Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.
I’m curious as to where you all stand
Reblog for demographics!
I feel this would be a much stronger (and less misleading) poll if the phrasing was, "I support it and will be boycotting stuff if they ask me to."
Because Sag-Aftra isn't asking for a boycott at this time, and boycotting prior to them asking for one could actually hurt them in the long run. A boycott during a strike isn't step one, it's the thing you hold over the heads of those you're striking against so you can say, "You think us not working is bad for business? Wait until we ask those who support us to stop buying your product / cancel their subscriptions."
I heard that if the shows that are currently coming out do well it gives the writers/actors more leverage because companies should theoretically want them back more than if everything bombs. Plus if we all start boycotting now then if the guild does ask us to down the line the rating drop won't be nearly as significant. If the guild asks for a boycott I absolutely will participate, but until they ask us to do that I don't see how it's actually beneficial to the strike. If anything bumping up the numbers a little before the potential boycott might have shareholders squirming a little extra when that dip does happen.

Mario creepypasta fundamentally doesn't work because you know what Mario would actually do if we saw some dimension-warping hundred-handed cosmic horror? He wouldn't lose his mind; he'd take one look at that Shin Megami Tensei looking fucker, pull out his dorky little mushroom-shaped cell phone, hit the fourth number down on his contact list, and go "hey, Kirby, I think-a one-a your boys got lost".
"Or he'd just fight it himself" no, he would not, for two reasons:
- This represents a fundamental misunderstanding of Mario's central plot structure. Mario always gets his ass beat in his initial encounter with an outside context problem, then spends the bulk of the game going around gathering allies and kicking the legs out from under the outside context problem's support structure.
- This sort of thing clearly falls into another protagonist's idiom, and Mario is a union man – he's not going to scab on Kirby. Perish the thought!
"I wouldn't take-a the food from another video game mascot's plate!"
"I don't think Kirby gets paid for this."
"That's-a not what I said."

people on this site will just see "belly" or "tummy" and black out and reblog

aaaaa omg a coworker just came to my desk like "oh, you changed your name? me too, look!--" and pointed out her badge and then her ringless hand and gleefully announced, "divorce!!" and we exchanged congratulations and fist bumped djdnsnjs best interaction of my entire transition
Not an Aro-culture-is thing but I do have a question you might be able to answer? Is there an aromantic/asexual term for this: AroAce but if I wasn’t I would be gay? It might just be homoplatonic or homoaesthetic but idk if there was a term for it that relates to being AroAce. Thanks! <3
possibly you might vibe with oriented aroace labels, like gay aroace? i'll put this out there for other folks to consider as well, but I feel like oriented terminology sounds the most applicable from my POV.
they pay him in woims
i might go back to making silly stuff like this. it cheers me up a lot.

A faerie introduces himself. Then, holding out a hand, asks, “And your name, please?”
And, like a fool, you give it to him.
I got asked for clarification on this (but can’t reblog that particular post cuz on mobile), which I’m more than happy to provide.
In this post, a faerie is asking for ‘your’ name. The way he is wording it, however, and the accompanying beckoning motion, makes it seem as though he is asking for you to physically hand your name over. Which, because of how some faeries operate, he is.
In this instance, saying your name aloud to the fae would be literally giving your name over to him, the exact consequences of which are left up to the imagination–usually, a fae even knowing your name gives it some measure of power over you, but giving something your name would likely let it completely take over your life.
In this instance, the wording you want to use is something like “I will not give you my name, but I will tell you that it’s [name].” Alternately, you can just lie to him.
Might i suggest the less direct yet still name-preserving “you may call me…”? It dodges the request while still giving an answer of a name, which does not even have to be yours, but any name you feel like telling the fae they can use to refer to you. I would recommend “Ainsel”.
The first time he asks for your name is the first time you meet him. He appears as you walk by the færie ring, that you have not entered because your grandmother has repeated so many times not to do so, and, curious of your presence, watches as you jump when you notice him.
You recognize him instantly. It is the Fæ whose influence your village is under, the one the elders have told you and your friends to be wary about, for the people who have been seen walking away with him have never come back.
You don’t know what he does to them. The villagers have never dared to confront him about it, never dare to address to him at all. He is not evil: he sometimes speaks blessings upon the cattle, talks the horses to calm after a storm, ensures a good harvest for the farmers, makes the flower bloom in spring even when the weather is still too cold. He is, simply, a Fæ, whose ways humans cannot understand.
Hello!! not sure if you'll remember me but I'm the person that messaged you here a while back to tell you that i was working on a uni project about turning your fae one shot into an animation pre-production. Just passing by to share with you how my own versions of Lasair and Aed have turned out so far since i told you i'd keep you updated!! Hope you like them and have a nice day <3 :)
OOOOOOOOOOH LOVE THE DESIGNS!! <3 <3 I LOVE YOUR ART!
I hope your project and that uni in general is going well! Thank you so much for keeping me updated!!!
hey netizens! i'm not sure how many people are aware, but youtube's been slowly rolling out a new anti-adblock policy that can't be bypassed with the usual software like uBlock Origin and Pi-Hole out of the gate
BUT, if you're a uBlock Origin user (or use an adblocker with a similar cosmetics modifier), you can add these commands in the uBlock dashboard (under My Filters) to get rid of it!

Also, isn’t one of Hank’s main character traits “holds grudges for decades”?
Also the idea that we can learn a lot about socialism through the colony of hive minded insects. Because that’s the way society should be run, I guess.
What an absolute clusterfuck of a film.
