#i've just seen 3-4 moots making an account

[homosexualcitron]

man i really decided to leave all big social medias BUT tumblr aka the one where my oc art (= 80% of what i draw and probably more soon) get no attention at all

[playstation-dreamcast]

Hey so I'm going to make this as absolutely non-judgmental as possible, but I've been seeing a lot of people complaining about certain content in the tags again. I see more of those posts than I do the content people are talking about.

And look man, you absolutely DO NOT have to be okay or comfortable with seeing that kind of content. It's natural for it to make you feel kinda icky, especially of you have some trauma related to it. I get it.

But trying to censor the internet is a sysaphian task that you are not up to. You're only going to end up making yourself feel more bitter and angry and you're going to have a hard time enjoying the media you love because of it. You need to learn how to curate your own online experience.

So this is how you do it.

STEP ONE: BLOCK THE TAG:

Oh no! You've seen something and you didn't like it! That sucks! What do you do now?

1. Go to your tumblr homepage (this is for mobile btw but I can make one for desktop if wanted)

And click on the little gear icon (this is my main Blog btw)

2. Go to your account settings

Helpfully highlighted for you here.

3. Go to "Content You See"

You can manage a lof of your online experience under this tab btw

4. Go "Filtered Tags" and type in the tag you want to filter

AND VOILA!!! You won't be seeing anything tagged with that anymore!!!

"BUT AIDEN WAIT" I hear you cry, "WHAT ABOUT PEOPLE WHO DONT PROPERLY TAG THEIR CONTENT?!"

That is a major problem and those people suck!! So what do we do when we come across them??

STEP TWO: BLOCK THE USER

You fucking block them. It's not rude, it's not "losing" its just protecting you piece. Here's how

1. Click on the tumblr users name. Here's a rando I found on my dash

This will take you to their page.

2. Click the little person icon

You know the one!

3. Hit the block button.

It's right there. So pretty, so beautiful. Block button my beloved, I use her liberally.

Note: DO NOT HARRASS PEOPLE. DO NOT ANNOUNCE YOUR DEPARTURE, THIS IS TUMBLR NOT A FUCKIN AIRPLANE.

Harassing people because you don't like their content isn't going to make them stop posting it. Most times it makes them double down. All your doing is getting yourself worked up over nothing. It's hateful.

Just block them and move on with your day. You're going to feel so much better. You don't need to say your final piece, or attack someone about it. It just makes you look bad. Again, trying to censor the internet will get you no where and only hurt yourself more. Just block the tag, block the user, and enjoy the work that you actually like to see in this world. Please.

And if anyone comes into my inbox or at me on this post with any sort of hatefulness, I'll just assume you live a sad pathetic life and block you ✨️✨️ and then I'll go hang out with my chill ass moots and read my fluffy fan fic 💜💜

im an adult and i wanted to give you some piece of advice that maybe youve picked on while whatever drama was happening to you, let this be a lesson that you dont join a groupchat or make online friends again, these situations can build up frustration and guilt on a kid and this whole "slur, no slur" thing is absolutely one of the most ridiculous things ive ever heard of. tiring yourself out by sending anons to another girl youve fought with is highly immature and i dontmean this with harmful intent, its normal to not act aware or be developed at a young age, however, if you were as innocent as you claim (this goes to both parties) , seriously its best to get off the internet OR, keep making your moodboards, but no matter how annoying an ask or hater can be- dont care. dont mind them. its part of growth, have a calm day and i hope you learn from this. youll really regret making online deep connections and attachments when you are in my place now, looking into these creators who you used to be moots with from an old account who seemed like a cute friendgroup that now are acting just like middle school girls and that uncomforting feeling of "oh i wish they knew what i know, for they wouldnt be here fighting and getting balls deep into their feelings about these friendships". 🙋‍♀️

( Sorry this took so long but I'm done )

1. I'm an adult and i wanted to give you some piece of advice that maybe youve picked on while whatever drama was happening to you, let this be a lesson that you dont join a groupchat or make online friends again, these situations can build up frustration and guilt on a kid

Well adult anon I do have nice online friends which I have made so I can't say I'll completely not make any new ones but I'll definitely never involve myself into them again. And u are right this does build up frustrations and guilt cuz I regret my actions and I have apologized multiple times and the frustration I feel is cuz I listened to the other part attentively but all I have received are people in my comments defending their actions ( while the people involved are quiet )

2 and this whole "slur, no slur" thing is absolutely one of the most ridiculous things ive ever heard of.

It absolutely is ridiculous cuz we sorted and talked it out a week ago but Saraah brought it back up to switch up the narrative and just started new drama which I to explained here . I guess she never even understood why I was upset so instead of trying to learn my view ( while I did for her ) she just started something that wasn't necessary at all.

3 tiring yourself out by sending anons to another girl youve fought with is highly immature and i dont mean this with harmful intent,

I never sent anyone an anon at all. I have tried to reach out to them but I never went that low, I literally got a rude anon myself ( here) and everyone is calling me immature while we're forgetting that Saraah brought this on Tumblr and called Lia a slur as well but NOBODY called her out on her rude behaviour and when my elder sister told Lia what she said she didn't care ( which she can feel like that) . And I have not blocked anyone while I have been blocked my MANY because I am mature enough to let them explain themselves without jumping to my own conclusions. ( no shade to anyone at all )

4 its normal to not act aware or be developed at a young age

Adult anon i feel like a lot of people don't get that. Well I, was being immature and I have apologized for my actions, I knew and took accountability publicly ( and privately ) which I haven't seen Saraah do at all ( not that I can she blocked me ) but people are STILL calling me drama filled, rude, immature ( which they can feel like that ) , etc. all while supporting the girl who started this.

5 however, if you were as innocent as you claim (this goes to both parties) seriously its best to get off the internet OR, keep making your moodboards,

Well I've never claimed to be innocent at all I've just stated my side of the story and have debunked all the misinformation around me. And I'm definitely going to take a break because this is making me stressed and I'm tired of explaining myself, those who heard me out thank you, but I'm not going to speak to u again cuz I've lost trust with you AND those who actually reached out to hear me out I am very thankful for that.

6 but no matter how annoying an ask or hater can be- dont care. dont mind them. its part of growth, have a calm day and i hope you learn from this.

Yh I will definitely. I have realised that whether I am right or wrong, some of them don't care and they just don't like me and I have accepted that.

7 youll really regret making online deep connections and attachments when you are in my place now, looking into these creators who you used to be moots with from an old account who seemed like a cute friendgroup

Well I have and will be thoroughly distancing myself from now on. And I will most definitely look back at my account and regret all of this.

8 that now are acting just like middle school girls and that uncomforting feeling of "oh i wish they knew what i know, for they wouldnt be here fighting and getting balls deep into their feelings about these friendships". 🙋‍♀️

I mean anon don't forget that ( some ) we're middle schoolers. I think it shows in our reactions. While some have apologized ( me included ), others are just immature and just want a fight and I feel like it's best we don't interact with each other from here on.

In conclusion

Overall I get what u were trying to say and I will take some of this advice 🫶

[claradrawsstuff]

get to know your moots

thank you @loubetcha

what’s the origin of your blog title? it's pretty self-explanatory, but some lore ig: my social tag used to be claretta.darksky (my name and my warriors cat oc) and i changed it mostly for professionalism. My personal account for non-art things was clarahitsstuff, so now my art handle is claradrawsstuff

otp(s) + shipname(s): maybe its the ace in me but i've never been a huge shipper (i love a good ship im just never thinking about them lol). If I had to pick one it'd probably be msr just because the canon leaves them open to so much interpretation (I love normal msr but am also a huge fan of qpr msr or ace interpretations). Those kind of -beyond-romantic-feelings ships are my fav (soulmates but not necessarily romantic in every universe ykyk)

favorite color: red, but like... spotlight red. alternatively, neon orange

favorite game: galaga but im not good at it. baldur's gate 3 is special to me bc it's really the first online game i've played. Scrabble if you start making up rules. Dnd counts too kind of

song stuck in your head: Seek and Destroy by I Fight Dragons is on my mind more often than not. Currently also I've got The Melancholy Architecture of Storms by Remy Le Boeuf and Armageddon by Wayne Shorter floating around up there, too.

weirdest habit/trait? i don't know that i'm conscience of all of them lol. I have to lock cars and doors 2 or 4 times (specifically not 3) or i worry about them. I'm fairly vocal stim-y. I blush really harder when I'm talking about media i really like.

hobbies: DND! If I could breathe it, I would. I like analyzing media and leaving long reviews. Art (duh), music! I love to write but I've gotten away from it (I rp more often now bc its easier with my time commitments)

if you work, what’s your profession? i work as a stagehand at my college's concert hall! We get to set up audio and visuals for school events but also help load in/out touring shows (this year we're doing dance teams, a circus, a few broadway shows, etc!)

if you could have any job you wish, what would it be? I'd love to have a hand in all sorts of things but currently I think my dream job would be to help organize music festivals/performance events, and then perform on the side!

something you’re good at: I'd like to think I'm a good writer, my teachers keep telling me I am. Art and music (i hope lol), pretty okay at academics when i'm feeling good

something you’re bad at: self care omg. Tell me why I can't seem to fix my sleep schedule for the life of me.

something you love: media analysis! Music (really all but my specialties are jazz and percussion), sci-fi/fantasy

something you could talk about for hours off the cuff: dnd. literally for days, probably. Any fixation show/book/media. Music theory is pretty up there. Gender studies and feminism and how sociology and group psychology affects those.

something you hate: there's not really a whole lot that irks me. if anything i guessed i'd be like... rich person arrogance vibes (although ironically I love writing characters like that soo)

something you collect: anything ant-man (its not even that i care that much anymore i just can't stop), washi tape, lighthouse calendars

something you forget: everything but its a toss up. There are some things I'm really good at remembering but they correlate at all and the same goes for what I forget.

what’s your love language? quality time!

favorite movie/show: Shows: TXF, Quantum Leap (specifically the 89 one, i haven't seen the new one), Resident Alien, Arcane, SPY x FAMILY, recently got into Dandadan, Supernatural is a new one for me too but it's good, Dungeon Meshi! Movies: Everything Everywhere All At Once. Any of the spiderverse movies are good, FernGully and Tangled and Treasure Planet were my childhood ones that i still watch, im sure there are others but my memory eludes me

favorite food: steaks up there. corn on the cob, like a good melt

favorite animal: BATS!!

what were you like as a child? really quiet socially but I opened up so much when I was comfy, nerdy, i did not gaf about people's opinions of me (unless it came to my hobbies, weirdly enough), awkward (i still am)

favorite subject at school? techincally i guess itd be music but that always felt like an exracurricular to me. My actually favorite class would've been calculus or maybe physics (the class wasn't that good but i love physics enough that it didn't matter), which is ironic bc i dont use either of those at all anymore

least favorite subject? history maybe, but it wasn't the subject i think it was just the class structure, i enjoy it more in college

what’s your best character trait? my optimism (i hope)! I like to think of myself as pretty upbeat.

what’s your worst character trait? horrible procrastinator. I also second guess myself a lot.

if you could change any detail of your day right now what would it be? it's been a horrific bedrot day for me so really anything. maybe that i had done my homework eariler instead of letting it loom over me.

if you could travel in time who would you like to meet? maybe like, Einstein. i think he'd be cool (unfortunately not an ideal time to be a time traveling woman)

recommend one of your favorite fanfics: im still trying to get more into fanfic. Here's a couple i've enjoyed so far. Queen of Swords by Labyrinth01 - character study-esque fic of Scully's recovery after her coma in s2. Stews in the reality of recovery, her relationship with Mulder is so in-character in the way that if this was in the show, i would believe it. the dusting of fall (the ridges of your bones) by the_raving_raven - one of my fav fics and i haven't even finished it. Super slow moving, so angsty, a big character study fic for dean winchester but it also delves into a really painful process of addiction recovery from sam and some of castiel's 'religious' trauma as well. Tomorrow is Long by SamQuixote - de-age supernatural fic but its the angsty kind instead of the shenanigans kind. an interesting study on dean's mentality and thought processes Cheer For Me? by darlingSuperstition - a lighter recommendation compared to the other three lol. this is a ranma1/2 fic but its like... secret identity mutual pining cheerleading au and for me not being a huge fluff person, i love it
