WIP Wednesday Whenever

Got tagged by @elvenbeard! ich danke mal wieder! <3

—

GENERAL:

Thought a lot this week and I set myself a goal for 2024: to be more structured with content for CP77 so I do not loose my passion for it. First I made a decision to only boot my laptop when:

I have an actual idea in mind I desperately want to vp. This used to be the case at the start of the year but along the way it seems I've lost it and instead only piled up my ideas …

in order of finishing a chapter for the 2078 story as some vp is to be added to support the written text (my friend and I share the vp work here too).

if I get asked directly by a modder to take shots for mods.

I just want to play the game ffs (which is rare in itself).

Don't want to force myself anymore to boot up the game each weekend, so that I have some content to post and keep up with this fast living fandom, as it produces vp and mods it feels like close to mass production.

I want to share quality in my content and not end up in just doing quantity. Which means I have to learn to stay more focused on what I want to create in the first place and one after another. This includes get less distracted which includs less browsing my dash and also be less on discord (servers).

So if you really want me to see your content:

a. tag me directly in your post (I do not mind being tagged!) b. send me a link via dm/discord c. use the tag: #chevvy-yates as I will follow this tag from now on.

Hope you understand my own problem and respect my decision, but I have to change something. The least I want is having you think I do not like your content anymore or I do ignore you. If you feel like I do, feel free to tell me about it! Sometimes I do not notice it myself.

Enough of that — now back to a bit content:

— VP/GRAPHICS:

I'll post this boy again tomorrow 🤍

and once I am able to push the button he will be back with lightning:

I reworked these two spotify covers for my two hc radio stations:

they look like this now:

Decided to place Ry's face into them bc they are made for him anyways. At first my intention was to stay more casual but didn't like the simplicity of pic + station icon/logo. Even tho I liked the concept with the chain boots a lot I've felt it doesn't have a reference to 'hell' and 'tech' as soon as I went to make the cover for my chrome chamber Rave playlist. Which lets me come to the next thing I sat down for a few days. I made a cover and moodboards for Hell Bunker/Chrome Chamber Rave:

SNIPPET:

a part of the Ryder oneshot I'm also still on:

His thumb keeps browsing his phone like it has its own life and a long moment later Ry catches himself now browsing his contact list. He didn’t want to call anyone specifically, also not around this time. He just keeps randomly scrolling the alphabet until he arrives at ‘T’. A smile steals onto his lips as he reads the same name, he spoke aloud prior, on his screen and pictures rush through his slightly tipsy mind. Long gone memories of his first clubbing experiences in Berlin. Back then he always had to be home around midnight. Both his legs still have some post-response to the last song he was raving to in the underground, making it impossible for him to sit quiet at all so he jumps up into a standing position and yells “I rave as fucking long as I want to—” There’s a long pause until he continues low “—like you always wished for me, Tommy …” Saying his first love’s name aloud for a second time now makes his smile on his dark contoured lips fade quickly. It’s the moment where Ryder senses that, after nearly 10 years, he still misses him. His thumb has already pressed the contact number and his hand moves up to hold the phone onto his ear. Ryder doesn’t think about his movements at all, his mind just froze in the moment as he moves mechanically. Only when hears the ‘Connection unavailable,’ it pulls him back from wherever he has been to. His right arm falls back into a hanging position, leaving him just standing there in the street. Deine Nummer ist seit jeher noch gleich, doch unter dieser scheiß Nummer werd’ ich dich nie wieder erreichen, wanders through Ry’s mind. Denn da wo du bist, geht keiner ran. Da ist kein Empfang. Ry’s phone is not the phone he used to have back then but he never cared about deleting any numbers at all and so they moved to the next phone and the next one after that and so on.

Hi, I’m Wacky!

I’m not necessarily new (I have lingered around a bit) but I don’t think I’ve kept a blog for more than three months before deleting it. But this one is to stay! … I hope!

A little about me!

I’m an adult, so if that makes you uncomfortable then you are free to leave!

I’m primarily SFW! Anyone under 18 can request a fic from me, but I’d prefer for only 18+ to come into my DMS. If you are not above 18 and you do this, I will block you.

I write for a bunch of fandoms. I will make a fandom list eventually but right now, I’m taking drabble requests for the following fandoms:

Murder Drones, Friday Night Funkin�� (mods too), Project Sekai (also VOCALOID in general), Sonic the Hedgehog and other sorta niche fandoms that probably no one knows about!

Feel free to send anything in! Or if you want to talk to me, that’s cool too! I’m known to be a little shy however…

skyrim randomizer mod 5e

My fiancé [BQ] and I have recently started a D&D 5e home game with just the two of us, myself playing the part of DM. As Critical Role fans, we decided to play in the world of Exandria for ease as I have no DM experience prior to this and we both already know a lot of the lore associated with this world. We recently re-watched Many A True Nerd’s playthrough of Skyrim with the doorway randomizer mod installed [linked below]. Conversations ensued. 

BQ always has such wonderful ideas for one-shots and gameplay mechanics, and every time they watch a new video or read an interesting article they throw those ideas my way. My OneNote document is getting out of hand... 

I’ve put in a little work devising an idea of how to introduce this mechanic to our home game without hopefully totally breaking our game. Below are my notes. Feel free to let me know if you have any ideas or thoughts, would love to hear them. 

The PC finds a disheveled, mossy hut in the swamps near the coast of the Emerald Gulch. The hut seems to be half-sunken, surrounded by mud, water, and vegetation. The sea-swamp hut emits a magical effect that will make the PC feel sick or paranoid, pending a saving throw or two. Upon investigation, the hut is inhabited by a homebrew version of a hag. I’ll probably be utilizing a Sea Hag, and buff it up pending the PC level upon arrival. Not sure if I want to make this encounter potentially non-violent, but I haven’t gotten there yet. So...we’ll say a fight ensues, hopefully leaving the PC still standing.  Some loot ideas for the Sea Hag’s hut (thanks homebrew masterminds on the internet): glass dome with water bubble inside that always points north, cracked spyglass that always shows a different point in the water plane, sea shell that lets you change your voice, eye of the witch that allows Identify spell 3/day but only speaks in riddles, edible pickled octopus tentacles, and a pearl that when licked allows the PC to breathe underwater and have a swim speed up to their walking speed for 1HR. 

Inspecting the hut further, the PC will find a large, woven seaweed blanket thrown over something rather large. If removed, an opening framed in seashells and seaweed, as well as gemstones and other small collectible items, will be reveled. There is a faint green-grey glow emanating off of the frame, and the opening has the appearance of purple-black ooze. It appears to shift like ocean waves but stands in the place of what should be a door, based on size and appearance. This door, when entered, will take the PC (and anyone else within 15ft. of the door? maybe?) to a random location (D100 table below). Once the door has been utilized by a person, the path of the doors always stays the same for that person, i.e. the doors will always lead to the same place, and you can backtrack to find your way back to the door you came though. Might need to succeed on INT first. Trying to figure out if there should be an unknown to the PC mechanic that could break the magic holding the door together. If the magic is broken, the PC is stuck wherever they are. There is no way to fix it once it has been broken. If someone else opens a door for the PC while they are inside the randomizer, the door functions as normal. If the PC opens a door while inside the randomizer, it will always lead to a new location (new D100 roll).

[blackmoonrose13]

Okay so I don't know if this is a legit question or not I am acting like it is.

It's more or less a boundaries respecting thing, um more detailed explanation under the cut

Reasons this is now a thing, it's mostly in discord. Because there has been this massive uptick in, Unsolicited Direct messages. I think that is the term I hope it is.

Aka rando messaging you with out even like having a back and forth in the said server you are in...I personally prefer a back and forth in the server before private messaging because I don't know call me old.

People randomly just info dumping on something they like or dramadumping to you thinking you care...not saying you don't but you know read the room.

If you happen to be a streamer (like me) or someone with a following and you run a server so people can easily get updates on projects, when you stream etc, you do get those fans who think because they are in that server that gives 100% okay to message the said creator. And it's a mix bag and also can be yikes.

This massive uptick in. "Hi I am a GFX artist I want you to commission me" Scams especially if you are in more gamer/streamer based discords, at least from my notice as a mod. Aka bots join the server and spam scams and shit.

If you are in servers that may have a NSFW section or are NSFW based...MASSIVE AMOUNTS OF CREEPS, if you happen to be female presenting in one of those servers, those unhinged horny folks will just barge into your space like a drunk scevy guy at the club trying to solicit you or show you their junk, or try to get pics of your junk. Oh the number of creeps you can get in discords some times, heck even if you aren't active and give off the female presenting vibe it happens. Some servers like this do have roles that are like dms open, ask to dm, do not dm, You know showing the consent of it all. Yea the creeps don't care and just wanna be creeps and gross, and don't know how to socialize I guess...a lot of those servers actually take those things seriously because nothing is sexier than consent. And if they are breaking that boom out. Those are good servers.

And due to all the things happening above, when you get a random dm from a random person and you never interacted with that person in the server you both share, you automatically get defensive. You feel like uh you know that one worker who doesn't get the hint to leave your space you are trying to work and insists on staying so they can gossip or talk about their family drama? Yea it is kinda like that.

Now Yes I am an artist who has commissions open and I advertise it in many a server, but 9/10 times if a person dms me about a commission they usually state that in their first line. And I am not as prickly and I go through the process and hope the person in question isn't trying to just get free art out of me or something.

To be honest, I do like the ask if its cool to dm first, But that is just my brain. I think of it less of a "What is with these kids?" Thing and more of a "Yea people are respecting boundaries can we please keep that up?"

What horrifying new social rules are the kids inventing now

☆ WELCOME BLEACH H☆ES ALIKE. TO THE H☆ETEI 13. 護廷十三隊

You may know me on here as @bleach-your-panties. I started that blog back in 2016 as a sole writer for the anime Bleach.

With the release of Bleach: TYBW in the past few years, the anime has been gaining traction again, so I decided to create a space where lovers of the anime and manga can dwell together in harmony!

Info/How to Join:

• Roles:

Just like in the Gotei 13, there will be 13 squads and each will have a captain, lieutenant, and 3rd seat.

If you apply for a seated officer position, you will be given full reign over your own divisions (channels), but general rules of the server will still apply EVERYWHERE.

I, of course, will be taking on the role of Overseer and Captain of 3rd Division. Whoever applies for position of 3rd Division Lieutenant will be my co-admin.

Division heads will have the option to be mods if they so choose; (Mod positions closed!) if not, then you'll just be responsible for handling your divisions. That means you are responsible for reporting any misconduct/rudeness and keeping the server running smoothly from your end.

This will be an 18+ server, so ID verification will be requested. Please submit a photo with ID showing clear birthdate (everything else blanked out) when you submit your Google form.

• General Rules:

Firstly and most importantly, BE KIND TO ONE ANOTHER.

This means no subtweeting or sending slick shots at each other in the Discord or on Tumblr; if you have an issue, talk it out like adults or ask me or another mod for help.

ABSOLUTELY NO GATEKEEPING, BULLYING, OR JEALOUSY. Multiple people can like or selfship with the same characters. It will be okay, I promise you.

Don't ignore people!! That is very rude!! If everyone is having a discussion, don't talk over people or ignore someone who's talking directly to you. If you want to have private conversations, DM each other or take it to your offices (your private rooms).

Exercise basic manners, i.e. greeting everyone when you come in the chat, saying goodbye or goodnight when you're leaving/going to bed. I hate seeing conversations die so easily and it leaves people feeling like you don't care about what they have to say or you don't care enough to acknowledge them.

There will be therapy/vent channels for expressing frustration in daily life or on Tumblr, but keep in mind that we are not licensed therapists! I don't mind you coming to me if you need a listening ear or advice, but if it's a very serious issue, you may need to look into seeking professional help.

Try to keep talk of Tumblr discourse to a min; you're free to express yourself of course but we want to have fun here and escape all the bs that Tumblr has to offer.

This is a BLEACH themed server. So mainly Bleach talk here! You can talk about other animes but mostly everyone that joins here should be Bleach fans.

Keep the server tidy by discussing topics in their respective channels (i.e. 6th divison character talk stays in 6th divison. You are free to visit any division you like at any time!)

Be respectful during RP (this is a given but I will go into more detail within the server itself)

There will also be a Hueco Mundo/Espada themed server and same rules will apply there @hoecu-mundo. You only need to apply once to gain entry into both servers.

Tattooed, pierced, edgy alt guy. Total scenester. 5'6, pale, freckled, dark scruffy hair, and I'm kinda squishy.

Who doesn't want their own whiny emo attention whore puppyfriend?~

Most often I come to this blog when I'm in a horrific lovedrunk masochistic mood, but feel free to keep in mind that I am also my owner of a cute little puppyboy, as well as both a switch and verse. as is my husband! There's the ever-present threat of my posts being more service-top and body worship centered, gentle daddydom-minded, or rather sadistic ♡ switchy brain go brrrrr. I welcome all kinds of interaction from all kinds of kinksters, so long as your age is in your bio and is over 18

♡♡♡ Being friends won't just pop out of nowhere, my dms are open~

For transparency's sake, I'm transmasc. a furry. chronically ill+disabled. and probably therian/definitely otherkin. I am out and very proud of my identity. Please don't try to win me over with any talk putting down men, animals, the disabled or robots. and please don't rb me to "men dni" blogs. I don't mind what words you use to refer to any parts of me. Clit, dick. pussy, hole. udders, chest. I don't mind ♡ when in doubt "puppycock", "cock socket" and "tits" are some faves. Please understand: I do struggle with dysphoria and dysmorphia, so patience is appreciated in regards to misgen and feminization kinks etc...

[rwbyfaunusfriend]

So I saw Candle's last post, and we spoke in DM's. We figured out how to get mods out of accounts, and Candle decide to step away and just start anew entirely. Before this blog goes away, if I do end up deleting it, I wanted to make this post so everyone that follows this account knows that you can find Candle's new blog at:

rubes-ever-after

I'll keep this blog up for a little while so the followers can migrate to that new account so Candle isn't starting from scratch, because they deserve better than that. Feel free to answer the poll and leave a reply/comment telling me if you all want this blog to stay up but deactivated, or are ok with it being deleted.

the great adventures of y/n tommy tubbo jack and ranboo - how y/n made friends with everyone

this is an extra to the great adventures series

requested: yes/no

warnings: cursing

tommy

you were actually friends with tommy when he was streaming to a few viewers, and you even watched as his channel grew. eventually he asked you to mod for him, as he knew he could trust you and because had experience being a twitch mod. he was also the reason you began streaming. as for how you met, you were in the same classes as him in highschool, and since you were the ‘quiet’ person in the class, they sat tommy next to you. honestly, you hated him when you first met him and the feeling was mutual. you didn’t want to sit next to the rather loud teenager and he had no one to talk to anymore as his friends were on the other side of the room.

“do you ever talk?”

“heh?”

“i said do you ever talk...do you always do that”

“do what”

“that fucking HeH.”

“are you mocking me simons?”

“noooo why would i do that...”

“it’s y/n.”

“right, yeah, yeah, i totally knew that.”

“great now please leave me alone i’m trying to work.”

“loser.”

“the fuck did you just say?”

“nothing.”

it was that moment tommy decided he was going to make you just like him, and a few years later that’s exactly what he did. by year 11 you and tommy had grown extremely close. the last day of school arrived a lot earlier than expected, everyone was extremely stressed, no one knew what to expect or what was going to happen. you found yourself hanging around with tommy a lot more as you had no idea if you would both be going to the same college, in september you received a text message that made your night:

tommy: college sent out emails telling you if you were accepted go check

*2 minutes later*

tommy: well?

y/n: i got accepted

tommy: me too

y/n: call me right now

tommy: i’m about to stream..have you ever considered streaming?

y/n: absolutely not

tommy: make an account and stream after me i’ll raid you..make me mod you know how people can be

once college started up, you were slightly nervous the two of you would drift away from each other. however this was far from the case, although you both did different subjects and he was only in on wednesdays, the pair of you would hang out together a lot more. he would be in your streams and vice versa, you would either be in his tiktoks, or you would be the one filming them.

“y/n make a tiktok we can be mutuals.”

“please god no.”

you spent so much time at his house either talking about random things, playing whatever game you could find, or streaming. he dragged you to every meet up he went on, allowing you to meet people such as niki, phil, and, wilbur. you didn’t know this, but he would constantly bring you up in conversations with dream, which eventually lead to you joining the smp in october where you would later be able to meet the likes of jack, technoblade and jschlatt. the only person you didn’t seem to see on the server was his other friend tubbo.

ranboo

you had become friends with scott after being his first twitch mod and when he noticed you started streaming, he was extremely supportive, always raiding your stream once he ended his. today you found yourself bickering with scott because he wouldn’t let you in mcc despite the fact you were ‘the best minecraft player.’

“y/n, i watched you die in minecraft 7 times last night within 5 minutes.”

“oh i’m sorry mr perfect, let me in mcc.”

“no.”

“fine i’ll make my own.”

and that’s exactly what you did..well you tried your best.

you started your stream as soon as scott ended and had him call you on discord after explaining to your chat what you were about to do.

“scott final chance let me in mcc, i’ll settle for access to the practice server.”

“fine.”

“REALLY?!”

“absolutely not!”

“fuck you, ill be in it one day!”

you left the call telling chat you didn’t need that negative energy in your life.

you really have scott to thank for you making friends with ranboo, scott made a tweet explaining what you were doing on stream which caught ranboos eye.

Smajor1995: after not making it into mcc again my good friend @y/n has decided to take it upon themselves to make their own on stream!! ill also be in the stream (if they answer my calls) *twitch link*

ranboo joined your stream and was instantly met with you yelling at scott (again) to let you in mcc.

“IM YOUR TWITCH MOD!”

“i will ban you from mcc!”

“you don’t have the nerve... so he left the call this is bullshit watch me land this water bucket clutch down this ravine so we can find axolotls and build an army.”

*you died*

you pulled your hood over your face before sinking down your chair taking a deep breath.

“FUCK!”

you calmly got back up and looked into your camera.

“i was so close, so very close.. HEY CHAT SCOTT SENT ME A LINK TO THE SERVER!”

a few minutes later you were able to get onto the server, only to be kicked less than a minute later. the reason you were banned being ‘i watched you fail the water bucket clutch down a ravine.’

you continued your build on your server and just spent the rest of the stream talking about anything that crossed your mind, that was until you decided to copy ace race. once finished, you looked into your camera and pulled your microphone closer to you.

“so this is race ace, so scott doesn’t sue me, and basically it’s going to be this course, but i’m going to change a random section practice it every day, not tell anyone it changed. of course i’m going to tell my team we have to win, oh fuck i forgot scott was watching my stream..it’s okay he didn’t hear me he’s too busy planning how he can rig the next mcc.”

ranboo found himself enjoying your content and even noticed you in his chat multiple times.

“just a minute chat i’m just sending an important dm to my mods.”

that’s when you noticed chat paused for a minute after you sent a message, it confused you for a minute before realising ranboo made you a vip on his channel and you decided to do the same for him on your channel, from there you added each other on discord. the pair of you made friends extremely quickly, you were constantly part of his streams as you would call him on discord not realising that he was streaming.

“hi y/n, by the way i’m streaming”

“i just wanted to ask if you knew how to break into a house?”

“....why”

“i locked myself out by accident and my parents are asleep come help me.”

“you are in the uk.”

“okay? catch a flight.”

chat honestly loved you and your friendship with ranboo. the pair of you only met a few weeks ago and you were already acting as though you had known each other for years.

jack

you and jack met for the first time on the smp, which would have been fine, however you met during lore and your characters weren’t exactly the best of friends. once lore had ended, everyone said their goodbyes and left the call. a few moments later you received a discord message from jack asking if you were available to call any time soon. since you were back in lockdown, you had plenty of free time. you arranged a time and date a few days later you called jack, where you had your first proper interaction out of character.

“hello jack!!”

“oh hi y/n i just thought it may be a good idea to get to know each other, well you know considering we’re both on the dream smp.”

“yeah, yeah, i understand what you mean.”

the pair of you ended up getting along with each other, it was slightly awkward for the first 5 minutes of the call, but that was expected since you hadn’t really met jack before and were anxious to call him. however, after that the conversation started to flow and you found out the pair of you had a lot in common making it easy to come up with things to talk about. it ended up feeling as though you were catching up with a friend you hadn’t spoken to for a while.

“has anyone told you your accent is really strong.”

“so is yours, y/n, what the fuck is that supposed to mean.”

“it means your accent is strong, duh.”

jack asked if you’d like to stay in call and join him on the smp whilst he streamed, and you gladly accepted the offer as you really didn’t want to do your college work, and you were enjoying your time with him. a few minutes into the stream jack had killed you several times.

“JACK STOP KILLING ME!”

rather than answering you he just sat laughing. he then went on to attempt to mute him microphone, he failed. however he didn’t realise this, so you sat listening to his plan on how he was going to kill you again. this time you were prepared, you sent a message to tommy telling him to log on along with your location. few minutes later tommy was by your side and helped you kill jack several times for revenge.

“Y/N...TOMMY!!”

“you didn’t mute your mic, so i told tommy you were bullying me.”

“im gonna go...BYE JACK, BYE Y/N, ILL SEE YOU SOON!”

“i can’t believe you.”

“hey you’re the one who didn’t turn your mic off.”

“how did you know?”

“i had your stream on my other monitor.”

“ayeee you watch my streams?”

“...i’ve been a sub for 4 months.”

the two of you stayed chatting and playing for another hour. the pair of you were already so close and you had only met each other the other day. this was just the start of your friendship, soon enough you were in a laugh and the stream ends challenge on his stream, however due to lockdown rules this was done over discord leading to you accidentally leaving the call several times.

“and they’re gone again!”

*4 minutes later*

“SORRY JACK IM BACK!”

“stop leaving y/n!”

“oh i’m sorry, let me just go yell at my wifi to stop cutting out!”

a few seconds later you could be heard faintly in the background screaming at your wifi as it would continue to buffer. as soon as restrictions were over one of the first things you decided to do was go to jacks and stream a laugh you lose where there was a punishment if you were responsible for losing the last heart. however everything was apparently hilarious in person as you would constantly laugh, meaning you were responsible for losing the last heart.

“y/n give me your phone.”

“no.”

“you lost let me tweet from your account”

“fine..”

soon enough your fans and friends with your notifications on received this twitter notification

“y/n: jack is so cool and funny he is also really tall i am not”

tubbo

tubbo was actually the last person you met and made friends with, your community were convinced for some reason that you both didn’t like each other and that’s why the pair of you didn’t talk to each other. this was far from the case you were both waiting for the right time, tubbo was an extremely busy teenager and you didn’t want to interrupt him, and tubbo knew you were currently in a stressful position since you had recently joined the dream smp, also you were still meeting people so he didn’t want to stress you out. this doesn’t mean he didn’t want to be your friend, he actually asked tommy since he had been your friend for at least 4 years what would be the best way of getting to know you.

“mate they hated me when we first met, just talk to them or something. you could have met them the last time i went up to visit you, but they ended up not feeling too good and went back to the hotel room.”

“when are you next coming up?”

“how about next week, and i’ll bring y/n, i really don’t understand why you’re nervous tubbo, it’s y/n they wouldn’t hurt a fly..well hmm.”

“see you next week then!”

a week later tommy dragged you to the train station.

“uh tommy where are we going?”

“...on a train.”

“no way, really? oh my god!”

a few hours later you finally got off the train.

“ill go with my dad to check into the hotel room, do you want to come with us or?”

“i think i’ll go for a walk and stretch my legs.”

“right okay, meet you at the beach later”

you spent a few minutes walking around the beach picking up any rocks and shells that caught your eye, little did you know it would result in you meeting tubbo. once you finished putting your new collection in your pockets you noticed a small crowd of people walk up to someone asking for pictures assuming it was tommy you walked over to the boy, it wasn’t tommy it was in fact tubbo. at first you stayed silent not wanting to really cause attention to yourself. you only spoke up when some people started to make inappropriate comments towards him.

“oh sorry to be a pain guys me and tubbo have plans with tommy in a few minutes, we should go so we’re not late. bye guys.”

you smiled and waved as they walked away. you looked over to tubbo, you could tell he was still pretty anxious about what just happened and honestly if you was in his position, you would react the same way.

“we should probably move from here incase they come back and see you’re still here, are you okay?”

“im feeling better now it’s over..thank you”

“oh it’s no problem i’m, y/n btw.”

“wait you and tommy were still meant to be on the train.”

“the train was actually on time, tommy went to check into the hotel i wanted to stretch my legs, i also wanted to collect some rocks.”

“did you collect enough or did you want more?”

“im not going to say no if you wanna go collect some with me.”

the pair of you walked around keeping each other close incase the people from before returned. half an hour later, the pair of you sat on a bench close to the beach so you could show tubbo everything you decided to pick up, he ended up keeping a rock he liked to have as a memory. tubbo wrapped an arm around you as it was getting cold whilst you watched the sunset.

“tubbo i think tommy forgot about me.”

“you can spend the night at mine, i’ll send him a message to let him know.”

“are you sure?”

“of course!”

“this has to be the most unsafe thing either of us will ever do, we hardly know each other and now i’m staying at yours.”

tommy sent you a message explaining that he didn’t forget, there was a problem at the other hotel and they had to go find another one, but you’ll be fine to stay at tubbos for the night. the pair of you spent the entire night learning as much as you can about the other person. it had only been an evening but you already knew the pair of you would be great friends.

this man knows how to cook, change my mind. he's probably had to take care of himself after daiya passed, so he had to learn how to cook or else he would've been eating fast food for every meal.

also knows how to make smoothies for you since he's had to make them ever since he started working out. just name any fruit you like and he'll find a way to make a great tasting drink.

his favorite thing to cook for you is anything that isn't sweets. he may be able to cook food but he can't bake to save his life. one time you came home to see your oven almost exploded because mondo couldn't figure out temperatures.

you know that really typical thing when a muscular man is doing push ups and they ask their s/o to go on his back to put some weight on it? that happens every time you're at his house when he's working out.

he has a whole gym in one room of his house, and he sometimes makes you work out with him. whether its something like cardio, or weights, he has the equipment for it.

do any of you remember when bakugo from bnha canonically slept at around 8pm? that's also mondo. he sleeps at a surprisingly early and healthy time, and no one expects it. he even encourages you to sleep healthy too.

he has to wake up really early to do his hair, so in the morning you'll hear him cursing to himself as he tries to style his hair perfectly. it has waken you up a few times during the early morning, but it makes for some very funny conversations.

his body has this habit of hugging you in your sleep. since he almost always sleeps earlier than you, when you're in the middle of using your phone at 11 pm, you can feel his arms wrap around you as he continues to sleep, its like muscle memory for him to cuddle up to you.

every other day he comes home with a dog and asks you if you two can keep it. you love the dogs as well, but you really can't have 14 puppies roaming around your guys' dorm, its already chaotic enough with taka, chihiro and leon constantly visiting.

its really funny to see him play games like minecraft and genshin impact with the rest of his friend group. everytime he dies, he gets very loud. it makes you laugh, and later you have to baby him because he doesn't feel so great after leon and yasuhiro laughed at him for killing his character for the 20th time. it does give you two the best cuddle sessions, though.

is just a very sweet and caring s/o. he doesn't seem like it at first sight, but he treats you so well. he knows that you're amazing and should be treated as such.

you two are practically helpless when it comes to eating togther. you guys either have to get take out or ask your friends to cook for you two, hajime doesn't know how to cook (well, he can, but it won't taste that great.) and if you dont know how to either, then you're both screwed.

he does follow whatever you say, though. any time that you comment on a habit of his that you want him to change, leaving certain things out, forgetting to put stuff back, etc. etc... he'll immediately get rid of that routine, just say the word.

the man may not know how to cook, but he knows how to do every other chore. hajime's not the best at any of it, but he's definitely trying! his mom probably taught him how to do basic chores so he could atleast handle himself decently if he ever lived alone.

lets you take all the blankets, and never dares to wake you up. the guilty feeling of waking up a sleeping dog or cat is exactly what he feels when he accidentally woke you up once. would rather stay cold and tell his bladder to deal with it than to even dare waking you up.

he's one of those people that really likes to go furniture shopping. you probably have a few unusual decorations because hajime thought they looked cool and decided to buy them.

boardgames!! you and him get so competitive when playing monopoly or uno, and you two play it so often that people in the other dorm question if you're having a fight, when in reality you're having a petty argument about the rule for the parking lot slot.

goes to sleep at the normal 11pm, and wakes up at around 5-6am, very regular. what isn't regular though, is his eating schedule. there are times when he somehow forgets to eat breakfast and lunch.

plays animal crossing with chiaki. his island is also pretty standard, but he did draw a small replication of an actual photo that you both took before. its on a canvas in his island. he shows this to you immedaitely, then later to any of his friends that join his game.

doesn't know much about housing issues and bills, so he sort of just lets you handle it. he'll give his share, but he'll make you pay it to the bank. to compensate for this, he does every household chore for you.

is a pretty standard boyfriend roommate. very kind and respectful of your space, and doesn't try to disturb you as much. overall, 10/10.

the most fun roommate. sure, you two are eating very unhealthy food everyday, and your sleeping schedules are probably a wreck, but he's such an interesting person to have as an s/o.

sleep? whats that? all you two know is staying up until 4am to rewatch a really old show that you both remembered from your childhood, for the nostalgia.

he likes white noise, so you're almost always consuming media with him. when you two are eating breakfast, you're also choke laughing at an episode of a sitcom show that he found while scrolling.

will not leave you alone, ever. but thats meant to be in a good way! don't worry. he'll just follow you around the house sometimes, especially when he just woke up. its like a baby cub following their parent around because they don't know what else to do.

is on autopilot until he has breakfast, so until then he'll just say very short and tired sentences to you as he follows you around. will also hug you during this time since he's still tired and wants to lean onto something.

theres never a moment of silence when you get together with him. he can and will talk at every given moment, but its always something funny or interesting.

collects dinosaur toys, colorful and unique pens, as well as really funny notebooks that have a weird cover. he has a bunch of these collected, and its always a delight to see him so happy whenever you two are walking by a store and he sees a funny looking dinosaur.

does not know how to cook or clean, so he just hires somebody else to do it. if its either from the app, or one of the ultimates in the school, he'll find some way to make others do it. he's not about to create another dangerous chemical mixture while he's trying to clean the toilet.

while mondo can cook and not bake, he can't cook but he can bake! often makes you cupcakes with your favorite filling inside them and your favorite color as the decorations. maki and kaede most likely taught him how to make these, out of force.

has this journal where he writes everything he feels, and you're often mentioned in it. you accidentally found it while you were looking through his clothes, and while you did read it, you'd never tell him that. you do think its cute that he wrote something like that about you, though.

would be extremely bored and extremely cursed if he lived alone, so he's really thankful that you're there to help him and be the best s/o ever. appreciates you very much, and he shows this by baking you things. genuinely loves you so much, and could not imagine his life without you.

[goldheartedsky]

I told myself I wasn’t going to make a post like this—that I wasn’t going to stoop to the level of making call-out posts—but I really can’t stay silent after what has happened in the last day or so.

The TOG fandom has a serious issue with excusing antisemitism and allowing people who have painfully hurt marginalized groups to continue to ignore, dismiss, and refuse to acknowledge their limits of intersectionality in regards to social justice. I have seen it myself, been on the receiving end of it, and have talked to other Jews in this fandom about what’s been going on and it needs to start being addressed.

Now, I’m not going to name names or tag people (mainly because I have been blocked by almost all of them for this very issue) but if you message me I will gladly tell you the users involved in this. Also, if you have doubts of any of this’s validity and would like screenshots, feel free to reach out to me here or via Discord and I will share them.

A lot of this started when a member of the All&More server had brought up the scientific and medical “discoveries” during the torture and medical experimentation that took place during the Third Reich and how a lot of the origin of it isn’t taught. LR made a comment saying that “we are three-dimensional creatures who are stuck moving forward in time and can’t go back” and added that not using the research won’t make past horrors not happen. When the original user added that there has been a movement in medicine for removing Nazi scientists names off discoveries and that progress was slow moving, she deflected the conversation onto herself, saying “Not using research won’t make my family not harmed by the Japanese” and then immediately pivoted into admitting that, from what she understood, there weren’t any particularly valid scientific discoveries made by them. She then said, in regards to said Nazi atrocities, “Take it, learn about it, put it in context, and then own it and transform it.”

A Jewish member of A&M voiced their discomfort about possibly taking medicine that was a direct result of the murder of their grandparents and other relatives, to which LR said, “Still stuck in the 3rd dimension, still moving forward in time.” I brought up the fact that medicine was built on antisemitism and racism and that starting over would be better than a lot of the procedures we have now. There is a longstanding issue in medicine of disregarding black pain and so much of what we have now is created by eugenicists—including Nazi scientists. There is still a lot of Jewish trauma due to medical experimentation and that is oftentimes dismissed.

LR then made a flippant comment about “Does this count as Godwin’s Law?”—which is about how all internet discussions lead to someone being compared to Nazis/Hitler. When called out on the inappropriateness of the comment, she did not respond and was backed up by one of the mods of the server. There was no apology made nor an acknowledgment about the casual antisemitism of the comments she made and the dismissal of Jewish trauma/pain.

Now, fast forward a couple months when I was contacted by a third party who had not been in the server at the time but had joined and heard about what LR had said there. H said they were friends with LR and had concerns about antisemitism and would like my perspective. I explained what had happened and offered screenshots if they would like them, which they did. They thanked me and apologized that it got to a point that I felt unsafe in the server and had to leave, which I appreciated.

A couple weeks later they reached out to me again and offered to broker a conversation between LR and myself because the situation wasn’t sitting well with them. I was skeptical (because I had been blocked at that point) and didn’t have a lot of hope that this conversation would actually take place but I felt a responsibility to try and be the bigger person and deal with what had been said head on, so I agreed to sit down and have a discussion with her as long as there was a third party in the chat as well—given our history.

After a couple weeks of back and forth with H and hearing that LR had said that she would “think about it”, she finally agreed. I was asked for a time and date and I gave my availability and was told she would be asked for the same. A couple days later, I was suddenly told LR would only be comfortable with this conversation if H acted as a “literal go-between” with us copy-pasting our responses in their DMs so we can “sit with the message and everyone can get to them when they can” rather than it being a session with an actual back and forth and was asked if I was okay with that. I honestly said no, because this was supposed to be a situation where she and I sat down and discussed what she said in the server, not a back and forth message relay where the conversation got dragged out for days or weeks or however long it was going to take. I said if she was serious about meeting me halfway on this, she needed to be able to sit down and actually talk.

H copy-pasted my response to LR and came back that she had backed out of the conversation, which part of me had expected from the beginning—even though all I wanted from this sit down was for her to understand how hurtful the antisemitic comments were and an apology.

These comments that were made in the server are not a secret. It’s pretty well known what was said and again, these were all on record, not privately made in some DM. She has still not owned up to the comments she said, nor has she ever apologized for them. She has ignored message after message about them and blocked more people than I can count. Many of the people defending her when the discourse begins have also been messaged about the comments she’s said and also either block people or ignore the messages completely and refuse to acknowledge them.

Now, this being said, in the most recent conversation about fandom racism, someone brought up the post that was made reducing users on ao3 to faceless, nameless numbers without saying who they were, what they had done, and how they were specifically contributing to the problem of racism in this fandom. They made the comparison of other situations like HR looking at pay stats to see how to fire and included “Nazis, capitalists, and colonizers.”

This is not an invalid argument. There have been other Jews in the fandom who specifically voiced feeling uncomfortable for the exact same reason. However, another person, LT, decided to specifically make a post calling the OP out and drag them for having the audacity to liken it to the Shoah (which, mind you, this person is not Jewish nor did they decide to capitalize Shoah or the Holocaust as they should have). She received a reply saying, “you’re offended by antisemitism? Here’s LR’s (someone LT has agreed with multiple times over racism in fandom) track record of antisemitic comments” which outlined everything I delved into previously.

LT said that they were “unaware of this incident until a couple days ago” but agreed that it was an upsetting display of casual dismissal of Jewish pain and hoped that LR had apologized. She was then called out for being aware of it and still continuing to reblog LR’s posts even after knowing about the comments and was linked to my post clarifying that LR had not apologized and refused a discussion about it, to which LT said that she had gotten “quite a different version outlined in the post linked and corroborated by a third party” and “felt uncomfortable” making a value judgement, insinuating that I was not being truthful about my side of the story.

I messaged LT off-anon and said that I was not lying nor over-exaggerating about what had happened in the server or about the following discussion about trying to broker a conversation with LR, and was immediately blocked by her. I am also not the only Jew who has sent her messages about this topic, only to have their messages ignored.

Now, am I surprised that I was immediately blocked after voicing my issues with what LT had said in that post? No.

She has a history of making antisemitic comments, most of which happened during the brunt of the Israel/Palestine discussion happening, which included statements such as “You cannot be considered indigenous if you hold a position of power”, that, despite having been displaced for 2,000 years, the Jewish diaspora was “integrated” into their respective communities (a wholly untrue statement), as well as linked to and promoted a website with extremely antisemitic articles including one about “Spartan Jews” and how Israeli Jews are violent to “send messages to their deprived self-esteem” that they won’t be victims again. Half of the comments on the site’s front page included such hits as “Death to all Jews” and “Wow, I had no idea this was happening—I guess it is true that Jews control the world and the mass media.” This website was repeated in multiple posts as “unbiased” and “a good resource” for other people to truly know what was going on.

Jewish dissent on the content of some posts and that website went unacknowledged and dismissed.

Being that LT is a relatively big user in the TOG fandom, her posts got circulated frequently. Seeing things like that touted as unbiased was extremely triggering for me and multiple Jews in this fandom that I’ve spoken to.

Now, the reason I made this post in particular was because I have seen a lot of echoing of the sentiment: “no matter how much you disagree with their sentiment, aligning yourself with racists is...well aligning yourself with racists.”

This statement NEEDS to become intersectional. If we are criticizing the work of people because of who they hold company with, why does that end at racism? If we are going to have a discussion about racism in this fandom, why are we letting it come from people who have openly said antisemitic things, people who have stood by them and supported them in silence, and people who have silenced Jewish voices speaking up about this issue.

These are not separate issues. This is a really good post regarding the white washing of Jews in social justice discussion and it comes full circle into the medical experimentation discussion. Jews were not seen as white during the Holocaust. The Nazis were trying to cleanse the Aryan race because they did not view Jews as white. They experimented on them because they did not view them as white and, thus, disposable.

Every Jewish diasporic community is still vulnerable. Even though the US has half the world’s Jews, over 50% of the religiously based hate crimes are consistently anti-Jewish even though Jews make up 2% of the population. Chinese Jews are still holding their holiday celebrations in secret due to government crackdowns. The attempted genocide of Beta Israel was less than 50 years ago. Across the Middle East and North Africa, Jewish communities are barely hanging on after centuries of attempted destruction. These are not just Jewish issues but racial issues as well because when people make the sweeping generalization of “Jew” and they only mean white-passing Ashkenazi Jews, it erases so much of our community.

I absolutely agree that this fandom needs to have a discussion about race and portrayal in fic and what we can do better moving forward—and I want to see that done—but we also need to acknowledge what so many people starting this discussion have said and the marginalized groups they have hurt along the way. I see these posts come across my dashboard and know exactly who they're coming from and what they think of people like me. If we are going to say, “No matter how much you disagree with their sentiment, aligning yourself with racists is aligning yourself with racists,” then we NEED to be saying, “If you are aligning yourself with antisemites, you’re aligning yourself with antisemites.”

We all need to move forward. But that means moving forward together. Jews included.

hi there! i've been lurking around the zine posts on twt for the longest time but i always chicken out of it in the end. most of the time it's because i don't think they fit my current schedule but also because i have no idea how to make a portfolio for writers??? i was wondering if you happened to have any advice? if you don't, that's fine too!! you seemed like the nicest person to ask (and i love your energy too so) thank you anyway and stay safe!! <3

hi anon!! this is completely valid and i know some who have had the same dilemma, so don’t worry!

to be honest, in regards to writing for zines, most of the time i’ve been invited as a guest writer….. so my experience with the application side of things is kinda limited ^^;;;; but i’ll offer what i can!

• each zine will have different guidelines for your portfolio (e.g. # of samples, link to individual fics, or a link to a google doc with Everything on it, samples max 1k words, max 2.5k words etc etc) so it’s important to read the application form properly and send the zine a message via cc/retrospring or twitter dm to clarify anything that’s unclear

• because of the above, ideally you wanna build up a new portfolio for each application, tailored to the themes of the zine or pitch that you are thinking of doing (which often you’ll write in the application form), but if you don’t have a wide range of works to choose from then pick whatever you’re most proud of/showcases your style best 👍

• if you’re using a lot of excerpts in your portfolio i think it’s a good idea to leave a link to the original fic as well. that way the mods can choose to read further if they want to :’D

• most zine app guidelines will mention this, but just in case: make sure to tag any content warnings for the samples that need it!

• even if you already have a bunch of great work you can showcase, keep writing! and if you can, experiment with all sorts of writing styles! they don’t even have to be published. i’ve seen interviews, folk tales, articles, recipes, all sorts of stuff written for the zines i’ve been in. i know cooking zines, fashion zines and the likes are quite popular so if you want to apply for one of those, having samples that showcase your versatility would be incredibly helpful.

• last thing i would say is don’t stress too much :’) ❤️ zine applications aren’t job applications, if you don’t think your portfolio is ‘perfect’, give it a shot anyways!

hope this helps, best of luck if you’re applying to any zines in the future!! 💕

if you have any other questions feel free to hop into my asks again. or you can ask my friend @/frydough about general zine stuff since he has infinitely more experience than me with modding and contributing for zines ajdbfj

I'm about to participate in my first zine which is making me nervous/excited. Do you have any advice about composition and colors? I definitely want to make sure the image doesn't appear too dark in print form and my contrast in my shading is visible.

Yooo congratulations!!! :D :D :D That’s so exciting! 

And ahh sure I can offer some advice! :>

I wish I could break this up in smaller chunks but this hellsite’s bullet point system is GARBAGE so sorry in advance for the giant blocks of text

Pay attention to bleed guidelines! Let’s say you’re in a zine and one of the mods shares the dimensions of the book with you. For example, “2550 px x 3300 px at 300dpi, plus a 4mm bleed.” You probably know this, but the bleed of a page is sort of like the “danger zone” lmao. The bleed may end up being cropped in order to fit your piece into the book. You basically don’t want to put anything important in the bleed area. You should still absolutely fill the areas-- most zines expect pieces that utilize the entire page-- but don’t stick anything important there, like text in a comic, or half of someone’s face, or details that you really want to see. (Some zines provide contributors with templates that not only let you immediately access a document of the correct dimensions for the zine, but also include the bleed! Never take these mods for granted, they’re very awesome to do that hahaha) ;;

Color’s a bit trickier since, if you’re working digitally, every monitor can show you something different and it can be hard to tell if something looks right. :/ But don’t worry!

Printed media is done in CMYK color! Digital media is typically done in RBG color! You’ll notice that CMYK is... much duller than RGB haha. Certain programs like Photoshop will let you switch between RGB and CMYK on the fly as you’re working, which is pretty useful. While you’re coloring, most art programs will let you know if you’re using a color in RGB that won’t be supported in CMYK, so try to adjust if you find yourself dabbling too much in unsupported palettes. Most zines offer physical and digital versions and will ask you to submit RGB and CMYK versions of your piece. Once you finish your work in one color mode, save it, then switch to the other color mode and make adjustments as necessary. 

Be wary of working with too much dark color. That’s not to say you should steer clear of dark pieces-- you just need to be mindful of how dark your piece gets. Because in CMYK, colors tend to darken and smooth out, so if you submit something too dark, your piece might not look as awesome as it does on your screen :( I’m not one of those artists who’d tell you to never color with black, but I would suggest avoiding trying to blend with black and, say, dark blue or dark purple in print. I feel like that would run a huge risk of being too dark in print. If you have the means to access a color printer, you can try printing your zine piece to see if it turns out okay! :D I understand this can be a costly and wasteful use of a printer if it’s just for testing purposes-- I only have a black and white printer at home myself-- but if you’re really worried and you have a color printer... *shrugs*

Communicate. Most zines will use a Discord server to stay in touch with everyone. If you don’t have a Discord and don’t want to make one, make sure you are constantly checking your e-mail or social media DMs for updates and requests from your mod team. It can be very hard as a mod if you spend weeks and weeks trying to get a hold of a contributor that’s suddenly gone ghost ;___;

Don’t be afraid to ask the mods questions! Your mods are there to help you. They know the ins and outs of the zine-- what the dimensions are, how the zine will be formatted, submission folders, etc. (They should also be able to help advise you if you should make any color adjustments to your piece, to tie into my last point!) If you need an extension for a check-in, don’t hesitate to do so, but DO try to ask in advance instead of on check-in day. As someone who’s experienced a string of emergencies this year that caused me to request last-minute extensions on deadlines, I know that this isn’t always possible. But let’s say you’re swamped with school or you have a very important work event near a deadline that’s taking up much of your free time and energy. Let the mods know you’re swamped. If they’re good mods (which I’m sure they are), they will be understanding and happy to work with you by offering an extension that will help suit your needs. Of course, there are hard deadlines in every project with expectations from manufacturers and promised release dates, so if you find yourself overwhelmed or unable to submit your piece for the zine by a certain point, you may not be able to submit a piece. But life happens. Be kind to yourself <3

Don’t be shy to interact with other contributors too! :> (Hypocritical of me since I’m very shy and don’t talk very much in the zine servers I’m in except for Sora Zine but I was a mod for that zine so I had to be more present lmao) But here is a group of awesome creators who share a passion with you! :> Share memes, talk about your faves, share WIPs, ask for advice! :D You might leave a zine with some new friends :3

Have fun! I remember how nervous I was when I worked on my first zine piece, but try to remember to have fun when you work on it! Pick a concept that you’ll enjoy working on that will challenge your creativity but not overwhelm you. Try to work on your piece from check-in to check-in, gradually over time, instead of just cramming everything into the night before a deadline. Your piece will come out better for it, and you’ll save yourself a lot of stress and late nights. :>

Again, congrats on getting into your first zine-- many happy returns, if you’re so inclined to join more <3

if we used to share a discord server, this post is for you!

hello! i am going to try to do this as anonymously and non-confrontationally as possible. i do not want this to be a spectacle or call out post, but i will say that i am quite disturbed by the way situations have transpired on the server. 

in case you didn’t notice, i left! when i left, i wrote a little goodbye post in #general, which has since been deleted. either the mods deleted my goodbye or they banned me from the server (which automatically would delete my message). in case you didn’t see it, here was my goodbye message:

hi everyone, i’m leaving the server. if you’re a POC who is interested in joining an ATLA server where POC can talk about ATLA and critically discuss race, feel free to PM me for a link! otherwise, this is goodbye. see you all around.

i won’t rehash everything that happened in the events leading to this, nor will i name names in this post. if you were on the server, you probably saw what happened publicly or you can message me personally, either here or on discord. if we know each other through the server and you want some clarity over names/events in this post, please PM me. 

if you are a POC in the ATLA fandom who is concerned by the events of this post and you would like me to clarify which server i’m talking about, please PM me.

i just wanted to share the very long message that i sent to the mods (on their prompting!) because i feel that it shows my perspective on what transpired.  unfortunately, this message did not result in any meaningful change, except for me getting banned/my messages removed from the server. i suppose that’s a type of meaning! haha. 

anyway. here’s the message. cw for racism, yellowface

hi MOD 1 (and presumably the other mods who will read this message)! thanks for reaching out. i’ve had some time to dwell on the situation and discuss it with other people in the server who witnessed it and reached out to me personally. this is going to be an unbelievably long message, so i apologize in advance and thank you for your time in reading it.

i think the first thing i’d like to do is give some context for the incident and to give my perspective on why i said the things i said.

i have PMed a mod about a racist incident in the server exactly once. it was when i first joined, and i saw a picture of a white person in yellowface in the cosplay channel. i didn’t know any of you personally yet (and this was before some of you even joined on as mods). i have since told SERVER MEMBER 1 about this incident and i’m pretty sure they mentioned it to you because i noticed you’ve changed the yellowface rule. but i think that the context of me pinging a mod about a racist incident and then witnessing another (although less egregious) instance of racism by the mods might explain why i am, in general, hesitant about talking to mods about racism on the server. i am just trying to live my life and experience as few micro-aggressions as possible.

i also think the fact that i regularly educate and push back against white people’s racially harmful messages in the server is also important context. i realize none of you likely know this, but about every two weeks i receive an unsolicited PM from a different white person apologizing/asking for forgiveness/asking for reassurance/asking further questions about their racism on the server. i’m glad people are learning from me, but this is a huge amount of emotional labor that i put into the server and its members because of course i have to reply and explain things and tell them not to worry and thank them for apologizing, etc. i know that these messages aren’t your fault, nor am i asking you to do anything about this. but it feels important that you know the price that i (and perhaps other poc in the server, although i can’t speak to that) pay in order to share space with you.

MOD 2 has even messaged me personally to thank me for educating people in the server and responding to racist messages, saying: “really appreciate how much effort you put in and everything, i was trying to type something up but floundering badly.” it was a nice message, and i appreciated it a lot! it also led me to believe that the mods would prefer if i engage with racist messages myself, rather than ping them, because it felt like i was just going to be more able/willing to articulate a response anyway.

so when SERVER MEMBER 2 messaged the zukka channel “thought that lives in my head rent free: Sokka's hairstyle in canon is just a warrior's hairstyle and has meaning because of that. Sokka wearing the same hairstyle in a modern AU is undisputably queer-coded” and nobody replied for a while, i assumed that it was because they had seen what i had seen-- a racially insensitive message that totally ignores sokka’s indigenous heritage and the history behind indigenous hair-- so i decided to step in with what i thought was a balanced response. 

SERVER MEMBER 2 then replied with a cheery “Fair enough! I will defer to your greater knowledge,” which i couldn’t tell was sarcastic or not, but i decided to be generous and to believe they were genuinely thankful for my reply, so i responded with a “you too can have great knowledge. i only know things because i read things. anyone can read things and learn,” which is something i firmly believe and also a way to divert the conversation away from SERVER MEMBER 2’s mistake, which i felt was the most dignified solution for them. i suppose this message could be read as aggressive because i didn’t use exclamation marks? but that feels unfair and ungenerous because i genuinely did not mean this message in a harsh way.

then SERVER MEMBER 3 jumped in and asked a few questions, which i read as a request for clarification, so i tried to continue to explain my point. it felt like SERVER MEMBER 3 wasn’t understanding what i was trying to explain, or at least i wasn’t able to articulate myself well enough, which was making me a little tired and stressy (and i was also thinking about my own race and queerness in stressful and triggering ways), so i decided to tap out of the conversation. 

me: dude i love u and i respect u and i truly believe that u are trying very hard to understand, but this conversation is making me kinda heated

SERVER MEMBER 3: I’m gonna step back from it because it’s not my conversation to insert myself into, which is what I did initially and apologize for

me: i think it's so important to engage + ask questions & i appreciate that u respect my opinions on these things, but i think i'm just. i have said what i need to say and now must sleep. much love to all.

to me, this felt like me expressing that i was feeling tired and upset and leaving the conversation, while still attempting to reassure SERVER MEMBER 3 that i still admired him as a friend. i felt like the conversation had ended peacefully!

i hope this helps explain why MOD 3’s message came as such a surprise. 

“the escalation to defensiveness and accusation regarding the original (relatively benign) statement was unnecessary and exaggerated. There’s an atmosphere of purity policing that’s been growing, which is why I took away the squick channel, as I assumed that a space that encouraged no repercussions was facilitating irresponsibility aggressive arguments. “

i truly didn’t believe i was being defensive. i was very careful not to accuse anyone of anything. in fact, i tried as far as i could to coat my language in “i” statements-- “i would personally not choose…”, “i would just. stay away from…” in order to avoid “accusations.” i was also trying very hard not to be aggressive, and i (and other poc that i have spoken to about this) believe that the idea that my messages were aggressive is racialized. just because a poc is upset about racism, it doesn’t mean they’re attacking you personally! 

i feel so hurt that my messages were wilfully interpreted in this way, instead of being read generously and from a more compassionate perspective, especially since i voiced my own upset and discomfort during the conversation. it distresses me to think that me expressing negative emotions is seen as aggressive, rather than a cause for empathy or care, and i do believe that this is because of my race.

if a mod had asked me to take the messages to the DMs or to squick or even just let me know that someone was interpreting my messages as aggressive, i would have changed my behavior. (like i said earlier, i spend a HUGE amount of energy coddling white people on this server. i am very used to it.) 

instead, i got the shock of 45 minutes after the fact, being publicly chastised and labeled as aggressive and being told that my conversation was “something nasty or unwanted.” 

the idea that SERVER MEMBER 3 was de-escalating a “clearly escalating situation” feels untrue to me. i was ready to move on after i sent my message to SERVER MEMBER 2, but he kept engaging me on the subject! (no hate to SERVER MEMBER 3 on this.)

i think one of the most painful parts of this whole situation is the implication that i was attempting to “purity police,” as though i am a person who picks fights just because i want to feel good about picking fights?? or to act holier-than-thou???? i do not do this. if you have witnessed ANY interaction i’ve had with a racially insensitive white person on the server, you will know this. 

i am simply a person of color trying to live my life. i do not want to fight about racism. i want to chill out and watch my cartoons. unfortunately, sometimes, someone will say something that i consider racially insensitive and i will do my best to engage and explain why i find this insensitive. that is all. (it is important to note that most of the time, when i see racially insensitive things on the server, i do not say anything because i am tired and it is a lot of effort to engage. i truly only engaged this time because nobody had replied to the message and i was just like, oh, fine, i guess i’ll educate, since no one else has!)

this whole incident has honestly made me really hurt and disrespected. i have enjoyed my time on the server and i have made some good friends there. however, it feels clearer and clearer to me that the server is a space where white feelings of safety (not being criticized for their racist content) are prioritized over poc’s feelings of safety (not having to witness and experience racist content). i sincerely considered myself to be an active and enthusiastic member of the server, maybe even friends with some of you, but it feels to me that all of our previous positive interactions have been displaced by this idea of me as an aggressive, overzealous purity cop who calls things racist for fun. 

i don’t even know how to repair my relationship with the server after this because i really do feel horrible and sick about the whole thing. i have spoken to other poc who also expressed their concerns about the way the mods handled the situation, even if these other poc weren’t directly involved, and some of us are considering leaving the server, if we haven’t already. (i would also like to note that these people reached out to me, unprompted, to make sure i was doing okay after what they and i interpreted as a micro-aggression by the mods. like, we independently read the situation in this way.)

(also, not sure if this matters, but i talked to SERVER MEMBER 3 the morning after the incident because i wanted to make sure he was okay, and we both ended up apologizing to each other and having a really good and productive talk.)

thanks again for reading this. i hope that you’ll be able to better understand my perspective on what occurred. i truly appreciate the work that you put into the server (especially as someone who also puts work into the server lol), and i know it’s difficult to mod a large server (i also mod an atla server!), but i continue to feel hurt about this. i know it’s hard to read tone over server messages, but i really wish that my (and SERVER MEMBER 4′s and SERVER MEMBER 5′s ) server messages had been read with greater compassion. 

...

and that’s all folks! i’m going to be remaking my blog soon, partially because this whole experience has exhausted me and partially because i have been meaning to anonymize my internet presence for some time.
