I just realized i spamliked your whole double trouble au- i am genuinely So sorry if that is something you don't approve of--

Related to the au though, if it's alright for me to ask, you said that when Macaque fled to ffm that the chains lbd had on him were still attached (the spiritual ones) and that that's important. If you still have thoughts about that, why was it so important? I know in the show they served as a reminder so i assume he could feel them (and personal hc, tighten and cause him pain the longer he stalls delivering mk to her) but could lbd maybe use them against him while he's hiding? Or was Rumble (i believe?) able to see or feel the chains too?

Sorry again for the spamliking and the long ask- i genuinely really enjoy this au and head went empty hdhd

ah i dont mind spam liking/reblogging at all, i have quite a few aus and semi regularly i see someone go through all of one of my tags, i never mind, im super glad ppl can enjoy them :D

as for why the chains were still there, mostly for trauma lmao. rumble felt like her powers wernt as good as her sisters, and not being able to break the chains on macaque was a huge part of why she felt inadequate. when lbd managed to break through the wards on ffm to try to drag maq back to her it was pretty awful for both of them. this was one of the only times maq actaully yelled properly at either of them

she had a nice little resolution at the end of this au's s3 where the kids stowed away so that rumble could save swk from lbds possession

Intro to my account!

Hi I'm Conan i often go by the nickname Cade <- also the name of my main oc Ik I’m so creative :b

So time for the introduction

⬇️

I'm a transgender boy i use the term demi-boy more as a side label/umbrella term since I also identify with xenogenders and am also questioning being boyflux but mostly I’m just a boy so refer to me as such.

i use he/him pronouns along with any and all neos (besides like offensive ones like slurs and stuff those are icky) but I much prefer he/him I still use neos but would prefer to be referred to as he/him majority of the time and I use masc terms

If you didn’t know me and have referred to me as something else that’s totally fine just please try and use the correct pronouns and terms from now on!!! ^^

i use a lot of labels for my sexuality since it’s really complicated but basically I'm aroace oriented and omniromantic + i use biromantic as a umbrella term. I'm ambiamorous which means I'm open to polyamory and monoamory relationships.

!Important! Even though I've put my sexualities and wanting a QPR I'm not open to online dating and never will be

i use a lot of labels so if you wanna see them all check out my pronouns page I'll link it at the end

[**Explaining how one can be aroace and biromantic to those who r confused: aroace is a spectrum aroace is a wide umbrella term you could have absolutely no romantic and sexual attraction or you could have them for ppl you have a emotional bond with already it’s a wide range of identities and the official definition is “little to no sexual and romantic attraction” I personally have a very hard time with experiencing romantic attraction (I’m not to be going into my personal sexual attraction I’m a minor) but I do have other forms of attraction like aesthetic attraction and physical/sensual attraction. Aroace oriented is a specific label for aroace ppl that identify as both aroace and other label for their sexuality. Sorry if this is confusing or phased wrong I tried to explain it to the best of my knowledge and ability in a somewhat short paragraph**]

I use tone tags sometimes especially with ppl idk just because I like controlling how ppl take what I say but i don’t need you to use them some ppl need others to use them due to not being able to pick up on social cues or other reasons that’s not the case I just use them to clarify what I’m saying if you want me to use them with you regularly because you need them to understand me better lmk Im happy to use them more with you specifically I just need to be told ^^

I'll talk about my mental health since I do occasionally post things about my mental health- so basically i have depression and unspecified anxiety disorder professionally diagnosed though my therapist has suggested that the unspecified anxiety disorder is probably both general and social anxiety but I don’t have those officially w. also professionally diagnosed OCD (<- most recent diagnosis lolz) I also have dyslexia and Dysgraphia so if theres any spelling or grammar mistakes in this please be patient.

Don’t call me autistic. I’m not. I love my autistic ppl but we don’t have the same disability. I know a lot of autistic ppl and yes we do have some similar traits but OCD and Autism are NOT the same please stop assuming I’m autistic just because “everyone with neurodivergence is the same” shut up please.

i listen to a lot of different music genres my favorites rn are scene, glitchcore, hyperpop, nightcore, pov: Indie, scenemo, alternative, and emo. I'm alternative kinda scene but I have a really strict uniform at my new school so I can’t really wear regularly scene clothing anymore :c I’m still involved with the community, music, and just the entire subculture in general.

I'm a huge anime/manga fan i love things like ouran host club, banna fish, SK8 the infinity, Bungo stray dogs, ohshi no ko, the stranger by the shore, toilet bound hanako kun, demon slayer, yuri on ice, sasaki to Miyano and a lot more. i read manga when i can find it online for free cuz I'm broke asf -.-

I'm a minor so any donation requests will be ignored as i cannot donate and i also don't want to repost something if i don't know if it's legit so i apologize but i will just delete those dms and comments i do hope if your in actual need of help you can raise the money but at this moment i am not able to help and am not able to confirm your legitimacy

I see people putting a dni list so I'll make one too ig? If your Racist, homophobic, transphobic, ablist, proshipper, anti-furry, anti-therian, anti-neos, anti-xeno, any other unreasonable anti, xenophobic, fatphobic, trump supporter, extremely judgemental, really anything toxic in General your a dni.

Yeah i think thats it I'll put the links to some of my other platforms I'll update this whenever things change

Also here’s my other account and the YouTube channel connected to it

[pinkpastels113]

filing my divorce papers ;p

to the anons bc i do feel like things got out of hand w me and andy’s friendship and we need to address this before other people think it’s okay to just. engage and pile on with the confusion and teasing haha:

me and andy are just friends. we’re not dating, we’re not together, we’re not married. we’re just friends. we literally met through this fandom like two months ago and hit it off really fast and well and intensely. the whole “marry me” thing was a joke bc of an ask i sent andy asking if she would be mean to me in person bc she’s usually teasing me online haha and she said “i would marry you in person.” it got out of hand really quick really fast and im sorry for all the confusion and chaos that ensued

as someone has said and i realized can happen and totally fair to assume: anything btw friends and what you tell anons publicly i feel like is fair game to engage. which is why ima say this:

my inbox, at least for me, is for engagement. it’s for people who don’t want to disclose themselves to message me and for my friends/followers to send ask memes or nice things or to get to know me and things they want me to share with my followers and to point out something funny in the tags somewhere (since those are already public haha and i feel like is okay to point out directly) and obv for anything relating to fandom. i treat my mutuals’ ask box in the same way. i understand how it can be treated as something differently and like. i dunno. a way to ask provocative questions or send passive aggressive comments or something like that anonymously but when i see them, and i respond. i respond as if im speaking directly to you. esp to my anons. unless i specify otherwise. i don’t expect other people to engage in it and i don’t want to police myself so other people can engage in it since its “fair game;” nobody is perfect and everybody has moments where they say something weird or problematic or whatever. i try not to and try to catch myself before it happens but i feel like yall can make up your own minds ab the things that i say and if you don’t like something or agree, just move on? or unfollow me if it’s really bad? or dm me privately if it’s something that i need to honestly rethink? i don’t claim to know everything and i have my insecurities and flaws lmao pls don’t take all my words and interactions as like a word from god or anything. i’m just a 22 year old girl using tumblr as a way to engage in fandom and making friends and being online as an outlet from everything else going on in my life. i’m not perfect and honestly i don’t want to be and i don’t want or expect yall for me to be. pls think on your own about the stuff that i say publicly and reblog lmfao i don’t want to police it fr. (also i get anxious ab the anons sometimes too so when i do respond when i probably shouldn’t bc it’s provocative know that it’s prob bc my anxiety is acting up and i don’t want people to hate me for not answering adfgsj. im trying to be better on that and setting my boundaries.)

and ab yesterday. come on guys i don’t know what prompted the whole fight thing but you and i and everyone else knows that andy can def beat me to a pulp bc i have no arm muscles (to use for violence) fr but you don’t have to be mean ab it hhhh i don’t scratch or bite anyone even regularly and esp not in a fight omg what 😭😭

as for the marriage thing. i think we’re “divorcing” haha bc it got a bit much. for the both of us and for everyone else. so we’re not married anymore!! we’re just plain old pals now :))

NEW INTRO TIME

i am actually floory’s number 1 fan real and true

my main blog is @emmkittycat so likes and follows will come from that account i think idk i still dunno how tumblr works💔

i cant believe i have to put this but i do. anyways impersonation is a HUGE boundary for me so please dont pretend to be me / claim to be me wtf. idc if you kin / pretend to be my fictional characters but i am a real person hi hello you arent me thanks.

hi. im ememmemt or baxter

he/they/she/xe, 20, INTP

i am autism 🔥 i use tone tags on occassion but u dont need to use them all tbe time when interacting with me ,unless tone could be easily misinterpreted

i love floory, mephone4 and dr fizz! ANDoetrope. AND ZOETROPE. they are my favs ever!

my designs for characters are all FREE TO USE!!! also i normally hc sexualities and genders for the characters i design but these are just MY headcanons. so like if u wanna draw like, for example, my bot design as gay or like my floor design as agender or whatever thats perfectly fine HDHDH.

i dont mind if u get inspired by my art!! i allow reposting my art for non commerical use as long as proper credit is given (a link back to this tumblr account)

dni:

-general dni, homophobes, racists, pedos, zoos, that shebang

-pro ship. pro ship does not = ship you dont like. pro ship means pedophilia, incest, etc. otherwise illegal stuff that is being glorified or romanticized. (i kno sometimes people write that stuff to educate or as a coping mechanism; thats fine, i usually dont consider that proship. romanticizing or making these pairings seem OKAY is BAD and i dont want to interact with people who write this stuff for their own personal enjoyment, thats sick. (not the cool sick.))

-object show enjoyers 😡 /JOKE

i dont block often and i only usually block for one of two reasons:

A. you have done something absolutely heinous and i never want to run the risk of ever having to interact with you. (or youre in my dni. which is mostly heinous things.)

or

B. i just saw a lot of irrelevant posts from you in one of the like 4 tags i regularly browse and i just got sick of it.

if youre not in my dni and i have you blocked its probably safe to assume its because of option b. either way i probabblyyy dont want any dms from anyone i have blocked, so pls dont block evade to ask ‚why did u block me??’ cause i really dont owe anyone an explanation. (i usuually dont block tjough. i literally have like 3 people total blocked lmao. so this hopefully wont be an issue. )

[illegallymale]

about me

24 y/o. bisexual nonbinary trans man on T and pre-op. hmu if you live near or travel to the north texas (southern usa) area

you can call me tex or cody

pronouns (in order of pref): he, it, xe.

everything here is consensual risk-aware sex/kink, roleplay, and/or fantasy. i also love academically dissecting kink and sexuality. don’t follow if either of those bother you lol

👇🏻more detailed about below👇🏻

other accounts: main- @dunmertitty, horny sideblog- @illegallymale, mantits sideblog- @nonbinarybara, my nudes- @hehimh0le

im 24 and i go by tex or cody. only use he/him/his, it/its/itself, or xe/xem/xeyr for me. i’m a masc nonbinary transsexual man; you may interpret that however you wish in regards to interacting. i’m on T and pre-op.

my first priority is always fellow transexies (t4t) but im cis inclusive. im bisexual aroaceflux and regularly use the following terms to describe my sexuality: transfag, transhet, bifag, bihet, nb fag, het nb. im not polyamorous or monogamous, but a secret third thing i just vibe with whatever my partner/s want. im single/unpartnered atm. i’m a switch verse but i prefer being a sub (both top & btm). i’m horny most of the time but how much i actually have sex fluctuates with my dysphoria.

i try not to engage with anyone who uses pro-ship/anti-ship language, i think you’re all childish and lack the ability to understand nuance. stop trying to understand the real world in fandom terms.

i’m exploring kink but below i’ll list some i’m interested in (✅), not interested in but generally will still partake in (⚠️), and limits/hard no’s (🛑). most kinks you can assume i’m into both sub (⬇️) & dom (⬆️) but i’ll mark if only one or the other

list is non-extensive and may frequently change

✅: breeding (no preg), petplay, s&m⬇️, bondage, impact play, hickeys/bruises/scratches/marks, cnc, cockwarming, piss/watersports, choking, hair pulling, service/houseboy/maid, praise, degradation, gender affirmation, bro sex/straight boy roleplay/forcemasc, certain fauxcest, edging, overstim, frotting/scissoring/tribbing, monsterfucking, tentacles, exhibitionism, masks/face coverings

⚠️: wax play, feet stuff

🛑*: misgendering/detrans/forcefem ⬇️, intense impact play⬆️, scat, vomit, actual pregnancy⬇️

*this is not a dni, just stuff i don’t like. idc what kinks you have, do whatever you want as long as you’re not tagging images of me with anything that misgenders me, i’m probably cool with your kinks as long as you use RACK or smthn

The Mapler

hiiiii i'm maple! i use he/she/they pronouns and my gender is

im a student at naranjauva academy in paldea, studying to become a professor focusing on the relationship and history between people and pokemon as well as how it has changed us and pokemon over time! or for short i just like studying people and pokemon!! on the side im super interested in art, cyclizar racing, and caring way too much about fictional characters on the internet

while im currently living in paldea, my home region is actually vulgrado (if youve never heard of its its cause its apparantly rare in the grand scheme of the universe. frowns) but im also alolan and japanese on my moms side.

here is my trainer card!!

bibi (short for bubblegum bitch cause they didnt let me name her that equally) tried to fight the camera man so she doesnt have a photo.

i have two other pokemon, a vulgradian absol named tami who is my service pokemon and my rotom named .zip who occasionally posts on the blog. they're both registered as support pokemon though, so they rarely battle and arent on my trainer card.

i am. mentally ill and both physically and mentally disabled for several reasons so pleassseee keep this in mind when talking to me! sometimes i react to things weirdly i do not mean to i merely cannot help it because my brain developed weirdly!! also i will occassionally drop lore about myself some people deem concerning. DO NOT WORRY ABOUT IT :D

Summary Of Blog

Maple is a student at NaraUva in Paldea, with a weird past and an even weirder present. A strange "Other Maple" occasionally makes posts Maple herself cannot see, she has a complicated relationship with an odd and concerning family, and she regularly gets into strange situations and bounces out basically unharmed. Something is deeply wrong with her.

All Mails (Pelipper, Musharna, etc) are off. Variants such as unmail are also off. Magic Anons are off No NSFW. Maple is a minor.

Redux is a closed universe occupied by only a few blogs. It is also, within it's lore, a very hard to reach universe, with only a few examples of things being able to get in or out. The group on Rotumblr are some of the very few within their universe with access to this multiversal version of the site. This is to prevent plot beats from conflicting with other canons and blogs, and to minimize events of people trying to insert theirselves into into our events. That being said, interacting purely online with arcs and events, trying to guide characters and give advice is completely allowed and encouraged! This story is interactive, as is the nature of rp, and certain events may be changed or improved upon by your participation

Any blog can interact in theory. I'm not necessarily against anything specific but there's no guarantee I reply to everything or want to interact with certain blogs specifically. Sometimes it comes down to vibes, or I just do not know how my characters would respond to your blog, or I just know they would not respond to it. It depends.

My characters WILL get into arguments about how their world works. Maple has a special interest in pokemon and their history with people so please assume that usually if she gives a fact about a pokemon or her world that its PROBABLY correct unless stated otherwise ooc or by another redux character!! If you come into an interaction genuinely intending to change her mind you simply will not because there's a good chance that in the interaction your character is just wrong about Maple's world.

Mun is an adult while muse is not.

CAUTION, TRIGGERS AHEAD, NOT ALL WILL BE TAGGED

honey will randomly blip out of existence with my motivation and energy levels! This does NOT mean that she wouldn't be communicating with your OCs during this time. I know it sucks to pilot an npc but please don't just assume honey is ignoring your oc, i seriously do not have the spoons to be as actively extroverted as her. i am an introvert.

theres going to be So much eyestrain on this blog, like to the point that almost every post would have an eyestrain tag, so please keep that in mind!

gifs are tagged "gif" queue tag is "supes cute" food stuff is "yummy stuff" nails are "perfectly painted" art tag is "artsy shit" selfie tag is "super cute selfie" makeup is "looks that kill" clothes are under "wardrobe"

my name is bunny, im 25+, i am not a social person and do not have the energy to talk to a lot of people at once, so either have patience or don't bother

i have several other blogs im not active on, but im most frequently on jujulebee

do not send me IMs in character, i will accept them as ooc if you don't have my discord, otherwise dont

do not leave Replies on my posts, i have stated this multiple times, i don't notice them in the deluge of activity notifications i receive, if you want to have a conversation on a post i have made reblog the post

youre free to ask for my discord but i dont guarantee that ill talk to you regularly, i am not a talkative person

im not Extremely picky with who i follow and will block freely and without hesitation. im here to curate my ideal experience, not save the feelings of a stranger. 

while i understand that ic=/=ooc if your character is transphobic or racist in any way please dont interact, actually

honey wouldn’t want to talk to you anyway

this page does not accept magic anons

please do not godmod to try and fix honeys issues, i dont want that, genuinely

honey b azrael was born august 6th, 1998

she’s bi-racial korean, born in texas

she is 4'8" (her boots typically put her at 5’), approx 240 lbs

honey was embraced on january 23rd of 2021

honey's a well-known streamer/virtual idol with a truly Cultish following with a majority of her followers worshipping her akin to a god. she is obssessed with the idea of making people beautiful, with no real concept of what that Beauty is, as she believes beauty is in the eye of the one presenting that beauty, as such she would not change someone without their explicit permission. she loves to be worshipped and idolized, but denying her that adoration does nothing to dissuade her bright personality, there is nothing you can say to convince her she is not worthy of it.

honey is a 6th generation tzimisce, her adoptive sire is delilah and true sire was killed to prevent any complications

⚠️WIP⚠️Strength: 3/5 Dexterity: 2/5 Stamina: 3/5 Charisma: 4/5 Manipulation: 2/5 Composure: 3/5 Intelligence: 2/5 Wits: 2/5 Resolve: 1/5⚠️

honey is a party girl and there will be mentions of drug/alcohol use and i will tag them as “drug mention” or “alcohol mention” if mentioned

nsfw content will be tagged as “nsfw //” or “nsfw language”

⚠️EYES, CULT-LIKE BEHAVIOR, BLOOD, AND BODY HORROR WILL NOT BE TAGGED⚠️

honey is pansexual and disinterested in a romantic relationship but sexually available

honey is doing GREAT and you should trust her

honeys best friend circle consists of dolls, sam, jules, her owl butler hubert, and diana who lives inside of her

she loves making friends and talking to people, though, so feel free to shoot her a message! she WILL talk to you

if your character is rude or just generally mean for no real reason (there are funny exceptions to this rule) honey will not want to speak with you and will probably unfollow you

ooc follows are fine, if i dont interact with your character much ill probably end up unfollowing, though

will add more if i can think of anything

[show-us-kaidenshenandoah]

ill eventually make a proper, pretty intro-post

but hello, hi, i am Kaiden-Shenandoah Knapp

also, yes, Kaiden-Shenandoah is my first name. the hyphen is optional, but you still have to type/say the whole thing. no, you may not call me "Kaiden". yes, i am aware it is a mouthful lol

(probably gonna change my surname is "Knapped" in a few years. i wanna distance myself from some shitty family while making the Indigeneity in my surname more apparent. dont be surprised when that happens. im just putting it off bc i got a lot on my plate rn lol)

(also if you knew me as "Kayleen", hi, hello, i no longer go by that childhood nickname. it is retired, wave goodbye, better to have loved and lost and all that)

this is my messily mindless "welcome to my head" blog, we do things very casually here. im making it my new Main (as of 24 March 2024). my professional/art blog is @kaidenshenandoahknapp

but the real point of this post is: i am not a bot lol

and also, stuff is on a queue (until i do a mass-reblog binge but, typically, i am on queue)

everything in my queue is now 2 post per 24 hours (as of: 20 April 2024)

ive been on tumblr before, but since this is a new Main, im just going through my favorite content-creation blogs i know and mass-queueing loads of the op's projects. (if you are one of those said blogs and find this nth new notes a day from me annoying, please let me know; and i will just spam them all to Post Now so i can get out of your hair asap) i'm also just not good at regularly keeping up with creators' new stuff week-by-week, so instead i generally mass-queue because i assume mass-reblogging is a bit more overwhelming, idk, maybe im just overthinking lol

tags guide: (mostly for me, ngl lol i need reminders of what i tag what when i do my mass-queues)

#me - me posting something

#relatable - "omg that is so me" at someone else's post

#aesthetic - me just really liking the vibes, which sometimes just also happens to be pretty to look at lmao

#canines wolves and werewolves i love - i know what i am about. ill probably have more "niche My Special Interest tags" as i find posts that fit them

#nutty nutcrackers / #the nutcracker - another Special Interest tag. pretty self-explanatory, i like The Nutcracker a lot lmao

#betty boop - you would think this belongs with fandom tags, but no. part of why i am obsessed with her (and have been since i was, like, 14) is because she was the popularization of the very next tag's trend

#infantalization in animation - it's when you apply baby facial proportions to an adult bodied character, it's most often done in female characters. i'll be using this tag outside of animated stuff btw. but yeah, anything that examines that visual design choice i am all 👀 over lmao

#other people's art - any individual person, not counting final version of studio work (like ill tag "Lilo and Stitch"'s exploratory concept art with this, sure, but i wont tag stills of the "Lilo and Stitch" film)

↳ #animal art

↳ #background art

↳ #oc art - is all "my original character in a canon piece" kind of ocs, not the "my original character in my original story" type

↳ there are also specifically listed artists here and there if they have influenced me/my style in the past or recently (such as but not limited to: #rvsa). almost all of them are indies with social media (aka: no Van Gogh, no Hayao Miyazaki. if they have their own fandom, i tag said fandom and not the specific artist, usually. it depends. there are some gray areas)

#brushes - the (digital) brushes people i like use

#art tips

#writing tips - is about actually doing the practice

#on writing - is the philsophy about the practice

#[insert fandom here]

#[insert fandom here] analysis

(here are the tags i chose for some fandoms that had multiple possible tags. this is not all of my fandom tags)

● #studio ghibli, #[insert studio ghibli title here] (i tag both the movie itself and studio. because sometimes i want something from the original movie, so i go into those tags; and i also go to the studio to look at overarching things since the studio has such a strong overall aesthetic/visual brand)

● #[insert disney title] (here, i do tag the specific movies and i dont just use the studio. because im usually looking for specific things this one disney movie has)

● #moomin (as opposed to "moominvalley", "tales of moominvalley", or the like)

● #my hero academia (so many different options for one work)

● #trigun (so many different branching creations from one source lmao im just gonna lump them together)

● #into the spiderverse (i dont use "across the spiderverse" for simplicity's sake, and i don't use the hyphen/space between "spider(-)verse" also for simplicity. its easier for me to be consistent if i just go "nah, its all one word")

● #marvel comics (i do not tag the mcu specifically)

● #dc comics, #batman (i tag both. but i dont tag any other dc comics property. i just know im esp obsessed with the batfam enough that, sure, they should get their own tag)

[liathgray]

heya! you dont know me i dont think if u do i am very sorry i dont know usernames super well, but your post asking for help with smoke came up on my dash and im an asthmatic whose spent a couple wildfire seasons dealing with smoke and i got word limited so i am in here

so i dont have too much about properly recovering from smoke inhalation but i did have to do a lot to prevent it getting worse- i have asthma and i actually forgot my inhaler was an option so if you have one on hand definitely use it smoke brain is a killer. also make sure you chug water like your life depends on it although you've got ice chips so im assuming you're already on that- hot water and tea felt really nice for me. saline is also a friend it helps with the dried/burning feeling in my nose (you can get them for pretty cheap at a lot of pharmacies so you can snort it). also taking a hot shower helped because the steam was really nice

putting wet towels in the cracks in the doors and windows can help. covering your nose and mouth with one can also be helpful especially if your room is especially smokey (it is a bit harder to breathe but it can help trap some of the larger particles floating around and personally just made me feel better).

also washing my face a lot- my eyes and face were constantly burning so making sure you splash your face regularly to get that crap out of your eyes can help. 

There are also instructions online about how to make cheap air filters with a box fan and a furnace filter you can get for pretty cheap that can also help clean up the air in your house

I read this last night and have not been this grateful for someone sending an ask in a WHILE. The face washing helped, i didnt even realize my eyes had been burning until afterwards YEESH

Luckily my room isnt super affected by the smoke, the filters r pretty good, but sealing up the windows with towels made a noticeable difference

Mighth scramble to get some saline and cough drops today? They seem to be a common recommendation. Thank you so so much for the advice i owe u my life. I hope its ok if i tag this in relation to the fired just cause im sure other ppl are looking for the same advice as me

[gravemushrooms]

"don't feed the trolls" likely originates from early usenet posting or if not that possibly from bbs culture of the early 80s; it was (almost certainly) around for a long time before the world wide web. early web forums inherited a lot of cultural norms from usenet and mailing lists that were popular in the mid-late 80s through early 90s

the adage is a recommendation to ignore disruptive people and deprive them of the attention they seek. this assumes that exclusion is an effective method to create and maintain a community that works together in good faith. obviously this doesn't work well on larger anything goes venues like usenet or later social media like twitter. it is reasonably effective when paired with moderators in smaller communities, but these are only ever as good as their contributors and leadership.

on any large venue it's often down to individuals to shape their unique experiences instead of relying on an authority to manage communication. a rough equivalent to "blocking" on social media was available through a kill file

the earliest evidence i could find of the adage on usenet through searching google groups was a post from 1995, but i feel certain the adage was around before then

i didn't start regularly using the internet until around 1997 and i'm sure someone older than me would know better when the adage started getting popular. in one way or another, either through authoritarian intervention or through individual tailoring, exclusion always ends up being the method used to shape experiences or communities.

i'm writing this because someone else posted about how the adage was common on web forums prior to social media web 2.0 stuff, but i wanted to add that there's a depth of time to this stuff that extends beyond just the last 10 years and goes beyond even my own experience. twitter and tumblr still have ways to exclude posts with user-designated terms or tags and that's essentially the same thing as a kill file. using a kill file is much more effective ime than berating others about "feeding trolls."

i don't find that there's much point in trying to teach the young to avoid engaging in pointless arguments. those arguments won't always be pointless to them; those arguments may be important in young people's development as those arguments may be their first encounter with the ideas involved in the argument. it's important too that older people sometimes deign to engage in these arguments so they can more fully demonstrate a sophisticated view (whether or not a reader agrees with that view). it can also be important for a person to repeatedly engage with a category of problems or behaviors to demonstrate that those problems or behaviors exist and are worth addressing. if you don't like angry posting, don't seek it out, and use your kill file, and when your kill file fails, add some terms and be choosy about what you read.

tagged by @hua-fei-hua! it’s been ages since I’ve done one of these it was kind of fun lol! sorry for the delayed answers...

1. are you named after anyone?

a couple of ppl assume my name is kiri because it’s like, referencing kirishima from bnha. i haven’t kept up with bnha properly since. honestly since the dabi reveal ch dropped so that’s… nov 5th 2020 lol. I’ve got residual feelings abt it but not much interest in actually reading it (sorry). nowadays I don’t get as much of that anymore—my name is just like. digimon dusk only lets your character have a 4 character name max so I hit various syllables together and keysmashed until it sounded good. im attached to it now.

2. when was the last time you cried?

…today lol. i cry easy when i'm frustrated.

3. do you have kids?

no. I have a Feeling this will be rather unrelatable to whoever I tag so. electing to present my own question:

3 (again). [FREE SPACE] recommend a song?

im gonna recommend Tsuru (en: Bowstring) by koyori / denbolP bc it’s great. I love this producer actually.

4. do you use sarcasm a lot?

mm I think im probably averagely sarcastic but like. I do have a habit of like. ex: someone will be like oh where’s [kiri]? when I’m literally right there and I have the immediate impulse to say, completely straightfaced, like “oh [kiri]? sorry they’ve been dead for seven years. they’ve never been in this room in your entire life.” so essentially I like doubling down on things when I think it’s funny.

5. what sports do you play/have played

i played basketball for six years!

6. what's the first thing you notice about people?

i think the first like, physical detail I pay proper Attention to is earrings. just cause I like em. apart from that it’s probably their voice and what they find funny.

7. eye color?

brown. comparatively I think it’s rather dark to the point of looking black.

8. scary movies or happy endings?

i mean I feel like this is a. false dichotomy but I really don’t have a good stomach for horror and stuff so. happy endings ig.

9. any special talents?

talents… I’ve memorized my squares up to 30-ish, so like if for example if someone says 28 I can rattle off 784. I’ve been told I have a talent for talking abt media I like but that’s also something said by my lovely friends lol.

10. where were you born?

on earth. im also electing to replace this with my own question:

10 (again). what made you make a tumblr account?

if ppl look at my blog they shall think I showed up in 2020 but I’ve actually been here since 2015. I just… deactivated my acct by accident when I meant to delete a sideblog. ok. so obviously I remade in that case. I made one back in 2015, though, because I was like, really into hxh and ran into some hxh blogs I was like. in love with. also some fairy tail fic authors I rly respected were on here. and I wanted to discuss hxh and post fic. so I joined.

11. what are your hobbies?

writing! and reading! and drawing! and playlist making. im basic. writing is probably #1 to me tho I rly enjoy it. like for all I complain about it I actually really enjoy the act of like putting down words and crafting stuff and editing. I’d actually love to beta fic more regularly. and get reallllly good at grammar (seriously if anyone has any resources on that chuck it at me) and action scenes. those r my big two dreams.

12. do you have any pets?

nope! i do have a depressing amount of wips I have not taken care of, tho…

13. how tall are you?

5’2” or about 158 cm, i haven't measured myself lately. I’ve been told my various sources that I have “tall person energy” tho. im not as good abt it nowadays but I tend to be a bit careful abt keeping my back straight. at the very least I’m pretty aware of it. I wanna say it was just cool of me to be that way bc I was into having good posture but I’m like 90% sure it was because I read skip beat and I really liked that kyoko stood that way.

14. favorite subject in school?

math by farrrr. literature is dependent on the teacher for quality imo and while I enjoyed it I was always a bit sad that we never did any creative writing. math is just very nicely methodical.

15. dream job?

honestly I don’t have one. like I’d love to publish a book some day but I don’t want it to be my Job. im pretty satisfied just doing smthing productive-feeling and where I have enough free time tbh.

no obligation to answer ofc to anyone tagged. also if you don’t want to answer any of the questions just reject them... I just provided alternates bc I felt like it. i think this is supposed to be 15 questions for 15 mutuals but i dont want to tag that many people... @icharchivist @sunnnfish @dirtbra1n @mxddyhero @heartsdash @watcher-ofthe-sky @estradasphere

beep beep well diz, you know me and i know you. i've had the pleasure of RPing with you on zhilan so that gives me perspective to talk about vanth which is a whole another can of beans. i think i speak for us both when i say he's surprised me; i figured he'd adapt to isola like a fish in water and have the time of his life slaughtering and living it up while being crazy-silly-deadly here and there. our interactions on wang yi seemed to point that way (and to an extent still do, their dynamic is the fun kinda unhinged) but then you sent him to hell and heaven within the same month and now look, his humors are all imbalanced or something.

it's great, isn't it XD

although unplanned i think this element of surprise is what made him more real to me, you expect him to react a certain way and he does, but now he's developing nuance beneath the obvious reactions and that's what's making him more fun; i think in this way he's starting to take on a life of his own, to have new goals and aspirations he's developed as he's settled in isola, and i can only imagine where he'll go from here being an OC with a blank canvas to expand. i am looking forward to tagging along for the ride and maybe pushing and prodding him further; it's very fun to poke him knowing it'll get a reaction (and maybe explode, who knows). and there's so much to explore too! his contract with seb his promise with aury his doppelganger best friend situation with wang yi etc., i guess we'll be seeing more of each other in threads in the future yeyyyyy

also jade isn't here so im having aury call dibs on riel for good go suck it sebastian

p.s. if any of this sounds rambly it's me at 12AM my english deteriorates after 10PM yeah

beep beep!

hello there, beloved lethe! fancy seeing you here, hehe.. you spoil me with these types of honest thoughts on my ocs, it's genuinely SO kind and means the World... that said, i am gripping your shoulders and shaking you. YEAH!! i'm surprised too!!! gdjgfjd! i apped vanth with the idea that he'd be doing what we both assumed he would—living it up, being silly, causing chaos, murdering a whole bunch, all things of that kind of "unserious" nature. and then he gets here, and you and jade throw an angel and a demon at him, sending him to heaven and hell, and now my deranged little gremlin is all kinds of messed up lmao!!! it's something i didn't anticipate whatsoever, because in vanth's worldbuilding, beings like angels and demons do not regularly walk amongst man. vanth has only ever seen one angel, and that was a demon in disguise. pactbearers are possessed by demonic sins like he is, he's faced those, but they're still people. and among those, he's one of the strongest—pride, his match in strength, is a low-potential host, fated to burn out much faster than he is, and wrath has no host: it would be the equivalent of the anti-christ and bring about the end of the world should that ever happen. suffice it to say, vanth has always been used to being top-dog in terms of position, and yet he's become a chess piece to two higher powers within his first months of existing in isola. i hadn't accounted for the possibility of that. it's definitely done things to him. terrible, wonderful things. it's opened up his nuance to me. i was prepared to rp him at face value because it's how he has always presented himself to the world, but between aury and seb his band-aids have all been forcibly torn wide open again—which not only surprised me, as a mun, but him in-character. vanth spent a pretty long time at peace with what he is. a monster, a killer, something ugly, unsalvageable. he's also walked around for years with his false pride unchecked. sebastian was his first meeting here, and knocked him down several pegs right from the get-go. he changed direction the moment he got to isola; he was suddenly more interested in being useful to something more powerful than him, now having very little of it here. and then he went to heaven and aury, by converting him, showed him an alternate path—one where salvation is not beyond him. and even if it's not IDEAL (the opposite, actually. it kind of sucks, he'd be losing himself all over again.) it's an avenue of possibility he would have never otherwise had and it's... oh boy, it's weighing on him. aury is an answer to his prayers that came too late. and it's GREAT because they're all things i WANTED to explore with vanth, but didn't think i would get the chance to because of the way he is as a character. after i made him, i later packed more onto him to make him nuanced and complex, but he doesn't manifest that way at all if he has the choice, making good and proper exploration a challenge. this has single-handedly smashed his mask into pieces, and with him exposed again, vanth has the choice to rebuild it or let it be put together differently this time, into something new. it's a great crossroads to have him stand in, thank you for that. and that's not even touching on the stuff with wang yi!!! their dynamic is the typical kind i'd expect out of vanth, but the added flavor of him looking like soul is bound to add some interesting things to the already-boiling pot. especially because vanth is only going to think more about soul the longer he's here, and the deeper he sinks into seb and aury's hands. you're totally right to say he's taken on a life of his own, it's completely exceeded my expectations for him, and i'm stunned dgfjgd. clearly, i'm insane about all this. just look at this behemoth reply i gave you. thank you for this message, lethe!! you are a delight. muah muah. (also get a running start while u can, aury!!! i don't think seb is gonna let u have riel for long.)

im having what may be the worst week in my whole 20 years on this earth, so here's a few byler thoughts i commented on someone's post and thought deserved their own post!!! if i got some things wrong, sorry im extremely mentally drained and my wifi literally stopped working halfway through this <3 feel free to correct me or join me in my delusion in the comments/tags/asks/dms though!!!! i need a distraction desperately so don't hesitate to interact!!!!

without further ado, here it is:

why the "i told you, joyce has this telemarketer job. mike won't stop whining about it" line is definitely about will, as evidenced by literally what the show tells us.

it's not exactly clear when watching season 3 what el's status is with the us govt following its finale. she's searched for throughout seasons 1, 2 and 3, but it's clear she was discovered following her role in fighting the spider monster and stopping the soviets. it's assumed some sort of deal is made following the battle of starcourt, allowing el to live as a normal teenager after the byers family relocates to california — dr. owens is said to help them settle in lenora, in a house they most likely wouldn't be able to afford without help.

i've seen points made for both will and el being primary reasons for the byers family leaving. will, obviously traumatised by the upside down and thus the whole town of hawkins, most likely wouldn't stand to stay there much longer without his mental health deteriorating. el is very much the same — the lab, upside down, the mall where she lost her dad are still fresh in her mind.

however, we also later find out about an apparent divide between the government and hawkins national lab, namely dr. owens and brenner. we learn that el is indeed still a fugitive, and she is still actively being searched for by authorities. that's the real reason for the move.

we've finally arrived at our point — letters, calls, and how mike kept in touch with both el and will.

in seasons 1-4 we are shown numerous times that phones are not to be trusted, and that phone lines are not safe. we know the people who were initially wiretapping hopper's and joyce's phones are the same people who then helped them escape, but after season 3 (timeline wise) and season 4 (when we are shown), this changes. dr. owens and brenner are no longer working with the government, instead operating in secret, meaning the means of communication they used to once take advantage of is no longer viable for el.

although this is only speculation on my part, i would venture to say it's pretty obvious.

government taps phones, it's a thing they do —» can no longer trust government —» knowing they tap phones, you shouldn't use them anymore.

this, however, isn't speculation: el is never mentioned in association with calls, only letters. season 4 opens with a letter from el to mike being read out, when she and mike fight she pulls out a stack of letters to prove he can't write that he loves her, and finally, will's line at the rinkomania:

"you've called maybe a couple of times. it's been a year, mike. meanwhile el has like, a book of letters from you."

will thinks mike is no longer interested in whatever he has to say because mike only called a handful of times within the timespan of a year (actually closer to 8 months, but...). he also pairs that sentiment with the fact that mike does keep in touch with el, exchanging letters regularly.

letters, because of the phone lines not being secure, are an El Thing™. we can gather from this line that calls are a Will Thing™, or at least they used to be before joyce got that telemarketing job (the timeline of which is unclear, honestly, given how the last letter el sends to mike in march mentions the job as though it was a new development, which does nothing to explain why mike failed to stay in touch with will since october. but that's another can of worms we don't have time to unpack now. my bet is on internalised homophobia btw).

thus, the line about mike whining about joyce's job? he regrets not being able to talk to will.

bonus: why doesn't mike want to write will letters, too?

i'd bet on a mix of the fanfiction staple aka "i couldn't write because i would constantly pour too much heart onto paper and/or sign the letter as love, mike" and (arguably more plausible) mike finding will's voice comforting.

i mean, come on, their whole thing is being afraid of losing each other. season 1 and 2 are literally about mike losing will and trying to get him back, first physically then mentally. season 3 is mike losing will metaphorically, growing apart because of his actions. in season 4 they acknowledge this — will saying he'd prefer to rip off the bandaid if he were to lose mike, and mike recognising that he lost will because he worried too much about el.

i feel like after all of this, ESPECIALLY seasons 1 and 2, it would be comforting to mike to actually hear will and know that he's safe and sound. if your best friend disappears for days and his voice is the only thing giving you hope about him being alive, i think it's understandable to prefer being able to hear him when he's gone from sight.

i keep imagining season 1 mike calling out to will on the walkie talkie, and can't help but think letters simply wouldn't cut it for them.
