Please reblog this if it’s okay for me to just pop into your ask box to RP with you even if you haven’t reblogged a meme because I just want to RP with you
Reblog this to have people go into your inbox & ask your character questions!
"So when they usurp the throne with the help of a God they are "Heroes" and "Righteous", but when I do it I'm a "Cult Leader" and a "Threat to Society"?
Definitely something Vandal Savage has said at some point.
“I didn’t count on being happy.”
RIP Kevin Conroy.
Crews Quick Guide to Humans
Quiet humans are not defective. Loud humans are not defective. Unless there is a significant change, assume your human is operating at normal levels.
Human words do not mean the same thing all the time. Look up the study of human tone if you want to always know what your human means.
Human females will smell of blood each month. If this changes, ask your human in private if something happened.
Human males often do not know how loud they are. Asking them to lower their voice is not offensive.
Human cultures vary greatly and various cultures have conflicting beliefs. Most humans will not be offended if you cannot keep up with this.
Humans do not share a hive mind but do have several musical triggers that activate a human chorus. These triggers transcend most cultural and language barriers.
All Stabby units come with a human locator setting. Use liberally.
Ask for a detailed explanation before agreeing to join a human on any non work activity.
Be aware of human hobbies and skills. Humans enjoy company and will likely teach you whatever they know. It is also beneficial to know what your human may do should they get bored.
Do not be too concerned over what humans ingest, so long as they do so willingly and with the full knowledge of what they are ingesting.
Unless you hear a human say something along the lines of ‘I hope this works’ or ‘here goes nothing’, assume they have a working knowledge at the attempted task.
If you hear a human say one of the above phrases, take cover as it is likely too late to stop or report them.
Do not allow your human to greet hostile life forms alone. They may try to make pets out of them if they believe them to be ‘cute’.

Blackmail [Tim & Vandal]
@iiingenious Tim would find a box labeled for him when he got home. When he opened it he would find a note card. Inside it wrote: Call me after you have received my gifts.-V Inside was a thick four inch ridged black dildo along with clothing. Dress was black, garter set was a deep shade of red with thigh highs that were black, a pair of ballet flats.
I'm back-ish, with NaNoWriMo in a week, I will have November focused on that, mostly. But finally have the account again. Let's see if I'll get rps.
Also considered six months "sane" from the mental hospital. Well.. Sane enough to not be recommitted.
Anybody out there today–?
Finally got back on this account, in a mood for something particular?
I’m nervous about antis getting on the otw board. That could be very very bad
There are no antis anywhere near the OTW board. There is a candidate who has used some anti rhetoric, but I don't think she wants content removed - instead, I think she wants stricter labeling requirements and more public statements on those topics.
I think both of those are bad ideas, but I don't thinks someone is evil or malicious for disagreeing.
In order to run for the board, someone has to:
Be a current member serving as a volunteer on a standing committee of the OTW.
Have served as a volunteer for 9 of the 12 months prior to the month in which the election will occur.
Be a paying member of OTW by eight weeks prior to the election.
(And a few other things - legal adult, willing to have their legal name on record, etc.)
There are volunteers/staff members who think AO3 need a better warning system. There are volunteers who think we need better public outreach, who worry about the wave of accusations that go around at every donation drive. There are volunteers who think we need different policies on what counts as abuse - for example, that we should be less lenient about comment threads, or about what collections can be titled, and so on.
But the requirement of "has been an active volunteer for at least most of a year" means that anyone who thinks AO3 needs to restrict content is very, very unlikely to get that far. Because there's an interview & review process to get in, and there's an internal culture that is very much "We are here to provide SPACE FOR EVERYONE, even the assholes, yes, even THOSE assholes. No, I don't like them either. They're still allowed to be here."
Anyone who doesn't agree with that, doesn't last.
That said, I think Tiffany's statements mean
1) Her approaches to problems draw too heavily on anti terminology -whether or not she agrees with any of it, she's unconsciously feeding their agenda by using their terms.
2) She's not clear on what she wants to accomplish or change, rather than what she perceives as the problems.
3) She does not have online job experience - while none of us did when the OTW started, right now, that's a red flag. It means she doesn't know what the communication & logistics problems are, doesn't understand the process of getting things done in a setting like this.
4) She's concerned about public opinion about the OTW and AO3, rather than the opinions of the active and would-be users. I can understand that - if you hear a lot of yelling about "how can you be involved with those HORRIBLE PEOPLE WHO SUPPORT CRIMES," you might want to point out that no, we don't support crimes, so maybe we could make some statements about that. But I think it means she's too new to fandom drama to understand that that has always been the background of AO3, and that there is absolutely no way to convince "the public" that we are not supporting crimes, so we need to not waste energy trying.
5) Her ideas on fixing security are based on a recent hack/intrusion problem rather than an understanding of the total infrastructure and the requirements/limitations of the people using the features.
The Reddit thread believes a 10-year-old account and a claim "I am a newbie" is a red flag - I don't. I think that's "I've had an account forever but I have just recently gotten involved."
Reddit thinks it's a red flag that she's worried about being called a "pedophile" if she admits she writes fanfic - I don't. I worry that she runs in the kind of social groups that might do that, but I don't think it's a red flag to not want to risk being publicly reviled over a misunderstanding.
(I'm Pagan. I'm queer. There are people who think that means I'm evil. I get to be as public as I want - I won't lose my job over stupid inaccurate accusations. I don't know if she has that same assurance.)
CONCLUSION:
I don't think Tiffany is a good candidate for the Board. I think she doesn't have the right experience or the right approach. I think she's clueless in some areas, not malicious. I don't think she wants to destroy AO3; I think she doesn't realize how some of her ideas sound like it.
WORST CASE - if she somehow has a swarm of supporters we can't see (...which I doubt) (I would expect them to be speaking up on Twitter & Reddit), and she gets on the Board, she would be one vote among several. (Seven? Nine? I see 7 listed on the OTW website but I thought we're supposed to have 9? But I haven't kept up with the details.)
She's not running for Supreme Leader of the OTW. She's running to be one person on a committee.
---
I can entirely understand her approach of "hey, they are calling us pedophiles; that is HORRIBLE and we need to do something about that!"
I don't think she understands that "say nothing and don't change our policies" is, in fact, doing something about that. That it is the most effective action we could take. And because I don't think she understands that, I don't want her on the board.
But I don't think it's a disaster that she's running and I'm not worried about the future of the OTW.

people will say MCU Loki’s been trying to kill Thor his whole life and I’ll be like WHERE??????????
Wow. Guess Loki’s just really bad at murder then. Bc Thor seems very not murdered in the beginning of Thor 2011 even though he trusts Loki implicitly and would totally drink some poison if Loki told him to and would totally follow him off somewhere isolated where Loki could murder him.
Loki also could’ve left him to die on Jotunheim or killed him in the confusion and then been like “oh no. thor died while fighting the frost giants. how sad. guess im king now oh well.”
And then Thor is left on earth in mortal form. When Loki went down to visit him on Earth he could’ve squashed Thor like a bug. Guess he just didn’t want to get blood on that nice suit. And then of course during their fight Thor bends down to help the illusion version of Loki hanging off the Bifrost. The real Loki could’ve stabbed him in the back. But he didn’t. Did he get distracted? Did a Disney exec promise him a starring role in Avengers if he let Thor live? What’s the excuse for all of this? And that’s only the first movie he’s in.
If Loki has been trying to kill Thor all their lives, why is Thor all shocked Pikachu face when Loki sends the Destroyer after him in Thor (2011)? Shouldn’t this just be another Thursday for them?
“Loki the Chronic Backstabber” makes no sense whatsoever and is a glaring retcon. The whole plot of the first movie depends on the fact that Thor, Odin and Frigga trusted Loki completely and had no idea he was behind the attacks in Asgard. It doesn’t work otherwise.
You can argue it was badly done, and indeed, back in the day, that was one one of the most common criticism of the movie. I don’t necessarily agree -more on this in a moment- but in a way, it just supports what I’m saying: in order for Loki’s villainy to be “an obvious twist”, it has to be a twist.
In my opinion, while the movie did have its writing issues (for example, the original script has the characters acknowledge Loki has a point and then do the opposite), the main reason why Loki being evil was so obvious to many people is because Thor’s theatrical version cut a lot of Loki’s more sympathetic moments, probably out of fear it would make the good guys look bad. In hindsight, that was really a red flag I should have paid more attention to.
I don’t buy that the MCU didn’t realize that they had never exactly showed us why Thor was so desperate to get his brother back, especially since Loki’s popularity had spiked in 2012. But instead of trying to fix this in later movies, maybe through another flashback of their youth, they ignored the whole thing, and then straight up rewrote their backstory in Ragnarok. The funny thing is that in doing so they made everything worse: what was merely a badly written plot twist (mostly due to the editing), became a full plot hole that swallows the whole Thor franchise and The Avengers, because how can you reconcile Thor’s desperation on the Stark Tower with the fact that Loki has supposedly tried to murder him countless times? You can’t, because it makes no sense.
I’m not letting Whedon off the hook since he’s the one who started the trend of rewriting Loki’s character to suit his own purposes, but at least he did try to write a sort of plausible in-universe excuse for it.
The TV show tried to solve this mess but there wasn’t much it could do, since the writers are still required to acknowledge all the movies as canon, not to mention upholding the good guys’ image for marketing reasons. So now Loki exists in this weird limbo where he’s supposed to be a lifelong bully and a chronic betrayer but somehow his family forgot about that for three movies, or something.
