“It makes sense why ASGORE took so long to hire a new Royal Scientist. After all, the old one... Dr. Gaster. What an act to follow!” “One day, he vanished without a trace. They say he shattered across time and space.” “Well, I needn't gossip. After all, it's rude to talk about someone who's listening.”

it’s 2024 and i’m drawing undertale fanart of *checks notes* the gaster followers??? yeah sure alright.

((also i know goner kid is monster kid’s sprite but baby alphys intern has my heart))

If you could also add your age range in the tags that would be helpful (no other personal info plz). I’m using the results to help bulk up a research page I need for a uni art project (the brief sucks but it must be done)

It's interesting how the fandom elects this almost feminine identity to both Paul and George but in such totally different ways. It's like Paul is this cutesy naughty schoolgirl you'd have flirty banter with in the church parking lot and George is this weed smoking sex addicted lesbian who'd eat your pussy next to a dumpster behind the McDonald's in a way you'd never quite forget.

Every time LDS kids come to my neighborhood I am so so nice to them. I hope they remember the blue haired lady who was kind, when people try to convince them the outside world is bad and scary. (Also they are always so young! I want to feed them cookies and give them Diana Wynne Jones books or something)

Thank you! Honestly, this sort of kindness can go a really long way, even if it doesn't seem like it at the time.

LDS children and missionaries (and the majority of the latter are barely of age) are often the people who interact the most with non-Mormons on a daily basis, and thus are kind of the "face" of the Church to non-Mormons a lot of the time. As a result, they're frequently the ones who actually experience the brunt of antagonism towards the Church, which only reinforces the distrust they've already been taught to feel towards the rest of the world.

It's not that the Church doesn't deserve this antagonism, but a lot of people seem to take this enormous pride in showing up Mormon teenagers who have spent most of their lives under intense social pressure, instruction, expectation, and close observation from both their peers and from older authorities in the Church (it largely operates on seniority, so young unmarried people in particular tend to have very little power within its hierarchies). Being "owned" for clout by non-Mormons doesn't prove anything to most of them except that their leaders and parents are right and they can't trust people outside the Church.

The fact that the Church usually does provide a tightly-knit community, a distinct and familiar culture, and a well-developed infrastructure for supporting its members' needs as long as they do [xyz] means that there can be very concrete benefits to staying in the Church, staying closeted, whatever. So if, additionally, a Mormon kid has every reason to think that nobody outside the Church is going to extend compassion or kindness towards them, that the rest of the world really is as hostile and dangerous as they've been told, the stakes for leaving are all the higher, despite the costs of staying.

So people from "outside" who disrupt this narrative of a hostile, threatening world that cannot conceivably understand their experiences or perspectives can be really important. It's important for them to know that there are communities and reliable support systems outside the Church, that leaving the Church does not have to mean being a pariah in every context, that there are concrete resources outside the Church, that compassion and decency in ordinary day-to-day life is not the province of any particular religion or sect and can be found anywhere. This kind of information can be really important evidence for people to have when they are deciding how much they're willing to risk losing.

So yeah, all of this is to say that you're doing a good thing that may well provide a lifeline for very vulnerable people, even if you don't personally see results at the time.

Khaire everyone , I have a little question ( I think that's what it is ) , especially to any other Hellenic Polytheists

I don't want to get too much into it but basically my family did something really hurtful to me today , it's been really affecting me and I'm not really sure what to do . I did tell King Zeus about it , since he's like a parental figure to me , but it was a really (for lack of a better word) unprofessional conversation. I was crying and stuttering throughout the entirety of it , not confident about what I was saying and I'm not sure if that's respectful to him or if I should do something more . I didn't really dare to ask for anything since I'm not able to give anything in return right now , especially not in this situation ( my family doesn't know I'm pagan and I don't really want to try and explain it to them since i don't think they'll understand ) . Plus I don't have an altar space for him , I just thought he'd understand and listen , especially because he's been very kind & comforting to me before. But I feel bad for not doing anything more , maybe I should've written down my thoughts instead in a sort of letter to him ? But I'm pretty sure my writing would be terrible and full of mistakes. I'm not sure what I'm asking for either , probably advice?

I'll be honest, I'm not even anywhere near being an active fan, but what this website has done to death note is extremely annoying

me remembering that one time i had to write and publish and actual book for a school project so i created a retelling of romeo and juliet except it was a gay love story and both romeo and juliet (<- who i turned into julien) were both doomed by the narrative and were never supposed to fall in love since their families were on opposite sides of a kingdom and it was a literal masterpiece but when i turned it in for the teacher to read (it had a cover and was laminated and bound and all that) she kind of had a mental break down and said "your writing is excellent and exceeded the standards, but it is too inappropriate for someone your age to read" (i didn't know if the 'inappropriate' part she was talking about was me turning it gay or the amount of blood and gore in the book)

hey uh I've only used airbnb twice because I don't live in America but I'm seeing posts about how hotels are better in every way and while I can't speak to the accuracy of most arguments I'd like to point out the nuance that for people like me having access to a kitchen (something hotels basically never give) is absolutely a requirement if I'm staying more than like one night. The vast majority of food served in hotels and restaurants I can't eat and chances are I won't be able to check in advance if I'm going to run into enough exceptions to not make myself sick (twice I've gotten sick traveling because I wasn't able to find enough foods and spent a week eating like two ingredients, due to unforeseen complications). I need a kitchen or I can't risk going. Kitchenless hotel rooms are an accessibility issue.

I don't really like Drew Tanaka. I don't hate people who like her, though. Instead, I have some personal reasons for hating her: In rereading the first few issues of the lost hero: I've found She reminds me of my elementary school bully. This girl who pushed me around and mocked me and shoved me, all because I spaced out and accidentally stared at her too much. That girl had nearly all the teachers wrapped around her finger, and nobody ever seemed to take my side (besides my parents).

So seeing a popular female who dominates and manipulates and mocks people for the slightest things…it makes me hate her. She calls Piper dumpster Queen. And why? For no apparent reason I can see. She reminds me of my childhood bully, and I hate her.

Dropping things on the floor and somehow physics doesn't exist anymore. Those objects now can and will teleport miles away or into crevasses they shouldn't be able to access, and there's nothing you can do about it.
