I love the fact that Sombra can’t hack Junkrat’s RIP-Tire, because I can just see a very blown up and smoking Reaper stalking about Sombra and yelling at her about not stopping it, isn’t that what they have her for? To keep the technology from literally blowing up in their faces??

And Sombra’s just as annoyed and she’s yelling back about how the thing is not “technology”, it’s basically made out of gunpowder, paperclips, and rubber bands.  “I can’t hack paperclips, Gabe!  I’m pretty sure it’s held together with dirt and snot!  You think that thing has a wifi connection???”  Honestly, I imagine that about 90% of Junkrat and his arsenal annoy Sombra because “this isn’t a weapon this is the physical manifestation of a mistake” but it’s so low-tech it’s not even a mistake she can exploit.

Like Junkrat finding out that Sombra got herself implanted “upgrades” and Rat’s just like “yeah, yeah, same”.  And Sombra staaares at Junkrat’s crude arm and peg-fucking-leg in comparison to her sleek cybernetics and is mortally offended.

We caught this beautiful Rufous fantail on one of our trips to Papua New Guinea 🇬🇳 They are mostly found on tiny little islands throughout the region. #ornithology #research #papuanewguinea #png #birds #rufousfantail #inspiration #reference #tiffanybozic #island (at Papua New Guinea)

A tradition

In peacetime, the ruler grows their hair long. In war, they cut it short. A ruler with long hair is held in great esteem, for defending the peace. The traditional declaration of war is for the ruler to send their cut-off hair to the enemy ruler. The statement carries greater weight the longer the hair: to receive long hair says that you have angered one who is slow to anger, that you have incurred a wrath not easily woken.

Violent war-mongering leader frantically and aggressively tries to shave just a LITTLE hair off the top of their head into an envelope.

A faraway king receives a heavy wooden crate filled with a coil of the longest hair he has ever seen.

A despised ruler finds hundreds of pounds of cut-off ponytails at her castle entrance, each one belonging to her own people. 

A young emperor refuses to cut their hair and insists on trying to make peace with invaders. The enemy leader steps forward, draws their blade, and cuts the emperor’s hair themselves.

Hellen cuts her hair off and throws it in Cathy’s face at her son’s soccer scrimmage.

From Neill Cameron’s Twitter:

  • I was working recently with a bunch of kids who kept tearing up their own drawings in frustration, so I did something I’ve not done before.
  • I talked honestly to a classroom full of children about how much I hate my own drawing.
  • Okay, not the full extent. These kids ain’t ready to hear that. But that I do.
  • They were kind of appalled, and horrified and fascinated, but anyway, they stopped tearing up their drawings.
  • As I attempted to explain it — and many of you reading this will know already — when you make a drawing, there are two versions of it.
  • There’s the version that exists in your head, and then there’s the version that ends up on paper.
  • And because you can see both versions, you can’t help but compare them, and feel frustrated by the difference.
  • But here’s the thing, and I think it’s easy to forget this: no-one else can see that first version.
  • They can’t judge against it. They can only see, and judge, the version that exists on paper.
  • And you know what, this sounds crazy, but they might actually like it for what it is. They might think it’s cool that you made it.
  • I mean, holy god, if you guys could see the version of Mega Robo Bros that exists in my head.
  • Your eyeballs would melt and your heart be burned away by sheer divine fire of amazingness.
  • But the differences between that version and what’s on the page are only visible to me, and shouldn’t — can’t — matter to anyone else.
  • If a draing goes a bit wrong, ah well. Look at it, learn, try and make the next one better.
  • Or, possibly even better: abandon false objective notions of quality altogether and just enjoy the process, the activity, of making a thing.
  • Not quite how I phrased it to the Year5s, but hopefully you get the idea.
  • IN SUMMARY: be kinder to your drawings, and yourselves. I know, it’s hard. But try.

(Though this was written by a visual artist, the advice is applicable across creative disciplines – be kind to yourselves and to your stories!)

I’d never seen baby peacocks until this post and now I am dead from how cute they are.
