#admin tired talks

[tmnt-tear-polls]

Are the submissions getting close to closing?

Hey

I'd like to apologize for taking so long

My personal life has been kind of a shitshow ngl.

Nothing horrible that can't be fixed. But atm I don't have the mental energy to host a poll

And that's on me

I'll do the polls. Just not right now. As soon as I get my life together I'll definitely host the tear polls.

We talked about it in the server and honestly if something like this that's meant to be for joy and fun turns into a chore, it's just not right.

Again i apologize

And I'll do my best to get my shit together sjsjsjjs

It's just that at the moment I can't do it

The submissions are gonna be open for now. But hopefully the polls will start soon ^^

Sorry again

I deleted my post about the Pomme figurine. Cause at first I was excited but now idk.

I don’t know with this qsmp stuff and everything coming out with the admins. The 0 communication we have currently (q did state he was going to let us know what was happening to those of you who didn’t know/choose to ignore that) as well as things on the server really do seem to continue as if nothing is missing (my opinion get out of here w/ your rude bs) and proceeding to do QSMP awards when A LOT of your ccs are not returning until things have changed/admins are back.

I have hope for the document and that Q will see it (I doubt it though seeing as apparently people are FLOODING his email about it/other things)

Shits weird and the more and more I see admins dropping like flies, the little bits of hope I have for the project dwindle.

Phil’s pov seems to be the only one I like since he unintentionally donowalled lore happening on the server and is just playing the way he would (ie exploring) so I may just stick with him sometimes.

is there anyone who is in witchy spaces that follows me? I really need to vent to (and to pick the brain of) someone about an interaction I had with people in a facebook group I’m in who refused to acknowledge cultural appropriation (a white person doing paid trainings on hoodoo and stuff) and insisted there is no such thing as a closed practice

[royalarchivist]

I really liked Ramon's idea of filling a tag with cute little things for Fit's birthday, and I was like "Hey, I got a bit of time to spare today, I can whip something up real quick. Surely I don't have THAT many clips of Fit!"

Well...

[shikai-the-storyteller]

I'm still so upset with the way QSMP ended.

[tmnt-crossover-polls]

So I'm shadow banned

Not having the best time rn

Tumblr is taking away my rights to messages not sending notifications for me posting and not showing me in the searchs

Fun thing tho. Trying to find my account i did find another account for tmnt crossover polls that wasn't me. Not fun

Anyways

The next round of polls aren't gonna be up till this is fixed as my posts don't reach anyone unless they see it reblogged and that would be unfair to the competitors

I did report the issue to the support and they said they'd get back to me soon. It's been around 12 hours so I don't know

I'd appreciate it if you interact and comment and reblog more so hopefully Tumblr realizes that I'm not a bot and people actually engage with the account

I'm gonna reblog stuff but you won't get the notifications and notes but if you check my account it's there.

I'd appreciate it if you comment and mention @support and @staf to bring a bit more attention to this.

Not sure what else to do. But please support the current 4 ongoing polls as much as you can and give love to the competitors that didn't deserve this at all

I'm active on the discord server and we're gonna figure out what to do next

I'll see you around you lovely people. Stay amazing

I'm Gonna try to figure this out as soon as i can

HI admin 🎼 here for day 4!! almost forgot to post this today, but i wrote it yesterday while having thoughts about them in the kitchen. this card image isnt entirely accurate, but i couldnt find any other images of them in the kitchen together, so it works i guess! heres a drabble (which turned out slightly longer than id wanted it to!) about kanade being a lesbian

—

Tapping her pen against the table, Kanade can’t concentrate. She can’t think at all, even when she knows the rest of her group is already full of ideas for their next song. She could blame it on the sunlight streaming in through the kitchen window, which she normally doesn’t open the blinds of, but that’s not bothering her all that much, and Honami seems to like it better that way (especially with how lovely the tone of the sky’s light becomes at dusk — Honami had pointed that out to her, and she can’t believe she hadn’t noticed it before). She could blame it on the fact she’s outside at all and not holed up in her bedroom, but Honami (ever-politely) insisted she come outside to do her work, and she doesn’t mind it; she does like making Honami happy, too. Maybe she’s not meant to be writing her ideas down on a notepad? No, probably not — that was Honami’s idea as well. Kanade’s been using the pen and the notepad since Honami gave them to her two months ago. They’ve served her well so far. So has everything else Honami has suggested, or gently pushed her to do, or brought to her home with a shy smile and a reminder that if she doesn’t like it it’s okay and she can give it back, even though she never does.

She glances at the pretty set of plates, neatly laid out on the table, that she’d found in her cupboard months before; the new towel that always smells faintly like apple pie, from Honami’s home, where it was no longer in use; the open blinds in front of Honami. Kanade stares at her, and briefly, she wonders how Honami must look to someone not tragically forced to only stare at her back. Strands of light shining on her softly smiling face as she hums, chopping something, as though it’s the only thing in the world she needs to do…

Kanade blinks, and quickly looks down at her blank notepad. The stray, traitorous thought that her one distraction is right in front of her passes through her mind. She shoves it down with the nagging thought that she needs to do her work. Then, she looks back up at her housekeeper, wondering how strong her arms must be. Stronger than hers, strong enough to chop carrots, although that probably wasn’t a high bar. But they were certainly strong from years of playing the drums-

Honami suddenly turns to face her, brows furrowed in worry, and Kanade flinches a little. She doesn’t notice. “Ms. Yoisaki,” she says hurriedly, “you do like carrots, right? I’m sorry, I only just remembered to ask you if you did, I know I should have beforehand, but I’ve already chopped almost all these…”

Oddly, Kanade feels a smile trying to make its way onto her face. She tries her best to force it away. “No,” she says. “I like them.”

“Oh.” Honami smiles in relief. “I’m glad,” she says, before turning around again to chop the last carrot. Kanade rests her head on her palm and just watches her for the little time she has before she’s done cooking.

me vs my need to make a ship name out of everything

[red-leader-langfeldt]

|| I am very insane about keeping my characters in-character but at the same time I am trying desperately to keep this whole thing lighthearted and silly 😭 but like some of these M!As I’m getting are genuinely impossible to answer in-character if I’m trying to AVOID stress. Guys I just wanna have a fun time 😭 I’m begging you leave Tord alone and let me answer things in-character without CHANGING his character I am so tired I want to have fun with this and NOT have it be another stressful part of my life 😭

[tmnt-tear-polls]

who are you placing your bets on?

And which do you think are the most interesting?

Oh that's a tough question

I don't have any bets. I haven't actually read everything and besides we don't know which stories are gonna be in the competition (stuff submitted by other people)

Cass apocalypse series by @somerandomdudelmao has been submitted by other people (not the creator themself) so like if they do want to participate that's a BIG candidate

Ghost in ronin's DMs and basically the whole ghost on the server au (home,ghost on the server, DMs, how to save a ghost) by @amevello-blue , @melonpalooza and then @just-a-lil-turtle-with-knives for the final has also been submitted and GOSH THAT HURTS MY SOUL

and there are SO MANY STUFF THAT I HAVEN'T READ YET

I'm currently reading post hoc by @posthocpaganda and it's hurting my soul /pos

But get emotional with everything. Just give me pure happy fluff and I'll find something to get emotional about.

But I'm not saying other stuff don't have a chance to win. If i learned ONE thing with the crossover polls was that there are sooooo many factors in who goes to the next round.

And i know the authors of some of the stuff and they hurt my soul (/pos) enough to get the winning prize

So I honestly don't have a bet

I will use this moment to tell you to definitely go read post hoc if you've watched house MD. I'm only on season one but that's enough. This is hurting my soul so much

A reminder that as the poll master I'd treat every competitor equally and that is very obvious.

Just like with the crossover polls i obviously have some favorites (wedding bells my beloved) that I would've personally made propaganda for if i wasn't the poll master.

I care about keeping things fair and equal and never want anyone to feel like i show any favoritism. Ever

These AUs i picked were only because the names caught my attention because i already know/cry over the AUs. They don't mean I'd show any favoritism and you can bet on that.

Besides the submissions are still open so yayyyy so many more AUs to cry over. And who knows maybe the winner isn't even submitted yet.

The point of this competition isn't that which story is the best or saddest. Treat is an archive with a list of AUs with loads of propaganda and excitement. The results of polls will NOT determine your story's worth. There are so many factors like popularity and community and the number of friends you've made in the fandom, if you want to go for a tie or not. And many other things. And having or not having those things are NOT a criteria of how good your work actually is.

(Def coming from someone who has an au lost on the first round of the @turtle-tot-tournament so i have the first hand experience of feeling like my au sucks because it lost even tho that's obviously not the case)

On another note. The submissions aren't that many yet (rip) and i know that's mostly on me not actually making a lot of posts about this and making sure authors/artists see it (sorry about that) but it'd be super appreciated if you submit your stuff/stuff you like or send these to people who'd be interested in it.

I know I haven't given a date for when the submissions are gonna be closed. Mostly because my life is pretty hectic at this moment and I'd like to start the competition after it's over (probably in a week or two I'll know if i got accepted to uni or not and that will determine my next 4-5 years so...)

But if you'd like to know more about the polls and talk to me directly

We have a discord server you can join

It's already an active server with the crossover polls fam. Welcoming both competitors and anyone else who just wants to vibe with us. We got movie nights and games and silly funny qotd

Annnnnd i got super off topic didn't i

Wellp i think i answered the ask a long time ago... So yeah have fun submitting

[supercantaloupe]

[spaghett-onaplate]

[sansbydaily]

Having a birthday during the start of the academic year kind of sucks because instead of actually doing things I enjoy to prepare for it, I'm up at 1 in the morning studying for a class I don't even remember the reason for taking
