「 your beauty never ever scared me. 」

#having a lot of feelings about them this fine friday afternoon #like that specific line from mary on a cross hits so hard knowing how much maki is scared of people seeing her “true form” #true form but its like just a monster form that comes out when she touches dark energy and goes completely feral #cue only guy that sees her for who she is and isn't bothered by the slimy monster she can turn into. #thats not even touching how many “forbidden love” tropes these two dorks have #outside of member of hero's family x member of villain's family #ok im done rambling #dbz #dragon ball #dragonball #oc x canon #fu #dbz oc #sdbh #oc #original character #mafufuki #peridox ocs #maki asabi

Aki makes me shy I’m so insane

#I’ve been rereading chainsaw man and i had a dream about aki last night #now I can’t stop thinking about him #in the dream I was laying in bed with him in the middle of the night and cuddling I think #I have the most intense csm brainrot #I cannot put into words how much I care about aki denji and power #they’re so important to me #not fanon though #I try to stay away from csm content so it doesn’t warp my view of the characters #I like my own interpretation of them purely from reading the manga #ok im done rambling

to every single swiftie anon that sent me hate the other day and told me to go kill myself for being a 1975 stan maybe read this think critically with your brains and like maybe get a life??

#i deleted so many asks about this the other day it was truly ridiculous #ive never gotten anon hate like that and all because i said i love matty healy?? #like ok if you think im wrong then maybe unfollow me and let me be wrong and happy #also this article is really good and nuanced so maybe it’s too complex for some of you to wrap your heads around idk #anyways y’all are lucky i have a strong sense of self and a full life offline cause if not those asks couldve been catastrophic #maybe think before you send hate #ok im done rambling #im gonna go listen to the 1975 ✌🏼 #ana’s silly little thoughts

Trying to keep myself from adding in plot points for no reason because they would drastically change the story and having to convince myself to not do it is like going to a grocery store with a six year old who wants to buy toys that they're never going to play with

#i was filling in a prompt thing and i killed dylan off and i was thinking 'wow good thing that doesn't happen that would really suck #and then i woke up in the middle of the night and i was like 'hey i can make that work' #and like i dont want to do that at all #me: THAT IS AN IMPORTANT CHARACTER WHO SHOULD NOT BE DEAD #shit writer brain: I AM GOING TO KILL THE CHILD #gotta take that one particular character and put them on a high shelf where i cant reach because i KEEP KILLING THAT ONE CHARACTER #like STOP IT #i'd be so emotionally ruined if dylan died canonically and i KNOW THAT because i was emotionally ruined writing the thing i wrote yesterday #i hear what you're saying “isaac shut up no one cares” and guess what #shh #bad things that have happened to dylan this week: shot in two different scenarios. explosion. crushed to death. burned. mind control #rivaling elliot in bad things that have happened to them #ok im done rambling #isaac says things related to his writing again #writing

damn homegirl got me thinkin abt beaujes again...

#ceci brought up beaujes in a convo. #and its down the rabbithole for me again. like clockwork. #i will. never truly get over them ever huh. #they were... they make my hands shake. #shoutout to taylor swift's delicate bc that too is also a beaujes-core song #just as gold rush #ok im done rambling

(wip) finally working on that gabe ask so fun thing from the left side

from an old family photo ezekiel's kids got together when she dragged them all out to get some professional pictures done. to this day everyone clowns lazarus for just ataring down the camera (ezekiel tries to be nicer about it bc thats her baby! but also honey....)

#cliffnotes/.txt #oc corner #little lazarus did NOT like pictures #he doesn't really enjoy them now but he'll tolerate it #when he got older he probably tried to take and hide the picture until ezekiel made him put it back #bc 1 dont argue with ya mama #2 dont argue with ya mama when shes literally a giant woman #zeek probably keeps the photo in her wallet too much to laz's dismay #also thinking gabe caeme out a yesr or two prior to this #she and laz also used to be much closer in size #i mean she still isnt like. MASSIVE compared to him like ezekiel is but shes the tallest now #and look at itty bitty judas rn #ok im done rambling

i saw your post about wanting to bring back the old editing still. I was just talking to a friend about how i missed tumblr and making beautiful creative graphics

hi!

so lately this has been on my mind a lot because I've been going through the archives of editors that would post picspams/graphics/gifsets etc. that I'd be fond of and its soooo sad to see that creativity and talent like that doesn't exist anymore (please note: im not saying that edits these days are bad, they're just different from what i used to see on 2010-2014 tumblr days)

and i know no one asked but here are my top 4 theories as to why we no longer see those types of edits anymore:

a lot of those editors that were the OG creators of picspams/graphics/rainbow giftsets etc. left tumblr! i used to know a lot of those editors and recall them being in their late 20s/30s so perhaps they just grew out of it and have other things to tend to in their personal lives :)

the introduction of other social media apps and incentivites - now that there's instagram and tiktok...social media became more so about posting selfies and videos and getting compliments blah blah you know the whole ordeal BUT ALSO getting paid to create! people who make edits on tiktok literally get paid and same for instagrammers which is great but i found it so amazing that people would put so much effort into creating on tumblr circa 2010-2014 with no incentive other than showing their love for their fandom in a creative way

the. stupid. ass. like. button. UGH! the like button is seriously the downfall of tumblr like the current like to blog ratio is INSANE how is this allowed???? tumblr is not like other social media platforms...pls im begging y'all to reblog. there's nothing quite like a reblog with someone adding hashtags like I LOVE seeing the unhinged stuff ppl tag when they reblog ok that's the beauty of the reblog button

the new tumblr size limit...so yeah i remember being frustrated with the gif size limit but now that there's an increased limit people keep making big gifs and calling it a day WHICH there is nothing wrong with that but that meant people no longer made colorful sets like this or this which i absolutely adored! and genuinely i think those big gifs are more suited for tumblr mobile than tumblr desktop tbh

anyway here is the rant that nobody asked for lol but yeah hoping to see a comeback of picspams, graphics, colorful gifs and OH....follow forevers!! they were so cute :')

my fav oc rn <3 <3 <3 <3 hes so tired. and also so on the verge of destroying everyone. but its ok he'll get there soon 👍

#get there as in get to therapy or get to destroying everyone? the world may never know #can u tell i tried to edit the photo to make it clearer but im very bad at photo editing #his temple name is taizu #bc he's a god :) my boy #his whole world has a bunch of gods but his country's is the most fleshed out right now #his non spoilery info is that his whole family died and he became emperor bc of that #and instead of killing the people who killed his family he decided to spare them and rehabilitate them instead #so then he got the recognition of this like higher power that idk how to concisely describe #and now he's the god of temperance :) #he is not temperate at all but is desperately trying to hide that :) #ok im done rambling #oc #ocs #oc art #original character #sketch #doodle #my art #my ocs

I can have my criticisms of Dream and also like his content and his face and certain parts of his community. Like I got my critiques Holy Shit do I have my critiques but. I don't hate the guy. Hell usually I feel like dislike is a strong word. I wish that was more normal lol. I feel like I only see people who hate him and people who love him.

Like I just kinda enjoy his stuff. And also make sure that enjoyment doesn't turn into idolization bc the man's not perfect.

#ive grown up around upper middle class white boys from florida #i know the schtick #and compared to plenty of people i know he's pretty alright #he's also got room to be better. like holy shit so much room. #bc compared to other people i know he's also kinda. meh. #not some evil mastermind of a guy some people paint him as #not a perfect incapable of making mistakes guy either #ok im done rambling #ive just seen a lot of people's opinions tonight and wanted to share mine

Actually.... have I ever talked about how I think Wheatley is basically the perfect synthesis of what an average Aperture employee was?? Because he was created in Aperture, he'd likely be a reflection of their entire work culture (....moreso than the gimmicky cores we meet in portal/tie-in games). Like the scientists responsible for making him really put all their hatred of their workplace/that-annoying-coworker-they-dislike into him.

He's sooorta miserable but Fine, mostly. A tad paranoid. Kinda classist/ableist (he disparages Manual Laborers in his dialogue and like... everything he says to chell is just so Bad lmao). he's TERRIFIED of GLaDOS but still belittles her. He laughs at the turrets dying in a shredder then realizes how messed up that is and backpedals (also backpedals on his smelly humans bit, but i'll be fair and say he deserves to hate humans as much as GLaDOS does). He breaks the nanomachines' work and then has the audacity to threaten to file a lawsuit against THEM for a Hate Crime?? (which is so so funny for so many reasons but I DIGRESS) Like I don't ascribe to him being a former human employee, but also I can clearly imagine working at Aperture and talking to Wheatley by the water cooler and he's That Moderately Unpleasant Guy who is juuust adequate enough to not be fired but never Exceptional enough to promote, but most importantly, he's not clever enough to actually do anything about his shitty situation in the company. He only fucks up a little less than what is allotted. He's got charisma! Fun for a chat sometimes! But he makes ppl feel bad when they talk to him. He's not the WORST, but he for sure isn't the best. It'd be easy to convince him to commit a crime in the name of Science. (He wouldn't sell your soul for a single corn chip, he'd only sell it for a whole bag.)

Wheatley is THE Aperture employee. And this all tracks because literally what could be a worse decision than continuing to work at Aperture Science?

#portal #portal 2 #wheatley #p2 wheatley #portal wheatley #out of like the four or five aperture employees we see in canon... wheatley fits in perfectly #i love how mediocre he was created to be. thats why im obsessed. science team rly told on themselves with that one!! #thanks for coming to my tumblr where i analyze Wheatley apparently idk what this is #im not smart enough to analyze GLaDOS deeply so im here pondering the Orb #ok im done rambling bye

How to Increase Biodiversity on a Budget - Masterpost

It cannot be stressed enough that supporting native wildlife is important, wherever you are and however you can. But it can feel a bit daunting to think about doing, especially if you’re operating on a smaller budget. It’s not uncommon to hear about someone’s success story and think how much did it cost to do that?

I’m hoping that I can provide a good bunch of ideas on how to help heal the world around you without hurting your wallet. Feel free to use this as a guide, or a bouncing-off point to do actions in your own style!

Before we get Started

I want to make it clear that this is not a checklist of things you are required to do in order to be ‘helping.’ This isn’t an ‘all or nothing’ kind of deal. Every little bit you do helps. Being aware of these options and spreading awareness helps. Doing even just a handful of these options as you’re able to helps.

With that being said, we need to acknowledge that not everything in this list is feasible for everyone. Some people have a fenced yard in the suburbs. Some people have an unfenced yard with judgy neighbors and/or a restrictive HOA policy. Some people can’t directly control their own landscaping, whether that be because of an external lawn maintenance ruling or something like ‘living with your parents.’ Some people have a 4th story apartment with a small balcony. Some people rent and can’t grow directly into the ground. If the best you can do is put up a bird feeder, or grow a few pollinator-friendly plants in pots? I see you. I feel you. I’ve been there. I appreciate what you’re doing, and you know what? So does the wildlife.

love it when a character that's hard to read intuitively for you has like a dedicated fandom interpreter who can just glance at their blank face in a panel and then give you a 3k word essay on their innermost thoughts & desires & fears and neatly tie it back into the themes & whatnot as if it's the most obvious thing in the world

#im talking about griffith btw #guts i feel i get intuitively - maybe because i have some personality traits in common with him #and we get more about his life concretely told to us in canon. so he is a bit easier to pin down as a character and feel attached to for me #but whenever i was reading the manga i just kept wanting more insight about griffith's actions and feelings #like ok yeah its fun to have mysterious antagonists and suspense /tension etc but its also fun to feel like you deeply understand them too #and i felt like that was a bit missing from him for me in canon #so reading about him in analysis and fics is the most fun for me rn #he always felt kinda half unreal to me- which maybe was the point of him - but i wanted a bit more about his childhood or something? #and wished we had more stuff explicitly from his pov in the story to read or explanation about his transformation or wtv #and now he's so much more closed off to me even than he was in the golden age. i keep waiting for him to explain stuff and he does not #ANYWAYS all this rambling to say some people out there are very good at interpreting him and making his like. insecurities #more obvious to me bc i didnt really get that side of him from canon intuitively well #also im really enjoying reading the first few berserk fics ive read #there may not be a ton of them out there but there is def writing talent in the fandom #i'll share some recs once i'm done sifting through most of what's out there to read #also (not to tie everything back to death note but it IS my home fandom after all) #i feel griffith is obvs the more light-like character here and L maybe a bit guts-like? but unlike berserk in death note #light is the one you get to know best and L is the mysterious / unreal one you don't get a lot of concrete insight into #and in the DN fandom I can read the more mysterious character intuitively but had to warm up to the less mysterious one instead #and the mystery of L makes sense to me and doesnt bug me as much due to like - he HAS to hide a lot about himself or else he will die lol #so some similarities there but also some opposite feels as well #berserk spoilers #p
