#They say they want to save the planet

[sleepgarden]

new headdress I'm working on for my shop. Lambkin, the pet name varré gives us in elden ring, is such a cute word. The pink yarn is very light against the cream, it's hard to capture but it "blushes" in light, almost disappearing under certain angles and light! Accented with antique lace, and it'll have a gorgeous matching ribbon and bows.

I haven't posted any personal work in a while so here's something I'm taking time on for myself ^-^

#Making egl garments has been a long time dream of mine... imagine I had cute little sleepgarden brand tags #Maybe someday.. #I'm going to be more realistic with my pricing going forward too. I have two other pieces planned #But im going to release things one by one as I make then instead of saving them to post multiple at a time I think. #Esp since I have less time lately. Anyways #I have another needlepoint that says pluto because I've been loving that word. It's so fun to say #It's in a delft blue colour in a different font. It'll probably be a belt cover #Idk who would want something that says pluto on it but I'll throw it out there for any planet and roman mythos fans lol #Okay enough rambling. I've been going through it. As always. My work has been falling behind though. It's nice to have something to share! #Goodnight ♡

literally any public discourse about what a 19 year old girl should or shouldn't have said to the violent misogynist sex trafficking serial abuser 2x her age who was harassing her is stupid I got so mad opening the news and immediately being bombarded w thinkpieces about how shes a hero or problematic or everything inbetween like none of that is news...

#sorry for logging on making 1000 psots and immediately leaving sorry #she couldve gone to his house n killed him n i would say good for her and moved on #making it news and commentary like. ppl r dyingggg #the only take is that it's really fucked up she had to do that and he should be in jail forever #and we should work harder the protect young ppl in thr public eye esp young women #the way ppl treat her is so fucked up like shes just public property #it's not even like she's a celeb she was literally just a kid who wanted to save the planet #like a 40 year old woman making a 19 year old autistic girl her activism idol/avatar is also fucked up to me. #leave her alone and start recycling and taking the train and refusing to attend destination weddings..

i wish i had more collected and intellectual thoughts on jim and la’an. instead my brain just screams about them all the time

#ohhhh what if i was so cynical of everything. what if i was frigid and closed off and so afraid of other people #and i met someone with a passion for the universe. who loved everything and saw the beauty in it all. and just wanted to explore. #now am i talking about jim or la’an #my fave thing 2x03 does is subvert their traditional roles/characterisations #jim is suddenly that hardened survivalist who needs no one; la’an is wide eyed optimist who believes in the universe’s beauty #bc au jim is from another time!! where there is no earth for him to love!! there is so spock to keep him steady!! he’s lost his brother!! #and his planet!! and in turn his hope and awe #vs la’an from trek’s usual “”utopia“” who now has to convince jim HER timeline is worth saving #‘you could be an explorer’….. she says it with such wistfulness. wanting that role for herself in her own timeline #and YES ofc au jim is also full of whimsy and la’an is still very stiff but that hotel scene makes me crazyyyyyyy #i love how they make jim into the battle hardened soldier. and la’an has to become the beacon of hope #i think that makes her realise a lot about herself :) #i could talk about this episode alone for hours lol but i won’t bc i was meant to go to bed soon #me being like oh maybe i can get an early night :) BOOM struck down by noonirk thoughts #star trek #star trek snw #james kirk #la’an noonien singh #noonirk #ka’an #kirk x la'an

Steve is most likely to end up in a lavender marriage and Tony's most likely to end up in a “married for tax/immigration/inheritance fraud” reasons.

They meet as married men and pine for each other hardcore and are also trying not to read too much into how their interest seems reciprocated and oh nooooo both Immigration/the IRS and the the Church/in-laws/DADT era army dudes or whatever are snooping around at the same time at each of their marriages and they have to be so good at being married at the people they are married to oh noooooo and they other guy doesn’t know why they are suddenly being iced out and maybe they were just imagining things? maybe it’s for the best with all these eyes around on them…

#not to get too real but i love queer people. we see each other and we save each other #i wish i could talk in depth about this lgbtq history panel i went to tonight without doxxing myself #but basically all of these panelists were older gay ppl & one of them won a very monumental court case in the state #and right after introductions one of the other panelists turned to her and thanked her so profusely for the sacrifices she had made #and the work she did to win that case #and that by achieving that win for herself she paved the way for this other panelist to have her own family recognized legally by the state #i don't know i'm not explaining it well but something about knowing and seeing that gratitude in real time. understanding so viscerally tha #so much of our history has happened within one or two lifetimes. to the point that many of the champions of our current rights are alive #today for us to learn from and listen to and THANK #i met two nb ppl through school last year and have since become very close to them #they are the only two ppl on this planet who use my pronouns the way i want them to be used. they switch it up every time and i love them #a little bit more each time i hear them talk about me. it's magical #my childhood best friend told me he liked boys and girls like a month after we first met each other in the fourth grade #he told me there's a word for that; he's bisexual #i think abt how incredible that was a lot. how brave he was to say that and to own that and how long it might have taken me to figure #out that i was the same had he not said it. #anyway all this to say that yes absolutely i love this #steve and tony meet at a military gala. steve's being recognized for his service and tony and his wife were invited by some higher-up who #imagined he could use the event as a way to cozy up to him and earn some good favor before negotiations start on SI's contract renewal #their eyes meet while steve's up on stage. he hates these things. hates being dragged into the spotlight. he feels naked and bare and #vulnerable every time. trapped in enemy territory with no cover. but he sucks it up he kisses his wife on the cheek and she smiles #big and beautiful; perfect like they've run their lines 1000 times over. like they could recite each other's parts by heart #he makes his way to the podium. breathes deep to center himself before he launches into his thankless thank-yous. steve's a terrible liar #but somehow he's made it this far in his career. he can manage for one more night. except #right as he lifts his eyes to speak he sees him. bright eyes burning into his from a shadowed table in the corner. the brass speaking at hi #on his left and a lovely woman who's bored and unimpressed on his right. and him looking directly back at steve #steve's breath catches and he chokes on air. trips on his lines. forgets himself and loses the beat of the scene #he looks down at his notes and ignores them. raises his face to the light and plays himself to be seen by an audience of one. #anon #signed sealed delivered

Man I love gtn but no one ever talks about how the dynamic between gideon and harrow is impacted by the fact that gideon is basically a slave. Crux even calls her "chattel" at one point, and she has been an indentured servant of the house and of harrow for her whole life. I don't really have a point but. Kinda fucked up if you think about it

Interesting you mention that because I've seen it discussed very often, both in canon and among the readers! Harrow straight up says "I have taken you to this killing field as my slave" in her big pool scene monologue. Ianthe and Gideon discuss it in HtN, with Ianthe claiming that she and Harrow are a better match because they are equals as opposed to the oppressive cav/necro dynamic. The power dynamic between them is VERY fucked up in the beginning, and the author intended that so that she could flip it around later. Gideon's journey to becoming lyctorship fodder is accepting what she's been told her entire life, that she is nothing but fuel to keep the Ninth House going, while Harrow's journey is rejecting this with her entire heart and doing everything in her power to stop it from happening, even if it means the failure of her own life goals and dreams. She even has 3 different AUs in her head where their dynamic is totally flipped, or maybe even equal. Ugh I am rambling but I love this story so much fbdkjsabkj

#eernask #eernanon #eernask talk tlt #there is that one really good post abt the aus that discusses how the earliest au is just a reverse situation of their dynamic #with gideon being the one in control and harrow the indentured servant #the second is gideon being the heiress to the empire while harrow is a poor reverend daughter trying to save her planet #and the third is them as equals meeting at a coffee shop for the first time. no tension. no fear. just 2 girls existing at the same time. #what does that say about how harrow sees gideon. what she wanted for them. punching a wall

Dearest,

I would rather have millions of arrows shoot through my heart than see you upset with me. The fact I'm why you're upset makes my heart snap and twinge. I'd rather die a thousand deaths over and over again than to live with that fact. You are art and I love art oh so much, I would love to spend years just to paint you and you alone. May i use you as my canvas? May I have the honor of painting you with the color of my lipstick and the color of the little nibbles I snuck in our intimate moments? Would you bestow this honor upon me darling?

No context I just wanted to write some stupid shit down before i forgot my writing exercise for the day

#Shout out to my nonexistent lover we been going 4 years strong😝🤞🤞 #I swear plz I need someone to love me or I'll explode. #This is just everywhere lmaooooo💀💀💀 #But okay lol #My God I'm so lonely so I opened up a window to hear sounds of people. #Venus planet of love was destroyed by global warming- #Did it's people want too much too? Did it's people want too much?And I don't want your pity‐I just want somebody near me. #Guess I'm a coward? I just want to feel alright 😝 And I know no one will save me; I just need someone to kiss.Give me one good honest kiss #And I'll be alright #Nobody nobody nobody nobody nobody #OK I'm done lololol #Yall didn't need to hear all this or in ur case read bc the only thing hearing me say these words as I write is my cats #Yeah funfact I talk as I write so i dont forget what I was gonna write.

here with another song. this one makes me think of Vash

it's about the Exhaustion. the eternal work to keep going despite the weight on your soul. the way death can sound so sweet in comparison to the current horrors of your life... but you keep going anyways, because there are things left to do.

and you cant even let yourself show that sadness. that Fear. because it's not what's expected of you. you can't show that vulnerability to people, and so you put up a facade to hide it all away.

you're still going, you can still keep going, but you find yourself wondering how much longer this can continue.

not allowed to show it, you just keep moving on.

#speculation nation #trigun #vash the stampede #music #vash #fanny's trigun analysis #IM COUNTING IT... #honestly the way Vash doesn't hold value in his own life drives me fucking insane #we see it over and over and over again in the way he puts himself in harm's way to save people #and then we see things like. towards the end. when Legato says that Vash is *like him*. someone who doesnt see value in living #early on when Vash is contemplating to Kaite about whether it was a good thing humans landed on this planet #& his dream with Rem about wondering how people could go on living with this hopelessness... #his pursuit of Knives drives him. but beyond that? he doesn't really want to keep living. #MADE EVEN MORE CHILLING by the fact that as a child he literally attempted suicide. before Rem stopped him. #Vash is lowkey suicidal throughout the entire story. and basically his entire life. and that is just fucking gut-wrenching. #im. gonna need to make a post about that actually. a proper analysis post #Vash's lack of attachment to life & the way he keeps on living for Rem's sake alone for the LONGEST time... #and the way he finds reasons to live again in the people he loves... #kind of a digression from the original song post but i just have some fucking Thoughts about him. god. #suicide ment/ #Spotify

not to be dramatic but sodam yat is probably the single most infuriating waste of a character ive ever seen. the concept of him alone is so good it makes me want to SCREAM like!!! he is kyle! he’s a mirrored version of kyle where absolutely everything is flipped on its head

instead of being the only lantern left after the destruction of the corps and rising to become basically its god, sodam starts off at the highest point, as ion at the height of the rebuilt corps, and he’s destined to see it destroyed until he’s the only lantern left! his story is just kyle’s played in reverse! kyle as a tragedy!

and it started almost a decade before kyle was even created! sodam joined the corps in 2007, but the prophecy stating he would be the last green lantern to be killed before mogo when the corps finally falls for good is from an annual released in 1986! by the time his story started, it had already ended in his death and failure to save the corps over twenty years before!!

he’s one of the best tragic heroes i’ve ever seen in a comic book like EVERYTHING he does just drips with dramatic irony, and it is so good!! everything about him is SO GOOD!!

and if i think too much about the fact that he’s only interacted with kyle like twice, has barely shown up since like 2011, and has now given up being a green lantern to go be a government official on the violently xenophobic, totalitarian planet that he spent his entire life trying to escape, it makes me want to start biting people!!

#sodam yat #kyle rayner #this post is messy but im in 2006 glc again and having thoughts #reading this knowing they made him go back to daxam makes me want to lose it for real lol #like he sacrificed himself to save daxam when he was ion but #there's a difference in not wanting everyone on the planet to die and #taking a job in the senate #he had to be talked into not just letting everyone on daxam die like thats how much he hated them #and now he just. goes into work every day with people who ordered the murder and TAXIDERMY of his childhood friend #like im sry but i just dont see how running around in those caves with those people in emerald warrior swouldve changed his mind THAT much #god anyway #madness!! #also had to hold myself back from going off on a whole thing about how #weirdly unique his tragedy is? #like it's really not like any ive ever seen before and i dont think it could happen in any other medium than comics #bc its really kind of chained to the never-ending nature of the story #i cant really put it into words but ANYWAY #also just have to say #that part where he says he doesnt want to hear about the prophecy because he left daxam to get away from superstition and the like #haunts my dreams actually lol like idk if it was intentional #but the fact that he was chosen by the ring FOR his bravery in trying to escape daxam #like a big important part of his predetermined destiny was that he would make a desperate attempt to get away from fatalism #god!!! #the capital t Tragedy of it all is SO GOOD

[parapsychoiogy]

im sorry its so insane to me people buy vinyl stickers and t-shirts and stuff that say "save the planet <3!" and shit like okay but thats a little counterproductive dont you think just dont buy that ???

#go girl! make those microplastics !!!! #i get wanting to have cute things its just the like irony of having a mass produced plastic t-shirt that says 'save the planet!'

Spones Political Marriage AU, Where Humans and Vulcans have been at war for a long time. But when David McCoy saves Sarek’s life, peace talks begin between the two groups, however neither are very trustful of the other. So an old tradition of using marriage to foster peace between two groups is put forth and its decided that the sons of the two men who have made peace possible would be an acceptable match.

Thats how one Leonard McCoy finds himself being bonded to Spock and having to deal with the political tensions that still exist between his old home and his new one.

#star trek #spones #leonard mccoy #spock #political marriage AU #i havent forgotten about kirk hes still a captain in this but for the army and is very good at what he does #he of course offers himself for such a union but is shot down as Vulcans do not want someone with his reputation living among them #he almost loses it when they suggest leonard and spock get married and then actually loses it when leonard agrees #he basically thinks it some sort of trick but leonard is like i can save more lives agreeing to this then i could with my own hands #so theres nothing you could say to stop me #leaning towards this being a more fantasy setting so vulcans are closer to being elves and they all live on the same planet

God why did I think I would ever have a logical sensible debate on tiktok over the trolley problem

#like holy shit the whole trolley problem is so flawed even most moral philosophers have already cracked it #utilitarianism is a flawed moral philosophy because it makes no sense when you apply it to its extreme #like say with the classic trolley problem but change it a bit would it be okay to randomly grab a person off the street #just to harvest their organs to save five people? No it isnt but under utilitarianism its the same thing. Sacrifice 1 life to save 5 #or take classic utilitarianism where you want to maximize goodness in the world #well how do you measure goodness? what time scale is appropriate? how far in the future do you have to look at to justify what you will do? #lets take what Genghis Khan did where he saved the planet from carbon emissions by comniting genocide #under utilitarianism its a good thing and is what we should all be doing but no thats ecofascism #tldr utilitarianism is a broken philosophy system and tiktok is dumb as rocks #utilitarianism #philosophy #moral philosophy

evi had absolutely sworn at least one ideal before she was killed and I can't decide if it's more devastating for her to be on the first or the second

#'i will remember those who have been forgotten' was exactly what she was doing when she was killed but #radiants whispering 'life before death' as they face their own certain deaths to save others is unparalleled #also 100% she was an edgedancer #i know maya didnt choose adolin but i think she can tell that he was raised by an edgedancer #also renarin always taking after evi to share the surge of progression makes my heart so happy #i was so right to procrastinate reading that i was sobbing uncontrollably for like ten minutes #and the book wants me to just recover and read about shakadolin getting lunch together are you kidding me #says kenna #a character who resonates with the suffering of others so intensely that it makes her physically sick #having to marry the most horrible violent man on the planet #and dying hideously trying to save people from him #im crying again evi was the best personr #oathbringer spoilers #stormlight spoilers

#o…kay so this is also interesting because i don’t recall this being in the movie at all #so—knowing that v-jer ‘patterns’ (saves information) by sending out a beam of energy to an object and scanning it in that way #but in so doing inherently and ALWAYS destroying that object #though such as in the case of ilia—the data gathered can be ‘reformed’ and v-jer can replicate the thing it’s scanned #but only as a mechanical object—the passage above implies that it #1. understood it’s mission was to gather data ​2. understood data to be most effectively gathered in this way 3. arrived at a planet and #‘pattered it completely’ which I take to mean it a) destroyed the *entire planet* or b) destroyed everything on its surface but left a #dead ​geological foundation intact #and by so doing—eliminating the atmosphere and the molecules there—killed the ‘carbon based units’ (life forms) on it through depravity of #life requirements #although it did not specifically intend to eliminate the carbon units bc it did not *bother* to scan them (also a significant demonstration #of priorities) #and then 4. went on to do this at countless other worlds #THAT I think makes v-jer something very different #i don’t want to imply at all that it understood it was doing this as anything negative and obviously has no concept of the morality #or implication of this supreme interference w a planet #but holy SHIT the idea that the probe earth sent out to say hello to other places? the probe we sent out with music and greetings and whale #song… became this /planet destroying force/ that left NOTHING in its wake ? that’s a lot to handle #and if this movie wasn’t horrible and the idea wasn’t stupidly excecuted maybe they’d have leaned into that. #because that is also part of earth’s legacy now. #the trail of smoldering worlds it left in its wake. #trek #library #the motion picture

Trying to keep your footprint as low as possible is a great way to self-destruct.

And I'm not saying this to people who take two hour showers during international flights while shoving red meat into their mouth. I'm saying this to my fellow activists who feel conflicted about heating their home on fossil fuels even though they don't have any other options (and struggle to afford it).

Like, we can talk about how 'consumer choice' is never going to save the planet and stuff, but more importantly: You are not a sin. Your basic needs deserve to be met. You deserve to be warm and filled with food that satisfies you and you deserve to see your friends.

We are not fighting to save 'the planet', that's a piece of rock. We want to save ecosystems and plants and animals, including people. You are part of that. Don't leave yourself out of the list of creatures that deserve to thrive.
