Humans of the Great Shift #4

Inspired by TG Swapping Caps series Humans of the Great Shift

When the Great Shift happened, I was making coffee in my tiny apartment, wearing my favorite pink pajama set. One blink, one cosmic jolt, and suddenly—boom—I was staring into a mirror in someone else’s bathroom. But not just anyone’s.

I recognized the tattoos instantly. My neighbor, Ethan. The guy from 4B with the thick-framed glasses, the scruffy beard, and the habit of leaving his laundry in the shared washer too long. And now, I was him.

I raised a trembling hand to my face—his face. Dark hair, stubbled jaw, a strong nose. My chest was broad, muscular, and covered in dark hair. And my stomach… was rounder than I was used to. Lowering my gaze, I felt my breath hitch. My usual petite frame was gone, replaced by Ethan’s taller, thicker body.

“What the hell?” I muttered, except the voice that came out was deep and gruff.

Panic surged. I ran to the living room and turned on the TV, quickly flipping through the channels. A flood of news reports from around the world confirmed my worst fear. The entire world had swapped bodies. Then there was a knock at the door.

“Hello?” a voice—my voice—called.

I opened the door, and there she was—me. My body. My wide, green eyes looking up at me in shock.

“Oh my God,” she whispered. “We need to fix this.”

My Post The Answer Descent Into Some Sort of Madness

[PUT INTO PLACE, TIED DOWN AND ARRANGED, AND IS NEVER THE SAME, AGAIN.]<-listen to my favorite songs. VAMPIRES ARE WONDERFUL ARENT THEY. THE FLESH IS SO MUCH MORE DURABLE. SO MUCH STRETCHIER THAN HUMANS. THE STRESS DOESNT KILL A VAMPIRE THE SAME WAY IT DOES A HUMAN. YOU CAN TAKE THEM APART THREAD BY THREAD AND LEAVE THEM WIDE AWAKE WITHOUT WORRY OF THE BRAINMATTER SPOILING UNDER VINEGARY AGONY.

Nurse Mituna?! Do you trust her....

One of these days I would love to read your meta on the last scene in Je Souhaite.

No pressure 😊

Will add that to the list!

I'm on a mini break (and there's another meta project brewing on the back burner); but will get to this as soon as I can because it sounds fun. :DDDD

Genuinely spending 2 hours a day just prepping the fiber, RIP

To be fair at least a third of that time is pushing the executive function button so I can start the next nest. They're unfortunately one of those activities that has enough steps that each one feels like it's own separate thing, so I have to Start Task each damn time. So there's a 5-10 minute cooldown between them.

Got 9 nests, I think (on top), middle is some fleece that's already had a lot of locks picked out so it's kind of jumbled, bottom is combing waste.

When I love a character I make them Jewish. It brings me joy

You get a religion! And you get a religion! And you get a bar mitzvah! YAYAYYAYAYAYAYYA

V9C3

What sites are y’all using? I had to go through like 3 before finding one that would work :/ either way, react time yeehaw

Post Ep: this is essentially a mental breakdown of an episode and I hated every minute of it

I think crwby put more attention into the trees than the story

Weiss for the love of cheese and crackers stop with the fucking wAcKy animations I am begging

Why does this little red shite sound so shitty? I wanna shove him in a locker and give him swirlies. Also wow an entitled dramatic flamboyant prince. What a totally unique idea. I am in utter disbelief at such creativity. How can we ever thank our crwby overlords for such a great character.

I unpause the video and immediately need to kill this stupid shitheel. I cannot believe we are getting all the most annoying characters in a single fucking volume. At this point I’d be willing to endure another fucking Jaundice arc if it meant never hearing the prince or Little ever again

I am losing my goddamn mind every 3 seconds. I’m going to start chanting latin and climbing up the walls and spewing pea soup everywhere

I’m going to go full Blaire Witch. The last y’all are ever going to hear of me is when the forest rangers find my shitty recorder at the torn apart campsite and the last thing you’ll ever hear is me going “Where is the fucking plot what are the themes what is this tone someone help me”

Ruby is red. Shouldn’t that like. Factor in at all? Dude’s so upset at the color green but is totally chill with yellow, black, and blue? Is it because green is the opposite of red?

So it’s a shitty chess game with some elements of wizards chess. Did these motherfuckers really pluck inspiration from Harry fucking Potter? Right down to the kids being pieces??? Are y’all for fucking real??

Wait a goddamn minute the pieces being advanced upon can fight back? What sense does that fucking make? Unless the framing is really awful and I can’t see the space the pieces are fighting over? It doesn’t make a whole lot of sense when Ruby’s calling out moves but the shitlord isn’t

And now it’s a full out assault? What is this game and why does it suck?

Normally I don’t notice music due to my auditory issues but the song coming out of nowhere with a jazz bit was so weird I missed like half the battle

Also RUBY YOU ARE HUGE SWEEP THE FUCKING BOARD DUMBASS

Wow .2 seconds of despair followed by an all out victory. Riveting

Ah the cat monstrosity. The first instance of gradients and it’s so atrocious

NOW LITTLE RECOGNIZES THE FUCKING CAT FUCK THIS GODDAMN MOUSE

Wait wtf Neo fell at the same time as Ruby right? Why is she just now shooting starred into wonderland. Why does she immediately waste energy shifting into Ruby and Cinder? Why would she even want to?

And why build up the twitch creature if it’s just going to be ganked off screen? I assume it’s going to be making a return considering the design but also why didn’t they have it do anything before being Neo’d?

At the very least this hints that Jaune won’t be appearing until later, if crwby can remember their own rules for 5 minutes. We might even be Jaune free a few more episodes! Took Neo 3 to show up so hopefully Jaune won’t make it til 6

Humans of the Great Shift #1

Inspired by TG Swapping Caps series Humans of the Great shift

The Great Shift was chaos incarnate. One moment, I was in my small, cozy kitchen, icing a cake for my granddaughter’s birthday. The next, I was staring at an unfamiliar reflection through the lenses of multiple cameras—a tall, chiseled young man in a tuxedo.

It’s been six months since the Great Shift. I still haven’t figured out how to knot a tie properly, but I’ve mastered walking in these impossibly long legs. My name is still Mary to me, though strangers call me “Ethan” now. My voice doesn’t carry the warmth of sixty years of motherhood, but instead, it resonates with the smooth confidence of youth.

I miss the quiet simplicity of my old life—the way my hands told stories of gardening, baking, and a thousand hugs. But this new body carries a strength I never knew I could possess. I’ve started jogging, something my aching knees never allowed before. I’ve learned to savor the sharp taste of espresso instead of tea.

The world is still adjusting. People stare at my “new self” when I absentmindedly hum an old Sinatra tune or smile too kindly. They don’t know that behind these unfamiliar eyes, I’m still me—Mary. Just in someone else’s skin.

Rebecca Gordon: King Donald

Or Facing the Rise of Fascism Like Fools for Freedom This past weekend my partner and I got together with a group of friends. We’ve been meeting every six weeks or so since 1982. Originally, this group of lesbians convened to talk about sex: what we were doing, what we wanted to do, what we fantasized about doing. But you know how it is with any relationship. Over time, it can come to embrace so…

do you always have to feel like your boss hates you or can you have jobs where it doesn't feel like that

I am going to fist fight this fucking lottery terminal

[and-fishing-equipment]

i've started reading tvl and no amount of posts telling me there's a "huge tonal shift" could have prepared me for this HUGE TONAL SHIFT this is the funniest fucking thing i've ever read it genuinely goes like:

louis, narrator of iwtv: as i wandered the streets of paris, i wished most of all for death. i had called to god, to satan, anyone, to find meaning in it all. but for an evil creature such as myself there is no place in this world. there can be no love where this evil lies. it was as though a veil separated me from all that could be good and righteous. i did not deserve to love and be loved in return, not by claudia, lestat, armand. to attempt it would be a sisyphean task, a fools tale. and yet...... the need for hole from armand was so great. greater was only the need for........ living human blood.

lestat, narrator of tvl: hey guys, my name is lestat, you may know me because i'm really hot and sexy. english isn't my first language so sorry if i make any mistakes!! okay here's my story: after rotting beneath the earth for decades, my hot and sexy body has finally risen from the ground. i used to be depressed, but now i'm slutting it up again in the 20th century! first thing i did was get some (hot and sexy) new clothes and then wore them while riding my (hot and sexy) motorcycle and listening to bach on my sony walkman. while i was watching this super niche indie film (you've probably not heard of it) "apocalypse now" i realized that i'm so evil that i shouldn't exist. but then i realized what could make me deserve to live on this planet: rock n roll music.
