Nook of The Orion Scribe

Welcome! Just a Gravity Falls fanfic writer (he/him|18+|🇸🇬|Christian) who loves other cartoons such as Amphibia, The Owl House, Avatar, Star Wars, DuckTales 2017 etc... Here I will reblog stuff I like, alongside promoting my own stories or writing essays. If you just came here, feel free to like and reblog! The banner art is by Ellenmak, a truly delightful artist to work with. I support a Free and Independent Palestine 🇵🇸 in peaceful coexistence with the State of Israel 🇮🇱.

✨️Me around tumblr✨️

Hello there! You can call me Kang. So this is my main where I will reblog almost anything that's my interest (see the description).

However, if you wish to check out more specific stuff and updates, I have a couple of sideblogs you might want to check out:

@the-orion-chronicles for updates of my fics part of my next-gen continuity: The Orion Chronicles

@asktheoriontriplets where you can ask my OC triplets anything, whether you need cooking tips or recommendations for the latest games.

However, for ask games and stuff, feel free to continue dropping asks on my personal blog!

Thank you all, and have a good day!

Kang

Fanfiction PSA:

[watcherscrown]

the past tense of lead is led

[prismatic-bell]

"Rouge" goes on your face as makeup. A "rogue" is a D&D class, or someone doing something they shouldn't.

"Where" is a place, like where you are. "Were" is the past tense of "to be," like you were reading this list. "We're" is the contraction of "we are."

"Their" is a thing or concept belonging to a person, like their book or their justified anger. "There" is a place.

"To" is a conjunction, or a word used to make other words work. For example, you don't "go the store," you go to the store. "Too" is either an intensifier indicating an excess of something (like "too dark," "too cold," "too long"), or a word meaning "also" (like "I want to go, too"). They are not interchangeable.

--"a couple" is explicitly two. "A few" is three to five (unless you're using it for comedic effect, like describing a horde of ten thousand orcs as "a few").

And finally, a few that don't get discussed all that much these days but they'll make me very happy if you know them:

--"less" is for abstract, "fewer" is for concrete. I get less and less happy when I have fewer and fewer books.

--"can" is for ability, "may" is for permission, and the two have mostly become synonymous BUT if you're writing an old or uptight character, or a period piece, that change is recent enough you should still do it the "right" way.

--"lay" and "lie" are not actually supposed to be interchangeable. Even Merriam-Webster will tell you the rule here is bullshit (or as they more politely put it, "lay and lie have been tripping up English speakers for 700 years"), but if you want to know how to do it to at least try to make your grammar checker stop having a seizure, "lay" is transitive and "lie" is intransitive. In other words, "lay" is when action is happening and "lie" is when it's not. A sleeping dog lies because it's not going anywhere, but you're laying the table for dinner because you're actively putting things on it to lie--ha!--flat. The trick I learned in college was "we laid him to rest, and there he lies."

[the-orion-scribe]

"lesser" means inferior quality, not the equivalent of "fewer"

An IRL friend of mine told me that my blog needs to have one aesthetic and needs to be about one thing.

This person will be found mysteriously dead within 48 hours.

Notes:

Second poll will remain open until 50 years from publishing

Bot options share a UUID, making a vote for either count for both

Previously, a vote in the first poll counted for both options in the second

A vote for the second poll increases the vote count for both polls, despite the first ostensibly being closed

What the fuck does the back end of this website look like

Say you'll stay with me blogging until the horse poll closes

“but what if you abort the baby who’ll cure cancer?!” sir the baby who will cure cancer is an organic chemistry major who works at a Home Depot because you use AI to go through your resumes

[brinnanza]

one person does not cure cancer. teams of scientists who rely on funding from the government cure cancer. one person's singular novel ingenuity is not what is stopping us from curing cancer; fucking CAPITALISM IS.

[Image ID: A post on I believe blue sky by Heather hogan at heather hogan. The post reads:

'Older lady peeped the rainbow flag on my bike, asked in a thick Russian accent "It's your Pride?" She told me her youngest grandchild is "not she berry or he berry but no berry." I said "Nonbinary?" She got so excited. Yes! Yes! And "Is a secret but they are my" *looks around, whispers* "favorite."

There's a reply by Lyric Rain at rain song dot cloud that reads "Not she berry or he berry but no berry".

proud victim of the tumblr accent. it's fading out of public consciousness as the tik tok accent takes precedence; a linguistic evolution that makes the tumblr accent 85% funnier to unsuspecting civilians. it's like releasing a disease on a non-inoculated population. coughing baby versus hydrogen bomb.

I'm instituting a new policy of "if I can't easily read your crusty scanned PDF then I'm sending it back to you, telling you to get your shit together and save your .docx as .pdf, and causing snakes to manifest inside your house"

[christaaah]

this but also if you are in accounting and you have an Excel file please do not save it as a PDF or take a screenshot of it and then paste it into another Excel file

[biglawbear]

I take it back whatever you have going on is way worse than what I was dealing with holy shit

@thesummoningdark hello?????

[thesummoningdark]

yeah no this is a real thing an actual human being said to me

Good afternoon to everyone in the notes having a horrible time! Y'all are fighting demons I never knew existed!! I think every person that makes you do stupid time wasting shit like this because they refuse to learn basic computer literacy should be fired!!
