deeply refreshing to see someone critical of Swift who also like, genuinely likes her. Like i'm neutral to positive on her, but the online discourse has been absolutely rancid. flipping between "Taylor Swift has never done anything wrong ever and she's a fucking genius" and "Taylor Swift is the worst lyricist of all time and also a bad person" is exhausting, so thank you for like. nuance or something lmao

not to make it serious for a sec but i genuinely think that being able to like things that are bad is really important. like I think that it's an important skill to be able to look at something and see what you personally enjoy about it and then take a step back and acknowledge that objectively it's flawed. and to also be able to acknowledge that liking something isn't necessarily an identity or a moral stance. and i think that fandom space in general could really benefit from more people taking the time to learn how to do that. it's okay to like things that are bad

#people ask me sometimes why ill occasionally talk about something i like and then go 'but it's bad' and the answer is usually because it is #i love teen wolf. i love genshin impact. i love detective conan. and i fucking LOVE taylor swift. that doesnt mean theyre good #it just means i like them. and recognizing their flaws actually helps me better identify what i like about them! #it's like. in my mind bad > good is the x axis and i like it > i dont like it is the y axis yk. they're not mutually exclusive #tldr it's not that serious. we can all relax a little #irt taylor swift i do also think she has done some real harm to her fans in enabling them to deflect all criticism of her as misogyny #and i don't think it's fully the fault of these people who are parroting that response bc so much of her marketing has deliberately #reinforced this idea that to be a swiftie is to be a part of a sisterhood and that any attack on taylor is an attack on all of those women #who are in that in-group. when that's obviously not the case. but she's marketed herself as. for lack of a better term. 'girl music' #to the point where it makes her fans feel as though any criticism of the music or the woman responsible for it is an attack on their #personal experience of womanhood/girlhood/sisterhood/etc. and that's how you get all of thess bad-faith accusations of misogyny #i don't necessarily think this was her deliberate goal with her marketing tho because like. on first glance such a strong sense of communit #among fans sounds like a great thing. the friendship bracelets i got at the eras tour movie are really genuinely special to me. #but it does present a problem when your fans are unable to separate how they feel about the community and experience your music has fostere #from how they feel about you as a person. especially when you are a billionaire who absolutely CANNOT be above criticism in this economy #anyway. tldr i love taylor's music and i don't think swiftie hivemind is as deliberately malicious as it may seem #but it's obviously necessary to be able to take a step back and look objectively at what you're participating in. #anyway stream ttpd or don't idc <3 #taylor swift

#this one's like a fucking mystery. who's that pokémon?? what pokémon is this?? you can't fucking tell unless you open the cut or read below #where i tag what pokémon it is. i think i'm gonna put this one's tags above the actual name of the pokémon just to throw y'all for a loop #because this one? i don't even KNOW what counts as front-facing. i'm ASSUMING it's the top one?? but the prey eyes are just #unbelievable so i included that one under the cut. i don't even know if i can consider that “prey eyes” at this point. what is this thing?? #what's the thing protruding?? a mouth?? it doesn't lend itself to making it look any more like a moon! it just— it just protrudes!! #i really just don't understand. what or why this pokémon is or exists. what type is it? pure psychic? #nnnNNAURP rock/psychic. can't believe i forgot about the rock typing considering the way that guy with the solrock in swsh #raid battles used it. whatever i think i've successfully revealed what pokémon this is by now #lunatone #and yes‚ i know now that zangoose walks on all fours in pmd. THANK YOU!!! FOR TELLING ME. EVERYONE ON TUMBLR #i got it when the first person told me. i looked them up. i saw them. with my eyes. i feel like i've talked about pmd enough in these tags #and in asks that i've answered that you all should know how much of a pmd fan i am by now but i guess it's GOOD TO CONFIRM #perhaps no one really does read these tags. unless they have an opportunity to correct me. lasered in on that #i'm not like mad i'm just like WOW everyone told me. that is SO many people telling me after the first one did and i know SO hard #anyway. i'm gonna go remove these tags from the dusclops post. pphhhheew

Guess this place will more or less just be an art blog

It-

It is an art blog

Did you not read the tin

Oh read the tags I had a realization.

#asks #is this because I said I’ve deleted some asks pertaining to myself? #it’s not just not wanting all of that on my blog #sometimes I’m just not in the mood to say personal things #will say I deleted some of those in rash moments #where I got the ask and was in the middle of a situation where the last thing I wanted was to be talking about myself #I don’t believe I actually dislike those asks? #sometimes I’m just not in the mood for them #like #at all #those will just be the asks I’m more wildcard on #sometimes I’ll answer them #sometimes I won’t #I’ll try to not delete those #maybe set them aside #tell myself to stop being so damn hasty and wait till I’ve cleared my mind #I don’t know why I put this in tags but now I don’t want to put it above

This seems kind of unlikely, but since a few of you have bookbinding experience I thought I'd toss it out there:

I'd like my next practice bind to be a favorite novel, but most of the novels whose full text is easily available are also easy to find as beautiful clothbounds, and thus I already own them. If I bound a favorite classic, my efforts would be redundant. This leaves me with (a) binding a B-tier favorite or (b) attempting to bind something outside the public domain. I'm trying to figure out how feasible (b) would be for me now.

Does anyone know of a method that could be used to harvest text from ebooks into Word or similar? Or can anyone even recommend some less legitimate resources for getting ahold of these texts with the formatting intact?

#as far as 🏴‍☠️ goes I would probably stick with books that I already own as ebooks or paperbacks. that's probably where I'd put the line #i did some googling and was able to find a sketchy pdf of one of my top candidates but when I copied it into word the formatting was a mess #and reformatting it all from scratch is. not appealing #i do know there are ways to rebind existing paperbacks into clothbounds #but i think that's above my current skill level #and not really what I'm trying to practice now besides #although i would love to learn to do that eventually #anyway. just thought I'd toss the question out in case one of you guys knows the answer #thanks! #pontifications and creations #adventures in bookbinding

Big question I have for the Tallstar kitten, where does Jake go at the end? If they are co-parenting, then does this child get separated from one of its parents? Would shake come visit? Did Tallstar and Jake have a messy breakup? It would make a very interesting parallel for Onewhisker, Tallstar proudly returning to the clan and claiming the kit as his

The child would very much get separated!!

Tallstar’s Collapse heavily involves the infamous BB!Heatherstar, and the death of tunnelling as she sacrifices it to advance the war with ShadowClan. Kitten or no kitten, the entire book is a lot more bitter as a result.

Tallkit grows up in a Clan that is a community. Palebird is loved and helped through her depression, Tallkit learns from all sorts of different cats. There's issues-- the war and Shrewclaw-- but this is home.

At the same time, he watches Sandgorse and the Tunnelers grow angry and desperate, realizing that Heatherstar is killing their tradition to make more fighters. It's likely that she, or one of her supporters, encourages Tallkit's fear of tunnels and division with his father.

Jake is freedom. He's a paw to offer him an escape from the drama and politics. To see that he does not have to live that way.

But the tragedy here is that Tallstar can't leave it behind. He loves his mom, his half siblings, Woolytail, his mentor, his friends... the moorland is home. Doesn't he have a responsibility to it? To serve WindClan and to fix its problems instead of running away?

WindClan is home. It's family. And Jake is family too but...

Without a kitten it ends here, basically. Tall decides to go home at this point. If he DOES have the kitten...

Then the kitten is probably adopted from parents who died, and that causes Tall to have a bit of an existential crisis. The idea of that is ALIEN to him, there's always someone in a clan to care for the kittens, community is the core of Clan life.

Even at its worst, even when Palebird couldn't take care of him, there was no question that he was loved and valued.

But here's kittens with NO family. If him and Jake and the Nomads hadn't found them...

He can't stop thinking about WindClan after that. The lessons he was taught, the gorse and the heather and the bounty it provides. Palebird and his new siblings, Heatherstar and her aging deputy. How this child he's raising would never know a trip to the moonstone or see its grandmother.

And most importantly; Talltail believes there is value in serving a Clan, and being put to the Stars in death. Where will he go? Where will Fly go??

But Jake does not want that life. He can see that his mate is growing unhappy, but he would be equally unhappy if he went with him. They love each other like a breeze loves a stone; try it might, the wind can't lift the rock.

So they have to part ways.

I think Jake visited for a few years after that, but abruptly stopped. The war grew more intense and it wasn't safe to visit anymore, especially as tensions between Clans got even worse. Tallstar chose his destiny, and Jake chose his.

#loving the idea of a parallel #where Tall did the right thing and took the reputation hit but worked his way back up #and Onestar rejected his kitten completely when it got too real #Though to be fair I think this redux doesn't really have clear answers and I'm fond of that #whos to say Fly wouldn't have had a perfectly fine life with those nomads? #but if Tallstar has a religion and culture that makes him value his clan above all else #Even though he tried to break it #it's even more interesting to think about Tallstar this way considering how the war ends at the end of this era #with Tallstar trying to negotiate a peace deal and Brokenstar killing his own father to reject it #better bones au #Tallstar’s Collapse #symbolically you could say the ending is a collapse as well #the breakdown of the dream of escaping clan culture's problems

had a thought just now

what if one of the reasons why Ienzo is so jarringly chipper (and far more casual in speech, mannerisms, and posture than Zexion) in DDD and KH3 is because before, for basically all his life, he was vying for the attention of someone he looked up to (whether it be Ansem or Even or Xehanort/Xemnas) and competing with his peers, and made sure to act seriously and with the confidence you would expect of an experienced, aged veteran rather than someone his actual age (because you know how it is with adults and treating people younger than them as inferior)

but post-recompletion there's no one to compete with except himself and no mentor to impress until Ansem comes back

#kingdom hearts #ienzo #goddamn. if I wasnt on team #ansem shouldnt have come back to stay #before then I guess I am now #the pressure to impress is BACK ON !!! #i wonder how ienzo feels about it… #did that bit of time where he had to decide for himself what he wanted to do feel refreshing and freeing #or was it daunting and now he’s glad to have stability back #at least he’s not competing with his peers anymore #now that people (*cough* Even) actually recognize his capabilities #and are all actively trying to be less terrible to each other after the organization experience #i think the real answer is none of the above and this will never be addressed in canon #side characters 😔 #me post

*i substituted season 1 rand in for early books rand because while season 1 rand is Baby Boy (Sexy), early books rand is Baby Boy (Literal) and ineligible for this poll

#rand al'thor #wot #the wheel of time #wot book spoilers #no all or none of the above options bc those just distract from the heart of the question i want answered #as i learned when i did a poll where what i really wanted to know was the book vs. show breakdown of cauthor shippers #but included a 'don't ship it at all' option to be thorough and that ended up getting half the votes and skewing my stats djfkj #so i am specifically polling rand thirsters here and non-thirsters will simply have to abstain

As the first math anon (the one with the failed exam), I really do appreciate you writing out a response for me. I will sincerely take your advice and tips to heart.

I hope it helps, anon!! If there's any specific parts giving you trouble (except geometry bestie sorry) I'm happy to try and help break it down!

#ask #anon #i will never forget being in middle school while my dad went back to college for some certificate thingy #and by chance we happened to be at the same level algebra for our math class #and on the same lesson #so i asked him for help with my homework one night and he was like 'yeah i got you we just learned that watch THIS' and showed me how #next day i got it back and i was like **so that was fucking wrong** #my dad says that was the day he knew he'd never be able to help me with my current schoolwork again it was too above his paygrade #did we all have that childhood experience of our dads angrily yelling/repeating a math question at us because we didn't know the answer #but also like 2 years ago my nephew asked me for help with his online math class and ofc it was geometry #i spent like 30 min working out one problem and i was like 'okay i am confident THIS is the answer (:' #and my answer wasn't even one of the 4 multiple choices lmao #listen boy you live in the golden age of the internet where you can just google the solution okay i had WORK for it at your age so #stop asking me about the angle of a cylinder or whatever

inverted murder mystery: "who the fuck killed my archnemesis? i need to thank them personally"

#spoilers + meta for my own fic (a monster might begin to worry) in the tags below bc i just reread it and cried but #if magnus was less depressed and more assured of his own worthiness of being stood up for and protected #then ammbtw would have almost immediately turned into this #instead it doesn't really become this until the final chapter - where magnus finally believes that protecting him was the right thing #before that - when he did have the capacity to “solve” the case; and obviously even *did* solve it with some help - #he was so torn up over motive. over *why* someone would've intervened. and because mags thought so poorly of himself - #he wasn't convinced that killing kalen *was* a heroic act. because sure; magnus felt that kalen deserved it #but he also felt that *he* was getting off easy. that he wasn't having to atone for *his* perceived failures #in that last chapter though. in that last chapter. just when he's lost the ability to remember or comprehend the answer #which is the *same* time he finally claws his way up into good enough mental health to believe that he deserves nice things #*that's* when he finally wants to do my little shitpost above. to give the murderer a truly heartfelt thank you #and the irony is that the killer is right under his nose... and magnus doesn't know; and can never ever know #but instead of being a dark ending a la “the murderer committed the perfect crime and got away; where will they strike next?” #it's a “magnus is safe and loved and supported” ending :) even if he still doesn't know the lengths his family's gone to for him #because he's getting to a place where he can be happy without knowing all the answers :) #a monster might begin to worry

[cruelsister-moved2]

that thread i rbed like ages ago about men's urge to disagree/object to/obstruct women for no reason has seriously reset my brain its so crazy but i think actually one of the rare things that actually might represent a way forward for how men engage with women. like there's always going to be the rightwing ardent misogynists who don't care that they're doing this but for all the men in the middle that do on some level want to be better it represents 1. fairly confronting evidence that your position in the patriarchy actually affects how you relate to women much more than you realise it does even if you think of yourself as self-aware and 2. a genuine example of something that makes us all suffer because the fact you niggle on every single issue like what flavour of ice cream to buy is unhealthy for relationships (of any kind) AND introduces unnecessary amount of background strain to your life for no real gain. maybe im being an idealist but i love the idea of a man experiencing a certain amount of horror upon recognition of this as a catalyst to other more meaningful recognitions and changes both in how he evaluates the competence of women but also in recognition of the subjectivity of he perceives things i.e i think one of the biggest barriers to confronting the housework gap is often that men don't SEE how much women are doing and also don't SEE things that need to be done, to the extent that ive seen men argue that the solution is just for women to not care about being surrounded by mess. anyway no conclusion but i cant stop thinking about that thread both super horrifyingand also kind of hopeful

#i absolutely think it applies to other forms of marginalisation as well #but can take different forms e.g a man assuming he will make better choices than his wife even about something really minor and stupid #vs an abled person assuming they have more insight on a disabled persons' experienes/condition #but i think its the same fundamental urge going on #but yeah like personally i find disagreeing with ppl really unpleasant when it builds up that its like you need to pick your battles for #when it matters. of course you can go to far and avoid conflict but like as a perfectionist autist i have to constantly address my tendency #to like. get annoyed about someone pouring milk wrong or something. like even when they are actually wrong. sometimes it doesnt matter. #and i think the fact that this is how you treat people you LOVE and in many cases would probably say you respect #should make it liek especially wounding to realise #i also dont think women are immune to this behaviour as i said above and after all we pick up communication habits from the people we #communicate with. but i think it stems from patriarchy in pretty much all its iterations #and theres also an answering affect women can develop where you just shut down and learn to give in on every issue/devote your energy to #avoidit coming up in the first place #like you stop saying what flavour of ice cream you want at all. which i think is the end goal of this behaviour whether thats actually what #the person doing it desires or not thats what it seeks to achieve

sleepover ask game! tell me your fav memory

this made a man tear up a little ngl

Favourite memory: Every weekend I used to stay with my Gran, and when she was preparing dinner in her little yellow kitchen, the door barely scraping past the edge of the kitchen table, she'd look out the window, and you could see far past all the houses, all the gardens, all the roads, right to the horizon of the sea, and as she was looking, she'd absent-mindedly sing old Scottish dance hall songs to me.

I'd curl up on one of the wooden chairs, the threadbare cushions scratching the backs of my thighs and sing along with her while I watched her bob around, the scent of cooking and cheap hairspray she used to lacquer her perm down catching my nose.

On rare sunny days, the light would hit the water just right, spreading golden rays through the little dilapidated flat, the butterfly suncatcher I made her that hung off the window frame throwing reds and oranges in every direction, and they'd catch off my face. She'd turn to me, and with every ounce of adoration she could muster into her thinning voice, she'd tell me I was gorgeous.

She lost her mind to dementia, and her flat has long been sold on. I have no idea where that stupid plastic butterfly suncatcher is anymore, but the last I saw it, the colours had faded out, barely leaving the suggestion of red around the black rims. I'd like it back if it's still around, though.

#answered #human-leather-hat-appreciator #ask games #she also had so much of my art around about the house #right up til the day she moved out #my parents used to grumble because me and my brother were the only children whos picture wasnt up in her house (bc my cousins were married #and my second cousins were babies) #but i was the only grandchild that had so much art up on her walls. at a headcount there were six separate pieces of childhood art dotted #all about the place #one of them -- a truly atrocious painting of a girl in a bowler hat -- hung above my head where id sit in the kitchen and another -- a #watercolour of a princess -- was hanging above the washing machine

And one more question related to previous question. What does that nod that gon gave to yeong ment before he left him there all alone . I mean I wanna know the significance of the nod . I mean if that nod was given by yeong then i would have understood that Yeong was trying to say to gon that go ahead i will be okay . But the nod was from gon i didn't really understand that . thank you for your time 😊

Mmmmh it’s difficult to say for sure, of course to get the true answer of what it means you’d have to ask Kim Eunsook what she meant when she wrote it in the script, or you’d have to ask Lee Minho if it was unscripted, but for me I think it meant a few different things, rolled into one.

One meaning I think is it’s Gon trying to say to Yeong that he’s doing a good job, he’s doing well. Gon is thanking him for his work and his loyalty, and assuring him that what he’s doing is ok. It’s ok to touch the little king, it’s ok to hold him close and comfort him, and Gon is pleased that he’s doing that.

Another meaning could also be Gon assuring Yeong that he’s following the plan. Gon knows that Yeong would want to sacrifice himself so Gon can go after Lee Lim, so Gon’s nod is in acknowledgment of that, it’s as if he’s receiving Yeong’s silent blessing because he knows that Yeong is giving it. He’s saying that he won’t be distracted, and he won’t let Yeong’s sacrifice be in vain, and he’s going to go and finish what he started.

On a similar vein, it could also be Gon assuring Yeong that he’s coming back for him, that he’s going but he’s also going to come back. Yeong should stay strong for a bit, but it won’t be forever because he’s coming back - he won’t let his Unbreakable Sword break that easily. To be fair, this point could just be my wishful thinking but I like to think that Yeong knew that he wasn't going to be left alone forever.

So… yeah… I think it was a mixture of things? It's the culmination of 25, 26 years of friendship. They don't need to communicate with words anymore, they just understand what the other was trying to say instinctively. It's lots of things - thank you, you're doing well, we're going to complete this mission, we'll succeed in the end, everything will be ok - but it's also an abstract vibe of a very stoic thumbs up. In my opinion, anyway

#tkem #lee gon #jo yeong #look i don't even think this should have happened anyway #i think gon should have at least tried to stay with yeong and valued yeong above his uncle #but i wasn't writing it and sadly tkem isn't a gonjo story so… here we are #we have to make do with ambiguous nods where all we see is gon abandoning yeong #gotta love it #kitkat answers asks
