Free Dr. Ratio is still available until the end of 2.1, right? And there was an in-universe explanation for why they were giving him away for free (him interrupting Owlbert's show and his letter to us, about him spreading knowledge and education).

So it's not a theory or a prediction, just a little idea, but what if there will be an in-universe explanation for why he's not available to claim for free anymore? Like, I hope he doesn't die in 2.2 or something. Maybe, considering that it coincides with the end of Aventurine's banner, what if they elope together, or he'll be busy trying to retrieve Aven from that black hole.

#my stuff #dr ratio #raturine #aventio #ratiorine #is he currently still available though?#I'm not sure #internet isn't helping

This might seem like an "old man yells at cloud" situation, but it's just wild growing up and being told how dangerous distracted driving is - how, at highway speeds, you can traverse the length of a football field (100 yards, 91 meters) in a matter of seconds - how one split second sending a text while driving could result in a potential fatal crash, and then getting on the road as a driver and being surrounded by billboards. Their entire purpose is to catch one's attention, so they're lining major roads, which tend to be highways. How is it that you're told how important it is to never be distracted while driving, but still being advertised to?

At best, this type of advertising is an eyesore to pedestrians and motorists and a general waste of electricity to light it, and at worst, it is an active danger considering they are there to advertise and therefore, must catch people's attention.

I'm not even against advertising in theory, but this particular mode bothers me so much and I hate how pervasive it is - especially in large cities or highways.

#politics #i don't know much about são paulo banning marketing billboards but on paper i want that here in the USA #as a motorist it at best just makes me more anxious driving in those larger cities because i want to FOCUS ON THE ROAD #and passing 5000 billboards per mile isn't helping actually!#i've gotten good at filtering that out of my FOV but it's still fucking exhausting lol #i especially hate those modern electric billboards. despise them actually #i am aware that advertising is a critical aspect to business management in some cases...#...but it shouldn't risk the safety of the populous for you to advertise to them and i see things like billboards as risking safety...#...i feel similarly about online advertising in that so much of it risks internet user's safety...#...such as flashing ads online which risk triggering epileptic seizures in light/photo-sensitive folks #distracted driving (texting): NO >:( || distracted driving (being advertised to): YAYYYY :D #i've been driving on my own for a few years now and i've been thinking about this for ENTIRELY too long

interviewer: alright you ready? i heard someone in your band cut themselves while shaving their balls. is this true?

frank iero: hahaha that is completely true. (completely true)

interviewer: who was it? it

frank iero: wahahaha oh man. heh uh I guess he's not like whatever about it because he told the story on stage but. alright well, we were on tour one time and uh gerard was like in the bathroom for a long ass time somebody brought up the fact that when you're on tour yknow it's like.. when you're on tour and you haven't showered in a month yknow? or like gerard doesn't shower at all. hardly. he really stinks. and the hair on your nuts it's like- really keeps the smell in yknow so he figured like if he got rid of the hair, yknow he might cut down on some of the reeking uh so he had like a buzzer and he shaved himself and I guess he cut some- his balls and it just started bleeding everywhere

interviewer: this is terrible man

frank iero: what's that?

interviewer: this is a terrible question i'm gonna go to the next one

frank iero: alright

interviewer: thank you for telling us that though, revealing private information

frank iero: hey it's not my thing

interviewer: it's not your balls

audio from spaceyraygun on youtube! spacey was a fan when the band was just getting started. check out their about! their audio was used in some official mcr stuff.x

#gerard cut his balls #they thought shaving would help the smell?#also gerard you're in the bathroom isn't just taking a shower easier?#this is a bit of fan trivia thats been along for a long time #this audio became basically gone from the internet until spaceyraygun uploaded their official recordings #they have the goods go to their youtube #2004 mcr #three cheers for sweet revenge #mcr #my chemical romance #iero #frank iero #frnkiero #ray toro #mikey way #gerard way #mcrmy #spaceyraygun

Fëanorian Week 2023, Day 7: Fëanor and Nerdanel

You can see I gave up on the barely-there draping and went for full clothes in this one, mostly because Nerdanel would require more of it to get past Tumblr guidelines and I didn’t want to deal with all that.

And yes, I know the pose is almost identical to that Gwindor-and-Finduilas drawing I did that one time. I’m not very creative when it comes to romantic stuff in drawings so we just have to take what we can get.

So...yeah, that’s the end of Fëanorian Week. No more updates and excuses and explanations! Huzzah! I shall now disappear again for an undetermined length of time.

#feanorianweek #fëanor #nerdanel #the man the myth the legends #three shinies #my trash #people sometimes fall in love i guess #lovers to enemies #/end classification tags #i'm still trying to learn how to draw girls #the internet isn't very helpful either because half of them would say her waist here is too thick and the other half would say the opposite #but! i feel like i'm learning!#nerdanel was harder to draw than aoratay though because aoratay had muscles #and like #i can do muscles #but just a slender and smooth arm?#how do?#cannot.#the end.

imo, dick grayson is the type of person who would post 'am i the asshole' stories on reddit.

#batman #dick grayson #nightwing #robin 01 #dick grayson was never the angry robin #he was just severely traumatized by witnessing his parents' death #richard grayson #dick grayson has an account for both his civilian and superhero identities #dick grayson has a reddit account #dick grayson furiously typing on his computer: aita for being mad at my dad?#dick grayson is a disaster #at least he's asking for help even though it's from random strangers #his account for nightwing goes instantly viral everytime he posts something about the batfamily #bruce has lectured dick on leaking personal business on the internet multiple times #sometimes just to stir the post dick will post a fake story about batman on his nightwing account #dick grayson is a menace #just because he has eldest daughter syndrome doesn't mean he can't be a little chaotic #though technically he isn't really the eldest because he has an older half-sister

weaponized incompetence: purposefully doing a task as badly as possible so you won't be asked to do that task again, i.e. washing new jeans with white clothes knowing fully well it will ruin the white clothes because you're sick of being asked to do the laundry

NOT weaponized incompetence: asking for help and/or clarification with doing a task, i.e. asking which clothes need to be washed separately and what settings different clothes need to be washed on

#hashtag destigmatize asking questions 2k23 #PLEASE i am BEGGING you guys (i.e. the internet). needing help/guidance/clarification is OKAY #and NORMAL #but also gonna tag this with #Actually Autistic #because i cannot DESCRIBE how many times i as an autistic kid got labeled as ''defiant''#for asking questions. innocent basic questions.#and i know this isn't an uncommon experience for autistic people #weaponized incompetence

Headcanon of our favorite playboy Brucie Wayne :

Bruce took the mantle directly after his world trip when he was ~20, and Selina was one of his first encounter. She has seen every Brucie's antics live for the last 10-15 years.

But, when you get married to a billionaire, he can buy you everything so what wedding present could be more than special, something that mean something deep for them both ?

My girl calls every female who's not a batkid and somehow her bachelorette party and Bruce's bachelor party merged in the Iceberg Lounge where a wild Brucie like we didn't see him since he's a dad ride this polebar ! Eyes candy for those ladies and gentlemen !

so maybe this is a really stupid question, but what exactly is homestuck? i've no idea and i have asked multiple people and no one has given me an answer yet, but i hope you do answer.

Alright, I'll try to give the most comprehensive answer I can.

Homestuck is a semi-interactive webcomic that started back in 2009, written by Andrew Hussie. Completed in 2016, the webcomic as a whole sits at 8,123 pages (800k words). The format of the webcomic includes not only illustrated panels on each page, but hours of fully animated videos, multiple playable flash-games, a TON of amazing music (possibly composed by some familiar faces!), and interactive mechanics used within the browser itself to deliver some of the more "meta" elements of its plot.

Now, to give the most brief summary, the story of Homestuck is about a group of kids (John Egbert, Rose Lalonde, Jade Harley, and Dave Strider) who become friends over the internet and decide to play a game called SBURB, a reality-altering video game that brings about the end of the world. If SBURB is beaten, it would allow the players to become the creator/gods of a new world.

Along the way, the kids will interact with a slew of other characters, including a species of aliens called trolls. There's time travel, extensive and convoluted game mechanics, meta-narratives, alternate timelines, and all sorts of stuff that will make your brain hurt. It's complex and insane and wonderful, mind-bending and incredibly genre-defying. There's so much I'd want to say but you just can't summarize the immensity of Homestuck in a post like this.

If you are at all interested in reading Homestuck, the best way to do it is to use the Unofficial Homestuck Collection. With the death of Flash, the original website is mostly broken. This collection is the BEST way to experience it.

If you decide to take the dive, I wish you luck o7.

#chris talks #homestuck #hs #there's a lot more i could say #but if i say more then i have to say MORE and then this post would be 10 pages #it's honestly best if you go in blind and just experience it!#it WILL be confusing as fuck #that is the vibe #most homestucks don't actually fully understand the story of homestuck #if you can have a friend or someone who is a homestuck give you a little help and guide you and answer questions non-spoiler-y as you go #that's actually a great way to do it #that's how i did it at least :]#also as a small warning #homestuck was made a while ago in the early ages of the internet so it does use some slurs #there's an extension you can grab in the homestuck collection to remove the slurs #it's not an insane amount but it's enough that you're just reading and like oh Huh another one!#just something to note #i love homestuck so much and recommend it to so many people #it also broke my heart and soul and i hate it but in a <3< way yknow #homestuck isn't for everyone but if you can get through act 1 #you can read all of it.#act 1 is like a test case. if you can enjoy act 1's silliness and almost pointlessness at certain points #then you can get through it and into the MEAT of homestuck #act 4-6 are the juicy ones #have fun <3

i surprisingly got a response from one of my senators re: the KOSA bill.

#grapecase posts #i'm like what am i to do with this?#i kept thinking like is capitalizing Big Tech meant to scare me or are yall just so used to saying that #it feels like such a hollow term #because im like who allowed these Big Techers to have all that power #surely everyone needs such protections. and while what is being said sounds good on paper #i cnat help but wonder like what happened to individual parental controls? and also the internet isn't kids only source for harmful ideas #maybe things have changed way so much since i was a kid. but just like tv wasnt the main source of kids getting such ideas #half the times - most of the time. it was from their own parents. peers. and instuctors #not to say we shouldnt be more mindful of certain industries access to kids #but i cant help but worry #but the dpa doesnt sound like a bad thing #us politics #KOSA bill

#Cozytober #Margot's RF Art #Rune Factory Frontier #RF Frontier #RFF #The internet isn't down today so I can submit at a normal time yay!!#I legit had a relaxing time painting this. I was starting to feel burned out yesterday- happens when you draw every day.#when some don't turn out like you liked. Happens with all art. Especially when you were ill while drawing some.#and you have to return to work after not being able to BREATHE. Physical burnout too.#But. Today.#Today I felt so relaxed and nice. Had nice social moments from across my life that helped kick burnout/self worth in the face #Especially when 3 different friends reach out- randomly- within a half hour of one another. As if they knew you needed it #Feels very nice to be reminded you're loved (and you out there- you are.)#And what else I love- Anette. A woman who loves early mornings and fruit after my own heart #If I'd played Frontier before discovering 1 Anette might be the other otp half.

Honestly, the craziest part of accessibility is that there aren't many abled people (and disabled people who aren't disabled in Every Way Possible) who wouldn't benefit from any of the accessibility options out there

ALT text has made it so much better to navigate image-based pages! I'm not visually-impared, but tumblr is terrible at loading images, and I'm not always connected to WiFi. People who add ALT text make it easy to satiate my curiosity when images don't load! This, coupled with actually learning how blind and visually-impared people navigate the online world, has inspired me to do my best to emulate the things I find helpful, even if the way it helps me is very different than theirs. Having a sense of scale in how it helps me versus how it actually makes the internet usable to the blind and visually-impared is something I do try to keep in mind.

Navigating a world with accessible options is primarily going to help the disabled, and it's imperative to keep this in mind. I do think, though, that illustrating just how much accessibility impacts even abled people's lives can help inspire people to think, "wow, I can't imagine a world without [accessibility option] and I don't need it, but it makes life so much easier." The more I interact with accessibility options I don't need, I still find it so helpful. I can't even imagine how amazing it is when you do need that accessibility and it's actually provided to you.

I don't think that abled people should only be in it for themselves. Again, accessibility should put disabled needs first and foremost. But I can't help but wonder how many people you can get to understand this by first saying how it impacts them, too.

#disability #accessibility #long post #ALT text is a perfect example of accessibility for not only the visually-impared but for a vast array of sighted people too #i don't want people to construe this as 'oh so only abled people matter in accessibility huh' because that isn't what i am saying #basically... it can be hard at times to viscerally experience a disability you don't have and to be accommodated for it #i learned a lot about how the blind and visually-impared internet population navigate the internet...#...and seeing how ALT text for instance has even helped *me* has me realize how important i found it...#...so i couldn't imagine just how important it is if you cannot see an image the way a sighted person would #it's things like that that can help teach abled people about how they even benefit from disability advocacy and don't even know it #ily accessibility (which is why i love to talk about it)#yet another post i composed while pausing skyrim (this is Actually a problem (lighthearted))

Talking a little bit about 'boycotting Eurovision' under Keep Reading, feel free to scroll down if is not what you want to see.

The most used argument on the matter of banning Israel from Eurovision is the fact that Russia got banned from Eurovision, which is the worst argument anyone could bring.

Kindly reminder that Russia didn't get banned because of the war with Ukraine. Russia got banned because many countries has threatened to withdraw from the competition. Sadly, that's a big difference.

Yes, the countries has threatened to withdraw because they support Ukraine and see Russia as the party in the wrong. That was their reason. EBU's reason for banning Russian was because those countries threatened to withdraw, not because the war was bad and Russia must be stopped.

This situation isn't the same. Why? Because many countries support Israel in their genocide. Because this time around Palestine is the party in the wrong. Because we're taught to believe that Israel isn't in the wrong here.**

Boycotting Eurovision won't work. There are people out there who don't know the truth and want to watch Eurovision. There are people out there who don't care and will watch Eurovision regardless of the situation. There are people out there who, despite having the facts, still don't see Israel as the bad guy in this situation and will watch Eurovision. Sadly, boycotting won't work unless everyone does it.

The only way Israel will get banned, in my opinion, is by going through the same thing as Russia. If other countries threatened to withdraw- and not any countries, but the ones investing the most in Eurovision, then yes. That will get Israel banned.

Otherwise? The only thing we do is hurt artists that don't deserve it. Artists who use Eurovision as a way to get more exposure and experience. Artists who deserve to be heard.

Don't vote for Israel's entry. Don't stream their song either. Heck, turn off the TV when is their turn to perform.

**This whole situation (the war, not Eurovision) isn't only black and white. Civilians die daily because of this, all of them from both sides. Innocent people who has no fault. Let's not forget that

#Honestly I'm tired of the whole 'Russia got banned Israel should be banned too' speech because is truly bullshit #It has nothing to do with the war per se. It was because countries were unwilling to participate in support for Ukraine #If the whole situation was truly political then other countries wouldn't be able to participate either #Is it fair? No. But that's the situation #Alas Eurovision exist so we forget about the bad in the world for a bit and be more united. Have some fun. Stuff like that #I'm going to get so much hate over this omg. But this is just my opinion/point of view on the matter #Sadly this whole situation isn't even about helping the innocent put in danger by this situation. Is about hate like everything else #My wording is so shitty but people on the internet don't understand shit unless I call 'X bad Y good' so we go with that #eurovision 2024 #Also another reminder that THE WHOLE AUDIENCE chanted 'Cha Cha Cha' during eurovision 2023 and were rotting for Finland to win just to lose #Many entries got fucked up by the jury votes too. Our opinion doesn't matter as much as some of you might think lol #Jury votes GOT CHANGED during another eurovision under shitty reasons (I can't remember which year but there were 5 or 6 countries who got #their votes changed). Eurovision has never been fair #We always get annoyed over it and trash talk it then watch it the next year #Also this is not the same as boycotting brands and shit like that who support Israel. No money go from Eurovision to Israel.#This competition as far as I am aware (please correct me if I'm wrong) doesn't support Israel in any way #Be it financially or by donating arms or any other way #Their only fault is for allowing Israel to participate. That's all #Weapons* don't ask me why I said arms instead sorry #i'm tired lol #Fair warning I won't answer any replies to this post

Hey, y'all, this is just your friendly reminder that other people on the Internet are, in fact, people.

We are not just faceless usernames or silly little profile pictures; we are human beings with human emotions and human lives outside of the internet sphere. We all have problems and issues that are never shared in our online lives. We all have things we are coping and dealing with. We all have complex emotions and complicated relationships and situations with others that we're struggling with.

The person you're about to send anonymous hate or say mean things to is still a person, just as you are yourself. The words you say may have a lasting impact on this person, so before you call them a mean name or try tearing them down, please take a moment to consider if it's actually that big of a deal, if it's actually that worth it to you to potentially leave a lasting - and very negative - impact on another person's life due to whatever situation happened online.

As a reminder, you know nothing of this person, aside from the things you've been told, either by the person themselves or by others. You most likely will never meet them in-person and get the opportunity to look them in the eyes as you speak to them. Would you look them in the eyes and say the same words you are about to share? Because it's so easy to see a cute little crow profile picture or a silly little drawing and dehumanize that person in your mind, associating the picture with the name and subconsciously believing that they are not a human being with emotions, such as yourself. It's so incredibly easy for us to do that, but frankly, it's not right. That profile picture still has a human being sitting behind it at the computer or on their phone. There is a real person behind that account.

Let's all be a little nicer to each other in online spaces, please, and stop attacking each other so viciously. We are not starving jackals, tearing and ripping into each other ruthlessly for any sort of scrap of meat we can find, so let's stop acting like them and treat each other more humanely.

#reminder #I'm just tired of this #this isn't aimed at anyone or anything #but after talking to my therapist about some situations that happened #i realized how much the internet has honestly traumatized me #and significantly changed me as a person #I'm not saying the internet is evil or something #but I am saying that we need to collectively help make it a more comfortable space to exist in #at the end of the day #we can only really control our own individual actions and reactions #but that is still a power that we are responsible for #and one that we should use responsibly as well #vent post
