#JUST DONT BUY THE VARIANTS

[djarinova]

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...

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

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 😂

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.

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!

*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

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

[thejonymyster]

It's that time again! What's your favorite game you played this year?

games i played of the last ? go

Maxwell's puzzling demon

its good difficult sokoban havent beat it dont know a lot yet - completed the demo, devious and very cool to discover all parts of. has big obvious meta elements

Rabbit and Steel

bullethell roguelike with interesting build options and no nonsense (isaac for example is the same but with yes nonsense) and lots of different classes and build options and difficulties - MULTIPLAYER SUPPORT very fun a lot more fun to play with multiplayer but ok to play alone - and an interesting but not invasive storyline progression and plenty of fun silly mods available

Tabletop Simulator

been playing a 1kbwc and creating and drawing cards for it has been fun

Chiki's Chase

free but you can pay to support dev no ads either way two button run and gun with cool mechanics and build options and a few different and interesting goals to strive for during runs (as well as just surviving and going far)

Nine Sols

awesome game "sekiro like"?? its a 2d platformer with a focus on combat and parrying and it feels GOOD to hit parry timings and explode your enemies with your fists and sword basically

fucked up storyline. very touching stuff - has adjustable difficulty to help experience

Garbanzo Quest (demo)

its really good its a platformer but it just feels rlly good even though you go pretty damn slow i definitely am thinking of buying the full cause i played the demo and i just kept wanting more levels lol its just damn-well put together

Teeth

I made a game - rule discovery minesweeper variant with a pause menu that allows you to adjust which rules are in play / difficulty so you can teach yourself the mechanics. experimental, so for some people it really hits and for some people it bounces right off. had a lot of bugs in early release and puzzle sharing still has a lot of unfortunate bugs but the main gameplay for a single player is fully functional on desktop and mobile - play here:

(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

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.

[chaosmenu]

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

[phighting-bean-husbandry]

BC anon... Again....

I went out to buy Eggsquerade a fit bed for him, came back to him straight up napping on my bed, snuggled up against my gear.. (Both me and my brother have music related gears, so i thoughtd it'd make sense they'd spark some interest in him.) Thankfully he wasn't full on grabbing onto it and i managed to take it off his paws without waking him up.

The poor guy was probably cold, our apartment is usually very chilly due to us recently moving from Blackrock, and still getting used to the weather in crossroads, i should probably set the settings on my AC a bit..less cold.

Would you recommend getting him some company? Im not used to playing with pets and stuff since i never really had any, but i could play with him a bit after work... That if i dont have to perform anywhere at night.

Thats all for now, just wanted to update you on how the little guy's doing, hope you dont mind. Thank you, again.

I'm glad Eggsquerade seems to be doing well! It makes sense that the little guy would get cold--as a Boombox variant, they tend to be a bit more used to Playground's climate.

As for company: if you feel like you can, it'd certainly be nice. Eggsqeurades are a bit more isolated than a standard Boombox, but they won't pass up good company! Another bean to interact with could certainly keep his mood up and mischief low.

[sophiesonlinediary]

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.

[thegreatimpersonator]

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.

[thebadwitch]

I really dont mind paying a bit more for a vinyl but 60?

Girl I am not made out of moneyyyy

right!!! i get that it’s 2 albums essentially but i wish she would of sold it as just the anthology tracks for a standard price of £30-40 or whatever, knowing the most ppl already have a copy (or 4 🙄) of the first half of the album… which will now be obsolete?

like obviously no one is forced to buy all the different variants but i feel like its way too much
