I’m gonna say like. A few things about the whole da and such stuff. im upset for the writers who have to find new employment and that they can no longer share this world, lore and characters with us in the same capacity. im upset about the corporate choices that lead to this loss, even as i am not surprised by ea making these choices.

am I sad to lose dragon age? not as much as I thought. I do adore dragon age truly—it’s special to me in many ways. but in many ways I don’t connect w it how I used to + as it’s been said, it doesn’t die w the games. there might never be another game, but there will always be writing and art—people who are joyful about this series. they will come and go, love it and hate it, but it’s going to continue to be here

Liam: "Did we really let a Krogan take up residence in our kitchen?”

Vetra: "You say that because you haven't tasted his specialties yet! Do you know what else a Krogan with 1000 years of experience can do? To cook!"

PeeBee: "If he promises not to make me wash the dishes, I'm more than okay with it!"

Drack: "Now shut up you three, and let me prepare the meal! Don't you have anything else to do? Shoo! Get out of my kitchen!"

Jaal: "I'm really curious to try this _pijak_ stew, is that why you keep that animal on the Tempest, Ryder?”

Ryder: "Haha, no. It's not real pijak in the stew, it's just a name. Right Drack? RIGHT?"

Cora: "To be safe, I prefer to continue eating military pre-cooked meals, no offense Drack."

Drack: "I'll be more offended if you don't get out. GET OUT OF MY KITCHEN! OUT!! NOW!!!"

just watching alien resurrection and i think i will make art of ripley and call having gay sex about it

I think what gets me about thylacines is just. How much of myself and others i see in it.

Maybe it’s whacky but I see somthing who’s life is treated as less important because

it’s a monster, a dangerous beast, evil, “Sinful.”

And I look at the way the world looks at me.

how it feels like some people vaule my life less

because I am different I’m queer I’m neurodivergent I’m “sinful”

And I feel a kinda kinship.

But i survived.

the thylacine didn’t survive that view

. They’re gone they didn’t have the means to fight back angainst that like I do.

Their where just animals and I know that.

I don’t have much power in this world and I know that.

I want to do better by them.

I don’t want to forget those who didn’t survive that view.

And the stripes of the thylacine aren’t easy to forget

Hey, where do you think Ryder's parents are? It's been confirmed (though I can't remember where, it was on some kind of social media) that Ryder's parents are around somewhere, but where??? Do you think they approved of him leading a team of rescue pups? I wonder how they react when they hear news about rescues, especially the really dangerous ones. I mean, he's been inside an active volcano (Ultimate Rescue: Pups Save the Tigers) trapped in the Lookout as it was rocketed towards outer space (Mighty Pups tv movie) inside a poorly built and unstable skyscraper during a crazy storm that ultimately collapsed with him still inside (PAW Patrol: The Movie) nearly crushed by a meteor AND a firetruck in the same week (PAW Patrol: The Mighty Movie) dealt with multiple super powered evil doers that threatened the well being of the whole town on SEVERAL occasions (every Mighty Pups episode) and faced off against a fellow kid genius that wanted to and was capable of leveling the whole town and teleporting everyone to the moon in order to turn it into her own city (All Paws On Deck) just to name a few, imagine hearing on the news that your kid went on a life-threatening rescue mission and it's not even the first time and you know it won't be the last, that must be terrifying. You know, Adventure Bay's local news must be crazy. Hold on, in those rescues where all of Adventure Bay was in danger that means Ryder's parents were also at risk, unless they don't live in Adventure Bay which is VERY unlikely, I wonder how Ryder felt about that, must've been scary for him.

Look, ONE THING I CAN SAY FOR SURE. Wherever Ryder's parents are, they SURE AS HELL ARE NOT IN ADVENTURE BAY.

They very probably approved of him becoming a Rescue Team leader, which makes me believe they might be rescuers themselves! This boy couldn't have learned all his rescue knowledge AND everything else he knows on his own without having firsthand experience with at least one thing while studying the others. His parents must be either into vehicle engineering, building engineering or rescues, he's learned one thing by osmosis and the other he had as a hobby until he decided to put the two together and get to work.

But as much as they might have approved of that, I really doubt they live in Adventure Bay or even in Adventure City for that matter.

Guess who wrote a long post again LMAO but you did give me PLENTY fuel for that, SOOOOOO XDDD

First of all, there's exactly this problem of being worried about someone when they put themselves in dangerous situations and it's increased tenfold if it's someone who's closely related to you. For Ryder to be able to work the way he does, he literally can NOT do it anywhere close to his family - he would get worried about them and it would make him possibly lose focus. He already has to worry and care for all his pups, which is a lot of responsibility on his shoulders. If ANYTHING happens to any of the pups, it'll be ON HIS ACCOUNT: He's the one directing them, instructing them on what to do, training them, sending them out in missions and dangerous rescues. He's already responsible for their safety and lives as it is, he can't afford worrying about his family too.

And then there's the other side of it: His family would ALSO worry about him, just like you said! He's literally ten years old in the show. He's not even a teenager yet! If his family would be anywhere nearby, be it his parents or any other relatives, they would be worried ALL THE TIME. Ryder has gone into extremely dangerous situations several times, he has risked his own life for his pups and/or for people he's been rescuing a few times as well, both movies being EXCELLENT examples for this. You cannot look me in the eye and say his parents or relatives wouldn't worry WORSE than Chase did in the first movie when he saw Humdinger's tower collapsing, knowing Ryder was in there. Now imagine watching the news and finding out last night's meteor shower freaking blew up the very headquarters tower your son was using AT THAT EXACT MOMENT to watch said meteor shower.

Now add the fact that, knowing he works with rescues, if something dangerous IS happening, they CANNOT try to contact him just to know if he's okay or not- because if he's okay, he can't afford stopping to answer them as he WILL BE WORKING. They can't reach for him to not make his line busy in case someone needs to call him for help, and to not distract him from his job. Any distractions could cost them Ryder's life, or maybe one of the pup's lives. Ryder has his pups as part of his family, so to lose one of them would be just as devastating for him and for nearly every resident in Adventure Bay.

My best guess, it's just that. Wherever they are, Ryder's parents are NOT in Adventure Bay, NOT in Adventure City and NOT in Foggy Bottom. They're probably States away, or whatever to name a longer distance. Maybe they're somewhere from USA East Coast even, who knows.

Ryder probably chose Adventure Bay to live and start the Paw Patrol exactly for these reasons: Very far away place, small town where he could start easy. Slowly and steadily, he's been expanding the Patrol over to other locations and becoming famous enough to be called for action in other countries/kingdoms too.

Back home he's learned firsthand a lot of several different specialties for rescue jobs so he could teach his future team, or at least give them a start, so they could study further on their own afterwards. And living far, they can keep in touch occasionally whenever they're not at work, and they can't interfere with his job.

If I lived close to my 10 years old son who works rescuing people with the help of a bunch of dogs and I would hear he's going off into extremely dangerous situations, no matter how much I say I'd trust those dogs with my life (because I am nearly 30 and not ashamed to say I really would), my mother instinct would scream louder than reason and I'd physically hold him back and yell at him to think about his own safety for fucking once in his life too.

It's better they're VERY FAR. For their own sake, for Ryder's sake and for the pups' sake too.

Now with that being said, someone please write a fanfic where Ryder and the Paw Patrol get called for a big search & rescue work in the very city where Ryder's parents are living, after some kind of disaster hit it. Yes, I'm throwing gasoline on the wildfire here, go wild. That would be an interesting topic to explore and write about.

I learned what a bullet journal was by watching a few YouTube artists set theirs up and my algorithm spiraled out of control from there so I guess I have all the bujo influencers to thank for getting into it because it has been a godsend so far on my third attempt, but damn if the over emphasis on aesthetic over the actual practical organizational aspect of it doesn't rankle me a bit

[thirty rambling tags later] huh. I didn't know there was a thirty tag limit in all the years I've been on tumblr. Whatevs I can't copy paste the tags onto the main body because I'm on mobile and I don't want to write it out again so I'll just summarize the last bit here:

If you are browsing the bujo tag because you feel bullet journaling will help you but you feel intimated because you don't think you can make it look pretty, or that the bullet journal method could never help you because it looks exhausting or the inspo you see doesn't cover what you need, I am pleading with you to ignore all the pretty inspiration, take the most common and even original Ryder Carroll formats and spreads with a grain of salt and eliminate or change them as needed, and talk to people who have similar needs than you even if they don't bujo and suss out what's important to keep track of. My bujo is eighty percent important medical bullshit, because that's what I need more than a book tracker. You prolly have your own unique needs. And hell, if you want a book tracker then add a booktracker. It's your bujo to format and plan out.

So like if you want to start bullet journaling, go to Michaels and get a seven dollar Artist's Loft dot grid journal. Or a binder you have left over from school years past and print out your own dot grid paper if you have enough ink and paper and printer that can do double sided (Kevin McLeod's site I forget the name of has free adjustable dot and other grids I've used), or buy a pack of 8.5x11 dot grid paper, and grab a crappy hole punch that just barely does the job. Get yourself a nice pen you think looks and feels nice in your hand and on the paper–or if that doesn't matter to you go get pack of Bics or even pencil if that's what you prefer (I use a pencil for things I can't have be permanent, like temporary meds or the dates of yearly vaccines). If you're twitchy about messing up then get the cheapest wite out they have (but don't worry about messing up especially if you're not even showing it off to anybody). A cheap yellow highlighter if you think it'll help. And a ruler if straight lines are important to you. I lost mine so I just wobble my lines now I don't care (and it's marginally easier to get a line adjacent to straight with a dot grid)

Anyway. If you want to bullet journal but don't know where to start or how to make it pretty or how to make it work for your needs, just try it in the cheapest way possible and rearrange the guts of the bujo as you see fit. And don't worry about the optics as long as you can make sense of your methods and writing.

(and for the love of God if you're bipolar don't make an hourly mood tracker yes our moods can and will fluctuate throughout the day but goddamn was that a bitch to log and abandoned a few weeks after inking it out)

[rioblitzle]

imo if gorillaz want to be good again (on the character/presentation front. music unrelated. also this is subjective) they need to stop trying to make up these grand "lore" continuities because a cool weird as shit music video that can exist on its own as art with no expectations of a full explanation is always gonna be more satisfying than a cool weird as shit music video that is very clearly trying to set up some narrative throughline that dies halfway through the album cycle without any conclusion in sight. plastic beach was cool but it's on thin ice. you are simply not the media format for time travel or cult feud plots please go back to when things were more nonsensical and somehow more cohesive for it

Even as I think it, I sense I'm wrong. I don't have time. Time has me.

Armageddon 2001 (1991) #1

[ageless-aislynn]

Okay, so far so good on having reinstalled Word 2003 (my beloved 🤗) yesterday! Pros: I have access to my previous drafts and other WIPs but the main thing is that it's just so much more comfortable for me to write in. Cons: I have access to my previous drafts and other WIPs and so I've been working on THE WRONG THINGS. Instead of "15 Minutes" or "Recreation," I've gone back to one of my Mass Effect Andromeda fics. You know, that I have no plan to ever post or for anybody else to ever read?

Me @ my writing muse:

Oh well. It's weird but I ended up finding Gil to be a total comfort character, both in playing the game as to who to romance (I have to FIGHT the urge to have Scott romance him every single playthrough, just like I have to do for Sara and Reyes and Sara and Vetra), in vidding

(this one literally has some of my most favorite vidding scene/lyric matches, "then you smiled over your shoulder" at :32 is what made me want to even try this song in the first place, but I was really lucky with how many of the other actual scenes straight-up did fit, IMO: "for a minute I was stone-cold sober" right after that is genuinely what was emotionally happening there, "I knew I loved you then but I never showed" at :45 is also kinda honestly what Gil was doing; bonus shout-out to "even when we're ghosts" at 1:06 when the Tempest activates the Ghost Storm tech, lol)

and now in writing.

Oh well, at least I'm writing, right? Maybe I'll get this bit of ME:A Gil fic out of my system and then get back to my patiently waiting WIPs.

Silver Team: *looks around, sees Ais off faffing about on the Tempest*

No, guys, wait, I promise I'll be there ASAP!

See? Here I come right now, running right to get back to work!

Heh. 🤷‍♀️😇😉

literally have no idea how to explain what i think jack ryders gender is and actually like make sense why im getting that from this story. im mostly going look at him. and then sitting on the floor. he is so strongly genderfluid to me based on his appearances but hell if i know whether i can explain that or not

[renlios]

SHE DASHES OVER TO HIS SIDE ONCE she sees him emerge again , a hand reaching out to touch his arm. " we're all here . " she confirms , though a part of her can't help but WISH some people were still trapped inside. wincing , she mutters , " the lights and noise are blinding ... "

Just had a super bad cramp in my neck and shoulders... yep let's never lay like that again 😶

[letmetellyouaboutmyfeels]

I love that people are getting attached to Ryder and at least one person has thought it was mayhaps a Tangled reference because fun fact his original fancast was Oliver Stark before Oliver became the fancast for Sol and so Ryder's name was actually an embarrassingly unsubtle reference.

Soooon

I will release chapter 3 of Pandemonium.

And not only chapter 3, no!

Also chapter 4 (I consider my best writing alone yet*)!

*as the other chapters are rpg

tann calling ryder a pretend pathfinder is really such a big dick move I can’t help but respect him for it even though it pisses me off
