things im Big Mad about: why can't there just be a universal currency. money conversion is bullshit and i Hate it why isn't everything just the same goddamn amount literally Everything would be so much easier

#pointless posting #vent/#i guess?#idk #I'm looking at my two dragon games and like. I'm mad that there's not a bundle membership at reduced price #and my hyperfixated ass is like 'we need both' and I'm going to strangle my brain #money conversion is stupid and whoever thought it was a good idea to have everything be a different amount when it's thE SAME AMOUNT #JUST IN A DIFFERENT COUNTRY.#SHOULD GET PUNCHED SO HARD IN THE BALLS THEY COME OUT THE THROAT #ok im fine #it is. seven in the morning.#i know it's a separate membership because it's a game for small kids because it's htt/yd #and they wanna extort as much money as they can from adults who just want their kids to stop bothering them about things #but like. if anything that would be a more solid plan and benefit everybody. more people playing both games #more people who are probably willing to throw money at it to distract a child #which. is not the greatest but at this point i do not care #hopefully I'm going to go back to sleep now or at least soon

do u know that even the size of the different size of vegetables at another country amazed me because from where i came from they are all smaller and scrawnier

#to remind u guys if u're thinking about something naughty stop right there; the different size of the food served is also surprising #twisted wonderland #twst #sebek zigvolt #ace trappola #deuce spade #twst yuu #twst mc #fanart #do westerners go to asian country feels like they are served dwarf's portion #because as an asian; it always feel like we are served giant's portion; not exaggerating bcs we can never finish it #understandable because westerners can grow so tall so they must need more energy to burn #it's like if we order food; we asians always have to have a tupperware to take leftover home #but the price of the food in all the food places is so expensive it's reasonable the portion is big #i might ignite if paying so much we only get rabbit portion #anyhow i am just thinking of this because of the briar valley's big horse post #i do love to think everything is bigger in briar valley #the trees are all so lushfull and majestic like they all have lived a thousand years already #and the vegetables all just grow happily and absorb so much nutrient from the soil they are so big also #i was thinking of drawing e pel too but the space #while to people who born in this country feels things like these are normal #the thought of being able to be born in such a country where the produce all looking so big and healthy is such a blessing to me #it almost feels like they take it for granted; but it's just what they are born to #i have a nephew who is SUPER picky & waste food so much #i am crying everytime #yes y'all have a lot of food and good life here but h e l p #i'm sure the climate also makes vegetables bigger #i think i heard in winter plants stock more nutrients in their produce as stock for spring & summer #that's why winter veggies are better & sweeter and all #my country's vegetables are scrawny because the heat evaporates everything

stardew valley hot(?) take:: if you pick anything besides “experimental noise rock” for sam’s 2-heart event where you decide his band’s sound, you are simply wrong and non-canonical argue with the wall

like i’m sorry, you really think the town’s resident grunge/emo trio would play “cheerful pop” “hi-energy dance” or “honky-tonk country”?? these guys look like they feed off the souls of dying Hot Topics

#lol i’m mostly just being silly it’s okay if you have a different opinion #but i’m right!! right???#if you picked country music i’m sorry to inform you you’re EXTRA wrong #stardew valley #sdv #stardew valley sam #stardew sam #sdv sam #sdv sebastian #sdv abigail #stardew

Meet Twinkleshine, the Smug and Dramatic The Illustrious Illusionist of Swap Six/Side Stars!

Fun Fact: Twinkleshine is an absolute glitter fanatic. She loves glitter so much. Shiny things are her kryptonite give her a glitter snow globe and you can distract her for hours. That's how she picked her name, because she just loves twinkling shiny objects.

#my art #my little pony #mlp #trixie lulamoon #mlp trixie #Twinkleshine #mlp g4 #mlpfim #mlp fim #my little pony friendship is magic #Note: Her father was surprisingly accepting (surprising to Twinkles because she expected being an older goat from the old country he -#wouldn't be okay with it) of her being trans and encouraged her even! Almost made up for him judging her career choices... almost...#her mother was surprisingly the hold out not because she had an issue with trans ponies -#moreso that already being visibly different was a bit of a struggle among Canterlot nobles - her mother has noble lineage #and while she is accepted in society due to her noble connection everyone judges her choice of husband and life so she just fretted for her #Twinkles loves standing out though! And being her authentic self! And kicking transphobes with her show heels!#Second Fun Fact: Germane/Germaney is the pun people will notice -#'Leipziege' is the pun I'm proud of! (In our world the town's named Leipzig I changed it to Leipziege - because 'ziege' is goat in German!)

White French people hate it when they get a taste of their own medicine.

I was discussing with one of my colleagues and she told me how she was planning to go to Senegal for the holidays because she thought it was a good way for her kids to see more diversity and people who don’t look like them (ie Black People).

So I told her it was a good idea because I was 4 the 1st time I saw a White person (and I cried btw...) And she was so shocked, like she couldn’t understand that some Black kids have never seen White people in their lives but somehow doesn’t think twice about the fact that her kids are in a similar situation.

Another time, I was talking to someone else about how I arrived in France when I was young but had lived in many African countries growing up (RDC, Kenya , Gabon, Center African Republic...).

And then that person proceeded to go on a tirade about how I must have felt so lucky to arrive in France, and how I should have been relieved to arrive in a developed country like France, blablaba. I just told him “not really”, because growing up I was told that France was amazing and so wealthy, but the first time I saw homeless people was when I arrived in Europe, so I didn’t really understand why people always talked about Europe like that. And again, the guy was shocked, just because I didn’t say my life in Africa was miserable and sad, and because I said that Europe was from what I had heard as a child.

If you’re going to bring your assumptions without knowing, I’ll retort with mine ( the view of an 8-9 year old). I don’t understand how someone can feel so entitled and assume something about your situation without asking first. I’m sorry the only thing you know about Africa is that one documentary you watched in middle school but leave me alone.

#random stuff #I just give what I get #And I'm not saying there's no poverty in Africa... But people need to understand that Africa is a continent not a country #and I think that even people who understand it don't really understand understand it #what I mean is that all countries are different and even within the countries you have differences and just like any other countries in the #world you have wealth differences and it's stupid to assume that just because you come from an African country you're grateful to arrive in #an European country or a western country #Also you'll have very different opinions whether your coming from east Africa west africa northern africa etc...#They say stuff but then are surprised when you say the same thing back

Love the thought of Leo just casually being well traveled to absurd degrees. Like one day they’re facing their new Big Bad of the year and like, Draxum or whoever says that the key to their fight is located somewhere in, like, Latvia or some place, but no one knows where to start.

Then Leo’s like “oh I know a place” and when asked how the heck he could know of one it smash cuts to Leo falling through the ceiling of said place due to a portal mishap.

Also love the idea of Leo, being as accidentally (and then later, purposefully) well traveled as he is, sometimes taking his family on outings to different places all over, maybe to some new Yokai spots he found along the way.

In these places, Leo 100% lets his bros get scammed by tourist traps.

#rottmnt #rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles #rottmnt leo #rise leo #rottmnt headcanons #bro was so excited about buying stuff that he didn’t realize it was a scam until too late #so now he’s super sus of all that BUT super willing to laugh at his fam for making the same mistake #anyway yeah I love Leo being well traveled because it honestly makes sense? why NOT use your teleportation to travel if you can do it fast #all his portal mishaps in the series as well as that time he accidentally went to Paris (+ once a diff dimension?) live in my head rent free #Leo destroying the stall of some random family’s restaurant in Paraguay and having to work it off the rest of the summer #he’s just like ‘hey guys I’m heading out’ but doesn’t mention it’s for a part time job in a different country #he only knows like English and Spanish BUT he’s picked up on a lot of other languages too due to his misadventures #tho he mostly knows a whole lot of various swear words #leo about to tease donnie for getting banned from witch town only to remember HE’S banned from a place in Turkey: 😬#he keeps trying to find where he accidentally put his brothers in Tahiti but he can’t find it and he’s so salty about it lol

You know what's hilarious, if Ludinus was indeed a young man being traumatized by the end of the Calamity. Deirta Thelyss is almost certainly older than he is.

This is not relevant but I think Essek should bring this up, just to be a bitch about it.

#for the purposes of showing my work: a beacon was found by leylas kryn 1200 years ago.#she was considered enough of a cultural leader or influence to convince people to follow her ergo likely an adult of some standing.#the other umavi of the ruling dens (aka deirta and abrianna) are suggested to have been around at the time as well #ludinus would be at most 1000 years old. they're all like. at LEAST 1400 mentally if not physically.#and that's the LOW estimate #as always how long was the calamity. are the umavi actually pre-calamity. that would be SO funny to me.#(pre-calamity and pre-divergence are different for the record.)#ludinus da'leth ain't SHIT #leylas kryn escaped lolth lived through the calamity and has gone through seven rebirths. ludinus WISHES #if ANYONE deserves to have beef with lolth it's leylas kryn for the record. I mean she does. canonically. BUT HERS IS MOST VALID #anyway as always the dynasty best country <3 #if there are 99 ludinus haters I'm one of them if there's one it's me if there are none I've left this earth etc etc #he's just SO fun to hate and I do not respect him in the slightest nor do I think he deserves respect or validation.#I think he should get fucking sucked into a dark star and never be heard from again xoxo :3 #cr spoilers #essek thelyss

I always though Mal's mom was meant to be like "Eleanor" but they stuck an M at the start honestly, Sobbing Emoji. But "Maleanor" also makes me feel less insane since in that scene where she's just handed egg Malleus to Lilia and went to battle, it sounds more like Lilia is saying "Maleanor" than "Meleanor" (Japanese accent pending). Mayhaps they went more with what it sounded like the characters were saying :0 (we don't talk about Doodle Suit to Paint The Roses)

the transliteration of her name is Marenoa (マレノア), which is what all the voice lines are saying! all the Draconias' names start with マレ (Malleus' grandma is Maleficia/マレフィシア) as a nod to Maleficent. :D it's almost certainly a take on Eleanor, which is Erenoa (エレノア), but her name is written in English at a couple points, and I was pretty surprised to see it was Mel instead of Mal!

and, like, that's fine, it wouldn't be first Twst romanization that's tripped me up (like Keito for Cater, I know that's something to do with the loanword specific to playing cards(?) but it's just not how my brain wants to read it). but now Eng has given us Maleanor! and someone else said it was spelled inconsistently between Maleanor and Maeleanor??????? so WHO KNOWS it's a SPELLING FREE-FOR-ALL

I AM torn on which I want to use, because Mel just sounds so cute to me (and is what I'm used to now), but...the Mal consistency is kinda too good to pass up. alas, alas, truly these are the most difficult conundrums of our times. 😔

#twisted wonderland #twisted wonderland spoilers #i...am unsure if maleficia's name gets mentioned pre-part 6 so i'm gonna go overboard on the spoiler tags just in case #i-i just want to be careful okay #twisted wonderland episode 7 spoilers #twisted wonderland book 7 spoilers #twisted wonderland episode 7 part 6 spoilers #twisted wonderland book 7 part 6 spoilers #well if nothing else i'm happy i can stop calling him revaan. that was getting too silly.#and seeing baur finally twigged the reference for me (somewhat embarrassingly late)#me: (looking at a crocodile man whose name is literally written bauru) HMM I JUST DON'T KNOW #(i assume they went with 'baur' instead of 'bauru' to make it more of a reference and less...literally the name of a municipality)#(and also a sandwich according to wikipedia?)#(no actually he should have been bauru that would've been incredible) (sandwich grandpa)#i might call artistic license and use something like 'the briarlands' instead of 'briarland' though if it ever comes up #(it looks like we're going to be leaving the pre-valley timeline soon so it probably won't) (but i just want it on record)#i actually do like it being more unique than just 'briar country/kingdom' but i think the plural adds more of that ~fantasy flair~#...also this is how i find out that trey's magic name is different in eng?#(wow i really do not pay attention huh)#'paint the roses' IS the actual translation of his magic (薔薇を塗ろう) so it's not...COMPLETELY different at least?#i...guess they went for the more immediately obvious reference...? weird

I see a lot of people headcanoning that Marcille and Kabru will become friends postcanon over a shared love of gossip, but to me the biggest thing they have in common is that they're both deeply concerned with the inequality between the races.

I think before anything else, as the two people closest to the throne, they'll probably end up banding together over their shared desire to fix the divide between the races. Marcille has to give up on her dream of magically changing humanity, but she can help Laios achieve it Kabru's way, through political and social change.

#Dungeon Meshi spoilers #there's a lot of ambiguity over magic going forward and what the demons did to the different races....#but I think it's overall a very “you can't always have the exact thing you want” ending #so I don't see the lifespans reversing as a possible outcome. for better or worse we find a way forward regardless.#you can't magic your way out of everything ... but you CAN get three meals a day and proper exercise!#anyway even if Laios didn't really think of it in those terms he did want to create a place for everyone to live in harmony #and I like the hints that he achieves that with the kids of different races shown in the epilogue #I think that would be something Kabru and Marcille focus on a lot #musings with Dea #I just love thinking about the Golden Country trio you guys

Quick trans tip for those experiencing breast growth:

If you're interested in wearing a bra, please make sure to size correctly. Absolutely, bras can sometimes feel uncomfortable after wearing them for an extended amount of time, but if it actively hurts, please make sure it's the right size. You shouldn't feel like you can't breathe, or your circulation is restricted, or like the band/wires are digging into your skin. Bra sizing can make such a difference, and there're so many wild misconceptions about how bras work that it can be very confusing at times (even for cis people!). Breasts will develop for years, so please regularly check your size if you plan on wearing bras. There are some pretty accurate online calculators and forums, and when you start understanding how measurements translate into sizes, it makes a lot more sense.

If anybody has anything to add, please do! I'm not directly experienced in this, but I want all trans people to be educated and empowered in what makes them comfortable💛

#trans #transgender #lgbt #lgbtq #mtf #nonbinary #obviously you shouldn't feel *compelled* to wear one and indeed it's just a non-action to not wear one #i know this is a very introductory tip and i won't tell you what you should/shouldn't get because there's no 'terrible' option if it fits #anyway this is the information i've learned from many women while i was down a rabbit hole of curiosity #it's interesting how your size gets... sized. like it's the difference between the underbust and the point where the chest is biggest #so if you know that and you know how your country works wrt sizing you'll often have a good idea on where to start #honestly i would recommend that if you aren't comfortable with sizing in person (understandable)

Meet the Artist

It’s been a while since I’ve posted a meet the artist

─── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ───

Important Tags:

[image ID under the cut]

[image ID: Meet the artist meme of tumblr user floq. At the center of the image there's a drawing of myself in real life, this is a tall and slender femme presenting person with pale skin and shoulder length brown hair styled as a messy bob, they wear a pair of round glasses and their head is slightly tilted to the left. They wear a long black skirt paired with an oversized striped gray and black sweatshirt; they are wearing a pair of fingerless gloves, fishnets tights and combat boots. Behind this drawing of myself there's a drawing of my sona, which is a femme looking shadow creature with multiple eyes, shaggy shoulder length hair and white colored arms, they are waving at the viewer with their left hand.

There are multiple items in the scene that have different facts about myself. On the left side, from top to bottom we have:

a "Hello, my name is" sticker with the name "Florencia Quiroz" and the pronouns "They/she" written on it along side with three doodles of ghosts.

a yellow sticky note that lists my instagram @floq_art and my tumblr @floq.

a green and black birthday cake with candles that say "20" and my birthday (october 21st, 2003) written on it.

a burgundy heart that reads "I like... gothic music and subculture, horror media, coffee" as bullet points.

a drawing of my cat Romeo.

a drawing of character Danny Phantom from the show of the same name surrounded by green ghosts. next to the drawing says "Fav show: Danny Phantom".

On the right side, from top to bottom we have:

a drawing of the non-binary flag, a drawing of the asexual flag and a drawing of the autism infinity symbol.

doodles of eyes.

a drawing of my Sony WH-1000XM4 which I wear everywhere.

drawings of three different album covers from the artists Siousxie and the Banshees, The Cure and Gorillaz (the albums are: The Best Of... Siouxsie and the Banshees, Disintegration and Demon Days). below the albums it's written "my music taste".

doodles of two black bats.

drawing of the chilean flag with the words "I'm from:" written above.

Everything on scene is up against a plain olive green background. End of ID]

#the ID was a pain to write #i also changed the flag bc i originally had the flag of my home city #most of us are from chile so stating it on the drawing would’ve just been redundant #but there are a lot of people that come from different cities and regions all throughout the country #my art #floqsona #meet the artist #artists on tumblr

qabqab shoes originated in syria, possibly in the 14th century. different styles spread across the levant and into ottoman turkey, egypt, and tunisia. these clogs originated for wearing to protect from dirt on the street and inside bathhouses. they later evolved into a fashionable shoe.

the shoe is flat with wooden stilts - up to 26 cm - attached to the bottom. (the name "qabqab" comes from the sound they make when the wearer is walking). they can be decorated with carvings, precious stone inlays, and embroidery. in the past, they were usually associated with wealthy women - the higher the stilts, the more servants a woman would need to help her walk around.

#syria #items #my posts #the word for sandal in hebrew is ''qafqaf''#wouldn't be surprised if they took it from this #qabqabs were in a million different places not just syria so i feel weird just giving 1 country tag #but i made this blog format up. so

I keep seeing people say it's not fitting that Danse enjoys country music 😭 I find it pretty fitting and not out of character at all. he definitely puts on a country station while he's tinkering with his armor or guns, and hums along to it absentmindedly. I think it's sweet

#kasper yaps #i only recently actually started listening to country so maybe im biased #but i think people have a certain image of what country is when it can actually be a lot if different things #or maybe im just texan. idk #but i think danse would be open to any genre. he enjoys learning new things!#edit: putting this in the main tag cuz i want to know other ppls opinions #paladin danse

Now Russia got colours too~

I like his layered coat, I was thinking that it would be funny if actually he had third layer hidden under this two layers and it would be shorter and thin like the top layer. Well, probably it’s pretty easy to tell that I like hidden details that are there and maybe they are even pretty cool, but probably no one ever will see them.

I didn’t took any specific jellyfishes for this, but I have pretty strong ascension between Russia and aurelia jellyfishes so I took them as some sort of reference/inspiration to be honest.

And I don’t have any alternative colours this time and also screenshots still eat quality, so I want to show little close up
