The Mutuals Sound Like This

Glaze is out!

Tired of having your artwork used for AI training but find watermarks dismaying and ineffective?

Well check this out! Software that makes your Art look messed up to training AIs and unusable in a data set but nearly unchanged to human eyes.

I just learned about this. It's in Beta. Please read all the information before using.

I thought I'd draw Marinette as a firebender

So I did. Might draw some others.

Hypothetically how long would the human body survive if it suddenly lost all it's DNA?

I'm talking just your DNA, leaving behind RNA and nucleotide based compounds, (though if anyone has the answer of how long it would be if you lost all your ATCG's as well that would also be greatly appreciated!)

Yes

things I wish I’d known when I started writing fic on ao3

use & for friendships, colleagues, familial relationships and use / for romantic or sexual relationships (or encounters)

not everyone reads fic. Lots of people use screen readers, and screen readers can’t see what’s on images. use descriptive text to help them out.

lots of people download fic to read on other devices, not all downloads capture images too.

there’s a big difference between No Archive Warnings Apply (NAWA) and Author Chose Not to Use Archive Warnings (CNTW). NAWA means that there’s nothing in the fic that needs to be warned for using the official Archive Warning system. CNTW means there might be something that requires a warning and the author is either avoiding giving out spoilers or they are unsure how to interpret their plot point with respect to the official Warnings. (in both cases, additional tags are where it’s at - you can explain yourself there) 

the reason why the number of bookmarks in the fic is different from the number of bookmarks on your stats page is because your stats page number includes bookmarks that are hidden

there’s a preference setting where you can receive emails with your own comments/replies.

there’s a site skin that hides stats so you don’t have to see them

writing in rich text format makes my life easier

knowing html allows me to do fun things in the comments section like comment/reply with reaction gifs

knowing html also allows me to do interesting formatting in my fics that I can’t do with rich text alone

those little blue bubbles with the question marks in them will answer my questions a lot of the time - and also teach me something new

the FAQ is linked under the word About in the header

if you write your fic in the draft window, you might end up losing it so make sure you copy the text before you hit Post, just in case

they aren’t kidding when they say drafts are deleted after 30 days

I love urchin

my first concern when griffin said parts of the coriolis where floating in the wreckage was that urchin was okay. should’ve known that nasty lil guy would be fine and snackin on some rations

Help me find a fic

Okay so it's a Dream SMP multiverse/time travel fic that starts with Tommy or Tubbo in a kinda time loop and they try to fix things and they eventually realise that the other is doing it too.

Each chapter end with a numbered list of each timeline in the author notes.

They continue trying to get the Best Possible Outcome and sometimes only one of them is "awake" and then they find the best sequence of events that lets them play around with it a little.

Then they notice some other stuff happening that didn't happen in the original timeline and it turns out ConnorEatsPants is sometimes Awake too.

More people "wake up" and they start to end up in alternate timelines and universes and it gets revealed that the world tree is under maintenance by the gods so they've put everything in time loops and Tommy and Tubbo are the "pillars" keeping the SMP stable (which is why one or both of them are always "awake").

The "branch" of the tree they are on contains all the Minecraft stuff with Steve and Alex being the oldest and they are a part of an offshoot of which Aphmau is the oldest.

It gets explained that Dream will never "wake up" at risk of causing problems to the world tree (which has already happened to other universes and beloved media characters, like Billy and Mandy)

As they start crossing over a bunch all the characters become OP in different ways and there's a bunch of found family and fluff. Puffy gets a pocket dimension that she fills with ships of all kinds (like The Black Pearl and The Enterprise). Tommy and Tubbo both end up with a couple hundred copies of the real discs and love to use them to me with Dream. Tommy collects music and gets lots of fire and lightning powers. Tubbo impresses Batman.

At one point they end up in an Elevator that sends them to different places and times within the timelines and they basically just vibe and they meet Manhunt!Dream and help him out. They meet a Fundy and (someone else? Jack/Quackity) who try to warn them about something but get cut off when The Elevator leaves. They brush it off as a part of the canon timeline they'd interrupted.

After Ranboo shows up and wakes up (Tubbo feels weird about the whole marriage thing in the canon timeline) Dream eventfully find out about the time loops/dimension travel and hides messages in Ranboo's code for himself and he almost becomes a big problem for the world tree but they stop him when they realise, after which the God in charge of maintaining their branch pops by again to try and work out a solution and they suggest waking up Manhunt!Dream.

It works.

When Fundy wakes up some of the Older Crew randomly appear in front of him and he tries to warn them about Dream. He gets cut off.

How sad to watch him grow

I finished it!

I carve Pumpkim today! And made Pumpkim pasta! (Tasty)
