#*strikethrough* ME

I’d be more patriotic if:

This were the secretary of war

This were the general of the army

And this was the president

And can you imagine if they were all fucking

I think there's got to be like a Robin Hood corollary to any pro-pirating stance in that if/when you can afford to, spend the money to buy from small/local/independent art.

Some big top 100 musician/major studio whatever doesn't need your money, but the $10 on Bandcamp for the local band you saw at the bar's new album or your friend's soaps on Etsy or that indie movie playing at the cinema when it comes out on DVD or literally almost any author's book that's not like already an NYT Bestseller or community theater producing new works by living artists. It really can make a difference to those people.

OOML art, 4 years apart (2025 vs 2021)

aka the real secret to Art Improvement is to just be really, really obsessed with a rarepair that you never stop drawing actually

[wolves-in-the-world]

if anyone needs a little softness post-werefic please know that:

1) wolfeliot starts out kind of prickly and dignified around the team. spending any time with them in wolf form just hanging out pretending to nap is a vulnerability and a mark of progress; accepting physical affection or accessories takes longer.

the first time, parker doesn't exactly ask. she plonks herself down beside him, doggie bandana in hand, and sophie's going "parker I don't think- that might not be-" and eliot's grumbling a little growl under his breath but, ultimately, not doing a single thing to stop her.

he looks very handsome.

2) so werequinn is incredibly tempting for so many reasons right? it feels wrong to me personally to give just one of them this to deal with, animal hangouts would be peak cuteness, @darkfinch has very much sold me on the benefits and contributed at least half of the details-

and there are, in fact, backstory possibilities that make up for the fact that this is meant to be a Rare Curse and Difficult To Handle.

but for cuteness' sake let me just say that werequinn is a very dumb big cat who he insists on treating as a seperate creature with his own shit going on. he enjoys long walks on the beach long nighttime adventures with his best buddy, biting people as a sign of affection, biting people as a sign of malice, and making a nuisance of himself when eliot's cooking.

and he answers only to Mr Paws.

You have any "normal" stuff? just plain old animals and humans?

Nope! Sure do!

Perfectly "normal" human, nothing interesting here.

See, I have range!

Btw guys I did some digging on how to back up your blog, here's the deets:

If you have Xkit (which you should, it's a life saver!!) They have an option called Mirror Posts:

Turning this on means when you click the three dots at the top right of a post you've made you get this option:

Clicking to mirror the post gives you this:

Choosing WayBackMachine offers this page:

So you just click save and the waybackmachine then captures a screencap of your post and saves it. If you don't have an account then so long as you have the url for the post you'll always be able to find it there (or you can just put in the url to your tumblr but finding specific posts becomes more difficult then).

However if you DO have a waybackmachine account it'll store all of your saved posts into the account and you can access them there.

Choosing archivetoday gives you this:

There's a button at the top that says 'all snapshots from host apoptoses.tumblr.com' and you can then download them as a zip.

SO. This is a couple ways you can back up your original posts should something awful happen and your blog get terminated.

But I really, really encourage writers and artist to make a multi-chapter post on ao3 where they can dump all their short fics and quick sketches- truly no post is too small or too 'rough' to not save, because for someone out there that is their favorite fic or art of all time! And you deserve to have a portfolio of your hard work!

Back up your stuff, don't let us continue to live in a digital dark age where great posts get lost forever due to websites collapsing or making garbage choices ♥

Leaving out strikethrough on purpose, as we’re looking more at seeing/using these when writing and reading, where it either wouldn’t be used or would be anti-emphasis. However there is the rather fun sarcastic use of it in social conversations or maybe that’s just me

Please reblog for sample size and to share your reasoning for your choice or the world may never know

this was supposed to be a celebration of me finishing the show but i forgot to post it, so i present... a gen kill playlist

you done too much, been too unkind

so rally up the demons of your soul

all the things you wanna kill will give you spite

the boy who fell into the sky, had no one there to watch him cry

tell me what i'm supposed to think, when the bullets start to pour, lie about some greater good, when you ship me off to war

and when we go don't blame us, we'll let the fires just bathe us, you made us oh so famous, we'll never let you go

we at war, we don't know what for, they made up a reason behind closed doors

maybe they would listen to me one time, if i died on the frontline, as a martyr in the bloodline, instead i'm singing in the sunshine

they will blame us, crucify and shame us

they all followed me down here, to an alleys dirty end, oh i had nothing to give them, i just thought they were my friends

what does your sworn enemy regret?

i don't believe in anything, they tell me's set in stone, they say that we're together, but i'm sat here on my own, in the company of strangers, this trigger happy scene, i see them now and then, still spitting out those lies, strange it doesn't bother me, i've got my own disguise

and i hope for your sake that you're on our side

look what you've done to yourself, yeah, you've lost the will to do what's right again

no one gives two fucks about the values i would kill for, give them something to die for, give me something to die for / no one's too perturbed about the things i would live for, give me something to try for, give me something to try for

and i saw god cry in the reflection of my enemies

is there any good inside of me? losing sense of my morality, she's getting thirsty, my killer curiosity, my boredom with my own reality

and they sacrifice their lives and they're lying about those odds

i'm young and i'm hopeless, i'm lost and i know this, i'm going nowhere fast, that's what they say

and if i make it through today, will tomorrow be the same?

we lost this game so many times before

i'm just here flying off the deep end, i'm just here to become the best yet, i'm just here for the psych assessment

i'm just here for the fall, we've gone way too fast for way too long

and through it all how could you cry for me?

decide my past, define my life, don't ask questions, 'cause i don't know why

and there's nothing wrong with me, this is how i'm supposed to be, in a land of make believe, that don't believe in me

well, they encourage your complete cooperation, send you roses when they think you need to smile, i can't control myself because i don't know how, and they love me for it, honestly, i'll be here for a while / i gave you blood, blood, gallons of the stuff, i gave you all that you can drink, and it has never been enough, i gave you blood, blood, blood, i'm the kind of human wreckage that you love

I'm trying to come up with a flirt that has "chemommy" in it but when I search for "how to flirt with a chemo patient" all I get is horoscope stuff about flirting with Cancers, so idk, uh....show me what you can do with that IV line, chemommy 🍆

Bwahahahahaha that's hilariously awful how search results failed you.

My dream has come true!!! I am chemommy!!! Ooh lala, are you stage 4, because you're taking over everything inside me.

I went through cancer I can say whatever I want rotflh

Not a joke flirtation, but I've always wanted to take one of my prosthetic tits and throw them at someone when they're being a boob. Geddit? Geddit? [nudges hard and winks at everyone]
