If I start monologuing or interrupting the conversation, I need you to tell me very explicitly that I’m doing it. I try really hard to not be rude and to overtake a conversation but I don’t realize I’m doing it. I’m good at following boundaries.

Designing Hyde is so hard. I just imagine him like this. That’s all. His actual face? I have no idea.

Saying love is what makes life livable sounds cringy but it's true, it's the love I have for coffee that makes my mornings sweet, the love I have for sleeping that makes the nights beautiful and the love I have for happiness that makes me look for it

House MD is such a funny show because it has like. deep and thought-provoking discussions of ethics, philosophy and morality, commentary on things like living with a disability, mental illness, addiction and social stigma and then boom! Transphobic joke.

#one moment house gives a lecture on ableism in society #just to turn around and call a deaf kid who doesn't want to be cured a disgrace to all disabled people #the 2000s were such a strange time #house md #h #moje

a slight continuation of sean's sketchbook in his artstyle that i made following the blood brothers ending :)

i said this on another acc, but im gonna be reproducing all of sean's sketchbook in ballpoint pen!! its based off of my playthrough so my choices are gonna be reflected in his sketchbook :)

some of the main choices are: he's low morality, high brotherhood, kissed finn + did the heist. in my mind, he has always been morally dubious in the fact that he was always constantly thinking of survival in a "it was them or us" kind of way, but always has his little brother at the absolute forefront of his mind

the amount of sean sketchbook pages i do for the blood brothers ending is determined based on how many pages are left after i finish all the pages that happened in the game :D (i bought a really big sketchbook so i have a feeling it'll be a lot LMFAO, i'll post all of them though)

#sean diaz #daniel diaz #esteban diaz #life is strange 2 #lis 2 #lis 2 fanart #dn had sm potential for the brothers afterwards but for some reason chose not to act on it #so imma do it myself #btw blood brothers is my favorite ending and what i consider to be THE ending #sorry i dont fw high morality bros just bc i think that they've been too fucked over by american society #they deserve to go a little crazy #i hope his handwriting is faithful to the sketchbook bc imma be honest #its harder to recreate the handwriting than it is to actually draw everything LMAO #sam's art

WAIT I realized yall probably dont know, but jacob andrews from drawfee/sss made an rpg system? it's wicked simple and they've played it twice now on drawfee, but I thought the rpg community on here would want to hear about it! it's called you awaken in a strange place, it's built to be completely improvised in one setting, everyone comes to the session completely unprepared, all the world-building and character creation and playing is done all in one go. all you need to play is 4 people, something to write with, and 2d6.

the game page is here on itch.io, but basically, one player comes up with the genre, another thinks of an adjective, and the third a location. (ex. a space western on the spicy titanic) then, everyone makes a statement about something that is true about the world. (ex. there are roving monster truck gangs) you come up with a kind of character you might like to be and 4 skill verbs that relate to them, which get the attributes +2, +1, -1, and -2. (ex. lying, standing still, jazzing, lifting furniture) everyone does that, including the gm so there are 16 skills total, most of which everyone just has +0 to, and those are the only skills you can use through the game. the appointed gm takes a few minutes to come up with a story, and you play! theres some other mechanics for getting bonuses to rolls, hp, helping other players' rolls, etc, but that's the main flow of it. I think it's a super clever system and really fun to goof around with your friends!

ok guys how do we think School Facilities would work in a furry universe. Separating stuff by species size would make sense in areas like medicine, because of equipment size and staff, but seems like it wouldn't be good to separate furs as they're growing up....

I think that furs as children would all be in the same classrooms no matter what... (This actually also serves a purpose in Cow Al's childhood narrative.) With extra precautions or steps taken to ensure safety if there's students with massive size differences.

But what about when they get older and the difference also grows in scale? I don't know how I feel about stuff like "big animals and small animals are separated" but also imagine being a mouse fur struggling to hear the professor over the bigger fur species in your special area in the same classroom...or like always needing 50 different table sizes for whatever configuration of species your students are gonna be this year

#yay furry society talk again its been years #talkys #ill put it in both the tags i use for this #sociolowogy #furversey #long post #big furs and small furs being separated makes me feel strange but also imagine never ever getting to have a class with #your crush in high school because she's a giraffe and youre a rabbit

Stewjon is Space Scotland: Names and Naming Conventions

For context, I designed an entire naming system for my Stewjon is Space Scotland AU. I'm still trying to work out the cultural logistics of it, but the actual practical logistics I have down.

To break everything down:

Stewjon is a clan-centric society, with clans and clan names having a hugely important role in the culture. I therefore had clan names feature in both the first and last name of Stewjonis.

-The last name (Kenobi) is the family/clan name, and is passed down the family paternally. This is both because I'm from a western culture with a paternal naming tradition, and also because I liked how his parents names sounded when the last names transferred paternally but not maternally. "Ken" would translate to "Clan" (I don't know if this is accurate to Scots English or Scots Gaelic, but I'm working from canon Star Wars names and trying to worldbuild from nothing so work with me here), and then the clan name "Obi" is attached, so "Kenobi" translates to "Clan Obi" or "of Clan Obi"

-The given name (-Wan, but we'll get to "Wan" in a second) is one to two syllables. All of these names are (according to Wikipedia) actual Scottish names, which I picked from the list mostly based on how well they'd sound next to the clan name.

-The prefix clan name (Obi-) is the interesting part. All children are given the father's clan name as both their first and last clan name. Therefore, Obi-Wan Kenobi, son of Ito-Benneit Kenobi, has "Obi" in both his first and last name. However, upon marriage, the couple swaps their prefix clan names to signify the tie between their clans. Therefore his mother Ito-Ceit Kenito and his father Obi-Benneit Kenobi became Obi-Ceit Kenito and Ito-Benneit Kenobi upon their marriage.

-Originally I was going to do something with the fact that "Obi" means belt in Japanese, such as making the clan names signify professions in the same way "Miller" or "Smith" would in English surnames, but I gave up because Japanese is so different of a language from what I understand that I would have just made myself very confused and everyone who understands Japanese language and culture very mad. So I just went with a vowel-consonant-vowel pattern for all the clan names and called it a day.

-Remember how I said we would come back to "Wan"? Obi-Wan wasn't born Obi-Wan Kenobi. He was born Obi-Owen (Owen is a whole 'nother thing and I decided to just give myself a freebie on it), and his name was anglicized (basic-icized?) upon being brought to the Jedi temple. Not on purpose, but it did happen. So technically the chart above should have him listed as Obi-Owen Kenobi, but I already took the screenshot so this is what we're working with.

-Culturally, it's respectful to refer to someone by their full name (Obi-Owen Kenobi). The full name stands until two people are fairly close to each other, platonically or romantically. The informal, friendly version would be their full first name (Obi-Owen). So you wouldn't call your new friend "Obi-Owen" until you're quite close, even if you're social equals. Technically you could refer to someone by their given name only (Owen), but it's awkward and Stewjonis don't really see a reason for it. All of this highlights the cultural emphasis placed on clans and clan ties in Stewjoni society.

The Family Tree

THE KIDS

Starting from the bottom, we have the four Kenobi siblings. Obi-Conn is the oldest, and he marries Yana-Eóin Kenyana, becoming Yana-Conn Kenobi. None of this happens in the story but I wrote it in the chart anyways. Obi-Eóin is nonbinary, which is why their square is white instead of blue or pink.

Obi-Mór and Obi-Pál are twins and approximately four years younger than Yana-Conn. Obi-Mór is ambiguously disabled (she has some form of muscular disability, but the specifics weren't relevant to the story). Obi-Pál is just some guy and I love him for that.

Obi-Owen is the baby of the family. He's twelve years younger than the twins (16 years younger than Yana-Conn) and was definitely an oopsie-baby. I don't need to say anything else because he is also one of the major characters of the Star Wars franchise. You know him.

THE PARENTS

Obi-Ceit Kenito and Ito-Benneit Kenobi are the Kenobi siblings' parents. I don't have much to say here other than that Ito-Benneit shortens his name to Ito-Ben, to avoid the repeated "eet" sound in his full first name. I'm sure that doesn't affect Obi-Owen's future nicknames in any way!

It is Ito-Benneit fault, by the way, that I made clan prefixes instead of surnames to be switched upon marriage. Culturally, it would have made more sense for the more commonly used first name to hold your birth clan and your less commonly used surname to indicate your linked-by-marriage clan, but I needed Obi-Benneit to marry into the name Ito-Benneit so that I could shorten it to Ben. Goddammit.

THE GRANDPARENTS

Ito-Ben's parents are entirely irrelevant so they don't exist. Sad!

Technically I didn't have to name Ito-Lili Kenuna, but I felt bad having her up there as an unnamed person. Una-Owen Kenito, as you may suspect, is where Obi-Wan's name comes from. I really wanted to highlight his Stewjoni heritage in this fic, so giving him family ties through his whole name was important to me. Obi-Ceit names Obi-Owen for her father because Una-Owen was a strong fighter, and she wants to pass that resilience to her son. Which, uh. Well he sure is resilient to things trying to kill him!

Feel free to come yell at me in the askbox about Stewjon's worldbuilding!

It has been so long since I had fun taking my time and polishing an illustration. This has absolutely no special meaning, it was more "hey, I have this idea and I want to do it". Also sorry Steve, I needed to move your organs a little to make it functional (๑˘ᵕ˘)

(My first idea was a following of this post (kinda) but to be precise Billy should be put more under Steve's right pec so let's ignore it 😂)

readers: geralt didn’t realize regis was a vampire as soon as he met him, how inattentive is our witcher?!

geralt: yeah, i did think regis was a little weird when i met him, but i mean, i just thought he was autistic. . . and he is autistic, but he is also a vampire as well

#regis was in a cemetery at midnight and geralt was like thats strange but maybe this is a unique routine #regis lives alone three months out of the year and geralt was like hmm i wonder if he finds the city stimuli and society overwhelming #when regis started talking about mandrakes and distillation it was all over geralt was like ok suspicions confirmed #incorrect witcher quotes #im sorry if it ever seems like i post about regis being autistic too much it is because it is true and i am right

something ive noticed in certain spaces is aspiring bears who are beginning to call themselves fat and chubby when theyre still very much thin bodied. and i have to preface this by stressing that i support them in their journey, i was in that exact position once, i have nothing but joy and support for them, BUT. there is a responsibility to be had, i think, in what u start calling fat and chubby. u are coming from a beautiful point of view with really great and positive intentions in mind, but if u are not fat and u keep calling urself that, it does not look any different in peoples minds to calling any other average thin body fat. its okay to be excited about getting more meat on ur bones and celebrating it! its okay to acknowledge that u arent scrawny and bony and a size small to medium! but please be mindful of what kinds of bodies u are calling fat, even if its ur own and even if its in a positive light

#kitty purrs #fat tag #this isnt perfectly articulated but i hope everyone understands what im saying #ive seen it come up lately so its been on my mind #and it keeps striking me in a very strange way #because im nothing but excited for them! #but it just kind of rubs me the wrong way #it feels like a strange example of how absolutely skewed society #s views on body size are #that a thin person believes theyre fat because they have enough meat to not be bony #and the thing is im talking from personal experience #i was that exact aspiring bear. i was average i was not fat. i was calling myself fat #because i believed i was for not being stick thin #even though calling myself that was with joy and not hate
