Time to get SPOOKY!

@bloodboundismylife and I are pleased to announce that we are hosting our very first Choices Horror Fest!

This event will go on for the entire duration of October, with each week being allocated a list of prompts and a designated book/series to coincide with them.

We are currently in the process of deciding which prompts we are going to go with, but the books have already been selected.

An official prompt list will be out in the coming days, followed shortly by the rules and guidelines surrounding what we can accept.

Should anyone have any questions surrounding this event, please do not hesitate to ask either of us - we're more than happy to help!

But until then - have a wonderful weekend!

Here you go! 🎉

I don't know who needs to hear this but you don't need to beat yourself up over the fact that you're thinking about stuff like a camp Halfblood au of your ocs instead of "actually working" on your wip.

I actually encourage you to think those thoughts through!

Let them run around freely in your head because when they come to a halt you might just have learned something about your characters, their dynamics and their world, you may even find the solution to that plothole or the answer to that question that has plagued you.

Imagine your character's future to find out how they would act in a different phase of their lives so that you can write their present self in a way that leads to this future self. Think about what music your high fantasy character would listen to if they were in a coffee shop au. Figure out what Hogwarts house your ocs would be sorted in and if their relationships would change or stay the same. Create that alternate timeline where the best friends are on opposite sides and think about the consequences this would have for the world around them. Age up your characters just for fun and see where that takes you. Think about memes that a future fanbase could make about your work like a "[insert wip name] but as vines" YouTube video. Decide who of your ocs would say what if you see one of those fake quote posts or textpost memes on here.

All of that is information and context, all of this association helps you get a grip of that idea in your head, it helps you get a feeling of who your characters are, what your world is and what your story needs and wants to be. If you don't put pressure and restrictions on yourself and allow yourself to explore stuff freely without wanting results you often get them anyways, that's part of the creative process.

Since Elon has actually fucked up Twitter completely, here’s a set of guidelines for the new Twitter Escapees running to Tumblr:

The gays are ALWAYS accepted here. You don’t like that? Too bad, go to FaceBook. Tumblr is THE gayest site on the planet.

Adhere by our “no p*rnography” rule. We don’t want any On*yf*ans links being advertised here. Keep that scum on Twitter and Reddit, we don’t want that here.

Learn our holidays and our events and you’ll do fine. We have a special event every thursday called “out of touch thursday” and we even have the weekly “Thank Gnome it’s Friday” meme every Friday. (you know the one. that’s reblogged every friday.)

Don’t worry about appealing to an audience. People will like your posts and reblog anything you say here. You can literally say “Meep morp” or something random and it’ll be a banger post.

Please for the love of all that exists do NOT insult someone else here for being gay, trans, etc. We accept everyone here so long as they aren’t a p*do, r*pist, etc. If you have standards we’ll accept you.

I think I got enough rules out of the way for now. If anyone else has anything to say feel free to add them on for the Twitter Escapees.

March Madness

March means that it is basketball season! For those who don't know, March Madness is a single-elimination tournament of 68 basketball teams compete in seven rounds for the national championship. Brackets are often a fun way to guess who is going to win. You don't know anything about basketball? That is okay! Most brackets that do better are done by the people who pick a winner based off of random things, like which team color they like better or what mascot is going to win in a fight.

I thought it would be fun if a bunch of swifties pretended to know something about sports and do a bracket!

This is the sign up link if you want to join!

Hey guys. I know I don't come on here often, but I need some help. My childhood dog is in need of an emergency surgery, without it I'm going to lose her. She means the absolute world to me and both my siblings. I created a gofundme for her vet bills. If you can give anything to help my pup out, I'd really appreciate it.

PSA about flat face dogs

Mostly talking about Frenchies but this also applies to Bulldogs and Pugs, and other flat faced breeds.

Flat faced dogs are really unhealthy and have breathing problems, eating problems, and eye problems. Their existence is inhumane. They live terrible lives and have alot of heath problems beacuse of inbreeding and overbreedding. That happens in alot of popular purebred dogs, but it's worse for flat faced dogs. What makes me the maddest is that Frenchies were the most popular akc recognized breed last year. This is really bad. They are the most unhealthy dog breed to live, and it is important to know that.

I'm not trying to tell you that if you own one you are an animal abuser, just do not buy them firsthand or god forbid breed them. If you knew about this and still got a Frenchie, Pug, Bulldog, ect firsthand, then you're a bad person.

Alright people…it’s A N G R Y time! 😡

A boy was kicked out of a New Jersey movie theater after using the bathroom with his mom. This instantly made me angry because some people with high support needs do need help using the bathroom sometimes.

According to this report:

The incident began when Gallinaro’s son needed to use the bathroom and she took him into the women’s restroom. There is no family restroom at the Cinemark in Hazlet, according to the lawsuit.

“My son is not equipped to go into a men’s bathroom in a public setting alone,” Gallinaro told NJ Advance Media last week. “I took him to the women’s bathroom.”

There were other women in the restroom, some of them mothers, she said.

“Right away, they see he’s with me. They pick up why he’s in the bathroom with me,” she said, noting that she noticed one woman “looking at me smiling.”

The 59-year-old manager of the movie theater wasn’t as understanding, the suit alleges.

The manager angrily approached and “shouted blatantly discriminatory remarks” toward the mother and the 15-year-old, the lawsuit alleges.

“A grown man should not be in the women’s restroom,” the manager said in the crowded lobby, according to the suit. “This is not a transgender bathroom.”

Even though there were no other complaints, the manager allegedly ordered the Gallinaros off the property and directed an assistant manager to call the police, the suit states.

This is complete discrimination. Please reblog this to help spread the word. This can’t keep happening.

REPLICA'S PATREON IS FINALLY HERE!

You’ve asked for it and now that I am back I can finally put some wonderful treats up on my brand new Patreon including a sneak peek to the next Replica update, some sketches, and Part 1 of a short story focused on Replica Donnie:

"The Road to Hell is Paved with Good Data"

It centers around Donnie's journey towards becoming the powerhouse we know in Replica as well as the drastic steps he takes in the early months of the Krang invasion to achieve his lofty goals.

NOTE: I highly recommend signing up on a browser or desktop (not on an iPhone) due to extra fees that were recently applied.

2ND NOTE: while some things such as the Replica page WIP will eventually make their way onto my Tumblr, the sketches and these short stories will stay exclusive to Patreon for the time being. This is because most of the content on my Patreon will be focusing on sensitive themes of war, a deeper look into the characters, and maybe even a bit of romance. All things I doubt would have been touched on in the Rise canon. So think of it as just extra fluff for readers who want more secret lore from this universe. If any of these themes DO interest you then please consider checking it out HERE! (I might bring it onto Kofi, in the future if people have trouble accessing it.)

Howdy Folks! Please read if you have the time!

This here is Katie LeBlanc. Also known as the Head of Development and an Executive Producer at Watcher Entertainment since the almost beginning.

And this here are her parents. They live in Florida and were affected by Hurricane Helene. Thankfully her parents are ok, but her childhood home is not. Her parents lost everything due to the hurricane. Katie has started a GoFundMe page to raise money for her parents to help aid in rebuilding after this travesty.

The great thing about fandoms is that it’s a community built on love and passion for the content made. Another way to show love is, if you have the resources, is to help those that provide/produce content that puts a smile on our faces.

Even $1 can go a long way, but if you are unable to donate: reblog.

Please share this post to spread the word.

if you want to help keep trump out of office PLEASE consider volunteering, having people in there keeping voting honest is so crucial in these times

Auditions have been extended until Sept. 14th! I have also changed the form so you do NOT need to record an audition beforehand!

Syzygy Podfic Project Auditions - Second Round!

Are you interested in voice acting, but intimidated by the prospect of a large role? Did you consider auditioning for the Syzygy project before, but didn't because of time constraints? Are you just finding out about this project now and wishing you had discovered it sooner so you could be a part of it?

Well, you're in luck, because the Syzygy Podfic Project is in need of extra voices to fill out our cast! There are dozens of minor roles that are perfect for anyone hoping to dip their toes into voice acting in a large project!

Find the audition information here!

Make sure to only submit the form once you are confident in your recording! Only the first submission will be accepted, so take your time and get the best take you can before submitting!

Tips for recording your audition:

Record in a small space that's insulated - a closet can work very well, as the clothes can minimize the echo and avoid too many outside sounds.

Make sure you are the proper distance from your microphone - this can take some testing and trial and error!

Have your microphone resting on a flat surface, don't attempt to move it while recording.

Don't be afraid to do multiple takes and only pick your favorite ones!

Audacity is a free audio recording software that is very intuitive for a beginner to use, if you're looking for a recording program.

Feel free to send an ask if you have any questions!
