This post is mainly here as a tumblr mobile tag search that works.
There’s not really much you need to know about me and this blog it is a personal one with no particular bent. If you want something tagged, I’ll take it under advisement.
I have had a tumblr for a very very long time and I barely recognize some of the people I’ve been.

I think I just ruined some poor twenty somethings night by telling them that if they’re going to make a bald joke they have to at least be funny
A great way to not dwell on things you said to strangers is to not make (cheap predictable boring) appearance based puns to strangers
Could I have been nicer? Sure
But I wasn’t

DS9: What if we had a villain, and he was charismatic, interesting, entertaining even, a man who’s affable and charming and like he’s someone you could almost like but he was a genocidal fascist
DS9: What if he started down a road to redemption and then
DS9: What if we don’t redeem him, what if the point is a man can be all of those good things but he’s still a racist, fascist murderer and doesn’t deserve to be redeemed because at his core he’s an evil, evil man and his narrative reward is defeat and death at the hands of the black man who represents the bridge between men and gods
DS9: Meet Gul Dukat
You know what I love about Dukat? Every single “redeeming” quality about him is nothing of the sort. He genuinely loves his daughter, he occasionally works with the Federation, he’s polite….and none of these traits are actually redemptive because they have nothing to do with what he actually did wrong. There is no moment where he acknowledges in any meaningful way that what he did was evil or works towards undoing it. The show psyches you out by presenting him as human, as personable, as even charming….but it never actually has Dukat wanting or doing anything resembling redemption.
And honestly, given how many narratives treat a villain having feelings as inherently redemptive even if they do nothing to actually make up for their actions, that’s a breath of fresh air.
Have to constantly remind myself I can’t hate myself into a version I love
Augh

These were for a Fate campaign way back when. It was The Bachelor. It was so charming. It is so delightful to redraw things!!
Can you tell me more about mavka and what her deal is? She reminds me of Scandinavian huldra from thr little I've heard and I'd love to learn more about her!:D
hello friend. a mavka, navka or nyavka is an undead forest spirit, one of type which ukrainians call the covered dead (заложні мерці) — spirits of people that died of unclean, improper death, and therefore couldn't finish the transition and weren't allowed to the orherworld. the name covered undead comes from the fact that in old times they weren't properly buried, and were left in forests covered by leaves and twigs.
generally mavky are envisioned as beautiful girls, although in some regions there are beliefs about male mavky (sometimes called didky). mavka looks perfectly human except for the fact that their backs lack skin and muscle, exposing their innards and spine. they aren't malicious, but are obliviously playful and can hurt people during their plays — tickle or dance you to death, drown, ward you off your tray. in some western regions it's also believed that time goes faster when encountering them — what is felt like several hours could actually be several hundred years.
navky live in forests and mountain caves, and they like to dance, weave, play and prank wanderers, especially young men. to ward off mavky valeriana, garlic and wormwood are used, as well as wearing your shirt inside out. like most undead spirits in ukrainian mythology, navky are most active during the green festival/rusalka week.
there is a ukrainian holiday called navsky velykden, or undead easter, celebrated at the first thursday after easter. in this day all mavky, rusalky, upyri and all the other unclean forces celebrate easter. at night during the holiday it was prohibited to visit churches, since celebrating undead could dismember you if spotted.

Just mention that you’re critical of your interests in your bio so you won’t be called out for your media interests.
it's kind of awesome how little attempts y'all make at getting literally any context whatsoever before sending me asks, how do u care so much and yet so little at the same time
like just so we're clear im being called out for the alleged media interests of mutuals i dont have, not for anything i'm doing and also i don't care and your understanding of media criticism and analysis is laughable at best
i caved and have updated my bio now, hopefully this is more to everyone's liking 🥰

to survive on tumblr you must either; not go to the club, experience long term celibacy (wanted or unwanted) or be unemployed.
