According to NBC here in the US, the missing titanic sub has been found. As debris. Off the bow of the Titanic wreckage.

And it looks like the sub suffered what we all suspected, and what was undoubtedly the more merciful of the two options: a catastrophic implosion from the pressure.

Also, more info has come to light about the fishing trawler with the hundreds of migrants that sank cataclysmically off the coast of Greece, indicating that the greek coast guard knew about the vessel AND how much trouble the vessel was in, and were towing it at a speed that made it capsize, at which point they unhooked the tow line and watched the trawler sink without helping the passengers to safety. Despite a bunch of other ships trying to help as well throughout the whole ordeal.

So a lot of people are dead, all because of regulations (and the lack thereof) regarding sea-faring vessels and rescue protocols. People shouldnt be allowed to make a business charging a ton of money for a ride on an uncertified, unsafe, un-seaworthy ship going deep into the ocean with no distress beacon or tether to the mothership. People also shouldnt be allowed to enact laws that criminalize the ferrying of refugees, which then force the refugees to hitch rides on fishing trawlers, and which also prevent people from helping those fishing trawlers full of refugees due to fear of legal consequences.

Hopefully BOTH of these events spark changes on an international scale in terms of what is legally allowed to be sailed, who is legally allowed to be the passengers, and what the rescue protocols are in the event of disaster for any seafaring vessel, illegal or not. It shouldnt be just the global 1% who get 24/7 search parties and remote-operated submersibles helping rescue them.

#the question of 'what do we owe to each other' can be answered simply with 'the dignity of retrieving our remains when we die' #another answer is 'the dignity of thinking about each other fellow humans with similar motivations and feelings' #also 'stopping someones potentially self-destructive behaviors just because theyre rich and want to feel special' #also i feel like humans have been sailing the seas long enough that it should be guaranteed that people will survive sea voyages #im very mad about specifically mediterranean maritime disasters because we have ancient writing saying they made it safe #sailing from Egypt to Greece was so old hat and safe that people legit took the ancient equivalent of cruises back and forth #cleopatra habitually sailed from alexandria to rome with a ton of ships and was fine #Nero tried to have his mother drowned at sea by orchestrating a dramatic shipwreck while she was our sailing AND SHE SURVIVED #and then swam to shore got back to rome and whooped his ass #fuckin pliny the elder tried to evacuate people from pompeii and the surrounding coast villages when vesuvius erupted #and he actually WAS able to rescue people #but he himself had an asthma attack from the fumes which led to a heart attack and he died on the beach #there is legit no excuse for that trawler of migrant refugees to have wrecked #negligence all around #anyway #oceangate

Fandoms: Ninja Showdown (Randy Cunningham 9th Grade Ninja x Xiaolin Showdown)

Ship: My Immortal Soul (First Ninja x Chase Young)

A comic where nothing really happens! But it contains a lot of half-naked men. So like, kids avert your eyes and adults don’t open it at work or whatever. ¯\_( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)_/¯

[kittyandco]

if self shipping is "egocentric" then i'll have the biggest ego on the block because no one can tell me that i'm not loved

#i've seen this before. but i was just reminded that people have this opinion. it makes me sad honestly #BOOST THAT EGO. SCREW IT. BOOST THAT EGO #as long as you don't act better than others. a self esteem boost is only gonna do good things to you! #self ship

In your fem!trek, do Jim's boobs still get cameos every other episode? If not, is there an alternative?

hmmmmm.

honestly i have no qualms against going yeah, totally (because, well. 23rd century, after all.) but then again variety is the spice of life and there is just something about underboob and a glimpse of that abdomen that hits SO hard. so i guess f!kirk utilizes this particular... diplomatic strategy constantly loll

also i saw the note you left about f!scotty (saaaame lmao <3333) and let's just say most of the enterprise crew shares the sentiment xDD:

PLEASE enjoy having fat f/os, if you have them! if you're fat or skinny or in between, you can have fat f/os. there's nothing wrong with being romantically attracted or sexually attracted to fat characters. that's not fetishizing.

and the reverse is true! if you're fat and you have skinny f/os, they love you and your body. there's nothing wrong with being fat and having skinny f/os. that's not fetishizing.

fat guys, fat girls, fat enbies, gay or straight or trans queer of another flavor. all good f/os and great shippers.

you don't have to only ship with characters of your body type. that's silly.

have fun!

#self ship #self shipping #self shipping community #I'm a little sad and annoyed #it bugs me when people comes after skinny shippers for liking fat characters and vice versa #because it gives this idea that thin people can't like me #or other fat people #which is dumb! #hush up

Pssst selfshippers please reblog or like this post if you’re okay with people getting obsessed with your selfships or gushing about your selfships or making content about your selfships (like art, writing, headcanons, etc)!! 

I never want to overstep with blogs where their selfships are more personal but I love studying and getting into ships, including selfships! And there are sooo many amazing ones out there to explore! 

[no antis pls!]

#selfship #my posts #specifically i really want to make some summary pages #for my favourite blogs #but i'm not sure if writing things down about other people's ships is frowned upon! #feels odd without permission #so here's what i'm asking!!! #and maybe if i'm stuck on ideas i can go through the notes on this post #and draw things for people! #self ship community #selfshipping #self inserts #s/i #selfship art #selfship writing #self ship

[sxturdaysun]

i am once again saying that there is nothing wrong with being a non-sharing selfshipper. there's nothing wrong with blocking people who share one (or multiple) of your f/os. there's nothing wrong with telling doubles not to interact with you. setting boundaries for yourself and your online space is a moral neutral and has nothing to do with being "insecure" or some other negative. if you find that insulting or belittling, that's on you; not on the person setting the boundary. quit trying to make non-sharers into bad guys.

#*with the obvious disclaimer of: so long as they aren't harassing anybody #but god man. i am so sick of coming online and seeing people act like setting boundaries or not being comfy sharing is a moral failing #just because they are and ''seeing people tell me to dni hurts my feelings :('' #like. okay. that's for MY comfort. maybe reexamine why you're so upset about that that you feel the need to make #an entire post talking about how every non-sharer is insecure and mean and belittling. #self ship community #♡ — ok to rb #bonus: being insecure isn't a moral failing and i find the implication that it is kinda gross! #you're not somehow better than other people just because you're not!

Pikelan is probably the most complex CR ship and more people need to realize that instead of branding it as the "haha funny gnomes" ship.

because the entirely of Pikelan revolves around Scanlan, a very charismatic bard who flirts with literally everyone around him but is head-over-heels in love with his cleric friend but is tragically dogshit at expressing it so he resorts to doing crude bits and gags that ultimatly mask who he truly is.

And then you have Pike, a cleric brimming with self-confidence, who absolutely loves Scanlan for who he is, but is constantly getting mixed signals, because on one hand, he's constantly doing crude jokes and flirting with every person he sets his sights on (even so far as going after his unknown daughter) but on another, he tenderly holds her while she's bleeding and he's constantly at her side during battle and even tends to her emaciated brother for her and it's beautiful to watch, but the moment, the moment she brings it up, he reverts back to his crass personality and it just leaves her reeling about who he truly is.

And then we get to Bards Lament, and Scanlan, after tip-toeing around his true emotions for so long, finally snaps and lets everything he's been feeling (all the pain, and self-loathing manifested as anger towards everyone else, because even in his darkest moment, he's still so dogshit at expressing it for what it truly is) and Pike, who's been wrestling with these mixed signals, finally gets his true feelings on what he feels, calling her magic weird, hating that the same magic that has kept him alive and safe for so long brought him back to his sad existence, hating her for doing it. In the end, Scanlan leaves, just as Pike left the first time and the second time. And Pike stays behind, watching as he heads towards somewhere where she cant follow, abandoning the team and her and grog and everything they've built for themselves. She loves him, and him leaving brings her to that point.

The two are split apart, and despite the anger and hurt, the need for connection with each other is so strong. Scanlan reveals that he dident fully leave Taldorei at first, that he was only 20 miles away in another town entirely, listening to Pike's earing conversations. And eventually, when Scanlan is on another continent, he finds a temple of the Everlight (or just simply begins talking to Everlight) and prays, prays for guidance on finding forgiveness for what he said and did. He's deeply in love with pike, and still is, going to her god for answers to his problems, the quickest connection to Pike that he has between one giant ocean and a continent.

And Pike, despite holding a very rightful disdain for what he said to her, keeps him up to date, informs him of her happenings with the people of Whitestone. She should fucking hate his guts and yet the person she wants to speak to at the end of her day is a bard who (for all she knows) threw his earing away and traveled to some far off place, forever gone from Vox Machina, from her. Yet she keeps speaking.

They switch roles, with Scanlan becoming the quiet solitary one seeking forgiveness for his actions and Pike becoming the people oriented one.

When they reunite, it's tense and sad and angry. So many things said in anger and hurt and they don't really know where to step in the case that something, anything might send them back to that angry, angry place. And suddenly their back at the same place they were before, before the fight.

Pike is, again, trying so hard to sift through the mixed signals he's giving because he's being Scanlan again! Charming bard, essential party member, more confident than he's ever been! but now he's standing near the back and holding his hands and apologizing with a soft voice that she hasn't heard in over a year and a half and rebuilding the bridges he's burned and she doesn't know what to think!

And Scanlan is giving an honest effort at trying to fix what he's broken. He's working harder than ever, he's apologizing. He tries very hard to have conversations with people and fixing what he can. But, again, he's Scanlan, who is less dogshit at expressing what he feels, but still pretty dogshit none the less, and now he's a crime boss and still a beloved bard, but he's also surrounded by the friends, some of them he loves so dearly and he's trying, he's trying so hard

Eventually, everything is forgiven and in the end, Pike and Scanlan come to term with themselves and each other. Pike comes to terms with knowing that Scanlan is a complex person, a broken person just trying to figure his way through this world, just as she had done.

in the end, Pike becomes the person Scanlan feels the most free to be around, one where he doesn't have to put on the mask of a performer, where he can just be Scanlan the gnome instead of Scanlan, bard extraordinaire. and Pike comes to terms with knowing that Scanlan is a complex person, a broken person just trying to figure his way through this world, just as she had done before.

and together, they are beautiful reflection of each other.

#critical role #yes theyre haha funky gnomes but theyre more than that and more people need to see it #Pikelan is a good ship ya'll just lacked critical reading skills #between him seeking forgivness through reflection and her choosing to liver her best self through socialization #between Scanlan being the reason Pike's ressurection succeeded and Pike being the reason Scanlan's ressurection succeeded #to Scanlan watching pike walk away when she needed her time away to Pike watching Scanlan walk away when he needed to leave #Pike and Scanlan invented being parallel mirrors of each other #pike trickfoot #scanlan shorthalt #pikelan #critical role c1 #the legend of vox machina #critical role spoilers #tlovm #tlovm spoilers #pike and scanlan are romantic foils as well as character foils and its a beautiful back and forth that they have

This might be kind of a loaded question but I'm genuinely curious. Mostly for my mutuals who self ship but obviously you're welcome to vote even if you don't self-ship.

There is absolutely no shame or malice directed in voting no, I'm trying to gauge how universal my own experiences are!

#tai talks #polls #feel free to rb!! #ive seen a few of my mutuals talk openly abt this and it makes me SOOO HAPPY ?? like unbelievably happy #i dont talk about my f/os at all bc im not very active in the selfship community but i do really enjoy seeing OTHER peoples self ships #for the record i hc MOST of my f/os or even just my blorbos as trans its just who i am as a person #curious to see if anyone else does this :)c
