I feel like this is a dumb question but what are ur pronouns??
I could tell you but one time someone DMed me interested in commissions so I gave my info but when I clicked their blog just to see what they might request it said "men DNI" and they ghosted me so maybe they found out I'm a man and I lost a precious precious ninety five dollars. So online I keep it ambiguous for mass appeal. Maybe that makes me a "sell out" .
#(this is a joke)#(i mean it was a real thing that happened but me being mad/financially unstable about it as a joke)#(what's the tone indicator kids use these days for that)#serious answer: im a man irl but idc that much what you refer to me in the context of being an online creator

mildly entertaining pjo fandom curse (mostly in that you can make games out of it):
everybody draws Piper showing skin. half the time Shel as well. literally almost EVERYBODY. go look at Piper fanart. is she wearing a crop top? i bet she is. or if she's wearing a dress hers is gonna be one of the most revealing. bonus points if they gave her a belly button piercing. and it's almost always only Piper and/or Shel. i thought we had a whole discussion about sexualizing young indigenous girls back in like 2021 but i guess nobody processed that part cause pjo fandom acts like if they dont have Piper show her stomach or have her shirt ride up they'll die.
the curse is that you will never unsee this. have fun with that.
#pjo#riordanverse#piper mclean#my friend inflicted this curse onto me and now i must inflict it unto you#like obviously just drawing Piper wearing a croptop by itself is not egregious on it's own but its EVERYBODY *ONLY* draws her in a croptop#as like her default outfit. constantly.#and *ONLY* her. this is not done for any other characters - including other Aphrodite kids. Only Piper (and maybe Shel)#anyways this is what i have to deal with every time i look at piper fanart#its like same 4 things: crop top. bad skin tones and/or stereotyped nose. feathers. and/or beaded earrings#thats it thats all Piper fanart in a nutshell#(the last one like nine times out of ten ends up just feeling like exoticization)#(cause if pjo fandom doesnt have a visual indicator of her being native american or cant ''make her look 'more native''' they die or smth)#btw if you ever say the phrase ''make her look 'more native''' about Piper or Shel or etc i'll eat your kneecaps#saying those words gives me legal permission to hunt you for sport. btw. it also means you owe me 20 dollars.#anyways fun drinking game or etc: take a shot every time piper has a crop top or her shirt up somehow in fanart#warning: my friend and i played this game with water and we both finished like two full bottles of water in like an hour#its REALLY BAD#we literally have a game of every time we share piper fanart in the gc one of us will call out ''her stomach is showing'' and we all scream

Not to be autistic on main or anything but I think a lot of the people who mock tone indicators and talk about how unhelpful and stupid they are forget that. They are helpful for some people (me) who use them constantly because I cannot for the life of me convey my tone over text and they help me understand the tone of other people as well. Even if you're autistic and you personally don't use them or don't find them helpful there's tons of people in your community who do use them and find them helpful and idk. It just feels very mean spirited and kind of nasty to mock something that people genuinely find helpful just because you don't use them. Like its great that you don't need them but they're an accessibility tool and they help me out a lot. It's weird that you need to go out of your way to talk about how you don't use them so that means they're stupid and don't make any sense. It gets to a point where you're mocking the autistic people who do find them helpful and that's. Not great
#just something that's been on my mind recently#tone indicators are so so helpful for me#i hate being misunderstood and they make things a lot clearer for the people i talk to#it feels almost like people are mocking me and everyone else who uses them#when people blab on and on about they're so confusing#okay skill issue they make sense to me and i find them to be a great tool when talking over text#awesome that you don't need them! i do tho#i do think this goes back to like#everyone is so supportive of autistic people#until it's something they find irritating or bothersome#like yeah we love autistic people until they talk in that weird way that makes me annoyed#even if you're autistic yourself#that doesn't like#make it any nicer? that might make it worse because why are you being so nasty to people#who are clearly already struggling with communicating

every time i watch anything with him in it (admittingly, predominantly from the Dropout app), i am reminded that Lou Wilson is the most handsome man to have ever lived. like, objectively. he just is. i will hear no arguments for any other person to be ranked higher. Lou Wilson: whose face single-handedly shows humanity can go no higher in beauty. he is THE most attractive man in the world. argue with the wall lmao
#lou wilson#dimension 20#dropout#game changer#i feel compelled to mention this comes from (a) me having had this opinion 5ever and needing it published as i rewatch Neverafter#and (b) that i am on aroace spectrum (im a demi-bi/pan-romantic asexual. mouthful. ugh) so like#the ''hot tingling'' feelings y'all alloromantic-allosexuals get? i dont get those. i feel like this somehow equips me to be#objective while y'all have subjectively biased preferences. dont ask me questions about this flimsy defense. im so objective. all the time#(if you need a tone indicator here: im being sarcastic and joking. i know my queerness does not make me objective. but let me joke about#this because i feel like i am SO RIGHT ABOUT HOW GODDAMN ATTRACTIVE LOU WILSON IS. PUT THIS MAN'S IMAGE IN MUSEUMS TO LAST FOREVERMORE)#how can a man still be hot after voicing Pinocchio. idk. ask Lou Wilson the most beautiful man to ever exist#he's just so stylish and pretty and funny and he has a great smile. A++. put him on the cover of magazines#my post#mine

I don't need all shows to be as good as Andor but I do need Andor s2 to be as good as Andor. Do you understand?
#andor#if they only half-arse it or tone down the anti-fascism its dead to me#the rush schedule may indicate theyre hoping for awards noms which is a good sign#but i need it to make me want to crush a fascist's head in with a brick again#it needs to be visceral

every time i see people critique the online fandom 2020 era culture its like.... youre not wrong it definitely Was Not Good looking back, but also imo you can NOT discuss it appropriately while discussing it outside of its larger context.
like hm. wonder if anything was happening that made everyone More Anxious And Neurotic? wonder why ppl put SO much emphasis on respecting peoples personal boundaries? wonder WHY ppl were so desperate to behave however to remain in the online in-group, as if it was their primary/only social outlet?
hmmm🦠if🦠only🦠we🦠had🦠the🦠cultural🦠context🦠here
#like its easy to look back on and mock and i dont think you SHOULDNT but. you have to also consider the fucking Scenario#its even worse (aka more noticable) in MASSIVE and popular fandoms at the time like dsmp but like....#Have You Considered It Was Like That For A Reason Perhaps#'why do they care so much abt boundaries' irl ppl had LITERAL DISTANCE BOUNDARIES to respect at fear of their health#it makes sense to kind of transfer that hesitation and feelings to other stuff. at least to ME#why did everyone lean SO hard into the tone indicators and call outs and shit? bc you CANT GO OUTSIDE AND HANG W FRIENDS#your only immediate social circle is VERY limited. of course theyd be fucking terrified of losing the only other thing they have#idk im just. shooters for 2020/2021 online culture ig theyre in the wrong but theyre justified for it jfdksljfk

boomer kaito socmed au where kaito likes to randomly sign off his tweets with the rose emoji 🥀 but rn it's evolve into being used as the new 😭→💀→🥀 emoji so twitter just thinks kaito is laugh crying or being sarcastic/ironic all the time lmao
@.kaito.k finally coming home to shinichi today!!!! 🥀
>>oh girl that's not....
>>> i don't think he knows this 🥀 lmao 🥀🥀🥀
>>>>shh let him be, he's not chronically online like us 🥀
>>>you must be new here he's been using that emoji since before he blew up let him live 💀💀💀
>>>ofc a 💀 user would say that
#kaishin#dc prattles#one day I'll make that kaishin socmed au ughghhh#i recently discovered that twt people (specifically cos i dont frequent other socmed like i do there and here) have been using the 🥀 emoji#as an evolution of 😭 to 💀 and then 🥀#so i was like...lol what if kaito uses the rose emoji a lot but he doesnt even know its meaning has changed#it's like for me growing up 'pos' has always meant piece of shit but now apparently it's a tone indicator meaning positive LOL#i know yall mean positive but i still read it as piece of shit first 😂😂😂#ah the beauty of language ever evolving#anyway i hc kaito as chronically online tbh but not so online that he would be super up to date with the little changes in emoji usages#i think he would eventually learn though and then he'd be like#“just learned the rose emoji has been hijacked into another meaning so i cant use it as i have before 🥀”#like yes he will use it perfectly in its new meaning just to prove that he can#and then he'll probably continue to use the rose emoji anyway cos fuck the new meaning LOL

Wire I love beezle is there ANYTHING ELSE about him or do you have any more art /nf beezle is just awesome
I don't have anymore art of him, that doodle page was his original concept page & I haven't done anything else besides his lineup version since x_x. But maybe I'll do another doodle page of him soon, since people seem to like him so much!
As for anything else to say about him...
He and Oxaclock have some considerable beef with each other. Oxaclock was discharged before he reached Wisertelly, and was meant to be the one overseeing. Beezle was put in his place. Oxaclock is thought to have stolen his own host, and his host also caused a massive shift in attitude that resulted in his discharge. Beezle looks down upon this, but gives him a level of smug forgiveness that Oxy absolutely hates. Among... a few other issues between them.
As with much of the other leaders of the L.C., Beezle is fully aware of the main 15 mimes, which in the L.C. are referred to as the outlaws. Because most of the outlaws-- with the exception of two-- do not typically interfere with L.C. and sometimes even work with them, he pays them no mind.
However because of Oxaclock's association with Ching, there are many times where he targets Ching just to get a rise out of Oxy.
He doesn't do this with anyone else. He just has some kind of grudge against Oxaclock for reasons that remain unknown beyond he and his rival.
#brambleramble#please dont use tone indicators for me. in the future.#im not upset by it but they confuse me and i dont know how comfortable i am sharing asks that#have them in them. because it's like a secret code i don't understand and so I dont really know what message sharing as a result#anyways. unrelated.#glad beezle is such a hit#despite him not being like. a huge character

Nowadays to become famous, you must already have a big online following! So, Dulce is taking her social media posts more seriously and started her own YouTube channel. She wants to share recipes, tutorials, and reviews. Maybe a bit of fashion, hair, and makeup tips too…

do dan and phil know about tone tags?
I mean, thinking of them as people who read often and who engage with the internet often, probably. I can't think of an example of them using it off-the-bat, but since most of their content includes spoken words, it wouldn't come up that often probably. Dan's book has the most actual writing, but since it's instructional and nonfiction, a sudden sentence with a joke and completely off topic point would definitely stand out as sarcastic to the reader immediately. Joe Trohman (the fall out boy kind) is also Really good at writing tone without falling back on repeating the word itself- like how it can be annoying to read "she said she was saying she spoke" over and over, it often benefits writers to get creative with their language. Does that mean most of his sentences are almost outrageously long and that I keep a dictionary by my side when he posts? Yeah sure but it's worth it because it's really easy to understand with all that extra stuff. Dave Grohl's memoir has not been so easy, there's been a few pages I've had to reread ad nauseam cause I couldn't, for the life of me, figure out if he was bullshitting. In a way, confusion is it's own art form, but when you come across it without context in a memoir, it can really throw you off.
I'm also someone who needs to know how an entire machine works to be able to even turn it on, so this is definitely a literary technique that helps brains like mine
