poor fukuzawa is soooo out of his element with these two???

there's no way between mori, dazai, and ranpo he doesn't feel like a stone cold dumbass like 75% of the time even though he'd otherwise be the smartest person in the room.

#bsd meta #(for organizational purposes) #i love that fukuzawa reads so much! he values education! #he looks so shooketh here because hes like 'I DONT KNOW WHO THOSE PEOPLE ARE AND I AM OUT OF MY DEPTH ABORT ABORT' #his self concept is so shitty that he just jumps to anxiety! ugh! #being reminded that you're the dumb one both in your current relationship and your past one ✌ #fukuzawa...babe...they like you because you're kind AND hot AND smart! please love yourself! #vita.txt #fukuzawa #dazai #mori #fukumori #fukudazai #morizai #(again for organizational purposes)

Like a month and a half ago my spouse showed me one of the book goblin tiktoks about hoarding multiple editions of a book and I was like, hah, that's not me, I don't own multiple editions of books! Certainly not more than two of the same book!

And then I ordered a signed version of the Southern Reach Trilogy combined edition, but I was like, well, that's only two.

And then a tenth anniversary edition with new prefaces was announced. Literally a week and a half later.

I am being TAUNTED by the universe.

#to say NOTHING of the italian translation that I have saved for later on amazon (it's the only place I can get it in the US) #but that's for educational purposes! that's not the same. #HOWEVER. THE TENTH ANNIVERSARY EDITIONS #if they didn't have prefaces that I wanna read I'd be fine cuz I do prefer the original covers. #BUT I NEED TO READ THE PREFACES. #we also won't talk about the illustrated edition of entangled life that I have been drooling over at the bookstore. #I CANNOT BE DOING THIS

Gojo smiles that smile. The one that curls his lips ever so slightly at the corners, and barely wrinkles his brow as it drags itself upward. The one that taunts with endless questions with no clear answers… with his chin in his palm, his bangs dripping down the tilt of his face, and his dark glasses slipping, too.

“Am I not a nuisance?” he asks, he tests, he trials, waiting for you to stumble, to fall, to berate him for being the spiteful person that he knows very well everyone secretly loves.

Instead, you raise your own brows in question. Inhale, almost in a deep sigh. Then you tilt your chin in and laugh.

“Our lives nearly end every day and you think I find you a nuisance? The people I love have been murdered only for you to ask if you’re the nuisance?” You roll your eyes. “Don’t kid yourself, Satoru. You could never be the problem.”

wondering if childe being designed with red hair was researched and has a deeper meaning bc theres a bunch of stuff that makes a weird amount of sense. for him to have red hair specifically.

red hair is basically a mutation (mc1r gene) and it affects a bunch of different stuff, not just hair color, but also vitamin production and pain receptors

redheads in particular produce their own vitamin D so historically people with that hair color moved more towards colder climates bc they could retain heat better and thus could withstand the cold more. bc of their vitamin D production they also had stronger bones than people who didnt have red hair so its theorized that in colder climates redheads were having more children than non-redheads bc the latter just had brittler bones and had a rough time in the cold (the video i watched abt it also made a joke abt how redheads would thrive "underground" more than in the sun and well. funny that). also apparently some redheads need 20% more anesthesia than non-redheads bc they can have a higher pain tolerance

so its interesting that childe, known redhead, lives in a cold climate (snezhnaya) has a lot of siblings, and survived the abyss (makes his own vitamin D, has Stronger Bones, possibly high pain tolerance) its kind of hilarious? are u telling me him having red hair is deep. i love that

#childe tartaglia #gi #i watched cari can read's video abt it specifically and its a fun watch. i didnt know most of these things ! #near the end she also says that redheads have white hair instead of grey hair when they grow older which is #another funny thing in relation to childe bc he has a little white strand in his hair #the video in general is very educational i just have to make it abt childe. sorry. as if its my fault #k.txt #anyway Lots of funny coincidences. if they are that. i genuinely wouldnt put it past hyv to have designed him with red hair on purpose #also so nobody takes this the wrong way. redheads arent Superhuman or anything and in genshin particularly no one should generalize them #theyre not All Like Childe he also has redhaired siblings who are normal n probably have as much of a chance in the abyss than nonredheads #(which is next to none) #so worry not. he is still a little freak of nature

I used to not like poetry growing up because school forced us to ‘analyze’ the very long and nonsensical (to a kid) passages that felt like essays the writer wanted to compress within 4 lines in 30 chunks

Anyways I’m grateful for blogs like yours because I’ve actually found a new love in poetry especially when the pandemic started…it doesn’t have to rhyme, or follow a specific format to be accepted as poetry

Just seeing various styles by so many different authors (it could even be a simple 2 lines) definitely opened my eyes!

oh anon, this makes me SO happy beyond words you have no idea.........i hope you get to continue this journey of discovery and experience new poetry that speaks to YOU, fully, truly speaks to you and keeps you in the softest company💗

#wish sometimes loving literature didnt have to be about what could survive your education and i say this as someone who loved english #but even so there are still poems i cannot read because i studied them as exam material first. before their purpose as Poems. and that will #always hang over them. the first encounter is marked forever by that. #am so glad to have been able to play even a little part in changing that for you anon <33 #ask #anonymous #soft things

TW for racism and genocide of Native Americans

Today I learned that the original "The only good _, is a dead _," was "The only good Indian, is a dead Indian." And it really sucks that now I know this information.

Looks like it's speculated to be attributed to one specific Union general due to his actions, but it was more likely just a common anti-Native sentiment of the time held by a lot of the settlers, not just one person.

Like I know I hear 'the only good snake, is a dead snake' most often since I love being in snake discussion groups, which also sucks because I love snakes, and they shouldn't be killed.

But I've also heard like 'the only good Nazi, is a dead Nazi.' And like, I So agree with that, fuck Nazis, but I don't want to think about the original phrase being reclaimed like that for a laugh, no matter how much I agree that Nazis suck.

It should stay as horrifying and sickening as 'the only good Indian, is a dead Indian' in my opinion. I think we should retire the phrase entirely and just note that, that was the origin of it - the continued genocide of Native Americans during the 1800s when settlers were eager to get rid of us so they could claim property for themselves while forcing us into insufficient reservations as US America expanded westward.

This book I'm reading describes that the usual retaliation for the theft of a cow would have been the execution of an entire Indian village. One specific horrifying example given, is from accounts of a traveler that joined a group of Mexicans pursuing Indians (Chumash) in possession of stolen horses. They come across a group of some old Indians, women and children, drying the horse meat. Every last one was killed, and their ears cut off as proof for the priests that they made every effort to retrieve the horses.

This shit is so sickening. They were hungry and trying to survive.

It also describes how the accounts of Indians from my tribe before the mission system were all about how generous and welcoming they were. (Though, it was through the lens of the Spanish who saw us as ideal candidates for conversion because of this.) Then after the collapse of the missions and post-assimilation, the accounts simply describe the Indians' drunkenness and disorder. What did you expect???? You assimilate a group of people so they're entirely reliant on you (the rigid structure of the mission system and the dismantling of their previous tribal villages), and then suddenly turn them out to a world without their previous villages and social order. Of course they're going to struggle and suffer and abuse the drugs (alcohol) you introduced them to.

I hate this so much.

The book also mentions how, during the mission period, anyone who ran away from the missions to go back to their original tribal lives, would be dragged back to the missions and cruelly punished with restraints, lashing, or stocks, and they couldn't understand why because punishment was exceedingly rare before Spanish rule.

Ugh. Anyway.

I'm going to bring this up any time I hear anyone mention that phrase, because the horror of that time period should not be diminished in its modern reclamation. ('Diminished,' because I, a 30yo Native American, did not even know the origin. I thought it was a modern phrase. Our local Native history was always glossed over in school to focus on the mission system. I didn't even learn of my tribe's revolt until like 2016 when I went to a lecture my tribe held.)

I get that reclamation is supposed to be like a good thing, to take away the power of its original use, but I personally don't think that's appropriate for this phrase that was used as a rally for genocide.

Maybe I'm just being a sensitive baby, though, who knows! I'm crying while reading a history book about my tribe. This shit really hurts deep, though. It always has.

#native #native american #n8v #ndn #the only good indian is a dead indian #history #american indian #indigenous #chumash #california #idk what to tag this bro #racism #genocide #prob gonna get this post blacklisted for that word with the current world events ugh #ill just leave it at that for now im not done w the book yet so i might post more when i get to the actual purpose of the book #this is just like part of the intro to set the historical background the book is focused on our cave art and i havent gotten there yet #Cori.exe #Post.exe #maybe this was something obvious to other people but i literally had no idea i dont watch westerns or anything... #...like that where i couldve heard the original phrase before today #this is the shit those 'parents rights' nuts dont want youth educated about #but we need to learn this even when its extremely uncomfortable because this is how life was for people in the 1800s #anyway ill leave it at that i wanna get through this book its already been renewed once and i still have a lot more to read

different from my usual content because im mad as fuck and need to rant:

.

I hate how transphobes' reasons for not believing in all medical doctors are right because trans people are acknowledged???? by medicine???? and allowed???? to exist????? and then go and misgender and insult trans people directly. it boils my fucking blood

they're so fucking ignorant and proud of it. read a fucking scientific article for once. oh how I hate that people get away with ignorant stupidity and remain in the majority enough to genuinely attack and strip the rights of people who are biologically, psychologically, and medically proven to exist. shut the fuck up and go drown in a hole, you stupid stacks of shit.

WE LITERALLY LIVE IN THE AGE OF KNOWLEDGE. you have the entire internet at your fucking disposal, but you CHOOSE to get ALL of your information from either a fucking organized religion or some fucking news article with no credible sources. there are public databases. there are people working hard every day to reduce the blocks and pay walls that research sits behind. use the fucking tools that you are blessed to be given, the benefits of the age you live in, and EDUCATE YOURSELF.

real people are hurt by this ignorance and it makes me so so so so mad.

tldr: trans woman releases a girly pop song and is met with, once again, hate and misgendering online. i am filled with rage at the blatant ignorance of transphobes.

So. Yanfei’s antlers and shedding season. You’ve might have had it as a passing thought, you might not have.

It probably is a massive shock to see her without her iconic antlers to the Liyue locals not used to it, but then she could really just pay a craftsman to make a headband with her old shed antlers and just wear and hide it under her hat or something.

But that’s not the point I’m making.

See, have you seen a deer with velvet covering its antlers?

Well, now you have.

Thing is, at some point, the deer need to shed all that fuzzy stuff to expose their antlers in all of their, well, horny glory I guess. While the process isn’t painful to them, it gets kinda bloody. The velvet is the one that supplies the nutrients to help them antlers grow, so expect a lotta blood vessels in there.

So yeah. Imagine being a client walking in her office to see that.

Or maybe you’re Yelan dropping by in the dead of night to check on her, and you almost have a heart attack at the sight of Yanfei looking like she gored someone to death with her antlers and won.

For anyone who wants to see what a deer shedding velvet looks like (TW: for Gore and Blood):

#genshin impact #yanfei #channeling my inner child who watches too much animal planet and national geographic #i've been wanting to make this silly joke post #how does yanfei attack someone with her antlers tho #like ganyu i can understand some good 'ol headbutting because of her horns #but the position of yanfei's antlers... not so much #now i am no expert i just started reading the process of how deer shed velvet if i have any mistakes feel free to tell me #but i really wrote this post for fun and not educational purposes lol #should i add the trigger warning in the tags too? #im adding this too #teyvatisms

Small Potatoes reaction: miscellaneous edition

Interesting: Scully being skeptical of the paranormal means that she is unwisely trusting fake-Mulder, contrary to how she typically behaves towards others, whereas Mulder believing in the paranormal means he wouldn't trust him, again contrary to his nature.

Blundt said to Mulder “I was born a loser, but you're one by choice”. I mean, accurate, but that's why we love Mulder, right? He embraces his loser-ness, as I aspire to!

If you can't tell by the seven thousand posts, I absolutely LOVED this episode!!! It's definitely one of my favourites so far, if not my actual favourite. I haven't been able to stop thinking about it (or rewatching certain parts of it!).

Also, I would like to thank https://archiveofourown.org/works/40546182/chapters/101582535 for helping me by making me freak out EVEN MORE, if that were possible...
