addition: people who comment on fics to say that they are not even in this fandom and didn’t know the characters at all but read it anyway and loved it are also the greatest people on earth and should also be given a thousand dollars.

upset and don’t know why? Appease the Brains

lizard brain

questions: do i have food, water, and safe shelter? 

solutions: drink more water. drink things with electrolytes. make and stick to a food schedule that works for you. clean your room. if you are in an unsafe situation, talk to someone trusted about creating a plan to get out 

toddler brain 

questions: have i had enough rest? am i been getting what i need to be healthy? am i cared for? am i frustrated? 

solutions: make sure you’re getting enough sleep on a schedule that works for you (people naturally sleep better at different times and need different amounts of sleep. if youre young you will need to sleep more than 7 or 8 hours). make sure you have varied nutrition in your diet. make sure your medications and supplements are working for you and take them on schedule. work on developing a support system that meets your needs. take breaks from things if you feel burned out, even if it’s only for a day 

monkey brain 

questions: have i had enrichment in my life? am i stuck in a rut? have i had socialization, entertainment, and creativity? has anything challenged me lately? 

solutions: limit your time on social media. make an effort to be in new environments - even if its another room in your house or backyard. examine what is or isn’t working in your routine. pick up a new hobby (if you’re more physically active, consider a hobby like writing or coding. if you’re more mentally active, consider a hobby like woodworking, bookbinding, or a sport). write stories, make art, and write analyses (if you haven’t tried original work - focus on that for a little while). try new music. try a new food. build something with legos. consume a new type of media even if you’re not sure you’ll like it (like graphic novels, radio plays, or watching ballet). take on a long term project and set aside time to work on it on a schedule (whether its every day, every few days, or specific days each week) 

human brain 

questions: do i feel loved? do i feel understood? am i existentially fulfilled? do i have a sense of purpose? do i have a sense of meaning? am i contributing to the lives of the people i care about and are they doing the same for me in return? 

solutions: reach out to friends and loved ones, and do activities together, like play a game online or walk in the park. talk to safe people about things that upset you, such as a trusted friend or a therapist, and find steps to improve your mental health. interrogate whether your religious beliefs are working for you, and if they are, make an effort to practice your faith, whether that is attending services (including digitally if they have them), reading and discussing your religious texts, or following holidays. read self help books or blogs from trusted professionals. read about philosophy and interrogate your own understanding of things. learn how to communicate your needs, thoughts, and desires to people who will listen. be active in your community (whether in community service, activism, or getting involved in local politics). adopt a rescue animal. give money to causes you care about. make an effort to learn about points of view and lived experiences that are different than your own. challenge assumptions about how you are expected to live your life and decide whether you want those things or not. express love for the people you care about - through kind words, good acts, crafts, or otherwise. if there are steps in your life you have been afraid of taking, make a plan to take them 

if you fulfill higher needs before lower needs, you will still feel bad. if you feel bad and don’t know why, start lower and work your way up. basic needs must be met before moving on healthily

O-okay, let’s get into this, shall we?

*grumbling* Would you rather work for Lex Luthor or the Joker- *shouting* Lex Luthor, by like, a fucking mile!

Yes, yes, working for Lex Luthor is basically like being an Amazon employee that makes weapons of mass destruction, which is bad. Lex is like Donald Trump mixed with Mark Zuckerberg mixed with Jeffrey fucking Bezos, it’s not a great mix. He does not treat his henchmen well. Their lives still suck, and they are probably monitored on how long they take piss breaks for.

But let’s analyze what working for Lex Luthor is like versus the fucking Joker. With Lex you probably get a dental plan, a health plan, a paycheck, and the guy that you’re fighting really cares about human life. Superman will hit you just long enough to knock you out, so you’re not a treat, so he can stop the problem.

If you work for the Joker, your payment is you’re not fucking dead. You say one wrong thing? Bang. You don’t laugh at his jokes? Bang! You do laugh at his jokes? Bang! You think Joker gives a fuck about a henchman?

Who’s Lex Luthor’s right-hand-man? It’s a woman, you sexist, her name is Mercy, she’s awesome. Who’s Joker’s right-hand-man? Bob? Nah, he’s dead. Harley? Tried to kill her multiple times. Slappy? Who the fuck is Slappy?

The best case scenario of working for the Joker is that you fight the fucking Batman! And that presents its own fucking list of problems. If you stop Superman as a Lex Luthor henchman, Lex’ll be pissed, but he’ll be at least happy that Superman was caught. If you stop Batman as a Joker henchman, you better have a fucking coffin picked out yesterday.

This isn’t a fun hypothetical question, this is a screening technique that the doctors at Arkham use to determine your mental health! There is a right and a wrong answer to this question, and the correct one is Lex fucking Luthor. Thank you for coming to my fucking Ted Talk, have a nice day.

uninstall adobe acrobat. it is malware. it has been malware. these aren't opinions: acrobat meets the definition of malware.

it installs a user-login-time "startup" executable that ignores any windows directives to disable it on startup. doing so only removes the even-more-malicious taskbar-icon-creating advertisement-notification-creating process. no matter what you do, the sleeper "updater" process starts when you log in, and runs perpetually

it sends & receives encrypted network traffic both periodically and non-periodically. both are bad, both are suspicious, and a program doing both is more suspicious than the sum of their parts. and to boot: acrobat will polymorphically edit its code after such network activity

this isn't new: it has always done this. now, it does not even do the thing it is meant to: provide a way to interact with documents, which is amongst the very first features computers were built to provide. you can merely open PDFs and read some of their content in the narrow space between the requests for adobe to give them your money, and interface for features you cannot use (because you don't) or do not, have not, and will not ever need

adobe and microsoft would very much like the user's cultural norms around computers to allow for advertisement built into the local software and even operating system itself. the web being 100% advertisements was not enough! sure enough, acrobat will hijack the windows notifications system thing to give you the 2026 equivalent of pop-ups

i don't really know enough about windows software equivalents, so i'll paypal $20 to the first person that reblogs this with a list of 3-5 PDF reader/editor/etc acrobat equivalents that meet the following criteria:

open source, locally-built executables must match checksum of prebuilt distributed executable

no paid features/premium version/subscription/whatever

not a toy hobby project thing, must be windows-users-proof

cheers

Firefox's built-in PDF.js viewer: does everything you could want from a basic viewer, fast enough search, and can now do annotations for filling in forms and such

KDE Okular: is a decent viewer and can also do basic annotations, and is so not-a-toy that you can even download it on the Windows app store.

LibreOffice Draw: I don't ever really like having to open this but if you have to edit a PDF in detail it does work, and doesn't just vomit up a bunch of polygons when you give it text to work with. Better as an authoring tool than an editor.

the scene where Rocky runs off to get a clock, and Grace kinda just stands there waiting and apologizing for talking so much while Rocky bops back into the screen, just chirping away--and we know those aren't idle sounds. it's language. it's Rocky talking, just as much as Grace is talking. Rocky has been so, so alone for so, so long and meets this creature who makes so much noise all the time, and even though they're sort of talking over each other it must be such a comfort to just have something to talk at, to have something talk at him. imagine if Rocky had known that Grace was apologizing for being the sole beacon of sound and life Rocky has come into contact with in five decades.

Hey everyone, looks like the “cat summoned for jury duty” was ai generated - even has the ai symbol at the top. Thanks for the heads up, @cannot-all-throw-inkpots . My apologies- I did not realize when I shared it.

[theriu]

Aww dangit. Guess that makes sense, but it was so believable because I can 100% see that kind of goofup happening

[theriu]

Some positive news: There really WAS a cat summoned for jury duty back in 2010. Turns out the error was quickly corrected and the cat did NOT actually have to travel to the courthouse. But at least we can enjoy the fact that a papereork glitch did once try to give a cat jury duty XD

Ngl, when I first joined the Bloodymary fandom, I fully was thinking a majority of them were like me in that they were followers of Markiplier who saw Iron Lung to support him.

Imagine my surprise when I discovered that there's actually a lot of fandom members who had never really followed Mark, or even watched him, before getting into this fandom.

On the one hand, this kinda makes sense, right? Mark is merely the actor and filmmaker in this context. You don't need to have engaged with the filmmaker/actor closely to watch a movie he did and engage with a crossover fandom regarding a fictional character he wrote/portrayed. But it does make the fandom's reaction to stuff Mark does (like his reveal of how he knew about Bloodymary) so funny to me and how y'all probably don't know how absolutely Unhinged this man is (/affectionate).

So, to my Bloodymary creators who don't know the Markiplier lore, here are the highlights:

Mark is known to have gone to the hospital Numerous Times, to the point where there's an entire twitter account dedicated to counting the days since his previous hospital visit.

Mark has a bit with fans where he claims he's not a masochist, he just wants to know how much his body can take it, and then he'll turn around and willingly put himself through something he knows is going to cause him a lot of pain.

Not including the hospital visits (some more serious than others), Mark has: gotten tased, gotten pepper-sprayed, broken his nose while doing stunts on an aerial hoop, broken his hand after punching it through dry wall, gotten shot with a paintball gun, and probably various others I'm forgetting. These all happened on camera, by the way.

Mark drank his own pee through his brita filter. Twice.

EDIT: Following up the last point, he at one point experimented with a sauna tent by putting in different liquids other than water to steam in. Yes. One of these was his own piss. Pee sauna it was called.

EDIT 2: Mark actually has, what fans like to call, "egos", which are characters that he's portrayed that either he created or that fans created and he then ran away with. These include: himself if he was an egocentric sociopathic murderer; twins stuck in a single body who's whole schtick is to be vague and deliver the most based villain-sounding monologues; Google; a TV entertainer who breaks the fourth wall and is a mass murderer and was seen as the saddest character he probably ever created until Simon came along; a theater kid who loves prison; Indiana Jones; Jim; and more.

Mark actually cannot drink alcohol because his body can't process it correctly. The last time he got drunk, he had to go to a hospital for a heart attack. (This made the choice he made to have Simon drink rubbing alcohol VERY funny to me)

Mark made a tasteful nudes calendar and (I think?) fucked up his hand because he signed thousands of them over the course of a weekend.

Mark made a video announcing that he would create an Only Fans if the podcast he does with his best friends got to number one streaming on Spotify and Apple Podcasts. Needless to say, it became number one in just a few days and he made the Only Fans.

Mark repeatedly has said how badly he wants to be launched into space. Meanwhile, he has massive thalassophobia (fear of the ocean) and also a fear of mannequins.

Mark (affectionately) bullying his fans is actually quite common. Lots of posts said it already, but him mentioning Bloodymary was not a matter of "if" but "when". Because he ALWAYS pokes fun at memes and fandom stuff we create with his work. He also is the BIGGEST enabler of this too. He tells people to pick apart his projects for secrets he put in, and if we get something wrong or we don't find something he'll tease us about it. Fans will then, affectionately, bully him back. Recently, he's had the habit of dying in Subnautica 2 because he forgets to gain more oxygen and like half the comments are making fun of him for this.

I will say that if you try to go looking for some of these clips, a fair amount are from Unus Annus, a channel he co-created with his friend Ethan Nestor and has since been deleted. But people have made a Many compilation edits so they can be found, they'll just be a bit of a challenge lol.
