appalachia is devastated. towns i loved, towns i visited all the time, are gone. not damaged, GONE. they are leveled to the ground. there is nothing left but rubble and ruin. people are dead. appalachia is poor to begin with and relies on tourism for a lot of its income, and multiple of those tourist locations are just...gone.

my town is okay, but it's flooded and wrecked. trees are blocking all but one way out of our neighborhood. power lines are hanging limp in the roads. we've been without power for over 24 hours and will continue to be without power for likely another 24+. disabled people and poor people are GOING to die from this. gods save appalachia.

Hey friends in the InuYasha Fandom, how would y'all feel about me creating a discord server for the fandom where people can discuss InuYasha and even roleplay? @tilltheendwilliwrite @inukag @sankontesu @inuyashasforest

I'm on mobile, which I'm not familiar with so I'm finding tagging difficult.

Curious Question

First off, hi!!! I’m sorry I disappeared for so long. Life has been insane. A lot of downs, a few ups, and trying to get on track. I may still not even be very active but I’ll try.

Onto the question;

How do y’all feel about getting help from an AI when creating your stories or characters?

you: boromir succumbed to the ring because he was faithless, selfish and the weakest member of the fellowship

me, an intellectual: boromir held such belief in the power of good over evil and the strength of the people of middle earth that he literally believed with enough willpower they could turn sauron's work against him. he was absolutely convinced that with enough goodness and love and solidarity they could overcome the most fundamental evil. the ring used those beliefs and used them to isolate boromir from the fellowship because that's what it does - it takes people's good attributes and uses them to twist them into something serving its own purposes. the ring literally could only corrupt boromir because he was a fundamentally good and faithful person at heart. in this essay i will

A secret cabal of vampires is actually trying to fix the world’s problems. Not because they’re good people, but because modern Humans are so stressed and unhealthy and filled with pollutants that it makes their blood horrible to drink.

Honestly be pretentious as fuck about the stuff you create. Do a press release for your fanfic updates. Do a Q&A about your webcomic. Make fake merch designs for your OCs. Commission "official" book covers. Very few of us will ever get to a stage where something we've created Makes It Big but even if you have an audience of 5 people plus a shoelace fucking indulge yourself and pretend!! It's the only way to live!!

Listen, if you interrupt me with a new task while I’m midway through another, you aren’t allowed to be mad when I switch to the new task immediately. You clearly thought the new task was important enough to interrupt me with it!

I am just a little pikmin! You’re the one with the whistle!!

I am very serious if a game both negatively impact your mental health and is the source of all your joy, it means you have an addiction problem and you need to delete your account and uninstall it and cry for however many hours you need to get it out of your system.

Your lifeline CANNOT depend on a mobile game they're predatory as fuck.

Shoutout to the maned wolf, which is technically neither wolf nor fox but has its own genus called Chrysocyon! Why -

why are your legs so long?

I mean, intellectually, I understand that it’s because you live in grasslands and have evolved to be able to see over the grass, but emotionally… why? Are they?? Like that??? Surely there was a way to make your body more cohesive and proportional-looking?

You can tell when someone’s frame of reference for “normal people” is more “people at the church sponsored ice cream social” and less “people on the bus”

not a dream

When my grandpa died, I wrote him a poem and put it on my personal blog in Croatian (on an old platform here that like 200 people still use), on my Facebook (under my name) and on the Croatian subreddit.

It went mini viral on the Croatian subreddit and later I was sent an article from a Serbian portal where they took my poem, rewrote it in Serbian (Serbian and Croatian are super similar so the changes were minor) and did not sign me or give me credit at all while simultaneously using my story from Reddit to talk about me and call me "one Reddit user".

Like, which one??? Which Reddit user?????????????? At least link to my original thread if you wanna use my words, LOL.
