im so serious about this but if youre autistic and especially if youre chronically ill creative labour cannot be your only way to relax. working on a creative project is still working. take time to do nothing. its good for you i promise.
alright chat consumed a 'new' piece of media, you know what time it is
[Genshin Impact - Escoffier SQ thoughts]
- alright chat what's their ship name
- this SQ overall -- particularly everything with the obligatory spotlight swiping NPCs -- made me feel way more like baby's first Ace Attorney (i kept constantly coming up with/altering hypotheses during it) than the Fontaine AQ itself did, which is hilarious all things considered
- the cooking minigame was actually really fun, though i struggled with the last one and its waterways more than i'd like to admit (shitty 400+ ping wi-fi gang)
- i know this isn't its first appearance by any means but this Traveler face is glorious -- if anyone's got the Lumine ver. please show me
- i honestly wasn't a big fan of Escoffier and didn't intend for that to really change, but after getting her on a single 10-pull (only like 40 pity somehow? she's telling me somethin idk i was trying for Ifa) i felt obligated and i'm honestly quite a fan of her now

Respecting Women
yesss i love it!
it is 2am rn i should be asleep but i'm high on the buzz from reading literally everything you've written with her so i'm doing something i've never before and asking: Furina confession?
also, again, love the writing, tumblr one-shot writers truly make the world... something idk i need to sleep
(Genshin Impact) Furina Confessing to Reader
I exist because content for the girls does not (or at least anything recent besides myself and others I can count on like one hand. On tumblr anyway, on AO3, BOY IS THAT A LOT OF SMUT)
Furina stood in the mirror, staring at herself and taking a deep breath.
Right now, she was in nothing more than a plain shirt and baggy pants since there was no home.
Her hair was also a bit disheveled, but appearances didn't matter right now!
Exhaling finally, Furina nodded to herself and recited her line.
(Furina) "(Y/N). I'm in love with you-!"
She elegantly gestured outwards with her hand, ready to go off on a mini-tangent, endlessly showering them with praise and dramatics...
...Until she sighed, shaking her head. Theatrics wouldn't do. This was something that deserved to come from her heart.
For the fat lot of good that was.
Furina slowly tapped her finger against the sink, eyes trailing down as her thoughts began to wander.
She had impersonated an Archon for centuries, performed in countless theater productions, faced the music of her people's judgement, and came out a new person, truly her own.
And yet, confessing to (Y/N) was up there in the most stressful of tasks.
They were one of the few people to treat Furina normally after the truth was revealed, and actively stuck around in her life after the fact much to her relief.
(Y/N) treated her as a friend, first and foremost, even when she was still under the guise of an Archon.
Any time spent with them caused her heart to race, and before she realized it, she fell head over heels for them.
And with the disaster looming over Fontaine averted, Furina could finally follow her heart.
And that terrified Furina to no end.
(Furina) "Ugh...! Focus! It shouldn't be that hard!"
Shaking her head again, she decided to leave the mirror and flop onto her bed, face first.
It wouldn't really help, but it'd at least just get her distracted. At least it would've, if she didn't hear a knock on her door.
Not bothering to check or remove her face from the mattress, a very muffled-
(Furina) "Who is it?"
Answered the knock.
(Y/N's Voice) "Furina. Are you okay? I can barely hear you!"
Furina quickly rolled onto her back and shot up straight like a bullet, eyes widening in surprise.
(Furina) "(Y/N)?! Oh, um! A moment, please! I'm not decent yet!"
She cursed her clothes that were still drying, rapidly darting left and right to see if any of her fancy dresses were ready!
Why was this happening now?! (Y/N) was supposed to meet up with her tomorrow!
(Y/N) "I just came by to drop off some food, I had leftovers and figured you would want some! I can leave if you-"
(Furina) "N-NO! Don't!"
After realizing that she said that a little too fast, she quickly cleared her throat and attempted to compose herself.
(Furina) "I wished to talk to you about something, actually!"
Realizing what she just said, she could hear her inner self screaming.
(Furina) WAITWAITWAIT! Maybe if I can say, later, I can have time to-
(Y/N) "May I come in now?"
(Furina) "Yes! You may-"
(Furina) WHY IN THE HELL DID YOU SAY YES?! (Also Furina) I DON'T KNOOOOOWWW!
(Y/N) entered the room, putting aside a picnic basket on her drawer, before turning to Furina with a smile.
(Y/N) "Hah, dress still in the dryer?"
(Furina) "Tch, unfortunately! Though, I was not expecting anyone to show up today either."
(Y/N) just smiled at that and sat on her bed, growing a little more serious.
(Y/N) "What did you wanna talk about?"
Furina's heart threatened to bust from her chest, but she did her best to calm it down and sat next to them, a respectable distance away as well.
Taking one last deep breath, she closed her eyes and turned to (Y/N), giving them a stare and speaking directly from her heart.
(Furina) "I bike you."
(Y/N) remained still, hands still in their lap, and a moment of silence passing between the two of them.
Furina clenched her fists, watching to see if (Y/N) would react in any negative way.
After what seemed like an eternity, (Y/N) finally gave their answer:
(Y/N) "...Bike?"
(Furina) "...Eh?"
(Y/N) "You bike me?"
(Furina) I MESSED UP?! NONONONOTHISCAN'TBEHAPPENINGHOWCOULDIHAVEFLUBBEDTHISUPSOBAD?!ICANNEVERFACETHEMAGAIN-
(Y/N) mercifully noticing her face turn bright red, only chuckled lightly before trying to help calm her down, by grabbing her hands and squeezing them.
It seemed to have worked as Furina was anchored back into the real world instead of her self-berating thoughts, (Y/N) smiling softly.
(Y/N) "Do you want to try that again?"
With how carefully Furina's hands were being held, she was confused.
Did they...Return her feelings?
The way they were smiling, the way their eyes seemed to glow with affection.
A small smidge of confidence coming back to her, she again steeled herself and spoke slowly.
(Furina) "I like you, (Y/N). You mean more to me than just a friend. You have been by my side for all these years, and have never stepped away, no matter what came. Will...you continue to do so?'
Not knowing her heart could beat even faster, she saw (Y/N) nod, moving closer to close the gap.
(Y/N) "I'd love nothing more, if you'd have me."
The corner of Furina's eyes were pricked with tears, Furina immediately going in for a hug, one that (Y/N) happily reciprocated.
After a far too brief dozen or so seconds, they pulled back and just smiled at each other. Until (Y/N) spoke.
(Y/N) "I came in while you were practicing to say that, didn't I?"
Furina stammered, quickly pouting while her blush gave her away.
(Furina) "I didn't need to practice! I just needed to speak from the heart is all!"
(Y/N) "So bike is how you really feel about me then, huh?"
(Furina) "D-DON'T TEASE ME!"
Furina squeaked when (Y/N) embraced her again, though after a defiant moment, she sighed and returned their affection, the two saying nothing and staying like that for a little while longer.
Even if it wasn't the way she intended, at least it ended happily.
...Maybe this was a better way to convey her feelings anyway.

The panel that directly inspired the dialogue in this ask
A/N: I wasn't even gonna mention this last part, but my writer's integrity refuses to pass that bit off as original. Credit where credit is due, it's from an original Doujin called "The Show Must Go On!" by an artist named Chicken. I cannot link the source because it's AHEM, a spicy one, but nevertheless! I found it too cute to not utilize! And also because that absolutely seems something Furina would do.
i remember reading somewhere that Super Mario Maker started out as an internal development tool before someone thought "hey, wait, this would make a really cool game" before the dev team just went through with that
if that's true, it's not entirely infeasible that Wonder could've been built using the basis of that engine -- perhaps a more refined version, since it's not intended to see commercial shelves
Super Mario Bros. Wonder's engine resembles the Super Mario Maker engine in that it is able to combine a surprising amount of elements together that would never interact during regular gameplay.
One such interaction, which is also present in the Super Mario Maker games, is pipes being able to spawn any object repeatedly, even if that object would never emerge out of a pipe normally.
In the footage, pipes have been modified to spawn an endless amount of decorative Toads (seen in the game's intro, where they wave to the player and keep walking to the right), which can be done by adjusting a single variable. The Toads then fall down a bottomless pit and despawn. No previous game in the series has ever been able to create an endless amount of NPCs in this manner without heavy rewriting of the code.

Hello, tumblr user. Before you is a tumblr post asking you to name a female fictional character. You have unlimited time to tag a female character, NOT a male one.
Begin.
More real-life pics of the Pokemon Fit/Sitting Cuties Alolan form plushies!
But first they must catch you 🏳️⚧️
i remember a theory i really like about the Singer of Many Waters being Focalors' "last gift" to Furina, in a sense, i.e those droplets of water from the cutscene that fully awakened & manifest when she earned her vision, but i've never heard that one you talked about? like no, you're right, how much did they skip
Saw someone saying Furina has hydro skills because Foçalors is still alive in her body, brother how the fuck did you manage to avoid literally all information in the Archon Quest are you fucking kidding me.
so... i have no way of proving this, but i swear this guy just sparkled at me -- is this a Crystal mechanic i'm unfamiliar with or is there something up with my color filter?
wait until you see Skitty with Egg Moves -- Tidy Up + Normalize Thunderous Kick has astonished me more times than i'd feasibly admit
Welp, the run ended in failure, unfortunately. I just was too underleveled and hadn't healed up properly before facing Grusha so, despite beating 3 of the 6 pokémon, I couldn't get any further.
I'll definitely be giving these kitties a second shot though, including my little skitty (who i chose to nickname 'Hero' after how he saved my run earlier (he actually almost saved it again against Grusha, but despite finding some funny interactions I triggered from switching him in at different points, I couldn't find a combination of actions that would allow me to win this time))
I'll probably post more things around PokeRogue as I keep playing (I'd love to draw my team once I succeed, but I can't due to an injury right now so I'll have to wait on doing that) hopefully next run will be the one.

sorry twink, i don't give credit. come back when you're a little mmmmmm thicker
There are people – some in my own Party – who think that if you just give Donald Trump everything he wants, he’ll make an exception and spare you some of the harm. I’ll ignore the moral abdication of that position for just a second to say — almost none of those people have the experience with this President that I do. I once swallowed my pride to offer him what he values most — public praise on the Sunday news shows — in return for ventilators and N95 masks during the worst of the pandemic. We made a deal. And it turns out his promises were as broken as the BIPAP machines he sent us instead of ventilators. Going along to get along does not work – just ask the Trump-fearing red state Governors who are dealing with the same cuts that we are. I won’t be fooled twice.
I’ve been reflecting, these past four weeks, on two important parts of my life: my work helping to build the Illinois Holocaust Museum and the two times I’ve had the privilege of reciting the oath of office for Illinois Governor.
As some of you know, Skokie, Illinois once had one of the largest populations of Holocaust survivors anywhere in the world. In 1978, Nazis decided they wanted to march there.
The leaders of that march knew that the images of Swastika clad young men goose stepping down a peaceful suburban street would terrorize the local Jewish population – so many of whom had never recovered from their time in German concentration camps.
The prospect of that march sparked a legal fight that went all the way to the Supreme Court. It was a Jewish lawyer from the ACLU who argued the case for the Nazis – contending that even the most hateful of speech was protected under the first amendment.
As an American and a Jew, I find it difficult to resolve my feelings around that Supreme Court case – but I am grateful that the prospect of Nazis marching in their streets spurred the survivors and other Skokie residents to act. They joined together to form the Holocaust Memorial Foundation and built the first Illinois Holocaust Museum in a storefront in 1981 – a small but important forerunner to the one I helped build thirty years later.
I do not invoke the specter of Nazis lightly. But I know the history intimately — and have spent more time than probably anyone in this room with people who survived the Holocaust. Here’s what I’ve learned – the root that tears apart your house’s foundation begins as a seed – a seed of distrust and hate and blame.
The seed that grew into a dictatorship in Europe a lifetime ago didn’t arrive overnight. It started with everyday Germans mad about inflation and looking for someone to blame.
I’m watching with a foreboding dread what is happening in our country right now. A president who watches a plane go down in the Potomac – and suggests — without facts or findings — that a diversity hire is responsible for the crash. Or the Missouri Attorney General who just sued Starbucks – arguing that consumers pay higher prices for their coffee because the baristas are too “female” and “nonwhite.” The authoritarian playbook is laid bare here: They point to a group of people who don’t look like you and tell you to blame them for your problems.
I just have one question: What comes next? After we’ve discriminated against, deported or disparaged all the immigrants and the gay and lesbian and transgender people, the developmentally disabled, the women and the minorities – once we’ve ostracized our neighbors and betrayed our friends – After that, when the problems we started with are still there staring us in the face – what comes next.
All the atrocities of human history lurk in the answer to that question. And if we don’t want to repeat history – then for God’s sake in this moment we better be strong enough to learn from it.
I swore the following oath on Abraham Lincoln’s Bible: “I do solemnly swear that I will support the constitution of the United States, and the constitution of the state of Illinois, and that I will faithfully discharge the duties of the office of Governor .... according to the best of my ability.
My oath is to the Constitution of our state and of our country. We don’t have kings in America – and I don’t intend to bend the knee to one. I am not speaking up in service to my ambitions — but in deference to my obligations.
If you think I’m overreacting and sounding the alarm too soon, consider this:
It took the Nazis one month, three weeks, two days, eight hours and 40 minutes to dismantle a constitutional republic. All I’m saying is when the five-alarm fire starts to burn, every good person better be ready to man a post with a bucket of water if you want to stop it from raging out of control.
Those Illinois Nazis did end up holding their march in 1978 – just not in Skokie. After all the blowback from the case, they decided to march in Chicago instead. Only twenty of them showed up. But 2000 people came to counter protest. The Chicago Tribune reported that day that the “rally sputtered to an unspectacular end after ten minutes.” It was Illinoisans who smothered those embers before they could burn into a flame.
Tyranny requires your fear and your silence and your compliance. Democracy requires your courage. So gather your justice and humanity, Illinois, and do not let the “tragic spirit of despair” overcome us when our country needs us the most.

In regards of the Trump government scraping all trans inclusion in its queer information portion of its websites I have made this thing. Spread the word. Don't let them pretend we never existed.
P.S: Don't like! Reblog! <3
EDIT: Well this got a lot of attention! I got a few users asking to print or repost my art and I am unimaginably grateful to everyone's interest, especially since it's a really simple drawing I made on a whim haha! Anyone who is looking to print these out to hang or hand out or repost on another platform is free to do so, although I ask you to credit me and let people know it's from my Tumblr profile! If anyone wishes to do anything else with my art or post and wants to clarify what I consent to then they can message me privately and I'll explain! <333 all my love to my queer siblings
EDIT: I made an LGBTQIA+ version with a focus on trans and intersex folks, it's on my pinned if you prefer this version of the acronym.
