#anything goes boot

[bonefall]

it is healing to come onto this blog and see basic respect for diasbility after being in other corners of the fandom and reading the words “snowkit could never be a warrior because he wouldnt know what anything is. he wouldnt even know what a clan is because nobody could explain it to him” said in full seriousness

Im..... That statement is so ableist I cannot even imagine the worldview you'd need to have in order to come up with that.

They really think the only way anyone learns anything is through verbal-speaking-words-noises? No one has ever observed something before? Not even once?

This is beyond touching grass, this person just fell out of the fucking Jurassic Period when all they had was ferns and stegosaurs.

I just...

OH YES. I remember my first day of Society Lessons as a hearing person, where the everything was explained to me. Via Audiobook. FIRST they spoke and said, "you are standing on the ground." It was a life changing revelation, and the world began to spin.

But it did not stop.

THEN they said, "there are fingers on your hands." The sensation of flesh and bone crackling into existence is indescribable, but I did not yet know pain, until they told me, "that hurts." I began screaming immediately.

And yet... it continued.

They explained so much. Chairs. Tables. Walls. The sky. Frogs. Ionizing radiation. Breathing. I was told all of it, in one sitting, and only then did I understand. Only when my ears were bursting with normal hearing knowledges, did they begin... my final test.

A strange wall-chair-finger emerged from the sky-of-the-wall, stood on the ground several times, until it was in front of me. A second one came behind it, this one slimmer. The audiobook gave these things names;

Human. Father. Mother. Door. Walking. It was completely impossible to know what these things were until that very moment.

I watch a human dip a hook into water and produce a fish, and I recall my Society Lessons where they called that "fishing." I am decked in the face by a nefarious hooligan, and I have only the audiobook to thank when I know I have been "punched" by a "bad guy." It was only the magic of verbal-speaking-words-noise that made me understand that there are "other people" and that they "do stuff."

Sometimes, even, in "groups."

Before the Society Lessons Audiobook, I knew nothing. I was pure, innocent, uncorrupted by concepts such as "parents" and "door." I am grateful every day that there is no such concept as "being shown things" or "simple logical reasoning" or "looking."

Blessed be those amongst us who escape the horrors of the Society Lessons Audiobook. I pray that you never learn what anything is. Be free! Free as a bird, which also knows nothing and famously cannot learn. 🤗

DEAF/HOH FOLLOWERS I'm losing my mind do you want me to bump a 'Hearing Disabilities Herb Guide' to the top of my priorities? Something you can use to bludgeon whackadoodles like that. This is ridiculous

Obviously not a MEDICINE guide but like; common causes of hearing disability in clan cats. Accommodations for hearing loss vs congenital deafness. Actual difficulties of not having that sense Clan-by-Clan. Debunking of misconceptions like... not being able to learn APPARENTLY.

#bone babble #Fennelposting #Obviously the answer is 'theyre incapable of THINKING' but like... they do know snow has a line right #In the book. He figured out. A word. Through observation. #He says 's'all right' because he knows it calms ppl down #He did not need to hear the magic words 'You can make noises at others to influence them' #Like a fucking tutorial tip #Im going to start keeping a JOURNAL of ''times people have been weird about snowkit specifically'' #Ableism #cw ableism #I could also link to the pawspeak thing so it's all in one place #I wrote this last night and put it in the queue and I laid awake thinking of this... #What do they think happens when someone goes to another country where things aren't written/spoken in a language they know? #Do they think they wouldn't be able to figure out anything? Do they think the tourist would just perish #Would they collapse in the streets of Berlin sobbing? #Happened to me. Went to England and they called it a Car Boot Sale instead of a Flea Market and I died to death #AND if I did make that guide please tell me if there's any other weird misconceptions you need to see in it #I know that ONE of them is going to have to be that. like. deaf people make noise. #theyre actually quite loud because they don't know they're making noise #and people with hearing loss do not suddenly forget how to speak. #and people born deaf dont talk like cavemen #cw body horror #tw body horror #EDIT: OOPS sorry I have such an astonishingly tolerance for body horror I did not realize that counted as body horror

i keep seeing news about a potential gravity falls reboot. as someone who very much despises reboots and who thinks gravity falls ended very well (it's something gf has been REPEATEDLY praised for,) do you think there's actually a chance they'd legitimately reboot it?

I watched a bit of hana's interview with alex hirsch out of (somewhat morbid) curiosity and from what I could glean there, it seems less likely gravity falls is going to get a legitimate "reboot" any time soon and more that there's potential for spinoffs when alex's contract with netflix expires. my honest prediction is that the book of bill is a prelude to more if it sells well, as it's very possible they're testing the waters to see if gravity falls nostalgia-hype is alive and well.

as much as I dislike reboots- and I have some strong feelings about the book of bill as a concept- I actually wouldn't be mad about some of the concepts alex has in his back pocket, such as a miniseries set on the stan o' war, or potentially more comics. I criticize elements of writing and what's being done with the story now because, obviously, I love gravity falls dearly, and I do think it could be adapted or continued faithfully... in the right hands, under the right circumstances. reboots exceeding the production of new, director-driven stories is symptomatic of a larger problem in the entertainment industry, but I don't think they're the disease themselves. people love strong stories, y'know? I would be a massive hypocrite if I acted like there was something wrong with wanting more, I've been actively making art for this show since I was 12.

so, do I think they're going to fully reboot the show, take us back to the mystery shack for "summer 2013" or potentially something further ahead in the future? ...mm, probably not. the series ended at two seasons for a reason, and in the age of, yes, pointless cash-grab reboots in a time where the entertainment industry is hopelessly dependent on selling established IPs, I respect that decision a lot. but I feel like it's inevitable there will be more gravity falls in some form or another in the future, which I honestly wouldn't have guessed if not for alex's words himself and the release of a new book this july.

whether or not it's any good... I guess we'll have to wait and see?

#lab notes #lab discussion #sometimes I worry I come across like I just hate anything new that gets put out and I genuinely don't #as much as I bristle at the idea because I know it means attracting a lot of attention to something I care about a Lot #and I think the ideas presented originally do get distorted as time goes on... #but I can't tell you what my solution to that would be realistically. I'm not even involved in animation #I think what I would want for the future of any beloved 'IP' would be a collaborative effort between old and new blood #experienced writers alongside fresh minds and artists who may already be long-time fans who understand the characters #that seems like a no-brainer to me. but unfortunately the entertainment industry is spiraling down the capitalism drain hard and fast #and I think- like most things- we would need some serious restructuring before art can be made with a basis of freedom and passion #rather than struggling to be born in the first place and crawling forward with a boot on its neck #coughs. but yeah I don't think about it too much !

Man modern tdv SUCKS in terms of direction and nothing proves it more than für sarah.......... all the early alfreds (watching fritz schmid from stuttgart rn) are desperate during it!!!!!!!! They're half-convinced they're walking towards their doom, they're not dreamy or happy, they're frightened (of the unknown!) but push onwards and swear by their blood that they'll be braver than they are because from now on it's the only way forward. and they're still scared but it's the only way

#sensing none of that in what the popular alfreds do nowadays ;_____; #i saw RG irl and no hate towards him at ALL but. that energy just Wasnt There (and isn't there in boots) #they just all play him as naive when in fact that song (IN ITS ORIGINAL PLACEMENT) is alfred (for the first time!) becoming anything but #if he's not crying screaming throwing up he's: #notmyalfred #tanz der vampire #<- yeah this goes in the main tag sorry #musicals #theatre #this is not anti tdv btw this is pro tdv 1997 2001 sjjdjfjghjg

Stop moralising people who don't like children. It's really not a big deal. I'm allowed to find kids annoying as fuck and to want to avoid them whenever I can

#“yOU wERe a KiD OnCe” what's your point??? do you think you just did something? #and “children” as far as I'm concerned is anyone from 0-18 #so all that “they can't help being annoying 😭 they're learning how to be people 😭” is null and void #not being able to help it stops being an excuse when you can mentally and physically help it #saying that there's something wrong with me for hating children won't make me stop hating children #txt post #txt #mine #mine.txt #there need to be more adults only environments #that don't just involve alcohol #i don't want to get drunk but i don't want children under my feet #more than anything i think that parents don't have a handle on their children #and that anything that controls or impedes where your child goes or what it does is frowned upon nowadays #even when it's responsible parenting #i never see children on reins anymore #they're all running around getting under my feet and their parents aren't even keeping an eye on them #if i boot your child it's not my fault

[mechieonu]

my favorite interpretation of deathpuss atm is the one where puss is a manwhore and death is oblivious

#by which i mean #death has such a complete lack of romantic experience that any kind of flirting goes over his head #and any that doesn't just flat out bluescreens him #that and i can't see puss being anything other than unrepentantly honest w ppl he finds hot #so it'd just be like #puss: yeah i can take you #death‚ drawing his sickles immediately: IN A FIGHT? #anyways go read the golden hourglass on ao3 its the best deathpuss fic ever #& these tags are incredibly generalizing & don't do the both of them justice #deathwish #deathpuss #death in boots #<- i love that ship name

the project doesn't need to be a masterpiece it only needs to be written

#now everyone say it with me #writeblr #good gods where did my motivation go #i've been sitting in front of my documnet for four hours now i changed one word! #progress! #feels like shit though nothing happened to that document in one and a half years #thought about changing wips #don't feel like writing anything else either #nothing works #it's been nearly two years of this slump #it's not even a break #a break implies a voluntary act #mean thoughts are too loud #kind thoughts are fighting hard but ugh #puts on the boots #stumps on evil thoughts like maniac #now is too exhausted to actually write #it's how it goes #ugh #fucking rambly tags whatever good night weeeeeee ✨

#archived art #queue clergy #sarvente #ruvyzvat #i remember the caption for this mentioning that sarv didn't like showing off her legs #so im assuming the ''ruv stealing her boots'' doodle goes with it LOL #bc she wouldn't have had anything else to wear #smh smh..chastizing us for looking at sarvs thighs and then pulling this shit. we know what ur after ruv

A character reference sheet sort of thing for the main character of the Poll Adventures, drawn more in my usual style (taking a picture of messy pencil sketches then coloring it digitally lol) rather than the cutesy ms paint style of the daily poll images .. there he is.. the adventure boy..

#paventure posting #sketches #I haven't drawn for real in a long time.. I forget how much I dislike coloring lol #I think if I did Neat Digital Art Lines that you can color in with the fill bucket tool it would be different but #since I can only really draw on phyiscal paper with a pencil and then just put that on the computer the lines are all too #messy for that to work. So I basically have to color it all coloring book style which is tedious #Honeslty I really like... physical art. like sculptures. and I like pencil and pen sketching . But I really dont like #most digital art at all. The exception is in MS paint for some reason. I think because I can use the bucket fill tool lol #and the pixelly lines give it some texture still. My main problem with digitial art lines is that they don't look like pencil on paper they #'re too “clean” like no scratchy messy texture looking stuff. Which I know you can use different brushes. I've tried. it just doesnt #have the same feel to it. ANYWAY.. Definitely need to practice more hjbjhb.. my anatomy and drawing fabrics and stuff #has gotten much more wonky than it used to be I think. but I've just been focusing so much more on writing #than drawing. Or only drawing the occasional sketch that goes along with writing (like worldbuilding stuff) #aside from Ms paint stuff I probably haven't really DRAWN like a full body sketch or face #or anything like that in maybe a year or more. yoink #OH ALSO i know his boots are different now because the poll voted to give him new boots ghjhbjb #I drew this before then. I actually thought more people would vote for the coat ToT #I wanted to draw him in a cool robe or something and have that be an addition to his outfit #instead just the shoes change. which aren't even visible in all drawings :( #A little purple outer coat. his favorite color. But alas. #And yeah the string that laces up his main tunic coat thing is technically like a tan yellowy sort of color but I usually #just draw it as black because it's easiest. especially with ms paint and doing really thin lines #also his hair is a little ridiculous and doesn't translate well from chibi type image to realistic but I tried gh.. the bangs lol...

YES HIGH-SEA ADVENTURES!!! I love the idea of them coming across a kraken or something of that nature

Sally's at the front of the line like "FOR GLORY" meanwhile others are freaking out or trying to keep the ship(and themselves, but mostly Eddie) stable

Also the bit with Eddie and Frank😭<3 so good

Sally, Julie, Frank: throwing themselves at the kraken

Eddie: attempting to back them up, failing <3

Wally: getting snatched by said kraken

Barnaby: holding onto Wally's ankle with one paw & holding onto the ship w/ the other

Poppy: dragging Howdy's deliriously sick self into a corner for "safety" & screaming

#and the ship's actual crew are the ones getting shit done <3 #listen when there are three available fighters #& one things they can bring down a kraken with his bare hands #another is just wildly hacking at it & is mostly just damaging the ship #and only the third is actually doing anything but her magic is fire-based so thats horrifying on a ship #yeah. yeah #& then eddie of course also gets snatched bc he's an easy target #so now barn is holding onto both wally and eddie while biting the guardrail as an anchor #trying to yell for help lmao #wally's staff is downstairs so he cant cast & the situation isnt dire enough for him to tap into home's real power #home is patiently watching and waiting and eating popcorn #eddie's screams of fear are very entertaining <3 #wh fantasy au #rambles from the bog #of course i imagine that wally Does have to play the 'home' card #its a small-ish ship! a brig! not a lot of crew needed to operate that babe! #and since barnaby has his hands full / howdy is borderline unconscious #eddie is (affectionately said) useless / wally doesnt have his staff / etc #home is needed! #in my mind wally's boot comes loose and he goes weeeee right into the water in the kraken's grasp #and a minute later a 'second' - black - kraken (home) completely bodies the real kraken #and wally climbs over the side perfectly fine but very soaked #barnaby: ARE YOU OKAY??? WHAT HAPPENED #wally: home took care of it @:] #sally: what does that mean #wally: they took care of it @:] #everyone: *terrified yet impressed silence* #and then wally passes out bc letting home out like that takes an almost lethal amount of energy & effort <3

god im thinking again abt. malenia turning caelid into a scarlet rot wasteland and it was absolutely not what she intended. fighting and being prepared to kill radahn is one thing but they were too evenly matched, leaving her either no other choice but to unleash scarlet aeonia/it happened beyond her control because the goddess of rot would not let her champion die, functional empyrean or not (i always always think about malenia whispering smth to radahn in that final moment. she knew what was about to happen..) but malenia is not about destruction!!! conquest, sure, for miquella's sake but the age of unalloyed gold is built on ideals of peace and equality, especially for the afflicted, the outcasts. unalloyed gold is beauty and flowers and dreams. not whatever the scarlet rot turned caelid into,,,, and sure sure demigod slumber/malenia having to be carried back all the way to the haligtree sanctum and the timeline is extremely unclear (it is implied she only wakes up when you enter her boss room) but i also like the idea of her. giving up on it all. defending the empty womb of miquella's tree, again, sure, but going out and securing territory? beating back her siblings? after what happened with radahn, what she did to radahn...... + the implication of the next time she goes into god slumber she will emerge as goddess of rot / fully an avatar of an outer god; not only was her twin taken from her, leaving her with no choice but to await his return tm, the battlefield is also taken from her because does she really want to chance that happening again? h.

#ELDEN RING BLOGGING #GUESS WHO BOOTED UP HER GAME AGAIN i spent one second in caelid and im not okay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! #also haligtree IS laced with scarlet rot already though malenia's presence alone. i am simply not okay about it #whatever holy empire her brother wanted/is going to build (FOR HER!!! NEVER FORGET!! the ultimate goal is curing her) but she is #a corrupting influence. her very presence is corrupting what miq is trying to build. the tragedy of these two!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! #hhhhhhhh i cant believe it's been a year. i cannot believe what bright of a spot this game was in the middle of the worst era of my life #i miss maleniaposting i miss exploring and not knowing anything. i wasn't even sure she'd be in the game/let alone a boss #VIVIDLY remember finding one of the remembrance towers and being like hm maybe that's where morgott's (?) rune goes #looking it up on the wiki and getting hit by THIS IS WHERE U ACTIVATE MALENIAS REMEMBRANCE like SORRY WHAT #this game is simply so much to me my brain lives there. the last bastion of who i used to be................

Hi! Sorry to bother you but I read your tags in this post you reblogged and couldn't help to be curious about you're referring to. I'm not updated with the comics/DC fandom but I love the batfam and I would like to know the context. Have a nice day!

The dc fandom has a hard time. Reading comics. So their interpretation of characters is so warped from only interacting with fan content that sometimes it’s like. Borderline unrecognizable. And I’m incredibly mentally ill about Jason Todd and have a hard time interacting with fandom content bc they’re not getting his character right

#it goes both ways some people want to make him into a big dumb jock who just kills peoples to kill people and others who wanna make him some #sad soft boy who’s never done anything wrong and both of them are wrong #sorry I have strong opinions and am like Extra insane about him currently I’m actually getting ready to boot up Arkham knight Lmao #Arkham answers #arkhamanswers #arkham rambles #arkhamrambles

“the academy has a gender bias and a genre bias working against Greta and Margot’s favor” and “the academy loves Ryan Gosling and probably tripped over themselves in the rush to nominate him in a showy comedic supporting role in a movie that was a box office hit” are two statements that can both be true at the same time.

#if anything gosling should have been kicked out for charles melton #I mean they gave this big blockbuster comedy based on existing IP 8 nominations so I wish ppl would calm down like they expected better lol #and 4 of those noms are picture screenplay and double supporting #black panther is prob the closest comparison and it missed out in all but 1 of the top line categories #same goes for best director honestly #you thought they were gonna nominate greta for barbie in this crazy competitive year?? we should be grateful that it’s not 5 dudes #greta still got the screenplay nom and margot got the best picture nom so they are doing fine #also I wish ppl would shut up about original song #I’m just Ken is fun and I’m glad it’s not just that boring af billie eilish song #they should have booted that for dua lipa and annette for margot (sry annette ily) #tbh tho I enjoyed barbie just fine but it’s nowhere near my top 10 lol #it’s not even in my top 5 pre-existing IP movies lol #oscars #barbie #mel talks
