“I don’t care about dumb weed jokes,” I said naively, before I saw this
✨OKAY!✨
After working on this story for many months with my co-author @3lectricinsomnia I’m thrilled to say that it’s FINALLY finished!
It ended up being a lot longer than anticipated, and it was definitely a challenge trying to tackle the whole thing, but I had a lot of fun working on it with her and collaborating with @marshofsleep who has PHENOMENAL ART right here! Definitely go check it out if you’re interested!
I’m so glad that I joined Resbang this year, it was such an amazing experience and I really encourage you to check out all the other works that are posted and coming up soon :D
Fic info under the cut:
My art for Madd's wonderful fic Scientific Method it's very very good, go read it and have some feels about a walnut asking everyone around him "What is love?" It's written in a very interesting way that sits you in comfortably in Stein's brain and I am impressed by how despite the short interactions between Stein and most of his interviewee's are you get a ton of personality come through in all of them.
Pairings: Stein/Marie, Stein & Crona, other minor pairings (SoMa, Kim/Jackie, DeathStar, Liz/Tsubaki) Rating: Gen (PG-13)] Warnings: Trauma, Self-Doubt, PTSD, a dissection scene
Summary: Hypothesis: If you love someone, you will try and keep them out of harm. Stein is conducting experiments to see if he's in love, and along the way, learns so much more.
Terrible Things
Collaborating authors: @teaableu and @3lectricinsomnia Artist: @marshofsleep
Pairings: Black Star/Death the Kid, Soul/Death the Kid, Soul/Maka, Tsubaki/Liz, Stein/Spirit Rating: M Warnings: Major/main character death, graphic depictions of violence, language, gore, blood, PTSD, anxiety, dissociation, references to/mentions of self harm, potential suicidal thoughts, bullying Summary: 21 years ago, Maka Albarn defeated the Kishin Asura, restoring balance to the world. 16 years ago, there was a terrible accident that changed a grim reaper’s life. 12 years ago, the assassin and his partner vanished without a trace. 10 years ago, Soul Evans held his partner as she took her last breath. 10 years ago, he was left with only a daughter to carry on Maka Albarn’s legacy. 8 years ago, life for Death the Kid and Soul Evans took on a new normal. But the peace and quiet can only last for so long. This, they know. This, they expect. But the darkness looming on the horizon grows ever nearer, and the remaining inhabitants of Death City remain none the wiser. That is, until two lone travelers finally make it home.

hi i’m marsh of sleep and this is still jackass!!
i have a metric buttload of art for this fic, but unfortunately i only have the one piece finished at the moment, and even that one was a miracle (thanks adobe (derogatory)).
the important thing is, teaa and electric are ABSOLUTE WRITING MONSTERS, holy shit. i came into this expecting a sad story and not like, a gdocs-destroying multi-arc masterplan full of original characters, amazing fight scenes, complicated relationships of many varieties, and so much detail that i have a page and a half of potential drawing ideas that i basically had to roll some dice to decide what to choose -- there’s no lack of inspiration here at all.
please please please give my authors your love, they have been consistently busting ass since the beginning of this event that i’m both impressed and intimidated -- i hope that if i attempt something at this scale like they have, i will be even half as dedicated. i’m very honored to have watched this post-canon world come to life, thank you for having me.
also stay tuned to this post coz i’ll be dropping all my other arts on it as well! i have ... at least four more WIPs and probably that much more in stuff i *have* to draw or i will explode

low blow, sweet chariot
presented by author: @marshofsleep with artist: @Lili the Fangirl
Pairings: Jacq/Kim, Ox/Harv, Kilik/Liz. Mentioned/implied: Soul/Maka, Tsu/Liz, Kilik/Harv Rating: R/ M Warnings: Violence, mild gore, nudity, language, suggestive sexual undertones, trauma
Summary: What little civility that was happening between you takes an immediate swandive. Leaning back into the couch, she says, “You are worthless to me, E’clair. The moment I’m back in my body I’m going to force feed you ice cream until you die–” Thank god, this is something you can handle. “Keep it up, I’ll rub your face on some gym equipment or something. Get you the really good acne.” A bodyswap fic.

tumblr took my emojis but I’M GOD AND I PUT THEM BACK IN
My collab with @marshofsleep for @nineroyalty's resbang "A MIRROR into our SOUL" Marsh did the initial sketch and layout, while I lined and rendered everything. This was incredibly fun to work on and just try a ton of different things with. Go read the story it's a wild ride with tons of great imagery, there was no shortage of inspiration to work with.
Pairings: Tezca Tlipoca/Justin Law Rating: M Warnings: Some blood, mild gore, desensitization, trauma, canon death, emotional manipulation, swearing
Summary: Tezca stares blankly into the mirror, wondering if this is the solution he’s been asking for - Justin is content with staring at the moon, breathing in the cool air, relishing in the chaos of the world. Tezca will try, though, for lack of a real solution. It could work. He’s pulled off harder jobs than this.

I SURE HATE TUMBLR A LOT!!!!!!! anyway please look forward, this fic is a jam
Oh my god, that’s gorgeous!
Soooo stunning!!
DUUUUUUUuuuuuuDE!
Happy November!
So, Microsoft is terrible. Yes yes, the oldest claim in the world.
But specifically... I just hate how Windows 10 tries to conflate and confuse web searches with things on one's own computer. The start menu should never do anything related to web-searching, especially if it purports to try to give examples of things that are on my hard drive!
This will make old, computer-illiterate people more malware-vulnerable. You have to maintain a strong distinction between "things that are on this computer (and maybe even included in Windows)" (safe, one hopes, or you already got pwned by it, probably), and "things on the web" (scary, dangerous, not to be trusted at all).
Eroding that barrier in the UI is awful. It just FEELS like a violation every time I start typing into the start bar, and it tries to show me ANYTHING web-related. My computer is NOT just an internet-portal! It has tons of stuff on it, and when I'm interacting with the OS, I ONLY want to see things that are already on here!
If I wanted to see something online, I would go to my browser! All the online stuff should be segregated into the browser!
Specific programs can access the internet; that's fine. But my OS's functions and interface should JUST be about the things that are already on my computer.
i haven’t used this myself but i’ll be looking into it
Literally spent multiple hours lobotomizing my Windows reinstall when I upgraded recently, the amount of awful shit they had in nowadays makes me long for the age of win98, when software was merely bad, rather than actively harmful.
the exact setting in shutup10 for this issue is "Disable extension of Windows 10 search with Bing" it's at the very bottom under misc.
There are 2 programs that will turn Windows 10 from an advertising riddled, bloated mess into a useful tool.
With one click, this will remove ALL THE BLOATWARE Windows comes with. Seriously, you need NONE OF THESE apps, and if you do, you can just uninstall all the ones you don't need individually.
This program will give you almost complete control over Windows 10's behavior. Disabling the web search in the start menu, op rightfully complained about, is just one of the many things this thing can do
For example, with a single setting you can turn off any ads from microsoft, system-wide
It is a powerful tool, but it can be a bit overwhelming. Luckily every single setting comes with an explanation about what it actually does, and most settings can be easily reversed.
Tech tip from my personal blog
link is a lesbian link is bisexual link is a gay man link is nonbinary and a trans man and a trans woman
link be wipin their gender and sexuality along the entire spectrum like ur dog dragging its butt across ur racist grandma's favorite rug, and we love to see both
