#of speaking Exclusively in tags

I started writing this in the tags of someone else’s post, but then I figured I should probably just make my own:
Once a week, my best friend and I try to get together and share whatever creative projects we’ve been working on lately, and sometimes this hang-out includes a stop by our local boba tea place. We did this yesterday, and the girl behind the counter was someone I haven’t seen working there before
I don’t know what specifically about this stranger pinged my brain, but… idk. something about them was Shaped Like Friend?
But outright saying ‘Hey I like your vibe’ felt kinda weird in context of the moment — so I went looking for some element of Personal Style to compliment instead. Except… the shirt beneath the uniform apron was a nondescript grey, there was no visible jewelry, their hair was pulled back in the kind of ponytail that’s not so much ‘a style’ as ‘a way to keep Hair away from Face’ — and I wouldn’t have felt right tying the compliment to their Energy, because the energy on display was of someone who’s mentally on NPC shift waiting for the workday to end. We’ve all been there.
But... Shaped Like Friend.
So I decided to compliment their glasses — the frames were a nice and shiny silver, with a shape well-suited to their face.
And the cashier blinked like a person waking up. “Oh… thanks. I actually broke them this morning. I’m glad you couldn’t tell.”
And their smile. This person had such a nice smile. Quick and bright as a goldfinch flashing by a summer window. Truly, a person Shaped Like Friend.
ANYWAY all this to say — successfully complimenting strangers is sunlight and I’m low-key on a secret mission to try and gather as much as I can

Have you watched the musical "Spiderman: Turn of the dark"?, what is your opinion? (I love musicals, but haven't watched this one, first I want to know if it is good).
Also I would have expected that the one who would get a theatrical musical, would be DP. I bet that if the musical exist in the universe of the boys, Wade would be a little jealous. 🤭🤭
i actually haven't seen this one - i've listened to the entire soundtrack and read synopsises, and know all the lore behind it and it's a point of obsession for me but - all the cams of it are so poor quality that it's completely unwatchable for me. i get too frustrated that i have to just stop watching.
i always ask people the question, you know, if you could time travel to any moment in time, what would it be - and when they turn that question back at me, my answer, at the ready, is that i'd go see spider-man: turn off the dark, on broadway. i'd give anything to see it, honestly. i want one of the spider-man stunt-men to fall on me, so, so bad.
i have read the script, for - you know, some version of it. there was more than one version. i read one of them. and i have to say, i really like it. i think peter's actually really, really hilarious, in his socially inept sort of way. it's very fun. also bonus points for having it canon that flash would fuck a spider, even before spider-man was a thing.

hilarious. also! pretty obvious from the soundtrack but gg is immensely queer coded and honestly it reads as though he just wants to share a condo and adopt a dog with spider-man. you're a queer in tights? IM a queer in tights. lets be queers in tights together. it's so funny how he goes about trying to be peter's bff. most hilarious interaction between a villain and hero ever 10/10

[ID: A drawing of two SeaWing dragons from Wings of Fire facing each other. Tsunami has her back to the viewer and is smirking with her ear tipped forward. She has mostly medium blue scales with dark blue along her spine and snout. Some of her aqua blue bioluminescent face scalers are lit up. She is smirking at Whirpool who floats in front of her. He looks stunned by the audacity of what she is saying in aquatic. His green-yellow scales are lighter on his belly and darker on his back. He has large ears for a SeaWing, which are adorned with several large hooped earrings each. Over his left eye, he has a small golden monocle which is suspended in place by a fine metal chain attached to one earring and one eye brow ring. Between them, in glowing and floating letters, it spells 'Squidface'/ End.]
The scene that made me laugh is when Tsunami learns how to speak Aquatic and the very first thing she learns how to do is basically swear. Headcannon that squidface is the SeaWing swear that functionally means dickhead. Which I think fits Whirlpool well. I tried to make him as oily as possible. His ears normally droop under the weight of all the hoops. But he's so surprised that they're sticking up quite a bit. He also has some big ears for a SeaWing. All the better to put more hoops in. I may do a bit of a redesign at some point and give him gages because that would be sweet.
Love Tsunami. Next up is a scene that made me cry.

do u have any gen sctir fic recs? ;0
I have tried my best for you, anon. While compiling these I realised I am maybe just a little into angst (so check the tags etc.). I'm only doing one fic per author so if you like any of these it may be worth checking their profile. Recs in no particular order:
cry aloud for your mistakes, but by fikatt, one-shot. Set during chapter 145 of the webnovel where Yoojin tries to cope with his dead brother and his living brother tries to help him. (1.1k words)
the ghost of you (will never leave me) by sorbus, one-shot. Yoojin has a skill that lets him exchange all memories of a person in return for a temporary buff. It goes about as well as you'd expect. (1.4k words)
Scorched Clothes and Wish Stones by kkomaism, one-shot. Yoohyun is just a little too late to save his brother but manages to get his hands on a wish stone. (970 words)
your shadows leaving by corvidaes, one-shot. Pre-regression Yoojin contemplating whether owning a winter coat is worth the consequences and also if he's, like, lovable and such. (2.2k words)
the mind remembers by armed_teddy_bear, one-shot. Yoojin feels pain from injuries he never had in this life which is deeply annoying a mildly concerning. (1.6k words)
Fics I've mentioned before:
This series is all unrelated gen sctir fics and they are all so good. If I have to pick one I would recommend try, try (just one more time) because it is finished and stw gets a smoothie thrown at him (I've mentioned this before.) It's an au where Yoojin's wish is slightly different and he gets stuck in a timeloop and it's bad for his mental health. Physical too, but that resets with the timeloop. (28k words)
snip snip by yersina is something I've also recommended before but in my defense I went a little insane over it when it was published. It's a one-shot about Yoojin working out his gender feelings by getting a hair cut and Yoohyun trying his best to be supportive of his sibling while being slightly awkward. Almost made me cry (in a good way). (1.3k words)
Also if you want something written by me, may I direct you toward Grown out of Bounds, a gender swap thing where time and change are shown through hair which has fluff in it! But watch out. (2k words)
If anyone else has a fic rec please tell me I also always need more!

ppl need to stop going “oh but this is pokemon so” as an excuse to immediately assume it’s childish or not take characters seriously
as if this is not the same franchise that has several rivals and characters with shit parents and who’s story has complexity and tragedy if you only look into it for more than a passing glance

hot take? i think clingyduo would lose a lot from being seen as romantic. liek dont get me wrong uve had those plot bunnies as well sometimes but like.
maybe its the aromantic fantasy of a non romantic best friend, not even in a concept like a qpr, being always by your side. valuing you just as much if not even more than a romantic partner. It's you and me against the word feels so much fucking better when its kept pure the way it is yknow?

why isnt palestine - or any related tag - trending, just after a strike week & aaron bushnell’s self-immolation [bbc] [al jazeera (opinion piece)] [wikipedia] & the palestinian prime minister announcing that his government is resigning [ny times] [al jazeera] ?…… so much going on and yet palestine isn’t even in the top 10, it’s under many fandoms & hobby tags.

I swear I have read your big post regarding Peter Parker's neurodivergence and why it is best to avoid labelling him, but he definitely has a weird brain
Can't find it and feel kinda sad about it cuz I deeply related to it
i know exactly which post you're talking about and i can't find it either! i've raked through my archive, and it's just - nowhere to be seen. i think tumblr eated it (it happens.)
really, tumblr's search functionality is so so useless, i don't know what to tell you. there are plenty of keywords i can search to find it that post, but the search functionality actually just does not work!
undiagnosed audhd-addled peter parker, my darling, my light, my life, my everything.
i think peter parker's such an interesting creature to write, because a lot of people will point to a certain behaviour about him and say "this is an autistic thing, right?" but a lot of those behaviours are actually, in my head, tied to certain traumas in peter's life too.
people say "oh, the food thing, peter's a picky eater because he's autistic" and yes, absolutely. but also it's tied to his trauma with his parents.
Tumblr media
peter gets overstimulated, and yes, it's an autism thing, but also he was bitten by a radioactive spider and his senses are dialled to 11.
Tumblr media
it's a similar case i've found for myself, too – where a lot of friends i have kind of diagnose me because i have autistic traits, but actually - i'm hesitant to claim the label or pursue diagnosis because, actually, i know where these certain behaviours come from, and they come from certain traumas. there are events i can pinpoint in my life and say "yep. that's where this behaviour comes from."
so - i think there's a lot of overlap between trauma and autistic traits. the brain is very complex! i think the reason for that overlap is maybe as simple as the fact that people with autism and people with trauma are both doing the same thing - developing behaviours to protect themselves or soothe themselves. so - i think it's nice to be able to see a character like peter parker, who may or may not be autistic, but recognise behaviours in him and see yourself in him.
people who go undiagnosed for whatever reason - people who are really good at masking - so good, in fact, that they have no idea they might be on the spectrum - everyone and anyone at all can look at peter parker and recognise themselves. because i think we discredit the thought that every single brain does the same thing! develops certain behaviours in order to survive. every brain has that same software - we've just all been faced with different hardships that we need to overcome, and that's were all the differences come in.
autism is a spectrum, i guess - everyone falls into it to some degree. and i think events in your life probably push you along on it. but i don't know, i didn't study brain science. probably what i'm saying is very stupid and uninformed. of course there's brain chemistry involved. but i know people in my life living with autism and certain events in their life have exacerbated certain behaviours or made coping with it a lot more difficult. so maybe trauma is a catalyst.
#a lot of my traits have been exacerbated lately and i remember it was much easier for me before#and some of my friends have said “oh it's because you've been masking too long and now you're facing autistic burnout.”#and that made sense to me i think.#but then i found out about the stress thing. me overproducing stress hormone. and that's a very physical thing.#and that explains why i've been overstimulated more than usual lately. and why everything feels like too much.#and i wonder how many of these traits of mine are going to subside once i have lamar removed#and it makes me wonder a lot of things. and it's so weird how much your brain is tied to your biology.#i wonder how much i'll change. i wonder how i'll feel. i wonder if i'll still feel like me. i wonder how much me is me right now.#and how much of me is being altered by weird freaky hormones. who am i?? who will i be??#i'm almost looking at this as like. a superhero origin story of some sort. like this is my spider-bite moment. maybe.#will i be different? will i cope with things differently?? now that my body isn't fighting something anymore??#maybe i'll be normal. i don't know. i don't know.#i don't know what it'll mean for me.#but all of these things mean i relate to peter parker in a certain kind of way#i don't think you have to be diagnosed with autism to recognise and empathise with those traits i think#i think everyone can see themselves in peter. and i think that's the benefit of having characters that aren't diagnosed.#because there's so much overlap in the human experience. and certain feelings aren't exclusive to just one group of people.#peter has such a rich identity actually. it's an autistic thing. it's a queer thing. it's a jewish thing. it's a trauma thing.#there are so many overlapping parts of peter's identity that inform who he is and how he behaves and it's never just one thing.#it's a product of all of his things.#just like me! just like everyone.#so me? i guess i can be a million things. you can explain what i am in a million different ways.#a hundred different psychologists can all come up with different ways to explain why i be the way i be.#i don't think it's something that can be simplified.#sorry wow. i'm really going off here in the tags.#i hope people don't think i'm stupid. i don't know brain science. i'm just philosophising as usual.#sci speaks

Up until a few years ago, I constructed a lot of my morals and opinions around what famous people I looked up to - especially musicians - were saying and doing. A very bad idea in retrospect.
well I'm happy to report I'm over that and moved on to "I wonder what Tumblr user @gaynfl who I have exchanged 10 words with would think about this" even though they hold no power over me and it's shit like. Deciding which sort of skirt some straight guy would wear if he was a lesbian
