“Please. Help me be the light.”

“You’re their light now. Keep them out of darkness.”

Together, these two pieces are the perfect accompaniment for a certain Tempest’s shining moment.

In case someone still cares for my silktea fic Turning Tides, I started writing chapter 4 finally. Good thing I still have my old outline for it

not romantic not platonic but a secret third thing [what would happen between earth and the moon if the earth stopped spinning as illustrated by xkcd randall munroe]

"Turn the tides... To your side!"

Meet the lineup of Turning Tides, an "idol" band operating underground from Downtown Inkopolis! Made up of Inklings, Octolings, and Lamplings alike, this band just wants to get the news to the people! ...And if they end up giving a couple of big corporations the finger along the way, they aren't gonna complain.

These five live in my head rent-free, so please, please ask about them! I'd love to answer questions 'bout 'em!

(Seen above: Turning Tides studio. Yes it is literally just an apartment.)

Another perk of libraries is that when I check out an audiobook and predictably fail to listen to it, it gets returned and I can rest easy knowing that checking it out at all has already benefited my local library. I can even do it again later and it will only bring further good things, for free, forever

VS buying an audiobook, failing to listen to it, and having to stare at it in my audible collection knowing I spent $10 on something I never used. And then imagine doing that again. Hellish. Get a library card and download the libby app

Turning Tides™ (2022)

This year the board game I have been honoured to be the primary artist for finally launched and was shipped from Kickstarter! For this project, I was responsible for all art: the box art, playing cards (front and back), the board (ship), and logo for the game.

It has been great fun working with Never Be Boardgames!

Hello again! First of all, I just read Ch. 4 and i am shaking with anticipation! Also thank you very much for answering my last question. I hope you don't mind me asking this, but reading your "Turning Tides" series has unintentionally inspired me to try to make a story(or possibly series i don't know yet) similar to this. You know the "Chaos Born" lore you know. However, I wanted to get your permission first before getting started.

If it helps, I'll be adding my own twists and differences especially to how certain aspects of The Chaos Born. There will be some similarities but I'll be adding something new.

Instead of the name "Chaos Born" I will be calling them "Chaos Sparks."

Chaos( or at least the mention of him), Chaos Sparks, Creatures of the night, and quite possibly pirates will be included.

Shadow will be a creature of the night, but his origins will be vastly different.

Huge difference-Sonic and Shadow have already known each other at the very start of the story... But it's complicated and very angsty.

Sonic has always been aware of what he is, but that does not take away his adventurous spirit.

Instead of Shadow already knowing Rouge and Omega, you'll get to see Shadow develop his friendship with them after meeting them. Same with Sonic developing his friendship with Tails and Knuckles.

A lot of Johnny Depp movies helped inspire this fic (Not just "Pirates of the Carribean".)

Sonic is NOT the last of his kind. (I have OC's planned).

My girl Amy is going to be an interesting character indeed. With strong ties to Sonic and Shadow.

Sticks the Badger will be involved. 'Nuff said.

While the story mostly focuses on Sonic's world-lol "His World"- There may or may not be some small crossovers with a few other video game characters. Not a lot though.

The whole thing about Chaos Sparks finding Chaos Emeralds will be in there, and they are in danger of being hunted because of the gems and their gifts. But the story is mostly about Sonic and some of his friends trying to find what they're looking for.

I am currently in the process of making a pirate OC. But I promise they will not be a cheap knock-off of Leven, Grey, Jorah, and Scaro. But especially Leven and Grey!

If you would like I could drop in a reference from your story.

"Oh strong and silent type. Yeah I once knew a bear who was like that to."

"Oh what a brawl! Kind of reminds me of that time I fought with this really huge wolf!"

Lol, I'm just chuckling as I think of Sonic saying these things so casually or excitedly.

Anyway I hope this gives you assurance. But if you don't like, I will shelve this and it won't see the light of day.

Hello!

I'm honored that my story inspired you! I love the name Chaos Sparks! I appreciate the ask and I think that even with the different race elements being in there it still sounds different enough that people won't get the two AU's confused.

I'd say to keep the two AU's separate, maybe no reference to Tides within the story. Only because that might confuse people. If you would like to comment that Tides inspired you that I don't mind.

Please keep me posted! This sounds like an exciting story full of drama and angst and pirates! (all my faves)

Thank you again for asking and good luck!

Applications for ThreeClans are currently open.

Season after season, the cats of CreekClan have become familiar with struggle. Through floods, starvation, and war pressing at their borders, they have been beaten down time and time again. Now, as their plentiful territory dries to dust and a drought hangs over their heads, CreekClan’s very home is at risk. The water is receding, more skirmishes are sparking, and CreekClan hangs in the balance. 

Their future seems uncertain, though one thing is for sure. A chance encounter awaits them, a group of cats known as the Tide Watchers lingering just past the horizon. CreekClan is fated to collide with these cats, though time may only tell what their introduction may mean for both the future of CreekClan and the cats of the Tide Watchers.

Are you interested in applying for ThreeClans? Click the link at the top of this post to be taken to our application post! There, you will be given guidelines and rules that detail just how you can send an application in to us, and hopefully be accepted into our Turning Tides opening!

Special thank you to our community coordinator and member, Snow, for creating this promotional art for our opening! You can find her over at @freakpaw and check out more of her amazing artwork there!

Tumblr staff have abandoned us and the true gods have started to reappear: hot new singles in my area on every single fandom tag

[vavandeveresfan]

J.K. Rowling has been proven right!

"The Cass Review is a damning indictment of what the NHS has been doing to children.

"Dr Hilary Cass has submitted her final report and recommendations to NHS England in her role as Chair of the Independent Review of gender identity services for children and young people.

"Hilary Cass’s report demolishes the entire basis for the current model of treating gender-distressed children. Its publication is a shameful day for NHS England, which for too long gave vulnerable children harmful treatments for which there was no evidence base. It’s now clear to all that this was quack medicine from the start. 

"Dr Cass delivers stinging criticisms of NHS gender clinics, both adult and child, and her description of the Gender Identity Development Service is absolutely damning. It is disgraceful that GIDS, alongside the adult clinics, did not cooperate with her attempt to survey its practice, or to carry out a high-quality, long-term follow-up study on the treatment of children as part of the review, which would have been a global first."

You can read the entire review here. (pdf)

"Glinner" is Graham Linehan, a writer, screenwriter, and comedian who's been fighting against transitioning minors for years, losing friends, his job, and his agent along the way. But he's kept on fighting.

The tide has turned in the UK and in Europe. When will American media finally begin reporting on the closing of "gender clinics" and the bans on puberty blockers for children? I figure nothing will happen here in the U.S. until the lawsuits start flooding in. It's already begun. And with proof like the Cass Review and the WPATH files, it's going to be very, very difficult for clinics, doctors, and therapists to continue lying about how transitioning does no permanent and irreversible physical and psychological harm.
