Hi Lavender,

It seems you want to play the victim and send "anonymous" hate into people's inboxes and I've tried really hard to be supportive and guide you in some pseudo-soft parent type of way, but I think I really just need to put my foot down here.

1.) What's the point of cutting off people who only ever helped you? Why take constructive criticism as an attack when you've recognized the pointed-out problems on your own and said that you need to stop those behaviours.

2.) You being a minor does not mean you cannot be held accountable for your words and actions. Your words will still reach ears and your actions will always be the flap of a butterfly's wings. And on this note, you are at an age where you are trusted on the road, with a vehicle, with serving people food, with being in charge of those younger than you. You will not be a minor for much longer and you have a lot of growing up to do.

3.) You're nowhere near as slick as you think you are. Posting some "I am God and people must repent" bullshit is so fucking stupid on so many levels. You posted that literally right after you blocked people as if no one would put two and two together. Also, this is really just a bullshit way of highlighting just how fucked up your self-perception is. You're not God, a deity, or some other perfect being; you're just a dude who pushes everyone who supports you away for the sake of dramatic self-isolationism.

4.) I know you've been faking DID/OSDD. We've known and I refused to believe it because I cared about you like you were my daughter. I've spent time and money trying to make sure that you had a safe place to be if things with your parents got any worse. Now I don't really know whether I should have believed anything you said at all. I trusted you with family losses and you just threw everything away for your own self-centred attention-seeking.

5.) Kungpowpenis.

Anonymous asked:

Question, when will you make dry ice chapter 2?

The answer is no clue.

Wish I did, but I guess I'm sort of self-defeating in my writing for a couple of reasons, and this is going to apply to all of my fics, not just Dry Ice.

The first is that I'm currently focusing on education right now, and while I've continued fics while in school, my grades have suffered for it. So as much as I love writing and it helps me to destress, I'm going to prioritize homework and general academics for the semester.

Secondly, and what I think is essential as a writer who openly shares, is that I also focus on the quality of writing. When I started writing, I used to focus so much on how many hits my fics would get, but now that's sort of evolved into a mindset of seeing how many people look at my work and wanting to provide more entertainment/better writing. If I don't think what I'm putting out is "good enough", I won't put it out. It's probably not a healthy mindset, but it has taught me to be more analytical with my writing. Of course, this comes with the downside of not giving myself a consistent posting schedule, as well as jumping from fic to fic as my mind comes up with better plots or better wording of one scene over another.

I want to thank you for asking though, since answering this ask has let me get a bit off my chest and I feel less guilty about not updating as much now that I've provided a bit of an explanation.

a lot of pieces of media will show characters catching fireflies with just their bare hands. in some cases they will just land on the persons fingers. to gently be placed inside of a jar..

for people who live in areas who don’t have fireflies, i want you to know that is not made up or exaggerated for those scenes. fireflies are really like that. they are slow and not cautious at all. while camping i would just walk up to one flying in the air and grab it. and it would sit on my hands like “oh ok.” they are my friends.

also i think it’s funny when fireflies are portrayed as round light bulb-ish shapes. they are skinny.

also their butts are yellow even when not lit up. they’re not just all black until suddenly lighting up yellow! they always got little yellow asses!

they are such friends

fireflies our beloveds <3

Thought people might appreciate this video I got of a firefly that landed on my mom’s ring and sat there flashing for about a good minute or two. They really are just like that

I've had to let a couple people know that fireflies are in fact real.

If you're one of todays lucky ten thousand, i'm happy for you. The world is a marvelous place <3

being aware of the impact of things we can often not think about (like straws) is important if we’re to make strides on environmental preservation 

that does not eclipse the importance of being aware of how it impacts disabled people. they’re both conversations we need to have

and on top of this ableism, banning plastic straws won’t do shit for the environment because straws aren’t even close to being the main cause of plastics pollution. Calling for a ban on straws is the same bs of shifting the blame of pollution onto the general public when its massive corporations, businesses and governments as a result of capitalism that is to blame. Disabled people shouldn’t have to be thrown under the bus so you can feel better about the environment without having to do actually do anything of worth.

Always Remember

Ghanaian artist Kwame Atoko-Bamfo created several sculptures in a lake to remember our ancestors who drowned as they were transported through the Atlantic Sea during slavery. 

hey I wonder what happens if I put powdered milk into carbonated water

my cereal is loud and it's demanding to know why I would sin against both nature and god so thoughtlessly

...how does it taste?

the fizz comes from carbonic acid in the water splitting up into CO₂ and H₂O over time. And carbonic acid is – as an acid – sour.

By adding milk to sour water you've created a very convincing emulation of spoiled milk, so I'll believe in a heartbeat that the taste is Not Great™.

I have mastered the potion: Instant Spoiled Milk, therefore earning the rank of shittiest alchemist currently alive.

Not only should abortions be legal, they should be free and we should encourage people of all genders to have one.

Tumblr will allow Catholics to proselytize, but abortion is bad.

I love how "a glitch on our end" can mean anything from "the code went funny" to "we've updated our Blaze guidelines and hereby declare the old ones a 'bug'"

It's a very good generic template for situations they fixed manually! Kudos to whoever came up with it, most sites wouldn't want to explicitly say they have 'glitches' quite so often.

we really devolved as a society when we stopped using fully painted pictures on romance novels and started using cheap photoshop instead 

case in point

this is a Hell of a downgrade 

worst crime capitalism ever committed was eliminating Horny Oil Painter as a viable career option.

So great news actually the horny oil painter style is starting to make a comeback with millennials who’re into adult romance novels, but not in the way you expect!

Anna Moshak is the artist!

For context, they discovered Younglings can be hit but not hurt, meaning you can air combo them to get arbitrary height and distance if you do it right, so this can be used to cross any open space for speed running

Artist removes 1 inch off the peak of England’s highest mountain; Brits want their inch back.

It is still England’s highest mountain, but Scafell Pike is ever so slightly smaller now after an artist stole the top inch of the summit to display in a gallery.
Oscar Santillan, 34, was accused of vandalism after removing the stone pinnacle of the 3,209ft Lake District peak for an exhibition in London.
Ian Stephens, managing director of Cumbria Tourism, said: “This is taking the mickey and we want the top of our mountain back.”
