#they aren’t human not really

[bitchapalooza]

I’m curious, what is everyone’s take on nations being born? Do they just appear out of thin air like canon suggests? Do they birth or sire them themselves? Or are they born from humans, it being a long standing(or old depending on the time period ig) fear for parents finding out their newborn is a semi-immortal representation of their kingdom/empire/country to be?

I like all three theories depending on the narrative at play but I’m leaning towards the last one because it sounds cool now that I actually put it into words lol

#imagine you’re this 1600s woman so excited about you’re firstborn child #making a family with the one you love most in the world #but then after they’re born slowly you realize they aren’t aging as they’re supposed to be #they aren’t human not really #words gets out and suddenly your home is raided by knights your husbands uses his farmers’ strength #to keep them away your dear child #but he’s overwhelmed and outnumbered he’s knocked down #and you’re left on the floor empty handed as you weep for your stolen child #human or not #you think #you loved that child more than anything in the world #torn by the unlawful kidnapping you and your husband do not have another baby #you’re both forced to watch them grow up from afar without you #hetalia #hetalia headcanons

Prompt 263

Once More, we return to Tiamat prompts. 

It was a wonderful idea, really! If one of them couldn’t break the barrier, then surely their combined might would do it! And it had! It had worked, even if their remaining humanity was sacrificed. They’d done it, they’d made it where everyone could escape, could leave!

… Except for them. Someone had to close the portal. And it all would have been fine, if not for the remnants of the GIW. One last hail mary from the imbeciles, they all supposed. Trapping them here within the Zone. 

Separated from their families, from the pair of children they had agreed to raise. At least their siblings would watch over Ellie and Jordan. Kyle could hide them, make sure they were safe. Jazz… Jazz was gone, the final straw in this plan. 

They screamed, they raged, they destroyed in grief for those that didn’t make it, and for those who had but had nowhere to go. No portals opened, even as they tore at the green around them. They fought, any that thought they were weak, that they were merely a beast, an abomination trapped in chains of science and gold. 

There was nothing that could be done, Frostbite had said, sympathy in his voice. No way to turn back the clock with how entwined they had become, Clockwork had explained. The only thing they could do was wait, Pandora had tried to sooth, despite it doing nothing. 

They wrenched open the coffin in a hazy fury, tearing apart armies like it was blades of grass. Their maws devoured dead who had lost themselves and become mere husks and thralls, lashing tails ripping through armour like it was nothing. 

And then as titans, they clashed with the one who had once stolen the city here. There was no desperation from them this time, no armor besides scales unbreakable as flames and storms and ice and thorns ripped islands apart. There was no desperation besides that of their opponent’s. 

There was a pleasure in their victory, before it was wrenched away. What use was a crown when their family wasn’t there? When their daughter, their son, their children were not there by their side? 

Paulina laughed, hysterical as ectoplasm dripped from her maw as Kwan howled. Their body was covered in it, their rampage that had no use, no reason leaving a trail of destruction behind them. Is this what they wanted? 

No. 

Danny raised his head from the dissolving corpses to look towards the obliterated roof of the Keep, once so terrifying now turning to dust like the crown. The crown reforming above their heads, heavy and almost choking. 

They would carry this weight together. Would restructure things, would do what they had wanted to do for Amity before the Barriers. They’d work together to rebuild the Realms, make it safer, make it safe for those newly dead. 

No matter how long it took, no matter how hard it would be to fix the destruction they had wrought in this meaningless battle. (“Danny, you’re the spokesperson,” Sam spoke up, thorn-like scales ruffling. “You’re most familiar with the realms thanks to the Infinimap.” Fair. “We’ll need allies, we’re only nine people.”)

(“Let me talk to the egyptian afterlife,” Tucker sounded exhausted, hood folding back. “I’m most familiar with them… Star, Paulina, you’re both Princess Dora’s favorites-”)

(“We can do it. Just give us time.” “Maybe a to-do list.” “Clockwork. We need to talk to Clockwork, he’d be most familiar with this.” “Rest first, nerds. We’re all… exhausted.”)

(Valerie laughed tiredly, blades melting to heal a broken horn. “Time isn’t linear here Dash. You know that. I know that. For once we’re the ones with time to spare.” It would take years to get things up to snuff. Make things Safe for when they could bring their families here.)

Their eyes opened as the now flimsy chains shattered, a smile stretching across the shared face of their humanoid form. Soon. They could return to the mortal realm soon. Just a little more, and they could see their little ones.  They'd waited a thousand years, they could wait a few days more.

(also have sketch)

the gorgug-porter conversation is interesting to me because like. yea for the overwhelming majority of the conversation porter’s being shitty & trying to fit gorgug into a box that gorgug just does not fit into by trying to make gorgug’s relationship with his rage more focused on the aggression aspect of it. but then there’s also this specific thing that brennan brought up again in the ap, which is that gorgug’s relationship with his rage is wholly “this is a tool i use to protect my friends.” which isn’t a bad thing! but that’s his Whole relationship with it, & gorgug seems to place next to no value on his rage in relationship to himself. which is problematic, because it’s first & foremost his rage.

being raised in a household with a sort of toxic positivity largely meant that, whether or not it was his parents’ intention, gorgug internalized the message that more traditionally “negative” emotions such as anger are the wrong response to something. part of the reason he prioritizes his artificing is probably because it’s “fixing” things. in comparison to being a barbarian, which gorgug associates with “breaking” things. good vs. bad behavior, in his eyes.

it’s a totally unacceptable bar to measure a 16 y/o by, but i do think part of porter’s reasoning for not letting gorgug multiclass is him recognizing that gorgug generally does not value anger as a valid emotional response to something, at the very least for himself. & that directly conflicts with what being a barbarian is, because whether you like it or not, that rage is what fuels you. but again, barring a kid from pursuing something they deeply care about in part (not entirely, porter has a lot of more bullshit reasons) because of their fundamental values & world outlook is crazy.

so yes, 98% of porter’s reasoning is pretty shitty, immature, rife with a toxic view that there’s only one proper way to access rage, & generally not a good thing to do as a teacher, but also within that reasoning is the 2% of ‘there is a fundamental part of yourself that you only value if you can use it to take care of other people & you need to accept that as something that can take care of you, too.’ but that’s something to discuss with a therapist or a guidance counselor, not something that should hugely impact gorgug’s academic future.

#gorgug thistlespring #fantasy high #dimension 20 #fhjy #fhjy spoilers #btw these r just my personal opinions u r 100% free to disagree #gorgug & his rage interest me so deeply because of how deeply that rage existing seems to be against gorgug’s own will #like mechanically classes are choices & you can switch stuff around any time. but gorgug as a barbarian always felt like an unwilling choice #like that 14 y/o kid did not want to have rage. & that really interests me. #i’ve seen people before be like ‘what if gorgug dropped barbarian & went full srtificer’ but i feel like that simply can’t happen?? #mechanically yea sure but it always felt like a core part of gorgug that the rage will always be there & it’s a matter of how you channel it #idk. dnd classes narratively being treated as ‘you can not lose this part of you’ even though you technically can #gorgug could be lvl 19 artificer & he’d still have 1 level of barbarian. because that is part of who he is. #btw i don’t think porter truly cares about gorgug valuing his rage only as a way to be a human shield #i think porter just sees that as ‘wrong’ but like. not as in ‘you need to take care of yourself’ & more ‘you aren’t conforming’ #he thinks it’s wrong for the wrong reasons. the nastier ‘this is how you should be’ reasons #ppl being like ‘we r being too hard on porter. it’s an 150% courseload gorgug will be overwhelmed’ i think r missing the point bc like. #that is 100% a valid reason to not approve gorgug for multiclassing! but that’s also 100% not the reason porter rejected him. #that whole interaction was basically porter shoving his percieved version of conformity down gorgug’s throat. was v neurodivergent kid coded #no hate to anyone saying that last point btw these r all just opinions #thinking about last ep wilma & digby being like ‘you’re a great barbarian. you’re so great at it. but look at what you made!!!’ like. #they would never mean it like that. but when you only understand half of your son he is going to prioritize the half you do.

I actually love Vulcans’ self control and I love it when they’re portrayed as very purposely composed and level headed, like there’s just something about them appearing emotionless because they put in so much effort and discipline into it

But I do love jokes about the small things getting to them, like they’re perfectly in control of themselves after getting hit with some weird pollen while everyone else is affected but then later on you do a stupid lil pun and they have to walk away quickly so they don’t show any emotion

#I do ‘you’ because it’s how I write #but recently someone used one of my prompts to do one of those Vulcan x read*r posts #(censored so people actually trying to find that type of posts aren’t accidentally seeing this post instead) #and after that I’ve been aware of how my posts can kinda feed that kind of demographic #I also have to remember to reblog that post!!! #I’m so happy someone got inspired by one of my posts #I just want to read it first to make sure there’s no warnings I need to tag for just in case #having a hard time tho because I really don’t read 1st person pov y’know? #but I’m still so happy that person liked my post enough to use it for their writing!!!! #I also have to remember to look at their pronouns #Vulcans #Star Trek #do I tag humans? are humans the only one with puns?

[nationalnerdsociety]

reminder that famous people are also just some guy, don’t put them on pedestals, be aware that they are not perfect and remember, men ain’t shit

#joker out #i read a fanfic earlier that turned into very juicy gossip on the comment section #specifically about some joker out members #don’t worry it wasn’t anything super terrible #but it was a welcome reminder that while fandom is wonderful it’s also important to remember the humanity of the people involved #and really no one is perfect #no one #people aren’t black and white and sometimes they’re shitty #that doesn’t make them bad people humans just are like that sometimes and other times they do better that’s just how it is #she deleted the fic since so i’m not gonna share the tea here but yeah #critical thinking is a great skill to have and we should all use it more

the way she cares for other things makes me want to show her as much goodness as possible

#she is so gentle with everything and i want to keep it protected #the other day we were on a walk and there was a moth flapping it’s wings on the side walk and probably would’ve gotten stepped on but she #picked it up and was like ‘why aren’t you flying :(‘ and out of nowhere it flew out of her hands #sometimes we just need someone to lift us up like that #i really don’t care to be loved back… or like even liked… i don’t care if she’s only in my life for a little bit #i hope i’m someone who was placed in her path to show her as much goodness and kindness and compassion and love as possible #she’s given me so much inspiration and hope with just existing #i really needed that… i needed to know people like her exist… its healing a part of me that had lost faith in humanity and didn’t want to #live in a world with people who hate the people they love and have their own agendas and use and abuse each other and call it love #idk maybe i’m reading too much into it #but anytime i see the way she cares for her garden or her dogs or the feral cats or little bugs… it makes me want to protect that goodness #i don’t want anyone to come and take it from her i don’t want anyone to show her that being like that is wrong and weak #it’s the strongest thing anyone can do and i want to protect it i want to show her as much love back as i can

Owl House hot take

Lunter is better and make more thematic sense than Huntlow

Not saying I would’ve wanted Lunter to be end game, I love the found family dynamic they have and I love Lumity, but in my opinion it works way better than Huntlow as a Caleb/Evelyn parallel and makes way more sense for the story. Even purely platonically it just makes so much more sense that Hunter and Willow being implied to get together in the second to last episode of the show

#ik I’ve posted this before but I’m thinking about luz and hunter paralleling them again and i am not normal about it #again not saying I even actively ship Lunter I do not #I prefer them as found family #but even platonically it’s such a good parallel idk why everyone says #idk why everyone loves huntlow as that parallel it really just isn’t at all #the only way it’s kinda a parallel is if you say hunter = human (he isn’t) willow = witch #like she isn’t even the one to show him that wild witches aren’t what belos says they are #luz is!!! she saved him from that cult not willow!!!! #like how evelyn saved caleb!!!! #raghhh!!!!!!! I’m unwell about them!!!!!! #the owl house #toh #huntlow critical #huntlow neg #huntlow negative #huntl0w neg #<- trying to use every neg tag I’ve seen to be safe

The most terrifying question a person with tummy troubles can get: what food can you eat?

All thoughts immediately leave my head. What? No food. Don’t do that. Me, my food? You’ve probably never heard of it. You don’t want me to answer that. I’m moving to Antarctica.

#short answer: no garlic onion gluten or high fructose corn syrup #long answer: you don’t want the long answer. i don’t even want it. you’d have to become an amateur dietician to even get the gist of it #you’d need to pay for an app. and memorize a bunch of stuff and amounts #you’d have to read every label on everything. ​you’d have to learn that the FDA and the USDA have different rules for listing ingredients #do you want to know what a galacto-oligosaccharide is? do you really? #there aren’t even good infographics about it they’re all terrible #please just tell me where you want to get dinner so i can check the menu #please just ask me ‘hey what chips do you want’ or ‘where can i find a spice mix that works for you?’ #those have simple answers #‘what food can you have’ does not have a simple answer #i love that we’re humans and we show love through food but consider: #loving me through food is an exercise that requires in depth research and dedication or i will be up all night vomitting and shitting myself #sepulchritudinous #fodmap stuff

Do you have any survival advice for a lifelong WEST washingtonian moving to EASTERN washington

Don’t?

Learn your snakes because they actually have snakes over there that can hurt us unlike our one snake (I have never seen a rubber boa, ergo, they do not exist). Also learn what plants can hurt you and or your pets. If you have pets that go outside you gotta make sure they don’t harass rattlers (you can train dogs to find them scary. For a fun time just go out and learn about all of the new plants you’re gonna see. They’re so different from our west plants, even the trees!

Most of your neighbors will have voted red

Learn what to do in event of a fire because they have a lot more of those out there.

In my limited experience it’s a lot harder to find places to just wander into nature. So much stuff is posted. No houses for miles but you can’t walk through their sage brush. There is some nice BLM land out there though and some really cool parks

Watch out for deer going over blewitt pass

Uhhh that’s all I can think of rn followers feel free to add some

#there really is some beautiful stuff out there #it’s just that 90% of the year the weather isn’t suitable for human habitation #the mountains aren’t as bad and have some cool plants too #such different forests

There’s a character in the books called Nathan Nutcracker and I wanted to make a design for him because I think Cedar deserves a friend who can relate to her

#gave him white hair cause the nutcracker prince has a cotton beard I wasn’t brave enough to give him a beard #his outfit is meant to look like a scout uniform because I wanted it to have the same vibes as a soldier uniform but like younger #I have a headcanon that because nutcracker dolls aren’t really made to move around his movements are rigid and he’s not very articulated #cedar on the other hand has very fluid movement but has trouble balancing and staying upright because she’s a marionette made for strings #I wonder if nate was made a nutcracker or was a human transformed into a nutcracker like in the original story #cause I kinda get the vibe that it’s the former #little fun fact the nutcracker ballet is an adaptation of a novella-fairy tale #so even though he’s probably based on the ballet version he still fits the fairy tale theme #I’m pretty sure nate is supposed to be really small in the books but I forgot so he’s just a short king here #also I think he’d have a pet wind-up toy mouse called kingsley #rotomart #ever after high #eah #nathan nutcracker #nate nutcracker #cedar wood #eah nathan #eah nate #eah cedar #cedar ever after high #nate ever after high #nathan ever after high #also mouscedes cameo #pinocchio #the adventures of pinocchio #the nutcracker #the nutcracker and the mouse king #rotomart eah

at a certain point some people need to realise it’s not enough. they need to realise that they should feel some slight guilt for how much useless things they consume or how much plastic they throw out or how much meat or dairy they eat. at a point you have to look in the mirror and actually ask yourself if it’s necessary. capitalism is an evil system that thrives off of your human condition to feel guilt for your actions. it wants you to feel like the problem. however, that doesn’t execute individual responsibility. that doesn’t mean you don’t have to try. you are responsible for your actions and frankly if you don’t feel a bit bad about wasting money on something harmful, that’s concerning. you don’t get to say ‘no ethical consumption under capitalism’ and then do exactly what capitalism wants you to do. you should feel bad for unnecessarily consuming unethical products because you have a responsibility to be kind to others, not because you’re responsible for climate change and so on. you have a duty to give a fuck about others

#my post #bit of a rant-y post sorru #i’m just sick of seeing posts like ‘it’s okay if you buy fast fashion no ethical consumption blah blah’ #like unless you’re really broke then no! it’s not fucking okay and you should feel bad about it i’m sorry!! #you should feel bad about doing unnecessary bad-ness #no you aren’t responsible for the climate changing actions of billionaires #but you are responsible for community. you’re a human. you SHOULD feel bad knowing you’re harming others thru your actions #and of course this is a very very very nuanced discussion #if you need to make unethical choices to live then you do it #survival is important and i will throw punches at people who shame you for that #it only becomes a problem when it’s not necessary #vegan #veganism #go vegan #climate crisis #climate change

#my art #it’s mako mermaid au time let’s fucking go. but I ignored the iconic tail design from the show for reasons of fun. #grian #pearlecentmoon #geminitay #impulsesv #jimmy solidarity #goodtimeswithscar #cubfan135 #so pretty much how it starts is: Grian Pearl Gem Impulse and Jimmy are all mermaids. Scar and Cub work at a marine tours/museum type place. #cub’s in the museum area and scar leads diving tours off the mainland. they decide to look around the island to see if there’s anything the #should propose adding to the museum or tours. they spend the night and Scar falls into the moon pool. he gets dragged back to the surface #and figures it was a really weird dream so he and Cub go back to the mainland. meanwhile Gen Pearl Impulse Grian and Jimmy are freaking out #about what to do because a random human just fell into the moon pool during a full moon. they end up getting kicked out of the pod to go fi #this mess. Pearl ends up getting a moon ring from (undecided likely mermaid watcher character) and they end up getting legs via magic. #shenanigans ensue. it’s summer so they’re pretending to be tourists. and no they aren’t trying to track Scar down to kill him. just make hi #not a mermaid anymore. he probably won’t die from it. cub ends up finding out about the whole ‘scar is a mermaid’ thing pretty quickly and #decides to help out. especially with the whole hiding it while doing diving tours thing. more characters do appear but this lot’s the main #cast of the au. #by the way. fishy order is: sand devil shark- epaulette shark- orca(not a fishy)- clown loach- eviota sigillata- and guppy’s

i know its a joke but my autistic brain is going wild at that raccoon vs goose post. why would u ever take a raccoon in a fight over a goose. geese are mean sure but theyre FINE like theyre not really gonna do much damage. the most you’ll get from a goose attack is like a bruise and MAYBE a small cut if it claws you on a spot with no clothes covering skin. the most you’ll get from a raccoon attack is rabies and die

#remember: healthy raccoons never attack unless provoked. if you’re going into a wild raccoon den and you get attacked its kind of on you. #but if one comes out of nowhere and starts attacking you that is probably a rabid animal or at least has some other serious disease #because they do NOT do that normally #healthy geese will readily attack if you get too close to their nesting sites or their chicks bc they’re very protective parents #you can literally throw geese. the only thing they have to grab you with is their beak. yes they can fly at you but they have basically a #handle you can grab. their big fucking neck. once you grab their neck (easy) you can literally throw them away #and theyll back down bc it’s a display of power. but you should run away anyways #geese aren’t really gonna carry anything that will hurt you. bird flu doesn’t affect humans (although it does become an issue if you have #pets bc it can kill cats and dogs) but raccoons carry rabies which is 100% fatal #also raccoons are a lot harder to grab and get away from bc they’re faster than you think #raccoons can run up to 25 km/h. the high average of a human’s running speed is 13 km/h #dont risk it babe. as soon as you become symptomatic for rabies you’re dead #i am 100% putting way too much thought and energy into this. however i am autistic #rambles

read a post that classified?? explained??? the various ways kuukou’s been written across hipumai’s media and it made laugh lol so it went

stage:

DEMON

anime

functions on actual common sense

actually uses fundamental buddhist monk arguments

his father will tell him to do something and he will actually do it diligently

the kuukou with the least corrupt personality

arb

a completely pure individual. purity at its finest

he’s living his best life out here, the kinda guy that excitedly runs to his dad to show off his decorations, and had a blast celebrating halloween, christmas, hinamatsuri etc

adults tend to treat him to food

will also throw away the mattress his teammate sleeps on

the kuukou with the most corrupt personality

drama tracks/manga:

a healthy 19 year old that may have experience with women

the kinda guy who will sing a song like get busy and can also make a lady ghost experience nirvana

because of an intense and overwhelming love for his family, he will occasionally adopt a buddha-like tone of voice

he has a corrupt personality

#this is vee speaking #*nods* i see i see so that’s why i enjoy kuukou so much in arb #his duality is cranked 🆙 and he has the most fun with it LOL #the anime creating the most reasonable kuukou is hilarious to me lol #he’s a very comforting kuukou like he’s still a little strange but by nature i think of an ensemble anime #moments where he might make a left field decision aren’t really a thing #but on the flip side of that he’s having to be the human part of his personality lmao #so you get stuff like him sensing akira and satoru aren’t themselves we actually got to see kuukou interacting with temple patrons etc #it’s fun anime kuukou is tame fun lmao #the op coming to the conclusion that kuukou has experience with women is LOL but i mean listen!!!!!!!! #kuukou breaks the fourth wall he is connected to all universes he’s in so if he has a yume thru omnipresence he— #this isn’t the first time i’ve seen a kuukou stan equate stage kuukou to evil entities and it likely won’t be the last lmao #but it’s still ridiculously funny lmao #BUT LOOK AT MANS RANGE WHOS DOING CHAOTICALLY FUN LIKE HIM LOL
