I can tell I’m starting to hate my incompetent coworker because even the way she asks, β€œCan I pick your brain?” when she means β€œCan I ask you a basic question with a simple response that I simply can’t remember?” is making me absolutely bananas.

A picture of the actress Ann Miller came across my tumblr feed, and I was suddenly reminded of why I always have to say that name in the style of Minnelli

wing drawing tutorial
if anyone wants to learn to draw wings better, i wholeheartedly recommend this tutorial / wing anatomy explanation. (and i know it seems kind of long but. trust me. it's so good. i say this as someone who usually can't hold attention enough to have any patience with tutorials.)
i think it's the first thing that finally made things click for me and i am now much much happier with the wings i draw <3

I love how I always forget that Lee Winter was the fanfic writer, RedCharcoal. I keep coming back to The Staircase. A fanfic that starts with a very triggering event and eventually turns into a story of redemption and healing. I tend to read bits and pieces of it, then end up reading to the end, and I'm always surprised that she's also Lee Winter.
It's rather fitting since she's my most listened to author on Audible. Breaking Character, Hotel Queens & Requiem for Immortals are my comfort listens, especially Breaking Character. Many an audiobook I've listened to solely for Angela Dawe.

I'm one of those people who doesn't like Jackson being called a "normie" or "human" just because of how he looks. The boy is a monster. Not considering it that way is like saying that Mike Wazowski is not a monster because he fails to scare.

What is your favourite Doctor Who story?
Tumblr media Tumblr media
TOURNAMENT MASTERPOST
synopses and propaganda under the cut
City of Death
Synopsis
While taking in the sights of Paris in 1979, the Fourth Doctor and Romana sense that someone is tampering with time. Who is the mysterious Count Scarlioni? Why does he seem to have counterparts scattered through time? And just how many copies of the Mona Lisa did Leonardo da Vinci paint?
Propaganda
even if your not a classic who fan, you have seen moments from this, β€œwonderful butler, he’s so violent”, β€œyoure a beautiful woman, probably”, β€œif you wanted an omelette I’d expect to find a pile of broken crockery, a cooker in flames, and an unconscious chef”. The location shooting, iconic, the music, iconic, the plot, so iconic I was once watching something (non doctor who) that referenced it as a fake historical event. Dare I say duggan is the greatest side character of all time. Romana’s outfit, the design of scaroth, the implication time lords can fly. it’s not my favourite overall, but its damn near close, it deserves AT LEAST the semi finals, AT LEAST. If you’ve not seen it or any classic who, go watch it, its so good, one of the best of the era. Also, how could I forget, the most watched episode on broadcast out of all of doctor who, including new who. (yes it was because itv was off the air due to strikes, but im glad its this episode that holds the record) (anonymous)
Midnight
Synopsis
The Tenth Doctor and Donna Noble go to the leisure planet of Midnight for a simple, relaxing holiday. However, life with the Doctor can never be that simple, and things go horribly wrong for the Doctor when he decides to go off on a bus trip to see the Sapphire Waterfall, starting with the bus shutting down. When a mysterious entity infiltrates the shuttle bus, no one is to be trusted. Not even the Doctor himself...
Propaganda
Midnight is amazing. So thrilling. The monster was human fear and it cost the life of two innocent women. (plus two men on accident, well, more or less) And we never know what the midnight entity was. Perfect. My absolute favourite episode. The best thing is that it tricks you into liking the passengers before it slowly, slowly turns that into horror of what they're capable of. Chills every time. (Plus it's totally what inspired among us if you ask me) (anonymous)

btw if you buy something on Etsy and like it, PLEASE don't leave 4 stars. Please just go with 5 unless there's something wrong with it or the seller was rude or something. Etsy uses our star ratings to qualify or disqualify us as "star seller" and that can impact our shop, our sales, search results, standing with Etsy, etc. It's always really annoying and disheartening to see reviews like "lovely item, it's beautiful - 4 stars" because it tanks my rating for no apparent reason and I can't even fix the issue because there isn't one.
and if you bought like 5 or 10 items from one seller please please do not review them all with 4 stars unless you really have it in for the seller for some reason
just please just go with 5 stars if you like the item, every seller will appreciate it!

Fellas is it cringe to have your father to show up in the middle of production class to give you snacks and look at giveaway books and only for him and your professor to co-roast you (affectionately)?

All I'm saying is we've seen Crowley nearly cry over Aziraphale at least three times, on camera. And that's just in a 4 year span of time. I cannot be convinced that in 6,000 years of complicated feelings, pining, and obligatory angel vs demon bullshit that Crowley has never straight up cried over him.

I'll never understand so much of internet activism. Like I definitely see the value in spreading informational posts, lists of places to donate, or details on the boycott, but I'll never understand people who are like "we HAVE to keep the tags at the top of trending!!! Spam posts about Palestine!! Reblog every Palestine post you see or else you're a monster siding with the Israeli government!!!" Like ??? Who does this help. Putting #freepalestine at the top of tumblr trending tags is not going to do a damn thing for the people being bombed in Palestine are you insane. Whether or not I choose to reblog a post is not going to mean the life or death of a Gaza resident these things change NOTHING.
I see it time and time again, no matter what terrible thing is happening in another country. People on the internet become convinced that they can do something just by posting. They use guilt tactics and post spamming and sit back and think they've accomplished something. In reality while spreading info is a good thing, there is a hard limit on the amount of impact posting and reblogging can actually do for the issues we're trying to address.
This is your official pass to not feel guilty about not reblogging all those guilt-tripping posts about Palestine or any other issues, by the way. Call your representatives or donate if you can. Don't buy from the boycott companies. That's about all you can do here at home, and don't let the internet's view of activism poison your mind and make you feel undue guilt for something that doesn't matter.

so i like mixing up pc, and lor lore for darkin & shurima. it melds so well, and makes the story more cohesive than it felt before. and im not sure but i think that riot may have confirmed a lot of this to be canon anyway? eh, here we go:
ππ„π…πŽπ‘π„ 𝐓𝐇𝐄 πƒπ€π‘πŠπˆπ
a REALLY long time ago, the kingdom of shurima was at it's prime. they had this really cool sun disc, that could concentrate celestial power- and pour it into a single individual. creating what we know as the ascended. these were very powerful humans who shared features with animals. i.e nasus( jackal ), and renekton( crocodile ), and many more. this was the golden army, and-- as any nation might do when they have an all powerful army-- shurima sought to expand. and they did so under the rule of an ascendant emperor named azir.
so there was also this rlly cool nation called icathia, led by the mage king axamuk. he was as you can assume, not eager to give up. unfortunately, icathia didn't stand much of a chance against shurima. and so as a last resort; they used their magic to rip open a portal to the void. a place devoid( haha ) of all reason, all time, all space. what they didn't know, was that the voidborn would destroy EVERYTHING they touched. and so not only did shurima suffer losses, but so did icathia. and only when the land was desolate and barren-- did shurima retreat.
unfortunately, there are consequences for interacting at all with anything from the void. the ascendants who's minds were touched by the creatures would begin to go mad. threatening to turn on one another. and in a grim twist of fate, azir would be killed by one of his kin. leaving the maddening ascended on their own without any leader to guide them. enter: zolani
𝐓𝐇𝐄 π‚π‘π„π€π“πˆπŽπ πŽπ… 𝐓𝐇𝐄 πƒπ€π‘πŠπˆπ
zolani was an ascendant, who began to delve into blood magic. and found a way to use this blood magic to fix everything. this is kind of where it goes into headcanons and stuff ig people found through LoR? im just theorizing based on what i've read from various content / people's thoughts.
zolani gave other ascendants blood magic? promising that the magic would give them a great deal of power. the blood magic of course did change their forms and appearances to what we recognize now as general darkin biology. and did in fact, make them stronger. but what they didn't know, was that due to zolani's vast knowledge, and her being the source of this magic-- she could? control them?? and what was seen as a gift, turned out to be a curse.
in truth, she wanted to use the magic she gave them, to control them. which would have stopped them from trying to kill one another,
in a way i guess? this makes her an anti hero? definitely relatively good intentions done in a really fucked up way. which backfire, because they find out her aim, and mark her a traitor. so now you have a bunch of insane ascended god warriors, each one infused with VERY powerful blood magic. BIG OOF.
and BAM! thus begins the darkin war.
𝐓𝐇𝐄 πƒπ€π‘πŠπˆπ 𝐖𝐀𝐑
the darkin war nearly destroyed the world, and actually ruined parts of pretty much every continent in runterra. eventually, the aspect of twilight, came from the heavens to do something about it. creating a special weapon( the chalicar )that could harness moonlight and use it against the darkin. we know this aspect at current, as zoe. but at this time her name was myisha.
the way it worked i think is p vague. but in short: using the chalicar, they could seal the souls of these darkin into their own weapons. not killing them, as they were nigh impossible to kill-- but trapping them. of course one aspect could not do this on her own. so thats where everyone kind of comes in! with this gift, mortal races could finally fight back against the darkin.
the method wasn't perfect though. as sealing them worked fine, up until a mortal creature touches the blade. see, when a celestial creates these weapons they are very powerful. but when a mortal makes them, they're not quite as efficient. so while the darkin were in fact gone for the moment. the darkin curse was born, and now anyone who wields these weapons-- will become new physical vessels for these darkin to return to the world in.
and to make matters worse, the weapons are unbreakable.
it's interesting too, because it implies also that none of the darkin we see in game at current- are what they originally looked like. aatrox, rhaast, naafiri, to name a few, did look a bit different back int he day. and their current forms are a mesh of their new host body and their own original form.
𝐂𝐔𝐑𝐑𝐄𝐍𝐓 πƒπ€π˜
again. the few darkin we know about have hosts. some of the hosts have melded perfectly with their darkin. some were overtaken entirely, and in the case of kayn, he fights his parasite. and actually manages to keep his influence under as much control as he can manage. all things considered.
zolani's influence is also still kind of seen? i haven't looked a whole lot into vladimir, but i do recall hearing he has ties to the darkin as well.

one of my earliest memories is of my elementary school teacher explaining to us in (more or less) graphic detail how the crucifixion would have killed jesus (nails through wrists -> nails through feet with bent knees and possibly broken legs -> entire body weight supported by arms -> dislocated shoulders elbows and wrists -> arms elongated to orangutan levels -> increased pressure on ribcage) and then we went outside to do breath play on the monkey bars basickly because no one believed her when she explained that the other common method (hands above head) could kill a person even faster, probably within minutes
