everyone knows about the filing the serial numbers off that comes with turning a fanfiction character into an original character but theres a lesser known and equally funny "putting an original character created for a preexisting fandom setting into my own world" . like yeah this was always my own oc. i made this guy. however i need to shave off their homestuck horns. dont worry about it. its fine.
QUICK TURN ON TUMBLR. ANY BLOG.
so did pjackk say anything before he got bload up again or did his corpse just kinda roll through here like a tumbleweed
do we see the vision
OOC: I lied. Iru-mod isn't asleep yet. I just HADDD to finish these stupid manga strips today. Anyways it's based off of this post. Also @clara-toy-toy @heir-to-the-asmodeus-family come see this it's us. Rp is fun and hilarious and I'll forever love it. Also I had been laughing at the numerous Claras I drew the entire time I was drawing it. Can you see the multiple memes I referenced while drawing this a few of them might even be familiar for y'all.
HAPPY PRIDE MONTH HONEYS!👩🏾❤️💋👩🏾🏳️🌈✨
med people are so annoying "This family's 8 year old child who was about to go through a major surgery and kept crying that she was hungry so they pitied her and gave her food, she then had a heart attack in the surgery. They're so stupid 😒" girl they didn't know that could happen or why it happens. it takes so little time to explain to them that will happen instead of telling them "no food" with no explanation 10 times
"Before surgery, your body’s reflexes that protect your airway are relaxed by anesthesia. If there’s food or liquid in your stomach, it will near certainly come back up and go into your lungs, which can cause choking, a severe lung / heart infection or even a heart attack. That’s called aspiration, and it is life-threatening. It's hard, but it's only a single day to prevent near certain death. Not eating or drinking beforehand massively lowers the risk and helps prevent these life threatening situations under anesthesia." <- TIP: patients have brains which allows them to receive information just like you
I have four kids. I’ve had one or another of them need some kind of surgical procedure that requires anesthesia four or five times over the past 15 years.
This Tumblr post is the first time someone has explained to me *why* I couldn’t feed them before those instances.
I’m not stupid. I understood that just fine. Hell, my kids would have understood that just fine. But no one bothered to tell us.
i did know this before having kids (i have six). we have a kid that's needed multiple procedures requiring anesthesia. and every single time, i am asked multiple times if i'm sure he was not given any food or water after a certain point.
every single time i have had to say, "i understand that if he had food or water, he could aspirate it into his lungs under anesthesia. i am not lying to you." THEN someone would make a little note and i would stop being repeatedly asked.
not a single time was that risk explained to me. the only reason it came up was because i already knew. i still don't understand why it isn't standard pre-op counseling or pre-op check information, when me as a parent acknowledging the actual risk also put THE MEDICAL STAFF at ease because i conveyed that i had informed understanding as reason to not lie about giving my kid food.
"maybe some people will get nervous and refuse surgery" okay so they need more counseling about risks and anxiety, not less information in a way that actually does endanger their child or themselves!
Reblogging to save a life and teach medical professionals basic communication skills
This is good advice for everyone including non-medical personnel. It turns out that it isn't just autistics who learn better if you explain why you're asking them to do a certain thing a certain way, everyone learns better.
Pretend I am training you for your first day at my taproom, and consider the following examples:
1. "Please make sure to wash the glassware before you put it in the sanitizer machine."
2. "Please make sure to wash the glassware before you put it in the sanitizer machine. I know it looks and acts like a dishwasher, but it isn't, so don't. "
Or
3. "Please make sure to wash the glassware before you put it in the sanitizer machine. I know the sanitizer machine looks and acts like a dishwasher, but it isn't because a dishwasher will empty and refill between cycles. This machine doesn't do that, it recycles the same sanitizer solution over and over. So if you put a dirty glass in, not only will the glass still be dirty but all the other glasses will get dirty too and we'll have to empty and refill the machine. Which you really do not want to do because thing takes almost an hour to come back up to temperature, and thats a gigantic pain in the ass when you get in the weeds. So just remember to wash the glasses first, okay?"
Now tell me: which one of those are you gonna remember?
I need people to get real comfortable explaining the Why's and I need that to happen so fast, because everyone's lives will be so greatly improved if we stop assuming everyone already knows everything. (And if you already know, you get to say so and look like a smartie! Win/win!)
happy pride month for it/its users, polyamorous people, xenogenders, non-transitioning trans people, and other "weird" identities. btw
there’s a Masters of the Universe billboard near the cafe i like and i need to find a picture of this particular design because just describing how shitty it is won’t convey anything
okay there’s no pictures of it online because no one gives a shit but imagine: i can’t drink my coffee without making eye contact with the gigantic shitty visage of Jared Leto Skeletor. however, they’ve completely rendered him bland. tasteless. he’s not green or yellow and has like no purple on him. so it’s just Skeletor’s head in his hood, a plain white skull in a black hood, so it looks like Spirit Halloween. and he has 2 red lightbulbs in his eyes
very fast rendition of how it feels
btw it's so fucking stupid you can be anxious physically in your body even after you've decided mentally you don't care. I'm supposed to be in charge here
Pro tip: if you for real do not care mentally and yet still feel anxious solely in your body and not your mind? You may want to get your thyroid levels checked.
My hyperthyroidism was misdiagnosed (and unsuccessfully treated) as GAD for months because my only frame of reference for what I was feeling was “anxiety but only in my body” even though now I can tell the difference.
i get that americans love their cultural imperialism, but it really does piss me off that june is “international” pride month just because something happened in the united states.
in aotearoa, june isn’t our pride, it’s theirs. marsha p johnson and sylvia rivera are their historical figures, not ours. the phrase that “you owe your rights to Black trans women” is true there, but here we owe our rights to (mostly) Māori historical figures. i have the freedoms i do because of the legacy of an entirely different set of people operating in an entirely different context at entirely different times.
But because of american cultural imperialism, most queer people in Aotearoa don’t even know our own queer history. Carmen Rupe, Ngahuia Te Awekotuku, the Dorian Society, Gillian Laundon, Georgina Beyer, and the Wolfenden Association are some of our queer history. We should know their names! we should know what they did for us! but because of the power of the american imperial machine, we don’t.
our national pride month should be july, the month that the Homosexual Law Reform Act passed in 1986. our two largest cities hold their pride festivals in february and march, respectively. american queer history has very little (or nothing, depending on who you ask) to do with our queer history. anecdotally, from my own queries, queer youth in aotearoa know more about american queer history than our own.
anyway, happy pride, americans. i’m truly sorry that most of you don’t see the negative impact your nation’s culture has on the rest of the world. and to the rest of the world reading this, try searching for your own country and culture’s queer history, don’t accept the american narratives as your own. we deserve our own histories divorced from the cultural hegemony of the USA.

basically the best thing any character can do is decide they don't want to be afraid anymore - in fact they never want to be afraid of anything ever again - and take action so drastic they fail to realise that this too is a decision motivated by fear. or to account for the Consequences of that.
[with obvious perverted intent] hey. don't you want to release the safety catches on that character. don't you want to flip off all the switches holding them back and let the control rods go.
first time apartment renter advice I wish someone told me
you just got your first place. Maybe it is a tiny studio in the city or a shared 2 bedroom with your friend. Either way here are things I wish someone told me when I moved out for the first time.
1. Skip the cheap sofa trap.
That $200 boxed sofa from wayfair or amazon looks convenient. It ships to your door and the pictures look cute. Do not buy it. They sink when you sit and your spine will hate you. Check OfferUp or Facebook Marketplace for a solid second hand sofa instead.
2. Do not let decor become your whole life.
It is fun to plan your dream space. It feels cozy to rearrange and search for ideas online. I spent months avoiding hosting people because I did not think my place looked ready to host. Live in your home. Let it be imperfect while you figure it out.
3. Avoid the $50 Amazon squeaky metal beds .
They squeak so much that it WILL ruin your sleep and your mood. Second hand wooden frames or highly rated quiet frames are worth the hunt. A good bed changes everything.
4. If you fall behind on rent it is scary but you have time.
The threat of eviction sounds urgent. The process is slower than you think. Look for extra work or ask for a raise. As a last resort your 401k can be accessed in hardship situations. It hurts your retirement but surviving a rough period matters too. Stress about housing is brutal so do what you need to stay stable.
5. Do not beat yourself up about mess.
Motivation comes in random waves. Some weeks you will feel stuck. Then one night at 3am you suddenly want to clean the entire place. Use those bursts of energy for the deep work. You can also invite someone over and let the pressure help you tidy up. Whatever works.
6. Check Poshmark for home decor deals.
They have a lot of brand new curtains and duvet covers for half the price or even less. Worth browsing before buying full price.
7. Switch out plastic where you can.
Use glass for food storage and avoid microwaving plastic. A glass air fryer basket helps. Coffee pods create microplastic too so pour over coffee is a good alternative.
8. Keep cooking simple.
Think of a meal you love. Learn to make it well. Meal prep it. Repeat. You do not need to be a chef to eat well at home.
I need to stop replying to “how do you make friends in your 30s?” threads because all my answers boil down to “you have to want to know people instead of have friends” and I don’t think people wanna hear that
It’s like. People can tell if you don’t really like or connect with them. If you aren’t truly enamored with someone you will have a hard time coming up with activities to do together to deepen the friendship. Because you don’t really like that person that much.
