Hiiii

Hi sorry to make a post kinda banking on whatever reach I have but

If you or someone you know lives in/near Gainesville FL and are willing to take in an incredibly sweet senior cat please hmu!!!

This is Princess Leia, AKA Prissy

she was my moms cat, but she had to come live with me, and unfortunately I am about to lose my current living situation and have no way to keep her

She’s approximately 16 years old, and other than being a bit spacey shes in great health, shes just always been a bit scrawny

She is super shy around strangers but once she gets to know you she’s happy to spend her whole day either in your lap or sleeping near you, loves pets and attention. she used to let my mom pick her up and wear her like a scarf, or just tote her around lmao

she is notttt great with other cats, unless they’re content to generally ignore her and give her space, but is fine with dogs and kids as long as they arent chasing her down!

She’s genuinely just a sweet, quiet little old lady and i would love to find a home for her, rather than risking sticking her in a shelter

reblogs appreciated very much, please help me find a home for my little granny if you can 💖

i had a thought of "do people not know what AUs are anymore?" and then i remembered nobody explains fandom stuff to new people anymore so it is entirely plausible people genuinely don't know what AUs are and nobody has explained it to them, so for today's lucky 10,000:

"AU" stands for "Alternate Universe" or "Alternative Universe" (same difference) and is basically any thought scenario for a fandom that isn't canon and can't fit within the canon universe. If it takes place in the canon universe but something is notably different, that is typically what's known as a "Canon divergent AU," because it diverges from canon.

an AU can be absolutely anything. There's a couple of widespread pan-fandom au scenarios that often get thrown around, like coffee shop aus, genderbend aus, hanahaki aus (hanahaki is a whole thing in itself i'd recommend researching on your own), etc. One you might hear sometimes is "crossover AU" which is when you have characters from one fandom interacting with characters from another.

You can have as many aus as you want. They can be whatever you want and you can do whatever you want in them. It's a sandbox for you to play around in and explore how things would be different or how the characters would act in those circumstances or environments. Maybe they have different relationships with each other. Maybe they behave slightly differently. Or you can just say "Okay, [x] is true. How did they get here? How would things have to be different for this to occur?" which can also be fun.

If you are ever confused about why people ship something that seems completely out of the blue or doesn't make sense to you in the canon setting, there's a good chance they like it in an AU setting! Not everything everybody is interacting with is necessarily the canon! Not everybody wants things to exist in canon and just want to explore playing dolls in a different sandbox and that's okay. And their sandbox might look a lot different than yours, and that's also okay. You have the freedom to make your sandbox whatever you please. Do whatever you want forever. Get funky with it. AUs are fun.

Okay that's my schpeal. everybody go have fun and play nice now.

just write a shitty poem, what do you have to lose

We literally just found life on another planet and everybody is just like "and?" Life on earth so wild rn we don't even care 💀💀

Commsioned the VERY talented @yuzepi for this Alice Dyer TMAGP Fanart!!! AND OH MY GOSH ITS SO GORGEOUS!!!! I highly recommend everyone to take a second and just stare at it, 13/10 experience

nobody inspires rage like your trans friend's parents

People loooove complex characters until they’re women

people are really fucking clueless about generative ai huh? you should absolutely not be using it for any sort of fact checking no matter how convenient. it does not operate in a way that guarantees factual information. its goal is not to deliver you the truth but deliver something coherent based on a given data set which may or may not include factual information. both the idolization of ai and fearmongering of it seem lost on what it is actually capable of doing
