Thinking about SVSSS AU/fic prompt where trial happens but SQQ just doesn't talk.
There no point defending himself, he's going to be found guilty why make a fool of himself or a show. He'll just sit here silently and let things happen smoothly so Binghe can have his revenge
Of course everyone is like 'SQQ defend you self!' cang qiong is freaking out and Binghe is just furious and confused Shizun answer the questions! Why aren't you saying anything!
Eventually the bust out a truth telling artifact to get truth out... only now system isn't letting SQQ answer questions that would reveal he isn't SJ.
So everyone is freaking out like SQQ interesting are most powerful artifacts??? what the fuck?!
Eventually Binghe snaps and yells out 'why won't Shizun defend himself??'
This shocking SQQ and something he can answer
'Because Binghe wants me to be guilty'
Everyone just freezing like 'what the fuck?'while SQQ is just sitting there confused like he hasn't just said something insane.
Peak Lord's freaking out over sqq's canon fate.
Sqq: guys it's chill. My disciple is a good boy (tm) who returns kindness tenfold and cruelty a thousand fold. Obv I deserve this for what I did.
Crowd: ... What did you do?
Sqq: I yet disciple into pit.
Lbh *sobbing*: shizun why did you???
Sqq: it was ordained to happen. The voice in my head told me to.
Crowd: ... The what.
Sqq *sweating*: the voice....the normal canon compliant voice that is totally a normal thing to experience ahahaha......
Crowd *squinting*: either he's possessed or insane.
Lbh *cries harder*
The Superbat (every)Week Server had a PowerPoint Party today and I presented! I figured I would post the presentation here too. I had a lot of fun making and presenting it :)
Links to sources I used will be at the end of the post.
(any bird pictures that don't have a link next to them are pictures that I took while birding throughout the years)
(and yes, I am over 30, why do you ask?)
May I present to you...
World's Finest Birders
Or why Superbat should give up superhero-ing and just go birding instead.

I've recently been made aware that if you are thinking of switching to Linux or want to switch but don't know how there's a great website made just to help people migrating from Windows to Linux.
The website has a long list of supporters, so if you really know nothing and / or are afraid of trying it and messing something up you will be able to get professional help from this website.
Extended support for Windows 10 ends in 2026. Don’t buy a new PC — revive yours with Linux. It's fast, secure, and help is available to get
There's even a list of places where you can go physically to get help. All over the world, not just in the USA by the way.
Say goodbye to Microsoft treating you like you don't own your PC. Say goodbye to intrusive features you didn't ask for. Say goodbye to ads on the OS you paid for.
Save your PCs from joining the massive amount of e-waste caused by Microsoft's unnecessary requirements.
And this is why I’m putting Windows 10 on my new PC.
It's in windows 10 too :( I just checked my system and had to turn it off.

Mama and Baby Dragon My new artbook "Modern Dragons" is on Kickstarter for 11 more days!
Hey, I'm thinking about you. I was going through some old chapters and wanted to let you know how much I appreciate how supportive and encouraging you've been. I hope that you are doing well!! I hope that life is treating you with the kindness and love you deserve!! <3333
Oh my gosh, thank you! I love your work and I'm so glad my silly comments have been a booster. Life has been treating me pretty well all things considered; I'm moving cross-country soon and have just gotten my Master's, so it's a wild time. I hope life is treating you well too! ❤️❤️❤️

Important note from a future nurse: if you are chronically ill, on a lot of medications, even managing conditions on your own, buy a drug guide. Davis's Drug Guide is what they had us buy for nursing school, and I've looked up every single medication I take in it. It helps you understand what the drug is doing to you, helps you understand side effects, reasons why you shouldn't take a medication, things to monitor for while you're taking a medication. It's not perfect by any means, but the thing I've found is that it's helped me guide conversations with providers, nurses, pharmacists, it's helped me figure out what questions to ask. When I've heard people talk about what they didnt know about their meds, what they wish they knew about their meds, it's often in a drug guide.
Out of everything I've learned in nursing school, it is the biggest thing I'd advocate for having in any home, period.
Pros to my dad working on planting a variety of native plants and various flowers in our yard: Diverse animals in our yard and whatnot. Native bees are here.
Cons: I have a severe phobia of moths and sometimes they appear now while I’m gathering herbs and chase me around the yard like some kind of deranged commedia dell'arte bit
This is like when my friend had a bumble bee in her house so I tried to catch it bare handed but it somehow got in my shirt so I had to run for the door with a yellow Cheeto impersonating Luke in the death star bra edition in my blouse, only it flew out in the living room where all the phobic people were and caused mass hysteria and a few people flinging themselves es to the ground like this was nuclear fallout because Bumbleton the Second* didn't want to get hands with me while I relocated him
Just watch Obsession, honestly the first movie in a while that made me want to throw up. 10/10 would never watch again, it's an absolute banger that'll mess you up
the hottest thing a guy can be is barely conscious on the floor while someone lifts his head up by the hair so that you can see his glazed out eyes and the blood running down his face

this is probably my favorite tiktok of all time and I finally got around to showing it to my dad the other day and now he comes home every day and tells me about all the places he saw crumbling concrete and says "guess they didn't add enough chinchilla flakes"
I swear to fucking god. I would claw out OneDrive from my computer if I could. I would burn down their servers if I could. I would run down their stocks to the ground if I could. I hope every single one of their workers gets a better offer from a competitor in the next 24 hours. I hope every single one of their light bulbs explodes at the same time. I hope every single carton of milk in their fridge will always be expired.
Stop backing up my fucking files.
Stop asking me to back up my fucking files.
Stop taking my fucking files off my fucking computer.
I don't want a fucking reminder in three fucking days. Let me fucking say no.
Fuckers.

Local house witch telling you to please learn basic housekeeping skills.
It’s not your fault if no one ever taught you but YouTube is a magical place and can teach you at your own pace.
Someone asked me what housekeeping skills I’d recommend learning.
Keep in ming that this is not me shaming you, I know you have your reasons, folks. This is just a guy who enjoys clean spaces asking that you start learning now.
Here’s what I suggest as an adult who has lived with other adults who didn’t have housekeeping skills:
First and foremost, learn about all the places in your house that need to be cleaned and understand how often they should be cleaned. the American Cleaning Institute (I guess that’s a thing) has a good article about basic cleaning info. Plus this video on cleaning tips is great!
Learn how to do your dishes. HOT water is the only way to clean your dishes.
Learn how to clean your shower head, especially if you live in a place with hard water. Same goes for your sinks.
Learn how to do your laundry correctly. Even without the whole “separating whites and colors” thing, there are things you need to learn about washing your clothes. Learn what the tags mean, too.
Also, you don’t have to use fabric softener and you shouldn’t use it on towels or any fabric meant to absorb. (Learn about laundromats) And please learn how to clean out your dryer vent, it’s a safety hazard!
Get a disinfecting cleaner for your high-touch areas, especially the gross ones like the bathroom. Just because it doesn’t look dirty, doesn’t mean it’s clean!
Learn how to sweep, mop, and vacuum effectively.
You’ll also want to make sure to change out your home’s air filters.
TL;DR, here are some cleaning videos.
How to Clean Everything in Your Bathroom
How to Clean Everything in Your Kitchen
Livingroom Cleaning Routine
How to Clean Everything in Your Bedroom
Now these resources are not the end-all-be-all, but I think if you don’t know much about cleaning your space this is a good way to start.
here’s some of the things that are helping me actually clean (as an adult who had messy parents, and has a hard time getting threw my nurodivergency about cleaning specifically) that may be helpful to you:
Favorite Cleaning Book: it helps you work through the emotional side of cleaning (and other care tasks)
Current Favorite Decluttering Method/Concept: it helps you know how much is too much to keep and how to get started when you’re overwhelmed. (having too much stuff makes it incredibly hard to clean/organize.)
Basic Cleaning Skills: this channel is amazing! this man has a special interest in cleaning and cleans people’s spaces who deal nurodivergence that make it hard to clean. he does this for free (or at a deficit because he pays for supplies and dumpsters and transport and such) and does it all with empathy and kindness working With the people as much as people can handle instead of just coming in to “fix” an issue. these videos are a bit different from his usual ones, (the last one’s most like his usual videos) but i find having the sped up cleaning videos with a voiceover can help fill in for body doubling when im too ashamed to bring people into my messy spaces.
I’m gonna queue this as well so you’ll be seeing it again from me in a few months without any comments on it, but this is all good things to know
