Columbia is unhousing students of color after suspending them:

tragic: compressed air has not fixed my mouse's newly jittering scroll wheel, AND i changed the batteries recently enough that i don't think low battery is the problem (but long enough ago that i don't think that the new batteries are the problem either)

#its a bluetooth mouse too so the suggestions i was seeing to unplug it aren't gonna work either #AND there's no clear way to open it up. i probably just have to get a new mouse. #not getting a microsoft mouse again... idk if they're designed to break easily but they're definitely designed to be unrepairable #i didn't technically buy this mouse but like. now i know for the future #i need a text post tag

If you guys were on here at 11 years old what would you be posting about

#this blog would have been 20% neopets; 10% disney/pixar's Cars #60% obsessing over calico critters/sylvanian families #10% drawings of blobby anime creatures #reblogs

heyyy that second one is probably the 'best' g1 hatch i've ever had. too bad they're both male though- these actually would have paired together well, (and i think the female pose is cuter) ah well!

#flight rising #i like that pearguy hatched with light eyes too... #upside to not being that invested in fr: easy to roll with whatever #if anyone has a girl they'd be interested in swapping for my honeydew/yellow/goldenrod guy. let me know; i might be down

🎒🪤🌳🪨 I'm putting gladys through an Ordeal

🎒 If your OC had to pick three things of all their belongings to keep, which would they chose?

🪤 What is one thing that could be used to lure your OC into a trap?

Gladys would willingly enter a trap if she thought she'd be able to puzzle or bargain her way back out again- she enjoys a good challenge. Her high confidence might be her downfall in this scenario.

🌳 Would your OC survive for a week on their own in the wilderness?

Contrary to her beliefs, she is not actually ready for wilderness survival

🪨 Someone gifts your OC a shiny rock. What do they do with it?

its okay, paperweight the rock missed the garbage can and rolled away into Grave Danger, from which he returned 8 hours later with his doctorate

#neopets #asks #long post #gladys #THANK YOU for the questions for gladys fever #i had a lot of fun with these

ohhhh my god. tumblr logged me out, so i logged back in and was like. why the fuck is my tumblr all messed up. why is it defaulting to showing me a ton of posts from people i don't follow. why does it say i'm following someone i unfollowed years ago. what the fuck

well, its because i wasn't paying attention while logging back in and accidentally logged into my ancient neoblog i regained access to last year. OOPS! well glad that momentary and bizarre crisis is over

#i need a text post tag #regaining access to that blog was actually kind of a mistake because it meant it was public again; and its from when i was in high school #and i posted there a lot right after having a big emotional falling out with my best friend at the time #so i had to go through and private like. 70% of the posts i'd ever made on it

Blumaroo

#neopets #reblogs #really like this take #i've been vexed by the canon transparent blumaroo for so long #ESPECIALLY because the old neoquest skeleton enemies have skulls that feel way more believable??? #the big chubby cheeks on this guy... charming

I finally (got help) slapping Wordpress into shape and Runaway to the Stars is now releasing as a public webcomic! Thank you so much for your support over the years, and sticking with me while I'm slowly chewing my way through this book. I'm very excited to share this story! It'll be updating every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday thanks to the massive Patreon backlog. Patreon will continue to update as I finish pages, which happens on a sporadic non-schedule.

If you experience bugs with the site report them to me. Some things may occasionally break, as coding problems tend to be a very "whack-a-mole" affair; and I'm still getting used to the interface.

#i love rtts; highly recommend if you like aliens and sci fi with a ton of care and research put in #reblogs

🎭 🪨 for Sam: i ask him something personal and possibly upsetting and make up for it with a cool rock

🎭 What is the one thing your OC regrets most? Would they undo it, considering how their life turned out?

🪨 Someone gifts your OC a shiny rock. What do they do with it?

I didn't read the question fully until after i drew this, so to answer "what do they do with it"- he is going to put it in one of his Piles

these two shopkeepers feel like two opposite ends of the spectrum of official kiko depictions

the one on the left makes me ask 'HOW do people hate kikos', and the one on the right answers my question (although i do like its paper dolls)

the thing is, even if i prefer the art where they draw their eyes really close together, they CAN look cute with their eyes set further apart!! these ones in this neogreeting are really charming:

and this mutant one looks cute with the little snout they like to give them in recent depictions:

but then you have. these

which are actively unappealing to me.

it IS kind of fun that there's been so much style variation for them though

mocked up a hypothetical Glowing Tail wearable for Buzzes, based on the old glowing buzz's design:

I made mine yellow because i felt like it just makes more sense if its no longer tied to matching the Glowing paint brush color, but the wearable could hypothetically come in color variants:

👎🎭 for Viarnne?

i dont know why Viarnne hates Ross Reid and part of me thinks its funnier if there’s no real reason, but my favorite idea so far is ‘he got completely obliterated by Ross in counterstrike’

#o yeah i answered these at like midnight last night #here #self reblog

[synthaphone]

this would be a funny thing for my petpet to bring back even if it wasn't a rock, but it being a rock definitely adds to it
