Thank you for tagging me @highlordofkrypton , @praetorqueenreyna , and @nightzspring <33
What should we call you?
Either Sonic or Mystique is good!
How long have you been a Tamlin fan?
I started reading acotar in 2019 and tamlin immediately had my heart, I joined the fandom in November Last year.
What drew you to Tamlin?
His big green puppy eyes and bunny like demeanor drew me to him. He was very human in a way yk ? He messed up and he wasn't perfect but he was always so loving inspite of being so afraid of it. I think the main thing that made me love him was how he was the only hl to accept refugees and gave them ( including Lucien ) a home. That made me realise how much of great person he was and I fell in love with him. ( also the "Thorns and all" quote is just so beautiful)
Do you have a favourite headcanon for our Spring Lord?
I think tamlin loves music so much so that when he starts to feel empty he takes out his fiddle and starts playing hozier-esque songs in the woods and all the creatures of spring pause their activities and gather around to listen to him and it's basically a concert, plus it gives tamlin a way to connect with his court and it's people, amd makes him realise he's loved đ
Whoâs your favourite pairing (platonic or romantic) with Tamlin?
I'm a multipshipper so I'm on board with lots of pairings but my otp has and will always be Tamcien. They're just so perfect for each other, their dynamic and the adoration they posses for the other. ( Tamcien are the reason I joined the fandom btw )
Platonic Pairings - Tam and Cressida, Tam and Thesan, Tam and Kallias and sm more but I can't remember them rn.
Have you named Tamlinâs family? What are their names? (Give us your headcanons too!
Tamlin's Father - Evander Irving - Hawthorne : He was born an only child and grew up ostracized by his parents, hence his inability to have a healthy relationship with his own. He hated hunting animals and was considered weak because of it and it's one of the few traits tamlin inherits from him.
Tamlin's Mother - Vidalia Majorie : She was from a noble family, wild in the way weeds are, she loved to sing and could light up a ballroom with her voice, its also how she found her mate, who was drawn to her instantly. Even after she died tamlin swears the trees in Spring still sing of her, mourining for the pearl of life.
Tamlin's Eldest Brother - Haru Irving : He was actually very similar to Eris in terms of intelligence and scheming, he was kind only to an extent and cared very little for the people he was destined to rule. It is the greatest tragedy that he was robbed of the title he spent all his life scheming for.
Tamlin's Middle Brother - Ahren Sylvan : Out of all of his family, Ahren was the only one who was kind to tamlin, and cared for his people and the suffering of lesser fae and humans. He raised Tam while his mother battled depressive episodes and his father too occupied to care for a child who wouldn't be heir. He loved the forests of spring and could communicate with them, its why his warband named him Sylvan - " of the forest".
If you were transported into the Spring Court right now, what would be your role? (Sentry, Gardener, etc.)
I'd love to be either some sort of chemist / witch that uses herbs to create potions ( poisons, etc ) or just lay around as Tamlin's sugar baby and frolick in the fields of flowers.
While we wait for Tamlin week, do you have any fic recommendations?
@achaotichuman has an amazingly well curated fanfiction rec masterlist!
In the coming months, weeks and days leading up to Tamlin Week, we'll be dropping some fun community activities. Feel free to participate as much or as little as you like!
Now that we've got the prompts out of the way, it's time to get to the heart of Tamlin Week. Everyone knows our High Lord Tamlin, and youâve met our mods, but itâs time to meet you!
Introduce yourself through the questions below, and if you know someone whoâd like to participate in Tamlin week, feel free to tag them.
What should we call you? How long have you been a Tamlin fan? What drew you to Tamlin? Do you have a favourite headcanon for our Spring Lord? Whoâs your favourite pairing (platonic or romantic) with Tamlin? Have you named Tamlinâs family? What are their names? (Give us your headcanons too!)

âgood luck man iâm just gonna be over here feeling existential about my face not being mine. is this what itâs like to be highâ

âI WAS NOT A FUCKING DOMINATRIX FUCK YOU i just spinned people really fast on the playground until they said it ticked and was too fast and begged me to stop- wait yeah okay thats.â
âWHY ARE YOU IN BLOOD HELL??â
ââbe not afraidâ if i saw you in the woods i would be so torn between hiding and running that i might die on the spotâ âsmashâ âsmashâ âGUYS COME ON- THIS GUY???â ânot that guy. the tree guyâ âTHAT IS THE TREE GUYâ âi could make him transâ
âheh. wouldnât you like to be liver suckled, cock boy?â
âcan i trust testsigma.com?â ânoâ âMANâ
âohhh now i know why you lost your nipplesâ
âI WILL ALTER YOUR SKIN IN WAYS THAT CANNOT BE REVERSED NOR HIDDEN. MY TOUCH WILL IMMORTALIZE ITSELF IN YOUR BONES, AND LONG AFTER WE ARE GONE, YOUR VERY ESSENCE WILL SCREAM WITH MY VOICE.â

Introducing Collections
Hello again, Tumblr. Labs division here!
A while back, we announced our comeback as a new team that would imagine big ideas for Tumblrâand would build them in public (aka with you). We recently announced our first failure, and today we're very excited to announce our first possible success!
A bit of context
As we've said before, an essential part of how we're working in Labs is speaking to people who use Tumblr pretty much on a daily basis and those who donât use it at all.
In those interviews and focus groups, we learned that curating the Tumblr experience around different interests and fandoms is a big part of making Tumblr feel like your own space â and one of the main ways you do that is through blogs and tags (be it following or creating them).
So here at Labs we're working on ideas to help you curate the content you care about, and to help share what makes your experience fun with other people, even if they are not on Tumblr already.
Ok, but what's the idea?
Have you ever put together a song playlist to listen to when you're in a certain mood, or share with a specific friend? Or sent them books you know they'll love? Now imagine if you could do that with blogs and tags on TumblrâŚ
Maybe you're a veteran in a fandom and have the best recommendations of who to follow for your followers. Or your best friend won't join Tumblr because they don't know that their favorite TV show is actually really popular here. Or maybe you want to curate and browse content from a specific fandom, or a group of your mutuals, your own way.
That's the idea behind Collections!
You can check out that example collection on the web here!
We want your help
The first way we're testing Collections is by inviting some of you to create your own and share with followers and friendsâthey'll be able to follow all the blogs and tags in your collections. So we're looking for volunteers!
You want to help? Great! Here's what you need to do:
Come up with your own Collections of blogs and tags, write it down somewhere. Focus on introducing people to Tumblr or recommending stuff to your followers. What would you want them to first see on your version of Tumblr?
Come up with a name, cover image, and description for it. Also try to think of who you would send your collection to, and where you might post about it.
Write out that idea as a reply or reblog on this post!
Weâll give it a few days, and pick a handful of people to play with Collections. We'll let you know. Then weâre off to the races!
If you decide to participate (and get selected), please note that this early release wonât work on the apps yet, only in your web browser.Â
What happens next?
Our goal is to keep working on improving and adding Collection functionalities while you test what we've built (and share your feedback with us).
Next weâre exploring making a collection something you can follow on Tumblr, as a way to curate Tumblr around your many interests and moods, and to give you more freedom to curate content on your dashboard.
And if this idea is not for you, remember we have many more experiments in progress, so stay tuned!
With love,
Labs division

regarding sept 19:
This needs to be clarified because misunderstanding has resulted in some usually very nice people getting incredibly nasty and bullying others.
This past week, many people - press, and content creators - were allowed a hands-on experience of the new Dragon Age game. They played for about 6 hours. The attendees of this event are under an NDA until Sept 19.
After September 19th, the people who played the game are allowed to speak about it in some amount of detail. The press embargo is lifted, so to speak.
No one who attended this event has come out, twirled their mustache, and said they're going to spoil major game stuff without warning.
If you think you're about to tell me that yes, someone did - no she didn't. I know it's too much to hope for but someday you must learn to not hear every tweet and text as if the other person was personally intending to harm you. Few people really are so malicious. If you approach text neutrally you can tell when people are, or not. Really.
They have instead warned that there will be info shared from this event, probably tagged and warned about (hopefully), but the reporting, sharing, reposting, etc., of that info will be - like all things in fandom - a mess dependent on individual fans. If you care about spoilers at all, get your filters and blocks ready for that. For sure!
But again, it only seems like they had 6 hours or so to play. I doubt the people who attended will be malicious or rubbing stuff in our faces. I doubt the people who attended will even be spilling every single deet. Most people who we know & are connected to the fandom that were in attendance have said they themselves avoided main game stuff, because they didn't want to be spoiled either.
So that is the real information, as best we know it, without fear mongering about a flood of spoilers - and do with that what you will!
A lot of people are starting to wholly block all of the new game's tags because they don't want to see anything else until it drops! This is definitely the time to start. Maybe you do need to go dark and hop off the internet to keep your boundaries, or maybe you feel confident in your dashboard, your friends, and your filtered content, that you won't be seeing untagged spoilers being shared. (I'm in the latter category; nothing has appeared on my dash without being filtered, for months.)
Control your space with the tools you have, but cruelty should not be one of them.
A lot of people (on twitter, love DA twitter, where the worst aspects of all your friends' personalities come out đ) have been incredibly, viciously belligerent to those who attended this event. They have used really terrible language to bully them as individuals and make personal attacks against them. The dog-piling has been amplified by certain people who were not invited to that event, and by the wording of others who are giving "warnings" about spoilers running rampant, floodgates opening, mayday, everyone is going to be rubbing spoilers in your face after Sept 19.
Whatever you think about the marketing about this game - whatever you think about what EA thinks are spoilers - whatever your personal stance on what you want to know going into the game (or not):
Content creators and press, their job is to talk about the game. In detail. It's their job! Ideally they do it as (is typically done! as many of them have already been doing!) with warnings/tags/whatever when something spoilery might come up.
Harassing them and wishing them harm or calling them terrible things and slandering their character is just an expression of your own frustration, lack of control, whatever - and it's not a good look.

KINDERGARTEN 2024 SECRET SANTA SIGNUPS ARE NOW OPEN!
Hello everyone! December is coming, so iâve decided to host a Secret Santa Gift Exchange for the Kindergarten Fandom! đđ @chantilly6761 will be helping in the event to assign everyone their gift recipient (because I also want to join and I feel itâs inappropriate if I literally go up to someone and go âhEyy you have to make a gift for me uwuâ like what) So please look out for her DMâs!
MORE INFORMATION AND SIGNUP LINK UNDER THE CUT!
What is a Secret Santa?
Itâs basically a gift exchange, where lots of people join and each are assigned a recipient to get a gift for. But they must not tell anyone else, thatâs why itâs called a Secret Santa! It makes for a fun surprise when you get your gift! Traditionally, itâs done in real life where people can buy or make gifts for their recipient, but since this is online, weâll be gifting art, writing, or other types of media? instead! Creations you can easily gift online!
When do signups last? The period of time we get to make our gift? When do we start gifting?
Signups : Starts at 27th October, 2:50 PM EST â> Ends at 2nd November, 11:59 AM EST
Secret Santa Assignments : Around 2nd November, 12:00 PM EST. Expect DMâs from @chantilly6761 , not me!
Drop Out Period : You have until 20th November to drop out if you change your mind. Donât expect me to be more understanding if you attempt to drop out after that.
Check-in Progress : On 30th November and 22nd December.
Gift Posting Time! : From 28th December, 12:00 AM EST â> To 1st January 2025, 12:00 AM EST
Basically, youâll have time from 3rd of November till the 28th of December to make your gift! Thatâs almost two months!
Any rules?
Keep your assignment a secret, this is crucial! Thatâs what puts the secret in Secret Santa after all!
Itâs basic decency to provide a gift with content your recipient specifically asked for <3 just saying
No using Picrews or Gacha to make a gift. Please put in the effort.
No NSFW, sexualization of the characters, pedoph*lia, or inc*st AT ALL.
When specifying what you want for your gifts, it absolutely has to be Kindergarten related! Sorry! This is a Kindergarten event after all. (Yes, you can ask for content of your Kindergarten OCâs!)
Please only ask to switch recipients if you are extremely uncomfortable with the request/recipient. Asking to switch is not something to exploit.
Do NOT fill out joke forms. Please only fill in all your official information for the event. Remember you can only send 1 form.
When the time comes, tag your gift with #kg2024secretsanta !
I trust that everyone will remain courteous and respectful for the event.
What can I make for my recipient?
Art and writing are the two main mediums you can use in this event. If you have any other specific medium you want to use, youâll have to ask me and/or your recipient!
How will I be able to ask my recipient questions if theyâre not supposed to know their Secret Santa?
You can ask @chantilly6761 to help deliver the message!
WHEREâS DO I SIGN UP WHEREâS THE REGISTRATION LINK
chill bro itâs right here
Thank you for reading, I hope youâll participate! You can ask me if you have any questions <3

Ive been noticing an increase amount of Dreamtwt refugees, and let me preface with saying: Welcome!!! Genuinely, we lovingly welcome you to this happy lil community.
That being said, Tumblr is confusing, between the big etiquette book and the interface that hasnât changed since 2008 there is a lot to learn. So this is my little attempt to a welcome guide tailored to our lil dream community! Feel free to add your own recommendations and stuff.
Tumblr is a Blogging site, a goog ol relic from ye olden days, your âprofileâ is your blog, and you can put anything you like on there! However, please do change your avatar and background, we have a massive bot issue here and we tend to auto block someone with a standard avatar.
The main tags for the dream team are as follows: - just their entire usernames, but, those do get hooped up in controversy from time to time. -Dreamblr for the content creator dream
-Dreblr, for C!Dream
-404blr for CC George
-pandasblr for CC Sapnap
-Dtblr for the Dream team
PLEASE REFRAIN FROM USING: #Dream, thatâs for people actually posting about their dreams, and #myct as it is mostly used for general MYCT stuff, we prefer to stick to our own spaces.
âhow do I find people?â you go to any of these tags, find someone you vibe with and click âfollowâ. The algorithm here sucks, and we donât advice the âfor youâ page.
On that note, the âlikeâ button is useless, use reblog instead! If you like someoneâs hot take, art or stupid shit post, REBLOG. Its how we keep our fandom alive and active here :D
When you reblog you usually keep your comments in the tags, one only really uses the comment section when they DONâT want to reblog. (usually because of le discourse).
Send people asks! People love to chit chat, you can do it anonymously! Tell that one artist youd love to have their brain for lunch! Engage with everyone! We love discussion and open communication here. (prob since there is no real word limit to posts)
Tumblr has developed a nice âblock liberally, no need to make a fusâ culture. You can block someone for any reason, and it really isnât a big deal.
On the Tumblr is more relaxed note, we tend to be more relaxed on CC boundaries, since most CCâs do not use twitter. If you donât like people breaking CC boundaries, even in places where they cant see it, follow the advice above and blockkkkk!!!
Please spell out words! Donât censor triggering words at it can fuck with peopleâs filter settings, by censoring these words you put people in more risk. Â
Now for some technical advice: Most tumblrinaâs turn on âhide likes and follower countâ . Any blog can have 4 people following it or 4000, we like to keep it mysterious.
Also turn of âbest content firstâ- once again, the algorithm is not to be trusted.
Furthermore, you can really personalize your Tumblr experience and please do! Under âaccountâ you can find many options to filter the content you see, make use of it, for your mental health sake.

I have such a strong urge to go out to the toa tags and report all of the posts that arenât toa. To anyone who sees this and is about to tag their non-trials of Apollo related post as trials of Apollo please donât. (that includes solangelo things. Just because they started in ToA doesnât mean that you should tag it with ToA. You have tsats now. Please use it) I get so annoyed when Iâm just trying to search for content about Meg or Lester or anything and anyone in the Trials of Apollo series and all that I get is Percy Jackson because, as much as I love him and the rest of the pjo books, sometimes I just want to take a break and cuddle up with some cute sunflower sibs art, or a meta on the heavy abuse systems in the series. Donât be selfish and tag for reach, please respect our fandom. Also, weâre by far the smallest of the main three series but weâre always welcome to have more members.
If you havenât read ToA or maybe you stopped after the first book, I would highly recommend giving it another try. Trials is by far the most mature series and I know from personal experience as someone who originally didnât like the narration and the fact the Percy wasnât in it, the older you get the more you appreciate it. Also, if you arenât reading it because you know of a certain death that happens in the third book, just know that he didnât die for nothing. The scene made me cry, and I wasnât and still am not really a fan of him.
Overall Trials has a very different feel from the other books, but that is part of the reason I love it some much. This allows us to have a very tight knit group of writers, artists, and just fans who love our blorbo Lesterpollo. If your post is actually about ToA, you are always welcome to tag it; we want to see! But if your post is just about pjo, hoo, tkc, mcgoa, tsats, or any of the other side books, please respect that we would like to have our own tags that can be utilized solely for the purpose of talking about The Trials of Apollo.
Thank you for listening to my Ted talk

I'm not sure if this is the end for the QSMP, but I wouldn't be surprised if it were shut down soon after this.
The eggs have been the lifeblood of the server since they were introduced, and having some of them permanently gone from the server is devastating for so many reasons, and bodes terribly for the future of this project. My optimism has run out. I will still wait for updates but I have no hope.
However, I wanted to write a piece for the community here on Tumblr. I know we're all very emotional right now, because while we have no confirmation that the QSMP will permanently close, we now have good reason to assume there might just be no other clear path out of this.
To the community:
Do not feel like you have to stop loving the server and everything it created. Do not stop creating art. Do not stop sharing why you loved the characters and the story and the world.
To completely boycott everything QSMP, you are discrediting the incredible work that the admins put into the server purely out of passion and the kindness of their hearts. Do not waste their sacrifices. Talk about the server and everything they did for it, give them recognition, let them know we love and appreciate all the time and care they poured into this project. Thank them by caring about their work that they put so much of themselves into.
To completely boycott everything QSMP, you are ignoring the beautiful friendships it created between content creators who otherwise would never have met, and the way it ignited such a fierce determination to learn about others' cultures in them. You are forgetting how much these streamers strived to tell engaging, relatable, fun stories, by themselves or with each other, and to have their fans talk about how much they liked their newest lore. You are refusing to acknowledge the effort put in by everyone on the project to tell amazing stories through the language barrier.
And to completely boycott the QSMP, you are denying yourself the fact that you loved this server; the eggs, the streamers, the stories, the cultural events, the laughter, the sadness, the friendships, the ship ships, the builds, the mods, the languages. You are part of this server for enjoying it's wonderful vitality and beauty and hilarity. As a community, we all are.
I have had my gripes with the QSMP fanbase, as anyone has gripes with the dysfunctional mad household they live in, but at the end of the day, I love it so much. This has been my first time actually being part of a fandom; interacting with people and sharing my art and my ideas, getting into silly debates and arguments, running my mouth off more than I should. I love this bizarre toxic fandom for all of it's worth; I love the fanfic writers (even if I think their characterisation is terrible), I love the fanartists (even if they give Pac those yellow scleras that always make me think of jaundice), I love the live bloggers (even if they clog up the main tag), I love the people who write analysis, the people who make animations and animatics, the people who webweave, and all the other things people in this fandom do to interact with the media we all collectively love and bond over.
We do not need to let this be the end of our community, as we can still share our admiration for the hard work put into this project, lift each other up, express praise where it is warranted.
And we can talk to each other, we can vent about how this has negatively effected us (provided we tag it appropriately đď¸đď¸) and respond in kind to those seeking someone to speak to who relates.
The QSMP taught us the value of communication. While behind the scenes, it itself did not abide by it's own rules, we can. The QSMP itself is not the figurehead of communication; the content creators and the fans it sent this message to are. We can be an example of what the QSMP should have stood for.
I do not love the deeply flawed execution of the QSMP, but with my whole heart I love the idea; the ambition, the goal. It was noble. It, to some extent, worked.
It united communities.
Let it unite ours.

Hey so â¨rant time⨠about the village fandom (again, sorry yâall)
This post will contain dark themes so TW:R*pe, Dubious consent, kinks such as somno under the ***
*****************************************************
Itâs totally fine to not be into CNC, or related kinks such as somno or DC. Itâs totally fine to not want to read about them either! HOWEVER
What is not fine is to pretend that properly tagged fics are out there to get you. You see the tag, you move on. You arenât exposed to it unless you CLICK. TO. READ. THEM. Itâs not fine to proclaim that we are doing a disservice to the characters by writing them in such ways. Itâs also not a disservice to actual victims to enjoy, or even write about said themes. Most of the people who write these fics, if not all, are victims themselves. Most of the people who enjoy reading these fics are also victims. I am one of those people! It is not only a healthy outlet for me, itâs also just.. normal? To have these kinks. (Also sometimes the story includes it purely for plot purposes and isnât always the main theme for the story)
Keep in mind that these are villains who torture and canonically murder innocent people. They are mutants, creatures, monsters..that alone is âtabooâ if you find them attractive. They arenât sunshine and rainbows, yâall. They are going to do dark, villainous things because they are dark and villainous. I enjoy the soft, fluffy and sweet HCâs too. And when I want to read those I purposely search for those tags. You have tools to work around your triggers. Tag blocking, muted words, filtered searches that will take you to your destination. If you happen to see tags that you donât vibe with, it is your responsibility to scroll. What we arenât going to do is try and dictate what âsafe mediaâ is because that leads down a very slippery slope of censorship.
And I get it! I used to feel the same way. This isnât me being like âthe real world doesnât have trigger warningsâ because it absolutely does. What matters is what you do with them, though. You cannot prepare yourself for them happening out of your control, noâŚand it sucks when media doesnât properly inform you of its content, but itâs your responsibility to practice online safety as well. Tags are a great example of putting it into practice.
Itâs just kinda off to be surprised that a fandom for a horror game that includes really evil characters.. writes them as evil? We all experience our traumas differently and thereâs no right or wrong way unless you are purposefully hurting others. Hopefully this doesnât come across as mean but I genuinely hope my message gets through.
Thank you and good time zone to you all

This post is dedicated to our favorite sexual sacrifice, Emberlynn Pinkle, and why she is an important character even if we never see her again. Letâs buckle in for a crazy character analysis of someone weâve only seen for 4 minutes.
There are many facets of this short that hold importance, including but not limited to the mysterious pendant, any potential foreshadowing, parallels between Emberlynn and pre-Ozzieâs Stolas, etc. What I want to talk about is the character of Emberlynn herself and what is truly represents.
Many antiâs of the show are foaming at the mouth over her, particularly the fact that Emberlynn is a caricature of the Hellaverse fandom that was created specifically to make fun of us. Funnily enough, many of us who have been in actual fandom spaces are not unfamiliar with people like Emberlynn, and at some point, a fair number of us admit to being like her, which is the main thing I want to touch on.
People watering Emberlynn and the short down to a cheap shot at fandoms and fans of the show is intellectually lazy. It can be seen as a critique of peoplesâ own biases considering many of us that have been in fandom spaces have done so for a long time. And itâs funny, because these people have been threatening to doxx fans, harm them, send messages to their bosses to get them fired, to schools so theyâd lose scholarships, etc. The kind of people that would order a hit on us in hellâŚMany antiâs and people who are against cringe culture often participate in it unwittingly. Take for instance, the antiâs of the Hellaverse shows who dedicate entire blogs to picking apart everything from character interaction to even three second frames. They take over the tags associated with the fandom just so they can pump bitter content out, and are actively hostile when fans confront them over their weird behavior. Because fans of Helluva Boss or Hazbin Hotel are normally not the kind of people who would watch entire seasons, keep up on content and lore, or interact with actors and fandom over something they hate. We would justâŚnot watch it and not interact. And itâs that kind of strange behavior that is intrinsic in fandom. Fandom spaces have forever had a dark side, that much is undeniable, but now more than ever there has been an influx of people unaccustomed and socially unequipped to participate and interact in the spaces that have been infesting it.
I have been in fandom spaces since 2013 and my first fandom was Hetalia. If you know you know. Many people in these spaces have been targeted for being âfreaksâ for years, but the areas where we have thrived, made friends and enjoyed ourselves was relatively untouched by the ânormiesâ. Thatâs definitely changed in recent years, especially when the pandemic forced people who would normally socialize in other spaces come to ours. We all remember alt fashion blowing up in 2020 just for people to be finding entire wardrobes of it at goodwill not even 2 years later. And when they came in, they started adding rules and stipulations. They would allow themselves permission to interact with us weirdo outcasts, but only in a way that could give them plausible deniability later when they knew the trend wouldnât last. They would enter a space that was nerdy and when furry iconography would show up they would whine about furries âmaking it weirdâ when it was already âweirdâ. They would dress and call themselves punk but still think it was important to listen to âboth sidesâ. And when it comes to the Hellaverse, itâs popular, and entering the mainstream via Amazon picking up Hazbin, but if youâre not willing to be critical of its unsavory parts then youâre complicit in things like rape, violence, drug use, etc.
These people have infiltrated our community, which sounds extreme but when I remember it from my teen years vs now, I think these people genuinely wouldâve combusted on sight. Like I said before, I was in the Hetalia fandom for many years. If you donât remember, people were cosplaying as Germany and doing the Nazi salute at cons and concentration camps. It was bad. It was equivalent to our new blackface Alastor controversy. Back then, the fandom handled it ourselves. We all agreed that that was unacceptable behavior, and people would express disgust, but they were also productive. Fans would post about how we needed to realize that there was real history behind this show and that we needed to be mindful when participating in that environment. I saw many cosplayers altering their costumes to be more mindful. Germany cosplayers would refuse to wear iron cross, which isnât even technically solely fascisitic in nature, but did it anyway because it was seen as respectful. Iâve seen a resurgence of the fandom on tiktok recently and all of us are allowing ourselves to enjoy it, because for years we had to pretend that we were stupid weirdos for liking it to begin with. Fandom has to allow itself to be cringe again, as it has been affected by people that are in an echo chamber of self righteousness and acceptability.
Getting back to Emberlynn, I have hardly ever seen a take off of a character like this. Even when it was shown that Baxter was coming in season 2 of Hazbin I saw maybe a handful of fan arts and videos. But Emberlynn has EXPLODED. I watched the short when it had been out for only 26 minutes, and within the hour my feeds across all social media were full of her.
I genuinely think that itâs because she is the epitome of fandom, where all of our cringe has been rolled into one character. Her self insert name is literally a reference to old fandom. Sheâs a proshipper, a selfshipper, she gets into shipping wars and has been fighting with people online for almost a decade. She said the pendant was from an episode â569â, which is strange wording because episodes arenât usually formatted that way in any sort of media, which could potentially mean that sheâs watched over 500 episodes of Akuma no Otto. Her room is full of pornographic material, figurines, the BODY PILLOW. I mean come on. Her parents are fully aware that she watches hentai. She was upstairs moaning and crying while interacting with Blitz and being stabbed and her parents did not go up to check on her, nor think it was out of the ordinary. She is pastel goth, a subset of the gothic culture, and writes self insert fanfiction. Sheâs A MONSTERFUCKER. HELLO?? When everyone in the Hellverse is as hot as they areâŚcome on. When she dies and goes to hell her sinner form has furry influences. All of us love her because even if we were never fully like her (ie stalkerish, obsessive), weâve been like her in some way at some point, or even now. I write fanfiction. Iâm part of alternative fashion and culture. Iâve been into cringe stuff for a while. Iâm not necessarily super into furry stuff, but I love the suits, the artistry and even had an idea for an oc once. My profile pic is literally my Sinner OC.
Emberlynn is a return to form for the standard of fandom spaces and I think to those of us that truly embrace the lifestyle, itâs refreshing. She does not exist in the realm of acceptability; sheâs fat, intense and unapologetic. And yet, sheâs still super hot, funny, and entertaining. We donât love her because sheâs a respectable fan, we adore her because sheâs insane. Iâm a cofounder of a Facebook group about being fans of the Vees and we all agree that she would actually do well with Valentino, because that cutie needs some disrespectful eldrich cock ASAP lol. Itâs refreshing, and even if we never see her again, I still find her completely relevant and interesting.
Emberlynn Lightâness Demonanya Pinkle, you are PRECIOUS.

what's wrong with haladriel tag today? everyone is spreading hate or getting baited by the antis. doom and gloom. only a few posts are of the shippers goofing or discussing the ep in a way that doesn't feel like the show ended haladriel for good.
yeah, idk. i try to not scroll down the tag nowadays. i finished the episode and it was fine to me. i understand everyone's complaints and frustrations as i myself wished for sauron to see galadriel being in captivity at least (and my main issue is galadriel's shortened screentime), but i feel like we might be overreacting a bit and ruining our own shipping experience?
what saddens me the most is that i don't see the fan creations getting appreciated. the shippers would make great gifsets, edits, art - no reblogs. write fics - no comments or kudos. maybe the fandom is still small but i look at the stuff from s1 and it had so much more interaction and encouragement from other shippers.
even the metas from s1 aren't all about "when will celeborn appear and can galadriel be shipped with sauron when she is married to celeborn?" it seems like haladriels didn't give a f about that forced discourse back then and were just wholly enjoying the ship.
as i've said, i think elrond kiss is not the worst thing for haladriels. it might indicate that celeborn won't be introduced (yet), so galadriel won't have to "go back to being his wife". elrond/galadriel won't turn any more romantic than this, at most it will be ambiguous. and they might be testing the waters for how the audiences react to canon divergence. if elrond can be galadriel's jacob, why can't sauron be her edward?
listen, so many of the most iconic ships have never kissed or were never officially a couple. if the dynamic is shippable then why stop shipping just bc a season doesn't go exactly as the fans wanted it to go in their wildest dreams? we still have s3, there still might be the mind-palace communication explored in s3. after all we know the whole show was inspired by the idea that sauron ever so gropes to see galadriel and at some point galadriel closes the door on him but he still allows her to roam his mind freely!
+ this season still was like a continuation of sauron and galadriel mirroring each other, it confirmed that galadriel has feelings for sauron and that sauron is obsessed with her. there is still one ep left where this slow-burn build-up is supposed to climax.
my point is, let's try to be more positive? and being positive isn't necessarily confined to being delulu. it means creating fan content or hyping up fan creations, it means taking what we get in the episodes and dissecting it with passion, engaging with analysis, having fun!
i have been in many other fandoms and i know that a fandom can't be longevous if it's sustained on frustration and negativity and discourse 80% of the time.
for what's it worth, let's let the creators know that we want haladriel, not that we hate the show the same way the lorebros hate it. yk?

new art blog
the short version:
1. i made a new art blog: @cbge;
2. @ffc1cb will stay up as an archive.
the long version:
hi everyone. this announcement is somewhat late, since the blog in question has been up for a few months now, and iâve already started posting art on it. the reason it took me so long to ârevealâ it is because iâve been trying to figure out whether a new blog is something i actually want, or if it's just me throwing darts at a board, trying to make myself feel better somehow.
i donât know when precisely it all started, but ever since sometime last year iâve been going through a hard time, both emotionally and creatively. iâm not sure whether being depressed is what made art harder, or art becoming harder is what made me depressed (a bit of both, i think), but lately, drawing has been a struggle.Â
iâve found myself having less and less energy for art, and this lack of energy resulted in poorer quality of drawings, which resulted in me feeling like iâm getting worse at it, despite my efforts. i knew i could make good art, art that iâm proud of - iâve done so countless times before, - but somehow it felt like i just couldnât anymore, like my hands forgot how to. nothing looked right.Â
iâve been trying to experiment. iâve learned some new things, tried this and that - it was enlightening, to say the least, and even though i kind of liked how it looked, it made me feel a sense of displacement. i was at odds with myself, my art, and how i felt about it, when previously i was always in sync. i was making art, yes, and it looked nice, but it felt like it wasnât mine.
i suppose part of it was also the growing lack of engagement, and i donât mean likes and reblogs - i never particularly cared about those. they are all just numbers to me; dry and impersonal. what iâm talking about is actual, human interactions: personal thoughts in tags, asks, replies, etc. a conversation.Â
i donât mean to sound âoldâ or anything, but i remember when talking to artists online was more commonplace. my wife tells me itâs because the internet culture has changed over the years, that people have become more reclusive, less willing to be open with their thoughts, and she's probably right, but in my slump i find it hard to believe. somehow it feels like itâs my fault for being less âengagingâ, for seeming unapproachable or perhaps intimidating. maybe itâs âjust a skill issueâ, maybe itâs because i have stopped churning out fanart for popular fandoms, maybe itâs because i refuse to torture myself emotionally by having an art account on twitter (i canât fucking stand the place anymore; i still post nsfw art there, but only because itâs literally one of the only places on the internet that allows you to do so. i miss when you could post female presenting tits on tumblr).
i have always, ever since i started posting art on the internet back in 2012, done it for human connection. i wanted to talk to people, and have people talk to me. i wanted to inspire people with my art, and i wanted to bring them comfort. i wanted to elicit an emotional response, and have people tell me about it. it was one of the main reasons i drew in the first place; having lost that, iâve been struggling to stay passionate about making art.
i miss being a small artist on the internet during the 2010s. i remember when i could make a post going, âhey everyone, how are you all doing today?â and it would not seem weird to people in the slightest. it is just me? does anyone else feel that way? am i too deep in my own head? the internet feels so unwelcoming nowadays, especially to artists. we are all just content machines; people scroll by our stuff, or maybe look at it for half a second and leave a like before scrolling away. i know itâs unfair to demand peopleâs attention, especially now when our lives are already so overwhelmed by everything - no one has the energy to pay closer attention; i myself am not immune to mindless scrolling. but it feels bad. i wish we were all sincere and enthusiastic again.
anyway (sorry for rambling. i hope i havenât bored you to death), you might want to say, okay, but how is making a new art blog on a âdyingâ social platform going to help with any of that? the truth is, i donât know. i just felt like i needed a change.Â
iâve been running this blog since 2016 (thatâs almost 8 full years!). i feel incredibly attached to it, but at the same time, i feel it weighing me down.Â
there are people who followed me years ago for one specific thing, still expecting me to post about said thing (i still find it mindboggling that some people follow artists for a specific fandom only, but that is a whole other matter for a whole other post that i will never write). a third, if not half, of my following are probably dead blogs. and with my current struggle with trying to regain the joy i once felt for making art, looking back at all the art iâve done over the years makes me feel tired. i still love it all; itâs all very dear to me. iâm proud of it; looking at it makes me mourn my younger and more passionate self.
so iâve decided to make a new blog, where i will let myself post whatever i want, in whatever stage of donness i feel like. maybe it will help me, somehow. maybe it wonât. but if you care about my art, if you want to keep following me on my artistic journey, i welcome you to join me there. similarly, feel free not to - no hard feelings.
thank you everyone for your support over the years; it matters a lot to me. iâm not planning to delete or private this blog; it will stay up, and i will still be reachable on here. i will still answer asks, if there will be any. iâm just not planning to post any art here anymore. this is it for my dear old friend ffc1cb.
i can be found in other places:
@cbge, as mentioned earlier,
@k0nstanta, an art blog dedicated solely to my wife and iâs ocs,
@inquisimail, a dragon age ask blog that has become my dragon age sideblog in general,
and multiple other blogs, none of which are art related, but feel free to ask, if youâre curious.
thank you very much for reading all of this. i hope you have a wonderful day.
