Idk if yall saw this, but Magic The Gatering YouTuber Tolarian Community College just raised 50,000 dollars for trans lifeline in like 4 hours, and that number is still going up really fast.

This is such an incredible show of support from the TCG community, and it’s especially nice to see considering that so many of us (transgender people) are a part of various TCG communities.

Whoever decided this is a good idea, what is wrong with you

[altschmerzes]

i truly am in a delicate trap of my own making at the moment huh (writing two different very very long fics (history rhymes and drive the wedge) that take place over the course of Several Months and have important timeline-based escalations involved where i have to actually figure out what is happening and when and anchor the progression of events to how long it's been since the Central SituationTM started)

summary:

“And you’re what?” Michael asks, before giving Calum a once-over. “Logistics, I bet.” Obviously Michael hadn’t been tuned into his surroundings when Calum had given his brief introduction. “Yeah.” “Mike, I literally told you about Calum,” says Alex. “Did you?” Michael asks. Understanding dawns on his face. “Oh, you’re Calum, Alex’s roommate.”

(Or: summer camp AU, but make it support staff.)

Well. Here it is. The big ensemble summer camp fic I've been writing for over three years. This is the longest fic I have ever written. It is my passion project and my beloved child. Enjoy.

Rules: you will be given a word. then you share one sentence/excerpt from your wip(s) that starts with each letter of your word. I'm just going to pull from my one big wip. My word is WEIRD, hell yeah.

W - When his mother faced him once again, she was cradling a long object. It was wrapped in layers of an indigo shroud with great care, and secured with fine bands. Without a word, she brought it over to the bench and sat next to Yusuf once again, balancing the mysterious object over her lap.

“What I hold in my hands is very important to me and my people,” she began, letting each word linger, deliberate and slow.

E - “Ever wonder, boy, where all that money is going? Certainly not to your family, by the look of the rags you come here in. I have to keep you here in the back with the shutters closed lest a client smell you and tell the whole town I’m being haunted by a wicked spirit.”

Nicolo did say then, “Perhaps we should invest in some incense.”

I - It had to have been him. Those pale eyes — that beak! — were unmistakable. So stunned Yusuf was, he did not stop to wonder how and why his old friend was even in Mahdia.

R - Rolled up in Nicolo’s tunic was a ginger root. He’d dug it up near their house, as once Ceo’s medicine would run out, they would have him chew on the root to calm his body. One did not have to pay money to dig up a root, so long as one did not get caught.

D - Dawn light came with the call to prayer, and he rose from his slump. Nicolo had slept in the hall, his possessions held closely to his chest and caged in by his folded legs. He could not go back into the room. He would not.

Tagging @flightsofwonder, @materassassino, and @raedear. Your word is PLUMB.

Chapter 18 of Nothing Ventured has been posted and it's a rough one again, y'all. Chapter warnings for restrictive/disordered eating (and the implication that this is a pattern) and past child abuse. Featuring misplaced guilt, childhood trauma, and "you're a good dad."
