Heh

#posting this now before big name aus get the idea too #idk I was looking at the mangas and how they’re drawn is somewhat similar #like their tunics #link between links #lbl first #lbl fierce deity #I’ve been… having thoughts #I was gonna keep this a secret but I honestly got scared #that some big au was gonna have the same idea as me #and people would think that I was jumping a bandwagon #and like there’s nothing wrong with doing that #but idk #it’s my pride talkin #now I HAVE seen random artists playing with this idea so I’m def not the first one to think of this #but yeah #I want First to be bright and like the sun #while fierce is dark and like the moon #anyways I’m rambling #just take it

I know we probably have talked about this extensively by now but I just really love how Lucius angrily talked back at fucking Blackbeard for being a dick to Stede in the treasure hunt, fully aware that he might kill him for it. I hope we get to see more of this side of Lucius in S2, I hope he comes back angry. I hope he's the one doing the Kubrick stare at Blackbeard this time.

#lucius and stede are so fierce when it comes to protecting the people they care for and they need to realize this #they need to accept that they are in fact cool as hell #i admire them so much #ofmd #our flag means death

i just. really wish people would realize it's possible to reblog a post about platonic relationships and expressing an appreciation for them or defending their legitimacy and capacity for depth and complexity and intimacy etc without feeling the need to talk in the tags about how much they love romance also or how much they also think 'a secret third thing' is great. like. you don't need to do that. in fact, please DON'T do that.

#gav gab #it's like how people in the tags of my gen fic appreciation post #are constantly talking about how much they love ship fic BUT this is nice too #it's like......... did you need to #on a post SPECIFICALLY distancing itself from the constant inundation of like. positivity and love for ship fic #was this the appropriate place for this #did this need that disclaimer #'that said' sssssstop there just. let that be said. let it stand on its own. #anyways as op id personally like to clarify that people talking about QPRs on my posts about platonic relationships is fine #on account of them being yknow. platonic relationships. #you don’t have to like them or like it when people mention them on your posts #but im a fierce advocate for and defender of them #and don’t find them to be ANYWHERE near as ubiquitously celebrated or thought of as often as im seeing a lot of people say they are #but don’t make MY post about that also

as a 16th century clergyman what does machete think of the printing press

I think by the time he was born the printing press had been around for almost a century and a half, so I'd reckon the society as a whole was largely past it's initial novelty and controversy. Machete himself is bookish and nerdy, he's very invested in gathering knowledge about various topics and trying to piece together a good picture of how the world works. Getting access to reading material would be a lot harder if every book was still copied individually by hand. His standards are pretty high though, there's a lot of poorly translated, shoddily printed and flimsily bound books around and he's prone to scrunching his nose at them.

#his relationship with faith is kind of fraught and unhealthy #but as a top ranking cleric he's nonetheless fiercely protective of the church's interests that's his job #the reformation and the invention of the printing press enabled people to start spreading bootleg vernacular translations of the bible #suddenly folks had a chance to read the holy book in a language they could understand (if you were lucky enough to be literate at least) #this was a big deal remember it used to be only in latin and essentially gatekept by priests #not to mention you could now buy a copy of your own the cost of books had crashed they weren't necessarily rare luxury items anymore #you don't just go and cut out the middleman that's not how this is supposed to work #distressing times in the catholic church #answered #anonymous

Hi! Your Hollow Knight AU has really cheered me up so I wanted to do a little drawing for it! This got me to get my art tablet out after months of not feeling like it so thank you for the inspiration! I hope the colors look good on any monitor that's not mine sdfsdf

Bugs In the Jingshi wyd?

I am so genuinely awestruck at how well you translated this AU to the hollow knight style! Also obsessed with the height difference.

#mdzs au #hollow knight #lan wangji #wei wuxian #fanart #Thank you so much for this B'*) #This is *so* incredible!! I feel incredibly honoured to have inspired something so beautiful! #I showed this asap to my friend who's been letting me observe their hollow knight playthrough and oh man oh man. The hype was real. #The colours have the Hollow Knight gloomy swag and the way that this looks like it could be an area in the game is soooooo good. #Thinking about the bug sounds they would make.....Peace and love on earth could be achieved with lwj hollowspeak.... #I hope you keep finding fun things to draw!! Your art has continuously brought a lot of joy! #I very much understand the pain and struggle of having a craft you just...cant seem to get your heart back into. #Sending you so much love and energy and artistic inspiration!!!! #(lwj has the wrong eye shape b/c I was too focused on getting the silly angle for dramatic perspective. whoops) #I have honestly loved doing this AU and I'm fiercely happy that its been resonating with people (as it makes me want to do more hehe)

As a natural redhead myself, I would love it if more people dyed their hair a natural looking red. People are so fucking weird and creepy about red hair and I think if more people had red hair they wouldn't be so weird about it. I dye my hair fun colors partially because I got sick of creepy people hitting on me for being a ginger and partially because my family is like crazy possessive about red hair.

OKAY INCH RESTING!!! this tracks completely, bc ever since I started dyeing my hair the more Believable version of red I get many, many, MANY comments about it

#I'm sure when it happens your whole life a good chunk of them will be creepy #it makes sense though ik those genetics are very rare. people really do Point And Notice #sergle answers #not necessarily always compliments. just comments #I'm flying under the radar with a fierceness bc I also dye my brows. a little something I like to call: committing to the bit

#i’m sorry but i truly mean this #the entire twelve/davros scene in the witch’s familiar about compassion has me SHAKING #‘it grows strong and fierce in you. like a cancer’ #‘i hope so’ #i am literally screaming what a fucking piece of dialogue #‘it will kill you in the end’ #‘i wouldn’t die of anything else’ #LIKE THAT IS THE DOCTOR! #oh pcap i miss you #do people like the magician’s apprentice/the witch’s familiar? #idk i love it #doctor who #the doctor #twelfth doctor #peter capaldi

Everyday I think about the fact that Kalim clearly lied to his and Jamil’s families about the reason why Jamil overblotted to protect him 

Everyday I think about the fact that Kalim defended Jamil against people who wanted to throw him out and took responsibility for being a contributing factor in Jamil’s overblot.

Everyday I think about the fact that Kalim had an inkling of a thought that Jamil was using his signature spell on him, and even under Jade’s spell, he didn’t reveal it was Jamil. 

Everyday I think about the fact that Kalim was very willing to just believe that he was blacking out and Jamil wasn’t manipulating him if Jamil just said so. He’d rather believe a lie he knew wasn’t true then acknowledge that the one person he thought he could trust was doing this to him. 

Kalim does not play when it comes to Jamil. 

#twst #Twisted Wonderland #Kalim Al Asim #Jamil Viper #chapter 4 brain #does this mean that Kalim lets Jamil get away with anything no matter how bad his actions are?? yes #is that good? definitely not #but there's something very endearing about how fiercely loyal he is #sunshine kalim who seems like an open book will willingly lie to protect jamil #and defend him no matter what #and that's why I feel like theres a chance jamil could be set free one day #because as much as kalim relies on his companionship and protection and just beingthere #he really values jamil a TON #he just needs to learn that keeping people trapped will never make them happy #and besides that #Jamil could literally murder and Kalim would say he's done nothing wrong lmaooo

Photos taken moments before disaster

This guy must be nesting right by the trail, he flew by close and then swooped down on my head! I got the message and got the hell out of there. I won’t take that trail for a while I think, and I’m very glad I was wearing a hat today!

One small pet peeve of mine, but I see it popping up often, is the notion that the gerudos are a patriarchy because once in a blue moon a boy is born and is crowned king about it (at least in OoT lore). And that's... not how structural gendered power works, at least as far as I understand it? Otherwise countries all over the world would magically turn into a matriarchy if they elected a woman/the second they would crown a queen; and every little children would suddenly be taught completely different stories about their social roles and their bodies, and all religions would suddenly shift a little in the core tenents of their philosophies, and infrastructure and laws would magically be reshuffled, and, and... and it simply doesn't happen.

So yeah, Ganondorf grew up as king because the idea of kinghood was thought out, upheld and passed down by women, and specifically by his mothers. Ultimately, any real power rests in the cultural consciousness of a majority of women, which shapes all of them, including him. If they had culturally decided their only boy's fate was to be shunned, or a living coat hanger, and Ganondorf was raised on these ideas instead... I mean, he could have revolted, and he probably would have, but he would have still been a subject to a matriarchal ideology. Just because said matriarchal ideology works to his advantage doesn't mean he has control over it.

#thoughts #ganondorf #gerudos #twinrova #matriarchy #I feel like this is kind of yet another example of people projecting orientalist shortcuts over a culture that just won't map to it #not if you take it seriously for two seconds at least #(also: I feel like people have “positive” associations to matriarchy so they go “:( but ganondorf is evil and has power”) #(so it doesn't compute with these pre-existing ideas of what a matriarchy would be like) #(but the thing is. gendered power is about power.) #(and the finer details don't erase the central core of what that is all about: which is about systems and not individuals) #(and for all his fierce individuality ganondorf is *just* one guy in a history that far outweighs his mere existence)
