Siege_of_the_Dork

A Tumblr for my AO3 account, and just for fun! (Currently writing for whatever brings me joy, most works are BNHA or The Arcana (game), though I am diversifying, with several guest appearances of other fandoms and more to come!) About me: Siege | 20s | Writer/Artist/Cosplayer AMA/requests open! Currently running: Siege of the Whump (March whump prompt list)

if you were like a video game enemy and when you died, you poofed into sparkles and left 3 collectible items behind, what would they be

[l-a-l-o-u]

good job everybody the tags are so fun to read! almost zero repeats too

[youruinedmylifebynotbeingreal]

All backed by incredible songs, too

[siegeofthedork]

Can't leave this in the tags... And as someone who's been listening to this musical for nearly a decade, yeah you GOTTA watch the proshot. The visuals not only are truly brilliant on all fronts, but also really do add to understanding and representing the themes! It is a truly brilliant musical!

Woah, what a great idea!

For people that couldn't watch the video, it's a way to rate public places and businesses and share info on access for wheelchair users.

[this-is-accessibility]

This is Accessibility!!!

I got the app and plan to use it to rate basically everywhere I go, especially as I don't use a wheelchair. I am excited to review places and keep an eye out for accessibility so I can help people navigate the community easier without having to research the places themselves!

[villain-offical]

There really is nothing that can beat it 🤤

[villain-offical]

Okay so seeing as you picky fucks didn't like the gruel, what's the consensus on the Substance

[samthehuman565]

do I even comment on this one. Cause I do have something I can compare it to.

Also why are you eating all of this under what I’m presuming is a deck(?). Or at least something that there are boards above you.

[villain-offical]

I am not ☝️ under a deck if that gives you any hints. I'm not actually outside at all

But the reason is Because I live here

[siegeofthedork]

Ah yes, the Pit of Despair.

From the Nashville Zoo’s fb page! Here’s the petition, please please please take a moment to add your name (even if you’re not from Nashville!). If you are from Tennessee, contact your representatives and make it clear that the people do not want this data center. This is an AZA accredited zoo which is home to several species of critically endangered animals, we NEED to protect it. Make your voice heard!

[muttsandmustelidae]

Because people will pay attention to cute animals, here are some of the critically endangered/endangered species housed at the Nashville Zoo!

The Amur Leopard and Clouded Leopard (which recently celebrated its 50th cub born at the zoo!)

The Sumatran Tiger

The Red Ruffed Lemur and Ring-Tailed Lemur

The Cotton-Top Tamarin and White-Cheeked Gibbon

The Colobus Monkey and De Brazza’s Monkey

And the Mexican Spider Monkey!

Look at them!!!! Look at them and fight like hell to save them!!!!

[traycakes]

Data centers have been recorded creating constant noise at a frequency outside the human range of hearing but which still causes severe issues. This could be even worse with animals that have more sensitive hearing than humans do.

We don't need to wait years to find out these things cause real harm to the communities near them, we have proof already.

[kipinkling]

This is my local-ish zoo. Please sign the petition if you can (and call your state reps if you're a Tennessean).

a crude summary of one of my favorite musicals

[siegeofthedork]

The Hadestown pro shot made me cry three (3) times 😭 I cannot wait to see it again, and I encourage everyone else to see it too!!! After spending the last decade listening to both the OG cast recording and the Broadway cast recording (one of very few musicals I listen to multiple versions of), I was blown away by seeing it, even on the screen.

The themes, like capitalism, come through so much clearer with the visuals stretched. The cast, I can't imagine how much practice they've had. The coordination required for all of the effects and how much they throw things???

And the use of the spinning floor? And the smoke and the use of props? And the voices??? And the band?????

So anyway I'm super normal about this. And I agree with the summary.

hmmm... i wonder why there might be security at synagogue......

Finding out AI companies are chewing through - literally, they’re pulping and burning them as they go - millions of books often including 1/1s and old texts that cannot be reprinted

Meanwhile there’s always some dipshit telling me AI is the future and we’ve got to just let companies erase human history and literature so they can train their abomination machines to pretend to think like people because a judge said it’s fine

SERVICE DOG PSA

So today I tripped. Fell flat on my face, it was awful but ultimately harmless. My service dog, however, is trained to go get an adult if I have a seizure, and he assumed this was a seizure (were training him to do more to care for me, but we didn’t learn I had epilepsy until a year after we got him)

I went after him after I had dusten off my jeans and my ego, and I found him trying to get the attention of a very annoyed woman. She was swatting him away and telling him to go away. So I feel like I need to make this heads up

If a service dog without a person approaches you, it means the person is down and in need of help

Don’t get scared, don’t get annoyed, follow the dog! If it had been an emergency situation, I could have vomited and choked, I could have hit my head, I could have had so many things happen to me. We’re going to update his training so if the first person doesn’t cooperate, he moves on, but seriously guys. If what’s-his-face could understand that lassie wanted him to go to the well, you can figure out that a dog in a vest proclaiming it a service dog wants you to follow him

Protecting Yourself from Criminalization for Self-Managed Abortion — OARS

Self-managed abortion (SMA) with pills is very medically safe and effective throughout early pregnancy, but there is a significant risk of criminalization in many U.S. states. While it is impossible to fully eliminate the risk of criminalization when having or planning to have an abortion at home, t

[kickerofelves]

Leave no online footprint of searches or purchases. Digital Defense Fund’s abortion privacy guide is your go-to resource for this. Using private browsers, two-factor authentication, encrypted messaging, strong passwords, etc. is critical. Google searches have been presented as evidence in an SMA trial before. Do not leave a digital trail.

Use the medications properly to prevent interactions with healthcare providers. The pills are very effective, but they have to be used right. Carefully follow the instructions provided on the How to Use Abortion Pill website. Note that misoprostol tablets should always be taken by dissolving them under the tongue. Do NOT insert misoprostol vaginally if you are self-managing an abortion. While this is medically safe, it can leave incriminating pill remnants that can be detected in the vagina during a pelvic exam if you end up needing to seek medical care. 

If it’s not an emergency but you need expert health advice, use a free calling service like Google Voice to call or text the Miscarriage + Abortion Hotline at 1-833-246-2632. Medical complications are very uncommon with abortion pills, but they’re not impossible. The M+A Hotline is safe to use and is staffed by trustworthy clinicians who volunteer their time to help those who choose SMA. Do not use your own phone number to call as this will create a record that is visible to your cell service provider. 

Don’t disclose any information about SMA to emergency room staff if you do need to seek medical care. This is how most people who are arrested for SMA are reported. Healthcare providers are almost always who calls the police in cases of SMA criminalization. Contrary to popular belief, HIPAA does not protect your private health information from being shared with police if you are suspected of doing something that could be considered a crime. If you believe you need to seek urgent medical care, do not hesitate to go. Say “I think I’m having a miscarriage” and provide your symptoms. Do not mention any use of or purchase of abortion pills. There is no widely available test to detect misoprostol in your bloodstream. If you do not disclose it, there is no way for a medical provider to tell the difference between a medication abortion and a spontaneous miscarriage.

Do not talk to the cops. Period. Do. Not. Talk. To. The. Cops. If you are questioned by police you should state, “I am exercising my right to remain silent, and I wish to speak with an attorney.” Do not speak again or nod in response to a question. Contact the Repro Legal Helpline as soon as possible for expert legal advice: 1-844-868-2812. Do not agree to questioning or speak to any law enforcement official without a lawyer present.

MerMay Update: *I prepare, straightening my papers on the podium surrounded by microphones, looking over the empty room* Hello, thank you for your patience with me, everyone. I had quite the weekend, and it zapped motivation to write. Tonight, the energy has returned (but I'm easing in with a different project). It may be rather delayed, but I will be completing MerMay soon. Thank you again for your trust and patience, you will be hearing from me soon!

Do you play FictIf or Dorian since you like The Arcana? Also hiii

Hi Hello Howdy! Welcome to my corner of the internet!

I got into Arcana ... uhhhh... a longgggg time ago! (at least 7 years? more i think?) So before dorian and fictif. So i only have and use the og app. Beyond when I joined, so much happened with the transition and the fandom and it sort of killed any desire I had to use dorian to engage with new content :/ (granted things were happening even before that) Let me know if you have any other questions!

[siegeofthedork]

>:( laptop is being rude again tonight. I was almost done with today's prompt and getting ready to drop it on AO3 but laptop is being a butt. Apologies to the masses on the edges of your seats. (I say to an empty room) As soon as I can tomorrow I will post when my laptop has had some r&r time overnight. (read: I'm shutting it off for the night)
