Hiii I Changed My Pfp!!! I Gave You Credit Too So Dw About That!!! Mwah Mwah!!!

I know you have all probably seen the esims for gaza posts circulating. Some of you have probably looked at them and thought maybe you should help out, but have weighed up the daunting process of signing up for something you're unfamiliar with vs. the gut-wrenching scale of the things people are going through on the ground right now, and you've put it off or questioned whether it will make enough of a difference vs. some other future kind of activism you could put that $6+ towards. I'm not calling you out or scolding you, it is natural to feel conflicted and ambivalent about the multiple calls for aid that you are seeing on social media.

but consider this: what would you do if you suddenly had to leave your home? how would you cope? how would you begin to plan where to go next, or figure out what to do to take care of yourself? most likely you would reach reflexively for your phone.

telecoms access is not a petty luxury in 2024. a loaded esim means the ability to call family members and find out where they are and whether they're safe, and whether they need anything you can provide for them. it means access to maps and regular updates on the situation unfolding around you. it means you can look up whether it's safe to drink rain water, or how to tie a type of knot you've never had to think about before, or how to treat an injury without medical supplies. it means the ability to tell people outside the situation what you are seeing, what you are feeling, what you are thinking. it is an absolutely crucial resource. and it starts at $6 for 7 days.

many many people have observed that internet access is changing the way the world understands genocide. internet access is life or death, and it is shaping modern history in front of you. and it starts at $6 for 7 days.

please, please visit gazaesims.com and spend 5 minutes and $6 to change the way this plays out for everyone.

Ok so this is one of the coolest sketches I've ever made

WELL HELLO THERE ROBOT LIKER COMMUNITY. welcome to the robot swag competition

submit your nominations here!

(this was directly inspired by others such as @nonbiney-swag-competition and @autismswagsummit !)

RULES AND NOTES:

contest will be held in the traditional tournament bracket format, with (hopefully) fair match ups that don't pit the most iconic robots out there with mr. literally who tf are you.

i will TRY MY BEST to get said match ups right but i MIGHT fuck it up. if so i'm sorry

robot swag being included in the title does not necessarily mean the robot has to have swag. the robot in question could be the most pathetic wet cat you've ever seen, and they could contest here. this is just for robots in general!

if you need to ask "does this character count as a robot?" when submitting a nomination, the answer is probably yes. don't think about it too hard

polls will last 24 hours each!

i made this contest with FICTIONAL robots in mind, but real ones can be included too!

i'll likely be restricting things to one robot per media, sorry for anyone who wanted glados vs wheatley action!

as for contestants, i'll mostly let the public decide, but i might sneak in a few of my own nominations! i've got 32 slots to fill, so get nominating!

hope everyone has fun! i'll update this blog as things move along. make sure to spread this around if you can so more people can see it <3

Starting off with my basically-main-character, Mosaïkó! They're a dragon god, sometimes going by the mortal guise of Nephrite, eldest and most powerful but oftentimes a calm and kind figure who has experienced...pretty much everything and is good to go to for guidance.

They live with their demigod partner and child in the God Hall, an Olympus-like place with white marble, blue, and gold architecture heavily inspired by the Isu in AC Odyssey, along with the ten other Gods, one of which they might be crushing on oops

They are very much aware of alternate universes and exist canonically in pretty much every world I've made.

^^Dragon and human(oid) refs, in no particular order. The first image is part of my header (cause! I love them enough for that), and the second-to-last was actually drawn by NovaArora on Art Fight, or @mother-of-monsters-verse on this (@ isn't working??? but that's their user), many thanks to them!

it's amazing how perfectly the recent trans hunter (toh spoilers) post encapsulates my thoughts about trans Peril headcanons

you know, april fools 2023 IS going to be the 10th anniversary of the original. im just saying ya kno.

Though it’s been a year since I was active in that fandom I do have the urge to draw WoF stuff, I just don’t know how to cater to my newly found “everything has to be anatomically accurate” side without thoroughly disregarding canon
