on my knees begging you to please look up “squick” if you don’t know it and help bring it back to fandom space by using it. it’s a valuable word we’re missing that through normalizing could solve some of the more prevalent communication issues.
I love this
My boyfriend was showing me his cat and I leaned over to kiss the cat on his soft little baby head and he went "meow" and scrambled away because I'd been wearing my headphones and I accidentally jabbed him with the microphone.
And I said "Damn, this is exactly like in the Iliad"

Moo Deng Become Ungovernable by StephXstitch
Additional propaganda from the notes: Ungovernable enough that she doesn't need you to vote for her. Which is exactly why you should.
Neon Cicada by BAD Stitch
Propaganda: For the timeliness (year of the cicada and also screaming feels appropo) and how gorgeous those rainbow wings are
Additional Propaganda (from the second submitter): 2024 was the year that two cicada broods awoke from long hibernations and amassed upon North America. This pattern depicts a cicada in a more pleasing, vaporwave palette.
Heyo, I got it done finally. Never mind the lack of backgrounds. Please reblog and leave notes for me to adoringly not know how to respond to.
For the best viewing experience, use desktop and click through the frames like a psuedo-animatic. Some parts get a little confusing on mobile.
EDIT- This has already circulated quite a lot already, but I added a line that I accidentally cut.
Commentary under the cut to avoid clutter.
I had gotten thinking about Avatar the Last Airbender when Zuko confronted Ozai during the eclipse invasion. Zuko gave a little speech, and I took that, made some alterations, and that's what this is.
This also expresses my desire for Hunter to be able to do magic now, because Flapjack is still there, just in a slightly different way.
The fully animated bit was honestly just supposed to be two frames, but I made some posing whoopsies and apparently fixing that required animation. Don't question my logic, it worked out in the end. I'll make a dedicated post for it later, so keep an eye out for that. I just want this to gain some traction first.
jurassic park but it's tiny elephants and nothing goes wrong 🥺
ppl talk about the difficulty of writing characters smarter than yourself, but the real challenge is writing a character who is funnier than you are
god forbid 5000 year old girls do anything
incredible how much housework you can get done if you take a chance and believe in yourself and also have fifteen other much more pressing responsibilities
Nothing will make me laugh harder than Hozier spending an entire verse of First Time being like "my life was saved by the beauty of a bouquet of flowers, do you think flowers realize they're dying once they've been cut? How cruel we are to end the life of something that spent its entire being striving for the simple joy of feeling the sun. Isn't it crazy how they give it their all, trying desperately to be alive and to, if not stave off death, then to go out with beauty and knowing you have nothing left" and then finishing the verse by going "anyways" as if he just said that to you like, in line at the grocery store
with invasive/introduced animal species, there are some that are like "uh oh that is very bad," and there are others that are like "wait hmm. let's see where they're going with this." just based on vibes
