PSA: i keep seeing posts about staying cool in extreme heat that include advice like "gatorade is bad actually!" and "don't drink fruit juice it'll just dehydrate you!" and neither of these are true!

regarding fruit juice: there's apparently a misconception that Any Sugar At All will dehydrate you, and that's simply not true. yes, sugar will make you pee more when consumed in large amounts, but 1) the natural sugar in fruits won't do this to you 2) great news! a lot of fruit juices exist without any added sugar in them! 3) honestly even having a glass of the fruit juice with added sugar won't completely dehydrate you as long as you're also drinking water throughout the day. if its hot you deserve a cold treat of a drink!!! can't go wrong with fruit juice!!!

regarding gatorade: maybe this isn't an every day drink, but guess what: if it's 110F/40C or hotter outside, and you don't have AC, or you're moving around a lot outside of the AC, and you're sweating buckets: that's when you drink a gatorade.

gatorade exists to replenish all the electrolytes (salt) and glucose (sugar) that you sweat out. YES it is meant for athletes to drink during intensive work outs and not necessarily for people who aren't doing that kind of exercise. BUT GUESS WHAT! when you're sweating buckets because you had to walk to the bus in extreme heat, that's intensive exercise. please feel free to drink a gatorade after that! that's its intended use case!!!!

no: neither of these drinks should be a total replacement for water. but drinking a lot of water and then treating yourself to a fruit juice with lunch is a good idea!!! drinking a gatorade becuase you just had to walk for 20 minutes in the heat is a good idea!!!

Please Stop Spreading Misinformation About Drinks!!! It's fine if you drink things that aren't water!!!! Yes you should probably always be drinking water but drinking something else As Well isn't going to hurt you!!!! okay!!!! its fine!!!!!!

honestly so long as you are consistently getting Any (non-alcoholic) fluids in you, you're doing great!!!!!! okay!!!! i love you stay safe <3

sighs in defeat.

fine, if i get 250 notes i'll write a microfic everyday for a month. Also, you all can feel free to send me requests for marauders' pairings and characters.

if i get 500 notes i'll tell my best friend that i've sh before. (i haven't told her yet)

if this gets 750 notes i'll stop procrastinating and actually work on a (non-fanfic) book i'm writing

this is impossible, but if it gets 1,000 notes i'll actually write a couple chapter fanfiction. (if it gets that high, give me suggestions for what pairing to focus on for it)

oh right, technically i sell t-shirts

i forgot about that

Quackity: Lately, I have been participating in events and projects, and unfortunately it's become clear to me that my presence and name have only been used to attract the attention of my national and international community with the objective, as I see it, of generating more attention towards controversies - destructive controversies, and a rupture that is very clear in the community. [...] In advance, I ask the organizers of any type of events and projects like this to please show more respect to me and my community, because I've shown lots of sympathy and cooperation in these various projects and events, but it's become clear to me that their only interest is in using my name. My name and my community have been used to attract all this attention for distorted purposes, and I will no longer allow that to happen. That is not what my content is about - not me nor my content nor anything I’ve done.

Here's Quackity's commentary on respect and his reasoning for distancing himself and his projects from future events and awards shows.

Quackity: Before I leave, I would like to talk about something that is very serious for me and something that I would like to tell you about. Because for me it is a very serious topic and it is a topic that- well, I had my mind on and I want to express it- [reading Chat] yes, thank you. Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas.

Anyways, lately I have been participating in events and projects, and in these events and projects, unfortunately it's become clear to me that my presence and name have only been used to attract the attention of my national and international community with the objective, as I see it, of generating more attention towards controversies - destructive controversies, and a rupture that is very clear in the community, and this is what I want to say: I'm NOT ok with these types of dynamics or stuff like this, and I want to make it very clear to my stream, my community, and everyone that, for this exact reason that I just mentioned, I want to make it clear that I want to distance myself and any of my projects from the Esland Awards, which you all know is coming up.

Sadly, the Esland Awards have been an event with a history of much controversy, a lot of division, and a lot of divisions within the community, and as you guys know, as you know, my content has never been characterized by seeking controversy or divisions or anything like that. It's for this exact reason that I don't want to be involved with these awards.

In advance, I ask the organizers of any type of events and projects like this to please show more respect to me and my community, because I've shown lots of sympathy and cooperation in these various projects and events, but it's become clear to me that their only interest is in using my name. My name and my community have been used to attract all this attention for distorted purposes, and I will no longer allow that to happen. I don't want it to happen. That is not what my content is about - not me nor my content nor anything I've done. That's what I want to make very clear here.

That's about it. I'm going to continue with the projects I'm doing and I want to thank my community so much for the support and love. I appreciate it very much, but I wanted to make this clear - I wanted to make this clear. This is just a topic I wanted to address quickly.

Thank you for all the love and support, I love you all so much.

hi ya'll! quick interest check ->

i'm thinking about hosting an mcyt-focused "art study month" in january, where each week there's a new "theme" for art studies/exercises to do, and you can compile them up at the end of each week and share how you've improved/what you've learned and we can all do it together!

i think it'd be really fun as a kickoff to the new year, where a lot of people are really focused on improving from last year but maybe are a bit directionless in how to do so.

i also wouldn't do daily prompts, simply a suggestion of different studies/things you can focus on each week and you get the freedom to adapt that to what you would like to do!

The Most Controversial Topic in the TCF Fandom...

Made a quiz. What Alt Mode Would You Have If You Were a Transformer?

Harp. Seal. Clone o~o i'd suggest a fox but eh thats sounds too much like what I would do but I also adore harp seals. white fluffy babys -w-

There is already a Harp Seal clone: Sugarcube! - Well, she is Harp Seal and Crabeater Seal, but still jfdglkj

Here she is causing violence on her dad, bc she is hungry, and he is fast asleep! Wake up Earl!!!

(There also is a fox clone (Lollipop) She is part Arctic Fox! There currently isn't any other types of foxes yet, but likely to change now that I mentioned it kjgfdkfg)

2012 and Rise TMNT Crossover Masterpost

‘everytime I read a 2012 and 2018 tmnt crossover fic it’s always so inaccurate—‘

You’re right. The moment 2012 Leo would see the 2018 turtles he would instantly adopt them as his new brothers.

‘No! The 2012 tmnt would hate the 2018 turtles for not having it as hard as them and being so lucky with the Hidden City and the 2018 tmnt would hate the 2012 tmnt for being such bad brothers to each other—‘

No. Maybe at first, until the 2012 tmnt realize that ‘oh shit, these guys’ Shredder was a demon and that oh shit, their Kraang were terrifying’ and the 2018 tmnt would be realize ‘that oh my god these guys have been through so much they can be our new older brother figures’

The 2012 and 2018 turtles would become instant family and you cannot tell me otherwise. Found family trope, FOUND FAMILY TROPE—

Part 1 of the Linked Universe Winged Au! Starting the series off with the bird man himself, Sky!

Next >>>

In my headcanon, I believe that the people of Skyloft have a relationship with their Loftwings that is similar to the Air Nomads and Sky Bison in ATLA. Just like how the Sky Bison were the original Airbenders and the companions of the Air Nomads, the Loftwings were the ones that taught the people of Skyloft how to fly and remain as their "other halves" to this day.

This idea was taken from the canon dialogue in Skyward Sword that states, "Skyloftians consider themselves to be one half of a pair until they are made whole by the Loftwings. When a Skyloftian is young, they meet their bird companion under the Statue of the Goddess. Having a Loftwing and being able to ride it separates the kids from the adults."

This sign of a Skyloftian child turning into an adult is shown as the kid meets their Loftwing counterpart and begin losing their baby feathers. As they grow up, their feathers will gradually molt and be replaced with colors the same plumage as their Loftwing counterparts. Afterward, their Loftwing will guide and teach them how to fly with the help of their parents.

Now you may be wondering, if the people of Skyloft have wings of their own, why do they still ride their Loftwings? Well one reason would be because the children on Skyloft still aren't able to fly for the first several years of their life. As a parent who may have one or more children, having a Loftwing to ride on would be a huge help rather then struggling to carry children and fly at the same time. There are also other circumstances to consider such as carrying large loads such as groceries or furniture, flying far distances, and combat that are all made easier with the help of a Loftwing.

Now back to Sky, seeing as his Loftwing is known for its bright crimson feathers and is modeled after the Shoebill bird you can expect the same characteristics to be shown in his own wings for this au. Despite his poor running stamina, he's a VERY strong flier, if not the best out of all the Links due to growing up in the sky and having a giant bird teach him all the tricks. However, as shown in Skyward Sword, "Loftwings cannot fly during the nighttime since they have a terrible night vision, and only those which have been specially trained can fly in the dark." Sky has most certainly had special training to fly in the dark due to his history at the Knights Academy so he is capable of flying in the dark, but I do believe that his night vision is worse than other Links.

Anyways, that was a lot, so kudos to those who made it through all that lore dump! Let me know if you want to know more and who you want to see next! 😊

A one piece x satsuriko no tenshi crossover. Where Zoro is Zack and Sanji is Rachel. Other one piece characters occupy the building as God and other angels, but i haven’t yet decided on them. The focus is on zosan and their death pact.

Zoro is terrible at figuring out his way out of the building but is good at fighting. Sanji is the brain of the breaking out operation. He makes a pact with Zoro. “I’ll help you get out of here if you promise to kill me at the end.” And zoro agrees and makes sure Sanji doesn’t get killed by anyone but him. Along the way, they learn to trust each other and Zoro realizes that he likes Sanji too much to kill him. Even after he realizes that Sanji isn’t a sacrifice but an angel himself. Even after he realizes that sanji had killed his father and his brothers (i know. It’s uncharacteristic behavior for sanji but it has to be this way for the crossover to make sense). Zoro finds out that Sanji’s father and brothers have been abusive to him and Sanji is grappling with a lot of self worth issues and thinks he deserves to die for his sins.

Anyway, they finally make it out after the building collapses behind them. And when Sanji asks Zoro to honor their oath and kill him…zoro confesses instead.

Butterfly my dear friend Butterfly....

ID: a drawing of Cure Butterfly from Hirogaru Sky Precure in several poses from her transformation sequence. On the top left, she is holding the Sky Mirage like a mic while she is holding out her thumb, index finger, and middle finger with her free hand. Below that, she is mid-jump, smiling with her eyes closed. Bottom left is a close up of her winking and holding up her thumb, index finger, and pinky. In the center, she has her fists under her face, excited. On the top right, she is grinning at the viewer with an index finger on her cheek. Below that, she is jumping to the side, holding her Sky Mirage. On the bottom right corner, she is leaning forward, arms thrown to her side and hair flowing behind her. End ID.
