I also accidentally befriended a pro Widowmaker by the name of Belpheagor. She kept landing headshots on me and after like the 6th time I wrote in the chat, “Widow plz” because I know from prior experience that it tends to work.
She wrote back, “Mercy I’m sorry, but I have to.” After that she only landed body shots on me, but she was definitely more hesitant to land any shots on me.
Later, I was going around the back of the point to try and get to someone and I ran point blank into her. She stared at me through her scope for a few seconds; I “Hello!”ed to try and pull on her heartstrings. She shot the Pharah coming up behind me, gave me a look, and then grappled away.
She wrote in the chat, “Did you see how I didn’t shoot you” and next thing I know I had a friend request from her.
WHAT KINDA FANFIC
“did you see how I didn’t shoot you” is my exact genre of romance
do you ever think about how cool it would be to be crazy rich bc you could scroll through Tumblr and just slam dunk all these go fund mes to 100% without a second thought? you get a car, and you get a power wheelchair, and you get rent, and you get surgery for your dog, and and and and
too bad its only poor people who care about others and have empathy
Measuring system anime uses? Do you mean the metric system? Like, centimeters and kilograms?
Figuring out heights and weights is actually pretty easy for me. *shrug* The average height of white males is 5′10 And the average height of white females is 5′5.
Around 4′8 and under is where someone can be considered a little person I believe(for a fully grown adult), and around 6′7+ is where you can start seeing problems as well(not saying everyone that tall has joint/bone problems, but its more common).
So I just kinda think of that when making characters. Obviously, if you’re making characters of a different race, you’d have to look up the average heights for that race.
As for weight, I usually just google “average weight for *insert height here* male”, or whatever. And then I decide if I want them heavier, or lighter than the average. Muscles are heavy, so contrary to what alot of people seem to think, a heavily muscled character isn’t gonna be light, just cause they’re in shape.
If coming up with a non-human character, think about the weight of appendages. Do they have extra arms? An average arm weighs around 6-8lbs. Maybe a tail? How thick is the tail? Is it mostly muscle, or is it something like fur with a skinny base? How about horns? Those can add some weight as well depending on their size. A bighorn sheep’s horns can weigh up to 30lbs. AND WHAT IF THEY HAVE WINGS!? If they have wings and need to fly, their wings are either gonna have to be enormous, or the individual with the wings is gonna have to have hollow, light bones, like a bird. How much do a bird’s bones weight per square inch?
(i’m probably going way too deep into this, and fantasy nonsense can be applied to most of this lol)
BUT ANYWAYS. Try taking examples from real life too. Look at someone who is a certain height and think, “Hm, would my character be shorter or taller than them?”
As for the metric system. You can literally just google like, “What is 5′3 in centimeters” or, “What is 150lbs in kilograms?”
I feel like the line between “fluffy uwu self care” and “get your shit together self care” is thinner than people seem to think. Like, sitting in a quiet space with a book and maybe some twinkly fairy lights gives me the spoons to go call my damn doctor like I’ve been meaning to. Bath bombs or shower steamers make me feel content and/or sparkly, which gives me confidence to go out in public. (Plus, I bathed.) I dye my hair funky colors so if I feel like people are staring at me I can say it’s at that instead of whatever my anxiety wants it to be.
The two are not mutually exclusive, is what I’m getting at, and I never see that mentioned, just either “self care is being nice to yourself” or “self care is kicking yourself in the ass to function for a few hours”. Kick yourself in the ass with niceness.
ok so there’s a game me and my friends play called “don’t get me started” and basically someone gives another person a random topic and they have to go on an angry rant about it and it’s the best thing that’s ever happened to us at parties and car rides so I highly recommend playing sometimes with your friends
I love this idea. We used to do things like this in Improv.
Related game: “THINK ABOUT IT.” You’re given a random topic, and your job is to build it into an epic conspiracy theory, the crazier the better. You end your rant with a serious face and the command that your listeners “Think about it.”
Another related game: Illuninati. Similar to Think About It except you are given 2 completely different topics and you have to connect them to each other in a wild conspiracy rant
I know it’s fun to take the first two letters of your name, the third vowel of your middle name, and the last two letters of your surname, so you can create some fun fantasy name … I know it’s fun to take your birth month and birth date and use them to create your drag name … I know it’s fun to combine your parents’ first names to create your fursona name or whatever, but –
This is how antis and fraudsters hack and dox.
The fact is there aren’t too many female names starting with “St” or men’s names starting with “Jo”, and then by processing other pieces of information, especially by using other information from other games or trolling social media, it’s not too difficult to work out you’re Stephanie Smith or John Watson. You’re on social media, and they know from that other post you’re born on July 4th, so now they just need a year … hope you’ve not an age on your description header!
Heck, a birth year can also be worked out from Chinese Zodiac, you posting you’re now x age on your birthday, or – again – other meme games that require your birth year. If you play enough of these games, an anti or a fraudster only needs time and patience to piece it all together, and God forbid you ever posted a selfie of yourself, too, especially one in school uniform or work uniform.
This is how they find you.
Just some handy tips for posting:
Don’t play meme games that use personal information
Don’t post selfies
Don’t post photographs outside your work/home
Don’t post photographs of yourself in uniform
Don’t post screenshots of your desktop – this can be used to work out OS, browser, and other such things (including sites you use or programmes you may us, depending on what’s open on your page)
Don’t post your age or personal information on your headers
Remember nothing is private – chat rooms, direct messages, and anything “private” can be hacked and screenshotted and outed
Just some hints for using the web:
Try to use apps that hide your IP address
Try to use VPNs when in doubt about if a blog uses trackers
NEVER use the same password for all social media accounts
NEVER use words for your password – mix it up with combinations of letters (lower and upper case), symbols, numbers, etc.
Try to use different email accounts for different sites
DO enable two-step authorisation on all social media accounts
Keep your virus checker up-to-date
NEVER open a link that you first haven’t checked out – make sure it’s to a site you trust, from a person you trust, and check it’s “HTTPS” if you are going to enter any details (many fraudsters, antis and one anti-anti have used scams with fake sites to steal log-in information)
If someone claims to be X, contact X directly – ring your local bank branch, if you get an email about some problem, and contact x’s main blog, if a so-called side claims to be x (always verify identity)
