soaps for saps

compelled yesterday to make a zine about a lifetime of being a contrarian little shit sketched left-handed and inked right (ow)

Duck Amuck | Director: Chuck Jones | Studio: Warner Bros. | USA, 1953

NOT ME YOU SLOP ARTIST

This is a close up? A CLOSE UP YA JERK! A CLOSEUP!

Alright, let’s get this picture started! (The End) NO NOOOOO!

One of the defining moments of animation history.

“Ain’t I a stinker?”

In Babylon 5, didn’t one of the non-humans think Daffy was the god of frustration?

Holy shit, this is nearly 70 years old. This would have been right on the heels of color television being commercially available to the public.

@amayatepes look at this

LMAO

Huh. That’s just a whole ass Daffy Duck cartoon.

Everything about this cartoon is top-notch. The timing, the animation (watch Daffy’s different walks) the art; this is a treasure

This has ALWAYS been one of my favorites!

All those fics where Jaskier is sold to or given to the witchers via law of surprise is just our fandom's version of "my mom sold me to one direction" and I'm tired of pretending like it's not.

heart eye cat meme

whats the fucking point of having laws if people can keep making led headlights

hey Neopets can you explain why you have an unreleased petpet that's just a human man on all fours

you can take your time but I do need an answer

I can't be the first to make this connection

y'all slept on the first chart but I will make the world see my vision

...Can I add this

I'm sorry but why was this the post where I learned some rich lady fell in love with the Grinch

one of the most infuriating things about becoming an adult is when you realize that it actually is 10x easier to solve problems by making a phone call vs literally any other communication method

It IS true that being on here gives you a tumblr accent. This morning my mother asked me something and i replied "i don't know i've never heard these words in that order" and she nearly choked laughing. It wasn't even that funny

at my old job i had a coworker who was tired and made a coffee with like 6 or 8 shots of espresso and i just casually went up to them like “are you trying to meet god?” and not only was this absolutely hilarious to them but they brought it up in future conversations they thought it was so funny but to me this was just as casual as saying “woah that’s a lot of coffee”

Being funny on Tumblr and then going to be funny in real life is like traveling to a foreign country and baby the currency exchange rate is biased in your favor

unemployment is the top worst thing to happen to a girl right next to having a job

disgusts me deeply to say it but 30 dollars is basically the new 20 dollars

This is what happened when a fanfic site is profit driven. Wattpad sucks 😞

The email from Wattpad is so condescending imagine pressuring writers to update and work while they are doing it for free and fun. Also the discovery? Algorithm? Of Wattpad looks like a stressful popularity contest 😑

Hey I just wanna quickly say that you only get these if someone reports the story. I've barely updated on Wattpad in the past two years and haven't gotten any of these, mostly because I don't even have an audience over there who has the potential or drive to report my fics. So, corporate greed is bad, yes, but it's also readers being buttheads

Hmm, that's interesting! You know what happens if someone reports a story for being incomplete on AO3? Jack shit, because not churning out content for your fun little hobby is not a reportable offense on AO3! And that's because, unlike Wattpad, AO3 isn't profiting off of your work, either directly or indirectly, and so when readers are buttheads, the AO3 abuse mods ignore them, instead of sending out weird automated messages harassing writers for daring to have a wip.

Wattpad has gone to the dogs with greed. paywall and restrictions are also stupid insane, I used to love Wattpad until I couldn't read without an add every two chapters, and having to go offline just to avoid the unskipable minute long adds when Im trying to read to decompress, not to mention the library restrictions without a subscription is insane, I use AO3 for everything and AO3 has a working app now too!

And I stopped writing on Wattpad because I kept getting DMs constantly about how my updates weren't fast enough or my OC should have a different character trait to fit the readers likes, the ranking and rewards system also felt like it was turning the writings into a competition rather than being able to just do it for fun.

hey I'm sorry I know this is about wattpad, but I'm using this as a moment to make a public service announcement. this not solely directed at prev (although it is also partially directed at prev) and I want to be clear that there is 100% no reason that you're expected to know this, I am not blaming anybody for being fooled

AO3 doesn't have an official app

AO3 is optimized to run in your mobile browser, because they don't really have the people, time, money to spare developing and maintaining an app.

if you're using an app on your phone or tablet to access AO3 it's 100% an unofficial third-party app, and not by the Organization for Transformative Works.

if it says 'official' app, its still not one. it's an unofficial app. they are lying. they're using the logo and everything, too, but they are not an official AO3 app. I found two like this, and I had to look to find the 'we are an unofficial app'.

for the sketchiness of that alone, I would recommend deleting the app and changing your AO3 password. I'm not your dad, I can't tell you what to do, this is just advice that's intended to be helpful and friendly.

I know a lot of the internet doesn't work well in the mobile browser but I swear AO3 works great! You can even make your own skins to change how the page looks for you! (Or use skins that other people have made, there's lots out there!) Or you can download the fics and use them in an ereader of your choice, if you prefer.

just be really careful, because this AO3 app situation comes up every now and again. sometimes it's well-meaning fans, sometimes it's not.

if AO3 ever does put an app out- which is not on the roadmap as far as I'm aware- you'll be able to find lots of information about it on the AO3 website, confirming that it's genuine will be easy-peasy.

okay, love you, bye!

From what I remember, Ao3 cannot put an app out because that would require them to comply with every app store's terms and limits regulating what content they can and can host. You know... the reason that basically every other social media app has since nuked their population of nsfw content producers. Unless legislation comes down on the apple app store, which it never will in this current climate, it's never happening.

What do you believe in now?

So I just saw a post by a random personal blog that said “don’t follow me if we never even had a conversation before” and?????? Not to be rude but literally what the fuck??????????

I’ve had people (non-pornbots) try to strike conversation out of nowhere in my DMs recently, and now I’m wondering if they were doing that because they wanted to follow me and thought they needed to interact first. I feel compelled to say, just in case, that it’s totally okay to follow this blog (or my side blog, for that matter) even if we’ve never talked before.

Also, I’m legit confused. Is this how follow culture works right now? It was worded like it’s common sense but is that really a thing?

Saw a sharp increase in my follower count after posting this. The legitimacy of it is driving me nuts so I also feel the need to say that you can follow anyone on here regardless of whether you’ve interacted with them or not. People like the above mentioned blog are exceptions. Perhaps they themselves think they aren’t and therefore will act like they aren’t, but they are, trust me.

Just follow anyone you wanna follow. The worst thing that can happen is maybe getting soft-blocked by the other person, but if they do soft-block you, then they were never that worth following in the first place.

wow. really hope this isn't actually a norm taking hold with new users! this isn't facebook, you don't need to know people before following them

this is the '10 year mutuals you've never spoken to once' site

Fuck it we bawl (starts sobbing uncontrollably)
