The world exists in such a baffling state of simultaneous sex-aversion and sex-hegemony. Every social platform on the internet is trying to banish sex workers to the shadow realm but I can't post a tweet without at least two bots replying P U S S Y I N B I O. People are self-censoring sex to seggs and $3× but every other ad you see is still filled with half-naked women. Rightwingers want queer people arrested for so much as existing in the same postal code as a child and are also drumming up a moral panic about how teenage boys aren't getting laid enough. I feel like I'm losing my mind.

There are SO many cool interactions and lore things we can look forward to now that Rubius says he'll come back to QSMP (not only as an angel / demon, but potentially as a human too!), but that little detail reminded me of something:
Even though q!Vegetta and q!Rubius were mutually interested in each other wayyyy back in the beginning of the series, as an Angel / Demon, Rubius said he can't have relationships with humans because it's against the rules.
But a bit ago on stream, Rubius said that he's thinking about having a "human" side so he can build and do more things on the server as a regular player. I'm excited because this means he can have more casual interactions with people and we can see him interacting with his friends more (and he can experience The Horrors), but also...
I think we're in for some very interesting drama in the next few weeks.*
* ( Assuming Rubius doesn't get harassed off the server by toxic shippers and weird fans of the Eggs again. Please be nice to Rubius and welcome him back kindly, he's a very cool guy and his character is SO interesting )

this is a super messy edit, but here's a rough redesign of zinnia for my tower tycoon / older zinnia au! after zinnia's adventures in pasio & anabel's disappearance, she takes her place as hoenn's resident tower tycoon.
a more detail explanation of the au's setup is under the cut. ⤵
zinnia ends up traveling to pasio around a year after the events of oras + the delta episode in search of a new purpose, becoming known as a mysterious trainer that's a fierce opponent in battle. after forming a sync pair with rayquaza and saving pasio from a meteor, word of her heroics and strength as a trainer began to spread far and wide. eventually, this information made its way back to scott, who was at a loss thanks to the disappearance of the battle tower's frontier brain. he quickly contacted noland and lucy, asking them to recruit zinnia for the position. the two were reluctant to go along with the idea at first, ( replacing anabel would be a tall order for anyone and they had heard the rumors surrounding zinnia's recent past in hoenn, ) but she decided to give it a shot. testing trainers' abilities in battle with rayquaza by her side did sound like a blast, returning home as a celebrated trainer didn't sound too bad either. so, once again, she awaits in one of hoenn's lofty towers — not awaiting for her destiny, but for any trainers who think they're able to best her in battle.

listen. i simply think people really need to educate themselves on the hallmarks of antisemitism and not just leave it to jews to get all the backlash for pointing it out because it’s incredibly insidious and even more dangerous when left to fester

Twst OC Bio: Xenio Wormwood
Yeah idk if anyone here cares but I suddenly got an idea for an oc on the bus ride home the other day and I've quickly grown attached to this character so I want to talk about him! This post is super long but whatever.
Basics:
Name: Xenio Wormwood
Birthday: October 1st (Libra)
Age: 18
Dorm: Pomefiore (formerly Ignihyde)
Unique Magic: I don't have a name for it yet, but it casts lightning bolts
Dominant Hand: Left
Homeland: Island of Woe
School:
Grade: 3rd year
Club: Science
Best Subject: Potionology
Preferences:
Hobbies: Collecting
Pet Peeves: Being told what to do in flight class

Talent: Hosting guests
Nicknames: Magpie, Fée Verte (from Rook)
Misc:
Species: Harpy
Based On: The vultures from the Evil Queen's death scene
Likes: Stealing small objects, trying new foods, fashion
Dislikes: Not fitting in, disrespectful guests
Pronouns: Any (but is mostly called 'he' because NRC is an all boy school)
Orientation: Aroace
Hair: Brown, waist length
Eyes: Green
Rambling:
So he ended up having far more Greek inspiration than I originally planned. Whoops. My thought process was if I was gonna make this character a harpy, then I wanted some connections to Greek mythology. His name comes from the word xenia, an ancient Greek concept of hospitality. It's also a reference to Zeus as he was sometimes called Zeus Xenios due to his role as a protector of strangers. I also went with the Zeus reference because I wanted to give him lightning magic. The nickname from Rook comes from a drink called absinthe, which has wormwood as an ingredient. It was called "the green fairy" in various literature. He's frequently called Magpie because of his stealing collecting random objects, mostly shiny ones.

I don't like that the first sign that we need to sleep is usually just a horrible uneasy feeling that we can easily mistake for our anxiety being triggered by something or there being something else wrong, and by the time we experience something we actually register as the kind of tiredness where we need to sleep instead of just being worn out and feeling shitty, we're usually so tired we probably won't manage to get ready for bed properly and that feeling seems to come on very suddenly and then we're fucked
