I've just started Love Between Fairy and Devil and I feel so bad for Dongfang Qingcang. He is trying so hard to be a scary evil overlord and Xiao Lanhua is just Not Letting Him.

It's the funniest shit. They're living in such different genres, it's the best thing ever.

Every fear avatar experiencing the most fucked up traumatic thing, dying and getting thier powers like Jude Perry literally sets herself on fire. Mike Crew jumps out of the window. Oliver literally dies because a satellite fell on him.

Meanwhile Peter Lukas some dude smiled at him in public.

Christmas as a cultural icon is starting to get really dystopian in a climate sense, december has historically been a time of year in which there would be snow in a significant portion of europe and north america, and the fact that its not even icy this time of year and all the christmas songs and decorations reference a time of year that will likely never exist in the same way again in my life time is so strange.

(Stares in bewildered Australian) And?

I swear to fucking god if I see another post about someone from the southern hemisphere saying shit like this. No one on Tumblr is capable of understanding when someone is talking about their own experience and be normal about it. I don't even really give a shit about the Christmas side of this just that climate change has gotten so bad that there is no longer ice in Scotland in December and you should be worried about that actually. Imagine if people came on here being like I don't give a shit about Australian wildfires because it doesn't effect me

youtube isn't going to win against the spite of the people. everyone's collective anger at no adblock will produce unimaginable amounts of solutions to the problem

ublock folks have been so fast at countering google it literally feels like im watching a chess game

I literally have experienced zero ads or warning messages on YouTube throughout this entire debacle, and I am constantly on YouTube. Even on mobile, no ads, no bitching about how adblockers aren't allowed. I wouldn't even know this was happening if it weren't for all the tumblr posts about it.

Mullvad + VPN + Firefox + uBlock for the win. 🙌

[Image ID. Two digital comics based on the Scum Villain fan fiction Shen Yuan of No Relation. The first is a coloured comic that shows two scenes; one of Shang Qinghua watching Shen Yuan and Lou Binghe and thinking,

"How dare this random self-insert steal all the bullying from my son! How will he become badass now!?"

The second shows Shen Qingqiu watching a similar scene between the two (and Ning Yingying) while thinking,

"How dare the little beast protect The Child from bullying. How will he learn to survive now!?"

The second is a five panel monochrome comic.

Panel 1: Shen Yuan stepson a rake, hitting himself in the face while Shen Qingqiu and Ming Fan watch in the background.

Panel 2: Shen Qingqiu smirks behind his fan. Ming Fan rolls his eyes and says,

"Ugh, how incompetent. How will he ever manage off the mountain?"

Panel 3: Shen Qingqiu looks thoughtfully at Shen Yuan, kneeling on the ground and clutching his nose.

Panel 4: A close up on Shen Qingqiu's face as he realizes-

"He will fucking die"

Panel 5: Shen Yuan holds his sword with pure delight sparkling in his eyes. Shen Qinqiu grips Shen Yuan's shoulder in one hand and his fan in the other, staring at his disciple intensely. He says,

"You will spend every second of the next few weeks becoming at least mediocre with that thing or so help me I will kill everyone on this peak and then myself"

the last part, "and then myself" is in strike through text.

End ID.]

Yes this is art for the same fic twice in a row but like. Consider.

The child will cause trouble. It is a simple fact. Every day does the boy stumble upon it, as if possessed by a spirit of misfortune. At the sect, it is a flaw which he can mock him for. Outside, it is one that may become fatal. 

@grubus has written an objectively very good SQQ & SY dynamic and it has entranced me.

does anyone else think it’s crazy how we just casually reference “the pandemic” now. i catch someone in conversation saying “during the first quarantine…” and as comfortable as it feels to hear and say now, there’s still a twinge of like…. i cannot believe we’re using these words in real life in reference to real events. this isn’t a scifi movie this isn’t a young adult post apocalyptic novel we’re literally casually discussing a global pandemic that ravaged the entire world and it was REAL ?

you keep saying it like this is a past event, that the pandemic ravaged the entire world, that it was real, etc

The pandemic is still ongoing—hospital admissions jumped 16% in the United States last week, and 30% in my state, as of 9/7/23.

BA.2.86 is on the uptick and we're not 100% sure if the fall vaccines we've made will be effective because once again

we were such eager beavers for the "emergency" to be over, we shut down the metaphorical fire suppression system before the fire department even arrived so we BUNGLED the response to an emergency, and then MORE fire spread to more floors because there was no fire suppression and hey guess what the fire department finally arrived but the building is still fucking burning.

The pandemic is real. Actively real. The most vulnerable people in our communities are still at incredible risk. And yet the world chugs on.

So just a casual reminder, when we speak about the pandemic in past tense: the disaster is not over yet, the only thing we've actually stopped is our disaster response.

Id: a reply from @beannachd reading "First wavers are now dying of Long COVID with immune panels that look like active AIDS. We are in another surge. Our lows, since spring of 2022, have not dipped below the high of Delta, exXcept for one & 1/2 weeks in June. We are only 3.5 years in. We are in the midst of another surge, hospitals are full, pediatric hospitals have never recovered the staff to pre-2020 levels. This is ongoing. Now. Not past, in any sense of the word. Mask up. N95 or better. 100% of the time while in public". end ID.

I looked up the HIV similarity thing, and it's real. Which really should make more people take it seriously, given that you can catch this virus just by breathing.

Please wear a mask. A well fitted N95/kn94 in the best way to stop the spread, and protect yourself and others. COVID does not spread through just droplets, it is airborne, meaning simple face covers and social distancing are not effective enough.
