a blessing! regardless of whether my dad can fix my headphones or no, I just looked them up again to see if the price has gone up, expecting it to have doubled or more since I bought those headphones five or so years ago, and found that the price for those exact headphones is precisely the same as it was when I bought them!

hey btw if you're in the USA at  2:20 p.m. ET on Wednesday, Oct. 4, they're testing the emergency broadcast system. your phone is probably going to make a really loud noise, even if it's on silent. there's a backup date on the 11th if they need to postpone it.

if you're not in a safe situation and have an extra phone, you should turn that phone completely off beforehand.

additionally, if you're like me, and are easily startled; i recommend treating it like a party. have a countdown or something. be surrounded by your loved ones. take the actions you personally need to take to make yourself safe.

i have already seen mockery towards any person who feels nervous about this. for the record, it completely, completely valid to have "emergency broadcast sounds" be an anxiety trigger. do not let other people make fun of you for that. emergency sounds are legitimately engineered to make us take action; those of us with high levels of anxiety and/or neurodivergence are already pre-disposed to have a Bad Time. sometimes it is best to acknowledge that the situation will be triggering for some, and to prepare for that; rather than just saying "well that's stupid, it's just a test."

"loud scary sound time" isn't like, my favorite thing, but we can at least try to prevent some additional anxiety by preparing for it. maybe get yourself a cake? noise cancelling headphones? the new hozier album? whatever helps. love u, hope you're okay. we are gonna ride it out together.

"...that's all from me. does any of you have any questions?" "nope! crystal clear." "kew!" "that's good! um... thank you for this discussion." "you're the one who came up with this awesome plan, lopmon. have more confidence in yourself." "kew, kew kew kew!" digimon survive week 2024 day 2: cooperation

i’m sooooooo normal about the god of war series. so incredibly normal i liked it a normal amount and would be so chill talking about it. don’t worry about the sign

there's something sooooooo heartbreaking about quests as a narrative piece. you set out on this journey to rescue someone or defeat a great evil and along the way you face hardship and horror and you grieve and fight and love and lose and then when it's all over you come home. everything is the same as when you left, but you're so irrevocably different that you no longer fit in the one place you used to be truly at peace. you're tired from your journey but you find no rest or recovery, only ghosts. and you almost wish for another quest, another dangerous mission, because at least then you know your purpose.

If there's a will, there's a way.

I may be 160cm - or less, I don't know I thought I was 165cm but my last visit at a clinic said otherwise—

I WILL drag this snarky science lad on my lap and die a happy man if I get crushed by him

I'm in the height of delulu, I seriously think that having someone taller than me sitting on my lap would be somehow comfortable for both parties

Dottore has to be used as a pillow AT LEAST once I mean look at him?? His waist is meant to be held???? Wrap my arms upon them and perish at my own discretion 🗣

He needs pretty princess treatment IM asdfghkl

(Also like, the imagery of tiny reader holding onto him behind his chair is way too funny, he just has to shift a little and at the right angle you wouldn't be able to tell that he's on a lap)

YOU'RE SPEAKING THE TRUTH ANON!! It doesn't matter how tall or short you are. Pull that man (by his tiny waist) into your lap, who cares about the consequences! You may get crushed a wee bit but it is a very small price to pay, who else can say they ever had Il Dottore blushing and grumpy on their lap? (I too am the height of delulu anon. Let's just pretend that Teyvat's physics are different okay??! But even so when facing reality, sure your back is killing you and your legs are growing numb YOU DON'T CARE!! 🗣 Dottore can sit on your lap for hours and you'll be dying but you're fine with it!!)

AHHHH YOU'RE TOO FUNNY AND RELATABLE ANON !! THE WAIST IS TOO REAL!! It's actually really funny to think about reader's obsession with Dottore's waist, like you're always wrapping your arms around it automatically. Doesn't matter when or where... it's why you LOVE hugging Dottore from the back because it's very easy to access that waist. Dottore gets snippy with you in the beginning and then he finds himself interested as you why you like that part of him so much... then he just gives up and lets you squeeze because he has no other choice at your persistence. 😭 And his chest too? Pillow material as you said. 🥺 I just want to squeeze him there too, to be honest. Pretty princess deserves a comfortable seat (you) while he does work!!

In conclusion, Dottore and his segments can crush me and I'd be the happiest person in Teyvat.

(And yes!! Tiny reader would literally be HIDDEN and not visible to the eye at first, especially if the desk is blocking your hands around him. Your face is buried into his back and then you peak out to look at what he's doing. 😭❤️)

my experience with maxing out the twins' friendship is just-

Hawke: So, Carver, my dear baby brother who I love and adore, I only need +10 more points to max out your friendship. I've done the grind; through gritted teeth I've kissed templar ass so that we don't raise suspicion. I've supported and defended you and let you take the lead whenever I could. You're my favorite warrior. I took you to the Deep Roads with me because you desperately wanted to go and then made you a warden and you found a place, a purpose. I've practically written my own guide on how to earn as much friendship with you because I love you and it's totally worth it so can I please please have the last +10...? Carver: Hawke: Carver please I'm begging you Carver: Carver: +5 Friendship Hawke: AAUUGGGHHLKSAJDLKAJSDLK-

Hawke: So, Bethany, my dear sis- Bethany: +50 Friendship Hawke: Bethany: :)

He's done and messier than ever!

It's nice to have gotten back into my rendering groove! I've still got things to improve on, but I'm happy with where I am at the moment

If you're curious, below the cut you can find a timelapse of this very portrait (watch me struggle at double speed) and the first portrait I did of Albus.

Here's the timelapse:

And here is Albus' first portrait:

The only way I could explain this jump between the two is that I was just getting back into digital art around the time when I drew this. I had like a 2/3 year break and I thought that I could just jump back into making art (spoiler alert: that's not how that works).

Why does Albus have curly hair? Couldn't tell you, I drew him like this for the longest time.

Once again I am thinking about becoming an art teacher vs. thinking about how fast I'd get fired if I became an art teacher

Whoever your mysterious savior is, I'm glad he was able to do what we could not. We failed you, General, Sir. After your supposed death, everything started to fall apart. The First Order lies in shambles. It's so dreadful. Do you think there is anything that those, who are still loyal to you, can do? You're our only hope, Sir. Sincerely, Lieutenant X

Number our remaining dreadnoughts, but do not establish contact with anyone to assure our safety. Keep track of our allies.

Focus on your survival, Lieutenant. I shall do the same.

babygirl you are my EVERYTHINg..!!.,1!1!

Anastasia!Lucemond (the musical) where Aemond is Gleb and Lucerys is Anastasia. Aemond is the  dutiful son of the Greens, a few years back the Greens successfully wipes out the Blacks, Aegon II is the king and Otto Hightower served as his Hand until his untimely death. Now, Aemond is the Hand but when rumours of the last surviving Black prince arise, he decides to personally investigate it himself and kill off the people who started such rumours.

It was not possible, all of them had been killed. Rounded up and burned by Vhagar’s fire. Aemond himself had killed Prince Lucerys, his ancient dragon eating both dragon and dragonrider.

Lucerys, who did survive Storm’s End but forgot everything, is desperate to leave Westeros for Essos because of this unexplainable fear of the Targaryen royalty. Saera Targaryen hears about the rumours and is interested in meeting this prince, thus she declares that anyone who brings the prince to her will be greatly rewarded. A declaration that reached Westeros through rumours which inevitably reached Aemond.

With his investigation, the intel of two common folks journeying from King’s Landing to Essos with the rumoured Black prince catches his attention.  Imagine Aemond’s fury at the discovery that someone has been pretending to be Prince Lucerys.

Lucerys is out here living his best life with two new friends, convinced that he could be this lost prince and is looking forward to spending the rest of his life with an estranged aunt in Essos. If it was in a brothel then who was Lucerys to judge? When Aemond finds him, only a day away from meeting this run-away Targaryen princess turned whore, to his shock he finds out that the rumours were true. 

 “Still/The Neva Flows (Reprise)” except instead of Gleb trying to convince Anya from revealing herself as Anastasia, Aemond is trying to convince himself to kill Lucerys for retribution, for his actions and the actions of the Blacks, while Lucerys owns up to his real identity and bravely stands up against Aemond. Lucerys dares Aemond to kill him, to finally finish off the Blacks and to get the justice that he had spent the entirety of his life obsessing over.

After the war, the Targaryens have all but dwindled to three. Aegon, who was sitting on his throne wasting away, his near-to-death niece Jaehera, and Aemond.  Cue Unhinged!Aemond who makes up his mind about bringing Lucerys back to the Red Keep and make the young prince his wife. With Lucerys and their future children, they could bring the Targaryen name back to its full glory and bring in a new era of dragons. 

It ends with Lucerys unwillingly wedded to Aemond. When Aegon and Jahaera die, only a few days apart, Aemond ascends the throne and sitting right beside him is Lucerys, his queen and the mother of his children.

got denied for the credit card bc my w-2 doesnt show my full social security number and capital one thinks it's realistic at all to expect paystubs to have your full uncensored social security number WHEN NOT EVEN YOUR TAX FORMS DO!

had to apply for a new social security card. had to sign up for a website. which theyre sending the activation code to me BY MAIL FOR. literally fucking the mail. and then i have to activate that and ONLY THEN will they consider ssenidng me a new card---which will take ANOTHER WEEK to get here at least. and then i have to MAIL the card to capital one so they'll continue my credit application.

Oh yeah, that Au idea with tiny dragon Radiance didn't get abandoned btw, here's a Hollow concept for that :]

They're fluffy!
