Back when the Morning Stars sang together, and all the angels shouted for joy.

you ever get assigned something as a project in school and for the rest of your life you have a strange attachment to the subject. in like seventh grade i had an assignment to make a poster about the elemental propoerties of osmium and to this day everytime someone mentions it im like 'YEAAAAAAH OSMIUM MENTIONED!!!!!!!!'

hi i made this for @mothballmilkshake's one year celebration of her fic Stolen Moments!!! this is the first piece of fanart i've ever drawn and i am so incredibly proud of my drawing progress over this past semester :3

my favorite bit is his bellbottom pants and his little shoesies!

(okay no, but put in the tags something youre the unofficial influencer of. Like something youve purchased enough, used enough, bragged about and endorsed enough to others that you should be an influencer for)

for purposes...later........

My personal goal is to try and make fanfic binding as accessible to everyone as possible, so here are some resources on how to make a fanfic hardcover for under $25.

This is a barebones bind for the broke college students and such. Happy to field questions, too!

Here's a proposed budget breakdown:

Loosely organized thoughts:

Fanfic bookbinders often share typesets amongst each other. Never pay for a typeset for a fanfic.

You'll hear a lot about grain direction for your printer paper, but as a newbie on a budget without your own printer, settle for some nice 92 bright paper. If you like the hobby, splurge after but expect to pay at least 2-3x more for short grain paper.

Printing is a pain because some copy shops won't let you print intellectual property smut, and it's very expensive. You are better off bartering instead or looking for a free printer on Buy Nothing.

You know the thick paper wrapping that comes with online orders? It's a good weight for endpapers if you need to scrounge. Paper grocery bags or gift bags (birthday presents) might work, too.

Ask your local library to give you covers from books they are throwing out. Ask for outdated textbooks (those covers are built like tanks) or three-ring binders that are too busted to be binders anymore.

Obtain a used book that was mass produced (so your destruction of it does not impede anyone's access) and maybe even become a little vindictive with it.

If you can afford it, I recommend the Olfa SVR knife (~$10)

If you can afford it, upgrade your ruler to a t-square.

I really hope this resource is helpful! I want to stress how possible this is and encourage people to cherish what they love through art.

If you are interested in fanfic binding and have a little more disposable income, I have an affordable Fan Fiction Bookbinding Starter Pack that I carry on my site. I pack them myself and drop them 1x/month on the 15th.

i'm obsessed with him!!! pop off short king!!!!!!!

quick doodle cause 😭‼️ yes

HAPPY EASTER, DARLINGS!! 💛🐣✨️ Enjoy a Peep with pecs! ... No, I won't give more context.

hell yeah

u ever look at smth you made and ur like damnnn wtf i’m so talented actually

GO USE YOUR PUBLIC LIBRARY!!!! PREVENT IT FROM APPEARING UNDERUTILIZED AND THUS HAVING ITS FUNDING CUT!!!!!

also barnes and noble has the nook app which will give you a free book every friday if you have no library access

Started using phone time to read library ebooks instead of scrolling and it’s made me back into the crazy voracious reader I was at age 12. i’ve been averaging a book a day this week. everyone delete your social media and get your ass on libby

the purge but it's just one day a year when public librarians get to do whatever they want

another innocent soul...bit by the muse.........

godspeed 😔

I just wrote 3 chapters in 11 hours... I can't sleep, and I'm staring at my open word doc contemplating starting another one.

Some please send help. 🫠

I have a very impressive ability. I have the power to think about doing a task, and then not do it. the best part is I'm not even having fun, I feel bad the entire time

yknow that one clip of brennan lee mulligan talking about how when one of his friends in new york city would start to get a dead look in their eyes, the rest of the friend group would take them to get 20 dumplings for 5 dollars from a particular restaurant, and they would feast that night and be strong for the coming day?

i just ate two meals' worth of eggs, tater tots, and pancakes at my university's late-night breakfast thing for finals week and now i can be strong for the coming day(s)

i wish you all a very 20 dumplings for 5 dollars evening

they got ai summaries on proquest now 😔

wow wow wow

also a poem from the new, unreleased collection. very possibly my own all-time favourite.

this made me a lil weepy, not gonna lie

people with tooth decay aren't bad people. they aren't lazy either. neither are they unclean or irresponsible. tooth decay doesn't make you a bad person. you don't deserve mockery, judgement, or tooth pain for having any. the only thing people with tooth decay deserve is healthcare.

we need to slow down a little I'm so serious. all these quick short videos on tiktok, ig reels, and youtube, artists releasing quick little songs for the trend, tv shows releasing episodes at once, people using chat gpt and google ai overview because they get answers quickly but no validation done for the source, we need to sloww downn i really do not think our brains should be running this fast

I love bugs I love them they're so small and they have so many cool specialized survival niches a ton of them can fly and even more can just casually climb up walls they are tiny little dudes with their own individual powers and abilities and they control through hydraulics which is so. cool plus they are silly and weird and some of them are downright ridiculous and I love them so very much

GOD THEYRE GORGEOUS

CONGRATS 4lienbrainrot !!! What a beautiful dtiys, I definitely had to participate!! I love your human designs so much~

was JUST at my library job and singing myself snippets of the alphabet song

genuinely love how much of library work (and adulthood in general) is [lefty loosey, righty tighty] [alphabet song] [counting from 1-9 in your head] [alphabet song again] [wait, where does 5 go?] [snippet of alphabet song]

creating an environment where critical thinking skills have no other option but to atrophy causes so much harm.

I'm not anti-AI because all art needs to have a soul or whatever. I'm anti AI because it's making my clinicians dependent on the internet in a place that loses power often. I'm anti AI because I've seen it miss things a technician would have caught on microscopy. I'm anti-AI because it's killed my patients.

Medical AI software companies are rolling things out too quickly and making promises they can't keep. We're buying into it because capitalism is demanding everyone work faster on more patients but refuses to provide more staff or more support.

If it's bad enough that I'm seeing it in veterinary medicine, I'm terrified about what that means for patient care in humans.

For the record, I would never knowingly use or share AI generated art in anything I post, so if you ever catch me doing so, it was an accident, and I'd like you to let me know so I can delete it.

we are reaching the aforementioned fugue state

"Do it scared" is out. "Do it in a fugue so dense as to barely be penetrable by uncertainty" is in.

what do you mean you can't write 600 words. 600 of my own words are what got me into college, motherfucker. you better be able to write 600 words without getting fed recycled word vomit when you're applying to college, because admissions committees do not take kindly to that shit.

im still losing it over the "how did high schoolers write 600 word essays before chatgpt" post. 600 words. that is nothing. that is so few words what do you mean you can't write 600 words. 600 words. this post right here is 45 words.

a very happy neil banging out the tunes to all who celebrate

ITS APRIL 13 YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS

FETCH ME NEIL

you ask a student in april how they're doing and they'll say "oh i'm fine" but in reality they are treating themselves in such a way that violates the geneva convention on treatment of prisoners

REALLLLL

is my thesis introduction shaping up to be like [goes to count] four paragraphs? perhaps. but this works great bc less to edit after i send it off to my advisor
