also can i just take a moment to say how a show about "two witch lesbian ex lovers, two more lesbians that don’t really like them, a twink, and Patti LuPone" was the only powerful enough thing to get me to finally start shitposting on tumblr????

It's kinda sad people accept more when I say "I'm not interested in dating" than "I'm aroace" (or similar). They assume the first one is temporary, they can't accept I'm not like them and not liking someone ever doesn't mean something's wrong with me

Also team, let this be the year we are more comfortable interacting with each other. Forget aesthetic, like/reblog to support your friends. Comment on their work. Be feral. A community is only as good as the members in it and we should strive to support each other.

[discworld-heritage-posts]

What do you think you add? Do you think you make a poignant post better when after scrolling down through it we see someone saying it's "official"?

I'm choosing to interpret this ask as a genuine question (albeit one that's been worded a bit rudely) instead of a hate anon, because I wouldn't want to tarnish people's dashboards with hate anons.

Now, to answer your genuine question... The "Discworld Heritage Post" tagline I add to the end of posts has as much validity as I have authority to bestow it: none. Do I think my tagline makes posts better? Of course not! And I certainly don't think I make them official, (and neither my url or my pinned post claim that I do so).

I don't know what reasons other people had to start their own Heritage Posts blogs for other fandoms, but I will gladly tell you mine: I got into Discworld. I discovered the Discworld fandom in Tumblr. And, one day, while scrolling down some Discworld related tags, the idea just popped into my head. After checking that there wasn't a Discworld Heritage Posts blog already, I decided to make one.

I personally follow a few Heritage Posts blogs, and my reason to do so is probably the same as to why many people follow this blog: I wanted to see that kind of content. Tracking tags and being up to date on the most popular posts of a fandom is doable, but doing so for the dozens upon dozens of media I'm into is impossible, so I like to follow some Heritage Posts blogs to get some of those posts directly into my dashboard (it's also worth mentioning that sometimes, some iconic posts are made when people comment stuff on them, and those don't appear in the search tags, so following blogs that post about a certain fandom is the best way to come across some of those collaborative posts, because otherwise you'd rarely get to see them). So yes, I created a blog that, had it already existed, I would have liked to follow. Also, while other blogs with this gimmick usually limit themselves to reblogging, let's call them the "greatest hits", I've said since the beginning that I didn't care about how many notes something had. Be it cool art or a funny or insightful post, if I like it, I send it to my drafts.

However, none of those reasons are the main reason why I made this blog. The main reason is that I did it for myself. After exhausting all the content that showed up in the Popular Posts tab, I couldn't help but think of all the gold and treasure that wasn't there, buried and hidden due to the way Tumblr's search engine works. If you're familiar with the Discworld concept of "lies-to-children", that's what the "top posts of all time" is in Tumblr. A 20k post from 2016 will not be there, but a six month old post with 400 notes will show up. Surely there had been amazing Discworld posts and art posted in 2015 and 2013, but I wasn't going to find most of them unless I expressly went looking for them. And this blog was the perfect excuse to do so. As of replying to this ask, there's nearly 600 posts sitting in my drafts, and if I didn't have this blog I would have never discovered 90% of them. And those are the ones I've seen. I still have dozens of places I haven't searched.

I know that if I reblog a month old post with over 2k notes, a lot of people in the fandom will have already seen it. However, a 2k notes post from 2014, or a drawing with 40 notes from 2012 is something that is less likely to have hit people's dashes recently, or at all. When you come across the "Discworld Heritage Post" tagline in a post, please don't picture me as an uppity monarch performing the Tumblr equivalent of a knighting ceremony, or a stuffy museum curator deigning a piece worthy of being included in an exhibition. Picture me as a kid enthusiastically jumping and flailing my arms around while yelling "holy shit guys check out what I just found!!", because that's how I feel running this blog.

Ultimately, whether one of my posts does better or worse is indifferent to me, because they aren't my posts, or memes, or drawings. I'm just the intermediary. That being said, of course it's not indifferent to me, because more engagement means that was a post many people hadn't seen before, or had forgotten about, and one of my goals was to run a blog that would allow people to find those hidden or long forgotten gems.

When all is said and done, Heritage Post blogs are just another one of Tumblr's gimmicks. If we're not your cup of tea, you're free to ignore or block us. If you want to reblog something and don't want the tagline, you can reblog it directly from OP (or from another reblog if OP has deactivated their account).

Hi there ! It's been a while since I've been really active around here, so this is juste a little update ! My irl life has been pretty busy lately (i found a job !! kinda), and I don't have as much time to draw as before (I still do but yeah) but I do miss interacting with everyone here !! Especially my mutuals (I think about all of you all the times but I'm to shy to send a dm I am so sorry) and I hope everyone's doing good !! I also need to get back into bsd... It's been so long...

Nobody follows me for Honkai stuff as far as i'm aware but who gives a shit. this is Rêverose, she's a Knight of Beauty and she hates herself because she "wasn't pious enough" to stop the Fall of Idrila. TBH she couldn't have stopped that shit she just has a lot of self-hate and other issues

[ian-the-existential-crisis]

Oh? I wasn't playing around. I'm totally writing a Kit-centric Jentry Chau fan fiction that's going to be multiple chapters and upwards of 55k long. I just don't know if I want to write it being platonic ot4 or romantic yet.

Long live Kit!

So... Human. [Preview]

Humans were like the big horse fly in the corner of his room that had become the unknowing victim of a predator. The daddy long legs spider had, at some point when his eyes were busy elsewhere, ventured up to the opposite corner of the room, spinning a decent sized web. It was laying in wait for the horse fly to buzz around the room again, for it to land on the soft threads of the spider's webs.

In that way, Kit could see how the horse fly was like a human. That made him the spider then. He was currently weaving a new identity, the supple skin of a young boy for this job. Was it even a job? He lived off of life force, stealing a person's very energy to live. That probably made him worse than a spider. Or were they the same? A spider, he had learned from his short time enrolled in a human schoolhouse on the outskirts of Korea a few hundred years ago, would suck the blood from whatever got caught in their web, leaving the shell of a body wrapped in its silken threads. Is that not what he did, with less blood?

Kit hummed to himself, looking down to select the eye color. A deep brown would go well with the navy blue of the British school uniform he would be forced to wear, but most of the children attending the school had soft baby blue eyes.

Decisions, decisions.

Normally when it came to stalking his prey, he wanted to make himself the most likeable version that he could. Sometimes that meant being a beautiful woman with stunning platinum blonde hair, sometimes that meant being a young boy with baby blue eyes so he could fit in.

He needed to do more research on his prey. Or rather, the child that would lead him to his prey. The shui gui that had bought his services had paid him half up front, and the other half would be given to him once he fulfilled his part of the bargain.

Beihe, he was pretty sure that was the water gui's name, had asked him to bring her a specific woman. The easiest way to get to her was through her son. She was a married, faithful woman of the church, so he couldn't seduce her like he had done for so many others. And he only needed to bring her to the water's edge at night. If he couldn't do that Beihe said he could drop her corpse at the bank of the river, but he hated having to kill. Even if it was necessary. But he had done it before and he would do it again. He had to. The fish that Beihe promised him wouldn't last forever. And the nourishment he got from animals always seemed less filling than that of humans.

so i just spent like 4 hours writing the text to and recording a murderbot-themed song to the melody of jingle bell rock, because i've been forced to listen to jingle bell rock on repeat at work and my brain helpfully suggested that "jingle bell" and "murderbot" have the same amount syllables on like repeat number 3 and ever since my brain's just been going "murderbot, murderbot, murderbot rock"

(the lyrics are like /so/ bad for the amount of time i spent on this, it reads like a 15-min project, also i /can't/ sing, i was literally told to "stop intentionally singing this badly" in music class in school at one point, and it's recorded on my phone mic, on a phone that cost under $150 new)

but man i am so happy/excited about this and im legit thinking about like if i can learn how to 1. make videos with karaoke text in them, 2. fucking ANIMATE a short video with like simple chibi-like drawings (i can't draw either), (and also maybe 3. get some vocaloid-like voice program to sing this instead of me) in the next 48-ish hours to make a murderbot-themed video for christmas

this is absurdly pedantic i know but i think it's kind of dumb when people say that spices like ginger, clove, cinnamon, nutmeg, etc being traditional in european holiday recipes (think gingerbread and its thousands of variations) is the product of colonialism. like yeah sure colonialism helped make those spices more cheaply available and therefore widespread in europe but come on, europeans were trading across asia and north africa for those very same spices for centuries before modern transcontinental empires existed
