#im not going to infight with any of yall

[spaciebabie]

people getting mad at this post have missed the point entirely. believe it or not, not every poc is queer!! and whether you guys have intended to or not, poc are frequently excluded from conversations just like this!! and this post proves it b/c as soon as i mentioned poc people got all up in arms!! the point of this post was to point that out!! my god!! poc are going to be affected the worst!! you need to especially keep them in your thoughts regardless of if they're queer or not!!!

im seeing a lot of "queer people dont kill yourselves" posts and yes, i agree but also poc folks dont kill yourselves. you're needed in this space just as much as the white folks are. we will get through this hand in hand together

We're politics posting again lads

By that I mean I almost went completely right-wing in, like, ninth grade. I can't find that "escaped from the right wing failpost" right now but I saw like 4/5s of the tags on a post about it were along the lines of "I want to kill OP" and. man. that sounds exactly what radicalized me. I don't know what to make of that.

I don't really know where to go from there. I got nothing, I just remembered reading the snippet everyone was looking at, and just going, "Huh, that sounds exactly like what happened to me." Still happens sometimes! and then I see the tags on everyone else's posts and it's like yeah no wonder I fucking hated you back then, you keep telling me you want me dead. My base instinct is to hit all aggressive comments with the "right back atcha' pal" which isn't a great tool, but I felt it rear up again when I was reading and it was just aaaaugh you guyyys I don't want harm on you but my goodness everybody here is the worst.

(yes including OP. Fuckin hell that was a rough take once I saw it in full. But still, seeing the fallout is just reminding me how I got radicalized and it's really sad.)

11, 19, 23, 39 !! sending u kisses back MWAH !!!

from these writing asks

11. Three tropes that are fine but overrated.

e,, ene,,, enemies-to-lovers (audience gasps) YES i know i cannot believe I'm saying this as one of the most ardent lovers of etl. but likeee i don't think it suits some ships at all (and kinda kills what i love about said ships) AND I've been feeling super let down by recent portrayals of it that has actually just been straight ass

other than that, i guess fake dating and arranged marriage 😭 i do still enjoy those tropes done well! but lately I've been wanting more canon-based fics & quieter tension but tension all the same. like yes give me 20k of them running this country together, i don't even want a confession at the end or any sort of kiss, just show me their chemistry and their deep trust!!!!

19. Share a snippet from a wip without giving any context for it.

I LOVE U FOR THIS

When she woke, her head was clearer, the haze of drink all but burned through. It was not yet light. Yukong turned, and in the darkness Caiyi’s eyes were like that of a cat’s, fixed pinpricks of direct brightness.

No. Not Caiyi.

Ruan Mei blinked back at her, still watching. The memory of everything that had transpired, the touching, the kissing—

Yukong uttered a low, fierce curse.

23. Dialogue or description? Why is the other one so hard?

it depends, but usually its dialogue :( i am really bad at writing very very colloquial characters and when it's for more formal (?) characters its slightly easier if only bc i know the rules better? but its still hard, like... like this for example, I'm still unsure how to rephrase this 😭:

The Seer Strategist had on a look of such put-on innocence that it only missed an affronted hand to the chest. “Why, Diviner Fu, I’d never. ☰ ☲ Besides, it’s not good for us to have infighting among ourselves rephrase.”

yeah, that rephrase is my note to self 😭 it's why writing stuff like jingfu takes doubly long.

description can also be hard for me bc i forget that people need them haha. like i just want to skip ahead and go to the good stuff (interaction! talking!) but then im like. shit. the readers don't even know where they are rn 😭 it's a little tiring to describe too, like idk how yall are writing multiple paragraphs when one alone is a struggle for me

39. Wildest AU scenario you have written?

it's STILL jingfu propaganda movement au where i made jing yuan a chinese mestizo and fu xuan a newly arrived chinese immigrant who lived in binondo during the philippine propaganda movement and the ensuing revolution 🥰

--------------------------------------

The Tmf-Confessions blog is one of the more iconic blogs on Freakblr. It has been used by almost everyone at least once and has remained very neutral in any instances of infighting on Freakblr.

It is, after all, a convenient way to politely air grievances and spread opinions. It is the first place many people in this fandom think to go to with their hot, cold, and luke-warm takes.

Over it's lengthy existence, people submitting confessions have sparked many inter-fandom controversies. Nothing so severe though, that it is worth making note. Most fighting was shut down through calm conversation and back-and-forth's on the confessions blog.

When asked about enemies, the confession blog simply responded, "i don't think this blog has any enemies cause it's a welcoming space for everyone frl."

A huge running joke of the confession blog is the idea of, "Rat's Laying Eggs." This begun when the Confession blog came back from a semi-long hiatus. They posted the following: "yall i died my bad. sorry guys my rat gave birth and laid two or three eggs."

This post sparked outrage amongst many of the confession blog followers. Freakblr Original user @creelby reblogged saying, "IM???????" Another Freakblr Original user, @cringelordofchaos similarly stated, "YOU'RE???????" Finally, Freakblr Original user @rextile sums up everyone's thoughts on the situation. Asking the important question of, "rats lay eggs????"

This one post led to several asks wondering about the state of the confession blog's rats. Led to multiple google searches about whether or not rat's can actually lay eggs. In the end it was determined that no. No they cannot. And the confession blog had been eating eggs from what they thought was a rat for months.

Eventually Freakblr Original user @sobeksewerrat posted this on their other alternate account, @andrew-the-drew-defender: "rat eggs should become a new inside joke on freakblr. We should make it a password or a secret code of sorts so we know who to gatekeep"

While many agreed and liked this idea, it never actually became a secret code. It did however remain an inside joke and led to the creation of the Freakblr discord server.

The confession blog's main account is @strawberry-pretzels. A Freakblr Original user. They post a wide variety of content there, including Music Freaks content.

When asked about blogs of note, they mentioned The Original Freakblr Seven, as well as any other blogs who'd submitted asks. Continuing their pattern of being a safe space for all on Freakblr.

The Tmf Confessions blog continues to post and be active, a bright spot in the lives of many Freakblr users. It inspires discourse and thoughtful discussion of the show. It keeps us entertained in the wait for new content. A pioneer of Freakblr, in my opinion.

And, when asked to sum up their time on Freakblr, this is what they had to say:

"Freakblr is many things. It's a group of 20 people joking around and telling stories. It's a space for so much interesting lore and fandom icebergs. It's a place where creativity and roleplay runs rampant. But above all, it is an amazing home with many memories, that I hope will be remembered even years later."

Taking a Hiatus

so i’ve been debating doing this for a while. like three months actually.

i’ve been active on radblr since early 2019 and never taken a break for longer than about 5 days.

I’m exhausted.

I’m sick of the doom and gloom, and I’m sick of the infighting. I’m sick of being harassed instead of engaged, sick of having my opinions and debates misconstrued. Sick of people on here not even reading my argument before responding, often attacking me, as a person, instead of critiquing my opinions.

I’m sick of the shitty debate skills, the narcissism, the selfishness. I’m sick of it all.

I’m sick of the gaslighting, saying that being a radfem isnt about ideological purity but the moment one woman has an opinion that is different from the groupthink, even if its minor, then y’all have zero issue dogpiling on her.

I’m sick of feeling the pressure to label and define myself before im even an adult, and sick of it being used against me.

Sick of the double standard, that its ok to ackowledge there isnt a permanent state of self and that people and opinions change, that its ok to not know yourself until youre a mature adult, only for that all to be thrown away.

I am just fed up and sick and tired of it. The worst part? I thought, all this time, we were a generally good community. I thought we were for the most part amicable acquaintances. I thought that many were friends. But no. Radblr says the catty woman myth is fake, but goes on to prove it at any given chance.

Radblr is almost just as cultish as the trans and queer movement.

It’s worse because most of radblr is adults.

And it sucks. It sucks that the feminist movement has devolved into mainstream woke mens-rights bullshit with a minority that claims to believe in actual feminism, but doesnt practice it.

Radblr is more concerned with harassing women who dont ascribe to their extremist ideological purity than with actually making a difference.

I don’t know if or when i will be back. I still hold radfem beliefs, sure. But i cannot sit here and keep taking harassment and cruelty and mockery in stride while juggling a horse, college apps, and school. I cannot sit here and be the more mature person than grown ass adult women. I cannot sit here silently while all of you enable this, brush it aside, claim its a minority.

because guess what? its not a minority. the majority of radblr is narcissistic assholes with a victim complex.

I am sick and fucking tired of seeing the best in yall when you cant even treat me and each other with basic fucking respect.

I am sick and tired of seeing vulnerable young girls peak and make their way into radical feminism only to be silenced and harassed and shunned away. I am sick of seeing this excused and erased and swept under the rug.

Most of all, i am sick of being harassed for calling it out.

Until you all get your priorities in order and your ethics in check, you have no right to be calling yourselves feminists.

The only difference with me vs other teens bullied off radblr is that i’m not going silently. I’m not deactivating in the middle of the night and disappearing without a trace.

I am telling all of you straight up what the hell is wrong with this community. I am calling you out because i know you can be better.

But i will not be a part of this.

Get your own goddamn movement in order.

goodbye letter

damn this nigga actually out after 5 years loved yall, but tumblr sucks and im not sticking around to deal with more of tumblr’s incompetence details and rant underneath B3

just wanted to say yall have been a blast. obvs any request for kyman kingdom wont be answered so another person will have to step up and uphold the ancient scroll

this was sort of a long time coming, since this also represents me officially leaving the SP fandom. ill still finish running the kyman secret santa this year though. 

speaking of the south park fandom, i joined bright eyed and hopeful. i genuinely loved the show, i loved everything about it. but over the years watching you brilliant children go back and forth about dumbass ships, seeing people send death threats and just being absolutely awful just ruined a lot of the love i had for the show. 

sure, im not blameless! ive had fun, but ive never just been so zealously hateful that so many of you were. and then, predictably, you all dropped like flies and i had to see a new group of people argue over fictional characters. so much dumb shit that ive seen... so much

just why. why couldnt we have been adults? (notice i said “we”) and even now there is legitimate infighting because some of you dont like certain people (who i don’t like, but its for very very very legitimate reasons and not just “i dont like their opinions >:/”) and funny not-meant-to-be-taken-seriously-discourse just always turns into drama because i guess so. not to mention the people that have just outright blocked me even though i havent said a word to any of them. do you think i bite or something? do you think im an awful person with awful opinions and no, i cannot ever relate to this person ever or see eye-to-eye with her? because what i say to that, if that was your line of thinking, then yes. we cant ever get along and coexist. 

a lot of this community’s problems (as well as tumblr’s problems) stem from othering. im not some other, im a person. one regret i have is that i wished i appeared more friendly and not some boogieman out to harass any random passerby. im not like that at all, and i wish some of you saw that. (and the worst part was is that sometimes people i was close to assumed that too. which. damn)

in other words, i just got too old for this community. i still love shipping but damn yall

still, i have friends from this site + fandom that im planning to meet up with next year, im on that level of trust and love. its never been easy with them, but loving people is never easy. and i feel that way towards all of you. though a lot of my love has been replaced with cold hard cynicism, i still love all of you and all of the memories youve given me. its the end of an era for me and while yall get to deal with tumblr’s sad sad shenanigans, i get to escape to the greener pastures of newgrounds and twitter. (i have a pillowfort.io but its only a precautionary measure, its probably gonna be another writscrib LOL) whenever the NSFW comes back or tumblr gets better management (when pigs fly), my return is close to follow. this blog and all other sideblogs stay up as an archive for my use

with “haha yall are stuck here and will suffer my same fate” -kofu

ps. i hope yall realize this isnt me just being cranky because theres no porn. theres other sites for that B3

[swampdrive]

@eagles-fr @bonepriests sorry if im bothering yall, but you could both try out subeta or furvilla maybe? (Im on mobile rn so sorry if this is messy)

On subeta:

You have a higher (but still limited amount )of pet characters you can have, im currently at 13/15? Im not sure what the max cap is atm, they increase it every now and then, i want to say its 30+ now? You gain more slots by either purchasing it from the premium currency shop, using special tokens you obtain with every year you're active or through events. (I think there are a few slots you can purchase with the regular currency) i rejoined the community about 5 years ago and have since not noticed any major decline in the economy necessitating premium currency/real money purchases. There are even ways for you to gain the premium currency for free (from one of the dailies on the site, it drops the premium currency a few days in) and lots of users sell/trade their premium currency for the exact nonpremium currency they're worth, there is very little markup.

In general, the community is nice and there isnt a lot of infighting. Most users are older? Everyone is roughly 20+ so there isn't as much drama and people police themselves better than kids on other sites do/there arent like, overbearing word/content filters like there are on neopets.

You can't dress up the pets themselves but you do have a human avatar (thats gaia esque) you can dress up and edit however you want. Many people dress up their HA to look like one of their pets and then add the picture to the pets profile. (There are also individual galleries/profile spaces for each of your lets btw) You can also get a custom overlay for one of your pet characters and commission an artist (or draw it yourself) to make them how you want them.

The subeta team releases new items for the human avatars pretty regularly, and like with the custom pet overlays you can actuly create your own items for the human avatar. (same method as creating fr skins).

There is established basic world lore (like on neopets) and every major conventional holiday (Easter, Valentine's day, halloween etc.) Has an event associated with it where you can get holiday themed apparel, pet potions (basically neopet paintbrushes), minions (think petpets) and other items. There are also several other events themed around fictional holidays on the site (there is an annual steampunk/cyberpunk masquerade event every year) as well as other lore based events.

The site is really good with lgbtq+ representation amongst npcs and the overall npc cast is reeally diverse in theme and type. (There are human, anthro and animal npcs so its really an open sandbox for you to create whatever kinds of characters you want).

Non holiday and lore heavy events are kinda few and far between but the last big one was a sort of? Expedition/site wide race event where you had to pick from one of two teams (gold and steele) and whichever you picked effected the loot you got, the npc you interacted with and you had to work with other users in timed challenges to get ahead. It was really fun and the user response was positive so theyre probably going to do another similar event. They dont often release new lore but when they do its genuinely interesting and fun to take part in.

There is also a battle system like neopets (its a long term investment tho)

Furvilla might also be something you both want to consider, you pick your animal themed villagers and can slowly increase your capped amount. You can do custom overlays but there are also themed ones you can get from events/the site stores etc. Its more of a gathering/crafting game with minor text events and choices. I tried it for a solid few months but it just wasnt for me- it became quickly unmanagable for me to use it and became more of a hassle than an enjoyable experience. Y'all might like it though? It seemed pretty well made and is good if you have a lot/long periods of free time as you get more turns to do things hourly.

i like neo bc it forces me to have a limited number of characters i need to focus on and really develop. but it sux as far as accessibility w apparel items go.

i like flight rising because fashion is pretty easy to get into for every user and u can have a shitton of dragons (godspeed to people who have bottomed out that number holy shit) and theyre easy to get rid of. but i can fucking barely focus on and develop a character beyond a bio containing core personality traits and what they do with their life.
