I’VE GOT AN INTERVIEW FOR THE BRANCH MANAGER POSITION I APPLIED FOR ON THE 5TH.

perusing the anti ts tag has restored my faith in humanity after having to scroll past far too many blocked posts on my dash today lmao

I find it really funny that porn bots follow me, the reason why is because I'm Asexual & don't care about having sex irl.

I just see one of em & I chuckle internally then block em.

Imagine an mlp infection au, but it only affects the princesses.

I do like the running theme in art/fics that Twilight accidentally unleashes something while researching, but imagine if Celestia is the one to do so. Maybe she's looking into some older tombs that were found and sent to her, but the contents in them are off. She realizes something is wrong when her body is weak and magic fading, alongside such a fierce hunger... that she locks herself in her chambers to try to undo whatever malignant force tainted those pages.

As she gets worse, she becomes more aware of the ponies down in her kingdom and grows hungrier.

She sends Twilight a letter apologizing and begging her to stay away, to protect her ponies from their own princess. Celestia is about to send Luna an identical one, alongside a way to stop her, but it's too late.

The sun doesn't set that day, and it would not for a long time.

Luna goes to investigate, fearing another potential foe may have hurt her sister except as she uses her magic to unseal the chambers the reality is much worse. It doesn't take long for her to become infected, as she tries to reason with her, believing her elder sister is still present, but all there is is a rotting husk.

Canterlot doesn't stand a chance as the two goddesses descend onto them.

The rest of the au is Twilight and Cadence trying to stop them, protect everyone else, while also trying to avoid the infection, and for plot convenience, Discord takes Fluttershy to his little side dimension for safety so Twilight is forced to learn how to lower the sun to avoid their side of the planet burning/the other side freezing.

I'm still in early s7! So, like I've seen others do, it would be better for it to take place around season 4, I think? Unsure, but on a separate note - one of my absolutely favorite infected Princess Celestia designs has to be one by @/velvetzienz on Instagram because it legit made me lose sleep, lmao.

finished watching cub's s6 last night and that was so much fun. i know it's scarily long but if you want a new perspective of s6 or maybe haven't seen it before i'd totally recommend watching cub - he built so much cool stuff, games and technical stuff and so much just for the sake of storytelling too! the civil war, area 77, all the golf (he's so excited about the golf guys i'm telling you it's awesome to see), the rise of concorp, demise (cub was insane in demise like oh my god)... there's so much and it is so cool

putting some random screenshots i took while watching here :D

when you wake up high and spend your day giving rage bolus after rage bolus in a desperate attempt to normalize your blood sugar and the boluses finally catch up and you have to chug apple juice to keep from passing out

I’m surprised by how few people appreciate Sam's arc and how many erase him being Jack’s dad in season 13? Setting up how his powers effect him in season 12 with Magda was like FINALLY the writers give a crap instead of being lazy and forgetting his trauma and potential as a witch. Sam helping with Jack’s powers was important for them both! Sam was there since day one and made an effort bc he didnt want his son to feel scared and confused like he did.

So, the poppy playtime brainrot finally has me writing something because those silly critters have such a chokehold on me right now. I adore the thought of player taking DogDay along and CatNap being even more hellbent on killing them to get him back (seen a few fics portray this wonderfully) and want to give it a shot!

Yea I do think I'm going to get backyard baseball 2010... for research. Yea.

The controls for 2007 on pc are insufferable.

2010's controls are as well but that's because wii. I remember it being pretty fun anyway.

I read the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series for the first time in 2010

I was 18/19 at the time and definitely not the target demographic for the novels, but I was HOOKED from the first page.

I flew through the first five books as fast as I could, as well as the sequel series, Heroes of Olympus, as fast as it was releasing at the time.

Outside of the main Percy and friends narration, I haven't read much of Rick Riordan's work, but I'm trying to change that. I've owned the Kane Chronicles since release, and Magnus Chase was added to my collection over time. With the recent addition of the Trials of Apollo box set, I've finally completed my collection (yes, I'm including Chalice of the Gods and The Sun and the Star) and can't wait to read my way through the Riordan-verse once again.

From December to the beginning of February, I picked my way through Percy Jackson and the Olympians, and while I can't find a clear timeline of the whole universe, I found a few blogs that say The Kane Chronicles should come next, so here we are.

My 32-year-old self is enjoying the magic and mystery of these books as much as I did in my teens and twenties, I'm not going to lie. People may shy away from books in the Young Readers category, but they're just as (if not more) entertaining as any Young Adult, New Adult, or General Fiction book I've ever read.

I implore anyone who likes fantasy fiction to give the books a try, especially if you're looking for something lighter and fast paced.

So I saw a job posting for what is basically exactly what I do, only difference being supervising a few more staff (and them being full time it seems like vs my part timers), for more pay at the start than I make now 5 years in. In Washington. Not the coast, but still. A step closer to where I want to be.

And a part of me is not sure I should do it - I have projects and plans in place for the next several months I want to see happen. Moving to a whole other state when I’m as broke as I am, and my parents depend on my financials and… it’s a lot.

But also I feel like it’d be a shame to not try. To not take a bit of a leap.

I don’t agree with my Cousin A, I’m not someone that is in a position and with the life advantages he has had to “just trust the universe” and expect everything to work out exactly as I need it. But I think I do need to start doing things without waiting for everything to be just so, without waiting for the “perfect” situation/setup/moment.

The application deadline is Tuesday. I figure Sunday before my concert I’ll work on filling it out, refreshing my resume from a couple years ago, etc.

So… we’ll see. Maybe I’ll chicken out and not apply. Maybe I will. Maybe I’ll get and interview, maybe not. Just going to have to - not trust the universe, but trust that I can handle this situation, however it shakes out. Not easy for me but - I hope I’ll be brave enough to try.

something that genuinely changed fic writing for good for me and made things so much easier was realizing that you can just write That One Scene. that one scene from something bigger you keep rotating in your head over and over? you can write that. you don't have all the plot and stuff around it worked out? you're not sure you'll ever figure out the full plot? or there isn't really any plot but it feels like there should be? doesn't matter, you can write just that one scene. add some subtle context if you feel like it to explain the story a little. or don't! make it a series of separate scenes within a story if you want to. that scene that lives rent-free in your head can be written (and posted!) just as it is, it doesn't need a big story around it if you don't feel like it
