40, Jawnino (2024)
Tumblr media
Jawnino’s debut is a tale of two crafts. Its beats intrigue with forays into ambient, jungle and grime, but the lyrics offer little; Jawnino’s bars aim for slice-of-life, but while genuine inspection of himself and his surroundings does occur, at worst these lines teeter towards Szmierek-esque TikTok slam poetry. 
Pick: ‘2trains’

Umm, so genuine question: What's up with the Silken guy? I learned about his existence literally today and am awfully confused. (In my defence - I'm not a native speaker and I don't read much poetry in any language anyway.)
richard siken (not silken, theres no L) is a poet whos work was really popular on here around 2019 especially (if youve ever seen the 'youre in a car with a beautiful boy' thing, thats an excerpt from one of his poems). he recently announced he would be releasing a new book of poetry, which is significant because it will be his first book published since having suffered a massive stroke a few years ago. it seems like recently theres been some controversy surrounding him because, from what i understand, someone on tiktok claims they contacted him for a school project and he responded harshly (heres a post with screenshots of both the message she sent and his reply).
to be frank with you i dont really feel like this is worth holding against him. her questions were invasive. a lot of siken's work explores intensely personal subject matter. he has written poems about childhood crushes trying to kill him upon discovering his feelings and watching lovers slowly die. i do not think its an exaggeration to call it insulting to have someone read this work, call it 'interesting,' and then tell you that you need to give them, a complete stranger, a brief summary of your entire life story so they can write an essay about it. without so much as saying please. yes, he could have just ignored the message, and he probably should have, but i just cant blame him for getting mad about that personally. sorry.
& this isnt even getting into the fact that he had *just* had a massive stroke, which was very publicly available information, and that that link in his email response was to the gofundme that he was living off of at that time (context conveniently partially blocked by the speech bubble in the tiktok)

We're Doomed from A.I
So I've asked A.I to give me reasons on why this site is a purgatoryscape, heavenscape, hellscape, and limboscape. Safe to say, we're screwed if A.I can even ESTIMATE how odd tumblr is.
Here are some reasons Tumblr is both wildly bizarre and endlessly captivating:
1. The Lore-Generating Machine
Tumblr can turn anything into an epic saga. Whether it’s a screenshot of someone’s typo or a random observation about frogs, users collectively expand the joke until it’s a sprawling, pseudo-mythological universe. Examples include the Horse Plinko discourse or the inexplicable rise of Goncharov (1973), a completely fictional Scorsese film that now has fanfiction, fan art, and detailed analyses.
2. Inside Jokes That Defy Reality
Tumblr is a place where jokes have no punchline, yet they thrive. Classics like:
“I like your shoelaces.” “Thanks, I got them from the president.”
The ominous phrase “do you love the color of the sky?”
And "Bees???? Bees." These are utterly incomprehensible to outsiders, but to users, they're shorthand for shared chaos.
3. Unapologetically Chaotic Creativity
Tumblr users will take a simple concept and run with it. It’s home to Shakespearean shitposts, cross-fandom debates, and anthropomorphized internet phenomena like the "Tumblr Userbase Hive-Mind," which users half-jokingly treat as a sentient entity.
4. Fanfiction and Shipping Culture
Tumblr revolutionized fandom spaces. It’s where tropes like “tag yourself” or AO3 comment memes originated, and every conceivable (or inconceivable) romantic pairing has a home. It’s also the birthplace of some iconic fanon—just look at the memes surrounding Supernatural, Destiel, or Sherlock.
5. Tags Are Their Own Medium
Tumblr’s tag system isn’t just for organization; it’s for thoughts too wild for the post itself. People write essays, crack jokes, or scream incoherently in the tags. Example:
Post: “I love frogs.” Tags: #FROGS ARE JUST. SO. #have you ever seen one???? #they’re like tiny green philosophers on legs.
6. The Unholy Blend of Wholesome and Cursed
Wholesome: "Look at this cute picture of a cat I saw today!"
Cursed: “What if that cat was God? Anyway, here’s a cursed drawing of him eating a cheesecake.”
7. The Great "Website of Contrasts"
Tumblr oscillates between:
Beautiful, profound art and poetry.
Shitposts that read like they were written at 3 AM after a gallon of coffee. Sometimes these two things are the same post.
8. Everyone’s a Comedian, Philosopher, and Cryptid
Tumblr humor thrives on being purposefully obtuse, self-deprecating, or eerily wise in ways that make you laugh and then question your existence. Examples:
“The mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell. But what powers you?”
"If you're feeling useless today, remember: someone made a ladder for a snake."
9. Absence of Algorithms = Pure Chaos
Without TikTok’s or Instagram’s hyper-targeted algorithms, Tumblr feeds are a free-for-all. You could scroll past a poignant essay on queer identity, a Doctor Who gifset, and a post screaming, “CRABS ARE THE FINAL FORM OF EVOLUTION,” all in the same minute.
10. It Just Doesn’t Care
Tumblr is a place where cringe doesn’t exist, and sincerity can coexist with irony. It's a space where people post their deepest secrets or scream into the void—and others validate them with notes, reblogs, or completely unhinged additions.
11. Everything Is Canon and Nothing Is Real
On Tumblr, you can claim something ridiculous—like, “In the 1600s, people used to eat tulip bulbs like apples”—and people will roll with it. Whether it’s fact or fiction is irrelevant because it’s funny.
In short, Tumblr is a digital chaos void where sincerity, irony, creativity, and humor collide—and somehow, it works.

🍂 Are You a "Lalala" Fall Girl or a "Hoa Hoa Hoa" Type? 🍂
Because let's face it, fall isn’t just one vibe; it’s an entire universe of moods. This season, TikTok has us divided into two worlds: the "Lalala" girls who chase the golden hour with pumpkin spice lattes, and the "Hoa Hoa Hoa" girls who romanticize the rain and live like they're extras in Twilight. Which one speaks to your soul? 🌫️✨
The "Hoa Hoa Hoa" Fall Girl: Twilightcore & Eternal Overcast
Are you the type who feels at peace under gloomy skies, wearing layers of dark greens and muted reds as Twilight plays in the background? Do you feel like you’re meant to wander misty forests in faded jeans and thrifted sweaters? Welcome to Twilightcore, aka Twilight Autumn—the aesthetic for those who crave a little mystery, a touch of angst, and a lot of nostalgia.
🌲 Fashion Vibes 🌲 You’re not here for pumpkin spice; you’re here for the moody, rain-soaked moments that make you feel alive. Essentials for this vibe:
Muted tones: forest greens, charcoal grays, deep reds, and blues that look like they’ve been washed a thousand times.
Dark-wash jeans and long-sleeved tees, layered just enough to feel cozy but effortless.
Lockets and chokers, maybe a vintage locket that you found in an antique shop.
Slip-on sneakers for easy escapes and endless wandering.
🖤 Activities 🖤 Think moody, introspective, and a little haunted.
Reading Wuthering Heights under an old, creaking tree. Or maybe something just as sad.
Writing poetry in a weathered journal, feeling deeply misunderstood (in the best way).
Going to nighttime high school football games in a small town, but staying on the fringes.
Listening to 2000s alt-rock, letting songs like Bring Me to Life by Evanescence transport you.
🍂 For The Vibes 🍂
Movies: Twilight, Thirteen, The Virgin Suicides if you’re in the right mood.
TV: The Vampire Diaries, Supernatural, American Horror Story (Season 1 only, obviously).
Music: Duvet by bôa, Linger by The Cranberries, and any Mazzy Star track that aches just right.
The "Lalala" Fall Girl: Cozy Cottagecore with a Pop of Pumpkin Spice
If fall means warm coffee shops, hayrides, and that golden glow over pumpkin patches, you’re probably a “Lalala” fall girl. Think Gilmore Girls, You’ve Got Mail, endless flannels, and every cozy stereotype rolled into one. You live for that moment when you step outside, take a deep breath, and it smells like fallen leaves and bonfire smoke. 🍁🍂
🌻 Fashion Vibes 🌻 You’re here for comfort, color, and a touch of that carefree autumn joy.
Soft earth tones: browns, oranges, creams, mustard yellows.
Chunky knit sweaters and oversized scarves, ready to bury yourself in layers.
Ankle boots for stomping through leaves and fuzzy socks for curling up with hot cider.
Accessories like knit beanies and scarves that practically scream, “I’m ready for sweater weather!”
🍎 Activities 🍎 Think of all the autumnal bucket list items—and you’ve probably done them twice.
Going to a pumpkin patch with friends and taking way too many pictures.
Baking apple pies or pumpkin bread and filling the house with warm spices.
Watching When Harry Met Sally or Practical Magic (yes, again).
Getting lost in a book at a local coffee shop, surrounded by the scent of chai and cinnamon.
🍁 For The Vibes 🍁
Movies: You’ve Got Mail, Practical Magic, Hocus Pocus.
TV: Gilmore Girls, Sabrina the Teenage Witch (the cozy 90s one, of course).
Music: Sweater Weather by The Neighbourhood, Harvest Moon by Neil Young, and any acoustic indie playlist that feels like a warm hug.
So, are you lighting a pumpkin candle and cozying up with Gilmore Girls, or slipping on your old Converse to wander around town like you’re waiting for Bella Swan to appear?

Astro Observations #3
Tumblr media
- Uranus-ASC aspects I noticed in some people, their teeth are shaped like shark teeth. Pluto-ASC is similar but their appearance looks more like Dracula. Widows peak, pointy top lip and ears, and dark low eyes. 👹
- Okay Okay, we know Adults with Aries Mars can be something else but toddlers with Aries Mars throw BIGG tantrums😭.
- Your moon sign is a placement that may be heavily in not only your moms chart, but your moms side of the family as well. 👩‍👧
- Chiron in 4th, Scorpio, Virgo, Capricorn IC’s I know how it feels. If you need a shoulder to cry on or to talk to, come to me, I’m here. 🤍
- Taurus & Cancer ICs/MCs should get into a job field where your schedule is flexible. Where it fits for you and around you. 💡
- Pay attention to the planet of your moon sign and the degree. It tells you which organs it rules on your body that could have an physical effect on your health if you are too emotionally distraught or stressed. The house it is in is how you can uplift yourself in a way to make yourself feel better. 🗺
For example, an Aries moon in a Virgo degree in the 11th house may get headaches, nose bleeds, stomach problems, or acid reflux, etc when overwhelmed emotionally. But it’s also in the 11th house so to ease emotional tension, surround yourself with your friends, get online and try new social apps, go volunteer at an homeless shelter, etc.
Virgo moons…we don’t even have to feel stressed out enough to feel those stomach pains😭.
- Cancer ASC have big wide eyes. 🥺
- Where ever you have Taurus 2nd degree in your chart, find the planet of that placement and what it stands for. Use it to your advantage and do anything work/hobby related to that planet. It will help you gain money. Bonus points if your 11th house is in 2nd degree. 💵
- Jupiter in the 10th house individuals… public fame/recognition and success comes when you least expect it. 🏆
- You will never ever be able to fully heal your Chiron but you can learn to adapt and become comfortable with it. Whatever house your Chiron is in, learn to use it to your advantage. 🫀
For example, Chiron in the 3rd may suffer from stuttering or anything communication related, the feeling of not being heard, bullying and fights w siblings, peers, etc. learn to get comfortable with speaking up more for yourself, writing, and building harmonious relationships that benefit you. Take a communications class. Go to poetry slams and present your poetry/writing. Remove yourself from people who you feel do not take the time to hear you.
- Find the planet ruler of the sign that’s in your Jupiter and what it stands for. If you partake in anything related to that planet, it will not only open more doors, opportunities, and give you good luck, but it also boost your confidence. 😙
- Doing this w the 11th house is the same, but you will actually make money and gain rewards & recognition that can turn into a stable income. Trust me! 💰
I have Virgo in my 11th house, I started writing on Wattpad 7 years ago and my first story I posted went viral right off of the bat so I started to write more. I always gained recognition but with this new technology, I have people from different social media platforms, (especially TikTok) saying how they heard about me from others and had to give my books a read. Now I’m making my career out of it. Also, my first ever post on Tumblr was Astro Observations which I posted about two weeks ago. It blew up to over 1k interactions the first day. I had Zero Followers!
- 7th house profection year, you may encounter changes to your appearance whether good or bad. 👱🏾‍♀️
Some Venusians I know never got beauty marks, scars, or had bad acne but experienced it their 7th house profection year.
That Is It! Blessings & Abundance to All! Asé My Loves🥰💋!

We're screwed.
I asked A.I to give reasons why this site is a hellscape, heavenscape, limboscape which you can't escape, and a purgatoryscape. Safe to say we're cooked if A.I is this scarily accurate
Tumblr media
Here are some reasons Tumblr is both wildly bizarre and endlessly captivating:
1. The Lore-Generating Machine

the taking snippets of media out of context to strip all context and meaning out of them via tiktok audio or by quoting is a great example of the demise of media literacy and critical thought about what's produced. like anything can be taken out of context to mean something else and it's sad to see whole poems be chopped up into consumable quotes.
particularly with poetry (and this doesn't apply to all poetry but) which is meant to be complicated, often fits into the narrative of the poem and only makes sense within the setting of the poem. idk I just know I'd be really sad if my poems got chopped up and stripped of the surrounding verses.
and then you get the same thing with tiktok audios that take a few lines out of a song and make it into an audio and completely strip it of meaning.
(as a disclaimer I do like web weaving I'm a bit of a hypocrite but I find it important to at least read the whole thing of what you're quoting.)

What’s More Important: Celebrity or Being Nice?
I went to watch Banshees of Inisherin for the second time today. All because of one scene. I needed to watch that scene in a theater again (though I had watched it at home twice already) and fortunately my cinema was still showing it. For 5€ on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, promotion on all the Oscar nominees until the ceremony.
The scene in question is one where Colin Farrell’s character (Pádraic) gets drunk and accuses Brendon Gleeson’s character (Colm) of not being nice anymore. It has made the rounds on TikTok. It is more than that to me, though. It proposes an existential question: what is more important, to be remembered in 50 years for your accomplishments or to be remembered by the people that surround you for “being nice”?
The whole movie centers around this question and I think answers it quite plainly, if not in its story, then in its abundant usage of the word “nice” in its script. It’s there from beginning to end. Pádraic is described as nice for the whole of the movie (until he breaks) by everyone who knows him. Colm is only described as such by Pádraic in this scene, in the past tense (“You used to be nice”). A lot of what he does is described as “not nice” actually.
Let’s talk about both options the way they do in this scene. Colm makes the case for celebrity, for being remembered for your music, your paintings, your poetry. Leaving art to be remembered by the future generations, like he appreciated Mozart after two centuries. Of course being celebrated in 50 (or, let’s say 100, because I hope I’m still alive in 50) years would be a very good thing, having made such an impact in the history of humans that you are remembered by millions after you and all your loved ones die.
But, while watching this scene for the first time, the answer was so obvious it startled me. I want people to remember me for being a good person, like Pádraic. I found myself agreeing with him no matter what he said, because in my heart I felt that it was right. The fact that “niceness doesn’t last” didn’t scare me. I wanted to be remembered as “nice” to the people around me. I wanted my mother to remember me as nice, my dad, my friends, people I encounter at the grocery store. I try to be the least annoying person a service worker will encounter that day. To me, all that Pádraic said was ultimately true.
You know what doesn’t last? Us. What good does remembrance do to a dead body? How many artists we remember today lived and died in poverty? How many people who made art, who accomplished something in their lifetime, do we not remember anyway? But the people we love are here now and we are here now and we should strive to be the best people we could for the people around us.

frankie didn't mean to be a perpetual teacher's pet, but it had been engrained in her to go above and beyond to seek the approval of others, and she'd learned extra credit didn't only apply in the classroom. that, and she really had grown to tie her self worth to how useful she was, only truly feeling good about herself when someone else told her she did a good job. "they do look nice like this, it's all kind of... spontaneous. your whole place really tells a story." one that frankie could quickly see becoming one of her favorites; just because she didn't understand it, that didn't mean it wasn't a masterpiece in its own right. oz reminded her of the sort of character she'd find in some piece of classic american literature, a fully realized individual with well developed tastes and opinions rather than the half-baked posers that surrounded her. she'd never met anyone of his caliber in her sheltered little bubble of elite private school to ivy league pipeline, and she was soaking up every little bit of his essence like a sponge. "you'll just have to let me read something so i can know for sure!" it was a long shot, she figured, but worth a try anyway. getting to go home with a guy and read his poetry would've been an even more favorable outcome than anything sexual occurring, probably the closest she could come to describing a perfect night. though it wasn't something she would ever think to pursue herself, both because her parents would never allow it, and because she lacked any real talent, frankie greatly respected anyone who dedicated their life to art, knowing that he wouldn't have put so much faith into his writing if it wasn't good. at least by his standards, and if he liked all these fancy books by authors she'd never heard of, he must have developed somewhat of a good taste. if she thought too hard about how much more well read he was than her, how much smarter, cooler, more clever— how much more experienced he was than her, she'd clam up entirely, especially now that she was sitting right beside him. she stilled as he helped her out of her coat, cheeks retaining that near constant shade of pink that hadn't quite faded since he first offered her the cigarette. "your legs would look really great in the costume..." her smile was small, shy, though she did pivot slightly towards him, body language a more open invitation now that she was beginning to warm up both literally and figuratively. "was he really? i mean, i guess it was probably pretty easy to keep up a good reputation back then since no one could post a tiktok exposing you as a fraud to their millions of viewers, or whatever... no 'hashtag houdini is over party'." she studied his face for a moment before following his lead and leaning back so their faces were level. "what if i read one of your poems and it's like that? you're just good at marketing yourself..." a snort of a chuckle slipped out before she could stop herself, pressing her palm to her mouth to muffle the sudden outburst. "sorry, was that mean?"

while oz didn't think of himself as a lazy individual, if a pretty girl was offering to organise his flat for him for nothing in return, it would be pure stupidity to refuse such an offer. "ah, we differ there. i can't stand organising things. i can never decide how things should be categorised: should my books be alphabetical, sorted by colour? what about genre? sometimes it seems easier to just try and remember where i dumped everything last." he rambled on with the confidence of someone who knew he had his audience hanging off his every word. he didn't even need to be that interesting, the doe-eyed dreamy look on frankie's face let him know that he'd already captured her intrigue with little work on his end. "you're sweet, but save your applause, for all you know i could be an absolute fraud." he wasn't, not by the responses he'd gotten from others but it was an easy thing to say to have her throwing more compliments back at him. he did sometimes wonder if he had thrown his life away in the pursuit of something entirely unattainable, but he knew that if he hadn't given his aspirations a chance at life then he'd live the rest of his life regretting it, and he refused to end up bitter and empty like his mother who had never done anything with her time except having him. they seemed to be well-matched, usually agreeing on things with their similar mindsets, oz usually liked someone he could debate with a bit more but after his last relationship had drained him of all sorts of energy, he found himself enjoying frankie's meekness and her eagerness to please him. if she was already this excited by the possibility of merely existing in his space, then who knew how far things could go when she found herself even more attached to him. her nerves were apparent as she made her way over to sit with him per his suggestion, the reality of her situation had finally kicked in perhaps and she had realised she'd come to the home of some strange man because of nothing more than her own whims, but there was nothing to worry about. while cocky and with a predisposition for self-importance, oz wasn't a bad person, or at least he told himself that. he smiled sympathetically as she settled herself down on the couch and brought his hand away to rest on his thigh as he watched her struggle with removing her coat. "wait- here." as amusing as it was to watch her try and wiggle herself free, oz leaned forwards and helped her pull her arm out from its confinement, then moved to take her coat and lay it on his haphazardly built coffee table, the sort that looked like it might crumble beneath its own weight if anything heavier was placed onto it. "i guess that makes me your assistant? the pretty girl in the corner?" he mused with a settled smirk and leaned back against the couch. "did you know houdini wasn't even that great of a magician? he was better at marketing himself than anything else, he was pretty terrible at the usual sorts of things you'd expect from that kind of performer." the information had been dug from the very corner of his mind, something he remembered hearing about in some podcast months ago and had finally come to serve him in reality.

Things you (don't) need when you start worshipping:
(Hellenic Polytheism edition)
Disclaimer: this is based on my experiences. Your experiences may be different. These are just some general ideas for newbies. I've been a Hellenic Polytheist for ~10 years now. I apologize for any grammatical errors, my first language isn't English.
Some people reached out to me over the past months & asked about what you need when you start worshipping and introducing yourself to the Theoi. In my experience the answer is: Surprisingly few things.
Scrolling through the respective tags on tumblr or following Hellenic Polytheists blogs can feel overwhelming at times - you see all those amazing altars, offerings, poetry, etc. I just want to assure you that when you're starting out, you don't need all that. In my experience, these things come with time. Once you're discovering your faith, you're probably gonna accumulate a lot of stuff that reminds you of your Gods and the process of building an altar and having more diverse offerings happens almost naturally. (Note: If you can't have an altar due to any reason, that is okay. Don't stress yourself about it too much. The Gods understand.)
Here are some suggestions of what you need when you introduce yourself to any of the Gods:
a clean space: set aside a space in your room where you make the introduction and clean that part of the room. you can cleanse it too, if you want to (i honestly never do that). when i introduce myself to a God or Goddess, I make sure the place where I'm doing it is clean & there's no dust or clutter around.
a small offering: this can be anything - some ideas are lighting a candle, incense, pouring wine (i like to use grape juice as a non-alcoholic version), a specific flower that's associated with that God/Goddess, etc. It doesn't have to be anything fancy. It can be but it doesn't have to be. Once you make offerings more often, they can become more diverse. You can try out new things, you can start building an altar, etc. But for the beginning, something small like a candle is more than okay.
respectfully approach Them: Call Them by Their name, ideally also by one of Their epithets (I think it's more respectful that way, but there are people with different opinions on that topic, which is totally fine of course), and say your name and that you want to introduce yourself to Them. That's pretty much all there is to do. If you want to, you can keep on talking to Them about anything. How you're feeling, how you found your way to Them, etc.
There's however one thing you should always do before you start your worship:
Do. Your. Research! This is so important! Read up on the myths, the religion, the way it is practiced nowadays, the Theoi! Before you introduce yourself to a specific God/Goddess - read and learn about Them!
And also - have patience. To me it sometimes seems as if many people here on tumblr & tiktok have daily chats with their Deitys and are constantly surrounded by Them. I don't want to invalidate any of those experiences, however the many years I've practiced this religion and what other people who practiced it told me, made me believe that it's usually not that way. For a lot of us, there are no clear voices or anything like that. The Gods show themselves often in more subtle ways and maybe they don't show themselves at all for longer periods of time. Don't be discouraged by that and don't try to compare your experiences to others. Just have patience. Everyone's path and faith and experiences are different.
One more thing: when it comes to offerings, don't panic too much about what you're able to give to the Theoi. Give what you can but don't get yourself in trouble / hurt yourself by doing so. If you don't have the financial stability or if you have any illnesses or if you live with people who wouldn't understand your faith - the Gods understand. I have gone years without having an altar for example. My living situation made it impossible. The biggest offerings I could make for a while were juice and candles. But that's okay. Don't stress yourself too much.
Oh, and lastly: don't just go out there and start devoting yourself to any of the Theoi right away. It's a serious commitment and it should be treated that way. (I might make another post about that later)
That's all for now 🖤 if you have any more suggestions or opinions about this, feel free to add it to this post 😊

(anon from before, hope it's okay I continue on the previous person's picnic theme :)) Nanami laying you out on the picnic blanket, surrounded by flowers and white chocolate strawberries, fucking you deep and slow until you're full of cum and crying into his shoulder. He recites poetry to you while he kisses along your body under a willow tree. Maybe in a little private park or a small piece of land he owns when he wants a getaway. He spends hours making you cum, holding you through the comedown while the sun sets on your half dressed bodies.
Awwwww b-b-but retired Nanami and I living on a private beach in Malaysia, having a small picnic beneath a grove of trees near our home :( indulging in fruit and wine and sandwiches and sweets and reciting poetry to one another :( and his poems turn mushy and romantic and he starts kissing my hand, going up my arm to my shoulders and neck, whispering verses in my ear :( he guides me down to the blanket and slides his hand up my skirt and palms my pussy :( he fingers me first, then eats me out and then fucks me all while mumbling praises and love and by the time we're done it's getting dark and we need to get home bc it's gettin cold 💕
Thank u for expanding bub, here's a tiktok for you
