@ the anon asking about whether a specific blogger is reliable:

I completely understand the question. But in general I don't answer things that involve someone who is currently active online, unless they are a present danger to people in the community. By present danger I mean the last time I stuck my nose in was with someone who was abusing several people in the DID community and bragging about it while also sharing peoples' private information to others. This has to do with several factors: 1) as a brown person I get much more frequently called aggressive for even mild disputes, which has happened multiple times for stuff that is as little and nonconfrontational as "stopped talking to someone," so I pick what I speak out against, 2) because I know the nature of this site and its tendency to harass people and I'm not gonna be part of that even if purely by accident, 3) because I prefer to handle things privately, one on one, if there is a serious issue rather than airing it all out, and 4) because for the most part I am very unaware of individual people in the DID community--I don't follow the tags and I get most of my DID Community News from either friends who tell me things or because something got recommended to me. For example for the specific person you asked about, I am actually aware of who they are, only because they've been around for years, but I do not keep up with them or read basically any of their stuff.

The most I will say to you here is this: if you are asking me, then it seems like you don't think they are reliable or at least doubt that they are. I would ask yourself what makes you uncomfortable, but also to trust your gut. It's good to wrestle with your own discomfort and reasons why you might be uncomfortable with someone that could be bias, but it is still a good idea to listen to yourself. Whether you turn out to be "correct" or not, you should have your own back in these matters.

imagine holding your f/o when they need comfort from their lover (even if they don't make it known and/or try to deny it). they feel safe in your presence and can finally let their walls down and release all of their pent-up emotions while in your embrace.

Leon: So, truth or dare?

Chris: Leon, this is NOT a slumber party

Leon: Sure feels like one

Jill: Kennedy, we are in a prison cell

Claire: I choose dare

In between arc (kinda) episodes

Pt. 3

Since I posted Silver’s siblings, it’s time for the parents!

This is their dad Turin, they get the psychic powers from his side of the family. Turin’s psychokinesis makes his body act basically like a magnet to any and all surfaces (including something Venice formed). He can’t draw something to him, but he can always draw himself to it. It makes him the most mobile and quickest of the family, so he might be first or carry something important whenever they go out after curfew or are up to not-allowed things. If they’re all going (except grandpa, he’s their alibi and stays home) and they need Gold to link all of their minds together for communication or need her to do things that might ask more of her than usual, Turin will carry her on his back to ease some of the stress that could plague her.

Turin is a big family man and a very good cook (though he hates the prepping step like cutting veggies, so his wife usually does it since she doesn’t mind it and he does the rest. But that’s if he needs to go out and she’s home early. Else, they do it together. The kids do the dishes though >:]c). He didn’t have good parents as a child with an absent father and a mom that honestly wasn’t much better, so all he had for a very long time was his half-brother (not that he ever says the half part), and once he had a wife (plus her kinda odd but very cool father living in their apartment) and kids he’s been doing his best to keep them happy and well.

Unfortunately the story doesn’t end there and after two days of acting weird, his brother mysteriously vanished. It had been weighing on his mind, but 6 months later when Silver disappeared through a portal while chasing Nega (leading to the events of Rivals 1), it all turned to anxiety and a feeling he was losing them all one by one. It doesn’t help he tried to prevent the disappearances and failed to stop both of them from happening.

Wanderer Is the Anemo Archon- Crack Fic Idea

Ya’ll know how there’s that bug with Wanderer’s E-skill that lets him walk on water? Well I just thought, what if people from Mondstadt were to see him do that and then in person where their eyes will be drawn to his anemo vision. Or like, he’s flying across the water cause bridges are for losers, he ends up falling halfway through but instead of plopping into the water, he lands on his feet and casually strolls the rest of the way with people watching him. Keep in mind this is all for crack purposes. Anyways, they’ll take a look at Barbatos’ statue, look at him, and mistake him for their god. Word spreads throughout Mondstadt and next thing Wanderer knows, he’s being greeted happily by the people and being given gifts and all that. And then he hears them call him Barbatos, the Anemo archon and flies away in a panic, causing the misunderstanding to escalate.

"Ineffable selfies"

HELLO IT'S NEARLY 11PM AND I SHOULD REALLY BE ASLEEP BUT I WANTED TO POST THIS FIRST

honestly though I'm probably not going to sleep I'm probably just going to read or work on my cosplay or some shit

I've finally drawn the ineffables again! (I also have a bunch of doodles that I will share eventually)

Crowley added the filter like the silly little dork (affectionate) he is

“how was ___” “it was good” but everyone is distraught and traumatized

illumination would make a fucking great movie out of blowing up farewell my turnabout into a full runtime because:

- most illumination films have a higher bodycount than the average aa game

- literally everything about celeste and juan and adrian and matt, individually and as relationship units. people love touting these movies as not genuine but the adrian accomplice reveal would be so Good

- the soundtrack would fuck

- the Established Family Unit of nick maya and pearl disrupted violently by the plot. gjdhhshs illumination movies are pretty good at that kind of uncanny loneliness of being various degrees of alienated from your family for any reason and throwing this switch would be effective and terrible

- shelly de killer extra scenes that are just aai2 ice cream man

- nick kicking down those doors wouldnt be a joke actually. there's always marvel quips in these joke posts. they're fun movies but even when they're funny they arent so un-genuine.

- "what kind of jokes are--" matt pulls out his fucking burbon and when nick looks desperately at the guard the guy ducks, obviously having either given it to him or knowing it happens. The action is funny but the framing and audio cue make it clear that the cops not only know to an extent but Will Not Help You. he's only barely in prison. the guard has a large anime sweat drop as the shot re-focuses on nick staring into his own reflection in the glass instead.

- i dont think they'd shy away from this kind of visceral breakdown either? like. i think it'd be discretion cut away but the reunion scene between maya and nick and pearl is the next part and maya is like "what aboutt your record?" and nick goes "i won :)"

- credits scene dance party tribute to the jammin ninja which is a little bit tasteless but it's not worse than anything else that happens generally speaking. de killer is here.

i didn't really talk about it cause i think most mutuals know. but the reason that fic causes me so much pain is because they've been together for over ten years at that point and have never had a fight where they need a break from each other... they've never even had a fight where they yell

*sarcastic applause towards the local energy company whose property nearly totaled my car and they refused to do anything* 

We got through that entire tropical storm with power only to lose it for an estimated five hours while the sky is CLEAR.

But tbh, this city isn’t so bad without all that light pollution and loud noises. Sounds like I’m back in a small town out here.

record high temps again today DIE
