Frank Burns and Arnold Rimmer are basically the same person in slightly different fonts.

One is serif and the other is sans serif.

Everyone knows about Hawkeye's disappearing mother and sister, but how many people clocked Margaret's miraculously revived dad?

[tofuingho]

My mom's dumbass dog somehow managed to cut open his leg while laying on my floor last night.

I woke up to a puddle of blood and absolutely no idea how he hurt himself.

I had to film a teaching demo video in my bedroom and my house doesn't have overhead lights so this was my lighting setup.

(This is specifically related to a conversation I had recently)

I need people to understand that while it is absolutely possible for a person to live to be 100, I won't be.

I am 35 years old. I will likely not be making it to 70 years old.

This is my middle age.

I actually do think we should discourage women from becoming housewives. Do not become financially dependent on a man. That's how a lot of women ended up dead over the years. A man gets violent suddenly and you have to choose between homelessness or potentially dying at his hand because you have an enormous gap in your resume and no degrees or certifications or anything that will help you pursue a career that will allow you to be financially independent. He owns your bank account. His name is probably the one on the car. Try and leave and he can report it stolen. Where will you go then?

Don't become a housewife.

[ladyfoxfire]

And if you do become a housewife, take steps to protect yourself. Make sure you’re legally married, for starters; stay-at-home girlfriends have very little legal recourse to claim their partner’s assets in a breakup. Make sure your name is on the house deed/rental agreement, and have your car in your name, even if your spouse is paying for it. Have your spouse transfer money every month into an account solely in your name, so you can buy yourself things without needing permission, but also so you can save up to leave if needed.

If your spouse fights you on any of this, then don’t quit your job. The tradwife to poverty pipeline is real, and so is financial abuse.

[dressedupliketheking]

also, many women/people experience controlling behaviour and domestic violence from their partner for the first time during pregnancy. don’t risk thinking “he’s just stressed, it’ll get better when the baby comes” because it won’t. neither you and your child will ever be safe with that man. get out as early and safely as you can

A good friend of mine married a pastor. She birthed, raised, and home schooled his SEVEN children. SEVEN. CHILDREN. They both agreed that she should do that, they both agreed that homeschooling was the best thing for their family, they both agreed to all of this.

She spent over 30 years doing this. For 30 years she didn’t work outside the home. She didn’t know the terms of their lease. She didn’t have the passwords to “their” bank account(s), “their” assets.

He left her when she was in her fifties.

He said that he needed time to reflect and moved out of their house, but told her to focus on getting their last kid through high school (still homeschooled!) and he would take care of everything.

She reached out to the landlord months later asking where the lease renewal was only to find out it wasn’t getting renewed. Because her husband hadn’t paid the rent in OVER NINE MONTHS. The whole time he was promising her he was still taking care of her.

She and her sixteen year old youngest son found out they had to move out of their house with 3 weeks’ notice. She didn’t have a job or work experience or a degree or any idea how to get these things in 3 weeks. She didn’t own her own car. If she had not had friends to take her in, she and her son would have been literally out on the street.

It ruined that friendship, too. It’s a lot to ask someone to put you up indefinitely while you try to put your life together. She burned a lot of bridges taking what anyone would or could give because she had no other choice.

She did, eventually, hard years later, get on her feet again. But it will always be hard and she will never be where she could have been in life if she’d done things differently.

You might be very sure of your marriage. You might be very sure of your husband. He might love you now, and be a good man now, but the rest of your life will hopefully be a long, long time. People change. It CAN happen to you.

Weirdly, this shit is the real reason jewelry is a traditional gift for women.

Having jewelry guarantees that you'll have something easily hidden that you sell/trade should you be turned out.

Doing tedious bullshit really does calm me down.

I've spent the last two days cleaning up my ebook and fanfic libraries on Calibre, and then sideloading them onto my Kindle.

(Btw, if you use Calibre for your fanfic library, I really recommend Kiwidude's cover generator plugin. You can set images as the background and someone made an AO3 template you can use to quickly generate covers. It comes in different colors, too.)

I have a Meet interview from 5:50-6:00, a bacon cheeseburger, and Markiplier's Iron Lung playthrough queued up.

I'm going to try not to bomb my interview, and then kick back and relax.

[tofuingho]

So here's the thing about me: I'm an introvert. I can go days without talking to people. But when I get nervous, the verbal diarrhea starts.

PSA to fan creators who don't have a lot of regular contact with children: They are almost always bigger than you think. A 1-year-old baby may already be walking. A toddler is likely already hip-high. A 10-year-old may already be taller than at least one of their parents. A 14/15 year old may already have reached their adult height.

Here's the link. It was actually not immediately easy to find, so I thought this might help.

I have a cousin who's tiny. Like 4'9" or 4'10". By the time her daughter was 2, the kid was around 3 feet tall and it was genuinely funny watching my cousin try to lift a kid that was 2/3rds her size.

[tofuingho]

I wish that read along books for adults was a thing.

The only thing I miss from TikTok are those Reddit drama videos where some voice-over reads the story while the words scroll on the screen.

It genuinely helped me focus on the story.

Playing Minecraft with mods is fun until you spend 20 minutes waiting for 2 kinds of chickens to bang and make a new kind of chicken, so that you can take that chicken and make it bang a different kind of chicken and make yet another kind of chicken.

(resource chickens are cool as a concept, but monumentally annoying in practice)

It's time for a Tianlang Jun wakes up in his younger self AU.

I was thinking about when exactly he's reborn... And I think I know my preferred time.

Tianlang Jun's sister throws a fit when he barges in to one of her orgies but he just literally stands on her until she tells him where she left the baby.

When he helps his nephew take human form this time he looks to be about 10.

Tianlang Jun hugs his little snephew and then takes his shoulders and tells him, "Your name is Zhuzhi Lang. You're my nephew, and you are never ever allowed to die for me, do you understand?"

He gets a bewildered little nod from Zhuzhi, that's all he needs. It's as good as a promise.

...After that he has to sit and think. About what exactly to do next. He has some time, most of the key players aren't even born yet.

He decides to go about this from multiple angles.

First, his favorite step, he abducts the Old Palace Master at the earliest opportunity and kills him, leaving his corpse abandoned in the wild. (Huan Hua Palace never finds out what happened to him, his seconds manage the palace in his place and the disorganization and infighting keeps Huan Hua Palace a lesser great sect.)

Next, he runs into a monk on the road. Wu Chen is enamored with little Zhuzhi and the three of them have a fascinating conversation... And Demon Emperor Tianlang Jun receives an invite to visit Zua Hua Monastery. He's sure to make regular visits.

He has some time to wait now so he takes things easy. He isn't watching Huan Huan Palace that closely, really he isn't, but he is able to intercept the lost baby ice demon before the humans find him.

Mobei Jun is not pleased when Tianlang Jun visits with his own son in tow but really, if he's not going to watch his children more closely TLJ doesn't see why he shouldn't steal them. He's got a past history of it! (Gestures at Zhuzhi Lang) It's a fun hobby!

He nearly misses the next step in his plan, this is admittedly the part he knows the least about. He finds the boy who will be the next Sect Leader of Cang Qiong Mountain Sect trying to break into a manor house and after scaring him senseless is able to get the whole dramatic story from him.

So he a Zhuzhi Lang terrify the Qiu family long enough for Yue Qi to steal his Xiao Jiu away. (Tianlang Jun recognizes the boy as soon as he sees him. Hello Shen Qingqiu, good to see you again.)

They escort the boys to the mountain too, just to be safe.

After that he waits, and waits and doesn't check who Huan Hua 's head disciple is... And after that very important date passes he resigns himself to this new future. He knew his meddling would change some things, he can live with this.

Years pass, he keeps up with his cultivator friends and does emperor stuff. His sister doesn't die, which is a pleasant surprise. Her 50s seem to mellow her out and she starts making an earnest effort to know her son. Poor Zhuzhi is torn before TLJ tells him that he is not betraying his uncle by having a relationship with his mother.

Now Shen Qingqiu and Yue Qingyuan start a very dramatic public relationship, so really it's a good thing there won't be a Luo Binghe in this world. The poor boy would be heartbroken.

He's not heartbroken by the way. He's fine! Totally fine! And he sticks to that story right up until he gets into a fight at a human bar, and takes a rogue cultivator's spiritual energy infused fist to the face.

He lays there on the floor until she comes over to nudge him with her foot.

"I didn't hit you THAT hard did I?" she asks.

She is still so so beautiful. He's missed her so much.

"Alas," he says. "I am incapacitated... Now my attacker can drag me off and have her way with me!"

And to think he had nearly forgotten the way she smiles with her eyes.

"Not interested."

"Oh please? Am I not handsome enough for you?"

Their daughter is born two years later, and TLJ is sure this means there will never be a Luo Binghe...

So you can imagine his shock twelve years later when their second child, a boy, is born and TLJ recognizes the baby staring up at him.

"Ah, hello Binghe."

"Oh that's a nice name, I like it." Demon Empress Su Xiyan says.

He's a little worried the next time they go to visit Cang Qiong Mountain Sect - but then Shen Qingqiu introduces them to his own new baby, only a few months older than Binghe. Shen Yuan and Su Binghe are utterly enamored with each other though. Hopefully that means everything will work out alright... He gets to actually make sure it does this time.

I've never seen a fic where TLJ gets to be a regressor! *~Delish~*
