The ability to fly would open up a new dimension to explore (in the mathematical-physical sense—we already know Danny had opened one up in the other sense). Think of how much Danny would notice that no one else would?

Think of bees. (Not so much birds, because we see birds all the time, and also because they don't seem quite as graceful and maneuverable as bees.) When I did a search for how high bees can fly, I found something that said bees could fly higher than Mount Everest (little edit: may've misunderstood what it meant. They might not've been found flying that high after all, just that 'they could'). Bees can go anywhere they want, just for fun.

We as humans tend to (for the most part) view the world as six feet high. Anything six feet or under, we know about (or possibly up to eight feet. But it's not much higher than our height). And we don't really realize we're thinking this way.

Sure, we can look upward, we can see treetops from a distance, we can see what the sky looks like. But it's from the perspective of looking up from a distance. Our worldview is colored by looking up from six feet or less.

It's a flat surface. Despite us knowing it's not flat, we don't really internalize it as being 3D and navigable. And we also don't realize what's up there. Who would ever imagine there were bees buzzing around the top of a 200 foot tree? To get to flowers we didn't even notice were up there?

And, yeah, we have planes, but they fly in a set path and you can only look down at the very distant ground. Helicopters are probably more similar, but not many people fly or ride those.

But Danny... after the accident, he would've started out sticking close to the ground a lot, but as he started getting more comfortable with the ability to fly, his worldview probably would've changed gradually. From his preconceived idea of 'the world is six feet or less' to 'the world is spacious and easily explored and so very 3D'.

There's an episode where he's vacuuming the living room ceiling—as though he thinks his parents will notice that it's cleaner than before. And though I understand the 'I have to clean everything so I don't get in trouble' impulse better than I should, there's a chance it's partly from Danny seeing the house differently than before. The ceiling becomes just another wall for him. ...One that he might clean often when he has cleaning chores, because he's going to notice all those spiderwebs and cobwebs, and the little bugs gathering in the light fixtures.

(...He probably would realize the ground is also navigable at some point, too. Think of all the tunnels and moles and snakes and other creatures he'll see, and all the plant roots and such.)

#danny phantom #danny fenton #just some thoughts #it's not really a 'what if' idea because it just... is. #asj post #I'd looked at some red buds on a maple tree using binoculars and kinda thought aloud 'I wonder what pollinates maple flowers'. #Because I knew maples had flowers because I'd seen something about it online once. ...I hadn't really realized it before then. #And my dad said probably Honey Bees. And I was like... 'bees fly that high?' #When my dad said he guessed so; I said I've always only seen them around this high (and put my hand at shin-level). #So... that's what made me realize there's a lot I just don't realize exists. From only living in a world near my height and below. #Planted to the ground. #...There was a post I saw awhile ago about people with weird ideas. One was about an illustration showing people standing on top of #the Earth and a person had been surprised because they thought we'd lived inside the Earth. #And actually... I thought the person could've been partially right. We don't live On Top of the Earth. We live under the atmosphere. #We're stuck halfway inside it. Under the layers of atmosphere but above the solid layers. Actually we're on the teeny tiny Crust layer. #I thought it was weird because when we talk about gas giants like Jupiter and Saturn we don't measure them based on their core size. #We measure them based on the size of their atmosphere. #So yeah we actually do live inside the Earth and not on top of it. #There was also a post I saw with a closeup of Saturn. Those clouds looked so 3D and thick and invitingly explorable. They looked bottomless #my search engine had answered the bee question wrong. but I did find something that said they'd definitely found Flies over 19000 ft.' #Not as high as Everest but still really high.

in the new dead ringers the iconic red surgery room scene is very didactically shown to be a publicity stunt to impress investors and all i could think about is this tweet about last night in soho

#wintspeak #this new batch of ''weird'' horror is so deeply conventional it hurts #and annapurna produces some actually different stuff! #but there's simply no sense of atmosphere to this show. none at all #feels like someone really want to make psychological thriller fleabag #and i LOVE fleabag but not every show needs to be it #all the ''strange'' ''heavy'' imagery is window dressing for a very run of the mill story #dead ringers #dead ringers 2023 #dead ringers 1988 #cronenberg #rachel weisz is wonderful please put her in a yorgos lanthimos movie again #media rambles

#angle under the cut where you can see their eyes because it is NOT very flattering from the front #sharpedo #this is the fucker that zooms after you like a missile in the swsh DLC‚ right? i think it also does that in sv. it's scary honestly #it's so fast. and it makes that big ol' zoomin' effect like the third nozzle in super mario sunshine. i don't remember what it's called but #it's the gray one. super mario sunshine is my favorite mario game which i feel like is not a very popular opinion #but it tracks because i had a gamecube as a kid. so games on that tend to be some of my favorites because nostalgia i guess #luigi's mansion‚ super mario sunshine‚ pokémon colosseum… #i could go on and on about these games. honestly. luigi's mansion is one of my favorites of all time. i still think it's great even as an #adult. it's much better than the other luigi's mansions in my opinion‚ though i guess my opinion Might be clouded by nostalgia #although i would like to think i can look back on it with a critical eye. i still replay it basically once a year cuz it's super short #i think it's super atmospheric and the later two luigi's mansion games don't really capture that same aesthetic #of… what basically amounts to like. a horror aesthetic. which is weird to say because it's a kids' game but #y'know i'm also not putting my whole brain into these tags right now bc i'm distracted but i hope i am making sense #fellow luigi's mansion fans know what i'm talking about. this is not about sharpedo so here is sharpedo #i believe this'll be posting on the last day of my outing when i'll be flying back home. so. finger's crossed #nope i just queued it and it's the day before i'm flying home. either way‚ good luck‚ future me

Alright gw2 peeps, here's one for all of you with a lot of alts:

All your characters of the same class (e.g. all your rangers) are stuck together in an escape room.

Which of your "class groups" is off the worst and who gets the job done with no problem?

#edit: yall did this way more detailed than my word salad so lemme redo this class by class as well: #eles: not awful. overall a relatively cooperative group despite very differing personalities. #wouldnt be the fastest in finding the solutions but definitely are getting out of there without casualties or other damages #necros: shit tier dynamics. hostile charr that wants to be left alone vs. volatile chak madman vs. way too gentle sylvari plant #communication would NOT go well but they would make it out (neljje contributes NOTHING to this) #mesmers: nightmare courtier who is out to be as destructive on purpose as possible vs. just some guy vs. tvekks (enough said) #tvekks will suffer but they'll probably make it out. maybe. im unsure. #rangers: actually competent. if we ignore the hostile inquest rat in the room we're left with a competent charr leader and a #very cooperative norn huntsman (and bobbie but he contributes absolutely nothing). they will get out just fine. #engineers: disaster. there might be dead. too many egos in one room and a poor norn who just wants to get out beween everyone fighting #she might jus solve this on her own while the other three are about to slice each other's throats #thieves: absolute hell tier. mordrem sylvari trying to eat everything he can possble dig his teeth into. #a mildly confused human who probably just tries her best while the asura in the room is suffering psychic damage caused by #the mordrem and the charr that will simply not shut up for one second #i do not see ANYONE managing to get a solution in these conditions even if individually they might just be able to. #revs: awkward atmosphere between happy upbeat asura kid and really grumpy charr but they're getting through it #warriors: also a weird clash of personalities but they'd pull their asscheeks together and get out of there #and finally the guardians: no destructive force in here. just two very mature people and a slightly chaotic but otherwise clever bard #absolute dream team coming up with solutions. peace and happiness. #budgie plays gw2

hmmmmmm.................vent post under tags...... feel free to give advice or dont¯\_(ツ)_/¯

#i think this is an autism related thing #but i genuinely feel like i wasnt made right for the world we live in #like something is just missing from me that ive never seen ppl talk about #and i know this is going to sound entitled and privileged and i KNOW i know i promise and im so lucky i can even be thinking about this but #it feels weird to have the privilege to be scared #this is specifically in regards to working #like having a job. like going to work #i feel like im missing an extremely important part of my brain or my BEING that is capable ot going through the motions of participating #in society. i never felt that switch of wanting to get a job in high school to make money for myself and get that experience #i feel like there's something i MISSED where everyone took a class on how to apply and go to interviews and write resumes and not be scared #like i NEED to be walked through every SINGLE step because i dont know HOW #and i see my peers and the literal entire world around me participating in this atmosphere and i dont know where to start #im fucking twenty three years old and ive only ever been an intern and an assistant #not even a full year of working #i cant drive and i probably wont ever because thats a whole other can of worms #and that means i have to rely on other people to even get to wherever it was i needed to go #i feel like a fucking child because im missing this knowledge that everyone else seems to have #ive tried i really have but none of it seems simple and its all so much and there arent steps to follow #i mean there ARE but its like 1) look up job 2) apply 3) interview 4) yay you're employed #and im talking about each micro step inbetween #what am i missing #and then theres the fucking demand avoidance that slaps me across the face whenever my mom brings it up to me like i KNOW youre being #supportive and encouraging and its not your fault my brain turns off and decides im full of shame bc i cant CONFRONT ANYTHING #jesus christ #manf i know u can see this maybe dont bring it up to mom i can do that on my own maybe #i WANT to help i just want to help at my own pace but unfortunately the world isnt built around individual paces and nothing revolves #around me. i know this #i want to help my mom i want her to never be stressed about money and to retire and never work or help me pay my student loans but i #genuinely feel like theres a switch that never turned on in my head and im being left behind and i genuinely dont know how to. like be alive

[kaiayame]

my genuine only complaint about the tlou show is that it 10000% needed to be longer.

#and not just because i want more #it needed to be at least ten eps #nine is like. genuinely too short #i know we're getting another season #but like. i think it just needed at least one more ep to flesh out the first game's story. #ideally twelve eps might be great #but I'm like. very serious about there needing to be 10 min. #also. i don't really care about whether or not infected are around much #but they were used in the first half pretty well and like. i feel like there's been maybe zero infected for the past.... 3 full eps? #which is a little weird #i get that people are a big threat in this world. #but like. the zombies are a thing... they matter to the atmosphere and stuff #I'm telling you. it needed ten eps. #i literally can't believe there's only one ep left. #ESPECIALLY because they included Left Behind. #as a full ep #which was awesome #but #..... yeah. 10. #......or 12

A Botanical Daughter

historical fantasy

a taxidermist and botanist who live in a greenhouse in a botanical garden, far away from the disapproval of Victorian London

when they receive a shipment of a strange sentient fungi, they cultivate it inside a corpse of a recently murdered girl - who was the best friend/lover of their new housekeeper

as she grows and expands her desires they have to deal with their feelings about the potential monster they’ve created

#A Botanical Daughter #aroaessidhe 2024 reads #man I really wanted to like this but I kinda had to force myself to finish it. #really not a fan of the writing style which is very emotionally distant and full of a lot of telling not showing #it could have gotten weird and atmospheric with the writing style! we could have gotten sentient fungi POV! but no. #The characters were flat. the conceptually weird/creepy/horror aspects were executed in the most boring way #the relationship between the men is something we’re told exists but…. I don’t feel it. I don’t like them as characters. #They’re not even interesting enough to hate - or like it could have gone in the direction of embracing the unhinged murder couple vibes #they flip flop between angry arguments and making up and I’m like what is the point of that?? Honestly I didn’t feel any emotional connecti #it kinda feels like it doesn’t know whether it’s whimsical quirky-cozy vibes or like properly gothic horror #it’s somewhere in between & fails at both. it maybe suffers from trying to play into the popularity of coziness #the closest to weird we get is plant lesbian sex scene but also I laughed out loud when I read the line ‘hungry for her loam’ #like…..these men essentially create this person then cut her off from the world and her biological desires; control her autonomy/ability #to speak and the conclusion is <3 what a weird little family <3 and not she should #escape and kill them and/or make them grapple with the fact they are at fault for this potential ecological disaster let loose on the world #there’s also weird colonialist lines scattered throughout that don’t feel super interrogated…

I had this one leftover orange image that didn’t really vibe with the rest of the set; the more oblique, hard-silhouetted lines were just more satisfying when shown alongside the rest of that mix — and this one is more unreal-feeling than the rest, as if cooked until slightly radioactive. another user pointed out in their tags that the prev set reminded them of Blur’s self titled record. I’m biased here, but I’m inclined to agree. album art warm af; also I’m a big fan of haunted organ music - and Blur never ceases to deliver in that regard, as long as you disregard their entire discography aside from the singular track above

#and while this may not be true everywhere: #the piss-vision aesthetic didn’t really catch on until a decade later whenever america starting hanging out in the middle east #and our film/television adopted an all-too-yellow color grade to imply “foreign atmosphere” when captitalizing on the spectacle of war #so this album art is pretty cutting edge by 1997s standards; is blur a psyop project created by the cia? more likely than you think #i’m bullshitting btw - I wanted an excuse to say ‘piss-vision’ and talk about how ugly and unappealing american entertainment was in 2009 #and hopefully giving you something that’s long enough to read while the song plays out #I know some of ya’ll adhd-havers be losing interest after 15 seconds of unfamiliar and slightly off-putting music #and if I chickened out of every weird song I’d ever hated the first 15 seconds of - I would be a fundamentally different person rn #listen to weird music. it’ll change your life. and make you gayer also #also look at weird art. it’ll bother you on sleepless nights. #my art #music #blur #Spotify

need to somehow find the courage to tell my manager tomorrow that i do NOT want to be put on eight hours overtime shifts a week for four weeks in a row

#ugh i'm scared i won't be able to and then i will have to do the shifts and i REALLY don't want to #because my mental health will not be able to handle it. but i can't say that because talking about mental health feels weird and too #personal so i have to think of another excuse and i don't want to create a bad atmosphere or for people to dislike me or be mad at me #i don't even know how i'm going to find a time to broach the subject because no-one even asked me before scheduling me in for 10 extra hour #a week! they just did it. and yeah this is like the 5th post i've made about it but i'm just spiralling so much constantly just thinking #about it. #emma vents #literally how do you set boundaries when you hate confrontation and also don't want to get fired

i'm not saying "i saw this coming" in an "i told you so" way but more than i happened to remake my account earlier this year so i ended up getting the "new user" experience and it seems pretty clear they were using new users as guinea pigs for their non-chronological following dashboard. and it sucks. you have to switch your dashboard over to "following" every time you refresh and there's no way to change the default to following. they said they were working on adding a way to change your default dashboard but i was always pretty damn skeptical of that given they went to the effort to making things DIFFERENT for newer accounts like, that does not show good intentions that shows going after people who don't know that they could have a better experience. and now they're trying to push it onto older users too, which was clearly always the plan. maybe i should've made more of a fuss but... honestly.... I am not a blogging warrior i am a sleepy insect. i just want to use tumblr to talk to friends and look at cool art and the weird dashboard stuff on my new account definitely gets in the way of that. basically the main feature that still makes tumblr worthwhile is our desktop blogs and the ability to sort and search posts using tags through someone's archive. but they're probably going to want to take that away too.

#Unfortunately i find cohost kind of obnoxious it feels like people press this idea of like ''responsibility to make a site better than twitt #er'' like culturally but i never used twitter much and it just feels weird and kind of oppressive atmosphere that everyone needs to post #''in good faith'' and i just think maybe i get different things out of websites than the crowd over there bc i really don't get it. #i don't really feel like i join websites to be part of a collective culture im just there for my interests and friends and i have like mayb #three friends on there so i just feel like i'm standing in the corner and sort of gave up on posting because i wasn't seeing much of what i #was interested in happening there. But i guess it could still make a good gallery website it would just suck to reupload everything i've #posted to my tumblr art blog on there especially the older stuff that doesn't feel representative of me but still like to have because it's #nice to be able to trace back my artistic development #ALSO their post backgrounds are bright white with no way to change it as far as i've seen so that's also a big minus

[perenlop]

mentioned this yesterday but man idk if its bc im coming off of a much better show, but the dub voice acting in jn suddenly feels really really grating to me

#like its better than the other post-recast seasons but idk #i used to like robinsons goh here but suddenly it feels like hes too much. i get gohs an emotional character #but it feels like hes screaming his head off too often #again tr is very grating in general but here it REALLY sounds like they’re putting on schoolyard mocking voices #other characters just sound off like theyre either talking too softly or theyre also just putting on a mocking voice #like rinto (gallade trainer) speaks very quietly in the dub and it sounds odd to me #idk. i know people mock the rgu dub and its not that good yeah #but at least the stilted performances sorta help the show in a way. like lillis is genuinely really good #and the voices are silly without feeling downright insulting #and the stitled vibe of it all helps the offputting weird atmosphere of it. like theres kind of a point to it #but w the pokemon dub its just. kinda embarrassing? #like the rgu dub is charming and so are the earlier pokemon seasons really but late pokemon not so much #echoed voice #it feels unfair to compare these two shows theyre not even in the same world of quality but i cant help it

I think so much about the time in Shimousa from when Limbo finds Danzou’s broken body to the events of the game, like there’s this whole period of time where she’s always by his side serving the every whim of someone that is deeply fixated on her and wants nothing more than to hurt her. And no matter how uncomfortable he makes her or how much he hurts her, she won’t even complain because she thinks herself a tool that’s his to use as he pleases.

Repairing her body, putting curses in her in the process… the curse of annihilation… whatever he did to her body so he could control it against her will… was the self-destruct mechanism his as well? And he states he messed with her head but did it slowly because it was amusing to him, so he would be inside her head at multiple points….

And then she’s both a beautiful doll as well as a ninja so. I’m fully convinced he would fuck her, and even if she can’t feel pain, make her as uncomfortable as possible in the process… and have her serve his every desire… and he can also use her to kill and spy on others, perhaps even asking her to kill innocents just to watch her squirm. But she’d still do it cause she’s just a doll and he’s her master… ohh it’s all so much fun to think about

#Infel’s fate tag #LimDan is just so goood aaaaaa #me crawling to other limbo fans and danzou fans like where are you guys that also are interested in this? #fgo’s most interesting relationship to me anyways #aaa I think that’s why that one JP fic I love so much is so good #it captures exactly the sort of atmosphere I’d imagine between the two during that time #and does not hold back in showing limbo’s cruelty #and also all the tasty doll repair stuff and limbo being really damn weird about her l #the uterus thing. GOD. what the hell I love it #danzou knowing she’s not anything more than a toy to him but still dwelling on stuff in her mind like the girl he kills
