Im enjoying the longevity of tumblrs recontextualization style of humor. a seemingly innocuous post followed by like "posts that a gnome would make" or like "are you a phone"
various short advice from pathologic 2′s loading screens
i love pitting classically trained magic users against self-taught magic users in sci-fi/fantasy but it shouldn’t be snobbish disdain for them it should be terror
“WHO TAUGHT YOU LIGHTNING BEFORE BASIC TELEKINESIS. LOSING MY MIND WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU JUST DID IT. WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU CAST WITH YOUR BARE HANDS”
WHAT DO YOU MEAN THAT YOU’VE ‘HACKED’ MANA DRAIN
WHAT DO YOU MEAN ‘DRINK SOME JUICE’
WHAT IS ‘LOW BLOOD SUGAR’
WHY IS THIS WORKING
I HATE YOU SO MUCH
Okay but other direction can ALSO be a lot of fun
“What do you mean I don’t have to burn half my blood to create a fireball?”
“Why can you teleport more than once without vomiting? WTF is ‘quantum displacement awareness’???”
“You know HOW many spells? HOW? ... What do you mean ‘my spell book’?”
“Ooooh, you’re just summoning water portions from the Plane of Water... Lol I thought I HAD to combine hydrogen and oxygen molecules to generate water in small amounts. That’s so much easier then what I was doing!”

PSA: Don't use Open Office
I keep seeing people recommending Open Office as an alternative to Word, and uh... look, it is, technically, an open source alternative to Word. And it can do a lot of what Word can, genuinely! But it is also an abandoned project that hasn't been updated in nine years, and there's an active fork of it which is still receiving updates, and that fork is called LibreOffice, and it's fantastic.
Seriously, if you think that your choices are either "grit your teeth and pay Microsoft for a subscription" or "support free software but have a kind of subpar office suite experience", I guarantee that it's because you're working with outdated information, or outdated software. Most people I know who have used the latest version of LibreOffice prefer it to Word. I even know a handful of people who prefer it to Scrivener.
Open Office was the original project, and so it has the most name recognition, and as far as I can tell, that's really the only reason people are still recommending it. It's kind of like if people were saying "hey, the iPhone 14 isn't your only smart phone option!" but then were only ever recommending the Samsung Galaxy S5 as an alternative. LibreOffice is literally a version of the same exact program as Open Office that's just newer and better – please don't get locked into using a worse tool just because the updated version of the program has a different name!
i have an opposite of bullying technique every artfight where i sniff out ppl who are like 13 and i mass compliment their stuff w a drawing. everyone should do this. get your friends to do it, like a biker gang
i articulated this rather sloppily so, agreeing with people in the tags, encouraging kids with ocs from fandoms you may have grown up with that were seen as “cringey” is incredibly cathartic. giving art to beginner or struggling artists boosts their spirit during artfight as well. you or a group of your friends showing anyone who might be ignored because of their interests or their skill not being “good enough” that You Care is just a cool thing to do and will probably make your younger self happy too. if you have the time, go for it!
I usually search for people that haven't recieved any art yet, so yeah, you should totally do this!
Sorry to everyone who’s enjoyed the last 130 years of science and culture journalism, but Disney needs the money to fund Toy Story 9

When we were kids, my sister thought I was watching a show for adults because of how hard the intro drops.
Most attractive male videogame character
I forget, is he still a dad in the remake?
Yes and the way he looks at and talks to his daughter makes you believe there's still good in the universe
You're right sorry
Barret wears the sunglasses because his intimidation factor is cut by 75% if people can see how kind and soulful his eyes are.
silvr-sights asked:
related to old ocs of yours: bring back ark/arco. He's really cool and would look cool with your modern style.
nightmargin answered:
I actually updated Ark’s design around 2 years ago! just some rough sketches but I guess it couldn’t hurt to show it here…. he’s a hacker who does computer things and plays pretty big role in the Margin game I am currently working on, but you won’t see him for a while (he likes to stay out of sight)
Since no one seems to be teaching the kids this anymore:
Don't post anything with specific registration numbers on it, kids! This includes driver's licenses (we're so proud you can drive now, but don't show us your name, face, address, and driver number!), passports (travel is fun, but just post pictures of what you saw after the trip is over!), train/plane/concert/show tickets (see above!), or credit cards oh my god people are posting their entire credit card online that will put you in massive debt and screw your credit score for life please do not!!!
This has been a PSA from your concerned friend online. Please protect yourself. Some secrets are not only okay, but necessary.
AND!! And! This also includes posting pictures of barcodes, especially on boxes from things you’ve ordered from Amazon, UPS, etc etc etc.
Barcodes are scannable. I occasionally have to do this for clients at work, and no, I do not work for Amazon, FedEx or UPS or anything like that. At the very least, barcodes contain your home (shipping) address. Do not post images that show a straight on picture of a barcode - the picture of the barcode may or may not be scannable, by people who may or may not work for the company you ordered from.
And absolutely positively do not post pictures containing a tracking number! You don’t even need a barcode reader to decode that information.
And license plates. DO NOT POST photos of your car where your license or registration sticker are visible! This goes for friends' vehicles that might show up in your photos too.
Don't post photos where your street number or house/apartment building number are visible and turn off geotagging/ location tagging for photos on your phone.
The Internet Elders warn you about these things for really good reasons.
