Hey Tumblr here’s my first Actual Post hope ya like it:

Do you have ADHD and/or autism? Do you have a problem with noticing people messaged you, thinking, “I like that person, I should reply! But I don’t have the energy right now. I’ll remember to get back to them later,” and then never speaking to them again?

Well boy, do I have a thing-some-people-people-might-call-a-hack-and-might-help-you-but-it-also-might-not-solve-a-single-fucking-thing for YOU! That wasn’t a hyperlink, but I applaud your instincts.

Ready? I know, you skipped down here as soon as you saw the red text anyway. Don’t open it.

Don’t!

Dooooon’t!

DON’T DO IT

That red notification thing? That little berry your lil hunter-gatherer brain wants you to pluck RIGHT NOW or you’ll never eat again and you’ll die?

Don’t you dare pick it, you little shit. THAT berry. That specific one. You saw the name. That’s all you needed. Think about it. I mean consciously sit there and think about that berry for a second.

That’s now a special berry. You do not touch that berry until you want another goddamn berry and you’re ready to go foragin’.

“But they might think I’m rude if I don’t at least give them a read receipt!”

No the fuck they won’t. They’re gonna think you’re rude when you send em a signal that you never wanna talk to them again.

No read receipt, no perceived rejection on their end. They’ll just think you were at work, or were driving, or in the middle of the hottest sex they can imagine. (Those three options specifically.)

But you know better. You know you have that special berry that you’ve made a very incredibly specific plan to pick later.

Here’s an entirely unrelated meme to break up the post into more digestible chunks for you.

Accidentally open that notification up because you were scrolling through the Discord and monkey brain got too powerful to resist for a minute?

You now have permission to be weird. Don’t worry, everybody knows you’re weird anyway. Act the part. Do one of these little jams:

Honey you just miraculously put that berry back on the bush. You’re an affront to nature and you will soon dethrone G-d for daring think berries can not go back on bushes.

*sigh*

I know, you probably already have thousands of berries built up from weeks, months, even years of avoiding all contact.

Do the following now, honey. Right now. You operate best on now.

Go through and tap and clear everything. Do it fast. Don’t think too much. Just gobble up all the berries you can. Try to keep an eye out for berries you wanna eat later and drop one of the Little Jams worded in whatever way feels most appropriate for the time it’s been since that last message arrived. Again, don’t overthink it. Keep it short if you have to. It’s better than what you’ve been doing.

Conclusion paragraph. That was all I had to say. Now read it again, you didn’t actually register half of what I said. If you didn’t do the purge thing when I said so, reblog this so that when somebody interacts you’ll get another berry that tells you to go clear your berries.

How goes it, Rotumblr? Name’s Deacon. I’m kind of a survival extraordinaire, if I do say so myself. Been huntin, foragin, and farmin my whole life.

I come from waayy out west of Unova. A desert and prairie like environment, you could say. My family owns a homestead out there. One day I hope to settle down, and build my own.

I don’t really rely on ‘mons to do my dirty work, but I do have a few I keep with me.

Rango the Kecleon, my scout. He blends in pretty damn well, making huntin easy work. I caught this lil guy on my family’s homestead, when I near trampled him and startled the ‘mon into de-camouflaging.

Spud, my Arcanine. Raised him from a small egg I found abandoned, when I was patrollin the homestead. His egg was hardly larger than a potato, hence Spud. He was a runt I assume, cause even when I gave the pup a fire stone, he ain’t grown all that much. Despite his size, he’s a hoothootin good battler.

Mahogany the Mudsdale. My loyal steed, and daughter of a show horse my family owned. My family breeds show horses, but Mahogany didn’t make the cut, making this big gal a gift for lil me.

Over time I'm sure I'll snag a couple more 'mons, but for now this is my humble lil team.

//medium stakes and tw for poke death. mans gotta eat, after all.

//ill be the first to say my pokemon knowledge isn’t the best, im still learning lol, so pardon any inaccuracies

//this is more of an ask blog, not an hyper literate roleplay blog. treat it just like youre interacting with deacon online.

//im not really an artist, so any draw overs will be subpar lol

//all ic hate, and types of mail are on. magic anons are on but filtered.

//picrew, hair normal and hair slicked back.

imagine 2 of each bear (black, brown, panda, and polar) in the 4 corners of the u.s. they are going to the center of the u.s. for glorious battle to determine who is the best bear. on their way, they are mating to expand their army exponentially. once they meet in the middle, who would win?

Extremely good question and I am glad you asked.

Obviously there are several factors to consider, so as a trained astrophysicist my first instinct is to ignore as many as possible. So first of all, I'm assuming we're talking the continental united states and therefore the geographic center thereof in Lebanon KS. I'm assuming that we're looking at corners in roughly Bangor, Maine; Seattle, Washington; Miami, Florida; and San Diego, California. I am almost positive this distribution shouldn't have a major impact, but to ensure fairness let's distribute them in what's as close as possible to their home ranges. For the polar bear this is the trickiest since their range doesn't extend that far south, but it's closer to Maine than it is to Washington, for the Brown bear, it's a little out of home in Seattle but not in Washington but that's not going to matter, the black bear can live in Florida and that leaves the Pandas in San Diego which they are not native to, but since they aren't native to North America we can imagine these escaped from the San Diego Zoo's wonderful panda exhibit. The only useful piece of information I'm deriving from all of this is that it's 1440 miles driving from San Diego to Lebanon, KS, I'm not going to bother checking the other locations and instead we can just adjust the starting locations to get that distance right, it's not direct but it does reflect the geographic contours well enough, we can use that as our baseline distance for all four bears plus now we can imagine this scenario more fully in our heads, which is always a plus.

So now we've got a few more questions to answer, firstly, how long is it going to take them to get there? The Pandas are going to be a major outlier and we'll get to them later, but for now let's take the Grizzly as the median bear out of the other two, they can run at a top speed of about 35 mph, but have a more comfortable canter at about 3 m/s which is a bit under 7 mph, given the distance they're traveling it's going to require a little over 200 hours of travel time to get to the geographic center of the US for the three more normal bears. Assuming that they spend no more than 6 out of every 24 hours traveling and the rest of the time covers the fuckin' and huntin' and foragin' that'll be required to establish these bear armies, but it also leads me to my next worrying point which is that if these bears are dedicated to getting there, even at pretty casual paces, that's only 800 hours, which is slightly over a month. The problem that leaves us with is that no bear has a gestation period of under a month, we're looking at a range of 6-9 months (nice) on the three bears in question, which means that of those three non-panda bears, each will only end up in the middle of the country with the pair they started with, and we'll get to them in a bit but first it's time to consider the outlier: the Giant Panda.

As mentioned before, the Giant Panda is the only one in this selection not native to North America, and only recently were proven to be True Bears, sharing taxonomic qualities with the Raccoon family as well, it is most basal species of bear, being equidistant from all other living bears in terms of relations and the furthest back to branch from the common ancestor. It's also a bit of a head-scratcher because they have to spend half their lives, as in 12 hours out of every day, eating because they eat a very inefficient food source in the form of bamboo. They're also noticeably slower, traveling in general at a calm 1.5 miles per hour, moving an average of less than a mile per day because most of it is back and forth foraging for food, but if they're dedicated and aim all of it in one direction that means they can manage the trek from San Diego in a cool 960 hours of traveling, and given their absurd diet and the need to sleep and do other things as well, it's likely they can't spend more than 3 hours of their 24 doing the traveling, but let us assume that rather than them having escaped from the San Diego Zoo this whole experiment is orchestrated by zookeepers gone mad with power, but of course they're still zookeepers so let's at least make sure that the pandas have a traveling food source to account for the fact that they can't hunt and forage in North America for what they eat because otherwise the answer here is 'they starve and do not impact the bear fight', but that also means that the 960 hours of travel time will translate into a fuller 7,680 hours of regular time given all their other needs, this is still only 320 days, and given that they have a gestation period of an average of 4.5 months, is enough for two of those, let's ignore basic biology some more here (I'm an astrophysicist not a gynecologist) and imagine that somehow means our panda could show up with two litters of cubs but they'd do so about nine months late.

So this leaves us with six more normal bears who have shown up in the middle of the country, from here there's two general classes of outcome that I think are the most likely, although by no means does this cover every possibility. The first is that the three sets of bears form a sort of uneasy truce in the middle of the country waiting for the pandas to show up and deck it out in the agreed-upon four way brawl that was set up. The second is that the bears who show up duke it out and the winner takes on the Pandas. I do not think these are substantively different scenarios, given that the pandas are not built for fighting or hunting in the slightest they aren't going to be a major impact on the actual battle so much as the major factor in the time component of this question, in either case whatever bears are taking on the Pandas will only have one set of cubs, given that those 6-9 month gestation periods can't occur twice in the 10 month period we're looking at EVEN if we ignore biology as all physicists are inclined to do, but most bears reach maturity around three or four years so no one but the original pair will be contributing cubs to the fight.

When it comes to the three bears I'm not going to waste too much of your time, the size and strength of these three bears from least to most is Black, Brown and then Polar. Black bears have wider ranges and are more adaptable but Brown Bears are bigger and stronger than them by enough that won't matter. Polar Bears are bigger and stronger still, and once again would kick the Brown Bear's asses. There's a million ways it could theoretically go, of course, and any given day any given fighter can win any given fight, but on average you'd expect the polar bear to dominate the three way melee, the only question is if the Panda's extra litter of cubs matters and I'm going to once again skip to the easy answer: no polar bears eat meat almost exclusively, the tools they have at their disposal are just not going to be stopped or stoppable by a plant-eater even one with genuine claws like the Panda.

Unfortunately, the distance they're traveling just isn't enough for the time to add up to let the exponential growth be an important factor here so it's primarily a question of which bear wins in a fight and that's a pretty known answer among bear enthusiasts (not that kind, although shout out to the other kind of bear enthusiast too!) This is a fantastic question and I'm glad you asked it, but I think we might need to look at larger distance scales for the armies to be truly mighty by the time they arrive, you'd want at least 4 years, say, so that a second pair of bears comes online, as it were, and working backwards from that we're looking at a year's travel time and at 7 mph, we're looking at about 61,000 miles or about a quarter of the way to the moon, in fact a walk to the moon and back might just be the right distance to make both combat strength and the breeding speed (for which the non-polar bears do have some advantages) come into account but before the number of bears becomes the dominant factor (which Pandas might be able to compete in, ignoring the historical realities of the situation; they do at least have shorter gestation periods by a noticable factor)

#lmao always feel free to send asks like this I enjoy a fun thought experiment #You can also see here that if I messed up in the distance or speeds by a factor of like 5 or less it should still be the same #Like the numbers would change but pretty clearly the overall picture wouldn't really #Since cubs are not productive fighters

Memory: “watchin Romeo finly tell Finch how him fel. Took im long tim”

Comfort Item: “Me favrit sweata. Stol it from Mush n it real warm”

Specs’ real name is Julian Samuels

They use they/them pronouns

They got their nickname because they wear glasses and they joined the newsies before Dutchy

Specs and Dutchy get their glasses mixed up

It got to the paint where Specs started decorating theirs so they could find them easier

Specs still manages to lose their glasses constantly

Specs is the “go getter”, somehow has everything you need

Suspenders break in the middle of hawkin, Specs knows how to give it a quick fix

Hurt yourself on the job? Specs knows how to bandage you up

Does your bag have a hole in it where you’re losin your coins? Specs can sew it up

They really like plants, especially flowers and mushrooms

They know what plants are safe to eat and which are poisonous, this comes in handy when they’re low on money for food

They know how to make flower crowns and will usually make some to sell while hawkin papes

If Specs had a modern day aesthetic it would be light and dark academia

Specs and Romeo used to date

It was sweet and wholesome, but Specs could see the way Romeo looked at Finch so they broke it off

They still remained close friends though and Romeo often goes to Specs for advice or when he’s having a rough mental health day

Specs encouraged Romeo to tell Finch how he felt

Specs went to see Crutchie when he was sent to the refuge

If Crutchie wasn’t so stubborn about being helped, they would’ve busted him out

Specs came back to check on Crutchie regularly and also would sneak him food whenever possible.

They would help Crutchie come up with pranks to pull on Snyder to help get back at him

To this day nobody knows how Specs was able to sneak in and out so easily, but it’s clear they know how to pick locks

Specs is really kind. They enjoy doing favors for the other newsies and just want to make everyone’s life a bit easier

That being said, DO NOT underestimate them. They’re incredibly smart and know what they are doing

There are very few things Specs dislikes

One is the refuge, obviously

The other thing they feel quite strong about is that the skin on apples is disgusting. 

They would often borrow a knife and peel all the skin off before eating their apple

Everyone else thought they were strange for this, but eventually they saw it so many times it became second nature to peel an apple before handing it over to them

”Hey!….Moose.”

The air is so thick you’d likely be able to cut through it. Ozzy hugged back, he enjoyed Moose’s hug. Ozzy smiled for a solid minute before shouting

“OH!…Hi how ares you?…”

he smiled nervously.

Moose: uh great! M’ good!

You both stare at each other, before you two break out into a fit of giggles

Moose: stars we know each other, we gotta get over this heh ////// anyways come pick outta basket. M’ takin ya foragin’

Spring is in the air. There’s still pockets of snow around, but also many patches of green new growth in the forest. Only the mountains are still covered.

On mooses’ porch are a half dozen woven baskets, all have clearly seen use over the years.

This is Mossy. He’s a shy hermit who lives in the middle of a huge forest. And he loves mushrooms.

Ooh, look! He’s climbing down! Maybe he’ll show us the best mushroom foragin’ spots, he probably knows the forest really well.

...O-oh...he was just grabbing a few fresh shrooms from his garden...he’s been staring at us like that for a while now...we should leave...

💭 + ropes 💭 + heroes

Send 💭 + a topic and my muse will tell you what they think about it.

heroes

"heroes are somethin' people look up to; idolize for their accomplishments and deeds. someone to look for when the goin' gets tough, y'know. their concept and the existence of 'em has never bothered me, i've heroes of my own i admire.

... but bein' called one myself? it's never felt right." he just wanted to live his life; see the world in its entirety and make a name for himself in the process. be successful and do well, be a son his mother could be even more proud of. in a sense, he got what he wanted.

"it's like a set of expectations thrown over your shoulders, a weight ya never wanted to carry while the world looks towards you as a saviour for their problems.

-- but the title of 'hero' isn't somethin' ya can give yourself. it's what the people make of you; it's their choice. like it or not, it's how they see me."

his smile is bittersweet, an acceptance of what he would be despite his thoughts going against it.

"i've had a long time to think about it, and it's not somethin' i can keep cryin' about. i won't consider myself a hero, per se, but i will walk on as a beacon of hope when someone needs it. i'll be the risin' sun for their 'morrow." the smile on his face widens somewhat, "sometimes, people need a hero to reach for. so i say let them."

ropes

"i'm no stranger to 'em, if that's what ya wanna know."

a brow quirks as he answers, head tilting with increased curiosity. "i've had them used to restrain me for more serious reasons, sure, but i've had more experience with 'em elsewhere." the crooked grin he wears spread wider, hands confidently resting on his hips.

"--like 'bo wranglin', for starters!" let's kill the haughty air for a quick minute. "or fastenin' foragin' supplies together, wagon cargo. climbin', too, of course! ropes are a handy tool for many things."

then comes a pause, a slyness seeping into the smirk he carried while a half-lidded stare looked on. arms were outstretched, wrists brought together in an example display. "... i've had my fun with 'em, too." arms raise, wrists still side by side, and then they're held above his head. he allowed his body to curve to emphasis the dip of his waist, a leg stepped out in front of the other. "above, behind -- i'll wear 'em like a suit, if ya let me."

"suspend me in the air, even!" a pause, his arms finally dropping. "or let me be in charge of 'em all together."
