you know i’m such a fool for you

[sgtxpreacher]

Mickey lived on a parallel world for about two years, and after he returns to his original world, he probably keeps discovering ways in which the earths diverged. Idioms that he finally learned how to say on the other earth he has to relearn how to say the way he first learned to. History wasn’t his best subject to begin with, but sometimes he starts talking to Martha about countries that either don’t exist anymore or never did in this timeline. There are sports teams and models of cars and brands of cereal and all sorts of things where he can remember the names but he can’t always remember which world they were from. He’ll get a jingle stuck in his head and none of his friends can help him remember what it was for because it never aired in their world. He’ll learn of a celebrity death and be certain that person already died- but wait, that was in the Cybermen attack, that must have been the other world. Just because he’s home now doesn’t mean his time on the other world is forgotten, and sometimes he feels so isolated from the world around him because there are all these things he thinks should be one way that are now another.

{ in the spirit of writing jake simmonds again, i went kickboxing for the first time today!!!! (okay that wasn’t the original intent behind it, but i used it as motivation to go when i was tired and didn’t feel like it.) and it was actually really fun!!!

in other news: my magnum opus, my masterpiece, the fic covering jake and mickey’s travels after the cybermen two-parter, is already at 2000 words even though i’ve only been working on it for like. a few days. and i’m not even done with the set-up chapter yet???? this is all just them in london????? what’s happening????

send me a topic to write a meta about my muse on

I might write anything from a paragraph to a whopping essay, but send me something you’ve noticed about my characterisation or just something you want to know about my muse and I will write what I can!

{ as part of my very slow, very selective return to this blog... mutuals, would you like or reply to this post if you’re interested in tossing around some ideas for a thread? i’m still not entirely certain if i want to make a full return here or just use this blog to post my magnum opus, the jake/mickey fic i’ve been meaning to write for Literal Years, as i work on it. but i wanna give RPing another shot.

so in short: like or reply to this if you’re interested!

{ [slowly peeks head back in]

hello.... i am considering returning to this blog. i had some hella nostalgia today. and it made me want to write jake a lil again. so i may come back, unfollow some people, start with a clean state, be super selective, yadda yadda. i may not.

but if i don’t, there’s a little ficlet i’m working on to wrap up jake’s story, as it were, because ya boy needs some closure.

{ so what I came to realize after the brief moment where my desire to write for my blogs came and went is that I actually don't feel like RPing that much. I want to spend more time on my own writing projects (especially now that I've been accepted to grad school for writing, that's a big motivation) and tbh my blogs just get continually shunted to the bottom of my to-do list, and it's not as much fun anymore.

but what I was missing was all the friends I'd made on here.

So, I'm probably gonna disappear from these blogs for a while. Idk how long; could be a couple of days, a couple of months, longer. But if you guys are followed by a blog called myhomextheroad, that's me on my personal, bc just because I don't feel like RPing doesn't mean I don't wanna see how you guys are doing. Feel free to IM me or send me a message there anytime, to discuss writing or anything else—even if I'm not writing Jake or my other muses, I'm still happy to talk and hypothesize about them til the cows come home haha.

goodbye for now. Keep well, and keep in touch. <3

{ okay so I’m traveling and can only access Tumblr by mobile

But also my Jake muse is slowly picking up and I wanna write him again

So like this if you want a starter for a mobile thread: no icons, I won’t be formatting posts (and will probs rely on you to cut them bc idk how to do that from mobile,) etc.

Please Don’t Turn Off SSL

(and theme-makers, stop encouraging people to do so)

What does SSL do?

SSL changes the first part of your blog URL from http to https. That extra ’s’ stands for ‘secure’. When SSL is activated on your blog, the connection between tumblr servers and people browing your blog becomes encrypted.

Without SSL, all the data sent back and forth is sent in clear text. That means that third parties (for example, your Internet Service Provider) can easily intercept and read all the traffic from the people who are on your blog. They can even modify how your blog is received on other people’s computers, doing nefarious things such as injecting ads or tracking users. And you would never know.

With SSL, only tumblr can read the traffic going to them, and only tumblr is able to send the contents of your blog to a viewer’s computer.

Why should I care?

Chances are, you don’t spend a lot of time looking at your own blog. Activating SSL isn’t for you. It’s for other people. It’s for your fans. SSL respects the privacy of the people viewing your blog.

But why does it ruin my theme?

When SSL is activated on your blog, browsers sometimes decide that you want every part of the website to be served over https. If theme resources are loaded over http, they are blocked, so important parts of your theme become missing.

If you know the basics of HTML, you can look through the theme and make sure that no links start with http. Odds are, you can change those links to https and it will be fine (though this won’t always work).

You can always consider using a different theme. All of my themes support SSL.

Okay, I want to activate SSL. How do I do it?

Go to your blog settings and toggle Always serve blog over SSL. It’s as simple as that! Repeat for all the blogs that you own.

I’m a theme-maker. How can I support SSL?

First, the blog on which you do your theme testing should have SSL enabled, so you’ll know that your theme works.

Whenever you have an external link for a theme resource, make sure that it comes from a server that has https enabled, and make sure that the actual link you use in the code actually starts with https.

Note that the links in <a> tags don’t really matter, since you don’t load resources through those. It only matters for elements like <script>, <link>, <iframe>, <img>, and other things like that.

If you need to load a resource from a site that doesn’t have https, then consider uploading the resource to another host that does use it. A great example would be tumblr’s own file host. There’s also rawgit.

Also, replacing http:// with just // might work as well, but I’m not completely sure about how browsers usually react to that.

More information here and here.

How can I help promote internet privacy and security?

You can reblog or share this post! You can find additional reading on this topic here, here, and here, and there’s plenty more floating around the internet.

Woohoo! Nice to see you back my lovely!!!

thank you!! i’m very excited to be back!!

[sgtxpreacher]

{ GUESS WHO FINALLY GOT THROUGH... MOST OF HER PROJECTS FOR UNI

*confetti*

i may actually end up coming off hiatus soon—i always tend to feel a need to return to tumblr during thanksgiving break for whatever reason—but it might be slow and in fits and starts because i’ve still got two weeks of uni left after the break, then i might not have steady internet access throughout december, yadda yadda typical raptor stuff. anyway! tonight i’ll be working on the revamp of my multimuse, which got sidelined when school got busy, and i’ll probably do some spring cleaning here before starting to do threads and whatnot again—but consider me back!
