i found a hatchet half-buried in the muddy wetlands. i rinsed him off in some stormwater and carried him the rest of the way home. i realize now that i should have just let him be, but that didn't occur to me until it was too late. now, i suppose, we wait

addited: finnie agrees that nothing good can come of this

So I finally made a thing! :3c gonna make this my main blog intro!

My name is Xed/Pastel ^v^ (He/Xe/They)! I am 24 years old and any other art accts will likely have the username pastelxapple if you want to find me on other platforms!

Please be aware I likely will not draw nsfw! There may be suggestive art tho from time to time :3c

I've technically been in the TF2 community for more than 6 years but I just recently got back into it as of 2024!

Pr0shipper/“problematic” accounts DNI!!! I will block you >:(((

@/hoshi-tsubasa is my twin! Her art is just as incredible so go check her out too if you'd like! She also draws TF2 stuff here and there, plus she has some TF2 merch you can check out on her redbubble!

I have other favorite TF2 ships that I don't have listed above in the "Meet The Artist" template that I may draw from time to time! However, you will not see me draw HeavyMedic or SniperScout ships, as those are not ships I'm particularly fond of compared to others ;3; very sorry! (ALSO ABSOLUTELY NO SPYSCOUT GET OUT OF HERE WITH THAT DISGUSTING STUFF) I do like most TF2 ships tho! 💖

Please be respectful! I have major anxiety and communication/socializing is difficult for me, so I may not engage in conversations much ;0; I will do my best to respond to my inbox so please be patient with me!

In addition, please be aware I have ADHD and an alter system, so please note that I may go silent with posts every once in a while. My mental health is not a subject I care to make front and center here, so I prefer any questions or topics of such be kept private! Thank you! 💖

My hyperfixations do shift so I may hop from one media to another! I will usually post my other non-TF2 art on my instagram, but all TF2 content will be here!

If you want to use my art as a profile pic please ask me first!!! DO NOT REPOST OR EDIT MY ARTWORK!!!!

#please be kind about my personal favorite ships or characters #I can and will block anyone who is rude about them :(((#also please don't flood my comments trying to convince me to like other ships #I get anxious easily and it makes me uncomfortable #team fortress 2 #tf2 #team fortress 2 art #tf2 art #tf2 engineer #tf2 medic #tf2 spy #tf2 sniper #tf2 scout #my art #xed art

At the bus stop one time there was a gaggle of preschoolers waiting to catch the bus for a field trip day, and someone walked past with a couple of friendly little dogs, to great general delight.

But after a little bit, the dogs were getting overwhelmed, and the preschoolers were gently coaxed to back off so the person with the dogs could continue on. Specifically, one of the preschool teachers said, "Sometimes, when you're small, being surrounded by big people can be a bit scary and overwhelming. Even if they are friendly."

This was recieved as great wisdom: after all, the preschoolers were also small, and understood how scary and overwhelming big people could be! And the dogs were indeed even smaller than the preschoolers, so it made sense.

What was funny and charming was that, upon absorbing and reflecting on this wisdom, they all felt the need to tell it to one another. In tones of great insight, they turned to one another and said, "Did you know? Sometimes when you are small, being surrounded by big people can be scary and overwhelming! Even if they are friendly!" Back and forth, without any particular concern that they were all saying the same thing. Have reached comprehension of an insight, it must be shared!

I must say that this behavior is less charming in tumblr users than in preschoolers. Not least because tumblr users, having gained a little analytical skill to misuse, insist on Summarizing and Generalizing and Unifying the insights they repeat, quickly turning any interesting new information into formulaic dogmatic mush.

#i made the mistake of looking in the notes of the beach sand post i reblogged to see if anyone else had interesting comments #And the rate at which it went from like #1) person states with moderate confidence an opinion based on their personal observations #2) multiple people reply with “wow thats so insightful!” (aka it aligns with my preconceived notions of how things work)#3) someone else adds additional personal observations which are not really relevant but which can be absorbed into the narrative #4) people start outright stating the underlying belief on which this bias is constructed as if it were a fresh insight #5) general derisive attitude towards people who haven't seen the Obviously Correct solution to this complex real world problem yet #It's very.......#It's not like it's a high stakes post but it's such a microcosm of the whole dogmatic phenomenon #Also this js a more specific gripe to My Field or w/e #But the degree to which people react to the problems caused by the whole “Control of Nature” era of engineering #with this equally reductive “Nature will Fix Everything” type of attitude #Is sooooo frustrating.#Yes a great many of our current problems could have been avoided if we had not made massive changes to ecosystem processes on the assumptio #That they were simple and we understood them. And that they would respond in predictable ways.#the simplicity in retrospect of “wow we Should Not have done that” does not mean that they are simple to undo!#You can't go back in time. You can't turn back the clock on chaotic processes #Which is. Almost every process ever.#Restoration is hard! Returning to previous regimes of sediment or flooding or fire is tricky and full of foibles!#Moving towards a future which doesn't suck as much even if the past cant be recreated is also uncertain and difficult!#It's frustrating to see people act all high and mighty about how they Respect Nature unlike whoever is making all these decisions #When their understanding of the natural processes in question is AS simplistic as the people who caused the whole mess back in 1910 or w/e #Like I'm not saying there's not bad interests standing in the way of functional restoration on all levels #That's very much a fight to be fought.#But looking at that fight-in-process and saying “wow none of you Respect Nature like me uwu let nature fix it”#Is.#Ugh.

Today marks 105 years since the Boston Molasses Flood incident.

21 people were killed and 150 injured.

What a fucking shitshow!

A massacre.

Of sorts.

A molasses massacre.

A molassacre?

Idk.

8,700 cubic meters of the stuff! Flooding the place!

I recall this meme my sister sent me last year:

The engineering prowess of the Vespasianus Titus Tunnel shows how the Romans skilfully diverted floodwaters to protect an ancient harbor. By defying time and nature’s fury, the site is a remarkable testament to their ingenuity.

1919: The Sugar Tsunami of Boston

On January 15, 1919, Boston witnessed an extraordinary disaster that sounds almost too bizarre to be true: the Great Molasses Flood. This catastrophic event occurred when a massive storage tank containing over two million gallons of molasses burst, unleashing a tidal wave of the sticky substance through the streets at an estimated speed of 35 mph. The flood was not only a surreal spectacle but a deadly one, claiming 21 lives and injuring 150 people.

Molasses, the central figure in this disaster, is a byproduct of sugar refining, known for its thick, syrupy consistency and sweet flavor. It is widely used in cooking and baking, as well as in the production of rum and other industrial goods. Despite its commonplace nature, the Great Molasses Flood highlighted the potential dangers of industrial storage and the catastrophic consequences of negligence.

The sheer volume of molasses, coupled with its thick consistency, posed unique challenges for rescue and cleanup efforts. In the cold winter temperatures, the molasses quickly thickened, hampering attempts to free those trapped by the deluge. The disaster caused significant damage to the North End neighborhood, destroying buildings, overturning vehicles, and leaving a sticky residue that was notoriously difficult to clean. It took weeks to clear the molasses from the streets, and the harbour remained discoloured until summer.

The aftermath of the flood had lasting impacts beyond the immediate cleanup. It led to a reevaluation of safety standards and regulations for industrial construction, marking a turning point in how such facilities were built and maintained. The tragedy underscored the importance of regulatory oversight to prevent similar disasters in the future.

Saturday afternoon ride on a rainy day. Engine not running it's best. Spark plugs wires should have been replaced a long time ago. But it still runs so let's go!
