The eras tour

Charles leclerc x reader

[SMAU]

Face claim gracie abrams (again)

Summary going to Paris night 1 with Charles is a lot of fun, with a lot of surprises.

Word count -

Warning hate (just a few comments), spelling errors, not proofread

A/N saw a post saying someone should make this… so I did! I saw the tour on a crappie live stream so I know what was going on… I will also go to the tour!

It’s not the longest but also not the shortest. But I like it!

Also I had no motivation to make the things I am currently making so I decided to make a quick smau (that’s why it is only insta and no other apps)

Don’t forget to comment, repost and give feedback! It helps a lot!

y/n y/l/n - okay, serious post for a bit. I am all for memes, as y’all know I often spend time simply reposting them onto my account, but some of these memes have gone too far. Memes are no longer funny when they’re impacting the mental health of the subject of the memes. Please think about the person behind the screen.

Also precious Phil

14.50 okay the editing kinda memes his monologue a bit but i was high key inspired. He’s so wrote. Everything is a story that must be concluded. I love that thought process. Clearly bc I am also a grade a yapper but still

[fyeahaudiodrama]

Any tips for staying connected with your audience and reaching new listeners during a long break when you don't have new content to post about?

P.S. very excited for Act 2!!

Ooh, let’s see…

1. Reduce, Reuse, Recycle

It’s always morally acceptable to repost your old content again. In this day and age when social media platforms try to bury anything that isn’t new and shiny, you have no concept of who saw your new thing in the first place, or if your new followers have seen it, or if everyone who did see it even had context for it the first time. So put the things you already made out there again!

2. #Aesthetic #Goals

Keep up with reblogging things that relate to your show’s general vibes. Share gifsets from movies or quotes from books that helped inspire your show or troll through the tag of your characters favorite foods or slap some together in a moodboard. Just keep the vibe going.

3. The End

Advertise specifically based on the fact that you currently have completed season(s). Some people want to wait until there’s a whole bunch of something to binge or are more comfortable listening when there’s already a whole thing. You can also submit shows with finished seasons/series to The End to be featured in their newsletter.

4. Non-Spoilers for Fun & Profit

Get publicly excited about your own production process. Share bits from your script out of context, post a vague “I just wrote that part 😬,” keep a running total of production goals accomplished. Give both audiences and yourself a sense of how much you’ve done already, so that neither of you forget how much work goes into a season.

5. Ethical Stealing

See something fun another audio drama blog is doing? A funny joke or meme format? Do that too! People are generally cool with copying things for social media, especially if you give them a little shoutout, and you can always ask someone “Hey, is it okay if I also do this?” if you’re unsure.

6. Sharing is Caring

Try doing feed or promo swaps with other shows whose audiences might crossover well with yours! It helps keep your own RSS feed active, and helps build relationships across shows.

Okay, that’s about all for now, go support Starfall kthxbai

Post-Fall Falls False Starts- Chapter 1: The Escape

First Chapter [you are here!] | Next Chapter

It was the seventh day of the post-apocalypse, but to an outsider, it might have looked like the thirtieth day or even the seventh month.

A menagerie of floating, misshapen objects rolled against a TV static sky, and below that layer of miscellany was a layer of floating islands, cracked pieces of the world that had once been superimposed over the depressing parallel realm but was now indistinguishable from it. Towards what had once been the town center, the sounds of fisticuffs echoed outwards 24/7. People- well, the residents of this world, who called themselves people- smashed, burned, and fought each other because they could- this was the apocalypse, it was what any sensible society ought to do in the event of an apocalypse! It was their right.

Traditional currency had been ousted and replaced by gold, only for gold to be ousted two days later via mob vote and replaced by anything. Businesses that refused to accept trade deals faced the wraths of the townsfolk, and businesses that accepted trade deals also faced the wrath of the townsfolk. Wrath was difficult to avoid. The lonely dimension, which had seemed like a dark and cold place to the only one who remembered it from before the collapse, was now up in flames, some literal, some emotional.

On the fifth day of the apocalypse, the-one-who-remembered-it realized he was starting to get hungry.

The junkyard was far enough from the town center to ensure he could avoid the angry atmosphere. That was for the better. This hadn't even begun to blow over. If he were to confront his former students- no! his former classmates- now, surely there would be fresh wounds to deal with. It was tempting, more tempting than he wanted to admit, to put on a smug face, walk right into the middle of a riot at what used to be the middle school, and say, "I told you so." What would they do? What could they do? They couldn't get their precious lives back! They had squandered them! But they could beat him up, and in fact they did beat him up for much less only seven days earlier. And so he stayed in the warehouse in what was left of the junkyard and scraped the bottom of his last can of beans with a piece of metal that was almost spoon-shaped if he squinted. He didn't even like beans. He had bought them to feel like a real prepper the day he saw all this coming for the first time.

"Oh, well," he thought. "Here goes nothing, I guess."

He let out an angsty sigh, crushed the can beneath his foot- which was, to his momentary annoyance, a lot harder than it looked on TV- and got up, heading across the desolate landscape towards the distant scent of fire and chaos.

Somebody had vandalized the town's welcome sign, which now hung from just one of its tether points and read,

"Welcome to NO-more

Population EVERYBODY"

Had there been some sort of agreement to change the town's name from Elmore to No More while he was away, or was the change simply a stroke of genius by the one who had messed with the sign? Either way, he found himself almost- but not quite- smiling at it. It was the sort of reaction you would have to the fourth repost of a meme you liked a decent amount the first time. It wasn't funny enough to be funny, and yet part of him wanted to laugh.

He tossed a rock at the sign, trying to knock it to the ground in an act of rebellion fueled by aimless rage, but he rather anti-climactically missed. One short survey later to make sure nobody saw his shame, he turned on his heel and headed for the smoldering wreckage of the local shopping mall, where rock music blared and an announcer whose voice he recognized as the local news anchor- Kip something?- called out the hastily-conceived epithets of fighters as they entered the ring.

"Next up, it's, well, it's that guy-"

The blue triangular guy at the edge of the makeshift wrestling ring made a garbled noise that, unfortunately for the audience, had no subtitles. He seemed angry. For just a moment, the-one-who-remembered-it (it being the TV static dimension before it combined with Elmore proper, of course, though now that topic had come and gone) found himself mentally kicking himself for paying more attention to the fight than to his purpose here. His eye fell upon the audience, darting from one person to another until he caught sight of a green, blocky-looking man in a business suit and horned motorcycle helmet chewing on some sort of unfamiliar- but still mouthwatering- drumstick. He pushed aside a few people (which was probably fine in the apocalypse, right?) and stood next to him, trying to put up a pretense of watching the fight. A minute or so later of waiting for the triangle's opponent to show up, he turned to the man.

"Hey," he said in his first social interaction since everything he knew collapsed.

"Hmm? What?" replied the man over the cacophony.

The-one-who-remembered-it inhaled sharply.

"Hey, where'd you get that, uh-"

"This helmet? I glued the horns from a halloween headband to my-"

"No!" The-one-who- no, Rob, his name was Rob- snatched the drumstick away and brandished it in his face. "This! Where would I get one of these?"

"F-from me!" stuttered the green guy.

"WHERE DID YOU GET YOURS?"

"Give it back!"

"Tell me and I'll give it back, alright?"

"Parking garage, second floor, can't miss it," said the green guy as he grabbed his lunch back from a frustrated Rob.

"Thanks. Was that so hard?"

"Come again?"

"Never mind."

Rob let out a labored breath as he hopped over the gap between the island most of the mall was on and the island the car park was on. It was quieter out here and Rob's internal monologue no longer had to scream for him to hear himself think. Second floor, huh?

He noticed that one of the elevators was on fire and the other one had its doors stuck open on what looked like a sheer drop into darkness. Neither of them would do, and so he heeded the age old prophecy: "IN CASE OF FIRE, USE STAIRS". The stairs themselves were, as it turned out, crumbling behind a squeaky door, and he suspected that perhaps the structural instability wasn't even the fault of the apocalypse. Even so, he walked up under flickering fluorescent lights that must have been so dedicated to their jobs that they kept working without electricity and found himself on the second storey, overlooking abandoned cars and trucks alike, wondering for a moment whether he was missing the supposedly-unmissable. And then he saw it: a red van- no, the red van- illuminated poetically by the only light in the room that was still at full power! He ran to it like an old friend and the window of the driver's seat slid down, a pair of glowing eyes peering out.

"Good evening, young one. How may our humble shop assist-"

"Drop the act, dude! You got food in there, right?"

"...Yes. But it will cost you."

Right, there was no way he'd get anything for free.

"Okay, okay. How much?"

"That depends entirely on how much food you want."

"How much would, say, a drumstick cost?"

"We're all out. My apologies."

"All out. Can I see what it is you do have in there?"

There was a rustling noise and a shadowy hand held out something that looked like the cloven-hoofed leg of some unknown animal.

"This is all we have."

"I-"

Rob tried to think over the idea of eating that thing and found he liked the idea of starving considerably better at the moment.

"That'll be 50 bucks."

Rob choked on his own spit.

"No way that thing is worth 50 bucks, old man!"

"We also accept trade deals. And gold!"

"C'mon," said Rob, clasping his hands together and speaking in the best friendly tone he could muster. "You and I go way back. Couldn't you do a guy a solid? It's the end of the world."

"You think we're friends? You stole from me when we first met!"

"I could not let that thing into the wrong hands!"

"YOUR hands were the wrong hands, considering you destroyed our merchandise without paying for it."

"Oh, you have no idea." Rob chuckled, rage boiling just behind his attempt at being amiable. The shadowy shopkeeper raised an eyebrow.

"Your plan didn't work, I gather?"

"No. They didn't listen to me."

"I warned you of the dangers of hubris when you bought those machines."

"It wasn't even my hubris, was it? It was theirs!"

"I never said whose hubris it was going to be."

Rob made an exasperated noise.

"If you want the machines back, they're over at the school in one of the admin offices," Rob offered, hoping that the office in question hadn't caved in yet. "Take 'em back and we'll be even, considering the seventy thirty-five I paid. Then you could use the extra money to give me a free whatever-that-is."

"Do you genuinely want this thing?" asked the shopkeeper with a wave of the mystery meat.

"No. Well, not right now, but one of these days I'm going to get really hungry. Cyclopes eat people," he added, as if trying to psych the shopkeeper out. "Who knows what I might resort to?"

"No offense, but, young man, you seem like the sort of guy who wouldn't eat a grilled fish if it had the head still on."

Rob huffed and turned around, hands on his hips, unable to deny the accusation without falling into the bad graces of his one current shot at getting a meal. After several calming breaths he faced back to the shopkeeper, was immediately met with the urge to throttle him, and took a step back to prevent the unfortunate altercation from coming to pass.

"I'll give you a bear trap and a crowbar in exchange for that leg thing."

"Two bear traps."

"I- I don't have two bear traps!"

"No deal, then."

"AUGH-! Let me in there! I want to take a look at your cheaper merchandise!"

The van doors slid open and Rob found himself in the familiar, unsettling atmosphere of the curio shop on wheels once again. He looked over a glowing skull with gemstones for eyes, an issue of a magazine called "TIME of your death", a washing machine that looked deceptively normal, a pedestal that held an impossible triangle.

"Five minutes 'til closing time," said the driver.

"Since when does this place have a closing time?"

"Since we started having to go stock and restock food."

"Oh, that makes-"

Rob's eye widened. The word 'sense' never left his mouth, because he realized it didn't make sense. Where could the driver possibly be going? Where was the food he was selling coming from? Where did any of his artifacts come from? Well, that last question wasn't as important at the moment.

"That makes?"

"Where exactly do you find this food?"

The driver grumbled.

"Far from here."

"Be less vague or I'll kill you again!"

He reached into his backpack and moments later brandished his crowbar in the shopkeeper's face with shaky hands.

"Again?"

"No, no, don't worry about that. We were talking about where you get your food."

"Far from-"

Rob swung and missed, the shopkeeper darting out of the way just in time.

"No! No more cryptic answers! Tell me where!"

He almost saw a bead of sweat run down the shadow man's face. Was it just a trick of the light, or had Rob actually managed to intimidate him? Of course he had, he thought! He was an intimidating guy. Rob found himself full of new confidence and would have pumped his fists if he wasn't in a tense stare-off with the mysterious pair of eyes in front of him.

"Fine, kid, from other universes."

"Like the real world?"

"No, no, I don't go to the real world all willy-nilly. That's something I would only ever do for a hefty sum. Other fake universes."

Rob lowered the crowbar.

"Take me with you," he said. "I'll never bother you ever again. You can leave me in another universe. Just- please, man. Please, I can't stay here!"

"Twenty bucks," deadpanned the shopkeeper with a biting glare.

"Fifteen bucks and a bear trap."

"Fifteen bucks and two bear traps."

"Fifteen bucks, a bear trap, and a crowbar."

"Is it a cursed crowbar?"

Rob almost considered lying and saying yes, but he shook his head, forlorn, the seed of a new idea growing in his head.

"No deal, young man. If you'll excuse me, it's closing time."

Rob sighed and smiled and stepped out of the van.

"Thanks anyways."

"For what?"

"For giving me the time of day."

"Don't mention it."

The van doors closed. Rob's face was placid, and as far as the shopkeeper was concerned his spirit was broken. Why else would anyone accept their fate so calmly? He had pepper spray at the ready in case the boy had put up a fight, but he hated the idea of using it on someone who could be a paying customer (albeit not a well-paying one, right now, in this economy). It was all the better that he had gone willingly and, presumably, thought to himself, 'it was worth a try'. That was why he was smiling, right? If the boy had some sort of other plan, it wasn't immediately obvious to him what that could be, and so he put the idea out of his head, setting his GPS to a coordinate elsewhere in the multiverse and starting the engines.

As far as Rob was concerned, he was about to do the opposite of accepting his fate. In fact, he would cheat it yet again. That was his specialty.

The van wasn't even moving fast yet! It would be a cinch! This time he could get a good grip!

As it started to pull away, he cracked his knuckles and took one last look out the car park window at the static sky. He stuck out his tongue at no one in particular. If the universe could see him, it would surely be seething.

"Goodbye," he said to the same no-one-in-particular, and then he ran and he clung to life for the second time.

Refaat Alareer taught life

Article text:

The inspiring writer and educator Refaat Alareer has been assassinated by Israel. (Via Instagram) 

I remember how Dr. Refaat Alareer entered the classroom.

He immediately put a few books on the desk. They included Gaza Writes Back – a collection he had edited – and Rifqa by Mohammed El-Kurd.

Dr. Refaat always carried them around. They were a part of his identity, as a reader, writer and storyteller.

He introduced himself, said a few things and told a few jokes. He listened to what we had to say, then took Gaza Writes Back in his hands and started to read aloud.

His face lit up; his eyes opened wide.

He really captured the essence of “Omar X,” a story by Yousef Aljamal.

Dr. Refaat told us that he recently bought a car. The worst part about doing so was that he couldn’t listen to the stories of taxi drivers in Gaza any more.

“I could spend hours just looking at beautiful sentence structures or reading stories,” he said, smiling.

Another favorite hobby of his was making memes. He encouraged us to be similarly creative.

My first impression of Dr. Refaat was that he was different in a good way. His enthusiasm was real.

I had never been able to concentrate properly during a three-hour lecture until I attended one of his.

He taught me creative writing.

He taught me poetry.

He taught me Shakespeare.

He had a profound connection with modern plays and poems and taught them in a funny and interactive way.

Encouragement

When I remember Dr. Refaat Alareer, I don’t just remember him as someone who worked at the university. He was someone who taught life.

He was my friend. Someone I looked up to – like a father.

Even in the darkest of times, he would check on me and other students. He told us that if we needed anything, please let him know.

The last time he texted me via WhatsApp was on 27 November.

He reproached me for not publishing anything since the beginning of Israel’s genocidal war on Gaza. And he encouraged me to write.

On 3 December, The Electronic Intifada published an article I wrote titled “World shrinks for Gaza’s children.” I sent Dr. Refaat a link to it but I wasn’t sure if he saw my message.

I have subsequently learned, though, that he reposted a link to the article on Twitter. When I saw that, I couldn’t help but cry.

You believed in me, Dr. Refaat.

You believed in the strength of words.

You told us, “If I must die, you must live to tell my story.”

You always gave me confidence and strength.

I was over the moon when you asked me to deliver a class when you were sick.

I remember when you edited my first story and said, “I see a writer in you.”

You always paid attention to the details.

You shared my first published story on a WhatsApp group before I had even told you it was published. “Good job, Mahmoud,” you said.

You made me a writer.

You were the best teacher I ever had.

I will always be proud to have been one of your students.

I miss your lectures.

I miss the comments you wrote on the right hand margins of our papers.

My eyes filled with tears while I was writing these words. But I wiped them away and continued writing.

You are not dead, Dr. Refaat.

I promise that I will always write.

I will fight with my pencil and my poems.

I will never forget how much you brought to my life.

You will always be my inspiration.

Saw your post and am going with the method of aggressive kindness.

You know when I think of JO fanart I think of you right? When I picture Jure's little cat smile I think of your kitty mouths? You have a very noticeable style and holy shit you draw quick and a fuck tonne!! I adore everything you make and if you have no fans it means I'm dead.

I get wanting them to see your work. They get hundreds of tags every day and Nace is the only one who actually reposts shit. We can't say how they feel looking at it. Maybe they share it with the others or really really enjoy it but don't repost for whatever reason. We can't assume they don't like it at all just because they don't share it.

It's pretty special they even do look at it, they don't have to be as involved with their fans as they are. I get being jealous and wondering why other people get shared and not you but that's not a reflection of the quality of your work. I dunno why they share some and not others but there's no point trying to guess cause we'll never know.

Your brain is dumb and sometimes it's just gonna be dumb. I value you a lot and your art and look forward to maybe meeting you in the queue and getting a sticker and being like "aaaaah holy shit I have a dope ass sticker ahhhhhhhhhh"

This message is so old I wouldn’t put it past you if you’d forgotten even sending it.😅

I didn’t get around to reply to it then but since I have a similar day today I will do it now.

The first paragraph still makes me tear up sometimes it is so freaking sweet 😭. Especially the part about Jure’s smile 🥹. I feel like I’ve lost the drive to make art quickly (I say knowing full well I drew six sketches for the fanart meme this weekend) and that was my entire thing as an artist as some point: Not being the best but at least being quick. Now I’ve seen way more people quicker than I that keeps up the quality, so I am not sure if that point still stands with me being quick and productive. Never the less I still really appreciate these words <3

The next part is funny to read back on since I did end up being blessed by Nace in the end – twice in a row 😱😭. I’m still probably insufferably happy about that and he owns part of my heart for all he does for the fandom, I mean as you say yourself he (and the others) doesn’t have to be involved yet he chooses to be. And that’s pretty special for sure.

I hope you still enjoy the sticker. It was so nice meeting you in the queues and so happy you had a great time in Europe and at their gigs (and that you got your drumstick(s)). 🤗

[sumikatt]

frankly, i think your point about "some people train their own AI art models" is inherently flawed because rhe vast majority of people are not training their own model. they are paying for a service which was trained on art that was taken from the internet and used without permission in order for a machine to try snd recreate something similar bit by bit. i havent gotten a commission from someone who isnt a friend of mine in well over a year because people are just choosing to generate art with AI. i dont think AI art isnt "real" art because yeah, i agree with you, the whole idea of real art or not is complex. however, it is an undeniable reality that AI is trained on the work of artists all over the world who do not even get asked for permission before a tech company makes money off of their hard work.

I agree it’s a small, small portion of people making their own models that ensure that all art involved is used with consent. Many people buy a subscription or credits to generate what they want. Most people probably use free credits on Discord to make a meme or anime girls. Many people use it many different ways, yes.

I’m sorry you’ve lost a client over it. I know commissions are hard. Freelancers without dedicated clients would be the ones to suffer most from the popularity of AI art. I can’t say I’ve felt the impact myself, since it’s also very popular to be anti-AI.

Actively searching through job boards, I also feel like it has barely affected those listings. Maybe one of like 300 art jobs in the USA/Sweden asked for AI experience (Prompt Artist), and it was an AI startup. The “normal” art jobs like UI/UX, Environments, Materials, Concept, Technical, Animator, etc all still asking for 3 years experience for entry level lmao. Saw an intern position that required an “industry-standard” portfolio. So still a pain as it was before advanced AI gen.

Many paid AI art services have takedown options for their training sets and can block names from being prompted. If you were a popular enough artist to be in a training set, you can remove it and block the majority of AI art users from copying you—like you said, a majority of people use these services instead of self-hosting.

(Sending DMCA takedown requests are actually pretty easy. I had to send one to an old teacher who reposted my art and a bunch of classmates’ art on her ArtStation. that was funny lol)

I’m not sure how I felt when I went to search up my art on haveibeentrained. Because I’m a nerd, I’d preemptively blocked scrapers on my portfolio, so nothing was there when I looked. Searched up my legal name, my old Twitter (which had some popular pieces), my old DeviantArt usernames. Nothing there, either. I was probably pruned from the set for being low-quality. Kinda funny, I thought I’d be good enough to include at least once. Maybe next time.

.safetensors / .ckpt files (which are the models Stable Diffusion runs) have no image data in them, by the way. It is all math and numbers in there. There is no way of telling what was included in the training set, unless the dev(s) that made the model release it publicly. The models themselves are usually around 3–6 GB, though there’s larger ones and mini ones.

Like my own silly brain, there’s no way of tracking down the exact art pieces the software was referencing off of when it generates something. Am I making money off of another artist’s hard work when I remember how to draw heads from a Proko video? Am I ripping off photographers when I recall their pictures when drawing my characters? I’m not a tech company, but I still make money off of the things I copy and filter through my mind and hand.

I’m rambling at this point, sorry. Of course, the core issue is capitalism. How different would people see this medium if money were not an issue? How futuristic, how exciting it is to visualize something from words alone. It’s that art machine I’d always wanted as a kid, where I think of something and it pops out on the page finished.

I think it is worth to uplift those who use the medium as ethically as they can, as @are-we-art-yet is doing—having a do-not-use artist list, avoiding corporations, don’t try to undercut traditional artists. Like with any medium, there’s a variety of artists. Some are nice and do their best to have a good impact, some don’t care at all about the ethics of their art.

I’m still pretty firmly a “traditional” artist. I won’t stop drawing or give up because of AI. I play with AI on my own hardware and power for fun and for getting ideas (is that stealing?). It’s mostly replaced scrolling through Pinterest for me, but I still save people’s art and photos that I like in my computer, so I can look at em later, maybe get inspired. And steal like an artist, I guess.

HELP I FEEL LIKE IM GOING CRAZY

a week ago i saw someone i followed on tt for drdt content repost a “meme” about the situation in Gaza (fuck you if you think that shit is funny) i commented on the post and tagged the person who reposted it and aaked “why did you repost this?” a few days later i check their acc randomly to see if they still had it reposted so i could check the comments and see if they replied but i couldn’t find the video 😭

[scoutpologist]

there’s this horrible “meme” of a bird owner screaming and sobbing as their parrot escapes (afaik they never found the bird again) and i just saw it reposted again with a bunch of comments laughing about how the bird probably died and ill never be able to understand such cruelty. even the video has text over it begging anyone in the area to find the bird.

if my baby escaped and i never saw him again i don’t think i could cope. losing a bird is so fucking heartbreaking. they’re such beautiful intelligent creatures full of love and i don’t know why people think it’s FUNNY to joke about the utter horrific heartbreak that happens when our babies die.

i’ve even had people send me pictures of dead birds that are of the same species of mine as a joke. it’s not fucking funny. i’ve experienced the loss of a bird before. the grief is horrible. and people are so fucking *mean*

[crystallinestars]

Regarding your post mentioning Genshin burnout, recently I kind of felt it as well ! The only saving grace for me was Scara's banner, I finally managed to get him on Tuesday after pining for him during the past few months. So I guess I kind of have more motivation to play now? Esp to build him along w his team (Layla and Faruzan also popped up in my rolls :D). But after I've built them sufficiently, I might lose motivation again ...

And I saw you mention toxicity on online platforms, this is so real (for both Genshin and HSR) 😭 Like I was scrolling on Reddit yesterday and I saw a hella cute AvenPaz family artwork. It was then reposted on another subreddit (It's kinda meme-y community) and OMG they were being so rude ... Like they legit seemed so pressed seeing Aventurine in a non-BL ship. They were going "ohhh the str8s are at it again," (they used a more obscene term that I won't name) and I was thinking: so my bi self is apparently mega straight now just because I like NL stuff, huh 🤨🤨 I had to unsubscribe, like I loved seeing the funny edit pics from this subreddit but whenever they see a NL ship (or even a hint that a male playable character could be with girl) they just absolutely become so rude... I guess it could have been worse (like straight up brigading the artist) but the negativity was so so off-putting. Ofc we could all have our own preferences but whyyy feel the need to become so insulting when they see something they don't like.

Big big sorry for longggg negative vibes rant 😭 Ngl I'm also super tempted to go off about the treatment of a certain architect by the hands of both Mihoyo and a huge chunk of Genshin fandom, but if it is too uncomfy for you then I will refrain. ^^ I don't want to disrespect your blog !

Tbh though it is comforting to know that there are at least other Genshin likers (esp girls) who have similar sentiments regarding BL and our favorite architect ahahah...

Congrats on pulling Scara!!! He’s so much fun and a godsend in exploration. Seems you already have a good team for him (I use Layla and Faruzan with him too 😄)! May he grow big and strong haha.

If you lose motivation to play again, well… don’t play! Do something else you find fun! Life is too short to dedicate all your free time to a single game.

Honestly, the entirety of the Hoyoverse fandom is quite toxic. The only game that’s exempt from it, to my knowledge, is Tears of Themis.

Reddit is definitely up there with Twitter for being the most toxic platform in the fandom (I’m guessing TikTok and Instagram too, but I’ve never been on these sites). The BG/NL ship bashing is incredibly common, unfortunately. Really can’t enjoy anything NL on there. Really, why can’t they leave the things they don’t like alone and just move on? Why be so rude? 😔

I used to be a part of AlhaithamMains and things were mostly chill at first, but over time it became a haikaveh mains. Anyone who requested for there to be a separate sub for the ship was berated, and posts politely saying they didn’t see Kaveh and Alhaitham in a romantic light were rife with hateful and aggressive comments. I remember someone posted Kavehlumi art in KavehMains, and one person had the audacity to comment that Kaveh actually belongs to Alhaitham. And these types of comments were EVERYWHERE, under every NL ship post.

I took one peek into AventurineMains, saw the very first post talk about how Ratiorine is implied in the 2.0 quest, and noped out of there. Not surprised the same fate befell Aventurine 😔

So yes, Reddit is full of awful, loud people that ruin the fun for anyone who doesn’t ship the popular ship. You were right to leave. I left a long time ago and have been so much happier because of it. It’s unfortunate you have can’t enjoy a lot of things now, but sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do to protect your mental health.

If you want to go off and rant about how Kaveh gets treated, please do! God knows I have my own gripes about it, so it’s really nice to know I’m not the only one troubled by it. Plus, I love it when people share their complaints with me, so don’t worry about being too negative.

Trust me, there are quite a few of us girls who love Kaveh but don’t care for BL. We just keep to ourselves and stay quiet to avoid trouble from the toxic shippers.

astv enjoyer anon back and I think your ideas are great!! :0 theyre really interesting and I was thinking about the canon event stuff too, but I have no idea how it'd work out since purely from the characters we know in twst there is Zero uncle ben equivalent for Jamil

Though for how he did get bit, I have two ideas! either from something bizarre during a potionology class where a spider just happens to Not Be Normal OR he could have been outside for something Vargas related and the spider breached containment or whatever?

I love the idea that he ended up losing a basketball game because of it and I could imagine a lot of hijinks related to the aftermath! Ace trying to find Jamil and having a whole What Was That For?? rant out loud while Jamil is Stuck on the Ceiling

I assume that magic cant just do Anything so whatever he's dealing with cant just be explained away when he has webs coming from his body, though then I wonder how he'd need to use the powers when in a magic world? Which I mean we COULD magicless au it since a superhero story would be hard with that but hmm i want to know what you think!

It's very fun to combine two interests at once and its super lovely to know an artist I like I could have convos on the movie as well :] also the memes you repost on ur insta are amazing id like to see more!

Ty anon!!! 🥺🥺 ur so sweet, and your ideas are giving me a serotonin boost, they are so fun!

I'm slowly starting to realize that making up a canon event for spidey Jamil is extremely difficult since he pretty much hates everyone or eventually gets into an argument with the few people he does tolerate 😭 (i was thinking the closest to —not a father figure, but a mentor— we know Jamil has would be Leona? Since he showed a lot of admiration and respect for him on Ignihyde's chapter BUT THEY STILL HAD AN ARGUMENT IN THE END AND wow Jamil cannot get a moment of peace in twisted wonderland huh) unless I'm forgetting someone in the cast he is in good terms with.

I was thinking this idea would fit best in a magicless au- at least for me, I find it so difficult to combine a magical world with a universe in which science stuff is the main world building factor at play. I mean, it's not impossible to make something up with both magic and science, but my brain is just not big enough for that tbh 😔

But yeah! About the how Jamil could get the spider powers could just be like all coincidence, he was just minding his own business, focused on something important, then SPIDER JUMPSCARE! I like the idea of it just coming from the school's lab, maybe a very smart student like Idia was experimenting in secret there. He sounds like someone who would do that, like, maybe trying to replicate something he saw on a superhero comic of his, why not

AND NOW THAT YOU MENTION THE AFTERMATH OF THE BASKETBALL GAME it would be so funny if Ace was the first one to find out about this entire thing. He has no choice but be Jamil's "guy in the chair" even though his abilities for such task are dubious at best.

Hello!!

I have a question regarding one of your repost tags: it is about the silly meme of Hannibal crying because his husband officially broke up with him on EP7 S3. I cannot recall where was the text or source info where we get to know Hannibal did actually cry when waiting for the FBI to arrive at Will´s house. Was this on the scripts or did Bryan commented something about it? I would really appreciate if you could kindly help me ;;

oh um. o(*￣▽￣*)ブ i dont rrly have a source for it bc its just something that I saw somewhere in a post (probably??) and i don't really remember where i saw it (i have funky memory. sorry!!) so yeah. I do have this...wiki screenshot that i found (probably in some post) and had it saved as "hannibal....please.jpg" bc i thought it was so funny and pathetic. anyways this is def a fan wiki screenshot and that blue text indicates that there is a source for it. good luck finding it. 👍

[slutnali]

Ask game not from an ask game, but could you ramble a bit on Jaida? I just kinda love her a lot and need someone as equally insane to talk about her.

ooohhhh Jaidaaaa !!!! im gonna have to put this under a read more bc its longgg and I could just go on about my beloved !!! also i wanna preface this by saying this is al over the place

I didn't watch s12 as it was airing [I hadn't watched s11 either, i stopped watching DR for a while] but I was still following all the ru girls from seasons I had watched, dr official accounts + dr meme accounts.. but anyway, as soon as the DR official IG page posted the 'swipe to see the s12 winner' and I swiped bc I am nosey even if by that point I had only known about the drama in the s12 cast.. but as soon as I saw Jaida it was love at first sight fr

I went to her IG and looked through all of her photos, she was so beautiful I had to watch drag race solely because of her.. I binge-watched s11 to get to s12 [dont ask me why, thats just my brain.. if I was gonna watch i had to be all caught up lmao] but I fell in love even more with her watching the season and all of her IG lives that'd been uploaded to youtube.

So ofc as someone who has been on tumblr for years and participated in the dr stan tumblr community from s8-as4?, I had to come back to my roots and created this sideblog.. I thought I'd find other ppl as obsessed with Jaida as I was but honestly.. at that time it was just me and a handful of others I quickly became mutuals with.. her tumblr tag wasn't as up to date/active so I would constantly be one of the few always reposting her stuff onto the tags.. pictures, videos from her performances, clips from lives, anything and everything bc people had to see how beautiful and funny she was. almost like i was determined for people to see what i saw in her eorngerif which might sound insane but anywayyyy

Getting back into reading dr fics was a bummer that she was mostly a background character but I get it from a shipping standpoint too.. it was all about crygi & jankie as those were the ships with the most content and traction. I would read fics because she was listed as a background character or halldoll was a bg ship even if I wasn't interested in crygi which was 9 times out of 10 the main story..

I could also get into a halldoll ramble but to not let this get longer than what it is, the few people that would write that ship are top tier, honestly. I do have a list of halldoll fic recs somewhere on this blog but those are the few people that in my opinion, capture jaida well and do her justice.

She's so gorgeous it's intimidating but she's one of the most silliest and charismatic bitches out there.. she's a sagittarius (one of the only good ones 😪) there are just so many things to love about her, and I think her personality shined more in as7 than it did in s12.. I mean that in a 'other fans finally realized that' type of way

also thanks for sending in this ask!

Pokemon au

TemporalCoffin:

What Pokemon would Steve and Eddie like? I wanna hear everyone's opinions

Buff Muggin (Alpha Porn Roach) — Yesterday at 2:24 AM

My time has come

Eddie is literally just that one gym leader in sword and shield, Piers, and that’s a dark type gym I see him with a lot of dark types and ghost types

TemporalCoffin — Yesterday at 2:26 AM

Omg youre right he is piers

Buff Muggin (Alpha Porn Roach) — Yesterday at 2:27 AM

HE IS PIERS

TemporalCoffin — Yesterday at 2:27 AM

I had this thought cos I saw a meme sketch of Eddie wanting a loudred so he can have a pokemon as am amp

Buff Muggin (Alpha Porn Roach) — Yesterday at 2:27 AM

Omg that’s incredible

TemporalCoffin — Yesterday at 2:27 AM

It was just him sobbing and begging his whimsur to evolve

Hang on I'll find it again

Buff Muggin (Alpha Porn Roach) — Yesterday at 2:29 AM

For Steve it’s hard to say because instinct says he’d love fighting types but idk if that fits him exactly. I think Steve would have a mix of types. He’s a family man, specifically a found family man, his Pokémon team isn’t filled with one specific type, he has a mix of all sorts that work well together as a team 😌

TemporalCoffin — Yesterday at 2:29 AM

Click through there's a second panel of him admiring robins pokemon

nyanmao — Yesterday at 2:30 AM

noivern would be a good fit for Eddie I think, bat and sound based. Also it’s dragon type and like dungeons an dragons and yeah

Buff Muggin (Alpha Porn Roach) — Yesterday at 2:30 AM

Omg Robin with a gothorita 😭😭😭

TemporalCoffin — Yesterday at 2:30 AM

He'd be torn between basically doing fantasy football with his pokemon, or like being obsessively involved with the nurseries cos he likes the lil babies

Buff Muggin (Alpha Porn Roach) — Yesterday at 2:31 AM

STEVE ISNT EVEN A POKEMON TRAINER HES A POKEMON BREEDER YES 100%

Steve is a Pokémon breeder but is also Nurse Joy

TemporalCoffin — Yesterday at 2:31 AM

I think Eddie tries to teach a Jigglypuff to do metal vocals, purely cos I think it's funny

Buff Muggin (Alpha Porn Roach) — Yesterday at 2:32 AM

Eddie gets tired of it eventually because it isn’t working and just shoves him onto Steve and when he comes back to pick him up Steve is like “sorry, he’s my child now, you can’t have him back”

Eddie 100% would have an Obstagoon tho

TemporalCoffin — Yesterday at 2:33 AM

Omg he would get a toxtricity

Buff Muggin (Alpha Porn Roach) — Yesterday at 2:34 AM

HE WOULD ABSOLUTELY

TemporalCoffin — Yesterday at 2:34 AM

When you need a new band member so you get a pokemon lmao

Buff Muggin (Alpha Porn Roach) — Yesterday at 2:34 AM

Exactly!!

But also I love the idea of Steve being the type of trainer that does that thing where people will do themed pokemon teams? He gets a team of all the ones that look the most like dogs. He has a dog team

TemporalCoffin — Yesterday at 2:35 AM

Eddie: sorry fellas I'm replacing you all with pokemon

Corroded Coffin:....WHAT

Buff Muggin (Alpha Porn Roach) — Yesterday at 2:36 AM

I think Steve would have a rockruff 1000% percent

And probably Yamper as well

I know I’m mixing pokemon regions probably but I don’t care

TemporalCoffin — Yesterday at 2:36 AM

Who cares international travel exists

Buff Muggin (Alpha Porn Roach) — Yesterday at 2:36 AM

You right

TemporalCoffin — Yesterday at 2:37 AM

Eddie would be a good gym leader cos he can put up a challenge but he likes seeing kids succeed too 😭

Buff Muggin (Alpha Porn Roach) — Yesterday at 2:37 AM

His rockruff evolves into Lycanroc and Eddie is like “THATS SO FUCKING COOL”

OH EDDIE HAS AN IMPIDIMP FOR SURE

TemporalCoffin — Yesterday at 2:38 AM

Omg Steve would probably do those pokemon talent shows

Buff Muggin (Alpha Porn Roach) — Yesterday at 2:38 AM

OMG THE POKEMON BEAUTY PAGENT THINGS YES

nyanmao — Yesterday at 2:39 AM

Pokémon breeder Steve would probably breed starter Pokémon for the kids

Buff Muggin (Alpha Porn Roach) — Yesterday at 2:39 AM

WAIT POKEMON PROFESSOR STEVE

He’s the one that gives the kids their starters 😭😭😭😭

TemporalCoffin — Yesterday at 2:40 AM

Not me getting emotional over pokemon

Buff Muggin (Alpha Porn Roach) — Yesterday at 2:40 AM

I will always get emotional over pokemon

nyanmao — Yesterday at 2:41 AM

he also cooks Pokémon treats like poke blocks or poffins for everyone :luv: :luv:

Buff Muggin (Alpha Porn Roach) — Yesterday at 2:41 AM

I’m just disappointed that I can’t decide who in the party would have a leafeon I need one of them to have a leafeon. Leafeon is my baby

(Nancy has psychic type pokemon btw that’s my hc I know this was originally about Steve and Eddie but I wanted to throw it out there)

TemporalCoffin — Yesterday at 2:43 AM

Oh I'm all for all the pokemon hcs

What would Robin have, I feel like she'd go on aesthetics

The stats are garbage but they look cool

Buff Muggin (Alpha Porn Roach) — Yesterday at 2:44 AM

Yeah I think Robin is another one that doesn’t have a team based on type

I really loved Robin having a gothorita in that tweet, she’d have hatterene I think too

(Is it obvious yet that most of my pokemon knowledge comes from sword and shield?)

nyanmao — Yesterday at 2:46 AM

she has a vanillite that she names ahoy

Buff Muggin (Alpha Porn Roach) — Yesterday at 2:46 AM

I’ve played other pokemon games, I’ve played X, I’ve played omega ruby, I’ve played Sun, but sword and shield has been the only one I’ve played more than once

Buff Muggin (Alpha Porn Roach) — Yesterday at 2:46 AM

FUCK YOURE SO RIGHT YES

nyanmao — Yesterday at 2:46 AM

OH AND STEVE HAS ONE NAMED SCOOPS

Buff Muggin (Alpha Porn Roach) — Yesterday at 2:46 AM

YES

And the two of them, for reasons neither Steve nor Robin can figure out, the two of them hate each other. They try to get their pokemon to play together and Scoops and Ahoy will not go near each other

TemporalCoffin — Yesterday at 2:50 AM

That's hilarious

Buff Muggin (Alpha Porn Roach) — Yesterday at 2:50 AM

Okay I’m going to map out the thought process I just had because I’m about to say something that might sound buckwild. But like modern au right and they’re just playing the games, but Robin gets into like all the legendary pokemon and then I started thinking about how Robin would do research and come up with theories for the game (and others probably) and that led me to the hc that Robin would probably watch game theory in a modern au and truthfully no one can change my mind

TemporalCoffin — Yesterday at 2:50 AM

Oh you know who does have fighting types? Max

Buff Muggin (Alpha Porn Roach) — Yesterday at 2:51 AM

Yes Max 1000% has fighting types

TemporalCoffin — Yesterday at 2:51 AM

Shes really into battling

Buff Muggin (Alpha Porn Roach) — Yesterday at 2:52 AM

Max just casually becomes the new pokemon champion of the region

TemporalCoffin — Yesterday at 2:52 AM

Steve's like look at my cool cute new pokemon and max is like I bet mine could beat it up

Buff Muggin (Alpha Porn Roach) — Yesterday at 2:52 AM

She’s like “you guys were fucking around and getting your pokemon to play games, I came to WIN”

TemporalCoffin — Yesterday at 2:53 AM

Max plays the way I play, only attack moves nothing else

The party is over there doing stats and getting the best debuffs and buffs and she's like "hey nerds check out my all punching team"

Buff Muggin (Alpha Porn Roach) — Yesterday at 2:55 AM

Steve’s like “Look at this cute little pokemon I just got!” And Max is like “I have a level 100 Machamp”

I also only really play with attack moves 😂😂 I’m like “why do I need a move that decreases enemy stats when I can just punch and kick them until they’re gone?”

Surprisingly though persona 5 has helped me start using stat buffs and debuffs more 😂

nyanmao — Yesterday at 2:57 AM

I played like that my entire childhood I don’t think I even ever realized stat effect moves did stuff lmao

Buff Muggin (Alpha Porn Roach) — Yesterday at 2:57 AM

Seriously it’s just like “y’all are using strategy? No I hit the thing with my most powerful attack immediately and it’s dead in two rounds. Next”

nyanmao — Yesterday at 2:58 AM

“Scoops Ahoy Employees Steve&Robin has challenged you to a battle!!”

and it’s just 2 vanillites that only attack each other

Buff Muggin (Alpha Porn Roach) — Yesterday at 2:58 AM

This is also why I don’t think I could ever play a healer or a healing focused character Im like “no! Let me do maximum damage!!!!”

TemporalCoffin — Yesterday at 2:59 AM

Pretty sure Eddie would combust if he saw Steve with a bunch of baby pokemon

Buff Muggin (Alpha Porn Roach) — Yesterday at 2:59 AM

Omg breeder Steve with all baby pokemon crawling all over him in the nursery and Eddie is just like “fuck, fuck, be cool. Just be cool!”

Omg that’s how Eddie gets an Impidimp. Steve hatches a little Impidimp from an egg and gives him to Eddie because he thinks he’ll like it and Eddie keeps it in his team forever after that. He considers keeping it from evolving bc it reminds him of seeing Steve with a little tiny newly hatched level one Impidimp sitting on his shoulder pulling on his hair

nyanmao — Yesterday at 3:05 AM

Someone tells him they saw Steve buying a shit ton of Pokémon supplies and stuff and he’s like “lmao it’s king Steve, he’s probably some meat head fighting type gym leader or something” until he sees steve at the local daycare with an apron carrying a happiny and a cleffa

TemporalCoffin — Yesterday at 3:06 AM

Eddie ends up with a lvl 100 impidimp and Steve's like oh why'd you never have this one evolve?

Buff Muggin (Alpha Porn Roach) — Yesterday at 3:06 AM

Steve harmonizes with his jigglypuffs pass it on

And somewhere, Eddie collapses to the ground

TemporalCoffin — Yesterday at 3:07 AM

Steve with an all Jigglypuff team

Omg Steve with like a baby carrier full of eggs he's trying to hatch, just wheeling them around town

nyanmao — Yesterday at 3:11 AM

people make snide comments about Steve and his baby Pokémon and how he’s gone soft and Steve usually just brushes it off until someone hurts either one of his kids or one of the baby Pokémon and then he throws out a lvl 100 kangaskhan

TemporalCoffin — Yesterday at 3:20 AM

Who's the nurse joys in this situation

𝕄𝕚𝕣𝕒𝕓𝕖𝕝𝕝𝕒 [Ella Ella] ✨ — Yesterday at 4:56 AM

Here for the Pokémon AU :loveteeth:

TemporalCoffin — Yesterday at 7:02 AM

The party fights as a group and gang up on poor solo trainers just trying to walk down the path

Max still wins that 1v4

kesbird — Yesterday at 10:02 AM

I like the idea that Steve accidentally befriended a legendary so it’s just Steve with a bunch of eggs around town carrying cleffa because she cries if she’s put down and someone comes to bully Steve and the Pokémon and suddenly like fucking mew two or one of the legendary birds or something is there because Steve healed them once and now they would kill for him

Gorgeousgreymatter — Yesterday at 10:05 AM

I'm obsessed with forest nymph friend of Pokémon Steve

kesbird — Yesterday at 10:06 AM

Like he just has a bunch of neighborhood Pokémon that follow him around sometimes and one just happens to be like Entei or some shit like that

Dustin would have a clink clank and will would have a smeargle

Gorgeousgreymatter — Yesterday at 10:11 AM

Lmao Steve will all the biggest badass Pokémon that just follow him around for snacks and scritchies and also to destroy anyone who tries to fuck around and find out gives me life hahaha

kesbird — Yesterday at 10:13 AM

Like fucking Tommy tries something and Steve who has himself been adopted by the whole damn forest by this point is like Tommy for your own self preservation I’m asking you PLEASE reconsider

Gorgeousgreymatter — Yesterday at 10:19 AM

Steve doesn't even want to catch them all he just wants to be left in peace he begs lol

kesbird — Yesterday at 10:20 AM

All he wants to do is bake and look after his legion of Pokéchildren like is that too much to ask

Oh but wild pokemon parents coming to drop their kids off with Steve for a little bit so that they can relax is SO CUTE

rat (babygirl Steddie truther) — Yesterday at 10:21 AM

Omg soccer mom steve the Pokémon version?

Gorgeousgreymatter — Yesterday at 10:26 AM

People keep coming to challenge him to battle because they keep hearing about his legendary Pokémon and how he's "never lost" (its just assholes showing up and trying to fight him and he has to be like no please they'll murder you and people just think he's some unflappable badass. STEVES POKEMON COMEDY OF ERRORS I CANNOT

kesbird — Yesterday at 10:26 AM

Somehow mike is STILL unimpressed

rat (babygirl Steddie truther) — Yesterday at 10:29 AM

Ya know how when you want to get something done suddenly your pet or child is underfoot non stop? Yeah steve is tripping over lil pokes constantly

Gorgeousgreymatter — Yesterday at 10:29 AM

I want him to have the scariest ones that just turn into Lil babies around him

kesbird — Yesterday at 10:29 AM

Always, and he’s got arm muscles for days because he’s always carrying at least one or two Pokémon so he can actually walk without tripping

kesbird — Yesterday at 10:29 AM

YES YOU GET IT

Gorgeousgreymatter — Yesterday at 10:30 AM

Steve "has never used a pokeball on a Pokémon in his life" Harrington

He's just Like That

kesbird — Yesterday at 10:30 AM

Like these badass Pokémon with scars and they are just goop around Steve

Gorgeousgreymatter — Yesterday at 10:30 AM

Steve's entire family of Pokémon are stage 5 clingers :sNort:

kesbird — Yesterday at 10:32 AM

Steve’s dad wanted him to be a big Pokémon trainer like him and Steve has like a few Pokémon and he tries to keep cool in highschool with like battling but like honesty he sucks at it because his Pokémon will make one hurt noise and Steve’s like rushing them away.

kesbird — Yesterday at 10:32 AM

Gorgeousgreymatter — Yesterday at 10:33 AM

Okay but literally that would be me. I would cry :sNort:

kesbird — Yesterday at 10:33 AM

Gorgeousgreymatter — Yesterday at 10:33 AM

Gorgeousgreymatter — Yesterday at 10:35 AM

kesbird — Yesterday at 10:37 AM

Ok but el who grew up in one of the mew two labs as like an anchor for the mews , or her having to have this super charged Pokémon team that battled constantly and her getting to heal and never fight again after she breaks the mews out of containment

I do love the idea that actually the most powerful trainer are those two middle school girls and checks notes the pokebabysitter steve harrington 💅🏻

Buff Muggin (Alpha Porn Roach) — Yesterday at 10:56 AM

Buff Muggin (Alpha Porn Roach) — Yesterday at 10:59 AM

Like I’m sorry but gym leader Eddie and Pokémon breeder Steve is something I 1000% need like PLEASE

Like I’m still thinking about the. Steve presenting Eddie with a newly hatched Impidimp that immediately climbs up Steve’s arm from his hands, onto his shoulder, to the top of his head while he just pulls at his hair and Eddie is like fuck im in love

Kingdom Kai — Yesterday at 11:05 AM

It evolves into a midnight form and is suddenly the biggest badass around

nyanmao — Yesterday at 4:40 PM

Steve is a pokemon magnet and doesnt really care about like whether pokemon are legendaries or not, like he's aware of what legendaries are but doesn't really think about it too much so when he sees a pokemon coming up to him, all that really matters is that it's cute or friendly so there are multiple times where people had to do a double take because like a mew is mixed into the bunch of baby pokemon he's feeding or he's walking his group of baby pokemon around and there's like a ho-oh just waddling along behind them

Kingdom Kai — Yesterday at 4:52 PM

Hi I need the first pokemon Steve ever picks for himself to be like, the ugliest eeakest little feebas ever and when it evolves into a badass militia literally everyone is like wtf

nyanmao — Yesterday at 5:32 PM

Feebas evolves by havign its Beauty condition raised to a high level so just imagine steve caring for its scales and feeding it high quality treats and constantly telling it how beautiful it is, all without even knowing that's how it evolves
