#don't Mind if I do!

Blushy blushy blush! Someone's blushing from his cheeks to his ears. 💛💚💛💚 Let me enjoy this one happy scene from an entire 20 minute's of angst! Ok?!?

These two need to have a fight scene together. Imagine it. It be great! Hunter can hold onto Willow as he teleports and Willow can summing different plants to attack. If anyone attacks, teleport away and to a new spot. I swear, Hunter's teleportation really is broken if used right.

pinned presentation post!

HI!

I'm Circusislife, I go by Circus here! Feel free to give me a nickname if you want! (Just nothing degradatory, or I WILL be coming for you -_- ) :D

If the name didn't give It away, I love circus! I have been going to circus school since before I was 8yo, have over a decad of experience behind be and counting, and cannot see myself quitting It anytime soon! (I'll become a teacher if that's what It takes, but I'll be old dead and burried before anything will be able to take It from me)

I have adhd (and Will fight haters). Was also Lucky enough to get an early diagnosis, so i have picked up a few tricks here and there to deal with it. Feel free to ask for tips! (And unlock the oversharing mode mwahahahha) :D

Been through too many fandoms to list them all, but the main One Is Legend of Zelda, Linked universe in particular.

I study maths at university and love the subject (but university Is mental even when you like It so sometimes I'll complain, don't Mind me then) ;)

fair warning, I do ramble a lot when I start talking, so be ready for an infodump at random times! (:

I have been first sneaked into the walls then shlorped into the Hurricane Family.(⁠ﾉ⁠◕⁠ヮ⁠◕⁠)⁠ﾉ⁠*⁠.⁠✧

I'm the Pall Weople parental unit and am called with different variations of circus mother by the other Pall dwellers (except for @/6leafclover, my honorary sibling!<3)

Unless you're a murderer, a bully or kick puppies and kittens for fun, there's not much you can do to make me hate you, so this is a safe space for everyone!

I run the Ravio (and Sheerow) RP blog @ravio-the-merchant . If you want some drama and theatrics It might be fun to check out.

Probably forgot something but It eludes me at the moment, so this Is It for now!

Have a nice time navigating this hostel of Chaos!!!<3

There’s a “documentary” called Room 237 (2012) that exists solely to allow some fans of the film The Shining (1980) share their theories about what the TRUE meaning of the movie is. Most of it is fan wank over-analyzing the film from perspectives that completely differ from the on-the-record sources of director Stanley Kubrick and the book’s author Stephen King. And I don’t mean normal “death of the author” stuff but looking into the deep symbology of using the number 237 instead of 217 from the book because of yadda yadda bullshit bullshit when it’s just the hotel used for exterior shots requested it because they knew people would refuse to stay in the “haunted” room 217, so it was changed to 237 since that hotel didn’t have a room with that number.

But I didn’t want to talk about that. I wanted to talk about one of the best IMDB trivia entries of all time from the segment that goes deep into the conspiracy theory that Stanley Kubrick faked the Apollo 11 moon landing footage and The Shining was his confession. And it is this:

During the segment of the film where they are claiming that "The Shining" is a symbolic representation of the faked moon landing, the narrator talks about changing the room number from 217 to 237. He shows the key which reads, "ROOM No 237" and says that there are only two words you can make with the capital letters, room and moon. However this is untrue as you can also spell moron.

Why must I cringe at 95% of what I say over text??????????? I mean CRINGE!

This is not the only way Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab is coming for my Treat Yourself money, but it was the most instantly effective one

[butchfalin]

the funniest meltdown ive ever had was in college when i got so overstimulated that i could Not speak, including over text. one of my friends was trying to talk me through it but i was solely using emojis because they were easier than trying to come up with words so he started using primarily emojis as well just to make things feel balanced. this was not the Most effective strategy... until. he tried to ask me "you okay?" but the way he chose to do that was by sending "👉🏼👌🏼❓" and i was so shocked by suddenly being asked if i was dtf that i was like WHAT???? WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY TO ME?????????? and thus was verbal again

[inkskinned]

i got rickrolled today but it didn't work because i have adblocker installed, so youtube just told me i violated the terms of service. yesterday i was trying to edit a picture as a joke for my girlfriend, and google made me check a box to prove i'm human because i wasn't "searching normally".

it isn't just that capitalism is killing fun and whimsy, it is that any element of entertainment or joy is being fed upon by this mosquito body, one that will suck you dry at any vulnerability.

do you want to meet new friends in your city? download this app, visit our website, sign up for our email list. pay for this class on making a terrarium, on candlemaking, on cooking. it will be 90 dollars a session. you can go to group fitness, but only under our specific gym membership. solve the puzzle, sign up for our puzzle-of-the-month-club. what is a club if not just a paid opportunity - you are all paying for the same thing, which makes you a community.

but you're like me, i know it - you're careful, you try the library meetings and the stuff at the local school and all of that. the problem is that you kind of want really specific opportunities that used to exist. you are so grateful for libraries and the publicly-funded things: they are, however, an exception - and everything they have, they've fought tooth-and-nail to protect. you read a headline about how in many other states, libraries have virtually nothing left.

do you want to meet up with your friends afterwards? gift your friends the discord app. you can choose to go to a cafe (buy a coffee, at least), a bar (money, alcohol) or you can all stay in and catch a movie (streaming) or you can all stay in bed (rent. don't get me started) and scream (noise complaint. ticket at least).

you want to read a new book, but the book has to have 124 buzzwords from tiktok readers that are, like, weirdly horny. you can purchase this audiobook on audible! your podcast isn't on spotify, it's on its own server, pay for a different site. fuck, at least you're supporting artists you like. the art museum just raised their ticket price. once, they had a temporary exhibit that acknowledged that ~85% of their permanent art galleries were from cis white men, and that they had thousands of works by women (even famous women, like frida! georgia o'keefe!) just rotting in their basement. that exhibit lasted for 3 months and then they put everything away again.

walmart proudly supports this strip of land by the street! here are some flowers with wilting leaves. its employees have to pay out-of-pocket for their uniforms. my friend once got fined by the city because she organized a community pick-up of the riverfront, which was technically private property.

no, you cannot afford to take that dance class, neither can i. by the way - i'm a teacher. i'm absolutely not saying "educators shouldn't be paid fairly." i'm saying that when i taught classes, renting a studio went from 20 bucks an hour to 180 in the span of 6 months. no significant changes to the studio were made, except they now list the place as updated and friendly. the heat still doesn't work in the building. i have literally never seen the landlord who ignores my emails. recently they've been renting it out at night as an "unusual nightclub; a once-in-a-lifetime close-knit party." they spent some of those 180 dollars on LEDs and called it renovating. the high heels they invite in have been ruining the marley.

do you want to experience the old internet? do you want to play flash games or get back the temporary joy of club penguin? you can, you just need to pay for it. i have a weird, neurodivergent obsession with occasionally checking in to watch the downfall and NFT-ification of neopets. if i'm honest with you all - i never got into webkins, my family didn't have the money to buy me a pointless elephant. people forget that "being poor" can mean literally "if i buy you that toy, i can't afford rent."

you and i don't have time to make good food, and we don't have the budget for it. we are not gonna be able to host dinner parties, we're not made of money, kid. do you want some kind of 3rd space? a space that isn't home or work or school? you could try being online, but - what places actually exist for you? tiktok counts as social media because you see other people on it, not because they actually talk to you.

there was a local winter tradition of sledding down the hill at my school. kids would use pizza boxes and jackets and whatever worked, howling and laughing. back in september, they made a big announcement that this time, rules were changing, and everyone must pay 10 dollars to participate. when im not scared shitless, i kind of appreciate the environmental irony - it hasn't gone below 40. so much for snow & joyriding.

i saw a bulletin for a local dogwalking group and, nervous about making a good first impression, showed up early. the first guy there grimaced at me. "sorry," he said. "there's a 30-dollar buy-in fee." i thought he was joking. wait. for what? the group doesn't offer anything except friendship and people with whom to walk around the city.

he didn't know the answer. just shrugged at me. "you know," he said. "these days, everything costs money."

we go just right.

I saw this on FB today and I wanna try and express something about it. Like, you know the curbcutter effect? Where when curbcuts are put in it benefits everyone (bicyclists, people with baby strollers etc) and not just disabled people?

There is also whatever the opposite of the curbcutter effect is. And this is that.

This isn't just anti-adhd/autism propaganda... this is anti-child propaganda.

Kids have developmentally appropriate ways that they need to move their bodies and express themselves and sitting perfectly still staring straight ahead is not natural or good for ANY CHILD.

Don't get me wrong, I was punished unduly as a kid for being neurodivergent (and other types of kid will ALSO be punished unduly for it... Black kids come to mind) and thus UNABLE to perform this -- but even the kids who ARE able to perform this type of behavior are not SERVED WELL by it. They don't benefit from it.

This is bad for everyone.

The idea that bc some kids may be capable of complying with unfair expectations, those expectations don't hurt them... is a dangerous idea. Compliance isn't thriving. Expectation of compliance isn't fair treatment.

JAVIER BARDEM in JAMÓN, JAMÓN (dir. Bigas Luna, 1992)

[crabsnpersimmons]

I got my hair cut the other day and of course I had to draw the dca boys running a hair salon:

Sun would be so effortlessly charming. Always chatting away with customers, explaining each product he uses and how to best maintain and style their hair.

Moon I can see being popular with the less chattier customers (like me) but over time they begin to open up. I imagine he hums while working. Otherwise, he's all ears for the newest gossip.

(The clipped up hat idea came from @bamsara's solar lunacy doodles!)

Also I love the popular headcanon that the dca can speak other languages, so I can imagine them being a hit with the aunties.

The full sketch page under cut! And some of my other thoughts

Other thoughts about this... AU? Can I call it an AU? Feels kinda small for an AU, but whatever:

Eclipse works there too! Haven't decided if it would be canon or fanon Eclipse, though I really like the image of 4-armed Eclipse working on 2 clients at once (plus, the nickname Clip is perfect for this scenario)

of course they're great with kids! They'd be able to console kids that get scared of getting their hair cut. Sun would do a little trick and tell them how good and brave they are all the way through. Moon would console them and hum a soothing song (or hey maybe they notice the kid's wearing a disney shirt and starts humming some showtunes). Every kid gets a candydrop and a balloon on their way out.

y/n works at the hair salon as a part-timer and does tasks around the salon like sweeping, arranging bookings, washing hair, etc. They don't really care too much about their own hair, but the boys are always offering to style it, dye it, braid it. With y/n's permission, the boys always toy with their hair—patting it, combing their hands through it, brushing it over y/n's ear, ruffling it.
