Hey! Sorry if this is weird. I'm not sure who else to ask. I read somewhere on twitter that Fang killed themself??? Is this true??? I've messaged them on here and on discord but it doesn't seem like they've been online at all and I'm worried 😶

hey! what the fuck 😀

no??? it's not even close to being true???? fang is very much so alive and well. exhibit a:

i fear this once again proves the unreliability of twt as a source of information

another homage to my favourite book scene ever

collecting poly ships across every fandom I join like trading cards. two people are not enough I need everyone holding hands and kissing and being gay.

Extra points if they’re all doomed by the narrative <3

i hate to be this person, but neither Lucanis' romance nor Bellara's are subpar or whatever some of you keep mindlessly repeating.

the man is just on ace spectrum, and his romance route reflects that. deal with it.

in case of Bellara, it's most likely her AuDHD impacting how her relationship with Rook develops. also fucking deal with it.

begging you guys to understand that because the routes are slower or don't have 100 kisses in between, it doesn't mean they are less developed. some people don't hop onto all that right away, some are not good at understanding certain queues, and that's fine and normal. maybe instead of raging and calling in fury for the writers, sit down and think what might be 'causing those characters to act the way they act first...

You have created such a profoundly miserable situation for grian my god. all his friends are trying to cure him but he is not even sick. he is just built this way. he can choose to torture or starve or die and he is so, so tired of torture and starvation. i can't stop thinking about the agony of trying to create another clever game or bit or prank all while hunger induced brain fog claws at the inside of your skull. Puts him in a pringles tube

man i cant wait for [TRAIN PASSES BY] so you guys can see what happens when [VERY LOUD FOGHORN] and how he ends up [ANOTHER TRAIN PASSES BY BUT THIS TIME IT CRASHES, KILLING ME INSTANTLY] 👍👍👍👍🙏🙏🙏🙏🥰🥰🥰🥰

i can't stop thinking about how excited this doofus was when he kneeled down to talk to sakura on the phone. look at him smiling and blushing and fidgeting. he is so clearly in love with her and it's maddening BECAUSE HE DOESN'T FUCKING REALIZE THAT HE IS.

the minds of a lab at three different points (LONG rambling under the cut)

I am constantly in awe of the analyses people put out about Arknights on this website. I feel like my own interpretations are somewhat lacking as a result, but I was confident enough to post this, at least. I've had this idea for a long time now, I think since Lone Trail released, but I've only been able to make the time for it now.

Rhine Lab has so many fucked up elements and people involved in it that it's actually impressive. They were really gunning for "most unethical scientific consortium" reward. Really, though, it's just the result of Kristen gunning for her parents' wishes. All of the directors want something and all of those somethings are different.

Things I want to mention or just feel proud of (allowing myself this because of how long this took):

-I was originally planning on crossing out Saria's surname to reflect that we still don't know what it is in canon, but I don't know why whoever has this poster would do that, so I just kept it in. Hermon refers to Mount Hermon, which Saria's name apparently derives from. Technically, her name here is the same thing twice. Oh well.

-I don't know who this poster belongs to. It's just in some Rhine Lab tech's personal desk, I guess? Doesn't explain the doodles, though. Maybe they were bored and feeling spiteful about the potential job insecurity of your boss being comatose in space.

-I realized only while making this post that I made Saria's, Muelsyse's, and Jara's doodles reference Kristen, yet Kristen's only references herself and her parents. Completely unintentional, but appropriate nonetheless.

-I am so happy with how the poster came out. It makes up for how hard I had to fight Canva for it to come out like that. Here it is in full if you want to look at it closely for whatever reason. (writing an actual description for this thing was fun!)

-Andenate doesn't actually have a face under the sticky note. That's why he's still Mike Wazowski'd in the poster png. I didn't feel like drawing one since it wouldn't be shown in the finished pieces anyway. His jacket is just the same as Magallan's.

-Ifrit's picture board was a literal last-minute addition. It's why the images are sketches rather than being in the lineless style of the poster. It feels fitting, though, so I'm keeping it that way. Seeing Ifrit all grown up and doing so well in Lone Trail was wonderful. There's something in her being happy and healthy and also surrounded by not just her loved ones and friends from Rhine Lab, but also people outside of it. She's cultivated her life to be as fulfilling as she wants it to be, and while there is still room to grow, she has plenty of support and insight from others for it to do so. I may be misrepresenting her a bit (the sleepiness doesn't help), but man. I love Ifrit. She's so cool.

me on my way to write another COMPLETELY self indulgent fanfiction about the insane situationship i created for my blorbo (both because i think it could add a lot to his character and the characterization i completely made up for him and also because i literally just can) that will probably never see the light of day because i don’t know if people actually want to read this stupid ass shit but also im in a weird era rn where im perfectly aware i am cringe but have so much other shit going on that i simply don’t care so who knows maybe i will post it

[buwheal]

Man although I can't send this and have Spamton see the image (cuz it would be text instead) I'll send it to you and you can give me your opinion about it.

What do you think...

A cousin of that false quote/misquote phenomenon is deliberate misattribution for political reasons, my favorite example of which is how 1000000000 American products, websites, corporate materials, etc. say "Women hold up half the sky - [Ancient] Chinese Proverb" due to a potent combination of Orientalism and "nobody will own up to quoting Mao" lmfao
