#btw the poll is still not over so if you want to vote

[raymoo--hackery]

I made a poll on twt asking which of the matriarchs is the hottest, and it's been SUPER CLOSE between Saki and Yachie

They've been tied, then Yachie gets slightly higher than Saki, then Saki gets slightly higher than Yachie, and it's just this constant back and forth

So, naturally, I drew this lol

SKELETAL SYSTEM BRACKET ROUND 3 GROUP A

We had two ties last round [within a margin of error of .1%!!] , so we decided it would make the most sense to make this a four-way poll. Propaganda:

Occipital Bone: do you want an unprotected cerebellum??? the infernal surface is groovy af, and all the nuchal lines are actually goated. are u seriously going to look me in the eyes and tell me the three-part bone of all time [father son and holy spirit, anyone?] can even be stepped to by some normie basic bone shit???????? cmon..... [via. @skullfuckbonegod]

Fibula: VOTE FIBULA!!!! bone with a best friend <3 Tibia already got out round 1 so its ur legal duty to stand up for its legbestie... also my hounds r named Fibula and Tibia and theyre adorbsies [via. @sodiumradiation]

Thoracic Vertibrae: twelve bones. twelve bones, one combined goal: fuck shit up, take names, keep that back backing. least commonly injured part of the spine for a reason. its built different. this shit protects ur spinal cord, provides attachments to your ribs, supports your chest and abdomen, and literally lets yr body move. objective best bones. [via. @ithinkthereforisam]

Scalpula: Scapula sweep!! Those are your angel wings. Watching your Cavs shoulder blades move under their skin while they carry a big sword is the best part of being a necro. They're also just such a good plane of bone they're perfect for breaking up into little pieces for bone adepts to store in their pockets. Also the attachment point for a bunch of muscles!!and the yummy little joint cavity… [via. @kavkisser]

Wayne Rogers Vs. Alejandro Rey

Propaganda

Wayne Rogers - (M*A*S*H, Stagecoach West, City of Angels) - "He just had this warmth and gentleness to him that made him sooo attractive no matter at what age..." Full text propaganda below the cut.

Alejandro Rey - (The Flying Nun) - With its mostly female core cast, The Flying Nun may be an odd property to source a Hot Man from, but look at him. As debonair playboy Carlos Ramirez, Rey had to meet the difficult task of being suave and sexy but also really over the top, continually exasperated, and funny, and he delivered so well. He's hilarious as a foil to Sally Field's earnest Sister Bertrille, Carlos essentially being her combination best friend, low-stakes antagonist, shenanigans victim, and (according to some fans) maybe love interest. Though primarily acting for comedy, Rey's also able to handle scenes that require more warmth and subtlety, and he just looks divine. The eyes and the profile alone are enough to make you forgot the ridiculous late-60s fashions he wears.

Wayne Rogers:

He just had this warmth and gentleness to him that made him sooo attractive no matter at what age. If his good looks and his charming smile (and those curls ahh!) aren't enough to convince you to vote for this nice, funny, 6ft tall man, then let me hit you with some random information What i adore is the duality of this man! First he served his duty in the navy and was about to study law when he accompanied a friend to a theatre play one evening and was so amazed by the art of acting that he decided to achieve an acting career instead. When he wanted to leave MASH after only three seasons -although the contract said for him to stay much longer-, they couldn't do anything about it bc he hadn't even signed it in the first place (there was a paragraph in it that he strongly disagreed with). If that isn't badass idk what is! And later in his career, not only did he act, write and produce all kinds of TV, movie and stage productions but he also started a successful financial business. Also (at least when he was older) he supposedly went for a swim in the sea EVERY morning. Btw when he was still getting started and was financially struggling, he shared a flat in New York and an overcoat for auditions with (also still struggling) colleague Peter Falk

my outsiders essay i wrote in eighth grade on "what is a hero? who is the hero in the outsiders? why?" (236 words, all quotes from the book):

my outsiders essay now (2k words, all nonsense but there’s a point in there somewhere):

Juliette Damthosefandoms

Transcribed by Mage Mutopians (because I’m lazy but I still edited it after. if there's typos blame mage they just typed every word i said)

Hero Essay 2.0

Way, way back in spring 2014, when I was thirteen years old, I was tasked with writing an essay about what the definition of a hero is and who I think the main hero of the Outsiders story was. I said that there was only one character in that story and his name was Johnny Cade and he was “defiantly” the hero. After submitting that essay, there was a day where I was in a PPT meeting (because if this doesn’t make it clear that I have ADHD I don’t know what will), and I have a very specific memory of it being brought up to give me more instruction in adding detail to my writing. Now, I have spent way too much time putting entirely too much detail into my writing to the point where I do not believe in anything that is not a run-on sentence. (I am sorry for making you type this @mutopians.) (It’s okay @damthosefandoms <3) Anyway. In this essay, I will explain what I think the definition of a hero is after having spent many years obsessing over superheroes, which doesn’t apply to the Outsiders, but it could, if you write a 22k fic and not post it. (Drop the fic Julie-) (NO.) Anyway. Again. 

A hero….What’s a hero? A hero is (I think I stand by whatever my original definition was) probably somebody who helps people who are in need or go out of their way to do things to do-Fuck it. I don’t know. If you’re going for the Batman definition, it’s Darry, because he’s taking kids off the street. This also works for Johnny because he took kids out of the building. To quote my essay from almost eleven years ago, “To start, Johnny ran into the church after Ponyboy.  “‘Hey, Ponyboy.’ I looked around, startled. I hadn’t realized Johnny had been right behind me all the way.” (Pg.91-92) He wasn’t afraid to go into a fire to save those kids.” (Me, 2014). (insert Mage and Julie argument over the appropriate way to cite an essay from 2014 in MLA while Julie pets Mage’s cat) If we’re talking about saving people, Johnny fits the bill. 

Moving on, I was rereading that essay and laughing at it so I posted it on Tumblr the other day and did a poll and you guys decided that, as of December 23rd 2024 at 3:18 PM EST, Johnny is defiantly the hero at 65.2% of the 23 votes. Soda and/or Darry have 21.7% of the vote. Other has 13% but nobody actually put in the tags who they thought the other heroes would have been so. I don’t know what was going on there. Ponyboy, I guess it’s my fault for making it biased because I called him the boring answer. But he didn’t do anything heroic so I stand by it. He has 0% of the vote. Not even zero point something. Just zero. So that’s apparently what the internet thinks. There’s five days left on the poll if you want to vote on that, but I don’t think that’s going to change. My theory is that the Johnny thing was winning because I made the joke about the typo earlier in the post and I think Soda and/or Darry are just because of musical fans bias, which I’ll get into in a minute. 

(Right now, at this point, I asked Mage to put in a word count, because I’m having fun.) (Counting this part, there’s 601 words.) (I had to teach Mage how to enable the word counter on Google Docs just btw.) (In my defense it intimidates me when I’m staring at an already blank page) 

What was the point of this again? (Julie then paused to pet my cat and say he was cute.) Where am I? We need to figure out who the hero is. In the musical, let’s talk about that, there’s a lot of bias. Giving Soda and/or Darry as an option didn’t help because I kinda knew that, as we’ve all grown up and reread the book in a different point in our lives and listened to the musical on repeat for six months straight and nothing else and except Christmas music recently and and the occasional One Direction song back in October (RIP Liam Payne), we all know how the story goes. Now that we’ve seen a point of view that’s not just Ponyboy’s and we’ve accepted he’s an unreliable narrator and we’ve all listened to “Finale (Tulsa ‘67)” we know what Ponyboy’s point of view is: “And now I look at what my brothers do for me. They’re the reason that I’m standing here right now. One thing’s for certain, I can say without a doubt. Those heroes paved the way so I could finally make it out.” (Outsiders Musical) (I’m not doing any other in-text citations now because I hate them and they’re stupid and if you’re reading this you know where it’s from. Goodbye.)

Anyway, Ponyboy sees his brothers as heroes at the end of the story. I think that now that we’ve all grown up enough to realize that Darry isn’t abusive and was just scared and that hitting Pony in the face wasn’t intentional, it’s just what siblings do, and if you’ve never slapped your brother before, you’re lying. Obviously in the context of the situation, it wasn’t cool, but sometimes the Cain instinct just takes over. Johnny even says I think later on in the musical that Darry probably didn’t mean it, and if the kid who consistently is getting abused is saying that Darry didn’t mean it, then Darry probably didn’t mean it. It’s also interesting that after it happens, during all of “Far Away from Tulsa,” Darry is still on the stage literally just sitting there on the floor staring into nothing like “what the fuck did I just do.” He did not mean it. Thirteen year old me did not understand this but I grew up and I get it now.

We can talk about Darry a little bit because I do actually think that maybe it could be him who’s the hero because if you think of it from a grown up point of view and not a thirteen year old point of view, he has so much going on and they don’t even realize how much shit he gave up for them. Some of them might, but they don’t appreciate it and should appreciate it more. Ponyboy realizes it at the end and that’s kind of the whole problem of their relationship. It took the whole plot for him to realize it. But, like, he literally could have gone to college and didn’t. To be fair, in the book canon, he didn’t get that scholarship, but in the musical he did. He had to drop out of school, he probably lost a lot of friends in the process, everybody is giving him shit and calling him a soc and being shitty to him and he’s just like…no wonder he’s no fun now, when he’s worried about Ponyboy running around and getting in trouble and risking social services getting called on him. Give the man a break. He’s twenty. He should be at the club. He got punched by his ex-boyfriend because Pony was out past curfew. So let’s say Darry is the hero of the story, and needs a break, and. You know. To not live in 1960s Oklahoma where if he’s gay, his brothers will get taken away. 

Soda’s probably also got a little bit of hero in him, but didn’t get the opportunity to show it much. He probably had his big hero moment way earlier closer to when their parents died but that’s not explained in the book so yeah.. Rigjt now he’s  just there for hugs and to keep his brothers from killing each other. Also maybe for sending that letter? But otherwise if you think about it, what does he do? And I’m a Soda stan, so I can say that. Although, I will give you, that the ADHD/dyslexia combo really does give demigod vibes and by the Percy Jackson definition of the word  that makes him a hero. So. You know. Yeah. Also, he’s like the only thing keeping Pony from total self-destruction. He did step up a lot, too. He dropped out of school and got a job to help Darry pay the bills. He does so much for their family and is very underappreciated, and I say this as someone who only writes fics based  around Soda. I’m just having trouble coming up with examples off the top of my head. This is hard. We’ve just written a 1300 word essay in under half an hour and I’m just talking off the top of my head while Mage types this for me so please excuse me for being stupid. Sodapop Curtis. I fuckin love that kid.

 Let’s talk about Johnny again. Because he…what does he do? Johnny stabs Bob and Bob had it coming. I think in the book Cherry says that Bob had it coming. And I quote, “Maybe Bob asked for it. I know he did. But I could never look at the person who killed him.” (Julie gave in and checked for quotes but still will not put actual citations in.) (I wanted to read that line is my excuse.) It was gayer in the musical. That’s a lie, actually. Johnny and Dally were gayer in the book, but Johnny and Ponyboy were gayer in the musical. We all listened to “Faraway from Tulsa” and “Death’s at my Door.” You know.

BUT. However. I don’t care if I get crucified for this by musical stans. There is something to be said about the part in the book where (and I specify in the book because the book characters are very different than the musical characters and that context is important. It’s a different universe. Pay attention) they’re driving back from the Dairy Queen and it’s not just that, yes, Johnny stood up to Dally at the drive-in and told him to leave Cherry alone because frankly Dally was being a gross piece of shit to her (men are disgusting <3). Dally got mad at him because “I went out of my way to get you this and Johnny was like we’re going to turn ourselves in and didn’t care what Dally thought blah blah blah”. Johnny is a lot braver than we think and they argue like an old married couple (DALLY BEGS AND TALKS TO JOHNNY IN A VOICE PONY HAS NEVER HEARD BEFORE?). And Dally said that they were going to get in so much trouble, and Johnny said it was the right thing to do. He didn’t want Ponyboy to get in trouble. He knew going back and turning himself in was the only way to ensure that he didn’t screw things over for the Curtises. 

Which, kind of the whole idea, is that everyone is trying to do what they can to keep the brothers together. Maybe the real hero was the rest of the gang. Like maybe that’s why Steve didn’t want Ponyboy to ever tag along if he knew there was a chance he and Soda would get in trouble. (Soda’s a lot closer to being an adult than Ponyboy is, so if he got in trouble and taken away and had to be on his own, he could, but Ponyboy’s got a lot longer until he turns 18. It would be a bigger deal for him to be put in a boys’ home than Soda, who is almost 17 and has a lot more freedom and would only be there for a year.) There’s this one part that, it’s in the book and movie where Two-Bit checks if Ponyboy has a fever by putting his hand on his forehead. It’s like they’re all watching out for them because that’s rule number one of being a greaser: stick together. That, and don’t get caught. They do that, help out, because that’s what the brothers do for them, like when Dally calls for help at the very end of the book, and Darry and the gang drop everything to go get him (and just to see him die, but, you know). That’s why Darry keeps the door unlocked. Pony says he could call Two-Bit to come pick him up in his car, but Pony decides to walk home alone anyway. But they’re always around. It’s about COMMUNITY!!!

In conclusion, I still don’t believe in conclusion paragraphs, the only one who’s not a hero is Ponyboy because he didn’t do jack shit. (I guess he did run into the church to save kids. And other things. But. You know. I don’t feel like talking slash writing about that right now.) Want a conclusion? Read what I wrote. The end.

itzsubz maid dress. you agree. reblog.

“why would you do this” well. so theres this poll bracket going around called @mcyt-trios (go vote for eclipse federation btw!) and as a bribe for this, an artist (@ssseriema) promised to hold a poll to draw two mcyters of its followers choice in maid dresses. subz was on that poll. he did not win, but still the idea of this image captivated me.

i was encouraged and enabled. so! here we are.

(i was originally going to render him also, however i am currently participating in a gift exchange, and have another one coming up right after that, so i want to focus on those right now. and college exists. also its already over a month after i started this. i said id be done in a week.)

[20dollarlolita]

I'm running some ideas past my work, and I'd just like some opinions here.

My company can only currently ship to the USA, but I will alert everyone if we go international. Currently we have fewer than 40 employees, spread across 4 stores, so we don't have the logistical support for international mailing.

If you were already looking to buy a sewing machine, would you be interested in buying that machine over the internet, from the company I work for? I might be able to get a discount code for my store's website that I could just post here, so you could use it at checkout and my store would know that my blog brought you there.

The one catch is that I know most people who read this budget egl and sewing blog aren't really looking to drop $6000 on a machine, and our profit margins are lower on the less expensive machines. So my question is: would 5% off a machine and the novelty of buying it from me be enough to make you want to shop at my company, rather than another online sewing machine dealer?

BTW if you ARE looking to get a mid- to top-line machine, please message me and I can give you my work email. I have some power over pricing on the fancier machines, and some discount codes I can only give out in a personal email or phone call. The code I'm asking about in this post would be for if you're interested in buying a machine from a website and don't want to go through the social energy if speaking to a human. Sometimes you want a Baby Lock Zeal and you don't want to have to talk to a human to get one. As someone who sometimes doordashes food to avoid the human interaction element of ordering, I fully understand.

I feel a little dumb for adding the Jily first kiss in BTW 😅 Like, silly me for thinking y’all would actually vote for something else.

Probably won't be 600 words, but it'll still be a little peek! (Let’s all respect the honor system!)

She feels it happening—her grip on control loosening with every tick of the clock as her stomach flutters and her heart beats and her skin heats under his gaze. The words did something to her too, strange as it is. Maybe it’s because since she’s come to Hogwarts, she hasn’t really felt that anything had been hers. That’s not true. She has her tears, her simmering rage, her unshakable pride.  And maybe now, after all these years—after detentions and Hogsmeade trips and arguments and distance—she could have him. Her Head Boy.  She cocks her head to the side, an innocent smile playing at her lips. “What? Thought it was 'no big deal'.” She lets her thumb slide just a few centimeters—enough for him to remember her hand on his arm, but not enough to be a caress. “Yeah, well, I’m full of shit,” he says, voice low and eyes suddenly a shade darker, hungrier. Lily’s attention drops to his lips and she feels a pulse of excitement course through her before meeting his eyes again. “I could’ve told you that,” she breathes, lifting her chin up—in a silent dare or for an easier target, she’s not sure—but whatever meaning Potter infers from it, his lips are on hers in seconds, hand snaking around her waist to pull her closer as his other palm softly cradles her cheek. Kissing James Potter was unlike anything she had imagined it would be (because yes, she had imagined it, in another life—one before self-imposed isolation and loneliness). She had expected it to be almost frantic, the energy that practically overflows from him leading to restless hands and a need to race and explore every new facet available. Instead, he lingers. He savors. Lily all-too-readily leans into his lips, arms winding around his neck and fingers tangling in his unruly curls. His tongue gently runs across her bottom lip and she eagerly meets him, her hands pulling his head down closer, breaths mingling in a slow, electrifying kiss. She breathes, and it’s all him—sun and spice and woods.   In some of the push-and-pull, her shirt rides up a bit in the back, allowing calloused fingers to burn her with every brush against her skin. It sends a shiver up her spine and she hums in appreciation, the sound encouraging more exploration as his hands dance slow and featherlight over her back, her arms, her neck as Potter tucks some hair behind her ear. After a few unsuccessful attempts, he slowly pulls back and Lily’s eyes flutter open, her breathing short. They’re close, arms still wrapped around each other, and Potter—James—is looking at her with disbelief, fingers softly stroking the skin of the small of her back.  So much is unsaid between them, the air thick with confusion and excitement and terror, but Lily can’t help but blush under the weight of his gaze.

[image description: tags that read "# also all of the entropic float characters hace really cool designs # someone needs to tell me what it's about". end image description]

well, boy, im so glad you asked!

before we get there - hello, the person who has been obsessed with the visual novel in question for almost a year speaking. for any poll you see an entropic float character in, i am always one of the people to have submitted them, and i am the person who has been writing most of the propaganda for them (qpr-competition is also me, btw, any "i wrote that massive essay" over there come from me as well). my obsession is in part fueled by the fact that almost nobody knows it, but ive been working on that

with that out of the way...

Entropic Float: This World Will Decay And Disappear is a visual novel that features a cast of 14 characters in an Anomalous Clocktower. the anomaly is of the timeloop type - every 24 hours, as the clock strikes midnight, time rewinds, and you might or might not be able to remember the events of the past loops.

ive said this before and ill say it again - i consider the selling point of the game to be the characters, which is great, because at its core its about getting to know and love them - the phrase "mortifying ordeal of being known" is used verbatim in the route leading up to the true ending.

for example, Peri and Abel, both featured in this poll, are canonically aroace. they have been joined at the hip since they were kids, although that wasnt quite for the right reasons - Peri was being raised as a bodyguard for Abel and his older brother. at the core of their shared character arc is the struggle against amatonormativity - people assuming that, since theyre a boy and a girl and are best friends, they must fall in love with each other eventually, and are just too young right now; that they should give it time, and it will happen. the pressure is worrying for both of them, and Abel in particular has gone on puberty blockers; "these people must be right, but i dont want to become someone who falls in love, so i will stave off my growing up".

Jasper Jasmine "Jazz" Jekyll, who has been voted out in the preliminaries, is grey-aromantic and pansexual. however, the more present in the narrative part of her character is that she is a trans woman, and that she considers her gender to have changed rather than having always been there; "i was fine being a boy until i wasnt". she is working towards her masters in social studies, and has used her falling into the anomaly as data for her thesis.

as i have said, there is a total of 14 characters in the main cast; ive told you about three, as they are fitting for the theme of the bracket, but all of them are queer of various flavours, and written in a very alive way - from Shinji who im pretty sure is only stated to be bisexual in his profile and nowhere in the rest of the text, to Kanatsun who brings up questioning his sexuality in his memories and is still written down as questioning, to Loam whose gender identity isnt respected because of their disability, to JJ who throughout the anomaly gains the courage to come out as trans to his adoptive mom... theres a lot of different ones! fourteen of them!

and btw, its free, and available on steam and itch

Oooh!!!

I’m toning down the ‘alien ethereal uncanny eldritch angelic body horror beauty’ angle seeing as y’all are probably sick of that after my other propaganda posts. Don’t want these to get too boring, after all! No point in just repeating the same stuff over and over again haha.

I will still be bringing up his insane proportions though. 70% legs. This gif is pretty dark so I don’t know if you can make them out but MAN, if he weren’t an outlaw he could be a model. Cinched waist too.

Also~ I love his outfit so so much I love the way his coat’s strips move when he walks or when the wind blows. I love the slits up to his hips. I love all the useless belts. And that’s not to mention the undersuit! Leather gloves up to his biceps, thigh-high boots, the skintight crop top- I aspire to dress as slutty as vash some day. He’s serving.

More evidence as to how long his legs are/how slutty his undersuit is. Is that a chastity belt. King. He is so aesthetically appealing to me, just, peak design 👌👌

What no I’m not trying to thirstbait you into reading trigun what are you waking about. Anyways, a new tristamp episode came out and this one had a shirtless scene!

Thank you tristamp animators 🙏🙏

Also, vash has dimples! I don’t particularly care about dimples, I think they’re pretty nice, but I hear some people like find them very attractive. Well hellooo? Come get your food? Also he’s got little fangs <33

I really like his musculature too, it’s drawn very pleasingly. Very gender. I need to bite him you don’t understand. Anyways uhh. Tiddy.

Yeah that’s right you’re just getting the blatant thirst bait now. Is is making you want to read trigun be honest. Vote vash for his FAT TITS and tiny waist, what more do you want in a man. What? Kindness? Personality? Well this ain’t about that! (Though vash is certainly very kind as well, aaa >///<)

Also his ✨scars✨ I find them very appealing <33 Everything about him is so gorgeous.

If we’re talking about aspects of vash I find beautiful, we can’t leave out his beauty mark! It is so important to me. It’s in the name!

Also, look at his lips! So pouty! Isn’t he gorgeous? Very pretty boy.

He looks very attractive when he gets serious as well, albeit in a different way. He has the range! I like how his eyes sharpen and his voice deepens, and the air of confidence that comes with it.

He is so good-looking. Beautiful man. I love him so much.

Also here’s vash getting choked against a wall because I mentioned it last time. Studio orange knows full well what they are doing and I’m never forgiving them for this (I am forgiving them so hard, in fact I am supporting their every endeavour).

I’m not lying. This shit happens all the time like vash is the fanservice character in this show. Also wolfwood? And mayb- ok so it’s just the guys. Mainly vash though like you don’t see any of the others tumbling ass-over-tit pussy to the sky. He’s so silly and delightful.

I’ve never felt attraction in my life btw I just appreciate him <33 he’s very pretty and I want other people to think he’s pretty too. I want him to do well in a poll for once please. Please I’m begging you. Vote for vash it would be so sexy please.

its propaganda time

is it bad that i'm like. having conflicted feelings about how the convert poll results are going so far? like. i'm someone who converted, and i fully understand that people are going to be in a space where they want to convert but can't start the process - heck, that was me for a while. but the fact that people who are thinking about starting but haven't makes up over 1/3 (and climbing) of jumblr that the poll has reached so far makes me feel a little like. hm. not like people are 'fetishizing' judaism, but kind of that people want to identify as 'vaguely interested in judaism' without (for the most part) taking any steps to learn about judaism beyond a surface level, and counting themselves as vaguely part of the community despite still being non-jews who aren't converting and aren't family/married to a jew and have no connection, the same as like 99.9% of goyim. idk how to phrase it, but i think that gets kind of close to my thoughts.

Yes. It is bad. 

What an absolutely horrible thing to accuse people of. Based on what? An anonymous poll on tumblr dot com? 

What do you think they gain out of voting in this poll exactly? And how do you know they aren’t learning beyond a surface level? 

Have you considered that they’re still exploring Judaism to see if the lifelong commitment is right for them? Have you read the tags from the people who have said they’re considering converting? Because I have, and most of them have good reasons for not starting the process or are simply still undecided, which is entirely valid.  

And how do you know they aren't married to someone who is Jewish or in other ways connected to the Jewish community?

What kind of clout do you think people are getting here?  Why would you immediately jump to them being performative? Shame on you. 

Jumblr is an excellent resource for people who are interested in Judaism but want to learn more before reaching out to a Rabbi. And heck, maybe they already have but haven’t officially started the process yet. It’s a great way for people to ask questions (which is the main point of my blog btw), see what Jewish community is like, and get more information before they decide. It makes 100% logical sense to me that a poll from my blog has a lot of people considering converting. That’s like almost all of my asks. 

And why shouldn’t people be thinking about converting? What’s wrong with wanting to convert. Remember that you were once in their shoes. How would you have felt reading what you just sent me before you started your conversion? 

Even if they don’t end up converting, they will know more about Jewish religion and culture from considering converting and doing research, and I think that’s pretty awesome. 

None of them are claiming to be Jews anywhere at all, and “vaguely interested in Judaism” is an absolutely fine thing to be. None of them are claiming to be a part of the Jewish community anywhere. Thinking about converting is not an identity. It’s an interest, and that’s fine as long as it’s done respectfully and there is absolutely nothing in this poll to point to them being disrespectful. 

I suggest you reflect on why you feel this way about people thinking about converting because they're not the issue here. You are.

why you should vote maryiam baskerville in the @lesbocs poll

i put off making a propaganda post for a while but here's my attempt at one now. the long and short of mary is that she's an autistic trans lesbian cursed with the ability of seeing the supernatural who attends an all girls catholic school and she's absolutely hellbent on destroying her entire hometown because she hates everyone there. she's a sad pathetic loser girlflop and very strange. here are a few reasons why i love her and why you should love her too!

she's the "antagonist" (quote marks because the narrative itself is the antagonist and she's just a stand-in) and yes she has indirectly committed murder at seventeen over high school bullying. but who hasn't?

certified relatable girlflop. she's actually fairly talented at a few different niche things she taught herself ( creating software bugs, crocheting, memorizing scientific animal names ) and she's a really good artist ( but everything she draws is weird and gorey ) but she sucks at everything else. average c student who can't socialize for shit and is constantly losing things and is clumsy as hell and is relentlessly bullied by the whole school for every flaw of hers.

oh also she's a closet goth. she can't dress the way she wants to because of catholic school uniform requirements but if she could be decked out in victorian goth dresses she would. also she's super into the occult and creepy and likes both cute and gross things.

in the third "act" (it would be the third hypothetical game) she gets a fake girlfriend named odette tsehay who she immediately has very intense homoerotic tension with but ultimately they pull an orpheus and eurydice if orpheus was a bitch and did it on purpose. sorry they're toxic yuri sorry as if i could write anything else.

she acts a bit off and is very visibly neurodivergent and is not the friendliest because of it but if you take the time to get to know her, she's... still not the best but a very silly quirky girl who is just desperately trying to find a place where she belongs. YES she's selfish and YES she doesn't really learn anything or improve YES she can be kind of mean herself despite being a victim of bullying YES she's weird a weird doesn't fit in but i love her and so should you. please vote for her if you want to!!!

and btw look how cute she is!! QUITE MOE!!!!

Final Push Push Game Update

The 7 days are over, I still have pushes to do and... uhm...

13.506

edges to complete before I am allowed to cum again.

About that btw. Full transparency.

I came this morning. It was an accident, whoops. Not sure if it was a ruined orgasm bc of that, but I doubt it.

Anyways, I'll be counting my days without orgasms starting from 0 again starting today.

I'll be putting the number of edges I have left in my bio, my days since my last orgasm, too, if it's been more than 16 days (my personal edging/denial record).

If that number isn't there in 16 days. Well.

Again, full transparency. Ever since I managed those full 16 days without cumming I never managed to get even close to that number.

Idk blame it on the T or something but sometimes I just get so horny I just have to cum. Can't stop myself even when I want to. Even if it's only so the urge is satisfied and my mind is cleared so I can focus on other things.

Because despite how much I love edging being a mindless edgeslut 24/7 just isn't realistic haha <3

I'll keep doing the pushes and post about it, then I'll do the edges and keep y'all updated.

Other than that, my blog will go back to normal. I'll keep my pinned post until I'm done with the pushes.

Thank you everyone who sent asks and voted in polls <3

What Do You Want to See Next?

Dove's Polling Station

So, I have several ideas floating around in my head, and I want to see what people want next.

Since I spat out 15.5K words alone for Octavinelle's Soul Match parts so I'm going to try to take it easy for the remainder of this week. Brainstorm the other characters' parts; 7 are in the line-up as of now, but I'm open to making more for characters who weren't originally planned for it.

I do still have 4 slots open for match-up requests at the time I'm putting this up. So do feel free to pop on over. [check ask box for status]

Voting will end in a week; I may or may not post content until then, most likely self-indulgent stuff until the poll closes, recuperate from writing.

I know that long-form fics often don't get a lot of attention, but I love writing them and find them easier to write than short headcanons. They aren't for everyone though.

If you have any suggestions, always feel free to drop one in replies or the ask box; my ask box is always open btw.

[adamnablelittledevil]

I'm a little late because I was waiting to have more mutuals to tag (I made this blog just a few days ago, so I'm still super new here), but let's go.

@jaypentaghast, thank you so much for tagging me! I love doing these games and music/TV shows are like my biggest passions, so it's the most fun theme too.

Btw, your songs are awesome (didn't know any of them, so thanks for the introduction!) and voted for A Lack of Color because it was my favorite. And I see what you mean about it, I immediately thought of Armandiel too. The lyrics are great and the sound was so relaxing, which I think it's the kind of relationship Armand needs (at least on the show). I loved it. :)

Put your music library on shuffle, then list the first five songs that come up in a poll to let people vote for which one they like the most!

I did this with my largest YouTube playlist because I listen to live performances almost as much as actual studio recordings:

Btw, this made me go back down the rabbit hole of Demi's and MCR's lore and I'm on my feelings all over again lmao.

I tag @athenagray, @beautitudes, @alex1424, @baby-on-the-net, @mindflamer and anyone who might want to do this. ^^

Challenging you all!

Put your music library on shuffle, then list the first five songs that come up in a poll to let people vote for which one they like the most!

Then tag Tumblr friends to keep the game going!

First of all bestie you could NEVER make me hate you especially over a silly hairstyle! And if people end be up hating on you for that… that’s not it lol also this is gonna part 1 of my ramble 😭

ANWAYS I’m in constant conflict with how I feel about that mullet HAHA at first I was like “a mullet?! WHY?” But then I saw the vision and kinda liked it😔 and rn I’m not sure tbh! BUT I’m not sure if it’s bc he’s HARRY and I’m just kind “blinded” by finding him attractive in general lol bc he’s definitely hot no matter what in my eyes so idk lol plus I fear I’m so use to seeing so many people have mullets (I guess it’s trendy now?!) that maybe I’m just not as big of a hater as I use to be lol btw I LOVED the visuals you gave! That tattoo roulette pic has me STUNNED the first time I saw it! And I kinda love you’re not an automatic lhh lover🤭 though I am a fan of when he had a middle part, like for when he did SNL so idk about my opinion lol

I simply am lowkey sick of my phone lately so idk wtf is going on lol though I love polls! It’s interesting what people are thinking! I genuinely don’t remember exactly what was the last poll I got to vote on but I remember clicking on a Sun kissed option and I was in the minority of votes 😭

SAM YOURE GONNA KILL ME WITH THAT BREEDING KINK!!! I will simply cease to exist whenever we get to meet that Harry😵‍💫 I truly love how you write your Harry’s like i simply can’t!!! And bestie I love when a man is begging and just groveling on the FLOOR for forgiveness!! Very excited 😌

Omg you’re of course one of those people!! Honestly I would have been more surprised if babies WEREN’T drawn to you lol I’m sure it’s just a vibe you give off like babies can see your pure and sweet heart! In another universe you most likely would have had your Honey moment or like a daycare moment! And omg that’s absolutely such an adorable moment and such a good concept 😭

Financial anxiety is so REAL! Especially since you mentioned how growing up it impacted you a lot! And growing up poor too, i totally get it!! It’s a very conflicting feeling lol

Omg bestie you don’t even KNOW how obsessed I was with fucking true crime and like paranormal stuff growing HAHAHA the true crime stuff now terrifies me now bc HELLO?!? But honestly some of these murder mystery books I got to reread again are kinda still a slay lol but the pottery stuff I got really into it in middle school and lowkey stopped reading it when the pandemic hit lol anyways finished sorting out some books so I will be donating them later this week!

Agree about the AC!! Growing up in school there was NO AC and we had to constantly suffer with the heat waves! Girl you’re like a young millennial which makes sense you would be drawn to that aesthetic and there’s nothing wrong with it! If it makes you happy then there’s no harm!

I always get so sad/worried when my dogs are slightly off bc I love them 😭 When I tell you the first thing encounter I had with my finaid office I fucking CRIED! Had to wait on a fuck ass zoom for almost two hours only for a MAN to tell me it was my fault(it fucking was a mistake on their end) and to just get loans and a payment plan was my HELL!!! My mom had to calm me down it was so embarrassing lol Anyways I loved that you gave that feedback and honestly very you and I love that!

I actually decided to shorten the black dress to like my mid thigh!! Sounds short but I’m not tall so it will look somewhat okay lol and the second one is actually a dark blue dress that shimmers when it hits a certain light! It looks black but it’s actually blue and I’m excited to wear it! That one will be slightly above the knee! And maxi dresses are cute! And I bet they look cute on you!!

Hope you had a lovely weekend! Hope it was restful and fun! ALSO I hope your week is starting well!! LOVE YOU!!!-💜

I'm putting a cut here because I wanted to warn anyone else that reads our pen pal letters that I'm going to talk about audio porn a little lol what an ENTRANCE to this message idk if you'll even be able to tell where my train of thought came from to introduce it like this 😂

Number one--obsessed with two part asks hehehe I love this for us. SAW THE VISION. I'm glad you saw it I haven't 💀 I think I def have this blindness as well but it's so trendy rn and I'm just NOT hear for it. If my bf got a mullet I would shave his head tbh. I just think his hair looked stringy and needed a wash and I haven't forgiven him for that 😭 I wash my hair every day because Harry and I actually have very similar hair and if I don't wash it every day it gets so greasy and gross (and before anyone comes for me I KNOW it's because I wash it every day 🙃 but I can't do it. I just feel better when I shower so what am I going to do? I do so little for my own self care ANYWAY)

I LOVE polling everyone. I think it's so helpful 😭 and I agree, knowing what everyone thinks really helps inform my decision and focus to write.

HEHEHEHE you may have already met that Harry Not to out myself here but I recently downloaded Quinn which is audio porn and it's *mwah* chef's kiss. It's giving me all kinds of ideas for Harry and I like to find the audios where the guy is all worshippy of the girl. Honestly, I don't even listen to it for the porn part I'm just here for the plot 😂 there's a couple brother's best friend's ones that have me salivating to write something. I'm AMPED.

I think in another life I probably will open a day care. I should have just taught elementary school the way the gods probably intended me to but alas. Knock on wood my group is... don't want to jinx it but I will say I'm not exhausted right now (at least not from teaching).

I'm not tall either so I get it. I love a shimmery dress! That sounds so nice! I've been getting tons of compliments on all my clothes recently so I like to believe I might be figuring out my own sense of style. Even the kids notice and think I look cute which is not the point but I think it's nice they notice because a lot of these kids are so trendy and adorable. One of my students from a couple years ago should have won best dressed. She could have worn a trash bag to soo. She was so adorable and I would ask for her opinion about what I should wear to chaperone prom/homecoming 😂

I hope you NEVER have to talk to financial aid ever again 💕

I had a slightly busy but good weekend. I was very productive and I'm trying to keep pace because I fear October is going to be busy as hell 🙃

I hope your week is going well too 💕 LOVE YOU!
