Cool Shit I've Made (masterpost)

If you want to support me, or if you just want to see what I'm up to, check out the stuff under the cut!

My Currently Active Sideblogs

@organical-mechanical: This is actually my main blog! Go here for all of my unrelated art, EVEN MORE off-topic posts, and the occasional reblog or link to other people's art, generally under the theme of bodily imagry, machinery and software, and/or the combination of the two. Naturally, there's a heavy content warning for blood and gore.

@mind-of-moth: My ask blog/webcomic/light novel? about an inexplicably human doctor in a My Little Pony-esque world grappling with various concepts related to death

My YouTube Channel

As you can see, my YouTube channel is tied to @organical-mechanical and not @hazard-symbols-that-fuck-hard, so you can expect the content to revolve more around innards and CRT monitors rather than the NFPA. In any case, this is where I store-- what else-- my video art

My Itch.io Projects

Hazard Tarot Cards:

A printable card deck for only seven smackaroos, featuring all of your favorite hazard symbols!

Hazard Poker Cards:

Similar to the tarot cards, but for poker!

Mad Science Interactive:

A mock virtual science lab where you grow your own transgenic beast using real-world techniques! The game is 100% free and playable in-browser, with bonus content should you choose to donate $10 or more! (it's basically a three-minute glorified slide show)

There have been quite a bit of "guilt trippy" and "forceful" posts recently about how you must reblog everything you give a Like, how reblogging is like the lifeblood of this site, and so forth. And yeah, it's true, reblogging is very helpful for everyone involved, especially on Tumblr.

But I want to reassure others (and myself too!) who fret about these (at times) pressing and aggressive-sounding posts. You don't have to reblog if you don't want your blog to be filled with them. Your blog may have a theme/specific subject like it being an art, ask, or roleplay blog. It's fine to not want to clutter your blog(s) with things unrelated to your blog's theme.

The upside of Tumblr is that you can have side blogs and you can dedicate one of them to reblogs only. You can name it whatever you want if you don't want others to quickly find it, in case the stuff you enjoy is on a more personal level you aren't willing to publicly share. I have one too because I'm one of the people who likes to stay on theme with their blogs. It's a bit of a hassle to reblog posts to a side blog if you aren't used to it yet, but you'll get it in time. Just make sure you have an avatar and banner on this side blog, and maybe a short bio/description, to show you aren't a bot. That helps with not getting your side blog blocked.

The thoughts of "I don't want to reblog-spam someone's notifications" or "I don't want to flood my mutuals and followers' feeds with many reblogs" are valid, but still ones you should try and put aside. It's not up to you to curate other people's online experiences; it's their own. If someone doesn't want their posts to be reblogged, they can opt out of that. If a follower/mutual doesn't want to see certain reblogs, they can use Xkit (Rewritten) or whatever tools to hide or blacklist them. You reblog what makes you happy or like to share, and if you're more comfortable doing so from a side blog, then please do. While tags in reblogs are appreciated, they aren't a must so don't feel pressured about that either.

While I know all this is supposed to be common knowledge, I just wanted to make this post in case some of my followers are nervous about the whole reblog subject, or are still learning about how Tumblr works. You've got this!

[museaway]

I've reported a couple non-fandom followers lately that initially appear to be legit blogs, but I think they're fake because of this stuff:

even though posts follow a theme (e.g. cats), they are tagged strangely and inconsistently. not tag stuffing like IG users do, just full-on bizarre/nonsensical. and pictures are farmed from around the internet, no credit, varying in quality

posts are missing critical words, such as sentence subjects. one this morning had the phrase "Ten Unknown Facts About" ???

text repeats from post to post with slight variations

header and user pictures are low resolution

blog follows a long, random list of unrelated blogs with no clear pattern (e.g. a fandom, other cat blogs)

blog is brand new

hi reddit. here are some tips.

i will be putting these below a "readmore" - which is the first lesson. on desktop there is a button for this. on mobile you type :readmore: followed by a linebreak. it is considered common ettique to shorten your long posts in this way.

by the way, are you reblogging a long post that isn't under a readmore? tag that as #long post so users can blacklist it and not have to scroll for five years.

(weird gaps in bullet points due to character limits lmao)

Title. Icon. Banner. blog description. (look around if you need an idea for what to put in your blog description.) Blogs without this information (ESPECIALLY the no icon + no title combo) gets you blocked immediately. This is because tumblr has always had a severe bot problem. Just grab a meme from your camera roll or a picture of a character you like from google.

also, because most users have their pronouns in their bio, it is expected that you will look there to check before addressing them, out of courtesy. don't just default to "they" - only do that if a person's pronoun's are unclear or if the pronouns listed ARE "they."

Disable public likes. the like button is for personal bookmarking. very often, people will like posts they have not read yet, so that they can read them later. a person's likes is not always reflective of their stances, and if your likes are public, people may use them against you in an argument. think of your likes as your browser history. tumblr users value privacy in this instance.

unrelated to the above point: likes are also used to show compassion for a user going through a tough time, or to say "hey, i thought this joke you made was funny." this use of likes is more for friend-to-friend communication.

Disable anything in your settings that is algorithmic including seeing posts based on other people's likes (one, because algorithms exist to make you mad and two, as part of respecting privacy)

set "following" to appear before "for you" (and overall avoid "for you")

Snooze Tumblr Live (sorry. you have to do this once a week bc tumblr sucks.)

Open your askbox so people can communicate with you. Decide if you want to allow anonymous asks and/or public DMs.

Enable the desktop version of your blog. This makes it so that when you use a computer and go to [yourusername].tumblr.com you can have a website with HTML and CSS. tumblr has tried very hard to kill blog personalization but you can find many helpful users posting in the tags, as well as pre-made themes you can install. tumblr users are the ones making the bulk of neocities websites, and in general tend to be friendly in redirecting you to resources.

enabling your desktop blog also allows you to insert links and do very basic editing (like inserting line breaks) in your blog description (we call "bio") which translates to the mobile version of your theme. you have to do this in the editor for the desktop on a computer. also, editing your theme on mobile (like changing color, font) will undo your HTML. your best bet is to edit your mobile theme first and THEN do the HTML/link stuff on a computer. i know it sounds a bit convoluted but you'll figure it out. (this website is made of duct tape)

also while you are on desktop: download xkit rewritten. it won't work on mobile but it gives you a lot of helpful features. also consider installing ublock origin if you haven't already, because tumblr will sometimes add annoying widgets to their website and that tool will allow you to block them. i also use "palettes for tumblr" to customize my dashboard color. tumblr DOES have built-in dashboard themes but i do not like them personally.

pinned posts. you can pin any post you make or reblog. some people use this to pin a funny meme, and other people use the pinned post as an extended bio (or otherwise an alternative to it). a tumblr post made on desktop can hold up to 30 images (the limit is 10 on mobile.) you can also embed links, a video, and even audio. you can change text color, have bullet points, and increase font size. as such, you can express yourself much more in a pinned post than in your mobile blog description. a typical pinned post may include information about the user, a link to an external website (like a carrd, neocities, or linktree), and sometimes an image or two. tumblr allows you to disable reblogs for a post, so most pinned posts are set this way so it just stays on a user's blog.

DNIs (also called "BYF"). not everyone uses them, and they can be divisive. it stands for "Do Not Interact" - and is a boundary set to keep people away. this may include age (example: "minors DNI"), political opinions (example: "prolifers DNI"), and sometimes deeply niche online discourse. DNIs are also sometimes a joke (example: "DNI if you like tuna salad"). there is actually a meme where someone will write a post with a very long, unreasonable DNI and users will count how many apply to them.

If you would upvote a post on reddit, you would reblog it here. If you see something and you think it is cool, you think it is funny, or you think it is helpful, reblog it. Some users have sideblogs (you can have infinite sideblogs attached to your main account) to organize all of the posts they reblog. Others simply use a tagging system for organizational purposes (and so users can blacklist ("filter") those tags in their settings if they don't want to see the post). For example, if I followed a user for Star Trek, but they also posted a lot of Star Wars, I might add "#star wars" to my list of filters. This way, I am only seeing the Star Trek posts. Tumblr's default way of handling this is to display a box that says "this post contains #Star Wars" and you can choose whether or not to open it. on desktop with xkit rewritten, you can have it hide those boxes entirely. please use filters. your sanity will thank you.

In a reblog, Organizational Tags are for /you./ I see a lot of confusion about this from new users. If you reblog someone else's post and add 500 tags..... it's not going to get picked up in tumblr search. You're not going to get any sort of exposure. Because it is not your post. Those tags are only for /you/ - if you want to find the post again.

tags are also used for commentary. most tumblr users do /not/ talk in post replies or in the comments of a reblog. most of them talk in tags. tags have a character limit so these messages are broken up in fragments. tumblr uses a comma (,) to make a new tag, so users often use either no punctuation or a period (.) or a hyphen (-) to break up thoughts. two apostrophes ('') are used instead of quotation marks (because they dont work in tags). this is also where "tumblr writing style" comes from. we all began to write in lowercase and use punctuation in. a weird way. like. for emphasis. there is also the Tumblr Comma, a special unicode character that resembles a comma and works in tags when copy+pasted or put there with a keyboard shortcut. but this is often not used. here it is: ‚

also here's an example of tags. you will notice that commentary goes before organizational: #GOD DHSHSKDDJDL #i cannot BELIEVE i forgot about this. what the fuck #star trek #spock

when leaving tags, most users talk to themselves. but please remember that tags can be seen by anyone, including the original poster. in general, it is discouraged to traumadump or be rude.

"prev tags" (which tumblr staff is trying their damnest to erase sadly) is when a user reblogs a post from another user and tags it simply ''prev'' or ''prev tags" (meaning "i agree with the previous user's tags"). sometimes it's because a thoughtful observation was made, but usually it's a way of saying "hey! that was a funny joke!" without putting the user on blast by screenshotting the tags. it's most common between friends and mutuals (users following each other). i would say it is equivalent to users whispering to each other and giggling rather than getting up on a table and shouting. "prev tag chain" is when users reblog "prev tags" "prev prev tags" - and so on. however, sadly, tumblr has removed the feature of moving backwards in a reblog chain on desktop. i have not updated my app and refuse to, so i so not know if it is gone on mobile as well, but it probably is. EDIT: the browser extension Xkit Rewritten has an option now, in "tweaks" called "restore links to individual posts in post header." it should be the first option. prev tags, on desktop at least, is saved!

screenshotting someone elses tags and adding the image in a reblog is known as "passing peer review." it is, however, considered to be Greatly Annoying to accompany those tags with unnecessary commentary (ex: "these tags pass peer review!" "WHY WOULD YOU LEAVE THIS IN THE TAGS" "LMAAOO THIS IS SO FUNNYYY"). the tags can stand on their own. the only instance in which this is different is during a serious discussion, when you want to build off of another user's perspective. in which case, you address them as normal. some people credit taggers, some people don't. crediting tends to occur in discussions.

when making an original post, do not use irrelevant tags for Exposure. this is Greatly Hated by the userbase and is also against the TOS. you will get blocked at best, reported or yelled at at worst. only add relevant tags, and do not go overboard.

reposting other people's artwork is highly discouraged and is considered the Highest Offense. if you do any sort of reposting, you should credit and link to a creator directly. however, tumblr loves reposted videos, especially ones from tiktok. there are entire accounts dedicated to posting those.

sideblogs! it is possible to have multiple blogs under one email address. tumblr treats these blogs as proxies of your main blog. this means that sending someone an ask/commenting in the replies of a post will always appear with the name of your main blog, your likes will appear with the name of your main blog, and that if you follow someone you will appear on their followers list as your main blog (so you may be mutuals with someone and not even know it because their sideblog interacts with you, but isn't on your follower's list... because their main blog is listed there instead.) however, DMs DO appear as the sideblog name. you cannot swap your main blog with your sideblog. and right now, there is a bug where deleting a sideblog will delete your entire tumblr account so. don't do that lol. anyway, the amount of sideblogs you can make is literally infinite and i think there's just a Daily Limit of creating 10 of them or something. some users make a sideblog for each interest they have. others have no sideblogs and reblog everything to main. and then you have people like me that do both. somehow. some users will make sideblogs to hoard URLs. also sorry i'm just introducing this now, but that is what our usernames are called. because when tumblr was more desktop-oriented, every blog was literally a Personal Website. so ya. we call them "URLs." anyway, if someone wants to hang onto a URL for later, they might save it on an empty blog. this usually pisses people off. a "canon URL" is when someone has a URL that is like One Word or a Company Name or a Fictional character. hypothetical examples: "ketchup" "burgerking" "lukeskywalker." these are highly rare, coveted, and you look cool as hell if you have one.

tumblr's /\/SFW policy (/\/ is an N. i've censored it.) is best described as ???. posts that are safe for work get marked as /\/SFW and hardcore p0rn somehow persists. in general, be very wary of posting even artistic nvdity (even though it is supposedly permitted.) never deliberately mark your own posts as Mature. this is essentially like walking directly into a bear trap and waving a big sign at tumblr staff saying "hey! make it so people can't find my blog and i'm far more likely to get banned!" also do not tag posts with "/\/SFW." too many of those will get your entire blog marked as mature (which makes your posts pretty much invisible to other users.) tumblr users used /\/SFT (/\/ot safe for tumblr) for a long time, but staff caught on. there is now no consensus and people use their own personal tags for it. just pick something and people will catch on and blacklist it if need be. (btw you CAN type whatever you want on this website. i am only censoring in the hopes that this will allow my post to appear in the tags. this isn't tiktok lol)

while it is possible to disable reblogs on a post, this is a very RECENT addition and most users forget it exists. as such, please use common sense. if someone has written a post about, say, how sad they are feeling because they got in a fight with their family... that's not a good post to reblog. a like would be better here, like a pat on the back.

we LOVE polls. we love them. they are like sports to us. most of them are popularity polls - who is the better character? but people also use polls for, say, making bug emojis "race" each other. or "lets build a cake." other people use polls to write poetry, or learn about regional differences, or even to draw a pen!s. if you tag a poll as "poll" it will most likely be seen and voted in, because users look in the tag to find buttons to click.

there is unfortunately a T3RF (this one censored specifically to protect my notifs lmao. 3 is E) presence here. report, block, ignore, move on. common courtesy for users to inform each other if one is accidentally reblogged from. it also helps to blacklist tags related to them to avoid them. use shinigam! eyes browser extension on desktop.

there is NO equivalent to reddit awards on this website. as the userbase hates the staff, it is considered blasphemous to spend your money on checkmarks, etc. - buying them as a gift for another user is seen as a hostile act. it's like receiving a "kick-me" sign. once owned, badges cannot be deleted. thankfully, tumblr now allows you to disable checkmarks and other badges from appearing publically. that said, some users also give checkmarks unironically to show appreciation??? and others buy checks for themselves???? so yeah. tumblr doesnt actually have a verification system - these exist to mock twitter and to make a quick buck.

tumblr blaze. essentially, tumblr has a system in place to showcase user posts instead of advertisements sometimes. this is done by the user paying money. the higher the amount, the more impressions. tumblr users can now also blaze OTHER PEOPLE'S POSTS. MAKE SURE YOU HAVE BLAZE DISABLED!!! blazing another person's post (without asking first) is seen as a hostile act. why? because most blazed posts result in rude comments from strangers who are annoyed to see the post on their dashboard. unless it's like, a cute picture of a cat. or something genuinely helpful. boosting your soundcloud or a selfie or a rant about fandom does not typically garner positive responses. you can blaze just like. watch out. and also always ask the OP if you want to blaze someone else's post. (there is a reason this feature is called "blaze pvp")

tumblr merch is also frowned upon, as tumblr staff steals ideas from the userbase and profits off of them without financially compensating or crediting the users. there was a meme on here, "vanilla extract", that tumblr turned into water bottles while the person who made the meme was having to fundraise to survive :(

BLOCK. LIBERALLY.

umm i think thats it for now. but like if you have questions feel free to launch them into The Void with some tags and users are pretty quick to help out! hopefully i covered some stuff that other ppl haven't

▼ Rules [Please read before interacting!] ▼

+ No Minors! Mod is 38 [She/Her]. The nature of this blog is strictly 18+ even in the non-sexual sense. No one under 18 interact, please!

+ NSFW is okay! This is an 18+ blog, though I won't always be explicit on responses [selective on smut posts, but exceptions are made if it's story-driven], but sexual and darker/violent asks or RP is okay! NSFW is tagged #alkaslewd and put under read more.

+ Violent/Dark themes are okay! This comes as a warning and a rule both that there will be violence and darker themes in some of my posts. I'm not always the best at marking these, but I will do my best to.

+ No Hateful Nonsense. Don't come in here with any OOC hateful comments or OOC drama of any kind. You can be as mean as you want to my OCs [though obviously keep extremely racist/homophobic/ect... stuff out], but keep IC to IC.

+ Post length varies. I'm okay with para-rps, dialogue-only, or short-rps as I'll often just mirror whoever I'm interacting with. I will be a tad bit slower at times since I do put art into each post drawn in the moment.

+ Will interact with anyone. Totally fine with interacting with anons, Canons, OCs, other fandoms [selective, I prefer Hazbin/Helluva, but not against fandoms I know some of], and all of the above. As long as you are 18+ then have at it.

+ Selective para-rp. I will respond to everyone when it comes to asks and short back and forth, but I am selective on longer para-rp reblogs! I only do it with mutuals, but it also depends on the story setup and characters. I'd prefer to know your character before impromptu attempts (either be a canon character or if you're an OC let me get to know your character first to know what I'm getting into).

+ Pairing is okay. It's okay to pair up Alkas or Floo with Canons or other OCs as long as it happens in RP, but one-sided pining is also good.

+ Follow basic etiquette. Just the usual, be OOCly respectful to those involved, don't reblog RPs you're not involved in, no metagaming or godmoding, etc...

+ Anyone is welcome in verses! Even though I have four separate storylines on Alkas, anyone is allowed to interact still with each verse as they see fit! They are merely divergences of the main storyline where big plot points happened. Unrelated posts will be tagless if not asked to be in a verse.

+ Have Fun! The one running this blog has very little limits on themes, so go ham and have fun interacting with Alkas or Floo no matter how mean or nice you wish to be to them.

Intro post!

(breast cancer awareness post here/the legends of tumblr here, variations here and here , alt link for number 7/arch nemesis Cynthia here) [the two topics are wholly unrelated]

HII!!

My name on the internet is Dandelion, but you can call me whatever you like honestly. It's so hard to find a good name around here, the fae keep stealing them

I use any pronouns, online people default to they/them, IRL people default to she/her, you can use whatever you feel like!

I'm aroace 🧡💛🤍🩵💙 and my gender is up to interpretation lol

I'm 17 and I live in France but I have both French and American citizenship (so i do speak both french and english)

I'M A YEAR AWAY FROM BEING AN ADULT HELP

I have both scoliosis (diagnosed, 45°) and probably dyslexia (not officially diagnosed but all the internet tests I did were screaming at me to go get an official diagnosis- as has life lol) and those two really hate each other who deCIDED SCOLISOIS SHOULD BE SPELLED THE WAY IT IS (if i spell it correctly be aware that either I copied it from somewhere, or i thought about it for WAY too long, or it was a monkeys on keyboards thing)

I also probably have some form of undiagnosed neurodivergence, i think autism and some hints of adhd :)

I created a blog just for reblogging shit (aptly named @dandelionflowery-reblogs) but i suck at tagging stuff on most of my accounts 😭

I'm not often super active on here, at least not regularly, mostly because I have way too many classes but sometimes I go absolutely insane and spend like an entire day on here (oops)

actually i'm most active on here I think now lol

~~☆~~

I like:

- Harry Potter (Drarry, Deamus, Romione, Linny are my main ships but there's a decent chance you could get me to like a specific portrayal of just about any pairing lol) [also fuck jkr]

- The Marauders (WOLFSTARRR! Also Jily and aroace Peter and maybe Remadora. Same thing as before: open to other pairings [I know of and appreciate the ships with the girls but usually I'll lean towards the first ones mentioned actually I'll lean towards wolfstar with background Jily and aa battery Peter)

- Reading and books in general

- Fanfics, fanart!! (Both writing/drawing them and reading/simping for them)

Speaking of which, I have a side blog that's actually technically marauders themed! @mybrain-fanficedition

- Interactions on here!!

- there's probably some other stuff I like but I can't think of anything rn

~~☆~~

I don't like:

- Following from above, I said I was open to pretty much any pairing, ... I lied lol

Idk what jegulus did to me but i just don't like it for some reason (jegulily? lovely. jily? fantastic. jegulus? less.)

- Also the usual list of if you're pro-genocide, homophobic transphobic uh racist, pedophile or just a generally mean person

~~☆~~

I like talking to people even if you don't know what to say just say hi!

Also I have other social media, come find me if you want!

@/flowerydandelion, @/dandelionfloweryart and @/wands.swords.and.books on Instagram!

On Ao3 I'm like 90% sure it's DandelionFlowery and uh probably similar usernames on Discord and Reddit [though I'm not often active on there]

Wait if I link my ao3 that means i need to actually post my fics lol

Leave comments if you read my fics, I love feedback!! (or just leave kudos, it makes me irrationally happy lol)

tags about my current wips featuring really bad summaries:

#third time's the charm- Lily

(not going to be the actual title i think but first i have to write it, we'll worry about titles later)

Lily decides canon sucks and she's going to do something about it

woah i wasn't lying when i said really bad summaries

> Canon happens once, and Lily watches over her son from the afterlife. When canon gets to the scene in DH where Harry gets to see his parents again, something happens and Lily finds herself back in the past, reliving her life from Harry's birth on. She plans, dies and learns. The third time, she's ready.

#our broken hearts- an ode to wolfstar (this one is subject to change bc that title is way too sappy for me)

Sirius dated Peter. And Marlene. And Lily. And James. And then Remus?

>Originally this started in the tags of some post and i mentioned Sirius x Peter, and it blew out of proportion.

>Sirius spends many years finding out who he likes, and ends up with Remus after a lot of experimenting.

Riddle's Fairly OddParents Navigation

A comprehensive navigation post for my FOP AUs and lore.

⭐ I mainly write relationship studies, angst, dramedies, dark fantasy, and magical realism. Many of my works are Gen with limited focus on romance, though when romance is present, it's explored in depth via relationship studies, slow burns, and adjusting to life together.

I welcome Asks about my projects, even those I don't post about often.

AU Guide || AO3 Series Link || Blog Tag

G and T works with a few E-rated alt versions of certain story events

AU Theme: Tying a wide range of lore from the 2001 series together to create worldbuilding that remains as consistent as possible across all seasons.

- This is my main AU, which I began work on in November 2015. Most of my posts and 'fics fall under this umbrella. - Canon-compliant with the 2001 series apart from a few tweaks to fix blatant contradictions (Ex: Early canon about characters and their relationships outranks "The Fairy Beginning") - This AU focuses mainly on the magical worlds (Fairy, Anti-Fairy, and Pixie World). There are several human story arcs too. - H.P. and Anti-Cosmo raise Talon in this AU. - The Oh Yeah! cartoons (Season 0) are semi-canon to this series. The Grow Up, Timmy Turner movies, Fairly Odder and A New Wish spin-offs are non-canon. - Prior July 2024, these works were under the label Riddleverse Classic.

🌃 City Lights AU

AU Guide || AO3 Series Link || Blog Tag

Range of all ratings; more E content than Cloudlands AU (Abuse & sexual themes)

AU Theme: Works themed around A New Wish. This AU is inspired by the first season of ANW, but not canon-compliant with it. However, all pieces within it are compliant with each other.

- This AU branches off from Cloudlands AU after Season 10's conclusion. - This AU focuses little on the magical worlds. Instead, humans are the focus (Especially in regards to trauma and growth). - This AU ignores much of A New Wish's take on magic and Fairy biology. It draws from the Cloudlands AU magic lore, apart from allowing Poof and Foop to age quickly. - Minor changes separate City Lights characters from their Cloudlands selves. The only ones I currently plan to make sideblog bios for are Peri and Irep as they are significantly different from Cloudlands Poof and Foop, but I'm happy to answer Asks if you're interested in the other characters.

🗄️ Reedfilter Rules AU

AU Guide || AO3 Series Link || Blog Tag

Mostly T and M works (Sexual themes)

AU Theme: As opposite as possible from Cloudlands AU without blatantly contradicting 2001 series canon. In this world, H.P. and Sanderson are both half-wisp, friends, and unrelated. H.P. killed the previous Head Pixie and Anti-Cosmo overthrew his older brother.

- This AU focuses on worldbuilding for Pixie World and Anti-Fairy World. - Canon-compliant with the 2001 series - H.P. and Anti-Cosmo raise Talon in this AU. - I drafted works for this AU in early 2016, but don't post about it often (as its plot points are sexual and I try to keep it off to one side). The main work for this AU is the aptly-titled multi-chapter Reedfilter Rules, which gets the cleaned-up versions of my early drafts. -> M version on AO3, T version on FFN

👑 King Me AU

AU Guide || AO3 Link || Blog Tag

Currently hosted in the 🖤 Off the Rails series

T ratings expected; possible M ratings too. Some innuendo and sexual themes

AU Theme: Anti-Cosmo fled Anti-Fairy World as a child to escape his abusive mom and has lived with H.P. ever since. Everything changes when he's married to High Countess Anti-Wanda.

- H.P. and Anti-Cosmo raise Talon in this AU. - Canon-compliant with the 2001 series - Anti-Cosmo has conversion disorder and can't fly.

🍼 Little Imperfections AU

AU Guide || AO3 Link || Blog Tag

Currently hosted in the 🖤 Off the Rails series

T ratings expected; possible M ratings too

AU Theme: Pixies have haplodiploid biology. H.P. is raised like a queen bee, meaning his one role is to live a supervised life, have many kids, and raise the next generation of pixies. At least Sanderson is there to help... and maybe introduce to him to raves.

- I don't have plans to explore it beyond Little Imperfections, but it does exist. - Canon-compliant with the 2001 series

Sometimes I call it Happy Dip AU because it's shorthand for haplodiploid and is funny out of context.

🌑 The Pivotverse

AU Guide || AO3 Series Link || Blog Tag

Currently hosted in the 🖤 Off the Rails series

T and M ratings expected (Violence and abuse)

AU Theme: The alternate universe Foop dropped into after "Playdate of Doom," where he met twisted versions of his parents who openly abused him.

- Foop's alt personality (Hiccup) is withholding most of these memories from Foop (Cloudlands AU). - I don't have plans to explore it beyond Identity Theft, but it's referenced in discussions of Foop's childhood.

🧩 A.J.'s Puzzles

AU Guide || AO3 Link || Blog Tag

Currently hosted in the 🖤 Off the Rails series

Rated G

AU Theme: During "Fairy Idol," Timmy considers A.J. his best friend, so Norm goes to college with him instead of falling into Chester's hands.

- The only work planned for this AU is a 10-chapter story called Pulling Your Puzzles Apart. - Outlined before A New Wish, so my version of A.J. differs from theirs.

🧭 Red and Gold

AU Guide || AO3 Link || Blog Tag

Rated T for teen emotions

Currently hosted in the 🖤 Off the Rails series

AU Theme: Instead of growing up together under the Pixies' influence (as they do in Cloudlands AU), Gary and Betty only meet during their summer job at the Learnatorium.

- I have a few snippets from this AU, but it's very low priority (and probably won't have its own 'fic); it exists mostly as a reference for how living with the Pixies changed them. - Canon-compliant with the 2001 series - It's very important to me that you know Gary's in a bike gang.

Hey Hey!! Was just wondering if you had any tips for getting started on tumblr - also love your stuff :D

okay so first of all thank you for the compliment. now on to the long ass post of me analyzing tumblr for you

first tip: your dash (short for dashboard, the main body of the site, what you see when you first open the site) will 98% be posts from you and people you follow. if you do not reblog or post things, other people's dashboards will be empty, and the posts will never reach other people. this is why everyone advocates for reblogging posts! tumblr may be a broken mess of a hellsite but its the single most functional site when it comes to keeping the algorithm away. nowadays there is a for-you tab, and blazed posts (posts people pay to show up on other dashboards), but when you first log in to the tumblr dashboard, the majority of posts you see are because THE PEOPLE YOU FOLLOW put them there for you to look at. so do not hesitate to reblog things. if you have a specialized aesthetic or a themed blog, make a sideblog dedicated to reblogging random bullshit you like. here on tumblr, WE are the algorithm. we all have to do our part.

second tip: tumblr is super fandom-oriented. this is the fandom site. original works do not get as much traction here compared to already popular content. if your plan is to make it big as a comic artist or an author, I suggest you build an audience first, doing fanworks of things you like. once you've found a niche and a supportive following for yourself, its okay to branch out and introduce your own original content. subject your followers to your own blorbos, force them to look at your special little guys. from what i've seen, once people are used to your content, a majority will be more accepting to learning about your ocs. i know for a fact that i have gotten people into fandoms they have not followed me for. it becomes a community moment--OUR hyperfixation. but, i suggest starting by finding a place in a fandom community first, and getting your foot in the door.

third tip: please for the love of god, use tags correctly. like i said before, there is extremely little algorithm here. putting your posts into popular, vague tags does not work, it just makes people frustrated. when i search a tag on tumblr, i should ONLY see posts regarding that tag. the search function barely works as it is. if a character is not mentioned on the post, do NOT put their name in the tags. you're just bloating the tag with unrelated shit and drowning out the actual content. and you do not want to be that guy. extra point for the third tip: it's considered more polite to add comments in the tags than in the body of the post. people on tumblr like to read tags for compliments or silly comments :) its like finding a nice treat that was hidden. full sentences in the tags are a-okay and encouraged!

fourth tip: don't get discouraged when your works that you've spent hours upon hours on get ignored, and the shitty joke post you made at 4 AM blows up with thousands of notes. that just happens here. sorry.

good luck sorry for the long post <3

Rating TV shows, books, movies, and comics based off their geologic accuracy.

Thinking of rating every media I watch based off a scale of how much geology is in it and how accurate it is.

0/5= no geology mentioned and would have benefited from more geology

1/5= no geology mentioned but it wouldn't have made a difference

2/5= a geology sprinkle

3/5= geology was present! but maybe a little inaccurate

4/5= geology was present and accurate

5/5= plot revolving around geology

This series continues by the validation of a single person and so Today I will rate!

I Shall Master this Family

It has been some time since I have read the manhwa and light novel of this series, in all honesty. However, I remember two different geological incidents that I recall feeling feelings about, so I will talk about those today. Being completely transparent, reading this story was what really made me think of the idea of doing writing guides for writers on my main blog, because I wanted more media I consumed to be this good.

But first ratings before spoilers 4/5! Geology was present, and it was accurate!

Now for spoilers, there are two particular incidents that involved geology, the first was a talking about mines, specifically about iron mines and their significance in power struggles! Yes, YES. While the main character herself does not deal exclusively with the mines, there was this overarching idea that lingered that geology can drive economy and politics! It was minor, but I genuinely feel like talking about resources like iron and stone and other crafting materials gets incredibly overlooked in fantasy works by things like diamonds and gemstones.

Second, there was a landslide! and how was the landslide caused? DEFORESTATION AND EXCESSIVE RAINFALL. Exactly how landslides happen in most causes. This made me positively giddy, they even called in a geologist for examine everything, and that's another thing that made me super excited. A lot of times in tv shows and other media they will use the blanket statement "scientist" which really is too generic of a statement for it to really mean anything or even worse they will call upon the wrong scientist to do the job (mostly documentaries do this). This story does a really good job in doing research to understand what they are talking about, and it showed and allowed me to have a really good experience reading this 5/5.

Other general notes on why I really loved this manhwa that are unrelated to geology. The Art, beautiful and amazing, but specifically the dresses, Italian renaissance theme through and through. Again, the research was impeccable and while they did make artistic choices (like loose hair and stuff), but you could see that it was an artistic choice and not ignorance. And lastly, the dad wasn't an asshole.

(But also historical romance manhwa, regardless of how repetitive the plot might be are my guilty pleasure!)

[elacular-kink]

I should probably make one of them pinned posts

Here at the top, have some links: All my writing on this blog. All of my kink writing on this blog. All of the one (or two) offs. My longer hic story, Poly-techhic. My Ao3. Not everything there is posted here and vice-versa, but there is crossover (lol).

Having said all that, hi, I'm Eli the trans guy and this is my hiccup fetish blog. Here I will be watching, reblogging, and occasionally posting my own writing about hiccups. Said writing will almost all be about girls who like other girls and hiccups, but I'm not opposed to writing about guys or people outside the binary, I just don't tend to do so without prompting.

No interactions from minors, since this whole blog is pretty fuckin' explicit, or at least won't shy away from explicit stuff.

Anyway, here's what we like here (will be edited as needed).

Main Thing: Hiccups!

Hiccups are my fetish. They're central to my experience of sex. So that's what everything around here is gonna be centered on.

Side things: Kinks!

I have a lot of things I like, both related and unrelated to hiccups, so you might see these around. I try to tag extra kinks as I use them. Will be edited and updated as needed.

Actual Sex — Yes I consider this a kink for me: something I like and nice to have, but not always wanted or required.

Bellies — Body focus will be heavily on these. And on a related note, Stomach noises

Burping — Occasionally fun to have mixed in with/connected to hiccups.

Embarrassment — Oooooh yeah. Pairs very well with my main thing.

Teasing — See above. Not sure this is specific enough though.

Stuffing — Fun way to cause hiccups.

Inflation — As above, but sillier.

Vore — As above but more absurd. Haven't written much of this yet, but it's definitely possible.

Weight gain? — I'm a little hesitant to put this under kinks, it's more of a theme I guess? Of fat characters having anxiety about their weight and the characters who love them telling them that's stupid? But I wasn't sure where else to note it.

Voyeurism/exhibitionism — I'm including public kink stuff under this.

Various BDSM stuff — My characters may fall into more dominant/submissive roles, tie each other up, and at some point may wind up with an injury or two due to sexy-type stuff.

Furries — I'm just as happy writing furry characters as I am writing human ones.

I'm theoretically open to requests, but extremely bad at writing about things that my muse doesn't pull me into, so I absolutely don't promise responding to them with much, though I may try to do at least a drabble. On a related note, I have very irregular bursts of creative energy and inspiration and not a lot of control over where I put that, so for the most part you'll get what I write when I've written it, and I can't promise any regularity or predictability.

Having said all that, welcome to the blog, folks.

Guess who is setting up a blog for our systemmmmm!!!

It’s not Luci, BUT it is the two other members of the system who help run Luci’s blog!

We are currently working on making an intro post, but @jazzyandtheduckband (if it’ll let me @ it 😭) is up!

Give us hopefully by the end of today or tomorrow and we should have our intro post done!

What’s the blog for?

It’s a place where we can be out of character but still have fun! We wouldn’t be having to do the Lucifer theme and can reblog and like stuff unrelated to the theme of this blog

When sharing stories on Tumblr, what makes for good tags to put on them?

Well, that depends. And there's likely people who do a lot of original writing on Tumblr who may have different answers, but:

I have a specific writing tag I use for both original and fanfiction ("Lyn Writing") as it helps me find things in my archive/blog search, and if folks are using those auto-tagger addons that just copy your tags, or the auto-copy of tags in mobile or other addons, it doesn't put "my writing" on their blog (which I get annoyed by).

For fanfiction, I'm going to tag the main fandom tag, and any relevant characters. Things like specific seasons, episodes, expansions, books, etc as necessary, especially if spoilery.

For original fiction, I might have an "original character" tag. If it's stuff I'm going to repeatedly post I make tags for specific OCs (or places, concepts, etc original to my writing). Usually in that last case, it's again a housekeeping method to make searching my own blog easier.

For either, there might be genre, general themes, ideas, concepts, or warnings I feel might be needed ("poetry, horror, romance, hope, names, family, violence"). Maybe some jabber commentary ("in which I try to write silly songs, OC just wants to take a nap"). If it's for a writing challenge or prompt that gets added, too, especially if the organizer has a requested tag or two to use ("DWC2024"). Sometimes I might use some Ao3 methodology to determine a few things (ratings, relationships, warnings, etc).

In the end, it's not too different from other posts one wants to be able to find, and/or tell people at a glance what's in the work, and what Searches it pops up in. For the question of "how easily do you want to find things on your own blog later," consider if you are keeping links on a page or post somewhere (also back up your work elsewhere always), and how easily do you want others to find your original stories? Do you have a specific writing tag on your pinned post or in your description?

Words and phrases in the body of a work, as well as in the tags, will pull up in the Search. Don't use tags (especially fandom tags) unrelated to one's work; that's a quick trip to "Blocked and Reported as Spam."

I also recommend anything over (my personal limit of) 500 words go under a cut. It's a delicate balance of "get people to read" when that's already difficult, so gotta hook them to hit that "Keep Reading" link, or stretch out dashes and annoy people who then scroll past (or block you or the post).

Original stuff likely won't be noticed often. The folks who do get noticed tend to have larger followings already, and/or are posting their stories as replies to writing prompts to start and getting noticed when folks trawl the notes of those posts.

A lot of it is, frankly, luck, and who reblogs to show a wider audience and then if any of them read and reblog, and so on.

So figure out the tagging scheme that works for you, link to friends and in Discord servers you're in, and reblog yourself a few times to catch followers with different timezones. Know only original posts show in the Search, not reblogs (even a reblog by OP). Write and post for the fun of it and keep expectations realistic so far as wide recognition, but honestly in the end, somewhat consistent posting, with consistent and clear tags, will slowly grow an audience over time.

guilty as charged (mun edition) // accepting // anonymous asked . . . Have you ever unfollowed a blog? What were the reasons?

All the time LOL. Most often I unfollow unactive blogs, typically blogs that have been inactive for a year or damn near it. Why do I bother? Because sometimes I'll notice my dash is very slow and I'm like "daaamn I've got [this many] followers... how come nothin's happenin?" Then I realize oh wait, a lotta my mutuals became inactive lol. So softblocking them is a good way to gage how many active followers I actually have.

Other times I've unfollowed a blog just because I personally didn't vibe with the mun's ooc posts, or content they're putting out. Or, one time when somebody was just reblogging TOO many posts that were completely unrelated to their muse, and was just spamming the dashboard with unrelated fandom reblogs as if they were a personal or somethin. I don't mind a lotta ooc posts, but I do start drawing the line when my dash gets spammed with completely different fandom posts that aren't related to their muse in any way.

The most controversial time I unfollowed somebody, and this may kinda count as drama but not really, was this K.ingdom Hearts blog. For some reason, my Riddler blog took MONTHS to pick up. I mean, I had it for 4 months and couldn't get a single follow back or anything. I have no clue why - literally nobody wanted to write with me then. (Which is really bizarre, given that, I think at one point, it had 400 followers - many ppl started writing with me later). I'm gonna guess it's because my blog had dark themes / backgrounds. (I wrote my Eddie as a CSA survivor - this may be semi important later)

Anyway, a confession on one of 'em RP confession blogs was expressin' how sad they were that nobody was writing with them, I agreed with it too, also offering I'd write with 'em too. A KH blog came up to me and saying they were having the same problem. I was about to learn a big lesson in writing with them just 'cos I was sympathetic LOOOL. So basically I followed, and we kinda talked on and off for a couple weeks, we wrote a lil. But then their topics started getting ... weirder, horrible even.

Then suddenly, their posts got super fucking crazy. Like they BRAGGED about their tags were apparently QUOTES from the Columbine shooting and the Jamestown cult tragedy?! I didn't fuckin' know 'cos who would??? And like when I went to unfollow them, they were having a thread where the character casually threatens to rape his brother and it's like holy shiiiiiiiiiit. So of course, I hardblocked 'em for that clownery.

Unfortunately, I started getting anon hate on my blog (obvs from him). I got like 4 anon hates in a row - but I blocked the anon and well, that did that lol. Some of the anon hates were like "I thought you liked dark content..." and it's like yeah, when HANDLED WITH RESPECT LMAO. My character was written as a CSA survivor as a background, I don't actually write the fuckin' act out, it's just part of his story. And like, it's also there to show how male victims handle it, and how a lot of sexual abuse survivors tend to turn to hard drugs to cope with it. my BLOG HAD NOTHING THAT WAS GLORIFYING / USING TRUE CRIME SHIT & THEN HAVING MY CHARACTER THREATENING TO UGHGHHH. And like, I didn't call 'em out, didn't mention it on my blog. They can write whatever the fuck they want, I just don't want anything to do with that stuff lmao. So I blocked them.

Then I got one of their mutuals messaging me like "why did you block [user]? they thought you were good friends with them. they're really hurt :(" and it's like?? I kinda talked to them every now & then thru DMS, that's it. We never exchanged discords ffs, we were far from "friends" never mind good friends lmao. Also don't be wildin' on your dashboard, ppl are likely to become uncomfortable and unfollow.
