If I were to make boot blacking content would that interest anybody??

[lazylittledragon]

y'know i always wondered why it always felt like i was sick for SO long whenever i caught something when i was younger?? then i realised i was waking up at 6am and going to school and doing homework every day so no wonder i spent 2 weeks fighting off colds. the last time i got sick as an adult, i slept in and sat in bed and did nothing as often as i could and i was almost over it in 3 days.

so anyway fuck attendance rewards and shaming kids for taking days off school. let them rest.

ermm if you know me irl no you dont 🙅‍♀️

[westywallowing]

it has always baffled me that ASL isn't taught as a second language in American schooling. or as a requirement for certain jobs that work with, well, people. the HLAA says that around 48 million Americans have hearing loss!! 1 in 5 teenagers!! 1 in 3 people over the age of 60!!! it's crazy to me that sign isn't more widely taught and used considering that you probably DO or WILL know someone who has hearing loss at some point in their life

[triglycercule]

i feel like horror would have sourdough starter. he doesn't even use it to bake he just keeps it alive like a funny little experiment. the yeast in that starter will never get to experience the fulfillment of becoming bread unfortunately

and then he totally gets mad at dust and killer if they dont take care of it properly when he can't. WDYM THE STARTER OVERFLOWED!!! YOURE SUPPOSED TO ADD LESS WATER!!!! that's his baby guys he named it and decorated the jar and EVERYTHING 💔

i literally have not cried this much in years

[kizzington]

Not aiming this at anyone specifically, but I’m genuinely so disappointed & annoyed at the fact no one in my real life circles bothered to reach out to me to check up on me regarding the recent Liam Payne/One Direction news.

[apomaro-mellow]

Well, it's been over a month and quite a few things have happened so it's time to break it all down. I'm putting it all under a cut because it is quite personal but if you like drama that doesn't involve you, give it a read.

So back in July, my brother's baby mama blew up. Not unusual, but she was particularly ornery today. The reason being my mom tossed the old carseat (after buying a spankin' new one since, ya know, babies groooow). But baby mama didn't wanna hear that bc apparently she wanted to sell the old one. Now see, this is reasonable. To want to hold onto your own property and get rid of it on your own terms is reasonable. What is NOT, is screaming in the face of a woman who has basically been co-parenting your child.

Of course, this is when my brother decides to be chivalrous bc how dare this mess of a woman who I have chosen be mad disrespectful to my parents. Never mind that he's been mad rude to them to their faces too, suddenly it's a problem when someone else does it.

It was a horrid mess of chaos that happened in probably less than thirty minutes start to finish from the moment the shouting started to the moment the cops left. Baby is crying pretty much the whole time because her parents are addicted to toxicity. Spent like ten minutes tryina get this bitch to leave but she was more concerned with getting a rise out of my brother (with her baby in her arms!) and I fully believe that if he woulda swung on her, she wouldn't have cared if her infant daughter caught a stray she is that vile.

At one point I do try and reach for the baby and this girl literally twisted and fell to the ground tryina get away from me, but the moment she could walked right back up to my brother who is literally screaming in her face.

Anyway, cops get called, the show up, get the story from me, her, and my mother (my brother has either stomped off somewhere or is being talked to by my dad). Things settle and what should come in the mail about a week later but assault charges for me and theft for my mom (for the aforementioned carseat).

Now part of me wanted to wring her neck just to keep her from being a liar. BUT this also meant that if she was going to keep up appearances then she wasn't going to show her face, at least until the hearing.

And when I tell you that since then I have experienced the most peaceful month of the last fours yearssssssss. Now of course my anxiety gets the best of me at times because assault charges are no joke and I'm too soft for prison and I'll walk into traffic before I give her a dime of fine money but that brings us to today.

Because her ass is strung out and she's irresponsible and doesn't follow through on things and so she failed to screen the case which means nolle prosequi which means I am not being prosecuted which means wheeeeeeeeeeeeee.

[ghost-proofbaby]

so... i just got off work, and can see i've missed a few things.

gonna spend the rest of my waking hours getting caught up, but just want to say a few things.

one, thank you to all the love and support. publicly and privately. it's seen and appreciated, even if i don't individually respond.

two, i hope going forward, we all carry the lesson learned from what's been happening in the fandom. i wasn't the only one who has received nasty reactions or felt exclusion to any degree, and that's really important to remember. i'm privileged to have any sort of platform to any degree on this hellsite, and i can guarantee you anything that's thrown at an account with reach like my own (no matter if sometimes i misconceive just how far that reach can be, given i didn't expect the response garnered), can be thrown just as easily if not ten times worse at smaller creators/those whose voices are getting lost in it all. i'm also privileged that thus far in my online presence, my queer experience has been entirely different from my actual life, and that's largely due to having my shit figured out, and for being a white cis woman who can wholeheartedly say she identifies as bisexual.

fandom spaces have always experienced these issues. they don't get better unless we speak up, and especially unless we listen.

uplift each other. be kind to each other. life is hard enough without this kind of stuff - if we want to see a better online space to feel safe in, we've gotta make it. there'll always be people like that anon. it's sad and shitty, but it's the human experience. the way to change it? keep the energy i saw today.

it's not just a today thing, and it's not just a "it happened to ghost so it matters" thing. it always happens, and it always matters.

keep. that. energy.

and, again just for shits and giggles and to drill it into all our brains, be kind to one another. <3

Feel free to ignoring this ( pls don't), so as you're one of the few people that listen to what I have to say about speedsters, here are some of my negative speedster hcs:

People, in fact, don't realise how dengerous, and scary, speedsters really are until its too late.

- almost every one in this condiction suffers from delusions. Like the negative speed force telling Eobard that he is a monster and him beliving that with all his soul (he in fact is) and he can not change, so he must make Barry's life a living hell forever.( For Owen a see him have some mental problems like Jinx from Arcane).

- They commit antropophagy. As you know speedsters need to eat a lot, and having in mind that the negative ones are "crazy" and by nature they have a too strong predator instinct, i just gonna leave this info here....( really want to talk about this, but dont want to sound weird)

- they can mimic other peoples voices. Speaking is basically vibrating the vocal chords, so a speedster can imitate anyone, and remembering the last hc, they can use it as a hunting tecnic. ( just like those criptids or skinwalkers).

- sexual impulses. They can be predators in any meaning of the word, and they have enough intelect to make plans, and at some point they may want to setisfy an urge...( it dosen't mean everyone of them do that, but again, just saying)

-claptomaniacs. They dont steal things for its value, they steal stuff because it looks intresting for them, when they dont want it anymore they just throw it away.( That aplies to humans too, the speedster can kidnap a person, just because they liked something in that person, thats not necesarilly sexual, they can spend hours looking at that person or hearing them talk.)

And thats are the most things that worried me about speedsters, I don't fear them losing their mind and messing up the multiverse, I fear them if they lose their mind and start to hunting people in the woods, and in big ass Citys that dont mind if somebody desapered.

Thanks for reading ❤! Hope you finded that at least a little scary and realistic, I want to become a terror and body horror writer in the future. I know its dosent about your AU but I would like to share it with another Flash fan.

I am a Twane hater first and foremost, so-

Also, Kaliesuriens, henlo :D

But, let's chat about it, in points! But imma use my ver of Owen as the main silly guy--

I imagine Owen would defiantly let the speedforce take over his mind at first, he's obsessive over coming back, even when he's "back". He needs everything to be exactly how he wants it, and negative Speedforce feeds into it - "Yes, you are right. How could it happen? It had no right, you didn't allow it." type of stuff. A child, who is stripped of all the control it could have, would fight for it with nails and teeth.

I do wonder if they'd commit autosarcophagy (autocannibalism). Time for speedsters is a horrid thing, and with Owen? Owen, who was stuck in speedforce and suddenly left, hungry and bitter - too animalistic to care. I mean, he heals so quickly and it hurts only a little, the meat is so fresh, even if the hair sometimes gets annoying. I do imagine he does not care for rawness of meat- And if he finds humans harder to hide, to get in time? Well, the corpses of animals with marks of human nails ripping through their flesh and teeth marks that couldn't be any other animal's? But remember not to touch it- not to move it. Speedsters always come back to their last place of hunt. Obsessive little things.

Owen, now twenty-five, still sounding like the sacred eight years old. Boomer has nightmares of his blood-red eyes and his silhouette leaning above him - so skinny and yet grown. His body so unlike his baby son, yet the same voice calling for his dad, for his papa - "Please, da, what did I do? Why aren't you looking at me?" He wakes up sick to his stomach. Owen, angry how others get their parents, hiding in a forest and hunting one of the rangers, knowing that he has a young daughter. They have everything, her last birthday he took her to Disneyland, while she whined that it's not Disney World - how dare they? How dare she. Only two "dad, help!" and he's exactly where he needs him.

Speedsters, at all, have a strong sexual drive for me - I mean, they do not have to rest at all. Mixed with stronger instincts? Damn. When Owen is home, softer - tamer, it's not that big of a deal. Until Axel comes over with rogues, so loud and eye catching. They both are horrid for each other, but only one of them might end up with scars after their meetings. Pied Piper jokes about being attacked by a feral cat.

I just wanna mention - with Kleptomania, it's qualified under inability to control impulses (the stolen stuff has literally 0 value, some give it away some throw it away) or at least was! But also, I doubt speedsters feel the guilt and anxiety later. But it's still under the "lacking control over impulses" which I believe is common under the Speedster fam tree. I also want to say that even while Boomer's not a speedster/handmade speedster, I can imagine that he has Kleptomania on some lighter lvl. It's just not as common, but when it hits, it hits pretty hard. He usually ends up giving the trinkets or even bigger things to other rogues. They know about his little issue. When he learns that Owen also does so, he worries that it's biological, but Weather Wizard helps him to figure out that it's not actually the same. (biggest thing he took - a chair from the police station, left it in the nearest trash can. He believed back then that he wanted to do it and did it to prove to himself that he can. He learned around a month later that it's really not that.)

So ye, ofc I had to put some stuff about Boomer and Owen (a lot of stuff about Owen), but what can I do :'D

Thing with Speedsters hunting, especially in DC universe, they would blend in with everything. You hunt near Gotham? Few people disappearing a week is the norm, if you're good enough, no-one notices.

Also, they can vibrate through the walls - whatcha gonna do? Creature Owen seems fun, but imma stay with my normal Owen, especially since in his main surviving au it's Digger with the speed and he got his pop's great agility. (gonna @kaliesuriens bc last time it didnt inform ya)

[sharkfackts]

According to the Florida Museums, there were 120 investigated cases of human-shark interaction, with only 91 confirmed shark bites in all of 2023, 22 attacks being provoked. There were 14 deaths relating to sharks in 2023, and 10 of them were unprovoked. The number of deaths was higher then average based on previous years, with the average being 6 unprovoked deaths per year.

Even with the increased death rate, dogs killed 55 more humans in Canada the the U.S alone during 2023. This of course makes sense because we do not have sharks living in our homes like we do dogs, and people have less exposure to sharks. Even with the statistics, there is more negative stigma surrounding sharks, many are afraid to even go in the ocean due to fear. However, even with that fear 82% of Americans agree that they are an important part of the ecosystem, even if 51% are afraid of sharks.

we should treat sharks with the respect that they deserve when we enter their home, because that's what we give to dogs when they enter ours.

[welcometoteyvat]

honestly. i'm sorry but prev post, except with less harsh wording, was also my first thoughts about neuvilette and furina's romantic relationship sdflsdjgksjdkf i think it's far outpaced every other neuvillette and furina ship, so it must be popular for a reason, but even fandom's platonic rendition of their relationship makes them a lot closer than I felt they ended up in the archon quest. I thought I might've been missing something in neuvillette's stories/voicelines since I don't have him, but after reading his lore I'm still not super sure where the "they made up immediately and are now deeply in love" take came up 😭

ik about how neuvi granted her vision, and honestly I think they can be good after maybe another 50 years, but really idk. they're very estranged rn like I get that neuvillette feels bad as evidenced by his convo w focalors, but at the same time I.. don't really think he cares as much about furina as much as fandom thinks? his one voiceline says he should pay her his respects, but i feel like that's it............. focalors is the one who called him up from wherever he was before, to go take the judge's seat, and the melusines and humans showed him humanity and love, but although furina may have been part of that, i dont think she was unique in that regards.... he doesn't have the same appreciation of human emotions as what focalors was fascinated by and liked furina for, idk. furina on her part just feels like she's both skittish and tired, both valid, and thinks neuvillette has a bad impression of her. idk they're giving really estranged coworkers to me, as in: they realized they don't really know each other, but it's too late to do anything about that because they're not coworkers anymore

Just saw a bad opinion on a job. You shouldn't NEED a """"""good"""""" job to fucking SURVIVE!!!!!! I don't care!!!! Any job someone can get, even if you think it's BASIC work that "doesn't deserve high pay" should be able to pay for that person to afford everything they need. Home, groceries, car and or transport, healthcare, insurances, etc. AND still offer a bit of money for fun or otherwise. Of course """"good"""" jobs should pay more, nobody wants to work a degree dependent job and earn $13.00 but the moment you start saying that "well maybe those minimum wage workers should take a look at reality" you're ignoring that SO many of those people CANNOT access higher education TO magically for sure definitely be offered a better job

[emiliosandozsequence]

maybe use your own money instead of leeching from fiance

lol you sound like my abusive father. why don't you kill yourself instead of sending shitty asks to people on the internet?

[prommethium]

Nuestra Parte de Noche is a joy to read. There are fragments in French, English, and Latin. One would expect to see footnotes with the translations and interpretations, but no. Mariana Enriquez is a pretentious author, or maybe it was the editorial; who knows?! My point is that accessibility would be nice!! 

The third chapter, narrated by Gaspar (page 234 in the Castellano version),  what Juan was doing was a ritual to open scars; from what we have seen so far, they were probably Mercedes' (the solve and coagula on his arms).
