Wish the Sepia coulda matched the bronze a little better but Green and a Brown/Red is a lovely pair
The Pen is a TWSBI: Eco - Serpentine with a 1.1 Stub.
The Ink is Lamy Sepia and I sprinkled in a tooooouch of some mica powder I got from Temu years ago. It's called Chameleon.
I like to mess with inks often. Dilute with water, a touch of soap off the finger to reduce surface tension, a mica for shimmer. But I only do it with my replaceable or serviceable pens. Makes the hobby funner for me.
Tinker responsibly.

alright I've got to do some quick math to explain attitudes towards AI to my boss.
we're looking to create an AI policy, and when we were talking about this, my boss (older millennial) was genuinely shocked to hear that younger people do not (seem) to view AI positively (a la the recent commencement speakers being booed)
please rb for larger sample size!
Question 1/3
What is your age, and do you feel AI is a net positive or net negative in our lives today?
under 18, AI is a net positive
under 18, AI is a net negative
18-29, AI is a net positive
18-29, AI is a net negative
30-45, AI is a net positive
30-45, AI is a net negative
46-60, AI is a net positive
46-60, AI is a net negative
over 60, AI is a net postive
over 60, AI is a net negative
Question 2/3
How often do you visit or interact with museums/archives (whether in person or online)?
Frequently (multiple times per month)
Often (multiple times per year)
Occasionally (a couple times per year)
Rarely (once every couple of years)
Never :(
Question 3/3
If you saw a museum was using AI in exhibits, marketing, research, etc., would you be more or less inclined to visit that museum?
under 18, more inclined
under 18, less inclined
18-29, more inclined
18-29, less inclined
30-45, more inclined
30-45, less inclined
46-60, more inclined
46-60, less inclined
over 60, more inclined
over 60, less inclined
Thank you for helping with this data collection. Please rb for as big a sample as possible!

The other night husband and I were watching a documentary about the yeti where they were doing DNA analysis of samples of supposed yeti fur, and every one of them came back as bears.
Anyway, the next night we watched a thing about some pig man who is supposed to live in Vermont. People said it had claws and a pig nose but walked upright like a man. Now, I happen to know that sideshows used to shave bears and present them as pig men. So every piece of evidence they gave of this monster sounds to me like a bear with mange.
So now the running joke in our house is that everything is bears. Aliens? Bears. Loch Ness monster? Bear. Every cryptozoological mystery is just a very crafty bear.
Bears. Theyāre everywhere. Be wary. Anyone or anything could be a bear.
oh shit
As the OP of this post, Iām going to threaten that if this gets to one million notes by the 10 year anniversary on 1 June 2026, one year from today, I will get a lower back tattoo of the loch ness bear monster.
Y'all know what to do Tumblr.
there are days where NO āļø video games are played and there are days where video games are played for 10 or maybe 14 hours straight
I need everyone to understand that if you ignore Misa/the relationship between Light and Misa, and only are interested in his relationship with L, you are missing out on 1/3 of what makes Death Note and Lightās character so great. Pay attention to Misa NOW notice her nuances NOW give her agency in her choices NOW see her as Lightās equal NOW.

yoā¦. when jet breaks in the tea shop and accuses zuko and iroh of beinh firebendersā¦.
do you think any of the patrons looked at zukos scarred face - obviously done by a firebender - and immediately think jet was an asshole? like
jet: hes a firebender!!!!
patrons, thinking about the backstory they concocted for zuko and iroh where their home was invaded by firebenders and they barely survived with their lifes so they could come and have a peaceful life selling tea in a city the war doesnt touch:
Jet: Heās a firebender!
The Patrons to the Tea Shop internally: You fucking stupid, sir? I think you might be stupid.
#if someone shouted something racialized at a food service worker and he pulled swords#if be like āyeah thatās fairā
He didnāt even use his own swords. He took them from a guard and the guards let him

Iām all in favour of LGBT reimaginings of popular media, but with respect to some of the Labyrinth fan-castings Iāve seen floating around lately, thereās really no getting away from the fact that the Goblin King is a sexual predator.
Like, thatās the straight-up text of the film, and itās not especially subtle about it.*
Iām not saying gay people canāt be villains, but the whole point of Jareth is that his attraction toward Sarah is sick, and her rejection of him represents a triumph of good over evil ā itās very much a film born of the Stranger Danger narrative that was all over popular media in the 1980s. Iām sure itās possible to do a same-gender version of that without falling down the slippery slope of Unfortunate Implications, but it doesnāt feel like that concern is even on the radar in a lot of these proposals.
* Though the subtext isnāt slacking off, either. Remember the scene where Sarah first encounters Jareth, where he starts fondling a crystal ball, smirkingly invites her to play with it, then snarls and thrusts a snake in her face when she declines? That aināt the reading-too-much-into-the-curtains kind of symbolism!
I feel like itās more complicated than that, though? like⦠I feel like being a cis man thereās some nuance youāre missing?Ā
CW: Long meta, rape mention, frank discussion of Problematic Teenage Fantasy Boyfriends
Labyrinth is pretty clearly a Symbolic Coming-Of-Age Story ⢠about the Role Of Fantasy in the life of a Young Woman, right? itās about how you need to have a healthy relationship with fantasy. you canāt let it push away the people you love, you canāt let it control you or blind you to whatās there. but it can help you make lasting friends, and when you need it most- for any reason at all- itās there.Ā Ā
itās pretty much textĀ that everything in Labyrinth is part of Sarahās imaginary world.Ā Everything in the Labyrinth is either something she sought out and loves- her plushies and statuettes, her music boxes and books- or some part of herself, some want or fear or dream, given form.Ā
And aĀ lot of girls like Sarah- bookish, daydreamy, intellectually gifted but emotionally immature girls whoāve been steeped in a lot of crap about relationships from the world we live in -Ā have a Fantasy Lover who looks and acts a lot like Jareth.Ā
Heās Intense and kind of scaryā because when youāre at that age, anything to do with romance or sex is intense and scary. Heās passionately, obsessively devoted to you, because it feels good to be neededĀ and a teenager hasnāt got the life experience to realize that IRL that kind of obsessiveness is a red flag. Heās an older man- sometimes much older- so that he knows what heās doing and can show you what to do,Ā but heās as pretty and graceful as an age-appropriate crush would be. Heās Flawed and Broody and a bad boy- but itās blatantly obvious that he has good qualities; he will gladly make a fool of himself dancing just to make a baby smile.Ā
Ā And the Fantasy Lover is often⦠yes⦠kinda predatory. Heās a vampire, or a werewolf, or a Phantom, or a Goblin King. He comes onto you, not the other way around; he chases you, and you run for a while before falling into his arms and being Ravished. He leads when you dance; he tells youĀ ādo everything I say, and I will be your slaveā.
But thereās a reason for this. in modern American society- and this was even more true back when Labyrinth was being filmed- women are not supposed to want sex. even having fantasies about having a passionate lover you sought out that you want can get a bit ~taboo~. and if youāre a teenager- especially if youāre a shelteredĀ teenager with no female friends or family, no one to tell you that what you want is okay and normal- it can feel weird and bad and scary to fantasize about, well, initiating consensual sex. you donāt feel like youāre allowed to; Nice Girls donāt.Ā
so oftentimes, the Fantasy Lover blurs into rape fantasy territory. he knows exactly what you want and he gives it to you, no matter how many times you say no. you deny yourself any agency within the context of your fantasy, but since itās just a fantasy, youāre having your cake and eating it tooā after all, you can stop whenever you like. you still get to be a Nice Girl, a Good Girl- you didnāt do anything wrong, even in your own head- but you get all the poorly-choreographed Imaginary Romance Bodice-Rippinā you want.Ā
normally, this is a pretty harmless coping mechanism. the thing isā¦Ā ādenying herself her own agencyā is one of Sarahās big flaws.
Ā She tends to immediately deny that she made bad decisions, to act like bad things just happen to her because Itās Not Fair, to balk when thereās a problem she canāt immediately solve. heck, selling Toby to the Goblin King in the first place is sort of a backhanded denial-of-agency ā she doesnāt want anything bad to happen to Toby even though she resents his existence, oh no no no, it was the Goblin King that stole the baby.Ā
Ā And Sarahās never in any real danger from Jareth.Ā the snake scared her, but it didnāt bite; the poisoned peach would have made her lose her memory and stay in her fantasy world forever, which is something that Sarah knows is bad, but still kinda wants on some level. at their final confrontation, he doesnāt try to kill her, doesnāt try to fight herā because he canāt.Ā
Jareth is Sarahās Fantasy Lover. He canāt do anything that Sarah doesnāt want him to. heās predatory because Sarah wants him to be, because then she doesnāt have to accept that she wants sex and romance; she can pretend itās just another thing that happens to her. the reason Jareth is so out of control in the text is that Sarah has given away all control.Ā
the final confrontation in Labyrinth, isnāt Good Versus Evil in the sense that you mean; it isnāt Sarah destroying Jareth forever, or kicking him out of the land. Hell, he shows up at the end in barn owl form, while all the muppets are having a dance party in Sarahās bedroomā heās a part of her inner, fantastic world, and has just as much right to be there as Ludo or Hoggle or the little dudes with the ostrich hats.Ā but heās only a part of that world, and heās not the part that matters most, or the part that has say.
their final confrontation is Sarah accepting, and taking responsibility for, her inner life. she is the one in charge of her destiny; she wants what she wants, she needs what she needs, and she will take responsibility for both. she doesnāt need Jareth to do things ātoā her so she can pretend she doesnāt want them to happen. her will is as strong as Jarethās, and her kingdom as great.Ā Ā he has no power over her.Ā
so likeā¦I get where youāre coming from with recognizing the Unfortunate Implications and all.Ā āGay people are sexual predatorsā is still A Thing, and in the real world, yeah, Jareth would be a creepy pedo stalker. assuming our civilization survives and all, I hope that someday people look at Labyrinth the way we look at Baby, Itās Cold Outside and completely miss the point. :VĀ Ā
ā¦but cāmon. a kid who grows up being told that they donāt really want the things they wantā and if they do want those things, theyāre Literally Satanā is gonna have so very much more trouble accepting their own sexuality as they get older.Ā Ā
you canāt tell me that there arenāt plenty of queer teenagers out there who have the same problem denying their own agency, magnified and exacerbated by the fact that theyāre queer.Ā or that plenty of us didnāt want the goblin king to come take us away, and didnāt really understand why until much, much later.Ā Ā Ā
Thereās another element I might like to add to the archetype of the Fantasy Lover, based on my own experience and observation:
When the Fantasy Lover is not human ā vampire, werewolf, or Goblin King ā then it comes with the understanding that the way he behaves is simply in his nature. Thereās no need to fuss over wondering why he became this way (or whether he might become worse in the future) or whether you have an obligation to try to Fix Him with your love, or whether there was something you said or did to make him this way. He simply is.
(I mean, I Can Fix Him With My Love is alsoĀ a fantasy, but a different one. Sort of how likeĀ āI overcome the oppressionā andĀ āI donāt have to face the oppression in the first placeā are both important fantasies for many minority groups, I Can Fix Him and I Donāt Have To Fix Him are both important fantasies for young girls.)
For young girls who have grown up with a *lot* of messaging that the good behavior of boys around them is in some way their responsibility and the bad behavior is somehow their fault, this is a *very* freeing narrative.
This.
A LOT of stories would be terrible in the real world (not just romantic ones). But they arenāt in the real world! And this one especially is about the teenage protagonist discovering her own power through the stories she imagines for herself. Of course it would be creepy if the Goblin King was her real-life teacher or older neighbour or whatever. But heās not! He exists only for her, and has only the power she gives him. And itās fine if she wants him a bit predatory - sheās allowed to explore any kind of fantasy she wants, sheās allowed to discover what she likes to think about, sheās allowed to grow up.
I know its kind of a meme but there were earnest āmy mom sold me to one directionā fics and those are absolutely the same kind of fantasy as Jarleth is - teenage girls often want to have romance and passion but they also dont want it to be their āfaultā that they got these things.

I love rebloging. Itās the adult equivalent of showing everyone the cool rock I just found.
What do you mean āchatā is now referring to ChatGPT and not twitch chat? What? What? What the fuck? No?
When I address chat I am speaking to a presumed Greek chorus of real human people shitposting on their lunch break, not a machine that devours lakes to covert electricity into slop.
