something I like about Blue Sargent is that she’s so believably seventeen years old. she misses her mom and yearns to keep her friendships and also to pursue her future and grow. she insults her cousin to her face but loves and is very protective of her. she wears fingerless gloves to cemeteries to look cool even though she knows trying to look cool will bite her in the ass, she monologues about how if she opens her pink switchblade she’s sure she’ll cut herself as a sensible teen but also monologues about how she looves the idea of herself as a badass with a switchblade, and then she does indeed open it and cut herself and connects it to her emotional hurt. she’s both self-conscious and confident, and highly pretentious. She’s a one thousand year old condescending brat who wishes she was surrounded by fellow one thousand year old condescending brats at all times. she’s impulsive and idealistic and empathetic and sensible and stubborn and judgemental and curious and compassionate and playful and fiercely loving. she’s a fanciful sensible thing, she’s good but she’s not nice, she’s brave because she’s full of fear. I love her

Lots of discussion about which bird has the most beautiful high-contrast plumage on my other post so I say we put it to a vote. Who’s your pick?

Im in love with how the hearts are represented by nether stars,, its just one really cool to think of, instead of it being some modded in thing.

Like do you think the lifesteal members ever look at the night sky and think its alive? The night sky so full of lives, shining and shimmering just out of reach. Do they stare at the nightsky with greed, those with less hearts, do they stare with envy?

Do they ever kill the wither and think how remarkably similar they are to hearts? Holding the nether star close, like it might give them a life back. Do they identify witht he wither, they also drop those same stars when they die after all?

And then, how does it feel to hold a star/life. Does it burn like a real star? Is it freezing cold? Does it thump in rhythms or pulse with light? We are all made of star dust after all, the lifesteal members are just more star than most.

I have been apart of the Danny Phantom fandom since it was airing on TV, I love it with a burning passion and probably always will- and not to be a jerk but it’s annoying as hell that half of the fandom content is DC crossover stuff now. I’m pretty sure you have your own tag, stop tagging the main fandom tag- which to be clear, is “Danny Phantom.” It’s not a character tag, it’s a fandom tag, stop clogging it.

DC/DP is basically its own fandom now, if people wanted to find it they know it’s there. There’s no way for me to block it, Tumblr still pops up with an annoying banner that tells me something is there I don’t want to be reminded of every ten seconds. And even then, why is it that I have to filter content for my own fandom?

When I click on the Danny Phantom tag I’m expecting to see Skulker, or Johnny 13, or Young Blood, or other Danny Phantom world content or lore- do y’all even bother with that or do you just see Danny as a pre made ghost OC? Cause you can just do that and not tag an entire other fandom. I want Danny Phantom shit based around the Danny Phantom Universe with Danny Phantom characters.

This was not here to this degree four years ago, what the heck happened?

I say this as a member of my college Comic Book Club- I Love DC. I absolutely adore DC- In fact I like to go to the DC part of Tumblr for DC stuff and I am currently reading Batman comics- Why am I getting posts about it in my Danny Phantom fandom? Half the time you are tagging content which doesn’t even have Danny in it at all and you just automatically associate the Bat Family with the Danny Phantom tag because that’s your obsession.

I get it, you can love crossovers, that’s great. So do I- tag it right. Stop using the main fandom tag. Crossovers are okay in moderation, like sprinkles on ice cream— the topping should not be swallowing the entire meal. I should not walk in and be served an entire bowl of sprinkles and asked ‘would you like some ice cream with that?’ Like, Yeah obviously, I came for the ice cream, not sure why you assume I wanted some other random thing.

“Hi, can I order a bean burrito?”

“One deluxe hamburger coming right up.”

“That’s not even remotely what I asked for or what’s on the menu.”

“Don’t care, NEXT.”

You need to understand this is not a normal case or I wouldn’t even say anything. This isn’t some cute crossover that passes every once in a while and can be tagged as all the fandoms involved for visibility- you are literally swallowing up the fandom. We know you are there, please, please stop. Do not give me the blocking lecture, in fact I have already blocked you; Probably hundreds of other people already have, and if anything you’re just pissing off Danny Phantom fans who otherwise might enjoy seeing your content every once in a while when it’s relevant or when they look for it. There are a lot of DpDc fans with cool art I wouldn’t mind seeing if I’m curious, but now I’m just blanket pissed by anything popping up in my feed that should not be there.

How did we get here? I’ll even do you a favor and not tag this as DPxDC because I think it’s rude to bombard another fandom with content they probably don’t want to see. You should try it.

I’d say this goes for other fandoms as well, but to be frank seeing one post in a thousand about a crossover idea isn’t nearly the same as every other post.

[faaun]

what draws you back to your country what draws you back to your land when i was a kid i told myself if i ever left iran i'd never go back 2 years into living in the UK i started looking at news on iran again 10 years in and i visited it for the first time again and today i heard an iranian mother talk in farsi to her child on the train to london the way my mother used to and i wanted to cry i wanted to ask her whether they're still cutting the mountaintops whether the lakes are still drying today i showed the person i was with pictures of waterfalls and palaces and forests and snow-white north something odd pulls me back with increasing force i can't ignore it ever again

oh nothing just thinking about the creature's little micro expressions and grunts and gurgles and desperate attempts at verbalization and communication.

random writing thing I've been doing in Kirby fics—while Meta Knight is the only character I write using more verbose words and generally more "fancy"-sounding, and Dedede is the only one who has like, a US southerner accent, there are some dialogue things I've been putting in to show the different ways characters around them speak:

King Dedede uses more shortened or "lazier" manners of speech, like the "whatcha", "whaddaya", "kinda", "sorta", etc., to showcase his sort of lackadaisical demeanour

Kirby also uses some of the more "lazier" ways of speaking mentioned above which I chose because I write him as a kid and I thought that made sense of a kid

I also like giving Bandana some of those speech patterns because he's historically been one of the king's loyal servants and I like the idea of him picking up that way of speaking from him

in contrast, Meta Knight tends to always say words in full, "what are you", "what do you", "kind of", "sort of", etc., to try and showcase his more serious and knightly manner though I do also have him use contractions so he still sounds somewhat modern lmao

I tend to have the Meta-Knights speak like him as well, saying words in full, like with Bandana and Dedede, to showcase how they pick up things from who they serve
