happy to report that gen α is using ‘Elon Musk’ as a derogative as of recent

this came about because we were playing mario party last night and I used boo to steal a star and our son called me “elon musk” and when I asked why he said “because you didn’t earn that”

how to explain to mutuals that while yes you can have my discord, and i wanna hang out! my response time is anywhere between 3-7 business days

stray cat that's very affectionate and enjoys spending time on the porch with you but disappears once a week and after a while you think you'll never see them again until you open the front door and theyre sleeping in your boots

i dont consider myself a 'fashion guru' by any means but one thing i will say is guys you dont need to know the specific brand an item you like is - you need to know what the item is called. very rarely does a brand matter, but knowing that pair of pants is called 'cargo' vs 'boot cut' or the names of dress styles is going to help you find clothes you like WAAAYYYY faster than brand shopping

this also goes for aesthetic or -core titles. 'y2k tank top' is going to get you resellers and fast fashion brands advertising to people looking to meet a current trend. 'thin strap crop tank top' is going to get you a diverse group of results and not upcharge you to hell and back

additionally, shop second hand when you can, second hand and thrift sites typically organize clothes by the cut and color. theyll be more affordable than a depop seller curating you a style to sell you

useful terminology for different kinds of clothing shapes :)

To my uk trans people and allies out there.

people who write fics. how do you feel about comments on super old ones you wrote like 2+ years ago

Bringing this out of the tags:

A fic written 2 years ago is NOT OLD. Two years is nothing. Two years ago was yesterday.

Also I don't care if a fic is 10 years old. Leave those comments!! Even if you think the author isn't active, or moved on from the fandom, I promise you it will make them smile.

I commented on a fic that was 11 years old, and there was already a response by the time I got up the next morning. Comment on the fics, please, comment on them, I promise it'll make the author's day either way

I got a comment on a fic of mine this week that just read "TWO THOUSAND AND NINE?"

I replied to it within seconds, of course. someone commented on my fic

As @pentapoda put it in this post:

Headcanons for Scar/Vio cast and siblings

Phen: An only child. Sees Arven as a brother and Lacey as her sister.

Nemona: It's canon she has an older sister, but makes no mention of other siblings so I imagine it's just the two of them. (Because of their dad's job I imagine Nemona sometimes feels like the "spare" but she gets on well with her sister)

Arven: Only child but sees Phen as his sister.

Penny: Implied/confirmed? that Peony is her dad so Peonia is her sister. Penny is the older one. They get on well enough, usually bonding over how cringe their dad is.

Giacomo: Has a little sister he dotes on, there's a fair age gap (7 years) but he loves her.

Mela: Oldest of 3, has two younger brothers, so she experienced a bit of parentification.

Ortega: He's the middle child of 3 boys. Middle child syndrome.

Atticus: An only child, he was an IVF baby.

Eri: Has a little sister who has aspirations to be an engineer, they get on really well.

Carmine: 👇 Also experienced parentification after they lost their parents.

Kieran: 👆

Drayton: An only child. One is enough.

Lacey: An only child, spoiled but not bratty, princess of Driftveil. She does see Phen as a sister.

Crispin: Has an older brother who isn't interested in taking over the family business, but works the bar for extra money while he studies at university.

Amarys: Oldest of three, has a little brother and sister. She and Carmine bond over being oldest siblings.

I now have names for the siblings! To stay within the naming conventions they're also named from the same flower families as their brother/sister.

Nemona: Her older sister is named Rochelle. (from Rochelia, part of the forget-me-not family)

Ortega: Older brother is August (taken from Ortega's Spanish name "Gus"- from urtica augustfolia) and his younger brother is Dio (from urtica dioica)

Giacomo: His sister is called Felicia (from pircairnia filiciana, part of the bromeliaceae family)

Eri: Her little sister is named Sera (from eriobotyra serrata)

Mela: Her brother's are called Percy (from prunus persica) and Simon (from prunus simonii)

Crispin: His older brother is called Denis (taken from Crispin's Spanish name)

Amarys: Younger brother is Crin (from crinum, part of the amaryllidaceae family), younger sister is Erin (taken from Amarys' German/Italian name)
