weeps what do I have to do to get rid of that communities tab at the bottom of the app 。°(°.◜ᯅ◝°)°。
#ignore me I'm being dramatic#i had been invited to a community thing almost two months ago and even though i didn't accept the invite the communities tab didn't go away#it's not actually a huge deal#i just sometimes see it then get pissed and try to download an older APK in hopes it'll go away but it hasn't#maybe I'm not going back far enough in the APKs? idk#it's not the end of the world if i can't get rid of it. it really isn't. i just hate it being there when it isn't something i use#same principle as when tumblr tried to fuckin make tumblr live a thing#I don't want it i didn't order it#Cyanide speaks

I’m sure Dumat being defeated the same year andraste was born means nothing
I’m sure this has nothing to do with the fact that andrastes mother was part of a tribe who helped the grey wardens fight and defeat dumat the same year she was born, meaning that she could have been a fetus affected by the taint in the proximity of a dying arch demon
And the fact that nobody knows which grey warden killed dumat, as seven wardens died from injuries from his death throes, and therefore we cannot actually identify a warden who absorbed his soul, means nothing
And I’m sure it is a complete coincidence that andraste had dreams and visions of the being later referred to as the maker her whole life, and behaved strangely, talking about hearing lost voices and seeing strange auras. That absolutely doesn’t sound like anyone else we know
#dragon age#hi I don’t know if these are hot takes anymore or if I’m actually going insane#this could still work with the maker being mythal#(as in the thing that spoke to andraste. claims unverified)#there’s a theory of an 8th old god struck from record#so there’s still enough old gods to account for mythal being dumat#(the 8th old god is associated with sea monsters so that would be Ghilan’nain if that were the case. which is probably one of the ones we#see escaping)#what doesn’t add up is only two escape but there would be three left if this were the case#unless corypheus’ dragon WAS an arch demon and was razikale or Lusacan (which I believe are most likely dirthamen and elgar’nan)#which seem to be the two candidates for the other escaped evanuris#so things could add up#in terms of mythal learning about the tainted fetus stuff she could have done that observing#but it would make sense for her to learn from practice#I’ve been feeling like there’s a huge piece missing in the deal with her and the evanuris because she talks about being denied justice#and like. solas locked up the evanuris for a good few thousand years. it might not be her idea of perfect justice but surely it would be an#attempt#but what if that’s not the betrayal she’s talking about#what if the betrayal is that solas accidentally locked her in there too#dragon age theory#tagging these so I can find them

The illusion of choosing a path when it had been carved out from the start
It was out of love, though. For you.
You can walk out if you want.

A lot of people think my autism is “getting better” but I think a lot of it has to do with being an adult and being able to make my own decisions. I used to have frequent meltdowns and shutdowns and on the outside seemed more “obviously” autistic. But I’m 19 now, so I have a lot more say in my life. I only buy one brand of socks. I only own 2 types of shoes. All of my clothes are the exact same. I only eat what *I* want to eat and think feels safe. I can drive and can choose when to leave for appointments and obligations. If I were still a child and forced to wear socks with seams in the toes or clothes that fit me wrong or foods that trigger my sensory issues or have my routine thrown off by other people, I would have A LOT more issues. But since I’m an adult, I have control over most aspects of my life. I’m not “less autistic” now, I just have more free will and know myself well enough to avoid triggers.
#autism is a neurodevelopmental condition#you’re born with it#it can’t ‘get better’#BUT!!!!!!#and this is a huge but#you CAN learn ways to deal with it better!!!!#you can learn how to cope#and how to work with autism instead of fighting it#let me tell you. if someone forced me to eat peas right now….. I would scream and cry and throw up from a sensory issues meltdown#but I’m an adult so I just. don’t buy or use peas.#and my mom knows me well enough that if she makes a dinner with peas#she just pulls a portion out for me before adding the peas#actually autistic#actually autism#autism#autistic#neurodivergent

"The world's coral reefs are close to 25 percent larger than we thought. By using satellite images, machine learning and on-ground knowledge from a global network of people living and working on coral reefs, we found an extra 64,000 square kilometers (24,700 square miles) of coral reefs – an area the size of Ireland.
That brings the total size of the planet's shallow reefs (meaning 0-20 meters deep) to 348,000 square kilometers – the size of Germany. This figure represents whole coral reef ecosystems, ranging from sandy-bottomed lagoons with a little coral, to coral rubble flats, to living walls of coral.
Within this 348,000 km² of coral is 80,000 km² where there's a hard bottom – rocks rather than sand. These areas are likely to be home to significant amounts of coral – the places snorkelers and scuba divers most like to visit.
You might wonder why we're finding this out now. Didn't we already know where the world's reefs are?
Previously, we've had to pull data from many different sources, which made it harder to pin down the extent of coral reefs with certainty. But now we have high resolution satellite data covering the entire world – and are able to see reefs as deep as 30 meters down.
Pictured: Geomorphic mapping (left) compared to new reef extent (red shading, right image) in the northern Great Barrier Reef.
[AKA: All the stuff in red on that map is coral reef we did not realize existed!! Coral reefs cover so much more territory than we thought! And that's just one example. (From northern Queensland)]
We coupled this with direct observations and records of coral reefs from over 400 individuals and organizations in countries with coral reefs from all regions, such as the Maldives, Cuba, and Australia.
To produce the maps, we used machine learning techniques to chew through 100 trillion pixels from the Sentinel-2 and Planet Dove CubeSat satellites to make accurate predictions about where coral is – and is not. The team worked with almost 500 researchers and collaborators to make the maps.
The result: the world's first comprehensive map of coral reefs extent, and their composition, produced through the Allen Coral Atlas. [You can see the interactive maps yourself at the link!]
The maps are already proving their worth. Reef management agencies around the world are using them to plan and assess conservation work and threats to reefs."

nickel and balloon would be so much more interesting if people explored the way nickel became everything awful that balloon used to be but so much worse ironically all in the name of "protecting" everyone from that history repeating. and not softboy tsundere yaoi or whatever is going on in those tags rn
#meeple.txt#inanimate insanity#iii they could so easily make me hate you.#nickloon arc was the worst thing to ever come out of iii#unnecessarily long and stupid and hilariously poorly written#i actually feel insane seeing how many people just accept it at face value as The Canon#i know it Is canon but i dont care. Heart❤️#we need to bring back the fandom energy of collectively rejecting the shitty writing#nickloon arc did not happen its ok. take my hand#in my heart nickel digs himself a deeper hole of denying he did any wrong and everyone at most tolerates him#fits his character built up by s2 so much better and parallels other characters too#somewhere deep in his head i feel like he knows hes wrong. but by god it should not have been that easy to ''fix'' him#hes going to deny it until it kills him bc that means facing any regret or deeper feelings he doesnt wanna deal with#and that means admitting he made mistakes which is a huge blow to his ego#and his Cool Tough Leader personality#hes not gonna give that up so easily#and i dont think its in character for him to change within the timeframe of the show tbh . at least with the time they have left now#thats like a post canon Maybe to me#the only way ill accept it really

"kill the part of you that cringes" is all well and good but you also have to kill the part of you that feels the need to explain every flaw of a thing before you can say you enjoy it lest it be assumed that you are unaware of or supporting of it and get judged for liking it
#you have to be able to like a thing if others dont like it#and you have to be able to accept that some people will dislike you because you like those things#have a spine about the things you care about and dont make a huge deal about how it should be Actually Okay when someone disagrees#patch me through to palaven command

can i be fr for a minute?? sending abuse to people online for holding different views than you is not activism and in fact actively hurts your cause. most people are not extreme in their viewpoints, you can give them a new perspective if you're willing to spend some time explaining shit. if someone is saying something you disagree with and you rush in there to condescend to them and call them disgusting and subhuman and dont even TRY to explain calmly why their views are harmful, they're going to shut you out instantly and double down on their views.
most people are simply genuinely ignorant to the issues they're talking about - they just pick their views up from the news and the world around them and express opinions because that's what every person does. if you run in there and tell them they're scum for it, what then? if someone does that to you, are you going to think "maybe i should do some research" or are you going to think "this person is an asshole, im blocking them." a lot of you think you're activists and then refuse to do any kind of actual WORK to support your cause.
#this is not about the isr*el thing even tho thats obviously a huge issue rn#its just a pattern ive observed online#im not saying you have to be kind to people who oppress you dont twist my words#but if youre trying to support any cause and you think calling people names is going to help#youre a fucking idiot lol#people call themelves activists and pro-X cause because they called their opposition dirty c*nts online#how the hell is that meant to help anyone? theyre just going to retreat into their propaganda chambers because you proved what the leaders#of those spaces have been telling them#you can obvs block people if you dont want to deal w them but thats a neutral action. sending abuse harms ur cause.#text#like educating ignorant people is hard work! yeah! its also the entire fucking point of activisim#and if you think its too much effort then just stop pretending you give a shit tbh#like my parents managed to change our neighbour's very xenophobic stance on migrants with a calm conversation#some people will listen and some wont and shes not exactly going out to protests for migrants rights but shes not hostile anymore#and a lot of yall think that isnt good enough but let me tell you it IS good because these things take time!#unlearning things is MUCH harder than learning them in the first place and a lot of people grew up in environments that taught them#very discriminatory and conservative views and its actually not their fault. and its hard to educate yourself differently on something you#have no idea is not true. where do you start w that?

GUYS WE FINALLY HAVE SFTH LONGFORM CHARACTER TAGS ON AO3!! :D
(we still don't have any canon relationship tags as far as I know but this is still pretty cool!)
#shoot from the hip#sfth fanfiction#these definitely aren't all of them but they were the ones that i was able to find#it's annoying me a little that jemima's canon tag isn't jemima steven but ah well#it's not a huge deal since “jemima steven” redirects to the canon tag anyways#also I guess her canon name is jemima jeffrey now (cause andre beetroot referred to her as such in the patreon podcast) so??#I'm sure the relationship tags will be wrangled very soon we just gotta wait for it :]#I should probably make a new ao3 tagging guide now that there are more canon tags#but I'd like to wait until there are some canon relationship tags before making it just so I won't have to make two separate posts for it#anyways I'm so happy that we have canon character tags now!!!#especially cause I've been a little annoyed by the lack of canon tags for a while now lol#(ever since I first joined the fandom actually I've been annoyed about it for a while now)#does anyone else care about this? probably not#but *I* care about this so I'm gonna talk about it

Behold, a rudimentary in-progress outline for my most complicated WIP yet (click for readable quality). The fic's called "Red Robin: Scales of Justice" and is both a fully canon-compliant continuation of the Red Robin comic from the 2000s, and an AU where Tim discovers that his patrilineal part of the family are all drakes that were cursed into human form by a wizard many centuries ago. Rather than a standard chapter-by-chapter plan, I've structured this fic around "volumes," much like volumes of a comic book, with each one consisting of a few chapters. The current volume count is 27, but there will definitely be more (though I doubt more than 35 total). The drake concept comes from @polarspaz, though the story is my own (insofar as is possible with a canon-compliant continuation of a comic).
#the actual Scrivener doc goes into way more detail than this outline does#this is so goddamn complicated#i mean. I'm trying to tackle *everything* left unresolved by Red Robin *and* incorporate and tell stories about a huge fundamental change#to Tim's status quo.#and I'm dealing with stuff from RR that was made into a cliffhanger by other comics (eg. Pru)!#but I'm loving it so far. It's a real challenge.#Surfing the Darker Web is currently planned to be the finale#hopefully that doesn’t have to change.#baambastic works#my works#my stuff#ficblr#fanfiction#fanfic#tim drake#dc red robin#red robin#red robin 2009#batman#dc#dc comics#🐍

dp x dc prompt #25
Vlad is usually pretty bad at dealing with humans on a personal level. good thing cats aren’t people.
after his plans for the Fentons fell through, Vlad put all his energy into his cat, Maddie. soon, cats took over his personal life and he had a small army of furry companions. but since there were only so many cats he could take care of himself, he started funding animal shelters. and the most underfunded shelters happened to be in one Gotham city.
He didn’t plan on the Wayne child also volunteering undercover at shelters, or beginning to see him as more of a son. Maybe it just took someone just as bad at dealing with people as him to start feeling human again.
or- the redeemed animal shelter volunteer Vlad that nobody but my brain asked for.
#danny phantom#danny fenton#dc x dp#crossover#dc universe#writing prompt#dp x dc#dp x dc crossover#writing#vlad plasmius#damian wayne#crazy cat man and the child that would adopt all the animals#and they were friends#just two characters bonding over animals being easier to deal with than people#astounding levels of social awkwardness#vlad tries but badly#damian also tries but not well#maddie the cat and titus get along like a house on fire#vlad’s entire house is just a huge cat sanctuary#you wouldn’t think any person actually lives there#the sad man with all the cats
