*doom music starts to play* I actually kindof like scheduling these kinds of appointments now...

but seriously Fellas, don't forget to schedule a pap smear every couple of years just in case. If you still have a cervix you can still get cervical cancer. ilu

this has been a psa

i've had this as an idea since 2017 btw

Hi guys! So, if you have an android phone, remember to ALWAYS check your settings after each software update. They're turning on your AI setting against your will! They know you don't want them on and are pushing them against your will!

Recently changed my phone and AI is fucking everywhere. They're putting it in my calls, in my notes app, in my fucking keyboard. IN MY PHOTO GALLERY.

And if you think "Oh, but I never turned them on, I should be fine" they're on by default. They WANT YOU to use AI. Turn them all off.

If you have a fucked up sicknasty fanfic you've been thinking about sharing but are unsure, this post is your sign to run to AO3 and Just Do It: 1. Someone somewhere wants to read it. Even if it's only one person, that person matters

2. Your creativity matters and so does your ability to share it

3. Serial harassers in fandom spaces are beginning to express discomfort that sites like AO3 completely strip their ability to do anything about fic they don't like, sometimes going as far as leaving entire fandoms due to the influx of "problematic fiction without a chance for consequences to the author". Posting your fanworks to AO3 actively contributes to making harassers feel unsafe and powerless in fandom

4. Militant anti-fanfic content creators also cannot do anything about fic posted to AO3

5. You can post anonymously to AO3, with the ability to de-anonymize at any time

6. You can moderate comments before making them visible on your fic, restrict comments to logged-in users only, or turn off comments altogether, meaning you can post anonymously and completely turn off comments if you choose

[Video description: Gritty is turning the crank on a flagpole to raise the Progress Pride Flag. He gesticulates angrily that the flag is not blowing in the wind, then gestures offscreen. The flag begins blowing. As Gritty begins raising the flag more, the camera pans out to show a man in a suit and sunglasses, looking like a stern Secret Service agent, is holding a leafblower that points at the flag.

Figured it was about time to add my own contributions to the Y/N x DCA tag so uh - here, have a quetzalcoatl-styled Sealed God Eclipse!!

Not sure if I'll actually end up developing a full-on AU with the guy or not, BUT i CAN share what I've actually come up with so far, which boils down to:

Y/N = archeologist equivalent in a fantasy world, and Eclipse is a god who was sealed away in some temple that their team accidentally stumbles across.

Y/N accidentally UNSEALS Eclipse somehow, which results in basically their entire team dying and Y/N, not wanting to die too, starts sucking up to the (probably unstable) god in a desperate attempt to not get their heart torn out or something.

This somehow results in Eclipse latching onto them as HIS mortal. No, they don't get a choice in the matter. They're his now, that's just how it works. And since they're his, that means that they WILL help him return to full strength, right?

So now Y/N has been claimed by a possessive, clingy god (REALLY possessive and REALLY clingy) that they have to help rebuild a following in this new day and age or get smote or something.

Also said god takes a liiiiiiitle too much pleasure in manhandling them. Can gods get touch-starved? They're pretty sure this one is because he just can't keep his hands off them.

Which is a problem for both the obvious reasons and because Y/N categorically hates that they get flustered every time he manhandles them. (Look, he's very pretty, and they're only human, okay? It's totally reasonable!)

If I do end up developing more of this idea I'll tag the posts as "Sealed God AU" or something, idk

ALSO, close-up below because I like his pretty face and it'd be a shame if all the detail got lost by Tumblr. Enjoy!

A rough doodle of Prologue/Epilogue with @sun-e-chips 's Waterpark Moon :) Since i like drawing Prologue in the water i thought it would be funny for him to like swim up to Moon and Moon is all annoyed smiles JSHGKJSHGJ

Justice was served because Eclipse flustered y/n instead 👉👈

This is really funny on dark mode

[transfeminine-anarcho-post-egg]

On dark mode this is like a clown trying to hide behind a light pole.

no dude it's so cool how attached you are to that character who is singled out and ostracized due to the external monstrousness that clashes with their internal spark of humanity. and i love how drawn you are to themes of horror and love, nature versus nurture, otherness, isolation, and the abject. i bet you have normal feelings about your own personhood
