#my funky little dude is BACK!!!!!!!!

[escapetomerlegaritaville]

Genuinely buzzing over the new tamagotchi connection release! I can't stop looking at the shells. I downloaded the image onto my phone to show my friends with the intention of deleting it right after but I just keep staring at it. They're so pretty!!

Wish I could get the blue graffiti one on its own but it only come in a two-pack so I've gone for the 3rd one on the top row because I can't say no to transparent plastic and bright colours

Back at it again with another Fish Tank Question!

So I've got my tank (20 gallons) with a couple live plants that I'm more or less keeping alive. My current issue is that my job takes me out of the house for days at a time so I can't tend to the tank every day of the week. Whenever I come back, it's coated in algae, both on the glass and on the sand (white puffy algae for the sand, regular green-brown algae on the glass). I have three pygmy suckermouths (that I have uniformly named "the Janitors"), but they don't seem to be able to keep up with the mess that the eight other fish cause (all male mollies).

I can clean the tank every time I'm home for a couple days, and the filter changes weekly, but I don't want to make my poor fish wait in stinky, dirty water for that. So my question is: Are there other cleaner fish I could buy to help with this problem? Are the plants the issue? Any suggestions to at least prolong the cleanliness of the water?

I love nagas so much, it’s so fucking weird because I’m not a snake girly at all. (I touched one before tho! Not scared just not particularly interested) But I think about them, write about them, read about them and I’m just....

They make me so happy I can’t describe it ;;

Mine and my girlfriend's special interests are so funny to me bc I'm just like "hi I'm autistic and my special interest is dinosaurs uwu" and then you ask what her special interests are and it's like

The wreck of the Titanic

The Russian Revolution

The assassination of JFK

Unsolved murder cases from the 1800s

Part of a wip, but I thought it was cute enough to post on its own.

What are they lookin at?

[littledreamling]

Okay so a couple of days ago, I made a post about making an enjoyable afternoon out of scrolling through Neil Gaiman’s tumblr likes (and I stand by that; if you choose to do so, it will be an afternoon filled with wonder, education, laughter, and not a small amount of confusion as to why he’s liked certain things) and I made the joke that I wasn’t sure if he knew that his likes were public for the world to see (I partially stand by that too; I’m also pretty sure that he just recently learned about tagging, since I’ve never seen him tag anything up until that head pat ask, but I could be very wrong; he’s been on the internet longer than I’ve been alive), but I think there’s more to it than that.

I think he has his likes public for a reason, a very specific, very meaningful reason. You see, tumblr doesn’t have an algorithm. It’s one of the (many) things we tumblr users love about tumblr; it won’t collect your data, it won’t pander specifically to you (leading to an infamous reputation for downright yet hilariously horrible ads), and it sure as hell won’t spread your posts outside of your circle of followers (at least not until recently, though I have fully embraced the new tumblr tabs; they provide enrichment and new genetic material for my pool of mutuals). For the vast majority of us (roughly 98% of us), liking a post does absolutely nothing. Sure, it lets the author or artist know that you enjoyed their work, but it doesn’t spread the word, and tumblr’s entire function revolves around spreading the word. Liking is useless in that regard.

But for people like Neil Gaiman, who have a sort of power here (he’s our resident celebrity, a fact that never fails to make me smile because it means he’s the same sort of weird as us) (some of us, at least), who have a recognizable name and a massive fanbase and holds the adoration of countless, liking posts (and making those liked posts visible for anyone to see)… well, suddenly it starts to mean a little bit more. He doesn’t like a whole lot, sometimes just a few posts a week, sometimes even less, but scrolling through what he does like is a heartwarming experience (one that I fully encourage people to undertake themselves, paying particular attention to the number of notes that certain posts have) (no seriously, how does he find these posts sometimes?? they have single-digit note counts and he’s among the first to like completely untagged posts, it’s baffling) because they’re things that boil down to (what I can only assume to be) the essence of Neil Gaiman. They’re funny comics about reading. They’re gut-wrenching news articles about current global politics. They’re stories from fans about meeting him, or wanting to meet him, or not being able to meet him. They’re pictures of barbecues and famous actors and movie posters. They’re trans-positive and queer-supportive and riot-encouraging (because the first pride parade was a riot and queer means fuck you). They’re artworks done by fans featuring his characters and meta posts about his works and raving reviews about his shows. They’re wholesome and alarming and lighthearted and important. And for someone like Neil Gaiman, who uses his blog almost solely as a way to connect with his fans, as a way for his fans to be able to see him for who he is, making his liked posts public is… shockingly refreshing.

As a trans person, I have had many idols in my life, especially authors (*cough, cough, you know who I’m talking about*) who have written fantastic works but have let me down with who they are as people and their beliefs. Too many times have I dug deep into an author only to find that deep down, they’re just shitty people. Imagine my surprise when, as I dove down the rabbit hole of Neil Gaiman, unearthing everything he willingly offered to the public to find about him, all I found was support. All I found was righteous anger and encouragement and an all-encompassing compassion. All I found was Neil’s steadfast belief in me, in everything I am, in everyone like me who came before me and who will come after me, in my brothers and sisters and siblings, in my community. And above all else, I found love. For myself, for my community, and for the author who isn’t afraid to show up, to be loud, to put his money where his mouth is, to come to the defense of a community that (to my knowledge) he is not a part of, and to stand firm in his support even when he’s under fire for it.

So yes, his likes are public, because for him, it’s not about an algorithm. It’s not about spreading word or creating a ruckus or drawing attention. When Neil Gaiman likes posts, he is simply saying “I’m here. I hear you. I see you. I support you.” And he isn’t afraid to show the entire world that he does so. And I, for one, respect him as an author, as a personal inspiration, and as a human being all the more for it

here to say that any mike slander that i have and will post/reblog comes from a place of love. that kid is a douche and i love him for it. he's so horrible. i relate to him way too much. he's an absolute asshole and i hate his guts. i wanna be his best friend. he cares so much and it's the sweetest thing ever, but he also doesn't give a shit and it pisses me off. god he's so weird. i would die for him. congratulations to mike wheeler for making me feel the most confusingly about a fictional character i ever have in my life. he deserves the world but if he got hit by a truck i wouldn't be too upset.

also finn wolfhard is the absolute best, i adore him, any slander is mike-specific and has nothing to do with finn whatsoever /gen

reluctant cupid | lando norris social media au

pairing: lando norris x fem bff!reader

you could set your bestie up with a driver or you could confess your feelings? lando norris is dumb.

based on this request: Could you write something about being best friends with lando and he tries to help set you up with another driver you have a crush on, but then he realises he actually likes you so he has to sabotage all the wingmanning he’s done and you end up together Idk if that makes sense 😭🫶🏼🫶🏼 -@mbappesleftthigh

user20: HE ACTUALLY DID IT

user21: that moment when you're so down bad for a girl that you set her up with your best friend

user22: that moment when you're such a wimp you can't admit your feelings and set up the girl you like with a literal GREEK GOD

user23: i am so bamboozled by this move he literally looked like a kicked puppy on his stream bro this is your doing 😭

user24: she's a lover girl she's going to get her heart broken :(

user25: this has mess written all over it

user26: she's literally described herself as a terminal yearner i feel like she'll throw herself in and will get hurt

user27: UNLESS! this is all part of the plan? what if lando set her up with a messy guy like carlos so he can be the shoulder to cry on and that's how he slides in?

user28: that's very convoluted, very rom-com but i'll take it if it means we get lando and y/n together in the end

user29: i know this probably won't last long but can we all appreciate how hot this couple is?

user30: lando and y/n runs rings round y/n and carlos

user31: lol lando is a bad friend for setting her up with CARLOS him and charles are THEE red flags

user32: i hope y/n is prepared

user33: also lando hasn't thought it fully out if his plan is to be the shoulder to cry on because he's just opening her up to be called a homie hopper or a paddock bunny

i watched Scavenger's Reign and it unblocked the part of my brain dedicated to Rabbit Shenanigans a little bit so here's a stout baker and some light design fiddling with the goddess Katah from like 6 months ago.

seeing all the funky little dudes in that show just living their lives made me realize that i could go back and play in that world without stressing so much. i don't have to explain every single reason why something is the way it is if it isn't fun for me. i don't have to make a detailed lore post for every single sketch to justify the existence of a fucked up lil' creature. i can just vibe. so i went back to refine some creature designs and try to remember how to draw rabbits because WOW some of those old sketches are rough and or boring.

i hope the 5 Rabbit Enjoyers who still remember Downtrodden will enjoy the upcoming content :)
