As much as I love studying Psychology, my impulsive thoughts are telling me to learn Italian & then study art history in Florence instead. I love this city so much~

#jkjkjk I love my degree! But damn being an art history student here would be SOMETHING <3 #florence #italy #studyblr #studyspo #dark academia #darkest academia #dark academia aesthetic #art history #art detail #uniblr #study inspiration #dark academism #renaissance

NGL I have STRONG opinions about digital releases omitting the letters to the editor section of older comics. I feel like the letters are a part of comic history and should be aggressively preserved.

#look i was a weirdo and loved the letters so much #so much #so fucking damn much #i still to this day mourn that we don't have them #sometimes the editors would publish blatant aggressive criticism and promise to do better on some things #it was rare but it did happen in a handful of things involving stereotypes #also there is queer history in them such as in superboy and the ravers where people wrote in about hero #asking WHY he was not interested in women and this editor had to so professionally explain that he was GAY and where they stood on it #you also got to read queer readers writing in about these queer characters and the JOY in their words is priceless #also sorry but geoff's letters are fun and stupid at the same time and are a huge insight to what his hcs were #he LOVED tiny krypto so much it likely inspired him making dex starr bc he loved the idea of a small overly powered animal #not saying that was the main reason why ofc but it is interesting that he created dex after praising that mean little mutt #i say with the most love #my venting #my rambles

This is how I imagined that one scene from The Secret History 💀

I know it was meant to be sad and a little dramatic and make us feel bad for Richard

But to me, it was beyond funny

Like okay Richard you stubborn bitch go freeze your ass off no one is stopping you 🤷‍♀️

Don’t listen to the voice that goes “This horror show will help you fall asleep, the narrator has such a nice voice” that’s the devil talking. You will be right about to drop off when the gruesome descriptions and sound design of burnt reanimated miners on a murder spree will have you sat bolt upright with the side light on

#it’s a fantastic series. it’s horror. it’s history. it’s queer.#but jesus mary and all the saints what did they DO to get that level of sound design #and then the DEER #jfc the deer #and the dead queen jesus wept #that is a horrific arc #old gods of appalachia #I love this show been here since season 1 #but god DAMN

F-14 FUN FACT OF THE DAY #11

The F-14 Tomcat was the heaviest and largest US fighter jet to fly from aircraft carriers. When full extended, it’s wingspan was nearly 64 feet wide.

The horizontal stabilizers, highlighted in green in the image above, are nearly 33 feet wide. The F-5 Tiger had a wingspan just shy of 27 feet wide which means the wingspan of the F-5 is shorter than the length of the horizontal stabilizers of the F-14.

#let that sink in a little bit #insane isn’t it?????#damn I really love airplanes #FFFOTD #F-14 FUN FACT OF THE DAY #F-14 Tomcat #f-14 is a big boy #top gun #queue can be helpful sometimes #I like planes #airplane history!#prob my favorite fun fact

nona the ninth has helped me to romanticize the impermanent which is equally healing and horrific

#its really fascinating because ive had such a vast history with losing people + moving around ive become quite desensitized #like what really was the point of me making friends in university if i leave in 3 years #and then it hit me like damn... thats life isnt it. no matter how long or short these interactions will stick with you forever #even less than a minute in a body where your souls meld you have affected each other forever. so short but the effects are until death #you can fear someone departing from you but you can never take the love away and trying to avoid it to relieve yourself of the pain-#-you might as well not live. theres no connection that is guaranteed permanent and forever. you just have to hold that moment in your heart #forever and ever. and understand that you carry interactions with you like a quilt and the goal is to become a massive fucking heirloom #chat #nona the ninth

Only Friends hierarchy of needs

(and then they need to end up together in the most mutually unhinged and codependent relationship possible a la HIStory 1: Obsessed)

#I think I like Nick so much that his delusions have started rubbing off on me fr #like I fully believe that Boston really was on the verge of falling in love with Nick in a truly possessive and unhinged way #and I too hope that BostonNick is endgame #and probably the worst of Nick's delusions that I've picked up is that Boston isn't awful and maybe his hotness really does cancel out #the fact that he's done some really problematic shit #most people have seen the HIStory series right? I feel like I was like the last one to watch them #remember history 1 obsession?? that was some good and also really insane stuff #that's the vibes that I want for BostonNick #like damn those two are so lucky that the other one is into that particular brand of crazy because if not holy shit #like Jiang Jing Teng pretending that he has memory loss to get close to Shao Yi Chen and then saying #that if he couldn't be with SYC then he would have killed him #and SYC was so into it because he felt the same way like wow these two are perfect for e/o and really shouldn't be with anyone else #b/c they're crazy fr #anyway #only friends the series #ofts

People do not portray Janeway as flirting weird enough in fics bc in canon she's saying shit like "Well be a good little rat and find us the cheese" and goading the guy she likes into arm wrestling with her.

#Janeway: Tuvok there's this guy I think I like and don't judge me but he's a holographic character. He's also married. Now-#Tuvok: [not listening. cold towel on his forehead] I'm gonna f rowup.....#Janeway looooves competition she loves banter she loves gray hair and STRONG IMMEDIATE flirty vibes #she loves doing....quirky?????? weird?? stuff. She loves...like... almost a dick-ish kind of attitude?#'The captain's a bit of a scholar on irish history' yeah of course she is - why not #Honestly Janeway deserves a fair haven boyfriend - deete that damn wife

I understand why fit viewers are upset that what fit meant as a joke is being taken seriously, but like Tubbo didn’t know that. This is miscommunication the musical!!!! What the hell is Tubbo supposed to think when fit pulls foolish aside and asks if he really wants to work with tubbo? Like that seems really serious and genuine, especially bc he had to evesdrop to hear it! Like it’s really not that deep but to qtubbo it is.

I genuinely don’t think anyone is wanting fit dead or upset with him as a character (aside from not reaching out but that’s on qtubbo too), we just take things how qtubbo takes them and qtubbo overhearing someone asking if they actually want to be his friend while he’s already insecure is hurtful.

Not everything is negative about another character, we can be angsty and say how much we wish fit would reach out and be upset over what he’s saying while still liking him and understanding that the comment was meant to be jokier then how people took it. People view characters how the characters view characters, qtubbo was hurt so we’re hurt. Fit was joking so the huevos don’t see a problem. We all gotta understand that we come from different understandings and that’s okay!!!

#why can’t we be a bit dramatic sometimes #we know our pov like other people know their streamers pov #we all are biased #there’s also so much that goes into Tubbo taking it the way he does #like sometimes you take a joke as a jab because of the history you have #Tubbo and sunny already are i secure with their relationship with morning crew #they don’t think they’re part of the family #so even a joke like that would be hurtful #like even if he took it as a joke fit is joking about his insecurities #and fit just doesn’t understand that! and that’s okay!#no one on this damn server actually talks to each other so no one would understand the main issues!!!!#this isn’t targeted I just saw some people getting upset on Twitter and wanted to share my thoughts btw #I love the fit viewers #y’all are my second favorite chat frfr #tubbo #qsmp tubbo #qsmp fitmc #fitmc #qsmp

ok i keep seeing people say that the captain must have served in WWI because of his age. Personally, I don't think he did because of how he behaves in the flashbacks in Redding Weddy (and, more obviously, his lack of medals showing a lack of involvement) but I don't think we'll ever know for sure, it doesn't seem important to his character and he hasn't made any references to anything outside of WWII let alone the first one. So just for kicks, here's a list of possible reasons the Captain didn't serve:

Reserved Occupation: conscription exempted a lot of people due to a variety of reasons and about 1/3 eligible men were exempted due to RO. Basically it means that men who were in jobs considered important could only be conscripted in a very narrow age margin (they could volunteer but they didn't have to go) such as vets, clergymen, miners (complicated situation for that one), and a variety of men who worked in engineering or industrial related jobs (including those who worked in munitions (sound familiar?))

Health: there's a whole variety of health problems that could exempt an otherwise fit man including asthma, arthritis, a rash even. It could literally have been a passing illness or a childhood problem that passed by the time WWII rolled around, just a bit of bad luck that hit him at just the wrong time (or it could have been bad knees that he lied about 20 years later)

Conscientious Objection: I don't think it's this one, that guy loves war, he wants to fight so bad, but I'm not going to just not put it here

Age: LISTEN. We don't know the Captain's canon age. At his youngest I would say he was born in 1900, putting him at 46ish when he died (the age Ben was when Ghosts first started (he could easily be older and in fact probably is idk (Ben help me out here ple-))) which would mean when the war kicked off he was 14 and conscription began he was only 16. He would have hit conscription age at 18 in 1918 which was the year the war ended. Conscription continued until 1920 but the fighting was "officially" over so they wouldn't have been calling on as many people and he might have been passed over for someone more fit, more healthy, less reserved occupationy etc. etc. I don't think it was this one either but for posterity here it is. Or he was conscripted late which would lead to

Training: This one happened to my own relative during WWI. If Cap came of age during the war, which he would have if he died anywhere between the ages of 46-50, he would have been conscripted and trained in England during the war. If the war ended while he was still in training he might never have been sent out at all despite being the right age for it. Any of the above could also have caused this - a bad rash, a nasty cough, being too young, working in a factory building ships, and so on - but it might very well have happened and would have prevented him from seeing any medal-worthy action or getting the experience needed to make him less of a nervous wreck leading to the Cap we see in Redding Weddy

To conclude: the Captain might have served in WWI but he could just as easily not have. We'll probably never know and any interpretation of his backstory is both valid and a very interesting read into his character

#long post //#fr though he's got no medals from WWI in the flashbacks that's the most damning evidence in my eyes #no one think i'm angry please i'm not i just fucking love history and theorizing about fictional men #bbc ghosts #bbc ghosts captain #redding weddy #genuinely fr i'm not vaguing anyone i am simply unwell in the head about this man

I recently saw your LudDice idea, and a new song from one of my favorite artists made a new song yesterday, and I think it works (maybe not)

Do you think that "This Is What Losing Someone Feels Like" would work (Dice singing)?

OKAY SO The lyrics from this are so perfect for their breakup in my headcanon and I'm INSANE

This was perfect thank you! Also - Thank you for this I'm so glad to see some of my moots/followers like my LudDice content!

#Mox answers #Mox's doodles #Luddice #Angst #midnightdemonz on blog #my art #mox's art #the cuphead show #king dice #ludwig cuphead #This damn ship lives rent free in my head i love these musicians #i pumped out this doodle since i had a moment i couldn't help it-#I'll be writing the fic based off their history together soon too
