It's that time of year folks!!!

Very very excited to host the gift exchange once again! Past two years have been a ton of fun, so lets hope the third is even better!

if you wanna join, just reblog/reply to this post or dm me with what you'd like. full rules, dates, and details are under the cut, please read those fully first before joining!!! :]

Entries close midnight (est) November 27th!!

For the uninitiated, the osc gift exchange is exactly what it sounds like! you let me know via reblog/reply/dm what you'd like as part of your gift--whether that's a certain show, character, ship, oc, anything! Then, you'll be randomly assigned a giftee and will make a gift based on their request. Finally, once the day comes, you post your gift and @ the person its for!

the timeline looks like this:

Nov. 11-27: enter by letting me know what you'd like! as with previous years, I ask that you keep your gift requests sfw, and to please send me references for any ocs you may want as part of your gift. As well, if there's anything you cant do (ie, a character or paring that makes you uncomfortable) please let me know when you join!

Dec. 1: I'll let you know who you've been assigned! please be sure you have dms (or at the very least asks) open for this bit!

Dec. 1-30: Make your gift! this can be anything from art to writing to music to needlepoint--so long as you include the giftee's request, the possibilities are endless!

Dec. 31: post your gift, and be sure to @ who its for in the post! Please do not post your gift before this date!!! if for whatever reason this date does not work for you please let me know and we'll work something out!!

Assorted other things to note:

please make sure your gift requests are osc/ object show related! if you dont know what that is then this likely isnt the gift exchange for you lol

you dont have to do everything your giftee requests if you dont wanna. If they give you a list of 20 characters, you can pick 1, 5, 10, all 20, the choice is up to you!

if you need to drop out for any reason please let me know as soon as possible so I can reassign your giftee

not a hard and fast rule but if you could shoot me a message when you get your giftee letting me know you saw the message, itd be much appreciated!!!

you can not join anonymously! It wouldnt be fair to your giftee, in my mind, if you did :]

on a related note, while i try to make the exchange as open to everyone as possible, if i deem it necessary i can and will bar you from participating if your inclusion would be detrimental to other giftees. while i dont anticipate needing to do so (so there isnt really a reason for you to worry about it) this was an issue last year. In the very unlikely event that I dont let you join, please dont yell at me about it. just accept it and move on.

as per usual, ill be using the tag #osc gift exchange for the event, so feel free to tag your posts so i can find them! :D

And that's it! if youve got any other questions or comments, feel free to ask and ill do my best to answer them! Thank you! ^-^

So I just saw [this post] focused on Tang Shen, and the comment about her name got me thinking.

And because I'm a giant language nerd and know where to look, I decided to look up the parts of her name.

Tang is a Chinese surname and can either be in reference to the Tang Dynasty, or it can specifically be the Cantonese romanization of Deng-- which refers "to the ancient state of Deng, which existed during the Shang and Zhou dynasties in what is now either Henan or Hubei province."

Shen is a Chinese masculine name (which makes it an interesting choice for her) that apparently means 'deep thinker', 'deep thought', or 'spirit'.

All of this is to say, if we take her name as the guiding point, Shen should be Chinese. Whether that means she was an immigrant to Japan, or if she's mixed Chinese and Japanese, or any other number of possibilities is up for interpretation.

But there you go TMNT fandom: Shen should be Chinese.

Greypunk / Graypunk ( or Greyqueer / Grayqueer )

Greypunk / Greyqueer is a punk / queer term (similar to Genderpunk/Genderfuck, Voidpunk, and many other queer terms) which focuses on those in the "Grey area(s)" of identity- including but not limited to Greygender/Grey agender people, Greyromantics/Greyaros, Greysexuals/Greyaces, Greyplatonics/Greyapls, and anyone else who feels nebulous/"in-between"/vague/undefinable or similar (especially Neurodivergent, Intersex, Androgynous, and GNC folk).

I use "Grey Area" here with the definition of "not readily conforming to a single category or to an existing set of rules" so I don't have to type that out every time. (You don’t have to use that exact wording for your own identity btw)

This concept is intentionally broad and... grey! I will not gatekeep this term to any specific group(s) or label(s) and I think doing so would be antithetical to it's purpose. So please don't do that and if you want to use it go ahead.

Greypunk / Greyqueer is about community, solidarity, and defending your (and others) right to exist in the "Grey area" while also labeling your gender/attraction/etc. in a way that is the most comfortable/true to yourself/your experiences.

It's about rejecting those who try to draw strict lines around your identity and going "fuck you" when they tell you should (or make assumptions about you).

It's about finding joy and comfort your in your identity, respecting that everything isn't "black and white" (or binary/trinary, however you want to phrase it).

Greypunk / Greyqueer was inspired by my anger at many things, but mainly by the attempted exclusion of Greyaros/Greyaces from the terms Aro/Ace/Aroace or even from calling themselves "bi/gay/[insert orientation] aroace" (on the basis that they aren't "strictly"/"pure" Aros/Aces/Aroaces).

See this blog post on "umbrella crunching" here, this summary post with links, this post, this post, this post, this Arocalypse comment, this post, and this other blogpost (with even more links!) for discussion by people more eloquent than me on the above issues.

It was also inspired by the pushback against that exclusionism that I've seen (shoutout to the r/orientedaroaces subreddit!) as well as my experiences as an Aroace Androgynous Intersex person who's fed up with people defining my experiences for me.

The flag uses the same layout as Genderpunk and a few other -punk terms. I choose it for unity and also I think it just looks good. The colors are taken from the different "Grey-" flags. The dark grey to light grey stands for the "grey area", green is for Greyaros as well as Greyapls, the blue is for Greygender people as well as Greyaroaces, and the purple is for Greyaces as well as GNC, Intersex, and androgynous folks.

( Editing this to include Greyqueer as an alternative term for those who prefer it to the -punk suffix. )

[through heavy autotune] hhey guys,,

[anomalymon]

Still haven't formed coherent thoughts about this yet, but has anyone else noticed this thing in alterhuman, plural, and MOGAI communities where some people only use terms or identities if they've already been "coined"?

[unluckyxse7en]

Gdi... my gamecube memory cards won't allow me to move or copy the save data over to each other, and I don't know how to look up the problem because all the results are either about copying emulator data or transferring it onto the wii....

I don't think the issue is a lack of space because one of them has a bunch of space, and while the other is smaller it should have enough room for a file of some sort... I'm worried it's that they're too old or something corrupted on one of them even if the data itself seems fine...

I'm redoing the first nine pages of RC for fun and wasn't sure when or how to update it. I don't want to interrupt the current story with one we've already seen, though, so I thought I'd ask you guys! ;v;

[dubioushonour]

>=3!!!!

[kailysander]

If you want to keep doing them I find the update ads really helpful since the tapas app doesnt give a notification!! Love your work :)

That’s good to know! I think I worry about posting them on here specifically since my posting schedule on Tumblr is a little different, so it might mean it’s all I post for a few weeks/a month. Still I guess that’s only like 4 posts so I shouldn’t get too pressed abt it lol

[8a8y]

my biggest beef with this game is honest to god the time it takes for a drop to appear on an enemy’s body i always have to flick my camera back to double check that i didn’t run past one after a kill

[puppys-rhythm-heaven]

kind of hilarious to me how chaotic the rhythm heaven fandom is. i guess it makes sense cuz the games are chaotic too but it's just. the content's great. this is a rhythm game n people make it like impossible to actually follow the rhythm (either through spam or just by making it extremely dumb)-

i need to note down timestamps more when i do weird shit in game there were some absolutely fucked rounds in there .

Does Declan ever become a carewhumper? Or is he pretty much a whumper only

Hmmm good question. Guess it depends on your definition of “carewhumper”.

Agh I can’t typeee. Usually the words just appear when I’m talking about Noah but rn I’m so tiredddd and I actually have to thinkkkk

After the flip, Noah has nothing left to stand for, Declan’s gonna make sure he knows it. Torture torture pain humiliation blah blah until there’s nothing left in Noah for him to resist. Until he just kinda gives up.

Then Declan’s gonna become a *tiny* bit nicer, maybe a bit more over time. Not really a caretaker, just less of a Whumper as he like slowly reintroduces Noah to work, just this time he’s gonna be fully loyal. He’s still going to like hurt and threaten Noah if he screws up, but that’s just so he learns.

I hate the way that’s worded so much but I do not have the energy to rewrite it.

There also might—might—be a few instances where Noah gets hurt too much by someone who’s not him and Declan will deny it until his last breath but he is actually a little protective of Noah. Mainly he doesn’t want other people hurting him cause “they won’t do it right” (sure, buddy)

That doesn’t really answer your question though. I don’t think he’ll ever come close to being a caretaker. If Noah needs any sort of medical attention, they have doctors for a reason. There will be times where he’s gentle, like after the branding when he helps Noah drink some water and lets him be on the couch, but I wouldn’t go as far to classify that as carewhumper.

Edit: I have been thinking a bit about this and I kinda do want to give Noah somewhat of a caretaker. Maybe a nicer guard or an infirmary worker who he gets a bit close with after Declan almost kills him (again). Someone to make things just a tiny bit easier, give him enough hope not to completely give up. Cause with the plot I have planned now, he’s gonna need something to keep him going. Poor Noah’s got it rough
