I know that 2016 wasn't yesterday, but even so it seems like our collective memory is shorter with each passing year. The 2016 election and the Internet Research Agency were news a long time ago in media years...and there are bad-faith actors and agents out there who are counting on us forgetting.

As we get closer to Election Day, I encourage everyone to be more cautious of the information that you come across online. Fact check info that you come across in random social media posts, use reputable and reliable sources, get your news from more than one TV channel or website.

Be wary of anyone or anything online designed to manipulate your actions or influence your emotions, whether it's tumblr posts or advertisements or tiktoks. Do not allow propaganda and/or misinformation to sway you into voting against your personal values, your best interests, your personal safety, or the well-being of your neighbors and community in November.

I've already seen things that are concerning online within the past few months, and I expect to see an increase in this the closer we get to November.

Think critically and pay attention.

Gary things people often think are headcanons but are actually canon:

is a fallen angel (the canon also acknowledges this by associating him w the fallen star)

has cursive handwriting (only dubiously canon from concept art. but well)

has forged/faked papers (john's release form, lisa's letter, god knows what else)

is actually just kind of silly and over the top

obsession/stalker tendency w john. thats not even a shipping thing

Gary things that are in fact just my headcanons:

like everything you can think of about his appearance?

idk i dont have a lot of hcs that were mistaken for canon

Guys, I'm literally begging you to not make me the "Um, actually" guy right now.

Atlantis is not and has never been a real actual city.

There is literally no historical or anthropological evidence that it ever existed. It was an entirely made up city that Plato created to illustrate his point about the very real threat of political corruption and how if left unchecked, could lead to the absolute devastation of an entire nation and its people.

It's also a fucking Nazi conspiracy theory. I shouldn't have to explain how "a secret advanced ancient civilization whose people were inherently superior and able to dominate all of the Ionian, Aegean and Mediterranean seas" is an absolute red fucking flag.

I'm going to jump out a window omfg a;lsdfj;alkgja

Here's a fun video for anyone who is still doubtful that explains in more depth how fucking bonkers the Atlantis conspiracy theory actually is.

I promise ACTUAL Greek history is extremely fascinating. Please stop buying into literal conspiracy theories, I'm going to lose my fucking mind.

Attention: Transformers Community

We appear to be in the midst of a spambot problem. I just caught two perps in various tags, but I'm presuming there's more.

They seem to be using some odd repost site called "takemaster.org" to clone original content (art, memes, you name it) by users here and mass repost them. If you look at their blogs, it's just multi-fandom reposts.

First account is @wingedtalealpaca and second account is @scentedcollectorconnoisseur ... bear in mind there are probably more.

If you come across any of these accounts, report as spam ASAP!

⚠️ SCAM WARNING FOR DISNEY+ USERS ⚠️

just went to log in to Disney+ on desktop for the first time, googled 'disney plus' (because i'm old like that) and nearly got caught in a scam so PLEASE READ THIS AND STAY SAFE OUT THERE!

right now when you google 'disney plus' the FIRST RESULT (which is also a SPONSERED result) looks like the legit website but IT IS A SCAM. here's what you will see:

^ that result and ALL of its links lead to a scam website. if you click you may be fooled, as i almost was. this is what you will see:

^ looks like a legit login window BUT LOOK AT THE URL!

^ THAT IS SCAMMER URL NONSENSE. real urls don't have all that shit, as you will see. but if you put your login and click Next, here's what you will see:

^ it asks for your password. now, i did this with my actually account but afterwards i checked and you can do it with a fake email and fake password because none of this info actually matters they just want you to click this Next so you will reach the scammer page which is:

^ ⚠️ NO LEGIT SUBSCRIPTION WEBSITE ASKS YOU TO LOGIN THEN IMMEDIATELY ASKS YOU TO CONFIRM YOUR PAYMENT DETAILS. THIS SHIT IS A SCAM. ⚠️

Back out of the site and return to the google search results, scroll down to the SECOND search result, which is the REAL one, and this is what you will see:

^ THESE are the real links.

^ THIS is what the real log-in landing page looks like.

^ THIS is the real log-in page. NOTE HOW SIMILAR IT IS TO THE SCAMMER PAGE but also note the differences: the REAL site has extra info and links in the footer, but more importantly the URL is simple and not stuffed with scammer nonsense.

For this to be happening with Disney is BAD - they're a huge company and don't want this kind of bad shit happening to their customers or for their name to be fucked with.

but also: WTF GOOGLE?? the FIRST search result - a SPONSERED result - is a SCAM on one of the biggest streaming services out there. GEt YOUR SHIT TOGETHER GOOGLE.

and everyone please stay safe! spread the word! add info if this is happening to other streaming services too!

A couple of people have (reasonably) assumed that, in the mean-girls picture, the ladies must be speaking elvish. Many of the same people have helpfully informed me that Gale very likely knows elvish very well. With that said, I would like to make it extremelly clear that DU Drow absolutely does not understand a lick of Elvish and will gladly nag Gale to his back, side, and face in full and clear Common.

No I don't have "Resting Bitch Face." But sometimes I have Active Smiling Face, because smiling is several muscular contractions and you can't do that while your face is actually resting.

semi-hiatus

to take the pressure (for myself) out of writing/posting, I am going on a hiatus in November. I won't be posting any new fics in November. The fics next Wednesday and Thursday will be the last ones until December where I will hopefully be back with a Dieter Christmas fic, A Pero or Joel mini Christmas series and the last two chapters of Counting stars so I have everything in my WiPs I planned on finishing this year done!

i may be a bit dusty,,

but at least i didn't forget to take my medicine today..

I am re-watching Moon Knight in full for the first time since I saw the last episode.

Watching it with a friend who has never seen it. The info dumping is REAL. I've been waiting over a YEAR to explain these things to someone. You don't understand.

I'm going full Autistic Special Interest people.

It's about to be your problem.

Special thank you to everyone in this fandom that has spent SO much time compiling all the information, the screen shots, the DETAILED BREAK DOWN OF STEVEN'S ROOM. The Jewish content, the play by play DETAILS. I love you all.

Now to weaponize it and drag my friend down into my special little Moon Knight hell.
