Help Prevent Two Disabled Trans Women From Losing Their Car

We're still relying on donations to keep us afloat right now. They've nearly stopped completely despite people still reblogging our post, and it's all we have at the moment to keep our only source of transportation for the household. My girlfriend and I are stuck here until I can heal up and find a job or we can find a way of saving up for an RV to get the hell out dodge before then and leave this all behind us. I'll hopefully be seeing a nerve specialist sooner rather than later to have some of the nerves ablated in my abdomen to deal with my constant pain since having hernia surgery and my left testicle removed. With everything going on in the household, the money that's been donated to us has been having to go our car note in full every month, as my parents can't afford to pay for anything more than they already are as they tend to waste money going out shopping and buying shit they don't need on a consistent basis while the problems keep piling up. We're still living in a run down shed with our cat, a former stray, with no insulation, poorly installed electricity and no running water along with the water in the house not being on right now. In the coming months, we're expecting for there to be more rain fall and for it to get hotter as summer approaches. Recently it rained all day long and we were barely able to keep the shed from flooding, and despite our efforts, things still ended up getting ruined from the rainwater that flooded in. We're in a desperate situation right now and anything that you can donate genuinely helps us in the long run to getting out of here sometime hopefully soon. I appreciate all those who have been able to help us out so far and I'm sorry that we're having to continue to e-beg like this but we're not sure what else there is that we can do right now. We can't afford to lose our only source of transportation in a situation like this, even just $1 helps. Thank you for taking the time to read, even if you can't donate, sharing helps us as well.

Kindly take a break from scrolling to read this, it's important.

Take your time to grieve and come to terms with the election results, but once you've done that, it's time to get to work. We have two months. And a lot to do in that time. We have to prepare, to be ready.

Be careful about what you post or say online. Anything potentially incriminating should be avoided. Threatening language, even if clearly a joke, can be used against you.

Know someone who's trans? Someone who's had an abortion? Someone who's LGBTQIA+? Someone who's an immigrant? Someone who attends protests? Someone who's disabled? Someone who might in any way be at risk due to laws being put into place? No you don't.

Move away from social media platforms and browsers that require you to use your real identity or input a large amount of personal information. Now's a good time to find alternate means of communicating online. Tails, Element, Tor, Mastodon, Firefox, and Lemmy are all decent options.

Find a community. Someone you can talk to, either online or in real life, that you'll have reliable contact with. We need to try and create a network, but one that's as anonymous as possible.

Start scrubbing your trail as much as possible. Get rid of old accounts that can still be traced to you but are no longer used, delete personal data off the internet. There are websites out there that will freely remove your data from the internet, but be careful about which one you use, make sure it's safe and legitimate first.

Change any usernames that you can that contain any personal information. Names, birthdays, anything.

Plan B has a four year shelf life. Stock up, but don't take more than you you'll need. We don't want a COVID repeat where everyone buys an excessive amount of things and leaves none for everybody else.

There are doctors that will sterilize you, if that's the way you want to go.

Stop using online period trackers right now. Delete all data from it if possible first, then delete the app itself. If you must, write it down, but in a subtle manner and on something you keep at home. Don't label it, just put the dates. If you're really worried, discard older records and only keep the most recent few, and label the dates as other random events, like "go to mall" or "chicken salad for dinner this night"

Get your vaccines now.

Save money.

Archive. We have to start collecting records, media, data, books, and articles now. On racism, on fascism, on homophobia, on gender, on self-reliance, on survival, on safe travels routes, on equality, on justice, on anything that may be useful and/or censored soon. We can't let them erase it.

Collect those online resources. Bookmark them, copy files into your storage, Screenshot pages. Create a decentralized library where everyone is working to be part of a whole, storing what they can individually and sharing it between one another. Again, be careful about doing this.

Second-hand bookstores are your best friend. Books are usually very cheap in them, and they often have a decent stock. See what you can find.

When buying ANYTHING I have mentioned above, or anything else that maybe put you in danger, try to use cash to reduce your spending trail.

Check your car information online, many newer models can be remotely tracked.

Turn your phone completely off if you may be at risk due to your location and current activities. Turning off your GPS also helps.

Take note of where you are. Who are your friends? Who's a safe person? Where can you go besides your own home that you know you'll be safe? Establish these connections now.

Who around you is not safe? Who and where do you need to avoid? Do you need to move? If you cannot afford moving but need to, there are fundraisers that can help you. If even that is not an option, at least try to make sure your home is secure. Have someone who can help you. Have a fallback safe place.

And finally, I want anyone with resources to put them in the replies. Flood it with useful links, information, tips, anything. We're in this together. Do not panic. Organize.

EDIT: Please be civil in the replies.

Speaking as someone who has seen a both a psychiatrist and neuropsychiatrist and is officially diagnosed with ASD (among other things), you don't speak for all of us. Stop using autism as an excuse for your benefit, and stop giving it a bad name on the internet. If you'd be so kind, point out to me where Saint or Rosie explicitly mention that Winndy wasn't welcome in the server for having autism. Show me where they (or anyone on the moderation team) are being ableist and attacking Winndy for being autistic. Stop infantilizing and summarizing all of Winndy's actions as just "having autism", and let them own up to their actions. It's disgusting.

I get that Winndy is passionate about their characters which often leads to them talking over others because of their autism. I'm like that too when it comes to my specific interests. But what I don't get is how this has anything to do with ignoring major warnings given by a moderator and not heeding their advice, the guidelines, or everyone's wishes to keep things private. You know, the entire point of this post? It's clear that Winndy is upset about how the moderators dealt with the situation (coming to Winndy at the wrong time and dismissing their feelings), not because they were attacking Winndy for something they couldn't control.

It's hypocritical that you'll berate Saint for disregarding Winndy's vulnerable state, but when the same thing happens to them, you see it as Saint being apathetic. Why don't you take your own advice and put yourself in Saint's shoes? If you do, you'll notice that it's the exact same position as Winndy. They lost someone close to them and had their vulnerable state completely ignored and dismissed. The only difference is that Winndy didn't even bother to ask if they needed space or if they were in a place where they could deal with their concerns. From what I can see, they simply moved on and ignored their feelings while prioritizing their own. Again, stop excusing and infantilizing Winndy's actions and let them own up to it. Or at the very least, stop being so hypocritical.

You say this should be handled privately with just Winndy and the moderators, and I agree. You have no place in this, much like me. We shouldn't be giving our opinions on a matter that, in fullness, doesn't concern us in any way. But if you want to make assumptions and throw false accusations, at least talk to someone on the moderation team first. Hell, even contact Saint instead of formulating your opinions based on a one-sided viewpoint. I'm only adding to your message because you keep using autism as an excuse, and it's disgusting given the current negative stigma we have placed on us by neurotypical people. Show your support by creating a community where Winndy can feel accepted, not by throwing accusations and claims against people you have no relations or context on whatsoever.

Take your own advice. You do better.

Winndy, if you read this, I want you to know that watching you handle this entire situation from your Krow blog has been a deeply upsetting experience. I've been a fan of your yandere for almost a year now, and seeing how you shamelessly vague the 14 Days With You blog, make callout posts with the intention of slandering others, allow your friends to spread misinformation and negativity, and completely dismiss the feelings of others is what finally made realize that I no longer want to support you. Even from the screenshots you've provided from the moderator, I can see that they only had good intentions towards you. When they gave you space you chose to ignore it and continued to argue and belittle them. Instead of considering the comfort of others in the 14dwy server, you blamed it all on autism and completely disregarded how they might be feeling whenever you treat them like that (have you once considered that maybe they might be autistic too?). Instead of simply removing (what I assume was originally an inside joke about) the chicken nugget meme from Krow's lore, you turned it into some kind of immature game to toy with your fans. This has all left a bad taste in my mouth and I can no longer enjoy Krow for what he's worth, especially now that I know that his creator likes to act this way. For the sake of everyone else who still follows you, I hope that you can do better in the future and learn from your actions. I've already unfollowed you here and I'll be doing the same from @toomanynotifsivemoved once I remember my password. If it comes down to it, I may eventually block you as I want to remain in the indie vn community but I don't want to see posts from someone who uses autism as a scapegoat.

That's all I have to say.

I did not wish to make this, I do not wish to bring bad light to others, so I am doing everything I can in this statement to keep it as vague as possible to grant others the same privacy I should have. But because my privacy was not respected I have no choice but to come forward with this.

If you know what I am talking about, then this is my side of things. If you don't know what I am talking about, then please move on.

(Also to note, I realize what day I am posting this on. This is absolutely NOT a joke.)

To preface this. My dad died suddenly Feb 26th. I cannot begin to detail what it feels like to lose him, after I've lost many others, to try and handle my emotions and grief while also handling the logistics of his belongings and estate, all this while having to write this on top of it. If I come across as intense, this is why. 

I was in a discord server when it first opened. I dedicated a lot of time, energy, art and passion to it. I was even a mod at one point but stepped down due to my own reasons. 

While there, we had an anonymous survey posted to gather information from the community about the server, what we could do to improve, what was liked and so on. Instead, some used it as a means to anonymously complain about members. I was a target of these complaints. 

A quick note. This server was made within a community that has suffered MANY hardships due to anons. Keep this in mind.

One of the rules is that if you have a personal grievance with another member, to try to resolve it through DMs before coming to a mod or to even send in a ticket.

I must be clear; I was NEVER DMed by anyone how I made them uncomfortable. Not once. Nor were these complaints directly messaged to the mods. This was all through the survey (I will touch up more on this later).

I and other staff/mods that used to be on the team suggested we remove the anonymity. It's too risky for it to be abused, because as noted earlier, this community has suffered a lot through abuse from anons. This suggestion was ignored.

Now, I suppose I should say what the complaints were about. I was told I made others uncomfortable due to, and I am paraphrasing here; "talking over others, redirecting conversations back to myself and my ocs, and making too many jokes and insults about characters."

I will also say. I am autistic. What was mentioned are signs of someone with autism. My dad was autistic. I do not bring this up to deflect or excuse anything, merely to give further context.

I want to explain a bit of my process when I interact with others, in this case especially pertaining to an online space.

When I am talking with someone, anyone, I try to be as inclusive and welcoming as I can be. Saying hello, how they’re doing, that sort of thing. But a conversation is a two way street. If I don’t get a reply or any sort of means to keep the conversation going, I move on. That’s just… how talking goes. I can get very passionate in talking to folks, especially friends and things in line with my interests. It’s hard for me to notice if folks are uncomfortable in person, online it is impossible to tell. I need people to tell me directly if I am doing something uncomfortable and what it is, and if I can fix it.

My process for ocs is this: I see someone talking about their oc, they say something that reminds me of one of mine, then I share my oc. This is not to direct the conversation to me, but to share in it, it is in conjunction. I want to learn more of yours and I do that best by sharing mine. I cannot know if this isn't what you want if I am not told. And I wasn't.

I like to make jokes about characters, analyze them, critique them. I try to do this in a way that makes it clear this isn't an insult to those who like the character(s). But again, I need to be told directly by someone if I need to stop or tone it down. I would only be told sparingly by folks, and when I would, of course I'd stop, do my best to tone it down. But again, I was rarely told directly by people.

What is being described as my crimes are simply the experience of being autistic.

I cannot control it. I cannot stop it. I try to be as inclusive, warm and welcoming to all I come across. You do not HAVE to like me. But if you don't, just ignore me. You HAVE to learn to ignore people who you just… don't like. You have to learn to ignore pet peeves or to reasonably talk to the person. That's life.

So, when I received the above message, I was furious. I was at my dad’s apartment, cleaning out his stuff, and dealing with some harrowing emotions when I got this. I responded that getting this was extremely poor timing and yes, I was angry. But the one who sent this KNEW my dad died. They had seen me post about it, they acknowledged it, and still decided to message me. Who wouldn’t be angry?

Because of what I had been messaged, and the timing, I had decided to go to the owner of the server. I did not feel like it was appropriate for a mod, any mod, to message me about something that is a personal issue that folks should have messaged me themselves (and again, it is listed in the rules that things SHOULD be talked out privately between members before a mod gets involved), in a time that has been hell on earth for me.

I explained to the server owner what all happened with my feelings on the matter. I said that regardless, I would leave the server, because this was something that no one, absolutely no one, should experience. I requested for anything I contributed to the server to be removed, for I no longer felt comfortable for folks to use my art who could be the very same ones pettily using an anonymous survey to speak ill of me. So I sent my message, waited, and got a response.

I do not have anything against the server owner, but there are a few things that I must address with their response as well, because some are factually incorrect. There is full admittance to the complaints received through the anonymous survey, most recently at that. This goes counter to the rules stated that members should resolve private disputes amongst themselves first. (Again please note the screenshots of the rules.)

While perhaps not all of the mods knew of my dad’s passing, but enough DID that they should have known better. I posted briefly in the server in a slow thread so it could be better seen by people, including the mods. I had posted on tumblr as well. But the claim is no one saw it. 

Again. This is just not true. Look to the above screenshots.

I do not have a screenshot of when I had sent the message initially in the server of my dad’s passing (I apologize for this), but the point being is that people knew. Another member messaged me in DMs to give their condolences. While I am and have been open about his passing, I also tried my best to not talk too much about it in the server as to bring down the mood, and I sought out the server and talked there as a source of comfort. Saying this was not clear to anyone, is false.

Now, I am sorry that I made people uncomfortable, it was never my intention to, and I will take fault in that. That isn’t what I mean to address in all this. The issue is; if people were uncomfortable, they needed to follow the rules and come to me DIRECTLY stating such, NOT give these complaints through an anonymous survey. And that I should NOT have been told during such an awful period. How can I take this at face value when I am not offered the same?

I wish to point out as well, why I kept bringing up the anonymous survey, and to bring back a note I made earlier.

There is a great deal of falsehood in using an anonymous survey to gather information, when this community has experienced a lot of hardship from anons. I have seen many people torn down and even chased out of this community and others because of people hiding behind anon. Creators, fans, and yes members, mods and even the server owner have all been victim to negativity from anons. 

Now, I also must bring attention to this.

This is a screenshot I was sent of another mod posting, after I left. This is ABSOLUTELY NOT OKAY. This is why I feel the need to make this statement. Giving details like this is completely unnecessary, and with this said after I left is unacceptable.

I am sorry to be redundant, but I truly am sorry if I ever did make people uncomfortable. All I wanted to do was to make friends and share in the joy in creating art and characters with others. To share space in a community with something I truly found enjoyable. It’s why I’d get enthusiastic whenever OC’s were brought up and I’d share mine. I also wanted to share joy in the topic of the server, and yes some of that for me IS making jokes about characters or even giving critique.

I am not saying any of this to bad mouth or slander anyone. I say all of this to express my side of things. Someone who is grieving the loss of their dad, and so many others who came before him that are making me remember now because of his passing.

AITA for "using" a cucumber and putting it back in the fridge?

(🥒👌 to find later)

Please, I know it sounds nuts but hear me out. I feel awful and I need to know just how bad this is. Also, I intentionally left as much as possible vague as I am a minor and I do not want this to get removed for being too explicit. But the story will not make sense if I don't include certain things, please understand.

So I (16M) grew up in and currently still live in the bible belt, with extremely conservative evangelical parents. As a taste of what it's like, we have church 3 times a week, and church camp every summer. We are only allowed to access Netflix through a stupid content filter app and we can only use a restricted smart phone that is regularly checked at random by our parents. We get an hour and a half of computer usage every other day, and the internet on the computer is heavily filtered also. The only reason I have access to Tumblr and am able to post this now is because my best friend's older brother gave me his old android for my birthday a few years ago. His family is much more open minded, and I'm very close with them. I also think they have always felt a little bad for me with my family being the way they are.

I'm also gay. Obviously, my family does not know, and I intend to keep it that way. I won't go too deep into it, but it will suffice to say I struggled a lot when I was younger over this. The good thing is that in the last few years, I've been able to accept myself more and come to terms with what my own feelings about religion and faith really are. I came out to my best friend and his brother a little over a year ago, and they've been very supportive. I have yet to tell any of my other friends.

Recently, I've been trying out alcohol since my friends found a hookup. Something I have discovered is that I tend to get lewd feelings when I drink, which has nearly caused a few embarrassing moments around friends. Coincidentally, I have also been experimenting with... certain things. Being a minor, I obviously can't enter any of the adult stores around me, nor would I feel comfortable asking any of my friends to drive me there if I could. I also can't order anything online because my bank account is connected to my parents, and I don't have a shipping address I'm comfortable using for those items either. So instead, I use household objects that belong to me and can be sanitized easily. You might see where this is going.

Yesterday evening, I came home from best friend's house with a full bottle of wine in my backpack. We and a few other friends had already been sipping on a few beers that afternoon, and I still felt a little buzzed. After my family went to sleep, despite already having a little alcohol in my system, I proceeded to get wasted on this bottle of wine in my room. I don't have the clearest memory of all of this, but at some point, I got hungry and lewd-feeling. Went into the kitchen and, through some kind of thought process I can only imagine now, came back into my room with a cucumber. From the title of the post, you can hazard a guess as to what happened to this cucumber. Once I was done, I drukedly and quickly washed it in the bathroom sink and threw it back into the fridge. I went to sleep.

I started freaking out as soon as I woke up this morning. There were four cucumbers in the fridge, I was pretty positive at least two were going to be used for dinner tonight, and I had no idea which cucumber I did the deed with. To make matters worse, my mom was inviting the pastor of our church and his family over for dinner. I have practically no money currently, no license or vehicle, and no friends with vehicles free to pick up new cucumbers for me (and no reasonable explanation as to why I needed them to spot me for four cucumbers specifically). I also have no believable reason to give for why we shouldn't have cucumbers added in the salad mix. My mom knows I love them, and they haven't gone bad. Can't say I ate them because who the hell eats four raw cucumbers? And she'll interrogate both my brother and I until she gets a satisfying answer if I just throw them out. I didn't know what the hell to do about this and I was close to having a panic attack, so... I took a nap.

Evening came. Guests came over, dinner happened. We had porkchops with macaroni and side salads. Cucumbers were in the salad, and I along with pastor's family and my own, ate it like nothing was wrong. My parents, the pastor and his wife had an engaging conversation about politics, religion, and some mild church gossip after dinner. My little brother continued to read his book, and I had a very awkward and one-sided conversation about Young Sheldon with the pastor's daughter. Then they left. And I went to my room to mentally implode.

To say I'm horrified is a major understatement. I don't think anyone is going to get sick because I scrubbed all of the cucumbers with soap multiple times and cleaned the vegetable drawer with bleach when I woke up this morning. I guess I also don't know that the violated cucumber was one of the ones that was used for dinner tonight, but then it's only a matter of days until we have salad again, or if mom cuts one up for water. I've rattled my brain for any way I could get some new cucumbers without telling anyone the details of the event, but I have nothing. Don't even have the money, anyway. Gave up the last bit of cash I had for the damn wine yesterday, and I have $0.43 in total on my debit card.

Admittedly, there is a very small part of me that doesn't even really care if they have eaten or end up eating the damn thing. I can't stand my family. My parents are invasive, controlling and neurotic, and don't give a shit about how I'm doing in so far as it pertains to god and the church. I'm a little more sympathetic to my brother as he's been stuck in this hell with me, but at 13 he's already begun to regurgitate way more religious dogma than I ever did at his age. And I know for a fact that they would want nothing to do with me if they found out I was gay. They'd probably kick me out on the street and spit on me if I had to guess. But even still, this is only a small part of how I feel. What I did was still so gross, and no amount of animosity I have for them can change how mortifed I am. I do have at least a semblance of a conscience.

So...AITA for all of this? WIBTA if I did nothing about the other two cucumbers? Please help.

PLAYING FROM KODZUKEN'S STREAM . . . feels by calvin harris

maybe he should have expected this. 

nearly all of his posts have been overrun with questions about y/n in the comments. the comments range from simple “who was the girl in your cooking stream??” demands to extremely specific ones detailing her exact hair color, height, and voice pitch as if he’s had another mysterious girl on a stream that he’ll confuse her for.

he’s been doing his best to avoid questions about her but it could only work for so long. now there’s only questions about y/n left in the chat and he’s not sure what to do. it was easy to ignore the questions when he wasn’t doing an entire question and answer live stream but he’d promised to do one soon and he thought having shoyo with him was going to help. 

it did for the most part, and everything seemed normal but he was at a loss for words when the chat started to flood with questions about y/n.

shoyo leaned closer to read a question outloud, “‘girl from the cooking stream?’ i keep seeing that, do they not know–”

a reflex kicks in and he slaps a hand over shoyo’s mouth, pushing him away from the screen again before removing his hand trying to act normal.

the ginger looks at him, a mix of surprise and confusion on his face. “sorry,” kenma apologizes quickly, shocked by his own actions. “no, they don’t know anything about her,” he answers, trying to make it clear that he wants to keep it that way.

but the chat is already too far gone, using this one mention to run wild with theories. he can’t blame them, really. sometimes they’re a little over the top and unnecessarily pushy as if they have no sense of respect but in this scenario what else could they talk about besides a mysterious person that just entered the picture? but that didn't mean he enjoyed dealing with it.

messages transition quickly from asking what they “don’t know about” to inferring that he has a secret girlfriend. he groans, looking away from the screen. his mind working fast to try and come up with an excuse or explanation; a single mention of her and they already think he’s dating someone. he’s sure that the internet would go crazy with this information as well, fabricating stories, scandals, and everything in between.

his phone starts to buzz.

speak of the devil.

it’s a notification from twitter, some unofficial update account that’s tagged him about having a secret girlfriend.

he needs to think.

he can see shoyo eyeing him out of the corner of his eyes and he knows he’s been silent for too long on camera.

god, someone was going to find out who she was soon, right? weren’t fans supposed to be good at doxxing each other?

but how does he play off being roommates with an olympic athlete? an olympic athlete whose currently being shipped to the max with the most typical copy and paste guy everyone has the hots for?

maybe it’d be better for him to leave it to a random fan to find out who she is and announce it to the world–no, then he’ll just look bad for hiding things after so much has already come to light. it’s best for him to come up with an excuse right now. if he said she was his girlfriend maybe he could ask them to leave her alone. maybe they’d listen to him.

it sounded like his best option but he couldn’t just make that decision on his own without talking to her.

but he also couldn’t stand up and the leave the room for an unprecedented amount of time after keeping quiet for so long.

he looks at the chat one more time, seeing the word girlfriend in nearly every message. if they already think they’re dating it can’t be that bad, right?

“kenma…?” shoyo breaks him out of a trance, touching him on the back.

kenma looks at him, unsure of what to say. he feels dizzy and his mind won’t stop whirring with thoughts and worries.

“you’ve been really quiet,” shoyo lowers his voice so that only kenma can hear him, “i think you need to say something.”

he glances at the chat again. still stuff about y/n.

she’d be okay with it, right? maybe if she isn’t he’ll just tell twitter that his girlfriend broke up with him because his fans are pushy little shits and he’ll agree with her word for word and then his fans will cancel him and he can move to another country and live a happy little life working in a cat shelter–

no. he likes his life the way it is now. he’s winged everything so far but he’s grown quite a small community for himself this way. he can do this. if y/n doesn’t agree, he’ll figure something out later.

“okay,” kenma finally speaks, dropping his hands that he’s been running through his hair absentmindedly. “since none of you guys are gonna leave this alone, yes. the girl from that last stream is my girlfriend, happy?” he watches his chat run wild with numerous exclamations. he thinks finally about his poor moderators. he’ll definitely have to give them something after this stream. “i’ve been trying to lay low about it because i didn’t want the world to freak out but now it’s out. just try and be respectful, okay? i love her a lot.” the words aren’t hard to say when they’re about her. he can say them honestly and play them off as a joke later, but for now he enjoys how nice it feels to say it.

he can see that shoyo has frozen up out of the corner of his eye. he needs to end this stream before either of them say something else they shouldn’t. he’ll answer a few more questions and slowly ease into a goodbye so that he can end the stream and debrief shoyo.

extras <3

this is a long chapter i'm sorry 💀 literally there's more but i tried to split this evenly into two chapters

kenma was literally just going through some random person's account who made edits of ice skating partners to self sabotage himself

yn wasn't sure when they'd be releasing partner pair ups and really freaked out when they were announced

she was texting everyone and tweeting a ton

she messaged her media girl like "hey i'm not comfortable with people sending me writing shipping me with atsumu can we please do something about it" and the girl replied, "what do you want me to do?? report them?? write you a message that you can tweet about your boundaries?? (yes) if that's what they want to write deal with it at least they like u"

and they wonder why she just posts whatever she's feeling on her main unless iwa tells her otherwise

noya has gotten distracted from the main topic of a chat to reply with a <3 to something nice y/n says multiple times

they're fr just best buds holding hand in the middle of a warzone where iwaizumi reigns over all

(the only two soldiers are suna and tsukishima)

suna's a lot softer without tsukishima around

he just feels like he needs his guard up around such a salty person

do not ask me why i made rofltropper an antagonist for no reason

kageyama was really just trying to finally do his english homework while waiting for hinata to come home and then he heard kuroo and oikawa start to yell

“i’ll do it”

summary: just chris sturniolo taking off your makeup after a night out together :)

word count: 650

warnings: use of y/n & n/n (nickname), lots of dialogue, pure fluff, established relationship, chris x reader, lowercase intentional.

an; two posts in one day?? also i will be posting from this account from now on, i sacrificed my old account for this, so be happy haha.

||masterlist coming soon||

coming home for the night, you place your bag onto the couch and sit down to take off your heels. you and chris had been out, without nick and matt, to a small get together with friends.

“i’m so hungry, do you want anything n/n?” chris is in the kitchen rummaging through the cabinets for something to eat.

“im okay, thank you. i had some of the chicken at brodies house.” “im so tired i dont even want to take off my clothes” you groan, falling backwards over the arm of the couch.

“put your legs down goofy, you’re in a dress” nick comes out of his room, pushing your legs back down.

“i didn’t know you were awake” you smile at nick, slowly pushing yourself off the boys’ couch.

“i'm always lurking, y/n. always” nick joked in an odd voice. the boys always seemed to make weird voices when they were excited, must be a triplet thing.

“nick what are you saying, dude, and quit breathing down my neck” chris shoved his brother off, spatula in hand as he flipped the grilled cheese in the pan.

“where were you guys even at? you missed me and matt on instagram live.”

“you know my friend brodie right? she invited me to a little get together but i didn’t really know anyone so i made chris come” you explain, hopping onto the counter next to the stove. chris puts a hand over the hot eye, ensuring you don’t touch it by accident.

“you guys are sickening” nick scoffs, walking out of the kitchen to his room.

“goodnight!” you call jokingly, knowing he really finds the two of you cute.

finishing his dinner, chris taps your leg, silently signaling you to jump down off of the kitchen counter.

“let’s go to bed, i’ll eat in my room” chris begins to walk up the stairs to his room, you following in suit.

entering his room, chris sets the plate down onto his desk. before you sit on the bed yourself, he stops you.

“don’t sit on my bed in your outside clothes, nasty. change first, then you can sleep in my bed.” groaning loudly, you comply. changing into a tank top and halloween pajama pants, you finally are allowed to get into bed next to your boyfriend. however, that’s still not enough for him. just as you start to get comfortable, chris objects, interupting you again.

“WAIT! don’t you have to take off your makeup?” chris eyes you before you place your head on the pillow.

“chris i really don’t want to tonight, please, can we just go to bed” exhausted and fed up with his antics, you fold the blaket over your legs, beginning to get up.

“hold on” you sigh, what more could he possibly want. “i’ll do it” chris pushes your shoulders, sitting you back onto the bed. completely worn out for the day, you allow chris to gather the supplies to remove your makeup himself.

sitting back down next to you, chris opens the micellar water, pouring the contents onto a cotton round you kept in his bathroom. you jerk back, the temperature taking you by surprise, as he begins at your cheek bones, wiping the cotton round over your face. chris lightly grabs your chin, turning your face towards him so that he can continue his work.

“thank you” you whisper as he finishes taking off your mascara, lightly kissing his cheek.

“anything to keep you from getting makeup all over my pillows” he smirks, putting the makeup remover onto the bedside table, and the cotton rounds into the trash.

“oh whatever, you were being nice to me, admit it” you scoff, waiting for him to come back to bed before you get comfortable.

“never” he smiles, placing a kiss onto your hairline before getting into bed and finally allowing the two of you to rest.

I think the r/limbuscompany situation is so hilarious.

So, the mods create a poll one day. Basically saying "we think that the sub is too horny. we're gonna hold a vote. you can choose to either have us make the NSFW rules stricter, or keep them the same"

Before this point, the rule was just "NSFW will be banned if its hornier than stuff in the game" But apparently, too many people were reporting relatively innocent posts for being NSFW, so the mods wanted to "make it easier" by just automatically banning anything in that gray area.

75% of the voters chose to keep the rules the same. And the mods totally and definitely respected their decision and NAH I'M JUST KIDDING THEY MADE THE RULES STRICTER ANYWAY

They said "we're gonna test out the stricter rules for a month" and, in my opinion, this was a ploy to make people not get so pissed about it.

People were pissed about it. People started clowning on the mods and all that. And a few things happened.

First, posts started getting auto-removed left and right because of some new automod report threshold system. Obviously, not good.

And then, someone posted This Art of Angela eating corn (originally drawn by one chitoitsu7) and got banned from both r/limbuscompany and r/theodysseyhadapurpose (the limbus shitposting sub with the same mods)

And not only that, but all their comments and posts from both subs were completely purged.

This Meme was also posted. I think it may have been posted by the same user as the one who put the corn art onto the sub, but if not, it was also posted by someone who had their account banned from both subs due to it.

At this point, people are fucking pissed. Everyone is mad. Even the people who were defending the mods over the NSFW decision were like "okay but now they have both not listened to us and started banning people who disagree with them"

And then, the person who posted the Angela Corn art got this message.

Now I don't have time to go through all the archived posts and comments by this person and point out how few-to-no examples there are of them "stirring the pot" but its safe to say that they broke no rules. At least, not enough to justify an IMMEDIATE permaban from both the sub in question and a different sub. Even the inciting art, the Angela Corn art, is not NSFW in any conceivable way unless you're either a complete degenerate or a top-tier puritan.

Everyone is mad. This message, which sounds like it was written by a 14 year old who watches too much anime and not like a simple and clear ban explanation by an experienced moderator, has been turned into one of the biggest copypastas in the Reddit Limbus community.

Where are we now? Apparently, the mods are going to make a statement soon. It seems like they may have been gaming too much and not noticed the sub bursting into flames for the past half day. Either that or the rogue mod(s?) were just too convincing about everything being fine. Either way, we'll have to wait and see.

[kingofthering-two]

Hi guys, Maïna / kingofthering here. You might have heard or noticed that I got my account terminated yesterday (and had the joy to discover you don’t just lose your sideblog but all the blogs associated with your account).

What happened? As I mentioned last week, I received my 2nd strike for copyright infringement on the 11th of December and I protested it (sent a DMCA counter notice) on the 12th. Tumblr forwarded the counter notice to the claimant on the 16th, leaving them 10 business days to answer before I could get the strike taken away and the content restored. Unfortunately, yesterday, on the 19th, I received my third strike and it came with the termination of my account. 

How is it fair that tumblr lets you receive a new strike so soon after the precedent one, when you couldn’t even have the time to finish fighting the first one? I legitimately don’t know. I’ve tried to contact them about this but they don’t treat the messages since it’s coming from a terminated account. I think I need to send the message with another email address, which I might do later.

Could my account come back? In theory, from what I’ve read online, yes, but that remains to be seen from my end for me to be completely sure of that. My only current hope is for the blog to reappear when I get my first and second strikes removed (the first is from January but I never thought of fighting it before because it was videos so I thought they didn’t stand a chance but now I genuinely believe the type of content doesn’t matter). 

In September, there were 14 days between the counter notice being sent and me getting my content back (10 business days + weekends) and I suppose we might have to take into account Christmas here. I think that in the best case scenario, I might hear from tumblr on the 30th of December, maybe the 31st.

What now? I briefly considered using this as a (forced) break from tumblr. I tried to have one earlier this year and failed miserably. I think that the older I get, the less patience and tolerance I have for things that annoy me (and get past the filtering system) (but also things outside of tumblr, seeing my gifs get reposted to twitter, something that happened again recently, really annoys the fuck out of me). But, at the end of the day, the good outweighs the bad (annoying) far much, when it comes to this website and this community. If I check my tumblr app screentime on my phone, I might cry at how bad it is. I do want to finish the projects I have ongoing (the RPF survey answers will be studied and treated and shared) and keep in touch with everything happening on here.

I’m going to use this current account to browse tumblr at least until the end of the year. I’ve already seen glimpses of stories that I need to catch up on and I’ve seen you guys being very supportive already (thank you) so I felt like making myself reachable here was better. Posting wise, I’ll probably post about things that I know are safe i.e. things of my own (stats, my progress on the 2025 journals) and gifs of things not coming from Dorna (e.g. reels/tiktoks, podcast videos).

What then? The only thing I can tell you for sure is that no matter what happens next, I’m going to create an archive blog on a separate account (with a dedicated email address). This blog will not have posts of its own but only reblogs of content I originally posted on kingofthering. If I can have my old account back, the job will be made much easier (and will obviously be more complete). If not, I’ll have to rely on a lot of research to get things back as best as I can. Don’t worry about this for now, I’m going to wait until I know for sure about my old account to start the process (since the method will be very different depending on the answer on that).

For 2025, we will see. The thing is, even if I get my account back, I know that I will keep getting strikes (even if I’m not posting anything because old posts of mine have been targeted as well) and honestly, even if fighting them works, it’s both stressful and exhausting. Also, people have been winning the battles against the strikes for now but who knows how long that will last.

And like I mentioned, it’s a sideblog connected to all my other blogs which also depend on kingofthering’s faith. That includes my main blog that I’ve had since 2011 (I don’t use it much but I use it to keep all the useful stuff like the photoshop tutorials, writing prompts, etc), my hockey sideblog (not been using it much either lately but it does have some history I’d like to keep) and a bunch of others.

A solution to keep those other accounts safe would probably be to move everything motorsports related to a new account (maybe this one if I can get my main back) and delete the original kingofthering. It would pain me because of the history of this blog and what I would lose in the process (mostly the asks I haven’t gotten to answer and obviously the following that I had grown but I suppose that I can grow back little by little). It would also mean I couldn’t see anymore the posts in my notes and the tags people add to their reblogs (which is like half the purpose of posting in the first place) and that’s annoying as well but I suppose I could grieve that too, in theory.

If I don’t even get the account back, well. I talk about creating a new dedicated account but if it also gets striked (which I suppose will happen), it will be equally exhausting to fight fo it so, I don’t even know if I want to do that.

At this point, I know which content is safe for sure (or what has been safe so far for me) and there are still a lot of stuff that I enjoy sharing with you and getting your opinion on but giffing race weekends was the major part of my blog and I don’t know how I feel about giving that up. Anyway, much thoughts to have still.

Can you do something to help? I don’t think so. Or, well, not with recuperating my account. In regards with the copyright issue as a whole, though? I don’t know what to say because I don’t know what’s the best course of action there. I’ve seen some discussions around about emails and a petition and involving other social media and bigger people but I genuinely don’t know what’s the best thing to do. I’ve personally always considered tumblr as this little (safe for everything) bubble and I don’t exactly feel comfortable “exposing” some of my content here to the rest of the world (some people on tumblr are already mean enough about RPF, I don’t need to see what people not on here have to say about it). That’s obviously just me and I’m not going to keep anyone from doing what they think is right. Part of me wants to believe that things will fix themselves once Liberty Media take over but that’s not a sure thing and the frequency of strikes lately has been quite worrying so I understand the need to do something. Some thinking over to do there too.

Where can you find me? For tumblr, on here for now. I’m going to post this on the motogp tag and I’ll try to follow my mutuals (from memory so, going to miss a lot of people for sure, sorry in advance). I might appreciate a reblog of this post to spread the word. I still have my twitter (mostly talking stats), the blog and my tiktok (barely being used but still in existence).

If I do the set ups correctly I’ll have my DMs open here and askbox open to anons. I am still bad at answering those, though, so apologies in advance there as well.

(Also, I just got home for the holidays and literally learned about the news when I was in the train yesterday afternoon, so, worst timing ever.)

[eschergirls]

Hi everyone! I hope everybody's okay. That felt like the longest February ever. ;-;

Recovery from surgery is taking a little longer than I anticipated but I'm almost at 100% now! There's not many site updates this month due to recovery, but I did restore and recover a bunch of old posts, including this one with "breathing" boobs that had a VINE embedded in it! I managed to find an archived copy of it and restored the Vine of all things.

Also restored are:

A Kiss of War video ad where you check out captured female prisoners like they're meat in a butcher's shop to decide who to rescue

A Wizard Magazine cover featuring Nick Fury and Yelena Belova

An old Marvel trading card featuring Black Cat in an extremely painful looking pose

A panel of Bobbi Morse in a very twisted attack pose

Two posts, one on Yelena Belova and the other of Natasha both in the same boobs and butt pose with glued on clothing

And Star Wars trading card art of Leia Organa with an extremely rubbery and twisted torso, and a t-shirt with the same design on it

The reason I have to fix up a lot of the old posts is because many were broken or formatted incorrectly when the site moved, also all of the older posts lack image captions (which weren't available on Tumblr in the past), and some have just been removed from Tumblr because the original submitter deleted their account or the image host was discontinued or Tumblr's algorithm flagged it as explicit. Also a lot of older posts lack sources or are in low-resolution. I replace the image with a higher res image, add alt-text, source it, and update the formatting to match the current standard I use. I also link the old posts to their Tumblr counterpart and fix up the Tumblr post as well. It's a lot of work but I hope it makes the site more usable for people looking through the archives. :)

I'm now adding "year" and "decade" tags to each post so people can more easily sort things by time period. This is something I should have done a long time ago but didn't, so it will be a LONG time before I can add this to all the old posts, but I'll try my best to work through it. All new posts will have them though and you probably already started to notice it.

I've also been going through my old inbox backlog in my email and Tumblr, so if you submitted something in the past and didn't see it you might see it soon! I deeply apologize for how long it's taken. ):

And now I want to give a huge sincere thank you to Escher Girls' February 2025 Patreon subscribers as well as those who donated on Ko-Fi! I really appreciate your support and helping to keep the site afloat as domain and hosting costs go up due to inflation. If you want to join my Patreon, you can here, it helps to pay for site upkeep and updates and helps to keep Escher Girls as an archive up even if Tumblr goes down or changes their policies again.

And now a huge thank you to the February Patreon subscribers::

1.) Biggest surprise while writing this year?

how much people responded to bill cipher saying daddy . how people have interpreted ford's relationship to mabel in theseus' guide; i've really tried to write him as really caring for her so seeing that interpreted as him disliking her is so interesting haha

most of all tho i'm just surprised and very grateful that theseus has received any attention, it's been so so wonderful reading everyone's thoughts and seeing them engage with the fic . it really makes the entire process so gratifying, and i hope folks continue to enjoy where the story goes next :D

2.) How many WIPs do you have in your docs for next year?

i've got my erotic billford rom com Can of Snakes that's over 20k right now . it has banger titles such as "sad handjob" and "penicular sounding", so someday i'll be posting that . i think they can make it work

i also just started Weirdmageddon 2: Electric Boogaloo: Lost In New York, an AU where ford gets stan to help him finish the portal after kicking fidd's to the curb . stan and bill become besties, ford hates it, and bill isn't allowed to destroy new york until he tries a slice of 'za .

this is not accounting for the mountain of comic WIP's i have but that shit aint goin on ao3

3.) Favourite character to write this year?

ford for sure . you give me a character who's autistic in a way that isn't cute and it just means the world to me . i get to give him evil autism . the autism where we acknowledge growing up autistic is traumatizing and makes you not a nice person all the time . fuck i love him . i get to dump so much of my own shit on him its so funnnnnnn yay lalalala

there was a whole paragraph i wrote that was just describing the perfect eye angle to maintain when walking through a farmers market to avoid social scenario's, which i had to remove because it was just me rambling about my own social survival strategies . farmers markets are dangerous places

i also love writing him in the context of bill . what a fucking mess they are i hope they never get better . but together <3

4.) The character that gave you the most trouble this year?

honestly stanley pines . i feel like i soften him too much, and lean in to his more positive traits than his more negative ones . it's hard because i feel like folks don't talk about the fact he was homeless for like 10 years & also had a breaking bad style adventure in columbia

the other problem is that he IS a big softy so idk . but he should be bitchier god damn it . he should be talking about his cataracts

6.) Did you receive any gifts this year?

I DID YOU INSANE PEOPLE thank you all it make a me smile:

@stemmmm @ancharan @kronehaze @sillyhyperfixator @ezrathean0n

7.) Did you do any collaborative works this year?

i feel like all my writing is collaborative!! i spend hours talking fic stuff with my wife & brother and my stuff is all the better for it . would love to do more of that w/ other folks i love it talking and thinking and playing is so fun

8.) What do you listen to while writing?

i don't like listening to music when i write lol ...... i sit in the cold silence and type in a frantic spiral .

i listen to a lotta different things while i think of things to write tho . atm all i want in the world is to make a theseus animation to this song it's very hammercore :

9.) Favorite line/passage you wrote this year?

oogh that's hard to choose . i'm just gonna share a bunch that make me laugh

from theseus' guide step six:

Dipper, clearly, doesn’t get it, and Ford acknowledges he is too young to understand a professional working relationship.

also from step six:

“Oh, sure, I can move on,” Stan grins, “To the other items on my list. A, the shack’s toilets all suck, and the seats keep raisin’ automatically. B, your handwriting sucks. C–”

from theseus' guide step three:

“You think you’re coming back anytime soon?” “No, 8-Ball, I don’t think I’m ‘ coming back ’ anytime soon.” Ford snides, though 8-Ball either doesn’t register that, or doesn’t care; hard to tell with the guy, “I’m sure you’re aware, but your boss wants to kill my family. And destroy my universe. ” 8-Ball sniffs. “Cool. Mind if I eat your leftovers then? Teeth keeps eyeing them.” Ford frowns, “You couldn’t have just brought them with you?” “Nah, man, I want to eat them.”

lots of lines from step eight but we ain't there yet

uuuuhhghhg who to send this chain mail along to uuuhgghgh

@beccadrawsstuff if u wannaaaa . anyone else feel free to pick this up as well i'm bad at this lol

[theultimatedisaster]

The recent AO3 AI scraping incident is killing my motivation to keep writing.

I have recently checked to see if my one (1) fic that I’ve posted on ao3 is indeed in the database. And it is.

I literally feel so shit rn. I felt like that ever since I’ve found out about the scraping.

I’m in college rn and my exams will start soon, so I should probably be preparing for them and not care too much about anything else, but I can’t.

There are only the first three chapters of my fic in that database - the latest one was uploaded a week ago or so and at that point, I’ve locked my fic. But I still feel so fucking nauseous that MY WORK is used to train a fucking GenAi model - a thing that I’ve been against for a long time. I’ve yet to write that asshole (which I won’t even bother to name) on huggingface a doi to remove my fic from the database (I still need to create an account on there).

When I saw that the fic is indeed in that database, I genuinely wanted to scream, cry, throw up, anything. I did not consent to this - I dare to say that the vast majority of ao3 authors didn’t.

I highly doubt that the scraper in question is reading this, but if they actually do, then I just want to tell them this:

Go fuck yourself. You are a fucking thief who stole other people’s work and is now using it for AI without the creators’s consent. You are nothing but a filthy parasite who is invading one of the very last places on the internet that hasn’t been corrupted with ads and aggressive capitalist tactics and is putting people there through misery. You are not a 'noble archivist' who is saving something that might become lost media in the future. Like I said, you are a parasite who is preying on actual creative people’s happiness and uses their work for something so pathetic, disgusting and shitty like training a GenAI model.

And to whoever defends this piece of shit or even tries to do the same things they did, go fuck yourself as well. Seriously.

Ever since I found out that someone did this to my work - my work that I’ve put my heart and soul into, I’ve felt hopeless. I’ve decided to take a break from writing so I could focus on my exams…but I still feel depressed because of it. Writing has been my passion ever since childhood, and now, that I’ve finally decided to post something of my own on the internet, it’s being stolen and used without my consent in such a disgusting way.

Like I already mentioned, I locked my fic. It will no longer be available to guest users because I want to have atleast some form of slight 'protection' against similar incidents in the future. But I also know that there have been those that had their fics appear in that database despite the fact that they were locked.

In which case I have to ask: WHAT THE FUCK ARE WE, AS FANFIC WRITERS (and artists in general) SUPPOSED TO DO TO PROTECT OUR WORKS AGAINST SHIT LIKE THIS???

As if I didn’t make it clear enough already, I never consented to my work being used to train AI and I never will. I hate generative AI with every fiber of my being and I sincerely wish that every such program would be completely destroyed and deleted from existence. If someone ever uses my work to train AI, than I want them to know that I fucking hate them and they should go fuck themselves.

AI """art""" is not art and it will never be. It is nothing but a gross, pathetic form of theft.

ʚ♡ɞ 𝕯𝖎𝖌𝖎𝖙𝖆𝖑 𝕰𝖝𝖔𝖗𝖈𝖎𝖘𝖒 𝖙𝖔 𝕰𝖒𝖇𝖔𝖉𝖞 𝖞𝖔𝖚𝖗 𝕭𝖊𝖘𝖙 𝕾𝖊𝖑𝖋 ʚ♡ɞ

I decided to make a series of posts dedicated to mental dieting, even if you're not really into manifestation/law of assumption and you're just into your journey to become your best self.

We spend so much of our time on our phones, tablets or computers that it has become our way of life. Most of the daily content we consume and most of the people we interact with every day come from the internet. We basically consume content like we consume food every day.

We talk about digital detoxing and digital decluttering constantly, but sometimes we have to become extreme to live our best life. We have to be mindful about the content we consume since like I mentioned earlier, we consume it like food and if we can be mindful about the food we consume to nourish our body then we can do the same to nourish our minds and hearts. So basically a digital exorcism is what we need to hold ourselves accountable, including myself.

In fact, I am guilty of this and as soon as I'm done with my own post I'll start doing my own digital exorcism as well to be mindful of my own mental diet since I've been neglecting it for the longest time.

∘•···············•∘ʚ ♡ ɞ∘•················•∘

Here is a list of things to do to start your own digital exorcism with things I've come up with and some ideas I've compiled over the months from reading around:

୨୧ Curate your social media experience.

I know that many people cannot quit social media entirely because nowadays some jobs depend on social media presence, plus social media can be a very nice and positive experience!

The internet should be a safespace for you so curating and being mindful of your content should be a high priority.

Delete people/users and social media that either you don't talk anymore or don't bring positive things into your feed or life.

Engage in content that makes you happy or brings positivity into your life, especially topics that you want to learn or improve so your feed gets filled with those things.

Delete any accounts you have that you don't use or represent a part of your life that reminds you of pain (we all had an emo private account to vent somewhere that either needs to be wiped for a new era or just deleted).

Scroll past things that trigger you without guilt since your mental health has to be the most important thing.

Just put your phone down, think about what you need in your life right now to become your best self or make things better for you mentally and practice mindfulness by curating your experience.

∘•···············•∘ʚ ♡ ɞ∘•················•∘

୨୧ Declutter & Simplify

This sounds very easy but it also can be very exhausting so I advise you to do it on a day off but include some things like skincare or a nice podcast to do it. You have to prepare yourself for this mentally since going down memory lane while doing this can be emotionally draining.

We already mentioned deleting accounts but deleting phone numbers that we no longer engage with is a form of self care, same goes for deleting messages or chat logs.

Leaving Discord servers that are inactive or you no longer engage with. Why keep something like that if you're no longer using them? Out of nostalgia? Honey, don't do this to yourself.

Delete apps or music (especially sad and depressing music!) that no longer serve you. They are taking up a lot of useful space after all.

And in relation to making space, declutter your photo gallery. This can be a rough one since we tend to hoard pictures and hoarding comes from a place of fear. Sit down, be ready to confront yourself, think carefully about how you want to categorize your photos and Konmari everything. Focus mostly on screenshots, pictures that you feel you don't look good in, repeat pictures and pictures that bring you bad memories.

Clean your emails to make space. Unsubscribe to newsletters that you don't need and remove any alerts. Just clean it.

From there, things should look cleaner and simple. I know that some of us are addicted to the chaos but trust me that even if you may feel some regret at first, you'll thank yourself later. Sometimes, your phone is a reflection of the state of your mind after all.

∘•···············•∘ʚ ♡ ɞ∘•················•∘

୨୧ Romanticize your Life!

This is the fun part of the digital exorcism, which is making things easier and prettier!

Redecorate your home page. Put everything in folders and from there you can go crazy! Pretty wallpapers, themes, colors... Anything that your heart desires. You can also apply this to other things, revamp your social media and Pinterest boards for a cleaner and better look.

Go on an account scout mission and follow accounts that align with your thoughts and values of your best self.

Install new apps that bring you joy but also feel purposeful to you. And don't feel guilty about installing things like cute games that can make you pause and relax, just don't abuse screen use!

∘•···············•∘ʚ ♡ ɞ∘•················•∘

୨୧ Other Important Things

Don't forget to update apps and back up what's important. I know that cloud backups are important but don't forget to backup things that may be important in an external hard drive.

Set up a ¨Sleep Mode¨ for your phone so you don't feel tempted by notifications at night and have proper sleep. You can also turn off notifications on some platforms to minimize your anxiety.

Set up ¨Digital Detox Hours¨ every day for you. Reconnect with your hobbies, play with your pet, take a nap, journal, do some prep... Just stay away from your phone. And if you don't have any privacy, it's okay. You can take notes and journal in your phone as well, just stay away from social media. Put on music and relax. This should be time for yourself and your feelings after all.

Don't feel bad about doing regular digital decluttering once you're done with the digital exorcism. This is mostly to start again in a clean slate, if the apps you installed for your clean slate are not to your liking, then you can make a small digital declutter and get rid of them later. It's not a bad thing to try new things because it's part of your self-discovery journey.

I hope this post was useful and don’t hesitate if you want to share any other advice you may have to improve your digital exorcism!

I might make another post recommending apps I use for manifestation soon in another post.

Hi Kait!

It has been a while since I last played mysmes (i replayed his route for Saerans AE release), so this may just be because I dont remember it well, but I kind of wish we got more Choi twins interaction in the AE. I know after all, this is a romance game, focusing on MC and Saeran, in his AE especially, but maybe just a chatroom or a cutscene between the brothers wouldve made the experience much better for me (going from 150% enjoyment to 300%).

Okay, after all that, my question is, how do you think GE and Saeyoung were right after reuniting? Did they "click" instantly and started telling eachother about what the other has missed out on happening / about their future together etc? Was it a bit awkward at first? I doubt so because they just love eachother so much but also, being seperated for so long mustve affected them in some way. Would seeing Saeran again make Saeyoung more or less guilty for leaving?

Im sorry, this is a lot but I love your writing and your page is such a source of comfort, I can not think of a more appropriate person to ask. ♡

I've definitely answered something like this before but I can't seem to find the exact post.

I think it's important to understand that SE Saeran is in a position he can't quite seem to describe. Near the end of Ray Route, he says that he doesn't want to see Saeyoung. He wants his brother to live a life in safety that will make him happy, and that's why he decides to help all of the RFA members out in searching for his brother and tackling the demon to end all demons, his father. His initial thought is to save his brother and move on because the idea of being in a confined space in any capacity with his brother makes him feel sick.

In all honesty, I can't blame him for feeling that way. Rika told him a vicious lie and that lie was beaten into him until he could no longer think straight. Despite Ray's earnest desire to live with his big brother and see V again, the damage of Rika's torture, losing his brother all those years before the torture, and the lack of commitment on V's part to save him no matter the cost has made it hard to imagine that dream ever coming true.

He may be able to understand V and Saeyoung's position, but that doesn't change the heartache he experienced for their part in this. Saeyoung didn't say he was leaving, and in doing so, left Saeran in the dust with no explanation. Saeyoung was a child at that time, it's easy to understand why he thought not saying anything was better than prolonging his pain, but Saeran was left to wonder if Saeyoung abandoned him for greener pastures and neither Rika nor V gave him a half-decent explanation.

I can't fault Saeyoung, but I do fault Rika and V for not trying harder to explain things to Saeran because he was entrusted to their care... for quite literally his entire life because he couldn't stay at home, the church, or with Mother Choi forever. Saying, "Saeyoung had to go to do something important" would've been better than glossing over the truth. I know that lying like that wouldn't work forever, but... it's pretty much undeniable that this lack of foresight aided Rika's manipulation.

Just as it's undeniable that V's inability to remove Saeran from Mint Eye caused significant harm. He tried to remove Saeran a few times by trying to reason with him, only to run away with his tail between his legs each time because he couldn't unravel how unhealthy it was to keep his promise to Rika and to Saeyoung at the same time. Had he chosen to remove Saeran as soon as he could, it... wouldn't be the same story.

Mind you, Saeran doesn't hate V and Saeyoung for their choices. He understands that the situation is nuanced... and complicated.

Even if it pains him to know they continually decided his fate and he never had a say in his future, he forgives them for doing what they did in the heat of the moment. It's how he's found his peace, but you have to take these feelings into account when you're thinking about the bond Saeran and Saeyoung are trying to build AFTER the events of the RAE. How do you talk to someone you haven't seen in years... knowing what you thought before was a lie?

I understand that Cheritz putting Saeyoung into a comatose state was a decision to create tension across the board. Listen, if they had not knocked him out, he would've solved the entire RAE himself. He would never want his brother and his partner to suffer. He will throw his life away for theirs, and he almost did. That's who he is and what he does!

He can't do that, though, and that's why the story has us see the harm in his decision. He's thrown his life away for Saeran before! The RAE asks us to confront Saeran's stance on this decision. It even puts him in his brother's shoes, and what does he do when confronted with a choice that asks him to survive alone or to save his loved ones with his life?

Why, he does what Saeyoung does all the time and he has to reckon with that decision. Can he be upset with his brother for doing this... knowing the roles had been reversed? Saeyoung decided for him in the past, and in a way GE Saeran is deciding for HIM this time.

It isn't healthy for either one of them to be self-sacrificial but when Saeran is put in Saeyoung's shoes, it shows him how difficult it can be to do what you think is right. It doesn't make it right, but it shows him what Saeyoung must've felt that day when he decided to give his life away to the agency.

He doesn't want his brother to die, nor does he want Saeyoung to throw his life away. Even if he doesn't know how to talk to his twin anymore, that doesn't mean he wants Saeyoung to live a life of pain and agony. Saeyoung's done enough of that. There are a lot of pieces throughout the Good Ending that imply Saeran has been reflecting on Saeyoung's choices, and these spots are there for us to infer what he's been thinking about in the shadows.

It may not be obvious at first glance, but he's been thinking about what it means to be the person who protects those he loves first and foremost. When you take the information we're given in the game, we can infer what their relationship will be like after the fact. I should also ask you to pay attention to a few of these conversations because Saeran borrows words from his brother near the end.

Saeran and Saeyoung may not have been able to have a long talk on screen but that doesn't mean they didn't take on elements from the other. If you pay real close attention to what they're saying when you interact with them, you'll notice that they take each other's words to heart. 

Saeran realizes that Saeyoung has always loved him to the point of sacrifice and Saeyoung realizes that Saeran loves him and the MC to the point of sacrifice, too. Stubborn boys, so alike and yet so similar in their love.

Considering Saeran’s first request was to ask you to tell his brother he wasn’t awake, I think that says a lot about what’s on his mind.

Saeyoung is often hunched over the bed, sobbing, crying, and pleading with him to wake up, too. It’s hard to face your brother when you’ve gone through what he has, and he doesn’t know what to say to Saeyoung. When they last saw each other, Saeyoung did all of the talking and his voice was caught in his throat.

Even now, he doesn't know what to say because how do you talk to someone you've missed more than anything but you've changed in that time? 

How do you talk to your brother who sold his life to protect you only to realize that deal would never go through? How do you talk to someone who wants to see you again but you still aren't sure if you can handle seeing them? The manipulation he suffered in Mint Eye didn’t disappear overnight. It's hard for him to talk about his brother, much less actually talk to him, but no amount of being aware of that fact can stop it.

You can be aware that you are experiencing something overwhelming but that doesn't mean you can stop it. 

I imagine that things are going to be tense initially no matter how hard they try to be there for one another. Saeran needs some time to process his feelings and Saeyoung doesn’t always understand that, I fear.

He always puts himself in a position where he can take care of his little brother, but this causes a rift in their relationship when he doesn't know when to quit. It makes sense for him to want to reunite with his brother and for things to go back to the way they used to be, but they can't go back to the way they used to be.

They are not the same little boys they once were, and if they did pretend to be the same way they were as children, it would be an insult to their character growth and how far they've come in life. It's not easy to accept loss, nor is it to accept the fact that a relationship can't be the same way it once was.

But, the only way to move forward is for Saeyoung to accept that. It isn't Saeran who needs to learn about change! He already knows he can change and move past who he once was, but it's not the same for Saeyoung who has spent years picturing a little boy in his head when Saeran already moved past being that boy.

[Look at my Saeyoung post about him being parentified and how that affects his relationship with SE Saeran], for more context on that subject.

A lot of people don't tend to like my answer when it comes to this outcome but it's what's best for the brothers. They need to get to know each other again as if they were strangers. In essence, they are strangers, because they aren't the people they used to be and if they want to build up a relationship similar to the one that used to have, they need to treat each other concerning this fact. It's not as if they click and everything is all better. They need to spend time apart, as painful as that is to hear. 

Now, don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that they need to stay as far away from each other as possible, I'm just saying they can't be glued at the hip like Saeyoung would want. There's so much they need to talk about and there's no rush to figure it out. They don't have to do this in a day, and the sooner that fact is understood the better things will be.

They have to start small and work their way up to the big stuff as much as someone would like to see them talk about hard-hitting topics as soon as possible. 

Personally, I want to see them texting each other and calling each other every other day to discuss their likes and dislikes. I want to see them build up a relationship out of trust with the knowledge that no one is pressuring them to get this right the first time.

Make no mistake, they're going to get it wrong at least a hundred times before they get it right, and even if they end up hurting each other's feelings in the process, that's not a bad thing. The only way to get to know each other is to accept the simple fact that they're going to make mistakes in the process. Saeyoung is going to do something stupid, and Saeran is going to do something dumb, and that’s okay. 

It happens to the best of us.

I have no doubt that Saeyoung is going to carry guilt. But, that's something he's going to have to work on not only by himself but with his brother, too. He can't dump all of these feelings onto his brother, and he certainly can't hold them all in until he explodes like he's always done.

He needs to get into regular therapy to talk about these feelings and I know he will because he's moving forward as best he can with what he has. This feeling is never going to go away, but it's not going to consume him the way it would have if he never had the opportunity to see his brother again. Trauma stays with us regardless of how far away we get from that experience, we just get better about how we handle our feelings towards that distress even if it's not perfect. 

Saeran, on the other hand, has to learn how to speak up when he’s overwhelmed. His knee-jerk reaction to tell you to tell his brother he’s unconscious is a part of it. It's not as if he's trying to run away from his problems, but it is indicative of the fact that he needs to learn how to communicate with his brother when enough is enough.

He has to tell his brother he needs boundaries for his comfort and understand that no matter what his brother says, establishing this dynamic is better for both of them in the long run. It may be hard to tell someone you love that you can't be around them as much as you want right now, but you have to do it for the sake of your health. 

Now, in regards to your question about how they treat each other, I think we get a good hint of what their conversations are like in the final part of the good ending!

We see Saeran and Saeyoung bickering, squabbling as siblings do, fighting for the very last word… and it’s sweet. That tells me their relationship is on the mend and things are moving better than they were before.

I like to think they tease each other, playfully, but it took them a little bit to get to that point because it's hard to tell what's pushing too hard and what's pushing just enough. Saeran and his brother are just like that, though.

Teases who poke fun at other people and that's true in any timeline where they're allowed to be healthy and happy. Dry sense of humor, sighing, and snickering at dumb jokes. That's Saeran. Bad jokes, the silliest meme you've ever seen made by a man at peace who loves to fish, and smiling ear to ear because you're free. That's Saeyoung.

So after days of testing, I have finally figured out what was causing the lag issue with my choker conversions…

After uninstalling, reinstalling & many other suggestions that I greatly appreciate still… it was the vertex paint color. Idk where I got the number that I used from. It obviously breaks the cc now in my game so I will be updating it to the CORRECT color. (007F00) & will be uploading the ‘working’ versions soon. (Ik a lot of you have said it hadn’t been affected so idk) It obviously affected my gameplay to need to be fixed. (Even after removing sliders & presets) But you never know. They may work better or not FOR YOU with this updated code. It’s your choice to see. I’ll probably keep the old versions In my vault folder incase of things that might happen. (Idk)

Which also leads to say I will probably open my new also FREE Patreon page that will ONLY contain Male Frame conversions. For those that ONLY want those or want to be updated about new stuff I convert without my Tumblr account nonsense as well.

I don’t like the conversions on MY CREATED CC page. I do not want others that aren’t there for conversions to have to see me only upload conversions if that’s what I decide to do. I also do not want to keep updating one post to include every conversion I do. I rather make a new post so that you 🫵🏻, will get notified that there’s new things to put on your pretty sims. (It also gives me a reason to upload that butterfly dress finally)

I don’t like Mega/Mediafire/Google Drive/CF to want to have a second upload area on those sites. All conversions will still have SFS link but a second one is needed.

End Note:

I will be updating all necklace conversions soon. It’ll be on a new free Patreon, as well as all future Male Frame conversions.

IT’S WHAT I’VE DECIDED. I’M SORRY IF YOU DON’T LIKE IT.

AITA for calling my friend annoying?

My friend group and I (15NB) all met on twitter, specifically on anitwt for a specific fandom. Won't name it, but it's super popular, anyway, I really like the main character and I make lots of edits of him that I would post on twitter or just rt art of him I like. I made a few oomfs who liked my edits and we soon became friends :]

tho one of our mutual friends has a delusional attachment to the main character, which I don't mind at all, but the problem is that whenever I post my edits, he (16M) ALWAYS comments something along the lines of "Oh 😳", "I didn't know you felt that way about me", "Did you edge to me while making this", "this is my roman empire <3" and other stuff. It was funny the first few times, but it's become very annoying now and I can't stand to see his replies under my edits. I muted him but even then I know he's still saying that since he says the same comments in my tiktok comments too when I post my edits there.

I know he doesn't control the delusion but it's still annoying he keeps talking about the character as if like I'm personally in love with him when i just like the character, i've gotten sick of it. I vented about it on my priv, I did not say any names but I did say "its fucking annoying getting the same annoying comments from the same person as if im in love w them and yknow not the actual fucking character 🥸🥸". It was all on my priv but I'm pretty sure someone saw the tweet and guessed it was him, since it got leaked with him having a screenshot of it (Ive since deleted it).

He called me ableist and told me it's not his fault he's attached to the character and I should be ashamed for calling someone with a DA annoying for what they can't control and insuiating that they are not the character. I made tweet out of anger which is why I made it on priv but I get now I shouldn't have said that. What I had meant is that I find it really annoying when he makes every comment or post of mine about the character to be about him like I'm flirting with him. I know he's the character but like also not??? Idk how to explain and I'm sorry if it was ableist and still ableist of how I'm explaining it, I just don't want every post of mine to be taken as flirts when I just like the character. (im a lesbian anyway so if that helps).

I made a apology on my main, removed my oomfs who didn't want to be oomfs anymore and deactivated my accounts. I still have time to reactivate them but I don't know if its worth it. I still really like the character but idk if I want to do that all again. I'm just thinking about making a new edit account for a new fandom and moving on, but at the very least I just want to know if I was the TA in this

What are these acronyms?

Fuck. I just realized that Vogel might well have been the one behind the police files on Violet's case disappearing in the first place. This line, "I'm failing to be of much help," his delivery of it, the seemingly innocuous question about the "precious information" and even the way this scene is framed...

I mean, we all know Vogel was stirring the shit from day one, but the possibility didn't even occur to me because I just assumed Mycroft had something to do with the missing files. Now that I think about it, though, there are way too many inconsistencies..

Why would Mycroft remove the files but not the folder that contained them or the crime scene report? He even left the judge’s letter (evidence of bribery) intact at the manor. I don't think he'd ever be careless enough to leave them behind if he truly wanted to cover the tracks, and he sure has the means to erase an entire room full of evidence from existence if he wanted to. I assume he also has some level of influence/control over what gets published in the news, so why would he remove the files but still allow the Chronicle to report about the investigation and completely contrdict the tuberculosis narrative by saying "cause of death unknown" ? If Sherlock happened to read it, it would raise all kinds of alarm bells...

All this to say.. I don’t think Mycroft intended to dispose of any physical evidence besides hiding the truth itself from his brother, I think he just wanted to take him out of that place at all costs and as soon as possible. Maybe he was confident in his ability to keep it all in Cordona and keep Sherlock away from it ? (especially with Sherry’s post-traumatic amnesia and Jon helping tremendously with that) I like this interpretation because it shows how despite all his careful planning and foresight, he was deeply affected by what happened and too tired to account for a future possibility in which Sherlock might want to revisit the past and investigate. I imagine he must be beating himself up over this oversight because all those breadcrumbs he unwittingly left behind eventually helped Sherlock piece everything together...

On the other hand, I can definitely see Vogel hiring someone (like when he hired a random guy to pretend to be a sailor) to relocate or get rid of the files to further complicate things for Sherlock and string him along, or to prove to him that systems, institutions, and even society as a whole reject the truth and reject it so vigorously that they're willing to alter or erase records to suppress it.

Heck, Vogel might well have wanted Sherlock to believe it WAS Mycroft because bonus points if he managed to destabilize Sherlock's mental state AND fuel the feud with his brother.

Removing the files or relocating some of them to the “discarded document drawers” but keeping an empty folder with big bold letters stating “The Case of Violet Holmes” does give strong vibes of someone deliberately trying to lead (or mislead) Sherlock rather than a poor attempt at evidence disposal, or even vandalism or mishap on the police’s part, for that matter.

That would also be the perfect way for Vogel to ensure Sherlock is locked onto the "Sisyphus to Ozymandias" path, because if Sherlock found that information was being deliberately suppressed, it'd trigger his obsessive need to pursue it until he's uncovered the whole truth...
