#i genuinely cannot imagine watching op and disliking usopp#i think some of you are just here for powerscaling and masculine-wish-fulfillment fantasys.#and thats why you are confused about his role in the story#usopp is like... top 3 most important characters narratively#id even bet top 2#thematically (tags via op)
Another reason ppl hate usopp is because they are uncomfortable with characters having realistic flaws

small rant/thought spew about the whole zhou and zoo thing once again:
i think i said this in my post/rant yesterday about the whole zhou and zoo thing but i really doubt that every single person who called zhou 'zoo' in the grill the grid video is doing it out of endearment as a cute nickname lol. i'm not gonna name names in case if this somehow breaks out of containment but i rly doubt that certain ppl who 1) don't seem to be close to guanyu afaik and 2) have a history of being 'problematic' are calling him zoo out of endearment lol. but like i said before i could be cynical and just seeing a microaggression when there isn't one. and i will admit that i didn't know about it supposedly being a nickname from lance, so i do appreciate that lance fans are trying to correct that and defend their guy.
(also i want to say that: it's interesting to me that the majority of people, if not everyone, that i *know* for certain who are friendly with guanyu pronounced zhou as 'joe' instead of 'zoo' lol)
but i'm also seeing things about how it's disrespectful to call him 'guanyu' instead of just 'zhou' in chinese, and it's clear that they don't know chinese because that just isn't the case lol. in chinese, it's fine to call him 'guanyu' (especially if the person talking is older than him. if younger then it's better to be a little more formal but still acceptable if they're friendly) but you would never call him just 'zhou'. it's either full name 'zhou guanyu' or 'guanyu' or 'zhou *insert honourific here*' (like mr. zhou, teacher zhou or zhou-ge (ge is short for older brother)) but never just 'zhou'. i think people have a tendency to overthink about the fact that the surname is said before the given name, and then therefore everyone is just called by their last name instead of their given name since it's said first when that's not accurate lol.
i know guanyu prefers being called 'zhou' in english commentary, and it's perfectly fine to call him just 'zhou' in english ofc, since people refer to other drivers by only their last names all the time. but i suspect the reasoning behind guanyu wanting to be called 'zhou' is that it's more that it's easier for english speaking people to say than 'guanyu' especially since the 'yu' sound is not one that is in english. although here we are having discourse about his name 2-3 years later after he's joined f1 so maybe it's not that easy ~_~
#this post is literally just me letting my thoughts out so it's not super organized. idk i don't mean this to bash anyone or any fanbase#i'm just seeing things that are not accurate and i'm just like oh boy. and tbh my post ytd was only meant for me to vent and i wasn't#expecting ppl to reblog it tbh lol but in the end i'm not unhappy about it. and it's also on me for tagging it so it could be found#and interacted w. and i think both things can be true at the same time like ppl like lance can call guanyu 'zoo' as a fun nickname and some#ppl r also just ignorant about it as well. which is unfortunate lol. also i think some ppl just don't understand how chinese works as#a language which is fine bc most ppl aren't familiar w it. but it's a problem when ppl are saying things that don't actually apply

mcd aaron as a character frustrates me SO MUCH BC HES A GOOD CHARACTER IN THEORY BUT KNOWING HOW HE ENDS UP,,, WHAT HE ENDS UP BEING IS SO AHGHHH
i REALLY hate how they dumb down the characters in mystreet, like. i understand that mystreet is SUPPOSED to be a lihht hearted slice of life (at least, at the beginning. i don’t even wanna TOUCH myst s4-6) but REGARDLESS THE FACT THAT SO MANY CHARACTERS GET DUMBED DOWN IS SO FRUSTRATING BC THEYRE SO GOOD IN MCD.
katelyn, garroth, laurance, aaron,, aaron is especially frustrating bc i REALLY don’t like aarmau. i never have, and the fact that it essentially DOMINATES mcd/myst at a certain point is annoying. also the fact that he’s so mysterious and cryptic in mcd is SO COOL but then he only turns out to be some guy. GOD. i hate this stupid show.
then again i am only going off of what i remember, which is from when the episodes originally came out YEARS ago. i could toootally be wrong about a lot of stuff since im nowhere NEAR being done with mcd but still its nice to vent (currently on s2 ep24 as of me writing this)
#lowkey i dont wanna tag this post w stuff that will reach wider audiences bc rlly its just me venting but#ughhh idk. dont rb? i dont think this is reblog worthy in the slightest lol i just need to SCREAM#and like i said i could be wrong about SOOO many things but who cares its my mcd side acc i can do whatever and being wrong is fine lmao#its not like im spreading misinfo or anything bc i KNOW its true lol#anyway.#idk how many ppl read my tags but this doesnt rlly deserve a post of its own#i dont think ill be continuing the chibis as much as id love to lol#the zoeymau post got SO much attention and im forever grateful for that but im starting school soon and wont have time to draw for a while#i’ll still post obviously lol im not planning on going on hiatus again i promise#but idk i cant promise to post EVERYDAY bc homework n shit lol. also i dont always feel like watching mcd bc SHITS DRAINING AS HELL and also#i tear up every few mins bc of nostalgia LMFAOOO okay ill shut up now haha#ashe.txt

MARK CHASITY THOUGHTS !!
thank you @biscuits-spooky-diner [ sorry for the tag again lol ] for reminding me w ur reblog i went fucking bananas w this LMAO
a lot of these are heavily headcanon-centric and i wanna preface that before i get into it bc i know some people may not agree!! thats fine!! i just like thinking these silly lil things
thoughts below the cut because its a Lot and i may add to this but idk?? shrugs we'll see
━◦○◦━◦○◦━
starting off strong, i really am a sucker for the 'two [ or more ] characters that one actor/actress plays are related on some level' concept and i believe mark and duke are cousins bc CAN U IMAGINEE
theyre cousins on their moms sides but their moms dont really get along due to differing views and ways of parenting, but mark and duke are pretty close. theyre each others favourite cousin
━◦○◦━◦○◦━
mark and karen are both gay in opposite directions but they were very close friends growing up due to overlapping social groups (their parents, church groups, most likely abstinence camp goers, etc), and because of their respective families and being unable to be true to themselves, they got married and had grace very early after they graduated highschool
mark loves karen very much, but purely platonically. he is the type to tease her, sometimes poke fun at her, and he respects her immensely! they both work insanely well as a duo, and they hold down the fort of their picket fence home extremely well, but they are not in love
he n karen live a very domestic life, they can even be pretty physically affectionate at times [ hugs, cuddling, kisses to the head, cheeks, hands even ] and share quick 'i love you's before separating for the day, but something about it was always just slightly askew from romantic love and affection
━◦○◦━◦○◦━
circling back to highschool, mark and ted definitely had a secret on-again-off-again relationship for at least a few months to a year.
they inevitably fell out because ted was sick and tired of being kept as a secret [ i have so so many thoughts about the spankoffskis too dont get me started on that tho ] and ended up giving mark an ultimatum: either choose to stay with ted and become public, or choose his family and run away from himself
i think its clear which mark chose. they dont talk much anymore
━◦○◦━◦○◦━
his middle name is anthony :33 no reason for this i just think it fits. mark anthony chasity :3333
he is a very sensitive man! growing up was extremely hard for him between an overbearing and coddling mother, and a hardassed and pushy father, and being heavily sheltered on top of it all
he wasnt shown a lot of genuine love and affection growing up (his mother would lovebomb him, his father didnt believe he needed it, and they were both pretty strict considering he was their only child) and he tries to do better with grace but still ends up unintentionally repeating cycles out of wanting to keep her 'safe'
he truly does love his daughter, he loves grace s o fucking much, but he n karen didnt have many positive role models to base themselves off of parenting-wise, therefore carrying a lot of fabricated truth into their relationships both separately and together with grace
━◦○◦━◦○◦━
mark has an architecture degree and he would love to be an actual architect but alas. realty was what he could get into
hes the one in charge of most of the chasity homes interior decoration! he has an eye for colours n specifically he really enjoys pastels, but his favourite colour overall is actually green
━◦○◦━◦○◦━
MARK CHASITY IS THE MARK FROM WORKIN BOYS [ getting forcefully pulled off stage, gripping the mic ] PLEASE P[LEASE JUSR HEAR ME OUT
before mark began working in realty, he worked at a bank. golden parachutes bank [ 'golden parachutes' is something mentioned in show stoppin number w like no context?? this concept is my gfs idea tho ] [ **I WAS INFORMED ITS A BUSINESS TERM but atp i feel like hatchetfield Would have a bank named after a business term lmfao ]
mark met greg through duke when he was about 20 or so [ I ALSO FIRMLYY BELIEVE THE GREG FROM WORKIN BOYS IS MAXS DAD BUT MY JÄGERMAN FAMILY TREE IS A WHOOOLEE OTHER CAN OF WORMS ], began seeing him, and greg was the one to bring mark into the polycule around 23-24
all of them worked at the bank! henry hidgens was one of the younger executives there
HIS N HENRYS DYNAMIC SPECIFICALLY was never sexual i believe, but it wasnt healthy overall because there was a power imbalance between them, and i also believe mark wouldve been one of the younger men in the polycule
henry and mark had a very 'wolf and lamb' dynamic, mark being perceived and treated as 'innocent' due to how he carries himself and how he was raised, and henry sometimes doing specific things to intimidate and even scare mark
all in all things do not go well. yeah. i am Not gonna get too deep into that bc it delves into pure indulgent au headcanon bullshit [ this entire post rlly lol ] but to shorten it: i believe mark to be a sole survivor of the workin boys incident in some aus and after the deaths of the boys he quits the banking job n goes into realty god bles
━◦○◦━◦○◦━
coughs. anyway. he really likes historical art and i believe mark n grace are so similar in how theyre both So abnormal about historical things [ graces general interest and infatuation w the waylon place and its history that she basically infodumps about in npmd ]
he would infodump about historical pieces and their stories to anyone that would listen, which is usually his wife or daughter
SPEAKING of historical art n bringing back his architecture degree, when grace was around 10 mark built her an exactly-to-scale miniature replica of the waylon place as a dollhouse, down to the scaffolding, lighting, wall decor, etc
it took him years and was a complete surprise. it is his favourite and most pride-inducing project to date, even more bc it was for his baby
#dino talks mark chasity#im losing my mind#truly madly deeply#im so abnormal abt him#mark chasity#grace chasity#karen chasity#duke keane#ted spankoffski#holy bastard#henry hidgens#starkid workin boys#workin boys#starkid#starkid nerdy prudes must die#starkid npmd#nerdy prudes must die#npmd#hatchetfield#hatchetverse#starkid black friday#starkid bf#black friday#starkid the guy who didn't like musicals#starkid tgwdlm#the guy who didn't like musicals#tgwdlm

What did Sarah Z do ?
tbc my beef w her is not a beef its just a matter of personal preference n not liking the two (2) vids ive seen from her . i dont like that she does tumblr summaries with the vibe of and aren't these people crazy. arent these people cringe. couldnt be me. i just have a tumblr accoutn and rubber neck them. i remember her johnlock vid got flack from ppl involved in tjlc for being inaccurate. and i remember a lot of ppl i follow preemptively blocking her when she announced she was making a destiel vid based on the way she would yoink tumblr posts for her vid without asking you if it was ok to like. put your post on blast to 2 million views while she implied it was embarrassing and cringe. um and then the destiel vid she made didn't live up to my standards of accuracy and completeness . in my memory she actively reached out to someone for their recollection of johnlock the cultural moment and did no such thing for destiel just based it on what was hitting the top posts part of the destiel tag in november of 2020. thats all. went back to look for my posts abt it at the time and here's one sample.
havent finished the vid yet but i think there are more points to be made about parasocialism – she mentions that it was easy for fans to interact with creators/cast because of the simultaneous rise of social media/conventions/the cultural shift where shipping wasn’t taboo, but i think there’s definitely something to be said about how the creators were a large part of encouraging that. they were using fan inserts back in season 4. they Knew what was going on in fan spaces to the point where they referenced names of real bnfs, and they made the decision to goad and wink and play it up instead of adhering to the norm of looking the other way. like. there is a parasocialism there to be sure, but no one MADE them say the words wincest and destiel and sastiel on the show. creators/writers played a fairly significant part in crafting the fan environment that was crafted. imo
and now im mad again lmao bc you cannot talk about fans being parasocial and then not say and isn't it FUCKED that eric kripke name dropped real forum mods and forum members as stupid and cringe in his television show. oh and she was a chronic name searcher. she was always reblogging untagged posts abt her to argue with somebody. and they werent like. [accusation] [response saying that's not true] it was like. harmless disagreement. sarah getting their ass with her much larger following, but to be clear my main gripe is i think i know more about destiel than you do genius. which is petty but arguably valid criticism of someone doing a literal destiel retrospective and mocking it the whole time
#i saw a tweet the other day post hbomb that was like.#yeah internet historian made a shitty dashcon video where he made fun of sjws and didnt respect peoples identities and was generally shitty#but sarah's dashcon vid takes the exact same tone she just DOES believe in neopronouns.#which i cant speak to bc i havent watched it. but i believe it based on what i have seen.#ask#anonymous

Maybe saying this on my 18 follower art sideblog is silly, but I want to offer some gentle pushback on the sentiment that's been going around re: notes on art and lack of engagement.
TL;DR make it your practice to be the person who rbs art with nice tags and you can build a community of likeminded folks
There are myriad reasons why online comment culture has shifted, I'm not gonna waste time pinning that stuff down, bc it's actually immaterial to my perspective, which is:
You can find or create a community of people who will lift up your art. But it requires that you participate in the culture you want to see more of.
I had been a lurker on this site for a decade. I held back participating in discussions, creating or sharing art, engaging directly with anyone outside of following blogs and rbing posts without commentary. And during that time, I made no connections, no friends, built no community.
I was afraid of scrutiny. I have felt the humiliating lurch of earnest engagement turning to dread and exposure and a deep regret of allowing myself to be vulnerable. I pulled up the ladder behind me so I would never have to hear the slightest dismissal or repulsion or ridicule from others. In so doing I also cut myself off from praise, understanding or connection. If no one gets a chance to let me down, then it's as though they're holding me up, right? Wrong!!!
I paid good money for a therapist to help me work out the lie there. The realization that I felt isolated and misunderstood because I never gave people the opportunity to show up for me was so hard to grasp. How could my safety net be the cause of my profound loneliness? But it is true. The people in my life couldn't disappoint me, but they also couldn't help me or support me or really love me the way I needed.
Opening myself up to disappointment has been a long, tough road (and goodness knows I'm not ready to let my parents let me down (again) yet). But my relationships are strengthening. My sense of identity is more stable. I am not inconsolably lonely deep in my heart anymore. Because it turns out people do show up when you give them the opportunity.
Not every time. Not every person. But enough of the time that it builds resilience. Every time I reach out and someone reaches back, I get a little braver. I trust a little more.
To bring this back around to online culture and community: I started receiving interest (and notes) after I started showing interest in others. Once again it turns out that people want to turn up for you, but you must give them the opportunity. This means making yourself vulnerable. It means taking the first step.
If you want a community, a group of people who interact w a certain set of values, you have to demonstrate it. Live those values. This is how we create culture. We choose what behavior we want to encourage and we set an example. This is as true in a workplace or a family as it is for tumblr or ao3. If your boss puts up a sign that says "we see mistakes as a chance to learn" but they punish people when they mess up, that's just words on the wall. If they accept errors graciously, if they work to suss out the root of the problem to resolve it, if they are open about their own mistakes, that is the culture.
So if we want to see more reblogs, but not just that, real engagement and chances for connection, then it starts with you.
Here's what I do that has helped me make friends and spark genuine interest in my work;
Reblog LOW NOTE art as much as, if not more than, posts with thousands of notes. Feel proud to give someone the first note on their work!
Incorporate leaving nice tags into my gratitude practice (it is a form of mindfulness! noticing what specifically draws me to art I rb both engages me more deeply with the work and makes my own art better)
Queue up several art posts from the same artist (people notice when you are consistently in their notes!)
Participate in art events like artfight, various -tobers, other challenges (as with making friends anywhere, repeated exposure leads to familiarity and chances for connection!)
Follow people back or even initiate following blogs who interact with your posts (do not approach this with a f4f mentality, only follow people you actually want to hear more from)
Set up post notifications for portfolio style art blogs (ie sideblogs exclusively for original content) so you keep up w your network/mutuals even if you're offline when they post
Low key notice what the people engaging with you like most about your work and consider expanding on those ideas. This is not about "tailor your work to an audience" it's about thinking, "so-and-so left feral tags on my post about this oc so I'll do my practice sketches of them" or "people seem interested in this storyline so let me feed off that enthusiasm and develop it more"
Don't get hung up on it when individuals don't reciprocate. Assume good faith. You never know what is draining someone's energy. Remember that you are offering a gift, your time and energy yes, but also the chance for someone to show up for you too. If it starts to feel like an obligation, reassess where you're putting that energy, but don't be afraid to be generous.
This has worked wonderfully for me. I went from a person scrolling longingly past posts about beloved mutual culture, not quite believing it could really be like that, to a person who happily gets 3 notes on my former flop posts and posts reblog bait for my besties and reblogs the bait they post for me :)
Apparently I had a lot to say! I kinda hope this doesn't break containment but if it does, please be niceys. I understand if this mindset is not available to you bc of social trauma, depression/anxiety, disability, mental illness or whatever else but please avoid venting that on this post. I love you and I hope you can get here someday, because you're worth it. In the meantime, try to be gentle with yourself and others. xoxo

saw this post on my dash (the person who put it there reblogged a version dunking on op for being a t//erf don't worry) and I was gonna say all this in the tags but it got long so I'm gonna say it here
the thing that drives me insane about this argument is that even if it were true.... so what? like the main impact of top surgery & hysterectomies are going to be hormonal imbalances which can be dealt with by that person and their doctor, but even IF it had some dastardly evil harmful horrible awful impact on that person's health... that is just. being an adult human being. hell, just being a human in general bc kids and teenagers also make choices that physically or mentally harm them all the time and that's just part of life and growing up
but like. part of being a person with autonomy is being ALLOWED to do things that might negatively impact your health or life. even if getting top surgery was a one way ticket to excruciating horrible pain (it's not) that would still be someone's personal decision to make
you can easily see this all the time in other decisions people make. people decide to drink themselves sick every day and it's not illegal. people decide to smoke multiple packs of cigarettes every day and it's not illegal. people decide to go out in the sun without sunscreen every day and it's not illegal. and of course a million other decisions that lead to physical or mental harm, but I'm focusing on physical health here bc that's the context.
but if you think that "women" are allowed to make any decision in the world with their health and bodies even if it's negative (drinking, smoking, drugs, lack of sunscreen, abortions (although this is not negative it has to do w health), eating "poorly" or rarely eating or dieting, hell even staying up all night or forgetting to take their meds or letting their chronic illnesses go untreated or literally a million little health decisions we all make every day).... and yet you draw the line at us deciding to get rid of our breasts or uteruses? I don't think you really care all that much about "women's" health and autonomy in any way that's productive.
like idk yall claim to see "women" as full people but god for fucking bid the vagina havers make their own decisions about our own bodies. we are full people too allowed to make whatever the hell decisions we want even if it's not a ticket to 100% health. who gives a shit.
#like can we talk about the influences of these things and if doctors are practicing informed consent? sure#but what we aren't going to do is pretend that dealing w hormonal imbalances is the worst possible thing ever#and that even if it were it should barr someone from making that decision#like babe I promise the daily diet coke I consume is worse for my body than top surgery was

response to tags time this got pretty long but if you reblogged my limbus status poll i answered here :)
mhm lmaoooo. idk i somewhattt enjoy charge they are cool but it is kindaaaaa gets boring sometimes. i am honestly not too sure. i thinkkk i recall seeing a team built around suncliff i thinkkk it was rupture sinking but idk i havent looked at his kit. BURNNNNN real asffff burn is fun i did a silly run with them. i wish i had the liu 000 ids. ooo liu yisang sound cool. @melonisopod
real asf! mhmhm real i love sinking, boat trio is fun.
FUCKKK YEAHHH real asf. tremor is cool, i havent gotten the chance to use the silly tremors but i liked tremor before it was cool. idk i like the silly bursting and raising stagger is neat. "oh oh just do damageee you will stagger them faster" :( it is fun (silly). cant fucking wait to build the tremor team of my dreams when the event drops. rip charge lmaoo, it is kinda just base doesnt stand out. @gachabastard
real as fuck i also rotate when doing md but idk i enjoy some more than others plus i cant build them all
FUCKK YEAHHHH WOOO SINKINGGG. this is true! the linton gregor is very nice in sinking teams too but yeah that is the core. g greg and nclair is kinda silly slots lmao but real asf. @wavesofstatic07
Real as fuckkkk. true! yeah maybe i was harsh on charge it is pretty fun and i like w ryo and don a lot. ONFGGGG i honestly cant wait for the charge renaissance (and the intervalio in general i am so curious what they are cooking)(no fucking way we go ON a w train right?). @runn1ngn0se
[this one was later but moved up bc it is relevent to above]
mhmhm sinking is very nice i love regular skills doing 100+ dmg a coin andddd sinking deluge getting 9000. but hmhmhmhm charge tremor is big? very neat hmhmhmhm see above but rose meur hmhmhm realrealreallll. burn is also cool! mhm!
Very fucking real sameee, got 9431 dmg just the other day. killed shock centipede in 2 turns and one turn sign of roses on mdh floor 5.
oooo? interestinggg hmhmhm. dungeon only is fair yeah mhm. hmhmhmmmmmmmm. this is very fucking cool. i see hmhmhm. we have a chef in out midst bc you are COOKING. mhmhmmmm very neat. id personally maybe hmm actually honglu still in for tremor hmmm. maybe more tremor units for w meur? (regret faust maybe) idk i just havent heard much good things about w meur. very fucking cool @rumekfuria
real as fuck! i love pirate greg
real asf!!!! id count it as dps bc it doesnt have a real through line its is just what works ykyk? very real.
lmao very real. yeahhh idk if it bc it is metaaa bc other teams totally preform better in there element i think but it is just very simple to use imo which is why. also it got fleshed out early so it has kinda dried up in recent interest. it still is very fun though and i like it it just doesnt stand out as a favorite imo. very fucking true. coolness > meta the animations are some of the coolest. beeg number :) @freiflies
onfgggg i love poise bl is very quite good. i wish i had nelly ryo, i have more then enough to shard her but what if i pull her rolling for others! i need to wait until i spend my lunacy pile (7000). mhmhm yeah the ego gifts make any status really fun. poise pops off normally but guh with everything else on top?? mhmhmh, i regularly get core ego gifts by like floor 3 and the rest of the mdh is swept. @sveta-karelia
WHEW i think that is all of them with text. thank you everyone who responded :):):):):):)

oops i reblogged myself after already putting my silly thoughts in the notes
no but like, and i just wanna preface that obviously bitches (bitches being everyone) are entitled to their opinions, and hey! if it's ur fave arc then yknow what it's ur fave arc!! have fun enjoying content u like my guy
but also yea it has a certain energy to it, there's so many great arcs in c1/naddpod and specifically within the context of brennan guesting + the fact that grimhawk is quite far into c1, it kinda does have the sucky implication that a lot of people mightve (i say 'might' bc i presume there are people who only listened to the deadeye arc for brennan specifically that voted on this poll) spent so many hours listening to bahumia's characters and world and connected the most with the arc featuring their most popular guest.... feels bad man
but once again, if u adore the grimhawk arc, and hell if u adore it bc brennan's in it and you rlly like brennan, yknow what that's ur right!!! i think it's more of that vibe of when it's a lot of people at once, it does kinda come across a certain way is all,,
also full disclosure i'm not on twitter but apparently whatever poll stuff's going on is getting tragic reactions from the tumblr girlies so my condolences o7
dk if it's just me but when ppl say the deadeye arc is their FAVORITE naddpod arc, it tends to confuse me.. like i just know brennan pays no rent in your brain, but favorite arc? to me, grimhawk is soooo anachronistic to the show at large, and to deem it as your darling is like, you're missing the point girlie girl (i am getting hives from bethany's twt poll 😭)
#rb#self rb#i do wanna put an asterisk on most popular guest bc popularity is a weird concept and lou is like. has done acting stuff & jimmy kimmel#i think i had more thoughts on this but i didnt write them all out before i slammed the save draft button and forgot it all#also everyone in the tags who has called themselves a murph girlie rise up fr#(btw op if u hate this reblog for derails etc i can delete! i just have had fandom experiences where ppl make valid personal complaints#and then they get big and gain traction and then other ppl start no true scotsman-ing fellow fans and then suddenly there's a permeating*#*and toxic glorification of the media at the expense of putting down all other media in the genre and uh. yeah#not saying u have any intent like that op! sfkjdksf im just a nervous lil nancy w bad past experiences lol)

BRO WHAT DO YOU HAVE IN YOUR DRAFTS LOL
Lol for those who didn't see on the last post:
So, basically I've been using my drafts as a really inefficient multipurpose repository for other people's posts that I don't want to lose, but don't necessarily want to like or rb right away.
For example, I try not to be that guy who only drops likes art posts on here, bc I know artists depend more on reblog traction. But I also have my own silly little catalogue tagging system that I am simply too lazy to do at times.
Solution? Save the RB as a draft so I can find it later (when I have the energy to type 5 measly words)! Thats part of why yall will sometimes see my little art blasts: 5-15 art post rbs in a row. I had a rare short bust of productivity, and curated a selection of tagged art posts in my drafts :]
Similar thing w articles. I try to make sure that I'm not doing the old "just read the incendiary headline and hit RB". Easy way to spread misinfo, or just not gain a very nuanced perspectve on a topic, yada yada.
Espescially true when I instinctively agree w the contensious political view being expressed & I am trying to avoid confirmation bias by doing additional research on counterarguements. It can be a slightly time consuming process.
So I very smartly think "I'll save this for later, when I have more time to read/fact-check it 🧐🤓" and much like my steam library and novel reading backlog, I proceed to not come back to it in 80% of cases.
Sometimes its also just a vibes thing w the dash. I'll see a very funny post, but it includes some dark joke about a car accident. I'll want to rb it and think "hold up.. i just saw a little vent post from a beloved mutual about them getting in to a serious fender bender this morning. Better hold off on this one for a bit"
& then in most cases i just don't go back thru to clear it out often enough 😔
All this among other silly reasons lol

OHHH IM SO HAPPY YOU NOTICE THAT AND CALL HIM KITTYKOYA!! \;;O;;/ tbh i didn't put this in my kittykoya tag bc i thought "hmm.. is he kittykoya if he's big? or akoya with cat ears?" BUT THE PEOPLE HAVE SPOKEN... this is a kittykoya!!! \>/////</ im very happy you think he is a very pretty kittykoya waaa!!! ;;/////;;💖 i love how you describe kinshirou blushing so much just from having him on his lap!!! ./)//////(\ you make them sound sooo cute waaaaughhh!!! 😭😭😭

#(Oh god I was JUST thinking about Akoya's name and this was the first post on my dash when I opened Tumblr fjsnckebfi) #((Mainly I was thinking that even after all these years I always feel I need to double check if 'Akoya' is his first or last name orz)) #(THAT ASIDE 'I'll just change it to holy angel Akoya' cbdojcienconeifnib) #(AND KINSHIRO BLUSHING SO MUCHHHHH) #(People were probably bullying Akoya for his name again for him to be thinking about this poor boy 😭)
OMG THE TIMING!!! WHAT AN AMAZING COINCIDENCE!!! \;;O;;/ omg i can imagine this is difficult bc people write it both ways and sometimes you don't know if they're writing it the english or japanese way! >.< HE WILL SOLVE THIS by naming himself holy angel akoya!!! \;;W;;/ im so happy you understand his solution LOL!!! 😂😂 WAAAA I LOVE HOW YOU NOTICE KINSHIROU BLUSHING SO MUCHHHH!!!! >//////<💕💕 thank you so much for all these thoughts about this omg!! 🥺 OH NOO POOR AKOYA 😭😭 thank you for thinking of him so sympathetically cries;;; 😭😭 i hope they wouldn't bully him for it as an adult (im not sure when exactly this is supposed to be set, i kinda meant them to be already in a relationship or kinshirou would have been MUCH more shocked lkv;dshs) but there might still be jokes or teasing about it 😭 though i think akoya would cringe and feel upset by it just to hear it called or have to show it on his official id 😭😭
