If you get tagged here, here's a few messages from the person who tagged you:
You are one of the coolest people I know, if not THE coolest ever. I may not have known you for long, but it feels like my whole life, and I don't know what I would do without you. If I haven't met you my life would be fundamentally different. You may have changed, but I've changed with you, and I think we've both grown a lot, and for the better.
I love seeing you create stuff! Be it art, writing, headcannons, or something you DIY-ed, I know that any time you make something it's bound to be good. Every project you start is always very exciting, even if you don't finish it! Watching you create is always very fun.
I know you have bad days, we all do. Don't hesitate to talk to me if you need to. I'm always here, I'll always listen, and I'll always do my best to try to understand and help. Know that you'll always be loved and appreciated!
Here's to our friendship continuing to grow even more in the years to come!
(ps. don't feel pressured to tag anyone back! This is just to let you know that you're loved and appreciated. And if you were planning on tagging someone, but see that they've already been tagged, don't worry! This will be a message from you to them. Tag them!)
The concept being Listeners act like puppets being controlled by watchers, and in order to create a Listener you have to use the body of a player (It's much easier to use a corpse as they cant fight back). Through a Listener, Watchers can easily infuriate servers, scout for interesting ones, and to find people they could ‘use’. The Watchers happen to find Evo without using a Listener and it was a great find for them. Especially after Tartuis and Pearl joined. They could use nearly every player!
Grian (Watcher)
Taurtis (Watcher)
Pearl (Watcher)
Zee (Watcher)
Martin (Listener)
Jimmy (Listener)
Big B (Listener)
Mini Muka (Listener)
Jimmy was kidnapped after Grian, Pearl, Salem, Martin, and Tartuis went missing.(Tartuis was the first one missing then everything went downhill) Jimmy got tortured for weeks slowly becoming a vessel for the Watchers to do what they wanted. (He was sort of carved up and stitched back together so he didn’t die immediately, giving him a stitched together sort of appearance.) In the process he watched them kill Salem Lady because she wasn't useful.
After weeks of constant abuse there was a breaking point.
Grian and Pearl finally manage to escape. Pearl is having extreme memory issues and Grian is in pretty bad physical pain. In the process Grian found Jimmy's body. Pearl had to drag him away before they were caught again (she doesn't remember Jimmy but she does remember his corpse and the way Grian clung to him).
After they escape, Jimmy is turned into a Listener and is used to infatuated servers. At one point he makes his way to the Season 2 Empires server. Everything is basically the same and then the Hermit cross over happens. The moment Grian sees the sheriff all his alarm bells go off, Pearl is the same way. The empire server gets told about Jimmy (Grian and Pearl have such a fun time with that) and there's a huge panic to get off the server before Jimmy the Watchers find out they know.
Now the Empires have to deal with the fact they never met Jimmy, only have met his puppeteer-ed corpse. Grian and Pearl now have to deal with the fact that one of their best friends' dead body is being controlled by the very people who killed him to do who knows how much harm.
Now, I know I'm old, so Friends isn't a big thing for many younger Tumblr users, but this KP edit with this audio is a WORK OF ART, and I will hear no different!! User is (at)_bored_for_fun_ on tiktok, they don't have a Tumblr (I asked) and they gave me permission to share this here.
the angel staying over at my house asked for a nightlight in their room and i told them buddy, don't you produce your own light? what're you gonna do with more? and they said they wanted to see why people like it so much. and also that the nightlight i own is blue and they've been trying to understand color. anyways i think they've stared at it for an hour now
My family is still staying in half of the church that wasn’t affected by the bombing because there is nowhere else to stay other than tents. They are limited to one small meal a day and one shower a week. They are sleeping on the floors, but no one can sleep since there is bombing everywhere around them. Even when there is no bombing, they can still hear the loud buzzing sound of the military planes above them, which would keep anyone who hears it awake. Along with everything, My grandma has diabetes and osteoporosis, so she can’t walk. She has to take her insulin medication along with many others; however, she has run out of many of her medications.” Am on my knees requesting for donation. Target $450
I unfortunately can't donate, but please donate if you can!
Hey, I draw and would like to draw physically different people because they're beautiful too!
If you'd like me to draw someone with a physical difference(eg. Limb differences, craniofacial differences or just different in in general) or you, please send me an ask and detail what you'd like me to draw. Feel free to include a mobility aid if you'd like.
[A sad violin song plays over an image of a sad hamster]
Pac: This doesn't have anything to do with me – I wear a blue sweatshirt, you're crazy, this mouse doesn't even have a sweatshirt, this hamster! [Reading chat] Am I a depressed hamster?
[ Transcript continued ↓ ]*
–
Pac: Actually– that's fine! I embrace that idea – of course I'm going to be depressed, are you crazy? [He hits his desk, then starts counting off people on his fingers] Fit is gone, Richarlyson is gone, Ramon is gone, Bagi and Empanada who were always there when we were there are also gone, I haven't seen them! It's just me and Tubbo, and sometimes Philza shows up.
Pac: I lost Chume Labs, I lost the Favela, I lost Murder Mystery, I lost Ilha Chume Labs, it's crazy! Look at how much I've lost, and I've gained nothing! Of course I'm going to be depressed, are you crazy?! How am I supposed to be happy?!
Pac: [Reading chat] "You have us Pac," that's true, thank you. No, that's true, sorry.

can i just say. and this is probably a niche hill to die on. that i am so gobsmacked every time someone vaguely hints at the idea that jotaro doesn't care meaningfully for the other crusaders, usually particularly kakyoin and joseph, when those two actually tend to be the ones he reacts to being hurt the hardest
like he cares for his loved ones!!!! that literally plays into his character motives in every single part he shows up in!!! stop lying to me!!!!!!!
THAT DAMNED BSTRD! (I love themmmmmmm,,, uuuauuhhg)
(other stuff + sketches under cut)
SOOOOO SORRY followers for just kinda uh... disappearing of the face of the earth. OOPS!!
So you see I found this COOL AS HELL GAME! FOR FREE! ON THE BROWSER!??!!!?
That everyone here should TOTALLY PLAY RIGHT NOW!!!!
Go Play... Corru... Observer.... -> pllllleeeeease
You are in for a HELL of a ride lemme tell you. It 100% consumed my brain the minute I started playing mostly cuz of how blown away I was with everything. The writing? Incredible. Music and sound design? Realllllly good, been listening to the ost on repeat. The visuals? Beyond interesting and super super cool. Mechanics and interactions? REALLY REALLY UNIQUE! Ouuugh
Here, take my nonsense sketches as propaganda for this...
Stares at you.... you should play Corru Observer
oooouuh i could talk about this game for hours on end.
I feel like a lot of people, and this is really more for Usamericans than those from other countries who don't have any exposure to the internal affairs of this particular nightmare country, truly do not grasp the scale and significance of the problems and horrors here?
Literacy will be mentioned and downplayed, but a full 20% of people living here are illiterate to a degree where they cannot interact with even basic writing. That's one in five people, or almost the population of the entirety of the United Kingdom. And that's only the population that either cannot read any words at all or cannot parse sentences, an equally large amount of people can only read at a very basic level, and can't interpret and extrapolate information from text that's not direct. This is not some cry about media literacy, this is about basic functioning in society and how many are left behind from a society that increasingly isolates and diminishes them.
Manufacturing will be mentioned, and the thought most will have is that American production has been gutted and outsourced (usually leading to hostility to places like China or Vietnam), which has some truth but much of American industry has been transfered from "free" workers to prison slave labor, with some states not paying prisoners forced to work at all and the most ""generous"" states paying them a seventh of the already laughable federal minimum wage, and with the government actually subsidizing this by giving corporations a $2400 tax credit per prisoner they "employ"
Prison will be mentioned but the sheer inhumanity and brutality will never be grasped even when people recognize elements of it (usually for what passes as comedy) the totality of it will never register. One out of five of all people incarcerated on Earth are in prison in America, subjected to conditions which regularly and frequently kill them or break them, and there's not even a consistent reporting measure for people who die in prison or jail, to say nothing of the police killings which dwarf the amount of people executed by the state, which has even less of a standard for reporting. One county was simply burying the people they killed in unmarked graves nearby and never reporting it or recording it, only being discovered after years almost on accident.
Homelessness is rampant but the numbers and methods for assessing the size of the unhomed population are pitiful at best and laughable at worst, regularly undercounting and diminishing the severity because those who are homeless are barely considered people to not just the government but in the perception imposed by society.
And none of that is touching on the scale of the imperial war machine which ravages the rest of the world, how there's no way to even know how many bases the US even has, how many people it kills, how many wars it fights, who it even supports. None of us touching on the non-military methods of support and control the US provides to its proxies and cronies who prop up its hegemony.
The scale of it all is just mind breaking and I have seen excellent writing and interrogation of parts but I don't feel like the overall picture is ever even glimpsed.
I took upon myself the herculean task of compiling all Dick and Diana interactions.

Some honorary mentions:
These two ones where Diana doesn't interact with Dick one-on-one and is only a part of a larger group, but it's still a good way to show that she respects and trusts him as a leader.
The Brave and The Bold (2007) #15
Justice League: Generation Lost #1
This one where Dick isn't here but Diana shows appreciation for his skills and is very quick to accept that Nightwing should be honored by being in the League (also this isn't about him but I love Clark's "finally, someone easy." That's a proud uncle y'all).
Justice League of America (2006) #2
This one where Diana isn't here but she lets Dick use her Lasso, I think that counts.
Batman/Superman: World's Finest #17
This one where Diana gifted Dick the fastest horse in the world, apparently.
Justice League (2018) #53

And then—
Then...
Yeah. That's about it. It's an unfortunately short list. But what little we do have shows that they have a bond of mutual trust and respect for each other. It's very interesting and I wish they explored it more.
