I just finished the first fic in an 8 part series and went to scroll through the comments, as one does. First comment asks if the author plans on writing a sequel

Author says no

The seven subsequent installments and 65k additional words would like to beg to differ

[ID: a mock caution sign. The illustration, done in bold black, shows a set of hyper mobile hands stretching the thumb to reach their forearm, and lightning bolts float above the writ. The text on the sign reads “Warning Just because you can bend that way doesn’t mean you should.” /end ID]

Happy EDS awareness month.

#so while I may not be able to do the wrist thing #My doc sure made a funny face when I told her that I could turn a foot 180° backwards and plant it on the floor while standing :D #both feet btw just not at the same time #yeah I was then told to never do that again #I don't have EDS but I do sure have Something Fucky™ with my joints #reblob #tag chatter

STOP this is the feminism checkpoint. you have to comment something you like about a flawed female character. or explode

#Twitch Malto is SO CUTE and i adore her mannerisms <3333 Every second she's on screen is a delight #also a big big fan of her intensely loyal and affectionate nature bc those are admirable traits however #her problem w always putting her family first and struggling with figuring out where her wants begin is vv resonant #that's my girl <333333 #transformers fans who don't like Twitch I don't like u /silly #(ik it's not that deep and different characters speak to different people etc etc but she's my girl you gotta understand)#reblog game #reblog bait

Do me a favour and reblog this with a show you like that was cancelled after only one season. I don't mean shows that were always meant to be miniseries or shows that work perfectly well as a standalone story, or shows that might still get renewed. I mean shows that are and will forever remain unfinished. The more obscure the better.

#OKAY SO THIS IS SO EXTREMELY MEGA OBSCURE THESE DAYS BUT.#The skechers shoe mascots (yes you read that correctly) Z-strap Elastica and Kewl Breeze got a superhero cartoon called Zevo-3 #Unironically it's REALLY GOOD. I am so for serious #The fact that it never got a second season to explore the myth arc it was setting up makes me SO SAD #I got an IRL friend to watch it and they agreed it was actually really engaging #I regularly forget the name of the show but I have the story on LOCK #Beloved childhood cartoon that the people making put WAY MORE EFFORT INTO than was reasonably necessary #Okay okay for a more respectable answer: Land of the Lustrous #YEAH I KNOW THE MANGA EXISTS. BUT I WANT THE REALLY PRETTY ANIMATION TOO #the way the show handled gems and light refraction is SO pretty #reblob #Tag chatter #Reblog game

Sometimes reading a fic makes you feel the emotional equivalent of a keyboard smash and other times reading a fic makes you explain the romantic-era concept of the sublime to an author so your comment saying their fic made you experience the sublime makes sense

#for the record these are both positive feelings just in RADICALLY DIFFERENT ways #yeah just read a short story that made me experience all-consuming awe and reverence at the magesty/scale of an idea.#it was fanfiction about alien robots that transform into cars. anyways.#idea speaks #idea original post #fic talk #anyways The Sublime is a useful concept to explain a very specific sensation #go experience the sublime sometime and feel part of your soul realign. it's good for you

Turning off anon asks for a little while due to spam + I am not horribly active online atm anyways, anons will come back once I'm fully back, so give it like 3ish weeks, probably. The inbox is still open to non-anon asks as always^^

thinking about making a comic. about a transgender robot

#Which direction? Haven't decided yet #At this stage of development transfem transmasc and transneutral actually all make equal sense with the backstory I have in mind #Transmasc/transneutral would be the most literal while transfem would be more metaphorical/heavily implied #Bc Amelie is frequently given/denied recognition as a girl depending on who is talking and how they feel in the moment #So being called a girl could be affirming (if transfem) or dysphoric (transmasc/neutral)#And neutral address could be malicious degendering (transfem/masc) or affirming (transneutral)#Again haven't decided yet #No matter what though the story is about taking personal autonomy from those who want to deny it from you #Amelie aingel #Oc tag #Also no matter what gender Amelie ends up as their name will always be Amelie bc they picked out that name for themself #idea speaks #idea original post #Tag chatter

okay so if you need more veggies/fruit, protein or fibre (bc most people do NOT eat enough) in your diet but you struggle to do so, hear me out:

look up recipes (especially snack recipes) that are child/toddler/baby-friendly

i can guarantee there is a woman with a cooking blog out there who has found away to pack a bunch of vegetables into a surprisingly delicious little snack for her kids. this process has never failed me when i feel like i am not eating enough fruits and veggies. my entire flat is eating spinach muffins at the moment, which doesn’t sounding particularly appealing to most people and yet somehow. they’re delicious.

took the exam. yayyyyyy

Didn't actually FINISH in time but that's neither here nor there. I guestimated the numbers and I most likely pass even under quite unfavorable assumptions so there's that.

at this point whatever happens happens so at least my stomach is done hurting bc it's out of my hands now

Stress needs to stop manifesting as physical symptoms actually. Having a stomach ache will in fact not make it easier to study for the exam in an hour

#I almost definitely passed but I almost definitely did not pass WELL #You know it's probably a good thing that I messed up my 4.0 literally my first semester #Bc now its something I don't need to worry about. It ain't gonna happen so why panic #I have the emotional constitution of a coral so there's no avoiding big stress but panic? Not as much as I would otherwise!#This is easily the hardest class I've ever taken so I am trying to have grace with myself over DEFINITELY not getting out of here with an A #Idea's tales from academia

so funny out in the wilds of ao3 and seeing someone tag their fluff piece as "plot what plot" bc there's no major drama and Oh honeybunch, that is Not what that tag means

#I'm endeared by it #I will inevitably make similar humourous fuckups in the future and I hope whoever points em out to me has the kindness to find me endearing #Idea speaks #Idea original post #Fic talk

i made a character sheet. free to use as you wish, feel free to change whatever you want XD open source ass thing. spent all of ~maybe an hour on it.

Credit: the text in the insert-image box comes from this video, and the text for the top three lines (intense, complex, fruity) comes from this post. The actual image was made with the free NBOS character sheet creator, which is a sort of dated but free and solid text-layout sheet maker intended for ttrpg style character sheet creation.

Forced Proximity Dialogue Prompts

Haven't done one of these in a while.

"Come on, this isn't funny." "I'm not joking. It's locked."

"Is that the only tent we have?"

"There's only one bed." "Well, darlin', I'm not sleeping on the floor, so I guess we'll have to share."

"I'm your bodyguard. It's in the job description to protect you at all times." "Well, could you at least 'protect' me from over there?"

"You have got to be kidding me. I have to share a room with you."

"What do you mean there's only one sleeping bag? You had one job."

"Quit following me!" "I was hired to follow you, princess, better get used to it."

"What the hell is that noise?" "Uh, yeah, slight problem. We're out of gas."

"Where are you going? We're in the middle of nowhere!" "Yeah! And whose fault is that?"

"Look around, love. In case you hadn't noticed we're snowed in. So unless you plan to freeze to death, we'll have to find a way to keep each other warm."

"I may be stuck with you, but I don't have to like it."

"Is now a bad time to tell you I'm claustrophobic?"

"Your heart's racing. Now, I know being pressed up against me is exhilerating and all, but I'm trying to concentrate on picking this lock."

"What are you? Afraid?"

"Uh. Slight problem. We're trapped."

"Well, which way, smartass?" "Uh. We might be lost."

#starscream and prowl in my theoretical fan continuity #they are not having a great time + they're getting shot at + they're lugging around a THOROUGHLY unconscious Skywarp who is no help at all #this may be serious and dramatic for the characters but I need you know know that it's also extremely goofy #prowl is have a morality crisis after having several assumed truths shattered one after the other and he's left metaphorically unmoored #starscream is deep in survival mode and is desperately trying to get the one person in his life he still cares about (skywarp) to safety #and skywarp is ragdoll dead weight plus prowl and star are yelling at each other/the situation for forcibly linking them to THAT TOOL??!?#like it's drama. but also lowkey yakety sax is playing in the background you feel me #tag chatter #reblob #the half of a tf fan continuity that exists in my brain #blorbo tag #edit: oh and it does not get better once skywarp is conscious btw!#they're not being shot at anymore but now there's a new enemy: skywarp and his unfettered dedication to being annoying <3 #prowl and star now have a common goal: getting skywarp to stfu #prowl so he doesn't have to think hard about his enemies having personal lives and star bc warp is saying EMBARRASSING THINGS about him
