Sun and moon dragons, revamped!
i have felt weird and terrible all day. what is happening
someone take me out back and shoot me like a sick horse
alright well fuck you too. i’m going to escape my pasture at night while you’re asleep and break all my fragile horse bones
you arent in a pasture at night you are locked in a stall in a barn with a blanket on. bitch.
ok well the blankets not so bad. i like the blanket. and the straw and the oats. dickhead.
do u want a sugar cube. do u want to chill and eat some sugar cubes together
this is fucking great things are all looking up for me. a sweet little treat
in junior year of highschool my art teacher would let our ceramics class play music of our choice off of her desktop. we usually used spotify or youtube but she did have one album downloaded on her computer. it was a halloween sound effects/ambience collection. i dont remember why she had it. there was a track on there called "burning screams" which was exactly what it sounds like. just a cacophony of screams alongside crackling fire. she only let us play it on very special occasions, and we would cheer and jump with joy every time. it was like a pizza party to us
TIL a family in Georgia claimed to have passed down a song in an unknown language from the time of their enslavement; scientists identified the song as a genuine West African funeral song in the Mende language that had survived multiple transmissions from mother to daughter over multiple centuries (x)
In 1997 Amelia’s daughter, Mary Moran, and other members of the Moran family were invited to Sierra Leone, West Africa, where they were welcomed in Freetown by Sierra Leone’s President and then flown by helicopter to the country’s interior. There, in the small village of Senehun Ngola, Mary and Bendu Jabati met and sang this song together for the first time. Years earlier, Bendu’s grandmother had told her that this song, which had been passed down in her village from mother to daughter for centuries, would one day reunite her to long-lost relatives.
In addition to finding out where in Africa her ancestors were abducted into slavery, Mary Moran discovered the meaning of the Mende song: a processional hymn for the final farewell to the spirit, it was sung in Senehun Ngola by women as they prepared the body of a loved one for burial.
(The OP's link leads to a site with a recording of the song sung by both Mary Moran and her mother, Amelia)
do any other systems have weird moments where it's not like 'multiple alters are fronting at the same time' but more like 'multiple alters are surfaced enough to contribute thoughts and talk'
There was one of those hyperspecific polls that had an option like “your grandfather told you war stories that he never told anyone else” and now I feel like I have to tell the story about how a spider saved my grandpa’s life in WWII and how my family doesn’t kill spiders because we owe our existence to that One Single Spider
reblog to send your mutuals a hug. maybe just the thought is enough to cheer them up 🥺
its okay if your system is changing
its okay if you dont know where x member went or how long theyll be gone
its okay if most if not all of your members go dormant at once
its okay if youre experiencing 5+ splits a day and/or 5+ fusions a day
its okay if your subsystems are getting fucky and you dont know where the barriers are anymore
its okay if front has been unstable or the people fronting dont even know who they are at all
its okay if your host shifts or you havent had a host in years
its okay if your system structure seemed to completely get turned on its side
take the punches as they come. dont get discouraged. its stressful, itll be stressful, but just remember its YOUR system and you dont have to justify yourself to anyone. itll be okay, even if this lasts for years. i promise you can figure it out, and even if you cant, that you can make peace with the unknown
IT'S FINALLY HERE! The true full size of my "do you love the colour of the sky HD remake director's cut" tumblr post
This ended up being 2 3/4 inches wide by 36 FEET LONG.
The 2 3/4 inch width was chosen because that's the same width as a pretty average phone screen, and I wanted to know how physically far you have to scroll to get past this post.
also dont tell my boss that I got into the art gallery before we opened just to set up this rainbow CVS receipt looking motherfucker. in my defense i literally couldn't find any other location that was long enough to show this off
Please consider subscribing to my Patreon to gain access to my original content a week before its posted on tumblr!
reblogging this because the og post is suddenly getting a bunch of notes and i want everyone to see just how long this motherfucker is in real life
that is impressively long omg
also you all should be so grateful I never reblogged that post because WOW
I love you easy to eat food, I love you subtitles, I love you accessible games, I love you auto-correct, I love you ibuprofen jell, I love you medication, I love you sleeping pills, I love you easy clothes, I love you noise cancelling headphones, I love you weighted blanket, I love you-

They’re also shooting for 100% renewable plastic sources by 2030! All of the soft plant/leaf elements in sets right now and going forward are made out of bioplastic made from sugarcane, and they’re working on getting the regular hard plastic bricks out of that, too.
They’ve done it, actually! The full bricks are in the prototype stage now, and are expected to be 100% biodegradable without the need for a commercial compost facility. It’s very cool. Right now they’re testing the durability and playability of the bricks and seeing what needs to be revised/reworked on their final model.

So its that easy huh
Of course it is
Actually, this isn’t “easy” and is huge news. You see, Lego is absolutely meticulous about their quality control. Their standards for manufacturing are stupidly high, as are their safety requirements. You know that distinctive “click” when you pop two Lego bricks apart? They engineered that. That sound is so distinctive that it can be used to tell genuine Lego bricks from counterfeits and it’s a sound that would be based on shape and material.
Furthermore, one of the hard requirements for a Lego brick is that it must be compatible with any other Lego brick. If I buy a set today and pull a set from the 1980s? Those bricks would fit together perfectly. This requires a huge amount of precision engineering and controls on manufacturing quality. (I can’t remember the source, but I’ve at least heard that once the brick molds wear to a certain point, they’re pulled from the line and either melted down or turned into construction material for Lego HQ. Point being, no one is getting their hands on a worn Lego mold)
Recycled and non-petroleum plastics are different from other plastic. The chemistry is different. The timing and process to use them is different. This has been a reason why more companies haven’t moved to them, because there’s a drop in quality for material (so they claim).
What Lego just did is completely obliterate that argument. The corporation with some of the strictest quality control requirements for plastic just kicked the basic foundation of the “bad quality” argument out from under it, because if they feel confident enough to guarantee the same experience as using a brick from over 40 years ago, if they are confident enough that they can meet their own metrics at a huge industrial scale….
Nobody else has any excuse.
my homunculus just wasted like $60 in ink printing out all these fucking soyjack edits of me. how about 'that feel when i dont feed you for a week' you little asshole
