FNaF: Security Breach has had me in a chokehold for a bit, and then I found this awesome fanfic for it (with a vastly less depressing story ngl) by the incredibly talented @phrogggslayer! I fell in love with it so much that (with permission of course) I just had to try reading it aloud!

I unfortunately had to save it as a google drive file to allow me to post it to tumblr, but who doesn't have a google account, right?

It's been a while since I've done a reading like this, so it takes me a few minutes to get into the groove of it (I stuttered every now and then lol), but I hope it's enjoyable nonetheless!

Edit: Apparently you can hear my roomba going in the background too. I'll have to shut my door next time. Huge L.

And don't forget to check out the full fic (and series!) on ao3!

Remember the 6 year old girl who was surrounded by Israeli tanks and the red crescent couldn't reach her? Her name is Hind Hamadeh. Here you can hear the phone call her 15 year old sister, Layan Hamadeh, made with the medics. She was killed exactly a moment later including all people in the car, except for 6 year old Hind who was stuck in the car with the dead bodies of her family, Israeli tanks and IDF surrounding her, shooting, preventing anybody to reach her.

That was last night (29.1.24). Today, still nothing. The fate of Hind remains unknown.

palestine red crescent ambulance team went to rescue her yesterday evening, but they have not returned as of now. We lost contact with them about 18 hours ago, and we still remain unaware of their fate and whether they succeeded in evacuating her or not.

Please, share Hind's story as much as you can on any platform. We need to know what happened to her. Put yourself in her place, how terrified she must be. Don't scroll past this.

This is Hind.

#never stop speaking up. please #this is soo important don't just scroll past it read the story listen to the audio and share hind's story #palestine #gaza #israel #important #current events #free palestine #ethnic cleansing #free gaza #gaza strip #gaza under attack #israel apartheid #we are not numbers #spilled ink #video

#hewwo #polls #i personally would probably be on a 2-4 if we count ''1900s during the invention of wireless communication + a murder trial'' as a story #if not then. i die (the last manhwa i read was a red flag number) #note: FANFIC COUNTS

those first couple weeks after escaping a time loop have gotta be disorienting as all fuck. all those little cues that used to tell you what's about to happen are now triggers that cause you to brace for something that isn't coming. you have to relearn the permanence of death -- hell, you have reacquaint yourself with the entire concept of finality altogether. everything keeps changing but it never changes back and you keep having to remind yourself that this is normal. "it won't reset anymore," you echo to yourself, over and over and over, like a broken record, like you're still trapped in a loop, like someone who escaped the time loop but was doomed to bring it into the future with them

#orcspeak #edit: this is not about fanfic nor is it about a specific fanfic nor is it about a specific show or movie or book #this post is about the time loop trope itself which occurs in many different stories spanning many different art forms #i don't read or write fanfic and I'm not looking for fanfic recs and whatever character you think this is about there's #an 80 percent chance i don't recognize their name

Mostly spoiler free summary of my viewing experience

#The boy and the heron #how do you live #studio ghibli #ghibli #in all honesty that movie was legitimately so fantastic and im like changed as a person #Story wise as well! It hits really hard if you know a bit about miyazaki and his legacy. Its a very personal movie i think #And you can feel it in every aspect #The eng dub voice actors were really good as well and the animation was beautiful as always #Also really loved the tone!!! The story really relied a bit on the use of negative space in both sound and pacing and i enjoyed that alot #in conclusion go read a article about miyazaki and his son and then go watch the movie it’s probably going to be one of my favorites #image id in alt

There's a version of the "don't go grocery shopping while hungry" rule specifically for writers where you should never under any circumstances be allowed to touch your draft within 3 hours of reading a really good story. Because sometimes when you read something great your head goes "fuck this is so much better than my stuff I should make that more like THIS instead!" Look at me. That's the devil talking and you should close the document NOW.

#you will make superficial edits that do not gell well with the rest of your work #and won't actually capture what you thought was so good about that story #close the doc. sit down. think about it for a while. inspiration is fine. getting a 'eureka' moment from another story is fine #but if you find yourself comparing your work one to one with someone else's and taking any differences to be flaws on your part then STOP #you will never write good stuff by trying to make it look less like you wrote it #writing #writing advice #guess who just had to go into her google doc history and undo a bunch of panic-induced edits #because she read a fic about the same characters she's writing for? #meeee. they aged badly within just a few hours of hindsight. learn from my mistakes #self-hatred is not a good motivation for creation #fic writing

Reading fetish erotica with absolutely pristine and morally upright consent and neat and tidy safer sex practices is like watching a Fast and Furious movie where they stop at every stop sign and signal for every lane change and always obey the speed limit.

#I do those things in real life #I want to read a story about some fucked up shit going down #Thx mate #post o' mine #writing

The Surprising Benefits of Reading Stories Every Day

In the whirlwind of our daily lives, finding time to read stories may seem like a simple pleasure. However, the benefits of incorporating this daily habit into your routine are anything but ordinary. In this blog post, we will explore the surprising advantages of reading stories regularly and how it connect with the idea of "Real History."

Reading Stories: A Daily Ritual

Before we dive into the remarkable benefits, let's first emphasize the importance of weaving story reading into your daily life. Just as physical exercise keeps our bodies in shape, reading is an exercise for the mind and soul. Here's why making it a daily ritual matters:

Mental Stimulation: Reading stories challenges your brain, improving vocabulary, comprehension, and critical thinking skills.

Empathy and Understanding: Stories allow you to step into the shoes of characters, fostering empathy and a deeper understanding of human emotions.

Stress Relief: Immersing yourself in a captivating story offers a temporary escape from life's stressors, promoting relaxation and mental rejuvenation.

Creativity Boost: Read a story daily and spark your imagination, encouraging creative thinking and the ability to see the world from new angles.

The Surprising Benefits

Now, let's explore the remarkable advantages of making story reading a daily practice:

1. Empathy Amplification

Regular story reading cultivates empathy and a greater understanding of the human experience. As you immerse yourself in the characters' lives, you develop the ability to relate to their emotions and struggles. This heightened empathy extends to your real-life interactions, fostering more compassionate and meaningful relationships.

2. Enhanced Mental Well-Being

Story reading offers a therapeutic escape from life's daily pressures. It provides a mental sanctuary where you can momentarily leave behind your concerns. This break reduces stress, improves your mood, and instils a sense of calm and tranquillity, contributing to your overall mental well-being.

3. Cognitive Enrichment

Daily story reading is akin to a mental workout. It sharpens cognitive skills such as critical thinking, problem-solving, and vocabulary expansion. These mental exercises not only enhance your understanding of complex narratives but also equip you with valuable tools for navigating real-world challenges.

4. Increased Focus and Concentration

In an age of constant digital distractions, reading stories demands focused attention and concentration. By practising sustained focus during story immersion, you can boost your ability to stay on task and resist the lure of distractions in your daily life.

5. Expanded Knowledge and Perspective

Stories often explore diverse settings, cultures, and time periods. Regularly reading a variety of stories broadens your horizons and deepens your understanding of different aspects of the world. It opens your mind to new perspectives and enriches your knowledge base, much like the diverse little stories that comprise our history.

Conclusion

Incorporating daily story reading into your routine is not just a leisurely pastime; it is a gateway to personal growth, heightened empathy, and improved cognitive abilities. As you immerse yourself in the stories of fictional characters, you not only enrich your own life but also become better equipped to appreciate and connect with the little stories that constitute our history.

So, read stories, write your own stories, and remember that in both fiction and real history, the power of stories lies in their capacity to connect us, teach us, and ultimately, enrich our lives.

Normalize letting trans kids live.

Every trans child on this planet deserves to be safe & supported.
