Ok I wanna let y’all know now, this account has been around since 2011. If y’all see anything weird or cringe or whatever please take it with a grain of salt. I am but a little guy and just want to vibe on this site again.
Can we have a revolution already? I would like to contribute to society while also not being afraid I'm gonna lose my home if I don't work myself to the bone. I would love not to have to my job not take up 80% of my life.
Looking at most of the drawings I've made (old and new alike), I truly would love to do commissions since I never seem to have enough money (at a job that still barely pays me 20 cents above min wage after 2+ years), but the thing is I... Am not fluid (;^ω^)I only can draw within a very tight range (popular characters that have similar body types/sizes, with many references online, and with image references from Pinterest)
I can't do a lot but I can do what I can very well! Maybe one day I'd try out commissions (;ŏ﹏ŏ)
I think "People are always allowed to critique media, even indie media, for things that are lacking, ill thought out, or straight up bigoted" and "You should have reasonable expectations for indie creators capabilities, and really need to manage what you say to actual human beings" are two thought processes that really need to coexist

Hello Tumblr, this year I have updated the original post with an image ID. For You.
Anyway here’s the 2025 specifics. American Thanksgiving is 11/27 this year, so fairly late in the month. If your household is looking to cook turkey this year:
10-15 pounds: Start thawing at least 3-4 days before, on Sunday, November 23rd.
16-20 pounds: Start thawing at least 4-5 days before, on Saturday, November 22nd.
20-24 pounds: Start thawing at least 5-6 days before, on Friday, November 21st.
And don’t forget: The economy is shit this year, lots of people are being laid off, and grocery prices are skyrocketing. There has never been a better time to donate to food pantries, and/or to reach out to your neighbors and see how they’re doing.
Which doesn’t need to end when thanksgiving is over, either – there are some charities that are specific to Thanksgiving, but don’t do anything to support people after that date. So.
“There aren’t enough hours in a day.” There are actually. The problem is that we think 40 hour work weeks are an unavoidable fact of life.
The problem is that everyone has to work 8 hours, pretty much no exceptions, and with getting ready time + (unpaid) lunch + commute, “8 hours” is actually anywhere between 9 and 12, every single day, with more work to do when you get home because our society and culture was built around having one member of the household home full time and nothing has changed now that almost everyone works.
No wonder Americans are reliant on DoorDash and fast food, there’s no time or energy to cook. No one wonder mental and physical health are in shambles, many just spent all day sitting in fluorescent lights with little to no stimulation. “Just wake up earlier” “Just meal prep”… these are ok short-term, individual solutions, but the broader, systemic issue is obvious. We aren’t built for this. There’s no work-life balance. Genuinely, I think if our culture could normalize a shorter work week, many individuals’ biggest problems would simply evaporate.
The Outbursts of Everett True was a comic strip that ran in papers from 1905 to 1927, wherein the aforementioned Everett True regularly beat the everliving shit out of rude people as a warning to anyone else who might consider being rude. Men have not only been taking up too much room on public transport for about as long as public transport has existed, but the people around them have been irritated about it for at least a hundred years. The next time someone tries to claim that manspreading is a false phenomenon, please direct them to this strip so that Everett True can correct their misconceptions with an umbrella upside the head.
I have never before heard of Everett True, but if he “regularly beat the everliving shit out of rude people as a warning to anyone else who might consider being rude,” I have a strong spiritual connection with him.
I’m very lucky to own a book that’s a collection of most of these comics (sadly not all of them) and would highly recommend hunting these down if you can. Sorry for the lack of a scanner but phone photos will just have to do.
He was a enjoyable cuss who didn’t care for war mongering.
Especially profitable war mongering and excuses for it!
He certainly didn’t like selfish husbands and fathers!
Politicians who turned on their words once they got theirs weren’t safe.
He said fuck the police!
He absolutely didn’t like people ruining little things for kids.
He stood up for foreigners. Especially those doing their best to communicate with limited second language knowledge.
He was not having any tomfoolery when it came to gun safety and laws. Especially with youth involved.
You had better not abuse a animal with him nearby. He’d right that wrong real quick!
And best of all him and his wife were both prickly cusses together. Relationship goals.

I used "reader" in the thumbnail bc the text aligned a lot better & you can imagine her however you want ♡ here's her info page if you wanna know more abt her! working on designing her hero costumes atm
summary: Toshi and Charlotte (hero name: Painkiller) attended Heroes University of California together before partnering up for the rest of his stay in America. After they parted, many things were left unsaid. Decades later, she relocates to Japan, becoming a teacher at UA, and old feelings resurface in full force.
tags: slow burn, yearning for each other for their entire lives basically, fluff, flashbacks
“Oh! It's Painkiller-sensei!”
All Might's piercing blue eyes desperately searched for her down the path outside UA, feeling that familiar ease slip into his muscles the moment he found her.
“Charlotte.”
Jesus, even after so long, he always said her name with such intensity, you could almost hear all the things he wished he could have told her in the last three decades of yearning, all at once. Midoriya was watching their interaction as he always did, feeling like he shouldn't be there, but obsessively overanalyzing every breath either of them took.
“Toshi! Ah, Izuku, too! Sorry, one sec, work email…”
Truthfully, he was always fanboying at least a little. Not just one, but TWO former Number One heroes in his proximity?! Besides, her being one of the closest people to All Might, and still rumored to be lovers, so many years later? He was basically vibrating with excitement already, in addition to the squeal he’d just let out when he noticed her phone charm, bouncing lightly under the motions of her fingers across her phone screen.
“NO WAY?!?!?!?! THE SUPER ULTRA LIMITED EDITION, AMERICA ONLY, VERY FIRST DESIGN OF ALL MIGHT MERCH, PROTOTYPE YOUNG AGE ALL MIGHT!!!!!! MOST PEOPLE DON'T EVEN KNOW IT EXISTS!!!!”
The shine in Toshi's eyes grew brighter as he realized, his heart instantly swelling in his chest. His eyes met Charlotte's as she bit her lip, flustered from head to toe. Their longing stares turned into a simultaneous laugh, leaving Izuku listening to them with his own blush across his cheeks. Despite a few scuffs showing its age, it had obviously been treated with the greatest care.
“That old thing? You… kept it?”
Her expression melted into the sweetest smile, despite the fluster over her facial features still ridiculously obvious.
“Didn't you hear? It's the rarest.”
“Toshi, look at this! I drew you! Except, cuter, and, like, super perfect for a little keychain or phone charm! You said you've been asked for a prototype merch design, right? Here you go!”
He could never help returning her smile, just the same as always.
“It really is."
“Lottie! This is no time to leave that park bench - because I am here! With the first ever…”
Sporting the brightest grin, Toshi proudly pulled out a dangling phone charm, holding it to the side of his face and mirroring his signature pose, “-All Might merch! HAHAHA!”
Charlotte broke out into a giggle, rushing over to him. She placed an arm over his chest for support, rising to her tip toes for a better look.
“Ahahaha! It's even goofier than I thought it would be! It's so cute, though! Really looks like you! Oh-? You're turning kinda red!”
His laugh slowly dissipated into an awkward throat clear before snatching the charm into his palm, a large hand holding the tiny All Might out for her.
“It's the test one. I'd be honored if you kept it, since it's your design. It felt right.”
With a small smile and that annoyingly repetitive feeling of butterflies in her stomach, Charlotte gingerly took the phone charm from him, both of their eyes flickering to each-other as their skin touched. She attached it to her phone and held it up with a laugh, doing her best impression of him before the setting sun.
“Charlotte's favorite phone charm… is here!”
Shit, he was probably turning redder.
“We need to make some small changes, though. I'll simplify the suit design more, so it's easier to recognise on this small of a scale. Then you should be good to have them make the first batch and ship them out!” “Ah, I see! You're really good at this stuff, Lottie.” “Well, I am the most fashionable hero!”
Before he could think, Toshinori's hands had found her sides, lifting her up and spinning her in the air as she clutched his shoulders in surprise. He reveled in his favourite sound, one he wouldn't hear for much too long after they'd part.
“And also - the tallest!” “That's right! Wait-! I almost dropped Smallmight!” “Smallmight?” “Mhm! He's my buddy now!”
“Of course I kept him. I would never leave my Smallmight behind!”
Midoriya grabbed his head in shock, almost falling over from the overwhelming domesticity between them.
“THAT'S WHERE IT CAME FROM?!?!?!?!??!”
“Smallmight” Toshi mumbled to himself in the dark of their shared dorm room, turning in his bed; Dave was probably still in the lab, so he shouldn't bother him...
Unable to sleep, All Might reached out for his phone, unlocking it to a new notif.
‘Top secret image! Don't show this to anyone, it might be too scandalous!’
The selfie of Charlotte smooching her All Might phone charm startled him so badly, he jumped to his feet atop the mattress and hit the ceiling, leaving him a flustered mess as he rubbed his head.
In her own room, Charlotte laughed to herself, turning her lamp off and sliding into bed, staring at her chat with Toshi for a while as she waited for a response. It never came, but the phone ended up cuddled to her chest together with the little charm, idling to her lock screen of the three of them sharing a hug.
“Luckily, I only ever want my eyes to see it” he'd typed out right before falling asleep, but he couldn't find the courage to send it, and by the time he'd woken up, it was an embarrassing memory he tried to forget. His phone had died, anyway.
“What’s that bump on your head?” Dave asked him over breakfast the next morning, only to watch Toshi’s imposing frame deflate. “Don’t worry about it.”
