#reblogging because yes

I love seeing people call whatever is going on between Astarion and Gale as "toxic old man yaoi."

Because if you told them about it, Gale would look sad and say, "Toxic is a bit of a strong word. Everyone in this group has their own issues and-"

Meanwhile, the 200+ year old vampire shaking with rage behind him would shriek, "OLD?!?!?!"

So, just curious how many writers and creators will have to be forcibly outed by relentless harassment before we acknowledge that "This queer characters was written by a cishet person and that's why they're bad" is not good criticism.

Apparently much-needed reminder that reposting artists' art (by saving the images or screenshotting them and reuploading them yourself) on other platforms without the artists' expressed permission and without credit is theft and an insult to their passion and craft. You are profiting (in views, in attention, in feedback) from someone else's work and ideas, who do not get that feedback for sharing their creation.

If you are an art reposter, you are a thief and I have no respect for you.

i don't know how to tell aros on tumblr but you can make posts about appreciating friends without implying that people who don't love their friends are wrong or weak or evil or romance obsessed allos

Ghost surprisingly is a cuddler but in the sense that you are a well loved teddy bear he puts in a chokehold every night and does not let go until he’s awake

Phil: [Echoing voice] One of the OGs!

TTS: Keep going with your Spanish lessons, you're doing great and the hispanic crows appreciate that so much!

Phil: Thanks mate. Yeah I started it like, I mean– [Leans over to check something] I think I'm on like a 300+ streak now, but I started it like, around abouts the time that like, Big Q was doing his Spanish streams and stuff. I just would listen to his Spanish streams in the background, and just like, try and figure out what he was saying, 'cuz like– I was trying to think, "Well, if he says– if he's- if he's playing Minecraft, I can kind of like, understand a little bit of what he's saying." And then he was doing stuff like Karmaland and all that stuff, right, and I was like, "I think he said 'Fck you, my- it's my TNT.' Did he say- no–" and then I was like, "Did he say this?" [Laughs]

Phil: I was just basically have it as just noise in the background. [Laughs] I kind of like, understood it- what- what it was when he was like, saying things like, "No way!" or like "I'm the best!" things like that, like... Like, I would get– I would understand kind of what he was saying when he was poppin' off, and I just– yeah.

Phil: It was just like, good to have in the background. It was just something to listen to, and just kind of like... you know, hear it more? I guess? Without, you know, watching a television show. Big Q was my TV show.

🐙🔍 Dicyemida ~ 19

🦪🔍 Orthonectida ~ 12

🐴✂️ Nematomorpha ~ -37

The top 3 phyla are Arthropoda, Chordata, and Mollusca!

This means Arthropoda, Chordata, and Mollusca will be moving on to Round 2, and broken up by Class (or some other phylogenetic equivalent).

But that’s not all!

After Round 2, we will have an extra Round 2.5, featuring every other phylum that received over 1,000 points! This will give some of the more highly ranked phyla a second chance to move on, and make Round 3 a little more interesting.

Round 2.5 will include Cnidaria, Platyhelminthes, Tardigrada, and Ctenophora.

(Unfortunately, I can’t include Onychophora as it only contains 2 families without class or order ranking, so I will have to preemptively move them forward to Round 4 ¯\_(ツ)_/¯)

To give myself enough time to queue up polls, Round 2 will begin November 1st.

See you then!

Anyone: Hey, you alright?

Me, internally experiencing a change in brain chemistry: Who's Billy? We'll be partners till they put us in the fucking ground. Know no shame. What the fuck did you do to that? I cooked it. You absolutely did not. Let me tell you a story. Tell your governor, you tell him I'm coming. So we dance the dance. Never was there a Caesar who couldn’t sing the tune. Is that the truth? We might be friends by then. Whoever tied this bandage was either blind or drunk. I think both. They took everything from us. And then they called me a monster?! The moment I sign that pardon, the moment I ask for one - I proclaim to the world that they were right...this ends when I grant them my forgiveness, not the other way around. I am your King. This isn't what I wanted. I recognise you. Do you recognise me? You fucking lied to me! Of course I lied! Fruit, fruit. Tits, tits. You must know this. You’re too smart not to know this. It's done, wouldn't you agree? You did do all those things. If he were here, he would agree with me! Everyone is a monster to someone, since you are so convinced I am yours, I will be it. In the end, that's all I want. To walk away from the sea and find some peace.

Me: Not bad, thanks yeah. You?
