Grima Propaganda! (Because I Deeply Appreciate This Messed Up Villain)

Mascot Madness definitely involved some madness

For those who have been following Oakie the Acorn, round 3 of the college mascot tournament poll they’re in ended with their opponent being withdrawn by the school, Stony Brook, because students cast “excessive votes,” probably using bots.

So Oakie has moved on in the competition, and we will continue with our art posts for Oakie. (If you vote for Oakie and like this post or otherwise let us know, we will post art)

Semifinals are today (12pm) until Friday (3pm).

We’d appreciate support for our acorn!

CW: antisemitism, pale of settlement, pogroms, genocide, cultural erasure

I don't think goyim can really conceive of how much Jews actually hold back in our criticism of antisemitism in media, and when you hear us it is often because we see a dangerous message that you don't... Yet.

I have a complicated relationship with Tim Burton's rendition of The Corpse Bride. I love it as a beautiful piece of stop motion art, but it isn't what it should have been, he took a Jewish story from the Pale and with intention stripped it of its Jewish origins. This alone is incredibly antisemitic. The criticism you will hear has probably been "this is a Jewish story, it should have retained its Jewish elements" but have you heard why we feel strongly about this story?

The story of the corpse bride is incredibly important to me and was born from Jewish trauma and Christian violence. Mobs would routinely attack Jewish weddings, they would murder brides and they would bury them in unmarked graves by the roadside still in their wedding clothes, they reasoned that without Jewish wives there are no Jewish mother's. Jews are intrinsic to the story.

It is antisemitism to take our story, about our pain, at the hands of non-jews and strip it for "useful" parts, in fact it is heartbreaking every time.

We are often forced to pick our battles and fighting a battle over a movie that has already been released by a director with a cult following is not worth it, you only hear us speak up in numbers when the antisemitism may lead to another century of violence, because raising our voice means picking a fight, because so many of you already see our pain as inconvenient and it is exhausting to never be heard.

-anyone can reblog

Tumblr people, can I ask something weird? Can I ask you to vote in a popular tournament poll…. Not on this hellsite? 🥺👉👈

Mascot Madness - SUNY

SUNY Mascot Madness is the battle to decide New York's favorite college mascot.

My school’s mascot is Oakie the Acorn, and they’re probably the Tumblr-est mascot you could think of.

I mean, they’re an acorn for goodness’ sake, they’re officially non-binary, and they’re all about sustainability. The school they represent is also very tumblr- SUNY ESF is a school dedicated to saving the Earth, and its student culture makes it a place where the genders are queer and the neuros are divergent :) People just stop to stare at a weird mushroom or interesting insect all the time here, and if someone spots them, instead of ridicule, you’ll probably have two people staring.

In conclusion, vote for Oakie!

Please, please support them. I can’t imagine being in this situation. Whatever you can spare would help.

Please help me be able to go to the mental hospital.

Hi I don't know where to start so uh if you don't know me, I'm Hollow. I have been medicated and doing therapy for a bit now. I had breakthroughs and ups and downs. But somewhere in me I'm not safe and I need to go get professional help instead of hoping I can fight it long enough it goes away.

But its not as easy as checking in. I have been denied disability and in the meantime we're without reliable income. Biggest issue is, its not just me. My sister, our pets, and our home rely on whatever pennies we can scrape up. If I leave without covering the bills, we'll lose our home and she'll have nowhere to go. So my options are hope I survive and pay the bills, or come up with the money asap so the bills are covered and I can admit myself to the hospital.

I'm gonna be honest, I am both ashamed and disappointed that I even have to make this post. But I have no other options.

TLDR; I need to pay the bills before hand so I don't lose everything if I get life saving care.

WIBTA for running away with my soulless, potentially dangerous future self? [OCs]

[OOC: tw for fictional medical procedures without consent, fictional self-harm, implied mental health issues, implied ableism, child endangerment/potential child harm, souls being treated in a way that might be taken as religiously insensitive]

I (14F in human years) have been living with my older brother (equivalent of 25M) as a guardian, because we got interdimensionally lost together several years ago and have been trying to make lives for ourselves in the human world. It hasn’t been easy, but recently my successful future self (equivalent of 40sF) showed up and offered to help us out! She’s a scientific genius and is kinda stuck here in the past because her work on time travel didn’t go the way she hoped (maybe with her help I could do even better someday!)

But she also acts really creepy and weird, and I found out that it’s because she removed her own soul somehow? Apparently the procedure was one of her discoveries, and in her time it became some sort of therapy for emotional issues because it basically gets rid of all your emotions. She almost tried to do the same to me after I freaked out about it, but luckily I managed to convince her otherwise, and I’m pretty sure she’s started listening to me now and taking getting stuck in the past as a chance to make sure I don’t end up making the same mistakes she did. But my brother doesn’t trust her one bit and refuses to let me contact her anymore. I feel like I’m the only one she’s willing to listen to because she thinks a lot of herself (I mean, from how she tells it she made major breakthroughs in several scientific fields) and I’m basically the same person as far as she sees it. It feels like I’m the only one who can make sure she doesn’t do something that changes the world for the worse like she did in her timeline. So I’m thinking of working with her, but after the incident where she was going to take my soul, my brother thinks it’d be way too dangerous for me to contact her again because she might try to take my soul again or trick me into helping her with something bad. However, I think she’d listen to me like she did before, and I could learn so much from her, keep her from causing problems, and maybe change the world for the better with her help on technical stuff and knowing what not to do! 

Would I (current me, I know future me is kind of an asshole but I don’t really blame her for it) be the asshole if I disobeyed my brother and ran away after my mad scientist future self?

Player Character Support Group!

I’m dropping a somewhat old crossover fanfic of mine here and running lol

It’s an Undertale/Deltarune/Little Nightmares/Hollow Knight fanfic about a group of video game characters who are aware that their lives are video games (similar premise to Wreck-it Ralph) and the struggles of the player characters who go through all kinds of nonsense at the players’ whims.

This is also a crack fic chock-full of personal headcanons! Also, I’m putting it out here but I don’t promise quality lol. - Katlyn

(edit: now on AO3!)

(Here’s the Google doc I originally linked)

Reminder about this because I am passionate and will not shut up about it lol

This is a little drawing I did in order to stick it to my laptop because I don’t have enough stickers as many stickers as I want :)

After I stuck it to my laptop, it tore, so I decided to fix it and make it look intentional. It’s a Shade from Hollow Knight- I love these funky little blobs of void

Thank you @printerpenguin for voting for Oakie :)

Please do not kill bugs for the crime of being small.

Number five hits hard

adhd + music moods: 

listening to the same song on repeat for 72 hours straight

requires absolutely no sound. complete silence only. if anyone so much as breathes…

NEED ALL THE NOISE. MUSIC AT FULL BLAST. The external volume has to be loud enough to drown out the internal volume so I can hear the one productive thought. I SAID THE EXT-

music has to be just loud enough that i can hear it, but quiet enough so i forget it’s on and i don’t get distracted by changing the song 

too late. i am now changing the song every .2 seconds. hits shuffle. hits shuffle. hits skip. switches playlist. creates a new playlist that is a slight variation of an already existing playlist. it’s been 5 hours.

Okay, I do enjoy and appreciate Rosalina. But Shade Lord has a special place in my heart. Not only are they the most powerful being in their world, the God of Gods, the incarnation of Void and Nothingness itself…. but they’re also Just A Little (agender) Guy! Look at this cute little bug!

Now behold their true Shade Lord form!

They have such swag, vote for this creepy-cute darkness deity :)
