#No real tags cause this is pretty much a shitpost

[johken]

God, sometimes I regret not taking on that one dude who wanted me to findom him

This isnt in ad unless

[wish-i-were-heather]

This is a long post but not a vent its the opposite of a vent ykwim like a long happy rant

I love you all so much.

Maybe I’m just all dramatic and emotional because I’m on my period, maybe because I’m writing this late at night and I’m gonna think it’s really cringe in the morning, but I love you guys so much. Tumblr has brought me so much joy. I’ve been here for maybe three or four months now? And I can’t really think of a time in my life where I was happier. 

I first made an account after scrolling aimlessly. I would go onto the tumblr website and it would let me search a bit until it was like “you need to make an account to keep going!!” And then I’d just close it and move on. But then one day I decided  hey what the heck just do it. So I made an account, and I didn’t really know what I was doing. I came up with this username because I liked conan gray, I gave myself  a daphne blake profile picture because she has red hair, and just kinda explored. 

I looked through tags of fandoms I love like the inheritance games and pjo and shatter me and even scythe (which was when i was then brought to the realization that the aoas fandom really is dead everywhere even here😔). But I just kinda explored.

Then I found all you guys, the cute aesthetic tumblrinas! And omg I thought everyone was so cool. Pretty much everyone I’m mutuals with now is someone who i found their blog and was like OMG I WANNA BE ONE OF THEM!! I loved the friendships and the connection and just seeing everyone interact made me so happy. I think one of the first people to follow me back was Belle and I remember I legit freaked out because omg!! Shes so cool!! 

Now that I’m telling the story it’s a little embarrassing, but it’s fine. I just know I was slowly growing my blog and meeting new people but I still didn’t feel like I had real friends, it hadn’t been that long. But I think it all kinda happened after I accidentally deleted my account, and I sent panic asks to everyone. And you guys were so nice and so sweet and for a lot of people it was some of the first interactions we had. 

I have the world’s worst memory, but it just kinda took off from there. 

And now I am friends with all you guys!! I’m so incredibly glad I decided to make this blog that day because omg. I’d seen people talk about online friends but I’d never had any. But now?? OMGG I UNDERSTAND!!! I finally have people who are just as obsessed with the books/tv/movies/music/everything that I am!! 

My friends IRL are nice, they’ve read the books I read, but I cant talk to them the way I do you guys, yknow? Tumblr is literally just such a safe space for me. I have a bad day, come online, and my mood is lifted. It makes me so happy and it also makes me feel so validated for whatever weird interests or feelings I have! I have a weird thought? Post it to tumblr! It’s just so amazing, how there’s people all over the world who care about me even a little, even just enough to like my shitposts. 

I’ve even infiltrated both the shatter me and tig roleplays, and I’ve really just done everything I could’ve hoped for when I joined tumblr. I used to be the one watching everyone interact, and now I am the one interacting! I don't think you guys understand how much you all mean to me. Especially as someone with bad social anxiety, who struggles with making friends irl. I also don’t believe in popularity in schools, thats stupid, but technically i’m not a “popular kid.” So I have friends, but not a billion. But here? Everyone is friends on tumblr!! It’s so amazing. I love you all so much. 

That’s long and honestly pretty sappy, also yall probably don't care about my whole tumblr history and how i got here (plus no one asked), but I felt like i wanted to share. There’s so much more I wanna say, but surprisingly enough as a writer, I’m not always the best at expressing my feelings over writing. My love language is physical touch, not words of affirmation. Which suckss cause i cant give you guys that. But this is as good as i can get. 

So thank you to everyone, my mutuals and followers and whatever. Thank you for being so loving. Thank you for being stupid with me. Thank you for listening to me rant about nonsense. Thank you for liking my posts. thank you for being here. Thank you for making me feel safe.

Cause every time I get a notification, I smile. It’s hard not to, when I know everyone is so amazing. I hope you think of me when you listen to heather, because I always think of you when i listen to online love. Anyway, I love you all. I hope we meet one day. Actually, scratch that. We will  meet one day. That is a threat :)

LOVE YOU ALL MUAH MUAH MUAH IM BREAKING INTO YOUR HOUSE RIGHT NOW BTW WERE GONNA WATCH HALLOWEEN MOVIES AND HAVE HOT CHOCOLATE AND GO TO THE PUMPKIN PATCH AND DO A BIG GROUP COSTUME AND GO TRICK OR TREATING TOGETHER GET READY 😋😋

Weird media guilt cycle : Why I stopped watching, reading and writing about OF

So I used to be pretty active on here about a certain show (ahem ahem) while it was airing, but I started falling behind on new episodes airing and I started feeling ... Guilty ?

Like, my reasons for taking a break were real but not that deep :

despite being really fun to watch, it brought back memories of a pretty chaotic time in my life and made it tricky for me to handle some of my emotions regarding basically all the characters

I was just visiting my partner in Canada and wasn't prioritising watching this show.

But nevertheless, I fell an episode behind, which was normal. Then two. And then three. And at this point there was so many meta posts to engage with, so many things I was tagged in, so much I wanted to read, I didn't know where to start, and I didn't want to get spoiled. And I felt weirdly guilty for not being able to engage, maybe because this was my first time being involved in any kind of Tumblr community.

I felt bad not to reply and contribute to the discourse around the show ; I wanted to avoid spoilers and was so behind so I couldn't read anything and could barely go on Tumblr for a bit, because it was also reminding me I was Behind™. See how other feelings about my life were starting to get into it.

I felt like by the time I would come around to watch, everything meaningful would have been said, and like I had to be the first to comment on something for it to be valuable, and like I was not as dedicated as everyone else. Like I wasn't being productive enough, original enough... About watching one damn show.

I loved watching it ! And watching it with a community, analysing it with everyone, reading all the great posts, was so fun ! But suddenly it caused me dread.

Because coincidentally, many other things in my life that I liked stopped being fun around the same time. Other life stuff made me sink. And this show kinda became emblematic of the pause it felt like my life was taking, of me not being able to follow through, of me feeling directionless. Of me feeling like I had to focus on productive things to be worth of existing, like I was existing in an in between where I wasn't accomplishing enough. And I couldn't watch shows at all for the most part, much less shows about characters feeling lost in their lives.

Ridiculous? Yes. Very real for anxiety-ridden me? Also yes.

I was talking with my therapist the other day though, and we noted that I'm lacking creative outlets since my little depression-y phase a month ago. And that in a way, reading and writing meta about that show was filling a need for creative stuff in my life, since I no longer do YouTube/Tiktok like I also used to.

So ! After a month of being harsh with myself, I'm trying to reintroduce little joys, little moments of creation. And it's silly that writing meta about a show might be part of that, but I guess it was a form of self expression, and in my current phase I need any alley of self expression I can get.

All of this to say... I'm going to start watching that show again !

I'm going to catch up on all the amazing posts people have written about it. I'm going to write silly or serious posts about it. I'm going to try and have fun with it.

Is there any big lesson ? Probably not, or only that we truly have interesting relationships with pieces of media and online communities way beyond what they're actually about.

Also please tell me, has anyone else done this ? I feel very weird.

Anyway if I suddenly start live shitposting you know why !

Hi ! Welcome to my new OC blog , thank you for stopping by . I'm on the EST & i've recently come back to this hellsite after a nearly 9 year long break from writing . Lou from @tobeblamed unintentionally inspired me to come back so here i am !! i hope we can have fun & write together .

This blog is pretty much friendly everything !! I'm open to everything & i hope you will be the same . I won't tolerate hate of any kind , this is my blog . my space that i curate as a positive hub for me to escape my real life for a bit . i won't allow for it to be dulled . so be nice, just be a good egg !!

I will be on my main rp account most days !! ( @gunchamber ) so activity here will probably be sporadic . i also work a full time job unfortunately . i also believe i'm undiagnosed ADHD so i could very well be here shitposting but not replying to things , so patience is appreciated. please don't rush me on replies . if it's been a while feel free to shoot me a message to remind me , but continuous heckling will cause me to not want to write with you . i'll ask you politely once , if you continue then i will unfollow .

I am loosely a mutuals only rp blog , i'm only semi-selective . i also rarely follow first , and it's not me being a snob it's me being a pansy ass bitch that has social anxiety . if you see that we have the same mutuals , then i probably have already lurked your blog and i'm waiting to make the first move . it could be within thirty seconds of discovering you or several weeks . i am trash i know . i'm sorry .

the best ways to reach out and get things started is sending me some memes or tagging me in a starter !! if you are more into plotting , and we are mutuals send me an IM or ask for my discord !! i LOVE plotting some background for our muses to have a connection it's my favorite part !!

Shipping . it's one of those things that back then i would be like , shipping with all the muses that mine interacts with . but now i really enjoy and appreciate even the non-romantic relationships my muse gets into . i enjoy the slow build of our muse and based on their chemistry we will see if things become romantic!! world building and plotting is beautiful like that isn't it ?

Soft Blocking is new to me, but i like the concept . with that being said , if you soft block me and i end up refollowing you . i'm not doing it with ill intent or out of spite , i would just think something with tumblr happened that made me unfollow you . i apologize in advance .

Updated: 11/28/2024 :3

I cannot believe I didn’t bother making a proper one sooner

Anyways, info under the cut cause this thing is long as heck, and I didn’t mean to make it that way.

Uh. I shall give a gold star to whoever reads the whole thing, but DO NOT SKIP the DNI part.

I also want to clarify that I have a section with Palestine content, I know people aren’t willing to always look under the cut to actually look for that kind of stuff (I’m saying this as, most people not generally, but sometimes I do the same thing, as shitty as our attention spans are, I think it’s still important that you check these posts out and reblog them. I have been DEATHLY terrified to reblog and post on this account but that shouldn’t stop anyone from at least reblogging this stuff seeing as this stuff is 1000x more important.)

I’ve copy linked posts where you can find: journalists to support and follow, how you can help Palestine donations or not, what you can do to prevent the voting for more weapons in Israel <- this could be outdated!!, and what to boycott.

Do not, and I mean DO NOT skip that part. I can’t control your actions but YOU can control YOUR OWN. I trust you to reblog, like, and share the posts I link.

Let me know if I should make this a separate post for you to reblog, but I hope this makes it GLARINGLY CLEAR on where I stand.

TW; teeth as header in the start and end :]

🪐🥞🪐🥞🪐🥞🪐🥞🪐🥞🪐

Main info

Hey! I’m Perry! Short for Peregrine :)!

I’m a minor (above 10+, I wanna keep this a 13+ space cause of the cussing and my interests in horror art and other scary games. You kind of have to be 13+ to be on here anyway.)

I’m pretty spiritual

I’m a 4w5 intp. Idk what this says about me to others but uhhhh yeah.

I study the Paranormal and psychology

I like making headcanons and theories :]

I genuinely enjoy character analyses and overall enjoy video essays on media like indie horror and video games

I love hardcore horror and gore arts of all sorts. So beware of some of that. Ofc I’ll put warnings, just lemme know if I missed something. I also cuss a lot on here! So beware of that :)!

It’s come to my attention people have been posting real life gore of stuff like hyenas and actual victims so…That’s not the gore I meant. Fictional gore; FICTIONAL!

I’m new to the tagging system even now, so figuring stuff out is hard, but I’m equipped with enough knowledge on it and will put warnings in tags and captions since I recently learned you can block tags. Which helps loads.

Please be patient with me!^^

I’m trans, transmasc, and genderfluid. My pronouns are he/him, ve/ver, and rot/rots

I’m also working on getting a career or two in film :)!

💫🧇💫🧇💫🧇💫🧇💫🧇💫

Extra info

My favorite colors are purple, red, black, white, and neon pink.

I’m multifandom

Reblogs are much more appreciated but I’m grateful for likes.

I like mixed media.

Pls use tone tags :]

Please reblog artwork! Shitposts are fine for just likes. Text posts to.

I usually stick to canon ships because certain fandoms make it weird, but I haven’t seen anything in the main fandom I’m in, so I like to ship some.

I’m a multishipper. (Again, this applies to certain fandoms.)

I’m generally inactive here and there, but I like posting most of my fanart here when I can or remember I also post stuff on here.

I cuss on here so beware of that ig

I am half Samoan :]!!

I speak fluent English but I am learning some German.

I have social anxiety and anxiety so posts can sometimes be slower than usual since I’m almost always on my own toes. And because I have anxiety, if I’m being awkward, it’s nothing you did or said, I’m just like that in general.

I have horrible memory so if I post twice on the same day or hour it’s prolly because I forgot about it.

I reference lots of lemon demon and jack stauber.

I blame the jack stauber fanbase for my lemon demon obsession.

I’m the oldest of two brothers so you might hear about them here and there but rarely so.

I’m kind of an idiot, so please be patient if I ask you a third time to repeat what you said.

I have ADHD took a lot out of me to confirm I do. So posts may come later or at the same time due to this.

Biiiggggg undertale and fnaf nerd.

I’m an over analyzer who loves theories. Did you know I’m also an overthinker? (<- sarcasm.)

I don’t dream. I have nightmares instead. That’s where I get most of my OCs.

None of my stuff has age ratings unless it’s like tough topics to touch on or something horrifying.

I ramble lots and ramble even more in tags, so there’ll be lots of tags of just me rambling

‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️

Free Palestine! 🇵🇸🍉

DO NOT SKIP THIS PART!!!!!!!!!

It’s a genocide not a war!!! Z//onists FUCK OFF!!!!!!

I tried to make little watermelon emoji borders so they wouldn’t be confusing, but idk lmk if the borders help section it

I will also continuously update it if needed, and I take constructive criticism if I need to change anything, and no, ‘the only criticism I have is the fact you support Palestine’, or something, isn’t valid criticism. I’ll block you, and it’s not even a funny thing to joke about.

Links I have so far (I wanna remind ppl that if you don’t like seeing your link here just lmk and I’ll take it down, I’m just tryna share the word and I’ll soon make a post on its own abt this cause I think it’d be really important to make a separate post on this)

🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉

Help Heba!!!

https://gofund.me/7a794018

🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉

(This one is sort of just based off someone else answering an ask but I wanted to copy link this one anyways since by the looks of it, they have a lot of pro-Palestine posts)

🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉

How YOU can help Palestine.

🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉

Palestinian journalists.

🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉

No more weapons for isntreal, ceasefire now.

This could be outdated or time sensitive.

🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉

What to boycott.

COD boundaries In terms of the fandoms Death Note and CoD, I’d like it if you’re not a 18+ CoD blog. I am a minor and since 18+ is unwelcoming to minors - pls do not interact.

Undertale boundaries this is borderline DNI: frisk/chara shippers who ship them with each other or anyone else. F0NTCEST. GET OUT. Anyone who infantilizes Papyrus.

Gravity Falls boundaries listen, I understand Ford and Mabel have flaws but your inherent hate for people who are weird shows when you hate on these characters. I will forever be a Ford & Mabel defender, I don’t care. St4ncest, pin3cest, LEAVE. AND DON’T LOOK BACK.

Alright. Go nuts. Be respectful.

[sciralta]

The fact that Ramseynators are openly “conspiring” on posts to fill the anti Et*an tag with their regular posts so “antis can get a taste of their own medicine” since your one post is making me laugh so much because they really think they’re doing something. This just makes me want to fill his tag with shitposts about him because we know they’ll go absolutely feral and cry while we all sit back and laugh.

Two points:

Does anyone actually even go into the anti Ethan tag?

I’ll say to you what I said to them—it’s not that deep gorge you don’t need to do all that

tumblr etiquette 101

a list that is nowhere near exhaustive, from yours truly.

First off, welcome! Whether you’re a twitter veteran looking for anything but whatever twitter is, or a new user just done signing up, glad to see you in our ranks beloveds! Welcome home. Refer to this quick tour to make sure your fandom experience (or tumblr experience in general) is a positive one!

Disclaimer: I know it’s long, but please try to read or skim through til the end if you’re new here! This is by no means meant to be a rule book (for the most part lol), only a guide to help you get settled easier!

1) Your blog

This is where people will see and interact with you, so put some effort into it!

Try to choose a name (url) that’s simple. You can see it as your brand, it’s how people will perceive you and remember you. If you’d like to interact with other users here (and not use the site just for the content) it’s better to have something short and sweet, preferably without spaces. (Of course, these are only suggestions.) Rest assured, you can change it literally any time you want.

Have a theme. Utilize the tool that lets you edit your blog’s color or the font of your bio! You can make it match your profile picture, or your blog if it has a theme of its own. Make it feel homey :]

Fill in your bio. People will be checking out your profile probably more often than you think. Don’t leave it empty! Put in any information you’re comfortable with sharing and isn’t too personal (like your age if you’re a minor, or other TMI that can be found on other people’s carrds). It’s always better to add a name/nickname people can use to refer to you by, but feel free to use your blog description to shitpost still.

You can have an intro post. More often than not, you’ll see a blog have a pinned post, a post permanently appearing at the top of a blog until you pin another post or unpin it. You can make one of those, if you’d like to introduce yourself in more length, link any other socials or a carrd, and show others visiting your blog how you tag things so it’ll be easy for them to navigate. Not an obligation.

Keep your anonymity and your safety. It should go without saying, but there’s no harm in repeating it just in case. Your comfort, privacy and safety has the utmost importance. Don’t share any information you don’t want to. Don’t share your age if you’re a minor, or any other incredibly personal info. I’d encourage you to go by a nickname that’s not your real name, (blog name, your brand, remember?) since there’s safety in anonymity, and that’s lowkey one of the big deals of tumblr, but that’s up to you still.

Choose what you want to be visible. Your liked posts and who you follow are all things you can set to keep to yourself and hide from the publics eye, how handy! You should go through all the setting while you’re at it, set it to your comfort.

Side blogs are a thing. You can have multiple blogs that you can use for different things (see: different fandoms, art blog, etc) to keep them organized or away from your followers. Just remember that the replies and off-anon asks you send will be from your main blog, as well as where you follow other blogs from.

2) Interacting with others

You’ve set up your account, now comes the fun part!

Follow to your heart’s desire. If you care about others seeing who you follow, fear not! In tumblr, usually only two types of blogs keep their following visible to others: newbies, and big blogs using it to point people on other good blogs’ direction. Just turn it off, and go ham following people.

Customize your dashboard. Gonna mention just two things here: this is another reason why it’s really important that you follow blogs without sparing, your dash will collect dust otherwise; and you should turn off “best stuff first” in your dashboard settings, to have a better community here and all.

Follow tags. You can set it in your settings that posts with your followed tags appear on your dashboard.

You can check the og post for edits and context. When you see a reblogged post you don’t understand the context of (or don’t recognize the character in case of fanarts), click on the profile so it will take you to the original post. From there you can check the original poster’s tags to get the context, or see if there have been any edits made to the post, since when you edit a post it doesn’t update any past reblogs.

Send people asks... This is how you make mutuals, people! Do it off-anon if you’d like them to know your blog, or anon if you’d rather not! (You can still end your messages with a signature to show you’re the same person, -[name] is one example.) Send them nice messages, ask their opinion on something, discuss things, or just straight up shitpost lol. Go wild. The sky’s your limit and it’s definitely more than 280 characters.

...and let them ask you! You can set your preference in the settings, do it on desktop tumblr to access more settings tho! What you can customize on mobile is limited (like letting people ask you things anonymously, that’s only on desktop settings). In my personal opinion, it’s always better to tag their username (or a nickname you give them, if they’re a friend) on that post, since you wouldn’t want your interactions with your friends to get buried in your blog forever.

Comment on posts. If you have something to say but don’t want the post to appear on your blog you can add a comment. The owner of the post will get a notif for it, but for anyone else you need to tag them.

For the love of god, reblog. People will only see your liked posts if you have it visible to public and they specifically go on your blog to look at them. You like something? You reblog. It’s already hard for posts to circulate properly, if you don’t reblog them literally no one will see them. If not for anything do it for the artists. Just hold and drag on mobile to fast rb.

3) Your Posts

Finally here! Don’t be a lurker, post and engage!

Make use of “read more”. If your post is long, add it. That’s what you clicked on earlier to expand this post. On desktop leave an empty line and you’ll see three dots appear, and on mobile type :readmore: on that empty line.

Draft a post to come back to it later. Pretty self explanatory.

Queue your post. Whether it’s your own post or you’re reblogging, make use of the queue feature to a) not spam reblog and fill up the dashboard of people following you and b) keep your blog active while you’re gone. Mess around in the settings, it’s fairly easy to set up.

Schedule your post. Same as queueing, the only difference is you get to choose the exact time your post will go up. Handy if you want to schedule a post for certain dates like april fools, or 5 years in the future for some reason. 

Format your texts. You can do all kinds of fancy stuff here (that’s a link, try pressing on it). Twitter doesn’t have this, make use of it. Changes depending on whether you’re on mobile or desktop. (Desktop has less features.)

Check your stats. If you’re trying to understand the algorithm better or want to look at some pretty graphs you can get your data on that on desktop tumblr.

@ people in comments. You’ll get all the notifs when people comment on your posts but they won’t see your reply unless you tag them in your message.

4) Tags, and tagging a post

This is where my earlier statement “this isn’t a rule book” stops being applicable. It’s not a war crime to go against these, I won’t come chasing you (don’t take my word for this) but you’ll work up a bad rep. Just saying lol.

Do NOT crosstag posts. It’s really tempting to add unrelated tags to increase your posts’ interaction, I know, but that’s not what tumblr is about. Don’t be a dick and make other communities’ experience worse for them.

Always tag your posts with “crit/critical/discourse/etc” if it calls for it. There’s no exceptions to it. This is the reason you see people migrating to tumblr. Let people enjoy things.

Don’t main tag a critical/negative post. If your crit post is about “Thing”, you add the “Thing critical” tag, but not the “Thing” tag. People block crit tags if they don’t want to see it, don’t shove it in their faces by main tagging it. 

If you don’t want to see something, just block it. Another reason why people are able to survive on tumblr. You don’t start discourse, you don’t make call-outs, you block. You can find something for every community you can think of if you go looking for it. The worst of the worst probably won’t ever appear on your dash, but if you’re worried or feel the need for it, you know where the block button is.

Feel free to shitpost or ramble. More often than not you’ll see people rb a post with a comment, and their elaboration will be in the tags. The tags are only visible on your profile and the notifications of the owner of the og blog. Just a thing people do.

Reblog artists’ posts with nice comments in the tags! Commenting on a drawing is usually done through the tags (Not an obligation, again, just a thing people do. Feel free to add your comment on the rb itself if you’d want other people to see it tho!) and leave nice messages for the artists! It’s a win-win for everyone involved. 

If you have more than a single follower, always use the common tw warning tags. You don’t need to tw everything, but tw’ing some common things is the bare minimum human decency. Keep it safe for others. 

Tag a post “long post” if it’s really long. Pretty self explanatory. Don’t make people scroll through all that please lol. 

You can use them to organize your blog. This is more of a pro tip, if you’d like to not miss a post in your blog, cause they will start pilin’ up soon enough.

#Liveblogging is pretty fun. If you’d like to talk to people during streams, don’t forget to add the relevant tags still! Again, you won’t show up on people’s dash otherwise.

Whew! That got out of hand. Hopefully I didn’t bore you too much. Check out blogs like @heritageposts and @hellsite-hall-of-fame to honor our past o7. @mcytblr-hall-of-fame too maybe :eyes:. Anyways, don’t forget the most important rule of them all:

Enjoy your stay! You’re meant to have fun on here while also making friends (if that’s your thing). Just be kind and respectful of others, you’ll get the hang of the rest! <3

Promo(tional) Post

I’m Overlard/Lard/OL and I bring the word today, and the word is that this is a promotional post in an attempt to increase the amount of active blogs following me because I’m pretty sure a solid 1/3rd are completely dead.

I once roleplayed on MSPAF, if you’ve ever heard of “the Café” you can safely blame me for its steady decline. Sometime during that I started RPing on tumblr and I’ve been on again off again roleplaying here ever since (especially after the forum got nuked).

I live on the east coast of America and I have a full time job, so I can’t really do much during the day beyond occasionally shitpost on my phone. That said, I’m usually available via tumblr DM anyway since my job is chill enough not to care about being on the phone so long as the work gets done.

Anyway, uh, my main trolls right now are the following assholes:

I don’t really have much artistic skill since I’ve only done sprite and meme edits, but i compensate for this by writing constantly! Like, really constantly! My writing tag is littered with whatever I put out! Here’s some fun selections!

Platar commits war crimes, but it’s for a good cause.

The bartender reached under the bar for an appropriately disgusting mug, glass filled with unidentifiable bits of material and heavily marked and scratched, then shoved it under the tap. He pulled the tap, and a sickly looking yellow beer poured out from the spigot into the mug, which he slid over to Platar. The anonymous troll caught it, reluctantly, with one fortunately gloved hand.

Gerrel wants to be a good moirail, and good moirails know how to work around their palerom’s horrific diets (Ft. Callan Ranpoe, who belongs to raitrolling, CW for emetophobia)

The primary issue at hand was that Callan loved all those flavors which were absolutely terrible for you, namely sweetness in particular. He also particularly enjoyed dishes made with excess butter or cheese products. Gerrel had so far managed to get by through serving dishes that made partial use out of them, but none of it felt right. It was like trying to swim upstream, he was making headway, but there was resistance at each step. Unlike fighting a river, he was just trying to help someone he loved, and it would just be... better, if he wasn't trying to force it.

Xrumon really needs to visit a therapist

 "It's always you. You're only talking to yourself, that's all you ever do... No one else to listen... But now the act is wearing thin, and soon you'll need to leave the stage..."

And so much more! I’ve only recently started crossposting to toyhou.se so god knows how many other fics are still lurking on my evernote where I’ve either forgotten or intentionally neglected to repost them.

I don’t have testimonials because this post is long enough but you can choose to believe the following very real statement:

Best writing 10/10

- Greg

Interesting facts:

I graduated with HIGHEST academic honors in my degree which means MENSA will definitely be sending a letter any day now

Kormut was my first fantroll and has survived every purge of trolls I’ve lost interest for all the way from 2012.

I play tabletop games, like D&D, Pathfinder, Mutants & Masterminds, etc.

For anything more in depth, please see the following posts. Looking forward to interacting with more people!

And guess what I am still using this as. 6. Why did you choose your icon? Because the song slaps and their performance was so good, I am still grinning like an idiot when I think of it. 7.

I have no idea...probably a lot but I only talk to a handful and with the rest it's just silently following each other and occasionally reblogging some stuff from each other 9. How many followers do you have? I don't know tbh? Like I never really check the number, I just see whenever someone new follows but that's it 10. How many do you follow? I literally have no idea, maybe around 300 people? But like half of them are probably inactive and I only follow them cause we're mutuals 11. Have you ever made a shitpost? Yes and they are my most popular posts for some reason -_- 12. How often do you use tumblr a day? Nearly every day for several hours....too much, I am trying to reduce it though 13. Did you have a fight/argument with another blog once?

How do you feel about ‘you need to reblog this’ posts? I hate them so much and I usually try to ignore them 15. Do you like tag games? YES!!!! I love them!! 16. Do you like ask games? YES, I like to ask someone something and shower them with love and to recieve love in return!!! 17. Which mutuals do you think are tumblr famous?

No. I never had a crush on anyone so I wouldn't know tbh. But I know they are incredibly beautiful <3

[kinkykinard]

Tagged by the wonderful @moonbeameddie - thank you! 💗💗💗

Why did you choose your URL?

I love me some Eddie, and as a firefighter and a medic I thought it was fitting for him. ❤❤

Any sideblogs?

Yes.

Some of them I’m going to keep safely tucked away in secret, but you can check these ones out!

@curator-of-shitposts - a collection of only the finest shitposts, positivity posts, and things I find amusing.  If you need some serotonin, go check it out!

@per-scientiam-ad-astra - my science sideblog so I’m not spamming y’all with my geeking out over new articles and academic shitposts.

@theplaceforprompts - a blog where I collect writing prompts and writing help posts.

@boredgaymer-girls - a blog that @fireladybuckley and I run where we reblog and post all sorts of things about board games, card games, video games, and any other kind of game you can think of.  It hasn’t been updated in a while, but it still lives, I promise!

How long have you been on Tumblr?

Too long.

This blog has been around for what, six years I think?  I went from being a Star Trek blog to being a 9-1-1 blog.

My other main blog that’s now completely dead and I haven’t logged into in like.... 2 years, has been around since not too long after Tumblr was established.

Do you have a queue tag?

Yes!  I have a couple of different ones, depending on the content I’m queueing.

#9-1-1 what is your queue? - for all of my 9-1-1 and LS stuff.

#damn it man I'm a doctor not a queue - for pretty much everything else - it’s a relic from my Star Trek blogging days!

Why did you start your blog in the first place?

My original blog was started when @fireladybuckley showed me some of the cool stuff you can see on Tumblr.  This blog was created in an attempt to find a wider audience for my fanfiction. 

Why did you choose your icon?

Because I would give my life for Eddie Diaz and I love the scene it’s taken from. 😎😎😎

Why did you choose your header?

I didn’t.  My layout is a default layout, but I like the crisp and clean look of it, so I just kept it the way it is!

What’s your post with the most notes?

I have so many posts it took jetblackcode like 10 minutes to sort through them all.

It’s this old Star Trek reader insert soulmate AU here.

How many people do you follow?

387. 

Have you ever made a shitpost?

I make shitposts all the time.  

Take MS Paint away from me before I make any more awful, horrible memes.

How often do you use Tumblr?

Daily.

Did you have a fight/argument with a blog once? Who won?

I’ve had a few squabbles with other blogs in my time.  I usually win because I keep a cool head and use factual information to bolster my arguments and I’m rabid AF and won’t drop something when I know I’m right.

How do you feel about “you need to reblog this post”?

Honestly?  I think it’s garbage.

As someone with crippling anxiety and mental health issues, and as someone who works with countless patients with mental health issues, those kinds of guilt trippings posts are more harmful than they are helpful to whatever cause they’re insisting you spread word about, at least on this particular site.  People come to Tumblr to have fun, look at and reblog fun things, and get away from the things they’re facing in the real world around the clock.  Throwing those kinds of guilt trips in their faces is unhelpful at best and damaging AF at worst.  Besides that, just because someone doesn’t reblog a post about a particular issue doesn’t mean they’re not invested and supportive in other ways.  

Stop it.  Don’t be that asshole.

Do you like tag games?

Yes! 💗💗

Do you like ask games?

Yes! 💗💗

Which of your mutuals do you think is tumblr famous?

Oh man, so many of them.  Definitely @ashavahishta and @hmslusitania and @outrunningthedark - any time we interact I scream a little inside like the fangirl that I am.

Do you have a crush on a mutual?

Well I’m common-law married to @fireladybuckley and she is my Earth, my moon, my sun and stars.  Every time I think about her, though we’ve been together for over 7 years, I get butterflies in my stomach and I want to barf rainbows.

Tagging (if y’all want to do it):

@dearestdiaz @fireladybuckley @bookcaseninja @fleurdebeton @buckleyevan @eddiediazisascorpio @himbodiaz @lesbiandiaz @the-moons-raes @spnheartfic @nurse-buckley @outrunningthedark and anyone else who is interested!

Okay, so Minna Sundberg uploaded a new comic, and, uh...what happened? 

It’s called “Lovely People” if I remember correctly. It started out as a pretty decent commentary on social credit systems, but then spiraled downwards into a Fundamentalist Christian tract. The entire reason I liked her work to begin with was because yes, she had a great art style, but also because Stand Still Stay Silent was an interesting usage of pagan mythologies. 

According to the author’s note, she found a newfound faith in Christianity, which is great and all, but, like...I’m concerned? Not just for her work, but for her as well. Saying that her audience can only repent for their sins by converting is a staggeringly terrible idea and kind of a spit in the face to some of them, especially people like me who don’t have religious beliefs. 

I’m not sure what to think. I’m just...I’m just kind of confused right now, if I’m being honest. This probably shouldn’t affect me as bad as it does, but it does. I hope Stand Still Stay Silent doesn’t turn into Lovely People, because I genuinely enjoy Stand Still Stay Silent and I really don’t want to stop reading it if she starts cramming her beliefs into it. I don’t normally mind works when they’re political from the start, but just shoving it into something that wasn’t political to begin with seems like a recipe for disaster.

The various Minecraft SMPs I watch as literary genres/categories. 

Hermitcraft - early middle school fantasy with no stakes where everyone’s just sort of chilling. 

Empires SMP - solidly middle school fantasy with a lighthearted tone that keeps divebombing straight into “ow”. 

Dream SMP - a straight-up YA novel with bloodshed, chaos and angst. 

3rd Life/Last Life - that chaotic Hunger Games fanfic you wrote on a sleep-deprived binge in 8th grade that is somehow still good despite being written at the absolute peak of your edginess.

Get your Tumblr 2021 Year in Review →

[moonsbeta]

Thank you for tagging me @dandyvespa 💖! I loved all these questions!! And I also enjoyed reading what you said!

1. Why did you choose your url?

I chose this url cause I’m a huge moon enthusiast, I’ve always gravitated towards the moon ever since I was a child (it’s always calmed and grounded me). And beta well, for multiple reasons! When it comes to writing I like to beta, and drawing I find beta work to be amazing. And lastly with abo dynamics I would totally be a beta lol! So all around I’m a beta when it comes to doing things. So hence moonsbeta!

2. Any side blogs? If you have them name them and why you have them.

Nope! This is my only blog, and has been for awhile! Although this is not my first blog, I previously had two others (I think lol)

3. How long have you been on tumblr?

Since 2015 but on this blog since 2017, I believe!

4. Do you have a queue tag?

I do not!

5. Why did you start your blog in the first place?

I wanted to start fresh! I wanted to create a blog where I could post about ALL my likings and not just one specific thing! To be able to post about multiple things but be organized and make it look nice hahaha!

6. Why did you choose your icon/pfp?

I’m just in love with this picture of Jungkook! It’s probably one of my favorite pictures of him ever! I love how he looks, with his pretty face and features! His pout and pretty hair and eyes!

7. Why did you choose your header?

I chose it cause I definitely wanted something animated/a gif, probably from an anime. I also wanted it to be pink to go with my pink theme. And so waves seemed fitting and I found this one that just fits perfectly! I love how it looks like the waves lap into the actual background because the colors are so similar!

8. What’s your post with the most notes?

It’s this post I screen-recorded of Jin’s birthday live! It was my favorite part of the live and I found it so funny! So I’m happy it’s this one! I remember sitting and thinking what I should caption it lol I was so shocked to see that many notes!

https://moonsbeta.tumblr.com/post/189454488206/as-soon-as-jin-left-it-became-a-jungjihope

9. How many mutals do you have?

Around 3-4! 💕

I’m always down to have more but I’m terrible at communication/responding 😔

10. How many followers do you have?

282! <333

11. How many people do you follow?

492!! Damn I didn’t even know I followed that many, but all of them are 👌🏻

12. Have you ever made a shitpost?

Umm,,, I’m not sure! Maybe?

13. How often do you use tumblr each day?

I hadn’t been using it as frequently but recently I’ve been on here a bit more! Maybe once to three times a day!

14. Did you have a fight/argument with another blog once? Who won?

I haven’t! Not that I remember, even online I’m scared of confrontation LOL! I know that I have a private post that I made which is reallly long responding to someone that said some unnecessary stuff I disagreed with but I didn’t have the guts to post it publicly!

15. How do you feel about ‘you need to reblog this’ posts?

I don’t like it when posts have that or are being too aggressive with a “you’re ‘this’ if you don’t reblog” cause I don’t want guilt-tripping to be the reason for a reblog.

also it makes my ocd act up and I become anxious if I don’t do it or don’t want to reblog cause I feel like something bad might happen and I don’t want anyone else to feel bad because calling people things will only diminish the real meaning behind those words and actual victims of those kinds of people, and make innocent people feel bad about themselves in the end.

16. So you like tag games?

I do! It makes me feel good when I get tagged, I love it! And I really enjoy reading what my mutual said and then responding with my own things!

17. Do you like ask games?

I do! But I’ve never done it personally although I would like to!

18. Which of your mutuals do you think is tumblr famous?

I feel like all of them lowkey have a pretty decent following lol!

19. Do you have a crush on a mutual?

I don’t! I haven’t had a crush in yearss tho!

20. Tags?

Tag you’re it~ : @evannotoven @winwxn @jiminieloved @iuconic @soonhoonsol and anyone else who wants to do it (you can @ me too!!) I’m also adding @princebeomgyu <3

One of my favorite words is the Japanese word なさい nasai, which I learned way before I learned Japanese.

Because it means "please", but unlike most words for please in most languages, it carries a connotation of "you're not allowed to say no".

See, in English, we use the same "please" for "please donate to help our cause" (optional), and "please open your textbooks to page 52" (not optional), but in Japanese, these are different words!

Honestly, though. I think it’s a good thing how much anime can pander.

For instance, Mahouka, (also known as The Irregular at Magic High School).

The main character is sorted into the “dumb” classes because he did poorly on the entrance exam. Except he’s really smart! He’s actually better than anyone else at magic, it’s just that his style of magic isn’t what the entrance exam tests for! Also he’s secretly the mysterious inventor of a new kind of magic wand everyone uses, who never shows his face! Also the most popular girl in school has a crush on him, and is also his sister! Also the government comes by the school and tells him they need his help! It turns out he’s actually a special operative for the military, but the government tells his classmates to keep it a secret!

I’m sure this sounds horribly written to some people, but I don’t know if I understand that viewpoint. Like complaining that something is “too” awesome. There’s probably something I’m missing.

anon ask:

Maybe scott's a good ally to women in Tech but not Women in tech.

(context: I recently came out as a woman in tech)

Yeah, lots and lots of words have been written on this. The women who like tech as a safe space for weird people like them, vs the women who hate tech because weird people not like them are allowed there.

Meredith L. Patterson goes over it a little:

I guess I mostly endorse it. Nerd spaces were a safe space for weird people like me, and then normies came and complained it wasn’t sufficiently accommodating for the same normie women that kicked me out of their spaces.

I still get the impression a lot of people don’t understand what doxxing is.

(I’m not vagueblogging about any specific incident, this has come up in three separate high-profile incidents in three entirely separate parts of the internet.)

Doxxing rarely involves literally hacking someone’s private information. Usually, it just involves using Google to find publicly available information, often accidentally published by the person being doxxed.

So this makes “it’s easy to find on Google so it’s not doxxing” and “they accidentally leaked it themselves so it’s not doxxing” kind of nonsensical. That’s literally all doxxing is.

I've been shown this tweet three times today.

Therapist: Linear Mandarin is not real, it cannot hurt you.

Linear Mandarin:

So I guess I'll do a deep dive on this.

All 15 of these characters exist, although most of them are pretty obscure. The mix of Traditional and Simplified versions of the metal radical is because some of these are so obscure not to have a Simplified version.

Cross-referencing several dictionaries to find information on these characters:

鍂 (metal/metal) piān – an incredibly obscure word for an ancient musical instrument no one knows anything about because it existed too long ago

鈢 (metal/wood) niē – as far as I can tell an archaic form of 璽 xǐ, an archaic type of royal seal

淦 (water/metal) gàn – a word used only for names (most famously a river in Jiangxi), and an archiac word for water leaking into a boat

鈥 (metal/fire) huǒ – the somewhat common word for the element holmium

釷 (metal/earth) tǔ – the somewhat common word for the element thorium

林 (wood/wood) lín – a very common word meaning "forest" or "grove"

沐 (water/wood) mù – a somewhat common word for "bath"

炑 (fire/wood) mù – an incredibly obscure word meaning "fire"

杜 (wood/earth) dù – a somewhat common word for "restrict" as well as "birchleaf pear tree"

沝 (water/water) zhuǐ – an incredibly obscure archaic character meaning "two rivers" or "river intersection"

淡 (water/fire) dàn – a common word meaning "bland" or "watery"

汢 (water/earth) – no pronunciation because it was invented by Japan (kokugo) and never imported into China; an extremely obscure abbreviation of 浄土 jōdo, the "Pure Land" in Buddhism; also used in place names in Japan (pronounced nuta)

炎 (fire/fire) yán – a somewhat common word meaning "flame"

灶 (fire/earth) zào – a common word meaning "stove"

圭 (earth/earth) guī – an archaic word for a a ceremonial jade badge

i hope this doesn’t come across as rude in any way at all but i do feel like i’ve kinda got to defend chikage in a way.

chikage has been made to believe that hisoka was at fault, that hisoka killed august. that the fact that his family had fallen apart was all because of hisoka - he knows nothing about what has happened. all he sees is someone he once called his brother living his best life after killing august.

now obviously chikage goes about his revenge plan completely the wrong way, but he’s filled with so much anger that hisoka is alive after supposedly killing august and sadness that august is no longer around. he wants hisoka to be alone, just how chikage has been alone since the incident happened. and the best way to chikage is to destroy the one place hisoka now calls home.

just because chikage is a good liar doesn’t necessarily mean he’s gonna know when someone else is lying, especially when he’s been forced to believe and has accepted that hisoka was the one at fault. when hisoka says he doesn’t remember, to chikage, who’s still angry, that seems like an excuse.

again, i’m really not trying to be rude or mean at all!! and i’m also not defending what chikage did at all because it is wrong, but you do have to try and understand why chikage acted how he did.

⚠️[A3! ACT 5 SPOILERS]⚠️

It’s totally fine LOL! I feel like half of the people on my post were either agreeing with me in the tags or saying what you’re saying anyway 👌

I feel like people are misunderstanding what I was trying to say, I was just answering the anon’s question on “what chikage did” because in a previous post of mine I said something like, “Good thing he’s not telling the rest of Mankai what he did-!” (Not like a “why did chikage...?”, y’know?)

Another is that I didn’t know the motivations (or emotions) behind his actions, I DO!! I truly do understand the reasons why Chikage felt and did the actions that he did (not to brag but I figured it out pretty quickly a little before the game explained stuff), I just didn’t add the reasons to the post to (A.) avoid more spoilers and just get to the juicy stuff the anon probs wanted and (B.) cause I just wanted to roast him and I like Hisoka a lot 😅

It’s my own fault for that though due to my shitpost language, though I really appreciate the explanation of Chikage’s motivations in lettering! 😄

The ‘liar’ thing however is something I’d generally want to debate (or like discuss with ppl in this fandom because, let’s be real, plot talks aren’t really a thing...?). I’m assuming the organization had a lot of spying and secret missions, and that’s why Chikage (to go along with his own issue obviously) is such a ‘natural’ actor 🤔

So, I still genuinely think he still should’ve been able to tell Hisoka wasn’t lying at least about the memory!! But honestly, I could except the excuse that his judgement was clouded by the information the organization gave him/his own conflicting emotions or that Hisoka is just too blank-faced to tell most of the time 👍

Glad you agree what Chikage did was wrong as well, I mean... I feel most people do, even the cabbage simps 🥬 I don’t even hate him, like he’s an interesting character- just still find him a bit 😬, which I suppose as I said is a personal opinion on whether or not he redeems himself by motivations/ending! But thank you for the explanations and the content, my dude 💖
