(guy who is so fatigued) i need to Draw

he is not very good at this

Our queen

this reminds of these kids I used to nanny. the eldest (8 at the time) taught me how to play chess with this set. I remember him going over the pieces and stated that Luigi was the queen and he, no joke, said “because he’s the nicest and you have to protect someone like that” that has always stuck in my head whenever I see Luigi now

man this year is gonna be the year i either die or become someone else i dont know which one maybe both

Everytime i think of the future i nearly throw up

hate to say it but the cow is right

Oh plush cow we're really in it now

I don't know why, but I find it even more comforting to look at it this way:

people are absolutely EVIL about the boundaries of “picky eaters”. no, they do not have to try it. yes, they can know they don’t like it without having eaten it before. no, they probably have not suddenly grown a taste for the food they’ve said they hate. no, they probably are not going to like it in the Special Way This One Place Cooks It. yes, you are being a bad friend if you try to “trick” them into eating it anyway

Things that actually help picky eaters try new things:

And most importantly, build trust with that person by listening to them, showing that you take their concerns into account, and being cool if the answer is no. No is always an option. This isn’t something you do once, it’s a pattern you have to stick to if you want to establish that you are a safe person when it comes to food stuff

Basically: offer the food, explain what’s in it and why you think it’s worth trying, and then be cool with the answer you get. No pressure, no trickery, just be straight up with people

Adding on: sometimes people’s bodies do suddenly change what they’re willing to accept is food. That does not mean their boundaries are suddenly open season or all fake.

Australian backing singer revealed that Eurovision is patting down participants to make sure they don't bring any Palestinian symbols on stage

Not only has Eurovision gone out of their way to defend israel's inclusion, now they're treating all participants like criminals to make sure there isn't any solidarity with Palestine on stage

Learning that most insects cannot see in the dark has me wondering about how the vessels see. I always thought it interesting how Ghost couldn't really see too far ahead of them in areas like Deepnest and some parts of Crystal Peaks, and before I just chalked it up to normal vs Advanced Darkness (advanced darkness ofc meaning the Abyss/the Void, which is a living, elemental darkness vs mere absense of light), but now I'm wondering if maybe they actually really do have pretty damn good eyes compared to normal bugs, who wouldn't be able to see in such conditions at all. What might be poor lighting to them and us might actually be pitch blackness to someone like Quirrel, who'd need to use secondary sense structures to figure out where they were

(I also wonder how Ghost, as a vessel still in their larval form, might compare one like Hollow, who has reached their adult morph, as many larval bugs have very rudimentary sight organs compared to adults [stemmata vs ocelli]. But then again, by the time they reach godhood they might not even need sight at all and use it as a backup sensory input like smell is to us, which is something I actually imagine Hollow's perspective to work. Something to think about!)

i am extremely well-adjusted and mentally healthy as long as nothing goes wrong ever at all even a little bit

I know this is a tiny part of the wider problems born of diet culture, fatphobia, classicism, and racism but like god the idea that "healthy" food must inherently taste bad has completely ruined us as a society.

Every time you feel bad for having coffee with cream and sugar or ranch on your salad or putting extra butter and salt on your veggies I want you to imagine the spirit of John Harvey Kellogg in front of you and then I want you to kill him with a real gun and eat your delicious food in peace.

Ways in which the Pale King's progeny is cursed, other than undeath (as in what could constitute as a curse in the eyes of the king)

- (supposed to) no free will, no mind, no voice: the whole point of the beacon and his kingdom was to grant these things to common bug

- no soul of their own, have to rely on extracting it from living things: the act of extracting soul out of living beings was banned and frowned upon by the king, soul master was opposed because of this, and is likely a big part on the shunning of the snail shamans (soul Eater as a forgotten shaman artifact)

- void nature: complete opposite of the king's existence, a self-contradictory existence

You could argue one more thing but that'll have to wait until I make a whole post about a certain thematic in the game

Curious that I haven't yet seen art of monomon and soul master interacting

Despite fanart of Lurien interacting with both soul master and monomon

And despite the fact that a group of sanctum scholars harnessed the power of charged lumaflies, a subject that monomon was studying at some point

The Wyrm could've chosen any pile of rocks and holes to make his kingdom

Yet his arrival and death was a self fulfilling prophecy

The moths could have ignored him, or the wyrm could have rejected them

Yet they weren't so loyal to their mother

And it is on a wyrm's nature to accept bugs into its thrall

He could've stopped expanding his kingdom at any point, yet the betrayal that doomed it was also the one to birth it
