I'm Kyra and i'm here to reblog stuff i like and sometimes post a 40k mini or two:3 🏳️‍⚧️ she/they im 23 by the way

okay so the logo

theres the standard heraldry with the lion and the unicorn, 'non vacillabimus' translates to 'we will not falter'

but what im curious about right now are these:

Image

the chevrons (these things; ^) are again heraldry stuff, vaguely represent protection/defense

the other symbols are alchemy symbols

the 🜔 is salt and represents the body

the ☿ is mercury and represents the mind

the 🜍 is sulfur and represents the spirit

in alchemy these three symbols are considered tria prima, the three primes of life

you can see other alchemical symbols in the background of the whole logo as well and it is going to be very interesting to see how/if these elements play into the show

One of the hidden D&D rules they didn't put in the books is that the spell Banishment is always guaranteed to work if you remember to say "G'on, now! Git!" as a verbal component when you cast it.

"Um acktually [insert non-firefox browser] is better than Chromium" Actually shut the hell up it's fucking Chromium, it's all fucking Chromium

Opera, Brave, Vivaldi, whatever fucking browser you can name, it's all fucking Chromium, they even fucking put Chromium on the desktop with Electron

Use firefox or a fork of firefox goddamn

I am no longer asking

If any of you Chromium boot-licking chuds try and defend anything Chromium-related I will block on sight

Double goes for the Apple boot-licking chuds who try and talk about Safari

Here's download links to useful and actually up to date firefox forks (and of course vanilla firefox)

The vanilla:

The hardened fork:

Even more hardened fork:

The retro fork:

Use firefox, shut up about Chrome and Chromium, fucking die you stupid fucking Chromium feds

Also here's some useful extensions for when you switch to firefox

It's gonna be long so here's a keep reading button

Feel free to add your own useful extensions but this post is gonna go on for a million years if I keep listing extensions to use

Part 2 coming soon because if the post gets too big, I can't add it

Alright more extensions, part 2

Again, long list, keep reading link, feel free to add on, yada yada

It's all below the cut

This is a manipulation tactic that men use to make it such a pain in the ass to set a boundary with them that you don’t attempt it again

Say “good idea” and keep it pushing

No but really. When anyone does this to me my response is always “well, if you can’t talk to me without talking about X, then yeah, that’s really the only solution.”

When they get defensive about “our friendship/relationship/etc really means so little to you???” Come back with “Ive always thought our relationship was built on more than whether or not I find X funny, but if it isn’t, then we’re not really compatible.”

It sets the boundary while getting across exactly how ridiculous they’re being.

I wouldn’t say that “Men” do this, it’s more just manipulative people. My mom does it, she’d do that thing where you’d tell her she did something wrong and she’d say “well I guess I’m just a bad mom then” it’s guit tripping. It’s not just a man thing.

This was my mom’s FAVORITE.

According to Know Your Meme, on August 18th, 2005, Erwin Beekveld brought forth this work into the world. HAPPY TEN YEAR ANNIVERSARY, THEY’RE TAKING THE HOBBITS TO ISENGARD.

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/

this tiktok screenshot ruined my life i need to see the serbian pigeon movie so so badly but it doesn't exist it's so foul to make this bad of a point with something so cool and then take it away from me.

Tiktok marvel fans really will be out here like "movie fan SHOCKED because i'd rather watch superhero movie #54 in blue and not a sensual 1987 french horror film about a man discovering his wife may not exist set in what is gradually revealed to be a space station" as if you're supposed to agree that superhero movie #54 is the clear winner in this comparison

Love the idea of a story about a complex issue that's told from the perspective of something that cannot comprehend or care about the issue. The way the story would be sliced up and moments that a human would consider pointless would be focused on because the pigeon happened to be there would be hype as fuck

Ok FINE I made the movie poster of it

Mališa, otherwise known as Little One, is a pet pigeon owned by a conservative butler of the Austro-Hungarian aristocracy. She is loved, and she is pampered— until her owner is murdered in cold blood, and she is left to fend for herself in Sarajevo.

In the wilds of the city, she feeds from the poor, working nationalist radicals, and the vieux riches alike.

To Mališa, there are no ethical concerns. No politics. No burgeoning nationalism.

There are only hands that feed her, and hands that do not.

This is compelling. Consider me fucking compelled.

We are in danger of inventing another critically acclaimed cult film bro jerkoff film that doesn't exist....

I would watch this so many times.

The film isn’t actually all in black and white, just mostly. * It starts in color, albeit muted, as it establishes its life in the butler’s care. Soft beige, pinks, blues. The world is conservative and clean, predictable. The film still looks ‘old’ even with these colors. * The first black and white film happens in a jarring sequence that happens in a series of blurs as her cage is covered and tossed into the street. It’s not immediately clear that the film has become black and white; when the curtain lifts, the gray of the street just looks like a filthy city street without color. It’s only when you see the people, completely black and white, that you realize the color is gone. * Seemingly random objects are still in color throughout the film, though. A cufflink here. A napkin there. A wristwatch. Small, often beautiful things that the camera seems to follow for no obvious reason. One of these, she finds in a park near a bush - a doll with a dirty dress. The camera fixates on it for a long time, and she settles near it, nesting in the park.

  • Things slowly get worse and worse throughout the film as the war comes. We get snippets of conversations from old men feeding pigeons, from worried mothers talking about how they're urging their husbands to move while feeding messy kids their sandwiches. Eventually, the same crumbs you came to the park for, humans are coming for as well.
  • At the end of the film, Mališa is picked up and put in home for carrier pigeons. She is loved, fed, groomed, together again, even if different. Then she's shipped off to who knows where, a message is strapped to her leg, and she's let free. She has no idea that the message she's sending is a warning that could save Saravejo.
  • She has no idea why she is shot from the air. All she wants is to fly home.
  • She flies back to the park. She flies back to the doll. Exhausted, bleeding out, she dies.
  • As the camera pans out from the broken body of Mališa, a colored sequence fades in: Mališa's home life before the assassination, and the many little things inside it. One by one, we see the seemingly random colored objects that we saw throughout the film put in their place in her happy memories. The cufflinks of her owner, shining as he reaches for her to scratch her head in the morning. The napkin he held his breakfast rolls in as he fed her crumbs. The wristwatch he looked at every day before he said goodbye for work. The doll his little daughter favored when she came up and cooed at her, who she watched play teaparty. * Cutting back to the present, her body is gray on the concrete ground. We hear the sound of footsteps, and of wings. We never get to see if someone finds the message.

shit yeah

This might be harsh but I think those who equate “good character design” to “character I would fuck” and express outright disgust at designs who dared to fall outside their conventional beauty norms should be trapped in the amulet for a thousand years. minimum

there is, in fact, a "platonic explanation for this" if you're not a coward

its so fun to see the diversity of tags on this ranging from "they're literally just standing next to each other" to "deep bonds dont have to be romantic/sexual!" to "yeah friends can fuck nasty, platonically. coward." we're all so correct, there are, in fact, a million platonic explanations for this
