Good to see the autistics are enjoying this one

[sepulchritude]

I love seeing people’s picrew art styles because you can just look at them and be like

“You read homestuck and it was a big part of your life for a few years, you’re not into steven universe but you did watch it, and you had an intense black butler phase in middle school and doodled their eyes over and over again in your spiral notebooks”

[sepulchritude]

Art is the biggest snitch ever man like have you ever read a fanfic and been like “Oh the author is working through some trauma here”

Or when people rec songs/shows/fics and you suddenly know everything you need to know about who they are as a person?

Like I know art is inherently an attempt to make others understand what is going on inside our lonely little heads but sometimes the mortifying ordeal of being known just slips in there while you’re not looking

[bbluejoseph]

new ask game: tell me what u think u know about me based on my fics/art/etc

[philona]

ha, wonder what all left an imprint?

[midoriyasbones]

Reblog if you 100% okay with a transgender person correcting you if you accidentally misgender them or use their dead name.

[your-friendly-deactivated-deact]

please do

[sparklecryptid]

*shyly peers around a corner*

You may have… inspired me… to do an Art Thing.

It’s more gloopy than blobby and a little scribbly besides, but I hope you like it. Ceratinly put my Gasenfude through its’ paces, haha.

*gently slides drawing across the table then scurries back around my corner*

!!!!

*GENTLY HOLDS YOUR FACE IN HANDS*

I LOVE IT!

OH MY WORD this is amazing!! it’s fantastic! I love the contrast between the colors and the black and white moose and i love all the details you put into it! its amazing!

Also the horns are fantastic! Really fantastic! I love them! Than you so much for this!

[philona]

Oh, you’re welcome! I’m glad you enjoy it. The string tangled around the horns is yarn for crafting projects. (*^-^*)

[officialprydonchapter-deactivat]

Can you do something for me, please?

I want you to reblog this if you believe that two people can be very close and physically affectionate with one another, but still have a completely nonsexual, non-romantic relationship. 

Even if the two people in question are capable of being sexually or romantically attracted to one another. 

Because the friendship I share with someone I consider family in a way that transcends blood has been typecast as a romantic relationship ENTIRELY too many times, and I’m beginning to get sick of it. 

[not-so-mundane-after-all]

I’ve never reblogged anything faster.

[dysperdis]

so this has been bouncing around my head for a while and I’m still not sure if this is the best way to phrase it, but…

making opportunities for everyone to explore their gender and orientation means nothing if it’s not safe for people to be wrong about their gender and orientation. otherwise, “exploring your identity” becomes limited to “confirming what you were already pretty sure of,” which isn’t going to do anything for anyone who isn’t already at that stage.

[dysperdis]

like, time and again i’ve seen people questioning whether they’re allowed to use certain pronouns or labels if they’re still questioning those identities or if they need to wait until they’re more sure of the label. or people being worried that changes in how they identify and the language they use to describe themselves will validate stereotypes.

and this is the result of a culture where choosing an identity label that ends up being wrong is far worse than never exploring your identity in the first place. it’s the same reason people freak out about trans kids, because what if they decide they aren’t trans after all in the future? it’s also why i’ve run into multiple callouts on this site that include things like “10 years ago they called themself a ‘lesbian with an exception’ for a couple of months,” because trying to reconcile old identities with new experiences is seen as a threat.

and in the end, the people this attitude ends up punishing are folks who are targeted by cissexism and/or heterosexism, but are lacking some of the language or the experiences or even the community that would allow them to express how those systems impact them.

[queerlittlecreature-deactivated]

Take all the time you need to figure it out. Try different clothes, pronouns, names. Our society doesnt make this easy. Theres nothing wrong with being wrong while you figure it out

[jedthewolfdog]

and just because you settle on something different later doesnt mean you were ‘wrong’ before 

[you-are-a-saucy-boy]

i thought i was a trans guy for a while, then i thought i was a girl, and now i’m comfortable in my gender identity and my gender identity it literally just “idk man, i sure do exist”.

it was valid of me to stop identifying as male and start identifying as a girl again, it was valid of me to start questioning again despite already “being wrong” once, it’s valid of me to identify as whatever abstract shit i am now without needing or wanting a solid label for it. and if that changes, that’s valid too.

it’s not a straight line from “questioning” to “i fully know my identity”

[tlirsgender]

Biggest failing of the internet is that in order to be vibing with my friends I have to actually be talking to them. I socialize like a cat I just show affection by sitting next to you. Ily but sometimes I have Nothing to say. Not a damn thing going on in my head

[tlirsgender]

I don’t want to “have” a “conversation” I want to peel an orange and share it with you

[bakwaaas]

unpopular opinion: mental illness can make people behave in extremely toxic and sometimes even abusive or manipulative ways. relationships and friendships with mentally ill people can be extremely difficult, unpleasant, or even harmful. though this may not be intentional and i have sympathy for those who struggle with this, other people are allowed to remove themselves from your life for their own happiness and sanity. they are not bad people for this. the idea that someone *has* to stay with you while you heal or help fix you is wrong, people are allowed to prioritise themselves. it’s on you to seek therapy and heal. being mentally ill doesn’t give you a pass to behave in toxic ways and hurt others.

It's 1 am, who wants to learn how to make maple candy?

[thebibliosphere]

Things you will need: maple syrup, a large-ish heavy set pot, a candy thermometer, silicone spatula, and a candy mold of some sort.

I'm making a reasonably large batch, so I am using approximately 28-30 fluid ounces. Which is roughly two and three quarter cups if you do not own a set of measuring scales.

The thermometer I am using in this instance is a wired one with a probe on the end, but you can also use one of these bad boys:

Just make sure it's intended to be used for the high temperatures of candy, as not all food thermometers are made equal.

Step one pour your desired amount of maple candy into a heavy set pot. I am using a 4 quart pot for this, as this amount of syrup can bubble over easily.

Next set your pot on a medium heat. Not high. Medium. We’re in this for the slow burn.

Make sure to monitor the heat of your candy at all times. We are aiming for a boiling 235’f (or 112 in Celsius) anything below that it won't harden, anything above that you'll either turn it into hard candy and burn the shit out of it and your pot and may need to explain to your local fire department why you're making candy at 1am. Don't ask me now, I know this.

It goes without saying, but please be careful handing this mixture. Hot sugar can be extremely dangerous and the burns quite severe so please take your time and don't panic. It the pot burns the pot burns. It's better than burning you.

Stir often to help increase the granulation process. It may not look like much is happening at first but you will soon start to see some activity on the surface.

The heat will soon start to pick up rather quickly at this point and it should start to look something like this:

And now I'm at the pic limit so see you on the reblog.

[thebibliosphere]

At this point your candy will be at about 225ish. And it's going to feel like it stays that way FOREVER as it struggles to get up that final ten degrees but do not be tempted to increase the heat or walk away. That's when it gets you and you're saying hi to Ron from the fire department. Again.

Keep stirring and don't be alarmed if it starts to rise up the side of the pot, it's meant to.

You can if necessary turn the heat down to keep it from overflowing, but I find keeping up a steady stirring pace helps to keep it in the pot.

Once it hits 235’f let it sit there for a hot minute, all the while keeping an eye on the thermometer.

If it starts hitting 236’f remove it from the heat and allow it to cool until it reaches 175’f or 79’c.

This will take approximately 10-15 minutes, or in my case the time it took eat a gluten-free cornbread waffle cause it's now 1:20 am, and I'm hungry.

Bone Ape Petite. 💀 🧇 😘👌

Once it's cooled to approximately 175’f, it's time to start stirring like a court bard with gossip to spread. I'm short so I had to move to the kitchen table to do this so my arms wouldn't fall off.

Before you do that though, take your thermometer out. And there's a little trick, you'll know you had the mixture hot enough if it's already starting to form a skin like this:

And also if it clings a little to the thermometer:

Mmmmm viscous.

Now start stirring. It's going to take approximately five minutes of constant stirring. Yes I'm serious. This is a workout. Be sure to scrape down the sides of the pot. We wouldn't want to lose any of the precious syrup. It will start to lighten in color as you go. So here are the stages it may look like:

And I'm at the image limit again so brb.

[thebibliosphere]

Once your mixing utensil is coated in the mixture like so:

It's time to pour that delicious mixture into your candy mold. Do not attempt to film this step one-handed or your significant other may wake up from a dead sleep demanding to know with inhuman instincts for dangerous shenanigans ”what bullshit you're up to”

If you left it a little too long cause you're trying to take pictures on your own, don't worry, the mixture should still be malleable enough to smoosh out with your spatula. If you have accidentally solidified it into a substance harder than diamond and can't get it out the pot, you can return it briefly to a low heat until it remembers the primordial state of ooze from whence we all came. Leave it to cool, throw some warm water in your pot to dissolve the sugar you couldn't scrape out even with a chisel.

When you can press lightly against it without leaving a dent, your mixture is cool enough to pop them out of your mold and into a preferably airtight storage container.

Lament that you took this picture the wrong way round, but concede it is now 2:22 am, and you don't care enough to fix it.

And there you have it, maple candy! They should last approximately four weeks in an airtight container. But, if you are anything like me, you are already halfway through them and careering not-so-gently towards a sugar-induced ADHD blackout because nothing else is helping you focus, you're a week behind on a deadline, and you can't have caffeine any more, so sugar is your only hope.

Remember, kids, eat sugar responsibly and do as I say, not as I do.

See you on the other side.

[philona]

@thebibliosphere​ This looks and sounds absolutely delicious,

but if I may, for anyone who might see it:

Be careful using a rubber spatula when stirring hot sugar. It might not be able to handle the heat, and you might, oh, lift it out of the pot and find the top third melted away. (Gremlin Brain might tell you to eat anyway, but Adult Brain says Do Not.)

When possible, a wooden spoon is preferable for working with hot sugar, because not much can happen. Might not scrape as much from the sides but also won’t need to potentially throw it all out.

(This is my Professional Advice (tm).)

Thank you for this interseting recipe~

[thebibliosphere]

Good point! Also worth noting I’m not using rubber, it’s silicone that’s heat resistant up to 500’f. (Or so the label claims!) Most silicone spatulas should be fine which is why I stipulated the use of one at the start, but rubber, nylon or plastic might suffer and should be avoided when working with extreme heat temps.

[philona]

Thank you for clarifying!

Those can look pretty similar (to me anyway), so that’s probably how I mixed that up, back then.

Have a nice day (and delicious candy)~

I have ADHD so I’m immune to podcast

[the-pink-bunny]

stealing this from @chefpyro ’s tags cause same

[tricktster]

always thought that it was crazy other folks with adhd couldn’t focus on podcasts when i was totally immune from that issue then quarantine happened, i stopped driving long distances every day, and you will never fucking believe what I learned I can’t do

[spidey-sensz]

Are you telling me people just sit in a chair and listen to a podcast and don’t do anything else they just sit there and listen what the fuck

[darkpuppymemes]

listen im just saying… better more valid plotline is naruto discovering the same horrible shit about konoha as sasuke and then of course going through his process about it but then also going missing nin as well.

and when he does that he obviously still has sasukes old headband… putting that headband on… leaving konoha to find sasuke….. the symbolism. the romance. the utter fuck you to militarized governments. muah

“… for some time it has been known that women and girls with ADHD are more likely to internalize their symptoms, saying things like: “I’m stupid” or “I can’t do anything right.” They are easily embarrassed and humiliated by the consequences of their ADHD symptoms and behaviors. … Even when a girl is hyperactive, her behaviors may often look very different than they do in a boy. A girl with ADHD may be hypertalkative or hyperreactive (crying a lot or slamming doors) – behaviors one may not typically think of being associated with ADHD. … a girl may also demonstrate a whole host of other behaviors. She may react to distress experienced in the classroom (low self-esteem and poor academic performance) by developing avoidance behaviors exhibited by headaches or stomachaches or a true school phobia where she is unable (or refuses) to attend school. She may become shy and withdrawn within the classroom… poor organizational skills may occur in the form of messiness, disheveled appearance, and/or grooming problems. Her poor social skills exhibited by bossiness, shyness, interrupting or excessive talkativeness may result in outright peer rejection or difficulty making and keeping friends.”

WHY AM I THE DEITY OF BREAST............

I am the deity of worth, which I’m pretty sure just implies that I am a dragon.

Which is accurate.

God of possiblity.... My anxiety has trained me for this

[aniseandspearmint]

Goddess of Crystals, which, yeah okay i can work with that. I have THE aesthetic this time around! 

[secret-engima]

I got Ordinary. I am surprisingly pleased with this, because this means anyone who is my enemy suddenly finds themselves cursed with all the bad luck as I remove all things Ordinary from their existence.

[philona]

Deity of Boom. *low whistle* Nice.

Cloud's first thought on waking in the Shinra training grounds..."Where's the hidden camera?". What is one supposed to do when they find themselves inexplicably in the past? Become a terrorist four years early, of course. And look up a few old friends.

This is totally random but I’m rereading this for the umpteenth time so I shall rec it. Even though it’s unfinished. And hasn’t been updated since 2015. But like- it’s a cool take on the time-travel Cloud thing and it’s got Zack being adorable and words cannot describe my love for this fic okay? It’s much more lighthearted then some other ff7 time-travels but it’s not crackish (at least not to me) and I have a blast rereading it every time I get into a ff7 mood.

So yea, if you haven’t read this one I DO highly recommend giving it a shot, unfinished tho it may be.

Also, if the fic author of this thing happens to, by some random miracle, see this post, then YOUR FIC IS AWESOME. THANK YOU FOR POSTING AS MUCH OF IT AS YOU HAVE. It brings me joy.

I can’t second this enough, but also, did you know the author moved this to ao3 in 2018 and added  a chapterlast year?
