#i was searching THEIR blog to see if a blog who rbed from them was a transphobe

[neechees]

I was searching this blog to try see if they wrre biphobic, & literally the only nice thing they had to say about bi people (before I started to stop bc I'd had enough) was calling lady Gaga a "bi icon", & every other post was basically them just being perpetually annoyed by bi people. Blocked, obviously

[fahbev]

this is tumblr. Posts that are just one sentence or a single image— even just a single word can get a fuck ton of reblogs. I’ve seen a post that was just “balls” get thousands of notes. Also on that was “your morher” (with the typo)

When I made this account I had expected for a max of ten people to interact with it, a lot more than three people have interacted with it.

It’s like a jump scare every time I get a notification

Thank you for inviting people to donate. I hope you can donate too. Thank you very much. I need to collect donations to protect the family situation. It is very difficult in Gaza.

Please send your friends to donate to me. I need to help my family and provide for my son’s needs. I have never asked anyone before. I graduated from law school. I am a lawyer, but because of the occupation, everything was destroyed and I had to ask for help and assistance. I am desperate for every amount. I ask you to cooperate with me and donate. Your friends for being able to secure my son's life

Vetted by 90-ghost

Hi, i hope you and you son gets out of this alive and well.

@mutuals (or any follower, really. But especially mutuals) please dont ignore this or other posts. Ik it can be overwhelming sometimes, but rbing can help a lot. If you can, please donate and if you're like me and have no money to donate, rbing and spreading posts can help a lot cuz at some point someone who has the money will see the posts you rbed and donate to the fundraisers.

If you're unsure whatever its a spam or not, you can just search the person url and you will see if a reliable and trusted person/source vetted them OR you can go to palestinian blogs such as @/90-ghost and ask them. It's fast, it takes no more than 5 minutes. I also know there's spreadsheets/lists going around and i will check these later as well, you can do that as well. (rn I have a cold so i dont really have much spoons to do that)

Also, please rb even if it doesn't fit your blog "aesthetic". People (especially of children and eldery) lifes are at stake here.

[doorfus]

fyi the account you rbed this from is marked red in shinigami eyes jsyk https://www.tumblr.com/doorfus/734006806600433664/shadow-siren-island-dinodanicus-a-lone?source=share

Hello! They are my mutual, who reguarly posts trans affirming content (& affirming content for rest of the rainbow family). Idk why they ever got red flagged.

Shinigami Eyes isn't 100% accurate & I suggest if you see someone flagged, to try to search their blog for evidence of bigotry (or affirming things!) before blocking them. (/genuine, well-meaning intention)

Edit: But please continue to tell me if I am accidentally rb from an actual bigot

I love the Ghost Hunters AU and I really want more of Salem. Especially Salem with the Milkovich siblings.

🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺 thank you. ive always wanted a black cat named either princess or salem and i thought it would make sense since its a ghost hunter au (even tho i skipped over all the ghost stuff so my post wasnt a million words long) with terry not around i feel like the milkoviches would love playing with animals. Salem is a very adventurous, people-loving cat! you know, the kind of cat people say were a dog in their past life. of course she loves the gallaghers too! even carl makes a point to be nice to her (after, when she was a kitten, ian beat him up for making a joke) but the milkoviches dont really get to show affection ever, so they love getting to play with her and scratch her lil belly and give her treats they stole from the pet store. they all adore her but ofc after ian and mickey get together and he comes over to the gallaghers a shitton, mickey becomes her 2nd dad. he goes to the top of her favorite people list. nobody else plays with her the way he does! hes not afraid to get a little rough, but he knows whats signs to look out for when a cat is not playing/irritated. shes still young and she loves playing!! imagine toddlers who like getting thrown around because its fun, shes like that. she gets kicked out and put in a different room when they fuck, and she uses this time to get in as much trouble as possible, knock shit over, and annoy anyone else in the house. ALSO she LOVES liam!! they literally grow up together and fiona teaches him how to treat animals so by the time hes like 5, she moves from sleeping with ian to sleeping with liam

i imagined ian and mandy meeting at the same time, so when salem is 2 that would be s3 ish. when he first found her, ian had just started his job and scrounged up every penny he could find to take her to a low cost clinic to get spayed and vaxxed. other than being skinny and dehydrated (and ofc separated from her mom as a kitten) she was in surprisingly good shape! now shes so used to being spoiled by everyone! ian LOVES taking care of others and being of service so he really found a home in Salem, treating her like his kid and giving her the best life possible. i definitely think once he gets diagnosed with BD, he pays (with mostly mickeys money lbr) for her to be his emotional support animal and takes her to as many pet friendly places at possible!

like i said she becomes kinda the mascot of the ghost hunting youtube channel they eventually start. its not something they see as a career or anything, they do it as a hobby, but they gain decent attraction and make extra money on the side from ads and a few brand deals. ofc Salem is the reason everyone watches the channel 🙄 she's in pretty much every video, and they chose her as their icon bc 1. black cat spooky duh 2. she brought them together 🥺 3. she really does show up A LOT in videos, especially when they're not urban exploring/hunting and at home recording the historical backgrounds and debriefings for each location. also yes they do urban exploring as well, thats mainly mickey and mickey and whatever milkovich wants to tag along and graffiti an abandoned building. imagine a combination of The Watcher and Dan Bell (omfg now im imagining them doing Another Dirty Room???? 😭 they would be so offended at paying money for rooms worse than their own back in the southside) but with less production value

ok omg i wrote so much im gonna stop now before i go off the rails again. how did i fall in love with this random ass au from a trope generator. reminder that i accidentally deleted the og post so it wont turn up in searches unless youre on my blog or the blog of anyone else who rbed it :)

[swordcats]

follow people! :) we rely heavily on our dashboards which are built through the people we follow, which is why we consider reblogging so important because the only stuff that appears on the dash is the stuff that those we followed reblogged. its not often ill find memes or news in, say, fandom tags, but if i follow people from said fandom then they'll put it on the dash for me by rbing it from the people they follow. its unfortunately quite different from reddit as i guess you build a subreddit for yourself? but its a system that works quite well once you follow enough people

to find people to follow just start in the tags and follow randomers who have posted some fanart or a meme or whatever, then follow the people they've reblogged from, maybe the op of some of the posts they've rbed, etc etc etc. and, importantly, if someone you follow does end up posting stuff you dont enjoy, you can absolutely unfollow or even block them if you fancy. tumblr embraces the block button wholeheartedly. ive blocked someone because i didnt like the colour scheme of their blog. its a totally normal and expected practice here!

this all being said, some tips for the tags themselves because they are used and browsed, just not as often

sometimes you'll find that some communities do have certain tags for certain kinds of discussions. if you do find a post you're particuarly interested in, try checking the tags of the post just to see

if you're not wanting to see fanart, try blacklisting the word 'fanart', even if its just temporary. it'll help you sift through

you can also change the post types to text in the search function if you want to avoid fanart

thats all ive got. feel free to ask anything else and i hope this helped! :) good luck!

Reddit refugee here. I have an 11 year old account but I don’t want to interact with the site, at the very least until the API and pricing details are changed.

but how do you use tumblr in a similar way? i wanna find memes like you’d get on r/196 or news on niche/rapidly updating topics? like i get that it had to do with tags but i can’t seem to get much more than fan art when i search for specific topics or info that’s older. am i just using the site wrong?

also only using the app rn so idk if it’s super different on desktop

[blueprint-han]

I’m just gonna say it, you talk so much about supporting fic writers but you only reblog and recommend fics from members of your writers clique and your friends. This isn’t meant to be hateful but please consider practicing what you preach.

I'm sorry? No hate here from my side too; but a) why is it that the moment I talk about how fanfic authors are struggling for feedback and validation on literally two posts it's “so much” for people to handle? And b) the fics I recommend here are only half the fics I recommend, I have a separate rec blog which if you'd gone through my page you'd know. Plus, yeah lol. Most of the sfw writers for skz are infact mutuals/friends with me (and I can guarantee you on that), and when I see their latest release, I quickly dive in to check their work. Does that mean I only read fanfic from my friends? No. Yes, I have authors who I read religiously and I happen to be friends with them too, but you can't tell me no one has that. There are still friends who i haven't read a single fic from. Does that mean they're not my, in your words, "friend of part of my writers clique"?

This is what I hate about vocalising this like to reblog issue. Creators are immediately hit for any of their actions and are "told to practice what they preach" even if they did so already. If you're talking about my bookshelf tag which you've gone through (or perhaps you just saw the first post and commented, I have no idea), most of the fics I've reblogged to there (and my rec account too actually), I've discovered these authors by searching the tags myself, I became friends with the authors after that. So I do understand what must've come off if you saw that and went “:O omg most of the stuff she's rbed are from moots”.

So if I were to go with your analogy, almost every fic I reblogged from someone would've been from my "friends or part of writers clique". But it's not. Look, idk about you, but I've discovered countless new authors by searching the tags myself from the time I've come here in the last six months and I have rbed every fic I read. It's not like I have some “bias” towards fics put out from my friends, though I do have people who I read religiously from. Know the difference, and next time please come off anon, because that'll make easy and a lot less nerve wracking for me because seeing something on anon often sparks anxiety for me. :)

[falsegoodnight]

hi! i recently picked up writing again and i’m almost done with my first fic (!!!!)

what advice do you have for a new writer to get their work out to other people? i feel like self promo is suuuuper awkward but i have literally no idea what to do lol

(s/o to all of my other awkward writers... join the club)

hi! first of all, CONGRATULATIONS on almost finishing your first fic!! that’s a big deal and i hope you’re proud of yourself! 

as for your question: i’m going to be honest and say it’s really hard to get your work out especially when it’s your first but there are definitely things that help! 

first off: fic posts

this may seem obvious but it’s really important! there are readers that check the newest fics on ao3 when looking for something to read but there’s also so many people that find fics to read from fic posts on tumblr and twitter that are rbed/rted onto their dash/tl. it’s one of the best ways to tell people you wrote a fic and they can read it right now!!

more under cut!

some things to keep in mind:

- moodboards/graphics catch the eye of potential readers and also often give them an idea into what the fic is about. i know it may seem intimidating to make a moodboard (especially if you’ve never done it before) but they can really be as simple or complicated as you like! some general tips are to include the main characters (if this is louis x harry, then include them both), have somewhat of a color scheme, and incorporate other significant elements (can be places, pets, objects, etc) from your story. use other moodboards as inspiration!!

- make sure to have the LINK. this may be self-explanatory but it’s truly so important. if there’s no link then anyone that sees it will have to look it up if they want to read - one more step that may just make them not bother in the first place.

- include important info such as the summary, rating, and word count!! those all help potential readers determine if a fic will be up their alley or not.

also, you can tag accounts on tumblr that will reblog your fic post and expose it to a bigger audience. for a harry/louis pairing, you can tag @/hljournal, @/hlcreators, @/hlsource, and @/yourlarrysource among others i may be forgetting. @/1dsource extends to any 1d-related pairings, and @/tracksintheam is a tag checked by a lot of people too and extends to any sort of created content. @/blouisparadise will rb your fic post if the fic is bottom Louis and/or omega Louis (any pairing). there’s plenty of other accounts that you can look into for tagging but unfortunately only the first five tags will show up when using the search function so you may have the prioritize.

there are also single accounts that will rb your your fic posts if you ask nicely!! just remember that no one is entitled to promote your stuff especially if they don’t know you. i’m pretty sure there’s some lists out there with a lot of people that will boost your fic posts but i can’t remember any off the top of my head!

and this is more so for future projects when you’ve gained a bit more of an audience (even if that audience is three people!! three people who are genuinely intrigued and interested in your writing is incredible!!!) but posting snippets and teasers is a great way to build up anticipation and excitement for fics!! i’ve seen a direct correlation with how many snippets and teasers i share and the reactions when the fic comes out.

involving people through polls, surveys, and requests is something else to consider! i did this with my peach fic most notably and it had the biggest debut of all my fics on ao3!! it can be for anything from side pairings, title ideas, plot directions, or name for pets!! i know i’d definitely feel more like reading a fic if i helped play a role in it somehow!!

(some other little things i do are add a count down to my display name on tumblr from three days to “today!” and also make posts on twitter/tumblr saying i have a fic coming out in a week, etc—)

the main thing to remember is that there’s no shame in self-promo (again, when you’re polite and respectful about it) - self-rb as much as you want, post as many snippets as you can, mention it to your friends, etc.

also just want to take the time to remind you: don’t get discouraged if your fic posts don’t get as many notes as you’ve seen others (often from already-”established” writers or bigger blogs) how many people see or read your fic is never a true indicator of its worth nor is it a judgement on you or your abilities!! there’s so many factors involved with things like this (including time of day when you post, time of day when people who reblog are reblogging, the tropes or themes of your fic— some are more popular than others in this fandom, for better and worse) and what’s most important at the end of the day is the people who do read the fic and enjoy it. not how many of them there are but just the fact that there are. someone, likely many someone’s, are going to adore your writing and be grateful for the story you share!

(i also just want to say that the first fic i ever posted doesn’t have any fic post - okay, it has one random tweet with 14 likes that i posted about four months later - and i wrote and posted the entirety of it without having tumblr and only twitter in the last couple of months and it’s to this date one of my most read fics— sometimes people just find and read a fic by their own accord)

anyways i don’t know if any of this made sense or if it could be qualified as helpful but i hope it is in at least a small way. i wish you all the luck with finishing your fic and posting! again, it’s such an accomplishment to even write something in itself. (feel free to send me the fic post if you decide to post too!!)

[much-brighter-ink]

i know ur opinions on the ships we share so how abt bates/baxter, thomas/daisy (platonically ofc), rose/tom (idk why i just had that thought they’re both pretty and she reminds me so much of sybil actually omg fuck), mrs patmore/mrs hughes, robert/bates, cora/o’brien, cora/baxter (a sudden Thought)

@marv-llous OOH these are very cool, putting the list below! 

A+: OTP

A: I love it

B: It’s really cute

C: Not a bad ship

D: I’m neutral on it

E: I don’t really like it

F: NOTP

N/A: I don’t know the ship well enough 

Bates/Baxter: C! I will go on about their parallels - both are reformed criminals who were forced to take the blame for a crime orchestrated by a person manipulating them, then refuse to discuss the events because they think the people they love have very strong moral values and don’t want to disappoint them (both are very mysterious and kind yet soft-spoken) so as you said I like to think they probably knew each other pre-canon (Baxter mentioned living in London, or prison) and they’d both probably understand each other pretty well (also... Bates has a thing for lady’s maids...)

Thomas/Daisy: A! BROTP!! Let them be friends in canon!! (mlm/wlw solidarity for the win)

Rose/Tom: C, you’re right she’s like Sybil with the spunk turned up (and also later Tom has the wisdom and seriousness that Sybil added to their early relationship)!! I don’t really ship it romantically because he’s 15ish years older than her (I could be wrong? I think he’s a little older than Mary and she’s 20ish) but they’d be a power duo, I definitely see it platonically!

Mrs. Patmore/Mrs. Hughes: A, they are wives and I love them (they’re a power couple and support each other and are the mitochondria of the downstairs!! We deserved more sweet moments from them) 

Robert/Bates: B, I love their relationship and there’s absolutely no way they didn’t have some kind of romantic affair earlier on (esp before/after/during the war!!) 

Cora/O’Brien: C, it’s p much acknowledged (I think) in canon that they have a thing for each other and tbh I wish the show’d explored it (pining and there’s also ✨drama✨ what with O’Brien’s crimes and stuffs but the fact that Cora’s one of the few people O’Brien softens up to is such an angst factor and ye olde angst is wonderful) 

Cora/Baxter: B! Search “cora crawley” on my blog (it should come up near the top bc I don’t think I’ve posted much about her!), I rbed some amazing fanart of them awhile ago and I’ve been thinking about it ever since... (again bit of an odd power dynamic in most of the employer/servant relationships so all of those are ones where the power should balance out a little if they were to get together in canon but since we’re talking about the ship in theory? it is a Thought and I like that... there would be a lot of soft comfort 🥺)

[hprse]

Because i was asked, here is a somewhat longwinded context/explanation, trigger warnings under the cut:

[DISCLAIMER: this isnt a "callout" for pgp. I will provide context for why i am uncomfortable with seeing pgp on my dash, however as far as im aware a vast majority of it is several years old.]

[TRIGGER WARNINGS: mentions of (fictional) rape, underaged porn, pedophilia, incest.]

[anything in quotation marks with an asterisk beside it i will explain in the terms that i intend them to be seen as at the end of the post.]

Ok so this is a ss of the post in question, "pgp" being a shortened version of the poster's url

This post in particular about over the top thought processes and mind-pretzels that some "antis"* will go through in order to call people out. Its something that even "antis" can agree with, and "what the fuck?" to. It ends with this context

I wont lie if i hadnt stopped and thought about who was posting this and why, as well as looked to both the og poster from twitter and the poster on tumblr, i probably would have rbed it.

In case you arent aware, sheith is a ship from voltron that has caused quite a lot of controversy, which honestly i dont want to get into right now seeing as im worried this post is already going to get long (and im just generally not informed on it because im not into voltron and havent been since the early seasons.). I know controversy over something ≠ something is bad, however personally i greatly distrust people who ship it seeing as they are typically "proship"*, which, if you know anything about me, i am heavily against. Sheith is something that instantly puts me on edge in this matter.

[DISCLAIMER AGAIN: i would like to reiterate that this is NOT a callout post. I am not calling for a witchhunt. I am not saying this as some sort of smear campaign or anything. In fact the og post of this was more of a mini vent, and it so happened that some people were curious so im just explaining. These events are issues from several years ago, and i have no idea if pgp has changed or not, but i am simply uncomfortable with them and the fact that people im following are rbing their posts which are already incredibly popular with proshippers is just uncomfortable.]

I would like to say that you WILL get a more indepth description as well as proof of these things by simply googling it.

The long and short of it all is that pgp used to be an active participant in the homestuck fanbase. During this time they had an AU called "parentstuck" in which they wrote rape fanfiction and drew at least one comic depicting rape involving their characters, and proceeded to deny that it was rape because "both characters messed up".

Outside of this, they have also said that being attracted to teenaged and younger characters into your 20s and further is okay because they are fictional, as well as having a several year history of just being very proship in general, and strongly against antis, seemingly under the idea that fiction does not affect reality in that manner.

I will say AGAIN that this is the short explanation. You will get further explanations as to why im uncomfortable with them with quick google searches or even searching through their blog. If you would like any links to past "callout" posts which include links and proof as well as more in depth explanations please message me or send me a NON-anon ask.

I will be turning off anon for the next few days just in case, because i know people can get feisty which is incredibly sad.

And once more. Please, please do not hunt pgp down or whatever. I started this as a genuine small, lowkey vent in which i was tired of seeing someone i was personally uncomfortable with showing up on my dash because people either werent aware/did not quite realize what they were spreading- because AGAIN, i would have likely reblogged the post as well if i hadnt noticed.

*ANTI: someone who DOES NOT support the shipping of fictional incest, pedophilia, rape, etc, typically under the idea that fiction does affect reality

*PROSHIP/PROSHIPPER: someone who is either "neutral" on the anti vs proship topic or someone who DOES ship fictional incest, pedophilia, rape, etc, typically under the idea that fiction does not affect reality.

Might start flirting w the block button again if i have to keep seeing that fucking pgp post with the "anti opinions" map on my dash

[aerisse-remade]

so i finally decided to answer this ship question thing i rbed awhile ago just bc i feel like talking abt ships. everything is gonna b under a cut + no ships are going to be tagged so if u find this thru the search function then ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

this is also very long

1. honestly?? probably raven/starfire. ive shipped that since i was like 5 or 6. i cant really say much abt it bc it's never been real important to me, tho i still like it

2. ig 3 important ships throughout my life have been mayutei, negitoro, and kaimei lmao. honestly mayutei is like. my ultimate otp. mostly bc theyre my fave vocaloid/utaus and i tend to ship my faves together but i do think that they're really cute. negitoro was one of the first f/f ships that i loved and still continue to love, esp after that drama that i got into over it a year ago lmfao. also magnet is still one of the best vocaloid songs so. i cant really say why kaimei means so much to me, it just does. kaito and meiko were literally made for each other. not in a ship sense, but like. in a complementary vocals kinda way. crypton literally made kaito to match/blend well with meiko

3. my current otps are mayutei (obviously), negitoro, kaimei, jasprose (from su), and rupphire. there are more that i really like, but nowhere near to the level of these 5. these 5 are like. the holy grail of my ships

4. god i have a lot of notps lmfao. my main one would probably be jaspis bc i hate it with the intensity of a million blazing suns lmao. i also really hate kailen, rinlen, jaspearl, grasper, pretty much any ship involving jasper and a man, pearl and a man, and garnet and a man. bc theyre all lesbians ofc. theyre are a lot of other ships i hate but it would take me like 5 hrs to list them all

5. yeah!! i really love polypearls and polydiamonds. i also like poly cool kids, mayu/rin/oliver, and mayu/rin/tei. theres probably more but i cant think of them

6. idk i guess they can be intriguing if done well nd it involves characters i like. i dont like most of them tho. they tend to be super unnecessary

7. absolutely disgusting and creepy. real people arent fictional characters, stop treating them like it.

8. LMFAO YEA AND I STILL DO

9. yeah i mean. the majority of my ships are vocaloid/utau and they have no canonical relationships (other than some canon siblings)

10. yeah, same as above.

11. i guess rupphire? like... none of my other ships have canonically kissed i think

12. i am super disappointed in canon/modern lapidot. i miss old school lapidot, like before peridot lost her limb enhancers tbh. ig its technically not canon but whatever. im also super tired of seeing it fucking everywhere

13. in canon? no. in fanfics/art/other fan created stuff? yeah

14. frustrating. i dont like it

15. JASPROSE. and rupphire ofc. also polypearls ig

16. mayu/oliver. its like. one of my het vocaloid otps now but i used to hate it bc back when mayu was first announced ppl started shipping her w oliver nd i didnt like that bc i shipped myself with oliver lmfao (i was like 13 at the time)

17. i dont know... im kinda starting to lose interest in modern lapidot. but i still have some hope.

18. earthlings has made me question shipping jasprose. i mean, rose is the entire reason for almost all of jasper's suffering. but at the same time, without rose, jasper would likely never exist since she was made for the rebellion. i still love this ship a lot but now im starting to feel kinda bad abt shipping it...

19. i dont think so? wtf does this even mean

20. MAYU/TEI!!!! also jasprose lmao

21. plenty. like garnet/amethyst, i do actually get why ppl ship them tho. i just dont ship it myself. its good, but i dont ship it. also pretty much every other ship with jasper (except jaspidot. i actually do dislike it)

22. definitely rupphire!!

23. LAPIDOT

24. i do have a lot of canon ships!! (rupphire, gregrose, pearlrose, usamamo, etc) but i wouldnt say that the majority of them are canon

25. pharmercy. i still dont give a shit about overwatch but i love pharmercy

26. the only "pattern" in my ships is that theyre usually f/f. other than that, i dont think so

27. negitoro and kaimei!! mayutei is an old ship of mine, but not as old as these two. oh, and sakuino is also a really old ship of mine lmao. i dont really care abt naruto anymore but i absolutely love sakura and ino's dynamic

28. honestly yeah i think so!! some ships i have to warm up to, but usually i see or think of smth i even slightly like and im just like. hell yeah this shits good

29. mmmm i dont think so? i really like heathers and svtfoe and i dont have any real intense ships for those

30. pokemon

31. i have a headcanon that after mayu and tei meet, tei isnt obsessed with len anymore, nor does she hate every vocaloid (she still hates miku tho). i also hc that tei's obsession with len also extends to rin

32. i only have 1 and that is Next On by Oeuf Trick. its negitoro and its so fuckin good pls read it

33. uhh for rupphire ig my fave would be jen-iii? i dont have any other fave artists for my ships, nor do i really have any fave fanartists in general

34. im not really interested in fanmixes bc i dont like to be forced to listen to music i dont personally like lmfao

35. me B^). bc im the only one who ships mayutei. and for the others i dont really kno bc theyre either too obscure to have fanblogs or theyre just too many. also i dont really follow ship blogs other than two general f/f ships blogs and 1 jasprose blog (which i think is called cheetopetals? lmfao)

36. i only do fanart

37. ...not really

38. some of them yea, others dont have ship names so i come up w them myself (mayutei being one of them. like 4 yrs ago i had another name for them which was yandere yuriloids lmfao)

39. like a relationship that i would like my own to be like? definitely rupphire. ruby and sapphire have the ideal relationship tbh

40. i want actual content for mayutei thats not by me

[supercomputerz]

hey, aghostlad, who you rbed from is an exclusionist! if you search ace on their blog you can see.

oh man oh shit i didnt see this until now and i think i rbed something from them a long time ago
