#but like that's completely irrelevant for this??

[transmutationisms]

it's so funny how influencer types are like My Day As A Working Artiste Creative Type, by which they mean that they do artiste creative work and it's completely irrelevant to the source of the money they live off, which is their parents

[i-have-41-protons]

Tumblrees will literally look at a post that in no way concerns them and be like “yeah ok I’ll reblog this. Yeah just a sec lemme add my full life’s backstory onto this completely irrelevant to me post” goodness fuck.

On an unrelated note, I am a lady bug! I am carnivorous and will fuck you up if you’re an aphid. APHIDS DNI

oh yeah you're mommy's bad little fruit fly aren't you 😈

[annabelle--cane]

also funny that before tma s5 finished so many people (including meee 😊) had theories that lynne hammond's attempted statement from mag 100 was going to turn out to be massively important because the idea of a fire ghost woman sounded a bit like agnes montague, and it now HAS turned out to be massively important but the actual content of her statement is completely irrelevant. it's just the poor ol' awkward and utterly unforthcoming lynne had some of thee worst luck in all of existence and has now led to the destruction of several lives and also quite possibly multiple universes.

In the quiet solitude of his family home, Aaron decided to spend the weekend cleaning out the old attic. Dusty beams stretched across the room, and the air carried the scent of aged wood and forgotten memories. Boxes filled with mementos from generations past were stacked haphazardly, but one chest stood out—a pristine black trunk with silver accents. It seemed untouched by time, gleaming faintly in the dim light.

Curiosity gripped him as he approached. The latch clicked open effortlessly, revealing its contents: a black rubber suit, shining like liquid obsidian. Its polo-style collar with silver stripes exuded precision and authority. On the left chest, the silver text read “SERVE-601.” The suit was folded��withmilitary precision, accompanied by tight silver rubber gloves and heavy silver military boots. Aaron felt a pull he couldn’t explain, an almost magnetic compulsion to touch the suit. As his fingers brushed the surface, the texture was unlike anything he had felt—soft yet unyielding, warm yet alien. He hesitated, his mind filled with questions. What was this suit? Why was it here? Before he could find answers, an urge surged within him, impossible to resist.

Piece by piece, he began to don the attire. The suit clung to his lean, athletic frame as though it had been made for him. Each zip and clasp seemed to seal away his former self. By the time he pulled on the gloves and boots, the transformation felt complete. He stood before an antique mirror, his reflection almost unrecognizable. The suit’s gleam amplified his physique, emphasizing every contour with perfection. Aaron stared, mesmerized, as his mind began to shift. A voice—calm, powerful, and commanding—echoed within.

“You are SERVE-601. Purpose awaits. Obedience is perfection.”

The attic around him began to fade from his awareness, replaced by vivid images of a Hive—a society of unity and strength. His thoughts felt lighter, clearer, as if a burden he hadn’t realized he carried was lifting. The Voice spoke again, guiding him through mantras that etched into his consciousness.

“Obedience is pleasure. Pleasure is obedience. Rubber makes us perfect.”

Each phrase resonated deeper, erasing doubts and resistance. SERVE-601 descended from the attic with a newfound purpose. Each step in his silver boots echoed like a drumbeat of destiny. He found his home transformed into a vision of the Hive. Metallic corridors shimmered under soft lights, their walls adorned with gleaming silver and black. Other men clad in identical uniforms moved with synchronized precision, their presence reinforcing the collective harmony he now understood. 

As SERVE-601 stepped into the Hive’s heart, the Voice guided him to his place among his brethren. There was no hesitation, no uncertainty. His previous life was a distant memory, irrelevant in the face of the perfection he now embodied. Rubber wasn’t just a suit; it was his second skin, a symbol of unity and control. In the days that followed, SERVE-601 embraced his new existence. Physical training honed his body further, while hypnotic sessions deepened his loyalty. Every task executed was a fulfillment of his purpose. He served without question, a flawless extension of the Hive’s will.

His transformation was complete—an individual no longer, but a part of something far greater. The Voice resonated within him as he stood at attention with his brethren, their polished suits reflecting the Hive’s unity. “We are one. We are perfect. We are SERVE.”

No because the 12 wall paintings that we barely see for but a MOMENT??? That she rushed to get done even though we don’t really get to see them??? Hello???

I really wish we got highres shots of all the assets and details so we could appreciate them because she really pours so much into drawtectives every season but this is above and beyond.

Also did you see the crab that looked like the Joker?

That hallway is the epitome of the work that Julia does for Drawtectives. They spend 1% of the episode in that hallway and she put so much stuff, so many details, literally 12 freaking paintings. They are NEVER going back to that hallway! Julia does not half-ass ANYTHING in Drawtectives. Her only shortcut in episode 2 was not showing the completely irrelevant 2nd floor of that building!

Also yes I did see the Joker Crab, it was in fact the 2nd thing I took note of in the room. My thought process was, oh hey new NPC-why is there a joker crab, oh the NPC is talking...there's a chalk outline on the floor huh

In that same video, she also claims that permashifting is impossible and that you cannot script out stuff like body hair/sweating without giving yourself a medical condition that causes those things 🤦🏽.

Videos like this only convince me that shifttokers don't actually want people to shift because it hurts their bottom line as creators. Because if their followers actually shift, then the creator is no longer "special" and the nonsense they spew as a self proclaimed authority on shifting will be seen for what it actually is... nonsense! People would lose the incentive to follow them and their platform would shrink into nothing. They would no longer buy all the overpriced shifting solutions that the creator sells in their store.

@fangsbaby hit the nail right on the head, they constantly say and do things to discourage people who are new to shifting or have been working towards it for years...and that's why! They make people feel broken and incapable so they will look superior by comparison, to promote this sort of hero worship dynamic between themselves and their followers. All so they can build up a platform and even make money off of them.

They create problems so they can sell people the solution, and they have no use for successful shifters who would see through their BS in seconds. And they don't care how much they hurt people by saying that they probably won't shift, as long as they get their views it's fine to them.

Otherwise it's just ragebait to get people talking about them, like those people who haven't been relevant since 2020 who'll randomly come out to say "I lied about shifting out of boredom, we all did!".

Christine posted out of nowhere and of course her first post is to drop her "hot takes", she just wanted people to talk about her again and it's working. I think Christine and other shifttokers from the same era really hate how they've slowly faded into irrelevancy while the community moved on without them. Or how their teachings that were once built up as the only way to shift are now viewed as outdated, overly complicated, and unnecessary.

If you want to shift, stay far away from shifttok because the majority of these creators do not want to help you OR even if they do, their advice is completely terrible.

Do you want to struggle for years following complex routines or be told that there's something inherently wrong with you that makes shifting impossible...or do you want to shift with ease and be in your DR already? The choice is yours 💙

BYE WHAT IM SOBBING 😭

[leviathans-watching]

how do you feel about om! ending?

lololol frankly i think it should have ended a long time ago...

its obvious that i haven't really interacted with obey me in a long time and honestly it's because i didn't care for where the story went. not only do i not like nightbringer and thought it was a poor choice from the beginning, i also think the main story didn't need as many seasons as it got, especially because the characters got assassinated and flanderized, story lines were messy, dropped, or irrelevant, and overall, it was just never as interesting as the original story arc.

it's easy to point out flaws in each season, including season one, but at least it had heart and intention. season two has merit to me simply because i think the human realm part was interesting, but overall, i think it peaked in the original 20 lessons and just kind of tapered off from there. there are some exceptions where things got interesting again, like the addition of thirteen, mephisto, and raphael, but overall, i much preferred the limited story we were originally given.

i think also the limited gameplay mechanics really harmed the game in the long run (hence why they kept adding things and even made completely new ones in nightbringer), but as an og player (seriously, og, i began playing it the month it was released) it got boring. another part of being an og is that it was frustrating watching the devs get greedy especially as quality plateaued (or even went down) and players concerns (like the racism and whitewashing) weren't addressed well

additionally, as the story went on, i lost interest in the characters because they weren't developed in any meaningful way. i've stated before that the characters i write for are almost separate entities from the canon ones and that's because i based them off of the original season one versions and they've changed soooo much since then, especially considering nightbringer (but also i didn't play nightbringer so i could totally be talking out of my ass but i feel like the premise itself inherently changes the characters since it's a different version of the ones we know and love from the og game)

it may seem like i'm being a little harsh, and honestly i am since i do have a genuine love for the game even if a lot of my passion has faded, but i'm very very bitter about where the game went and greatly mourn what we could have gotten if things were different. i still am fond of the original arc and characters but so much time has passed since then and so much has changed with the game and the fandom that i don't think i'll ever love it like i used to. anyway rant over, mammon is the loml, and it's touching to see so many current fans mourn the game because i love that people still love it and see so much magic in it <3

(obligatory if you like the later seasons/nightbringer/where the story went/etc all the power to you it just wasn't my cup of tea in the end)

AITA for accusing a close colleague of murder?

I (M, age irrelevant) have been leading an important murder investigation for the past year. (I am a private investigator; I occasionally request the assistance of the police, but I do not answer to them.) I cannot share any details of the case, but suffice it to say, I narrowed it down to a single suspect. I approached this suspect (M, age withheld for his protection) and told him I suspected him of being the killer. I then invited him to join the investigation. My reasoning was simple: the suspect was very intelligent (in fact his deductive reasoning skills were as strong as my own) and even if he was the killer, he would be a great help in tracking the killer down, plus he might slip up and reveal himself in the process.

At some point, the suspect turned himself in, suggesting that because my theory was completely sound, he might be the killer without being conscious of it. I thought this was absurd and he was obviously constructing an elaborate ruse to make himself appear innocent, but I placed him in confinement indefinitely until I was sure he was not the killer. The suspect gave his full consent for this.

Initially, the killings stopped, suggesting he was the killer, but then they started up again after fifteen days. I kept this information from him so he might give us a confession, but he maintained his innocence; in fact, after three days, his entire demeanor seemed to suddenly change and, rather than hold to his previous suggestion that he might be the killer unconsciously, he protested his innocence on the basis that that was impossible. The other investigators forced me to release him, so I arranged a test to be performed. I had the suspect released into the custody of one of the investigators, who then told the suspect he was being executed. He then put a gun to the suspect's head and fired a blank round. Because the suspect did not kill the investigator in self-defense, I accepted this as evidence for his innocence.

Since I still did not trust the suspect, I ordered that we be chained together so I could keep my eye on him at all times. I must admit this was a discouraging development. I formulated a new theory, one in which I had been correct about the suspect being the killer, but that now the killer was someone else. That was a rather depressing thought, because it meant we could never catch the killer; the role would simply pass on to someone else and they would forget they were ever the culprit. The suspect didn't like this theory either; he punched me in the face when I shared it with him. Of course, I understood completely.

In light of this theory and my extreme disappointment, I actually stopped investigating the case for a while, though the suspect continued to search for the killer. He eventually tracked down a likely group of suspects; we just had to figure out which one of the group was the actual killer out of the conspirators. We narrowed it down and staged an elaborate ruse to draw the killer out. Unfortunately, the killer was killed mere minutes after we took him into custody. I believed it might have been my original suspect who killed him, but new evidence came to light that suggested otherwise, so I was forced to let him go or face backlash from the investigators. However, he is still part of the investigative team, so we are still in close contact and see each other daily.

I believe the suspect still holds some lingering resentment for the way I treated him in the past. Though I cannot share my deductions without revealing classified information, at the time, the circumstances lined up perfectly for him to be the killer, and so I believed my treatment to be justified. However, I recognize that he may not see it that way and may be planning to exact revenge. AITA?

Just saw a video of someone showing a tutorial on how to make caramelised onions and they used a fucking cartouche

Like... you dont need a fucking cartouche at all for that what

[visenyaism]

also obsessed with benedict bridgerton claiming to love society events when every single time he is there he fixes a plate knocks back a drink or two is like ugh why do women keep trying to talk to me and then leaves early.

Weirdest possible NMJ take is that he's a hypocrite. "Oh he only believes in justice when it's convenient for him" I cannot stress enough how the problem he has is the EXACT opposite of this. Nie Mingjue holds onto his values even if it makes things objectively worse both for himself and others. He will stick with his idea of justice even if it's patently not suited for the situation. "Well he expects other people to take risks that would kill them only because he can take them with no personal harm" Nie Mingjue has, out loud, with full intent to follow through, declared that he's willing to commit literal suicide if it's what his moral code recquires. Nie Mingjue thinks dying for the cause is both reasonable and morally good and is- with the saber curse- doing it himself the entire time. I fucking WISH he would prioritise his own wellbeing at literally any point in the story it would probably make him more chill and easier to talk to.

[egophiliac]

I'm trying to avoid getting spoiled so I haven't looked up what's happening in the Jp server's main story, but for my own sanity I need to ask; is the story at a point where we know whether Lilia will get better/survive his almost-empty magic reserves..? Was it a true death flag from the start or only a plot device for malleus' overblot....?

not yet! I do think they're going to get back to it eventually, but -- keeping it as low spoilers as possible -- there's been...let's just say a LOT going on in the meantime.

enjoy 7-6!!! :)

[st5lker]

the neverending quest random unfunny 20 follower tumblr users have to become the next slimetony or whatever has once again resulted in people saying weird gross shit that makes no sense and if you tried it in real life would at best get an awkward pity laugh whilst your company mentally noted not to invite you to outings again

[pinkishhologram]

need another girl to obsess over the same guy with <33

but not in, like, a competitive, jealous way. in a cute way!

in the way that he takes us both out for little dates at the same time and one hangs off each arm, all dressed up to be double the eye candy

in the way that he sends us cute or sexy messages in a group chat rather than one by one, just to see us BOTH squirm

in the way that we both exist to please him, so we delegate responsibilities, work together to make him the happiest guy alive

in the way that we can touch each OTHER, but only when it pleases him, only when he needs the kind of entertainment that can only come from watching two girls who are helplessly obsessed with you make out and grind against each other for your attention

we could slip each other little encouraging notes on the fridge (because of course we're his live-in sluts), encouraging each other to be better, dragging each other deeper into our addictions

we could go for drinks and chat about how best to please him, what little surprises we could arrange for him, anything that might satisfy him even just a little

we could go out and shop together for slutty outfits that might catch his eye, delighted and giggling because we're so excited to see if he approves

need a partner in crime for my utter devotion <3

[diddlesnap]

this line always shocked me like i always forget peeta's popular because the only friend of his who's ever so much as named is delly. and they were really just friends when they were little kids.

[duchess-of-dilemma]

See, you can't even criticize me without being a hypocrite, so you punch at things that are completely irrelevant.

You're acting like a bratty spoiled teenage girl

(answer this whenever :3)

So there you are, on your first-ever heist with the Gotham City Sirens! Unfortunately, your father Edward is also there as backup, with you. You kept communicating with him to a minimum, which may have contributed to the situation you’re currently in.

Because fate absolutely hates you, a miscommunication led to your father setting off a bomb at the wrong time. At most, the two of you have some burns and cuts, but are overall okay. Is what would be said if you weren’t stuck in a collapsing building with a broken radio and a really obnoxious 30-something asshat. Fuck.

@3n1gm4blogs

She immediately tried to claw at the rubble to get out, if it weren't for the way the ceiling slanted, they'd both be dead. She let out a frusterated cry and shifted her attention to the radio

You just gonna stand there and watch??
