Woe.

Cult of the Durge be upon ye

Posting the sprites by themselves too for a better non-quickly thrown together comp look at these dummies(affectionate).

Excluding the crucial fact that office jobs pay you an income….if staying home to raise children and do chores and bake bread was really so much easier and more joyful than working in an office on some objective level, why aren’t men doing it? Why aren’t they chomping at the bit to be ~leisurely house husbands~ to a working wife? Why aren’t they stepping up to depend solely on someone else’s income in exchange for round-the-clock domestic labor, if it’s really as blissful and their propaganda suggests? Curious.

Thank you! This is such an important reminder.

I hate when I say things like "oh I want an ipod classic but with bluetooth so I can use wireless headphones" and some peanut comes in and replies with "so a smartphone with spotify?" No. I want a 160GB+ rectangular monstrosity where I can download every version of every song I want to it and it does nothing except play music and I don't need a data connection and don't have to pay a subscription to not have ads and don't have popups suggesting terrible AI playlists all over the menus.

Gimme the clicky wheel and song titles like "My Chemical Romance- The Black Parade- Blood (Bonus Track)- secret track- album rip- high quality"

do not. respond to my doylist criticism with a watsonian explanation.

[appendingfic]

(to translate: Do not respond to my criticism about how the artist wrote/designed the work by explaining the in-universe explanation for it. The author chose the rules that made that explanation happen; they are not bound by these laws.)

Listen. I saw this Gatekeeper Galio voiceline the other day, and immediately knew I had to (finally) make this post telling Jhin enjoyers to give this arc from the 1996 run of 'The Dreaming' comics a try.

(Worth it whether or not you're familiar with 'The Sandman', imo, but all the same, don't tell me I'm the only fucker with both LoL and Sandman brainrot.

I mean, it might be possible, but don't tell me it. >.>)

Issues 52 - 54: Exiles

It's not at all hard to find online, but I still fear getting nuked from orbit if I just... link it...

(It's... uhhhh... honestly hard to say how much background on the Corinthian you need, but, ehh. Probably not muuuuch?

tldr; he's a nightmare made by the King of Dreams that escaped into the waking world and became a serial killer for about a century in the og Sandman. He got unmade, then remade (sort of/mostly/kind of) and at this part of the (not actually canonical to The Sandman universe anymore, btw) follow up comics, he's been kicked out of the dreaming while this delightfully fucked up trans chick named Echo fills the role of "The Corinthian" for a while.)

Listen. Trust me. The ending to this arc is *chefs kiss* heart stomping and chewy.

(ALSO! While I've got you here; I highly recommend giving Issues 20/21 'The Dark Rose' a try. Did somebody say painter/writer struggling with their identity and the nature of "light" and "dark" topics in life and art? (cw for some weird misogyny in that one from The Corinthian though, that doesn't come off as symbolic so much as unnecessary. Shows it's age a bit worse, imo.))

RE: SPOILERS Feel free to ignore what's below this if you don't care about 'The Sandman' spoilers or spoilers for earlier issues of 'The Dreaming'.

Some small potential spoilers for the Netflix show's season 2... assssuuuming it stays relatively close to the og comics canon and wraps things up in one more season, like they now apparently plan too. (Not the 1996 'The Dreaming' story this plotline was part of, which again, is no longer canon in the Sandman's greater universe iirc, but the og 'Sandman' comics run.)

Even then, it doesn't happen to wander into anything massive (unless you squint, extrapolate and jump to some conclusions pretty damn hard).

A MAJOR spoiler for this comic's plotline is casually dropped around page 16 of issue 52 though. So if you DO have prior knowledge of 'The Sandman' and want to specifically read THIS no longer canon 1996 run of comics set in it's universe without spoilers for said run... rip I guess? Probably preface this with at least the "An Unkindness of One" arc first? Or just try the whole thing! It... deeeefinitely shows it's age in spots, but there's also some really good meat on it's bones.)

I see this post all the time and I'm so confused. Most people throughout history were busier than your average resident of a developed country is now. My primary reaction to reading about the past since I was a child has been "I'm glad I don't live then, I'm too weak for that, I could not do that much work all the time."

[aphony-cree]

In the past things took longer to do but they often required a waiting period. You had to chop wood, put it in your stove, and light it, but it took a few hours for it to get hot enough for baking and then another hour for the bread to fully cook. History books will say things like "It took 4 hours to make a loaf of bread" but they don't mention that you only had to do actual work for a fraction of that time and the rest could be devoted to other tasks or relaxing for a while

Employee workload has doubled or tripled because of modern technology. It makes things faster but also creates less downtime which employers have filled with more responsibilities. You can do more work in a 10 minute period if all the files are on the computer but in the olden days you got to take a short walk to the filing cabinet and let your mind wander while you thumbed through folders, which means a modern 10 minutes of work is more mentally exhausting. The amount of work one employee has to do today used to be split between 2 or 3 people. We lost those moments of downtime we used to get by having to do things the slow way

writing historical fic set in real places is so scary. what if someone who knows more about Philadelphia's timeline to move from gas to electric streetlamps reads my fanfiction and laughs at me

Me rolling up in JhinHwei fandom like

(To be clear; JhinHwei is the absolute GOAT.)

Back in my day (2016) we made our "they met during a single whirlwind season and he didn't know who Jhin was. He started to fall for him. They had a ton in common and Jhin opened his eyes to some big difficult truths. And OOPS, Jhin's betrayal set him on an extremely different path in life" head canons on our own, uphill both ways in the constantly changing lore snow and we liked it!

Real footage of me the first time I read Hwei's bio:

Do you ever get reminded of that one really intense longfic that you had every intention of writing and had meticulous notes and complicated outlines for but then something happened and you aren't in the fandom anymore and you still have the desire to write the fic but it's slightly hollow now because it's a good idea and you think it would have been a great fic but you haven't been in the fandom for literally years and you don't have that bit of passion for it that you did when you were writing it and have just a weird moment of nostalgia where you want to reread it but it never existed

[sandersstudies]

I think instead of disabling reblogs tumblr needs a feature where we can adopt orphaned posts. Oh your OP doesn’t want notifs about you anymore? That’s okay baby come live on my blog.
