my controversial opinion is I don’t think Zuko was confused by “my first girlfriend turned into the moon”
he was there during siege of the North. he infiltrated the spirit oasis. he has an uncle who studies spirits and the spirit world. he watched the sky go dark then the moon suddenly reappear like everyone else in the entire world did. and most importantly he watched zhao get eaten by a giant godzilla fish spirit.
his entire life since he saw that beam of blue-white light in the south pole has been ‘this day has already been so goddamn weird’
The only really new information was that that was Sokka’s girlfriend
Important opinion in the tags that I need to have be part of the post:
Also, Iroh was there? He literally watched Sokka make out with the moon spirit. And you want to tell me that a romantic sap like him would not have immediately told Zuko about this romantic tragedy? Please, Zuko has known about this for ages, he just knows that this is not an acceptable situation in which to say “yeah, I know.”
Sokka: “My girlfriend turned into the moon.”
Zuko: “I know.” “Yes.” “She sure did.” “Uh huh.” “Tell me something new.” “Are we still talking about that?” “That’s rough, buddy.”
[image: tags by samwisethebold: #it’s not that he doesn’t get what sokka means #it’s that how on earth do you respond to that]
When you put it like that, this is actually a legendary display of tact on Zuko’s part
What would you do if you were scrolling through recommended tumblr posts and one was from someone you don't know and it was just a picture of your dad captioned "fucking hate this guy" and it had hundreds of notes
reblog it
I would assume they are thinking he's someone else. That happens frequently, and when people mistake him for a politician, they can get very aggressive.

Uncles and Nephews can perform especially powerful attacks together. Experiment with different uncles and nephews to discover their unique abilities.
this is what LMFAO did with party rock anthem
huh
There's a very funny thing that happens in transhuman science fiction where sometimes an author will turn out to be a reactionary conservative who thought he was writing dystopian fiction and intended all the sickass radical body modification stuff to be scary, but he assumed that was obvious and forgot to put it in the actual text.
It's like the literary version of those breathless propaganda thinkpieces where they accidentally make their political opponents sound cool as hell because they have no idea how it reads to anyone whose brain hasn't spent the last thirty years being pickled in fear juice.
The EU and UBI
EVERYONE, the EU is gathering signatures for a ubi, last time they did this it was only nearly 300,000 signatures when they need a million please whatever you can do call or email or share please this is Amazing
Here's the link to the European Citizens Initiative. It's been registered but isn't open for signatures yet.
hey real quick can anybody help me find this image that I’ve seen before here on tumblr. it looks like this
the button doesn’t necessarily say “Elucidate the Rapture” but it does say something that’s kind of lengthy and has religious connotations. the woman pushing the button has an expression of indescribable smugness. there might be other buttons on the machine (?) she is pressing.
FOUND IT
Oh this is only the first image in the Eschatron 9000 Series
and the finale, because of the Tumblr image limit
thanks this is part of an even grander incomprehensibleness than I could have expected
I cannot believe that this is a website where you can ask “hey i think i saw a weird image once” and put a bad stick figure drawing of it and someone will be like “oh yeah that’s the first installment of a 12-part post-ironic apocalypse fever dream photoshop series” and just hand you a dozen of the most unhinged images you’ve ever seen in your life, that still have a better three act structure than most modern cinema
I dont think thats the whole photoset…. I found one more
But from what i can gather thats Crystal Thierry, also known as page73girl. Who seems to have been a model for the now defunct biggestletdown.com…
But i have no idea when the eschatron 9000 pictures were made or for that matter the original photos that were used to make it
this is far more than “random person in 2005ish creates surreal visual narrative” - let’s go deeper down the rabbit hole, shall we?
to Immanentize the Eschaton means to bring about utopian conditions and create heaven on Earth
the phrase is first cited in the Discordian religious text, Principia Discordia (1963), for whom Discord (aka Eris) is goddess:
the first line of Robert Anton Wilson and Robert Shea’s 1975 The Illuminatus! trilogy: “It was the year when they finally immanentized the Eschaton.”
in Frederik Pohl’s The Eschaton Sequence (1997 - 1999), the human race is caught up in a galactic war between two alien races attempting to immanentize the eschaton
in Ken Macleod's The Stone Canal (1997), one of the chapters is “Another crack at Immanentising the Eschaton”
Crystal Thierry’s (aka the modern Discordia / Eris) narrative lives in esteemed company
here’s what the warning in the image says btw because i wanted to read it but it was too blurry so i had to spend several minutes hunting for a version with better resolution, so I’m posting it here so nobody else has to make that same journey
“DO NOT OPERATE THE ESCHATRON 9000 UNLESS YOU’RE REALLY, REALLY SERIOUS ABOUT DESTROYING THE WORLD”
also just noticed the labels on the dials on the left side of the device’s control panel:
“MAYHEM” and “DESTRUCTION” are both turned all the way up
As they should be. Can’t make paradise without scrambling a few universes.

in 2015 we didn’t have AI psychosis so people had to make do by believing a dress was white and gold
Because it was
Is the gold in the room with us right now?
yes. the dress is gold.
...
the dress has always been gold
r u saying this doesn't look white and gold to u???
...
what.
it's a white and gold dress in cool blue dim lighting w/ bright warm light behind it, making an optical illusion. we're not fucking doing this again
oh god fucking damn it
I know tumblr likes to exclusively make it about bloody hospitals but this is what Color Theory is about
HOW DID THIS DISCOURSE COME BACK IN THE YEAR OF OUR LORD 2026!???
when I tell you people were shouting up and down my dorm's hallways about this when it first happened
(the dress was by Roman Originals and it was in fact blue and black. but they made a one-off white and gold one for charity later)

When talking about humanoid flying beings, people often point out the necessary wingspan (it's a lot) but what's less discussed is the muscle structure necessary to make wings move. You can't just stick wings anywhere. They need a complete muscle system for them, front and back.
There are a few concept artists that have tackled this but I really, really like this one:
Skeletal and muscular exploration for a half bird - half human fantasy creature. I wanted it to be the most "realistic" and functional it co
Notice both wingspan (huge), muscles on the back AND the front, a second pair of pectorals basically. I actually think those are rather conservative for what it would be needed. An "angel" or "harpy" like humanoid would have a very prominent muscled chest and front besides the muscles on the back and of course the wings. And this will also result on an interesting disposition of the skeleton especially on the chest. This is this artist's representation but there are other ways, but note that those muscles need an "anchor" which is what birds have:
In my own biopunk setting, these modifications are so massive and strong that flying humans have not been fully accomplished yet, and de-novo attempts (that is, editing from before birth) are still very controversial. Most "cosmetic" modifications are relatively easy and can be done in adults: ears, tails, tegument like scales or feathers, the human body can be grafted with these with the technology of the setting. What cannot be done is just stick a pair of wings and expect to fly, the body adaptations to do this are massive. Similar issues come with changing really anything with regards of the overall bone and muscle organization of the body.
OF COURSE, this implies an hexapod scheme, three pairs of limbs, arms, legs and wings. No examples of hexapod vertebrates exist and I'm pretty sure none will ever exist since it implies such a huge evolutionary change, but a pair of wings and legs sounds more plausible and indeed it's the way it has been done in most flying animals. Most wings in vertebrates are a modification of the arms and hands. The most familiar example in mammals are of course bats:
I thought there would be more studies of bat musculature, so apologies for the low quality. I think this is mostly accurate, at least it's not AI from what I can tell, but this gives me another thing to talk about: if you look at other not-so-accurate illustrations probably made with AI they put muscles all over the wing.
THIS IS WRONG
WRONG
Bat wings are basically very derived hands, with small but powerful muscles, with fingers joined together with a VERY thin and elastic tissue (patagium) practically skin-thin. And also, notice that the wings aren't separate from the body, like in birds, they go all the way down the body and there's also a similar membrane between the legs (uropatagium), the whole body, in a way, becomes a wing. This is not only in bats, birds are actually the strange ones in having separate wings with feathers. Most attempts at flight in vertebrates have involved something similar to bats. In fact, here's a very fascinating video about why the evolution of wings in birds is actually the exception and not the rule in vertebrates:
And even then, notice that birds have TAILS, they still have more than just wings. The patagium and the way the whole animal becomes a "wing" (think of the Batman symbol) are something that isn't really considered in most humanoid flying species in fiction, they think it's just sticking a couple wings and that's it. But an animal that evolved for flight and an animal that evolved for bipedalism are completely different beasts.
just remembered this time I read an article from an autism mom justifying trying to get her TWELVE year old daughter with high support needs autism and an intellectual disability a HYSTERECTOMY because she had a hard time explaining what a period was to her daughter and "her daughter would never willingly have children so it should be okay"
I'm fairly confident the doctors vetoed that one (thank god) but it really says a lot about how caregivers will bulldoze the rights of developmentally disabled people when those rights are inconvenient to them.
If you want to never be able to stop being angry about how disabled kids are treated by their abled parents and other people in authority, look up the "Ashley Protocol".

9 Black butch lesbians share their stories in The Butch Mystique (2003)
I can’t believe so many terfs are reblogging this shit without realizing that terf rhetoric is one of the main reasons gnc women get harassed in bathrooms and treated as male in the first place lmao, the level of self unawareness is astounding
my life with ADHD
This is very true and a great post.
But low key makes me think about how people with adhd have been raised their whole lives to value a day based on what they accomplished vs what they experienced
I think your point is excellent. But also consider:
That list might say things like “Paint a picture. Go birdwatching. Finish that great novel I started reading. Call my grandma. Learn to bake a cake. Visit my sister. Play piano.”
For me at least, the good/fun things are harder without meds too. I can have the best intentions, but following through is hard.
This addition is so important.
