Clearing out old posts in my project folder. I have a stack of lore doodles for my dream monster doll AU.
Picking up right where the first post left off, after Sapnap rescues Dream, he tries to tell Skeppy and BBH about him, but they don't believe him. It's just Sapnap's doll that he carries everywhere.
Tumblr media
Not knowing where the monster went, thinking it could maybe even be invisible, BBH and Skeppy are really worried about Sapnap's safety. Until the thing turns up again and they can get rid of it properly, BBH brings Sapnap to sleep in his room.
Dream can disguise as a doll, but he's still a living creature that needs to eat, so when Sapnap bring him to bed, he has to sneak out without waking up BBH.
Tumblr media
He wakes up Sapnap, who is not too keen on staying in bed.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Dream knows Sapnap isn't supposed to be up this late and, despite his struggling, takes him back to bed.
Tumblr media
But Sapnap makes a lot of noise during this, which wakes up BBH and alerts him to the fact that Sapnap is missing from his bed. Skeppy was awoken by the noises too and they both go to investigate the source of it. They find Dream carrying Sapnap and immediately start trying to figure out how to rescue Sapnap. Skeppy hits him as hard as he can with a wooden baseball bat, but the bat just breaks and Dream in unphased. Before they can think of anything else, Dream just approached BBH and gently offers Sapnap to him.
Tumblr media
He then returns to his toy form.
Tumblr media
So Skeppy and BBH are finally putting together that the toy and the monster really are the same, and maybe the monster is Sapnap's friend after all. But it's still clearly a REALLY dangerous creature and they don't know if they can trust it.
For now, BBH declares a truce between them and Dream on the condition that Dream sleep alone in Sapnap's room tonight so they can all get some sleep and talk about this situation properly in the morning.
Tumblr media
Dream agrees to these conditions.
Tumblr media
In the morning, Sapnap comes running excitedly to wake Dream, who is extremely groggy and still pretty hungry.
Tumblr media
Dream turns into his toy form so Sapnap has to carry him to the kitchen.
Tumblr media
At breakfast, while Dream and Sapnap are really excited they don't have to keep their secret anymore, Skeppy and BBH still really don't know how to feel about all this.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The only drawing I have concerning the family meeting is this one about Dream's lack of table manners.
Tumblr media
And then I have one last drawing where Dream learns about Sapnap's fire powers for the first time. It was from a later segment where BBH gives Sapnap some trash and tells him to take care of it. Dream follows Sapnap into this mysterious metal shed where the walls and floor are covered in soot. Dream is extremely uneasy. He thinks Sapnap is going to be irresponsibly playing with fire so he keeps trying to stop him. In the process Sapnap accidentally gets a papercut, and then deals with it by summoning a flame to cauterize the wound. Dream is eventually properly informed that Sapnap is a fireborn and that BBH and Skeppy regularly give him burnables to take to the shed to practice controlling his powers.

public libraries in the usa offering free digital library cards to people not in their areas (as of october 2023):
brooklyn (13-21yo us residents)
seattle (13-26yo us residents)
boston (13-26yo us residents, EDIT: just commonly banned books)
los angeles (13-18yo california residents)
san diego (12-26yo us residents, not the whole collection just commonly banned books)
these books unbanned cards (unless otherwise stated) get you access to each library's complete libby/cloud library collection, no hoopla/kanopy/physical copies included.
ebook collections are expensive to maintain (many american libraries have annual fees for non-residents because of this) but because of an uptick in book banning (particularly brutal in mississippi last summer) larger libraries have opened their doors more, which is very kind of them!
i've used my seattle card for the last several months and their libby collection has about three times the books that my local library does, which is wonderful for accessing more niche titles or skipping a waiting list. would love to hear of similar ebook initiatives internationally!
i use library extension (firefox/chrome/edge compatible) to check all my collections (+ the internet archive) at once, works for several different countries highly recommend it.
spotify seems to be offering 15hrs/month of audiobook listening to premium subscribers and while that does seem useful if you're already paying and are after a new release with a long library waitlist, libraries are better for everything else.

Israeli Parliament Set to Discuss Legalising ‘Death Penalty Law for Palestinian Prisoners’
look up the conviction rates for Palestinians
look up how many and for how long Palestinians are held without charges, without bail, without visitation or access to lawyers
this is absolutely a prelude to formalized mass execution of political prisoners

The world needs more Yue and Zuko friendship, I squeal just thinking abt the parallels. They deserve a life changing field trip together and if u have abt ideas I’m all ears 👀
Hiii anon this ask fermented in my inbox and in my brain for so long,, so take this??? Post canon yue lives/no war au arts?? Anyway aside from the Parallels and their political position & their duty before hoes grindset I think they could learn a lot from each other. With zuko learning the gift of patience & diplomacy from yue & Yue learning that allowing yourself to feel anger and speaking up can actually be Good.
Tumblr media
anyway hypothetical life changing trip outcome: zuko takes an intro gender studies class and yue says fuck
Tumblr media
(oh and also must not forget the crush on sokka)

Welp, guess this is our answer from Youtube when it comes to actually punishing SSSniperwolf for doxxing Jacksfilms: changing the rules suddenly so that they can protect SSSniperwolf.
Keep in mind, they were saying this shit prior:
Tumblr media
But because its SSSniperwolf, a money maker for them, they now suddenly are trying to claim it was off platform behavior and therefore, they can't do anything...ignoring they have dealt with Youtubers in the past for off-platform behavior in the process.
Fucking typical of Youtube to care more about money then the safety of their creators.

People joke about MCYT fans having 0 critical thinking skills but hearing Quackity talk about how people harassed the admin team for Jaiden leaving QSMP when she literally spent 30 minutes on stream explaining why she was leaving and expressing her thanks and appreciation for QSMP + the admins shows that it's not a matter of no reading comprehension or 0 critical thinking, some people are truly just plain stupid

I adore the way that Wolfwood loves Vash.
It's not senseless, unquestioning devotion. Wolfwood won't hesitate to call Vash an idiot when it's a fact, he's not gonna lie down and go along with what he disagrees with. But in all of his life, Wolfwood's barely had a shred of agency and choice. And it's reached the point that he hates it, is almost afraid of it in his spin-off chapter. But he saw Vash, in all his gentleness and kindness, in all his trauma and his hurt, and Wolfwood thought, that. That's what I want to follow. That's what I'll brave freedom for, no matter the cost. Because he's worth it. And even facing what seems to be the end of his life, even knowing that following Vash led him here, Wolfwood doesn't regret it.
You are not lost, Wolfwood.
