Blue Hour

Drunk on sleep. Coffee, can't live with it, can't live without it. Why is consciousness so hard goddamn.

[uncanny8ellen]

I can't believe all my sideblogs are for simping. Eh. Might as well embrace my true nature.

In the Capcom universe, or should I say resident evil universe? One of my four OCs, Hunter, his love interest is Karl Heisenberg.

In the Supermassive Games universe, I started simping for the grumpy town sheriff, and I wondered. Then the epiphany.

What better way to stir the pot than pairing a cop, with a criminal.

My other OC code name Lumber, Hunter's older brother and a cheeky bastard. Ah yes, let's give the guy who's so done with life a raging flirt, I thought.

Even in this universe, Lumber's family is still the time-honoured monster hunters. Just as fucked, too. Guess some things never change even in an alternate universe.

In resi8 world, Hunter was the widower, with Lumber already having a fiancée.

In this story Lumber's the eligible Bachelor. Hunter's still a widower cuz I like to torture him.

Maybe if I start simping for other characters in the future my two other OCs will get to show their stories. *shrugs*

i'm begging you guys to start pirating shit from streaming platforms. there are so many websites where you can stream that shit for free, here's a quick HOW TO:

1) Search for: watch TITLE OF WORK free online

2) Scroll to the bottom of results. Click any of the "Complaint" links

3) You will be taken to a long list of links that were removed for copyright infringement. Use the 'find' function to search for the name of the show/movie you were originally searching for. You will get something like this (specifics removed because if you love an illegal streaming site you don't post its url on social media)

4) each of these links is to a website where you can stream shit for free. go to the individual websites and search for your show/movie. you might have to copy-paste a few before you find exactly what you're looking, but the whole process only takes a minute. the speed/quality is usually the same as on netflix/whatever, and they even have subtitles! (make sure to use an adblocker though, these sites are funded by annoying popups)

In conclusion, if you do this often enough you will start recognizing the most dependable websites, and you can just bookmark those instead. (note: this is completely separate from torrenting, which is also a beautiful thing but requires different software and a vpn)

you can also download the media in question (look for a "download" button built into the video window, or use a browser extension such as Video DownloadHelper.)

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

if the "Complaint" links are not visible for you:

Option 1: try the DuckDuckGo search engine instead (bonus: dedicated to privacy! doesn't track your data!)

Option 2: go directly to LumenDatabase.org (the website that collects the complaints--and therefore the removed links) and search for the title you want. look for results titled "DMCA (Copyright) Complaint to Google" featuring the media you're looking for. Proceed to Step 3 (above).

[awkwardinnocent]

personally, i'm a huge fan of r/FREEMEDIAHECKYEAH. they keep their links up to date and they also rank them, basically. they also have all kinds of little pages explaining how to safely pirate shit.

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

^^^^what they said. I'm surprised people are still reblogging this post now that google's flushed itself down the toilet. so here is your

2026 UPDATE:

just go to r/FreeMediaHeckYeah and r/Piracy. it's easier, more reliable, and will take care of all your piracy needs!

…so, I have three mortgage payments I need to make or I lose my house in January. They’re threatening foreclosure.

I have a suspended balance, with less than $100 needed to make a payment. I just have to call the bank on Monday to finish that payment.. I think?

I should be able to make another full payment next week on payday.

But I’m struggling and am not sure I’ll be able to make the last one on time, since I still have to pay bills.

I’m so fucking exhausted.

If you want to help:

Ko-Fi

Venmo

I’ll offer sketches if you want something in return.

Thanks.

[sgt-littledick]

The bank needs one more payment.

They’re being really weird about the suspended balance and honoring it.

I have to have it paid by this Thursday, January 8th. That is the final cut off date.

(Just as a note, each of my mortgage payments are roughly $1000 each.)

[uncanny8ellen]

Posting this on main too because tumblr ain't showing the previous one for whatever reason.

I usually never do this, but Hunter (their blog is -> sgt-littledick) needs your help. Any donation can help. Please help them. I'd give them more if I could, but I'm broke myself and couldn't contribute much.

Hunter works really hard and makes amazing artworks. They're having a bank-related issue right now and need help paying for the mortgage to keep their house.

You can visit their ko-fi page on their blog to donate, order commissions, or buy merch from their shop. They got Travis Hackett, Travis x Laura merchs from the quarry and Ghoul(Cooper howard) x Lucy Maclean merchs from the fallout tv series right now. They're all great works and I would've bought all of them if I could afford it, but based on some of them that I did purchase, I can vouch for their quality.

Please help Hunter out.

One of the coolest things to remember is that because prey animals have eyes on the side of their head, they can still see in front of them but they are focused on something when in profile!

[inusmasha]

Sometimes it’s hard to read fanfic when you’re studying herbalism.. when they have the character preparing a tincture to use that same DAY!!?

Baby those dried herbs need to sit in that jar with high proof alcohol for at LEAST a month!

That’s why before the use of calendars ppl use to prepare their tinctures either on the new moon or full moon. A a full moon cycle is usually 28 days or so. And they would give the moon names so it’s easier to remember when/what month said tincture was bottled.

This is also why herbal medicine is prepare in small batches. You have to take your time preparing your bottles. Making sure everything is clean so you don’t end up with mold. Diluting your grain alcohol. Heckkk knowing when to pick your herbs for max potency! Drying your herbs! That takes a lot of time too!

I didn’t mean to rant lol

5 Tiny Writing Tips That Aren’t Talked About Enough (but work for me)

These are some lowkey underrated tips I’ve seen floating around writing communities — the kind that don’t get flashy attention but seriously changed how I write.

1. Put “he/she/they” at the start of the sentence less often.

Try switching up your sentence rhythm. Instead of

“She walked to the window,”

try

“The window creaked open under her touch.”

Keeps it fresh and stops the paragraph from sounding like a checklist.

2. Don’t describe everything — describe what matters.

Instead of listing every detail in a room, pick 2–3 objects that say something.

“A half-drunk mug of tea and a knife on the table”

sets a way stronger tone than

“There was a wooden table, two chairs, and a shelf.”

3. Use beats instead of dialogue tags sometimes.

Instead of:

"I'm fine," she said.

Try:

"I'm fine." She wiped her hands on her skirt.

It helps shows emotion, and movement.

4. Write your first draft like no one will ever read it.

No pressure. No perfection. Just vibes. The point of draft one is to exist. Let it be messy and weird — future you will thank you for at least something to edit.

5. When stuck, ask: “What’s the most fun thing that could happen next?”

Not logical. Not realistic. FUN. It doesn’t have to stay — but chasing excitement can blast through writer’s block and give you ideas you actually want to write.

What’s a tip that unexpectedly helped with your writing? Let me know!! 🍒

Words to replace said, except this actually helps

I got pretty fed up with looking for words to replace said because they weren’t sorted in a way I could easily use/find them for the right time. So I did some myself.

Edit: People, I’m an English and creative writing double major in college; I understand that there’s nothing wrong with simply using “said.” This was just for fun, and it comes in handy when I need to add pizzazz. 

[fuckyeahcharacterdevelopment]

In addition to a little pizzazz in the dialogue tags, these are also super useful as part of the narration, or summing up/paraphrasing something that has been said, or even in a character’s dialogue as they describe how someone was talking!

Years ago I was listening to a Danish podcast with a guy who isn’t super bright but loves listening to people who are experts talk about their field.

In one episode he invited a former guest back who was a professor in microbiology because the host found out he was super interested in near death experiences in his free time.

It was a very interesting episode because it wasn’t his field but he had read every single study on the subject and listened to every story he could find and he approached it with the mind of a scientist. He desperately wanted to conduct his own studies but was well aware that he couldn’t go around almost-killing people in controlled environments so had considered almost-killing himself in a controlled environment over and over but was told that wouldn’t be legal either which was why he had settled for just collecting data.

They talked about what people say they experienced in cases where it could be proven that they actually died, usually on operation tables, and how they all say they felt a sense of wonderful oneness, like returning to the source, how all living things are connected and that they got the sense that we are here to learn, that you can’t waste your life because it’s all learning.

Then the host said “From what you’re saying I get the impression we are like feelers or tentacles from some creature on the other side who are poking us into this existence to experience it, like we are all limbs of the same creature who wants to learn as much as possible?”

And the other guy went “You know what? That sounds like a perfectly valid interpretation of the data. I love it!”

And the host continued “Maybe that’s why we created the internet? Because we long to connect and become one again but on this side our experiences are too different and it doesn’t really work when we don’t understand we’re all one? But we still have that longing?”

“My god man! You’re blowing my mind!”

That episode was just filled to the brim with inspiration for fictional stories of every genre.

[andorology]

brooding men who cannot communicate their feelings if their life depended on it are only hot when they're fictional. if i have to deal with one in real life i will curse him and pray for his downfall every night before i go to bed

[kestrel-tree]

It's because the writer communicates their feelings for them. If people wanna pull that off in real life they need to hire a guy to walk around behind them narrating.

[momo-de-avis]

I fucking hate James Tissot’s paintings because in ALL OF THEM there is ALWAYS someone staring right at you, but it’s not always immediately visible. You just feel watched by this mf. Sometimes the little shit is right there at the centre, but others the bastard is just gazing from the distance, it is CREEPY, my guys

[momo-de-avis]

STOP STARING AT ME, THIS IS DISCONCERTING AS FUCK

[filthybonnet]

I think this is hilarious. We’ve been caught.

[mothnem]

In James Tissot paintings, art observes you.

[disgruntledseagull]

I love this actually it really brings you into the scene. It denies you the psychological position of outside observer and makes you feel as if you were almost there.

[emmaubler]

Always reblog James Tissot

[writing-prompt-s]

It turns out when you die you don’t face your own God, but instead face the God of whomever or whatever killed you.

[the-shadows-request-candy-corn]

What would the god of disease be, I wonder? Beings so small as to not even have a brain, or only the simplest knot of neurons in the case of some parasites, or perhaps nothing more than a sack of proteins? For some they can eke out a meager existence on their lonesome, wriggling in the dirt and eating the refuse of dead things and their waste. For many, they cannot survive without a host. Virions lay dormant, as close to dead as an unliving object could be, unless they are moved by forces out of their control into a living vessel. Only when revived by the spark of their host’s life so they find their purpose and become viruses.

They comprehend nothing, and yet they react to stimuli. With a primitive chain reaction pathway of molecules and energy, they adapt unknowingly to their environment, building chemical weapons against their rivals and exchanging knowledge in the form of nucleic acids to their peers. There is some kind of blind idiot genius to their genes and legacy, to their ability to sense and react to what they cannot fathom simply from delicate receptors.

What makes a god? How does a group know their god? Is god a protector and giver of haven and prosperity? Is god a vengeful unknowable force, who can rain genocide and fury in indescribable ways for minor or unintended transgressions? Or, is god a part of us, as we are a part of them, a paradoxical existence of complex symbiotic relationships interwoven until the line between “I” and “them” are too blurred to see?

Could it be, that, to the myriad germs and diseases of the world, to the vibrant microcosmos living in each and every one of us, we are god? And if we are, would that be a good thing or a bad thing?
