I haven't had a fandom since Voltron ended and I really really miss it. I kept writing for both Sterek and Sheith for awhile but as I drifted away from them, nothing ever took their place. There's nothing I got interested in enough to seek out a community. I read some fic for a few things, but I never found anything that hooked me so deeply that I just had to go find my people.

I hate that that part of my life seems to be over. It wasn't something I intentionally stepped away from, but I lost it all the same.

hey real quick can anybody help me find this image that I’ve seen before here on tumblr. it looks like this

the button doesn’t necessarily say “Elucidate the Rapture” but it does say something that’s kind of lengthy and has religious connotations. the woman pushing the button has an expression of indescribable smugness. there might be other buttons on the machine (?) she is pressing.

FOUND IT

[andmaybegayer]

Oh this is only the first image in the Eschatron 9000 Series

[andmaybegayer]

and the finale, because of the Tumblr image limit

[piglii]

thanks this is part of an even grander incomprehensibleness than I could have expected

[a-third-attempt]

I cannot believe that this is a website where you can ask “hey i think i saw a weird image once” and put a bad stick figure drawing of it and someone will be like “oh yeah that’s the first installment of a 12-part post-ironic apocalypse fever dream photoshop series” and just hand you a dozen of the most unhinged images you’ve ever seen in your life, that still have a better three act structure than most modern cinema

[flurgerbla]

I dont think thats the whole photoset…. I found one more

But from what i can gather thats Crystal Thierry, also known as page73girl. Who seems to have been a model for the now defunct biggestletdown.com…

But i have no idea when the eschatron 9000 pictures were made or for that matter the original photos that were used to make it

[mckitterick]

this is far more than “random person in 2005ish creates surreal visual narrative” - let’s go deeper down the rabbit hole, shall we?

to Immanentize the Eschaton means to bring about utopian conditions and create heaven on Earth

the phrase is first cited in the Discordian religious text, Principia Discordia (1963), for whom Discord (aka Eris) is goddess:

the first line of Robert Anton Wilson and Robert Shea’s 1975 The Illuminatus! trilogy: “It was the year when they finally immanentized the Eschaton.”

in Frederik Pohl’s The Eschaton Sequence (1997 - 1999), the human race is caught up in a galactic war between two alien races attempting to immanentize the eschaton

in Ken Macleod's The Stone Canal (1997), one of the chapters is “Another crack at Immanentising the Eschaton”

Crystal Thierry’s (aka the modern Discordia / Eris) narrative lives in esteemed company

here’s what the warning in the image says btw because i wanted to read it but it was too blurry so i had to spend several minutes hunting for a version with better resolution, so I’m posting it here so nobody else has to make that same journey

“DO NOT OPERATE THE ESCHATRON 9000 UNLESS YOU’RE REALLY, REALLY SERIOUS ABOUT DESTROYING THE WORLD”

also just noticed the labels on the dials on the left side of the device’s control panel:

“MAYHEM” and “DESTRUCTION” are both turned all the way up

Wacom recently asked me to talk about why I make queer comics, and given there are multiple bills right now floating around in congress that are effectively "we will kill your livelihood if we get a sniff of queer" I had some pretty strong, simply feelings to relay.

You can read the interview here, you can buy my graphic novel featuring a gay vampire here, and you can call your congressmen about rejecting HR 2616, HR 8705, HR 7661 using 5calls.org (they don't have these specific bills listed as things to call about, but luckily you can talk about whatever you want on the phone)

hi! i was going through your answered asks and previous posts where i saw you use the words proship/proshipper and profic. could you please define these terms? i've just heard them used a lot (not just on your blog but a few others too) and i'd like to know what they mean. as far as i understand it means that you're for shipping any and all characters with each other regardless of whether or not they have support from canon?

if you've already answered an ask similar to this i'm sorry

proship means “you believe people can ship whatever they want even if the ship is taboo and controversial (like incest, an adult and a minor, or a sex offender and their victim, etc), even if you are personally uncomfortable with the ship. so proship covers everything, be it a canon and healthy ship, a non-canon ship, or a taboo ship. the core value is that you can separate fiction from reality and you basically mind your own business and let people ship whatever they want as long as no one in real life is harmed. so even if you personally find a ship disgusting, as long as you don’t shame or harass people who enjoy the ship and just mind your own business, ignore/mute/block what you don’t want to see, then by the definition you’re proship.”

being proship also means you’re against censorship and you’re against harassing real people over fiction.

proship and profic overlap a lot.

profic means the same thing as proship, the only difference is that while proship focuses on ships, profic focuses on fanfics. but their core values are the same thing: “censorship is bad. don’t harass real people over fiction. curate your own internet experience, mind your own business and let others do whatever they want as long as it’s fiction and no one in real life is harmed.”

[mundanemisfortune]

You might say that the only ship proshippers are opposed to is the censorship.

Clerks smile and 'flip off' security camera while 'sneaking' immigrants out of courthouse: DOJ

Two Utah court clerks have been dubbed "anti-ICE vigilantes" after they were allegedly caught "sneaking" immigrants out the back door of the

[antifainternational]

That's how you show real solidarity!

"After they overheard that ICE was at the courthouse to arrest someone, they improperly accessed court databases to determine who was not born in the United States," a DOJ detention filing says. "They then snuck every suspected illegal alien who was at the courthouse out a back door, where ICE, who was waiting in the parking lot for their target to leave the building, could not see them."

Think about what you can do at your job or in your daily life to resist fascism when the opportunity presents itself!

i don't really want to weight in on the "using big words in your writing is ableist" discourse happening on tiktok because i'm like 90% certain it's an anti-intellectual psyop to stir up drama in online circles to promote the use of ai to summarize literally everything and thus feeding the LLMs and lowering the populace's mistrust of such tools but i also have to say: dictionaries and thesauruses are the most accessible they've ever been. if you use an e-reader of any kind you can look up a word without leaving the page. there's a plethora of online dictionaries and if you just type a word + "meaning" into google it'll usually give you a definition. we used to have pocket dictionaries we used when reading in class. i have two on my shelf right now that i used in high school. stop letting the fascists purposefully misuse anti-ableism rhetoric to trick you into never thinking again.

I just remembered that this was a thing that was HILARIOUS in 2006 and apparently that was ten years ago now.

Old people: join with me in remembering how funny we found this on LiveJournal.

Young people: look at this lolrus, it’s so happy, it has a bucket.

And then they stealed away the bucket and we realised we had fucked up a perfectly good elephant seal and given it anxiety.

[pipistrellus]

listen this vintage meme is high quality and i will hear nothing said against it

20 years. I am not happy about this.

I’m delighted at the bucket reappearing but dismayed at the passage of time

Happy 20 years to Lolrus and his bucket!

The weather lately has been absolutely perfect in the evening to go sit on the balcony and enjoy being outside. I'm not outdoorsy, and going outside in the sun is basically a cardinal sin for me, so the rare moments during the year where it's cool and clear and comfortable are a treasure.

I brought my dinner out and have my boy lying next to me and I'm reading and breathing in fresh air and this is basically what life should be like.
