This pretty much summarizes how it feels knowing what's going to be coming and just having to take it.

I had a friend who adopted the system from Dragon Riders of Pern into an old forum roleplay group of ours and she was scared shitless that Anne McCaffrey was gonna find out

So I’m on AO3 and I see a lot of people who put “I do not own [insert fandom here]” before their story.

Like, I came on this site to read FAN fiction. This is a FAN fiction site. I’m fully aware that you don’t own the fandom or the characters. That’s why it’s called FAN FICTION.

This is some of the highest praise I've ever received, holy shit. Thank you!

My original story is my future yet to be written. Just like every other living person. But then again, the future is just history that's yet to be repeated, so I'm just life's little cliché 🤣

In all seriousness tho you're 100% correct. You can try to configure old ideas in interesting ways but there are no truly original ideas. And hell - there's no small number of people who find comfort in reading the exact same sort of thing over and over. So just write what you enjoy and would want to read

The problem with everyone trying to message me with new story ideas in an attempt to prove to me that I’m wrong and there’s some ideas that have never been done before is that by fruitlessly searching for something outrageous and new they are doing something which has been done before which is in fact fruitlessly searching for something outrageous and new

People who ‘love nature’ but violently hate their native coyotes, spiders, snakes, and scavengers are fake.

"Culinary mastery" and "compassion energy manipulation"

This is very funny to me because I am a notorious Food Criminal among my friends and my partner once drew me as a member of the Indigo Tribe

Click on it twice. These are your two super powers.

I also urge everyone to do your due diligence and try to figure out what types of milkweed are native to your specific area and try to obtain and plant that. Milkweed that isn't native to your particular area can potentially throw off a monarch's sense of where they are in their migration

Some of you may have heard about Monarch butterflies being added to the Threatened species list in the US and be planning to immediately rush out in spring and buy all the milkweed you can manage to do your part and help the species.

And that's fantastic!! Starting a pollinator garden and/or encouraging people and businesses around you to do the same is an excellent way to help not just Monarchs but many other threatened and at-risk pollinator species!

However.

Please please PLEASE do not obtain Tropical Milkweed for this purpose!

Tropical milkweed (Asclepias curassavica)--also commonly known as bloodflower, Mexican butterflyweed, and scarlet milkweed--will likely be the first species of milkweed you find for sale at most nurseries. It'll be fairly cheap, too, and it grows and propagates so easily you'll just want to grab it! But do not do that!

Tropical milkweed can cause a host of issues that can ultimately harm the butterflies you're trying to help, such as--

Harboring a protozoan parasite called OE (which has been linked to lower migration success, reductions in body mass, lifespan, mating success, and flight ability) for long periods of time

Remaining alive for longer periods, encouraging breeding during migration time/overwintering time as well as keeping monarchs in an area until a hard freeze wherein which they die

Actually becoming toxic to monarch caterpillars when exposed to warmer temperatures associated with climate change

However--do not be discouraged!! There are over 100 species of milkweed native to the United States, and plenty of resources on which are native to your state specifically! From there, you can find the nurseries dedicated to selling native milkweeds, or buy/trade for/collect seeds to grow them yourself!!

The world of native milkweeds is vast and enchanting, and I'm sure you'll soon find a favorite species native to your area that suits your growing space! There's tons of amazing options--whether you choose the beautiful pink vanilla-smelling swamp milkweed, the sophisticated redring milkweed, the elusive purple milkweed, the alluring green antelopehorn milkweed, or the charming heartleaf milkweed, or even something I didn't list!

And there's tons of resources and lots of people willing to help you on your native milkweed journey! Like me! Feel free to shoot me an ask if you have any questions!

Just. PLEASE. Leave the tropical milkweed alone. Stay away.

TLDR: Start a pollinator garden to help the monarchs! Just don't plant tropical milkweed. There's hundreds of other milkweeds to grow instead!

that's... not how it works. you can't guarantee that your work definitely won't squick anyone. what do you think you're saying?

i am on my knees tears running down my face knuckles raw and bleeding and BEGGING people to learn the difference between sentient and sapient

First off, amazing that a Mewtwo can have gaps in memory. Perhaps dreams aren't retained well in memory? Second...

(Hands Huey a printed copy of the Mew and Mewtwo series, opening up to the page where Huey dreamed about the deal with Dialga)

They were probably just curious if this deal would've caused paradoxes or if Dialga had failsafes for these situations.

Huey remembers things that actually happened but people can't honestly expect them to remember every single dream they've ever had, they forget he was barely aware of what newtwo was talking about even at the time

Can confirm. I think in full complete sentences word for word. It baffled me to learn that a lot of people only think in vague concepts and I still don't grasp how that works

Now combine that with the constant racing thoughts of ADHD and the hyperfixations of autism. My head sounds like several songs playing at once over a crowd of people over a TV over a jet taking off while you're trying to read and your mom is talking to you. Sometimes I can only blankly stare off into space because it's too overwhelming to process

There's a cool idea for some OCs in here somewhere...
