Hi, I'm Ana. I'm an art student from England. I like to post BTS (especially JIn), my art and social justice stuff. If you want to request art, shoot me an ask and I'll do my best. Links to my art, selfies and personal posts are in my navigation. If you wanna chat or be friends, hmu. I will use outdated slang and excessive memes, so be warned homies.
If you need me to tag any specific trigger or squick, lmk and I'll get right on it. I don't have a super specific or super consistent tagging system but I do my best and all fandoms and nsfw are tagged.
If I follow you or we're mutuals for a tv show (specifically POI, BTVS, SPN or B99) you probably want to check out my side-blog thatonelosechestersgal. If I follow you or we're mutuals for and games you probably wanna check out my sideblog theana-banana. If it's for Kpop, aesthetic or we're just old friends, this is the right blog.
My mental health issues are depression, anxiety, PTSD, ADHD, bulimia and agoraphobia, and I will post stuff about these every so often. If any of these posts are upsetting please tell me and I will delete or re-tag them. I want my blog to be a safe space.
If you're one of my ex's friends here to harass me, fuck off.
Sorry to break it to you but you literally have to face your fears and slaughter them. Otherwise you will live a small life that you do not want. You literally have to view your biggest fears and attack them head on. You have to fall into the abyss to find your way out. The easy path does not exist. There is no get out of jail free card. You have to allow yourself to die a spiritual death over and over again in order to reinvent yourself into the person you are actually supposed to be. And you have to be painfully honest with yourself and the people around you. It’s horrible but it’s truly the only way.
I KNOW that playing God is morally wrong, but holy HELL, it looks fun.
Why is it playing God? We aren’t violating any natural laws. God set the parameters of the universe to allow these things. There’s nothing wrong with it, there’s no hubris in learning more about how to manipulate the universe around us.
We made a whole-ass fish.
The reason this was accidental BTW is because they used paddlefish eggs as a negative control group for a breeding experiment on sturgeons because the scientists, quite naturally, assumed that they were SO unrelated it would be genetically impossible for them to mate. Like. I cannot stress enough to you how these creatures last related ancestors were
140 MILLION YEARS BACK.
If you don’t know how far that is, that’s basically the start of the cretaceous. Let me simplify that for you even further. Chimpanzees and humans seperated, what, 5 or 6 million years ago?
This is basically like if humans could hybridise with THESE THINGS.
This is the sort of thing that should be impossible. They used those eggs to be ABSOLUTELY 100% SURE NOTHING WOULD HAPPEN.
And then THEY GOT FISH OUT OF IT.
Like. You can quite clearly understand why they didn’t think anything would happen. WE ARE MORE RELATED TO BLUE WHALES THAN THESE THINGS.
THE AMERICAN PADDLEFISH AND THE STURGEON ARE SO COMPLETELY UNRELATED THAT THIS IS NOT PLAYING GOD. IF ANYTHING THIS IS AN ACT OF GOD.
THE SCIENTISTS HAD NO BLAME IN THIS BECAUSE NOTHING LIKE THIS HAD EVER HAPPENED BEFORE
It sort of goes against the rules of genetics a bit.
Oh i forgot to add
THESE THINGS, FOR HYBRIDS, HAD A REALLY HIGH SURVIVAL RATING. LIKE 70% OF THEM SURVIVED.
To put that into perspective, getting a blue whale and a squirrel and trying to hybridise them is more sensible, and that wouldn’t produce anything but getting you banned from science. Most animals that aren’t plants can barely hybridise two degrees away from each other.
BUT THESE TWO ENTIRELY UNRELATED FISH create PERFECTLY HEALTHY HYBRIDS.
the scientists literally had to do the tests AGAIN just to be like “okay this is real right. This is actually like, not a fluke, this works right” and it worked again. They just Can!
So for those who don’t know what the original fishes look like, this is an American Paddlefish:
And this is a Russian Sturgeon:
So honestly, saying the hybrid is “weird looking” is a bit fort de café when you see its parents. I think the sturddlefish looks cute.
“these creatures last related ancestors were 140 million years back”
(glances at fish)
Yeah that’s exactly what I thought you’d look like, you Mesozoic fuck

My child, who spends their entire life being transfered from home to car to school and back, and is not allowed to leave the house or talk to anyone and can only in their wildest dreams imagine a life free from constant surveillance, is very sad. Obviously they’re dumb and lazy, like all kids these days.
kind of a tangent but i recently went to a bowling alley with my friend i’m 19 he’s 18 and the woman at the door didn’t want to let us in because there was a sign saying under-18s needed adult supervision. everything got cleared up and we were able to go bowl, but i’m still so mad about the fact that kids need adult supervision to go to a bowling alley and arcade. like okay maybe young kids should have supervision but what do you mean middle and high schoolers need to hold mommy’s hand while they play video games. kids aren’t just addicted to their phones because phones are addicting, we’re addicted to our phones because there’s nothing else to fucking do
I’m sure banning kids from online spaces while simultaneously not ensuring that they have access to offline spaces to socialize in (without having to rely on their parents who already don’t have time for them) will help them feel better & less alienated from society.
Hate it when TikTok farm cosplayers and cottagecore types say stuff like “I’m not going to use modern equipment because my grandmothers could make do without it.” Ma'am, your great grandma had eleven children. She would have killed for a slow cooker and a stick blender.
I’ve noticed a sort of implicit belief that people used to do things the hard way in the past because they were tougher or something. In reality, labor-saving devices have historically been adopted by the populace as soon as they were economically feasible. No one stood in front of a smoky fire or a boiling pot of lye soap for hours because they were virtuous, they did it because it was the only way to survive.
Taking these screenshots from Facebook because they make you log in and won’t let you copy and paste:
maybe i live in a bubble but like how are you in 2025 shamelessly admitting to shopping on shein. are you fucking for real. Are you not horrifically embarrassed?
no one cares??? my rich friend even shops at shein they have cute stuff
I care and I WILL make fun of you publicly for giving your money to a company that is so horrifically unethical to its employees that produces garments that are essentially single use plastic bags that are actively choking out our planet. but no, sorry. they have cute stuff. and i need my microtrend of the week cute stuff right noww for five dollars and i refuse to go acquire a personality or a moral compass elsewhere.
They have cute stuff because they steal from actual ethical brands I am convinced the average internet user has legitimately rotted their own brain through hyperconsumption
all of this relies so heavily on drug trafficking as a like. valid concern. you’re manufacturing consent for the invasion of a country so you can steal their oil, the whole thing is under the guise of “stopping the drug trade” but like. i actually think it’s fine. legalize the drugs. this pretense goes away if we stop pretending drugs are some uniquely evil corrupting force and establish safe use sites. i will not be having a knee jerk reaction where i get all horrified at drugs entering the country thank you very much. legalize “hard” drugs. establish strong infrastructure for addiction care. decriminalize use and possession. vacate all past convictions.
liberal media is like “okay but what if the venezuelan govt WAS allowing drugs to be trafficked” okay and?
This is the thing that gets me for sure. The war on drugs is a tool of imperialism.
Drugs are good! It is literally just their criminalization that causes the problems associated with drugs and the drug trade.
In The End of Policing Alex Vitale discussed the history of drug policy in America and points out not only how big business is currently the biggest driver of predatory markets based on opioid addiction, but also how time and time again drugs have only been considered bad in America due to racial connotations. Cocaine was legal and in fact given to chattel slaves on plantations to make them work harder and faster, and only became illegal when freed slaves were using it recreationally. Opium was acceptable as long as opium dens were the domain primarily of Chinese immigrants, but when white women started going to them a moral panic started that led to the criminalization of the drug.
States use drug policy as a technology of control and international imperialist projects and organs of those projects like the UN use it to control the imperial periphery altogether. The war on drugs was always a completely gibberish crusade both in the concept as sold to westerners - that they were going to somehow slow or stop the drug trade - and because the entire purpose of it has been control over populations and poorer nations since day 1. This is why if you’re anti drug in 2026 you are getting a free unending supply of Fell For It Again Awards sent to your house in the mail.
Of course it’s all a bit moot because Trump is a fascist and he doesn’t even really care about manufacturing consent for the stuff he does any more
This is a reminder that any insane extreme position can be couched in progressive sounding language to try and persuade you of its validity, even positions that are totally contrary
