Perhaps the simultaneously worst and best thing I ever did at work was admit I used to write (bad and clearly written by someone inexperienced) Doctor Who smut because now whenever I mention something I've written no matter the fandom my coworkers assume there's sex (there's not).
eventually New Who will become Middle Period Who
I started shipping Matis (an OC created for an AU, for those just joining us) with Asari because I thought it would be funny if Matis had a small lil crush on Asari but put it aside so it didn't interfere with their Battle Subway work. Then I thought it would be funny if they didn't know Asari reciprocated it for the exact same reason.
Now I sit here trying to get them paired together in Tomodachi Life so they can have the relationship they can't have in the Pokemon Trainer AU. I be seeing shit like this trying to get the RNG to work in my favor:
MY FAVORITE ZELDA FIC UPDATED FOR THE FIRST TIME IN TWO YEARS, LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
The midjourney stuff just reminds of when we were trying to find a new platform to host the ao3 donation form, and companies kept trying to tell me about all their "ai" features that would track donor engagement, and figure out the optimal pattern to email individual donors asking for follow up donations, and all the ways they suggest we manipulate people into staying on our websites. It was a great way to filter out who either wasn't listening to us when we described our ethics and donor base, or just didn't believe us.
Now granted ao3 is a unique case based on a) the amount of page views we get in any given time period and b) the fact that most donors absolutely do Not want to be identified as such anywhere, (the default "list of recent donors" module got nuked Immediately) but it surprised me some that the concept of "donors who value their privacy and would be furious at even the whiff of AI" is unique. Some of us really are just existing in different worlds.

#I just started dropping '2.5 Billion page views a month'#into conversations as early as possible bc they would Not believe me otherwise#it was right up there with having to say 'csam attacks' to get them to take my compartmentalization of information concerns seriously#turns out those are the magic words#otw#op
The last part was kind of insane, honestly. When we started changing platforms for the donor database, I kept telling them that yes I was aware we already had an account for the volunteer database, and no that could not be connected to the donor database. And they said yes fine sure and then connected them anyway. And I called them back and said, excuse me, I'm confused, I can see both databases. And they said, well, yeah, but it's only you, someone has to be able to see both databases to give other users access. The other users can't see both. And I said, no, we have been asking for a completely separate database. I should not be able to see both. And they said, you are one organization, one organization can't have two databases. And I said, last year someone used our volunteer email list to commit approximately one thousand felonies. Please feel free to imagine how much worse it could have been had they had a way to use volunteers' email addresses to get their legal names. We do not want this to be something anyone can do no matter how much we trust them. Let me describe those felonies to you in more detail. And they emailed me two hours later and said, you can have two separate databases.
This post feels like watching an iceberg go by in clear water. The amount of stuff going on beneath the surface of AO3 just astonishes.

Approximately one THOUSAND felonies
I think the reason I can enjoy vastly different takes on DKC lore and characters is because when I see a take I desperately want to know more about, be it that person's take or an AU of their take, I don't force my own headcanons into it and just make extrapolations and play with it in my head until either I'm content or that person posts more about it.
I do this because I know I am annoying and don't wish to bother or put pressure on people to share if they don't wanna. 💛
But also if you post frequently about your DKC headcanons/take, know I am in your walls waiting patiently for the next post. 💛💛
Nothing much has happened in Tomodachi Life which is why I haven't posted about it in a bit, but the good news is Gaster got himself a gf.
Ironically, it's a character I made using the game. Her name is Mycella and I imagine her being like a queen of faeries. Even funnier is she's been crushing on him for a long time, so I guess they've spent enough time together (I always see them hanging out) that he developed feelings for her.
Ok so I forgot to draw Mycella but the better news is they're married now

Sometimes I laugh at that "1st drawing of the character vs 150th drawing of the character" picture because I think it can't possibly be real and then I realize that even most of my boring-looking drawings of Wrinkly Kong are still pretty well not-plain.
my friend keeps sending the groupchat voice notes of her eating bussy and calling it "asmr"..... bro go study for your physics exam 😭
hi sorry uh. incredible miscommunication on my part lmfao.
my bad yall
28 year old tumblr users will look at you and say do you remember thwomp day of 2013 when everyone was posting thwomp from mario 64 in different audio
one of us always eat hot chip and the other one always lies
Hadestown has been slowly dragging me into its clutches and while I'm open to listening to it, I'm not sure the world is ready for that many drawings of Hades and Persephone, so instead I will spiral over Persephone's verse in Chant II ultimately being cut.
Oh no... An idea of my usual fare...

A DKC headcanon I love but don't use is that Cranky and Wrinkly met between the events of Arcade and Junior wherever it took place. I can't quite put into words what it is about it, but I just think it's neat.
Just found out what a click beetle was.
Since I'm on the topic, Undertale soul traits and which DKC characters fit them but it's based mostly on my own headcanons (others' own interpretations welcome)
Determination: K. Rool
Justice: Lanky, DK
Integrity: Funky, Junior, Candy
Kindness: Chunky, Swanky
Patience: Dixie, Wrinkly
Bravery: Diddy, Kiddy
Perseverance: Cranky, Tiny
