so I made protomen teas
kovaniy:
the labels are terrible and use stolen art in a few cases and Emily doesn’t even have one but I like the descriptions and the actual blends so if… anyone wants Protomen tea… (and if you own label artwork and want me to take it down let me know)
The Son of Light - Innocent, sweet, with a core of fiery vengeance just beneath
Protoman’s Hope - Bitter, spicy, and smoky, a tea that rides...

turnupthesignal:
It occurred to me that since my education, I had lost the means to describe the thing before me. Razor could have done it. Angel would have done so with exceptional grace. But words cannot cage such a thing, and in finding words to shape myself and to cage the world around me, I had lost my song.
Not wholly. We never really lose our song. But just as you,...

thewalrusisagod replied to your post: When did “feminism” become a dirty word?
I hardly think it’s a feminist issue if men at the bar would rather watch Nascar than women’s soccer.
Yeah, it’s totally not a feminist issue when a group of mothers and daughters, including one girl who knew more about soccer than anyone else I’ve ever met (there were about ten people in this...

When did "feminism" become a dirty word?
The greatest trick the establishment ever pulled was convincing us that feminism is a dirty word.
The other day, I was sitting my graduate-level writing class, critiquing a friend’s essay, as we always do. Said friend has really blossomed as a nonfiction writer, going from writing the typical slop about ex-boyfriends her first year to a bouncing fun narrative about being in sports fandom...

Who out there can honestly say they weren’t thrilled by the Mag-Lev rides while playing Riven? It still gives me goosebumps, and I love it.

It could be a group project maybe. Everybody can write one or two stories, and then we can put them together.

but one more thing /unclefromjackiechansadventures
musically, I wouldn’t want this to be at all like the Protomen, if that were a thing. Inspired by the concept of “Reboot 1980s childhood videogame into something loud, beautiful, and also on some level terrifying?” yes. “The Protomen BUT WITH POKEMANZ” no
for instance, rather than the folk/western stuff I’d...

You're all going about this wrong
If I were to create a gritty reboot rock opera based on Pokemon, it would involve the following:
Acknowledgement of the fact that this is basically legalized cockfighting, and how brutal such a sport would be in real life
Further acknowledgement of the fact that in the cases of sentient Pokemon, this is hideous slavery
Ash is instead a freedom fighter who treats his Pokemon as valued friends...

dytabytes replied to your post: somebody write me a short 1-2 minute introduction
Hi my name is Teal and I’m a Protomaster. I also only date planes. *moonwalks out*
yes good
somebody write me a short 1-2 minute introduction
I’m doing a reading at Emerson College’s Graduate Reading Series, and i need to introduce myself. I could writ something on my own, but I’m lazy. Possibly I will just take your suggestions and smash them together into one horrifying chimerical unit.

deflare replied to your post: I want Deus Ex: Human Revolution and Mass Effect…
Hmm. It would blend together pretty seamlessly, really; Cerberus would fit in with the various DX secret societies nicely. I’m terrified by the idea of the Illuminati and NWO extending recruitment to non-humans.
Bwahahahaha etc, yes?

>u< I’m glad you replied, I’ve been kind of scared to message you or anything before this. But yeah, I know that feel. All this writing, and I’m all “…hnope, gotta Minecraft/draw/fart around”

deflare asked: *not arrogant enough to assume that I'm not in the 'who are you' category* Fan of your Homestuck fanfiction who sticks around because you're intelligent and usually blog about stuff I find interesting. Also following you on Google+. Unfortunately, I don't think I'll be getting around to cosplaying David Lalonde, more's the pity. Ah, well.
Howdy guys :)

darkkaomi asked: Hey! I found you after following Kovaniy but I didn't start following you until I saw your reply to Billosopher's post about what makes a good female character. It was so well thought out and brilliant that I had to follow you. It was required.
I had a really great feminism rant
but then I got home and had a headache
I’m going to just put down as a note to self, that the greatest trick society ever pulled was convincing us that “feminism” was a dirty word
(had a class discussion in a class that was nothing but women where everyone was like “I don’t want to call myself a ‘feminist’, but…” and I was like D: )

I'm a girl who happened to come across your analysis on titles (I think you did it a long time ago), and I totally dug it.
