Wait a minute! What is happening here? This is an 1888 Victorian fixer-upper in Fredericktown, MO. It has 27 bedrooms, 6 baths, 10,037 sq ft, and is only $99k. (However, some of the newer bedrooms have cinderblock walls.)

It looks like a wall may have been removed in the entrance. But, look at the cute stained glass windows.

It's currently under renovation- they just put in a new brick fireplace.

There's a nice wood stove here, and we can see that the floors are original.

Another wood stove. I like that they left the exposed brick. New walls are going up, there's a leak on the floor, though.

In the process of finishing the attic. A corner fireplace is going in. This is going to be nice.

I'm thinking bath in the corner.

It will be stunning when it's finished.

This is what I don't understand, though. Why would they make cinderblock rooms?

Long hallway that leads to a back door.

From the looks of this, it will probably need a kitchen.

I guess that you can cover up the walls with drywall or stucco.

Bath with some cinderblock. Clever way to make a shower curtain longer. I wonder if that's a sunken bathtub.

These look like children's bedrooms. Oddly, though, only one wall in each room is cinderblock.

This upper porch will be beautiful when it's refurbished.

There's a large porch and you can see that there's an addition on the side. They have container gardening going on, too. .41 acre lot.

Hey!! So turns out a video I made between a certain “well beloved but highly sensitive/emotionally reactive T.V” and an “orange haired inkling-turned-human” has managed to sweep my YouTube channel and accumulate 100k VIEWS!! THAT’S A LOT OF PEOPLE ACTUALLY?? My most widely viewed video EVER to exist in this moment in time?? AAAAA?? Not even mentioning the various comments and staggering increase in subs! It’s so much more then what I expected or even prepared for—might even be the most impactful thing to happen for me this year <3

…aside from graduating high school + the social connections I’ve been fortunate to make lol

BUT THE POINT IS I’d been closely monitoring the YouTube growth through the entirety of October. It’s make me smile like a dork, gawk in astonishment, dance frantically in my room from the energy boosts, and grow courage to stop being so selective/self-conscious with what I wish to share with the world! It’s kept my ambitions going!

I needed to find some way to celebrate the occasion and express my thanks—because I can’t NOT acknowledge this milestone jksjskp. Typically I try to avoid getting tunnel visioned focusing on the metrics/numbers. Mr. Puzzles had already demonstrated how much those things can mess with the minds of creatives. Caring too much about chasing views or placing your artistic value in attention seeking gets damaging. But at same time…it’s hard to deny the sense of pride the 100k achievement has filled me with. I understand that reaching 100k views doesn’t immediately make me any “better” or “worse” then I was before. I’m still just me! It only helps me feel seen by others—and that’s all I really needed. To hear some nice words & receive reminders that my ideas are cared about. So thank you SMG4 fandom for that, seriously thank you.

Please accept this Mr. Puzzle drawing as a way of sharing the happiness around. He’s so entertaining. Love him for simply existing. So glad we can all collectively be super attached to him (and the rest of the SMG4 cast of course). Can’t wait to see more incredible artworks from the fandom :)

Just incase anyone is confused by my vague description over which “animated video” I’m referring to here—hopefully this photo will help clarify lol. It’s this one!! Sorry about not outright stating the title at the start, I got carried away with writing!!

I’ve been in an odd place mentally when thinking about it. Wondering to myself if any of the attention is deserved considering it’s not even fully colored and could be dismissed as “low effort” content (despite taking several days making it). It’s easy to get into a trap of comparing yourself to others and questioning how much of the videos success is based on your skills, sheer algorithm luck, or only because you used popular characters and catered to a specific fandom. And then judging yourself by looking at other peoples videos. I’ve seen several artists post higher quality works then my own but it somehow gets less views. So why did mine succeed when others (who should have gotten just as much attention if not more) didn’t? Sometimes you feel like you’ve unfairly robbed them of that chance to be seen. However I’ve realized that I can’t ever expect views to be consistent—and comparing is pointless. So why worry about it or feel inadequate? I mean it’s pretty common for funny cat videos to go viral, so who am I to question the system lol. “Popular” YouTube videos can range from a passion project which took 7+ artists…to a clip of Toad singing Chandelier or a nonsensical Vine sketch. Anything can happen when it’s the internet! And just-so-happened my video was chosen. I should stay glad about that and get rid of all the overanalyzing. So that’s what I’ve chosen to do :)

As a moonless night descends on Baldur's Gate, the Cloister of Somber Embrace readies for a Nightfall ritual in honor of their dark goddess, Shar. You, a devoted Sharran acolyte, are unexpectedly paired with the enigmatic Mother Superior Shadowheart for the ritual's final, forbidden act—a shared moment of wickedness that will test your loyalty to the shadows…

YO GUESS WHO FINISHED WRITING HER FIRST BOOK?!? DAMN RIGHT THAT’S MEEEE✨✨✨

[ssaemilyhotchner]

all of this discourse (mostly on tiktok, to be fair) around people reading 100k word fics in one sitting and treating anything less as a "short oneshot" and here I am clocking in at <2k words each update lmao

I have a valentine's day idea that might not see the light of day because it probably won't even reach 1k words and I feel like people feel some type of way about "mini" fics like that

sometimes you just want to put that one single moment in time on paper, you know? sometimes fleshing it out any more feels like diluting the emotion or the intended effect

“Wanna hug it out?” the kid offers, opening up his disarmingly skinny, toothpick arms. At Jason's guarded look, he adds unsurely, “... No homo?”

Gotta hate when you go back in time to save your past self and things don't go to plan :/

No-text version and fic excerpt under the cut

One of the bikes passes close to James. He blurs into motion, metal hand fastening around the handlebar while he plants his feet and pulls the bike fully off the ground. In that same motion he’s using his other hand to shove the rider off, and as the bike is spinning to face the opposite direction it’d been going, he’s kicking a leg up and over so both he and the bike are airborne and moving and Bucky’s staring, he can do no other, because what he’s seeing is unbelievable. That kick sends the Nazi in the sidecar flying after his partner and James settles into the seat in the same instant the bike’s back tire hits the ground and then he’s gunning it towards Bucky.

“Get on!” he shouts, extending a hand. Bucky takes it and can’t help a grunt when he’s yanked up and over into the sidecar. The bike swerves for a second with the excess weight and Bucky thinks for a second they’re going to swerve right to their deaths, but James steadies it and opens the throttle to push the bike as fast as it’ll go.

It’s all over in seconds and, like Bucky, the Nazis had been too stunned by what they witnessed to react. But now that’s passed and bullets are pinging off the bike and the ground and the nearby trees while shouts and other bikes give chase.

Bucky’s still got his pilfered revolver so he twists in the sidecar, bracing his arm against the spare tire on the back and his knee on the uncomfortable bench while he plants his other foot at the front of the footwell for what little stability he can get. Thus braced, he takes shots at their pursuit.

It's hell to do with one arm on a moving bike but he manages to catch one of their front tires, flipping that bike and turning it into an unavoidable obstacle for another one behind it. So busy with shooting, he can’t stop his hat from getting plucked off his head by the wind.

“Can you quit swerving?” he yells when another one of his shots goes abruptly wide. James doesn’t bother with a response; the bullets whizzing through the air around them are answer enough.

i was not born for today’s publishing culture, i was born to make a comfortable living blasting out 10,000 words of barely-edited genre fiction a week for a newspaper serial for an indefinite length of time

What in the name of all that is holy is going on here? It's not a bad 1920 fixer upper in Walters, OK. Got a nice porch, new windows, 3bds, 2ba, 1,970 sq ft and only $85k. (The town motto is "Small Town, Big Heart.") So, let's see what you get for $85k.

That porch has to be original- I like the planters. It could be a lovely feature.

Unfortunately they put up vinyl siding. But, it's new.

This isn't bad. Nice ceiling beams, floor needs a polish, nice built-in shelving and you could put a new facade on the fireplace. The walls are in good shape.

The wiring is here for a nice fixture or fan.

It will need a full kitchen, but look at this- an original built-in hutch. Definitely a save.

I love this- original drainboard sink.

Nice laundry area.

Looks like a closet or pantry and the right side could actually be either a walk-in closet or another 1/2 bath.

Nice room with the porch outside.

Needs a little resurfacing.

This bath isn't in bad shape.

Looks llike a DIY new shower.

WHOAH! What, or who, the hell is this?

Oh, hell, no! She could still be here.

Okay here are some of my favorite moments from iwsynttr because I just want to share them

teen skk shenanigans will always have the top place in my heart

THEY MEAN THE WORLD TO ME

Do I even need to say anything

THIS SCENE. THIS SCENE HAS MY HEART. If someone told that to me irl I'd immediately ask for their hand in marriage.

I laughed so hard. Love it when authors do this. Absolutely golden.

HE'S SO ANNOYING (affectionate)

Also needless to say I loved every birthday gift scene + the entire elise and kyouka karaoke part + when chuuya sang his love song for dazai and dazai did the same for chuuya and the backstage kiss. Tbh the entire fic. Yeah.

i was rereading different parts of the royal au and i got to neil calling andrew "my star" and my mind immediately added north to it and i read it as "my north star" and then i remembered that that's the star people always use to find home. cause andrew is neil's home.

You 🤝 me, thoughts on Abram calling Andrew his star

[divinelyjude]

No, I don’t need a therapist. What I need is a fic with 75k+ words that doesn’t take me two hours to read. And a therapist.
