Happy International Woman's Day!

Probably won't have time to draw but the official NSR twitter reposted this artwork of mine so might as well repost it here as well!

I'm really happy with the comments and support that trans Zimelu is getting from the community! :3

how is my friend's baby 12 days overdue and didn't come during the massive blizzard we had yesterday

#the entire town and most of the state had no power #the roads were basically impassable everywhere #thats exactly when you expect a baby to come esp if he's overdue #like he was WAITING for the blizzard #he wasnt going to come a week ago when the weather was nice and the roads were good #but no update so im assuming still no baby #he was never going to get a better chance to come at an inconvenient time #also im lowkey sad bc my mom pointed out he's probably never going to be able to wear tbe cute bear onsie i got him #its super warm and fluffy and he totes could have worn it if he came on time before easter #maybe not for beey long tho #but its april and this blizzard may have been our last snow 😔 #and he wont fit in it anymore in the fall #we have a slight chance of snow next week but more likely rain #anyway we shall see it might be chilly for a few more weeks and the occasional random day in april or may #but he's def missed peak dress your baby like a teddy bear weather #maybe i'll buy them the size up in the fall it wasnt that expensive lol #anyway my friend lives ~next door~ like half a mile away down a hill then up a really big hill and we couldn't get out of our driveway #but i told her to lmk if they needed anything bc i would have walked thru 2ft of snow if they needed it lol #but they were probably better off than we were bc they have a woodstove and probably a generator and her father in law has a snow plow #i think #so they probably weren't even trapped in the house lol

[singsweetmelodies]

were you ever intimidated by me? 😌😏😚

ACTUALLY HMMM... i'm trying to think back now. here, have a sexy pierre gif so long

(still thinking. admittedly getting distracted by the sexy pierre gifs.)

(yeah i am deliberately looking for gifs where he looks like he's thinking, and looks sexy doing that. to be fair though, he looks sexy doing anything.)

the look, pierre. the LOOK. i melt

CONCENTRATION!!!

(AKA, something which i do not have. i will answer your question in the tags, bb. i love you. pls focus on the sexy pierre gifs and not me being a disaster ❤️)

#asks & answers #briony tag 🌊❤️ #was i ever intimidated by you? GOOD question!! #i think.... maybe for all of one evening #i'd just read your fic (the piarles road trip au 🥺🥺) and decided to message you #SCARY THAT. im actually not an extrovert at all #so i was probably quite terrified/intimidated for the time it took me to write the message and wait for a reply #HOWEVER. as soon as that reply was received... #you were just the sweetest and most welcoming person EVER #started talking to me about fake dating immediately... #i still remember the way i was walking back from some shop or other texting you and just thinking 'her!! i love her. she stays' #and; well #the rest is history 😘❤️ #pretty sure i started bullying you on day 2 actually 🤣🤭 so yeah... the intimidation disappeared FAST bahahaha #but it was replaced by absolute adoration so you can't even complain ❤️ #mwah #ily always

brb mourning all the past mutuals/friends/followers that I've had delightful conversations or interactions with, who either have deactivated unbeknownst to me, or have changed their handles since we've last spoke and I may no longer recognize.

#you all make everything ten times better #and my heart hurts when i think of past mutuals i loved talking to dearly #only to find out one day in the past present or future have deactivated #and ill probably never find again #know that i wish you well in everything you do or have done #and my love and support follows you like a trail of ghostly lights making sure you're safe #that all the moments weve shared meant worlds to me and i can only hope they were the same for you #miss you forever and always and tucking away all the sweetest memories into a box to brush off and open sometime down the road #only to think of you fondly once more with a tenderly aching yet loving feeling in my heart and mind #sorry for the lengthy rant but i can remember users who have just dissipated like a mist into what i hope is a better place beyond #i hold those memories like fragile spun glass now #though they felt like cotton candy memories full of lightness & joy & pure undiluted happiness #that is all & now i must take this nostalgia sword out of my heart and press on #all my love #your very own glitterghost #✨️👻

What’re your favorite kh ships?

If I'm being honest... I really only true ship SoKai these days (my forever OTP). Mainly because I feel like that's the only one I can really ever see actually being canon (well, aside from Yozora and Nameless Star, and I also ship them: a lot of that for Versus XIII reasons. My heart won't let go). And, I mean, not that a ship needs to be canon for me to ship them. Not at all. But I'll admit that I've grown out of some of the KH ships a wee bit, as I've found more adult ones in other fandoms to get invested one.

That being said, the KH ships that I do still care about are:

SoKai

RokuShi

Namiku

RokuNami

Terqua (though it seem these days the kids call it Terrqua. Or Terraqua?)

Gulava

Skulmera

Playerlitzia

YozoraNameless Star

Xehaqus

AkuSai

SoRiKai

RiKai

Roxiri (though not in canon. More in fanon. More for crack, kind of, actually. And friendship first and foremost)

I'm warming up to Replinami some these days, because of the tragedy of it all.

I've also started to warm up to Rion a wee bit... that past Shanna thought she'd never see.

SoNami in CoM only.

I could do XionRoxasNaminé. NamiXI, too.

VenAqua slightly, but I'd always choose Terra and Aqua over it (but one thing about the Wayfinder Trio for me, if I'm being truthful, is that I prefer the three of them as friends before any romance with any of them. Part of me even really thinks all three of them are truly just meant to be friends.)

A lot of people ship Ven and Strelitzia for some reason. And I doubt it'll ever happen, tbh. Who knows if they'll ever even really get a chance to meet and be friends. But I do get why they think it'd be cute.

And while I don't know if I truly ship them anymore, a part of me will always have a soft spot for Ventus and Naminé. Because for some reason, I really used to ship this crack pairing, back in the day.

I also don't really know if I ship them... but despite what I said above, I do get the feeling that Nomura might be doing something with Lauriam/Marluxia and Elrena/Larxene.

#i used to LOVE vanaqua and vannami. and some of my heart probably always will for that reason (mainly the former). but for the most part i #think i'm over it #i also used to ship ephemer and ava a tiny bit. but i'd pick gulava any day #i also used to get into olette pairings. but tbh. i just can't really be bothered anymore #i also used to somewhat ship ira and invi because of that comment in back cover about them having to see each other less now so the others #wouldn't get the wrong idea (because taken out of context it sounds like they're dating). or aced and invi because they reminded me (and #everyone) of terra and aqua. but i was never really serious about those to begin with and have let them go. -shrugs- #really. at the end of the day. it's sokai. forever and always: sokai #asked and answered #and really the main ones for me are sokai rokushi namiku rokunami and terqua #but mostly sokai -i say. sounding like a broken record- #and while we're mentioning everything (because somehow that's what this post turned into) i used to be big on larxel (like khii days) #but not for many--MANY--years #wait. i do like gulava a lot too. and rikai. because riku and kairi--in whatever form they're in--don't get enough love #there's also a tiny bit of me that ot3s eraqusxehanortvor. xehaqus is the otp and they're perfect together: i know and agree with this #and yet they have an interesting dynamic with vor. i feel like before dark road started they were the SLIGHTEST bit of a trio. not truly #because xehanort and eraqus still spent way more time together but it was there a little bit #and it's interesting to me that eraqus. of all people. gets annoyed at vor snooping on them some at the beginning of dark road #before the game came out if you told me something like that would have happened i would have guessed it was xehanort. but nah. it's eraqus #and xehanort moreso telling him to chill and letting vor tag along (and the eraqus thing wasn't really serious. and more in good fun #because he DOES care about her). and then they're both DEVASTATED when she dies. and vor really cared about them #also a slight ot3 with xehanorteraqusurd because despite what i just said about vor it's URD they spend the most time with in dark road and #i like their dynamic with her too. -shrugs- #vanikai a smidge back in the day

The Road Not Taken 

BY ROBERT FROST

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, And sorry I could not travel both And be one traveler, long I stood And looked down one as far as I could To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair, And having perhaps the better claim, Because it was grassy and wanted wear; Though as for that the passing there Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay In leaves no step had trodden black. Oh, I kept the first for another day! Yet knowing how way leads on to way, I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh Somewhere ages and ages hence: Two roads diverged in a wood, and I— I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference.

#i remember reading someone say once that this is one of the most popular poems in the english language despite being the most misunderstood #if you ask someone on the street what they remember it means they usually say it’s about taking the road less traveled and being independen #not taking the traditional way and forging your own path. at least that’s what culture has taken from the poem #but it’s actually about how no matter which path you take you always think back with regret that you didn’t take another #and that you think you can see what each path will lead to but you can’t and at the end of the day they’re not that different #when the older version of the narrator says ‘i took the road less traveled by and that has made all the difference’ that’s how they’re #contextualizing and giving meaning to their decision and their life but one can never know the ‘difference’ that was made because #we can’t live more than one life in order to find out if there really is a difference #we make ourselves promises that we’ll live every version of life and take all the paths we cross but we get older and we realize we can’t #not only that we can’t but we didn’t and we never will have done #when we say that choice made all the difference we’re not talking about how we won because we were independent or started a new trail for #others to follow we’re just saying that that choice made our life what it is and that can never be undone and we can never know what could #have happened #i think that take on it is more depressing for people so they stick with the other one #it’s more inspiring to think of it as a poem about making your own way rather than as a poem about how we are forced to make every decision #that will determine our fates without knowing what might happen and with our eyes closed and ears plugged and no matter what we do #we will probably live to regret something about it #anyway enough rambling #did you know robert frost was a march aries #w #robert frost #kennapost

tradie steve but only bc i wanna see him in the uniform

#idk if its bc im a small-rural-town australian or if its just a me thing but theres something about the hi-vis shirt/mining pants combo #that gets to me #i saw a couple guys crossing the road the other day and they had their shirts fully untucked and the top buttons were undone a little bit #like they were probably on their way to TAFE so they were dressed lazy #and me and my cousin just immediately locked eyes like 'oh my /god/' #so yeah i wanna see steve in the fading orange and the hi-vis stripes #imagining him picking the kids up from school and hes leaning against his car in the dirty steel caps and hes rolled his sleeves up #dreamy sigh #steve harrington #stranger things #captain speaks

#tomorrow is the day the measurements start. the start of my 40+ days of torment. but idk im glad its finally here #i dont have to dread it anymore. hopefully its the last time i have to do these type of measurements #i was talking to my boss yesterday and she was like: oh last timr we were out i realized this might be ur last time doing lpi for thr rest #of ur life. and i was like god i hope so. bc thats a process where i crawl across the ground for 50m per transect and identify all the #plants and soil cover and for the life of me i cant fucking remember plant codes. i hate it bc i basically have to talk for like 3hrs and #have someone standing over my shoulder recording me and all the while my brain is screaminf at me bc field work doesnt count as real work #in my stupid brain. so yea ill do lpi and soil stability as benign torment in purgatory #but anyway. im hesitantly optimistic abt the measurements i have to take bc im going to try my best to make it ok bc i have school #interviews looming and i have to pretend im hanging on by more than a single thread ya kno #so we r going to b careful abt it. well at least well see how long it lasts. i also have tk find the time to read a bunch before interviews #while my brain is completely fried idk how. and do other lab stuff. sigh... #idk im probably going to take measurements all the way thru sunday and then monday see if i can fill out patent intake info with a psy #psychiatrist. and hope they take my insurance. i called and checked for providers and they were the only one in the area so shoulf b ok but #ya kno. god im barely a functional person. like the fact that i have to drive 8min down the road is very nearly enough for me to say fuck #it. id rather suffer forever. i just hate driving so much :-P #i just wish i could focus enough to make words make sense and justify the time i spend to learn things. agh #lmao im such an anxious person. a lab mate had a birthday today and my boss and a fellow lab member surprised her with a cake #and im v worried abt when my birthday happens. it wasnt so bad last time bc another birthday was also that week so the focus was off me a #lil but with my boss leaving this school i was like. yes. i escape the surprise gathering. but probably not. same for when i leave #genuinely i do not want a gathering. i just feel like im waiting for them to end. not that i dont like my lab mates but idk it feels so #artificial. and i feel awkward bc i never make eye contact or look at anyone in a way i think is typical bc i see ppl look at me #like turn their head to see my reaction to something and i just like fundamentally do not understand that impulse #whatever. what i want for my birthday or going away is to not attend the gathering. make it more like a wake lol #but i kno that wont happen. last year my boss asked whst i wanted and i said nothing and she said that wasnt allowed #im just so neurotic that if u try to do anything for me itll prob just upset me. but idk ppl like to give presents and stuff #and sometimes things arent all abt me. so i just gotta accept it and go cry abt it later #but thats like 3 months away so i dont kno why im so stressed abt it now. I've got more pressing things to stress abt #unrelated

[knowerofuselessfacts]

Me, trying to remember to use CBT: Would *you* be mad at someone for doing xyz? No? Then they probably arent either!

#thinking of the time I almost got into a car accident #someone was doing 35 on a 50 mph main road #and I wanted to see if I could pass because there was a gap about 8 or 9 semi trucks infront of them #in the second it took me to look in the rear mirror #they stopped on a dime #no reason #and this is a dry and clear as fuck day in the spring #so there is no weather #so I pulled into the shoulder to avoid hitting them #and the person behind me honked #and this was a few years ago #and i'm still sitting here like 'were they mad at me?' #answer: probably not #they were probably mad at the guy who stopped on a fucking state highway

#ooc #|| *is genuinely worried for Remington* #|| I love his voice. He's so talented. I don't regret listening to him but man I'm worried he'd do something to himself. #|| There had been that one occasion when he hinted at sxicide on Twitter. #|| I panicked so much I wrote to him on Instagram. I never do that. But I got so scared of losing him that I just couldn't... #|| I keep thinking how Linkin Park's Chester wrote most of their songs and how each of them were probably cries for help. #|| And even though my words probably wouldn't've meant anything to him I still feel a massive amount of guilt. #|| That I never thought of telling him how much his songs meant to me. That he saved my life. #|| If I'd told him I probably wouldn't feel that guilt to this day. So I can just hope... that Remington will take good care of himself. #|| There are roads one shouldn't take. Taking one's life is such a road. 😔 #|| And I know what I'm talking about. I've been there. Many many times. 😔 #suicide mention tw #death tw #personal

Bro I got a speeding ticket (that was stupid btw) and I gotta talk to my dad about it but absolutely under no circumstances can I let my mother know but they’re both awake. This is terrible

#if my mother finds out she will straight up be like you’re no longer allowed to drive my car and I don’t think you should get your own car #and will blow it wayyyyyyy out of proportion #my father will be like oh well that’s dumb but I can probably take care of it for u #if ur curious there’s a small part of a service drive that is drastically slower than the rest of the road #so of course I was going over #and there was a cop camping out clearly waiting to catch people there #and he’s like oh I’ll do u a favor and make it really small <3 #right after saying oh you had no idea did you #and it’s like. bestie if you really were like oh let me help you out you’d say oh I’m giving you a warning be more careful #so irritated still #but like. now that I’m home I really would like to talk to my dad #but my mother is in the living room #who will literally act like I totaled her car for fun #like she is not grounded in reality on a normal day she’s not gonna start now #so I guess I just have to hope she goes to bed soon #soup talks

I feel like I need a weekend to recover from my weekend

#it's a whole story #basically I visited some family friends #had an allergic reaction to something (a fabric treatment on the couch probably) #had an awful sleep on a super hard bed #next day wrecked my shit falling off my skateboard going downhill #road rash/scraped my left elbow and both knees and ripped my pants #dignity destroyed #mad about the ripped pants cause they were new #another night in the awful bed #definitely in pain especially in the knees #full of regret #luckily I was wearing my wristguards and my hands and wrists were unhurt #and I had my helmet on and luckily did not hit my head at all #0/10 do not recommend #and am still exhausted #personal #random

courting antisemitism

so i recently decided to take a look at the latest stonetoss comics (probably because i love suffering). and while i was expecting some content on the israel palestine conflict, what i did not expect was how... standard it seemed. well, most of it at least, but i'll get to that in a second.

for context, if you don't know what stonetoss is, it's a (poorly drawn) webcomic known for having radical alt-right views - meaning it's incredibly racist, homophobic, transphobic, islamophobic, antisemitic. all that fun stuff.

so while i was expecting to see bad stuff, one of the first things i saw on the topic of israel was this:

terrible art aside, this comic is making a point that i usually see in left wing circles: that israel is pinkwashing genocide.

curious if there was more like this, i kept looking, and the comic right before that one was this:

again, this makes points that i usually see in left wing circles. that american healthcare is crazy expensive, that canada tells poor people to commit suicide, and that israel is bombing hospitals.

why does stonetoss, this well known alt-right nutjob, now seem to be bringing up left-wing talking points?

curious, i kept going deeper:

well this is... odd. clearly, stonetoss is trying to say that israel is on another level of bad, even worse than russia, iran, and north korea. i can possibly see someone on the left making the argument that the russian invasion of ukraine isn't as bad as what israel is doing in gaza, or that at least north korea isn't invading any other countries, but... iran??? the country that has a police force designed to enforce religious law, and gets away with murdering women who do not properly cover their hair? the country that props up paramilitary groups in countries all over the middle east, including lebanon, yemen, and yes, palestine?? that's completely ridiculous

but, given how much more israel is in the news nowadays than any of these other countries, i could see why someone would buy this

and now, we're starting to get to the crux of what stonetoss is trying to do. when someone sees this, they might be inclined to agree with it. they might begin to think that israel is the worst country on the planet

and that might not seem so bad at first. but the more you hate israel, especially irrationally, the more you feel allowed to dehumanize those who support it. the more you might be willing to agree with this comic, which came out two days prior to the one above

this comic says that jews, as a whole have no desire to exist with other people. it is blatantly antisemitic

i'm sure you could imagine some young leftist who sees the comics above this one and thinks, "this guy makes some good points". and then, when they get to this one, they might realize that this is antisemitism

or, they may not.

and that would start them down the road to becoming an antisemite.

this is what stonetoss and other alt-right nutjobs are hoping to achieve. to take left wing fury at israel, and direct it at jews.

we saw it with those neo-nazis at the palestine rally, and we're seeing it again here.

and if you've found yourself agreeing with what stonetoss has said so far, i would like you to see the last comic stonetoss put out before october 7th:

this horrifically racist comic is in reference to an environmental activist who was murdered by a black man in early october. this blatantly racist garbage is the kind of stuff stonetoss usually puts out.

but as soon as october 7th happened? these were his next two comics:

stonetoss completely changed the comic's tone as soon as the current crisis started. why?

to get as many people as possible to get on board with hating jews.

and i know many of you might be thinking that "well, everyone knows that stonetoss is racist garbage. nobody is going to fall for this"

except, as we saw with the neo-nazis at the rally for palestine, it's not always that obvious who the antisemites are and who is just rallying for peace. they are often a lot better at disguising it than stonetoss is.

AND EVERYONE NEEDS TO BE AWARE OF THAT

EVERYONE, no matter HOW much experience you have, can fall victim to propoganda. EVERYONE needs to be aware of what people around them are saying, and able to pick out hateful rhetoric, because even the stuff that is just kind of toeing the line of what's hateful is still putting your foot in the door

be cautious, everyone. and stomp out hate where you see it.
