sixguns & innuendo

#mantimer #mancomer #tmwnn #douglas mortimer #manco #dollars trilogy #artner #theyre fully clothed but im adding the mature community label bc the phallic innuendo is . quite overt. #hhhhhh i've been thinking a lot lately about gun fetishism in westerns. #the scenes in fafdm where manco and mortimer handle each other's weapons already contain fair amounts of subtext #but i thought.. why not increase the homoeroticism ! #sixguns are already practically treated as extensions of their gunslingers. why not let manco give mortimer's buntline a lil kiss? ;0 #this was originally gonna be a two-part set with a companion image of mortimer returning the favor on manco's colt #(bc. u know. ''equal partnership'' and all that) #but i spent so much fucking time doing the rendering for this image that i decided to forgo the sequel. sorry + not sorry. #but !!! wow im so proud of the shading on this one. it took me an insane amount of time. please clap. #i might make a separate post later about western genre theory and cowboy gun eroticism but for now.... yehaw for phallic imagery ! #for a few dollars more (1965) #westerns #🤠 #🍝 #art #pardner posts

reading volume 105 and I had forgotten we actually got mihawk's bounty and on page acknowledgement that he's a better swordsman than shanks??? they have half a billion difference in bounty mihawk's is still over half a billion above luffy's this is absolutely fantastic to me for many many reasons but especially because by god zoro seriously fought him ten volumes in. he really tried to fight someone with three times king's bounty with only one named sword and three weeks of experience as a pirate. he actually left his village at age sixteen specifically looking for him and went up to him at age nineteen convinced he was gonna win. and he had the guts to complain about mihawk using the butter knife to fight him too how is he alive he's so lucky mihawk felt like adopting that day

#i have already extensively lost my mind over final boss mihawk cruising the waters of the plot since the early chapters for #absolutely no reason whatsoever and tricking you into forgetting he's an actual god walking between ants #but when i read these things in the manga it fucks me over all over again like #yes sure shanks was there first chapter too but not as an enemy??? not sitting smack in the middle of the shichibukai #nearly all of them luffy defeated when he was still nothing more than a rabid chihuahua??? #insane!!! mihawk is insane!!!! #but the fact that he has only half a billion difference with shanks ESPECIALLY trips me cause #strength isn't the only factor in deciding a bounty in one piece!!! #influence! power on the seas! number of territories and subordinates!! the type of crimes they committed!! #they all play a factor in deciding someone's worth together with their strength #and shanks has all of that #all of that factors in his four billions bounty #but mihawk has none of that!!! no power! no territories! he doesn't even have crewmates!!! #he's alone doing his thing by himself!!!! #he /was/ called the marine hunter so I'll guess he does have the incidents to make his bounty increase #but aside from that it's all calculated on his strength??? his strength alone is worth 3.5 billions????? #how high would his bounty even be if he had a fleet and territories like shanks does?????? #dude #dude I'm obsessed with mihawk #in case that wasn't clear or obvious enough #......he's pretty much worth the added bounties of marco king and katakuri i cannot wrap my head around this #he straight up says he doesn't want to be an emperor is this why he isn't one it is isn't it dude made it so himself #oh i LOVE him when is he becoming relevant already #if oda doesn't give me either a fight between him and shanks or with them allied fighting side by side before the end I'll cry fr

This is the lovely post by MoonIvy that inspired me to get myself back into reading chinese by the way:

And this is MoonIvy's other amazing post, which includes a list of everything they read so far in order of difficulty which is a great reference list if you are looking for something to try, and includes some suggestions on listening study things you can try too.

MoonIvy is part of the group managing the Heavenly Path site I keep mentioning, that just has so many phenomenally organized media recommendations, a good guide to starting to read, and lots of linked resources:

#rant #reading #resources #chinese resources #rec list #so in these posts moonivy mentions some good starting places for HSK 4 people to push into reading #and i agree at about hsk 4 you can handle 1 a ton of graded readers (from 500 hanzi to 2000 as you go) #and 2 u can eventually handle native novels at hsk 4. thats when i pushed into native novels #i would say though. my own difference in learning #is i personally found it motivating and enjoyable to read WAY above my level at times. #i personally always go between 1 easier thing for myself and 1 harder thing to read. i felt that kept my #reading level both progressively increase while also giving me easier stuff to practice extensive reading #and for me it was HIGHLY motivating to read 100 pages of priest in print 2 years in #HIGHLY motivatkng to read tian ya ke with a click dictilnary 10 months in. #to see chapters go from 1.5 hours to read to 50 minutes to 40 minutes to 25 minutes. #so for me. i would say if you WANT to read something way above your level? just go ahead #you can always bounce between easier and harder stuff #i find a good balance worked better for me. and also i tend to learn better when massively challenged ToT #idk why i think its just cause its familiar. id read my parents novels at age 8. ToT it feels #more like how i leafned my native language to simply read my foreign language the same #though i know it demotivates some people. in contrast i find keeping some harder stuff on hand #reminds me to challenge myself and not idle at the level im at. #so i say? assume u can do ANYTHING with success. and do it. and when it burns u out or is not fun anymore? #go do something easier u Know is Easy. (and it sure will feel easy after the Anything before lol) #then u get confidence doing it easy. and remember ur #still capable of Anything so try again when ur ready.

Anyway the thing about computers is that they're basically just maths all the way down.

Not just one kind of maths either mind you - there's the typical modular integer arithmetic and boolean algebra, but also decimals in both fixed point and floating point configurations and all manner of other tricks, as well as the ability to convert between different kinds of operations and representations pretty much on the fly.

A single byte can be both a number, a character, a memory address, and series of true/false statements, potentially all at the same time.

The whole reason they're called Computers was in reference to a specific occupation with the same name, where a Computer was a person who was basically hired to do mathematical calculations; an Electronic Computer was basically a machine that did the same thing.

#going by wiki the occupation arose in the 17th century #astronomers of the time would often hire computers #to assist with the extensive amounts of calculations required #as the amount of calculations necessary increased #it went from single individuals to entire teams of computers #accordingly sometime towards late 19th century and onwards #the job went from being mostly men to being mostly women #a trend that was all the more pronounced with the world wars #since fighting in wars was and is seen mostly as a man thing #most of the computing was done by college educated women #someone had to do all the grids and tables and other aids #for anything from navigation to artillery trajectories #anyway history is kind of interesting like that #and now we have electronic computers that are math machines #which can use that math to make complex 3d graphics

I like to think of 3rd as a former bodyguard of All for One, maybe he wasn't born with a quirk too. Maybe he received one from All for One and dedicated himself to serving him as a result only to come to his senses later on.

There was a bit of time when I thought that the ponytailed masked bodyguard of AfO was going to turn out to be the same as the pineapple silhouette one, (the indents on one's mask being similar to the shape the other's headband made from the side) and that like, he put his hair up when he changed sides and wore slightly new clothes and that he was the one to either get Yoichi out of that vault or pass information onto Second so he could get him out. But then we got more clear shots of Third with lighter hair and it seemed more likely Giga was the fate of the bodyguard... But I'll always have a fondness for former AfO guard Third. Perhaps his turning is why Yoichi is glad to see Izuku trying to save Tenko, perhaps that's why Third kept away from Izuku, shame or sure that he'd fail because at least Third was an adult at the time, and what hope do they really have, and why drag the kid in further... Love that plus I think we really should have more former villains in the OfA lineup

#also if AfO gave Third fa jin i think i would hate the quirk a lot less #it's so booooooring and dumb and just ofa-lite and i was really hoping for interesting weak early quirks #to test Izuku's quirk clever thinking #like the ability to increase the temperature inertia of a small bit of liquid- keep a cup of water cooler longer or a bowl of soup warm #and now Izuku's got to figure out the combat use of that boosted to 100x #BUT see now if AfO really did keep finding so many little stockpile quirks #itd kinda make sense that he'd just be tossing em out #to his expendable body guard and his weak little brother and who knows who else #stockpile being common like that and thrown away and then two of them together contributing to the downfall of AfO? #to the one who devalued them so much? that'd be neat! #but noooo the most villainous we can get is 'ohhh second and third killed a few people in their fight against AfO' #which as it happens after the reveal of AfO's extensive murder -> zombie guard pipeline and the villains killing thousands on thousands #with cities activity wrecked and the only reason it's not a total villain victory at all is the Hawks murder moment like.... #yeah I'm not exactly feeling the weight of Second or Third having blood on their hands and possibly occasionally losing sight of the #humanity of their enemies. especially since the only specific we see is them rescuing Yoichi anyway so like #that would have hit more of we had seen some of their prior actions! that could have been actually setting up past villain users! #Third having actually worked for AfO first! even if it was i don't know‚ a double agent move‚ could have really dug that point home #but anyway yeah i like that. third deserves more cool backstories in fic #anon #pocket talks to people

description of a substantive billions dream

a typical [school problems] genre thread of assigned fiction reading became a book about winston as an elementary or middle schooler, and how there was a new girl who, i guess to sort of change the conversation around herself from [being the new girl] instead established the topic as her having a crush on someone, this being winston who she’d already interacted with more often than others / was closest to friends with. but he was kind of uncomfortable with this and so there was a scene with them talking about it and her explaining it seemed like the kind of thing she was supposed to do, with mutual genuinely liking each other but not necessarily so far as [let’s declare mutual crushes or bother with that framework at all at the present]. and yet there was a sort of dramatic irony tone conveyed for the audience that, not that this was incorrect / inaccurate or anything, but naturally that anything associated w/that framework might not be off the table forever, especially what with having a whole discussion about things really here just cementing that they do both want to be / consider themselves like friends proper. there was a little illustration like so:

i don’t remember my dream supplying a name for the girl, just like how it didn’t supply any particular design for elementary or middle schooler winston than “smaller, i guess”....despite things only featuring this small winston at the start, it then became a) about regular billions b) directly observable as An Event as well as being relayed through reading the book still and c) about winston and taylor and others, including the older unnamed dream oc girl, having a pleasant day outdoors in a meadow by water and sometimes in a cave with water, as a helpful offshoot of another prior typical dream thread.

more granular and vivid details: one scene being observed half directly as a real event, half through reading about it, ended with philip and taylor at a distance (winston keeps the pov) sitting in a field by water, and philip being playfully affectionate with taylor like 😉 and holding their hand and calling them “baby” while taylor is like 😳 like so:

i read this part like :o ! and turned to noted blogger nothingunrealistic like “omg what page/chapter are you on” and they had not yet reached it so i was like “omggg...” expressions to the [honey you’ve got a big storm coming (positive)] effect

and another scene specific enough to have drawn was that, after having enjoyed a swim (philip constantly appearing in usual canon-type business suits despite the outdoors activities, even this one) winston kind of [tag you’re it]’d philip out of the water and they had this drenched like wrestle embrace ft. winston pressing his face to philip in as close to a kiss as anything else that happened. had as much or more as a like lighthearted playful energy as anything as well despite the [intricate rituals] and [sounds like a sexually charged kind of situation perhaps] lol like well once again it needn’t Not be that, but things are casual and spontaneous And homoerotic. everyone simply being comfortable enough despite tensions of [discuss that you’re nervous abt there being hot gossip abt you as a Crush] or [flirtation ft. the recipient being flustered] or [plenty of physical touch plus affection] like so:

let’s go boys! and of course, relevant as well that winston was Deeply Affectionate and Closely Aware/Attentive towards taylor the whole time, sometimes conveyed simply through how again taylor scenes were seen through him as the pov character and myself as the pov beyond that, like, of course there’s tayston and of course there’s plenty of like, well anyone here may be liable to kiss anyone and everyone else. tl;dr everyone enjoying this refreshing outdoors excursion and being comfortable in the marinade of any of that tension re: potential increased emotional and/or physical intimacy with each other out there, like, as a metaphor, having a stretch and despite the element of [!] there it can also be unthreatening, welcome, pleasant and it can be like “well i’m glad for the greater flexibility this can yield. and/or being warmed up for something. and/or easing an uncomfortable physical sensation. etc” lol. good for them

#winston billions #corned beef #tayston #taylip #and others.... #can't say i'm often thinking abt winston/philip material lol but like i'm not not thinking about it and perfectly unsurprising dream moments #like sure anyone could be getting homoerotic w/each other out here. ofc #including also winston and that dream provided oc....no sense upon waking of like. oh this was drawing from [xyz] preexisting character.... #but not like the dream really got into many specifics therein so why would it be based on anything (which prob Would come w/specifics) #sort of other nebulous Potential Dramatic Threads and Affection And Interest in all the vaguer dream scenes & all in b/w them...the theme #it's fun this was so extensive and of interest itself lol. [billions] often shows up more fleetingly like here's a ''preview'' of an episode #that's pretty uselessly unspecific like oh ppl are in a business meeting. & then the dream's abt failing to get to watch the ep lol thanks.. #these were drawn chronologically and thus gravitate towards my natural habits like; increasingly [honed lineart] increasing [color contrast] #really anyone Definitely Kissing in my dreams are some of the like rarest occasions #shoutout to this dream akd cameo where they showed up in some invented movie as like [another character's cool sexy lover] like oh hell yes #typecast just like irl as [tfw you're so epic and sexy and genderous] #it's now 8am so by ''last night'' i do mean the night before / leading into january thirtieth

exciting news!

i have figured out how to filter out all those damn x reader fics that don't tag themselves as x reader fics on ao3!

i simply exclude all fics categorized as f/m except for what i put on a damn whitelist.

#in other news i have once again increased my power level when it comes to filtering on ao3 #(learned how to use the 'NOT' boolean or w/e (it's '!' you put '!' in front of w/e you wanna have as an exception)) #recently i've been going through just the regular gnshn tag as a fandom on ao3 #bc i feel like there's not much in the pairing tags i check regularly so i figure i might as well like. entertain myself #by seeing what gen stuff is out there. but the raw fandom tags require Extensive filtering to be hospitable zones #and this is also how i learned there are some pairings i don't mind seeing when there are other ships around #but i don't really care abt when they're the Only ship going on so i figured out how to filter them out #but Only when otp:true applies to them so if they have side pairings or poorly tagged minor pairings they can stay #花話 #like those kinds of filters aren't useful when i'm looking through ship tags but they are Very useful in main fandom tags #ALSO. FUN FACT I LEARNED TODAY. THERE ARE ONLY 6.3K GNSHN FICS THAT ARE BOTH COMPLETE *AND* OVER 10K WORDS. LIKE WHAT THE FUCK #WELL. COMPLETE AND OVER 10K AND IN ENGLISH AND NOT CROSSOVERS #that is depressing! anyway

currently having a deeply surreal experience writing about the move to higher ground campaign for an academic assignment

#do i...do i disclose that i'm a twilight [fan-adjacent noun]? #i kinda feel like i should #bc like. i have first-hand (biased) knowledge of the social dynamics #of it getting increased attention in 2018 and 2020 #(huh weird why did that happen i say sweating & trying not to mention my internet friends) #anyways. that's the ongoing saga of this paper i'm writing #i got an extension to midnight tonight lol #so the drama continues

[itsahotminuteinbetween]

i just noticed (thought that has been plaguing me for two weeks) that I accidentally made witch eclipse too emotional and now I have to rewrite (reverse thought process cuz the only thing written was a timeline) his personality to make him a little less uh that

#random #witch eclipse #i think with all the silly stuff i've been drawing with him i kinda just forgot that he's supposed to be cold and cruel and volatile #cuz the way he's coded at the moment means that he's not going to get the pendant by any means necessary so uh #that's gotta be changed somehow #i do like the way i've characterized him tho #in the witch au he's not really as...explosive? as the og eclipse? #like yea he's like that but also he's kinda just? there? #i dunno how to explain it #he was angry and lashing out and everything in the beginning #but after realizing that no one was around to comfort him for his outbreaks #he kinda just. stopped experiencing emotions #he repressed a lot of stuff #that's kinda where his current personality stems from #where he always has to be doing something to prevent his brain from thinking about things he doesn't want to think about #i dunno how I'm going to incorporate lunar into this tho #because his relationship with lunar is similar to how it is in cannon #except he's not verbally abusive to lunar #he's not really physically abusive either #well at least not directly #he doesn't really view lunar as a person #he sort of just sees him as an extension of the pendant and a way to figure out its secrets and whatnot #kc-as caring as he was with eclipse-sort of established the fact that eclipse was just a project to him #this feeling increased greatly after the Argument #but that's where eclipse's behavior towards lunar stems from #anyways #rambles #in the tags specifically #wonder how much of this is gonna save #witch au

I am not possessive in the "you can't date anyone else" way. I'm in fact very pro-dating and loving as many people as you can.

I am however possessive in the sense that the food I cook for you better be your favorite food. No one else can hold the title.

#this is a joke obvi you can like other people's cooking #but i still wanna be your fave #i will make increasing more complicated and honestly show offy food until no one else can compare #this is jist an extension of my principle personality trait which is if you come to my house you will eat #no exceptions

[angorwhosebabyisthis]

man. honestly, i think it says something about the eternal question of whether my baseline thinking is supposed to be on the slower/stiller end, or if that being the case means something's Off, that my brain can in fact be going a mile a minute thinking hard about something and yet that still counts as elevator music to me the moment i turn part of my attention to something else

#whosebaby talks #it's the difference between 'brain is Simply' (pleasant vibing) and 'brain is Simply' (increasing restlessness and distress) #i think most people would assume i'm describing something Unpleasant when i say my brain is being a bunch of spider legs #but i'm like no that's Happy Moogle i am meant to be doing that fsjdjfkfkd #i do still have to steer away from it sometimes when i get overwhelmed by Too Many Thoughts at Once #or when the thing my brain has decided to gnaw on is Upsetting; and not in a way that's worth tackling to Process It at the moment #but yeah i think that's just generally what i'm supposed to be doing and when i'm not it's probably a brain fog/low energy/can't focus thing #if you think i am long-winded here the stuff i actually end up posting is like. the tip of the iceberg #if it's something that actually makes it here and isn't like a one-line shitpost or something #there is a very good chance it's a small condensed part of a subject i think extensively about for hours at a time on the regular #there's a lot lmao #i am the very model of a modern neurotypical etc

Graphic design artist Moataz Abu Sakran/ @moatazart has provided extensive documentation of the genocide against Gaza. His photos and videos have been used—often without credit—by major media outlets, and his posts are featured on this blog regularly.

Moataz and his wife and baby girl are trapped in the vicinity of Al-Shifa Hospital complex. The area has was under complete siege for 13 days, and made life even more difficult and dangerous than before. In addition to the physical violence of the siege, the occupation’s famine has made food extremely scarce—Moataz and Mariam can no longer find milk and nutritious food for baby Maria.

They were able to raise enough funds to begin the paperwork involved in evacuating to Egypt, but exorbitant processing fees have totally depleted the money they had reserved to find a place to stay in Egypt. They need funds to procure food and shelter while they rebuild their lives in Egypt (God willing), otherwise they will be homeless and destitute.

There was an increase in donations after we initially shared the link on this blog. We are hoping that will happen again. Please support Moataz’s family via this link so that they can reach safety. Even just a few dollars will help. If you can’t donate, please share the link on all your social media accounts.

loves you. hates them.

Rich!boyfriend who really isn’t your boyfriend but more of an arranged husband. He’s sweet and all but you think he’s a bit overbearing for someone you just met.

Rich!boyfriend who demands your free time, disregarding how tired you may be from working. Rich!boyfriend who hates how much you work and provide for your family, he realizes how soft and spineless you are when time comes for you to speak up for yourself.

Rich!boyfriend who’s intoxicated by the way you smile at him and the small touches you give him to express your gratitude for the excessive gifts. The way your eyes light up when you see him won’t ever get old to him. Rich!boyfriend who see’s the potential in you, even if your mother tells him otherwise.

Rich!boyfriend who is immediately consumed by disinterest whenever your mother and father want to speak with him. They have so much to say and critic about your life, yet, they rely on their young daughter to get them out of their financial burdens.

Rich!boyfriend who notices the behavioral change in your sister every time he comes around. The way she perks up when he enters the room, the difference in the way she dresses when she knows she’s going to see him versus when she doesn’t know. Rich!boyfriend who is disgusted by this and is even more repulsed when she tries to make a move on him. This pushes him to increase your time at his home and decrease the time you spend at your house. 

Manipulative!boyfriend who acts confused when you find your phone hidden away in his dresser drawer. Manipulative!boyfriend who forces you stay at his home for an extensive amount of time, convincing you that you are terribly sick from working so hard.

Manipulative!boyfriend who gives you a special type of medicine in your food so you stay sluggish and compliant. Manipulative!boyfriend who persuades you that the little white bottle he hides away is nothing and that you’re imagining things. 

Rich!boyfriend who assures you that you’ll feel better by the time the wedding rolls around.

Crazy!boyfriend who effectively got your family out your ear by smashing your phone to pieces and warning them that if they ever talked to you again, he’d do worse than cause a little car crash.

Did he forget to tell you that? 

Rich!boyfriend who lies assures you that he’ll find the people who T-boned your parents car.
