Hear me out. Ratiorine AU where Aventurine is a mer captured by a group of researchers and Ratio is the scientist brought on board to teach him how to speak and access his intelligence levels.

#aventurine #hsr aventurine #dr ratio #hsr dr ratio #hsr #honkai star rail #star rail #ratiorine #raturine #aventio #mermaid au #mer!aventurine #see ok listen #aventurine is a very smart fish and while he cant speak Human #he can communicate by impressing the idea of something on someone #which is why his speech bubbles are all abstract things bc he communicates by sending the idea of what he wants to say to ppls brains #and hes clever hes our cunning merchant gambler #so while he was initially captured by some researchers to be studied #hes able to charm them up and get them on his side... thus allowing him to have more luxury than the average experiemental subject #ofc none of this reallt matters when the researchers wont let him go free but its the smalle victories... #eventually hell work his way up to freedom #ratio is the poor sap who was dragged into the study half way to teach aventuring how to Be Human basically #he accepts the proposition bc everyone deserves to have knowledge! even fish! #my art #comics #scribbles

Yet again I'm thinking about the eradication of culture within the THG universe,, I have very complex opinions on culture wars within Panem and if they would exist at all in certain cases but like. Do you think they still speak Spanish in Ten? Do you think trans people can still change their names and wear what they please as long as they meet their daily quotas? Do families with religious ancestors remember to observe their holy days, even if it's in private, or was the eradication of religion in Panem so concrete that they don't remember anything at all? Much to think about

#even though THG isn't centred around its world as much as its politics (and for good reason!) i still find it fascinating to think abt #i have a LOT of thoughts about being trans in panem. specifically being trans as a victor #we know (or its implied mostly by ballad) that being queer isn't criminalised and katniss tells us people can marry who they like #but i can definitely see transness being an issue specifically for district people in the eyes of the capitol #obviously the class divide the districts represent would eradicate any possible trans healthcare #but i can see being trans as something the capitol would celebrate as unique and. almost fashionable? #so district people who have no trans medicare or even knowledge would be naturally skeptical of this 'capitol' thing #<- basically by making it a capitol thing it ellimates the rebellion present in the concept of being trans and keeps poorer ppl in line #just. something something removing everything a community could coalesce around by normalising some things and eradicating others #thg #the hunger games #thg series

Though I'm unsure this will reach the right people, I need to speak my mind about the reaction to the Shubble situation.

I am overwhelmed with reassurance by how this community is supporting Shubble.

A part of me heals every time I see everyone continue to recognize that Shubble is the most important person in the room.

I am proud that we are supporting the victim.

But I do have to stress that we haven't stopped the support of the Abuser, Wilbur Soot.

While it's amazing to see the community come together for Shubble, and that we have already hurt Wilbur's reputation.

I am still afraid it's not enough.

Wilbur still has a fanbase, he still has reach. But most importantly: He has INFLUANCE.

Though I am already seeing the effects of this community's endless support of Shelby already reaching his fanbase, I can't ignore the people who haven't left.

I know that I can't speak for everyone, but it's hard to immediately cut ties with someone like Wilbur. He was someone that I used to look up to and admire. It was painful to let go of the comfort I found in him. But I still found a way to leave him.

Right now people are slowly learning more about the situation through videos on YouTube and posts here on Tumblr, but there are still people who are blindly supporting Wilbur.

As someone who doesn't use Twitter, which is where everything is taking place, I had to learn about the situation from Tumblr users fighting over Wilbur's innocence.

Which was two days before his apology was screenshotted and reposted on Tumblr.

Before Wilbur's shitty apology, there were only two videos on YouTube discussing Shelby's VOD and Wilbur's allegations, now confirmed, of his involvement as the Abuser.

With the only informative video being a quick summary of Shelby's VOD and all the main arguments for Wilbur being the abuser. Which, as I'm now making this post, the YouTubers who made those videos have yet to update the current situation.

Though there are more "informative" videos on YouTube now, they still lack both reach and current facts. With only one in particular having both requirements, xetn4's video which I'll link here: Why do my heroes become horrible people. (youtube.com).

But while xent4 has made a solid video that has checked these boxes without being clickbait, that video still only has 10k views (as of now).

Sure that's nothing to sneeze at, but that 10k compared to Wilbur's 6 million subscribers (as of now) pales in comparison.

And that's not even mentioning how his video is the only one that doesn't feel like people trying to hop onto the "Fuck Wilbur Soot" train before it leaves, using it as clickbait for views.

But even with how ungenuine those videos are they still only have a thousand views at best.

And while posts here on Tumblr have been reaching nearly a thousand notes overnight, they still don't have the proper reach.

Again, I cannot stress enough how little reach this situation has outside of Twitter.

Because while the support for Shelby has affected Wilbur's fanbase, I'm still afraid it isn't enough.

And with every day that passes my fear that this situation will be swept under the rug and forgotten only increases because I'm already watching the numbers fade with every day.

Because as long as the situation stays on Twitter, as long as people read Wilbur's apology without knowing it's about Shelby, the less people are going to know the very real threat Wilbur poses as an abuser with a fanbase.

And yes, to clarify the apology, people are going to shrug it off without knowing the heaviness of his words. Wilbur wasn't afraid to say Shelby's name, he was ensuring a safety net, a loophole.

Because if you read his apology without any of the facts, then it ensures that you stay ignorant and continue to support him under the guise of him "getting better".

And I'm not assuming here, because I've already seen it happen with my friends. Just showing them Wilbur's isolated apology multiple of my friends have asked me why it matters so much "he's already apologized and is getting better, so what's the problem?".

The problem is that Wilbur is dangerous.

And as long as someone can read Wilbur's apology without Shelby's name or the facts, then they will continue to think that everything's taken care of and that nothing has changed.

I can already picture that without Tumblr I would also be one of those people and would still be blissfully ignorant as I happily listen to Lovejoy thinking about Wilbur's next upload.

This is the very thing that is happening as long as we allow this situation to stay contained on Twitter. Because if we don't spread the facts and get the proper reach, we are allowing Wilbur to keep his peace.

His peace which was the exact thing that kept Shelby silent in the first place, hell it might even be the reason why the VOD was taken down to begin with!

Wilbur is dangerous and shouldn't be allowed peace.

Wilbur doesn't deserve a fanbase and we need this situation to reach the proper audience, his audience before it's too late.

Always Believe the victims.

Don't support the abusers.

Support Shubble.

Stop Wilbur Soot.

#shubble support #shelby grace #shubble #wilbur soot #wilbur soot situation #wilbur situation #shubble situation #Sorry about the rant #I didn't want to make this about Wilbur but it's scary how little has changed in regards to his fanbase #its been bothering me to see almost nothing change when I check on Wilbur's Subscribers on youtube #I'm more checking if its changed now a days #And its worst when i know just how little this situation is talked about irl #Sure its fresh but that shouldn't cause this little coverage and overall basic knowledge of the situation #i hope this reaches the right people but with how little reach these posts have compared to screenshots i honestly dont know #Take care of yourselves #and dont forget to drink water

said this on tiwtter too but im seriously at my limit, people go and be all like "oh my god young people have no idea of basic internet security omggggg" and the same person will immediately make an account on t/hreads that is stealing so much data from you its basically one step away from straight up kidnapping

i get we are all desperate, i really do, but i WILL judge you if you go and sign up for the literally shittiest app on earth thats really just a flimsy disguise of a bunch of data suckers in a trench coat

use tumblr, cohost, pillowfort, (the latter two also allow nsfw) ANYTHING but that suckerberg leech i am BEGGING you

idk how accurate it is but i saw the numbers of 75 MILLION sign ups for the threads bs, what the hell are you doing, i feel like im in one of those old anti technology comics were young people just walk off a cliff en masse bc they only look at their phone and nothing else while im the old guy in a chair watching them do it

#ganondoodles talks #are people seriously this blindly signing up for anything new a big -KNOWN SHITTY AF- corporation is putting out #isnt it literally just like insta but worse #like #if you dont like tumblrs layout or whatever theres also cohost #its basically like twitter but also has features of timblr #like having multiple blogs to on account #idk man i actually feel like im going crazy #what is this #this has made me feel more old than the knowledge that lil kids are doing a flat hand gesture for phones bc all they know are smart phones #if people are ACTUALLY making that thing be the next giant “”social media“” i will not forgive them #you will not peer pressure me there #-when i say at my limit im at my limit of desperate confusion watching people do the dumbest shit but going uwu the entire time doing it-

*wakes up in a cold sweat* what if the Arrow of Dodona was just an hallucination and Apollo has been basically talking to his subconscious for the whole duration of TOA

#jk jk... unless? #it would make a nightmarish AU tho #or a heartwarming one #if you chose to consider its death as apollo accepting himself and parting ways with his former ideals and faults or whatever #you wouldn't even have to change much about the arrow's characterization #between the bad shakesperean the random tid bits of knowledge and its personality #it's basically apollo pre-toa #btw i got to admit this puts the 'the arrow looks up stuff on wikipedia' into a whole new perspective #trials of apollo #toa #lonely thoughts

talking about trb with people who haven’t read it/have started/are planning to is like having a shared friend that you’ve known for a bit longer. and for some reason trb has vulnerability issues and refuses to tell the other one things so you can’t talk about the things you wanna with your friend!!!

#like i can’t tell you anything #you have to get to know them #but oh ill tell you this cause its basic knowledge #oh he didn’t tell you that yet? #FUCK #trb #the raven boys #trc #ronan lynch #adam parrish #the raven cycle #noah czerny #gansey #blue sargent #does this make any sense #be honest

maybe we'll try again next time.

#pikart #projmoon #(LONG TAGS..) i talk a lot about that latter part of poems of a machine but the first chorus never fails to break my heart too #i can never remember what ive talked about and what i havent so ill do it again anyway. #specifically the line 'so here i lie; reading you my poetic stupid rhymes.' especially in conjunction with the very first lyric. #all this built up... mess and madness; concepts of impossible scope and importance for just a few words. #its the desire to express a truth outside of your reach. to tentatively try to identify; to speak; and only managing so much. #clumsy; basic; small; but it still holds a piece of your heart anyway. its not enough; but its real; its tangible; and thus important. #am i making sense? its the first steps into writing poetry / into self expression / into self acceptance / into healing and growing. #and the implication these words are being shared; despite all of this; despite all of Her. augh. #i really do think a lot about th stark difference btwn her Knowledge and her Experience. how she feels she Should function vs how she Does. #knowing how something should be vs how it Is. yknow. #anyway Oops !

the thing about that brennan lee mulligan bird quiz clip is i actually can’t respect a man who claims to be really into bird facts but can’t recognize a roseate spoonbill

#it's bright pink and it has a spoonbill i just honestly don't know where else you're going with that one #like it's a funny bit but he really brought that upon himself. #the other ones fine. there are too many kinds of grouse #but a *roseate spoonbill*. it's PINK and its BILL is a SPOON you could just GUESS #this is basic standard life knowledge about birds #in my opinion. #box opener

On Ybris Island in the Sea of Clouds, a young miqo'te girl stumbled into some strange ruins, within which she discovered a strange young woman...

Awakening after a long, long sleep, it was almost upon sight of the miqo'te that Aria flew into a berserker-like violence. The ensuing, frenzied battle set off a chain of explosions, causing part of the ancient facility to collapse - and sending both women plummeting from the skies to the world below.

Later she would realize what it was that had made her lash out: fear. That girl was like an abyss that would swallow her whole, she was sure of it.

She would devour her first.

#mine #aria bateleur #i'm still fumbling around a bit how much aria Knows because she doesn't know like #about the sundering precisely - but she does have some knowledge of slightly more complex soul stuff #(she was basically an assistant-of-sorts to amon) #and she has a keen awareness that her and mana are intricately connected and mana is the bigger fish here #nudity #ps its so funny to imagine sunshine mana as 'an abyss' #but yeah

Seeing Nadja absolutely and utterly fail at seducing people in the s5 trailer makes me want to write a fic where instead of randomly arriving at Laszlo's window and turning him, she's actually been trying to seduce him for weeks but keeps fucking up and wiping his memory so she can try again 50 First Dates style*

#*disclaimer i havent actually seen 50 First Dates. I'm just going off my basic pop culture knowledge so idk if its an apt reference #there was no laszlo/nadja in the trailer but I'm making it about them bc I will make Anything about them #sadly not a skill i can put on my resume #i havent written anything in a while so this will probably just live in my brain #wwdits s5 spoilers #nadja of antipaxos #obviously some of the being bad at seduction is just a time difference thing but i also choose to believe she is just Like That #of course she is cool and hot but also she is such a loser and that is so important #she found the one freak in 17th century england who saw that and was like 😍

CANNOT fucking believe I have to see this anti-election propaganda garbage on my dash again. I shouldn't be surprised but here we are again

I'm sorry people are too childish to understand that there's not a feasible third option. I'm sorry both the candidates are genocide supporting crusty old white men. I'm sorry our country sucks so fucking bad we have to pick which one is gonna kill less fucking people.

But like. You need to understand saying "just vote in the general elections" doesn't fucking help in a presidential year. Telling people not to vote, or to vote for a candidate other than the nominated ones you're just shooting yourself in the fucking foot.

#i hate biden and i dont want to vote for him!!! HOWEVER #if trump is elected its basically game over. forget ever having an election again i am not kidding. #this is public knowledge after that project 2025 shit got leaked #i dont want even more genocides to happen when were trying to stop one! i dont want a fucking world war starting bc we got a fuckin dictator #genuinely how hard is this to understand #i can survive biden. i do not have any faith i can survive another trump “presidency” #us politics

something I love about rain world lore is that it gestures towards the sky being solid like two times and doesn't elaborate at all

#rain world #rainworld #rain world lore #'yeah the sky would collide with the ground if the void sea wasn't balancing it out let's not unpack that at all' #like what little we know about the cosmology of rain world is barely elaborated on but vaguely gestured at #or just visually shown #like the stars being green (physically impossible for our world) and the moon being completely static in the sky #it's great #basically all we know is that it's fucking weird #and that's perfect #what should a rat know of the moon? the stars? #they're juuuust different enough to show that our world's knowledge doesn't carry over in regards to it #there isn't an answer to whether rain world is round or flat #that info just straight up does not exist and gets a Videocult Shrug #love this fucked up alien world and its fucked up everything

every time i see someone spell martyn’s name wrong i get worse
