It's Cheddar

Here's the general art style Chinese mountains are drawn in:

And here's how some of them actually look:

Here’s another karst formation you’ve probably seen:

Aka Pūtangirua Pinnacles in Aotearoa, when Post isn’t getting funky with filters

Here’s some in Madagascar.

Karst is also responsible for most cave formations, from stalactites and stalagmites to cenotes in the Yucatan:

to the giant caves of China and Vietnam:

James T. Kirk:

-Graduated in the top 4% of his year -was bullied by jocks -Is a history nerd -was so much of a teacher’s pet that he cheated on an exam and was commended for it -Was referred to as “a stack of books with legs”

Jean-Luc Picard:

-Spent all his free time drinking in pubs and playing billiards -broke more hearts than he can remember -started a bar fight that ended up in him being stabbed in the heart -likes to explore dangerous ruins of ancient civilizations for fun -wouldn’t even have become a starship captain if he wasn’t this much of a hothead

Jim Kirk seems like a wild man because he’s standing next to calm, logical Spock.*  

Meanwhile, Picard seems stately and dignified because he’s standing next to Will “Any alien physiology is bangable if you just put some thought into it” Riker*.  

* Of course THEN, we get to the next layer, which is that Spock is the dude who told the Vulcan Science Academy to fuck itself, while Riker plays the trombone.

This is not the same as having an eating disorder. But it is a warning sign for developing one, and carries its own negative health effects.

It's not disordered to look at your diet and decide you'd like to drink more water, which then naturally results in you drinking less soda.

It is disordered to become obsessive about soda and feel extremely stressed at the thought of ever drinking one because of the calorie content.

There are many fitness practices that for some people, some of the time, will result in weight loss, but you don't control if it happens to you.

Because the truth no one wants to acknowledge is that losing weight isn't inherently healthy.

Gaining weight isn't inherently unhealthy.

And as you incorporate more fitness habits into your life, like movement, improved nutrition, better hydration, better rest, etc. your weight will likely regulate to your body's set weight.

Set weight is still a theory (though a well supported one) but the likelihood is your body has a genetically programmed optimum weight range. And while maintaining healthful habits you can likely toggle it to either end of your natural range, but the thinness that society idolizes is not in everybody's natural range.

Which means with fitness some people will lose weight. And some people will gain weight. Some people's weights won't change much at all.

Some people who are currently living in thin bodies may discover that they are actually healthier in fatter bodies.

Which is why weight loss centric mentalities often lead towards disordered behaviors.

Boy am i glad that the con has a facebook page so i can post this photo:

SEVEN

seven is a whole first grader!

and given that! I desire more things which characterize everyone who experienced his brief life with more of the absolute fucking devastation that comes with losing a child out of your life that way. I'm not even talking about strictly his parents (although obviously I'd be into this as well), I'm talking about Jin Ling, who would've been growing up alongside him. Give me Nie Huaisang's crunchy feelings about this child who was described as sweet and well loved. Lan Xichen????? Jiang Cheng???

no I don't think this is a farfetched concept, I have multiple grade-school children in my life by both literal blood relation and adopted relation and I would both be a wreck and forever changed if one of them died, let alone by murder!

And if you have sex with someone other than your partner without telling them, well, then you’ve just exposed them to whatever diseases that other person might’ve been exposed to. That’s a risk they didn’t consent to.

Something like Breaking Bad, for example, has low squiggability (that’s what I’m calling this quality). It’s tightly written, the characters are consistent, there’s little left to interpolate or extrapolate. Obviously, people DO write fanfic of Breaking Bad, but it still has a low squiggability score. Whereas something like Supernatural has a high squiggability score. Fantasy and science fiction often have high squiggability scores. This suggests squiggability could also be related to worldbuilding and potential for people to borrow a premise or setting.
