#but it WILL reduce your chances

[draconicshinx]

I am BEGGING younger drivers. drive carefully. give yourself room. for fuck's sake use your turn signals and don't fucking weave thru traffic. this is not a video game, this is real life and if you get into an accident, you could get killed or kill someone else VERY easily

#my poasts #for tagging purposes #driving carefully won't save you from ever getting into an accident #but it WILL reduce your chances

How was he able to wear the blue shirt underneath the plastron?!👀

Oh his little compression sleeve? Honestly? Think of it less of a shirt and more of a sports bra lmao.... This is also assuming they have a bit of a breathing room gap before their skin actually connects to the plastron, which I like to imagine they have because that would make the turtles arms more free, flexible, and less stiff imo

#asks #2 arms left #he got the thing as a gift from sprout in the bday update! #it feels comfy for him since compression #helps reduce him move the stump around and make it sore/less chance of phantom pain #also sprout just wanted to help him feel good about looking in the mirror again #also sprout was kinda “well I felt better about my stump after I covered it up with a port” #“so maybe if you also cover yours with something thats NOT a port then maybe possibly you can ALSO feel better” #also it just looks good #rottmnt #also another also: yay!!!! a fun ask to answer w/ a drawing!

Look, I know it's supposed to end badly. But I need to admit that in my head, they declared a mutual "fuck this shit" to the world and society. Packed all the stuff they could one late night and escaped to a remote open plain in the middle of some thick woods where they spent the rest of their lives healing and living freely in nature.

I've been having a lot of intense feelings about them as well. The tragical elements are so baked in to their story and setting, it's hard to imagine a happy ending for them. But every now and then I find myself thinking of scenarios and AUs where they both live and grow old together. For coping purposes, I suppose.

#for real though I've had several crying sessions over them during the past couple of weeks I'm not kidding #that's how you know you've perhaps gotten a little too emotionally invested in your characters #two entirely fictional dog men whose fates I have complete control over have reduced me to shambles #the unfortunate truth is that from a storytelling point the whole thing works better as a tragedy #the sadness makes the happy moments more significant and the happy moments feel bittersweet because of the sadness #for all intents and purposes they're classic star-crossed lovers #neither of them have done anything to justify such a wretched end though and I just want good things for them #I think I might have to come up with an alternate ending where Machete has the sense and chance to resign before it's too late #and move to Florence to be closer to Vasco #or maybe they both go back to Venice where they originally met that might be nice #maybe not realistic but it'd be nice #answered #dragonfoxgirl

Just saw a "best mom character" poll that featured Katara and instead of talking about the fact she's an actual mom and her relationship with her children all the propaganda to vote for her mentioned how "she took on a mother role for her older brother and is the mom friend in the Gaang look at how caring and maternal she is!!" I'm going to stab someone

#that isn't a mother that is a fourteen year old girl #avatar fandom stop parentifying a fucking child please and thank you #and again! she is a mom!! she has three children!!! talk about that instead!!!! #anyway she was up against camila noceda so it's not like she stands a chance anyways but you know #this fandom genuinely makes me want to murder people sometimes #and to be clear this isn't an attack against the person running the polls this is just a general complaint #against people who reduce katara to being a 'mother figure' to her friends. when she really isn't #anyway take her name out of your mouth and go read comradekatara's metas #avatar the last airbender #katara

A study published in November in the BMJ found that a single COVID vaccine dose reduced the risk of long COVID by 21 percent, two doses reduced it by 59 percent and three or more doses reduced it by 73 percent. Vaccine effectiveness clearly climbed with each successive dose. “I was surprised that we saw such a clear dose response,” says Fredrik Nyberg, an epidemiologist at the University of Gothenburg in Sweden and one of the co-authors of the study. “The more doses you had in your body before your first infection, the better.”

That lines up with the findings of several new studies, which similarly show this ladderlike benefit. Marra’s October 2023 meta-analysis found that two doses reduced long COVID likelihood by 36.9 percent and three doses reduced it by 68.7 percent.

Watching creator after creator, from professionals to twitch streamers on down, post about how they’re really weirdly sick with cold/flu and medications aren’t helping, and knowing a huge number of them have Covid that they’re gonna keep spreading for weeks after “recovering” because they have no idea they should be testing or masking

#please mention this to your faves if they post something similar if you’re public on Twitter 😭 #including the LONG infectious period and flushing their nose regularly to reduce viral load + chances of long Covid

I 100%’d Side Order 🥳 All weapons, all floors, all hacks, all items, and all tones!

#fun talk tag #splatoon #it was a lot of time getting all the tones maxed out but once you get into a groove it’s addicting #here are some tips: #turn of all chips you get through hacks after maxing them to reduce the pool size #use the right weapon for what color chip you’re going for #(unless it’s one of the chips that are weapon specific and don’t match that weapons preferred colors) #don’t use Risky Rewards - max out the membux you can get and anything that reduces costs #turn off the hack that increases a weapon’s preference if you need to get one corresponding to a weapon outside its 2 colors #and if you want a specific chip you can increase your chances by going for chips of the same TONE #NOT color. TONE. I didn’t realize this for a while but this is REALLY helpful. prioritize getting similar tones together it’s a lot easier #especially if you’re trying to get chips like max dodge roll for dualies. focus on run / swim speed up and they help increase your chances

i want a neopets nostalgia website you can't log into, it just always looks like you're logged in to the original site circa late 2000s and the main purpose of the fansite is just to recreate the feeling of going onto neopets to do your dailies as a kid. you can click around the world map, and take something from the omelet even though you don't have an account and thus an inventory, and you can spin the wheels, and you can go look in the shops even though you cant really buy anything, and you can go play the old flash games because they've been converted somehow, and maybe there's even a fabricated issue of the neopian times you can check. like it's all very simplified and obviously entire sections of the site like the battle dome would be missing, but you can Get That Feeling again just by poking around. no accounts, so no logging in needed and no large server space or cybersecurity required for the host (not that the real neopets ever had the latter), i just want to click on little secrets on the world map and play the hannah trilogy or ice cream factory or caves & corridors again

#i watched the neopets controversies history video like two weeks ago and ive been thinking about neopets ever since #feel like shit just want her back.... #i have literally 0 clue what the site looks like now but i bet its Very Different #and i know a lot of games got lost in the flash conversion #like ive been tempted to make an account just to poke around one more time but 1) i hate making accounts #and 2) they have proven that they cannot handle the pressure of not giving your info out #i want to experience mcdonalds in-the-game era neopets again you feel me #in my perfect vision for this website even the random encounters are scripted into the pages with a boosted chance of occuring #since you're not going to be on the site long and they like. all have static references like its always One Pet In The Code that gets sick #or This Item that gets given or stolen #so it would be a lot simpler and still work with a dummy account page #but it would be there.... like even the money tree would be there just on a static cycle #that would be greatly reduced from how it worked actually lol #also does ANYBODY remember the game with the berries where you tried to get as many of them together as possible i cant remember the name #(also im going to continue gathering replies on that thing for a bit so you get neopets posting instead) #words and things #update: i went to the neopets website and its literally links to their merch and shit #i mean i know theres content there once you log in but wheres MY neopets!!

update on my brother 💃

#tw for medical talk and death and such #there’s bleeding in his brain and they want to do emergency surgery on him but it would require a blood transfusion #and my family’s religion does not permit that so without surgery they’re giving him medication to reduce swelling #and there’s a ten percent chance he does not go brain dead #if he does survive this i’ll be shocked but i suppose we’ll see in the next few days #i’m expected to go see him in the hospital because everyone is there right now #but i would rather die #they’ll never understand if i don’t though so #i’ll probably go tonight just for appearances #and so my mother doesn’t hold it over my head and i don’t have to endure more gossip #and. i mean. to support them. not him. but them. #i don’t know man it feels like a part of me is losing something if i go #like i’m acquiescing #it’s strange to have hope that this nightmare will finally be over #and it’s strange to visit your abuser in the hospital and put on a face for everyone #i dunno. anyways #anyways.txt #delete later

This is "The Doctor", a resident of the nightmare realm, who has been there long enough to have been almost completely corrupted. His face is normally just a pitch black void hole but sometimes you can see eyes and/or teeth in there

He wants to help people, but he's almost completely lost his mind, and can sometimes act a bit... Feral.

Surprisingly, the nightmare realm's usual effect of making people lose every memory of their life before they ended up here, hasn't managed to take away his medical knowledge. He's still very smart, despite everything.

Unfortunately he seems to scare off most people who he would otherwise have helped...

#my art #Ok okkkk so this guy is from the world in my mind I live in parallel to reality #But I wanna make some of the guys from there into ocs too because they're neat #Love this guy. He's kidnapped me several times (LMAO ok there's context but I'd have to write a damn novel to explain that) #Oh and the nightmare realm isn't the world in my mind. Well it's a dimension in a multiverse I travel in there #But uhhhhh I spend basically all my time in the nightmare realm now bcause I like the vibes #But before that... I just spent time with various video game characters #Asriel from undertale became a scientist that created dimensional portals. And we kinda found the nightmare realm on accident #We don't talk much anymore but y'know. Every once in a while I'll visit #Last time though he had been forced into working for an evil agency that was trying to harness my demi-god like powers #Because in the universe in my mind I'm a shape-shifting horror that cannot truly die (I respawn) #I actually nerfed my own powers in-universe because I hadn't been to responsible with them in the past #Well I gave the ability to regulate my powers to a sort of evil-ish counterpart of myself (void) #And then we made a deal to cut eachother's power down to a reasonable level #And now neither of us can re-acquire that dangerous level of power #Uhhh. Isn't that kinda how the things in harry potter work? A vessel with a chunk of your power in it? Idk #Anywayy_yyyys #Void decided to do some trickster shit and tried to absorb me for my power and become a god recently. #So I was like ''ok no more chances bitch'' and finally reduced her to a basically mortal form and banished her #To some random dimension I probably won't ever go to. #(She's been a problem for yeeeeaaaarrrrsss but we were occasionally chill so I didn't wanna do it but y'know.) #We even kinda accidentally had a magic-baby??? Sorta? There's no better way to explain that one but yeah idk where that chick ran off to #Y'know I refer to void as she mostly but she's kinda just whatever she wants to be in the moment. Fucking chaos incarcerate #Her original job was absorbing forgotten ideas. Characters or concepts or entire worlds fogotten by my mind #Woukd become part of her #UUhhhhhhhhhhhhhm. #Oh and void was in charge of the evil organization that wanted to harness my power. #She had possessed the leader of some government scientist lab thing. #And. Well. Yeah. #Congrats to anyone who reads all this and I'm sorry for the brief glimpse into complete derangement

for every newly published romance book i read i have to read 5 pschotic female rage books

#ik that reducing the reaction of women to atrocites they face to just unhinged female characters is bad blah blah #but what is going on in the romance genre these days #i have to stop at every page and thing about what amy dunne would do to calm myself #like these male leads are worse than nick dunne and he got his life ruined for what he did #like girls are yall fine #this is your standards #colleen hoover will not see heaven #she is like a female john green to me #i have given her books chance several times but she continues to dissapoint #except this will be disgrace to john green cause atleast he had some original ideas #also ‘let people read what they wanna read’ sure but i am a hater to my core #people on tiktok have ruined reading #the book market is oversaturated with just plain boring and disgusting romance novels #its genuinely annoying #and like i used to like romance but wth is this

[fictional-men-enthusiast]

I think Jay and Cheryl would have that “we’re both absolutely horrendous people but we care for each other in own albeit sweet yet still obviously not normal way and if you hurt either of us, the other one will butcher you” swag if they were ever together.

#awful hospital #heacanon #text post #they’ll say shit like “I’d cut you open and eat your heart” in a way that’s like not a threat but weirdly romantic #they also think the other one murdering someone or beating the ever-loving shit out of them is the hottest thing ever #seeing each other covered in another person’s blood drives them CRAZY #making other people suffer mental anguish is another huge thing for them #like if one of them can reduce another person to tears with just their words #the other one will go gaga over it #they hate everyone else but can’t get enough of each other #but they also like #check up on each other after a big battle and patch up each other’s wounds #hold hands whenever they have a chance #have pet names that would seem like insults to anyone else but are terms of endearment to them #cuddle/spoon when they sleep #make plans for their lives together when they return to the Grey Zone #address obstacles together and work together to plan how to deal with them #have dinner together every night #make each other laugh constantly even if it’s about morbid shit #support each other’s decisions but are able to let the other person know when they’ve crossed a line and are the only people the other #one respects enough to actually listen and not keep going

all the more reason they can’t fuck up casting movie!shadow

the day movie shadows voice actor gets announced will either be the best day of my life or the worst day of my life no in between if they mess up with shadows voice i will never recover

#my dream movie shadow casting is for them to get david humphrey to come back hes my favorite shadow va ever #but thats sooo unlikely and im really scared theyre gonna get some random celebrity who doesnt fit shadow at all </3 #people keep saying keanu reeves but Eughh im not really a fan of that casting choice #feels like people are just reducing shadow to an edgelord type character and only saying keanu should voice him #because hes played those types of characters before. which i dont like #and ive also heard a couple clips of his voice and dont think it really fits very well #but if it does end up being him i guess id be willing to give him a chance.. and i can think of worse picks ive seen for shadow. so #sonic movie spoilers #sonic 2 spoilers #asks #IDK WHAT IM SO SCARED FOR theyve done really well with the casting in the sonic movies so far... #but im just soo picky about how shadow should sound and i have like a mental list of people i desperately do not want to be cast as him #some of them are thankfully not likely at all but i still see people suggest them all the time #and im like. Shut up you guys cant be saying that shit when the sonic movie team actually listens to the fans #youre gonna ruin this for all of us and by all of us i mean me

POV: you’re staring at the person who made the saddest, most depressing movie you’ve ever seen, into a meme

#this is about joker (2019) btw #like sorry you didn’t have the mental capacity to understand it but like….. you don’t have to understand the underlying themes and metaphors #to understand that this was a sad movie #ain’t no way bitches looked at this movie and said ‘yeah this shit hilarious haha’ how ignorant you gotta be to think that #joker 2019 #‘the world does not shrink to your size just because you lack the depth to understand it’ said wonderfully by jaboukie on twitter #like I fucking hate everyone who participated in the meme bc like…… idk I think it’s disrespectful to all the wonderful people who worked on #it #also bc it’s fucking annoying and I loved the movie and it’s reduced to what? a fucking meme? #you look at a man who struggles all throughout the movie. who obviously needs mental help yet is denied by everyone who has the power #TO HELP HIM!!!!! don’t tell me this doesn’t remind you of something? #and NO!! you’re NOT just like him! #and yes you can relate to him but it’s the fucking incels on Reddit who sit on their ass all day and argue with random people #on the internet who say it. #it’s the bitches who victimize theirselves when they have no right to do so that say ‘he just like me’ #he’s been made into this fucking caricature by people who lack the ability to analyze and understand media #I know for a fucking FACT that those people said ‘why do wr even need English class lol we SPEAK english 😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣’ ain’t no way…. #people who have been pushed and prodded and abused by the system #who have suffered and not given a chance to fight back #THEY’RE the ones who at allowed to say ‘he just like me’ #NOT the people who have no idea what that’s like!!!!!!! #sorry I’m passionate #lol #rant post #rant
