#curate your own online experience or whatever but

[kentocidal]

i’m starting to really need some of you to start tagging things with the general fandom tags so i can block them easier and im being so serious when i say this /nbh

[wickjump]

falls to the floor and saves myself from the awkwardness of losing followers for having opinions they did not like (which is valid of them btw curate ur own online experience) by blocking everyone in a ten mile radius and by everyone i mean two people to spare myself

[void-of-unparalled-chaos]

This whole civil war on reading vs not reading comics is baffling to me. Like honestly this whole arguement is stupid.

Full disclosure before people come after me: I am a comic reader! I love reading comics (although I havent been able to read nearly as many as I would like)

Anyway yeah my whole 2 cents on this.

On one hand, I get why avid comic readers are annoyed. You're favorite character being what you perceive as wildly misinterpreted and being unable to find the content you want is annoying. But also it's so easy to just... click off? Like no one is forcing you to read it, just go find a different work instead of complaing to the author or whatever.

Also, comic characters have been written and rewritten by so many people and have had so many changes to their storylines and personality that a lot of stuff being argued as "not canon" very likely could have been at some point! And that's not even talking about other media like shows and movies.

The first example that comes to mind is Superboy (Conner "Kon" Kent). Comic Kon and Young Justice Cartoon Kon are drastically different in both personality and appearance. Comic Kon is the most bisexual coded person I've ever seen and Cartoon Kon is a grumpy asshole who looks like he stepped straight out of bootcamp. But guess what? Regardless of which one you like most both are canon in DC!

As far as I'm concerned, comic timelines and characters are a mess with or without other media types and we should be allowed to pick and choose whatever traits we want from it. Do I want Kon to have bisexual hair? Yes! Am I ignoring that Batman beats his kids in some runs? Also yes!

And because I saw a few complaints like these once before I'm going to address them.

"Character A can't be into this. It only happened like 1 time in the comics!"

Yeah but it happened. If people want to take that little hint of a trait and expand on it then power to them!

"Character A never actually had this role or did this so stop writing them like that!"

It's called a headcanon or an AU. This may be surprising to you, but both of these are common in fandom spaces. If that headcanon or AU is popular it's because people obviously like it. That person may not be you, and that's fine too! Just let them have their fun and leave to read something else.

And I'm not claiming to be innocent in all this btw! Lord knows I get loud and angry about many MCU fans' interpretation of Jake Lockley from Moon Knight. That being said, the reason I'm loud and angry isn't just "oh they made him less friendly and changed some personality traits". Its the fact that they interpret him as an "evil" alter which perpetuates hateful stereotypes about a very real and very stigmatized disorder with very little decent representation. The whole "Jake is an evil bloodthirsty alter" spreads those fearmongering ideas and has the potential to harm actual systems in the long run whether it's intended to or not. Disclaimer: I am not a system, but I do try my best to listen to what they have to say. By all means listen to their opinions on the situation over mine.

Even so, I don't go and yell directly at those creators. I click off. I don't have to read or look at their stuff if I don't want to.

Another complaint from comic readers I see a lot is "oh but it's so easy for them to just pick up a comic and read it! They are just being lazy/stubborn/etc." And honestly...

It's really not!

It took me YEARS to start reading comics because it was so overwhelming and I had no one to help me. Keeping track of all the comic runs is hard enough let alone actually finding and reading them. Comics are simply not well organized and it's hard to find a part to jump into when so many of them rely on prior knowledge.

"Well ask somebody who works at a comic bookstore!"

I did. He had no answers for me and looked like he would rather be talking to literally anyone else instead of a clueless 15 year old girl. Stepping into spaces like that can be intimidating in itself for a variety of reasons, let alone trying to ask for help. Online it's not always much better. So many people won't give an honest recommendation and others won't be specific enough. Many comic runs have similar titles, and honestly it's best if you just know the name of the writer.

Trying to break into comics is just genuinely difficult for a lot of people depending on their situations whether it be enviornmental, financial, or mental.

Also you can't just force someone to read the comics! If they don't want to and just want to watch the shows or absorb fanon content then that's their preference! You don't have to interact with it! Am I saying that no one should read comics? No! But I am saying that not everyone has the same accessibility and the way some comic readers treat these people isn't doing favors. Attacking them over stuff and getting annoyed at them isn't going to encourage them to pick up a comic and read it but rather push them away from something really fun.

Okay now that's out of the way, time for me to turn my sights on the "not reading" camp.

You can't just attack people for suggesting canonical content under your prompts. Unless they are being a dick about it. Then you can go ham. But if someone is coming in like "hey btw A is a thing that happens canonically and it might be fun to do!" then there is no reason for you to act like they just ate your baby!

It is also not completely unreasonable for someone to simply suggest that you try out a comic or two (provided that they are being polite and are actually willing to help you with clear reccomendations). There is no reason for you to get pissy at them, just as it is not a requirement for you to take up their advice. If you don't want to read it or can't currently that's fine, but just know that you have the potential to be introduced to something you really enjoy and that consuming canon content will more than likely help you with your writing!

re this post. ive deleted my archangelnun gender, but i think thats all the genders i have related to nuns/priests or sacred religious practices? (im not sure if saintancient counts but if it does just shoot me an ask!!)

on that note, i will not be taking down my angelgenders nor will i stop making them. i will be careful not to include certain sacred practices in my genders and if i do please tell me, but the disconnect from angels to religion has been happening far longer than the mogai community has been established (see: fantasy media for a plain example) not to mention the countless amounts of fiction and art that use angels in a non-religious or even metaphorical context. you can argue wether this is wrong or right, but because of this a lot of people get their distinct connection to angels from these medias and how the general public perceives angels has shifted. this applies to more things in modern day than anyone thinks.

alongside people having an insanely personal and complex relationship with religion which is . too much to get into in one post ..

the whole point of this post was to say that my entire blog is angel-themed, and i will continue to make angelgenders because of my personal relationship with “angels” as we know them. but!! i also want my blog to be a safe space for anyone with a connection to these creatures, be it religious or not. if my content is ever making anyone uncomfortable, please tell me and i will edit or delete the post as to not cause anyone discomfort. sorry for the long post, ty for reading through this if you did!

[carnographix]

The one good thing to come out of me being in guro spaces a bit too young is that all my takes on fiction are incredibly real and based

[mudskip-muses]

hey just a psa if youve ever sent someone hate over their interpretation of a character unfollow/block me right the fuck now it is So unnecessary to do no matter how much you disagree with someone literally just block them its not fucking hard

[slowlyfoggydestiny]

Soo it happen again huh

[succubi-tch]

I know that we make those posts for the supposed Twitter/tiktok/reddit refugees that are migrating here that don't know how to use this site, but if I personally see another "reblog artists' original work!" post I am going to explode like a pipe bomb and take you all with me.

Also if you could all stop doing whatever the fuck this is that would also be great

[gargoylelads]

wow interesting to see you putting thorki and terfs in the same sentence. that's a disgusting ship but WTF

Ok ? Literally just two types of people I don't want interacting with me who gives a shit

Fandom Problem #6606:

Things people in fandom need to remember:

You are responsible for curating your own online experience.

If something upsets you/makes you angry/makes you feel sick, stop reading/looking at it. Avoid the things that you do not like instead of seeking it out to tell people who do like it to stop making it. That does nothing good.

If you hate something, you do not need to tell that to the creators or state it publicly.

Use the back button, it is free to use.

You are allowed to ship whatever you want, but other people are also allowed to ship whatever they want.

While you are entitled to dislike or hate a ship, please be respectful and not put the hate in the tags for that ship.

If you see posts about someone liking a ship that you do not like, you do not need to hop into their DMS/replies and start arguing with them about it. Just ignore them.

Do not harass fan creators or fans for shipping something you disapprove of. If you wouldn't like it happening to you, then they would not like it happening to them.

All the ship stuff also applies to characters.

Be kind and don't be an asshole.

Focus on the things you like instead of actively seeking out content you dislike to bash on the people who do like it.

Stop stirring up petty drama just to get attention. People get annoyed by that and some will call you out for it which will just cause more drama, so it is best to just avoid it entirely.

Please remember that your own experiences in a fandom space are not universally shared. The perceptions you have of something differ from person to person, but it does not necessarily mean either of you are wrong.

[vanivanvanilla]

been thinking recently about ccs in fandom spaces and ultimately, whether people like it or not, ccs will engage in fandom in one way or another but ccs (and other fans) need to respect fandoms and acknowledge that not all of the content is made for them

(under the cut bc it’s kinda long)

fanart is widely accepted as cool (usually as long as it’s not ship art), but other forms of fandom creativity are usually either unseen, ignored, or in fanfiction’s case, made fun of. fanfiction has a bad rep in fandoms, not just mcyt spheres.

when people think of fanfiction, they usually think of cringey ship fics made by young teens online. not all fanfiction is like this (there’s thousands of elaborate stories that could be their own independent series), but even the ones that are, so what?

fanfiction is an outlet for creativity just like fanart is, it’s just not held nearly in as high of a regard. people spend hours upon hours brainstorming, writing, and editing their fics just like an artist spends time sketching, coloring, and shading a piece of art.

fanfiction is just as valid as other forms of creativity. if you really want to make fun of it, i recommend doing so privately or at the very least ask for the author’s permission to talk about it in videos, streams, whatever

all fandom content has a target audience. a lot of the time, this target audience is not the content creators! fanworks are typically made for other fans. it’s nice when ccs engage with fanworks, but they need to keep this fact in mind especially when viewing stuff like shipping content

a lot of it comes down to curating your own experience online. yes, people will ignore or break boundaries but there’s not much that can be done other than blocking or ignoring them and going along with your day.

there’s been countless times where someone (either cc or fan) will call out another fan for making content they don’t like, even if it doesn’t necessarily break any boundaries

this causes a lot of unneeded stress on all parties and often leads to whoever was called out to receive harassment, which i don’t think should be encouraged regardless of the content

no one can dictate what a fandom can or cannot do— ccs and fans alike have tried many times in the past, present, and i’m sure will continue in the future, but no one can truly enforce rules upon someone.

just try to respect each other and various forms of fandom creativity that you see; whether this is art, fanfiction, analysis, shitposts, anything. not everything needs to be pointed out to be laughed at nor does everything need to have a callout post. block/ignore and move on if you don’t like what you see 🙏

also, as someone who has been in youtube fandoms for over a decade, this is an issue i’ve seen again & again in All youtube fandoms, not just mcyt fandoms. this isn’t directed at anyone specific, just a general word vomit of my thoughts from the past so many years :p

Intro Post, updated January 16, 2025.

Due to the unfortunate level of scam requests I have received, I no longer reblog donation or fundraiser requests from blogs I do not recognize. Don't follow me just to submit a signal boost request. I notice, & I will just delete your ask and block you.

No, that doesn't mean I think you, personally, are a scammer. I just don't have the hours in my day to sift through the number of asks I get and verify them, so if I don't recognize someone from prior interaction, I just won't do it. Yes, I agree. It does suck that shitty people have made this necessary.

I post all other asks as they were submitted, with the exception of fundraisers from blogs I don't recognize. I answer at my whim and not upon demand. I will never honor requests to answer asks privately or anonymously. Anon is never turned on. These are hard self-care boundaries. Please block the tag "harassment tag" if you don't want to see to some of the horrible shit I get sent sometimes.

I will only reblog/repost/boost a given fundraiser once every 7 days. Period. Sending me more asks will not change that. If you only interact with me to ask for signal boosts, I'll just block you with no response. That is the only exception to my "post all asks" policy. I am a person, not a public resource. Don't make me feel used. It's exhausting.

If you like what I do, please consider hiring me, buying something from my company, NerdyKeppie, buying me a coffee, becoming a Patron or tossing some money in my PayPal tip jar. I am a disabled, queer, Jewish, non-binary butch, and those sources plus freelance writing are my entire income.

Here is the cast of many of the frequently-mentioned entities in my posts.

I will not debate my identity with anyone. I am a transmasculine non-binary butch lesbian, a cripple, a dyke, and lots of other things, too. You don't get a vote in that, and if any of those words are words you object to someone using in reference to himself, block me. I won't censor my identity for your comfort; it took a lot of hard work over decades to become proud of who I am.

ACAB includes gender/sexuality cops. You aren't the mayor of Dyketown or the burgermeister of Transberg, so fuck off.

Mom is a job title to me. I'm okay with being called Mama Spider, but no other feminine terms.

No, I am not an anti or an anti-anti. Leave me alone.

No, I won't DM you.

No, I won't answer your question about Israel.

No, I won't talk to you about I/P.

Nothing above the above two things means anything other than that I don't talk about those things online.

Don't project your shit onto me. I do not consent to being your straw man.

I will not perform Good Jew or Good Queer on demand, whatever that means to you in this instant. Fuck off.

Yes, I've been out for a very long time. No, I'm not interested in being lectured by people half my age over shit that happened when you weren't alive yet.

"Man bad/woman good" is regressive TERF/right-wing shit, it doesn't matter how you dress it up. Knock it off.

Curate your own experiences. If you don't like seeing what I write, then add 'vaspider' to your "filtered content" list, and don't bother me about it. Tumblr is a 17+ environment, and I am not responsible for you seeing things you don't like. My daughter and stepkid are both old enough to drink. I raised my kids. I'm not raising you or any other kids.

Anyone who tries to turn you on your fellow workers or trans people or queer people or fellow Jews is doing the work of fascists for them. Act accordingly.

My icon has lore, apparently.

I never answer asks privately and anon is never turned on.

[aayakashii]

I’m so excited for the new story but I’m so caught up in the image of y’all trying to figure out whatever curse or anomaly caused the whole animal hybrid thing, but Haru is just too distracted by how much he wants to hump you. He knew the phrase breeding like rabbits before, but goddamn is he really /learning/ it right now. (The other two feel it too, I love the MC being totally fine while all three are basically in ruts and trying not to mount her immediately (minus Towa. He is not trying to hold back. Idk how he isn’t immediately attached to the MC, nana is already attached without a magical rut))

Just:

MC, living her best life with some cute cat ears and a playfully swishing tail, enjoying the sunshine: la de da da

All Jabberwock boys: if I do not mount and breed her in the next 0.5 seconds, i will kill everyone and everything. (As they grind against anything around them, waiting for their chance to strike.)

👻

👻 ANON I'M CLUTCHING MY CHEST RN

nsfw talk below so minors do not interact please 🫵 and if you don't like this type of content just keep scrolling, remember you can curate your experience online 😙

Omfg I can only imagine Haru constantly blushing, from his neck up to his cheeks and ears, and rubbing his thighs together while he feels how his arousal just won't let him have a moment of peace 😖 I think he'd do his best not to let his urges be too obvious, but eventually he'd be so fucking horny that he'd be squeezing a hand between his thighs and sweating bullets whenever he came near you... you know what in hell is bad? I'm picturing him just like Phenix, trying to keep his cock from twitching, trying to hide how he's already half mast just by looking at you

This is Phenix btw lol

He'd look so cute though....... his face all red and trying to keep his whines and moans to himself while walking through jabberwock and feeling the friction of his thighs and his pants on him :( I think he'd do his best not to jerk off because he's so busy! He needs to work!! The dorm needs tending to!!! So he just ends up edging and torturing himself forever, but his composure might break once he sees you </3

Ren though...... he would 100000% jerk off to keep his urges contained 💀 he's a neet, I just know he knows his hands way too well 😔 it doesn't work much though, as soon as he gets a little sniff of you near him, he gets braindead immediately due to the horny LMAO all he can think is about knotting you and having you locked with him for hours on end while he fills you up </3 he's probably the only one that might not act upon his urges though, because he's so freaking insecure that it might actually keep him from trying to fuck you. But if you give him just a little bit of an opening..... oh he's gone. He will be knotting you for as long as that situation is going on :(

AND YOU ARE RIGHT ABT TOWA he just wouldnt try to contain himself 💀 pretty sure he'd just bat his eyelashes at you and pout while asking to fuck you... with a little side dish of manipulation like "Dandelion, you won't be mean, right? You'll help me through this, right? You wont leave me suffering on my own, RIGHT?" and he'd be so insistent too... he'd probably straight up jerk off in front of you while saying that, just to get his point across :/ it's best to just accept his advances because he won't stop :/ at least he can keep you hidden from the other two, since he's jealous and hates sharing soooooo... look at the brighter side??

And let's not even talk about how they could try to satisfy their urges with each other while they think about you (∗´艸`∗)

[justsomeectoplasm]

Hhhuugh so the reddit incident came and went but I know there's going to be a handful of twitter users that don't know jackshit about tumblr and are migrating here. Honestly it's valid that you all jumped ship because there's only going to be two outcomes to this:

-Muskratatouille is going to realise he fucked up and remove the rate limit.

- He refuses to admit his mistake and kills twitter.

So welcome! I hope you like my blog. Here's a revamp of some things you need to know before interacting with me and some general notes you need to know:

Massive porn bot problem here that can actually harass you and other users by sending porn through dm's and asks. Also shares malicious links to sites which is a big no-no. Therefore, PUT A DAMN PFP AND CUSTOMIZE YOUR BLOG, AND REBLOG POSTS. That's the only way to let people know that you're not a bot and that you're 100% a living breathing human. Lurking only works through reblogging without adding tags. (Side note: irl Hot lady pfps are not that great. Bots use them all the time. Anime hot lady is fine.)

Likes do jackshit. Tumblr is more of a blogging website than a social media platform. The way it circulates and brings attention to posts is by a sharing system called reblogging. If you really want to support artists, writers, game devs or just wanting your friends to see some funny posts, reblog it. (Reblogging artists work is not the same as reposting on this site. It helps us.)

Tags are your friends in this site. You can use them to navigate through content of your favorite subjects or you can add your thoughts to them. They can also help sort out your own original posts on your blog. (for example I use 'I ramble' on posts that have nothing to do with my fandoms.)

If you censor a word I will personally break your computer. You can say whatever the hell you want on this website and you won't get in trouble (unless it's hate speech, which you can report.)

Pt 2 of the above point: The reason why I'm so adamant on this point is because tumblr has a filter system. Users use this system to filter out content and tags that they don't want to see. This helps a lot for people with triggers and over all curating your online experience. By censoring words, you are bypassing these filters and doing more harm then good. Don't censor your words. If you want to use this feature go to settings and click on "content you see".

Pt 3. With that said, please please tag your posts if they have triggers or upsetting material. Whether you do dark content or not, it is important to tag your posts if they have a well known trigger.

There is no algorithm. You create it using tags. Your post going viral is a 50/50 gamble and you better hope it's a post that's actually great.

You can block anonymous askers since you need to use an account to send asks. Have fun.

Blocking users is much more effective. You can't see or interact with their posts and vice versa. Go wild.
