I would like to personally blame Steven universe & transformers animated for making me realize just how much of a disaster bi I am
Ruin Totality idea/concept The idea in which Totality would lose the ability to see while surviving in the ruins of the pizzaplex. Thinking everything that moves is a threat or another hostile animatronic. He would be in this sensitive state for so long that his protocols would act out at the slightest sound for his own protection. That was until Y/n ventures into the pizzaplex to find him specifically. A longtime and former employee who oversaw Totality while the plex was still going. but when they do stumble upon him, Totality fights them. They try to talk to him, break him out of his fight, something, but it's no use. Years upon years of having his protocol to rely on, everything is muted but the sounds of his warning systems to eliminate the threat before him. Nearing on the brink of death between them and Totality, they try one more thing; Physical contact. That is when he finally freezes. Animatronics are not warm, not naturally. Human warmth is ever softer and not as rigid. He lays his had on them in confirmation that its not fake and tries to figure out who it exactly is, trying to find any mark or scar they had that he can remember on their body (In this case, it's near their collar bone). When he finds it, he breaks. His voice box is static as he tries to form countless apologies to them that are not understandable before opting to carefully grapple them in a tight yet careful hug.
Man, I can't make a new character and leave them alone for 3 days without having heart-wrenching angst huh.

asking for help can be done at any time, and it is free. you just have to let yourself accept it.
Small reminder that you should really download your favorite fics off of AO3. We are seeing mass censorships well as the chance that anything, such as another severe DDoS attack can shut down the site making works unaccessible and possibly lost for good.
If you do not know how to download fics, it is a simple 2-button click. I've written a tutorial here.
You think your stuff is safe until it's suddenly not, and then often times it's too late.
This post starts with AO3, (because it seems to be the common denominator across all users on this website /joking) but I recommend extending preservation efforts to anything online if you can manage to download it.
I'm not saying panic and start buying tons of storage devices to hold immense amounts of stuff. A cheap usb can hold plenty of things. You don't have to stop using services still available if it's more convenient to read books on your phone than to fill your backpack with 7 of them.
But you should still get (either buying or creating) physical versions because nothing is guarantee that it will remain forever. From shows being pulled from streaming services, to banned books, to losing access to digital copies of media because the service doesn't support it anymore, the account is lost, or the company goes under. This goes for messaging platforms as well. Your role-plays with your friends on discord can be lost forever, your photos can too.
This doesn't even include media most vulnerable to censorship and how quickly it can be removed, and quietly.
You think it will not happen to you, it will. Do not wait for unforeseen circumstances. Go back up and preserve what you can, your future self will be happy that you did.
and on April 13th, 2006, niel banged out the tunes, and it was good

I know my science sides been kinda dead but I was getting so frustrated trying to differentiate all artistes 'avians'
...that's it, please use freely and don't feel the need to credit me, JUST USE.
It'll be fun to see arrests look at their avian OCS and going *That's you bud! See?*

My friend, my pal, my buddy. Allie Brosh created the entirety of Hyperbole and a Half, a celebrated webcomic that influenced an entire generation of meme culture, with nothing but the trackpad of a shitty laptop, MSPaint, and fingers that barely avoided frostbite in the winter.
Go to the dollar store and buy a cheap stylus to use with a free app on your phone. Use the aforementioned shitty laptop and trackpad. Heck, draw on the back of your extortionate bills with a knockoff sharpie.
Just because your art doesn't look like Rembrandt, doesn't mean it's not worthwhile.
Just for the love of [insert something you care about here] please don't use fucking generative AI
