I am regularly assaulted by the memory of walking to the local convenience store with a dollar and getting a candy bar AND a soda.

clingy

[azuremoonbunny]

I just also wanna say that this is such an unkind thing to say to someone in your audience when you're constantly BEGGING for more eyes on your work.

"Teach me, eh?" Hans climbed over him, leveraging his weight to press Henry's body further into the ground and planting his lips against Henry's brow as he spoke. He traveled lower, a loving assault that ended just below his chin.

we gotta get back to torrent distribution, i just watched someone eat eight grand in bandwidth charges because they ran a direct-download piracy site with local file hosting through cloudflare. torrents were invented literally for this exact reason

[estro-boi]

torrents work like this

i have a file or folder on my pc that i want to share with other people. let's call it gayshit.mp3

unfortunately gayshit.mp3 is 750mb and im not paying for discord nitro so i need another way to send it

i put it into qbittorrent and it makes a torrent file. this is essentially a very small file that points to gayshit.mp3 so other computers can find it. kinda like a treasure map

i send this tiny file to my friend, who loads it into qbittorrent. their computer takes a moment to find mine over the vast expanse of cyberspace and then (as long as my pc is running and the file is still where it should be), it gets copied from my hard drive to theirs

this is the cool part: if somebody else loads that tiny file, they can download it from both of us. if i'm offline but my friend is on, the third person can still get it. this also means that if two people have separate halves of the file, they can download the other half from each other. as long as some combination of people have the pieces between them, they can all have the whole thing.

crucially this does not require a server!!! you can just upload the file to a few people and as long as they keep it, it's still accessible. as long as somebody, somewhere is still connected, it's available forever. the only way it goes away is if everybody disconnects from it.

please learn to torrent

"You only like this character because she's a woman!" okay and you hate her because she's a woman, knowing that she has all the traits you would enjoy in a male character.

Write whatever you want. Write that incredibly niche thing that only two other people on earth will get. Write the super indulgent cliche thing that makes you kick your feet giddily. Write the angry rage story that whumps them all and makes people cry.

Whatever it is that YOU want to write. Write it. Because only YOU can.

[leomonae]

One of the nicest things I ever had a reader say to me was that I inspired her to start writing for the first time ever, because something I said made it click that she didn't have to write for any reason other than that she wanted to. Didn't have to worry about if it was "good", didn't have to care whether people would like it, didn't have put it on ao3, didn't have to share it with anyone; her own enjoyment of the story was enough.

lately been getting really into going "ahh... it's okay. I support lgbtq 👍" whenever my friends bring up some insane gay bullshit like how they want to eat a guy with a knife and fork or whatever

[thebaldursmouthgazette]

I know the popular theory is that Sera is Andruil/possessed by Andruil but I just can’t see how Andruil would get there

But there’s definitely something up and I think the answer is that she’s a spirit who became real, like Cole, but so long ago she’s forgotten

Her memories about where she comes from are vague, she can wield a bow without training, and Solas refers to her as though they are part of the same people (which he pointedly does not do with any other elf), that people being spirits who took physical form

Also her name is a word in the elven language, like Solas’ name which is the word for pride. We don’t know what it means, just that it is in a phrase one would use to excuse oneself (Ara seranna ma). I bet it translates to a type of spirit or demon name

[thebaldursmouthgazette]

Girl what is up with you??

[thebaldursmouthgazette]

I couldn’t find the post I was looking for but it was about how sera gets called racist and bigoted and annoying for criticising the dalish (due to being a 20 year old dealing with internalised racism and struggling to find her identity in a world where she’s only acknowledged as an elf as a target of racism or when compared to the dalish as though she’s not being an elf properly) but when Solas criticises the dalish he’s called wise and knowledgeable and people think that yeah maybe the dalish are worth criticising (and he’s criticising them because he’s a genocidal maniac who doesn’t consider them people and is planning to kill them)

Think that’s a good example of the whole “you hate this character because she’s a woman, you would like the same traits in a male character” thing

I feel bad for people who’ve never experienced a corn maze bc it’s not even fun but you just have to do it

[tsunflowers]

I'd like to reblog this with some tags and comments bc I've really appreciated reading them

people who get what I mean:

people who have found a way to have fun in the corn maze but who I'm a little worried about:

person who we are going to put in the corn:

Also while looking through my posts I was really struck by how dragon age (the entire series) has such a strong theme of growth and change, both personal growth and maturing and growth of the world as a whole, the way society changes over time and that’s just what society does, things shouldn’t stay stagnant, people shouldn’t stay stagnant, for better or for worse change is a vital part of existence

And then a bunch of people looked at this and thought “yeah the guy who wants to destroy everything we have to try to pointlessly grasp at a world long dead that everyone has grown past and moved on from is right actually. We should be able to help him do that”

I was thinking of reblogging this again just because the original video is still amazing, but then I see the second video and lost my mind. The upgraded fan, the body glitter, the sheer fact that he got to do this with the actual singer.
