I'm not 100% sure what this is but I sure made it.

there was no perfect path. you did not get punished. your life did not unravel when you made a left turn. the memory will always be there. you can visit whenever you want. there is no alternate timeline where you made a better choice and got a happier ending. you were a little girl chasing the ice cream truck, playing hopscotch, swinging and aiming for the never ending blue. yes, the grief was waiting up ahead. but so was the miracle of saturdays in a car headed wherever you wanted to go. enough sky to wrap around every wound. friends who, despite your perennial bouts of silence, kept an ear close at all times.

To other autistic people, have others ever tried to make you feel bad for being so passionate about a special interest?

Yes. But when I grew up it was never called my "special interest(s)" it was called "being obnoxious about nerd shit"

working as a writer on star wars related stuff after george lucas had to be hilarious because you've got this incredibly serious edgy character you wrote and suddenly george is like "pick between these two names: Darth Perverse or Darth Enormous"

As my brother, a big SW fan, has told me, the names are part of the identity.

on Darth Insanius

I see everyone focusing in on Darth Icky and concluding this must be a joke, which is fair, but I have to emphasise: when someone offers a choice this bad, it's almost always because they're trying to push you into the slightly more reasonable option

george was trying to get them to name him Darth Insanius.

internat habits that are good to learn

I am the same except in the last panel where instead I think this

You guys seemed to enjoy the last batch of shitposts so here are some more, fresh from the oven

Sorry for the low quality on some of these, imgflip is trash

briefly forgot my brother is playing baldur’s gate and thought i’d fallen into some sort of wormhole

i don’t think people realize how much of modern life we owe to ball bearings everyone say thank you ball bearings

literally what can’t she do

this came across kinda jokey but like genuinely so much of the things we can do today are thanks to ball bearings and i hope whoever invented them got mad pussy and excellent head for the rest of their life

EVERYONE SAY THANK YOU TO PHILIP VAUGHAN AND THE WELSH

elon musk is literally like a parody. like he cant genuinely fucking be like this like bro is on some satirical depiction of a spoiled rich kid type shit. like hes a cartoon evil rich guy. throwing tantrums bc someone criticized him or said they didnt like him. spending billions of dollars to buy an app and then changing the app every time someone uses a feature of the app to insult him or hurt his feefees. dude straight up does the cartoon steam blowing out of ears train whistle shit irl every time someone says anything mean to him or is transgender but whats terrifying is he has enough money to do anything he wants and millions of chuds who would gladly no homo suck his cock every night before he goes to bed. like. how has someone come to be like this. why has this been allowed to happen why was he created

i think most rich guys are actually more like elon than they aren't, they all have simpering fanclubs online but enough haters to keep them up at night. i've seen a good half-dozen "richest man in X country" instagram accounts litigating their personal beef with some obscure shitposter who won't stop trolling them. they run the world but everyone doesn't love them so they're not happy

this is the richest guy in africa and his mortal enemy, a bored brazilian man

I love and respect you Osvaldo12

easiest explanation i have for pronouns that "don't make sense" (neopronouns, he/him lesbians, etc) is that a person's pronouns are basically just a nickname we use for that person so we don't have to constantly say their name when talking about them. a person's pronouns also tend to have an association tied to them, which is usually an indication of their gender. that said, much like how your nickname can mean whatever you want it to mean, your pronouns can mean whatever you want them to mean. and, with enough practice, if you can remember that someone has a nickname, you can also probably remember their pronouns too (no matter what they are)

even shorter explanation: you can do whatever you want forever

I don’t consider utena a lady knight but a girl prince and also she is 14. The imaginary difference in my mind despite definite aesthetic overlaps is that a girl prince wants to be the sun and a girl knight wants to be the moon. It goes without saying that the planet earth in this situation is also girls. Naturally. By the way tumblr mobile app create post button straight up doesn’t work for me anymore but this act of divine intervention won’t hinder me because I’m going into my drafts and just editing posts to make my new ones. I have 2300+ drafts. Good luck trying to get me to run out

local ff14/utena blogger reinvents homestuck active/passive classpect roleplay dynamics from first principles. anyway i agree with you completely

East Asian fanartists are starting to migrate back to Tumblr because Twitter is insane, toxic, and dying, and what we're NOT going to do is let the fucking exclusionists get them, do you hear me? We are not going to let a bunch of feral idiots try to apply the most myopic version of puritanism to foreign artists we're not we're not we're not. Form an armed brigade if you have to, do you hear me. We're not going to bully the artists who may or may not even speak English because we have our precious standards of moral purity. If we see art that makes us uncomfy we're going to block the artist and tumblr savior their name so we don't have to see them again AND WE'RE GONNA MOVE THE FUCK ON.

Important note for mobile users, you don't actually need tumblrsavior to do this!

All you need to do is go to your account settings, scroll to "Filtered post content" and input their username. This will filter

I always thought this option was common knowledge, but apparently it's not..? It's especially useful since new users and artists who don't speak english are notoriously inconsistent about tagging, which normally means their posts slip between the cracks with the "filter tags" settings.

Another thing I recently realized you should do is look up the translation of various ship names in other writing systems, since they might not use the english equivalent. Also, remember that depending on character dynamic and "who tops", the order of the names in the shipname gets swapped! So you actually have to block two tags per ship. Alright happy filtering MWAH!!

#not sure how related to the post this is so I'm leaving it in the tags#but CP is a common abbreviation for the word ''couple'' over in Chinese and Japanese corners of the Internet#maybe some other languages too#point is it does not mean child porn#so we're clear#discourse

This is important enough to not only get peer reviewed but that I wish it had its own post with a thousand reblogs honestly.

the russians are being way cooler and more eloquent than me on my own post. i fucking love this.

fucked up how colors look different depending on what screen you’re looking at them on. that should be illegal I think

this fucking shit, you know

I spend so much time carefully picking and adjusting the colors in every single drawing I make that I’d probably lose my mind if I didn’t just repeatedly push this out of my memory and pretend it’s not a thing. Why am I reblogging a blank empty post that doesn’t say anything??? Weird

good news! you can’t make sure that everyone will see the correct colors on their own device, but you can make sure your monitor is as accurate as possible for printing and sharing by calibrating it! 

there are a bunch of free monitor tests, but here’s an easy one you can use. the passmark and eizo tests are also pretty good, though passmark doesn’t work in your browser. be warned that some tests may cause eye strain.

you can either use the settings built into your monitor itself or use the display color calibration settings in your operating system to adjust the settings until everything looks correct, and then enjoy your accurate colors.

For years I would look at posts and questionnaires about neurodivergence that takes about being so focused on something that you forgot to eat and be like, "Couldn't be me. Being hungry is so uncomfortable! Your stomach is growling and cramping? How do you ignore that?"

Then someone informed me that neurotypical people have a whole bunch of "hungry" sensations before they get to that point.....

They what

Yeah, I don't get it either, but apparently this is a Whole Thing.... Like they somehow detect blood sugar dropping and go, "Ooh, time for lil snack!"

See also: there is a feeling of "oh, I need to pee" that happens before "fidgeting around in my seat to finish this thing before running to the bathroom"

I read this and was like, "this can't be real" and then I looked for sources and like--

WHAT??????

what the fuck
