ok everybody saying dan fucks is conrad’s dad you do you but for ME personally the fix will always be conrad’s dad because dan gives cool uncle vibes 1000000% percent more than the fix ever will. but we will both live our truth and we will both be happy 🤝

...I know people in this day and age think any collaborative effort can fix things, often despite reality (ex. the MULTIPLE tumblr blackout protests over the last like 10 years across different owners of tumblr that didn’t change shit),
but I think going out of your way to buy things from tumblr en masse as a “well then they’ll be profitable and won’t have to change things to resemble profitable sites!” as if the CEO/higher ups are personally going to see this and not AT MOST just go “oh we made money, sick, Anyway.” is just. the most naive and frankly 5-year-old level of problem solving unrealistic idea if you think about it for more than 5 seconds. People are just so blinded by naive optimism it’s painful.
Staff isn’t going to see your purchases and go on a full redemption arc and restore porn in spite of payment systems’ massive stigma against it or Apple’s restrictions and never ever try to mimic Twitter or TikTok again, or whatever the fuck you’re expecting, they’ll keep focusing on shit tweaks that resemble other sites because those are what keep investors who think they know tech and user wants hooked and they think new people from other sites will come over for that instead of the fact these people are typically escaping those kinds of features.
Staff isn’t your friend, their vying for support like they’re your buddy who is hitting hard times and has been here holding your hand all these years is deliberate corporate marketing, they’re an arm of a corporation that spits in the face of LGBTQ+ people and especially black people for daring to post about themselves while touting themselves as The Queer Site! A diverse site! Look at this AMA we’re doing with someone about Black History Month! and you’re doing nobody a service when you’re unintentionally rewarding a service for getting worse because they will not know nor care about your motives, they just care that they got money and will continue making it worse regardless of you. They’re a corporation, not a small business ran by 10 people who are trying their best. People throwing money at Staff already encourages them, let alone when you buy into the weird parasocial shit they try with us which will continue as they see success with that method.
Like the mere idea of everyone buying the crabs to gift to make the site profitable is just unrealistic (especially in this economy with such terrible inflation and in NA there are issues with the weather and fires, on a site that mostly consists of groups of people who are typically low income or unable to work???), it feels very much like the gofundme pages people set up to raise money for celebrities who have debts who will be fine regardless and definitely don’t need your help. Corporations and CEOs are not your friends, they never will be. They do not care about you and they’re not some poor uwu victim of circumstance.
TL;DR half-assed blackouts aimed at companies that don’t care (that I have seen over and over) and “cr*b day” type efforts are incredibly dumb and will change nothing, and they will not change anything, just encourage them since they see they’re making money during their current marketing schemes, if they notice at all. You pitying them like they’re a poor innocent person is exactly what the corporation wants.
If you want to make a difference give that money to an artist or lgbtq+ people who basically get flagged as mature for Existing, or people who get their posts flagged for criticizing the site, or something, someone who gets screwed over by this site on the regular. It will do far more good than that whackadoo type pipe dream and sit down and think for a second, please.

so I wanted to say that since I'm really enjoying this event, I will likely continue to post about it, including analysis. I want to talk about the game mechanics and strategies but it's been so hard to do without people thinking you're talking about the discourse. I think as a community we all need to be a little less jumpy about this event, because I've seen posts of people being afraid to talk about the team their watching because they don't want to be dragged into discourse. I think a lot of genuinely lighthearted posts about a fun event are being misconstrued as something malicious
all of my posts are made with the spirit of friendly competition. a lot of other people are posting like this too! people should be able to do this without getting accused of hating ccs or being unfair
i've been posting a lot about red team, specifically because that's who i've been watching the most. i watch pretty much every english speaking qsmp member, it just so happens that right now i have a sub to foolish so i've been watching him so i don't have to deal with ads. because of this, i will probably continue to talk about red team the most. i'll talk about blue and green teams when i watch them! if i had the time to watch vods from every team and do a complete strategy analysis, i would. but I don't have that time. i genuinely don't care which team wins, but that doesn't mean I won't be rooting for certain teams on certain days. like on day 2, red team going from barely visible on the score bar to winning the day was an amazing underdog story! of course i'm going to root for them! and for day 3 I was rooting for green team because i want to see fitmc tryhard!
at the end of the day this is a fun event. it's fun for the ccs so it should be fun for the fandom. and if you're scrolling thru tags and getting upset/annoyed/angry at people posting about a friendly competition, you might need to reevaluate yourself

IDW1 must take place on an alternate Earth where no one has ever heard of ACAB and everyone wears "thin blue line" merchandise because there's literally no other way that a single Autobot killing a USAmerican cop in self defense would be such worldwide news that even Mexican journalists would go "OMG???? You like, killed a cop?!?!?!?!?!?!!?!?!?" and it wasn't even framed as like, "you killed a human," the phrasing every time any character talked about it was very specifically "he killed a cop".
The cop was also threatening to shoot a group of surrendering/not-attacking/injured Autobots btw which is just the icing on the cake honestly lmao
#yeah i still think about how that plot point's handling in phase 2 was fucking dumb#you can't convince me that if a usamerican cop got shot by an alien people wouldn't be making memes about it#ppl would be making memes like 'you know a pig is a pig because he'll even shoot alien robots when they're surrendering'#i'm also mad bc the gun that that cop had was a replica of cybertronian guns that meg spread among earth's populace#and what's worse is spike and this other guy literally HEARD M EXPLAIN HIS EVIL PLAN ABOUT THIS#but somehow in phase 2 literally no one ever brings it up ever again#like not even spike brings up the whole 'yeah M had mind controlling guns that he did specifically to destabilize the population'#he was just like 'nah that autobot shot a cop the autobots are evil now'#but like. i wanna make the earth ac/ab memes so badly lmao#you know that ppl would be making 'officer down' jokes about some cop getting killed by an alien robot#don't try to tell me that it's bc they're alien robots people would suddenly support the US#ppl literally make 9/11 jokes bc they hate the US that much don't even try to tell me earth would suddenly unite over a usamerican cop#getting shot on the job no less#and this is also a story written by barber who's literally the ac/ab writer that gave OP shit for being a cop so like#it's honestly so baffling. like was he trying to make a point about police brutality#bc jazz is black coded and he killed a cop so that's why barber wrote everyone hating jazz for it?#idek it's just another one of those stupid plot contrivances i hate and make me unable to take the rest of the story seriously

Twenty-Fourth Day of Gift-Giving: Touches
Prompt: Tracing the other’s lips with their finger
The last one! Thank you SO much for reading, I hope this little project brought you some joy these past weeks 💝 And if you missed some posts or couldn't keep up with my daily posting schedule, worry not! None of the stories are particularly festive (except maybe Day 12), so you can read them any time. All the stories can be found in this tag, and I'm thinking of posting them on AO3 as well 🎁
Tumblr media
~
As much as Aleksi hated early wake-up calls, this particular morning he hadn’t minded having to crawl out of bed at eight to take Rilla out; he had groaned when he had heard Rilla pawing the front door, but at least it offered Aleksi a chance to study Olli’s sleeping face before he’d wake up too. Although Aleksi’s eyelids still felt heavy and he probably would’ve fallen back to sleep in less than a minute if he had closed his eyes, the serenity on Olli’s face was far more captivating than anything Aleksi would ever see in his dreams.
Lone strands of curly hair had fallen on Olli’s eyes. Reluctant to wake the man up just yet, Aleksi defied the temptation to gently sweep it off. Maybe he also wanted to keep the slight worry on Olli’s face hidden so as to deceive himself into believing they’d have another full day together, the faint lines still visible on Olli’s forehead a reminder of their talks just before they had fallen asleep. Olli for one had not been able to conceal his grief about their parting when they had finally climbed to bed the previous night, and Aleksi had barely succeeded in kissing away his frown, troubled by the farewell to come just as much as Olli was. To know it would by no means be forever brought them some comfort at least; Aleksi was already looking forward to the video calls and the silly texts once Aleksi and Rilla would have settled down at home.
But it won’t be the same, Olli had said, and Aleksi knew that. There was little he could do about it, tough, little he could say to console Olli when he was hanging by a thin thread himself; one more look at Olli’s big, wet eyes and Aleksi would’ve been one phone call away from putting his Helsinki home up for sale, so he had seen it best to just kiss Olli again and tell him they’d figure it out, somehow.
They’d had to. They would. Aleksi was going to throw hands at the universe if they wouldn’t.
These thoughts from the night before consuming his mind, Aleksi had absentmindedly brought a finger to Olli’s lips and started tracing their shape. Over the past week, he had come to known them in every way he could think of, from having them move against his own or slide down his neck or close around his hard-on, so that it was now easy for him to retreat the memory of them, should he miss their softness and eagerness (and he would, no doubt, often and desperately, but it would be only one of the many things he’d be left craving for, once he’d be back in Helsinki). 
Aleksi didn’t realise Olli was awake until the lips under his finger curved into a faint smile. Seeing the reaction, he snuggled closer and brought his own lips to Olli’s ear. 
“Hi.” He left a soft kiss on Olli’s cheek and happily deepened it when Olli turned his head enough for Aleksi to catch his bottom lip in between his own. 
“Morning,” Olli replied. Other than that, he showed no intention to break off the kiss or to get out of bed any time soon, and Aleksi kissed him back as if he had nowhere to go that day either.
How he wished it was true. He wished it so much until a lump appeared in his throat.
“I think I’m gonna miss you too much,” he said into the kiss. It had been a long time coming, since the previous night at least, but he could no longer stop his eyes from welling with tears.
“Maybe you could get a refund for your tickets,” Olli said in turn, lips hungry for more kisses. “Tell them it’s an emergency and that you couldn’t possibly make it.”
Aleksi knew as well as Olli that wasn’t how it worked, but damn if Aleksi wasn’t ready to give it a try.
“What about my work? I have two production sessions scheduled for Monday alone.” It was impressive how they managed to hold an entire conversation in between all the desperate, hasty kisses that demanded to be given, as if their supply of kisses would overflow if they didn’t (it might, for all Aleksi knew, and he sure as well wasn’t going to risk it).
“Tell them you’re sorry.” [A kiss. Another. Another.] “Tell them you’re in bed with fever.” [A kiss. Another.] “Or just that you’re needed elsewhere.” [A quiet sob.] “Tell them… tell them I need you here.”
By then Aleksi was sniffing himself, but he wasn’t going to let any more hopeless sobs leave Olli’s mouth.
“Okay,” he said and kissed Olli until he stopped shedding tears (or maybe they just mixed with Aleksi’s own); until they both fell back to sleep.
~*~
I think I'm gonna miss you too much.
When Aleksi had said it, he really had meant every word, but five days after his return home, to his empty and sort of chilly apartment, he was pleased to have realised the longing had not consumed him completely during the week. Had his head been constantly absorbed in memories of his time with Olli, surviving all the Zoom meetings and email formalities would have likely been twice the uphill they were on a normal day. By all means, that was not to say Aleksi had not missed Olli; he had, incredibly so, especially when he climbed in his bed late at night and entertained himself with the idea of Olli being there waiting for him, possibly wiggling his eyebrows or just looking at him with an insane amount of affection in his eyes. Some days Aleksi wasn't sure if the sound that left his mouth whenever he thought about it resembled more a chuckle or a sob.
They had texted each other throughout the week, having (tearfully) agreed to give each other some space after the rather intense week they had had and decided they would, eventually, have time for sappy phonecalls (as well as for some spicy late-night FaceTime chats, Aleksi hoped). Come Friday, however, Aleksi dragged himself to his bedroom after another intense studio day and grabbed his phone.
"C'mere Rilla, let's ask how Olli's doing," he said to the dachshund, planting a kiss on her forehead as he helped her on the bed.
Aleksi closed his eyes while he waited for Olli to pick up the phone. He knew he had no reason to doubt if Olli would, but somehow he felt calmer listening to the dial tone like that.
"Hi," Olli's voice finally said. Its tone wrapped Aleksi in something warm and soft, like a blanket.
"Hi Olli."
"I was just thinking about you."
Aleksi slid down further on the bed, revelling in the warmth and softness of the voice on the other end of the line.
"Yeah?"
"Yeah."
"Well that's funny," Aleksi said, although speaking wasn’t an easy task with how much his lips were quivering (from smiling, but maybe also from something else). "Because I was just thinking about you. Hence I called."
"Glad you did. It's good to hear your voice."
Aleksi closed his eyes again and wished he knew a way to tell Olli just how much he loved hearing his voice as well; how he had missed its calming melody in the mornings as well as all the more impatient whimpers in the evenings; how much more quiet his life had been before they had let each other into their lives like this.
Trying hard to maintain a casual tone, Aleksi recalled the events of the past week.
"How was your week?" Aleksi was thankful for Olli being the one to continue the conversation, seeing Aleksi himself was but a few more seconds of expectant silence from starting to ramble on about how even a salmon fillet at his local supermarket had brought a smile to his face the other day without him noticing until Niko had pointed it out.
"An okay week, I'd say, overall. You?"
On the other end of the line, Olli suddenly moaned tiredly, probably stretching himself. Aleksi bit his lip and wondered if the man did it on purpose, just to test him.
"'Twas alright. Helped out Mikko and the boys with some studio stuff."
"Sounds cool."
"And I did some laundry too."
"Okay?" Aleksi chuckled.
"Yeah. Noticed my favourite grey hoodie's gone. D'you remember seeing it? I think you were the one using it last time."
"Ummmm..." Aleksi glanced down at himself, his grin widening. "I might be wearing it right now."
"Ha! I knew it!"
"I'm outraged, Aleksi," Olli sniffed, as if offended by this heartless betrayal. "Guess I'm gonna have to come down there to get it back."
"Yeah, I don't know, it must have ended up in my suitcase by accident." Cheeks full from the smile stuck on his lips, he put a hand inside the front pocket of said hoodie and snuggled to himself.
(If he did it just to imagine it was Olli cuddling up to him instead, who could've judged him for it?)
"Uh-huh? Guess you gotta."
Aleksi contemplated keeping any lovesick pleas to himself, until he remembered he'd no longer have to keep his heart so closed and protected.
Not from Olli.
"Like... I know you're away from home a lot during the year as it is, but... I always like it so much when you're here and I hope that... maybe this could be 'home' as well. One day."
The more seconds that passed waiting for Olli's reply, the more restless Aleksi grew under his blanket, almost shivering despite being tucked up to almost his chin.
"Yeah. I think it could be. One day," Olli said at last, his voice just barely louder than a whisper. "In fact... I quite like the sound of that."
Aleksi was prepared for a 'but' which never came. Instead, Olli dropped his next bomb, just in time for Aleksi to have blinked the tears from his eyes.
"So... what else are you wearing right now?"

several thoughts about the new years 2023 sketch that i CANNOT stop having:
he's getting hornier. he's been getting hornier on main the closer we get to the end of the series. everyone scroll his twitter back to 2021 and you will see there is an abrupt spike in horny art around august of that year. horny on main about literally all his own ocs and unapologetic about it
horikoshi has DEFINITELY been looking at all the bunnyboi deku fanart over the last 8 years
the previous two points lead me to conclude that the fandom has been picking up what he's putting down this whole time. shameless deku supremacy bunnyboi deku supremacy etc etc
also thinking maybe deku's steel toed thigh highs were an aesthetic choice and not entirely necessary for support reasons. thotty deku supremacy etc
hori really fleshes out his characters with these sketches it seems very clear to me that ochaco was bribed with free food for this event & kirishima didn't have to be bribed with ANYTHING he's just happy to be here, very on brand
thanks bud i WASNT thinking about their balls but NOW i am
that being said: release the balls cut horikoshi. i KNOW you have a secret balls-in drawing. im a 'do-it-for-the-bit' artist, i know theres a secret bit art folder i just KNOW it
and you KNOW he also did a bunnyboi katsuki sketch. hes a freaque he simply would not let that go undrawn
do you guys think katsuki feels left out. do you think he's mad he missed the memo. where are his eyes pointed, mirko? or ochaco? is he jealous. does he have fomo
katsuki adhd king
it is SO funny of hori to make mirko have to wear clothes while the rest of them wear her costume. so cruel. so inhumane. get dressed idiot
shouto said 👁️👄👁️ as usual absolute comedy king

no but actually, when I was like 16 I decided to get in deep with the cult, like fanatically deep. Donating my entire allowance and dedicating myself to biweekly bible study deep. Mainly because I had deluded myself into thinking that if only I could become a perfect jehovah’s witness, god would heal my crippling gender dysphoria by either taking pity on me and simply give me a dick and testosterone for the low price of my freedom and dignity, or alternatively taking it away all together and let me live my life blissfully as a cis woman for all eternity in paradise. The latter never sounded appealing to me, and I’m not going to pretend that the blatant sexism within the cult wasn’t a part of it at all, but even if you removed it, I still didn’t particularly care for having tits. I did realize that the former alternative probably wasn’t likely to happen in the end, and that’s probably one of the big reasons I never could admit to actually just being a guy, even though it was kinda obvious. Cause when you know you can’t ever have something, it’s easier to pretend you never wanted it in the first place, lol
#ex jw#isn't it funny that I even entertained the idea of fucking JEHOVAH giving me top surgery or some shit?#dude are you daft? the babykiller who hates the gays? You really think THAT GUY would support trans rights?#also. my OG mutuals probably remembers me sort of coming out as nonbinary back then‚ and i want you to know that I was not#practically everything I ever said about my gender back then wasn't real and I KNEW it wasn't real. I was just scared as fuck lol#cause I couldn't open that can of worms and then close it again. and like yeah. experimenting with gender can be great and important#but I wasn't experimenting‚ I knew it wasn't completely right from the moment I said it and idk. I want that out in the open I guess lol#funny thing is I kinda did that thing AGAIN not that far back when I was like oh yeah any pronouns goes :) oh no it's they/them achtually#oh now im he/they and oh I just want to define anything and blah blah blah#and I was sitting there and I just asked myself what the hell I was doing cause you're a grown ass man and you KNOW you're spewing bullshit#like i thought i would keep things ambigous but in hindsight. the url i had and having my other name in my bio was kinda stupid#in my defence i didn't think about my url and i still don't really mind my legal name so lol#but i realized i was just pussyfooting around everything and i'm tired of it so yeah!#anyway. look at me revealing my fucking lore here. i've gotten way off track and idk what i was trying to get to#if you read this far you get like. knowledge about me you probably didn't want#you're welcome i guess? idk lol#insert drive through meme or something

I am. Not dead. BUT will be gone for a like a day or few because the stuff at work did not! want! to! work!
Which I'd another way of saying that I finally was able to get free after working 34 consecutive hours in a row. The day prior I got 1 hour of sleep and that is all after 5 days of 10 or 11 hour work days.
I am so sleepy. I am taking tomorrow off and probably going to sleep right through it. Anywho cheers everyone!! I am going to go to the shadow realm now @:P
#syncrovoid.txt#delete later#maybe??#the one coworjer that has been helping as best he can is now calling me a cyborg haha! it is funny#but strange because before i was officially hired the supervisor (lead programmer) said i was#i was like a robot and if i had been perfect there'd be no difference#<- this was his notes when i finished my (payless) practicum there that lead to me being hired before graduating#ironically the new guy (hes been around half a year lol) was one of the only other people that graduated from my course#none of us ever met but it is cool!! and he did a lot to help out over this week of nonstop work#<- okay i KNOW someone will say “hey. you know you could have stopped right?”#but consider. i have very bad body awareness so i dont notice much impact from sleep deprivation and also i would feel so guilty @:(#and also consider!! i have either earned a hefty paycheck of the redt of the week off so like. capitalism yay?????#<- i do not support capitalism#ALSO sleep deprivation is SOOO silly because i get hyper! i feel like i get more and more energy and my brain doesnt stop thinking!#i have had a grand total of 3 hours of sleep in the past uhhh 4 days??#it is so silly!! but probably not good for me#but i CAN confirm to you that when websites say it takes 3 days of no sleep to start hallucinating they are exaggerating#it takes at least 5 or a week with only 1 or 2 hours sleep#even then it is so minor.#weirdest sleep deprivation hallucinations ive had was where every second time i blinked the world was overlayed with a different one#it has happened twice and it is literally and without exageration the STRANGEST feeling in the world. in the universe even#it is like you are flickering btween two realms that occupy the same physical space but from two different theoretical spaces#if that makes sense??#the first time it happened it was at a huge school sleep over and every few moments the gym full of sleeping bags and other peeps#would transform into all the chill monsters just living their life. like monsters in terms of not looking human nor like any earthly creatur#but not mentally monsters. it was like a towns square sort of thing? so they were rushing about and coming in and out the doors#second time it happened i was like 14 and in the back of an overstuffed car with a friend and their mom and we were in the middle of nowhere#forest for hours and hours longer still. slept on the side of the road lol. but it was like very so often huge huge giants would step over#the trees. all you could see was the somewhat woody-scaly texture of these massive massive poles or legs or whatever#slowly moving over the forest and walking around. looking up into the sky they just faded away too tall to see

You should rate horse isle 3, It’s fucking wild.
agreed. agreed. agreed.
first of all, i was only able to stomach about an hour of this game, and as such this review is really just my personal experience & missing most of the game!
this is what horse isle 1 looks like
Tumblr media
this is what horse isle 2 looks like
Tumblr media Tumblr media
this is horse isle 3.
Tumblr media
when i logged into horse isle 3 for the first time i was greeted with randomly dumped in some player built town with bad 8 bit music and traps set that punted my helpless virtual body into a sand flat with absolutely nothing there. just a low poly inescapable sand flat. i tried to ask for help in the global chat and was given instructions as to how to Start the Tutorial, as it doesn't start automatically and isn't super obvious, but then i couldn't say thank you because i had run out of the tokens needed to speak in global?? and then i got stuck in the tutorial because I needed to pick up a stick, and it was just infinite sand flat in every direction.
my goal was to find the trans train enthusiasts from the legends, but instead i got picked up by a town of middle aged moms who offered me free stuff. i accepted but then remembered the mission & also that i would likely not be playing much longer. then unaccepted. this was uncomfortable for everyone
the overworld reminds me of the low poly worlds game developers make when learning unity for the first time. not a horrible thing, but would be better if the gameplay were really good to make up for it or something. however i have no idea if the gameplay is really good! i never found any jumping competitions! i spent so little time online that my rental fully tacked horse never expired, but I did catch a few others and try riding them bareback and that is SLOW. traditional! i played horse isle 2 for a few minutes and it was just about as slow. i like the horse catching mechanic! it was fun getting the hang of it.
nothing is straightforward, so i had to google how you buy tack in this game. apparently you have to go to a player town and find a sign, click on it, and buy tack from there. but finding the sign was pretty rough for me. having only played an hour, every piece of furniture looked the same. i failed this mission.
i hear one of the main draws of this game is the silly horse breeding mechanics. i did not experience this firsthand, but ive seen some silly looking horses, so my complements do go there.
the soundtrack is pretty good! the badlands ost is groovy! the alpine ost is dramatic and ambient! black sands has a nice cello and some very dramatic drums! i'm listening to the ost here and it all seems pretty nice! a lot of this is perfect to study to! i'm jamming!
i rate this game 2 stars out of 5!
★★☆☆☆
the stars are for good soundtrack and big online open world! points deducted for the unwelcoming design, transphobia and homophobia of the developers & the drama about their rules and etc, and the fact that if you pet your horse they will make purring sounds!
next games to come will likely be 3ds games! feel free to submit horse games for me to try to '"'review'"' for funzies!
edit: here's part 2
