What If: Captain America Were Revived Today? #44 (April 1983) by Peter B. Gillis and Sal Buscema; Original Image by John Romita Sr.
In this What If? Marvel tale, Captain America is unfrozen in 1983 rather than the 1960s. Without the leadership of Steve Rogers, The Avengers disband. Meanwhile, a Captain America imposter, who calls himself a "real American," has decided to use his newfound influential media status to publicly support a National Identity Card to "deal with illegal aliens,” to suggest that members of civil rights groups "ought to think seriously as to whether or not their actions contribute to the strengthening of communist enemies," and declare that if those groups tear the country apart with protests, martial law is justified "for the peace to find a solution.”
Neighborhoods with large black populations (e.g., Harlem) are walled off and forced into poverty, and one character even mentions that Jewish people are being “put back into camps.” The right-wing politicians make sure that things like this aren’t shown on television, keeping the majority of the American public ignorant of the horrors committed with their indifferent support. The public are simultaneously told that with some sacrifices, America can be free once again. The fake Captain America confronts a group of peaceful protestors, and he is shot by a sniper (in what reads like an inside job), allowing the police to have “reason” to attack the protestors. The imposter does not die and instead uses the attack to provide more reason for the violent crackdown against protesting groups.
When the true Captain America is unfrozen, he is horrified to see what America has become, especially with his emblem stamped all over it. He immediately seeks out the resistance forces (who clearly represent the Black Panther Party) and joins their cause, stating that "the wrongs [he's] seen will take much more than one man to right -- but [he's] got a name to clear, a costume to unsoil-- and a country to die for!!"
By the time Steve joins them, the resistance only has one chance left to stop the American downfall: a political convention where the "America First" party will be able to secure its support to sweep the national elections and allow them "to return America to the pure and great nation [the] forefathers envisioned."
The resistance strikes just as the convention begins. The Captain America imposter is no match in a fight against the true Captain America -- especially against a Steve Rogers who's fucking pissed. ("Get up so I can knock you down!!")
With the imposter knocked unconscious, Captain America addresses the convention crowd, warning that an America that does not represent all its people does not deserve to exist at all; that liberty can be "as easily snuffed out [in America] as in Nazi Germany" and "as a people, we are no different from them."
The crowd realizes that the man speaking before them is the true Captain America and cheers. Captain America holds his hand up and silences them, stating that he will not allow them the chance to simply replace one idol with another. He alone can’t undo the horrible damage, and he pleads that there’s still a chance for the people to “find America once again.”
Fascism doesn’t change its tune, just its singers.

It’s Kirby Time - Book 9 English Translation + An Update on Blog Happenings
HAPPY NEW YEAR!! IT'S HEEEEERE!! A truly adorable story about Kirby and Meta Knight deciding to spend some alone time and the activities they like to do during that time. Featuring beautiful illustrations painstakingly cleaned up by myself, this one is a must-read for fans of the relationship between Kirby and Meta Knight. Read the full thing at the links below:
Imgur
MangaDex
Google Drive
...But wait, there's more! Because the illustrations are so pretty, here's a link to a folder containing just those illustrations with no text at all! https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/19z8WLah-ZGES2jnyZOILJKc9kE75Wvs9?usp=drive_link (I'm probably also gonna make a post featuring all these images on their own soon.)
Finally, I have an update regarding the blog. tl;dr, I'm definitely gonna keep doing translations, but the rate at which they are completed and uploaded is most likely going to change soon. I don't know by how much or even if it will be positive or negative. For a more detailed explanation, click the Keep Reading.
So, I got a job! *audience cheers* But the job does not involve translating Kirby manga. *audience "aww"s* Ordinarily I wouldn't get more specific than that since I try to avoid revealing too much about my personal life, but in this case the explanation won't make much sense unless I do, so: The job entails working on fishing boats. This means that there isn't really a set daily schedule or even a weekly schedule. When the boats are fishing, I'm working, and when they're not, I have next to nothing to do.
I've been told by many people that I should expect a lot of down time for that reason, so I'll definitely have time to work on translations. However, I can't predict exactly how much I get and I also most likely won't have an internet connection on the boat. All this is to say that I literally do not know how this is going to affect the rate of translations on this blog beyond just, "It's going to change." I could find that I have so much down time on the boat that translating is the only thing that keeps me sane and I actually get more done. I could find that the boat I'm on is a super-busy one and I get barely any time at all. And regardless of which one of those happens, I won't be able to actually upload anything until the boat gets back into port, which is entirely dependent on how long it takes for the boat to catch all the fish it needs.
The job doesn't start for a couple weeks yet, so I'm gonna try to fulfill a few more requested chapters before then. Once again: I'm definitely going to keep translating, I just don't know how often I'll actually be able to do it. So enjoy this translation, look forward to more coming in the future, and please wish me luck both in my work and in getting time to translate!

How to Keep Doing Descriptions (from someone who does a fuckton)
Plain text: How to Keep Doing Descriptions (from someone who does a fuckton)
This is a list aimed mostly at helping people who already write IDs; for guides at learning how to do them yourself, check my accessibility and image description tags! I write this with close to two years of experience with IDs and chronic pain :)
Get used to writing some IDs by using both your phone and your computer, if you can! I find it easier to type long-form on my laptop, so I set up videos and long comics on my phone, which I then prop up against my laptop screen so I can easily reference the post without constantly scrolling or turning my head
I will never stop plugging onlineocr.net. I use it to ID everything from six-word tags to screenshots of long posts to even comic dialogue! On that last note, convertcase.net can convert text between all-caps, lowercase, sentence case, and title case, which is super helpful
Limit the number of drafts/posts-to-be-described you save. No, seriously. I never go above 10 undescribed drafts on any of my four blogs. It doesn’t have to be that low, but this has done wonders (italics: wonders) for my productivity and willingness to write IDs. If I ever get above that limit, even if it’s two or three more, I immediately either describe the lowest-effort post or purge some, and if I can't do that then I stop saving things to drafts no matter what. No exceptions! Sticking to this will make your life so much easier and less stressful
My pinned post has a link to a community doc of meme description templates!
Ask! For! Help! Please welcome to the stage the People’s Accessibility Server! It’s full of lovely people and organized into channels where you can request/volunteer descriptions and ask/answer questions
I make great use of voice-to-text and glide typing on my phone to save my hands some effort!
Something is always better than nothing!!! A short two-sentence or one-sentence ID is better than no ID at all. Take it easy :)
If you feel guilty about being unable to reblog amazing but undescribed art, try getting into the habit of replying to OP’s post to let them know you liked it! This makes me feel less pressured to ID absolutely everything I see
This is a sillier one, but I tag posts I describe as "described" and "described by me." When saving to drafts, I never preemptively tag with "described by me," since for some reason that always makes me feel extra pressure and extra stress. Consider doing something similar for yourself if that applies!
I frequently find myself looking at pieces of art which feel like they need to be considered for a bit before I can write an ID for them, and those usually get thrown into drafts, where the dread for writing a comprehensive ID just builds. Don’t do that! Instead, try just staying in the reblog field for a bit and focus on the most relevant aspects of the piece. Marinate on them for a little; don’t rush, but don’t spend more than a handful of seconds either. I find after that the art becomes way easier to describe than it initially seemed!
On that note, look for shortcuts that make IDs less taxing for you to do! For example, I only ever describe clothes in art if they're relevant to the piece; not doing that every time saves a lot of time and energy for me personally
Building off of that, consider excusing yourself from a particular kind of ID if you want to. Give yourself a free pass for 4chan posts, or fanart by an artist who does really good but really complex comics, whatever. Let it be someone else's responsibility and feel twice as proud about the work that you can now allot more energy to!
As always, make an effort to find and follow fellow describers! It’s always encouraging to get described posts on your dash, and I find that sometimes I'm happier to ID an undescribed post when the person who put it on my dash is a friend who tagged it with "no ID"
TL;DR: To make ID-writing less stressful and more low-effort, use different devices and software like onlineocr.net and voice-to-text, limit the amount of work you expect yourself to do, and reach out to artists and other describers!

Ah hi Ceru it has been ages!! So I saw that you want people to feed into your horror/yandere brainrot and luckily for only you, I am very fucked up in the head. So be prepared for whatever fucked up shit I’m about to write^^
C.W: stalking, kidnapping, Stockholm Syndrome
Let’s go with the person you like best in twst, Cater Diamond. Now people don’t know a lot about Cater so we can do honestly a shit ton of things with him. So let’s talk about him in my horror au. Cater is honestly such a cool character and I love him oh so very much, so making him fucked up is so fucking easy. As we know Cater is chronically online, so imagine a celebrity Yuu. They don’t go to nrc but they went to the island once and Cater instantly fell head over heels.
Now, Cater in my AU is this obsessive guy, he stalks people, he knows everything about everyone, he gets what he wants and isn’t afraid of getting his hands dirty. So he starts digging into Yuu’s past, at first it’s small things that the public knows, but then he goes deeper and deeper and soon he knows everything about them. Their shoe size, what’s their sleep schedule, favorite food, where they live, the kind of soap and shampoo they use, their order at their favorite coffee shop.
But after he learns everything online he starts getting desperate. Tons of messages and dms, he finds their number and text and calls them. He find their friends numbers and texts and calls them. At first just simple “hi” “good morning!!” “How was your day?” “I loved the new post you posted<3” but soon it turns into him talking about things they did in their private life and even threatening their close friends and family so he can family talk to them. Of course Yuu tries everything they can to get a restraining order against him, but they can’t find anything to do with this guys.
One day Yuu is out alone doing a quick errand, when they run into Cater. They, of course, don’t know who he is but he mentions that they met before, like ages ago, and they talk a bit and Cater gets a picture, before Yuu leaves. Cater, being Cater, follows them home secretly, breaks in when they’re asleep, and kidnaps them:)
Yuu wakes up in an actually nice room, but it’s not their room, the door is locked, the window has bar metals and their an ankle monitor on them. After a while Cater walks in and starts acting like this sweet guy and after some freaking out on Yuu’s part he confesses that he’s the one who’s been stalking them, calling and texting them for months now but he only did that cause he loves them and wouldn’t want anything to happen to them ever, so he’s just looking out for them.
After that Yuu stays in that room for months, with only Cater as company. Every time they do anything that Cater disapproves of he gets upset and leaves them in that room for days, one time he left for a whole month. And to Yuu’s shock and horror, they actually missed Cater. You know what happens after that. Cater gaslights and manipulates Yuu, Yuu believes him and becomes dependent on him. Cater thinks they’re in love, but he’s just obsessed with the idea of them. Yuu thinks they love him, but they’ve been locked up for so long away from other people that they’re lying to themselves.
I wanted to fit cannibalism in here somewhere but I think that’s crossing the line so I didn’t 😭. Anyways I hope you likes me and my fucked up thoughts goodnight<3
Oh no, it’s fine! Cannibalism isn’t for everyone and I get it. I’ve written some in the past, so I’m alright with brainrot involving it, but thank you for drawing the line anyways!
Also you’re so real, Cater has the potential to be so super creepy, it’s a shame I don’t write him as yandere as often as I’ll like-
Also it has been so long- Hi!!! How are you???🫶
————————————————————————
Tw: yandere
It’s just so suffocating being with Cater, you know? He’s just so concerned about his image, how he presents himself to you. Every word as artificial as the last, dripping with honeyed words and sugared lies.
The sweetness was cute at first, but now?
It’s just down right nauseating.
Cater strives so damn hard just to please. Lurking in Internet forums, scanning threads you’ve liked (in the account you thought you made private) and combing interviews you don’t even remember doing. Just for little tidbits of information you’ve dropped about you.
Your favourite food. Your favourite book. Your favourite place to hang out. Favourite this, favourite that.
You’ve seen the list on his phone, a great winding chunk of text stretching from pages on the end. You’ve seen essays with less material. Normally, you would have pegged it down was just another… oddly invested fan, if nothing came out of it.
You got the desire to get to know your idols more. It was just a natural human curiosity, wasn’t it? Even though Cater’s level was… remarkably obsessive.
It’s one thing to worship your idols.
It’s another to kidnap them and force a confession down their throat. Hell, it’s been a month, and you’re still not used to the shackles around your wrists. You still wince at the way your constraints drag across the ground, metal scratching against tiled floors.
Yet the greatest restraint was the man himself. Whenever he saw fit to drop by, Cater can’t just seem to let you go. Crushing you in bone-crushing embraces, cooing about his day, how his lunch tasted… and just how much he missed you!
You used to accompany him during lunch hours through your live streams, and the little clips that circulate through his social media! Not going to lie, he hardly listens to those anymore.
Why would he?
When he has the real thing all tied up prettily just for him at home?

welcome to swiftie tumblr here’s a style guide
are you afraid of people making judgements about the way your profile looks but you don't know enough about tumblr to tell what people might judge you about? then this post is for you!
this is mostly gonna apply to specifically swiftie tumblr, and even then like. you’re totally free to present yourself however you want, but these are just the dominant cultural norms
URLS
album and song titles are the most sought after
lyrics are also very popular (the shorter the better)
dashes are considered a bit cringe but slight misspellings or adding an s to words are fine
adding your name to your url will make people go 🫵 twitter user 🫵
PROFILE PICTURES
you should have a pfp chosen before you start following people, otherwise people will go “oh fuck a bot” and automatically block you
pictures of yourself will also make people go 🫵 twitter user 🫵
gradient/one color backgrounds behind a picture of taylor are still very common, but plain pictures of taylor are also a vibe
if they have that one particular pale pink-ish with a bit of grain filter people will go 🫵 twitter user 🫵
displaying your pfp in a circle format on your mobile theme is more common but if you have it square people won’t judge you
BACKGROUND IMAGES
there’s lots of acceptable ways to do this but something unique to tumblr is playing with the border between the background and the rest of your blog
a few years ago it was super popular to add a ripped paper effect to the bottom, and that’s still hanging on
a curved border (either a wave or a bowl shape) is also fairly common
making the picture smaller than the borders has started to gain traction (i started noticing it becoming popular like, mid pandemic)
hiding the pfp from your mobile theme to make your background flow more is super common but the color schemes should still compliment each other
MOBILE THEME
you can use this handy dandy tool to make your background/text color match a color in your background/pfp
i’d say white or black backgrounds are still the most common but i’ve found the colored background with white text to be making a strong comeback
there’s not a ton of judgement about this, as long as it all matches
BLOG TITLE
blog titles can really be whatever but in general keep it short (less that one row)
a short lyric, a word, or an emoji are the most common options
DESCRIPTION
i’ve found getting on a computer and going to yoururl.tumblr.com and clicking on the little painting thing on the top right corner to be the best way to edit text but the mobile app works fine too (unless you’re adding links then you have to go on a computer)
in general 2-3 rows are the most common, and ideally it’s not just one big wall of text
general format is name (this is where you link your caard/about page) / age/age range / pronouns in the top row and a (short) lyric you like in the bottom
another popular format is everything being a lyric and adding links to stuff on important words
if you like to make edits/art/some other type of original content feel free to add a link in your description
you can add links (again only on desktop) like this
MISC BLOG SETUP STUFF
if your likes/following are visible (especially if both are visible) people will go 🫵 twitter user 🫵
some people show their most popular posts, some people don’t, to my knowledge there’s no judgement either way
your pinned post can be whatever you want it to be but it’s super common to have it be a short about/navigation page
most people have a tag they use for personal posts (“name speaks/rambles/etc” is probably the most common) but you don’t have to if you don’t want to
INTERACTIONS WITH OTHER PEOPLE
follow for follows are not super common. it happens (if you follow someone people it’s common for that person to check out your blog but not in any way a guarantee) but for the most part being tumblr mutuals is a higher bar to clear than “oh this person follows me.” if you want to get peoples attention i would recommend this method, but even then the person can chose not to follow you without it being an insult to your character
blocking is more common than it is on twitter and not an insult to your character. repeatedly starting shit with other people will cause your followers to block you. if you want to start a fight with someone just block them instead
feel free to reblog old posts and spam like
while the mechanics and terminology are very similar, in terms of the way they are perceived a tumblr like is not equal to a twitter like, a tumblr reply is not equal to a twitter reply, and a reblog is not equivalent to retweet
likes are generally utilized as a little hello or bookmarks
reblogs are closer to twitter likes than anything else
replies have a fairly unique function in tumblr interactions but i think the closest way to describe it is like a semi-public dm to the op— chances are no one else is going to see it but the op (except if you replied through a reblog, then the reblogger will see it, but the reblogger will still likely read your reply as intended for the op)
if you have a comment put it in the tags. you know those old screenshots of tumblr posts that have a million “oh my god this is so funny”s breaking up the content of the post? that’s widely considered not only cringe but a bit rude now, please don't do that
if you like someone’s tags, reblog from them and say “prev tags”. every few weeks you’ll see someone from a different corner of tumblr say “prev tags is dead!” but on swiftie tumblr prev tags has never died and doesn’t show signs of dying in the near future
@-ing taylor in a post (edit: unless it’s a joke, @-ing taylor as a joke is very funny feel free to do that) will make people go 🫵 twitter user 🫵
again you can present yourself however you want, tumblr is the home of cringe, these are just the dominant cultural norms that i’ve noticed on swiftie tumblr specifically

the theories that have been presented on this cast + one of my own :)
I do want to mention that I strongly believe this is a prequel due to a conversation I had with a bunch of people on discord earlier. (Everyone was 16+, dw.)
Tumblr media
I haven’t seen anything about the first two at all so far, so I’ll be skipping over them and onto the third guy (oh my fucking lord).
(Also this post from @nesisamess helped a lot)
Tumblr media
Staring onto the third dude,
(both posts are made by @zitherwaifuus :)
Tumblr media
Tumblr media
It seems that here this guy has some sort of relationship to XF-Future Tech, which if you’ve seen Min’s side story, you’d know is the company that came into her life and groomed her to be the Ultimate Student. She received special tutoring for them and worked her ass off for that title her entire life because of that. Next, this guy shares the same tie pin she does, and it’s also very notable that she dresses up with the same button down and tie in her MV. Not only do I think she is linked to the company now, but she might be working there before she was in the game. Who knows, though.
Next, I have not seen anything on the fourth girl besides a bunch of people on discord theorizing what the dandelion in her hair could mean. Unfortunately dandelions have different meanings from different cultures all over the world, so until it’s specified about where she’s from, I don’t think there’s many assumptions we can make yet.
Number Five, the purple guy.
Tumblr media
Everyone seems to think so far that this is Elliot Cuevas, Charles Cuevas’s deceased brother. Now let me tell you that although I can’t see it based off design, the way he looks (playful and kinda weird but happy) and the way he was described by the creator in the latest qna (a popular joyous dude), can definitely make me see this being real. The only thing that is super far fetched about this is that we know he died a long time ago, and so if this is a prequel, it would have to be at least 15 years before drdt even starts.
Here’s also some more evidence from @sunlit-haru supporting the ‘that’s Elliot’ theory.
Tumblr media
Now we’re up to the protagonist, who mind you is definitely my favorite so far. I will eliminate the rest of you protag dickriders so I will be the only simp left.
ANYWAYS, in the about page for this, it’s stated that this is a fangan for someone who wants to be the perfect teacher. Now with the hidden quote on the drdt tumblr page about this teacher…
( @demodraws0606 ‘s post)
Tumblr media
Uh oh. I think we’ve figured out who this mysterious teacher might be. As for who is talking to them, I’ve personally got a few ideas, but they are not backed with any evidence.
1. The mastermind from this first killing game
2. Mai Akasaki or David Chiem still
3. The mastermind of the drdt killing game
Whoever it is, I think that these games are surely related and that each current kg participant does have a relation with one of these cast members. And that previous killing game’s end is why this one is happening.
Then, based off the post up top and a few others, people seem to think this is Teruko’s brother. I’m going to give a wild theory (no evidence) that Mai Akasaki knows him, only bc of the red in his hair. Then I think Mai would’ve found Teruko, and she would’ve been trying to reconnect them. Just a theory, though. There’s no evidence based around that this guy might be Teruko’s brother though, sadly.
Last but not least, @1moreff-creator pieced together some of the text on his badge:
Tumblr media
I’m just gonna say that I’m seriously impressed with your efforts cause I have no fucking clue that could even be readable lmao.
*UPDATE ON TEXT: holy mother of god, @xmicrophonyx is a fucking god, and deciphered it. Here you go, and we all have got to give a serious thank you to them.
Tumblr media
Sadly I cannot link the image of what the phone number gets to, but it gets linked to a yellow pill. I don’t have any ideas on how it would relate to the game, but I think it does. It’s used for high blood pressure and heart failure. If he’s really related to Teruko, I wouldn’t be surprised if he had high blood pressure lmao.
Also, the area code for 555 is just North America.
Here’s what I found on Wikipedia:
“The telephone number prefix 555 is a central office code in the North American Numbering Plan, used as the leading part of a group of 10,000 telephone numbers, 555-XXXX, in each numbering plan area (NPA) (area code). It has traditionally been used only for the provision of directory assistance, when dialing NPA-555-1212.
The central office code is also used for fictitious telephone numbers in North American television shows, films, video games, and other media in order to prevent practical jokers and curious callers from bothering telephone subscribers and organizations by calling telephone numbers they see in works of fiction.”
I don’t understand the first part, but it seems that this is a fictional number. If someone could explain to me wtf that first part even memes, I might be able to give more info.
Anyways, it seems that this guy ended up being a teacher at HPA, before or after the killing game. But I think this was very worth mentioning.
Unfortunately I’ve seen nothing about the next two, but I want to say that the girl in all pink (#8) I think is Felicity Giles, if that’s even possible. I just feel that’s Arturo’s sister. I know, I’m a weirdo. Even if #7 looks more like Arturo, I just cannot see it.
Moving on, nine and ten! If you look at them closely they’ve got the same eye pattern, suggesting they’re siblings, or likely twins, since they’ve got the fire/ice scheme going on.
Lastly, eleven which oh my god, Arturo’s dream girl! But she’s been theorized to be Whit’s mom. Here’s the post that argues a pretty convincing reason of why.
Tumblr media
Oh boy. That woman is pretty cool and is very elegant, and has the same shade of blond hair that Whit dyed his too. I don’t think she’s any coincidence.
But joining along on that last little paragraph of this person’s post, it’s starting to seem a lot of characters do have connections to this cast and are seemingly mentioned quite a few times.
UPDATE: oh my lord, @accirax literally went on a deep dive for us and gave us a pretty good explanation and educated guess on everyone’s talents. I’m not going to link it because they covered pretty much every logical point as to why they have their guesses. Here’s the post if you haven’t already seen it https://www.tumblr.com/accirax/728687594893885440/drdt-new-character-talent-analysis
Anyways this is just the sum-up of everyone’s theorizing + a bit of my add on to it, and huge kudos to everyone who’s been making theories so far. I’ll be updating & crediting if there’s anymore notable things that come out.
Thanks for reading!

I just found this blog so I'm jumping aboard the plushie bandwagon.
First we got Absol. (i feel like maybe i should've taken a closer-up picture but it's the face sooo)
Tumblr media
Then a Wooloo
Tumblr media
And, saving best for last, this Leafeon plush I own... of which I swear on my life is official merch.
Tumblr media
I also have some more eeveelutions (plus an eevee and a few more) but: 1. I didn't want to send too many. 2. Eeveelutions are more popular so I wanted to give some other people the chance to submit their own. 3. I don't know where my Pikachu and Snivy plushies are cuz I own too many stuffed animals.
Only reason I submitted Leafeon was so I could show off this ~masterpiece~ of a plushie I own. And it's face isn't the only thing wrong with it too lol. Also I just noticed I accidentally had one of the ears hanging back but I'm too lazy to go take another photo but i hope this amuses you nonetheless.
ALRIGHT THERE'S BEEN A LOT OF YOU AS I'VE BEEN OUT WITH MY FAMILY FOR CHRISTMAS HUH
let's start with these guys. beautiful. wonderful. i do not believe that that leafeon is official merch. this statement is baffling to me. welcome to the front-facing pokémon family. i love the eyes on that absol and wooloo is one of my faves. i was rather obsessed with it when it first came out and have a whole wooloo tag on my main blog because of it. though i guess i cleared that whole thing out recently so i don't anymore
let's get the nose ratings out of the way:
Tumblr media
↑ this is a lie. 10/10 chespin
Tumblr media
it's very wide and also 10/10 you're being too harsh. merry day to you too
Tumblr media
circular face indeed. did i already post this one? if i did you can have it again
Tumblr media
clodsire be upon ye. clodsire fans this is your treat until gen 9
Tumblr media
this is a trend now. i think tumblr just crunched this image to hell for some reason so here's what the text says:
"Felt like joining the others for front facing pokeplushies [images] I have more pokemon but its early morning and these are the plushies that are easy to access"
Tumblr media
i have not but i imagine "a moment" has long passed by now. my apologies but apparently today was an important day or something? idk
Tumblr media
YEAH it's super unbelievably fucked up. i think i kinda remember the circumstance being a bit dire so everyone else was more worried about either 1. protagonist getting stomped on brutally or 2. saving the world from kyurem / the bittercold. i was totally under the impression that he was dead in that moment but i guess the characters may have known that he would just come back? i seem to vaguely remember partner being surprised that he came back and being like "but we watched you die :OOO" but maybe i'm misremembering that. i do create a lot of pmd lore on my own time so i have a hard time telling the difference between canon and fanon sometimes
Tumblr media
two a day makes the world go round! this blog started when i started college, paused for 80% of my college career and now has started back up and i just graduated college a week ago. i would say "how time flies" but it has been a very, very long year
Tumblr media
i've said it before and i'll say it again: gen 6 is my favorite gen, so you'll be seeing lots of favor for this gen from me in the tags i'm sure. maybe gen 6 is my excuse to start doing other things here. like that stream i keep talking about

if they put meloetta as a little obscure puzzle thang in sv, i'm sure they'll do something for genesect. i hope. at least for keldeo probably. genesect i'm not sure is very popular, unfortunately, outside of the tumblr crowd. if the general public's opinion on genesect is favorable, then maybe
okay and then i tried to scroll down further in my screenshots for more asks and saw the wobbly will smith in a hospital bed Gimme a Hug, Man that i copied from the "i get a little bit genghis kanghis" post so that's it. to everyone who christmases: merry it. it is today. although it's basically over by now so! merry boxing day for tomorrow if i don't say anything tomorrow. but i probably will. now i'm gonna go queue up today's 'mons because i haven't done it yet today. see you all in a few weeks when those post

The Scholomance in Minecraft
So after finishing the second read through of the series, I decided I wanted to get a true feeling for the scale of the place and the first thing I had to do so was Minecraft. So I've been working on it for a while and I'd figure I'd share some of the results.
Three things to keep in mind:
This is Minecraft Java Edition, unmodded, no texture packs. There are somethings it just cannot do, or do so in a nice way, like angles and circles.
I based it on the illustrations in the book more than the text and those don't match as much as you might think. Thus this is not book accurate, and not super accurate to the illustrations either.
It's not done, not by a long shot. Most of what you'll see are mock ups and samples of the overall structure. It's way, WAY too big to do more than that.
With that, I present the Scholomance, done in Minecraft.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Dorm room, generic. No, I didn't model El or Chloe's rooms.

This Reddit thread collates all the build journals over on Imgur (how many social spaces can be connected together?). There are a lot more images than these few I posted here. The most recent back up is linked in the last image of Build 11. Feel free to download and explore. If you get running on a server, let me know, I'd love the help to finish it.

Misaki’s Cancer: CW for mentions of cancer, scars, and treatments - BD E10 SPOILERS!
I wanted to look a bit more into Misaki’s cancer. I am not an expert on this topic at all, just going off of info I find online, so anyone who is more informed, please feel free to add your thoughts, more info, etc.
Tumblr media
The only thing we really have to go off of in regards to it is the scar, which looks similar to a scar after thyroid cancer removal:
Tumblr media
Most of the thyroid cancer scars you find online are post-two weeks, so I’m going to assume that is the same for Misaki’s scar or, at the very least, that that is the youngest the scar is. She could have had the surgery a bit further back as well. How prominent/dark and how faded a scar looks can also very a lot from person to person for a variety of reasons.
Tumblr media
We also have Misaki saying, “The cancer spread to here.” Now, I’m not sure if this means that she has had cancer in other parts of her body, and has had it removed, and then it has spread up to her throat, or if this is talking more about how some types of thyroid cancer can spread to other tissues in the throat, such as the lymph nodes.
When Rei asks Misaki if she is going to die, she doesn’t give a direct answer, instead saying:
Tumblr media
“God’s so cruel.” And:
Tumblr media
“After everything I’ve been through already,”
Tumblr media
“he throws this on the pile.”
To me, that isn’t her confirming a death sentence, but more so just implying that her life has gotten more complicated and the cancer caused a lot of general upheaval in her life that wasn’t present before (though before there were a lot of other issues as well, but that’s a different story). 
After all, even though she has had the thyroid cancer removed, there are still other things she would have to worry about. Such as:
Tumblr media
“taking lifelong thyroid hormone replacements,” possibly “supplements to balance your calcium levels,” and other treatments to ensure that the cancer has not returned or spread elsewhere. 
When looking into thyroid cancer, however, it seems that this cancer isn’t generally a super fatal one, especially for Misaki’s age:
Tumblr media
70% of all thyroid cancer deaths occur in patients who are 65 years and older, with an average age of 73 years. Most forms of thyroid cancer aren’t fatal as well:
Tumblr media
As the text in the image above notes: Most thyroid cancers can be cured, especially if they have not spread to distant parts of the body. If the cancer can’t be cured, the goal of treatment may be to remove or destroy as much of the cancer as possible and to keep it from growing, spreading, or returning for as long as possible. 
The survival rate is also quite high:
Tumblr media
Text: “In the United States, the 5-year survival rate for people with thyroid cancer is 98%. However, survival rates are based on many factors, including the specific type of thyroid cancer and stage of the disease.
Of course, the above information is United States based. Japan’s thyroid cancer survival and death rate are a bit different (survival is lower and death rates higher), though this may be due to having a larger elderly demographic (as noted above, with most deaths occurring in those 65 years and over).
Now, based on what Misaki said, we know that there has been “spreading.” But does that mean that the cancer spread into the thyroids or does that mean that cancer from elsewhere spread into her thyroid? If it’s the former, then her survival rate is still rather high:
Tumblr media
It would be Stage 2 Regional Cancer which, according to this graphic above, has a 97.6% survival rate. Though, it should be noted that she may have anaplastic thyroid cancer, which is a very aggressive form of thyroid cancer and often results in death (and not much time to live afterwards).
Also, if the cancer’s source isn’t the thyroids and it spread there from somewhere else, then that means she has Stage 3 Cancer, can vary or range depending on the kind, but is generally a lot lower. 
We still don’t have a 100% clear picture on this aspect, but Misaki’s cancer isn’t necessarily a death sentence. It might have just been a very painful and life altering wake-up call. Hopefully that life-altering wake-up call will ultimately be a good one and that she will end up with a good survival rate. But, I’m not going to rule out more aggressive types, other cancers, and so forth, which may lower her overall survival rate/length of time as well.
Especially since I’m not a doctor or nurse or anyone with actual medical knowledge and experience with cancers (outside of family members who have had cancer, some of whom are still very much alive). So, once again, if you have more knowledge in this area, please feel free to add to this!

so ive been seeing some ai art floating around in some of my frequented tags recently and I wanted to share some info about why I personally don't think ai art is that great
this is pretty common knowledge at this point but for those who don't know generative ai creates images, text and music through data scraping. what this means is that the ai uses every piece of information it can from the internet to create new stuff. which in theory is fine but in practice it means that a lot of authors, musicians and artists are having their work fed to programs like wombo, dall-e, and fotor without consent or compensation. its no coincidence that you can ask for images in big online artists styles and get convincing results.
am i saying ai art is evil and we should never use it? no. there are plenty of ways it can assist the creative process but when its taking data from people who a) didn't consent and b) arent getting compensated I personally feel its disrespectful to those creators.
there are examples of artists who use ai art in ethical ways like Yuma Yanagisawa if you wanna look him up his work is super interesting. The difference there is that Yuma's ai only uses photos he himself has taken to create the finished art pieces, totally avoiding the whole unethical data scraping situation.
anyways sorry for the long post i did a report on gai recently and wanted to put my thoughts out into the void.

Hiii!! it's me again :))
(smiles cutely and bats eyelashes) (I SWEAR IT'S MY LAST REQUEST) So I was wondering if uhm it would be possible to get more renders of thomas... Whenever I see him or his brother I get a serotonin boost (I have the most normal ttcc blog ever hahaha ha ha ha)
I've seen that you started to receive more request recently, so once again, if you don't want to do it, don't force yourself!
Tumblr media
oh yeah absolutely here's A Bunch Of Him:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
inspiration for the style of the first one was drawn from @/applekitty's renders, which look absolutely amazing and have a great vibe to them. there's more specific origins for each of these images, so there's that + rambling + a doodle below the cut
more specifically the first image is inspired by someone in the clash discord who was hypothesizing about boardbot hq boss fight just being a fight vs the chairmans whole family, which i think would be. A Time. (hence Crystalline being there, but i don't have a design for her, personally, so, y'know.) the gif was requested by a friend because i find it really funny that he really is just an ottoman if you angle the camera away from his face??? third image i made as a desktop background, fourth image is thomas sleeping in his office. i think he ends up sleeping overnight frequently, he just has too much work to do to commute, honestly.
Tumblr media
^ quick doodle, transcript of the text is in the alt text because i know its difficult to read. conversation takes place several years before events of the game.
OKAY SORRY FOR THE LONG POST AGAIN... THERES A LOT I WANT TO SAY ABOUT THIS ASK ASIDE FROM POSTING THOMAS!!! (BUT I LOVE POSTING THOMAS!!!!!!)
first of all the image you attached is absolutely amazing! secondly you are free to send requests any time!!! i do not actually get (that) many, after i respond to this one there'll only be another in the backlog to do, and i've only been putting off that one because it's got a cog that i don't have the model for yet (though it's not like that's a hassle, really) rest assured sending me a request is not bothering me or forcing me. if i don't want to do a request i'll just ignore it or say nah. i am a very bored unemployed person who likes toontown and likes making stuff of other peoples blorbos!
i read all of the comics on the clash site the other day, so i've been meaning to do renders/draw thomas and robert anyhow... they're both such sillies. silly old men. this isn't related but roberts model is. super expressive! like, i can only really get him to look angry, but damn is it easy to make him look a bunch of different shades of angry. i think its mostly the excessive eyelid bones. that last sentence sucked actually, banning myself from posting about fictional eyelids

i didnt like my pinned post so i got rid of it a while back but i think it's useful to have so heres a new one :)
hi im izzy! i go by he/she exclusively so try not to use they for me <3 i am over 18 but i will not post/reblog 18+ content. (maybe a funny text post which will be always tagged as 'nsfw text') i block proshippers (or whatever other fancy term for all that weird shit!), terfs & exclusionists. if you have something you need tagged let me know !!
you may use my art for anything (within reason) as long as you credit me! you dont have to link me just my username or keeping my signature in the image will do <3
-
COMMISSIONS:
my carrd if you're interested in commissioning me or visiting my other socials ^-^ if you want something ive done that you dont see on there please DM me i'll be more than happy to quote you a price!
-

& that's all the need-to-know byf stuff!! so below is just a little extra about me if you're curious
-
my special interest is mother 3! i mostly draw mother 3 fanart, and sfw furry art. i have like, half the mother fandom on here blocked for no reason so if i blocked you even though you aren't weird or anything im super sorry😭 its most likely not even anything you did i'm just weird and sensitive. i have pretty much every ship tag blocked for mother so please don't ask me to draw ships. i don't care what you do on your own blog as long as you tag it though
im kind of bad with a lot of the social aspect of social media soo if i misread your tone or completely miss a social cue or misunderstand what you were trying to say im soooo sorry... im not very observant and not very good at talking to people the 'right' way lol. i can be just a bit slow to pick up on certain things & other things will fly right over my head so patience is appreciated
i can be pretty moody and sometimes ill get in a cycle of reblogging some negative stuff.. i will do my best to tag it as neg or anything else! i often dont even realize i'm doing this until its over (mood swing moment) but i dont want to concern anyone so just know im always okay , chances are whatever mood im in wont even last longer than 20 minutes lol
i think thats it but feel free to ask me anything!! im kind of awkward in conversation but i will answer whatever questions ppl have for me in earnest ^-^

Little bit of progress on the angelic language
I have several drafts of 'theories' and various things I've noticed in the show, but I thought I would share a little about this before I share any of those cause I know I mentioned it in my last post.
The Angelic Language...or whatever you wanna call it.
A week or two ago (I cannot remember how long it's been...probably only a week) my sister @lady-of-the-puddle and I printed off a shit ton of screenshots I took (I'll share my doc if anyone is super interested but there's nothing important in it as I've been doing all my work on paper.) From there we sat down, did a little matching of characters with real languages but frankly didn't bother spending too long with that cause frankly we're here to do more trial and error. But also it takes a long time to hand write in tons of different possible letter combinations on sheets of paper that we had to print out in black and white.
I previously took a screenshot from the scene where Michael is discussing the plan for Armageddon 2 Electric Boogaloo. I had a few thoughts on it and I'm wondering if it's quite possibly a key of sorts.
Here's a couple images of it. The first being the screenshot, the second being me adjusting the lighting so you can make out the symbols a little better.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
As you can see there's two sets of symbols here and I have a couple theories as to what they mean but nothing quite lines up?? So there's that.
Here's my kinda half-assed notes on it that probably don't mean too much?
Tumblr media
My theory here is maybe that it says something like 'The Earth' but if it does the characters don't match up where the 'H's would be soooo. My other thoughts on this were why on earth would Michael's bullet points be in English but everything else not? They're angels that clearly have their own language. Also why is the title on the document folder written in English and not this language? (I ask too many questions.)
Tumblr media
My sister and I have tried a series of different letter combinations there and wrote them down in my screenshots of the giant ass text walls they show in the replay footage.
So far, nothing much has turned up (but also we've been super busy and haven't been able to try much.)
That being said, another thing I've found that...I find weird but I'm not sure what it means is that certain text walls seem to match other text walls for lack of better phrasing.
For example...
Tumblr media
And I have closer images where Uriel and Saraquael's text change and match each other and you can make out symbols that the other cuts off, but to be honest I'm not sure how to show that too well without sending my photos through an editor. (I think my favorite thing about working with my sister on this is for whatever reason we both keep thinking these characters look like something we've seen in Nancy Drew games before.)
That's...really all I have for now. I haven't had much time to work on this and won't as I'm recently full-time and also in the middle of con-crunching. I just thought I'd share what my sister and I found a week ago (or however long it was as time has no meaning to me) because I'd mentioned it in my previous post about the all the scenes in the opening with Jim.
There will be more to come soon (maybe not with the language right now because that takes a lot of time and con-crunching is...well con-crunching) but I have several more posts drafted. Plenty talking about the opening sequence. A few about other things because my sister and I are losing our minds over this shit.
But soon enough you'll get to here lots about...typos and recurring things and out of place things. But for now, here's what little I have with this. I'll be back with more observations and speculation soon.

Is there a lore primer for your work on FA? Your worldbuilding is fascinating. Also, proselytize is so good, please write 5000 more chapters
first off thank you proselytize is really fun even if fanfiction is not normally my jam. proselytize has been planned out mostly unchanged for a long time now and it's just the matter of oh my god romance scenes are fucking hard people wanting to kiss is weird and that's the hold up in writing more chapters right now
i have a lot of settings i do stuff with on FA ngl. one of my most obnoxious inspirations was Dune, and one of my worst traits as a person in this world is creating content with 0 effort to explain itself and it's on the reader to figure things out through context because that is, personally, my nonsexual fetish and i am subjecting everyone to it constantly
my most stable and prolific settings are Under Watchful Is and Auroral Oceans and if anyone's visiting my gallery those are the folders i suggest you poke into primarily
there used to be a pastebin for Under Watchful Is setting document but pastebin apparently banned like all its content so uhhh fuck it HERE'S A DROPBOX of the UWi setting notes
UWi is a world that largely knows it's a story and it began as a tumblr game that died off really fast due to player derails. it's where knicknacks (the giant cotton beast guys) are from! there's like ten kinds of magic and you can alter reality just by trying hard enough and that's normal for everyone there. it remains one of my favorite settings to draw little snippets of life from
to get a good sense of UWi i would recommend Yhelm's story , just, just kinda go into her gallery and start from the back and work your way up. a lot of the context of her story explains a lot of the setting, and her story is super situated in how her setting works b/c honestly worldbuilding should exist to serve the story mostly i think personally
note that a lot of the posts are images WITH text stories beneath so look at the description in the image pages for like the majority of the actual stories
i'm SLOW in working on Yhelm's stuff but i'm not given up on it! it's an awkward journey of romance and family relationships and race and identity and magic and poly romance and crime
Auroral Oceans is going through a ton of reworks because it's my most granular highly-detailed setting with very specific rules. so far the only real kinda-ongoing story is Sasfsets' but heyyo content warning there's a lot of bad people in that story and there's a lot of full on sexual abuse and murder. her story's kinda stuck because i wanted to redo some of the visual style of the setting to move away from them feeling like furries and making them feel more like weird aliens in a world of endless rainbow and void
these are ALL part of a giant fucking metasetting linked to the City in the Middle, with each of the settings and worlds all having the same kind of lifespan and reproductive system and underlying fundamental rules, and there are drifts like Tabrix and Sabhaxlia who can go between worlds or who are worlds
Sabhaxlia herself also started life as a tgchan quest

How is Pillowfort these days? I joined back in 2017 but decided Tumblr was still usable so I haven’t touched it since.
I'm not gonna be one of those people who overhypes PillowFort, but it's genuinely a good platform. It's not very good for me specifically, but I am one user in a sea of void only knows how many, so my personal gripes are fairly irrelevant in the grand scheme of things.
Negatives (YMMV): To be completely honest, PF is basically dead for me, because my main fandom has no foothold over there. It's genuinely very difficult for me to keep active because of how long it takes me to get their image uploader to behave and the lack of a post scheduler. There are some really weird behaviors in their text editor that have been there for Literal Years that have yet to be addressed in any way and I've kind of accepted that my half-dozen bug reports will never get a response. HOWEVER—
Positives (objective): The platform itself is solid, if slow, and there are a lot of pretty active communities over there! The new UI is a huge improvement, the a la carte features in PF Premium are genuinely good (200 icons and double the standard filesize upload limit for less than $6 a month), and the privacy options are fantastic. User interaction is super easy to track, blocking is fairly robust, and they take user input on features and standards pretty seriously—tricky bug reports notwithstanding. The dev blog is extremely transparent about what they're working on and why, using clear and understandable language that shows they understand what needs work from a user perspective. (One of their major goals right now is literally "Make the posting interface more good and less bad," so they know it's rough and they're not pretending otherwise, which earns them a lot of respect in my book.)
Even though I get basically no engagement over there at all, I still believe it's an excellent platform; once the post scheduling feature goes live, I'll definitely be more consistently active! (I know this could theoretically make a difference in the kind amount of interaction I get, but I have been consistently active in the past with no difference, so I'm not holding my breath. This is not the platform's fault.)
For now it's a good fallback for me, and I do pay for Premium because I want to support such a solid and still entirely independent platform, I just don't really think I'm the kind of person who will get the most out of it. I'd still love to see it succeed, and that seems much more possible now that it has a consistent revenue stream via PF Premium.
My list of invite keys is here, if someone wants one!

I'm loving your blog so much!!! I really enjoy your headcanons! ^w^ May I request a part 2 of the "how they would text you" headcanons? I'd love to see how Ryuji would text!
Yes, absolutely! Also, to the rest of my inbox, I go beddy soon (the movie double feature was like 6 hours and I am exhausted) but I will get to the other asks TOMORROW, pinky promise. Headcanons below da cut as per usual. Goog nite.
Ryuji Goda
Decent at texting but his reply times are terrible. He often just forgets to check his phone. Even if he sees the notification, he's the type of person to think "Oh I'll reply to them soon" and forget because he feels in his brain as if he did already reply by just thinking about it. Sends lots of pictures of clothes, jewelry, and the like and asks what your opinions are on them. He knows what emojis are but can never decipher what emotion they are actually trying to convey. Absolutely not up to date on texting slang and tends to type pretty formally.
Ryuji: I meant to text back earlier but I ended up forgetting because I was so busy, my apoliogies.
You: (¬、¬)
Ryuji: Does that image mean you are mad at me or that you are happy to hear from me?
You: What do YOU think?! ⸨◺_◿⸩
Ryuji: Ah, the former then. That one is particularly scary looking.
Nishikiyama Akira
Probably the fastest texter of all the characters and the quickest to reply. He's usually good at being up to date on more modern things, at least better than Kiryu is. Flirtatious texter and most likely to send "You up?" texts. Totally loves sending you selfies when he's really feeling himself. Also sends pictures of really good views he finds, like from a rooftop in Kamurocho with a great view of the city lights.
Nishiki: Hey, check out the view from this restaurant.
You: Oh wow, very pretty.
Nishiki: It would be even prettier if you were here (。•̀ᴗ-)✧
You: Nishiki!
Nishiki: Lol, sorry, couldn't help myself ★~(◡ω◡✿)
Daigo Dojima
Primarily uses his phone for work so he's pretty quick to check notifications or respond to messages. Prefers phone calls as he can hear your voice and it makes for a nice break from all the other mundane calls or important emails at work. Rarely if ever sends pictures via text and selfies make him camera shy but if you're very close to him, you could totally twist his arm into participating. Surprisingly has a decent grasp on emojis.
You: How're you doing?
Daigo: Tired. Long meeting. ╥﹏╥
You: I believe in you! I'll treat you to dinner afterwards so do your best.
Daigo: Ah, that's very kind, thank you. I look forward to it. ( ◡‿◡ *)
Mine Yoshitaka
The worst texter. He's super dry in his responses, never uses emojis, and is very good at forgetting to check his texts. He mostly uses his cell phone for work so when he isn't work, he has notifications silenced. However, if you're very important to him, he will enable the buzzer on his phone so you can get through to him. In contrast, he's the best at taking pictures of you using a cell phone. Never has his phone out during meals as he doesn't want to be rude. Would prefer to video chat the most as it's the next best thing to actually seeing you.
You: Mine, are you even actually reading my texts?
Mine: Sorry, I was working out.
You: It's okay, you can make it up to me by sending me a post-workout selfie. ٩(◕‿◕)۶
Mine: You think you're funny, huh? Fine, just because I like you.
