happy june to everyone, especially my fellow aroaces
ryland grace is aroace. however he is also stratt’s dead wife, rocky’s red string of fate starcrossed soulmate, & intensely violently homosexual for mark “simon iron lung” iplier. all things are true & all things can coexist. peace & love on planet erid
It’s Sunday my dudesss. Time for your weekly Second Backup AU dose. (PREV)
back in January, my friend @bustedjaws on tumblr dot com came to me and told me i needed to make markiplier and ryan gosling gay, and then i did. in February, i posted it, and (to my knowledge) it is the first fanart made of bloodstar, now deemed by the fandom bloodymary AND IM HONORED TO HAVE CREATED THIS SHIP
💬 11 🔁 41 ❤️ 317 · need to draw more of this man, gotta refine his style, and also phm doodles because yes its relevant look at these path
AND THEN MARKIPLIER ACKNOWLEDGED OUR EXISTENCE (timestamp) AND HONESTLY IM SO FUCKING HAPPY DUDE
all jokes aside, even if this ship wasn't nearly as big as it currently is, i would still be shipping it to this day. and as big of an ego i have about this, this fandom and community wouldn't be what it is without everybody that ships them. like yeah did i technically make them? probably, but it's not important to me that people know my contributions to the bloodymary fandom, it's important to me that people came together to ship these two.
so many people in the fandom either stumbled across this or thought of this on their own and then found that there was a community and fandom for all of this. because the community is so kind and happy about wanting these two doomed spacemen to be happy together.
and you know what? im happy markiplier knows. im happy that he's able to see the love that we have for his blorbo and ryan gosling's blorbo, and im not ashamed of that.
"Bloodymary is fucking peak!!" I scream at the enraged mob, hollering at me to die.
"He's right!" A voice echoes from the back of the crowd.
I raise my head- Markiplier from YouTube is smiling at me.
"Ok, wrap him up and put him on the ship. And add 10 kg skittles, twizzlers and instant ramen to the food supplies. "
"But ..."
"He needs red40 for optimal brain function. 10 kg of each, assorted flavors, thanks."
I REFUSE to believe grace never left a message for his students in the recordings he sent to earth alongside the beetles. Those are his kids and he will give them a proper goodbye and some closure after their 7th grade science teacher got non-consensually shot into the stratosphere by The Government™.
"Hey kiddos..."
AARRRGHH RELEASE MEEE!!
im thinking about grace's scars on his skin that were left by rocky after he tried to bring him to safety. grace finding comfort in having something to remember his best friend for after they part ways, even though he promised he would never let himself forget. grace enjoying the thought that even if he's not one his scars make him feel like he's too part of erid's children- your past, who you are and who you care for forever engraved on your skin for all to see.
thinking about grace meeting simon for the first time- disoriented, butchered and fundamentally changed by the blood ocean- floating like a corpse on the surface of his artificial sea.
grace finding himself crushed to the ground by this... it would be difficult to call him a man- the arm he used to instinctually protect himself is now dripping with blood, much warmer than the one coating the stranger's face; the flesh of his muscle twitches at the sensation of two different rows of teeth clamping down on it- one much much sharper than the other and a pair or eyes so alien yet so fucking terrified.
grace who spends months coaxing him out of hiding and simon never missing a day where he lets his gaze fall on the freshly mangled flesh of this kind patient man, who's not afraid to wait for him even after every mistake or incomprehension no matter how big or small.
grace tracing all of his scars while laying in bed next to a softly snoring simon and an ever watchful rocky, thinking about all the people he cares about and how lucky he is to have had the chance to build something so beautiful and precious.
if grace ever gets a chance to meet rocky and adrian's pebbles you can bet your ass this little space loser will get excited over teaching his best friend's kids until he realizes at least one of them gets rocky's exact attitude
"oh my god they're just like you... oh my god they're just like you..."
reblog if you’re anti censorship and against harassing real people over fictional characters
I always forget there are maga people on tumblr, this doesn’t feel like a website you’d find them on, so to keep them away:
Reblog if your blog is a maga free zone because if it wasn’t clear enough fuck ice, fuck maga, fuck Trump, Fuck Rowling, and fuck all the other bigots I missed
the anti-ai oath
(with your hand in a bunch of pages of ao3’s source code)
I [tumblr or ao3 username], do solemnly swear that all my slop is my own, and that no ai was ever used in the creation of it,
and that while it may be shit, it is my shit, created with my own two paws.
I acknowledge should I ever break this oath, I will be banned from ao3 for life, and will face execution by firing squad.
amen.
gay men.
a writing competition i was going to participate in again this year has announced that they now allow AI generated content to be submitted
their reasoning being that "we couldn't ban it even if we wanted to, every writer already uses it anyway"
"Every writer"?
come on
Reblog if you're a writer who doesn't use AI.
decentralize and clean up your life!!!
use overdrive, libby, hoopla, cloudlibrary, and kanopy instead of amazon and audible.
use firefox instead of chrome or opera (both are made with chromium, which blocks functionality for ad-blockers. firefox isn't based on chromium).
use mega or proton drive instead of google drive.
get rid of bloatware
use libreoffice instead of microsoft office suite
use vetted sites on r/FREEMEDIAHECKYEAH for free movies, books, games, etc.
use trakt or letterboxd instead of imdb.
use storygraph instead of goodreads.
use darkpatterns to find mobile game with no ads or microtransactions
use ground news to read unbiased news and find blind spots in news stories.
use mediahuman or cobalt to download music, or support your favorite artists directly through bandcamp
make youtube bearable by using mtube, newpipe, or the unhook extension on chrome, firefox, or microsoft edge
use search for a cause or ecosia to support the environment instead of google
use thriftbooks to buy new or used books (they also have manga, textbooks, home goods, CDs, DVDs, and blurays)
use flashpoint to play archived online flash games
find books, movies, games, etc. on the internet archive! for starters, here's a bunch of David Attenborough documentaries and all of the Animorphs books
burn your music onto cds
use pdf24 (available online or as a desktop app) instead of adobe
use unroll.me to clean your email inboxes
use thunderbird, mailfence, countermail, edison mail, tuta, or proton mail instead of gmail
remove bloatware on windows PC, macOS, and iOS X
remove bloatware on samsung X
use pixelfed instead of instagram or meta
use NCH suite for free software like a file converter, image editor, video editors, pdf editor, etc.
feel free to add more alternatives, resources or advice in the reblogs or replies, and i'll add them to the main post <3

ok so my ability to write anything consistent has been temporarily siphoned away from me but i NEED to share a vision with you guys.
after a few months of traveling with the apocalyptic family, Orion discovers he apparently has developed some feelings for the very big very handsome guardian in charge of the group of feral children. And who can blame him, really? Tall, rich and a Father! Zoowe-mama!! Too bad he most likely has no chance to begin with like c'mon he's sooo out of his league it's not even funny...
Shockwave wants to bag that human and he wants to bag him NOW! Running into Orion had been a particularly pleasant surprise: having someone to aid him in managing ten rambunctious kids while traversing the apocalypse, was a very welcomed thing- and that someone being exceptionally endearing was just an addition to it all! But alas, he and the human come from two very different worlds- two souls forever cursed to never truly vow their love for one another in fear of painful rejection *clutches her pearl necklace*
The children are so fucking done- the only two adults believe they're good at being subtle about their feeling for each other when they're clearly painfully NOT! God, they might be children but they're not stupid- Skids suffers the worst of it all being the only reliable translator between mer and human language and trust me you don't know how awkward it is not only watching your parents clumsily flirt but being the one who's in charge of making that communication happen!!
To put an end to it all the kids start hatching a plan: raid an abandoned high quality clothing store and steal some suits (they're all clearly too big for any of them- but it only gets ridiculous when Blue tries his own and gets completely drowned by it + the twins sharing one jacket like two racoons in a trench coat situation). Next they find a half destroyed restaurant and try to tidy up a bit to set the right atmosphere (TC and Soundwave end up being the two in charge of this).
Without revealing anything they manage to ambush Orion and get him to wear one of the more fancy clothes they found in hopes to fix whatever fashion catastrophe has hit this man. After they sort of forcefully get him to a secondary location- aka the restaurant (no it's not kidnapping if you live in a sunken lawless city) where Shockwave is waiting for them at a table that looks comically small compared to him.
Orion just computer crashes for a minute because maybe it is the atmosphere, maybe the moon and the stars are twinkling brighter this evening or maybe it is the background lull of the gently crashing waves, but tonight- tonight the mer is a beacon of radiating beauty and he- little plain simple old mundane Orion- is the sole focus of those crystalline blue eyes...
The evening is a success, of course!
Blue became their waiter, even putting on a very bad french accent and using a piece of algae as a fake mustache. The food tasted horrendous but it was totally worth it saying the smiles on their kids faces after finishing their plates.
And if at the end of their date, after the kids ran off to bed- basking in each other company they shared a silent kiss nobody was there to witness it besides the quite starry sky.
ah i love them they remind me of this image /hj🩷
au belongs to the lovely lovely @keferon :D
Napping underwater
@keferon i don’t know how to thank you for the atmosphere and the ideas you give to your AU’s, here’s what you work inspire to me. Yes it’s an apocalypse. Well ……they will die after cuddling.
What if instead of magic being what turned the seal skin a part of drift it was some stuff that mutaded the leviathans/funky chemicals released in the tsunami that then reacted with mer dna that of the seal skin wich after he wore it a while began to what it did.
Just a wierd idea i got
So let's instead of using magic of love and friendship make the whole turning process be very unnatural and creepy and painful is what I'm hearing?
Yeah okay you have a good point. His whole character development would feel off if he just became a mer instead of making conscious effort to learn and change.
But I still want to throw someone in the toxic chemicals. I need enrichment.
shockwave slowly getting sick through their adventure hiding it all the way until he's basically done and when he gets the kids to safety he just... let's himself go to the toxic chemicals BOOM post empurata like shockwave orrr we could just throw prowl in the toxic chemicals he looks too happy lmaoo
