Today I learned that the Pope has the right to appoint secret cardinals, and even the cardinals themselves may not realize that they now have a new position. Popes have the right to make the name public at any time, but if the Pope dies before the Cardinal's name is made public, the individual ceases to be a Cardinal.

Yes, Catholicism is weird.

But more importantly, there is only one person in the world who can prove that I am not a cardinal.

.

#I've heard of those #stuff is complicated as is and the rules and canon have varied a lot throughout history #don't quote me on this but I believe in order to be eligible to become a cardinal these days you have to be an unmarried catholic man #between the ages of 30 and 75 #and an ordained priest at minimum even though in practice all cardinals are bishops or archbishops #but I also think the pope as the sovereign leader has the power to appoint anyone at least in theory #and historically the requirements have been a lot looser popes would create cardinals pretty haphazardly #nepotism was exceedingly common every pope would want to surround himself with relatives friends and allies #at least a few popes allegedly made their lovers into (largely incompetent) cardinals back in the day #answered #anonymous #not that I know anything but everything I've read about the renaissance holy see has immense chaotic energy

i like how the books tell us strahd is attracted to kind women who would take care of him and then the camera pans over to his wives, who are all fucking insane

#curse of strahd #cos #teddie be quiet! #strahd doesnt know it but his type #is women who not only have the potential to kill him #but would if given the chance #i could make a long post about WHY strahd thinks he wants a kind woman & then doesnt actually go for them #involving his mommy issues and gender roles and strahds entitlement as a conqueror #but i will spare us all i think #also i make a lot of stuff up so i think the books mention this. im like 75% sure

this is by no means a new or original observation but it does still kind of blow my mind how many peoples politics are almost solely governed by what inconveniences them personally. "but if we raise minimum wage fast food will cost more" "but charging for plastic bags is annoying" "but universal health care and better funding for schools would raise taxes" "but i dont want to give up my giant gas guzzler" like its all so purely about them with no sense of a greater good or helping other people. blows my mind

#i fully acknowledge that a lot of policies and stuff i agree with are annoying and expensive #that doesnt mean i want to not do them because i care about people and the environment. thats worth a lot more than 75 cents for a bag #or having to schedule an appointment to get my car smog tested

hmm if I created a comic/webtoon, should I upload it only on webtoon, or like create another blog just to post it? I mean I could do both probably, webtoon in general kinda sucks and It'd be cool for my comic to be accessible in other places too...

#I'm like 75 percent done drawing the pilot chapter #i have to color it tho #and start the script for the technical first chapter #pilot is just val and sam fucking around #first chapter is how they meet pretty much #started drawing the pilot in febuary but had to pause it for college apps 😔 #the thing is that I don't really plan on having a consistent upload schedule bc this isn't like a full time thing #and id also like to enjoy my youth #idk... i'm just drawin stuff for now

'it's genocidal to call for an end of Israel where do you want us to go' stay where you are or don't, who gives a shit. you just can't be the only group represented in political authority. you just don't have the right to perform genocide or land capture. you just can't be the boot stamping on everyone else's necks. 🤷‍♀️

the state is not the people. if you don't want to leave Palestine live in Palestine. but Israel does not have a right to exist and you do not have a right to stand above others by the circumstances of your birth. you do not have a right to continue to profit from an ongoing genocide. you do not have a right to supremacy. you do not have a right to gain your comfort at the direct cost of thousands of lives next door. you do not have a right to be colonial overlords. you do not have a right to an ethnostate or a theocracy. you do not have the right to continue to sell on and pass on and profit from land and resources legally gatekept from everyone outside your specific group. you do not have a right to use immigration law to prevent people from returning to their homes while continuing to artificially cultivate a Jewish majority. you do not have a right to displace people to get what you want. you do not have a right to ownership. you have a right to live in safety but you don't have a right to pay in other people's lives for that. and you don't have a right to rule. and Israel does not have a right to exist.

Jews were in Palestine before 1914 and Jews will be in Palestine after Palestine is freed. but as equal citizens not as colonial overlords.

#red said #is it simple to examine stuff like the reappropriation of land and wealth given that we're 75 years out from the nakba? #no it's very not simple #is it simple to identify a difference between 'these people should not be the only group represented in government and law' #and 'these people should die or be driven into the wilderness'? YEAH IT IS DUDE. YOU ARE NOT THE STATE OF ISRAEL. #you are not your unearned power over others #fuck you for putting a hypothetical genocide of the people YOU think matter over a CURRENTLY HAPPENING genocide of CURRENTLY DYING people #trauma is trauma but how much imaginary devastation is worth a single actually real life let alone tens of thousands #how many Palestinian lives is it worth to you to allay your fears of harm potentially coming to your people? #30 000? 300 000? 3 000 000? for a hypothetical Israeli to avoid hypothetical retributive violence or hypothetical displacement? #you're a morally bankrupt piece of shit putting imaginary future harm up against the actual murders of the equivalent pop of whole cities #and you can wish for the end of Israel without wishing for the deaths or displacements of Jews. #thinking they're the same thing is at best confusing life with power

sorry if u already answered this question, but how do you scan your art? like via phone or a printer or smth else? It looks so good!🙏

I usually scan with a flatbed scanner in 400dpi, as I found it gave me the nicest quality without being too large, but 300dpi is also fine.

The secret to getting good scan quality is Know Thy Printer. Every scanner has its unique traits you want to compensate for, be it low contrast, over saturating, or washing out colours. My great art hack is adjusting for this post scan! I found duplicating and multiplying the layer (fading opacity based on need) helped fix a *lot* of issues with the ink scanning ‘washed out’.

#ask #art faqs #cause I have a few more asks like this to answer and expect to have more #I have actually switched scanners a *lot* over the run of this blog #i kinda live a nomadic lifestyle and dont stay in one place permantly so its a necessity to borrow a scanner when I can #i actually have memorized/writen down the exact numbers for adjustments for each scanner i frequent #but after a while you can develop a sense of what settings you need to pull up #i use a cracked copy of Sai; the one I last used needs +12% contrast adjustment and multiply on 75% #stuff like that! #ive also has a scanner than needed 25% colour adjust and 50% multiply #it takes a bit of playing around with to get familiar but wow its made a difference #Id say the multiplied layer adjustment is the most key aspect into getting a clean scan! Higher contrast to sharpen edges! #Lots of free programs can do that too!

My Thoughts on Spy x Family Chapter 75

Warning: This post contains spoilers for Chapter 75 of the manga

Firstly, the stellas were very much deserved all around. All four of them were very brave the entire time, and even though I think Anya and Damian each deserved an extra stella for the bomb collars around their necks, I wouldn't be surprised if Eden has a policy of not giving out more than one stella at a time to each student.

Becky wanting to use the event to launch her singing career is hysterical and honestly a very 6-year-old thing to do.

Now for the parents' reactions:

Mr. Blackbell wins 2nd place in the Most Concerned Parent Contest. He was literally ready to go to war for her and started bawling the moment she was safe.

The Anya/Yor reunion was sweet and went down pretty much as I expected. I am glad Anya got to break down and cry now that she and everyone else are safe.

Twilight's reaction was kinda underwhelming, but I'm banking on him just absolutely breaking down once he gets back home. He's probably still running on adrenaline and hasn't really processed anything yet.

But Melinda. Holy shit. This woman is complicated. Where do I even start with her?

I'm noticing how the positive, caring thoughts/emotions come first, and then are followed by the appallingly cold stuff. It's like her first, instinctual reaction is to love and worry for Damian, but she's desperately trying to convince herself she doesn't care.

Interestingly enough, the way she's talking here makes me wonder if she is Donovan's second wife. Not once has Melinda ever mentioned Demetrius, even with the Mommy Club. She did, however, bring up Damian in conversation with Yor.

If she is indeed Mrs. Desmond No. 2, then I'm very curious ab what might have happened to her predecessor. Her being Donovan's second wife would potentially explain the seemingly large age gap between Demetrius and Damian.

It also seems like she didn't want children, or at least didn't want to have children in this particular relationship. Given what we know of Donovan and what we now know of Melinda's psyche, I think its safe to say he is at the very least emotionally abusing his family and quite possibly doing much worse. He seems like the type to pull some messed up psychological shit. It would make sense imo for Melinda to not want to bring kids into that kind of household. But I can imagine her wishes not being respected, partly bc of societal pressure and partly bc Donovan doesn't seem to care what anyone else wants.

That might explain her abrupt attitude switch, if she has loads of Donovan-related trauma. She literally went from Yuri-levels of devotion to and obsession over her son to wishing he'd died in the hijacking within like 0.1 seconds after Donovan was mentioned. She even calls him "that man" instead of "my husband" or "your father", which is honestly very telling.

I wonder if Melinda trying to convince herself she doesn't care about Damian is so that Donovan can't use him against her. If this is the case, then Donovan getting wind of her actual feelings towards Damian could be disastrous for them both. This of course doesn't excuse her behavior in the slightest, but is one interesting theory to explain her mental and emotional state.

Melinda seems to think that Damian's existence traps her in the Donovan household. She both loves him because he's her son and resents him because he keeps her tied to a waking nightmare, hence her wishing he'd died in the hijacking. She probably thinks that if he'd died, they'd both be free. If she didn't have him to worry about, she would likely run away to the in-universe equivalent of Italy or something. I can't imagine her being happy in her current situation.

All in all, I'm starting to think that living in the dorms is really the safest, healthiest option for the Desmond kids. They may face ridiculously high expectations, but at least they have a solid routine and aren't in a house where they have to wonder if their parents actually care for their well-being.

I think it would be fascinating if at some point Melinda suffers a breakdown and ends up a patient of everybody's favorite psychiatrist, Loid Forger. What other kinds of issues lurk beneath the surface of her mind?
