#or send anonymously it's all good

[charmwasjess]

Oh wow, how is it already Saturday?! Seems like a great time to send @bolithesenate or myself a DM or an ask with an art, meta, or writing prompt or challenge for Mines Monday!!!! :D <3 ⛏️⛏️⛏️

Screenshots somebody’s DNI and has one herself saying no antis or busybodies. Cool. It’s the internet. Anything goes. That means I can rb your fanfics and save them for editing the way you save art that isn’t incestuous.

I mean, if you want to download my fics and comb through all of that incest and underage smut, that's your prerogative, man. Hope you get a boner out of it, then maybe you'll calm down 💕

Given how shit your anons have been, why don't you turn "Ask anonymously" off and leave it off?

But if I did that, I wouldn't get these asks either...

[flagellant]

lmao the obesity article from huffpo you reblogged is so insanely incorrect

First off, the whole "Your body is just doing what it's supposed to do, you're fat because you're MEANT to be fat!" while also saying "about 40 years ago, Americans started getting much larger" hmm... Why only Americans? Why only 40 years ago?

That seems odd, that Americans, specifically, would suddenly change to being naturally fat. Even today America has a much higher rate of obesity than other places like Japan. How is that? Wonder what would be discovered if we looked at when things like beet sugar, corn syrup, etc. started to be commonly added to foods 🤔

And then the "diets don't work!" spiel, along with emotionally charged reports of people starving themselves until they passed out.

What diets specifically doesn't work? Were the people getting enough calories? Did they stop the diet, and then the weight came back? Did they start with small, gradual changes or completely overhaul their entire meal plan right away?

They say "95% to 98% of research shows diets fail" what research? What studies? What was the sample size? What were people eating? Were they given any help to maintain their diet or encourage any other healthy habits, or were they just given a list of foods to eat and sent on their way?

It sounds like ALL the diets they talk about in the article are shitty. People starving themselves, people doing useless fad diets, etc. and presenting it as if weight loss is IMPOSSIBLE. Which is crazy, considering all the people I've seen who lose weight, maintain the loss, and feel insanely better than they did when they were obese.

Maybe it's not that "diets" don't work, but that the diet industry doesn't work? After all, what would happen if they encouraged people to change their relationship with food completely, starting with small, gradual changes, and work on fixing their gut microbiome and cutting out unnecessary things from their diet like processed sugars, corn syrup, etc? Then people would lose weight. Then they wouldn't need expensive diet plans anymore.

And then the industry has no more customers. Just like if Apple makes phones that actually work and aren't pieces of trash, then they wouldn't be making money from people buying new iPhones every other year. Same with the clothing industry, and the pharmaceutical industry, and every other industry.

For someone who always talks about people researching things and checking out the sources on information before automatically believing it ya'll don't seem very good at it lmao

I'd like to start off with saying that I definitely agree with you in that the way the diet industry is structured exists to predate upon invented insecurities, just like nearly any cosmetics aimed at body alteration to some degree (makeup included). We also agree that it is fundamentally built to ensure failure and ongoing failure as a norm, in the same way that we're never going to get a proper cure for cancer when the cancer industry is so insanely prevalent and profitable.

That said, I understand your...frustration, let's call it, sure, about the fact that no, I did not do any further digging into this and took it at its word. You have my apologies for that.

However. I'd like to use this as a tool for transparency and assuming best intent. Your tone and treatment of me in this is rather hostile and I don't see the purpose that it serves. If I'm someone who claims to find accuracy in reporting important, then yes, accuracy needs to be had. And it was as simple as just Googling "95% diets fail". First result is an article from the NYT debunking it and explaining why it's a myth and bad statistics.

But that same article gets me to the heart of why I'm writing things out this way: you brought it up yourself, in fact, though in deciding to get petty you probably missed the subtext. For over forty years now these numbers have been used and spread around to the point where countless literal professional doctors don't have any idea that it's false. After all, we live in a society where diet industries have for pretty much ever been able to operate with nearly no regulation, fat people aren't actually given a shit about from medical professionals and are just told to get GPS, etc...you could even say this is a systemic issue which started long before I and likely you (and most reading this) were born.

Nobody learns these things on accident. You're absolutely right that if I looked it up and researched the claims I could easily have found out their validity to be nonexistent. But why would I? This isn't new research. This isn't anything that goes against anything I was ever taught. It's just a fact of life, just the way things are. People thought the universe was geocentric.

So with that said, I have to admit that while I've done my best to not vent my irritation at you or anyone else, it is deeply frustating, sure, we'll call it, to have you walk up to me and act in this way. It would be one thing if this wasn't a case of unlearning systemic bias and normativity. That'd be on me, absolutely.

But instead of thinking things through like an emotionally mature individual and going "Hm, this dude who says it finds research/accuracy important posted some stuff which was wrong, which I'm aware has a history going back multiple decades and is still going strong. Maybe the reason they didn't do any followup research was because they've lived their entire life hearing this same statistic over and over again and therefore thought that their systemic biases were accurate and saw nothing wrong because they couldn't,"

you decided to be a cunt for no fucking reason and you knew it because you had to go on Anonymous to hide any possible consequences coming your way for your actions. So thanks for informing me about this, I'm genuinely grateful and we, again, completely fucking agree ideologically, but/so fuck you for thinking that acting like a fucking 10th grader with a gotcha was a better use of anyone's time than just typing out "Hey that diet thing you reblogged is actually completely false if you look it up" to which I would have gone "Oh shit you're right, here's some followup research I did about this thing and how it's a systemic bias that needs to be unlearned".

lord pls i just wanna kiss my wife without hana bitching and moaning about it

well, considering you just upended Hana's life and ruined her nearly 100 years-long relationship by coming back from the dead, you're going to have to deal with her "bitching and moaning," which i personally think she is entitled to.

i know this is probably a joke, but i don't know how you can read that conversation with Hana and then refer to it as "bitching and moaning." some of you are way too comfortable joking about Hana specifically in my inbox and it really rubs me the wrong way!

[bluebellhairpin]

Stuck between laughing my ass off and banging my head against the wall bc. How does my aunt not realize she's being scammed.

[2bu]

im sorry but am i supposed to know who sent this lmao

edit: btw if this is anyone who i think it could be i think it's weird and hypocritical for you to continue to perpetuate stalker behavior towards me despite me making my own boundaries /very/ clear, especially if you've found yourself blocked by me. crazy how you guys continue to treat me this way and continue to assert that I'm the bad guy 👍🏼

[allamericansbitch]

You can probably see who sends this but I wanted to share this because I thought you’d find it interesting

https://apple.news/AZzgRKheaQQWUGQdQn6RMPw

If you don’t have Apple News it is a CNN article titled “Opinion: The Taylor Swift-Travis Kelce narrative has a dark side”

Holy fuck this is amazing and everything I’ve been trying to say, some highlights:

If anyone wants to read the article, please do!!

[userboxvariety]

i currently have 46 requests in my inbox , so i'm unfortunately closing my requests for now !! i'll be opening them again once i have the numbers culled down to 30 !!

[askunwantedguestnarrator]

Absolutely so sorry about the harassment your receiving with anons.

Completely undeserved

I hope it stops.

But also I do believe there is a way of blocking anons if necessary. I dont know for sure. But yeah stay safe!!

I hope your day is going well!

it was really only one ask, and i haven’t gotten them since i shut anonymous asks off, but i’m probably going to turn them back on in case people don’t want to be seen when asking a question

but i am having a good day, thank ye :)

i will now go back to our normal electric edgelord program

[sen-ya]

do you have X/Twitter or something else where you post your comics and doodles?

I do not! I’m accidentally averse to social media these days. I used to use instagram but fell off of it at least 6 months ago 🙈 I know there’s Good Shit on twitter but I’ve never used it and I am………..lazy I am sorry

[vellichorom]

are you living laughing and loving

god am i ever

[this-machine-runs-on-coffee]

For the (two) Tumblr mutuals I probably will never hear from again, I'll remember you.

I'm glad I met you in this life, and I hope we can meet again in this same one.

[dreemurr-skelememer]

ao3 post has me curious and i cant seem to find anything on it- could you perhaps point me in the right direction here? if not thats alright, can just keep looking (have a nice day/night btw! ^^)

it be this

if its a little too much to understand (trust me i know), op replied to someone with a more brief version that helps put things in better place when you reread the thread again

all you gotta do is basically make sure you have backups of your work because ao3 is being a bit urrghrgrg rn

[spyres]

have you seen the leak of them saying not to make Primarina pose on its fins to avoid looking like Pretty Cure

WHAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

29 and 30 if you don't mind! 😎

I do not mind!

29. Which fic would you most like to have fan art done for?

I would say the TTEOE Series, but I've done so much art for that series myself, as have some wonderful readers, so I feel like it gets enough attention (although, if anyone reading this wants to do more I will literally never not be grateful and honoured by it).

My ACTUAL answer to this question would probably be Real Christmas, if for no other reason than I wrote it 11 years ago and I still think it's cute. It's the cheesiest, hokiest thing I've ever written and there are so many moments between Dean and Cas in that story that would make really good fanart imo. I am SO out of touch with the spn fandom and I have been for years but I still have a soft spot for destiel lol.

30. Which fic would you most like to have its own fanfic written for?

Oh I LOVE this question. I don't even know how to answer it. Fanart for fics is so good but there's just something otherworldly about the idea of someone writing fanfic for a fanfic I wrote. I think that might fix me tbh. In this case I am gonna go with the TTEOE Series becauce I myself already have little spin-offs etc. in my future plans and I think it's the fic that has the most potential in terms of how I've fleshed out the world and the characters. So that would be incredible.
