#I live in a country that has continuously turned down protest requests and discourages people from displaying any political symbols. #Any form of activism is tightly restricted or kept subtle #hence this “educational animal poster” was made. #This artwork may be subtle in speech but my stance and views are not. Genocide is genocide. #free palestine #palestine #free gaza #ceasfire now #art for palestine #gaza genocide #gaza #apartheid #palestine mountain gazelle #Gazella gazella #mountain gazelle #animal art #zoology #taxonomy #wildlife art

guy whos sooooo normal abt the Mountains of Chaos fantasyhigh. Like, the fact that Brennan establishes it as this classic adventure location full of monsters and dungeons for learning adventurers to explore and gain xp, and it’s also the site of kalvaxus’ lair and the temple of the earth defiant its a very fantastical place. BUT, it’s also the place where riz’s grandparents immigrated from, and it’s the place where the cultures worshipping gods like ruvina and ankarna originated from, and the fact that solace literally has a border patrol for the mountains of chaos that the Applebees are literally apart of. It’s something about these fantastical elements that are so often focused on by the people in solace, so completely glossing over the people and cultures that live there and originate from there. I’m so regular about it and I think about it a normal amount

#Soooo obsessed with the politics of fantasy high #Like the fact that they have dignitaries from fallinel and people like the dawns from high court in solace #And provide people like bill seacaster with solace from the law #And yet they have an active border patrol on the mountains of chaos #The fact that it’s not even like it’s own nation and the members of solace probably don’t recognize the people that live there of having #An organized government #Sorry it’s so fascinating to me I would read literal fake academic essays about it #dimension 20 #fantasy high #fantasy high junior year

One thing I really want to see happen in Season 4...

Valdo Marx: Nice to see you again, Joseph!

Jaskier: *Heavy sigh* That's -

Yarpen: *Stepping in front of him protectively.* Julian Alfred Pankratz to you, you dying sounding beached whale! Only his friends call him Joseph!

Jaskier: Ah, actually, that's Jaskier.

Yarpen: *Dismissively.* Yeah, I KNOW.

Jaskier: *Getting all teary eyed.* I know you do.

#The Witcher #Jaskier #Yarpen Zigrin #Their friendship is legendary #Valdo Marx #Their rivalry is a legendary #Does Valdo know Jaskier is a honorary member of a fierce dwarven mercenary company yet? #No but seriously I kind of headcanon that the reason Yarpen is so pissed at continuously being reminded that Jaskier's named #Julian Alfred Pankratz #Is because he noticed that Geralt and even Yennefer were calling him “Jaskier” #While Jaskier introduced himself to Yarpen using his whole freaking name! #Jaskier just wanted to be respectful and polite #Yarpen took it as a desire to put some emotional distance between them and imply he hadn't earned the right to call him by his #Chosen / preferred named #And then despite all they went through together on that mountain and claiming to be a friend #Jaskier still continues to insist on introducing himself using his full bloody name! #Like what does a dwarf have to do to get some familiarity and recognition of kinship from that bloody bard? #But then Jaskier puts his life on the line to help Yarpen's men... #And Yarpen realizes that Jaskier cares enough to take an arrow to the back (or to the lute at least) to keep them safe.. #He's not a warrior that revels in the rush of battle! #He's just a scared bard rushing headfirst into the fray just because he wants to help any injured dwarves #Even if that means potentially sacrificing himself... #So maybe human customs are weird... #Maybe Jaskier has been waiting for *HIM* to start calling him “Jaskier” and officially signal the start of a friendship... #Maybe that formal introduction wasn't a slight on Jaskier's part and that overgrown puppy of a bard has been waiting for Yarpen to finally #adopt him like an idiot! #And so Yarpen chooses to skip the formalities and go straight for “thank you JASKIER” to make it clear that he does consider him a friend.. #My Posts #My thoughts #In tags form

Trans Mountain says it is in the process of wrapping up work to install its pipeline through a sacred Secwépemc site, bringing its expansion project one step closer to completion. The pipe installation, which involved digging a 1.3-kilometre trench through an area with a known burial site, was allowed to proceed after years of back and forth between the company, the Stk’emlúpsemc te Secwépemc Nation and federal regulators. The Canadian government bought the pipeline nearly six years ago and vowed to move ahead with its expansion, saying it was in the public interest. It is managed through a Crown corporation. “It’s devastating to many people that this happened,” said Mike McKenzie, a Secwépemc knowledge keeper. “Canada had a serious obligation to the Stk’emlúpsemc te Secwépemc and all Canadians to uphold Secwépemc law in a good way, to embody reconciliation in their work.”

when i get bored i like to slightly edit various parts of a us map until it looks Similar but Slightly Wrong

#text #its fun 4 me #this time im getting rid of the fucked up shapes and trying to redo the fucked up borders by rivers/mountains/lakes/other #more natural geographic features #but i couldnt find a good map that included the big rivers so i have 2 keep switching screens which is annoying but whatever #also i have very little regard for how this would impact america politically or economically #i only care abt giving more states more river borders #im having fun :3

So a group of people wants to divide the world by way of conspiracy theories so that they can be in power? Smells an awful lot like Protocols bullshit...

Ehhh not really. The Protocols proposes a secret ancient conspiracy. These people are not some secret ancient conspiracy, and are loud and proud in declaring their goals, and very open in decreeing certain groups of people part of this alleged secret ancient conspiracy so they can eliminate them and gain political dominance.

i love how hgsn has just become Yoshiki’s independent research project with the occasional ghost roadblock

#Our next enemy will be Yoshiki’s pencil breaking while he’s in the middle of a sentence! #hikaru ga shinda natsu #the summer hikaru died #hgsn #my hgsn shit #I’ll need about 5 maps of varying styles (political; topographical; geologic; physical; and maybe a resource map) #And 7 more flow charts and a comprehensive time line before I truly understand what’s going on #How many mountains are there again

Alright listen

I’m not a particularly huge fan of “secret twin/sibling AU” cuz if not done right, it quickly becomes “and we only care cuz of blood relation”

The antithesis of Bruce Wayne

(And like you can’t say adopted families don’t count to the goddamn bat fam, it’s illegal and you go to double Arkham)

But

I have also noticed it’s kinda always Danny is the adopted secret twin

And… well

Large bulky men who break down walls

Who come back to life but kinda fucked up

BRUCE WAYNE NÉ FENTON, OLDER BROTHER OF JACK FENTON WHOSE PARENTS DIED BEFORE TELLING HIM THE TRUTH

I will also accept Bruce having known but not knowing how to introduce himself to his brother and just secretly helping fund their building a portal to hell

Cuz that’s like talking to people when you’re Batman, totally counts, Alfred definitely thinks they’ve exchanged Christmas cards

Jason is the other obvious option, maybe from when the Fentons were in college cuz gods know that man’s family tree is already a xylophone

Tim, also a great candidate, he was pretty much an afterthought for the Drakes and neglected so having picked him from a line up tracks

Just

More than half of the bat fam is already adopted

And they’re the cool side to have been adopted from

There’s some consolation for Danny from the Fentons not being his bioparents that kinda invalidates that it is Still Fucked Up That They Mistreat Him

Him not being theirs really doesn’t mitigate it but it keeps showing up

No

Tim Drake’s expression watching Jack Fenton scarf fudge knowing that’s his dad

Bruce realizing if he’d looked past the family Christmas cards he coulda saved his niece and nephew

Jason wondering how the fuck these crappy scientists could be his parents then Maddie bodies Bruce and yeah suddenly that tracks

(He will not be admitting that it made sense the second Jack took down a wall instead of the door a foot away from him, no, Maddie’s ninja skills are the genetic part)

Damian’s goddamn CHALLENGE being the Blood Son and super proud of being a Wayne only for Bruce to be like “well actually neither of us are blood Waynes, your brothers have exactly as much right to the name”

Damian fucking STRUGGLING cuz like his dad’s still Batman, even if he’s Bruce Fenton, blood matters to this kid that’s still his birth name and Damian wants to be proud of his heritage

But calling himself Fenton in a world with the Fenton Thermos?

Death is better

From personal experience

(This being the final straw that breaks Damian from his obsession with bloodlines? Extra juicy, cuz Bruce sure as shit would never stop calling himself a Wayne even if the Fenton stays silent)

#dp x dc #raw crack potential #jazz jumping on a new baby brother to psychoanalyze #or just another goddamn billionaire nosing around #ugh why go away #wait why is dad crying #what do you mean danny’s billionaire magnetism is also genetic #bruce trying to politely decline mountains of ham #while plotting to rescue his niblings

A Secwepemc law called X7ensq't says that if you disrespect the land and don't take care of it properly, the land and the sky will turn on you. "It's a serious law," said Mike McKenzie, a Secwepemc knowledge keeper. He said he wonders "how much farther" people want to go in violating it. McKenzie was speaking about the Trans Mountain Corp., which last week resumed construction close to Pipsell, or Jacko Lake, near Kamloops, B.C., after a federal regulator approved a change to the Trans Mountain pipeline route. McKenzie, who has been a vocal critic of the pipeline expansion, said he believes the destruction of the site is a continuation of cultural genocide. "Without that place, we lose a big part of ourselves," said McKenzie, who noted the Secwepemc creation story takes place in Pipsell, and their laws and customs are born from that land. "This is our Vatican. This is our Notre Dame. This is a place that gives our people an identity and kept our people grounded since time immemorial."

Saw the expression meme. How about 2 7 11 and 15 for Wukong and his kids? You can decide who gets what expression between them. :3

Incredibly sketchy, but here's the immediate Sun family in all their expression-filled glory! From top to bottom we've got Sun Wukong, Luohou, Yuebei Xing, and Jidu. And thanks for the request anon; this is messy, but it was very fun :3

#anon answered #journey to the south #sun wukong #monkey king #luohou #yuebei xing #jidu #have to admit this is the happiest I've been with one of my yuebei xing designs #gonna try experimenting more with the idea she has craniofacial duplication #also don't be fooled by the expressions #jidu is just as silly as luohou #but both are still Mt. Huaguoshan's increasingly powerful and increasingly shrewd princes #though as male macaques there's still the expectation that they'll leave some day & join a different mountain/troop #tbh they're kind of excited for those adventures #while Sun Wukong is privately dreading the empty nest syndrome lol #well his daughter yuebei xing's still hanging around her natal group & coming into her own as one of the leading ladies #and he's still grandpa for an ever-growing number of young monkeys #hmmm now this makes me wish there was a jttw/jtts retelling that deals with yaoguai politics

Sandilands and Erickson observe that “at least since the early twentieth century, wild spaces have been understood and organized in a way that presents nature […] as a site for the enactment of a specific heteromasculinity”(3) and that even the beginnings of wilderness preservation and conservation movements in North America were not without this connection. This time period (late nineteenth century), was one of vast changes that meant a lot of anxiety for elite white men and their power such as “immigration, urban expansion, industrialization, women’s increasing economic independence, and the transformation of the economy from entrepreneurial to corporate capitalism, to name a few factors” (3) (Theodore Roosevelt became the poster child for heteromasculinity, as he ‘reinvented’ himself in the wilderness, close by to the same area where Brokeback Mountain was filmed (40)). The wilderness then became a new stomping ground for these elite white men to enact their superiority and assert their ‘increasingly heterosexual identities’ (4).
