I have not been on tumblr forever and this is the first comment I read. All I have to say is "no, you."
Life Update
Still Alive!
It’s been awhile, huh? Been busy and slightly overwhelmed with work... Until about two weeks ago. I had an accident at a jump-park. I swear, it only took four minutes for me to royally fuck myself up. I over-jumped and landed on a solid platform instead of the trampoline part. My ankle went one way and my foot went another. I knew instantly that I fucked up. To make a long story short, I dislocated my joint, which was easy enough to fit back in ER and fractured my talus bone... which was less simple.
I am 30 and have never broken a single bone before. I certainly made up for it. This is one bone that you really don’t want to break. I mean, in the unlikely situation where you are given a choice about which bone to break, don’t choose the Talus.(Very short Bone Lesson)The talus, sits below the tibia and fibula and right above the heel bone. It’s surrounded by a thick layer of cartilage because this bone functions as a support (distributing weight equally around the ankle) and an important component to the ankle’s wide range of motion. I just recently found out about how important this small bone is. (End Lesson)
ER didn’t want anything to do with that mess so they put me in a splint and referred me to a specialist. And fuck did that shit hurt (reminder to but language warnings in tags). Could not put it in any position for 2 minutes without crying in frustration. The worst part was, elevating the ankle hurt the most. Doing the one thing that the doctor told me that I needed to do to keep the swelling down and to help regulate pain felt excruciating at best. I received some relief when I went to see the specialist. He took the splint off and found that I was extremely swollen. They had wrapped it too tight and used the scratchy wrap underneath the splint without any cushion. I had also developed fracture blisters from the swollen skin pressed against my injury (for the love of all things good never look up images for fracture blisters). No wonder I was in so much pain.
I needed surgery. I could not wait, but I needed to weight because of the swelling. Talus fractures, if not healed correctly can cause many complications. Some severe consequences could cause me losing the bone all together. The longer I waited for surgery, the more likely the bone won’t heal correctly. Thankfully, it was now easier to take care of my ankle. With most ankle injuries, from sprains to fractures, you are prescribed RICE (Rest, Ice, Compression, and Elevation).
A week later, and nearly two weeks after my injury, I was finally ready for surgery. Of course, I was briefed before the surgery. I understood the procedure (somewhat?), and gone through each pre-op step. I was never ready for the operation, but I was already ready for it to be over. I told myself, as the anesthetist prepared the nerve block for my leg that I would be in the post op bed in two hours. Two hours later was only one nap away. I woke up five hours later.
Ok. The operation took longer than expected. I heard it from my mother, who talked with the doctor, who explained that he did not realize that my fracture was that severe until he saw it with his own eyes. X-rays did not due my ankle justice apparently.
Surgery was two days ago. Post-op pain was harsh after the nerve block wore out. Since then, I have been mostly asleep. I’m only just starting to feel a little more awake and like myself, so I wanted to take the opportunity and summarize all I’ve been through. Looking back, I realized that it really was a lot of crap all piled on at once. Here’s hoping recovery goes a lot more smoothly.

Scooby-doo + Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle Mash-up
Mokona as Scooby Sakura as Shaggy Syaoran as Velma Fai as Freddy Kurogane as Daphne
Do not fight me on this.
@koichama how’s that wip going?
(I like how we’ve all agreed Kurogane’s the person who always ends up in booby traps)
OMG someone else had this silly idea?
I wish I could say that the WIP is going good, but everything Tsubasa is kind of .... dead. *sobs*
Should I just post what I have. Every single role is what I did. Bonus with Yuuko as a related distant relative and Mokona Larg as a cousin of Mokona Soel. Also, Scooby Snacks/Mokona Snacks is booze. XP
If someone who’s never seen the movies / read the comics asks you what Guardians of the Galaxy is, just show them these GIFs without any explanation

Homophobia and Ableism in SU Fandom’s Reaction to Pearl
After I watched the latest Steven Bomb episodes up until “We Need to Talk,” I was ecstatic. The series seems to keep getting better and better, the characters richer, as toxic tropes were continually subverted. I was especially excited about the obviously canon nature of Pearl’s romantic feelings for Rose Quartz. I found Pearl’s micdrop hilarious and the way she grappled with her sacrifices for Rose touching.
So when I logged onto tumblr and saw the fandom spewing hate toward Pearl, even aiming criticism at those who celebrated her feelings for Rose as queer representation, I was shocked and confused.
Other bloggers have pointed out the incongruity of the harsh criticism of Pearl paired with fandom’s affection toward Peridot and Jasper, villains who have sought the annihilation of humans and have harmed and imprisoned characters against their will. Even after Peridot’s horrific experiments on gems, that force them to fuse, the vitriol has primarily been aimed at Pearl, despite the fact it’s completely unwarranted. So why is fandom so harsh toward Pearl? Why are they going so far as to call her abusive, bitchy, a jerk? In my view, some of this vitriol stems from both ableism and homophobia.
I am officially proposing to this post.

Kurogane Week Day 1: Favorite Thing About Kurogane
(his emotional journey and growth, told through the symbolism of the losses and gains of his swords)
You would ask a warrior to give up his blade? Ginryuu is my life!
All my life, I wanted strength, so that no one could ever take away someone precious to me again. However, having power brings calamity at times. And there are some things strength alone cannot protect.
Kurogane's fortitude is amazing. At first I was disappointed that this brute ninja was traveling with Sakura instead of princess Tomoyo. But I was so glad to be wrong as he grew to be much more than first impressions led me to believe.

Finally, Xion!
I have the great artist Benjamin Zhang Bin as my main influence when I was completing this piece. I swear his works are godly and I really look up to him.
Working with (mostly) neon colors did quite hurt my eyes lol, but I loved how it looked! Hopefully y’all love it as well! :’D

Confession: Watching any episode with a fusion more times than I can decently explain. >.>
From Blind Target.
love her hair like thaaat
In a dream last night, you sent me a message saying, “Sorry about the time-travel on tumblr.” I didn’t know what it meant, but I found this post in the morning and was taken back in time, reliving feels... and realizing that if these babies had aged, they would actually now be older than me and I am closer to 30 than 20. O.O

If you polled people on marine life they thought was cute, sea slugs would probably rate somewhere near the bottom if they made the list at all. That’s a shame, though, as the amusingly named nudibranch group is full of vivid color, out-there shapes, and even downright adorableness.
But maybe the sea slug’s image is about to change because the Japanese Net, purveyors of all things cute, have just discovered Jorunna parva, the fluffy little bunnies of the sea. The Japanese name for Jorunna parva is gomafu biroodo umiushi, which loosely translates to black speckled velvet sea slug.
And if you think those pictures of the Pacific sea slug are cute, check out the little fluff-ball in very slow action, captured on film by a diver off Shizuoka Prefecture.

Ok but are we gonna talk how this Titan called Ilse Langnar Ymir-sama and then bowed to her?
the titan bowed down as if Ilse was a person of high authority.
So what I’m saying is what if Ymir is like some royal person or person of really high authority when it comes to titans?
and you know what that would mean?
