Hey guys isn’t it so cool how our spelunker RedCanary is named that? And how canaries were brought into mines, and their deaths would signal to the miners that they needed to leave before they died? The Canary is the first to die. And maybe RedCanary is dead, and maybe they’re not, but either way, they’re a symbol of the beginning of the horrible things to come

#tmagp #the magnus protocol #tmagp spoilers #RedCanary #I wonder why they named themselves that #did they like the bird? did they know the stories? #did they want to honor the canaries who’d lost their lives protecting their fellow cavers? #I can’t imagine they would know their fate #but perhaps they felt a kinship with the bird #did they first go spelunking before or after they joined the forum and named themselves this? #what were they like?

Sara from A Little Princess was the patron saint of weird little girls. Passionately telling stories about her special interest the French Revolution and Princess de Lamballe getting her head cut off and carried on a pike

#sara crewe #a little princess #not to be like 'shes just like me fr' but she's just like me fr. there's a reason i felt a kinship with sara #intense little girl using books and imagination to get her through stuff #it's been years since i've read that book but i remember the head on a pike story VERY well #just one of those things that stuck #love that when you're a child you're reading stuff like that and you're just like. ah yes of course. this is regular #but as an adult i'm a bit like ??? #also was there an anime based on the novel? must investigate sometime because i'm pretty sure i used to watch it back in the day

How much of the self is present in the ancestor?

#i was feeling really bad and dysphoric so i picked up the crayons. as you do #and this evolved out of it and it got me thinking about a “return to animal” type sentiment #like i was watching videos of apes last night and thinking how different it must be to simply exist in your body #without hiding it in clothes and gender conformity and such #and then i was thinking about the idea of “returning” to a state of being you haven't even existed in #couldn't exist in. because you are a product of what came before you etc #(and ofc apes are almost as different from the common ancestor as we are so it wouldn't be returning to ape but like yknow #the abstract idea of the beings we were before we were humans.) #and like why do we call it returning if we ourselves were never there? how much of ourselves actually exists in the past? #why is it that we feel enough kinship to the past that we say “return” when we think about existing there? #anyway. rhetorical questions mostly. this drawing isn't exactly about that train of thought #but i felt i needed to put it somewhere. and this is where i thought of it and i like the way the caption looks #this drawing is sort of about the feverish desire to rid myself of physical discomfort #griffffdraws

1st day as an amateur illustrator. I spent three hours collecting pictures of ancient china only to realise i was looking at the wrong dynasty but I forgot to label the pictures and i dont have an organisational system in place so i have no way of seperating them from the correct dynasty, inadvertently creating the world's dumbest and most low-stakes russian roulette.

4th day as an amateur illustrator. i found some really good sources on ancient china but they're all in chinese and i can't read chinese so i'm been painstakingly Ctr + P --ing it into google translate until finally i get to a scanned pdf and at this point i just decided to cut my losses and get ratio'd by armchair historians.

5th day as an amateur illustrator. im 3 days ahead of schedule and make a vague but grandiose boast about my incredible skills and enviable work ethic. i also have a 50 point essay due in two weeks i haven't touched but that's neither here nor there.

6th day as an amateur illustrator. i realise i've miss-read the dynasty for the Warlord's little hat (apparently ming and han look very similar when you're sleep deprived) so i have to white-out ALL his panels and redraw his hat. it's at this point i start to realise life is imitating art.

7th day as an amateur illustrator. i realise i've been in the wrong dynasty this whole time. op was probably talking about the tumultuous 3 kingdoms period (late 2nd century) NOT the peaceful Han dynasty (early 2nd century) which seems blindingly obvious in hindsight. i fight the urge to convert all my manuscripts to kindling.

8th day as an amateur illustrator. i get some sleep and realise the 3k period was only 60 years long. i can still use my han references. i don't really have to do anything except change my notes.

10th day as an amateur illustrator. I wasn't happy with the background on a panel because the foreshortening was slightly off-center so i cut out the parts i liked, pasted it onto a new sheet of paper and redrew it. no my essay is still not finished stop asking.

12th day as an amateur illustrator. i finally finish the comic 3 days behind schedule. i bus to the library with my stuff in a folder because i don't have a printer at home then i realise in my sleep deprived state i forgot to rub out the pencil lines and you can see them on the scan but i don't have a rubber so i use the pdf editor to white them out with my trackpad and then the wifi at the library keeps cutting out so I can't upload any files. i've decided this is a sign that i should finish my essay before i bus back home.

#wips #life imitates art #never have i ever felt a strong kinship with someone totally imaginary #comic pending watch this space :)

Athelstan: “The Vikings/Pagans have no art”

Dude have you even seen Ragnar’s sick raven tattoo that keeps getting more intricate the more character development he has, or are you just too busy staring longingly into his big blue eyes to notice

#babbles #vikings #athelstan #heard this and im like ‘athelstan!!! are you serious rn?’ #also fun fact i also have a head tattoo (not sure what its actually called but its by one of my ears) #not even slightly as cool as Ragnar’s but hey i feel a tattoo kinship now #didn’t hurt at all getting it which is funny bc it was by far the tattoo i was most scared to get #felt like nothing! just felt like my skull vibrating! #tempted to go and get it turned into some sick raven now no lie #get a raven tattooed behind each ear that’s just my bros hugin and munin bringing me the knowledge of the world

no because he was my role model as a child

I literally watched the first Harry Potter movie as a child and thought Snape and his long cloak was the coolest shit ever

also I don’t know who this meme belongs to (to credit them) I’ve seen it so many times and have had it saved in my screenshots for the longest time

#harry potter #severus snape #alan rickman #the one time I lived up to my expectations #Personality goals #Harry potter memes #also I loved his hair #shut up it's not greasy #as a person with naturally black hair I felt some kinship

Why do you think Larys gravitated towards Alicent and not say Rhaenyra? Did he think Alicent was easier to manipulate and more vulnerable or did he just think the greens were a safer bet?

it's half and half. i don't think larys is doing all that because he particularly believes in the traditional male inheritance and is ideologically aligned with the greens, nor that he thinks they are the safest bet (if he believed in this he would not have murdered his family lol). we don't actually know what are his grand plans in the books or in the show but while i don't believe it has to do exactly with personal power, it has to do with getting him into a position of considerable influence over the realm's affairs.

after saying this we can say that targeting alicent makes more sense than rhaenyra. why? for the same reason otto decides it's better to make alicent visit viserys to eventually trap him into marrying her rather than try to guide rhaenyra from zero. alicent is more pliable, more naive, and more willing to follow than to lead, even if she doesn't realize it that moment as the mother of the possible future king she has a lot of influence in court and council; larys has been watching her since she became queen (notice how he inserted himself in the women's circle during the hunt) and found her to be in the right position AND disposition. it was no accident that he finds her just after saying goodbye to otto in the godswood: she's finally free from her biggest influence, has no support system, and in such a vulnerable state that when larys does his tricks she falls really easily and believes all his words (the-green-dress-ramin-djawadi.mp3) because he empathizes with her ("when one is not invited to speak..."), speaks her fears out loud (rhaenyra, her lack of allies) and offers her his support when all she had was through otto.

as for larys, i like to think that he saw some parts of himself in her (outsiders, under strict parents, intelligent and overlooked), esp during those ten years of dinners where the friendly facade (or was it?!?!) was firmly in place (rip alicent you are never getting away) and that's why he doubles down in his punishments when she denies him. in any case, this would not had happened with rhaenyra at all. larys needs an entry and the only moment rhaenyra is vulnerable is when daemon leaves her pants down in the brothel, she's much more guarded and knows how to wield her privileges. poor larys would've been kicked out immediately plus after rhaenyra started seeing harwin there was NO WAY larys was going for the same route, that his brother liked her was already a mark against.

i think at this point when aegon was a baby many people were just waiting for viserys to change his mind, he doesn't really do much for rhaenyra so for them it was a matter of time. i think this is true for larys and because he's practically put all his eggs in alicent's basket he's throwing himself to be the best pet spy in the realm and not lose the foothold he has in the queen until the moment she or the cause is not useful to his goals anymore (let's remember he installed one of the puppet kings, did nothing when daemon took harrenhal, when alys did the same, and well, he did poison aegon lol).

#ask #Anonymous #alicent hightower #larys strong #alicent x larys #larys has a nose for young vulnerable maidens its true #also most of the appeal was that he felt a kinship to her. resented her bc she was an able bodied beautiful woman and probably also resents #how 'weak' she is when she's so similar to him. he's made something for himself in spite of his difficulties why does she fall so low etcet #i don't think it'd have been as easy if he didn't sympathize with her in a way at the beginning. it's like they say the best lies have a #grain of truth in them #and the greens had something or could achieve something he needed to reach whatever his goal is of that i'm sure

i understand laios and while i'm not in love with him i do think we should have sloppy autistic t4t furry sex about it

#sorry not sorry #nsf uu #laios #dungeon meshi #it'd be great i'd help him come out while we find a way to become werewolves together #we'll play wolves like nobody's ever played wolves before (nobody wanted to play with us at recess so we're Overcompensating now) #have you ever felt such kinship with a character that it makes you want to become his shepherd through life and in doing so learn #the wisdoms he has to impart and remind me of the child-like joy of living in a world full of so many interesting creatures #learning to appreciate the creatures we are. the creates we *become* even #HE MAKES ME ACTUALLY FOAM AT THE FUCKING MOUTH I NEED HIM #apparently the only time i like blondes is when they're furries and nd

Had another wild dream

There was a festival, the biggest one of the year. Where everyone comes together to celebrate. Everyone in this world has a hidden ability, like a talent but a bit more magical. This celebration shows off the most magical of them all, like the one who can take reindeer by just touching them, or the dude who can play any instrument without ever seeing said instrument before, etc etc. some are simple powers like reading fast, or able to draw anything, or even just a very good worker, but apparently I don’t have an ability and am seen as worthless. Anyway, There are many people who are invited to this festival, but in this world there are monsters, who trap and kill people in many different ways. This is important for later. Each person invited to the festival, if they are related to one of the performers, must help out in some way shape or form. Last year I tried and failed to help, by being the end flag for the army race, where the soldiers who are invited, race to see who is the fastest. I was told to hold the flag and change it when 10, 20, 30, minutes have passed, while also stopping the clock when the winner passes me. However they never told me that last part and I got in trouble. So this year they want me to just hold a plate of mashed potatoes and hand it out.

So while we are waiting for things to start we need to find our seats. Me and my siblings are sat somewhere up higher, however there are only three seats. So I’m told to just “sit near them” on the ground, but don’t literally sit on the ground cause it’ll make the place look bad. After I join the walk with my mashed potatoes, about half way through I’m out and tell the Sargent and he says “we’ll go get more from up front” which btw this walk is like walking around a mega church building. So yeah, I get pissed and walk back with everyone looking at me. I get back and decide fuck it I’m going to just sit and not do anything. So I climb in the seats where my siblings are, get yelled at by a dude who I have to pass by when getting to these seats cause “you should know better than to walk on my seat” bro it’s literally the only way to the other seats, if you know another path please show me. He just grumbles and says that I should know of another path. I ignore him and get to the seats and stand nearby cause my sibs are sitting there. The show starts then and that’s my siblings cue to leave their seats so they can be carried away to perform. So I’m left in the middle of the path that also acts as the stage and I just quickly get over to the side cause wtf else do I do. Only to get reprimanded by my aunt and mother that “I should be in my seat and not basically on the stage” I just glare at them and say “well maybe somebody should make sure there are ENOUGH seats for us then” only for them to say that there were and that I’m being unhelpful and just want to complain. I finally snap and just walk along the path/stage, backwards. I’m heading to my car and just running away cause I can’t deal with these shits.

Anyway, Remember the monsters? Once outside I see a few roaming around, they are different sizes and different creatures. I don’t care and just keep walking. Apparently last year I ran into one, it grabbed me and I thought that was it, but it just rubbed my head and cooed before putting me down, chasing another person, and then eating them. So I didn’t care cause I felt pretty safe around them, which is saying something when the step on a car and it explodes.

I’m making my way to my car when I hear that apparently my family is looking for me already. I’m like “shit” so start running across the town/city to get to my car. But once again the town is being swarmed by monsters. I get to an area where this grass tentacle monster thing is sitting, and there’s a group of others trying to figure out how to pass it with getting caught. I tell them just don’t get hit by the end of the grass thorn tentacle thing, cause that’s what’ll grab you, as I start causally climbing over the already grown tentacles. A few tentacles have fallen apart and I grab a few and say “check this out” before chucking them into a body of water. The tentacle then grow and form another monster, the exact same kind of monster that we just passed. I rub it’s little head and say it’s a good boy and needs to stay there until it’s big enough to leave the pond. The group is horrified that I just made more monsters and most run away from me in fear.

The more brave parts of the group quickly joins me and hopes I can get them to safety and I mention that the house next to the library has a spell on it that repels all monsters, and that I’ll be walking in that direction anyway so they can join me. Anyway we continue walking through the snow and crowds of people who are scurrying off to do whatever when another monster appears. This one is a classic giant who is seen chasing someone, he sees me and for a brief second considers going for me before returning to his original target. I don’t get to see if he successfully catches them or not.

Eventually we get to the house and I drop them off before going to the library cause it’s a bit closer to my destination. I get yoinked in by someone who is panicking cause there’s a monster running the library. I look over and it’s this little sand vampire lady monster. I recognize her cause a few years back she successfully trapped me in her sandpit. She started sucking out my youth before stopping and realizing that I wasn’t getting older, but she was still getting younger. She is confused and asks what’s going on and I just shrug and say that I have no idea but if she want she can keep trying until she feels she is at the youthful age she wants. She does and I still don’t age, I then tell her if she acts human and doesn’t attack anyone else, that I’ll help her maintain her youth…at least until I die. She agrees and starts to work in the library. She looks human but if you look closely you see her skin is actually sand. Anyway the person is freaking out and I just say hi to the librarian and ask how it’s going. She said fine and that she needs a little pick me up, so I allow her. Much to the horror of the other person.

We chat for a bit before another smaller monster runs in and grabs me and the shocked person shouting that another giant monster needs a sacrifice. He is this fur covered monster with horns and he rushes out, despite the librarian’s shouts. Then we see the a new monster, this giant tall skinny monster, their skin swirling with different darker colors (like dark blue, deep violet, black, and a hint of dark green too)

That’s when the monster carrying us puts us down and is about to shout at this bigger monster that he brought a sacrifice but freezes for two reasons, 1: monsters are not against attacking smaller monsters and mr fluff here was hoping to get on this big dudes good side but just witnessed the big guy rip another monster apart, and 2: he looks at me and says that I shouldn’t be there and that he messed up by bringing me. I’m still confused before it clicks in my brain. I’m not useless, I do have an ability and a very rare one at that. I have a monster ability, it’s why I don’t get attacked, it’s why I can walk by them, it’s why they hesitate and change their mind, it’s why their attacks don’t affect me and why I know so much about them despite not seeing some of these monsters. I stare at the monster who was holding me cause we both realized what I am, just then the giant dark creature is looking at us with bright violet eyes. I’m not scared and walk forward placing my hand in the middle of his face… I then wake up.

#dream I had #one time i dreamt #dreams #wild dream #I mean i felt so useless at the beginning and everyone told me so #but the second the monsters got involved it was like I was important #they respected me and didn’t treat me as nothing despite the fact that they literally did that to everyone else #and that everyone else did that to me #at first I thought that because everyone saw me as useless or not worthy that the monsters thought the same thing #but then I thought that maybe they were seen as terrible and when they see me they see a kinship of some kind #but then I realized it was just my ability to be able to hang out with monsters without them killing me #which is very nice #also most of the monsters were huge monsters and it was kinda awesome to see #there were a few I forgot to mention in the post #like the more fleshy monster that picked the lock with its gross hands when we got to another building #or the giant version of the furry monster who looked through the open door at us when I entered the library #overall pretty cool dream that I thought would be just a depressing dream where I’m ridiculed but my dream said SIKE you important #weird lesson in there: you aren’t useless even if everyone says you are cause they don’t know what you’re capable of
