hello hello! I know this has probably been done before and I am possibly not the only one making a list for this this year, but ah well. here's my prompts for it!

you can do this as writing prompts if you want, whatever floats your boat. some specification:

by underrated I mean anything from the show you think is underrated, by the fandom or the show! a character, a scene, a bit of lore you would've loved to see more of, etc etc. anything you want to see more of content wise. by sport I mean any magical sport on the isles, established in canon or you making it up. fake screenshot is a fake screenshot of a scene that didn't happen in canon, imitating the style. and by demon I mean one of the demons on the isles! these prompts are vague so you can be creative, I'm sorry if they aren't the best haha. and for the shitty image quality I'm not the best at formatting.

you can only do a few prompts, or late submissions, or if you find this list way after october ends feel free to do it! no time limit. just have fun! also, you can start early!

happy drawing! tag your works as candyskiez tohtober if that's ok so I can find and reblog your work! excited to see what you guys make :D

[shey-pancake]

Hello, I'm back.

I never expected to come back to tumblr for this reason, but it has been brought to my attention that certain people are making claims and theories about the quinn doc and I already had a problem with someone who joined my discord server only to harass me about it, when I told them multiple times to stop doing that.

I cannot force people to believe what it's true, everyone has different views and perspectives on the document, I can respect that, I cannot stop you, believe what you want, you want to stay in the SaD fandom and separate the art/believe is false? do it, you wanna leave because it makes you uncomfortable? do it, you wanna remain neutral? okay, but please for the love of god-

STOP. HARASSING. MY. SOCIAL. ACCOUNTS.

For example, this acc that was shared with me via DM, was dedicated to try to investigate further about the quinn doc and about quinn on the internet etc etc, that's fine, you do what you do, but try to take PERSONAL stuff about me that has nothing to do with the quinn doc, it's completely disrespectful. I kindly remind people that all I've been involved with in this document is to help on it and SHARE IT. Nothing else. I don't have anything to do with this, nothing, all I did was to be shared with the info, be asked for help with the doc, and share it because I had a larger amount of followers so I would spread more awareness, but if you are mad about it, you wanna argue or something I'm sorry but I'm not the person for you to do that towards.

All I was asked for was to help and share, what you believe, make theories about it, assumptions, claims etc it's up to you, I don't care because I already did what I was asked to do, and if not further info was shared is because I didn't get permission to share them, period, you have to learn to respect others boundaries.

Now, on another topic, there has been rumors about me following or supporting "AnonymousDeliah" which is completely fake, these are false claims.

first:

This person is following me but not the other way arround.

They tried to get in contact with me, I tried to respectfully tell them to not get me involved in this since all I was asked to do with the other doc is to help in it and share it, with the proper evidence and stuff.

They were continously trying many times to push me or pressure me subtly to share the doc they recently did, or the twitter threads they did, despite looking suspiciously and almost completely fake, long time ago I was shared with a Quinn's art archive drive, and I noticed where the parts they edited came from since that drive had almost every single art quinn had, except for the ones that no one knew about (the doc).

Even after told them to stop trying to get me to get involved in this once more, they kept insisting me, and I was considering even block them after asking me so many times despite telling them to not.

Here are the screenshots of when we last talked, it has been months this person has trying to pressure me into looking into their completely not fake case + share it and help them.

And yeah, I don't care what the ppl were making up for why I deactivated, I had a very shitty week for completely personal and different reasons so i wanted to stay out of there for a few hours, as i said, keep your make ups, theories, assumptions etc. to YOU.

Last I will say is that I will probably will be back to share my art here but if people start to harass me here I will leave and this time I won't come back, that's it, see ya later guys, and take care of yourselfes.

[nova-alien-jewposting]

HELLO i just wanted to say thank you for your comments on how western society is redefining the term zionism and how fucked that whole thing is. i’ve been watching leftist friends (who have stood up for Jewish people in the past) do this shit and i haven’t been able to put my finger on exactly why it’s been making me feel so uncomfy (other than the obvious). i was wondering if it would be okay to screenshot the post to share elsewhere? i was going to blur out your url out so people couldn’t find you and send shitty things, but wanted to make sure that was okay.

i’m goy (if i can use that term?) and i have learned a lot from the Jewish community here which has really helped me challenge both my views and helped me inform the people around me. It’s opened my eyes to how fucking scary this is getting in leftist circles, listening to people being totally fine with someone saying “wipe out Israel” is terrifying to me and i’m doing whatever i can to fight this narrative. it’s not much, but it’s the right thing to do and i can only hope it has some impact.

i am sending my love and my support and anything else i can offer to you and to your community. thank you for being here, thank you for existing, thank you for the exhausting work that you are doing (that you shouldn’t have to fucking do 🙃) to inform us. i shall keep on learning and educating as i learn and am educated. Please stay safe and take care of yourself.

omg i'm so sorry i totally forgot to post my response to this! i really appreciate your kind words here 🥺 i'd be absolutely honored if you were to use my posts to help educate other people! i hope you have an amazing day!

Fate ( part 2)

pairing : kartik aaran x fem reader

part1 ; https://www.tumblr.com/themaiden05/714953202326437888/fate-part-1?source=share

kartik couldn't stop thinking about her. Y/n , Y/n , Y/n it was all he could think about. how could he love someone he doesnt even know so madly? he didnt have an answer for that . she was making him feel all kinds of emotions and not just love, she was making him anxious at time , what if she believes all the kriti x kartik shipping going around the internet? what if she ships them too? what if she has a boyfriend? what if she has a fiancee? no no that cant be ,she's can only be y/n aaryan tiwari ! he wouldnt let any duffer's surname even get close to her. what if she's already married ? what if she is out of his reach already? His thoughts were getting ahold of him. He even called his sister Y/n once , good thing she didnt pay attention . he searched her up on instagram , facebook , twitter but there were a million women with the name Y/n, Not knowing her surname made it worse. a lot of public profiles , and profiles with a Dp was out of the way , kartik knew what his y/n looked like, he didnt even need to look at the screenshot he took, her face was imprinted onto his heart . but then there were a lot of profiles with no profile pictures or random profile pictures . he wasnt even sure if her name was her account name so social media was a fail

"any lead?" kriti asked . she was as dedicated in finding kartik's dream girl as he was

"nope, nothing yet"

" what if we just ask the principal of the college for some info?"

"and what are we gonna say? hello sir! I am in love with one of your students , so can I get her instagram id and biodata. he would kick us both out"

"yeah! youre right. did you get anything else from the college website?"

"NO , what we found before was the only thing about her in the entire website"

" you know what Im hungary, lets go eat something . Ive heard there's a new chinese restaurant in town" kriti said standing up from her chair

"no yaar , Im not hungry!"

" I heard its near lourde college"

kartik jumped up from his seat

"what are we waiting for? lets go , Im so hungry!"

kriti laughed at his newfound excitement

"ya lets go"

kartik and kriti had done their best to disguise themselves. they dont want the pap to spread yet another rumour of them being heads over heel in love with each other. the huge glasses , beanie ,mask and hoodie were certainly doing there job . no one has recognised them yet. they find a table and sit facing each other.

"oh my god kartik"

"what is it kriti?" kartik asks .

"its-

kriti didnt even have to finish . kartik could sense the familiar scent . he could hear someone sitting on the chair behind them. he turned around. she was right there. His y/n . In a satin green dress, her hair opened and flying slightly in the wind. Her eyes are searching for someone. kartik's heart drops once he sees the guy walking towards her , smiling . he sees her smiling back . The smle he always imagined shed give him when he says how beautiful she is to him , The smile she'd give him when he gets her flowers and give her a pecks on her cheek before leaving for shooting. But he isnt the one getting that smile from her right now and it breaks his heart . He isnt some kabir singh to go out there to force her away from him. she looks happy and thats what he'd want the most , for her to be happy

"sorry , I'm late "

"its ok adi"

kartik hears them talk. kriti is ranting about something but kartik can focus only on what you are saying.

"ehh, youre wearing this green dress again?

"its my favourite dress adi "

"it looks shitty"

what kind of a man is he ? who talks to their girlfriend like that? if he doesnt like the dress why doesnt he just tell it to her nicely? why is she letting him talk to her like that? a million question runs over his head

'' Im gonna use the restroom real quick"

"ya ok but dont take ages. I have to go soon after this , i cant be stuck with you for too long"

stuck with her? where did she even find this douchebag from ? who can't even spend some time with her? Is she hurt from what he said ? has she gone to the restroom to cry?

"im gonna go check on her kriti"

"what!? kartik but-" kriti doesnt even finish before kartik jumps over the chair and walks over to the restroom.

as kartik walks in he sees y/n standing in front of the mirror. she doesnt look like she cried but what if she's really good at hiding emotions

"y/n" kartik calls out.

"who are you?" she looks terrified . thats when kartik remembered his glasses mask and beanie , he looks like a goddamn serial killer. he takes off his glasses and mask

"kartik aaryan?"

"you dont have to call my entire name like that! just call me kartik or koki"kartik ranted out . he could hear his heart beat out of his chest. he could see her blushing

"what are you doing here?"

"oh my friend wanted to try out this restaurant!"

"The restaurant or its women's restroom?"

"oh shit ! this is the women's restroom? great here we go again . I swear im not a pervert , fate just brings me into women's restrooms sometimes"

"fate?" y/n starts laughing . she looks so pretty to him doing so

"this is yours i assume?" kartik takes out her badge from his pocket. good thing he takes it everywhere with him to remind him of her

"oh yeah ! i had lost it the day i met you at another women's restroom"

they both chuckle and walks out kartik puts his glasses and mask back on . he wants to say and ask a lot more but the fact that she has a boyfriend waiting for her stops him. he still muster up the courage to ask her full name but before he could finish they are interrupted by someone. its adi he is still looking down at his phone as he speaks

"i have to go now "

"but we didnt even order yet"

''oh come on man, we'll do this some other time and besides i promised riya from office a movie together"

kartik is on the verge of losing his shit . how can he talk to his girlfriend like that and choose another women over her? why isnt she saying anything?

adi takes his eyes of his phone and looks at the man in front of him

"who's this duffer?"

kartik loses his shit completely and punches him on his nose. adi stumbles back in pain

"thats what you get for treating youre girlfriend like that "

"bhaiyya!!!" y/n runs from kartik's behind to adi

"bhaiyya?oh fuck" kriti always told kartik he's dumb and now it was as if he has realised it

"what the fuck man? who's girlfriend? what girlfriend?" adi asks while covering his nose with his hand

kartik runs over to him

"im so sorry bhaiyya! there was a huuuge misunderstanding"

"whaaaat!? who the hell are you man and why the hell are you calling me bhaiyya"

"you are her bhaiyya , youre my bhaiyya why does it matter bhaiyya?"

y/n chuckles at kartik's remark and their eyes meet . kartik is so relieved that this man he just punched is no one other than his future brother in law but it really was kind of a bad first impression but he'll make up for it

"y/n ask this guy to leave" adi grunts in pain

"koki ! leave"

"koki? so no more kartik aaryan"

y/n blushed and looked down

"ill get going now bhaiyya do put some ice on it itll be alright"

"get outta here dickhead before i punch you back"

"ok ok" before he left he leaned closer to y/n

"you know where to find me" and he walked away from his y/n who was now a blushing mess and her brother a bloody mess.......

(bhaiyya: brother)

to be continued......

Hello Tumblr I'm not dead. Life has sucked ass but I'm too mad and it's too much to describe so somewhat NSFW and cringe COD OC art dump under the cut. Came up with this in a day. This entire sketch was cause I was bored, waiting for my phone to charge and it took FOREVVERRR to even come to life so I decided to sketch/jot down ideas 4 my Little Army Dreamers Fallout (only the show cause I'm weak) inspired AU which. Is a lot.

So I will post screenshots of a synopsis and make a separate blog to post my stuff unless the COD ppl are rocking with me. Anyway um. Here's some doodles out of the way. Shitty ones first 2 build up expectations cause I'M SOO out of practice but anyway pls give me attention I need it m so proud of myself I wanna put these on the fridge....(NOT THIS))

Actually nvm here's an example to hopefully entice u....

Mr stick figure Riley. Ugh. Not very happy with the face but basically. 19 year old rookie goes through shit within a three year span, gets drunk at a banquet hall 2 weeks after a grueling mission bc Price dragged my super cool, war criminal self insert there 2 cool off. Kid goes off on a room full of Generals and royalty and corporate oligarchs and then while he's drunken and coked up and he can barely move and shit, he starts WWIII. In the fucking hall. And the BIG goal is to blow up the Pentagon (IN COD, FBI AGENTS IN COD) to stop them from dropping the big atomic bomb and they have FIVE DAYS to do it!!!.

And this is AFTER the NPD, OCD Autism and more ridden Sargeant goes from fuckin. Scared rookie, to respected team player, to a fierce Sargeant, to the most hated man in the WORLD. All because he didn't wanna go to a stupid fucking party. Anyway here it goes hope this is at least interesting. I **will** make a series. Whether it's an OC/self insert or a reader insert or even new characters to make it super my own. But I hope you guys like it. I'll shut up now and please be nice about any constructive criticism lmao.

LAMEEEEE BOO-HOOO. Not awful like. An artist DIDE draw these and this was my first time drawing Riley so I'm sorry that he's so weird. I hope y'all like my other designs cause they're so good. Gonna stfu let the pics talk and see where it goes from here

But I'll shut up and give my detailed thoughts either in the reblogs or I'll edit them in later. Here it GOES!!!!

This took under 2 hours. Arthritic hands didn't do SHIT!!! Not a fan of everything but considering it was just a bored sketch and not actually meant 2 be anatomy practice, I hope y'all like it. Thank the Lord for big, buff men who could kill me. I NEED. Bf soon man. Any of these body types are fuckin awesome. Please feel free to comment and be as annoying as you want about this bc I want it to b enjoyed.

[caladamn]

I'm not even gonna venture onto DR twitter rn cause I know the Plane hate will piss me off. Like... I completely understand not liking what she said or agreeing with it! But it pisses me off when people call someone racist, misogynistic, homophobic, transphobic (you get the idea) for no reason when whatever they said just doesn't warrant that reaction?? I don't know much about Chappell and I'm sure she's a lovely woman, and PJ deffo (just for her own sake tbh) shouldn't have posted that cause, well... we now know how people react and she probs should have just sat in silence with it for a while longer (also idk if i'm not understanding fully, but did pj say she's heard some drag queens say that chappell is rude or did that not happen? cause i've only seen one screenshot of plane talking about it, but some are saying that PJ said that other drag queens have had been interactions with Chappell) ANYWAY, sorry for this ask - you don't have to answer it cause its so messy and all over the place lmao but it genuinely rubs me the wrong way... I think most of the people getting super angry over what she said are people that don't like pj, haven't from the start, and just kinda followed along with the overall fanbase when they started opening up to her, and they've been waiting for something to set them off (cause i remember people being set off during the lip sync smackdown episode when pj joked about amanda and quite a few people started calling her a bully again on twitter) i think everyone should just take a deep breath like i understand why people are mad or annoyed but it's the people REALLY going in on her that are pissing me all the way off like... fucking relax you're acting like she said something horrific

i 100% agree anon !

at first I was mostly annoyed by the fact that people just blew everything completely out of proportion (imo-- cause I really don't understand how "I don't vibe with this person" becomes "I think this person and everyone similar to this person is not valid"- ???). but then they started calling pj things that she's clearly not (there's multiple videos of her saying she loves women and lesbians, hello?). and I somewhat understand why seeing someone who's a white cis gay man being skeptical of a lesbian artist feeds into the narrative of gay men excluding queer women from queer spaces--- but that's literally not what pj did. and you're right, she did mention that she heard from local queens that had worked with chappell in the past that she wasn't the nicest (not sure how true this is, but if that's what she heard who am i, or anyone, to deny that).

and the worst part is that now they're using this to bring up past FALSE allegations against her. it's pretty obvious atp that these people don't actually care to defend the reason this whole discourse started for, they just want pj cancelled and gone. I've literally seen people just go on and on about how shitty of a person (they think) she is instead of defending lesbians or queer women who do drag. they don't care about queer women.

also, everyone's entitled to an opinion (!). all pj did was give her (albeit uninformed/incorrect) opinion/criticism on chappell. she never talked about lesbians as a whole. and even if she did. WHO CARES. there's more important things in the world and a person's opinion is not going to change anything or have any true impact on anyone's life. this is such stupid discourse imo.

[sandplague]

Hello! Sorry to bother (and for refollowing? I accidentally clicked unfollow instead of the inbox button the first time ;-; ) - I was wondering whether you had any tips for patho classic beginners! I'm planning to Finally start my first playthrough over the holidays, but I'm so bad at keeping track of multiple things at once + easily anxious that I'm not sure where to look first. I do have my mind made up to play and will be looking at multiple guides (empty brain vs. story completionist tendencies... Fight!) but any small tips would be much appreciated! If not, no worries!

hey that's fine I honestly just skim the notes this blog gets once in a while anyway so most of the time I don't notice if people unfollow or follow me lol. If you're going to be looking at guides you should be fine honestly, when I replay it to chill whenever I have a gap of time I will look at that old guide translated by theLxR occasionally and it's pretty thorough. So I'll try to add here more personal tips which won't be main walkthrough type things...

When the day starts I check the things that need to be done (main day's quest, sides, etc) plan what order they need to be done in and map out the route where I can pick up the most garbage/fill up the most water bottles/engage in trading(extremely important)/pick herbs etc. Never forget to check the garbage cans or to fill up your water bottles, it's easy to get lazy about it but the water is gold for trading with drunks for bandages. If you see any kids check what they're trading. At night if I had free time & good enough health I usually would kill bandits for money and loot. Stockpile everything. You can survive on kinda shitty sleep and food if you need the money. In Pathologic 2 I would absolutely not advise to buy the gun, just keep your knife sharp, but in Patho HD the guns are not as bad. I'm advising this because of some of the quests you have to do and also because the bandits can literally throw their damn knives at you in this game. Klara she's fine straight up killing with her hands most of the time which is very economical. Make sure you keep your weapon in shape, save often (seriously), buy the infected map every day. I would have a map you can mark up or an already marked up one of where all the shops are and for the haruspex and changeling scenarios make sure to get the herb map. If you want to fuck around and fly to see some nice views of the town you can use console commands, I would suggest trying to see the Theater performance every night...Take screenshots and write down some thoughts during each character scenario so you can compare what you were thinking each time when you finish all 3 maybe? I can't really think of anything else that wouldn't already be in a guide... I hope it's helpful!

Hey Huey zoomer, I had to get my meds. About the mess that is my generation

Tbh well…look how late Gen x and millenials in media act like? Hello the society of magic negroes?

“The most dangerous animal on the planet is white people!”- well does the Jews run the world too?

And not a funny joke, especially since the movie said that a black guy wanting to get with a white girl is going to destroy their magic

Isn’t that what the term, ESPECIALLY racist?

Also the Velma show, Mindeyyyy, yes there a lot of rich annoying white boys. We can check wiki and found out that you are from a white collar family

Also your ass is handling one of the most famous kids cartoon in history

That privilege right there

But back to “royal zoomers” i remember a screenshot pointing out that a lot of people were tolerated and not raised. They were thrown in front of the tv

And this happens to my generation, for some goddamn reason a lot of Gen x decided to throw the tablets at their kids to shut them up and not raised

And who they got their personalities from? Toxic millennials and Gen x who think white men are the root of all evil and such.

So when you have zoomers thinking that millennials and Gen x who still have unresolved parental issues into their goddamn late 20’s-40’s controlling media

WE HAD A FUCKING MOVIE LIONIZING THE DAHOMEY

Yeah my generation need to be held responsible for their actions…but they are told by Gen x and millennials who treated fictional characters like real people and real people like shit. That their shitty behavior is a okay

I’m an autistic abuser survivor that was abused by my white stepmom. And even at 13 I knew racism against white people was bad.

Oh right right that bitch is a millennial too…let just a whole bunch of late gen z and alpha gen are going to point out that current society enable their late gen x and millennials female relatives toxic af behaviors

Especially boys, like holy FUCK don’t be surprised how many men in the upcoming decades are weary af around women

Sorry for this essay, make sense?

Glad you got your meds, that's good news right there.

Magical Negros movie thing kinda dropped off the map from what I could see, which is good because it's not something we need out and about right now.

Looks like it's coming out to wide release in March so discourse will likely resume, sad.

As for Velma I think mindy kaling figured out it was garbage while she was making it but also realized it's a carer killer to admit that out loud so the shift to 'call them racist' happened and then quality is irrelevant so she just kept going.

Wild how we went from promoting tolerance to forcing people to adhere to specific dogmas.

Don't like the show, you don't watch it since it's made for people who will enjoy it, live and let live, and now we're here with opinion pieces telling us not liking it is a terrible thing somehow.

So when you have zoomers thinking that millennials and Gen x who still have unresolved parental issues into their goddamn late 20’s-40’s controlling media

I think it's still boomers at the top making the big decisions, but the crossover is happening, people on screen ya it's gonna be gen x and millennials.

Gen-X doesn't really have the parental issues though we're fairly self reliant, call it a positive or negative of the 'latchkey kid' life however you like, 2 income families were a newer thing and they didn't know what to do with us so we worked it out on our own.

Uber boomer sounding rant I'll put under a cut that actually is fairly accurate.

WE HAD A FUCKING MOVIE LIONIZING THE DAHOMEY

Still funny, not sure what the point of doing that particular movie was but if it was to showcase strong black women, yes it did that but it also forced a reckoning for people that have been dismissing any accountability for the various African kingdoms that captured, catalouged, and sold the slaves

related tangent, was waiting for one of these asks of yours to pop in because I've got a nice link for you that I've been holding on to for ya.

Great African Kingdoms

This collection presents a small sampling of the many great African kingdoms that rose and fell from the ancient period when Punt traded with Egypt up through the common era. Each kingdom developed a distinct culture and corresponding art and religious belief that continues to influence people around the world in the present day.

Went through a few of the articles linked in there, interesting stuff and it's not just different kingdoms either despite the title of the page.

Carrying on

Yeah my generation need to be held responsible for their actions…but they are told by Gen x and millennials who treated fictional characters like real people and real people like shit. That their shitty behavior is a okay

I blame a lot of that one the early gen-x who birthed the early millennials, tail end boomers early gen-x gave us the participation trophy.

I’m an autistic abuser survivor that was abused by my white stepmom. And even at 13 I knew racism against white people was bad.

Puts you leagues ahead of loads of people who have trouble with that concept. Very positive knowledge to have.

Especially boys, like holy FUCK don’t be surprised how many men in the upcoming decades are weary af around women

We're there already, it's looking like it may get worse though, sadly. The ideological divide between men and women is getting weird too I didn't expect the left right thing to go the way it has, it's a push back on the various abuses of the system that have happened though I'd guess.

Sorry for this essay, make sense?

little jankey but I got it fine since that's how my brain do too.

Again, glad you got your meds and are taking them that's a very good thing, another Gen-X thing we still have the stigma associated with "Prozac Nation" sitting in the backs of our heads no matter what we try to bash in to the normal bit.

Hope you enjoy the African Kingdom links and now it's a boomerish Gen-X rant under the cut time.

that last line is cringe, lol

I'm sorry if I'm ruining someone's mood, but I want to say the most.

I can still draw them since I have screenshots from different fan games (well, only from CU and 2kki), but I still don't know how it will turn out next and when I will continue to draw NPCs from various YN fangames, since one of the most disliked offices blocked access to many sites that have ECH (Encrypted Client Hello) encryption with them. To be honest, I do not know how YNOProject works, but it stopped working for me for several days, completely, even Microsoft Edge could not run it properly for only one day. It's very, very shitty and terrible <3

[image ID: texts from a number labeled “Unknown Number”

1.

Them: Hello, I’m sorry, this is going to sound weird but please give me a chance. When you were eighteen, did you have a childhood friend named Carli that you lost contact with after you left to go to college? You: Um, hi? Who the fuck is this? Carli? You: This is an extremely creepy way to get back in touch if so. Them: No, this isn’t Carli.

2.

Them: One of the last times you two hung out, she told you that she missed when your parents let you sleepover. She was putting eyeliner on you because she had been talking about how all guys look good in eyeliner and you said you didn’t know how to do it. You: Okay, yeah, I get it, you know a creepy amount about me. You’ve got me freaked out, congrats. You: Now who are you and WHAT THE FUCK do you want

3.

Them: I’m you Them: Sort of You: I am literally five seconds from blocking this number Them: No, please, listen Them: That night after you went home you didn’t wipe the eyeliner off and the next morning you looked in the mirror and it was all gross looking and you just cried and you didn’t know why

4.

Them: You didn’t tell anybody about that, ever, right? You: ..no, I definitely told some people about that. Them: You did?! You: I mean, yeah, at some point. You: I didn’t give Carli’s name though. You: But it was kind of the first crack in the dam for me so like yeah I brought it up sometimes in therapy and such

5.

Them: First crack in the dam? You: okay seriously though who the fuck is this Them: My name is [blacked out]. I think yours was, once. Or is? Them: Please don’t block me. If I’m right, you’re the first one I found that did it You: The first one who did what? You: I am so fucking over this

6.

You: You show up from a masked number dropping stalker knowledge from my life and claim to be, what, my deadname self You: This is a lot of effort for a shitty prank Them: No, please. I know this must be creepy You: No shit Them: I’m you. I mean it Them: We’re 46 and love the color blue

7.

Them: On our third birthday our parents got us a TMNT playset that included April O’Neil and the idea of playing as April gave us such weird feelings that we rarely touched it You: WHAT DO YOU WANT Them: When we were a teen we were interested in multiverse stuff right Them: Like we watched Sliders and loved the movie Sliding Doors and wondered about alternate realities and different timelines

8.

Them: And we wondered if there were worlds where things were different for us You: The episode where Quinn’s alternate universe self was a girl Them: Yeah Them: Exactly You: ok You: you

9.

You: fuck You: This is stupid You: Ok you’re saying that you’re me Them: From another timeline You: contacting me by fucking TEXT MESSAGE Them: I ended up getting my PhD in Physics You: No I fucking didn’t

10.

You: I got my Bachelors in Physics but then I realized that it wasn’t worth the loans and started working in coding instead Them: Ok, you didn’t but *I* did Them: And I just Them: I needed to know You: I am losing my mind Them: You’re not

11.

You: I’m going to take a walk for a couple minutes Them: Please don’t leave You: If you don’t want me to block this number then you need to give me a minute Them: ok You: write all you want. I hope you have a point when I get back Them: ok

12.

Them: i’m sorry Them: Please don’t block this Them: Listen I just Them: I don’t even know how to say this Them: I needed to know if there was a universe where I figured it out Them: I’m in my mid forties. I’m alone. I’m in prime midlife crisis stage Them: And for years, for decades, I have felt this hole in me Them: a void

13.

Them: And it’s eating me alive Them: did you figure it out? It sounds like… like you did. Like you aren’t a guy anymore Them: right? Them: I just Them: I needed to know Them: I know it’s too late, that I wasted too much time Them: I was too scared to think about it Them: but I just

14.

Them: fuck Them: I’m sorry I don’t actually know what i thought I would do at this point Them: I thought maybe I’d Them: feel better but I don’t You: jesus that’s a lot of messages hold on Them: I’m sorry You: ok.

15.

Them: ok? You: ok You: You.. are telling me You: You worked out how to, what, contact parallel timelines Them: yeah, in a very limited scope You: jesus christ You: you know that therapy is easier that proving multiverse theory, right?

16.

Them: it sure didn’t feel that way to me You: no offense but it seems like you have some fucked-up priorities Them: probably You: I don’t know what to do with this Them: me neither Them: I thought it would fix something You: how long have you worked on this?

17.

Them: i mean. I don’t know how to measure that, really. It sounds like you didn’t stick to physics You: right Them: so I guess you could say two decades Them: but i didn’t realize i was working on THIS until, you know Them: a few years ago You: A FEW YEARS

18.

Them: yeah i know it’s stupid You: ok You: listen I’m.. fuck. Ok. assuming this is whatever the fuck you’re saying it is You: I’m going to try to be understanding Them: thanks You: because it sounds like you’re not doing so hot

19.

Them: No, I’m really not You: So yeah. Ok. Let’s do this. Yeah, I’m a girl in this timeline. Them: Can I ask what your name is? You: Gaby Them: As in Gabrielle? You: if you’re asking if I named myself after Xena’s girlfriend I think you probably already know the answer

20.

Them: yeah Them: Just 90s kids things huh You: so hey that brings up a point You: how did you know we’d have the same childhood Them: different timelines are different “distances” away Them: if I targeted a narrow enough range I could kind of… approximate timelines that only diverged after we were an adult

21.

Them: or, you know, nominally an adult You: adult enough to invent quantum communication, not adult enough to see a therapist Them: ouch You: I mean i say it with love Them: do you? You: yeah, I do

22.

You: listen if I suspend my disbelief enough to be having this conversation then You: I hurt for you You: I had some pretty dark times before I broke myself out You: So--creepiness of this entire situation aside--if you’re really [blacked out] then fuck. I’m sorry. Them: I mean, it’s not your fault You: oh my god

23.

You: in that timeline am I seriously one of those people who hears a sympathy “sorry” and misinterprets it to deflect??? That’s disappointing Them: ...you’re really different than I expected You: How so Them: You’re so… I don’t know. Assertive? You: Yeah, I can see that

24.

You: well it turns out when you’re not being crushed under a mountain of dysphoria you find a lot of energy for, like You: being a person Them: so it is dysphoria? You: [blacked out], you broke the laws of physics to find out if you could be a girl You: I’m gonna say yeah that’s dysphoria Them: ok fair

25.

Them: it just… never felt like what they said it was supposed to feel like You: Yeah well “they” are usually cis people writing movies about how sad and pathetic trans people are You: so it turns out “they” actually don’t know what they’re talking about Them: when did you figure it out? You: i mean hell, i don’t know. There wasn’t a day.

26.

You: There was like three years of depression and drinking and lots of weed and crying Them: yeah that part sounds familiar You: well I guess my weed was a better strain than yours because at the end of it I decided You: I don’t know You: that I’d rather try and be wrong then keep wondering Them: I was too afraid

27.

Them: what if my wife left or what if i lost my job or You: you’re married? Them: I was Them: Nicole? We met in grad school so I guess you didn’t know her You: yeah i didn’t date a Nicole Them: I couldn’t hold it together

28.

Them: she couldn’t be with someone who was so Them: i don’t know Them: not-there You: I’m sorry. I’m really sorry. Them: yeah, me too. Them: she deserved better You: i mean, so did you You: so DO you

29.

Them: do you have anyone? You: several Them: ...huh You: yeah listen it turns out You: being a lesbian works a lot better for us than being a straight guy Them: I’m glad for you

30.

You: Why did you choose adulthood? Them: what? You: like. Why didn’t you try to find a universe where we were born a girl You: if your goal was to find a girl universe Them: …I don’t know Them: That felt like… cheating?

31.

You: unlike breaking the laws of physics, which is not cheating Them: you said you’d be nicer You: I’m TRYING this is just You: a lot Them: I didn’t want a timeline where the universe fixed it You: oh Them: It just didn’t feel right

32.

You: no I get it You: you didn’t want a different random number for the world generation You: you wanted to know if YOU did it Them: right You: I mean we have to assume that SOMETHING about the world was different You: like a butterfly flapped its wings and so I took estrogen

33.

You: or something Them: fuck [long pause] You: ...are you there? Them: yeah You: sorry, was that You: did that hurt? Them: yeah i just Them: sorry i’m crying i just

34.

You: hey it’s ok Them: of course something somewhere was different Them: or else you’d be me Them: at the very least some synapse that didn’t fire for me fired for you Them: but I just needed to see that it was POSSIBLE Them: that I COULD HAVE DONE IT You: doesn’t that make it worse?

35.

You: like You: I feel like you’re hurting yourself Them: maybe Them: but I just couldn’t sit with the question anymore You: I think that’s the difference Them: what? You: I couldn’t sit with the question either

36.

You: and for me I guess I decided the only way to find out was to roll the dice Them: and I decided the only way to find out was to watch someone else play You: [blacked out] You: ...god it feels weird to use that name sorry You: listen You: I feel like you’re self-harming

37.

Them: no, we stopped that in our teens You: physically yeah but there’s other types of harm Them: well what the fuck else am I supposed to do??? You: listen, you’re hurting Them: NO SHIT You: please You: stop

38.

Them: sorry Them: sorry this isn’t your fault You: it’s not You: and it’s not yours either Them: i mean like you said, i chose to do this instead of therapy Them: or whatever You: ok fair You: but I get it, too

39.

You: I remember growing up in Georgia You: I remember the fear You: I remember us seeing Silence of the Lambs way too young and assuming any boy who wanted to wear a dress was like Buffalo Bill Them: fuck i forgot that You: yeah well I’ve spent a lot of time reflecting on gender You: no surprise

40.

You: so yeah, I took a leap of faith and you didn’t You: but I get why Them: are you happy? You: [blacked out], babe, being happy isn’t a permanent state You: “being happy” isn’t like “being 46 years old” or “being allergic to peanuts” You: life is a fucking hard thing and sometimes it’s happy and sometimes it’s miserable

41.

You: if your goal is “be happy” you’re going to fail because that’s like saying your goal is that there’s never a rainy day ever again Them: you really have shit figured out better than I do You: I mean you pierced reality so don’t sell yourself short Them: well it was that or therapy, evidently You: ha

42.

You: I’m rubbing off on you You: Anway, to answer the spirit of your question, yeah, I am You: I mean I’m not happy all the time You: Life is hard, capitalism sucks, the world is dying Them: being a girl didn’t stop climate change, huh You: i mean not yet, I’ll keep trying You: but overall I have more than my share of happy times

43.

You: and the hard times, I’ve got good people around me and a good sense of who I am You: and that gets me through Them: that sounds nice Them: thanks Them: i’m really happy for you You: what about you? Them: i mean you tell me

44.

Them: does breaking physics to talk to yourself in another timeline sound like a “happy person” kinda thing to do You: no, I got that much You: I mean what are you going to do now You: you said I was the first one to do it, right You: how many of us have you talked to? Them: you’re the sixth

45.

You: yikes Them: the others were “closer” timelines. Kinda started small and worked my way out Them: guess you’re at the minimum girl distance or something Them: the others gave up on me pretty fast, tbh You: i’m sorry You: and don’t you say “not your fault”

46.

Them: ...alright. thanks You: so, you found one You: you found a girl-you, she talked to you, you see it’s possible You: now what are you going to do? Them: I didn’t think this far ahead Them: I guess I thought maybe once I had an answer I’d be satisfied Them: and don’t get me wrong, i’ve liked talking to you

47.

Them: but You: the void’s still there Them: yeah Them: so now I don’t know You: I say this with a lot of love: You: if you were here in person I would smack the back of your head Them: wtf

48.

Them: ok thanks?? You: you found a you that did it You: she confirmed that doing it was good for her You: she confirmed that the feelings that have dragged you down your whole life are dysphoria You: talking to her gave you the answers that you wanted but somehow you don’t feel any happier You: come on

49.

You: you’re a physicist, [blacked out], I know you can do the addition here Them: it’s too late You: you’re in your 40s, by average life expectancy you’re barely past halfway in You: try again Them: when did you do it? You: no

50.

Them: what?? You: no. stop hiding in my life You: you reached out because you wanted answers for yourself, stop asking for MY answers You: what is your answer? Them: fuck Them: FUCK You: yeah that sounds about right

51.

Them: fuck. I’ve wasted so much time You: well most of us do You: frankly everyone does in one way or another You: everyone gets held back by fear sometimes You: the question is what we do when we realize it’s happening You: ...and don’t you try to bury this revelation by focusing on inventing time-travel i swear to god

52.

Them: … You: I know the feelings hurt You: I know they’re scary You: i know it feels like when we were a kid and laid in bed at night feeling terrified for no reason You: imagining an elaborate security system in case a monster was under our bed You: you know what? You: we should have just looked under the fucking bed

53.

Them: it’s going to be hard You: good thing you’re strong Them: you don’t know that You: I know that when you stop running from this shit, you’ll find out you’re a lot stronger than you think Them: fuck Them: fine Them: ok

54.

Them: I’ll… I’ll make some calls Them: talk to my doctor or something You: and a therapist? Them: yeah and a therapist Them: didn’t realize when I finally talked to myself I’d be so ruthless You: yeah well, you’re in a rut and someone needed to help you break out of it

55.

Them: thanks Them: I mean it You: hey, thank YOU You: not every day a girl gets to be an awakening for an alternate universe self You: that’ll look good on the resume Them: shit You: what?

56.

Them: it’s… the, uh, window is closing You: oh Them: yeah You: i don’t suppose you can find this channel again Them: i don’t know Them: i mean, you probably don’t want to give me text therapy all the time anyway

57.

You: true, but also You: you know I’m going to worry about you Them: please don’t Them: you’ve given me so much already You: then promise me you’ll follow through You: don’t let this be another near-revelation you bury You: stop hiding from it

58.

Them: ok Them: I promise You: and listen You: go do YOUR life You: stop trying to hide in other Yous Them: ok Them: I promise Them: really

59.

You: ok You: thanks You: and listen You: if you do ever figure out how to reach me again You: drop me a line You: let me know you’re doing ok Them: yeah Them: ok

60.

Them: thank you, Gaby You: hey Them: yeah? You: I love you, Gaby. You can do this. Them: fuck Them: thanks Them: I love you too

61.

Them: I think it’s time You: alright You: seriously, take care of yourself Them: I will Them: thank you, Gaby Them: for everything Them: goodbye You: bye, Gaby [this message could not be sent]

3, 7, and 13 lmao honestly i’m curious to know your answers because i sure do know mine!

o hello there

3. screenshot or description of the worst take you've seen on tumblr

lmao I don't think I saved any screenshots [much like I don't hatewatch things], but something that comes to mind is the people who adamantly insist BBC Sh*rl*ck was the pinnacle over Elementary [you can enjoy both] and those who handwave Martin Freeman's shitty racist comments about Lucy Liu for the sake of their beloved show. Yes I'm still angry about it.

7. what character did you begin to hate not because of canon but because how how the fandom acts about them?

IIIII am drawing a huge blank here I am SO sorry. Genuinely if fandom gets loud about something my knee-jerk reaction is [windows shutdown noise] to tune them out LMFAO

we'll say Jughead I guess. I fell off R*verdale but I did like that little freak. People did get super fucking weird about him for a while though before I peaced out of being interested in that mess of a show.

13. worst blorboficiation

there are so many who receive terrible blorbo treatment, but for just $0.02 a day, you too can kick the actual writers of S*P*N* for woobifying C*stiel.

and now I've hit 2/3 triangulations of the OG Three so that's flying a bit too close to the sun. tally-ho and off I go~ LMFAO thank you for your ask.

hello i am sending a ask about the post you made that showed a screenshot that said something like “jesus never introduced himself using pronouns” and another person responded with “yes he did”. you said that we shouldn’t respond to those kinds of statements and i wanted to ask for more of an explanation of that? i always thought it was good to try to explain to people if their reasonings are incorrect (of course in a nice way). but i understand if you were saying they just do it for attention or something. sorry this is really long. i would have asked in the comments but they’re not working on that post. again i am just curious and would love to know more of your thoughts

If you genuinely think someone is just uneducated, sure, give it a go. Try to educate them.

That exchange was between an incredibly bigoted right-wing blue check account on Twitter and a "liberal" account who makes more of his activity/likes/retweets off of this same sort of bon-mot "dunks" on bigots. They're both kinda part of the same shitty ecosystem, but for now let's talk about the bigot.

That person is in Congress, elected by a gerrymandered minority, and keeps herself in the news by saying bigoted things loudly. You can't change her mind. She's made a career out of saying this shit. She doesn't actually believe no one used pronouns 20 years ago, or that Jesus didn't use pronouns in an introduction ever. And she's counting on someone dunking on her for being wrong. As soon as someone dunks on her for being "wrong," she gets a free platform from lots of people who oppose her, bc y'all will share the dunk. You'd never share her words otherwise, but now you're doing it bc someone corrected her, and you've spread her message for her, boosted the thread, made her more important to Twitter's algorithm. She gains more followers who agree with her. She wins.

If you must respond to some dumb shit they say, screencap it and blot out the name. And most importantly, don't respond to the argument they're supposedly making. She doesn't care if Jesus ever introduced himself with pronouns or not. The only thing to really respond to there is "this person is openly saying she hates trans people." That's it. Don't let her pretend she's "really" saying anything else.

[dragoncityinteriordesign]

When I started this blog back in May, it was with crappy Viki/YouTube screenshots, no idea what I was doing, and, like, three followers. But that was then and this is now, and as such, I think it's time to circle back to some of the very first things I did on this blog.

So let's take another look at Mirror Girl's Bathroom!

Of new note:

Green marble counter. It's just so green -- and green in a way that nothing else in the bathroom is. In fact, between that, the grey-blue wall tiles, the grey trash can, and the terracotta floor, this bathroom has a lot of ideas about what colors it should be, and none of those ideas line up with any of the others.

The llama ... air freshener? At least, I think that's what it is? This is the ceramic purple thing on top of the shelf with all the piles of fabric that probably aren't beach towels. It looks friendly.

All that floor space. Okay, I mentioned this before, but I'm still on it: This bathroom is nicely big, but not usably big. There's a whole lot of unused space in there, such that I find myself pondering what the bathroom equivalent of a kitchen island is. It's still giving me converted warehouse vibes (even if the real vibe is "room enough for a camera crew").

Pink metal lantern. This one's over on the shelf by the tub, inside the shower cubicle. It's got little filigreed cutouts in the metal that a candle could shine through. Add another random background lantern to the list!

Right-side-up trashcan. It simply has a foot pedal that opens the lid. I'm sorry I misunderstood you before, trashcan.

Hello Kitty basket. Hello, kitty!

Set continuity. The bathroom, the main room, and the bedroom are all clearly the same set While we never see through the door between the main room and the bedroom, we do get shots looking into the bathroom from both those locations. And in case folk are having trouble making sense of the layout, I made a shitty MS Paint map of the apartment!

It's a cute little set, even if it does leave little things like food storage and prep a complete mystery.
