[krash-and-co]

the real 35 portland row is located on tumblr dot com btw

[las-lus]

Tagged by @kalutyka whom i adore - thank you very much, dear <3

1. why did you choose your url?

Laslus has been my username since I was like 8 and named my blue Uni Laslus bc I thought it was a cute name. Then it slowly became my username in every platform and now Las is my nickname with mutuals <3

2. any sideblogs? if you have them, name them and why you have them.

Yeah! i have a study blog called @study-physics that i dont use half as much as i should. it motivates me to study and dear lord do i need motivation

3. how long have you been on tumblr?

This blog is 10 years old (so, 2011), but I previously had a harry potter blog that I created around 2009-2010 but deleted for some reason? i think maybe the kids from my middle school found about it? i cant remember sorry.

4. do you have a queue tag?

nope, i dont queue except for a few posts about specific dates. you get my insane posting schedule live :)

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

I was deep into harry potter and i wanted to find memes and art, but i was also depressed and quirky and in the early 2010s if you were quirky and depressed you came to tumblr

6. why did you choose your icon/pfp?

I love Loki from Loki Agent of Asgard/Young Avengers. its not that deep, sadly. When i was 16 i decided my icons would all be members of the Young Avenges (my pfp in Nyah! - a brazilian fanfic website is america chavez and my pfp at ao3 is also Loki but was Kate Bishop before) and i just never changed.

7. why did you choose your header?

I'm a scientist and sometimes i'm insane about it. I also love BDG

8. what’s your post with the most notes?

I actually ran my blog through this thing to find out. its this one about math, and its also the post im most proud of so :) this jatp shitpost is a close second tho

9. how many mutuals do you have?

I have no idea. i've been here for too long, sorry, but i have like 20-30 mutuals that i interact frequently with!

10. how many followers do you have?

2131 ! I gained a lot since I came back to the supernatural fandom (hi babes!!) but a bunch are deactivated/haven't posted in years (again, this blog is 10 years old)

11. how many people do you follow?

2518, but again a bunch are deactivated/haven't posted in years

12. have you ever made a shitpost?

yeah lmao

13. how often do you use tumblr each day?

More than i should have, i check the app a lot. i would say I'm sorry for the constant influx of reblogs, but I'm not

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

I dont think so? I've been a master at avoiding discourse in this hellsite.

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

i dont reblog them. I think they are awful.

16. do you like tag games?

Yes!!! I love them so much!! pls tag me on them

17. do you like ask games?

Same, i adore them and if you send me an ask game I'll love you forever.

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

Oh, i dont know? in my head @ravingliberal and@previouslysaltyfandombrat are quite popular, maybe i just think they are cool. @driverpicksthemooseic is twitter famous, does that count? @realrollypratt is fandom famous but only in the small niche that is LWD fandom (i do think she is too cool to be my mutual tho)

19. do you have a crush on a mutual?

I mean. yes. ofc i do.

20. tags?

ohh idk which one of you were already tagged but @queergoblin @fantastic-artemis @bygodstillam @the-sea-queen00 @previouslysaltyfandombrat @driverpicksthemooseic and @realrollypratt (but please feel free to answer it and tag me in it even if i didn't tag you, i love you, my memory just sucks)

one of the kids attacking you posted smth about "people like you" and then went on to say "you don't have to understand WHY you need to avoid them, just know you should bc I'm telling you" and it's literally the most unbelievable thing i have ever seen on this website. like that's what you're using your platform for...👏 idk why you're being attacked but i do know that these kids really need to go offline and live in the real world for a day maybe it'll teach them smth sorry not sorry 🤷🏻‍♀

What’s even better (and doesn’t make even an ounce of sense) is @itcouldbendoritcouldbreak saying that I’ve “been doing this kind of thing since 2016″ …

Like, first of all, bitch, I wasn’t even in the fandom then, and I didn’t start actively posting shit until like late 2017? Make it make sense!

Secondly, implying that I’d done something similar (as in writing a mildly suggestive fic), would mean I’d been doing it since 2016 too which… isn’t correct since, as I just said, I wasn’t in the fandom three years ago and I only started writing fics for them in 2018. Not to mention the fact that I’ve found a similar instance from last year, where another writer was being targeted by one of them because she wrote something vaguely suggestive and she got indirectly ‘called out’ for it. Their whole fucking agenda is based on calling out the people who write things they as a minority – with just one shared brain cell between them – don’t agree with. It says a lot that more people understand me than understand them. I’m just the target a bunch of mercenaries wants to take out for whatever reason.

I have to laugh though because I saw one of their tags that was like “she’s a popular blog why are people still following and befriending her ugh”………….. like, are they that jealous? That petty? Do they think assigning themselves fandom police duty is going to gain them some notoriety within a fucking fandom? Laughable. It’s a fandom, Carol. It’s not that deep. Or do they just want people to follow them when they go off on their pearl-clutching crusades against evil? From what I’ve been told by someone who’s had problems with the whole group before, they’ve got a very “our way or no way” mentality, even if you try to have a civil conversation. That’s toxic. You can’t dictate to your followers what should/should not be read or watched or enjoyed. Let people discover things for themselves – because, believe me, a lot of people jumped to conclusions based on their shitposts before they came to realize I wasn’t in the wrong – minors included.
