A summer storm passing over the mountains near my house, too pretty not to share.

Btw, i saw a fic that gave Mandroid's full name as Atlas Meridian and at first thought it was canon. Please tell me it isn't. Tfwiki doesn't have anything after Home, part 2.

(I haven't seen the second batch, really i've barely seen anything because cartoons never come with subtitles, especially pirated ones. But i have pretty good idea about the first drop's events, the second one's only what i've accidentally "overheard" on tumblr. As far as i know it isn't even being translated to my native language either)

Okay so I know his last name is Meridian, but this is the first time I've seen any indication of a first name??

I always as a rule use subtitles, it's hard for me to watch a show without them because sometimes words can get a little jumbled for me, but not once did I see anyone refer to him with his first name??

They've only referred to him as "Dr. Meridian" or "Mandroid", afaik, so the first name Atlas might be some creativity via that mentioned fic's author.

I haven't been feeling good recently to make more complex and detailed drawings, so have some Kris Deltarune from Deltarune doodles, since I haven't drawn them in forever.

Kris Deltarune (haha) belongs to Toby Fox

"Would you tell me your story?"

This is the first proper art I've drawn of my OC Destiny in ages :0 She's....actually my first main OC lol but I can't seem to get her right so I always put drawing her off (Zoe and Raine get full illustrations haha). But I think I've really worked on my line art skills last year (especially after drawing so much of a certain silver-haired knight) and she's finally starting to look as she does in my head!

Basically, she's a being who wanders the worlds listening, reading and watching to the stories of the universe and recording them. She's like a personification of wisdom, so she's not in the least human. Funnily enough her appearance is fairly plain among my OCs - she's just this lady with dark hair and brown eyes wearing a dark dress. But her true form is...incomprehensible. Sometimes, if her facade slips, one may just glimpse the infinite cosmos and all its terror and beauty...

Now I just have to work on being able to draw her more and Alexandra right.

yknow i never noticed the sheer rareness of images having ids or alt text on this website until i started adding alt text to my art (and trying to remember to add it to any images i post in general, especially text screenshots) and that makes me kinda sad

Sometimes I wish we would start calling out the performative radicalism on this site for the poser bullshit it is. "Remember, it's always morally correct to kill a cop!" "Don't forget to firebomb your local government office!" "Wow, it sure would be a shame if these instructions on how to make a molotov cocktail got spread around!"

Okay. But you're not killing cops or firebombing government offices. You are posting on a dying microblogging website to a carefully-curated echo chamber that has radicalized itself into thinking that taking the absolute most extreme position on any subject is praxis but that anyone discussing the most practical way to effect actual change is your sworn enemy. You do not have the street cred OR the activist cred to be talking about killing cops, babe.

i used to be so good at writing strong, thoroughly-researched, thoroughly-edited essays.

as a kid in hs, my teacher literally came up to me, holding my 40 page essay on the intersection of the European witch hunts and capitalism/exploitation/gender roles (it was supposed to be 7 pages...whoops) and went like "this is literally a master's-degree level thesis. what are you doing?? you could literally use this as your final dissertation in a master's program, what the fuck."

NOW??? NOW?? you'd think I'd be oh so skilled. but alas. i can barely piece together two ideas. adhd skill-regression is so so real. im SOBBING

"internet historian's alt-right anyways" "great day to have never liked james somerton" "never even heard of illuminaughtii before this lol"

that's great buddy but don't go around thinking you're immune to this. if you're not looking for plagiarism, you likely won't notice it unless its egregiously obvious. hell, you've probably consumed plagiarized content without even realizing it. even hbomb pointed out that these people disguised what they presented pretty well as long as you didn't try and dig deeper. don't come away just thinking of this as a callout piece, take this as an important lesson about vetting your sources. if googling scripts in quotes was enough to expose the original, we should all start doing that shit!!

edit: it got a little too doomer-y a little too fast so one quick addition

this is hbomb's curated playlist of queer creators, many of whom were victims of plagiarism

this is producer kat on reddit calling for any more plagiarism discoveries and for queer content creators to be uplifted

please take some time to uplift these creators and recommend any you know! if you can help uncover more of the original creators whose work was lifted that would be great too :)

UPDATE- From Hbomb's twitter: "We're in the process of cataloguing everyone James Somerton plagiarised and finding their contact information. Which is quite a task, so to help us out: If you see this and happen to be one of the people Somerton stole from, please email us at contact@hbomb.zone"

can i say something. for years i thought the joke of the song short skirt/long jacket by cake was that he wanted a woman who was hung like a horse. like i thought when he says jacket it was a last-second fakeout because he very obviously meant to say cock. and the rest of the things in the song were just her personality and interests. which were secondary to her awesome penis
