#Otherwise there will be no tumblr left...

[eldest-moonlit]

If only it was more believable. I haven't really experienced my close friends and my acquaintances exactly leaving, it was mostly just me taking space to myself from them until I was ready to come back. Everyone who has left my life have left for good and never returned, especially those who ghosted and blocked me without warning. And for the most part, I don't miss most of them. I did come across someone here on Tumblr who I never thought I would encounter again, but truthfully I don't know if the person is meant to be in my life (probably not). I won't lie that I missed him, but otherwise I haven't fully processed what I feel about running into him again. I'm honestly just waiting until he leaves again, and I'm questioning fate as to why we crossed paths again, because I assumed that we would never meet again. If the thread of fate does exist, I don't know if I'm bound to this person by one if it does. And if we are, then I don't know what to feel, other than this could possibly mean something, or it's just a fluke and that fate is just toying with me. For now, I'm leaning towards the latter.

Various Nevermoor thoughts and things I've noticed after rereading the book for yet another time:

aka, everything that made me put something in the Discord or on here

— Cadence's braid is twisted up into a knot during the Book Trial, unlike the usual braid down she's often depicted with

— "Threads" of Wunder, the Gossamer being a "web", and the Wundrous Art of "Weaving"..... so fun! I need to look for more stuff related to Weaving and other Arts as I reread the other books

— Given Wunsoc’s motto of Containment & Distraction and the history of the Yule Queen and St Nick learning Arts in Sub-Nine, I wonder if the annual Christmas Eve Battle is purely entertainment for the masses or if it’s a distraction from something as well?

—— It’s in Courage Square… what if, if there is a Ghostly Hour there (of the massacre or of a related event), the Battle distracts folks from the possibility finding it? I’m team “it happened on the last day of the year” and not Christmas, but still 🤔 much to think about whenever that location comes up

—— If it is a distraction, it could also be a distraction for another part of the city just because it gathers everyone to one place and they’re less likely to be elsewhere

— Mog and Jack fighting but then convening a few days later to dump out their Christmas stockings together and trade the contents is Peak sibling behavior and I love them for that

— The picture that Dame Chanda is like “oh don’t cancel me but he’s hot” about Squall isn’t a photograph but a print of a painting. I wonder if more paintings of more Wundersmiths exist anywhere and if Mog could find them, or if they were all burned or something

—— I’d love if by the end of the series Mog has renewed the reputation of Wundersmiths and gets a new portrait done of her that’s hung up somewhere, this time where she looks healthy and happy, as a contrast to her bitter Hall of Dead Crows portrait from before

— Fen licking the side of Mog's face when she's crying <3

— Squall is so dramatic making the tiles of the Wunderground station turn black as he turns around lmao

— Aside from the obvious the obvious danger of the gathering, Squall describing Cursed Children dying on Eventide as a “mercy” and his whole “we do what we’re asked because we have to because we’re Wundersmiths” speech in Hollowpox, I wonder if part of why he wants there to be no more Wundersmith anymore and the Courage Square Revolt was because he was against the Society / government / Nevermoor using Wundersmiths from a young age for their own desires and gains. Anti child labor in the worst possible way lol

Tarantulas (Earthspark) for the character ask game

one aspect about them i love

His eloquence ✨

one aspect i wish more people understood about them

He is not IDW or BW Tarantulas and may never be. Comparing him to his IDW and BW counterparts may turn out to be like comparing Cyberverse Soundwave to every other Soundwave. Right now, they’re just too different. And I like it that way.

one (or more) headcanon(s) i have about this character

I’m laughing as I write this, but I really think Tara would have a Tumblr. It’s one of several ways he learns about humans, which has hilarious and potentially disastrous implications. xD

Tara uses the rubber ducky debugging method. A lot. He has a whole collection of little animal statues from god-knows-where, and he talks to them when he needs to work out an issue in his work. They’re an excellent audience.

one character i love seeing them interact with

Nightshade. No explanation needed.

one character i wish they would interact with/ interact with more

Besides Nightshade, it’s too soon to say for sure. I can’t think of any other character either of a similar caliber or who has complimentary traits. Tara would be bored with all of them.

one (or more) headcanon(s) i have that involve them and one other character

Before I share, here’s a song to go with it: Between the Lines by Felix Räuber (Spotify | YouTube) - For the full effect, I highly recommend listening as you read. Then after you finish reading, listen to the rest of the song and let it take you wherever it dares.

Okay, so this isn’t related to him and any character in particular, but I’m putting it here anyway for the irony factor. He speaks to very few, yet attempts to speak to many:

Tarantulas is a poet of sorts. For personal writings, he prefers the “primitive” method of writing things by hand as opposed to typing things into a datapad.

He takes something akin to a laser-engraving pen and writes his words on buildings that catch his eye, landmarks he likes, or other interesting places, not caring about so-called “property damage.”

He leaves his engraved notes and poems alongside a custom seal he came up with—sometimes left in places that can be seen, but often in places that are out of the way. In addition, all of his writings are in his native Cybertronian dialect, which is long-forgotten by most…

The humans and Cybertronians who come across his writings are intrigued by the mystery of the lone, wandering poet, but no one is able to translate more than a few words.

It’s like the very existence of the strange engravings communicates an internal conflict with loneliness—a silent cry to be seen, but also a desire to remain hidden.

Inspired by one of my favorite quotes:

"Artists are people driven by the tension between the desire to communicate and the desire to hide." (Donald Winnicott)

Ranger Construct | Tears of the Kingdom

We have new info on the robits!! I partially updated the old art & added some new based on what was in the gameplay video.

More info below the cut.

To (mostly) answer my own previous questions:

Friend or foe? Both! Link fights a few small constructs with horns (Soldier Constructs), but he also passes close by a couple taller constructs (Ranger Constructs) by cookpots who don’t aggro and do otherwise seem like NPCs.

Sheikah, Zonai, or other? Zonai! As confirmed by the “Zonai Charge” dropped by one that Link fought.

New or old? Almost definitely old, being Zonai, but we can’t say for certain yet.

Which ones are the real eyes, if any? Based on the single central eye on the combative constructs, I’d guess that the center-top concentric orange circles are the single eyes on the taller constructs.

The Ranger Constructs seem to be foraging: they appear to sweep the ground with their hands in search of things to gather and then put a hand inside their lower halves as if to drop off a finding for safekeeping. I thought: what if they’re foraging for magitech/electricity berries, similar to Pando from Strange World? That seemed like a fun possibility for their power source, so that's what is being foraged in the bottom right.

some pants i’ve seen on my university campus

[cannibalismyuri]

sometimes i wake up in the middle of the night, with my heart clenching between my ribs, almost feral, breaking out with negativity and pure hatred - the hatred of absence of everything in my life and the hatred of hatred of absence of everything in my life. and there's this huge urge to be furious. decimate all that's left of me and earth and all the stuff my sister gets to believe in. because i didn't believe in the tooth fairy or santa when i was eight. i wasn't allowed that luxury. at eight i was a mediator in every sense of the word, for my parents, for the feelings that were too big for my body warring inside me, for my friends. but then i remember that we exist to perpetuate the fairytale we didn't get to enjoy. we work tirelessly each day, i write notes in the littlest handwriting one ever did see (because the tooth fairy has small, small hands, sis) and stick it under my sister's pillow, i wake at insane hours of the night, at the witching hour, to stick presents under a tree and eat the cookies that she laid out, while the light slowly softens and bends around the edges as it swirls into the room, catching the dust spiralling in the room on fire, i work tirelessly to make a fairytale not seem like one to my sister. and maybe that's what the point of life is. to make it better for the ones ahead of you. because if you didn't get it, the cookies and notes with small handwriting and presents under a tree left by an invisible mystical force, then they should. and i remember human empathy and how much we do for the ones we love and want to protect from the harsh, harsh realities of the world, and suddenly my heart quietens and goes a bit soft around the edges, beating in a slow soft rhythm that seems to tell me i'll be okay, because i will. just because i will, because i deserve it. and suddenly the light flitering in - ever stubborn - through the curtains, catches on my sister's face, and it's more peaceful than mine will ever be. and there's something inherently beautiful about that. because i'm granting her the peace and unworriedness and sweet dreams (uttered to me each night, with no avail) that i never had or will ever have, and that's something good i'm putting out in the world. there's something of a tragedy and a love story and a love story despite the tragedy in it all.

My tumblr experience has been so dead for some time now :(

[jxsterr]

gang i'm going to be real i don't know what to do with this blog anymore. i don't want to leave. i probably won't for a while but ??

ever since the staff post about midjourney and people putting shit together that's only painting a worse picture i just?? i don't know what to do. my shit could have already been scraped. it might not have. who's to say reblogs of my posts from users who decide to let their blog be scraped doesn't mean they'll still scrape my post because Their blog allowed it??

creating means so much to me and my writing no matter what form its in is still everything to me. i am a deeply creative person and to bear witness to the death of creativity is just too fucking much

i've never felt so hopeless about anything. i don't want to pour my heart into my stupid little blog and have greedy corporations steal from me. do i say to hell with it and continue to upload my little analyses anyway since ai is virtually inescapable? i just don't trust this fucking site anymore. my full works will go to ao3 as usual but idk what to do with my long posts??

[pagesofkenna]

Every time my queue runs out i keep checking the activity tab on the app like 'no ones interacting with me :(' as if anyones even aware im here to be interacted with

[mieczyhale]

not sure if tumblr is being tumblr or if i've been dumped by a beloved mutual with no idea what i did wrong

[lacefuneral]

btw guys very important: if i suddenly disappear from tumblr it will never be because i deactivated. if my account gets shut down promise me y'all will try to help me get it back
