Since it looks like ivory's streams are gone now, I compiled a list of all of her Showtime SMP streams, so that there's at least some record of their existence. I provided links (in blue) to alternative povs of the events, if any exist for the given day, and included brief descriptions of what happened. In parentheses are the titles and links of the now deleted streams. Enjoy!

All dates are in 2023.

9. 6. ivory's video. Gets gear, and a horse named Lewidor. Not in character. The video Becoming a Minecraft Dictator is a summary of the first few days, with kinda a more self-aware, comedic take on it. (Title: its showtime.)

10. 6. Zolister. Announces her Watchkeeper reign, then talks about morals with Vi and chat. (Title: ivory makes an announcement)

12. 6. ivory's video. Hunts down her first person, Rylan. The video Hunting Minecraft’s Most Elusive Player sums it up very well. (Title: showtime smp)

13.6. None. Makes a grave for her horse Lewidor with Vi. Vi then shows her his therapy office. (Title: lewidor's funeral)

22. 6. Vi. Gets introduced to kantje and Effy. Kills Cupid, then Mugm in an arena duel, then Rylan. Then hangs out with Vi. (Title: SHOWTIME SMP)

25. 6. None. Builds a drowned farm (with Vi and Loppezz, if I remember correctly), and kills Tidus in a very drawn out battle. (Title: happy tuesday.)

28. 6. Nebula. Killing Strobe, which she felt really bad for. (Title: i love murder.)

2. 7. Nebula. Killing Nebula. (Title: i am normal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

4. 7. Zolister and Vi. Gets hunted down by a group of people. The bit where she gets hunted is gone now though. (Title: frog)

5. 7.  None. Family roadtrip with Vi, Zolister and Rasplin. Ends with Vi trying (and succeeding) to prevent the other three from killing each other. (Title: SNOG)

9. 7.  kantje. Casino opening day, she threatens the owners after they put her kill list up for auction. (Title: shoe time)

16. 7. Vi and Zolister and kantje. The petition against ivory's regime. She refuses to step down, and gets killed repeatedly. (Title: SHOWTIME SMP SUNDAY and the n NIERAUTOMAA) 

17. 7.  None. VN43 makes a deal with her: he will provide her with resources, and in exchange she will give him some power if she wins the election. Both are very willing to betray each other. (Title: nothing - showtime smp AND THEN OMORI)

21. 7. Vi. Talks with Vi, looks for a location for a new base, briefly talks with Win, Trashy, and Divy. (Title: showtime smp - WAHOO)

23. 7. None. Looking for a potential base location and grinding. She (half by accident, half on purpose) finds someone’s secret base. Not in character. (Title: SHOWTIME SMP)

26. 7. None. Just grinding for resources. Not in character. (Title: showtime smp CHILLING. NO MURDER.)

6. 8. Zolister. Gets told about The Silencers by kantje, kills Zolister, tears down her house. She starts "glitching out", reminiscent of the I Killed God video. Alluded/talked to Ebony (clarification). (Title: showtime smp sunday)

7. 8. None. Renovating an ancient city, getting rid of the shriekers. Not in character. (Title: im going to kil)

9. 8. None. Hangs out with CherryNyx, who asks her questions about humanity. Then works on her base. (Title: im)

13. 8. None. Building an iron farm in her base. Not in character. (Title: gorgle)

18. 8. Vi. The election. (Title: SHOWTIME SMP ELECTION)

Bonus: ivory didn’t stream these, but they are relevant. If you have more of these, let me know.

23. 6. Vi: Vi and ivory hang out, and discuss ivory's mental state.

20. 8. Win/Boba/ Vi: ivory’s goodbye letter.

28. 10. Vi: (Unborn Solipsism) has a scene where ivory tells Vi goodbye.

Bonus two: these ivory streams were not actually on Showtime, but were related. Not super useful information, but here you go.

30. 6. gug. Analysing her video Becoming a Minecraft Dictator.

13. 7. WEEE. Analysing her video Hunting Minecraft’s Most Elusive Player.

18. 7. showtime smp reading stream (then drawing). Reading Showtime SMP fanfics.

hello! i'm excited for swapped

are you also still working on st4rdom?

hey! Glad to hear you’re excited for it! honestly so am I :)

As for ST4RDOM, I haven’t been able to work on it lately. Mainly because I have been busy with writing Swapped and just…my life getting hectic with work and personal matters. Especially since Swapped’s demo is supposed to be coming out THIS month, I’ve been busy editing the pilot to perfection. I don’t think I’ll be able to get to ST4RDOM until after the demo for Swapped is out, at the very least.

In addition, I haven’t been motivated to write ST4RDOM recently as I want to write with accuracy. That takes research, time and complete focus on my part. I’d pay to have five hours to just sit and write the game if I could. A bunch of excuses, I know, but I’d like to get back to it for you.

Until the time comes for an update, I appreciate the patience.

[wundrousarts]

With Mogtober around the corner, I wanted to share:

If you want to do more prompts, such as tackle a 31-prompt list for the whole month, or just don’t like the prompts and want to do other ones, I have this spreadsheet that I usually pull the prompt lists from if you want ideas. Or, if you’ve had any Nevermoor ideas for things floating around in your head that you’ve been meaning to get to, you can also just take Mogtober as an opportunity to do that. The main goal is always just to have fun!!

better alternatives to purchasing from devilinspired

after seeing the 40,000th video of lolitas ordering from sites like devilinspired and my-lolita-dress and seething/coping/fuming/etc, i’ve decided to make a post giving resources for better alternatives if you want to purchase from brands on taobao and receive better pricing and customer service while doing so!

“but why are devilinspired/my-lolita-dress bad?”

they’re not necessarily evil sites that need to be boycotted per se, but they don’t exactly have a high standard for quality control (including selling design and print replicas), price gouge pretty badly, and have had less than stellar customer service, so i thought it would be better to give people resources for smarter purchasing!

here's a 2018 breakdown comparing the prices between the shopping service 42agent and buying through taobao directly

here's a tutorial on how to navigate and purchase from taobao directly without the use of a shopping service/agent

and here is a link to 42agent’s lolita vendor site, 42lolita, which has consistently better brand quality control, lower pricing, and better customer service than DI or MLD

i’ve also crossposted this info to twitter via a thread :)

The most fascinating part of the AI-in-writing discourse is everyone's certainty that they're on the same page. You'll see people saying "we should just ban all AI-generated content!" in a thread where people agreeing with them have already excepted outlining, idea generation, light edits, first drafts, rephrasals, Grammarly, Google Docs spell-check, memes, character.ai, etc. from their definitions of "AI-generated works."

There is absolutely no clarity on whether popular opinion in favor of an "AI ban," even on any one individual website, includes anything outside of "putting in one prompt, taking the first result, and posting it without any acknowledgement of AI usage"—which is, of course, by far the rarest usage of the tech. Good luck, babes.

if I'm being honest palace/theme park/beach were all bogus options to me I wouldn't really want any of them all to myself

[significant-narratives]

is william nylander a leo rising or anything like that? I feel like he’s leo-adjacent

alas we do not have a birth time for willy (at least, not that i know of) so i can’t say for certain. i am however willing to walk with you on this path as a bit of a thought experiment! also this got really long, sorry i have chronic Can’t Shut The Fuck Up disease

now, a few disclaimers before we get started:

1) i generally don’t love trying to guess rising signs — this isn’t a judgement on anyone who does, i just find it particularly difficult to do lol. so take everything i say here with a grain of salt

2) i subscribe to the belief that a rising does influence/color the rest of an individual’s chart, so keep that in mind as we delve into this.

3) i am by no means an expert when it comes to astrology and don’t claim to be, and i do pull from various sources when needed to supplement my own knowledge. i am here to have a good time and that’s all! if you have any questions about the sources i use feel free to ask.

okay with that out of the way. willy as a leo rising is interesting! if we look at what such a placement would entail we can see a lot of ‘willy-like’ traits: there’s the courage, confidence and protectiveness associated with any leo placement. high charisma, extroversion, directness. as an ascendant the ‘fixed energy’ of leo tends to manifest in a need to achieve success and stability, and then maintain it. body awareness is another one — understanding how you look and move through space (usually linked to a strong sense of personal style).

(more of a side note, but in terms of physical characteristics, leo risings are often described as tall and broad shouldered, with expressive eyes and strong bone structure. i don’t place as much weight on this aspect of a rising sign, but it’s interesting!)

so, from all this, you could make a strong case for willy being a leo rising! however there’s one crucial thing that isn’t clicking for me: an individual’s rising sign tends to be linked with a public mask / a lens through which they see reality. and i don’t think the way willy presents himself to the public, or what glimpses we’ve seen of his worldview, is quite aligned with leo rising energy specifically.

his white knuckle grip on his ‘i am Chill and Calm and Going With The Flow’ attitude is a little out of line with how leo energy tends to manifest (imo). like one thing about a leo — what you see tends to be what you get and they’re not ashamed to show you that. they’re not (in my experience) all too concerned with persona-building or shielding themselves from being seen. they’re picky about who they give their time and energy to, sure, but like. that’s not quite the same thing. you feel me?

so if he did have a leo rising… i feel like in theory we wouldn’t see a lot of willy’s tendency to keep things very close to his chest and generally not Feel Things In Public. like, think about it. how much do we actually know about william nylander. and how much of what we know came from him. half of the off season content we get that features him comes from alex’s gf’s insta! he’s out here posting pictures of lizards and aesthetic topless photos. it took him eight years and finally securing his place in toronto for the foreseeable future for him to be willing to get even a Little vulnerable with the press and admit just how important toronto is to him, how strongly he’s put down roots here. again you could argue this protective quality is a point in favour of a leo rising placement… but he is also a taurus sun… also is this a good time to say i don’t feel like i’m picking up on that ‘leo rising energy’ trickling down into the rest of his chart? i feel like with a leo rising you’d see a very different manifestation of his gemini venus or libra moon, for example, but that’s just speculation on my part.

it’s also possible the general ‘leo adjacent’ energy you’ve mentioned picking up from him is that gemini venus / aries mars combo of his (i will hold my tongue and not say the word that i’m thinking in my head rn).

tl;dr my verdict on willy having a leo rising: it’s possible but not my favourite choice for him personally! to me i’ve always felt like he gave off water rising energy… (op are you saying this because you are a taurus sun scorpio rising you ask. to which i will say: no comment <3)

When you open your commissions will you have like all the prices and will do won't dos what costs extra ect on an info sheet? Plus how you'll accept payments either through PayPal kofi ect, just so I can look at it and save it and know exactly what would be okie to commission and work out cost of it either for Fri or if I miss my chance maybe next time if they're opened again

i can accept payment thru paypal or kofi! i take all payment UP FRONT. once you tell me what you want, i'll figure out the total based on the information below and relay the price to you.

price for full body sketch commission: 40 USD for lines and 60 USD for colored. simple, single color illustrations like this would only be 5 dollars more.

price for half body sketch commission: 30 USD for lines and 50 USD for colored.

you can have up to 3 characters per commission. each additional character is +50% of the base price. complex designs like metal sonic or omega will cost extra depending on complexity.

sketch commissions will either have a white background or a single color background (you can pick!). if you want something more than that, it will be double the total price (i don't like drawing backgrounds LMAO).

all characters MUST have a full visual reference. i will not draw characters based solely on a text description. it's also preferred if you have a pose in mind for your commission, because that makes it easier for me to give you what you want. if you're okay with me winging it though, that's okay too.

OK: sonic characters, sonic ocs, light romance (canon x canon, oc x canon, and oc x oc are all OK!), robots

NOT OK: nsfw, gore (just blood is ok), hateful content, pro-ship bullshit

i reserve the right to turn down a commission request for any reason. my artwork is never permitted to be resold or used to train AI. i never consent to it being ""minted"" into an NFT either.

yayyy commissions

[shalom-iamcominghome]

hello! i think you've answered a question like this before so hopefully this is okay to ask. when you reached out to synagogues for the first time, did you tell them you were interested in conversion from the start, or just that you were interested in the congregation and attending services? if the latter, how long did you attend before talking to a rabbi about conversion? i'm interested in attending a synagogue, but i've never been to one before and kind of want to ease into it, and maybe go to a few services/events just to see what the community is like, before discussing conversion. is this normal, or should i tell them i'm interested in conversion/that i'm not jewish right from the start?

So, I personally didn't disclose that information, and in general, I feel it's a conversation best had face-to-face. I felt like it would have put too much pressure on the shul to ask about conversion out the gate, especially if they are unable to help. In my case, my shul was unable to convert me but they provided me with so many resources that it was frankly no disappointment. For that reason, I think it's generally a good idea to tell them that you're interested in services and follow their procedures for welcoming a newcomer. I have, however, always been open about the fact that I am currently converting and serious about this decision, and I believe that's given a good impression that people are willing to work with me (even though I still don't know if I deserve all the help, but that's not the topic!).

It's completely fair to say you've never been to a shul before, and that's also what I said before I came to shul for the first time! It can give people a good idea of what to expect, and how much help you may or may not need. I've personally found that people are incredibly willing to help, especially when they see that you're serious about it.

All of this is to say that you can absolutely mention conversion and your interest in it - I personally have found success in showing up as-is and putting no expectations on myself or my shul friends. I wish you the best of luck🩵🙏🫂

Your games are always the highlight of my tumblr week ♡ Today I choose Alhaitham

I know you already know vaguely that me and Alhaitham don't know how we ended up together, let alone how we ended up with a child. We see for like 2 weeks every 2 months because of our undercover line of work. What you dont know yet though is that her name is Aurelia. It means Moon Jellyfish. I didn't know this, and just fell in love with the name. As basically a genius he did know this though, and hates the name jkashdjkahsdj. But I won, and now she has a pet Jellyfish that he caught her. He named it Channary, meaning moon girl. He did this to be a smartass but she loves it and is none the wiser.

We literally have no idea when we started dating, we just know that one day we were in love against our will.

Our daughter lives with his grandmother that gives him hell but absolutely loves me. She does hate that we won't just work regular jobs and be at home with the family though.

Our wedding was a small one, with a max of 30 people, just those closest to us. We planned it and were wed in less than 2 months but it looked so gorgeous it was as if i took 2 years. Kaveh still lived with us until our child was born. She was born about 3-4 years after we got married.

I think that's somehow more than 5 facts idk i was into it i'm sorry kajbsdjkashd Anyways, I cant wait to see this. I'm still completely OBSESSED with your k-drama you made me for my bday with Jackson Wang ♡

⌱ TITLE: The Dagger of His Heart

⌱ GENRE: Historical Romance, Action, Adventure

⌱ PREDOMINANT TROPE(S): strangers to frenemies to lovers; almost arranged marriage but one of them ran away

⌱ SYNOPSIS:

As word spreads across the Kingdom of Ilm of a vigilante who goes by the name Ryder, Prince Alhaitham sends orders to capture “him” in hopes of easing civilian’s unrest. So when Ryder continues to evade each ploy to capture themself, Alhaitham gets restless and ventures out in the desert himself to find his target. But things take a turn when Ryder captures him instead. Even more so when the prince finds out Ryder’s true identity and the real reason she’s kidnapped him. Now he must decide if the notorious vigilante is to be trusted and learn who his true enemies are.

⌱ ADDITIONAL PLOT POINTS:

In case it wasn’t clear, Ryder is thought to be a male by everyone. However, Alhaitham figures out very cleverly that she’s female the first time he sees her in person.

Ryder’s true identity is that of the runaway princess of the kingdom across the desert. It’s been three years since her disappearance. Alhaitham figured this out on his own as well, shortly after meeting her.

The reason why she ran away and is now capturing Alhaitham is bc she knows the corrupt secrets of both kingdoms and needs his help to end it all. Which he accepts.

Alhaitham is instantly impressed by Ryder the first time he heard any news of her. He was secretly rooting her persona on everytime news came of a vigilante raiding an army base etc etc.

Alhaitham and Ryder bicker a looooot. On their adventure, they are assumed a married couple multiple times bc of it.

First kiss happens in book 2, pg 286 when the two are running away from a deadly group and hide in an alleyway. The tight space and need to stay hidden pressures the prince to swoop down and kiss her. And then they kiss again and again…and again for a looong time.

Ryder’s true name is revealed to Alhaitham but it’s never written out in the book. The author chose for only Alhaitham to ever know her name. Not even readers are privy to this information.

⌱ AESTHETIC:

shitpost dispatches from guanyin temple & the sangyao dungeons - [10/?]

with the important caveat that no, jgy was absolutely not attempting to kill or harm nhs prior to this moment, but I would bet cash money on him exacting some pretty bloody retribution upon his beloved a-sang if he'd survived the events of guanyin temple (and also I think he would win)

[warriors-naming-ceremony]

going to ask some clarifying questions before they come up so you can be prepared. muahaha

for those with multiple cat submissions, what would you prefer?

send multiple photos in one ask

one photo per ask, but if it has multiple cats they can all get named

one ask per cat, but user can send them all at once

one ask per cat, user should wait until one is posted to send another

will you post photos of cats who are already named? if so, and 'user should wait until one is posted', would that also apply here? for example, i could send a group photo after mine are named, or kitten photos

do you want to know the cat's given name in the ask or would you rather it not influence your judgment? re: description is there anything in particular you would or would not want to know?

this sounds like a very fun project and i'm sorry if i'm overwhelming a bit with questions :v

last question are you just running this as a front to see more cats /joke

Heya! Thanks for throwing some questions at me!

So for people who have multiple cats they would like to send me, I would ask for each cat to be sent separately. You can send multiple photos of the same cat in one ask, however to refrain from confusion, I think it would be the most convenient to limit it to one cat per ask.

People are totally allowed to send them one after the other though! The goal here is to be getting as much engagement as possible, so if you want to send me three different asks with three different cats, you don’t have to wait until one is posted to send the other.

I will accept photos of cats that have been named already! And in these cases, group photos and multiple cats are allowed! All I ask is for you to include the names I’ve given them already IN said ask so I can both tag properly, and because I have memory issues so I might forget specific cats.

I would prefer to not know a cats given name until after they’ve been named, but I know there will likely be instances where people won’t read the pinned (when I add all this), so this isn’t the strictest rule. But I would prefer to have a clean slate name-wise. Feel free to tell me all about your kitty though! (<- such as personality traits, silly habits, anything that makes them unique and endearing to you)

I am absolutely running this to see more cats, I think everyone needs to see more cats in their life.

its like so fucked to me that PCOS is almost always diagnosed in middle aged women bc of fertility issues unless the person in question has a very obvious and severe case or lobbies their doctor at length about it. this would not be so upsetting to me if PCOS didn't massively increase your risk of developing type 2 diabetes in a way that is largely preventable! or if PCOS didn't make it damn near impossible to lose weight, meaning many people have their symptoms dismissed be it for other health problems or PCOS symptoms themselves over something they have next to no control over.
