One time instead of finishing inking a single drawing I straight up applied for and got a new job
i've decided to just start identifying as eccentric

the hadron collider is like an angel to me
>large >unbelievably powerful >hurts to look at for too long
^ this is an angel
-wheels within wheels (look at it (and this picture doesn't even really convey the scale of interconnected circular structures))
-covered in eyes (sensors)
-too large to see the whole thing at once
-too intricate for one mortal mind to grasp the whole thing at once
-brings cryptic messages about the nature of reality
-benevolent, but will kill you with invisible rays if you try to fuck with it while it's on the job
This makes scientists and technicians priests, which also tracks in some ways.
elon musk had a third child with grimes that he kept secret until the release of his biography. he named it techno mechanicus
can you imagine being an adult nepo baby at a company your rich dad invested in and having to walk into the boardroom first day like. hi everyone. my name is techno mechanicus
I can tell this is fake because "techno mechanicus" doesn't start with X
OH SON OF A BITCH
I haven't been reblogging this post because I genuinely assumed you guys were Goncharoving a nepo baby
The nazis that you see in movies are as much a historical fantasy as vikings with horned helmets and samurai cutting people in half.
The nazis were not some vague evil that wanted to hurt people for the sake of hurting them. They had specific goals which furthered a far right agenda, and they wanted to do harm to very specific groups, (largely slavs, jews, Romani, queer people, communists/leftists, and disabled people.)
The nazis didn't use soldiers in creepy gas masks as their main imagery that they sold to the german people, they used blond haired blue eyed families. Nor did they stand up on podiums saying that would wage an endless and brutal war, they gave speeches about protecting white Christian society from degenerates just like how conservatives do today.
Nazis weren't atheists or pagans. They were deeply Christian and Christianity was part of their ideology just like it is for modern conservatives. They spoke at lengths about defending their Christian nation from godless leftism. The ones who hated the catholic church hated it for protestant reasons. Nazi occultism was fringe within the party and never expected to become mainstream, and those occultists were still Christian, none of them ever claimed to be Satanists or Asatru.
Nazis were also not queer or disabled. They killed those groups, before they had a chance to kill almost anyone else actually. Despite the amount of disabled nazis or queer/queer coded nazis you'll see in movies and on TV, in reality they were very cishet and very able bodied. There was one high ranking nazi early on who was gay and the other nazis killed him for that. Saying the nazis were gay or disabled makes about as much sense as saying they were Jewish.
The nazis weren't mentally ill. As previously mentioned they hated disabled people, and this unquestionably included anyone neurodivergent. When the surviving nazi war criminals were given psychological tests after the war, they were shown to be some of the most neurotypical people out there.
The nazis weren't socialists. Full stop. They hated socialists. They got elected on hating socialists. They killed socialists. Hating all forms of lefitsm was a big part of their ideology, and especially a big part of how they sold themselves.
The nazis were not the supervillians you see on screen, not because they didn't do horrible things in real life, they most certainly did, but because they weren't that vague apolitical evil that exists for white American action heros to fight. They did horrible things because they had a right wing authoritarian political ideology, an ideology that is fundamentally the same as what most of the modern right wing believes.
Specifically Hitler ran on the platform that he could unite all Germans under one territory. He ran on patriotic white supremacy.
On the very first page of Mein Kampf, Hitler openly declared his belief that "common blood belongs in a common Reich", elucidating the notion that the innate quality of race (as the Nazi movement perceived it) should hold precedence over "artificial" concepts such as national identity (including regional German identities such as Prussian and Bavarian) as the deciding factor for which people were "worthy" of being assimilated into a Greater German racial state (Ein Volk, Ein Reich, Ein Führer). Part of the strategic methods which Hitler chose to ensure the present and future supremacy of the Aryan race (which was, according to Hitler, "gradually approaching extinction") was to do away with what he described as the "small state rubbish" (Kleinstaatengerümpel, compare Kleinstaaterei) in Europe in order to unite all these Nordic countries into one unified racial community. From 1921 onward he advocated the creation of a "Germanic Reich of the German Nation".
The Nazis considered the putative "Aryan race" a superior "master race", and they considered Jews, mixed-race people, Slavs (specifically groups such as Poles or Russians), Romani, Africans, and certain other ethnicities racially inferior "sub-humans", whose members were only suitable for slave labor and extermination.
Heavy tw for this next link: Not all are in medical environments. All inhumane.
And of course:
The reason you don't see realistic depictions of Nazis these days is the same reason Twitter developed and then refused to run algorithms that banned neo-Nazis.
sorry...!!!!for the long jfash ramble I woke up a little inspired.. I wanna post more about rorita but I have yet to see what that side of tumblr is like (〃 ᷇ᵕ ᷆〃)
NyaNya is releasing Madoka Magica original Lolita dresses.. This is so cool to me
imperative for you to understand that i deserve a little treat
~my cat, very loudly, every morning and night
could someone caption my gif, i have no idea what i’m doing XD
ohhh my god in todays episode when he hands izutsumi her bowl of the barometz meal he calls her "neko-musume" or 猫娘
netflix translates this as "cat girl" but it literally translates to "cat daughter" (猫 - cat and 娘 - my daughter)
This week's episode of dungeon meshi adapted a really fascinating conversation-- where Marcille talks about why she doesn't like eating monsters. And you start to see, from Izutsumi, that there are prejudices against eating them-- that you'll get a weird disease or turn into a monster yourself.
No one ever gets food poisoning because this world runs on porn logic, but for food, but it does bring up interesting ideas and real world parallels. People don't want to take something unclean into themselves.
Idk, food in dungeon meshi is an indicator of class, of wealth and culture. And if you look through history, you'll see that insulting someone's food has been a pretty common way of dehumanizing cultures. "We don't want these immigrants here, their food is rotten and icky, they consume the animals that we treasure and cherish!"
I don't really have a moral or anything I'm getting to here, but this was one of the lines that really stuck with me.
Here's to the people who can't get the words on the page. The people who are too tired after all life throws at them to write. The people who are blocked. The people who are burnt out. The people who can't write because of physical or mental illnesses. The people who don't know why they can't write. And the people struggling with all those other things that get in the way of writing and make it seem or be impossible.
You're still a writer, you're still an artist. And you matter. This world is better since you're in it. Thank you for wanting to write, even if you can't right now. I hope you and your words find each other soon.
if you're cringing at the genre conventions of the genre you are writing in then why the hell are you writing in it. either have something substantial to say about those conventions or shut the hell up! i will not cringe alongside you at superhero powers and spaceship battles and big eldritch worms and bone magic. i came to this story to SEE that shit and I don't appreciate it when an author tries to pretend they're above the very things they're selling themselves on
It's a lot healthier to go for a daily walk than to sign up for a gym membership you won't be using because you hate that kind of exercise. It's a lot healthier to eat a frozen meal than to skip a meal because you were too tired to cook something healthy. It's a lot healthier to take a quick shower than to procrastinate an elaborate routine for days. Don't aim so high that you won't be hitting anything!
this is actually really helpful and affirming thanks
All throughout childhood, while my peers were socializing and making friends, I studied the blade read so many books that I am now almost legally blind, which left me with vast and deeply instinctual understanding of English grammar - and next to no ability to explain how it actually works. Friends will often ask me to proofread their writing and then get very mad when I say things like, "You need to completely reverse this sentence and cut this clause entirely; no, I'm sorry, i don't know why, I just know that the way it is now ITCHES 😭"
Now, what I want to see is a fantasy story where this plays out with MAGICAL grammar. Someone from a backwater town deeply steeped in folk magic arrives at Wizard Uni where all their fellow students are like "What do you mean, we should add another '𝞯∘⋇𝞿' to the incancation because it 'sounds better'? What do you mean, 'it could just be a regional thing'?? WHAT DO YOU MEAN, 'THIS SPELL JUST FEELS LIKE IT NEEDS A LIVE RAT'????"
