I'm New So I Don't Know What Is Going On But I Am Afraid To Ask.

Another crochet lace ribbon almost done. They’re yellow for the hostages held by Hamas, the Palestinian Islamic Jihad, and whomever else. Let me know if you have any ideas for what I should do with them, or if you’re also Jewish and like to crochet.

It works on dragons, too.

Some thoughts I wrote for Valentine's days about relationship anarchy and how no one really knows what romantic love means (alt text below)

As an asexual person who doesn't really understand the concept of romantic love I have discovered that aloalo people have no idea of what having romantic feelings is o feels like. I have learnt a lot more about what love means in the aro community and the polyam and relationship anarchy community.

And I thought it would be cool to show some of that stuff I have learnt that should be obvious but people usually forget, (which I understand, life doesn't come with a rules book).

1. Love isn't a limited resource. You can have romantic feelings for more than one people and it's okay and normal! The same way you can have more than one best friend and love them all as much. Romantic love doesn't have to be restricted.

2. Your love for your partner is not better or superior than the love you have for other people. Amatonormativity makes us all think than we all desire a relationship on top of everything else. Which is stupid. All kinds of relationships can be as much fulfilling and everyone is different. Your love for a partner, a qpr, a friend, your family, your community, all are equally important in their own ways.

3. Some people don't want or need to have a romantic relationship, or a sexual relationship, or any kind of couple-like relationship to feel happy with their lifes and that's great! Aromantic people are amazing and it's hard to navigate a world so much focused on romance.

4. The attraction split model was created by the asexual community as a way to help define their orientation more specifically. And though it may not be useful to everyone I personally think it's very useful to learn and do some introspection about how many types of attraction we can feel. Humans are not machines and not everything can or needs to be defined, but giving words to our emotions is fundamental to understand how we work.

5. Despite what I said in the last slide, it's imposible to reduce everything to closed boxes, and that's a good thing too, you don't need to restrict your feelings to fit into normative standards. Don't let anyone tell you how you should or shouldn't love.

To conclude: Just love your friends. Take care of everyone you care about, built a community, don't let anyone tell who you should and shouldn't love and how to do so and be nice to others.

Tell your friends how much you appreciate them, buy them chocolates, give your mother flowers, kiss your partners goodnight, fight against amatonormativity, listen to our aromantic siblings.

And enjoy this day, thank you if you have read all this bible until this end <3

Turn your handwriting into a font

I discovered this by accident and I thought it was really funny and cute:

1. Download the template from MyScriptFont website

2. Write out the alphabet and numbers in your style, using a black marker (felt pen). This is mine:

3. Scan the template  4. Upload to the MyScriptFont website, name it, set the format and click “send file” 5. Download it to your computer and install

And check out my result!

i’m willing to believe some people are genuinely idiots who don’t know that 90%+ of polish jews were killed in the holocaust (and made up half of all poles killed in wwii), but. it’s almost like this shit helps nothing and no one

Hey everyone. I remember reading an HTTYD fanfic titled "My Hiccup," and one of the plots was Alvin enslaving the Berserker tribe with Dagur trying to free them. And though why the hell not make this into a ROBTD comic with Alvin as the main bad guy? Of course, Pitch and others are in this too.

Finally!! The words in this were based off of Hiccup’s narration in the first book of the How to Train Your Dragon series by Cressida Cowell. I’ve been working on this for a few months now (on and off) and finally just finished it for the Dragons 2 release. Happy flying for those who are going to see it!!! :)

I had to oddly compress everything because of Tumblr formatting x__X make sure you click the 3 mini pictures after the first/second panel!!!

I'm currently trying to world build a magical school for my fantasy realm. I'm having a hard time finding sources online. Any general advice for fantasy schools?

For starters, you want to have your magic system fleshed out really thoroughly. What good is teaching a bunch of kids how to use a magic system that you, the author, don't really know how it works, right!? If you haven't done this, you might check out my Brainstorming posts Here (Part 1) and Here (Part 2) to get started.

Beyond that, you need to think about some school basics:

Are all children educated in magic? Or only the most talented, the richest, or the poorest?

How does society at large feel about magic education and how does that impact the freedom and funds of the school?

(Related:) What kind of teachers are employed at the school? The best and brightest or the shlufs who couldn't make it in a "real" school? How does that affect the education of the students?

How does general education play into the lives of the students? Do they go to primary school first where they learn to read and write etc. or is that part of the their magic school curriculum?

How much danger is there in the day-to-day of the school? Is the magic difficult to use and therefore generally not a risk? Is it ubiquitous and therefore maintains some inherent balance? Is it difficult to use and therefore volatile and unpredictable?

What is the purpose of receiving a magic education and what do its students aspire to do after completing school?

I hope these help you out little bit. :)

Happy building!
