hey I wonder what happens if I put powdered milk into carbonated water

[homunculus-argument]

my cereal is loud and it's demanding to know why I would sin against both nature and god so thoughtlessly

[catgirlwheels]

...how does it taste?

[homunculus-argument]

bad

[writingtoolofdubiousintegrity]

the fizz comes from carbonic acid in the water splitting up into CO₂ and H₂O over time. And carbonic acid is – as an acid – sour.

By adding milk to sour water you've created a very convincing emulation of spoiled milk, so I'll believe in a heartbeat that the taste is Not Great™.

I have mastered the potion: Instant Spoiled Milk, therefore earning the rank of shittiest alchemist currently alive.

also, i know this might sound corny but like.... please be nice to other people online. not even trying to say this in a like a, 'oh because you never know what they might be going throughhhh' kind of way just like. be nice man. stop hate following along with things. be more patient with strangers. stop trying to get off cunty one liners for your five seconds of smirking like a dreamworks poster protag.

ive said it before but as a tool and a 'place', i really love the internet, genuinely. i dont like the resignation that it has to be, and stay, a place thats full of misery and fighting. ive met a lot of really wonderful people here, and i think we could all have a nice time together if everyone did their part to make it so that was possible. im not speaking down to you as someone whos never made these mistakes, im asking as someone whos also made them alongside you.

something about love makes you look at things differently. the really important part of this is that any love will work. if you love blue you will see it everywhere. if you love soft things you will note the cat and the thread count and the moss. you will find your best friend in ugly greeting cards and haunted dolls and terrible fanfics and since they remind you of her they will be beautiful.

so you will love the world differently for having loved someone else. you will love a certain cereal or pokemon because of your brother. you will hear your favorite band's song playing in a random store and the love of it will make the whole world a little more golden. you will read a poem so many times the words become their own creatures. you will find you cannot listen to certain music without thinking of your favorite show.

this velveteen rabbit transformation occurs. the love does not stop, it echoes.

I don't fuck w nerds, the moment I can smell lore correction coming I'm like "Oh Neptune" and I gotta call my mom and ask her to pick me up

If I'm like "I really liked the scene where Gandalf learns the truth about the Ring in the first movie" and someone's like "Oh you mean when he was in Minas Tirith, originally known as Minas Anor when it was first built in the Third Age?" I am pulling the nearest fire alarm

[parkchanwoohoo]

Them: Pelargir prospered further under the reign of the the Ship-kings, and Tarannon Falastur, 12th king of Gondor, built a home there, though Berúthiel, his wife, didn't care for it

Me, sweating: D. Did you know that. That Viggo Mortensen really broke his toe. In that one scene

[tricky-pockets]

hey quick question, probably not important - how did you know all that stuff to put in the hypotheticals

My biggest tip for fanfic writers is this: if you get a character's mannerisms and speech pattern down, you can make them do pretty much whatever you want and it'll feel in character.

Logic: Characters, just like real people, are mallable. There is typically very little that's so truly, heinously out of character that you absolutely cannot make it work under any circumstance. In addition, most fans are also willing to accept characterization stretches if it makes the fic work. Yeah, we all know the villain and the hero wouldn't cuddle for warmth in canon. But if they did do that, how would they do it?

What counts is often not so much 'would the character do this?' and more 'if the character did do this, how would they do it?' If you get 'how' part right, your readers will probably be willing to buy the rest, because it will still feel like their favourite character. But if it doesn't feel like the character anymore, why are they even reading the fic?

Worry less about whether a character would do something, and more about how they'd sound while doing it.

[mossbear-minese]

I don't remember where I saw this piece of advice so I can't credit it, unfortunately

But it was along the lines of "instead of asking whether something is out of character, ask 'what would it take for this character to do this'"

Which I think fits really nicely with this advice of making the actual action itself also feel in character

e-beg (i need an exterminator)

hey i really did not want to make this post and i avoided it for as many literal months as i could but i'm entirely out of other options. my apartment is infested with bedbugs. like really severely unmanageably infested. we need 2 or more rounds of exterminations. they are in everything and on every surface in the apartment. nothing we've tried has even slightly worked. i'm starting to get really ill

a while ago my roommate realized there was a nest of thousands of them near his bed, and instead of taking any advice, freaked out and ended up spreading them all over the apartment. they are now literally everywhere. i am getting bit at a rate of around 3 times every 25 minutes

i am extremely allergic to bed bugs. they give me hives, burning, breathing problems, drop my body temperature, make me feel like i'm about to pass out, and cause me excruciating pain. this is an unacceptable way to live. i can't sleep. the only times i get an escape are when i'm outside in the freezing cold, sometimes not even then as they'll latch onto my clothes

i'm really sorry but i need any help i can get. an exterminator is way out of our budget right now and we desperately need one as soon as humanly possible. our landlord will not do so as he isn't contractually obligated to anymore and has refused to. please, if you can help, i really need it. thanks

A month

Half a year to a year

I would not believe I was turning into a vampire

Voting ended onJan 13

You are you living your normal life. You have a night where the details are kind of foggy but you shrug it off and continue living your life. How long will it take you to realize 1. vampires are real and 2. you are one

Bonus in the tags: what symptom finally tips you off that your new affliction is supernatural and cannot be explained with known science

[fixyourwritinghabits]

I WILL bring this up again. You will give yourself a huge leg-up by learning basic skills. Look up free YouTube tutorials, see if your library has training classes, take a computer literacy class if you can fit it into your class schedule.

You will do so much better at a job if you can use just the basic functions of Excel, Word, and Outlook. Interested in coding? Learn it! Everyone telling you that AI is going to get rid of the need to know how to do HTML is a damn liar. Take a step back to figure out what you don't know, pick the first thing on the list, and go learn it. It will be worth it!

i do wanna say, amidst everything going on, especially with ai and just the overall devaluing of art, I'm immensely grateful for everyone that supports mine. people who share it, people who commission, and people who leave wonderful comments

it's easy to drown in bleakness rn if you're anyone who has creative passions so I want to appreciate the people who keep us going through their support

[nudityandnerdery]

I want you to remember:

The fascists hate you too and they just will pretend otherwise until after they've killed the rest of us, before they turn on you.

[nudityandnerdery]

Thanks to whoever tried, but I knew they'd never allow it.

[library-graffiti]

Let's do it the old fashioned way. Spread it far and wide.

[victusinveritas]

Reminder: you can't be the whole wall against stopping fascism by yourself. Nobody can. But you damn sure can be a brick.

[nudityandnerdery]

There's a lot of good comments and tags in the notes, but this one is very important, I feel like it deserves some emphasis.

Part of how authoritarianism works is telling you that you can't stop it. And you can't stop it by yourself. But it wants to stop the train of thought there and let you fall into despair.

You need to remember the next part: you don't have to stop it by yourself.

You're not alone. Take care of your community and let your community take care of you. Supporting each other is so vital.

YOUR ART ON TUMBLR IS BEING USED TO TRAIN AI!

The setting that prevents your work being used to train AI models is turned off by default! I had no idea about this until now! Artists, go to your settings, click “visibility”, and turn on this setting! Protect your work!
