Of Course, Trump Was The Wall That Was Built For Elon To Bump Into All Along.

there are two competing sects on this website - one that uses the word "spicy" to mean "neurodivergent" and one that uses the word "spicy" to mean "sexual content." i do not like either of them

MINE.

I was today years old when I learned that when you type “otp: true” in AO3 search results it filters out fics with additional ships, leaving only the fics where your otp is the main ship

Oh yes. Delicious

So why couldn't X!Gaster make the marks go away? If he wanted to "fix" Cross being trans, I feel like that would be a easier way to do it

hello again! i assume this is the same anon xD

i'm sure that that's how he would have eventually chosen to "cure" cross' transness if he'd gotten around to it in time, but in TAU, "code" is something of a misnomer in the first place - it's not something as "easy" (in quotes because code is a pain in the ass for me) to read and understand as like, python or javascript, and especially not in living, sentient entities who are constantly taking in new information, processing it on multiple levels, and generally just... yanno, changing.

so 1: in order to erase cross' transness he would have had to do a deep-dive on a huge tome of code that was actively changing and growing underneath his feet, and 2: in order to delete only that part of his code and nothing more, he'd need to know where it came from.

and the trouble, here, is that cross is not actually a "pure" sans.

in fact, speaking more meta - gaster would have no way to know this for sure - i'd like to think that cross' eye markings are technically because he's part toriel. not a super significant amount, mind you, but he is the only person in nightmare's pantheon who can heal, he inexplicably loves to bake even where swap/blue doesn't, and in certain AUs where he reaches LV 20... he mysteriously grows horns.

again, speaking meta, i would have to assume that his eye markings are probably related to that bit of code - but in order to find and erase it, gaster would have to basically destroy his sense of self and start over. so even if he'd gotten to that point and tried to "fix it", he likely would have given up anyway simply because it wasn't worth the work it would take - and in that case, there are easier "solutions" to be had.

You know how people keep saying ____ if it was written by vivziepop?

I wanna see helluva/hazbin if it were written by the boondocks writers

i like when people draw siffrin covered in blood. they deserve it (<- positively meant)

See what you don't know is the "oh my shit" is him realizing that AMY has to get her licks in too now, and Shadow has been relegated to puppy bites in comparison.

DBZ Abridged quotes my beloved

lahore pigeons are some of the most visually appealing birds out there. like in terms of visual design. very minimalist, good contrast.

The nerve

honestly the discourse on this site is so bad that I have a new hot take: if you use tumblr at all fuck you

I love that these two showed up with each other.
