INTRO POST! FINALLY!

I’m probably forgetting some stuff, so this might get updated.

Pfp is Ellie in tlou2, header is my own space-inspired drawing

My name is Cas! I use he/they pronouns and I’m transmasc + nonbinary! I've also got adhd + autism. Unfortunately, I am American, so US politics will show up sometimes. Shit fucking sucks. I am a fic writer, but I’m sorta inconsistent on my posting. Find me here: X

#cas has thoughts is my original posts, #cas does things is my polls and asks and shit, and #cas writes things is my writing tag.

Current hyperfixations: the Pitt, the Last of Us, Alan Wake, the Amazing Digital Circus, Project Hail Mary

Long term interests: the Last of Us, the MCU, Supernatural, Doctor Who

I have many other fandoms and ships that will appear and disappear at will, but there are so many it isn't worth listing. You're always in for a surprise!

The above is a video shared by smrchildsadness on Twitter, showing a person participating in a pride parade exchanging a pride flag with a person standing on his (am using his pronoun based on the TikToks/Tweets of what happened) doorway who had a Portuguese flag. There are sounds of cheers and crying and the two people hug each other as they exchange the flags. The man at the doorway then waved kisses to the crowd within the pride parade.

The Tweet says: "NO YOU DONT UNDERSTAND HE WAS WAVING THE PORTUGUESE FLAG BECAUSE HE DIDN'T HAVE A PRIDE FLAG AND THEY TRADED FLAGS AND HE'S SO EMOTIONAL TO GET HIS OWN PRIDE FLAG I'M EMOTIONALLY RUINED"

For context, apparently they were worried that maybe he's a nationalist because he was waving the Portuguese flag and some nationalists opposing the pride march were waving that flag. But upon interacting with him, it turns out he didn't have have a pride flag and he wanted to wave *a* flag in support of the pride march. So they had an exchange and now he has his own pride flag 😭🥹.

The image above is a Tweet by kunwara_ladkaa that says "I'm crying so much right now (Image taken by Manuel Fernando Araújo/Lusa)". The image shows the same man from the pride parade crying as he hugs his new pride flag.

The above image is a Tweet by dudz_zZzz that says "ainda não parei de pensar nele," which according to Google translate from Portuguese to English is "I still haven't stopped thinking about him." The image is a drawing of the person from the pride parade, crying as he hugs his new pride flag.

Stratt: This is Dr Grace, he’s… not my assistant, some other word.

Grace: I’m her carer.

Stratt: Yeah, my carer. He cares so I don’t have to.

[somepomegranatetea]

“Dr. Grace.”

“Stratt.”

“Why do you call me that?”

“What? Stratt?”

“Just Stratt. Not Director Stratt. Not Ms. Stratt. Not…” 

“...Madam Stratt?”

“I hope not.”

“I’ve always called you Stratt. Why do you call me Dr. Grace?”

“It’s the appropriate title. You have a PhD.” 

“Carl calls me Grace, and I think it's nice. We’re friends. We’re like friends, too, aren’t we? You and I?”

.

.

.

“Where is Carl, anyway?”

“I don’t know. Not here.”

“Hm. You don’t look good. Are you cold?”

“I’m always cold, Dr. Grace.” 

“Have you been sleeping?”

“Do I ever?”

“Okay, fine. Have you had your two coffees?”

“Ha. No.”

.

.

.

“Does this mean you’ve given up?”

“...Excuse me, Dr. Grace?”

“Have you given up? The project. The mission. You think it won’t work?”

“I didn’t say that.”

“I didn’t ask if you said it.”

“I haven’t given up.”

“But you don’t think it’ll work.”

“I didn’t say that. I don’t know. It’s a long shot.”

“Hail Mary. I know. But you thought it would work, before.” 

“Well, I’m older now. Do you think it’ll work?”

“Me?”

“You.”

“I don’t know! How am I supposed to know? There are so many factors. What if the coma technology goes wrong? What if the fuel interacts unexpectedly with the environment up there? What if Tau Ceti’s immunity isn’t replicable?”

“What if. And by the time I find out, it’ll be too late.” 

“We.”

“What?”

“By the time we find out.”

“Right.”

.

.

.

“You really look cold. Maybe you should get someone to bring you a sweater.” 

“...Sure. I’ll do that. In a few minutes.”

“Okay.”

.

.

.

“It has to work, Dr. Grace. You understand that, don’t you?”

“Of course.”

“It has to work. You have to understand.”

“I know.”

“Do you?”

“Yes, I do! Geez, Stratt. Sometimes you scare me a little.”

“I don’t mean to.”

“I know. But you do, anyway.”

“I just want to know you’re taking this seriously.”

“C’mon. Have I ever failed you, when it mattered?”

.

.

.

“Do you want a Skittle?”

“That’s okay, Dr. Grace.”

“You always say no.”

“Because those are your Skittles.” 

“I never run out, you know.”

“And you won't.”

"Well, that's kind of nice."

"I hope so."

. 

.

.

“Stratt?”

“Yes, Dr. Grace?”

“I’m not really here.”

“...I know, Dr. Grace.”

“You still look cold.”

“I know.”

can I get a job as an editor but the only thing I do is correct when someone uses the word "prone" when they mean "supine"

[sadgi]

thank you wikipedia for this really good image

[sadgi]

a helpful mnemonic for everyone

[talkwithtatsu]

too good for tags

[headspace-hotel]

This mnemonic has a permanent place in my life.

Every time in yoga class when my instructor would say "now get into a prone position" I would think "ah yes on your pronis"

the blog killing axolotl is one of my favorite things that has ever happened on this website because talking about it afterwards sounds like an inside joke or perhaps a prank. like always be on the lookout for the blog killing axolotl. he can kill your blog. it happened to me once trust me.

[anthonycrowley]

there’s this very specific image of an axolotl plushie with the phrase ‘i am at my limit’ that i’m not posting for obvious reasons (even though i’m inoculated because i tried to post it before) that if you try to post it tumblr will immediately delete your blog. like completely. your blog is just gone if you try to post the image. you can get it reinstated but you have to go to staff and be like ‘hi my blog was killed by a picture of an axolotl can you please give me it back.’ we found this out completely accidentally when brianna brucespringsteendotcom made the image and then posted it and then her blog was just gone, at which point we started to experiment. anyway, a while later we found that if someone submits the image and you don’t know what it is and you try to post it it will also nuke your blog. this obviously all sounds like an incredibly stupid internet hoax so when you try to warn people about the blog killing axolotl you just sound like you’re trolling but i promise you, from the bottom of my heart, that we are not.

[anthonycrowley]

people in the tags are like ‘i don’t know if this is true but it sounds wild’ i feel like the old man you meet in the first five minutes of a horror movie that tells the teenagers on spring break not to visit the creepy old house at the end of the road

FAQs:

1. Is this the image of the axolotl plushie with the fire behind it?

NO! that is a different, more well known axolotl image that does not delete your blog.

2. Can I see the image?

for obvious reasons i'm not reblogging it to this post. however, since so many people asked, i put it safely in a google doc for you. go nuts.

3. hey, i remember this! it was over a year ago. does this still delete your blog?

someone in my askbox has informed me, under certain circumstances, yes. and that image is live, so be careful with it.

4. have you figured out what causes it?

same person in my askbox said this

which was my first theory before i went down the source code rabbit hole, although there must be a certain threshold for editing it since in the past people have posted censored versions where it still deletes your blog.

5. can i use it as my icon/can i send it to someone in dms/can i upload it if it's not in a post/can i post an edited version of the picture?

back when this first happened if you did any of the above it deleted your blog, unless it was pretty heavily edited (someone in my discord put him behind bars - you know like he was caged - and i think when we uploaded that it didn't delete the person's blog? i could be wrong though). see the above ask for the most recent information. someone in the notes earlier (don't remember who, sorry) also said that you can upload the original via mobile and it kills your blog, but if you try to post it on desktop it blocks it from being uploaded, so that's also another route you could go if you want to experiment.

6. why have i never heard about this before?

spnblr is more complex and layered than you can possibly imagine it's not my fault you can't see it for the majesty it is.

7. this still sounds fake.

hey man, weird thing to lie about. but the picture and all the information you need to test it out is right here. post it to your blog. go on. prove me wrong. 🙂

8. didn't people try to remotely delete neil gaiman's blog by submitting that image to him?

we did do that yeah.
