Be wary of those whose understanding of cruelty is more about what the victim is rather than what was done to the victim eg "op doxxed an indigenous person for calling out their hypocrisy"
Be wary of those who encourage harassment via "isn't this the guy who did xyz?" If they knew for sure, they would say so.

I have an confession to make, I never have played any of the Animal Crossing games until recently when I got an switch as a late Christmas gift on New years from both my sister and dad. and honestly I enjoy playing New Horizons and thinking about playing the mobile version as well I believe it's called Pocket camp? idk honestly
I just know that Tom Nook the tanuki is a capitalist snake that seem nice at first but later on ask you to pay an huge sum of bells for XY and Z type of person. who may or may not be training his sons(?) the trade while their still minors and potential may be breaking labor laws
Fandom has been taking down those extremely intricate and helpful GameFAQs text guides because they're a terrible company run by rat bastards, so if you care about archiving those old guides for a smoother experience on the earliest generation of games, i've linked prograc's archive of just about every single one you can think of. make sure to download the whole 7z file (its ~2GB), as this is undoubtedly the most accurate and useful tool for anybody wanting to experience video game history.

No art today due to art block and college, but you guys can have a quick late night pen sketch of infinite/zero tho
Ghost never really learned how to properly tie a tie.
He never had reason to. Never had a father that would teach him, either. And when it comes to formal dress after joining the military, he’d always fidget and tug and prod at knots until they looked right, whether or not they were done properly.
He’s tried looking up tutorials, sure, but it’s just… overwhelming as to how many ways ties can be knotted. So he never bothers. Just does his best to pretend like he knows even when he’s so, so lost.
Because it doesn’t matter.
At least, not until—years down the line—his and Soap’s wedding.
Ghost figures it’s his time to finally learn, then, because it has to be perfect. He can’t mimic a knot for such an important day, just praying for the best, he has to do his tie up properly.
But he can’t.
He tries, over and over, watching videos and looking at picture-by-picture instructions, but he can’t. Ghost gets frustrated, hands trembling more and more every attempt until eventually he just… gives up. Rips off the tie and resigns himself to slumping into the nearest chair, running fingers desperately through hair he’d taken so long to make look nice.
Soap finds him much too close to the start of the ceremony, quick to rush to his side and ask what’s wrong.
Ghost isn’t sure when the tears had started welling, or when his bottom lip had started to wobble. He lets Soap gently guide his hands away from his head, pressing thumbs lightly into open palms.
“You’ll think it’s stupid,” Ghost mutters. His tie is loose around his neck, an irritating reminder of why he’s yet to be ready to meet Soap at the end of the aisle.
Soap smiles softly at him. He looks so handsome, as always—him and his perfectly tied tie.
“I doubt it,” he says, oh-so kindly. “Never is.”
Ghost laughs quietly, the sound shaky, watery. He swallows the lump that threatens to rise in his throat, peering into the comfort of Soap’s eyes to lend him strength as he confesses, “I can’t get my fucking tie right.”
“That’s all?” Ghost nods and Soap sighs, sitting down on his knees, pressing the back of Ghost’s hands to his forehead like an odd sort of worship. “Thank God. Had me worried you were rethinking things.”
"I'd never rethink this, I just—" Ghost takes a shuddering breath. "Fuck, I'm sorry."
"Don't be." Ghost mourns the loss of Soap's warmth as he lets go of his hands. He lifts a hand to drag through Ghost's hair, surely mussing it in a way that looks better than the tangled mess Ghost had probably left it as. "All you had to do was ask for help."
Ghost's gaze falls to the ground as shame burns his ears. "I just didn't want you to think—"
"I'd never think any less of you for not bein' able to tie a tie, Simon," Soap assures him. "There's a stupid amount of ways to do it 'right', anyway. C'mere."
Ghost leans forward enough for Soap to have a comfortable grip on his tie. He watches Soap's face the entire time, the subtle concentration in his expression, though surely he should be paying attention to how he ties the knot instead.
He doesn't move even as Soap has switched to adjusting his collar and smoothing the artificial wrinkles of his dress shirt.
"Pure braw," Soap murmurs. He sits up to capture Ghost in a kiss, sweet and innocent and comforting.
"You're supposed to save that for after the vows," Ghost says once they break apart.
Soap barks out a laugh. "Prude," he teases.
He stands slowly, then, wincing when his knees crack as he gets up. Soap offers out a hand to Ghost, of which Ghost happily accepts.
Soap grins at Ghost, then, bright and blinding and full of love.
"Let's go get married, then, shall we?"
You guys can thank me later on this
PLS THIS WHOLE SEQUENCE WAS SO FUNNY POOR SONIC LOLLL
"The statue has become dust as has Sonic's sanity"
is nsfw allowed of ur oc
Yes I do allowed NSFW of my OCs and I don't mind it that's its either art or writing. My OCs are adult unless state otherwise in their bio/information. if you like to discuss furthermore about is my DMs are always opened anon
i feel like there was a time where people would get mad at people saying "i dont usually like ___ but this is great!" like it was some big insult. to me that always seemed like a deliberately bad faith interpretation of what would obviously read to anyone normal as "i dont usually like ____ but this has qualities so exceptional that it overrides my usual preferences"
I know I sound like your mom but you kids need to stop fucking vaping
Decided to combine Day 5 and 7 together sadly mental image and drawing it on a digital canvas didn't try out so well rip. (Still didn't know what's the name of simple sketchy sonic style is called)
