Help a college student graduate by answering a survey!!

Hey!! Are you over 18 and in the miraculous fandom? Then this is for you!!

Hi everyone, this is my last semester of uni, and one of my final projects to be able to graduate is to write a scientific paper. I'm writing an article about adult fans of children's animation, specifically Miraculous Ladybug. My goal is to understand what makes adults (like us) want to join fandoms centered around shows aimed primarily at children, and to do that I'd love to hear directly from the source! The survey takes around 10 minutes to answer, it's 100% anonymous and it would help me immensely!

>>Click here for the survey<<

I need at least 30 people to answer, but honestly the more the merrier! I've also made a little thank you gif at the end, so if you see it let me know! If you have any questions feel free to send me an ask, as well!

Please reblog so it can reach more people! Thank you so much!

Please tell me there are more Terry fics coming soon!

There are absolutely more coming but I can't promise it'll be soon. Idk if you're new to my blog, but my muse wants what it wants 💀 I write for multiple ppl and I have multiple series floating around 💀 I really have to get back onto those. 💀

In the meantime, I hope you're searching out other amazing, talented, chefs kiss writers on here who are also writing for him 😮‍💨😮‍💨

I also hope you're leaving comments and reblogs. I'm as shy as they come, but this site will DIE and these amazing BLACK writers will leave because no one leaves comments or reblogs like they should.

You don't have to do anything you're uncomfortable with, but the best way to encourage writers and encourage more fics, is to share that you loved it. Writers spend hours to days to weeks crafting these pieces that you consume in 10-20 mins depending, the very least you can do is tell them that you liked it!

Thats it, that's all we really want. Writers got praise kinks. Pump those babies up and gush about their FREE work on here.

joel: participate in an event to raise funds for Kamala and support the US forces

Alison: the story she shared last year

Danny: a palestinian character but he stays silent

gillian: a character who is supposed to be an activist but remains silent

Yvette: responded to a post minimizing criticism of Biden about what is happening in Palestine

Why do you keep talking about a show that doesn't care about Palestine? They dont care about fans

I don't care about the actors, I care about the characters. Theres a difference between enjoying a show and being a fan of it and being a fan of the actors.

I don't support any of the actors, and I know actors aren't people to idolise as you don't know them, at all. But i still enjoy the show so much, as it's brought me comfort and has helped me understand myself a little bit more.

I feel it's clear unless one of the actors speak about Palestine and support it then I won't support them.

Behind the scenes, American officials also believe there is limited time for Israel to try to accomplish its stated objective of taking out Hamas in its current operation before uproar over the humanitarian suffering and civilian casualties – and calls for a ceasefire – reaches a tipping point. In fact, there is recognition within the administration that that moment may arrive quickly: Some of the president’s close advisers believe that there are only weeks, not months, until rebuffing the pressure on the US government to publicly call for a ceasefire becomes untenable, sources told CNN.

A lot of this pressure — the majority, I would wager — that Biden and US national leaders are getting is the result of people calling their reps, attending protests, writing to their newspapers and generally making themselves heard on this issue. People make a difference, and it's always worth reaching out to your legislators and telling them what you think.

Senators' info is pretty easy to find, since you've got two for every state (even DC and other non-state people have someone they can call!) but sometimes it's a little tricky remembering who your representative is, especially now with the district lines having changed up. So check your address here and then call their office — I've found more luck getting hold of an actual person at their local offices rather than the DC one, fwiw.

My Sunday PSA for ADHD:

I am *constantly* seeing people talk about accidentally doubling up on their meds because they can't remember already taking them - or skipping them altogether just in case they did take them.

Seriously, guys, please think about getting the timer caps for your pill bottles. This has been a lifesaver for me when I grab my bottle to take my meds, remember I need to do something, set it down, and then when I see the pill bottle again I can't remember if I even opened the damn thing. This has happened enough that I can't count the times, and even if I could I wouldn't tell you because really, brain? C'mon.

This thing tells you exactly how long it's been since you opened the bottle and helps to keep you on track. These come in multiple sizes to fit virtually any pill bottle you already have, but they also come with their own bottles (and labels!) on the off chance they don't - and you can find them online easy enough.

Best part is these things can work for multiple people for different reasons. Got a forgetful parent or grandparent and want to make sure they're safe with their meds? Great gift. Have a teen in the home but you smoke weed and want to keep an eye on it? Perfect nug jar. Just curious about how long your adhd meds last before productivity goes down? Perfect timer.

Have teen children and worried they're going to access your Vicodin from that dentist appointment? Have a high fever and can't remember how long it's been since you took your last Tylenol? On day three of a depression streak and can't remember doing anything but staring at the wall? Can't remember how long it's been since your last birth control pill? Great purchase.

Just keep them in an area you are frequently and stop worrying (I keep my adhd meds right next to my computer, and my morning meds next to the sink in the bathroom). Get rid of the am/pm pill containers that no one remembers to fill anyways. Trust me, it is worth it.

In case I've inspired anyone, these are the ones I have, but there are other brands and styles out there from different sites if you don't support Amazon.

Even if it's not for you, please share so that other people see.

Finally updating my commission post! I've grown so much as an artist since then and I had such a fun time putting this all together. It's so fun to see how diverse all my art is now! All the wonderful things I now get to proudly show off!

If you're interested in a commission feel free to DM me or email cobaltwingz@gmail.com !! If you can't commission me, please reblog or share this! It could get me my next payday and allows me to keep creating <3

Of course, if you do message me please be patient and follow basic art commission etiquette! [If you expect me to redo the art after I've already finished the piece expect an extra charge for the time that takes, asking for wips consistently is wonderful! But don't be rude about it, don't expect me to be on my laptop 24/7 to message back right away, etc]

Relationships: Song Lan/Xue Yang, Song Lan/Xiao Xingchen Rating: E Chapters: 7 Word count: 32,255 Main focus tags: Alternate Universe - Modern Setting, university adjacent, mermaid Xue Yang, aquaphobic Song Lan, working through trauma, reframing of canon events, polyamorous main character

Song Lan was born on an island, and he's always loved the sea. But now, due to a traumatic incident that left him unable to speak for years, he has trouble even looking at it. When his university friends end up on that very island, he decides it's time to face his fears and return home. Being able to see his grandmother again is enough to make the trip worthwhile, but there is definitely something lurking beneath the waves— and not just his mind playing tricks on him. With the addition of a curious young islander who seems a little too interested in him, Song Lan doesn't know whether he'll sink or swim.

Written last year during mermay, figure it's time to make a promo now! Seaweed's first chaptered fic! 🧜‍♀️

Help LGBTQ Refugee Survive Camp!!

Hello! I'm Angel! And this is something my friend and moot, @starsinthenigth, told me about!

This is a fundraiser made by a guy called Judas (internet name NervesNebula), he's an American fundraising for his friend, Abdul who's currently in Gorom Refugee Settlement, because he's been the target of anti-LGBTQ+ harassment. For months, he's been relying on Judas alone, but now he needs more money than Judas is able to provide in order to pay for food and shelter. Abdul hopes to start a business so that he doesn't have to rely on me so much, but he needs money to do it!!

This is Abdul story in his own words:

" My name is Abdul and I am reaching out to you with a heavy heart, seeking your compassion, understanding, and support. I am a survivor, an advocate, and a member of the LGBTQ+ community. Today, I want to share with you my story of resilience, courage, and the desperate need for assistance.

Five years ago, I made the painful decision to flee my home country, Uganda, where my sexual orientation made me a target of persecution and discrimination. In search of a safe haven, I embarked on a journey into the unknown, leaving behind everything I held dear. Little did I know that my path would be filled with unimaginable hardships and struggles.

Since arriving in a foreign land in Kenya I faced countless challenges forcing me to flee to South Sudan. I am not just fighting for my own survival, but also for the well-being of other young individuals, especially children, who find themselves in similar circumstances. The weight of responsibility on my shoulders is immense, as I strive to provide them with a glimmer of hope and a chance for a better future.

As I stand before you today, I am compelled to admit that the road has been so hard. I find myself in a very bad state . Basic necessities like food, shelter, and medical care have become luxuries I can no longer afford. Hunger has become my constant companion, and the nights spent in the cold have taken a toll on my health and spirit.

Despite these overwhelming challenges, my determination remains unyielding. I refuse to let despair define my journey. I believe that within every heart, there lies a reservoir of kindness and empathy. It is this belief that gives me the strength to reach out to you, to share my story, and to ask for your support in my fight for survival.

The funds raised through this GoFundMe campaign will be used to address our most immediate needs. They will enable me to secure safe, stable housing, ensuring that the children under my care have a roof over their heads. They will provide nourishing meals, clean water, and access to healthcare, allowing us to regain our strength and vitality. Additionally, these funds will help us create sustainable livelihood opportunities, empowering us to break free from the cycle of poverty and build a brighter future.

Your contribution, no matter the size, will make a profound difference in our lives. It will not only alleviate the suffering we endure but also serve as a beacon of hope, reminding us that compassion and solidarity exist in this world.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for taking the time to read our story and for considering our plea for help.

Your generosity will not be forgotten our spirit of humanity. "
