Just thought I’d make a masterpost for my blog ^_^ so y’all can find my stuff easier
#star arts (my own work, always, both fanart and original)
#star writes (formal essays and articles)
#miscellaneous written fancies (my original poetry, although one or two annoyingly don’t show up in the tag so drop me an ask if you can’t find one and let me know so I can sort it out)
#star speaks (meant to be purely original posts but I accidentally got these mixed up with reblogs where I add something, my own thoughts, and all, however if you wanna find a particular Star only post it’s here)
#star reblogs (reblogs only tag)
#star photography (literally anything with my photography)
#star bakes (baking chaos)
#star watches stuff (media commentary)
#EDdiary (my diary posts documenting my experiences attempting to recover from an eating disorder, at times triggering so be aware to tread carefully, particularly graphic posts I do tag and add a warning. Not daily, just whenever I feel like it)
#a bend in the road (musings on my personal careers and ambitions as well as my journey getting there)

Listen if this is for real from the devs of Infold this is 10000000000% good news
Piggybacking off of my experiences investigating Voltron, Doctor Who, Steven Universe and others; if something is 100% scrapped it is not acknowledged again
Voltron wasn’t even that big of an IP, it was just about bordering mainstream, but as soon as season 8 happened all evidence of development and the final product being different was removed from any online source be it the actors’ social media posts, animation studio, whatever. LADs has far surpassed whatever cultural power Voltron has had, it’s an extremely lucrative game and if the company wanted to they would have placed the devs under NDAs the same way the Voltron cast + writers were. They would be under NDAs the way MCU or DW actors are. To leak something like this when you’ve essentially erased a character from a game completely would be career suicide.
So
If real
This is good news
This means it’s still in development and it’s just postponed, and regardless of the backlash the devs themselves are determined to support us and the game and fight against the censorship.
If you have the habit of picking at your skin, Valko won't have it. He'll give you a couple warnings once he notices the behavior, his ear twitching whenever he hears the slight sound of you tugging at your skin.
Valko stalks over to where you're seated at your desk, taking your hand in his and prying it away from your skin. "Aht. Hey. Stop that, alright? You gotta let it heal."
If he spots it once, he'll be on the lookout, so good luck hiding anything from him. And if he catches the scent of blood, he'll be on your case immediately.
His solution? He steals one of your hands. Good luck picking your skin as a fidget with only one hand to handle your primary task! He doesn't mind intertwining your fingers with his own for hours at a time, and there's no escaping his ironclad grip.
Mindlessly, your hand finds a scab on your neck, and you start to peel it out of habit. You startle as you suddenly hear footsteps approaching your office, and a few seconds later, there he is. He approaches you like a wolf on the prowl, raising an eyebrow when you meet his gaze. "Alright, pup. I gave you enough chances. Now, it's time for consequences."
Your chest feels tight. Is he frustrated with you for not trying hard enough? "I-I wasn't thinking, Val, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to, I-"
"Hey." He cups your cheeks, staring deep into your eyes and making sure you're listening. "I'm not mad, okay? No apologizing. I didn't mean to spook you." He flashes you a grin, then takes one of your hands in his, waving it in the air. "I'm just taking this hostage for a while."
Eventually, he'll start idly stroking your hand, his big thumb running back and forth across the veins on the back. He'll also hold your hand in both of his, playing with your smaller fingers, or gently trail his fingernails up and down your forearm to make you shiver, holding your wrist in place with his other hand.
And if that still doesn't work, and you have the gall to start doing it again while he's right there? Well, clearly you need to learn your lesson! He wraps his arms around both of yours and cuddles up beside you, keeping you immobilized in his embrace and refusing to let go. If you won't use your hands responsibly, then you don't deserve to use them at all!
(He knows you're more likely to indulge in the habit while stressed, so he decides to extract you from the stressful situation altogether. If there's one thing he's good at, it's bringing up your mood!)
"Valko-"
Your protest is cut off as he wraps his huge arms around you and squeezes you tight, rolling over to trap you on top of his chest. You squirm, trying to free your arms, but it's as if you're trying to move a brick wall. He kisses up your neck, and you giggle, feeling his smile press against your skin.
"You're staying here until I decide you've learned your lesson. You're trapped." He nips your neck playfully, and you try to wriggle free again, just for fun.
"But-"
He turns on his side, nestling you between his chest and the back of the couch, allowing you to turn and face him. You're enveloped in his warmth, and you let yourself relax, no longer caring so much about your trapped arms as you look up at him.
His breath grazes your forehead as he speaks, his voice soft. "No buts. I said I'd help you stop, and a wolf keeps his word." He kisses once, twice, three times to your temple, and a fourth to the tip of your nose. He chuckles when you smile up at him, and guides your head into the crook of his neck.
"And this wolf is feeling preeetty tired. I think it's time for a nap."
No matter how much you kick or whine, he won't budge. With a huff, you go limp, letting yourself give in to his warmth, and your eyes slowly droop closed. You think you hear a quiet rumble of satisfaction from his chest, but when you open an eye to check, it seems he's fast asleep. Must have been your imagination.
He can be a heavy sleeper when he wants to be, so there's no chance of getting him to let you go if he decides to take a nap. I bet he snores just a little bit, too....
okay now that we’ve a had couple lesbian blockbusters and milfs are having a romance moment, we need to bring back the manic pixie dream girl. she was never fuckin suited to fixing all the problems of some boring twenty year old everyman, but you know who could actually benefit from a quirky free-spirited blue haired girl with pronouns (she/they)? a newly divorced forty-something mom who’s trying to learn how to be herself for the first time in her life
Welp I crunched the numbers and aside from the fact that my siblings and I all work part time and have barely enough savings to get the plane tickets, my Lola’s brother died and we’re going to have to stay with my Lolo in shifts for the last week of July and first week of August while her and my aunty fly out for the funeral.
*sighs*
It’s okay my friend’s moving to Madinah Insha’Allah I can visit her next time I go to Saudi 🥹
Madinah Meet Up 2027 yo I’m gonna save to make it happen Insha’Allah

Hey! Here's your reminder to check your basic needs! Do you have a way to acquire dinner for the next few days? If you drink something that isn't just straight tap water do you have enough? Are there any meds you've been running low on?
This message brought to you by "This heat made me not wanna leave my apartment for 10 days in a row, during which time everything blended together and not only did we nearly run out of groceries twice, but I fully ran out of my antidepressants on Wednesday and didn't notice until Sunday when I spontaneously started crying for no reason".

“As with most ad blockers, using our ad blocker can lead to some additional buffering times. But once your video loads, you won't be interrupted with ads.”
The browser is using filters from the uBlock Origin ad blocker to detect and block commercials on YouTube's website. But there is a trade-of
my hill to die on is that if we had some real conversations about what eating disorders are, like, definitionally, a loooooot of people would realize they have eating disorders that should not be normalized
Im done falling for guilt trips. This is an unprofitable blogging website with a dying userbase. This isn't activism. Blogging isn't activism. Reblogging isn't activism. I don't have to do shit. I don't have to reblog shit. My morality and my ethics are not dictated by what I choose to reblog or choose to scroll past. Fuck off

the internet is terrible for people with moral scrupulosity. it speaks in absolutes and hooks us up to a constant drip feed of reassurance that we can become dependent on very easily. please just remember that you do not need to do penance; you do not need someone else to tell you that you’re worthy of what you have. most people in real life have fucked up threefold and far more gravely in their lives.
We need to do something about straight women's misery in their hetero relationships they're largely just resigned to living in I'm so serious. Can we try women's lib again can we liberate the women
