#BECAUSE THIS IS TECHNICALLY A SECONDARY BLOG

[wip]

A very very minor thing I have been curious about for a while, and I'm finally asking: why do you calculate queue posting times the way you do? For example, if I set my queue to post 3x a day, naively I would expect it to post every 8 hours. But in reality it posts every 6 hours with a 12 hour gap between days. Why complicate the math like that?

Answer: Hello @circumference-pie!

Buckle up y’all, it’s story time again!

First: nobody who works at Tumblr right now was a part of the work of planning the default queue implementation, which was more than ten years ago. So the full story behind “Why does it work that way?” has unfortunately been lost to the sands of time. All we can do is tell you how it works today and surmise some reasons why. The queue is actually a very clever system and part of how it works explains some of why it works the way it does. Also, there have been attempts to do what you ask—we still have “Queue 2.0” available in your Tumblr Labs settings, which tries to get closer to how you expect things to work.

Anyway! How the queue works today is not actually a queue in the traditional sense. There is no single list of posts that are in “your queue”. Instead, when you “Add to queue” after creating a post, we’re actually scheduling it to post at a future time, as if you had used the “Schedule post” option instead. We’re just calculating that time on your behalf when you use “Add to queue”, based on your settings, and how many other scheduled posts you have already. We use a secondary “index” model, called “ScheduledPost”, to keep track of posts you have scheduled on your blog. We do mark the ones that are a part of “your queue”, but the data model doesn’t keep one list of your “queue” per se.

You can see this in action on your blog, hiding in plain sight. If you add a bunch of posts to your queue, and then schedule a post for a specific future date, you’ll see both in your blog’s “queue” list, side by side. Because technically to us, they’re the same thing: queued posts are really just another kind of scheduled post, relying on the same always-running service to publish scheduled posts across all of Tumblr. Here’s a fun fact: we typically have about ~14.5 million future posts to publish from this list at any given time and are publishing hundreds of these scheduled posts every second.

So when you’re adding a new post to your queue, what we’re doing behind the scenes is starting at the beginning of your “day”, and creating time slots based on your queue settings. If a time slot is already filled, we move on to the next one. That’s why the default queue scheduler works how you describe—we’re trying to fill those “slots” based on the start of the day, rather than trying to divide the calendar day evenly. This just makes it much simpler for us to understand, scale, and predict when our “peaks” will be. At peak times, the publish-scheduled-posts service is publishing tens of thousands of posts in a manner of seconds. We did rewrite that post-publishing part of this architecture a few years ago to improve its efficiency and solve a lot of “lost post” bugs, but we didn’t change how “Add to queue” works.

However, the Queue 2.0 project available in Labs was an attempt to change the queue system to work as you expect—instead of starting at [beginning of day] and creating enough slots to fit [number of slots] every [number of hours], it tries to divide the calendar day into [number of slots] and fit the result back to the original algorithm’s mapping of the day. We never productionized this alternative approach, because it has a few bugs that some blogs hit in extreme cases, and we’ve never had time to fully fix them. It also can cause a bit of weirdness when time zones diverge, like with daylight savings time. Also, a lot of people prefer the default algorithm, and we haven’t thought of a nice way to transition everyone from one to the other. So for now, both options exist, and you can choose which algorithm for queue-slot-generating you want to use. We hope that makes sense! 

While complicated, it is a great example of a system built by engineers to make sense and be scalable and predictable. But sometimes these kinds of systems, while clever, aren’t very intuitive to understand without digging into how they work.

Thanks for your question, and keep ’em coming.

Okay it's been long enough since TIT that I can share my thoughts with a clear head. I literally slept the whole of yesterday because I was so tired (thank you, London).

Seeing Dan and Phil was a really big deal for me—as I'm sure it is for most fans. I've been a fan of DnP since primary school and now I'm nearing the end of secondary school and the start of uni so this feels like a very big full circle moment.

As cringe and stereotypical as it is, DnP videos have always been there when I needed them. When I was having a bad day at school, or struggling to come to terms with my sexuality/gender, there were Dan and Phil, ready to put a smile on my face. Dan's coming out video was released the same year I started being bullied for my sexuality and seeing someone I looked up to as much as him be so honest and open really helped me to feel less alone. I rewatch that video a lot. I will always be grateful for that.

I've worn my Interactive Introverts bracelet everyday since I brought it with the DVD (my mum would not let me see them live at the time as I was "too young" lol) so Dan and Phil, in some way, have been there for every big and small moment in my life. They were technically there when I got an offer from the uni I want to go to. I literally wore a Dan and Phil shirt to my autism assessment. They were mentioned in my autism assessment report (though I am not the person who said that for the confessions part of the show, that was someone else. I am not trying to steal their thunder lol). I can't even begin to express what a big part of my life their videos have been.

As I'm sure has been mentioned many times by now, my show was filmed so I might even end up on YouTube or a DVD (PLEASE DAN AND PHIL, KEEP PHYSICAL MEDIA ALIVE) or something, though I doubt that because I was in the royal circle. Also a drunk girl hung off the balcony and heckled for most of the show. I think even ended up getting kicked out. I saw somewhere on twitter that Phil asked for her to be kicked or mentioned to staff that she was too loud but I have no idea how true that is as I was on the opposite side of the circle to her and I have never and probably will never speak to Phil to confirm this.

Other than that, though, the show was absolutely brilliant!

Genuinely! It was so funny and it was absolutely lovely being in a room of people who have the same interests as me; I literally saw a "Be More Chill" "Boyf" bag, "Heathers" tracksuit bottoms, a FNAF Bonnie keychain and a Doctor Who badge all in the space of 5 minutes of one another. My people. Someone even complimented my hat, though I find London so overwhelming that I forgot to respond properly lol (sorry hat person, you were very nice! I liked your whiskers!).

Before the show, they played "Hot To Go" by Chappell Roan, and the whole theatre sang and danced along, which was absolutely lovely!

I was laughing and cheering for about 2 hours straight, so I'd say it was money well spent, though my mum literally fell asleep during the first act so I don't know if she'd agree.

One thing I will say: seeing sister Daniel in the flesh is literally a HOLY experience—I am so... Gay? Straight? Bisexual?? I'm not sure which word go use in this situation but Daniel was hot, so who cares?

To conclude this overly long blog post no-one will read, it was fun and I feel like 12 year old me would look at me now and smile. I saw Dan and Phil live. I got an offer from the uni I wanted to study film! I write!! I have friends who care about me!! I'm not ashamed to like the things I like!! God, they would be so proud of me. And I am proud of them.

TIT pics below ;)

(That last pic was taken by my mum, hence why I look so awkward. I was happy, I swear.)

Thank you very much if you read this! I really do go on a lot but also this is my blog and I suppose that means I can go on as much as I want.

Is it weird that I get a little stressed out at the fact that this blog is technically a side/secondary blog? When I first came back to tumblr, I totally forgot that side blogs can’t be switched to mains. I didn’t realize until it was too late that I wouldn’t be able to follow people with THIS art blog but instead my “main” blog (that I don’t use AT ALL.) I can’t put badges, let alone like another person’s post too.

I changed my old username so that it correlates to this art blog (which is practically my main now) as @quackysmackk-alt. I’m worried about the notification other people get, and that whole “mutuals” status and what not. I did some research and for some reason a mutuals status will only appear on the other person’s end if you follow their main blog.. which this blog is NOT. I still see it on my end, but that’s only because they follow THIS blog.

Soo idk if I’m just paranoid, but I’m worried that there’s other people who I follow and they follow me, who don’t get the notification that I’m supporting their art and whatnot. Honestly I just want to built up some mutual bonds on this platform, so it’s been eating at me for a LONG time. I also don’t know what the chances are for any of them to read this post. :(

But yeah. I’m scared.

[deerlybelov3d]

Reposting this from my secondary blog on my old tumblr account (@deerly-belov3d) and migrating over to this one as my new main!

Hazbin deaged AU! ♥️✨ Generally, the older characters become younger, and the younger characters are a little older! So Alastor is 6, Husk is 4, Angel is 8, Charlie and Vaggie are 12, and so on! Luci is 100 years younger but you can’t tell bc he’s so old! 😆 the one exception is Niffty, who’s 2 years old because it’s just cute and fitting that she’s a tiny lil baby!

You’re free to draw lil Al or Husk or both, together or separate or with Lucifer or any other combination (in fact I’d CRY if you did!🥹) so long as you tag me!! I’d love to see it!!! 💖

Some rambly infodumping if you’d like to know more about the AU:

Alastor a feral little rascal but is capable of being a polite little gentleman if he chooses to be! 😆 As a de-aged gremlin he does love to scamper about with his hoovsies out, usually forgoing shoes, which adult Alastor would loathe hehe! In being de-aged, a lot of the things Alastor tries to hard to present himself as (refined, in-control of his every reaction, put-together and neat, etc!) are mostly stripped away, and he’s left even more impulsive, reactive (both negative and positive emotions!), inclined to blab what he’s thinking, act messy and unrefined, etc! Which again, older Alastor would HATE 😆

Little Alastor absolutely WILL bite, no hesitation! He also loves to eat things that most definitely should not be eaten! 😆 Alastor’s shadow shrunk down to match him and helps him get into mischief too hehe!

Lucifer makes all the de-aged kiddos their outfits and delights in doing so! 😆 He makes them other outfits and little pajamas too! He loves being able to be a dad to little ones again, even if he is SUPER overwhelmed by just how many there are that he’s responsible for! Particularly without Lilith here to help this time☹️ His mental health, as we know, isn’t—great! So this is a good motivator, in a way, that he can’t bedrot for days on end with no word to anyone, but also, for that very reason, it’s also very hard on him that he can’t just have a moment to decompress! Charlie and Vaggie are old enough that they can help out some, but young enough that Lucifer can’t rely on them to be left too long with the little ones without supervision! 😆

All the kids have very different food preferences, different levels of development, different bedtimes, different clothing preferences, different play styles, some need baths/showers more often, some need help and supervision bathing, some don’t, and it’s very hectic all the time, and Lucifer is having a TIME trying to accommodate everyone and make sure no one gets into trouble or gets hurt and everyone has what they need!

Little Al is obsessed with 4-year-old Husk and treats him like his favorite stuffie, hefting him around—with little regard for if it’s comfortable for Husk or not—and petting him, pulling on his tail and wings, nibbling on him, etc! Little Husk can walk an all fours and on two legs, and he doesn’t speak, only make kitty sounds, and the rest of the Hazbin Hotel doesn’t know really know for sure how old he is or if he’s not speaking by choice or not! Alastor also adore baby Niffty, but he’s noticeably more gentle and tender with her than he is with Husk! 😆

Lil Husk is very picky, and loves drinking from bottles even if he’s technically too old to be doing so! (BECAUSE IT’S TOO CUTE😭)

If there’s any nterest for this AU I can post more of my thoughts and make more art and just share more about the AU in general! If you read any of this I love you and any sort of engagement is so very super appreciated! 🫶💖✨

Astrology For Beginner's Part 2

Part 1 Here

Fire and Air are considered compatible elements, so are Earth and Water. The elements + qualities is how ideas around polarities come into play. Astrology works off of different axis and opposites. For example, Taurus (Fixed Earth) and Scorpio (Fixed Water) are polar opposites and sit opposite of each other in a natal chart. Because Air and Fire are not considered compatible with Water and Earth, Aquarius (Fixed Air) and Leo (Fixed Fire) are considered incompatible with Scorpio and Taurus. Although it is important to understand compatibility is much more complex than just comparing Sun Signs or even Venus Signs, especially if you dive into that sector of astrology, and even if you and a loved one are technically "incompatible" you're still human, can love each other, and can still have a great relationship.

After learning about elements, qualities, and polarities I suggest researching all of the other planets and what they stand for: Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto.

This Article by Cafe Astrology has summaries for all of the planets as well as Asteroids.

I suggest learning about what a Natal Chart is at the same time as the planets. A Natal Chart can be drawn up for a person, place, company, country, a character, a book, almost anything. A Natal Chart takes a moment in time and allows astrologers to analyze all of the placements and components to give predictions, describe compatibility, to describe a person, and more. This chart freezes the time of "birth" for something like a person or country. The Natal Chart is this wheel you may see in books, blogs, posts, etc.

(Image from Wikipedia)

A Natal Chart should not be confused with a natal chart report, birth chart report, or astrology report which is just a list of all of your placements. This wheeled chart format is also used in other forms of astrology like Transits, Synastry, Secondary Progressions, and more. Those would be referred to as a Transit Chart, Synastry Chart, etc. and they have a different use and are calculated differently than a Natal Chart.

There is a LOT to learn about with just your own Natal Chart. Start out with the basics of Houses, Planets, Asteroids, and the Angles (Ascendant, Imum Coeli, Descendant, Midheaven).

A rule of thumb to know is that a House acts as the environment for an area of life, the planet is a direct influence, and the sign is the overall themes. A common metaphor for this is the House is the stage, the sign the costume, and the planet the actor.

I could keep going by diving into more details of the Natal Chart but these are the starting points I'd suggest to someone who is just learning about the basics of astrology.

Ancient History

Anrir is from @kit-williams (he's such a fun snarky old man!). Claude is @gallifreyianrosearkytiorsusan and Kopesh is from @c-u-c-koo-4-40k

Other Tags: @egrets-not-regrets @sleepyfan-blog @nightshade-victorian Warnings: Injury/wound care

Claude was out in the forest with some of his night lord brother when he smelled astartes blood.  A lot of it.  He moved silently towards the scent.

There was a marine lying on the forest floor.  Solid matte black armor, no legion or chapter markings, only a skull with spread eagle wings extending out to either side across his chestplate.  He reminded Claude of the stories of deathwatch blackshields, except for the lack of the organization's insignia. Questions for later. The strange marine's stomach plating was torn open and he was bleeding profusely. His head turned to look at Claude. "Big Raven..." he muttered, reaching a hand towards the primaris scout.

“ANRIR!  I need you over here now!” Claude yelled into his vox, moving in to aid the injured marine and pulling out the bandages Cedric had insisted he  carry with him..  He tried to wrap them around the stranger’s torso but they were soaked through almost as fast as he could apply them.  Fuck - one of his hearts must be damaged, to be bleeding this much.

The ancient night lord practically materialized out of the darkness behind Claude and looked him up and down to ensure he was uninjured.  “Why are you yelling.  You’re not hurt and none of the claw is hurt, so what’s the rush?”

“Dad, please?  I don’t want him to die.”

“Fine fine fine I’ll help him for Curze’s sake, you can stop yelling.  I thought you were injured.”

“Great, a night lord.”  The marine on the ground complained, trying to shift to look at Anrir.

“Look, do you want to survive this or not? Hold still.”  Anrir commented to his patient, pushing a few organs aside to inspect the damage.

“Dad!  Please, I’ll owe you a favor!”

“Fine, you’re lucky you’re cute.  Please stop looking at the back of my head like a kicked puppy. Why does the raven side of your genetics always come out in these situations...”  Anrir turned back to his patient, pulling out his medic bag and deftly beginning to stitch the hole in his secondary heart shut.  “You’re going to owe Claude a favor when you recover from this, you know.  What happened to you anyway?”

“Boarding torpedo.”  The injured marine replied dryly.

“What, did you try to stop it with your torso?”  Anrir pulled several pieces of shrapnel out of the marine’s torso.

“Technically it worked. Name’s Tercelle.  Why do I smell bats?”

“It’s too bright out for bats.  Possibly because I’m a night lord.  Or you might have a concussion.  Claude, get his helmet off.”  Claude fiddled with the damaged clasps on the marine’s helmet, finally pulling it off to a loud yelp from the injured stranger.

Vivid purple eyes with black slcera stared back at him, wide and unfocused and somehow glowing very slightly against deep brown skin.  Blood was starting to mat into the silver-coiled hair from a large cut on his forehead.  Anrir motioned Claude aside and quickly assessed the situation.  “Yep, concussion.  Along with the usual signs of losing massive amounts of blood very quickly.”  The apothecary flipped his vox on. “Kopesh, grab a medical transportation kit and bring it to my location.  Claude found a new arrival.”  He observed the marine’s bloodstained hair and the growing bruise around the scalp wound.  “Say, do you remember what year it is?”  It was obvious that he was an Emperor’s Child - no other chapter has the same brilliant eyes and bleached hair - but whether he was before or after the Heresy would be important.

“011.M31.  Am I dead?  I was on a ship, and then there was a torpedo, and…”

“You’re not dead.  You’re on Terra.” Anrir interrupted.

Tercelle’s eyes darted back and forth, pupils wide despite the bright light.  “Why trees?”

“Because you’re in M3 now.”  Claude piped up.

“Right, I am in hell.”  Tercelle clearly didn’t believe what he was being told.

Anrir sighed at the new arrival.  “You’re not in hell.  I can bring you to the chaos base once you're stabilized." Anrir immediately noticed his patient's heartbeat start to rise as he tried weakly to move away and hurriedly continued talking. "Or we can take you to the loyalist base instead. However you are going to be in ultramarine paperwork hell for quite some time that way.  Unless you’d like to go to the night lord base instead?”

“I can handle ultramarine paperwork.  Means you can’t skin me until I’m done.”  Tercelle coughed out, seeming to calm slightly.

“Do you see me wearing any skins?  I’m not into that.”  Anrir huffed a bit at his overly chatty patient.

“I still keep seeing you with bat wings half the time.  Hard to tell.  Can I sleep now?”  Tercelle’s eyelids fluttered as he spoke.

“Don’t you fucking dare.  I got started here so you’re stuck with me now.”  Anrir grabbed a syringe from his bag and injected a stimulant dose into Tercelle just as Kopesh arrived with supplies.  Tercelle grinned up at Kopesh as he set his load down and started to unroll the stretcher.  “You smell like human.  I know that smell!  Very happy nice human.”

“Hey!  But yes, she is a very nice human.”  Kopesh helped guide Tercelle’s shoulders onto the stretcher.  With Anrir’s direction the three of them set off for Stone Flame Base, quickly reaching into town and shouldering through the civilian traffic with their patient.  For some reason he was still going on about bats and Anrir was seriously considering strapping him down.  Fortunately he was still too weak to really fight against the hands pushing him to stay down.

Inside the base Olly had drawn desk duty that day.  “Hello, what is the nature of your emergency today?”  Anrir pushed past him, grabbing the list of open rooms from its usual spot on the desk.  At least ultramarines were consistent.

“I need several bags of blood,” he paused to check the marine’s patches “type A+, a rehydration pack, a head injury brace, and several rolls of clean bandages.  This room,” Anrir led Claude and Kopesh into an unused room, not bothering to turn on the lights as Olly messaged Cedric. “Can I get the patient’s name, affiliation, and era?”

“I’m Tercelle.  You’re big.  Like that raven that smells like a bat.  Why are you so big?  You have very nice eyes.” It looks like he wasn't getting much useful information yet.

“Oh.  Thank you sir.  I’m a primaris marine, as is Claude. We’re bigger.”  Olly was not really used to receiving compliments.

“They’re adorable, aren’t they?” Tercelle said to no one in particular as Anrir eased him onto the bed and began hooking tubes in.

“Yes, they are.  Ah there you are Cedric,” he hooked the first bag of blood that the younger apothecary had brought up to Tercelle’s IV “Thank you.  Finally, someone else agrees with me!”

“Yay.  Oh there’s another one!  They’re so cute.  Am sleep now.”  The stimulants were starting to wear off. Cedric shook his head. He is not cute but there's no sense arguing with a head trauma patient.

“Yes, you can sleep now. And yes, they are cute.”  Anrir shooed the others out and settled into a chair in the dark room, pulling a book out and starting to read.

smokedanced is now lanternlit

And with this I return, so excited to be writing again! Further changes...

I have moved Castiel and the Thirteenth Doctor here from their previous blogs (waywardfeathered/dochaes). If you were just followed, we were probably mutuals there! Hi! I plan to slowly follow everyone I had ongoing interactions with or asks I planned to reply to, on those blogs. Slowly, because I want to double check people's guidelines pages first. If you follow me back here, I plan to automatically reply to our things on this blog :)

I've rewritten my guidelines. The contents are mostly the same, but a lot has been reworded, and some minor things have been added or deleted, so it'd be awesome if you could give them a read. I guess this is technically optional, since they're mostly the same as before.

A few muses have been dropped. Kenna de Poitiers, Jeremy Bradshaw, Juliet Burke and Tyrion Lannister have been dropped as muses.

New muses have been added. Cas and Thirteen have been moved here from their previous blogs, and I have added Fifteenth Doctor as a muse. Jake, whom I added, um, nearly a year ago... finally has an about page, now, as well. You all get free shots to fire at me about how I had an OC among my muses for a year almost without any kind of an about page.

Some muses' stories have been altered. Namely, Mary Stuart is now a modern AU based muse, and I don't write her in Reign canon at least for the time being. Ella Finnegan has had her story altered, as well, basically the way her psychic abilities work have been changed. The latter will be easy to retcon in any ongoing interactions.

All muses have at least a dossier and a character premise page. This one is something I am proud of myself for, but also fuck, I got so frustrated trying to write the character premise pages that I can see it when I look at them, what with some of them having the most simple sentence structure and all, but I figured... better some information for my characters than none??? Everyone has something, now! Also, no more half the muses only having placeholder images on their pages! PRAISE THE ABSOL... I mean, my self-discipline. Because these past weeks I have just wanted to COME BACK AND WRITE, but I made myself have those tabs for all the characters first.

It is currently nearing 2am so pleaaaaase excuse me if this post is chaotic. Hi dash love you dash.

Lots of muses have been switched between their activity status. Current list goes:

primary muses: cas, hannibal, iris, izzy, jillian, the tardis, thirteen, will

secondary muses: edi, ed, ella, ever, garrus, lucius, mary, tali, ten

tertiary muses: charlie, clara, dean, river

test muses: chloe, eloise, fifteen, hurley, jake

Speaking of, right, Eloise has been released from "I need to rewatch Bridgerton first!" jail, and she's open for interactions sksksksksk

Guys, I don't remember what else I was meant to say.

The blog has had a bit of a makeover. Nobody look at my navigation page, the only thing I edited there so far was the colour scheme, it is outdated. I know me saying not to look is going to make people look but what can I do. Look at my muse directory and guidelines if you want to look at something, you sneaky sneaks.

The interest tracker has been updated. Chloe and Jake have been finally added on it. Cas and Thirteen have also been added on it. Fifteen has- you understand.

The tracker is the same one I've had before, but if you are interested in any of the added muses, please edit your responses. If you haven't done the tracker before, this would also be a very nice time to do it!

Going forward, I am going to go through my unaswered ooc messages and reply to people, I know there are a lot of you who have been on hold with plotting. Thank you so much for your patience. I am also going to start replying to things again, obviously. Now that my muse pages all have at least something on them, I can continue to work on them while my main focus for the blog is generally, well, roleplay. The pages being in such a state of WIP was a huge source of executive dysfunction for me.

I also plan to re-read everyone's guidelines just to make sure neither of us have edited ours so that we don't match anymore, but that'll not be done overnight with all of you.

I hope the url change isn't a huge inconvenience. If you could give this post a like, if you've seen it, that'd be awesome of you, though not at all necessary! I am genuinely very excited to be here again.

Hi!

I found your blog because of your ask blog and have been keeping up to date with Tim's asker antics. I just felt the need to get out some opinions in a place I know someone will hear it, and my brain is telling me I can't do shit about Marble Hornets on my own blog until I post my own art about it, so I hope you're fine with me rambling about it here. (If I'm somehow crossing a line of sorts, please let me know.) Also, fair warning. This is long. Very long. I put a TL;DR at the bottom.

I feel like this fandom should appreciate Seth as a character more. Most people kinda just use him as the secondary butt to "brought the dog" jokes, and while that is an amusing line, I feel like Seth has a lot of untapped potential as a character that isn't really thought about because of that joke being spun into his only personality trait. From what I've seen, people seem to entirely forget or ignore a little something about him being the founding member of ToTheArk. He and Brian are the only two characters throughout the entire story to work together successfully. Tim and Brian? They fell out. Jay and Alex? They fell out. Tim and Jay? You guessed it, they fell out. Seth and Brian are the only ones who could actually work together in a functional partnership until the end, but because people only really bring up Seth as the guy Alex yelled at for bringing his dog, that leaves a lot of untapped potential with their dynamic. What kind of person was Seth to be the only person able to collaborate with someone successfully while under the Operator's influence? Were him and Brian already close before it all happened? Was he just the only one with decent communication skills?? Plus, he's the one who started guiding Jay on the path towards answers, which implies that he knows quite a lot about what's going on. I personally imagine Seth to be a similar person to Jeff from EMH. He's calm and collected, good with tech, and quite good with solving and creating puzzles. Intelligent and very caring, wanting to see all the people he cares about make it out alive, so he's doing his best to help get this stuff sorted out for good while trying to maintain a level of anonymity so nobody else he loves gets caught in the cross fire.

TL;DR: People should really start thinking about Seth's dynamics and him as a character more beyond him bringing his dog.

YES YES YES YOU NAILED IT I 100% AGREEE

I have an entire novel's worth of headcanons I've collected about Seth because listen listen hear me out...

90% of the loose ends and plot holes left in Marble Hornets, when filled by Seth, make for an EXTREMELY compelling story that opens up an entire second off-screen plot line with Seth and Brian going parallel with Jay and Tim.

I feel like Night Mind said it best on his "Marble Hornets Explained series":

"When you finally stop to think about everything we've revealed, you begin to realize Marble Hornets was never actually a horror story."

"It was a revenge story."

I actually plan on digging into this fully through Act 3 of @ohgreat-moretapes 👀👀👀 and until then if you guys send headcanon asks here I will answer them!!!! (Just keep in mind some theories I propose about Seth might technically be "spoilers" if you wanna wait for the reveals over at the ask blog. I'll don't think ask blog spoilers will happen too often but just in case I'll put a spoiler warning above posts like that).

@sunnytheopossum is also working on a comic detailing the off-screen rise and fall of ToTheArk which I am SO HYPE for, so go send him lots of love and support too!!!

We need more Seth advocates out there!!! We shall canonize him the way he deserves!!!!

[mqnill]

Hey dear mutuals.

It is really bad. I did make another blog, but it was a secondary one so that means I can't communicate with you all through it. This situation is really frustrating and I've been trying to make my secondary blog my primary and it just doesn't work so... I had to make a new primary account using a really old email of mine.

It sucks. A lot. And I might delete my primary blog @mqnillin because it doesn't work, support didn't answer me, I just don't know how to deal with this technical problem. I hope I'm not annoying you all much by making another post like this, I'd just really like to keep in touch and be able to interact with you.

Important Blog Update!

Hey y'all! I'm in the process of moving this blog over to a new blog with the same name.

I'm doing this because this account is technically a secondary blog, and that has just been making things difficult with the restrictions that are in place for secondary blogs vs. primary.

And (this is way in advance), I have more fics planned and it just makes sense to me to have everything on one primary blog before we get further into this story and it becomes more of a hassle.

Find me here! @yoongleboonglepie

All updates will be from there moving forwards

Love you guys!

JPN Update

For anyone wondering how my Japanese studying has been going since I haven't updated in a while...

It kinda...hasn't been.

I've still been doing my Anki decks but I have no energy or interest in immersion anymore. People say to just "find what you like!" but all the things I DO like already have English translations so why bother going through the trouble of sloooooowly taking 2 hours to progress through 20 lines of text vs just being about to read/play/watch at my (admittedly extremely fast) pace.

My original goal for learning Japanese was to eventually publish writings and comics in both languages but...I'm quickly seeing that that's technically unfeasible. You can't really write AND draw AND be a translator at the same time, it just doesn't work like that.

My secondary goal of living in Japan is also untenable and I don't qualify for a work visa and I refuse to go back to school due to the cost. Not to mention the global state of affairs.

My time's also been completely eaten up by other things. My work hours have ramped up so I no longer get long stretches where I can just focus on JPN learning like it's my job. I've also started a major project with my sister that I'm forced to focus on, and I'm spending a lot more time with friends and family. I'm basically becoming a permanent 出来ない because I want to have a social life.

My friend just started learning the language and is super enthusiastic but I just can't muster the same energy I used to have for it. Japanese is such a fucking time sink, and yeah I was warned, but for fuck's sake.

That being said, I still do love the language. I find the grammar really straightforward, I love breaking down kanji meanings when I have the time and headspace for it. I love that my friends come to me for translations of their favorite memes or fanarts. I still deeply love Japanese I just.

I don't know.

It all seems really pointless right now.

Anyways, so I'm going to stop posting JPN learning updates here. If I start again, it'll probably be under a side blog.

またね。

‼️OUT OF CHARACTER‼️

This blog is a WIP. But here’s a quick rundown of what I’m trying to build…

***🔞TW: themes and mentions of Substance Abuse, Drugs, Alcohol, and the Military🔞***

(Not sure how commonly Military themes are triggers for folks, but I included it just in case, ya know?)

The Character

Luca Jirani is an addict in recovery. He recently moved from Unova to Paldea to partake in the Academy’s residential rehabilitation program. Part of that program is being given a Pokémon to raise and train. I have yet to decide what Pokémon that will be, though I am leaning towards a Sprigatito. I am potentially open to suggestions and/or in character adoptions from Rotomblr pokemon shelters, breeders, and adoption agencies though! Message or submit an Ask!

The World

I’m still hammering out the details, but here’s some of the essential bits and bobs…

- Rotomblr is a literal function/app on the Rotom phone. It appeared shortly after Rotom phones were invented, prior to them even becoming mainstream. Everyone has it, and most everyone uses it! No one knows who developed it. Many people have tried, and failed, to uncover the truth.

- BUT!!! …in my interpretation of this world, Rotomblr was created by a group of Pokémon: an Alakazam with an Electric Terra Type, several Porygon, and a secret alliance with Rotom-kind. Its existence and integrity is protected and blessed by the Legendary Lake Guardian Trio: Uxie, Azelf, and Mesprit

- I interpret the Academy in Mesagoza to be a GIGANTIC, all encompassing educational institution that is funded by the Paldean government. It covers ALL forms of education, including (but not limited to) pre-K, elementary/primary school, high school/secondary school, undergraduate and postgraduate university, professional certification for non-degree requiring jobs (e.g. trades), and life skills educational programs. They also host therapeutic educational programs, such as residential units to treat people with mental health issues and rehabilitation units. However, these are run out of separate buildings, away from the “main” school building that players spent most of their time at in the games.

- The Academy is technically called “Paldea Academy”…but most folks just call it “The Academy”. This is so I don’t have to choose between Scarlet and Violet being “the canon”.

- The canon characters (Nemona, Penny and Arven) exist. Luca may run into them. But it’s not a big priority for me.

- The Main Character (AKA The Player Character) also exists! But…no one remembers their name or gender for some reason. They’re also really hard to recognize because they frequently change up their look at salons. The only bonafide way to ID them is the fact that they ride “a weird Cyclizar”. It might be fun to include them in a background cameo at some point!

- The events of the game Pokemon Scarlet/Violet happened 2 years ago. In my writings, Team Star is officially disbanded, though there are some who cling to vestiges of it for sense of nostalgia and belonging, others because of a feared loss of identity, and a few who try to revive it in a bid for power. Sada/Turo are not present due to the canon events, the Great Crater is more secured against infiltration, and knowledge of what lives within is either highly classified or merely rumors. I’m not too interested in exploring any of that at this time.

- The canon teachers exist, but are more akin to Educational Department Heads. They occasionally teach courses in person though, if a member of their teaching staff is sick/on leave. My focus isn’t on interacting with them, though Luca may occasionally run into them.

- The canon gym leaders and elite 4 exist. Luca may encounter them on his Pokémon journey, but that also is not my focus.

- Champion Ranked Trainers are more than just “really good Pokémon trainers”. I’ve got a lot to sort out yet with regards to this, but I interpret them as functioning as a mix between the Rangers in previous iterations of the Pokémon series, and the military in the real world. Just as in the real world military, there are different “branches” that Champion Trainers can serve in after reaching their rank, and I haven’t thought them all out yet. But some quick ideas of them are Rangers, Sky Force, Navy, Regional Security, Cyber Security, Medical Corps, and the Engineering Division. ALL Champion Ranked Trainers are capable battlers, but their Pokémon team composition and known moves varies depending on what branch they serve in and their MOC (“Military Occupational Code”, AKA their job)

- Real world drugs and alcohol brands will not exist here in this story. I’d rather imagine different, in-universe substances and habits. Some may be analogous or similar in effect to real world drugs though. For such heavy topics, I feel that an appropriate veneer of fantasy can make them easier and less frightening to approach, both as a writer and as a human.

- Alcohol as a substance will still exist, and terms such as wine, whiskey, and beer may be used to describe things. I will do my best to accurately and judiciously tag any posts with such content, in the spirit of goodwill and respect for my fellow humans who may not want to be exposed to such things.

The Story / This Blog’s Style

The “story” will deal with some mature themes, such as struggling with addiction, homelessness, poverty, the search for meaning, and trying to build a better life in the wake of self-destructive behaviors. The posts here will be a blend of Luca’s in-character Rotomblr posts, Luca’s Rotomblr reblogs, links to written chapters of Luca’s story, and art of my characters.

The Focus / My “Why”

I like Pokémon. It’s my favorite franchise. What’s not to love about colorful animals with superpowers, coming of age stories, and themes of friendship? I’ve always wanted to make a story about my own character in a Pokémon world, and I feel that participating in the tumblr Rotomblr community is a great way to get into it.

I’m also going through a lot in my life right now…. I’m a disabled person fresh off my 3rd time in an inpatient psych unit, and I’m attending a residential rehab program for the first time in my life. Life’s kinda a hot mess right now. It is sometimes very hard for me, in my heart, to have faith that I can fix my life and to hope for a better future…even though I fully believe in those thing in my head. I’m hoping that by reflecting on my recovery journey and recreating it with a fictional character, I will be better able to enact my values in my daily life.

Like me, Luca will go through hard things. He will feel pain, he will fail, he will be an unlikeable person at times, he will have dreams that don’t pan out…and through it all, he will get better and grow as a person. Just like me. Just like all of us struggling with things.

This is a going to be a story of hope, healing, and overcoming a painful past. I am a big fan of the idea of being saved by the narrative. This is not to say that I am necessarily a fan of “plot armor” or “Mary Sues”, both of which have their respective places but have come to embody more negative and distasteful connotations in our modern era. I like to believe we can all better save ourselves and make it easier to be saved by others if we work to develop a fiercely, often defiantly, positive internal narrative. To be positive in the face of adversity, to create hope in our heart when we can’t find it elsewhere…that’s been the most important survival skill I’ve ever learned.

It’s fine if you disagree with the notion. Though I humbly ask that you please don’t be a hater on my blog.

Final Comments

I’ve literally never made an intro post for anything, so…I hope this one was alright! 😅 If you read this far…thanks. It means a lot. Stick around, I’ll have some cool stuff here soonish.

Oh, and also…sorry I don’t have much of a profile pic yet. I want to draw one of Luca, but have been a bit busy. I’m a recovering perfectionist, lol! I’ll try to replace the default triangle one with something. …sooner or later

The banner picture is from the actual Pokémon anime (copyright GameFreak and Nintendo….I assume).

BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY, it was made usable for fellow Pokémon fans by the talented WillDinoMaster55 on DeviantArt. You can find his other free to use Pokémon backgrounds on his page HERE. If you have a DA account, please be a generous soul and fave or comment on the man’s work. He’s created a truly amazing resource for our fandom!

None of my art or writing is AI generated or inspired. Nor will it ever be. The created thing is not the point for me, it is the joy of creating.

If you have any questions, comments, or concerns, submit an ask or message me! ✉️

If you’re a fellow Rotomblr blogger with suggestions, I’d be happy if you messaged me! 📨

If you want to roleplay or collaborate on something, I would be super duper excited if you message me! 💌

…I like messages! I don’t get a lot of them (yet). And I’d really love to try and connect with folks in the Rotomblr community!

I don’t bite, but I do have a kinda chaotic life right now, and am infamously bad at remembering to reply sometimes. This is my side blog, not 100% sure if I want to link my main blog…it’s more weird and stuff. What can I say? I’m a human. Maybe I will someday. But not right now.

Blog Post #5: Critical Reception

To create a critical reception for the Hong Kong action film genre, a critical reception of Police Story by Jackie Chan would set the tone. Personally, I really enjoyed the film and would recommend it to others. As director and the main star of the film, Jackie Chan, did an amazing and moving job that showcases why this movie is well known and continues to be viewed today with high praise. The action is high octane and extremely entertaining to watch. The main character is likeable and as a viewer, you root for him all throughout the movie. Despite having my own opinions about the movie, there are both positive and negative reviews that dissect the film. Together, we’re going to deep die into the world of Jackie Chan’s 1985 Police Story and how it takes place in the genre of Hong Kong action films.

                  When the film first debuted in 1985, it immediately stood out for its unique approach to the action genre. Police Story relied on meticulously choreographed stunts and physical intensity that can only be delivered by the one and only, Jackie Chan. At the time, this film stood out from the other action films of Hollywood because the other films were relying on shootouts and special effects. This different take on action films was recognized as a game changer to many critics. It not only showed what an action film could look like but also how it could be performed. Police Story signaled its impact both critically and commercially by winning the Best Film award at the 1986 Hong Kong Film Awards (Imdb, 2025). The plot of the film follows inspector Chan Ka-Kui, played by Chan, a cop who takes down a drug lord and becomes the target of retaliation. While the storyline is not super outstanding, the execution of it is. There is a balance between high-stakes action and comedic timing, which is a specialty for Jackie Chan. Chan adds another level of authenticity to the film by performing nearly all of his own stunts rather than using stunt doubles or CGI, often putting him at great personal risk (Raymond, 2020).

                  As with every movie, there are mixed opinions and many points of criticism to be given. To start, the film received a lot of positive attention, particularly for its genre hybridity and national cinema. Scholar David Bordwell examined how Hong Kong cinema blurred the lines between genres, especially in the 1980s. The film mixes martial arts with slapstick comedy, and crime drama into a thrilling and cohesive bundle (Bordwell, 2010). Some have expressed feelings that label Police Story as both a cultural hallmark of Hong Kong filmmaking and a strategic move to appeal local and international audiences. However, some critics have not been entirely uncritical. There have been observations that clocked the secondary characters’ lack of depth in Police Story. Some feminist critics have also made an acknowledgement for female characters falling into traditional roles and tropes with a lack of agency. Despite these critiques, the film is almost universally praised for its sheer physically cinematic inventiveness.

                  From a technical standpoint, the cinematography and mise-en-scene used in Police Story have received high acclaim. Chan uses wide-angle shots, long takes, and minimal editing to highlight the physical stunt work of action scenes. This stands contrast to many of the rapid cut action sequences seen in a handful of contemporary films. For example, the final fight scene in the shopping mall is iconic for its dynamic use of space, lighting, and glass. It turns a consumer space into a battleground and adds a symbolic depth to the action. Jackie Chan has often spoke of his intentions for Police Story and his frustrations with working in Hollywood. Chan felt as though he could create as he wanted to, leaving him feeling constrained. He wasn’t allowed to direct the action in the way he wanted to and he wasn’t permitted to act upon creative freedom to mix the comedy and martial arts as he did in Hong Kong (Zhuang Qing and LiYueming, 2020). Chan wanted to create something that was uniquely his when he set out to create Police Story, and something that could not be replicated by Hollywood. In various interviews, he acknowledges that the plot may not be very complex, but the focus was showing the audience something they had never seen before. Overall, Chan’s response to critics is rooted in a performance-driven philosophy of filmmaking; He wanted to express that the narrative is important but the action that he uses as language to speak to his audience.                   Having watched Police Story, I find myself in agreement with the positive critical reception it has received. As much as I appreciate the complexity of the stunt work, I love the sincerity behind it. Chan’s character is very real, which makes him more enjoyable. His character is a flawed hero that makes mistakes and shows vulnerability. That creates emotional openness, adding a layer to Police Story that is more than just action. I understand it’s critiques regarding its narrative simplicity and although I think they are important to acknowledge, these limitations are still contextual. In conclusion, Police Story by Jackie Chan remains one of the most influential action films ever made, with a great impact on the Hong Kong action film genre and cinema. Chan’s creative vision and physical dedication to the project should be praised, despite the critiques it may receive. The film is inspiring to filmmakers and audiences worldwide, making a statement of passion, innovation, and the power of doing things your way, even when it hurts.

phighting oc - info + wip art

will edit once i finished art + if anything new happens to him

i might js make another blog for js my phighting stuff, if ur interested or sumn... yeah. i probably will

made one,, @just-another-phighter

so ive got. some.. uh things. btw lemme know if any of this dont make sense im still sorta new his name is mace guys. guess what his gear is !!!

i feel like hes originally from blackrock - he was supposed to give off that kind've vibe. but i feel like he fled to thieves den. no reason for that.. aha.. (totally not bc shuriken idk wym.) anyways heres his attacks n stuff. idc how goofy i explained them !!! it makes sense to me so ..!

primary attack - close attack w mace (since its primary attack, deals more damage than 2nd because technically hes supposed to be better at this since its his 1st opt) secondary attack - ranged attack, chain extends for him to hit (deals less damage than primary, but still a good amount) phinisher - spins around and throws mace in the air, falls back down as a bigger mace. jumps up onto the handle tip and laughs before jumping down to the ball/spike part and being able to lead it to hit in certain directions. swings about 5 times before the mace turns back into a normal size. (teehee,, deals a lot of damage!!)

ability 1 - smoke bombs that the smoke is the color of what team he is/regular outfit skin color. doesnt deal damage, duh. i cant rlly think of a 'sprint' opt so he has this and whenever he throws them down he js sorta runs off.. so thats his like 'sprinting' thing. ability 2 - hits mace against the ground like one of those cartoons where the person is hitting down a hammer. the ground cracks a little and anyone in said area (area is lit with said color of team/regular skin outfit color as a warning before dealing damage) gets hurt. the crack isnt too big and depending on how close/far you are from where he's hitting it could be a lot of damage or a little. most of the time its an easy attack to dodge, though.

he/they pronouns, trans (i totally like dont make most of my ocs trans bc i am haha.. aha.. hah.)

he carves his horns - sometimes he forgets to so they might look a little phunky some days.

tight bandages to help with wrists. when hes not out phighting he wears some of those like wrist wrap things so his wrists dont move around a lot - sometimes they be hurting because of how he swings around his mace n stuff.

i kinda be shipping him w shuri but technically hes single so like. yeah.

sharp teeth. because i said so.

his personality is sorta all over the place. sometimes hes nice, sometimes hes an asshole. hes learn to let loose a little bc of shuri. he likes hanging out at the cafe sometimes - if hes not though hes either training (somewhere..) or being emo.

k thats it for now

Another Monday another bi weekly blog post!!

This week, like the previous, is juicy! I really am enjoying the one-a-day method even if it's not the most efficient it keeps me working on this passion project and from burning out!

First things first, I fixed the *AWFUL* lag spikes caused by the calculations mice run when fleeing from the player. It was running the code more than necessary but it is now fixed! When the full base mechanics are done, before we add npcs I'll be doing tweaks to polish the prey AI's but for now it's great!

Next is secondaries,(secondaries are the patterns that go on your pelt, ex: spots,) there was a problem with them, they are *always on top* of everything, unfortunately there is only one way to fix it but it is a hefty load that I'll start on today after I shower and get this out!

TDLR: the system needs a rework.

Next is that I added BACKGROUNDS, you can be a kittypet, stray or a clan born cat! Technically because the first map has no houses and there's no npcs yet, stray and kittypet have no difference but later they will be distinguishable! These backgrounds also change where you spawn, clan born cats spawn where their clan is while strays spawn in random-ish locations, I made a small map below with the red being stray locations and the blue being clans!

Minor change but the ugly generic sand bridge is now a super awesome path of rocks in the water, although it's functionally decoration now, in the future it'll cost stamina to cross, you can pounce on other cats crossing (hopefully they can swim 😬) and special events may cover it preventing non swimming cats from crossing!

Stamina is another mechanic that has been added! When doing actions like pouncing, you'll lose stamina, stamina is slowly regained every couple seconds in a batch of 10, you start with a base maximum stamina star of 100. It's not super complicated but I want to add it as another mechanic that affects your decision making but isn't a drag to play with.

Another base mechanic has also been added, sleeping and sleep deprivation! You have 4 bars of sleep that fade as the passes, but I'd you don't sleep out will go into the negatives causing you to have less stamina and eventually, *die*. You can also see i made an awful looking sleep indicator button, it needs polishing but it's the basis for other button prompts for things like burying prey.

A concern was brought up a long while ago by the games co-desginer (MsWolfy/Whimsy). The issue was that some people with disabilities or just in general may struggle to estimate where they will land when pouncing on prey, in the settings there is now a pouncing indicator! It's simply a red circle, I prefer to adjust myself but for someone who really needs it, it's there for you!! Also making this mechanic forced me to re-look at the pounce mechanic and realize that it was abhorrently coded and a mess to figure out where you would land, however it is now an exact sciences, down to the pixels!

And lastly but definitely not least, character randomization! Randomize; names (currently breaks when building the game for release but I'm working on that) pelt color, pelt secondary and the secondaries color too!

Anyway, my next update may not be so packed, I think the first week will be spent on bug fixes and polish, adjustments and smaller mechanics however I think that that's just as important as the big things!!! Have a lovely day or evening
