#but if you need to for some reason you can reblog the past pinned post about the gallery!

[robo-dino-puppy]

I hit a sort of follower milestone recently (and I'm reasonably sure most of you aren't bots) so... new pinned post time!

(to all the followers and moots I see in my notifs all the time - I love you all so much ♡)

▷ First of all:

I made horizon-armor and you should check it out if you've ever wanted a gallery of all Aloy's armor and dye options from HFW :D Here's a previous pinned post about it. This ↑ is the card I made for it in the Horizon Database, which is not mine but you should also check out if you're interested in gameplay mechanics/tips/tricks/practically any info you ever wanted to know about HFW. (the database was put together by twingeofregret on Arktix's discord, and many of the items there were put together by other server members)

▷ Second, I don't think it needs saying? But DON'T REPOST - meaning, don't reupload in your own post - any of my work and don't upload it to any other sites. Yeah this is "only" virtual photography but I still spend time on it and it's mine. Please don't, for anyone's creations. Reblog or share links!

▷ Thirdly, absolutely feel free to use my pics as drawing/art references or personal phone backgrounds! (But please don't edit my shots and repost them.) If you use things as references I'd love to be tagged so I can see what you drew/painted/whatevered <3

...the rest below a cut because I don't know how to be brief...

▷ Fourth: I would very much appreciate anyone who wants to add image descriptions to my posts - I know it's a sucky excuse but when I've tried doing it I just end up exhausted and feel like it's either too longwinded or not a good description at all. So if anyone who is good with words would like to help me out I'd be super grateful! I'll reblog your addition and (if you're cool with it) I can add it to the alt text of the image.

▷ Fifth: With the more-real-than-ever possibility of Tumblr imploding, I thought I'd also include where else you might find me! I'm not going anywhere until this place melts down because Tumblr is the only place I've ever felt comfortable, but I also have an account on Reddit (ew) that I use occasionally: I'm robo_dino_puppy there. I put Horizon videos on YouTube sometimes: I'm robo-dino-puppy over there too. I exist on Discord although it's rather... social for me and honestly I'm still not sure if I'm doing it right haha. I guess I should make an effort to join more servers to keep track of people just in case, but I've always felt like I'd be a fraud or an invader with the ship servers because I don't actually ship Aloy with anyone...

As a backup for the armor gallery I've snagged horizon-armor (and robo-dino-puppy, for that matter) on Neocities, but there's nothing there at the moment because I'm currently waaaaay too braindead to create a site from scratch. Also empty right now, but in case of future need I'm squatting on robo-dino-puppy on Dreamwidth and Pillowfort.

And now thanks to a kindly-provided invite, robo-dino-puppy on Bluesky!

aaaaand finally I'm also @robo-dino-puppies if you're interested in my non-Horizon stuff/reblogs/my sideblog 👀

Hey, isn't it so..."Great" that Viv is out here liking posts that clearly find moments where Angel is being sexual with his rapist "Hot" How much more telling can this all get, right? We really sit here, having to explain how fucked up it is to take SA, try to tackle it "seriously" but then proceed to not even do it for that reason. Only for it to be for angst and goon material. How do you expect me to SIT HERE and take whatever Viv has to offer seriously? The number of people I have seen trying to justify this gross behavior is abysmal. If you have this kink or whatever, fine not like I can stop you, be into that shit somewhere else, but DO NOT try and TACKLE IT only for it to be not even seen as serious or as a way for you to get off to your sick fantasies.

Why the hell would you like this? "Angel with his abusive rapist boss😝, so hot guys! Can'tstop thinking about it!"

What good reason would Viv have in liking this post? Why do over 4k people find a post like this neat? "Oh they're fictional, it's gucci, stop bitching" wouldn't need to bitch if people didn't outright sexualize moments meant to tackle an irl fucking problem.

By the way, this person ships Angel and Valentino together. Their pinned tweet is legit sexual Val and Angel art. I wouldn't recommend attacking them regardless if you disagree with their ships and what they deem...ugh "hot."

Fair warning to I WILL be showing some of their arts and reblogs as evidence, so if you are not into that sort of thing (anything NSFW), I highly recommend scrolling past my post or past this section of it.

I'm pretty sure Viv actively searches for this sort of thing on Twitter, like it's PAINFULLY obvious that she does. How you just so happen to like a post clear af lusting for this abusive relationship YOU CLAIMED to take seriously that ALSO happens to be from an account that ships the abuser with the victim? Gtfo with your two-faced shit, just say your find this hot instead of lying your absolute ass off. The audacity for some fans to go after one group of people for liking questionable stuff only to let other questionable things slide. Like homie, you can let rape slide, but draw the line for any other questionable thing? How's about you have that energy for EVERYTHING with your hypocritical asses. Ion wanna hear y'all stank ass make callouts if you're okay with a rapist being shipped with someone he actively harms in various ways.

And Viv

You say this entire sequence is meant to be uncomfortable, meant to not sugar-coat how awful this situation is, and supposedly have people who are victims/survivors themselves, yet here you are liking posts from people who do anything but take it seriously and even sexualize it. That's absolutely insane to me. And reminds me how you were drooling over some pins that glamorize the abuse Angel and supposedly Husk goes through, you know, the same character that COMPARED his abuse with Angel's.

Ah yes, let's downplay how horrible Angel's situation is further, shall we? Let's especially do it after adamantly arguing with other SA survivors who "haven't seen the episode yet" and need to shut up or don't watch 😃. Let's ignore the fact that Husk and Angel's situations STILL aren't comparable but it's still very odd to have pins on TWO situations taken seriously in the show. So do you actually view the situations seriously or not Viv???

God she's....actually fucking stupid and horrid.

One Shot Requests

That's right! One shots are now a possible option when requesting something! Like normal requests, you can see the status of if they're open or not in my bio! Hooray!

Below will be a short list of rules and what can and cant be written! Be sure to read through it thoroughly before requesting!

RULES

It's very similar to the standard rules for this blog! No spamming unless its otherwise said its allowed (it never hurts to ask!)

Given that these will be entire fics rather than hc posts, only one character is allowed per post (or at least, one main character asides the reader! Quick cameos are allowed and may be added on general depending on plot and if they're needed to expand the story)

^ I do plan on adding poly as an option but until I get my footing on one shots it's just monogamous pairings for now

You can find the list of current fandoms I write for in my pinned! If you're not sure, you can always check! I keep the list updated!

Fics vary in length, really depends on how much steam I have

Fics will be posted here as well as on AO3, assuming the fic is SFW! AO3 link can be found in my pinned!

Obligatory I am an amateur who writes for fun so expect possible OOC and stuff LMAO

WHAT I WILL WRITE

Fluff, angst, platonic relationships, family relationships, and romance! Hooray! If there is ever anything I feel uncomfortable writing or feel I cannot do justice for, I will let you know ASAP!

Canon x reader! You're allowed to add descriptors for a reader! Gender, personality, style and so on! Just please note it will be harder to capture certain aspects in one shots than it will be for standard hc posts

Prompts and/or hc posts done in the past are allowed to be selected to be expanded upon in a fic!

If you're unsure if I write for a character from a fandom you can always ask! There are some fandoms that are very selective

WHAT I WILL NOT WRITE

Darker topics may be touched up upon however I have limits. I will do my best to voice myself if something is too much

Standard no nos: no incest or rape ect ect ect

No NSFW of characters who are in source minors (more on nsfw fics later) (nsfw IS allowed, just not on this blog)

On screen abuse and/or self harm. It is allowed off screen/implied or as a characters history

HOW TO REQUEST

All requests must go to the inbox and only the inbox! Requests sent through comments/messages/reblogs will not be answered period.

State your character of choice and any (optional) descriptors for the reader (readers are GN by default by the by)

Optionally you can request a specific scenario! It can be one of your own making or one taken from my prompt and trope lists!

NSFW ELABORATED

COMMISSIONS VS REQUEST

As of 10/26/2024 I have created a NSFW blog. You may ask for it in PMs but note that if you do not have your age stated in your bio you will not be getting it until it is there. If you find it on your own while being a minor/ageless blog you will be blocked both here and there. I also ask that minors stay away from my ao3 as eventually it may be mixed sfw/nsfw. All sfw fics will be posted here too so there is no reason for you to visit my ao3

As of the time of writing this one shot commissions are unavailable, when they are this section will be expanded upon! Naturally a commission allows one to have more customization and such in a fic as opposed to having a vague reader and stuff

You will do a character/personality analysis of Shinomori, Banjo and En?

I already did some analyses of these guys, but I think I'm gonna put down this masterlist of what I can pull off the top of my head so far

In relation to posts I made, got asked about, or reblogs about the vestiges and analysis/reading comprehension, from what I can remember,

(Edit: this is a list I'm updating as time goes. Does not include the AFO posts I make [I also like that guy])

En being a product of the time he grew up in

En being cut in half by AFO and not OFA

This ask about if I think En has an anxiety disorder

En and Shinomori's vol 41 illustrations

Shinomori being cute and also some character stuff

Shinomori and Hood should've been the same person

Shinomori was a weirdo

Shinomori and Bruce can be related (appearance and similar character/habits)

This ask about Shinomori being Bruce's nephew

Banjo is a Vigilante, not a Pro Hero

Banjo is where AFO realized taking OFA needed more

Banjo word vomit from an ask asking if he wears a clown mask over his problems

Kudo's really kind

Kudo and Lady Nagant

(Extra point to Kudo-Nagant parallels- THEIR QUIRKS. When they used them, they shot bullets FROM THEIR ARMS and could make the bullet go WHERE THEY WANTED. Nagant by skill, Kudo by Ability)

Kudo, OFA, and "San-San-Kudo" symbolism

Kudo and Bakugo look alike

Kudo and Bakugo resemble each other in s7 too

Kudo and Bruce have eyebags

Kudo smiles like a muppet

Kudo makes funny expressions

Kudo is so short he tucks his pants in

The temptation to write about Kudo knowing nothing about babies and getting one thrown on him in the Resistance era + opening paragraphs

AFO hating Kudo while also being scared shitless

Me over a Kudo cameo

How Kudo fell when Yoichi died, and Kudo and Bruce's different reactions

The foreshadowing of why AFO can't hate strongly, with reference to Kudo

Just a mention in tags about what if Kudo was AFO's soulmate in a Soulmate AU

The Resistance were squatters

Me realizing Kudo's anti-AFO group is actually nameless

Bruce is hot but also has great character

This ask about Bruce's smile

The contrast between the only two times we see Bruce smile (as of ch 424)

Baby u r my angel (Bruce) + tags about being in Bruce's shoes

Some pics of Bruce at bad angles (+ he got the Ojiro treatment)

Me in the tags over Bruce fanart

Why Yoichi can be considered the older twin

Me in the tags when Yoichi shows up as a vestige in s7 ep 12

Some Yoichi-Midoriya parallels

AFO seeing Yoichi in Mineta of all people

Me mentioning people should consider Yoichi, AFO, and their mom in a red light district AU setting

3 reasons for why All Might couldn't find information on the first Three (Yoichi, Kudo, Bruce)

Me going buckwild over a Yoichi and Kudo gif and breaking tag containment

Yoichi + Kudo to Midoriya + Bakugo parallels in the [holding out a hand] scenes

Even as a vestige, Yoichi couldn't look AFO in the eye until Kudo was with Yoichi

The first Three's appearances in s7 ep 13

S7 ep 13 and Midoriya punches AFO with the power of rainbows, right after Yoichi and Kudo appear

*COUGH* Kudo Yoichi Bruce dynamic reblog *COUGH*

Me in the tags looking for rare content about the first Three

Me in the tags over the parallels of Orpheus and Eurydice, to Yoichi, AFO, and Kudo

Me asking if OC-centric fics exist, set in the times of vestiges

Chronological events based off AFO's chase of the past vestiges

Why OFA users are good bases for High-Ends

When the vestiges are smiling without any stressors. Just. Smiling. Oh my gosh-

A point in this post about how determination to beat AFO was what remained of the vestiges

Reblog of post that showed Bruce was crying when he fought AFO

Reblog of a post where Midoriya manages to kill 7 dead people (the vestiges)

Me in the tags wishing Ultra Analysis had pages of the other vestiges

Me in the tags about Horikoshi having detailed backstories for the vestiges and not giving them

My pinned post, which involves a masterlist for my BNHA OC fic stuff (all involve the vestiges, and set in their time periods)

Your February; Pick-A-Card Collective Tarot Reading

Mkay, so this is a general collective tarot reading. Meaning I made the intention that those who are meant to see this will. The messages that are for you are in the pile/gif you're called to.

Because this isn't a personal reading, every detail may not be for you as an individual. Trust your intuition and what you sense is for you.

I'm doing a free one question personal reading for new followers and those who reblog my pinned post. Reviews and my bio are available on my profile.

Pile One :

Pile Two :

Pile Three :

Pile One :

You feel that you're in limbo waiting to make a decision as to whether or not you should leave something familiar. For most of you, this is in regards to leaving a home/ a relationship in which there are toxicity & arguments, a religion, institution, and/or some kind of structured routine/tradition. Will you let go of this completely or take a break while you find yourself? The choice is yours this month but you can't stay where you are.

You don't need the answers right away. You need to practice self care and rest. When you let go of the attachment of knowing and you're in a healthier mindset is when you'll receive the answers in time.

Go within instead of focusing on the outside. The answers lay within you; in your heart space. Let go of the past and what doesn't serve you in order to move on. The uncertainty and confusion you're experiencing is from being ungrounded.

Ground yourself and spend time in nature. Focus on yourself and take this time to detach yourself from others. Seek spiritual truths and nurture your connection to your soul, intuition, and the universe.

Meditate. Do things that make you feel good about yourself and your appearance. Affirmations in the mirror, bath bombs, makeup, massages, etc.

You feel the call to something different; a need to shake things up in your life. A vacation. World travel. Learning new things, perspectives, cultures. Meeting new people. You're bored and tired of the mundane, repetitive, day-to-day life. A party with good friends would serve you well.

You need fun, excitement, and to feel like you're serving a purpose in life; something that has meaning. But what is that exactly? You feel directionless and like you don't know where to go.

Pile Two :

Patience is needed this month. This is a long-term vision; it requires nurturing and growth. People don't start off as managers with no experience. You have the inherent ability to take the leadership role and master of your life. There's a definite emphasis of this here in this pile.

You just need to take things step by step and day to day. Figure out what it is this person you're wanting to reconcile with needs and how you can best show up for this person. Study and train in regards to this and your career.

Your general "take charge" personality is relevant in your career and finances this month. Some of you are waiting for a promotion, are hesitant about starting a business, or are waiting for something to come to fruition. You're very well on your way to success with this endeavor and in your life.

Believe in your abilities; you have an intrinsic ability to create, strategize, lead people, manage, and recognize the financial potential in things.

Red and white is of significance. Passion, love, vitality, anger. Purity, innocence, surrender. The reason there has been anger in this connection is because of the passion and love you have for eachother. There is a shadow to every light. 2 sides to each coin.

You'll surrender to your passion for this person and follow it. You're being reminded that deep inside we're all innocent children and doing the best we can with what we have. Let go of the defenses you've put up. Learn to be vulnerable and speak the truth of your feelings and pain without making it about blame.

Let go of the need to present as if you have everything figured out and no weak points to attack. Learn to compromise and to not be domineering. While you may be assessing things accurately, sometimes having people follow your rule book isn't the right thing for them to do.

Sometimes they need to take the time to address their own shadows and figure it out for themselves. Sometimes they just need a space to be heard, compassion, and gentle guidance/suggestions when welcome.

This doesn't mean allowing toxicity or sacrificing your health to validate others' illusions. It just means holding a space for them to be their whole selves; flaws and all. It means having healthy boundaries and walking away when they can't be honored.

Dare to have faith that reconciliation and forgiveness is not only possible; it's being gifted to you by the universe. Have trust and faith that all is well and is working out for the higheat good. Trust your intuition. If now is not the time, something is being prepared so that it can one day be.

Enjoy the journey. Be present and more involved in your life. Don't allow perfectionism prevent you from starting. Allow yourself to make mistakes. Failures are your way to success. "Bad" and "good" are for the greater good.

Some of you are a more masculine/logical/action-orientated person being called towards a feminine/receptive/intuitive person and/or nature. Follow this calling and you will reap rewards.

Pile Three :

You feel that a decision you make will either bring you material success & isolate you from your loved ones or have you compromising your dreams while maintaining your relationships. You may have fought over this with them. They don't want you to move away. But you're not seeing the full picture; there is a balanced solution. A third option. You can have the best of both worlds.

I feel that those you've had arguments with are scared of losing you and are too focused on this. They're not quite seeing your side. Despite their words, you're not selfish and conceited for wanting to follow your dreams. It's not like you want to work so much or move so far away you won't be able to interact enough with them. Ironically, they're the ones focusing too much on their own view point.

You feel stuck. Neither ways of being are something you'd be truly happy in.

The outcome of this argument will be fair. When you have patience and don't blindly steamroll ahead to your desires, you can have redemption and forgiveness. For alot of you, this is with those from childhood/people you've known for a long time/your mother.

Find the in-between. Not the black or white - the grey. The right decision is the one that takes courage and faith. Trust the path that you feel called towards. There will be equal give and take in these relationships and a mutual respect for eachothers' wants and needs.

An example of this is, if your work requires you to move - you can find a place halfway between home and work, visit home often, work from home, find the same type of job offer closer by, etc.

[many-but-one]

I didn’t want to derail your post, @the-alarm-system because I felt that your post is important and should stand on its own, but I also wanted to address that you screenshotted my tags here:

I want to explain what I meant by my tags, as I feel like you may have misunderstood what I was saying. l am supportive of endos existing. I've made that clear on more than one occasion on my blog! I meant I don’t like the phrase “the future is plural” because of the ambiguity of it and the fact that it’s been so misconstrued by so many. I feel like a better phrase that is less likely to be misunderstood would benefit the plural community but I’m not sure what that could be.

From the lens of endogenic plurality flourishing + plurality acceptance and education, I don't mind the phrase "the future is plural." I know plenty of endo systems and they are fine people who deserve to exist how they like! The only reason I don’t like that phrase is the ambiguity and how misunderstood it tends to be, and like I said, I think a phrase that is still concise but less likely to be misunderstood would be useful. I just, again, don’t know what that would be. I truthfully think it tends to be misunderstood because traumagenic systems are applying it to their own experiences (it’s what I did and why I was not liking the phrase at first, not realizing it was referring to endo plurals) and so of course we wouldn’t want the future to be plural because that means kids are being traumatized. However, from an endogenic system’s perspective and them applying it to their own experience with plurality, I can definitely see why they coined the phrase and mean it in the “I want more systems to exist” because a majority of endogenic plurals don’t see their systems as having come from trauma, which means endo plurality increasing =/= children being traumatized in order to exist as plural.

As an aside, I needed to update my “lean toward anti endos” verbiage anyway. I wrote that like…a year ago, maybe more, when I was still on the fence about the whole thing. At this point I’m pretty sure most anti endos aren’t a fan of my stance and so wouldn’t want me associating with them anyway. I say syscourse neutral because I don’t take sides in syscourse and typically don’t engage with it as much as possible for my own sake. Syscourse feels like a toxic minefield more often than not and I don’t like participating. I’m chronically terrible at updating my socials, so than a recent deletion of all of our alter info on our pinned post + an updated DNI, I don’t think we’ve updated that top portion in ages. So, thanks for pointing that out so I can change that as I didn’t realize that was still there.

Normally l'd ignore your reblog/tag screenshot but I just want it to be clear where I stand on the subject and don't want people who don't follow me to see my tags and see me as an endo-unsafe person. I am syscourse neutral in that I don't take sides, but I support endos existing. I used to be firmly anti-endo but l've changed my stance and am trying to be a better and less hateful person. I’ve said some hateful things about endos in the past and I want it to be made aware that I’m not the same person I was a few years ago (literally and figuratively, lol, I was very bitter, angry, and hateful toward MY OWN existence as a system, but with a lot of healing and acceptance of MYSELF I have also realized I needed to be more accepting of others too, even if I don’t fully understand them) so I wanted to nip your assumption in the bud and take a moment to explain my stance a bit more so my endo followers know I’m not against their existence. /gen /nm /just trying to explain myself more than tags would allow LOL

[dsaf-confessions]

I’m going to start this post by saying that I’m genuinely very confused by the entire situation.

I’m aware this wasn’t the best blog in the past, and that the screenshots provided were old, and things I’d already apologised for and learned from.

But in all honestly, I’m mainly confused about the fact that the person im posting about that I won’t name because I’d hate to start drama has already been blocked from this blog an unidentifiable amount of time ago for posting about us on their twitter page, and I don’t like drama, so I blocked them so it wouldn’t escalate

But it still has. Somehow. Because it also seems like they’ve been reblogging posts from this account since they were blocked, which I have no idea how.

That’s just my way of starting this post, though. Because I’m still really confused, accidental blocking bypass aside.

A call out post has been made about this blog, me more specifically, for posting confessions that intentionally start drama.

And I’ve read the post that was sent to me by my friends, and i actually don’t know how to respond to that.

I’m not providing screenshots, because you know, I’m making a response here, I’m not trying to start more drama (and the person has already blocked me, as they’ve said I believe. So they wouldn’t be seeing this post anyway)

but they posted some really old screenshots from this blog back before there were anons and a discord server, who I now essentially treat as a council (this post will be being read by them before I post. Because I don’t actually trust my own thoughts, especially not when I’m stressed out, shaky, and tired because it’s late at night and I planned to sleep an hour ago)

If you weren’t here back then, I admit this blog was chaotic. I made a mistake pretty much. Not by posting any confessions specifically (even though I admit I didn’t have the council back then so a lot of stuff slipped under the radar and caused drama). I made a mistake by making the blog to begin with.

(Note: I have no regrets. This situation is stressful and scary but I’ve made so many friends here, I wouldn’t trade it for the world!! Let’s hold hands and look into the sunset guys)

And yeah. I admit it was a shitshow. And I admit I posted a lot of confessions that shouldn’t have been posted because I didnt know if I would start more drama by just deleting them and having people ask why. And I apologise for that, I’m genuinely sorry. I really wish I had just kind of purged this blog’s posts past a certain point because god it sucked, but it’s not something I can actually do right now.

But the thing is, I’m pretty sure I’ve apologised for this before. And I won’t hesitate to apologise more however times people need, because some really shitty confessions were posted since I hadn’t ran one of these things in A WHILE.

And I took people’s advice. And I made this blog into a place that I thought was chill and drama free. And it was, i think, at least. But everything goes wrong eventually.

When I made the pinned post, I thought my stance on drama was clear. I said that I would delete the confessions that weren’t just ragebait, but would clearly start drama.

But I don’t think people got the memo.

There was also the mini-fandom thing. But I posted that I was very uncomfortable with it because it could backfire, and it was over.

Unfortunately, saying that I didn’t want there to be a fandom probably didn’t even delay the inevitable. Because now there’s a call out post. And this isn’t a response to the person who made the initial post, this is a response and an apology to everyone else who’s probably wondering what the fuck is actually going on right now.

I hope the person who made the post doesn’t see this, actually. Because they’ve already blocked everyone who’s associated with the blog, and if they do see it then it means that they’ve deliberately unblocked us for whatever reason, and that would only show to me that they want to start drama.

This all could’ve been solved in DMs, or better yet, a simple post that said “hey, I really don’t like this blog. I will be blocking everyone associated with it because I do not like it”. Not a callout post. You never DM’d me, or tried to communicate with me. You saw this blog, talked badly about it for a little bit, then made a call out post on the mod without even exchanging a single word of conversation with me about it.

What’s the fate of this blog? I don’t know. I might go on break. I really don’t want to leave the blog, but for the most part I’ve already left this fandom. I don’t really post stuff on main about it anymore. I still like it, but I don’t engage with it anymore for reasons unrelated. Just interests coming and going. However, I might leave. MIGHT.

if it was just this situation that I was dealing with, then I’d certainly stay. Tumblr call out posts don’t matter much in the long run anyway. But I’ve also got a very stressful personal life and this is the last thing I need.

But I don’t know.

What I hope you took away from this post, though, is this:

1) you can block this blog or blacklist this tag at anytime

2) you can dm me at any time if you have any advice or criticism that you think I can use to improve this blog and make it better

3) I don’t tolerate people starting drama, and I certainly don’t enjoy it either.

[megamaster64-comms-open]

Oooooooh boy! It's unfinished art time!

Now, I just want to preface this with these pieces are unfinished for a reason...

A personal reason...

I'm not doing fnaf stuff anymore. It has been 8-9 years since I first started following the fnaf franchise. And I feel like I need to move on.

Not that I've 'matured' past it, but I've grown apart from it. As I got older, my relationship with the franchise just started to feel like a bad long-distance romance.

I can't feel for Fnaf the same way I did when I was a kid.

Especially after so much shit went down with people from my childhood in like the past 4-6 months.

This doesn't mean that I won't still follow and support the fnaf artists that I currently do (you guys are awesome, btw!). It just means that I myself will be taking a step back.

The last fnaf post I will make is a sun/moon redesign. And after that I'll be done, maybe for now, maybe forever. Who knows? But while some things are best left forgotten, I don't want to forget the time I had at Freddy's.

Because for all the blotches and blemishes, it was beautiful.

Anyways, it's art time! The first one was supposed to be a crossover piece between my aus FNaF: Ties that bind, Transformers: Armageddon, and FNaF: Extraordinary.

Each villian confronting a different Charlie in all three parts of the image.

@soniccrazygal 's take on the character would be looking at Tf: Armageddon Shockwave in his 'M.X.E.S' form as he invades the Pizzaplex's security system.

@nachosforfree 's Charlie would be evading the murderous version of herself in Fazbear Frights.

And @north-noire 's Charlie would be confronting FNaF: Extraordinary Carlton as his spirit piloted the creation.

Im sorry I couldn't finish these love letters to your aus. I just lost the motivation.

There's one last image related to ties that bind, and nachosforfree's au.

I didn't finish it for all the reasons above, plus I hate Sonic.exe. and in this au, Andrew was meant to take that role.

It was just a thought experiment, though, spooky Sonic is just kinda blase to me now. Unless the person is doing something cool and new with it.

(Yes, I know that ref sheet is outdated.)

Anyhow, like always!

.𖥔 ݁ ˖WARNING::.𖥔 ݁ ˖ This is a group effort, if you aren't used to standing on what you mean and being consistent, **follow your new vice and get your life together. We WILL be doing check-ins and the 'ask' option is slowly making a return... Yes, shadow work must be done alone but, that doesn't mean you have to be alone throughout your entire journey.

We've already given you the basics of where to start when it comes to your mind:

In CHAPTER ONE we gave you cheat codes to kick-start your conscious and subconscious minds into a state that will help you find the value in getting tf up and doing the 'real' w⭑rk.

Don't be scared, now is the time to learn how much you truly value yourself by; writing down (lazy girls just open your notes app and password protect it) and write down the ways you will never allow people to disrespect/play with you, then after that start listing the amount of times you were tried in those same ways and didn't move an inch or speak a peep.

✩ "Wtf does this have to do with setting boundaries or gaining confidence?" the down bad girl with nothing to lose but everything to gain asked, well babe; You can't be confident if you don't know your worth and this is the best way to measure how disconnected from self you truly are. That and there's no better motivator to start setting boundaries in your life than remembering all the times you let btches laugh in your face. ✩

Put a pin that note and now ask yourself why you allowed those people to treat you in ways your spirit is clearly against?

What did you get from sitting down and silencing yourself during times you were supposed to speak up? You gave fear (for my religious girls and women this is what you would call the devil) the power to compromise your integrity and now what?

If you can pinpoint valid reasons or connect it to a bigger issue(s), it's time to rebuild the trust your mind is supposed to have with your spirit.

With your (temporary) motivation and newfound boundaries, it's time to sit down and center yourself, alone. Deal with how and what you've been dealt with in the past, and reblog with a vent post to get it out. Do NOT don't give those wh⋆res anymore of your energy, they do not need to know how much they hurt you (they do not gaf), and no one needs to know that you're rebuilding yourself.

This is why in chapter one you were taught to STFU, now it's action time. Put to use what you've learned.

NOW LET'S BE CLEAR;

I'm not telling you to sit and over analyze situations, I'm literally just telling you to deal with your emotions on your own with God (or your ancestors, guides, source) because trying to get others to understand anything when you aren't used to standing on sh⋆t and haven't laid out how YOU are going to enforce said boundaries, is waste of time.

You need to spend time alone and get to know who you have really become because let's be honest, you're never going to be "who you used to be" and you're never going to know how you would've turned out if X didn't happen - Get over it and move on to the better things you are clearly worth.

L1, R1, X, L1, R1, SQUARE, L1, R1

☾·⋆Understand that you can def change overnight, as long as you have faith in what's yours, a connection to God, and the discipline to stay true to who you're becoming. ⋆·☽

The old you is dead, watch your fave old shows and greive, get a PSP and put episodes of O'Grady on there and cry if you have to, journal, talk shit on brattyvice.com, GIRL DO ANYTHING TO GET OVER THE HEAUX VERSION OF YOURSELF SO SHE CAN DIE AND NEW SHIT CAN HAPPEN!

This is your world and your God doesn't play about you, stop picturing some frail white men in the clouds who is scared to raise his voice or hands. God is not nice especially when his anointed are being played with understand this quickly and;

Stop letting people play in your face, with your intelligence, your kindness, bitch; YOU. Stop letting people play with you like you aren't who you are.

Freewill is a bitch and that means that no one (including God) is going to force you to understand this, no one is going to push you to your potential, you literally just have to accept things like this and move accordingly.

my thoughts on the instagram ai situation, as a digital artist on the platform

figured i’d write and share this around so others in the community i’m in know my status. sooo, some basics for starters:

“Are you leaving Instagram? Where can I find you active?”

i’m staying on instagram for the time being. seeing as instagram almost certainly already has the data of my past posts, i won’t be deleting anything; going forward, i’ll be using ai disturbance filters and other anti-ai overlays for any stills i post. i anticipate using instagram for reels primarily, as well as staying in communications with mutuals and other artists. i do have a cara account, but will likely be posting intermittently until some issues i’ve noticed get addressed. going forward, i’ll most likely be at my most active over here! growth, fortunately, never was a priority in my social media presence so i’m not super concerned about that.

tldr:

instagram: gonna continue posting reels and occasional stills, will be primarily focused on interacting with fellow artists

here: most active! will post both rough and polished stills, as well as lore and whatever random thoughts pop into my head. (see pinned post for a tag guide)

cara: activity will be low unless shit really hits the fan on instagram and i can no longer protect my work via overlays. if you’re an insta moot, feel free to dm me if you want me to share your posts around, though! if the link doesn’t work: i’m @/asphodelity [EDIT] cara does work with an ai organization, hive; here is a post that goes into it and other things people have said about the platform! as i already wasn’t intending to use the platform all that often this won’t change anything for me, but make sure to do your research if you’re looking into the platform!

��Will this affect how much you post?”

not really! i already have a fairly sporadic posting schedule, so i’ll just be continuing what i’ve been doing: posting when i have things i wanna share :]

“Help! I’m an Instagram artist and want to know how to protect my art!”

i gotchu.

[EDIT] the non-glaze/nightshade/artshield filters are mostly ineffective! it won’t hurt you to use them, but if you can stick to using the glaze and nightshade sites!! if you don’t have a pc, you can apply to get a webglaze account!

how to (hopefully) opt out of your art being scraped in the european union (i think?)

how to (hopefully) do the same in the united states (note: post could be outdated)

other ways to protect your art: one, two, three, four

ai disturbance filters: one, two, three (set these to overlay at 30% as the top layer for most effectiveness! these aren’t as effective as using a website like glaze, but are better than nothing)

after june 26, no matter your region, you’ll be unable to opt out of ai data training. this affects, to my knowledge, everything you post, including captions.

“Any other thoughts?”

now, more than ever, we as a community need to stick together and support each other. don’t let anyone tell you your art isn’t worth anything; we as artists have something very special in our ability to create, express ourselves, and connect with the world around us, an algorithm and misguided techbros will never be able to take that away from us. keep pursuing what you love, my friends; we have to weather the storm to see the rainbow.

my dms are always open for art reasons. need a pep talk? i’m around. wanna collab or trade? i’d love to! need help boosting your social medias? i’m happy to help (although my presence is admittedly very small). whatever it is, i’m here and willing to help!

i’ll keep updating yall on this platform as my activity changes (or, perhaps, something big related to ai happens), so be sure to stick around if that seems interesting! also, please feel free to reblog this post and add more information i may have missed, that’s all for now, thank you for your time <3

Some things we do to help improve communication and trust between headmates!

We have a private discord server with Pluralkit- the most important channels we have in it are the venting channel and the system-chatter channels, for, well, venting and talking to each other respectively

We also sometimes leave notecards or physical notes! Our disability affects our hands sometimes, so if writing by pencil is too difficult, sometimes a headmate will leave a notecard simply saying that they've left something in the notes app on our phone

Relating to the venting channel, we try not to read through other headmates vents and messages unless there's something specific we need or, for whatever reason, it's necessary. This includes vents in our private server, but also conversations between headmates and our friends! Even if we share all the memories (mostly), it still feels more correct to respect that privacy

This last point also applies to things like drawings- it's a bit harder to avoid seeing those sometimes, since we often have to flip or scroll past to get to a new page, but we do our best, especially if the headmate who made it seems to have wanted it more private (e.g. vent art)

We have another spot in our private server where we put links to important messages in servers! In a server with just a friend or two, we can ask that we pin the message, but this doesn't work as well in a bigger server where we may not even be out as plural, so we save message links!

Going along that vein, if something happens that headmates need to be aware of in detail for whatever reason, we keep a log in that server with screenshots and descriptions of situations, so we can properly remember and have a record of it even between headmates

Unless it is absolutely necessary (generally safety reasons), we don't force switches that people genuinely don't want. Sometimes we'll joke that we "forced someone out/in", but in actuality we never do that if the headmate isn't actually okay with it

We do our best to let headmates have things for just themselves, if they want- examples being Wil's glasses that he wears when fronting, Ran's mask (though we need to get them a new one), certain stuffed animals that they've taken a liking to, certain shows/games, etc

I'm sure there's other things that aren't coming to mind right now, but that's a lot of them! We're still learning, and we're lucky to have pretty good communication from the start, but these are all things that have helped a lot. If you'd like, share some of the things you do to help trust and communication in the reblogs/replies!

(Also, re: our private discord server, would anyone be interested in a post about what we have in there, why, and how it's helped?)

Have you or a loved one gotten a strange ask recently, asking you to donate and boost?

No, I don't have a fund for financial compensation, no. What I can offer you is: INFORMATION.

Is it the same as or similar to something here?

The reference desk page has a listing where I put helpful stuff, enough of it has scam-related stuff to be worth a mention.

If it says to answer the ask privately, no matter what reason they're giving it's definitely to minimize the amount of visibility the ask itself has. If they're copy/pasting the ask to everyone in the notes of a legit fundraiser, it's less likely someone will notice it's being spammed if everyone answers privately and just reblogs the pinned fake fundraiser post.

"Case update" and "new case alert" are handy tags. //I know there's a couple weird binary posts at the end of the new case tag, those were me encrypting what I was observing about a couple scams in case the scammers themselves would know I was onto them. I haven't done that in full post form since.

You can copy/paste asks into the tumblr search function.

Reverse image searching might give you some results, but I've certainly noticed others having more luck with that than me on occasion.

If you want to ask me about a weird ask or blog, I can look into it. Once I did manage to prove something legitimate, but as far as I know that person was not spamming. There have been cases where people who did legitimately need help were spamming, but that's not common and most people who are told that spamming doesn't help will stop if they're being honest about needing help.

Heck, sometimes pasting pieces of the ask/post into a search engine with quotations around the text will get you original fundraisers or even twitter posts from before the blog was even created that match the same story. Doesn't take that long and will sometimes give you interesting answers.

[accessibleaesthetics]

Hello! First, I'd like to thank you for this blog, it's really helpful and informative!

Second, I have some questions about image descriptions and plain text:

1.) If an image has an alt text, should I copy and paste it in a post when reblogging or is it accessible as is? What about if there are several images with alt text in a post separated by text? I'm guessing if I post an image myself it's best to have both alt text and a description, but I've seen you do just alt text, so is it enough?

2.) What if another user posted some images and the text under them is generally describing the images but is not marked as image description. Should I write an image description in my post when reblogging? Just say that the images are of what the OP talks about?

3.) If there is a post that is made of multiple additions and reblogs and several undescribed images. Is it accessible to just describe them in order of appearance in my reblog? Or is it confusing and I should just tag it as undescribed instead?

4.) Is plain text needed when any kind of text formatting is applied or are there exceptions? And again, if only some posts in a chain need plain text, is it accessible to just list them all in a reblog or is it confusing?

5.) this one is more minor, but is it ok if my avatar and banner are only described in the pinned post or should I put them in my bio as well?

If you answer this or leave some links to the answers, thank you greatly for your time!

You're so welcome!

1.) This one is tricky. As you've noticed, I've decided to consider images with alt text as accessible enough to be on this blog becasue they come with a built-in expandable written ID, and even do it myself when it's short enough. However, some people still very much prefer image descriptions for various reasons. You can also use them together by putting a short description in the alt text that ends by directing people to a longer description (when needed) in the body of the post.

2.) This is what I like to refer to as "functionally described." Once in a while I will reblog something without an image description and tag it #functionally described as an indicator to people that the text in the post fully described the image or images in it.

3.) I usually described them in order, yes.

4.) This one is also tricky. Some will say yes, but there are certain cases, such as headings, where I've yet to encounter someone who benefits from making a smaller plain text version of the large text. I hope some day to meet one, because in theory they exist. I am also a bit more lax with things like bold or italics in moderation, because the research suggesting that can hamper readability for those with dyslexia is really more for huge chunks for text. But again, doesn't necessarily hurt!

5.) That one is up to you! I do it in my bio to make it as easy to get to as possible, but I think a pinned posts is good too. Honestly, I wish they'd let us add alt text to it, it would be a good use for it.

pinned post pertaining to donations (PLEASE READ)

hi everyone

this is gonna serve as an informational thing with asks and messages for donations as i receive quite a lot of them (which is a good thing, and i ask you to please keep sending them)

i am not able to verify donations. in the past, i have tagged posts as "vetted" or some form of it, which meant i had gone through the blog and ensured in some way that the campaign was verified. for any campaigns i've reblogged recently or will reblog in the future, assume i have checked they are verified if the post itself does not already say so.

i am only able to donate small increments to a few campaigns at any given time. i wish this were not the case, but it is. i typically pick a few campaigns at a time to donate to whenever i get paid, but there is no guarantee i will be able to donate to yours if you send an ask. that being said, i will always reblog any campaigns that end up in my inbox.

please do not send multiple asks in a row for reblogs. i have dozens of asks in my inbox, and though not always instantaneous, i will reblog them when i am able. multiple asks in a row tends to clog the ask box and make it difficult to see how many new asks i have. if i have reblogged your campaign in the past and you would like me to do so again, however, please feel free to send another ask.

as of november 1st, 2024, i have closed my direct messages. the reason for this is that i receive numerous asks and messages a day from people in need, and while i will always share your campaign, there is only so much i can do in terms of actually donating, and the influx of both messages and asks is becoming unmanageable for me. please note that my ask box will always, always be open to anyone who needs their campaign shared.

i do not reply to asks directly. i simply receive too many to be able to do so, but this does not mean i am ignoring you. i see you, all of you.

below is a list of campaigns who have reached out to me (not all but some) that i ask you to please share and donate to if you are able. thank you.

aseel's campaign: 75.458k out of 100k

habib's campaign: 3.795k out of 50k

yahya's campaign: 4.769k out of 50k

fidaa's campaign: 76.890k out of 120k

[harryislouisbabyficfest]

important: the new harry is louis’ baby fic fest schedule!

okay, so! we had a total of 5 votes in the past week, which was a little less than i’d hoped to get, but still definitely enough to work off of! the lovely @louistomlionson did a count & noted that we’ve had 50 fic fests this year when we usually have ~33, so it’s definitely understandable that by the last month of the year, many people are a bit burnt out by writing & fests! with all that being said, the winner was option C -- no deadline; make the fest ongoing.

the following is the new fest schedule, rules for the fest & links for the forms!

schedule:

the fest is now an ongoing fest which means:

prompt submissions are reopened & will be open for an indefinite amount of time, so feel free to continue submitting prompts! the link to submit a prompt (+ the link to see the google doc of already submitted prompts) is in the ‘links & forms’ section. they can be canon, AUs, etc! as long as they include and/or embody the harry is louis’ baby trope in some way, they’re good to go!

sign ups for writers are open & will stay open! the link to the writers sign up form is also in the ‘links & forms’ section.

sign ups for betas are also open & will stay open! however, i will begin to compile a list of available betas as people submit forms and will add onto it as i get new submissions. you can find the beta form in the ‘links & forms’ section too. anyone who signs up to beta is welcome to request the removal of their info from the available beta list at any time whether it’s for a period of time or indefinitely. 

there will be no deadline to submit fics -- writers can submit them whenever they are ready to do so. the link to the ao3 collection is here! if you have any problems, please feel free to reach out to me for help. 

fics will be revealed in the ao3 collection by 5 pm central time the day after they’ve been added to the collection. tumblr posts will be reblogged once they’re posted, so don’t forget to tag this account! there will be a pinned post for all fics written for the fest that will be added onto as fics get revealed into the collection.

rules for this fest:

although this fest isn’t inherently a nsfw / 18+ fest, you must be 18 years of age or older to participate, just for the safety & protection of everyone.

you can write about any & all forms and variations of larry!

fics are allowed to have more than one author - if you want to write with one or more friends, go for it!

there is no minimum word count for this fest

this will not be an anonymous fest; you can absolutely post snippets of your fic as you're writing. be sure to tag this blog & use the hashtag to be reposted as well!

any fics submitted will not be moderated content wise, so please use common sense & best judgment when it comes to things like tagging your fic correctly/appropriately. just because something is not a trigger to you doesn’t mean it isn’t a trigger to someone else. readers deserve the right  to be able to go into a fic fully informed on what is going to happen in the fic. if there are any genuine, reasonable complaints about tags, writers are expected to adjust/fix their tags accordingly. 

you will need to post your fic onto ao3 and create a tumblr post for it.

you may write as many fics as you’d like for the fest!

links & forms:

if you’d like to submit a prompt for this fest, you can do so here!

if you’d like to see the submitted prompt list, you can do so here!

if you’d like to sign up to write for the fest, you can do so here!

if you’d like to sign up to be a beta for the fest, you can do so here!

thank you to everyone who responded to the little makeshift poll & helped boost the post/gave their support in any way! as always, if anyone has any questions, please feel free to reach out! :)
