It's gonna be such a funny mess when Donald Trump dies of a stroke on April 1st, 2024.
Naturally everybody will think it's fake because of the date only to lose their minds (both positively and negatively based on their opinion of trump) when realizing it's real
There will be massive celebrations in the streets and on social media and lots of predictable "don't speak ill of the dead" discourse about those celebrations
Weird evangelicals will pull some weird number trick talking about how Jesus was conceived on April 1st and that makes Trump a sort of messiah and people will make fun of that
The Republicans (after they're done with the faux-sadness and faux-outrage) will stomp over each other to be his successor but none of them will succeed. They'll tear each other apart and have no single nominee for the November elections.
There will be discourse about if Biden and the living former presidents should go to his funeral (they won't, he was a traitor insurrectionist)
The Ukraine-Russia War immediately goes in favor of Ukraine as morale in the Kremlin is reduced. China similarly backs off from its threats on Taiwan.
Ten thousand new memes are made, some sticking around for years to come.
Not a month later a bunch of unofficial biographies of Trump hit the bookshelves, many with new details about just how awful he was.

I don't think enough Americans realize just how disastrous Covid was. Over 1 million Americans died in just 2 years. More people died from Covid then the fucking civil war and people seemingly don't give a shit. 1 million deaths. That's horrifying. We need to acknowledge how impactful this has been.

Lemmings don’t jump off of cliffs unless they’re being chased. Frogs don’t stay in boiling water unless they’ve been lobotomized first. Crabs don’t pull each other back into the bucket unless they are desperately and randomly grabbing for anything to try to get themselves out, out of fear for their lives.
Actions taken in specific, negative conditions don’t exemplify the nature of all beings.
Before you mock a sheep for staying with the flock, ask what dogs nip at its heels when it strays too far, and what wolves wait just beyond the edge of the pasture.

Inviane: An umbrella for terms that can only be described by an image. There is no other description or describing the term besides the image itself.
Invi- is the prefix- Invigender refers to genders, inviallion refers to orientations, invidernic refers to aldernicity, and so on.
As there are so many images out there, many of which can be the same thing, naming inviane terms may be difficult. You do not need to make a specific term unless you want to; you're welcome to just use inviane if you want. If you do coin your own, feel free to be creative or use whatever names you want. Furthermore, if you're going to use multiple images, you can call it "mulviane."
Inviane is not inherently part of things like xenogender, allion, etc., but it can be; it just depends on whatever the user personally describes it as, because it's a very subjective experience. Please make sure you use image descriptions for the images you are using, so that disabled people may also use this term.
Example of an invigender:
Invinepgender: A gender that can only be described by this image:

i remember u said you had to unlearn bigotry about robots and/or ai (or maybe it was against kinnies in general),sorry if its rude,but can i ask for examples of what exactly bigotry agiast those groups is like?
I think that we treat robots like slaves, even though that's their purpose. I just don't get why people are so scared of them. I feel like that fear can be seen as bigotry. Fighting against AI becoming sentient, saying their taking away jobs are examples. The latter are the corporation's fault, not the AI. People are exploiting it while the machines are simply doing their jobs. It feels like robots are a scapegoat, something to blame instead of seeing the true issue: exploitation.

I've been seeing a disturbing number of "queer safe spaces" describe themselves as things like "femme & them" and even worse "she+," conflating femininity & nonbinaryhood. cease this immediately. say it with me: nonbinary people are NOT women-lite and it is extremely violent and straight up incorrect to imply that all they/thems are fem adjacent. this is erasure and this verbiage does nothing but make gnc and nonbinary spaces unsafe for masc and male nonbinary people. nonbinary, genderqueer and other third gender people can be and are masculine and men, we can be hes as well as shes and theys, stop allowing yourself and your peers to view nonbinary as woman/femme-lite, signed a butch nonbinary person.

ICE-E real?!?!?
So… ICE-E has an undeniable presence in Deltarune, mainly as a mascot for a pizza chain. He even has magazines, movies, and even could be a… Cryptid? There are many, MANY Deltarune theories, and ICE-E has been unfortunately overlooked by the fanbase as a whole. Probably for the sake of their "sanity", because this rabbit hole goes way deeper than any of us could imagine… And as a person who isn't "sane" to begin with… I'm qualified and willing to delve into this madness and answer the question… Is ICE-E real?
Now before we speculate, here's a disclaimer. Only 2 chapters are out right now. So even if there's a lot of evidence and puzzle pieces, it's still not the full picture. But let's try to collect as much info as possible with what we have so far…
In chapter 1, there's the "ICE-E's Pezza" restaurant next to QC's diner. I know there's an ICE-EE body wash in Kris's bathroom, but I'm not sure if it's relevant in any way. Anyways, once you walk inside, it's a standard pizzeria with a huge, hulking blue entity at the counter. He is known as "The Warrior". Dude is pummeling pizza dough like no one's business. And you'd think he's wearing a mascot costume… But according to Toby, he isn't. Interesting. We'll get to him later. To the right of him, there's an…
Oddly bloody piece of dough, which could just be sauce but I'm covering all my bases here. His dialogue is odd… But it seems irrelevant.
Outside the building on the left, there's Burger-sorry... PIZZApants in a mascot costume. When you interact with him, he seems unwilling to chat and talks to us when he eventually recognizes Kris. After talking about Asriel, (I'm aware of how relevant he is, but he's not the central topic at hand). He mentions that "ICE-E's Pezza is hell." And to "enjoy your freedom, while it lasts."
While this could be Pizzapants complaining about his job, "hell' is mentioned by Jevil; a Darkener that is strongly implied to be connected to Gaster. Once you defeat him, he has this to say: "Soon, the queen returns… And hell's roar bubbles from the depths." While this is 100% about the Roaring and chapter 2's boss, Queen…
It's strange that the specific word "hell" is chosen here. And Burgerpants even says the word "freedom". A word that is intrinsically tied to the secret bosses who are connected to Gaster... On the right side is a pudgy purple mascot. It's a funny Five Nights at Freddy's reference, but I have a sneaking suspicion that they might be more important than we think. No one knows who they are, and Burgerpants isn't even sure if they "even work at ICE-E." Very odd. But wait! There's more!
When you go to Town Hall, Politics bear talks about the purple mascot trying to give him a briefcase and possibly even sneaking into the Mayor's office. According to Halfbreadchaos in their own ICE-E video, this particular item is connected to Gaster. I don't think they're Gaster himself, but this purple guy is definitely working for him. Another very, very interesting lead is the word "nightmare". It's something Jevil says after defeating him…
"A nightmare will awaken in your hearts."
And when you have a FUN value of 56 or 57 in Undertale, the ICE-E crossword puzzle Sans (another person connected to Gaster and Deltarune) asks you to solve now has a weird snowman character on it named: "Nightmare". A certain [number 1 rated salesman 1997], also mentions hell and oddly enough… Pain. Which segues us into…
Chapter 2:
In chapter 2, Spamton says "WAKE UP AND TASTE THE PAIN" during the Spamton NEO fight. Weird. It's also a flavor in ICE-E's Pezza and in the Goner maker. It's even mentioned by a dialogue placeholder in Undertale:
("La la. Wake up and smell the... Pain").
Speaking of dialogue...
One of Spamton's famous phrases is:
"Too many vacation days?!? Take a goddamned vacation straight to hell!!"
Like I mentioned before, "hell" ties back to Jevil and ICE-E. Not to mention that the quote parallels Burgerpants. "I can't go to hell, I'm out of vacation days." I'm not sure what their connection is… I guess I'll have to wait for future chapters to clear things up.
Plus, you can steal an ICE-E statue in Noelle's room. It's definitely ICE-E, but mixed with apparently... Something else. When you and Kris put it in their room, the narrator implies that. Wasn't a good idea. Now, back to "The Warrior." Since I said we'd talk about him later. He ends up in the hospital and his hands are bandaged due to a "pizza-related injury"…
Huh... Hands…
It's probably nothing, and could be a joke… But isn't it weird it's JUST his hands? It's strongly implied that he's a fighter… I don't think burnt hands would really affect him. Plus… Hands are connected to Gaster. "The man who speaks in hands'', the odd spacing in "TAKE IT IN YOUR HANDS." Hell, the wingdings typeface even HAS hands as letters!
(Editing me here: I forgot something else! There's a typing puzzle where you have to spell… Oh god. Giasfelbhreher. I don't know how I was able to spell that first try. Apparently it's ICE-E's catchphrase and it's a word featured in that crossword too. Once you solve it. It glitches. None of the other puzzles do that... It's a minor detail but.. We'll keep this in mind.)
There's no denying the connections here… Even if it seems insane. Now before I continue, I'm gonna get on my soapbox and say... Insanity as a concept just stigmatizes people who experience psychosis and similar things in my opinion. While yes, your mental health can decline and it is important to take care of yourself... I think sanity is just a metric used to shame people and ostracize them. All ideas are welcome, no matter how out there they may seem!
Except maybe Kris being the Knight. I disagree with that, but ultimately it's Toby's decision whether that becomes canon or not. Or Toriel being homophobic because. No. Just. No.
Now back to ICE-E. Remember the movies I mentioned before? Once you return home and Susie ends up staying at Kris's house, she lists horror movies. One of which is ICE-E: The Movie. Wait. Why is there a pizza mascot in a horror movie? Well…
Spamton Sweepstakes
Before we talk about ICE-E and his weird cryptid vibes… I have to mention how insane the Sweepstakes really was. I thought it was just a charity event, but as we all know there were 26 hidden pages on the website.
26!
Toby.
You madlad. I know he didn't release them all at once, but the sheer amount of lore packed in these pages blows my mind! From the chapter 3 leaks to lore about pretty much everyone in the main cast (except Ralsei), it was crazy! But I'm not here to talk about all that… I'm here to talk about the funny ice cube man. Being. Thingy? ANYWAY.
When you click a fake ad on ICEE sightings, you're redirected to a very, very interesting page. It tells us a story about a young Noelle freaking out because she swore an ICEE pizza box winked at her. Dess burns it, and Asriel buries the remains. Which has some. Weird implications. But that isn't the strangest thing on this site. There's an ad that leads to a secret page with 16 cupboards…
16…
6…
Huh. An interesting.
Coincidence.
26 pages, 16 cupboards...
Now back on topic.
There's a few items you can find here. A Ralsei plush, a snippet of the wikipedia page for Super bad and a weird chair that glitches when you interact with it. When you click it again, there's a small chance that a pair of pink and yellow eyes jumpscares you. The same eyes that DEVICE_FRIEND has.
However, that's not what I'm gonna talk about in this video. I'm here to talk about. A gumball machine? Well, Spookydood's video (link in the description) has brought to my attention that this image isn't a stock photo.
It's an original image that has been photoshopped together. Which is weird, right? Spamton even references it. "THOSE [chewed up gumball wrappers]". You know where you can find a gumball machine? ICE-E's Pezza. And I bet that the machine being photoshopped has some significance. Omega ICE-E might be a possibility, but I got my own interpretation. Now that we have the evidence on deck and a topic at hand, let's start theorizing!
Theories and Speculation
Alright, now to take all of our evidence and see what conclusions it gives us.
1. The gumball machine indicates there's some photoshopping element to ICE-E. I don't think it's just a hint to Omega ICE-E. No. I think that ICE-E can also shift his form, like how an editing program changes an image. Remember that statue? And the ICE-E sightings ad? It seems like this guy has many forms and the mascot version is a form he chooses to be more presentable. Considering Gaster's overall presence in the narrative, I think that Gaster is the one that helps ICE-E change forms. Maybe the Warrior is his current form, or the purple guy. Perhaps both. If that's the case, maybe ICE-E is more relevant than we thought. ICE-E's many forms are like Gaster's hands… Enacting HIS will, like how a demon would
2. ICE-E has a clear connection to Gaster. There's some precedent to them working together somehow. The purple mascot could be the vehicle they use to communicate or set things in motion! Maybe it's ICE-E or Gaster himself, but I doubt it's the latter. I think it's the former because Gaster only talks outside the bounds of the game.. As if he himself can't interact with the world of Deltarune, but ICE-E can. I think the mascot was created so he can set whatever plan he has in motion. To control everything in the shadows behind a corporation. He can oversee everything while making sure the game/device (watch Mollystar's video after this one; link in the description) is running. Plus, our funny wingding man doesn't have a form at the moment. And revealing what he looks like so early in the story would kill the mystery that is Gaster. A bit off topic but, I don't think the mystery man is Gaster himself. We don't know if it's him or not and there's a chance that it's just a piece of him. He could be an aspect or a part of Gaster's form, since he was shattered across time and space. So until Toby decides to reveal what the handy man himself looks like, we just have to speculate. Hmmm..
3. Because of what I mentioned above and ICE-E's glitchy nature. Doesn't that connect him to Noelle? I know this seems out of left field but… Think about it. Gaster, glitches, secrets, ice… All of those relate back to Noelle! She has the ability to break games after all, and she lives in one. Maybe ICE-E could be the key to unlock access to the man who speaks in hands or clues about her past? I think so! But I'm not sure how to pin this without saying Halfbreadchaos's video verbatim… But I'll try. I think that ICE-E is drawn to the Holiday family. The pizza box winking at her, the statue, the connections to Gaster. I think he's the cryptid Kris is defending our angel (not the angel) from… So to answer the question, "is ICE-E real?" Yes. But I don't think ICE-E's the one they or us as players should worry about. Not as much anyways. It's almost like he's trying to communicate with our main cast in some way… Slowly letting his presence known in every chapter. Could this be leading up to Noelle fighting him as Omega ICE-E or allying with him to defeat Gaster? We'll just have to wait for the next chapters!

Lets talk about reactions to OCD thoughts
I want to start with a disclaimer that i am not a licensed psychologist by any means, i am not a social worker , i am not a mental health expert. I am a person who has OCD , and is going through ERP therapy , as well as attending several support groups with specialists and other people who have a wide arrange of OCD themes and symptoms .
I think we very much need to talk about desensitization , intrusive thoughts and arousal, as well as what it means to “act on “ or have “proof of “ your OCD thoughts .
There are a ton of great great blogs on here , many that talk about reactions to OCD thoughts. Posts that say “we find them extremely disturbing, incomprehensible , immoral , disgusting and know its something we will never actually do “ . Although i know how important these posts are and how reassuring and positive it can be to remember our values , I can’t help but feel a little distant from these statements. Because after all , what does OCD do after a while ? and what do we do to heal ?
OCD can become meta, it can lead to “well what if i liked this at one point, what if i have/had a porn fetish , what if i had an orgasm and intrusive thoughts came in my head , did i place them there or not, is this proof, what counts as proof– “ A tendency to over analyze and doubt our reactions is very much a symptom, Questioning whether we reacted “correctly “ . Correctly being disturbed , repulsed , anxious. I feel like people with OCD have the tendency to reassure themselves and others by saying “trust me i am disgusted by these thoughts this is why im different then actual – “ . But OCD manages to go after that too doesn’t it ? What about when we get desensitized to the things in our head ? I personally have had intrusive thoughts all my life, i was never repulsed by some of them , and now that i have developed full blown OCD , i am left wondering “ Well i am scared about it now but why wasn’t i back then ? why wasn’t i disturbed ? did i just have no morals at all, was i a terrible person for not being anxious / grossed out ? “ . Not just doubting why you weren’t bothered by mental intrusive thoughts , but also using a lack of reaction to other external things as proof. Like watching murder documentaries or slasher films or even being in an irl horrific event . Let’s say you have Harm OCD , not being disturbed by these subjects just in general might lead you to question having “proof “ that you enjoy the thoughts or want to act on these things. You didn’t have a giant reaction to seeing someone get hurt , so what does this mean for your Harm OCD? is it proof ? These are questions OCD can and will bring up . Desensitization is also EXTREMELY common , years and years of these thoughts and you just do not give a fuck about them anymore and you are just tired and moving a long. See how muddled it can get when trying to use our reactions as indicators ?
Our reactions are not black and white ! Not only that , but think about what ERP is actually trying to get you to do . It gets you to think about the thoughts , think about the most horrific thoughts you have or actions you have done or might have done and lessen your reaction to them . Sit with the anxiety, not argue with yourself if it makes you bad or not. Sit with them and eventually reduce the anxiety , reduce the reaction so you can go about your activities with little mental or physical distress .
I think the line of thinking that we have to be intensely disturbed by our thoughts leads to A LOT of meta OCD within sufferers . People being very uncomfortable about even doing ERP because sometimes learning/practicing how to not be bothered confuses our moralities even more than Being stuck in the OCD cycle. Its absolutely bonkers if you think about it ! OCD makes us disturbed but some of us who struggle with meta OCD are hesitant to go through treatment cause we are almost reliant on distress to let us know we are good. At least when we are anxious we know our values ! So many articles and posts say “actually people with OCD don’t like the thoughts , they hate them and are distressed “ . With all the people i have met and talked to , this fades, this changes , this even causes people to question whether they have ocd if they are just tired , if they actually aren’t that anxious anymore and healing , that becomes a stressor ! You become disturbed about not being disturbed . It needs to be addressed ! I don’t know how exactly to solve this, but i hope people who read posts that say “don’t worry ! you hate the thoughts thats what matters “ , and feel like it doesn’t apply to you , realize your doubt of that is also OCD . Your OCD has just now become obsessive over your varying levels of anxiety , and trying to figure out what that means are your compulsions.
This isn’t very well written, but this distance is something i personally feel , and meta OCD / questioning what actions count as “proof” is very much what ocd can also do , you aren’t alone , and please know that the ERP therapy for meta OCD is still the same process.
We need to talk about this more and be a lot less rigid with what reactions are acceptable. OCD latches onto that and makes us doubt too for so many of us .
Reblogs from ocd and non-ocd blogs would be appreciated , as well as any added thoughts from those with ocd as long as they are respectful.

I remember horrible, disgusting things I've done. But instead of moving on, I'm haunted by my mistakes. I don't think I can be forgiven. I can't know for certain that people will cancel me or hate me for it. It was a few years ago, but by OCD makes everything I've done so significant I feel like I deserve to die. Maybe I'm a bad person. Maybe I'm not. It's hard to admit that because of the gravity of the shit I did. Hell I think it's even latched onto my past lives! I'm trying to get better, but how can I when it was a real memory and it was so bad? I mean... I'll try to but it's hard. I can't ask for reassurance because it'll make everything worse. It's like I'm in quicksand... I'm so glad I'm getting therapy soon.
