The Rise of Kyoshi; very gay 

« "Come on," she said. "Cheer up. I didn't mean to send you into a spiral."

"I can't cheer up. I'm in Horse stance."

"I like your focus," Rangi said. "But see if you can withstand this."

She slid between Kyoshi's arms and gave her a head-tilting, knee-buckling kiss, as powerful and deep as the ocean after a storm.

Kyoshi's eyes went wide before they shut forever. She sank into heavenly darkness. Her backbone turned to liquid. "*Maintain,*" Rangi murmured, her lips like a feather on Kyoshi's before she attacked again, with added ferocity this time. »

@witchfynder_finder i mean i also don't care about christmas so they are just Winter Decorations

@witchfynder_finder the kibi calendar compensates for christmas decoration day by calling it “Witchnight” and claiming that the purpose of the lights and decorations is to scare away spooky creatures

considering you are goblin, maybe it works?

how are these people not immensely frustrated with the quality of their webpage

Question about Drawing / Art :boost_ok:​ 

@lapis @noelle the one thing i see again and again re: drawing is the idea that your drawing should be recognizable whether you’ve been working on it two minutes or two hours. drawing from life is useful if you “have the eye of an artist” and “know how to draw”: if you can look at something, discern its fundamental shapes, and make a quick sketch which captures its “motion”. but it’s easy to get embroiled in details and photorealism and miss out on those fundamental skills.

i think one thing which can help with making art is learning how to “read” art critically: how to look at someone else’s artwork and understand the decisions and approaches they made as an artist. this won’t make you instantly good at those things, but if you can better understand what other people are doing, then you will have an idea of what you yourself need to study.

The Rise of Kyoshi 

« “Those aren’t excuses to murder him!”

“You’re right. They’re not excuses—they’re ample justifications. I guarantee you that many citizens have suffered immensely from his greed and negligence, and many more will die if he is allowed to keep breathing.” »

The Rise of Kyoshi 

« The darkness of her abandonment must have boiled to her surface as the three of them trudged uphill back toward town, because Rangi ran the back of her nails down Kyoshi’s hand, a playful and teasing distraction that held more meaning now than a hundred volumes of history. Kyoshi nearly tripped and fell on her face. »

:blobmeow_happy: having a calendar full of important days

:blobmeow_terrified: coming up with names for the days

@KitRedgrave @witchfynder_finder with clocks it’s less the fact that it’s an analogue gauge and more the whole “simultaneously base‐12 and base‐60” thing; kids are like “oh no i have to multiply by 5”

it’s probably possible to replace all analogue clock interfaces with digital interfaces in our world today, but that’s putting the cart before the horse. that’s like saying “there’s no need to learn more than Basic English because that’s what all newspapers are written in.” it’s true that we can create that world. but a better world would be one in which everybody had the proficiency to read clocks.

some things you gotta lose; some things are worth keeping

as a student of Marxism, one must learn to look beyond appearances and understand the true essence of things
