I KNOW THIS
by the point of becoming empress, luz has been through enough that she's intensely mistrustful of and stressed out by everyone who Isn't hunter, like. it's going to take her a significant amount of time to stop seeing belos around every corner & stop modulating her own behavior based around what belos would approve of. she has plenty of reason to firmly believe that everyone she speaks with has an agenda and that she can't ever really Be Herself or show vulnerability to anyone
but at the same time.
she is So Fucking Stressed Out.
i cannot shake the mental image of luz like. doing her best to be kinda cold and aloof and hold people at arm's length and not give too much of her own hand away, bc she's gotta be super self-aware and in control of everything at all times. and then one day raine asks, with all of the genuine concern and care in the world, "hey, are you...... okay??" and the poor fucking kid just. DISSOLVES IMMEDIATELY.
continuing to think about darius raine and eber going into princess/empress luz's mindscape to see what she's up to (and so darius can make sure hunter isn't in danger even though he'd NEVER admit it aloud) it's fucking HAUNTING me it's so good. it's so good!! anon's gettin' me got by making me think about my favorite disaster adults contending with the various horrors in this AU
i jst. god i cannot stop thinking about it . GOD
darius: okay. this girl is belos 2.0 and wants to own/destroy the world and has no qualms about hurting people to get what she wants. we have to move very cautiously. her inner self is likely extremely manipulative and dangerous and snakelike
inner luz, immediately: [pacing around in circles] [mumbling to herself] [anxiously flapping/rocking] [on the verge of tears] stupid stupid stupid you're just belos 2.0 what if you don't care about hurting people you're going to hurt hunter you're going to hurt everyone you can't do anything right you stupid idiot you'll never get rid of the empire if you can't get it together why can't you just stop being like this stupid STUPID
darius: ........hm.
raine: right. so. darius. about how i'm adopting this child,
polycule and I are discussing what various TOH characters would answer if asked the trolley problem (not what they would DO, what they would say)
alador is like. well abominations move faster than trolleys in my experience. gus goes no no no this is a classic human thought experiment. the idea is to present a scenario that isn’t real— Alador is like right, like imagining. I’d use abominations to scoop everyone out of there!
Gus: [pinching the bridge of his nose] imagine you didn’t HAVE abominations
Alador: [bodily flinches] [glances around himself] I don’t like that
Willow, trying to be helpful: think of it more like this. should Gus pull the lever?
Alador: [glances at Gus]
Gus: [looks away. I’m not helping you on this one]
Alador: you kids usually figure out the best solution
Willow: okay, let's try a new tack. imagine you’re the general of an army—
[Alador at this point starts looking a little pale]

This is the standard winged nightjar and it has one singular stupidly big feather on each wing... if you even care.
Love this guy
That’s standard as in “pennant” or “banner”, not standard as in “normal”.
But it’s not a pennant-winged nightjar. THIS is a pennant-winged nightjar… if you even care.
can’t forget the Lyre-tailed Nightjar! there’s actually a number of these ridiculous guys, and they’re partly why caprimulgiforms are some of my favorite birds
also the Sickle-winged Nightjar, which is. come on, that’s just a weird moth
Everyone does care about nightjars 🥹
terfs be like. i am going to tell you how to spot a trans woman. okay so if you think a woman is ugly you should harass them. this is beneficial to women
this isn’t all that there is!!! there are sunsets you haven’t seen, people you haven’t met, things you haven’t learned, food you haven’t tried, and places you haven’t visited. life is so much more than what you’re experiencing right now, and there will always be new things coming. there’s so much more out there for you!!
Okay, so the way I understand it, is that you imagine there is a ghost inside your computer. This ghost has a halo and wings and everything. This ghost is a little bit like an angel, but you don’t really know if it’s good or bad. This ghost exists inside the computer, but does not affect the computer’s programming, other than it does affect the computer’s lighting in a certain way.
Hey btw I saw a video a while back where someone was filming a guy through his window in his own house to make fun of him so I decided to report it to Twitter, writing to them about how it’s illegal to record people in their own houses without consent (in America) and they actually took down the post despite it having more than 100k likes so basically point is: if you see someone being an asshole and posting people without their consent, report that shit for exposing private information, write a note about how it violates laws (in the u.s. it is illegal to record people where they have the expectation of privacy, (their own home, a bathroom, a changing room) laws on filming in public vary from state to state so look up your local laws) and if the content posted features you, threaten to sue them even if you know you don’t have the means to sue. scare social media sites into not allowing people to record others without their consent
A little excerpt from my new foraging zine that a lot of people seem to be resonating with. My favorite part of any foraging book is always getting to talk about why I find the practice so meaningful 🌸💕
Anonymous asked:
Pee in a cup and leave it outside near ants - if they avoid it's probably not diabetes, if they seem interested, you might have sugar in your pee and should get checked out
what the fuck is this 1200’s medical science 101
As a specimen processor who checks body fluids for a living I can confirm this is a real, vaguely accurate ancient way of checking for diabetes that dates back at least to Pliny the Elder
no i know it’s real but this isn’t the middle ages I can literally go to the UC or ER if i need to?? why would i resort back to this
actually nvm the American healthcare system is absolutely too expensive you’re right
There was a young man from Peru
Whose limericks stopped at line two
There once was a man from Verdun
A kofi gave me free reign to redraw a scene from TOH and I've been thinking about this since we found out King's dad has been watching and loving him this whole time - I'm 100% sure he said hi back 🥺
