hello i'm jack, i use all pronouns, i like to write and also draw sometimes
i cannot ever say anything in a concise way, i apologize in advance, i love to ramble :’)
i tend to jump from fandom to fandom a lot, so i'm pretty inconsistent with what i reblog
if you ever want to send me a message or ask, even if we're not mutuals, go ahead!! i love talking to people and making new friends!!
i love to do art trades, so if you like my art or writing and have anything you'd like to do in trade (art/writing/editing/playlists/moodboards/crochet/secret family recipe/fancam of my cat/etc) always feel free to ask me about that!! i also do art commissions which you can find here (if you're interested in a writing commission, msg me and we could work that out)
links:
my ao3 | my artfight | my posts tag | my spotify (mostly OC playlists) | my personal favourite fic i've ever written (3rd life desert duo modern with magic road trip AU where grian is a dinosaur and scar is a terrorist) | my personal favourite of my OC tags, from which you can probably find all my other OC tags
feel free also to friend me on discord (crystalrainwing) or email me [email protected]
userboxes from @mountaingoatsuserboxes :3
i only post my fandom-related writing online, but i also write original short stories, poems, and personal essays, so if you'd like to see any of those feel free to ask :3
i have a bad habit of not using punctuation when i'm just typing casually so if that makes it hard for you to read what i'm saying you can tell me to knock it off. additionally i like to play fast and loose with regular word order so sometimes i say things in a way that is terrible and bad to read. sorry!
if it is a thing that makes a difference to you, i am a grown adult who pays rent, so i guess don't follow me if you're an adults dni person
some of my favourite characters, from current and past fandoms: hollyleaf (wc), klaus (tua), sam (spn), jack (spn), jenny from thebes (tmg), stan (gf), mabel (gf), hellen (lo), sam (lo), mob (mp100), gtws from 3rd life specifically, maxwell (w359), minkowski (w359), pepper (wayfarers), sidra (wayfarers), the distortion (tma), tomura (mha), yokafee (ysmp)… and many others
they call me 'guy with dietary restrictions' in my case specifically i strictly cannot have gluten and non-strictly cannot have meat or dairy so if you have any recipes or tips that fit those restrictions please hit me up
if i mention something in the tags of a post, generally that means it’s something i am fine with talking about, so if you’re curious feel free to ask! even if ive tagged it “the [redacted] incident” or something, that’s usually because someone involved uses tumblr, not because i can’t/won’t talk about it. i am nosy and always wonder, so here’s full permission to shoot me a dm or an off-anon ask and i’ll probably tell you

if you're having trouble sleeping the best you can do is put a bright object close to your face and look at it for at least 30 minutes. if that doesn't work you can close your eyes but make sure to think really hard about a bunch of bullshit
sometimes you gotta bite the bullet and put "text your friend whom you love and genuinely want to talk to" on your to-do list because otherwise it is not getting done
honestly so glad this one is gaining traction. just saw it in my notifications and went "MAN ALRIGHT" to text yet another person i have been genuinely wanting to text back for days
so many. stupid fucking people. smugly wrong. the term . "all art is political". does not mean. every artist puts political intent into their work. no. the guy drawing dicks on the subway did not intend any deep message by it. HOWEVER. all art. IS political. he chose to draw that dick. for a reason. society shaped what he finds funny. what he finds shocking. the fact he chose to draw a dick at all says something about his society. actually, the fact it is a dick and not a pussy is itself political. we are all. ALL. shaped by our environments. in an alternate universe a woman is drawing a vulva on the wall. and shes saying "TCH! this isnt political. stupid liberals". all art. has political CONTEXT. that is a more specific way to phrase it. because we live in a society. who has access to art? where is the art located? who is the artist? why did they draw that in that specific location. what led to them even having the sharpie they used to draw the dick to begin with. their society shaped their tools! their society shaped their choice of subject! their society shaped the location of their art! but these people are too stupid to understand this. so theyll continue pretending that they are not shaped by their political environment. SAD!
out of all the posts ive made that have blown up this has to be the most fascinating Given how i was too drunk to remember how to form full sentences. but was i wrong? no.
I think a lot about who I am to other people in the world–particular who I am to strangers as a mere concept in their lives.
Today this woman called our information desk and said, “my son’s band is playing tonight. I want to come see him, but he never answers his phone…..I want to be there. Have you heard anything about his band?”
And I felt so bad for this lady but I’m not in the music scene around here so I had to tell her no, sorry.
Five hours later, I’m hiking and run into a group of guys setting up for some outdoor performance, and as I watch them unload the drums it hits me.
“Hey,” I said, “are y’all in a band?”
They said yeah and smiled and I told them “one of your moms called today. She wants to watch you play, but she can’t get a hold of you. Call your mom.”
And they all pulled out their phones and started discussing whose mom it probably was as they presumably dialed their own.
And now, unless we meet again and recognize each other, that’s who I’ll be forever to those guys–some mysterious courier for mom-messages who came out of the woods and told them their mom called.
I didn’t even tell them why their mom called me. Who am I to their mom?? Nobody even asked. They just took my word for it and called their mothers.
When time, I saw this mom looking around the store calling out “Owen?”. I went a few steps, and saw this boy sitting on a glider playing with a switch. I yelled to him “OWEN! Your mom’s looking for you!”

The most basic, intractable fact about mental illnesses is that you simply cannot willpower your way out of them. The only exceptions to this rule are the ones I have, which continue to disable me due to lack of determination and other grave personal flaws
okay i'm reading the semantics chapter of my language development textbook now and i know i've already posted a bit about the wacky methods researchers have employed to test infants' and toddlers' linguistic knowledge, but this is a really fucking great one.
so they were trying to figure out if children use syntactic knowledge to learn new vocabulary, specifically in this case they were researching two year olds. with verbs, some are done to a person ("x hit y") and some only have a doer ("x laughed"), and they wanted to see if these different sentence structures had an effect on how toddlers learn.
they got some grad students, put one in a rabbit costume and one in a duck costume. they had the rabbit repeatedly push the duck into a crouching position using their left hand. at the same time, both the rabbit and the duck were moving their right hands in a repetitive circling motion. they had a bunch of two years olds watch this. with half of the kids, they said "the rabbit is gorping the duck!" and with the other half, they said "the rabbit and duck are gorping!" afterwards, they showed two videos at the same time to the kids, one with the rabbit pushing the duck down but no circling motion, and one with both making the circling motion but no pushing. then they said "where's gorping now? find gorping!" and the kids who had heard the first statement would consistently look towards the video of the pushing motion, while the kids who heard the second statement would consistently look towards the video of the circling motion.
so it provided good evidence that kids do learn new words using their knowledge of sentence structure! my textbook says it's called the "syntactic bootstrapping hypothesis", which is also a fun term. anyway, i just think it's a fucking hilarious way to have tested this. imagine being a linguistics grad student and your advisor is like "hey i got this furry suit. i'm gonna need you to put this on for research purposes."

irritating as fuck when people get mad at Black people existing in premodern historical fiction/fantasy media. like first of all, you're racist. and second of all, you are acting as though Black people didn't exist in premodern Europe which is simply false. especially when we're talking about the Mediterranean, like what the fuck do you people think is along the southern half of the Mediterranean Ocean?? everyone's on boats, there are GOING to be interactions with Black people in Northern Africa, and there are GOING to be Black people in Mediterranean Europe. stop being stupid. your imagined homogeneous white European past is not historical reality, get over it you massive losers
