Endless Summer Collab: Tree Climbers
Hey! I'm SO excited to kick off the week-long Endless Summer collab between myself and some truly amazing posemakers! For the next seven days, there'll be a daily, summer-themed posepack from each of the following participants:
Day 1: Herecirm (Instagram | Twitter | Tumblr | Patreon) Day 2: @irislightsims (YouTube | Twitter | Tumblr | Instagram) Day 3: @simmireen (Instagram | Twitter | Tumblr | Patreon) Day 4: @whimsyalien (Twitter | Tumblr | Patreon) Day 5: @theserenadeofshadows (Instagram | Tumblr) Day 6: @surely-sims (Twitter | Patreon | Tumblr) Day 7 (our host!): @simmerianne93 (Twitter | Instagram | Tumblr | Patreon)
Make sure to follow them so you can collect all 7 packs (and if you're not familiar with their work already... do check it out!!).
Today's gift is a pack of 10 paired poses for 2 kids and a cherry tree, all-in-ones included. Place both teleporters in the centre of the tree, facing forward.
Photo-taking tip: the cherry tree will vanish if the camera is too close. In case you don't already know this trick, you can save camera angles while in tab mode: zoom in, enter tab mode, and hit ctrl+(enter number here). I usually use ctrl+5 or ctrl+6. Now you can leave tab mode, zoom out so that the tree reappears, enter tab mode, and hit the number you just saved - the camera will take you straight there. It saves you having to tediously zoom back in after entering tab!
You will need:- Pose Player - Teleport Any Sim - the upright cherry tree (base game)
Not required, but I find the Buckley Camera Mod useful for those low angle shots!

I remember watching a documentary on the development of Jedi: Fallen Order and seeing a part where they are focusing on a stable build. They apparently had 1,000+ bugs they needed squashed to accomplish this. As a gamer, this seems like an unrealistic amount.
Is it? How is it possible they were able to not only introduce, but also find that many bugs? Even for a studio that's a subsidiary of Electronic Arts, I can't imagine the Quality Assurance team finding even over 100.
Sorry for the longer question, but this always blew my mind. Thanks!
Tumblr media
How do they find that many bugs? Consider - in AAA games, we bring on entire teams of QA to test every day during production. Imagine 50 testers each find only five bugs a day from a full eight hours of testing. That's logging a combined 250 bugs daily. In a week, you've got 1,250 bugs. After a month, that's 5,000 bugs. A year would be 60,000 bugs. Most testers can find more than five in a day, especially early in development.
Tumblr media
To give you an idea of what things are like in the trenches, take my example. Two days ago, I personally fixed bug number 522,096 on my current project. I'm currently working on bug number 474,991. These are not randomly generated numbers. When I joined the team (roughly two years ago) I started working on bugs and tasks numbered in the mid 30,000s. QA finds and logs a lot of bugs.

Daily questions 10 - Tomiyama Choji
For all other translations, see this post!
Tumblr media
Tomiyama's answers:
If you have 500 yen, how would you use it? - I'd buy lots of candy! (t/n: the candy he refers to here is dagashi, which is very cheap candy children buy; think stuff along the lines of candy corn, chocolate coins, etc.)
If you could travel to somewhere in Japan for a holiday, where would you go? - Mt Fuji! To climb the highest mountain! (t/n: there were some comments on twitter talking about how he can reach the top at one shot, which is very tough. Normal people would start climbing on day one, stay at a rest house overnight halfway up, then get up at 4am or something the next day to reach the summit by sunrise)
What's your favourite condiment? - Ketchup! Because it's sweet and salty! (t/n: he'll be good friends with Sakura)
What do you think about before you sleep? - Eh? Think? I'm asleep so I don't know! (t/n: Idk why but I find this so precious ;-;)
What would you eat for your last meal? - I want to eat lots of dagashi until I'm completely stuffed! (t/n: see translator's note at Q1 about dagashi)
Recently, was there something that made you a little happy? - I picked up 100 yen!
If someone of the opposite gender asks you for your contact number, what would you do? - Ok, sure! Here it is! By the way, who are you? (t/n: NO TOMIYAMA YOU DO NOT DO FIRST THEN ASK QUESTIONS LATER)
I was ambivalent towards Tomiyama at first (even after the manga), but after going through his answers to these questions I can really see why Togame and Shishitouren like him so much ;-; He's literally a ray of sunshine ;-; I'm really happy the anime team gave us so much extra content, it lends so much more depth to the characters beyond the main story in the manga.

You know the posts recently about bbh neg on twter, the timing of it with that going on, makes me want to hurl, they don't give a shit about "victims" or the real issues. They just want to dunk on the next cc they hate using the current "momentum".
You know what, I say let them go ahead and try to "cancel" Bad, really, go ahead. They're just regurgitating shit DSMP fans has said over the years again and again about Bad. Its fcking funny actually. Oh not forgetting they had to invent new ones or ones THAT THEIR FAVES HAVE DONE TOO BTW, to "cancel" Bad. To think I was looking forward to QSMP fans being "healthier" or "better" than DSMP ones, oh boy am I sorely disappointed.
Let them run their mouths about Bad. Cuz I'm 100% sure the CCs , QSMP admins, and Quackity give 0 shit about them. Etoiles knows and has already expressed how he knows that Bad is overly hated by the fandom and how he receives neg on the daily. Despite knowing that, he's still cordial with Bad. And he even expressed how he tries to not be "angry" or "frustrated" at Bad or else the parasocial fucks will come running to "defend" him from "evil" BBH when he has said a million times over that its not a fcking big deal, and hes just expressing himself NOT IN A NEG WAY. but noooo parasocial fucks be like "oh no my skunkrly wrunkly his feelings got hurt oh no" same shit with foolish fans. Fcking blind af. Esp the new ones who hasnt experienced the prank wars in dsmp. Fcking joyless fucks who cant handle a fcking block game that theyre not even playing. But thankfully, Etoiles stopped being so concerned, and well, yk with Foolish lmao same old same old.
(Disclaimer: SOME FANS NOT ALL, IM TALKING ABOUT THE TOXIC PARASOCIAL FUCKS, YES EVEN THE BIG ACCOUNTS ON TWITTER WITH THOUSANDS OF FOLLOWERS. You know who. Big numbers doesn't mean they're more RIGHT. A parasocial fuck is a parasocial fuck. Also, when I say parasocial, I mean the ones who are toxic and project themselves onto the CC. Being parasocial is fine, if it's the healthy kind, if you know what I mean)
I digress, there's no fcking unfollows or subtweets from CCs to Bad, unlike with D or F. In fact, some CCs and CLOSE FRIENDS of Bad's have always praised Bad and defended him TO THIS DAY. If that is not enough of an indication of how unproblematic he is, Idk what else to say. Just fuck off and live a life in constant misery and hatred ig. That's why don't respond to fucks like that. Just mute em. They can yap all they want but it means SHIT ALL if you don't see it. BBH's community is WAY WAY smaller than the whole fandom (and theres wayyy more toxic fucks) so bbhs community saying shit back to the toxic shits will also mean SHIT ALL. They CLEARLY don't watch Bad anyways so what's the point. Better way to deal with this shit is fight the misinformation, that's all. Spread more positivity and give ppl FULL context and CORRECT information. If you see some shit against Bad, report it and send it to whatever ban list qsmp uses. Send it to mods or something. Ik that Bagi's discord has something like that.
Oh but ppl be like /rp or /lh or "it's just my opinion", who gives a shit. Still report them. We're not dumb. The mods or whoever admins are not dumb. That negative toxic fuck smell on it, is fcking obvious enough.
STOP GIVING THEM ENGAGEMENTS. We can happily stay in each others bubbles without ever talking to each other, AND THAT IS FINE. Don't let the negative fucks in. Mute and report them, and I guarantee you, that fcking stranger on the Internet, you'll forget within DAYS. those fuckers won't even exist to you, vice versa.
THEIR WORDS HOLD NO POWER OVER YOU OR THE QSMP COMMUNITY. KEEP THE QSMP COMMUNITY HEALTY AND SAFE. Fuck them toxic shits.

do you maybe know some taekook fics which include fluff ????
I wasn't sure if you meant exclusively fluffy fics or if a little angst was allowed so:
Exclusively fluff:
Stuffed Drumsticks and Cotton Candy Kisses by orphan_account (1/1 | 6,528 | M)
Taehyung is really good at precision-based games and Jeongguk is really good at strength-based games. Together, they amass a terrifying number of prizes before being kicked out of the carnival.
(meet cute)
Something Blue by starsign (1/1 | 11,077 | E)

(strangers to friends/fwb to lovers)
unexpectedly you by serenitaes (1/1 | 15,162 | NR)
“Oh my god,” Jeongguk mutters, spinning on his heel because he can’t look Taehyung in the eye right now otherwise he will combust. “What are you doing?” Taehyung giggles, tugging on his arm. “Turn back around, I wanna see your face.” “No,” Jeongguk gets out. “I’m good here.” “Jeongguk.” “What?” he mutters, still with his back to Taehyung. “Jeongguk.” Jeongguk huffs, slowly turning back around. He’s met with Taehyung’s wide-set grin, sparkly eyes and handsome as hell face that gets his neck warming further because Taehyung really is insanely handsome. “Did I make you blush?”
(single dads au)
the happiest place on earth by taecheeks (1/1 | 15,250 | E)
“Oh god, Kook. Don’t tell me you’re going to propose in front of the Cinderella Castle. That’s like, extra cheesy. The most cheese, even for you.” “No?” Jungkook laughs. Does it sound as nervous to Taehyung as it does to himself? “No, that’s corny. Definitely not.”
(established relationship, marriage proposal)
Hey Baby, Is Your Latin Name ‘Pterophyllum?’ Because You Look Like an Angel(fish) to Me. by laykive (littleheichou) (1/1 | 27,150 | T)
Part of the 100 Writing Prompts Challenge - No.7 "Fish". Taehyung's professor tells him that he can't do a fourth art project on fish, for some strange reason. AKA: Taehyung draws a boy that he happens to sit in front of in the library and falls in love with each individual line.

(boss/employee relationship, single dad au)
Fluff + angst:
Cinnamon Crisp by teatimetaemint (1/1 | 21,482 | M)
Jungkook needs his daily dose of cuddles and Taehyung likes to wear Jungkook's clothes. They don't care that alphas and omegas aren't supposed to be best friends.
(omegaverse)
how to take a fall by orphan_account (2/2 | 27,939 | G)
"I wanted it to be you. I wanted it to be you so badly." or, Taehyung and Jeongguk form a bond by chatting and exchanging semi-anonymous messages on Twitter, blissfully unaware that they are actually business competitors.
(identity porn, online romance)
Outlines by meganni (5/5 | 119,975 | M)
Simply put, Taehyung needs a boyfriend for his brother’s wedding – Jeongguk volunteers. (Featuring lots of phone calls, a healthy amount of practice, and unnecessary throwbacks and references).
(fake dating au)

Before we start...
Tumblr media
(art by juliuuz_)
About writing style:
Normal font is Atsuha's lines, 𝔻𝕠𝕦𝕓𝕝𝕖 𝕊𝕥𝕣𝕦𝕔𝕜 𝕗𝕠𝕟𝕥 𝕗𝕠𝕣 𝕁𝕦𝕟𝕡𝕖𝕚'𝕤 𝕝𝕚𝕟𝕖𝕤.
The lore is pretty advanced, but time can be pretty inconsistent around here; I've sort of advanced the character lore during RP periods in Telegram and Twitter, so yeah, there might be inconsistent mentions...
I was planning to answer asks through drawings with texts, but I haven't been drawing as constantly as I used to... Still, I do hope to get back on usual drawing track and eventually drop autoral art; until then, any drawing made by other artists will be properly tagged.
About Atsuha Soga
Blog rules:
Atsuha's loyal to her title of 'Aikō-ka', an enthusiast, being for Jujutsu or other things. She'll be VERY happy to answer questions or get new info about it.
There might be a bit of NSFW mentions, but not always; Atsuha's sort of hesitant about it, unless it's with her boyfriend.
Homophobes, racists, zionists, sexists, haters, DON'T EVEN COME. This is meant to be a peaceful place.
She's not much of an RP person, despite the description. She takes questions one at a time.
Her mood can variate: some days, she'll be up for questions, other times, she's a bit more sensitive, there are even days where she 'just can't even'.
Both Atsuha and Junpei answer the questions, and due to their 'soul resonance', now and then they share their thoughts.
Cross-fandom allowed, but mainly this is a JJK ask blog.
Please be patient with the mun; life happens, but eventually the asks will be answered.
And finally, let's have fun!
Tumblr media
JJAK continuity rules:
2023/2024 - 5/6 years after the events of JJK
Jujutsu society is being reconstructed and restructured, with certain delays due to the pandemic and also governmental situation.
Even with more people being able to see things with and use Cursed Energy, there's still a small number of sorcerers. * more of a personal note to myself, who struggles daily with 'accuracy to source when writing or drawing'; still working on undoing this decision and feel okay with what I create as before
Takaba might have 'punched this world into existing' (MIGHT)
Tengen's remains, alongside Sukuna's, are sealed, and the barriers remain stable for now, though it is unknown for how long; best guess is around 100 years.
The pandemic years were stressful, and yet sabbatical for the surviving sorcerers; they finally had the time to grieve their fallen comrades and start reestablishing Jujutsu HQ and society. Also, despite clans not being outright extinct, there'll be democratic elections for new higher-up positions; Gakuganji is still alive, but needs a ‘heir’ of sorts to not just take his position when he dies but also keep Yaga’s secret safe.
Satoru Gojo is fondly remembered, not much more as 'the strongest', but instead almost at a 'deity' position, to everyone's chagrin, especially Yuta.

SpaceTime -- A brief history
SpaceTime is Australia’s most popular and respected astronomy and space science news program – averaging over two million downloads every year. We’re also number five in the United States.  The show reports on the latest stories and discoveries making news in astronomy, space flight, and science.  SpaceTime features weekly interviews with leading Australian scientists about their research.  The show began life in 1995 as ‘StarStuff’ on the Australian Broadcasting Corporation’s (ABC) NewsRadio network.  Award winning investigative reporter Stuart Gary created the program during more than fifteen years as NewsRadio’s evening anchor and Science Editor.  Gary’s always loved science. He studied astronomy at university and was invited to undertake a PHD in astrophysics, but instead focused on his career in journalism and radio broadcasting. Gary’s radio career stretches back some 34 years including 26 at the ABC. He worked as an announcer and music DJ in commercial radio, before becoming a journalist and eventually joining ABC News and Current Affairs. He was part of the team that set up ABC NewsRadio and became one of its first on air presenters. When asked to put his science background to use, Gary developed StarStuff which he wrote, produced and hosted, consistently achieving 9 per cent of the national Australian radio audience based on the ABC’s Nielsen ratings survey figures for the five major Australian metro markets: Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide, and Perth.  The StarStuff podcast was published on line by ABC Science -- achieving over 1.3 million downloads annually.  However, after some 20 years, the show finally wrapped up in December 2015 following ABC funding cuts, and a redirection of available finances to increase sports and horse racing coverage.  Rather than continue with the ABC, Gary resigned so that he could keep the show going independently.  StarStuff was rebranded as “SpaceTime”, with the first episode being broadcast in February 2016.  Over the years, SpaceTime has grown, more than doubling its former ABC audience numbers and expanding to include new segments such as the Science Report -- which provides a wrap of general science news, weekly skeptical science features, special reports looking at the latest computer and technology news, and Skywatch – which provides a monthly guide to the night skies. The show is published three times weekly (every Monday, Wednesday and Friday) and available from the United States National Science Foundation on Science Zone Radio, and through both i-heart Radio and Tune-In Radio.

The Truth about the Jeffrey Epstein John Does: What the media and "influencers" are getting wrong.
TECHNO FOG substack DEC 19, 2023
There is a certain level of difficulty in reporting on the Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell saga, much of it having to do with what the authorities haven’t revealed: the web of Epstein’s network (much of it still secret), the ties to intelligence (of which documentary evidence is still hidden from public view), the internal deliberations that went on at Main Justice in Washington, D.C. when Epstein got his sweetheart plea deal (again, not yet publicized).
Add to that the false media reports and blatantly inaccurate social media posts that spring up every time there’s any small development in any Epstein or Maxwell case.
Like today, for example.
The Daily Mail led the way, reporting that a federal judge “has ruled to unseal documents that would name 177 Does who are Epstein's friends, recruiters and victims within the coming weeks.” This was followed by a flurry of social media takes – especially on Twitter – promising there will be serious revelations from these records or claims that “177 Jeffrey Epstein high profile associates will be revealed in the new year.”
There’s a problem with that sensationalism: it’s inaccurate.
To explain what’s really going on, allow us to provide some context. Back in February of 2023, the Federal District Court Judge overseeing Virginia Giuffre v. Ghislaine Maxwell (the civil case brought against Maxwell by one of her victims) considered whether to publicly disclose the names of certain “John Does” that came up during the course of that litigation. The attorneys for Giuffre and Maxwell put together a list of 167 John Does and provided descriptive references for each, which would allow the Judge to determine which John Does should be unsealed and which ones should remain sealed.
At that time, we reviewed the list of John Does and assigned them various categories, including whether they were employees of Epstein, witnesses, or perpetrators; and whether their names were already known to the public. We were able to identify the most important alleged perpetrators and discussed the still-redacted facts surrounding their involvement with Epstein.
We also made clear that the majority of the John Does (approximately 100) had already been identified, whether through the media or court proceedings. Some had been interviewed by the media; their stories were already well known. We observed that many of the John Does were identified as not being involved in the more serious allegations against Epstein or Maxwell and that there were no “salacious” allegations against these individuals, some of whom were doctors or acquaintances of the victims. In some instances, the John Does were actual potential victims of Epstein or Maxwell.
And now for today’s developments.
The Judge has ordered the unsealing of names and materials relating to some – but not all – of the 167 John Does (not 177 as has been reported) identified in the list submitted to the Court. View the full order here.
As we clarified last February, the John Does who will be unsealed aren’t “Epstein’s List.” Their names were referenced in any number of ways during the civil case, whether through depositions, medical records (the names of doctors), or in witness lists exchanged between the parties. (To that we add a note of caution: witness lists can be very broad and not all witnesses are material or have even basic information.)
And again, many of the John Does were not alleged by the parties to have committed any wrongdoing. For example, John Doe 14 is referenced in one sealed court filing related to an effort by Maxwell to oppose answering deposition questions under seal. The “sealed material as to [John Doe 14] is not salacious.” He isn’t, as others have promised, a key figure in the Epstein/Maxwell crimes.
And that’s true for many of the other John Does. We’ve analyzed the prior John Doe lists and compared it to today’s order. Here’s the summary of our findings:
There are approximately 100 John Does who were previously identified. Some had been interviewed by the media. The names of others (including victims) had been discussed in Maxwell’s criminal trial. This includes victims and perpetrators.
Approximately 67 remain unidentified.
For 33 of the unknown John Does: the sealed material relating to them “is not salacious” or their name was in a search term or they were mentioned in a deposition. In the case of John Doe 88, “the only reference [of John Doe 88] is a deposition question in answer to which the deponent denied knowledge of the individual.”
Six of the unidentified John Does are victims whose names will not be released.
Six of the unidentified John Does were identified as either victim affiliates or alleged witnesses with connections to the victims. Their names and materials concerning them will be released.
The names, and materials relating to, a number of Epstein affiliates or former Epstein employees will be released. Records indicate - but do not guarantee - that the majority of these do not include salacious information.
The name and materials concerning John Doe 29 – a former Epstein employee – will be unsealed. The Judge described them as “a staff member possibly present at a time and place.” This might be an Epstein employee who was theorized by a witness to perhaps be present in a home when a victim was abused.
There are, however, John Does who may be significant. But that is a small number compared to the 167 John Does subject to the Judge’s order. We’ve summarized them below.
John Doe 58: An alleged witness, Epstein/Maxwell affiliate, and perpetrator. According to the Judge, “Doe 58's name and any identifying information shall remain sealed. Doe is a classic outsider, peripheral to the events at issue. Doe 58 is neither a victim nor associated with Epstein or Maxwell.”
As we previously noted about John Doe 58:
John Doe 86: An alleged Epstein affiliate. Counsel for Maxwell previously informed the Court that “Some material related to this individual is salacious.”  Materials relating to John Doe 86 will be “unsealed in full.”
John Doe 94: Previously identified as “alleged victim affiliate; alleged perpetrator” who “is alleged to have engaged in serious wrongdoing.” Materials relating to John Doe 94 will be “unsealed in full.”
John Doe 108: Previously identified as an “alleged witness.” These materials may potentially be salacious.
John Doe 113: Previously identified as “alleged Epstein affiliate; alleged witness” who “is alleged to have engaged in serious wrongdoing.” The Judge ruled these materials should be unsealed in full, and stated the references to John Doe 113 “are all included in Rule 26 disclosures, search terms, and a hearsay statement that the name appears in Epstein’s address book.”
John Doe 114: Previously identified as an “alleged Epstein affiliate.” Their name is on an Epstein flight log. These materials will be unsealed.
And there you have it. I hate to break the disappointing news, but we’re here to report the truth. The unsealing of these records and the publication of these names won’t be what we’ve been promised.
This doesn’t mean that important information won’t be disclosed, or that new and noteworthy discoveries may not be unearthed about known and unknown perpetrators. We believe that still may be the case.  
And we’ll provide the source documents when they’re released – which, depending on appeals, may be as soon as January 2, 2024.

i do actually have massive issues with the tone of this post [mrs-monaghan/720032101019353088/taekook-always-lead-in-fancam-views-because-their] minimising jungkook’s achievements (and tae’s for that matter but you can’t talk about him here unless to hate on him otherwise you’re accused to be a tkker). explain to me why it’s so important that jimin’s songs do better than jungkook’s? why is it not relevant when jungkook’s fancam is the most watched on tiktok but like crazy catching up to dreamers is so important? why were all jkkers actively tweeting about jimin surpassing jk’s record to 1b streams? never jk surpassing jimin in anything? jk’s achievements are never discussed by jkkers yet you defend jimin like your life depended on it. show me the last time you praised jk that wasn’t for his dick or what you think he does to jimin. jkkers never talk about jk as an individual without it relating to jimin yet jimin is praised on the daily like it’s your job.
Your main issue about me being a Jikooker and seeing JK as a shipping tool 👇🏽
I made my stand clear on this issue here
Here i once again praise both men because I support both and said JK will indeed break Jimin's records
I can't shut up about JK breaking Jimin's records
And lastly I dare you to tell me that this here isn't me being on JK's corner.
Your other issue about Jikookers and I talking about Jimin surpassing JK. Because he has??? And we are only talking about the records Jimin is breaking Because currently he's the only one between them breaking records?? He's the only one between them who's dropped an album so we are keeping up with FACE and it's achievements. When JJK1 drops and me and other Jikookers aren't praising him and talking about his achievements then by all means go off. But as it stands JK hasn't done anything. There is no album to talk about. Left and Right is making noise sure but anything it wins goes to Charlie poop. I want JK's own music where he gets the awards, he gets the credit.
Whatever you have seen on tumblr or on twitter is not my problem. I am not ALL Jikookers. I am Shaz. And me as Shaz love BOTH Jimin and JK. I root for both Jimin and JK. I can praise JK's dick and still praise his achievements. Those two are not mutually exclusive. I resent this accusation and honestly fuck you with a cactus.
Tumblr media
And fuck you for having an issue with us defending Jimin like our lives depend on it. He's the one who's always gotten fucked over my the company not JK. What is there to defend JK on when he gets the royal treatment while Jimin doesn't? Even today with their individual fancams coincidentally Jimin's own is the only one that only had a link. All the other 6 had their photos. This can affect views because the human brain is attracted to imagery more than just words. They only just fixed it like 2 hours ago. This is something so trivial and normally no one would give a shit. But when this shit keeps happening to Jimin over and over people can get triggered over the smallest shit. Thus why PJMs made a big deal over a simple cake. A cake that Jimin wouldn't have eaten anyway coz of his diet but why can't he get what others got?? Even after he achieved something that hasn't been achieved since the 1960s?? He wasn't just the first Korean but the first Asian to get a number 1 on BB hot 100 since the 60s and what did BH do for him to celebrate this? Fuck all. And u wanna be mad at us for defending him like our lives depend on it.
Maybe there are Jikookers out there who don't see JK as anything more than Jimin's lover. But that aint me. But yes, you will find more shipping posts on my blog than achievement posts because that's what this is. A shipping blog. I am here for Jikook's relationship so yes, its what I will talk about the most. I also talk about the Jungkonda alot because yes, man has a big dick and I wanna talk about it. And so what if it's more interesting to me?
And incase you hadn't noticed I answer asks. I don't make my own posts.
You wanna see JK math then go follow JK data accounts that only post about his music and achievements. I will mention these things occasionally but I'm primarily here for the Jikook relationship. I'm sorry if you misunderstood but I hope that's clear now. That also goes for Jimin. I definitely talk more about his relationship than I do his achievements. Why aren't you mad about that??
Just say you're a JK solo and go.

This post is addressed to non-Arab users
If you don't know the whole truth, here's a simple historical summary to clarify things for you: (by: @MoatAwesome_ on twitter)
Tumblr media
The ongoing war between Israel and Palestine is not a war between two states, so the attack of the Palestinian resistance is not a declaration of war, but only a reaction to ...
violations that have been taking place for more than 70 years .
Tumblr media
For more than a century, the Palestinian Territories belonged to the Ottoman Empire
During World War I, as the empire faltered , eventually giving way to the Republic of Türkiye –– Britain seized it.
Tumblr media
In 1917, the British Foreign Secretary, in a letter to Lionel Rothschild, declared his full support for the establishment of a Jewish state on the Palestinian Territories
We call this promise “A promise from someone who does not possess to someone who does not deserve”
Tumblr media
At the beginning of the implementation of this fateful promise, the number of Jews in Palestine was 7%, this percentage increased to 28% of the total population after the immigration of European Jews to Palestine under the British protectorate
After the end of World War II, the United Nations issued a resolution on the partition of Palestine between Arabs and Jews in 1947
On May 14, 1948, the leaders of Israel met at the Tel Aviv Museum and announced the end of the British Mandate and the establishment of the state of Israel was recognized by the United States of America and the Soviet Union
Tumblr media
The 1948 War
Many Arab countries rejected the occupation of Palestine and its partition by the United States unjustly, and many wars were won in which Israel won with the support of America and took areas of land larger than the one declared by the United States
Tumblr media
Many armed and unarmed Palestinian organizations were formed and had one demand, which was the liberation of their state, which was divided and occupied unjustly
Tumblr media
Violations against the Palestinian people are carried out on a daily and systematic basis there are more than 100 thousand registered martyrs / twice this number has not been counted and there are more than a million killed
The attacks are carried out in various aspects of life, including education, health, supplies that are constantly being cut off, violations of religious sanctities and provocation on all occasions and holidays
Israel does'nt want to give the Palestinians peace, as it claims, and does'nt want establish a state for Palestinians next to their so-called state, as the UN claims, the Palestinian map is shrinking dayily while the territories controlled by the Israeli occupation are expanding
Tumblr media
Google for Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood , and you will see violations and settlement
The Palestinian resistance is only a reaction to daily violations that occur and no one talks about them
Tumblr media
if you are a free person, you certainly will not accept all this hypocrisy and Distortion of facts from the international community
Pray for Palestine and support Palestine

What was that anon on about saying Harries don’t believe Harry is straight? I’ve seen far more het harries on Twitter than fans thinking he’s queer or bi-sexual. I think that anon is not venturing out of their bubble. That’s why people say he’s queer baiting. The general public wouldn’t accuse him of that if they believed he was a part of the queer community. Now if you ask Louies. Very few of his fans believe he’s 100% straight, regardless of the image he portrays. That’s the difference.
I think it’s time to let the Spotify numbers argument go. Many artists on Spotify have millions more than Louis but can’t fill a room of fans on a tour. I don’t use Spotify any more but I listen to Louis nearly daily. There’s just too many different ways to listen to music these days so it’s not just concentrated on Spotify anymore. He’s also done well with his tour for an artist with zero radio support. People make it sound like louis has 10 people in the audience or something and using Harry’s tours as some sort of comparison. Nobody knows where an artist will be in 5 years but after having 2+ years of touring, it’s good he’s going to take a break after these festivals. Just like I thought it would be good for Harry to take a breather. Little did we know Harry would become the Lime bike spokesperson on his “time off”
Hi, anon!
Yep, you wouldn't have queerbaiting accusations if people suspected H to be queer.
I agree that Spotify numbers isn't indicative of L's ability to sell tour tickets. He's got more name recognition and a larger fandom than artists who's got more monthly listeners than him. And he sells more tickets and puts on more shows then them. He is doing really well. It's just that people keep comparing him to A++ artists who gets everything they point at, or they wish he could do better because there is so much unreleased potential. Considering his image and the gps opinion of him, i think he's doing really, really well.
I don't think L will take a break after the festival run. Touring break yes, but i think he'll dive straight into the next album.

Ayo!
Ayo! It has been a while. I haven't posted any art for a while now (which I will get back to doing soon).
Where have I been
For the short answer:
I have been busy. College, Home, and being a Christian
Now for the long answer:
I am going to break it up into parts while I rant cause it gonna be a minute and there are a few things I need to let off of my chest.
College Update🏫🎓:
I normally don't like sharing how I am busy with other things than art, but now I am at the point where I have a voice and I need to use it for once. Yes, I go to College for a degree in Animation. So most of the time my hiatus is because of College, especially Finals. Yeaaaaaaaah! Overall I have been busy with work. I would love to post my progress but I feel as if it is not my best. Oh well.🫤 After, I will be able to have a break in the middle of May so their some good news there.
Youtube Update📽️📺:
For my YouTube Friends/Viewers out there and newcomers joining the party, breathes THANK YOU! THANK! YOU THANK YOU! SUPER! DUPER! OH SO MUCH FOR SUBSCRIBING TO MY CHANNEL!!! 🤗😍😄😆THANK YOU LORD AND THANK YOU ALL!!! YOU ALL ARE THE BEST! I started with 7 subs and I never thought I could get 50 subscribers. But now 641+ SUBSCRIBERS!!!!! I wanted to make a special video for when I got a 100 but the numbers quickly kept going higher and higher and I was happy and yet overwhelming. I am so grateful to have this opportunity to share goofy goobers stuff with you. 🤗😊👍. Now with the question. Am I still going to do YouTube you haven't really posted any new videos yet? Yeah, I know. But Yes! I am still going to do YouTube. I am working on 2 new videos, so I will have a poll ready for you guys to vote on which one you want to see first. I finished 1 video now I am about 60% done with the 2nd video. Until then you can Vote on which video you want to see first while I do some catch-up.
link to poll: https://www.youtube.com/post/UgkxdoxchkFP1fHQr6LfhVp_z21IbWmKqrBm
Social Media Art Update📲📳:
I will be posting art again BUT I will stop posting in some social media accounts. For those who want to be an artist, I definitely recommend doing 1 website and then expanding if you can. But not just that, if you are a beginner/new artist and you want to know what place to post your art, Firstly I recommend posting on sites where your favorite artists post. Most of the time They have some good pointers on where to go about posting art. Secondly and MOST IMPORTANT, post art in places where you can look it up AND it will show up on Google or Bing. For instance, If you look up Mario fanart on Google and click on images, (I know it's fanart but hear me out), The sites you will see are mostly Twitter, DeviantArt, Pinterest, Reddit and sometimes Tumblr will show up. Others like Artstation too. But not much of Instagram or Facebook. That's odd? The number 1 website for artists, from what people have recommended me, is NOT showing up on Google. Well, not a lot. Why is that? IDK. All I know is that should have been a warning sign that my art wouldn't be shown to the masses in the degree I was looking for. So when I post on Instagram, It does feel like I am posting to an endless void of nothingness. Your Artwork is valuable and should be treated as such so everyone can see it (unless you don't want to).
Here is my tier list of the Social Media I use daily for entertainment and posting as a creator on these platforms.
Tumblr media
Update:: okie….. sooooo….. about the Mario fanart thingy. Apparently, Google has been overhearing me rant (literally) and rolling in Instagram and Facebook art on Google images which wasn’t the case before. But at least they are taking measures. But even though Google is allowing Instagram to be more recognized, I'm sorry but THE APP itself still has problems that Google can't fix. (Unless they bought it of course)
Besides YouTube, I can recommend Twitter, DeviantArt, Pinterest, Reddit, and Tumblr, just because you can post without feeling like you have to be a pro artist to be considered good, and you can grow and share with a community. And the best part is if you're an introvert (like me) You can post and worry less. I like to comment when someone comments back to help build confidence for myself but you don't have to if you feel shy. It takes small steps so don't rush yourself or your art. Another thing I would like to add is that if you love making GIF Art, you can do it on all the other platforms except…
Instagram. 😒😠😤
A literal sweat job with an inconsistent indiscriminate rate of changes left and right. Make reels, Make stories, Make post, all at once, every day, AND BOTS. Even watching reels about artists struggle just seems unhealthy to me, but Instagram loves this apparently. I mean, yes, we are struggling and there are plenty of underrated artists out there, I know it. But how are we helping them by promoting reels about art struggles and ways to get big on Instagram, instead of exploring new art techniques and trying new things when creating art. It also doesn't help that it is hard for me to refresh my feed from scratch. My bad Instagram for liking 1 Sonic fanart post, I just like 1 okay. I don't mean for you to give me all of them. Sheesh 😤There are just too many negatives of this platform I can't even begin with. Kinda like Twitter but at least Twitter hashtags work "sometimes". It is hard to trust a platform when you have bots swarming to your page and when you think that a live PERSON responded to your post BUT it is a bot recommending you to give them your art for the bot to share it. What kind of place is this? At the time I was trying to figure out where to post my art, I searched on Google, Reddit, and even YouTube, and most of the art videos I saw at that time all recommended Instagram. Well, I am here to say DON'T USE INSTAGRAM! This is a warning for someone who first uses this as their first art account. DO NOT USE IT PLEASE!
Man, this is the most negative thing I said but I'm just tired of thinking that this is okay and I need to put up with this and I don't.
In short, I will not post any future art I make on Instagram but the page will be open for those who want to see it. I may even come back to Instagram, but changes must be made for to make that move again. For now, I am happily posting on all the other platforms for now.
Being a Christian⛪✝️:
I am a Christian. I have been a Christian But I am a Sinner. I know I have done things wrong and I know I deserve hell, but I repent, repenting constantly for God to forgive me of my sins.🙏 I know I am sounding a bit Biblical but I am being serious. Heaven is real. Hell is real. And if both of those are really real then that must be God is real and the Bible is a history recorded for use to read and learn and hear from Him. No, I am not trying to convert you to Christianity, this is more for me than anyone I suppose. I have been dealing with doubts in my life and some things I just can't explain. But I know there has to be something beyond this life. There are just too many signs pointing in that direction and it is hard to keep quiet about. I know God saved my parents. I have seen it multiple times. But at the same time, I tend to forget and lose faith in Jesus at times which is sad. Is Jesus coming back again? If so then sign me up I will do my best to be closer to Him. It's just that I don't want to go to hell for all of eternity, so if I don't want to go there I need to believe in Jesus Christ. It is a lot easier said than done but I also want to share the good news with others that Jesus loves them but I don't want to offend anyone if that makes. But I guess I can tell you if you don't mind.
Jesus loves you! 💖💝
Yay, I said it! Oh I forgot to add that I don't want to rush anything that I do moving forward and take it easy. But don't worry I still draw fanart of my favorite video game characters is just that I am adding one more layer to what I post that's all.
Oh
You're still reading this?!?
...
uuh
I don't have anything else to say
I guess I can end it off like VeggieTales did
God made you special and He loves you very much
Buh bye👋😊
Happy Blessing

For those who are looking to get into Bluesky Social but don't want to spend cash to get an invite code, a Discord server is offering free codes to users through a shorter wait list system. The codes are handed out in limited quantities on a daily basis, prioritizing on members who actively post in the server's various channels.
Due to the dynamic ranking implemented there, active members will often have to compete for a top spot within the wait list, though spamming meaninglessly is highly discouraged by the moderators. The command /waitlist allows members to constantly check where they are in the wait list priority rank, giving them a sense of how much they need to engage with others.
It might seem too good to be true, but so far the Discord server is seeing a large number of people joining due to recent events surrounding Twitter. Also, there is no need to spend money unless you feel like giving the hard-working staff members a Ko-fi for their troubles. It's also a good way to become acquainted with like-minded artists, writers, gamers, and generalists who can follow you in Bluesky or vice versa.
This option is mainly viable for those who are patient enough and don't have the money to buy a code from sellers in eBay or Reddit. Right now, the most populated subreddit for Bluesky codes is run by a man named Felix Josemon who is charging $50 to $100 for potential clients to enter the platform. Sounds like a scam, wouldn't you agree?
In return for receiving a free invite code from the Discord server, members who've successfully entered Bluesky are encouraged to distribute their own codes to other users as a sign of goodwill. Various rewards and privileges are also handed out based on the amount of codes a user shares, so it's basically win-win for both parties. Furthermore, any member given a non-functioning code will be given another one until they gain actual entry to the platform.
I can attest to being able to enter the platform this way by constantly interacting with users until my activity level reached a sufficient amount. And yes, this approach probably won't appeal to introverts much since the goal is to get active members into the platform first. It sounds rather unfair, but it's the only way the staff members can ration out the limited number of codes they get daily.
