“algorithm” lol go back to twitter

I’m assuming that you’re referring to my post in regards to engagement on a writer’s works.

Though admittedly funny - I may have giggled - this is a feeble attempt to drag me down for stating simple facts. Have a snack, hydrate, and take a nice nap. Maybe you’ll feel better and learn how to interact with other people.

It takes a special kind of coward to anonymously make jabs at someone else, especially over something as simple as a request from a writer - on behalf of all writers. Just say you don’t care enough about someone’s hard work to do the bare minimum and move on.

If you want to just leave a little like on content, perhaps Twitter is actually the appropriate app for you to indulge in? The only reason for you to be so bitter over a post that has, until now, received feedback filled with agreement and emphasis on my point is this: you are part of the problem.

Food for thought.

TRANS RIGHTS ARE HUMAN RIGHTS.

The trans community has always existed, and you are loved. No matter what circle-jerk of two-bit con artists with the integrity of wet tissues say, you have been and always are important. Life and society has thrived because of the perseverance and brilliance of the trans and nonbinary community, whether we knew it or not. Remember that you aren't alone, and you have so, so many people across nations who are standing with you.

Do the best you can to continue pursuing your goals and live with pride as the best version of yourself you can be. Outlive your oppressors; the vacuum of a hollow, hateful life will consume the bigots who try to block your way of growth and happiness, because they'll do nothing but shrink and wallow in their ignorance while you're making as many footprints as you can.

You are valid, and you will thrive, and you will continue to live more fulfilled lives because you stay true to who you are.

hi!!

my word for the out-of-context WIP game is "factory" ! curious to see :)

oh boy. max my guy i TRIED i really did...but the answer is absolutely nothing im sorry lol i checked literally every draft i had and the best i can offer you is 'fact' or 'satisfactory'... im a fantasy writer i have apparently never once described industrialisation (oh no new writing idea unlocked i love that period of european history ngl...)

but in the spirit of the game, i've decided i'll share a poem containing the word 'fact', because im relatively fond of it. yep this is gonna 1,000% be unrelated to factories it is in fact about organised religion!

--------------------------------------------------------

the true colours of the divine

i think religion is more beautiful from the outside looking in peeking through stained glass windows, a door left ajar

without the heavy hand of the mundane, the every day the acceptance of faith as fact, scripture as truth, i can see it

thousands of people, looking up at the heavens, prayers rising through the air like smoke words echoing empty off marble

to see this belief as a choice, made in the face of the unknown, millions of people made one their nature compelling their faith

to know a mere few books have connected centuries to know of people holding hands differences bent to bonds of belief

it says something, perhaps about people - what we are, dreamers, lonely, looking for reasons, a purpose to hold

i am grateful for my own lack of faith, granting me vision of the spirit of people, not gods i see the human colours of the divine

Identifying as the gender you were assigned at birth doesn’t automatically mean you’re cis, and saying this does a disservice to both intersex and perisex folks.

I will say that re comments and fic authors that even if someone seems popular or well established or you read something and think well surely they Know X was good or oh other people commented so I don't have to

Any author will treasure comments and hearing that someone liked something will always mean a lot more than me being like well I think I'm good at x but I have no idea how it landed or what really stuck out to people or anything of the sort because my view of my own writing is so different from the audience's and more comments are always welcome

So if you don't want to comment because you think we already know (we don't) or we're scary (we aren't we are begging for ppl to leave comments even if just a sentence fragment) or you think we'd be annoyed (where did this idea come from???) Please know we want to hear it

Especially with the ao3 kudos bot going around not even kudos act as a gauge for how well something went over with people

Your comment is worth 100 kudos go forth and make some ppl's days if they made yours

Lucy was really tired, and we intended to creep off to bed as soon as we could. The young curate came in, however, and Mrs. Westenra asked him to stay for supper. [...] I think that some day the bishops must get together and see about breeding up a new class of curates, who don’t take supper, no matter how they may be pressed to, and who will know when girls are tired.

Poor Mina keeps trying to be this super competent adult, untouched by the hardship of everything while she's like, twenty, carrying all the weight herself and keeping everything inside.

But she pretty much let herself be a bit angry in her blog. This is the politest "I wished that cleric would just sod off and go home, I haven't slept in 17 bloody days!" she could muster.

AO3 is down for maintenance for the next ~6 hours (according to their tumblr), so I will probably wait until after that to post today's FSF fic.

(Because I would rather close to simultaneously post there and here than post here and then not post there for several hours.)

Sorry for the wait!

Bigoted assholes like you have no business running blogs.

holy shit, we got our first hate message! i could have totally ignored it, but i'm a little bitch for attention & thus decided to indulge you. in any case, i highly encourage you to come off anon & say this to our faces. preferably while elaborating on what the fuck are you talking about. if you're gonna talk bullshit make it make sense, you know? hugs & kisses, mod star.

edit by mod blue:

literally hop of our dicks. if youre gonna go out of your way to call us bigots, at least be creative with it. or idk make it make sense. hope you have the day you deserve.

love, mod blue <3

I'm so mad about the CSP color settings thing, guys. Why is it on perpetual by default if it desaturates everything?? I just went through and fixed the saved flats for all of my current prompt pieces for next week and kirbtober, and did a test post on here to see if there's any external influence on it (there doesn't seem to be), and my Nova, the difference!! is insane!! Stars, all my precious colors... years of them... unknowingly being eaten by my own art program T-T Guess I know what I'm doing start of November... ugh...

with the fact that there's a new swtor update dropping soon (i cannot recall when), i would like to state the following:

please, for the love of everything good in this world, please tag your story spoilers. not everyone progresses through the game at the same rate. not everyone wants to be spoiled for content ahead of time.

do your fellow swtor tumblr users a kindness. it only takes two seconds to add a tag such as "swtor update spoilers" or "7.3 spoilers", or something like that. no matter which part of the story you're referring to — this encapsulates both main story content, and side story content, like those companion dates we've all eagerly consumed crumbs of information about — please, do not spoil it for others.

overview cont. i guess lmao. no one asked but its been something in the back of my mind for a while now & i got an anon tonight telling me i come off intimidating and i feel the need to just. make note of some things so that hopefully if anyone feels a certain way with how i run this blog then like. know and understand both my side as well as that my dms / disc is open for anyone to pop into -- just obv depends on the headspace at the time.

i know this is long & am sorry if it doesnt make sense but. just setting it gently out there.

but, again, my disc ( same as my url ) is open for any mutual. its open to shoot the shit. open for plotting. open for memes. what have you. i may not always get to every message. i may not be in the headspace for certain things or certain energies. but its open for anyone as long as we are mutuals & if handles are different between here & disc then i just get a heads-up abt who you are so i know lmao

likewise, i am fairly fucking slow writing-wise and alot of that is because of offsite issues chipping into me but also because most, if not all, of the things i DO have in the inbox or drafts are from my affiliates at this time ( tho i do have some more from the archive i need to move over from a couple people ). alot of my spoons and drive to write and post is because of the dynamics and plotting built between our muses. im not a blog centered on plotting but, it does help to have a better idea on how to navigate between muses c: esp for those technically outside of my kiddos' texas canon obviously. that being said, anyone is welcome to like any inbox calls i put out there. and my inbox is always open and accepting, even if i havent reblogged prompts in a while -- i have my tag linked on my pinned and its available always & for whomever. it just comes with the understanding that i may take a while to respond to them & they may not get as expansive as some of my posts can get with my affiliates; which again, is just simply from how much we've been building together that helps with that!

on that note. my connections with my texas pals are very dear to me. both ic & ooc. as i noted in my overview post, i talk about the dynamics we've built openly and freely here because theyre so integral to my portrayals. they & their kiddos have my entire heart and i unapologetically love having fun with them and going on tangents with them and bouncing thoughts off of each others posts on the dash.

my experiences in other corners of tumby rp have not been particularly kind. and its been a long time since ive felt comfortable especially ooc with writing partners. and i understand if i may come across closed off or intimidating or unapproachable. i understand if i also come across partial to them / play favorites because frankly... i am. i do. thats because they've built bonds not just between characters but also with me. ill be very transparent and say that i am very particular in who i get close with and that translates into here too. but thats also just something that easily can also happen with literally anyone. again i do understand if i come across closed off in any sense but genuinely? im not scary and i have options open for continuing to grow more connections with people c: theyre open always. what im not going to do, however, purely out of personal experience is chase after interactions. the last fandoms i wrote in i did so and it wore me down into my last hiatus. i will show equal enthusiasm to whats given. but i wont fish for it, either. its just not my cup of tea.

i like to think im fairly patient and understanding in a lot, probably moreso than i should in some cases -- sincerely though if theres issues know that im fine with it being brought up. but im also not going to be welcoming nor tolerate my boundaries being disregarded or disrespected, im already dealing with that with an offsite friend. not dealing with it here. i do not like feeling so uncomfortable existing on my own blog or in my own disc. and i get that already with my personal disc & this offsite friend in particular. im not dealing with it here too.

which on that note, i also wont be receptive with issues regarding what i post, what i talk about, who i write with, who i choose as affiliates or mains or w/e. my blog & my dash are my safe & comfort zones and these muses often help me alot with navigating when my headspace is at a fucked up level. if any of that is a concern yes youre welcome to come to me and talk it over but end of the day? my comfort & mental state is a priority to me. if thats ever an issue i truly would just recommend you do what you feel is best for you. everyone existing on this hell-plane are entitled on curating their space in whatever manner they see fit.

again. i promise im not scary. im not an ass. but i do curate my space to be in my best interest and at my age & experience across the 10+ yrs ive been rping on and off here, ive seen alot, heard alot, experienced alot. i do apologize however if i do come across unapproachable or intimidating. i do apologize if i seem closed off to only a select few. i dont mind if you follow / we're mutuals solely just to keep up with what i write! thats completely okay too and i thank those who are <3 but if i seem unapproachable i literally just gently gesture again to my disc or prompts tag etc! i welcome any to get to know myself or my muses. regardless of how much time has passed since following one another. just again, comes with the understanding that my social battery & headspace often does work against me. and thats not personal against anyone, ever.

friendly reminder that if you've responded to any meme or starter i've sent you, vice versa, within the last two months, you will very likely get a reply. if we started a mini thread and i have not responded for a time, you will still get a reply. if you have sent me something recently, and i find that thing to be reasonable and fun or compelling, you will get a reply. given you are a rp blog with writing on it, you get a reply, and you get a reply, and you get a reply, and you—r patience is appreciated. and lastly, even if i don’t reply to one thing, i do my best to acknowledge, and will usually respond to some other thing some other time. 🤙

Hi, small PSA, I am not shy for blocking people over what they do to others, I do not care if we have a lot plotted or we share lore with each other a lot, first foremost I care about how one treats others, ofc I will always critically think about a situation before I act but do not assume I will prioritize someone whose actions are unkind because we write a lot, I don't care if I don't know the person wronged, I will stick to my morals and principles.
