the problem with tumblr spells is all of you lil sluts are casting and not giving it time to charge so you're all casting cantrips and not 9th level death spells. everyone wants to be the one to take them down no one wants to be the one who assists
hi desiblr! if i can have just two minutes of your time to hear me out on something that i feel is very dear to a lot of people on this website, that would be great.
i am a highschool student. ive struggled with school since i was eleven or twelve and was diagnosed with adhd and ocd in the december of 25'. as part of a school project, me and a couple of other students were told to pick a social issue close to our hearts and come up with innovative ways to solve it, we chose the many ways in which the indian school system is unequipped to deal with people with learning, neurodevelopmental, and mental health disorders/conditions. if you're like me, we could go back and forth on this for hours. but for just ten minutes i ask you to fill out this survey so that YOU can be part of guiding our efforts in the right direction.
if youre not indian (or have no experience with the indian education system) but would still like to support, please do NOT fill out the form as this will greatly skew our data which we have less than a week to compute. although i assure you if our initiative is recognized, it will be taken global, right to you. if you ARE indian (and have studied within our system), it's all the more important you use your voice to make a change and fill out our form. and in either scenario, reblog and share this post to your indian friends and mutuals so we can leave an impression of sizeable magnitude on the evaluators!!
your identities will remain completely anonymous.
edit: yes, indian neurotypicals can fill the form too!
link to the form: https://forms.gle/nti7XzfY8MMdHZyEA
Print the fics and maybe I'm just this old (I was born in the 1900's so maybe???) but get addresses and write letters to mutuals. Bring back waiting for fun things in the mail, small doodles on paper with notes. Just disconnect from the online for a little bit but still keep that connection.???
Hey if you See This can you reblog this or comment on this with a character you headcanon as aromantic, asexual, or both. It can be canon it can be founded on absolutely nothing I just need more aroace stuff on here #yay
Murderbot from Murderbot Diaries is aroace and it's kinda said in text in the books but if you want something more hint and wink/nudge then the show. But It has zero desire to even engage with sex or romance, or humans but It likes it's clients. Also Murderbot uses it/it's as pronouns, so extra 'spicey'.
Will warn if you do look into the Murderbot Diaries, it's sci-fi and kinda just gonna toss you in. But the rise is a 1000% worth!!
Share a link to your Art Fight profile here (your Team doesn't matter)
I'll look through all characters
On Wednesday (in two days), I'll do a stream on Twitch where I draw some of your characters, with each sketch taking about 20 minutes
Feel free to steal the idea or reblog for reach/reference
I do not expect anything in return, so please don't feel pressured if I end up sketching your character!
Please note that I will not take any direct requests and I will decide on the characters I want to draw!
I don't know the exact time frame for the stream yet, how long I will draw or how many characters I end up drawing. This is just meant as a fun activity for practice!
Lastly, please don't be upset if I don't end up drawing any of your characters or the sketch ends up rough/silly. 20 minutes ain't long to add polish after all, and I won't be able to draw every character I liked!
You know what I know I'm usually pretty silent but I need you all to understand the horrible impact SpaceX and Starship has had on South Texas.
Yes, fuck those ugly ass cyber trucks but FUCK that Space Center.
Starship genuine danger to the people who live here. It's to the point many of the people here when they heard the explosion joked that it was probably another one of Elon's rockets.
This is a horrifying pattern we are becoming numb to, we hear about a planned test launch and brace ourselves for more debris.
Several of Musk's attempts at rockets, especially after the deregulation, have resulted in catastrophic explosions. Want the list? Here are a few!!
December 9th, 2020- Starship serial No. 8, or SN8. Exploded upon landing.
February 2, 2021- Starship SN9. Exploded upon landing.
March 3rd. 2021- Starship SN10. Landed in one piece. Fire at the skirt caused an explosion.
April 20, 2023- Starship. Exploded once more. Debris scattered in Port Isabell.
March 6, 2025- Flight 8. Spun out of control and exploded in a mass of fireballs. Planes had to be grounded due to the mass explosion and the debris are stills scattered in the ocean.
And now we have the most recent and the worse one yet.
June 18-19, 2025- Starship 36 during a GROUND test caused a mass explosion, the looming mushroom cloud causing locals in Cameron to believed they had been bombed.
The loser describes this it as a "rapid unscheduled disassembly" instead of what they are: fiery failures locals have to deal with as a result.
Pretty much everyone locally knows Elon Musk and his negative impact on our home, people who have had the unfortunate curse to have worked with him and the center call it Cultish, 8 members of his staff who spoke out against his behavior and sexual harassment were all fired.
Its a well known fact he hates the people here, and he goes out of his way to find employees who are not from this area and move them down here.
Musk has tried to encourage even more white people to come down to South Texas and live in his "Starship City". An attempt to gentrify and push out local citizens.
Rebekah Hinojosa, a local Activist with Another Gulf Is Possible, even had her home unlawfully entered by police after an alleged graffiti on a mural he commisioned (which didn't even obscure the mural).
This article is a good read on everything Musk has done to South Texas
One day last month, Juan Mancias, the chief of the Carrizo Comecrudo tribe of Texas, and two companions headed to Boca Chica village, a bays
I am TIRED of this going unnoticed and unheard of the People of The Valley. I need you to stop laughing and start taking this seriously.
If you want to read more on all the insane shit this man has done to South Texas here are a few more Articles I would Recommend

I always think of the description I saw years ago: Self-imposed deadlines don't help me, because I know the person who set them, and they're full of shit.
Give yourself the treat before you start. I'm serious. And ideally during the task and afterwards too.
Executive dysfunction comes from a lack of available dopamine. Common advice is wrong. You need to provide your own dopamine before you can start. Otherwise you're trying to run your car on empty.
"But what if I still don't do it" well you already weren't getting it done anyway. Now you have a little treat. Try again later.
You deserve kindness and care even when you aren't being productive.

do yāall remember before direct messages tumblr had a dumbass ask limit of 10 per hour and communication was impossible until they introduced dumbass fan mail and we were basically sending telegraphs back in forth trying to communicate those wereā¦dark times
Do y'all remember when they finally gave us direct messages and instead of doing it normally, they gave it to a few people at a time and we had to infect each other with it like a virus
remember when any post with more than like 6 people talking was unreadably smushed except for the last few additions remember when any post of over 500 characters became a link back to opās blog readmore style remember when video and audio posts had about a 10% chance of working when you click play
the oldest reblogs for this post that i can find are from january 2nd of 2013. this can has been getting kicked around tumblr for almost 13Ā½ years now
okay, but not enough people know the details on this. people at pride were upset about gay rights in australia. so they decided to sail 200 miles into the coral sea just ācause and put a rainbow flag on a fucking empty island out of spite. and iām talking empty. no inhabitants. zero. it was a flat piece of land with a bit of dry grass. now it has a camp site and a post office.Ā
they have a declaration of independence that talks a bit about gay rights and then just flat out copies the ālife liberty and the pursuit of happinessā part from the american declaration of independence. and hereās the best part: the founding group actually elected their emperor. he was originally going to be called the āadministratorā of a republic. their website, however, says that āupon legal advice, his title was changed to that of Sovereign on the grounds that under Australian law a defacto prince trying to claim his crown cannot be charged with treasonā. so they made it a kingdom and he nowĀ claims to be a descendent of edward ii.
everything about this is glorious and everyone should know about it.
Highlights from the timeline via wikipedia as this thread is from 2017:
As previously mentioned, the idea originated at Pride (Brisbane 2003) in reaction to punitive anti-marriage legislation
āOn the 14th day of June 2004, at this highest point in the Coral Sea, Emperor Dale Parker Anderson raised the gay rainbow flag and claimed the islands of the Coral Sea in his name as homeland for the gay and lesbian peoples of the world. God Save our King!ā
The campsite/capital Heaven was named after the London nightclub
War was declared on Australia in September 2004
The aforementioned stamps were issued in July 2006 āwith the aim of creating a high and distinctive reputation amongst the philatelic fraternityā
They were never recognized legally/internationally as a micronation (and in fact Anderson refused to attend a conference in 2010 because they werenāt actually trying to be a sovereign nation)
In Feb 2017, Abetz was objecting to the flag of a āhostile nationā being flown
The Gay and Lesbian Kingdom of the Coral Sea Islands was dissolved in November 2017 (when same-sex marriage was legalized)
The above is a video shared by smrchildsadness on Twitter, showing a person participating in a pride parade exchanging a pride flag with a person standing on his (am using his pronoun based on the TikToks/Tweets of what happened) doorway who had a Portuguese flag. There are sounds of cheers and crying and the two people hug each other as they exchange the flags. The man at the doorway then waved kisses to the crowd within the pride parade.
The Tweet says: "NO YOU DONT UNDERSTAND HE WAS WAVING THE PORTUGUESE FLAG BECAUSE HE DIDN'T HAVE A PRIDE FLAG AND THEY TRADED FLAGS AND HE'S SO EMOTIONAL TO GET HIS OWN PRIDE FLAG I'M EMOTIONALLY RUINED"
For context, apparently they were worried that maybe he's a nationalist because he was waving the Portuguese flag and some nationalists opposing the pride march were waving that flag. But upon interacting with him, it turns out he didn't have have a pride flag and he wanted to wave *a* flag in support of the pride march. So they had an exchange and now he has his own pride flag šš„¹.
The image above is a Tweet by kunwara_ladkaa that says "I'm crying so much right now (Image taken by Manuel Fernando AraĆŗjo/Lusa)". The image shows the same man from the pride parade crying as he hugs his new pride flag.
The above image is a Tweet by dudz_zZzz that says "ainda nĆ£o parei de pensar nele," which according to Google translate from Portuguese to English is "I still haven't stopped thinking about him." The image is a drawing of the person from the pride parade, crying as he hugs his new pride flag.
His name is AntĆ³nio Fernandes, and you can find the original article where he spoke about this event here
This elderly gentleman lives alone in Porto, when he saw the march coming up his street all he knew was he wanted to participate, so he ran home to get the only flag he had to wave as they passed by, when they did he was overcome with emotion and called over one of the activists, they hugged and exchanged flags, he felt so overwhelmed that he could only hold it and cry.
This isn't a story about a closeted elderly man, AntĆ³nio lives and has been living alone for many years now and that little moment made him feel included in something for the first time in many years.
Says the article:
"The act was "of supportā, guarantees the man, especially becauseĀ āeach one is as they are and we are all the sameā. āThe joy I felt at this moment. I cried,ā he recalled, still emotional when looking at the photograph offered to him during this report.
However, even though it reached thousands of people, the moment screams a feeling of belonging, of joy and also a portrait of loneliness as a consequence of aging.
Behind that door, whose image spread across the country, AntĆ³nio is the portrait of a condition that affects many others like him.Ā He lives alone, but the walls of his home are full of memories of a life shared and full of love. āMemories I preserve,ā he stresses.
He's not gay, nor does he need to be to support and respect the cause.
āWe all have the same color blood. We are all the same.ā
Still with an emotional look glued to the photograph that immortalized his gesture at the march, AntĆ³nio remembers: āI felt embraced by all of themā. After a sigh, he says: āSee this photo? I want to take it to my coffin.ā
Recently, I was standing outside my sonās classroom waiting to talk to his teacher. I stood on one side of the hallway, not even close to the center. At some point, a man came walking along. I was standing right in his path, but the hallway was empty, so I logically expected him to swerve around me. Instead he kept walking right toward me, got to me, and stopped, as if waiting for me to get out of his way. I didnāt; I just smiled politely at him. He finally walked around me, clearly annoyed that I hadnāt leapt out of his manly path.
Now Iām wishing Iād leapt aside, taken off my jacket and laid it on the floor before him, then bowed deeply and said, āMy Liege!ā
I also work at a college campus. I smack shoulders sometimes, but I find that if I stare straight ahead and follow the advice below, people get the heck out of the way.
Honestly this post changed how I carry myself when walking alone in public, or in a situation where Iām the one leading. People definitely move for the murder gaze.
Confirmed. I once had to rush back inside a convention hall as the con was closing in order to a retrieve a sick friendās medication, and I didnāt understand why people in the crowd were jumping out of my way (literallyāone guy vaulted a table) until I realized I was dressed as the Winter Soldier and doing the Murder Walk because thatās just how I walk in those boots. I got the meds, got out, and made a mental note.
I repeated the experiment later, wearing the boots but otherwise my usual clothing and mimicking the expression I thought Iād had at that moment. People parted like I was Charlton Heston.
I now wear that style of boots whenever possible. I recently had a man do a double-take as I walked by and ask me, politely, where I had served because I ālooked like a soldier.ā Iām not current or former military. I was wearing a flowy purple peasant top and looked as un-soldierlike as possible.
Moral of the story: wear comfortable shoes, square your shoulders, and walk like youāve been sent to murder Captain America.
ITāS BACK!!!!!! I was searching for this to show my daughter the other day and couldnāt find it. Iām so glad ITāS BACK!! I will always reblog the Murder Strut!!
In case you were wondering, yes you can do this in a wheelchair. Same look in your eyes and let āem know you will run them down. Just picture yourself in a sports car accelerating towards someone with the intention of flattening them.
If thereās anything more satisfying than watching Abled men leap out of my way when they realize Iām not moving for them, I canāt think of it atm.
