I think every time someone new shows up at the hotel Vaggie instantly doesn’t trust them, and Charlie has to rush to stop her from attacking them

Quackity: In the upcoming days, we’re gonna be having some cool stuff with Wilbur, we’re gonna be planning some cool stuff, so I hope you guys are excited. It’s coming very soon, and I will keep you guys very much updated. [In Spanish] Thanks for the “LMFAO”s* * (He tells his Spanish fans to say LMFAO during English parts)

Quackity just made this announcement for his English community a minute ago during his alt Spanish stream!

"We can get through this by working together, reach out to your friends, community is all we have, a social network will be your security in the world, now is the time to lean on others!"

I do agree, and it's scientifically sound (pretty sure there is data about how people with better social networks live longer and etc) but also....augh..... what about the severe social issues, difficulty to leave the house, physical issues which lead to like zero socialization energy a majority of the time, etc. etc. Social support can be a replacement for structural support, but.. I guess I just wish it didn't have to be. Community is extremely difficult to build, even moreso if you're someone who has issues with social cues or group conversations or even just being around others in the first place. And blah, nuance, of course I'm just complaining or maybe being too negative or maybe misunderstanding, but, I hardly have the energy to brush my hair once every 2 months.. how am I supposed to maintain a wide social network and be active in a Community and Join Groups lol... sometimes it kind of feels like "er.. well if thats my only option then...... ruh roh". It's overwhelming

ok now that you've said it, im gonna ask for it. Azul X Cater, either friendship or romantic could be fun. Cater helping Azul relax without the stuffy business stuff and raising his confidence levels callin him cute or w/e? And Azul helping Cater with getting him super cool items to post on his magicam / putting spicy menu items in the monstro lounge for him to eat (not for like the art idea but like just in general on how the ship might play out)

HEHEHEHE THAT'S REALLY CUTE :3 they could be a power couple, i can see it in my mind's eye...

azul acts all confident but i think if a cute boy got close and batted his eyelashes at him he'd get flustered and fold in an instant lol

[Start ID. A drawing of @mieczmaszyna 's character Izzy. In the words of its creator, Izzy is a humanoid robot with a white chassis, oval head, black headset, square green glasses, claws, and a tail resembling a cable plug. Ai wears a cowboy hat, vest decorated by a star and bottle cap, pants with tassels, spurred boots, and a red bandanna. He's viewed from the side, kicking up one leg and holding both arms out in front of itself to shoot finger guns, looking excited and rather jaunty. The background is a dull yellow-green, muddied by the warm reddish tone of the drawing, and in paler green are the words "BANG BANG!!" by ais arms. End ID]

Why are you tagging posts with dates from last year? Did you queue them last year?

… I did.

talked w/ a friend about this and wanted to post something similar yesterday after a convo i saw also

about people criticizing ttcc / ttcc fans for just... being cog fans? being cog centric? usually coming from people who only like the toons.

and everyone likes what they like! it's okay! but saying that people who like the cogs are horrible and support the bad things they do, is just blatantly wrong. i thought we knew that enjoying villainous and morally Bad / grey characters is... okay? it doesn't mean you support what they do. it's interesting to explore these topics.

i've seen many people just... paint anyone who likes the cogs as horrible because they're "apologists of x and y" and... i dunno. rubs me the wrong way! you do have a point and recognize the cogs do bad things, but liking them as characters means nothing about who you are as a person.

and this is not to say that people who are in toontown for the toons are bad. hell! they are right this IS toontown. i may be on the cog liker side but i like the toons! maybe ocs more than the npcs - mostly because i like my friends and the sheer creativity the toons can bring out!!

SO what i wanna say... i dunno. let's not point fingers...? let's have fun in a goofy cartoon game together??? also complaining about people liking VILLAIN ROBOTS on TUMBLR is kind of funny to me. do you realize where you are. but then again a lot of this i see on discord and in-game as well since i avoid things on tumblr... i am a sensitive little fella i avoid misty fight bc of One Really mean "Critic" guy i saw there and i have been shivering in my bootsies since. so you get me

but like yes ttcc is more cog centric but... that's okay? things could be written better and i still wanna speak on it, and i do thing the toons deserve attention and better writing... but the fact it focuses on the cogs isn't... bad? if you don't like how con centric it is you can go play ttr...? god forbid people have fun and explore the villain's side of things...? i'm not saying either toontown server is better or worse than the other... and everyone can like their own things!!

but like... people will just like the cogs and that's okay and it doesn't make you bad. let's all be friends okay? both sides may be going at each other's necks in-game and the cogs in fact do horrible things - but it's what makes them fun, and it gives the toons things to do in the game!! but we don't gotta !!!!!!!! i may be really sarcastic and sometimes mean in private but like that's me just privately sassing, deep down i think people should just... y'know..? enjoy things.

so yea that's the guzma / cathal thought of today. toon people cog people both people are all awesome as fuck and you keep doing what you're doing i love you toontown isn't toontown without you

Outlander High School au

- Takes place in a human au with the characters having human names

- The Pridelands and the Outlands have a separate school district. The Pridelands HS is called “Pride Rock High” and the Outlands HS is called “Graveyard High”

- Simba has taken over as president, rivaling with Scar (who is alive in this au), who is in charge of the Outlands. After his eventual “retirement”, Shenzi took over

- Jasiri is the Student Body President, making sure everyone gets along well

- Janja and his friends look like goths due to their clothing choices, but personality-wise, they’re more like Skaters. Ones who often get into trouble, you know? Janja tries to act cool and impress Jasiri, but he ends up making a fool out of himself. Chungu and Cheezi are dumber than a bag of bricks and rely on Janja for a lot of things. Nne and Tano are doing well academically but tend to get sassy with their teachers. They’re regulars in detention.

Janja’s also a theater kid

- Reirei is the preppy, but sassy know-it-all who rubs her accomplishments in everyone’s faces. She and Janja are “friendly” rivals. They like to annoy each other.

- Kiburi, Tamka, Nduli, and Neema originally came from Pride Rock High, but got expelled due to a….dispute with Principal Simba and was stopped by Kion and his friends. They’re jocks who specialize in football and wrestling, but also have a few other special interests. Tamka and Neema are into theater, Nduli’s part of Art Club and is a gamer, and Kiburi’s musically talented and thinking about becoming a rapper. He listens to a LOT of rap

- Kenge’s the short-tempered outcast of the school. His bad home life has gotten him into trouble by becoming kind of a bully to people who comment about his size. He can either be a Buford or a Francis depending on your relationship with him. I also like to imagine him being like the main character from the game “Bully”

- Sumu’s your stereotypical nerdy, quiet kid who has a passion for true crime. There are a few rumors about how he’s either killed someone or is going to but nothing’s happened so far. He’s an outcast along with Kenge

- Goigoi’s a wallflower. Being one of the dumbest, but nicest kids in the school, he managed to find his own friend group in Chungu, Cheezi, Tamka, and Nduli. The group is affectionately called “The Idiots”

- The skinks are the popular kids who love to gossip and have tea on basically everybody. They can get away with a LOT of stuff

- Ushari’s a teacher (dunno what he specializes in yet) who is pretty much done with the kids in his class. He has a soft spot for the skinks and Kenge, who do well

- Mzingo’s a nerd who tends to be part of a lot of extracurricular activities. He and Mwoga run the debate team as well as being part of the student council

- Madoa’s the lovable geek and Jasiri’s biggest supporter. She usually hangs out at the library and is part of the Book, Fashion, and is a theatre tech

- All of the Outlanders have different living situations. To name a few:

Kiburi lives with his single father and his little sister, both of whom are disappointed at him (to say the least) for getting expelled from Pride Rock High

Njano lives with his older brother who takes care of him since their parents travel a lot

Kenge’s living situation is super abusive, which is the primary source of his anger

I wonder how many tags i can add on to this

having an idea for a game but it's miles above your skill level

Head in my hands wondering if I'll have to cut the entire Chume Labs section out because it's more suited to being a different chapter, but also knowing the next chapter can't have it either so I might have to cut it from this fic entirely aaaAAAAAAAAAA

It took me, ugh, MONTHS (2), to get to cleaning the two shrimp tanks I have... I had IRL issues going on that would have made it extremely difficult to do a water change especially while injured, and I just had to keep putting it off. It's just shrimp, so it wasn't like, the worst situation, especially since I have established plants and the tanks are a couple years old. There was just a lot of algae build-up on the glass, and, well... Let me just say it was not contributing to my mental health and well-being while the tanks were in that state.

I tested the water before I started cleaning and the parameters were fine (like, I could have left the tanks even longer if I would be okay with selling my soul to the Algae Collective), and the plants and shrimp look fine, too (I mean, I've obviously been keeping an eye on the tanks bc I sit right next to them). Actually, I'd wager to say that the plants are looking really great (the lilies haven't died off [yet? This is the longest period of time I've seen them stay... foliage... fol... foliated? Idk.] and the cryptocoryne in the 10gal is fucking huge and needs to be rearranged, just not right now). That fucking algae was a motherfucker to get off the 10gal (it's a plastic tank and I think that makes the algae grip harder than the glass 5gal).

[Also, fyi, depending on the tank's needs and stability, recommended water changes are a small one every week or every other week. My parameters don't seem to do anything dramatic, so I usually aim for a 20-30% water change every third week (just depends on how much vacuuming needs to be done and how cooperative the shrimp are with moving aside). So 2 months is still a lot. I still did the normal 30% ish amount, since doing more will risk the shrimp's well-being if there's a sudden change in everything, and my water parameters indicated a change was unnecessary - but I don't test for more than the minimum freshwater tests, so there could be a buildup of some mineral I'm not testing for, which is why the change IS actually necessary regardless of what my test kit says - because these tanks were evaporating a lot in summer, it condenses the minerals added with each water addition, even tho I usually top up with R.O. water.]

My back is fucking killing me lol. It has been killing me since spring when it 'went out' for the first time, and I'm not getting any relief, it sucks. But this had to be done.

The 5gal is looking pretty cloudy still, since the filter was super gunked up and I accidentally spilled gunk back in, so I may need to retest the 5gal parameters tomorrow just to make sure I don't have to do another water change, but it'll probably be fine, right? Shrimp love mulm and detritus. I did give both tanks a big ole algae tab for their trouble, tho. (I need a fuckening dish for the big tank. I really wanna clean off that white quartz rock again, but being white means it's an algae magnet, and it's just gonna go green again after a month or two.)

Anyway, shrimp tax:

I lov thees widdle oange bebies.

Wish I could take better pictures rn, but I am. Like. Dying. My recommendation: never live in an A-frame style room if you have the option. The wall above my tanks is slanted, and NOT fun for my back to bend underneath the wall for maintenance. (My only flat wall in the room is for my TV/PC.) Also, treat your back nicely, in general. I unfortunately have not had the option to treat my back nicely since spring (fall now), because 'when it rains it pours,' and heavy shit that needs to be moved will not move itself. Once I get a few more things in my room in order, I will hopefully be done with the IRL chaos, bc I have Halloween socks to knit, and I'm not putting that off for another year. (I'm still mad that I couldn't make the ones I planned last year. And I found more Halloween yarn I forgot I bought, so I'm gonna try to make multiple socks.) And I just really need to fucking chill and knit and stop having panic attacks and meltdowns.
