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.)

#for adblocking--ublock origin is my favorite but adblocker plus is also popular #also i once again highly recommend using firefox especially on mobile #to enable adblock on firefox mobile just click 3 dot menu > addons > addon manager > enable uBlockOrigin #that's for android i assume it's similar for iOS #update it is NOT similar for iOS bc Apple hates you. i'll write another post later #anyway. PLEASE USE AN ADBLOCK ALL THE TIME (except for specific websites you want to support) #your internet browsing experience will be so enormously improved #also on firefox if you want to get past a paywall click the 'Toggle reader view' button as soon as the page loads #(it's on the right of the taskbar. a little rectangle with horizontal lines) #works for most news sites by showing you the webpage text that is hidden under the 'you've run out of free articles' popup #doesn't work for everything but it's worth a shot

@broken-beak-flower-feast I believe it was you asking about the day Abram is finally introduced to Palmetto as the prince's fiance 💕 guess who's finally having some thoughts about that

(also you send so many wonderful asks that I can't keep up and hope to do them real justice 😭💕 thank you for each of them though I appreciate you so much)

#smh the last post was supposed to be saved to drafts #but tumblr sometimes likes to decide that the 'save' button is actually the 'post' button. #not my favorite little quirk on this site i will admit #whatever #its FINE #IM STILL WRITING #hmmmm i keep thinking about writing Abram in Evermore as well #hmmmmmmmmm #my writing #neil josten #andrew minyard #royal au #andreil

Introducing the Pi Day Cross-Stitch Connections! A series of 14 NYT-Connections-style puzzles themed around cross-stitch and sewing*!

I'll be posting a new puzzle once every day from March 1ˢᵗ to 14ᵗʰ. You can catch them here (and on Cohost!), and if you'd prefer to be emailed a puzzle every morning, you can sign up for that here.

Feel free to share these with friends who aren't on tumblr, too-- I'll be posting the puzzles on all the sites that I'm on, but I know a decent chunk of puzzle fans are busy leading more enlightened lives off of social media. ;)

*Why are the Pi Day puzzles cross-stitch-themed and not math, you ask? Because I felt like doing cross-stitch ones this year. But who knows? Maybe next year's puzzle set will be math-themed 🥧

#cross stitch #embroidery #connections #nyt connections #made by me #pi day puzzles 2024 #it's puzzle time 😎😎😎 #fun fact: on cohost the puzzles can be embedded into the posts themselves! #my favorite feature of the site so far #pi day puzzles

The Thief // Recovery

I was gonna save these to post when we got an official date for the final RvB season but who knows when that'll be so I'll throw them here now! I've never posted much cosplay on here but seeing as how my peak RvB days were on Tumblr it feels fitting that I post these here first :)

One of the main reasons I even got into RvB in the first place was because of @euniysu's art, and I fell in love with the Guns for Hire AU the second I saw it. These designs became instant dream cosplays of mine (honestly all of them did) and it feels fitting that ten years later just as the series is ending, I finally make them. It's also a way to celebrate 10 years since I found Rooster Teeth and fell in love with RvB (and saw these designs!). I'm so so happy I finally got to do these cosplays and I absolutely can't wait to wear them again (I'm York here but I made both cosplays and I'll be wearing Wash at the ren faire this weekend! It's time traveler's weekend and I think I'm funny lol). I don't know what it is about cosplaying York but i felt so Gender as him and am so glad everything came out well :)

A million thank yous to @magicalvoltage for indulging me with this shoot and @cloudcrouton for taking pictures <3 Can't believe I finally got to do these cosplays with friends, even if y'all aren't into the show :)

Also I saw that Syn is gonna adapt the GFH AU into an original webcomic and I absolutely can't wait to see it!! I still love seeing and supporting Syn's art and y'all should def keep an eye out for it too!

I'm already know for being very opinionated and having some Hot Takes, but I still usually keep it in line and fairly reasonable. Typical "Unpopular (but still somewhat safe to voice) Opinion" territory, where I might get some blocks and some scowls, but like, nothing major.

However I'm... gonna be posting an uncharacteristically rancid take this time.

I cannot fucking STAND vibes based design. Its become a trend lately to explain game systems by vibes, and it feels EXACTLY like the tropification of romance novels. A thing so many other people have complained about far more than I have, where so many works of fiction are now just being advertise as "Its a queer little slow burn, found family story that features enemies to lovers" OKAY, BUT WHATS THE FUCKING BOOK ABOUT?

And I feel like over the past 15-20 years, the TTRPG industry has been having the exact same issue. I can go through dozens of listings on itch.io for indie games and not see a single fucking game mechanic mentioned, and its frustrating. "This game is about gathering your friends to turn your local farm into a sustainable commune!" WHAT KIND OF FUCKING DICE DOES THE GAME USE? DOES THE GAME EVEN HAVE A GM?

And like, this isn't just about the feel good warm and fuzzy games. OSR is JUST as fucking guilty in this. "This game is a black metal death crawl through your worst nightmares." IS IT A RETROCLONE? IS IT A RULES LITE D6 SYSTEM? HOW THE FUCK DO I RESOLVE AN ACTION? DO ENEMIES USE STATBLOCKS?

If a video game showed absolutely no gameplay in any of its advertisements, only showing concept trailers and cutscenes and talking about its plot, you would probably shy away and think the game isn't worth playing if it can't even stand on the merits of its own gameplay. So why the fuck are we accepting that as the norm in TTRPGs?

#special shout out to Avery Alder #Avery I fucking love your games #The Quiet Year is one of my favorite games ever #its pretty much my go-to for any campaign of any kind to give players control over the worldbuilding pre-session 0 #BOB is so well designed and such a rad way to handle diceless/GM-less design #and I ABSOLUTE understand the need for queer designers like us to carve out a space and stand our ground #in a hobby that has historically housed people who want people like us dead in a ditch #but the idea that BOB can only support inherently queer/marginalized stories is ABSURD #and the way every BOB game advertises itself/is listed on your site makes me want to tear my skin off #please #you designed a game #AN INCREDIBLE ONE at that! #please please let it stand on the merits of its own design instead of just the vibe its built for #I was about to post this on my game design blog... #but I really dont have the heart to do that. This isn't actually about game design and the industry its just... personal frustration #and the fact that the thing that makes me autistic about games to the point to where I have spent like 25 years studying them #is just... no longer even the main focus it feels like

So, the drowning scene of tggth pt2...

I'm about to be so annoying about this whole sequence.

Here, when everyone starts kicking each other, Mac doesn't let go of Dennis and wraps his leg around him before their hands separate.

When Mac starts falling backwards, he tries to grab Dennis' arm so stabilize himself. We can see that Dennis doesn't push him off, despite the fact that he makes it harder to catch Dee, who already has the upper hand.

While Charlie is using Mac's head to resurface, Dennis watches Dee and Frank swim away and then quickly turns to the side and tries to grab Mac by his hand, which he doesn't (?) let him do.

Then we get this cursed shot of Dennis being basically glued to Mac's side, where Mac is swimming with his single free arm and isn't even trying to shake him off. Later we see what exactly clicked in Dennis' mind in the previous scene, where he came up with the idea of using Mac for the impact.

Bonus scene with him getting punched seconds after betrayal.

#in conclusion #they're gay for each other your honor #as if it wasn't obvious before #macdennis #iasip #iasip dennis #iasip mac #the gang goes to hell #my gifs #mac mcdonald #dennis reynoylds #does this count as meta #I bet there's an exactly the same post somewhere on this site #I'm like 7 years late to the party with this one #my favorite episode fyi
