ok to rb if you wanna talk in the tags and help get more votes

[metalcorebarbie]

ok, show me your icon for the mishapocalypse and your dress for the tumblr prom 🥰

Wait do you want like evidence? Because I don’t have any, I wasn’t here back then. This blog was only made in 2015 sdfhjnj.

[chasingfictions]

yellowjackets tumblrina au that's just everyone doxxing each other ... like we've all seen the jackieshauna catfishing post and this is true. if we extrapolate ... shauna catfishes jackie then jackie finds out and catfishes her back then they both dox each other. misty doxes everyone because no one invites her to tumblr prom. lottienat are girlmutuals until nat blocks lottie and then they meet in real life and start fucking, unaware that they are in fact blocked ex-mutuals. laura lee's blog gets hacked and she vanishes from the web. van and taissa everyone thinks are just tumblrinas who are really obsessed with each other but turns out no they are legit long distance dating for real and one day they will get married and post their wedding pictures on tumblr. mari sends anon hate but forgets to click anon. akilah stands by her cancelled wife even though all her mutuals have mari blocked. crystal gets deactivated. to be clear this occurs in 2012.

Sweet Beginnings Tag

This tag is all about looking at your past. All you need to do is to find one of the first screenshots you ever took (preferably also published), and post it beside the recent one! And tell everybody when you took that first picture! Oh, and don’t forget to tag your posts! #sweet beginnings tag.

Thank you @hancyan, @greenplumbboblover, @nocturnalazure and @eljeebee for tagging me in this.

I have to be honest though, seeing this Sweet Beginnings Tag going round has been bringing out my insecurities. I see people posting their 2010's stuff saying "Eww!", "Cringe!", "OMG, look at this puddingface!", "The lighting is horrible!" and "What was I thinking with that camera angle?!" Meanwhile I'm sitting here looking at these pictures they deem to be such an embarrassment and all I think is "Umm, that's better than what I currently do... So if that's all so disgusting, what does that say about (your opinion on) my stuff?"

But I will play! I love looking back! I know what everyone is expecting is a huge difference between a Sim created in the 2010s and one created now, but guess what, peeps; the Sims that were the centre of my Sim-universe back then are the same ones still going strong today. I stick with my babies foreverrrrr. I also will not say, "Oh, look what an embarrassment I was back then." What I will say, though, is there was a time when I didn't know turning off headline effects was an option. See for yourself:

September 2012

This is The Prom of 03, one of the first (non-)story posts. We see Dan and James, still the best cousin-friends ever, talking after James had just publicly broken up with Jill.

At that point, I posted to my WordPress blog and to The Sims Daily (I know I keep commenting this on everyone's posts, but I soooo miss the awesome atmosphere of the forums and to my darlings from the TSD days: I MISS YOU! I MISS US!).

However, aside from the picture above, I also managed to shoot the picture below by NOT posing anyone and just clicking at the right time. For the early days, that's quite the skill, I think! Especially when you realise I also didn't know how to use the tab camera mode yet.

September 2012

This is Ellie's mum Annabel meeting teacher Eva on Ellie's very first day of school. With Ellie standing by. Just using in-game interactions (not even Animator).

In April 2013, I came to Tumblr. At first, I mainly reblogged posts by my Daily friends and posted pictures of Honeycomb Valley and interiors. I feel tempted to reblog one of those full posts now. Should I?

After a few months, I started posting links to my (non-)stories on my blog, accompanied by some pictures to get a taste of the story and hopefully lure people to my WordPress blog. Funnily enough, one of those first pictures is my darling Sadie singing, which is the same thing I photographed today! :)

June 2013

Fun fact: This is the karaoke performance which landed Sadie her place as The Hot Wings female lead! Oh, how this moment would end up changing her life... Neither her nor me knew just how much by that point. Makes me all nostalgic to see her like this again.

By this point, I did know how to turn off headline effects and how to work the camera in tab mode, which already made a difference.

Unto the current stuff. Well, my absolute proudest pictures are these:

August 2023

Particularly because of the emotions they portray. Which were so on point for the story they were telling. Aww, my Joshua <3.

A lot of the credit for these goes to the pose creators though. In particularly @danjaley for her railing poses.

I will also share Singing Sadie again, even though I've shared this picture two times already, but I figured it would be fun to see in this post to compare her (and me) to the picture above.

October 2023

I do think I've grown over the years. No, I know I did. And I know even my current stuff isn't as shiny and polished and perfect as a lot of other stuff out there, but these are my babies and I love them just the way they are. :)

Tagging @simsaralove, @ice-creamforbreakfast, @wasset-aseskara, @missy-hissy, @danjaley. But feel free to ignore if you've already done this or simply don't feel like it.

AU - Canon Divergence (2) Masterlist

part one

a night to remember (ao3) - calvinahobbes

Summary: Why did he think going anywhere alone would be a good idea? And to an honest to god queer prom for sad grown-ups who missed out the first time around because they were too busy being closeted.

Bittersweet (ao3) - heylazeh

Summary: “Do you believe that there's another world at the other side of the mirror where everyone is opposite?”

“No.”

“Watch out"

dan and philly's wet moments (ao3) - heartsopenminds

Summary: Phil loathes hiring people to come and fix stuff around the house - he never imagined that watching someone power washing a patio could be so much fun though.

dan is not a pianist (ao3) - Marranje

Summary: How Phil went from watching the pianist and youtuber Dan from afar to being by his side through the most important moments of their lives.

Disturb the Universe (ao3) - iihappydaysii

Summary: Dan and Phil are a successful YouTube duo, best friends and next door neighbors. Phil's married with two kids and Dan's long term boyfriend is like the queen's cousin or something. Their lives are fine--perfectly acceptable--but when two unrelated emergencies land Dan and Phil living together for the first time since 2012, they're forced to examine the choices they've made and confront the feelings they've kept quiet for nearly a decade.

Drips Through (ao3) - artbabe

Summary: Dan goes outside to smoke at a party. Phil joins him.

drop your heart I'll save it for you (ao3) - Anonymous

Summary: Tenderness isn't part of the deal, nor are soft words, or feelings, or kisses that don't lead to fucking. It's not what Dan asked for, and it's certainly not why someone would choose to fuck their friend slash flatmate slash colleague who they absolutely don’t have any feelings for.

Equilibrium (ao3) - phan_anon

Summary: It's 2016, and Omega!Dan doesn't need an Alpha to be happy, thank you very much. He's quite content living with best friend, flat mate, business partner, co-author, ex-boyfriend, and occasional lover, Beta!Phil. Quite content, that is, until an unplanned pregnancy disturbs the comfortable equilibrium they've established over the years...

from up here you can't beat the view (just watch me now) (ao3) - kishere, maybeformepersonally

Summary: It's 2009 and Dan finds Phil on the internet when a well-meaning mate of his recommends him to a certain site she likes. Dan quickly becomes a fan: watching Phil's videos religiously and interacting with him on his socials. And, soon enough, Phil starts noticing him.

A familiar enough story on the surface but here's the catch: Phil has never been involved with YouTube.

Phil is a camboy.

Guilty Pleasure (ao3) - ThoughtaThought

Summary: Dan and Phil meet at a BDSM club and decide to play. Dan is a rigger and a masochist. Phil is a sadist and a rope bunny. It’s perfect.

hard launch at last (ao3) - calvinahobbes

Summary: “Maybe the exact right moment won’t ever present itself.” Dan can feel himself hurtling towards some cosmic revelation as they stand here on a sandy beach in Portugal, the ocean bringing out the blue in Phil’s eyes.

I try to picture me without you but I can't (ao3) - Anonymous

Summary: After Dan's tragic death, Phil starts having a bunch of strange dreams where he is still alive. But are they really just dreams?

Or: Phil's s̶o̶u̶l̶ consciousness can't cope with Dan's death, so he starts hopping between different universes to look for him.

more than convenient (ao3) - baroquen

Summary: Based on a Tumblr post.

In which Dan keeps seeing Phil as the closest profile on Grindr and finally says "fuck it."

(Except it's very sappy)

nylon is for delicate work (ao3) - Anonymous

Summary: A forensic linguist meets a lawyer in Rawtenstall.

re: the apple store guy...IT ALL WORKED OUT! (ao3) - strange_highs_and_strange_lowss

Summary: Based on a craiglist "best of" posting. Apple Store customers Dan and Phil frequent the "missed communications" page. The world's most coincidental first date follows.

rocks wishing to be clouds (ao3) - catboyhowell (bloodyscarab) (ao3) - pinkseason

Summary: i'm a loose bolt of a complete machine. what a match, i'm half-doomed, and you're semi-sweet. - a story about kidnapper voicemails, habitual insecurity, and conversations within conversations.

Tried to do headstands for you (every time I fell on you) (ao3) - popsongnation

Summary: “I’m not always this clumsy and accident prone, I swear,” Dan says, and maybe he’s lying, but Phil doesn’t have to know that. How hard can it be not to injure yourself at a coffee shop? He just needs to remember which way the doors open, and buy new shoes. He’ll be fine.

Or: coffee shop/uni AU in which Dan keeps injuring himself in increasingly ridiculous ways, Phil regularly has to patch him up, and it’s Christmas time.

Two Man Team (ao3) - Nefertiti1052 (Succubusphan)

Summary: This is the story of two struggling friends who after many trials and tribulations find their way back to each other and build the life they've always dreamed of.

Or how Phil changed his life by talking to random strangers on the internet.

fic request/rules masterpost!!

i figure i should probably list out what i will/won't write and other guidelines, as well as organize all my fics so check them out under the cut ⬇⬇

requests: CLOSED

ALSO i think i've decided to write mostly sfw...just bc it's tumblr lol so if you want to check out more of my nsfw fics, head over to my ao3!!

‘leave the door open’ is my fic series on there that gets more 18+ around part 6 so if ur a minor pls use caution, and i would prefer not to interact with minors on here about it?? i’m usually p good about tagging stuff on tumblr and ao3 so just be aware..

if u feel uncomfortable interacting with me bc of my age (26) and the fact that i write nsfw sometimes (all the characters are adults in those fics) feel free to block/unfollow/etc…i want this to be as safe a space as possible!

i'm still figuring out everything so these may change/be updated periodically...

WILL DO:

romance, fluff, humor, hurt/comfort, etc.

x reader fics (human, mutant, yokai, etc.)

headcanons/imagines (shorter and easier to write than full-length fics lol)

i prefer to do GN!reader (for the sake of keeping it gender neutral and also for my own comfort)

fic exchanges/gift fics...👀👀

rottmnt, 2012 tmnt, bayverse

i’m pretty comfortable writing most characters (the turts, april, etc.) but feel free to ask abt others!

WON'T DO:

AUs (this is a soft no, i’d be fine doing future/kraang invasion timeline stuff tho)

familial readers (sorry, this is just a personal preference thing…🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️)

OC or canon x canon

intense angst/whump fics

tc3st

if u send me a fic request, please be as detailed/specific as possible (what kind of fic, plot, character traits, personalities, etc.)

it might take me anywhere from a couple of days to a few weeks to complete a request (depending on the length and how busy i am) 🥴🤙

if for whatever reason i don’t think ur fic request aligns with my rules/guidelines, i probably just won’t do it. i unfortunately can’t write every request i get…sorry!!

also if anybody makes fanart i think i would die from happiness

FICS:

raphael:

stakeout (part 1 of 'leave the door open') 2 fast 2 furriest (part 2 of 'leave the door open') prom (red edition) a view to a thrill relax

mikey:

HEADCANONS:

siblings!! (platonic turtles x younger sibling reader) plus-size reader headcanons (separate romantic 2012!turtles x GN! reader) cereal headcanons (not 'x reader' just stupid hcs about how the turtles eat cereal lol)

feel free to shoot me an ask if you have any questions about these rules!! i love writing and interacting with u guys 💖💖💖💖

[candyredterezii]

Nooo I was busy playing Maplestory as a kid cause I had very bad Internet and a bad computer so I was like "oh boy 2d sprites? I'm in!" and I committed some minor credit card theft to pay for online cosmetics and such, you know, the usual. Got "hacked" by a "social engineer" by which I mean an obvious hacker pretending to be a girl who had moved to my city (after I said what it was) and to my school (after I said which) and wanted to be my GF (despite never seeing me and only knowing me for 5 minutes) and then asking me for my password and username and guilting me in to it.

I did spend a lot of time online doing therapy. Not receiving, giving, I was an "old soul" even as a like, 11 year old, marriage counselling training beyond my tender years

i rmbr seeing maplestory but never got into it

also i asked my parents for money and whenever i got money i rmbr buying fucking. gaia cash cards. at the STORE. i still fucking have those damn cards, too. they're tucked away in a lil box I keep a lot of keepsakes from the 2007-2012 era

I rmbr when I first joined Gaia they were doing Gaia Prom ... I'm sure it was before the Tumblr Prom shit too now I think about it. Crazy!

Actually this is reminding me I used to do 'avi art' for like. 2k gold at the time too. This was my first ever doing commissions ... and it was going in the Gaia Forums and offer art for a measly like. 2k gold.

And this was art done by a 5th grader on copy paper using a pencil and colored with colored pencils. and then taken a picture of with a mid 2000s camera with shitty lighting and unstable handling.

in fact, here's an example of the kind of art you'd get! This was my gaia avi at the time! :)

here is a screenshot for reference (Kyubi was my best friend of years at the time Emma I met on Gaia. We are still friends on Facebook! :) )

[ejacutastic]

wow u were on tumblr in 2012??? what was it like????

I'm bad at timelines so hopefully I'm not too off point with time. probably bleeding into 2013+ and shit here. I was like 17/18 and from my perspective most of the humor and everything I remember was generally "edgier" and more cruel then. there were regularly anonymous burn blogs that would turn up where people would reveal cruel thoughts or truths about popular bloggers which evolved into nudes blogs where people were posting popular bloggers' nude photos without their permission. which tbf curated dashboard etc and I was definitely a shitty teenager then. never participated in those burn/nude blogs though.

there was also tumblr prom around that time which I always thought was kinda dumb ngl but I also thought regular prom was dumb because I was Too Cool. also lots of "if this gets to x notes I will do y" posts and a lot of reaction gifs. a lot of stock images used as reactions too.

on the other side, I also had a lot more actual interactions with people. I'd get multiple asks all the time and we'd have like video group chats and people would meet up irl and hang out. I only met one person irl lol but lots of meet-up photos were shared. there was also a huge craze with that one site where you could like go to a virtual dance floor? basically and everyone could submit music to the playlist so you could just share music with friends. that site rocked.

#as a user with 10+ years on tumblr im oblidged to add shit i remember to tags only (mayb ill do a comment if i can recall these better)#homestuck fandom had so much deep rooted tumblr history#like people were upset that it wasnt on the same level as superwholock and there would be comics about homestuck fandom being sad isolated#only to be comforted by the hetalia fandom or whatever else was popular around the time of posting (shows like hannibal or serenity)#speaking of homestuck fandom there was jake the cosplay elitist who would be a prick to people to the point where everyone made fun of him#andrew hussie keeping his ask box open and quitting tumblr after 'IM FEELING CAUCASIAN' which got turned to 'peachy'#the fucking fluffy chicken note magnet where a user said their mum would buy them a silkie if they got dozens of notes#which promptly became the rep icon of dashcon when it was being conceived initially#uhhhh tumblr prom tumblrstuck. the thwompz#OH YEAH and facade being a big thing in 2012 for some reason?

I really can’t believe I’ve been on this hell site for 8 years

[shepswrath]

Me to Search Engines; hey i need like any clothing inspired by kind of cheap campy sci fi from like the 80s to 2000s with like. Assymetry and mesh. Do you have that.

Search Engines; Hey! Want a shien product ripped directly off another person's listing that is best described as "somewhere in between 2014 tumblr style and pinterest boards for a fantasy YA series you sort of liked when you were 8." Or just a normal prom dress with like. One shoulder off? You piece of shit??

Me to Crochet Artists; hey

Woman from 2012 I've never met; listen closely and take notes. I'm going to give you the instructions for the most gorgeous and simultaneously godawful top you'll ever see. It'll be exactly what you want. I will never post after this again and no one will know where I went. I love you
