#for all the 200 bots following me

[scriptistired]

Stupid fucking bird giving me nightmares about him dying and it's my fault and then sing to me the moment I lift his cage fabric and jumping on me whenever I am at jumpable distance and screaming when I leave the room and get mad when I take too long and share meals and naps and fucking everything-

I hate him.

He gives me life.

[acruelerdonut]

Well it finally happened..

So first off THANK YOU for 200 followers!

Honestly never thought it could happen with my erratic and irregular posting (and constant fandom switching) 😅 but nevertheless thank you everyone <3

As promised in a previous post, to celebrate I'll be uploading a character palette and you guys can send me any character! It can be from fandoms I've drawn before or even just a random little guy, just pick a palette and I'll give it a go to sketch them out! Once again:

and have a nice day!

[allthegothihopgirls]

[kuroakikitsune]

Creates an artwork that took ages but I'm really proud of it. Its a subject that a lot of my friends and followers like. Only a few people like it. Most of my friends have seen it and, nothing... I know I did a good job and it's pretty but this makes me feel like my art isn't good enough. It hurts more that my friends and mutals aren't liking it, more than the numbers.

@centrally-unplanned said: As someone who doesn't follow law too closely I individually hear a lot about his decisions being unsupported and ill-considered, sort of a "just isn't that good at the law" compared to Alito's "he sure has some hot takes", but as someone who only reads opinions as-needed for other non-legal topics I ofc don't hold that opinion myself, just things you hear. I see the distinction you are drawing, which makes sense!

first of all, i am, how you say, crossfaded right now, second of all, i have barely read any of his opinions, third of all, i am extremely not a lawyer, fourth of all i am a known ~will baude simp and he might be characterized as such wrt thomas tho i would not say so. furthermore, some qualifications i would like to make: I am not trying to defend his opinions in the criminal justice sphere, I think he's overreacting to a trend among the Dems that was dead for 20-30 years, was temporarily resurrected, and appears to have been quashed (see: "victimology"); this especially goes for capital cases, I disagree with him on the necessary and proper marijuana case Randy Barnett argued, I also think that he overreaches when he posits the powers of the Presidency (esp the exclusive and *non-overridable* powers of the Presidency) via Article II and welcome much more scholarship on this before various aspects of this are set in stone (see state secrets cases and many many others), as well as the qualifications on the other post, and so many more and yet furthermore, I reject argumentum ad Bostock, textualism before original public meaning and original legal meaning before "original public meaning", and I'm anti-Borkian on the 9th amendment, and probably so many other things AND YET.

i think that he has done a real service to law by demonstrating how one can try to struggle and do originalism. if it had been just him, or just scalia, people would have dismissed it as eccentrism, an odd quirk. but with *both* of them on the court, duelling and concurring to their heart's content, people took it seriously! and now we see gorsuch, kavanaugh, and barrett are each trying to show to the country that *we can do it*. we can *actually* live under constitutional government. i especially appreciate him disagreeing very publicly with the supposedly settled precedent of the Slaughterhouse Cases. i also think that contrasting New York etc. v. Bruen (authored by Thomas) with Dobbs (Alito), one sees a much sharper view of how to provide a determinate view of ascertaining rights, rights supported by text and the history of the founding etc., and less susceptible to the critique by libs that originalism is just "yadda yadda i got five votes, here's some bullshit that's sorta related that happened in the past, here's some social conservative moralizing, fuck you!". There's some more that I could go on, but I'm not sure what would be relevant to you (or any readers of this blog).

If I could offer some hypotheses as to why I think such a belief may have been propagated (and may Allah forgive me for attempting "realism" and possible assertions of bad faith), although this is a bit before my time, I believe a lot of people who are more Democrat inclined were burned hard by Bush v. Gore, and the concurrence by Rehnquist, joined by Scalia and Thomas only rubbed salt on that by suggesting (quite rightfully imo, but thankfully cabined in Moore v. Harper (2023)) that a state legislature could declare by law how that state shall delegate its electors to the Electoral College before the election, superseding the voters, and *possibly* (but now no longer as per Moore v Harper) superseding a state's constitution and the state courts (I shall refrain from speaking as to whether there could be any such emotion from the confirmation hearing and Anita Bryant). Also, I don't think that people really "got" what Alito's deal was like at his confirmation, or until possibly even a decade later when it became so obvious that Alito wasn't just a wingnut libertarian, he was a cranky sonofabitch much further to the right than John Roberts, who I have heard the media focused their fire on much more, allegedly (source: insinuations on FedSoc podcasts) because of his view on the amendments to the Voting RIghts Act during his time in the Reagan admin (I personally think there's a quite humorous analogy between the initial reactions to Gorsuch vs Kavanaugh, Josh Blackman iirc has said that Kav probably wouldn't have gotten in had not the Senate majority leadership felt it had to go "nuclear" for Gorsuch). Also, a lot of my evidence for my respect for Justice Thomas comes from the questions that he would ask during oral arguments, which he only began doing recently, because of, I believe, first the change in argumentative procedure during the remote COVID days, and then the outcry from the general listening public that his questions were much more than welcome -- and I separately respect him for his reason why he didn't ask questions much before: he didn't like interrupting people for his own purposes.

Even beyond this, I have *much* hatred for Alito, who I have never seen an opinion I've liked from, and from listening to 2+ years of oral arguments, I have *very rarely* heard an argument where Alito asked better questions/made better use of his time than Thomas, and based on a frankly very limited sample of opinions and shadow docket stuff, I don't think I've ever found Thomas saying something or agreeing with something that Alito didn't also agree with, when I found it outrageous. Also, Alito just generally strikes me as at least a bit of a political hack (a very broad umbrella that also covers Kagan, Roberts, Kavanaugh, Barrett, and maybe Thomas, Jackson, and Sotomayor, and maybe maybe Gorsuch). Also also, he seems to have very little to say about abstract issues that aren't also political (this being something I quite respect the *actual* originalists, such as they are (Thomas and Gorsuch imo), for), see the previously referred to opinion about the govt acq'd entity that is Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac as a point for Thomas. Also also also, as sort of argued above, his opinion in Dobbs is just so *meh* if not straightforwardly disappointing in Dobbs compared to Bruen. Alsox3.5, I think that he brings "turnabout is fair play" to a harmful level of "tu quoque -- it seems that if you've ever been a hypocrite in a way that he disagrees with, you may be forced, just for that reason, to suffer his wrath! But *really*, putting aside my terrible fears that eventually Alito & Barrett can get the votes endorsing *truly* theocratic rule (and putting aside as well that I think that this has a 0.25-1%ish likelihood of happening, maybe up to 5% if strategical political assassinations are normalized), my vociferous objection to Alito comes from a comment of his during oral argument in either SEC v Cochran or Axon v FTC, where he suggested that the eventual winner, trying to get the ability to challenge the constitutionality of the administrative so-called "judge" (if i'm remembering the cases right) via their allegedly unconstitutional removal restrictions in a federal district court before submitting to/requiring finalization of possibly interminable agency process, could have gotten what they were looking for via a writ of mandamus, which is supposed to be *extraordinary relief* to correct an injury under *clearly established law* (the supposed "clearly established law" that Alito suggested was Seila Law, which was itself suggested as being a drasting break from how things have been, and I think, having not read that opinion, it was not necessarily settled how the decision should impact the SEC and FTC esp given Humphrey's Executor). I could dismiss this as a one-off comment, were he not also similarly arguing on the shadow docket (stays, injunctions, etc.) in either motions granted or the newly-so-called "dissentals" (dissents from denials of X where X may be an injunction, a grant of certiorari, etc.), in a similar way, for such hasty new application of very strong changes to the law, and i have not heard a good theory or explanation for this -- in fact, when i've heard will baude forced to take a position on these things, iirc he has described it as "not great", and I have heard very little/no discussion of this from my feed of FedSoc's YT channel!

To prevent it very simply, I think that Thomas offers a vision of judging that, while ofc susceptible to critique and improvement (like all human reasoning), in my view, offers analytical tools that can be used regardless of partisanship and my main issue with him is that I don't think he goes far enough -- I really cannot wait to hear his ideas on the original meaning of the 14th amendment. Alito, however, what does he have to offer? Fear of being a chump? Advanced game theory? I do not expect to weep if he is easily forgotten.

The Starlight.

I started this project for the purpose of creation and exploration. The AU wasn't just going to be an AU, but its own story spun on the original plot. It was going to be nothing more but something I quietly post on Tumblr while people go about their business.

Never did I think it'd catch fire like this. Almost 200 people are following me now. To most, that's something to scoff at. To me? It means so much. Even if some of them or bots, or people who sometimes poke their head in to see if I've posted something.

200 people is a big deal to me.

This was supposed to be a comfort project, but now I've sparked all y'alls interests just by showing a cute little orange goober running around "Vrr-ing" at others because he wants a mother, or having the Hollows run about doing things with others.

I'm so happy that you all have found my creativity and world building so interesting. I hope to continue to keep inspiring and showing you my stories.

A Girl, Her Guns, and Her Ghoul

Cooper Howard x Nora [ Set before the show's events ]

Cooper 'The Ghoul' Howard has followed dead-end lead to dead-end lead across the American Wasteland. He's been compiling a map; determined to find each and every damn vault until he gets in one that has the answers he needs.

But there's been one fatal flaw to his pilgrimage: he's been locked out of most e'ry fuckin' goddamned one.

After striking out of luck in D.C., not being able to locate one singular salvageable pip-boy in the whole of the Capital Wasteland, he now finds himself in Boston just as one lonesome, unlucky Vaultie crosses his path... and she appears to be wearin' just the thing he needs.

Chapter 1: Gonna Find Me a Bluebird Ao3 Link Here

Intro below the cut...

The Ghoul

Climbing all them stairs up to the roof top, on the edge of whichever ruined city he’d found himself in, didn’t help Cooper Howard with the geographical difficulties he’d been having. 

Sure, he was lost. But everyones lost in this damned wasteland.

Instead, his new vantage point allowed his gun-metal grey eyes to find a far better objective.

There was someone in the distance, down the street. 

That wasn’t uncommon, of course, but in his initial assessment- picking between feed or foe, one little detail caught his eye. The Ghoul’s already taut skin stretched further as he smirked at the approaching silhouette. The figure of some critter was being illuminated by a faint radiation-green glow from their wrist. 

Bing-o!

Even better, they were walking towards him- he didn’t even have to go hunting. Like a bullet, he corrected that thought: as if he hadn’t been on one long hunting trip, only spanning 200 odd years or so. 

Cooper reigned in on his buck fever; his target was still too far for shooting so he waited and watched, hang-fire; planning his pinch.  

As the shape got nearer an’ clearer Cooper came to understand this mark was some silly filly. 

He groaned, looking to the darkening sludge of a sky, she was close enough now that he could see she was sporting his fucking colours. Blue and yellow: Wearing a practically good-as-new vault suit. Made sense, she must’ve got the Pip-Boy from its sour source. But why the fuck had she burrowed out? 

Tilting his head, he watched as a trio of Ferals sprung up and cut dirt towards her. Maybe they’d do his work for him, save him some slugs. Teach the lost little lamb a lesson about wandering on your lonesome unprepared. 

To his great surprise, she was slick as greased lightning with her draw. One after another, only needing one bullet each, they all fell limp to the floor before they could even dream of touching her. 

The Ghoul raised his brow and let out a low whistle. So, the filly can shoot.

helllllooooooo this is very random but I wanted to share it with you:

I was checking the activity "follower" section this morning and I apparently had 482 followers. That seemed really weird to me bc I've been sitting at about 200 for months. so I decided to look at the list. what I found was HUNDREDS of default-pfp, untitled, BOTS. and I'm not kidding, after going through the entire list and blocking all of the bots (it took forever), I was back down to 175 normal humans. so if we do some math rq, that gives me 307 bots. 307.

moral of the story is pls check your follower count if you don't like tumblr bots :D

I will do that now at least once a week, I'm sure.

[silent-words]

I've noticed that I have 200 followers now. I should be happy, but all I'm thinking is "Probably half of them are bots", "I'm not a real blogger, I'm just posting stupid things", "I'm not writing enough fanfiction to be considered a fanfic writer".

Maybe it's just depression and anxiety, but every time I post something I think that people will start unfollowing and blocking me.
