Here Is What Stephen Whittle Has Said On Twitter (X)

Wow, now there's a bot going around on Ao3 telling people that the "moderators" will delete works from "deprecated" fandoms and impose bans.

Fearmongering bullshit, but it's fearmongering bullshit that seems to be taking advantage of the recent spotlight series in order to trick authors into deleting their fics.

Just. Why.

What the hell does anyone get out of making these bots.

Y'all ever just suddenly have the overwhelming urge to swim??? Like not actively but you just wanna,,, be in the water and have some Peace

My cat has always had the worst timing. He'll jump up on my desk to cuddle at the very moment I'm about to get up to urgently go to the bathroom. He'll try to curl up with me in bed the very instant I need to get up and refill my glass of water and put some vaseline on my dry, sore lips. He'll ask me to play just at the second I need to end my break and get back to work.

The poor guy, right? From his perspective, he approaches me for love and I immediately get up and leave. I feel awful about it. I try to reassure him first that I love him and he just has bad timing, but I know it can't feel nice, and also he's too big of a dumbass to understand that me getting up and walking away isn't triggered by him coming to say hi.

Except today I realized something: Yes. It is.

I was sitting at my desk watching a video and up jumps the boy with a mrrp, head positioned for pets, when I realized I urgently had to get up and go to the bathroom. As I opened my mouth to say "bad timing again, buddy," it finally occurred to me that... I definitely already had to go. I for sure did not "suddenly" have an urgent need for the toilet out of fucking nowhere.

I didn't realize I needed to go because my brain is piloted by angry gremlins and they were more interested in watching the video than letting me know about an important bodily function.

My cat coming to say hi is a regular trigger that pulls me back into my body from whatever bullshit I'm hyperfocusing on. And that's when I realize all the warning lights are flashing on the dash. Need water. Need food. Need toilet. In pain: need to change position. Holy shit look at the time, need to get back to work!

I now wonder how much worse I'd function if I didn't have a furry little guy in my apartment to regularly remind me that I exist in a physical form which requires maintenance and also that time passes.

I do still feel bad for walking away from him every time, but I have started just inviting him to come with me. Hey bud, sorry, I have to stand up right now, but come follow me while I get a glass of water. You coming? Come on! And rewarding him with pats for following. It's better than just walking away, I think.

Anyway cats (or other pet of your choice that requires frequent attention)? 10/10, strongly encourage having a little guy to bother you now and then, especially if you have ADHD and live alone.

So I love dark Percy but I don’t understand why Annabeth always disapproves?? Like she’ll definitely support him or even be first to turn dark

Percy: I feel so guilty for choking Akyhls

Annabeth: Why? She literally tried to kill us? It was a be or be killed situation and frankly the world would be better without her

Plus, Annabeth’s been in this world since she was 7. It’s just that no one actually thinks she’s being serious cause she’s supposed to be the rational one

Annabeth: I am going to murder the gods -

Piper: Let me know how it goes

And you know how Percy keeps getting into trouble with gods? Annabeth’s the same. If not worse

Piper: Percy literally treated Bacchus like he was nothing

Annabeth: Oh did he now? He should have treated him like dirt. Also I can’t believe he did it without me how dare he -

And you know how Annabeth’s literally redesigning Olympus? She’s going to use it to her advantage.

Annabeth: Yeah so this statue is going to blow up at 5 am during the winter solstice and this one is going to turn everything nearby to ice -

Percy: I’ve never been more in love with you

In conclusion: dark annabeth

Everyone should eatch the old gaurd its so good. Like i will always rewatch it and read historically accurate fanfiction abt it

stream the old guard on netflix

One day you think: I want to die. And then you think, very quietly, actually I want a coffee. I want a nap. A sandwich. A book. And I want to die turns day by day into I want to go home, I want to walk in the woods, I want to see my friends, I want to sit in the sun. I want a cleaner room, I want a better job, I want to live somewhere else, I want to live.

collection of posts for a very specific dynamic

one time i was just randomly talking abt spiders georg to myself and my mom is like wtf is that adn i ended up having to explain to her what memes were and how this particular set of memes made a whole group of poeple understand outliers and statistics easier and then she goes ahhh i see, i coulda used a spiders goerg when i was in college.

“average person eats 3 spiders a year” factoid actualy just statistical error. average person eats 0 spiders per year. Spiders Georg, who lives in cave & eats over 10,000 each day, is an outlier adn should not have been counted

How do they keep making later and later stages of late-capitalism

hey ao3 can you like give the extra $38k you made from this month’s funds drive to charity
