Jules is Still Figuring Things Out

dont get mad at trans ppl for using the “wrong”/out of date terminology to describe their own experiences like

if a trans dude says “back when i was a girl” or “i was born in the wrong body” just. let them. if they feel it describes their experiences the best, then it’s good for them

Airships that literally are just flying ships

Underground dwarven halls

Cave systems that have their own source of lighting, like glowing mushrooms, moss or water

Elvish settlements that are build on, in and around trees

Dragon hoards in abandoned dwarven halls

Abandoned castles, preferably recently abandoned

Villages build in cliff sides

Floating islands

Towers standing mysteriously and/or ominously in the landscape

THIS IS SAPPHIRE

THIS IS TEAL

THIS IS PERIWINKLE

THIS IS AZURE

 AND THIS IS TURQUOISE

WONDER WHY THOSE ALL DON’T LOOK LIKE THE SAME COLOR? BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT 

OTHER THAN BEING PART OF THE SAME FAMILY OF BLUES, THEY ARE NOT ALL THE SAME FUCKING COLOR! WHY WOULD THEY ALL BE THE SAME FUCKING COLOR! DO YOU THINK WE JUST NAME NEW COLORS FOR KICKS!?!?!?

It’s best to think of it this way: colors just are (there’s more to it than that, but that’s irrelevant here.) Things just are (there’s more to it than that, but that’s irrelevant here.) Color names happen when someone looks at a duck, looks at the paint chip they are holding (not really) and say “hey, instead of calling this color #008080, we could name it after this here duck.” Not all teals look like that. But that one sure did, and here we are.

So basically, the semi-precious stone turquoise inspired someone to name a color that (pre-hex codes and other color/number systems) was otherwise unidentifiable. It’s useful, if not entirely representative.

Of course, it does lead to some confusion. Fangirltothefullest is right that if someone says “the softly turquoise waters of the [heavily mineralized] forest pool” and I have the neon green middle-of-bottom-row turquoise as a paperweight on my desk, I could easily conjure up a very different imagine in my head. A turquoise [color] pool might not be potable, but it looks soothing; a neon green pool conjures up poison and/or radioactivity (please note that high levels of reactivity, like high levels of poison, are poisonous.)

Oh and finally, if you google “turquoise color” your google search will yield 50 different shades. So it depends on the paint company, the fashion company, the computer graphics guy, idk.

Anyway, 50 shades of turquoise: like 50 Shades of Grey but Christward wears this:

bro there’s so much going on this ask but i keep coming back to the fact that you think that tumblr followers amount to literally any real world benefits

when someone says “yeah, I’ve been tired lately because of my depression. I’m gonna talk to my doctor about my meds,” or like they mention coping with intrusive thoughts, or delusions, or hallucinations, or focus issues, or compulsive behavior, etc. etc., like it’s normal, bc for them and for me and for so many people, one or more of those things ARE normal……..

1) they just fed the dwarves lettuce to fuck with them bcos they’re assholes

2) elves don’t hunt for meat they hunt to get up close to animals & pet them like wolverine
