Okay so. Remember like.. several years ago, when I made a bunch of shitty Law Of Talos Keychains? Well. They’re coming back.
LAW OF TALOS KEYCHAIN REVAMP! (Plus potential homestucks..?)
Though it seems a bit far away, Pre-Orders will be available by NOVEMBER 1st on the LawOf413 Etsy Shop. From now until then, I’ll be working on making NOT ONLY Castle of Nations/Law of Talos merchandise, I’ll ALSO be making due on the 413 part of the name and crafting up some homestucks, too! My goal is to have the preorders for all of the Beta Kids + Karkat by mid-november, which should be a fun little task for me to work on while I get everything properly set up to reawaken the old shop!
If you have any requests for merch I should make, drop them in my ask box and I’ll look into trying to make them! Otherwise, any questions or concerns regarding the shop should go through my PMs. The first time I opened it up was late freshman year, and there were a LOT of slip-ups along the way, so dont be afraid to poke me and let me know what should be fixed, or even if you never received a package! Otherwise, HERE ARE THE NEW KARL AND CLIMBER KEYCHAINS!

(ok but in all seriousness i genuinely only found out there were lot keychains after my friend showed me urs and now i’m sobbing cause i’m pretty sure i missed when you had them😭😭 it’s ok but great art!)
Oh how you tempt me, foul anon...
Honestly? The LoT keychains coming back is a solid maybe? I have a decent amount of them left that didn't end up getting sold before I shut down the operation, so maybe look out for a "HEY IM SELLING THE REST OF THESE!!!" post sometime in the next few weeks :3c
If I make enough money selling the rest of them, I'll look into buying more!
Guess what may or may not be getting a revamp
You ever think about the MOVE bombing and then think about the fact that so few US Americans even know that the MOVE bombing like. Happened.
"The United States is dedicated to moving bombs away from people who would use them for nefarious purposes! Google MOVE bombing to learn more!"
jesus christ 😐
this also doesn't come close to telling the whole story.
the Philadelphia police harassed the MOVE organization for over a decade. MOVE began with peaceful protests against conditions at long-term-care facilities and against the city Zoo's mistreatment of animals. in 1972, police classified the group’s use of profanity as riotous and designated them violent threats to public order. the actual reason was their radical abolitionist message.
the Philadelphia police department had a brutal, corrupt, and racist reputation long before MOVE entered the picture. despite that fact, MOVE’s claims of police brutality typically fell on deaf ears, even when they had undeniable proof of mistreatment. the bombing is only one part of the story both because it is the culmination of violence between MOVE and the police and also because it is part of the broader narrative of police brutality in Philadelphia that is still largely played out today.
in 1957, two Black men were beaten by three off duty and allegedly drunk police officers, putting one in the hospital for 19 days. the commissioner at the time testified that all officers were trained in "race relations," which involved things such as having officers brandish shotguns out the window of their patrol vehicles as a show of force in so called "shotgun squads." the three officers were not convicted of any crimes.
in 1960, shots indiscriminately fired by officer Robert Marinelli killed two innocent Black bystanders. Marinelli was charged, tried, and then found not guilty on all charges by an all-white jury.
in 1967, a guy named Frank Rizzo became the police chief. his nickname while working in West Philadelphia as a captain was "The Cisco Kid," which referenced the fictional cowboy who "killed for the love of it or any other reason that came to mind." he referred to "vermin" in Philadelphia as the source of the crime and decline.
shortly after he was appointed, he sicced 300 officers in riot gear on Black students and advisors protesting the Board of Education who were protesting the lack of Black studies and Black teachers. Rizzo ordered the officers to "get their Black asses." 57 protesters were arrested, dozens were beaten, and 15 were hospitalized. Frank Rizzo was elected Mayor of Philadelphia 3 years later and during his bid for re-election in 1975, he said that he would "make Attila the Hun look like a faggot" once he was reelected.
so yeah, not only is the MOVE bombing virtually unheard of by the average person in America (and it's not much better in academia, for that matter), but the story that is often told when people do hear about is that this all happened in a vacuum "due to the actions of a violent Black resistance group." in reality, it was the culmination of over 50 years of brutality against Black people and minorities in Philly.
i enter the shower. hours pass. i emerge from the shower, having mixed all of my soaps and scrubs and lotions and conditioners and shampoos and body washes together in the tub in precise alchemical quantities. i smell like 314 different herbs and spices. my hair will not need washing for the next 500 days. my skin has developed protective chitinous scales. i step out of the tub and immediately slip and fall on a stray puddle of mane 'n tail and sprain my pussy
I love how Nintendo killed all the excitement for the Switch 2 by raising the prices of games by 30 bucks
"We want everyone to be able to experience the Switch 2" then why is it one william dollars.
Dogtier John!!!
I almost threw my phone.
Oh my god
I thought it was going to be a jumpscare maze, but it was far worse.
i think the near-extinction of people making fun, deep and/or unique interactive text-based browser games, projects and stories is catastrophic to the internet. i'm talking pre-itch.io era, nothing against it.
there are a lot of fun ones listed here and here but for the most part, they were made years ago and are now a dying breed. i get why. there's no money in it. factoring in the cost of web hosting and servers, it probably costs money. it's just sad that it's a dying art form.
anyway, here's some of my favorite browser-based interactive projects and games, if you're into that kind of thing. 90% of them are on the lists that i linked above.
A Better World - create an alternate history timeline
Alter Ego - abandonware birth-to-death life simulator game

Cookie Clicker - different but felt weird not including it. by Orteil.
if you're ever thinking about making a niche project that only a select number of individuals will be nerdy enough to enjoy, keep in mind i've been playing some of these games off and on for 20~ years (Alter Ego, for example). quite literally a lifetime of replayability.
since this post blew up, i've been wanting to do an addition with all of the recommendations from the comments and tags. but there's a lot of them. some people might be crazy enough to sit down and seriously put them all in one post with descriptions. those people are honestly sick in the head.
anyway, here's all of the recommendations from the reblogs. not all of them are text-based, but it's a great mixture of styles. also don't forget the links in the second paragraph of the OP which will take you to FMHY where there are a bunch more games listed.
