Guess it was time to make one of these huh.

Hi! I’m Gulfie (Gulfstream for long) but you can also call me Artie or Gardener as well!

I have a love of complex stories, worldbuilding, lore, and wlw.

I am a polyamorous arospec asexual lesbian and I use any pronouns. but like, in a Not Girl way. Don’t ask, i’m working on it. I also like masc terms!

I have a lot of interests but the biggest ones are Mcyt (Empires SMP, Last/3rd/Double Life, Hermitcraft, DSMP to a lesser extent), Critical Role, dnd, Ace Attorney, TOH, RWBY, and Pokemon. 

I reblog a lot of stuff and sometimes make posts of my own. I can be quiet but if you try to talk to me I will talk back.

And now some fun facts about me: I am an adult, I have adhd and autism, I am a cat person, I am obsessed with dragons, I write and make aus sometimes, and I draw sometimes but not often.

I write sometimes and my works are posted at GardenerGulfie on ao3

Anyways yeah thats a little bit about me! Hope you enjoy your stay on my blog

Losing my mind at this poor girl in Argentina who found a kitten on the side of the road and adopted it only to find out it was a freaking jaguarundi. Look at that fucking thing. That's a whole ass kiddy cat

Better yet, she got in contact with a local wildlife reserve! She found him and his sister beside a dead animal on the side of the road, apparently quite thin, and assumed they were just abandoned kittens. The female passed shortly afterward but the male was fine- two months later she brought him to the vet and discovered "hey, thats a whole ass jungle cat." There's a good chance Tito will be back in the wild someday, even! IMHO, two kittens on the side of the road, and one didn't make it more than a couple days? they probably WERE abandoned. just dumb luck they got picked up!

LISTEN to those sweet cheeps. to me I hear that sound and immediately think wild cat, but I think its totally reasonable for a teenager to find a kitten this young and think it was a normal cat. Jaguarundi are also really small!

These are TINY little wildcats!

They have really distinct looking faces and especially ears, but

if a layman ran into one of these things where they werent expecting to see one, I think its pretty reasonable they might assume it was just a weird looking cat

luigi mangione facing the death penalty just seems like a bad decision for america. so there's this guy that everyone loves and considers a hero, and we arrested him after very obviously planting fake evidence. and now we're going to subject him to an unfair trial and kill him at the end. there's no way anyone will be mad about that right

its only a bad decision if we make it become a bad decision. for those in power, we can be as mad as we want, they dont care, so long as we dont act upon our rage. many even like it when we get mad. they like to see us rage impotently. that's why the whole 'kek, triggered much' shit is so popular. it affirms their own position of power in the overall heirarchy, however miniscule that position may be.

Who the fuck is voting no and can you please give me your money? Sincerely someone who makes about $17,000 a year

Someone who makes $65k may not be "as poor" as someone who makes $17k a year but that doesn't make them rich. You're both still pretty damn poor.

They're only making about $31 an hour. This is how much my mom makes as a nurse, an "essential worker."

She has just enough money to pay her bills. She lives in a tiny, crappy house. Her car is ancient and falling apart. She doesn't have enough money to pay for all the healthcare she needs, including $20,000 of dental work she can never afford.

When I lived with her and she was a single mom, we could never afford the doctor and could barely afford food sometimes.

She will never be able to retire.

How tf do you think that is rich?

Frankly, my mom is still poor.

Your enemy isn't the person makes $65,000, or even some doctor or lawyer making $165,000. It's the people making billions off of everyone else's labor.

You can't eat the rich if you think every single person making more money than you is rich.

The working class is incredibly large. It's hard to survive on $65k and harder to survive on $17k. Neither one is comfortable.

The definition I tend to use is: if you lost your job and couldn't get another, are you fucked? If the answer is yes, you're not rich. Even if it's "I could last for several months on savings and whatnot, but yeah, after that I'd be fucked."

Rich people may have jobs and salaries, but they aren't dependent on them. "Rich" means you own things that make enough money by themselves that you don't have to have a job if you don't want to.

A pithy way to put it is: well-off people own things that cost a lot of money. Rich people own things that make a lot of money.

(on a post about the switch 2 being $450)

im going to be honest i think people vastly underestimate how much it takes to emulate things for good quality and how intensive piracy & emulation are. by all means im for it but you realize building a pc that can run emulators well and safely skirt viruses with torrenting is like a pretty hefty investment both timewise and moneywise. i Get that most of this website is inclined toward doing that investment because this is a website and audience bias means more technology based people will be making opinions on this. that being said: $450 is like nowhere near enough for a good quality self built pc. what the fuck are you talking about. unless youre just incredible at refurb and finding parts for a deal.

this website has many many people who just do not understand the circumstances in which piracy is the answer as well as the fact piracy is an open secret that you should be careful about discussing OR understanding the circumstances in which it would be more beneficial to not pirate something. i had a post blow up when minecraft was having a sale last year for $15 and people kept chanting to pirate instead and open their home ports for a server to the point that i was honestly appalled at like... you realize the reason people want a legal minecraft account is to play multiplayer with friends. you realize not everyone has the safety measures in place to safely operate a multiplayer server on a home port. nor the machine able to do that. many people on this website vastly overestimate the average person's abilities to be technologically competent to the point it is legitimately dangerous for privacy concerns to be suggesting the things you may be suggesting!! and it drives me up the wall!! have some CONCERN or understanding of other people's machines and technology that not everyone is as tech literate as you!!!!!!! you CANNOT just tell people to jump straight into the fire with Just pirate! or Just open your modem's ports for a server! or Just crack the game! This shit can be dangerous if you do not know what you are doing. Teach safety with doing all of this is what I'm saying. Be careful.

All this excitement aside, I'm frankly just happy that Silksong is real and still being worked on so I really don't care when it comes out

Also my stance is still that Team Cherry should shadowdrop it on launch day, turn off their phones and immediately go on vacation

Op I hope you don’t mind this addition but. In regards to my previous tags , I made a meme

CORRECT

I'm gonna blow your mind with this, folks in the tags, but I think people have been super brainrotted by big studios having hype trains for their releases. I don't think a dev's job is to do marketing. A dev's job is to fucking develop.

You know what I think is good practice? Not putting a release date until you're absolutely and totally sure you can meet it instead of putting a release date and having to crunch to meet it OR move it repeatedly, which will disappoint people anyway. The time to do marketing campaigns, ideally, is AFTER the game is done and you're trying to convince people to buy and play it.

tl;dr I don't fucking care about the marketing who gives a shit about marketing

drew these and immediately decided i wanted to redo them. okay. piglinpulse and human grian. take them

i sometimes forget that people aren't as aware of niche gaming history stuff so i'm going to take a moment to talk about the single greatest mental buffer i have against shit rng in games: the existence of aaron cybertron zheng

cybertron has one of the longest careers in competitive pokemon. he's qualified for worlds nine times, won two nationals and five regionals. he's also worked as an official commentator for TPC. none of these are why he is most (in)famous though.

he's most famous because in worlds 2013 he missed five will-o-wisps (a 1/1024 chance) to lose the set and the tournament.

game freak buffed will-o-wisp's accuracy (from 75% to 85%) with the release of Gen VI - released a few months after worlds 2013. the general consensus in the competitive community is that the buff was due to the cybertron match.

it's probably the single most infamous moment in competitive pokemon of all time. even official accounts are known to roast him for it.

there's a lot to be said about the sportsmanship involved in still playing the game after something like this, let alone accepting it and playing it up as a bit while continuing to play a part in the community. but above all it's a mantra against horseshit: remember, no matter how bad your RNG is, you won't be losing worlds semifinals to five consecutive one-in-four misses.

Don’t let them tell you that dragons don’t frolic in springtime meadows. They frolic alright. They frolic.

the fact that the switch 2 tech demo tutorial 'game' costs money and is digital only is insane. remember when every wii came with wii sports for free? do you remember that? i am going to hunt down the nintendo execs for sport

UM GUYS. I JUST NOTICED A CRAZY ISSUE W THE TUMBLR UPDATE.

YOU CAN SEE THE ICONS OF ANONS SOMETIMES.

The way I was able to recognize several anons in one of my inboxes bc of this error. Oh my god. Guys. This isn’t supposed to happen.

Weighing in to say:

YES, I SEE THIS ON MOBILE. HOWEVER I DO **NOT** THINK IT'S SHOWING THE ANON'S REAL IDENTITY.

The profile pictures I see next to anon asks are profile pictures that belong to other, non-anon asks in my ask box also. Some info

  • there are 14 asks in my inbox from the last ~5 days
  • 9 anons, 5 logged in users
  • ALL 14 show pfps, including the 9 anons
  • ALL THE SHOWN PROFILE PICTURES BELONG TO THE 5 LOGGED IN USERS

I think the bug is the inbox INCORRECTLY attributing anons to neighboring, logged-in asks.

Which is still a bad bug! Considering it makes it look like a long-time follower of mine sent me a spam ask.

And is worse if, say, one of these was anon hate.

But it's NOT the anon's real identity. It's a neighboring ask asker's identity

So if you have anon hate in your inbox that looks like it's attributed to your dear friend, who sends you lovely asks all the time, it was Not them.

CONFIRMED THE BUG IS INCORRECT ATTRIBUTION.

Thanks @thepatchycat for being a test subject. As you can see the icon being attributed to this ask is NOT the patchy cat

The pictured icon belongs to @watchingforcomets who sent me a nice ask about nail polish yesterday which I have not yet answered!
