So it looks like this was updated in May 2023, but when you're updating your theme on desktop there's an option to turn on "sample posts" instead of looking at your own blog, which previews @demo instead. and it's just a really interesting selection.

first there's a few sample posts to show off image sets, asks, links, and the plethora of text formatting options:

then there's a series of posts to demonstrate how the various media are displayed. for audio there's an actual @everydaylouie song, for video there's an ad for [tumblr] live, and for polls and reblog chains there's @relientk's original vanilla extract saga:

and then, for quotes and photos, there are still the original two. the confucius quote and the fischinger photograph. these are from november 2006; before the site went live for the first time:

It's such a perfect little curated slice of website

My best friend and I have a running joke every-time we use water chestnuts.

[genderkiller]

haaeeelp i got tagged by @phantomfitzroy so im being forced (!!!!!!!!!!) to do a tag game like its 2015

Are you named after anyone? my actual name Yes , my mom chose it (...im transgender.) because of a fuckig game of thrones character. but my screen/secondary name kill/killian NmmNmm? N?Y? Noyes Yes no? im gonna say no i did technically steal the name kill from some guy i saw on instagram but yea no killian was my own idea i wanna say

When was the last time you cried? im not sure. i think a couple weeks ago when my best friend was in the hospital. i cried like 8 times in those 24 hours. i really do NOT wanna talk about that.

Do you have kids? NOPE AND NEVER WILL EVER EVER EVER.

What sports do you play/have you played? i used to play touch rugby as a little little kid. wanted to play basketball too but i realised im not actually tall enough nor can i .... see well enough. for any sport.

Do you use sarcasm? Excessively. my mom raised me singlehandedly and shes..... really sarcastic and kind of mean as a person (not to me tho <3) so yeah i. use it a LOT.

What's the first thing you notice about someone? probably their sense of humour. if your sense of humour doesnt jive with mine i will not even attempt to get along with you.

Eye color? deeper grey-blue with a yellowy ring around my pupils

Scary movies or happy endings? i grew up a really shitty cynic about happy endings and predictable movies so i will always take a scary movie over a happy ending

Any talents? ummm i used to be able to sing Not sure that i really can anymore because of what T did to my vocal range. umm. i can draw (YAY) i am good at public speaking when scripted especially. and im very good at making friends :]

Where were you born? some dinky shit city in new zealand. think it got voted most boring city of the year in like 2021.

Hobbies? art, talking to people, playing casual games (sometimes SCARY games)

Any pets? shittass dog (i hate him) (thats a lie) we got him from the shelter like early 2022 and hes been a nightmare ever since <3

Height? YESSIREE! THOUGHT ABT KILLIN MA SELF! /ref (im 5'2)

Favorite school subject? originally it was english/creative writing but i dont really...do that anymore? like thats not an option we get at school anymore for some fucking reason? and i havent done art since like, middle school, so i guess health because its easiest?

imagine me tagging you as like some sort of beast capturing program. @arcaneyouth @alveolion @lycomaniacs @gravellymistaken @relientk optional of course x no pressure

thanks (:

@relientk replied to your post “life hack!: if you yell at your child enough,...”:

@fencesandfrogs I remember saying something similar to my therapist who was like "yeah that's dissociating!" so reading your post was like deja vu. Glad you already have the word for it - knowing what's up helps a ton

​hope you don't mind, tumblr replies were glitching on me.

anyway, yeah! having a word for things is so important. your response was super funny to me because like...yep. target audience reached. the experience was conveyed.

i also appreciate the contribution because dissociation feels extremely underdiscussed so like. yes. go off. i'm lucky enough to have been in therapy since i was but a wee child, and i gotta say, learning to label your own experiences can be very critical.

uh this is super unfocused i'm just VERY pro-people learning words to describe what they're experiencing so i'm going to turn this into a quick lesson. no sources just my own head please no one take a tumblr post too seriously kthx.

dissociation is separating yourself from the current moment. this can range from normal and healthy (zoning out) to a way to cope with stress (going numb in a crisis) to a disorder (depersonalization/derealization) to a disorder[special edition] (dissociative identity disorder).

depersonalization is when you stop feeling like yourself. it's often described as third person mode. you might feel disconnected with your body, out of control of your actions, that sort of thing.

derealization is when the world stops feeling real. things feel fuzzy and dreamlike. it's the "this isn't happening" feeling, where you don't feel like the events around you are really happening.

depersonalization/derealization disorder (DPDR) is a dissociative disorder that involves experiencing both of those. i'm not super familiar with the criteria off the top of my head, but if dissociative symptoms are bothering you, maybe look into it.

dissociative identity disorder and other specified dissociative disorder 1 (did & osdd-1, often written osddid) are an extreme form of dissociation known as structural dissociation. (also in this category are ptsd, cptsd, and bpd.) these form from repeated childhood trauma and a disorganized attachment style.

grounding helps bring you into this moment. there are a lot of techniques, and you may need to experiment. strong sensory experiences (extreme temperatures, intense exercise, strong tastes or scents, loud music, etc.) can be helpful, but so can mindfulness. (note: for some, mindfulness will increase dissociative symptoms. if it works, great! if it doesn't, don't force it.)

everyone dissociates to some extent, so don't panic if you have moments of dissociation. but if it's distressing to you, hopefully this gives you some language to talk about what you're experiencing, as well as the very start of how to cope.
