There seems to be some discourse lately about content, the kind of content, and the community as a whole. Now, the last thing I want to do is stir up anything, but I had some thoughts that I'd like to type out, and I appreciate whomever decides to read it.

The purpose of this band is to make us happy. You've heard it time and time again, as long as we go home at the end of that show feeling just a little better, then TF is satisfied. And it seems like lately that happiness is hard to achieve here, on twitter, or wherever else one is active.

On Headcanon

Were you sitting at work today? Home? And suddenly that thought popped into your head, a little scene playing out about Copia, or Terzo, or Secondo, or Primo. A thought that filled you with excitement, butterflies dancing in your belly, which had you smiling because yes, in the world that makes you happy, that is what they are like. That is what they do. That is what they say. It's an amazing thing and it's good and okay, and you should be excited about it. Because you just added another chapter to the amazing story in your head. And you decide to post about it, but...someone left you an anon. Someone left you a comment. Someone vague posted. And it hurt.

This is happening far too often across tumblr, and it needs to come to a close. I understand that we all have vastly different ideas of who the Papas are and how the Ministry works, but that does not give a single one of you an excuse to say anything untoward or foul to anyone else on this platform. And this isn't talking about any particular group because more often than not, posts like this are used to justify the actions of others. You do not have permission to use this to further your agenda. Be kind. Choose to ignore that fic. Choose to stay off that person's blog. Stop making posts at the expense of others just because you don't like a particular aspect of their world.

I promise you'll still be able to sleep at night.

On F! Reader and x Reader Fic

I have seen many posts since I joined tumblr to write for the Ghost fandom that express a dislike toward reader fics, and in particular f! reader fics. I can't speak for anyone else, but I'd like to just reflect on my own thoughts on the matter, and once again, I appreciate the time taken to read and perhaps understand where I'm coming from, and know that it is a place of care.

I am a woman. When I write fic, I am writing it to satisfy my own little world in my head. So naturally, I am going to make the reader female, because the universal you is not only the friends I share it with or those kind enough to read, but the you is me. Every sweet word whispered, or gentle touch from a Papa is something I wish would happen to me.

I do not have the right to invade someone else's perspective. I do not understand what it is to be a gay man. I do not understand what a trans person experiences every day, and therefore, I do not feel like it is my place to write these perspectives in an x reader fic, or more so than that, in smut. And otherwise, I'm just not comfortable in doing so. I know my experience, and isn't the first step of writing, writing what you know?

I want there to be inclusivity in writing, but that doesn't start with attacking other authors for writing from their own perspective. It doesn't start with making hostile posts about reader fics, because what's the outcome? You just end up with some people very hurt and unwilling to post their stories because they think it's unwanted.

If you feel comfortable exploring these topics, talk to your mutuals. Say hey, what can I do to gain a better understanding of the content that I'm writing? What can I do to ensure that I'm not fetishizing due to my lack of knowledge? Be a community, and help each other out.

On Notes and Reblogs

A note is not the value of your writing. Whether you receive just a few or hundreds, you have impacted someone. Someone loved your story. Someone is thinking about your story all day. Someone was able to make it through because that one thing line you wrote spoke volumes to them.

We put so much of our energy into worrying about notes that the reason we started writing in the first place is lost. It becomes a chore. There are a hundred WIPs sitting in our folders because it becomes so goddamn painful just to work on one.

No one owes you a reblog. No one owes you a like. And even though it's nice, and it's gratifying to see nice comments on something you worked hard on, notes cannot be used as a currency between followers or mutuals. It just becomes a poison. Your entire tumblr experience is going to be marred by the constant worry that you aren't good enough just based on a number.

Learn to appreciate the ones who do read. Allow your story to make you feel good because there it is! That thing you've been thinking about. It's written down. You brought it to life. That is far more valuable than a tumblr note.

If you've reached this point, thank you. Everything you're feeling is good, and okay, and we're gonna get through. Because even now? When it feels like things are more hostile than happy? You still have Ghost. And you still have everything.

[lcngdays-arc]

Positivity anon here! Could I ask you to shout out to your five fave blogs? Just to make someone smile today and let them know you love their blog! Maybe even say a little about why!

Hello Beloved Positivity Anon! Sorry for the late reply, I don't get much done during the week, but the weekend is where I thrive! Now, it's hard to pick JUST FIVE FAVES. So I may have included a few more <3

@plcasantnights // While Corpse isn't active on tumblr anymore, he's still my absolute best friend ever. I love him with my whole heart and we've written countless stories together, we've met irl multiple times, and I just. Don't have enough good to say about this man.

FINALLY, I AM ABLE TO POST MY JOJI RPF ON Archive of Our Own (AO3):

Since I am new to this platform, I didn’t realize that AO3 requires an invitation, which took me a week to obtain.

Here are ways to check out my story, Fleeting Thin Places (Joji 2024)

Archive of Our Own (AO3):

https://archiveofourown.org/works/58466338/chapters/148934908

Wattpad:

https://www.wattpad.com/myworks/374457677-fleeting-thin-places-joji-2024

I started writing again because of George 'Joji' Miller. While he may be my muse, I firmly believe in the saying 'Never meet your heroes.' I remind myself often that he, like other people and celebrities, is merely an inspiration. At the end of the day, it’s best to remain ignorant of the things we don’t truly have the right to know. Otherwise, you'll go nuts.

I wrote this story for Joji fans today, particularly those who came in after his Filthy Frank era and aren’t familiar with Pink Guy or Frank. It’s especially for those around his age (he will be 31 this September 2024; correct me if I’m wrong)

BRIEF SUMMARY OF FLEETING THIN PLACES:

"I wanna make people sad and horny, you know what I mean?" - George "Joji" Miller -- My story might make you sad and perhaps even a little bit horny, because life is nothing more than a series of fleeting moments—an endless transaction of beautiful conflicts, isn't it?

__

fleeting thin places looks at how our choices shape our lives and create different paths we can't all explore. It’s about the struggle to make a relationship work despite different priorities and life goals. While LOOSELY inspired by Joji (this does not represent him in reality), the focus is on two young people in love, dealing with timing and priorities.

The narrative reflects the human experience of giving up something we love for something else, showing the bittersweet side of life’s decisions. The fig tree symbolizes wanting more but knowing we can’t have everything. The story ultimately explores the sacrifices we make, similar to George's choice between a private life and fame

CLARIFICATION ON INSPIRATION AND CHARACTER REPRESENTATION:

I've mentioned this several times throughout my story, usually in the end credits of almost every chapter, but Fleeting Thin Places is loosely inspired by George Miller, specifically the public persona he portrays, his branding as an artist, and his work in the entertainment industry. His love interest, Victoria, is a fictional character, so there's no need to worry about her.

George Milner (yes, Milner in my RPF; I have basically tweaked most facts out there) is a fictional character that is loosely inspired by George Joji Miller, but he’s not meant to be the real person. For me, characters in RPFs are not the actual individuals—they’re inspired by their public personas. Timelines may change, and some harmless facts may be tweaked for their protection. Please keep this HUGE difference in mind.

Ultimately, I wrote this story because Joji inspired me to pursue the things I love.

Here’s a quote from the man himself:

“It was the only and biggest changing point,” says Miller. “Immediately after that, my whole mentality changed. I stopped touching social media. I only cared about what I cared about. Life is short.”

(The Joker, Joji, Notion Online) Miller, G. (2024). The Joker, Joji. https://notion.online/the-joker-joji/

And I wholeheartedly agree. Life is short, so since Joji became an inspiration for me, I decided to write again. I made him my muse with no intention of offending him through this story.

Finally,

I’ve decided to take a break from Tumblr for a while, so this will be my last post here for the time being, and I might not be active for a while. However, if you'd like to chat, have questions or feedback, or just want to say hi or discuss how insanely of a daddy Joji is (Jk!), feel free to email me at:

[rainbowsky]

hi rainbowsky, love your blog and your very articulate and sane view of things. It’s been very calming and comforting when there’s so much noise (and hate) in the world. So, thank you!

Curious your take on wyb wearing a bandana hanging from his left belt hook, at the Shu Uemura event today. And not a designer bandana, like the Chanel one he had on his backpack on recent trip to Japan.

I immediately thought of 1970s San Francisco gay culture, men would signal their orientation by hanging them from left side, right side, back pocket (L/R). Not thinking too much about color significance since red is Shu Uemura’s brand color. I don’t know anything about the new ad campaign he’s doing with them, but 1970 and 1971 were on 2 posters behind where he was seated.

It just flashed on me so I’d thought I’d ask. 🧐 🤡

Hi Hellopedey! Thanks, I'm glad you're enjoying my blog! 😊

Inquiring minds want to know: is DD trying to signal to the world that he wants to stick his fist up their ass for Shu Uemura?

You aren't the only person to take note of this. I've seen people mentioning hanky code in the tags of reblogs of my post of the photos from that event, and I've seen people talking about it on Twitter, too. It's become quite a topic since the event.

This is a question that has come up a few times in the past, but alas - it's often impossible to find old posts on Tumblr, so rather than being able to point to my previous post about it I will just re-answer.

Fake, fan fiction, CPN.

Long story short: I don't believe for one hot second that DD is using hanky code. There are a lot of reasons I feel this way, and I'll get to that in a minute, but the number one thing I want to bring home for people is that:

Everyone is allowed to wear hankies without assumptions being made about their sexual activity/preferences.

Including you, Hellopedey, and every other reader. Maybe that's not as much of a relief to some readers as it would be to those who happen to be queer and heavily sexualized by others, but it should take a load off some minds. 😅

You know that old saying, "Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar*?" Well, sometimes a hanky is just a hanky. I'd go so far as to say that a hanky is almost always just a hanky. Even if worn by a gay man.

*Incorrectly attributed to Freud, the origin of that quote is actually unknown.

Here are just a few reasons it's obvious to me DD isn't signalling (and I can't believe I have to say this, because it seems obvious to me):

Location, location, location. Please remember that hanky code is used when people are looking for sex. DD is at a brand event. He's not looking for sex.

His outfit is likely put together by a stylist, and that stylist is unlikely to be trying to hook him up with people for sex.

Hanky code isn't much of a Thing with young people these days. There's no need for it, since now all anyone needs to do to hook up with someone based on preferences is tick off a few boxes on Grindr or other apps (even in China).

Hanky code is pretty Western-centric. It's unclear whether it's even used in China.

As was discussed in the notes, bandanas are popular in hip hop fashion and in other fashion styles DD often wears.

Hankies are a very widely/wildly popular fashion accessory worn by people from all walks of life. Both GG and DD have worn hankies a lot, including for their fabulous Happy Camp dance, and in this context, it really is just a fashion accessory.

I'm going to say this as gently as possible, because I get it that people are just being clueless and oblivious, and that they don't intend to offend, but it really tweaks something in me as a gay person that so many fans are casually willing to make the assumption that DD is sexually signalling at work.

This goes back to the whole oversexualization in the fandom thing that I often lament.

I think fans - especially turtles - get so used to scrutinizing everything for signs and signals of GG and DD's sexual and romantic proclivities that common sense and GGDD's basic humanity are often overlooked. Fans could also stand to do a bit more to reflect on how their behavior and attitudes might (unintentionally) come across as offensive and homophobic* to queer people.

*Not saying this is where you were coming from, Hellopedey, but I hope all fans will reflect on it.

Please read this post for more info on that, because it's important.

PS] For those looking for something salacious about GG and DD, how about checking out the lyrics for the song they danced together to on Happy Camp? That's a pretty racy song for a couple of 'straight' guys to be dancing together to. 😅

[komorebi-rabbit]

Hey you!

I just came from your Sasori Roleplay account. I wasn't sure if you were active there anymore, so I hopped on over here via your pinned post.

You seem like a talented and fun person to roleplay with, so I thought why not ask?

I've read your rules and some of the older blogs and they really resonated with me.

I used to roleplay Itachi on Amino like you used to play/still play(?) Sasori on here. Those in depth roleplays that just make my heart sing. And also the RPs that are a pain to find because...well...novella takes work. And building a bond with a character who isn't naturally friendly takes even more time.

Still those have got to be the most fun times I can remember from my teens. And I misss them...

It was quite challenging to find people who share similar views on roleplaying and like the same fandom. So I must have given up sometime back. And when I read your blog today, I was instantly like "Oh my god this is exactly what I was looking for" (except like 6 years passed since I last attempted that xD)

So I wanted to pop in and say "Hi, I love your blog already!" but that didn't quite suffice so here we are xD.

It's kinda funny because after all this time not roleplaying, I found myself on tumblr, figured why not make a Sasori RP account (there are many others for the Naruto characters) to have some fun and be nostalgic? But...there was still a little 'eh' that was missing. And I found it in your blog.

I adore it, when people just get their characters and portray them correctly. And I've been aching to find more people like this. I remember it being quite the challenge in the past, back in my Itachi days, so it was like a gift to find your account!

Anyways, I am trailing off-

I'd love to RP with you sometime. Or...to just chat and reminisce about days past, even if I just discovered you today. I just know I would have loved to have you in my Akatsuki geoup back in 2015.

I hope you have a lovely day!

This is the SWEETEST message, oh my lord, thank you so much! You have no idea how happy this made me and how much I needed this little spark of positivity in my life right now!

I unfortunately no longer RP on tumblr due to some incidents that have made me wary over the years. I also no longer RP Sasori, but I do still RP in the Naruto fandom, just on Discord with friends that I am comfortable with. Novella does take work! But man, if it isn't worth the effort! I'm so glad people are still RPing and taking up Sasori. He absolutely deserves that love! Unfortunately, I did most of my tumblr RP back when the manga was still ongoing and tumblr was at its peak so there was a LOT more interaction then than I see these days. I wish it could go back to being that way! I miss a lot of the friends I made back then! (But also I'm still friends with some of them 10 years later, it's fantastic. You really form some lasting bonds). Even back then, however, there were only ever a couple of Sasori accounts (like... maybe 3, not including myself? And most were not active).

I'm mostly a Shisui RPer these days, though I do write for Kakashi, Tobirama, Kisame, and Izuna, too! Like I said, though, I only RP with those I'm super comfortable with, but if you want, I have plenty of recs for you! I'm also KomorebiRabbit on AO3 and @komorebirabbitwrites. My Sasori is actually heavily based on characterization from @renaerys and her works from back then (such as Zero Hour) and she is still writing FANTASTIC Sasori works to this day. I mean absolutely unbelievable, haunting, you will never get it out of your head type fics. Her characterization is unparalleled and also she's just an awesome person in general! I also mod @sasoriweek which will happen again in November of this year!

Also, if you like dark, horror-heavy Sasori, Athelise on AO3 is absolutely amazing! She writes such an interesting Sasori and some phenomenal smut, I definitely recommend her!

I was supposed to upload chapter 2 of my Aperture AU HLVRAI fic tonight but gosh, I just don't want to. I sat on that fic for so long because I was too busy with other stuff to upload it and the whole time I kinda thought people would be interested in it when I posted it. Like when I finished writing it I had a 'it sucks I can't post this right now because I like it and I'm excited to share' feeling about it.

Portal's popular so I kinda just assumed the fic would land well with the HLVRAI fandom. The fact that it hasn't is fine of course. People just aren't interested in what they're not interested in. It's certainly far from my first time being into something that isn't popular with the rest of whatever fandom I'm writing for. (I've long since learned my lesson about catering to what's popular in fandom after doing so made me actively dislike a fandom fav character I'd liked before who still haunts me to this day because it's a big fandom.) So I don't need the attention and most of what I post I don't expect it these days but in this instance I did think and expect more attention and even hoped for some engagement. In part that expectation was based off the performance of my other HLVRAI stuff, which in hindsight was a bit presumptuous; different vibes and all that. So I am very much not excited to post future chapters. I still will of course (just not today) because I like the fic and to get my total word count up just that little bit more. Also, the fic is done and only needs editing so it would feel like a waste to just leave the rest of it in my docs.

I can't rightly complain too much though. My 'WeverTF Benrey Is' and 'Gordon Swap' fics got far more traction than I ever would've expected. (Even if those fics being anomalies did contribute to my too high expectations.) So it's not like I'm bereft of interaction in my current fandoms. I just needed to vent a little to the void of Tumblr because feels bad, man.

[sapphire-weapon]

I'm the anon that asked about the backstory before and I can't believe the mafia thing is in the main section if the wikia page like it is canon, but it's like, the only one in there. I knew it wasn't canon because I saw it mentioned before but people really act like it's some well established thing and not something from an ad. I guess it's only good for pictures at this point. x.x

real talk if I didn't have a full-time job, I'd try to be diligent about keeping the wiki clean. it's been eight years since the circumcision incident. it's time for old guard to come back -- especially RE old guard, since we have so, so many new members of the fandom.

but I just don't have the time, man -- and, probably, neither does anyone else. because we're all in our 30s and 40s now and just can't dedicate ourselves to that kind of stuff anymore.

and that just sucks. it sucks for you new folks so fucking bad. it's not fair to you, and you all deserve a better fandom experience.

all I can do is keep screaming into the tumblr void and keep hoping that I can start attracting eyeballs to this blog somehow.

I want you guys to be able to enjoy RE in a way that my generation never got a chance to. we were always arguing over canon back in the day, because so little of it was clear, and new shit was coming out all the time, and it was so hard to keep up.

RE isn't that series anymore. we get a new game every few years and maybe a CGI movie and that's it. it's so easy to keep track of the canon these days, and it really is such a fucking bummer that there's people in the fandom actively trying to make it harder for you.

it's a very easy formula these days to understand this canon:

numbered game entries are the most canon. numbered game entries will always have the final say. period.

spinoff games starring the recurring cast* (Revelations, Code Veronica, etc) are the second highest tier canon.

CGI movies starring the main cast are the third highest tier canon.

spinoff games not starring the main cast (Outbreak, Dead Aim, etc) are the fourth highest tier canon.

anything else should be ignored.

*spinoff games that have a story, that is. things like The Mercenaries 3D and RE:Verse clearly don't count and are there for fun gameplay purposes only.

in an instance where things on the same tier contradict each other, the most recent installment wins out.

so, Sherry's age in RE2 is 10 because RE6 said so -- even though OG RE2's manual had her age listed as 12. her age of 10 years was then also reaffirmed in RE2make. so she was 10.

and Gaiden's not canon, despite it starring Leon and Barry, because RE4, RE6, and Revelations 2 do not acknowledge it as such.

it is very easy to follow this canon if you follow that recipe. please don't let bad faith actors lead you astray.

and please send people over here, if you can. despite the fact that I spent like 16 hours today raging out over the whole Adam Benford thing, I will still always be open for questions if anyone isn't sure if a thing they heard about is actually a thing or not. I will always cite my sources and explain why a thing is or is not canon if I need to, and I will even provide screencaps if I can. the wiki will not do this. because the wiki is being written by assholes.

also don't forget that I have an essential canon list already typed up and ready to be handed out. please use it as a resource. please.

What have you wrote

As of Today I have three completed Multi-fic chapters posted to Tumblr, so I'm going to do a What Have You Wrote and What Are you Writing Combo Post.

Somehow there' like 100 of you following me, and maybe this post will help. (I do have a pinned Master Post, but this is gonna go beyond that a little).

This is also a way for me to vent, and you'll see why in a minute.

Anyway - This is gonna get long, so

Posted to Tumblr Items: (these are ALL x Reader/reader insert fics)

A Light Touch - x Eustass - Modern AU (Part of the Grandline Metropolis Series) - a regular paper pusher, you're pushed out into an intersection by a drunk driver and involuntarily meet Eustass Kid. You lose your hand, and gain new friends, new headaches, and new skills. (Part 1 of a series).

Some Direction - x Roronoa - Modern AU - The population is declining, so the World Government decided to step in and arrange marriage for most of its citizens. Lucky you, plucky little librarian, you've been paired with Roronoa Zoro. Good thing for you he's the protective type, because old childhood tragedies are trying to rear their ugly heads again.

Family Ties - x Doflamingo - Modern AU - Mafia style - You're the unofficially adopted daughter of Edward Newgate, and besties with the local clinic doctor. One day you find an injured man in an alleyway and decide to help him out. Dodging people who are trying to kill him, you manage a successful rescue, now if only you could stay out of Trouble >.>

Not On Tumblr Yet, but Done!

Quicksand - x Crocodile - Modern AU (Part of the Grandline Metropolis Series) - Secretary to Buggy the Clown, District boss to the Rain Dinners Casino in the West Blue district, you got over your crush of the CEO ages ago. Recently you've been trying to date via a dating site, and soon you'll meet your match face to face!

Thrice Prophesized - x Roronoa - Modern AU (Part of the Grandline Metropolis Series) - Your first memory was of being chase by marines and practically blasted out of the sky. You wake up after being yanked from the water by a boy made of rubber, but your memories are shaky at best. All you know for sure is, you prophesized the fall of the ruling class, so maybe pirates are the best allies.

Not on tumblr Yet, and not done yet! (all links lead to Wattpad where all my Wips are)

Family Practice - x Law - Set in the same AU as Family Ties, this story dives into a What If? - What if the reader had become more than Besties with Law? Same Reader Same AU - just... an AU of the AU xD 10 chapters

Souled Out - x Eustass - Someone's stolen your soul, and you want it back. You haven't aged in 25 years, and for the last decade you've been studying how to summon demons. Now's the day to see if it's paid off, and if your summoned help can actually help you. 3 Chapters

Unseen - x Killer - set in canon universe with non-canon events. I wanted to write a book where Killer gets smooches, and that's what this is. It kind of got away with me, and I think I have a LOT of chapters ahead of me. 13 chapters

Isn't Enough - x Marco - set in canon universe with canon events. Reader is a doctor on the Moby, and a crew mate of Marco's. But that just Isn't Enough. 5 Chapters

Whew.

Booked, Honeysuckle Red, and Heart of Gold only have two chapters a piece so far. Royal Pains is a bit stalled out, but I haven't given up on it.

None of this is counting two books of one-shots, and the following pending titles I don't even have on active rotation:

A Light Touch 2 - Emperors Bara-teased Family Ties 2 - Gilded Lily Honeysuckle Gold Quicksand 2 - Warlords An Untitled Shanks Mafia AU Song Bird

Look, I guess, what I'm saying is, if you followed me for my writing, I have a lot planned. Unless life punches me in the face, I update 3-5 times a week. I have a day job, and I play some D&D, but otherwise I write.

I even started another title called Mafia Inked - JUST TODAY - and I didn't plan it. I have no idea where it's going to go or anything. But that's what the brain does. I got the idea, meant to write some notes, wrote a first chapter.

ANYWAY - you don't have to go to Wattpad or Ao3 if you don't want (I'm Quinloki on both), everything will get here eventually. Wattpad's just kind of my workspace. So things post there unedited.

Hey hey, if you do something like this, tag me! I want to see what my peeps are working on <;3

been a while, forgot old e-mail

I think the last blog I made was 'dutchkidhuffingballons.tumblr.com', the name inspired by the Sam Fender song. I'm pretty sure I stopped writing when I got into my first relationship.

Turns out a relationship(or at leas this one) made me vent to an actual human and turn away from my diary-type blogs for once. Now, three years down the line, I'm still dating this beautiful man. I'm no longer in the honeymoon phase (although at times it does feel like I'm right back in it again), and for the past year/year and a half I've been trying to find my groove back.

It's different. Living and trying to do your own thing while simultaneously spending so much time with such a sweet man. It's easy to let time fly by and forget about my old hobbies. I don't draw as much anymore, I don't see as many friends any more. I also think that's just part of growing up, but I do want to find myself back still.

It's so much easier to journal through my computer than it is writing in my diary, which actually is quite a shame. I don't know why, but words come to me much easier like this.

Anyway, it's been a while. I forgot my e-mail to my old tumblr account. Decided I might as well make my tenth-thousandth blog.

I think I just want to journal about what changes I go through as a person, what thoughts I have and what struggles I must combat. Maybe this will be the last post I ever post on here. Who knows...

Today is the 17th of October 2023. I'm 23. I live in Utrecht, across from my boyfriend in the same apartment complex. Summer is officially over, it's pretty chilly out but today at least the sky is bright blue.

I'm in my third year at college, meaning I'm following a minor ICT at HU. Pro: It's only a 5 minute walk to school, and I only have in-person classes two days a week. I've learned quite some programming in Python and I think I'm pretty okay at it. Con: The business part of the minor is the main part, and I tend to find it a little less interesting. I don't feel very motivated for it.

I've realized that now, for maybe the first time ever, I don't really have a solid friend group anymore. Of course I have loose friends that I feel close to, but a month or two ago I stepped out of my High School friend group because it was no longer a fulfilling friendship for me. They never really reached out to me and I tried to see them whenever I was in my home town, but it was never that meaningful. I do miss it, but I do think it's good I put some distance between us.

My college friends from my film studies don't feel as close to me as they once did. Every time we hang out, they talk about their work and business related things. Interesting, but it does put some distance between us. I miss them, but most of them are always busy. I guess I feel like they don't really have time for me. And I don't blame them, because I haven't been the most active friend to them either.

I miss having a solid friend group...

Okay, well. I think that's good for now. If anyone other than myself ever comes across this blog (which I doubt): hello, welcome. Feel free to read my diary. I'll try to stay anonymous and I'll appreciate it if you'll let me. From experience I know that this isn't going to be that interesting to myself in a few years, let alone for someone who doesn't even know me. But hey, I hope you're okay.

have a heart / post the links

every day i swoon over pw and send G-d's fury towards him for being a fake woke broke-activism lib 💔

yeah, i'm gonna judge him for not doing more with his platform. i'm much less famous and i use mine, so why shouldn't he? especially when he has a *history of progressive political activism up until the backlash against his blm support. which is understandable on his account! people treated him like shit! he didn't deserve the racist hate he got for that. nobody does. but he still gets hated on for being a biden liberal, even when he says the safest, most milquetoast things, so why not just go all the way?

(*at least some; don't fuck with me about the amount. he used to be much more open about his political stances and much more readily posting/participating in charity work. i want him to show that kinda spirit again, especially since it could potentially be more important now than ever.)

if he can post the gfms for the la fires, then he can post one (1) free palestine post. if andy can do it, pete should be expected to as well, especially given that pete has always been one of the most (if not the most) politically outspoken members of the band.

whatever happened to sleeping in cardboard box cities for uganda and sticking it to conservatives, even at the dinner table?

he knows how to share charity posts and take part in charity events and raise money for charity, but he won't support one more cause that'd cost him nothing? posting about it would cost him nothing! he's already made his millions. he already has countless diehard fans. the amount of fans he'd lose from this would be nothing compared to the amount of people whose respect he'd gain and lives he'd save.

whatever happened to scaring off the homophobes equals gaining more gay fans? the same sentiment applies here.

he'd lose nothing, if not gain more respect from fans and non-fans alike from showing his support for palestine in even as minor a way as posting links to verified charities like gaza soup kitchen or palestine children's relief fund or anera or arab.org.

he doesn't even need to make a statement about the war itself to post charities and gfms. all he'd have to do is do is post the links, as simple as that. that post could be the difference between a child starving today or not!

i understand that a lot of us want to be cynical about 'maybe he just doesn't care' or 'why should we expect celebrities to care?' or 'celebrity endorsement doesn't matter,' but it does matter. he has a platform he could be using to boost up a life or death cause, and he isn't, despite the fact that he has had a history of doing such (to an extent) and one of his fellow band members has contributed (even if in a small way) to the cause, so why shouldn't we expect that of pete, mr political activism himself?

i know i'll get given shit for daring a rich man to care from the comfort of his california mansion, but, you know what? fuck you. it does make a difference. his support could make a difference, even if it's a small one. we should expect better from the rich and powerful in this g-ddamned country. me wanting more from a man who used to do more is only just.

(i also know i'll get told, 'do you really think he reads shit like this? do you really think he cares about what some random tumblr user thinks?' and i have to say yes, i kinda do. they're obviously tuned in somehow to their fandom, even if through social media interns, so there is a chance this could reach him directly. besides, if nobody ever says anything, he'll definitely never hear it. even me posting this in a small way, just getting a handful of notes, is better than not talking about it at all. i'm doing my part to make a positive difference in this hell of a world and i think you should, too. it takes having stars in your eyes to light the night sky, for fuck's sake.)

pete wentz posting about it, bringing attention to it, showing that celebrities DO care and can use their platforms to boost causes and make a difference, could be the difference in several life-saving donations being made.

even just spreading awareness about the cruelty of the genocide is better than nothing. i'm not even asking him to donate, which he should also do! but the least he can do is post links to charities. the bar is on the floor! post the links, pete!

Mondelez International, formerly Kraft Foods, is a $40 billion US-based processed food conglomerate, that has spent the last 20 years doing hostile takeovers of as many snack food and candy companies as it can, I guess because we absolutely do not give a shit about monopolies anymore, HEY, WHY DO ALL THESE PACKS OF COOKIES COST $18 AND TASTE LIKE SHIT??

At any rate, this corporate behemoth apparently decided that TikTok is the new Tumblr circa 2012, in that if they act totally "cray-cray" and "not your MOM'S advertising," the hip young Baby Gronks will buy their "legally food" cookie-type product.

So they paid some truly awful people to make the equivalent of 20 year old Adult Swim videos about Nutter Butter, a peanut butter-flavored cookie you may have heard of but probably never ate, because there are Reese's (which they tried to forcibly buy in 2016, but were driven off. You'll get 'em next time, boys).

Why anyone would care what stupid dogshit the Nutter Butter socials are doing is...a valid question. So valid, in fact, that they, and I'm inferring here, OBVIOUSLY paid The New York Times to do a "feature" about how edgy and exciting this new genius marketing strategy certainly is.

No, I don't believe a New York Times reporter went to one of their terfy editors one day and breathlessly panted, "Hey boss! Have you seen what the Nutter Butter TikTok is doing?? We must tell the people!" Then they stopped the presses and worked long into the night to secure an interview with the MARKETING GOD who went "Hey what if we make sandwich cookie ads look like confusing shit?"

The only legal reason this isn't a paid ad spot* is because Mondelez didn't actively pay for it specifically, they just paid a sack of money in general at some point and shrugged. And that led to one of the saddest fucking things a loser has ever had to write:

https://www.nytimes.com/2024/10/07/style/nutter-butter-social-media.html

*It actually says "ADVERTISEMENT" at the top, so it absolutely is a paid ad. But the fact that I didn't notice is...exactly what they were hoping would happen. So you got me, you bastards. Doesn't change the rest of my observations, though.

(That link may not work. They are insistent that we all pay them actual real human money to read this. Just Google "New York Times Nutter Butter," if you dare.)

Marketing is a necessary evil, and hard to do, especially on the decentralized, Gen Z / Alpha Internet. And everything happening here is the saddest old man attempt ever to do it. It is fascinating, to watch this many people make such giant fools of themselves with this much money.

And it totally isn't working, unless you happen to be eating a Nutter Butter atm. But you're not. Become no one is. Including all these people. Because there are Reese's.

Also DO NOT go watch the videos in question. Don't encourage them.

Also all those videos are seizure-inducing and filled with jumpscares. Two things today's young people are TOTALLY into, minus trigger warnings. Good job again, dads born in the early 70s!

[gleefullypolin]

Glad to be a breath of fresh air! I don't want to say that I cringe a lot in the tag with the takes but, you know, yeah.😩

I don't particularly enjoy the double standard on either side but it really does seem to always come down harder on the women, especially any woman who doesn't present as expected. Just look at our little Pen being called the villain when we know if it was someone else there'd be a lot less of that. I'm still seeing bad takes 4 years later from another fandom I was in where a man and woman both made the same mistake and strangely, only her bad choice is talked about. Never his.

I agree, this isn't even on my list of things to worry about, ha. I have heard two versions of the rumor, one where he's there with them and one where he's watching them. I'm not going to get into the sudden fandom activism taking place about two women being paid to entertain a man but I will say that the distinction (if either is true!) is what I'd be most interested. It doesn't matter either way in the end but if it's the latter with him just watching, that's an entirely different thing that would need to be unpacked. Either way he's using escapism but not participating and a later scene being unable to participate? That's a man going through it and probably deserves some grace when he's also about to make himself suffer needlessly further.

People have made up their minds what the scene is without context or confirmation and it's certainly up to them to do so but having so much fandom experience I can say I've never seen anyone's worst case spiral of doom scenario they proclaim as fact be true in the end.

This man looking all over the world to find what he needs right across the road is great. He's been trying to be a Very Grown Up Man since s1 and he hasn't found purpose yet. I can't wait to see him actually find it this time.

Oh I agree, the media is the worst with fandom. It's best to stay out of it if possible. The media doesn't seem to understand the passion that the fandom has in all and tries to utilize it in all of the wrong ways. They're out of touch with a lot of it and truly, adding in the way a lot of fans feel entitled to what they want, it's always going to end in a melt down. Given the generational divide as well, you're going to have a bunch of people who think something is the worst thing in the world and the people who think it's really not that big of a deal so what are they yelling about?

I'm not saying it's easier to wait for context but in a month I feel like most of them won't even remember the full scope of their freak outs.

I have to say I DO cringe a lot, I try and stay neutral. That’s what I tell myself. I have actually stayed away from Tumblr honestly, but then there were all these pretty pictures, and I couldn’t resist. And then my big mouth takes off and all these ideas get in my head, and I use my blog as my therapy sessions.

Usually, my therapy is just with myself because most people just ignore what I have to say until you so thankfully came along to join into my sessions, and I must say I have truly appreciated not having to talk to myself all day long!

To the issue at hand…double standards…My word. We do live in a world today where women are sure held to a different standard than men and interesting that as I had thought we were moving out of regency standards of women having much more say and agency of themselves, we seem to step backwards more and more each day.

But that is a much bigger hole of a topic, when it comes to fandom however, we do seem to hold our men to a larger standard when it comes to our ships. God help Luke after this season airs. I pray our ladies and gents are on their best behavior to remember that Nic and Luke play these characters with the best intent and love for who they are and what is written for them.

I don’t know what will come of the article, I know the Sun is iffy and I’ve seen a lot of people say, “Yes its true” But there is 1) saying its true and 2) seeing it on screen. Back when screeners would give us a play by play of Glee episodes, they would tell us how a scene would play out and we would all get angry over a single phrase or an explanation of a specific description of a scene. Our brains all would create the story of what the intent was behind this one sentence or descriptor. Then we would get to the episode and the actual script around what played out was nothing near what my brain had created in that 2 second nightmare.

I’m sure we get a set up scene showing us that Colin is knowledgeable around a bodega, he’s been to these in his travels, he’s experienced with women, these are something that interest him and he’s curious about. That’s the set up. Then comes Pen. There is a kiss. There is confusion. Not realization, but confusion. Pen meets Obi Wan Debling. They hit it off. Success. Colin has done what he set out to do. He has accomplished his goal of making up with his best friend for his careless words the season prior. His unnerved, he needs release for some reason. He returns to what has calmed him before…but now scene two returns us to the familiar that is a set up for the audience and Colin to see that now is different. He no longer has interest. His confusion lifts because all he sees is Pen and he no longer wants what is offered in front of him.

And maybe I am also guilty of making up my mind about a scene before it plays out, because I have no context or confirmation either, but I would certainly be ok with being wrong also. I would prefer to take that than spiral into something else. To accept that Colin who has never been needlessly cruel instead is just a whore who is using his friend Pen to hurt her further while getting his rocks off. Because that is not the same person who can’t even swallow because she told him his eyes are really pretty. It just doesn’t compute so I refuse to spiral any other way.

In 27 days, all we will care about is that these beautiful people are staring at each other on our screens and we will be freaking out for more wonderful reasons.

hello, and welcome to the outbursts of everett true tumblr!

i first encountered this saint of direct action a few years ago but recently rediscovered him while doing some research for a wip. frustrated by how scattered these strips are across the internet, i decided to make a project of consolidating whatever i could find—both for my personal reference as well as amusement—in an effort to preserve at a time where companies are doing their damnedest to excise physical media. —while technology's changed dramatically since a hundred years ago, willful ignorance is an evergreen problem. equally eternal is the urge to inflict respectable violence on those who don't give a second thought to others and are too happy to violate boundaries; and since the law loves to limit the ways in which one can avenge offense, the outbursts of everett true are the closest we can get to real catharsis.

there are, however, some exceptions regarding content: i won't be posting any strips that feature everett's wife assaulting him, because domestic violence is never acceptable no matter who it comes from. i also won't be posting any strips that feature caricatures of black people. mercifully, those strips are limited, but while the series is progressive as far as everett's sense of principle, it's unfailingly a product of its time (1905-1927). this isn't me ignoring the fact; i'd just rather not post anything hurtful, even for the sake of organization.

this blog is managed by one person, so i'm doing my best to cobble together what i can, but some of these strips have proven evasive; doesn't mean i won't find them, though (call me milo thatch because i'm nothing if not determined). comics will be posted by publication date, first by day then by year. given these strips have a career of twenty-two years, i have plenty of material to circulate for a while, so even though i'll have gaps in activity due to other projects, i intend to stick around for as long as everett lets me.

thank you for your interest, and enjoy! 💖

here's a man who wouldn't take it.

We've forgotten about Everett True, a man who attended with prejudice to those most deserving—the daily pests. Sure, superheroes may have stopped crimes and Popeye may have known his share of dust-ups, but what about the million annoying twerps who don’t break the law but instead stomp on the social contract? When do they get theirs? Everett had no superpowers nor can of spinach, just a keen sense of human nature and the will to reward it but good.

Everett True wished to live a simple life. He wished to go about his day without being unnecessarily bothered. His success, then, was not far from your own today. From loud-mouths in the theater to the overly pushy salesman, from the incessantly bothersome co-worker to the sidewalk hoggers, there’s always some do-gooder who needs done in. You and I might take it on the chin, but Everett gives it on the noggin with interest.

Outbursts of Everett True rarely strays from a natural formula: the pest impinges on Everett, Everett clobbers the pest. Far from repetitive, the rhythm reveals the timeless truth that the line between justice and revenge is a phantom’s dream. Away with pity for the braggart, the inconsiderate, the assuming, the imposing, the blowhards, those cruel to animals and all the other pushy clods who would turn a perfectly pleasant day into a trial.

Here are the best and brassiest Outbursts of Everett True. Many are reprinted for the first time since they were created by A. D. Condo and J. W. Raper, beginning in 1905. Outbursts of Everett True also packs the one-two punch of rare bibliographical information about the creators. Let Trevor Blake reintroduce our hero to a world ever more crowded with louts.

Here's a man who stood up.

So, Tumblr is up to its bullshit again. I am not receiving notifications, and even the little activity bubble on the app or web page isn't alerting me to anything. When I click on it, there's new stuff in there... fuck you Tumblr.

Head is progressively better. Still achey, but it is better. I've made it out to the couch today and am actually accomplishing things that I've needed to get done the last few days but couldn't. Go me! Was also able to get clarification from one of my doctors about a new medication they wanted me to start as soon as some tests came back, and so that's settled. Add another damn pill to the mix for at least the next 90 days 😕.

In other news, I have been toying with the idea of writing a Joel fic where he experiences Yule for the first time. Not Christmas or a Wiccan Yule, but a Norse Pagan Yule. I see others wanting to write various holiday stories to share their holiday traditions or be more inclusive, which got me thinking. It'll be related to the only other fic I've written and posted here. If I can figure out how to do it on the phone (or remember to go back and edit it on the laptop), I'll post a link for it. But Joel learns about Yule through the eyes of a child with the help of her aunt, his future girlfriend. Again, just toying with it.

Still not sure how I feel about the whole Pedro and F4 thing. A lot more info is out now with conflicting stories, which is typical. It's boiled down to the waiting game. No matter what, I will support him in whatever role he takes, even if I think it's a shit one. To me, from knowing Reed Richards in the comics, he's a boring, abusive asshole. Don't care he's a genius. Doesn't give him the right to be that way. Tony may be a playboy, but he isn't an abusive one. He's a jerk. He can be an asshole. But he ain't Reed. And that's where I will leave that.

I need more Joel. More Joel Fluff. In Jackson. Actual Fluff. Light on the Smut. 👀👀👀 I said what I said. I want to be held and crushed by those arms and feel safe. Intimacy is not always sex. I want to hold him and make him feel safe.

Ok, I need to get up. Mara is staring at me and the door. It's potty time.

Here she is with her Raz'um Bob, the Queen of the house. Raz calls her The Fucking Dog, but that's HER Fucking Dog, and don't you forget it!

Edited to add link for The Last of Us Drabble

If I have done it right, you should have me babbling just above a picture of Joel's dog, Drifa. I will check it, but man, Tumblr likes to make this a bitch... or I am just old 🙃. So, if this is like a few hours old and it doesn't work, let me know.

(No, I am not ready to say get off my lawn, yet. I like having people over. Fuck, I used to build and program computers and build websites from scratch, WTF?!)
