Freakfied Brandon, Freakified Britney, and Doctor Heck (already enough of a freak as-is) ((a lore update to my Britney post)) (((because every sim I make somehow ends up with lore even though I don't plan to give them any))) for @puppycheesecake's Freakification challenges

Doctor Heck is a young and totally uncertified genius with a knack for both mad science and the occult. They're responsible for stitching up and resurrecting dear Britney, and their next experiment involved trying to use a human body as a channel to communicate with demonic, incomprehensible, multidimensional beings from beyond our plane of existence. The human body? Brandon. The experiment? Successful! Kinda. The problem is that the incomprehensible horrors uh... sorta made it through the channel and into the human realm, and don't wanna leave now. Brandon is now a part-demon hedonist nightmare, and Doc is keeping him around in order to use him as a conduit to trap other demons and send them back to their own plane. Britney is helping with all of this, even though she would rather be doing Literally Anything Else.

(DISCLAIMER: Doctor Heck is not actually a doctor. They had their first name changed to "Doctor", which should definitely be illegal, but apparently isn't.)

How intimidated do you think trans women on this site feel to even speak up about their being banned at all anymore after what the CEO did to predstrogen and the ways that staff has continued to allow administrative punishment of random trans women, who rightfully email staff asking why they got murked, who in response get an email typed by an actual human person waving their hand around going, ohh don't you recall? You were weird and sexually strange once. I know you know what you did. You've read our TOS. You know we have rules against being sexually strange. You are so naturally implicated in your own execution that we won't waste our breath even explaining why this happened to you. Don't worry, this wasn't random- this was premeditated by a real human person and we've all reached a rational conclusion together, us here at staff and what could have just been one spiteful person or an army of TERF Pinkertons, and we find your assuming of the latter to be quite disrespectful. Think of all the kind, compassionate people on staff who're wishing really really hard that this kind of stuff stops happening. Think about how sad they must be that you're saying all this mean stuff about them. They're just following orders!

#i think tumblr should get sued for discrimination again since it seems like they didn't learn their lesson from the first lawsuit

What I like about New Vegas is that out of all the Fallout games, it feels like it's the most aware of the fact that everyone is doing a bit of some kind from the fifties and is much more attentive and thoughtful than some of the other games to the implications of the fact that everyone is doing some kind of bit from the fifties.

The Kings are a salient example of this. The surface level gag, of course, is that they're a militant gang of Elvis impersonators, having adopted the aesthetic after their leader mistook a training facility for Elvis impersonators as some kind of religious site. Stock Future-imperfect stuff, oh-those-silly-wastelanders, elevating our pop-culture to the level of organizing-societal-principle.

Until, of course, you take into account the (singular) King's actual project- the fact that his gang is the defacto governing body of Freeside, the accompanying fact that he's got his anarchist predilections and thus would like to maintain that governing position without having to constantly kick people around to get them to listen. And here you've come across a guy from before the war who was apparently so incredibly charismatic that people came from all over the country to see him, so charismatic that they built an entire school to train people how to imitate his mannerisms. No shit they're gonna check if there's any gas left in that can! There might be some real practical power on the table if they can walk that walk! Even if the quick-and-dirty pitch for the gang is "Elvis Cult," there isn't really a spiritual component, they aren't morons who're mistaking this guy for a literal god, they just recognize that there might be some unreclaimed social capital here for them to tap into. And there absolutely is, in-universe and out- have you ever encountered a Fallout fan who didn't love The Kings?

Compare this, by the way, with the Three Families, who aren't in a situation where they're scrambling for a symbol they can rally populist support around. These guys are on top of the world. They aren't doing a bit because they're pursuing the social power that bit would provide them- there ultimately is some, but that's not why they started doing it and it isn't strictly something that they needed to do, given their combined force of arms. They're doing their respective bits because the guy with the robot army told them to. They're theme-park employees, working to brute-force back into existence the halcyon youth of a guy who can't even go outside to enjoy it.

Help save my teeth and be able to eat pain-free

I need your help, people. You might remember that I am in need of several crowns on my teeth and in one case the pain has become so bad that I can't sleep and it's starting to affect my hearing and sight (isn't the human nervous system amazing?)

Long story short: I talked to my dentist and insurance again, and I need to pay 850 euro out of my own pocket (insurance is covering most of it, though) We do have about 150 already.

Please help.

Sorry ;_;

150/850

Also: Please don't send 'helpful' advice. I have looked into literally all other options.

Right, considering the current state of corporate politics on this site, and that it seems that only those affected seem to be actively speaking on the matter, it is up to I, the only fucking cishet on tumblr, to drag this out to a wider audience.

REBLOG IF YOUR ACCOUNT IS A TRANSFEM SAFE SPACE.

We need to show these higher ups how much we truly value them.

A mob of Zionists corner and beat Palestinian journalist Saif Al Qawasmi in the Arab quarter of Jerusalem (June 5, 2024). These pictures are worth a million words on their own, but do consider that this was in East Jerusalem, where the same Zionist mob chanted "death to Arabs" as they paraded through the area on the same day. Saif was also arrested by the Israeli police soon after he was assaulted, his equipment confiscated. Is the state protecting and coddling its unhinged far right citizen mobs? Of course, after all they share the same genocidal values.

#zionists are so fuckin unhinged holy shit

Duke Riley, scrimshaw cassette tapes (2023-2024)

to be shown for the first time in an upcoming exhibition at Praise Shadows Art Gallery in Brookline, MA (23 May - 30 June 2024): The Repatriation of King Skellig Mór

23 March 2023:

Been doing some spring cleaning around the studio and came across my old stash of cassette tapes 80s and 90s. I can’t play them anymore so I decided I’m going to scrimshaw them all.

Ultimately non-paid cc creators tend to create better items since they aren't stressed with a monthly patreon deadline. People who used to make really interesting things have started releasing the most boring shit alive that has already been done a billion times. Like oh wow you made a demure cotton blend essentials set for your paying fans? Babe. It's nearly 2024. I have 700 pairs of sneakers at home and you being addidas won't make me buy another.

no but let's talk shit.

Nearly every cc post I pass by nowadays has some type of EA connected to it. And it's always the same three types of hair that I've seen done a million and one times or a set or collab that looks exactly like a pack that EA themselves released. It's lazy and derivative.

But these are also the creators that get thousands of notes on a post and hundreds of subscribers on patreon so I guess I'm just a hater and they are doing something right
