RIP FF.net: How to save your favourite fic as an epub.

So since FF.net seems to have been shut down, I’ve seen a lot of posts about backing up your favourite fics.

Just a quick FYI, m.fanfiction.net still works, for now. FF.net bookmarks on AO3 also seem to work. But get in quick to save your favourite fics because who knows how much longer those links will last.

EDIT: @kagenoneko​ has helpfully let me know that FF.net is not gone; to access the desktop version of the site all you need to do is add www. before fanfiction.net. So “www.fanfiction.net” instead of just “fanfiction.net”.

Now, the quickest and easiest way is to use AO3′s download epub option.

But if you’re like me and you don’t like how the file is organized/laid out (theres no cover!), or you love a fic on a site that doesn’t have that option coughcoughLiveJournalcoughcough then heres some guy’s guide on how to turn your favourite fics into epubs.

First of all, a download list:

Calibre (yeah, you can convert files to epubs online, but Calibre lets you customise the e-book metadata that your device uses to organize files.)

Firefox add-on “Absolute Enable Right Click & Copy” (Don’t use Firefox? Google “Download Firefox”)

Microsoft Word or LibreOffice (LO is free and just as good as MW!)

But wait, random guy on the internet! What is the add-on for? Well, FF.net thinks it can stop you from highlighting and C&Ping text. FF.net is wrong.

Anyway.

Now that you’ve got your software, go ahead and C&P the fic into MW or LO. I recommend adding a page before the fic with some general information. This helps you remember all that useful information on the fic page. Below is what my first page looks like:

(Am I using a Naruto fic for this guide? Yes, yes I am. I’ve reached a point in my life where I have no dignity and no shame.)

Save that bad boy to your documents. Do not change the fic, remember it isn’t your work!

Now, open up Calibre.

Go to “add books” in the top left corner. Calibre accepts .doc, .docx, and .odt (LO’s file extension).

Now, at this point, the information boxes should be empty of everything except the title and, maybe, the author. If the author is wrong, chill, MW and LO sometimes save you as the author. Just change it to the correct author.

Anyway, now you get the fun fun job of reopening the fic page if you closed it. (Or, if you’re smarter than I was when I was figuring this out, you left it open. Go you!) Go over one button from “add books” (Or hit that right mouse button and go to “Edit metadata” then “Edit metadata individually”).

Most, if not all, of the information you need should be on the fic page. Some sites, like LiveJournal, will not have a lot of info, so you might need to wing it. You will need to create your own cover if you want one (look at my quickly thrown together one, they don’t need to be perfect. Mine has just enough info for me to know what fandom the fic is from).

The comment section isn’t very important, whatever you add there doesn’t show on the epub. I personally like to had the quick summery from the info page mentioned above.

Once you’re happy with the information you’ve added, hit “ok”. The row should look something like this (give or take whatever columns you have (I’ve personally removed some)):

Still happy with the info? Sweet! Time to move on to converting the file. Two buttons over from “add books” is “convert books”. Clicky.

One final chance to be really REALLY sure you’re happy with the info added, double check that the outcome format is epub (pdf is also there if you want it, but for e-books, epub is best. Reading something made of images like manga? I suggest pdf. But I also suggest a different program for pdfs.)

Still happy? Yay! Click “ok”. In the lower right corner, an arrow will appear over “Jobs: 1″. You can click “Jobs” if you want, but the conversion should only take a few seconds. If you click it, you’ll get this pop up:

Hide your old jobs if you want, its not overly important. I do it to stop the list looking to busy.

Once your file is converted, it’ll be saved where ever you stuck your Calibre file. Mines in a book file where I keep my ever growing collection of epubs and manga pdfs.

Upload that bitch to whatever your device is, however you upload files to your device. Personally, I rename the file to “Author - Fic Name” then drag and drop it into books on iTunes.

And boom:

You can also now change the settings to your preferred reading settings.

Now, enjoy your fic without worrying about it being deleted, or the site its uploaded to going down.

some observations and questions from a linguist about social media algorithms

i really wanna make some sense of algorithms because im not a tech girl but we all have been exposed to a lot of algorithm in the past couple of years.

a lot of the time people think about the content creators side, like creating content that gets recommended on tiktok, and how that starts to affect mental health and you cannot ever please everyone but also your art, yada yada yada. on tumblr for example the like button is virtually useless for supporting artists. unless you specifically go into the based on your likes thing, posts die if theyre not recirculated.

its kinda like reddit where you have to join a community to post at all. here you have your own blog, there you have a shared one. honestly tumblr dash is kinda like if early facebook (((friendships))) were based on tags not previous acquaintance.

dont forget pinterest. its all just about which folder you store it in and how many folders you create and if people can use a common folder like tags and and and

then theres recommendation algos where they see what you liked and recommend stuff youd like too. thats like the amazon algo. other people who bought x and y also bought z. here the algo is assuming fluid community boundaries instead of going by the ones you put in. by which criteria do they assume communities though?

Tags. duh. like you can filter tags like trigger warnings from your dash on tumblr. thats an algo. trigger warnings were also one of the first controverses, even before gamergate really. also, DNI was invented on tumblr (dont quote me on this)

but it doesnt have to be specifically tagged to be filtered out. tiktok captions have to be censored so we know thats being considered. do they do the reverse and recommend based on words people use?

lets talk the comments now. reddit has different sorting algorithms like hot, controversial, newest, oldest. but they are all ranked on a binary/trinary. upvotes, downvotes. i say trinary because it depends. if they tally views, views with no interaction would be a thing too.

now in what ways can you interact with a comment section? remember DNI and think it through with me. comments boost small channels. youll see that person again even if you dont follow them yet. it only makes sense that liking a persons comment means that their bubble and mine overlap and get similar recs.

my fellow linguists. you know that one thought experiment? schrödingers chinese interpreter? the black box thing? we cant tell if the algo gets the reference or just gets who gets the reference.

AI got scary good at language. tom scott did a video just recently. where are we on the algorithm sigmoid curve? what will happen next? how will ai come into this? what are realistic dangers?

[wozzen]

oh yeah quick crash course in Tumblr Stuff since tumblrs weird. if i need to clarify anything or this is too much i can try to break it down into smaller pieces sjfjfk

- reblog stuff, dont just like. theres no algorithm and liking does literally nothing except act as a bookmark. reblogging is the ♻️ button

- if you want your thoughts on a post to be seen or you want to like. talk to someone. reblog. commenting is kinda weird on here and comment sections are a little. hm. most of the time

- you dont need to type anything in a reblog. you can just Reblog

- tagging is weird and no one knows how it works. you can put additional commentary or just stuff you dont think fits in the body of the text in tags if you want, or you can use it for search purposes if you reblog stuff with certain characters or fandoms in it

- if you see someone with either a pfp of a woman or a default icon follow you without liking any of your posts and you go into their blog and its either empty, has a pinned post for donation, or has a bunch of identical posts with links on them, its a bot. block and move on

- if you recieve a an ask asking for donations from a blog youve never interacted with before that has a pinned post asking for donations and only reblogs aside from that, its a bot. block and move on

and tumblr KINDA has an algorithm but its absolute shit. turn off everything but coloured tags, timestamps, and shortening long posts in the "account settings >> dashboard preferences" bc the rest is garbage and will actively make your dashboard worse

week 3 Class A Home

The biggest complaint on the 2019 UI update is that the UI is too clunky, too busy, and had a bigger focus on the community over games.

heres some thoughts from the community

https://www.reddit.com/r/Steam/comments/tisoop/the_amazing_consistency_of_steams_ui/

though i agree with alot of what fallenempyrean said, i do think that their needs to be a bit more consistency,,, imean look at the search bar. thats something that needs to be more consistent.

-----

https://www.reddit.com/r/Steam/comments/enorcn/new_steam_feature_ideas_for_2020/

----

posted 2 years ago

I agree with Cryosphererd_, A lot of changes were made to update the design but for some reasonm there are still alot of old stuff left untouch, especially the community section of steam. maybe thats the reason why theres a lot of inconsistent accross the platform

-----

Example of inconsistency

The Green button. from using steam for a long time i notice the green buttons always had an important position of “activating someting” like a purchase, starting a game, installing a mod

-PURCHASING A GAME

-SUBSCRIBING (INSTALLING) A  MOD

-STARTING A GAME

I guess Green is steams accent colour and is supposed to represent importance. but i dont understand why the “green” button is always different or inconsisten or just a diffrent shade of green

[confetti-critter]

After more Looking I can see the keyboard, the garbled text looks to be yt video titles (it's not near the bottom I misremembered), and theres a "comments" section

Omg and theres a subscribe button near the middle right too

No fuckinggggggg way OK

my phone is old and has things burnt into the screen. I can see the home button and create post button from tumblr at the bottom at all times, and theres a line that perfectly corresponds to the size of a youtube video. Theres also some like garbled text that looks like lots of text overlapping each other near the bottom.

But theres also weird, large text near the top and I could never figure out what it says. But I just now figured it out.

It's the fucking mbmbam logo

[ghastbutlikegay]

i have learned the mobile twitch app does not tell you if streams are intended for mature audiences

[postplus-protest]

Does anyone elses note section look weird? Or have I done something?

I don't remember a update or anything?

Idk if I like it or not. It's like, theres a heart and reblog icon/emoji next to the notes button, and in the actual notes menu, different sections for comments, notes, and likes. It just changed over night?

So far it seems to be a desktop thing that not everyone has yet. I don’t think anyone actually likes it.

Which is kinda funny since tumblr goes on and on about being “different” then decides to straight up copy facebook’s modern like system.

[markets]

so twitter is here now huh

welcome! twitter is hell so glad to have you guys. im doing the same thiing everyone else is doing, tumblr advice for new people under the cut, if you dont feel like reading it all the most important things are in bold (click keep reading):

- since its relevant, if a post is very long use one of those things ^ so that its more comfortable for people scrolling! its the one on the right below. theres no character limit on here so please use this when necessary lol

- reblogging stuff you like is important, especially art and writing! thats really the only way to push content on here and the like to rb ratio on mcytblr tends to be terrible so its very appreciated. if you REALLY like it you can leave nice comments in the reply section or in the tags as well! people appreciate them a lot :] if you want to rb something but dont want it appearing on your blog right now, theres a little arrow next to the post button and if you click on it, you’ll get the option to queue the post, meaning it appears on your blog later (you can adjust exactly when in the queue settings, found under the little profile icon)

- you can choose how private you want to be. ive seen so many people be like “dont say your name. dont say your age. dont make an intro post.” or “put your entire medical history in your carrd” but i feel like you can choose how you want to present yourself on here! you dont have to say anything about yourself if you want, or you can make a fun intro post/carrd with the things you like, or you can just say your name (or moniker), whether youre a minor or not, and pronouns, or anything else! its up to you, and here you dont really have to worry about getting doxxed so. obviously dont give out your address or anything but yeah :]

- ^kind of going off what i just said, if you want friends on here, you can make an intro/looking for mutuals post and put your interests in the tag section! thats how i found lots of my mutuals. honestly just use the tags in general, because its the only way to get your posts out there other than rbs and its much better than speaking into the void. dont put tags unrelated to the post itself though, people dont really like it. tumblr prioritizes the first 5 tags on a post ive heard, so be mindful of that, especially if youre an artist or writer!

- on the subject of tags, if youre going to critique a dsmp character, feel free to do so, just tag it appropriately! for example, if youre making a post that criticizes c!philza, tag it as #c!philza critical. also, please dont tag dsmp/mcyt posts as mine//craft or mine//blr (censoring it so it doesnt appear in the search), people who just want to hear about the game dont appreciate it. also, please dont tag or1gin smp (censoring again) for posts about the hybrid smp with tommy, ranboo, tubbo, etc because an active fandom already uses that tag, use osmp instead :]

- discourse isnt really common on here, but if youre going to talk about it, tag it as #discourse so that people can blacklist it. oh yeah i forgot to talk about that, you can blacklist tags in settings, which is great for triggers or anything you just dont want to see. id suggest blacklisting all forms of whatever the tag is (for example, dont just blacklist #tw gore, blacklist #gore tw, #gore cw, #cw gore, and #gore as well). lots of blogs (like mine) operate on an ask to tag basis, meaning that if you send them an ask asking to tag a specific thing, they will!

- speaking of asks, people love them! ive never met someone who doesnt like getting an ask, regardless of how random it is. if you like someones content or want to be their friend, feel free to send an ask, anonymous or not! i think this goes without saying but just in case, sending anon hate is heavily frowned upon, its kind of a pussy move as well tbh so dont do it

- other than the occasional weirdo mcytblr/dsmpblr is pretty chill, so try not to start fights in main tags for no reason lol please i dont want to have to migrate to linkedin or some shit. if you see something you dont like, the best move is to just block them and move on. literally just block anyone you dont like itll make everything so much more pleasant i promise. however if you do want to start a fight my asks are always open <3333

overall, just dont be an asshole and have fun!! here are some blogs id recommend following: 

mine lol pls give me clout, @relaxxationattack, @cyani07, @night-and-dae, @otteritos, @esclapo, @periwinklemoonlight, @minecraftsz, @timedeo, @poorlydrawndsmp, @tittybitch, @lnniter​​, @girlbossinnit,​ @trickszie​ (if youre on here we’re mutuals and/or i think you’re really cool so hiiii)

[rainbowgod666]

I have my bright (who is literally just Old Bright But Better), theres shaw, and many others i the comment sections of the Site-42 yourube channel

Silence. Complete and total silence fell over the call as both Tubbo and Wilbur tried to process what Tommy was saying. The moment was tense, and loaded with unanswered questions. 

“Fuck…” Wilbur muttered. He didn’t know what else to say. He was in a state of shock. What was he supposed to do? He had just learned that two of his friends were trapped in another dimension, and that said dimension was going to be destroyed because he couldn’t keep his mouth shut. 

“Yeah. I feel like that sums it up pretty well.” Tommy had no idea what he was supposed to be doing, or even feeling. There were so many emotions raging through his mind. Anger at Wilbur for talking to Dream. Relief that Tubbo and Wilbur weren’t screaming at him. Fear that his home was going to be destroyed.

God, he was sick of being afraid. He had felt nothing but fear and terror for a week straight, and thought that he had grown numb to it. He had thought wrong. The raw terror that coursed through his veins in that moment was nothing like he had ever felt before. It was cold and numbing. It made him want to just crawl into his bed and lay there. He felt completely and unbelievably hopeless. At least during the war there had been a small sliver of hope. A tiny beacon of light in all the darkness. It had been what kept him going. Now, there was nothing. He had no way of fighting back. No way of even contacting his friends and seeing if they were safe. He hated it.

“So. What’s the plan?” Tubbo’s voice shook Tommy from his intrusive thoughts. He couldn’t help but feel grateful for Tubbo’s optimism, despite the fact that he knew it was hopeless. “How are we gonna stop him?” 

“What do you mean?” he asked, his voice quiet. 

“We’re not just going to let him kill all those people, right? There's gotta be something we can do. Some way that we can stop him.”

“Tubbo, I-” “No, he’s right.” Will interjected. “We aren’t just going to sit around and do nothing. Besides, if what you said is true, then our Tommy and Dream are stuck there as well. We’re not just going to let them die.” 

“You guys don’t get it, do you…?” Tommy muttered. He knew his friends were trying their best, but the hopelessness of the situation was suffocating. It was like he was standing in a pool of quicksand, slowly being dragged down. Each time he struggled and tried to resist, he was only dragged down farther. He was tired of fighting it. “You can’t stop him. We don’t even know where he is.” Tubbo was silent for a moment. “What if we switched you guys back? We could figure out the command that swapped you in the first place and just run it again.”

“I mean, you can try. But wouldn’t you need Dream’s computer?” 

A sly grin spread across Tubbo’s face. “Who says I need access to his computer to access the server? Just give me a few minutes.” The sound of typing echoed through Tommy’s headphones.

He frowned, confused as to what was going on. “What are you doing?”

“Trying to access the server.” He didn’t offer any more information.

“While he’s doing that, maybe you could tell us more about what happened to you. How did you even end up involved with Dream? From the sounds of it, he's fucking terrifying,” Wilbur asked. He figured that the more they knew about what was going on, the easier it would be to try and solve their issue. 

“I… He used to disappear for really long periods of time. Eventually I got curious. I saw him leaving and tried to follow. He caught me pretty quickly. He… he said that he would kill everyone in L’Manberg if I didn’t go with him and do what he said.”

Wilbur’s eyes narrowed. That didn’t make any sense. Why on earth would Dream force Tommy to go with him if he hadn’t gone far? Something wasn’t adding up. “What-”

“I’M IN!” Tubbo yelled out, cutting off Will’s question. 

“You’re in?” Tommy asked.

“I have access to the server.” Tubbo explained. “Maybe I can try and contact them.”

“Wait, what do you mean you have access to the server?” Wilbur said.

“I have the console open, wait- here.” Tubbo started sharing his screen on Discord. 

A black background filled with white text that neither Wilbur nor Tommy could understand appeared on the screen. It was filled with coordinates and commands that were constantly being updated every couple of seconds. A waterfall of white text was filling Tubbo’s screen. He could see a grayed out command that read ‘/msg TommyInnit hello?’.

“Hey, wait a second,” Wilbur said. “Tubbo’s commands aren’t working.”

“Do you think it could be some sort of activation key?” Tommy asked, but it sounded more like a statement.

“...Exactly. How did you know?” Tubbo asked.

“I think I may know where that is.”

~~~

“What the fuck?” Tommy held the wooden bow in his hands, staring at the blinking light. “Have either of you ever seen this kinda thing before?”

“Why the hell would I know anything? I’ve been here as long as you have,” Dream remarked as he took another drink from the glass bottle. 

“I dunno, maybe because you’re the server owner?”

“Just because I’m the server owner doesn’t mean I know what's happening.” 

“Well, maybe you should.”

Dream only rolled his eyes. Tubbo squirmed a bit. Seeing Dream acting so casual was… unnerving. The lack of a mask only made it ten times worse. Until an hour ago, he had never even seen the man’s face. It was always just the blank mask, cold and emotionless. Seeing the raw emotions on his face was somehow scarier than not seeing them at all. A shudder ran down his spine. 

“Tubbo? Any ideas?” 

Tubbo jumped slightly, caught off guard by the sudden question. “Huh? O-oh! No, I don’t know. Sorry man, I’ve never seen anything like this before.” 

A sigh escaped him as he ran a hand over the leather wrapped grip. The blinking light stared up at him, almost taunting him in a way. That was when he felt it. A small raised section of the grip, right where his finger would sit if he were holding it normally. He frowned. “what the fuck?” 

“What? What is it?” Dream asked quickly. 

“I dunno. It’s just a weird bump…”

“Oh. That's it? It's probably just from the other Tommy making his bow wrong or something.” 

Tubbo shook his head, quick to defend his best friend. “No… Tommy was really good at making weapons. He wouldn’t have done something like that. It’s not like him.” 

Tommy’s brow furrowed as he ran his finger over the strange button. On a whim, he pressed down. 

A scream was torn from his throat as a robotic voice played in his ears. “Hello?” it said. 

“What the fuck?!” 

“Tommy?! Tommy are you ok?! What happened?!” Tubbo was instantly on his feet, trying to check on his friend. His instincts kicked in. Everything that had kept him and his friends alive during the war came rushing back to him as he frantically checked Tommy for any wounds or injuries. Nothing. No visible cuts or bruises. Maybe it was mental? Or a type of potion. Or maybe even- 

“Tubbo, Tubbo! I’m fine! I promise. Just a bit startled.” Tommy’s voice brought his train of thought to an abrupt halt. Tubbo sat back down, his face burning with shame. 

Dream stared at them in concern. “What happened?”

“Did you not hear it?” he furrowed his brow, trying to put the pieces together.

“Hear what?” 

“That weird voice thingy. I pressed the little button and the robot lady started talking.”

“You’re hearing voices now? Are you alright?” 

“Yes, Dream! I’m fine!” he cried out in exasperation. The blinking light on the grip of the bow had gone dark, leaving nothing but a regular wooden bow.

~~~

“How do you even know that they’re in your world?” Wilbur asked. Tubbo had already set the command in the server, and now the three of them were just waiting for some sort of results. Now, they were all just sitting around, trying to get more answers out of Tommy. “I mean, for all we know they could be floating out in the empty void of nothing.”

“No, I’m sure that your Tommy and Dream are in my world. Dream seemed really confident about it. He said something about it already being tested or whatever. 

“Tested? Tested on what?”

“I don’t know. He never told me. All he said was that the test had worked.”

“Alright, I’m just gonna be the one to say it, thats sketchy as fuck.” Tommy couldn’t help but jump. Tubbo had been so quiet while they were talking, he had forgotten that he was even there. “I mean, I get that he’s a sketchy guy, but that's just weird.”

Tommy took a deep breath to try and calm his racing heart. “Yeah… It really is. I learned pretty quickly not to question him though. He was fucking terifying whenever he got asked too many questions.” A shudder ran down his spine as he remembered the blank, emotionless mask. God, he hated that fucking mask. Every night, he was plagued with nightmares about it. 

“Tubbo, I think your command went through” Wilbur said, his voice cutting through the fog that was starting to build in Tommy’s mind. He looked at the screen. Sure enough, the grayed out text was now gone, replaced with a blank text box. 

“Someone must have found the trigger. Hopefully it was your Tommy and Dream. I’m not sure what would happen if someone else managed to get their hands on it.” 

“Either way, it should have only sent the message to Tommy, right?” Tubbo asked.

“I don’t fucking know. I wasn’t allowed anywhere near the console.”

“Probably because you’re a little gremlin child.” Will couldn’t help but make the snide comment. Maybe he just wanted to pretend, if only for a moment that nothing had changed. Maybe he was searching for a way to lighten the mood. He wasn’t sure. 

Either way, the comment earned him a cry of protest. “The fuck is that supposed to mean?!” 

“It means that you are a little gremlin boy. What else would it mean?” Despite his best attempts, he couldn’t quite keep the smile out of his voice.

“Alright, you son of a bitch, you listen here. I could beat your fucking ass in a fight, no questions asked.” Despite the harsh words, Tommy couldn’t help but grin. The friendly banter was familiar to him, and he couldn’t help but be thankful for it. In a world where everything was strange and foreign, it felt nice to have something that stayed consistent. 

“Oh yeah? Prove it”

“Alright. Next time I see you, how about we 1v1? Me versus you.” “Uh, I don’t think that's a really good idea,” Tubbo interjected.

“What? Why not? I’ve beaten him before, I’ll do it again.” Tommy’s voice was dripping with confidence. He may not have been nearly as strong here as he was back in his home world, but he still knew how to fight. Not to mention, he had spent most of the past week trying to get his strength back. 

“I don’t doubt it, it’s just that fighting someone is generally considered not good here”

“Are you serious? That's so lame! Back at home we used to spar all the time!” 

“Yeah, not here. Unless you’re in a fighting style sport, sparring just isn’t something that you do here” 

“Ughhhh, that’s so dumb.” he grumbled.

“So, uh, what’s the plan now?” Tubbo asked. On the screen, another /msg command was pulled up, ready to be sent. The message section itself was blank, but it was clear that Tubbo was itching to try and communicate with his best friend. 

“We just input the command, right? We swap you back, you guys could go home, and we get our Tommy and Dream back. Boom, problem solved.” Wilbur couldn’t help but feel slightly confused. Hadn’t that been the plan from the start? 

“I uh… I don’t know the command that he used,” Tommy admitted. 

“Fuck.”  The three sat in silence, trying to figure out what to do. Tommy couldn’t help but feel like hopelessness starting to drag him down again, pulling him down into the pit of quicksand. 

“What if we brought them to the console? That way they could actually respond and we might be able to come up with some sort of plan?” Tubbo suggested. 

He weighed his options. On one hand, it was the best bet they had. Hell, he was about 99 percent sure that Dream would have left some sort of clue as to what the command was, if only because he enjoyed the thrill of the danger. On the other, who knew what kind of trap Dream had set up. Knowing him, he would have expected them to do exactly this. No. No he couldn’t think like that. This was their one chance. It was his only chance at saving his home, at saving his friends. 

Swallowing his fear, he nodded. “Yeah. Alright, that sounds good.” 

~~~

“What the fuck?! Why is it blinking again?!” The small red light was back, blinking up at the blonde teenager annoyingly. 

“Press the button again?��� Dream offered helpfully. 

“What? No! I’m not pressing that fucking button again! You press it if you’re so curious!” he tossed the bow onto the table carelessly, the loud noise making Tubbo flinch. 

Dream grabbed the weapon and looked over it. “Alright, maybe I will. Where did you say it was?” 

“On the grip, right next to the little light. It's really small though, you have to feel it.” 

“Got it!” with a soft click, Dream pressed down on the button. 

Instantly, the robotic voice echoed through Tommy’s mind once more. The voice was cold and metallic, with no emotion whatsoever. It reminded Tommy of pretty much every computer generated voice he had ever heard, only this time, it echoed through his skull. He could feel his teeth vibrating from the sheer volume of it. His eyes shook, causing the world to vibrate and jitter. It reminded him of when the bell had been rung, only this time he was the only one could hear it. 

“Hey Tommy, it's Tubbo. This other Tommy just told me and Wilbur everything that’s been going on. Don’t worry, we’re gonna get you out of there, alright? Apparently the other Dream is going to really fuck everything up if we don’t stop him. And by that I mean he’s going to delete the server and most likely kill all of you and I really don’t want that to happen. So we’re gonna stop it!”

The voice continued for a bit, explaining what the plan was and where he and Dream needed to go, and Tommy did his best to keep track of Tubbo’s directions. “... Anyways, we really miss you man. I swear, we’re gonna figure something out and get you guys home. Yours truly, big T.” The voice stopped, and Tommy blinked. Tears pricked at his eyes.

He didn’t really understand what was going on, but he did understand one thing: there was hope. He might be able to go home. Tubbo and Wilbur were going to bring them home.

Well now that I’ve played through investigations 1+2 and have gotten a few more spoilers, this needs revisions. Here’s the original post if you haven’t read it yet!

Disclaimer: lot of guesses could be wrong, please don’t correct me if they are, trying to avoid spoilers. this is just for fun and for me to laugh at when im done.

feel free to ask questions in the comments!

Apollo Justice: - 5′5, roughly the same height as me =) - 20 i think, maybe a bit younger? younger than phoenix was in the first game - sad (they’re all sad) - defense attorney (in training?) - don’t know a lot about him actually - is at least friends with phoenix, maybe being mentored by him, maybe he only knows phoenix cause he’s friends with trucy - trucy calls him polly i think which is adorable

Trucy Wright: - listen i know nothing about her but i already love her - her design is so cute - so freaking cute - she’s magicccc!!!!!!!!!!!!!! - i think she’s like 17 - related to phoenix in some way but i’m not sure how and it just gets more confusing the more i think about it she’s gotta be like a cousin or something

Athena Cykes: - i think i know less about athena now actually - she looks really cool though - i heard she might be a psychologist?? maybe not???? - i think she has a pet robot and if not she deserves one - still not sure if she’s a lawyer tho - could not tell you any of her relationships but i hope she has lots of friends =)

Simon Blackquill or Blackwell someone corrected me and I forgot I’m sorry - 80% sure he’s a prosocutor - this is the guy that probably has a sword

The girl with purple hair: - she seems cool - maybe she likes birds - i hope theres lots of her i like her braid

Gavin: - cool hair - has a guitar - may or may not have a brother - a bunch of people ship him with Apollo so thats a thing, maybe they know each other - probably a prosocutor

Phoenix: - he’s sad now - loses his badge, unclear if he gets it back - wright and co law offices gets renamed to wright anything agency so maybe he did that or maybe it was trucy - had to have talked to ema at some point to get that button from her unless they’re mass produced or something - is he playable? i do not know - someone in the crunchyroll comment section refered to him as hobo phoenix and i don’t know if thats standard or just something this one comment calls him but ill mention it anyway

Maya: I’m really concerned about Maya okay I’ve heard a lot about all the other characters but not about Maya so I’m worried she won’t be there or she got murdered or something and that would be really bad. I like Maya a lot she better be there. Also haven’t heard a lot about pearl...

Other Characters:

- So that gold hair person i talked about last time, that was sebastian. I don’t know if he’ll be in the other games (i hope so he just started getting character development) but yeah that was him. - im certain that clown girl commited murder - if ema doesn’t come back i will be sad - I doubt kay will be there but it would make me really happy if she was - franziska? pls come back

Other Info: - i thought the apollo justice games were in like,,, 2045 but it’s only 2025 i think. - i think edgeworth is in the 5th game - the meiji era game is a spin off, which at least makes the timeline more clear i was so ready to accept that time travel was just a thing - dual destinies is rated m for some reason so im preparing for trucy or apollo to just get like,, murdered or something i don’t know but i think it’ll be dark

and that’s all i’ve got for now!! planning to start playing on friday, see ya then!

A hc of stan being a teacher or professor (smut) -🐙

yes i have thought about this so much, like an unhealthy amount, oh my god (nsfw warning)

ok so sure, theres prof!stan 

but.... think about TA!stan

like, early-mid 20′s grad student who is the teacher’s assistant for one of your lectures

and ur in his recitation

(recitations - like study groups but u get a grade and its where u turn in most homework and u review the class content, they're taught by the TAs with smaller groups of students which makes it more intimate)

so..... ;)

i feel like it’d be a calc course

 or a history lecture 

something like that

and ur first class w him... u almost die

bc ta’s arent required to be super professional like profs

 but stan still is

wearing rly sexy button downs and ahh fuck

he is so hot 

so u def call him sir as a joke once u get familiar with each other

other ppl in the class laugh when u do it but when its just u and stan, 

 it makes him blush

a lot

and u notice 

so u stare at him during recitations and the lectures

he stares back a lot, sometimes w a smirk

that kills u

going to his office hours where hes much more relaxed

when he starts flirting, u pick up on it but ur not sure what it means....

u just know u like it

he can’t keep his eyes off of u 

and its very very distracting for him

u start turning in ur classwork with hearts around ur name, little notes written for him on the corners or in the comments section

ur so smart, too, and so interested in the content

he hates that he thinks the notes are adorable and makes him so excited to grade ur stuff

he also hates how badly he wants to bend you over your desk in the old classroom u use for recitations

one day, he’s had it 

bc you brought a lollipop to class and sucked on it in front of him like you weren't both adults

but he couldn't tear his eyes from ur lips as he imagined his cock between them

then hes grading ur fucking paper and on the margins u wrote “i hope this is perfect for you sir” 

that makes him choke as hes grading

u meet his eyes immediately at the noise and he can’t help himself as he sends you a smirk

so he writes “you could try harder ;)” on your paper, and as soon as he drops it off on your desk he regrets it

bc what if u told someone?

but u come to his office hours that day

and u wait ur time in line until u walk in and stan’s sitting on the desk chair

as u talk, his eyes flicker to ur exposed skin and ur curves

ur eyes linger on his neck, hair, lips, and occasionally his crotch and he catches it

makes him hard

while hes helping u with homework he comes to the other side of the desk

and then u bring up the feedback he wrote on ur paper in lecture that day

ur like “well how do i try harder, sir?”

then u say u have a few ideas but most would get u in trouble

thats so hot to him

and so he cannot help but kiss u after u say that

and then he immediately panics

bc WTF HE KISSED ONE OF HIS STUDENTS

but u grab his collar and kiss him back 

hes shocked but the adrenaline makes him nudge u against the desk and a hand to slip up ur thigh and under ur skirt

and ur moans that u try to keep quiet are so hot he almost cuts instantly

ur the same way tho bc the way he groans “y/n” just.... wow

long story short 

your rly hot TA fucks u on the desk of ur professor’s office while people wait to meet with him right outside

its so hot

 im not saying it becomes a regular thing

but thats exactly what im saying

[what-if-doctor-who-was-yuri-yaoi]

okay first never tell people ur a twitter refugee on here they judge (it's like one of 3 things tho so theres not much being judged)

second: reblogs

okay so what ive done here is a reblog, its basically a post attached to the underside of your post, and you can reblog reblogs too! the only difference is that i can't add a poll here but im still limited to 10 images, which contribute to the 30 (?) total image limit

the tags of a post/reblog are used for the following

sorting

searching (like #hermitcraft or #aroace)

answering someone's questions from the last tags (like #prev theres no such thing as a bad post) (use prev to reference the last tags) (if ur answering)

copying funny tags from someone (like #omg its a dick #<- prev tags)

and comments that dont add to the content (ie: #eating a microwave #love this #omfg i will devour your soul this is so fucking good)

if youre adding images, image ids, videos, transcripts, a funny joke, or you thought someone elses tags deserve peer review (being screenshoted and added to a main section) then put that in the content!!

content stays in *all* reblogs throughout the chain, unless someone clicks a little x button to remove *all* rbs

tags dont stay in the next persons post unless you copy them or screenshot them!!

Twitter update. my tl works. i can view mny profile.However i am being silenced. there are multiple arts and i amnot allowed to comment on them. Please let me bathe these artists in my love elon
