I am going to start fucking yelling rn

it's snooze tumblr live Monday for me, yeah? I go to my settings, do the thing, leave my settings, and now

THIS FUCKING THING ⤵️

WILL NOT GO AWAY. IT USED TO!!! every week I could snooze tumblr live and my little bar would once again know peace. but not today. no. not even when I closed the app in the hopes that maybe it just needed a reload. but no. this is just what we're doing now.

and the worst thing. the WORST thing. is that fucking NEW flag marker there. even reluctantly going to that tab did not get rid of it. why would you do this. whwy. what did I ever do to you tumbkr why must you hurt me this way

edit: it has been 6 hours and we're over 1k notes, I am muting notifications on this so I can exist in peace ✌🏻

[jackalope-with-a-pen]

.....oops. the last time I made a post here was in June. 😂😅

anyway.

It's super exciting that a lot of the pulp tags on ao3 are canonized now (I did finally go back to my published fic and add some tags I was missing from @tapestryoftrauma's very helpful tag guide like I've been meaning to, lol) and I've been thinking about my Radiant Sunsets blorbos since ep 4 aired so I think I'm gonna get back to working on that series!

My current wip, Keys To The Press And Keys To The Door, is at 2.7k and I would like to finish it so I can get to writing the other parts I'm really excited for. I have thoughts and ideas and a lot of notes thrown together because this series has officially upgraded from my notes app to its own growing doc. 🤩

okay i can't answer that message directly bc it would ruin the weed number and thats illegal

it is one of my goals to reread hs this year (and to actually finish it lmao) so don't you fret about that. (time to renew my love for the strider boys 🤭🤭)

also don't all clowns like homestuck or are all homestuck enjoyers inherently clowns? sort of a chicken and the egg situation imho.

Summary:

“Ava hands out affection like it requires no deliberation, as generously as the kindly street hawker a few blocks down from the hospital plops a gratuitously hefty scoop of crispy pork lard on Beatrice’s weekly 车仔面 despite her insistence that it’s more cholesterol than anyone should be consuming in a day, let alone a single meal.”

or: surgeons au, except it’s specifically the universe of a 2019 hong kong drama with multiple mentions of 车仔面 (cart noodles)

CALL FOR ACTION:

at the time of writing, israeli airstrikes have killed dozens in rafah, in the southern gaza strip. rafah is the sole crossing point between the gaza strip and egypt, which is not allowing in palestinian refugees, and rafah is where civilians have gone after being instructed by israeli forces to head south to avoid israeli airstrikes. rafah, now the most densely populated area in the world, is being bombed. this is not self defence — this is not about hamas, nor is it about 7th october. this is murder. this is ethnic cleansing. this is genocide, plain and clear.

here are some ways you can help innocent palestinian civilians:

donate an esim. this helps people in gaza continue to share their experiences with people like you and me. this helps in fighting against the oppression of their voices and prevents authorities from being able to sweep this under a rug and keep the truth hidden.

donate to the palestinian red crescent society (prcs). prcs is part of the international red cross and red crescent movement and is providing humanitarian aid to palestinians. you can find out more about them here. you can also read their emergency appeal launched on 12th december 2023 here.

if it’s safe for you to do so, attend a protest. speak up; use your voice — even raising awareness on social media can make a difference. don’t let the world forget that those in power are allowing this to happen, and that we are all witnesses.

[princepandemonium]

I wish pics didn't have to be so big on tumblr but here we are.

Since I'm going on a business trip soon I had to get luggage and a luggage tag. A very good friend was nice enough to use their engraver to put a custom design on the tag so ofc its clown themed. 🤡🤡🤡

[b0lu0mi]

and what if i write a spidey ava silva au...

[transmasc-joan-of-arc]

Fellow queer folks, especially younger queer folks; you are not owed proof of anybody's identity.

Queer identity is not always visible. It isn't always obvious. It isn't always straightforward. More often than not, queer identities have always overlapped and existed in shades of gray.

If somebody else's identity doesn't make sense, that's your problem. Not theirs.

You do not have the right to the personal lives and internal machinations of complete strangers in the internet.

If somebody is bisexual and lesbian it's none of your fucking business. They're queer.

If somebody is aroace and cishet it's none of your fucking business. They're queer.

If somebody is intersex and cisgender it's none of your fucking business. They're queer.

If somebody is closeted it's none of your business. If they can't transition it's none of your business. If they're gender non conforming it's none of your business.

You are not the queen of the queers. You do not get to police others queer identities. You're being -phobic.

First Year Shenanigans - June Jabbers

Feat. Vizzie (MC) and Cory (OC) + Sebeppy (pining staaage bb)

I've recently put up a post about mini hc's regarding the dorms, if you need a little more context as to where they're gonna study you can read here but uh. this ran away from me and became a sebeppy ficlet lsdfkjshdkfjsdf

--------------------------------------------------------

"You can't tell us you know a COOL place to study and then not take us there."

Ace took a bite of his sandwich, not bothering to finish his bite as he continued speaking with his mouth full. "Studying's boring enough as it is, if you've got info, you've gotta spill."

The rest of the table cringed a bit at Ace's lack of manners, as Cory grinned back at him.

"It's gonna cost ya~ I can't take just ANYBODY there, y'know? Besides, we have to time it right." Cory took a bite of his salad, trying to give himself pause for dramatic effect, but Epel spoke up in his planned silence instead. Which was fine, it meant he had the intrigue of more than just the most annoying person at the table.

"Time it right for what? What's that supposed to mean?"

"For Floyd."

Deuce's eyes widened a bit, one hand coming up to cover his mouth a bit as he spoke, showing a bit more decorum than his roommate.

"You want us to gamble with Floyd's presence?"

Ace laughed, elbowing Deuce. "What, you scared? Floyd's not that scary, he's a pretty stand up guy all things considered." He turned his attention back to Cory, grinning and waving his fork at him a bit. "Though I admit, it's more exciting than just studying at Ramshackle or in the library."

"Maybe for you, everyone else here would be fine without playing with fire." Jack shook his head a bit. "Besides, studying isn't meant to be fun, just productive. And you're just going to to get distracted by whatever else is going on in a new environment instead of buckling down and focusing."

Ace groaned and mocked Jack slightly with his facial expression and his hand imitating him talking, before huffing. "Just so you know, I don't really need to study. I'm happy with the grades I get without it. It's the rest of your dumba-"

"No." Vizzie had leaned across the table, muffling Ace's sentence by stuffing at least half of what was left of his sandwich in his mouth, her other hand holding Ortho's head in a bit of an awkward, but protective position.

She sat back down with a huff, apologizing softly to Ortho and shooting Ace a glare as he struggled to choke down his food.

"First of all, you know better than to cuss in front of Ortho-"

"I've heard worse from Idia..."

"Well I'll talk to Idia later too- Secondly, academics aren't everything, and the way testing is done is inaccurate to real life. At least not until next year when we start having more practical assessments than just regurgitating memorized information. That being said, I think going to this secret study space you found could be fun...even if the first time we go the likelihood of us getting anything down is low to null." She managed a small smile at Cory, who in turn beamed.

"Then you guys come meet me in the Hall of Mirrors after school, okay? I'll show you where it is in Octavinelle."

Epel piped up. "I'll bring Sebek. He's um...getting some supplementary study material from Crewel." His head dipped a bit as he spoke, trying to hide the rising heat to his cheeks.

A few knowing glances were exchanged amongst each other, but Viz just grinned and kicked his shin lightly to get his attention.

"Tell him you want him there."

Ace rolled his eyes and imitated puking, while Deuce nodded along and Cory gave Viz a small shove, causing the two of them to giggle as Epel's cheeks turned a little more red than pink.

"It ain't nothin' like that! But it would be rude if we didn't invite him at all."

"It ain't nothin' like that huh..." Jack repeated his words back to him, over-enunciating, giving him a bit of a shit-eating smile as he side-eyed his classmate, taking another bite of food.

"OH NOT YOU TOO!! Y'can't be in on all this Jack yer supposed to be on ma side, you're in MA class, y'see how Sebek an' I get on the MOST, we're just friends!"

Jack finished his food leisurely, setting his sandwich down and looking at Epel properly, grinning.

"Yeah, exactly. Sebek and I are closer to the back of the class when we get joint ones because of our height, I can see you every time you turn around to glance back at him. I can see the way you look at him-"

"Shut up!!"

Jack's smile only got wider "and the way Sebek's heartbeat picks up when he notices."

Cory nodded along, finishing his bite and excited to jump in. "It's true! And just yesterday in home ec, Sebek made these really pretty apple tarts. He let the class have all but four of them - three for his usual Diasomnia crowd, and the otherrrrr-"

Jack finished his sentence for him, still grinning a mile wide, his tail wagging a mile a minute.

"He came to pick up Epel from class with it, excited to show it off to him. You should have seen their faces when they realized I saw the entire exchange."

Epel was flushed and defeated, laying his head down on the table so as to hide his face from everyone. "You guys suck. You ALL suck."

The table erupted in laughter, not at Epel per ce, but just how in denial the lavender-haired boy and his crush BOTH were.

Viz was the first to settle down, gently kicking his shin from across the table. She looked rather amused when he begrudingly met her eyes, a slightly smug smile on her face as she nodded slightly in his direction.

"Better look alive, prince charming's on his way."

Epel visibly went through about 10 emotions in the span of two seconds before he sat up and tried to rub his face, forcing himself to not turn around and look at his FRIEND.

Ace looked rather bored at this point, flinging peas at Riddle as discreetly as he could from across the cafeteria. Everyone else was fully engaged as Sebek made his way to the table, piles of papers in hand. He stepped over the bench they were sitting on, in between Jack and Epel, even as uncomfortably close as he was to both classmates for a moment, before Jack scooched over a bit rolling his eyes at the look Sebek shot him. Ortho noticed, giggling a bit in response as Sebek finally sat down.

Epel was turned looking to Deuce, who gave him a smile and a thumbs up to indicate he was no longer as red as he was before, so he could properly face Sebek with his own smile.

But before either of them could properly greet each other, both Viz and Cory bubbled with small giggles, causing Epel to shoot them a dirty look, and Sebek looking baffled.

Grim finally rejoined the table, proudly carrying his third helping of lunch as he slid it onto the bench between Viz and Cory, hopped up, then slid it onto the table, looking in between them confused and slightly mad.

"Myrah! You guys can't be havin' all the fun conversations when I'm not around! C'mon, tell me what happened? What's the joke??"

Ortho giggled a bit and leaned forward so he could see Grim's face.

"We simply find the dynamics of Epel and Sebek's relationship amusing. Even now, I can detect temperature changes in both of them, and like Jack said, both their heart rates are speeding up and syncing to each other...as is their breathing! Science suggests this happens to people who have been in a long-term, loving relationship with each other or people that are in love! Isn't that cool?!"

Grim just blinks, the rest of the table, (minus Ace) waiting for the cat's reaction.

He looks at Ortho, then between Sebek and Epel, then up at Vizzie like a toddler.

"They're not already datin'?"
