god i wish i wouldn't have to explain the intricacies of the neopets economy to you guys to give the full context for this but. the new neopets team that took over from jumpstart pledged that they were going to curb the inflation of rare items, which is great because a lot of rare items are worth literally hundreds of millions of neopoints, they are unbuyable unless you've been playing actively for 20 years. they did this earlier with a site festival that included random loot boxes, some of which had Unbelievably Fucking Rare And Precious items worth 200 million neopoints apiece.

well.

today they have gone a step further. by releasing this year's trick-or-treat bags. and having the trick-or-treat bags be stuffed to the brim with unbelievably fucking rare stamps, weapons, paint brushes, defense magic, and other unbuyables. (all prohibitively expensive and in-high-demand types of items.)

jellyneo, the premier neopets website, has recorded prices of some items plummeting from 2,000,000 neopoints to 4,000 neopoints IN THE LAST THREE HOURS. this is when most people haven't even heard about the event or OPENED THEIR BAGS YET.

and of course. cherry on top. 20-year-old account holders are crytyping on the site events neoboard about how mean and cruel it is to make rare stamps part of the prize pool, because their entire identity hinges on being part of the neopian bourgeoisie, and they are having MELTDOWNS over their assets being devalued until they're part of the lowly proletariat.

this is a children's game for children btw.

none of the money is real.

i'm having such a good time.

i wonder if y'all even realize how little tumblr staff cares about the general userbase XD

literally don't even hide it, don't even try to XD

they know that people who are here for 5-10+ years won't leave, hence they don't give a fuck whatever you're comfortable or enjoying yourself.

maybe they'll care when the same userbase stops buying crabs and paying for fake twitter marks and ad-free dash :)

since the "new and infrequent users" sure as hell are not the ones buying those things. but hey. get money from the general userbase and only serve the "new and infrequent" users. right?

SAGAU but the reader/guide/creator/whatever you wanna call it has a broken fucking sense of humor so the second Cyno opens his mouth, they are just On The Floor Dying.

ed walking out and addressing his crew with a good old fashioned, stede-style "hi all" while he's freaking out about izzy quoting stede is so awesome. he's clearly doing so normal and good

Decided to take on designing a roughly TOS-era Starfleet uniform line-up, and had a lot of fun! They're what I wish TMP had going on instead of those horribly neutral-colored jumpsuits. I did like Kirk's admiral uniform tho, so I kept it. These are also the uniforms I've been using on my AU about captain Pike.

All three uniform options are unisex, including the skants. The dress uniforms are intentionally horrible. I also made it so you could tell the Medical division apart from others in Science. Medical is a subset of Science in Starfleet, but I think it would be useful for injured people to be able to tell on sight who are the doctors around the ship.

Only problem now is I can't get the words "starfleet scrubs" out of my head. Sounds like something Garak would say.

You guys did it! ^-^ Thank you so much!!!!!

My aunt, trying and failing to open a bottle of wine: I need a man!

Me, knowing she means a cis man: Why do you need a penis?

My aunt, offended I used the word penis: I need someone with upper body strength

Me: Gimme it. *opens it immediately with no problem*

Me: They/them for the win

Entire family: *transphobic confusion*

nooooo bc i was prepared for the explicit lyrics but I also wasn’t bc my jaw was dropped the whole time 🤭🤭🤭 like each line just kept getting better. And the whole mv was so freaking cute tho with him just following her like a puppy omg. He’s also just so beautiful like the hair 🫠 AND SOHEE TOO!! Each frame she just look even better 😩😩

I DIDN'T EVEN REMEMBER THERE WAS AN EXPLICIT VERSION I HAD LIKE A MINUTE TO BE PREPARED AND I ASSURE YOU I WAS NOT 😭😭😭😭😭😭

him following her around like a lost pup was so cute for me but now i've heard the explicit version and there's just not looking back for me. that mv has got a whole new meaning now and i am all about it. screaming, but all about it.

[ID: In what follows, we first position Shameless within the larger culture of LGBTQ+ representation on television and film. Next, we show how Shameless’ depiction of Ian, and the men with whom he forms romantic relationships, exemplifies the incompleteness of contemporary queer acceptance. To do so, we focus on an important dimension of incompleteness: showing a disdain for gender non-normativity, especially effeminacy (Connell 1995). Showing contempt for effeminacy in the Shameless universe, we argue, is illustrated through the social psychological process of“distancing” (Kusenbach 2009; Siegel, Lune, and Meyer 1998). More specifically, Ian, Mickey, Trevor, and Caleb (Ian’s romantic interests) use violence (threats of violence and actual violence) and sex to distance themselves from effeminacy. end ID]

SCREAM literally what did i say

we'd been hearing rumors about this for a bit but now its open and out there. some details from this article

it goes without saying, but if @staff goes through with this its going to be an utter shitshow and im all but certain the website will not survive it.
