[GD by @aromanticreigen : A set of five GIFs showcasing events that took place on Tumblr during 2022. They show headlines with a GIF in the background.

GIF 1: An article title reads “The Fake Scorsese Film You Haven’t Seen. Or Have You?”. The subtitle reads “Tumblr is obsessed with the mafia film “Goncharov”. The problem is it isn’t real.” Behind the headline is a supposed GIF of the movie, showing someone holding a pocket watch.

GIF 2: An article title reads “2022: the year that the Queen died”. The subtitle reads “Following the death of Queen Eizabeth II, the UK entered an official 10-day period of mourning. One journalist - a staunch Republican - recounts what he saw.” The GIF behind the headline is from “Megamind”. A man in a superhero suit says “There is no Queen of England!”.

GIF 3: A CGI horse falls through a plinko machine with a flaming horse in the background. On top of the GIF is spaced out text in all caps which reads “You wouldn’t plinko a horse”.

GIF 4: Andrew Tate smokes a cigar, with pizza boxes lying in front of him. On top of the GIF is a tweet from Greta Thunberg and a headline. The tweet reads “this is what happens when you don’t recycle your pizza boxes”. The title of the article reads “Greta Thunberg mocks Andrew Tate after virtually getting him arrested in Romania”. The subtitle reads “Greta Thunberg sure is enjoying Andrew Tate’s arrest in Romania”.

GIF 5: The Destiel confession scene from Supernatural. Misha Collins, who plays Castiel, tearfully says something. On top of him is a Tumblr page for hidden content due to potentially suggestive or explicit content. On top of that is an article headline. The title reads “The Tumblr Tag Ban and the War on #girl”. Subtitle reads “The social media platform stepped in it again following an Apple update that censored a bizarre array of tags.”

GIF 6: Elon Musk is talking. On top of him is two tweets from him and a headline. The first tweet reads “Should I step down as head of Twitter? I will abide by the results of this poll.” The results show that a majority of people voted yes to him stepping down. His second tweet reads “Going forward, any Twitter handles engaging in impersonation without clearly specifying “parody” will be permanently suspended”. The headline reads “Twitter is Dying, And I Don’t Feel So Good Myself”.

GIF 7: Ed and Stede from Our Flag Means Death” kiss. On top is an image of Live Slug Reaction. A slug-like alien has a neutral expression with text above it reading “Live Slug Reaction”. An article title reads “This obscure ‘Star Wars’ character is suddenly a queer reaction meme”. The subtitle reads “The ‘Rise of Skywalker’ alien Klaud is going viral thanks to a joke about the franchise’s first same-sex kiss.” End GD]

Alicent based on this post about Modest!Alicent by @dirtytransmasc

Details under the cut

-I was obsessed with the veiled pieces that OP mentioned and I loved the image of her in gold veils that looked like she was dripping in gold.

- The veils are based on Catholic veils (specifically and 4), medieval head coverings like ones worn in Ophelia 2018 and wimples (2 and 6), Star Wars (5), and the Tudor period (7). Most of them are sheer because one, I couldn’t figure out how to wrap them around her head without her looking like a blob of color and when it did look okay she looked like she was wearing a hijab and it felt too appropriative to draw on Alicent. This is also why her hair is visible in most of them but in practice she would cover them with thicker fabric.

- Alicent wears long billowing sleeves with heavy skirts. OP said that Alicent would wear dresses that conceal her figure which I tried to maintain but some have a shapelier silhouette as it looked better with my art style. I hope one day I will be able to draw modest clothing without making someone look like a blob but I’m not there yet.

- Dress 1 is inspired by the series Isabel 2011, which from what I’ve seen has some nice costumes. It also gave me a good base for something historical and modest but still luxurious.

- The second is based on Lady Macbeth and Ophelia in the Ophelia movie. I debated on adding braids but I think Alicent would’ve worn them. They’re neat, mature, and somewhat conservative hairstyle while also giving her an opportunity to wear more accessories which is expected of her as a queen. I know OP said modest but irl royalty had to wear extravagant clothes to prove their status and with the pressure of civil war and being the second wife, Alicent would certainly wear luxurious jewelry while staying simple compared to the rest of the Targaryens. The beads are Targ inspired as she would also need to embrace Valeryian styles to stay in Viserys’s favor.

- This side view of Alicent has the deepest neckline because that is what worked best for a side view. I also noticed Catholic veils tended to have patterns so I added simple gold flowers. The dress is medieval based.

- What sparked my artistic interest was OP’s descriptions of the veils so I had to do a dedicated work with a veil in the spotlight. In the original post, it was mentioned that Alicent would wear shawls with tapestry like designs. I couldn’t think of anything that would look good with fabric folds and creases but on a lace veil? I could definitely do that. Tbh it’s not my favorite design (Helaena’s was my favorite) but I think it represents Alicent’s loyalties pretty well. I’m personally pleased with how the dragons and tower came out.

- I don’t care about Star Wars but some of Padme’s outfits have screamed Alicent to me since the beginning. The golden lace veil with pearls is the centerpiece so her dress is much more toned down.

- This is again based on Ophelia’s costuming and on OP saying Alicent appears to be dripping in gold wearing golden veils. I added jewelry shaped like the Hightower sigil with green gems decorating it.

- OP mentioned shawls with tassels and patterns so I had to add them onto the last dress. Well, I had fur instead of tassels but the statement still stands. I also tried to make the veil based on Spanish mantillas but it never turned out correct so I kept it simple. The dress is a mix of Alexander McQueen Fall 2011 and the Tudors era.

Tae's guide to Pillowfort

So you fucking hate what tumblr is doing, you're fed up, but you don't know where else to go / what to do when you get there

Here's a guide what I've been up to over on Pillowfort:

For starters, new users need to either get an invite code (message me if you want one, because I literally always have some!) or donate to Pillowfort's operating costs to get started. I recommend getting a code first, and then donating later if you decide you like Pillowfort.

Recognize that Pillowfort has no ads and does not sell user data, so you are not the product. You are the customer. Pillowfort lives because users give their money to the webisite directly, just like how ArchiveOfOurOwn.org operates. If you give Pillowfort a try... and you want to see it keep growing... and you have a couple bucks to throw their way... please consider donating!

On your new account, you'll set up your blog. User icon, description, settings, etc. You get one blog per account. Consider making this your "everything" blog, where you make your original posts AND reblog things.

Consider making a Community that will serve the same purpose as a tumblr sideblog. For example, I made my main blog ceylon-tae and then made the Community "ceylon-tae-art". Just make the Community for now.

Did you set your NSFW and blacklist preferences? You should. Filters & Blacklist have their own link in the sidebar, so you don't have to go into your Settings every time you want to blacklist something. Easy!

Join some more Communities! Think of joining a [Fandom] Community like following the [Fandom] tag on tumblr. Posts from that Community will show up on your feed now! Here is a list of the currently-most-active communities.

Follow some people! You might have seen some of your comrades on tumblr posting their Pillowfort accounts, or maybe you really liked someone's post in a Community and you decide you'd like to follow them! Go follow them! Their posts will show up on your feed now!

Make a post! Remember to add any relevant tags to the post, especially if your post is NSFW, and don't cen/s0r your tags. Your post will now show up on your blog, and you can control who can see it, reblog it, or comment to it. You can make text, image, video, or link posts.

Now you can reblog that post you made to your Community that you made! Or to another Community someone else made! Some Communities review submitted reblogs before posting them, others do not. Remember to add the relevant tags to your reblog here as well.

Reblog posts you enjoyed, so you can show it to your followers!

If you have something to say about the post, Pillowfort has a nested comments section! Livejournal / Dreamwidth / Reddit users will find this familiar. Newbies will hopefully find it easy to learn: make your own comment, reply to the comments other people have made, talk to people in a space that's made for talking and replying.

You can make your own hush-hush commentary in your tags when you reblog a post to your blog, but these tags are not visible anywhere else. So Pillowfort is not gonna rat you out to OP when you make weird tags on your reblog. But also there is no bulit-in way to read everyone's tags in one long list.

You cannot make addendums to posts when you reblog them. If you want to add something, make a comment! Or make your own post and include link to the original post.

Seriously. Comments section. Good stuff. If you enjoy a post, check out its comment section. For comparison, tumblr discussions lived in reblogs, but comments on AO3 fics are what makes an author's world go 'round. Comments are where discussion lives on Pillowfort. So comment on the post if you have something to say! You can have real discussions again! GO. BE FREE. You can also do a Kung Pow Penis in nested comments if you want to. Nested comments are good.

Likes just tell OP you liked the post. That's it. It's just like how kudos works on AO3.

Remember, there's no algorithm, so Likes don't boost any post's visibility, and if you want other people to see a post, you reblog it. If you want to see posts, you follow people and communities, or you dive into the tags for yourself.

There's more details and things to know, but I think these are some good basics for "how the fuck do I even get started"

In summary:

Make a blog. Make posts. Make a niche-interest Community or three. Follow people and Communities. Reblog other people's posts to your blog. Reblog posts to your niche-interest Communities. Make comments. Reply to comments. Love the comments. The comments are a fertile land and we will thrive. And we will call it... Pillowfort!

Hijab-Described Pinned Post

Hi everyone! This blog is dedicated to making hijabi content accessible to blind and visually impaired users by adding image descriptions. Special software called "screen readers" reads the description aloud, meaning that blind and VI people aren't left out when they can't see an image.

You can copy and edit any of my descriptions. Feel free to paste them directly into the original post if you're OP, or add them onto a different reblog in the chain. Credit appreciated but not required.

If you are a hijab fetish blog: Please do not reblog, like, follow, or interact in any way. The people on this blog aren't here for your gratification and they didn't consent to being sexualized. It is extremely disrespectful and I consider it harassment. I will block you.

I always try my best with descriptions, but if I make a mistake, please tell me! Just shoot me a message and I will edit the IDs! I frequently use they/them pronouns. If you prefer she/her or any other, you can tell me.

Also, if you are in one of my posts and you would like it taken down please contact me. I will take it down asap!

[coulson-is-an-avenger]

[ID: Several digital drawings of Arthur and John from Malevolent. Arthur is drawn as a thin white man with a long face, short brown hair, a mustache, and several visible scars. He wears warm professional clothing. John is portrayed as a featureless figure in a large, yellow cloak that segments into three yellow frills along the body.

The first drawing shows Arthur sitting at a desk looking irritated and unfocused as John chatters through various speech bubbles and waves around their left hand, emoting. The text around Arthur reads: "Are we there yet are we there yet are we there yet" (repeating) "ARTHUR. It's just one fucking movie Arthur. Jesus Christ. FUCK. Also there is a person sat next to you. Jesus Christ. They saw you talking to yourself. They're judging you now lmao."

The next drawing shows Arthur after the prison pits, speaking to Lilly; a green-gray elephant-like creature about the same size as Arthur with a trunk ending in a toothed mouth. Arthur has grown a beard and is covered in blood and says "You need to stay here, big guy. Stay!" John speaks into his mind and says "I don't think it understands English. Let alone your accent, Arthur."

The next drawing shows John corporeal, standing over Arthur who lays on the ground in the family guy death pose. John says: "Arthur get up." Arthur replies: "No." The final drawing shows John corporeal again, laying in a glue trap. Text around the image reads: "John in a glue trap what will he do." End ID.]

*mild spoilers through malevolent season 2 ! *

Take some more Arthur and John doodles I made a week back because I haven’t had time to draw anything else recently

Not too sure abt my John design yet, might experiment more with it later

The goal here is to Archive all Age/Pet Regression and Dreaming flags, as well as related terms, genders, and IDs! System Littles and Middles / Syskids, Systweens, and Systeens are also included and welcome here!

All flags & terms are reblogged from their original source, unless otherwise stated. We add image descriptions, (OP) DNI transcripts, and plain text as needed.

We do our best to tag for eyestrain, but if we happen to overlook one, please let us know!

I write image descriptions and video IDs sometimes. If you’re the OP, feel free to add my description to the original post. In fact, this is great because it makes the ID more accessible and easy to find!

Also, feel free to send me posts that you need described, whether they’re yours or someone else’s, and I’ll do my best to write an ID for them when I can. Fandom-wise, I’ll probably be better at writing descriptions for things I’m already familiar with, such as Marvel comics, LOTR, Pacific Rim, Homestuck, Paranatural, D20, or Naddpod

Send me an ask/message if you want anything tagged. If I’ve forgotten to tag something, please let me know.

I will block bigots and assholes. I also sometimes block people who aren’t bigots/assholes (sometimes accidentally). If you think I’ve made a mistake, send me an ask.

WRITEBLR ETIQUETTE: A COMPENDIUM

– But not really, of course. That’s just to make it sound fancy. This is just a quick list of basic (and maybe not so basic) writeblr rules/etiquette compounded together by myself and other fellow writeblrs. While Tumblr as a whole is a hell-void for everyone to yell into, it’s a hell-void with standards. Please keep these things in mind when you are interacting with others in the writeblr community to create a pleasant environment for everyone involved.

– On Taglist

Taglists are a big part in generating interactions for your posts as it’s the quickest and easiest way to inform people interested in your wip “hey, look guys, I posted a cool thing and wanted to share.” However it is important to remember that taglists should always be opt-in only. As in, someone should explicitly say they want to be on your taglists before you add them. Also an important note: If you have multiple wips on tumblr, you cannot use the same taglist for all of them unless it is a general taglist. Not everyone is going to be interested in all of your wips; please be courteous to your fellow writeblrs and let them choose what content they want to enjoy. There are certain exceptions to this, however. When writing a wip intro you can tag mutuals who you know might be interested to signal boost, but it’s best to only do this once and with permission.

Please don’t abuse your taglist by using it at every little thing related to your wip. Try to keep it to major posts such as: OC introductions, excerpts, WIP updates/announcements, etc. While people do love hearing from you and viewing your content, endless tags can get annoying and will clog up people’s notifications.

A side note: There isn’t a foolproof way of getting people to be on your taglists, but going to people’s inboxes/dms and asking if they want to be in it is definitely not the right way. I would recommend posting an interest check instead to see who is interested. Interest checks are also great if you’re participating in an event and don’t want to spam people with a lot of posts.

– On General Tagging

Make sure to add appropriate tags when posting content. Add all the relevant content warnings, trigger warnings, NSFW and NSFR tags as needed. Nudity and sexual content-- no matter how tasteful-- should be tagged NSFW.

When wanting to interact with another person’s posts, pay attention to the OP’s tags! If they say DNI, do not reblog, etc, then don’t. Definitely do not tag their original work as inspo/prompt/etc. because that’s just plain rude. It can be seen as invalidating, or it diminishes their work as simply inspiration for other people to use instead of something that can stand on its own.

– On Self-Promotion

Accept the facts now: Tumblr clout is fake. However as writers, even if you are a simply doing this as a hobby, we still need to learn how to promote ourselves and our work if we want to gain interaction. The absolute best way to gain interaction– meaningful interaction– is to interact with other people. Tagging a whole bunch of writeblrs asking for a “follow for follow” is going to get you nowhere in the long run, and honestly, is just annoying. If you’re part of a writeblr discord, use that opportunity to make friends and generate meaningful interaction. Don’t just use it as a place to promote your work and just not interact with anyone.

– On Ask/Tag Games

Meet and Greet Monday, Worldbuilding Wednesday, Storyteller Saturday, etc. are fantastic ways to interact with fellow writeblrs and gives a great excuse to talk about details of your wip you normally wouldn’t get to share. Sending asks to other writeblrs is a great way to learn about their wips and to interact with them, but on the other hand, please try to send good or relevant asks. These ask games are as much a way to help writers develop their story as well as sharing fun tidbits. Try to do a little bit of research into a person’s wip before asking, if possible. If you don’t have any good/relevant questions, then it’s ok to skip a week.

If you reblog an ask game from someone, send them an ask as well! It’s quick, easy, polite, and will absolutely make their day.

In relation to tag games: don’t make chain posts. If you’re tagged in something, just make your own separate post. Adding to the OP’s post makes it so that every like, reblog, comment, etc. ends up clogging their notifications which is not fun.

– Miscellaneous

If you like someone’s post, consider reblogging it! Not only does it help other people see their post, it’ll make their day.

In the same vein, try to add something to their post. Whether it’s a reaction gif/pic, a comment, a simple “nice” in the tags, or keysmashing. Writers love hearing from people and it’s just extra incentive to work more. Unsolicited advice, however, is never welcome.

Respect people’s boundaries. Enough said.

If you’re posting a screencap of an excerpt, add a transcript, even if it’s under a “read more.” For graphics, it’s really up to you, but try to add an image description anyway.

Long posts should have a “read more”

Credit your graphic templates/psds

And, while this shouldn’t need to be said, don’t plagiarize.

He is looking up and to the left slightly, smiling widely and showing off a missing tooth. There are a couple sparkles next to his face. Next to his knee, the artist’s watermark reads “onipilot”.

skz as piano songs i played for my exams (+ some that i didn't, but would have had i learnt them in time*)

*i wasn't a bad student okay i was just v stressed about piano bc the level required for yr 11/12 specialist music exceeded what my current skills were at the time

yall this isn't anything serious, i just started playing gade's andantino and i was like. this is changbin. and idk if i'll change my mind as i make this post but that's the start of it all.

ps. spotify links where available, but they're very big on desktop :/ so all under the cut!

p.s.s. i kinda lose it and just say whatever comes across my mind in some of them bc its. its late okay.

p.s.s.s. these are all very nice songs and idk what section tumblr/spotify has chosen to share but the songs are all v good i promise

Bang Chan - Nessun Dorma (arr. piano) by Giacomo Puccini

this song just brings me so much comfort while listening to it, and who brings us all as much comfort as chan does???

Lee Minho - Rondo in D Major, K. 485 by Mozart

okay originally this was jisung's but with more thought, it is now minho. the beginning is very like. i will humour you and play light hearted and go along. and then suddenly you'll realise how crazy i can get and then i'll be calm again but with an undercurrent of buzzing energy. AND THEN bam boom (1:15-1:30) and then back to funtimes again haha. this is literally the last desc im writing and its 12:45am pls excuse me

Seo Changbin - Andantino by Niels Gade

its just. grand. and something about the C#minor key reminds me of changbin. If we want to get more descriptive - the light left right hand/melody is very gentle, yet there's a lot of staccato when playing this and it kinda reminds me of how changbin can be very... sharp? decisive? to the point? like, he gets stuff done?? and i don't know how that connected in my head but it did so yeah.

Hwang Hyunjin - Gabriel's Oboe (arr. for piano) by Ennio Morricone

okay it's not letting me add the song >:( so i linked it. but this. this is my most favouritist one out of the ones i actually played. it was so nice and free flowing (it literally said 'play freely' on the sheet music??) and so light and please listen to it!! yes i linked the one from my exam book bc i couldn't find a piano cover of it that was as nice as the piano arr. for my exam.

but this song. is so pretty and soft and it reminds me of hyunjin's softness and adoration for beauty and symbolism and maybe i'm self projecting

Han Jisung - Rondo by Jan Vaclav Vorisek

the beginning,, let's go skipping with jisung,,, pls. like. skipping through a field, all care free and in an almost comical way. ALSO on that note. the way the notes are played at 1:56-1:58?? like the sudden accent? and the grand finish??? such jisung-ness.

Lee Felix - To A Wild Rose by Edward Macdowell

it was specifically the B major 7th 2nd inversion chord (?) (4th chord in the actual song) that really solidified it as a felix song for me. but the more i listen to it, the more i think it's not the chord itself but more... i'm not quite sure, i can't place it anymore bc now this is just a felix song.

this song reminds me of lix as well bc lix reminds me of dusty rose, crushed flower petals, and i know 'to a wild rose' isn't really... that but it makes sense in my head? hm.

Kim Seungmin - Canon in D by Pachelbell

okay it just. it makes sense. and i don't know how to explain it. also why was this piece so LONG. anyways. a classic. idc how overplayed it is. i will listen to seungmin over and over and over. like. ???? and also, canon in d is such... a lullaby. and seungmin's voice??? yeah i will sleep to it. yes i do need sleep rn.

Yang Jeongin - Etude (op.45, no.20) by Stephen Heller (idk what to call it bc i've found 3 different titles but yes its op25 no20 from heller)

the beginning really gives off 'lets embark on a new adventure' and i think jeongin has a very.. adventurous vibe sometimes. and idk how to explain it or if it's me coming to the end of my repetoire and struggling to asign songs but the more i think about it and listen to it, i do see this as a jeongin song. kind of. help.

---

okay fr guys this entire post is kind of just a fun thing that i ended up taking too seriously. the songs are actually all really nice pls trust me and give them a listen. the first four songs are some of my most favourite songs i've played. mozart's rondo was actually so fun to play, despite the headache it gave me bc i couldn't get it for a long time. and andantino, nessun dorma and gabriel's oboe are just chefs kiss vdnsvkjskvs okay GOODNIGHT can u tell its almost 1am
