Rip Microsoft

Imagine if you had a neighbour who keeps performing songs from Phantom of the Opera in his apartment every night, by himself but accompanied by a parrot, which he has taught to sing Christine’s part. Admittedly it’s kind of obnoxious but you are far too baffled to even be properly annoyed. And also you don’t want to confront someone with that kind of power and determination. So every once in a while you just hear this guy dramatically bellow

“SING FOR ME!”

[ASTONISHINGLY HIGH-PITCHED PARROT SHRIEK]

A lot of people around me are having kids and every day it becomes more apparent that hitting your children to punish them is insane because literally everything can be a horrible punishment in their eyes if you frame it as such.

Like, one family makes their toddler sit on the stairs for three minutes when he hits his brother or whatever. The stairs are well lit and he can see his family the whole time, he’s just not allowed to get up and leave the stairs or the timer starts over. He fucking hates it just because it’s framed as a punishment.

Another family use a baseball cap. It’s just a plain blue cap with nothing on it. When their toddler needs discipline he gets a timeout on a chair and has to put the cap on. When they’re out and about he just has to wear the cap but it gets the same reaction. Nobody around them can tell he’s being punished because it’s in no way an embarrassing cap, but HE knows and just the threat of having to wear it is enough.

And there isn’t the same contempt afterwards I’ve seen with kids whose parents hit them. One time the kid swung a stick at my dog, his mother immediately made him sit on the stairs, he screamed but stayed put, then he came over to my dog and gently said “Sorry Ellie” and went back to playing like nothing happened, but this time without swinging sticks at the nearby animals.

Yandere Aku???

(I'm a fan of Samurai Jack and I like how Aku's character is written)

Aku would fit the yandere role pretty well, but not in a classic yandere way.

I mean in a way that he's possessive, but he wouldn't really know how to spoil by human means.

He would put the head of your(and his) enemies next to you while you're asleep and give you a big animal to have for a meal. It can range from a boar to a giant edible alien. If you were a warrior and can already do all of that on your own, he would still do that, but he would find you more attractive.

He doesn't stalk you like a yandere usually would either. He would most likely watch you through his "magic tv". As for protection, he already has a henchman or two taking care of that.

As for your "first meeting" with Aku, he would most likely just grab you and bring you back to his tower without second thought. It's funny to imagine him grabbing you in a giant bird form like in the beginning of Wind Waker-

Of course, that doesn't mean Aku's constant spying stops there. He would keep you in a cage or by his side and watch you like you were the most entertaining thing he's ever owned.

You would probably think that Aku sees you as a pet or a plaything to look at. But Aku sees you as a "lover" that needs to be "protected".

And by "protected", I mean keeping you in his room, under lock and key, in his tower, where no one has the slightest clue that you're even in there.

You can hope that Samurai Jack eventually finds you one day, but I doubt he would make it to the tower for a looong time.

So, you might as well get comfy and let Aku spoil you, ok?

be careful promoting unverified fundraisers! happilygeneralhideout/janet cheptoo is a documented scammer profiting off of the genocide by copying a paragraph of nisreen shaheen’s gofundme https://gofund.me/223a4c96

they’ve been running this scam for months now, every time they are terminated they just make a new blog and spam send the exact same ask, and every time their PayPal account is reported they make a new one under a new name. you can use the tumblr search bar to search their previous names “purity sikuku” or “mercy jerop” or “dennis ochieng” or “julius kipkorir”

Thank you for notifying me of this! Beware of scams like these accounts

@prblynotaduck

Bro, this hilarious

You’re getting bonus points for this

I have made a title card for my au

So we all know Kinger TADC, right? Loveable doofus who forgets things a lot, the Oldest person in the circus who's been there the longest out of everyone currently there. The circus grandpa! This guy!

Welllll, I think his habit of being a, ah, forgetful fellow (aka his Lost Marbles)

Miiiiiight just be an act. A coping mechanism, perhaps!

Kinger said some really insightful stuff, *in a different voice than normal*, and then when Ragatha expressed surprise about it.

Right back to normal Kinger stuff!

This a message to every single one of you!

A post that Freakshow Au + Sm-Baby Fans NEED TO HEAR. READ IT.

—————

I cannot stand the people on tumblr in Mushys comments accusing her of so many horrible things. People have been stating that Mushy has been drawing “non-con” and supporting “abuse”. I will not go into too much detail on how it is affecting her and why but it is incredibly overwhelming for her, and she is not comfortable posting for the time being- and you people are making it hard for her to enjoy it anymore.

Mushy is portraying the au and characters how they would canonly work and that does not make her a bad person. The large amount of people trying to say that she has been drawing non-con of the late absolutely SICKENS me. You clearly do not have any understanding for that terminology and should not be throwing it around. Maybe if people paid attention to the au, the lore and how they are characterized you would come to the conclusion that NO ONE WANTS TO BE IN THE FREAKSHOW AU.

If you need a reminder of the definition, The TADC Freakshow Au is an Au where a horrible virus infects the Ai and twists their reality into a horror mindscape. THIS IS NOT CAINE OR ABLES FAULT. Caine and Able ARE AI. They are corrupted by the virus unwillingly and what Able puts Pomni through in the Able-Owned Pomni Au is yes, considered psychological abuse. HOWEVER why in gods name would you assume she supports that shit? Do you people just assume whenever someone draws a death scene they support murder?? or when someone depicts a scene of an animal getting hurt in a fanfic or movie that director/writer supports animal abuse?? Does that seriously go through your head?

EVERYONE in the Freakshow au in under some sort of psychological abuse- HELL in the original show they are. Like did you even watch it? And back to Freakshow, it’s a HORROR AU. People are killed left and right and no one seems to have a problem with that hm? THIS IS FICTION. PEOPLE NEED TO LEARN THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN FICTION AND REALITY BECAUSE WHEN YOU DO NOT DO SO YOU HURT PEOPLE IN REAL LIFE. Not the people producing fictional content, YOU.

People are quite literally, harassing Mushy right now and it is heartbreaking to see my friend experience this. If you do not like certain content that Mushy creates, BLOCK her or BLOCK her tags. People asking for her to tag her art with “abuse” makes her highly uncomfortable. If you do not like this, simply take responsibility for your own viewing and stop interacting.

People need to stop assuming that Mushy is also not trying to find comfort in drawing certain topics. You people need to stop assuming that Mushy lives some sort of cheery happy go lucky life. She experiences a lot, she is going through A LOT right now and you people dog piling these accusations onto her is not only just disrespectful as a person in general, but as her follower. It is truly just disappointing to see just how rude people can be when they are supposed to be your biggest supporters.

A tag MIGHT be arranged, something as simple as “Able-Owned Au” and if this is done then block it. It is that easy. It is so so easy and simple to take initiative for yourself and what you see and how you feel about it by limiting it on your own end than going out of your way to make someone feel horrible about themselves.

Mushys blog is HER blog. She can draw whatever she would like to and if anyone has an issue with this you can very kindly, FUCK OFF. The block button exists, use it. The block tags method exists, use it.

Stop harassing creators.

People have written a lot of touchy-feely pieces on this subject but I thought I’d get right to the heart of the matter

some SICK FUCK just responded to a FIVE YEAR OLD COMMENT I left on a Hamilton animatic to say "I don't actually care about this comment, I just wanted to remind you you had a Hamilton phase 5 years ago". What kind of MALICIOUS,
