y’know, I feel like the aro community is one of the only places I can talk about having queer attraction to men without it constantly being the butt of a joke.
I find it interesting that, while the broad a-spec community jokes about the concept of attraction, the majority of takes I see that poke fun at attraction are systemic rather than individual. I do see the takes on "I don't understand why someone would be attracted to xyz person", usually if the relationship is unhealthy, which I have many thoughts on (notably: please read any resource ever on helping people experiencing abuse), but...
I can say "yeah, I find men attractive in some form. sometimes sexual, sometimes in a way where all I know is that it isn't romantic", and I don't have to brace for a litany of "ew, you like men? rip, f in the chat" and similar sentiments. I've experienced more than a few explicitly queer irl spaces where queer attraction to men must be qualified with a statement about how it's terrible, actually because men are terrible, and it's exhausting. I just want to talk about being queer with other queer people without feeling like i'm walking through a minefield of useless radfem rhetoric that portrays all men as inherently, intrinsically "bad", and my attraction to them as low-key problematic (and honestly, the homophobic history of that... is immense).
I'm not going anywhere too specific with this, but it's just... interesting. i'm not sure if this is something where I've curated my experience with aros online to avoid that nonsense in ways I can't do irl, or if it's an actual phenomena. i just know that i'm far from the only irl queer person I know who experiences attraction to men and feels like we're expected to self-deprecate about it or be told we're ruining others' fun.

Do you have more Erchius headcanons or ideas?
hehehe thank you for asking i do indeed!
Edit (Aug 23): sorry for taking so long! this. got longer than i thought it would!
ok so. some of my erchius headcanons can be applied to main lore pretty easily but the other half make more sense in the context of uh. my main "au" is probably the best term for it. I made some pretty big additions to starbound lore for my own stories (which i have not elaborated on much yet). l'll put anything about my main au under a readmore for organization. Edit (Aug 23): I will be putting the au stuff in a reblog. I need to get this post out of my drafts. (Aug 25): Stay tuned for the reblog! It's going to be a lot of oc backstory stuff but also wider worldbuliding.
Edit (Aug 24): Everything is under a readmore now! Post got long.
(For the sake of clarity, I will be referring to the 'Crystal Erchius Fuel' as 'Surface Erchius' and the 'Crystal Erchius' building block as simply 'Crystal Erchius.' Liquid Erchius stays the same.)
Erchius Miners distract the ghost to dig deeper
Tumblr media
The most common method, illustrated above, is to gather a large amount of surface erchius and attach it to a ship that will maintain a low enough orbit for the ghost to follow. Surprisingly enough, this method can be considered SpOSHA (Space OSHA) compliant as long as all the necessary guidelines are followed. Most of the guidelines pertain to the amount of time a ship stays in orbit and making sure all miners are evacuated long before the next mandatory ship downtime.
Erchius crystal is a highly regulated, dangerous substance
Even before the first Erchius Incident (emergence of the Erchius Horror) many twisted and malformed bodies would appear in the depths of Erchius mines across the known galaxy. When the accounts of "flesh warping' began to pile up, the Terrene Protectorate banned all Terrene civilians from entering a certain depth into the mines, and then eventually banned entrance into mines completely. This resulted in many mines in protectorate/proc. allied space either shutting down completely, switching to remote controlled mining robots, or continuing operations as usual, illegally. The output from the remote mines decreased considerably after the increase in regulation, resulting in a shortage of ship FTL fuel and an increase in frequency of surface erchius mining by ship crews. Resulting in more erchius ghost-related deaths and injuries.
The illegal mines however, are run by two sorts of groups: Small Covert Groups from the local star system or Letheia Corp. The local groups usually depend heavily on Liquid Erchius in interstellar trade, especially if they don't have any other resources that would be profitable outside their solar system. Many local trade routes/services rely on bartering systems rather than pixels, making the acquisition of out of system resources all the more dependent on the availability of local resources. Now, with the protectorate scrambled and Earth destroyed, many isolated colonies that relied on the backing of the Terrene Protectorate in times of crisis must now rely on more transactional relationships for the acquisition of necessities produced out of their system and for security.
Letheia corp. mines operate on a whole other level. Where the goal of the local mines often is to support one or more colonies, the goal of the corporate mines is to monopolize a market, thereby securing the dependence of most FTL travel in the known galaxy. The majority of Letheia mines started out as local mines and then were bought out by Letheia, who dug deeper than the original owners. To the core. Surprisingly, once they were done, they would give the mines back to the original owners. However, most of what Letheia took from these mines was not Liquid or Surface Erchius, but their Core. Which leads to my next subject:
The Letheia Lunar Bases (A.K.A. The Erchius Mining Facilities) are artificially created Erchius moons
Tumblr media Tumblr media
By transplanting the core of an Erchius Moon into a rogue planet, Letheia Corp. created artificial erchius mines substantially larger and efficient than any known erchius moon. However, the chance of an erchius core successfully establishing itself in a new planet are low. If Letheia has at least 12 of these Lunar Bases, who knows how many cores they burned through to get that far. When a natural erchius moon loses its core, the ghost disappears. Over time, the pockets of Liquid Erchius will deplete, no longer resupplied by the core. By taking the core of the local mines, Letheia destroys a renewable resource that most colonies depend on to engage in local and interstellar trade.
So why hasn't anybody done something about this? Well, Letheia is pretty good at covering up after themselves. (They're not the largest mega corp in the known galaxy for nothing.) Before the Ruin destroyed Earth, the local miners that had their Erchius Core taken by Letheia might have complained to the Protectorate, but what can they say? They sold their mine to Letheia and then Letheia gave it back for a fraction of the cost. But it doesn't stop there. By the time the local miners realize the Liquid Erchius is not replenishing, it's too late to search for other resources. They're desperate for solutions. And in comes Letheia corp. with an offer the miners won't refuse: Come work on the new Lunar Bases. In exchange, Letheia will set up stations in their solar system and add them to the Letheia trade routes. The miners are assured that the Lunar Bases may be farther away, but the working conditions are much safer. On the surface, this is a miracle deal, but anyone whose played the game knows: It's a deal too good to be true.

Hi!!! Your art style is one of my favorites, every drawing you do is so pleasant to look at! If you're still taking asks about Eddsworld, I'm really interested in your Tord and his army! It's the most interesting version of the army that I've ever seen and I'd love to know more, if that's alright!
hey!! ty for enjoying my stuff!!
i have. too many interpretations of the RL and RA across the Many aus ive made but i guess the most notable one is union RL so i guess ill go into that one first
the army here isnt really an army more than a small core group of anarcho-communist activists spearheaded by tord as RL, and their supporters/volunteers
their usual criminal activity is airing out grievances of slighted workers to their employers and other higher class entities like the state or corporations except with less paperwork and more guns
basically one day tord sat down and read marx and kropotkin back to back then founded the worlds most violent labor union and now the govt hates him
Tumblr media
the initial doodle that kickstarted the concept
Tumblr media
expanding on the idea
Tumblr media
general blurb of RLs whole deal; right is him in real action as a striker/rioter, left is him mocking the state by parodying a figure of power that protects them (its glorified cosplay)

(since i sense you may be having an atticus finch moment rn) is go set a watchman "canon" to you? i always liked tkam but i never read gsaw (even though someone gave it to me when it came out) because i got a weird feeling about the circumstances of it being published among other things. never talked to anybody about it so figured i'd ask a certified tkam enjoyer
i am having Such an atticus finch moment that i have three fics in the works for him
ohhh boy so hear me out.
warning: i'm rereading tkam as we speak and its been a while since ive read gsaw
in my own personal head-interpretation of to kill a mockingbird, in which the irl reality of its publication is disregarded, gsaw is canon in the sense that it's the alternate universe of to kill a mockingbird, with the point of divergence being the tom robinson trial.
tom robinson is found guilty: atticus experiences Character Growth and becomes and remains the folk hero Defender of Rights and dilf we know today
tom robinson is not found guilty [or at least, not found guilty via the defense atticus uses in gsaw]: atticus basically remains on the natural course he was in the beginning of tkam to bigotry and Racism TM
tldr: gsaw, on its own, is not a good book, and nor is it fully canon, but it does serve as great contextualization to the person that atticus is in tkam and who atticus could have been.
at the beginning of the book and throughout the trial, atticus finch is clearly a very White Moderate in our Modern Terms, in the sense that he might disapprove of the racism exhibited by the citizens of maycomb, but he also is more than content to not do anything about it. his worldview is essentially: "man it sure sucks that my neighbors are prejudiced and more than willing to sentence an innocent man to death, and but i guess i'll tolerate it and spend time around them because they're good people at heart [to other white people]." you know how one of the most memorable lessons atticus teaches to scout is to have empathy for others? my argument is that atticus's practicing of that is what makes him to give too much leeway to the bigoted members of the community around him.
we see this with ike finch, maycomb's "sole surviving confederate veteran" and stonewall jackson fetishist. he makes his appearance early on in the book, prior to the robinson case even being introduced. according to scout, he comes by at least once a year to "rehash the war" with atticus. while i can assume this means that ike is representing the confederacy and atticus the union in this conversation, considering that in the immediate paragraph after, atticus states "this time we aren't fighting the yankees, we're fighting our friends. but remember this, no matter how bitter things get, they're still our friends and this is still our home." it implies that in this american civil war replay, either both of them are identifying with the confederacy, or ike is and atticus is more than okay to go along with it. and in addition, atticus's apparent determination to remain on good terms with the people of maycomb no matter how bitter it got adds questions to just what he would have considered bitter enough for the people of maycomb to no longer remain his friends. if the mob at the scene at the jailhouse actually managed to lynch tom robinson, which they were probably going to do, until scout saved the day, would that have been "bitter enough" for atticus to reconsider being friends with murderers?
actually the fact that he adds in 'and this is still our home' makes me think he was planning to leave maycomb entirely if that scenerio actually happened but i digress
and then you get to ms. dubose, who serves as another aspect to how atticus views the racism of his town. when ms. dubose dies, he calls her the most bravest person he'd ever known, for having the courage to die clean of her morphine addiction, and also a "great lady". which, i understand, in part, is because she Just Died and he's talking to Jem and Scout who are children, but the way that atticus talks about it makes you feel as though he's implying that her courage serves as either recompense or excuse for a. the racism and b. the whole thing where she essentially verbally harassed jem and scout whenever they came by for the horrid sin of walking where she could see them.
of course there's also maycomb trial in general. atticus obviously knows that he cant win-- the famous 'just because you're licked doesn't mean you can give up' quote-- because he understands the prejudice of the town. but i believe that behind the quote, atticus still had faith in the judicial process, just not in the people who were in charge of it in maycomb. its part of the reason for his appeal-- to get robinson to a higher court where the people there could be more open-minded.
so in essence, atticus at the turning point of his story [ the trial ], is someone who's
1. overly lenient and sympathetic view of his maycomb neighbors allows him to excuse much of the harmful rhetoric and actions they perpetrate
2. considers racism to be, while Bad, a certain type of bad that is ultimately forgivable/excusable. i think there's also evidence in tkam that he basically also thinks the same thing for other forms of bigotry but i'm not going to look for them.
3. has trust in the judicial system
so from there, we have the tom robinson trial.
i like to think that what acting as tom robinson's defense attorney did for atticus was that it forced him to actually reckon with the racism of maycomb as directed towards an actual human being rather than a Nebulous Construct. when tom robinson got declared guilty despite being innocent, it showed him the actual harmful effects of what the people of maycomb believed, on an actual human being, who was subsequently presumably murdered via 17 gunshot wounds. it showed the failures of a system that allowed for tom robinson to be murdered and sentenced for a crime he didn't commit in the first place.
in gsaw, without tom robinson being convicted, i don't think that lesson would have hit so hard. to gsaw!atticus, robinson being declared not guilty is proof that the racism of maycomb is ultimately Not That Harmful, proof that the system ultimately Works As It Should, and it allows him to sink deeper into interactions with more extreme racist individuals, and eventually become the verison of atticus we see in gsaw.
in addition, gsaw!atticus's defense for tom robinson that gets him acquitted is that the robinson's presumed rape of mayella was consensual, whereas tkam!atticus reveals that the rape didn't happen between robinson and mayella in the first place (although, you know.) which implies a contrast between gsaw!atticus and tkam!atticus where tkam!atticus was focused on exonerating robinson's public image in order to then acquit robinson, but gsaw!atticus was focused on acquitting robinson head on, even if it meant attacking mayella instead.
what this would mean is that gsaw!atticus might not even have had all that much of an interaction with tom robinson, and therefore wasn't able to do that whole tkam-trademark Understanding and Seeing Him As A Person, thereby Removing his past Blinders to Injustice TM TM TM.
and this leads to the changes in atticus from tkam and gsaw. they're still the same person, but with a different turning point.

#i figured this would be better suited for a separate post continuing from here#I've had people get angry at me for giving Steve a proper strongman build - thus making him fat and muscular in the process#ive gotten people mad at me for making him his direct colorpicked skin tone. got told I made him ''the wrong color'' for it#got called slurs#got told i need to just ''take a joke'' when im getting right fully angry at people telling me im wrong for making his AU design that way#been quite literally told our art looks ''ugly as hell'' when people ran out of bigoted arguments#its all just getting really hard and really tiring to keep doing what i love when everyone is vocal about hating it#and very few people are vocal about liking it#i do art for me dont get me wrong. and people have been supportive.#but i cant help but wonder if anyone would have even cared about the mega ref at all if it hadn't been surrounded by people full of hate#its just hard to stay motivated and put my all into something that's gotten so much backlash for stupid reasons you know#i've been putting so much love into my work surrounding this AU lately. my writing and my art. for over the past year now#i try not to ask anything in return other than for people to just pay attention to it at all. give it a reblog#but the one time we have something out of it become popular its because people are stupid and bigoted#i dont care about numbers this isnt about that. i just care about returning the passion i put into the world.#if anyone wants to send anything my way feel free. i could use it#sorry for venting

i keep thinking about the trigun characters as cats. vash would be a lanky medium hair marmalade tabby with a white tummy. wolfwood would be a lanky medium hair black and white tuxedo. meryl would be a small long hair black cat with a white spot on her chest. etc

also so sick of the "its not grooming" discourse because of the fact its been used to just invalidate victims' stories. whatever you want to think, dream admitted to flirtatious dms to minors. regardless of what you want to label that and the outcome of all of this, this is really behavior you think is okay? its okay to you that a youtuber who is an adult with massive power differential because of his subscriber count being that he is a large youtuber and an adult reached out to minors and other fans and gave him his private snapchat and also sent flirtatious messages to them? Really? That's behavior you would be okay to happen to other people too? And that's if you just take dream by his words and not how it was also stated to be much more than just "cringe flirty" texts as dream says, especially in Amanda's story.

Honestly, this sounds a bit cliche 🤔 waking up, amnesia, murder accusations, running away, most popular supernatural creatures (vampires), hunters..
But I've learned not to judge IFs by their descriptions because the demo may surprise me. So good luck with your project!
it may be a little cliche im ngl but! i write out of pure self-indulgence, so im not too bothered by it, and i hope you aren't either🫶

have any of u guys seen that cheeseball cat on tiktok/insta?? idk i dont use instagram. this one
Tumblr media
i saw them months ago but they popped up again last night on my fyp and i want to talk about them so bad because theyre an occupied object as i like to call them (object with some kind of spirit in them, not to say haunted, just an object with some kind of 'being' or soul to it) and i find it endearing that a cheeseball cat i randomly saw one day is occupied. now we go under readmore
im pulling most of the screenshots from this video because its the one i saw last night so go watch if youre curious and to show the creator some love for their art!
if you have no idea who cheddar is they were not always a cheeseball, the creator bought them and painted them like this originally they looked like THIS
Tumblr media
the being in them was present from the time of buying, they stick out like a sore thumb in this image specifically (likely because this is the day of buying and they havent settled into their surroundings at all)
luckily they dont seem to mind the fact that they were painted like a giant cheeseball at all. i cant say every being would take well to that, but if anything, they seem to like it. even if op and the fans on tiktok arent aware theyre 'there', they seem to enjoy the attention they get, and the individual love they have been given in the paint job. to be loved is to be changed or whateva. in all seriousness though they are fine with it, more than fine, which im glad lmao
theres plenty of beings in objects that are discontent with their situation, where the person theyre with either is not aware of them at all, or is misguided in their views towards beings in objects/uncaring/ even scared, but cheddar here seems perfectly happy. while others might shy away from attention, they seem to like the attention tiktok gets them.
Tumblr media
i mean, they have their own little pedestal, special gift like baby cats that are custom painted, theyre special and named to the person theyre with, and people on tiktok love them. not a bad life if thats something you like! im really happy they feel so content, i get sad seeing beings that are unhappy on the internet but i cant rlly do anything about those cases so 😭
Tumblr media
they really seem to like the person theyre with too, in this frame of them being picked up, their energy softens and brightens and makes my chest feel giddy and affectionate. theyre very cute i adore this cat i would give them a hug if theyd have me
i think they likely have a purpose or magical skill, but i cant pinpoint it further than 'they want to bring good into this persons life', which could cover a raaange of things.
theyre not malicious at all, they seem very content and friendly and i wouldnt feel uncomfortable around them at all in person so no worry of that. a bit intense before settling into their new life, but not bad. sometimes beings are just a bit intense lol. theyre not haunted by any human spirit, i can't say where they came from, or when, but i don't think they were ever 'alive' either animal or human.
i ♥️ cheddar and their sweet little cheese throne

Well I guess holding off on this isn't gonna do much so I might as well get it over with
A quick refresher, it's been mentioned a few times before that this account is run by the host of a system, which obviously is Sludge, but we've also popped in a few times usually just with reblogged posts tagged "[emoji]post" while we look around
Unfortunately though, today we just found out about the first ever deaths in headspace of two members who were really important to our history, and I think Sludge took the news the worst out of any of us and to keep this breif pretty much left taking care of things to the rest of us for a little while until honk feels okay enough to come back
Things should continue as usual relatively speaking, but we just felt it was best to let people know that the main proprietor of silliness on this blog and others isn't gonna exactly be the same guy for a little while
Take care of yourselves out there

For some reason this round of GON peripheral nerve blocks were SUPER painful and the recovery is so bad. Nausea, pain, difficulty sleeping because the back of my head is on fire. Hard to manage the pain even with motrin, muscle relaxers at night, weed/CBD and tbh I feel to crappy tk get my own ice/heat.
Every resident doc does it differently (all less gentle than my expert doc who oversees) but I guess it can make a big difference when 5 ml of fluid is being injected and shoved around into crevices on either side of my head with a 1.5 inch 27 gauge needle. The numbing agent lasts until the morning after the procedure and then usually the first few days are rough, but I'm on my second morning of barely bearable pain.
If this were just a GON block there would be some steroid in there to help pain longer term, but these are just "test blocks" with temporary numbing only for insurance purposes (aka torture) before we go on to do an RFA, which I can talk more about when it happens in a couple weeks. We have to do 2 of these test blocks 2 weeks apart before even getting to the real procedure (this is the second one of this round, thankfully).

how about 10?
10: how do you deal with art-block?
Redrawing old stuff! No thinking required and also seeing my improvement helps motivate me :33 besides that I also rlly like going through pinterest boards for outfits I had saved to draw my ocs in!!
I also have tabs on my fav books of scenes that made me want to draw or scenes that felt really colorful in my mind while reading, so if I'm feeling emotional I'll look through those as well!! THANK YOU FOR THE ASK AGXHXHFv

Hi! Im kinda new in the fandom and trying to get familiar with Jason as a character. Would you say that pre-crisis and post-crisis are too different regarding their personality? I’m aware of their different origin, but is it safe to assume that the way they behave, their choices and thoughts and feelings are different too? Or can both versions of jason feel like a continuity of the other with just a small change? Can both characterizations co exist? Thxs!
I wrote such a long answer for this but honestly it was unnecessary, tl;dr is that they're two different characters and their runs can't be read as a continuation of each other, but writers (and readers) pick and choose elements from both runs to consider canon, since during Infinite Crisis when Superman punched reality there was a merge of Jason's backstory, and there's elements of both since then. (And even before that!) You said you're new to the fandom so i'm not sure how much you know about that, but to make it short there was some cosmic event and both Jasons "merged" in one, its safe to say he's kept the stealing tires backstory ever since but sometimes writers use other pre-crisis elements.
(DISCLAIMER: i havent read dc in a while so i don't know if this still stands but given that last time i read comics "everything is canon" i'm assuming yeah. People feel free to correct me lol)
And about "is it safe to assume that the way they behave, their choices and thoughts and feelings are different too?" yes and no. They have similar themes in their characters (they're both traumatized kids experiencing their parents loss and having big shoes to fit, wanting to find their place as Robin/Bruce's son, etc) and have similar personality traits (good students, cheeky, stubborn, talked back to bruce and other adults) but to me their life experiences, and how their stories were handled sets them apart.
(by that i mean that pre-crisis Jason had a lot of more development than post-crisis and his relationship with Bruce was fleshed out more, while post-crisis we don't see that happen in.. real time i guess?. Plus pre-crisis bruce and post-crisis bruce is very different so that's a notorious change that affects jason's development as well)
Anyways, Pre-crisis is very fun so i recommend reading it regardless and then you decide what's still canon ^___^
