the day after I posted this last time I was notified that I was selected for a really cool mentorship gig and got an unrelated glowing review at work

Reblog if you think public libraries are important and should be maintained.

$50,000 immediately dropped into my bank account wouldn't improve EVERYTHING but boy it sure would be a grand, sexy little start to a good, happy life path, don't you think

Reblog for unexpected $$$ dropping into your Bank account.

Down the other end of the garden for this one! It's VERY fun when it works, but it doesn't always go how it does in the films!

Now that introduction week has ended, my understanding of @nentofus OC-tober is that from now on we use exclusively these OCs for the rest of the promps? So

Day 8: extra apendages! (Either it be eyes, limbs, etc)

Well the good news is that Peebles's species have a unique tail that spits right in the middle at the start of adolescence, and keeps separating until they have 2 tails, their mark of adulthood.

Like so:

It helps them make sharp turns when running

Have a happy Peebles and a random adult:

Tho, if we're talking about More apendages...

If you notice it, Reily has 8 eyes and 3 tongues! (cortesy of zir tri-parted mouth)

Day 9: new outfit!

I chose Satic for this promp, they were looking at me very eagerly in my brain

I drew two new outfits, because this promp was honestly so fun? I rarely draw clothes or use references at all (plus i had lots of time today) and i looved the result?!

I also tried to make the poses similar to better showcase the clothes.

Here he is!

Day 10: Gloves or socks

Honestly as soon as i read this promp my mind went straight to that video of Fundi poorly building a chair in a maid costume, particularly the moment he calls Philza and he notices the gloves..

The Síoppse trio would act pretty much equally to Pel in the same cenario 😆 they would Not stop laughing at their embarassement

(Pel=fundi, Jirab=phil, Pel=ranboo)

Day 11: swimsuits!

Just a good ol' beach episode for this one

Sandra's legs ended up too skinny and reily's too small but heh ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

Vegans of tumblr, listen up. Harvesting agave in the quantities required so you dont have to eat honey is killing mexican long-nosed bats. They feed off the nectar and pollinate the plants. They need the agave. You want to help the environment? Go back to honey. Your liver and thyroid will thank you, as well. Agave is 90% fructose, which can cause a host of issues. Bye.

So let me get this straight ,vegans should stop eating the food of the Mexcian long-nosed bats, because the bats need it, and instead vegans should instead eat honey, the food of bees, that their larvae need, even though the bee populations are facing ecological issues as it stands.  10/10 post, dude.

Did you forget the whole part where only excess is taken and all their needs are met and then some orrrr?

Like, did you read it orrrrr?

Anyway, BUY HONEY SAVE BEES

It is a 10/10 post. Because OP is right.

Bees do not suffer when beekeepers take their honey, because experienced beekeepers do not take all of their honey, in fact, they leave plenty of honey left for the bees to consume over the winter. If we do not collect their honey, 1 of two things will happen.

1. they will leave for a bigger home. Which at first seems fine until you remember that bees are dying very quickly out in the wild.

or

2. They will start using the areas that they reserve for their young as a place to make more honey. This is bad because if no more young are being produced, then the hive will start to die out because no new workers are coming into the world, and the average live only 150 days, so it would also mean the loss of more bees.

So yeah, eating honey isn’t inhumane at all. In fact, you’re helping the bees by eating what they produce and giving money to the bee keepers who are the ones making sure that the hive will keep being healthy.

LOUDER FOR THE VEGANS IN THE BACK: use honey, not agave! Bees need your support and other animals need agave! Using honey means more bees!!

Other animal products that are absolutely fine to use because they produce it in excess:

- Wool. Sheep need to be sheared or their wool will get excessively large, matted and gross. Its legit just a haircut. Calm down and use wool instead of whatever fake acrylic microplastic shit they have in stores now. Wool is super warm, insulating, and guess what! It grows back! Its a renewable resource and all the sheep want in return is some good pasture and protection from predators.

- Eggs. I’m not talking about storebought eggs. Go to your local farmer’s market. Find someone around with chickens/ducks. These birds produce eggs literally every day and will not stop unless they are molting, brooding, or kept in the dark for most of the day. Like I am not joking when I say you can very easily find someone with poultry and they will beg you to take some eggs. Theres so many. Please. Take some duck eggs. I dont want them. I had 8 laying ducks last year. Thats 8 eggs every day. Thats 2 dozen eggs every THREE DAYS. Thats SO MANY EGGS PLEASE TAKE SOME EGGS

Reducing animal cruelty does not mean abolish the use of animal products. Go eat honey. Go use wool. Go find a friend with birds and eat eggs, or get your own. Just because it comes from an animal does not make it cruel.

We need everyone's help right now to protect the rainforest and Indigenous People

The Amazon Rainforest is under a massive threat. I know you've heard this a million times, but this is different. There is a piece of legislation that will decimate the rights of Indigenous people of Brazil, who have been protecting the rainforest. It's unfathomably bad. It has majority support. And they're voting tomorrow. As reported here, the Bill allows "the Brazilian government to find energy resources, set up military bases, develop strategic roads, and implement commercial agriculture on protected Indigenous tribal lands, without any prior discussion with the affected peoples."

The thing you can do—and I know this sounds overly simple—is sign this petition—and tell your friends to do the same: SIGN HERE.

As reported here, the Bill allows "the Brazilian government to find energy resources, set up military bases, develop strategic roads, and implement commercial agriculture on protected Indigenous tribal lands, without any prior discussion with the affected peoples."

Again, this bill has majority support. You may be wondering, why will a petition signed by people who don't live in Brazil make any difference? Because it will give those opposing it political air cover. It will show the world is with them.

But we need a LOT of signatures.

Please do this simple act and spread the word.

fun with the safety sign generator

Nothing really expresses the therapeutic power of cleaning like a Studio Ghibli film.

I just finished watching From Up On Poppy Hill, and I absolutely loved a lot of it, but like at the same time, I was not expecting that plot twist halfway through, if you haven't watched it yet, go watch it before you read this, cause I don't want to spoil it (I watched it on HBO Max like I watch all my Studio Ghibli)

Ok, now that only people who have watched or people who have been fully warned about spoilers are here, can we please talk about this movie. I need to talk about this (also if anyone wants to talk about Howl's moving castle, my neighbor Totoro, or Kiki's delivery service, I'd be down for that too, I just love studio Ghibli, the art, the peace of mind and calmness it brings, the characters, the plot, I just want to talk to people about this).

But anyway, back to From Up On Poppy Hill. Like it started out normal, I was watching like "oh Umi is given a lot of responsibility due to her mom leaving, is this going to cause tension later on (which didn't and I was way off with this part)"

and "Oh, Umi ran up to this boy who jumped into the lake, and she walked away embarrassed and angry while Shun is obviously infatuated, like most dynamics in these stories do"

and "Oh, they are trying to save the building, how will they do it" before them all banning together to give the house a makeover, frankly adorable, I loved all those scenes

and then this movie took a fuckin' 180 like

"oh, they can't be together cause they might be secret siblings, but they are still in love"

And like, I just audibly gasped, like "how could they just... What?" And like yeah, we find out in the end they aren't siblings, Umi's dad just like legally adopted Shun after Shun's parents died so Shun wouldn't go to an orphanage, before once again giving Shun away to friends when they couldn't provide for Shun, and they don't stop developing the relationship (not necessarily romantic relationship) throughout the siblings thing, and they make sure to say that they definitely can't be together and nothing romantic can happen if they are siblings, but they did have mutual feelings of romance before they found out, and it will be hard to just stop those feelings, and then just like that one scene where Umi is just like I love you, and I know we can never be together but that doesn't stop me from loving you and Shun is like same

it is kinda awkward, but kinda necessary to the storytelling to say we may be brother and sister, but that is hard to see you that way. They get it all cleared away and find out they are in no way related but this whole thing being so unexpected, it just hit me like a brick wall and I was analyzing why, and I think it was that they let you get emotionally invested before they bring this blow and so it hits different, and yeah, it had no major lasting effects on the story, but I just need to talk about this cause it just like gave me whiplash and I'm still like "what was that" and "why was I just sitting here hoping deep down they would reverse the siblings thing (which they did); if they are even questioning if they are related, I should not be rooting for this" and then I look back on it, and I realize that I was rooting for it because other than the sibling thing, this was a good relationship, they talked and they helped each other, they were healthier than most couples we see in media and there were just so many sweet little moments like this:

And so many more that I couldn't fit (cause 10 gif minimum), like all of these plus all the times they just walk and talk, when they ride Shun's bike down the hill, etc.

And just like, it was great storytelling to all of a sudden have this conflict because we found out like they did, and it makes the watcher go through the same things the characters do, because when we saw the relationship one way, it was hard to shift that, and so even though not a lot of us can relate (pun intended, deal with it), we still felt that emotional toll and that is what a really good story can do, make you sympathize without being able to really relate and it makes you look at a new perspective without actually encouraging the taboo, and it was just great storytelling-wise. One of the main reasons I see it as okay to ship Shun and Umi is because for me at least, I could not see them as brother and sister, and that was the point with the whole "we won't even foreshadow this before we expose this as a possibility", one thing they did was establish a different relationship between them, so when they told us brother and sister, it didn't process well and it was hard to shift over because the point was that once you know something, it is hard to do a complete 180. It didn't feel like shipping brother and sister because unlike shows like The Fosters, we didn't know they were brother and sister before they fell for one another, and by then, I feel like we all already knew they were probably going to take it back, and so the reason why this was such an interesting thing to analyze is the very nature of why they would throw this in and what effect it had by the placement of where it was in the film. Anyway, it just is clouding my thoughts and I wanna talk about this with someone cause I like analyzing shows and I wanna hear others thoughts on this part of the story or any other part of From Up On Poppy Hill you want to talk about

THIS! this is so true

Watching From Up On Poppy Hill is just a huge rollercoaster of emotions.

First I'm enjoying the slice of life and the budding CANON romance between the two main characters. Then they're SIBLINGS and I'm questioning my entire enjoyment of the first third. BUT THEN it's revealed that they're not siblings so now I'm overjoyed but also incredibly confused as to how to feel about the movie as a whole.

One thing I know for sure is that Mizunuma is easily one of the best Ghibli boys. Dude just keeps rolling nat 20s in charisma with everyone he meets and that's impressive af.

Shirou Mizunuma made the movie for me

Me before watching a Ghibli movie: Woe is me. 

Me after watching a Ghibli movie: My skin has cleared. My crops are growing. My grades are up. The sun is shining. Life could not be any better than it is now. I WILL TAKE ON THE WORLD.

reblog and make a wish! this was removed from tumbrl due to “violating one or more of Tumblr’s Community Guidelines”, but since my wish came true the first time, I’m putting it back. :)

are men okay?

NO

my husband told me, after many years of being together, that when he was about 7 a teacher used to single him out for being disrespectful at school. Apparently his disrespectful offense was “smirking” too much???? So he got punished for smiling???? And eventually just trained himself to stop smiling so this teacher would leave him alone???? And that’s why he has such a stoic facial expression now and can’t smile for photographs.

I had to.....privately cry after hearing that one

Wow

It’s the only way men are able to discuss their issues because society taught them that they shouldn’t burden people with their issues or that their issues are meaningless or that their issues aren’t actually a thing. Sharing anecdotes with friends is one way of talking about it, because they feel comfortable enough to share. At the same time, they might just not know that the event was traumatic because it’s trauma y’all.

im-

Take this to be your reminder that men experience trauma too and need a safe space to talk about it. Be that safe space for your friends who are men

Sometimes you have to tell a man “so you were assaulted” and they say “it’s not a big deal I told that story a million times everyone always laughs” and you just have to give him 15 minutes or maybe an hour until he comes back and says “hey I think you might be right”

... You're all chumps. This is a manipulation tactic. Quit falling for it.

There's a time and place to share a traumatic story with a friend.

Men are not fragile naive Tarzan babies oblivious to social conventions. They want you to believe that they are so you'll put up with them trampling your boundaries.

Men fully understand there's a right time and a wrong time to bring up a traumatic topic. They confront people with shocking stories at the wrong time on purpose.

She is right about one thing though. While you spiral trying to navigate his untimely declarations, he's giving off a Beach Boys vibe. He's giving off that Beach Boys vibe because he won. He made you uncomfortable. He mad you lose your train of thought. He's making you feel sorry for him. He's in total control and you're completely lost in the situation he created.

Wise up. Quit rewarding this behavior. Immediately point out to him what he's doing. "That came out of nowhere. Why are you telling me this right now?"

Yo what the actual fuck is wrong with you

i think some of y’all forget that men are human fucking beings not evil monsters whose every single action and motive is to hurt you specifically. like i’m sorry but what kind of egotistical fuckwad do u have to be to hear that another human being experienced a trauma and have your immediate response be “actually he’s trying to manipulate u bc he’s evil and doesn’t deserve any sympathy.” y’all are the same people who try to convince people that CHILDREN are trying to manipulate their parents when they cry.

...I also want to add:

Traumatized people very often have no idea what is or isn't appropriate in conversation, especially if we were raised in isolated environments and had that trauma normalized.

Additionally, neurodivergent people (especially autistic people) struggle with social conventions *a lot* and very frequently can't suss out the unspoken social boundaries most take for granted.

All this combined means that like, no, traumatized men *don't* realize that story is inappropriate. I lived most of my life as a woman and lived most of my life fully believing I was a woman.

And I did this *all the time* because I was raised by abusive parents who had abusive parents. I had no idea 90% of what happened to me growing up was weird or fucked up because I thought that was like, just how everyone's family is.

Like Jesus fucking Christ, men can be traumatized. And trauma makes it hard for you to know what's "normal". The fact that they're sharing these things like a totally normal anecdote is, in fact (in my opinion), evidence that they've been subjected to a LOT of trauma and just decided it was totally normal...

Cis woman chiming in here. When I first went off to college and was living with roomates, I didn’t know that some of my stories about my childhood were #fuckedup. I didn’t realize it until one day one of them, after a particular tame anecdote about my dad, told me that she was always worried when ever I talked about him. I didn’t grow up with friends, and I mostly interacted with my family who all came from far worse than I did, so in my mind, the stuff that happened to me didn’t even register on the fuck-o-meter. Can fucked in stories be a manipulation tactic, yup. My dad has done that on many occasions, but that doesn’t mean that everyone who brings up something traumatic as a funny anecdote is trying to manipulate. Sometimes, we really don’t know.
