Fandoms and things

@fanatic564 / fanatic564.tumblr.com

Im a big fan-person, what more can i say? I post random things related to my current fandoms: I literally have no consistency. Current obsessions: danny phantom and DC I have a few sideblogs for longerlasting hyperfixations if yall wanna check those out (though they are less active overall) Come talk to me if yall want.

Intro

(I’m gonna remake my pinned post because I can’t find the old one, and I no longer need help with my thesis so I can unpin that post)

Hello! I’m Fanatic! I’m a big fan-person with ADHD, so I tend to hyper-fixate and binge reblog things randomly. I’m a bit anxious, so it’s hard for me to reach out first to others on Tumblr, but if you ever want to reach out to me and talk about currently hyper-fixations, or even previous ones, I’m totally open, through either asks or DMs! I’d really love to make more online friends! (I am an adult however, so if that makes you uncomfortable, don’t feel pressured to talk to me!)

I have 3 sideblogs for previous or current hyper-fixations: @sideoffiction (sanders sides- not active), @treshorny-cryptids (D&D and D&D podcasts- not super active), and @cobblestoneore (minecraft and mcyt (mostly hermitcraft)- most active outside of my main blog).

My current hyperfication(s) is: Danny Phantom and DC

Like I said, feel  free to talk to me, and I hope you’re having a great morning/afternoon/evening/night.

Had a dream last night that i was a knight and this bigger scarier knight had me on the ground and right before he swung his sword at my neck he said smth like "i mourn the loss of life for the tree who will become your coffin" which shouldnt of turned me on like it did but alas

nothing funnier to me than when AI does math wrong. like I get why it happens, it's a language model that's treating the numbers you feed it as words rather than integers and then giving you an answer based on how those words typically appear in a block of text instead of actually performing a calculation. but the one thing computers are genuinely incredible at. you fucked up a perfectly good calculator is what you did, look at it it's got hallucinations

The calculator is having hallucinations.

hey everyone its april fools. but dont worry i dont have anything planned. just going to sit here and...

I LIED !!!! GET PRANKED

POST BELOW ME GET FUCKING WET

I like when people like a character so way too much that it transcends even self shipping or kinning and becomes more of a patron saint that you pray to type of deal

"patron saint" stop using catholic figures in a blasphemous way! it's disrespectful to catholics.

youve made me very happy by saying this

you...enjoy being disrespectful to catholics?

fuck i can’t believe i wasted my entire life being moved by art and beauty and the indomitable human spirit ugh i should’ve been making money through internet scams

“Hozier is a lesbian” “Hozier is a man written by a woman” “Hozier is like if a man was raised by lesbian mothers” “Hozier is like if a man was a woman” quick give me one reason why a man can’t be soft and gentle and poetic and in love without sounding like a terf or a misogynist

I suddenly understand why jewelry is expensive

Hopefully people will start to realize why trades in general are so expensive. You're paying for someone's experience to make a good finished product that takes skill and years of practice.

However there is also a giant gap that needs to be filled in trades. As people are aging out of jobs like tailors, carpenters, bookbinders, leatherworkers, etc, there aren't enough young people going INTO the trades to repopulate the jobs.

Please. Please. Consider going into trades.

These are the kinds of jobs people "fall into," because they aren't visible, and are never talked about.

Kids never grow up telling people they want to be a bookbinder. They don't know they even exist. And schools never ever present them as valid options. And if they do talk about them, they are treated as invalid compaired to NFL Linebacker, President, and Brain Surgeon. After all "jewelry maker" is something people do to supplement their "burger flipping" income, and not an extension of blacksmithing.

But that's the crux of it, isn't it? Crafting and trade skills are an extension of artistic skills, which are often seen as completely invalid, and a total waist of time.

As the daughter of a professional bookbinder/book restorer, I had to reblog.

reblogging because I was in a course at college that covered Artisan skills such as these. I have friends who have since gone on to do Jewellery, Carpentry, Ceramics, Glasswork AND Blacksmithing. Ironically I ‘fell into’ comics. 

windows to Artisan jobs are still around, the rising interest of upcycling and restoration has brought young folk into doing them.

Boosting because Artisan trades should be valued and carried on.
