hi im hosting a MAProject
(side-eyes w.y.a mournfully)
song is crossing the line from the tangled series on netflix (i believe?). there are 13 parts left. theme is ‘main character has HAD ENOUGH’ and is explained more in the google doc linked in the video desc.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-PxKjmqDcSE&t=2s
gifted kid burnout things that no one seems to talk about:
the raw panic of hearing about your potential, positive or negative
a weird brand of imposter syndrome where you genuinely think you’ve fluked your way through every success and you’re gonna be Exposed as a Fraud
never having learned how to study and having no idea where to start now that you need to
reading college level books as a kid but being basically illiterate now
dismissing your struggles as irrelevant because other people have it harder and i should be smart enough to handle this
feeling like you’ve lost all control over your life (maybe manifesting into depression, anxiety and disordered eating in a grasp for control over something)
being unable to decide on a career path because you could have had everything, only to watch those opportunities disappear as you fail to commit
this post is a placeholder so that i can reblog it with my brand-new
which bender type are you? ATLA quiz
and here is the link!
https://www.quotev.com/quiz/12681344/What-type-of-Bender-are-you-Avatar-The-Last-Airbender
go forth and enjoy. there are nine (9!!!) results and they are all possible to get.
*this quiz does not contain song lyrics. it does not require you to know anything about any piece of media.
nonbender?? lol that’s fair i get to be mai and she kicked ass 😔🤘
@tea-and-honeys :O
i got firebender uwu,,,
Boost this please
I can defintely get behind that "mark deleting videos out of the blue is kinda stressing out" thing. but tbh im sure he wouldnt delete a video that holds alot of meaning like herat of heroes,or emotional stuff,he wouldnt delete an important video from his channel. but hey at least theres still projects to look out for that he have in store,so i doubt he'd delete them as well akelglh
I know it’s just annoying. I mean… he was playing red mist, imagine if the creator had arbitrarily decided to delete the video that gave the clues. From that perspective it’s just silly to delete videos. Like? Maybe he’s losing money on those videos but? Just say that? Instead of making a big deal about how people need to let go of attachments? Let us have our own philosophy XP
hes only deleting the unus annus videos?? im absolutely certain that none of the videos on his or ethans separate channels are getting effected at the end of the year

Happiness Will Come To You.
when tho
When You Least Expect It. Probably Late March
reblog for happiness to come for you in late march!
I reblogged this last year and I hung out with blink-182 backstage on March 30. Reblogging again because it worked the first time.
honestly, last year one of the best days of my life happened in late March
Hey, I’ll give it a shot!
I'm so fuming mad! Please talk to all of the fic writers you know, contact all of your friends on tumblr, leave comments with warnings Ao3. Report the app. And leave a super low rating in the app store.
Fanfic Pocket Archive Library stole all of our works!
That's pretty much the entire fandom.
You know what the problem is? It's not that my work is read somewhere else, or that those fucks get to profit from our work, it's that creators will stop making new things if all that happens is that their work gets stolen. They'll be frustrated and hurt and fandom culture will die. Please reblog this, and please make more posts for other fandoms to be warned. Let's put an end to this. Help your fellow fanders have their works taken down!
I heard about this issue a few months ago, so I instantly started adding "don't copy to another site" tags
Apparently that wasn't enough. Guys I just reblogged below this some things you can do to help with this, we need to stop this right now. If this gets bad enough authors are going to start taking down work most likely or only uploading to sites some people dont use, because anything would be better than your work being stolen
This is bad, this is for not just fandoms but people who post original works too. I haven't looked but my works are probably up on that site, and I will say right now I never give permission for people to repost my fanfics (or art for that matter)
Check out the post below this, we need to stop this now before it gets worse, before it corrupts the Ao3 community completely
I'm currently warning people i know. @impatentpending @randomslasher @a-valorous-choice i've already found on that site and messaged. I hope you guys can get your work taken down and maybe help spread the word.
SPREAD THIS
@whatwashernameagain if you put all your works on "visible only to registered users" you can't read your work on the app. I've tested it out.
all my works have now been edited so that they’re visible only to registered users for this exact purpose
question: @accio-hufflepuff-power1 did your works disappear when you changed them to be visible only to registered users, as in they were previously visible through the app and then disappeared after you changed the setting?
If that is the case then this app is not saving your works to some other database, it is crawling AO3 live for search results and then fetching them.
The fact that the dev is asking for 'tips' is not great, but not entirely unreasonable.
Allowing users to save works offline is something AO3 already does.
All this is if my understanding is right, is an app that displays AO3 more neatly than a mobile website, because AO3 doesn't have its own app.
I really don't understand what the problem is. A theres third party apps for all kinds of websites that haven't bothered to make their own apps.
I can't say for any of the other apps of this kind, but I'm really not sure there's anything wrong with this.
Thank you for trying to help spread information. I'll try to explain what the problem for me, personally. My work has been taken by some dirtbag without my consent and he is making money off of it, which i have been writing on for free for over two years, without permission. That hurts me more than i can explain. I feel violated because i wanted to give this to the world for free. I made a choice to invest hundreds of hours and tears and pain into my work and have it to the world in good faith. It is part of the wonderful fanculture we all live in to provide our love and effort to everyone- that is why AO3 exists as well.
Everyone there is working for the fandom and not for themselves.
I have the feeling that only people who don't create things themselves could ask what the big deal is, but maybe others are just not as upset over this as i am. However, you see how hurt and upset authors are. THAT is the big deal.
Imagine it like this. We all come together and create a garden. Every one of us works there for free - has been for almost 20 years in fact. They bring their own tools and buy the saplings themsleves and pour all of their deepest feelings, like their memory of deceased loved ones that taught them to garden, into the park. Sometimes, they work so hard for the people who love they flowers their hands bleed and they fall asleep in the early hours of the morning. And it's free. Everyone can come as they please, look around, pick things they like.
And now this bitch comes along and sells maps at the gate. He has never worked a day in this garden. He says he does it because he loves the garden while the money merrily rattles in his pockets. He does not ask if he can be part of the garden, he does not share his money with the gardeners. And what is more, he suggests to young people, who do not know the garden well yet, that they need him to find their way around. That they should pay him a fee - which gets renewed if they don't forget to cancel in time, so he can personally guide them through the garden. All of the gardeners are hurt, betrayed, afraid for the way their culture will change with his greed, but he doesn't care. The garden that has always been there for everyone is now his - because not everyone even knows you can walk in for free. As long as he is guarding the gate, he'll make sure there are only parts of the garden you can see - and he makes sure you know it. "Give me a little tip, and i'll let you see everything. Trust me. I love the garden." He says, while the gardeners cry over how what they have been used.

Fun fact.
There’s this thing called sleep inertia.
It happens when your alarm clock wakes you up in the wrong part of your cycle. Because you didn’t get a full “cycle” of sleep, your brain goes “nooope, not gonna wake up.”
And it can last as long as four hours, although thirty minutes is about typical.
If you get woken up by something like, say, your partner and don’t have to get up right away, then your brain will quite sensibly suggest that you stay put until you’re all the way awake.
In other words, “In my bed convincing myself to get up for 30 minutes” is a normal physiological reaction. Some people do seem to be more prone to it than others, though, and if you get severe or prolonged sleep inertia you should probably talk to your doctor about a sleep study. Severe sleep inertia can also result in depression.
But that “I’m-awake-but-don’t-make-me-move” feeling is normal. Especially if you have to wake up at the same time every day…like, ya know, most of us
Open Letter To The Sanders Sides Fandom
Okay, this is kinda a long one but stick with me? It’s important.
If you watched a movie, and the only character of colour was the villain, that would be a bad time. Same if the villain was the only gay character, or disabled character - but all of these films have definitely happened in the past! Society’s view of what makes a fictional villain has always been coloured by real-world prejudices.
So about The Duke -
Remus’s villainhood may be arguable (and I’m not interested in arguing about it on this post) but he is undeniably an antagonist of the Sanders Sides series. More importantly for our purposes, he is explicitly associated with things which are gross, upsetting, and societally unacceptable.
I’m not the first person to point out that in fan-art, Remus is often the only side drawn with visible body hair. Me and some other people have recently discussed the same pattern cropping up with other traits: things like uneven teeth, excessive sweating, a large nose, or acne. All traits which society’s image of beauty generally tries to exclude.
To some extent, it’s good that people are drawing those traits, because they’re too often ignored by artists! But at the same time, it can really suck to be a person who has one or more of those traits in real life, and to see yourself only ever represented in fanart as the socially unacceptable one.
As you can imagine, it can feel real close to being told “these things about you are things you should want to hide about yourself, just like Remus is for Thomas” - especially since people with those traits are often explicitly told that very thing by society’s beauty standards! Even if the Remus in question is in an AU where he’s one of the good guys, it’s impossible to escape the connotations we all have for him in canon.
Stepping out of my lane a little, I can’t help but wonder what any fanders with facial birthmarks or scars have to say about these being common depictions of human Deceit. On the one hand, it’s another form of representation which is often skipped over - but on the other hand, Deceit has his own set of negative associations, including manipulativeness, deceit, and villainy. Again, it can be deeply hurtful to only see yourself as the villain.
To some extent, the original sin here lies with the canonical character designs. Remus is designed to look gross, and society has a certain view of what that means. But Deceit in particular plays into an old, old trope of villains with prominent facial asymmetry - and that trope is inherently, implicitly tied to society’s bias against people with facial disfigurements. I’m sure that link was unintentional on the part of @thatsthat24 and @thejoanglebook - it’s not something that society often talks about, and I didn’t think about it much before I saw this excellent pair of videos by The Princess & The Scrivener. But the mistake still happened, and now we as a fandom have to collectively decide how we’re dealing with it.
So what now? Well, I’m not going to pretend there’s an easy answer.
First of all, don’t freak out. A lot of people (including me) have played into one or more of the above tropes, and if you’re one of them, I am not saying you’re a bad person. This is a complicated issue, not a black-and-white one, and just because I want us to think more about how and when we include this kind of representation doesn’t mean I think this fandom would be better with no representation at all.
As always, one of the best ways to make your representation of societally-disapproved-of traits fairer is to include more of it, on a wide variety of characters, so that the implications are not always the same. That might feel strange at first - but please bear in mind that no-one is immune to society’s biases, not even you. If something feels “out of character” for a hero character but fine for a villain one, you should always question where that impulse is coming from.
If you do decide to assign a trait like this to only Remus and/or Deceit, you can help to mitigate the potential harm by making sure not to connect these physical traits with the negative personality traits of the characters. No-one’s personality is determined by their physical appearance, even if our fiction loves to pretend otherwise.
Most importantly, if someone questions you on how you’re representing your villains and/or the dark sides compared with the heroes/light sides, please listen to them with an open mind. No-one is above constructive criticism, and getting defensive doesn’t help anyone.
TL;DR: Representing traits that society considers unattractive is not good representation if you only ever include them on villain characters.
great post, lulu!!! I’ve mentioned before that I feel similarly about aromantic headcanons (people tend to headcanon the “heartless and unfeeling” or “sexually deviant” characters as aromantic, e.g. the ever popular aromantic remus and ace roman).
it’s all stuff that perpetuates negative stereotypes and can, even subtly, make people feel bad about themself. and the best way to rectify this is just to add more representation!!!
it’s important to pay attention of the way you present all your characters, especially, as mentioned, ones that could largely be considered villains. and if you notice yourself doing the above, be calm and aware and change for the better. all excellent points.
a bit ago, just after remus was introduced, i was working on creating a superhero au. deceit and patton were twins and both vitiligo. i dont remember what i was doing for remus, but i think i was just going to give him a lil facial hair, not the atrocity that is his canon mustache. everyone was gonna be at least a lil bit hairy, and im pretty sure i was planning on having logan and/or patton be fatter than the others. is this a goodish way of spreading the representation? im thinking of taking up this au again lol and was wondering if there was a better way to do it ?

This is why I have this. Even if they can get the lock opened they can’t push the door open. Got it at Lowes for $20.
reblog for that last bit to save a life
If you’re like me and have a large gap under your front door (someone could take a stick and just poke the leaning stick style door jam out), I recommend the Addalock. It’s small, perfect for traveling, and this lock is CRAZY. It’s so simple but the door does not move.
You can’t see it from the other side, either. It also cost about $20, and I can’t recommend it enough. Easy to travel with, too! Great for Air BnBs!
That’s why I have these on my doors. They get drilled into the side and once its flipped over the door nothing is getting it open. Not the door being unlocked nothing, I’ve unlocked the door and pulled and pushed as hard as I could and it didn’t budge. When I go on a trip this is what I use and when I’m home I leave it on too. No one is getting in here.
Okay I know that it is necessary for many but what do you do if you need medical attention and you’re not able to open the door from the inside? Can the fire department get through these at least?
Yes. The fire department can and will break down your door if necessary, it’s one of the reasons they have axes; it’s entirely possible for door frames to melt/expand/seize or otherwise become unopenable during a house fire but the door itself can be hacked down. Or the window. In rare cases, the wall. Firefighters don’t fuck around with collateral damage when lives are at stake.
sewing is one of those skills everyone with the ability should know IMO. i’ve known too many people who just throw out perfectly servicable clothing and bedding because of tears or buttons that have fallen off and these can be fixed at home. sewing’s not hard either.
sewing, like baking bread, is one of those basic skills that corporations have convinced people is just impossible or too expensive for the average person to do in order to manipulate people into buying things.
i’m not saying sewing is possible for everyone, but if you have motor skills fine enough to, say, replace lead in a mechanical pencil, you can learn to sew, and you can help people who can’t sew. here’s a good guide with gifs.

A book crystallized in the ocean
oh mood
NO NO NO.
This was not crystallized by the ocean. People. No. This is why artist credit is SO DAMN IMPORTANT THERE ARE SO MANY PEOPLE MISINFORMED HERE.
Alexis Arnold is an artist who creates crystallized books. Her work is amazing and beautiful, she’s made dozens of these.
This particular one was not made by her, however, it was actually created by Catherine McEver - who was inspired to try it after seeing a show of Alexis Arnold’s work. It’s literally the first picture on Google image results if you search for “crystallized books” and she posted about it on her blog showing other process shots as she made it.
TWO DIFFERENT WOMEN ARE BEING DEPRIVED OF CREDIT FOR THEIR CREATIVITY BECAUSE THIS FALSE INFORMATION IS BEING SPREAD. FUCK THAT.
Considering how many times I’ve seen the uncredited post on my dash I’m finally going to reblog it, with the proper credits.
I looked her up and these sculptures are really cool like look at these,
