Rant and memes under the cut:
i'm confident in my ability to write and draw, but sometimes you'll catch me dropping some banger story analysis (i don't usually bother cause i assume everyone already noticed the underlying themes and that the stuff i see is just obvious). my specialty is starting things and not finishing them. I never fall in love, but i sure do fall out of love a lot!
my mouth filter is permanently fucked up, and i am so so tired all of the time except when i'm enthusiastic and volatile!
I love words and their definitions, i love every color of the sky except that fucking post, i love space and i love the ocean. I will talk about fandoms i know nothing about, and i do want to hear about your blorbo. If i didn't respond its because i got eaten by the vortex. it happens multiple times a day, so be ready for that. never be afraid to follow up on something later, because if you don't i might take multiple years to respond! yes, seriously.
I love blocking people! I'll do it over basically nothing and it's lots of fun! it's called curating your online experience babyy. im here to have a good time!
every once and a while ill go through the entire tag of something and reblog posts until i hit my post limit. it's lots a fun and youre along for the ride! (I try to throw some of them in the queue but ehh)
now! prepare yourself for a sequence of banners that are the entire reason I made this post (as in. i made a pinned post just so i could have cool banners)
Please note, the banners were chosen on vibes alone and also i love lying.
Ended up making a bunch of images so that the Caine banner I stole off @/hugsohugs would have friends. Oopsie

i will say i think the biggest potential point toward it NOT being a standard eridian speech pattern in the movie is the fact that rocky doesn't use it sometimes, the most notable being when grace confirms he's going to die. "why didn't you tell me?" has no question indicator. you could argue it's a storytelling choice, maybe to keep the flow of a relatively serious conversation, but he doesn't even do the double tap, which could have been left in pretty unobtrusively
the other instance that comes to mind is when he's explaining the 'fishing' plan to what he thinks is a live feed to earth. and honestly that one's even more interesting, because while the 'question?' text-to-speech is missing, he DOES do a double tap, *after* he doesn't get an answer. it's translated as 'hello???'
possibly even more unpopular read that i’m 100% certain about: eridians ending sentences with ‘statement’ is absolutely not a thing at all. the only time rocky does that in the entire movie is a callback to when grace said it during the fishing trip
As others have pointed out before, if you visited a web page 20 years ago and it acted like that, you would rightly assume your computer had gotten a virus.

steam repeatedly notifying you that a friend is booting up a game thats clearly not cooperating feels like ur sitting inside and someone outside keeps trying to rev up a lawnmower
The oldest living tree ever found was a pine named “Prometheus.” It had been alive since before the Egyptian pyramids were built. Some guy cut it down in 1964. Source
he was actually a forestry graduate student who was doing research on bristlecone pines (Pinus langaevea) and got his increment borer stuck in the tree. this tool costs almost $800, so he asked the forest service if he could cut down the tree to recover the tool. after cutting it down, it became apparent that the tree was actually the oldest living organism. ever. (around 8,000 years old). so, not just some asshole. the guy feels extremely guilty and has even broken down in tears during an interview about the accident
So after the grad student cut down the tree and discovered it was the oldest tree in the world he quit studying forestry and went to study salt flats (can’t cut down the oldest trees in the world on salt flats no siree none of that happening) and he was being interviewed about his research, but in the middle of the interview the reporter just stops and says “wait aren’t the guy that…”
And he just takes off running. Literally. Turns around and runs across the salt flats away from the interview and I feel so bad for him but I can’t help but start crying I’m laughing so hard about it
imagine a guy high tailing it across salt flats away from a dude with a recorder
its so different to know it was an accident and that NO ONE was aware until after. its not like this was one ignorant guy cutting down a fucking relic.
There are a lot of fake Wigglypaint sites and apps and a lot of them have stolen art in their galleries!
The program is originally from itch.io. The owners of these fake sites stole work from the artists who posted their wigglypaint drawings on itch.io so they could have something in their community galleries to lure people into thinking they were legit.
I've been talking to artists whose work was stolen here on tumblr and on instagram and everywhere else and absolutely no one whose art was taken from itch ever gave permission for their art to be used by any of these fake sites.
Wigglypaint.com: Art theft.
Jigglypaint app / Jigglypaint.com: Art theft.
Wiggly-paint.com: Art theft.
Wigglypaint.run: Art theft.
Wigglypaint.fun: Art theft.
Wigglypaint.online: Art theft.
And so on.
Even Wigglypaint.net, which doesn't steal art directly, uses AI-generated images to advertise their subscription plan ($49usd/year) while blocking comments that mention the username of the original creator of Wigglypaint in the social area.
All these sites are trying to get artist's money for a free art program.
Wigglypaint is always free on itch.io from the original creator, or you can use free 16-color modded versions like WigglyPaintPlus. (Or mod the program yourself! You don't even need to know how to code.)
But please, please don't give money to art thieves, AI bros and scammers.
The writeup about all of these sites can be found here.
If you think you might be an affected artist you can search for your itch.io display name in this spreadsheet. It may load slowly, there are more than 2000 instances of art theft in there.
saw someone post "I don't understand why anyone would have separate 'winter tires' unless they're just looking for things to spend money on" and looked at her account and she's from LA. which is funny but I think we're all guilty of similar behavior sometimes. if you see people spending time and effort on something that seems stupid to you it's worth considering whether you're the Californian in this scenario

Insane how having a crush will make people feel like they get a say over the person they have a crush on's bodily autonomy. This also applies to dating and being married. What do you mean you style your hair a certain way because your partner tells you to. What the fuck is wrong with you people.
There are four categories of people you will meet: Underlings, superiors, rivals, and love interests. One of my underlings has been attempting to convince me of the existence of a fifth category, "friend", which appears to have no purpose. I suspect it is a ploy to get out of performing her duties.
The densest people on the internet are the ones who say sci fi and fantasy are getting too political. Why can’t we go back to the good old days of The Twilight Zone, with its various episodes about mob mentality and the danger of mass paranoia that totally weren’t about the Red Scare. Or Star Wars and its genocidal empire of racially homogeneous Aryan men. Or Dune with its religious tribal peoples who live in a desert that contains the galaxy’s most valuable resource and the wars with the foreign colonizers, that was purely from Frank Herbert’s imagination. Can you imagine how much Star Trek would suck if it was packed to the brim with ham-fisted allegories of every societal issue of the 20th century. Not like all this modern ultra-political stuff, like a woman hero.

rocky's crew died because of radiation poisoning, something humans have studied so extensively grace was able to recognize it in a second. grace's crew died because nobody was watching them sleep, something eridians do for each other naturally
Far far deep in my assorted notes is a bunch of ideas involving Lila and Adrien and their "friendship", more specifically chronicling every single time Adrien did something to piss Lila off 😭 I've grown very attached to the idea that they're two very similar people who can go through the motions of acting civil yet cannot STAND the other. Lila is too mean and Adrien is too quirky. By the time Adrien grows a spine and stops taking Lila's bullshit without standing up for himself (i.e. purse smacking, verbal insults, screaming...), he's perfectly able to match her energy and start pissing her off on purpose instead of just by accident.
These are all snippets from VoxPop, though, so thankfully they're not doomed to Secret WIP Hell. Adrien, I love you and your bizarre off-putting swag.
