not going to pester the mvp with a rb but with regard to the tone tags video + the bombardment of misali by people saying ‘it makes sense to ME it’s more important that i convey my tone not that you understand it’ i hate to break it to you but communication is a two way street. if the other person can’t interpret your meaning despite you using something that is explicitly intended to enhance interpretability that thing!!! is broken!!!!!
#that one onion headline but ‘i don’t know how to explain to you that people need to understand what you’re saying.#for people to know what you’re saying#i’m not like. fiercely against tone tags i just thought the video was good and the tier list was useful for people struggling to understand#WHY some people have issues with them. there’s much better way to convey your meaning in text! you should at least consider how your#communication effects others#see: the trends of using overly negative compliments (DELETE THIS!!!) and taking on a tag claiming it’s complimentary#bc it’s ‘funny’ when in actuality! you just sound like an asshole#it’s a pet peeve. learn how to express yourself kindly and in a way that people can understand it’s a normal human struggle to need to learn#how to navigate new interactions and adapt to each others needs#digging your heels in and claiming ‘it’s not about whether YOU get what i’m saying’.#fundamentally misunderstands the whole point of communication??????#text✨#yes this is mostly a very long vaguepost of one asker that has been stuck in my mind but wanted to say smthn#anthropology✨#< this counts. i took a linguistic anth class this stuff is relevant and i think about it a lot

i think a lot of people in the fandom have a bad habit of acting as if aziraphale should know everything we, the audience, know about crowley, and that he should therefore be more sympathetic to feelings that aziraphale literally doesn't even know crowley has, because crowley hasn't told him.
#good omens#not to mention how aziraphale is autistic coded and as an autistic person i have been made to feel bad for not reading others' feelings#and acting accordingly when i literally could not and did not read them.#people expect you to “read between the lines” when you literally CAN'T#and put the onus on you to do that because they don't want to make the effort to communicate effectively with an autistic person#so you teach yourself to walk on eggshells around everyone and take notice of every little emotion they may or may not be showing#just to minimize the chances of upsetting anyone#sound familiar? congrats you may be autistic ❤️

Hello, I'm not sure if you're aware, but tumblr is going to start helping midjourney gather data for their AI. You're one of the artists I follow here pretty actively and I wanted to warn you to maybe start nighshading your art before posting it here so it doesn't get swept up!
I've seen a couple of posts about it. Feeling disappointed but not that surprised. Also not excited about having to start nightshading/glazing my pieces but if there isn't going to be any serious regulations regarding data scraping and ai "art", there aren't a lot of choices.
Thank you for taking the time to warn me just in case, it was very thoughtful of you!
#from what I've seen the effectiveness of nightshade/glaze has been debated and I don't even pretend to understand how it works#but like watermarks it's at least some kind of preventive measure a token effort to stop your art from being stolen and misused#but I fear that if someone is determined to do it anyway chances are they will find a way unfortunately#this shouldn't be the reality of trying to share art online#it's a pretty dismal situation when this responsibility falls on the artists themselves#I've been here since 2011 I've lived through multiple tumblr apocalypses I'm not leaving unless they make this place wholly unlivable#and I don't think there are truly good alternatives with similar sense of community and as varied posting and customization options#it seems like every other major social media platform is doing this exact same thing if not worse#answered#ohdeergood#I'm tired we're all tired of this

sketches & screenshot studies for my Barret gold saucer date rewrite
#barret wallace#cloud strife#ff7r#twirling my hair thinkin about the effects these 2 have on each other#they both exude much bravado in their own way. its like speaking the same language#the language of bullshit#and seeing thru it#ya know#the night before they blow the reactor when barret was telling cloud all the names n quirks n hopes n dreams of the avalanche team#cloud's first glimpse of what loving community can look like#that time barret marched right into hojos business and aimed the gun at his face#had to be cathartic for cloud#bottom row is the answer to 'what if on the sky wheel date when barret says SOMETIMES YA JUST GOTTA GOOOO FOR IT.... he DID?'

Prompt 241
Wing au? Wing Au. With perhaps a bit of a twist. Also a hint of eldritchness perhaps. For fun!
Ghosts have wings. Sure, they aren’t normally seen, not in the visible spectrum, but they do. Scanners pick them up, and sometimes a ghost might even reveal them, which was hypothesized to be some sort of animalistic intimidation attempt. (Something more than one Amity Parker rolled their eyes at)
Everyone had seen them at least once- the motorcycle-driving ghost’s mass of shadowy feathers, the green-haired girls matching shaggy ones, the rocker’s ones that looked like pages of music before bursting into flame. Even the box ghost’s had been spotted- feathers looking more like sheets of cardboard than anything else.
It wasn’t until the whole kidnapped to the ghost zone that anyone saw Phantom’s, but that was another tale unto itself really. Honestly the arrival of the GIW would have maybe been seen as positive before, but the fact that many of them had looked in the mirror or gone to the doctors only to find feathers beginning to sprout on their back soured it.
Especially as the GIW continues to prattle on and on about how all ecto-contaminated scum are less than human, less than bacteria. And well, what does that make them? Them, who have been to the realms of the dead and gods and back, touched by the swirling green energy in ways incomprehensible? Changed by that energy?
So the people silently brush hidden feathers together, quietly rebuff the white-wearing lunatics from the city as best they can, and hope to anything listening that they can stop anyone else from disappearing. That maybe they can find the few no one noticed had been taken before it’s too late, even if they have to tear down the entire government to do it.
#Prompts#Wing Au#DCxDP#DPxDC#Guys in White#Might write drabble for this later to better describe Danny’s wings#Liminal Amity Park#Imagine a whole city of winged people not exactly in a hive mind#But able to silently communicate via feelings/cores without even looking at each other#JL Dark finally got through the issues they were having to finally be able to investigate Amity Park#No one in Amity ever really called JL since trying to call the normal authorities failed#And well now there’s government people here and it Isn’t Good so…#Vlad might get an early redemption#Danny is not ghost king#Space Core Danny#Ghost Cores’ elements and Obsessions have effects on their wings#Why yes Vlad has a few well-hidden heart patterns on the underside of his#Amity Park can’t hide their wings because they all have living/physical bodies and most don’t have invisibility powers#Why yes it feels like an undeath fae city full of sirens and necromancers to any magic user#Very much something They do Not want people to mess with#Honestly with the whole No Wishing & other things w/ Amity it definitely could pass for some sort of fae-descended city

Scoria and Sakura are best friends! It's so cute when I see the things they do together, and it makes me so beyond happy that they both came to live with me so that they could share their lives with each other. They absolutely insist on it, and does so much good for the other.
I can't imagine how else they could have found happiness if things hadn't worked out exactly as they did. Scoria has basically been Sakura's "emotional support snake" while she worked through things from her past I'll never fully know that caused her a lot of issues with panic and fear. Sakura knows this too, and looks out for her sister, the only one she truly trusts and feels completely safe with.
The moment they wake up they both want each other to snuggle and play with. Scoria loves to be affectionate with both me and her sister who seems to have not had this earlier in her life- but Scoria is showing her how nice it is not only directly but demonstrating with me and Sakura also trying, copying what she has seen her sister do.
Sometimes when one goes to check on the other they'll join in on... I'm not even sure what they were doing. But they had a good time while taking a mandated union break from digging tunnels for the isopods.
So happy I get to share in the adventures of these two best friends! It makes me so happy to see them living their best lives together, and being beyond content snuggled together with their found family.
#cute#pets#snakes#friends#animals#I think Sakura tried copying Scoria and didn't quite get the full memo#So she went down the front bark and Scoria went down the back which leads into diggy dirt#And Sakura was like#“I followed friend into bark but where is friend???”#Meanwhile Scoria was probably oblivious her little sister was trying to find her & she may was well have her front half going into a portal#Eventually they found each other fully#And were very clear they prefer their home far more than this enclosure they helped build tunnels for#I'm glad to know they like their home#While I do want to make it more aesthetically pleasing#the current focus was filling it with things they enjoy#Specifically things they have a lot of fun playing with or on#I want their home to be the place they feel safe but also enjoy being in#not a prison#a bedroom#I think they like their enclosure but they sometimes don't want to go in it because they also really enjoy spending time with me#Scoria really does#but also communicates effectively when she is sleepy from playing and needs to rest#as much as they love each other when they go to sleep for the night they sleep alone#even with the option to stay near each other#I think this is nature rather than something I taught them by separating them into their own enclosures after play time#which makes me wonder if humans classified them as solitary just because they don't want room mates#like plenty of people i know choose to live alone but that doesn't mean they are introverts/solitary#I wonder if wild hoggies sleep alone (not counting brumation) and their social lives outside their den was completely ignored#Like I bet they live in a neighborhood or kingdom or whatever you want to call it#The fact they can communicate“I'm friendly let's be nice to each other”indicates a species that regularly comes into contact with each other

one of the many things i love about buck and tommy's relationship is how honest they are with each other. they are both willing to communicate openly – if there is some misunderstanding between the two of them, they clear it up. they express what they feel, want, and need in a straightforward way, and neither has to push the other to admit what's going on: they'll do it without being asked. personally, i think it's absolutely beautiful, and i just couldn't be happier for buck. he finally met someone who values honesty just as much as he does, and you can see how good that is for him. because let's be real, have we ever seen him this content with his previous love interests? icl, not rooting for them is just crazy at this point in my book.
#your honor buck and tommy are perfect for each other#no but for real#i think it's no secret that effective communication is crucial for sustaining long-term relationships#and when it's as easy as that?#boy i really doubt buck or even tommy will ever find someone better suited for them when it comes to that#and we all know this is one of the things that buck values the most in his life as well#founding a relationship based on similar values is the recipe for success#you just can't convince me that tommy isn't perfect for buck at the moment#like don't even bother#bucktommy#tevan#kinley#evan buckley#tommy kinard#daffy quacks

Does anyone else find it sort of upsetting how widely popular House M.D. has seemingly become in online queer spaces with how violently acephobic and intersexist it is? Like, I don’t want to pretend that it’s only queerphobic towards aces and intersex people, because the show definitely engages in its fair share of early-2000s-typical casual transphobic and homophobic language, and I do think it’s pretty biphobic that, from what I remember of the show, they made 13 (the one canonically bisexual character) a promiscuous party girl tm.
But the show is extremely vitriolic towards intersex and asexual people, and I wish that the people who treat it like a haha funny toxic yaoi show would at least fucking acknowledge that. The show actively reinforces the ideas about intersex bodies which are used to justify the nonconsensual mutilation of intersex children. And the way the show treats asexuality is abysmal. I saw someone on here once say that it’s “funny” that House is canonically aphobic, as if it’s just a joke that the House episode about asexuality actively supports the idea that asexuals are all either liars or medically unwell and in need of “fixing”. Why is pro-conversion therapy rhetoric suddenly funny when it’s directed towards us?
I’m not saying that no one is allowed to enjoy the show at all. Hell, I used to really enjoy it too, at least before I got to the asexuality episode (shortly after finding out I’m ace and before I had ever seen even a single other representation of asexuality in mainstream media). But like. Can people at least stop outright ignoring the absolutely detrimental effects this show had on the ace community and the intersex community?
#personal#ace#asexual#cw acephobia#it was a popular show! a lot of people who didn’t know asexuality even exists learned about it through this show that told them we need#to have our asexuality “cured” by a medical professional#I’m so so fucking sick of seeing others in the queer community treat acephobia as a lesser form of queerphobia#and we especially need to be doing better for the intersex community too because I am tired of#seeing other lgbtq folks throw intersex ppl under the bus whenever it’s convenient#(only to turn around and use intersex people as a gotcha against exorsexism)#not aroposting#I’m sure there’s also a lot more offensive shit in the show that I’ve forgotten because I haven’t watched it in a very long time#there’s definitely more that can be said about the intersexism in the show but I don’t know how to articulate that as well#someone who is actually a part of the intersex community could probably put it way better than I can#but hell. that incredibly intersexist episode was how I learned that being intersex is even a thing and I’m sure I am not the only one#I know more about the effects on the ace community (for obvious reasons) which is why I’m taking a bit more about that here but#I can’t even imagine how damaging House was (and still is!) to the intersex community

Metal Sonic being voiceless and that being played for the horror, but less in the way of "he doesn't physically have a voice box" and more in the sense that he's voiceless metaphorically.
Not only does he not possess the voice box, but he doesn't have any tools to communicate. He's never offered pen and paper. Never given the opportunity to write digital reports except with only the briefest of words. Never taught even a scrap of sign language, as crude as such a communication would be due to his lack of facial features.
If you handed him a speech generating device, would he even know what to do with it?
#sth#metal sonic#THAT'S the kind of angst I love exploring your honor#idk man. something about alternative communication methods.#it's a mini pet peeve of mine for Metal to just get a voicebox installed in redemption fics without a blink of an eye#like! that's a huge metaphor you're handling with that!! you're missing all the interesting stuff by just 'curing' him then and there!!!#you are literally giving a voiceless character a voice for (effectively) the first time and you don't feel the narrative weight of that??#and I know he's a robot but the idea of him being instantly 'cured' is. . . eh?#It's not my favorite. I'd much rather explore other options.#playing around with this in my longfic hence the post about it

it is important that Parkour Civilization 2 is about yaoi and trust instead of classism and systematic oppression because Parkour Civilization 1 can not only be an example of the pitfalls of a rigged meritocracy but also an example of a society that has forgone the need for community, and connection and the sequel thus allows for the rediscovery and reintroduction of community and connection that will lead to a restored-to-sustainability meritocracy
#parkour civilization#within the canon of parkour civ… it was sustainable and better during the reign of the old man. but then how does it become warped?#the answer lies in the removal of the Chainmail layer—the Parkour Fight Level—and the domino effect it set off symbolically and literally#symbolically: removing the Fighter level was like removing the tier of Love and Belonging in the Maslow Hierarchy of Needs Theory#thus if the need for connection and community is erased like it never existed then everyone in parkour civilization will go from wanting#Safety and Security (health and employment in parkciv) to wanting Self-Esteem (achievement and respect)—a pipeline that encourages#self-interest and leaves forming community and forging connections to be an optional step that many will often skip on their way to the top#literally: the old man erasing the Fighter Level would lead to the rank up of Pros into weaker Masters#this means that not only are the newly ranked Masters weaker… they are also more competitive and less sociable or mindful of others…#like the Evil Champion. who couldn’t match the Old Man and instead decided to outsmart the Old Man to fulfill his selfish desire for power.#in spite of supposedly being at the top of society and at the stage of Self-Actualization—the Evil Champion wasn’t satisfied. hence his#tyranny from henceforth.#Evil Champion is an example of what a deeply selfish and emotionally isolated person who has risen to the top of a meritocracy can do to#that society. a society we discover was flourishing and sustainable in the past when forming a connection to others and reaching out was#the norm and not the oddity.#when the old man cancelled yaoi—the society began to slowly crumble and was only revived when Evbo reintroduced yaoi#aurie rambles#talking in the tags#oops i also yapped away inside the replies /lh

when toshiro got on laios ass for being inconsiderate and never thinking about how his actions affect others like he was mean abt it but hes not wrong. Thats a pretty major character flaw and a pattern of behavior for laios — w not choosing jobs that made money for namari who is in a pretty dire financial situation where she cant even get off the island and has to go adventuring in the dungeon to get out of debt, who even explicitly brought this up, eating marcilles familiar immediately even tho she was attached to it, kidnapping shuro into his party and putting him in life threatening situations without like really checking he wanted to be there…?, wanting to see if izutsumi has more than one set of nipples when dehumanization is a HUGE huge issue for her the list goes on and on and on. Like when a friend does this to you its just kinda annoying but when ur the leader u really should be checking if everyones needs r met without them telling u. Like the autism plays a factor for sure, his cultural upbringing plays a factor for sure, but as ppl regardless I think u gotta step up to meet the needs of ppl in the moment or realize u shouldnt be calling the shots. just bc its influenced by factors out of ur control does not make it not a serious character flaw. And its written as such in the story.
#It makes him an interesting character w nuance and i like him for it#its a pretty big flaw dungeon meshi hits over ur head several times#And part of his character arc to grow as a leader who can communicate and take other ppls needs into consideration effectively so he can#be an effective king (an ending im still like kinda confused abt like i get its thematically full circle moment and a love#letter to the genre but like WHAT)#Granted ppl in glass houses shouldnt throw stones since shuros also a poor leader (worse than laios)#to the point that i think its a stretch to say it wasnt maizuru leading that party like “shuros party” i mean he sure was in their proximit#but his opinion does actually matter to laios and gets him to listen so ig it had to be said 😔#dungeon meshi spoilers#Laios touden#But like it was not the first time this was brought up to him… cmon man#Toshiro is a sheltered rich kid with no conflict resolution skills who at least was kept materially comfortable his entire life#tho on the other fronts… genuinely he wouldve been happier if he wasnt born into that family#and when hes angry his actions become vicious and targeted to a shocking degree#but his assessment of situations tend to be accurate to a degree thats surprising for a person from another culture thats only been there#For 2 yrs#toshiro nakamoto#in da tags i suppose#Shuro

Hiii I hope youre doing alright. <3 I remember you mentioning you use a certain mouth wash to help with covid protection and Im just wondering what mouth wash it was? Im not sure what ingredients to look for so I figured Id ask. Tysm for the help! I hope this isnt too annoying to respond to. 😅🙈
Hi I love asks like these bc I love sharing information and this is straightforward n easy to answer!! I hope you don't mind me answering publicly bc I think more people should know about this!!
Cetylpyridinium chloride (CPC) is the mouthwash ingredient that kills covid virus in the mouth and upper throat!
Ideally paired with other preventatives, it can drastically reduce risk since it reduces the amount of live virus at the point of infection. I use it right after being around people I don't live with, and during long events I have a travel bottle in my purse to refresh every couple hours. I use this mouthwash (under $4 for a big bottle): https://www.walmart.com/ip/Equate-Alcohol-Free-Multi-Action-Antiseptic-Oral-Rinse-Zesty-Mint-33-8-fl-oz/26441079
(If you end up buying it elsewhere, double check for "Cetylpyridinium chloride" in the active ingredients. Some search results are misleading.)
Nose sprays can also help mitigate covid risk: https://www.okdoomer.io/nose-sprays-offer-a-last-line-of-defense/?ref=ok-doomer-newsletter
Fun fact, even if you DO get covid, studies have shown the fewer virus particles you're exposed to when you first get infected, the less severe the infection itself is likely to be for you!!
#obvs masking is still hugely effective and the best line of defence but i do all 3 masking + nose spray + cpc mouthwash#i'm immunocompromised & it's a huge relief to have other forms of protection as my community largely stops caring abt protecting each other#anyways just search cpc mouthwash covid to find studies on how effective cpc is#covid19#asks#krystabella#also another fun fact in some studies cpc was more effective even than clorhexidine gluconate (hibiclens)!!!#in 2021 researchers were already like ''wait why aren't we putting this in soap then and other preparations to prevent spread''

I keep seeing posts where people are saying "Valentines doesn't effect asexuals!" "romantic relationships have nothing to do with asexuality!" And while i understand the point they are making is to stop conflating Aromanticism with Asexuality, it is still extremely annoying to find people don't understand the nuance that comes with asexualities connection to romance - because it DOES have a connection to it. It DOES have problems in relation to romance. To say it doesn't is ignoring a huge set is experiences that ace people face.
One of the most common experiences for asexuals is the struggle to be in romantic relationships because they are asexual. a lot of romantic relationships expect you to have sex. if you're someone who doesn't have sex then unfortunately that causes a lot of people to lose interest in you romantically as well.
There's also non-sam aces, and let me tell you it's so very strange to hear someone bring up non-sam aros but then ignore the existence of non-sam aces in order to prove some point of it somehow being ace peoples fault that aro and ace are viewed as the same. Some non-sam aces do not date either. they are still ace and they can still face similar problems to aromantic people because of that. they are still effected my amatonormativity.
Aces DO have connection to romance. Asexual DID have a reason to trend on valentines day along with Aro and Aroace. Asexuality is effected my romance and amatonormativity. Sop acting like it isn't. stop acting like aros and aces have absolutely nothing in common. We can work together and have similar experiences and still be seen as separate identities. there is overlap. stop treating this as black and white where one identity can only be effected by one kind of problem. It's naive at best and down right hateful at worse.
#text#aro#ace#aromantic#asexual#aroace#aspec#i might get hate for this one but as an aroace who for a while was a non-sam ace (before i found out about aro)#romance DOES effect aces#not in the same way that it effects aros but#treating aces as if they can never know or understand amatonormativity and have never faced similar issues? idk it's ignorant to me#some of the way ppl in the aro community talk about asexuality and aroace identities is just...idk frustrating#i understand the frustration on their end but also i need you all to not fall down the rabbit hole of becoming acephobic#and blaming ace people for all the problems that allos caused#and understand there is nuance to identities and just because someone is asexual alloromantic#doesn't mean they aren't effected by amatonormativity or that they have no issues related to romance at all#asexual and Aromantic are not the same thing but also stop acting like they have no overlap at all period#we used to help each other man. stop throwing some of us under the bus to try and make a point#romantic expectations are not an aro only problem

sometimes when i go on twitter and see all those phannies being friends and having group chats i regret not posting on there but then i see someone get reputationally executed every week and make peace with my lurking
#dan and phil#i feel like this is not a phannie twitter problem but just a general twitter problem that site is a hellscape#i dont understand why so many people on there value 'exposing' each other much more than actually communicating effectively#i am on there for 2 socmed aus phanart phannie hq and spoilers 🙏🏻
