Kaisa knew what she was as soon as her eyes landed on her for the first time.

The woman, who at the time had been strolling aimlessly around the library, might have looked inconspicuous to the untrained eye. She presented herself with a fairly human constitution, aside from the fact that no ordinary person could be quite that beautiful. But, with the standard way she carried herself, and the clearly extensive knowledge on how humans should behave, someone who didn’t know better might have shrugged the woman off as just a uniquely gorgeous person.

But Kaisa knew better. The newest patron in her library, and there was simply no way around it, was a faerie.

It was a good thing the librarian saw her first; not that she was in any way under the illusion that the fae couldn’t sense her, didn’t know she was there and watching her. But the lack of visual contact gave Kaisa a chance to gather her bearings, to identify why the energy coming off of this “person” was so much stronger than she’d see from any human, why it made her think of a golden sunset on meadows and drizzle on the canopy of trees.

Her energy imprint wasn’t as strong as Kaisa had felt from faeries before; there was something tame about it, something domesticated. Something that, even if it hadn’t been originally human, had been sufficiently squeezed and bent into a shape resembling it. Out in the woods, when any witch had to call for help from the good folk for whatever practice they were hoping to work on, this was not the energy they felt; Kaisa had witnessed enough of such workings to recognize the wild and boundless spirit of most faeries, like a tsunami that each of those witches brought unto themselves and could easily drown in were they not careful.

Comparatively, the woman gently running her fingers across the wooden carvings on one of the ceiling high bookshelves, smiling at it with the same gentleness of someone greeting an old friend, felt positively docile. Not a monstrous wave. Not an avalanche after the breaking of a dam. Rather, a river that ran with enough strength to carve its path in the rocks, but one inviting enough that children would play near it during summer – only getting hurt if they were a little stupid.

Yes, Kaisa thought, there was something about this faerie that was distinctively human.

Which didn’t do a single thing to change the fact that this was a faerie. In her library.

Genealogy of the Condemned/Convicted novel manga first chapter is done and ready to go!

You can read it here and here (second link is recommended for the notes page specifically).

Things to be aware of with this manga:

This is a short manga of six chapters. It doesn't cover even the entire childhood arc, let alone the whole novel.

Some lines are taken directly from the novel, while others were similar but not identical, and others were changed to fit manga style dialogue bubbles.

Not everything in the manga is 1:1 with the novel, but it's all pretty close.

I hope you enjoy!

Translation by me.

Scans by @suguelya.

Cleaning by Jenners and myself.

Typesetting by me.

Here are the main illustrations for the game's 3rd anniversary taken from the site! They will also be used on the title screen for the next year.

Hello! I know I'm only a new creator in this fandom but I wanted a way to highlight other gifmakers here and so I created a community!

The purpose for now is to simply reblog and feature gifsets being made by MOA, no matter the level, as I think anyone making anything for the boys should be featured. My hope is to gather more fans to it so that they can reblog and support more of the content people are making! I'd appreciate if you'd join!

Thanks to the delightful and Much Appreciated donation of a ton of sprite edits by @severalsmallwizards, the number of ships I don't have visuals for is a very reasonable 14 ships!! Which is WAY DOWN from the 55 I thought I'd have to do, and perfectly possible to get done!

If people get back to me about permissions I'll trade their art in, and if anyone wants to take a crack at the remaining ships without visuals noted here, they are more than welcome to. But I'd say we're more or less ready!! So keep an eye out at around 6:30-ish EST on the 2nd (today, lmao) for the full schedule!!

Lactose intolerance and dairy allergies are different!

Lactose intolerance is well. An intolerance to Lactose (or is it lactase? One of them is the sugar, one is the enzyme you can lack which makes you unable to digest the sugar)

Dairy allergy is well. An allergy to dairy, and all the dangers and unpleasantness that that brings

Also you can have dairy with lactose intolerance if you're willing to face the consequences (just digestive issues), but you shouldn't eat things your allergic to at all really since you might have a bad reaction (like not being able to breathe).

(In reference to this post.)

Thanks for the clarification, you guys! So I was definitely way off on that one. Good to know!

And this definitely adds some helpful context to Luz counting her lactose intolerance as a greatest fear: if it's unpleasant but not exactly deadly for her to consume something with lactose in it, then it does put that fear more or less on the same level as the others she listed. While there is a bit of a difference between "causes extreme physical discomfort", "causes mental discomfort but only if you're on the internet" and "existential horror", none of them quite qualify for a greatest fear.

...though it's possible that there really is someone out there in the world who does fear one of those things more than anything else. You never know!

hello everyone!! this is a burner account to share this:

as photomatt deletes everything, me and a few others are trying our best to compile screenshots to spread the word of the situation. most of the screenshots in the dropbox feature a comment by one of our helpers containing context. if you have any screenshots you'd like to add, please dm me. there is a high chance this account will get banned, so please save this dropbox and the screenshots included and continue to spread the word.

thank you!!

edit: thank you to all the people sharing and reblogging this! please note that this dropbox is being constantly updated (as i type this, files are being processed) so be sure to check in frequently for updates.

edit 2: as this gets more popular, i'm getting more and more worried about the probability of getting banned. to send me screenshots, please feel free to add me on discord (@mit_skies). i'll try to keep everyone updated on there + it'll be easier for me to see and document screenshots.

🔮 Submission & Request Guidelines ☀️

Feel free to ask me questions about any of these rules or just in general!

If I am uncomfortable or don't like your idea or submission for whatever reason, I'm allowed to decide not publish it & I do not have to disclose my reasons for deciding that or even blocking you.

Credit me "RoseMultiverse" (alternatively my main @r0semultiverse) or this blog if you repost to other sites.

Spicy submissions & requests are allowed of Rose Lalonde (post-scratch AKA Alpha Rose) & the Beyond Canon versions of Rose. Have an age/age range in your bio or pinned post to interact with those spicy posts specifically. Block the "homestuck nsft" tag if you aren't of adult age or just don't want to see it. I’ll censor submissions or requests as I see fit because I'm not trying to lose any of my blogs or their visibility.

Things like Rose being on Homestuck pages she isn't normally on are allowed along with adding clones of her onto pages she's already on. A clone of Rose or a different instance of her isn't suppose to be on that page with the other instance of Rose; so, it counts as her not being where she's supposed to be.

Cross fandom posting is also completely allowed, put any version of Rose wherever you want & send it in or make a request!

Please properly source or credit as necessary in your submissions using sprite rips, background images, etc. No uploading stolen SWs content & slapping her on there, that should be obvious, but I figure I should put that clearly in text.

Things like Rose wearing a hijab, being different skin tones, or even a different gender identity don’t count. Things like Rose wearing a hazmat suit or a fur suit do count! Also feel free to tag this blog in any posts you feel like would belong here! It’s anything not seen in source canon (within the rules of this post obviously).

Fanart & drawings are also allowed via submissions or maybe I'll even answer requests with doodles at times.

It's okay if the edits and/or art you send in aren't "perfect."

If you don't specify which version of Rose, I will choose to edit and/or draw whichever one I want at the time of seeing the request.

Sometimes I may make act or role-play like Rose in response to your submissions just for fun, but don't expect that as a default for every post.

Nice.

Emergency Fund for an Artist in Gaza

A family friend reached out to me to ask about raising funds for her friend, an artist in Khan Younis. Mariam, who is the family friend, is a poet and a songwriter herself and is very connected to the art community in Gaza. Her tumblr is @mariampoetry.

The friend in Gaza, who requested to stay anonymous, urgently requires funds within the next few days to stay in the home she's currently seeking shelter in. The family she's staying with are demanding a payment of $1000 USD "rent", or else the artist will have to pick up her family and stay outside in the sweltering heat.

We will be raising $2000 USD for her. This includes potential paypal fees, wire transfer fees, and other fees that banks in Gaza place on the money, which can go up to 30% of the money received. If any extra funds are left over, then they will be transferred to the artist for anything she might need.

Please send money to @/miriampoet on paypal. Mariam is a very trustworthy individual and I've personally known her very well since I was a kid, so I can definitely vouch for her.

EDIT: End of Emergency Fundraising!

Mariam asked me to turn off reblogs a little before midnight on Thursday EST. She said any difference she'll be able to make up, and that she'll send me a screenshot of the final tally ASAP.

If anyone sends money to her paypal, she said she'll try to refund/resend the money back. Please DO NOT send her any more funds! I'll be turning off reblogs to this post right now.

Thank you so so much for all your help these past few days! Please know that you helped a Gazan stay housed during an ongoing genocide while she was continuously displaced from Rafah, where her home is. Mariam will update me when she's able to contact me, and I'll make another post about that. Thanks again everyone!!

In the case you missed it. In United States Politics, the Biden Administration (current government) has updated Title IX to reword the regulations to include the line "sexual orientation, gender identity, and sex characteristics." in the "Protections against sex-based harassment and discrimination." section.

Meaning, the same protections afforded to cisgender children in schools against discrimination are now to be afforded to transgender and intersex children.

Full document here:

These protections were previously added by the Obama administration, then revoked by the Trump Administration.

So why is this different?

How it was done. The previous protections afforded to transgender students a part of the federally funded public school programs were done by a guidance document release by the federal government. These guidance documents can be revoked, or edited by subsequent administrations. The Biden Administration has updated the regulations on how the law can be enforced meaning it will be much harder to repeal those restrictions by subsequent administrations. Not impossible, just much harder. This is to take effect August 1st, 2024. Right at the start of the new school year.

So way to go USA. After years of attacking trans and intersex kids on every possible angle, this is a step in the right direction.

Edit: I made an error in my interpretation ...

.. and was spreading a bit of unintentional misinformation. This isn't a law change, it's a change in the regulations of how Title IX can be enforced. The changes are stronger than a guidance document but not as strong as a law change that would need to pass through congress to be officially changed. Please excuse my mishap, I was corrected in someones reblog. Please reblog this version.

And here's the link to the post calling me out who shared deeper context info!

I've update the original wording to be more factually correct. Again, I'm sorry. My bad. I'll do better next time (and maybe not write political info pieces when I'm feeling ill).

[ID: A three panel, almost black and white comic for the show Babylon 5.

The first panel shows Ambassador G'kar, a bipedal alien with black spots on his skin, holding up one hand to examine his long claws as he says, "You wanna fuck me so bad it makes you look stupid".

The second panel shows Ambassador Delenn, Commander Sinclair, and Ambasaddor Molari sitting at the counceil table. Delenn is frowning in reproach, Commander Sinclair has a deadpan expression, and Londo is looking down and sweating.

Commander Sinclair says neutrally, "I'll remind you that you are addressing an open meeting, G'kar."

The fourth panel zooms out behind G'kar's shoulders, showing the head table, as well as one of the rows of tables on the opposite side of the room, filled with ambassadors, with one empty spot. Commander Sinclair continues, asking, "would you like to revise the official Kha'ri position for the record?"

The last panel shows G'kar first holding one hand to his chin thoughtfully, then gesturing away with a shrug, saying, "The statement stands." Off screen, Commander Sinclair says, "Noted, Ambassador."

End ID.]
