Just finished this Fallout inspired countryball comic.

Took me a little bit of time to make the NCR Ranger into a countryball form, but there it is.

NOT to be romantic but yeah my friends are the treasure i found along the way. fuck it, sure, friendship is magic; i've sat down at a table and felt at home and i don't even know what a "home" is. half of them are necromancers anyway. they found me half-dead and they put their hands to my inert body and moved my limbs and said it's okay. it sucks. but we'll both get up again.

Sometimes homeless people will be off-putting and rude and demand more of your attention than you're comfortable giving. I promise you, if you had to deal with a fraction of what they do on a daily basis, you'd become off-putting too. Sit with your discomfort and direct your anger at the systems which made them homeless, not at the person in front of you who is struggling.

I do not agree with veganism as a moral standard. If it is your personal moral stance, that is fine. If you think humans eating meat is inherently immoral, I don’t want to deal with you, you’re hopeless. Vegan ideology behaves more like a sect of evangelical Christianity than a dietary choice.

Veganism is better for the environment, but claiming that it's a morally superior choice ignores cultural and economic factors that make people eat animal products.

It is not inherently better for the environment. That is the thing. When you begin trying to explain that local, sustainably sourced animal protein is better for the environment than imported plant proteins that are farmed 3,500 miles away using slave labor, they start tuning you out. Down is better for the environment than polyester stuffing, leather is better for the environment than pleather. We should work on making animal agricultural practices more sustainable instead of trying to shame everyone into eating plant products that are also farmed unethically and unsustainably.

people don’t remember this but in the early 2000s white brunettes and white blondes were treated as something even deeper than different races- they were seen as like animals of two different species locked in a never ending battle for dominance. they were like yin and yang- the blonde was pathos and the brunette logos. it was truly something to behold.

I used to have a shirt that said "blondes have more fun" that I wore while brunette and when random men would say "You're not blonde" I'd reply "I'm also not having much fun"

They use the second amendment as a reason to openly brandish guns for no reason other than "because I can". Think of all those times when people carried assault rifles on their routine shopping trips.

Then, when someone actually uses the second amendment for its intended purpose, to fight back against a tyrannical government, those same people complain.

you are not an endearingly rude and unfriendly cartoon character you need to be nice to people

coming from a place of love btw i still have to remind myself this often. i’m very autistic i know what it’s like to think of yourself as like a lovable character with quirky flaws because your sense of identity comes from fiction but you are a Living Person and that’s not how it works to be a living person

not enough people are reblogging this version which is fine but i think they should. I Know Ball i still struggle with this i Get It

The tribes of Tumblr appeared to worship Apollo as their primary patron deity, most often under the epithet Apollo Spairahemon ("Apollo the Ball-Thrower") as a god of prophecy and sport. His name was typically invoked to celebrate a user blessed with uncommon prescience. Moments of prophecy were considered highly sacred and were often recorded, and such texts are sometimes accompanied by an artistic depiction of the god — either his traditional masculine image or, unusually, in the form of a young woman, which appears to have been an earlier style before a conservative shift toward more conventional iconography — preparing to cast a round rubber ball that our scholars believe was used in the sport known as "dodge ball". Much as other cults regarded his arrows as bringers of disease and health, this community believed that being struck by this ball would bestow prophetic visions.

Some icons are reproduced below:

An earlier depiction (c. 2020) of Apollo as a girl clad in a simple tunic and playing with other children. Figures are smiling and the image is brightly colored, indicating a celebratory outlook toward knowledge of the future.

A later piece (c. 2022) that resembles the traditional appearance of Apollo. References to childhood and play are omitted, and the god carries a more frightening aspect; perhaps this icon represented grim omens rather than good tidings.

i find it insanely sad that people use chatgpt as a therapist and a friend and i dont mean sad in the condescending or mocking way. it is harrowingly depressing for real

When the inevitable incident happens where someone blows away an ICE officer in self defense, I already know there's gonna be a lot of pussy-footing from democrats and they'll join the Republicans in calling for the person's head while lionizing the officer.

Two citizens were blatantly murdered on video, and all the democrats can muster is to say "They need better training" and "please stay peaceful, don't take the bait". They can't even be honest about what's going on in front of them.

forgive me father for i have not locked in
