Please Reply To This Post/message Me If You RP The Game Watch_Dogs! I'm Currently Playing Through The

So I had an idea for a thing:

I remember @sensoryseeker used to do something called Stim Toy Saturdays where folks would submit pictures of their favourite stim toys, but that was several years ago by this point. I want to start up something similar to that again, because seeing other people’s stim toys is awesome and great for discovering new ways to stim! Would anyone be interested if I revived Stim Toy Saturdays? I would probably choose a different day though (Stim Toy Tuesday maybe?), but yeah, let me know if there is interest and I will set something up!!!

(Edit: all replies will be trough my main, which is ‘montrealite’)

So, to SPN blogs... I get it that you want to enforce the fact that the fandom will stay together after the show ends next year. I get that you want to talk about what happened. I get that discussions are going on. I get it. That's fine. However, a lot of us (Including me!) are still incredibly emotionally raw from the news. Some people might not even know, and have only just heard about it from this post. Some of us just want to curl up and cry, and don't give a single flying fuck what anybody else has to say about the news. So basically, I get what you're trying to say/do. But maybe wait with the inspirational text posts and the gifsets and the discussions and the "OMG LOOK AT THIS!!!" until the people who are emotionally raw feel that they can log onto Tumblr and take a glance at their dash and not burst into tears, all without having to block tags that includes things that they might actually want to see. You get me? From 2020 onwards, Supernatural is gone. We won't see Sam and Dean, or Castiel, or whoever your favourite character is... Ever again. We won't see a singular glimpse of any of them on our screens outside of Netflix and reruns, ever again, unless by some miracle, we get either a movie, or a reboot of the show. And that's powerful stuff. I'm a teensy-tiny blog with few original posts and mostly reblogged stuff, but if you see this, please take this to heart. I can't log onto Tumblr now without seeing SOMETHING to do with the show ending on my dash, and it just makes me want to curl up and cry because I get so emotional. I can bet you that there are other people who feel the same way. So, I'm begging you, anybody who posts SPN-related content... Either tag your posts clearly as related to SPN ending so that people don't have to block the whole Supernatural tag, or don't post anything to do with it for a while. Okay? Okay.

the whole “mermaids are all colourful and friendly and wear seashells as clothes and collect sparkly things and sing to the fish” is definitely appealing, 10/10, but let’s be realistic for a sec.

the ocean is scary as shit.

as humans, we have only explored about 5% of the ocean. meaning, we have seen very, very little of what lives in the ocean.

in that mere 5% we know about, while we have found some awesome stuff (coral reefs, starfish, dolphins, fish that glow!!!), we have found some absolute fucking monsters. huge sharks, giant squids, eels, some pretty freaky fish, the list goes on.

so, let’s be realistic.

you’re gonna look me in the eyes and tell me that all mermaids are dainty little figures with brightly coloured tails, long, flowing hair, big blue eyes and perfect white teeth? no. way.

show me the mermaids that live in the deepest parts of the ocean, of places man has never, and will never, get to. show me mermaids who hunt in packs, who don’t sing, but rather shrill and screech, or are so silent that you don’t notice them until it’s too late. show me the mermaids with grey, silver, multicolour, scaly skin and eyes that glow yellow in the dark and teeth that make great whites look friendly. show me the mermaids with coral and plankton and barnacles growing on their skin, with kelp in their hair.

give me mermaids who can camouflage into their enviorment, who can shoot ink, who can electrocute unsuspecting prey. give me giant mermaids with tails like eels or like jellyfish or like sharks, that will kill anything they see, that can cause tsunamis with a wave of their hands. give me mermaids who are ripped, with no hair, with fangs. give me mermaids with armour similar to crabs, with flesh harder than rock, with nails like talons. give me mermaids that have hidden themselves away from man in the furthest reaches of the depths, who have slowly evolved to look more monster than girl.

bring me the mermaids that no one wants to acknowledge, the ones that fuel nightmares and folk tales and urban legends.

bring me the diversity, the reality, of the ocean into mermaids.

Jack Harkness and English

Random thought about Jack Harkness :D

So Jack comes from the 51st century, right? Even if his native language is called English (which I highly doubt), it sure isn’t 21st century English and he can’t understand or speak it. He probably speaks some universal language well enough as well as his native language. But he was a Time Agent, which means his job included interactions with people from other time and other cultures and they all certainly didn’t learn a new language every few missions. So the Time Agency used translators. But was it transplanted or something in his Vortex Manipulator? For all we know, Jack could actually be speaking another language all day long, and hear his own language in response.

But he does say things like “Ianto I need to hear those beautiful Welsh vowels” (or something like that), so he hears accents. I’m not an expert on hypothetical future implanted translator (I know, deception) and they could very well manage to translate accents, but let’s assume that by that time Jack is speaking fully English and hears the Welsh accent in English sentences (so he has a translator he can turn off on his Vortex Manipulator.)

What’s interesting is: that would mean that he actually had to learn English.

Now, do I want to imagine Jack asking someone to write everything he says and recording himself somehow and once alone he stops the translator and listens to try and see which words are which? You bet I do! Jack having trouble with English and questioning words like pineapple, really? Jack having a complicated mother language and finding English conjugation to be a big joke. Jack wondering what a coma is because it sure didn’t exist for him.

Yes, I want Jack very confused at the English language :D

Fantasy Guide to Palaces, Castles, Houses and Homes

We to live in a great fantasy land? A hidden hollow in a tree? An underground city? Perhaps, if real estate is good. So lets go top to bottom.

Palace

This is where the royals usually live. This style is less medieval and more Enlightenment chic. Royals can live in castles of course but if they are fashionable they have a palace.

Castles

Castles are not exactly the most cosy place to live. They are built for defense rather than comfort. Castles can be inhabited by royals and nobles.

Manors, mansions and manses

These are great houses seen more often around modern times. These houses are usually surrounded by great parkland for hunting. Nobles usually inhabit them.

House

A house in a fantasy setting usually refers to a double storey home. Owned by the well to do common folk.

Cottage

A small one storey home in the county.

Hovel

The real bottom of the property market. Made from sticks, shit or peat, this home is usually a single room and usually shared by the livestock on a bad winter.

Reblog to save a Muslim

As you probably know, Punish A Muslim day is coming up on the third of April. Any Muslim who lives in England is in danger so please stay home. Don’t send your children to school. DON’T GO OUT on the 3rd of April. My non Muslim friends, please reblog this, one of your followers could benefit from it.

Right. I feel incredibly awkward doing this, but Tumblr - I need writing advice.

Basically, I’m writing a story, and one of my characters is blind in one eye. I recognise that life with partial blindness is different to fully sighted life. However, I’m fully sighted, and I don’t want to accidentally make mistakes or offend anybody. So... I have some questions. If anybody with knowledge about any of this can answer anything, or throw in extra info, that would be great!

First off, a little background about my character. He was born fully sighted, but got into a fight at 16, and got stabbed in his left eye. He survived the attack, but even with heavy surgery, he wound up blind in his left eye, whilst his right eye can see perfectly well. He’s now 19 years old, and has a job as a hacker/computer specialist/hacktivist. Now, for the questions!

1: Is there any way that being partially blind heavily affects day-to-day life? I know that depth perception would be heavily impaired or completely gone, because of biology, but I have a feeling that there’s more to it, and it’s different from full blindness/impaired eyesight in both eyes. So, I’m just checking on this.

2: Would any adjustments have to be made to living spaces to accommodate him? (He currently lives on the road/out of his car, if that affects anything. On the same note, could he actually drive? Because of the depth perception.)

3: Are there any other effects that partial blindness has on one’s life that I might be overlooking? Like, emotional effects, mental wellbeing, etc etc.

4: Would it be an effective idea for me to buy an eyepatch and cover my left eye with it for one or two weeks, or is that incredibly offensive and not a good idea? I might edit or follow up on this post with more questions in the future if more arise. Please tell me if I’ve been offensive here, or made mistakes with phrasing, tags, anything! I don’t want to accidentally be rude! Thanks in advance for any advice people might be able to give. :)

T'challa, a weary sibling, testing new gear: is this a prank

Shuri, ignoring the 42 hidden 360° cameras, 26 hidden audio recorders, her YouTube livestream, her Instagram livestream, the camera she hid in his shirt for a first person pov, Peter Parker on the ceiling, the camera in her hair, Nakia behind the door, and all the Dora Milaje staring through the window: no
