#blurty

[princessallura]

I took a stroll down memory lane and went to see if an old journaling site was still around -deadjournal. It had been around with Greatest Journal (I really, really miss that site), P-Journal, Blurty, Livejournal, and many others. I only used it like a few times because of the restrictions they had on it:

You could only make one journal

The place was invitation only

I had considered using it as something personal because my psyche doctor wanted me to start doing some writing. She wanted to see what my moods were like and what was going through my mind. I have been writing it out in pen but I thought a journal online would be much better. 

I know a lot of people don't want to know so much personal shit about me so I don't do a lot of personal information. Maybe I will open an insanejournal just for this. It might be better because I can lock my writing away from my sister seeing it. Maybe it would be for the better.

I'm waiting for the day when, if you tell someone 'I'm from the internet', instead of laughing they just ask 'oh, what part?'

READER my au X ASL TRIO

Part 1 "The beginning"

TW:BLOOD,SCARATCHES,BRUISES, RUNAWAY,BROKEN BONES,F!READER, TRAUMA

You are quietly walking in the hallways of the Clestial Dragon ship. Silently wiping your bloody child hands on your ripped robe,and hide in a crate that would be thrown overboard. The Celestial guards grab the crate as you cover your mouth with your hands to not make noise. The guards throw the crate over board with some other unnecessary items, not knowing they have let a slave escape.

Finally escaped.. from the hands of the Celestial Dragon. Your not sure if you will make it, just being stuck in a crate at the dead of night. So you slowly open the top of crate and go into the water as cold water hits your skin. You can still see the ship not to far away from you so you have to be quiet. You see what looks like several hills, moutains, cliff? Whatever it was it might be helpful in your escaping. You climb the cliff, your hands and feet bleeding. You keep climbing carefuly and focus on your grip or you'll fall. You almost missed your footing but regained it again and finally reached the top of the cliff.

You let out a breath you didn't know you were holding trying to calm yourself from the spike of adrenaline rush. You're finally...safe.. You see that up here there is a forest with trees that are 50x bigger than you. You slolwy stand up as pain washes over your body, you fall face first on the grass, dirt covering your cheek. You stand up once more now being able to hold yourself up. Throwing the hood that is attached to the robe over your head to cover your face. Now start walking into the forest.

After a couple of steps you put one foot in the ground, more like one foot in the grave as you hear your feet bone "crack"now probably broken. You shake it off and keep walking, as the chains that uses to hold you, slides on the ground, around your feet, neck, wrist..especially sea stone which was even worse. You dont dare make a sound a you step on a sharp object. "Shh"you tell yourself or they might hear you. "Run from the ship, all you need is your name" you tell yourself as you still feel the carving of your name in the seastone collar. You wipe the sweat on your brow and you feel your blood running through your veins.

You shake your head as "what if" thoughts run through your head. "Dont think twice, you'll be dead in the second. If I dont find a safe place" You think to yourself as you keep speed-walking looking for anyone who can help you. Your neck and chest are starting to ache and ache. You let out a scream in pain as you try to keep your ground. You turn your eyes from your hands to the heaven as you pray for some good luck to come. You pass through every thought that happen before being captured by the Celestial Dragons. Your life wasn't good before you got captured but you had freedom. Killed your pride.

You keep your guard up already killling a few animals that were about to attack, turning your fear into a wepon. Oh how long you've walked and your body feels like its about to collapse, your eyelids slowly closing. " No. Dont you let them take control or take my soul now" you tell yourself as you keep walking.

You see a house or somthing like that and it has people inside and god they were LOUD! "Will they help me, or mabye they w.." "no, no time for takebacks." Your vision slolwy blurring and becoming fuzzy. With the last energy you knock on the door. You see a shadow walking to the door from the inside "its not the devil at the door jeez" you hear a person say from inside and you see your shadow on the floor before you collapse onto the ground. You see in a blurty sight a big person probaly a man with orange hair and a cigar, with a white blouse. Then everything goes black.

A/n:Ima make a part 2 so dont worry, i had this idea and wanted to make a comic but thats not going to happen so im now writing a fic.

[hyde-nseek]

Little Korok Hyde leading his little friends on a little adventure!

The blupee is named Blurtis (thanks to @hyrulepod for that fantastic name).

The chuchu is named Floppy (thanks to @goopi-e for that great name).

Maybe they'll actually make it to Rito Village. So far, they made it to the Tabantha Frontier. Only a little way to go!

[anonamous-blue]

Not aromantic not alloromantic but a secret third thing*

* (the line between romantic and platonic is arbitrary and too blurty for me to care; and though i enjoy dating societal standards of what that's supposed to look like make QPRs generally more appealing)

[forabeatofadrum]

@artsyunderstudy replied to your post “Hey, hey, hey, thanks @cerriddwenluna for the tag....”:

you said this was definitely six sentences and I was like NO WAY but I checked and yup ahahaha. I love this, excellent use of run-on sentence. Ohhh the boy is a disaster (affectionate).

​I wouldn't lie on the internet, Ashton, who would do that!!!

I love myself some Blurty Blaine.

[jensomniac]

Didn't actually 'grow up' with fanfics, since I'm old af. But it was eGroups, livejournal, deadjournal, blurty, and individual forums.

I am a bored and curious human being who wants to know what the majority grew up with for their pleasure reading time.

[goldensunstreakerrp]

Rant ahead...

I haven't been here in a while. Mostly because it seems like Tumblr rp has died. Tumblr also doesn't give me notifications anymore so I have missed opportunities.

I suppose I am just frustrated with the RP community lately. It seems finding active servers who don't alienate you based on your face claims or stays active for longer than a month is so hard to find.

In this past year I have been trying to find a server to thrive in. And yet every server I joined was either filled with more drama between players then actual roleplaying OR died within a month of me joining.

RP isn't as good as the old days. The time of Yahoo Chat Rooms when you could create rooms just for your group to build your world. Or even having large MSN Messenger group chats or even forum boards, livejournals, blurties, etc filled with active players. Like now to hammer out one thread it takes months to just finish it. There is no character development occurring in a single plot thread that it takes two months just to get from a to b.

And yes, people have lives and get busy. And yeah, maybe they don't have the time anymore to RP to all hours of the night like we used too. I remember writing with people until the birds squeaked in the morning. No one wanted to go to bed, so engaged with the plot... It isn't like that anymore and it is discouraging and frustrating.

I am in a server right now that has 24 people. And has had 1-2 posts in the last three weeks...

I could use Disboard but the last time I did I immediately got a notification that someone tried to get into my Discord....

I feel like pulling my hair out or slamming my face into a wall with how stir crazy i am lately.

[kinger-fr]

my visiinon is slightly less blurty

- clown anon 🎉

That’s good!

[kimberlychapman]

Also...I *like* looking up real-world science and engineering topics that I - as a professional cake decorator with a double major in journalism and anthropology - know squat all about. I like deep-dive researching some random topic and it's branches for hours just so I can write one line where the original character in my TNG fanfic can look some smug jerk in the eye and tell him some cold, hard facts:

Did I know anything about terraforming before I wrote this book? No. Hydroprocessors? No. Whether or not hydroprocessors were even a real thing or a fake scifi word? Also, no. But they are a real thing and really used today in real applications, so I learned about that and Trekked it up to fit the story to let me have this new character show off her knowledge in a way that suits the blurty way that she is. (Excerpt is from Book One with multiple formats including AO3 here: https://kimberlychapman.com/spacedad/read-the-stories/)

Researching the deep nerdery on the way to eventual love scenes is my joy. And really...it's *very* Starfleet, bahaha.

(Holy hell the amount I've learned about explosives, mining, tank armour, magnesite, and more for Book Four that I'm working on right now...I'm probably on a no-fly list based on my Google and Wikipedia history.)

Love when writers do an insane amount of unnecessary research for their fics. I follow an author that did like 8 months of intense research into 14th century Scotland so they could write smut about it, and guess what. It was some fucking incredible porn AND I learned about old Scottish politics

[autisticseaserpent]

30 days of autism acceptance-

Do you have other diagnoses? What are they? Do you think that some could be incorrect?-

Are y’all ready for this? I have waaay to many diagnoses. Mental Health/ Developmental- Depression, Anxiety, DCD (dyspraxia), ADHD, Autism Spectrum Disorder. It took me like 5 years in treatment but I think that’s everything. I don’t meet the full criteria for PTSD. As long as the people I’m working with have an understanding that we’re looking at basically trauma!depression/anxiety. Which has been the case with the push towards trauma informed treatment, that’s not a deal. I randomly figured out that I meet the criteria for tourettes now when I got my updated DSM for work. Which isn’t very surprising, it’s just that the blurty thing that I do that seemed like tourette’s but didn’t meet the criteria now meets the criteria.

As for physical health- The main thing is the ongoing hell of trying to get a diagnosis for this freaking mysterious chronic illness that’s probably some sort of autoimmune thing. Because I need a diagnosis to get meds for it. That’s a whole frustrating rabbit hole though.

Looking Back on 2023

Fun Fact: I started sharing my art publicly this year for the first time. Before this, I only showed close friends that were too nosy and peeked at my sketchbook. A lot has changed since then! Here are the highlights!

January

Not much actually happened for me, except for finishing up things from 2022.

February

I did my first big art project in February, while playing through Skyward Sword for the third time.

I also joined my first Discord server!

March

I shared art on Discord! Like the ones of Sheik and Ravio! Honestly, they're still some of my favorite art pieces from the year.

April

The Adventures of Korok Hyde begin! I created this little guy because I wanted something fun to draw about Hyrule. It stretched me to draw landscapes, especially in my cartoon shading style, but drawing Hyde really helped me figure that out!

I also joined Tumblr! (worst decision I've ever made)

May

Tears of the Kingdom happened! So I drew Tears of the Kingdom! And played Tears of the Kingdom! And started a summer job!

June

My summer job was rough, but I was still able to continue drawing on whatever time I had off. I started another project. The Hylian Pixel Art Titles! It's been the project everyone was the most excited to see both on here and on the Discord I was on.

July

This month was so busy I forgot to have personal time. But that's okay because I had a lot of family fun!

August

I got to see my brother after 3 years of being away from him! It was really cool! Also I drew a picture.

September

I started school! And did more art!

I also started writing for the first time. I decided to write about the Imprisoning War from the perspective of the royal chamberlain who wrote the stylae Link finds in the Messages from an Ancient Era side quest.

October

I did Linktober for half of the month. It was really fun, and I'll probably do it again next month. Here's one of the prompts: Dragon.

November

The Adventures of Korok Hyde continue! I also gave him some friends: Blurtis the blupee, and Floppy the chuchu.

December

I finished the fifth chapter of my fanfic. I also finished Ocarina of Time, Minish Cap, and the Hylian Pixel Art Titles!

Overall, 2023 has been great! I tried a lot of things, and enjoyed most of them. I'm really optimistic for the future.

[simbie]

i love them Already zZzzZz z zz

[nutzo0001]

wow, so bad it is good. idk if it is on our aesthetics wiki! so blurtiful!

I am gloom-doom-city-pop from aesthetics wiki, would you know XD? We can write some aesthetics together some day XD

It is nice to know that you have interest and if you mean making a personal aesthetic or giving an unnamed aesthetic a name then I would love to do that. (Sorry if I sound like a bot that is just how I sound when answering ask, probs the 'tism.) That was pretty unexpected, its nice to know.☺️
