“Oh Sweet Prince…”

Artist and Writer (Pfp by @snazzyidiot1) Honestly I’m just here to chill and have fun

[kei-maki]

Propaganda

PLS PLS PLS PLSSSSS GO VOTE BUBBLEPOP FOR @rock-fight!!!!

I realized all of her lore is on artfight and I haven’t posted it here yet, so here’s some more information on the girl as a reason for why you should vote for her!!!

(This is all made with good fun, and whether she wins or loses, I’m just honored that I get to partake in such a silly little poll with one of my babies ^^)

One of, if not, the best performing student in all of Grace’s classes. She’s beyond fascinated with human culture and uses that as motivation to learn.

In fact, she’s always been curious as to what alien life would be like. Since she’s adopted, she’s poured a lot of time and energy into projecting her longing to know her biological parents and finding a sense of “home” in the hypotheticals of what’s out there. Would she feel like she belongs or relates more to extraterrestrial life than she does with her own species? Could they help fill the gaps of what was robbed from her? Despite all this, she still loves her adoptive family deeply.

Now that Erid has their very own alien savior and she has the privilege of being one of his students, she’s made sure not to waste the learning opportunities he presents. While she does excel in science, she’s particularly interested in the social aspect of human society. She’s spent manyyyy hours outside of class asking Grace about it. As a result, she can often be found hanging out with him in his house in the biodome.

She’s pretty shy upon first meeting her and tends to get lost in her own bubble. But when you get to know her and see her come out of her shell, she’s a complete social butterfly! And she loves sharing her curious ramblings with others. Unfortunately she can easily be overlooked by other eridians given the smoother surfaces of her body help amplify the already existing voices in the room. This is the result of a condition commonly known as Echo’s Disease, also makes her very hard of hearing. As a result, she sings quite softly in order to make sure her notes are correct. Has a tuning fork that helps her hear better, but also tends to tap frequently during conversation as a way to get a better feel for her surroundings, not only as a way to gesture.

Her hat was a gift from Grace after she learned what a lava lamp was, finding herself wanting to look even closer to one. She was delighted to receive human clothing in order to achieve that wish. And it was a very euphoric day to discover something that looked like her existed on the distant home to her favorite species!

Would really like Dance Dance Revolution if the eridian scientists somehow found a way to make one. She also loves stickers and it’s another motivator for her in class.

She plans to become an expert on Earth and maybe hopefully be an ambassador for Erid if they ever truly make contact with the other planet someday. She hopes to be one of the first Eridians to encounter another human when that happens :)

Now that you have a better idea of what she’s like, GO OUT AND VOTE!!!!

We all love the "becoming the very thing you sought to destroy," trope. but I have a growing fondness for "destroying the very thing you sought to become"

These eridians look oddly familiar....

I... I don't think the patient's weight got entered correctly. Just a hunch

[wimpud]

please, my dog, he is sick

Every single note and comment is comedy gold and I'm wheezing from laughing so hard

[awaggaa]

[devilleworship]

saw this on Insta and the idea that people who are anti-AI are just using it anyway like... willing to give it up? I ACTIVELY AVOID THAT SHIT BUD! WHAT ARE YOU EVEN TALKING ABOUT?

ALSO

It's not as if this shit has been around SOOO LONG. We all existed JUST FINE before this shit became THE THING someone decided to shove in our face like...

[bolasaurus]

Dude, I wouldn't even fucking notice until I go to Google something and the search actually works again.

[serenitynerd]

The only reason I would notice is my life would suddenly get easier

[sawed-on-shotgun]

I have been in multiple situations where a friend group I'm not so familiar with starts making jokes about being into weirdo pervert stuff and there is a slight edge of competition to who is The Most Freakish I know for a goddamn fact that I have everyone beat in the pervert department but I can't say anything because they're probably just talking about light BDSM at most and I like things that are complete social suicide in 90% of spaces

[sawed-on-shotgun]

like oh when you like puppyplay and choking its subversive and edgy but when I talk about getting my sexual awakening at 8 years old from the really fucking weird plant vore sequence in the third ice age movie it's WEIRD and EMBARRASSING i see how it is,

[sawed-on-shotgun]

oh so this post stops getting notes when I make that addition, i see how it is,

[thefloatingstone]

Shout out to that one Disney short they made in 1995 to play in front of A Goofy Movie by the French Disney team which directly parodied The Exorcist because early 90s Disney just did whatever the fuck they wanted

[localcryptid95]

hey. hey what

HEY. WHAT.

[thefloatingstone]

It's called "Runaway Brain" :3 Disney has a love/hate relationship with it because it's extremely beloved and held in high regard but also it does NOT fit their modern image so they can't promote or release it to any wide capacity because it would 100% terrify children.

[thefloatingstone]

Oh some of you didn't know about this, huh?

Anyway

[deepseadork]

I love how ridiculous transformers canon is sometimes, no matter the universe. The autobots fight human criminals in futuristic Detroit. There's a nuclear weapon named D.I.N.G.U.S. The evil cassette can fly. Cybertronians use tumblr at one point. And so, so much more.

[excusethequality]

While watching a DVD from the library my TV popped up a message saying to press a button if I wanted to watch this from additional providers.

It's never done that before so I looked it up and turns out Roku TVs have added all sorts of creepy things in the privacy section since I last checked.

One of which being they take screenshots from what you're watching and send them to third parties to identify it.

Fucking hell! Remember when every fucking device in your life wasn't a spy implanted in your home and working against your interests to try and sell your data? Remember how nice that was??

Remember when the TV was just a tool that would play the things you plugged into it?

Why must the future suck SO much?

How to Turn Off Smart TV Snooping Features - Consumer Reports

TVs collect a huge amount of data. Here's how to use privacy settings to limit the surveillance on TVs from LG, Samsung, TCL, and every othe

A good rundown on what each brand of TV is up to and which settings you should turn off.

[anarchistmemedistro]

[lytefoot]

PSA - Do not buy an LG smart TV. They just added a line to their terms of use that it's the user's responsibility to inform any guests in their house that by entering they consent to be recorded, in order to comply with wiretapping laws. That thing is literally recording you.

You can find tutorials online telling you how to open that thing up and physically remove the mic and wifi module. Frankly I don't trust anything less.

[mookimooks]

Please watch the Gamers Nexus video on LG Smart TV's and monitors! It's basically malware at this point.

[swiftlark]

hot take possibly? but i actually think it’s okay for things to be marketed for adults. it’s literally okay if things aren’t suitable for children. i feel like we are losing the plot

[zoestorm]

Correct. Furthermore: children bending or breaking the rules to get a peek at something that's not intended for them is a part of growing up.

Someone about to say the dumbest shit you've ever heard in your life:

[kineticpenguin]

congratulations your "obviously correct nuclear take" is the cybersecurity equivalent of being a fucking anti-vaxxer

[key-pair]

in case folk outside the UK aren't abreast of our news, the British press just hounded a black academic to death

[key-pair]

a rough timeline of events (from memory, there may be inaccuracies, feel free to correct me if I'm wrong)

Cambridge professor of sociology Jason Arday is accused of plagiarism by another academic

the accuser is a "race realist" who believes that in a true meritocracy all university professors would be white. this is somehow not acknowledged much during the entire ordeal

this leads to several days of media coverage demanding an investigation, or that Arday is expelled from his post immediately

somehow this accusation that has no effect on the lives of 99.99% of the population becomes FRONT PAGE NEWS in all the newspapers for multiple days, above anything else happening in the UK or the world at large

following intense media scrutiny, Arday resigns his post as a Cambridge professor

today, august 14th, days after resigning, Arday is found dead at his home in Battersea

the British tabloid press remains, and will always be, fucking evil

[cantdrawtosavemylife]

Went to google more news about professor Jason Arday, and I swear to God the first two pages of research are rancid propaganda sites smearing the man's reputation, up to and including popular Brazilian news magazine Veja.

This article by professor Kehinde Andrews clarifies more about the story of racist harassment Arday has been suffering since he fucking got a teaching job at Cambridge in the first place, in 2023, as the FIRST Black professor in that fucking stupid institution, who sure is taking it's sweet time defending their worker, despite already fucking checking his work for plagiarism and saying he didn't do it:

https://www.voice-online.co.uk/opinion/comment/2026/08/07/ardays-resignation/

A dark agenda lies behind Jason Arday's resignation - Voice Online

Arday's resignation has reignited questions about race and who is truly accepted at the highest levels of British academia

Several of the academics who harassed this man into suicide do not seem to have suffered at all in their academic careers. Actually, Dave Harris, who lost his Emeritus title for his racist behavior back in 2024 (something the news only call "criticizing Critical Race Theory", instead of "sent racist emails to fellow black academics"), was defended by Plymouth University, where he used to work, and fucking got the title back earlier this year.

[cannibalgender]

A couple things about the above.

1. He wasn’t the first Black Professor at Cambridge, but he WAS the youngest X

2. He was ALSO autistic, and nonverbal for the first 11 years of his life X

The rest of the story unfolds pretty much as described. And he was a fucking Sociologist studying racial equity in schools and academia. They publicly bullied a black autistic man to suicide for being imperfect whilst asserting a place for blackness in academia.

I do the opposite of gatekeeping, I’m not going to shut up until you like this thing as much as I do

here’s a wet pathetic man in a gifset to get you started and then I’m going to send you memes as propaganda
