Alright, my dearest friends, mutuals, followers, and other assorted Tumblr users, I have made a decision. April Fools is more fun as a time to be silly than a time to lie and confuse people, so I'm going to do something that people will hopefully find stupid and fun.

On April 1st 2024, I'm going to be very cringe and make a post where I get to explain something from a franchise that I am very passionate about, Kingdom Hearts.

Since I will be posting it here on Tumblr - thereby subjecting you all to my autistic rambling - I have decided to make a poll to ask you (who knows little to nothing about the series) what I should talk about!

What part of Kingdom Hearts lore should I subject you all to?

1. Sora & The Sortas (aka Welcome to the Heart Hotel)

2. Xehanort & The 'Norted Cohort (aka Organization XII)

3. The Many Ways a Keyblade Wielder Can Kill You

4. Every Faction Sora and Co. Have Beef With

5. The Terrible Tragedy of Trios

6. I Swear Mickey Did Not Abandon a Woman in Hell For Over A Decade

Voting ended onMar 31, 2024

I'm also just genuinely curious about what options will be picked. I'm gonna tag some people that I especially want to see, and it would be fun if anyone who votes leaves which option they picked (just say #1-6 the actual options are way too long-) and why!

Anyway, if y'all wouldn't mind - @mintchocolatemagic @ril-ard @ancestorlegacy @pink-bandita

Hopefully this ends up being a fun way to tell people about stuff I'm passionate about, and I might even do it again some other time :3

[demispark]

No matter which option is selected I will be making a post dedicated to Dream Eaters.

This cannot be prevented. You must know of their majesty.

[demispark]

One last addition: I'll probably get to all of the options eventually, so this poll will just determine which I do first.

Writing one post was extremely fun, so I'm excited to do more! :3

[demispark]

And The Results Are In!

"I Swear Mickey Did Not Abandon a Woman in Hell For Over A Decade"

"Sora & The Sortas (aka Welcome to the Heart Hotel)"*

"The Many Ways a Keyblade Wielder Can Kill You"*

"Every Faction Sora and Co. Have Beef With"

"The Terrible Tragedy of Trios"

"Xehanort & The 'Norted Cohort (aka Organization XII)"

*The 2nd place and 3rd place results tied, so I decided to place them in the order they were placed in the poll options

I can't say I'm surprised which topic got 1st place, it is kind the most provocatively titled option. Not that I'm complaining, that one was the post I was probably most excited to write >:3

As previously mentioned, there will be a couple of additional posts:

A secret 7th topic much sillier than the rest (probably would've gotten 1st or 2nd place if I had thought to add it to the poll) that I couldn't resist writing, which is scheduled to release at 8:30 AM EST

As a companion piece to the 4th-place topic, I will be making a more in-depth post about one of the enemy factions, the Dream Eaters. After the 3rd and 4th-place topics, it should be clear as to why.

I've been so excited to see the results of this post all week, especially since it got way more attention than I was expecting! Sure, 55 votes isn't that much on this site, but I was expecting that a few friends if any would vote, so I'm really happy that more people were interested!

I think I'm going to make a masterpost sometime so that all of the posts will be in one place, and I'll update it with links as I write. I don't want to keep reblogging this and making the chain longer and longer, so I hope you'll check back tomorrow!

Got it memorized?

Hey guys… have you ever made a shitpost just for the fun of it, then got a little too invested into it?

Cause uhhh…

I’m losing my mind.

i hate the way fat antagonists have their weight moralized and used as a metaphor for greed and corruption and i hate the way it's overcorrected into fat people being "soft squishy friend-shaped cupcakes who look like they give incredible hugs" and i long for the day we have nuanced, interesting, and complicated fat characters and most of all i long for the day people are normal about fatness

Every day I handle more money than I will ever make. Every day.

At the start of my employment, my boss showed me videos of people stealing, and we both had a chuckle about it. How silly they were! There was a camera overhead, and it’s not to watch the shoppers. See, we can’t actually stop shoplifters. They get away with it maybe nine out of ten times. But we, who are watched and tallied and witnessed? We are always caught.

At first it was hard to hold one hundred dollars bills. An amount I had never seen before. An amount that didn’t exist in my household. It’s normal now. Here is something that is not for me.

“What the hell, I’ll take another,” says the man, pondering our 200 dollar watches. What the hell. Total comes to 580 and not even a flinch in his face. I have been working for 11 hours today and made only 110 dollars. It will go to my rent. Today I work for free, it feels. When I get my check, I will have 35 dollars left for food and saving.

The six hundreds he hands me go into the cash register. For a moment, I imagine having money. Then I put it away, counting out his change.

I know for a fact we sell our products for double what they are worth. That I could be making commission. That they could hand me those 580 dollars and change my life and not even mark the difference in their checkbooks. He’s not the only sale they make today, but I am the reason they made it. He’s not the only one spending 600 dollars, but if I hadn’t spent two hours with him telling me about his life, he wouldn’t have spent any. I go home. I don’t own a watch.

I have watched and rewatched a video on how to make salmon four ways. My shopping list is always the same. Pasta. Rice. Tuna. If I can afford butter it was a good week. I dream of the world I will never walk in, where I can throw the best fish fillet in the cart with a shrug. I hold hundreds in my hand and look up at the camera. I put them under the cash drawer.

I go to work. I scrap together my savings. I eat my bowl of rice slowly. My manager takes a paid week off from work just for his birthday. He owns a yacht. 

I’m not worth the cost of a watch.

i wrote this while i was working at orlando’s walt disney world parks.

i was part of their college program. i moved to the state for it. they legally owned the building i was living in and still charged me rent. i ostensibly was being charged to work for them. it was a 2 bedroom apartment and they placed 6 adult women in it in forced triples.

as many as one in ten disney employees have experienced homelessness while working for the company. despite huge efforts to unionize, strike, or otherwise demand fair treatment; disney has refused to increase employee quality of life.

disney admits publicly that a good portion of their success is because the employees (“cast members”) are dedicated, passionate, and selfless. this is never reflected in pay. even “face” characters (ie those that are princesses etc) make barely above a minimum wage.

at the time that i worked there, i made $8.50 an hour. at one point i was asked to create a human shield around a bag because a bomb dog had alerted to it. for eight fucking dollars an hour.

i now work a very cushy office job. i have bought the salmon and cooked it all four ways.

i go to the store. i am nice to the person behind the counter. she looks up at the camera while she counts out my change. there is nothing fundamentally different about her and i.

we are both worth more than the watch, anyway.

I just wanted to add this quote from the peppermint patty peanuts wiki page about Charles M. Schulz and his relationship with his gay cousin. The source here leads to a book that I did not read but the original source is Schulz's wife who confirmed this in an interview. If I can find the interview again I will link it here but uh. just in case someone tries to claim Schulz was a homophobe on this post again.

[manuciruja]

awww the like button turns into a rainbow when you press it! that's so cute...hey staff what's with all the trans women you keep nuking?

[manuciruja]

i think we should be ridiculing them more for this. you don't get to try and go all "queer website" when your staff likes to go on nuking sprees targeting the trans fem users

[cpericardium]

happy pride

the state does not need to assign you a sex, nor does it need to keep inalterable record of it btw

steven universe future captured what i think is actually a very specific feeling that i dont think i ever saw captured anywhere else which is the feeling of being a kid with kind of messed up relatives who were shitty to you and then you grow up into a messed up adult and you meet back with those relatives and they sorted their shit out, maybe they went to yoga, maybe to therapy, maybe they got a dog, and you are like "ok good for you, youre not that person anymore, but what about all the harm you caused me?"

I think I’m literally never gonna be sick of this masterpiece. I think watching it on a loop for eight hours could fix me. Dancing’s what clears my soul. Dancing’s what makes me whole.

[dimmadoome]

I just love that this very video is an accumulation of thousands of years worth of art made by people who have never met each other. The concept of this video was so completely unfathomable to every single artist who made the sculptures and yet they’ve all put something toward the creation of it.

TARGET AUDIENCE REACHED

[revizyonist]

med people are so annoying "This family's 8 year old child who was about to go through a major surgery and kept crying that she was hungry so they pitied her and gave her food, she then had a heart attack in the surgery. They're so stupid 😒" girl they didn't know that could happen or why it happens. it takes so little time to explain to them that will happen instead of telling them "no food" with no explanation 10 times

[revizyonist]

"Before surgery, your body’s reflexes that protect your airway are relaxed by anesthesia. If there’s food or liquid in your stomach, it will near certainly come back up and go into your lungs, which can cause choking, a severe lung / heart infection or even a heart attack. That’s called aspiration, and it is life-threatening. It's hard, but it's only a single day to prevent near certain death. Not eating or drinking beforehand massively lowers the risk and helps prevent these life threatening situations under anesthesia." <- TIP: patients have brains which allows them to receive information just like you

[ancelineonline]

I have four kids. I’ve had one or another of them need some kind of surgical procedure that requires anesthesia four or five times over the past 15 years.

This Tumblr post is the first time someone has explained to me *why* I couldn’t feed them before those instances.

I’m not stupid. I understood that just fine. Hell, my kids would have understood that just fine. But no one bothered to tell us.

[bowditch]

i did know this before having kids (i have six). we have a kid that's needed multiple procedures requiring anesthesia. and every single time, i am asked multiple times if i'm sure he was not given any food or water after a certain point.

every single time i have had to say, "i understand that if he had food or water, he could aspirate it into his lungs under anesthesia. i am not lying to you." THEN someone would make a little note and i would stop being repeatedly asked.

not a single time was that risk explained to me. the only reason it came up was because i already knew. i still don't understand why it isn't standard pre-op counseling or pre-op check information, when me as a parent acknowledging the actual risk also put THE MEDICAL STAFF at ease because i conveyed that i had informed understanding as reason to not lie about giving my kid food.

"maybe some people will get nervous and refuse surgery" okay so they need more counseling about risks and anxiety, not less information in a way that actually does endanger their child or themselves!
