Anyone also returning to superhell after many years sober and want to do a complete rewatch together (maybe as a lead up to a s16 revival shhh)? I need the emotional support for this and my therapist can only hear so much :((

#how do you make friends on this site?#I don’t feel equipped to make post or content since I never finished the show #but I have so many thoughts and feelings and devoted years of my early life to this show :/#basically #There are people feelings that I want to experience differently than I have before #or maybe even for the first time #destiel #spn #deancas #spn thoughts #s1 rewatch #someone be my friend on here since I can’t find any irl #dean winchester

I finished posting the unabashedly educational Sword Fic.

It includes a detailed (but hopefully beginner-friendly) explanation of all the steps of making a Nichirin blade from a sunny mountain like Mt. Youkou, a touch of swordsmith and metalworker folk lore (including demons), meta about what must make Kimetsu no Yaiba's swordsmithing methods different from real life methods, some character exploration for Haganezuka and his polishing method, vocabulary and additional resources in the chapter notes, and hopefully, an endearing, silly POV character to learn this all through.

#my fics #SWORDS SWORDS SWORDS #would you like a story about the years of background of this fic?#I was not very well-versed in metallurgy until recent years but my study of the Japanese language goes back to #well #longer than some of you may have been around #I always liked samurai and swords for the aesthetic but started to take more of an interest when I lived in Shimane #and on a day when I had a friend taking me around to rural sites associated with a legendary monster she was like #let's go see the sword museum while you're out here #but that museum was closed (it comes back into this story though)#so we went to a different one that no longer exists but that was my first encounter with how much work it takes to make the sword ore #fast forward years later #I am writing this blog and it becomes known as a fun place to read about Japanese culture as seen in KnY (thanks glad you enjoy)#I decide that I must tell people how hard it is to make the ore and finally visit that main museum on a trip back to Shimane #I collect material and struggle to do more research and wrap my head around it #and I write the first version of Teppi's story that focused mostly on the smelting and glazed over the forging and polishing and stuff #meanwhile I am in a job situation I have already long since wanted out of and soon I want out a lot more desperately #job searches were disheartening but then I found THE ONE I WANTED #and on that first interview when I was already like PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE #they asked if there's a Japanese cultural topic I could suddenly explain in great detail if asked #and without mentioning this blog I said I had recently written up something for fun about tatara smelting methods (and they forgot this)#fast forward again and I very happily got the job and was very nervous as I got the rundown on a very large annual nerd project #and when they announced the topics for that year I saw that tatara smelting methods in the region I knew them from was on the list #and I was like #asudyaiusdyuasdyuahduahduhsdhuPLEASE GIVE ME THAT #and i got it and when I went out there for research people were like #...why do you know all this...???????#and since I dared not mention my KnY blog I was like #...I lived in Shimane...#it seems I broke the tags because the rest of the story got cut off but hi yes you get the idea

indeed my exact process once every 8 months or so

#I just thought today of a new way to format a 'profile' (like the descriptions of self that people use on friend meeting #apps and stuff) and how to organize the sections so that it seems such and such a way and oh what if there's links which click off #into branching paths so it's very acessible and there are two different forms depending on so on and so forth #and i was like 'um.. wow. amazing idea. this will be soooo aweseome and will definitely work' but then .. you know...self reflection #lol.. is this just like the millions of other iterations of a similar thing? No.. This Is Different ... Surely...#Though if I had a millionaire friend and a few people who do the type of coding you use for web design stuff and etc..#I could create the most elaborate detailed and amazing platonic friend seeking (and I guess you could also have 'dating' as an option #since that would draw in more of a crowd) website on the earth.. the new okcupid (back when okcupid didn't suckishly abandon their #whole format in hopes of trying to become just like tinder or whatever and they actually had like tons of info and percentages and #open answer questions and would list personality traits on a profile (like 'this person is more Open To New Expereinces than 65% of #other users' etc.). etc. etc. Oh what a beautiful thing I could craft for the detail freaks of the world.... Alas...#unfortunately we seem to be in an oversimplification era.. everything in short quick bites. everything on a tiny phone screen. etc.#marketing 'Introducing The Most Complicated Data Heavy Social Connection Site In The World' would not sell well I'd imagine gjhgjh #AANYWAY.. also no idea why the representation of me is in a turtle neck. what a bold fashion choice..#In another moment of self reflection.. the fact that in the first tag on this post I felt the need to define the word 'profile' just to be #specific as if people couldn't tell from context.. so clearly someone who finds filling out forms a 'fun afternoon activity' lol #the type of guy who finds psych evaluations and pop quizzes and making chore lists mostly enjoyable (< true)

#i literally couldnt go back if i wanted to #you dont understand i have So Many adblockers its crazy #off the top of my head i could tell you like 4 that i have on my computer but im sure there are more #on my phone i think i only have 2 or 3??#idk lol its crazy that everyone just lives with ads all the time and im here chilling not having seen a single ad on my computer for 2 year #and on my phone its been a few months i think #and people are like oh its not that bad why would i want an adblock?#and im like ???? why wouldnt you want one #many many sites make you pay for ad free suggesting that this is something most peoplewant #i am offering to tell you how to do it for free forever and youre telling me you dont want to?#a lot of people are just so scared to do anything to their computers they dont even know that there are options #a while ago i finally convinced my uni friends to get ublock origin and they were like here u have my computer and i was like ??#you just need to add an extension to chrome ?? and they didnt know how to do that😭😭😭#*judges from my 239742 addons*#like yeah i get it maybe having so many is unnecessary or whatever but having at least 1 adblock to get some control back is necessary #but whatever lol #mine #random

You ever have a day where you feel like you're doing everything wrong, even when you're like. just doing things you normally do. And are alone, so like the only person i could in theory upset/piss off/etc right now is me myself, and Yet the feeling persists

Yeaaaaah. That's today's vibe for me apparently lmao

#text post #it's fine bc i know it's probably just a culmination of a couple different worries that i should be able to address #in the coming days/weeks but all the same #my brain is pinging like no you immediately need to check with everyone you know that you aren't mucking up #but like. if that was the case they'd talk to me and let me know #and i could apologise recognise where/how I've fucked up and change what I'm doing/try to do better #some days i just can't turn off the 'everyone is frustrated with u & feeling worse bc u aren't recognising that u fucked up' feeling #bc sometimes it's true! i missed a cue or didn't properly pick up what was being put down/implied!!#and when i do that it just. kills me 💀#like i know that life does just involve fucking up sometimes and being in the wrong and apologising and doing better #but also oh god i need to know immediately if I've fucked up so i can do better and try to make things right #or as close to right as possible #i need to stop typing tags and get onto the survey sites and into the chores that need doing today #fr tho if i have fucked up recently & any friends on here know/have been nervous to tell me #pls just do. i want to know so i can try not to make the same fuck up again #the anxiety over feeling like I've fucked up something but haven't realised it is ten times worse than #being told i fucked up apologising and figuring out how I'm going to try and make things better #no more tags rn tho!! time to try and get something done!!!

not to be obnoxious but like. you people are mad at those watcher guys for making you pay for a subscription service. but you were all able to look past the fact that they had an entire series where they just made jokes about actual real life true crime cases. that makes sense

#i fucking DESPISE buzzfeed unsolved #they were so fucking tone deaf with how they handled their true crime shit it made me so fucking angry #like you guys claim to be against the commercialising of true crime but not when two haha funny little guys do it yeah ??#fuck you all actually those dudes were always trash #and i kept feeling insane for being bothered by it whilst everyone else was worshipping them #they went to the scene of the keddie cabin murders which is a case i studied back when i did forensic archaeology #and bear in mind that the daughter of that family is still alive #and they stood there next to this site where a family and their friend were stabbed to death and fucking laughed and made jokes #and people didn’t care just because the jokes were never directly at the expense of the victims as if that makes it ok ???#that woman is still fucking alive. can you fucking imagine if she’d seen that like how that would feel #i’m fucking tired of teaching people basic human decency when it comes to true crime fuck you people #and don’t get me wrong what those guys are doing now IS scummy #but like ?? compared to fucking making their entire success of goofing about at real fucking crime scenes ???? they were always trash

a little update...

i’ve lost a lot of followers here for whatever reason (i’m sure there are plenty—and they’re all totally valid), but i’m just saying that, from now on, i’m only going to post what i want to post on this blog. i’m done with themes and “this year it’s this fandom” and "next year it’s that fandom." it’s just all getting thrown here. everything. all my sheith, my voltron, my fire emblem, my persona, my final fantasy, my kingdom hearts, my yugioh, my assassin’s creed, my whatever else—everything.

send your requests for fandoms i don’t seem to be paying a lot of attention to, sure! send in prompts for ships i haven’t written for in years. that’s cool. definitely. i mean, i can’t guarantee it’ll get done, but it’ll be a nice surprise if i have the time to fill it. send in whatever you want. i still desire to know your ideas and i want to interact. just, on my time. whenever i have it in me.

i want to have more fun and i don’t want to feel restricted anymore because people are too fickle and can’t handle someone having more than one interest.

so. yeah. that’s that.

#*ivory says #mostly i've just had time to think about #how toxic this site was for me at some point #i mean most of you guys were great #but a lot of people were also really demanding #and i just wanted to have a good time #maybe make a friend or two #i just didn't feel in control back then #but i sure do now #i'm shaking things up bitches

Managed to get a simple Yu ref sheet done in time for Art Fight! :D Here's her link: https://artfight.net/character/4719544.yu

Somehow I always used to feel that a proper saddle pattern was too dark for her, but now that I actually did it I think it fits her pretty well! Maybe I can stick to this design for a while. I wanted something that was genetically possible irl, so all her previous iterations bugged me a lot.

Her hobbies are all the cool dog things that I can't do irl (for the time being at least): everything that lets her run and/ or use her little brain in addition like sledding/ bike-joring/ dog scootering/ etc., agility, also playing with friends. She's pretty fast! And like me, she's reserved around strangers.

#i've had many people ask me in the DMs what could be done to help me out given the orange menace is coming back into power #the best things for me right now (I can't speak to others) is this: 1. Keep supporting my creative endeavors #no matter how little I might post or interact. Please hype me up. I need community. I need spirit to survive.#2. Help me find resources that will help myself and others. Food banks. Community meets. Passports. Finances. Mental health etc.#these are important and I don't want others feeling like sitting ducks. Even though I'm scared I want to be a solution to the problem.#I am going to be a helper in this mess cause that's who I am and I need ammo in this capacity #3. Donate so I can up my ration storage. I've been collecting food water and nonperishables and I'm trying to stock up on medication #and other basic necessities. I'm collecting as if I'm preparing to be homeless again and if I am over capacity I'm giving rations to others #I've had to make peace with the fact I can't run away. I can't move to another country as I'm broke and poor like the rest of my loved ones #4. If you have friends who are disabled or a minority or lgbtq etc. do what you can to protect them and show them that you love them #and build community #5. Share my work and that of others. Who knows if we're gonna have sites like AO3 in the future or even access to tumblr.#this is all I can think of at the moment and again I can't speak for others this is what comes to mind for myself #And I admit I'm coming from a place of the worst case scenarios #because in my mind if I imagine I'm dead or homeless etc. and work my way backward to the next worst thing before that it unravels my fear #and it gives me back my power in the situation by sitting with those fears and giving them time to speak #because in my mind if I'm already dead if I'm already homeless or at war etc. etc. then its already happened and what else is there to fear #if I've been through everything already in mind?#I'm hoping that the worst case scenarios don't transpire but I can't ignore the fact many of them could and probably will happen #in some capacity but I can control the actions I take through prep and facing these fears one by one #and most importantly sticking to routine by making sure im healthy to help people #anyway this is why ive been quiet for a while besides for spending time with friends and loved ones recently to get over what happened #im going to keep going to my classes keep helping people through my jobs try to be creative when I have spoons and little by little #make sure I have enough of what I need to get through the storm and outlive the bastards in power #I'm not sure what sort of pink variant to assign this to but its along the magenta spectrum #love you guys #we'll get through this

There's already a ton of election software or websites with names corresponding to "voting buddy" or similar

but I'd like a term for a person or group you've made an agreement with to each support and enable the other to vote. A source of mutual encouraging reminders (and maybe mild guilt about not meeting an expectation)

Any and all suggestions welcome. It would be great if there was a catchy name so this could become an accepted Thing

#voting #us politics #us elections #or any elections really #there are a lot of really clever people on this site i'm sure someone can vome up with something decent #like just a word for a person who works like a school fieldtrip buddy #the mutually voluntary human equivalent of a post-it note for each of you #or for a whole group? a groupchat or email chain even #just someone to check in and ask oh hey you voted yet? and idk offer help if there's an issue like #offer a ride or to watch the kids or to meet up and make it a fun get-together thing so it's not drudgery #could be anybody: friend parent co-worker random guy you see at the dogpark #bc it's not about *how* you're voting but just that you DO #saw somebody on here saying yeah they live in ny so it won't matter if they vote #which - tell me without telling me you don't care about local elections for one thing #but also uh can you maybe remember a time when counting the actual 'popular vote' actually became a really big deal???#for the entire nation even?#the us does not have ranked voting or required voting we need all the voter encouragement and support we can get

How to make sure no one wants to be friends with you: openly shame people

i'm sorry but anyone who actively defends and/or supports proshitters deserve to be shamed for it tbh, i already stated in my pinned post i don't condone it.

if you genuinely think i want to make friends with somebody who sympathizes with people who are into that shit/see nothing wrong with proshipping than you're clearly mistaken. hate all you want, at the end of the day at least i'm not the pervert shipping kids with adults 💀

#girl do i look like i give a fuck about pitying proshitters and their supporters literally gtfo out of my blog #“how to make sure no one wants to be friends with you” if you want to make me feel bad or smth at least try LMFAO this is just pathetic #i'll shame any proshitter all i want come at me bro i genuinely have nothing to lose on this site #i just had a bad day but instead of feeling even more angry i'm actually laughing at this ask lmfao like what ??#are you fr rn ??#💀#middle school looking ass insult #cackling in my seat #i'm so sick of proshitters #vas posts #not quote #ask reply #tw: proship

Hrmm... put together a roommates quiz finally after years of thinking it would be an interesting idea lol.. Though obviously not meant to be taken super seriously, I just like thinking about this aspect of personality compatibility. Like yeah, maybe you could get along with someone just chatting with them, but living together is such a different thing. .. curiouse...

#Not that I think that many people would really care since I barely know anyone on tumblr in real life and would never live with random #internet strangers lol but... idk.. I made this to give to friends from time to time and thought... why not post it here too #just out of sheer curiosity if anyone takes it what the most common results would be and etc.#My initial assumption is that most people would probably fall into the 'maybe' category and that either extreme of 'best roomates'#and 'worst roomates' would be the least common #very long also since I like to be thorough I guess #THOUGH... upon second thought... tumblr is home of the like Weird Introverts Who Sit Inside All The Time.. so maybe it's more #likely to come across compatible poeple on here. given that many of the questions are about how meticulous #people are with their scehdules or how often they invite friends over or if they like to mostly stay inside etc.#(since personally I think having a roommate coming and going and bringing random people over all the time would be too chaotic #lol... I need a peaceful quiet household)#Also I kind of don't like the way uquiz seems to do results. I was hoping it would be a number tally? I used some sort of quiz making site #before where you weight the question responses with a number (so the 'Best' response is worth a 0 #The worst is worth like 5 points. and all the in between are like 1 - 4 points or something). So then it is actually possible to have a #''perfect score'' category (someone who gets a literal 0 points). and also you could weight some EXTREMELY bad answers #to add like +10 to the score instead of just +5. And someone who got the MAX possible points would be the WORST compatibility. etc.#But uquiz seems to just be like ''which category did you score towards the MOST'. So someone can give some pretty bad answers #that are VERY non compatible. but as long as MOST of their answers landed in a 'compatible' category #then they would still be listed as compatible despite still actually having some dealbreakers in there. Which is also possible with the #'every answer is a number amount' ranking system too. but I feel like that one does allow for a little more customization #and accuracy (like making the dealbreakers add like...+40 to the score or something so that #there's basically NO way that someone could answer with one of those and still get a good score. Or the ability to have a literal #'perfect score' (getting a zero) etc.#BUt anyway lol... inchresting.. inchresting... curious to consider maybe making a uquiz #for the characters in the gameI'm making like.. which npc are you type quiz or something #now that I've made one and seen how it works.. hrmm hrmm....#(< game will not even be done for like another year but still thinking about nonsense like this lol)

oh yeah did I say I fully jashified my friend because I did and I’m not sure how it happened

#Out of all the songs that could’ve won her over it was LAPLACE’S ANGEL #this girl had no idea what a FANDOM was before she met me. She used to be a DIE HARD JUSTIN BEIBER FAN. HOWD WE GET HERE #anyway I’m trying to convince her to get on the hell site (here) but also trying to keep her from making the same jokes she does with me #Because she’s actually insane she’ll just say things that are even a bit much for you all k mean it #You guys don’t get her like I do she doesn’t mean to be weird she’s just like that #(This is the same friend who has a BIT (which is generous considering how far she takes the word “bit”) of an obsession with Chonny’s hair)#Okay rant about my best friend my beloved over #S.K thinks #Chonny jash

When you're tryna be reasonable about getting all rejections except for one place when a lot of your groups got more but wise mind feeling like a struggle rn

#venting #nah bro my top site rejected me and I straight boohoo cried #cuz it was the last one. over 15 rejections for a month #and then tryna hold yourself up and ppl trying to hold you up but also I'm lying if I said that doesn't hurt #this shit was traumatic fr #I got so much anxiety cuz I got an email that a friend asked me why I was breathing hard #didn't even notice it jumped like that #I got one chance #and either I get this place or I gotta do the process again #you get constant rejections and then have to put your dog down #and still have to go to work and teach and help and try to make time for yourself #and your life is still in the hands of people who feel nothing at the end of the day #cuz they're so far removed from you and your position #literally couldn't cry for a month until yesterday #my chest hurts with just how much this has been sitting on me #fuck bro and I still have to wait more time to even figure out what's next #bro I just want this to be over #how tf do you want stable psychologists when you're traumatizing them the entire time
