Now The Tables On The Other Foot

A place to post my fannish nonsense.

[ifeveristoday]

Be prepared to get comments like "Your hair is so pretty. You wrote her hair so pretty. Why is she so pretty?" And "Your writing is so good. I can really tell what he's saying and oh he smells so nice. That's a cool looking bag. Your beta has awesome shoes I bet. What's her name?"

Let the endless compliment cycle begin.

ID: a tweet by delgard / @antiquecipher: Leave comments on fanfic like you're drunk in the ladies room of the club. a reply from [japanese characters]: I'm a fanfic author and I endorse this

[fishbonetrombone]

I've always felt a real sense sadness for dudes, specifically straight ones that they don't know the instant and intense camaraderie of a ladies room at 1 in the morning. Where someone will pledge their life to you and invite to their wedding because you lent them a hair tie.

If you're one of those wonderful people still reading Miles From Nowhere please know I'm still working away on it. Had a brief hospital stay that slightly derailed things but I hope with a couple of days I'll have something for y'all.

At last, the mini comic is complete! Thanks again to the wonderful @fishbonetrombone for writing Miles from Nowhere. This comic is based on a scene from the fic. I especially can't get over when Jake is referred to as the "angry boy". It makes me giggle so hard. Definitely go read it if you haven't already. Transcript: Page 1: Steven: Do you want to play a game? Marc: ... Steven: Do you want to read? Marc: ... Steven: Are you sad? Marc: ... Steven: We can just be sad.

Page 2: ["... there's no noise but Steven hears something. Marc does too."] Steven: He's here. [Marc nods] Steven: He's sad. Let's bring him up. Marc: No. Steven: It'll be better to be sad together than be sad alone.

Page 3: Jake: GO AWAY!

Page 4: Steven: Will you come be sad with us? Marc: Please?

Page 5: Steven: Will you stay?

Page 6: Steven: I can tell you how they make mummies later. Marc: It's cool. And gross. ["Later on, they're going to laugh about brains coming out of a nose."] ["Right now, they lie in silence, being sad together."]

[fishbonetrombone]

This is amazing. It is, I think, the dream of all fanfic writers to get to see people be inspired by their work and create new art. @ubebonnie thank you so much, this is wonderful. The sweet little faces, the expressions. You did such amazing work. I'm a mess when it comes to layout, perspective and just putting characters into a realistic space and you did an amazing job. The way you told this scene is so beautiful, you picked different boys in moments to focus on and I was so pleasantly surprised by how it made the scene unfold.

Amazing work!

[ubebonnie]

Happy Halloween!

Here’s some Khonshu/Bird doodles based off the descriptions from the fic Miles from Nowhere by @fishbonetrombone . I really adore Bird from this fic. He’s such a goober hanging out with the boys. I hope I did him justice.

[fishbonetrombone]

My son! He’s so beautiful! I cannot say enough good things about these adorable spooky drawings. Love love love!!

reblog if you're an actual person IRL who gets genuinely upset if you catch someone using ChatGPT and view it as a serious moral failing

[fumbletron]

I do because hear me out:

We KNOW from years of research that the best way to stave off dementia is through puzzles and brain games. Essentially the brain is just like any of your muscle groups: if you don't use it, you will lose it. Time and age will break down your body faster the less you use it.

So what's happening with ChatGPT is that millions of people are outsourcing their *thinking*. I've seen it firsthand, got in an argument with someone and they just copy and pasted a ChatGPT answer WITHOUT EVEN READING IT. At least I assume they hadn't bothered to read it because the AI response *literally proved my point.* And no matter how many times I and others pointed this out to this person, he just kept going back and copy and pasting segments of the AI answer *that he didn't even bother to try to understand himself.*

An entire generation outsourcing their basic thinking to AI is going to lead to apocalyptic levels of dementia when these people hit their twilight years.

We've barely scratched the surface of the brainrot that is to come.

So yeah, I see outsourcing your thinking to AI as a genuine moral failing. The one thing you have that sets you apart from other creatures on this planet is that incredibly complex brain of yours, and you're *throwing it away* like it's a goddamn candy wrapper.

I love my job, but reblogging employment jelly for someone else I love.

[fishbonetrombone]

You know the economy is going downhill when you reblog a picture of goo like a well meaning auntie in the year 2004 sending you an email forward as unhinged as she is.

Can’t wait to see you at thanksgiving Sandra, may this goo bring me work.

[two-thirtyy]

Where do you see yourself in 5 years?

Look buddy, i’m just trying to make it to Friday.

[taykoutmccleod]

reblog if its friday and you made it

[trixic-frankenman-deactivated20]

[i-love-bernice-summerfield]

writing fanfiction is the true test of your knowledge. you write one or two sentences and realise you have no idea when lungs were discovered or how rich you had to be have glass windows in the 16th century

[bigandlong]

If you see this on your dashboard, reblog this, NO MATTER WHAT and all your dreams and wishes will come true.

[jae-felidae]

Oh hey! Haven’t seen this in forever! Didn’t reblog it when it came across me before, not gonna skip it this time, I need some good vibes.

[ultrafacts]

Sad update everyone, Tama recently passed away… An estimated 3,000 people, including railway officials, attended Tama the cat’s funeral on Sunday, days after she died of heart failure aged 16. [x]

[retro-geek-deactivated20220412]

For those who haven’t read articles about it, the local shrine elevated her to a god. She’s now the Eternal Stationmaster and patron god of the station.

[karinanotcinerina]

Beautiful.

[system-fail-ure-deactivated2021]

Now I’m crying thanks

[sapphic-matriarchy]

and a new cat was hired right?

[clarenecessities]

yep! her name is Nitama (essentially ”second tama” or “tama II”) and she served under Tama as an apprentice before being appointed her deputy

she works very hard

[beasti]

Everytime this crosses my dash, I reblog. It is the law.

[tooiconic]

I’m crying at 11pm over train cats

[sighinastorm]

Nitama, already now a mature cat (born 2010), has a protege named Yontama (fourth Tama, b. 2016).  There is no information available for either the physical befellment or tragic self-disgrace which has removed Santama from contention.

^Nitama majestic, and below with Yontama

Yontama.

[linkislost]

a legacy

[bemusedlybespectacled]

okay but actually what happened to santama (or sun-tama-tama, which is her name because it’s a pun on santama) was that she was basically sent to train for the position in okayama and they liked her so much they refused to send her back

[kindaoffkilter]

“Sun-tama-tama” (a pun off of “Santama”, lit. “third Tama”) was a calico cat sent for training in Okayama. Sun-tama-tama was considered as a candidate for Tama’s successor, but the Okayama Public Relations representative who had been caring for Sun-tama-tama refused to give the cat up writing, “I will not let go of this child, she will stay in Okayama.” [25]

As of September 2018, Sun-tama-tama is working as the stationmaster in Naka-ku, Okayama and appears occasionally on Tama’s Twitter account.

You are only allowed to scroll pass this after you pay tribute to the great Tama Station masters.

The shrine of Tama Daimyōjin (Great gracious deity Tama), next to the Kishi station where she worked.

Nitama presenting her yearly offerings to Tama Daimyōjin on the anniversary of Tama’s Death, June 23 (The offerings are presented by the company president, as Nitama is a cat and thus can’t hold the offerings herself) (Not pictured, but also present, Yontama)

[twimmythebabywitch]

you cannot pass without reblogging guys. i’m sorry, i don’t make the rules.

[dduane]

You can’t not reblog a goddess. It’s just what’s so. :)

[fandomsandfeminism]

So, fun fact- the manga Noragami has an arc where the main character, Yato (a minor kami/God that is down on his luck but trying to make it big time) goes to a council/conference for all the Gods in Japan.

And they are announcing the winner of the “up and coming god” award, and of course, Yato thinks it’s him.

But no-

ITS TAMA!

[dduane]

I will not see Manhattan again. But if I can I will damn well take the train to Nitama’s home station, some one of these days, and hope to greet the shrine of the Honorable Eternal Station Master.

Holy shit, I'm not dead.

Hey gang, I posted another chapter of the worlds longest fic (longest one in the fandom according AO3). I know there's a few folks who've been patiently waiting for me to post and guys I might have given up if it weren't for you. Thank you so much and welcome to another episode Marc, Steven and Jake have a bad time or 'Miles from Nowhere'
