Just a random question to my artist followers: does anyone enjoy posting their stuff on tiktok? I can't tell if its just a me thing or if that app and its userbase are the most obnoxious compared to other social media

Hey just a small reminder that saying "we should send elon to el salvador!" "we should send this other group to el salvador!" ITS NOT the view NEITHER of you gringos should have about this whole thing.

Because guess what? Before trump made the deal with bukele, we salvadoreans have been suffering this regime for THREE. FUCKING. YEARS. Women have been incarcerated for not accepting the advances of a cop, young people being arrested bc a neighborgh falsely accused them of belonging to a gang, community leaders who are fighting for their land have been arrested and placed with false war crimes from the civil war.

So any time I see any of yall say that "oh we should instead send XY and Z to El Salvador!" I see you minimizing this problem and, again, treating my people as not important. Hell I dont see any of you talk about how this is also GENOCIDE TO US SALVADOREANS.

I'm glad a lot of you care for the inmigrants being wrongfully detained and sent here, but I fucking despise how you all ignore my people and willfully ignore how this is much bigger than just your government capturing innocents and how once they get back its done and everything's nice again.

you know what i think (no one has asked)? i think whores are underutilized in writing.

i think people aren't being wild and toxic and fucked up enough.

your man is a whore? he's trying to show how he doesn't care by being a playboy?

out-slut him. find the girl he's bought a drink and steal her with a smile, a compliment and some friendly conversation.

you love what she's done with her hair. her hand brushes your shoulder playfully and oh, your nails are soooo pretty~ she talks about her styles with excitement and you fawn over her.

and then, once she's laughing and giggling and hanging off your shoulder?

once she won't spare him a glance and he's glaring at you - ready to find some other woman to prey on?

get up and leave.

of course the poor woman will be disappointed, but hey, he'll cheer her right up, won't he?

that's what your eyes are telling him from across the room. burning into his furious gaze.

now, even if he fucks her, he'll have to face the fact that she wanted you more.

if you can't be his first choice then he's going to be everyone's second choice. you'll make sure of it.

With school wrapping up for the year and summer fast approaching, I decided it was time to recognize our boys for their accomplishments this year.

I have compiled a list of eleven student accolades. Some of them are normal, and some of them... not so much. You will have the opportunity to vote for each category. I'll leave the poll open until Monday, June 9th. I would prefer only one submission per person, but to enable that setting on Google Forms, it requires you to sign into a Google account and I don't want that. I'll just operate off the honor system. At the end of the voting window, I will draw each of the winners.

You can vote here!

The accolades that I have selected are:

Best smile

Best hair

Best dressed

Best laugh

Prettiest eyes

Most desirable

Prettiest princess

Girl boss

Male wife

That guy

Baby girl

Good luck and may the odds be ever in your favor.

Does older bf!simon have social media?

great question!

he has one, older bf!simon has one singular social media account and it’s with instagram.

he only follows you and he only has it so he can like every single photo you post and comment “i like this” on them.

he literally does nothing else with the account (except watch rug cleaning videos on reels) and he has an alert for when you post.

[strangerstilinski]

fanfiction is literally so cool and unique and wholesome like where else can you read the most jaw-dropping heart shattering beautifully written story and then leave your silly little thoughts and reactions and have the author see what you have to say!! how cool is that! and these are just normal people with their own busy lives and jobs who are putting this stuff out there!!

how can you not feel motivated to leave a comment when the author might see it after a long shift bagging groceries, or sitting at a desk in a stuffy office or whatever, and it might make their whole day! how can you not feel motivated to reblog/leave a comment when it might inspire said author to set aside time later in their busy week to write more

regardless of how talented you think an author is, writing is fucking hard, ok? your favorite authors are people just like you. and they crave human interaction — and i'm sorry but they do actually deserve a bit of love and praise <3

please don't forget that there is always a very real person on the other end of that blog/account

joe'marr bengals reunion — a (somewhat) comprehensive timeline

1 — “have you spoken to the cincinnati bengals and what would it mean to reunite with joe burrow there?” — “i have talked to the bengals. i don’t know how many times i’ve talked to them though. but, me and joe, you know, i wouldn’t mind going back with joe. if we go back together we’re trying to do nothing but get back our chemistry and have some more fun.”

2 — “i'm really excited for this draft. i don't really know what's coming but, you know, if me and joe could get back to it... i’d love to have some fun with him again.”

3 — “i assume you'd be okay with a potential reunion in cincinnati if that were to happen?" — "yeah, i wouldn’t mind.”

4 — “me and joe talked about [a reunion] maybe like three, four times actually. we talked about it a good bit of times. he texted me this morning, just letting me know: ‘get your bags packed’, so i guess that meant that was gonna be the pick. i don’t know if that was a hint or what. so, he sent me that little text this morning, i was like ‘okay… i'm ready, bro’.”

5 — “what was your reaction like when he was lowkey recruiting you?” — “i actually was believing him sometimes, sometimes i was like ‘stop playing with me’ and sometimes i was just like ‘okay bro, i gotcha, i'm ready now’ so. i believed him this morning when he told me, you know, pack my bags. so that's when i finally was like: ‘yeah he might really be calling this’ so that's when i took his word.”

6 – “jimmy burrow, did joe tell you—he’s always been kind of coy about what he said to the bengals—did joe tell you that he wanted the bengals to select ja’marr?” — “yes, i think we figured that… and eventually… yes, he pretty much told us that he wanted ja’marr.”

7 — “it was like a week before the draft, ja'marr said: ‘dad, joe texted me.’ […] he didn't say what he said, you know. but he said: ‘joe just texted me’, [...] so he had talked to joe like... or texted with joe once or twice that week. and then he told me, he said: ‘dad, if i get with joe, we're gonna kill’ [...] so he was all excited about getting with joe.”

8 — “what was the first thing joe texted you when you got drafted by the bengals?” — “make sure your bag's packed and ready. yeah, that was what he told me.”

9 — “the cincinnati bengals are on the clock now. earlier that morning, i had got a text from joe. he said: hope your bags are packed. i know it's me, at the moment, that's what i'm saying to myself. i can't wait to be a part of it.”

Comment Bingo for Beginners

Very simple rules: connect 5 squares in a line by completing the task in each square

Very simple goals: encourage newbie or nervous commenters; encourage fandom writers to KEEP WRITING

STEPS:

Download Bingo Card HERE (png) or HERE (jpg) or HERE (pdf)

Complete the tasks on the card, marking off each as you go, until you've completed 5 in a line (vertical, horizontal, or diagonal; NO double-dipping; kudos ♥️ is a free space)

POST your winning card (or list your filled squares) and tag @feedthefandomfest! Glory in your victory.

REWARD:

✨ victory badge ✨

Tag me when you earn a bingo (or double, triple, quadruple... FULL CARD bingo) and I'll reblog a shiny badge with your name on it to commemorate the win.

FAQ:

Can I comment on tumblr or only on AO3?

Either one is great! Some squares are more designed with AO3 in mind, but most can be adjusted to suit tumblr as well, so I say go for it. Tumblr fics deserve love, too.

Can one comment count toward multiple squares if the fic fits more than one category?

Since the goal is for as many fics to receive comments as possible, try to comment on a different fic for each square.

Is there a time limit?

Nope! Take your time or set your own deadline, whatever works for you. This blog is still in its early experimental stage, so feedback welcome. Play around and let me know what you like and what might be added/changed—including ideas for squares on future cards!

Do I have to record progress on the actual card?

Nope! If it’s easier to keep track in a different way, that’s fine. This is all very honor system, so if you say you earned a Bingo, we’ll call it a win 🎉

Some people have been tracking not just completed tasks, but the fics they read along the way, so that when they post a bingo, they can also promote the fics/authors in a little rec list. Not required, but definitely cool to see!

Can I adjust the task in a particular square to suit my comfort level?

Of course! If you deliver something in the spirit of the task, then it’s all good. Use your best judgement in constructing a comment that will make the author smile, and you can consider it a job well done.

In general, so long as each square has produced at least one comment, you’re golden and I salute you 🫡

Happy commenting!!

[poorly-drawn-mdzs]

I have been following your work since the beginning. At first I just really liked your sense of humour and analysis of MDZS, but with time I started to really enjoy watch your progress in this drawing journey. I just watched your animatic and just wanted to say that I'm really happy for you, you're a really inspirational person.

I usually don't comment in anything and it's just because I'm really awkward about commenting. But I'm always accompanying your posts and seeing your notifications always make me smile, please continue with your good work!

(English isn't my first language, sorry for any mistakes)

Thank you very much! I've seen you around for a long while; I sincerely appreciate your support, no matter what form it takes!

This post has very big spoilers for Squid Game season 3 in it so please don't read it if you don't want to get spoilered!!

I had to make one more post about this cause I didn't wanna just add it to my other post

I think Squid Game does a lot of those things that won't happen in other shows because it'd be too sad. In many shows things happen where you're like "that's unrealistic, but it's sweet and hopeful so I'll take it". But in Squid Game they do push it to that point of "I didn't think they would go there" "I can't believe this really sad thing actually happened and nobody came and stopped it". Nobody stopped Gi-hun before he fell, nobody was there to catch him. Nobody was able to help Jun-hee cross the jumprope game, they didn't make an exception for her just because her ankle was hurt. Myung-gi didn't stop himself for a second while on his killing spree with Nam-gyu to maybe think about who he's actually killing right now and that Hyun-ju was with Jun-hee and nobody noticed him quickly enough to be able to stop him either. It's very sad, it's very unfortunate but it's real and it's how this show has always been. No exceptions. Nobody came and helped Sae-byeok when she was hurt (all of this is excluding Gi-hun btw. I'm more talking about the guards and game makers here). Her death was so undeserved in the end. She would have deserved a better death at least, but overall she would have deserved to Live. But this isn't what Squid Game is about. Because it's unrealistic. There's no deus ex machina in Squid Game, nobody who comes in right on time and saves the day. There's no plot twist good guy who helped all along. Everybody in this show has their strengths and weaknesses and every character has their own path that they're walking. But nobody is perfect. Both Hyun-ju and Sae-byeok had enormous potential to win. But they got hurt and that was fatal to them. They didn't die because they were weak. They died because if you get a giant glass shard to the stomach and have nobody there to patch you up again then you're very vulnerable and nobody in those games who has any power cares enough about you to help you. They died because if you get involved in a physical fight with knives and against people who are determined to kill you then you will get hurt at some point and you will be in distress and you won't think clearly and once you're out of that fight and really hurt you just aren't able to watch your surroundings at all times in case somebody else comes and tries to murder you.

But to get back to what I said at the start. Squid Game does all of this because no other show ever does. Every other show would have at least given Sae-byeok and Hyun-ju and so many other characters a death worthy of them. Even if unrealistic. Every other show probably would have found a way to get both Gi-hun and the baby out of there alive. Every other show probably would have had Myung-gi finally get back to himself and sacrifice himself for his child. But Myung-gi panicked and he really really didn't want to die and who can blame him for that? That is so human, that is so real. And in such a panic you can't think clear. And in the end he died because a stupid jacket wasn't sturdy enough to hold him in the air and that's so damn sad and it didn't even help his child survive. It did nothing. But it is so On Point for Squid Game because sometimes in reality things do happen like that. Sometimes people do stupid irrational things, sometimes people die in ways that they did not deserve. And I think most media shies away from that brutal realism but Squid Game doesn't and it would be disrespectful to assume that it would or should. It's hard and obviously really sad but I think it's also so special because it's so real. And that's why it hurts so much

Now I'm not saying that the message of the show is "the world is evil and nobody helps you and that's just how it is so deal with it" because that isn't what the show is about. It is however about how hard it is to choose kindness in such an unforgiving world. All of this is very real but you can make even a slight difference by being good and helping those who need help from you. And it won't always work, you won't magically fix all of society's problems because you always tried to be good. But it does make a difference for somebody. Gi-hun's love for humans and his kindness and selflessness gave Cheol a home and eventually his mother back. He gave many other players hope, hope that even if they didn't make it, somebody would make sure that their death wasn't for nothing. Gi-hun's selflessness is the reason why an innocent baby that was born into horrible circumstances and that got treated like an object is now able to grow up safe and without even having to worry about money. Gi-hun kept his promise to everybody who trusted him, who he was kind to and who was kind to him in return and he made other people's lives better. He couldn't save Sang-woo and Sae-byeok and Jun-hee because that's unrealistic. They're all stuck in games that are specifically designed to kill them. It was so unlikely that any of them would have survived. But through his kindness Gi-hun did survive and though he couldn't save his friends he was able to save the lives of their loved ones. And this goes for other characters too. No-eul persevering and continuing her fight in protecting Gyeong-seok and getting him out of the games alive no matter the cost lead to a little girl surviving cancer. It didn't fix any of the world's massive problems but it changed the world of a little girl for the better

This show is about the real world, yes. But it is also about the fact that kindness still exists everywhere in that real world no matter how cruel that world might be. And this message would have hit so so so much less if the show had shied away from that realism
