One of my favorite weekend activities is my Caturday morning cup of coffee and tumblr-scroll, punctuated by the occasional exclamation of cuteness, reblog, or showing-of-phone-to-partner. Your Caturday tradition is highly appreciated and valued around these parts. Thank you! :)

Your high appreciation is highly appreciated, and the Caturday tradition shows no sign of running out of reblog material... :->

Jesus, cousins just coming out of the woodwork around here! It only makes sense, but still, I’m laughing a little. Thank you, anon!

Now separated for ease of reading.

devieklutz: a really tough person with a big heart and a tremendous love for animals; owner of a really cute dog. We’ve never really spoken and Devie’s blog has been mostly inactive for the past year or so, so this one’s a little short, sorry – but Devie is a cherished part of the Young Wizards fandom and that is the case for a reason!

im-significant: hey! We play Dungeons and Dragons together sometimes, did you know? Hell yeah. Ana is very friendly! They are my partner in Lutheran politics discussions and tomato adoration. They have fingers in many, many different pies and enjoy sharing them with others, and they have a way of making even boring things like the weather or things I have absolutely no knowledge about like obscure anime enjoyable by dint of sheer enthusiasm. They have a great sense of aesthetic and – reader. Sometimes they enjoy my poetry so much they reblog it. Holy shit.

Here is my favorite story about Ana: when we were on the way to the OG CrossingsCon we had a brief, Ana-prompted “swordfight” with their cane and cousin Sky’s car keys (which had the little button you press to extend the actual metal key bit from the plastic). Ana was humming the Star Wars theme at the time, in homage to my fascination with the key-popping-out process and its similarity to a lightsaber.

Ana is also a con staff member, so a shout out and thanks to them!

punrisenebula, I cannot fucking believe. Bryton, come over here and look at this! Anon, you should be goddamn proud of yourself. Jesus Christ.

Bryton is in charge of puns, okay, and it is a power wielded well. Which is to say terribly. Which is to say well again. They (sorry, I’m not up to date on your pronouns) have always struck me as assured and steady: they seem know exactly what they believe in and why, and also seem to know exactly what they want from life. This is either a tremendous gift or a tremendous skill. (That’s no small beans, even if it’s not true – appearances are also part of the battle!) They also have a really gorgeous creative streak – they are both a good artist with a great eye for stylistic touches that make a piece pop, and a good storyteller – funny and good-humored, with a familiarity that draws the reader in and generates smiles.

geekhyena: Geekhyena is my other source for all things animal science, a role they also fill very well! They apply that same scientific approach to a variety of other things, as well – history, politics, art, nature, health, social justice matters, and more, so every time I see something she’s reblogged on my dash I know I’m in for new information, fascinatingly presented. It’s always a pleasure to learn from them. Alternatively, sometimes I know I’m in for some new good fanfic. There’s some great sideways Harry Potter stuff out there, and Geekhyena seems to have a good handle on it all.

And they’re another con staff member! Thanks for all you do!

Finally, pumpkin bread: 12/10, hell yeah? Hell yeah.

@sunrisenebula replied to your post “PEOPLE WANT TO FUCK THE MONKEY?”

I mean most of the winstzo shippers I see focus on the emotional connection of them but go ahead and blindly mock and ship hate I guess

sunrisenebula replied to your post “PEOPLE WANT TO FUCK THE MONKEY?”

I mean it's not like Winston is an actual sentient character with agency or anything, he's obviously just a big dumb monkey that has no personality or emotions

i. um. i really have no answer for this. like. ive seen a lot of fully sentient animal characters in fiction, or uplifted animals, and i can guarantee that i would find it weird if a human fucked any of them. im pro-winston as a character and think his development as a character is interesting and has a lot of room for pathos, like, lots to be said about his sense of isolation and about him trying to lead Overwatch when he’s not inclined to leadership, but there is no way you can seriously go ‘theres nothing weird about a dude and a gorilla banging’

if my distaste for shipping humans with talking animals is an issue for you feel free to go ahead and unfollow??? im. really not going to change my stance on this being Weird

[inkidink]

TBH you're pretty ridiculously awesome

Ahh thank you also the reason you were tagged in the other ask is bc I saw you had sent one and got it mixed up and tumblr mobile is awful at ask tags

@sunrisenebula replied to your post: Y’all know that post about how accommodations...

YES MY GOSH WHAT WOULD I DO WITHOUT SUBTITLES AND TRANSCRIPTS

I would just never watch videos again, like ever. I put the subtitles on pretty much everything I’m watching, even if I’m already giving it my full attention. It just helps to have that extra feedback.

Thanks for linking Diane's "Spot's Day." It's delightful and it's been far too long since I sat down and read it :)

I’d forgotten she had posted it until I went looking for a cover image and found the link to her Tumblr blog.

We both agree that while the missing-text error was annoying, there really is a “fill this in for yourself” Zen quality to it.

IMO that’s a compliment to her storytelling, since her script contained not just the dropped-out Spot monologue thought bubblesbut the panel descriptions of location / action / reaction which drove the silent-movie plot.

Even so, I’m glad the last thought survived... :-D
