PSA to any nonhumans/otherkin/voidpunks who want a fang piercing to affirm themselves!!!
Do NOT do this:
This is a “smiley” piercing (a horseshoe bar through the frenulum); fang bars are NOT proper jewelry to wear in them! Their size and shape can increase the risk of gum recession and tooth chipping (and are at a higher risk of being torn out by mistake!), plus they’re difficult to live with when it comes to eating, drinking, and sleeping.
Do this instead:
These are vertical angel bites (AKA “angel fangs”), using a standard curved barbell with a spike on the bottom. They don’t extend into the oral cavity at all, which means your teeth won’t be damaged and there’s a lesser risk of injury. This piercing is also easier to live with so you can keep your fangs full-time (as long as the spikes you use aren’t TOO long, I’d recommend 3 to 4 mm).
Pls remember to affirm yourselves safely (especially with body modification), and only wear jewelry that’s meant to safely go in your piercing! 💕
(This is a safe space for MOGAI, otherkin, voidpunk, and nonhuman identities! Any offending or bigoted comments will be deleted and blocked. Please be respectful in the comments!!)

Love how tumblr has its own folk stories. Yeah the God of Arepo we’ve all heard the story and we all still cry about it. Yeah that one about the woman locked up for centuries finally getting free. That one about the witch who would marry anyone who could get her house key from her cat and it’s revealed she IS the cat after the narrator befriends the cat.
Cause I keep on hearing rumors that it is going to…
While I do attempt to keep my opinions off of this blog, I will answer this question.
I feel like yes, there is a high probability of KOSA passing. Especially with bills akin to those in Florida and Kansas being passed.
I personally am against KOSA. I need you all to realize that if this passes, my blog is being deleted. I am a minor, and my parents do not know about my social medias. Nor do they need to know.
However, we must realize that
A: KOSA has not left senate as of April 5th (senate will not return until the 8th)
B: Many bills are being produced to provide better solutions to the problem KOSA claims to solve
C: It has to pass every other step in the law making process
D: The bill will not be enforced until 18 months after it is instated.
I highly encourage you all to research and protest. Do not take rumors at face value. Research. Look up what is true. If we don't look into things, misinformation can be spread. We do not know anything for sure until it happens.

The vibes that I got from this are that I was forced into this situation and am now making it everyone’s problem!!
Gave myself some horns as a treat and some stubble bc I’m defiantly one of those queer coded anti-hero’s. Might also switch sides depending on who I wanna hang out with or if I’m bored. There are no rules in this game mwahahaha!!!

Library of Congress - historical posters and photos
NASA - you guessed it
Creative Commons - all kinds of stuff, homie
Even Adobe has some free images
There are so many ways to make moodboards, bookcovers, and icons without plagiarizing! As artists, authors, and other creatives, we need to be especially careful not to use someone else’s work and pass it off as our own.
Please add on if you know any more resources for free images <3
Oh look, just as fast and dirty as any other April 1st gag bit.
Matt, Staff, Automattic, etc, FIX YOUR HEARTS. And do some work on the real problem on here.
I miss the hair and stubble so much!! It looked so good on him I’m so sad it’s gone. However-I do headcanon that he got this buff from summers playing with Bumpy and Firecracker and a few other dinosaurs. I also wanna say they did a good job of making him the same dude, like if you look at his nose, eye shape and jaw line for Chaos Theory Ben it’s just a sharper version of the post time skip Ben (which I don’t remember how long ago that was but I wanna say maybe a few months? Or perhaps a year?).
But yea if you weee to edit this to have the same hair cut and stubble as he did before he would look a lot more similar to how we last saw him.
GUHHHH??? THAT IS NOT THE SAME PERSON WHAT ARE THEY FEEDING HIM???
i remember adults telling me, as a kid, to listen to doctors and get my flu vaccine and any shots i could because they remembered Before.
then they started fighting Covid precautions.
i remember adults telling me, as a kid, that the ozone was disappearing and the earth was dying and we needed to recycle and save the planet.
now my parents think climate change is a myth.
i remember adults telling me, as a kid, that racism was a plague, that we had to love and accept everyone, that we should never judge before walking a mile in their shoes.
then they told me that protesting for my Black siblings was wrong.
i remember adults telling me, as a kid, that we needed to give to the poor. working at soup kitchens. making quilts. collecting food and money and supplies. building houses. because it was the christian and just plain right thing to do.
now they look at me, on food stamps with their grandchildren, and lament the "welfare state".
i remember adults telling me, as a kid, that it was easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than a rich man to enter the Kingdom of Heaven and that any rich man, especially an immoral one, should never run our country.
you can guess who they voted for.
i remember adults telling me, as a kid, so very much.
