#humanities are vital

[poorly-drawn-mdzs]

Expertise can't help you here.

#dungeon meshi #kabru #laios touden #falin touden #Happy Thistle Thursday once again. Have I been holding on to this comic for several weeks? Sure have! #I forgot how long it takes for Chimera Falin to come into play. #I still really love my 'better drawn' art of her - unfortunately it was several weeks too early for the anime only folks. #Slowly getting the hang of drawing Laios. I don't know why I struggle so much but I am getting...somewhere. #Meta time: God damn I love how the chimera shows off the expertise and gap between Kabru and Laios. #The truth is: they are both *right* and they are both *wrong*. #This creature is a combination of monster and human and they only have the skillset to deal with one of those. #Kabru goes for all the human vitals - but she isn't human. #Laios tries to approach her as a monster and is struck down by the humanity he sees in her. #She is something new that defies what they *both* understand about the world. And that makes her such a perfect antagonist. #The damsel was the dragon all along! #...She is really so cute though. Terrifying! But adorable. I am so excited to see the boom of fanart for her.

You don't need to believe that people as a whole are good or well-intentioned to be an optimist about fixing climate change.

A lot of the time, it's enough to trust in this: people hate being screwed over. And even more than that, they hate feeling screwed over.

Climate change is actively screwing over almost every single person on this planet, whether they know it or not. We just need to keep making sure that people do know that they're getting screwed over, along with all their loved ones, and who's doing it.

Spite and righteous anger will honestly do a lot of the rest.

#hope #good news #hope posting #climate change #climate optimism #life #not news #advice #me #human nature #like. obviously this is imho. but also I'm genuinely convinced that I'm right #spite and anger are powerful motivators #there are scientists who argue that anger's whole evolutionary purpose #is to keep us from being screwed over #because that's so vital to our survival #and what's more vital to our survival than a liveable planet??? #channel your anger into action #do not let anyone tell you that optimism or being an activist or being part of a healthy community means never being angry #that is so so untrue #and if you find a way to channel your anger and pain and grief to do GOOD in the world #to help people #then that will also do a lot to stop your emotions from eating you up inside #hopepunk #anger #spite #optimism #hopeposting #humanity

Hey major shout-out to my fellow trans Jews. This year has been hell and it's hard not to feel like we've been completely abandoned, betrayed, shut out, and made unsafe across the full political spectrum.

I'm so sorry; we deserved better. I hope you're okay and standing strong - we will get through this together 🕎 🏳️‍⚧️ ✡️

#the right either actively or passively wants us dead or disappeared because of our genders #and the left apparently wants us dead or disappeared for being Jews #where can we go? #who can we turn to? #who can we rely on but ourselves? #it's terrifying and excruciating #I'm so tired of begging people to see me as a person #trans advocacy is so important right now and being in trans community is so vital #and yet far too many trans activists and community leaders were cheering on the deaths of my people not three weeks ago #pan-Jewish solidarity is so important right now and being in Jewish community is so important #and yet a disturbing number of the strongest voices advocating for Jewish people's humanity and right to self-determination #are also very right-wing #and refuse to see not even the truth of our lived experiences but fail entirely to see our humanity as trans people at all #so again I ask: where are we supposed to go??

How long will it take till El and Guzma start showing *CANON* feelings towards eachother?

*looks at planned story arcs* Ok so we have regular bonding shenanigans, then we have a vital Guzma arc in here, an El arc planned as well, plans for Season 3, scheduling time for comics between commission work and other projects, calculating... ...ah shit we'll be here for another 7 years again, won't we

#I HAVE NO CLUE HOW LONG THIS WILL TAKE TO MAKE TBH #I HAVE AN OUTLINE OF THE WHOLE STORY #and I mean the W H O L E STORY #It has changed over the years but the most vital arcs REMAIN #I'm working on a new comic RIGHT NOW and I hope I'll continue to improve on my working efficiency #so panels get done quicker with more simplified shading and backgrounds #I AM getting faster at drawing humans I noticed so that's great! #I hope you'll enjoy the ride because there's a lotta good stuff in there along the way! #mod #reply

the rest don't matter

a.k.a. an overly earnest entry for spncarfuckersweek

#supernatural #dean winchester #impala #a #thank u chevrolet car manual website that tried to make me pay $5 for a pdf but i didn't. i pirated the car. downloaded the car (photo) #SO!! i did NOT draw the car photo (obviously) or the car part diagram. they are stolen from the manual. #first of all i do not own a car i have never driven a car i do not have a drivers license #however. and this is vital. i am a carfucker purist. #also a boatfucker purist but that's beside the point #none of that human version of the car by curse stuff or whatever. that's weak. you have to want to fuck the actual car. #also enjoy this amount of art while it lasts i.e. while i'm still on holiday haha

As funny as it can be to joke about the mess™ that is currently twitter, it's super depressing to see so much digital history destroyed because a billionaire is having a temper tantrum.

Decades of news, public reactions to political scandals and first hand accounts are suddenly erased, not to mention all the art that is now completely lost. It's all gone --just because of one man's fragile ego. It's actually really tragic to think about.

I will say, choosing to make your way through a bunch of point-and-click games on itch.io will single-handedly remind you that creativity is not "dead" or "corporatized" but actually, we as a species are still amazing, wildly inventive, and largely unhinged; if you claim otherwise, you're just not looking at the right bits.

#between horror games on itch.io and nosleep on reddit I think the horror genre might have a really specific crown #the ''congratulations on maintaining the unglamorous grassroots creativity so vital to the overall human project'' crown #gameify horror

Sometimes I am reminded of the fact that Iorveth just like canonically has very pretty eyes (or very pretty eye 😔).

In TW2, none of the men have eyelashes while the women do. As examples for the men, we have Geralt himself, Letho, Dandelion, and Roche:

And as examples for the women, Triss, Saskia, Sheala/Síle, Philippa, and Mottle.

However, Iorveth does have eyelashes on his in-game model:

This is unique to him, not an elven trait, because as we can see on Cedric, Ciaran, and Ele'yas, they don't have eyelashes like Iorveth does:

And it's not a fluke or graphical glitch on Iorveth, either, he consistently has them throughout the game:

He's just really pretty like that.

#rambles #the witcher #the witcher games #iorveth #catch me looking at insignificant details because i spend too long staring at elves #yaevinn pencils his brows and iorveth has really nice lashes #and like on a character analysis level that is very interesting #not only was his eye something vital to him #he's an archer #he needs his vision #he would have had to relearn how to shoot with this impairment to his depth perception #but not only for it to be a practical thing #it's also like #something about him that is markedly beautiful #only to be bespoiled by the dh'oine #everything elven and beautiful must be tarnished by human hands #and so they took his eye #not that i think iorveth is particularly vain #but he is still proud in his own way #and it must sting to lose a point of pride #his marksmanship and his beauty both marred by the dh'oine #he's still very striking and he can still shoot a bow so it cannot be said that these things were 'ruined' #but it's just kind of adding insult to injury #as it were

Eh robot girls are all right but why are you all so obsessed with them

as much as I love the idea of baby corinthian with 3 pacifiers I regret to inform you that he popped out the morpheussy as a 30 something year old man. he had no childhood. he came out paying taxes.

#the art of little toddler cori holding Dream’s hand n stuff of that sort is so close to my heart regardless #i wonder if he ever gets sad about not having a childhood #vital part of the human experience number 5 million that he can never have #the sandman #the corinthian #dc comics #my posts

2 am and my npmd rotted brain is even more incoherent than usual but like... max explicitly saying that he views grace as "forbidden fruit", and while not said out loud, that is clearly also how grace views max... in christian doctrine, adam and eve ate the forbidden fruit and became sinful and unintentionally doomed the rest of humanity with original sin... grace having sex with max, tasting her forbidden fruit and becoming sinful and taking it upon herself to doom the rest of sinful humanity (well, dirty dudes, but she clearly doesn't have extreme qualifications for who could deserve that title)

#is this anything? fuck it. send post. #grace chasity #npmd #nerdy prudes must die #insert 'ive connected the dots' 'u didnt connect shit' 'ive connected them' meme #has grace still not abandoned her god even as she works for the lords in black??? #does she view herself as a main part of god's plan? as the start of the next age? as part of the rapture? #as part of the fire that will cleanse the world of sin? #does she see herself like eve? #a woman made in god's image and was in his direct light who succumbed to sin so hard she doomed everyone else? #but ultimately vital to the story. to humanity? a suffering but major chess piece in god's plan? #do any of these thoughts make any fucking sense or even connect that well??? almost definitely not!!!! #it's 3:04 in the morning now. goodness. #what is my brain if not a microwave that spins grace chasity around and cooks weird thoughts and half baked so-called analyses about her #she's just so fascinating to me okay #my posts

In all of our defence, Karen's immediate reaction to Bruce was "oh my god you're huge"

We've already learned from Violet exactly what that means

you're not wrong

#original #ficblogging #a core aspect of the character that i have strongly maintained from my middle school daydreams #is that she is a Normal Human Woman and somehow the only one that notices #that all the superheroes are like a foot taller than everyone else #i owned a how to draw comics book that was like 'superheroes should always be a head taller than everyone else' and i was like ??? #because personally every time i turn around and someone huge is standing there i don't particularly care about his rep as a dork #i'm like BWAH #so this is a vital aspect of her character #that she is someone who will turn around and see a fucking huge guy and go BWAH #she sees bruce wayne and she goes HEY. WHY ARE YOU A FUCKING WALL. WHAT GIVES. #which is something that bruce #crucially #thinks is extremely funny

Thinking about sugar daddy Joel (when am I not) and then the wheels start turning in my brain… and then I realize: you know who would EAT as a sugar daddy? JAVI PE��A!!! Bc one thing about him is he WILL get a girl out of a situation

I have specifically been avoiding Narcos because I know this son of a bitch

will absolutely destroy me as a person.

Y'all think I'm feral for Joel Miller and Din Djarin?

I just know Javier Peña would turn me into a monster.

#It's safer for humanity if I stay away from Narcos #but I would literally trade vital organs #to be the sugar baby of ANY pedro pascal character

(Spoilers for The Locked Tomb, esp Nona the Ninth)

I know a lot of folks were meh on the storyline with Nona and the schoolkids, and felt it didn’t really progress the plot much.

But I think that they might actually be the most important factor in the end. They were the purest, most human connections Nona had. And now that she has returned to being Alecto, that is vital. She is angry, she has been hurt and betrayed. House belief is that she will end Jod and the world. And maybe she would.

But you can’t take loved away.

And it is stated over and over that Nona loves those kids. Those scrappy, coarse, rough little survivors. And Noodle.

And its no mere chance that they are literal children. They are humanity’s future. And I think that love is what will be the deciding factor for Alecto. She won’t want to destroy them. She will want a better future for them. And Harrow will follow her in that goal. She will have found her true god, like Anastasia before her. And they will be what finally truly saves humanity.

Because you can’t take loved away. And Nona/Alecto loves those kids.

#the locked tomb #the locked tomb spoilers #*ben wyatt meme* Its about the relationships #took me a while to figure why there was such focus on the school stuff #but in looking forward to what has been set up #i can see why it was vital #nonas little homelife and her schoolfriends #show her the side of humanity alecto would have never seen with jod #she played with children and dogs #she had her hair braided and family breakfast #she swam in the sea with the jellyfish #and those things are all worth saving #nona the ninth #alecto the first

just discovered that all the wikipedia pages for the protein im studying absolutely suck ass. going on an editing crusade about it

#im going to add REVIEW ARTICLE citations. you're not supposed to use the primary literature for this! you animals! people could say anything #the main article for my protein was clearly written by a neuroscientist who was also an idiot #and apparently just did not bother to check if like any of the ideas they're describing flow together or are related #or if they're ignoring the broadly acknowledged PRIMARY FUNCTION of the protein in favor of poorly studied minutiae about axons #the article about the specific form im studying-- which is in fact extremely well-studied because it's developmentally vital in most #bilaterians and causes serious developmental diseases people actually care about in humans-- #contains a SINGLE PLAGIARIZED PARAGRAPH citing only a DEBUNKED CLAIM FROM 1997 #but that one has to be completely overhauled so im waiting to do it until tomorrow & just left a bitchy comment in the talk page for now #box opener

horrific alternate version of my narry variation who looks similar but is that creepy kind of nice. like super calm, serene, calls people "my dear" but not romantically. is suave-ish but something about it feels intrinsically off. not bc it's an ego thing he revels in—that's og narry exclusive—but bc genuinely nothing ever phases that guy. it is not rooted in insecurity or false bravado, he is in control. the version that the narrator wants to be, what he wants other people to think he is, not knowing that the other guy lacks the very part of him that makes him distinct and alive. and y'know. generally likable despite his grumpiness. absent of the complex but still afflicted and afflicting the horrors.

... scary. *hits with narry's new cane* give back my normal old man.

#ney's idle chatter (random textposts) #i like my grouchy boy just the way he is #mostly canon-accurate (i try) and basically a whiny old man who's also a dork and has too much physical power #but this version. would be way more like a villain actually. #he sounds less fun to mess with bc he'd roll with it #drawing it feels like summoning something lmaoo #the narrator's insecurities as a storyteller are actually the most human aspects of his character and they are vital to the experience #bc it is only through that and his resulting stubborness that we get his pettiness or his anxiety or even his spiteful endings
