Unrelated: A lot of people think they'd be mages in a fantasy setting but don't know anything about math or programming in their current lives.
The world they already live in has a magic system and they just neglect it. They consider it boring or impenetrable.
Honestly I kind of sympathize since school is usually horrible at teaching that kind of thing but still. The most wizard-coded people are the ones who Understand Math.
#to be clear I am not one of those people#I know only as much math as I need since I tend to quickly forget any that I don't routinely use#and re-learn anything I need as it becomes necessary again#I'm more of a rogue really#100#1k#2k

Prompt 131
Okay, so first of all Dan would like to say it’s not his fault. Ellie was the one to bring some unknown object into the speeder and Jazz was the one driving. Or had Sam been driving- didn’t matter! It wasn’t his fault, he wasn’t the one shooting at them, he wasn’t the one to break whatever, he was not the one to open a stupid portal, and so it wasn’t his fault!
So why is he now like, five years old, and why is the speeder crashed in some sort of corn field. Why is everyone- except for Jazz whose now like six- also like three at most?! And- oh fuck the door just opened and… okay that’s a kid. Like, nine at most.
A kid and an adult, who he hadn’t noticed at first so again, it’s not his fault if he hissed at them and tried to hide his not-siblings behind him. It’s also not fair they’re apparently stuck to ghost speak for who knows how long, but at least they can understand the people.
“Martha, get some blankets, it’s happened again!”
#dcxdp#dpxdc#prompts#What is up with the Kents cornfield that a spaceship with alien children has crashed there twice#Clark: Omg am I an older brother now?? What does an older brother do??#He's going to be so excited when the kids start flying too#Clark: I have eight whole siblings now!#The Kents will end up the most experienced couple in raising superpowered children#Clark: This is Jazz and Dan and Tucker and Danny and Sam and Valerie and Ellie and I love them#The Kents now have two ships hidden on their property lol#and a green glowing dog of some sort that came with one group#the phamily actually get to be kids and don't Have to be vigilantes or are parentified or anything and it's... actually kind of nice#It's peaceful#Ellie definitely doesn't hide the fact she's a clone#They're very limited when re-learning how to talk human language again#so they say some rather concerning things without giving any context for it#not that it isn't concerning even with context anyway lol#Ma and Pa kent nearly cry when they hesitantly ask if their names can be kent too#Clark cries when he goes to metropolis because the kids all cling and try to get him to stay

having the whitest problem on earth: my dad got some already antique balinese masks at an estate sale 40 years ago and officially made them my problem by hiding them in a box of other masks he gave me and now i have to call museums asking who can take them because it turns out they are priceless cultural items. thanks dad.
#some followers may remember my posting about this years ago#i have just had them sitting in a box since that point because#wtf do you do with a pair of 100 year old demon-fighting ritual masks that aren't yours#you put them in a box and say 'i do not see it' is what#until your roommates say 'please get rid of the haunted masks'#and you re-google the haunted masks and learn their actual value#and your computer crashes when you google the haunted masks#making your roommate reiterate that you really need to get rid of the haunted masks#so anyway that's my sunday#(no i do not believe the masks are actually haunted)

Humans are so cute. They think they can outsmart birds. They place nasty metal spikes on rooftops and ledges to prevent birds from nesting there.
It’s a classic human trick known in urban design as “evil architecture”: designing a place in a way that’s meant to deter others. Think of the city benches you see segmented by bars to stop homeless people sleeping there.
But birds are genius rebels. Not only are they undeterred by evil architecture, they actually use it to their advantage, according to a new Dutch study published in the journal Deinsea.
Crows and magpies, it turns out, are learning to rip strips of anti-bird spikes off of buildings and use them to build their nests. It’s an incredible addition to the growing body of evidence about the intelligence of birds, so wrongly maligned as stupid that “bird-brained” is still commonly used as an insult...
Magpies also use anti-bird spikes for their nests. In 2021, a hospital patient in Antwerp, Belgium, looked out the window and noticed a huge magpie’s nest in a tree in the courtyard. Biologist Auke-Florian Hiemstra of Leiden-based Naturalis Biodiversity Center, one of the study’s authors, went to collect the nest and found that it was made out of 50 meters of anti-bird strips, containing no fewer than 1,500 metal spikes.
Hiemstra describes the magpie nest as “an impregnable fortress.”
Pictured: A huge magpie nest made out of 1,500 metal spikes.
Magpies are known to build roofs over their nests to prevent other birds from stealing their eggs and young. Usually, they scrounge around in nature for thorny plants or spiky branches to form the roof. But city birds don’t need to search for the perfect branch — they can just use the anti-bird spikes that humans have so kindly put at their disposal.
“The magpies appear to be using the pins exactly the same way we do: to keep other birds away from their nest,” Hiemstra said.
Another urban magpie nest, this one from Scotland, really shows off the roof-building tactic:
Pictured: A nest from Scotland shows how urban magpies are using anti-bird spikes to construct a roof meant to protect their young and eggs from predators.
Birds had already been spotted using upward-pointing anti-bird spikes as foundations for nests. In 2016, the so-called Parkdale Pigeon became Twitter-famous for refusing to give up when humans removed her first nest and installed spikes on her chosen nesting site, the top of an LCD monitor on a subway platform in Melbourne. The avian architect rebelled and built an even better home there, using the spikes as a foundation to hold her nest more securely in place.
...Hiemstra’s study is the first to show that birds, adapting to city life, are learning to seek out and use our anti-bird spikes as their nesting material. Pretty badass, right?
The genius of birds — and other animals we underestimate
It’s a well-established fact that many bird species are highly intelligent. Members of the corvid family, which includes crows and magpies, are especially renowned for their smarts. Crows can solve complex puzzles, while magpies can pass the “mirror test” — the classic test that scientists use to determine if a species is self-aware.
Studies show that some birds have evolved cognitive skills similar to our own: They have amazing memories, remembering for months the thousands of different hiding places where they’ve stashed seeds, and they use their own experiences to predict the behavior of other birds, suggesting they’ve got some theory of mind.
And, as author Jennifer Ackerman details in The Genius of Birds, birds are brilliant at using tools. Black palm cockatoos use twigs as drumsticks, tapping out a beat on a tree trunk to get a female’s attention. Jays use sticks as spears to attack other birds...
Birds have also been known to use human tools to their advantage. When carrion crows want to crack a walnut, for example, they position the nut on a busy road, wait for a passing car to crush the shell, then swoop down to collect the nut and eat it. This behavior has been recorded several times in Japanese crows.
But what’s unique about Hiemstra’s study is that it shows birds using human tools, specifically designed to thwart birds’ plans, in order to thwart our plans instead. We humans try to keep birds away with spikes, and the birds — ingenious rebels that they are — retort: Thanks, humans!

A-Qing, the little fox.
#better drawn mdzs#mdzs#a-qing#I needed to draw her happy one last time#i also really wanted to try my hand at drawing Hanfu. Clothing is still hard for me but I learned a lot!#the process was 1) get idea from the fox hairpin extra 2) thumbnail 3) look up references 4) accept that this is nearly an impossible task#5) do it anyways. For A-Qing#It has also been a while since the last better drawn mdzs. I've been getting better! B*)#I chickened out of having this be a ‘draw this in your style’ prompt….Perhaps in the future!#I want to improve a little more first I think. Psychically beaming my beloved mutuals to re-kick off DTIYS in my stead#I adore how A-Qing is associated with foxes! She is cleaver and quick to adapt! A trickster in many regards!#There is absolutely more to analyze here but I'm not well versed about Chinese mythology

the "argos is part of the superhero team" thing is soooo funny, because it is so ridiculous and he looks so out of place and I'm sure it's super awkward for everyone involved and very difficult to explain. But it DOES make sense. And I totally believe it. It's just a really funny and awkward situation.
(I mean, what else is Ladybug going to do with him? Initiate battle with him (and by extension, Ryuko) to pry his miraculous from him? And then what? She seems to believe none of the miraculouses should be kept in the same place.... so who would she give it to? Whoever wields it will instantly learn that Adrien and Felix and Kagami are sentimonsters from a glance at their rings. Whoever wields it will automatically become privy to the horrors. Whoever wields it has the ability to murder her boyfriend in a split second if they choose to not value his life. Whoever wields it will have to be given a long ethics class on the treatment and value of sentimonsters and life etc etc etc.... a class that can only be meaningfully taught by like... felix himself?)
but yeah it's pretty funny
#also just a side note— I've seen people say that argos will learn chat noir's identity from it but I don't think so?#I think the magic that shields their identities also magically shields the rings#they aren't technically on chat noir's finger. they're in like.... plagg's magical hammerspace where he keeps adrien's schoolbag and shoes#this is also why I think Chat Blanc survived the explosion btw. you can't cataclysm something that isn't physically there#to be fair it is POSSIBLE and it'd be interesting to see fanworks depicting it! but i personally dont expect it from canon tbh#ml spoilers#ml s5 spoilers#ml s5 finale spoilers#re-creation spoilers#ml re-creation#recreation spoilers#ml recreation#everything felix is just so funny to me. what a funny guy. what a little twerp who gets in such weird situations. good for him

if doctors looked for hypermobility in children you could give them appropriate physical therapy exercises from a young age as their muscles grow, orthotics to correct leg/foot placement, and where necessary additional support like professional k-tape application or other mobility aids before you obtain essentially permanent overtraining injuries from your poor muscles trying their best to stop you comedically collapsing into a pile of bones
but no it's just growing pains. kids don't have things wrong. it'll go away
#i'm also bitter because i have tibial tosion (my tibias grew rotated instead of straight)#this makes my feet point inwards aka pigeon toe#and because kids don't have pain. or whatever. nobody even FUCKING noticed untl i was 17#if anybody bothered before i could have had orthotics that wouod have gradually eased my bones back into the correct position#while they were still malleable#by 17 it was too late for that and the only option would have been breaking my legs#twisting them#and putting them back with a plate in the middle#and then re-learning how to walk#i did not do that

vaggie, miss "im not used to fighting with long hair" who's out of practice actually battling someone or really stabbing ppl...
...still had the arm and hand strength, the REFLEXES, to do a bare handed blade catch on a SWORD, who's user had been doing an aerial dive with it aimed at vaggie's FACE
then sling around and THROW her opponent with it
i know she wants a peaceful-ish life with charlie, but i really wouldn't mind seeing her getting into just a FEW more fights >:D
also also side note:
carmilla was able to eff her up earlier so easily bc vaggie fought like an exorcist, no thought to getting hurt or personal defense, the headspace of 'i can't get killed! wheee! DIE DIE DIE' that got that other exorcist killed
and the main advice vaggie got from carmilla was take advantage of that sure, but first and more importantly, defend yourself better
which kinda plays into the whole "be out for love thing" too
aka the fight isn't important, it's what you're fighting to still have Afterwards that matters- the people you love, having a life with them
(the hotel, the hazbins, charlie)
carmilla doesn't send vaggie off with a 'you're ready to go kill angels'. she's only satisfied and ends their little lesson / sparring match when she can say "you might just survive this"
feels like she wasn't teaching vaggie to take out angels. she was reminding her and showing her how NOT to get KILLED
so it's just so nice seeing vaggie blocking, dodging, and grappling lute later. how good she is at focusing on avoiding or neutralizing those attacks aimed at her. how Seriously she takes them
binding lute's both lute's arms and wedging them into her own body so lute's sword CAN'T be angled towards her
the way this shot emphasis's the THREAT of the sword hanging over vaggie
and how her flash-fast recovery and block shows she's READY for it
dodging, not attacking
she's not in this for blood or vengeance, this lady is trying to stay the fuck alive. she's got things and people to live for
things like the idea of mercy. that thing both her and charlie show their enemies, people who came down to hell for murder and spent this fight trying to kill them and got damn close to doing it.
and sure there's a pretty big tone difference between charlie's "Whoa whoa dad. He's had enough" and vaggie's "No, live. Live knowing that you only do because I let you" but both end at the same place, with someone who hates them still getting a second chance
(UNLESS ITS NIFFTY WITH THE ANGELIC BLAAADE)
and vaggie wants that second chance too. she wants a life with charlie, and fights hard so she can stick around for it
epic fail, lute... have you considered getting a hobby...?
#hazbin hotel#vaggie#carmilla carmine#chaggie#lute hazbin hotel#*dreamy sigh*#carmilla as best hell mom im sorry ladies she is So Cool#and the action in that little fight with lute was so fast and brutal#vaggie was clearly using specific BLOCKS and GRAPPLES as well as just clocking lute in the face with the odd radio#she might be (happily) out of practice generally speaking#but she's still got the experience#and she learned Quick how to fend off a SWORD while unarmed#A. SWORD.#she didn't even have her wings out for it#charlie forgive me for re-watching your gf getting beat up so many times- but she really /was/ pretty impressive about it#im like 90% sure there was broken ribs and internal bleeding by the end#from the way she was moving#and she STILL managed to sling shot lute ass over teakettle#XD#the power of looooove

random Hunter headcanon GO!
AHH OKAY one of my random hcs is that hunter's smile is kinda asymmetrical/lopsided/wider on the left side cuz of his scars, especially after thanks to them. i imagine they'd significantly pull on his skin and could even affect nerves and definitely some range of motion, so-
sorta like this:
#i think it'd be very charming and neat :) but also sad cuz of the Reason for it OOF........ but charming. little dude#the owl house#hunter toh#in general i also feel like his scars are gonna significantly affect him cuz like. they cover a LARGE area. realistically they would#he has lots of experience with scars and injuries and knows how to deal with it all#cuz he rather didn't have access to a healer but needed medical attention a LOT so he defo had to learn how to patch himself up on his own#but also... i can imagine that with all of his responsibilities at the coven properly taking care of scars wasn't exactly his no.1 priority#so i like to think that if he gets a palisman woodcarving mentorship from the clawthornes dell will give him some advice#cuz he has a lot of experience with that himself as well and truly understands what hunter might be going through re: scar-related issues#anyways........ gah#hunter#toh hunter#hunter noceda#my toh talk#my sketches#my art#? kinda#nicole answers#Anonymous

Dracula waking from a dead sleep with a psychic call headache: hhhWhat what is it
Brides 1-3: Where is he.
Dracula: What?
Brides 1-3: WHERE. IS HE.
Dracula: Who?
Brides 1-3: Oh, John William Polidori--who the fuck do you think we mean?
Dracula, fidgeting in his dirt: Oh. Is he--is he not on the grounds?
Brides 1-3: If by ‘the grounds’ you mean, his room, the castle, the courtyard, or in our teeth where he’s supposed to be, no! No he is not! Where the hell is he, you old tick? Did you seriously box him up with you? Is he turned and stuck in one of the coffins? We’ve been looking top to bottom and--wait.
Dracula, sweating: ...
Brides 1-3: Wait.
Dracula, so much undead sweat he’s now laying in mud: ...
Brides 1-3: You didn’t bar the window, did you?
Dracula, wincing: What window?
Brides 1-3: The one you know he Victorian Spider-Manned his way out of half a week ago??
Dracula: ...well--
Brides 1-3: Oh my god.
Dracula: I’ve been busy!
Brides 1-3: You’ve been a slacking bastard, that’s what you’ve been. Oh, and what’s this? Is this your blood on this shovel? He was running on half his blood and he still climbed down and bludgeoned you with a gardening tool.
Dracula: It was one hit! He got lucky!
Brides 1-3: Lucky enough to beat you over the head, steal from your money heap, and run. ...You know what? We’re cool with this. Maybe he’s out there now, coming to pummel your head in with a spade. Run free, little bloodbag. May you smash this skull like an egg.
Dracula, headache is now a migraine: Are you done? Can I sleep now?
Brides 1-3: Yeah no we’re staying on until you get out of reach, asshole. Should only be another month until you reach England. Who wants to sing a song? 99 kids full of blood in a sack, 99 kids full of blood, take one down, pass it around, 98 kids full of blood in a sack~
Dracula: -groaning into his mud-
#in which Dracula learns there are repercussions to not ensuring your roomies get their share#dracula#brides of dracula#re: dracula#dracula daily
