She’s based off of a blue dragon sea slug-

Send 🎨 for my muse to discover that your muse has a new tattoo!

A tattoo isn't really something Steve thought he'd get. Not because he's afraid it'll hurt too bad or he dislikes them, no. It's just that it never really crossed his mind before. Not even when he's literally in a relationship with someone who has plenty of them. Silly, right? Though Steve ends up getting on in the spur of the moment.

It all started when he simply walked by the shop and before he knew it, he was inside out of sheer curiosity alone. Then? Well, then the obvious happened. After the artist was done thoroughly info dumping on him over the meanings of butterflies, she somehow managed to get him in the chair and getting his very first tattoo. Something Steve is oh so sure now that Eddie will be very upset about. Not getting to be there with him or anything, that is.

But now he's home and showing it to Jade. Eddie isn't home yet otherwise he'd be getting a show of the piece and going into a full blown tantrum, he's sure. Well, more like getting super pouty about it..

It's placed on his right hip bone with a few, blue butterflies looking as though they're flying up and along it. He knows it's something probably pretty basic, but he doesn't care. He likes it. Still, it doesn't mean he's not curious about what they think. "What do you think? It was kind of spur of the moment.."

MBTI has been proven completely ineffective at predicting anyone’s success at a particular job, and half the people who take it twice will get different results. Reputable psychologists do not recognize it, and the company that owns the rights to it uses it to scam people. People don’t adhere to strict binaries in basically anything. Very few people are going to be exclusively introverted or extroverted. It’s just astrology repackaged as pseudoscience. Shockingly enough, you can’t boil the complexity of the human experience down to a dozen Types of Guy.

The concept of IQ is flawed from the start— “intelligence” is an abstract concept that encompasses many different skills, from social intelligence to emotional intelligence to the very narrow kind of problem solving intelligence IQ tests generally measure for. It cannot predict how fast you learn, how much you know, or how logical and well read you are. It mostly measures how good you are at solving puzzles. Coincidentally, it’s also a pretty good predictor of income and education level, take a guess why. Most people’s IQ will change throughout their lives, because it’s inconsistent bullshit we’ve only held onto this long because we’re still kinda hoping we can breed the ubermensch. IQ tests and the way they attempt to categorize people are explicitly eugenicist and racist.

BMI was developed by a man known as the grandfather of eugenics, who first of all was a mathematician, not a doctor, and second never intended the formula to be used to categorize individuals. It’s intended to give a rough estimate of obesity in populations, and it’s not even good at that. It hangs around because of fatphobia and insurance companies who want it as an excuse to charge fat people more.

The study which determined people’s prefrontal cortex was still developing at 25… stopped measuring at 25. Evidence suggests your brain probably never stops developing. Stop infantilizing grown adults. This is a branch off from the larger mess of misinformation surrounding fMRIs.

This was something we read about in my undergrad teacher prep program because it is such a prevalent myth, and it encourages people to think of people as having these psychologically and biologically essentialist, immutable traits-- that everyone can be sorted and categorized, that those categories tell you something about them (and it's therefore safe or even a good practice to make certain assumptions about them), and that those categories are predetermined and inflexible.

"Yeah that's uh - old news." Was she really not in the loop? Most knew by now that his dad was dead. Probably meant she just stuck to being on her own, but at the same time? She's being friendly and seems fine with giving him information. Not something he hates though as Dean tends to be anymore, he'll still be wary. He'll take what she says into consideration though he's still going to be careful. Make sure he doesn't walk into an ambush that he wouldn't even know about due to her claim that there wouldn't be.

If you want to help, the two things that will make the most impact are SPREADING AWARENESS, and participating in PUBLIC COMMENT while it is still open.

‼️LINK TO FDA COMMENT PAGE‼️

Document: FDA-2025-P-7321

As of the time this article was written, ALL public comments were from hate groups in support of this registry. Every single comment in opposition will help.

If you click the more details button, you'll see a small section that reads "In some instances, agencies do not publicly post all comments received. You can only access those comments that are posted to Regulations.gov by the agencies. The number of accessible comments, therefore, may be lower than the total number of comments listed in the card below." This basically means that, out of the 6,897 comments that have been recieved, the agency has only decided to post 61 of them. The latest post of those 61 dates back to Febuary 27th. Clearly, that leaves 6,836 comments unaccounted for, and not posted. (Likely, because the 6,836 not posted are in opposition to this petition.) Now, if you go to comment like I did today, you might notice this:

This is a lie! The comment period is still accepting late comments, but what you have to do is click the Docket Document tab, which will bring you to two documents. The acknowledgement letter is closed for comments. THE CITIZEN PETITION IS STILL ACCEPTING LATE COMMENTS.

ETA: used my last free blaze to try and blaze this post. OF COURSE THEY REJECTED IT COWARDS
