This is just a funny video but it's possible to make maobi brushes from all kinds of hairs, including human hair. In fact some parents would make brushes out of hair cut from their newborn child's hair, called 胎毛笔, and this brush is given to the child to ward off evil.
Usually though the brushes used source their hair from two animals: goats and siberian weasels, and these brushes are called yanghaobi/羊毫笔 (goat-hair) and langhaobi/狼毫笔 ("wolf"-haired; this is probably because siberian weasels are colloquially called 黄鼠狼/"yellow rat wolf") respectively. Brushes that are made with a mix of hairs from these two animals are called jianhaobi/兼毫笔 (兼 means "and"/combination/merge/simultaneous). These are the most common ones. There are also zihaobi/紫毫笔 (purple rabbit-hair brush), jihaobi/鸡毫笔 (chicken down feather brush), shuxubi/鼠须笔 (rat whisker brush), zhuzongbi/猪鬃笔 (boar mane brush), and brushes made from horse hair, deer hair, badger hair, ocelot hair, tiger hair, fox hair, actual wolf hair, goose down feathers, duck down feathers, human beard hair, etc etc etc, these are very very rare nowadays since wild animals are now protected by law.
#lol#chinese brushes#asian brushes#if I wanted to I can probably make a brush from all the hair shed by Onion#which would be pretty cool#also the baby hair brush#i didn't have ine since i was a bald baby#big sadge

i have a counter argument to the 'only one person can boop bill' thing, mabel. she's the type of person to slap stickers on people, she would definitely be the type to also boop others occasionally and bill would be no exception. she probably doesn't do it to annoy bill like dipper would, but maybe as a form of a friendly gesture, kind of like those people who will lightly punch friends in the arm when they hang out.
You know what? Good point. Mabel would get away with more than most, as a fun-loving lady! Bill understands those impulses, and being a touchy person! He indulges in similar ones himself.
Though when Bill's not in the mood to be playful and gets booped anyway? The 'sister-in-law' status grants her considerable grace.
#answers#Though in addition to that - Mabel's general chaos and level of Fun Times is something Bill genuinely likes#Catch these two having one too many margaritas and slinging arms over each other's shoulders while singing too loud and off key#She'd have some leeway even without the brother situation#But Mabel gets a pass on things she normally wouldn't purely on the merit of 'this would piss off the spouse'#The thing about Bill is he's genuinely fun to party with - right up until he decides you're the pinata#Even now there are times when she thinks she's doing something 'cute' and Bill was NOT in the mood but just has to grin and bear it#Instead of breaking fingers one by one#Dipper is singular in his ability to get away with Pretty Much Everything#It's love yest but it's also communication and personality I'm afraid#If Bill DID call Dipper out on doing something Too Far he'd get an embarrassed and apologetic husband. With kisses of sorry.#Though in minor circumstances: he starts arguing with him#Turns out that bickering is a better way to deescalate with Bill than most other tactics and Dipper's a pro#Now Bill's gotta think semi-rationally to Win The Argument instead of acting on impulse.#And in the process of debate he not only: learns where his husband's coming from but has time to cool off#Congratulations Dipper! Your Nerdy Logic brain and ability to Rise to a Challenge prevent Bill from going immediately nuclear#Plus showing off that big sexy intellect of yours doesn't hurt#Whereas I see Mabel pushing one of Bill's few boundaries and then deflecting. She ain't great at conflict#Brushing it off and laughing; Jeez it was just for fun!! Lighten up already!#Exactly what Bill says when HE'S being a dick to someone!#Which is why he'd react Very Badly to that excuse#Ha ha! Fun! Of course Bill loves fun! You know what HE thinks is FUN#Barbecue. Flash-fried pork ribs. Where's that stupid pig#Dipper has to disarm that particular bomb and I highly doubt it's a pleasant process

i know this is A Reach and possibly nitpicky but i think the prettification of the hunger games movies can be seen even in the small matter of katniss's hairstyle. what's described as a simple and practical braid in the books is now a fancy diagonal over-the-shoulder dutch braid in the movies (a braid that is neither functional when the purpose is to get your long hair out of the way, nor very quick/easy to do on yourself), and added to that is the fact that katniss has bangs, once again something that is very impractical when you consider that katniss hunts for a living and those loose hairs would not only be visually obstructive but would also get caught in the bowstring and yanked like hell every time she shoots. in the training sequence of catching fire you can literally see that the bangs are in her eyes. there's a reason olympic archers always have their hair tied up and tucked out of the way. if she were to have a dutch/french braid, the point of that would literally BE to get those shorter hairs out of the way. but since this is a hollywood movie of course they have to make their star have pretty hair that frames her face just so
#uhhhh me#it would be suuuuch a cool commentary if she does normally have a simple braid#but any time the capitol wants her on tv they just give her that impractical hairdo#a bastardized prettified version of her braid#which has both cultural and personal significance to katniss#this is the smallest example of the prettification of the hunger games#the biggest one being ofc the fact katniss was Burnt As Hell by the end of the story#(tho thematically i think it would be more impactful if her face hadn't been spared)#(she is messed up and there is no way to hide it. she is no longer a pretty face to lead the rebellion. she is just a very traumatized girl#i haven't gotten to the third movie yet but i Know she left that burning incident with no marks to speak of#she doesn't even have singed hair. she is perfectly fine#like. boo#i know it's taking me forever to watching this trilogy. i just have other things to do

AU where Brent is a drone to help out at crime scenes and offer input after Right finds the drone. And basically he befriends the really weird guy possibly controlling the drone but has his doubts as to how human the drone's source can be. So Right and Brent just go around trying to solve crimes while Right just calls the drone "Fuckwad (affectionate)".
#my characters#i love right so much and i think he would actually do pretty dang well with a lil assistant drone because not a person#which means not liable to get hurt with a bit of contact so he can just#tap the lil drone or poke it to push it away a little#anyway hi i had a very VERY bad morning and im not gonna lie#i was genuinely at one point thinking huh what if i get hospitalized that sure would suck#and i was thinking huh maybe i should think of how to instruct my mom on how to post on tumblr to tell you guys im hospitalized#which in my defense i had to bother my mom at 2am bc i went down to get pain meds and couldnt make it upstairs#and was breathing so intensely on the stairs hunched over i was like hmmmm not the usual panic attack feelings#and she immediately asked me if i wanted to go to the hospital#so im like cool not gonna let that outta my mind thats fine surely no problem#just gonna fixate on being hospitalized#anyway i finally got helped upstairs and was in incredible pain and couldnt breathe v easily#and it was leading to a bit of a panic attack because i was in so much pain simply trying to inhale and#my breathing was so shallow and sharp and my arms were just having bad circulation and shaking and hm#yeah it was p bad#anyway as a treat to myself not being in a hospital i drew my beloved raccoon son right

Two weeks with Aurora! Here's a recap of life so far.
Our targeted socialization was pretty successful, we managed a bunch of different experiences and she rocked them.
Monday: Busy street at rush hour
Tuesday: Train station
Wednesday: Construction site
Thursday: Bike path next to train line
Friday: Outside a coffee shop
Saturday: Baby hike in the wild
She's still doing great in overall good citizen behaviours. She has specifically been crushing:
✅ Sleeping through the night
✅ Name recognition
✅ Basic training skills
✅ Recovering from being startled
✅ Being crated quietly
Honestly she's doing amazing, I am so so proud of her. 💜
Areas for improvement for the week include:
✴ Bullying Pike (which is improving but still not great)
✴ Demand barking and overall noise level
✴ Chewing on the couch in excitment
Our biggest victories this week include:
🎉 Baby hike 2.0 with beautiful ranging, reasonable baby recall, and great enthusiasm
🎉 Calling off play with Pike on multiple occasions
Our big goals for next week:
🚀 Less harassment of Pinecone
🚀 Working through the foundation levels of the baby conditioning class I'm taking
Really excited for the next few weeks with this girl! 💜
#dogblr#rory borealis#about aurora#she is snuggling really really well without biting me#and she 'asked' for a training session the other night which was soooo sweet#i want to take her on the train today#and i want to take her to see some blow up xmas ornaments before theyre put away for the year#i would love for her to stop barking#but im remembering how loud mav was and he grew out of it pretty quickly#so im hoping she grows out of it as well#the conditioning class is pretty cool!#its for dogs 8 weeks to 8 months#conditioning is a weak spot of mine - i dont know enough to work through it on my own#so i think this was a great purchase#im excited to work through it this winter#i feel like if any dog can use more body awareness and core strength its probably a brittany#this photo is from last week by the way we have like no snow left

watched a video about the unpleasant subtext created by the Velaryons being black in HOTD and had a sudden epiphany:
what if it was the Hightowers who were black in the show
I think that on the surface level it would definitely be cool, the hightowers are an extremely unique and interesting house and I would love to see more diversity in ASOIAF. However, the showrunners would also have to handle that with a kind of care that they clearly did not demonstrate with the Velaryons either.
Could you imagine how much worse the already nasty fandom discourse about how Alicent‘s children aren’t true Targaryens because of her would be if they were Black? or the victimblaming and hypersexualization of 15 year old Alicent that we already see in the fandom. or anything with how they characterized aegon, really. The narrative casts Alicent as this outsider to the Targaryen’s and Velaryons, but that narrative element would take a distinctly racial (and racist) tone if the Hightowers were the only Black nobles.
If they cast the greens (and I’m including Criston here) as the only people of color in the show who are positioned as villainous scheming upjumped usurpers against team black which would then be all very white good guy Valyrians who go on and on about blood purity that would definitely be communicating something pretty bad.
None of this is to say that it couldn’t work or that there’s anything that would prevent the hightowers from being Black in canon. but I am saying that the showrunners would have to put a lot of thought into it to avoid problematic elements or making the narrative extremely racist. And based on how they have handled the Black Velaryons and how the narrative marginalized them so far for the development of white characters, I don’t think that they would be able to pull it off well. 
#hotd#asoiaf#that got long. I wish they could pull it off because it be cool but I don’t trust the show runners with that.#i heard someone a while back say desi hightowers which would also be pretty interesting. but i digress

if you think about it, orv is an isekai that completely turns isekai concepts on its head.
one of the main goals of (crappy) isekai is wish-fulfillment-- it’s really easy to insert yourself into the mc’s position and imagine that you’re currently the one inserted into this new world as its op protagonist. and at first, orv seems to follow this basic trope-- kdj’s favorite novel comes to life around him and he’s literally turned from an average office worker to the most knowledgeable being in the world in mere minutes. you can see how it’s similar to a lot of other isekai expositions, and how it could be easy to make kdj a self-insert for a lot of readers.
and then as you dive deeper into the novel, it becomes clear that wish-fulfillment is not one of orv’s goals. kdj is a very unique character with an interesting backstory from before the transition to the new world, something most isekai mcs don’t have or don’t dwell on too much. the lack of backstories from their life in the old world is too make sure not to throw off the immersion of the reader into the mc for that maximum wish fulfillment. but kdj has ppl from before and backstories from before that impact him a lot and make it clear that orv is not that kind of isekai. it’s harder for him to be that sort of blank slate wish fulfillment type of character because of his unique past and motivations.
and of course, this all flips on its head again as you discover that, yeah it’s not wish fulfillment for you, but it was all kdj’s wishes coming true for him. it’s an isekai inside of an isekai, in a way. it’s an isekai wish-fulfillment self-insert fanfic not for you, but for kim dokja. which is already a pretty insane concept, but of course orv takes it even further after that.
because in the very end, the story expands from kdj’s world to the oldest dream’s world to the readers’ world, making the ending a literal wish-fulfilling conclusion that brings the readers’ wishes for kdj’s revival to life.
like orv is actually insane for pulling all that off.
#orv#omniscient reader's viewpoint#orv spoilers#kim dokja#anyway uhhhh many thoughts#like the initial concept of orv is pretty cool cuz its sort like reverse isekai instead of the og sorta thing#but even then i thought it would get stale after awhile when the novelty of kdj's knowledge started wearing off#but it never did#bc kdj and the side chars kept growing in ways that don't happen in isekais a lot#and the plot develops in interesting ways that ive never seen before#and obv the weird meta stuff just kept getting more meta which was really cool#and in the end the plot twists on itself so much that its evolved way past its initial#'oh wow i woke up and my fav novel is reality' concept#anyway there are def more ways that orv subverts some isekai concepts but like this is all i can think of for now

#nudity warning#guess whos back from college yipee (i was trembling for the entirety of my first day)#it was nice to be talking to people but having to talk to people drained so much out of me that i slept at 9. which is bizzare#drew the middle one while waiting for my afternoon class. what is there to even say i fantasize about women daily#also i like to think for fem!reborn but young she’ll have those puffy flowy dresses but black.#since if reborn originally followed traditional mindsets and standards when it comes to clothing he went for suits (which he later#-proceeds to expand his wardrobe and goes for crossdressing looks like reboko (one of his alt identities)#but would mostly have clothes following the traditional sense#fem reborn would love vests and formal clothings too i think but if in child form the fandom had reborn originally in an ouji-esque look#with top vest and shorts. so i think those puffy lolita dresses are cute for her#tsuna is just tsuna lol but i referenced her hair from levy mcgarden in fairytail#her hair is extremely iconic for me its so pretty#one reason why i chose her hair for reference is that if you just change her hair color to brown she’s literally tsuna’s fem doppelganger#another reason is that i like levy mcgarden#shes just silly ok i love her#and if youre in the fandom you’ll know her abilities which for me at 14 year old was cool as hell#katekyo hitman reborn#r27#sawada tsunayoshi#reborn#fan art#genderbend

not trying to add to the noise about ai art or w/e but artists of all media are already undervalued and under-compensated enough as it is & unless you learn and understand this very quickly you will not be seeing the gates of heaven
#in a perfect world it would be pretty cool that we have machines able to construct somewhat passing images or txt passages or voices#like objectively that is interesting#unfortunately we live in a society in which people have to work to live and the people paying them will look for any excuse not to pay them#its not the machines fault the machine is w/o context a morally neutral tool imo but it is The excuse to stop paying creatives

house of leaves is so incredible to me because i don't think you could ever completley adapt it into something like a movie or a tv show or a play or even a game. myhouse.wad is the closest from what i know, but that's more so based on 1. the horror of an endless house where you are so unbelievably tiny in the grand scheme of it. and 2. johnny truants no good very bad terrible breakdown (in the form of diary entries from steve nelson.) but. house of leaves is a book, and an essay first and foremost and i think the footnotes and the WAY the book is written is at the very least, INCREDIBLY difficult to translate into a visual media like film, tv, etc.
#hi. i like this book#im about halfway through i can't wait to finish it#house of leaves#myhouse.wad#sort of#important to note i do not know what i'm talking about#unless i'm onto something in which case i've never been wrong ever#actually i would LOVE to see the actual tapes adapted. that would be pretty cool

When will someone finally write a post-canon fic where Ling and Lan Fan actually grow closer together after he becomes Emperor because the Court is a den of snakes and they can only trust each other and Lan Fan becomes Ling's ghost advisor and rumours spread that to win the Emperor's favor you must first win over his Shadow?
#listen listem listen#i think lan fan could be a great strategist#and it could give her more power#which btw bitches don't think I haven't noticed you depowering her as the emperor's bodyguard#and it would be so cool#also i should probably write this#but I'm lazy#so someone else do it pretty please#lan fan#ling yao#lingfan#ig#platonic or romantic or my favorite queerplatonic all work#fma#fullmetal alchemist#fullmetal alchemist brotherhood#fmab

what a fantastic transition
#as much as i absolutely adore LT with all my heart there are no cartoons out there that give me such a CONSISTENT sense of raw visceral joy#than the Fleischer Popeyes#they are the epitome of fun. that’s such a vague word i know but i think it perfectly encapsulates these cartoons#not too gaudy or self absorbed. despite the fantastical nature of some plots and the gags and visuals there’s a down to earth humility as#well. it owns its simplicity very well. hearing that ‘30s jazz reach a climax as the visuals and gags and tactility and emotions get#stronger and faster in the climax of these shorts literally#gives me goosebumps! it’s an adrenaline rush#i also adore Olive Oyl. i mean i love them all. Bluto is the greatest cartoon asshole of all time. i love the nobility of Popeye. but i#really love that Olive gets to be just as loud and mean and weird and ‘ugly’ as the rest of the guys. she can throw a punch too. she’s not#just there to look pretty or be coquettish. she has a really natural charm and doesn’t feel forced like ‘oooo look at the cool LADY#participating too!’ which i feel is an issue with cartoons of both the past and present#she’s just another facet to these cartoons without calling much attention to herself and i really like that and wish there were more#like her#popeye#seasin’s greetinks#kneitel#vid#the lack of regular woman characters outside of thin tropes in golden age cartoons doesn’t bug me as much as it really should#because as a kid i was so used to watching ‘boy’ cartoons and connecting with ‘boy’ characters (i thought liking girl characters would make#me ‘girly’) and so it’s something i’ve always been sort of used to#but with that said Olive is one character i feel very strongly about and am glad she exists for those reasons#i don’t know why i’m getting so deep on this 10 second post? but anyway you should watch Popeye if you haven’t
