an incredibly rough comic. i think star fragments would taste like a scintillating phantasmagoria of light, a severe electric shock, a newfound gambling addiction, and a hint of the nastiest artificial grape flavour you’ve ever tasted. sonic is imbued with the power of slot machines now
So uh somehow my oc became a dimension traveler XD TO NOT MUCH FAULT OF MY OWN IT JUST SNOWBALLED INTO THIS— the gist is that after the “How The Turn Have Tables” crossover fic I’m currently working on (the fic takes place around the end of season 1) Sylvia gets a side effect to where she just randomly appears in a random dimension XD so yeah that’s fun—
Also the background is basically an edited collage (by me) of all of me and my friendos art from The Employees AU. The main blog is @theemployees and I shall tag all of them so plz give them some love <3
See the thing about Sleep Token is that every song is probably just about about rough sex and toxic break ups and a fake god, but they all could have about 30 different meanings, and everyone of them is valid, and also so ridiculous, but I love them and also, it’s probably just sex, you know?
so glad i dont put any pressure on him obtaining wins anymore, i just want to see him inside the ring doing his thing, which he did flawlessly tonight and im so glad and so happy about tho 💜
god i know that complaining abt fic which most of you haven't read, and which i won't, for politeness' sake, identify in this post, is a great way to come across as both dickish and boring—
but i've been rereading a very long, very satisfyingly plotty series that's a fandom darling and the thing is, when you read like 400k of an author's work at once it really starts to become painfully apparent what their priorities are, by which i mean two things:
holy shit they're obsessed with 'what if strong powerful men who could hurt you didn't (but did hurt Bad Guys) (and it was sexy of them),' which leads into
holy shit they do not appear to have thought through the implications of saying 'i will have my heroes take over the same power structures that have enabled abuse, make no real changes to those structures other than swapping out the leadership, and then claim that everything is wonderful now bc Good Men Are In Charge'??
like. i don't necessarily need every passing fantasy to present me with a coherent, revolutionary system of politics and ethics—sometimes things are just fun and sexy and not especially Examined and that's fine!—but by the time someone's written literally almost half a million words, and done a lot of worldbuilding while they were at it, i am going to start squinting if they seem to think a Good Man can e.g. become an emperor by killing off the leadership of multiple countries and installing puppet kings loyal to him and still remain a Good Man, even if the justification was that the original leadership was maltreating its citizens and deserved to be extrajudicially executed. like. this shit was a bad, autocratic move when the US did it in real life and it's still bad now that you're having our mutual blorbo do it in fiction!
and that's not even getting into the whole thing where like. they've got servants who the Good Man and his friends ""treat well"" but who very much remain second-class citizens in terms of how the story actually frames them and their concerns. [this was also a huge issue i had with foz m*adows' most recent book—everyone wants to write about fantasy nobles but they also want to make them good people and it's like. honestly i think it might be better to get comfortable writing about flawed people, but also—if your aristos aren't treating their servants like equals and your text isn't either, you haven't actually cracked the Moral Aristo paradox, sorry!] like, there's nothing that says your story has to depict a fully Healed World, nor should there be! but it's troubling if you seem to be convinced you've written one (and have your wide-eyed love interests constantly marveling at it!) when you very patently haven't.
I wish GI wasn't trying to push people (kinda specifically longer players) away from the game, like damn. I really hope new players are watching closely and not just deciding "there are haters" or "complainers." Some of the things, like the age old where's the end-of-game road map, have been actual game needs that haven't been addressed for years. Game needs, guys. Idk, if you still call some people haters/complainers, then I'm probably gonna call you a bootlicker lol
Today at trivia: learned a baby hedgehog is called a hoglet. You've many hedgehog themed shenanigans here and I thought you'd like to know if you didn't already 💕
YEAAAHHHH LIL HOGLETS !!!!!! an UPMOST important fact to know...
friendly reminder that even if youre open about something on your blog, even if you think its so obviously right in your about/description/pinned/whatever, most of the people who will interact with you are not even looking that far at your blog. they dont know your name or your pronouns or your disabilities or your interests or your credentials or whatever you think is just *so obvious* that they *must* be intentionally ignoring it just to hurt you. ESPECIALLY not if theyre a random stranger who youve never interacted with once before, has never interacted with you once before either, and has absolutely zero reason to care about you. its not a personal attack, its just a fact. this is literally the internet
gotta love that the local news is like 'residents are saying illegal fireworks activity is especially bad this year and the fireworks sound more like actual bombs and people are very concerned' and the police are like 🤷♀️ we have no idea what these ppl are talking abt
Genuine question did some of yall forget about this scene?
Because Hayley forgave Hope, Hayley gave Hope closure, she physically saw that her mother found peace, Hayley literally says "I'm not dead because of you, I'm at peace because of you." I'm still salty over the writers killing her off because it was a pointless death but thats a different conversation. Alaric said "It would force them to confront memories of the worst things they'd ever done so that they can be redeemed." Landons death being the first thing she saw makes sense because it's what caused her to shut of her humanity and then because of that she killed Lizzie (which let's be real, 1. She had no idea Lizzie had vampire blood in her system, that would've devastated her when her humanity came back on if she actually died and 2. she's still going to regret that regardless.) Hope didn't directly kill her father he chose to sacrifice himself for his daughter and Elijah decided to join Klaus (again another writing decision that was pointless but thats besides the point). Family is at the very core of Hope's character but y'all are making this into something it isn't.
I DUNNO i just! it kinda rubs me the wrong way when ppl on the internet point out spelling/grammar mistakes as like a sick burn or whatever not only cause of stuff like ppl with language disabilities but also like. idk it seems sort of fucked up that not knowing perfect english is equated to being stupid, as if most people dont have a different native language. like idk a native english speaker being like “LMAO you dont even know perfect english??? what are you, an IDIOT??? an IDIOT who knows multiple languages and clearly constructed their sentence well enough for me to understand what they meant therefore making pointing it out useless for any and all reasons except me feeling superior in that im better at my native language than you are your second? LOL go back to MIDDLE school, person who speaks more languages than me” like do you see what i mean. people act as if english is the Ultimate Language (gee wonder why /s) and all other languages are like, second rate or some shit and anyone who doesnt speak it perfectly is an idiot. obviously it all goes back to colonialism and shit but the fact that people (including myself for a really long time) fail to even realize that worries me a bit. this post got longer than i intended but like whatever i think making fun of people with improper grammar or w/e holds very blatant ties to ableism and racism and we should stop doing it. lol
Hey kids, don’t be like me and wait til all sorts of crap is falling apart to replace it. Because then it becomes an issue of ‘this all needs to be replaced soon and it’s going to add up and how tf do i even decide which of these important everyday things to replace first’
