makign this instead of actually writing my fic. consider it promotional material
A few bits and bobs from the side-blog. Dynamax (not Gigantimax) Grimmsnarl, and Hoopa. I've grown kind of fond of Hoopa - didn't like it one bit when I first saw it, but now it's managed to climb the heights of dork mountain to slap fight Darkrai for the honour of personal favourite mythical Pokemon. Though to be entirely fair this might be because throwing Hoopa through a Fetus(tm) filter turned out more successfully than it had any right to.
Tell me to grow wings
One of the funniest failures of US school system is the fact they are legally obligated to teach us all the states but they never actually show how big Alaska is like I have actually had teachers tell me that Texas is the biggest state. We have all just convinced ourselves that Alaska is that small shrunken down thing on most US maps and the people that know it's the largest state can almost never accurately describe how large it is.
For context here is a picture
It has a national park that’s bigger than maine. Or Switzerland. A park.
I lived in Alaska for two years and I will never get over the sheer overwhelming bigness of it.
Nights where the sky is clear you can see clusters of stars or the Northern Lights dancing. When the lights are rippling especially strong and fast you can hear a static crackle in the air. When the moon is out after it’s snowed, you don’t need flashlights to see. Everything glows and glimmers like polished quartz.
But when the sky is clouded over so you can’t see the stars, you can kind of almost sense the mountains towering over you and helping to block out the light, these giant monoliths acting like this void darker than your soul. I’ve never experience night like Alaska night.
Everything is big, the mountains, the sky, the valleys.
And the dark.
what the fuck
digimon is so fucking funny this is one of my favourite clips

More than "here in the Southern Hemisphere we have inverted seasons :)" thing, which is TECHNICALLY true, I would go a step further and encourage to think about that "much of the world does not exactly has a spring-summer-fall-winter season sequence as they show in cartoons"
I will scream about this to anyone who listens forever. AUSTRALIA DOES NOT HAVE "ENGLISH SEASONS BUT BACKWARDS" and the insistence that it does creates a massive layer of alienation from the natural world.
I never really realised how much difference it makes until I went to England and realised that here the change of seasons is an obvious, visible, physical change in the world. Like, everything REALLY IS orange and foggy in autumn! In spring there are flowers EVERYWHERE, so much more than any other season, and the trees really do have all blossom and no leaves. Even if it doesn't snow, in winter there's frost all the time and the trees are bare and the sky is visibly greyer all the time. You don't need to be told "this date is the first day of spring", you can SEE IT (although this is getting way messier and less precise due to climate change).
By contrast, most places in Australia the seasons we're taught feel like arbitrary categories - and is it any surprise considering they're colonial constructs? Orange-leaved autumn and blossom-covered spring is a cartoon stereotype with no relevance on a continent where ALL NATIVE TREES ARE EVERGREEN!! Snowy winters are a joke in the desert, and even sunny summers don't ring particularly true considering that much of the country is in the tropics, where summer means monsoons - not that I've ever seen the concept that WE HAVE A MONSOON SEASON taught at an Australian school.
Most Indigenous nations around Australia had six or more seasons, revolving around wet and dry times as much as hot and cold, and marked by the appearances of certain native animals and flowers. Schools need to start teaching the real seasons, and explaining that climate cycles are too complex to generalise globally, or else we will keep raising generations who view the natural world as hostile and unpredictable and climate predictions as generally irrelevent and frequently wrong - and I'm sure I don't need to spell out why that's a problem in the era of climate crisis.
i want to add that 40% of the world's population lives in the tropics, and the 4 season model just doesn't make much sense for a lot of places in there. usually it's just the wet season/monsoon season and the dry season. it's often hot year round.
the 4 season model as you and i know it is a european invention, though 4 season models aren't unique to europe! most notably china has the same type of season subdivision.
in general the way humans define seasons is largely subjective and varies across cultures. the one you were taught is not at all universal!
"When you can't accept being different, you end up being different even where you belong"
The first and only question...
It was interesting to find out that the Hollow Knight has thoughts that aren't used in the game. It inspired me to quickly sketch my interpretation.
It makes sense to start question things when you are ordered to kill your sibling… the one you left to die in the abyss who knows how long ago.
It is curious to think about it in this way, that what gave them the last bits of strength to resist the Radiance was actually their own doubt and the shadow of their own will. The will to... question and disobey.
(On a related note, it was fun if not confusing to find out that the most common and accepted interpretation of the Hollow Knight is so different from my own. I don't know how I feel about it… it makes me uncertain about sharing my version, but at the same time, it also inspires me to draw more just for the sake of it)
I will stand firm in these designations. Simon is a big sweetheart and people don't talk about that enough.
I will forever be profoundly unimpressed with people who take pride in their unkindness to others

!!Daily reminder!!
Trans men are NOT your enemy
Trans women are NOT your enemy
Transmascs are NOT your enemy
Transfems are NOT your enemy
Non-binary people are NOT your enemy
Intersex people are NOT your enemy
People who use xenogenders are NOT your enemy
People who use neopronouns are NOT your enemy
People who use microlabels are NOT your enemy
Gender-non-conforming people are NOT your enemy
And if you think that a specific group of trans people or gnc people or any"the enemy", you're just wrong. No group of trans people is the reason for the hate cast towards us, and saying so is transphobic.
It is not trans people's fault for transphobia.
