cat wait for the yearly concert thing I perform at, where I get on Tumblr during lunch, after hours of rehearsal, and see nothing but destiel and around 5 textpoets for 50 posts :D

#november 5 2020 #granted the concert is the day before #but i remember last year #the concert was ON the 5th #i forgot #because yknow #concert #and when i got on tumblr i was kinda confused for a second #because i had been doing nothing but singing since 8 that morning #and i had a concert in 2 hours #check the date and laughed my ass off #my bffsys gave me looks like *wtf is she on* #they wouldn't have understood #core memory for me tbh #i think the high notes got to me #corn rambles #waow why r these tags so l o n g

its funny because Percy has been spiraling ever since pjo and whenever he has a particularly bad episode you have other characters actively worried about it and you think to yourself surely they're going to intervene, surely someone is going to talk to him about it, and then like no one ever does lol

#I STILL HAVE NOT READ CHALICE #so maybe something's there #but I think Jason in boo was the closest thing we got (percy initiated the conversation) #but like... I still dont think Jason recognized/understood the extent to which percy was spiraling #and to be fair Jason was not present in tartarus so he wouldn't truly know but like #I dont think annabeth's approached the topic with him #at least not on a non superficial level #or if she did it happened offscreen #anyways #if percy deflects or loses it or whatever you can't say the warning signs weren't there lmao #pjo #percy jackson #mine

I've always thought he acted like a child...

Also killing him isn't enough, I want to see him break down and cry.

I made a part two!

currently crying as I'm writing this but uh I reeeaallyy wonder when people are gonna decide to leave us lesbians with unconventional gender identities alone. please leave the teenage bigender lesbian alone. they're a young girl in high school who likes other girls whom their mother will never accept and has to hide their relationships, and forever hide their heartache after they fail. please leave the transmasc lesbian alone. people will whisper behind his back about how much of a tranny he is while expressing disgust when he holds hands with a girl. please leave the nonbinary lesbian or just transfem lesbian alone whom is too masc or man-leaning for your taste, whether that be because they're amab or a nonbinary guy, they're trying super hard just to live and can barely pass and is forced to hide or else people will accuse them of invading spaces or being a predator. I know you won't ever see us as deserving of the lesbian label- no matter how much we present like a cis girl or how much we've been discriminated against for our attraction, from my experience- but we're just trying to make it by too. I'm tired of just trying to convince people I'm allowed to exist. not be in spaces, be in communities, exist. please leave me alone. please leave trans lesbians alone.

#lesbian #lesbian visibility week #nonbinary #bigender #multigender #transgender #genderqueer lesbian #trans lesbian #lesboy #lesbophobia #transphobia #tw t slur #vent #queer #you know #you think that if someone is a bigender lesbian and calls themselves a lesboy #who looks like a cis girl irl and every relationship they've had is treated as a queer one #would have an easier time being understood as to why they would call themselves lesbian #but nope #we're just treated the same as a male invader or have internalized transphobia #im not even sure how that works #I wouldn't think anyone would look at me and have an easy time even calling me straight #but bullying and harassment and being told I was a straight person claiming to be lesbian still happened #even irl #you all hate trans people and it shows

The frustrating part about conversations like "should people with self-harm scars warn others before showing off their body?" and conversations like it is how nobody would tell me that my scars are obscene or should be hidden despite, literally, being self-harm scars. They just do not know because people literally do not know what self-harm scars are and what self-harm is.

Our bodies are not vulgar or gross. We deserve to live our lives, and if our scars make you uncomfortable, we can be compassionate about that, but that doesn't mean that our bodies are Bad and should be Locked Away. Treat us like we belong, because we do.

#mental health #mental health advocacy #self harm #self harm tw #sh tw #it's just funny seeing what people think self-harm is #because they wouldn't think twice about my scars but they would rain hellfire on somebody who has scars that LOOK like they're... #...the result of self-harm (even if they are not from it!) #people just run with the assumptions they have based off of like... pop media and sad songs and never from us #/especially/ if you are somebody who never self-harmed in the most 'conventional' or 'understood' way... #...i found that as somebody who fits that category nobody knows how to treat me... #...which tied into a different post i made about 'unconventional' self-harming bahaviour #and the idea that we should be hidden away like a broken doll just helps contribute to us not getting help or being able to recover... #...like part of the reason i have self-harmed is because i was told how my trans body was obscene in cis society... #...it was more complex than that but being told you are Fundamentally Broken and Bad is genuinely evil

i've convinced myself that Sunny is a serial gossiper, except the only other dragon that knows is Clay bc they're best buddies <3

#also click for better quality tumblr sucks and i draw small #hc that when they lived in the caves she'd just be constantly gossiping to clay #he wouldn't gather his own gossip but he'd keep up with her ramblings #sunny keeps it up at the academy and they have end-of-day gossip sessions #except this time he's started actively participating because he has his own tea now #im having feelings about these two as you can see #but im pretty sure sunny was consistently using clay as her personal jungle gym #so i think it'd be super cute if she's always just on him. they're the most tactile of the sibs i think #so for gossiping she'd just drape herself over his neck so that she can whisper and be understood #OH NO IM HAVING THOUGHTS ABOUT THE DRAGONETS' CAVE DAYS AND THE CHARACTER DYNAMICS/SHENANIGANS #my art #dragons #wof #dragonets of destiny #wings of fire #scribble salad #also i think their dynamic is like pike & grog's if youve watched vox machina #im slowly falling back into the wof pit send help and a rope please #mostly bc im fuckin around with dragon designs #like i based sunny a little off of a hognose snake + gave her speckling bc of thorn and qibli #and then with clay i want to go crocodile/bison??? except his horns turn down obviously #they stick out a little too #i want mudwings to have more goat/ram geared horn shapes #i havent read the books in years so forgive me

The thing that really kills me about Logan is that his kids are disappointing and ultimately unfit to be CEO, and it's not just that they're like that because he made them like that, but that they're like that because he wants them to be that way.

For all his talk about them being spoiled or coddled and his rant in the S3 finale that getting cut out of running Waystar is their chance to "be your own man" and build something themselves, he has spent the entire show actively undermining any attempt of theirs to do that. Shiv stays out and works in politics, but as soon as she joins a big campaign that could actually distinguish her from her family, he tells her he wants to make her CEO. He offers to buy Kendall out of his shares, but as soon as Kendall tries to take the offer and cut himself out, he refuses. He says he wants them out of the business and doing their own thing, and then as soon as they start actually doing that and buy Pierce, he tries to get Roman back.

The fact of the matter is that as much as he might claim to want a "real" heir, what he really wants is to never need one and for his children to stay children: incomplete, incapable, and under his thumb.

#something something the purpose of a system is what it does #i feel like the 'they are the way he made them' thing is pretty self evident and understood but it's important to distinguish that it's not #just a question of him being bad at raising kids or that he just can't produce the outcome that he wants: he is 100% producing the #outcome that he wants he's just lying about what that outcome is. he doesn't want them to be their own people or worthy of the position #because that would mean he wouldn't be able to control them and (more crucially for him) it would mean he'd have to give up control #of waystar. he doesn't want a legitimate successor because he doesn't want to be succeeded. he wants to deny his mortality and stay #in his spot forever. if his children grow up that means he has to grow old. if he can keep them trapped in childhood forever then he 'has #no choice' but to stay in power because he couldn't possibly leave it to them could he? they're not ready. it's a kindness to keep the #burden of the crown to himsef. #like imagine for a second if he did have a kid who was a perfect CEO candidate and exactly what he claimed to want. do you #really think he'd step aside and let them rule? #or would he see them as a threat and try to find some other way to cut them off at the knees and sabotage them the way he's been #doing with his other kids this whole time. #logan roy #kendall roy #connor roy #shiv roy #siobhan roy #roman roy #succession

Varadha. Baachi's older brother parent.

it's funny to think about Baachi being the child everyone forgot about except for baachi himself, damn bro but he truly was neglected by the rest of the mannars.

meaning, he was raised by varadha.

imagine varadha, an eleven year old child, who'd just faced disgrace because he'd given up the one thing that would bring him status in khansaar and who'd lost rajamannar's approval overnight

imagine varadha having to let go of his one true friend, deva, who was everything to him, in a place where not only did he have nobody else, but with the knowledge that most of his family hated his existence and that other lords would follow that example

varadha, who had to cope with all of this, and simultaneously not only be an elder sibling, but also a literal parent.

imagine baba watching an eleven year old varadha, making sure his even younger brother was clothed, fed, and grew up safely.

varadha has several scars, both old and fresh. baachi has barely any.

in a place like khansaar, imagine how diligent and protective varadha had to have been for baachi to be safe, healthy, and as outspoken as he is now?

if baachi seems dramatic, or even cowardly in some situations, it means that varadha has raised him, as much as possible, outside of the purview of all the humiliation and pain he himself has faced.

and it's only expected that baachi would not realize the full extent of that, being as sheltered as he has been by varadha.

baachi loves varadha, like a younger brother would, but with the carelessness of a child, taking him for granted the way a child is bound to take their guardians lightly - because he was raised by varadha.

and varadha loves him unconditionally, quietly, sacrificially, because he is the one to have raised baachi. baachi was probably one of his reasons to get from one day to the next, the way a parent exists for a child when there is nothing else to keep them moving forward.

#and this is where any conflicts between them may have arisen as they grew up #because baachi thinks of varadha as a brother but has been entirely dependent on him throughout his formative years #while varadha probably treats him the way a parent would treat a child – making baachi feel like he's not being taken seriously at times #baachi wouldn't have understood varadha's parent-like approach to situations involving him and felt undermined #character analysis #varadha rajamannar #salaar

pep really tried his hardest to make messi's life both on and off the pitch as easy as possible at barça so he could just play football happily with no worries or stress..

#like he dealt with the board all on his own and wouldn't let them touch him.. scaloni is the same way #he just tried his best to make sure messi enjoyed his time with the nt.. #i think there's smth to be said abt how both pep and scaloni were novice coaches at the beginning #but they both understood messi in a way no one else did and saw HIS vision and messi in return brought them glory.. #i'll keep saying until i lose my voice but the best coaches in messi's life are pep and scaloni literally no one else compares #you have to very sprecial yourself to really unlock messi's potential otherwise you'll just squander his talents #which unfortunately is what happened to messi for the majority of his career #i think despite all his achievements he's actually underachieved bc of how long he's been mismanaged and had to rely on his #individual brilliance #which is what im afraid will happen to him under xavi. not to mention the political turmoil laliga's experiencing rn #you bet your ass messi's going to get involved somehow #and this was what pep tried protecting messi from during his era hahahaha kms

For something you may assume is universal and constant, light turns out to be a culturally mediated and often paradoxical phenomenon. Our ideas about it start 93 million miles away — eight minutes and 20 seconds as the photon flies — with our friend the sun. The sun is close to what physicists call an ideal Planckian blackbody radiator, delivering a smooth and broad electromagnetic spectrum from radio waves up through infrared, visible light, ultraviolet, and X-rays. A hot tungsten wire does the same, only with a much narrower range of output tilted toward the red and infrared. But here, unfortunately for the layperson, the terminology reaches a point that is profoundly counterintuitive. In physical light-emission terms, blue is a hotter temperature than red. The sun looks yellow up in the sky, but with a surface temperature of 5,772 degrees Kelvin, or about 10,000-degrees Fahrenheit, it has much more blue in it than an incandescent filament at 2,700 degrees Kelvin does. (A red-hot steel bar, in turn, would be somewhere down around 1,000 degrees Kelvin.) The higher the color temperature, the colder, in everyday speech, we say the light looks. “Warm” colors are the colors of the things humans experience as being warm. Obviously enough, through millennia of human existence, the point of reference for artificial illumination was firelight or lamplight. But they don’t burn at the same temperature as a star. If you bring a light source that is actually the color of the sun indoors, it stops looking golden and appears strikingly, severely blue. What to do about this fact is a debate that’s been unresolved for well over a century: Should the ideal artificial light approximate the sun, or should it approximate a flame?

#an interesting article #enlightening (ha ha) #despair inducing and encouraging by turns #(I fucking hate inside lights they make me sick its why I have to have outside jobs) #people make fun of me for walking around the house in the dark #my own mother gives me shit about it #I just tell her if you understood how bad this makes me feel you wouldn't make fun of me
