That’s the point. These are artificial colors, most night vision systems are monochrome, which takes away a lot of detail, specially when you want to use them to read anything, like that road sign.
Holy fuck thats night time
Hold my pancakes THIS IS NIGHTTIME??!?
Those are fucking STARS
Welcome to the club of people who can seenin the dark.
Oh, just so folks know, that thing where some Homestuck character tags have randomly been assigned nsfw is also still a thing, with the current crop of Tumblr issues.
Currently you can’t use Tumblr search for Equius Zahhak, Aradia Megido, Signless, or Dualscar.
For Equius, Tumblr suggests “Homestuck Equius”. You can search Sufferer. No version of Aradia’s name is available at all.
Porrim Maryam and Horuss Zahhak are also right out.
Why them? Who knows. It used to be Kanaya Maryam was blocked. But now that you can’t fix it by turning safe mode off under most circumstances, it would seem that this site is of limited use to this fandom.
I went and updated my blog description to contain my usernames for dreamwidth, twitter, and discord, which are nivq87, except discord where i’m niv#8283. If I find/hear about another other mediums I might feel like trying, i’ll post about that too and update the description then. In the mean time, if you want to find me in a hypothetical ‘tumblr blows the fuck up spontaneously and we’re struggling to find each other,’ those are all ways of finding me again.
WELL THEN. didn’t even make it a whole week since posting this before everything went ‘female presenting nipples’ up.
as a side note, I also just made a wordpress blog that I am currently have import my whole tumblr, up until just before this post, probably, cause idk if it’ll catch this one.
idk what the future holds for me here, but I’m not gonna queue stuff anymore I don’t think. I, apparently, have at some point, reblogged or posted something sensitive in the last 5 years, and this is why my draecember stuff isn’t showing up in tags, I guess? but I still see me in my usual original post tag? basically tumblr is still inconsistent, right up to the end.
I’m actively keeping an eye out for mutuals and other people i follow’s posts about where they can be found, as well as community/fandom discords to join. Since I’m most established here on my sprawling interest garbage heap, and therefore very much not established anywhere else, i’m not gonna make this a mutuals only club. any ims, asks, or replies here about places you’re all at are super welcome and I’ll check them out too.
OH RIGHT also my battletag is niv#11523
I’ll make a cleaner version of this post later that’s easier to spam, but as a last word, while I’m not immediately planning on leaving, I am spreading out and trying to find people so that this isn’t the Only place I know where folks are at and if I get randobanned or you do, then nobody is Lost lost.
one of my favorite things about the pokemon universe is how the humans are esp. the bad guys
like mob boss giovonni can pull out a glock and waste my 10 y/o ass but he doesn’t he just accepts that i knocked out his cat and hands me money
I have my own theory that humans in the Pokemon world don’t even have a concept of direct violence. They settle all disputes through Pokemon battles, but also a human without pokemon is entirely helpless. This might lend its self further to the notion that humans can’t venture outside of towns without bringing trained pokemon to protect them. Like, can Pokemon world humans even throw a punch? I think the notion of humans ever directly using violence against one another without pokemon involved is something they can’t even think of.
In one of the movies ash just straight up clocks lucario
ash is innovative in a world where humans can’t punch
*steeples fingers* okay so I know this is a humorous fun joke but like…
Let’s think about this for a moment.
Mob Boss Giovanni probably has a gun. Given the level of technological development in pokemon’s universe it’s very unlikely that nobody invented gunpowder or ever thought to put it together into a weapon, or that Giovanni would procure one.
Let’s also assume the average ten-year-old bright-eyed pokemon trainer is not wearing a bulletproof vest, or has particularly impressive gun dodging abilities.
Giovanni shoots child, Giovanni probably dies immediately.
… i had not considered the MAD implications of pokemon.
i mean, when you think about it, the only thing protecting that entire world from rampaging monsters is that the monsters really like to be friends with people.
You ever write up a post you decide will be too controversial or embarrassing but leave it in your drafts to sleep on and then forget about it? How about real personal stuff you weren’t sure you wanted to share at the time? Heavy-ass receipts on bad shit you’re leaving there only just in case you’re forced to use them?
Well if any of your drafts get flagged by the new system, a mod can apparently see them in with all your other flagged posts, and if they un-flag them, it publishes them automatically as a brand new post. MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!
First, a note: I ask that people please reblog this to spread this since the tags are kinda unusable right now, especially when a post has external links within it.
Dreamwidth has been my main active posting platform for a year and a half now, and I’ve noticed a lot of bloggers talking about jumping ship over to DW with tumblr’s uhhhhhh current state of affairs.
But DW is kinda bland and boring if you’re too young to have been of the LiveJournal generation, and therefore don’t know where to look or start in order to build your friends list and find communities, so I’m going to do some of the legwork for you.
the_great_tumblr_purge: I made a dw community specifically for people jumping ship from tumblr to reconnect with each other.
addme: a friending community where you pimp yourself out and find other people with similar interests that you might want to see on your reading page.
addme_fandom: similar to above, only with a stronger emphasis on finding people based on your fandoms.
fandomcalendar: a community where you can find fandom events, such as big bangs, exchanges, challenges, bingos, etc. and other fandom communities that might suit your interests.
If anybody else has communities they want to add, go right ahead and add them in a reblog.
Please reblog this.
I started Captorfic (dot dreamwidth dot org) back when I joined the Homestuck fandom and before I grudgingly moved to Tumblr, and I’m quite happy to resume operations there if folks want a place to share or enjoy this particular sort of niche fandom content.
Art is also welcome and I’ll gladly update the description in a bit to note that and open it to works featuring other yellowblood trolls.
Speaking of which, is anyone running an active general purpose Homestuck community right now? It didn’t seem so a few days ago, but a lot has just changed.
There’s something naggingly familiar about the Catra fandom that I can’t quite place. Like, I’m sure there’s a reason acrimonious discourse about whether identifying with a melodramatic schemer sporting mismatched eyes, big hair, and a complicated relationship with her abusive spider-themed mother figure makes you a bad person is ringing a bell, but I can’t quite put my finger on it.
To be 100% clear, I’m not saying “Catra is Vriska”; the similarities between the two characters are, while amusing, superficial and likely coincidental.
What I am saying is “quibbling about whether identifying with Catra makes you a garbage person is a reflection of the same reactionary ethos of media criticism that spawned the Vriscourse”.
