Lunarpunk

Lunarpunk is the sister aesthetic to solarpunk, but darker, I was actually surprised to see it has it’s own flag presented below. The basis is people moving to the moon and waiting for the earth to heal while in colonies, there would be tons of difficulties with low gravitational pull, constant unfiltered radiation from the sun, and probably even keeping warm, very compelling in my opinion.

It looks much like the solarpunk flag, but unlike the solarpunk flag, lunarpunk doesn’t have a political movement attached 

Tidalpunk

Tidalpunk is basically humans moving to the sea because the land has been left unhealed for so long, it’s almost uninhabitable, so people are living on or under the sea until the land is able to start healing again/ Expansion in population has led to housing out at or under water that’s Eco-friendly and doesn’t harm wildlife, sadly this one doesn’t have a flag. Luckily it has an aesthetic though.

Sustainable, ocean-based living? Yes please, makes me wish I knew how to swim though. To be perfectly honest I’m out of ideas on this post, so if you have any more ideas, please feel free to re-blog with what sub-genres relating to solarpunk you could find. I’m certain there are niche ones that I haven’t found yet.

As always, this has been @punkofsunshine, see ya’ll soon.

just curious on why you say that the lunarpunk flag has no political movement attached? since any sort of -punk movement is inherently political as an opposition to capitalism, and the above flag has pretty obvious ties to anarchism

Hi@anarcho-bard 

How I’d like to describe lunarpunk is as a narrative device and aesthetic, it’s an offshoot of the solarpunk genre, yes, but it has no movement of its own. Lunarpunk is solarpunk, but with aesthetic and attitude changes. Lunarpunk is more gritty and dark than solarpunk, but shares the same message in the way that we must treat the earth better if we want to live on it and that includes an opposition to capitalism, authoritarianism, etc. However it has no characteristics of a defined political movement as it’s using the solarpunk message solely.

Thank you for your questions.

I got some questions! I didn’t want to interrupt the flow of the episode posts so they’re all here now! Sorry! First, the ones I got multiple versions of:

Will you make another blog to rate Wei Wuxian/Jiang Cheng/Jin Guangyao/Wen Ning etc. and how gremlin/angry/snakey/baby etc. they are? If you don’t, can I do that instead?

A lot of people have asked me if I have plans to Do This To Myself Again and make another rating blog. I don’t have any immediate plans! I definitely need a little break after this surprisingly time-intensive undertaking! Maybe watching the show seven times in a row was, in fact, too many times… (psych i’m gonna watch it again soon nobody can stop me)

if you’d like to do one yourself for another character and another trait/emotion/whatever, have at it! Please do message me about your endeavour if this blog inspired you, I’d love to check it out!

Do you have another blog and can I follow it?

I don’t really post much, but if you’re interested you can follow me on my non-fandom blog here. If I ever decide to do another blog like this one, I’ll post about it there first! 

That’s a great question, and I don’t have a clear answer for you. I think that, for all characters, their impact on his ability to feel peace is pretty variable depending on where he was both in terms of the plot and his relationship to them. I think I might go into this in more detail on my other blog later. But for now, here are the people who affected him the most just generally:

Wei Wuxian, as you noted, undoubtedly increases and decreases his peacefulness the most dramatically. He often bumped Lan Wangji up at least a full point, all other things in the scene being equal. However, he also sent him the lowest he could go. It really depended on how many Evil Vibes Wei Wuxian was putting out and whether he’d murdered anyone they knew recently. Post-return I gave everything an unspoken (but I think we can all agree very necessary) Wei Wuxian Is Alive Bonus of +0.5 points. 

Jiang Cheng always had no impact on him until after the time skip at which time his presence was always a negative, and sometimes quite strongly so, depending on how Menacing he was being to Wei Wuxian at the time. Usually at least a full -1, sometimes -2.

Su She was universally a negative hit to Lan Wangji’s peacefulness post-betrayal, because he sucks so bad lol. At least a -1 at all times after the betrayal.

The Lans didn’t get specific bonuses or decrements. Lan Sizhui almost always improved his peacefulness just generally, particularly as a baby. Lan Wangji is the Softest Dad and it’s too pure, honestly. The rest of the Lan family usually had a pretty minor effect, except for whenever Lan Xichen was aggressively shipping him with Wei Wuxian, and whenever Lan Qiren tried to cultivate the gay away.

I answered this in the tags of a post, but I know that the tags may be missed sometimes, so for anybody who missed the tags: the answer is Rakuten Viki! They allegedly have the best English subtitles, though they do take the rather amusing step of literally translating peoples’ titles (see: Brilliance Overgrowth Lord. It would have taken so much less effort to call him Zewu-jun, but here we are. Here we are living in a Brilliance Overgrowth World).

Thank you, that’s so nice of you! :) It’s just ordinary crayons, so no magic, really. But I do colour in many layers, especially the hair (6 different colors). That adds a lot depth I think. 

gwenniel said: What do you colour with?

With coloured pencils. :D The gold/silver is gel pens, because they glitter so nicely. 

New video. I talk a bit in depth about childhood, my experience with growing up with my mother going blind as a young mother, to young children. I have inserted a trigger warning due to the fact there is one possibly troubling thing I talk about.

Give this video a watch, like and share if you want
