#all things in moderation

WEDNESDAY'S WEEKLY POETRY PROMPTS: 8/14/24 ~ ALL THINGS IN MODERATION (INCLUDING MODERATION)

ALL THINGS IN MODERATION (INCLUDING MODERATION) © 2024 - G. Smith (BMI) =================== Going pub-crawling, bar hopping, And with a designated driver we don’t plan on stopping, Till the last bell’s ringin’, And we’ll all be singin’,

Karaoke till they throw us out, Sit in front of the house-band and give ‘em a shout, We’ll be heavy tippers, No fruity drink sippers.

The waitresses will see us coming, Pouring Red Stripe and Coke and Cruzan Rum and, We won’t mind thinkin’, Too busy drinkin’.

All things in moderation, Including moderation, I’ll do some hangover meditation, When I wake up in the morning. But tonight’s the night to paint the town red, Tomorrow’s another day’s pounding head, It’s been a long, long week, I need this medication, So take this as a warning;

Going pub-crawling, bar hopping, And with an Uber lined up we don’t plan on stopping, Till the last song’s sung, And the last bell’s rung; And we’ve had our fun; It’ll be a heck-of-a-run!

the sad part is, I was never taught how to take care of myself, only other people. the fact that I'm still alive is a miracle.

sometimes I think abt how the months coming up to and the prom night in freshman year must feel to class swap sklonda. your perfect kid who has literally never gotten a single reprimand for anything does what can only be described as a quad crit crime combo and becomes a nerd punisher by the end of the night

Change is incremental, but something CHANGED today. You weren’t sure about voting for Biden? You don’t have to anymore! And now is the time to RALLY. The world is fucked up, but letting Trump win will not lead to the political revolution we’re waiting for. Wake up.

Im gonna vote for Kamala Harris in November because I don’t want a wannabe dictator running our country. Simple as that.

Broke: danny runs away from bruce wayne because he reminds him of Vlad (bad, overused, fundamentally misunderstands Bruce’s character as a whole for a shit joke)

Woke: bruce wayne doesnt remind danny of vlad masters, but of his best friend sam manson

black hair? check ✅

jewish? check ✅

richer than god? check ✅

gothic? well, mister wayne isnt himself but he lives in the most gothic city on earth so quasi-check ✅

loudly and proudly an activist for various rights including environmental and womens' rights? check ✅

im tired of the "oh danny runs away from bruce because he's rich and reminds him of vlad" give me a danny who actually likes bruce because he reminds him of his awesome kickass best friend who is also stupidly rich

like i’ve been told about the whole “oh fruit loop joke” before and i still think its a cheap, shallow joke if i’ve ever heard one that flanderizes Bruce’s character to an impressive degree. Vlad and Bruce are only comparable in the same sense that they’re both rich and Bruce adopts kids — but he isn’t doing it because of the “adoption addiction” joke, he’s doing it because he sees himself in the kids he adopts and he wants to give them better than he did. Vlad wants Danny as his son to spite Jack, they are not remotely comparable beyond that.

Like, beyond that too i highly doubt vlad masters gives his employees benefits like bruce wayne does. who canonically hires reformed villains and has various branches of medical, industrial, technology, etc in his company in order to help the people of gotham. does Vlad Masters run charities, soup kitchens, etc?? is Vlad contributing to the community? No, no he isnt.

Hello, I dont know if this is the right place for this but I have a question about ao3 terms of service.

Is it against ao3 policy to upload/post mood boards created via stock images along side fics? I have looked several places, and it seems like this is a gray area based on what i have found. I see other creators doing this and I would love to as well, but if its against tos I don't want to violate them.

Thank you for your time.

Hey Nonnie

Posting images is not against the TOS to my knowledge. In fact the FAQ has a whole section on how to embed images in fics.

You can post fanworks that contain text and/or embedded media. However, media types other than text can't currently be hosted by Archive of Our Own (AO3)—they will need to be uploaded to an external site first, and not all sites are supported. If your fanwork contains other media, you can use HTML to embed or link to the externally hosted file in an AO3 work.

In general your best place to direct questions about the AO3 TOS is the support form - where AO3 Support volunteers know all the policies best!

Hope this helps

Aaron: You know those things will kill you, right?

Kevin, pouring another glass of vodka: That’s the point.

Andrew, smoking a cigarette: We’re trying to speed up the process.

Nicky: *Nods while eating raw cookie dough*

obviously we all know that overconsumption is a bad thing, buying stuff you don’t need in excess (example: huge stanley cup collections, the latest micro-trends, etc) is unnecessary! But lately I’ve noticed a trend of people showing off how little they consume which on a surface level sounds great! It’s good not to give into trend based purchases and buy things that you don’t need and likely wont use more than a couple of times! HOWEVER my problem with the trend of underconsumption is the holier than thou attitude people have about it. I’ve noticed that a few underconsumption influencers (for lack of a better word) have a tone that implies that if you’re consuming more than they are that it’s a moral failing that you should be ashamed of. The solution to overconsumption isn’t to forgo buying things entirely, you’re allowed to buy new things especially when it’s something you want that you know you’re going to get use out of! Acting like the answer to overconsumption is to never buy new things again is frankly absurd and rubs me the wrong way especially when paired with an attitude that implies you’re a bad person for buying new things.

on the day that we got the news of a trans teen being killed by their peers in a hate crime, the tumblr CEO decides to join into a transphobic harassment campaign against a trans woman who has been facing repeated censorship from this website. I hate this

So, I did a thing. My first time ever trying to make a Stucky collage. I did one for Steve and one for Bucky, and then I took each of those and inserted them into an overall Stucky collage. So, uh, here's those...if you want to use 'em. Credits to artists/writers at the end of the post! 😁

I also have a version of the collage without Bucky's wall, if anyone wants it. Just let me know, I guess.

CREDITS TO THE ORIGINAL CONTENT CREATORS INCOMING!!!!!

Thank you to Nikka Ursula (wherever you may be), dropdeaddream (is the blog here yours??), and @whatarefears (is this you???) for the words used across the various collages.

Thank you infinitely to @muffinshark, @leehanji, faun-songs, @artwinx, robbieamell (which blog is yours dude?!), @petite-madame, @petiteallemande, @suitfer , frustration-ink, P.M., J.B., cassada, @ssaravinter , @deandraws , stevxbucky, and @maichan808 for the incredible art/manips you created so that I could even attempt this. (I really hope you're not upset by me using your stuff.)

I’m not so crass as to name a whole child after a fictional character in earnest, all I’m saying is it would be insanely easy to do so with the batfam and have it still be a normal ass name because at least three of them suffer from two first name syndrome. You’d barely even have to try.
