you know i have never heard a convincing arguement as to why AO3 should not moderate the content that is posted to their website and i think a lot of the arguement against moderation on AO3 boils down to, terminally online people thinks community moderation is the same as government censorship and personally sending the cops to someone’s house to arrest them irl/

I used to think love was falling fast in a head rush

But with you it’s different cause

It’s a slow burn

It’s a long drive down the West coast moving in closer

It’s a walk home

Letting it lie in the unknown head on your shoulder

Coming into the light, finally taking my time

I’m letting it grow moment by moment

It’s a don’t go

Stealing your nights with a wrong turn til it takes over

I’m loving you slower

Did You Say Chak?!?

Rating: PG Genre: Fluff Characters: The Commander, Gorrik, Taimi Words: ~ 3,200 Summary: Gorrik invites you to visit him and Taimi in Kaineng. When you finally can make the time, you have a new pet to introduce and the two of them have something prepared for you. Timeline: Post EoD, elements from Soto and JW are mentioned, but no story spoilers for those (Juvenile Sky Chak, Homestead)

Want more? Here is a Masterpost :)

AN (with possible spoilers) under the cut

This one was in production for a long time because keeping things entirely neutral was very tricky with this one. The Commander in this story is a ranger, and the Sky Chak gets a name suggestion, things like that.

Even if it's a little tougher to implement your own commander with all of these not-quite-so-neutral things, I hope you'll get to enjoy this one.

I am very proud of some elements in this story! Like that conversation with Gorrik in the middle that's putting the ranger class under the lense, and the way Blish haunts this particular story.

in loving memory of tumblr's april fools' pranks 💐 2014 - 2024

icymi, tumblr used to do an elaborate april fool's prank every year, but this year they suddenly stopped. here's a somewhat detailed recap of everything they did over the decade:

2013 - mishapocalypse (honourable mention): tumblr staff didn’t start doing april fools until 2014, but the mishapocalypse happened on tumblr in 2013 and i feel like this list would be incomplete without it

2014 - tumblrpro: upon opening your dash you were greeted by an “inspirational” video, that ended with the option to get “tumblrpro (for free)”. all it did was put a top hat on your icon.

2015 - tumblr executivesuite/coppy: a copying machine appeared in the corner of your dash. it would offer tips on how to use tumblr, like clippy the paperclip used to do in microsoft word. as the day went on, it slowly broke down and died right in front of your eyes. many people hated him (but not me). you could also make a (small) spreadsheet. @executivesuite2016 is the official blog.

2016 - this is decision/lizard election/tumblrdecides: a parody of the 2016 US elections. there were 4 lizards (well, one of them turned out to be a salamander in a scandal) to vote for. the dash looked different and there was a live news report with election updates, as well as an election blog for each lizard. they all had their own slogans and you would get an "i voted" button after you voted that would get slapped next to your icon. there were built-in functions to make an election poster for your favourite lizard and to create a text post that supported your lizard of choice that autogenerated a statement for all your followers to read. imo tumblr’s april fools peak. @thisisdecision2016-blog is the official blog, @mop-2016-blog @wretchedtooth @timefordeborah-blog were candidates. rick also had a blog (rick-official) but that now seems to have vanished because he ended up dropping out of the election. mop won, if you're curious. by far the most elaborate prank tumblr ever did.

2017 - horse friend: a tamagotchi-inspired game where you had to take care of a little horse in the corner of your screen. it came with a randomly generated name, and you had to feed and clean up after it. if you didnt take good care of it, it died. you could then hatch (yes, hatch) a new one. there was also an option to look at the names of all your dead horses. this is now available to buy in the tumblr shop. @horse-friends is the official blog.

2018 - tumblcoin: a parody of cryptocurrency (this was the year bitcoin took off). you could ‘invest’ in tumblcoin, with which you could in turn buy things with to spice up your dash, including last year’s horse friend, coppy from 2015, and a frame for around your icon. you could share the amount of tumblcoin you owned in an automatically generated gif post which would be tagged #tbc2018 and #tumblcoin. @tumblcoin is the official blog.

2019 - @memories: this blog still functions the way it did on april fools itself! it's like mad libs, where it takes post templates and then adds in tags you use a lot and users you frequently interact with on your main blog. like a personalized shitpost bot.

2020 - group chat prank/@storybot: it was so hard to find info on this because it was contained entirely in the now-defunct group chat function, which no one used. i had to go through the notes of this post for information because no one cared enough to actually write anything explaining it. turns out, you could write a story with your mutuals by adding storybot to your group chat. it also kept working after april fools (well, up until the group chats were deleted) just like memories. many people missed out on it entirely because they did not use the group chat function.

2021 - tumblcryptids: tumblr allowed you to adopt “non-fungible tumblcryptids”, a parody of NFTs. clicking a button that said "Summon thy Tumblrcryptid" would spawn an image of a little blob-shaped creature with a short description, which would always read "Hi! My name is [randomly generated name]. I love [thing most people like]. I hate [thing most people dislike]. Like my parent, I can't get enough of #[tag from your main blog]." you could share them in a post, which would automatically add the tag #NFTumblcryptids to your post. and yes, people on the piss on the poor website freaked out about it because they thought they were real NFTs harming the environment. @tumblcryptidadoptioncenter is the official blog.

2022 - click-a-thon: when you clicked a light switch on your dashboard, a bunch of colourful things showed up, like a sponge you could move around, an "engagament meter", clickable buttons, and a “Summon Crab!” button, which would summon a crab when you clicked it. you could. the crabs, like horse friend, are still available in the tumblr store as of 2025. here's some screenshots. there were various ways to share your crab activities, which would all get tagged #april fools 2022. the prank was presented as a marketing technique created by Brick Whartley, a fictional businessman character created by tumblr, who (afaik) originated in a post on the official blog of the 2018 april fools prank, albeit originally in a different role. around this time he also started functioning as the mascot for tumblr's shop ( @emporium )

2023 - abstract reactions (emoji reacts): buttons were added to every post that allowed you to add emoji reactions, many of them based on tumblr inside jokes (horse as a reference to horse plinko/horse friend, vanilla for the vanilla extract meme, pikaman, bug for bug race, and brick whartley, who wasn't a meme but staff really wanted him to be). if one specific emoji was used a certain amount of times it would add an effect to the post, eg many cheese emoji reacts would cover the post in cheese. this was also attributed to Brick Whartley ("his" blog @brickwhartley also documented the day)

2024 - boop-o-meter: allowed you to “boop” other users who had opted in to the booping, like facebook’s poke feature back in the day. depending on how long you held the button, you would either boop, super boop, or evil boop. on the dashboard there was a counter for both how many times you had booped others and how many times others had booped you, as well as how many boops were given side-wide. when booping someone, an image of a cat paw appeared. you would get badges (which can still be used) for booping 1, 100 and 1000 times. if you got more than 999 boops, the counter would simply say “WOW”. this was brought back for halloween 2024 (as BOOp-o-meter. get it), with a ghost, skeleton and mummy paw. no official blog, but here's an official recap for april first from staff. i believe this was the only april fools prank that was mobile user friendly.

2025 - @fandom is running some polls, i guess

Remember your Face

Rating: PG Genre: Hurt/Comfort Characters: Gorrik, Blish Words: ~ 1,300 Summary: Gorrik and Blish struggle with the situation of Blish's new Golem Body. Timeline: Pre meeting them in the Story; Pre Fahranur

Want more? Here is a Masterpost :)

This Oneshot was previously implied in Applied Science, but that story's pacing didn't quite allow for the time it needed to look deeper into it.

A fun little fact: I got into the mood to write this one after discovering on how many layers "Immortals" was a great song for Blish, and wound up listening to it a little bit too much. The working title of this story was "But they're my sutures"

[levy120]

Chapter 12 is up! Starting the final stretch now :)

Approximately 3 chapters remain.

Dream Catcher Part 6: Reverb

Rating: T Genre: Horror, Angst Lore: Dream Catcher (Part 6), Extended Lore

Characters: Jano, Rayman, Mr. Dark, The Muse of Poets, Raymesis, Ly, Globox, Murfy

Summary: Rayman promised Jano to help if ever he were in need of it. What if push comes to shove?

Warnings: Depression, Self-Harm, Grief/Mourning, Not-Really-Character-Death

Annotation: Even though this one is part of a series, I believe this one can be read on its own. The only thing you need to know in advance is the established friendship between the protagonists. The Series: [Dream Catcher Masterpost]

Read on: [AO3]

Happy 2 Year Anniversary to my heart-blood passion project Dream Catcher! :D

I can't believe it's been so long. I can believe even less that my Muse is still bugging me about it. But what do you know?

I am so thankful for everyone who's been on the journey with me thus far, for all the lovely feedback and warm reception this fanfic has received!

As of the release of the first chapter everything until until 5 is ready. Depending on chapter sizes, there's going to something between 12 or 15 chapters waiting. I'm standing at the verge of 30,000 words, with 2 parallely running plots - both being a first for this series. :D

That being said - I am still in the middle of frenzied editing. There's holes to patch up, retcons to edit and chapters to polish, but I am at a point where the direction is clear and I should (hopefully) not run into any bigger complications. I still want this to be the best it can be though, so I cannot predict at this time how fast or steady the update schedule is going to be.

I am super excited to share the start of this tale with you today and looking forward to your thoughts 💌

[levy120]

i hope i am not only a mutual to you but also someone you can point at a fictional character and go "oh shit that guy on tumblr is super fucking mentally unwell about that one" about

[levy120]

Rayman & Globox : Le Combat des chefs.

They sure give some good fight during theses games. Even Globox is actually great at this, who would have thought during the Rayman 2 & 3 area ?

I should draw dynamic stuff more often.

Took an entire year, but Chapter 11 is finally here.

Happy 3 Year Anniversary to the Dream Catcher Series!

got a major pest problem this year actually

[levy120]

there is something so crazy and powerful about having art of your oc that was made by anyone other than yourself. like oh my god you actually exist outside of my own brain that's WILD

[levy120]

”you can just make an oc” you dont understand anything. the character needs to mutate naturally until unrecognizable. like all evolutionary processes it takes time. you can’t force it or it doesn’t take. you must endure weird ooc thematically discordant versions of a guy until they bud off into beautiful new life. have patience
