EVERYBODY SHOULD READ THIS!!!!!!!!! REBLOG…IT CAN SAVE A LIFE OR TWO!!! WARNING: Some knew about the red light on cars, but not Dialing 112. An UNMARKED police car pulled up behind her and put his lights on. Lauren’s parents have always told her to never pull over for an unmarked car on the side of the road, but rather to wait until they get to a gas station, etc. Lauren had actually listened to her parents advice, and promptly called, 112 on her cell phone to tell the police dispatcher that she would not pull over right away. She proceeded to tell the dispatcher that there was an unmarked police car with a flashing red light on his rooftop behind her. The dispatcher checked to see if there were police cars where she was and there weren’t, and he told her to keep driving, remain calm and that he had back up already on the way.  Ten minutes later 4 cop cars surrounded her and the unmarked car behind her. One policeman went to her side and the others surrounded the car behind. They pulled the guy from the car and tackled him to the ground. The man was a convicted rapist and wanted for other crimes. I never knew about the 112 Cell Phone feature. I tried it on my AT&T phone & it said, “Dialing Emergency Number.” Especially for a woman alone in a car, you should not pull over for an unmarked car. Apparently police have to respect your right to keep going on to a safe place. *Speaking to a service representative at Bell Mobility confirmed that 112 was a direct link to State trooper info. So, now it’s your turn to let your friends know about “Dialing, 112” You may want to send this to every Man, Woman & Youngster you know; it may well save a life.  This applies to ALL 50 states PLEASE PASS ALONG TO FRIENDS AND FAMILY, IT CAN SAVE A LIFE….

Reblogging for anyone of the feminine preference that follow me. (Or for general knowledge.)

please snopes this shit.

112 is not for the US. It's for the EU. 112 will SOMETIMES work in the US, but if it does, it's just going to forward you to 911. Calling 911 is always the more direct option.

JUST CALL 911!!!!!

sarahfu replied to your post: sarahfu replied to your post:…

haha, well no, not necessarily a big wardrobe? i never said “huge trendy wardrobe". but a few pieces that they have that are favorites, that they made or altered themselves or commissioned.

Which is not what I was talking about.

[sarahfuarchive-blog]

oh i am on my deadblog now so i will reblog

Basically what I'm saying is, while you make salient points in regards to any sort of implication that a podunk character has a whole wardrobe full of trendy stuff, it's also sort of strange to assume (and this is what I'm getting from what's being posted) that the pictures are meant to show what the character is always wearing and has constant access to.

While I know it's hard to get trendy clothes, having lived extensively in small towns in the Bible belt, it's not impossible. Car trips to bigger cities specifically for clothes shopping are one possibility. Mail order catalogs are another, along with the whole concept of customized clothing, making things yourself, etc.

And of course, there's the character implication. The implication that the character would want to wear nice looking clothing, and wouldn't mind going moderately out of the way to do so. If there's a much bigger implication here, I'm afraid I'm not seeing it! Besides, assuming that a fictional universe operates strictly by the same rules ours does (in regards to ordering clothes, internet, access to fancy outfits, etc) is an oddly specific one, especially if we're talking about Night Vale here, (i kind of get the impression we are discussing night vale) land of angelic visitors and Lovecraftian station managers.

kingcheddarxvii said: Ok am I the topic of conversation now because I really don’t wanna be

tbh?

no haha you're not. i've discussed how dumb i think HEADCANON COMPLAINING is in the past, you just basically set me off again

in a way this is like your posts about headcanons actually? like, your posts weren't aimed at anyone, but there were definitely people who felt a little targeted - if not vagueblogged about - just because they happened to be a part of the demographic you were being less than kind toward, and you might follow them!

you just happen to be in the demographic i disagree with and now i'm TALKIN ABOUT HEADCANON SHIT AGAIN so

no you're not really the topic of this conversation, i'm just discussing it in general

[sarahfuarchive-blog]

[1:28:59 AM] James: its just so like

[1:29:08 AM] James: haha this is MY specific opinion about this character

[1:29:15 AM] James: WHAT someone else has a different one??????????

[1:29:20 AM] James: how dare they not read my damn mind

[1:29:23 AM] Sarahfu: yeah exactly

[sarahfuarchive-blog]

tychosexual said: I agree! There’s this weird mentality that if a headcanons isn’t poc or queer or SOMETHING it’s boring! I don’t think white dude characters are inherently a problem, but I think talking about why people read a char as white interesting.

YEAH SON I LIKE THIS intelligent analysis is always rad!

I've heard "Mr Rogers" and "stereotypical Mormon" now, I dig both of these

but PERSONALLY I enjoy imagining him as Indian......

[sarahfuarchive-blog]

tychosexual said: I think critiques on headcanons are best if they analyze a trend, using someone as an example for an issue you see across the board is just really rude and not necessary. You are not having a conversation you are vilifying someone!

 I mean, I know people who have SUPER POPULAR depictions of Cecil, and he happens to be white, and they are great people. So maybe we could NOT just make blanket statements about how their chosen headcanon is boring? They're just fanartists. They don't deserve that. Just encourage variety without being insulting or dismissive.

[sarahfuarchive-blog]

kingcheddarxvii said: YEAH I’ve been looking at it as a fandom thing and not a personal thing tho. I wouldn’t go up to somebody and say “HEY YOUR HEADCANON SUCKS", but if there’s one that’s generally accepted and I don’t like it then like that’s a fair opinion to express

Well my point is that just because one is generally accepted doesn't make it less personal to the people who have it? Like, you see 20 people who have a white Cecil headcanon, but they all have individual reasons for imagining him that way (I've heard "he reminds me of Mr. Rogers" for one) so if you're like "ugh look at all those boring nerds" you're still gonna make them go :(

[sarahfuarchive-blog]

kingcheddarxvii said: yeah I agree and like I’m not tryin to shame anybody or be a jerk or say their headcanons are inferior, I just don’t feel the need to mask my opinion about a headcanon I don’t like because I don’t think it’s something that should be taken personally

ALAS, if you're blunt about something that people consider near and dear to their hearts, and is indeed personal to them, they are likely to take it personally.

About Headcanons

Headcanons are largely very personal things. They're often a reflection of the person who has them, and their own experiences! Sometimes, headcanons can be more personal to someone than their original stuff - because headcanons are explicitly just for them to have fun with, whereas when someone makes original content with the intent of appealing to an audience, they take more time to try to be considerate with what they're producing.

Is it bad to suggest people consider diversifying their headcanons? NAH MAN NOT AT ALL, suggest away! The best way to suggest it is to lead by example and show how rad it is, or just ask them nicely if they'd consider drawing the character as a different race sometime! The worst way is to be a condescending, dismissive jerk to people about how their headcanons are inferior or boring based on the race they've chosen to draw the character. Since, like I said, headcanons are usually pretty personal and for fun, you'll make most people defensive.

Remember: individuals are not Disney, or NBC, or Mattel, and they don't have the same social obligation or social weight with their creative output, especially when we're discussing headcanons for characters they don't even own the rights to. Also if some artists have a disproportionate amount of white characters in general, they're still individuals that are products of their society - they're a symptom of the problem, not the problem itself. Treating them poorly is counter-productive. Most of them don't even realize they're doing it! Just suggest, suggest, suggest. And don't be a dick about it.

Well, this was today’s little project: getting to know RPGmaker VX Ace! I made a tiny RPG based on BenKo’s beginner tutorial, but I infused it with my own… flavor. All assets in the game are from the program itself. I made nothing except for the script/events. 

Download here.

Controls: X = Cancel/Menu Z/Enter = Confirm/Examine Shift = Dash

Features silly flavor text all over and 2 different endings. All told, it should take you about 20 minutes to play thoroughly.

Let me know if there’s anything genuinely game breaking. I’m pretty sure it’s too small for that but you never know!

[sarahfuarchive-blog]

Hey look, it's my RPG!

And my new blog!

Go follow that one and unfollow this one. And go get the secret canon (BL) ending for my silly practice RPG.

Also: tell me if you're interested in some RPGmaker VX Ace learning videos!

Moving notice!

SARAHFU ---> SARAHFUARCHIVE

This blog is now defunct and will no longer be updated. (It will be checked occasionally for messages/questions.) I'll repost this a few more times so everyone interested has seen it.

THE NEW SARAHFU! It's for art and project updates only, and I'll be keeping all of my personal and vent blogging to twitter - or possibly sideblogs. Follow if you feel like it, dudes. This blog is now a relic. It's been fun!

[sarahfuarchive-blog]

Hi there! I just want to say I really love your artwork. I was wondering how you feel about your art as tattoos? You drew a Rose that would look wonderful as one so I was just curious!

I am more than okay with this, and only demand photos of the work in return. Others have expressed interest in getting that picture as a tattoo as well... I do wonder if anyone ever will!

[sarahfuarchive-blog]

you know what i need in my life?

a Doug Te** n**N **a**pel alternative. (name spaced b/c apparently he googles himself and gets weird with his critics) 

his art is so stupidly inspiring to me but he's really vocally against gay marriage and openly thinks gays are second class citizens

does anyone know someone whose art is similarly fluid and expressive?
