[chaoticbuggybitchboy]

Everyone should send me asks about things that you think are true about deserts because there seem to be a lot of weird misconceptions and I know a lot of them, but absolutely send me stuff I’ll vet whether it’s true for some, all, or most deserts or if that’s not a Thing. And I’ll compile it into a publicly accessible doc as a sort of quick Q&A type thing for anyone who’s confused about deserts.

(This is because so many works of fiction seem to think that the Sahara is the only desert in the world) (btw the gobi desert also does that super intense temperature fluctuation thing)

idc what anyone says that video from 9/11 of the muzak playing in the courtyard while shit's on fire and falling off the towers makes me cry like a fucking baby

[fictionallyinparadise]

Codsworth calling me "my love" is so cute like.

"Good morning my love!"

"How are you today, my love?"

LIKE....in his voice makes it so sweet and the fact that he's a sweet robo-boyfriend makes it even sweeter???? cannot explain why.

"Propose," for @bamsara

HI YOUR DOODLES INSPIRED ME HERE'S A POETRY ATTACK. rambling below the cut.

At first, the death waltz is a misstep.

A sickening skeletal crack, a shape of an invisible scythe.

Sincerity is too kind a lie, but His sacrosanct

Protection (you think)

Lets you rise once more.

Death cannot keep you, but you would let Him

If he welcomes you.

You only believe what He thinks you should know.

The flames engulf you after the smoke does,

But your soul has nearly shed its corpse when you see them.

You stand in the vast chain-bound sanctuary and breathe

Fully (your lungs don’t remember being choked).

It is the first of a fitful of

Scorn and surprises and bone fingertips pressed against your skin.

He helps you to your feet.

Your heart should not beat here. In the infiniteness of your bosom it awakens.

The very semblance of the jagged-bare flesh

Encircling your neck is an intimacy in itself.

The blissful torment of the swordsman’s blade

Releases (so close to peril)

And He is already in your periphery.

Call it duty. Call it love.

Choose it as the last decision you’ll ever make.

Fate’s a tarot pull. You draw your card with eyes sealed shut.

You are a disgraced, depraved approximation of a person.

The chill of his embrace is warmer than the hands

That build the bonfire. It is in the name of

Someone (you shan’t say who)

And in the ashes of your grief your reflection

Stares back with three eyes.

The temptation to burn yourself seeps out,

Ichor-like. You don’t die tonight, not yet.

A careful drip of poison. The aftertaste of iron

In your mouth: communion seeping into your own goblet.

A moonshine moment of annihilation, however brief

Before (infectious, echoing, comforting)

You bleed out. You hope you die today.

He hopes you die today. It’s an

Ambrosial veil between you.

You slip beneath it with a sweet hello.

It’s never quite intentional until

The myths surrounding Him fall away.

The secrets you keep are shared, kept safe

Until (your reunion, this time, was not quite an accident)

They are intertwined: you are inescapably

Lonely and in your separate spheres

You vie for dominance. It’s a furious, bloodsoaked rendezvous.

It was always He who waited, but you’ll be patient.

He feels you in every dream. You

Stop time with your voices.

It’s His frustration melting away

With your kisses (you’re not there yet)

And makes Him yours, in freedom,

Dependent on nothing nobody you himself

The fetters are invisible but you hear them

Rattling every time your heart beats.

Your breath need not return anymore so you

Relearn to dodge the aim of an arrow, the pierce of a blade.

Living is foul, a promise half-hidden,

Desperate. (It lingers on your tongue.)

Death bound you together. You know how to die.

You have to remind yourself that heaven lays barren.

It will not hold you

Should Death keep you apart.

Get appreciated idiot /pos /lh

So, this was inspired by this post, which was super wholesome and sweet, but I couldn't write this without infusing it with the urgency and anxiety and sense of danger that looms over The Rehabilitation of Death. Bits and pieces of references to your AU are sprinkled in throughout. I hope you (and my readers and your readers as well) enjoy picking apart the themes here!

I actually wrote this live on stream last night! I made sure none of my friends were streaming before I started because I didn't want to miss anyone if someone was already live, but then you started streaming like 10 minutes later and I was like FUCK now I wanna watch you. But after a couple of hours on my new extra-hard CotL save (OUCH), I switched to writing and just... hoped you wouldn't pop in because I wanted this to be a surprise. For most of the writing part of the stream this poem was titled "IF SARA STOPS STREAMING SEND ME A WARNING."

Anyway, we don't usually get to talk more than a couple times per week because we both have Shit To Do, but you are SO FUN to be around and I am so so glad I met you!! Your friendship is a blessing and your creativity is a gift.

I am willing to give you or anyone else on tumblr the skills and advice the helped me get my dream job

the idea of working for TEK a few months ago would just be a fantasy

my background in education is English. I learned what I know now on my own and only by random chance.

This is why I am so critical of the linux commumity on tumblr.

They're tagging themselves as -official when they can't provide casual end user support.

They're entirely too horny to be in this sphere. Computers and linux should not be about how much you want to fuck/be fucked by X

it will deter end users

This is very cool that you will help other tumblr users with this stuff; i may actually take you up on this at some point :3

(my tone here is /g, /pos, /nm, /lh)

I do, however, kind of disagree with the other points. I think that for any other social media it's correct, twt or fb does not have the culture to make these sorts of parody accounts viable or not-counter-productive to increasing the linux market share. But I don't think that tumblr is the same.

I think that tumblr does. I think the tumblr community has always been this somewhat ephemeral yet perpetual inside joke culture where almost every user is in-the-know, and new users to the joke are able generally able to catch on quickly to it due to their general understanding of they way tumblr communities operate.

IMO, it's a somewhat quick pipeline of:

\> find first "x-official" blog -> assume it's real -> see them horny posting about xenia -> infer that RH corporate would probably not approve of such a blog

I can appreciate that it might be intimidating to seek out help as a new linux user, and especially a new linux & tumblr user, but looking through these blogs, you do see them helping out people ^^. heck, my last post was helping someone getting wayland working on an nvidia system.

The main goal of these blogs is not to be a legitimate CS service to general end-users. they aren't affiliated with the software their blog is named after, so in many cases they *cant*. The goal is instead to foster a community around linux, creating a general network of blogs of the various FOSS projects that they enjoy.

I think that final sentiment, of these blogs detering end users, is most likely counter to their actual effect on end users who are considering switching to linux.

We all know a lot of tumblr is 20 or 30 something year olds who have just stuck around since ~2012ish, and new users to tumblr join with pre-existing knowledge of the culture and platform. Almost anyone coming across these blogs are going to be people who can see the "in" joke, and acclimate. I do highly doubt that a random facebook mom who's son convinced her to install mint on her old laptop would find tumblr, find a -official blog, scroll through said blog, and be detered from using mint.

The other side of this is that any tumblr users who come across these blogs, be it with an inkling of desire to switch to linux or not, will see a vibrant and active community that fits very well into the tumblr community. They remember, or have heard of, the amtrac & OSHA blogs, and are therefore probably aware that this is a pre-existing meme on here.

In all likelyhood, this will probably further incentivize them to make the switch, as they would be more attracted to a community of their peers over a community of redditors telling them to read the arch wiki repeatedly

I can, on the other hand, definitely see that for people who have difficulties with parsing tone, and especially sarcasm, would have trouble with this. TBH, I have these difficulties (hence when I was speaking to you yesterday I used the /unjerk indicator, as I couldn't tell what the tone of the conversation was), and so it took me a little while of being in this weird "I'm 99% sure these *aren't* official, but what if?". I have been there forI think that maybe being more transparent with the fact that the blogs are parodies is probably important. I'm guilty of this, and after i post this, i'll add it to my bio.

!!YAPPING AHEAD!!

Fleshing out my own interpretation of Unpleasant some more lol

Copypaste of what I wrote in a discord server:

"What if unpleasant is some sort of ever shifting being. Not physically but it is so deeply connected to the internet and the meme zeitgeist that it doesn't have a direct personality Its parasitic, almost, just leeching its identity from however the online sphere is at the moment and it nested itself into infectes appartment as a direct contrast to him, someone stuck in a long gone era of the internet."

This then lead me to create this, originally a shitpost but I think I kind of cooked with the monologue, idk, I like writing stuff like this.

I'm also aware that unpleasant is generally mute/doesn't want to speak but if my version does talk (I like the "It's mewing 24/7" explanation a lot so my version does that too) I feel like it would reveal itself to be a lot smarter and more well spoken than you'd expect. So this drawing is basically unpleasant speaking to infected for the first time which freaks him tf out.

Also it would sound like the TTS that V1 from ultrakill uses

TL;DR: My unpleasant interpretation is a fucked up AI mannequin thing that likes to psychologically torture infected

and just as a reminder these two are FUCKING ROBLOX CHARACTERS that look like THIS canonically /lh

[riacte]

there was a comment on the hermitcraft reddit asking if hbomb had collected false before (like she was the first !!) (i think)

and that’s made me realise how niche this side of hermitcraft is haha /lh

LMAOOO??? HBOMB NINETY FOUR???? the one who made the reddit post back in aug 2020??? PLEASE. FALSE is the one H first noticed let’s be real here

Arguably my fav H - Hermit dynamic is H and False. He believed in her before he even knew her lmao. This is the elite mentor-underdog dynamic and it’s facts sorry.

I think this means we need to start talking about Blue Bats a lot more often. Except it keeps on being brought up in Twitch chats and the chatters all go “mcc9 blue 💙” so it’s definitely still in circulation.

HC Reddit is full of shit. MCC Reddit can and will readily recite the Blue9 lore. HC Reddit is literally embarrassing lmao

It’s quite sad really because H is tied to False Supremacy and Blue Bats so I guess all of that is falling out of fashion now 💔 it’s gonna be four years since MCC9 help

Also sad that it’s niche now because Blue9 (etc) was the rallying cry for us Hermit MCC watchers and it shows that some people really do not give a shit about False, not even the basic surface level knowledge that the other spheres are aware of, they care so little that they ignore one of her most famous achievements skdjdhhfnejfjd

[teehee-vibes]

In the Pokémon XY(Z) anime, I think that Tierno should have been the Pokémon performer out of the Kalos friends. I think he should have been Serena’s rival, instead of or with Shauna.

On one hand, Shauna’s great and fine, ya know? She was alright! But just Fine. I would like her more if she was there more.

On the other hand, Tierno’s personality is dancer. He is literally a DANCERRRRR. His Pokémon are DANCERS. It was his entire thing in the games (the source material) and even in the anime because of his battling style. And I get it, girl power and stuff. I loved the female solidarity in the master class, ya know? Girls supporting girls, even when competing, which is why I sorta would still like Shauna there (or give the other girls attention, god bless /lh). But as far fetched and/or impossible as it is for the anipoke writers (/lh again), I would have adored seeing a boy in that setting. A boy unabashedly passionate about performing in a sphere that’s female dominated and being just as supportive and positive. Being totally unashamed. I think that would be so cool.

It would have made his crush make more sense too, honestly, or just add some more charm to it. It wasn’t hindering the show because it didn’t come up often, just hindered his character because it came up when he was there. But imagine it developed as she grew into being a confident performer. Don’t even make the crush reciprocated, it still could have been cuter this way.

AND WHILE IM AT IT, because I just thought of this while writing, if I were in charge of the writing with my current mindset and understanding: Change up the counterparts for the trios.

Make Tierno and Serena each others’ counterparts, and change the others along with it.

I think it’s safe to say Trevor and Clemont were kinda~ counterparts, just the least developed of them (brainiacs, both seem to have some type of anxiety, not neurotypical IN THE SLIGHTEST, etc.). I think that Trevor and Ash could have been fun. Trevor was the member of the Kalos rival trio to master Mega Evolution, and he also battled in the League. In the games, he has a crisis about his own strength and doubts his abilities as a trainer because he has end goals different from other trainers. I just KNOW Ash would have been the best rival and friend to help him through that. Trevor has an affinity for taking photographs of Pokémon, pointing out the differences and rarities in them, and seeking out the legendaries Ash has met and battled before. And Ash, mister nomad with such love for the world around him, I think, would find a lot of interest in that and support it. Plus, Trevor has Charizard. Ash’s ace used to be Charizard. They could have bonded, they could have been incredible.

And that leaves Clemont and Shauna. And what do ya know?? Clemont and Shauna are EXPLICITLY FRIENDS in the games! It didn’t click with me until I started ranting about Tierno and Serena, but CLEMONT AND SHAUNA ARE CANONICALLY BUDDY BUDDY IN THE SOURCE MATERIAL (I get that Shauna is super friendly with Serena in the games as well, but you know what I mean). The device Shauna uses to break into the final chamber of Team Flare’s secret lab was a gift from Clemont. In the beginning of the game, Shauna knows little to nothing about being a trainer, but when she gets to Lumiose City and sees the gym leader and his little sister outside the gym, she recognizes them by face and exclaims “Those two are my friends! :D” It would have been fun seeing an unlikely friendship develop between the scientist who thinks he’s got his future figured out and the trainer with no set path who’s striving to love life as it is in the present.

Do you see the vision?

[museofthepyre]

what got you into chnt/made u discover it? :3

I heard about CHNT through being in the fiction podcast fandom-sphere around the time of its release (way back when I was SUPER into TMA), and then I was EXTRA incentivized to listen bc of Will Wood’s CH&T album. Ive been here since the relative beginning, and as soon as I listened to the first episode… um. I um. I have never recovered /lhj

There is no escape now, I’m stuck here forever /lh

sorry for bringing the whole tf2 tumblr gang over to you and the sphere person

(im NOT SORRY MUAHAHAHAHAHA)

/lh

Content become aware

[f0point5]

Just out of curiosity, why don’t you like LH?

I mean, I don’t know the guy obviously, but his vibe has always just been so unappealing to me.

He comes across so incredibly arrogant to me, in the most suffocating and self righteous way possible. I don’t like how he talks about himself, or other people. He just gives off the impression that he thinks he’s bigger than the sport, and while his accomplishments are incredible and undeniable, he isn’t the only person who’s ever driven a race car, but hear him to talk it sounds like he thinks he is. He just comes across very obnoxious to me.

Also, he has many a conspiracy theory when things don’t go his way. I’m sure all drivers do because they’re an egotistical and not the most self aware bunch but I don’t like hearing about it.

I don’t think anything to do with driving or the way he is in the car is relevant to this because I think it’s unfair to judge someone for what they say while driving at 300kph so I’m not even commenting.

It’s a very personal thing though, because in every sphere of life I always gravitate to people who are quiet winners. Just do what they do and let that speak for them. LH is not that guy. And I can understand to a certain extent why he wouldn’t be and he certainly doesn’t have to be, but his (public) personality is not something I connect with.

I feel the same way about Cristiano Ronaldo, Serena Williams, and Tom Brady. Like, they’re great, but no amount of other people acknowledging their achievements seems to measure up to the praise they feel they deserve. To me there’s no charm in self adulation.

It comes down to, say less.

[analexthatexists]

I can't hold it in anymore.

I need to rant about Ink Sans. (Or at least, how I see him and a few headcanons based on how I played him)

Blame @franxerk for this. /lh

This all started after a VR Chat roleplay with a friend (franxerk) where I had to play Ink in a protagonist role. This made me realize just how interesting of a concept it is for a character to be totally empathetic and soulless. It's not just "Oh, they suck at understanding emotions and empathy", No, it's "They literally CAN'T feel or comprehend those things". This combined with Ink's morals focused more on protecting the Multiverse and stability of the AUs over the inhabitants makes him very unlikable and annoying from the perspective of others. However, he has justifications for why he's like this. Even if he wanted people to take his side, he'd probably never try doing so due to his higher status and belief that nobody could comprehend how important this job is. He NEEDS to make sure there's balance or else the Multiverse could risk collapsing, overfilling or other bad things. Disturbing things that need to happen risk messing up the AU/Timeline, which is why he refuses to do certain things for people. He barley cares about the residents unless they serve importance to the universe, seeing them as fodder for the storyline. Again, this makes him seem like a really bad person. This also damages his reputation as "Guardian/Protector of the Multiverse" since he doesn't even protect the people who live in it unless they have value, but Ink himself doesn't even like this title. While he plays along, deep down he wishes people realized that he cares more about establishing balance and not being their hero. Technically, he IS helping them, just not in the way THEY want. It upsets him to be called out for being such a terrible person, and he's well aware of being such, but would these people rather suck it up or risk everything they know and love, their universe and the lives of billions, vanishing in an instant? Ink doesn't know for sure what will happen if balance isn't kept; He just knows it won't end well. Besides, what else would he do with himself? Keeping the Multiverse safe and intact was the only reason he existed. It was his main goal and the only way he could feel emotion. Pulling from the Fandom Wiki because looking back at this is leaving me in fricking awe:

"It doesn't take long for him to discover their true purpose; to imprint the Creators' Emotions in the forms of Undertale Fan work (AUs, Fan arts, etc.). Seeing this he concluded that, for him to remain in this fulfilling emotional state, He have to encourage the creators to keep making and maintaining their creations so that the paint keeps flowing through the doodle-sphere itself. Thus, to keep a steady supply of emotions for him to harness, he dedicates himself to being the Muse of the Undertale Creative Community, while he protects their creations from those who wish to harm them; be it vandals or any other off-scripted out!codes."

Going a little offtopic (as if I hadn't already), but he needs the Multiverse as much as it needs him. He needs to keep it stable and inspire its further creation (while also making sure everything is staying on script) in order to feel basic emotional needs. In order to EXPRESS AND FEEL ANY MEANS OF EMOTION, he needs to MAINTAIN THE BALANCE OF THE MULTIVERSE ITSELF in order to please US, THE CREATORS AND BASICALLY HIS GODS, and ensure he can live a meer DECENT life where he isn't a soulless HUSK. So many people are angered by his actions, but most of them have no idea how much it means to him. To do his job has become basic survival instinct. This job is literally everything to him. And he's bashed for it. Day after day. Because he can't interfere with the script. Well, I doubt it affects him too much, since;

"Ink does not appear as a perfectly well-behaved character. He can be inconsiderate, or even downright mocking and cruel, with his opinions, and deep down he sees other characters as fake story characters and not as creatures like him."

These people, no matter how much they shout or talk him down, really don't matter to him in the end, do they? They're all just characters tied to a story or script, fates established and laid out from the moment they were made. He even sees himself as higher than them, for better or worse seeing just how he became to be so (his backstory is wild). It doesn't matter how much one throws at him, even if it's personal. He doesn't care. Not about what these people have to say or throw at him, and not even about the people themselves. Sure, he can get angry or sad about what they have to say, but does it really matter to him in the end? If not for a bit of reconsidering and reflection, no, it probably wouldn't linger in his mind for all that long, him being scatterbrained and all. It's such an interesting character type, at least to me it is. It doesn't matter how emotional or upbeat he appears or displays; there is nothing but an apathetic husk underneath it all, even if he tried his hardest not to seem so. He is both very careful and careless about the inhabitants of the AUs he was believed to protect, mostly boiling down to their importance to their worlds. He's both higher than his own kind and just as stringed up and chained as they are. In the end, he still depends on US to feel and function as everyone else does.

No matter what, he's still our plaything. Isn't that sad?

It doesn't matter what he does. He's still, like everything else he swears to protect, under our command and fist. A starving artist forced to play said role by gods. And we could always get bored and leave him to starve. It really depends on whenever we'll keep this fandom alive or not.

And with our choice,

Both Ink and all else will cease to exist.

(Wow, that got pretty dark pretty fast. Anyways uh...Here's my reference and where I got those quotes.)
