#when specifically specified NOT to

[bumblingbabooshka]

We must stop interpreting Tuvok's rejection of spice as indicative of Vulcans as a whole and focus in on it as an individual failing that falls on his shoulders alone...

#voy #Tuvok #When Tuvok orders 'mild spice' at a restuarant on Vulcan he has to specify that he MEANS 'mild' #and his family is like auuuughhhh......<-internally #many things Tuvok attributes to Vulcans as a whole very conveniently line up with things he specifically doesn't want to do <3 #and you know what? I'd absolutely 1000% do the same thing if I were the only Human amongst Aliens #soooorrrry oh my god this is so embarrassing but Humans actually CANNOT vaccuum....it hurts our little ears oohh ouch sorry <3

i honestly think one thing gentile non-palestinian leftists need to do urgently is eradicate the idea from your mind that zionism is somehow good for jewish people. we pay lip service to the fact that antizionism isn't antisemitism, that jewish people aren't inherently associated with the state of israel, even that israel doesn't keep jews safe; yet the subtle implication that jews ultimately benefit from zionism creeps into our arguments.

zionism has fostered fundamentalism and pushed jewish communities globally to the right, marginalised and outright erased disaporic cultures, and has contributed to the near-disappearance of entire judaic languages. the zionist project exacerbates antisemitism and then warps discussions of it, encouraging the same dual-loyalty myths and racialised categorisation that were popular in nazi germany. it courts antisemitic christian fundamentalists who fund it because of their apocalyptic beliefs which ultimately involve the annihilation or conversion of all jews, and provides a smokescreen for antisemites who want to push jews from their own countries. and it isolates, incriminates, silences, and arrests the many, many jews who speak out against it.

i don't say this to try and decentre palestinian suffering at this time, hence why this isn't directed at palestinians, but i think it's incredibly important for the integrity of our arguments to recognise unequivocally that zionism is not beneficial to jewish people either.

#I specify non palestinian because whilst I firmly believe the above #i also completely understand watching your family be murdered and thinking well at least #if I was jewish this specific thing wouldn't be happening to me right now #also israel is no more good for the average israeli than the USA for the average American #with all the varieties of racial privilege contained therein #like for the average person it's not really a privilege to live in a settler state lurching into fascism #but I feel like a lot of people are sort of like #you know the whole 'well you don't get to kill people to keep yourself safe' #and while that's TRUE it also feels like amiss to not address it when you aren't even making yourself safe either #anyway I hope it's clear that im saying this not as a whataboutism but pointing out a rhetorical pitfall here #because it's utterly pointless to fall into some argument of 'are jews or palestinians more deserving of safety' #zionism is the answer to neither. case closed. hope that helps

i think c!Martyn is the type of guy to listen to taylor swift breakup songs when he's really sad. Everytime he starts pining over ren again he just puts on one of her albums and stares at the ceiling

#I was gonna specify a specific song but like. Idk I'm not a swiftie #ren posting #inthelittlewood #trafficshipping #treebark #He doesn't do this just when missing ren. He's really sad about anything he starts blasting taylor full volume in his headphones #What the datastream does to a bitch

i got so excited when i saw this shot like 1. its really cool and 2. oh my god he has FANGS. onscreen in a game. hi sonics fangs i havent seen you since 2008. too bad you only appeared for like 2 seconds

#well 2008 was as a werehog in unleashed and he didnt have them during the day in that game so it only half counts #i specify onscreen in a game because a lot of the characters who have sharp teeth only have them Sometimes and only in 2d art #when the 3d models and promotional art for most characters used to have fangs back in the earlier 3d sonic games #but with sonic specifically i think they just straight up stopped giving him fangs entirely sometime in the mid-late 2000s #its sad really. i think little animal guys should all have fangs as a treat #sonic frontiers #sonic frontiers spoilers #sonic frontiers the final horizon #sonic frontiers update 3 #sonic frontiers dlc #sonic spoilers #using more tags on this one than usual because its an extremely spoilery screenshot rather than a textpost #but i think its been long enough for me to be allowed to post screenshots as long as theyre spoiler tagged #for the main game i waited like. a week i think? and its been almost a week... and the dlc story is much shorter than the main game

Everything Under the Moon

Anthology of queer reimaginings of fairytales by mostly Australian authors

various genres, from contemporary to fantasy and sci-fi, mostly about older teens

mlm, sapphic, trans, nonbinary, demi, bi ace, and aromantic characters, some stories focusing on romance but many on familial relationships and siblings

#Everything Under the Moon #aroaessidhe 2024 reads #aromantic books #queer books #A really nice anthology of queer fairytales! definitely a mix of all sorts of stories. #Some were a bit forgettable (I mean I’m just not a short story person) but I really enjoyed others! I #I picked this up specifically because I heard there was an aromantic story (which I didn’t know much else about) and yeah it hit hard actua #it’s about being okay with loneliness and also centred around artists….so. it did make me cry a bit…. #I liked that a lot of them focused on platonic r/ships - most on sibling actually? I appreciate that there were a couple sapphic aces too #I will say while the illustrations are really high quality (I especially liked the naturey ones) I found a lot of them depicted the chars #as very.....disnefied? idk. thin and generic. lacking 'imperfect' features like freckles even #(when they’re described as having them) With a couple exceptions for sure - but a lot of them were a bit samey #I would have loved some authors notes or a list of the stories because I didn’t recognise which all were inspired by #(though they’re on the endpapers; just not specified which) - I did find this in a GR review tho

I don't remember if I ever made a post about this, but for a long time I thought Griffin made up the whole clone pod thing to give Barry an excuse to get his body back again and then eventually also Magnus, and that that was a cool little world building thing. But I found out a while go that no, apparently it's a real spell called Clone from the Player's Handbook. 8th level necromancy wizard spell.

Also, it takes specifically 120 days for a body to form completely, which means that technically, Barry could have popped into his body again since before Petals lol

In the spell description, it also says that you can make the body younger, and I love the fact that he had that option but chose to keep himself the same age anyway

Also, since Magnus first gave Garfield his blood during the interlude before Crystal Kingdom, technically his body would have been ready since around the Eleventh Hour, and Garfield decided to just hold on to it for another few months without doing anything with it lmao

OH SHIT WAIT-

GRIFFIN THOUGHT MAGNUS WAS GOING TO TAKE THE CHALICE AND THAT HE WAS GOING TO DIE DURING THE MISSION TO GET IT BACK FROM HIM

HE SPECIFICALLY MADE IT SO THAT IF HE DID DIE, MAGNUS' BODY WOULD HAVE BEEN READY TO GO THEN TOO

Man I love how that whole arc played out in canon, but I so wish we had gotten to know what would have happened if Magnus did take the Chalice and how that would have played out

#With Magnus' body being ready by TEH though; that also means Garfield requesting his sideburns was him just being a dick lmfao #I also love how it's been about 2 years since I've started listening to this show and have relistened to Balance countless times #and even now I can still find new things to think about it and also read other people's thoughts that I've never considered before #oh; also; I just realized that I didn't clarify how I knew specifically when shit would have happened; but I don't think it's that #important to add to the post #if someone asks; I'll reblog with the answer or maybe just make a whole new post about it; but essentially I figured out the rough timeline #of when all of the arcs happened canonically based on the offhand comments Griffin made about how long it's been between arcs #which; figuring out when Petals happened was a fucking nightmare because he didn't specify how long it had been since Rockport or Midsummer #and I kept missing how long he said it was between Crystal Kingdom and Petals; but I eventually did catch that and figured it out #and gang; it is a *long* stretch of time between Rockport and Petals lol #taz #taz balance #barry bluejeans #magnus burnsides

Hey! Hey you guys, remember the Metal Sonic is Sonic Roboticized theory? What if Metal Tai- *gets shot down*

#metal sonic is sonic roboticized theory #aka what if in whatever dimension or Bad Future. Tails also saw the same fate. #smthing smthing uou can't catch Sonic. you just can't. but you can force him to abide by what you say when you have... leverage #smthing smthing what happened to Sonic was a voluntary choice #and what happened to Tails was the break of a deal. or more specifically. not specifying the terms #smthing smthing 'Just don't hurt Tails' & 'do not kill Tails' taken as. 'whatever you say hedgehog. Tails will not be harmed. or feel pain.' #but at what cost #sonic the hedgehog #sonic #sth #miles tails prower #sonic and tails #metal sonic #metal tails #sonic superstars

I just find it funny that there's mountains of posts whining and crying about atheists being ignorant and misinformed meanwhile the original posters end up spewing some ignorant, misinformed bullshit about atheists or atheism in the same breath.

#atheist #atheism #agnostic atheist #hypocrisy #the majority of you have never actually spoken to atheists or read anything written by atheists and it shows #the term atheist is a broad term that covers a varied demographic of people you ignorant pricks #even when they do specify a specific type of atheist they STILL manage to sound ignorant as fuck

Idea for curing Astarion's vampirism that keeps plaguing my mind so I need to subject you all to it: You manage to find some spell/potion/whatever that can cure/remove vampirism - wonderful! EXCEPT, since vampires are technically undead, upon removing that vampirism, they become simply just...Dead. Bc the vampirism was what was keeping them from just keeling over. SO it becomes a whole two-step process where first you need to cure the vampirism, then you need to find somebody who can cast True Resurrection to bring him back because technically he's been "dead" too long for Revivify to work, and Withers isn't just on house call anymore.

Just. Think of all the hurt/comfort possibilities.

#the specific version of this idea i keep toying with is lunarae studying until she gets access to the wish spell #but if you don't word things EXCEPTIONALLY CAREFULLY with wish it can have Unforseen Consequences #so when she wishes for his vampirism to be cured she didn't specify for him to be ALIVE again necessarily #thus the 'he's cured but dead now' state #cue her immediately bursting down shadowheart's door sobbing like 'SHADOWHEART HELP I FUCKED UP!!' #personal grumblings #bg3 #baldur's gate 3 #astarion ancunin

this is the third time I've seen stuff about male Altmer laying eggs. is this some kind of joke or trend I'm missing out on or what

Based off that one scene in eclipse lake I've decided that willow's favourite human music would be the world's worst fucking ear-bleeding hyper pop.

Hunter sits down to listen to it with her and has to rip the headphones off 4 seconds in because he thinks he's gonna throw up and willows like "omg are you okay?? I'm sorry we can stop listening to it if you need to :((" all concerned and hunter's like "no no it's fine! I just...don't know why you listen to this. Or how" and willows like "it makes my brain itchy :)" and hunter says "THAT'S A GOOD THING??"

#ramblings of a lunatic #the owl house #willow park #hunter toh #hunter noceda #feel free to tag as ship. I'm not bc i want hyper pop willow to reach the widest possible audience #in all fairness i think most of the kids would have pretty eclectic music tastes across the board??? #luz likes songs from anime and k-pop i feel but she also likes the merengue and latin pop music her mom loves and classic rock from her dad #probably also enjoys showtunes? at least the ones that are popular in her demographic (re: teens) #then i think in like. s3 specifically she'd be enjoying a lot of mountain goats and julieta venegas and mm@ta?? #plus lucy dacus i feel #willow also likes lucy dacus (i already made a whole comic abt her liking breakup songs lol) #(LISTEN i just think that when she was little she lacked the vocabulary to express her feelings on the Amity situation- #-and the closest thing she had was angsty breakup songs. hunter shares this problem aftet belos ''dies'' and she gives him her playlist) #she likes mxmtoon and boy genius and some other artists she likes k-pop but overall her fav is wretched hyper-pop #(also i wish i could specify which k-pop groups luz and willow (and gus and Amity btw) would like BUT. I've only listened to blackpink) #(so feel free to weigh in on that) #i think zeno once said that hunter would like slipknot and other metal and metal-adjacent music??? feels right #but i also know he'd enjoy cavetown. yes yes it's basic but it's so him. it's a common hc for a reason #(FUN FACT AVI ROQUE RAINES VA SAID THEY'D LIKE IT TOO. CUTE AS SHIT) #he also likes manny's old rock CDs and even though he doesn't get the lyrics he likes camillas music too #he'd like a lot of orchestral arrangements too and acoustic pieces i think. movie scores and folk songs #gus likes everything i cannot stress this enough. if it is music gus is in love with it. even the weird shit. actually ESPECIALLY that #again. points at the scene from eclipse lake #but also his frame of reference for what's weird is skewed??? mongolian throat singing is more normal to him than Shawn Mendes #he likes carly rae japsen i stand by that from the comic #oh i also forgot to mention this in his section but huntet enjoys phoebe bridgers and the front bottoms #amity likes mitski and phoebe bridgers. she likes kate bush but also like late 90s/early 00s rnb??? #she likes pop punk specifically paramore #i have more thoughts but I'm out of tags lol

which one do you like more: ftm steve or mtf steve? or the special third option oOoOo

The secret third option is that I love femme Steve the most, be it ftm!Steve realising it doesn't make him less of a man to enjoy femininity, nb!Steve finding themselves, or mtf!Steve realising that she doesn't have to be "Steve Harrington" if she doesn't want to, and she doesn't.

I do think that there isn't enough amab representation in any fandom spaces, so while I as a ftm person do love seeing ftm!Steve, it's not my preferred way to go for my own ideas.

#uploxy #my answered letters #steve harrington #i'm trying to remember my own aus but i think steve's eddies is my only ftm!steve one and that's because it wouldn't work otherwise #tbh unless i specify otherwise all my steves should be read as genderqueer #thank you for the question btw! #i feel so awkward using amab/afab/mtf/ftm because that's not how i would want to be talked about. #it's putting too much weight on how my body looks/what it looked like before. which isn't who i am. a person is more than their flesh #with that said i do get how those terms help people. they were helpful to me when i was new to being trans and knew nothing #and they make it easier if you're looking for something specific on a site with a tag system

WHICH SYMBOLIC FRUIT ARE YOU?

Cherry. (Man, this is going to need some tag rambling; because while it's what I suspected and it's very fitting in many ways, I need to address one element).

In popular culture, cherries have come to represent sensuality, sex, and seduction. In the cult classic, Twin Peaks, Audrey Horne expresses her sexual expertise by tying a cherry stem with her tongue. "Cherry" is also used to refer to the concept of virginity: why? I don't know to be honest, but here we are. Much like the cherry, you're a sensual person who enjoys all the creature comforts the world offers. You enjoy delicious food, dynamic relationships, passionate lovemaking and stimulating conversation; however, you may also come across a touch vapid or shallow, due to your quickly fading attention when something has served its usefulness to you. To quote some man on tinder: "you're here for a good time, not a long time". You can come across, at times, slightly tart, carrying a bit of a bite to you that not everyone can handle. That’s okay: you’re an acquired taste!

Tagged: @basbousah (Thank you 🩷) Tagging: I don't tend to tag for quizzes easily but this one was actually fun, so let's harass. @immobiliter (how about Furina?) @kushtibokt @genus83 @genius81 @spiderwarden @delusionaid (Wriothesley, or Zhongli— porque no los dos? 🤭) @apocryphis (Topaz) @aventvrina @resolutepath (Elio) @daybreakrising (Blade) @astrxlfinale @kahakera @cygnor @chasersglow @scrtilegii (Jing Yuan)... and anyone else who'd like to do it, say I tagged you because I'd love to see the results!
