Question for Henry, when the springlocks fail, do other oarts of the sistem fail aswell? Like the music box?

Well in the springlock suits, the springlocks are incredibly sensitive! Which means small triggers can set them off. Um- don't be alarmed though! Bumping into a table won't trigger them, however say falling in the suit would. There is a small music box in all of the suits! And yes, long story short the music box would be crushed in the incident. Luckily this has never happened before and we take safety very safely here! -Henry Emily

because leah looks closer to book annabeth than alexandria daddario

because book annabeth has a deep tan

because mixed families exist

because you don’t have to be biologically related to someone to be their cousin

because annabeth is never explicitly called white

because melanesian people exist

because there’s this one scene in tbol where percy is obsessing over how good annabeths curls look and it would be sooo cute if leah wore her natural hair in that season

BECAUSE LEAH IS A DAMN GOOD ACTRESS AND I WOULDNT WANT ANYONE ELSE PLAYING ANNABETH

tbh I’ll always be a little salty about the fact that there’s like 10 flagged and obvious parallels that frame Birdie as being a more sympathetic version of Liliana. and yet

HC: gotham is basically night vale but metropolitan. actually, it's even weirder than night vale -- the entire city is thoroughly haunted, for one. it's not known exactly what percentage of those who walk the streets at night (or in broad daylight) are non-corporeal entities, but every gothamite has at least one ghost encounter story, bare minimum.

the ghosts are as varied as the residents themselves -- some look the same as they did in the moment of their death while some can pass as living humans and are even solid to the touch, some can possess the living, some are residual hauntings stuck in a loop, etc.

the city also seems to be partially sentient -- or the architecture, at least. the gargoyles are frequently found in positions that are unmistakably different than the ones they were in yesterday. and not everyone knows this, but if you engage them in conversation, they'll whisper city secrets into your ear. the buildings shift and morph, moving streets and changing their shapes and interior designs randomly.

this can be beneficial to residents, but it's unpredictable -- the city might suddenly grow a fully-furnished hideout in part of an abandoned building that aids a costumed crook in hiding from their pursuer, but it would just as soon form an opening in an alley wall that subsumes the villain when they enter.

time is also wonky; it's distinctly non-linear and different periods bleed into each other, whether that be in the form of cultural anachronisms or entire human beings temporarily (or permanently!) shifting twenty years into the future. some theorize that gotham has multiple timelines running concurrently; since that would be one explanation as to why gothamites so often disagree on when, how, and even if certain events occurred.

there are other entities, of course; hundreds of them. the liquid shadows that manifest from the dark corners of alleys, healing broken bones and ruptured organs, saving people from dying like dogs in the street. seemingly non-sentient but still unnatural artifacts like books that seem to impart knowledge far beyond what their pages could reasonably contain -- books that no librarian ever seems to know the exact origins of. people who try to catalogue the anomalies tend to disappear under dubious circumstances -- so few are inclined to try, at this point. it's just an accepted part of life.

it really means the world to me that little 12 year old daigo mentions that kiryu used to hang out with him a lot, meaning a teenage kiryu (and likely a teenage nishiki as well) basically babysat an even younger daigo on the reg for some amount of time. i wonder what shenanigans they got up to

I'm fatigued, my back hurts, I accidentally spent like 3 hours sat downstairs in a chair that made our back feel worse because our executive dysfunction prevented me getting up and going back upstairs even though I only went down there to get one thing, and now I really need to lay down but if I accidentally fall asleep again I feel like I'll wake up, realise I fell asleep and also that I feel like I wasted a big chunk of the day, and I'll end up feeling even worse again

@mcltiples sent: [KNIFE] sender uses a knife to rip receiver's clothes { To Evil Rick from Weird Rick >:D }

There were a lot of things that Rick found fascinating about his partner. Some more entertaining, others more frustrating, but all undoubtedly worth his interest and attention. Even when he wasn't directly involved, he liked to watching, observing the other going through his motions, speeches, choices, hows and whys with the same focus he usually reserved exclusively to his experiments.

His alternate's mood were one of Rick's favourite phenomena to monitor. They were so volatile, and mostly unpredictable. They could be as explosive as the weapons the man enjoyed building or as subtle as a the light twitch of an eye. They jumped from an emotion to the other, always close to the extremes, always shying away from mildness.

He could tell that his partner wasn't being honest with his feelings whenever they were played out with strict moderation or calm.

However, this didn't mean, as one could think, that apathy was something unknown to his alternate. It was a rare show to witness, but it did happen. Just as everything else, it was deep, absolute, totalising, and it required a very special, very careful handling.

That, though, wasn't the situation at hand. Rick wasn't dealing with one of his partner's most violent moods, whether on the heated side of anger or with the ice cold quality of pure detachment. The other seemed to be in a quite cheerful mood, lively and playful, with a clear side of mischief.

And, of course, lustful too, judging by the way his alternate had shoved him into the closest wall and was assaulting his neck with his teeth and tongue. Judging by the viciousness of the attack, by the time their encounter ended, he would have sported quite the collection of bruises.

One of those hands was insistently grabbing at the front of his shirt, alternating pulling at it and pressing against his chest, as if to make sure that Rick's back would remain firstly pinned against the wall.

His partner's other hand was somewhere by his side, oddly not trying to touch him as he would have expected, and the reason for it became instantly clear when the sound of cloth ripping filled the air between them without a warning. Oh, so this was the game of the day.

The blade was so sharp that it cut through the fabric as if it had been melting butter and nicked the flesh underneath, drawing a steady red line from the top of Rick's sternum to the line of his navel. Thick droplets of blood gushed out of the wound, their warmth in contrast with the cool air of the underground hideout.

Rick's only reaction was a raised eyebrow, conveying the barest hint of judgement. He didn't mind the sting of the wound since pain had little meaning to him nowadays. If something, under the right circumstances he could even appreciate the way it lit up his nerves, forcing his whole being to feel connected, even if just briefly, with the universe that surrounded him.

In a different situation, he would have given into the urge of voicing what his gaze was already hinting at, but his partner seemed delighted and even more turned on by his handiwork. He could tell by the way the other was leaning more heavily into it, hard, hot and solid against Rick's thigh. Those hips were moving, slow and almost imperceptibly, seeking from his body a hint of satisfaction that could take the edge off.

How could he deny this pleasure to the man who owed each and every atom of him?

His features relaxed back into a more neutral expression and he let his nape rest against the wall, focusing on the feeling of that tongue teasingly lapping at the cut. His alternate's hand had slipped under the torn shirt, wrapping itself around his side, tight and possessive.

Rick's fingers found their way in the other's hair, tugging sharply at those blue locks and using them to press that face more into his chest. He wanted to smear his partner's chin and cheekbones with his blood, so that he could lick it off later.

A hum rumbled in his chest, as the knife worked to get rid of his belt and slash through his trousers, leaving behind more stinging cuts. Clothes could be easily replaced, he mused, distractedly registering the fabric falling off him piece by piece, until he was left bare for his partner's eyes to feast on.

This man who had made himself into a god and the twisted, unbreakable thread that linked them together? It was one of a kind even in a universe made of infinite realities.

Oh my god he thinks I'm boring doesn't he. He doesn't find me interesting and talking to me feels like a chore im going to kms

[twomanyfandomshelp]

Exactly.

The word queer literally means “strange or different”. Queer people are queer because they are different from traditional ideas of sexuality or gender in some way, shape, or form.

Gays and lesbians are different because they’re attracted to members of the same sex as them.

Bisexuals and pansexuals are different because they’re attracted to multiple genders.

Transgender and nonbinary folks are different because they identify with a gender other than the one they were assigned at birth.

IT’S THE SAME FOR ASPECS!!!

Asexuals are different because they experience sexual attraction differently than most people or not at all.

Aromantics are different because they experience romantic attraction in a way that is not considered “normal”.

Agender folks are different because they perceive gender in a nontraditional sense or feel they don’t have a gender.

Aplatonics are different because they don’t have traditional platonic feelings and relationships.

The only “requirement” to be considered queer is to differ from the traditional ideas of sexuality, love, and gender.

So why are aspec people not considered “valid” members of the LGBTQIA+ community to the point where so many people think the A stands for ALLY?! THE A STANDS FOR ASPEC WHICH INCLUDES ASEXUAL, AROMANTIC, AGENDER, AND APLATONIC!!!

Don’t you ever let anyone try to tell you that you’re not valid. If you’ve known your sexuality/gender for years now and you’re comfortable with it and who you are, you’re valid. If you’ve only just recently figured out your sexuality/gender and you feel so much lighter and freer and comfortable, you’re valid. If you recently figured out your sexuality/gender and it has you reeling and confused and scared, you’re valid. If you choose not to use a label and that’s what makes you happy and comfortable, you’re valid. If you have no idea what your sexuality/gender is, and that’s terrifying, you’re valid. If you have no idea what your sexuality/gender is and you don’t really care because you love yourself anyway, you’re valid. If you’re out to everyone and very open about your sexuality, you’re valid. If you’re not out to a single soul and hide your queer identity, you’re valid. Whatever your situation may be, you’re valid.

Happy pride month everyone, I love you 🫶🏼

Saw a post that made me furious yesterday so if people STILL don't understand this:

Aspec people are queer.

And no, it's not our love that makes us queer, it's our LACK of certain types of love that make us queer.

There is of course aspec people who are queer both because of their love and their lack of love, but being aspec is queer because of the lack of love.

Saying "but aspecs love too! Their love is also important! Aro and ace people have love and their love is also important!" is not the support you think it is for a lot of aspec people.

My love for my mother isn't what makes me queer. My love for my friends isn't what makes me queer. It's my lack or romantic love that makes me queer. Yea love is important to me, especially platonic love, but that is not what makes me queer.

And let's not forget about loveless aros.

For the love of god stop going "but aros love too!" just so you can relate to us somehow or just so you can include us. We don't need love to be included.

And because some people are going to take this as a personal attack: no, there is nothing wrong with being gay. There is nothing wrong with love is love. Love is important to a lot of people and I am not saying love is bad.

Happy pride everyone

"Surely there was a better way to convey this information" probably! That may be why I'm no longer asked to contribute to our social media page at work!

But its that season again and i want to remind everyone that just because an object is vest-shaped and floats does not make it a lifejacket. Only a Coast Guard approved PFD is tested and rated to save your life. Here's an example of what I'm talking about:

This...thing pops up in searches for "child's inflatable lifejacket" and bills itself as such. But scroll down and we find an explanation:

In contrast to life vests meant to keep your head above water, our vest enables you to swim smoothly with your head in the water. It keeps you buoyant longer for a safe and enjoyable experience - without worry of surprise riptides or fatigue.

Catch that? This thing is not intended to and will not keep your head above water, the single most important thing a personal flotation device should do. What if you are in a riptide and fatigued while wearing this thing and not longer able to keep your breathing hole above the water's surface? You're shit out of luck. You drown.

Consumers may notice that there is a warning notice on the back, but the good people at Amazon have cleverly obscured it. We can still make out "does not protect [...] drowning". If your waterwings, floaties, or vest-shaped inflatable have a disclaimer like this then they are not rated to safe your life, your child's life, your dog's life, whatever!

By contrast, every Coast Guard approved PFD has labeling like this:

It will clearly say USGC approved and have an approval number. It will say WHO it is rated for (infant, child, youth, adult), the size (small, medium large), an upper weight limit, and generally what kind of recreation its approved for (near shore versus offshore etc). It will give you instructions for proper use and signs that your lifejacket is nearing the end of its utility and needs to be replaced.

Not all personal flotation devices are suited for all activities. Whitewater kayaking and deep-sea fishing need more specialized gear than a day at the lake. But you should have, at minimum, a correctly-sized, well-fitting, CG approved PFD in serviceable condition for any kind of activity on or near the water. Have it, but most importantly, wear it!!!!!
