Him and fun dead kid (Sammy) when they're 17ish?

Really quick quick doodle I made before school but yeah!!!! They end up taking over the red army when Tord dies. It's only reasonable since they were both raised by the army.

Pau didn't like having ANOTHER kid around, (Sam was taken by them when they were clearing zombies from the town. He was like idk 5 maybe?) But Tord really didn't want to leave any children dead. He had a awful childhood so if he can help a kid....hesss probably gonna do it.

He doesn't have the time though, so they weren't raised by him. Just by random soldiers. They're a bit screwed up but hey!! At least they're alive right?

Fave eddzworld bg character? Also happy birthday!!!!

RACK!!!

I have a lot of made up lore for him so </3 he's pretty much my oc

He might have an official name but no clue.

THANK YOU!!!!

[BITTENSBOROUGH RA BASE ANNOUNCEMENT UPDATE]

The generals have been found! Unfortunately they are injured, but are alive and unbitten.

However, if anyone sees a child wearing ASDFLand Merchandise firing indiscriminately into the horde, leave him be.

That child has seen some shit. Let him do his thing.

Red Leader said he'll be fine.

I love doing this so much, Even though it was extremely long

[scilou-mdr]

I always thought it was for "ASDFLand Kid" or "Ak" referring to AK-47

What does AK stand for again i know it's the name for the lil kid with the lollipop and gun from fun dead but what do the letters mean again? Is it just "Arcade Kid"?

Adding if it's okay :

As a transmasc who uses "they/Them" I suddenly became "he/ him" when an ex friend was mad at me for no longer putting up with his gaslighting transphobia & general bullying I got to hear about it from the other they /Them trans person who he was trying to misgender me to while concern trolling about my mental health to pressure them into making me talk to him after I went NC... They KEPT correcting him; but apparently I had committed the crime of not forgiving him/ going nc& my punishment was that I was now considered too "crazy" to be allowed my pronouns 🤦

this aliceavizandum tweet has never ever ever stopped being true & when you realise this it will turn you into the god damn joker (from the movie joker)

[electricboogaloosstuff]

I love the apothecary diaries dynamics. I mean where else can I get scenes where they go :

Lakan : Can I get my daughter back ?

Jinshi : Ew no

Lakan : ugh can you aks her ?

Jinshi : Sure one sec

Jinshi : She said no

Child of the red earth

"sa kalagitnaan ng aking braso, manatili ka lang o aking sinta"

...

The fire crackled low, the dead have been buried and weapons have been kept, clasped hands retreat into the borders of darkwood, a small flame their only light in the darkness, they would have to put it out soon, lest they be caught

"Adam" a ewe muses, few scratches litter her legs, though they pale in comparison to her other half's whom wrap around hers protectively "You worry too much, I've already checked, there is none out there"

"for now" the Ram replies, though they rather not be referred as such "who knows when they'll return-"

she merely chuckles "oh hush, when they do return, I promise we will be alright"

the winds silence any protest that remains in Adam's throat, a tiny bleat resonates from the bundle in her arms their precious star, their little light

"how do you know that?" they whisper

"I just do" comes that sly tone "this little one wont see nary the throes of war nor hear any beat of those silken drums, that I promise you"

...

...

They have their doubts, warily looking off at the fire, the clash of metal still rings in their ears..

soft hands encircle theirs, and warmth leans against their chest

"trust me"

...

...

"alright"

1. 7 good things humanity did to combat climate change in 2024

“The UK […] closed its final coal power plant in October. [… In India,] the share of power provided by coal dropped below 50% for the first time since the 1960s. [… A non-profit] has provided solar energy to more than 6,000 of the poorest Nigerians.”

2. California Voters Said Yes to Prop 4, a Win for Birds, People, and Our Shared Future

“[…] Prop 4 will direct millions of dollars for water conservation and habitat restoration [… and] includes a requirement that at least 40% of its funding go to lower-income and climate-vulnerable communities.”

3. This Pennsylvania school is saving big with solar and EV school buses

“Steelton-Highspire’s solar arrangement will save it about $3.6 million over the next 20 years. As for the electric school buses, Steelton-Highspire is one of thousands of districts able to access federal rebates from a $5 billion program created by the 2021 Bipartisan Infrastructure Law.”

4. Autism Speaks Canada shuts down in January. Good.

“As Canada’s autistic-led advocacy group […] we are relieved that Autism Speaks Canada will be shutting down in January of 2025. This is an opportunity for autistics and our families to collaborate locally to build new, neuro-affirming spaces and projects.” [If you don’t know why this is a good thing, please click here]

5. LA Zoo hatches first-ever perentie lizards, one of largest lizard species in the world

“The LA Zoo is one of only three institutions accredited by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums that have successfully reproduced them[….] Adult perentie lizards can reach more than 8 feet (2.4 meters) in length and can weigh more than 40 pounds (18 kilograms), the zoo said.”

6. Research reveals an inexpensive fix for California's struggling wildflowers

“[… R]aking [“dead, invasive grasses”] is decidedly less labor-intensive and more ecologically friendly [than other management techniques…, but doing so] increased plant diversity overall, reducing invasive grasses […] while increasing both native and exotic wildflowers[….]”

7. A new EV battery could last more than 8 times longer, travel farther

“[… A] typical battery lasts 2,400 cycles, while the new battery lasted more than 20,000 cycles. [… Used batteries could be repurposed] for grid storage on wind and solar farms, the study notes.”

8. Women who are homeless in Boston find safe space and care at 'HER Saturday'

“Women can get lots of other care on the spot — from sick visits and basic health screenings to Pap smears and contraception. [… They also come for] "The makeup, the snacking and the girl talks. And ... picking out a new outfit," said Pinky Valentine [“a homeless transgender woman”].”

9. ‘It absolutely took off’: five UK biodiversity success stories

“[…N]ew methods are emerging to preserve, improve and generate new habitat and, in many cases, attract back or reintroduce species not seen for decades. After a nudge, ecosystems are often doing much of the heavy work themselves.“

10. Personalized gifts really do mean that little bit more to your loved ones, says research

“Research has also shown that receivers of personalized gifts are more likely to take care of them. […] In this sense, gift-giving can be not just an emotional exchange, but also a more sustainable one. A carefully preserved [personalised] gift avoids waste and brings long-term satisfaction.”

[seriouslysam8]

I’ve noticed Hinny is becoming less popular, and Drarry and Harmione shippers are taking over. I think this is because Drarry and Harmione art/fics are everywhere…. even in hinny tags. There’s so many hinny artist that have switched to Drarry, I unfollowed at least 5 of them. It’s literally the worst ships ever for Harry. If we stuck to canon characteristics, Harry would probably beat Draco to death because of all the stupid shit that comes out of his mouth. With Hermione he would probably find a way to AK himself so she would just shut the fuck up and tell him how he should be living his life, then Sirius and James would kill him in the afterlife for even considering Hermione. Lily would just be sitting there like ‘I can’t believe these fuckers think Hermione is like me… Ew.’

Wait, really? Hinny people have switched to Drarry??? That’s a thing? Ew!

Makes me think I need to get fucking writing! How many one-shots of you think I could get done in a week if that’s all I focused on??

But I also think readers have to do their part. I’ve noticed Jegulus and Wolfstar and Dramione fandoms all have a high level of engagement. People are always reblogging and leaving reviews and engaging in art/stories. I noticed the Hinny fandom has less engagement it seems. I can see how people would leave this ship for another if there’s more engagement for a different ship.

A fandom only thrives and survives if there’s engagement. People will stop writing stories and making art if they think it’s not appreciated because what’s the point of putting in all that work into something for free if people aren’t even going to take the time to engage with it?

Just food for thought. I always harp on leaving reviews and engaging (not just kudos), because it does motivate authors/artists. So, readers/viewers have to do their part as well if they want more Hinny content and not have their fav Hinny creators leave.
