happy pride month!

Hi, I'm August!

[thispersonishuman]

Hi, I'm mostly going by August rn, but feel free to call me Alyx as well, and I'm a uni student (going into my 2nd year as of (editing) this post)! I'm aroace and genderqueer. Use they/them pronouns for me.

My ao3 is archiveofourown.org/users/thispersonishuman, and my tapas is tapas.io/thispersonishuman. Also add me on chess.com or lichess, just dm (or send an ask) for those usernames!

(All my original works will be on my tapas acc, and any fanfics will be posted to my ao3, although I will do my best to put any writing and art on my tumblr.)

I made my profile picture using: https://picrew.me/image_maker/626197

Btw for curly Binghe lovers, he would most likely be using either fermented rice water or a small (and I mean very small) amount of rice flour mixed with water in his hair. The rice proteins help strengthen the individual hairs as well as hold curls together. Fermented rice water can have an unpleasant smell tho, so orange peels are sometimes added. For hair oil he would probably just add it to his ends since it can weigh down curls. Curly hair is naturally dryer than straight hair, so he would still need to use some.

[red-garden]

Differences between fermented water vs rice flour:

In my experience they work basically the same, and I personally prefer flour mixed with water for smell reasons and because it’s less storage. People claim fermented has better hair health benefits, which I believe is down to it becoming slightly acidic. If you’re washing your hair with hard water, acids can break down some of the mineral buildup and make your hair softer.

[red-garden]

Highly recommend doing this irl for your hair too. I don’t know about the hair/scalp health of it all, but rice water is genuinely the best curly hair product I’ve ever used. I have loose coils (not my picture but for reference)

That got fried off my head when I was bleaching any dying and thoroughly neglecting my curl patter, and I’ve been recovering them since. Like rice water genuinely works better for me than the majority of off the shelf curly styling products, not to mention how much cheaper it is.

one thing is the Shang Qinghua's disciples or Shen Qingqiu or the demons in the north palace know that Mobei Jun is trying to wife up very unaware Shang Qinghua

BUT THE MOMENT WHEN THE MASTERS OF COMMUNICATION AKA YUE QINGYUAN AND LIU QINGQE BEGIN TO SEE THIS, AND SHANG QINGHUA STILL DOESN'T EVEN CONSIDER THIS POSSIBILITY, YOU KNOW THAT SOMETHING WENT WRONG

Shang Qinghua dressed in his finest tailor-made robes in the Mobei clan color, adorned with jewelry, and has the second most powerful at his beck and call : ...why are you all looking at me like that.

yue qingyuan:...I think I'll send a letter with colodens to the north.

i love that we say “xyz character / writer / film etc, invented Love when” but in reality i think maybe everyone everywhere (re)invents love every day and every hour over and over and over again and sometimes it’s as simple as a glass of water, as simple as brushing lint off a shoulder, as simple as “this made me think of you”

[soracities]

when you remember this, and hold onto this, and after the love is gone you bring these things to someone else, you stitch an old action to a new one and you set off a thread that keeps on going. and someone will inherit that stitch from you (a lover, a friend, a stranger at a bus stop) and remember it and stitch it onwards in turn. and so it goes and so it goes. and that is love.

the trolley problem except the guy tied to one set of tracks is your friend and someone you trust and one of the few people in the world that you genuinely like and he's begging for his life and he's saying that you're murdering him and he's screaming and clawing and running like a wild animal. on the other set of tracks is every living thing on the planet. its a no brainer, obviously. but he will still scream. this happened to my good friend eva stratt

[elf-kid2]

And she is tied to the tracks, too. She is the only one who can reach the lever. They decided that she would HAVE to be the only one who can reach the lever.

Is That Allowed

[sabrebash]

Boy am i glad that the con has a facebook page so i can post this photo:

[theragamuffininitiative]

tumblr users being generally knowledgeable about phishing attempts and scams and yet not hesitating to click various links from unknown users because they say such things as "spin the wheel to determine your alvin and the chipmunks band persona based on my favorite italian desserts" and we go "heck yeah."

[mysteryteacup]

To be fair, almost no scammers are crazy enough to go for that tactic

[crabussy]

made a post about how I'm relieved and excited to be alive in 2026 and how I'm glad I exist in a time where music and education and communication are so expansive and accessible and said post wasn't even up for a single hour before someone started declaring that actually there are evil revolting breaches of human rights happening right now. not even an hour

[shallowsenjoyer]

im so mad i cant find it anymore but heres my recreation

this is kind of beautiful. I reckon we should all fabricate tweets from faint half-remembrances and letter them by hand instead of using screenshots
