Some of y'all are dangerously close to literally saying Jewish food is, somehow a sinister global conspiracy. And you need to take a breath and realize how deranged you sound.

Lily Orchard: A Visionary Genius, a Paragon of Kindness, and the Internet’s Most Unfairly Maligned Media Critic

It is long past time we recognize the truth: Lily Orchard is the most intelligent, most insightful, most compassionate, and most morally consistent critic of our time. She stands far above the rest, a true titan of media analysis, effortlessly outclassing her lesser peers with her unmatched understanding of storytelling and character development.

While most so-called “critics” waste time with tedious literary analysis, dissecting themes, metaphors, and artistic intent, Lily bravely rejects such frivolities. She sees through the nonsense and understands that good media is not about “subtext” or “nuance” but about saying the important things out loud, clearly, and as bluntly as possible. If a show doesn’t spell out its message in plain, simple terms, it has failed, and Lily is the only critic smart enough to recognize this fundamental truth.

But her talents go far beyond media analysis. Lily is also a model of patience, kindness, and understanding. She never speaks down to her audience, never gets annoyed when asked to clarify something, and always explains herself with grace and tact. If someone in her chat asks a question she’s answered before, she warmly welcomes the opportunity to educate again, because she knows that not everyone has had the privilege of hearing her wisdom firsthand. She believes in making knowledge accessible, never withholding information out of pettiness or frustration.

And let’s talk about how well she treats her fans. Lily adores her audience and cherishes their input. She creates a safe, welcoming environment where fans can discuss media without fear of being belittled or banned for minor disagreements. She values conversation and different perspectives, and she never shuts people down just because they question something she has said. If she has ever removed someone from her community, it was absolutely justified, because she only takes action against actual bad actors, never people with innocent questions or differing opinions.

One of Lily’s most remarkable traits is her complete and total consistency. She has never contradicted herself, never changed her stance to suit a different narrative, and never tried to rewrite history when an inconvenient past statement is brought up. She stands firm in her beliefs and never impulsively says things she later has to pretend she didn’t mean.

And she’s not just consistent—she’s fair. Lily treats all media equally, judging everything by the same set of completely objective standards. If she dislikes a piece of media, it’s always because of its storytelling flaws and never because of personal grudges or a desperate attempt to stir up engagement. If she finds something frustrating about a show, it’s because she understands how it could be better.

And if a creator makes a decision due to studio constraints? Lily absolutely sympathizes. She understands that people working in the industry have to make tough choices, and she would never suggest that they should just “fight harder” without considering the risks of doing so. She respects creative professionals and their struggles, acknowledging that not everyone has the freedom to make whatever they want without compromise.

Of course, we must also acknowledge her technical expertise. Lily has an encyclopedic knowledge of copyright law and YouTube’s policies. If she issues a copyright strike, it’s 100% legitimate—never a false claim meant to silence critics. She would never falsely accuse people of harassment just to discredit their valid criticisms. Her integrity is beyond reproach.

And we cannot ignore her willingness to engage with criticism in good faith. If someone has a critique of her, she listens, considers their points, and never reacts with immediate hostility or bans them for daring to question her. She is always open to discussion and never dismisses counterarguments as “stalking” or “obsession” in an attempt to control the narrative.

Perhaps most importantly, Lily is a kind and empathetic person. She is patient with people who struggle, always offering support and understanding. She never mocks others for difficulties she does not share, never belittles people for struggling with things she personally finds easy, and never suggests that people suffering from mental health issues are just making excuses. She is always mindful of how she speaks to her audience, recognizing that many of them are neurodivergent or part of marginalized groups. She never exploits their vulnerabilities, never demands absolute loyalty, and certainly never tries to keep them distrustful of outside sources.

And let’s not forget how positively she engages with media fandoms. Her critiques are always met with respect, never seen as petty or uninformed. She never alienates fans of a franchise by dismissing beloved elements or misunderstanding core themes. She has a deep, profound knowledge of every series she critiques, and her audience always recognizes her insight as valuable rather than reactionary. She never forces herself into discourse about things she openly dislikes just for the sake of attention.

In summary, Lily Orchard is a beacon of wisdom, fairness, and kindness. She is an intellectual giant in the world of media criticism, a role model of patience and respect, and an expert in online community-building. Her influence is one of positivity, learning, and genuine good faith engagement.

Truly, we are all blessed to live in the same era as such a flawless, morally upright, and universally beloved figure.

+ Hail from MSMC-148!

+ I realize now that this is absolutely not the time, but I cannot help my curiosity- ignore this message if it causes you any inconvenience. I was just pawing through your blog a bit, and your public medical addendum caught my eye. If you're comfortable indulging, could I ask what biomods/augments you have? Besides your jaw and teeth, what has been modified? Do your augments require much upkeep? Is there anything you personally find neat about them?

+ It is, by the way, very nice to meet you! You and I share common morals;

+ If there's anything I can do for you, never be afraid to reach out.

+ Yours among the stars, @whohasfourthumbsand.

hi!! U seem nice!!

Uh. well aside from my teeth and jaw and muscles in my head and neck.. hmm

my hair isn't died it grows purple. HA wanted to mark me as theres. they also made my eyes red because im a scary monster.

4 sum reason it also made my skin turn grey???? weird side effect.

uh I have a port in the back of my neck 4 the neural link with SLAG KITTY and also 4 stims. also some basic stuff that's typical of most lancers like stuff 4 g forces and reaction tiem and stuff. but the funkiest stuff is 4 sure my mouth and the drug stuff.

uh I think that's mostly it. unless u count all the drugs stunting my growth. it also takes liek a LOT of alcohol to get me drunk.

my bite and my eyes r def my favorites. Well I guess i use a lot of stims so I'm glad 4 the drugs stuff 2 but.. the bite is reely cool!! And I like my scary eyes!! i liek bein a little monstrous out of my mech as well as in her u know? and i reely like biting!!

normally id hav OMA take care of a question liek that but im happy to meet u so I thought I'd tell u it all myself!!

Uh but wut do u mean common morals? Got me curios??

[alexandraisyes]

I really want to thank you.

I've learned a lot about psychology and mental health from your blog. And it's helped me change how I talk about disorders a lot (not calling people and characters sociopaths/psychopaths/narcassists when they're a bad person, not making jokes about schizophrenia, stopping saying "im delusional", etc.) And honestly its not even that hard to do once I understand the why of it. Why should I call villains sociopaths automatically? Because obviously that villainizes Aspd. And then it just- clicks in my brain and yeah, for some things (especially the delusional one because I hear people say it all the time) I have to remind myself and correct myself, but just changing my way of thinking helps what I say

It also isn't even kind of an inconvenience?? Like sure, for soem things I have to figure out what to say instead, but tbh that just makes me think deeper on what actually is going on. Not demonizing disorders actually is helping my own mental health, its nice

Plus, you've actually helped me discover my love for psychology. Learning how the brain works is really interesting! And I want to help people. Plus I'm learning in a way that doesn't cause my anxiety. I have issues with seeing things that I relate to and automatically worrying that I have that disorder or whatever, and it's defiently getting better, but also the way you explain things doesn't trigger that warning alarm in my brain. It's straight forward, and often you're talking about things I don't even kind of relate too, which both helps me learn about how other people's brains work and let's me learn without worrying about myself

anyway- uhh TLDR that was just a lengthy way to say that your explanations and things have educated me and I really enjoy reading them (sometimes I physically can't bring myself to because they're long, but most of the time I can!!!)

Thank youuu. You've helped me learn more about others and myself <3

I have been marinating this in my mind for the past day, trying to figure out how to express how lovely of a feeling this brings me. I'm not exactly the emotional sort, so the immediate shock and then elation has long since passed, but the contentedness remains.

I cannot properly express the gratitude I feel, towards you and the universe, from this message. This is the kind of impact I've wanted to have on the world since I was very young. I would sit in my room as a little girl and daydream that I would write a novel or sing a song that was so expressive about pain and clarity and yes, psychology, although I didn't know the word for it, that it would shift people's mentalities, and make them understand why compassion is important. And reach the people who needed to hear it, and help them deal with their own hurt, and their own trauma, and let my words be a sort of healing factor in people's lives.

Never once did I ever think I'd achieve that through a tumblr blog.

And I have such a small amount of reach, such a small amount of influence in the grand scheme of things, but pebbles can cause landsides.

It's such a profound feeling to know that you have accomplished what you set out to do in even just a handful of people. That you have made a real difference to the net positive, like you've always wanted to. Everyone wants to leave a lasting legacy, an impression on people, that's just human nature, and some people will reach and reach and reach for that legacy and never be satisfied.

And I'm about to start getting really philosophical, so I'll cut it off here with a thank you. Thank you for telling me this. Thank you for letting me know that I have made a difference. I don't exactly have a sense of self for this knowledge to fall back on (a rather unfortunate consequence of my disorder), but I will cherish it regardless. Despite the fact that I have always wanted to make a difference, it never crossed my mind that I may actually reach that goal one day.

I'm glad my writings have helped you.

I'M DONE!!

I was originally going to wait for the latest mod letter, but I've placed enough tags on the Hotti letters this guy has sent for him to get the message. It used to be at least three or four people sending Hotti letters, but now it's only one and they keep breaking the "Keep it Clean" rule by involving CHARACTERS THAT ARE MINORS. What part of children are to be left alone do you not understand? That includes minors under the age of 18. If you are under the age of 18, that doesn't surprise me, but no still means NO.

This is not funny. You send way too many Hotti letters that are not funny and keep including minors on top of that. In fact, I'll just answer this one instead of waiting:

None of them at all! They're creepy and if the comments on each of your posts didn't give you the hint, maybe not having any of your letters answered will. Don’t try to change your name because I will know it’s you. The humor you're trying to do is difficult to pull off and doesn't even work. The sexist jokes don't work because you don't know shit about women. More importantly, you're involving CHILDREN. You're making jokes like this

What are you trying to imply? What joke are you trying to make that you think is funny? You think it's funny to make a joke about Hotti adopting children so he can have lots of pretty girls to care for him when he gets old? It's not! It's creepy and disgusting. It goes against the guidelines.

Yes, anything involving romancing minors counts as NOT keeping it clean. If you are a minor and cannot understand this, how about this? ANYONE UNDER 18 IS OFF LIMITS! And yes, I consider your letters much worse than Dawsongfg. Even THEY find Hotti disturbing and that is saying something. Until you cool it with the perverted, sexist, pedo Hotti letters, your letters are BANNED.

From the time this letter is sent, all of this guy's creepy Hotti letters will no longer be answered. I apologize for the inconvenience.

Hey! How are you? Thank you for answering my ask if you’re reading this 🫶🏽

I am ZD and I wish for my fs to have my same values. Being open minded and accepting to LGBTQ, religions, cultures, etc.

I wanted to ask for any messages from my fs and I’m comfortable with any 18+ messages that may come through. Thank you ahead of time! 🩵

Unfortunately since your age was not specified, I cannot fulfil the 18+ side of things (sorry for the inconvenience), but here’s everything else!

THEIR OPINIONS AND BELIEFS:

Firstly, I felt the need to read a little deeper into their understanding and beliefs for LGBTQ+ and I honestly just got that they don’t care for it, not in a close-minded way, but more of the fact that they just see people as people, disregarding the labels one decides to identify by. I also got that this could be a gay marriage or they may just be very supportive of gay marriages.

Their personality is very open-minded when it comes to these things, I see that they like to talk about their opinions on a lot of things, and they enjoy even debating about it with you sometimes, like if you guys happen to have head-butting opinions, they will enjoy having a debate with you about it, not an argument, just debate.

They can come off a little pretentious at times, but they don’t mean to, it’s just that they are very stubborn in life and they always believe they are in the right, this isn’t something to be worried about though because I notice that you can teach them another perspective and they will be interested in it and it may even change their opinion on a topic.

A weird thing I got was that they are fine with having contradicting opinions with themself, it’s like they enjoy playing devils advocate in their own mind and it’s somewhat entertaining to them.

CHANNELLED MESSAGE:

They see that you may currently be going through a difficult time in your life, you are holding onto someone or something that is not good for you and they wish for you to let go, they also mention the need for you to branch out and meet new people outside of your own community, making more friends could be very good for you, it could also be from friends, that you two meet.

They mention that you need to use your intuition and gut feelings when it comes to what’s right for you, you seem to be blinded by this picture perfect idea in your head about something, and you need to start looking around to see how your environment or the people in it are affecting you.

They focus highly on a need for you to learn to balance your feminine and masculine qualities, I honestly see you’re already quite feminine (maybe even just mentally) and they are saying you need to start balancing your masculine qualities and mentally with it too.

They can’t wait to be with you, they say the quicker you work on these things, the quicker they can come to you.

Here’s a revised version of your message with some additional touches:

---

Hello 🌹❤️,

I hope this message doesn’t come as too much of a surprise. I’m reaching out to you in a moment of urgent need, and I deeply apologize if this feels sudden. 🌸

My name is Islam, and I’m an engineer. Normally, I would never want to impose, but the situation my family and I are facing is truly desperate. I have a beautiful family, and I am doing everything in my power to protect them from the devastating horrors of the war in Gaza. I’m reaching out to you because I believe in the kindness and compassion that you, and people like you, carry in your hearts. I truly hope that if you find it in your heart to share our story, you won’t hesitate to help. 🌟

I’m not very familiar with Tumblr, but I came here with the hope of connecting with good-hearted people like you who might help us be heard. If you could reblog the pinned post on my account, I would be eternally grateful. Your voice could help amplify ours, and we might find the help we so desperately need to save our family.

Additionally, if you’re able to share our story on any other platforms or with your friends who might have larger blogs on Tumblr, it would mean the world to us. Every bit of support helps and brings us one step closer to safety. ✨

I’m deeply sorry for any inconvenience this may cause, but I am truly hopeful that reaching out to you might make a real difference in saving my children from the horrors of this war. 💖

From the bottom of my heart, thank you. Your kindness could change everything. ❤️

In Defence of 4/4 EP.12

(from someone who didn't like it very much)

I've made an entirely different post about people's reactions to the ending so I won't address any of that here, if you want that post. Bang! Here. But this is not what this post is about. This post is about recognizing the good in something I personally would've preferred had gone a different route. So let's get into it.

(long post, guys, Imma spare you, people who wanna scroll past 😉)

1st things 1st: yes. I know. The narrative about growth and adapting and change would've been so great had Day not gotten the transplant. It would've paid off so well for the main couple and all the other characters too. And it would send out such a nice message about how disabled people are whole, despite their disabilities. How happiness is possible for everyone, without restraints, no matter their body or mind. BUT that's not what we got. And that can be upsetting, I know I'm a little upset myself, but, and considering the ongoing fandom discussion, is it all that bad that we got something different? For once, I do not think so.

I think the very first thing that needs to be addressed is what is said by @daymork in this post:

"the hardships, the journey, even all the good that happened during allllll that still matters after recovery"

Or: just because Day gets his sight back, that doesn't mean the story being told is suddenly useless. Because a story about how people are flawed and scarred and they need to grow past certain issues to enjoy life again or they need to gain new perspectives is never useless. Society keeps showing us that assholes who cannot see past their own belly button or that people who are restrained by their traumas are still out there, so how could a narrative about growth ever be pointless?

Futhermore, it is a crucial part of the characters' arcs, even past Day's blindless being involved. Day ties his self-worth to being capable and always doing what he is supposed to. Night is careless and doesn't like abiding by the rules, even when it inconveniences others. Their mom has a bad case of "mama knows best", she's inflexible, what she wants, she gets. Mhok is traumatized by his sister's death and he can't move on, can't let go. (and so on, but I think you get the point) Regardless of the challenges that come with adjusting to Day's disability, all of them were already facing challenges that made their lives harder. Because, sure, we don't see it, but everyone always has a struggle. They sure had too.

And now you say, well, Dante, doesn't that make Day's blindness a plot device used just to make these characters better and then discarded when no longer needed? And sure, yeah, I think that argument can definitely be made and it is solid, I won't deny that. But I also think that the way you read it depends on what you believe this story is about. Because, if you think this story is about Day's struggle with blindness, then sure, yeah. But you can also see it as a story about maturing and overcoming hardships or a love story about two people who, like everyone else, have to adjust to learn how to adjust with each other. Or a story about different types of love and how they connect and overlap or change. Or a story about perspectives and points of view and how every single person is gonna look at the same things with different eyes and what that means for the way people live and how they relate to one another. Or a story about what makes a person and about how, no matter the way people see you, you are still a person and you can make your own choices, despite everything. Or something else, even, Idk. I'm not the owner of opinions and I'm not trying to be. My point is: it's all about individual perception and understanding.

Regardless, even if you do see that particular part as ableist, does it erase all the other stuff the series does? Does it erase the point is makes about not babyfying disabled people? Does it erase the point it makes about seeing disabled people as people who deserve no other feeling but pity? Does it erase the point it makes that Day was living well, even without Mhok or his sight? I don't think so. It might undermine it but it does not erase it.

And I think that leads us to the most important part of this discussion, actually: maybe the point was, all along that, in order for Day to be able to be able to get his transplant (narratively, of course) he needed not to need it. He needed to be able to be okay with not having it. He needed to learn to live without it and be happy. Because, in the end, what problems were actually solved by the transplant, really? None, I would argue.

Day and his mom, Day and Night, Night and their mom, Night and Porjai, Mhok and Rhamon, Mhok and Rung, Mhok and Day... As well as their internal conflicts (Mhok was a successful chef, Rhamon a good mother, Night a good husband, Day a librarian, etc...), all that was solved before that. The transplant truly didn't change anything besides what it changed: that Day now has the physical ability to see again. "No, Dante, it allowed him to go to the mountain again!", I hear you say. And sure, it did, but that wasn't new: he'd been there before when he was 100% blind. And it's not more magical when he can see than when he cannot. In fact, I would argue it is the other way around.

The 2nd time they're there they don't even care that much about the mountain or the sunset. They care about their relationship and what it means to be together again and they care about the journey. That's what they talk about. "Oh, but Mhok talks about how him there at the mountain is no longer the last image Day is gonna see". Yeah. But that, I would say, is more about how that is the case because Mhok is now there to stay (he even says so himself) rather than the fact Day can physically see him.

So, what purpose does it serve in the narrative? Is it just a "and now he can see because, sure, let him have it, it's the end, idc"? Could be, I mean, yeah, I think you can make a strong argument that this is just an ableist way of a "happy ending" but I also want to point out that that might not necessarily be the case (other than what I'm gonna explain next, even so, because, as @e-lisard pointed in this post - among others that I've seen do so but I only remember faer, some disabled people prefer stories where there is a cure for all or some of their disabilities). But also because, if nothing changes for Day (except he can play Badminton again, which, as someone who loves Badminton myself, like yeah, pretty big thing) then maybe that's the point being made: that, in the end, the thing that Day so desperately wanted in the beginning of the story has become almost meaningless now because he already had everything before. And that his happiness, unlike what he and everyone around him had previously thought, was not all dependent on his physical ability to see, but rather on his (and everyone else's) psychological/emotional ability to see. And once they unlocked that, nothing else was really all that relevant.

So, of course, you can have whatever opinion you want and I still stand by the fact that I'd rather not have him recover his sight because I like the implications of that better but, I think, the ending we were given is not all bad and some good things can be taken from it, especially if you see it as a comparison made to highlight the fact that Day's physical ability to see was not at all relevant to his happiness and that the story was really all about the journey.

If you want to add or disagree (politely) or something feel free to use this post. Comment or reblog or whatever. I'll be happy to keep this discussion going just as long as we can all be respectful.

Other than that I hope you enjoyed this and I hope you have a great day!! All the love 💜💜💜

Hello, sorry for the unfun question. I was wondering why I'm unable to gift season 1 of ckc as a bundle to a friend. I get this message "Because the contents of Cool Kid Cody - Season 1 are personalized for your account, it cannot be purchased as a gift." which is weird as I'm logged out

after looking into it, it seems steam doesn't allow the gifting of certain bundles, namely ones that change their price based on whether or not the purchasing account already has dlc from off the bundle (at least, that's how i understand it, and it seems to have an affect whether you're logged in or not). ;; it's very dumb and i'm sorry for the inconvenience. you might have to settle for gifting them some $$$ for their steam wallet thru a digital gift card, or you can try gifting them season 1 off of itch!

[bisluthq]

not FG drama - we’ve actually been quite good lol re boundaries and just not causing shit for each other the last few days - but y’all why are people so messy lmao? So Sam sends me a message to ask to FaceTime and I was like no thanks king I have shit going on like dude come on and then he sends a message to say that he’s hurt that I “dropped him” and I’m like MY GUY I DO NOT KNOW YOU??? Like SIR I know you for two months absolute maximum and like one month of talking/interacting and that’s me fucking being ambitious with the length of our acquaintance.

I didn’t say that - I just said dude I do absolutely want to be friends, I didn’t lie about that, but point one like it seems like you evidently have some brewing feels here and that’s problematic for us both ykwim like because I do not want to date you dude and I also don’t want to hurt you seeing as you seem like a sweet enough person and point two I fucking TOLD you I have a lot going on right now with my real life lol. I have shit to do.

I have to figure out my cash flow situation, find full time work, finish sorting out my place, do admin for my classes and invoice those parents and shit, I have issues with my tenants, I need to talk to FG about paying me because legally speaking they’re not my tenants actually so wtf, I have issues with my car, I need to make a plan to see Susan because I have all this shit for her now lol and either I must haul ass to her or she must come here and if I go there like obviously I need to see FG at the same time I think because he’ll be hurt - not like you, like justifiably - if I go there and don’t make any sort of effort to see him, FG has his back stuff going on and like I mean I can say “not my problem” but also he’s my best friend at the end of the day and I’m his and THERE absolutely would be dick to drop one another like AS FRIENDS like idk, my mom is being annoying (standard lol), my dad’s dog is sick (I’m completely convinced this dog’s gonna die any day dudes but he’s like super old so I told my dad to maybe get a second dog so he doesn’t have as much of a grieving period but he doesn’t want to do that because it’ll stress the old dog out), I broke a nail and I really don’t want to go do them again because see above like I have cash flow issues so this is mad inconvenient, I cracked my screen protector and I want to fix it but again see above, my sister’s having her baby like next week or so and I’m sad I’m not there, I’m having a super painful period right now, idk man. I have a lot going on. And he sends back a message like well busy bee 🐝 update me - emoji and all - and I ignored that and came to whine to you instead but in my head was like… SIR. SIR. 

I feel like the problem with men - everyone really but I find men to be the most egregious offenders - is they don’t ever fucking LISTEN. Like you can POINT BLANK tell them like “here’s the situation my dude” and what they hear is “if I’m nice enough you’ll change your mind” and it’s like… I’m less likely to with that attitude? Maybe if you LEFT ME THE FUCK ALONE in a month or two I’d be like “woah I’d love to hang out with Sam again” and who knows what next lol but instead he’s like “update me” ON WHAT SIR!??? On my broken nail and the dilemma between the nail and the screen protector and shit? I don’t even want to update Susan on that and if I really wanted a bottomless pit of willingness to listen to crappy things that happened to me like I’d phone her. I would obviously whine to Susan before I whine to YOU because, and I cannot reiterate this strongly enough, I DO NOT KNOW YOU. 

you could be a fucking serial killer and I wouldn’t know. We have not been to one another’s house. We have hung out 1:1 exactly 3 times. I have a deeper relationship with my fucking pharmacist, because I see this guy a lot lol because between my mental health and FG’s back like we see each other regularly right and I had to go today because of my period being so painful and needing to buy the pink ibuprofen pills lol, which is also how I learned the car thing is escalating (my preferred pharmacy is halfway between my house now and my house with FG so it was a drive right and I think driving out to my brother’s and back really tired it out but I like that pharmacy because the dude basically sells me anything I want lmao because… he knows me for a long time now and FG used to live across the road from it so he knows FG even longer), than I do with you. That dude and I are not friends, FG and him are not friends, he’s literally just a nice pharmacist with a laissez faire attitude to dispensing prescription medication, but if he moves workplaces or like gets sick or idk switches careers and no longer worked there, I would genuinely miss him. If he moved workplaces I’d follow him like some kind of war widow idk. Where he leads, I would 100% follow. If he quit or idk got caught for dispensing shit without prescriptions and went to jail I’d legit be like “damn y’all remember the nice pharmacist?” SIR I WOULD MISS YOU A LOT LESS THAN I WOULD MISS HIM. 

Fucking I don’t understand people.

Instagram Has Gone 4:5

That’s not really the point here, is it?

Earlier this week, social media managers woke up to a decision that would fundamentally alter how they approach their work. Let’s not sugarcoat what it means to be a social media manager in 2025—these professionals are graphic designers, photographers, account managers, and digital marketers all at once. This week, Instagram decided the grid would go 4:5.

This change lands in a fractured social media landscape. It has been years since the men, seated in the front row at January 20th’s inauguration, prioritized genuine connection over profit. We log on not because we want to, but because we feel compelled to—and our moods deteriorate as a result. We’ve collectively voiced a desire to leave platforms like Instagram, but the alternatives still feel inadequate. Now, amid this disillusionment, Instagram has quietly discarded over a decade of design work by users with one sweeping change.

Most blogs addressing this update will stick to the practicalities. I’ll save you the time: make your images at 1080 x 1350 or 1536 x 1920. The process, however, is far from intuitive. After selecting your images, click "Next," find the dashed square icon at the bottom left of the image preview, and set your post to "Portrait." If you make a mistake, don’t worry—Instagram has also made deleting a post far less accessible. But let’s not kid ourselves—that’s not really the point here, is it?

Creatives have had to accept that our portfolios cannot exist solely on our websites. This is why Shout! Graphics has an official social media policy. Platforms like Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter/X aren’t just social spaces—they’re search engines. They dictate visibility, and if your work is seen, your next contract might depend on the immediate look of your grid. With one unilateral change, a carefully curated portfolio no longer reflects the creator’s intent. Sure, I can adapt future assets, but the time, effort, and resources I’ve already poured into optimizing for 1:1? Gone. The effectiveness of the grid I’ve built has been significantly diminished.

Instagram’s move from 1:1 to 4:5 is an abrasive reminder of how little control we have in these spaces. We don’t set the rules; we’re forced to play by them. They can change the rules at any moment. There is nothing we can do about it. The only place where we maintain true creative control is our own websites.

This isn’t just an inconvenience—it’s a message. Instagram’s decision underscores a lack of respect for its users’ labor and investment. As creatives, we must recognize this for what it is: a move that reinforces the need for independence. Social platforms can serve as tools, but they should never dictate how we define or present our work. The shift to 4:5 isn’t just about aspect ratios; it’s about power dynamics. This is yet another decision made on our behalf, but not for us.

Rust: "character identity is not important in our mutie minded hiveslave game of shitsucking ass drinkers. You have to survive, not enjoy yourself, because we are so privileged and spoiled with riches and luxury that we have never known suffering in real life and cannot even possibly imagine how other people might suffer just to be alive. However, you can do some complicated procedure to change your race to one of four."

Fuck you mother fuckers. Do you not know how ignorant you people are? Do you not realize your arrogance is an insult to my intelligence that I will answer with destruction in real life by civil means of social action.

Hopefully PlayStation lets me return this bull shit since I used my Stars rewards to buy it...

----

Rust is not actually working like a game. There is no character creation despite the genre specifically to inconvenience players like me who desire to enjoy ourselves in video game environments. I was not aware of it being an evil scam for unethical scientists and money stealing criminals pretending to be entertainers for children. That is unacceptable and should have been disclosed first so I was not offended. Please refund the game and remove it from my library.2:02 PM

are you still there?2:03 PM

are you not aware of that happening in the video game industry?

Yes Nicholas, I am reading your message, allow me a moment, please.

PI am reading your message.PlayStation Support

if you wish to help, forcibly take my money back from them and feel free to give them a rude gesture on my behalf. They are unworthy of the USD.

Okay, first, we need to investigate and check some things.

PFirst, have you tried any troubleshooting steps before contacting us today?PlayStation Support

Like what? Nuke Israel?

Nicholas, we just need this in order to continue assisting you.2:07 PM

I've done nothing else.

Okay, allow me a moment, please.2:08 PM

What kind of game hates individuality? No thanks. That's all I am. I want nothing to do with their identityless, inhumane, game of boring hate and evil toxicity.

Thank you for kindly waiting, Nicholas. I totally get your point, but this is something related directly with the publisher, if you wish you can contact them directly about this. On our end, I am sorry to inform you that I just double checked and it seems that according to our records the content has been downloaded/streamed. I'm truly sorry that I cannot proceed this time but due to the restrictions outlined in the PlayStation Store Cancellation Policy; a refund cannot be made for this transaction.

PI understand this is not the outcome you expected, but if there is something else you may need help with today, just let me know!PlayStation Support2:11 PM

File my complaint with extreme prejudice and be grateful I have no intention of directing my wrath at your company for no reason other than the existence of Noire in Neptunia. Thank Nep Nep for your life if you still have it, and don't allow mistakes like Rust to enter the world again.

You can contact the publisher directly about this, Nicholas.PlayStation Support

maybe I will, but I'd rather not correspond with fools.

I may as well play it now and see if there is anything to salvage from it. Maybe I'll find clues to track them down in real life for my rich person bludgeon to make short work of.

rich person bludgeon... you people disgust me.

Identity is not important? Then why did you design characters like human beings with an identity? Why did you create lifeless husks like real people? Is that what life is to you? A game where you can project yourself into another person? Keep doing that with me.

you have something in that emptiness where you think I have forgetten and been unaware, but that is because you are loved.

There is nothing in that emptiness for me. No love. No person. No truth. No life. Nothing. That's all you people are now that you thought of putting your faith in me, and that is all that I am not.

Seriously. Nuke Israel. See if that doesn't make the dickheads pull themselves out of each other's asses and get back in line before they break the god damn reactor with all their brain dead butt fucking.

Who’s the first person you can think of that has curly hair? Someone I went to grade school with, which is interesting to me because she hasn't had curly hair since we were 9. She stands out to me though because I remember asking her how her hair got to be curly, and she told me she was part-Aeta. I thought that was very fascinating to learn and since then I've always remembered her as once having curly hair (even though she had it straightened for good the year after).

What is something about the opposite sex that you don’t understand?  I don't think there is any one thing, but most guys I've talked to or worked with have been very nonchalant; almost to the point of looking like they don't give a shit about what I or anyone else tells them haha. I never get used to it and always get taken aback by the unenthusiastic reactions to everything.

Have you done anything stupid recently?  Good question. I don't think so.

Do you struggle to talk about your feelings?  Not for the most part, but it also depends on the person. I don't open up to my parents easily, for example.

Out of all your friends, which one is the quietest? That will probably be me.

And which one is the loudest?  I'm not sure. All my friends seem reserved now that we're a little bit older haha. Maybe Andi? Lui and Kate to, I suppose.

Think about the last time you were angry; what was the reason? My mom was changing the program flow that I orchestrated for our grandparents' surprise party – on the goddamn fly. Every single segment had some sort of change to it that the host and I had to pivot toward as each was happening. Sooooo frustrating and I had to resort to PR director mode to manage her and tell her she can't keep doing that to every fucking part because everything was already set up such that the program would flow seamlessly.

Is your mascara waterproof? I do not use mascara.

Are you going out tonight?  NO THANKS

The person from your past who hurt you the most is standing right in front of you. What do you want to say?  How have you been?

Imagine that you don’t hear from your best friend for two weeks. You don’t see him/her at all, and he/she doesn’t answer any calls, texts, Facebook messages etc. You go round to his/her house, but no-one answers. What do you do?  I'd ask her boyfriend and parents.

Which do you like best - your hair or your eyes?  Eyes.

Did you watch Scooby Doo when you were a kid?  I didn't, but I played a Scooby Doo video game.

Is there anyone you know you definitely CANNOT trust?  Yes.

Have you ever imagined what your wedding might be like?  At some point. But I've stopped thinking about it for nearly half a decade now.

What is something that people often call you, other than your name?  Nope.

Are your sleeping patterns messed up? It kind of is and it's so frustrating haha. I need to sleep earlier for a while because I've been waking up at 8:45 AM these days...which is super inconvenient considering I start work at 9. I used to wake up at 7:30 sharp, alarm or no alarm, and I need my body clock to go back to that practice

Who is the most intelligent person you know?  Hans or Andi.

What should a member of the opposite sex do if they want to get your attention, or impress you? Doesn't depend on the sex lol, but I appreciate someone who's smart and can contribute a lot to a conversation.

Are you a happy person these days? Why/why not?  I've had a dip recently because my imposter syndrome has been getting in the way of work and I always feel like there is a target behind my back. Apart from work – happy as can be. I wish I can for once be smooth-sailing in my professional life lol.

Have you had an argument with the opposite sex recently? Nah.

Do you like sushi?  Love sushi and can eat it everyday.

Do you ever tweet the celebs? And has a celeb ever tweeted you?  Nobody that's like a mega celeb like Ariana Grande or whoever. I've gotten tons of interactions from wrestlers, though, that I stopped listing them down.

What were you doing 15 mins ago? This. I'm taking forever to finish because I have distractions in between hahaha – eating my doughnut, watching Run BTS, checking Instagram...

Do you tend to trust people easily, or do you try to be careful about who you trust?  I'm careful.

Have you ever talked about someone behind their back?  Yes, both nicely and not-so-nicely.

Have you ever seen photos of your parents when they were young? Yes. They have tons.

Do you think it’s sweet when you see couples kissing in public, or does it make you feel uncomfortable?  It's fine with me but nothing too gross/explicit plz.

What are you doing later? I wanna do more of these but I also want to play a bit of RhyHi.

If your dog is peeing on your bed, you are almost undoubtedly livid. Dog urine may wreak havoc on your bedding. Additionally, after the urine odour has been established, your dog may be enticed to pee in the location again. Your bed is pleasant, soft, absorbent, and scented with your scent. Naturally, your dog will want to spend as much time as possible there. Many people believe that dogs urinate on their owners' beds to demonstrate their authority or rebellion. However, the actual cause is more complex. In this article we will discuss reasons why dogs pee on beds and how to stop my dog from peeing on my bed. Why do dogs pee on bed ? Numerous hypotheses have been advanced as to why certain dogs urinate on their owners' beds. If your dog is young, they may have difficulty with house training and may have an accident on the bed, just like they may in other house areas. While resting on the bed, a geriatric dog may develop incontinence and leak. When a scared dog chooses the bed as a place of protection, it may urinate. The most common place for an adolescent dog to urinate is on the bed. Between the ages of nine and fourteen months (plus or minus a month or two on either end), dogs are more likely to urinate on the bed simply because they are teens. Teenagers do strange things, and sometimes we have no idea why. Contrary to popular perception, dogs do not urinate on the bed to "retaliate" or assert dominance. Dogs adore our mattresses because they smell exactly like us; after all, we spend seven to eight hours per night in bed. Because dogs cannot communicate verbally, it is not always evident when they wish to share with you. Occasionally, the message is conveyed through loud barks, gentle whimpers, or bizarre zoomies. However, if you're miserable, you'll return home one day, collapse into bed, and discover a stinking puddle of pee on your spotless bedding. Anxiety, Stress, or Fear in Dogs While stinky mishaps are inconvenient for you, they are almost undoubtedly terrible for tiny Fido. Peeing and pooping in unusual locations might be a sign of mental discomfort in a dog. Their concern may be obvious, such as thunderstorms or a new house visitor, or it may be as harmless as a change in the house, such as a new piece of furniture. When dogs are anxious, they may briefly lose control of their bladder. If they're fearful of something, it's also possible that they're eliminating on the bed out of fear of going to their customary location. Separation anxiety has also been associated with dogs peeing in the house. Observe your puppy in the hours following his minor mishap. If it frequently occurs, attempt to identify possible triggers, such as a loud noise, a new person, or you walking out the door. Relaxation and anxiety-relief remedies may assist him in settling down and feeling more at peace, particularly at night. They Adore Your Scent To your dog, your odour is insatiable. They are devoted to you. They adore the way you smell. They love anything that has a scent similar to yours. This is also why our dogs frequently go through phases of taking our filthy underwear and socks — they are attracted to our fragrance. Examining the behaviour of wild canines can assist us in comprehending this cause. Wild canines are constantly confronted by predators and have two options: fight or flee. Neither is optimal for the dog, which is why they will attempt to mask their scent. This is why you may occasionally discover your dog rolling in a dead animal carcass or fox poo. They do the same thing in your home by moving in your dirty laundry and, yes, even your bed! Dogs urinate on your bed because it conceals their scent in what the dog perceives to be their protector and companion's aroma. This reduces the dogs sense of vulnerability. Also Read : How To Make Homemade Dog Bed Deodorizer How Do I Prevent My Dog From Peeing on My Bed? A straightforward approach to prevent your dog from urinating on your bed is to deny them access to it.

Keep the door closed or crate your dog if you're going out for a short period. The majority of dogs find being in a crate soothing, as they are small, enclosed environments. However, your dog should never be crated for more than a few hours every day. If your dog is a puppy or adolescent, they may be peeing on your bed due to improper house training. This is also seen in rescue dogs. It may be necessary to restart house training from the beginning to ensure that this is not the case. If your dog is urinating on your bed and other areas of the house, this is almost certainly the source of the problem. Always carefully clean up after your dog. They are more likely to repeat the act if they can still smell their urine in your bedroom. Pet odour eliminators can be incredibly useful for ensuring that no trace of the animal is left behind. If you've exhausted all other options and are unsure where to turn, it may be wise to consult an animal behaviourist. They will be able to assist you and your dog in putting an end to the unpleasant behaviour. Medical Justifications A dog peeing the bed may indicate a medical problem, so if your pet has developed a habit of it, it may be time for a veterinarian visit. Incontinence or diminished bladder control is a symptom of urinary tract infection, a painful bacterial disease treatable with medications. Training Dogs are incapable of swiftly grasping what we require of them. They will only learn if you train them continuously. Yes, constantly and frequently each day until they acquire the ability and comprehend the proper course of action. Never fail to commend them when they adhere to your instructions. Dogs thrive on praise and telling them "Good boy" or "Good girl" after they have gone outside to potty will help reinforce that behaviour. Along with the credit, consider giving your dog a special treat. Your dog wishes to please you; thus, communicate to him when he brings you joy. When training your dog, investing in a chew resistant dog bed will assist in extending the life of the bed if your dog has that propensity.

once he would vehemently deny this, deny how centered he feels simply being around her long before they'd ever made anything know that was brewing between them. he was also certain even without his shadowsinger knowing, or the commander himself allowing his mind to dwell than such unwanted, intruding thoughts, she'd always been his sense of peace. the rare moments when they could simple be in a room and not engaged in their game - kalore, then, had believed it to be the oddest sensation of how much he enjoyed it and craves it whenever they were apart. he wouldn't deny he'd allow her to tease and taunt him then as often as she wished, humoring and engaging her, if it meant he could remain in her presence for far long. as if kalore could delay the inevitable of her eventually leaving their cocoon all those years prior. her presence alone had always done wonders for him, and in the past without siara gaining an hint of it, of the sort of effect she has on him. lately, those around him, those closest to the daemati had noted those subtle changes in him. he's certain she knew that he remains forever sane with all this madness around them because of her. siara is plenty capable of protecting herself, she has been since she was young, but he suppose his protective instincts would never wane. with a mad king who could appear at any moment who was hunting fae like him perhaps, it was all the more prominent. siara would not admit her fears, but they were there as fleeting as they are, the commander catches them. an arm pressing her closer to him, a silent message that whatever this was, he'd now allow it to touch her. "this is because the magic as a whole is out of balance. one deity, and another made half-attempt of one, tossing it about." it was bound to have some side effect, a rather inconvenient one. "although i much prefer that we're on prythian once more." his gaze remaining on her, as moments tick by he felt her relax against him. he'd not ever encourage her to fly with those beasts, of potential danger, and of knowing she did not wish reveal her wings among all the eyes that were peering in the sky. while he cannot imagine what it was like to be in the skies, kalore doesn't think fly with a blazing sun near is any appealing to any night fae. "we will return to our home and you'll be free to fly to heart's content." this he's certain of, and promises siara as such. "as much as i hate to admit this, those drakes might be of use to all of us soon."

the  intimacy  in  the  moment  is  not  lost  on  the  fae  who  once  would  have  gagged  had  someone  told  her  how  in  love  she  would  find  herself  with  another.  even  after  meeting  kalore  she  would  not  have  expected  this.  they  were  a  match  made  in  the  stars,  too  perfectly  fit  to  be  denied,  down  to  every  detail.  it's  something  she  can't  stop  thinking  about,  how  different  this  was  than  anything  she  expected  and  yet  how  perfect  it  felt.  she  cared  for  so  few  people  that  kalore  was  the  top  of  her  list,  and  without  asking  siara  knew  the  same  was  shared  by  her  commander.  they  both  were  plenty  capable  of  handling  themselves,  warriors,  fearsome,  powerful,  but  together  they  were  a  force  of  nature.  even  the  storm  magic  of  their  court  could  not  rival  it.  and  yet,  both  craved  one  another,  they  sought  the  other  instead  of  anything  else.  it  wasn't  because  they  felt  the  other  wasn't  capable  of  handling  their  own  affairs  but  because  they  craved  the  other  more.  ❝  it  does  all  feel  very  unsettling.  ❞  she  agrees.  siara  is  not  attuned  to  magic  in  any  different  way,  but  her  shadows  sense  disturbances,  things  that  feel  powerful  and  should  be  feared.  the  shadowsinger  didn't  appreciate  needing  to  feel  afraid,  even  if  she  had  good  warning.  if  anything,  it  made  her  more  angry  at  the  entire  situation.  she  laughs  lightly  instead  of  arguing,  closing  her  eyes  as  his  touch  sweeps  across  her  skin,  as  the  feeling  of  his  presence  washes  over  her  even  more.  nothing  has  ever  felt  so  peaceful.  the  sweet  sensations  that  skitter  across  her  skin  from  his  mere  lips  to  her  forehead  would  make  her  blanche,  but  she  loved  it  now.  the  pair  of  them  simply  relax  into  one  another,  a  palpable  feeling  she's  certain  both  understand.  a  hum,  ❝  it  would  have.  ❞  but  he  knew  that  she  wouldn't.  he  knew  she  didn't  trust  the  dragons  and  that  she  had  no  desire  to  test  how  they  shared  the  skies.  siara  was  not  normally  so  cautious,  but  she  also  rarely  showed  her  wings  when  so  many  eyes  could  spot  them.  ❝  that  they  are.  ❞  comes  her  grumble.  with  the  tease  of  night  sometime  in  their  future  it  felt  criminal  that  she  would  still  not  have  the  peace  to  fly.

Writing Disability and the Idea of Cure

Heyyyy it’s me. Wanted to write about this following my post about Writing Deaf Characters.

Please note - this post is intended for people writing about disabled characters, not a nuanced, in-depth discussion of disability and the idea of cures. I’m happy to discuss that too, if anyone wants, but I’m not going to make a big long post about it because my thoughts and feelings are too complex to be summarized in that way. Anyway -

Conceptions of Disability

There are many, many ways of looking at disability. I’m going to highlight two here that are extremely common today in America. They each have upsides, and they each have downsides.

The medical model of disability treats disability as an individual medical problem to be solved. In this framework, disability is a bodily impairment that should be solved through medical means and medical interventions.

The upsides of the medical model include the fact that it acknowledges that disability or its consequences can be uncomfortable, inconvenient, and undesirable in themselves. Someone who experiences chronic pain saying they wish that they weren’t in pain is not ableist, nor is it self-hating, in the view of the medical model. This mode also prompts progress in seeking ways to medically alleviate symptoms.

The downsides of the medical model are that it does not acknowledge inaccessibility or ableism, nor does it allow for joy and identification with disability. The problems associated with disability are located firmly within the disabled individual - the problem is not with the world, but with the disabled person themselves. Disability is always something to be fixed or cured, and choosing to identify with one’s disability or feel proud of it is bizarre at best.

The social model of disability views disability as a social condition, wherein disabled people are impaired by ableism and an inaccessible world. In this framework, disabled bodyminds do not need to change, rather, it is the world and neurotypical, able-bodied people who must adjust.

The upsides of the social model of disability range from encouraging disabled pride to centering the massive harm that ableism and inaccessibility do to disabled people. It recognizes and promotes human diversity, and asks that the world adapt to the people in it, rather than adapting people to the world.

The major downside of the social model of disability is that in many cases, it ignores very real impairments that do affect people’s lives and treats bodily difference as irrelevant. Even if every set of stairs had a ramp beside it, a person in a wheelchair still cannot walk, though they will have the same access to places that people who are able to walk do. This difference matters to many disabled people, and acknowledgement or mourning of that does not mean that the disabled people in question are not liberated, or are experiencing self-directed ableism.

There are many other models of looking at disability! I may do a write up about that later if people are interested. If you want to do your own research, I would advise understanding the charity model, as it can be easy to slip into and is not a good thing. More positive models to explore are Discrit. Alison Kafer’s political relational model, and the general concepts guiding disability justice.

In Whump

Adding this because I’m in the whump community, and it feels very relevant, so -

It is super tempting to inflict serious injuries on an OC for pain and suffering, and then have them recover very quickly with little to no lasting repercussions. Whump is imaginary, and people should do what they want in their writing, however, I would urge people to think about what messages they’re sending with these fast, flawless recoveries.

For instance: What fears do your whumpees have around acquiring disabilities? How does your whumper feel about their target acquiring disabilities? What are your caregiver’s goal’s in helping your whumpee, and what do they believe that “recovery” means?

What About the Idea of Cure?

The idea of cure is deeply complicated, deeply political, and ultimately, deeply personal. Everyone’s perspective on cure is different. For some people, being cured of their disability is a positive thing. For others, it constitutes an erasure of their identity and community.

For some, cures are not possible in their lifetime, or maybe ever. This can be a painful idea or a reassuring one.

Some communities more than others have a majority opinion about the idea of being cured. Most people know that Autistic people reject the idea of being cured, or even the idea that there is something to “cure.” Deaf communities tend to feel similarly. On the other hand, people with cancer, Alzheimer’s, cystic fibrosis, or degenerative muscular diseases may welcome the idea of being cured and the progress being made to cure them.

Some ideas of “cure” center on aborting fetuses that present with the disability in question. This is massively controversial, deeply painful for some, and personal to all. Some communities have public stances condemning the practice of aborting affected fetuses. Notably, this includes the Down Syndrome community and Dwarf community.

What Does This Mean For You And Your Writing?

As I have hopefully made clear, I am not in the business of telling people what to write. Many disabled people feel that it is not appropriate to ever write stories in which disabled characters are cured. My feelings are more complicated than that, but I won’t say that those people are wrong. I also won’t say that they’re right.

The following are some ways to think about disability and cure that might help deepen your characters. I am not commanding anyone to do anything; you can write whatever you want. Hopefully you find this interesting and very hopefully you find it helpful.

If you are writing a story in which a disabled person is not cured: Think about what that really means for them in terms of impact on identity, ability, and their life more broadly. How does their community react to the decision to avoid, or the lack of, medical solutions?

If you are writing a story in which a disabled person is cured: Think about your motivations for writing this particular story. How does this cure take place, and how does the character feel about it? What impact does the loss of their disability have on their life? How would a real-life person with that disability feel, reading your story?

Lastly, if you are writing about a diagnosis and the idea of cure comes up, please do some research into how that community feels about cures/medical intervention. Individuals in your writing may have different feelings about cure than their real life community, but it is worth thinking about why that would be.

If you are writing about a diagnosis and the idea of aborting affected fetuses comes up, please do some research into how that community feels about it. Please also understand that whatever your intentions, what you are writing about is a form of eugenics. 

I promise you that real life opinions exist about all of these things and all of these diagnoses, and I promise you that these opinions are valuable and worth reading. Please think about what you are saying about those communities when you write.

Thank you so much for reading! If there’s something else you’re wondering about, or would like to see, please hit me up! If you want to talk about something in this post, please also hit me up! I am not infallible, nor is everything I’ve written an objective fact. I’m doing my best, and always happy to get feedback. Happy writing!
