What equipment do you use? Especially camera and lens?

My answer will probably be disappointing because my equipment is old and boring. 😅

Most of the photos on this blog have been taken with either Nikon d5000 or a hybrid camera Fujifilm X-A2. I use Fuji's kit lens. I bought my Nikon (14?? years ago!) as a double VR zoom kit, then later I upgraded to Tamron lenses (Tamron 18-270mm f/3.5-6.3 Di II VC PZD and Tamron af 70-300mm f/4-5.6 tele-macro full frame) and have been using them for years.

#about me #I don't use filters or anything #ok I have one polarizer but it only fits my kit lenses #tripod isn't my friend either coz I hate carrying a lot of stuff with me #so I only use it for night photos

Question about Tiger- what WAS his end goal? We know that he wanted to be TC leader but he really quickly pivoted to "world forest domination" after that failed, which is one of those things that feels like thistle's law would oppose. Also why did he start going after half clan cats while also preaching for the clans uniting under him and him alone one leader? Other than kitty racism of course.

(Gently) If you think that Thistle Law would oppose total forest takeover, then I really recommend you head over to the masterpost on Thistle Law as a concept. Nothing about Thistle Law is isolationist, never has been

The ideology sets itself apart from Hard Traditionalism because it becomes willing to enforce some standard of xenophobic purity. That's what Tigerstar wanted to do. There is no "other than kitty racism." That's it. Stonefur, Mistyfoot, Stormpaw, and Featherpaw's lives are the result of codebreaking and that makes them lesser than other cats.

There is no logical reason for bigotry. It's not a principle. It doesn't make sense. It's reactionary discomfort and cruelty given form.

Tigerstar wanted to decide who was pure enough to live and who was filthy enough to die. These categories are arbitrary.

(Under the cut TW: speaking frankly about miscegenation, segregation, and genocide.)

"But if they all united under one Clan, then they'd just start mixing in the end, wouldn't they?"

No. They wouldn't. The steps go like this;

The groups live together and mingle too closely. To prevent them from interbreeding, the code is emphasized.

Someone breaks the code. They are punished.

The kits are dealt with; either eliminated or considered lesser.

But every birth of mixed children poses an "existential" threat. "Purity" is a concept that has to be protected, if a Pure parent mixes with the wrong parent, ALL of the resulting children are dirty. It is a threat to the concept of purity.

And this continues to happen, and "purity" must be protected, so... the groups need to be kept separate.

There is no such thing as "separate but equal." One group is an underclass, prevented from moving freely. This would have been RiverClan.

But the groups continue to mingle, people won't stay put in a ghetto. More extreme measures are taken. Sterilization, kidnapping, execution...

But that still doesn't work. There's only one solution; Genocide.

The logical conclusion of this ideology is genocide. That's where it ends. It doesn't matter if the fascist believes this at the stage he's at or not; that is the built-in conclusion.

Fascism is a death cult.

Tigerstar's goal was to take over the forest and arbitrarily decide which cats would be "True" cats of TigerClan. He would have weeded out cats seemingly at random, but heavily favored ShadowClan. Eventually, the Clans would shift into various classes, before each one is systemically eliminated.

IF he went unopposed. Fascism is unstable. Hyperemotional, self-obsessed, frothing egotists are REALLY bad at organizing government and its very structure is prone to infighting.

The enemy is everywhere, both strong and weak. You live in a constant state of paranoia. You waste all your money on ridiculous vanity weapon projects and overestimate your abilities to absurdity. You kill off all the intellectuals because you're too fragile to be told no. The biggest liar in history is the person who equated any kind of fascism with "evil genius," spite is blinding and insecurity makes you do stupid things.

Turns out, that's really bad for holding onto power. These regimes crumble like a shitty jenga tower eventually; problem is, they're deadly before that point and drag down thousands of innocent people on the way down.

#better bones au #Thistle Law #tw fascism #tw bigotry #tw genocide #I feel like I get an ask like this every couple of months and I hittem with the Bigotry Doesnt Make Sense line #I gotta make a bus driver meme lmao #Don't make me tap the sign; Bigotry is not a principle. It does not make sense #Ask to tag for anything else btw I feel like bigotry/genocide/fascism should cover it #But if there's anything specific you guys use in your tag filters I'll smack it in

as a side note on the morality OCD thing, filtering phrases like "reblog if", "if you can't reblog this", "can and should reblog", "reblog this version", etc has helped immensely with not seeing as much of the guilt tripping bullshit on here. there are probably more but these are the ones on our filtered post content list so far.

also if you're on desktop, the Xkit Rewritten extension has a "tweaks" section for a bunch of dashboard stuff that includes the options "use a slim layout for filtered posts" which makes those posts take up less space, and "hide filtered posts entirely" so they don't show up on your dash at all if you need that option

#personal #thoughts #🍬 post #OCD #we're at the point where we just kind of filter anything that's likely to be distressing if we're already feeling rough #and then if we think we can handle it we'll maybe click to see what the post is and the filter just acts as a warning in advance #but if we're feeling like shit it means we don't have to risk seeing anything that's gonna fuck us up for the rest of the day #I promise you're allowed to do this and having to avoid distressing content doesn't make you a bad person #and I know that probably doesn't help much because morality OCD spirals are hell #but you deserve to do the things that help you and are good for your mental health #(also I just realised if you do have these phrases blocked this post is gonna look wild on the ''filtered content'' box thingy)

Tfw you're on mobile so can't send an evil boop and see a spoiler for Real Life when you haven't been able to watch everyone yet so you send a regular boop but you know, in your heart of hearts, it's an evil boop and they deserve it even though it's your own fault for scrolling Tumblr on mobile when it's very likely you'll see a spoiler for the silly little block people series that released today

#anytime I see a spoiler its 100% my fault #and i say that cos i only use tumblr on mobile and don't filter anything #boop #traffic smp #trafficblr #traffic series #life series #life smp #tbf the post im talking about didn't have a spoiler tag #and they said the winner #so like #its still my fault for seeing the spoiler #but they didnr give me the chance to not see the spoiler

Congrats to people in the Baltimore tag for getting me THIS close to breaking my 'no arguments on tumblr/no responding to stupid shit' rule, which I'm still half breaking right now. Anyways, insensitive memes and ridiculous conspiracies over a total anomaly/freak accident aside, I'm so sorry to anyone affected by the Baltimore bridge collapse, and hoping the missing people are found. Also extending sympathy to people with intense car anxiety/bridge phobias. There's tons of bridges like that in the VA/DC/MD/PA/DE/overall Chesapeake area, and I'm very sorry to those with anxiety who now have to cross those bridges daily on their commute despite recent events.

#baltimore bridge collapse #key bridge collapse #<<<for filtering #like idk man. feels weird talking about it bc i rarely give my opinions on stuff like this #i generally don't feel as if i have anything meaningful or helpful to add to conversations #but just annoyed at this in general. no evergiven jokes. no supernatural meme announcements. use some fucking tact #a bridge with people on it collapsing is not the same as a cargo ship getting safely stuck for a week #'is it a coincidence that this happened on evergiven week' yes. shut up. next.#it just gets to me when people take something like this and try to spin it into some conspiracy or joke or whatever

I have a tattoo of Mads as Hannibal, and we accidentally gave him eyebrows. I think it's hysterical idc

#I used a real pic and added a filter to it so its less realism and more animated-ish #and the filter just made the shadows of his face look like he has eyebrows #Don't ask me how I didn't notice because I stared at that pic for weeks AND looked at the stencil multiple times #My bad #It's alright though #Maybe one day I'll see if I can get it filled in enough to look like he doesn't #But I think thats the funniest mistake to make LMAO #I promise this wasn't just an impulse tattoo or anything and I usually am super picky about details I just temporarily lost my mind #its alright I love it #Its part of a sleeve ive for a bunch of other stuff #plus ive got Clarice and then im getting Will #and Anthony Hopkins hannibal too #hannibal #nbc hannibal #hannibal lecter #hannibal nbc #mads mikkelsen #(This was like a year ago)

#nothing is more depressing than working on my cv #because I just don't feel like I have marketable skills #and so many of the writing and research posts I come across on job sites are like ''you'll be working alongside ai''#I even saw a copywriter post that said ''you won't be doing any writing or editing. you job will be to refine and improve ai prompts #so that the ai can more consistently produce the texts we need''#like hello #the person doing that job is literally making themself more obsolete by the day #so here's the plan #I need to take any job that pays vaguely well #and use that money to either do short corses #or save up to go so my masters #that conclusion is inescapable #just. for now I'm still stuck on step 1 : finding a decent job #and (perhaps I'm being too picky) but post covid I do not want to go back into anything in the tourism industry #it's too precarious and honestly just comes down to entertaining rich people which pushes me further left every time i think about it #I considered joining the communist party. but 1) they're still part of the tripartite alliance with the anc... which is a no from me #and 2) communist révolution should spontaneously happen in industrialised countries with surplus wealth when the proletariat arise #south africa does not have surplus wealth nor class consciousness really. it's still filtered through post apartheid racial groupings #which is unhelpful because the black bourgeoisie are not our allies just because they're black #and trying to impose communism in a society without the surplus wealth didn't work out too well throughout the 20th century #so what does that leave you with #parties like cope ? plagued by the same issues as the anc ? no thank you #(I did also study politics btw which is why I've even considered these career paths)#(although I haven't worked in politics or governance since graduation so maybe that doesn't even matter anymore it's been years)#all I want is a job that pays fairly and leaves me with enough free time to do my hobbies #I do not have the grindset I'll admit that #which is why I've enjoyed the art industry #but again. it just comes down to entertaining rich people in the small galleries which is needlessly stressful #and the larger non-commercial galleries and musea aren't hiring atm...#and that's it. rant over I guess since this is the 30th tag

ao3's tagging system has me so spoiled bc i go basically anywhere else (like tunglr) and it's like you can execute a burnt-dogshit-quality search along a single term

so i'm sitting over here dying from lack of good f/f omegaverse stuff because nobody tags shit consistently and i can only search via tag and the ''omegaverse'' tag is mostly m/m by volume which is fine there's a market for that but it's not what i wanna read

i'd be interested to read more original (ie non-fanfic) f/f AOB but it's hard to find so.... i don't.

#omegaverse #f/f omegaverse #yuri omegaverse #AOB #(as in ''alpha/omega/beta''; not a typo)#non-horny #tag novel? fuck it i'm tagging it #tag novel #i'd prolly get a wider reach by using the typical order for the abbreviation but i don't like using it since it was pointed out to me that #the more typical order for the 'aob' abbreviation is the same spelling as a racial slur #and i just don't happen to think that putting 's/l/a/s/h/e/s' between the letters makes it not a racial slur anymore #it just looks like trying to say a racial slur while avoiding a computerized profanity filter #i know ao3 has an 'original work' fandom category you can search by but idk #it seems hard to find works that i like there #it doesn't help that people put RPF in that tag All The Time #and while everyone's cool to write whatever they like RPF gives me ick and i don't get anything out of reading it #and i don't want to wade through a million RPF fics to find decent AOB stuff #i'm picky about my aob leave me alone

I honestly like to be subscribed to blogs who's favourite characters/ships/aspects of the game are different from mine. There's something nice about seeing someone else enjoying something different about the same thing, something I may not even knew existed or just didn't think about. Consequently, I may start to get invested into liking it myself, or, if it's something that I rather dislike, I just grow accustomed to seeing it and it gets into a rather neutral territory. Or, sometimes there are ships that are definitely not my cup of tea, but fanart is gorgeous enough for me to appreciate it regardless, maybe even reblog. Yeah, it's just nice to see people being passionate about something you also love, even if they do that differently

#that's why I personally prefer not to blog any tags because I may miss something that'll change my opinion on it #that goes with a note that I don't hate anything strongly enough to actually bother filtering #or there is no tag associated with it to filter anyway #just a personal preference #totally understand why others may prefer their experience to be more strictly filtered #not no block* god damnit why don't tumbr allow edit tags that'd be a useful update for once

Something something the Janeway/Chakotay/Tuvok dynamic when it comes to religion, mysticism, spirituality and science.

#'something something' bc Chakotay's spirituality is exclusively filtered through a bunch of white people + a fraud*#so I'm more talking about in general. It's just interesting to me that Tuvok is shown to be so very into Vulcan mysticism/philosophy #Whereas Janeway is shown to be very staunchly on the boat of 'everything has a scientific explanation'#Sorry was thinking about Tuvok's line in 'Innocence' where he says: 'I believe there's more in each of us than science has yet explained'#*& I'm not native american & I don't know anything about any real world religions #there's something there with those three......#Not to mention Janeway's God complex /lighthearted #something...........about devotion maybe??#but more about how Chakotay & Tuvok are shown to be very devoted to their belief systems and how #in a better version of Voyager I wish they could have bonded or at least talked about it #I think it would have been interesting (in a better show)#However- I'm glad they didn't do this in canon bc of the first point I brought up.#But OH especially as an anthropologist? I feel like Chakotay would be very interested #SNRKAHAHAHA OH M Y GOD #I just looked up 'anthropologist' and when it said 'human societies' I was like 'oh so no other aliens? hm...' BITCH. GET A GRIP!!! HEHEH #PLUS they both rejected their own cultures in their youths then became...god what's the word???#They rejected their cultures then went back to them and accepted them fully and found strength in that coming-home

Having so much fun with sb ruin, we haven't run into ANY major glitches never mind game breaking ones, and we've just done the new daycare section. Spoilers if you haven't got that far and want to play it, but I had some thoughts about Eclipse.

Now eclipse is something that's been in the fandom for a while, I think before even the balloon boy game was found, but it's never really been canon? I don't think the name ever appeared in game, but previously the only depiction of some secret third personality in the daycare attendant was the strange purple glitch in the minigame that revealed a red black glowing sun face with red eyes. It was all very threatening and spooky, and you are in a horror game after all (supposedly), so of course people imagined eclipse to be some ultra terrifying final line of defence for the daycare or the pizzaplex as a whole. Tall. Aggressive. Clever. Comes with a whole colour change to match, the way sun and moon do.

But ruin showed a completely different Eclipse! He (they? It?) was clear of mind (mostly, he was convinced the plex was running as normal), kind, and safe! He even gently dropped cassie off outside the play area! Even sun in sb physically threw us out in fury lmao. His eyes glowed different colours, his ARMS glowed different colours (that would have been so cool in sb), he had the rays and cap at the same time!

But why? What reason was eclipse programmed? In the daycare, there wouldn't have been any reason for him.

Well, there's the theory that sun and moon weren't originally created for the daycare, at least not solely. Instead, it's highly possible that they were made for the theatre next door.

Why? Well, for one, their design. Sun and moon are dressed like jesters, with bright colours and stripes, baggy trousers, curled toe slippers, and bells and ribbons on every limb. They bob and move in a way designed to jingle, with very long and articulate joints, even their head has a huge range of motion compared to the other animatronics. In fact, pretty much everything BUT their face is very expressive. It's as if they were designed to be seen at a distance. Exposed wires on the back of their head too, something none of the other animatronics have (being grabbed and hugged and climbed by kids all day, that's dangerous! To both them and the animatronics!)

The theatre, too, is designed and fitted for live performances. Though it is mostly a movie theatre now with a giant screen, there was still that badly programmed staff bot comedian (both in the game setting and its actual coding lmao) and the entire backstage area with dressing rooms, abandoned set pieces and undressed endos. The sun and moon faces are the theatre masks of joy and sorrow at its entrance. It's very likely sun and moon were originally intended to be the main actors, playing both villain and hero roles and saving the company a LOT of money in the long run, not paying for lead actors every day.

So what does this have to do with eclipse?

In the daycare, his presence makes little sense, but as a theatre performer, it would have been invaluable. Instead of making the character unbalanced in one direction, eclipse could have served as narrator, ringmaster, ambassador, he would have been the one bowing after a show, the one talking to parents, handing out flyers and merch, all the stuff you need to front that kind of show.

For one, it puts sun and moon on equal levels as all their marketing does, rather than sun being pretty much the sole worker. It allows them to act and be seen as two parts of a whole, rather than sun (and his evil counterpart). Eclipse is unbothered by changes in light, moving from the bright spotlights that crippled moon into total darkness that overrode dun in sb. From a production standpoint, eclipse is ideal to work with, the best parts of sun and moon.

But why sell one lot of merch when you could sell two? Make it a set?

And when they were repurposed to the daycare attendant, there wasn't much use for a third personality at all. Maybe behind the curtains, down in parts and services, maybe some niche situations. But without merch, without need, with the animatronic still in use, common knowledge of the eclipse program dissipated like mist.

All except for sun and moon and one broken arcade machine.

#fnaf sb #fnaf security breach #fnaf sb ruin #fnaf eclipse #fnaf sun and moon #fnaf daycare attendant #security breach ruin #security breach daycare attendant #Do I think this is a tragic story for eclipse? No. I (personally) think of the da as one singular person just... Through different filters?#Different personalities? I don't know how to describe it. I think sun and moon miss BEING eclipse not that they miss the person itself #Doesn't stop each aspect having Opinions on the others and preferring to be themselves... If that makes sense??#Maybe like the same person if they took different paths in life and met.#Thinking about it how do sun and moon even refer to each other?? I don't remember either of them actually talking about the other at all.#We only got eclipses name from the subtitles. Sun never actually says moons name or pronouns or anything afaik...?#It's just 'keep the lights on' and 'why would you do that?!' and 'I'm trapped in a nap!'#And of course freddy only refers to the da as 'it' so... That's kinda it to my knowledge lol #I hc them as 'it' but I use 'he' the same way I use he for loz link it's just more clear who you're referring to and they're fictional #I do think a lot of sun/moons... Worst habits would have improved if they'd still had regular time as eclipse ngl. Sun was very overworked.

Sick coloring and shading, dude ❢ Unfortunately I don't like how you draw Sonic the hedgehog so I'll have to blacklist your blog because I don't want to block you.

#If you see this then it's not aimed at you since like #I don't interact with those blogs at all I just try to remember their username and add them to my filters #Most of the stuff in my filtered list is just blogs that draw Mobians in ways that make me uncomfortable #Like not even in an objectively bad way #I mean it's not harmful or anything #I just have weird gut reactions due to having used Deviantart for way too long #(I was literally 12 when I joined DA)#I should probably never have joined this site or at least not that early. It wrecked me #But yeah my brain keeps recognizing patterns. Or just making patterns up #Sometimes there's really nothing to worry about but I feel like there's patterns so I'm grossed out #and all panicky and stuff #But I'd end up blocking like 35% of the fandom if I actually blocked people over artstyles I don't like #I know that I'm not rational about this so don't see it as a genuine criticism of the fandom here #I think most s/t/h Tumblrinas are extremely chill + talented + open-minded + not fucking creeps #Even more chill than the French side of the fandom on Google+#So like it's not an attack on the fandom or anything‚ I'm just mentally ill #Berry rambles
