I’ve been rereading Murderbot and had the urge to draw MB and ART watching media together. I think ART is like one of those big dogs that thinks it’s a puppy.

The existence of an afterlife in BG3 has fuck all to do with whether or not Gale's feelings and actions around Mystra are valid or not. I saw an anon somewhere else and lost them but I want to be very clear. Arguing lore is secondary (and beyond) to me, behind being bare minimum trauma informed, empathetic, and GOD HELP Y'ALL, LITERATE...

When you are groomed and abused, inside or outside of institutions, always within some system that has enabled (intentionally or otherwise) that abuse, your abuser is at least psychologically to you omnipotent. They are judge, jury, and executioner. The weight of their displeasure or contentment, the fear of their ire, replaces your conscience.

It does not matter whether or not you personally believe Mystra has a certain level of power, Gale's connection to magic is or isn't threatened, the surrounding academic and religious structures are or aren't directly involved in grooming people. That has squat to do with the reality of abuse.

If you are trying to find loopholes in Dungeons and Dragons lore to spend your time arguing that people should hate a character you hate for processing his abuse & talking about his abuser in the Confront Your Abuser game, you are a dickhead.

I thought I'd ask how the updates to Palia have been? I haven't played in a while because I play via Switch and when they did the update Fall/Autumn update that changed the leaves to orange I couldn't play without the game crashing every 5-10 minutes. I guess a lot of people who play it via Switch had the same issue and I haven't heard of any patch or update that has fixed this issue for the most part.

I really miss the game, but between the crashes, the lack of advancements in the storyline (or relationships), and the inability to replay the game as it is I have been reluctant to play again. So I thought I'd ask how it's going.

Also! I really love your story and all your posts about Reth, and the other characters as well. I really love the game and the content you, and other creators, have made have really helped to keep the game alive. Thank you! 😊💜

Hi there love,

Sooooo, I will be honest here, I haven't really played Palia since August because firstly, I fell into an endless pit playing Baldurs Gate 3 and secondly, because I kinda ran out of things to do in Palia. I played through all the available storyline, did all the quests...there was nothing more for me to do than hunt and gather but I also reached my item limits soooo...

Which is a damn shame because I love the premise of this game. The lore. The characters. And most of all: the promise and potential these characters hold that is, in my opinion, underused or even unused in certain cases.

I know there have been content updates and a lot of bug resolves etc over the last weeks but I do not know if they solved the Switch issues. I heard there were some really annoying bugs and some, like you apparently, had their game rendered unplayable with the updates. I have played a little when they added the newest temple and the continued Subira storyline, but my game, too, was buggy af so I just gave up. As a PC only player idk how its running on switch right now, sorry I cant help you there. Maybe someone else has some insight and would be so kind to share their knowledge? ❤️

Last but not least, thank you so so much for your kind words. I am so very glad you are enjoying Fuel so far and that you are finding joy in the fruits of fandom creation. Fandom is what we make it, all of us together. And so long as we stand together to share our love for these characters in whichever way we can, this fandom will live on, regardless of what happens with the game itself. ❤️

"Why would someone write or listen to dark heavy music about death and stuff? Anyway here's all the details of how my friend's cat is dying and it's so sad, she's 17, how old is your cat again? And also my theories on when and where a friend's relative may have died alone at home based on what I've heard about the family hiring cleaning people."

I think apple white deserves to be a hime gyaru send tweet

honestly being hime gyaru would've fixed her. unironically, apple participating in a subculture focused on subverting standards in favor of pure self expression and getting into what it really MEANS to be gyaru and a princess would've sent her into a spiral that would make her ACTUALLY self refect and look internally, that or she'd double down in denial lol

Hiiii, I read your fic “in private” (i think it’s on anon, tho) and it’s so so good, I love the dynamic between Max and Charles, it’s so spicy 🤭 looking forward to the second chapter 🥰

Hi sweetheart 🩵 I'm so glad you liked it and yes it's anon, because of kinkmeme (maybe I'll de-anon it sometime, dunno!)

Haha, I loved writing them as well :) and I will post the second part in a few days! 🤍

Nope now it’s at the point that i’m shocked that people off tt don’t know what’s going down. I have no reach but i’ll sum it up anyway.

SCOTUS is hearing on the constitutionality of the ban as tiktok and creators are arguing that it is a violation of our first amendment rights to free speech, freedom of the press and freedom to assemble.

SCOTUS: tiktok bad, big security concern because china bad!

Tiktok lawyers: if china is such a concern why are you singling us out? Why not SHEIN or temu which collect far more information and are less transparent with their users?

SCOTUS (out loud): well you see we don’t like how users are communicating with each other, it’s making them more anti-american and china could disseminate pro china propaganda (get it? They literally said they do not like how we Speak or how we Assemble. Independent journalists reach their audience on tt meaning they have Press they want to suppress)

Tiktok users: this is fucking bullshit i don’t want to lose this community what should we do? We don’t want to go to meta or x because they both lobbied congress to ban tiktok (free market capitalism amirite? Paying off your local congressmen to suppress the competition is totally what the free market is about) but nothing else is like TikTok

A few users: what about xiaohongshu? It’s the Chinese version of tiktok (not quite, douyin is the chinese tiktok but it’s primarily for younger users so xiaohongshu was chosen)

16 hours later:

Tiktok as a community has chosen to collectively migrate TO a chinese owned app that is purely in Chinese out of utter spite and contempt for meta/x and the gov that is backing them.

My fyp is a mix of “i would rather mail memes to my friends than ever return to instagram reels” and “i will xerox my data to xi jinping myself i do not care i share my ss# with 5 other people anyway” and “im just getting ready for my day with my chinese made coffee maker and my Chinese made blowdryer and my chinese made clothing and listening to a podcast on my chinese made phone and get in my car running on chinese manufactured microchips but logging into a chinese social media? Too much for our gov!” etc.

So the government was scared that tiktok was creating a sense of class consciousness and tried to kill it but by doing so they sent us all to xiaohongshu. And now? Oh it’s adorable seeing this gov-manufactured divide be crossed in such a way.

This is adorable and so not what they were expecting. Im sure they were expecting a reluctant return to reels and shorts to fill the void but tiktokers said fuck that, we will forge connections across the world. Who you tell me is my enemy i will make my friend. That’s pretty damn cool.
