I had a dream that there was a new Splatoon map. I don't remember the actual name of it because everyone just called it "the maze". Because it was just a maze! With tall, uninkable walls! And an asymmetric layout for some fucking reason, meaning that the paths to the ""center"" (abt the size of the middle circle at Wahoo World, so. very small) were different and you couldn't tell which side you got until you spawned in. Using weapons with zipcaster or inkjet became the instant meta because those were pretty much the only ways to get on top of or over the walls. There was one (1) dead end on the map where you could find a graffiti of a crudely drawn Sheldon pointing at you, with a speech bubble reading "LOST :)". It was awful and I think Nintendo should release it for real just for the chaos of it

Do you think white people cooking & eating food from other cultures counts as cultural appropriation or nah?

I think someone who thinks this much about this choosing to ask a white guy this question is very funny

#if youre curious about my answer i believe culture is meant to be shared #cooking and eating food is sharing of that culture #there might be like a weird edge case for someone with bad intentions that I cant think of rn but yeah

Several times recently I've found myself making tea whilst listening to The Magnus Archives, and as a result I've developed a silly little headcanon...

I'm not sure if it's a nationwide thing, but certainly throughout my life I've experienced the weird stigma of having sugar in your tea. It's not direct or aggressive, but there always seems to be this vague notion that sweetening your tea makes you less strong, less manly. I rarely see men ask for sugar, and often observe an obvious proudness in teenage boys when they say "no sugar, thanks."

Picture Jonathan Sims, newly appointed archivist, worried he's not good enough, placed haphazardly in power of people who were very recently peers, and desperately trying to prove he's the right man for the job. Everything seems to be falling apart a bit, and he's not at all sure his assistants have any faith in him; he had to ask for a tape recorder because he couldn't get his laptop to work properly - that's embarrassing.

Now imagine Martin: office sweetheart, gets along with pretty much anyone, just moved to a new position working with two close friends, and the attractive guy from research is his boss (he's a bit rude and stuck up, but it's probably just the stress, right?). He's pretty comfortable! Aside from the occasional snide remark from Jon it is a good job, which is especially pleasing considering how he got to work at the institute in the first place.

Two opposing forces, as we all well know! But what's better at building bridges than a nice cup of tea? Martin makes a lot of tea, but I like to think he memorises how everyone takes theirs. Regardless, he has to ask at least once.

And so, kind, sweet, gentle Martin, his offer of a cup of tea promptly accepted, would have the misfortune of saying, "do you take that with sugar?" to an embarrassed, flustered Jon, who's trying desperately not to confront any romantic feelings he might have hidden away. The ensuing scoff and slightly too enthusiastic 'No! Thank you.' would be enough to remember that preference for a while.

As times go on, hundreds of cups of tea later, things get less tense between the pair, and Martin never has to revisit the question; but late one night, shortly before Jon is to leave for Great Yarmouth and Martin is to risk it all to take down Elias, Jon places a hand gently on Martin's shoulder and asks "Could I have a cup of tea?". Of course Martin says yes, it's the least he could do, but as he turns to go and make it, Jon calls out again. "With sugar, please."

Just a tiny vulnerability, but enough. By that point most of Jon's facade has been torn roughly away many times, but letting go of small points of pride often means more than non-deliberate actions. Having enough bravery to admit to liking something soft and sweet is harder than you'd think.

Maybe during those six months after, Martin would watch the sugar dissolve into his own tea with a painful melancholy, the sweetness a bitter memory.

The hair work and detailing on your oc dolls is so lovely! How did you do it?

thank you!!

My approach is to first sculpt as much the hair as i can out of super sculpty III. A problem with sculpty is that it needs heat to cure, and the vinyl heads of most dolls will melt in the oven. so I deliberately make anything made out of sculpty, usually the bangs/front of the hair, detachable for curing (and cure them on a tin foil ball base the same size as a doll's head since sculpty often warps in the oven if left to its own devices). Because I have to cure them separately, this is actually why I can only do certain parts out of sculpey. I would make the whole head sculpey if i could! But i cant do anything that wraps around their head.

The remaining hair parts have to be sculpted with apoxy sculpt. what's nice about apoxy sculpt is its an air dry clay so i dont run into the same melting problem. but whats bad about it is the epoxy builds up in your skin over time and can lead to a severe allergy, so you have to wear gloves when working with it. I hate working with gloves and can never get as smooth of shapes with apoxy sculpt, so i only use it where i absolutely have to (hence why i dont make the whole thing out of apoxy sculpt). On the doll above the beige parts are sculpty, and the grey parts are the apoxy sculpt.

For dolls with bigger hair like Seam, I also used lightweight air dry clay! (literally the goofy crayola stuff) mostly because apoxy sculpt is HEAVY and if i need big shapes, i have to go lightweight.

this method works well for short haired, stylized dolls, but the longer the hair, the more of a hassle you encounter. even on Rhea i was starting to struggle. I would like to find a way to scale up this method for long hair soon though.

#in case youre curious i have tried boiling the clay too to avoid melting the head but other problems arise in that route #the separate assembly method proved to be the least problematic

hey still infected by the ravenshade brainworms. anyways i'm headcanoning that he doesn't believe in starclan, instead he believes in something like nature itself as the only spiritual force, and everything is based around balance. this is why he feels such a strong need to get revenge and "right the scales" because in his view it's morally right. it would also explain why flamefall was the one to remind cherrystar of feathersight's vision and not ravenshade himself, because he didn't believe it meant anything

and. in this headcanon if ravenshade ended up becoming leader he would have such a sick nine lives ceremony. because imagine he just dreams of nine ravens that give him his nine lives, each of them have uncanny similarities to cats he once knew, and it seems like they're trying to tell him something, but he can't understand. he won't understand, it's all in the paws of nature.

-🌾

oo, this is a neat headcanon! esp with the bit about him getting lives from ravens

i think in canon he does believe in starclan, he just doesn't care much about what they think. to him they're just Dead Cats (which is not untrue), so he definitely was just "righting the scales" in his mind

#fallenasks #grass anon #in case youre curious the reason flamefall was the one to remind cherrystar abt the prophecy in canon is because if Ravenshade had been the #one to remind her it would have been suspicious #hes a clever dude

So I was asked to expand on the whole Jamil having a trauma response to Leona comment on my last post, aaand here's that.

(This pertains to chapter 6 btw, so spoiler warning)

(also it's very much sleep deprived rambling so sorry if it's, well, rambly)

First off, I'm operating under the assumption that he has cPTSD. Jamil has clearly been programmed since birth to always obey the Asims and act in their best interests, even at the expense of his own life. This is a boy who has been forced to eat poison to protect them and their assets, who's family was forced to let that happen, and who has been so desperate his entire life to escape that situation that he was willing to resort to murder and doom not just himself but his whole family which he is implied to care about. Which means if simply quitting was an option, he would have done so. So, you kinda have to infer that he and his family don't have a choice in this role, and there are severe enough consequences for disobedience that fucking up or refusing is a worse option than risking a slow painful death every time Kalim wants to eat something. And this is all stuff that's been depicted blatantly in canon, not even touching on the assumptions that could be made from there.

So that's the position Jamil is in. That is a traumatic situation. This is a guy who has been groomed for servitude and obedience since he was old enough to talk. These kinds of circumstances absolutely can lead someone to be triggered into subservience or other trained behaviors. That's just, a thing with trauma.

Now, with the Asims being one of if not THE most powerful merchant families in their country, one of the expectations of Jamil as their servant and especially as the attendant to their heir is to ensure good relationships with other rich and powerful families, especially royalty. This was shown in the fireworks event, where he states that as a prince, if Malleus came to any harm under his watch while a guest of the Asims, it could start an international conflict. These are incredibly high stakes, a misstep on Jamil's part could ruin the Asim family and potentially even endanger his country, and it's pretty strongly implied that he and his family would take the blame and suffer the consequences. Now, much like how wearing a company logo while at work makes your actions representative of your employer, Jamil serving the Asims 24/7 (and especially as the chaperone of their heir) means that he is representing their family At All Times. This is why he is forced to defer to Kalim in all aspects of life even outside of their country, part of his job is to make his employers look good, and there are consequences for not doing so. This means that anyone of high enough status to be significant to the Asims is someone who Jamil is required to be subordinate to.

Then, enter Leona. As a wealthy prince, he would be someone who Jamil is expected maintain good relations with at any cost to himself. With his position Leona could literally destroy Jamil's (and probably his family's) entire life with a single complaint to the Asims about his conduct. Like, he could do that with no actual cause just for fun, because the Asims are 100% going to take the side of a prince over an expendable servant. This means that one misstep or any backtalk from Jamil puts him at massive risk, it is entirely up to Leona whether or not he suffers for any of these actions, and while the audience knows Leona's personal morals would prevent him from actually doing that, Jamil does not.

THEREFORE (sorry this ended up so long), once Jamil was in a life threatening situation with Leona, it seems likely that all this programming and fear would manifest in desperately trying to protect him and follow orders the way he's always done for Kalim. To me, the way he snapped into bodyguard mode, and immediately complied with every one of Leona's bitchy commands (like giving him a hair ornament to throw away without question, and barely saying anything about it after), even while being humiliated and knowing he was less trained in magic, just comes off more like a trigger response than anything. Especially because I can't imagine that situation not being triggering, and I can't imagine him knowing any other way to respond.

#jamil viper #leona kingscholar #jamil ptsd analysis #twst #this is also why I got so pissed about leona's behavior in that chapter #like I do genuinely like his character. he's one of my favorites and I get where he was coming from #but boy was being ignorant as all fuck #like jamil is so heavily implied to be an indentured servant #and leona could probably buy his whole family #there's no version of 'i know what it's like to feel overlooked. suck it up and work with what you've got' advice #that could benefit Jamil from this guy #because changing your attitude and putting in the work doesn't free you from a situation like that #and I can only assume that coming from a free country in the modern world #Leona just hasn't considered that Jamil would BE in a situation like that. it's not exactly normal #and this is the guy so out of touch he thought Ruggie's home was a doghouse. so I mean. giving him the benefit of the doubt on this #but goddamn was that out of touch. and I just hate how they wrote the conclusion between them #not the intended subject when i wrote this. but tagging it as #leojami #for the small steps crowd in case they get curious about what else i have to say on them?? #i feel like some of the thoughts from this post are gonna be playing into the story

Keroro Land Vol. 1 Scans

HERE I COME!!! im so glad i managed to get my hands on this bad boy since the earlier volumes seem harder to come by from my experience. this one actually turned out to be shorter than my last scan by about 20 pages, so it appears that these magazines tend to vary in length. nonetheless, they are LONG. enjoy!

#keroroposting #keroro gunso #sgt frog #in case youre curious: yes it came with the template for the kerobus on the cover. but i probably wont be putting it together #3 of the magazines came in suprisingly good condition for how old they are... paper crafts and toys still intact and untouched!

people who do STEM or administration as a career full time and continue to do art as a hobby, I am scared of you but like in a hot way. youre like if we were allowed to have cold drinks in winter. i look at you and think of miles morales with his two cakes. do you want to make out sometime

#i say all of this positively bc i just! i cant help admiring it!! even if its mundane or not a big deal to you i seriously cant wrap my head #around it.. this is in no way at all meant to be condescending or anything. whenever i look at someones bio and theyre like oh im working #as a lab assistant biologist pharmacist realtor etc im like woag.... thats insane.. and then i peep your art tag and it knocks my socks of #how?? what lives do you lead??? im so curious. i seriously want a peek inside your brains someday. or at least shadow you at work lol #i cant help but feel sad when someone says smth like well i have to support myself and art cant do that for me. or maybe you were #pushed into pursuing a 'safe' career bc i hear it a lot. all of my relatives have the same story working as nurses and OFWs for the family #i think for me its not about missed potential but rather its being sad about making a decision to put your happiness aside to get by #ive tried so hard to do it but it didnt work out. i guess watching you guys do it is fascinating to me #or maybe youve made peace with your decision or actually like what you pursued but im still amazed!! it makes me wonder what made #you pick one over the other in that case.. is it like putting time for two different things the way you would for a schedule?? hmmm #im doing graphic design so i dont really interact with ppl in other faculties even humanities like sociology or childcare... so i cant help #wondering what it must be like as someone whos pursuing visual communication both as an interest and career #i seriously wish i could do smth like a desk job or even admin and maybe ill try that if this doesnt work. or i could look into trades #but dyscalculia already makes it hard to do things like cash and mental math so i get overwhelmed if i think about this too hard #yapping
