probably one of the nicest looking moths I've found yet, Joseph's Coat Moth! I'm back from a trip to the northern tropics, and the wildlife did not disappoint.
Joseph's Coat Moth (Agarista agricola).

I love how BBC Ghosts once a series is like 'and here's a new flavour of Robin being the most tragic character you will ever see' and it brings me to tears every single time
#BBC Ghosts#Robin the Caveman#Lizzie watches BBC Ghosts#sort of lifeblogging#i'm sorry i am so hung up on him being sophie's friend even though she never knew#how utterly powerless he was and still he offered her companionship#and how she didn't even die at button house so she never found out#do you think her nursemaid told her in the beyond? that there was a friendly caveman whom they taught french#just because he recognised loneliness and tried to share it to make it a little less lonely#bbc ghosts spoilers

The fact that Crowley was convinced that they‘re royally f*cked in the moment Lucifer was about to turn up. He thought Satan was going to literally end them, he thought that this is it, Nice knowing you Angel but this is it. We‘re going to die here.
And then Aziraphale said Do something or I’ll never talk to you again and Crowley, despite believing that this is their end, that they won’t survive, still thought Oh sh*t no i can‘t bear that.
Because only the idea of Aziraphale never talking to him again, even though they’re apparently about to die, is so horrible that he literally stops time to avoid it. He can not die while knowing that his Angel doesn’t want to talk to him anymore.
That‘s love right there folks.
#i just saw an edit I’m sorry#the fact that people read this and understand what I mean astonishes me#like I’m so bad at explaining stuff#it’s good to know we still share a vibe though#good omens#i love them your honor#anthony j crowley#aziraphale#ineffable husbands#ineffable partners

fiber art adventures in egypt
I recently got back from a trip to Egypt & finally got around to organizing some pictures to share. One of the things I was most excited about was seeing what I could find on fiber arts and textiles.
Dropping everything under a read more, 'cause this will be a long post haha
first visit: the National Museum of Egyptian Civilization (NMEC)
At the time of visiting, they had a special textiles exhibit. It covered Pharonic Egypt all the way up to modern times, although I only had time to check out the dynastic & a bit of the Coptic portion of the exhibit (which was what I was really hoping to see anyways)
Was super excited to see this diorama in person. I knew about it but had never seen good pictures of it. From the little I've seen of ancient Egyptian spinning, spinning with two spindles seems to be the norm rather than a master technique? It also shows up in tomb art, which the exhibit also shared:
They also used a different fiber preparation (splicing to create a rove of fiber, no traditional drafting to my understanding) so that probably made a difference? Regardless I really want to see if I can replicate the technique, especially because their spindles look so similar to modern spindles??
I took so many pictures of spindles, guys, and I fully intend to either have a few replicas made or to learn to make some myself. Also, although they were unlabeled... I'm pretty sure those are beaters for weaving? That was a bit of a trend with this trip, so much stuff was unlabeled :( I would've killed to at least get some date estimates for some of the stuff they had on display. I was nerding out in here though, and my family took a few pictures of how excited I was getting. A bit embarrassing, but eh haha
The exhibit also had a section on natural dyes used with a fun visual;
There was several diagrams specifically describing each dye source, but in the interest of not overloading on pictures I'll just list them out. For blues; woad, Yellows; turmeric, safflower, saffron, or yellow ochre; reds; madder, henna, pomegranate, and kermes. I originally thought kermes was another way to say cochineal, but it only seems to be distantly related.
next visit: Ramses Wissa Wassef Art Center
A small art center dedicated to hand-weaving wool and cotton tapestries. All of their work was museum quality & awe inspiring!!
Was even invited to their back rooms to watch a few of their weavers working; no I don't have room to put a room-sized loom anywhere but heck do I want one now
Our guide that took us through talked a bit about the natural dyes they use (all of their dyes are dyed in house with what they grow in their dye garden!!!) and got excited to hear I was also interested in natural dyes! He seemed a bit disappointed I'd never worked with indigo and. while indigo scares me, I'll take it as a sign that maybe I should try some time this year haha.
final visit; the Egyptian Museum
we really had to rush through this one which was a huge shame because it's packed full of artifacts. Also, the lighting in there is atrocious, so apologies for the not great pictures ahead.
They had a fascinating display of textile tools, more than what the NMEC had;
(Hand for size reference) I want all of these spindles! So badly! But a few of them look so much like a few of the spindles I own already?? A few of them had a spiraling notch, that's so cool? But also, what's going on with the one with two whorls? I have no idea. I'm fascinated.
Look at these whorls!! Although again, I'm a bit confused; the lack of labeling strikes again. Unsure why some of these "whorls" have two holes, or what the metal object with the wooden handle is. The display implies sewing needles, and some of them do look like it, but others.... really don't look like sewing needles. I'm absolutely enchanted by this little whorl though. I think it has birds on it?
More objects that I'm baffled by- the signage doesn't really indicate what some of this stuff is, if it's even known. Also confused by the object wrapped in white string in the right pic; it looks like a distaff but to the best of my knowledge the (ancient at least) Egyptians didn't use distaffs. It probably popped up in later times and was put in this display since it was still relevant, but I'm still not sure.
I have so many more pictures & thoughts but I'll save those for more specific future projects. I've been doing research outside this trip on ancient Egyptian spinning techniques and desperately want to go deeper into that, this trip just solidified how excited it makes me. If you made it all the way through this, many thanks for reading!
Bonus; look at this ancient linen 🥺
#hand spinning#archaeology#extant artifact#weaving#fiber arts#long post#letters from skylark#sorry for the overall low quality images in this post. Got a new camera and wasn't the best at using it this trip#also the raw image files were huge so I heavily downsized them to make sure this post wasn't a beast to load#would be happy to share the raw images if desired though

To be clear, I'm not going anywhere. I love this community, and although I'm disappointed seeing how certain things have been handled, I still believe in the objective of QSMP: uniting communities and people from all around the world and breaking down language barriers.
Regardless of what happens next, or whether people choose to step away from the series or not, QSMP gave many content creators and their communities a platform to meet other people and make those first cross-cultural connections and friendships. The positive ripple-effects from that aren't going away anytime soon.
#mod talk#I dunno. I guess the final message here is I'm sorry we're all feeling sad and I'll try to help people as best I can#I think I will still share old clips but I might take a bit of a break today#I'm happy to hear your guys' feedback and thoughts though!#I want to hear how certain CCs respond before I decide on sharing new clips

(late) for gonta week day 3: friendship/promise!!
because i am biased towards my faves i think about gonta and kaede postgame friendship often…. they both promised to end it, promised to keep everyone safe, but at least for now they can promise to be there for each other (and to get some rest)
plus more friends yayyyy i want them to hang out!!!
@gontagokuhara-week
#danganronpa#danganronpa v3#gonta gokuhara#kaede akamatsu#kiibo#miu iruma#kaito momota#himiko yumeno#gontagokuharaweek2024#i absolutely jumped at the chance to draw silly character interaction btw HFGDHJFGHJD#even though kaede's a little bit rude to him in the ftes....... i will cut her some slack they literally just met#kaede could listen to him talk about bugs she could love a bug......#she could understand him way better postgame after their shared trauma & shared sense of guilt like they shouldve done better.......#he tearfully apologizes to her for not keeping their friends safe & shes like you don't have a single thing to be sorry about i should be-#and he's like no you don't either. and they hug

i find it super interesting how, when Near's team is questioning Mello's statement about Shinigami existing, Mello doesn't say anything about it. he doesn't react, he doesn't try to argue or further convince Near - he just stares at Near, waiting for him to comment, and then carries on talking after Near announces that he believes him. like he knows that Near is going to trust him first and foremost, no matter what Rester and Gevanni say, and he's just waiting for Near to explain his reasoning so they can move on.
#sorry i'm rereading the manga so there is a high chance i'm going to be insufferable about little details like this#honestly though i'm just so fascinated by their dynamic here#because aside from mello pointing his gun at near & the comment he makes at the end#it doesn't feel like a confrontation between rivals so much as two old acquaintances sharing information#meronia#nate river#mihael keehl

ROTTMNT Theory: Donatello's Hidden Role
After rewatching ROTTMNT (shorts and movie included), I realized something about Donnie's character that I've hardly seen anyone mention, and I'm going to talk about it in depth here.
I'll assume you've already watched the series and dive right in, but spoiler warning under the cut in case you care about that.
Let me start with something seemingly off topic. Raph is the oldest of the four brothers, which landed him the responsibility of keeping his younger siblings safe when their father was unavailable. (Not trying to bash Splinter. He's gradually grown to be a better parent later on, but you can't deny he was fairly neglectful in the beginning of the series)
The constant pressure Raph went through was brought up in the episode "Anatawa Hitorijanai", and then the movie showed he still struggles with it now.
He's constantly shouldering the burden of being their family's sole protector, but is this the truth? What if I told you there are actually two protectors in the family? And that the other one was Donnie all along?
When you look closely, Donnie is surprisingly protective of his loved ones. I did a tally of how often each brother exhibits what could be protective behavior, and Donnie was in second place (29) after Raph (35). Some of these choices are debatable, but here's a bunch of examples as pictures.
Would you believe me if I told you I still have a couple smaller examples I had to leave out due to the picture limit? And that's not even including the few moments where Donnie and Raph ever-so-subtly parallel each other.
All things considered, Donnie and Raph aren't so different. Raph is the primary protector who faces the threats head-on with his physical strength, while Donnie is the secondary protector who tends to use more distant methods with his tech and wit. However, when push comes to shove, Donnie will also step up to take direct action when he deems it necessary.
They may be the brains and the brawn, but they both use their respective skills to defend and support their family.
#analysis#rise donnie#rottmnt#Donatello#Raphael#Sorry in advanced if the pictures have trouble loading#But seriously#I would love to see more of Donnie and Raph's dynamic if we get season 3!#Interestingly enough Donnie seems to be the least outwardly protective of Leo#Maybe the sibling rivalry makes him too prideful to show it as much#even though we know his protective instincts definitely extend to Leo as well#Alternatively there are a couple clues pointing toward Donnie seeing Leo as intelligent#so maybe he has a little faith in that?#The disaster twins are complex to say the least#I actually have quite a few extra examples I could share#but some of them are more debatable than others#I changed the tag from 'theory' to 'analysis' but I'm keeping the title the same

actually the best part of an AU where Annatar simply does not revert to evil, but does eventually admit to having been evil, is if he stays on good terms with Khazad-Dum forever and one day in the mid-Third Age the dwarves palantir-call him like, “Hey, Annatar, we think we found one of your old guys? Could you come get them out of our mineshaft?”
Celebrimbor, leaning over Annatar’s shoulder: ‘One of his old guys’ as in a Maia, or as in an evil monster?
Dwarves: Yes. That is, it killed Durin, and the survivors of his party say it was a nightmare of fire and darkness.
Annatar: We’ll be right there.
Annatar a couple days later, peering down a deep, deep mineshaft both physically and spiritually: Holy shit, it’s Dave. [to Celebrimbor] Star-gem, stand back. Everyone else, too. [leans further down the shaft] HEY, DAVE, KNOCK IT OFF! I’M TRYING TO RUN A FAIR AND STABLE GLOBAL ECONOMY UP HERE!
#lotr#second age shenaniganry#annatar#sauron#celebrimbor#listen I’m sorry but the only logical conjunction of ‘sauron maia of math’ and ‘still seeks world domination but is being polite about it’#is 100% ‘sauron creates/encourages globalized economy controlled by him’#though in that au that I haven’t finished writing I’m not actually sure they build a new ost-in-edhil or anything#traveling magicians inventors advisors to kings…and sometimes that thing baru did on that one island with shares in the local crop…#also a balrog now I guess

The old fears, but I’m here (through the long night with you)
posally | T | 1.5k | could be canon
for @pjoseries because we're side by side in the trenches
Thunder claps, deafening.
Her ears ring.
Through half-opened eyes and hot tears, she sees the water recede too far back too quickly.
Thunder. Rain. The water creeps further back.
And then it falls.
or, sally doesn't call, but poseidon comes anyway.
