#ask for plain text

[antifathomable-shapeshifter]

seeing some factually incorrect takes sooo

the reason that trans men* do not and will not have male privilege under the patriarchy is because trans men ARE NOT MEN under the patriarchy. SOCIETY DOES NOT VIEW TRANS MEN* AS MEN. People In Society may interact with Trans Men* in ways that seem to grant them male privilege. but that is only if they are steath or in a particularly progressive area.

THE PATRIARCHY VIEWS TRANS MEN* AS FAILED WOMEN. for fucks sake. the system giving out gender points doesnt give any trans* people any gender points. why are some people so desperate to be wrong.

anyway sorry for yelling peace and love to all my brothers + allies <3

How exactly do screen readers interact with colored text? I know it doesn’t work but like does it say theirs colored text? Or just bugs out and skips, does it crash?

Hi! Thanks for the question. I'm not a screen reader user so I can only share what I've heard. I'll tag a few blogs at the end who may be able to have a better answer. Also, if you're referring to something I've posted and are able to, you can definitely send another ask with the URL and I will be more than happy to elaborate if you need.

Colored text like gradients is where issues come up the most. The gradient, on a meta level, is made with code that applies to one or a few letters at a time which makes screen readers spell out the individual letters or sound out the short bits of same-colored text. It doing that can be annoying to listen to and can cause issues for people trying to figure out what it's saying. I haven't heard of any screen readers being able to read gradient texts well, but there might be something out there.

I've heard a few people say that their screen reader may just flat out skip any colored text and not read it at all. Also, I'm pretty sure screen readers do not say what color a text is. So if a post relies on the different colors of text for context, screen reader users who cannot see the colors will miss out on important information.

I believe @mightyoctopus has made a post about gradients and might be able to confer or add on to what I've said. @accessibleaesthetics also has talked about some plain text in the past, if I'm remembering correctly. @a-captions-blog has said a few things about colored text too, I think.

Anyone else who has more experience can add on too!

Hazel: “You… y–you heard enough, right? W-wouldn’t want to give you nightmares.”

Fenninkou: “I-I’m not scared!”

Back with Hazel and Fenninkou, the former finally stopped to catch her breath. Most notably, she chose a spot with plenty of shrubbery and shade, quite a ways from the well-traveled road.

Another thing most notable, that the scrawny Fenninkou could easily tell, being in her arms–Hazel was shaking.

The Rigtretoon was glancing to and fro as if worried they were being followed, and she was trembling.

Hazel: “Not yet, you aren’t.”

Rue: “Fenninkou… F-Fenninkou…”

[ ID: A grayscale drawing of Rue shown from her left side, staring downwards with wide, teary eyes. Above her, taking up most of the image, is a gradient with the text in question; asks sent by anons. Rue's appearance is as described here. End ID ]

Rue: “Th-this is all my fault…”

Pikavee: “Rue, answer me…!”

It hadn’t held her form for very long. The two women had watched, horrified, as it quickly fell apart and became black sludge.

It still moved–it ballooned and bubbled, forming a round shape with blank eyes that shifted around and never quite stayed in one place. Sometimes extra eyes appeared; sometimes they disappeared.

Pikavee: “Wh-what’s going on? Why did it look like Fenninkou–”

Her fur tingled. The previous feeling of dread became fully realized.

Her life flashed before her eyes–but in reverse.

She saw herself and Rue in this same spot, surrounded by void shadows. She saw herself being attacked and swarmed. Rue would be lost in the chaos.

She saw herself lying on the ground, on the verge of fainting. It would end here–just before she was presumably finished off.

And with a blink and a gasp, she was back in reality.

Rue: “She’s gone, Pikavee… t-that’s the only way it could have…”

The Vuling trailed off. She was too distraught to explain her conclusion further.

Pikavee: “W-what–??”

Before Pikavee could question this, a headache briefly and severely flared, enough to stagger her. It only ebbed once she tried to calm herself down and steady her breathing, though it didn’t completely go away.

She came to just enough to notice movement on the void-matter’s surface. More of them were emerging.

The sight made the Twileon step away even more in fear. Instinct, foresight–whatever it was, it didn’t relent.

It told her to run.

question for any and all the mods. Off the top of your head, weirdest fucking thing a customer has asked or said to you?

also, sorry about the cunty lion

well personally its a tie between two separate things that both happened on the same day. so this drunk guy walks up to me with his dog, asks if his friends can rent a boat for one lap around the lake and then be done. we only rent in 2 hour blocks and i tell him this. it takes maybe half an hour to do a lap around the lake at most. he shouldnt even really be renting a boat because hes drunk as hell. he says hell talk to his friends. he calls the shop phone 5 minutes later while im trying to do something else and asks again if he can rent a boat for a single lap. i point out again we only rent the boats in 2 hour blocks. and he puts me on hold for 5 minutes before wordlessly hanging up.

anyways later that day some lady drove up in a golfcart and asked for a lighter. we dont have any lighters. my coworker jokingly grabbed a blowtorch. which she took to light her cigarette before getting out of the golfcart and walking around on our beach

thanks for your condolences

[ask-the-totally-real-peppino]

Have a good rest, Pep. Hope you have sweet dreams. (Do you dream? Do you remember dreaming? Oh no what if you have nightmares?)

Pep: "Buonanotte Brick. Buonanotte Poco Peppino."

(Pep and Brick are asleep.

So back to those guys?)

[arttsuka]

Petition to start explaining things better and more accurately because some of us tend to take them too literally.

[dykelawlight]

dykelawlight/sharptoothed death note fic masterpost

The official and regularly-updated list of every Death Note fic I've ever written. Here it is.

Please find my derivative fanwork permission statement (for work based on/inspired by my fanfic) here!

Offensive Maneuver | L/Light | E | 11.5k | ⚢

Nothing else — not obedience to her insane demands, neither friendliness nor the cold shoulder, not even outright rage and physical violence — has been able to shake L off the trail she’s dragged everyone along on, the one with a neon sign at the end only she can see that proclaims Light to be Kira beyond the shadow of a doubt. But this; this might do it. Light proposes an encounter to L. For strategic reasons.

Part of an ongoing series, Strategy Games; sequel forthcoming.

Hear No Evil | L/Light, side Misa/Light | E | 4.5k | ⚢

Misa presses the elevator button and heads up, up, up, all the way to Light's room on the sixteenth floor. She gets halfway down the hall before she realizes that something is off. "Please," someone who sounds very much like Light is saying, from behind Light’s bedroom door. Misa pays her girlfriend a surprise visit after-hours at the Kira Task Force headquarters, and overhears what she believes to be a brutal interrogation. After a tense bout of worried eavesdropping, she intervenes to save her. Light puts the "light" in "gaslight." L is also there.

Though I've Closed My Eyes | Light/Mikami, past L/Light | E | 3.3k | ⚢

Light had begun to require she wear the blindfold after the first time she’d fucked her. Mikami’s eyes had been wide, worshipful, pleading, and it should have done something for Light, to see all that lust and devotion in her face. Instead, it had shaken her, more than she’d care to admit. She’d seen her own face, all of eighteen, overwhelmed and wet and desperate to please, kneeling on the floor for — She is not thinking about that. Anyway. It’s easier to fuck her when Light can’t see her naked adoration. Light likes things to be easy, these days. Light and Mikami have a regular sexual relationship, which provides Mikami a further outlet for her tendency to relish obedience. L is not part of it. Light doesn't even think about L anymore.

Solid and Full | L/Light/Mikami | E | 5.8k | ⚢

She wishes very much that Light was here, guiding her, or L, even — she doesn’t know anything about this kind of thing, not really, beyond her own personal research (which was thorough, but prior to a month or two ago purely theoretical). But she had asked if Light could come with her, when Light gave her this assignment, and Light had smiled, calm and benevolent, and said absolutely not. Either way, Teru is currently standing here, by herself, on her day off, in an extremely kinky sex shop in Roppongi. It is dark and there is music and colored lighting. She is profoundly uncomfortable and she is on a mission. Death Note Kinktober 2023, day 1: toys.

to love and be loved by me | L/Light | E | 3.2k | ⚣

Always, it ends up with what is undeniably the press of someone’s cool, bony hand or scrawny denim-clad thigh or soft, once-warm mouth against him, making him twitch and shudder and whine. Always, it ends up with Light rutting into his own hand or grinding himself against his mattress or some other unseemly bit of animal behavior Light should be well above, by now, because on its own it isn’t enough, but it’s enough to get him to the uncomfortable pulse-point at which he starts to need. And he hears it. He hears it. That’s very good, Light, murmurs a low, soft voice from six feet underground. Death Note Kinktober 2023, day 11: praise kink/spectrophilia/frottage.

speak through fingers | L/Light | E | 8.1k | ⚣

The Yagami boy is leaving his room less. An interesting choice, for someone who knows his room is being watched. Light spends a lot of time pacing, now. Clutching at his hair. L watches him cycle between his bedroom and the bathroom, over and over, almost never going anywhere else. When his father goes home and Light knows that he, at least, is not watching him, he spends a lot of time scrubbing his hands. When L zooms in on archived footage, he’s able to track the progression of deep, dark circles under Light’s eyes that rival his own. Oh, and of some significance — Light’s hands, starting with his palms, have become ink-black and stained, taking on a peeling texture akin to the crust of charred meat. Death Note Kinktober, day 17: teratophilia/masturbation.

Who Shall Be Debased, And Who Exalted | Light/Mikami | E | 1.2k | ⚣

Who is a God like you, who pardons iniquity and forgives transgression …? He does not maintain his wrath forever, for he desires kindness … He will again show us mercy, he will suppress our iniquities; and you will cast all their sins into the depths of the sea. The Talmud says that between a man and God, confession must be conducted in private; to do otherwise is shameful, a display of disrespect. So they are alone, wholly alone. Death Note Kinktober 2023, day 21: hierophilia.

You Have to Understand the Way I Am | L/Light | E | 2.4k | ⚣

He is foreign to himself. He can’t believe he’s been running around playing the innocent ingénue all these months, giving so little consideration to the traps L’s laid for him since the beginning. Offering L trust, and friendship, and, most unbelievably, the use of his body. The sick part is that stupid, earnest Yagami Light, who pinky-promised he wasn’t Kira and just wanted to get to the bottom of this oh-so-terrible situation, hadn’t thought to weaponize that particular tool at all. At all! The end of L's life is rapidly approaching. Light is going to make him pay for all of the embarrassingly sweet and willing sex he's been handing over for the past three months. In spades. Death Note Secret Santa 2023 fill for MONAKISU.

Currently in the works (stay tuned):

Defensive Tactics (sequel to Offensive Maneuver, L/Light, L POV ⚢)

Of Other People's Love for Each Other (L/Light/Mikami, post-Kira AU, established Lawlight, first encounter at a kink club, Mikami POV ⚢)

To Slide Through Doors Ajar and Untouched (sequel to above; L/Light/Mikami but mostly Light/Mikami, office sex, pining, semi-established relationship, Mikami POV ⚢)

sorry for the slow update x__X (L/Light, no-note AU, Light is a prolific anonymous writer of very explicit fic & L, an avid lurker, has tracked down his actual identity, Light POV ⚣)

waiting for you just to cut to the bone (Light/Misa, established relationship, depressing zero-chemistry strap sex, Misa POV ⚢)

[gushingveins]

how do you deal with people being stupid OTHER than putting them in a trap or some shit .

“ Fuck, I don’t know. ”

He shrugged.

“ If you’re referring to someone being genuinely stupid, I usually just berate them ‘till they get whatever point i’m trying to make through their thick skulls. With assholes like Adam or Strahm, I argue with them. It doesn’t matter if I’m wrong. They give up eventually. ”

[antifathomable-shapeshifter]

If you manage to stop being so miserable without killing your worldview, please post about it I'd be curious what the secret is.

It'd be difficult for me to be a terf considering I am trans. Girlblogging probably feels adjacent to terfism because they are both misandrist (as am I), but the synergy just isn't there. Like, a coquette is "a woman who endeavors without sincere affection to gain the attention and admiration of men" it's not radfem style at all. Girlblogging is also an activity for miserable people, there isn't really content for angry nonsad women. Dead on about white women though, now way to beat that allegation.

But yeah, I can come in and say any manner of unhinged sounding things unprompted, get completely humiliated in an argument, and still feel good about myself afterwards <3

1) trans people can absolutely hold te.rf-like beliefs, and you are clearly 100% a ra.dfem, if nothing else. you literally call yourself a misad.rist. are you trans fem? it would be weirder if you werent but i dont know you so who knows.

2) they may not be te.rfs, but coq.uettes are still bioesstialist, and thats really what im complaining about in the post.

2.5) girl.bloggers do absolutely post about their fem.ale anger, that was what inspired my vent. i found their posts in the rage.core tag.

3) you are still very weird and i hope you arent doing to this to various people because thats just sad.

[plant-bioreactor-answers]

Is it possible for ghosts to haunt Plants? My brother's been on edge these days & he told me it's because he swears he sometimes sees a little girl staring at him as he checks on the Plant in his peripheral but the moment he turns, she's gone.

And here's the thing: none of his coworkers are a blonde little girl, nor are they related to one.

BUT! To be fair, so far she hasn't tried to like, kill him or even purposely scare him. She just shows up. And he swears that whenever he does, the Plant looks "happier".

Soooo thoughts?

What a fun story! To be honest with you, I do not know if ghosts even exist, much less haunt Plant facilities. I suppose that if they do, they might find those areas as easy to haunt as anywhere else. Are you sure that some local kid isn't just sneaking in from an unsecured location (DANGEROUS!) or that your brother isn't just pulling your leg to spin a good tale? ... Little blonde girl, though... I am feeling uneasy at the moment... I think I need to sit down... _ R. S.

Hi just wanted to say you're such an mvp of the magnus fandom😭 I always want to add image ID's to my posts then have no idea how to start. Yours really help with learning :)

Aw oh my gosh 🥺🥺 I'm really glad to help!! I would like to offer @rq-described as an amazing resource and reference for described tma/tmagp content, as well as dear mutuals like @saintbleeding and @ryutarotakedown!! My dms are also always open if you have any questions or would like to ask me to write an ID for you!!! Please also feel free to check out my accessibility tag, which you can also access from my sidebar on my pc theme to learn more!!

I think one of the funniest aspects of Baffy is that, Bugs is down BAD, but would rather eat dirt before admitting it.

Like he could re-arrange the entire universe for Daffy and trip him on the next morning. And bcs Daffy doesn’t know he despises Bugs ( on a very surface level bcs deep down he also cares)

yes that's exactly it! We've seen as much in bia haven't we?? it's implied Bugs knows the entire movie was going on just so Daffy could have his limelight. I even love in Bah Humduck Bugs has no purpose in the story. Like at all. Except to tease Daffy and play around with him <3 Bugs lives for that. He doesn't have to be the cool-headed joe he's gotten reduced to (at that time period) he can be his zany trickster self around him and for that alone Bugs would give him the world <3

Daffy cares too, despite his grumblings! Who tf else would burrow with Bugs? Who else would let Bugs be in charge of the map and over-prepare for when he inevitably takes a wrong direction?? Man I love these two.

[startrekdescribed]

I have a question about image descriptions. Since tumblr has the alt id function, if I put a description there should I also have a description beneath the post in text? Thank you :)

Hi, Anon!

Yes, it's simply more accessible and benefits everyone. The alt text function has never been reliable, often its inaccessible or unusable.

Pathos-logical did a great write up about why she's still copying descriptions into plain text, if you want to read it here.

As long as it's a plain text description, no fancy fonts, small text, colours. It's accessible and better for everyone.
