I like to talk about nerdy things.

30s. Video game nerd. Queer. She or they is fine.

THM Mini Bang Reveal: You Came Over Me Like Some Holy Rite by championsofthejust & Meliko

You Came Over Me Like Some Holy Rite

Written by @armoredinmoonlight Tumblr | Bluesky

Art by Meliko AO3 | Instagram

Inquisitor Helaina Trevelyan's friendship with Cassandra Pentaghast has never quite recovered since she confessed her feelings for the Seeker. Thrown together closer than ever by their investigation into the plot against Celene, Cassandra and the Inquisitor are prepared to spend the whole evening taking shots at each other, but Cassandra is even testier than usual—especially when Helaina announces her attention to try to bring Empress Celene and Ambassador Briala back together. As buried feelings return to the surface, Cassandra and Helaina must reconcile their duties with their hearts.

if you illegally download all of your music and then buy like 2 albums from smaller or independent bands you’ve likely already done more to pay musicians than a year of spotify streaming. just pirate everything and send some walking around money to a couple artists you like. they’re probably on bandcamp, wait till a bandcamp friday. spotify hates you anyways.

[ralfmaximus]

Next Bandcamp Friday is May 1st, 2026!

Even buying from Bandcamp in-between Bandcamp Fridays yields more profits to the artist than Spotify. Bandcamp charges artists 10% to 15% to host their music, compared to $0.003 and $0.005 per stream on Spotify.

That's right, you'd have to play the same song 200 times minimum to earn the artist $1, and 30% of that $1 earned goes to Spotify. Worse, Spotify pays the rights holder these royalties, not the artist. So if your band has a contract with a label, the LABEL gets paid, then the artist gets a percentage of that.

This article is from 2020 but illustrates the issue with an example. The spotlighted artist earned $4200 from Bandcamp via 700 customers in two days. The same artist earned $100 from roughly six years of streaming.

Also, while you can stream from Bandcamp, you can keep your music! Download the mp3 and it's yours forever.

Also also, there's no ads!

Also also also, there's no AI!

WHY are you giving money to Spotify??

Hey @revengeofboudica, thanks for deleting my comment! Now how about you pick up a f*cking pencil

Call it gatekeeping, call it whatever you want. I call it standing up for and protecting artists, and your ai slop has no place in this Fandom. GROW A BRAIN AND PUT IN THE WORK LIKE EVERYONE ELSE HAS

F*CK AI

PICK UP A PENCIL

While I understand the desire to make Big Art entirely and viscerally I think it's worth considering that small art often leaves an outsized impact on its audience. Short stories, teensy indie games, short films, sketches on scrap paper, carved or sculpted figures that would fit in the palm of your hand, etc. etc. are all things that, when they hit your psyche at just the right angle, can stay lodged in there forever specifically because they are small. It is not necessary for a thing to be sprawling for it to have impact.

Across tumblr no one owns a truck for clout and that’s quite a good thing.

[phantomrose96]

To start 30% of tumblr users don’t own their own car, which already eliminates quite a lot of potential truck havingness you see.

Then among the car havers, the most common kind is a 20 year old sedan that was purchased for $2,400 and will be driven until the rims weather into sediment and become a new kind of sedan sedimentary rock called a sedanimentary rock. The second most common kind of car is a Subaru purchased by two lesbians who are no longer in a relationship but remain good enough friends still to be effective car co-parents.

Now this does leave an amount of truck havers. About 0.5-1% according to science. But importantly when you ask them about the truck the answer is “yeah my job is to pull stuck bulls out of the mud on the farm” and then they pull away and you get to see all the muddy bulls in the back of their truck, which is a real treat.

At all times I am filled with a berserker like rage but thankfully for everyone around me I am much too tired to do anything with it

drink your coffee. read your books. it's chaos out there.

[xekstrin]

Tilda is a sick freak and probably has a 100% picture perfect replica of Aloy for her VR headset. Its sole purpose is to spend hundreds of simulated hours torturing her to see what it would take to psychologically break Aloy like a wild horse. Once I’ve successfully kidnapped her the wedding is BACK ON!!!!!!!!

[xekstrin]

Crucially, none of the simulations ever work. Even in scenarios where she forcibly gives Aloy the Immortality buff that Tilda has. So literally she’s got Aloy for centuries and she never, ever breaks. The simulations break before VR Aloy does.

Which could mean anything.

Tilda hits restart.
