Sa’s Reviews And Other Stuff

@sasreviewsandotherstuff

This is where I post random things like what I like, book review and just a lot of random stuff. ( i lied i haven't posted a book review since i started this) ( not my header image)

D...Day 3 of drawing Matt's teen facts TvT this got out of hand

S2E3: Link's favorite class was P.E. aka Personal Entertainment which he did whenever Grant had to do taxes, run errands...or whatever else it was that dads did!

(Yes, Grant and Marco taught Lincoln little tunes to their numbers in case he ever got lost and had to use a stranger's phone to call them.)

Some things about Allan:

  • He’s the only one who reacts to the narrator
  • He’s the only doll (besides the Weird House) who isn’t swayed in some way by Ken’s takeover
  • He also declares himself as “Ken’s buddy" (making canon his official box description) which makes his inability to be swayed more interesting
  • He has bendable legs (probably the only reason he tries to jump the fence instead of going around like everyone else)
  • He easily decked a half-dozen construction Kens and could probably singlehandedly win the Ken fight
  • He seems to know more about the real world than most Barbies
  • He knows what NSYNC is 
  • He knows about other Allan copies living in the real world (I’m trying to figure out if he made this up to convince the humans he can live in the real world, but even if he did, how does he know what NSYNC is???)
  • There are no other Allan models

a little more information regarding the maui wildfires:

  • medical workers on the ground are describing finding hundreds of bodies. the current death toll in the media is, unfortunately, only a fraction of the reality
  • hospital workers are describing injuries and trauma as if survivors had come out of a warzone
  • thousands are still missing
  • an apartment complex for the elderly was lost. not everyone could get out. people were saying goodbye to loved ones over the phone
  • people who did get out of lahaina were leaving with ashes covering their faces and nothing but the clothes on their backs. people are losing everything.

hotels are still operating. hotels are still operating. they are not the ones offering shelters or housing or food. even bowling alleys are offering shelter, but hotels have the audacity to build on burial sites but not open their doors to local families who have lost everything.

Hey if you work for a major company that you fucking hate, but they also have a Diversity, Inclusion, Culture Department… check if they offer donation matching.

Your $10 donation can turn into $20

Your $50 donation can turn into $100

I completely forgot until an org put it at the bottom.

i don’t think people realize how much of modern life we owe to ball bearings everyone say thank you ball bearings

literally what can’t she do

this came across kinda jokey but like genuinely so much of the things we can do today are thanks to ball bearings and i hope whoever invented them got mad pussy and excellent head for the rest of their life

EVERYONE SAY THANK YOU TO PHILIP VAUGHAN AND THE WELSH

magic system where “dark magic” and “light magic” are literal terms - dark magic consumes photons, making an area around the spell visibly darker, sometimes to an Extreme extent, and light magic releases photons.

because of this most dark mages tend to work in very brightly-lit areas (either artificial light or outside in the daytime) to fuel their spells and wear and use lightly coloured clothes and tools so that they’re easier to see in the dimness their spells create, whereas light mages wear heavy, sometimes leaden robes (depending on the work being done) and the magical equivalent of welding masks to protect themselves from what can be an extreme amount of light, and sometimes other kinds of electromagnet radiation!

needless to say this is incredibly confusing for anyone unfamiliar with the culture

due to the fact that both magics react with basically all of the electromagnetic spectrum - not just the visible light part of it - dark magic is enormously useful for radiation protection (uv-eating spellwork as sunscreen, anyone?), but also has the slightly uncomfortable effect of eating infared as well - which does have the effect of making areas around powerful or prolonged dark magic uncomfortably chilly.

nothing that a nice fur coat or enchanted light-magic IR-emitting lamps can't fix!

okay this is some truly genius world-building

i am so tired of ppl not watching the video and rbing with their ignorant opinions going on abt “dress for your body type” and shit like…. that’s not the point. the point is that almost everything deemed trendy and attractive is awarded these qualities BECAUSE they are worn by tall, skinny and usually white bodies.

if y’all had bothered to watch the video, you would’ve seen the comparison between gigi hadid wearing denim shorts and a regular ass shirt and a normal fat woman wearing the exact same fit, and how drastic the reception was for the latter. it’s the exact same outfit, nothing revolutionary or new, i can’t even call it fashion—denim shorts and a t-shirt. yet the fat woman was mocked relentlessly online and said she looked like a racist, while miss hadid was praised for being a trendsetter and a fashion icon.

and not for nothing but y’all have to shut the fuck up abt dressing for body types. it’s bullshit. women should be able to wear whatever the fuck we desire without needing others’ approval for whether or not our bodies are attractive enough for you to let us get out of the house or post pictures online. the most important thing is that YOU like what you’re wearing and YOU feel confident and comfortable in your outfits and your expression of yourself. wear a long skirt “even if” you’re short. wear 6 inch heels “even if” you’re 6 feet tall. wear crop tops and hot shorts and backless dresses “even if” you’re fat. cover up and take off whatever you want as long as you like what you’re wearing.
