i dont consider myself a 'fashion guru' by any means but one thing i will say is guys you dont need to know the specific brand an item you like is - you need to know what the item is called. very rarely does a brand matter, but knowing that pair of pants is called 'cargo' vs 'boot cut' or the names of dress styles is going to help you find clothes you like WAAAYYYY faster than brand shopping

Apparently a part of the reason why farmed bees stay in the beehives that humans build for them is because the farm hives are safer and sturdier. I don't know how a busy Discord server's worth of bugs that only have one brain cell each would logically conclude that the humans protect them from outside threats, illness and parasites, but if I understood right, the bees would be free to move away and build a new nest somewhere else any time they'd want, and they simply choose not to.

You know how in almost every culture, people have some concept of "if I sacrifice something that I made/grew/produced to the Gods, they will ward me and my harvest from evil"?

So, in a way, don't the bees willingly sacrifice a part of their harvest to an entity not only far greater than them, but nearly beyond their comprehension, in exchange for protection against natural forces wildly outside of their own control?

So tell me, beekeepers, what are you to your bees, if not a mildly eldritch God?

Help!

My mom thinks I'm spending too much time using my phone and reading, and not studying. How she expects me to study when my school is a joke and the world is crumbling, I don't know, but that is a whole other post.

She also found out that I use Tumblr, and she's furious. I'm literally not allowed to be on any social media platform, so she wants me to delete my Tumblr now.

Anyway, after many hours of lectures and yelling and tears, and explaining what exactly Tumblr is, she's decided that if this post gets

10,000 notes I get to keep my phone

20,000 notes I get to keep my phone AND my Tumblr

30,000 notes I get to keep my phone and Tumblr, and I also get as many books as I want

She's doing this cause she thinks Tumblr is useless and that I'll never get enough notes, so help please! I know this is near impossible.

I have until September 28th, 2020.

Resources For Writing Deaf, Mute, or Blind Characters

Despite the fact that I am not deaf, mute, or blind myself, one of the most common questions I receive is how to portray characters with these disabilities in fiction.

As such, I’ve compiled the resources I’ve accumulated (from real life deaf, mute, or blind people) into a handy masterlist.

Human Collectibles

(Gus x Matt)

Commission for @victoryfroststarlight

Gus sighs softly as he sits with Willow and Luz.  Once again, he was pining over Mattholomule who was sitting close by, his nose in a book about human items.  Luz and Willow continuously try to get him to talk to Matt, but Gus refuses.  Although its been years, He wasn’t to sure on where they stood after the whole battle for presidency of H.A.S. went down.  Gus has since then not only rejoined, but has reclaimed his presidency position.  Matt apologized, but it was hard to tell if it was sincere or not.  However, that didn’t stop Gus from forming feelings.

“I wonder which item human collectible is on?”  Gus gives out a breathy sigh as Luz and Willow give each other that look.  Human collectible, Gus’ code word for Matt.  It was a full proof code, with Gus’ obsession with humans and all.  “I want to know so bad, think i could get a glance as I walk by?”

“Probably,” Willow says before sipping on her drink, “or you could just go over and ask which page he’s on.” Both her and Luz giggle once Gus starts to get flustered and coming up with so many excuses as to why he couldn’t just do that.  They tease him for a little bit before easing up. Before anyone could say anything else Matt gets up from his table and heads for the the library. Gus just stares softly at him as he goes and Luz’s eyes go wide.

“Ooooo maybe you should follow him, I mean it’s not like it’s weird for you to be in there. If he’s going to the human section, maybe you guys will reach for the same book and dramatically brush hands.” Luz says as she does dramatic poses. Gus blushes even more as he hides in his hands, but soon he is raised up by the arms by Liz and Willow who begin to drag him to the library.

“Now don’t come out until either you’ve talked to him or next class starts.” Willow says as they put him inside the library. Gus’ little heart is pounding so hard as he turns to face the library. He can’t do this, what if Matt still hates his guts? He wouldn’t be able to survive the humiliation or the heartbreak. With a heavy sigh he goes over to the human section and begins to scan for any new material, but instead he sees Matt putting away the book he was just reading. Gus freezes for a moment before trying to hide. Oh he was in a pickle. What was he possibly going to do? A plan, he needed a plan.

“Uh Gus?” Gus gives a small help before looking up to see Matt looking down at him. Gus’ cheeks darken as he tries to speak but can’t find the words. “What are you doing?” Matt asks with a hard to read expression.

“Nothing!” He proclaims while suddenly standing up and hitting his head on the shelf. “Hehe, absolutely nothing. Why you need a some help on uh Human items?” Gus said with a semi cracking voice.

“Actually Yea, I’m trying to find a specific one.” Gus smiles but does his best not to look Matt in the eyes.

“Of course, what is it? I can probably tell you anything you want to know about it.” Gus had that overly confident look on his face before turning to Matt. Fake it until you make it.

“Oh great,” He looks down at his books before looking back at Gus. “I’m looking for the book that contains human collectibles in it, but I’m having trouble finding it. I’ve heard you mention it before, and the way you go on about makes it sound really amazing...” Matt continues to talk, but Gus tunes him out. Matt’s heard him talk passionately about human collectibles, his code word for Matt. Oh this was bad, so, so bad. “Or you know you could just tell me about the- Gus, are you listening?” Matt waves his hand in front of Gus face and Gus snaps out of it.

“Huh? Oh uh, I mean if you want to learn more about human things, I’d uh be more then happy to uh tell you everything I know.” His face must be a whole shade darker with how hard he’s blushing. “

“That’d be awesome. Uh we can hang out after school some time if you’d like.” Gus smiles brightly and nods as they make plans. “Cool, see you after school.” Matt waves to him as he takes off from the

Gus has to practically stop mid whoop after Matt leaves when he’s shushed by the people in the library. He apologizes softly before leaving and telling Luz and Willow the good news.

Months had gone by, and Matt and Gus met after school on the same day every week. Gus still got very flustered, but he genuinely enjoyed getting to know Matt more. He was funny, and pleasant to be around. They even made better amends for the whole battle of presidency thing. On one of these days, Matt was unusually quiet when Gus arrived.

“Hey man, what’s wrong?” Gus says with a concern as he sits down across from him. Matt forces a smiles and just shakes his head.

“Ah just thinking, what sort of tidbits do you have today.” Gus wasn’t convinced and kept pressing. “Alright, alright.” Matt laughs out as he shakes his head. “Well you’ve taught me a lot about Human stuff, but I’m really curious about the one you always talk about.”

“I don’t follow.” Gus says confused. “You’re gonna have to specify.” Matt blushes a bit, though that could be Gus’ imagination.

“You know, the one you always go on and on about. The human collectibles?” Gus freezes for a moment. “I mean I can understand you calling them that to Willow, but Luz would know what you’re talking about.” Gus looks at Matt again, and this time he’s sure Matt was blushing. “I just, the only real reason I got interested was because you talked about it so much.” The influction on the word you made Gus blush even more.

“I-uh-“ Gus wasn’t ready for this to end, he wasn’t ready to confess. “I- I COMPLETELT FORGOT THAT I PROMISED LUZ AND WILLOW THAT ID- uh HELP THEM WITH THEIR HOMEWORK! Yea, yea I’m such ditz, we can uh catch up tomorrow or next week right?” Gus begins to stand up but Matt immediately catches his wrist.

“No you didn’t, I know for a fact both Willow and Luz have separate plans today.” Matt frowns when Gus looks down at him. “Just- I want to know, but I guess you don’t have to tell me...” Matt whispers something under his breath, and even as Gus sat back down, he kept a hold of his wrist. “I thought we were getting along, do- do you still not trust me?”

“Wh-What? No th-thats not it at all!” Gus says as he claps his other hand over his. “I’m just-“ he groans as he looks down.

“You just what Gus?” Matt says with a saddened tone.

“I just don’t want to... ruin this.” Gus takes a chance and looks up at Matt to see him look surprised. “I really enjoy spending time with you and- Ahh I stink at this.” Matt blushes before putting his other hand on Gus’

“The only way you could ruin this, is by saying befriending me was all a joke.” Gus looks at him and Matt has the softest look on his face. “So you know, I think we’re on the same page now.” He looks away embarrassed but makes no attempt to let go.

“Yea... I think we are.” Gus says with a happy smile. They both laugh for a moment, as the continue to hold hands. Gus then tells Matt that he had used Human collectibles as a code name for him. Matt laughs and shakes his head as he explains he was fully convinced it was actual human items he was talking about.

“So uh, guess I’ll see you at school.” Matt nods happily as he looks at Gus. Gus takes a deep breath before going in to kiss Matt’s cheek, but unknown to Gus was that Matt was doing the same thing, and they ended up kissing on the lips. They blush like crazy and then laugh together as they keep holding hands.

Commissions are open!

I’m in a really tough spot right now, and I’d appreciate if I had some commissions to do!

I’m more then willing to write about most fandoms as well as basic topics.

Though there are things I refuse to do such as:

Pedophilia

Incest

Abuse

Transphobia

Homophobia

Acephobia

Racist

If those things happen to the character or you want them to have happened then I can do that, but I won’t do it as a happy ending or make it positive in anyway.

Bestiality

I like writing monster love stories, but there’s a huge difference between a werewolf and an actual dog. Also being animalistic isn’t included in this as it will only be attached to a creature or person and not an animal.

You can always send me asks that I can answer either privately or publicly about anything fandom related as I don’t want to make this post too long.

Now onto prices, this is where asking and dm’s come into play heavily.

Base price: $5.00 for 10-20 paragraphs

Add ons:

A topic or fandom I know little to nothing about- $1.00-$2.00

NSFW- $1.00-$3.00

Crossover- $2.00

Every paragraph(50 words or more) after 20- $1.00

If there is something you’d like but aren’t sure where it would fit into the categories I’ve mentioned please ask or message me. I can’t think of everything someone might want for a story. Upon those asks or dms I will update this post. Also reblogged would be appreciated, even if you don’t want to commission, one of your followers might.

[how-do-i-write-plz]

“reblogs aren’t important you’re just whiny”

yeah because when you see this

tell me you don’t get annoyed.

tumblr’s algorithm only cares about posts that are reblogged, it doesn’t count likes. posts don’t get promoted or circulated when they only have likes (the way instagram functions), only reblogs matter for increasing reach on tumblr as a platform.

support content creators.

Trans! Tim Drake

Commission for @prygelknabe

This was so much fun to write! (be sure to read the notes at the end!)

With a heavy sigh, Tim plops down onto his bed with the Robin suit in his hands. He stretches it above is head and furrows his brow in confusion.  Before now, things didn’t feel this... complicated.  He was so sure of himself and his want to be the next boy wonder.  He was so excited, but once the costume was actually on he felt so uncomfortable. 

He of course blamed the suits tightness, but hearing how that woman referred to him as the boy wonder made him feel so conflicted.  Perhaps it was the pressure of living in Dick and Jason’s shadows?  There’s so much to live up to, was he truly ready?  His head rushed with so many scenarios of what made him so uncomfortable. Now his head was pounding and with frustrated grunt, he threw the costume away from him as he turned over and hid into the pilloiw he was clutching onto.

“Ok geez I’ll come back later.”  A joking voice came from the doorway.  Tim felt a course of fear, thinking for a moment that it was Bruce, but it was Dick.  The joking look he had on his face softened into concern when he saw how upset Tim looked.  He sits on the bed as Tim desperately tries to dry his tears.

“I-I didn’t know you were coming today?” The corner of his eyes felt raw as he kept wiping away the leaks from his eyes. 

“It was a surprise visit, wanted to see how your first real mission as Robin went.  From the looks of it not so good huh?”  Tim looks at him with surprise and shakes his head causing Dick to look confused.

“No, no the mission went surprisingly well.  This,” he gestures to himself and the suit, “is nothing.  I’ll be fine.” He forced a smile, but Dick didn’t look convinced.

“It’s not nothing if it’s making you this upset.  I know Bruce has this whole thing about emotions when in uniform, but right now you’re Tim not Robin.”  He puts a hand on his shoulder and gives him a reassuring smile.  After a few moments of contemplating, Tim broke down and told Dick everything; how he felt about the costume, his worries of not living up to the expectations of being Robin, and how he’s disappointed since he’s dreamed of this for so long.  Dick listens carefully, letting Tim get everything out of his system before offering his advice.

“Are you sure that’s the issue?”  Tim looks even more confused.  “From what you said, this all stems from being called the boy wonder.” Tim stiffens at the name, unaware of how much until he relaxes. “So is it the stigma behind the name, or the name itself?” Tim’s brow furrow’s with frustration.

“I-I don’t know!” He covers his mouth suddenly; he didn’t mean to yell.  “I’m sorry I just-  I don’t know what im feeling and its- its so hard.”  The tears blur his vision as he holds himself, but immediately melts into the hug Dick gives him.  He sniffles softly as his lip trembles.  “I love being Robin, it’s something I've always wanted to be...” he tries to wipe the tears from his eyes, but fresh tears immediately form, keeping his vision blurry. 

The two sit in silence for what felt like hours.  Dick wanted to help, but was drawing a few blanks.  He rubs Tims back softly just waiting for him to calm down.

“Do-” Dick freezes a moment, unsure if he should say anything, but if he doesn’t mention it how could they cross it off the list. “Do you think that you’re having issues with being the /boy/ wonder?”  Tim tenses, especially they way Dick says boy.  “It’s possible that being a boy makes you uncomfortable, not being Robin.  Fresh tears fall.

“I- I don’t know...” 

“We can try using different pronouns.  Maybe start with they/them and then try she/her if you want.”  When dick receives a small nod he smiles.  “We can also just call you Robin.  It’s a pretty gender neutral name. “I’m sure Bruce can have a new outfit made for you.”

“I don’t want Bruce to know!” There was fear in their eyes. “N-not until im sure y- y’know?” Dick offers a smile before ruffling their hair. 

“Bruce doesnt have to know until you’re ready Robin.”  They felt themselves calm down the moment they are referred to as Robin.  It felt better then Tim.

“Thank you Dick.” They hug him tight before laying down, now physically and emotionally drained.  Dick offers a smile before leaving them to rest.  It’d be hard to hide from Bruce, but luckily Bruce knows better than to bombard Robin with questions or accusations.

Over the course of two months, Dick varies the pronouns for Robin.  At first he starts using they/them. Robin visibly seemed happier with this change. When dick began using she/her though, Robin told him that they liked they/them better. 

 The costume hadn’t changed though, Robin was afraid of Bruce finding out too soon.  Dick decided that when he could, he would deter the crowd from using he/him pronouns.  For the most part, the crowd went with it.  They claimed to see that Robin had long hair or that its too dark to really see. It made Robin feel better.

Robin sits by themselves, enjoying the clear night sky.  They’d be lying if they said they weren’t skeptical at first.  They never even considered themselves non-binary, but they do admit it feels nice. Only Dick knew about this, but having one person was better then nothing.  They continue to think about who else they could trust with this information.

“You need to tell him, or at least tell him that you want the costume changed.  Your comfort is important.”  Dick says as he catches Robin sitting outside by themselves. Robin jumps slightly, not hearing him as they were lost in thought.

“I- I know...”  They sigh softly before coming through their hair.  “I’m just scared... what if-”  They shake their head before covering their eyes. “What if he kicks me out?”  It took a lot to surprise Dick, he never even considered that being Bruce’s reaction.  “I mean, I just hear all of these horror stories of kids getting kicked out and it makes me worried.  It’s so hard to tell what he’s thinking sometimes...”

Before Dick could say anything, Bruce walks past him.  He was definitely too quiet.  Robin freezes when they see Bruce and begin to panic.  What was he going to say; is he angry?  Not knowing almost brought Robin to tears, but they couldn’t cry.  When Bruce was close enough, he stares down at Robin.  He opens his mouth to speak, but closes it quicky.  That did it, and Robin couldn’t stop the tears from falling.

With wide eyes, Bruce kneels down before pulling Robin into a tight hug.  Dick smiles at the sight while Robin looks up at the sky, the stars looking streaky and blurred from their tears.  Bruce whispers softly, so softly they almost can’t hear it at first.

“I should have never made you think you couldn’t come to me.  I’m sorry.”  Robin’s eyes widen before hugging Bruce back and burying their face in his shoulder.  Relief courses through them and the worry washes away. This was their home, and they were loved.

(A/N:  ok i just don’t want anyone getting mad at me for using he/him pronouns in the begining. My idea was to start using they/them pronouns when they realized they were in fact nonbinary. I’ve talked with the commissioner and they are fine with it)
