In the wake of the TikTok ban and revival as a mouthpiece for fascist propaganda, as well as the downfall of Twitter and Facebook/Facebook-owned platforms to the same evils, I think now is a better time than ever to say LEARN HTML!!! FREE YOURSELVES FROM THE SHACKLES OF MAJOR SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORMS AND EMBRACE THE INDIE WEB!!!

You can host a website on Neocities for free as long as it's under 1GB (which is a LOT more than it sounds like let me tell you) but if that's not enough you can get 50GB of space (and a variety of other perks) for only $5 a month.

And if you can't/don't want to pay for the extra space, sites like File Garden and Catbox let you host files for free that you can easily link into NeoCities pages (I do this to host videos on mine!) (It also lets you share files NeoCities wouldn't let you upload for free anyways, this is how I upload the .zip files for my 3DS themes on my site.)

Don't know how to write HTML/CSS? No problem. W3schools is an invaluable resource with free lessons on HTML, CSS, JavaScript, PHP, and a whole slew of other programming languages, both for web development and otherwise.

Want a more traditional social media experience? SpaceHey is a platform that mimics the experience of 2000s MySpace

Struggling to find independent web pages that cater to your interests via major search engines? I've got you covered. Marginalia and Wiby are search engines that specifically prioritize non-commercial content. Marginalia also has filters that let you search for more specific categories of website, like wikis, blogs, academia, forums, and vintage sites.

Maybe you wanna log off the modern internet landscape altogether and step back into the pre-social media web altogether, well, Protoweb lets you do just that. It's a proxy service for older browsers (or really just any browser that supports HTTP, but that's mostly old browsers now anyways) that lets you visit restored snapshots of vintage websites.

Protoweb has a lot of Geocities content archived, but if you're interested in that you can find even more old Geocities sites over on the Geocities Gallery

And really this is just general tip-of-the-iceberg stuff. If you dig a little deeper you can find loads more interesting stuff out there. The internet doesn't have to be a miserable place full of nothing but doomposting and targeted ads. The first step to making it less miserable is for YOU, yes YOU, to quit spending all your time on it looking at the handful of miserable websites big tech wants you to spend all your time on.

When they come to do a live action reboot of Wonder Woman they need to remember that Diana has two mothers.

[alvindraperzzz]

People are allowed to read a character however they want, and playing with aus and different interpretations is fun, but I’ve never really understood the fandom’s insistence that Cassie is comphet because it’s so antithetical to how I read her. 

You think Cassie spent years pressuring herself to hide her real feelings and live up to some nebulous feminine ideal even as it made her miserable?

Cassie Sandsmark. Cassie, who declared herself Wonder Girl and outright asked the king of the gods for powers? The same Cassie who couldn’t keep her identity secret for five minutes at a time without blabbing to someone? Cassie, who couldn’t stand the makeover plan she came up with so she ripped the wig off and confessed the whole thing to her crush almost immediately? Cassie, who constantly puts her foot in her mouth, pushes people, and can’t leave well enough alone because she’s so focused on what she thinks is right?

The reason the “Cassie is comphet” headcanon never made sense to me is because it just doesn’t fit her canon character. She's headstrong, sincere, and generally isn’t afraid to go after what she wants. She can’t help but be herself, and any attempt to purposely be something or someone she isn’t doesn’t last long.

Also…. do you really believe Cassie Sandsmark, protege of Diana of Themyscira and honorary Amazon, thinks she has to pretend to be straight? Come on now.

A little sketch before I start something big

[bayetea]

I don't like the judo flip in moa as much as the next guy but in my eyes it's largely the result of rick not taking female violence half as seriously as male violence (a result of viewing women as weaker and inferior to men such that their acts of violence don't need to be taken as seriously) and not so much anything about annabeth herself. like I do genuinely feel that annabeth is a complex heroine and definitely one of the better ones in the realm of ya action-adventure fiction produced in the past 25 years but she is still a girl being written by a man and all I'm saying is that her writing clearly reflects that sometimes (more in tags)

'The Fall Guy' (2024) film

-watched 1/7/2025- 3 [1/4] stars- on Amazon Prime

[castielsprostate]

before i go to bed (read fanfic until 2am) i do want to level and say that today? today could've been MUCH worse. alt-right parties made massive gains, yes, and nazism is alive and well apparently, but the left is still there and is still a majority in a lot of countries. we will not stop, we will not back down. this fight is a draw, but the war will be won in favour of human rights and the planet.

to everyone that voted from the 6th until today: good fucking job! YOU are what keeps this world turning. YOU are the backbone of a functioning, accepting, society. YOU did your part. get some rest, get a little treat, and realise that you did good.

we WILL get through this. we WILL make this place better for our children, our grandchildren, and everything else that is yet to come. fuck the nazis, fuck the alt-right.

let's keep going 💪 despair is so easy, and hope is so incredibly hard. BUT DO WE LOVE TO STAY HARD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"Why does fandom have to make everything gay" maybe fandom spaces turning characters LGBT+ is a sign that we need more representation, as mostly teens who are trying to figure themselves out are doing this, but yeah sure, make fun of the teens that are trying to have fun and identify with characters more and not the large companies who are so hell-bent on not having any queer representation in there shows

DVD commentary about half footJason. He's such a little guy but God I love him.

Anything, brujay/royjay/jaydick, please tell me more about his relationships.

Ahhh Jaysun (half-foot Jason) my incredibly unwell little guy. For those who don't know, I have two fics about a dcu and dungeon meshi fusion (shameless self plug). There's a lot of words so...whoops lol.

So the thing about the Dungeon Meshi universe, is that when you put in dc, the subtext involving classism, racism and such that the author's don't think about/unwittingly put in becomes straight text. And in that it can lead to a lot of unfortunate implications becoming very...straight up there. And I'll openly admit that I'm pretty biased against Bruce so it won't be kind to him.

Jaysun (Jay + Sun to fit with the half-foot naming convention), was created when I started looking more into the lore of Dungeon Meshi. With half-foots known as thieves, liars, and shady overall and the general populace not even thinking twice about exploiting them or seeing them as the bottom of the hierarchy, it reads a lot like how dc makes heroes view criminals and poverty (if they aren't infantalizing the poor which is also a thing that the setting does to half-foots). And unlike "demi-humans" they're part of overall mainstream society instead of something separate (and not considered human). Which to me felt like a perfect fit for Jason both as Robin and as an adult because it's a life that Bruce wouldn't even be able to fathom. Alongside that, with a lower life expectancy, Bruce's patronizing attitude (and that of everyone else) is only aggravated and increased towards Jaysun.

Meanwhile Bruce, to me, has to be in a position of privilege and wealth for his whole thing to work. A lot of his flaws and skills comes from that disconnect. And in Dungeon Meshi, the most privileged are Elves and Dwarves. And for Bruce I chose the latter as it fits more in his image of masculinity as well as his focus on technology and combat (and Bruce with magic is just, why are you even using Bruce at that point when his whole shtick is baseline human fighting crime/things way above his weight class). Add into that half-foor culture idolizing (or at least seeing as something to strive for) dwarves and their culture, it just made for a really messy situation when Bruce adopts Jaysun.

But the thing is, Jaysun being adopted at 12 going on 13 is different than Jason being adopted at that age because a half-foot is considered a full adult by age 14 and even then we see people under that age doing things we'd connect to "adulthood" (i.e. Chilchuck was a father of two by the time he was fourteen). It leads to a messy situation where Jaysun already feels and considers himself an adult (which Jason does in the comics as well, and is something Bruce straight up says to Gordon because of Jason's experiences despite the guy barely being a teenager). This leads to a Mia-esque situation where Jaysun falls for Bruce in a romantic and sexual sense since he is, by all accounts, soon an adult (he still dies at the same age)(Mia did have short lived crushes on Ollie and later Connor and Roy and it is something normal that happens to older foster kids. Repeat, this is normal and those feelings later morph into something different in most cases.) This is something that Bruce never even considers about because dwarves aren't adults until they're 40 (which means to Bruce even Dick who is an adult man by tall-men standards, is still a kid and this was a major wedge between them as Bruce simply didn't internalize the differences between them).

It also leads to major imposter syndrome in Jaysun as he sees himself as a replacement for Dick (which Jason also does), but in this case it's one who's even easier to control and treat like a pet. Is he right? Only sorta. Bruce probably doesn't mean to do so, but it's in the same way Senshi and Marcille still haven't understood the way they treat their friends (see: Marcille and Falin).

A load of stuff happens between Jaysun's death and him leaving Gotham for Melini (for reasons I still gotta write about 😅)

For relationships:

Jaysun -> Roy: Roy is probably the person Jaysun trusts the most. Roy, as someone from the Western Continent, has had his fair share of experiences close to Jaysun's involving the perception against him as well as experiences being dropped by loved ones even if they have, for the most part, reconciled. Roy is one of the five (him, Kori, Bizarro, Artemis, Talia) people that knows Jaysun's ability to use magic despite his race's infamous lack of skill and capability with it. He doesn't know the reason WHY, but he knows when to push and when not to. Jaysun and Roy are regulars in dungeon parties that the other leads or are a part of. Jaysun meanwhile is someone who will have to be torn apart from Roy because they both have attachment issues worse than Jaysun's self image, self harm, and fear of abandonment issues (which Roy does share). Most of these will take a lot of work to handle but considering Jaysun's stuck on light to no work for the next few months (the actual canon dungeon meshi story), I have faith in them.

Jaysun -> Dick: So so so so many Bruce issues holy shit. As much as Dick and Jaysun don't want to admit it, both have a load of similar experiences as not being seen as a person with agency caused by being raised by a long lived race when both of them are short lived ones (Dick being a tall-man). This is something that's touched upon with Kabru in Dungeon Meshi, but his foster mother was different beast from Bruce though both have absolutely caused issues in their kids. At the same time Jaysun having been taken in second, resents Dick for having a closer place to Bruce while Jaysun feels like he was more of a pet than a son (both part of the family but not equal in it). Meanwhile Dick dislikes Jaysun's overall demeanor and holds what he did in Gotham against him (which, fair) even if in the end both of them are in the same place (away from Bruce, not thought of completely as people by the man they devoted a large chunk of their lives to (most of his life in Dick's case as at 30 he's reached the halfway point for tall-men), and floundering to find footing despite their supports networks (Dick was part of a dungeoneering group called the Titans which are about as close as you can get to celebrity status for their kind of work). Also unlike Jaysun, Dick hasn't accepted his own attraction to Bruce who despite the over twenty years he's known Dick, has changed little while Dick has become a man grown. They had sex once in the dungeon that was ill-advised and hurt both of them and probably have it a few more times specifically for those reasons until they start seeing one another on more equal terms (if that ever happens). Tldr; the spectre of Bruce haunts them.

Warning: Major character death with a happy ending (depending on how you view it) ❤

Thinking about old man Rhett who doesn't know what to do when your time finally comes.

Who stands quietly at your funeral and doesn't remember how to speak because he'd always selfishly hoped that he'd be the first to go because he doesn't know how to live a life without you. This old house he built for you hurts him to stand in, but it hurts him even more to leave.

Thinking about old man Rhett who always hated cleaning, meticulously keeping your things exactly how you left them. He keeps the same bedspread and keeps repairing the bedside lamp, even though there are identical ones at the store. Dusts your photos and pours your drink into your mug every morning, but he never washes your clothes because they still smell like you.

Old man Rhett who wakes up one day to a knock at his door; some eighteen-something kid whose father still tells the tale of the time Rhett Abbott won the rodeo with a dislocated shoulder. A kid raised in a middle-of-nowhere ranching family who has dreamed of becoming a successful bull rider since he was small. And Rhett hasn't touched the sport in years, but he can hear you gently telling him that this could be good for both of them, and he recognizes this story all too well.

Thinking about old man Rhett who moves your urn around throughout the day. Carrying you up to the kitchen in the mornings, leaving you to rest in the sunroom throughout the evenings, and placing you on your favorite shelf in the bedroom when night falls. He talks to you like you can still hear him, and it's alright that you cant respond. He already knows what you'd say.

Old man Rhett who carries your wedding ring on a necklace and toys with the gem while he watches this bright-eyed apprentice of his climb onto the back of a bull. They've gotten bigger since Rhett last rode them. Stronger, meaner, but this kid has a passion bigger than all of that. He holds on for four seconds. Doesn't score very high, but it's ten points and one second more than last time.

Old man Rhett who can always be found sitting at your old favorite spot. Amongst trees who have seen your first date and your last and have heard the deepest of conversations. He talks to you here, too.

Thinking about old man Rhett who doesn't talk much, but he'll talk the ear off anyone who asks about you. His apprentice knows so much about you that he feels like he's met you a million times over. His apprentice, whose peers jokingly tell him that old Rhett has gone off the deep end because he talks to a dead lover and mutters things under his breath that doesn't make sense.

Thinking about old man Rhett who thinks back on old times, both the good and bad, when his apprentice quietly asks what he should do about the girl he's too shy to ask on a date. And he smiles when he sees that kid awkwardly kick the dirt when he works up the nerve because he did that too when he asked you way back when.

Thinking about old man Rhett who never really believed in an afterlife until he met you, and he's anything but religious, but he just knows he'll see you again someday.

Thinking about old man Rhett who finds himself standing at the Amelia County rodeo finals, cheering on his apprentice the same way you once cheered for him. It's the most he's yelled since that argument after the pipes burst and flooded the living room, and he thinks he can hear you yelling alongside him, too.

Thinking about old man Rhett who smiles when people ask if he misses you. "What do you mean? They're right here with me," and he knows they think he's gone off the deep end. Maybe he has. He doesn't care; he feels you there with him everywhere he goes.

Thinking about old man Rhett who travels a couple hundred miles just to see his apprentice debut in the PBR and has to keep the kid's girlfriend from climbing over the fence when he dislocates his wrist in the fall. Finds her a stress ball to squeeze the hell out of because that's what you always did when he rode.

Thinking about old man Rhett who looks up at the sky that night and quietly understands that its time.

Thinking about old man Rhett's apprentice, who understands when Rhett gifts him that old, worn-out buckle he won all those years ago.

Thinking about old man Rhett, who drives through the night, parking his truck lazily in the driveway in the fashion you always scolded him for because it blocked the entrance to the garage. He carries you up to that old spot and sits counting the stars with you.

Thinking about old man Rhett's apprentice, who stumbles into town and finds his old mentor in his resting place. His apprentice who puts your urn in a safe place in his home, and soon, puts Rhett right next to you.

Thinking about old man Rhett's apprentice who keeps you both side by side until the date of your anniversary rolls around. He gets up bright and early and releases you both in your favorite place, with a fumbled goodbye and a wetness in his eyes that wasn't there before. Rhett never asked him to do it, but some things don't need to be spoken to be understood.

Thinking about old man Rhett who finds himself walking down a familiar driveway. Who feels the ache in his bones fade away and watches the wrinkles in his hands smoothen back to a youthful, forever strong muscle.

Thinking about Rhett who realizes where he is and what he's seeing in the distance.

Thinking about Rhett who runs for the first time in years, yelling your name as he tears down the dirt driveway.

Thinking about Rhett's four long-gone horses, who appear from behind and run alongside him. Singing as the door to that house he built opens wide, and you step out onto the front porch.

Thinking about Rhett who hops clean over the railing to get to you faster, and accidentally knocks you down as he hurtles into you.

Thinking about Rhett who smiles when you welcome him home, one last time.

Okay but Ares and Poseidon are Like That despite their mythic history because our views of their respective domains have vastly shifted since ancient times, right?
