Heads Up

I occasionally post/reblog things containing (fictional) dark or disturbing content and things with sexual themes. Act accordingly and keep yourself safe on the interwebs!

and to be clear NaNoWriMo closing is genuinely really sad. I've just already done my grieving for it. I wish it hadn't happened this way, but NaNo's fall was determined as soon as Kilby took over.

A lot of MLs did take off and make their own groups though. If any participants are reading this who want to continue NaNo participation, check out the reddit!! Lots of people did it from there and many former volunteers for the org are there and if you ask "is anyone from my region still doing nano" I bet you'll get some replies, or find someone doing it in discord.

Keep writing! NaNoWriMo was us, it wasn't HQ.

All this

Thinking about how Vlad was so delusional that he thought he still had a chance with Maddie.

He painted an alternate version of history and chose to believe it. Maddie is perfect in his eyes, so obviously Jack had to have conned her into falling in love with him and marrying him. (No sensible woman would do such a spectacularly stupid thing; certainly not Maddie, the most beautiful, intelligent etc etc woman to ever exist.)

Vlad uses this alternate "truth" to undermine Jack and Maddie's relationship. Jack is a bumbling idiot who got lucky and Maddie is his hapless victim, duped, deceived. Vlad must save her. This delusion allows him to believe that Maddie could still be his—if he can just wake her up and get her to realize what a mistake she made.

Ironically, the one who needs to be woken up is Vlad.

“Ariel sold her voice for legs just because of a guy“

Meanwhile Ariel with legs;

Ariel already loved the human world long before meeting Eric (you don’t get a collection like hers overnight) and when she finally got a chance to explore it, she took it.

Ursula made it more about Eric than Ariel ever did.

and i mean hell this has been talked about before in more depth than i can, but when people complain about how the ending was changed (the original fairytale does not give ariel a happy ending, she dies trying to protect the prince), i think about the fact that this was written by a gay man in the 1980s

and i think it’s entirely valid (and gives her an extremely strong connection to the queer community) to change the story so she doesn’t die because of who she loves

because that one post went around: i will never ever judge you if you take a what you think 'too long' time to answer. i will always be happy to get a text from you, so please, please, don't beat yourself up if you left me on read for some time. i dont care if you answer me one day, one week or one month later. i would however miss you if you stopped answering completely, but really genuinely no pressure to answer fast.

oh well, that was definitely not the right blog, sorry

no no, continue

okay true

[Image ID: There are two images. The first is a screenshot of tags which read '#honestly great to have a blog called 'news channel' say this #like News: Your friends don't think ur weird you can just text them #lol'. The second image is the Destiel confession meme edited so that Dean answers 'News: Your friends don't think you're weird you can just text them' in capitals to Cas' 'I love you'. /End ID]

Been making a whole powerpoint presentation about a fictional species of mine for like the last 2 weeks. Both just because I felt like it but also in case other people would be interested in making their own Raigaar OC :) So I laid out a little sandbox for yous to play with wahoo

Just remember to not use them commercially in any way :)

Mace, storms into the jedi council room: The supreme chancellor's a sith lord! Yoda: Know this how do you, master Windu? Mace pulls out his commlink: Count Dooku added me to their private group chat.

honestly i have to kinda disagree with that post thats like “being knightcore doesnt mean pro monarchy just swear ur undying loyalty to ur bff or ur crush or smth”

no. thats not what makes it sexy. either grapple with your beloved master’s role as a symbol of the state or choose to ignore it entirely and remain their loyal hound to whatever end, uncaring of the structures of power which you serve. become naught but a blade, the burden of your choices left to settle in the hand that wields you. it’s not about being besties forever it’s about OWNERSHIP and DUBIOUS MORALITY and FRANKLY QUESTIONABLE POWER DIFFERENTIALS

You guys do know you're supposed to reblog things, right

"well i like this post but i'm worried my followers might not" fuck your followers. The entire point of tumblr is to cause irreparable psychic damage to your followers. We are locked in mortal combat on the astral plane. You must win. You Must Win. You Must Destroy Them.

Currently doing an Insomniac's Gambit. For those of you who don't know, this is when you mess up your sleep schedule badly enough that you attempt to fix it by skipping an entire night of sleep then going to bed at a reasonable hour the next day. Crucially, it does not work

"yeah dude I'm gonna sleep in 20 minutes" -- the most "will stay up another 4 hours" guy you've ever met

Okay but get this -- they'll *never* expect the rare Double Insomniac's Gambit

Selkie AU cooked up with @a-selkie-abroad (fitting username lol) but the bad ending where Vlad is obsessed over Danny and refuses to give him back his seal pelt.

Eventually Danny escapes and becomes a shepherd but he never found where Vlad hid his pelt, until years later they run into each other again and Vlad has Danny’s pelt wrapped around himself to taunt Danny about how a piece of him will always belong to Vlad.

Danny who stores shit inside his body PLUS danny getting vivisected.

Whoever gets danny is cutting him open and rummaging around and comes across a phone charger??? And is that a bag of chips?? And weed?? Hello?
