#Metaphorically unfortunately

Unga bunga these take 3 hrs to make
#Artfight#Art#Hollers into the sky I'M MAKING AAART#Glad I still got it#Also was on vacay for the first two weeks of AF so thats. Great#Is it update time? Sure here's a quick life update#So I work at this tiny mom and pop shop right. Because they were so small they liked to take advantage of their workers#Aka me and literally 2 other people ever. I've been here for a year lmao#I always knew they were suspicious but it really came to a head when they accused me of stealing money#Btw they issued me a 1099 (the wrong tax form) so they already stole from me#I talked to the bank and had the delightful experience of slapping their account across the face with my guilt free hands#Metaphorically unfortunately#I'm gonna quit this week. I'm tired of these people. The drama was fun tho#Let's see. Ah! I just passed 1 1/2 years of Sky the other day!#More than the game itself I've become engrossed in the modding community hahaha#It's the weirdest little cranny of a fandom I've seen for such a large project#It's basically ONLY passed via word of mouth. And there's all sorts of fun drama happening within the discord(s) too#Idk this is just so funny to watch. Might get banned sooner or later but oh well. I've spent hundreds#It's their loss 🤪 and mine. Mostly mine. But also their loss 🤪#.... You know. My blog is small enough that I could post some funny stuff that I don't dare post anywhere else#Hehehuhuhu I just might. I have a lot of videos#OH SPEAKING OF VIDEOS I'm thinking of cleaning up all my old vids and publishing em to youtube#Apparently I just never did that#May as well dust off the ol' tube of yube and my handful of subs#I'll just post the unfinished ones unlisted as well. Why not!#Till next time. Hopefully soon

Vulcan Eyebrow Pointiness is governed by gene(s) in an imprinted region of the genome.
Imprinted genes are expressed differently depending on which parent they're inherited from; either the maternal or paternal copy of the gene is suppressed. On Earth, this can be seen in some human genetic disorders such as Prader-Willi/Angelmann syndrome (both caused by a large deletion on chromosome 15; which one presents is dependent on which parent the mutation is inherited from).
Another case where genomic imprinting causes noticeable differences in phenotype are lion/tiger hybrids. They have the same complement of genes, being 50% lion and 50% tiger, but ligers (male lion/female tiger) are absolutely heckin massive, being larger than both parent species and the largest feline in the world, and are lighter in base colour (more the colour of a lion than a tiger).
Fig. 1: Liger
Tigons (male tiger/female lion) on the other hand are about the size of a tiger and more tigery orange in colouration. This is because of growth-suppressing genes that are active when inherited from a female lion, but not when inherited from a male one, and corresponding growth-promoting genes that are only active when inherited from a male. Female tigers do not have the required growth-suppressing genes to counteract the latter, so ligers get huge, but tigons don't.
Fig. 2: Tigon. Note that both are stripey.
In the case of Vulcans, the maternal copy of at least one gene that governs eyebrow pointiness is suppressed, whereas the paternal one is active. Behold:
Fig. 3: Spock, half-Vulcan with a Vulcan father, has pointy ears and pointy eyebrows (obvious usage of eyebrow liner notwithstanding).
Fig. 4: Lorian, half-Vulcan with a Vulcan mother, still has pointy ears but round eyebrows.
As you can see, the eyebrow pointiness phenotype differs depending on which parent it is inherited from, whereas the ear pointiness phenotype appears to be dominant, much like stripeyness.
tl;dr: Spock is a liger and Lorian is a tigon.
#star trek#star trek tos#star trek enterprise#spock#vulcans#I am aware that if I'm comparing stripeyness to pointy ears#then that would make spock a tigon and lorian a liger#but unfortunately#I like it better the other way#so you'll just have to deal with my inconsistent metaphors here

would you be able to give examples/explain more about how race only impacts gideon in the tlt-universe? not being facetious or condescending, genuinely asking. thank you!
Hi anon! If you mean my tags to this post, I wrote
#earth conception of race doesn't impact any character in the series except the canonically brown main antagonist
By which I mean my Worstie and main antagonist of the series, John Gaius (PhD).
I don’t think TLT as a series engages with race in any especially meaningful ways. It’s set in a post-Earth society with entirely different social norms, and there’s no concept of race and ethnicity within the population of the Nine Houses. Physical descriptions of the characters are scarce to say the least, and they rarely spell out the kind of features that suggest specific racial connotations, because the POV characters don’t seem to think it’s something worth remarking upon. iirc, it takes until halfway through HtN for the narrative to confirm that Harrow has brown skin.
[See also Tamsyn’s GtN characters description post. It quotes passages from the book, and you can see how minimal the descriptions are, and she repeats several times that her characters’ appearances are up to the readers’ interpretations. It just doesn’t seem to be a big concern of hers]
Then there’s John, who grew up in twenty-first-century New Zealand and IS explicitly Māori in a way that absolutely impacted his character arc. It's not A major theme of his Nona chapters, but it’s there if you read between the lines. The boarding school he went to, which IRL had a high percentage of low-income Māori students on scholarship. The depth of his climate anxiety, his uncompromising “Nobody left behind” stance before the cryo project was halted, and his fervent hatred of ‘the trillionaires’ afterwards... these are all informed to some extent by his background as an indigenous man imo, and so was the global reaction to his developing powers. The “We were going to put you fellas in jail, weren’t we?” the way his initial attempts at publications are all flat-out ignored by the scientific community and dismissed as culty gimmicky faith healing until he leans into it.
John being Māori is just one of the many pieces of his backstory, and far from the most impactful to what eventually went down, but my point remains that he is the ONLY character in TLT whose racial background 1) affects his story arc and 2) is relatable to the audience. Everyone else is ten thousand years removed from Earth, and I’m just not very interested in using racial identifiers when exploring these characters and their dynamics, because the characters themselves don’t care and neither does the narrative.
#on a more hashtag meta level#John is why I’m personally uneasy about any analysis of the series that tries to interpret TLT through racial allegory lenses#especially when it’s weaponised for discourse purposes#You can write meta about John’s war crimes without comparing him to white imperialism#Or you can go ahead and do that anyway but I highkey disagree that it’s a fitting metaphor or in any way deliberate on Tamsyn’s part#and I think the implications are unfortunate to say the least#That said I AM extremely interested in the ways John relates to the culture he left behind#and why he made the choices he did when it came the moment to reshape humanity’s cultural consciousness after the Resurrection#but that’s on a character level!#I don’t think we can apply twenty-first-century social / identity labels to the series as a whole#especially a series where the author says 'I imagine X character as Y but it doesn't raelly matter'#and it doesn't influence the canon directly in any way#SORRY THIS IS LONG!#anonymous#ask#ejg#tlt thoughts#elle tlt posting#tlt

Sorry but also. I love Eclipse's use of the word "suit" rather than "body". Like maybe this is just confirmation bias for me (it 100% is) but it reads as him viewing bodies more like clothes. Like it's detached from him and he can change it whenever, rather than the skin he is living within. Temporary containment rather than a permanent home. Yk? Yk???
#xero says things#sorry for always being emotional about eclipse being a trans metaphor. unfortunately i will never stop 😁👍#sun and moon show#the sun and moon show#tsams#sams eclipse#tsams eclipse#xero thoughts and rambles

To make Máté's weird headcanons more historically accurate Elisabeth das musical should've had a scene where Elisabeth demands people to bring her pictures of beautiful women and Tod meddles with it so it's just this photo 99999 times

Wild: But this place is really good.

I know Dipper got the thing on his hand(I think?) to show their relationship but how does Bill feel about wearing a ring?
Yep, Dipper's got Bill's mark on his left palm, but currently Bill doesn't have anything. Not for any particular reason! Just because he hasn't thought to - he's not used to relationships with so many reciprocal aspects.
At some point either Bill's going to have a lightbulb go off and congratulate himself on a brilliant idea, or Dipper's going to bring it up to him. And if it's the latter, and Bill's lucky, it'll be for a romantic reason, and not a 'putting his foot down' one.
#answers#So yeah currently Bill doesn't have anything showing he's 'off the market' so to speak#No malice or manipulation reasons he just never considered it#Bill's mostly used to being the one who Has Stuff and while he knows he's technically Also Dipper's#The idea of having a token displaying it was a non-idea. HE'S the guy who does the owning! And Dipper's got his thing! It's all settled!#Unfortunately just making one big public declaration then mentioning it on occassion doesn't exactly scream 'taken' to some beings#Dipper doesn't get jealous as easily as Bill does but he DOES get jealous#Most attempts people make on Bill he sort of shrugs off because Bill's made it Pretty Clear he's obsessed with Dipper#He processes that emotion differently too - more likely to be Anxious than Angry#But there are the occasions when it DOES bug him. A Lot.#Should someone make a pass at Bill that hits the right buttons? And have it somehow be related to Bill not Clearly Indicating he IS taken?#Dipper's going to be able to summon up QUITE the stern talking to#Perhaps with a side of dragging Bill bodily off to put a metaphorical or literal stamp on the bastard#Serves Him Right Dipper Says

My commitment to being IDW1-lore accurate is starting to become a debilitating compulsion, as I now find myself wondering if I would be able to insert unnecessary metaphors for pregnancy/birth into otherwise unremarkable scenes in my stories.
#squiggposting#unfortunately i now understand the appeal of birth/preg/reproduction metaphors#fuck you JRO i hate you so much

OK, so I was thinking more about that "Older Brother Mokuba-Younger Brother Seto" idea and figured out why young!younger brother Seto wanted Yugi to be his boyfriend, and it's because if Yugi married him, Sugoroku's Blue-Eyes White Dragon card would technically be his too when the old man dies and it gets passed to Yugi, and Seto, being slightly happier for not being the one having to be The Perfect Heir(tm) here, is more willing to play the long game. 8|b
Also, he challenged Yugi to a card duel for the card, lost to perfectly normal Yugi in a non-Shadow Game, and is slightly obsessed for this reason too. When he finally gets ALL his cool dragon cards, he's going to defeat you, Yugi!!!! Just watch!!!!!!!
(He does not win, but by his cool dragon cards, he is going to KEEP TRYING, and it's not just to see your stupid pretty face and your stupid pretty eyes, Yugi!!)
#yugioh#chibi rambles#is this at this point in the au rivalshipping? we just don't know#yugi muto is very tired#but also kind of amused this cute tsundere child is trying to take him down at the metaphorical kneecaps#(the tsundere tones down in time when seto starts realizing 'oh no i actually like him')#(unfortunately yugi's 'oh no he's hooooot' moment is still years off and yugi's just 'aww how cute' at the obvious crush)#(one day you'll get your day in the sun seto)#(one day)

this moment always cracks me up because ichigo tried so hard to out-tsun himself but luckily or unluckily for him orihime has not one but TWO gay best friends who are determined to wingman for her at any time, any cost because a) they love her to death b) they love him too but they will always call bullshit at his clownery and they will always take her side because that's their BESTIE!!!!
#orihime being loved by the girls and gays is soooo golden-age actresscore of her...where is her GLAAD award#you know if this was a shoujo they would have teased him outright for his feelings for her but because it's a shonen#we get?? bread?? as a metaphor for enjoying each other's company???#unfortunately orihime is like me - an ichi/ishi shipper - so chad/ishi's wingman ends up being ichigo...👀#i know that sounds devastating but he did a good job with ren/ruki i think he'll come through for them#ichihime#manga#karakura gang

Ok yes America hating the cold is funny (eh) BUT. have you considered that I like the imagery of an America sitting alone in the forest in the bleak mid-winter landscape of an east coast woods, all alone in both body and mind, agonizing over her seeming doom to be stuck in the throes of loneliness for all eternity?
#aph nyo america#aph america#i want engagement <3#secret confession i actually hate that canonically america doesnt do well in the cold#it gives too much ammo to the west coasters (villains) who can’t let my poor baby alfred be the east coast girl he truly is#also in a broader sense i feel like it creates a weird divide in both the portrayal of america and the connection he has with his country#as its representation#america is one of the most climate diverse countries in the entire world and i feel like making the REPRESENTATION OF AMERICA not be able t#handle a large majority of his country’s climate is an Odd choice and creates an unfortunate barrier between american culture#and the way it’s portrayed in hetalia#imo one of the most amazing parts of the geography of the us is its ability to be a metaphor for the american people#so insanely diverse and fundamentally different and completely irreconcilable—but it works anyways.#the land works together anyways //we// work together anyways we become one anyways despite what any and all logic dictates#what any and all logic DEMANDS#so for america to not be able to represent that cohesion + community—and in fact represent an intense and almost INNATE complete inability#to even try being accepting of and embracing our differences—is just.. not something I like + insinuates a very odd view of American cultur#my eyes are shutting as i type this im so tired#sorry if this is horribly written rip#i see this a lot in the hetalia fandom (IK I JUST DID IT IN THIS POST LMAO BUT I SWEAR I DO IT AS A JOKE; I REALLY DO APPRECIATE THE WEST#COAST AND AM FULLY AWARE OF ITS ROLE IN THE US CULTURE AND FUNCTION) where people write alfred as being almost hostilely exclusionary???#towards certain areas of america—city al who doesn’t like the country; country al who doesn’t like the newfangled cities; northerner al#who hates the southerners (because theyre poor + dont fit the author’s view of respectable people BUT THATS FOR A DIFFERENT POST);southerne#al who hates the northerners—and it’s all very gross to me. america is not—at its core—a country/culture founded on separation!! our ideals#are based on being—at our most basic—separate multi-faceted individuals who COME TOGETHER!! as one because of common ideals and love#E PLURIBUS UNUM!!!!!!#ok im done gn
