the fact that a cat considers “sit in the same room ignoring each other” to be an acceptable social activity and not an insult is great for me because that’s how i like to socialise
the world as we know it has ended and mother nature starts taking back what’s hers. there are no zombies or cannibals or murderous bandits. the most valued members of the community are those who know how to garden and farm, sew and weave, treat wounds, work wood or build with bricks, cook from scratch.
people bond together to begin rebuilding instead of killing each other. everyone teaches each other whatever they do know and works together to figure out the stuff none of them know. books become incredibly valued resources because they’re often the only way to learn critical information. if someone is elderly, disabled, or otherwise unable to work at the same level as most of the community, they’re taken care of by the others, not told any sort of “survival of the fittest” bs.
as the generations ware on, communities begin expanding into small cities. some of the settlements even find ways to repurpose solar or wind power on a small scale and have electricity in some of their buildings. storytellers wander the countryside telling tales of the old world in return for some hot stew or a place to rest for the night, and the mythos of the new world start to incorporate elements of the past. the only thing that remains constant is that humans survive, and they do it by working together.

This app is called iOrnament, designed by a math professor and incredibly fun to play with! Well worth buying, I make designs with it every day and it has a lot of fascinating options and effects. Here’s his trailer for how to use it. He also made another app called iOCrafter that creates printable patterns you can assemble. Who doesn’t need a stack of Platonic solids to brighten up your space?
The iOrnament App grew out of a sequence of related programs that were developed over the past 30 years. The oldest ancestor of iOrnament is a program “Ornament” that was written by the author and presented at the symmetry exhibition in Darmstadt 1986. The program allowed to draw black and white wallpaper pictures at that time on an Atari computer. Inspired by this similar programs were written that ran in various Mathematics exhibitions among them the exhibition ix-quadrat at TU Munich and the German Museum in Munich. The amazing fact about these kind of programs is that everyone starting from a three year old child to an highly intellectual adult can at the same time be creative, have fun with them and learn something about mathematical structures.
What I definitely don’t mean when I say I like a villain:
“They’re just misunderstood”
I’m defending every single one of their actions and I think they’re 100% innocent
I’m a dumbass who doesn’t know that they’re a villain
also
I am able to sympathize with tragic villains without saying that they are misunderstood, innocent, or don’t realize that they are a villain. I have no idea why tumblr has such a hard time grasping the concept of “seeing people suffer makes me feel bad for them even if they did terrible things” and quite frankly the idea that “only pure and innocent people deserve love and empathy” thing that tumblr has going on scares me.
all of the above and
tbh sometimes the villain is just hot and/or very funny
and my appreciation of hot villains and fictional hijinks does not impair my moral reasoning in a real world context
stop demanding serious and complicated explanations for why i like this goofy fictional character who is obviously ridiculous and exaggerated
