A fierce duel commences!

#poorly drawn mdzs #mdzs #wei wuxian #lan wangji #game dev diary #This was a test to figure out busts (art style & methodology as well as implementation & uploading)!#Game progress is going well! It is not the most showy content at the moment though....but soon!#I have made more spritesheets + wrote a 20 page script for the beginning of the game + lots of mechanical stuff.#OOH and our main town has a map and I've hammered out most of the major character designs!#(I have a comic I will share later this week about how character design talk in a team setting has been going so far.)#This gif is to share a little bit of whimsy and joy with you all. Because we are having so much fun!#Fanart like this is great for practicing a new medium! Also very few people would care to see my custom windowskins.#(This gif is pre-custom windowskins sadly. Next game dev update will have them though!)#Thank you all for being here at the start of my journey B*)#By the way yeah I do think WWX would be a menace when it comes to taking his medication.#WWX's toxic masculinity trait is thinking he's invincible and doesn't need medication.#He would get worms and go 'Nah my immune system will handle it.' Which. No. Please take worms seriously.#LWJ on the other hand would be the model medication taker. He's got a schedule. A weekly organizer. He's a doctor's dream patient.

So, since she doesn’t get to kill anyone in the highschool au, I’ve confiscated Wenda’s knife. Instead, she gets to have a tennis racket. No stabbing, but she can still do plenty of damage :3

Don’t worry about Oren, I’m sure he’s fine

#Sprunki #Sprunki au #Sprunki Oren #Sprunki Wenda #Her other favourite weapon is a Stanley cup lmfao #It was originally a joke but y’know what?#I bet she could KO someone with one of those things lol #Anyways don’t ask why it’s greyscale #I don’t know either lol #But yeah I’m having fun practicing drawing these guys #Me and a friend have been cooking recently with our ideas for this au hehe #I’ll share some more of our galaxy-brained lore later >:3 #(And I’ll tag them lol)

i love when we see little bits of valjean & cosette just hanging around the house together "they were both on the steps leading to the garden", "this took place in cosette’s chamber", "she generally embroidered in wool ... and jean valjean read beside her" yeah 🥺.

#sorry i Know this is just picking at crumbs haha but it's like. well it's one thing to say they live together or to show them doing specific #things together but that they also just spend neutral time in each other's company like this doing nothing in particular is so.#idk like just sitting quietly together doing our separate things is something i really love to do w my lived ones #it speaks to a certain level of comfort. idk idk #especially with how much is made of his sort of living separately from her i think it's sweet how much they do still share space in practic #the one in her chamber l'm picturing him sitting in his shirtsleeves on her bed to chat while she looks in the wardrobe <- thee most classi #dad move of all time in my opinion #thoughts #les mis

Fucking nerd has had a very specific movement of a very specific symphony stuck in her head for days on end and it will not release her

#yesterday i finally remembered what movement and what symphony it was at least thank fuck #it was tormenting me that i couldn't remember if it was beethoven mozart or haydn #we studied multiple symphonies by all of them in my high school music understanding class #by the method of 10 or 12 influential pieces of music across the recorded range of human history that we studied all year #and every couple of weeks when we learned a new piece of vocabulary or compositional technique etc #we would cycle through them top to bottom oldest to most recent and apply that new piece of knowledge #so by the end of the year we had studied these pieces so intently that we could practically perform them in our sleep #one of the most enriching experiences i had in high school for sure especially taking it as a sophomore #i remember being so delighted by how much musical knowledge i had that none of my other musician peers in other schools did #because it meant that i got to have the joy of sharing it with them and watching the light go on in their head #anyway music and symphonies am i right #my ramblings

Love jaydick and how they love each other.

They'll never have joy over a joined kill...

Jason will take pride in doing the right thing.

While Dick will suffer the misery of doing what needs to be done.

Dick loves Jason in spite of his violence. He acknowledges his lack of understanding of Jason's need to enact such form of justice, and he wouldn't necessary join Jason in his methods. But Dick's love for Jason is so strong he is willing to tolerate, for Jason only.

#jaydick #would this breed bitterness in their love?#maybe but surely not enough to break them apart #jason has his fair share of concessions for dick's sake #do i think tolerance is a great base for fictional love?#maybe but jaydick's love is that of a realistic basis jason and dick have been through so much to be away and close to each other #life worked against them with bruce in between them and their very interesting dynamic #loving each other is a conscious choice put into practice #jason love dick from the beginning while dick learnt to slowly accept his love and give some of his own back to jason #it' hard to put everything between them behind but they do it's a difficult process and they do their best with it #we have our own love in our life and tolerance. real selfless tolerance of another is such a great testament of love in my opinion #dick doesn't hang this over jason's head just like jason doesn't hang his many concessions (far more than dick) over dick's #they learnt from past experiences that this line of behaviour won't get them nowhere #so yeah #they decided to love each other despite everything&everyone #which is a damn hard thing to do if you are them lol

Just got called entitled bc sometime I put my name on my groceries before I put them in my fridge… ah

#thank u for that father of mine #he said this to my mother not to me #but also #no one is stopping you from putting your name on groceries that you buy for yourself #sorry that when I buy a $15 block of artisan cheese I don’t want to share it with 6 other people #and I make that known to them #his specific comment was about how #everyone is so entitled putting their names on their groceries but they can all help themselves to mine whenever #which #okay #I’m the only person with their name on anything in the fridge #and again this is because I buy specialty juices or cheese that isn’t in our normal grocery roster #and his groceries are for making dinner with usually #not to mention I make dinner on Thursday for my whole family and half of my groceries are for that #anything I need that we don’t typically get when my mom goes to the store is something I go purchase #any produce or leftover food from what I make for dinner is up for grabs #but my cheeses and juice r mine #so to prevent them from being taken my name is there #if u don’t want things you buy to get taken this seems like fair practice #no one is stopping u from doing the same thing I do so your stuff doesn’t get eaten #bc again there’s 7 people who live here and it’s hard to keep track of who buys what #so obviously my name is on things for me #sorry for ranting on a Tumblr post that’s just stupid #sorry you decided to have a family and now have to provide for them as a result #I am 23 and I pay rent and I (none of ur other kids) go out of my way to cook for everyone every Thursday #and I do dishes and clean the kitchen before and after and whenever I have time during the week #but no I’m super entitled bc sometimes I want to be the only one who eats the artisan olives I bought for myself

anyway i need to hang out with my brother again he is the one person who i am pretty sure knows literally everything about me so he's the only person i trust that i can absolutely not disappoint. nothing i can do could be worse than the sum of everything i've been doing to that poor man (and him to me) the past 19 years

#especially now that im back into literally the only interest we actually share on a deep enough level to enjoy it together LOL #i mean we were also both into hannibal but thats just not an enjoyable show to watch together its too much effort #but wow that time we read das boot slash fanfic on the bus together that was awesome #and the time we wrote fanfic together lol LITERALLY WHY DID WE STOP #he has only gotten cooler and more comfortable with his gayness since then we need to write fanfic again ‼️#anyway i feel sorry for every person in my life but i dont think anyone ill ever know could ever have as close a relationship to me as him #were platonic soulmates lol but like not in the spiritual sense bc its pretty obvious that its not some supernatural bond #its juuuust shared trauma haha and the fact that our trauma is so complex and layered that only we will ever truly understand each other #there has been a really rough patch where we practically did not talk for 4... 5? whole years im serious. maybe on the weekends sometimes #while we were stewing in our own shit. but now were inseperable i think it actually pisses off the rest of our family because every time #theres some event where we meet again (we live like 5 hours apart) we only hang around for like an hour before we get in his car #and drive somewhere and hang out there for the rest of the day and night and only return at like 3am drunk #in a sense i guess were catching up on all the missed time #to be honest we both had some horrible shit going on in our heads me with the transgenderism and toxic relationship #him with his anger issues and (what he calls) psychopathy. like ill say this much he was not a good person as a child he was a devil #he was quite literally what some describe as born evil like u know those satans spawns kids that cut off babys fingers and dissect rabbits #all that yk. and i was his first and most frequent victim due to availability lol and my parents did not know any of it and if they did #they ignored it. so yeah u can imagine the relationship was a little strained and for a long time i lived in fear of him #also due to all the death threats and attempts on my life HAHA its kinda funny because i can say all this all detached now #but i think to anyone else this sounds mad as hell. like im not talking roughhousing or being mad at each other #he was always scarily calm and hyperintelligent he was actually diagnosed with some form of like super high intelligence that #makes kids capable of being really manipulative and thats what he used at every turn. everything was always calculated that was scary #if he was nice to me i would question if he was trying to lure me somewhere to hurt me yk?#anyway. sometimes those old thoughts come back when were hanging out alone but mostly i know hes changed and worked on himself #sorry oversharing oh wow

why does everything have to be a hecking issue with my sister

#she keeps getting on my case about the Theatre Boy thing which I would just like to hecking leave in the past #she keeps getting on my case bc I wear short shorts and spaghetti strap tank tops AROUND THE HOUSE AS LOUNGE CLOTHES #she's like DO YOU EVEN CARE ABOUT MODESTY and I'm like YOU WALK AROUND IN SHORTS AND A SPORTS BRA ALL THE TIME #(possibly bc I thought I could get away with wearing lounge clothes with a long shawl thing overtop the other day to worship practice #but I did in fact change my trousers after my mama pointed out that it wasn't super modest)#she keeps making comments about how I do inappropriate stuff on my phone bc I... watch one(1) sitcom?????#shows like that are IRREVERENT AS HECK like come on of course I'm not going to be totally open with my kid sister about them #I am an ADULT I can make my own choices about what content I will put up with in media #I can make my own choices about clothing if I think my mom's idea of ''anything more than an inch above the knee #is immodest'' is silly and restrictive for my body shape and comfort level personally #like... why does she have to act so high and mighty around me? she's in MIDDLE SCHOOL and I know I haven't always been the nicest to her #but I'm making the effort. I'm trying to get along with her and what I get is disdain on the daily in return :/#our mom said it's probably bc she was hoping I wouldn't move back in so she'd have our room to herself and now she's mad #that I'm back bc she has to share a space again and like I KNOW middle school ages SUCK I've BEEN THERE #but still I just. want to get along. but she picks on me and then I get frustrated and then I snap at her and it just doesn't end well #it's a nasty cycle tbh. I'm praying about it.#Lu rambles #personal #delete later

this might be a hot take... but if you care about disavowing media made by bad people out of fear of looking like a bad person yourself more than you care about actually doing good things... you might have your priorities (and your morals) screwed up a bit :/

(see my tags for more of my thoughts on this topic! please try to avoid making make bad-faith assumptions about what i mean!)

#melonposting #there is a good case for not wanting to associate with something on account of the creator being harmful. sure whatever #but people have talked at length about the sort of moral ocd that it promotes when that idea is fervently preached and enforced #i don't know about you but i think there's a big difference between #a) not wanting people to associate with something because the media itself spouts harmful rhetoric #and because its bigoted creator both benefits from people engaging with the books and is idolized by many of the books' fans #and b) not wanting people to vocally enjoy ANYTHING made by ANYONE who's held any harmful ideology at any point #because doing so 'inherently' supports and spreads those harmful ideologies #it's true that you cannot separate the art from the artist #but good people can make bad art and bad people can make good art. artistic talent is not inherently correlated with the artist's morals #the goodness/badness of a person CAN seep into the art they make. and it often does. and that can affect one's enjoyment of it #but even then there's nuance to be had on how to deal with it #like my hero academia for example. when i started watching it in middle school i didn't know how misogynistic it would be #of course i ended up seeing it in the show (and god it's so misogynistic)#and i ended up learning that the 'joke' sexual-harasser character is a self-insert for the creator #which of course i could never get behind. the creator is undeniably a horrible guy #at the same time though the show means a lot to me and i've gained a lot from watching it #i won't elaborate here on how but believe me it isn't superficial. if you want to ask me about it i'd be happy to share #i can hold both in my mind. the disgust and the enjoyment. i don't think those have to be mutually exclusive #of course not everyone is like that; you could immediately stop liking the show on discovering the gross stuff. and that's your prerogative #i don't know... i agree with the values behind avoiding media made by people known to have moral failings #and in some cases (like harry potter and jkr) i fully endorse the values and the practice. but such cases are very specific #but in most cases i fear the practice is misguided and unnuanced and ultimately unhelpful in fulfilling one's values #it is largely a philosophical matter: about how an individual regards their moral standing in the context of themselves and other people #which is important to discuss - especially in our globalized internet age! speaking of which feel free to disagree with me #if you want to have a civil discussion i'm more than open to it #but no matter how important this matter... there are way more important ones in the world. especially right now #calling out people who watch a youtuber who said something bigoted 5 years ago does little to stop that bigotry overall #just have good morals and practice them! support oppressed people! be thoughtful and understanding and compassionate!#callouts and dni lists rarely make for impactful advocacy!!!

you can do things you're bad at for fun. people who throw fits about it might, themselves, benefit from some unqualified enrichment.

#sorry my for you tab featured a remarkably annoying post #about who should and shouldnt write essays and critique #and like #no anyone can actually.#writing our thoughts helps us process them #and explore them #and it can be really fun and fulfilling to share that with others #and like shit takes practice #it's a skill #also like. demanding all analysis and critique fit the same mindset or voice or lens is a great way to silo yourself #and lose perspective #and fail to expand your understanding of the underlying subject matter #but also like consider that not everything is for you #and sometimes people do things for themselves

waiiiitt I just realized the reason why I love QSMP so much as a concept is because it's kind of like my childhood growing up overseas oh my goooodddddd what if i cried

#its in the bonding over multicultural experiences #in school everyone would be from somewhere different from all over the world #and we were only at this place for a few years so we just vibed together and our differences didnt matter #but then sometimes we'd just end up talking about where we lived before #and sharing these crazy things we'd had as american kids in other countries #and we'd also for one reason or another have local kids sometimes talk about their own experiences as locals coming to the american school #and it was cool too!!#but coming back to live in the usa has been pretty isolating as someone who grew up outside here and no one else has left their state area #but the qsmp community has been bringing that culture exchange back into my life!!#and it's SOOO amazing to see people learning about outside their world and be part of that culture exchange again #and no its not the same and im not saying its supposed to be!#i love it so much i love learning about the outside world and how humanity is so varied and so so special #thank you qsmp this silly minecraft server has brought back a part of my life i thought i left behind forever when my family moved back #now im actually practicing my german again and picking up on more basic spanish than i ever thought id get #and im getting reinspired to want to aim to go back overseas rather than stay in america for job oppertunities #i thought i was resolved to suffer here forever but theres still a world out there thats not perfect but if my place isnt here its okay!

Hiya honey girl!

How are you doing? ♥️

I feel gay today, and I don’t have anyone to vent to, so it’s gonna be you I’m afraid

I feel so gay, I spent half the day looking longingly in the distance, and *sighing* wishfully

Do you ever feel like that?

Last week I bought a red rose from a dude in the street and offered it to a beautiful lady singer in a bar, and even if I don’t particularly want to see her again, it still felt good to do something chivalrous and lesbiany you know?

I like living my life on my own, but some days I wish I could do those romantic things with somebody, like holding hands and cuddling, and walking along the river, and maybe kissing a little.

Even if I’m happy by myself, sometimes I still yearn for the day I’ll have my own lady to offer my roses to 🥺

inkaaaa hi hi <3

I'm doing pretty good, in drastic need of a weekend. almost there!

!!! gay vents are always welcome here! oh to look longingly into the distance whilst sighing wishfully...

do I ever feel like that YES absolutely in fact while pondering my response I did just that asjdfkl okay I might ramble in the tags but yeah completely relate to be happy with life on my own but sometimes wishing it wasn't just me yeah I'm definitely going to ramble in the tags

offering a beautiful lady a rose I'm 🥺🥺 sometimes you just have to indulge in chivalrous lesbiany actions this is unavoidable. manifesting this for you, I hope all your rose offering yearnings come true!

#this is so sweet and very relatable alksdfjs #only opting to ramble in the tags instead of the response bc I feel like this is going to get long lol you've been warned #but yeah. definitely do feel the happy by myself but sometimes wish I could be sharing that time with others #sometimes if i'm watching tv I'll wonder what new shows or movies I'd be watching if someone else was here #instead of the same eight shows I just watch on rotation all year (this is bc I like them btw. it's just hard to watch new shows #without external motivation to do so)#or when I'm working on the blanket that's been in progress almost two years. I wonder if I'd be making it in someone else's favorite colors #lot of little thoughts like this. some are fleeting and others I tend to get stuck on a bit or overthink #like breakfast for example. would I eat breakfast more consistently if I was also making it for someone else? what if they prefer to eat #the same thing every day? i need variety but I could make sure we always have their favorite fruit or put their cereal box out to make it #easier. or if getting the cereal out is part of their routine i can make sure their favorite bowl is always clean #i find myself wondering which of my mugs would be their favorite? which of theirs would be my favorite?#yeah i'm an acts of service person can you tell. also quality time... can you imagine the shared floor time conversations #a lot of the time I picture myself doing the exact same thing like watching tv and playing switch or practicing music or even working #the biggest different is just that someone else would also be here doing their own thing #to scroll tumblr in silence from the same couch... sending each other posts even though we're both right there. I do miss that #even chores would be more fun and go quicker I think. racing to see if they can do the dishes faster than I can fold and hang laundry #tidying and putting our things together in shared spaces. seeing them side by side just like we are #making the bed together and putting each of our stuffed animals on our own side #or maybe I'd just make it so they have one less thing to worry about #I think i've exposed myself enough alskdfj but there are quite literally hundreds more where those came from #anyway who wants to admit they have a crush on me (kidding) (ish)#asks #oops after posting this is looks like way more tags than I thought it would sorry anyone who made it this far

Every morning when I hear my alarm clock going off I debate staying in bed and skipping class until I remember how much I'm paying in tuition...... And then I get to class and realise it wasn't worth it and I shoulda stayed in bed.

#Uni shenanigans #i will continue to not skip classes though simply cus the thought of wasting hundreds of pounds stresses me out #truly not worth it though. the amount of timew im retaught the same content is ridiculous #my monday professor is so disorganised she keeps planning practicals that she doesnt have equipment for and then tells us to #download an app for???? maam do you understand how much in paying for these classes? she provided one auger for our class yesterday and #was like youll just have to find each other around campus to share it between yourselves????? what??

A message from a few of the trans staff at Tumblr & Automattic:

We want trans people, and LGBTQ+ people broadly, to feel welcome on Tumblr, in part because we as trans people at Tumblr and Automattic want it to be a space where we ourselves feel included. We want to feel like this is a platform that supports us and fights for our safety. Tumblr is made brighter and more vibrant by your presence, and the LGBTQ+ folks who help run it are fighting all the time for this, for you, internally.

A few days ago, Matt Mullenweg (the CEO of Automattic, Tumblr’s parent company) responded to a user’s ask about an account suspension in a way that negatively affected Tumblr’s LGBTQ+ community. We believe that Matt's response to this ask and his continued commentary has been unwarranted and harmful. Tumblr staff do not comment on moderation decisions as a matter of policy for a variety of reasons—including the privacy of those involved, and the practicalities of moderating thousands of reports a day. The downside of this policy is that it is very easy for rumors and incorrect information about actions taken by our Trust & Safety team to spread unchecked. Given this, we want to clarify a few different pieces of this situation:

The reality of predstrogen's suspension was not accurately conveyed, and made it seem like we were reaching for opportunities to ban trans feminine people on the platform. This is not the case. The example comment shared in the post linked above does not meet our definition of a realistic threat of violence, and was not the deciding factor in the account suspension.

Matt thereafter failed to recognize the harm to the community as a result of this suspension. Matt does not speak on behalf of the LGBTQ+ people who help run Tumblr or Automattic, and we were not consulted in the construction of a response to these events.

Last year, the "mature" and "sexual themes" community labels were erroneously applied to some users' posts. An outside team of contractors tasked with applying community labels to posts were responsible for this larger trend of mislabeling trans-related content. When our Trust & Safety team discovered this issue (thanks largely to reports from the community), we removed the contracted team’s ability to apply community labels and added more oversight to ensure it does not happen again. In the Staff post about this, LGBTQ+ staff pushed to be more transparent but were overruled by leadership. The termination of a contractor mentioned in the original ask response was for an unrelated incident which was incorrectly attributed to this case. We regret that the mislabeling ever happened, and the negative impact it has had on the trans community on Tumblr.

Transition timelines are not against our community guidelines, and weren’t a factor considered by the moderation team when discussing suspensions and subsequent appeals. We do not take action against content that is related to transitioning or trans bodies unless it includes violations of the Community Guidelines.

When it comes to the experience of trans folks on Tumblr encountering transphobic content, and interacting with bigoted users, we understand and share your frustrations. Tumblr’s policies, and Automattic’s policies, are written to ensure freedom of speech and expression. We prohibit harassment as defined in our Community Guidelines, but we know that this policy falls short of protecting users from the wider scope of harmful speech often used against LGBTQ+ and other marginalized people.

Going forward, Tumblr is taking the following actions:

Prioritizing anti-harassment features that will empower users to more effectively protect themselves from harassment.

Building more internal tooling for us as Staff to proactively identify and mitigate instances of harassment.

Reviewing which of the tags frequently used by the trans community are blocked, and working to make them available next week.

We’re sorry for how this all transpired, and we’re actively fighting to make our voices heard more and prevent something like this from happening again in the future. We know firsthand that having to deal with situations like this as a Tumblr user is difficult, particularly as a member of an already frequently targeted and harassed community. We know it will take time to regain your trust, and we’re going to put in the work to rebuild it.

We appreciate the space we have been given to express our concerns and dissent, and we are thankful that Matt’s (and Automattic’s) strong commitment to freedom of expression has facilitated it.

We will continue to fight to make Tumblr safe for us all.

— This statement was authored by multiple trans employees of Tumblr and Automattic.
