with a sick baby dinosaur because they’d die otherwise, due to the neglect.
This isn’t aluding to or mildly paralleling what activists fighting for animal liberation do... this is LITERALLY what some of us do (I personally have not done direct action, my activism is focused on outreach– but I’d love to do it someday, or vigils, but that’s a whole other story). The imagery of them clad in black and freeing the dinosaur as they make an escape from authorities is... it’s literally just the fucking ALF (Animal Liberation Front). Well, the ALF do lots of property damage, so you could also compare it to people who do the basic documentation (without such damage), but end up rescuing an individual who would otherwise die.
But then the rest of the film does what most others do, to a rather uncomfortable level considering what came before... there’s a noticeable level of casual/unquestioned animal exploitation here, even objectification (a quote from the film is something like “our food, and our food’s food will disappear”, in reference to the loss of crops. Reducing a sentient being to just ‘food’, a someone to a something– which is a focus of my novel, so this gave me a fair amount of motivation to GO AND WRITE IT AND ACTUALLY MAKE A STORY THAT DARES TO CHALLENGE THE READER AND HAVE A SERIOUS DISCUSSION OF ANIMAL LIBERATION (oh the horror!).
It’s a very small thing, but there were other things too, and it all comes together to normalise and avoid questioning what you’d think the film might want to question, you know? It angers me to see the decision to take what activists do in real life, activists who are mocked by some of the general public for having compassion and opposing injustice, taking that imagery and everything they do for animals, and using it in such a cheap and thoughtless manner (considering the rest of the film very much upholds typical carnist attitudes, beliefs and actions). It angers me as an activist myself. As the movement grows– which it absolutely is– this kind of thing really isn’t going to age well... hell, it already aged horribly because this movie’s a JOKE, even if it hadn’t butchered the subject the way it did.
Holy hell I truly believe carnists should not dare to incorporate animal rights/liberation into their story if THIS is how they treat the subject.
Anyhow, my apologies. It’s late, I’m annoyed that this movie was as bad as it was, I’m dead tired and I don’t do much activism during uni, so I got a lot of pent up energy in me. Preferably don’t reblog this because I don’t have the energy to deal with people getting all up in my face if they disagree.
Oh my God I’m tired. This movie drained me.
And yes I swear I’m beginning to work on drafts.

We don't talk about how long ago I started this haha (there was supposed to be more parts but let's worry about that later).
You should roast Sampo all the time as a Belobog citizen duty.

Magicians way
A Zatara meets a Drake before the Young Justice-fication of Danny!
1/4 previous interactions
.・゜-: ✧ :-
The portal closes, and waddling in comes a teen in his PJ's, a space themed blanket thrown around his shoulders and hair dishevelled.
In all honesty, he looks like he'd just worked up and dragged himself here.
Probably what happened.
"Oh, so you get to call me at 4 am on a Friday night and when I do it it's suddenly a crime?" The teen scowls, glaring daggers at Constantine, who'd had told the big Bat he was going to call in reinforcement.
He didn't expect a child.
"Get over her shrimp," the man waves the teen over, throwing an arm around the blanked clad shoulders.
"Batsy, meet Danny. He's my kid."
Ah.
"Nice to meet ya," the kid yawns, literally dozing off on John's side. "'m gonna sleep."
At least the man seems somewhat regretting for pulling the kids from his impromptu nap?
"Sorry, kiddo, need some help here. Did Zee go hard on you during the day?"
Danny whines, but answers despite the disturbance. "Mom had to leave for a show, I didn't go along, ended up on an adventure that took a bit too much out of me."
John snorts, ruffling unruly black hair.
"One of the bat's birds will join us shortly. I needed a second opinion, minx helping?"
Interested, Danny peered up at his dad, raising a brow in question.
"There is a powerful entity currently free, I'm having difficulties identifying it." He explains. "Did anyone mess with Pandoras box? This feels like something not supposed to be on our side of existence."
Brows knitting together, he thinks. "No, I was the last and most recent one to have accidentally messed with her box." He admits. "But every monster has been contained. There shouldn't be one free, we would have noticed."
John hums, picking through his well used brown leather bag, grabbing a sack of ash.
"It doesn't feel like a demon, lest a fallen angel. It's unique in its own kind that I had to get you for help, it shares the same feeling as the curses inside of pandoras box."
Catching on, Danny stares. "You think one of her curses got away and formed a humanoid form, not much different from city spirits."
Nodding, golden glow follows the words the laughing magician speaks, answering his question with the usage of ash.
Danny looks away, knowing the spell already and meets the whites of a domino mask.
That's not batman.
Squinting, he recognises the vigilante.
That's Red Robin!
"Red Robin, right?" He asks, just to make sure.
Red Robin nods.
"Nice to meet you, heard some stuff, pretty cool in my opinion."
"What exactly did you hear."
"Stuff here and there." Is the vague answer, the bird only continued to watch him, slightly unnervingly.
"Well—"
"Kid! Got an answer!"
"Let's talk again, okay?"
He couldn't answer before danny left to go to constantine.
That was... weird.
"B, what just happened?"
Batman only shakes his head. Huh.

Here’s some doodles of my overconfident jerk of a son :)
No one asked but here’s some little facts about him :)
- He has a cat named concrete who he just picked up from the street when he was a kid (despite his fathers wishes, the cat stayed)
- the cat is an American shorthair
- one minute they’ll be throwing hands at each other the next they’ll be sleeping together on the couch
- he is very scared of squids
- he loves rainy weather, especially when it’s thundering
- he loves dueling (maybe a little too much to where either Ivy or Daniel have to drag him out before he gets too injured)
- his favorite animals are penguins and lovebirds
- he dislikes his eye color which is why he wears the shades
- he’s able to change his behavior depending on the circumstances and adjust his actions to get what he wants (other wise known as self monitoring)
That is all for now 🏃‍♂️

🌌Multi-eyes🌌 in My Crown In Red 👑
This is the last one of the bigger infodumps I plan on doing! This one won't be as complicated as the others, but it's still an important topic that I want to explain for those curious!
In this post I'll go over
🌌- What multi-eyes are
🌌- What multi-eyes are not
🌌- Forms and experiences of multi-eyes
Enjoy!
Tumblr media
🌌What are multi-eyes?🌌
A multi-eye is a naturally occurring multiverse anomaly, which grants the affected insight into the inner workings of the world around them.
A multi-eye is able to look into the multiverse, gaining knowledge about things they shouldn't be aware of. A seer if you will. Depending on the individual, a multi-eye might take one look at you and be able to spill your entire life story without even having met you. They can also have knowledge about the future, other universes etc...
You are born a multi-eye, and can't become one via training, the same way a multi-eye can't train their powers to become stronger, or discard of their powers!
🌌What are multi-eyes not?🌌
Multi-eyes are exceptionally rare, being the only known ultiverse anomaly that occurs naturally and without needing any universe distortion for it to appear.
Considering all the different realities in MCIR's multiverse, stumbling across a multi-eye is incredibly rare.
This is important to remember, as not every "character" that breaks the fourth wall is a multi-eye. Almost every time a person from a cartoon makes a self aware joke, or an individual is seemingly aware of the workings of their own reality, it's most likely the multiverse covering a possibility, or the individual existing inside a bubble, in which the multiverse functions differently.
Even people from video games, who seem to be aware of the players existence, or are able to control the game they exist in, via erasing safe states or installing text files on your PC, are never guaranteed to be multi-eyes!
The only way to know for sure, would be to have multi-eye like powers yourself!
🌌Forms and experiences of multi-eyes🌌
There are different forms of multi-eyes that all vary in their ways of obtaining knowledge.
Let's sort them into three different stages!
-Stage 1:
Stage one multi-eyes struggle the most when it comes to gaining the knowledge they need. Most of the time they don't have information right away and need to concentrate on it for longer, sorting their thoughts into right and wrong until something feels correct. A multi-eye at stage one might also struggle more with one type of information, while being able to gain another kind more easily! They also tend to get things wrong sometimes, and are not as reliable as you think they would be.
Demonsoul is the perfect example of a stage one multi-eye. For example, she's able to gain knowledge about other realities pretty easily, but struggles immensely when trying to gain information about her own universe. She's also better at telling the past than she is predicting the future.
-Stage 2:
A multi-eye at stage two would be able to gain knowledge much more smoothly! Most of the time they don't have to think about the information they want to have, they're just born with most of their knowledge already. They might still face some limitations though.
In the course of MCIR's story, Demonsoul miraculously manages to stumble across another multi-eye by accident. They are aware of the role their universe is playing and already have all the knowledge they could desire when it comes to the past and present, but cannot predict the future at all, no matter how hard they try!
-Stage 3:
Also sometimes referred to as a "true multi-eye" by Demonsoul! A true multi-eye doesn't face any form of limitation. A multi-eye on stage 3 is simply all knowing, facing no struggles when it comes to obtaining knowledge.
As stated earlier, multi-eyes are born with their abilities, and can't really train to become better, expert for perhaps gaining a tiny bit of reliability here and there. They also can't get rid of or drown out their abilities!
Some multi-eyes have always had their powers, while others may need more time for their powers to develop! As children, multi-eyes (especially those in stage 1) might hold strange beliefs on how the world around them functions, as their powers are slowly starting to grow, granting them knowledge.
A multi-eye cannot not control their powers. They might be living their lifes and just like that, they suddenly have a bunch of personal information about somebody close to them, which makes them feel uncomfortable. They might also have pictures flashing before their eyes, unable to intervene, which is something relatively common for a "weaker" multi-eye
A multi-eye on stage one might also rely on their instincts a lot of the time, trying to go by their gut when attempting to obtain information. It can be difficult for them to have trust in their abilities, when sometimes they just can't get the knowledge they want, or sometimes need to have.
Being a multi-eye can be great as it can be awful. It can feel very isolating, knowing that nobody would ever believe you when you told them the truth, or being aware about terrible things unfolding around you, while others are able to live on, as oblivious as ever.
And that's that!! Thank you so much for reading! As always, feel free to ask questions should you have any!
Have a great day everyone!!

dying over domestic 0509. like Actually Deceasing.
their jobs Suck and half the time one or both of them are Exhausted as Hell when they get home (but that won't stop Shidou from trying to ensure that mikoto never touches an energy drink Ever Again). They cuddle when they get home. Or just collapse.
They have a plant. Actually they have several. They're everywhere. They just keep buying them.
Shidou: "They mean x and it reminded me of you"
Mikoto: "They were really pretty and it reminded me of you"
Shidou knows all of their flower language meanings and Mikoto names all of them (they're written on popsicle sticks stuck in the soil because there's too many to remember) and is also very guilty of overwatering them sometimes. Or forgetting to water them. (But Shidou usually checks the soil so it's fine)
Mikoto gets Shidou into his hobbies. I think they'd enjoy photography a lot :))) Maybe nature photography especially
Shidou writes notes and reminders for Mikoto just in case he forgets to get/do something (I feel like Mikoto himself is/becomes pretty organized about writing stuff down actually, but just in case)
Physically affectionate Mikoto. Shidou headpats. Enough said. *Backflips into the sun*
I want them to be happyyy uwahh... I wish....

so my body not only didn't get the memo about my gender, it also seems to think that I'm living in the Armenian mountains instead of Greece and gave me absolutely zero fucking tolerance to the fucking heat.
also I can't afford air conditioning and the mini one I could afford is still not here.
if I die of heatstroke bury me with my mini-Meli and mini-A2.
