#is not a concrete thing

[solarpunkani]

Hot 4am take but I feel like if we want to get people more interested in making their yards a more habitable space for wildlife like insects, we have to acknowledge that ‘Don’t want bugs in your house’ is still a 100% fair and valid point of view. ‘Loves nature’ and ‘doesn’t want roaches spiders and mosquitoes in the house’ aren’t opposites.

And with that in mind, when we propose to people that spraying pesticides around houses is Not A Good Idea, Actually, I feel like we need to give an alternative asides from ‘deal with it.’

#solarpunk #anti pesticides #ani rambles #this is coming from personal opinion at 4am keep that in mind but like #I’m scared of roaches. i’m fine with them outside though #my parents dont like roaches and for good reason. they spray Ortho Home Defense along the veeery edge of the concrete by the doors to #keep roaches and shit from coming in because yknow. Florida. #if I tell them ‘hey actually we shouldn’t spray pesticides inside (ie raid spray) or outside (ie home defense) #theyre gonna ask wtf to do instead to prevent roaches #and if I tell them ‘nothing suck it up buttercup’ they’re gonna laugh and then double down on the sprays #we gotta have an alternative ready and honestly maybe I’m not looking in the right places but I genuinely don’t know of any #like one online friend told me leaving brush piles around the yard decreased the amount of bugs trying to come in but like #thats one person. anecdotal. and I haven’t seen anything online confirming that as a thing (yet) #idk man I’m going to bed. #might delete later #house pest saga

gen fic appreciation post. i love you gen fic. i love you serious, plot-heavy gen fic. i love you funny, lighthearted gen fic. i love you angsty whump and h/c gen fic. i love you emotionally complex and intimate gen fic. i love you super long chaptered gen fic. i love you oneshot gen fic. i love you strictly canon adherent gen fic. i love you alternate universe gen fic. i love you crossover gen fic. i love you gen fic about queer identity and relationships. i love you found family gen fic. i love you gen fic.

(edited to add: by ‘gen fic’ this post is NOT referring to rating. it is referring to fic that is not about and does not prominently feature romance, regardless of rating.)

#gav gab #thinking abt the way people talk about gen fic today #and it's often so....... reductive even when they're trying to be complimentary #'gen fic often has so much more PLOT and REAL CONCRETE EVENTS' like sure i guess sometimes #but heavily emotional character relationship based gen fic also exists and deserves attention #it just feels like a reflection of the way people talk about aro people having 'so much more time to get things done' without romance yknow #anyways. gen fic is so many things and i love it.

And I stare at the soldiers before me — All my blossoms that have waited to fall

And I walk — And I walk — And I walk — And I walk

Knowing every last one of them is painted in light

As I make myself acquainted with the saint of never getting it right.

#sonic #shadow the hedgehog #purp doot #would it be corny if i wrote an entire thing about his childhood on ARK. like everyone's done that already right #<- this is a thought in its purest form i literally have nothing concrete thought out for that atm lmao #btw yeah i missed that meeting but it doesn't really matter they're not paying me anyway lol

as a guy who is soso normal about time loops, i have to wonder if the dream smp’s loop had constants. set points in time that would happen no matter what. and i don’t even mean the big events, like lmanberg’s destruction or the disc conflict. i mean the smaller, less narratively impactful things that just hammer home the humanity of it all.

foolish will always lose his mind over a chandelier. the bank will never be finished in time before the loop begins anew. love will always be found. an among us bunker will always be built. michael will always be adopted. the church of prime will always be founded. wilbur will always fuck a fish. love will always be found. niki will always open a bakery. michael will always host a radio show. you </3 little penis will always appear in the sky, in one way or another. love will always be found.

#icarus speaks #icarus hcs #u guys can tell i’m so normal about this right #also here’s some ACTUAL things i think are concrete in the loops: #the egg will always be discovered #and the eggpire will always rise (although never with quite the same cast nor the same degree and success) #karl will always become a time traveler #tubbo will always invent nuclear weapons and/or power #i also think hannah will always make a grace for boomer but that’s not as big in the scheme of things

Seeing audio drama creators be very on board with people making original characters for their thing is so very good and it makes me, a chronic oc maker, so very happy.

#audio drama #while i haven't made an audio drama oc in a long time for reasons that make me kinda mad/upset. i really wanna do it again #main one being a kingmaker oc pair that i've had on my brain for a bit. nothing concrete but like. it exists #/especially/ when they make guides on how to make ocs. that's so fun!! #bc like if a creator is mad or weird about someone making an oc for their thing. idk. that's??? so wild to me?? #if someone made an oc for a thing i made i'd be jumping for joy #(like my friends who've played my helimire dnd campaign(s)(2). those ocs my beloved <3)

i hate cinemasins so much you would not believe

#it's an easy formula. i get it. #ha ha plot hole! it must be bad because plot hole! #[plot hole is intentional and explained 10 minutes later] #[plot hole contributes to themes of film] #[plot hole is not actually plot hole if you employ even the most rudimentary of reading between the lines] #[plot hole is thing unimportant to the scene as a whole] #it lets you feel smart without actually having to put the legwork in #'smart' isn't even the right word. 'mildly observant'. #but because of this fucking loser and his stupid little ding sound effect #films have to be spelled out for people or they'll go 'OOOOGH PLOTHOEL????' #'WHY THEY SHOOT THE DOG AT START OF DAS DING? PLOTHOLE DING' #'WHY NO CONCRETE ANSWER FOR QUESTION PROPOSED BY TEXT? DINGGGG' #[THINK!!!!! THINK DAMN YOU!!!!!!! THINK FOR YOURSELF!!!!!!!!!!] #if your critique could be easily slotted into a cinemasins video go back and think about WHY #is it a question answered by the text??? #and im more frustrated it took THIS LONG to repair my brain scorching! #even with kokichi's critique video im not happy with it because i did go back and look at him closer #i still don't fucking like him or think he was very well executed but i understand exactly why he was executed the way he was #and so many fanfics who took my critique on board and are like 'i can fix this!' just cinemasins the shit out of him #he needs Standard Character Arc and he must be A Hero #NO!! #you missed even the point i was making back then!!! #it was that his redemption was completely arbitrary! and though it didn't do it well it was intended to poke fun at EXACTLY THAT! #the The Villain Needs Redemption because that shit was all the fucking rage and people were doing it shit! #and it all goes back to this jackass and his stupid monotone voice and his attempts to enable a generation of media illiteracy! #and it WORKED! our ability to analyse narrative got fucking sacrificed on the altar for His Paycheck #and he's a shitbag who makes fun of women with breast cancer #long post

this is a joke i’ve been afraid to make on tumblr for a while, but: by far the funniest genre of ST post is the type that shows a bunch of unrelated screenshots and then is captioned with “HOLY SHIT GUYS DO YOU SEE WHAT THIS MEANS???!?!?!!?” with no other further comment

every time i’m like: no. no i don’t see what this means. your screenshots include a blurry picture of mike and a photo of the demogorgon, what the fuck is the correlation and how do you expect us all to get it immediately 💀

#if it’s impossible to understand your theories without following your blog for several months your theory is not concrete enough #if you want to prove something to have to make a point instead of just showing me screenshots!!!! please!!!!! #anyways #stranger things
