Hiiiiii!!! First of all, absolutely LOVE bbts! I have lost count of how many times I have reread it at this point. Still go feral over it regularly. I'm at chapter three rn and wanted to ask how Bart figured Tim out. I'm probably just a bit dumb, but I can't figure out what gave him away. Anyways, hope you have a nice week! :)

hello! thank you! and no this is a very fair question considering kon’s pov is (conveniently) distracted when this goes down. i went a bit more in depth here about why bart realizes in this moment but kon doesn’t, but the gist of bart’s realization is that he says “hi, tim” and this loopy, supposedly random civilian immediately says “names,” which is exactly how robin reprimands them every time they use one of their names in the field, and hey come to think of it this random civilian on a roof is kinda robin-shaped—

“Shit, okay,” Bart says, and a moment later he’s crouching next to Tim. “Okay. Okay. Hi, Tim.”

Tim mumbles something while Kon is listening to the whine of sirens down the street, and Bart does something very un-Bart-like, which is freeze for almost a whole second.

[…]

“He said ‘names.’”

“He’s said a few names”—like Kon’s name, and Bruce, which Kon can’t think about right now or he might do something stupid like go hunt down Mr. Wayne and drop him in the middle of Antarctica so Tim never has to apologize for anything ever again—“because he’s high on an extremely fucked-up hallucinogenic. Just focus on keeping him physically secure.”

“No, he literally said—” Bart cuts off, eyes widening. “Oh. Oh. Never mind.”

and then bart realizes that whatever’s going on here kon doesn’t know and bart is like mfjdhdhdASDKFJ 🤐🫡

not to shit on decade old ffn fics but in being nostalgic i've noticed there are a lot of young justice x dcau crossovers from when yj seasons 1-2 were airing that seem like they were written by someone who has never seen a dcau show. like, they're explicitly said by the author to be the dcau. not just any generic justice league, but the dcau (sometimes even specifying around what episode / season!), but there's stuff that directly contradicts dcau canon.

like, the flash will be barry allen, despite the fact that in the dcau the flash is wally west. nine times out of ten, there's some kind of exchange about batman not having a robin and rejecting the idea that he would ever take on a protege, despite the fact that by the jl animated series, dcau batman has two robins and a batgirl. if zatanna is involved, the jl usually says that they don't know her / she doesn't exist, and sometimes this is even said by batman and its like.. bruce! yes you do know her!! you've known her for years!

like i love the concept, i wish there were more dcau x yj crossovers, especially with a s1 yj team (or a yj team a year or so after s1), but a lot of the ones that exist feel like the author watched all of young justice (at the time) but only like. season one of justice league.

I’d REALLY love to make an in-depth video essay on Starlight Express but I wouldn’t know where to start since I’d need to collab with many historians in the fandom and are knowledgeable about musicals. 

I have a few lines of a script down and some ideas. I’d even draw some visuals and wear my CB cosplay for it.

Week 43.4/52: October 24th - October 30th 2022 | Day in KTown 🥔 

Haven’t gone to Coquitlam for food adventures in ages! Went to try Arirang Hot Dog with Jesslyn and it was pretty huge and yum!! I got their poutine corn dog which is basically just potato corn dog with gravy and cheese curd on the side.... LOL.... but it tasted quite good. Had a cheese pull for days. A bit bigger than Chungchun but it’s also more expensive so it evens out lmao. We only ate one corndog each so we went to have early dinner at Kimbap Cheonguk. Got cheese gimbap & beef gimbap. Also got a plate of spicy rice cakes - long time no eat. Their rice cakes were super spicy and yum I LOVE IT. The rolls kept falling apart when I was trying to pick it up LOL FAIL. WAS SO FULL AFTER. Ended the day with green grape ade from Cafe Bono. I LOVE GREEN GRAPE! 💚

Why My Books Aren't in KU

In this week's post, I wanted to talk about why I decided to ditch KU in 2018 and why going wide has been a good choice for me.

Because someone on the internet will willfully misinterpret this, this isn’t bashing authors who use Kindle Unlimited, but with everything, it is a business decision. I’m writing this post because I feel bad for my friends who have gone all in on Amazon and feel like their world has been upended. It especially sucks because having been publishing since 2014, this has happened before. Full…

i need a list of all of my interests w/o making tht shit publically available my ass forgetful

Lmfao I love how all my ads on tumblr today are for stage podiums, and not just any stage podiums but the same ones I collected as reference pics last night for the current chapter I’m working on. I think I’m moving past the “unbridling hate” phase of advertisements, and more into the “slightly bemusing yet existential acceptance” phase. Everywhere I go on the Internet is just sites trying to get me to buy the things I’m drawing and writing about. Pls Google, I don’t want to purchase an entire 800,000 dollar outdoor stage. I just need to draw it for the chapter in my silly little story. LEAVE ME ALONE MY WALLET IS EMPTY

[textpost-memearchive]

I neglected to add anything to the collection for a hot minute and I finally got around to it. 200 memes. In 3 weeks. This is getting out of hand. Send reinforcements.

How should I publish my random BS writing?

Pic unrelated. But since we're asking the hard questions...

You may have noticed that my artist butt has been blathering a lot about stuff like “Kindle” and “Publishing” and “Mothman erotica” lately. (Not that last one? Scrub it from your eyes.) I apologize if all that seems like a big ol’ pivot. It ain’t, though. I’ve been writing my own comics and blog posts this whole time. And a novel, and some other things. It’s no coincidence that my favorite…

people in elysium should be glad they haven't invented cellphones yet because the second harry learns someone's number he'd bombard them with messages and audio messages

i hate tumblr and only having tumblr because i can google zolf smith and there are soooo many cool images and comics but if i search the tag here there's like.... well there's not that much...

Google is going to start scraping all of their platforms to use for AI training. So, here are some alternatives for common Google tools!

Google Chrome -> Firefox

If you’re on tumblr, you’ve probably already been told this a thousand times. But FireFox is an open-source browser which is safe, fast and secure. Basically all other browsers are Chrome reskins. Try Firefox Profilemaker, Arkenfox and Librewolf! Alternatively, vanilla Firefox is alright, but get Ublock Origin, turn off pocket, and get Tabliss.

Google Search -> DuckDuckGo

DuckDuckGo very rarely tracks or stores your browsing data (though they have only been known to sell this info to Microsoft). Don’t use their browser; only their search engine. Domain visits in their browser get shared. Alternatively, you can also use Ecosia, which is a safe search engine that uses its income to plant trees! 🌲

Google Reverse Image Search -> Tineye

Tineye uses image identification tech rather than keywords, metadata or watermarks to find you the source of your image!

Gmail -> ProtonMail

All data stored on ProtonMail is encrypted, and it boasts self-destructing emails, text search, and a commitment to user privacy. Tutanota is also a good alternative!

Google Docs -> LibreOffice

LibreOffice is free and open-source software, which includes functions like writing, spreadsheets, presentations, graphics, formula editing and more.

Google Translate -> DeepL

DeepL is notable for its accuracy of translation, and is much better that Google Translate in this regard. It does cost money for unlimited usage, but it will let you translate 500,000 characters per month for free. If this is a dealbreaker, consider checking out the iTranslate app.

Google Forms -> ClickUp

ClickUp comes with a built-in form view, and also has a documents feature, which could make it a good option to take out two birds with one stone.

Google Drive -> Mega

Mega offers a better encryption method than Google Drive, which means it’s more secure.

YouTube -> PeerTube

YouTube is the most difficult to account for, because it has a functional monopoly on long-form video-sharing. That being said, PeerTube is open-source and decentralized. The Internet Archive also has a video section!

However, if you still want access to YouTube’s library, check out NewPipe and LibreTube! NewPipe scrapes YouTube’s API so you can watch YouTube videos without Google collecting your info. LibreTube does the same thing, but instead of using YouTube servers, it uses piped servers, so Google doesn’t even get your IP address. Both of these are free, don’t require sign-ins, and are open source!

Please feel free to drop your favorite alternatives to Google-owned products, too! And, if this topic interests you, consider checking out Glaze as well! It alters your artwork and photos so that it’s more difficult to use to train AI with! ⭐️

Why are file sharing software so damn limiting
