Hey important ooc announcement here....

Trigger warning before I say anything else, Trigger warning for real child gore and animals

I'm going to take a break for awhile, you see I saw real gore of real children. I am quessing this sicko got this gore from online by actual police photos of the corpses of these poor children because I remember awhile on Tiktok someone educating people to not use real gore of real people for Art reference and one of these reasons they gave is that the real gore was photos posted by sick police officers or sick hackers/leakers without the victim's family or friends consent to share them online, making these images easily accessible. (Idk why artists were doing that, Ig there are artists who do that)

Also I blocked all these sickos on my main account and I blocked the og poster of the child gore on the rp account I got exposed to. I don't fancy blocking all those sickos on all my accounts because some of those sickos post real gore of animals and children and I do not want to be exposed to real gore again.

So I'm going unfollow the Mouthwashing tag. I really appreciate any mooties DMing to tell me the problem is solved or gone so I can go back to posting silly Polle content since I made this account for fun.

Anyways, please be careful because there are these sickos running around the Mouthwashing fandom and harassing fans of Mouthwashing.

Please take care of yourself.

Welcome, this blog is full on delusional and crossover art/stuff between the Digimon TV series protags. Ah, and stuff from that peculiar XW AU setting i didn't shut up about on my artblog last year LOL.

Expect chaos and shitposts here. Also some canon divergence because some series i didn't rewatch for a long long time ago.

There's only love and unhinged energy here. Daisuke might be present in most of those because yeah, i love this kiddo a lot.

I won't tolerate any series/game/manga hate in this space. If you don't like any of them, please unfollow/block me instead.

Askblog → @tomorrows2top Artblog → @digitalgate02

Call me Ni (she/they), btw. Please be over 18+ to follow this blog, since some stuff might be not recommended for minors (mostly language, i don't draw/write NFSW/smut stuff). And don't steal or edit my stuff please! If you don't agree with my headcanons or ideas please politely block or mute this account 💦 I accept fact checking/corrections, but as long they're done in a non-passive-aggressive or non-mockery sense. And yeah, my English my not be perfect as well (and i can only read kanji and so little stuff in Japanese, having to double check stuff with friends with better skills than mine orz)

Blog status: lurking

↓ Some important things to be said regarding asks are below the cut ↓

I won't write/draw AUs or Stories/Fanfictions, OCs or even headcanons/theories from other people. Even the old ones i've collaborated with i prefer to not touch them again (because, i lost contact with people and also lost all the posts/details of them )

Please avoid sending me many of "what do you think of [X]" questions because sometimes those kiiiinda make me get no idea what to answer, or perhaps i've been answered/posted something related to it before. Even so, if you would like to send one of those, first check if i hadn't answered it or something similar to it first!

At this moment, this blog is me being delusional about the AU thingy on the pinned post. Most of those posts might be about them.

My memory is foggy about certain series, so if i end up misremembering something... Yeah, please contact me asap.

I know i've said this on countless accounts but, I have little to zero knowledge of the American dub, so my portrayal/answers/headcanons/etc are all based on the original Japanese version and sometimes stuff borrowed from the BRPT dub (which is mostly the same as the original JP for most of the series -- except Fusion). So please, don't assume that I had watched the US dub or that I am American.

My stance on the digimon (monsters) are that there's more than one of each species within the multiverse. So, Daisuke's V-mon/Magnamon, OG & Reboot Taichis' Agumon/Omegamon and Takato's Guilmon/Dukemon are not related to the Royal Knights.

I will follow all canon material if possible when working with canon versions of the characters, BUT only what i can work with. If something gets in conflict with the main TV series (Adv99-02-Tamers-Frontier-Savers-XW-Appmon-Adv2020-GG) i will reject the contradictions and use only the stuff not affected or influenced by it. Basically playing with the idea the events we know in certain media are played differently in-universe, adopted from Pixiv Dictionary. Explained better by Shiha in this post here.

I don't like passive-aggressiveness. If you have something to correct in my posts, please do it politely.

Usual common etiquette -- No hatred towards people's religions, sexual/romantic orientation, gender (or lack of), PoC, ethnicities, etc. I won't hesitate to block if needed.

Do not edit my art or repost it. If you wanna use it as an icon/sidebar, ask first. And no, you cannot use my art on A/I & N/F/T for ANYTHING. If you do that, I will block you immediately.

If you like, ship them in the age of the AU setting, please don't ship the adults with the minors. I beg you to not tag me in anything suggestive about 20yo!Daisuke/Tagiru. Please. (however i do accept any adult Daisuke/Takato and adult Takuya/Daisuke SFW content.)

Fucking gatekeeping, Jackassrys shippers. The traitors to the J0n$a fandom. Stay the fuck in your lane.

OH. MY. FUCKING. GOD. WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS?

"rape deception" ? "RAPE DECEPTION"? WHAT IN THE FUCKING HELL IS THAT?? I don't want to hop on other's posts nor hijack so I decided to make my own. (Also I don't want it to show up in the tags)

Rape is a very bad thing to accuse someone of, whether in real life or fiction. TV shows and movies are often dragged for portraying rape scenes and now I hear that here in the fandom some are freely accusing a well loved character of the most vile crime, one whose honour is undoubtedly the most important aspect of his being? Just because you arseholes can't accept the undercover-J0n-playing-D@ny meta/tinfoil/speculation that's going around and you feel that it's your fucking entitlement to shit on it? Why? Because you wrote the fucking books? Because you and GRRM are tight buddies and he told you all the plotlines and endgames? Or because you're just fucking sore that Jackassrys is a doomed ship and your precious Dimwit Tallyhoe is a shit ruler and crappy game player? Or you feel you are entitled to say whatever shit that comes out of your heads because you've been in the fandom longer than everyone else? Newsflash dumb dumbs, nobody fucking cares about your hierarchy and gate-keeping in the fandom. And if you don't have anything better to offer or counter offer, spec/tinfoil/meta or otherwise, don't even say anything. Shut yer gap.

You fuckwits better stop using words you do not fucking understand. Do you actually know what 'rape' means? I can't believe I'm doing this but the Salt Goddess in me compels me so -

Textbook definition:

(now) The taking of something by force; seizure, plunder. [from early 14th c.] ▼ (now) The abduction of a woman, especially for sexual purposes. [from 15th c.] ▼ The act of forcing sexual intercourse upon another person without their consent or against their will; originally coitus forced by a man on a woman, but now any sex act forced by any person upon another person. [from 15th c.] ▼ (obsolete) That which is snatched away. ▼ (obsolete) Movement, as in snatching; haste; hurry.

*by force; without consent; against their will; snatched away

Which one of those words did you dumbfucks did not understand? I hate saying this but somehow or rather I feel I should - because you shitheads have fucking triggered me and made me and everyone else in the fam uncomfortable, so I think you should feel the same bitterness - as someone who has had first hand experience with rape, sexual assault, forced against my will to do something I did not want by someone I trusted - you shitposters are all idiots for using that word to describe at best, what could be a possible case scenario that instigated the boresex acted upon by two grown ass characters (on the show at least) who were NOT IN ANYWAY forced, coerced against their will.

Boresex wasn't rape. Dimwit Tallyhoe gave her word to fight alongside J0nny and J0nny, the handsome idiot that he is, willingly pledged his fealty to her. I'm sure the sex was just them trying to solidify that partnership whatever the fuck that was written. It was not stated if there was somehow a scene where they both forced each other to have sex with one another (??) to get something that they want. Which would be kinda stupid since they both already assumed they already have it and this one final thing they're doing are just them trying to further reinforce what they want/have from the other party - or whatever the amazing unercover J0n metas say.

I may have zero belief in the undercover plot and I may be anti J0n right now and anti d@ny but I do not feel the need to shit on those posts and stir up drama. And accuse those metas by calling such vile names. I don't agree with the metas as amazing as they are ONLY BECAUSE D&D AREN'T CLEVER WRITERS AND THEY HAVE VERY LITTLE MATERIAL TO WORK WITH since the books are not done written yet. So my dislike stems from the very bad writing and character assassination and I have zero faith in that GoT will turn out good in the end. But I can only hope that's temporary. Because my dumb ass still love J0n$@ too much to let go.

So back to the point. Rape can be very loosely defined or widely interpreted based on the context but the words 'forced', 'coerced' and 'against one's will' should always be key in trying to put that R label on someone or something.

J0n's not a rapist *hurts my anti J0n ass to even type this sentence* when he laid it thick on D@ny in her cabin that night. He did what just any modern average fuckboy would do. He wanted something from D@ny and he got it because she gave it to him. Plain and simple. And tbh the juxtaposition of scenes showing his actual parents marrying and hearing what Dumb & Dumber, the actual actors themselves are saying about Jackassrys in the BTS commentary should give you a very clear idea where this ship is headed. Yep that's right, you idiots. Down to the depths of hell where it'll burn to ashes. True Targ style.

So stop the shitposting and hurting the tags. And keep your doomed dank ship far away from the J0n$@ tags. We don't need that stank shit up in here. Respect that name bitches.

[eisforeidolon]

There are plenty of TW positive blogs on Tumblr and I follow quite a few of them. TW positive posts often even get a couple hundred notes (more than the average hate posts bitching about some non-issue for the 500th time in any case). There are even people making fanart for the show already. I can recommed an account called thewinchestersupdates (or similar), which always posts news and updates without all the unnecessary hate and drama by obsessive Jared stans who've made hating a show that hasn't even aired yet their whole personality.

You'd have to go to "the other side" for all of that though or to people who don't really belong to any side. If you (general you) refuse to do that and prefer to stick in the bubble you're used to, then that's on you.

Personally, I don't get this at all though. I see people complaining about all the Jensen hate on their dash all the time or proclaiming there will be no Jensen hate on their blog, and then they turn around and act all buddy-buddy and best friends with the exact people who are spreading all the hate and who do nothing but whine about TW, Jensen, Danneel etc every single day. I find this pretty baffling and dumb tbh. Just because you've been mutuals on Tumblr or online "friends" with someone for a long time doesn't mean you can't unfollow them or block them if they turn into assholes or their blog content is bothering you. Because let's be real, 99% of online "friends" aren't real friends, they won't come help you if your house burned down or whatever. You are not obligated to remain "friends" or even mutuals with someone who's content bothers you just because you have "known" them for a long time or because you're part of the same bubble. Just unfollow, block and move on to other blogs. There are plenty of other fandom spaces out there both in and outside of Tumblr.

Well, good. I'm glad there are people excitedly posting about it and I hope you saying that content is out there encourages anyone who wants it to go out and find it! Personally, I'd be happiest to not hear anything more about it in either direction because I was not impressed with the trailer and unless the pilot convinces me otherwise, TW is very much Not For Me. Rewatching the trailer recently to see if the Cas shot really was the only OG one really really reinforced that impression.

As to the rest, to some extent you do have a point - it is on people to curate their own experiences. Either block users, block tags, or reconcile yourself to seeing content you don't agree with on the regular. However, I do think you're being a bit overly dismissive of how individual people approach fandom differently. For some it actually is very important to feel like they're part of a group, and finding somewhere to belong can seem sufficiently daunting to add a lot of inertia to sticking with fandom connections long past when they're positive ones. Also, frankly, even IRL there's such an absurdly wide range of friendship between "easily dismissible casual acquaintance you call friend out of politeness" and "would show up if your house burned down" that you've already kind of undermined your own point with that level of exaggeratedly devaluing anything that isn't the latter.

how to support your favourite creators on tumblr dot com

hello friends and welcome to unsolicited advice from karajaynetoday

here are 5 simple ways you can support your favourite creators on tumblr/the internet in general, whether they be writers, artists, incredible GIF makers and edit-creators, and everything else in between. I get so much joy out of tumblr content, so I’d thought I’d share some tips that I’ve gathered throughout ten years on this hellsite/safe haven lol

1. REBLOG THEIR CONTENT

go on, tell us how you really feel in the tags. no really, by sharing their original content (always reblog rather than re-post. NEVER re-post without permission or credit - you’ll see on the GIF I’ve used above Tumblr has added the credit to @ghostofmashton as the OG creator), you’re helping give their work more exposure, feedback and love, which is a lovely thing to do.

2. INTERACT AND GIVE FEEDBACK 

Did you lose your mind over that blurb? have a meltdown (in a good way) over that GIFset?? Head on over to their ask box or the replies and let them know!! Giving feedback helps your fave creators figure out what kinds of things you like to read or see on their blog, so they can plan future content! With writing feedback in particular, I like to be specific - if there was a particular phrase or section that made me feel an emotion, I mention it; if there was a particular writing element that struck me (the character dynamics, the scene descriptions, the narrative structure, the fictional universe etc etc) I call that out. A lot of people have an anon option on their ask box if you feel more comfortable giving feedback that way! If creators post things and all it gets is likes but no feedback, it can feel a little bit like you’re screaming into the void! 

3. RECOMMENDATIONS/REQUESTS/FINDING LOST CONTENT

Most creators will say in their bios or on their ask page if requests are open or closed - be sure to be respectful of this! But, did you read a fic or see an edit a while ago that you can’t remember the name or creator of? ASK SOMEONE! Are you in the mood to read a particular kind of vibe? ASK SOMEONE! The 5SOS community on tumblr is incredibly supportive and helpful when it comes to sharing recommendations, whether it’s through having a recommendations sideblog or fic recs tag (for example, I regularly check Lau @sexgodashton‘s rec tag for new pieces to read), responding to specific ask messages that request recommendations, or helping people find things they’re looking for (check out Crystal @kindahoping4forever​ for all your 5sos historian needs) so don’t be afraid to ask.

4. BE RESPECTFUL

yeah look this one is just a good general rule for life and everywhere you are on the internet but basically remember that there is a human on the other side of the screen. this is a safe space, and we can all engage in discourse and headcanons and whatnot, but don’t be a c*nt about it. if you don’t want to see a particular type of content, you can block tags. at the end of the day, the creator of the blog is in control of their own content, and if you don’t like it, unfollow them. if you think their content puts someone in danger or violates the tumblr community guidelines, you can report it. Jex @sadistmichael​ has some of the best NSFW writing on this site, and also some of the most reasonable opinions and responses to divisive discourse and I think this post of theirs sums it up:

a reminder that it’s okay to exist in the same fandom as someone that doesn’t have the same preferences or opinions that you do when it comes to a celebrity you don’t know <3 everyone does not have to think like you to be valid <3 as long as they are not encroaching on someone’s human rights and are in their lane you can unfollow them <3 having different opinions on things is a central part of being an adult in the real world <3 

5. GIVE WHERE YOU CAN 

okay now this is potentially the most controversial one?? maybe?? Idk, that’s why it’s last. obviously right now the world is on FIRE and a lot of people are struggling, so don’t feel pressure at all to do this if you can’t. it’s important to look after yourself first, especially during crazy times like 2020. however, personally I’ve been in a position recently where I’ve had a little spare money (that I would usually spend on my morning coffee in the office, or whatever, that I’m now not spending thanks to rona) and I’ve chosen to support a few of my favourite creators that have ko-fi pages with a small donation as a thank you for their work (@ everyone I follow who doesn’t have a ko-fi page pls make one so I can keep doing this!!! lol). The way I see it, I’d usually buy a book to read, pay for a netflix subscription to watch content, or things like that - so this is my way of repaying creators for delivering excellent content essentially for free in terms of $$$, but not really free if you think about the time and effort that they put into their creations. I know a lot of people pursue creative work for the love and passion they have for it, but everyone also has bills to pay - just because it’s fandom-based work, doesn’t mean it’s any less valuable than mainstream creative work you engage with. If the creators you want to support don’t have a ko-fi or similar, maybe see if you could commission them to do some work for an upcoming birthday or something like that! that being said, donating to support their work doesn't give you ownership or rights - just like buying a 5sos album doesn't. They're not at your beck and call to create and engage 24/7 - see point 4 about BEING RESPECTFUL 🙃🙃🙃

tl:dr: reblog, interact & give feedback, ask for recommendations and make requests, BE RESPECTFUL, give where you can.

thank you for coming to my TED talk <3 

[canonicallyanxious]

Weird ask. But. How do you stop yourself from getting super invested in fandoms? (for example: druck is living rent-free in my mind. It takes up like 70 percent of the space in my head/thoughts, I am sure of it)

considering i am notorious for spiraling intensely over fandoms i am maybe the wrong person to ask this question sdkfnskdjnfsk but i am going to try my best to be helpful anyway bc i do think this is a really good question everyone in fandom should probably consider at one point or another!

so right out the gate i want to say that i don’t think there’s anything wrong with being really invested in fandoms if they’re a source of comfort and joy for you! like i feel like there’s a certain stigma that comes with being a Fan but i firmly believe there is nothing to be ashamed of in what you find yourself most passionate about.

having said that i do think it’s incredibly important to establish healthy boundaries when it comes to engaging with fandom. Bc imo fandom should primarily be about having fun and enjoying the things you like, and if it gets to the point where your fandoms start giving you a lot of overly negative feelings compared to positive feelings [e.g scrolling through the tag starts causing you a lot of anxiety] or it starts to seriously impede other areas of your life [e.g ability to focus on school/work] that’s probably a good sign that you need to take a step back [in my personal experience, ofc; ymmv depending on your own experiences and such!].

So here are some things i do to help establish healthy boundaries with fandom, and again ymmv because different things work for different people but just to give an idea of some of the things i try to do to keep my relationship with fandom healthy:

[cut bc i can never not answer asks with a whole ass essay apparently]

Making sure i have other things to turn to in my free time rather than just fandom stuff. For me right now that includes cooking and playing video games, things I’m not as emotionally invested in but that lets me take a break from scrolling through tumblr or whatever when i need it. like as invested as i am in my fandom interests i am not just my fandoms, who i am as a person is not defined solely as being a Fan of things, and i find it kind of important for me to remember that.

Making friends with people who have diverse interests. I met a lot of my current internet friends through OG Skam fandom and now almost none of us are in all the same fandoms but we’re still very good friends bc we’re able to talk to each other about things not related to fandom, plus since we all engage with fandom in similar ways we can still relate to each other and have similar perspectives on things and such. i have to tell you there’s very little i find more fun than going completely unhinged in the messages of someone who has no fucking clue what i’m talking about to be answered with their unhinged rambles about something i know absolutely nothing about lol mutually supporting each other’s trashpiles is an A+++ activity

Curating my social media spaces to make sure i avoid spaces i know will probably cause me negative feelings. there’s no shame in following/unfollowing/blocking as you need to imo, like it’s good to be exposed to diverse perspectives and opinions but i think it’s also good to know your boundaries and not actively seek out stuff you know is going to piss you off or upset you. as i said i think fandom should primarily be about enjoying yourself, you know? And i’m not going to enjoy myself if i’m constantly reading things that upset me. so i’d rather keep my distance and do my best to do my own thing! for me that’s one thing i really try to get from my relationship with fandom - at the end of the day it should be something i do for me and for my own enjoyment, you know?

like really at the end of the day i just want fandom to be an enjoyable thing for me so i really try to make an effort to engage with fandom in the way that i want and not how i feel like other people would want me to engage w/ fandom. because ultimately i think no matter how you engage with fandom or how invested you are what matters the most is that you feel in control of your own experience and you have the agency/freedom to set your own boundaries that work for you!

Not... sure if any of that is actually helpful or if i’m just talking out of my ass akdfnskdjnfs but let it be known that i tried. if any of my followers have any other thoughts feel free to comment, i’d love to know what people think of this topic!

[sanguisfulgur]

What was your first impression of the roleplay community on Tumblr? And what’s your impression of it now?

Mun’s Asks: RP Edition

I have been on this site a long-ass time. I migrated here from Bebo before that website died for good at the behest of my good friend, Sage. I had barely used Tumblr before then and it was… a lot. Learning how things worked here (Sage is a saint for teaching me the ropes), trying to build up a following and just engaging with people in general was hard at first. But lmao it was a simpler time. No formatting for the most part, full-sized gifs, way more basic themes and being selective was a rarity. I don’t miss a lot of that since I like to have my blog looking nice. There was also little in the way of help, rp helpers were a rarity, guides in general were too, resources were a pain in the ass to find and make. Also remember not even having the OG X-Kit? Yikes. 

I think the community is great but it has its problems. There are problems with elitism (for the record, I’m not talking about being selective, I am too, I mean the snootiness some people can have about it and people’s portrayals ect) and I think it’s much harder to break into the community now if you’re new to it than it was years ago because most people have been established a long time, a lot of us are much older and there are cliques or just general groups people like to rp with. It can be intimidating. 

Then there’s the callout culture which okay, sometimes it is justified. If a person is a predator or abusive, that shit SHOULD be called out. Someone actively harmful to the community SHOULD be called out. But people writing things you don’t like? Personal drama? Someone unintentionally being offensive? No. Deal with that privately. Correct them, educate them or unfollow, block and move on. It becomes a game of ‘he said she said’ because way too many callouts don’t have evidence or have flimsy evidence at best and it makes legitimate callouts for actual harmful behaviour go unnoticed/ignored because people don’t want to get involved in what is potentially just bullshit. 

Also lmao, we gotta stop telling people what they can and can’t write. If someone romanticising subjects like rape, I get it. That’s gross. But you can’t tell people they can’t write it in general. I’m not here for censoring writers in any medium and hey y’all, you don’t know what people have been through and surprise, surprise: cope writing is a 100% valid method of dealing with trauma that psychologists encourage. So miss me with that nonsense. Blacklist, unfollow, block -  if the content bothers, upsets or triggers you, do what you have to to protect yourself. But no one has to cater to YOU and I think that’s something the community needs to remember. 

ALSO ALSO. I’m not here for the underlying misogyny in the community. Which is hilarious given the majority of us here are women, we still treat female characters like shit. I’m tired of it. Exhausted. It’s why I’ll no longer deal with that nonsense. 

That said, I do like that community has expanded so much. If you need something or just need some support there’s someone to help or lend a shoulder to cry on and I’m fortunate to rp with incredibly wonderful people, to have made great friends as well as having found my amazing fiancee through Tumblr rp. So I’ll always be grateful for the connections this website and community can bring about.  

The community also now has a ton of resources and people willing to create for others and honestly? That’s wonderful. Guides, themes, icons, gifs, promos. People here are so willing to use their time for others and if that doesn’t give me a little faith in humanity, nothing will. 

And my god, shit is so much easier now with the amazing people who make New X-Kit and Stylus and Tampermonkey scripts. They make this website a so much more user-friendly, accessible space for whatever people might need. Didn’t have that in ye olde days beyond missing e. Y’all remember that hot mess? Dark times. 

So yeah my opinion has matured as I have. I see good and bad sides to it, as there is in any social space.
