It is what it is but like. Can it be something else

April Fools day here is always funny because my dash is full of “here’s a Rick roll but it’s actually a different song” “here’s ‘do you love the color of the sky’ just kidding! It’s not the full long post!” “Here’s a drawing I made of a kitty! Just kidding! It’s two kitties and they’re best friends” and we do this unironically and completely ignoring the blood lust we all experience every year just two weeks prior

When I was in my teens, I used to make an entire magic system with 360+ unique spells, ordered in magic schools and categories, and it boggles my mind that I basically reinvented DnD mechanics, even down to metamagic.

I wanted to make a wiki about it but I don't have time for it.

The point was to try to encompass every "superpower" I could think of into a magic system.

I even got lore related to it all, I'm pretty sure I'm gonna simply reuse it all for OC worldbuilding. Ngl the fun part was naming all the spells, symbols and coming up with the logic of it all.

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:

nothing brings me more joy than critically engaging with media that was clearly not designed with critical engagement in mind. it’s the media studies equivalent of like, idk, trying to skateboard up a flight of stairs.

“Why would you want to make a game for the original Nintendo?? No one is going to buy that”

Jokes on you! I sold 1 copy!!!

LOOK AT THAT BEAUTIFUL GRAPH! THATS A SALE BAAAABY

^Me rn

Holy shit yall. I just woke up to 21 sales! The game has officially recouped the cost of all the software I used to make it!!! IM PROFITABLE?!

...What's the game, how did you make it, and how are you selling it?

It’s called Undercover Shot! It’s a 2 player social deduction game for the original Nintendo Entertainment System!

I’m taking pre orders for physical copies here https://www.homebrew-factory.com/home/138-undercover-shot.html

And selling digital ROM versions for a dollar here: https://pirateprincessjess.itch.io/undercover-shot-nes

A week ago I was losing my mind over 1 sale, now I’ve sold 81 digital copies and 52 physical ones.

Over 100 people bought my game!!!!????? This is mind blowing. I don’t even know how to process this. I am so grateful. I would not have sold nearly this many without yall sharing this post as much as you did. I love you all so much. Thank you for making this happen. You all made my childhood dream come true in a bigger way than I thought possible.

Achievement Unlocked:

NEStseller

Sell a new title for the fucking Nintendo Family Computer in the year 2025 AD.

Wait, why am I so excited about getting a pointless achievement? I’m actually so stoked about this

Oh wait I get it now! “NESt seller”! Like “best seller” it’s a pun!

It took me 18 hours to get this joke, but I got there in the end.

usual reminder that while there IS a bluesky, there's not much calligraphy on that thang

i post like it's 2013 twitter

we are cringe we are free etc etc

its so funny that they were like "oh the guy who plays dr who is too old and sick how are we gonna explain that there's someone else playing him now" and they were like. well we could just get another old white guy who looks similar. we could have him hand off the keys to someone else. we could have a bad guy turn him invisible and he comes back wrong. and they eventually went with the stupidest possible answer which was "he just does that sometimes"

Okay yeah but it does seem to be working out for them

tumblr deleted my last confessional post so here’s a new one:

when i was like 6 my grandparents got me an awesome dollhouse (playmobil haus 5301 if anyone needs to know). for some reason, i had in my head that one day, god would shrink a bunch of people until they were the size of polly pockets and the world would be so cruel and scary for them. so every night i would pray to god that if he did that, that he would please put the tiny people in my dollhouse so i could provide for them. and every night, in case it happened, i would put water in a little cup for them and make their little beds so they’d have somewhere warm to rest after finding out they would be tiny forever. i told my friend in school about this and he said “oh my dad’s a wizard dont worry he can make them grow again” and then i felt at ease and never worried about it again.

John Wick Is So Tired by Kyra Wilder

tonight's plans: jerk off to completion..... two cans of sprite (crush against forehead like a neanderthal school bully) ...... write the great american novel

==> June: Keep moving forward.

"nobody likes a complainer" you say, like an idiot, as if thriving ecosystems of friendships aren't blossoming every day based solely on people vocally disliking the same things in similar ways

How To Draw A Horse by Emma Hunsinger in this week’s New Yorker magazine.

Twenty-One Things You Don’t Say to a Transsexual by Riki Anne Wilchins.

In TransSisters: The Journal of Transsexual Feminism, issue 3, volume 1. 1994.

Can we just take a moment to appreciate that they added the Alleged to the headline there? Because let's face it he is very very likely being framed, and I feel a lot of people forget that (probably because they sympathize with both the killer's motivation and actions, and rage at Mangione's treatmen). Remember: Innocent until proven guilty. And boy do I hope his lawyers are competent enough to really highlight the flaws in the "evidence" and in the officers' handling of it.
