so one time i got bit by a brown recluse which is one of the only types of spider in my area that's actually dangerous and at first i didn't know what had happened to me, only that it was nasty. the swelling wasn't going down and the wound started to get ugly. i don't want to like get into the details because that's gross but it got to the point 2 weeks later that i was worried enough to go to the doctor, which i hate doing.

i am not afraid of spiders but other people are so i'd been covering it with this big ole square bandage (i needed more landscape coverage than a simple bandaid) and sat in the university medical waiting room, kicking my heels and playing BOTW. the nurse who admitted me was like, oh, we have got to get Tom to cover this one. she wrote spider bite under my ticket.

i waited in the near-empty building for like an hour and then nurse tom shows up in spiderman scrubs, out of breath. "sorry," he says, "i saw - your slip - and I had," he heaves in a breath, "to run home and. get. these scrubs. i literally. ran. felt like a job. for. spiderman."

i laugh. he puts his hands on his knees, thumbs-ups at me. fishes a pamphlet out from under his clipboard that basically says spiders can be scary but you don't need to be scared, there's very few dangerous spiders in new england. "honestly," he wheezes, "we probably don't need to get you into an exam room. just..." he waves his hand at the pamphlet, "read that."

i look down at my arm. then back at him in his scrubs. and then down at my arm. i like that he made an effort to make a joke, but now it does not feel like a good joke, because they are mistaking my calm for a lack of injury. "can i. like. at least show you the bite?"

he gives me kind of a weird look, which is fair, but then says. "if. i mean, if you have to."

i peel the bandage off. his face goes green.

"oh," he says.

"yeah, man."

"a... spider bit you?" his voice is high and tight and trembling. he backs up a few steps.

"i think a brown recluse," i offer. "i know it's nasty, sorry."

"excuse me for a moment." he looks over to the administering nurse on the other side of the small room. "i need to find someone else to take care of you."

the administering nurse smiles over to us with a degree of pleasure that is almost salivating. for a moment, like a window opening, i am briefly aware of what must be a psychic message floating amongst the in-between. her jaguar teeth all say this is like a party for me and i know exactly what i'm doing.

"oh no, tom," she says, grinning. "i gave her to you specifically."

#this is a real thing that happened #i then waited in an exam room for another hour until a doctor was similarly dismissive until he saw it #and then just gave me antibacterial cream which didn't help the swelling lol #it went away on its own like 4 weeks later #but that's like not the fun part of this story #i was just like. suddenly in the middle of someone else's work drama and GIRL #btw found this extremely funny #edit in the tags: oh ! i thought they were native to NE !!! ???? omg #i mean a real doctor really saw the wound and said ''brown recluse'' so i assumed he was right i never googled it #i lived on a mattress on the floor in a house of people who were always travelling #so like i guess it could have been ANY spider???#omg.....#the way this rocked my whole world

had the unique experience today of being lucky enough to win a plush kirby prize in an ichiban kuji that is Perfect for holding on my lap while I watch things on my laptop, while the something that I was in the midst of watching today was the seemingly most R-rated show netflix has to offer

this on its own is not much of an issue, except for the fact that due to this plush's design and how i had my hands folded over it it looks like kirby is watching along as well, leading to a particularly fascinating contrast in media consumption- here's a visual aid I put together demonstrating this phenomenon:

#it's such a good plush for folding your hands over because it's mostly a big plush rectangle #kirby is just Also There #anyways i clearly thought it was funny enough to share lmao #but Yeah finally saw the fun animated samurai show people were talking about months ago lol #it was pretty entertaining! def leans a bit towards the game of thrones side of things in terms of excessive sex and gore though #also the constant random fast travel the villains seemed capable of was Very funny #like here you have a protagonist on an absolutely breakneck pace trying to reach their goals #and meanwhile the villains get Constant updates on where they're at via apparently teleportation #once it's obvious the story is more interested in having fun then making sense everything starts clicking #doodles

Ghost story time! 👻 This is the 300 year old grave of a little girl who always wanted to sail with her captain father, but died of disease her first time at sea.

She was put into a rum keg as her father promised her mother she would return home no matter what. They hoped the rum would prevent the spread of any bacteria, and it worked.

She was buried in the keg, and she still lingers in the graveyard at night. Sometimes as an apparition, sometimes as a faint happy humming tune.

People still bring toys to her grave (I bring shells, and if I don't have any I'll just fix up the gifts that have fallen). This time I left her the purplest oyster shell I've ever found 💜

What if the ghosts obikin remembered EVERY au Ahsoka created???

Force Ghost Anakin, unreasonably upset because obi-wan went 10 years ignoring him in an iteration where he was trained by Qui-Gon: I just can’t believe someone who is supposed to be my other half would do something like that !! To me!!! An innocent!!

Force Ghost Obi-Wan: you’re being unreasonable anakin that wasn’t me that was a different version of me. And that wasn’t you. That was a different you. They should have no bearings on our current relationship.

Force Ghost Anakin: oh now those versions of us should have no bearings on our current relationship!! But in the iteration where an Anakin slept with both you and Padmé, that’s different and you’re totally justified being upset and blinking to a different dimension every time I show up

Force Ghost Obi-Wan, sniffing: yes that’s different. you cheated on me.

Force Ghost Yoda speed dialing Ahsoka: stop this, you must. Take this, I cannot.

#asks #obikin #time traveler Ahsoka au #in my head Ahsoka really is just playing around in her own head and she doesn’t realize it #like she is not making an actual change in any universe #the force has plucked her conscience up and put her into a sandbox #so this is really an individual story and force ghost obikin would #have no idea what she’s doing #but she could also imagine that they would #and also this is just funny

I feel like the best part about the new april fools groups is that they aren’t even unit swaps. It’s more like groups forced to work together because they got stuck in a specific part of the past/future.

So for all we know, this is in the same universe as the canon story except their sekai bugged and sent them to different time periods (at least sekai versions of different times) which is honestly really funny and compelling. It looks like a unit swap but looking at the names and what happens in the event (??), it’s the equivalent of just some losers who end up on a deserted island with no one but each other, trying to find their way home.

The implications of them having their old unit are funny too cause imagine them sharing this shit with each other 😭🙏🏻 like “emu. WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU BEFRIENDED ROBOTS?? I ALMOST GOT EATEN BY A DINOSAUR?????!!!!”

#pjsk #project sekai #prosekai #prsk #proseka #i say unit swap because it’s easier than ‘new group exploration’#but at the end of the day it has a more compelling premise of time jumping sekais #instead of swap au 2.0 our asses got dr who and back to the future #it’s so funny #also cough cough kinda called it with my sun-kun au traveling to different places using the sekai #IMAGINE ITS CANON AND THEY JUST BRUSH IT OFF IN THE EVENT STORIES #CAUSE THIS KIND OF STUFF IS NORMAL FOR WANSHO 😭#random but i feel like it would’ve been cooler if they all went to diff time periods like each group and then they have that vibe #like anenaichi go to the end of time nenekanaairishi have like modern but not quite #yk stuff like that

Me as a Time Traveller in 1665, spotting Newton under a tree: "Oh this is my chance to help make history." *chucks an apple, hard, at Newton's head.

*Concussed Newton immediately forgets what he was thinking about (initial concepts of gravitational theory), world altered dramatically off course*

#the story was fake I know #still funny #this is why I haven't been asked to time travel #I have zero self control #isaac newton #personal #about me

MCPLURAL POSTING LETS GO. when yters reference their chat/comments, talking to the audience, etc. so plural to me

Rating: we used to pretend we were recording videos for youtube while playing games as a kid and would talk to ‘the viewers’ and after twitch took off we reffered to ‘chat’ and uh. uh well we’re quite plural. we just thought that was normal. anyways to get to my point yes thats plural.

#mod ⌛️#sorry mod ⭐️ i just had a funny story abt this to share #u guys should input more mcplural asks for that mod btw. or time travel asks for meeee :3

Hi! In Anyone, I'm curious about this: how would it be if AFO and AM never had their final battle? Because I refuse to believe Izuku wouldn't get into a bigger mess now that he has money. Money can solve any problem; if it doesn't it only means you probably don't have enough money. AFO is probably richer than God. Which means Izuku much be unstoppable.

That and I think it would be Funny to see a Stephanie Brown&Clue Master dynamic

You will be disappointed but honestly, you would have the BNHA canon.

Anyone was first defined as a story showing what would happen if Izuku was never chosen by All Might. That's the base on which the story stands.

But the truth is that under this base stands four wooden legs, three of which are broken, which are AFO being sent sooner to Tartarus. Izuku couldn't become Anyone if he didn't have the time and the freedom to invest a fuck ton of time and energy into Anyone. For that to happen, you need Inko to be gone. And AFO's leaving and the money problems it created is the reason why Inko is abroad.

#That's why I am always every time someone asks me what would happen if Anyone!AFO hadn't be sent to Tartarus #You don't really get a story if he is still there in any way #Unless you want to write the Mighty team time traveling to keep AFO out of jail to prevent the Thief stealing OFA and the inner circle #running after them because they want Izuku to be a villain #Which would be extremely chaotic #Also All Might would be constantly coughing blood since he must keep AFO out of jail #Damn Prime Might being punched by All Might to avert a bad future #That would be funny #anyone fic

A new ref for Lemmy, and an official design and introduction of Limmy in This Universe Has Lemons In It! Limmy was created by the Guardian of the Lemonverse (any pronouns) as an attempt to stop Lemmy from what they are doing, which is creating portals to travel through various universes and dimensions to have fun. Not only is that a risk for the balance of the universe, but GotL just dislikes this kid having fun and wants to see them stopped.

Not wanting to do it in it's own hands, it created Limmy, an angel dog meant to be an direct opposite to Lemmy. Limmy, however, doesn't do much to stop Lemmy, other than following them and bickering. Their relationship is very Tom and Jerry rivalry-esk.

(Names color coded for myself to read easier due to the similar names!)

Fun fact, Limmy was originally going to be based on limes (Lime Angel), but I kept that concept for GotL - and made them more angel-like instead.

#GotL as he has been named for the time being uses any pronouns but it/he are the most used just saying #also this little story/oc universe has been planned for a while so i find it funny that GotL has basically the same motivations #miguel in across the spiderverse minus the trauma and more godly power #i just always had an fascination with like...the idea of the universe...multiverses...different dimensions and traveling across them #ive included this in most if not all my oc projects like this actually! at first mostly inspired by gravity falls #which is literally my favorite cartoon ever #i am watching a 2 and a half long video on the timeline rn its so good please watch it its by hana hyperfixates. while working on this i #watched their first 2 hour long gravity falls video. literally newest favorite video essay project? its very good it talks about queerness #in gravity falls and its their passion project and its so obvious there was a lot of effort put into it. anyways away from my tangent i go #'lemmy' put my actual tags here #oc art #character design #oc ref #ref #tuhlii #this universe has lemons in it #lemon demon #UNSURE again if i wanna use '-core' tags on this. i dont like using them much anymore and im only gonna use 'weirdcore' for some kind of #music bc theres no specifics to what type of music i exactly like that lemmy is also based on aside from lemon demon of course #[Lemmy]#[Limmy]#guz art #[2023]#fun fact! i spent like 20+ or so minutes stressing over GotL's possible name until i settled on this goofy title!#its meant to found goofy. like at first you think its gonna sound cool and then youre hit with 'lemonverse'#which it...technically is! where lemmy is from it's like... a connected bunch of worlds and universes and just places all based on #lemon demon songs and other content. tuhlii is basically a love letter to ena + lemon demon + old/childhood internet ?

Accidental dimensional travel is one of my fav tropes in this fandom and “See Life As a Worthy Opponent” by TriviasGhost on AO3, even though it’s still in process, it’s *chef kiss*. So! Here’s what originally was supposed to be just a doodle and ended up cleaner than expected, haha

#Tim Drake #Just love Tim ending in a different universe and acting like the most grumpy poor little meow meow #Pretty sure I’ve mentioned this before but I just love stories where Tim is like - struggling for his LIFE and trying his very best by himse #Agressively denying help while the rest of the cast is in the background like ????#It’s specially funny in Dimensional Travel or Time Travel fics because usually none of the bats know him and still are like #This one - Were keeping him #While Tim wants to avoid them but they won’t?? leave him be????#Anyways love it #Robin #Fanfic #Fic Fanart #Fanfic Fanart #Fanart
