pacific rim really went OFF with drift compatibility. like, there was absolutely no reason the jaegers couldn’t be piloted by a single person; a bunch of teenagers managed it just fine solo in evangelion, but guillermo del toro was like “nah, we’re gonna reinvent the concept of soulmates with mecha and kaiju” and then went and did just that, the absolute madman,

Yo, the deal with trauma is that it doesn’t just come with mental anguish, but physical implications. Suddenly your weight starts fluctuating, you’re getting sick all the time with viral or bacterial infections, you’re not eating right and your skin’s breaking out and that part takes time to fix! Your mental health starts stabilising after consistent effort, but getting on track with the sleep, diet, exercise and immune system takes a while. Be patient with yourself.

Hedonism as a concept is so dope and yall gotta unbrainwash your religious upbringing nostalgia and realize that life IS about kicking back and eating grapes around a fire in nothing but a swim suit and drinking margaritas. A little hedonism never hurt nobody

It’s quite likely no coincidence that that most ‘mismanaged’ and least profitable social media site is also the one that turned out to be most amenable to the formation of actual communities

To clarify, Tumblr is indeed horribly mismanaged, but notably, it’s mismanaged both in ways that harm us (e.g. doing little about pornbots, nazis, etc.) and ways that have greatly benefited us – not asking for real names, hiding our follower counts, a chronologically-sorted dashboard, etc. are big draws, but in the eyes of other social media monarchs, they look like unforgivable mistakes. If I don’t have to give my real name, that’s that much less information to sell to advertisers. If posts are listed chronologically, Tumblr can’t shove the posts of ‘influencers’ in front of me willy-nilly. Tumblr was a ‘success’ because it was too poorly managed to sufficiently atomize us, and so we actually had conversations and communities instead of being the best products for advertisers.

A little compilation of my favorite Laurianos pictures I painted between 2016-2018. When I first picked up Captive Prince, I would have never imagined I’d draw Damen and Laurent so many times. They motivated me to become a better artist, so I carry these characters in my heart and I am very thankful for them. ♡
