#or deleting your messages to them

[bcbdrums]

Once upon a time, if a person wanted to communicate with another person, they picked up a telephone receiver and manually input a memorized or handwritten phone number. Then they waited as the phone rang. Sometimes a person answered, sometimes they did not. Sometimes there was an answering machine to leave a message, and sometimes there was not. And you may later hear from the person, or....you may not!

The internet and modern technology have created a massive, toxic lie.

You...yes, you reading this...do not have free, anytime access to people at your demand.

If you text/DM/email/call whatever a person, and they don't reply immediately, that's fine! In fact if they never reply, that's fine!

But, but — they posted on their social media. But but — I see their "status light" shows they're available online. But but — they spoke with someone else.

Does not matter. Their life is their life. You are permitted into it if and when that person allows.

That's it. That's literally it. There's nothing else to it.

fanart for This Is Not The End by @kings-highway

potentially my favourite fic ever!! <3

[artistformerlyknownasbutttrumpet]

what do you MEAN the app that has spent the past several years teaching children to willfully surrender their right to freedom of speech by curating a censored environment to appease The Algorithm™️ is being controlled by the government and is being used as fascist propaganda, using tr*mp as a figurehead? who could have ever predicted this series of events?

oh well! at least we still have access to our silly videos that are definitely not being filtered in any way to market any kind of fascist agenda. crisis averted! 🤗

I'm so happy I downloaded all of the Kaishin fanfics on A03... (｡-_-｡)

Yokai to Human Form Tidbit

Ok so there's human designs/ forms for Caspian's yokai friends 1, for fun, and 2, cause there's some situations where it's convenient/just better to have some in human forms (EX: Whisper coming to Caspian's choir concerts and conferences bc his parents are. fairly absent). Everyone has their own opinions on it and stuff and in this post I'ma talk about Baddinyan's!!

So fun little fact he does Not Like being human. This is mostly for body dysphoria adjacent feelings, like all of a sudden he has different hair, no fur, different ear placement, etc. The 'phantom limb' thing tends to happen with his tails, too, which is trippy and kinda uncomfortable. He also hates that a lot of his senses are dulled. smell, hearing, sight (especially in the dark), it makes everything feel kinda hazy and causes him to be a lot more stressed about everything.

Idk maybe I just think it's kinda funny to see a character thrown into a whole new form and reasonably be like. what. the hell this sucks. His easygoing (nice way of me saying his lazy ahh) and usually pretty chill/surprisingly level-headed mood is def worsened when he's constantly feeling skin that doesn't technically belong to him. A form he shouldn't really have.

As a result, he's oftentimes irritable and anxious in this form, with some days being better than others. He typically avoids having to use it unless he needs to though, and refuses to take his glasses off for anything. Has to be bribed with a Chocobar to enma forbid go out in public. He's also less used to it than most due to his extreme aversion to it. He just hates it and everything is physically gross and cloudy and nothing's in the right place and he can't explain why.

Badude, on the other hand, doesn't mind being human! It feels more similar to his body than it does for Baddinyan, and is kind of a fun change of pace every now and then. He's Baddinyan's like. closest friend besides Caspian in this AU, so he's typically who's convincing him to not kill everyone in the room and/or take off the stupid leaf in public lol. Their convos can sometimes go like

"C'mon, it's just until we get outta the store. Don't get your non-existent tails in a twist-"

"Shut up and do nyot remind me right nyeow."

"(Oh it's like. that kind of day whoopsies) Mbmb, we can ditch these nerds and go look at the candy isle or somethin' for a bit..?"

He stinks at comforting people or anything like that but tries. Sometimes. idiots

I'm working on references, but all I have to say about their designs for now is vitiligo Black-Mexican Baddinyan and Mexican-Japanese Badude CANON!!! See you for now! :) Have a radtastical day out there, don't implode or get rocks thrown into your inbox!! (again for some of you...)

[kaaaaaaarf]

Has anyone else just felt haunted by an inexplicable sadness/emptiness these past few weeks or just me? 😶‍🌫️

[greennoobartist]

Hey! It's Lily again. I've been noticing that you're stressed about posting your 4 swords au (Oh, I really hope that doesn't come off as weird), but I'll have you know I hate the number 4. Because of this, I decided that I strongly, STRONGLY, hate four from the linked universe and just that Link in general. That small part of your au made me look more closely at four, and while I'll never get over how much I despise that number I can learn to love four. So, even if you don't post any more of your story, It's already changed my perspective.

Sorry for the long rant, just thought you should know.... (Sorry if this way kinda weird, if it were me I'd just wanna see someone appreciate my work)

Don't worry, it doesn't sound weird, it's just touching... Why do i always cry when I get such asks??

I feel bad for your experience with number 4, but Four from LU is a nice guy. Out of all of the boys i think he might be the one to receive the most respect so far how i saw. I feel bad that you made a prediction about him bcuz of the number before actually getting to know him.

When it comes to my work, any drawing any tidbit of a story, i overthink it for like several hours before hesitantly posting it. Unfortunately im a high overthinker so posting my work usually goes over a 5 hour process in deciding whether to or not. Im usually not indecisive, it's just doubt and kinda fear ig.

Idm the long rant, i always love to listen to other ppls stories. I can't believe that that small part of my story could ever have such an impact. I am now working on Ao3 to make a collection and post at least the 1st chapter tho even ao3 hates me so im doing the process again and again cuz it gets deleted. I already saw that two friends of mine like it quite a lot and im glad that my AU even had such an impact on someone.

It's just my self doubt and overthinking that make everything harder for me, but I'm already working on posting it so im not planning to stop now.

Idk if you're interested in continuing to read it since it's based on Four Swords, but im glad that you appreciate my work. Ill post the link here once I get it done, so if you want i can tag you so you can see it if you want.

Thank you for letting me know, i think it speeded up the process. I mean like i think it made me overthink it a bit less and that it's gonna be sooner since the amount of doubting is a but smaller now.

Thank you for letting me know. I appreciate it ❣️ (literally left crying but it's positive dw)

Sometimes, for like. The absolute Briefest of moments, I genuinely wonder how tf people manage to misgender you So Frequently when your header is pretty much Just your pronouns.

Then I remember I'm a transfem on the internet and it suddenly makes the shittiest-possible sense -_- I'm sorry you deal with that so often

~♡

Idk why but there's been a HUGE uptick in it!! You guys don't even see all the super transphobic asks, because I'm not gonna subject you guys to that, but there's a lot of them and they kinda fuck me up sometimes. People are wayyyy too comfortable demanding the intimate details of other people's identities on the internet 😭

I think if a company lets you apply to their job through a dedicated job site (Indeed or w/e), and then messages you to inform you that, ACTUALLY, you need to go to a second site and apply there for the application to Actually Count, we should be able to steal $200,000 from the CEO's bank accounts each time.

[yxstxrdrxxm-a]

Just a reminder with asks to not send me any if it's for another person. I'll delete it if you do. I'm not your messenger, even if my blog theme (right now) is one.

Thanks.

[skeletoninthemelonland]

Just a small announcement. I’ll be mass deleting asks and restarting all over.

If you have asks related to Behind The Codes, please send them here. 

I apologize for the delay!

Anon you are welcome to research every OP you reblog but I do not have that kind of time. Reblogging someone, listening to someone’s music, watching them act in a show, etc are not signals that you believe in their entire worldview, it simply means the thing you reblogged, or listen to, or watch, spoke to you in a moment in time. Moral purity isn’t real, and is unreasonable to expect in anyone including yourself.
