i use both she/her and he/him pronouns, but honestly use whatever’s funniest. like call me bro if you want. my gender is The Bit. (but i only use gendered terms/honorifics)
i am a multifandom blog! but my main fandoms for now are hermitcraft + adjacent SMPs/evbo productions. i am an mcyt boy yes. i'm also hard fixated on team fortress 2 right now. i also post a lot about being aroace/aspec
and on the side there’s legend of zelda, ace attorney, undertale/deltarune and d&d/baldur's gate 3. also i never shut up about the loathing games so if youve played any of them.... put your fingers in my enclosure i wont bite i prommy

i also use #ship filter tag in case you don't want to see any ship posts/art i make!
BOUNDARIES—
as for shipping: being romance-adverse and all, i usually don’t particularly enjoy ships myself (at least most “typical” interpretations), regardless of fandom. that being said there are still some i enjoy and will post about, but i tend to really aspec-ify and remove the romance from most ships i like. still especially for mcyt media, please do not take ship mentions to my page if i don’t mention/tag it myself 👍
there are certain ships i am really not comfortable with, so please don't take it personally if i block you for that reason
i have a separate sideblog for more risque ship and gorey content. i won't advertise it here, but if you find it, you can take discussions there.
as mentioned before, do not bring discourse topics onto my page! any asks or comments about discourse will be not be dignified with a response and promptly deleted!
if the discourse pertains to something i posted, then please do inform me! however, if you phrase it like a callout or discourse, i will be treating it as such and deleting it!
if you want to learn more about me, here’s my carrd! it includes other socials as well as a (kind of loose) byi.
i don’t have a dni because i think it is fundamentally a ridiculous concept to ban people from interacting with me, but i do block very liberally. please don't take it personally

i'm kind of on a hiatus on instagram but if you still want to check it out -- @ kiwinatorwaffles for my main and @ kiwisnotgay for my doodles/alt. you can check out my original characters in more depth on my toyhouse, which is also @ kiwinatorwaffles!
THANKS FOR READING! FEEL FREE TO CHAT OR SEND ME QUESTIONS!
similarly to how you should never trust gamers with a nonbinary character i feel like you can also never trust a fandom with an aroace character. whether it's explicitly canon or implied it just ends up the same
everyone tells me that ADHD isn't an excuse for being lazy and that there are people with ADHD who have overcome their symptoms and are successful but every day I drag around an invisible dopplegänger of myself who is horrible and listless and always complains. and he is so heavy. I'm ambitious and I'm passionate but he isn't and the problem is that to get anywhere in life I have to grab him by the leg and pull him along the whole way, kicking and screaming, and sometimes it gets exhausting. sometimes he pulls me down with him. and it gets a bit difficult to explain to people why I'm lying down on the floor in pain when they can't see him.
Heavy - only photos from a low angle with no smile, family photos, food pics
Engie - tutorial tech videos, accomplishment photos, actually very clean and professional social media presence
Medic - gets his account taken down every other week for community guidelines against gore
Sniper - wilderness photos, never selfies unless they're with fish he caught or group photos (likes fishing/hunting memes and that's it)
Spy - doesn't have a 'main account' but owns hundreds of ghost accounts to stalk people. Does have one with no photos or content he uses to look at the team's posts
Hey everyone. There's a new youtube feature that rolled out just yesterday that's raising some privacy concerns.
People in the U.S., U.K., Brazil, and Singapore can now share videos and chat with friends directly within the YouTube app. The update bring
This post talks about a new DM feature in youtube. What it fails to mention is that as part of this new feature is that when you send someone a link to a video, and they open it in the youtube app, they will see who sent them the link. Specifically, your channel name.
If your google account name is your real name, so is your channel name by default.
This means the new default behavior is that everyone you send a youtube link to will see your full name if they open it in the mobile app.
To turn this off:
Go to your youtube app settings
Go to Privacy
Turn off "Channel visibility for shared links"
Trimming the source id (the stuff after the '?' in links) will also prevent this from happening.
i absolutely LOVE grace's character arc in phm of learning how to be really truly selfless BUT the thing i don't get is people acting like that end state of selflessness is somehow this natural effortless default for him and not the cumulative result of very hard work and deliberate choices. grace's default state and the way he acts for most of that movie's runtime is this bizarre mix of entitlement and insecurity. he's like the classic undersocialized white male academic who both prides himself on self-sufficiency yet laments his isolation. he thinks he should be able to get whatever he wants. his personal comfort is worth more than everyone else's.
he's obviously the Fun Teacher but he still is slightly patronizing to those kids. they aren't stupid, they're paying attention to the news, they know what's going on with the sun and what the implications are. but he's talking down to them like they haven't figured out what the true stakes are when they clearly already have. it's sweet and noble to want to keep them calm, and sometimes keeping kids calm requires lying by omission, but the kids still had to trap him in the rules of his own hackey-sack game to get him to actually answer their damn questions instead of waving them off like he wanted to.
on some level he resents where he's at in his career and is ashamed of it, but at the same time, he insists he didn't do anything wrong to get there. he is shocked when somebody else is able to find out what he did and call him on acting like an innocent victim of censorship when he was actually excommunicated for his temper tantrums.
he enjoys all the freedom and authority of being the hotshot microbiologist on the project and fully believes he has worthwhile skills to contribute, but he wants none of the responsibility when it's time to put his money where his microscope is. he insists he knows what he's doing yet acts surprised and inconvenienced when people order him to do it. he is also upset that being privy to top secret intergovernmental information requires a limited range of movement and minimal exposure to the outside world.
he woke up on somebody else's spaceship with no memory of what it was out there for, what its budget was, or who was responsible for its deployment (any sane person would assume the answers to those questions are "something very important", "billions of dollars", and "government(s) that will likely not appreciate sabotage") and was immediately like "well let's scrub everything this ship was intended for so i can go home and be comfortable asap."
he was genuinely pissed off at the only other sapient lifeform around for lightyears, who had previously admitted to living in total isolation for decades and is clearly deeply traumatized by the all death and loneliness, for moving onto his ship so they can save their home planets more efficiently and socially.
the only belongings he will have access to for the forseeable future, his use of which the existences of entire stars are depending upon, are whatever's already on that ship, and he punched one of the damn laptops and broke it.
and again, like, HE GOT BETTER, he absolutely Learned His Lesson, but being a brave and protective guardian angel is still not his default state and it's something he had to first be completely broken down and humbled for. this guy went through a dickensian odyssey to learn the importance of generosity and charity.
like seriously we have got to stop always making the blonde one a sweetiepie, everyone's always hitting the blue eyed blondes with the princess peach beam and it drives me a little nuts. ryland grace would put a hole in drywall during an argument
