I think one big reason why we don't consider the stars as important as before (not even pop-astrology anymore cares about the stars or the sky on itself, just the signs deprived of context) is because of light pollution.
For most of human history the sky looked between 1-3, 4 at most. And then all of a sudden with electrification it was gone (I'm lucky if I get 6 in my small city). The first time I saw the Milky Way fully as a kid was a spiritual experience, I was almost scared on how BRIGHT it was, it felt like someone was looking back at me. You don't get that at all with modern light pollution.
When most people talk about stargazing nowadays they think about watching about a couple of bright dots. The stars are really, really not like that. The unpolluted night sky is a festival of fireworks. There is nothing like it.
legitimately so scary that i just made a doctors appointment for 2025. you mean the far distant sci fi future 2025? you mean the pacific rim 2025? you mean i have to go to the doctor while giant robots are fighting the fucking kaiju? fuck all the way offfffffff
randomly remembering the time in 2012 when everyone kept saying the world was going to end at midday that day and like, i didnt really believe it, but i didnt want to be a complete fool if i was wrong, so i excused myself from class to go sit the field and perfectly timed the beat drop to a skrillex song just in case something happened. and im just. retroactively amused by the idea of ushering in the appocalypse with skrillex. most 2012 thing you could possibly do.
Zine Topic/Subject/Focus Ideas (brainstorming):
Favorite family recipes (one recipe per zine? hand drawn illustrations of steps/ingredients; include personal stories/memories about the recipe)
"Wanted" posters (hand drawn "Wanted" posters of things I want in the moment I create the zine; ex. cup of coffee, peace of mind, time machine, my missing "marbles", etc...)
"Unwanted" posters (similar to "Wanted" posters idea, but things i don't want; ex. mosquitoes, 90 degree F days in September, car problems, Donald Trump on my news feed)
"Static in my Head" (smaller collections of black and white abstract art similar to my "Static in my Head" sketchbook, but released as a series)
I haven't been in the fandom long, but I think I've noticed a trend...
I like some angst just as much as the next person but omg give this man a hug
Note: I am in no way saying I don't like angsty fanfictions (heck I have some pretty angsty head canons) I just find the sheer amount of them funny. And it just makes me wonder how (canon) Danny would react himself
I just wanted to make this clear that it's a joke- I always worry about my comics coming off the wrong way lol
People defend Katara being reduced to only a healer in LoK by saying that fighting was too traumatic for her but Katara's most traumatic moments often involved healing, like having to bring her friends back from the brink of death more than once, or discovering she could heal through experiencing intense pain and being hurt by someone she loved, or being told that healing was all she was good for. Meanwhile she looked like she was having the time of her life beating some dude's ass.
you can always give your blorbos mobility aids btw . you can always make them disabled its always morally correct
Add another one to the list of hilarious examples of why generative AI doesn't produce correct answers, just statistically likely ones.
(Customers asked for how-to videos, which the company doesn't have. The AI chatbot decided that a million internet users linking to this video after similar requests couldn't be wrong.)
Batman: I don’t kill. It’s wrong.
Batman three minutes later putting on spiked brass knuckles: anyway did I ever tell you about how Superman is a much better person than me?
I’m starting a burnt out adults club where we talk about all the cool things we want to do if we had the time and then when we do have the time we don’t do anything cuz we are too tired and just sleep
you deserve all the safety and love and care and joy you begged the universe for as a child
Bug || 22 they/them || pure chaos + lots of neurodivergent and Batman shit
