I made an SCP MotW world using the Codex. It's specifically set in the 90s and the way you're supposed to design monsters is to roll an RNG from 1 fo 2999 and use that article. If it's too safe or not enough for a mystery, roll again but include the one you got as some added spice.

Another rule change was changing The Mundane to The D-Class. Instead of one guy, you instead play 7 idiots where whenever you take harm one of them dies. You heal by either performing necromancy or by finding more D-Class to conscript into the group.

Ooo neat!!

watcher alternatives

in honor of steven and the ghoul boys shitting the proverbial bed, here's some of my favorite youtube channels/podcasts with similar vibes!

michael reeves: an extremely unhinged youtuber who makes robots! he only posts once or twice a year, but his videos are super worth it!

sorta stupid: my favorite reaction channel. these guys are super chill and funny, and they are the ultimate allies (go check out their toh series if you wanna see them be huge lumity shippers!)

microwave society: they also do reactions, but they specialize in shitty kids movies (and the occasional classic like megamind or shrek). check out their veggietales videos if you want to laugh until you puke.

max0r: does unhinged video game reviews that are like crack for people with adhd.

anthpo: he's not making videos anymore, but all his stuff is up on youtube and he perfectly balances feel-good and funny.

cryptid keeper podcast: this podcast has major early-unsolved vibes and they somewhat have the skeptic/believer dynamic as well.

I love your work so much i can't even describe it, it's giving me a warm and comfy vibe <3 I recently remembered Apollo is the god of mice, so i was wondering... can you please draw him holding a lil mouse and being amazed by its preciousness ? I would be so blessed if you did

Ooh ohh this isn't exactly what you said but this gave me an idea.

When those close to the Lord Apollo pray for his presence, he will often come with a companion. Sometimes, it will be one of his sacred red cattle. Sometimes, the divine wolf, Kitrinomavros. Sometimes, he will fly down with ravens, or his arrival will be punctuated by the trilling song of locusts. But with only his closest circle, Apollo will arrive with ...

His pet mouse.

Apollo insists that this mouse is very important, but no one has quite figured out what he means by that.

#The mouse's name is Phulax btw #It means Guardian or Keeper #what's he guarding? Only Apollo knows #Also I am glad I give out the comfy vibe that's so nice of you to say!! #Hope this art lives up to your standards lol #trials of apollo #toa apollo #lester papadopoulos #apollart #ask #sunny speaks

Reiju saying don’t ever let him (Luffy) go to Sanji…she knows. She KNOWS

#Sanji: I—what?? #Reiju: He’s a keeper. Don’t let him go no matter what #Sanji: H. HOW DID YOU KNOW THAT I. UH #Reiju: Older sister’s intuition ^^ #Shima speaks #Also that made me tear up a little holy shit. The parallels between Reiju pushing Sanji forward the first time VS now #The first time she had no idea if he’d even survive let alone be generally okay but this time she knows for SURE he’ll be alright #Bc he has his captain and his crew and they love him so so much #Her having to watch him leave again tho 😭 #She really cares about him and I’m EMO #I love Reiju sm……she’s such a good sister #One Piece #Sanlu #Lusan #Sanji #Luffy #Reiju

i was in early high school when I first denoted myself as asexual. while I had not experienced sex, I knew I was fairly eh about it; I didn't experience that form of desire towards people. Even if it was an experience I wanted to have, it was never anything about any particular person, but rather just wanting to experience something in general.

The landscape of tumblr at this time was rather ace positive. Asexuality was a well-known label, and a celebrated aspect of queerness. There were light-hearted jokes about the LGBTQ+ community about swingsets (straight people swing one way, gays swing another, bi swing both direction, pan swing violently everywhere, and ace people don't swing at all) that always made me smile.

And then everything collapsed, and the idea that "ace people aren't queer because they don't experience the same oppression" became uncomfortably loud. Everyone had a take, and a lot of people started to en masse make fun of and exclude ace people.

The basis, whether openly or not, was the idea of being "straight passing", that we could be perceived by heteronormative society as compliant and participant, when in fact we are not.

I cannot stress enough that I was there, and I remember it all. I had to delete my previous tumblr account entirely because I made a post supporting asexuality and celebrating it, and I got a wave of hate—to the point that when I changed my URL, someone made a new blog with my previous one to make fun of me.

I remember losing friends because of this phenomenon. I had people I trusted, appreciated, relied on, and that trust was broken because they believed I was undeserving of community with other queer people because, from their perspective, I wasn't oppressed the same way.

It doesn't matter that we were mistreated in ways that were largely similar to other homosexual people, through peer pressure and people trying to "make us straight" or seeing our asexuality as a challenge the same way they might see a lesbian as fixable. It doesn't matter that many asexuals had their committed romantic relationships fall apart because they couldn't please their partners. It doesn't matter that many people still joke about asexuals being plants as a means to demean us.

Because even if none of that actual mistreatment and disrespect happened, asexuals were oppressed by our own fucking community. We were mistreated, disrespected, attacked, and silenced by our queer peers simply because we didn't fuck.

Exclusionists believed we weren't queer enough because we weren't oppressed for being asexuality, so they oppressed us themselves and forced so many of us back into the closet.

It's an impressive level of hypocrisy, that we are mistreated by those who should stand in solidarity with us because they don't get it. Because they think it's weird, or it's a phase, or it's not having found the right person, exactly how they claim to have been mistreated. These people used us as a punching bag to reflect their own grief and trauma upon, to feel big and strong where the rest of the world made them feel small.

And instead, we could have stood together.

Our community online cannibalized itself from the inside out for some twisted game of pain olympics, providing value to only those they deemed worthy, reflecting the way our community as a whole had been treated for decades.

I want to make clear that this happened because of people that decided they needed to be valued on the terms of heteronormative society. This happened because of a need for external validation and acceptance from the people that hate us. I said it years ago, and I'll say it again:

The people who hate us don't care if we're gay, bi, pan, ace, or something else. They care that we're different from them, and they will hate us indiscriminately.

It's this ideology that fed into biphobia, panphobia, truscum/transmedicalism, and eventually terfism. It's this ideology that we have to conform in our nonconformity that has caused this rift.

This community has spent the better part of a decade cannibalizing itself, severing itself, dividing itself, and making it all the more simple for our oppressors to devour us.

Because we're not queer unless we experience same sex attraction. Because we're not queer if we experience opposite sex attraction. Because we're not trans unless we conform to heteronormative gender stereotypes. Because we're not trans at all.

And the last step is that we're not queer at all. Because we were divided and conquered by ourselves.

I will not mince words: this will not happen again. I will not be traumatized back into the closet again. I will not watch as a community built from the ground up for the express purpose of solidarity and supporting the divergent is torn apart by the very people that it exists to support.

Within the last couple years, I determined I am aromantic as well. But because of this experience, despite my perceived solidity in ace/aro validity, I wasn't sure if I should come out, or if I was correct. I hesitated, closeted by those masquerading as a part of my community, made to question in the back of my mind that my feelings were incorrect, a phase, a problem.

Even if I were to be aromantic and not asexual, or asexual and not aromantic, I am still queer.

And now history repeats itself, and a new wave of self-proclaimed judges of queer validity try to take this away from us, and a new wave of asexuals and aromantics are at risk of feeling this same struggle.

It is with no respect, and seething rage, that I say this: anyone who repeats the past is not welcome here. Anyone who seeks to divide our community again is not welcome here.

If you come here to this website to spew hatred and vile at the members of your own community, you are not welcome on this website. You will not repeat the past without consequence again.

If you believe in any such way that queerness requires some amount of conformity beyond not being cishet, you are not welcome here.

In short, and with absolute hatred:

Aphobes, get the fuck off my website. We will not do this again.

HELLO??? YOUR NEW AU IS SO SO COOL!!1!1!1!1!

just imagining scar watching everyone he cares about slowly descend into maddness before they all start killing eachother is so interesting! can’t wait to see what you add next :3

ehehehe thank you!!! :D

the whole premise is that after winning secret life, scar was… very miserable all by himself on the server. so the watchers kind of took advantage of his misery and they completely reset the game. everyone came back, except no one has any memories of scar. it’s like he’s kind of been wiped from existence! :D

and in turn, scar was made the secret keeper, forced to watch them all and give them tasks.

grian is the only one to notice at first just how wrong everything feels. his memories feel incorrect, like there’s something or someone missing from them. and it feels like there’s a piece of himself missing, he just can’t quite put his finger on it. so now he’s trying to go through secret life while figuring out the mystery behind why the secret keeper statue feels so familiar to him.

and scar is just,,, forced to watch all of this, unable to do anything about it :)
