#a controlled burn

[pirateknight]

if there's one thing about Lou Wilson it's that he goes above and beyond when given the option to sabotage himself and his party

#escalation from pinocchio purposefully walking into a trap to him lying about getting possessed and burning everything fabian has on adaine #'fabian loses control of a bodily function' [picks the worst one] #also i think gunnie chefs tools casino bit could be an example #looking at the stepmother #he just keeps it interesting #dimension 20 #fantasy high #fhjy spoilers #OH AND how could i forget the bad awful no good day in leviathan

Posting a sneak-peak of this now because I'm about to be In The Shit school workload-wise, so this'll take me a while to finish.

Doing some character design exploration/expression sheets for Celestia and Luna. Figuring out Celestia's weird ass anatomy while I'm at it.

#mlp #celestia #fanart #my art #wip #the grand galloping 20s #delete later #look at me fucking smart guy signed up for 4 art classes in one quarter #so now i have 4 concurrent art/film/creative writing projects going on at the same fucking time #taking bets on how fast i burn out #anyways the idea behind the faces is the front face is the surface. it displays whatever emotions celestia intends when she's in control. #the two side faces––sadness and anger––are sides of her she has less control over. i drew all 3 faces active for the exploration #but in reality only 1 is active at a time. the others will either close their eyes or go catatonic like a puppet or doll #the final face on the back of the head is the deep subconscious. every ugly and violent and hateful thought and emotion #that lies buried under the surface. celestia has no control over that side of her. if she ever wakes

entertaining the idea of eeveelutions as survivors of their own type. evolving when struck by lightning or caught in a fire/explosion as a way to survive

#pokemon #jolteon #flareon #art #fanart #burning #scars #scarring #eye trauma #<- sorta? just in case #skeleton #ask to tag #i didnt have time for vaporeon but id like to go back to the idea next week when i can draw again #basically eeveelutions as caught between life and death and harnessing the power of what should have killed them #to evolve and get a resistance to it #and theyre all dual type specter. #the idea is that the lightning strike that hit jolteon still resides within. the flame that burnt flareon down still consumes its body #so theyre always fighting against it. 80% of their focus/energy is devoted to that & bc of it they have poor control over their element #so they cannot deal heavy attacks. but they CAN tank any incoming attack of their own element #basically volt absorb and flash fire abilities #many thoughts to be had here #myart

i wonder how much of the common fandom misconception that the dark side is not actually bad comes from a misunderstanding of where the dark side actually comes from. from what i gather from folks who argue that the dark side isn't actually bad, it seems they think that someone falls to the dark side because they 'care too much' or because of anger over some injustice that must be corrected. if this were true, then the dark side seems pretty reasonable or even the right thing to do, especially for those of us who've felt that anger in real life due to an injustice we've faced and used it to galvanize our actions

but the dark side isn't rooted in anger. it's rooted in fear -- fear of loss of power, or control, or life, or another person. fear that can lead to anger, yes, but it's not the righteous anger of a protector for those less fortunate, but an anger that twists one's principles and causes hate and suffering. honestly, the dark side has more in common with the hateful people in real life who cause the very injustices we're angry about, who are often also afraid of a (perceived) loss of power that leads them to mistreat others

#midtalks #meta #star wars #not all anger is created equal #also you cant just act in pure anger all the time even irl #even righteous anger must be tempered by control #and its not sustainable #thats why so many ppl who only have anger in organizing movements burn out

[ask-the-rag-dolly]

i'm going to be honest what you all have been doing is harmful to her wellbeing and will have considerable impacts going forward and yes i am saying this right as it's too late to change it , you're welcome everybody

#[ ooc ] #i've actually written down stuff on what Does help ragdolly and this ain't it chief LMAO #as much as i like watching things crash and burn i know some of you want her to open up more so . #the biggest hint i can give you is that she's literally under considerable amount of stress right now #and is grasping for any tiny bits of control and safety even if it means Denial and Avoiding Stuff Again #to put it simply - she feels unsafe right now !! make her feel safer ! how ? well taking away her autonomy and forcing her to #face her trauma even when she's Really not in the correct mental state for it is Not Those -

gay people love laboratories because of the. slow burn and the chemistry

#someone has probably made htis joke before but i always say that when i make a joke and usually nobody has so im banking on that #(slow burn refers to the bunsen burner because it produces a small and controlled flame) #text post

ya know the thing is Bruce could try and pull his patented "in worried about you and instead of expressing that I'm going to pull you off of vigilante work" on Duke and it Would Not Work.

Bruce could pull him off the outsiders sure but 100% Bruce could not make Duke stop patrolling

Duke, staring Bruce's lil bat peepers down, with the power of gd and anime on his side: you could call Superman to sit on me and it Still wouldn't keep me from going out

#duke thomas #bruce wayne #batfam #im writing this in a fic rn but the thing is bruce cannot out stubborn duke that is Very important to me #also bruce will cave to duke eventually because hes Trying to be better okay #duke is not his robin and bruce can't control him like a robin #does this mean duke is gonna burn himself out? yes absolutely #bruce Has to adapt his mentor style to duke not the other way around #will this be frustrating for bruce? definitely will bruce respect him more for it? absolutely #anyway idk im just thinky thoughts #bread talk

Firefighter Ghost

Danny learned what a true hero was when he was 5 years old and his parents almost burned down their house by accident (or on purpose, he wasn't quite sure). At that time the firefighters were just getting to know the Fentons, but the boy couldn't help but be amazed at all of their actions.

After that, firefighters were a fairly weekly and common sight in his house but Danny always considered them his own heroes (sometimes they even gave him edible food!) so when he manifested ice powers, he decided he wanted to be that kind of hero too.

The problem was that by the time he decided, he was no longer in Amity. He became a kind of "walking firefighter" in his head. To all the other heroes he was a strange individual who saved people by freezing them.

Flash was pretty sure he was a hero (or trying to be one), but Batman had second thoughts about him after saving someone from hypothermia, in Danny's defense he really couldn't control the temperature of his ice and those were very honest accidents. What mattered was that people were safe.

#dpxdc #Firefighter Danny #he's happy #fighting fire around the world #Danny is traveling because he wanted a break from Amity #He decided to be a traveler firefighter #and help everyone he found on danger with his ice #the problem is #Danny can't control his ice #people go from being almost burned to being freezed #The halfa is trying #dp x dc #dc x dp

Because my latest accidental interest is chemical weapons, and because all my interests end up infected with a Tolkien angle, I present to you this: the Nazgûl attacks as interpreted as a form of chemical warfare.

This lines up well both with the Nazgûl ability to inflict fear on a mass scale and with the impacts of the Black Breath. People don't necessarily know what they're facing or what's happening to them, but both the experience and even the threat of it are terrifying. It also allows the obvious evocation of WWI gas warfare, though not, say, accompanied by the physical effects of chlorine or mustard. The Black Breath has both psychological and physiological effects which require medical treatment, and this description I think could be applied essentially unchanged to instances of chemical warfare:

At length even the stout-hearted would fling themselves to the ground as the hidden menace passed over them, or they would stand, letting their weapons fall from nerveless hands while into their minds a blackness came, and they thought no more of war, but only of hiding and of crawling, and of death.

I also think it would be fun if athelas (which treats the Black Breath) was a member of the nightshade family (which includes sources of natural atropine, which can treat the effects of exposure to certain chemical agents). This would put the Black Breath in the second generation of chemical agents, maybe a type of organophosphate nerve gas

#nerve gas while not actually used in wwii did carry a lot of weight just via the fear/threat of its use #since you don't get all the physical burning/asphyxiation/blindness symptoms of wwi agents i suggest the black breath is either #a ''riot control'' level incapacitant or a military weapon level nerve gas. at such concentrations that it doesnt kill instantly per se #tolkien #lotr #nazgûl #chemical warfare #skravler

Fire suppression p.1 & p.2: “Flame Retardant” & “Building Potential” Inspired by the PEM's ‘Our Time on Earth’ exhibit

I was gladly surprised to see the exhibit’s various optimistic installations, especially the building materials of the future. As a forestry student I am beginning to understand our relationship to our forests differently. In the US, forest policy which aimed to suppress wildfires has contributed to a century-long build up of fuel that would otherwise have been cleared by controlled burns or small spontaneous ground fires. Indigenous peoples shaped the forests of the Americas to require these controlled burns. More and more I realize that indigenous knowledge and collaboration is a necessary part of the stewardship of future. A concept which is present at large at the museum but also specifically within Our Time on Earth. Getting a ‘sustainable’ amount of lumber from our forest still disregards the health and purpose of these trees to a diverse and complex ecosystem. It is essential that we diversify our building material, to include carbon-negative things like mycelium! Natural resources that are close by, and at hand in our local environment, which doesn’t require chopping down a tree 3000 miles away and transporting it to the US. We need local resources whose collective cultivation lead to a sense of community and collaboration. A better future!

My thanks to lane.m.artin for collaborating with me for p.2!

imagine being director Northmoor of the FBC and one day you revel so much in your power that you literally explode. and instead of doing anything else about it, the FBC goes “when life gives a secret paranatural government agency lemons…” and throws your possibly-alive, moving corpse in a power plant so they don’t have to worry about their power bill. then going onwards, people only refer back to you using ominous light-based puns

#that guy was the worst lmao #like so far it seems every director that’s had a connection to the board has met a fate that reflected their person #northmoor was explosive and power hungry and awful. and therefore is forever burning as a fuel source for everyone #but it’s just funny to try to imagine what the hell went down with him. wasn’t trench the one who brought up the idea 😭 #control remedy #control 2019 #Northmoor #this is always the first ‘secret thing about control!’ on any article or thread #but is really is fun to figure out #this and the book club reviews reflecting the writers deaths in the game #fbc agent painting Northmoor sarcophagus container on the side of the power plant: this is genius

Eddie post a Tiktok that’s like, “Steve’s away for the weekend at a teacher conference so you know what that means…”

He flips the camera around to zoom in and out on the fire truck parked in their driveway, making club music noises with his mouth. You can hear him yell goodbye to Fireman Dave before flipping the camera back around on himself. He’s a little burnt around the edges, a little manic looking as he asked, “Seriously though, let’s not mention this to Steve.”

TMZ picks up the story and obviously post something about it because the fire department had to come to a celebrity’s house. Eddie wakes up the next morning to four missed calls and seventeen unread text messages from Steve.

ok but werewolf gffa au. stay with me stay with me ok 

Stewjoni people are all werewolves, even prim and “that’s so uncivilized” Obi-Wan Kenobi, but it doesn’t usually affect him much at all, because the artificial full moon on Coruscant doesn’t trigger his transformation -- he spends most of his time on the planet and almost never experiences his “wolf” side as any travel he does falls on days when there isn’t a full moon, so most people don’t even know he’s Stewjoni.

This changes when Anakin becomes his padawan because now he’s taking him off-planet on missions so often that he’s experiencing way more partial transformations. He has enough control that even on full moon nights, he doesn’t go full wolf, but his instincts take over and he becomes more violent, more protective, more sensitive to smells along with minor physical changes when his control slips.

It’s still not much of a problem. They just schedule their off-planet trips when there won’t be a full moon on their destination planet, and if there is, Obi-Wan deals with it the best he can, and Anakin deals with an overprotective and coddling Master for a few days.

But then the Clone Wars break out, and scheduling their trips to planets based on that planet’s lunar cycles is impossible because there are so many other priorities; Obi-Wan and his troops need to go where the fighting is; no one is able to predict how long a siege would take anyway.

And then Dooku’s seen on a planet in the Mid-Rim. Obi-Wan and Anakin are deployed to capture him immediately. The only problem is this planet has like. eight moons, and at least one is always full. No one realizes how much the moons are affecting Obi-Wan until Dooku taunts Anakin about the loss of his arm, and Obi-Wan responds by ripping his throat out with his teeth.

#kit's silly lil aus #i stopped cooking dinner to sit down and write this #support me my leeks are burning because im trying to live my best 'loved teen wolf in high school and now am tying it to obikin' life #obikin #gffa werewolf au #but just imagine baby anakin swaddled in obi-wan's robes as a scent thing #and planetary dignitaries are like um is that necessary #and obi-wan is like :) yes :) he's cold #meanwhile baby anakin is dying of heatstroke #i bet there's more of a full shift on the planet with all the moons though too #like huge hulkng wolf shift #loth wolf sized wolf #because obi-wan has lost ALL control after holding himself back for ages on that planet

Trigun twinswap AUs are just the most absolutely goddamn terrifying thing to me

Like. Vash is ridiculously powerful. Absolutely op. Knives CANNOT overpower him. The only thing that keeps them on even playing grounds is that Knives knows so much more about their plant powers and Vash deeply fears them (and seems to even resent them at times in certain canons). But if Vash weren't holding back? If he let that absolutely world-crushing power unfurl and did whatever the hell he wanted before his last run caught up with him??? If he learned how to manage them so he didn't burn out??????

Fuck, dude

#Trigun #Like it's hard to wrap my mind around something that would break the foundation of Vash's character like that #(I'm sure there are excellent AUs out there that explore it--it just wrecks me enough I haven't read any yet lmao) #But just the CONCEPT #He could end the universe if he wanted to!!!!!! #Like!!!!!!!!!!! #I think he burns more power CONTROLLING it than he does using it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! #AHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! #Anyway done with my unhinged ramblings for today #I'm very out of it BUT I HAD TO SCREAM

I love werewolf Phoenix so much but

What about him with fire wings? Instead of needing a bike to go from scene to scene, Maya and him could just fly there, and his fear of heights despite being a bird hybird would be something he gets made fun of a lot. He can light his wings or have fire coming out of his finger + a higher heat resistance. Just imagining him and Maya flying around would be so funny

I love werewolf Phoenix so it's hard to decide how he'd fit in this au. Everyone asks him if he is a Phoenix bc that'd his name and when he says he's a werewolf he gets bullied

NO BECAUSE YOU’RE LITERALLY SO SMART 😭 featherweight fans know how much I love bird people

GRAHHHH I LOVE WEREWOLF NICK BUT I LOVE THIS TOO 😨😭💥
