I'm now seriously considering buying a cheap Windows 11 PC/laptop in the Amazon Prime Day sale to take up the slack of the basic stuff my OMFG-costly top-of-the-range MacOS laptop can't or won't do. Like talk to my external hard drives without a translator and several mystic incantations followed by a blood sacrifice. Or write to the external drives I've set up specifically for Mac directly from an FTP download so I can download backups bigger than my current SSD. (more grumpiness behind cut).

"There used to be an app to work around that" is the only response I can get from tech support forums. And yes, there used to be. I used to be able to install Windows on a Mac as dual boot if I felt like it, and assumed I'd be able to when I bought this thing. Then M1 came along and an amazing number of things that I used to be able to do on a current Mac, with a bit of effort, became undoable overnight. New and improved!

Apple's tech is so, so sexy and alluring, and manufactured like a brick privvy compared to its rivals' flimsy build (which is why I bought one), but by god it isn't fully functional if you do more than blog and browse using one app at a time. We don't need added AI assistance and stalking, you hear me, Apple? We need the ability to perform basic functions on demand like Windows and Linux and Android do, and talk nicely to other OSes and their file systems so I can move my own data around whenever and wherever I like, 'kay? Play nicely with others or go home, Apple.

My toxic trait is that I wholeheartedly believe that social media would be a better place if there was an option to report people that repost art

[danger-days-confessions]

not enough Show Pony confessions on here that don't relate to another character (especially them being in a romantic relationship with said other character) anyways time for my headcanons rant:

Show Pony is the biggest zones gossip, they do roller derby when they're not news running for Dr. D, he's chronically ill and that won't stop him from skating til he collapses every day, she has sensory adversities especially around food which in the Zones is certified hell, xe sometimes goes over to the diner specifically to use the Girl's electricity powers so xe can straighten xeir hair, yes xeir hair is fried no xey don't care, ze is poly and has multiple crushes all the time and suffers, they aren't trying to be a "good role model", he can take care of the girl but is not the mom friend, she's city born, they're trans but you don't get to know their AGAB because it isn't important and only cops care, xey use whatever pronouns are the most confusing/a mash of everything feys heard, nym will hip check crowds to get that fucking chocolate bar so help nym Witch and re won't apologize, they're not mean they really do care but if it's a stranger all niceties go out the window. They complain and they growl and their emotions are real and raw and they will scream and kick and bite. But they are still soft. and some of that rage melts away around those they love and hold dear. and sometimes their anger turns into tears and they need to be held. They're only human after all.

write show pony with the complexity you like to write the rest of the killjoys with please 👍 I need to stop seeing headcanons that can be summed up with "She's tranfem and the mom friend and she romantically loves one 'joy and that's it"

also this isn't to attack anyone, I understand if you just don't put the time into writing out their character, they're not your favorite, you don't have complex headcanons for any of the killjoys, etc. but sometimes I'd like to see people add more to their character! add just a bit more!!! add a little spice to that headcanon!!!!! MAKE THEM LESS BLAND!!!! they have the least amount of canon of all the characters! do something cool and interesting and new with that fact!!!!

Hey, Nym, are you okay? I'm so sorry someone was ableist with one of your (amazing) hcs 🥺 I'm here if you wanna talk about what happened. But no pressure ♡

I debated answering this one publicly. Debated answering this one at all. Because sure, for all my playful kvetching, my passionate rants about why the things I like are cool and people shouldn't be dicks about it, and my occasional relatable depression text post reblog, I don't get negative on here. It's kind of my thing, or at least I like to think it is. I love to think my brand on here is that weird, positive autistic girl who is completely obsessed with Poe Dameron, and I also like to think it's a well earned brand. You don't stay on this bullshit for three years if you're normal.

So yeah, debated answering it because I didn't want to post the honest answer, but honestly this is a shitty situation, and it's important, so I am: I'm not okay.

I won't go into details, because contrary to what some clowns may believe I don't vague post (oh, oops, guess I just did a little), or at least if I kind of do, it's usually vaguing behaviors I see spread across multiple parts of a fandom, but I will talk about what it's like to be disabled and in fandom. What it is like to be autistic and in fandom.

I'm on Tumblr because it's a space where I can have a little dragon hoard of my special interest. It's where I can infodump about it. It's a space where I don't have to mask (much). In 2020, I jumped feet first into a certain special interest because life was shit and it made me happy. For every shitty take, every negative opinion I was hit with, I threw out more positive creations. I wrote. I giffed. I meta-ed to my heart's content and I was so fucking happy.

Then it....became a thing. I don't mind, as previously mentioned, my brand being that girl weirdly obsessed with a fictional pilot who isn't that popular outside of his fanon ships from a trilogy that this website loathes with as many burning suns as I hate - I don't even know something I hate that much. Anyway, I didn't mind that. But suddenly I became a wikipedia search bar. And....for the first little while, I didn't mind. Because I got to infodump about him, and I don't get to infodump irl, and my friends had heard plenty. And besides, I liked helping people! I like pointing people in the right direction of things.

But like I said. It became a thing. People were comfortable dm-ing me questions, getting mad about the answers I had, and sending back their own headcanons to contradict them. I got praised a lot for....having a special interest and being passionate about that subject. It started to feel a little bit...weird. But then I started realizing that people mostly only talked to me when they needed information from me, and that felt. Awful. It made me feel used just a little bit, and I took a step back from fandom because of it and some other mental health issues I was having.

(apparently if you're autistic this means you're 'distant')

But I wanted to keep creating, because making stuff makes me happy, and I'm autistic and I want a space to be autistic, and don't always want to (I know it does not bother you, but still) bother my friends with it, because there's loads of other conversations to have.

Fandom is more isolated now, but I feel that more keenly as someone who is disabled and audhd. Characters I relate to are seen as villains and monsters in the fandom, or manipulators that pressure people into doing what they want, or arrogant assholes who really just need to be put in their place. I try my best to ignore it.

It's harder to ignore when a not-super popular headcanon you made out of comfort after dissing your abled a bit more and living through a fairly traumatic job experience (and ergo losing out on a job because no one believed you were disabled), gets taken and written in an explicitly ableist way that mimicks precisely the trauma you were seeking comfort from.

I don't know who fandom is for anymore, but it's certainly not for me.

⭐️ Intropost!!

Decided to re make this bc the old one is kinda outdated

first and foremost, if you don’t support Palestine please fuck right off and do yourself the favour of going back to kindergarten. Anyone who somehow still doesn’t believe that what’s happening is a GENOCIDE and thinks that itsnotreal is somehow the victim here clearly lacks all critical thinking skills and would do well with some basic level education. After blocking me first, of course.

Welcome to my blog! :D

My name is August! I like to reblog art I like and posts to do with my current interests. I also like to post mini rants/rambles, thoughts, sometimes I just complain abt minor inconveniences lmaooo. Either way it’s all very disorganized and random because I am lazy :)

My interests/ what I post abt

Huge car seat headrest and 1 trait danger special interest, but otherwise I hyperfixate on something new like once a week so it’s all pretty inconsistent overall.

Music taste

Csh and 1td special interest so bad I genuinely cannot sit down and listen to anything other than csh, 1td, and nym without genuinely panicking 😔 kinda weird tho bc it only counts if I’m the one picking the music??? Like if someone else plays a different artist even if it’s on my phone I’m fine. Idk man autism is weird

(Ps if you’re interested in csh covers check out my youtube channel! I haven’t posted a whole lot on it yet but I plan to be pretty active. The link is way up at the top of this post :3)

Random little fun facts abt me!

I’ve been in my schools choir since grade 7 (so four years and counting)

My favourite movie is Brokeback Mountain

My favourite TV show is Community

Scandal Westeros - Top Five

Nymeria shakes his mother’s hand. “The pleasure was all mine, Minister Stark. I’ll be sure to give Sarella your regards.”

She waits for his mother to walk away before giving Jon a mischievous smirk. “She’s fun.”

“Aye. Big fun. I’m sure you’d love your father asking why you weren’t fuckin' me.”

“Oberyn wouldn’t ask,” Nymeria deadpans. “A; I’m too good for you and b…” she drops her voice to a whisper. “I’m pretty sure he already knows we fucked.”

Right. That sandy-haired asshole who was at their table earlier, Oberyn Martell’s consigliere, keeps a close eye on the Sand Snakes. Jon wishes he’d known that before he fucked Nymeria.

“Speaking of Snakes and Wolves…” Nymeria looks around. “Isn’t it strange how Sarella disappeared shortly after your cousin stopped by our table? And now he isn’t anywhere to be found either?”

Since they worked the Targaryen case a month ago, Nymeria swears that Robb and Sarella’s on-and-off thing is back “on.” He noticed an extra swing in Sarella’s step lately, but he learned long ago to stay out of Robb and Sarella’s business until one of them needed to rant about the other.

“How about this Snake and this Wolf mind our own business?”

“Humph,” Nymeria pouts. “You’re no fun.”

Feeling nature call, Jon rises from his seat and winks. “Nym, we both know I’m the most fun you’ve ever had.”

She squints. “That honor belongs to a pretty blonde in Skyreach but I’ll give you top five. Top two cock, for sure.”

🖤?

(🖤 - How many alters do you have? Can you tell me about them?)

Okay so I have a LOT of alters (over fourty) so I’ll just give like. The most frequent ones?? Side note: they’re all fictives

So.

First: Spencer Acachalla!! Twenty-two years old (biologically). Scottish-American, pan trans guy. He’s a huuuuuge nerd. He can be a litttle introverted but usually he’s just very snippy and sarcastic with new people. He has the tendency to rant as ramble and he’s been here the longest - about.. seven years? (He was the first to form.)

Second: Abbott Captor. A Mituna Captor. Seventeen years old, uh. Alternian. Gay trans guy. Abbott is.. something. He’s just as loud as Spencer half the time, but he can sort of flip on a dime. Sometimes he’s vulgar, obnoxious, and brash, and others he’s timid and shy. He’s genuinely really sweet, though, and if you let him talk about his boyfriend he’ll probably love you forever tbh.

Third: Seto Traevs! His source is a little weirder to explain and would probably take its own post. Seventeen in human years, aaand Enderborn. Gay enby (he/him, ne/nym). Seto is .. really shy. He’s a little awkward most of the time, but he’s seriously eager to learn anything. He loves meeting new people, even if he’s shy, and he will literally listen to people infodump about anything - but he especially has an affinity for science and nature. He’s .. still learning human culture but he’s very smart (and a fast learner).

Fourth: Jimmy Casket. Twenty-one, gay trans guy. Jimmy is.. a.. gremlin, to explain it lightly. He’s not bad or dangerous, he’s just really fucking weird. He’s majorly impulsive and excitable and will literally do anything if he’s dared to. Or just if he wants to. Also has a boyfriend. That boyfriend is most of what he talks about sometimes.

Fifth: Robbie!! Seven!! And a boy. Robbie is .. fun. He’s a Robbie the Zombie fictive to clarify, and he is an absolute baby boy. He’s incredibly outgoing and excitable and he loves to play. He loves pretty much anyone who talks to/plays with him and is incredibly affectionate. (He also wants me to tell everyone reading this that he loves you all 💜)

And this boy isn’t a frequent fronter yet but he’s been active more recently and is active right now:

Jackie!!!!!! Twenty-four, pan trans guy. Jackieboyman fictive. Impulsive nerd. He loves comic books and superhero movies and talks about them a lot. Also cried when the shit with Sony and Disney and Spider-Man was happening. Does dumb shit a lot because “I’m a superhuman, it won’t hurt me!”. And then it does and Henrik yells at him.

Also they’re all more than happy to talk to people and they do have a blog @thefamily-system if anyone wants to follow or send them asks or shit so.

(System ask game!)

You can tell I’m coping well with the news

THIS JUST IN

Hello, hi, I dreamt of King Dice, and it was like a fancy party, and I broke his elevator (he was pretty chill about it), he spooked me by looming over my shoulder, then I was put in charge of watching a... baby thing that freaked me the fuck out, I got paid gummy pandas (yes, specifically pandas), then we... chilled on the couch. .-.

He fell asleep next to me and I was like :D

This has been Nym ranting about dreams about their object headed crush. Back to your regularly scheduled Cuphead reblogs.

An out of context rant.

Oh there’s a great many things to rant about. Whether it be dealing with state issued timely things, BFH drivers (Big fucking hurry), or going to get food and its not good when you go out. 

But if I had to narrow it to one topic...

I think I’m going to angle it at Blizzard’s lack of addressing roleplayers in their game. A great number of players are losing faith in the franchise since Wrath of the Lich King - and I think its because the content is just redundant and there’s rarely any prospect of something ‘new’ or ‘stimulating’. 

The game has already seen some seriously nice improvements since vanilla. But the whole head turn thing has been the greatest implementation I’ve seen in a long time. Sort of subtly puts them on par with Final Fantasy 14. But sadly the other MMO has way more emotes and just optimization for roleplay. 

People want the player housing and what not. And really, I don’t blame them. Plus I’m really surprised it’s difficult for them to make outfits. Some of these things cause my eyes to shrivel when I look at them. But maybe one day they’ll put in more outfits too. 

Maybe let our characters do more things. Like -- with the mount passenger feature? I think people should get the option to request being picked up by other players. That would be amusing to see. 

Just say accept - then if you don’t wanna be carried anymore, just eject yourself from the other’s players arms. NBD right? Super easy.

@nym-wildseeker - thanks for the ask XD
