thinking about "what am i without you?" / "yourself." again but specifically how he says "what am i". like "who am i without you" would have made more sense in that it would mean he didn't know how to define his sense of self without that relationship, but he said "what". as in, "what am i worth without you?" "why do i matter if you're not here?" "how could i go on by myself?" and the response is "yourself", as in, "you don't need to do or be or have anything else to matter, you are worth something all on your own".
lmao this is so cool -the person who put sneegsnag
hi everyone i'm a huge nerd that loves data analysis, so i decided to go through erin's blorbo powerpoint to see the trends! here they are:
most common media type: characters from video games were the most common, by a lot, followed by characters from minecraft rp and anime characters. to clarify a few things: "ttrpg" refers to characters from table top roleplaying games of all forms (see: jrwi, critical role, dnd ocs, etc), "youtube" refers to vtubers while actual real people youtubers (scott the woz, slimecicle, etc) are under "earth. like real life." "fic" encompasses all AUs. and "tumblr" only has one entry, sneegsnag.
most common medias: these are all the series' with 5 or more characters represented on the powerpoint. unsurprisingly, hermitcraft and dream smp are at the top, with 20 and 18 entries respectively.
age distribution: the majority of your blorbos are adults. "?" refers to characters with no canon age, and who cannot reasonably be assumed to be adults. it also applies to ageless characters, like gods or robots.
pronoun distribution: the overwhelming majority of your blorbos are he/hims! its not even fucking close!
human vs nonhuman: please be aware that this might not be 100% accurate, i do not know all of these characters, so i might have labeled a nonhuman as a human if they looked human. this is very rough
human: 55%
nonhuman: 30%
?: 15%
the most common nonhuman entries were robots, followed by cookies (cookie run), demons, and pokemon.
repeats: the rules said not to repeat characters but i think we all know how that went. here are the characters that had more than one slide
bdubs (hermitcraft/3rd life/last life): 3 slides
goodtimeswithscar (hermitcraft/3rd life/last life): 3 slides
jonathan sims (the magnus archives): 2 slides
ethoslab (hermitcraft/3rd life/last life): 2 slides
jade harley (homestuck): 2 slides
xerxes break (pandora hearts): 2 slides
br'aad vengolor (just roll with it): 2 slides
abed nadir (community): 2 slides
and thats all folks!
its really nice to see someone talking about this, i think its so important since just the other day my younger brother (a self identified gamer) ,when i was gonna change a game in easy mode since i couldn’t beat a battle, asked why that existed since its “cheating” and i realized that most people don't understand playing games isn’t supposed to be incredibly stressful and unfun. video games should be able to adjust to your abilities so everyone can have fun.
I also really like how minecraft has those sound captions and the arrows showing where they’re coming from. It makes minecraft one of the few games I can play without being paranoid if the sound are coming from the game or not.
also heres some hot takes for accessibility features that i feel should be in every game no matter what
interchangeable one handed controls (yes, even directional input)
all captions, including sounds ("[pig oinks]" etc)
high and low contrast modes
easy mode.
You will make mistakes, you will act irrationally. You will commit some wrongs that cannot be fully righted. People will dislike you and misunderstand you for all sorts of reasons. None of these things make you a bad person. All you can do is try your best to be kind, to learn and grow.
anyways fuck school fuck dress code dress how you fucking want
What's a babysitter in the agere community and what tips can they use.?
A babysitter in agere is a type of caregiver who babysit regressors, and they are generally a lot like "regular" babysitters.
They might look after the regressor while their caregiver is away or busy, assist caregivers who sometimes need help taking care of their little one, or care for regressors who don't have a cg. It is possible to be a babysitter for more than one regressor, and some babysitters also look after multiple at once.
In a lot of cases, the babysitter will act as a secondary caregiver for the regressor.
Since babysitters are a subtype of caregivers, they will be able to use a lot of the same tips. Here are some posts that might be useful to babysitters (and caregivers in general):
