‘Tis the season for Ugly Sweater competitions and I had a thought about the first years having a Ramshackle holiday party.
Sebek would seriously struggle with this. We know he takes pride in his appearance and strives to be well-groomed.
He also hates to lose.
The dilemma, the dilemma.
Ortho is doing his best to determine the parameters of such a subjective contest.
Ace is insulting Deuce who has a much uglier sweater than Ace does (Deuce and Epel finally got to use string lights on something). Jack’s sweater has a Christmas cactus. Grim is uninterested because there is no prize and he’s too busy scarfing down fruitcake.
Silver stops by Ramshackle looking for Sebek (because reasons) but accidentally wins because he is adorned with various sprigs of holly and bits of yarn and tinsel that the birds and squirrels have bestowed upon him on his way to Ramshackle. Or while he dozed under a tree somewhere. Or both.
Regardless, he beats Sebek at something with minimal effort (again!).

Got a second pair of warm gloves and the wintertodt fit is looking really clean now. There's a few days left on the Bond, so we'll probably be poking at it here and there. However it's about time we got back to leagues, So this is maybe the last time you'll see this account for a while.

Buy me a coffee
THIS HAS BEEN SITTING IN MY DRAFTS FOR LIKE TWO HOURS ASKING FOR THINGS IS LITERALLY MY WORST FEAR BUT FUCK IT WE BALL
my mum could really use £30-40 for groceries. We've spent a lot of money fixing stuff this month like replacement pipes and central heating (that really should be our landlord's responsibility..). She only has £150 left but we've still got bills to pay later this month so not much to spend on food and other necessities. Universal credit + her wage doesn't get paid until the end of the month (something is coming next week too but idr) 🥲
Usually we ask family and close friends for borrowing money but no one has been able to lend any aaa
No pressure to donate whatsoever — but if you have some extra money, any support would be greatly appreciated mwah <3

I just got back from a 3 week trip to Australia, mostly to visit my dad in northern NSW but with a few day stop off in Melbourne at the end specifically so that I could go see a Waterhouse painting at the gallery there.
Now friend, let me tell you about my heartache in poll form
so, yeah, I did not get to see Ulysses and the Sirens, and my world is a darker place because of it. It even made the dinosaur exhibition I saw afterwards a little less bright, and nothing should dim dinosaurs.

i know this probably won’t do much, let alone anything at all, but i’m sorry for the stress this site has caused you and so many other creators here. i’m not asking for you to stick around on here, but i hope you know just how meaningful you and your art have been on here. you’re amazing. /pos
Hey, this ask has done a lot more than you would think. Thank you, you are very sweet. <3
I've kind of made up my mind about what I'm gonna do for a while now, but I've simply been... too busy and overwhelmed to take the time to let you guys know. I'm not going to delete my tumblr, there's just. Too much here that I don't want to lose.
So far the game plan is: keep my tumblr. But do not upload anymore art or writing on it - not because it's gonna get scraped, because it was already getting scraped anyway, AI company deal or not. It's pretty much unavoidable at this point, unfortunately. I simply do not trust Tumblr with my data, if they're going to sell EVERYTHING, including private messages and such, so I'm not going to give it anything worthwhile to profit off of. Instead, I'm going to start uploading my art exclusively on Ao3, for now. I'll answer any asks I receive here on there too, as well. I'll figure some kind of system out. 🤔
The cool thing about uploading to Ao3 is that anyone subscribed to my profile or to the containment series I will make will get a notification anytime I upload something new. Having my art and writing in one place is likely going to be more convenient for you guys too, since you won't have to move across platforms to get the full experience. 😄It'll be different... but a platform getting too greedy for its own good won't stop me from finding ways to share my stories with y'all. I'll just find another solution.
(I've also been entertaining the idea of joining or making my own Discord server but. That one is a little more delicate. The idea of joining a server that has hundreds of members like a lot of this fandom's servers have, just. Makes me break into hives, lmao. (I am in the Ghost in the Machine fic server. I muted it an hour into joining, it was way too intense for me. |'D) That is way too many people, I simply cannot handle it. I'd be way more comfortable in a smaller group with a less rapid-fire rate of posting and conversation. I am also. Very picky about which servers I join, which makes asking for recommendations doubly awkward when I shoot them all down, haha... And making my own... Err, I can hardly keep up with a server I helped create for another fandom and mod for, I don't think I could handle two of them - I would need other people to handle the moderation for me, and I wouldn't trust just anyone to be a mod. I'd need to know them well enough to know I could trust them, and I... do not really know anyone in this fandom well enough to do that, sadly. I take server moderation very seriously, as someone who has had experience modding for forums back before social media was a thing. I do not know if that would make for a fun experience for everyone, and anyone who hasn't known that kind of supervised experience. It is comforting to me. It may be intimidating for others. So that's still a very hand-wavy, 'eehhhh' kind of thing still.)
All of this to say, that this isn't the last you'll see from me, far from it. I'll restrict my creative output to Ao3 for the foreseeable future, and I'll let you guys on here know when I make a new upload, so those of you who do not have an Ao3 account know when something new has happened.
So there you have it. 😊
