But It Was Fun - Tumblr Posts
1. i like food but I'm also picky about the stuff i eat. i don't usually try out new stuff and the stuff i already like, it has to be done in a specific way
2. i like reading well written character studies
3. i like doing quizzes on uquiz and other sites
for the color guess ask thingy. thanks in advance!
EXPECT MY GASP AND GIDDINESS-
I feel like you might probably like soft pastel colours OR dark or bright bold colours? Yk what i mean? I think you like having aesthetics as well Some People Don't
Maybe a bold blood red? Or maybe a bright spring green- you give me golden yellow vibes as well (well spring vibes but also that tinge of monsoon wind)
Defo black and maybe green or pastel colours
Thank you for the ask T_T
My 100th post! I thought I'd redraw my first post on this account for it, but with post timeskip designs instead
“knowing what happens after”
i cant stop thinking about it.
the brief feeling of elation
(after twenty three years of watching children die. forty six children in total - sons and daughters of people who used to be his friends, acquaintances, neighbours. twenty three years of drowning in grief and loss. blaming himself for it all entirely. after twenty three years haymitch abernathy finally manages to bring someone back. a boy who is better than he ever was, and a girl who feels like looking in the mirror)
followed by abject despair.
(they’ve survived the games and he might have still led them to their deaths. he’s no better than the capitol, he’s readied yet another pair of children for the chopping block, and after katniss’s stunt with the berries heads are bound to roll)
something about haymitch abernathy and his bloodstained hands. how they have been soaked with Twelve blood for over two decades. ever since maysilee died in his arms. how he searches for forgiveness at the bottom of a bottle and he never finds it.
"I give you- the tributes of District Twelve!"
I can't even begin to imagine what Haymitch must have been feeling when they won.
Realizing he gets to bring not one but both kids home this time. Watching Katniss make the same mistake he made. Knowing what happens after.
Been in Rome for like six hours today for a friend's graduation. Three hours by train to get there, but it was worth it 🥰

Fic trope tier list
I was tagged by @saturnskyline, thanks for making me over-analyse my fic reading habits 🤣
What's wild to me is some of the things I placed in 'will only read if it's done well' or 'unlikely to read it' ...are types of fics I WILL write. Maybe this is why I don't really read my own stuff once it's out lol
Tagging @magicaldreamfox1 @petesbubblebutt @louciferish and @silentorator (if you haven't already done this!)

Apparently mermay is a thing, so here you go.
Few sketches in-between work
Your profile picture looks like it either killed someone or wants to do the deed xD
Killed someone…? Like this?
… I think I might have overdone it.
Analyzing San Fransoyko
okay, credit to @razbotz for encouraging me to do this, I was on the fence about this, but I think I might do a full series of posts just dedicated to analyzing San Fransoyko's world-building from the perspective of a former AP Human Geo student who spent a year studying the course and applying it to world-building. The course has little practical use but it's a course I know a lot about (I can proudly say I kept an A in the class despite it being a college course I took at 13-14 when the class had a low passing rate at my school due to the fact we were WAYYYY too young to be taking the course) so now I'm going to infodump about it.
Sooo, if I continue this, then this is part 1/? of idk how many.
Okay, so cultural diffusion, as a concept, cultural diffusion is when traits or aspects of culture (clothing, language, architecture, textile works, art, religion, music, all these things associated with a culture) diffuse or move from its hearth (a hearth being the origin of a cultural trait, agricultural crop, or other things, basically, the birthplace). San Fransokyo is a really good example of the positive effects of cultural diffusion. As the name of the city implies it's a mix of San Francisco California and Tokyo Japan, we see the Golden Gate Bridge altered to use Japanese Shinto temples/shrine designs (insert image lol)
Now.. compare that with the actual golden gate bridge and you can notice the differences in design.
This is an example of multiple types of diffusion (there are 6 main types, Contagious, Expansion, Hierarchical, Stimulus, Relocation, and Maladaptive).
(Note: as not everyone may be familiar with these terms, here's some basic definitions: -Contagious diffusion is well, contagious, think of it like a virus or disease that spreads from person to person through contact, cultural traits can move within a community through word of mouth and with the advent of the internet, through social media posts and other way things can go viral, if something goes viral and spreads a trait, it's likely Contagious diffusion. -Expansion is when a trait stays prominent in its birthplace, like rice, which has had multiple birth places but has spread elsewhere while still remaining prevalent in the parts of Asia where it originated from. -Hierarchical diffusion is when a cultural trait moves up or down a social hierarchy, for example, a lot of fashion pieces move from these high-level designers in France, which is prestigious and known for fashion, and move down the social ladder to everyday people. This can also happen with rich people and monarchs throughout history, or the opposite can happen when lower class/normal people do something, the rich find out and start doing it too and it spreads. -Stimulus diffusion occurs when a trait moves from one place to another but changes, likely due to limitations of the place it moves to. This is especially common in agriculture and cuisine, immigrants move to new places where they may not be able to access the same ingredients from where they immigrated too so their dishes get reinvented or changed. This can also happen with outside influences such as the Texas German dialect which is a German dialect native to Texas among German immigrants where as certain words didn't exist at the time so they borrowed English words while Germans in Germany created new words for these in German that didn't cross over, the prolonged exposure and changes to the culture due to outside forces created a different dialect. -Relocation diffusion is pretty straightforward, it's when people from one culture move to an area with people of a different culture, bringing their culture with them, this is common amongst immigrant populations who bring their culture with them and establish groups of other people with similar cultures, like how China towns exist with people of similar cultures and ethnicities and how they serve to protect and create a space for these people. Due to assimilation throughout history many cases of relocation diffusion result in not much spread of the trait because people assimilate into the culture of the area they're in to fit in. -Our last major definition here, which is maladaptive diffusion. This is not very relevant to the conversation but I thought I'd throw it in. Maladaptive diffusion is when a trait diffuses to an area, but doesn't catch on that much or seem that relevant while not changing that much. A common example is when people are playing soccer/football in snowy climates, the game doesn't make sense for the area but people still do it, it isn't that relevant but it remains unchanged.
The bridge is likely relocation because from what I understand of the wiki, the reason San Fransokyo is named that is due to Japanese immigrants, which if we can use basic reasoning skills (plus the background knowledge that people bring their culture with them when they move) we can likely reason that as Japanese immigrants moved from Japan to at the time San Francisco they brought their culture with them as they relocated.
Shintoism is what we call an 'ethnic religion' in AP human geo (which I have slight discomfort with as the terminology used in the course is often very Eurocentric, but ethnic religions are essentially religions that are primarily practiced by one ethnicity or culture, they don't try to convert people into it on large scales and mostly mind their own business, compared that with Christianity which is a universalizing religion that tries to appeal to a large number of people to gain or convert new members in different groups, ethnic religions like Shintoism are often indigenous religions that have much smaller populations) so Shintoism doesn't spread quickly, but we see it's influenced in the architecture of San Fransokyo meaning it grasped at the city and managed to take hold, moving and relocation with Japanese immigrants.
That's one form of cultural diffusion present, now here's another, expansion diffusion. Going back to Shintoism, this religion, though not super big, is still prevalent and one of, if not the oldest still standing religion in Japan, and due to the architectural influences scene with it in San Fransokyo, armed with the knowledge I previously supplied that expansion diffusion is when a trait defuses but is still prevalent in its place of origin, Shintoism likely expanded from Japan with Japanese immigrants to San Fransokyo and stayed prevalent in both places.
Contagious diffusion is another easy one to show examples for since it connects with the previous themes already. Immigrants move to an area, the traits expand outwardly, moving from person to person in the past now more rapidly with technology, and a larger amount of people pick up the trait.
For the last major one I can say without it being a stretch is likely Stimulus diffusion (I could make an argument from a bottom-to-top hierarchical diffusion since we've seen it happen with immigrant populations who are low on the social hierarchy influencing the top, but I'm honestly too tired as I type this to find examples). This is shown when we see the mixture of Japanese imagery and architecture mixed with more American and Spanish influences (as San Fransokyo is based on the real San Francisco but if there was an influx of Japanese immigrants, and due to the real San Francisco having large Spanish influences in its culture there's likely a mix of Japanese, Spanish, and American influences on the culture of the fictional San Fransokyo.) Stimulus diffusion is when traits are changed due to limitations or interactions with other cultures when a cultural trait is carried to new places, as we can see throughout the movie in the background, the traits are not completely left unchanged, there's American influences in the buildings, in the people, in the languages in the culture, plus the Japanese aspects which both change each other due to prolonged exposure to each other, changing both culture's traits and creating new ones.
I am about to hit character limit, but that's part 1 of my rambles on San Fransokyo and AP Human Geo concepts, I'll post the next instances I see when I'm not sleep-deprived at 2am, love ya'll, thanks to @razbotz for encouraging me to make this.
