How To Show Emotions

Gorgeous art!

once again in shambles emotionally bc of this fictional character (diluc genshin impact)

Today I watched a two-part episode of Stargate called The Fourth Horseman. It was so terrifyingly close to modern 2020 and COVID-19 that I almost cried. The worst part about sci-fi is that sometimes it actually can predict the future. Kind of like how the the Expanse covers a lot of politics that our modern world is heading into.

points and laughs at my mutuals getting famous posts while i remain safe in my relative obscurity

heartbreaking:

a nice warm quilt/throw blanket

a bat'leth

a professional dental pick set

a large tome written in an unreadable language

a heated sock drawer

several chairs

a room dedicated to wet specimen display

Before you hit send on that ask, reblog, or reply, remember to stop and PROOFREAD!

am I Pissing on the Poor?

did I Read the post in bad faith?

could I be Overexaggerating?

am I Out of line for saying this?

is it kind of Fucked up to say that to a total stranger?

is what I said Rude?

am I being Egotistical?

am I Angry at words that weren't in the post?

did I Dream up a pretend person to get mad at?

ONLY YOU CAN PREVENT YOURSELF FROM LOOKING LIKE A JACKASS ONLINE!

Very brave of me to make a set of illustrations that's 90% hands

Anyway. This is about my personal theories/headcanons about the vision requirements

hold on i need to engineer an image that will cast 20 psychic damage on a niche group of people

I'm starting to feel like the reason why so many people on Tumblr have such a high Shot Dog Response to everything they see is because they're trying to fit a nuanced worldview into an all-or-nothing brain, like shoving to a square peg into a round hole.

So while they understand that the "all X is Y" world view they've been taught is wrong, the concept of "not all X is always Y" is far too complex for their little brain, so it gets simplified into "no X is ever Y", and that's the stance that they are going to defend to death from now on.

Like they'll scroll through tumblr and see someone's post that's like "the bus driver that drives my route every morning has shaved his big moustache so for a second I didn't recognise him" and the thought process going on in their little brain is

Bus driver=he? He/him=male pronouns. All bus drivers ≠ male.

And the outraged reply they jump to is "how dare you assume that your bus driver was male just because they had a moustache, maybe they are nonbinary, nonbinary people can have a moustache without you assuming that they're male."

I’m going to take away your media literacy skills
