#please tumblr don't eat this caption

[arctic-hands]

[Image Description: a six panel comic. In the first panel, it features a cartoony blue whaleshark with a red cartoony pilot fish on its temple like a hair bow. The whale shark is in the middle of the sea, smiling up at the title, "Waves of Life", by Matt Tarpley. The title words are in a wavy light blue font against the darker blue ocean. Second panel: titled "Scary Waves", it shows the whaleshark in the middle of a large ocean wave about to crash down. The whaleshark looks scared. Third panel: titled "Makin' Waves", shows the grinning whaleshark breeching, that is, leaping out of the water to splash back down on its side. In this particular panel, the pilot fish is on its stomach. Fourth panel: titled "Slappy Waves", it shows the whaleshark with its head poking out of the water, grimacing as small waves smack it in the face. Fifth panel: titled "Swirlin' Waves", it shows the whaleshark upside down and caught in an underwater spiral currant, it's eyes replaced by swirls to show dizziness. Sixth panel: titled "Wavy Waves", it shows the whaleshark peaking its head out of the water and waving its fin at the viewer. There's a speech bubble coming from the whaleshark that says "Hi!"

if I reblog a pure text post, something that doesn't have an ID, or something that I didn't tag with a media type and description type, I probably meant to reblog it to my main and messed up. oops.

I try to keep track of what I've already reblogged so that I don't post duplicates but I'll probably mess that up sometimes too. oops.

posts with existing IDs usually get added to the queue, unless they're particularly topical. IDs I write are usually posted as soon as I write them, unless they make more sense to post at a different time. currently, my queue posts twice a day and is about 90 posts long.

Ahhhhh i am LOVING the streamer AU! i've been reading all your headcanons and theories today and i am just eating it up so thank you sm for the delicious snackies ❤️ i am obsessed!

Honestly I don't have too much to add as i already love what you have for it! ... my only teeny contribution would be that i do enjoy the idea of there being like, one VERY dedicated fan of both of them who is totally convinced they've discovered the truth of them dating... you know the type! has a tumblr devoted to proving that Crowley & Aziraphale are dating, has all these random, blurry zoomed in screengrabs on twitter with red circles in ms paint, with captions like "PROOF?? #aziracrowisreal"

and then like links to their deep dive analysis video essays on youtube. and of course, it's all wishful conspiracy-theory style spaghetti-noodle logic that nobody believes or takes seriously at all, because like, how on earth could Chaotic Disaster Gremlin even meet (let alone date) Twitch's Favourite Uncle?

anyway the fan with the theory is Furfur, it's obviously Furfur and nobody believes him

(Crowley has seen the tumblr and thinks it's funny... trolls him occasionally if he gets too close with his theorizing.... Aziraphale has no idea and nobody mentions it to him out of respect for his pure sweet soul 🙏)

PLEASE

I'M WHEEZING FUCKING FURFUR

OF COURSE IT'S FURFUR

[Image Description: a series of manga drawings from a book are of various women.

First page: which is labeled "Extra" and has text in it, but the text is too small to read. It has six sketches of women in it, all of whom are tall, blonde, and lanky. One is of a pale elf girl with pointed ears and long blonde hair and is wearing an olive drab crop top and white short shorts. The second is of human woman with a short bob of disheveled dirty blonde hair, wearing a beige crop top that looks vaguely reminiscent of a bikini, with a matching shirt wrap-around skirt. The third sketch is a black and white of the first elf girl, her brownish crop top the only thing that's colored. She is posing with her hands in front of her exposed stomach and with an alarmed expression on her face. Fourth is of the elf posing in a white sleeveless mini dress. Fifth is a black and white sketch of a headless torso wearing a brown corset-like top and white short shorts. Lastly is a headshot of a simpering woman with ear-length dirty blonde hair, just the top of her heart-shaped dress and long white gloves visible.

Second page: sketches of different woman (and potentially one man since their bare chest isn't censored). There are four full figures, and four sketches of various body parts. The first woman is short and squat with shortish nearly blonde beige hair and pinkish skin, wearing a lopsided black crop top with a single toga-like strap, and black and brown short shorts, and white socks. The second sketch is of an even smaller...pig person? The image is small and the figure is facing away so it's hard to tell. I think they're naked. Third sketch is of a tall and fat pale woman with big ears and dirty blonde hair in a messy ponytail, posing with her hands on her hips. She's wearing a thin green camo tube top over modestly proportional breasts, with slight fat rolls underneath and a large, flabby gut slightly spilling over a lopsided red plaid wrap-around short skirt or kilt. Her thick arms have unidentifiable tattoos, and her feet have short strappy sandals on. Next to her is an even larger figure, the one with no top on, showing modest breast growth partially covered by thick brown chest hair, as well as their naked arms also covered by hair. This figure has very short cropped brown hair and a rough, if cheery looking, face, and is only wearing an olive green kilt adorned with a brown belt, from which hangs a single white and black feather and either four pouches or four fox tails, it's hard to make out.

At the top of the page are the body parts, first of which are thick, brown-colored feet with pale soles. The second is the head of a dark gray-skinned bat- or pig-like person, perhaps an Orc. She has long black hair with large ears poking out, and is facing the left. The second is another, similar animal-like person, this time with a very short crop of greenish-black hair, and is looking partially towards the right. The last drawing is the head of a ruddy-faced person with a large lantern jaw and short brown hair.

Third page: it's all drawings of the pale elf-girl from the first page, wearing a white peasant blouse and blue tight pants. She's in various poses which when put together on the page like that makes it look like she's dancing happily.

Fourth page: five short and squat (Dwarven?) women, four of whom appear to be the same person with shoulder length messy brown hair. In her first sketch, she's wearing a green blouse and beige shorts, and is looking off to the side with a look of disinterest. Next to her is another (potentially Dwarven) woman with longer, light brown hair in two braided pigtails and bangs that cover her eyes. She is wearing a lighter green blouse-like crop top and high-waisted khakis. Both women are wearing simple sandals. At the bottom of the page are three sketches of the first woman, all in different outfits and poses. In one, she's wearing thick, fur-lined orange armor over a basic gray tunic, brown fur-lined pants, and greenish brown boots and brown gloves. She is posed with her finger rubbing along her cold-pinkened nose with a grimace on her face. The next drawing is of her in a yellow tunic with a short, fur-lined red cape and a rust-colored knee-length skirt and white slippers. She's looking forward with a neutral expression. Finally is a sketch of her looking slightly to the left in a simple long, beige nightgown, looking a little pouty.

Fifth and final page: first is of a fat, slightly tan elf with a short red pixie cut and large rounded ears. She is posing on the floor, propped up by one arm with her other hand on her knees, and is wearing a front-laced drab crop top and matching panties, with her slightly flabby stomach exposed. She's looking to the side in annoyance. Second is a black and white sketch of a long haired chubby woman with realistically large breasts. She's sitting down and wearing a halter top and underwear. She has a neutral expression. Third is a color drawing of someone who looks very similar to the first woman on the page, only with dark brown hair and slightly more tanned skin. She is wearing the same color underthings, only now the bra-like top is slightly longer and has straps. She is standing up at an angle with her hand behind her waist as if stretching. She's looking up with a possibly concerned look on her face.

The remaining sketches on the last page are all in black and white. Next is a simplified short and thickly curvy woman with long pale hair and wearing a basic bra and panties. She's waving at the viewer with an excited look on her face. Next is of a more detailed woman who is thick but muscley, with short black side-swept hair and black simple underthings, exposing a well-defined abdomen. She looks somewhere between bored and annoyed as she looks out at you with one hand on her waist. In the middle is a of a short, wide woman with long pale hair wearing a white tube top over her largish yet proportional breasts, and white boy-cut panties. Her eyes are closed and her expression is a bit unreadable. Next is a taller woman, not really fat but more wide than how one often sees women drawn. She has shoulder-length pale hair with a few strands sticking out, wearing a white front-laced crop top and simple drawstring shorts. She is also smiling and waving, perhaps to the first sketch in this row as that's where she is looking. Finally is a very short, concerningly thin body with ribs and hip bone jutting out. She has long wavy pale hair behind her and is wearing a black halter crop top and black boy cut panties. She has an irritated expression on her face. End I.D]

there are 2 kinds of mangaka when drawing: the ones that hate woman and the ones that love woman

And, guys...

i think ryoko kui really loves woman.

[sleepitysleepyspees]

okay so. I'm playing Stray Gods: Orpheus for the first time since it released over a month ago. I'm going to just yell into the tumblr void. spoilers btw.

I went back in an old save and played through The Throne so I could have Orpheus be king of Hades because... achievement.

CERBERUS. CUTE LITTLE GUY. I WANT MORE OF HIM. PLEASE.

the Derryn thing still gets me.

not just Derryn. this whole song. imagine sitting with someone for a date and they compliment you by comparing you to Medusa.

HAHA Orpheus got so pissed when the one guy said Apollo was his favorite.

is it just me or is anyone else getting the feeling that Hermes likes Orpheus? just. the way Hermes looks at him. the way they say certain things. idk.

omg. Orpheus might be shit at modern communication. but he's got great threats.

he can't just leave. he's gotta sing a loud ass song in the middle of a public place announcing that he's done.

"I've never been in love, not ever." LIAR. WHAT ARE YOU DOING RIGHT NOW? HUH???

Orpheus doesn't want to ask the gods for another lover. that is exactly why he asked Hermes.

"I'm depressed because speed dating failed. WELP, TIME TO GET DRUNK!!"

"a seal phone"

should I flirt with Medusa? nah. I did that already. I'm going the route of hate everyone but Hermes despite the fact that I know he's not an option.

the way that Orpheus sees Medusa and is just like "oh, okay." ALL YOU KNOW ABOUT HER IS THAT SHE'S A MAN EATING MONSTER. THE FUCK.

LET'S KILL ATHENA!!!! WOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

Medusa's music is so... idk. it's uncomfortable in a good way. makes me uneasy.

"I go unnoticed here." not anymore. you are singing quite loud.

HERMES IS MORE SCARED OF MEDUSA THAN ORPHEUS. WHAT.

DON'T YOU DARE REJECT HIM, HERMES. they did it. :(

the captions revealing that a character named Daphne exists is crazy.

the little doodle profile picture is so cute. smoll.

the mic just. disappeared?

the mic is back.

Grace's voice was a jumpscare.

who's more of a stereotypical D&D bard? Orpheus or Grace?

who's at more of a crossroads? Orpheus or Grace? (seriously why is Grace just as lost as at the start of the original game???)

Orpheus would not be able to comprehend the concept of aro/ace

I always forget that Grace isn't a theatre kid. well, at least we don't have any evidence that she is.

Grace just suggested stalking a film star.

Grace is too creative for anyone's good.

this would actually be such a great scene for Hermes to say they like Orpheus.

HERMES IS PLAYING WITH CYRBERUS

THAT WAS AMAZING

anyway. this game is great. but like 10 hours straights makes you burnt out. glad I put the game down for a month. King Orpheus + find the muses is my favourite route I've done so far. the part in the one song with Grcae about the muses was so cool.

[primofate]

Hey Primo! This is only my opinion so please don't take it to heart. I remember reading your post about how bad the interaction (at the time) was with one of your posts. I felt a bit odd about it considering it was only 1 day apart and notes etc normally pick up over the span of a few days/weeks. I think that when writers reach to a point where they crave to hear what others think of their work, is when writing no longer becomes a fun pastime if that is what it originally intended to be. There was also someone that made a comment stating that alot of writers can't take criticism though they ask for it which is completely true. It's a constant back n' forth where at the end of the day we'll never truly be able to satisfy everyone. You'll just drive yourself mad (case in point, you're someone that normally gets thousands of notes but this time merely 1 day of little interaction seemed to have gotten to you which is extremely unhealthy.)

You're an amazing writer and overall genuine person. Don't let things like this eat away at you.

I quote from your post

You'll just drive yourself mad (case in point, you're someone that normally gets thousands of notes but this time merely 1 day of little interaction seemed to have gotten to you which is extremely unhealthy.)

Which is extremely true and it is very unhealthy that I expected so much out of that post when in truth I should know that not all of my posts is going to have thousands of notes. Some will reach further some will not, and that's something I should understand and accept.

Though I do agree with you that posts pick up over a couple of days... sometimes, for me who has a few thousand followers, if it doesn't pick up the first few hours and doesn't get reblogged the first few hours, it actually won't pick up anymore. At the moment it has 2,000 or so notes, unless someone revives it, it will actually remain stagnant and will even have difficulty climbing to 3,000. (This is the reason why you see some authors reblog their own post and caption it "in case you missed it #icymi "because it actually won't move anymore if they don't do that)

But here's the thing, the notes is not what really got to me. Yes that was part of it, but what really bugged me is that I spent so much time on that one post and I realized that I shouldn't have. Realizing that my TIME is now more precious than it was a year ago. Which ties in to what you said about it being unhealthy. Tumblr is not something I should spend my time on, to be quite frank. I love doing this, but I hate so much that I forgo something when I do it (e.g. Time with my family).

Thus my 10 minute quick writes was born, after realizing this fact. In that way I don't spend so much time in front of the computer, mulling over my writing, re-reading it, wondering how I can make the words flow better. Wondering how to make the words and story clearer in my mind and everyone else's. With the 10 minute quick writes, I don't really give a freak who read it, who interacts with it, who likes it...because it only took 10 minutes of my life (I actually put a 10 minute timer on whenever I feel like writing now) and some day when I have more time, then maybe I can write something longer but honestly, right now, I would rather not.

Thank you so much for your message! It has cemented me back to Earth, cause even with my 10 minute quick write I had felt guilty that I only wrote such a short thing...but reading your message has told me there's nothing to feel guilty about, specially when I MYSELF am already happy with doing 10 minutes of writing, regardless of what tumblr thinks.

<3

With love,

WTYP: The Shandor Building, Part 1 [take 2, the long post vs Tumblr's formatting]

[Do you like the colour of the fanfic? This is long and if you expand it you're gonna get the whole thing, because Tumblr hates you. Don't say I didn't warn you!]

[Beware of strong language, mention of all kinds of death, gore, and Lovecraftian horror.]

Part 1: Hello and Welcome to Shandor Studios (it's weird)

[TRANSCRIBER'S NOTE: The moon was waning and a raven was tapping on my window when I discovered a heretofore unknown tier at the WTYP Patreon page. It was called "Pazuzu" and cost $6.66 USD. It had one listed benefit "bonus bonus episode." I unlocked a single unnumbered bonus episode titled "Ibo Shanor" and subtitled "train bad actually." Judging from the dialogue, it dates to summer 2023. Since it lacked any closed-captioning, I took the liberty of transcribing it, and coping most of the slides for your edification. (Not really, this is a work of fiction.) I have styled Ms. Caldwell-Kelly as "Alice" since she still seems to be using that in podcast land at this time. Please support WTYP!]

[SLIDE: Shandor Studios, an art deco style building with some familiar-looking gargoyles perched on it, and poor JPEG compression, with an inset of the Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man. Captioned: Will the Real Ivo Shandor Please Stand Up?]

JUSTIN ROCZNIAK (R): Hello, and welcome to Well There’s Your Problem, a podcast about engineering disasters with…

LIAM ANDERSON (L) [chanting]: Studio! Studio! Studio!

R: …with slides.

L: Studio! Suck it, Discord!

ALICE CALDWELL-KELLY (A): It’s quite nice, actually. There’s a little break room, and somebody left us one of those edible arrangements, and a paperback Necronomicon…

DEVON (D) [text over slide]: IT WAS ACTUALLY VERY NICE. I HAD MY OWN CONTROL ROOM. BUT IT WAS NOT WORTH IT.

L [distorted, too close to the mic]: My audio sounds amazing! This bonus episode is about Liam’s cool mic!

A [obligingly]: Yay, Liam’s cool mic.

R: It’s made of meat, though.

L: What, my cool mic?

R: No, the edible arrangement in the break room. They’re usually made of fruit, this one is made of meat. Raw meat.

A: Yes, I was wondering if that was an American thing. [laughter] I’ve never been to Massachusetts before!

L: It’s Innsmouth, Alice. Nobody’s ever been to Innsmouth. It doesn’t technically exist.

R: It’s not even on Google Maps.

A: Is it sort of a, er, township? Unincorporated township?

R: It’s more of a, uh, cult.

A: Like an MLM?

L: Like Christianity!

R: Well, a bunch of fish people founded it in the late eighteen hundreds…

L: Fucking fish.

R: …and let’s say they got up to some questionable activities.

A: Anything I should be worried about?

R: Well…

A: I did travel here by interdimensional portal and that’s just a bit… off-putting? It’s very convenient, but…

L: Swimming, having gills…

R: I took the train.

L: Just breathe air, you little shits!

A: Did they not offer you an interdimensional portal, then?

R: No, they did, I just said I’d rather take the train.

A: How was it?

R: Not bad. It was made of meat, though. The train. Smooth ride. Turns out meat is an excellent shock absorber, just not very practical. There was a flock of ravens trying to eat us the whole way.

A: That’s… a bit odd.

L: Brian Phelps.

R: Brian Phelps is made of meat?

L: No, Brian Phelps is a fucking fish. [shouting, too close to mic again] You’re not fooling anyone, Brian! God, I could go for some salami. Is there any salami in the meat bouquet?

R: There is definitely not any salami in the meat bouquet.

L: I’m gonna make myself a sandwich!

[scraping sound, footsteps, door opens and closes]

A: It’s nice having a studio, though.

R: It’s not bad. I like these chairs with the wheels. Good lumbar support. How was the portal?

A: Terrifying, but brief. Very brief. It materialised right under me in the dairy aisle of Tesco’s, then I was in this howling green tunnel for about five seconds, and then I was here. On the one hand, I didn’t have to show my passport or go through security, but on the other hand, I’m just slightly concerned I might have cancer. Or a prion disease. [nervous laugh] Or maybe I’ll turn into a fish person. Did you mean literal fish people?

R: Yes.

A: I suppose… Someone got very lonely and fucked a fish, or…?

R: Yes.

A: What? Are you being serious? What kind of a fish… Do you mean mermaids?

R: No. In fact, mermaids have a notorious design flaw when it comes to sexual congress with us human types. What you’re after, as a lonely sailor, is an animal known as the “reverse-mermaid,” which is widely regarded as a joke, and depicted as the head and torso of a fish, with human legs, and presumably genitalia, underneath… [drawing a reverse-mermaid on the slide, with the mouse, badly] But which is in fact more of an elder god by the name of Dagon, which does indeed have legs and genitalia, but is more of a fully-anthropomorphic monstrous fish. [drawing monstrous legs and feet] He’s a bit larger and taller. Here, I’ll put a “D” for Dagon. [draws arrow] And the rest of him is up there.

A: As a lonely sailor myself, I don’t see how something like that is any more fuckable than a regular fish. Or a manatee. Frankly, I’d rather fuck a manatee. At least it’s a mammal.

R: Yeah, but you’d be violating the Endangered Species Act.

A [laughing]: I’m sorry, aren’t they endangered? We want them to fuck! You told me to save the manatees, well I’m out there doing it! And then I’m going to save the whales!

R: Debatable whether creating a race of half-human, half-manatee hybrids is saving the species…

A: Are you some kind of fucking manatee eugenicist? If the manatee and I are both consenting adults, and we fancy each other, then leave us the fuck alone! This is how evolution works!

R: In the mind of Donald Trump, yes.

[door opening and closing]

D [text over slide]: I COULD EDIT THAT OUT BUT I’M TOO TRAUMATISED AND DRUNK.

L: You guys… Is that supposed to be a fucking fish?

R: No. It’s the legendary reverse-mermaid.

L: Well, I only respect half of it! Here. The meat bouquet started screaming when I cut into it, so I grabbed some doughnuts. 

A: Oh, are there doughnuts? The meat bouquet has a way of…

L: You didn’t hear it?

R: The meat bouquet?

A: …of arresting one’s attention…

L [excited]: The soundproofing in here is fucking incredible!

D [text over slide]: IN RETROSPECT, THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN A RED FLAG.

A: Out of sheer, morbid curiosity, did the doughnut scream?

L: Doughnuts don’t scream.

R: Do the doughnuts scream in… in the UK?

A: …No, not usually. Perhaps, perhaps on the continent, but not usually in Britain. They’re very stuffy and well-behaved.

L: And transphobic.

A: Of course.

L: Do you want one of these?

A: Er, I rather think… I’d better not eat or drink anything until another portal opens up and sends me home. Just in case this is a Persephone sort of situation…

R: Probably a good idea.

L: Low blood sugar kills, Alice. [muffled, chewing]

R: You’ll wind up married to Hades and having to spend six months out of the year in Massachusetts.

L: I’m spending twelve months out of the year in this studio, I don’t care if it’s in Massachusetts. If I have to, I will marry Hades twice.

R: Nah, you see, that’s not legal in Massachusetts. You’d be in a bigamous relationship with yourself.

L: Well, then one of you has to do it. Daddy needs his new mic. These chairs are awesome too!

[rumbling, squeaking]

A: I’m already in a very committed relationship with the Mothman, actually. We go around collapsing bridges and making appearances just out of camera frame. It’s quite fun.

R: Alice is actually a cryptid wanted across several New England states.

A: Yes, I’d like very much to get back to it, and not get cancer or die! [nervous laughter] Ah, shall we get on with the episode?

L: I’m never leaving this studio. You will pry this microphone from my cold, dead hand.

A: Intros? Did we do intros?

R: It’s a bonus episode, they already know us.

D [text over slide]: HONESTLY IF WE’D JUST DONE THE INTROS, IT WOULD’VE SAVED US A LOT OF TROUBLE.

A: Right…

R: But we do have [news drop] the God Damn News.

Part 2 will be another post, give me a minute and I'll link it...

[Image Description: first image: a banner that says "Adopt-A-Native-Elder". Above these words is art of two hands, in two different shades of brown skintone, reaching out towards each other with a black and white feather in between them. Above the two hands and feather is an arched rainbow with a black hollow circle in the middle, right over the feather.

Second image: A pair of turquoise earrings. Each earring has a small circular piece of silver-lined turquoise with a larger piece of more oval turquoise lined in silver, dangling from a hinge to the circular turquoise. At the bottom of the oval piece is a silver decoration that looks like a bursting star.

Third image: a white woven necklace against an all-black torso display. Woven into the left of the necklace are small brown beads interspersed with what look to be turquoise beads. Woven into the right side of the necklace is a yellow flower with a long green stem planted in a brown pot with red and black zigzags, surrounded by woven pops of color in blue, purple, and red. Beneath the flower scene is woven a large brown canyon set against an orange setting sun.

Fourth image: art (perhaps woven? Unable to tell on my phone) of another, different canyon scene, this one of multiple cliffs and dips in darker brown against a pale orange and yellow sunset. Above and below the canyon scene is a black jagged border with purple stripes evening it out, followed by a light gray border with hourglass-like shapes with single horizontal lines going through them, in black, green, red, pink, and blue.

Fifth image: a similar pair of earrings to the first, only the gem is green and brown. End I.D]

With the summer heat rolling in I really wanted to take a moment and highlight a program I am a big fan of, A.N.E.

"Adopt-A-Native-Elder (A.N.E.) serves to help reduce extreme poverty and hardship facing traditional Elders living on the Navajo Reservation. A.N.E. is a trusted humanitarian organization focused on delivering food, medical supplies, firewood and other forms of Elder support. Respecting the tradition and dignity of Navajo Elders, we create relationships and honor and serve the Elders. The Program is organized in the Native American Spirit of the Giveaway Circle. The Giveaway Circle has a tradition of giving the best that we have. That may be a gift of time, talents or skills, or actual gifts of food and donations. When asked what the boxes of food meant to her, Ruth Benally explained that they were like "miracles from the sky." The miracle is the letters and gifts that arrive from people that they don't know and may never meet. For over 30 years, Adopt-A-Native-Elder has used an integrated approach to go beyond charity to assist indigent Elders on the Navajo Reservation in Utah and Arizona."

A.N.E also puts on an annual rug show & sale, you can read about last years here. Apart from their annual events they also host an online shop where you can buy jewelry, woven baskets, and elder made rugs. All proceeds go towards providing support for our elders be it food, medical assistance, firewood, weaving supplies and so much more.

Not in the market for beautifully made Indigenous crafts? Well they also accept general donations, buy specific items for elders in need, food certificate sponsors, rug show sponsors, and of course adopting an elder.

hi sorry may i ask what happened with the user with the young lenin screenshot ? if you dont want to explain dw its fine im just curious and confused

oh i phrased the caption too vaguely, the person in the screenshot is just a rando that added something stupid onto an existing post, the op of that post is the one that has me blocked

under the cut is my impassionate recounting of some stupid ass tumblr drama from ages ago that noone should reignite and PLEASE DONT GO BULLY OP none of this matters in any way and it's been many many years. anyway

cw for brief mentions of homophobia and strange behaviour towards minors

op of the post (gaud) was involved in some stupid drama ages ago that consisted of ppl calling them out for homophobia (kinda warranted but eh), soliciting explicit drawings and fanfic from minors (which did happen, they didn't target minors specifically but their following was mostly made up of minors), and ebegging for rent money which they then spent on champagne. what makes the last thing even funnier is that they did this by eating a ton of crayons on a livestream. they mostly got flack for this coz like i said earlier most of their followers were minors and thus most of the ppl donating were (or were assumed to be) minors. and also coz they didn't spend the money on what they said they would. and also coz they filmed themselves eating crayons on stream.

now in hindsight these callouts mainly happened because people found them annoying and wanted a reason to hate them like i do think these all deserve criticism but also lowkey who gives a shit. this is tumblr. i still think they're annoying but the whole callout was very much a product of its time coz everyone was obsessed with doing callouts back then. OH EDIT. ALSO. someone made an anti gaud blocklist lmfaooo i did not make it on there despite literally being blocked by gaud for posting abt the drama. but whatever. thats fine. i dont even care. whatever. sniffles. shuffles feet. whatever. kicks rock

im not saying what they did was ok or wasn't ok im saying i don't care at all coz i go outside now and usually if i see their posts i just scroll past coz i love having fun and i don't like getting annoyed but the addition i posted made me laugh really hard. i cant even decide what's funnier someone (especially someone insinuating they're a communist) confusing stalin and lenin or someone genuinely thinking young lenin is sexually appealing. anyway sorry to everyone who read this you could've used this space in your mind for many many better things but now it's gonna have this in there instead

Chapter 1 right here

Prologue

Most may think of Levi Ackerman as humanities strongest soldier and the most honorable man alive, not to mention undeniably handsome. Though, almost everyone is unaware that he is not just that, but a sadist, a debt collector, a sexually unsatisfied human who longs for his true value in life. Everyone in the kingdom knows well not to mess with King Levi Ackerman, whom is constantly high on the power he never asked for. He also works as a caption in the Scout Regiment to help humanity find the true meaning behind the titans, which sometimes, he prefers doing then being a king. Is being an estranged king to a throne he never wanted his true purpose in life? Is there more to him than just this? 

He inherited his throne by his distant and estranged uncle Kenny Ackerman, whom abdicated his throne due to rumors of his sociopathy and murderous habits. Levi Ackerman, a 25 year old boy who had unknowingly been the heir of the land and walls that lived above him. After his two dearest friends, Isabel and Farlan were killed, he had no choice or care in the world but to inherit the throne and become the true King of the Walls. Luckily, he had help with running a kingdom with the help of the Scout Regiment leaders, Hange Zoe and Erwin Smith, as well as many others that helped him keep his sanity stable. 

For years, Levi was a decent king. He helps feed the hungry, he helps fund the scout regiment into looking for what was beyond just giant humanoids eating people mindlessly, he helps keep the peace within the walls from what lies beyond them, if there is any peace left at all. One other thing he does, though, is collect debts from those that have wronged him. 

In the year 843, two years before the fall of wall Maria, Levi still is undefeated and not threatened by the status of his reign. He lives a stable life with low rank maid girls occasionally at his doorstep for him to have sex with and be done with it. His advisors for years now, have been attempting to encourage their king to marry a highborn girl and produce his heirs. Though, every rich, highborn girl that he had come to be introduced to was rejected. His closest colleagues, Hange and Erwin, slowly questioned if he would end up getting married at all. Levi only seemed to care about his job as a captain in the Scouts rather than his job as a monarch. 

King Levi Ackerman is many things, but one thing he is strongly, is a debt collector, to those who have stolen or took advantage of his money and power for the time he has been in power as the king. Levi makes sure that his power is not taken advantage of, and most of the time, those who have end up dead or regretting their decision to defy their King. One man within wall Rose absolutely questions how patient of a man Levi can be, and his name is Dan Reiss. Dan Reiss is known to be a well off noble man with a good fortune due to his family history, though nobody alive knows much about the Reiss family other than they have been known to be more rich to their liking. Dan Reiss, known to be a struggling alcoholic and gambler, has made the mistake of owning a tremendous amount of money to many higher ups within the kingdom, and eventually, he owed money to the King. Dan Reiss is most likely not going to like what happens to him or to his estate and the money he last left, but what happens when Levi himself sees that Dan Reiss has a 19 year old daughter who is very much innocent and untouched?

Keep reading to find out :)

[This story is the same timeline and plot as Attack on Titan, except- Levi Ackerman is the king of the walls. The main character is Historia Reiss' older cousin, there will be other characters in this story that I have created as well. This story will contain strong smut, mentions of rape, and lots of mature content, minors please do not interact. This book was inspired by a writer and a story that I can no longer find access to unfortunately, as well as my love for Game of Thrones and Attack on Titan obviously ;) Proof read, if you find any errors please let me know!

Pikmin Fandom Monthly: February 2023

Welcome to the first edition of Pikmin Fandom Monthly! This is just a little monthly series I'd like to do where on the first day of each month, I share neat fan projects from the pikmin fandom made in the previous month! For this I will be focusing on creative projects (so no analysis or theories, at least for now). For this first edition, all entries will be ones that I have found and enjoyed but in the future I hope to have some that were recommended to me as well! (Most of these entries are from Tumblr as a result, oops.) No images or snippets will be posted to these: all entries will be links to where the artists have posted the original work!

Please feel free to leave suggestions in the comments about how to handle this series in the future and of what March 2023 works should be included in the next edition! Any creative pikmin fan work is welcome, so long as it was made during this March.

This will also be cross-posted to Pikmin Park!

With all that out of the way, here are our categories!

Multi-Page Fan Comics and Visual Ask Blogs

We only have one of these for this month, that being Pikmin x Weirdcore - a visual ask blog over on Tumblr! It's fairly surreal, but it's been a lot of fun thus far! Olimar, Louie, and the Koppaites have all crashed on PNF-404 (again) and have been separated (again). This time, however, it seems a beast that is other-worldly even to PNF-404 is after them now. Quick warning, the artist has stated that there will be violence, glitchy imagery, and body horror in this one!

Fan Art and One Page Comics

Aka the largest collection I've gathered this month!

Firstly is Professor Pikton by Buttery Cuties! A purple pikmin dressed up like Professor Layton to celebrate the upcoming games in both franchises, how cute!

Corromon drew this Olimin, which simply looks great! Poor Olimar certainly needs a hug, though.

Higgy also drew Olimar - two Olimars, in fact! The sketchy style and expressions are very pleasing to look at, and I adore his little boots.

Next up, Alph (rightfully) worries over Louie's eating habits in this short comic by Cirtus. The style closely resembles how the characters look in-game, which is a very nice cherry on top of how sweet and charming this two-panel comic is.

SparrowOvO drew this amazing art of a baby snagret sitting with a very spooked ice pikmin. I don't even know where to start with this one - the colors, lighting, texturing, and expressions are all just so good. This may easily be my favorite out of this month's fan art!

Zombunny drew three of our four new leaders with Oatchi! They're all so adorable, and this looks great (as for where our unnamed bald friend is, he is reportedly in jail for tax evasion, among other crimes. (For legal reasons, this is a joke.))

This next entry is apparently older art, but it wasn't posted until this February, so here's this really cool idea for a phosbat variant: the Beguiling Phosbat by vehemoth-phosbitch! This beautiful little beast can withstand sunlight and is based more so on the luna moth (and maybe the flying fox as well, but I may be wrong).

Louivi drew this gorgeous piece simply captioned as Smokey Progg. The colors, the textures, it's all so good an so very haunting. Perfect for the little horror that is the smokey progg in game!

And last but certainly not least is the only piece of fan art that didn't come from Tumblr: this beautiful art of all four of our new leaders hanging out, made by Porinu! They all look adorable, each with their own pose! I particularly like how our unnamed pink friend looks - she seems so curious and even innocent to a degree.

Fanfiction and Written Ask Blogs

Once again, I only have one piece for a category. This time, it is Safe in A Father's Embrace written by PiperRose90. This story may be very short, but it is also very sweet! Olimar must make sure that Louie and Alph will be okay for the night - they are practically his sons now, after all!

Other Works

Firstly is this amazing little sculpture of a pyroclasmic slooch by Tete's DIY! This video shows their process for making the little sculpture from start to finish - including how they made the "fire" really glow!

Creative Sushi did this wonderful little cosplay of the Hocotate Freight Ship! It looks fantastic, and all of the little details really show how much love and effort went into the creation of this cosplay.

Kevin Fagaragan animated this adorable concept for a pikmin 4 ending - don't worry, there's no spoilers! Just overwhelming cuteness as the pikmin hang out and dance with Oatchi.

And to wrap all of this up is yet another animation! In Wooden Turtle's Do Not Pet the Baby Snagrets, not even Olimar can resist how adorable these new additions to the pikmin planet are! But, ah, it seems that leads him into a bit of trouble...

Thanks for sticking around until the end! I hope I get to do more of this in the future, I really want to be able to show off what the fanbase can do! Please, give any and all of the artists featured here a follow - and feel free to suggest works to be featured next month! I'll see you on April 1st with the best of what March had to offer (with minimal fooling around... probably).

Enough, I want to be me, I want to be Lexie <3

OK enough is enough. I discovered the world of sissies over 5 years ago and I've been fighting it every day since.

At first it was fantasy. Excitement like I'd never felt before. Little by little I immersed myself in this world, and I feel like I've sunk into it, body and soul now.

At first, I hung out on tumblr, then reddit. Little by little I discovered blogs and online mistresses. Then a lot of pornographic games. Almost every day I watch porn videos of this kind: sissy, hypno, femdom, prejac, brainwash, CEI, JOI, BBC, Beta, bimbo, ...... and so on. At first, I was shy, no more than 10min, all activities included... then 1h, then 2 then 3, then 10.... Now I don't count the hours. I no longer count the number of missed workdays, the number of weekends spent entirely on this...

I've explored and am exploring this world more and more. I started shyly with fantasies, then sex toys, then underwear and clothes, make-up... Then, as time went by, my behavior changed...  When I see a pretty woman, I imagine her as a mistress, feminizing me, humiliating me, using me, and I'm on the verge of begging her to do all that to me... When I see a man, I see myself submitting to him, all of me... I wet myself instantly...

I've created a character, a double life for myself over the last 5 years, Lexie. And I have the impression that this person, this self that I thought was a fantasy, looks more and more like my true self, the ideal that I should be.

I'm tired of fighting every day to hold her back, fighting not to give in to Lexie. But she takes over most of the time now. I can't work anymore, I spend hours changing, getting ready, making myself beautiful and sexy... then I masturbate my clit frantically or fuck my ass all day in front of all this sissy and feminization content. In fact, I now spend most of my time wearing feminine underwear, a plug in my butt, videos/photos/captions in my computer background and brainwashing soundtracks/audio in my headphones. My role models have changed, I fantasize about female and trans pornstars not to fuck them but to look like and obey them. How I long to look like them, to be them... My life is getting pinker and pinker. I'm becoming obsessed with this color.

I'm tired of fighting my sexuality. Heterosexual pleasures no longer suit me. I need toys in my anus, my chastity cage, to eat my sperm, I need to obey and be degraded, to please and only to give pleasure to the other... My first anal orgasm was a real revelation... It sealed my fate I think.... Before that I began to be obsessed over JOI, Hypno and CEI content, the ultimate fantasy. It took me a while but I can't go without sperm anymore... I organize myself to eat my sperm every time and just thinking about it makes me hard and produce precum. I've done it in every way possible and unimaginable and cumming on my face, in my mouth and especially playing with it excites me and makes me cum blow after blow.... I even began to obey all the goddesses and mistresses I saw; I can no longer resist them...

I'm tired of fighting, I'm tired, I don't feel like resisting anymore. Several times I've got scared and tried to stop everything, to throw away all my feminine clothes, my toys and to stop looking at this content on the internet... in vain, each time I start again and I start even harder.

So, it's decided, it's enough, I give up, I surrender to these desires. I think I have to be Lexie, once and for all. I've just made the biggest order I've ever made, the whole lot, several wigs, dozens of items of underwear, clothes, shoes, beauty products, sex toys, ... everything, everything that made me fantasize. I'm thinking of quitting my job to have more time to explore this life... I'm taking the plunge; I'm diving into this unknown ... If ever people are ready to help me blossom, I welcome them with pleasure and greed (sissy, mistresses, guides, models ...) I want to get there, it's my life goal, my future.  Whether it's to chat, share advice, messages, photo and video content, orders, exercises, .... I want to get a little further down this rabbit hole and if you want, we can go together, I'm open... I just want to get there as soon as possible and enjoy this life as Lexie...

I fucking love TeX

Professional graphic designers like to think they're pushing the world of typography forward, but they're delusional—the real heroes are all the middle-aged dudes on the TeX User Group making typefaces and packages for TeX's many distributions.

Do you honestly think scientists use InDesign? Please, we have better things to spend grant money on—we use TeX (and some use Word and get other people to do the TeX for them). We program our documents and we like it.

Oh what's that? Adobe's charging you a shitload of fuck every month to keep using their shitty page layout software? Oh me? I just downloaded a professional bit of software for free, along with like 10 Gb worth of extra packages for free. The source code? Oh yeah, I can edit that too.

And TeX does exactly what you tell it—no fucking stupid Office/InDesign "oh you're clicking this button so I'll destroy your whole document" bullshit, no stupid AI grammar checker, no long menus, no dialogue trees, no using all your computer's resources. Just type in your command and you're done. If I want to put a picture in a document at the top of a page, all I need to do is

\begin{figure}[t]

\includegraphics{foo}

\caption{Eat my ass, Adobe!}

\end{figure}

The best part is using pandoc with LaTeX, so you don't have to do much programming at all, you just type a markdown document—which is so easy to do it's supported on tumblr—and tell pandoc to make it a PDF. You can program your own templates and everything, it's just wonderful. I use XeTeX with pandoc, so I can use OpenType and TrueType fonts, and get all their cozy features, without using Word or some shit.

TeX also has the best math typesetting, bar none. If you're doing any kind of stuff with math at all, you're going to use TeX without question—if you've ever been on a forum with a bunch of nerds that has a math typesetting thing, that's TeX right there.

And want to know something else? People think you're goddamn Alan Turing for typing shit up in TeX. People think you might as well be Jesus Christ, son of Tony fucking Hawk for typing "\emph{foo}" in your document.

In some ways TeX is even easier than HTML—you don't have to remember how to use all those stupid XML tags, you just do \foo for your commands, and play with brackets, and that's it.

If you've never tried it, I highly suggest you play around with TeX for a bit. Overleaf has some wonderful documentation for TeX—specifically LaTeX—and you can use their free website to learn TeX without installing anything on your computer.

Citations? Oh yeah, TeX does that. If you use a plain TeX distribution, BibLaTeX is your best friend—it's easy to use, super powerful, and handles your citations automatically from a bibliography file—you can just use Zotero to manage your bibliography and research, then export your bibliography to a BibLaTeX file. If you're using pandoc, it can do CSL citations, which means you can really easily find, say, MLA, Chicago/Turabian, and niche journal citation styles. It is literally a godsend—you can just type in "\cite{foo}" (TeX) or "[@foo]" (pandoc) and cite your source.

If you've never done it before, by god consider trying TeX. I can't say it's easy—the time you save not doing GUI bullshit will be spent reading documentation—and the learning curve is high, but it's so worth it in the end.

There will be headaches learning it, you will struggle to know what "overfull hbox" means; you will struggle to remember the names of a few symbols; you will, by god, misalign brackets, or use square brackets where you should have used curly braces. But in the end it all works, it all comes together almost divinely.

What I suggest for new learners is to get the TeX basics down first, then transition to pandoc and make your own TeX template to use—it will give you the necessary TeX experience to make something that works good, and eventually help you save a lot of time.

"Oh, I don't like the gross ones," Alexander J Newall says before casually subjecting Helen, Alasdair, and all of chat to the concept of a Shite-ner.

Video description/captions below the readmore

[ID: a clip from Rusty_Quill's "The Magnus Archives 2 Kickstarter Pre-Launch!" Twitch Livestream. On screen are Alexander J Newall, Helen Gould, and Alasdair Stuart.

Helen: I've got a gross one. It's from Teresa-

Alex: Oh, I don't like the gross ones, alright.

Helen: "How did Leitner use the bathroom all those years he was living in the tunnels? I don't need a Word of God answer since I like my headcanon, but how did you envision him dealing with that when you wrote him?"

Alex: Oh, dead easy!

Helen: ... Just shat everywhere?

Alex: Don't be gross!

Helen and Alasdair: [laughing]

Alex: Creepy book.

As he says this, an edited cover of "Everyone Poops" briefly appears on screen. It has the insignia that reads "From The Library of Jurgen Shite-ner".

Helen: What?

Alex: Creepy book!

Everyone Poops from the Library of Jurgen Shite-ner appears once again.

Helen: He's got a book of poo? [dissolves into laughter]

Alex: He's got a book, right? Uh, and this is- this is not canon, god, no, but he's got this book, right? And what's its Creepy Thing? Well it eats anything that's-

Alasdair: [holds up a handwritten sign that says "4 LEGAL PURPOSES"]

Helen, overlapping, distraught: No! Alex!

Alex: -put between it's pages-

Helen: Alex, no!

Alex: Job done! That'd work! Creepy book!

Once again the same book briefly appears.

Helen: No!!!

Alex: It's- it's- it's Leitner.

Alasdair: [puts away the sign]

Alex: The majority of his problems are solved with some form of creepy book!

The book flashes onscreen one last time.

Helen: No! [dissolves into laughter]

Alex: Jonny will never forgive me. Actually, chat, please don't tell Jonny I said that.

[Woe is Me, on the world's smallest violin, begins to play]

Alex: He will never forgive me.

Helen: Ohhhh...

Alex: That i- that is unacceptable digression.

Helen: Oh, no...

A screenshot of Jonny's Tumblr post (username jonnywaistcoat) from October 30th, which was posted approximately 1 hour and 49 minutes after these words were said, fades into view. It reads:

"It is with a heavy heart that I must announce that the Magnus fandom is full of fuckin snitches

#lotta you messaging me about shit alex said #and this is a no snitch zone"

Alex: Am I wrong?

Helen: Yes!

宮野真守様, of your extensive, multifaceted, and celebrated career, I know my time as a fan has been only but a fraction of the time you have dazzled us all with your talents as a seiyuu, singer, and performer.

In this past year, you have floored me, consistently, with all that you are, all that you do, all that you have been, and all that you can be. I am so grateful to have come to know someone as special as you.

To say you’ve changed my life feels…………far too reductive. The amount of warmth and light you bring me all day, every day, gives me so much strength and courage to follow my heart and my dreams and push myself further to be the best version of me. For that, I am…eternally grateful.

あなたは私の光り輝く星です – you deserve the world and more, you beautiful man, inside and out.

お誕生日おめでとう、マモちゃん！ Happy 34th, Mamo!!

I hope today you are surrounded by the people who you hold dearest, doing the things that you cherish, and feeling all of the love you have given to us radiating back to you. I can’t wait to see where your journey takes you, and I hope, from here on out, that I get to be there with you every step of the way.

Tw: ED (I hope it's not triggering and I'm sorry if it is, please don't respond if you don't want to and stay safe💛)

Unpopular opinion: ED blogs shouldn't be banned because they're often the only venting space those people have. Also, nobody gets an ED by looking at pictures. If you're that easily influenced, perhaps the internet is not a good place for you.

hmmm kinda disagree, while venting about mental illness (which eating disorders are) is fine and a-okay but when they start posting "ana tips" and talking about how its only possible to be pretty if you're skinny is when it crosses a line. and you're right that nobody gets an ED by looking at pictures but its what accompanies the pictures, often captions about starving and tips on how to lose weight, it reinforces the message society already gives which is: "be skinny".

I was deep into the pro ana side of tumblr and while it didn't necessarily cause my anorexia, looking for that community catapulted me into a dangerous place where all my thoughts were validated and I was told they were correct, it fostered the competition that so often accompanies eating disorders, I learned tips and tricks on how to make myself sicker. its a very unhealthy place to be so while venting is fine, it becomes dangerous when people are looking for community and end up finding themselves in an environment and community that only encourages them to be sicker. if people are truly only venting and wanna share those images, they should set up a private blog where it really is only for them, and where people who are already vulnerable can't stumble across it
