Can I offer you a bit of sappy sweetness in these trying times?

Fun fact about Tobi: I have a blistering personal hatred for Alex Jones. Mostly because he was my mentally ill, brain damaged mother's (I'm not being cruel she literally has a hole in her brain from cancer) introduction to the world of conspiracy theories and alt right bullshit.
So for years, every now and then, I put a curse on him. Curses are fun because they let you feel like you're hurting someone without ever actually doing anything illegal that could conceivably harm them. My curse was in the form of a drawing- Anubis, the Egyptian god of death and judgment, as a jackal, eating the heart out of Jones' chest.
Today I wake up to the news that Jones' stupid fucking Infowars channel was bought by the Onion, who intends to gut it out and use its corpse as a puppet to mock the ignorance the channel once espoused as truth.
I'm not saying there is or is not a god. But I have a sneaking suspicion there might be an Anubis.
Drew another one to celebrate why not. Suffer and die you stupid motherfucker.

Newt/Hermann Secret Santa-Winter Exchange 2024! ❄️👨🔬❤️👨🔬❄️
It's November, so it's time for what I can only assume is everyone's most beloved holiday tradition, the Newt/Hermann 2024 Secret Santa-Winter Exchange!
- How does it work? If you sign up for the exchange by November 27th, I’ll randomly and anonymously match up all participants and assign you a giftee by Tuesday, December 3rd. It’ll then be your responsibility to create some form of Newt/Hermann content (fic, art, etc.) for your giftee by January 31st, 2024, and in return, someone will make some form of Newt/Hermann content for you!
- Keep your giftee a secret until you share your gift with them!
- Like last year this deadline is a little extended compared to past exchanges. Though you are of course welcome to finish up your gift as early as you would like!
- There are some more specific details about signing up in the form, as well as a spot to share your ‘wishlist’ (i.e., tropes or scenarios you just can’t live without that might be helpful if your giftee needs some inspiration!), and another spot to indicate interest in being a pinch hitter.
- I’ll be crossposting about this on Bluesky/Twitter/Instagram as well.
- For those of you who will be posting your gifts to AO3, I have made a collection for the 2024 exchange right here which you’re welcome to add your works to.
Please let me know if you have any questions! As always have fun! ❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️

“Many people seem to think it is foolish, even superstitious, to believe the world could still change for the better. And it is true that in winter is still sometimes so bitingly cold that one is tempted to say ‘What do I care if there is a summer, its warmth is no help to me now’. Yes, evil often seems to surpass good. But then, in spite of us, and without our permission, there comes at last an end to the bitter frosts. One morning the wind turns, and there is a thaw. And so I must still have hope.”

Newt usually doesn’t bother hitting up Shatterdome parties, mostly because he’s become too high-strung, like, 80% of the time to actually enjoy himself at anything that cuts into time that could be spent doing something useful in the lab (he can’t believe he’s actually saying that), but the flyers posted semi-discreetly on corkboards around the base for this year’s Halloween bash caught his eye. A rooftop Halloween bonfire. The brazenness of advertising something so clearly a massively illegal fire hazard impressed him, and in the spirit of sticking it to the man Newt felt like he was obliged to go.
He half-asses a costume an hour before the bonfire starts with the help of some random shit he finds around the lab and shows up fashionably late with a six-pack of low quality beer he shoved into the back of the lab minifridge a couple months ago. The bonfire is being held at the same rooftop he and Hermann sometimes sneak off to to bitch at each other in private when they need some fresh air, to Newt’s surprise, since he’s been operating under the assumption for several years now that they're the only two who know about it. Hermann was the one to pick the lock on the maintenance access door, after all.
The bonfire is more of a controlled campfire in a metal fire pit and being heavily monitored by a j-tech with a poker in a Frankenstein’s monster costume, but Newt finds it admirable all the same.

i'm a writer irl (can't say who because my agent would put me into a blender and press go) and honestly the funniest and most humiliating incident of my life was the time my finished manuscript triggered a plagiarism flag with the publisher for two lines of prose in my literary fiction novel...
.... which was word for word similar to a paragraph in a certain explicit work on FFN starring elrond and his batsman from the hobbit films, aka that one elf that looked like he ate panic attacks for breakfast (i forget his name but it's Figwit II) where the lord of imladris bends said twink over his writing desk and gives him the battering ram treatment.
and if you think i had to sit in front of one if the biggest publishing companies in the world and admit that it was, in fact, me who wrote the fic where the lord of imladris bends said twink over his writing desk and gives him the battering ram treatment in order to avoid being wrongly flagged for plagiarism, you would be absolutely correct.
(yes they published the book)
This takes a lot of courage in a lot of important ways good job OP

Anonymous asked:
Spooky halloween drawing request! What spooky cryptid do you think Hermann and Newton would be??? 👻
Newt is definitely the Loch Ness monster and Hermann is all legs so he’s definitely Fresno night crawler stock

I fear those 43 research center monkeys will never be captured and will cause an invasive primate problem in South Carolina.
There are 40+ monkeys lose in South Carolina rn, as of 53 minutes ago they know where they are but haven’t managed to capture them. We don’t know exactly how many monkeys have escaped or what species they are.
