Watching my toddler figure out how to language is fascinating. Yesterday we were stumped when he kept insisting there was a “Lego winner” behind his bookshelf - it turned out to be a little Lego trophy cup. Not knowing the word for “trophy”, he’d extrapolated a word for “thing you can win”. And then, just now, he held up his empty milk container and said, “Mummy? It’s not rubbish. It’s allowed to be a bottle.” - meaning, effectively, “I want this. Don’t throw it away.” But to an adult ear, there’s something quite lovely about “it’s allowed to be a bottle,” as if we’re acknowledging that the object is entitled to keep its title even in the absence of the original function.
@adina123 also for the lost ask! You had put Cleo as a member of Rivendell emphasizing her immunity to the cold for being undead. That was really fun and I wish I had your og thoughts to share because I went an entirely new direction aha.
The idea of putting non esmp characters into the esmp was fun to me in the context of making them fit into how my personal fanon has explored the esmp world. So I made Cleo a member of Mezalea!
She herself is a clay construct like many others, and she chooses to have a form that is bigger and greener than most. Construct creation is an art, and she among them, so she has no qualms looking different. She works making sculptures in Mezalea, but more often is commissioned as a "body builder" for her fellow constructs looking for a new form or to have the mother tree imbue life to a child construct. Cleo is the one molding all that clay! Very much inspired by her armour stand expertise, and her workout skin + body builder building from season 8!
we do not talk enough about how you get hit front and back by being a jew and supporting Palestine. For a recipe that i want to make during Shabbat I have to scroll through a jewish recipe blog and cringe at the I Stand With Israel posts and then go back.
so a bunch of jewish spaces aren't safe anymore or are landmines. then you're forced to go someplace else. then there's tumblr with the people who think Jews=Zionist.
like oh, you're jewish? they immediately think you support the idf or something and praise genocide or something. your family barely survived a genocide that wasn't even like more than three generations ago and its being used as some sort of crutch to israel's moral defense when israel does NOT give a fuck about holocaust survivors at all except for their pr...
like damn bro im just trying to live my life and cook normally. Palestine has my entire heart. but like the pipeline from Palestine advocacy to accidental antisemitism to purposeful antisemitism is so 😭😭. man. i just wanna say guys jewish people aren't your enemies. the goal is to stop genocide not make the nazis proud of you or something
this post is going to stay up forever, but I'm going to reblog this post with a picture of a funny cat I drew wearing big boots. the reblog that has the cat in it will only be available for 5 minutes so good luck if you manage to see or find that version.
I'll add the cat to this post about a minute after posting this. I need to add an image description so it'll take a sec
Etho only agreeing to play MCC again as long as he's on a team who cannot possibly come close to winning so that there's no chance he'll have to give smajor his address for a victory coin
There was a new LGBT+ acronym, and it was twig etc. (it had to be in lowercase for some reason). It stood for trans, Welsh, intersex, and gay. Everyone else was etc. It was very controversial.
