There's been a few lovely donations so far, thank you all so much! I am still in overdraft though so giving this a little bump :)
Y'all it has been a TIME
Without making this post a thousand miles long, between vet bills, home repair, and a hiccup with my student loan payments, I am very in the red
I would very much like to be out of the red, and also be able to afford to go out for a nice dinner to celebrate my 14th wedding anniversary, which happened earlier this week, but went mostly unnoted.
So! You know what that means! Time for another...
DONATION DOODLE DRIVE
Would you like to help me out and also maybe get a fun doodle in return? (Please note style may vary!)
Simply tip $5 or more at my Ko-Fi and include a 2-3 word doodle prompt such as "bunny pirate" or "round cat" or "great big butt" and I will take it from there!
If you want to help out and you don't care about a doodle (or the minimum is too much) then tip whatever amount you want and don't leave a prompt, and instead of a doodle you will receive my immense gratitude ๐ฉท
Thank you for reading, and extra super thank you if you consider sharing this post or sending a tip my way!
#had to buy some food today which... did not help the situation#but. we gotta eat#thinking about that tiktok where the dad sees the grocery bill and is like 'ugh why do we eat'#anyway#original tags follow#i applied to have my loan payment put on hold and they said yes but then#they still took over $100 from my account... i need to call them#looks like i got approved for a temporary payment reduction not a full pause which is not what i was hoping for#mod post#doodles#donation doodles#donation doodle drive#ko-fi#girl help#also people who are not girls: help#financial stuff#naomi art#sketches#also is that not the most flattering self-portrait you have ever seen? wowie#trying to do the flaming elmo meme. you know the one

Finally making an intro post! It's just gonna be a compilation of all the basic stuff for my blog.
Lots of information below the cut, including Blog Information, Interactions, DNIs, and Post Details.
Blog Information
This blog is just Yokai Watch, I don't post anything unrelated to Yokai Watch or its characters.
If I don't answer your asks, it's because I either don't know how to respond, or I planned to respond to it but forgot. ๐
Interactions
My DMs are always open to people who wanna talk, but I WILL ignore scams or bots.
If you wanna be my friend or wanna talk to me please just DM me, I love making friends :]
If you follow me and you're a Yokai Watch fan who posts/reblogs cool stuff I'll probably follow you back/moot you!
I also love seeing your comments/detailed reblogs (eg. Tags or additions) it gets me kicking my feet and giggling,,
DNIs and Intolerated Behaviour
Basic DNI stuff (Because it's wrong)-
Sexism, racism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, or any sort of bigotry or discrimination of any kind will not be tolerated here.
Personal DNI stuff (Things I don't want to see from accounts in my notes or on my dash):
-Accounts that post harmful stereotypes and prejudice, of any kind. This definitely includes radfems, terfs, trans androphobia/misogyny, and misgendering feminine men (promoting toxic masculinity)
-Proshippers (This can include Yokai x human). Some examples I can think of are Katie x Kyubi, Nate x Blizarria/Damona, Komasan x Komajiro, etc.. Just an ick.
-People who post art of/headcanon the trans mtf Nate Adams headcanon. It makes me uncomfortable and I don't want it being forced on me anymore, if you like it then fair enough but if you draw it or actively talk about it then DNI.
-People who post or draw NSFW content, this includes hardcore gore or sexual themes, I feel uncomfortable seeing that (especially Yokai Watch NSFW, it's a kids show).
What I post...
I have a really messy post schedule, it's never linear or straightforward, I just post when I feel like it or when I get an idea.
My most posted stuff includes memes, art, and general sillyposting. I don't reblog stuff that often, but when I see cool art or a post I really like/agree with (that is Yokai Watch related) I will definitely reblog it, especially if it's a moot's post :]

iโve been seeing ur blaseball posts for a while now and i have to say i have No earthly idea what it is. is it a webcomic? a band?? a sport??? pls give me a crash course on this seemingly cool thing
well shes dead forever unfortunately (riv) BUT blaseball was an absurdist baseball sim that u watched in ur browser, basically like if fantasy football was simultaneously massively multiplayer AND an ARG and also completely fucking insane. it was the best because it ran at all hours of the day and was so so fucking insane and spawned a LOT of memes and fanworks especially art and music! one of the best fan communities for fan music that has maybe ever existed if not The best. ur experience of it was largely filtered thru the team u followed (mine was the hawaiสปi fridays)
here are some blaseball sites for u
blaseball roundups from the youtube, i would recommend starting here itll give u the cliff notes And the vibe. these were done in character, the anchor is a guy who exists in the blaseball universe, also later on they started to be Plot
sibr faq <- this will probably be more helpful but do the roundups first because itll throw u into the lore (and while im at it heres sibr aka the society for internet blaseball research but most of that will. probably be unintelligible. when stuff makes no sense consult the wiki. or ask a fan)
the wiki, where u can read about history and the players and teams and such
BEFORE <- this is where you can still to this day watch old games!!! i love u so much before thank you sibr for allowing me to relive the beautiful game that we are all love (sobbing crying throwing up)
the garages bandcamp <- by far the largest of the fan bands (though there was also the park park rangers and the hades tigers and the los angeli juxebox) there is so much music on here. the majority of it was made in the span of like a year and a half. i got music on there! i recommend starting with away games or blattle of the blands or reunion tour or one of the world tours, they have the widest variety of vibes and will help u learn about most of the teams (im not biased <- guy who has a couple songs in there)
theres also sites like reblase and blaseball-reference and such but those are just catalogues of old data i wouldnt think youd want to trawl thru those as much. theyre probably accessible via sibr anyway
also frankly just ask fans to tell you stories, go in the tag on here and just go in random peoples inboxes. youll pull up some fantastic stuff that way. blaseball was so active and alive and changing and no two people had the exact same experience of it. and god there will always be stories. we will always be telling stories
rest in violence blaseball. i will always love you and i will always miss you and it will never stop
#blaseball#blb#sometimes i think about this stupid fucking game and miss it so so fucking bad i want to throw uo ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ#like right now actually#askbox#ari opinion hour

POLL TIMEEEE!!! <3
Howdy hey again! We are almost at 100 follows! So, I'm going to do something extremely special for y'all is to see for the upcoming new year. I'm going to actually post some information about my WIP(s) O_O no wayyy!!!
Ok ok being serious now. For the past few days, I had been a little burnt out because of all the writemas cramming. Writemas took a lot out of me, leaving me with 16,648 words and less motivation than ever. It was a bit tough to get through, which is why I didn't post my last day's work! But thankfully, I have recently recovered from the burn out!!
Now that I'm back from a writing slump, I'm extremely motivated to work on some things for y'all to see. Of course, one of the many reasons I went into the But there is a lot of things i need to do to get to and post so here they are LOL, and it's kinda overwhelming to look at right now, so I need some help on what you guys really wanna see! What do y'all think you want to see more of? What kind of stuff do you like to see from me?
From now on, I will be moving writing memes, art, life updates, shitposts, and stupid memes/rants about my Ocs posts to my side account -> @vesanalt
BUT, I will be continuing tag games(uhhh when I actually do them LMAO), WIP updates, exeperts, reblogs of moots work, answering asks(when I turn them back on!) and writing games/challenges!!
Basically, I'm becoming an actual writeblr blog.
Thanks everyone for such an amazing 3-ish months on this horrible hellsite! Have a good day/night!!! <333
(inspired by this post here)

MAJOR update
So I don't know if anyone else even cares about this stuff, but I made some huge progress with tagging/retagging things here. For some time I haven't been tagging any posts at all lacking motivation because, seriously, does anyone even look at tags these days?
Still, my love for this ship keeps me going. Maker, I'd forgotten how therapeutic the process is. For a few days I almost stopped dwelling on my own personal issues.
Anyway
Allow me to remind y'all that this blog has a list of TAGS, a rather extensive one. I shudder to think how much time I spent compiling it all, but it does make me happier somehow
We have an impressive collection of fanart, so many comic bits they had to be separated into their own category to make it possible to navigate through all the artwork, writings that I don't think can be found anywhere else. In the beginning this fandom also used to produce a lot of memes and jokes, not so much of it now, but we don't forget our history! There is so much to uncover and rediscover.
I guess that canoodling/hugging/cuddling/snuggling tags are still a mess (always have been) despite my best efforts, but I genuinely tried to make it make sense somewhat. Having 8000+ pieces of art for your ship gets you there. Hard to believe it used to be almost nonexisistent in the beginning. It was so easy to navigate in 2012...
I didn't even try to sort out the comics, and fiction is not tagged either, except for the most basic basics.
Well, if anyone has any better ideas/suggestions don't be shy about @ ing me. Hell, if you can think of any new tags worth adding, let me know. And if you could reply to the relevant posts with it, it'd be fantastic.
If you're bored and don't mind spending some time with Fenris and Hawke, observing them love each other, please take a look at the list. There are also separate pages for the people who make fanart and write stuff for us, so you can always find more of their works by looking up the artists name in the tags. Though this page is forever in progress.
There's always room for improvement, so if you have anything to say, PLEASE SAY IT.
Also, the pornstash is up again, and now there is some semblance of a system.
It is a members-only blog, since almost all of its content is flagged and can only be viewed by members. So you need to become one. Everyone is welcome to join, but please don't follow it. All you need to do is like this post. I'll see your username and send you an invite. After that you'll need to check your e-mail (NOT tumblr inbox!) and follow the link you'll find there. And please read the post i linked carefully, there's vital information in it.
I'm just really tired
I'd really like to sort this place out completely so that when I retire, and someone is willing to take it off my hands, I could be at peace.

hi!! just wondering if you have any stsg fic recs youโd be willing to share? iโm currently gobbling up 2sorcs like a gremlin and looking for something else to read between updates but i only really trust your opinions and characterizations which ๐ค๐ผ๐ค๐ผ๐ค๐ผ anyways love ur work and hope youโre doing well!!
Ah! First of all, thank you <3 I do have some fics I really like! I shall rec them and give a little anxiety disclaimer at the end.
Fic Recs - Shorties
it would make a whole - by @diggingupgrave 8.8k, T, First Year, Pre-Relationship, Emotional H/C oh i love this fic so very much. this may have been one of the fics that really got me thinking about their characterization in the first place, tbh.
As You Wish - by @haha-funny-valentine 2.5k, T, Post-Star Plasma Arc, Emotional H/C wonderful characterization here and I am just such a sucker for H/C.
The Heart of the Perfection of Wisdom - by @zombieheroine 16.3k, T, Prison Realm Gojo Character Study I took my skin off to check and I am shocked that this fic is not like, Doing Numbers. this fic is SO fucking creative and unique and I just. love. it. Definitely a big inspiration for FIYM. It's like Harrow the Ninth but for Gojo in the Prison Realm and like, oh my god so well done imo.
Longfic Recs with Caveats
and if you take my hand (series) - by @detta-pica 40k (Ongoing), T, Witch AU, Slow Burn Caveat: this is a WIP, and we're in the early part so very much Unresolved Romantic Tension. But I really like the worldbuilding in this and I'm excited to follow it as it keeps going, so big rec here if you like Plot and are down to follow some more ongoing fics. :)
coanda effect - by @bunniehoneys 250k, M, F1 AU, Slow Burn, Eating Disorders, Drugs, Bad Choices I am probably the last person in the world to read this fic so it feels silly to rec, but I'm doing it anyway because I'm a little obsessed. Caveat 1: also technically a WIP for another week or two
Caveat 2: TAGS check the tags. If you are at all sensitive to discussion of EDs, skip this fic, but I think it's done well and adds a lot to the characterization
Caveat 3: I am not caught up on this fic. it's one that I didn't let myself read for a while (see below) but F1 has a special place in my heart (my dad is into it, I used to live in a Gran Prix city, and I have watched WAY too much F1 Lets Play content).
I've been working really shitty hours for the past 48 hours (almost done) due to research that requires specific spans of real earth time. Because I don't have the focus to write right now, I've had the chance to read a little, and I've read about 75% of this gargantuan fic in windowless rooms on my phone, which has to say something about how much I love it lmao.
Disclaimer: I am a bad source of stsg fics because I actually don't read very many. If I read amazing fic then it tends to trigger the "you will never be as good as the old masters" part of the brain, although instead of real art like in the meme, my fic is putting gojo in a minecraft hoodie and making him do the gangnam style dance. Still.
I also get very unhealthy about metrics/numbers, which I mostly manage by using AO3 skins to block stats, but I still have some moments of weakness. So I try to avoid looking at stuff that I know might make me anxious/insecure about my own works and be unable to finish them (this has unfortunately happened to me before in the FE3H fandom, and that continues to weigh on me).
All that to say, there are some really big, nice, and well-loved fics by wonderful authors currently being updated, and I have read almost none of them. So this is absolutely not me saying I don't like their characterizations, I'm just kind of a hermit.

Reblogging is a form of self-expression
Iโve seen a lot of posts about how people arenโt reblogging much art anymore, with the authors encouraging people to reblog coz it helps support artists. But the thing about most of these posts is that they donโt really talk about how the likes-reblog gap isnโt just widening for art posts. It applies to other types of posts as wellโbe it short or long text posts, some edit you made, photos, etc.
I donโt have that much followers, but some of my posts have reached over 1k notes. (And some rare popular ones have reached 5-6 digits). I write a lot of metas both here and on one of my side blogs. I also make gifs occasionally, and I have lots of original posts in general too.
But in all of my posts, there are always more likes than reblogs, and the gap is often wide.
When I look through some of the blogs in the notes, several of them are empty but with their Likes visible. And if theyโre not empty, then all their posts are just their own. No reblogs at all...
Many of those Likes vs Reblogs posts talk about how reblogging helps the original poster but make little to no explanation on how reblogging serves the reblogger. And I guess thatโs why the likes-reblogs gap continues to widen. People are framing reblogs as free advertising for the OP when we should be framing reblogs for what it primarily isโa form of self-expression.
When you reblog something, itโs like saying...
Youโre so excited about the post that you want others to see it
You agree with the idea/opinion being expressed in the post (opinions, discourse, analysis, etc.)
You care about the things said in the post (like sharing pro-Palestine posts)
You identify with the community being represented in the post (like being part of a certain fandom)
You find the post funny and want to save it (like how youโd save memes to your phone)
You think the post is cute and want to squish it (cat photos, animal videos, kawaii stuff, etc.)
Or you just think the post is going to be a popular one so youโre โinvestingโ early
etc.
You can even expand these ways of expression by adding your own commentary through tags or reblogs. You canโt do that with just liking.
Actually, you donโt even need to have a clear reason for reblogging something. Posts can simply be like stickers or stamps, which you collect to put on your scrapbook (your blog). Years later, you can then go through your archive and look back on how you were before at certain times in your life.
[To those who donโt know: Yes, we have an archive. Itโs at username.tumblr.com/archive. You can filter posts by post type and by month/year of posting. Only posts/reblogs show up in the archive. Likes are not included.]
Moreover, reblogging is how you gain friends. Mutuals, after all, are two people who follow each other, and well, for someone to follow you, you must have something on your blog that theyโd want to see more of. If you only like posts, then whatโs there to see?
Original posts are nice, of course, but when I see a blog where all posts are just their own, Iโm immediately given the impression that itโs being run by a brand. And it may be that the blog really is trying to maintain its Brand imageโsuch is the case for side blogs dedicated to a certain topic (like poll tournaments or art-only blogs). But even then, people will expect you to have a Main blog or another side blog where you do reblog stuff.
Itโs kind of how we know youโre human. And itโs also how we know that youโre open to actually engaging with others on this site.
A blog thatโs empty or contains nothing but their own posts sends out the message that youโre not interested in or just donโt care about what other people are saying.

hey, everyone!
My name is Ley (pronounced like "Lee," she/they) and I'm a fiction writer/editor based in the PNW. I haven't done a proper writeblr intro in a while, so I figure the new year is a great time to reintroduce myself to the community!
โ about me
An important thing to understand about me and the way I talk about writing is that this stuff is literally my entire life. Even outside of work, I don't think I have a single interest or hobby that doesn't relate back to storytelling in some capacity. I'm an avid media consumer and critic, and will hyperanalyze just about anything that catches my fancy for more than a minute.
I love science fiction and fantasy, and my goal as a writer is to take all the genres I loved growing up and create stories that are a little more diverse, inclusive, and queer.
โ about the blog
I came to writeblr mostly to share my work, but also to find an active community where I can get excited with other writers and talk shop. Marketing is obviously a really important part of the publishing industry, but I get tired of having to filter every thought I have about my work and experiences through the lens of aesthetic micro-trends just to put it out in the world. Sometimes I just want to pop off about scenes I'm proud of, you know?
Above all else, I really just want to connect with more writers like myself, ones who got their start in fandom spaces and are working to take their writing from a hobby into a career. I see you, I am you, I love you, let's be friends!
Youโll definitely see me posting and reblogging a lot of stuff that isnโt necessarily related to writing, so be ready for that. My art exists in the context of my personality and the world as a whole, and I simply do not have it in me to maintain a whole separate blog for silly nonsense and memes. Just consider it a way to get to know the writer as well as the writing!
โ about my writing
I write a lot, though most of it is disconnected nonsense. Flash fiction and short stories are where I really thrive as a writer. I don't tend to commit to long-form projects, but I have a few projects that I'll occasionally share details about!
I like to describe my style as "earnest and character-forward," which is a fancy way of saying that I like driven protagonists who think too much and are emotional to the point of it being a character flaw.
My goal is to share more of my original writing moving forward, so hopefully you'll get to see all of this for yourself. If I'm totally honest, though, you'll probably see more of me discussing my work than actually writing it.
โ about my projects
Here are the things you'll most likely see me posting about:
Agnomen: A sci-fi retelling of Hamlet and Coriolanus, currently in its very preliminary stages. It is literally my Roman Empire, except it's set on a moon of a planet that I'm calling Jupiter as a placeholder (but please note that it isn't actually Jupiter, as Jupiter is a gas giant and therefore a scientifically impossible setting for large sections of the plot).
Alter Ego: A superhero fic in which not-so-mild-mannered reporter Drew Derrick fights for mutant rights and can't seem to get his act together when it comes to keeping the complicated parts of his life separate.
Untitled Fantasy Project: The very first project I ever wrote, and the piece I return to every so often when writing is feeling more like a slog than a fun hobby. I set a lot of one-offs in this world and follow a few key characters around without them having a real plot.
D&D: I write a lot about Baz, my Wild Magic Barbarian. He's a regency noble with a lot of problems, and I care about him very much. I also have various other settings and characters, but he's my most active PC at the moment and therefore gets the most attention.
Short Stories: Sometimes I write these, and sometimes I like them enough to share!
โ tag directory
ley rambles: my (often wordy) opinions about things
ley writes: not necessarily my writing, but talking about my writing
my writing: stories, blurbs, and other content I've written
not my writing: reblogs and creative writing that I liked, shared, and sometimes commented on
#also i am open to asks and tag games!#looking forward to getting to know you all#writeblr intro#writeblr#writing#creative writing#writing community

Prefacing this by saying: Iโm not a crashout and have never crashed out but sometimes itโs warranted. This being one of those times.
TLDR: @cathiief is a immature loser I have no ill feelings towards but bitch you couldn't mind your own business lmao ๐คฃ
So, Iโve been rp-ing for at least twenty-two years, never really like doing it on tumblr for various reasons; be it making and running a whole new blog, random interactions or cross-over stuff. One of the MAIN reasons Iโve only tried a handful of times is because Tumblr has an EGREGIOUS cliche mentality and itโs the reason for this crash out because I donโt bother anyone, if youโve ever interacted with me or followed my blog for any amount of time you will know that I keep to myself, never overshare or do this sort of thing. Iโm too old for the drama and foolishness that goes on.
That being said, Iโm pissed and it takes a LOT to piss me off.
In the last year of rp-ing in the One Piece fandom Iโve had some of the worst experiences in twenty-two years on the internet, let alone rp-ing which is a hobby, for fun, something people forget but come with me and Iโll explain.ย
Before One Piece the last time I rp-ed was in the Pacific Rim fandom in 2013, didnโt have a bad experience just drifted away from my blog and I didnโt want to try again until someone that would become my friend reblogged some art Iโd done to their rp blog. I didnโt know OP had an active rpc given how long running the series is. Sure it makes sense that it does but I had just finished the Whole Cake Island arch and ended up making an oc like a lot of fans do. This friend rp-ed the siblings and I worked up the nerve to ask them if they wanted to rp. They did, I made a blog and it was fun for months. This post isnโt about that friend. I still talk to them and adore them.ย This story is about one (1) person whom Iโve never spoken to and who I believe killed my experience with the OPRPC. Weโll get to her.
So, me and my friend get to talking and we discuss an AU of Sanji staying on Germa because his mutations worked and blah blah I end up making a rp blog for him and we have a blast.ย Now, while I was rp-ing with them I saw they favored one particular person, with the number of threads, responses, etc.ย Not knowing them for that long I was envious but it didnโt affect our writing or experience. Iโm telling you how I felt because as an adult I know itโs silly but a human emotion to feel these things. Iโm aware of my feelings and know how to act accordingly. The person this story is about, does not.ย
Weeks go on and weโre rp-ing, chatting on discord, having fun and I even start shipping their characters and this personโs character; the character being a Nami. (@cathiief) and yes Iโm @ing them because I do not respect them, or care in the slightest. I drew some fanart of Ichiji and Nami, memes because it got me invested in the little stories they had going on. It was fun, it was a part of the experience, I like to make fanart and draw for people I care about. I even gently reached out to the Nami on my Sanji blog at one point to see if they were interested in rp-ing but got no response which is fine.ย
Now a few more weeks go by without incident. My friend and I are on discord discussing writing smut of the brothers. Yes, irl incest is bad (it goes without saying obviously) but narrative wise it's a interesting avenue to explore and we're both grown adults. I'm not here to have a proship or anti discussion. My friend makes a small ooc post about how they'll be writing said topic, that it will be under a read more and tagged to be easily ignored. We get to writing and I do the same, content is properly tagged and under a read more. Keep in mind the smut threads are maybe 2% of what we're writing, often posted in the dead of night to be the least intrusive.
A few days go by and I notice the Nami isn't monopolizing my friend's attention with inbox memes or replies. This had been a running thing between them. She would flood my friend with attention, memes, head canon posts, gifsets etc. I asked if they were good because they had been worried about writing the brothers which is why they made the post warning followers. Come to find out the Nami had said that my friend wasnโt giving them enough attention and wanted to end it. I believe they were speaking for a year at that point and had planned end game for the muses, had idk how many threads and exchanged who knows how many dms. All gone overnight. I hear this and feel so awful because beyond the rp hobby it's just a deeply shitty thing to do to someone that's your friend. I didn't pry too deeply on how close they were but my friend was very heartbroken and rightfully upset over her actions. You couldn't speak to them? You didn't value your relationship enough to even say: hey I don't like the thing you're doing and don't want to rp with you anymore or what it brought up in our threads at all. Yes, I know people don't owe you anything, โfictional incest badโ, but as someone you spoke to regularly for a year and considered a friend? Nah, that's just cruel.
We continue rping, the Nami all but a passing fart and eventually I decide to make a new blog to rp Luffy. I'm getting into the swing of rping on Tumblr and want more. My friend has moved on and even made a new side blog for Kaido.
Playing the main character of a series with over 500 named characters I assume there's plenty of fun to be had and quickly start branching out, avoiding the Nami but not blocking her because besides reaching out from my Sanji blog I have not spoken to this person once in my entire life. I'm not the one with the problem, she is and I do nothing to conceal that I'm the same person from the Sanji blog. I don't link them however because Sanji's blog is basically private anyway.ย
As I'm looking for mutuals on Luffy I notice that cathiief is affiliated with a lot of blogs. I don't care and follow these blogs intent on interacting or avoid them depending on how they write or which muse they have.ย
The following two examples are what happened:
I don't recall if I dmed @embcrs first or sent in a meme but they rp an Ace that survived the summit war. In dms we are getting along really well, throwing ideas back and forth, having a ball. In embcrs rules it says not to interact if you ship the asl brothers together. I don't and never have at this point. In my mind this is fine because I don't ship asl and obviously wouldn't bring up my Sanji blog and have no interest in Sanji interacting with him. We didn't get very far before suddenly I'm blocked. Which is obviously very confusing because we were getting along fine. Tumblr is a bad site and so I thought it might have been an accident, I've been blocked on accident before mid-conversation and the other person has no idea how it happened. Nope, switched to my main and the embcrs mun is vauging about not having any Luffy's to interact with โฆ like ok? Lol. You know what's interesting about this? cathiief and embcrs ship their muses, a little scrolling shows me how again it's end game. ๐คย
I of course assume the Nami was in their ear. Oh, don't rp with cannibal they write incest.
I move on, laughing with my friends about how petty this human has to be. Next I find @chivalryburdened and we get two things started without any issue. It happens again: one moment they're on my dash, the next, gone. I've been blocked again?! This time I hadn't even reached out to the mun. Digging a little further into their blog, guess who've they've been writing smut with and endgame ship with. The same Nami. I don't recall the time between these two incidents but funny how that happened twice right?ย
Wrong.
Looking through the OP rp tag I noticed a LOT of promos or post that were there suddenly aren't. People I skipped over for one reason or another, be it I hadn't the time to read their rules yet or didn't want another multi-fandom blog on my dash are gone. Extremely talkative people I've noticed sending others inboxes are gone. ๐ค Switching to my main I see I'm blocked by all of these people without reason and they are all affiliated with the nami.ย
Do I have proof she buzzed around in their ear and like sheep they bowed to her word? No. Maybe they didn't like my vibes? Valid and fine whatever. But it's awfully funny how this worked out huh.
You know the cherry on top of all of this? cathiief herself doesn't have my Sanji or Luffy blogs blocked. ๐ Like are you keeping an eye on me to inform your clique? Are you bored? Why are you not minding your God-given business? Aren't you tired? Are you mad? Girl, it was never that deep. I DON'T EVEN KNOW YOU from Tom, Dick or Harry. What are you doing LMAO.ย
After saying all that you might be wondering why I even wrote this. Hell, I doubt she's going to read this or any of the other people I've @โd in this post will. I wrote this because what IN the world is going on in rpcโs in general. It's a race to the bottom. These same people will wonder why the rpc is dead and no one is reaching out besides the same three people if that. You killed it. You are policing people. You are tattling, in other people's business, throwing away friendships, all for what? To have your nose in the air and squawk about being the most morally good, thought-crime free writer in the whole community? That doesn't get you the gold star you think it does. I wrote this because I needed to vent my frustration.
I'm going to close this out by saying I don't wish @cathiief any ill will or anything really. I never knew you. You're a loser and kinda sad actually. I don't care if you think I'm a bitch or gross or whatever. I'm not here to psychoanalyze you because I don't care about you. I don't respect you. I'm ambivalent about you.

Heyoo, just call me B or Bip :)
I'm 27, non-binary, and I use they/them pronouns.
And as the username suggests, I'm just an oldphanny.
I've been round these parts for a long time.
This account turned 10 earlier this year, and I was consuming Phandom content a couple years before delving into the depths of Tumblr (mostly Wattpad lol). I didn't really start posting original content until this year though; I used to just lurk cause I was wayy too shy.
I love creating silly memes, edits and other content. Very unserious. I like to make stuff that you'd probably send in a group chat to your friends to make them laugh.
Here's some of my current favourites [ x | x | x | x | x ]
Plus I make art sometimes :) [ x | x ]
Asks and messages are open to everyone, so don't be shy <3 I can be slow to reply because of time zones and social anxiety, but I do my best to get back to everyone.
I'm also going to TIT Sydney (Gadigal Land) in December! So hmu if you're going too, I'd love to make some new friends and give out some bracelets :)

tan | she/her | 27 | no terfs/no minors
!!! OSCAR PIASTRI WDC !!!
follow/like/ask from @foxantoine
RPF is fine!
โ i make stuff: #my graphics | #my gifs โคท currently working on #f1blr edit challenge โคท check out my personal favourites โ i write stuff: ao3 | #my fics
ISSUES? QUESTIONS? CONTACT TECH SUPPORT โคทmore about tags and stuff under the cut โ
fave current drivers: OP81 and AA23, i don't hate on others, but i have to be honest their well-being and good results do not concerne me at all. i will however cut a bitch for Oscar and maim a hoe for Alex. i am not playing.
i do not support any team, im actually an active hater, but i am however tied to mclaren, williams and mercedes... unfortunately, for various reasons.
fave retired drivers: well, follow this blog and see. haha!
BEWARE OF OTHER SPORTS!!! mainly football (arsenal lads - #footy, etc. shout ot to Gemma) and hockey (mostly Sidney Crosby and RPF stuff (sidgeno) - #hockeyposting, etc. shout out to Kyle).
my tagging system leaves a lot to be desired, it is all over the place, however i do basic tagging! main categories are:
#tan.archiving โ F1 photo posting mostly Jenson Button and Merc Crew, but sometimes others too!
grands prix (like "belgian gp 2009" or sometimes like "monaco 2024");
years (2007, 2009, etc, you name it)
drivers and team members (full names like "jenson button" or "peter bonnington");
teams (this one is tricky because sometimes i'd tag just "williams", but sometimes it's "williams racing", but it is what it is);
ship names (like "sewis", "lestappen", etc; i might not actually ship it, but i will tag it, you know)
i also tag other motorsport categories: F1 Academy/f1a, F2, WEC, etc. but i don't post/reblog about those much in general.
and i tag #art, other people's #graphics and #fics;
i live-blog during races, but not a lot; those go under #cars lb;
also honourable mentions for #jensonposting, #jensoncore; #jensonology... because i am a well-adjusted and normal person... and inevitable #shovposting for shovtent (shovt content).
there are thousands of misc. tags i use such as #talks - for random ramblings and personal oversharings; #lmao - for memes; #video - for video; #music - for music; #inbox - for asks; #my stuff - where i dump screenshots and misc. things; tags with names for some mutuals/friends, etc etc. there's a lot going on at all times.

hello this is my first Tumblr and I am quite confusef Hel me!
Hello!
Tumblr in my experience is different from a lot of other social media platforms as there is no real goal or purpose or competition in posting. You can pretty much just say or do or add whatever and if people like your vibes the follow you, and if they don't, they don't.
If you like certain topics or Fandoms (groups of people who enjoy a particular show, book, media, etc.) you can search for it and click "follow" on blogs dedicated to those things.
Whenever they post something, you can see it on your dashboard (your "feed" or "homepage") and decide to comment (add pictures or words) reply (say something without sharing the post with your followers) or reblog (share with your followers, so that anyone following you can see the post, with or without adding your own commentary.)
Beyond technical stuff, there are some cultural things you may want to know about.
If something you reblog has potentially upsetting content- violence, traumatic topics, nudity- its considered an act of courtesy to "tag" it. This is so your followers who specifically do not want to see those topics can use filters to make those posts invisible. This is handy for people with phobias, PTSD, or photosensitive epilepsy, but also for people who just don't like those things.
There are a lot of memes that will not make sense. That is because posts don't vanish when they get old, so anything that becomes a "meme" often gets referenced over and over again for years, sometimes actual decades. Posts like "do you like the color of the sky?", "Horse Plinko", "loss.jpeg", etc. are examples of this.
There is no algorithm that decides what you might like and shows you those things. You are in control of your own experience. If you see a lot of posts from people you don't like about things you don't want to see, you can block them and never see them again. They won't see you, either. It's like making friends- you can choose to follow whoever makes you happy and avoid whoever doesn't.
There is a bot problem. Bots are automated spam designed to look like other users. This is often "cute single women" type stuff, but can also be anonymous or generic fake blogs that send out a thousand identical messages that accuse you or others of wrongdoing, or just send out basic insults. They will never see your reply. They only exist to cause chaos. You can report and block them and are encouraged to do so.
There is a difference between "liking" and "reblogging". If you "like" something, it is added to an invisible list so you can go back and find it later. If you "reblog" something, your followers can see it too. Artists prefer reblogs over likes, because they put a lot of work into their art (or writing) and the only way they can reach a large audience is if lots of people share it. Artists who are trying to get commissions or develop a career depend on reblogs to continue making art.
Sometimes an update or change happens that alters the website without any warning and everyone whines about it and adapts. This happens every few months. It's kind of dumb and sometimes makes it worse but if you Google "tumblr 2012" you will see that it's actually been a slow march of improvement.
Something weird will happen on April fool's day. Sometimes this will affect the website layout.
You will not get many followers unless you engage with other users. This is a cafeteria and if you wanna eat alone you can.
If any of your posts go viral you will see it forever until you die and if it's about Beans you will live out the rest of your days getting messages like "Are you Bean Guy" so tread lightly
You will need to choose an icon and change the appearance of your blog or people will think you are a bot. (Side effect of the bot problem.)
I have no idea if you are a bot or spam message this reply is an act of faith
Good luck!

Twitter -> lesser OC stuff, polls and ask request occasionally, I would say this place primarily only have my COD doodles(yk, without the mix of other fandoms) also a lot of my moots are there where I retweet their amazing fics and arts so come visit if you'd like (at your own risk though cuz codtwt is...reputable)
Instagram -> I post wips and silly meme in my stories, drawing process in reels and sometimes my irl stuff! (mostly me whining about Uni if you're interested)

WIPs Meme
Rules: Make a new post with the names of all the files in your WIP folder, regardless of how non-descriptive or ridiculous and tag other people. People can ask about the title(s) that most intrigues them !
This is fun! Tagged by @portfolio-tea-and-magic ๐!
After seeing a post about fibrecraft wips, I've recently done a bit of a rework of my folders when importing everything into ellipsus, so I have two categories! Active wips and UFOs - Unfinished Objects! I also tend to put the ship and assignment plus year in my doc titles so I can group by ship and also by exchange! So the titles below are exactly as in my folders heh. Anyone can ask about the stuff below and also the ideas docs, and I'll drop a bulleted fic idea from them if wanted! So;
Active Wips - things I'm currently working on or planning to continue between assignments
Caulrich - hold me like a weapon (title subject to change cos it doesn't quite fit)
Sart/Basch - Lost in True-Phoenix Flame
UFOs - things I've started and aren't likely to be finished unless I get the bug
Cid/Vincent - I looked at you and I saw home
Omeluum/Blurg - party spores part 2, pregnancy boogaloo (follow up to Tessadyle Cloth)
Leon/Krauser - Still Standing (this one isn't transferred yet but it's the only one with a chapter already posted on ao3)
Ideas Dump - my place to stash ideas docs I'm keeping hold of and other things
caulrich ideas
Caulrich Timeline
zamasian ideas
There was a bit about tagging people I think but I'm on my phone and didn't copy/paste it, so I'm gonna tag: @lesbians4armand @armandmollloy @eemamminy-art @7-et & @sweetmage! No pressure if you don't want to or don't have wips! ๐๐
#quailtags#quailfic#This is actually quite a lot of wips for me - I don't tend to like having them because I prefer to finish a thing then move on#but a combo of exchange deadlines shifting fandom interests and general lack of fandom outside of just me makes it difficult to continue#I also don't normally have titles for wips but the sartbasch has been going on for very long & the valenwind is basically inspired by a son
