Spray paint a plane and they'll detain you without trial and call you a terrorist.
Kidnap a foreign head of state - and Keir Starmer will make it clear we've played no part in it but will wait for the scheduled press conference in a few hours before potentially condemning it
Girl..........
People are going to try and lure you into debates about whether Maduro was a good guy or not and the thing is, it doesnāt matter for the purposes of discussing whether violent kidnappings and extrajudicial murders by the US government are ok. No, they arenāt! End of convo.
This all seems pretty unbecoming of a FIFA Peace Prize winner
What was the last movie or TV show you watched in 2025?

I have two Malec fics that I abandoned 7 years ago. The plot bunnies are back so Iāve been dropping my notes in my Google Drive folder. My goal is to ensure that I finish BOTH fics (looking at 200k words for each of them) before I start posting. So maybe Iāll post them at the end of the year? š
Glad I could help āŗļø
Nah. That author was right. If the BJ scene was explicitly described then the fic warrants an E rating. Whoever commenter was, theyāre probably someone whoās new to fandom and doesnāt understand the rules. They probably donāt know the different between Lime and Lemons in the FFN days either. Smh
M for me is that thereās sex in it (any kind of sex, not just penetrative), but it isnāt really descriptive and it mostly fades to black. When itās not a fade to black sex scene and you go all out with describing every bit of the act, then the ficās earned an Explicit rating, even if itās just a BJ
Itās 2026 in my corner of the world already. Happy New Year everyone!!!!!!!!
Thatās okay. I recall how stressed you mentioned you were about work before the break. Please take the time to fully rest, and recharge. Whenever youāre ready to share a new chapter of fic with us, trust me when I say weāll be here waiting. Take your time and rest first please š„¹
Kizu. I will read EVERY SINGLE WANGXIAN fic you give me and offer my eternal gratitude and unborn-never-would-be-had babies to you for them šš¾
Oooooh. This is actually a very interesting take; specially because youāre so right about his arrogance coexisting with his low self-esteem. Itās part of why I find him so fascinating as a character.
Thanks Kala š„¹š„¹ā¤ļø
#HappyDragonAgeDay to the franchise that holds my heart, thatās been my salvation, my happy place, my hope ā¤ļøā¤ļøā¤ļø
Ooof. That sucks Kizu. My laptop is also on her last legs (Iāve had her for 10 years now). Iām just keeping my fingers and toes crossed that she hangs in there till end of next year as Iām saving up for her replacement š©š©š©. Glad you were able to cop a new one on sale tho šš¾šš¾
Thanks Knight. I did ignore them mostly and just blocked until my mutual stepped in to help cuz it was hard playing the game and blocking them at the same time. I just felt really bad for the otter Black folx who were watching my stream and got hit Witt the vitriol cuz it popped up on screen
But I would rather not have to be caught that unprepared next time. So yeah, for anyone of you who stream regularly or who help streamers out with modding, how do you go about it. Also like to note that this was on YouTube, not even Twitch.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I can go about getting mods for streams. Just finished one that had the racists asshats come out in streams and they found a way to work around my blocked words and flooded my chat with the n word. A mutual eventually noticed and helped me with moderationā¦
The trapped Evanuris were the last defense Thedas had against the Executors. The possibility of them breaking out was what stayed the Executors hands. Now that they have ALL been permanently removed from the equation, Thedas in its fragile and unprotected state, is prime for the takingā¦
It's cool how we keep proving over and over and over again that there's a significant market for narrative-heavy, character-driven, single-player experiences in video games and publishers just categorically refuse to believe us
The audio drama short āField Reportā written by @sylviafeketekuty.bsky.social and directed by @liljbat.bsky.social is out now! A dusk drive back from Red Deer gives us a glimpse of what happened at the Donut Mill from Auguryās side.
