If my mutuals can’t rb this then we can’t be mutuals
I have a joke about math but im 2² to say it
you know i don’t think we often talk about how difficult it actually is to suddenly realize that a belief you thought was good and moral and correct was actually really fucking toxic. how you have to look at something and go ‘oh shit, oh i fucked up. oh this is going to take probably years at minimum to deprogram from my brain because of all the little ways this shit pervaded the rest of my beliefs’
so. to all the people picking up all the pieces of a recently shattered world-view and trying to figure out what is safe to keep and what has to be thrown away and started over
to all the people having to relearn how to even listen to other people
to all the people putting in the work to do better while struggling with the guilt that comes from finding out you were the asshole
i’m proud of y’all.
it’s hard to admit being wrong and even harder to change in the aftermath. just keep doing the best you can and just know that the effort is appreciated. everyone can change. everyone can do better. keep fighting.
pirate voice: there's a beautiful person out there reading this post, I can feel it in me bones
mailman voice: I'm curious, what did you make me sound like?
Ok so i missed all of alenoah week but heres this anyway
Something something doomed romance, snuck into cargo hold in the middle of the night, noah knows its gonna hurt when it ends and is taking what he can, ale is trying not to think about how it has to end and is holding on desperately. Or something.
This is like my first or second attempt at ‘real’ rendering so go easy please?
UPDATED APRIL 2025 (previous version | oldest version)
the links broke again so this time we're trying the tumblr image links and hope they don't spontaneously break (as has been known to happen) 🤞
Are you frustrated you can't leave second kudos on AO3? or third kudos? or whatever-who's-counting kudos?
Well, have I got the html for you!
Plop any of the codes in a comment (by copy&pasting the code under Keep reading - scroll to the bottom of the post) to make an author's day and show your appreciation!
bonus: cookie kudos
[ if you enjoy them, consider supporting my ko-fi ]
I've received a lot of good suggestions for more variants but can't keep up with them all, so here are some resources to make it easier to make your own.
PSD for easily editable text (there is a color fill layer for adding a bit of white where the stroke doesn't cover small holes. I recommend cropping excess empty space out before exporting as PNG)
and here are PNGs of the kudos button for any other editing needs, with and without white stroke:
Use your favorite image host, copy the direct image link, insert it between the quotation marks in the code, add alt text, and you're ready!
<img src="[DIRECT IMAGE LINK]" alt="[ALT TEXT]">
(you can add any image or gif to a comment like this as long as you have the direct image link btw)
if you post your kudos images, I'd be grateful if you'd link back to this post so other people can find the resources too 💗
When you paste into the AO3 comment box, make sure the quotation marks are straight:
NOT curly:
simply deleting and re-typing them in the ao3 comment box should fix this!
Many of the old image links from the original post are broken. I cannot fix them. Please use the new codes going forward ❤️

answered asks about broken kudos links
all answered asks/fulfilled requests/misc related to this post
remember that post that said if it got notes I would read homestuck
i never did (i had a bunch fo missing assignments at the time and was near to failing so I just.. didn't)
...Im doing this again because i feel tumblr deserved another chance to make me read homestuck. but I'm making it WAY higher because I do NOT want to reach it. >:(
the goal... 10k. it wont happen. It won't. Surely you, dear tumblr user reading this, is not stupid enough to let this happen.
