Which path should he choose?
The path of the warrior, the path of the scholar, or the path of the artist?
he should wander away and have a picnic while he thinks about what path to choose
Great idea! But where should he have the picnic?
Under the tree, or under the old fort?
By the sea, so he can enjoy the sound of the waves
A lovely choice!
Should he build a sandcastle to pass the time? Or perhaps go fishing?
Perhaps he could collect shells he finds interesting
Sounds fun!
Which shell should he pick up?
This one
That's not a shell, it's a tiny earpiece.
Should he listen to music? Or to the mysterious pre-recorded message?
He should give it back to the crab in the largest shell, they thought they had lost their wave-pod and are grateful he found it!
The crab wants to give a gift in return.
Should he accept the gift of power, or the gift of knowledge?
the gift of friendship :)
Friendship acquired!
Should they celebrate with pizza or ice cream?
The crab friend cannot eat either of those! Let's split a nice seaweed salad instead. :)
So many options!
Should they get tossed salad, wiggly salad, or spiky salad?
Seasar salad
Nothing beats getting it straight from the source
Should they use scissors or claws to cut the seaweed?
What about that sword in the first panel?
The circle is complete.
Through choices, friendship, and salad, he found his way to the path of the warrior. But he won't walk it alone.
Their path is just beginning, but this story is over.
Thank you to everyone who participated!
This is somehow both the epitome and antithesis of "yes, and" and it FASCINATES me
"No, and"

setting up a tiny detail in one chapter to pay it off in the next few chapters feels sooo devious like oooh i can't wait to write the small little reference here that 70% of readers will miss but 30% of readers will cheer for
it feels so good loading the gun when you're Chekhov
This happened on my dash
Also to be clear if you put the new Harry Potter show on my dashboard I will be unfollowing and probably blocking you. JK Rowling is responsible for the death and pain of too many trans people to count in my country and I cannot tolerate her new way of trying to gain cultural and financial power in any way shape or form.
I don't even want to see critiques of it. I don't want to see hatewatch reviews about how bad or dumb or racist or transphobic parts of it are like people did for the fantastic beasts movies of the hogwarts video game. You are part of the problem. Do not feed the machine. Let it die. You do not need to consume media you don't like just to show off to everyone else how much you don't like it. It's especially heinous if you say something like "I'm donating the cost of a movie ticket or a month's streaming subscription to a trans charity," because that doesn't balance the scales, it doesn't negate the evil, it just shows you are willing to support both sides, making you a spineless coward.
Just fucking ignore it and understand that it's going to be recationary on purpose. It's going to be full of bait. Warner Bros is counting on there being a ton of controversy to boost the numbers because there's no such thing as bad publicity.
DO NOT ENGAGE. Let it come and go, and maybe the numbers will be bad enough that it gets canceled before it gets to book 7. Probably not, though. This is a tentpole for WB, they're putting all their eggs in this basket, it's not gonna bomb like Morbius. They're gonna push it through to the end no matter what, so just do your part by not playing along.
don’t even pirate it. let it die in obscurity.
Here is a fun challenge. If you ACTUALLY want to do something material against this stupid fucking show, that's a two-step process.
Step One: As described above, JUST IGNORE IT. Do not comment on it, do not mention it, do not even say the name of it or the series that it is based on, do not put anything in the tags. As of right now, It Does Not Exist, PERIOD.
Step Two: Go find some trans/nb authors to fall in love with. Read their books. Flood the internet with recommendations, discussion, fanart, fanfic, anything. The show is a hateful thing, so fight back with Love. Drown it out by openly, loudly, vocally loving Anything Else But That. Especially around the time the show gets released, coordinate together to drown it out with all the noise you can make about authors who deserve it way more than whatshername.
Will this make much of a difference to whatshername or Warner Bros? Nope! But I guarantee you this will make an immense difference to the trans/nb authors you're loving out loud. Do you know how often authors who don't have mega-fandoms get fanart of their work? EXTREMELY rarely. Do you know what sales numbers are like for smaller authors without big-budget marketing support? It can be just one or two books a week, if that. One single reader getting vocally enthusiastic on the internet can boost that by a factor of ten. If they've got a big following, it's a factor of a hundred. I'm not joking.
You can't take money out of whosits and WB's pockets in any way that matters, but you can throw your VOCAL, NOISY, LOUD support behind trans/nb authors in a way that very, very, very much would matter.
I love being friends with prostitutes and transsexuals and artists and drug dealers and perverts and queers

Like to charge reblog to cast
I haven't seen dancing pumpkin guy ONCE this year, are you guys okay?
FINE! I'll do it myself
Why did 12 people reblog this today??? IT IS ONLY AUGUST!!!
Two stunning winners ✨️
anyway in case you don’t know it yet
The country's data-protection regulator has serious privacy concerns over the technology.
Not only is this true, Italy’s privacy watchdog fined OpenAI for 15 million euros in late 2024.
ok but the full translation is also extremely good
that translation is accurate except for that last part. pflegestufe doesnt really translate to a state of need, its moreso means that the weed would leave you disabled in a way that makes you legally eligible for care or assistance
"is there anyplace in 2024 where one can still buy normal grass, or is there only shinzo abe pack chernobyl 1000 degree hot-knife whoreson nirvana haze that leaves one eligible for state care"
EXCUSE ME THERE IS A PLANT THAT CAN MIMIC FAKE PLANTS?????
IT'S CALLED A BOQUILA TRIOFOLIOLATA AND IT'S FUCKING WITH MY BRAIN
IT APPARENTLY CAN MIMIC OTHER PLANTS AND AT FIRST I WAS LIKE "oh cool man it must take it's genetic code and copy it or feel the roots or something like that!! :3"
AND THEN I READ AN ARTICLE ON IT AND THESE FUCKING PARAGRAPHS HIT ME LIKE A BUS
LIKE READ THIS SHIT
WHAT THE FUCK MOTHER NATURE
I went to find the article. It's fascinating.
In retrospect, consider the number 1 thing every grade-schooler knows about plants is they take in light, the idea they might be able to see should not wreck my shit as hard as it does
If you think this is cool, you should read Semiosis by Sue Burke, a scifi novel about sapient alien plants
This study (and Semiosis) are both mentioned in a nonfiction book I recommended called The Light Eaters by Zoe Schlanger. My library had a copy.
baby i’ve got half finished wips you couldn’t even imagine
which would be more pathetic?
Target begs the gays to come back with huge Pride collection
Target gargles fascism even harder and releases NO Pride collection at all
Target pisses off everyone by releasing a Pride collection but it's half-assed
goes without saying the boycott is still on and absolutely NOTHING target does now or in the future will be good enough to forget or ignore their enthusiastic support of this fascist regime
CONGRATS EVERYONE they released a half-assed Pride collection so fast they forgot to remove the placeholder text on all the tags lol
Yeah not only did they not write copy for the tags, they made the least rainbow Pride collection possible. Like. These are the clothes:
I'm not surprised given this is a company that recently fired 2 of its DEI executives, but still. Bleak.
Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell: The Pride Collection
Divorce seems to radicalize american men in a way that needs to be studied
A divorced american man will join a right wing terror group because he didnt get custody of the kids he didnt take care of at all
An american man will have an affair with a colleague, get caught, get divorced, and join isis
Intelligent words from @junequeer
God, I love tumblr, its the only place where we can get a philosophical analysis of why divorcees crumble and it was in the tags. Like if not for the screenshot, 90% of people would miss this wisdom
