so often now i see someone uploading their very first piece of cc like a recolour or tattoo and they have a patreon already
its like theres this idea that you HAVE to have a patreon and a preview style and link ur socials and make yourself into a Brand™ now right from the get go instead of just??? enjoying the game?? being part of the community?? making cc because you wanted it and maybe someone else would like it too??
so many paywall creators literally arent active in the community for anything but posting more cc to get that dosh pls dont use them as a template, enjoy the game and make cc for yourself dont make yourself a faceless brand there enough of that shit in and out of this community as is
#greed has taken over it sucks#like damn remember when mediafire and dropbox were the norm??#patreon shouldnt be the default file host sfs exists theres codes everywhere and we're all very happy to share codes if you need one!!!#obviously this isnt an 'i hate patreon in general' post using it for optional donations is totally fine its just like#starting out and already having it seems so...weird...again like viewing cc as a brand or for monetary value only#i know theres ppl out there still not like this btw its just becoming so common its sad#this could be said for all of social media at this point tho fr.. everyone has to be a brand i dont even use socials anymore partly bc this

I think you can save scrivener files to a cloud service like Dropbox, which is free for up to 2Gb of storage and works on basically any platform. Dropbox has features like file recovery, version history, integrated cloud content (which allows you to edit some types of files from within Dropbox), and backup services. I can’t recommend it enough.
Also, it has a feature if you install it on your computer where it can act like a normal folder on your hard drive, but everything within the folder is stored in the Dropbox cloud. If you open a file from that folder, it’ll boot as if it was always on your computer. Very useful for Scrivener, which afaik does not have a cloud backup service.
TLDR use Dropbox.
writer survey question time:
inspired by seeing screencaps where the software is offering (terrible) style advice because I haven't used a software that has a grammar checker for my stories in like a decade
if you use multiple applications, pick the one you use most often.

The End of an Era, and the Road Ahead
Hi everybody, the recent news about Dashingdon shutting down feels like it's a bittersweet turning point for many in the ChoiceScript community. Before Don stepped up and took things into his own hands, volunteering his own money, manpower, and time to create and maintain the site, there was no good way for people to host ChoiceScript demos and games in one place: I think the previous solution had been different Dropbox links (which was eventually nuked by security changes in how they hosted files) and possibly separate Neocities sites? Without the Dashingdon site, none of us would have had such an incredible space to gather, share and explore and experience games together, or--for some--even feel motivated to write a ChoiceScript game in the first place, not without an easy and intuitive way of sharing it with others in a playable format. The Dashingdon site significantly lowered the barrier of entry for anyone wanting to make or play or share games; more than that, it was a place of memories, creativity, and connection, and I fully believe that it served as a vital backbone of the ChoiceScript community for many years. A lot of that community relies on the efforts of volunteers--including the creator of CSIDE and the moderators on the forums--and, as with them, I can only thank Don wholeheartedly for his generosity and his 10 years of tireless, selfless, and often thankless work. The fact that a lot of people didn't even know he was a volunteer shows his altruism!
However, all of that work could have only fallen on the shoulders of one person for so long. It's a sad loss to see, though, and I'm very sorry to everyone mourning the loss of the community space, old or inactive WIPs, and save files that will be lost when Dashingdon goes dark at the end of the month. I do wish that there could be an official, stable, company-supported place for authors to host their games in one place, but at least there are alternatives for people to migrate to! (Thank you too to @hpowellsmith and everyone in the community who's taken it upon themselves to spread the news and try to make this transition as smooth as possible for everyone surprised by this announcement. And thank you to the volunteer who's taken up the banner at cogdemos.ink!) I don't know if cogdemos.ink has a page set up to help defray costs, but Dashingdon himself has a ko-fi if you want to leave a tip or thanks for his years of service to the community!
To that end, I want to reassure you all that Shepherds of Haven is safe and isn't going anywhere, and that this change won't affect the game's future. The news has, however, sped up my announcement of something I've been working on for a long time: transitioning away from ChoiceScript and moving Shepherds of Haven to Twine.
Granted, this wasn't how I originally planned on sharing this news. Patrons have known about this move since I decided on it, but I'm a dogged perfectionist, possibly to a fault. I wanted everything to be absolutely polished before unveiling the Twine build, but this unexpected news has been the nudge I needed to take the leap sooner. It's always been my habit to polish my work to an extreme degree: I will rewrite entire novels five, seven, however many times it takes before I send it to my agent or editor... or even before I show it to my own fiance! I still haven't let him read Shepherds, or the novel that I've been talking to him about since 2019, because it "isn't ready" yet, not in my own mind. A common refrain I've always heard from career associates is that my work is "unusually impeccable" by the time it hits their desk. When I do share something, it's usually done. But if I'm learning anything as I grow as a writer, it's that progress matters over perfection. The sudden closure of Dashingdon has made me realize that no one moment will ever feel perfect--and that’s okay. I have to accept that things will never be as perfect as I want to make them before I let them out into the world. Instead of holding myself to an impossible standard, I’m embracing this opportunity to push forward and bring you something I'm truly proud of. (However nerve-wracking that may be!) So, instead of reuploading the ChoiceScript demo somewhere else, only to take it down again later, my efforts are going to shift entirely to getting the Twine version ready for release. It’s a huge task, but it ensures I’ll have complete control over Shepherds of Haven and its future. If I drop everything and focus entirely on this for the next several weeks, my best estimate is that it will take 3-5 weeks of full-time work to make that final push and finally get everything caught up and ready.
Why Twine? There were a lot of reasons behind my decision to move. The biggest of all was that, as the game's wordcount grew, so too did my creative vision for it, and I found myself longing for a version of ShoH that could be just as visually rich and mechanically engaging as I was imagining. Codex entries, interactive maps, infinite saves that can be downloaded directly to your device! Moving to Twine removes the limitations of ChoiceScript's simpler engine, and allows me to honor the game's creative potential and deliver on it in a way that feels true to the journey we've shared so far. It's also a platform that offers greater flexibility and independence for both me and the game: I've put so much work into this project that I'd prefer for its success to rest more in my hands, even if that means taking on the monumental task of publishing it myself, rather than anyone else's.
So. Both the public demo and the alpha build will be released in Twine as soon as I can make that happen. The majority of the work's already done--I just need to get the alpha build caught up with some lingering day off interludes and Chapters 8.5 and 9, and I need to address a queue of lingering quality-of-life questions and tweaks. I want to also note that, while there are very exciting additions to unveil, everything foundational to ShoH remains exactly the same. The story, text, and original functions have been ported in their entirety to Twine, outside of basic edits and refinements that would have happened in the normal course of revision, anyway. I have even taken pains to implement a visual "classic" setting that will replicate the font, colors, and general simplified look of the original version, if players want to use that instead. :) But otherwise, this thing is stuffed to the gills with awesome new features. Custom music soundtrack! Clickable maps! Actual trading card collectibles! Stunning new art! Revamped codex and store and inventory systems! Helpful tutorials and autosave points! Important quality of life improvements, like being able to select pronouns separately from gender and change them any time! This doesn't even touch the surface of it, but needless to say, I think we're going to have a lot of fun. Thank you all for your patience, encouragement, and support so far, and please give me some time to get my ducks in a row. A new version of Shepherds of Haven will be ready for you to play soon!

DashingDon
As most of you are probably aware, DashingDon will be closing at the end of this month. Although the news didn't surprise me (there was writing on the wall), I was still shaken by its finality.
I've been in this IF niche for a long time. I remember when authors used to share via Dropbox and the panic that spread when they changed their security settings — DashingDon swept in and saved the day. The site has connected authors and readers for a decade and was the central pillar necessary for the IF explosion.
I don't know if I ever would have tried my hand at the Rose if DashingDon didn't exist. It feels like the end of an era. I want to thank Don for everything he's done. For all the time, work, and capital he's sacrificed for the website. He connected, hosted, and helped so many people; I am so lucky to count myself among them.
I haven't used cogdemos.ink yet, but I know that the person managing it is very active and doing their best to make the site as user-friendly, safe, and intuitive as they can. I have complete faith it'll be — and may very well already be — a worthy successor to DashingDon. ♡
Thank you to all who warned me of its closing! My files are safe in 3 different places, so no worries, I won't lose anything, but it's still heartwarming that you cared.🌹

Paper Hat and Physician Cap
Conversions from the Sims 3 Store and The Sims Medieval.
The paperhat comes with three presets: Solid colour, paper-pattern and the original’s overlay. The default position is the one shown in the previews, but it is of course hatslider-compatible.
These hats do not use shared textures, so all files can be installed and uninstalled individually, independent of each other.
Download Paperhat: SimFileshare | Dropbox
Download Physician-Cap: SimFileshare | Dropbox
Accessory: Toddlerkranz
This is converted from the TSM "Jungfernkranz" hair, and I figured it might work as the sort of falling-hat that toddlers used to wear in the 18th century. Toddler male/female; a teen-to-elder version can be found here.
Download: SimFileshare | Dropbox
Bucket Hat Accessory
Originally this bucket is from EA’s Plants vs. Zombies bonus content. I used the accessory conversion for toddlers by Purple-Plumbobs and converted it for children (Purple-Plumbobs isn’t active under that name any more, but the download is here.) Mine sits over the eyes by default, because that’s what I needed for my story. It can be moved around with hatsliders. There’s a black pane inside, so you can’t see very far “up” in the bucket. Child only, male/female.
Download: SimFileshare | Dropbox

Phantom's Keep
Sim File Share (currently slow due to Simblreen traffic. I will upload a few days after the event so check my Downloads page for updates.) Dropbox
Welcome to Phantom's Keep, where the only thing spookier than the décor is your Sims' cooking skills! This charming little castle boasts one bedroom for all your witchy needs and a secret door that leads straight to the potion pantry - because who needs a grocery store when you have bat wings and eye of newt? Perfect for those late-night spellcasting sessions, just watch out for the occasional ghostly roommate. Get ready for a Halloween treat that’s simply to die for!
Price Furnished: 131,371 Price Unfurnished: 62,298 Lot Size: 20x30 Lot Type: Residential Store Content: Click here CC Used: Click here File Type: Package Min. Required Game Version: 1.42 Packs Needed: The Sims 3, World Adventures, Pets (Wallpaper), Generations (Wallpaper and Stairs), Late Night and Seasons
Hello and welcome back to my blog!
As a final treat for this year's Simblreen (@simblreenofficial), I'm excited to share a house inspired by the spirit of the season! While the name of this lot may be a nod to Danny Phantom, unfortunately it isn't a replica of Pariah's Keep. Instead, it's designed to be a home fit for a modern-ish witch and I've included as many Halloween-themed CC items as I could.
I had a lot of fun building it and I hope you enjoy exploring it! If you missed the first and second treats, click the #Simblreen tag to check them out.
Click on the ’Keep Reading’ below for more information and pictures on this lot.
I’ve been considering getting the Supernatural expansion pack but something has always held me back into doing it and working on this house has made that temptation even stronger. Since I don’t have the pack, all witch-related objects are purely decorative. You can replace them with Supernatural objects like cauldrons, wands, etc. which can be stored in the hidden witches' potion pantry in the tower.
As a reminder, 📣 please note that the store content and CC included in the lot are not included on the download file. The lot may seem a bit sparse from above based on the floor plan pictures but this includes around 79 CCs. These are not required and will be automatically replaced in the game but if you want it to look the same as in the pictures, you can always go to my WCIF Navigation page, where I’ve compiled a list for those interested in downloading them separately.
I placed three fog emitters outside the house to create an eerie atmosphere, especially at night and as long as your game is patched to 1.42 or higher then you won’t need the Ambitions expansion pack for this to be available. However, the Generations and Pets expansion pack are required due to the build items used in the lot as stated in the Details section above.
If you want to check and/or remove the fog emitters, enable “testingcheatsenabled true” and “buydebug on” after.
This lot has been play-tested and let me know if you experience any problems on your end!

Smallsimmer Oscar Isaac Download
I think the last time I uploaded a sim was around 2016 actually! Anyways he's just sitting in my sim bin thought maybe someone else could get some use from him. I made him around late 2022, he's definitely not perfect nor am I claiming he is but I think he turned out the best out of all of the celebrity sims I made.
info:
He's very slider heavy, I don't want to break a tou by uploading my sliders but I am going to link to here
Download includes .sim file and custom skin that I made for him.
You can find the hair I used for him here (zac) other than the hair he should be packed in base game clothing!
Skin is probably far from perfect, I made it around 2 years ago for fun and personal use, never planned on sharing it so take that as you will.
Same body from this skin I uploaded here
Didn't include the contacts I used because I use the heterochromia contact thing so they would most likely not work in your game anyway! Any brown contacts would work the same though I would assume.
Images are unedited! What you see is what you get.
Skin is 2k in texture size and for YA males only
For the sims 3!!!
TOU: Also haven't uploaded a sim in awhile so uh I obviously can't stop you from tweaking the hell out of him but I can kindly ask for some credit if you end up using him please and thank you. Same if you use the skin in another skin blend I'd prefer to not have another June skin incident on my hands 😅
Download: Dropbox (alt)
#ts3cc#s3cc#the sims 3 cc#sims 3 cc#im actually terrified of this upload LMAO#I always get scared when I upload things I always think I'm forgetting something

Important. PLEASE READ!!
For those of you who may not know, which I suspect is probably most of you, I had an interaction with a pro/comship blog (@toh-proship-positivity) about three weeks ago that ended in them accusing a fellow artist, a-magpie-in-gravesfield, of extremely heinous things. I originally was not going to respond to them simply because I didn't want to be bothered with such drama during the holidays. Still, these claims irritated me because, even just from my conversations with this blog and witnessing their behavior firsthand, I knew their claims were likely untrue or, at the very least, exaggerations. I am happy to announce that my intuition was correct and that the claims made about Magpie WERE NOT TRUE.
Several people approached me regarding this, and I also sought a few individuals out myself to look for answers. They provided ample proof, including screenshots, receipts, and conversations between the accuser and the accused, that prove without a shadow of a doubt in my mind that Magpie is innocent of all claims levied against him.
I, along with the help of a few others, gathered as much information as I could find, organized it, and created a master list of evidence to combat every accusation. I am going to share the folder that holds the drama overview as well as every document that was used as an external link. Here are the links to the folder and overview, respectively.
This folder with all related documents will also be downloadable as a zip file on Dropbox to anyone who wishes to have a copy for themself. DM me asking for the download link, and I will provide it to you.
This is not meant to be an attack on the person who levied the claims against Magpie, and this is NOT a call to harassment. This needs to be put out into the open so that this drama inside the Wittebane community can cease.
Here is a direct message from Magpie regarding the situation:
"I just wanted to clarify that I had no hand in making the document itself. I was approached by multiple people asking for my side of the evidence / answering questions about the timeline of things / etc. I myself never look at Horse's posts because I don't want to give any of my time to things like this (and tbh I thought they would have stopped by now). Please don't message me about this. This has been going on for over a year now, and I don't want to focus on negativity. I have already provided a lot of information to the people who made this doc. I also DO NOT condone any kind of harassment towards anyone, including anyone mentioned in this document. I did not ask for this document to be made (actually, for a long time I actively discouraged people from doing it because I thought it wasn't necessary), but because multiple slanderous accusations that included my name were recently brought up to me by people I had never interacted with before as well as friends, and Horse does not seem to have stopped, I figured I would provide my side of things to people who asked as to give answers to anyone who might have heard of this situation. This document was in no way meant to encourage bullying of any kind. Please stay safe everyone!"

hello editblr !! ik a lot of blogs have psds uploaded to deviantart, so here's a reminder that deviantart made a public statement supporting Israel and is owned by WIX, which is an Israeli company on the BDS list.
Consider using alternative file sharing sites to relocate your psds to, such as Google Drive, Mediafire, Dropbox or Mega! (these are just ones I know of, feel free to reblog with additions!!)
remember to do your daily clicks for Palestine 🇵🇸

A healthy and reasonable criticism of the mcr archive that i’m 0% scared to share. I didn’t sign and NDA and i’m a free woman.
I will express my criticisms with both their practice and their pr.
this is my opinion and how I received them. if you want to turn this around on me, may you remember that I'm not the one responsible for the mcr archive. i'm a fan and they're a professional organization not god or jesus or anything like that.
practice:
how can I view and appreciate the mcr archives work?
We have their mission statement
“My Chemical Romance community project whose goal is to collect & catalog MCR content for future posterity.”
linktree where you can see what they're sharing rn.
and what does the mcr archive so actively do? they share
2. sometimes a time sensitive drop box of files (from their link tree. files you dare not share, even if you credit them.)
3. barely (and sometimes just not) sourced social media posts that are kind of.. no different than what anyone else might share in terms of sourcing. the photos however seem to be really high quality versions of photos we’ve seen before and definitely some ones relatively no one has seen. They told me that’s because they pitch in to buy from photo agencies. and what the mcr archive posts is always excellent but it’s not everyone else’s problem you can’t find the info. I’ve dug up sources for ya’lls posts before when it takes two seconds to do. the places where you can add info, should have info. You should message other smart people in a group chat or something “hey can you look into this show for me, I can’t find the dang photographer” wheres the evidence of practice.
so It was an event/show. At the show there was a photographer. Look at their stupid haircuts, find out what 3 months in 2005 it was, check setlist fm etc
when I asked who took the pictures they told me “that infos actually not out there, we got it from a photo agency” who better than a f'n photo agency to know who took the picture I do not understand... you should have more info as a result
3. a mostly dead link list that credits back to themselves sometimes. seriously check it out you can’t do anything except the youtubes.
4. when they post a video, they haven't credited the yt a lot of the time. because they don't credit properly what ends up happening is they post and we're to believe the source is the mcr archive. which yeah no (credit where credit is due to them but sometimes you see it in funny places)
5. They informed me that they don’t check tumblr to see if the photos have been posted they just queue it when the time comes. It would save them a lot of time to reblog from someone.
maybe one of the amazing accounts that catalogue (thats what we’ll say to avoid eternal damnation) mcr extensively. Maybe all those blogs could be friends of the archive and we could all look forward to being reblogged by the great mcr archive
honestly they should reblog everything callmeblakes ever posted bc that shit is mcr history and archiving to me. just an opinion. in fact if you wanna know what I expect from the mcr archive, go to blakes blog.
6. It’s easy to have new mcr when everyone's falling all over themselves ready to give you their new mcr pics/video. But when there’s not it’s just this half effort mcr account It doesn’t do justice to those bits and pieces in between. The things that need to be saved still.
7. side note: I would like to credit the mcr archive as a bit of the inspiration for my website. I wanted to hoard everything and be excited about mcr. I needed the old important stuff I used to bleach my eyes with. So when I saw “the mcr archive” I was so excited to see well…
the archive????
I thought surely I wasn’t going to the right site. I thought for sure there was a “mcr archive” url, not a link tree, that would have all of this referenced content right? So fans can see the whole thing? no. Its always a limited time dropbox. That's why all the links are dead now. You can only get to what they have posted on instagram or tumblr.
The idea and concept and general execution of the mcr archive is good. it just seems they have fallen asleep on their laurels. And for the band I love, it should be better kept. Their content is excellent of course. photo agency quality scans.
For it being the “definitive mcr archive” I guess I just wanted more structure, more transparency and info and links where they apply. everything could be more accessible. it just seems to be run by not many people and they'd benefit from a larger team.
this is my personal critique that is 100% allowed to exist.
PR
I was recently messaged by an mcr archive member. their identity is protected but I will associate "mcr archive" to them because that's who they represent when they message fans about archival business.
(I’ve recently had some discourse with them that i'm sharing. they are the owner of an archive within the mcr archive (oo lala) -- from which I took and credited 20 of their files)
below my defense to their claims. I don't like being misunderstood.
they say in the first sentence it was on my site uncredited. bull. the files that belonged to them were labelled. I had their contributors doc in every folder that even had their files.
but that's not enough for them to be civil? that's not enough to simply ask for your 20 files to be removed from a my chemical romance fan site.. huh
they then give themselves away as anon (which they denied) by using the same vocab. I "lifted" their files. who even says that. in their og anon ask, they say the same thing followed by a lot of hot air about how i'm apparently doing a shit job and only they understand hard work. i'm a lot but i'm not stupid.
then here we go with I "copied their whole archive into mine". that didn't happen. I had 20 files and she assumed I took her wayback screenshots. bc how could I possibly have the capacity to take my own. they described taking these screenshots as an obscene amount of work btw. so much COMPLAINING. you should be grateful to do it. they also say the screenshots they took might not be on wayback machine anymore. sure bud.
it was brought to my attention that them saying they want the convo private is telling as well. they should be salespeople for mcr of the utmost transparency i'm sorry. you are public figures that don't treat mcr fans with respect and to try to make them feel small.
then they call me unprofessional.
Interesting that they message me calling me “unprofessional” when I am just a regular mcr blog/site owner. I never claimed to be perfect, or the end all be all mcr curator. I’m not the one affiliated with the mcr archive. If the mcr archive has a problem with my site they can make their own and do it their way. I’m not burger king. next.
then they talk about feeling undermined. the irony.
then they say I lack “community awareness” when they want all the credit for everything. that's the message you send when you don’t credit the photographers or youtube accounts. (no link ever) Its like “idk doesn’t matter look I posted it” which is fine when you’re a regular mcr fan but when you claim to be the most official mcr archive account, you are held to a higher standard in this fanbase.
and this is all before I even responded. they don't know me and they're literally scolding me. ok hotshot.
then I got defensive and tried to express to them that i'm not as dumb as they seem to think I am. I didn't do the things I was being accused of. I was honest about how I felt. it was hard to respond to all that because it was these weird different attacks on my intelligence from a person i've never spoken to before.
then them and their mcr achive friend sending fucked up anon asks calling me a piece of shit among other things. those mcr archive accounts could not figure out how to get a life that night. some random mcr archive fan is so mad to call me a piece of shit bc I got mad at mcr archive is what i'm to believe. it was them. they try to gatekeep this fandom that way ig. what does it for me is the complaining and acting like they built the pyramids.
it's not my fault it was hard work for you to do your awesome job request to remove and be business about it. it was like .04% of my website I don't care.
I took their stuff off, I put their site at the top of my sources on ec. I wanted this to be over. so I was professional and did as they asked. I was not half as rude as they were in their initial message. and then they say "why are you continuing to undermine me?"
like i'm sorry are you beyonce??
so they say i'm "duplicating work" and I need to slow down my process to avoid future errors. I am so clear about errors and fixing them and having no problem listening to people that are right. I am reasonable but how they came at me was bonkers. duplicating? I steal everything on there I own 0. cept the dvds ig. if me posting old show pics on a flicker from 2011 is duplicating work. sure idgaf. this history needs exposure.
I’m just a blog like everyone else that posts things that mean something to them. My website isn’t worth much more than a reference. It is a place that points to other places. This blog is the same. I’ve never pretended to own anything. ever.
then they say just because their whole archive is literally drag and drop easy to download doesn't mean my site is worth more than their archive.
why are you comparing my site to an official mcr archive period?
They don't want to be brief as indicated in their essay of a first message. they want to argue with me about a few things. because I didn't bend over backwards and kiss their ass seven different ways to sunday, after they came at me wrong, they think I am undermining their work.
according their messages, my archive is illegitimate because I don’t ask permission when my content is 2002-2012 old sites. I have never asked permission and never did anything to hide that. anyone of the 9287432 people who have their material on my site can ask to have it removed. I just link to the original source and credit. Just interesting because: how do they have permission to use the photos if they can’t even tell us who took them.
I have tried to talk to them during the founding of my website. I sent them messages and asked questions and they don't speak to the public. community this community that. I did @ a member in march when I used and credited her whole of 20 files. I removed it because they didn't respond to it for 3 months and stopped thinking about it. I figured she would talk to me like a grown up one day request to remove sometime if she wanted it down. guess that was too much to ask.
what this message tells me is that I can’t possibly understand the work they do, it’s too specialized and complicated. Apparently lmao I misunderstand them and only they know the true meaning of putting together info and data entry.
And i’m sorry I said taking a picture or scanning something isn’t hard work. I just got tired of all their hot air. I’m sorry but It’s all about them and their precious stuff and taking pictures/scans of it. it’s like mcr influencers that post paid for pictures and they dress really cool but I can't help but think about how I would be in their shoes, how lucky so many people would feel to be a part of the mcr archive. and their lack of gratitude stinks to high hell.
And for the record, It’s the attitude for me
All they had to do was request to remove like any other human would.
I really needed to say my piece and now i’m letting this go. :) reactions be damned.
#my chemical romance#but I really needed to get this out#kinda like a yelp#this is my critique that no one is required to like#and i'll prob delete soon but this needs to sit in the air for a while#if you think I should “TAKE THIS DOWN >:[[[” just block me I don't have time for you

So sorry if you’ve answered or linked to this before, but I’m absolutely obsessed with your blending and rendering/painting style! Would you be willing to share the brushes or digital painting tools you use?
absolutely!! the program I use is Clip studio paint first off, and here's a little doodle of the main 3 I use!
Ive lost the original links to them, BUT i did upload the .sut files to Dropbox to download and use! Link in question!

Instructions for ballot watchers included directions to “Stop the Mules,” which they claimed are “well trained and financed” and part of a “global network.” The instructions given to those in the chat told watchers they could stage 12 feet from a dropbox, however, the law says they must be 75 feet away and a federal judge ruled in 2022 that the groups behind such efforts needed to observe from at least 250 feet. The person from Arizona later told the chat he was watching dropboxes in Yuma. The same user was found by the Mirror to have posted violent and racist messages on the far-right social media platform Gab, whose owner is a known antisemite. “Can’t be closer than 12 (feet),” the user wrote when an article about the lawsuit against drop box watchers was shared with the chat. That individual identified by the Mirror also shared a file listing dropbox locations throughout the state and claimed that the AP3 member whose photograph was shared widely was a “fed,” or federal agent. “You are probably correct about them being feds,” the user wrote. “Us patriots know better than to do that unless they really are dumb asses.” However he was quickly rebuffed by another Arizona member. “They’re not, I’m in constant contact with both individuals, they’re good people,” the user wrote.
