My favorite story trope must be "(surpressed) minority of people with special ability", closely followed by "gay".
Just "gay".
That's it.
#I think my obsession with my number one trope started with#miss peregrines home for peculiar children#then came the book series#young elites#followed by the#market of monsters#webtoon series#vicious & vengeful#by V.E Schwab the market of monsters book series and last but not least#xmen#update: the movie#the darkest minds#which I recently watched also fits that trope...

wait do you have a fav boys character yet ?
i really like butcher but i feel like that's a basic answer and also the wrong answer. in another world id like frenchie but i can't get over how much i hate the actor. I love maeve theres never a moment she's on screen where im thinking get this woman outta here she's always entertaining to me. i like starlight but (and this is probably a bit nasty to say) there's smth a little uncanny valley about her sometimes where when she's talking im not listening but staring at her face trying to see what features throwing me off. I hate ashley but the actress played an insufferable character in jessica jones too and I really appreciate her ability to play The Most annoying woman you know.
centrist answer i like them all (except stormfront. hated her before i even knew she was a nazi. she was on insta live and i was waiting for her to explode and die) but my fave would have to be butcher bc i find im rooting for him the most and constantly justifying his actions. but sometimes karl urbans accent pisses me off. also black noir but he doesn't Do anything so it's hard to have him as a fave bc he's barely there.
#ameeras.got.mail#kieran tag#ik men like soldier boy so ill wait to see him do some evil disgusting horrendous thing that would make most ppl go ew he sucks but make#cis men ages 18-35 go wow hes soo cool#i like kimiko too but i dont think im allowed to say shes my fave when sometimes when shes like i dont want to be a weapon anymore :( im#mad at her and thinking get over it. i like mm but hes kinda this mother hen character and i dont rly tend to favour characters who are the#rational voice of reason like can we please get some conflict here#hughies whatever. i rly like his dad though lets go simon pegg#in the 7: homelander sucks. i find a train fun but his athlete storyline wasnt compelling to me personally bc the more i thought about it#the more i thought his superpower sucks. despite it all i find the deep kinda fun. i like that hes a scientologist.#didnt like transparent. was meh about lamplighter. didnt like whats his name sonicboom?? had a personal vendetta against that hijabi supe#we saw for like 2 seconds girl what are you doing there !!!!!! why are you playing into the diversity market !!!!#like edgar but in the way everyone likes giancarlo esposito's characters#nadia is whatever she was always meh to me even as a background character but i rly love the idea of having the superpower to explode#peoples heads with your mind i cant help but think of the xmen and think about if there was a mutant with the ability to explode heads with#their mind and that was their only ability and what a hard fucking sell that would be for xavier#(ive never read the xmen comics and have only seen some of the movies so i like to imagine charles xavier as lilo in the lilo and stitch#cartoon where every episode she would find an experiment with a unique function to destroy and would have to find it a home where it could#help instead. like yeah this experiment fattens people up and eats them lets put him in a resturant or smth#but with mutants#this mutant makes ice lets send him to a fridge company. this mutant explodes heads lets.... erm.#)

People refusing to make an effort when you're making one specifically for them is argh
#like#i ask you if you want to go to the Christmas market which is something YOU wanted to do#you know my schedule and know i have work#you know this is an effort to spend time with you#i could just pop over to yours or invite you to a café or something#instead I'm planning an expedition to cater to you (which i don't mind! but i do hope some of my stuff can be taken into account too)#and you ask me to do the research#and then say 'i don't want to go far from home because i have work :('#YES SO DO I#IF I CAN MAKE THAT EFFORT SO CAN YOU#it takes me an hour at least to go to yours. add the time for the market#and to get back#that's four hours#aka an entire afternoon#also if i specifically stay longer to see you because we said we'd meet up#and you say 'sorry I'm coming late :( i didn't want to wake up early :(('#yeah well everyone else made that effort and woke up early#the organisers of the event have been there since 8 am#everyone came at 9#and you're just 'i'll come at 2 pm because i wanted to sleep in'#SO DID WE#YOU'RE NOT THE ONLY ONE HERE#rant

eyrie has a lot of…delayed? or better yet repressed grief and anguish that comes back during their recovery in Sharlayan. There’s nothing for them to do for a long while other than lay in bed while being tended to; a lot of quiet time. Not much alone time, but not a lot of movement; they get time to sit in their thoughts and it’s….a mire, really. There was no time in Ultima Thule to feel angry or frustrated—to grieve for the companions they thought lost and to gain them back. It’s the worst sort of whiplash. This on top of the physical pains—the limitations of their vision and the frustrations. Old hurts dragged to the surface.
So Eyrie struggles. A great deal of panicked waking up—screams in the middle of the night in the Leveilleur estate. Uncontrollable crying and unable to express why; the sort of crying where they would end up unable to breathe from the rattling in their lungs, their head screaming in pain. It was concerning enough to wonder if something had happened in Ultima Thule, or the confrontation with the Endsinger had maliciously or unknowingly done something to harm them. (Alisaie thought it all nonsense and they were utterly grief stricken—just in an immense amount of pain and struggling to deal with it.)
#i dunno they do get quote unquote better#they think about fordola wondering how they carry so much pain and grief and wonder how they do it too#Alisaie spends a lot of time with them#when they get well enough to leave the house she takes them places#sometimes it’s just to the fountain outside the estate#or down to the market for the week. tea at the last stand#it becomes an unspoken commitment. a repayment of sorts#for all the times they looked after her. she was going to look after them for once#feel like I’m hammering home a point here but. EW has been on my mind so much ajsjsjsk#me having watched the ending cutscenes three times now <3#oc: eyrie kisne#owen ffxiv spoilers

i hate how i build people up in my mind to be something other than themselves and then see them again eventually and of course they are humanly completely and utterly themselves and not the person i convinced myself that i missed
#like way to make the loneliest worse it’s not even that there’s someone you want to see let alone who wants to see you#i went to dinner with high school friends tonight and it was as shit as expected#i wasn’t in the group chosen to go the super market so went for a walk round the block in the rain with the other two not chosen ones which#was frankly the nicest part of the evening and then literally me and one person cool#cooked for everyone and then they all ate whilst we cooked up more for us cause there was none left over and then they gunned through all#the food whilst we were getting through our first meal and then we washed up and they watched tv and we didn’t even end up watching a movie#so it was just all this discussion that reminds me that I didn’t have the shared experiences they did all the time and then we went home#and I tried so hard and asked so many questions even though this has genuinely been one of the biggest weeks within a massive month and#actually really challenging entire year so far and no one asked me anything much other than general small talk and platitudes that it’s#simply not okay to respond to with everything that’s bubbling in my mind so yeah. ew.#and I thought I missed them but it’s was just like it always is and I feel worse every time I go :///#but i want to have the close friendships I used to have if not with these guys again then with someone new but idk it’s all so complicated#anyways

I just spent some time scrolling through this blog and am suffering from sever laughter. Thanks so much for collating the countries craziest moments. One of my favourites is when Scott Morrison was in Hawaii while the bushfires where burning.
December 2019: As Australia's east coast is engulfed in the worst bushfires in living memory, rumours begin to circulate that Australia's Prime Minister Scott Morrison may have secretly fucked off for a holiday in Hawaii.
Keep in mind, this is what is going down in Australia at the time:
The Hawaii rumour is initially written off as a fringe conspiracy, because surely nobody could be that fuckin tonedeaf, and it was quickly forgotten about... until an Australian man visiting Hawaii UPLOADED A SELFIE ON THE BEACH WITH THE PM THROWING A SHAKA.
At which point all hell broke loose.
Overnight the formerly popular "Scomo" became the most despised man in all of Australia. Think "firefighters shouting out of their windows to news cameras" level of despised.
After about two days of radio silence and pretending like he was still at home running the country, the Prime Minister's handlers finally dragged him onto call with an Australian radio station, where he pinky promised to return to Australia as fast as he could in an attempt to calm things down.
Unfortunately Scott's empathy consultant (a real job) then had to watch Scott pour more gasoline on the dumpster fire by uttering the now famous phrase "Look I don't hold a hose mate" when asked by the radio interviewer why the fucking fuck the fuckhead wasn't fucking in Australia doing his fucking job during a massive fucking crisis.
Testing just how much worse things could get, Scomo then proceeded to NOT rush back to Australia as promised, instead attempting to complete the rest of his holiday, a fact that was exposed when a passerby snapped a picture of him still lounging on the beach two days later.
Eventually, holiday complete, Morrison did reluctantly slink back to Australia, and in an attempt to calm things down, he decided to pay a visit to a small town that had been destroyed by the fires.
Which was a big mistake.
Scomo still had not registered how absolutely and totally he had screwed the poodle with his Hawaiian beach vacation, and he walks into what is now taught in PR classes as one of the greatest examples of "what not do do in a crisis" in all of history.
Scotty from Marketing, as he is now dubbed by the nation, spends a painfully cringe-inducing hour wandering around a burned down town with TV news cameras in tow, having to FORCE PEOPLE TO SHAKE HIS HAND in what is some of the most awkward footage you will ever see.
At this point it's probably also worth mentioning that, before becoming Prime Minister, Scott Morrison's biggest claim to fame in politics was being the guy that was so far up the coal lobby's arse that he literally brought coal into parliament and waved it around, claiming it doesn't hurt people.
So when a protest was organised it turned out to be one big national fuck you to the Prime Minister, the likes of which the world has never seen before or since.
Needless to say, at this point Scomo's career was dead in the water, but thanks to the rules brought in to stop Australian political parties from knifing their leader every two weeks (a popular Aussie passtime) Morrison basically couldn't get fired until after the next election.
And so, when the election rolled around in 2022, we decided that was an opportune time to travel over to Hawaii to erect this bad boy tribute to the Prime Minister, on the very beach where Scomo had sat and drank margaritas that one fateful week in December as Australia burned (thanks to @chaser for funding the ticket)

working with my sister is great bc when I remember that I have in fact had her read things I've written/read things I've written to her/talked through story things with her before, I realize I can pick her brain a bit. expecially on slow work nights. xP
for instance, last night or night before, while I went into the clean room & she did adhd-nightmare computer training I left her with two questions: other names for Luke to give his dog (bc the more I look at it the less I like my first draft doggo name) & 'hey, so [character] didn't intend to keep people from dying, but that's what's happening & I am having a Hell Of A Time figuring out why'
& now antagonist has a why AND a new how, & I have a list of potential names for the doggo
now if I could just start writing again, it'd be perfect
#xP#pepsi talks#ignore me#I just.#have very few irl people I can talk to about writing things#& have gone totally silent outside of reactions in the one writing discord I'm still in whoops#but then realized 'sister is Right There ask her'#& we only really see each other during the day when we've Intentionally planned shit#like groceries/flea market#or we don't go straight home after work in the morning#& 'hey I should ask her this before going to bed' is never on my mind after work#unless it's related to work/later plans#okay posting now & going back to GD&DF doc#I have potential city names! finally!

can you talk about moss poaching i'm actually really curious
How can I refuse! Absolutely!!! It sounds kind of ridiculous, but it's actually very sad.
So, let's start off with some numbers. Every year, the moss black market is estimated to garner up to $165 million for trafficking approximately 82 million pounds of moss.
I cannot even wrap my mind around how much moss that is.
You might ask, why does moss poaching exist and why is it so lucrative? Well, the quality that has made mosses the prey of an illegal trade is simply their aesthetic appeal. Soft, velvety, and moist, mosses are extremely pleasant to the touch and calming to look at. Some people are willing to pay large amounts of money to collect them and put them in private gardens. However, most of the mosses that move in this underground black market are actually sold to companies/wholesalers for use in potting/gardening soil, plant nurseries, decor, and as craft materials. The majority of the preserved mosses in your run-of-the-mill chain craft store, planters, floral wreaths, or very-much-dead living wall decorations are gathered illegally, bleached to death, and then dyed green. This goes for a lot of prepackaged peat moss and soil mix blends as well.
Even though it is illegal to gather moss in public places (in the US, at least), people still harvest it. Why? Probably because there's a fair amount of money to be made and the consequences are very rarely enforced, and when they are, they are quite light--usually a $50 fine at worst if you're caught. Most of this black market moss is actually poached from the national park system, with Appalachia and the Pacific Northwest usually being the hardest hit regions.
Mosses play vital roles in many ecosystems, provide homes for threatened species, regulate water distribution in forests, and help with erosion, so their loss is a terrible blow. Additionally, moving such large quantities of mosses from one location to another may spread unwanted, invasive hitchhikers, like insects that lay their eggs in the plants, or even seeds and spores.
I'll end on this thought:
It can take 20 years for a small patch of moss removed from a fallen tree to grow back with the right moisture conditions.
How long would it take to regrow 82 million pounds?
