#to appear cool online

[mala-santa-radfem]

not men, violent porn consumers, wanting to rebrand themselves as saviors who care about rape victims 🤡

[pixelatedcrown]

I've been watching a ton of pokemon challenge videos on youtube and it made me wanna try draw pokemon girls - I've never actually tried making gijinka before, I wanna do more…. and just draw more in general!

[hewhothrivesintheshadows]

i think i’ve figured out the changes in my shifts thanks to a recent lucid dream.

this picture is the closest i could find to my form’s posture. i always considered myself to basically just be a massive grey wolf with little to no difference between me and your average wolf besides size. it never felt QUITE right, but it was good enough. but now, i’ve discovered a bit of a difference. my wolf form is much more humanoid, and it moves somewhat similar to a bear, usually walking on four legs and only standing on two to get a better look around or appear bigger. i have thumbs but not a lot of dexterity, so i can only use them for easy tasks. my snout is a little shorter than the average wolf’s, and my fangs peek out over my bottom lip a little. my fur is much shaggier than the pictures, with a slight crinkle at the root (presumably bc i have 4c hair and it translates to my fur).

also i think i’ve come to terms with being a physical otherkin. i’ve avoided talking about it bc i as worried about a negative experience, but at this point i don’t really care. it’s just how i feel and who i am so yeah :3

[diathadevil]

Man I wish I didn't have the social anxiety of sharing selfies online besides with my close friends. I've been going outside feeling dripped out. I have clip-on earrings now.

[Sees the new Dragon Age trailer is out, gives in to temptation, breaks oath to go in totally blind, and watches it.]

Oh, hey, it looks kind of neat. Reminds me of the DAII Isabela trailer. I'm cautiously optimistic. :)

[Sees the reaction online.]

"What lame music.." Instead of coming back to attacked words he's being the idiot with this -

[lavalot]

I deeply want to connect with people, other artists and communities online, but I am also terribly afraid of being perceived and misunderstood. So I do nothing about this other than throw art out into the void hoping someone will notice me lmao.

Like one of my deepest fears is trying to be relatable and funny, but somehow coming off as cringe or weird enough to garner negative attention and become like the twitter person of the day or something.

[crunchycrystals]

i follow pjo tags that im usually fine seeing on my dash and i keep seeing people posting about some Discourse thats popped up again since the comic con card photo things came out about leah and like. i guess i curated my dash well because im seeing literally none of that

[dashiellqvverty]

i wanna be into comics so bad but at a certain point, after starting and stopping so many comics so many times, i may have to admit that i am just not a comics guy

[gothcarmelasoprano]

maw why are these troll accounts linked through my ex best friends STILL following me

[mrfoox]

Being genderflud for me is always a mess

[gnaga37]

decided right now I don't like the disney's Pinocchio. they cut out the best character (fata turchina) and I do not like that >:( AND my favorite character, the big snail that lives in her house (if I remember correctly). and I hate it.

they don't even have mastro ciliegia. criminal

[tacticalfemwile]

Let me be a hater for a second here ok seeing the quirkification of adhd makes me insane. Kids on the apps are so out of touch it’s so fun to have The Disorder and everybody is adhd when you think about it!! But Um. It’s kinda icky how you talked about not being able to do your laundry for 2 weeks you’re kinda making us look like we’re mentally ill or something :( and meds are bad for you :(( All of you bullied the autistic kid at school. You make me dream of going head first through a windshield. You don’t want to have quirky disorder. Thanks. Give me $50

[letsnotperceive]

Okay, I just can’t stop thinking about John Price honestly. Especiallyyy after he’s *retired*!!

Here is a little drabble (is that the right word? Can’t remember, I’m new here). It gets a little 𝓕𝓻𝓮𝓪𝓴𝔂 (18+) towards the bottom but nothing crazy. F!Reader

⌢⌢⌢⌢⌢⌢⌢⌢⌢⌢⌢⌢⌢⌢⌢⌢⌢⌢⌢⌢⌢⌢⌢⌢⌢⌢

﹉﹉﹉﹉﹉﹉﹉﹉﹉﹉ ୨ᰔ୧ ﹉﹉﹉﹉﹉﹉﹉﹉﹉

✧.* Because sure, big buff military man who’s puffin’ more smoke than a chimney is cool and all. But give me sleepy, squishy, human teddy bear Price. Give me Price who’s perpetually exhausted after carrying the weight of the world on his back. Price that just wants to hibernate for a while with his luv.

✧.*Im thinking he’s all softened up around the edges. All that muscle mass doesn’t disappear over night, but as time passes and he’s no longer on an extensive workout routine, it ain’t sticking around forever. Big ol’ pecs that you can squish your face against, a little padding to his stomach. Hold on, stay with me now 🤤

✧.* Of course, he’s still got that grizzly sort of appearance. All mapped in scars and maybe the occasional burn from those late nights spent at his desk with a cigar between his fingers while he’s drifting in and out of consciousness with exhaustion. The damn workaholic! Hairy too; least we forget—that beard and those arms. Oh lord.

✧.*Maybe one day you realize in that post retirement laze of his (which is well deserved, mind you. Don’t give him a hard time now) that he’s looking a lil’ extra scraggly. You sit on the bathroom counter, and with a delicate hand and a very distracted focus, you give his beard a shave. All cute and romantic, the room still steamy from your shared shower…

BAD. Mistake. You both agree to never let it happen again. An angel just lost its wings!! Leave his beard alone 😭

✧.*Treat this man so good, he deserves it. Whether you like to cook or not, you find yourself gravitating to the kitchen on occasion to make sure he’s eating well at least some of the time. Some home-cooked meals to cancel out all those shitty MREs he’s consumed in his lifetime.

✧.*Bet he will reward you for it too; he’s got a soft spot for good girls. He is tired of yelling commands and barking out orders, he’s too worn out to deal with a brat. Be a sweet little thing now and show him some love. Offer to climb into his lap and take over when his bad leg starts acting up, see where it gets you.

✧.*Rolling your hips to a steady rhythm only you hear, he lets you have your fun until he’s ready to set the pace. Big hands pawing at your waist, clutching at you just tight enough his fingers are going to leave red marks for him to soothe away after. He doesn’t even have to roll his hips up against you, he can just move you as he pleases with his strength.

✧.*You don’t even have to try to give him a show—he drinks in every little reaction you give him. His heart skips a beat when you mewl, your eyes threatening to roll back in sheer bliss. The sticky sound of your thighs, drenched in arousal, meeting his skin. The way your lips meet his neck and shoulders, kissing and nipping love bites against his body. The mattress springs squeaking from underneath you two. It’s a performance, and he’s dedicated to appreciating every moment.

✧.*He’ll send you melting with his words, too—

“Mmm, is that good, little luv’?”

“You like that, baby? My darlin’?”

“Such a good girl—doing so well f’me.”

“F-fuck lovie, do that thing with your hips again~”

✧.* Aftercare is top-tier with him too, no questions asked. He may have gotten a little lazy in his retirement, but never when it comes to you. Water, a snack, a quick clean up. Him putting his entire weight over you like a human weighted blanket. Whatever you need, Lovie.

Wrote this quickly after doing an online job interview, I don’t think it went very well bc I have awful RBF but wish me luck :,)

Should I do a full fledged fic about this? Anyone interested? Okay, bye <3

Argh... so I've been reading in Scum Villain's Self-Saving System (SVSSS) fandom recently. And it's given me a new pet peeve about formatting and TTS. A bunch of the authors in that fandom are using black lens brackets to indicate the 'system' voice, 【like this】, because the original novels do, and, yeah... unfortunately that's not always compatible with TTS (definitely not with google's TTS engine, and testing with various other online TTS engines gives mixed results).

Guess how I know they're called black lens brackets.

…

Go on, guess.

…

YUP! They get read aloud! Every. Single. Time. They. Appear. Open black lens bracket like this close black lens bracket.

Please resist using the novel's formatting and just use regular square brackets instead! Which do not get read aloud unless there's a space in a bad position, [ like this ]. If you want to be fancy, maybe use <tt>...</tt> formatting or a monospaced font such as courier to make it stand out more as something mechanical.

Which reminds me, another bad formatting choice I've bumped into multiple times (and I can't remember if I've mentioned this one before) is where authors use something <like this> to indicate things like speaking mind-to-mind, or that someone is speaking a foreign language (despite the actual text still being in English). Cool. Neat. Also not TTS compatible, unless you like repeatedly hearing less than and greater than mixed into the text. But guess what - there are already perfectly serviceable ‹single› and «double» angled quotation marks that could be used instead - and since they're recognized as actual quotation marks, they don't get read aloud! Shocking, I know.

Those angled quotation marks could also be another decent option for indication of things like the system voice, obviously.

Thanks to everyone who is already using more TTS-compatible formatting, and to anyone who decides to make some changes to theirs after reading this :)
