from an article titled "I’m a Swiftie, but the staggering size of the Eras tour has left me feeling alienated"
girl im not sure you are a swiftie if you're saying the anthology is full of forgettable songs...
#and the author also had a dig at the icdiwabh song/performance#saying that taylor is goading us when she sings that she could be miserable right now but still putting on this show and we'd never know#very odd behaviour#and she tries to drag all the acoustic / extra releases of the album#like#you dont have to buy it#if you think the eras tour is over rehearsed thats because it is#if you think the taylor is trying to 'impress upon you her indomitability#inviting you to marvel at the extent of her back catalogue and#her superhuman stamina'#maybe she just wants to put on an insane show for her fans to be able to enjoy all of her eras#the author even writes that she doesnt feel like a swiftie anymore. more like a conscript that is forced to stream spend and post so tay can#grow her cultural dominance#JUST DONT BUY THE VARIANTS#its honestly not that hard#overconsumption is a problem but literally no one is forcing you to spend any many on ttpd variants#sage.p#sorry yall I'm kind of mad about this article#i just dont think op is a swiftie lol#taylor swift#calling the anthology mostly forgettable has rrly got me pissed#ts#the eras tour#taylor swift article

not really interested in the pacific rim comics kickstarter* but its so funny that one of the backer tiers is literally the "pay $1000 for your oc to appear for one panel and then instantly get killed off" reward from the hiveswap campaign lmao
*its a sequel to uprising so makos still dead, they still havent changed lady dangers official name to not be a literal slur, and im not familiar with the writer but they worked on netflix avatar so. not super convinced about the quality there
#i originally signed up to be notified when it was launched bc obviously im excited about pacrim stuff#but like. only raleigh jake and newt advertised (also did they forget newts last name lol) no women. no hermann or tendo either#idk it seems a little. eh. also they spend like half of the page advertising different variants for different tiers but dont even#show a page preview or give a real plot synopsis or anything#its definitely more in the spirit of uprising than pacrim itself which. it is what it is ig#but im happy with the prequel comics and the 10th anniversary fanzine i dont really need to buy this just bc its “official”#(besides its not like beacham or del toro are involved in any way so like. id say its officially licensed more than anything)

Taylor Swift needs to stop with all these different editions of the same album but with different bonus tracks. It's just rude and greedy. I will buy one cd per album and it sucks that I would have to buy like a million exclusive versions just to have a physical copy of every song (*glares at Midnights concert exclusive cd that also isnt a complete version of the album but still is the only physical edition of certain songs and also completely impossible to buy*)
#taylor swift#like making variants with different covers but the same songs is fine. i dont care#but dont require buying multiple store exclusives just to have access to all songs

#genuinely no opinion on the album discourse#sometimes i buy all the variants sometimes i dont#literally just depending on how i feel#i def understand wanting all the songs in one place#but i also hate people thinking taylor is doing it all out of capitalist greed#when its obvious the reason she does it is bc she loves us#and wants to give us things

Hello, I'm knew to using your mods for cas and just wanted to know if they are up to date for the new patch. Not sure if they are compatible or not because this is my first time using them. Thank you in advance.
Hello! My cas mods/bgs should generally be safe with new patches as it is only an object override for a debug item. Unless the devs make changes to that specific object, it will work as usual. CAS UI mods are usually the main culprit for any UI breaking in CAS.
* I'll need to back to some backgrounds so that it works well w/ horses (esp the one with reflected floor)
Unrelated to ur question, from the bits I see, my cas bgs would probably look funny with horses since they're huge and clips thru objects :') reminds me of ts3 horses barging into buildings 😂
#so ya know how I haven't made the blast from the past set for ts3 yet? well I've been saving it for the horse pack#since it got ranch and all. but I dont have the pack yet so I cant use the build buy items :')#I honestly wish there's the pets variant for the cas bg just like we had in TS3 to accomodate the clipping#double the work for sure but at least I dont have to worry about my cas bg not fitting 😆#ask

ok you dont have to do it if your not comfortable but can you do where reader finds out nats a little and the reader takes her in as her mommy and nats has a very young headspace so she wets herself and has to waer diapers also no one knows and nat wants to keep it a secret.
sorry if you dont understand i fail english
It’s okay
Little!natasha romanoff x caregiver!fem!reader
Warnings: age regression, wetting diaper and fluff
Natasha and I have been dating for a few months now and lately she’s been kinda distant from me. She tells me that she values her alone time a lot and understand that but we barley spend time together anymore. Im getting tired of it and I need answers now. You pulled up to Natasha’s apartment and got her spare key she gave to you to unlock her door. When you went in, you saw Natasha in the living room with a onesie and a stuffed animal in her arms, watching bluey.
She looks up and sees you which causes her to get scared. “Hey hey baby it’s okay it’s just me..” you said slowly walking over to her. “I just wanted to come by and check in on you to see if you were okay…” you said slowly so you didn’t scare her even further than she was. “M-mommy?” Nat questioned and you looked at her confused until it hit you. Natasha was a little and she age regresses. You just thought nat was in a comfort thing but how she looked when you first walked in and the name she called you by. It all clicked in together in your mind.
“Yes babygirl. It’s mommy. I’m your mommy. Is that okay?” You asked her softly as you bent down to her level. She nodded her head yes at you and you smiled at her. “Good girl.” You said to her and she gave you a small smile then twisted her face in discomfort which worried you. “What’s wrong princess? Are you okay?” You asked her and she squirmed around, whimpering. You looked at her confused until you lifted her up in your arms and found that her bottom was squishy and warm. Nat was wearing a diaper.
“Did you have an accident babygirl?” You questioned her gently and she nodded slowly as she pouted. “Hey it’s okay. There’s nothing to be ashamed about. Let’s go get this yucky diaper off of you sweetie.” You said as you went to her room and changed her. After that, nat was back happy and lively. “Wan plays?” She asked you excitedly. “Sure princess!” You said happily and she giggled with excitement. She waddled over to you and grabbed your hand as she leads you to her playroom.
~ a few days later ~
After some time, Natasha was out of her headspace since she got called in go on a quick mission. When she came back, she needed to talk to you. “Thank you for taking care of me when I was in my headspace. It really means a lot but please don’t tell any of the team. The only person who knows it fury and that’s it. Well besides you.” She said and you nodded your head in understanding. “Of course nat. I absolutely love taking care of you and I promise I won’t tell anyone.” You reassured her and she gave you a thankful smile in return. You were so grateful that Natasha chosen you to be her caregiver and you couldn’t be happier. It’s you and your little spider against the world.
A/n: I hope the anon who requested this enjoys it and I hope everyone else does too! I have my own buy me a coffee page! You can give me a dollar and it will help. I also have some different commission types I will do so here’s my page to look into it :) https://www.buymeacoffee.com/naturesapphic Sorry it took so long. Requests are open for yeehaw!wanda, country!wanda, and any other southern variants of Wanda or Natasha! Remember to stay hydrated and to rest! I love y’all!

MCL NG Halloween event day 1 yapping 🎃
I really like the new event and how it works, so let's skip to the parts I DON'T like first!
I hateee that the different colors are limited to the event... Let me buy it whenever I want once it's unlocked omg!!! Especially since they're all SOOO expensive individually!! I definitely won't be able to play the next episode and I don't know for how long (Also because I'll be gone that weekend so even if I had the AP and Gems, I still would have to wait,, I'm consoled since the next EP for The Sims 4 is coming out Thursday and I'm eating that pack up but now we're going offtopic...)
I guess that it makes sense that they're "exclusive"... Since that's like the main way to get money
🐝: "Oh, you want different colors for this item? Too bad you either spend ALMOST 200 AP for something (which we know you dont have❤️ so pay us up❤️) or you have to wait another year!!"
Put me in jail for hoping and being delusional ig😔🙏🏻
I'm also just joking right now so don't take me too seriously but yeah,, I wasn't expecting everything to be cheap, BUT OMG !!! So EXPENSIVE and for WHAT?!? (I say, again, as if I don't know why already)
I also don't like how we only have two outfits and one paid outfit, I guess I should count the free gift as well since that makes it 4 and I'm okay with that?
It's also nice, we get a free outfit, then we get two more from the event and there's another extra for those who want to pay the price (me...)
I love the new eyes and mouth! Was really looking forward to getting more and these did not disappoint!! I also love how the bats have different variants... I got many... And they're priced 77AP so yeah don't ask me how I'm doing
I don't really like how the doll outfit's dress is only one piece tho :( It'll be hard to style that with other things but I shall do it anyway...
I was also hoping to get more short haircuts but the ones we got aren't bad at all and we definitely don't have anything like those already! I knew people wanted a longer curly wig so I hope you all enjoy it!!
And since I've moved from the things I hate let me pass to the things I've enjoyed (again?)
Like I said at the beginning, I like the new minigame and how it works, it's fun and quick too? I also like the way the points are given out (because it's easier to get many points than just a few)
The site's layout is nice, I like the new colors and I also really like the new rooms we get!! (Somewhat offtopic from the layout but I just remembered lol) I haven't unlocked anything so far from the F2P room, but I love the vampire-themed one! (oh well of course I do, I'm one myself after all...)
Last thing that comes to mind are the Illustrations and scenes! I've only played Amanda's and Jason's so far, but I enjoyed both (Amanda's more too!!)
The illustrations are MESMERIZING (I'm looking at you again, Amanda!!!!) I've only seen the other ones quickly from other people's posts and the third one that looked really good to me was Thomas's! Roy's and Devon's didn't particularly catch my interest, IDK what's going on in those so I'll have to wait and see!
I love all of the LI's costumes so much too!! My favorites probably being Thomas and Devon because they fit surprisingly well!
I wasn't that sure about Vampire!Amanda but she's sooo gorgeous like!! Her platinum blonde hair fits very well... I'm glad I'm getting back into her 😭❤️🙏🏻
Honestly you can't be surprised that I like almost everything since it's an Halloween event, I'm also cutting this short (as if it's not a long af post already) because I have to get ready for work...
Let me know what you all think of it so far! I'm always going in with 0 expectations so that's my trick to never get disappointed (See where the only thing I wish we had was the permanent items in the wardrobe and that's like the main thing I was disappointed in? That's what I mean)

*slides in and bites lip* hayy....
so irl stuff happened but we've been cooking up some stuff here and there and we figured you guys might wanna see them :D
so we're gonna talk about the second dreamtale concept we have which is a variant of the swap!osd au by @calcium-cat,,,, and basically! nm has a harsher personality, but at the same time holds a much softer spot for dream. He fights back against his bullies and believes that dream is too kind and tells him so often using scathing comments, but dream understands that nm is just a little tsun tsun. Nm is also proud of all the knowledge he has cultivated and makes sure to rub it in peoples faces by delivering sick burns and insulting bullies left and right
For the apple incident, the apples blacken when nm and the villagers fight over the tree and he accidentally touches one of the fruits. Dream arrives in time to see the villagers dealing the fatal blow to nm as well as the tree
Desperate, dream feeds a black apple to nm hoping that it would still be able to heal him but instead intensifies nm's negativity. This later on will be the biggest factor behind dream's guilt
Nm is still dying so his negativity powers him to continue consuming the apples but he keeps going and the power eventually corrupts him
Now nm wants to get revenge so dream takes the last golden apple (this one fell from the tree while the tree was being cut, before the negativity got to it) to have more of a fighting chance and to better protect the people against nm, but he still gets petrified like in canon (or maybe we'll just put him in a coma induced by the intense negativity... i dont really understand the logic behind him turning to stone so we might toss out that idea) (we're open to suggestions though!)
Nm's adrenaline powered mind sees dream's petrified/knocked out self and goes mad, going on a rampage and destroying the entire village.
Of course, 500 years later, dream wakes up and joins ink's group. Ink actually asked sci to make something up that could weaken nightmare's gang but forgets about it, so the formula somehow ends up in dream's hands as the unofficial second in command. Dream, ever the guilt-ridden but hope-filled person, tests it out first on nm. Maybe, this could buy him just enough time to hold a civil conversation with him... imagine everyone's surprise when the lofty scholar-type king turns into a filthy mouthed baby gremlin
#kickspost#ellenpost#michipost#sorry if the pencil doodles look bad#our phone got stolen so we've lost our ibis privileges#NOOOOOOO#anyway we've been rotating concepts for weeks#we also have an undertale au in the works#in fact we wanted to talk about all three of our au concepts#but this one already got so long#maybe next time#rides away in our hello kitty bike#dreamtale au#undertale au#dream sans#nightmare sans#maybe we should also tag this with#OSD#one small dream#hoo boy tag overload#papple art

okay idk i don’t have any strong feelings about taylor swift and mostly i like her music (not really the last album tho) and i hate how often i see her name but i just learned that there’s over 30 variants of the record she put out literally less than one year ago and that’s just fucking crazy
like idk i know the theory that she’s blocking chappell roan from some chart thing idk i dont know how all of that works and i’m not mad about that but it is soooooo funny to be taylor swift and know that your 16 year old die-hard fans will absolutely buy every variant of one record that they can get their hands on like i wonder how much money the average swiftie has spent on this single record lol

im probably considering my magic mixies pixlings collection complete as of today! even tho im missing 3 dolls, im not sure i want to get the rest for a couple reasons
2 that im missing are the walmart exclusive supreme and and the common variant Luna, but idk if i wanna buy those since they're SO expensive and i dont want more big mirrors just lying around
and the 3rd im missing ill probably never get, bc its the limited edition Unia that they only made 1000 of lol
but i feel like my shelf looks very satisfying as of rn so im happy with it :3

(scared) What... what happens if Grian explains right off the bat when he's found out? (shaking)
in reference to the tags of this ask
So like. A really huge part of what Scar's plan entails in canon-- and yes, it's Scar doing this partially on purpose-- is the inherent kindness of the hermits. You bring a starving, dying man back into the fold, and you can absolutely bet that the VAST majority of hermits will at LEAST let him stay until he's healthier again. This is a deliberate move on Scar's part!!! The urgency of the situation (plus the familiarity) creates more of an incentive to let Grian in and then let him linger, which gives him a chance to grow his roots again and make up with the hermits. Scar wants him home again, permanently, and in this game its basically ALL about buying time.
So what happens when you take away that sense of "he's gonna die if we dont keep him here" urgency?? Well...
Well, in an au where Grian fessed up instantly abt the starving and making games when confronted, there's a lot more room to think about it. In some ways, hunger!Grian's canonical reaction to shut down and just let them furiously throw them out was a lot kinder and ultimately worked to his advantage-- nobody got any answers, so they started looking. People are more willing to talk to him if only to understand why. There's a clear element of "i was just doing this to survive and i feel fucking horrible about it" that is,,, pretty undeniable when you've got the person in question self-harming pretty severely about it. And yes, there's pity. Not always a bad thing, and in this case thats the element Scar is deliberately tugging on to make Grian's stay a bit more palatable until he can reintegrate himself
But when you have time to think about it, without that immediate evidence, without that sense of raw urgency sorta blanketing everything so people dont question as much-- what you get is a more measured, and ultimately more negative outlook. The hermits OF COURSE take the time to help Grian figure out how to feed without using people's emotions. They're kind like that. They do care. But theres now more time to think about this, more time to decide yeah, thats valid, sure, but he still used us and hurt a lot of us and also we didnt consent.
Essentially, what im getting at here is that in a hunger au variant where Grian fesses up immediately, the hermits do help him figure out a way to feed without relying on others... and then when thats all sorted out, a vote is called, and Grian is politely but firmly requested to leave. So he loses them anyway, and without the benefit of a mystery to help bring him back.
Thats not to say the vote wasnt awfully divided, there were plenty of people who were at the very least okay with him staying. But with more time and less distance to think things out, a lot of the folks who fall into the "wary but willing to hear him out" category in canon (i have a whole chart fiejfjdj) ended up moving to the "we dont want him here" side of things because they found themselves understandably uncomfortable with the situation and the harm caused by it to others. To their friends.
Basically, its enough of a majority vote to get Grian kicked anyway and without an opening to return. And in this au, i dont think he would return. The au as i have it outlined is that Grian ends up spending years alone on a singleplayer world, falling into his grief and into the rote cycle of surviving but not thriving, until Iskall (one of the people who wanted him to stay) meets him in a market hub and eagerly gets back in touch with him.
Its very much one of those aus that really SQUEEZES your heart, bc its about the loneliness, and the emptiness of losing your entire community, and knowing it is your fault. Its about what happens when you fully isolate because of guilt and forget what its like to be happy because you wont LET yourself be happy. And its about relearning what its like to be a person instead of personified misery. The recovery in that au is SO much harder, so much of a more difficult road (which is saying smth considering canon's is already super difficult), and takes a lot more time and effort on Grian's part. Its a good au, one im really sinking my teeth into and chattering about in dms, but my gods is it significantly worse in many ways to canon hunger au
#shouting speaks#asks#hunger au#its actually so fucking tragic like. thinking abt the ways you can sink into your grief and forget what its like to LIVE#and ofc bc its me grian is also suicidal in this au. but theres less purpose and less energy to it#which is like. a very insidious form of suicidal ideation bc it permeates EVERYTHING#anyway yeah thats THAT hunger au variant and it makes me crazy /pos smth abt the ache of it all. man.#also dgmw abt scar like he is very genuine in his distress and fear for grian#but like listen. this man knows how to seize an opportunity and getting grian back is smth he is prepared to fight dirty for#immediate answers au#txt

a lot of artists do the "releasing 500 exclusive collector vinyls to boost their chart placements and also make more money" thing these days (olivia rodrigo's GUTS had about nine i think) but taylor is really bad for it. 1989 taylor's version has (i believe) vinyls in five different colors, four variant CDs, the original CD and the casette tape. that's eleven different physical releases, and a diehard fanbase in the millions willing to purchase them all. this is a rerelease of an existing album with some bonus tracks, not even fully new material.
but again this is becoming an industry wide problem and it's just. dont buy into it man. dont buy five versions of the same album.

not sure how many of you have heard about the billie eyelash and tswift beef but ftr i align with billie on this one… its just really gross and money hungry to make dozens of 'variant' albums with slightly different song selections so ur fans will have to buy several if they want to listen to every song you release. thats not the same as putting out different colors of the same album either lol like the actual substance of the record is the same, its just a different color for decorative reasons. you dont have to buy a red and a blue album to hear both the songs you like

taylor i love your music but im sick and tired of this marketing strategy. we dont have the money to buy several different variants of the same album just cause it has one new bonus song.
there's this thing called a deluxe album i dont know if you've forgotten how those work but it's when you add several bonus songs to a record, you can release the deluxe and make a vinyl with all of those instead of depriving fans of new music for months sometimes a year just to get vinyl sales. im so tired of this and it gives such money hungry vibes you're already a billionare you don't need to be doing this and the thing is it's practically the same print for all the variants just release the damn album photoshoot.
you will see me pirating those songs proudly everyday cause girl i ain't no millionaire.

the way taylor is selling so many different versions of an album before it even comes out (like twenty different versions of midnights and now it seems with ttpd as well), im starting to wonder if thats like, considered normal now? i dont really listen to any other popular big name artists like her so idk, was wondering what your perspective on it might be since you listen to more artists that are similar to her i think. it strikes me as soo weird and greedy but i dont really see other people getting big mad about it, the majority of fans i see are excited about it and trying to get every version, its just so confusing to me.
i think it is a normal thing, but not to the extent she's doing it. most artists just release a few vinyl variants and that's it. she's releasing the variants as entire 'new' versions and also selling CDs of each 'version'. The 'new versions' aren't new or different at all, just a new lackluster cover and 1 new song included that will be posted online within seconds of release. so nothing's really new and she knows that, which is why they're advertised as 'new and different versions' because that makes it sound like they are and gives more incentive to buy all of them.
and i know the 'she's not forcing you to buy them' excuse fans use and yes that's true, but it's still... icky to me. she's overdoing it to an obvious extent at the cost of people whose entire life savings and bank accounts are pocket change to her. and the only reason there are people in the fandom who have no problem with it is because it's Taylor who does no wrong, they've defended her being a climate criminal, not speaking up about Palestine, and a billionaire.... they don't think she crossed a line because they do not have any moral ground to draw the line on in the first place.

which of the reincarnation girls would be able to solve a speed cube? I dont know what the name is in english but it is where you have to spin the cube to match all the colored on one side
It is just a speed cube, same thing. Though the most common brand/variant is the Rubik’s cube.
Isabela and Luisa would definitely both try, probably competing against each other. Fail/become impatient with not getting anywhere, get mad and destroy the cube. And then the cycle starts all over again when they get a new one.
Mirabel wouldn’t particularly care - she doesn’t deal with children’s toys, in her words. Which is funny as she is the one with the patience to solve it, if only she cared enough to start.
Dolores would claim she wasn’t interested, but secretly spends sleepless hours trying to solve the damn thing just to prove a point to Isabela and Luisa. Eventually looks up how to solve it on the internet or just buys a new/pre-solved one and claims she did it.
