Agreed. Sorry, I don't have anything substantial to add to the conversation at the moment. I just wanted to share this.
(me, my parents, my sister, and the baby are sitting at the kitchen table eating lunch)
baby, pointing at the light fixture over the table and signing "on": o.*
my sister: we actually can't turn that light on right now, because the lightbulb inside is burnt out! it needs a new one.
baby: ighbu.
sister: yes, lightbulb! granddaddy said after we eat he's going to climb up there on a ladder and change it, and then the light will come on!
baby: gadada! adda, uuu! ighbu o!
sister: exactly!
baby, signing "on" and pointing at the light and then my dad, with increasing urgency: GADADA ADDA UUUU. O.
my sister: we're going to finish eating first though, ok?
baby: nonono. O. gadada adda uuu.
[a split second goes by]
baby, pointing to himself: ba. adda uuu. ighbu.
me: you're going to climb the ladder and change the lightbulb yourself?
baby: dzyeah. *pointing to the buckle where he is buckled into the high chair* ububu.
me: unbuckle you? so you can change the lightbulb?
baby, highly businesslike: dzyeah.
*pronounced like "on" without the n
I like this post. This may be the thing that gets me into local politics. Fanfiction inspo. LoL
I wish everyone who was ever into knock down drag out fandom fights would direct all that energy towards their city council, I feel like that would transform society overnight.

Thinking about continuing this, maybe even making this its own ask blog??? Not sure yet, haha!
Seems interesting.
A lot of people around me are having kids and every day it becomes more apparent that hitting your children to punish them is insane because literally everything can be a horrible punishment in their eyes if you frame it as such.
Like, one family makes their toddler sit on the stairs for three minutes when he hits his brother or whatever. The stairs are well lit and he can see his family the whole time, he’s just not allowed to get up and leave the stairs or the timer starts over. He fucking hates it just because it’s framed as a punishment.
Another family use a baseball cap. It’s just a plain blue cap with nothing on it. When their toddler needs discipline he gets a timeout on a chair and has to put the cap on. When they’re out and about he just has to wear the cap but it gets the same reaction. Nobody around them can tell he’s being punished because it’s in no way an embarrassing cap, but HE knows and just the threat of having to wear it is enough.
And there isn’t the same contempt afterwards I’ve seen with kids whose parents hit them. One time the kid swung a stick at my dog, his mother immediately made him sit on the stairs, he screamed but stayed put, then he came over to my dog and gently said “Sorry Ellie” and went back to playing like nothing happened, but this time without swinging sticks at the nearby animals.
Precious. I need this reposted on my profile so that I may return to this post many a time.
This is so wholesome
Nah. I’m good. Though I do have these!
What’s up? My names Oliver, you can call me Oli, Ollie, or Six. My pronouns are He/She/Xe with gender-fluid callings. I’m a fan of many fandoms but I’m mostly going to be posting about ROTTMNT/TMNT here. I’m also a local community admin so please do not hesitate to ask any questions. See you all next time! - Six
Boops again regardless.
It is done.
I've been booped to oblivion.
Would anybody be interested if I started doing art commissions? I’m considering using PayPal, though I’ve heard that sites like stripe are better for digital art commissions. Thanks for reading!
I've been in Undertale for almost 6 years now (literally weekdays every 4 days), and in the Undertale fandom for all of 8... it became an outlet for me during difficult times, and I think that my personality was once built on it X) in general, this game, thematic amino and people in the fandom have become something special and dear to me. I'm very glad that I once spied on my brother when he was watching a walkthrough of this game, and discovered a new world, haha. How many sleepless nights were spent in role-playing games...
Also, when I entered the fandom, I was just starting to draw, and Ink Sans is a character who inspired me to continue. And I dreamed then that I would become a cool artist, draw a cool AU and become popular, but my skill then left much to be desired..
And maybe I did not become a cool and famous Undertale artist, I made progress, and a small version of me would be delighted with how I draw now. So, actually, I drew this picture - as memories of this very important part of my childhood.
And my drawings from 5 years ago... haha
