"Since you've named yourself after Julius fucking Caesar, perhaps I'll follow in your lead and choose one of the conspirators." "Interesting," says Giuliano. "Should I worry about finding you at the center of some kind of conspiracy that ends with my death?" "Not from me," replies Ascanio. He sounds tired. "Not anymore."
informally, some kind of. conversational follow up to the last comic. I'm trying to get the atmospheric conversational whimsy out of my system because I have a vision of the vatican as a body in active decay, a point of infection spreading out and poisoning the well, a jaw unhinged that people walk into over and over, and I am so close to figure out how to convey this visually. maybe.
#not that there's anything wrong with atmospheric whimsy but i kind of want to get into the gross body horror of it all#literally. allegorically. for the vibes. its just hard to pin down the abstract thought of 'oh we should High Rise the Vatican' you know#(High Rise by JG Ballard is what i'm referring to here) like how do I achieve this. well. first. is i must lay out the vatican and become#intimate with the visual set pieces. then i can talk about how this building could literally be hazardous to your health#however. drawing the vatican. is very. uhhhh. man I do not know enough about medieval-renaissance architecture to be inventing#anything and that one book that collected interiors of rooms and houses in renaissance art is NEVER ANYWHERE EVER#and if it is then it's always around when i cannot afford it. i feel like i am in a specific kind of torment torture box#i will not be defeated tho. i can design a vatican through other means.#ANYWAY. i think antidepressants would've made ascanio an unstoppable menace in the vatican#there's a bunch of stuff being referenced here but my pdf reader does not want to cooperate with me so basically we're playing around with#ascanio's household staff (alessandro) that whole thing wrt to ascanio & acts of piety/charity (such as covering dowries etc)#uh. that's it! this time i didn't accidentally call giuliano by his brother's name. which is . sherhhg. so there's a fic i was writing.#italian renaissance tag#komiks tag

since everyone on here loves disaster polycule stories lemme ramble about this fuckin guy i sort of know. hes making plans for a hypothetical future poly living situation and said plans involve everyone in the household putting money towards a deposit to incentivize not leaving on bad terms i guess? where people would have to vote on whether someone who wants to move out can have their deposit back (feels to me like that has potential to enable abusive dynamics but thats besides the point). but the thing is he wants to set this up via cryptocurrency ("because otherwise itd just lose value because of inflation") and that sounds like a disaster to me honestly. using something so volatile for money stuff that should probably be handled like, any other way lol.. i feel for anyone that has to navigate living with this guy no wonder his roommate-with-benefits left
#.pdf#rd#yeah man you can have your deposit back oh by the way the weird new currency i used for it has fallen in value to almost nothing sorryyy#get real. what are you doing. cryptocurrency polycule

Bestie could you please please please send me “Shadows” by Jazzy?? I’ve been searching for it desperately 😭
ahhh yes of course!! i tried so many times to send it on the original post but tumblr kept eating my replies and I didn’t realise that (my fifth or sixth attempt by that point 😭) hadn’t sent yet again.
i can’t now find the original thread on reddit that i downloaded epubs from but i found this reddit thread that had links to all of them (hopefully tumblr, hellsite that it is❤️, lets this link work). i haven’t checked out all the pdfs but lmk if they dont work and I will see if i am able to send you what I have downloaded although i think i’m missing two. I think for the reddit links you might have to download MEGA but i think a comment has been added explaining how to access them without downloading other things.
i also found this site the memento archive which although i havent checked should probably have links as long as you know the author or title. since jazzitup’s works were pretty popular (for wss) i imagine they will be on there. also might be useful if theres any other fic that you want thats been lost. i found one i had been looking for for five years!!! at long last on there it actually saved my life
i think it was @literallyanaries and @toto-dreamer who were also on the original post? although i’ve just gone back to it to look in the notes and @ijustlikehoney has added a link !! but i’m not sure if you guys have seen that so i’n @ ing you here. hopefully between all of us we will be able to recover which ones we want!!!
#tumblr i am begging you do not delete this response#i typed out the original reply so many times😭😭😭😭#bit frustrated that the og reddit thread has disappeared from my grasp however because it downloaded the fics really neatly packaged#because i can’t really read pdfs too well on my phone because the writing is too small#but oh well#hit me up if any of these links dont work for you and i will see if i can figure it out#crossed fingers though!!!!

we're doing these workshop things to try to address some of the equity/workflow/workload problems in our department and our facilitator wants everyone to email her "the problem [we'd] like to solve in [our] large team" and how do i politely say i just want people to do their fucking jobs
#personal#i'm fed UP i'm FED UPPPPPP#with this one particular coworker rn#but there are several who are guilty of this shit#but this one guy#asked me to get a spanish version of a doc reprinted#i told him it hadn't been updated and to pull over the list of changes into that task (which he should have already done)#he just goes 'can't we send it to our usual translator?'#me: yes but i NEED A LIST OF THE CHANGES. you can just HIGHLIGHT THEM IN THE PDF. just DO YOUR JOB and GIVE ME THE CHANGES#he gives me a highlighted pdf and i'm looking at it before i send it for translation#AND HE USED THE WRONG FREAKING PDF#IT'S NOT THE MOST RECENT VERSION#IT'S NOT THE CORRECT DOC WITH THE MOST UPDATED COPY#the correct doc is IN OUR PROJECT MANAGEMENT SOFTWARE.#i deleted the incorrect version when i added the correct one so I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHERE HE PULLED THE INCORRECT ONE FROM#i want to scream#i'm SICK and TIRED of him doing the BARE MINIMUM and then DOING IT WRONG#EVERY SINGLE TIME#it's not MY job to make sure he does HIS job correctly. or AT ALL. oh my GOD i'm sick of it#(i made the changes in the english ver. so i know what's needed. it's like four minor things total.)#(i could absolutely do this myself and it would've been done already. but i'm trying to get him to DO HIS JOB.)#(instead of me just DOING HIS JOB FOR HIM every time bc then he'll never learn)#(but i am so FED UP WITH THIS. i have other shit to do.)#anyway i'm feeling ragey right now i'll delete this later probably

I am. This close. To finishing off these ebooks.
I need to edit EPUB metadata, futz around with the EPUB ToC so that it finally stops insisting that all the previews are of ”Frostbitten Prophet,” slap an ISBN number on Ember Warrior, and mock up a cover for the Breathing Gods previews.
Then, boom. I got me some functional ebooks!
#tbh depending on how good i can get that cover to get#i might just wipe the cover previews from EW#and put it out there#i do have like. a week. so it’s up-in-the-air#i will probably get the first three tasks done by the end of tomorrow heh so it’s only the cover that’ll press me for time#oh and i have to export the Scribus files as PDFs#but that’s also a tiny itty bitty task#aaaaaaaAAAAAAAA#look i get why a lot of you guys wanna go for trad when i look at my process in the abstract it’s So Much To Remember#but i am getting better every year and it’s genuinely getting me more and more excited with every release

Have you had Nazi propaganda blazed onto your dashboard? Me too.
Its no secret that Tumblr doesn't give a damn about its user base. It's been made abundantly clear to me that not only do they not care. Tumblr is allowing posts with direct links to nazi propaganda and chatroom sites to be blazed!
The only reason I found this post? Because Tumblr put it in front of my face on my dashboard.
In the notes of this post there were dozens of reblogs with things like "is this an ARG?" "Oh whats this, save for later". One comment that said "tempting".
This is a neo nazi trying to recruit you.
Report this immediately. Do not click links. Email [email protected] telling them that you don't want neo nazis paying them to show us this garbage.
If you want to know how I figured out what this was in more detail, I'll put it under a read more so that everyone can be a little safer and a little smarter out there.
First: I went to the persons blog.
This one in particular is clever enough to have an ask about palestinian donations as their first post. The second is the one screenshot above.
I kept scrolling. Most are youtube links posted with 0 notes or interaction. This is another link to the same site here.
If you scroll far enough, you'll see they've reblogged an original post.
If you directly copy and paste this text into google, you'll find exactly one result. A PDF in Bulgarian hosted on a website named aobg.org.
Sounds legit, right?
Its the official website for the Bulgarian Society of Anthroposophy. A 'new age spiritual movement based on German idealism'. A cult.
As soon as I made the connection, I knew that clicking the original link would lead me to something similar. I felt confident enough to click it safely (DO NOT TRY AT HOME), and was launched into the shittiest little pro Nazi website with a live chatroom on the side.
There are always signs, always queues. Do not be stupid out there. These are NOT ARGs. If you aren't sure, block and move on.
#i dont even know what to tag this as#just dont be fucking dumbasses out there i stg#this website is trash and appalling#and ive already emailed them about it

i really thought i was getting better. i see now that that was stupid of me
#.pdf#rd#sorry feel free to ignore the following whining about my health#few days back i started feeling like i had more energy than i had in weeks#so i was like oh good i can do stuff again and cleaned all my fishtanks (spent a couple hours hauling buckets of water back and forth)#and then followed that up with staying up too late AND a half day of being out and about because i “felt up for it”#unfortunately my suspected Feel Bad After Doing Stuff Disease made me feel bad. after doing stuff. and now i feel like an idiot#why did i think that i would suddenly be able to handle my previous levels of exertion again? i do not know.#i guess its just hard to like really internalize that this might be my life now and that i cant do too much of anything even if i want to#got used to being told that im just depressed or something. made me start to doubt if im actually sick. made me think i would be fine#nope. clearly still something wrong with me. sucks to be me i guess#i feel so weak and sick and cold. like the kind of deep untouchable cold you feel when your blood temp drops from being given iv fluids...#hate it. one of my least favorite symptoms for sure for sure

One of the things no one really talks about irt injury rehabilitation is how the hell you keep track of all the exercises you have to do, and the persistent worry that you’ll forget to do one or do one slightly wrong and somehow fuck up your own recovery because you didn’t bounce your heel enough times
#i’ve ended up having to download a to do list app so i can create lists for the exercises i have to do in the morning; afternoon; evening#and night & just tick them off when i do them#there was an exercise diary in my pdf as well but it’s just boxes with the date and i have to presumably tick if i did them#but there’s no way to record how Many times i did something#and flipping back between pages to double check if i did something the correct number of times is just annoying to me#i have 6 exercises total and 2 need to be done twice a day; 1 needs to be done 3 times; 2 need to be done 4 times#and one needs to be done ‘as many times as possible’ but that one i can’t do yet because it has to be done standing on one leg#which she should know i can’t do??#i try it daily at lunchtime and every time i fail and just put an X in the box to say ‘i tried and this was not happening’#so yeah. the app is really the only way to keep track of this stuff#i probably need to learn the technical names of the exercises instead of just calling them ‘bouncy leg’ and ‘pilates ball’#but i am doing my best okay. or someone’s best at least#what i fear is that i go back to my physio next week with this diary nicely filled in and she’s like ‘oh you did great with these!#way better than expected! here’s 6 more exercises all with different recommended sets & times to do them’#the way i’d die#i mean it depends what it is tbh. there’s a couple i really like (all the ones that involve equipment tbh)#but if it’s anything like ‘bouncy leg’ or ‘knee extension on chair’ i will HAAATE it#maybe i’ll stay one step ahead of her and take up pilates.#sidenote but i really want to buy one of those big pilates balls. if i lived alone i definitely would#but i don’t think it would be well received in this household#personal

Ngl I just find it so funny if Danny just accidentally becomes friends with someone trying to rob him like-
___________________________________
“Get up!”
And he was up, hands above his head and everything. The guy in all black proceeded to pat him down along his pockets while pointing a gun at him otherwise.
“How do you not have a wallet on you?”
“I’m a college student, I can barely afford tuition.”
That’s a lie, he was on a full ride scholarship, but they didn’t need to know that.
“Oh you too?”
Did this bitch just say ‘you too’ ? No way.
“‘You too?’ Are you doing this to pay for college???”
Ancients, the school system sucked if he had to resort to crime for this.
“Yeah- you wouldn’t believe how expensive my major is, the textbooks alone cost more than my rent!”
“Holy shit, no kidding. Yeah, why are textbooks so expensive? Why am I paying hundreds of dollars for something that could have been a 2 dollar pdf?”
“Right! I tried asking my professor instead, but he said he’d fail me if I didn’t have the right materials! It’s driving me nuts. Like how am I supposed to pay for all this?”
How Dannt started making conversation with his own robber, he didn’t know, but he was happy to finally complain with someone. He hadn’t exactly made friends since he got here.
“Personally I buy used books, and the more trashed they are, the cheaper. Then, you can just use the pdf version but still have the textbook in class. It’s honestly so much easier. Or you can see if you can borrow it from the library and just bring it in for the classes he checks it, then return it after to avoid the fees. That option is a bit more troublesome though.”
“Oh shit, no way! That’s awesome, I never thought of that, thanks man! Man, I wish I talked to you sooner.”
“Yeah, it’s all good, maybe just avoid the crime after this? There’s tons of online jobs you can do during class and stuff. I don’t know, there’s always another option than crime. You sound like a good guy, just desperate.”
The robber turned friend (?) lowered his gun and sighed before returning the items in the bag to everyone. He then apologized to the cashier and then to everyone else before giving Danny a hug (how long had it been since he’d gotten one of those?) and leaving. Danny was so proud of him he almost cried (again).
______________
I know it's a bit weird and out of place, but that's bcs its a snippet from a fic I'm writing on ao3 😭
But still, I need more of Danny befriending ppl trying to jump/rob him
#dc x dp#dp x dc#danny phantom#danny fenton#college au#prompt#dc x dp prompt#dp prompt#college is too damn expensive#sometimes the guy trying to rob you is just a desperate college student with a mean professor who won't let him use a pdf#justice for side character a

People who work on stuff that requires working in groups are so emotionally resilient. I've been doing this project with two classmates that I KNOW are responsible and serious and nonetheless my nerves almost gave in (okay scratch that, they totally gave in at some point) whenever something went wrong. I am too much of a perfectionist control freak to trust others with this type of split duties model.
#no cause we thought we had fixed the problem but then it wasn't fixed#and they weren't answering my messages (unfortunately they were probably eating dinner while i was losing my mind)#it sucked bc i needed their parts to be fixed so that i could be done with it al AT LAST#bc i was doing the very last step (a mockup)#and they were offline!! and i was stressing out bc the deadline is tomorrow AND I WANTED TO GO TO BED 😭!!!#and it's not their fault bc they thought the colours had been fixed! but turns out they were not completely fixed#i was crying. and it was not a figure of speech.#thank god the last bit of fixing was much easier than i thought it would be so i did it myself#but not before i sent like ten fucking messages all but begging them to resurface and fix it#my messages are literally 'we didn't fix it' 'please can you fix it' girls i will do it myself' 'girls i can't do it. can you do it pls'#'girls i found what's wrong' 'i fixed it all it's all done and over'#the messages on their own make me look INSANE and timestamps oh lord the timestamps. every five minute i was saying something different.#i can never come up with a solution to any stressful thing like a normal person istg i always have to have a panic attack beforehand#I'M GOING TO FUCKING BED#and probably have nightmares about colors and tiffs and psds and jpgs and pdfs and formats and layers hsagdasgdaksldg#me.txt

Any good werewolf content? Like books or movies. I really love werewolves and I rarely see content of them online
oh gosh uh see i'm like in the same boat as you. it's very hard to find quality werewolf media that's not alpha male type smut or bad horror movies (though some of those are fun) or . teen wolf, which i have only watched a couple episodes of and cannot in good faith recommend
an american werewolf in london, ginger snaps, and dog soldiers are really good movies with very fun practical effects. one of my professors actually worked on the werewolves for dog soldiers! the howling is not a good movie but i kind of love it i can't lie. OH and you should watch the wolf man even though i don't love that movie; it's just really important to understand where the modern understanding of werewolves comes from! (edit: SOMEONE IN THE TAGS also mentioned van helsing and that movie sucks in such A Way but the werewolf designs ROCK!!!! all of the monster designs do. i have had a very specific vision of it where i make the main character a butch. maybe someday i'll draw that)
i have heard good things about the marvel miniseries werewolf by night but i haven't watched it. and if you do watch it pirate it bc fuck disney + marvel.
wolfwalkers is a really well-made and sweet animated movie i would solidly recommend to anyone. beautiful art style, great message, and a really fun interpretation of werewolves.
dungeon meshi has some fun lycanthrope stuff in some of the chapters!!
there's a comic i really love called "After Dark" (on Webtoon) and I have to admit I only have the time to see the creator's posts on instagram, which are snippets of the story. but I adore the art style and characters a lot. you can follow them on twitter here!
Night Class is another (mlm/werewolf) comic and I'll link its twitter here. Really dig the art style too!!
uhh but lemme recommend some of my favorite werewolf creators on tumblr too! because truly we are lacking in good lycan media and i would recommend more indie stuff to fill that niche in more interesting ways:
@gorgynei
@nataliedecorsair
@wolfskulljack-art
@senkkei
@piskikone
@kinerxy
@trashasaurusrex
@blackbackedjackal!
lastly i'm gonna link a pdf of my favorite medieval poem, Bisclavret!! it's about a king and his werewolf.
#star's asks#werewolf stuff#anons#it's so funny looking through the werewolf art tag bc a lot of it on tumblr is mine + my work is so much more colorful compared to#the traditional werewolf stuff. whoops gkgdjh i didnt realize i liked bright blues and pinks that much
