#reblogging on the right account this time so things don't get cluttered on my other account jagnlakj

jfglbsjrgnl-- the mystery is that Bubba took them to an escape room in hopes they'd work together and slowly start to get along-

Manny has hid most of the clues to get on everyone's nerves (it's working)

Dumba succeeds in guessing one of the puzzles but it was one that Manny already solved and hid the resulting clue.

Badass is either trying to coax Revived out of his corner with snacks he snuck in or bugging the hell out of Manny

Revived is done with everyone's shit and wants to go back to his room but can't until the puzzles are all solved. So he just stays in the corner away from everyone.

Selfish is only helping Bubba out because the faster they get this over with, the faster he can stop associating with everyone there

Clay is probably trying to keep Tusker from getting stepped on in the scuffle of everything

And Tusker? Tusker is shnoozin.

Into The Bubba-verse??? perhaps--

SelfishCritters Bubba, Revived Bubba, and Tusker Tiredon belong to @smilingcrittersthingig!

Dumba Dumbaphant belongs to @eggritos!

Clay Paclayderm belongs to funny-critter-blog! (Won't let me @ them?)

Bubba Badass belongs to @blues-of-randomness!

Transparent versions of each of them (Manny and Badass share one due to their pose) under cut

Roleplay Rules

Hi there and welcome to my blog! Please keep in mind the following rules, when interacting with me. If you have any questions, feel free to ask!

General Information

This account has 3 different functions:

OOC Posts and Reblogs

Asks/Interactions/Reblogs/Posts in character

Roleplaying Semi-Lit/Lit/Novella

I will tag each of these functions accordingly. Keep i mind that my older posts (before 12.05.2024) have not undergone this change and may thus not have these tags.

OOC Posts and Reblogs

As the name suggests, this is just me having fun sharing memes, fanart, fanfictions and so on. These posts will be tagged as #Mod speaks and #Mod reblogs. If interacting with people via comments, I also use //mod to clarify who's speaking, as well as )) at the end of my messages in DMs. If you want to ask me a question/make a request for me personally, please address we with "Mod", so I know whom you're targeting.

In Character Interactions

A big part of this blog are my RP interactions with Tumblr users or other RP accounts in character. You will find a lot of One-Liner-Style Roleplay Posts on here. Character reactions will always be tagged with #Sasori RP. Additionally, all my answers/reblogs/posts in character will be written in red font.

As of now, there are no limitations to Asks. You can ask a question or hop straight into RP if you want. Keep in mind though, that if you wish to start a longterm RP, I'd prefer you to contact me via DMs, so that our back and forth doesn't clutter my feed for an extended period of time.

Feel free to tag me on any posts you'd like Sasori's reaction to.

The short-term interactions are open for anyone to reblog and interact with.

Don't forget, that Sasori is an impatient, rarely polite rogue who turns people into puppets for fun. He'll likely not be nice.

If I don't reply to you right away, that can include the following reasons: I haven't seen it yet, I need to think of a good reply (I value accuracy), I'm too busy with life rn, or I may have overread it. Please never assume I ignore you on purpose or out of malicious intent. I will get to you, I promise.

Roleplaying Semi-Lit/Lit/Novella

If you're interested in longterm RP, please contact me via DMs or send me an Ask, so that I can contact you. I'll discuss the plot and ideas with you, exchange requirements and will decide eventually, if I'm down or not. I don't have a lot of time, therefore I don't want to commit to too many Roleplays at once. I also only commit to Roleplays, that personally inspire me. For everything else, such as RPs that aren't fully my cup of tea, for crack interactions and similar things, I offer the short-term interactions I mentioned above.

As of now, this committed type of RP will be tagged as #Longterm RP for the time being. Perhaps I will come up with a better solution in the future. Despite it being RP, it will not be coloured in the before mentioned font colour, so as to increase the readability of long walls of text.

The Long-Term Roleplays are closed threads. Only the person whom I've agreed to RP with, is allowed to reblog the posts.

General Rules

Everyone is welcome on my blog. Regardless of gender, sexuality, ethnicity and age. Keep in mind though, that this blog may contain content for mature audiences, such as violence, cursing, sex and occasional (written) gore. I will try my best to tag sensitive posts as mature.

-> I know it can be annoying that all the fun accounts are minors DNI, so I try to keep this blog as open as possible, so that people under 18 get the chance to ask their favourite character questions as well. Be aware though, that I also post mature content. Interaction at your own risk.

I value open communication. If something is making you uncomfortable or upset, please tell me. We can then talk things out and work out a solution.

I'm not available for any hate speeches/angry rants/passive aggressiveness etc. If you try to involve me in any of these things, regardless of whether it is directed towards me, my friends or a stranger, I will block you. This blog is a safe space. If you have something important to share, you can do so in a constructive manner.

That said, for all those who have heard of the Anon Drama of the past few months: I am no longer involved with the people in question. I have cut contact with them for my wellbeing and sanity and do not want to be associated with them anymore. If you have questions on the topic, please contact me privately, I'll gladly give you a heads-up. Do not send me updates, screenshots or posts about things that may or may not have been said about me. I have moved on. Should you not have heard about the Anon Drama, thank your guardian angel and ignore this point.

I do not do Longterm RPs with OCs at the moment. That may change in the future. OCs are however welcome to send me Asks and make reblogs for me to react to in character.

-> Update: I'm open for OC RPs now

Keep in mind that me and my characters are two separate people. Their actions and beliefs do not equal my own, neither do I hold grudges against anyone whom my characters may have insulted.

Lastly, have fun! This blog is meant to bring joy to both me and all those who love Sasori, so don't hesitate to interact. I love each and every question I receive and I am thankful for everyone who allows me to indulge in some fun and games with my favourite characters.

That's all from me for now! Thank you for reading my rules. I wish you all a lovely day and much fun with this blog.

Problem

Okay I got a problem and I'm sure some of the other writers on here can agree. I know I've covered this briefly before and I know @lay-z is also pretty passionate about this topic but its the topic of silent readers or just simply liking a post here on Tumblr

I know Tumblr is weird, it has its own system of giving reach. It's not like twitter or Instagram where likes bring your post further, in truth likes don't do anything. In the early days of Tumblr, we didn't even have the like system, the like system was made as sort of a bookmark on a post instead of actually giving reach.

The ways to support your favourite writers is reblogging actually, reblogging brings a writer to more people, more people means more reach and the more that writer will wanna produce more work like that. I know it sounds greedy and trust me, we writers are greedy for the reach but I believe we have a right to be. I only have 250 followers are here that I've gained since early June I believe, my old account I had somewhere close to 1200? And even with that bigger follower pool, I was still struggling to bring new readers

You may be thinking though "my blog isn't made for writing, that's why I don't reblog" and hey that's fine. I get it, you don't wanna clutter your blog with stuff that doesn't fit but you know what you can do then? You can comment on the post, commenting also gives feedback because commenting brings notes, notes bring reach, reach brings more feedback which writers are starving for

Here's one thing that upsets me more though; silent readers. People who read your stuff yet don't react at all. Especially when these silent readers sneak into my dms and say how much they love me and my work. If that was true, why aren't you reacting on it?

People try to excuse silent readers too much I believe, they aren't something that should be praised because you know what message that sends? That not reacting is okay. It's not, it makes so many writers leave this platform. Why would I writer stay here on Tumblr where they are flooded by silent readers who give zero reach or feedback when they can go to AO3 where readers are more generous. The only reason I haven't fled Tumblr yet is that I enjoy writing on it and how I can organise my work but with the lakc of reach lately, it's getting tempting to leave

True I write for my own enjoyment but I also write for feedback and reach, I love seeing people love the work I put hours sometimes days in. Silent readers just don't do that, they swoop in, take, and leave nothing behind.

If someone made you really good food, are you just gonna finish and leave? No you're gonna thank you gave you food and tell them how good it was, why is it different for writers on here? We're people who put our time to write stuff for your enjoyment

Respect your writers and artists, respect the people who put hours and days into your enjoyment

Unpopular Opinion Flame Meme

As promised, all the remaining Flame asks in one single post!

Gonna place it under a cut because it's loooonngg. Be warned, it has a few sensitive topics like pro-shipping.

~~~

When I was a dumb teen (and very new to the also then very new world of the internet), I absolutely didn't understand self-inserts; it was such a mary sue/gary stue sort of thing to me back then.

This mindset luckily changed when I rolled into my twenties and also got to learn more about how fandoms and whatnot work. As said, the internet was so new and a rarity in households then, my world was tiny during my teen years; I was very uninformed. While I personally don't feel any deep/real attraction to fictional characters, as in wishing they were real so I could date/marry them, I can form an understanding towards the people who do.

I won't lie though... People who *heavily* (romantically/sexually/emotionally) rely on a fictional character to be able to function in the real world do make me a little uncomfortable but I won't chastise them for it. Stuff's complicated, life can suck hard for a lot of us, and you don't really control who or what you like on such levels. ~~~

Uff, touchy subject right there. I'm all for the 'ship and let ship' vibe of pro-shippers, I am, it's what pro-shipping means and stands for. But I personally draw lines when minors get involved with an adult in a ship, fictional or not. Those are the type of ships I can't ever support. It doesn't feel right. But that's me, this is a personal issue and gripe.

That said, I am not going to scream at people who do ship that sorta stuff with the whole 'DO NOT INTERACT' entitled bullshit some people pull in places. You aren't responsible for what *I* view online; I am. It's my own responsibility. And the same goes for everyone else; while I tag a lot already, I am NOT responsible for what you view online. You have to mediate that yourself, always. For instance, I don't go through EVERY account that follows me, leaves a like/favorite or leaves a comment to *check* if they interact with the things I don't approve of. That's a stupid thing to do, that's like opening up your own wounds and willingly pour salt into them. If I do check someone's account (because their avatar looks cute or the previewed art on their account looks nice) and I find stuff on there I don't approve of, I back out and leave it at that. If what I see is really bad, I might mute.

I do understand that some people feel the need to mention DNIs as a warning, for their own well-being. I very often have an understanding for it too; I give all the thumbs-ups to people that have DNIs but don't publicly go on a rampage or throw a public tantrum when someone does break their set DNIs. It's those who do and whine about it ALL THE DAMN TIME and keep aggresively shoving the DNIs in people's faces that get on my nerves (aka, the entitled ones). PS: Not everyone who leaves a Like on your art also checks your profile or carrd; there's a high chance they saw the art pass by on their feed, left a Like and then carried on with living/browsing. Not everyone is purposedly out to get you or make you feel miserable.

Whew, went on a rant there. Tl;dr version: Ship and let ship. Do allow me to not enjoy/support certain ships and I'll gladly return the same respect to you. ~~~

*snerk* Everything about me is an unpopular opinion.

(I'm sure that's an unpopular opinion in itself.) ~~~

I never managed to develop an interest in Minecraft and well, I am very okay with that. In turn, I don't understand the hype behind Dream SMP and Technoblade and all the other characters that are popular lately but then i also don't take the time or have the want to look into it. As long as people continue to respect the real people behind these characters and don't get all creepy with it all, it's fine.

People seem to have fun with it but it's not for me. ~~~

He's a short rude shit that I f*cking love to bits and love to play as or write for (and draw) but holy shit... how did he ever garner all this attention?? Little human-hating cyclops feker doesn't deserve it.

¦D ~~~

The last one and it's about Tumblr. Ho boy xDD

Okay, so, I like this place well enough but I really liked it more when NSFW was still allowed. I keep mentioning it from time to time but it's hard to find another place to post NSFW that has an active userbase and a good tagging system. Tumblr was just right for it (back then!)

I also don't like to make too many reblogs just to respond back to someone else's reblog (with added commentary) of a post. It makes stuff look so cluttered. For years, I've been waiting for a better comment thread function for Tumblr blog posts to easier interact with people but eh... I'm not going to hold my breath anymore for such a feature.

[john-cave]

First, I just wanted to repost a couple documentary-type shots from the '70s that I found on another tumblr...

I'd usually do a proper re-blog, but I don't have my marbles together right now.

I just really like the few dozen photos I've looked at so far. Kind of reminds me of where I grew up. Looking at the pictures was very comforting. Now that I really think about it, I'd love to live in a predominantly black neighborhood again. Anyhow, I really needed the comfort for some reason.

Meanwhile, non sequiturs...

I've been trying to figure out a lot of blog stuff for weeks and weeks now. Some if it's just me and the difficulty I've always had making anything on the web. Anything! Ever!

But now I have to pick from like five options what two blogs to continue or start from scratch. AND what platform? I'm seriously leaning toward twitter! of all things. I never would have thought.

I'm completely undisciplined about blogging (and any other online presence or whatever. I start anything... a facebook page, something as basic as a folder on my phone or PC... a twitter account intended for very few topics... anything I start sooner or later goes awry. A mess. Cluttered, disorganized, sidetracked, no focus whatsoever, no direction. And it's all the same with my blogs. I get distracted by so many topics. I just end up reblogging whatever drifts in front of me.

Oh, shiny! Oh interesting! Oh compelling! Oh important! Relevant to the immediate events in the world! Controversial! Oh, pretty! Oh, beautiful art! Oh humorous story, video, comic, screenshot! Everything all the time... nausea. Disappointment. Failure. Abandonment. Dejection. Confusion. Self-doubt. Degenerated motivation. No locus.

So, what blogs do I start over with? What do I want to ACCOMPLISH with them? The purpose. The most recent one (not here) was supposed to focused on art of a certain slant that could probably get flagged on here, so I didn't put it here. But I started to lose the focus this week. I started thinking, "But I should include art that's not going to get targeted... it's not fair if I ignore tons of art out there just because it has no controversy."

See what I gotta deal with in my brains? That's just a tiny sample.

But, heck, I'm really focused on censorship! So... heck! I should stick with it. That blog can post current art, historical art, articles or other content about censorship and other critical matters around art, freedom of expression, opposing narrow-mindedness, etc. As long as it's about art that faces troubles. If the art doesn't have value, then I'll have to decide what side to take, call it moot, or don't say nothing.

Okay, done, right? I hope.

That's my big interest right now, so whatever other blog (or whatever) I invest my time into could just be for my own benefit. But I have no interest in the random miscellaneous messes my blogs turn into. No more re-blogging, re-posting, please. I can't spend time re-circulating what's already circulating just fine without me. It could be something adjacent to censorship.

#how do I do hashtags? #I don't see it,
