Ninjas don’t wear black. They used to disguise themselves as civilians. Unlike ninjas in movies, the real guys were smart enough to know that wearing a black outfit with a face mask wasn’t the best strategy for blending in. Source

But this leaves out the really neat part! The reason we equate the above image with a ninja comes from Kabuki theatre. Within Kabuki theatre there’s a convention of having Kuroko (stage hands) dress in all black (with a full face covering) and move around among the costumed actors in full view, moving scenery, props and costumes. In a similar way, Bunraku puppeteers dress in all black, and only the lead puppeteer’s face would be uncovered. The audience knew to ignore these people and focus on the actors, and to only see that the scene was “magically” changing. So when a play called for a ninja assassin to jump out of nowhere and kill someone, the easiest way to create the surprise reveal was to disguise the ninja in the all black garb of the Kuroko and to remove the face covering and start acting at the last second. This would shock the audience, who were conditioned to not focus on them. Pretty cool, yeah?

WHAT THE FUCK I THOUGHT “STAGE NINJA” WAS JUST A CUTE THEATER TERM FOR CREW. THERE WERE LITERALLY GOD DAMN STAGE NINJAS

something i've noticed. people seem to think the most nature-y nature is forests. so forests are always prioritized for conservation, and planting trees is synonymous with ecological activism. my state was largely prairies and wetlands before colonization. those ecosystems are important too. trees aren't the end-all be-all of environmentalism. plant native grasses. protect your wetlands.

deserts also!!! it sucks so bad that people think of desert as 'wasteland' just because it's not suited for western european style ag development, they're beautiful and delicate and valuable ecosystems and, i think it's good to point out that humans have been living willingly in them for thousands of years

Yes the fact that Byleth sees Dimitri at his lowest and not only takes his hand and leads him out of the darkness and inspires him to become the king she always saw in him, but loves him in spite of his belief that he is unloveable, is absolutely beautiful and makes me want to weep, but can we also talk about how Dimitri sees this woman, whose own father didn’t really know what to do with her, who has always only been valued—by those she worked for, by those she worked with, by her students, even by her peers—for what she could do with a sword, this woman whose only form of self-worth has come from her identity as a weapon—and he calls her beloved. CAN WE TALK ABOUT THAT

so many ships!

here are those valentines drawing and how they have evolved so far (not a lot as you can see). i ended up sketching a new yurileth, the second places for the non-character-specific polls too (ferdibert, marihilda, netteflix) + claurenz cause that's a scene i've written in one of those fics i wrote for my own enjoyment (not a claurenz fic, more of a claude diary in fódlan or something)

I love how Bruce tells Duke to guard the Cave & Duke goes "Yes, sir. You got it. Not a single goddamm person is getting into this Cave." Like he takes it so seriously that when the GREEN LANTERN shows up, Duke doesn't think "Hm. He probably has a good reason for being here. Maybe I should ask him?"

No.

He DROPKICKS HIS ASS.

NOT HIM GETTING PUT IN FUCKING AIR JAIL
