I'm super late to this, but thanks for the tags! @infinite-orangepeel, @starrystevie, @hexiewrites, @thekingandthejester, @stevethehairington, @letterfromvienna, & @kostaskostaskostas!!

rules: post the first lines of your ten most recently published fics on ao3!

counting sheep, and other bullshit

By all logic, Eddie really shouldn’t be awake right now.

slay monsters, if needed

Steve wakes up when the sheets - his sheets, they’re at his house - are rudely ripped off him.

second time's the charm

For once in his life, Steve has a plan.

like a sack of bricks

Eddie is one lucky son of a bitch.

sting (cheating and doing the first line of the second chapter because i'm a coward)

It's been three days. The bruises on Steve's thighs have started to turn the yellow green that means healing, he can finally sit comfortably without manspreading like a jerk, and most of the pain has faded into a low, thrumming ache. If Steve weren't a masochist, there wouldn't be a problem.

save a horse, ride an ex-jock

“This is the dumbest thing I’ve ever done,” Steve says.

snow, angel?

It’s cold as hell. That’s not the most astute observation to be made on Christmas in Indiana, with a single-digit wind chill and six inches of snow, but it’s the only one Eddie has in his head right now.

Born to Run

Eddie’s first memory is ice cream. Vanilla, specifically.

shoot

The first time Jonathan shoots a gun, it knocks him over.

no more lovesick idiots

Murray is used to being the smartest person in the room. It’s a role he’s filled for most of his life because everyone he spends time with is an idiot. It’s a fact of life, just like how the sky is blue and Joyce and Jim should have gotten together years ago.

i'm sure just about everyone has been tagged at this point, but here goes! @eddieunbanished @withacapitalp @stevecarrington @rejectofsociety and whoever else wants to!

Hello everyone! Once again I’m coming on here to post more surveys for my research paper, but this time for particular fandoms! Just as a reminder, I am currently doing research on fandom vocabulary and identity for one of my college classes this semester with the goal of getting my paper published. If you have the time, I would appreciate it if you could complete it if it applies to you!

I’m posting a lot of surveys, so if you see this one, it is particularly for: THE K-POP FANDOM

This survey will remain anonymous and no personal data will be collected. It is being conducted for its potential benefits to individuals or humans in general. An expected benefit of this study is an understanding of fandom culture and its vocabulary. You are not likely to experience physical, psychological, social, or legal risks beyond those ordinarily encountered in daily life or during the performance of routine examinations or tests by participating in this study. Your participation is voluntary. You can stop at any time and can decline to answer questions if you do not feel comfortable answering them.

This survey consists of a demographic section and questions related to the K-Pop fandom and its vocabulary. It will take about 30-45 minutes to complete.

Even if you are not able to take the survey, spreading it by reblogging it or sharing it online with friends will be just as helpful! If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to ask.

Thanks again everyone!

how i feel when someone reblogs my stuff with a really really nice tag

Is this anything

[stil-lindigo]

lead balloon (the tumblr post that saved me)

if this comic resonated with you, it would mean the world to me if you donated to this palestinian family's escape fund.

--

no creative notes because this isn't that kind of comic.

I know I don’t owe any of you anything but I still felt compelled to write about my long term absence. And I feel far enough away from the dangerous spot I was in to be able to make this comic. I have a therapist now, and she agreed that making this could be a very cathartic gesture, and the start of properly leaving these thoughts behind me. I am still, at seemingly random times, blindsided by fleeting desires to kill myself. They’re always passing urges, but it’s disarming, and uncomfortable. I worry sometimes that my brain’s spent so long thinking only about suicide that it’s forgotten how to think about anything else. Like, now that I've opened that door for myself, I'll never be able to fully shut it again. But I’m trying my best to encourage my mind in other directions. We'll see how that goes.

I am still donating all proceeds from my store to Palestinian causes. So far, I've donated over $15K, not including donations coming from my own pocket or the fundraising streams which jointly raised around $10K. In the time since I made my initial post about where this money would be going, the focus has shifted from aid organisations to directly donating to escape funds.

If you'd like to do the same, you can look at Operation Olive Branch, which hosts hundreds of Palestinian escape funds or donate to Safebow, which has helped facilitate the safe crossing and securing of important medical procedures for over 150 at-risk palestinians since the beginning of the genocide.

The Exotic Animal Photo Reference Repository is live!

You can find it at: https://www.animal-photo-references.com!

Here's how this repository works: all photos were taken by me, a human, at zoos, aquariums, sanctuaries, and other facilities with animals in human care. There is no AI involved in the photo editing or creation and there never will be. Right now there's 56 species on the site; my catalog has over 300 and I will be uploading the rest of them as fast as I can.

Artists creating derivative or transformative works (without AI) have blanket permission to use these references. Yes, even for work you're going to sell.

All other usage/reproduction requires permission, but assume I'm friendly and please do ask! That's educators, researchers, the media, people who need images for a school presentation, etc. This is just to retain copyright/control in case they're scraped/reused unethically - it doesn't meant I don't want folk to have access! So please do reach out via the contact form on the repository website, I don't bite and I'm most likely going to say yes.

Please don't repost the repository photos to your own blogs: I've created @animalphotorefs as a dedicated blog to share photos from the site, and of course I'll reblog a lot of it here! That again just helps with retaining copyright and sourcing of the images. If you really want to repost some for a specific purpose, please just ask me first!

Also, folks, this project has no funding. It's just me and my camera.

There will never be a paywall on the site - I believe resources like this absolutely must be free for everyone to access. So please, please, please support the repository if you use it. Want sneak peeks at photos, cute videos I take, or to help choose what I photograph and what gets posted first? You can do that through Patreon (and there's a free trial on the most interactive tier!) If you'd like to just drop a tip, I've also set up a Ko-Fi.

I can't wait to hear what everyone thinks of the repository.

To whet your thirst for cute photos, here's an Indian rhinoceros contemplating a goose.
