"Reddy, It's Time You See My True Form In All Its Terrible Glory!"

Dear people living on your own for the first time:

Here’s some advice I wasn’t told from the myriad of posts before that I wish I’d been given before

Wash the OUTSIDE of your pots and pans as well as the cooking surface. I’ve had a few roommates now who have only cleaned the inside and I’ve had to replace a $150 set of cookware twice.

“its only one time, how bad could using metal on nonstick cookware really be?” very bad. don’t do this.

Buy a rice cooker. Buy the middle tier rice cooker. Cheap ones will burn your rice, high tier ones are too expensive. Rice is good and cheap and, really, you don’t actually have to wash it if you don’t care about making gourmet food.

Buy band-aids. You don’t think you need band-ads until you need a band-aid, and by then it’s too late. (if you don’t follow this advice, a paper towel and some tape is an acceptable solution while you go get real bandages and neosporin)

You are on tumblr, which means you probably spend most of your time in one spot on a computer or phone. if this spot doesn’t have a trash can in arm’s reach, put one there.

 I spent 4 years piling trash on my desk in increasingly precarious ways until I had a designated area to put it. Trash cans can and should go anywhere there is a frequent generation of trash, typical locations be damned.

If you live with one or two roommates, discuss placing empty boxes in the back of your fridge and freezer. You probably don’t need all the space that the standard 5-person-family fridge provides, and tupperware will be shoved back there and left to stink up the entire appliance.

Get a wall calendar, put it somewhere communal, and have everyone put their household-relevant schedules on it. Communication is by far the weakest link with roommates (even good ones!) and having something to reference for appointments is always good

Wow more AU stuff! This time it's a space AU baby! Got some nice starry art of Haniel and Misty!

ATTENTION EVERYONE, IT IS NOW

crash :(

planing to make a dublar + marie fusion and heres some details im thinking of adding: -more than one pair of arms and maybe a centuar like body? -kinda looks like a cryptid cus dublar and marie are curious about eachother? -it would still have time powers, it just can't rewind to before the fusion was formed and Marie can't rewind into any point in time where she and dublar were fused. -would have some clone/double power where they can make a clone of themself, maybe either the fusion itself or even a past version of dublar or marie yoinked from time, or memory. idk what cha think about these ideas?

Oooh, I think those ideas rock! Maybe since they still have time abilities, you could add a few timepiece-based details to their clothing or such, like a blue hourglass with red sand in it or a sundial hat or something like that. I'm super excited to see what you come up with though, sounds really interesting so far! :D

Artists Beware! Please read if you have a DeviantArt account:

https://twitter.com/DeviantArt/status/1591113199218487300?s=20&t=4k4OiBqcoEj0GgFm5_zKDg

DeviantArt have just announced that they're launching their own ai art generator, and every deviation that has ever been posted has been automatically opted in - I've checked this for myself and every one of my own artworks now needs to be manually changed in the settings of every single deviation otherwise they'll be used.

To have your artist username exempted from prompts you have to fill in a Google form to be approved by a human, and you must prove that you operate under your respective alias to ask them not to use it - read more here

Suffice to say I'm livid, I've been on DeviantArt for a decade and I'm going to shut down my account once I've manually opted out my hundreds of deviations. On their promotion page for the new tool they'll emphasize that it's *totally within the control of the artists* showing an image of the checked box that opts you out, while not mentioning that all of your previous deviations are already opted in by default.

I would recommend that anyone who has similar plans as me and wants to leave the site should manually opt-out for every deviation before shutting down your account, just to be on the safe side because I'm not sure if just deactivating your account would count as opting out.

I'll try to keep this post updated with accurate and up-to-date information since AI related stuff can quickly cause a frenzy online - don't hesitate to DM me with any new information and I'll update it here!

spin this list of all of the pokemon. you are now that pokemon.

Hello Gregory. For years you have been obsessively reaching for fame and riches, not caring who you step on in your pursuit, never learning your lesson no matter how many times you fail, how many times you suffer, or how many friends you lose. In front of you lay what would seem to most to be simply an innocuous slice of classic swiss cheese. But you know the truth, don't you, Heffley? Now you have to make a choice. Touch the cheese, and you may live, but with the popularity you so desperately crave forever out of reach. Refuse, and toxic fumes will be emitted into this very room. You will surely perish. Will you attempt to cheat your way out of the consequences of your actions one final time? Or finally give in and contract the Cheese Touch?
