#i actually forget which tag is for my textposts

[peribound]

me: i told a joke to my coworkers and nobody really laughed, and then later this other coworker stole my joke and suddenly everyone found it funny. completely stole my thunder

boyfriend who collects names: thunder, huh, i think i like that name. call me thunder

me: i think we should see other people

[sircarolyn]

tagged by the brilliant @unionjackpillow to post four songs I've had on repeat lately - thank you for enabling me, i will be using this as an excuse to talk about leela and romana and herclas and the vrcu <3 the content i hope people have come to expect from me <3

1. wait on by hayley williams

this song just sends me wild thinking about gallifrey unity... it’s just such a leela song!!! i want to quote the whole thing but especially there was a bird who never flew / but she still kept all of her feathers / so she could pluck them out for you / and you could wear them in your hair and she'd be with you - like all i can think about at the moment is how leela tries so damn hard in time lord society to hold onto herself while trying to fit in, and she just can’t do either! so by unity, who is she any more? who is she when she’s not defined by romana any more? a bird who never flew, but she still kept all of her feathers so she could pluck them out for you

i actually cannot be any more articulate about this at this time i’m about to start yelling

2. rearview by beach bunny

oh this song just came on! anyway. so i’m still on my unity bullshit with this one - i’ve constructed an au in my head where veega and romana both make it off unity alive + therefore this leaves leela in a Situation where she’s been living happily with veega for 20-odd years, but here romana is again, rocking up and just expecting to pick up where they left off and so like - what does leela do? this has splintered dramatically in my head into like five different threads but the best outcome is veega + romana unionising over the fact they’re in love with leela 

also vrcu gang! this is a douglas + verity song <3 was i ever good enough for you? / there’s always someone i’m trying to live up to / i can never get to you / you always look closer in the rearview. don’t think i need to say more than that

3. 6 weeks by beach bunny

firstly. this is a herclas song. secondly this is a romana/leela song. both for the same reason: let's go back, let's go back to the start / let's begin at the end when you tore me apart / you didn't try, didn't try to make me cry / but I bawled like a baby when you said goodbye

literally any song that mentions heartbeats or whatever also instantly sends my mind to time lords + this song’s all i have a heart attack every time you get up / cause you said you’d be back soon / but the other ones said that too

4. laughter lines by bastille

this one isn’t that deep. i just love bastille + this is one of my favourite songs of theirs. could easily twist it into a herclas song if i wanted to though + it’s a doctor/river song through and through + one time i saw someone apply the lyrics to the doctor and sarah jane and i cried <3

content creator year in review

i was tagged by the lovely liv (@taetaespeaches)  to go over the categories below and i had so much fun doing it!! thanks for tagging me <3

first creation and most recent creation of 2020:

my first creation was I adore you (may 1, 2020) which was a comfort piece i wrote when i wasn’t feeling too well. yes, i cringe when looking back at it. it’s definitely not my best work :/ but uh yes that’s my first.

my most recent was You make getting older easier (december 30, 2020) which was tae’s birthday fic <3

a creation you’re really proud of:

a creation that i’m proud of is You’re the best present I could ever ask for. upon getting that request, i was nervous that i wouldn’t be able to do it justice. i mean, i haven’t been proposed to, so i didn’t know how to even approach the concept at first. honestly i kind of just went with my gut and i think it came out cute despite how much i initially struggled.

a creation that took you forever:

Don’t start something you can’t finish is one that i can think of immediately. it wasn’t difficult to write, since smut is literally one of my favorite genres to write, but i just remember going through a serious bout of writers block during that one. the pages filled very slowly, but i did get there and get it done eventually.

a creation from 2020 that received the most notes:

lmao i’m not even checking my other posts because i know off the top of my head that it’s You’re evil, you know that? that one has the most notes out of anything i’ve ever posted, which lets me know that y’all are just as whipped for jungkook as i am.

a creation you think deserved more notes:

yeesh i hate this topic because i feel so undeserving grateful for all of your support on my little fics :( but i guess I’ve always got your back would be one just because i love the concept of a sweet domestic hoseok helping the reader to bed after a long day and looking through my masterlist it doesn’t seem to have as many

a new fandom you joined and a creation you made for it:

i mean i became a fan of ateez but the most i’ve ever done creation wise for that group is draw wooyoung. but um that will never see the light of day. it’s literally stuffed in the back of my closet right now.

a creation you made that breaks your heart:

i don’t write much angst for this exact reason..but i guess You don’t have to be strong for me, purely because jimin crying is just a punch to the gut for me.

i’m currently thinking up some angsty works for next month..stay tuned

a ‘simple’ creation that you really love:

I think it’s healthy for him to see his parents showing affection. i can’t even remember how i thought of this concept for this prompt but i feel like it’s just so taehyung. the word count is low on this little drabble and i just think it’s cute.

a creation that was inspired by another one:

i mean there couldn’t of been an I feel like I’m meeting the parents without I really like you. i didn’t intend for this to be a two-parter, but i’m actually glad it turned out to be because i really like the storyline of a shy kookie and shy reader trying to initiate more in their relationship.

a favorite creation created by someone else:

i’m doing a few because i couldn’t narrow it down to just one :)

Tiger Flower (social media AU) by @v-hope 

i was so emotionally invested in this series oh my GOD. alex wrote this story beautifully with in depth written pieces woven through the textposts for an even clearer understanding of the characters emotions. i 1000/10 recommend this series for anyone who is soft for shy photographer jungkook :) it’s seriously adorable with just the right amount of drama to keep you hooked.

the long term couples series by @taetaespeaches

i mean if you don’t know about these couples..where have you been lol. liv writes each member with an oc/reader insert that have their own individual (adorable) nicknames from the boys and expands on the events in their relationships. what i love most about this series is that it shows the true ups and downs of relationships and emphasizes how to deal with common issues in a healthy way. liv is a queen and if you haven’t gone to her blog yet you definitely should.

wanderlust by @mygsii

i’m such a sucker for friends to lovers, it’s not a surprise that this made it onto my list. this story has it all; angst, fluff, and smut. it’s evident from the very beginning that taehyung and the reader (affectionately dubbed ‘shortcake’) care for each other, and the buildup is so well done. my favorite part is obviously when they confess to each other, and i love the way renae lets us see the actual progression from friends to lovers with the way she ends the story.

some of your favorite content creators from the year: 

@taetaespeaches, @gukwluv, @v-hope, @joonsgalore, @ppersonna, @jjungkookislife, @jiminmochis, @dreamyjoons, @snackhobi, @ironicarmy

and for good measure, a couple more creations of yours that you love:

It’s more fun here with you, anyway. / We’re never going to hear the end of this. / You’ve got quite the bedhead, my love. /  I have no self control when it comes to you. / If our kids are this stubborn, we’re screwed.

i’m tagging any other creator on here that wants to do this :) this was fun, i feel like i forget how much i’ve written until i do stuff like this though lmao

[seoscribbles]

i got tagged !!!!!! by the lovely @isitizyesitis !!!!!!!! im very uwu rn

Why did you choose your url?

my url used to be amyloveswords, then it was amyadoreswords because i liked the alliteration better, and then i changed it to seoscribbles because i go by Seo now and i scribble from time to time 😌

Any side blogs? If you have them, name them and why you have them.

I realized I was reblogging too many hyperfixation-related things and that was probably annoying the people that followed me so i made a hyperfixation blog, @parasocialrelations, where I would post about the stuff I'm obsessed with, which is mainly dimension20 at the moment.

While watching dimension20, I realized I had a knack for screenshotting no context moments and I made a no context screencap blog @nocontextdropout !

[bellatrixobsessed1]

Okay so tumblr did something super weird with the formatting and I couldn’t fix it; for some reason it had the page cut under the ask itself (as if the ask itself had the page cut in it) so I literally couldn’t edit it out and re-format it right. So I just took a screencap of the ask and I’ll respond via a standard textpost.

Gonna give a little warning because I’m gonna be talking about child abuse a bit.

Glad to hear it, anon. :) I try to keep an open mind with these discussions.

Tbh, I kinda get uncomfortable with some of the stuff I've seen in her tag regarding Zuko especially. I've seen a handful of people kind of dismissing him as being whiny or sensitive, and I just don't really vibe with that. I don't have anything against any of the people I've seen posting it, but I just don't vibe with.

I'm also gonna take the opportunity to try to break some of the misconceptions about the Azula fandom by saying that I don't feel afraid or intimidated to kinda go against a good portion of the fandom in a sense. And that's because, fellow Azula fans have never really outcast me or tried to fight me for saying that I think that Azula's a bit of an abuser. The Azula fandom imo, isn't full of bullies and hateful people; everyone I have talked to has been very open to a nice discussion. I think that it just depends how you approach them with your arguments.

All of that said, Imma get back on topic here; It’s a little tough to talk about Azula's flaws sometimes because I feel like (though, thankfully this hasn’t happened on tumblr to me yet) that some people take pointing out flaws in your faves as bashing them or posting hate.

But honestly this is really cool to hear because back when I first opened up this blog I used to do that thing where I’d justify everything that my faves did, which was a bit of a problem because my faves are all antagonists! xD So there has been a lot of progress made.

I think that there are three main reasons that people have a hard time admitting that she’s an abuser too.

I think that the biggest one is that a lot of Azula fans lately have been massively on the defensive. There has been quite a bit of hate in her tag, there have been things said by the writers (taken the wrong way or not), there have been a lot of generalizations, and so on. And all of it kind of puts fans on the defensive. I see so many posts about how Azula is irredeemable and just the worst, most evil character in the show and so people kind of swing hardcore the other way (Azula did nothing wrong) to make up for all of the demonizing she gets. One extreme usually leads to another. Seeing Azula get so much shit, like being called a killer and a sadist, provokes the Azula is a cinnamon roll reaction. Basically when a fandom gets put on blast for being 'the crazy' or 'mean' side of the fandom, I feel like it creates a cycle where that part of the fandom starts to actually act meaner because they feel backed into a corner. The more they are called 'delusional' for seeing good in Azula the more radically they will start to defend that belief until the shades of grey start disappearing, if that makes sense.

But this is just a theory of course.

The second reason I think that people tend to dismiss the things she does do wrong is that there's this association with criticism and hate. And this goes beyond the Avatar fandom. In general I feel like people find it hard to say bad things about their favorite characters because they feel like they're bashing their character and/or they don't want people to think that they are being negative. Plus it's just kinda hard to say bad things about something you like/love. Speaking as someone who used to do this; I always felt really weird about or like I was being negative when admitting that things I like have flaws. I'm not exactly sure why I used to feel like this because it wasn't an, 'I seem myself in this character, so insulting them is like insulting me' thing because I usually have almost nothing in common with my faves. Idk, it's just always been way easier for me to find things I like in a character I hate than it is for me to find things I don't like in a character that I do. On a personal level, it might just be because I'd rather focus on liking things that I like than hating things that I hate?

I guess that I think that it's just easy to forget that 'I don't like xyz aspect of Azula' is not the same as 'I don't like Azula at all'. I think that it's possible to love a character but not love everything about them, just like real people; you can love your mom to death but there will always be those things about her that drive you nuts.

And really, imo, I think that fans who are able to see flaws with their faves are the ones who understand them the best. I'm definitely not saying that the people who don't see/acknowledge their fave's flaws don't understand their fave. But I think that they are missing out on very crucial aspects of their favorite character. If you like a character you should like them for what they are in canon, not what you want them to be or what they could be.

I see a lot of potential for growth in Azula. I see potential for a redemption arc and I do love what her character can be. But I also love her character as is. Currently in canon, she's manipulative and goal driven to the point where she has a disregard for people. Currently she's an antagonist and I love her for that. Because antagonist, unredeemed Azula is the character I liked in the beginning. I don't condone her being manipulative and I don't like that as a personality trait. But I do love it as far as, she is a fantastically written antagonist. And those cold, manipulative, abusive traits add to her complexity when juxtaposed against her own abuse, insecurities, and need to be loved.

And that's kind of what I mean when I say that, if you like Azula, you should like her despite the flaws.  If that makes sense. I feel like people who say that she isn't an abuser (at least to some degree) kind of have a misunderstanding of her character. I think that one of the points of her character is to show that some abused kids don't come out okay. It's a tragic reality.

But with Azula I think that there's still room for her to change and start to break that cycle. I feel like she'd have a much harder time doing it than Zuko, because she has been subjected to his mental abuse in close range for much longer than he has. And I think that it would be something she'd struggle with her whole life, but I see good in her.

That said, I think that the third reason people have trouble seeing her as an abuse is because it is just really hard to see abuse victims become the abuser. I've mentioned before, but I come from a family where the chain ended with one of my parents. Said parent has told me many times how hard it was to fight that kind of upbringing. That's the real tragedy of abuse, it just goes on and on until you're mentally strong enough to fight yourself and break that chain. And the sad thing is, that some people just can't seem to do that. And I think that when discussing Azula, this comes into play a bit; it's just hard to look at even a fictional abuse victim and knowledge that they've become the abuser because it is all that they have known.

It's just a really hard topic and  that's why it's so easy for discourse like this to get heated; a lot of people have an Azula in their lives or relate to her in some way.

Thanks for the ask, sorry it took so long to reply! I wanted to make it thoughtful and word everything the best that I can.

As always, everyone is welcomed to chime in and give their own opinions.

EDIT: There are a few things that I don’t think I was clear enough on with the initial post lol. First and foremost, I’m definitely not saying that these three reasons are the only reasons people don’t talk about Azula’s flaws. @wingsfreedom​ made a good point about differing ways of interpreting scenes. That’s another biggy. 

The other thing I want to clarify is that I don’t think that Azula is a full on abuser. I think that she displays tendencies and does some abusive things. But I also don’t put her on the same level as Ozai. I feel like she’s a bit more merciful than him. Like Ozai is pretty much too far gone; he’s an abuser and his mind is set there. Azula, I think still has the capacity to break the chain. She’s not a lost cause. I also feel like she can be reasoned with more than Ozai. Ozai is all about power; Azula is motivated more by desperation (be it for her father’s love, to keep the last bit of control she has, and to keep her friends). It still leads to that harmful behavior, but I don’t think that she’s a lost cause like Ozai. Like, she has some abusive tendencies now, but I can also see her being able to break the chain under the right conditions.  If that makes sense.

Doctor Who Tagging Game

Tagged by @popcornpages88 and @incorrect-doctorwho. I have been tagged by two (2) separate people so now I have to do it. But seriously ty for tagging me this was really fun to do.

(Sorry this is so long. I ramble A Lot.)

Favourite Doctor: Twelve!! I LOVE HIM! Especially later in his run but I still love him at the beginning too. He's just so lovely but also ready to snark. Plus his character (and hair) growth is just wonderful. Second fave is Eleven, since he was the first doctor I watched where I was old enough to really appreciate the story

Favourite Master: mmm... Missy! I'm not even sure why really, she's just magnetic. Delgado is a close second though! Which I mostly attribute to how many times I watched the Sea Devils when I was younger, haha.

Favourite Sonic: Eleven's one. I find the clicking mechanism really satisfying. Plus is the colours are nice?

Favourite Companion: DONnNaAaaa... noble. I love her so, so, much. She's wonderful and ready 2 fite. Her relationship with ten is just so close and strong, without any need for romance. It's brilliant.

Favourite Episode: Tough one. Really, really, tough one. Maybe Empty Child/Doctor Dances? That one is brilliant. It absolutely terrified me as a kid. I love how creepy it is while still having so much humour. Also the ending is really sweet. Love a happy ending me.

(Weird site note: but when I was younger I used to think Rose said the Doctor should have more 'spock' as in a misspronouniation of 'spunk'. So you can imagine my shock when I later realised it was a Star Trek reference lol.)

Favourite Soundtrack: 'I am the Doctor' is definitely my all time favourite. It so bouncy and has all the right nostalgia.

My top 13 favourites (eyy) in no particular order (other than the obvious) are: I am the Doctor, Madame De Pompadour, Amy's theme, Impossible astronant, Martha's theme, Gallifrey Our Childhood Home, Clara's theme, A Dazzling End, Song of Freedom, Rose's theme, Shepards Boy, Doomsday, and Bad Wolf (which I know is actually Nine's theme but I'm sorry it's Bad Wolf to me.).

Dream actor for the next male/female Doctor: For female definitely Jo Martin. I don't care how they do it but I want it. She had so many good doctor vibes and she wasn't even on screen for more than 20 minutes. Other than that, I guess I just want a good actor? I've heard a few people suggest Colin Morgan and if we get another guy I think he'd be cool.

Dream Composer: Really dont know enough about music composers to choose... Though honestly Murray Gold was the dream.

Dream story: I'm very much a moment to moment forgets ideas two second after I thought them kind of person so I don't have anything concrete but.

1: a multi doctor story, with Donna, Clara, and Bill. (Or any one of them). Where the subplot is 13 struggling with guilt and making herself not stop a future that has already happened. Maybe 12 also feels guilt over Clara & Donna and 11 feels guilt over Donna and all their half hearted attempts to stop the past get interrupted by each other. Idk I just want Angst. (In this scenario 10 would just be getting gradually more worried about his future lmao)

2: I saw an amazing thread (link here) about the next Doctor & Master regenerating at the same time in the Tardis and both getting amnesia. Basically neither of them know which one is which and the entire story is them working together to figure out who they are... While they also deal with an alien threat. I love the idea that, because they're both bastards and two sides of the same coin, you literally can't tell who's who until the reveal. Bonus points if the main foreshadowing of their actual identity is that the Doctor is played by someone substantially taller.

Companion you'd like to see back: oh Ace, definitely. I think it would be wonderful if there was a 'School Reunion' (without the jealously though please) esque episode. It would be really fun to see her interact with a newer companion like Yaz. I've seen screenshots of a story I believe Sophie Aldred wrote(?) and yeah something like that.

Tagging, @dw-textposts, @queerconfusionthings, @oxbowreality, @alyona11, @bootstrapparadoxed, @uselesstimelords, @starlightanddragons, @being-of-rain, @the-patrex, @stillthesunkenstars, @yesokayiknow, @imnotgivingmynametoacomputer, @madfanboyinablueblog

Only if you want to ofc! Don't feel like you have to do it. I just like seeing other people's opinions :)

[hotteaandchocolatecake]

So this is supposed to be a title/headline thing??? Well it has definitively been a while

I forgot how to write a post on tumblr. Like I literally didn't remember that the icon with the pen was where I had to go to actually 'create my own content' (which is really just a stupid textpost about my life) because all I ever do on this hellhole of a website is reblogginf other peoples amazing content with a tag that is supposed to help me find it but which I forget within 10 seconds of writing it

Merlin 1x01 “The Dragon’s Call” Review

So I made two posts like this while rewatching Merlin last time, of my thoughts on the finale, that I never posted. I decided since this is my third full watch through of Merlin this might be something fun I can do. It’ll basically just be me rambling on and reviewing the plot, my favourite scenes/episodes, Merthur moments and just making comments. They’ll probably all end up being kinda long posts. So without further ado, and just to be safe, spoiler alert: 

“A boy that will in time father a legend” you don’t say (●__●) (also I love how this ties into what Kilgharrah says to Merlin in the last episode)

I remember the first time I watched this how epic I thought the “His name.. Merlin” thing was. Still epic.

ahh the intro, it’s like coming home

Uther: Off with his head!

“There is only one evil in this land and it is not magic, it is you” mood

Awww tiny Merlin is so cute

Hooray Gaius!

Hooray first magic use on the show!

Gaius really gets his shit together when Merlin arrives cause I’m pretty sure he’s a little senile in his first scene

I really wish Hunith had been in the series more

Awww not evil Morgana! I love Morgana sassing Uther all the time

“You know the more brutal you are, the more enemies you’ll create” again mood

And here we go part one of the “everyone breaks into Camelot” saga

OMG YAY ARTHUR except god he’s an asshole, Merlin really straightens him out

Aww the Merthur meet-not-so-cute

“Who do you think you are, the king” “No I’m his son, Arthur” you can literally see Merlin thinking well shit

Uther why do you meet your singer in a dark unlit room, that’s creepy

Also Kilgharrah if you were a little less cryptic whisper voice while Merlin sleeps he’d probably come down way sooner

YAYY ITS GWEN I really like her in the early seasons

Also my Netflix subtitles spelled Guinevere as “Gwenhwyfer” for some reason  and I just about died XD

Gwen and Merlin’s friendship was so cute in the early seasons I really wish they had more scenes together later on

“You don’t look like one of those big muscly kind of fellows.” Oh just wait till season five Gwen

*about Kilgharrah* “Where no one can free it” okay yeah sure give Merlin a bit

Ah yes part one of the “Merlin almost getting caught snooping” saga

And cue the gayest scene on television

“Look I told you you were an ass I just didn’t realize you were a royal one” literally the best burn ever

“I could take you apart with one blow” “I could take you apart with less than that” out of context people in town probably thought something completely different was going on

“I warn you I’ve been trained to kill since birth.” “Wow, and how long have you been training to be a prat?” “You can’t address me like that.” really cause you seem to be enjoying it Arthur “Sorry. How long have you been training to be a prat, my lord” no that’s the best burn ever go Merlin

Arthur also actually remembered Merlin’s name from him introducing himself the day before

And let the cheating begin

Arthur’s little sweeping thing was so adorably cocky, I totally forgot about it! I love him 

“There’s something about you Merlin. I can’t quite put my finger on it.”

“If I can’t use magic I might as well die.” Aww Merlin

“I’m not a monster am I?” Awww Merlin “Don’t ever think that.” I love Merlin and Gaius father-son dynamic

Uther is definitely flirting with this witch/singer lady and I hate it

More cryptic whispers

Cue the “it’s very easy to get into the Camelot dungeons/basement” saga

You’d think a castle, especially under Uther’s reign, would guard the dragon better but hey ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Why is Kilgharrah so cryptic all the time? Like dude if you’d just tell Merlin the important stuff straight, things would get done so much faster!

“If anyone wants to go and kill him they can go ahead. In fact, I’ll give them a hand” oh Merlin you have no idea how you’ll grow to care for him

“There must be another Arthur cause this ones an idiot” yep “Perhaps it is your destiny to change that” perhaps not cause they’re both idiots but Arthur does become a much better person at least

Is it just me or were they almost hinting at an Arthur/Morgana romance at first?? Gross

More classic witchy stuff

The music in the background is really cool

So are Arthur and Morgana supposed to be betrothed?? Cause Gwen made a comment about Morgana being queen and “who would want to marry Arthur?” Merlin Which is gross to consider cause doesn’t Uther know they’re both his children..?

The putting everyone to sleep by singing scene is pretty cool too

That being said why does this spell cover everyone in spider webs?

Cue the “Merlin saves Arthur’s life like once an episode” saga

“You shall be prince Arthur’s manservant.” “Father!” Arthur’s so cute

God Merlin is pretty

Gaius: here let me give you an illegal magic book cause your mother asked me to make sure you don’t get caught using magic ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

“Your destiny is calling, you’d better find out what he wants” I feel like Gaius probably referred to Arthur like that constantly just to tease Merlin

And that's the first episode. Like I said I doubt people will actually read these, they’re more just a fun project for me to do. I’ll probably do most, I’m attempting to do all, of the series. I mostly just make notes while I’m watching to get down my thoughts and then edit later on on my computer or iPad. I'm gonna tag all of these "#hntrswrlk-reviews" so I can find the easily on my blog since I use tumblr all the time and reblog stuff all the time. I aim to do one a week but I’m a major procrastinator and forgetful AF so who knows XD. Anyway for anyone who did read, thanks (•ᴗ•)♡

(there will probably be a lot of these emoticons since I don't wanna use emojis since they don't come up properly on computers and I have a lot of emotions that textposts just don’t express well enough!)

i was tagged by kylie @wjmild, cata @kittychicha, quan @billkinsdancing, lara @atotsphutian, juliette @ahysopae thank youuuu love you alllll mwah mwah

1. why did you choose your url?

it’s a reference to the main character of one of my favourite books, mademoiselle de maupin by theophile gautier (a very gay and very overdramatic french novel from 1835, help 😭). i’ve considered changing it to something lakorn-related (i have a few ideas) but i’m so attached to serannes i don’t know if i ever could. but... maybe? idk i’m indecisive 😫

2. any sideblogs?

skfhjadskfhkdfgk can you imagine me trying to work out how to manage a sideblog?

3. how long have you been on tumblr?

mentally? since i was about twelve. actually? around fifteen months

4. do you have a queue tag?

#queue bc i’m boring (actually i wanted to do a pun but all the ones i had in mind were waaay too pretentious and too laborious to type out on the regular)

5. why did you start your blog in the first place?

i have a twitter acc but that’s where everyone i know irl follows me

6. why did you choose your icon/pfp?

maybe i have a massive crush on priya sangkhachinda, mind your own business 💞💞

7. why did you choose your header?

see above 💞💞 plus i loved that photoshoot (also, the other person in the photos is primrose chindavanich, whom i have maybe possibly also recently developed a crush on. yes i know, sue me.)

8. whats your post with the most notes?

i think it’s this atots textposts one? i might be wrong though idk how to check

9. how many mutuals do you have?  

noooo idea, i can never keep track of who’s a sideblog or not

10. how many followers do you have?

way more than i thought i’d ever have when i started this thing lol (but still not a particularly large number, thank god)

11. how many people do you follow?

around 450 i think? i know i only really blog about asian (mainly thai) dramas, but i’m technically a multifandom blog and i follow people from a bunch of wildly different fandoms. some of them you might be able to guess. some of them i will never ever reveal 😘

12. have you ever made a shitpost?

no. all of my posts are 110% serious. actually i think people who make shitposts are the scourge of society and should be uniformly expunged from this site thb. whenever someone i follow makes a shitpost i immediately block them, add their url to a blocklist that i circulate among my remaining mutuals, and report them to tumblr staff

13. how often do you use tumblr each day?

more than i probably should 😳 i try to stay off when i have a deadline, but i'm rarely successful tbh

14. did you have a fight/argument with another blog once?

did you mean: every interaction i have with @ataleofthousandstars? nope i am the least confrontational person you will ever meet

15. how do you feel about 'you need to reblog this' posts?

if i’d have reblogged it anyway, then i’ll probably reblog. if it’s something i wouldn’t normally reblog, then i won’t.

16. do you like tag games?

yep! being tagged in makes me smile and i like seeing people’s answers. i often forget to do them myself though dsfhskhjk

17. do you like ask games?

yes if it’s a good one (but it usually takes me ages to respond whoops)

18. which of your mutuals do you think is tumblr famous?

honestly i think i have a few who are probably quite well-known within the thai drama fandom? but tbh one of the reasons i like tumblr so much is because i feel like ‘fame’ doesn’t really exist in the same way on here. this whole site is designed to keep us humble

19. do you have a crush on a mutual?

i mean, i am Actually Completely In Love with my Actual Wife and Love of My Life @tichawongtipkanon but if you want to describe that soul-deep lifetime bond as a mere crush then who am i to stop you?

20. tags? i have no clue who’s done this yet but @jiang-yanlis @transking @itoldsunset @tichawongtipkanon @thanaerngs @tantawans @itoldconcreteaboutyou @teh-ohaew @sijipavilion @fushiguroo @curlykytta @musicdramalove (if all of you have been tagged before no you haven’t <3)

[tehohaews]

1. why did you choose your url?

Atots supremacy 😔✊ but no lol. I liked my prev url,seetians a lot, it was cute 🥺. But after the finale i had a lot of phutian feels and i wanted smth related to phutian. But all the pretty urls were taken 😭 so i was just trying combinations one day and i was like haha i bet the Ataleofthousandstars one is taken but still let me try it and then i got it!?!//! Helllpppp. But also yes atots supremacy 😔✊ i wanted to change it again but i feel a lot of ppl associate me with this url now so 🚶‍♀️🚶‍♀️ i dont want anyone to forget me

2. any sideblogs?

Atotsweek 😚😚 but tbh sideblogs are difficult to manage and jdjddj when someone likes the atotsweek posts from this blog, I get notifications for both blogs dudjdu its confusing 😩. Also i have to check everytime which blog im reblogging on. Anyway other than that I have 3 other sideblogs but i use those for saving textposts and resources and such so they are useless.

3. how long have you been on tumblr?

11 months 🚶‍♀️🚶‍♀️ gonna be a year next month 😩 im smoll okay!!

4. do you have a queue tag?

#q 😩 but i want to have a tag for my son Q with the fabulous bluenails but what do i do help 😩😩 his name is my queue tag

5. why did you start your blog in the first place?

Diidjdsijs i almost forgot about this omg. So I bought a new phone and then was like let me download many apps so that I'll look cool and cultured 🤪. But then after 5 months or so i was like im never gonna use all of these apps so i started deleting them and then i saw tumblr and went oohh whats this let me take a look and opened an account djdjjdjs. And I was in a sfh hyperfixation that time so i stayed for the sfh posts and then I watched h3 trapped (my first bl) > watched wyel > made content for wyel > somehow found 2g by gifs and the rest is history 😌

6. why did you choose your icon/pfp?

I found a lot of cool designs on pinterest and was like what if I use these ideas for my icon 🚶‍♀️🚶‍♀️ and tehohaew supremacy ofc 💞💞

7. why did you choose your header?

Cause im lazy and I literally giffed only that scene from ep2. And then i posted it TWICE and made it my header too. Work smarter not harder 😌 but also i like that shot? Like this is the equivalent of the sunset shot of itsay ep5 and i like it. Plus i added sparkles OBVIOUSLY but you cant see them unless you take a close look on it

8. whats your post with the most notes?

This 2g one but if we're talking about gifsets than the atots collage 💞

9. how many mutuals do you have?

I have no idea. I'm bad at following people back and sometimes I just let it be 🚶‍♀️🚶‍♀️ sorry besties, if we're not mutuals its not on purpose i just dont know that i dont follow you. Plus I tend to follow blogs who rb content from the 3 shows I watched so 🚶‍♀️🚶‍♀️yeah i dont follow a lot of ppl. But if I ever talked to you it means we are mutuals and i love you with my entire heart 💞💞

10. how many followers do you have?

🐓🐓🐓

11. how many people do you follow?

No idea

12. have you ever made a shitpost?

Everyday bestie 😚

13. how often do you use tumblr each day?

More like each minute 🚶‍♀️🚶‍♀️ i wish there was a way you could deactivate your blog without deleting it

14. did you have a fight/argument with another blog once?

Idk. Maybe? Maybe not? I tend to block people i dont like so 🤷‍♀️

15. how do you feel about 'you need to reblog this' posts? 

I rarely come across those

16. do you like tag games?

Yes 💞 but I only do it if I'm super bored and if I like the game(like this one).I love it when others think of me and tag me though 🥺

17. do you like ask games?

I like fandom related ask games. If you ask me to tell me 3 things about myself it will take me 3 months to answer 😭😭 I actually have a lot of asks in my inbox about that and I havent answered them, I'm sorry my mind is blank when it comes to personal questions 😭😭😭

18. which of your mutuals do you think is tumblr famous?

Everyone who gets atleast one note on their shitposting

19. do you have a crush on a mutual?

I would say Ellis but they havent talked to me in like almost a week and I'm sad and lonely 😩 Ellis come back, drop out of school and go to the beach with me 🥺💞 other than that I dont think so? Does @ppdchickencoop count? 🥰🥰
