Commission Post!

i wrote a short thing because I wanted to explore the idea of how Gollum met Shelob but it was a little too much work to make that into a memey comic.

Hackers...

Hi, been a hot minute, but

its more of an instagram fiasco, however it wouldn’t hurt to post it here too.

All of this, for bitcoin and money. Greed is truly a horrid thing. Below are screenshots of this guys cashapp and the fake post he made on my friends account. I may be too hopeful, but I’m hoping they get caught and are also charged with identity theft. Pretending to be my friend to hack others he knows and those who follow him… I’m heated.

Be safe, guys.

Another thing, please just block the account if you have an instagram. My bud is in the process of getting it back, but all we can do to stop this guy in their tracks is block the account anywhere it goes.

hey! donate to uk trans charities today because it’s gonna be a rough one

Full roster of Multiversus characters

Hey, when I was a kid a twenty-something with the cartoon-rotted mind of a rat-brained child, I used to read lots of screenshot-style Let's Plays. (for anyone unfamiliar with the format, it's like a video let's play with commentary, only instead of a video it's a bunch of images from the game and the commentary is in the form of text. Essentially it's like a very long, comprehensive, full-spoilers written review.) I had a grand time corrupting my mind with Darkseed and Harvester without having to actually play them.

Long have I considered making a screenshot let's play of my own, but did not encounter a game that was quite compelling enough. ahem. until now. thinking of doing a screenshot let's play of gollum game, because there's stuff in the game I'd love to scream into the void about but I wouldn't want to do a video commentary - one reason being because I am running the game on the minimum visual settings and it would look as bad as it can possibly look, another being that it's such an intensely dialog-heavy game that I would either be talking over things that you really should be hearing, or pausing the footage in order to talk & blowing up the video length to like 30 hours & creating an editing nightmare for myself.

if I did this it would be posted as pages on my blog like the fanfic image gallery- I would not be posting spoilery commentary on your dash, I would be posting links to where you can read the full installment, probably accompanied by spoiler-free doodles. (I know the game's been out for nearly three weeks and people who would really care about spoilers have had time to watch playthroughs, but I still don't want to post spoilers because what if people just haven't gotten around to watching it yet or something. it's not a massive game but it's also not something so short you can just catch up on it right away on a whim on your lunch break)

a screenshot let's play would be just enough of a time investment that i was sort of hoping someone would indicate a little bit of interest before I actually do anything. not a ton of interest- honestly one (1) like on this post would probably be enough to convince me. if you do not want me to do a screenshot lets play please do not interact with this post, ty

edit: I am hearing some interest so this is now an announcement post! It will be a while before I post anything though, I am going through a second playthrough first to explore dialog options, look for little things I missed & decide on: 1) which dialog choices I will want to make in my official playthrough 2) whether there's enough story divergence to be worth tentatively planning an abbreviated second run playthrough, or if I can cover the game adequately by just giving a brief aside/summary of what happens when you choose the other options if you know the answer to this pls dont tell me! i'm still enjoying exploring the game for myself

So I will probably not start posting my let's play for a few weeks, unless I get really sick of doing productive things & binge this whole game this weekend, which isn't an impossibility.

The first 'real' episode of my Let's Play is now up!

Chapter 2 will be posted on the 23rd if nothing interferes.

Update (3)Help Us survive the winter cill 🥶😥

‏Among the rubble in Gaza, a little boy sat on the muddy ground as wind and rain blasted him in the face from a gaping hole of his family’s tent. The shrapnel from the recent bombing has punctured the tent in multiple places, and the heavy rain pours in, flooding their shelter and destroying their meagre belongings.

‏The boy does not remember what being dry, or warm, feels like. He shivers as the icy wind tears through the tent once more. Cold has sunk its teeth deep into his bones.

‏He has no coat, no blanket. When their house was bombed, they had left all their belongings behind, thinking only of escape and surviving the night.

‏When his mother left before the sun even rose to search for basic necessities, the boy asked her for two things: food, and a coat. Now, after 10 hours, his mother returns. There is not enough money to buy both food and winter clothes. Last night, the boy’s sister could not sleep because her stomach hurt too much from hunger. The mother chose to buy food.

‏She only managed to buy a few small pieces of bread with the money she has, not enough for one person each. She tells her children to eat the bread slowly, to make it last as long as possible. There is not enough money, so this is all they can eat for the day.

‏They sleep, rain dripping on their trembling bodies.

‏When morning comes, the boy does not wake. The cold has rooted inside his bones and has claimed him forever. His father kisses his son for the last time and his mother wails, her grief louder than even the howling wind.

‏If the little boy asks you to donate some money to save his life, would you do it? You, who are wrapped in warm clothes, who have a blanket to sleep under, a roof to shelter yourself from the rain. You, who have 3 meals a day, who can make or buy hot tea whenever you want to, who can go to bed with a full stomach. Children in Gaza are now freezing to death, deaths that might have been prevented if they had had warm clothes, a shelter, blankets, and food. As you hesitate on whether you should donate to a family in Gaza pleading for help, there are families bidding their farewells to their young children who have died of the cold.

‏Your support can mean life or death. If we are here asking for help, it means we are still alive. We need your support now. Please do not wait until we are dead.

DEAF AWARENESS

 if someone is not responding to you, they may not be just acting rude. They may actually not be able to hear you

 when you find out out someone is deaf, please try not to let the first words that come out of your mouth be “I’m sorry.” or “I could never live like that.” Deafness is not some terminal illness that we suffer through everyday.

 If you see someone struggling to communicate, please do not make them the center of attention. Trust me. The last thing I want when I can’t understand is someone pointing out that I can’t understand.

 if someone is struggling to communicate, and you know sign language, please ASK before you start interpreting. Yes, we appreciate the kind offer, but not everyone is comfortable with some stranger intervening. Also, not all deaf people know sign. 

-When you see someone with hearing loss jamming to their music in public, and you can hear it, please do not ask them to turn it down. It’s really ruse, considering it may just be loud enough for them to hear it or feel the vibrations.

 NEVER cover your mouth and ask if we can hear/understand you.It’s really insensitive. Most of the time, reading lips is very important for people who are deaf to communicate.

 Obviously, never ask how they get and keep their jobs. I feel like I shouldn’t have to explain this one.

Do not, DO NOT, under any circumstances, encourage or promote the use of technical devices such as hearing aids or cochlears to ANY deaf person. Many of us struggled with these devices as children. As we get older, we start to decide for ourselves if we want to use them. I respect people who their devices, but i do not respect hearing people who know nothing about them suggesting them.

 do not ask “if you’re deaf, how can you speak so well?” It’s basically the same kind of thing as above. many deaf children are fitted for hearing aids/cochlears and sent to speech therapy the minute their hearing parents find out. Some deaf people can speak, some people can sign and speak, and some can sign. It’s honestly their choice, and sometimes it’s not a choice.

if there’s anything else that you want to know, but just for a slight moment you think “I don’t want to come across as rude,” DO NOT ASK.

Thank you for reading. The Deaf Community would love it if these were actually followed. :)
