i think young people in fandoms don't realize a lot of times older shippers actively want their ship to be just fanon, NOT canon, almost desperately. why? because sometimes you just know that if it's canon the writers are going to screw everything up.

i can use the teen wolf fandom as an example. regardless of whether you ship them or not, we have stiles and lydia wanting each other for 5 seasons, but when the writers finally decided to get them together in S6 it was... underwhelming, to say the least, because they didn't even do shit with the ship afterwards.

it was literally like 10 minutes screentime of the couple together (and by that I mean they kissed once and held hands like twice and that's it) and then fuck it, let's move on to something else. and the writers cared so little that in the movie they're not even together anymore for the most absurd reason possible.

many shippers don't want their otp ruined by staff mishandling the story. or because they know canon could stray too far from their own interpretation. so they prefer to stay in their happy corner shipping and playing with their fictional dolls and doing whatever they want with them.

maybe for young people it matters a lot if something is canon or not (even if it's just to show superiority or some shit like that) but for many others it's even a relief if their ship doesn't have anything to do with canon.

So what this paint company does is take iron pollution from abandoned mines that are polluting soils and rivers and makes iron based red pigment paints out of it.

Basically they realized hey no one's cleaning this shit up, it's polluting the streams, killing all the fish, making the water undrinkable and there's a huge market for it so why not make money by cleaning it the fuck up?

They remove this stuff by the industrial bucket load from the rivers. The idea is if it's in a painting, if it's in your home, it's not poisoning wildlife.

anyway its cool as shit, please support tf out of these people https://gamblinstore.com/reclaimed-earth-colors-set/

loving this new tiktok trend of 14 year olds thinking 1998 was actually the 1800s

Obsessed with this style of fantasy history and cannot emphasize enough that one of the most memorable candies of 1999 was this abomination of a movie tie-in

my dnd party has run into an npc who may or may not be evil and may or may not decide to betray us and the dm was in chat today like “just so everyone knows…not addressing this comment at anyone in particular…his favorite colors are red and black…wink” so now i’m desperately trying to get a real physical friendship bracelet done before session tomorrow in the vain hope that i can somehow stop this npc from trying to do a murder on my party

UPDATE: the npc was in fact a shapechanged adult black dragon with violence and conquest in his heart. however he did let merry put a friendship bracelet on him and then when she was like “hm okay how big is your wrist in dragon form” he was like “you wanna see?” and then turned into a dragon and let merry measure him for a second, dragon-sized friendship bracelet. the dm described him afterwards as being deeply confused as to why he did this or let any of this happen to him. call that the merry effect

this guy is now a recurring npc because merry was SO determined to make him her friend that it actually somehow worked. he cast dream to talk to one of my party members like “hey…how’s it going…how are the tieflings in the party…not that i care…also i’m not lonely. bye” and the player was like “is he still wearing merry’s friendship bracelet in this dream” and the dm was like “yeah…”

fsdfjhskdf the dm just sent us all this image

so merry taught naeric (the dragon) the power of love, obviously, and because his heart was open and beautiful he started dating…a SECOND evil dragon. and then that gf betrayed him and cast ninth level imprisonment on him so now naeric is our damsel in distress and we have to save him from his girlfriend, the actual villain. how the turntables…

and. in the most horrible plot twist of all. the gf stole his friendship bracelet.

this is reminding me of how sexual dimorphism is cool to me, but im afriad if i try to use it for designing characters, people will call me transphobic or something

I mean all you gotta do is not act like there are two sexes and nothing in between

in evolutionary biology, we see that variation in traits tends to fall into one of two general shapes (obviously I am oversimplifying, humor me): bell curve, and reverse bell curve

some traits are best in an niche if they are in the "middle of the road" (bell curve)

and some are best at either extreme (reverse bell curve)

but theres never NOTHING at the ends or the middle

so we expect to see low levels of variation in that non-ideal space

and we see that with sexual characteristics in every group! humans have a wide variety of less common variation between the two end-peaks of commonly associated traits

IE, the "biosex" of "female" is defined by XX chromosomes AS WELL AS certain hormonal traits, primary sexual characteristics, and secondary sexual characteristics

but tons of people fall in that "middle" space between the two extremes of "male" and "female" and these conditions (aka, variations of hormonal, sexual, or genetic characteristics related to reproductive biology) are what we know as "intersex"

and NONE of these have ANYTHING to do with societal roles, presentation, external appearance, or personal identity

emphasizing that gender is separate from "biosex" which is still a social construct

so having your sexual dimorphism not be FULLY dimorphic, bc that doesn't exist; and having gender roles separate from that dimorphism; and mazal tov! no transphobia or intersexism!

so this fuckin samurai cut me in half a while ago but its like a really long delay so im still just going around doin my thing knowing that i might explode in a shower of blood at any moment

What if she didn’t. What if she missed for the first time in her entire career as a samurai and was too embarrassed to admit it. So much so that she sheathed her blade as regular and just walked away hoping that at some point you would die tragically and appoint that death to her. What if vauge posting was the only outlet she had for self expression.

uhm we desperately need $48 for food & $36 for my bros insulin (whch he is out of) that he MUST take to stay out of an er? URGENT as it's important we need help for this now as we have nothing after paying my 'rent' plus no car/can’t get to food bank or a store. the kids are hungry and i just have no idea what to do, my mental health is at an all time low. a dollar or a penny is a big help or reblogging. send me hate, ill block you.

Here’s my bank/paypal. PLEASE forget the notes as we haven't received any help yet so we still need desperate help now. My brother has to have his insulin as without it, he will end up in the ER, costing us more. With no car, all we can get is grocery delivery mostly. i don’t know what to do now the kids need to eat and keep asking for dinner. We really need food for the kids for the rest of week as well but insulinis most important. Anything is appreciated, it all adds up, as does boosting this, even gift cards, like for pizza or amazon help. If you dont want to/you cant reblog, I understand.

PLEASE please reblog as this is very urgent at this point I don't even care athe eldest gets lunch from school but nothing else and the youngest is disabled and being homeschooled and in kid therapy. Insulin, too, as it's not a want. It's a NEED. please keep reblogging. Thank y'all.

Please boost if possible

I have updated my GFM with info on my situation and the steps I am taking to move. Initially, I quoted $4k to move, but I found a cheaper way to rent a truck :)

Currently, I'm at $1.4k / $3k.

Here's the update I wrote under the cut
