#only you can know who you are

[frameacloud]

“Are you were? I don’t expect an answer to that. I really don’t care. That’s the question you must ask yourself, and that only you can answer. No one else can tell you what you are; they can only tell you what they think you are, and they can be wrong more often than right. This doesn’t mean you should discount their advice, only that you must consider it along with all the things that make you you. I can’t tell you who you are, or whether or not you’re a were. I can’t even define the concept for someone else, as my concept of ‘wereness’ is is based on my own experiences, feelings, and inner dialogues.”

- Excerpt from “InstaWeres” by Katmandu. No date, circa 2001. You can read the full article here. (Or read it in French here.)

(Some community history context: In the 1990s, therianthropes often called themselves “weres,” from “werewolves.” In December 1994, Katmandu was one of several weres who first supported our community taking up the word “therianthrope” for ourselves, which you can read about in @liongoatsnake’s A Timeline of the Therianthrope Community.)

Knowledge Revenge.

#dungeon meshi #chilchuk tims #senshi #Somewhat of an unofficial sequel to the Dragon Comic. I promise I have more versatility in my jokes. I just had to take this opportunity. #Senshi is pretty much a recluse. I think he would know a few of these 'gottems' but not all. #Chilchuck would know gottems that are nearly lost to time. The deep cuts. The ones that you fall for because they are that obscure. #I would also like to take a moment to confess that after the last comic in which I posed a gottem - #I fell victim to a Mind Goblin Attack. I was thoroughly got. I will be on higher alert this time. #So NOBODY be funny in the tags. I am gullible and I like to share things with my friends. Who are *ruthless*. #I have a mild resistance to Vicious Mockery at this point but I can only take so much. #Happy Thistle Thursday Everyone! See you next week!

I don't know who needs to hear this, but as a creator -

I am fine with "the audience" -

downloading my fics

printing my fics

copy/pasting or screenshotting my fics

sharing your saved copy of my fics with anyone else who might want them in the unlikely but never impossible case that my fics are no longer available on ao3

making a book of my fic(s) and running your fingers across the pages while lovingly whispering my precioussss

doing these things with anything I create for fandom, such as meta, headcanons, au nonsense like 'texts from the brodinsons,' etc

I am not fine with "the audience"

doing any of the above with the purpose/intent of plagiarizing my work or passing it off as their own in any capacity

feeding my work into ai for any reason whatsoever

Save the fandom things. Preserve the fandom things. Respect the fandom things.

Enjoy the fandom things.

#fanfic #ao3 #archive of our own #fandom things #tumblr things #i may have said this at some point #i'm sure i have #but whatever - just in case #i don't say this with the presumption that i'm so amazing and people are clamoring to save my fics #but just if anyone is so inclined that's all #ftr i don't intend on ever removing my fics from ao3 or deleting fandom things from this blog #i've always shared my fandom things with the intent of keeping them shared bc that's the whole point of posting #but the fandom atmosphere and ao3 constantly being under attack who knows what can happen #not that this applies to anyone but should all else fail you can also reach out to me and i will personally give you a copy #at least of fics bc i save everything #not so much the tumblr things but this is a good reminder to myself that i should do that for the things i care about #that i've made or done and only posted here #anyway sorry i have now used up my quota of the putting words into sentences doing for today #i have plans to stare into the void now

GUESS WHO IS COMING TO DINNER?

Going to see the movie later today motivated me to clean up some sketches. Poor Mario…he is really trying to be a good brother here.

Like my art? Please consider tipping!

Important bonus:

#bowuigi #bowser #luigi #mario #smb #super mario bros #bowser junior #koopalings #my art #comic #like you know bowser only put on his loud outfit and brought the kiddos to passively annoy mario even more #like what would be more annoying…being a dick or actually turning out to be a good boyfriend #there is no winning…and mario is but a steamed roma tomato #also dont ask me how bowser puts on a suit…its canon he can and does when he feels like it!!! #he is a turt who accessorizes……

The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) is planning on changing their regulations for telehealth prescriptions of controlled substances. However, they have opened comments up for people to voice their opinions. You can submit a formal anonymous comment HERE. The comment period ends on March 31st, 2023.

This is an important issue for those who are prescribed controlled substances (e.g., testosterone or ADHD medication) through telehealth, which means it can and will impact trans people on testosterone and a ton of others if this goes through.

#trans #transgender #lgbt #lgbtq #ftm #nonbinary #this will affect other people like those with ADHD who are prescribed medication which is also a controlled substance #it astounds me that professionals aren't trusted by the DEA to be able to do their jobs #you all already know i hate the DEA so i'm biased personally #you can also browse comments left by many people #i've been perusing some comments and they are *not* happy ones. i guess i'm glad i'm not the only disgruntled USian #again - mfw the dea isn't a plotpoint of brba and it actually affects my life negatively 😔🤕🤬

[finitevariety]

RTD has his faults but to create something explicitly and vehemently pro-trans rights is genuinely fucking vital right now

#doctor who #i know it’s just a kids’ show etc #but the UK is so diseased right now that this is not only rare but genuinely important #super corny but what can you do? #kids’ show after all

i think it would be funny if people occasionally arose from the dead. like if that was a real-life one-in-a-million but well-documented Thing That Sometimes Happens, and the entire legal system around death (laws on inheritance & marriage & murder etc) had to include caveats for the unlikely-but-scientifically-possible event that the dead person in question might spontaneously self-resurrect, even years or decades after death. it would raise so many inconvenient and absurd possibilities

#imagine the legal system in that timeline #property laws and inheritance laws and bigamy laws--what happens if your spouse resurrects 10 years after they die? #think how AWKWARD that would be #what happens if you inherit from someone who comes back do you have to give the inheritance back? what if u used it to buy stuff? #does the jetski u bought with the money your grandpa left u 15 years ago in college now belong to grandpa? #or is there a statute of limitations? #if the guy you got convicted of murdering returns from the dead does your conviction get changed from murder to grievous harm? #how is the grievousness of the harm measured? in the number of years the guy spent as a corpse? #what if you spend 20 years in prison and the victim comes back to life and it turns out grievous harm would have landed you only 5ish years #do you get reimbursed for the extra 15 years u spent in prison? #what is the legal process for proving you have come back to life? #what are the minimum legal requirements for establishing a revenant's identity? #does it become regulation to make fingerprint/dental records of every single person who dies just on the off chance one of them comes back? #what happens if it's someone from like 300 years ago? #the world has changed and everyone they know is dead. is there a social services department that can help with that? #there would be a whole branch of counseling services for people who have reanimated or had a loved one reanimate #grief 2.0 counselors

Gonna finish Gideon one soon, but for now you can have this Harrow

Total time: 10 very hot hours

Someone give this image context because I sure as hell won't.

#linked universe #lu four #lu legend #lu hyrule #lu wild #lu wind #my art #lu blue #technically? #you can tell by Four's eyes #I spent way to much time on this and changed the background 3 separate times #Four is never getting his headband back :) #Why does Hyrule have a fish? Why is Legend flipping off Wild? Why is Wind obsessed with Four's headband? Who knows! #I have as much idea what is going on here as you do. #Only context I can give is Legend climbed on that ice cube willingly

Someone asked me to put Wing in my Snow bots au so there we go>:D I unmurdered him for you haha

#transformers #maccadam #snow bots au #Wing #tf wing #idw wing #drift #tf drift #idw drift #ratchet #idw ratchet #dratchet #Wing being proud sensei #Drift regretting some of his life choices #but only some #okay funny story for those two of you who actually reads my tags #I started thinking of Wings design and planning some sketches about him right #and for some reason my brain started drifting (ba dum tss) in the direction of uhhhhh some kind of wise classic sensei figure? #For a couple of minutes I was like #yeah he should probably be that calm and wise man #You know. A strict and disciplined teacher who never loses his cool and always has some valuable advice for any situation #And then I checked the canon #And quickly remembered how fucking crazy and chaotic Wing is ahaha #He wasn’t even asked to teach Drift he straight up just picked him off the ground like a stray cat #and then brought him home and like..mom can we keep him…and didn’t wait for an answer
