#but no info on why that could be bad or what health issues it causes

[blackbeardruid]

my mom doesnt believe im autistic but i just had to softblock someone because i gave them an unsolicited chicken fact and they did NOT like that i shared my chicken facts with them. like they were reposting from peta (peta is a major 🤮🤮🤮) about how chickens arent bred ethically and i had more information and facts on the genuinely unethical chicken breed in question and i guess i should have kept my chicken facts for people who ask for them

AITA for insulting my best friend, and attacking her boyfriend? I (21 X) was best friends T (21 F). We met in high school and I really clicked with her, and we've been living together since we were both eighteen. Anyway. We do volunteer work together. It's mostly stuff like cleaning trash, distrubting food to the homeless, etc. Not super glamarous. During one of our projects, T met and started dating this new guy, A (24 M). I cannot stand A. He's really unpleasant towards me, and i feel like he's taking advantage of T. He's makes unfunny 'jokes' about my mental health. This was annoying, but w/e.

However over the last month he's been constantly disrespecting our volunteer work, and really laying into me. I've been arrested before for shoplifting, and A hangs it above my head. He often makes comments about i'm a bad influence on her, and that i'll get her arrested by proxy. [Sometimes we do kinda illegal things. But its strictly relegated to stuff like removing bars from benches and shit. Not hurting anyone] Recently T has started to become distant from me, and i think she believes what he's been saying. She's stopped volunteering with me, and barely lives in our shared apartment, staying around exclusivley with her boyfriend.

Anyway this came to ahead when A and T actually came to the apartment to grab somethings. I tried at first to ask T what was up, and why she was acting like that to me. Why she quit volunteering. She kept dodging the question. So i lost my temper and started yelling at her, about how she was a shitty friend and completely ghosted me over A, who was a complete dick. Mind you this has been going on for a month. A then decided i was being too aggresive [i was yelling at most. Both of them are at least a foot taller than me, and i am maybe 100 lbs. I was not a threat] and he tried to restrain me. This set me off, so i defended myself. Again, i did not have the phyical advantage, and was panicking really badly, so i started doing shit like biting him to get free [i'm not proud of that].

we eventually broke apart. T got A to agree to not press charges, but she layed into me about how i was a shitty person, and that A had made her realise how toxic i was. that i used good causes to justify continuing to break the law for fun, and that i probably had a personality disorder. she said she didn't hate me, but she'd only mend things if i changed. Then she left with A. its been a week and we havent talked

i kinda feel like i could be ta, due to the assault, but also being invasive towards T. i do have issues when it comes to paranoia, and there is a chance it was normal levels of people changing, and i just overblew it and turned it into the mess. but on the other hand, i still feel justified due to how A started things first, and T, despite being such a long term friend, completely ignored me and backstabbed me. So aita?

What are these acronyms?

I had my GI appointment today.

He doesn’t think the throbbing aching chest/upper abdominal pain that flares up with activity is GI related. Neither do I but doctors love to make gastroparesis the scapegoat.

He also doesn’t think my nausea is GI related which really surprised me. He said you would expect GI related nausea to be more episodic and flare up with food related events. Not the constant state of nausea that I’m in that flares up with even the slightest movement or activity. He wasn’t willing to say what could be causing it if not GI but there are plenty of things like severe pain, cardiac problems, dysautonomia, medication side effects etc that could cause nausea. So idk but it’s new info to work with so that’s good.

He thinks my handfuls of ibuprofen three times a day is probably causing my stomach aches. Which…like…duh. I already know that but that’s why we’re going the methotrexate route instead. I’m scheduled for an endoscopy to check for ulcers the day after I’m scheduled for my chest CT + calcium score. If there’s damage he’s going to give me a Rx that’s supposed to help protect against the damage associated with NSAIDs

TMI warning. He thinks my lack of appetite is being exacerbated by my chronic pain and constipation but he agrees that most laxatives would make me more sick. He wants me to try a specific OTC medication called Docusate.

He was kind and understanding. He accepted that I have bad brain fog and gave me as much time as I needed to work through the conversation. He acknowledged that I probably knew a lot of this stuff already and that my medical issues are complicated. He understood how frustrating it was that everyone keeps pushing the GI route when it’s so obviously not the cause. He answered all my questions, sometimes multiple times and never labeled me as an anxious patient for being concerned about my health. I really appreciated having a good experience with a doctor. It’s been a while.

Amnesia!Dabi: Twice (and assorted random thoughts)

I like to imagine that Jin ALSO ends up living with the Todorokis, or at least under their protection. Hell, maybe he stays at U.A.. Maybe Magne comes out of hiding to give them a hand. Who knows. But, like. Like, the Hero Commission absolutely want to throw him in jail. Like. A Hero Student got kidnapped. All Might has retired. The LoV is still at large. The recent upheaval - Kamino, the Togas trial, Toya, maybe a few information leaks - have really hit their public image. They are probably suffering a drop in public trust, and need a win (or a scapegoat). And like. I imagine they give it their best shot.

However:

1) By the time the HC get wind of it, Jin is at U.A., being treated by Recovery Girl. On paper, Jin has “surrendered” to U.A., just like Himiko and Dabi did, an incident the HC largely let U.A. handle independently. Like, did they want to get involved? Oh absolutely. But one of those villains was Endeavour’s kid, the other was a malnourished fifteen-year-old, they know to pick their battles. However, it’s created a pretty obvious precedent that U.A. can use.

2) Their big argument would be that Jin’s Quirk, combined with mental instability, makes him highly dangerous. Well, guess what, his Quirk is GONE. And they can’t claim ignorance, because there’s a pretty recent precedent for that too - Ragdoll. Her medical records probably shows her Quirk factor being damaged or something, and Jin matches (or might even be WORSE). They also could have Monoma try to copy Jin’s Quirk, to prove its really gone, cause he can’t copy what isn’t there. 

3) They still try to make an argument for mental instability. However, with U.A. in the way, they’d definitely need to take this to court, get a proper ruling on Jin’s mental health, prove that he’s a danger to others. Not only is he NOT a danger to anyone right now (except himself) the Hero Commission wants to avoid that as much as possible. Why?

Himiko’s trial.

Cause this is happening right in the middle of the Togas fighting U.A. about Himiko. And that Trial is making all kinds of waves. Like, I imagine part of the reason Dabi went public with his identity as Toya Todoroki, got himself declared “not dead”, was so he could testify in court. Like, yes, he probably could have as Dabi, but it’s most likely EASIER as Toya, if that makes sense? So not only is the public getting “Pro Hero Phoenix Rises From The Ashes!” they’re also getting “Toya Todoroki to testify in upcoming abuse case”. There’s media attention on what would otherwise be swept under the rug. It’s getting a LOT of publicity, and I imagine that the Hero Commission aren’t coming out looking too hot. Why?

So I mentioned some info leaks, right? I like to imagine that the mission Toya went on where he “died” wasn’t just any old mission. It was issued by the Hero Commission. Now, do I think anyone in the HC was part of AfO’s plan to yoink Toya? No idea, but not the point. Those info leaks were about that mission, so now everyone KNOWS that the HC sent Toya on the mission where he “died”. They also have the follow up stuff, which when looked at all together, seems pretty sketchy? Like, why this decision? Why send him alone? Why these heroes, they wouldn’t be great for search and rescue? Why only this long of a search? Hold up, is this autopsy dated the day BEFORE? Shit like that.

(Now, besides the autopsy, I imagine most of it at the time could be explained by “Enji is panicking, grabbing whoever is closest, and not really thinking straight”, but looked back on by the public who don’t have context, it seems REALLY SUSPICIOUS.)

So, there’s all of THAT, but I also imagine that the HC did, at some point, try to get an … “interview”, with Himiko. Like, to ask her about the League. I imagine Himiko, wanting desperately to please the Todorokis (they’re all heroes, if she cooperates, will they keep her?) says sure, she’ll do it.

It goes REALLY FUCKING BAD.

I don’t know who they send to ask questions, but whoever it is, is used to dealing with hardened criminals, not emotionally damaged teens. The “interview”*cough*interrogation*cough* ends with Himiko in a panic attack, Dabi ready to burn a motherfucker to death, and Enji ready to help him. The HC back off so fast they leave tire tracks, and are trying their best to mitigate the situation. Only maybe, perhaps. Himiko’s parents are just rich enough, just influential enough, to know some people in the HC. To find out about the interview.

WHICH THEY DECIDE TO BRING UP IN COURT TO PROVE THEIR DAUGHTER IS A CRIMINAL - I MEAN, THE HC THOUGHT SO, RIGHT?

The Hero Commission is scrambling to fix this, and to do that, they need a win. Or a scapegoat. But they also realize that it’s 50/50 whether taking Jin to court would even work for them right now. So, eventually, they back off, and Jin moves into the Todoroki spare room.

(Please note, all of this is just random thoughts, not sure how well any of this would work?)

*And now, for something, completely different*

So, in the manga, they state that (at least physically) Magne hasn’t transitioned yet. Just … hasn’t been in a place, financially or socially to do that yet, was the impression I got? I like to think that Magne, after leaving the LoV, still in some of her “fuck this shit” phase, decides you know what? I am stuck in a weird place, have no idea what I’m going to do with my life, but I want to be happy. Now’s the time to transition. When she shows up properly at the end to help fuck shit up, Katsuki takes one good look at her, and goes “oh. THAT’S what I want”.

*

If Miruko is already dating, or at least friends, with Fuyumi, what if that’s how Hawks gets pulled in to the Dabi/Toya thing? I like to headcanon that the two are pretty good friends (youngest proheroes, both have animal Quirks, both get a lot of shit from similar places), so when Miruko needs another Pro, she calls him, like, “K, I need your help, but you can’t ask any questions, you can’t tell ANYONE, and aren’t allowed to arrest anyone.”

-

Hell yeah hell yeah HELL YEAH

I just LOVE the Commission being hoist by their own petard.

We can also end up with some bonus info reveals when Dabi eventually remembers The Thing™. Because the Commission tried to cover that up and then cut their involvement when they realized it was a lost cause even though the problem technically continues.

Swinging to the Hawks and Miruko thing:

I think they both got dragged in differently because like. They’re friends but also the social circle is a circle if that makes sense? Like yeah they might’ve told each other, but Hawks got involved because he’s on the list of Heroes that Enji trusts to deal with this sort of thing. (And also in a more personal way Enji was slightly projecting and seeing Hawks as another kid, so  it’s like ‘ah yes tell the family he’s also family’. The Dabi situation quickly turns this into a ‘the only reason I’m not filing adoption papers is because he’s a future in-law now’)

But also Hawks and Miruko get along great and definitely talk about many things.

[loadednachosao3]

what I make is WILDLY inconsistent from month to month, which is inconvenient, so it needs to be planned around. I could make $600 or $8k depending on the customers, my health, whether or not I made any content for passive sales recently... my average when you take into account my best customer is about $200/hr, but if I were to just talk to a rando on the phone instead of fucking around with my whale, my rate has me earning about $120/hr. that doesn't include anything extra, like tributes (tips, basically), content buys, or things like that.

that also doesn't mean I WILL make that much just by being signed on. I could wait for hours for a 2-minute call, or I could talk for 3 hours to the same guy and rake in bank. it all depends.

for me, with the niches I've picked, it comes pretty naturally. I've always been a very sexual person, so this career progression wasn't too difficult for me! the hardest part is making sure at the start to learn all the common scams so you can stop yourself from falling for them.

and BOUNDARIES! especially for people who have been socialized not to "rock the boat," it can be difficult to enforce them at first. but you need to be able to do that in this business! even if you market as submissive, stand firm!

but as far as the actual work goes... some guys are more difficult than others because their kinks aren't as familiar to me, or they're really picky, or I need to be tuned the fuck in the entire time... usually though, it's a lot of being mean, laughing at their tiny dicks, and taunting them with my body, which is easy peasy by now!

ok, I guess I lied a bit... when you're independent, there's also the matter of things like marketing, graphic design, audiovisual editing... the clerical work is a SLOG! so be aware if you try to go into it that that's what you're in for. it's a job like any other, so it's not a total breeze!

TAXES TOO!! you have to do them on your own, or get a sex worker-friendly accountant (lots will turn you down if you do 18+ work). so set aside 30% for that (or however much for your area)!

as for its similarities to 1-800-SALAMANCA, I actually based a lot of the content off of my real experiences! I modeled early Nacho off of some of my most annoying customers, lmao. the stubbornness, the hanging up without saying bye, the "you're the Dom, aren't you supposed to tell me my own kinks without me giving you any info???" bullshit, deleting and remaking the account... a little bit of a vent story there, LOL!

now, I don't have as glamorous a career as Lalo, nor do I have nearly as many finsubs. but I've done my fair share of findom before, so Lalo's personality is sort of a mixture of my persona and how I'd imagine him as a character to act! also, the site they use is named the way it is because it's a parody of the site I mainly work on, lmao. but with improved functionality.

I got into it because I had health issues that caused me to quit my vanilla job. I tried to be a freelance writer for a while... what a mistake! I should have gotten right into sex work, then maybe I wouldn't have had to piss through all my savings. I just figured, I like sex, camgirls make money, I'm hot... why not?

alas, camming was a LOT more work than I was expecting, especially with a physical disability! I found out through camming that phone sex was still a thing, and got into that instead. whew! much better! I also create content to sell on several sites. that's good for passive income, which is great on bad days!

as for whether I'd recommend it... I'd say yes, but with caveats. you have to be a certain type of person: firm with boundaries, decently creative, strong stomach, resilient to negative comments and insults directed toward both your body and personality, strong sense of marketing and design (or willing to learn), and the drive to keep going even when it's slow.

what you do NOT have to be: conventionally attractive, allosexual, a nymphomaniac, non-monogamous, white, skinny, cis, big-boobed, attracted to men, completely confident with your body, a total master of everything, into every kink. of course, having some or all of these things will certainly help you (hello privilege), but ANYONE of any sex, gender, color or creed can do this! trust me: there are men attracted to EVERY type of person. and they WILL pay to get what they want (your attention/content).

so I'd say go for it if you think you'd like it, but DO. YOUR. RESEARCH. FIRST! lots of it! you're NOT going to make it big selling feet pics on onlyfans as a total newbie. you CAN make a decent (or amazing) living off of it if you have dedication, creativity, patience, and time, though!

thanks for the thorough questions! let me know if you guys have more!

More in-depth details abt Crystal and Clems falling out that happens in my hc/au along with a couple hcs

CW for mentions of suicide/self harm, parental abuse/neglect, bullying and toxic relationships

So in the post I made abt my hcs for older Crystal and Clem I mentioned they had a falling out during Clems last year at camp and I thought I’d talk about how it happened

Before I talk about that I wanna talk a bit about my hcs/speculations on both of their home lives bc it does come into play

CLEM: so its heavily implied on his campster that he and his dad don’t have a good relationship along with his dad being verbally abusive to him

We don’t have any info on his mom but I think she either A. Is out of the picture ( death, divorce etc ) B. Similarly abusive or C. Enables her husbands abuse towards his son ( either due to not caring or fear of also being abused )

I also feel like his dad would be physically abusive too ( to what severity I’m unsure )

When Clem gets older he’s either kicked out or he runs away. A scenario I have in mind that would lead to that is that he finally retaliates against his father ( most likely with psi powers and possibly leading to his fathers death or injury )

I think that Clem is also extremely envious of the campers who have happy ( or presumably happy ) home lives, it could be somewhat implied depending on how you interpret the tone on this post on Elton’s campster

So yea he has a really rough home life

He also most likely barely has any friends in his hometown too.

CRYSTAL: we don’t really have any canonical info on her home life so I’ll just talk about my personal interpretation

Compared to Clem her home life isn’t as “ bad “ but is still shitty. I feel like her parents could neglectful/distant and would dismiss their daughters clear mental health struggles ( ie oh it’s just a phase/I’ve had similar issues when I was her age but I pushed though it )

I’ve also seen some interpretations of them being very religious which I im not sure if I hc that but it’s interesting to think about.

Personally I think the major factor to her depression is that she’s severely bullied/ostracized at school ( especially if she’s in an area where there’s little to no psychics )

Another thing I’d like to note is that compared to Clem it seems that some of the other campers are genuinely worried about her mental state

I excluded Elka, Kitty and Nils bc they didn’t seem all that geniune/had ulterior motives ( I also omitted Chops replying to Bennys comment bullying her bc idk if that would fully count but I personally think he’s concerned for her well-being )

Clem doesn’t exactly have this on his campster

Sure he has positive testimonies but none of them seem to be concerned about his mental state compared to Crystals

^ This is the closest thing we have and even then Milka doesn’t seem to be all that concerned but moreso confused on why he was stealing the drain-o

I think that ends up affecting Clem and causes him to become jealous of Crystal but bottles up those feelings because he doesn’t want to bother her with his issues.

Anyways after the events of psychonauts 1/the campers having their brains stolen/Crystal and Clems “ project “ Crystal starts to be like “ oh shit maybe I should try and better my mental health “ it’s tough at first for her but she does genuinely wanna get better. She starts reaching out to the counselors ( both the canonical ones like Milla and some personal oc counselors since I hc that there’s more counselors than Sasha Milla and Coach ) along with the other campers ( Phoebe I think is one of the campers she starts to hang out with more often )

Clem however doesn’t hold the same viewpoints and throws himself in the cycle of faking positivity and partaking in self harm/planning his next “ project “. Eventually he stops the faking positivity altogether and just becomes incredibly withdrawn and kind of rude/snappy to the other campers

Crystal tries to help him but she can only do so much. It’s also pretty mentally/emotionally taxing for her bc Clem tries to drag her down with his cynicism so she starts to hang out with him less ( she still makes sure he’s not harming himself )

Clem takes notice of the fact Crystal is less keen on hanging out with him and it makes his jealously worse. It gets to the point where he can’t bottle it up anymore and he starts to become kinda cold to her? Also manipulative to an extent bc he notices that regarding their suicide pact she’s been “ flaking out “ along with making her promise to not tell anyone about what happened during that one summer.

It causes Crystal a lot of distress and her mental state starts to regress. Someone notices ( ie a camper or counselor ) and asks if she’s ok to which she tells them everything ( the suicide pact she and Clem had and how she’s concerned for his mental state ). Crystal also begs them not to tell Clem that she said that if they end up deciding to confront him about it.

When someone inevitably confronts Clem about what Crystal told them ( ie his suicidal tendencies and he and crystals attempting a suicide pact that one summer ) he immediately knows that Crystal blabbed.

This results in a huge argument between them with Crystal trying to reason with Clem and him finally spilling out his bottled up feelings towards her. He says some pretty nasty things to her in an attempt to make her feel worse and Crystal ends up saying some choice things too.

Afterwards Clem gives her the cold shoulder ( even when Crystal tries to apologize for what she said ) and basically becomes reclusive. He’s just waiting to get out of this stupid camp.

So Clem graduates from whispering rock without so much as a goodbye to Crystal

Crystal feels so awful about it which results in her going through a really bad mental health situation. Luckily she has a support system to help her get through it even if it’s only at camp.

Her home life is still pretty bad but she does end up getting a therapist ( though her parents aren’t exactly thrilled about it ) and she starts to hone her skills in levitation along with learning mental projection and psi punch. She also becomes pen pals with some of the former campers including Phoebe, Quentin and Lili ( she doesn’t fully reconnect with Raz until she starts her internship )

Crystal starts her internship at Pyschonauts when she’s around 15 and reconnects with her camp friends including Raz. She often hangs out with Lili so she and Raz end up becoming pretty close ( she ends up gaining a small crush on both him and Lili and maybe Phoebe later down the line bc I think they’re cute )

I haven’t decided on who her mentor would be yet though. Maybe Gisu or Morris bc they seemingly specialize in levitation? I’ll need to continue watching Holly play pyschonauts 2 to know for sure. I love @/doodle17s idea of her having psyball rollerblades/roller skates so I’m thinking of using that idea for her

Meanwhile Clem is in spiral which results in him hating humanity and starts to become a villain. At first it was pretty minor/petty crime things but as he got older it the crimes became more serious to the point he’s getting involved with the psychic mafia ( ran by Maloof )

Crystal does still attempt to check in with Clem though to usually no avail ( the only reason she knows he’s not dead is bc she’s in contact with Mikhail who has contact with Clem along with him occasionally responding though it’s very rare for him to and if he does it’s very a short/blunt conversation )

I’m still trying to hash out on the details on when they “ reunite “ ( deciding between when she becomes a junior psychonaut or when she ends up tagging along on a mission with Raz and co )

[letitrainathousandflames]

Omg thank you for saying it

Multiple times I've come across ppl literally sharing images of people who've been killed (in one case children what the fuck???) And even if its below a cut I still have to read the description of why they've put it under a cut. I know ppl have different opinions of this stuff but in my view that's so disrespectful of those who've lost their lives. The guilt trippy stuff (and I'm sorry but it's largely coming from people that don't know what they're talking about, as shown by the fact that there's literally no awareness that the stuff that's being said/shown untagged is hugely triggering for ppl who've lived through this stuff)

This is not a news site!!! People trying to avoid this stuff does not mean they don't have awareness of what's going on and aren't staying aware by getting their news from actual news sources???

I'm not against people talking about this stuff on here at all. It needs to be talked about. But for the love of God, making a post is not the same as taking to people in person. People do not have the option to walk away when you just send a post out in to the ether like that. Just tag things appropriately it's not that hard!!!

So yeah thank you for saying it. I always feel hugely guilty for trying to avoid certain things because of the guilt tripping that's so rife on this site but I really shouldn't cause half of what's coming up isn't even constructive (or true a lot of the time) and it just brings up a whole load of stuff that hits my mental health and makes it harder for me to actually campaign in a way that helps people

I always think of that one tweet that's like 'misery is not activism' making people feel shit isn't actually solving any of these issues or helping the world at all lol

When it comes to this topic, I always think of some articles I read about the human brain's capacity for processing bad news. One of them was titled something like "your brain can't handle the world".

Basically, it talked about how years ago (mind you, not that many years, given how fast modern technology evolved) you would get your handful of news, good and bad, on the newspaper or on TV and radio, and even that was already much more than a person in the 1800's would, given the slow pace of letters and how only vital info was able to fit into one. Newspapers would often only carry local news, and you could spend a whole lifetime without knowing what was happening in countries on the other side of the ocean.

Now, imagine that. A wedding would be the talk of the town for weeks. A funeral would be The Sad Event for your to grieve over for the following months. That is the amount of happy and sad (and playful, and contemplative, and other emotions) that one could experience and process in a healthy manner.

But nowadays, you get see the story of a family adopting their first puppy two continents away, and that's great and cool, but unfortunately that also means that you get the story of a bunch of children dying two continents away too, and the testimony of their families, and the overview of the political landscape that lead to this happening and the bleak understanding that that's not gonna change and it will happen again--

all that while you might be dealing yourself with a fascist government in your country, and your own bad news, and your own shitty economy, and laws that hurt a minority of which you are a part, and, and--

That is all too much. Literally too much for the mind of someone who is already tired of doing their own activism and surviving within the microcosm that is their town/community/country.

So you close CNN. You turn off the news livestream. You take a deep breath and you open tumblr because your mind is parched for dopamine and happiness you could use some cute fanart and compelling headcanons to relax.

You are two cute dog pics down when you scroll into graphic pictures of the latest massacre, paired with a detailed testemony of whatever horrific thing that happened. There isn't even a link for donations, or an e-mail you can reach to do anything remotely useful about it. It's just a spatter of misery smeared on your phone screen, quickly erasing all joy you might've gotten from the dog pics.

Your taglist is extensive, mind you, for the sake of keeping your dash a small safe haven from the dangers of doomscrolling - it's all there, blocked from sight: #negative, #current events, #death/, #child death/, #animal death/, #[insert current world tragedy], #[insert topic particularly triggering that could send you into a panic attack].

But people don't tag their shit. They say shit like "i don't care your blog theme, if you don't reblog this, you're a monster". They say "stop scrolling and look at this horrific thing". They say "why is no one talking about this"--

And don't realize, or don't care that some people are drowning in bills to pay and extra shifts to work and needing to double-think about wearing their pride pins because homophobia is getting worse in their country, and struggling with depression and anxiety, etc, etc.

I'm too adhd to make a concise text post ever, but if I can make any sort of point here, I guess that would be:

There is nothing wrong with not wanting to see, reblog or interact with negative posts about current events. This is not a news website. You did not come here for the news, and therefore is perfectly normal that you don't want to deal with them.

There is nothing wrong with making your dash a nice place curated with only the things you like. Block tags and blogs liberally. I know I do. This website is, to me, a source of memes, headcanons, jokes, character analysis and occasional useful knowledge. I don't get my news here. I don't engage in political/ideological debates here. I see a transphobe, I block them. I see a gun-freak bootlicker, I block them. This is my little garden, and goddamnit I will rip off all the weeds.

There is nothing wrong with not reblogging certain content, no matter what the guilt-trippy reblogs say. You don't owe anyone the space in your blog. This is your little garden, people don't get to tell you what to plant in it. You are one. Little. Person. You rebbloging something won't have the Big Worldly Impact they're making it out to be.

If you want to make room for the occasional activism in your blog, that's fine too. I make a point that everything I reblog that has a negative tone must be not only properly tagged but also have some kind of action attached to it - a donation link, a link for further reading in case of something raising awareness, a contact line for representatives to stop some dogshit law. I never reblog things that are just depressing and leave you feeling hopeless.

Please stay safe, drink water, be wary of doomscrolling, allow yourself not to be an activist 24/7, give yourself a safe space to decompress, take care, I love you <3

Before I go, I must leave fair warning to the piss-poor reading comprehension crowd: no, I am not advocating for toxic positivity or pretending that everything is fine, I just want the poor fuck juggling two jobs plus school while living in a political hellscape and managing depression and some other undiagnosed mental condition to be able to scroll the funny shitposting website without having to see triggering content that will send them into a panic attack.

Oh, and if you like my writing, here's my ko-fi for you to drop a lil coin <;3

[morguemaw]

hello, hope this isn't like offensive or anything. but what's the difference between lusttale and underlust?

Hihi! It isnt :) I really love talking abt lustale, it also helps make sure those who are new to my profile understand Lustale <3 I really suggest looking through my tag ill have below on this post, since it has much more info. but i will try to sum it up for you! TW for a few triggering things!

I wanna first clarify my issues with Underlust and why i made Lustale. - Underlust has lots of issues such as the curveball of MTT being raped, the owner drawing / or drawing fanart of a AU that had a nazi chara, the sudden depression Sans gathers (no build up nor mention, the fact that the skeleton brothers have canon incest relationships.

The owner clarified their mental health wasnt good to continue the AU, hence why parts are most likely really bad. They also said they have stopped working on the AU, and its a fandom owned AU now like Underswap.

The main changes are;

x Chara has the trait of passion instead of Lust, when Chara fell down the monsters were sealed underground after the battle that caused a great depression, Chara ended up passing away but the monsters wanted the trait, and tried to copy it. This failed and the trait Lust was created, as Lust and Passion can be mistaken for the Monsters not understanding x Lustale will be taking a more Slice of Life story, it will only have the visual vibes of Underlust, and loose Undertale storyline. Other then that, there will not be anything such as breaking the barrier (as the monsters are also content and happy as they are ) until very very later on. Battles are less common in this AU, too. x Flowey is made via Asriel's soul breaking, Asgore and Toriel could not have children (Toriel is infertile) and tried to combine their souls to create Asriel's soul, however it was weak and dusted, therefore being sprinkled into a rose similar to how the Rose Flowey in Underlust was made

x Almost each and every character has a new personality, job, backstory, and more. They arent just empty headed sex freaks. I want them to have actual personality instead of "Omg Sans is a femboyant stripper slay king omg" . I also wanna clarify my Lust HATES being called anything feminine or femboyant, no this isnt a issue to those who have lusts' like this.

The only things i kept the same between them are:

x Designs of the characters being similar. It would be hard to revamp Underlust with fully new designs, because that both pushes it too far from what its supposed to be, but ruins the nostalgia of the original characters. Instead i did a few tweaks, minus some characters such as Undyne, Alphys, Toriel, and in the future more characters will have larger redesigns. This is only because Sans and Papyrus are more iconic with the AU, mainly Sans.

x A few pieces of the lore i may keep; However since the lore for Underlust is very short and has alot of wonky pieces, along with a extremely short comic, its hard to really keep anything about Underlust in my AU Lustale, because, to be fair, there is absolutely jack shit to go on.

And you didnt ask for this, but my main reason for doing it is:

With Underlust, there is JACK SHIT to go off of with characters. There is ZERO development, we get to learn NOTHING about them other than they like sex and making other AU counterparts uncomfortable. All we get for story is Mettaton was raped (which is NEVER brought up again. ) and that Sans is actually depressive and has lots of self hate, which again, is NEVER brought up. We learn nothing of what characters like and dislike, we learn nothing about the AU, we learn nothing about their jobs or positions, the entire AU is built up on sex, sex, and more sex. Lustale is a revamp of Underlust where they will be fleshed out, and, i can hope, will possibly replace Underlust because, holy shit, i really dont support Underlust.

Why did you elbow me? 86

Undercover Beckett part 1

Bill: pov no wonder she is so tired Castle says she gets tired easier than most people.

Alexis: pov dad tells me to get our things. He carefully moves her so he can get up. Kate wakes up suddenly and starts looking around all panicked and frightened.

Lily: pov wow I have never seen someone wake up that freaked out, Castle mentions where she is and everything is okay. I can see he is rubbing her back. He asks if she is okay, she says yeah just freaked out a little. She thanked us for tonight in a sleepy voice. Castle picks her up and carries her to the car since she is still sleepy, Alexis is carrying their stuff. Kate is in Castle's arms, her head resting on his shoulder, her arms are, around his neck and her butt is resting on his left hip, his left arm is holding her up.

Kate: pov it is the next day I took my meds and ate a banana. Ryan mentions when he and Esposito visited the rehab place they were very rude and didn't want anything to do with them. A patient mentioned some suspicious deaths that had happened, could be a cover up. We have to tread lightly because it could have been anyone who killed her, even a staff member or other patient. Ryan said he used street cameras to follow the car that dumped the body on the surveillance camera all the way to that rehab place. I called deputy chief gates to request an undercover officer.

Gates: pov I mention to Kate you have health issues which could be used to our advantage. You have PTSD and take emergency injectable heart meds sometimes which could make it look like you have a drug problem. Your heart condition causes you to be tired a lot and your post traumatic pain might help, they might think you're trying to cover up pain with drugs. Maybe we should send you undercover. It is agreed by the higher ups that Kate is going undercover. Her cover story says she has had issues since her Dad's death. We can't mention she was shot so we have to find another way to mention her heart condition. Maybe she got it from drug use. Hmm I'm going to have someone make fake medical records. I tell Kate she has to cover the bullet scar with a bandage or something.

Castle: pov Kate tells me she is going undercover in a drug rehab place, Gates suggested it since she has PTSD and a heart condition it could make it look like she is a drug user. Lanie has been informed on everything, we have lunch with the boys and Lanie to go over the case. Dr Burkett has already been informed, Lanie will be visiting her regularly to make sure she is okay. Kate was briefed on what info she needed Kate was advised not to take any drugs offered to her since they could affect her heart.

Esposito: pov the rest of the day was spent doing paperwork and research. Kate's hair is being dyed blonde later. We were advised by Gates not to comb her hair tomorrow or let her shower, since it would make her look more like a drug user.

Castle: pov I head back to the loft to help Kate pack, me and Lanie are dropping her off the day after tomorrow.

Martha: pov it's the middle of the day, Katherine and Richard are coming in the front door. I tell them I thought you had a murder to solve Katherine says yes but I have to go undercover as a drug user in a rehab place. Richard says since she has symptoms from PTSD and her heart condition it will make it look like she is a drug user.

Kate: pov Castle is packing a bag full with my medical stuff i might need. Most of my clothes button in the front, same with my bras. Once we are done Castle starts on dinner, which is my favorite vegetable stew without the meat. Martha was nice enough to run to the local drug store and get some box hair dye. She helps me dye my hair blonde. Castle also changed his appearance. It turns out it does not look so bad at all. It was now 2 days later and Lanie and Castle were dropping me off at the rehab place. Last night I had a bad nightmare so I'm kind of tired.

Monday 8am

Lanie: pov at the rehab place me and Castle met with the lady in charge. Kate definitely looks like a drug user. She did a good Job faking it. I mentioned to the lady Jo has a heart condition and takes 2 types of meds one by mouth daily and another one weekly in her pod on her side. I give her a list of foods Jo can not eat. I mention she also has nightmares. I give her my phone number and mention in any medical emergency call me immediately. I go over Jo's fake medical history with the woman. The lady mentions all meds have to be locked in this office to prevent other patients from getting to them. I ask if any staff members are trained in CPR or know how to use a defibrillator, Margaret says yes.

Castle/Derek: pov Kate has to have an exam done by one of their Dr's. Lanie is allowed to be in the room.

Kate: pov Lanie knows how to fake a blood test so it looks like I'm on drugs. The nurse named Cindy weighed me. She put a pulse ox-meter on my finger and took my blood pressure. She then asked me to lift up my shirt so she could listen to my heart, my nervousness makes it look like I'm on drugs. I heard her comment about how huge my scar is. Turns out I'm being except as a patient.

Castle/Derek: pov I help carry Kate's bags to her room. Her new name is Jo Houghton. In honor of her mother. I kissed her goodbye. To be continued. ………

I have a bad ankle as a result of my autism related mobility issues, my muscles keep falling asleep and I sprain the bad ankle every time. Does the bad ankle I use a brace for not “count” as being disabling just because I developed it as a consequence of living with a different disability?

If I trip and fall, and accidentally push into someone, do I say. “Hey, that’s on me for not paying attention enough to my muscles in my bad ankle while walking on the foot I was aware I repeatedly sprain.”

“Or do I say, sorry man, bad ankle.”

And I think, also, that both yourself and OP are completely polarizing these responses, as though there are not very happy mediums that exist without coming off as dismissive of the other person?

Like, “I’m sorry. I do have developed RSD as a symptom of my disability, but part of mental health is ownership, and I recognize there were multiple things I could have done differently to avoid escalation and I shouldn’t make my issue your responsibility or pain. I truly am sorry and this is how I’m going to approach similar situations in future to avoid this outcome.”

And then, honestly, on top of that, you’re forgetting that a SHIT TON of the reason people pull out the pathologized words for their symptoms is because otherwise a lot of NTs and able-bodied people want you to walk them through your trauma and pain step by step, ESPECIALLY if your disability is invisible. When I’ve used response B in the past, it is CONSISTENTLY met with “but why. Explain it to me. Walk me through the pattern that caused this” even by empathetic allies. Because they innately want to know the root cause of why. And it’s a lot kinder to both parties to say “RSD” that to disclose the pattern of pain and possibly make things into trauma dumping or a subtle unintentional guilt trip.

And on top of it all, your argument that the fact that RSD is a word used to describe a developed symptom is really, really dismissive of NDs with developed divergences, or who have co-morbid developed symptoms and disabilities. Neurodivergence means a brain that works differently. That includes people with developed differences like DID and OSDD, the larger amount of whom developed said disorder, for example. And the community is HUGE on system accountability, yet your supposed false dichotomy model on how to apologize would require some amount of invasive trauma dumping or info disclosure for that, frankly, is dangerous, triggering, and puts way too much emotional labour and punishment on people with developed neurodivergences in comparison to people with innate divergences. And I’m saying this as someone with both.

Come on.

EDIT: like real life example. I was diagnosed as autistic as a child. But my developed co-morbidities were only diagnosed in early adulthood.

I have experienced not having the pathologized words to describe my reactions, and I have SEEN the difference to the two responses in practice as a result.

It plays out a little like:

“Hey, sorry I screamed when you accidentally finger shocked me. I [very matter of fact explanation of my behavioural pattern here.]”

[Person I’m talking to immediately realizes the implications behind why matter of fact pattern exists and starts holding back tears or bursting into stress laughter because unfortunately even alluding to it makes it obvious what happened to me]

Vs

“Hey, sorry I screamed when you tapped me. I forgot my breathing exercises and to remedy that I’ve started practicing them more regularly to make them second nature again, so that won’t happen. It’s just a PTSD symptom. Sorry again.”

“Oh yeah, no problem, totally understand. And I’ll be more careful about touch around you too.”

“Okay cool.”

Sick list of symptoms bro. Now try humanizing your behavior instead of pathologizing it.

Ken Kaneki | Shironeki [ Tokyo Ghoul ]

{ Info } ☾ { Roleplay with me } ☾ { Ask this character } ☾ { Tag } ☾ { Guidelines }

Character Name: Ken Kaneki Age: 19 Species : Half-ghoul, Half-kakuja Canon: Tokyo Ghoul Canon Point: Chapter 121 or 143 Character Information: Wikia

Meeting Kaneki Half-ghouls/half-Kakujas Visuals

Personality:

At the beginning, Kaneki was a very kind, polite young man, extremely introvert and without many friends (he only has one, in fact). Very intelligent, and due to leading a very lonely life, Kaneki relied on books in order to learn and to be closer to his father who had passed away when he was still young. However, all of this hid how lonely Kaneki truly was, and worse: it hid how much he had been abused by his own mother, who was unable to get over her husband’s death and physically abused her own son in order to release her frustration. This same woman while taking care of her kid was also overworking herself to death in order to help her own terrible sister, and eventually she passed away from exhaustion.

Because of this, Kaneki grew up thinking that he had to hurt if he wanted to be loved. He believed by trying to speak up about his issues, his mind and his opinions, he was being selfish and that meant others would not love him. Kaneki was taught to sacrifice his own happiness and this is why he was quiet and would prefer to be hurt rather than hurting someone else. And he believed he had to help everyone all the time because that’s what his mother always did and that made her look like the kindest person, in his eyes. Kaneki always held on to the things his mother taught him through abuse, but he never really saw that as something bad.

Then he became a ghoul. Thanks to a crazy scientist, Kaneki became someone who had to consume others in order to survive and that caused him a lot of distress because it goes right against what he believed. However, through this, he was able to recognize the world is not black and white, ghouls are not just monster, and also was able to recognize his own weaknesses: he was unable to protect the ones he loves by just sitting around and hope everything got magically fixed. The first part of the manga focuses on that. And then he was kidnapped by a terrorist ghoul group called Aogiri Tree and he was tortured to extremes.

This leads to something changing within Kaneki. he realized the world is wrong, messed up. He admitted to himself his mother was weak for being unable to choose between her son and her sister, admitted he was weak too and that if he did want to protect his people, he had to go to extremes and eradicate anyone who’d threaten them; to be strong meant to eat others. Only this way he’d be able to protect his loved ones and be loved in turn, and so he would not be lonely because Kaneki can't stand loss and isn't able to live with loss.

So he went on rampage. He took upon himself to pluck out (kill and eat) bad ghouls, eradicate Aogiri Tree and the doctor who turned him into this. During this, his power grew out of control and Kaneki's mental health deteriorated so much that he became suicidal and started seeking death: he hoped to die as a hero and after sleep forever, because that was the only way for him to ever be forgiven or fixed. Kaneki is the epitome of tragedy and he shows us that his good intentions were very destructive.

Kaneki's core didn't change; he is a sweet, kind person who loves his friends and who'd do anything for them, and he doesn't like to hurt people. However as he became much more driven and obsessed with gaining power in order to protect said friends that sometimes, Kaneki started to jump from his gentle demeanor into a vicious state in just a few seconds.

In Kaneki’s mind, he was finally doing something and becoming merciless towards “bad ghouls” and consuming them had to be done so he could protect everyone. But Kaneki is not a cruel and vicious person by nature. Rather than being a repressed sadist, Kaneki's trauma twisted him into something he doesn't recognize, and in response he did exactly what his traumatic experiences taught him: be violent in return. He spiraled, violence and madness turned him numb, and suddenly he was relishing on other's pain.

And he hated it. He was scared of it, and he thought of himself as a monster for it. Kaneki’s violence came back to haunt him every time and ate away at his sanity, and devoured him from within. And he finally reached a point where he realized he was doing everything wrong.

So he stops everything. Kaneki decides he needs to stop and all he can do is to “sleep and have a happy dream”, because he doesn't know how else to go back, how to stop being ugly, and realizes that all of his fighting has been about his own loneliness, which continues to plague him and won't stop because of the world he lives in and the world he built/destroyed for himself.

He shoved away his mother's words and accepted he had to become stronger and hurt others, but because of his trauma, Kaneki was not able to control himself and he was not able to become strong the right way where others would be protected rather than hurt. He thought keeping everyone away would work, but even then he is still hurting Touka, whom he abandoned, just like he is hurting Banjou who he did NOT abandon. Damned if you do, damned if you don't. So the best way is just to sleep. Forever.

Hello again! I’m the person who requested ‘Reader Overblots’ and I’m here to request something that is also blot-related.

May I request Riddle, Azul and Jamil who severely injured their S/O during their overblot and only find out about it after accidentally bumping into their injury either in class or on one of their dates :DD

Love your writing! I hope you’re having a good day or night!!

omg… i love this a lot<3

Also!! Tysm!! I’m having a lovely day so far, and to you as well~!

*＊✿❀【Ｈｕｒｔ　Ｄｕｒｉｎｇ　Ｔｈｅｉｒ　Ｏｖｅｒｂｌｏｔ】❀✿＊*

| Info you need! v

Riddle, Azul, + Jamil finding out they hurt their s/o during their Overblot!

Warnings; Reader Injury,

i’m trying to practice writing scenes so just skip to the “keep reading” thing after if you don’t want to read it:)

Your love and yourself are walking around, being tasked with getting some more ingredients for an upcoming party.

You nodded along to his quiet ranting, something about food, you couldn’t bring yourself to remember more than little snippets of what he was saying.

It’s been a week since his overblot, but your foot hasn’t felt any better, on account of you wanting to be there for your boyfriend and not “Taking it easy”. You had managed to escape the worst case “Maximum Damage”, but not without a close call or two, where you ended up scraping your hands and with a sprained ankle after launching yourself out of the way and tripping over your feet over one of this attacks.

“-And then they had the audacity to tell me, “It’s the same thing.” Can you believe that?” They, who was in front of you, turned around to get your input, only to stop confusedly, “Are you okay, [Name]? You look like you’re going to keel over.”

Having saw you were limping before, having brushed it off with a reminder to put your foot up when you told him that it was from Mr. Vargas’s training.

There was, in fact, no Vargas Training, only neglect for your own health.

Anyways, after you do actually keel over on the ground, He rushes to your side in a mix of panic and confusion. He ends up cast a levitation spell on you and leads you to the Infirmary but your hand to keep you near.

Once there, and explaining that they didn’t tell him what was wrong besides previous training with Mr. Vargas.

Later, after going to sit in the waiting room, is told that you needed to rest for the day and that he was dismissed if he wasn’t injured himself.

AZUL is clearly worried, he keeps smiling but it’s clearly saying “God please help me, if you even sound a bit angry even if its not at me then I’m going to have a nervous breakdown and I’m sorry-“

…Yeah, He’s still got sum issues, this is before he finds out “Oh shit this is actually my fault”

When he does find out though! he’s muttering apologies and bringing small peace offerings (cut up fruit and chocolate) even if you say that he doesn’t need to bring them to you.

He apologizes but is also confused on why the hell you went a fucking week on your injured leg, and thinks that you didn’t tell him cause you didn’t trust him which makes him feel worse

After learning you just wanted to be with him through his “recovery period”… Yeah, good luck w that because he keeps you in bed for however long your recovery period lasts so ha

JAMIL isn’t clearly worried, he practiced his rbf for years you ain’t seeing anything “clearly”

He asks the basic questions If you’re okay, do you need anything, what happened-

Oh? It was from his overblot incident from a week ago?… and, you thought you could power through it because you wanted to be with him?

He stares at you, unblinking, in silence until he finally opens his mouth and calls you dumb

and that he loves you, but god you’re so dumb

He feels bad ofc, and apologizes for it but also why would you do that? and keep it a secret?

Jamil won’t be able to keep you company a lot… Is what Jamil and you both think until Kalim learns you’re injured and floods your house with flowers and claims they’re going to stay with you to be at your beck and call.

Jamil is partially okay with it, but also “Kalim please they need to actually rest.”

Anyways, Kalim is the one that.. supports you and gets whatever Jamil tells him to and Jamil actually does the cooking, etc.

Amazing, house husband<333

RIDDLE feels so horrible and won’t leave you’re side, and is also more irritable than normal because he’s mad that he believed such a foolish lie

He doesn’t know exactly what to do but he does buy some if those herbal tea’s for you to drink and sorta relax with

After learning it was, indeed, his fault, he does also feel horrible but has a hard time with it so he just puts his head on your should and apologizes

Trey helps check up on you, and cooks because Riddle will badger you if you try to get up

the type to tie you in a bunch of blankets before he leaves to ensure nothing happens

Riddle won’t leave his dorm, but if he’s not in actual classes (with no other tasks) then he’s at your dorm, helping you with whatever until you tell him you’re okay or you fall asleep.

Riddle, at some point, probably fall asleep while in your bed but you don’t have the heart to wake him up (plus he’s a fucking heater) and yeah<333

The scarecrow, Jonathan Crane

I decided to make Scarecrow and Doctor Crane into two separate entities. I also want Doctor Crane to be a chemist or biochemist? I just know more about those than I do psychology for one and I think it's best if he's the one who has the means to invent his own fear toxin.

regarding fear toxin... I think it's pretty weak sauce. I think when your primary weapon can be fought off by the power of being just to gosh darn brave. That's a problem and really lame. Hallucinating your insecurities and issues while kind of interesting for a visual medium, doesn't totally cut it for me when you want to have a sustainable villain that can regularly be an actual challenge for the hero.

I'm seriously not impressed with scarecrow coming back and being like "It's pretty much the same shit as last time but STRONGER!" and then batman trips balls again about his dead parents. It's kind of stale.

So looking into what could be the real life equivalent of fear toxin could be, with the hallucinations, it's can pretty much be chalked up to a really bad acid trip, shrooms, or way too much marijuana. While kind of funny I'm not completely satisfied with a scarecrow that's just a drug addict that's a little too enthusiastic about sharing his stash and maybe writing down what happens for quote unquote "psychology reasons".

So what I'm suggesting is maybe fear toxin can be a real chemical compound used for biological warfare or something with some serious symptoms. Things that simulate the feeling of or can straight up trigger a panic attack. a good match for a real life fear toxin is 3-Quinuclidinyl benzilate. Symptoms characterized by the mnemonic "Mad as a hatter, red as a beet, dry as a bone and blind as a bat" there's antidotes one of them include atropine (you know belladonna? the deadly nightshade) . Another possible fear toxin is 1,1,2-trichloro-1,2,2-trifluoroethane a refrigerant that when inhaled irritates the lungs, causing coughing or shortness of breath. Exposure can also cause headaches, dizziness, tiredness or confusion. You can also lose recent memory or have a convulsion and an even higher dose can cause irregular heartbeat and death. (info from Delaware health and social services, division of health)

I really like the idea of the fear toxin being more than just a hallucigen that you can will your way through as Jon just watches you as you trip balls. The fear toxin is a serious chemical that if not reasonably controlled or is thrown about willy nilly can actually kill someone and to Jon it's just a deterrent to keep people away from him not necessarily a weapon just to hurt people.

Regarding Jonathan Crane and the scarecrow, two seperate entities... Jon is a nervous wreck of a man who is terrified of people and death yet it sort of follows him everywhere he goes. In the form of a giant rag doll creature that he doesn't understand. Dr. Crane is an absolute hermit keeping completely to himself as far as anyone is concerned and as far as Crane is concerned, which is about everything, the creature that follows him around; the scarecrow is more than happy to kill anything that threatens him and constantly keeps him company. Balancing his terror of the world and his worry of the creature killing something that spooked him is always on his mind. Making him the most skittish person anyone has ever met.

Yet he's pushed into figuring out a mystery of who hired goons that tried to attack him and why were they after his research. When he's stuck with bodies of the thugs in his lab, which he gets help from a special coworker to resolve it, and the constant anxiety of it possibly happening again.

Crane develops fear toxin with it in mind as a nonlethal deterent for anything that might try to harm him as he tries to spare people from dying to the scarecrow creature that stalks and protects him from any of his perceived dangers. All the while hiding the creature and trying to solve why someone wanted to steal his work.

-- I really like the idea of Batman being a detective more than a fighter. I love the idea of his villains having their own problems to sort out and Batman always being a bit behind in figuring out what their deal is and why they ended up where they are. Instead of the asylum just knowing everything about everyone and chalking up their issues as some generalized mental illness. I feel like my Scarecrow is one of the special cases of which he's dragged into villainy, ends up having to embrace it with another villain's encouragement, and uncovering a deeper secret on his own all so he can get some peace of mind.

Here’s the reason why KOSA is bad, because this chain doesn’t really provide a lot of info:

1.) KOSA is the expansion of the  Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act, also known as COPPA. COPPA is why websites require you to be over 13 or confirm your age. COPPA has done a lot to protect minors and is a good thing, however, KOSA aims to expand the age of protection to 16 and under.

2.) KOSA calls for the censorship of certain topics that could cause mental health issues (such as suicide topics, eating disorders, self harm, etc) for websites that minors could reasonably be on. Not just social media, literally any website or app. iMessage, emails, web browsers, etc could fall under this bill. This could force these apps/websites to either sensor any sensitive topics or require a minimum age of 17 to use it, or both.

3.) KOPA does not specify what qualifies as harmful information, which means that websites will either have to make a case-by-case decision of what qualifies as harmful or they’ll have to censor everything that could qualify.

4.) Censorship of topics like drugs means that important information about them will be censored and hidden. Even content that isn’t necessarily promoting their use will be censored.

GET KOSA TRENDING.

STOP SCROLLING NOW!

AS OF FEBRUARY 21ST, 2024, WE GOT FIVE DAYS UNTIL THE DAY OF DECISION OF THE KOSA BILL, WHICH WILL CAUSE MASS CENSORSHIP ROUND THE INTERNET IF PASSED. OR DOOMSDAY. WE NEED EVERYONE TO KNOW ABOUT THIS AND CONTRIBUTE. I'M NOT GIVING UP ON YOU ALL.

WE'RE DOWN TO THE WIRE BUT WE CAN'T GIVE UP YET. IF WE GIVE UP, EVERYTHING IS OVER. IF WE DON'T, AT LEAST WE HAVE A CHANCE.

I'M THE ONE WHO SOUNDED THE ALARM, AND I'M NOT GOING TO CURL UP AND DIE YET.

Reblog this post in every LEGAL way you can under the Tumblr guidelines with the appropriate tags. TELL AND TAG EVERYONE YOU KNOW, then add the tags to see below... and more if you can think of any complying.

Visit badinternetbills.com if you want to find a way to defeat KOSA. It WILL NOT take much of your time. Reblog with any other information or sources, too-- but make sure to reblog if you can.

Reblog if you think KOSA is unfair and shouldn't be anyone's problem -- including the adults ALL OVER THE DAMN EARTH forced to face the mass censorship it causes because "think of the American Children!".

Reblog if you support internet activism and Palestine.

Reblog if you hate fascism or censorship, and don't want actually serious and helpful conversations censored on the internet.

Reblog if you value the internet in any way at all whatsoever.

We won't let this stand any longer. Let's start a riot and get this trending.

Can you tell us more about the university au? and the napstatons?

I’d love to!!

atm the basic premise of my university au is just a semi mordern setting with some of the au UT characters in a college university setting. There really isn’t a main plot on the au since there’s so many characters with their own stories and drama unfolds in each of them hahaha!

my sona is an art major! he’s close friends with some other students (aka: my friends sonas), sir, napsta, n, paps, junior, rus and ink! he’s unmotivated in school and honestly would rather sleep in, but he’s determined to get a degree in art!

—-

Now for the napstatons here’s one info about them in this au! Just an FYI they’re close family/triplets!

Napsta (swap): He’s the middle child of the 3 napstatons! Napsta constantly has his headphones on 24/7 to avoid conversations with strangers because he’s super anxious, but on a surface is really loud and carefree. People think that he’s just mainly in college because he likes to party a lot….which he does, but most of the time Napsta likes to attend to these parties to be the main DJ and test out his own music to see if the crowd likes it and such. He’s extremely shy and awkward and fakes it till he makes it B^) but overall he enjoys music and wishes to be a professional DJ someday, the napstatons are also extremely loaded 💵 Napsta has a sports scholarship but mainly uses it for his music major.

N (fellswap): N is the youngest of the 3 napstatons, hes also a music major but more or so focused on performance! He’s currently in a band that plays sometimes in campus or at some parties! He’s an extremely talented singer and most fawn over him because of his “bad boy” attitude and such so you could say N is sort of a popular guy on campus! But despite all the attention he gets, he’s actually not as cool as people make him out to be. Though rock and alt rock is what he plays, N also loves to play acoustic! But only when no one is watching because during those moments he’s purring his heart and soul into the music with some personal songs he wrote. Singing and playing music helps him relax and vent out things he can’t really say. He lacks communication and isn’t forward on how he truly feels because he cares more about what other people view and think of him due to lack of confidence and self worth. It didn’t help that he was expected to be as good as his brothers and to make something of himself when they’re older…

Nast (swapfell): Nast is the oldest of the 3 napstatons, and by far the weakest. To start, Nast is permanently blind; and has visible scars on his face, arms and body….ever since he was younger he was physically the weakest out of the triplets due to a lot of health issues, he was also abused and beaten a lot growing up which caused a lot of scars from him. Music was the only thing that comforted Nast during dark times, it took him years to memorize some instruments due to his blindness but he impressed everyone he knew when he shared what instruments he can play, which would be a lot but his favorite instrument would be the bass guitar and the electric guitar. Nast is also a music major but mainly focused on music composition! By his side, he is accompanied by his service pit bull dog named Razor! the two are practically inseparable. Nast also covers up his face with some masks to hide some parts of the huge scar he has on his face, he is deeply insecure about his appearance and considers himself repulsive. Nast is also extremely quiet, and some people can’t seem to read what he’s feeling or thinking due to his lack of communication, the mask that covers his mouth and his glasses….he truly is a mystery. Nast is a grump, which is why Napsta loves to playfully mess with him! ALSO!!! Nast would spend so much time alone with his music that he would forget to eat and do self care stuff that his body shuts down and gets sick when he doesn’t take care of himself!

 Rose is rather open instead of keeping to herself, being a bit more cheerful when outside of combat. Her focus is on seeing if others need assistance first, or finding good places around the landship to sleep in. She has refused to remove her armor as of late, resoning it as uncomfortable and rather painful for herself.

Rose’s offensive capabilities are rather unusual. Even when using her flames, she tends to ignore how hot they can get, even when they start to burn at her arms and hands and need Medics to heal her. Oriopathy seems to have caused Rose to be hypoalgeniac, as she claims to "barely feel a thing" despite the damage done unto herself. And with flame temperatures reaching almost 1400 degrees C, I wonder if she even realizes how dangerous her flames can get.

History? Why you asking me about that, Doc Kal? Ok, ok, I won’t call you Kal! Kal’tsit, better? Anyway… So Victoria was ruled by Draco once? And there may not be many… Eh, not my problem.

What? I’m being honest here. I don’t care about that. I care about helping people, keeping us safe. I hate seeing people, innocent people die. I’ve seen it happen too many times out there, out with them. Reunion… A lot of people start out good, but then they go bad. And those bad people hurt innocents. History doesn’t matter to me, simple as that Kal’tsit.

Even then… Oh, ‘Ghost’ is telling me it’s time for the meds. I’ll see you later, Doc!

Rose’s current weapon is a broadsword that has a shift setting inside of it. Made using materials that no longer need to be replaced after every fight, the weapon has a smaller blade that helps channel her flame arts better. However, at higher heats, the material can warp and change, so she tends to focus on firing flames like how Lappland attacks at range to keep the weapon from taking too much heat. The broadsword section itself is melted in some areas, and Rose has designed it to seem more like a mix of a cleaver and a sword. Her reasoning for the shape was only,

“It reminds me of a friend I worked with once. In their memory.”

Ghost… Do you think they’re proud of me? I know you can’t talk back to me, just chime when my body is shit, but… I wonder if they’re proud.

Dad and the gang. They picked me up, and trained me up, and then we lost them all. Innocent lives because that fucker decided to… To do that shit! Turn on everyone because he could, because he wanted. I won’t end up like Lunarre. I can’t just go looking for him either.

I’ll meet him out there. Maybe he’s joined Reunion, or maybe Dunwall or whatever it’s called. But I’ll avenge them. The gang, Dad, all of the people from that village.

Hmm? Time already? Geez, thinking really does focus time doesn’t it?
