Cecilia Tea is Mondstadt’s best kept secret. It’s the most popular type of tea in the city, essentially being the non-alcoholic equivalent to dandelion wine—but next-to-no foreigners have even heard of it, let alone actually tried it. This is largely because the flower only grows in very small numbers at exactly one spot in all of Teyvat, and are so delicate that they don’t grow well outside of the very specific combination of altitude, temperature, soil quality, and humidity found at that one spot (it’s a minor miracle—and also probably a literal one, actually, knowing Venti—that they continue to exist at all). Nobody bothers to export them because they’re almost completely unknown outside of Mondstadt, and demand already outstrips supply as-is, so there’s no reason to go through the effort of changing that. And anybody who tried would suddenly become very unpopular, because a lot of Mondstadters would be very upset that there’s now even less of the tea to go around than there already was.

Yeah I'll believe that

#and i mean it would make a lot of sense? #because cecilias literally can't survive anywhere else #but also if you went to mondstadt as a non-local it wouldn't be like...a secret kept from you Mondstadters are pretty sharing people tbh #anons asking

As powerful and in control and dominant as he is, do you think there’s anything that would make Terry forget all that and act like a kid again, like he’s so delighted, like snow or a puppy or something like that? I think that would be so cute to just see him happy and laughing with joy and not maniacally lol.

― I mean, we're shown he's immensely happy when John brings him that batch of 333 Sabeco beers and Terry jumps up with instant recognition, all smiles, yes, like a little kid. It isn't some lavish Chardonnay. It isn't some rare vintage import wine in refined company and it certainly isn't an expensive Martini with an even more expensive virgin olive garnish the likes people his class enjoy; it is just beer that associates him with his youth and the perhaps the rare stolen good moment he shared with fellow soldiers and his friends in Vietnam --- and boom, Terry’s face lights up and he appears almost undeniably innocent for a brief tid bit. Of course, the scene soon turns very, very sour seeing as what John does next, but for a brief second, we see a glimpse that Terry is made happy by surprisingly and unexpectedly simple things, considering how rich and refined he is. That much is literally canon.

― Petty mischief comes next, as a close second. Example being Terry's shenanigans in the nightclub circa the 80's when Daniel's tricked into breaking someone nose. Terry's all smiles and genuine excitement as he outruns security at the back entrance with this kid, so, as I always headcanon, I think Terry, in spite of being a grown and fully accomplished man, has a great many traits that one could attribute to a cheeky, misbehaving teenager causing a ruckus (which we can attribute to him going to war as a teenager himself and suffering from being repressed at that age). Terry enjoys that bit of freedom and adrenaline rush, almost like a hyperactive, overgrown child Daniel’s own age. Of course, it is done with a nefarious purpose in this particular context, but I feel Terry, throughout the years, indulged in petty mischief often and that he legitimately got as happy as a boy whenever he did.

― So, going off of two canon examples, and I did conclude this before, I am convinced Terry’s delighted in the purest way possible by day to day simplicity. Childish endeavors. Things that are free (irony) or cost very little (more irony) --- nothing’s for free, according to his own words, but a great many free things do in fact bring Terry the most satisfaction --- not that he would necessarily full-heartedly admit to this. Sure, scheming and wealth and outsmarting everyone and mingling with an upper class company might make him smirk. Might even have him laughing maniacally. Give out a mechanical, rehearsed chuckle. But, every time we’ve seen Terry truly overjoyed in an oddly pure manner is when he’s faced with commonplace pleasures. A nostalgic beer. Acting like an unruly adolescent on a night out on the town. Driving around a busted up Ford and pretending to be just some guy.

― As such, conclusion is, that Terry would exhibit this clean, sweet type of happiness you speak of in the face of being known and being accepted for he is --- all flaws and all himself. Happiness is being known. Being able to preform devotion and receiving it back in honest. Happiness is in a cheap, supermarket-tier beverage associated with a different era. Happiness is getting a slightly tacky tattoo with a good friend at the most ordinary of parlours. Happiness is having a cheesy Cobra Kai motto and handshake. Happiness is feeling young again and not having that youth polluted and practically stolen by war and trauma. For an immensely complicated, nuanced and complex, often contradictory man that is Terry Silver who can afford anything and anybody, true happiness, ironically enough, lies in the most simple things in the world.

Why do you need your earbuds to have a wire so badly?

I am assuming this is about a post I reblogged like six months ago when I went off on forced technological enshitification and the slow erosion of consumer options. But sure, I'll bite.

Why do I "need" my earbuds to have a wire? I dunno, Anon, maybe I:

Don't want to have to worry about recharging my earbuds.

Don't want my earbuds to be even easier to lose.

Don't want my earbuds to need separate accessories that are as easy to lose as the earbuds.

Prefer to have bluetooth turned off on my devices for security and safety reasons.

Like being able to seamlessly plug my earbuds into my computer, my MP3 player, or any other device with a headphone jack.

Don't want to spend 50 dollars on decent wireless earbuds when I can do all the above things with a pair of solid earbuds that cost me like $12 during the Obama administration.

Don't care about what kinds of headphones or earbuds people wear but don't like what it says about our society when other people apparently care what kind of earbuds I'm wearing so much they have send an Anonymous ask to interrogate me about it.

And I guess, more abstractly, because fuck Apple. That's why.

“I can’t be a trans man on the internet” go the fuck outside then dude. Signed a trans woman who has had enough of your bullshit posts

I’m gonna use this ask to make a point.

Trans guys if you get an anon claiming to be a trans women that says rude/bigoted shit, don’t believe them. Transphobes have admitted to pretending to be trans women and sending bigoted asks to trans men.

If you get an anon ask saying weird shit claiming to be from a trans women - always remember anons can lie about who they are! 9 times out of 10 it’s just some cis person lying to paint trans women as evil bigots.

And everytime I see a trans man fall for the bait and start saying transmisogynistic shit I just sigh.

Wdym he isn't a god of sleep with that track record

He’s not, it’s theorized (aka take with heavy grain of salt) that the reason he sleeps so much is because of his connection to the God of Time, who is all about “perfect moments” and stuff like that, so venti only showing up when needed is a whole theme

He DOES have a connection with spirits and being a watcher/guide of dead people’s spirits though, which is a sort of sleep!

Why do people constantly want you to write Amanda having some sort of catty rivalry with beloved (reader) when it is literally not in her character to have this antagonistic stance with other women (in case beloved's read as a woman). Like, even Tory, Amanda takes in and tries to counsel. She's good friends with Carmen too. Like, sorry for the rant, but I don't understand where this shrill, downright bitchy characterization of Amanda is coming from in people's minds. You are very good in correcting them and I applaud you for that.

I don't blame people, I blame the show for spoiling everyone's expectations when nearly all the female relationships are mainly, you guessed it --- rivalries. So, people rightfully want the antagonist's significant other (a figurative, made-up Beloved) and the protagonist's significant other (Amanda) to be pulling each other's hairs, throwing wine in each other's face, backtalking one another, stealing each other's men like we're on Real Housewives of Atlanta or something, which, I really don't think is in Amanda's character, just respectfully speaking. Don’t figure think a savvy, smart businesswoman running this huge family business and who serves as the Larusso family's mature, stable voice of reason would conduct things with such a lack subtlety and class, but okay. And yes, we've literally never seen Amanda being quite so needlessly cruel to any female character on the show, so I don't understand where people are coming from.

hbomberguy’s latest video on plagiarism has made me completely rethink literature and writing. I have never once so much as considered intentionally plagiarizing anyone or anything, but I think there’s something more that has come out of this: the names of the people who created the works Somerton (and others) ripped off.

Plagiarism isn’t only bad because it is lazy and disrespectful, it’s bad because it buries the truth. If you can’t find a source, the conversation is over. Somerton’s sources are fairly easy to find by simply searching his plagiarized lines, but that isn’t true in most cases. Most of the time, the line from statement to source is a lot less clear.

Today, I was writing a report on English Ivy, which is an invasive species here in the US. I wanted to know when it was introduced and I at last found a source claiming it was introduced to the Americas “as early as 1727” on a .net website that seems quite reputable (it has multiple major universities credited in its home page), but there is no citation for where this date came from. I dug deeper and found a pamphlet created by a city government in Virginia that made the same claim, only to discover the first source linked in their bibliography. Another website (a botanical garden’s page) gave the same date with the same source hyperlinked. Of course, I have classes to attend and things to do and probably not enough time to follow the lines back to where this 1727 date came from, but if I had not just watched this video, I wouldn’t have given that date a second thought.

Of course, it doesn’t matter in the long run exactly what year hedera helix was introduced to the Americas, but it makes you wonder how many facts have been so vaguely attributed that it becomes completely impossible to figure out where they originated (and further, whether or not they’re true at all).

Declutter Tumblr

The new layout it a whole mess. Thankfully Xkit can already help with a bunch of this! I'm sure it'll give more options soon.

Vanilla Tumblr:

(I have marked in red what can be removed. The tabs can be set not to stick, so you will really only see them at the top of your dash. Empty box on the left for hidden notifications and shop sparkle, i just didn't have any. I'm EU so no Live for me).

Xkit Rewritten Tumblr:

The settings I use:

#tumblr #xkit rewritten #tumblr dash #tumblr dashboard #undescribed #tactaxtalks #// well this escalated quickly! remember i'm just some guy #but if you want help with xkit or general tumblr feel free to send an ask/anon/dm
