#a little psa i guess

[annwayne]

From someone who's almost always writing and has done plenty of editing work on their own stuff and other people's stuff, I am here to tell you, fellow writers; You will never catch all your typos and grammar mistakes in your own writing.

#its just the way it is #I mean there's real brain reasons this happens #you know the words too well #so your brain fixes the visual mistakes so they are virtually invisible to you #kinda cool as hell #but also very annoying as a writer #just #a little psa i guess #go forth and write and know this is a natural process #ive found typos in my professor's emails and published papers before #humans be human #writing #writing things

so was anyone going to tell me not to watch all the way through the credits sequence on season 3 because they include very specific credits for things from future episodes or was I supposed to simply get spoiled for 2 things myself 🥲

#im a LITTLE bit annoyed but this is mostly a psa for anyone else who hasn’t binged the entire thing already #don’t look at the credits…definitely don’t look at the later episode synopses #finding out that ​the ideal hilda s3 experience is to click the netflix icon and close ur eyes til u hear the intro music start #ok BUT is it just me that’s confused by them often crediting actors that weren’t In That Episode #the funniest example is the witch ep in s2 where. gerda. of all characters gets a main chars credit and kaisa who the episode is about #is still lost over there in additional voices obscurity #‘additional voices’ it’s HER EPISODE 😭 #that was a tangent. anyway #my fault for trying to find more of my coworkers in the credits. victim of my own hubris and so on #anyway the spoiler thing is fiiiine. it just would’ve been cool as a surprise I guess 🥲

I actually don’t mind if you repost my art, especially with credit or links. BUT I still encourage everyone to be mindful that not all artists feel this way, and I think it’s best to go by their wishes for the ways they like their work to be seen! I used to feel a little more prickly about it, but in my years away from this blog, my profile has kinda been raised to the extent that I’m pretty easy to Google. Additionally, when someone steals or knocks off my professional work for their own profit, my publisher deals with it (there are so many knock-off Star Spinner Tarot decks out there, it’s astonishing). So for me, personally, I can be very Meh, Whatever about it when it comes to my own work. But properly crediting the work of artists–especially newer artists who maybe haven’t been published yet and are in the process of building their portfolios–is incredibly helpful! It helps editors and collaborators find their work, and sometimes artists prefer to know that their work is being shared in channels where they have agency over monitoring its social media footprint.

TL;DR you can repost my work for personal use or enjoyment or whatever, I don’t care; HOWEVER please do be mindful that other artists will feel differently about how their work is reposted, and please follow their lead when it comes to their own work.

#psa i guess #sorry for all these little cartoon posts #god immediately coming back to tumblr makes me so long-winded #I apparently really miss being able to write long posts

i don't know if people who haven't read the kickstarter update are aware of this, but the (double-length) pilot episode of the magnus protocol will be made available to kickstarter backers and rusty quill patrons in october, while the public release (which will then be followed by regular weekly episodes) won't be until january 2024. so if you haven't backed the kickstarter and don't support rusty quill on patreon, but you do want to listen to the pilot ahead of time, it might be a good idea to become a rusty quill patron in october! (you can always cancel afterwards, if you want.) the digital premiere will be available at the knights and nobles tiers, which start at £4.50 a month according to their website.

Another thing kind of in a similar vein to that last post: I really can't stress enough that if you are the cool family member that hangs out with the kids, don't ever stop doing that, even as they get older. I feel like for a lot of people it's really easy to bond with little kids cause well they're little kids! they think just about anything you could do is cool! and it's maybe a little easier to keep them entertained with simple games. But then as they start getting older like 8, 10, 12, etc, people tend to draw back more and not interact as much, which is absolutely the worst thing to do honestly. Kids at that age Are getting more self aware and maybe a little more self conscious and they Are trying to figure out their place in the world so maybe they don't play all the exact same games they used to, but I bet they still loving playing games!! And given the chance, I bet they would love the fact that they get to play with YOU, their old friend, even more. You might have to work a little bit harder to get them to warm up to you again at first, especially if they don't get to see you very often, but once you get past that they're gonna fall into the same habits around you that they always have and honestly, it's gonna be such a relief for THEM that they are able to act that way with you. You end up being something they can count on, a constant even as they change and grow and an opportunity to let loose a bit as they settle into themselves as people. And if you keep that up alllllll throughout their childhood and alllllll throughout their time as teens, you're gonna end up with a really great relationship that will probably last for the rest of your lives. So yeah, keep being there for all the kids in your life, especially the ones in the awkward phases!!! It may be years down the line, but they'll thank you for it one day, and I promise you'll both cherish that time forever and forever

#I'm speaking as someone on both sides of the equation so i really do promise that all of this is absolutely true #i was lucky enough to have quite a few people in my family who did this for me. uncles and cousins and other family friends #and honestly i don't know who i would be without them today. they helped me out so much and those relationships really define me now #and now that I'm older I'm trying to pass that forward to all my younger cousins #making sure like they feel they can always come to me and hanging out with them every chance i get #and encouraging them!! a lot!!! #and as they start to get older i hope they feel like they can keep relying on me #because i will always be there if they ever want to play a game :) #i. do not know what to tag this as hwkdhskdjs #just my little psa i guess

on the topic of the touchscreens-for-heavy-machinery trend: i have one of those touch controlled stovetops. not technically a touchscreen, i know, but it is completely buttonless. and it's the dumbest thing ever. it's easy to clean and that's literally the only advantage.

first of all, the "buttons" are way too close to the part that gets hot, and since its all one single slab of glass you regularly have to touch hot buttons if you want to turn down the heat 😐

second of all, it is completely unintuitive. turning the heat up or down quickly is literally impossible. instead of just turning a knob you have to *beep* unlock the controls, then *beep* select the right ✨cooking zone✨, then *beep beep beep* tap the plus or minus and *beep* lock it again so it doesn't do anything you don't want it to do.

which brings me to my third and most important point 🤓 THE TOUCH CONTROLS CAN BE ACTIVATED BY LITERALLY ANYTHING. i cant even tell you how many times ive turned the stove off WHILE COOKING because a drop of water touched the power button. for some reason the lock button only locks the plus/minus buttons, not the power button. and yes, anything you put on the stove when it's off can potentially TURN IT ON. the other day i dropped a bag of sliced bread on there and it registered as a long press, unlocked the controls, and the thing turned on 🌝 thankfully i heard the beep but if i hadn't, it could've started a fire. just this morning the same thing happened with a fucking carrot 🥕

#& #also those black glass stovetops only look good for a few months #but if you use them regularly they WILL get scuffed and scratched #there are cleaning products that can can make them look a little better #but at the end of the day it is glass #anyway. why am i talking about my appliances again? #oh right. death by fire #well im moving out next month #but as a psa i guess: dont get a buttonless stove

what kind of person scours the internet to make a youtube compilation of trains hitting cars crossing railroad tracks and what kind of person thinks its worthwhile to take over twenty minutes to show people dying in the exact same way over and over during drivers ed

#showing a bunch of railroad crossing psa's is whatever but why this #why does she have this video saved #she showed the video at the expense of the drunk driving lesson she literally didnt have time to finish the powerpoint because she #took a little detour to show us the video #like official psa and drivers ed stuff might be gruesome to drive in the point i guess but there was no point to show a video some #rando on youtube just made?

[Y'all need to start telling me who you're leaving these roses for, 'cause I am not as smart as some of my muses and I really don't wanna just leave the recipients for these to RNGesus the way I usually do non-specified memes XD]

[deathfavor]

I'm going to be honest. everything's kind of a disaster right now real life wise and going to get worse this weekend on, so I'm just apologizing in advance if i might seem quiet or not as enthusiastic or a bit off or anything like that. I'll do my best to not let it effect anything here (outside of maybe posting more or a little less depending how im doing each day) but, i promise its nothing here or any of you, i love and adore all of you and being here brings me great joy. I just wanted to give a little heads up

#i guess its a little mini psa #but pls know i love all of you #whether we talk or not or write or not #and i always want my blog to be a welcoming space #so really try to keep it separate but #also just an fyi sort of thing bc i dont always notice it #anYWAYS thats all just wanted to say something so ppl dont worry #᛭ — [OOC] angst is the game and tears are the currency

[the-whispers-of-death]

There will be no joy!

Android reader who is constantly reminded that he's not human

Android reader having a particularly bad day and tearing into his "flesh" in a state of instability

it hurts but only for a second, his nerves are only synthetic skin deep and it only further drives in the truth that he's not human

The liquid that flows in his body isn't blood

It's not red but a mixture of cobalt blue and glowing azure

He's then reminded that his body isn't really a body

It's a machine

Stone brain thinks with chemical markers and hormones

He software runs on code

He can't even cry as an emotional reaction

He can only cry when there is something clouding his vision

So he screams

Quick question anon, are you okay?

Also another question, no judgement here, are you the anon who sent an ask weeks ago about Vampire King!Reader crying over the fact that he'd one day outlive Kali and Stone?

#tyler's asks #tyler's inbox #tyler answers asks #answering asks #asks #I know angst is like a popular thing in fanficition & people love it #but I don't do angst very often #and like this ask & the vampire king!reader ask gives me vibes that make me uncomfy #like the vampire king!reader ask was literally like “Aww so cute that you and anon are doing cute vampire asks” #and then the ask proceeded to be rather detailed with the angst #and so quick note to anyone: if you're going to request angst please don't be so detailed about the emotions you want to be conveyed #like I can't deal with such detailed angst #not unless I'm the one writing it #just a little PSA I guess #not here to really judge people with this #:)

Only on here very sporadically these days. Going through some stuff, and Tumblr has become a chore to keep up with -.-;

I'm not leaving or anything, and I'll check in now and then, but...yeah. That's where I'm at right now.

#hopefully i'll feel better soon but i'm just So Tired atm #and this site just isn't the fun place it once was to me. at least not right now #just a little psa i guess #delete later

i realize i have a handful of mutuals i have not reached out to yet and it's a real struggle because i haven't had the energy to, and i hate to reach out only for the convo to fall flat because i simply don't have the energy.

i do always follow with the intention to write together though, so i encourage those i haven't interacted with that if you see a meme call or a starter call out there from me,or an open that interests you, don't hesitate to like it / interact! i know i say that i'm plot centric but, that's not something that has to happen right off the bat in order to have interactions. i'm a low activity blog , so i am not always on the dash and miss quite a lot, but when i do catch them, i'll make sure to reciprocate by sending a meme or liking any of your calls.

#i guess just a little psa ! #i was going to do a blog clean up #but i realize its also on my end that i havent been reaching out #im realizing more these days how introverted i have become #over the years and that bleeds into online interactions as well #tbd

they should invent a parent that you can trust and rely on

#i had health insurance through my job that i used last year but then my mom got a new husband and his insurance is really good #my mom was like “oh you should cancel your insurance through your work and we can use his and you wont have to pay anything” #i was a little wary because i do not like relying on her for important things. she has a history of letting me down #so im a control freak about things like this and dont want important things like insurance to be anyones responsibility except my own #but shes been better since she went to rehab so i was like “sure i will trust her with this and cancel my health insurance through my job” #because i didnt want to pay for it anyways #and guess what???? #i tried to get my covid vaccine the other day and was told that i didnt have coverage :) #called my mom and apparently she didnt set things up correctly so currently i have no health insurance :) #which is just awesome :) #she says shes figuring it out and now i literally have no choice but to hope that she will :) #hope it's figured out before i run out of my adhd meds LOL #anyways this is a psa - if your parents consistently have let you down in the past then just dont rely on them #i feel so fucking stupid #brenna speaks #vent post

Realizing that I didn't evaluate my feelings all the way and because of that I wasn't able to express them completely, or my wants. And now I have to try to not be disappointed tomorrow

#i didnt want to think about it #primarily because my initial reaction (and thoughts still) were 'dont be greedy' #so i simply tried not to think about it. or at least when i did i was thinking of it through that mindset #but i really do wish my husband had. for our first christmas as a married couple. taken some time to THINK about what i would like andgetit #like he is an excellent gift giver. he buys me stuff all the time #but i do not want a steam game as my first christmas present from him #he has given me excellent presents in the past year #so i guess its all a little hurtful that for christmas he has just been floating different (on sale( video games past me #because like yea i would love some certain video games. like the new sims expansion #but also. not for christmas. i know we are nerds and had a nerd wedding. but hell. he buys me mtg cards randomly with more thought than that #psa to NOT buy your new wife steam games for christmas #it isnt particularly because i wouldnt like the games he has been floating by me. its just that maybe im materialistic or smth but #i want to PHYSICALLY open a gift from my husband #delete later
