🌟 New

On web, you can now navigate away from your current feed (Dashboard, searches, tags, and more) without worrying about losing your spot when returning via your browser’s back and forward buttons.

Communities now include helpful tooltips to point out features that are new to you.

Community admins can now generate invite links, which will allow new members to join (until the population limit is reached). The link can be refreshed if it accidentally goes out to the wrong place, invalidating old invite links. Send them to a friend, post them to your blog, write them on a postcard, print them on business cards, the options are endless!

Community admins can now remove community members. There’s an option in the meatball menu in the members list.

Community admins will now receive a push notification and activity item when their requested community has been approved.

Community members will now receive a push notification and activity item when they’re promoted to (or demoted from) moderator.

The Android app’s post editor now has an improved blog picker that includes communities, so you can post directly to them quickly.

🛠 Fixed

Privacy Data exports were failing to generate for some users. This has now been fixed, and all failed exports are being regenerated.

“Post to another blog or community” no longer appears every time you start a new post.

Logged out users were briefly not able to view public communities. This has now been fixed.

Community notifications were briefly not dismissible. This has now been fixed.

The community invite box has received clarity improvements.

A handful of push notifications have received clarity improvements.

Avatars on bundled activity items have been repositioned, which does indeed improve clarity.

🚧 Ongoing

No ongoing incidents to speak of right now.

🌱 Upcoming

Community admins will soon be able to ban community members entirely.

Don’t Fuck with Dad

A platonic Tim! X Reader

T.W. : Mentions of blood and violence, reader is really tired and just needs a break, slender is kinda a bitch tbh, Jeff is a bitch, fighting, kinda angsty? Not proof read :/

Summary : Mission after mission, you’re exhausted. You haven’t had a break in weeks and you’re constantly on the go. When you finally do get a moment of peace, someone ruins it.

You open your eyes, the rising sun visible through your windows. Half asleep, you throw your arm over and slam it down on your phone, the alarm too loud. What time was it? Fuck, what day was it? You let out a loud groan, taking a few deep breaths.

You hadn’t had a break in weeks. The Slenderman giving you missions every night, not to mention the shit load of paperwork that came with it. Most of the missions had been a bitch too, difficult missions that typically took multiple proxies. Normally, you, Kate, and Cody would work as a team, but occasionally it would be changed. Sometimes you were alone, sometimes with only one partner, sometimes two. The missions you had been given recently needed multiple people, and yet here you were, slaving away.

Throwing your legs off the bed, you hissed at the cold floor. Yawning, you began the morning ritual, grabbing a hoodie off the floor and you’re phone, you made your way downstairs for coffee. Glancing at the bright screen, it was Tuesday, July 16th. No mission today, just had to finish up some paperwork. Once you were done, you made a mental plan to take a hot shower, get in the comfiest clothes you could find, and watch a comfort movie. Downstairs, Tim and Brian stood by the island, acknowledging your presence.

“Mornin’ kiddo,” Brian spoke first, “you look rough, Whatcha’ doing up so early?” “I have a shit load of paperwork today,” you groaned, shuffling toward the coffee machine.

“Ohhhhh, day off huh?” Brian smiled. He knew that you had been slammed recently, silently questioning Slender on why he was giving you so much.

“Yeah, finally,” you yawned, sitting at the island with the two. They were here long before you, they knew what it was like to have something every single damn day. It was exhausting, and you were running on such little sleep. Bags heavy under your eyes, you took a sip of the drink and sighed.

“Hey, I’ll catch you later, k? I’ve got to head out, mission two towns over. Gotta’ set up some cameras or something,” Brian said, getting up and waving as he walked away. That left just you and Tim in the kitchen.

For a little while, silence. You and Tim had an understanding, being a proxy sucked and was tiring beyond belief. But Tim had his own opinions, you were just a kid. He knew the kind of missions you had recently been on, violent missions. He knew you had killed a lot recently, and the paper work with it was insane.

“Leave your paperwork in my office, I’ll get it done,” Tim spoke, leaving no room for debate.

You looked to him, confusion ever present, “It’s my work, I can do it ya’ know?”

“I’m well aware kiddo,” and with that, silence. You didn’t ask for this, any of this. The stalking, killing, everything. You didn’t deserve to be dragged into this mess, you were at the wrong place in the wrong time. Tim didn’t know what it was, but he felt a connection to you. He was protective, he wanted the best for you, he wanted you to be happy. But most of all, he was proud of you.

“Thank you, I really appreciate it,” you mumbled.”

“The back to back for weeks on end is hard. It’s the least I can do for ya’,” Tim took another sip of his coffee. You nodded, getting up and making your way to your room. Passing Eyeless Jack on the way back, you smiled and waved. You and the demon actually got along really well, you spent lots of the little free time you had in the lab, learning from him. Anything from anatomy to some chemicals, you learned a lot of Jack. He waved back at you, offering a visit and teaching session later if you weren’t busy. You gave him a maybe, explaining how busy you’ve been recently. He understood, and then continued on to wherever he was going.

You made it to your room, grabbing the large stacks of paper. You felt awful giving it to Tim, but he didn’t exactly leave much room for debate. You made your way to his and Brian’s office. Walking over to Tim’s desk, the large stacks of paper on his desk ever present. Jeez, you felt terrible giving him all this.

“Just set it down,” it was Brian, standing at the door. He made his way past you and grabbed a file off his desk, “trust me. That guy would do any amount of paper work for you.”

“But he already has so much, I don’t want to just add more on,” you looked to him, a sad look in your eyes. It made his heart melt, you really hated to do this.

“Set them down and get some rest, you need it. And Tim agrees, plus he would much rather you go have fun with EJ or Nina or someone, not sit and do paperwork,” you sat the paper down, looking away from him and to a framed photo t on Tim’s desk. It was you and him, the first mission you two had together.

“Let me tell you,” Brian started, slowly making his way toward the door, “Tim would kill a man for you. He cares about you like your his own kid, so just let him take all this,” and with that, Brian made his way out. You smiled, following him out the door. You wanted to get back to your room, take a nice hot shower, and maybe go hangout with EJ. Turning a hallway, you bumped into someone.

“Hey-! Fucking, watch it!” It was Jeff, of course. Nobody else would be this loud in the morning.

“Fucking move, prick,” you mumbled, shoving your way past him. It’s not that you and Jeff didn’t get along, you just wouldn’t hang out with him at all.

“Excuse me? Want to say that again?!” Jeff’s volume rose as he grabbed you shirt and threw you against the wall.

“You stupid bitch,” glaring at him, you gathered yourself and tried to walk away. It was way too early to deal with his shit.

“Oh hell no, you aren’t fucking walking away-“ Jeff was cut off, a firm hand placed on his shoulder. He whipped around, only to find Tim standing there.

“Fuck you think you’re doing?” Tim asked, voice low.

“This little bitch started it-“ Jeff didn’t get to finish before Tim punched him square in the nose. You stood back in awe, watching the two.

“Better go see Jack, wouldn’t want to get blood everywhere,” Tim shoved Jeff in the direction of the medical lab, giving him a solid middle finger. Jeff grunted and walked off, holding his nose.

“You good?” He turned to you.

“Uhh, yeah.”

“He ever bothers you again, just come find me, ok?”

“Uhh, right, yes sir,” you looked at him, not many words forming. What the hell were you supposed to say? Oh yeah, thanks for breaking Jeff’s nose for me dad.

“Go, shower. You stink,” Tim turned and walked off. You caught a glimpse of a small smirk on his face and you smiled back. “Whatever old man.”

[phandomgiftexchange]

Hello everyone! The sign-ups for the Summer 2024 Phandom Gift Exchange are open!

This event is a gift exchange where people create a phanwork for who they are assigned; you don’t know who will be creating your gift, but you can be assured that their talents will match up to your requests!

How to Sign Up

The grand majority of people participating will be gifting a phandom work to another, therefore, you all will be gifters. The person you will be gifting for will (probably) not also be the person gifting for you. If you’re just on Tumblr, choose the Tumblr group. If you’re on Twitter or on both platforms, choose the Twitter or either option! On the form, you’ll choose what kind of gifts you’d like and genres/tropes/themes/etc. you enjoy. You’re also free to provide some more specific prompts. Sign-ups to be a gifter will close Wednesday, June 12th at 11:59 PM.

The gifter sign-up form is here!

If creating something might not be your thing, but you'd still like to participate in some capacity, you might be interested in being a beta! Betas assist gifters (especially fic writers) with their gifts. If you're interested, send an ask or contact @husbants! We’ll put you on our email list and invite you to the Discord server so that you can chat and find beta work there.

Timeline

Tuesday, May 28th: Sign-ups go out

Wednesday, June 12th: Sign-up closes

Friday, June 14th - Sunday, June 16th: Pairings go out

Saturday, June 29th: Check-in Goes out

Thursday, July 4th: Check-in closes, pinch-hitters contacted soon after

Saturday, July 13th: Posting Day!

More Details

The gifting assignments will not be random. The admins (@husbants and @ttlmt) will be matching up each gifter with a partner based on the gifter’s self-identified skills and the partner’s likes and prompts.

There will be separate under-18 and 18-and-older groups (if we have anyone under 18, that is; it hasn't happened the past several rounds). A gifter will only be considered to gift for people within their age group. A gifter will also only be considered to gift for people within whichever platform group they choose.

We will be communicating through Tumblr/Twitter DMs and email. There will also be a Discord (the link will be sent through email when assignments go out) and we’ll post updates and announcements there, too. Make sure your DMs are open so that we can contact you, you’re checking this blog or the Twitter account, and you’re checking your email during the event!

When the gifters post their gifts on July 13th, they should tag both this account/the Twitter account and their partner on the post. This blog will reblog everyone in the Tumblr group’s posts. Our Twitter will retweet everyone in the Twitter group’s posts. There will be an email sent out with more information about posting closer to July 13th.

We’re really hoping this doesn’t happen, but if you are assigned to someone you have blocked or have any sort of issue with, contact one of the admins and we can switch around our own assignments or talk to someone signed up as a pinch-hitter and deal with it. If you know you definitely couldn’t gift for someone, you can also specify this on your sign-up form.

In Conclusion

We hope this event will spread some joy throughout the phandom! Thank you so much for your interest and it would be great if you could reblog and spread the word. If you have any questions, feel free to DM @husbants or send an ask!

I’ll be reblogging folks work until the end of August, so if you’re late, no worries, still bring what you have when you can.

Please tag appropriately, even if that means you’re simply stating you’re not going to tag anything. (This is mainly for fic writers.)

Use #bbrarepairbash2024 so others can find your work. Tag me @/hollowed-hallowed and/or @/bbtvducollection, so I can make sure I reblog your creations. If there’s enough interest, I’ll start a collection on AO3.

Drop me a message or ask if you have any questions. I’ll see you all in July!

MEDIEVAL WOMEN APPRECIATION WEEK

I want medieval women to get some love so I’ve created this dedicated week to appreciate the ladies of the Middle Ages. If you want to participate, please use the hashtag #medievalwomenweek.

First, some ground rules: I’m defining “Middle Ages” as anything from the fall of the Western Roman Empire to, roughly, the mid-16th century (so yes, that means you can include women who lived in the early decades of the 1500s; but don’t go crazy, okay—if you pass 1550, you’ve gone too far). You can make any kind of edits you’d like and you can interpret each day any way you’d like. And don’t stress if you don’t post exactly on-time; I’ll still reblog it even if it’s late (or early). Now, onto the days…

Day 1: Sunday, 7th July — Favorite Queen or Queen-adjacent (regnant, consort, regent; “Queen-adjacent” means a woman who ruled over, for example, a Duchy [or other type of territory] so was sort of like a Queen, but didn’t have the title of Queen)

Day 2: Monday, 8th July — Favorite non-Queen or Queen-adjacent royal woman

Day 3: Tuesday, 9th July — Favorite royal mistress (yes, you can still count women who later married their royal lover)

Day 4: Wednesday, 10th July — Favorite non-royal woman (or group of women if there isn’t one specific woman)

Day 5: Thursday, 11th July — Favorite woman writer

Day 6: Friday, 12th July — Favorite fictional medieval woman (example: women from Arthurian legends, Maid Marion, a fictional character from a novel, movie, or TV series set in the Middle Ages)

Day 7: Saturday, 13th July — free day!

Tuesday, March 30th. On the anniversary of his father's death, Tim came home.

(Batman Annual #4 2019)

Now, this date doesn't make an enormous amount of sense in terms of an in-universe date, given that the 18 months or so of comics leading into Identity Crisis are signposted with Tim's 16th birthday on 19 July in Robin #116, and Jason's 18th birthday on 16 August in Detective Comics #790. So you'd think the one-two of War Games and Identity Crisis probably occurred in September, matching the new school year for Tim. Comics time moves slowly.

However, if I look at it as a comic that, say, Silver might have recently read when drafting Red Letter Day.... (grins)

Yeah guess what I've been rereading recently.
