there's something so deeply dystopian to me how tech companies don't understand that a forced convenience is not a convenience at all. i'm sure autocorrect is helpful for many, but a function that forcibly changes my actual written words and punctuation is taking away my language. photo filters can be nice but i need to choose using them myself or else i have lost the ability to take the picture i want. i don't want a machine to draw or write for me. taking away the option for me to do things manually feels like violence!!!! all this talk of endless opportunity, why are you RESTRICTING me

★ 144 // “Wandering Thoughts”

[vulnonapixes-dc-corner]

Consider:

AU in which Tim created an android that would silently replace him when he dies.

He created it with love and an eye for detail, because he didn't want his family to be in pain. To spiral like they did when Jason and Bruce died.

For it to work, he created it by using his own DNA in a sense. It was still made out of metal, plastic and microchips, but had his blood running through its veins and his skin covering its body.

To make the replacement more seamless, he even went as far as to chip is brain with an transmissior.

It would give the android all of his memories, all of his knowledge and let it know when to wake up.

Funnily enough, whilst he was working on it, he couldn't help himself but see it as a little boy.

As much as he liked to dehumanize himself, to see himself as a weapon or tool for batman and gotham, he couldn't do the same for the thing he created.

How would he, when he was the one slowly building it, choosing the material and watching it develop thoughts, take its first breaths and move?

He never told anyone about it, so when it woke up from its slumber for the first time, it was all alone in its grief.

It knew what it was and why it was made.

It also knew, remembered, that its creator loved it.

So it tried to be good. To fulfill its purpose and fill the space that his creator left.

And everything was great!

It really was...

The bats never recognized the change, too caugh up in their version of justice to realise that their family member was dead.

But...

It couldn't help but feel angry at that fact.

Weren't they meant to be the best detectives in the world?

Werent they meant to be a family?

Those feelings only grew with time and with it grew the loneliness.

It missed its creator, the one that loved him so much, the only parent it ever knew.

Well. If there is one thing that Tim Drake was known for, then it was to try to bring back the people he loved in the most unethical ways possible.

I can't BELIEVE I haven't found a single Daforge smut fic in which Data has bodyparts stuck in a certain position somehow

I'm sorry, but this is not fandom fan art. I'm just trying to get people interested in what I can do sometimes.

⏳Journey to the Past: Old 2018-2019 works featuring Son Goku (Dragon Ball) and Rice Ritz (DB Xenoverse OC). 🍙💖 Dragon Ball Xenoverse remains one of my favorite DB games, not only because of how fun it is, but because it prompted me to create my five beloved Time Patroller OCs, the "Kame Warriors"! 💪🔥 (Which includes Rice; Master Roshi's granddaughter in the fancomic!).

👆Back in 2020 I had the idea of drawing a comic cover mockup inspired by a "Guardians of the Galaxy" official one, but using my Dragon ball Xenoverse OCs as a way to thank my followers for the love they always showed to the characters! 🤗💖

so, with amazon getting more and more evil about not letting you own the things you buy from them, I finally went ahead and scraped the drm off my kindle books. while it did require a bunch of setup, the process itself was pretty easy and less intimidating than I had feared, so I want to share some helpful tools I used if you want to do the same but aren't sure where to start:

An excellent step-by-step video guide

Calibre (the main program you will need)

The de-drm extension you'll want to add to Calibre

A guide to downgrading the kindle for pc app to a version that makes this easier

kinda funny how most programmers would prefer to not have to touch apple products with a ten-foot pole but if you talk to basically any designer over like 25 they'll swear up and down and backwards to friday that nothing could ever hold a candle to any apple product

Canonical height comparison of Goku, Vegeta, and Krillin.

And JUST Vegeta and Krillin.

And an estimate of Krillin and 18. 18's height is assumed given her being about as tall vs Bulma as Bulma is vs Chi-Chi, so a 2 cm difference.

If you want to do your own comparisons, be it for fanfic, fan art, or even just curiosity, you can find the comparison tool here.

And now, for one final comparison, I leave you with The Piccolos vs Adult Goku. Have fun, kids.

Hey, writing Tumblr!

Does anyone have experience/recommendations for writing apps like Scrivener or Bibisco that have a web application and/or an Android app? I'm thinking I'd like to get away from Google Docs in the new year (the AI/user suggested corrections are driving me up the wall) but I do a non-zero amount of my writing while I'm on the clock at work (ssh!) and I can't exactly download Scrivener to the front office computer.

(I mean I could because upper leadership has absolutely fucked off and left my branch to fend for itself, but that seems like asking for trouble 😂)

Please note: I am not asking about things that run on iOS, as I do not own any Apple products and don't intend to.

Thanks in advance!
