#it's less important the results

[bookwyrminspiration]

if I asked very nicely would you all be willing to take a one minute anonymous survey for my linguistics class. if the answer is yes, please click here. thanks :)

(sharing for a better response size would also be very appreciated)

#linguistics #quil's unholy underworld #i have no clue how to tag this #it is quite literally 2 multiple choice questions #keeping it real simple #it's a required project in an intro class #we didn't even get to choose the topic #anyway #it's less important the results #it's intended to teach us the scientific method in practice #which I have done. like 5 times now in different classes it feels #i literally studied the demographic of the library by age an entire summer once #anyway. here's hoping this is worded and structured well enough to do what I need it to #take my survey boy #please

More MDZS and Hollow Knight! The cool bugs I found in my backyard have started to unionize.

Part 1 - Part 3

#poorly drawn mdzs #mdzs #hollow knight #Once again not tagging all the characters due to sheer volume #Thanks for the warm and lovely reception on the first part of this crossover! #even people who haven't heard of hollow knight were very sweet and excited. #I redrew and redesigned some of the characters that people were asking to see #and while I still think I could play around with them a little more I'm pretty happy with the results B*) #JGY getting kicked down the stairs is part of his personality at this point. Of course I had to introduce him as such #Im pretty sure its not JZX who kicks him the first time but birthday boy on birthday boy violence is too funny to pass up #Madam yu being mosskin-like but distinctly not from the same clan was pretty important to me when designing her. But I was at such a loss! #By *chance* I saw The Hunter's design and thought 'YEAH THATS THE ONE'. Let milfs be terrifying. #Little apple originally was gonna be 'the girl who's backyard this all takes place in' but ....little bug steed.... #In case you are wondering whether the Lan juniors are suspicious of the fact LSZ has twice as many legs: No. He's 'just like that' to them. #Part three will be in less than a week!

Reread Unseen Academicals recently and I've been thinking about that scene towards the end between Nutt and Ladyship and Vetinari. More after the break because there are spoilers.

So, Nutt's an orc. Everyone knows that orcs are savage beasts that tear people's heads off, and Margolotta is desperately trying to make sure he comes up "civilized". Thematically, there's links to the Uberwald League of Temperance, which was at least partially her project, since Margolotta's taking a non-human race famous among humans for being evil, dangerous, and generally bad news and trying to reform it. Her instruction for Nutt to "teach [the remaining wild orcs] civilized behavior" follows naturally from her attempts to do the same with vampires.

And then Nutt fires back with, "And who would you send to teach the humans?"

He earns a "brief outburst of laughter" from Vetinari, which is usually reserved for Vimes. There's no mention of Margolotta's direct reaction, but for the last few lines she's been described as "taken aback" and "[saying something] coldly", so she can't be too amused by this comment. But why is she so unimpressed with Nutt's asides about humans?

It's because, for all she tried, his situation isn't actually like the Black Ribboner vampires. In that case, Margolotta more or less succeeded in making her the vampires into reasonable facsimiles of humans, although with a few weird habits. In the quest for acceptance, Margolotta believed it necessary to emulate humans, to redirect entirely the thirst for blood and control into other passions. But Nutt? He's been raised to be a human orc, to be part of the civilized world, and how does he find true acceptance and happiness?

By accepting himself not as human, but as an orc.

Nutt's comment about "teach[ing] the humans" isn't just a funny aside about human nature. Deliberate or not, it's a slap in the face to everything Margolotta's worked for since at least The Fifth Elephant. For her, humanity is a goal to aspire to; for Nutt, who's lived among the people of Ankh-Morpork and seen their moods, their mobs, their stupidity and even their kindness, humanity is an amusement.

Thank you for taking the time to read my rambling thoughts, and good night.

#discworld #gnu terry pratchett #Mr Nutt #Lady Margolotta #Lord Vetinari #unseen academicals #what does it mean to be civilized #and also Glenda's there and not to minimize her importance to Nutt's development #but my focus is on Nutt's end result as interacting with Margolotta #and at this point Glenda is less active of a character because she's had her big moments

what about yellow teeth? my teeth always stayed yellow and that + my poor mental health made brushing just so nightmarish

#Yellow teeth can be genetic #Also! This is what i meant by i hate the hollywood smile #Hollywood smile being perfect white teeth #Teeth arent MEANT to look like that. Its uncanny (to me) #Yellow teeth are normal <3 #But but but it's important to do your best brushing! #Its not about whitening your teeth #its about the fact that fluoride helps enamel health and prevents cavities! #It may be difficult but its less difficult than avery expensive life with pain as a result! Remember! Its never too late! #Enamel cavities can even self-repair with enough time care and love! #Try disposable Toothbrushes you can keep by your bed #or toothpaste tablets!

how do you think in poems? i really enjoy the tags under your posts i've always wanted to write down my own thoughts that way bc in my head they feel so thorough and magical but whenever i put it in words i feel it just gets so much flatter and i no longer see a point and give up

oh oh oh, but lovely, can't you see that you've already started? it's a perspective that you hone, over time, something that is specific to you and you alone – that's the piece of it that makes it so special! you've already begun, and it only goes forward, up, sideways from here, wherever you wish to go!

think of it like a skill, for a moment, or a kind of muscle, if you'd prefer. you have to work at it, with it, over time and differing experiences, in order to progress.

(a quick important note: not progression as in the kind of quality-check of a grading scale, but progression as in evolution. shifting change. think of the leaves and their colors across the months of autumn, or temperatures rising with the sun and cooling with the evening dark. change isn't intrinsically a qualifying thing, it can just be, sometimes. this is difficult to remember, especially in the midst of frustration, but it is worth it. you are always doing better than you think you are – harshest critic, and all that.)

which is not to say that it's a simple thing to do! compare this to the vibe of me picking up crochet recently, with my shaking hands and too-quickly dwindling adhd focus – my first attempts at making a lil headphone sprout have not been going as well as i once hoped. my stitches are either too big and sloppy bc i'm not holding the yarn tightly enough to get clean ones, or i feel frustrated due to it not looking like how i'd like it to look in my mind when i started it, or even as i begin my umpteenth attempt.

but!! i know that it won't ever look the way i want it do if i set it down and never keep trying. it'll take awhile, like everything does, even the seasons take their time, the moon and its phases; but what i do know, is that, eventually, it'll resemble something i want it to. vaguely, maybe, but it is something. it doesn't have to look exactly like the guide i'm following, or the examples i'm inspired by, because it's mine – something made by my own hands, my own time and experience with every mistake and thrilling joy along the way to learn by.

take it from me: i want to be good at things i want to be good at so badly. and that excitement makes me want to be at the skill level i need to be at in order to do so right then and there, no learning curves or building blocks allowed. which is never how it happens, unfortunately, but –

i think, gently, that we tend to overlook what a pleasure it is to learn. to see the slow progression of things, to begin and change and continue and get better. and even if it's different as we go along, in a way it's our own little kind of magic, maybe, to create and never be done if we don't want to be.

which is all to say: it's already yours. why does it have to be anything else, anything more? why can't it just be good as it is now, where it might never be again? what is there to lose by enjoying the moment of where you are?

like everything, it will grow and shift and evolve with time, maybe into something you'd hoped for, or maybe into something you don't even have the words to describe right now at all. but that's the fun of it: how even now, even then, there, across time and distance and skill, there is a common thread of things; it will always come from your heart, your experience, where you are right then and there and now.

and if you think of that like magic, well, it becomes a little like magic, doesn't it?

also, something to consider: sometimes things you feel or think can't be put into words at that moment, or even at all! something else you could try (that i certainly do) is making something else with whatever it makes you feel - whether that's another form of art, or any other kind of media. if it makes you want to go outside and take a walk or get cozy and read or play a video game? that counts too! that's still an experience, you're still feeling.

i think that counts a little more than anything else, you know?

and as a little ending fun side-note, can i share something cool? i've never thought of it that way before, as thinking in poems. in my mind it's always been a kind of perspective of personal wonder, but you're right – it's poetry, in it's own way. you gave me that – so thank you, from the heart of me. i hope your journey finds you with every bright joy.

#rainsdowninkerala #q&a. #this is truly so much longer than i had originally thought it would be so i do hope it's less rambly and more help-y? #the art of creation goes hand in hand with the exploration and discovery of feeling and it is sooooo important n fascinating to me. #truly tho this can all be boiled down into a kind of: keep going? keep going. you can only get better. #i didn't want the post itself to get even longer & winded BUT if you want a lil fun vibe? watch meet the robinsons. it's a lil silly; but - #truly nothing changed my creative experiences more than hearing ' keep moving forward ' paired with joy at the result of failure. #how it is that you never learn if you don't fail; you have to keep trying; keep going at it; and if we only ever succeeded – #there would never be that? that checkpoint of progression? it changed that frustrating moment into a kind of art; for me. #how each time i fail and feel that sadness or anger it reframes it into oh. i'm learning. i'm doing something new and i'm learning. #isn't that amazing? spectacular? that i can do this? that it's me / you / us together? #i think ab that a lot in terms of inspiring my mindset. i hope it helps you too. wishing u all my best !!!! <3

so it seems older Raz has overcome his difficulties with his hydrokinesis. Neat! I imagine dogen did too with his blast-isis thingie (saw it from ur comics) : D

so does that mean. Raz can form or Manipulate shapes of water. Kinda like how Maligula can with water serpents. I imagine Raz has own favourite animal for that? And water his strongest power or still struggle with it? anyway amazing work as always.

yeah, he's pretty good with it!

detail crop + more rambling under the cut

it's his strongest power, but he doesn't specialise in it super heavily. so he's not as skilled in it as, say, Lili is with her herbaphony. he's definitely not as good as his great aunt, but Lucrecia was, like, incredibly talented. from the feats we see her accomplish (making hundred-foot waves and tornadoes of water, crossing oceans, drawing water from the moisture in the air), I'd say she's quite possibly one of, if not the, strongest psychic in the canon.

could Raz be as good as her one day? maybe! he has the potential, but it'd take a lifetime of practice. and i think generally he prefers spending his time working on all his powers, rather than strongly specialising in just one or two. he's not as good at HK as he could be if he really focused on it, but in exchange he's also pretty good with a lot of his other powers. jack of all trades, master of none, y'know?

#psychonauts #future superstar agents au #instead of snakes his thing is hands. i just think the hand of galochio is a really cool visual #generally my headcanon is that talent and innate potential /are/ factors #but overall they're usually less important than just practice and hard work #some things will come more naturally to some people but generally anyone can learn any power as long as they're willing to work at it #it's like any real life skill. talent exists and it can give you a big head start early on #but it's ultimately unimportant without dedication and persistence #but then also (to immediately undercut my own tag ramble) there are exceptions! #people like Compton and Dogen are unusual among psychics. their brains just produce way more psychic energy than normal and no-one knows wh #it's theorised that blastokinesis isn't even a particular ability it's just the result of channelling WAY too much destructive psychic ener #anyway. glowing eyes go brrrrr #polish #it's not super polished but it's nice and it has shading so it goes in my 'nice art' tag #fsau raz

Deep breath. Steeples fingers. It’s the way Arthur never needed to know Merlin was part of his destiny to be on his side over and OVER again

#merlin #they’re a true have your cake and eat it too ship #on the one side merlin who feels the full weight and pull of a destiny he can’t escape #that he chooses to run towards with open arms #on the other side Arthur #who has NO obligation to merlin except the one he feels and creates for himself #opens the forbidden ‘what if merlin….was good’ book #do you think about how often kilgarrah talks about them as EQUALS #two sides of the same coin. two souls meant to be one. #but merlin always ALWAYS ALWAYS casts himself as lesser #he sees their joint destiny as one where he is subservient to Arthur #less important #he is constantly willing to die for Arthur’s sake and he TRULY THINKS IT DOESN’T MATTER #merlin is constantly of the view that if he dies so Arthur can live that is *fulfilling their destiny* #what a cruel trick the end of their story is #but that’s my point kinda: merlin never actually understood their destiny #that’s why he fails the test and mordred survives #because he tells Arthur magic can never be allowed in Camelot bc he is too busy trying to save Arthur to save himself #and as a result he gets it wrong #if you look at the whole show but s5 especially as a tragedy the arc is absolutely classical #meanwhile Arthur never knows about FUCKING ANY OF THIS #and yet and yet and yet #call it destiny or love he still finds his partner in merlin. the other half of his soul. #he never needed to know what they were supposed to be to see what they could be

I've never received so much psychic damage from reading something in a fic as I have today reading a paragraph referring to f1t as p4c's "best friend and most trusted companion" with no mention to m1ke at all

#names all censored because I don't want this to appear in any search results I just want to complain without affecting anybody #lucasings #and I'm saying this as someone who looves f1tpac like I see them and I go meus pais meus pais !! #I just really don't like the q!m1ke erasure especially when it's to make f1t the most important person in p4c's life #I'm already disappointed every day by the little amount of p4c and m1ke content there is compared to h1deduo #and in general the amount of ppl who sometimes seem to forget m1ke exists at all when talking about p4c's character #which I kinda get bc he's hasn't been able to log on for a good while now #but like. the most important person in q!p4c's life IS q!m1ke and viceversa and there is absolutely nothing that will change that #they've been life partners for over 10 years. their existence in each other's lives is irreplaceable and non-negotiable. #just bc their relationship is not romantic in nature that doesn't make it less significant #and this will not change regardless if q!p4c starts dating someone or not #nobody come @ me ok I'm just an arospec little guy who believes in queerplatonic q!t4zercraft supremacy #I still want q!f1t and q!p4c to smooch and stuff and for the fandom to keep making content of them #I just don't want that relationship to take precedence/priority over q!t4zercraft's platonic relationship #bc you and I both know the reason any of this is happening at all is because there's such a tendency to ignore platonic relationships in #media and favor the romantic relationships as if they're inherently more important #anyway. rant over :3 #I'm going to see if I can turn on my pc without it exploding bc of the fucking heatwave. bye bye

List of fics I have planned and need to actually write bc I want to but have no motivation:

- The Yingxing lifespan fic, which is so heavily planned. I have multiple characterization guidelines for myself, multiple events I want to happen in the fic all planned out, the amount of tabs I have for it is a lil embarrassing since I need to just sit down and finally write it. Like the way this has been simmering in my brain... I just hope it'll actually be enjoyable for y'all when I start posting it

- Fic surrounding that oc planet idea I had with the stellaron that has caused a disease to spread that is similar to Hanahaki except guess what, it has more causes, more aggravators, and you don't solely just cough up petals, the petals come from how it makes planets grow all within you until it turns you into a planet from the inside out. So yeah hanahaki esc elements in its ties to emotions and love + slow and painful transflormation? (I have so many thoughts and ocs for this already I can't even. Like I need to find time to ramble about this)

- To go with the Yingxing lifespan fic, a shorter fic, probably a oneshot, covering his time right after the Borisin attacked to a little before Huaiyan finds him :) very.. very painful just as a warning

- A fic version taking all of the ideas I have from my "How I Would Write Jingliu's Companion Quest" draft (that I need to finally finish and pos) and actually y'know writing it all out

- Literally any kind of fic where I can just project all of my chronic pain struggles onto Blade because I still haven’t been able to meet with a rheumatologist yet

- I cope with all the angst I have taking up most of my brain, some kind of fluffy Blade fic

- It takes up a very small corner of my brain but I do want to write some kind if Guinaifen fic, perhaps surrounding her as a child or maybe another transition through life. Maybe if I feel like being upbeat with my plots, it'll end up being a Gui + Sushang fic. We'll see

I need to just like sit down and actually write these, because oh my god the way it's eating at my brain

#The yx fic has spawned multiple playlists to help set the mood for my writing #Also it might result in me getting fl studio just to write a specific little music box lullaby that is going to be very important to him #Like very much so #Most of the fics I have in my head are blade or yingxing centric #...God too many #Also like I have a few didn't put down here that I'm less confident in #But we'll see #This is mostly a post for me to keep track #Hsr #Honkai star rail #Hsr blade #Yingxing

today. i have experienced the HORRORS (opened laptop for morning meeting while seated between boss and coworker; was greeted with ao3 page i forgot to close last night)

#it’s fine it’s fine i THINK it’s fine. both of them were looking at their own computers and i closed that shit SO fast and i have no reason #to believe that either one of them is online enough to know anything about ao3 much less enough about what it looks like to recognize it #from peripheral vision/​during the quick glance they might have had the opportunity to get #fortunately my other coworker who i know IS quite online (the two of us literally had to team up to explain a meme to the other two people #that i was sitting between later during this VERY meeting. which i was so cool and normal during by the way) was sitting over on the #opposite side of the table. and i was cool about it externally. and they had no reaction of any kind. so #nevertheless. HORRORS. it wasn’t even like a story was open which would have been just a wall of text it was like. a search result. #displaying clearly and distinctly the site’s formatting #it doesn’t help that the rest of today has also been extremely stressful and the next few days will be much the same because there are #some Things i have to do that are fairly high-stakes and that i’m extremely stressed about. fun! fantastic! #i was literally only ON ao3 last night in the first place to try to pregame/destress ahead of having to come into work this week 😭 #and i already fucked up something important today that’s setting a bunch of things back for multiple people. and i feel like i’m going to #get my period in the next day or two which would make it a week early if it happens. super fun. amazing! #guess i’ll just keep riding the adrenaline-fueled train wreck that never stops all the way through friday! #caseyposting

terfs when a study shows literally anything positive about trans people/transitioning: 'hm i think this requires some fact-checking. Were those researchers REALLY unbiased? Because if they were biased this doesn't count and if they weren't knowingly biased they probably were unconsciously biased, woke media affects so much these days. Have there been any other studies on this? Because if there haven't been this could be an outlier and if there have been and they all agree that's a bit odd, why aren't there any outliers, and if there have been and any disagree we really won't know the truth until we very thoroughly analyze them all, will we? Were there enough subjects for a good sample size? Did every single subject involved stay involved through the whole study because if they didn't we should be sure nothing shady was going on resulting in people dropping out. Are we 110% sure all the subjects were fully honest and at no point were embarrassed or afraid to admit they didn't love transitioning to the people in charge of their transition? Are we 110% sure none of the subjects were manipulated into thinking they were happy with their transition? In fact we should double-check what they think with their parents, because if the subjects and their parents disagree it's probably because they've been manipulated but their cis parents have not and are very unbiased. How many autistic subjects were there because if there weren't enough then this doesn't really study the overlap between autistic and trans and if there were too many then we just don't know enough about what causes that overlap to be sure this study really explains being trans and isn't just about being autistic. How many AFAB subjects were there because if there weren't enough this is just another example of prioritizing AMAB people and ignoring the different struggles of girls and women and if there were too many how do we know sexism didn't affect the results. Was the study double-blinded? We all know double-blinded is the most reliable so if this one wasn't that's a point against it even if the thesis literally physically could not be double-blinded. Look i'm not being transphobic, i want what's best for trans people! Really! But as a person who is not trans and therefore objective in a way they cannot possibly be, i just think we should only take into account Good Science here. You want to be following science and not being manipulated or experimented upon by something unscientific, right?'

terfs when they see a study of 45 subjects so old it predates modern criteria for gender dysphoria and basically uses 'idk her parents think she's too butch', run by a guy who practiced conversion therapy, 'confirmed' by a guy who treated the significant portion of subjects who didn't follow up as all desisting, definitely in the category of 'physically cannot double-blind this', completely contradicted by multiple other studies done on actual transgender subjects, but can be kinda cited as evidence against transitioning if you ignore everything else about it: 'oOOH SEE THIS IS WHAT WE'RE TALKIN BOUT. SCIENCE. Just good ol' unbiased thorough analysis. I see absolutely no reason to dig any deeper on this and if you think it's wrong you're the one being unscientific. It's really a shame you've been so thoroughly brainwashed by the trans agenda and can't even accept science when you see it. Maybe now that someone has finally uncovered this long-lost study from 1985, we can make some actual progress on the whole trans problem.'

#science #transphobia #cass review #less 'cass review' generally more 'zucker specifically' because this same problem exists outside cass #have lost count of the number of times i've seen 'well THAT study may have said most trans kids persist but it MUST be wrong' #'there's another study says the exact opposite. that one's right. obviously.' #but cass is why i'm annoyed by it now #normally i don't have a problem with critical observations and questions. yeah check your science! that's good! #there have been some bullshit studies and some bullshit interpretations of good studies! scientific literacy is important! #and normally also am willing to pretend the people pulling reaction 1 on some studies and reaction 2 on others are. not the same group. #but now there's a ton of cass supporters tryna say 'oh the cass review didn't reject or downplay anything for being pro-trans!' #'some studies just weren't given much weight for being poor evidence! not our fault those were all studies with results trans people like!' #…….………….aight explain why zucker's findings are used for the 'percentage of trans kids who don't stay trans' stat instead of anyone else's. #would've been more scientifically accurate to say 'yeah we just don't know.' #'studies have been done but none of them fit our crack criteria sooooo *shrug*' #like COME ON at least PRETEND you're genuinely checking scientific correctness and not looking for excuses to weed out undesirable results #am also mad about zucker in particular because his is possibly the most famous bullshit study #quite bluntly if you're doing trans research and think 'yeah this one seems reasonable' you. are maybe not well-informed enough for the job #there's just no way you genuinely look at the research with an eye toward accurate science regardless of personal bias #and walk away thinking 'hm that zucker fellow seems reasonable. competent scientists will respect that citation.' #that's one or two steps above doing a review of vaccine science and seriously citing wakefield's mmr-causes-autism study #it doesn't matter what the rest of your review says people are gonna have OPINIONS on that bit #and outside anti-vaxxers most of those opinions will be 'are you actually the most qualified for this because ummmm.' #people who agree with everything else will still think someone more competent could've done a much better job #people who disagree with everything else will point to that as proof you don't know shit and why should we listen to you #anyway i'd love a hugeass trans science review with actual fucking standards hmu if you know of one cause this ain't it #……does tumblr still put a limit on how many tags you can include guess me and my tag essay are about to find out.

#keese draws #oxygen not included #olivia broussard #jackie stern #also to be clear everything I have for the rabbit and raccoon universes is completely pulled out of my ass lol #I just wanted to play around with the idea of every universe in oni having the same results despite wild differences #in canon they’re both probably near identical outside of what critters olivia works with #but I find it fun imagining those moments in the logs as the moments that come closest to converging #three olivias who are all wildly different but despite it all still end up in a lab feeding their favorite critters in near perfect sync #three separate jackies with varying amounts of respect for olivia each deciding to rid of olivia’s critters #three separate pairs each holding near identical conversations through text that even then could have varried wildly in tone if heard #two women who have a strained relationship two women who don’t realize how bad things are between them and two women who are on the offense #anyways rabbit universe is my favorite of the other two to think abt because god it’s so fun imagining jackie slowly realize that olivia #may have slowly but surely become like super dangerous to both herself and others and that it was initially to support her but now it’s #gotten Way out of hand and jackie doesn’t know how to try to bring it up because she has things that she deems more important to do #and anytime she does try to push her away from the work she’s been doing to focus on other things she at best does it in secret #the problem with people who consider themselves righteous is that they can become incredibly dangerous if they aren’t #now jackie sort of considers herself righteous but I don’t think that’s her primary motivation in scientific advancement #she is far more motivated by the thrill of progress and as such operates less on is what I’m doing right and more how do I most effectively #get this done and as such she’s incredibly strict and shitty to people and is more than willing to cut corners that she rly shouldn’t #the thrill of progress also appeals to olivia deeply but she generally sees herself as a moral person #which even in canon leads to olivia coming off as kind of hypocritical as anything that doesn’t make her actively uncomfortable doesn’t rly #seem to register to her as a problem #her morals are kind of dictated by her personal comforts and as such an olivia who is comfortable with doing questionable experiments is an #olivia who doesn’t see them as questionable at all #now I do imagine rabbit universe olivia is generally nicer to employees than jackie is #but mostly in the sense that she gives them proper breaks and lets them do fun activities and such #she is still mostly invested in optimization she just knows that rested employees are productive employees unlike jackie #like if someone has a breakdown over the work they’re forced to do she’ll send them home early but she will expect them to get back to it #so she’s not actually like. that good to the ppl working under her. she’s just not as bad as jackie
