Hear me out. Ratiorine AU where Aventurine is a mer captured by a group of researchers and Ratio is the scientist brought on board to teach him how to speak and access his intelligence levels.

#aventurine #hsr aventurine #dr ratio #hsr dr ratio #hsr #honkai star rail #star rail #ratiorine #raturine #aventio #mermaid au #mer!aventurine #see ok listen #aventurine is a very smart fish and while he cant speak Human #he can communicate by impressing the idea of something on someone #which is why his speech bubbles are all abstract things bc he communicates by sending the idea of what he wants to say to ppls brains #and hes clever hes our cunning merchant gambler #so while he was initially captured by some researchers to be studied #hes able to charm them up and get them on his side... thus allowing him to have more luxury than the average experiemental subject #ofc none of this reallt matters when the researchers wont let him go free but its the smalle victories...#eventually hell work his way up to freedom #ratio is the poor sap who was dragged into the study half way to teach aventuring how to Be Human basically #he accepts the proposition bc everyone deserves to have knowledge! even fish!#my art #comics #scribbles

Song of Oblivion

#ooough my poor cataclysmic bird daughter #she loved so much and destroy everything for it #she denounces existance because to exist is to suffer- and suffering is her enemy #not realizing that in doing so she breeds so much of the suffering she hates #several of the fallen stars only fell because her question spurred them into a self-absorbing path #and then... and then the one singular meteia that realize her folly... who could be convinced of lifes meaning #by seeing you continue ever onwards even with your dearest friends' deaths on your shoulder #by seeing how everyone accepts oblivion for another tomorrow- even if they had suffered so much. even if they wanted to die #no matter what they fought. they fought and died and kept marching forward even in death #they loved life enough to sacrifice it. how could she not accept that?#and the realization that the reason she came to the conclusion she did was because she was flawed- bc hermes was flawed #as hermes said- he gave her wings to fly but did not teach her how to tread the earth #she was given freedom to experience the feelings and emotions of the world- but not the groundwork to understand it #she could see. she could hear. but she could not comprehend #she has knowledge- but without context it gets misinterperated and warped #OUGH im going to scream. i miss her.#meteion #endsinger #final fantasy #final fantasy 14 #final fantasy xiv #ff14 #ffxiv #art #my art #xanders art #digital art #fan art

Quote

Fighting for the freedom of one's people is not the only necessity. As long as the fight goes on you must enlighten not only the people but also, and above all, yourself on the full measure of man. You must retrace the paths of history, the history of man damned by other men, and initiate, bring about, the encounter between your own people and others.

Frantz Fanon, The Wretched of the Earth

i sometimes think about how one of the first things stede did upon waking up and meeting the charming stranger was inviting him into his secret closet and then in the same episode they not only swap clothes but exchange rings too

#please the symbolism is so cute #edpecially seeing that ed doesn't have his rings on after they surrender (are they in a bag? lost forever?)#stede's blue ring is tied to his sea-persona he only wears it as captain bonnet and takes it off when he goes back to mary #ed always wears his red ring (which i think ties with his red silk) except for when he gives it to stede #the red ring is almost a metaphor - for the Edward that struggles inside Blackbeard #it represents his humanity his need for a change and freedom #since he never puts in on bc he's sure stede left him i'm gonna need a scene with them putting on a fine outfit together #that probably wont happen but a girl can dream #and Stede notices the ring and puts it on Ed's finger #anyways the whole rings/sharing a cravat symbolism is fantastic and the costume design team did a phenomenal job #stede bonnet #the gentleman pirate #edward teach #blackbeard #gentlebeard #our flag means death #ofmd #my post

Love this post - thankyou! Slightly tangential request: as a primary teacher I would LOVE to hear any elements of the freedom of expression unit that you can recall? I realise they’re likely blurry, but it sounds fantastic and impactful and I’d love to at least ponder creating something similar…

I wish I could recall more -- I’m sure we must have done activities surrounding it, but mostly what I remember is just him talking to us about it. He was a really interesting teacher at a really interesting school; it was a private school for gifted kids (I had to test in when I was six or seven) and extremely liberal, I don’t think he could have done it in a public school. He also taught us about revisionist history and colonialism super young.

What I remember is that it was tied into a study of foundational government documents like the Magna Carta and the US Constitution; basically he did a nine-year-old-eye-level view of the history of democracy, so he didn’t talk about details or nuances or even dates and names, he just said, you know, this is kind of how it went. And one of the ideas nested in there somewhere (along with a few others like explaining how free public education was established and worked, and how taxes worked) was the idea of freedom of expression.

I remember him explaining to us that in some countries, in history and the modern era, you could be arrested for saying an opinion; you could be put in prison for having your own ideas about the world. He talked to us about how freedom of expression meant that the government couldn’t persecute you for what you said, but you could still get in trouble for it with other people. “Like how you can’t swear around your parents.” Very much “protects you from the government, not the Justin.”

And then he just started asking us questions, like should you get in trouble for lying? What if you lie to a bunch of people and someone gets hurt? What if you lie in a way that breaks a law, like saying you didn’t rob a bank when you did? (“Shouting fire in a crowded theater” was one he used, it’s a fairly standard example). He didn’t talk about sex at all ‘cause we were nine-year-olds, but I can see in the discourse on Kink At Pride the examples he would have made. (I didn’t find out until much later, but he was gay and was deeply impacted by the AIDS epidemic; in the summers when he wasn’t teaching he basically just spent three months getting repeatedly arrested for civil disobedience at protests. He also taught us about passive resistance, going limp when being arrested so that it’s harder to move you around and takes up more manpower.)

He just talked to us about like, there is a balance between freedom of expression and public safety that we have to navigate and it’s always changing, so you have to be able to discuss it, you can’t just make blanket statements about it. It’s not a right that you just have, it’s a negotiation that as a responsible adult you have to engage with.

I wish I could remember if he gave us activities about it, but I just remember it being a long conversation.

i am currently really into pjo but i am a big shipper of everything and anything fucked up so your blog is a gods send

You're welcome.

Fun fact: My initial purpose upon arriving at this fandom was to ramble about Nico. Now, however, I've dedicated this blog to be a safe haven for everything the purity culture (or whatever the Westerners are worshipping) despises. 🥳🥳🥳 Come, dear, I'll be your sword, your shield, your last refuge amidst this annihilation.

#and while we're at it piss off as many sjws as possible.#i've come bearing the freedom of Asian shipping culture #and i shall teach you #pjo #hoo #toa #percy jackson and the olympians #heroes of olympus #trials of apollo #pjo fandom #shipping #fandom talk

sometimes you realize that wwx's instinct of helping younger kids and guiding/teaching them comes from growing up as the head disciple and it makes me very soft. you just know that when they say "wei-qianbei!!" wwx is transported all the way back to hearing "da-shixiong!!"

#wwx after ressurection: HAHA FREEDOM!!! I SHALL RUN AWAY CATCH SOME GHOSTS AND START ANEW #a bunch if kids: ahhhh help senior help ahhh 😭😭😭#wwx who spent his entire late childhood and teenage years taking care and teaching the younger disciples:#''goddAMMIT'' *turns back*#his da-shixiong instincts are tingling #modao #lace speaks

Comes to You

Have you ever noticed that the world comes to you? In fact, the entire universe comes to you! It all comes to you, and the question becomes: what is your answer?

"Comes to you" comes from all your sensory processes. You do not have to do anything. You don't have to lift a finger! It is a gift from the universe. The chemical-electrical signals of the universe enters inside of you. Then, what do you do with this gift?

You are in an enclosed bubble and the entire universe is outside. The universe enters inside your bubble, one input at a time. The amount the universe enters inside your bubble depends on your reaction. What do you do with all of this?

Your reaction is your answer. You push back. You take the very, small piece of the universe and you bounce it back to where it came from. A small piece of the universe stays with you and the rest bounces back. What stays with you, changes you.

The universe enters and the universe leaves. How much the universe leaves behind depends on you. That is how simple this is! This is what the universe left behind: The universe gave you life. Gave you consciousness. Gave you existence. And now, what do you do?

Could i ask for advice? How do you personally start drawing something you never had before? I'm finally able to draw again and unfortunately, i have a hard time making my art lifelike and not rigid. I admire how alive your pices are, and the colors are always so beautiful. I Hope you have a wonderful day!

For me its been a really useful skill to develop to learn how to sort of "copy" what you see into a drawing, whether from life or from an image. you can even start out by using simpler cartoony art as a reference if drawing from life is intimidating, just to get in the swing of the process bc its the same process whether youre drawing from life or a cartoon or from your head. everything you draw is just an object, animals and people and landscapes are all objects. I start by simplifying the thing im drawing into shapes, you can break down even super complicated images into basic shapes. this is where the proportions should be figured out so you arent erasing and redrawing really detailed stuff down the line. from there im just adding more shape and detail as I go, going gradually from simple to complex kind of like you’re molding with clay.

I think bob ross videos are rly good examples of this sort of thing lol. his paintings look detailed and complex by the end but when you watch him actually paint he's just doing a bunch of really simple things, starting out very basic and continuously adding more detail (or the illusion of detail).

for not making things rigid this is something I struggle with too lol I think its a fairly common thing to struggle with. I naturally draw pretty messily which helps, drawing fast expressive lines at the beginning can help create a sense of motion in the drawing down the line

#i might reblog this with images showing what i mean at some point #art help #im serious about the cartoon part btw #maybe an unpopular opinion idk #when i was in elementary to middle school i was in this art class (outside of school)#all the class was was teaching us to draw from a reference and 'copy' basically #the teacher would have us draw from life as well but she allowed us a lot of freedom for what we draw #which included stuff like cartoons and anime as long as it wasnt completely simplistic #and for drawing from life or photographs we p much got to decide the subject #i feel like esp for teaching kids that was a lot more encouraging than only drawing from life

in a world where the writers weren't cowards Katara would've definitely been on Hama's side

#atla #katara #atla hama #u are telling me this impassioned freedom fighter who has herself witnessed the horrors of war #would not sympathize with someone from her tribe who survived their ethnic cleansing #like did or did katara not have several whole ass episodes where she has to work through her own anger and desire for vengeance #not to mention she's the last southern waterbender... meeting an elder and possibly the only one left who can teach the southern--#--waterbending style would mean so so much to her
