Very glad smosh cast/crew are okay. hope that continues to be the case, and that everyone takes all the time they need to regroup from this.

Ended up pulling together a number of links from ones people (including the smosh folks) have been sharing and others ive been seeing over the course of the day, so compiling and posting it both for me to have on hand and in case other folks find it helpful.

@/mutualaidla on instagram has a number of resources if you either would like to give to local mutual aid efforts or are in need of any. This post compiles screenshots of resources from their story today. It includes places to give resources, places to get resources, where to get info/alerts if youre near the area, shelters, etc. This post by LocaleMagazine, similarly, compiles resources/information to get help/give help.

The LA Times, The Cut, and Time all have articles/instagram posts compiling ways for folks outside to help. (LA Insta post, the Cut article, the Time article).

For folks whose homes have been impacted, or know anyone whose homes have been impacted, this post from the LA Times outlines some steps that can be taken.

For information about go bags, staying up to date on alerts, evacuation tips, etc lafd.org can be used for alerts. readyla.county.gov can be used for text alerts, as well as information about what to pack in go bags/evacuation tips. For apps, both WatchDuty and the NWS (National Weather Service) app appear to be widely used atm.

Laatly, this post from Ify + the exploitative nature of the US carceral system, as firefighters risk their lives is. good to keep in mind.

Forever trying to balance the fact that people often do not pick up that I'm being hyperbolic to be silly and also the fact that I hate explaining that I'm joking when I say smth because then it's less funny !!

two open windows, one powerful fan blowing in, one powerful fan blowing out, and i have tasked my poor thermostat with keeping the apartment at a nice 70 degrees. my father would weep to see the wanton energy consumption

I'm still working on a master list of Arcosian biology, but have temporarily halted it due to how time consuming my work has been. Nonetheless, I want to throw out a few ideas I've come up with that I plan to apply to Cooler (or any Arcosian NPC that I write, for that matter):

Arcosian blood is blue. This is canon to the manga coloring when Freeza was shown bleeding, but not to the anime where it is red. I love the idea of their blood being blue since it's also unique to other alien blood, which tends to be purple, and for the pun of Arcosians being "cold-blooded" (or the Cold Clan being "blue blood" royalty).

An Arcosian bite is venomous. They have glands that will secrete toxins from their fangs, injecting their prey with a venom that causes varying degrees of paralysis. It is non-fatal, but its effects can range between temporary loss of certain motor functions to full-body paralysis for several hours, and was used back in Ancient Arcos as a means for hunting and subduing their prey. Nowadays, modern Arcosians find biting other sapient beings to be very "barbaric" and embarrassing. Nonetheless, when a rattlesnake is cornered...

There are male, female, and intersex Arcosians. The differences between the three are incredibly subtle to the non-Arcosian eye, which is why most of the universe believes their species are a "one-gendered", asexual race, similar to the Namekians. Male Arcosians tend to have a broader upper-body, thicker tails, and their natural coloring is vibrant, while female Arcosians tend to have wider hips, slimmer tails, and softer, more neutral coloring. Intersex Arcosian can have an assortment of features from either sex. Their genitals are sheathed, and they do not have breasts or nipples.

Arcosians have night vision. With their home world of Arcos being perpetually dark due to their solar system's star being too far for a typical day-and-night cycle, Arcosians have naturally evolved to have nocturnal vision in order to acclimate to their surrounding environment.

The average natural lifespan of an Arcosian is 500 years. Arcosians age very slowly when compared to most other species, and their generally ageing cycle has longer development than, lets say an Earthling or a Saiyan. Generally, their development goes like this: - Egg: their parent will birth an egg which will take around 5 years to hatch - Infant: from the moment they hatch to age 19 - Toddler: from the age of 20 to 39 - Juvenile: from age 40 to 59 - Adolescent: from age 60 to 99 - Young Adult: from age 100 to 199 - Middle-Aged Adult: from age 200 to 299 - Older Adult: from age 300 to 399 - Elderly: from age 400 and above

Y’all are so mad that Eddie might have his own queer storyline and I’m having the time of my life- why are y’all so mad lmaooo

Never beating the ‘Y’all are just Eddie Diaz antis’ accusations, truly.

[qoldenskies]

I think it’d be hilarious to see Timothy get fucking ENRAGED over Leo’s comment about Donnie lol. Like he doesn’t know too much about why Donnie is. Like that. So Leo says something and Timothy’s thought process is just getting more and more inflamed 😭 makin himself even more mad over it

ACTUALLY YEAH IN GENERAL that's a scene that might not get to happen if i stuck to donnie pov because i dont think he'd be there to witness it.... like it was just leo putting his foot in his mouth he didnt mean to come off that way, but also he does not have the audacity to get nasty with tim when donnie's present. he turns into a little puppy the second he enters the room. he will play soooo nice even when tim can tell he's blowing him up with his mind from across the table

"Policed to Meet You"

Pop Tate's new hair looks rather squiggly. Not going to Archie's buck teeth anymore. Reconsidered the amount of ice cream needed for a large party.

Archie's shoulders now bumping about, I guess.

Ming out, Manchu in. New bowtie colors. Counter to the manner things get washed out in one color-- see bridge here.

Recolor Veronica's dress.

Not coloring the soles of Archie's shoes anymore.

The soot in face leads to a reference they don't much want to keep. Though now the replacement just kind of sits non-sensically.

Puzzling question on Lodge's new front of suit color. It had not been blackened in the sooty exhaust scene.

Maybe the foreign legion reference gets dropped as a "duplicatable" appraisal? It was stuffed in anyways.

[rottiens]

I had forgotten how exhausting it was to build a smut scene from scratch and take your time to do it unhurriedly so that it makes sense with the whole plot

ruined by fury

you are angry. you are angry and everyone knows it. the fire within you will not die, cannot die. for if it dies, you wont have a reason to burn. your rage simmers close to your chest, it boils near something you wont touch. you are angry because it is easier than anything else. you are angry because you choose it over pain. you are ruined because you cannot feel anything but your own ire.

⚠️ spoilers for some year 3 + 4 dialogue with gustafa's child below! ⚠️

[ some of the text in the second image is cut off, the full dialogue is likely meant to be "hold on a second. has gustafa been riding your coattails this whole time?" ]

no, because why is bea so brutal towards gustafa oh my god?? like you're really just gonna ask that question when he's within earshot??? 😭😭😭

Hey! So, uh, I should probably be honest with y'all. Gonna be moving blogs pretty soon! There's still some cleaning up I need to do before everything's ready. But I thought it was for the best to let y'all know before that happens.

I've had this thing running for a good while now, and it's honestly become such a huge mess in my eyes. I think a fresh start would do me some good. Help me feel motivated again. Take away the struggle I've been feeling for some time now. Honestly, there's a lot I've been keeping to myself. But don't worry too much. I'll be alright! This'll be the start of that.

Anyway, I'm looking forward to continuing things on the new blog once everything is in order. There's so many ideas I want to do. So many interactions I've been excited for. I've been playing this bozo for over a decade now, and I have no intention of stopping anytime soon. Hope to see y'all there!

When i thought Netflix couldn’t get worse…they cancel Shadow and Bone AND the Six of Crows spin off

[supmaww]

helppp the fumes… was just cleaning up my art project from yesterday and only just noticed the giant warning label all over the grout that says to absolutely not use it in an enclosed space… I used it in my basement where there is absolutely no airflow right next to my bed even. I’ve had a killer headache all day for seemingly no reason but I have a guess as to what may have caused it

[hit-with-rock]
