this man is fighting his own war and he has no rules, no boundaries, he doesn't flinch at arson, kidnapping, or illegal demolition. he's not loyal to a flag or a fleet or any set of ideals. he trades blood for money. he's sunshine's best friend.

Day 36: boomer tango from an aggie

[apollos-boyfriend]

my favorite dsmp arc was when sam temporarily hired purpled to act as security for the bank but since the bank wasn’t even close to done purpled just started fucking around and “accidentally” took one of boomer’s canon lives with an anvil prank and it was later revealed purpled was actually hired by hannah to get revenge on boomer for taking her wings. absolute genius storytelling, such a shame the vods got lost to the void :/

Sorry if this might be a rude question but why don’t you just make a seperate account for your nsfw fics?

not rude, it's a valid question! tbh it's a combination of a couple reasons.

i started posting anonymous dead dove batcest fics long before i had the balls to make a tumblr. at first i was content to just leave them unassociated with each other because i didn't really care about them being tied to me. i made this blog to actually show solidarity to my partner who wanted to make a sideblog for Sandman comic stuff so we could cheerlead each other and be brave together, since i've wanted to make a batcest sideblog but i've been nervous about actually having to get it going. (mal ik you're reading this go be brave and actually make your blog so i can cheerlead you damnit-) only did it dawn on me then that i should probably mention the fics i've written on the blog after like, three of them were posted anonymously. and it would've annoyed me to have half of them anonymous and half of them not, because notifications for them would've gone in different places. i could go back and take my fics off anon if i wanted to, but i can't switch the account they're on without taking them down entirely and that'd fuck over people who have them bookmarked already.

which, ties into my second reason, if i made an entire second ao3 account it'd be harder for me to see notifications, reply to stuff, and post things for both accounts because i'd have to constantly switch. and honestly i'd be terrified of accidentally posting on the wrong one on a brain fog day. posting fics is always the most tedious part of writing them for me lol. it's easier for me to stay logged into one account and have all of my stuff in one place for me and just use the anonymous collection when i feel like it. if ao3 pseuds worked like tumblr blogs, where you can't see all my side blogs but i can, i would've used pseuds, but since you can see all pseuds on an ao3, i felt it was a moot point.

and the last reason is i just feel more comfortable being anonymous on ao3 because of the rise in anti culture. on tumblr it's very easy for me to just filter that out and find the people i want to follow and block the people i don't. i don't mind getting hate, on tumblr or on ao3. but i think, for whatever reason you want to blame it on, there's been a massive boom of antis on ao3 who are very entitled about how they read on ao3. i tag extensively, but i just feel safer from getting targeted attacks if everything i write on ao3 isn't attached to one profile. if people like a fic i wrote, want to find more i always link my tumblr in the notes, but if an anti wants to get huffy with me, they can't easily track down my other things. they definitely could if they wanted to, but being anonymous on ao3 just makes me feel more secluded, in a weird way. it's like saying "if you want you can come find me but on here i'm just a weird faceless guy throwing stuff in the void". i've used ao3's anon feature a lot, actually, i used to be a hydra trash party dumpster kid back when that was in it's prime.

i also used to be vaguely popular on a different tumblr blog and my main ao3 and while i think it'd definitely be cool if i got a decent chunk of followers on this blog too, i don't really miss having fanfiction do so well i got targetted hate on all of my fics from the same people, i had my fics stolen, etc. it was really exhausting for me. i have 120+ works on ao3, not counting what's anonymous, and that level of exposure tires me, even when i use my main ao3 to post things that aren't trashy. it's just a weird feeling knowing so many people are subscribed to you on ao3 and what if you post something they won't like because you jumped fandoms again, or you're posting something niche, or you don't think it fills enough fandom tropes to be well-liked. i used to obsessively think like that, and it made me not write the things i wanted to because i cared about numbers. and i don't want to slide back into that hole. writing on anonymous is mostly to remind myself i wrote this for me, and if other people like it, they can come find me, but i don't have to perform like that anymore. if i get a really weird fucked up idea, i can write the really weird fucked up idea. at the end of the day, just makes me more comfortable! but i get it's a super confusing set up from an outsider perspective so, i really don't mind the question, thank you for asking!!

I’m screaming he’s so confused😭😭

[captainrufflebanger]

I am living for the absolutely bewildered looks my boomer neighbors are giving me as I walk my dog while wearing my "Daddy" pullover. They're too baffled to ask. They just keep looking at me with confusion.

[ferahntics]

Ok now tumblr will cooperate, apparently it doesn’t like it when I don’t do Kirby stuff for a slight change of pace

Part three of my favorite 2024 art because I have a lot and I can only post 10 things on my phone on Tumblr

Those dragons destroyed me, especially Blue I am never drawing them again

The last image is my pride and joy because I made a plaid pattern out of stained glass art (I will show how if y'all wanna know)

[rimouskis]

on the subject of museums though: I'm a FIRM believer that the smithsonians are genuinely some the greatest cultural heritage americans possess and I believe SO fervently in them being free to the public and accessible to all because they ARE our nation's history and tell (and ideally deconstruct) our national myths and help contextualize the natural world around us and show us the heights of human ingenuity and art. also my favorite of all of them is the national museum of the american indian and I personally think if you can only go to one smithsonian museum it should be that one

maybe I'm not exactly "old" yet but I'm finally at an age where my dad's friends aren't surprised that i listen to music from their generation anymore so I might as well be 45

now, there are a few "generic" things that song lyrics tend to be about; money, love, sex, drugs, fame, so on. people who act like this is anything new or anything unique to a specific genre are either undereducated, stupid, or just flat out intentionally disingenuous. now, this has a variety of effects depending on genre. these generic song topics tend to be less of a problem in genres with less of a focus on what's actually being said. classic jazz, rock, old school pop, more emphasis is placed on the musicality of it, how those lyrics are delivered, the track surrounding it, it's a small part of decently larger picture. i'm not saying songs in these genres are never made or broken by the lyrics, but a lot of the greatest songs of these genres have pretty generic, essentially filler lyrics. now, here's the thing

when people act like the generic song topics are unique to a specific genre, it's almost always rap. the thing with rap is that i think its greatest strength lays not in the musicality itself, but the content of those lyrics. which again, isn't to say that the musicality itself is irrelevant, it's just that it's typically a fundamentally less important of a piece of the puzzle. rap, in its roots, is a very political thing, very much in the realm of black power and revolutionary change and all that. raps power comes from the "realness" of the lyrics, how they speak to the world as it exists, especially in terms of speaking truth to power. the musicality is typically limited to the beat, often with little to no tonal or instrumental aspects taking the center stage. as such, those lyrics take up arguably the most important aspect of the songs, and thus these generic song topics feel, to some, to be that much more egregious.

now, personally, i don't really mind it when rap is just a beat with somebody spewing generic sludge over it. at worst, it's usually just mildly annoying, and at best the beat is still good and hopefully there's some good shit to go along with the beat. but personally, if i wanted to listen to a good beat to shake my ass to, i'd probably just listen to drum n bass or something along those lines. while my favorite rap is definitely also interesting from a pure musicality standpoint, even the most interesting rap from a musical standpoint is improved with at least interesting lyrics. just look at death grips, for example.
