Aracnist's UDIMO

There's not many conversations about it and what people mostly chalk their UDIMO (animal/item suitcase form) up to is that it represents the arcanist as a person. Like symbolism to their personality.

But I also like how it also reflect how they're raised and what their upbringing is like.

The main ones being people raised under the Foundation, or taken it at a young impressionable age, are all dog UDIMOs. Sonetto, Horrorpedia, Medicine Pocket. Arcanists that are likely taken in by the Foundation before their arcanum has fully manifested. They're all dog UDIMOs so far. (It could as be a jab at Pavlov reference to having experimented on mainly dogs, which is fucked up) And even arcanists like X is a lil lab rat UDIMO.

I find it fascinating that UDIMO has so much more symbolism to them than just their nature as a person, but also reflects their upbringing and overall viewed by a greater narrative.

Quick & Easy Way to Back-Up AO3 Fics in Bulk

It's always a good idea to back-up your fics periodically just in case your favorite fanfic site goes down. That goes for fics you wrote or your favorites to read (because we all know the pain of a fic we loved getting deleted right out from under us).

Here's a quick and easy way to do it!

Grab the AO3 eBook Download Helper bookmarklet.

(If you're not used to using a bookmarklet it's a link you drag to your browser's bookmark bar that executes an action once pressed. Better than an extension or script bc nothing's actually running so it won't slow down your browser!)

Once you've got the bookmarklet set up, you're ready to back-up your fics!

To download your favorites by other people, navigate to your AO3 bookmarks and press the bookmarklet. It'll give you a pop-up with a quick list of easy download links for all your favs! Download and enjoy forever mwahaha!

To back-up your own fics, head to your Works page and hit the bookmarklet for an easy list of the download links for all your own fics. Download to back-up to your local device!

A voila! You've now got your fics and favs downloaded to back-up using the means of your choosing!

There's only one downside to using this method: it can only do one page at a time. So if you have multiple pages of bookmarks or fics, you'll need to repeat this process for each page.

Note: You can also do this with someone else's bookmarks (as long as they are public) or author page which is great for when you discover your new favorite writer and want to load everything they've ever written or recommended directly into your veins (and by veins I mean eReader).

the thing is that childhood doesn't just end when you turn 18 or when you turn 21. it's going to end dozens of times over. your childhood pet will die. actors you loved in movies you watched as a kid will die. your grandparents will die, and then your parents will die. it's going to end dozens and dozens of times and all you can do is let it. all you can do is stand in the middle of the grocery store and stare at freezers full of microwave pizza because you've suddenly been seized by the memory of what it felt like to have a pizza party on the last day of school before summer break. which is another ending in and of itself

Speaking of different body shapes. These are all basically all peak human bodies. 

How come 99% of them don’t conform to what the entertainment industry tells us is the perfect body?

EDIT: I’ve been informed that these images and more can be found in this book: ATHLETE by Howard Schatz  http://www.amazon.com/Athlete-Howard-Schatz/dp/0060195533/

“Oh boo hoo you shouldn’t ask your friends for favors we’re all adults”

I just spent three hours pulling up carpet and staples for a friend’s home renovation and we all did nothing but chat and joke and have wonderful conversation the whole time.

Helping somebody move or renovate or giving them a ride to the airport is functionally the same as going mini-golfing or playing a board game: it’s an activity that you do that is made more fun by having good company, and which provides something to talk about when the conversation lulls.

[durnesque-esque]

What is the point of having friends if they are not people you can ask for favors?

How the hell are you supposed to function in life if not a part of a caring and aiding community? I give my friend a ride to the airport. They help me move into a new apartment. We go to the movies a week later. Favors are a part of friendship, community, and society.

Please tell me this is not a real discourse people are having in the world - that you shouldn't be asking your friends for favors!

A lot of people have talked about Benoit Blanc’s accent. Was he always going to sound like that, was that in the original script?
