Hello, welcome to my blog! Where I draw often and ramble about my characters. Please know and respect that I have hyper-fixations, and may change what I'm interested in.

If the links don't work for you, click and drag them to your URL bar. You should be able to use them that way.

CHRONO LINKS:

If it was done correctly, THIS should be the main body of the story in one Chrono link.

General:

My Artworks

Comics (Mostly Non-ask)

Relating to the Original Mewtwo (Nicodemus)

Specific Story Focuses (Sorted Chronologically):

Lab Arc (HEAVY SUBJECT MATTER and IMPLIED DEATH WARNING toward the end!))

Pregnancy with the Twins

Midas and Monique

Lav and Mewtwo Meeting

Jerry

By Lavender's Hand (Randy's "Ghostification"--DEATH WARNING toward the end!)

Side blog dedicated to Nico and Jovie's story

Pokemon IRL Side Blog meant as a Slice of Life blog run by my Trainer, Jamie Wild Rennard.

Please read THIS If you're lost on their relations,and THIS for a rundown of Randall's situation.

My ToyHouse Characters page, where you can look at my characters' profiles! (A lot of stuff is a work in progress.) Names below also link to their specific pages.

My blog is home to the story Linden Roots. Randall Linden was once human, but through a horrific mishap, his memories were taken in by his friend, a Mew named Mo. Mo, having his own memories overwritten by Randy's, now lives Randy's life in his place.

Randy lives in Paldea with his shiny Mew Mate/Wife Akoya, her Mewtwo daughter Lavender, their twin Mew children Momo and Midas, and Akoya's half-brother Persim. Others in the household include Sulfur the shiny Lucario, Linda the shiny Roserade, Tol the shiny Chimecho, and Jerry the Pichu.

While he and his family are generally friendly and open to questions, Randy is sensitive about the events surrounding him becoming a Mew.

I do want to warn that this story touches on heavy and potentially uncomfortable subjects. I appreciate interaction, but please respect my artistic decisions. Thank you!

If you'd like to read the story of getting Akoya IRL, click here.

Voice Claims with samples here if anyone's interested. :3

This project is meant to be for fun, primarily my own. I will not be able to answer every question, and will prioritize the ones I find most fun, interesting, or an immediate concern. (Or, on some occasions, use answers as foreshadowing :3)

If anyone's interested, I also have a Twitter and a DeviantART, though I haven't been very active on them recently.

Because people have asked me before, I currently have no interest in doing commissions.

For my character references, click "Keep Reading"

The mod's 'sona/s:

NOTE: Randy has now transformed into his new look, so the old refs are largely obsolete. (Human form is physically the same except for his head.)

I plan to make some new, up-to-date refs for EVERYONE come 2024, but for now I'll throw in some makeshift refs for his new look.

(Old obsolete Randy here)

[pileofpawns]

Hello, my name is Turtle Johnson. I make posts so good, that I bring back the dead.

This is my introduction post! The bit above is just a reference to the Super Ghostbusters album by Vargskelethor - You can actually call me Plum! I’m your local turtle girl who likes to talk about silly stuff on the internet. This post is really fuckin long and you DON’T have to read it /gen

About me:

she/her pronouns please, though I don’t mind they/them or any turtle-themed neopronouns

You can default to feminine language when referring to me but I honestly don’t care what gendered language you use! I might not be a guy but you can call me one if it’s funny.

I am a cisgender woman

I am white

I am multiply disabled. I have physical, neurodevelopmental, mental, and sensory disabilities. I won’t bother listing everything here but notably I have ADHD and chronic pain from a mix of sources, and also might be autistic but I’m not confident enough to self-DX and I’ve yet to get professionally evaluated. So.

I’m aroace! (More specifically, sapphic-oriented bold stripe aroace. No romantic or sexual attraction whatsoever but women sure are pretty.)

I’m 18 years old

I’m a college student! Between classes and everyday life, I’m often super busy so the time I’m online varies wildly. Don’t worry if I disappear for long periods, and feel free to remind me if I forget about something.

I am alterhuman and a furry/scalie! My scalesona and main kintype is a three-toed box turtle. You can still call me a human, though. (I’m both!) The vast majority of my art is of anthro animals.

I do not have a DNI, but I do block freely. I don’t participate in internet discourse. Just don’t intentionally be a jerk and we should be fine. I am supportive of endogenic systems, multi-spec lesbians and gays, sex positivity and kinks, and human rights for all. Free Palestine, free Congo, free Ukraine, free Sudan, free Haiti!

I don’t have any kind of formal commission sheet or whatever out there but if you wanna pay me to draw something for you please reach out and we can figure things out!

About the blog:

I primarily post about my many interests and fandoms (see the list below). I also post the occasional art piece I make, talk about silly things in my life, queerness, disability, and alterhumanity, and make nonsensical shitposts.

I try to keep this blog accessible as possible but it is by no means perfect. Please let me know if you need anything to be changed, like adding image descriptions or tagging specific content warnings. I typically won’t add image descriptions to things I’m reblogging (I’m currently trying to get into the habit of tagging these as “undescribed” or “no ID” but the vast majority aren’t), but I do usually add IDs to my original posts. I tag common triggers such as blood, violence, death, unreality, and food.

Everything will be tagged for organization and so y’all can filter stuff. “plums art”, “plum rambles”, and “plum shitposts” are the tags i use for stuff I make.

This blog is generally SFW (there will never be anything explicit) but there might be the occasional mention of sexual topics, bit of crude humor, or slightly suggestive post, which will be tagged as such (“sexual topics”, “genital mention”, “genitals”, crude humor”, and “suggestive” are the tags to filter) so you don’t have to see it. Minors can interact with the blog as a whole as this is all extremely rare and I trust y’all to use your best judgement.

One of my old blog headers as well as the title of this post are references to the Super GhostBusters album by Vargskelethor. It’s very funny and I highly recommend you check it out. My URL is referencing a collection of OCs I have called pawns.

For reference, the character in my icon is my turtlesona, Tir! You can find more art of her and info about her under the tag #tir the tortle. She exists as both a direct representation of myself, and a D&D/fantasy character whose life is very different to my own.

I don’t do chainmail (i.e. “send this to 5 other blogs”, tag games) or posts asking you to reblog to show your support for something and the like (i.e. “reblog if aro people are valid”) even if the intent is to spread positivity.

Feel free to send in requests for drawings, fic, stimboards, or anything else through the ask box. Of course, you can also ask me questions there! If a question is more personal than I’m comfortable with, I’ll let you know privately, so don’t worry about being nosy.

Some things I like:

⭐️Turtles!! (and zoology in general to be honest)

⭐️Makin and appreciating art. I draw (digitally and traditionally), write, and dabble in other craftsy things.

⭐️Sonic the Hedgehog (mostly the games universe)

⭐️Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (particularly 2003, Mutant Mayhem, and Rise)

Video game history and trivia

Dungeons & Dragons

Magic the Gathering (very casually!)

Usagi Yojimbo

Tales from the Stinky Dragon

SpongeBob SquarePants

Rhythm games (Incl. Samba de Amigo, PaRappa, Rhythm Doctor, Rhythm Heaven…)

YouTube Poops (YTPs)

My Little Pony (G4 + G3)

Game Changer + Make Some Noise (Dropout shows)

Smiling Friends

Note: To be clear, there was period in 2023 where I was very hyperfixated on South Park. I don’t watch the show or really interact with the fandom anymore outside of a few friends nowadays. I’m well aware of all the problems SP has, so don’t bash me over my brain briefly latching onto a “problematic” show against my will over a year ago.

Other sites:

I post my writing to ao3 under PileOfPawns

You can talk to me on discord @ pickledplums (if you send a friend request please tell me who you are if I wouldn’t already know)

Sometimes I put things on YouTube @ pickledplums

What you can do with my art:

You can do pretty much anything with my art (visual, writings, or otherwise, including ideas that haven’t been made into “real” works) as long as you aren’t making money off of it or claiming it as entirely your own. If you use my art for something, please provide credit if at all possible. If and when I start selling my work, these rules still apply (meaning you can make your own merch instead of buying directly from me)

You can:

Make physical goods that include or are inspired by my art, like prints, stickers, buttons, and shirts, as long as they aren’t mass-produced and/or sold for a profit.

Modify my art by drawing over it, adding effects, cropping it, etc. as long as the intent is not to remove the watermark or signature. If you want something like this for a specific purpose, I’m happy to make said edits myself! I love messing with that kind of stuff.

Crosspost my art to other sites, with credit.

Use my art as your profile picture, social media banner, or digital wallpaper; as emojis or messaging stickers; as AAC symbols; in “edit” videos or similar content

Redraw/rewrite, be heavily inspired by, copy, or trace my art. (Seriously, go wild). You can seriously steal any of my ideas /genuine

🐢🐢🐢 That’s all!

Thank you for reading, and enjoy your stay!

update;

tldr: all i’ll be writing on this blog moving forward is mists of celeste. if that’s all you want to know about the status of both me and this blog, then you can stop reading here! i won’t be offended or bothered if that’s all you want to know!

however if you’re interested in a more in-depth explanation as to why i came to this decision then you’re welcome to keep reading to understand where i’m at.

why am i doing this?

there are multiple layers to why i’m taking this step. first off this is not a goodbye, as much as i’m sure many people are expecting that with how often i’ve been absent from this blog this year alone. one, i made a promise to myself when i very first started this blog almost 4 years ago that i would deactivate once i reached a certain milestone. since then, i’ve chosen not to deactivate and i think i will always leave this blog up as an archive even when the day comes where i will not be here or be posting anything here. i also have hopes and goals to finish mists of celeste and i think i will hit that milestone before i finish the story (maybe not anymore but, that’s beside the point). 

two, with being so close to such a significant milestone, i think there are certain expectations i have regarding my fics and the success of those fics. frankly, almost 90% of my following came from when i started writing for a.tz/s.kz, not b.ts. so it isn’t a disconnect in what people followed me for because i haven’t been writing for b.ts for several years by now. but even so, my fics still don’t do well. the reblogs mostly come from me, the feedback mostly comes from people who read from me regularly or mutuals, and the ratio of likes to reblogs is a never-ending issue that is never going to change. i’m grateful for anyone who stops to read and leave feedback on my works, and i am especially grateful to anyone who stops to read and leave feedback on my works that are not mists of celeste. and now with tumblr mucking up the tag system and preventing my works from being shown in the tags even when i do everything recommended, my works are going out to an even smaller audience that is not even 1% of my follower count. even with atinyblr being slow these days, i see other writers doing well and getting 500-1000+ notes with apparent ease compared to what i see on my own works. 

the shift in interest in the community has also affected me a lot. people are less likely to read a 10k+ fic that has plot mixed in with smut compared to a 1-2k pwp smut fic, which is fine. but that isn’t what i enjoy writing. and i understand that over time, i have lost the audience i used to have when it comes to writing that stuff. even for moc, barely anyone on the taglist i run with every update reads the updates. it’s an upsetting reality for me as the writer because i see my follower count go up and up yet my interaction and notes go down and down. which is primarily why i don’t like being here anymore to be frank. i have my friends from here but i talk to them off tumblr so i don’t feel a need or a compulsion to be here to talk to friends. i know that whatever i post won’t be received the way i wish for it to be received. and i now have this lingering fear that anytime i post anything at all tumblr will decide it shouldn’t show in tags at all.

and three, people are still dragging up things that happened in the past that i have tried so hard to move away from and want nothing to do with anymore. and belatedly, as much as i changed my url at the time, i realize that i won’t ever be able to fully distance myself from being involved in that in the past as long as i am calypso, hongism. i really hate that because i’ve had to come to terms with a lot of the bad things i suffered here on this website and in my real life relationships that were public here on tumblr, but i will always be known for my association with those things in a negative light.

what about your other series?

i won’t be writing them anymore! i appreciate all the love and affection given to them but frankly after blood masquerade i came to the realization that even if there are a lot of people interested in an idea, they aren’t all going to be interested in the final product. the ratio of votes to even likes on the fic itself was so grossly skewed that i found myself both baffled and discouraged to even continue writing it. aka; why am i putting so much heart and soul into something and not seeing an outcome that is balanced or fair? it wasn’t even an insignificant difference but rather something close to a 50+ difference in notes and votes.

will you ever change your mind?

maybe? maybe not? probably not. at some point in the distant future i might find myself wanting to go back to ideas that i had, like the wooyoung and san series i had planned for october this year but right now i have such a dismal and bad relationship with this blog in general that i don’t even want to think about posting anything here.

and one more note regarding moc:

i think i’m done writing interims. there has always been a disconnect in the readers of the main chapters versus readers of the interims, and i’ve always known that would be the case, but it is greatly disheartening as the writer to see such a divide on the work that i put my heart and soul into. so for now moving forward i just want to do main chapters and nothing else unless i feel so in love with an idea that i just have to put it out there.

overall i understand that this post as a whole is very moody and emotional and negative but i hope you all understand that this has been something i’ve been struggling with for the better part of a year here on this blog. i feel a disconnect and i feel no way to grab the ropes and tie myself back here the way i used to be here. even looking at other writers who have come up into the scene on atinyblr, i feel very lacking as a writer and i also feel a disconnect from them because i’m a writer who has been around here since 2020. it’s dumb to say that i feel ostracized in any sort of way but i do feel a bit distant, and i understand that in my attempts to curate a corner for myself on the internet, i created a very specific niche for myself in mists of celeste. i have always said that that is my magnum opus, and i still believe that to be the case. and at risk of sounding horribly arrogant, i feel i’ve isolated myself on an island that is mists of celeste and any time i try to broaden my horizons to do something outside of moc, it’s destined to fail. so for the sake of my mental well-being i need to step back and dedicate hongism to mists of celeste so that i can curb any expectations i might have had about other projects i wanted to do. 

so no, it’s not a goodbye, just a note that i’m slowing down and that the only thing i’ll be presenting to you all here on hongism moving forward is mists of celeste. it’s something that’s said a lot but it’s not something that i admitted myself until recently, but having come back multiple times this year with this mentality of ‘if i just push myself through this then it’ll be fine’, i now realize that if i don’t care for myself then how can i expect anyone else to care about me either? and i think i need to do this to care for myself and have a better mentality about my presence here.

[officialweezerelections]

I hear u want to hear about WEIRD ANIMALS yes?

Well have i got a WEIRD ANIMAL for you!!

(i know u know about this cause. Its a bird. And also was in the bracket if i remember right (to be fair ive been just a TAD confused as to wich bird poll blog this is ever since u changed ur url lol), but i dunno maybe i can give u some new info! And maybe not, but hopefylly you'll put up with me anyway!)

I give you-

(Drumroll please..)

The

BEARDED

VULTURE!!!!!!

Anyway this is my FAVORITE. BIRD. And more people need to talk about her!!!!

So first of all there's the main thing they're known for - being the ONLY known vertabrate whose diet consists mainly (between 70 and 90 PERCENT!!!!!!) of BONE!!!!!!

ALSO however! This bird is POSSIBLE evidence of non-human animal using COSMETICS!!!! Y'see, they are naturally mostly white in coloration, but they roll in iron-rich mud and dust, thus dyeing their feathers a rich red color! Interestingly, Bearded Vultures, a primarily solitary and somewhat territorial animal, seem to be more respectful of and submissive to others of their species who have more red to their feathers. Though it is worth noting, as these birds live in very high altitudes, that we havent been able to observe them in the wild enough to prove the connection between dyed hue and perceived dominance.

Also i seem to remember in some poll (genuinely cant remember if it was urs or not) the Bearded Vulture was beat by a bird whose main notable trait was commiting fratricide - something that the Bearded Vulture ALSO does! The mother lays two eggs, one egg hatches about a week before the other, and upon the second egg hatching one chick (almost always the older one) kills and eats the other. I dont usually share that bit cause it would turn a lot of folks off from my Favorite Bird Ever but it really bothered me how that poll went down lol (lighthearted) (not actually mad)

Anyway, uuuuhhhh i think thats it -

-WAIT!!!!! I just remembered something else about them!!!!!

So they eat bones right? And some bones are to big to swallow yeah? So, like any strong-legged bird would, they pick up the too-big bones, fly way up high, and then drop them on rocks to break them into edible peices.

Seems pretty normal yeah?

Well (allegedly) they also do that to turtles/turtles to access the meat on rare occasion.

Still not that weird? I completely agree!

However, (allegedly) a Bearded Vulture once killed a greek playwright by the name of Aeschylus by mistaking his bald head for a rock and dropping a tortoise on it from a great height!

Anyway yeah thats all the main things

Except you know, for their apearance

(Why are their EYES like that? Ive tried to look it up but cant find anything. Some of the PRETTIEST (round-pupiled) eyes in the animal kingdom tho, no question)

Anyways yeah, sorry if this is all stuff u already knew, but, uh. YEAH!!!

Thanks for letting me rant about my funky lil guy!!!

I DID KNOW ALL OF THIS ALREADY BUT I LOVE YOUR ENTHUSIASM AND I LOVED READING ALL OF IT AGAIN!!! Bearded vultures are so darn pretty. Also you can be genuinely bothered with how a poll went down, I’m still a bit upset with the results of my first bracket. (final girl showdown) 😔

I keep thinking of things I could add on but you’ve pretty much said it all! I guess I could say that the bearded vulture is a card in Inscryption? The power is equal to one half of the player’s bones. I like that little detail.

[bardicbeetle]

Writeblr Reintroduction!

So hey, it’s been a minute. (Read: several months)

A bit of a reintroduction is in order as I get back into this space that I miss very dearly.

Me: So I’m Larkspur, you might have known me as Jenna, or Dove, or tiredbard, or the Magician, any of those things really. But I changed my name a couple years ago, it’s Larkspur, hi! I like that one much better. I might change my url again at some point but that is still up in the air, I really like bardicbeetle. My pronouns are they/them/theirs (and I’m kicking around zie/hirs somewhere in my brain but we don’t have time for me to unpack that rn I’ve got too much else to deal with).

I’m in my mid-twenties, I write primarily character driven fiction, a lot of it focuses on the ideas of finding a home you truly belong in. My primary project (Safe in the Dark) has been in the works for well over a decade, and still involves vampires though kind of in a tangential plot device way and the focus is more on overcoming trauma and learning to love life again and how not everything monstrous is really the monster. My newer WIP, which still doesn’t really have a name but we’ll call it “That Witch Lives and Breathes” for now, is about an exiled hero becoming the village witch on a new planet and how you move on when the people you saved vilify you for it.

I post snippets of my work when I have them, reblog shitposts about writing, and sometimes very rarely make moodboards.

I also write fanfiction, specifically for Doctor Who, the Lost Boys, Kingdom Hearts, and most recently—2008 hit children’s mmorpg Wizard101. All of that can be found on my AO3 account under the username “oldestenemy” which is also the name of my fandom blog on here. I’ll probably reblog my wizard101 fic posts here, but keep posting them on my fandom blog, that just feels like it makes the most sense.

WIP introductions coming soon, and I’ll link them in this post when they’re up!

Safe in the Dark (contemporary fantasy/vampires) - Tag - Intro Post - bad CS presentation

That Witch Lives and Breathes (Sci-fi/Fantasy/a lil’ bit of horror) - Tag - Intro Post - bad CS presentation

Anyway, thanks for sticking around if I’ve known you a while, thanks for stopping by if you’re new. If you wanna catch up, introduce me to your new projects and characters feel free to send me an ask, or a dm, or tag me in a post. I have a lot of new snips to share once I get things on here in order. I love this community and I’m excited to be back in it.

[wip]

i have a couple questions about the newly announced but not yet implemented change where blogs with the default theme will have their URLs changed from [username] dot Tumblr dot com to Tumblr dot com / [username], basically making them dashboard only unless the owner of the blog toggles it off. (Might be important to note I use Tumblr primarily through Firefox on Android, so I normally have a desktop view instead of a mobile view.)

1. Will this effect the archive function in any way? (I.e. will I still be able to go to [username] dot Tumblr dot com / archive, if I click on a post within the archive will it take me to dashboard view or the original view, etc.)

2. When this change is implemented, will there be an option to not be redirected to dashboard view for blogs I do not own? This could also have an "always view is dashboard mode" toggle as well, which some people might like

The first question is very important for me because I go through a lot of very inactive blogs via their archives to find old fanart and fanfiction, and not being able to view the posts on blog and instead being forced to view it in the dashboard, because the blog owner doesn't use the blog or possibly even Tumblr anymore and therefore won't toggle the change off, would make my "blog crawling" very very infuriating.

Answer: Hey, @zackofcards!

To answer your first question: no, archives will continue to work as they currently do. Even if a blog has the “Enable custom theme” toggle flipped off, there are a couple of places where we won’t redirect the {blogname}.tumblr.com traffic, and the blog’s archive page is one of them. The submission page is another since there’s no way to submit posts from within Tumblr’s web app (yet).

It’s a different story if the blog has the “Hide {blogname}” toggle flipped on, but this is a separate privacy setting that is always off by default. Blog archives have been unavailable for these blogs for many years, though we hope to fix this soon!

As for your second question: also no, we’re afraid. If a blog has “Enable custom theme” disabled, you cannot choose to view it with a theme. I would hope that this isn’t too controversial, given that you already couldn’t choose to view a blog with a different theme than it has installed – for example, as much as I would love to see the Staff blog using Vision, I’m not in charge of choosing which theme the Staff blog uses, so I can only imagine it.

Hopefully, this information puts your fears to rest. We’ve been very careful about implementing this change, thinking about little things like this and trying not to break anything. The change is out to everyone now, so if you find anything that we missed, please send a support ticket to let us know ASAP!

Pinned Post

Intro

You can call me Zen!

I use they/them pronouns:)

I’m a very sleepy, very busy stem double major just trying to talk about their interests.

I’m also audhd!

Current Status: grumpy and still recovering

Current predominant interest: kotlc

Request a frog (🐸) in my asks to receive a frog sticker

My url is bc my previous blogs (readingdreamingscheming and cozywordz) broke :( Probably bc tumblr hates vpns. This was gonna be my last attempt at a tumblr blog, and I couldn’t think of other names at the time. Now I fear ppl won’t recognize me if I change it.

Things I may post about with varied ratios and intervals (ie: my interests):

Books/other media

Kotlc, riordanverse, toh, gravity falls, svtfoe, atla, heartstopper?, tuc, tlc, dropout?, tmbs (the mysterious Benedict society), thg and tbosas, Holly black novels, 36 Questions the Podcast Musical, The Great Comet of 1812, TIG, The Naturals, and probably more.

Honestly, this is mostly a book blog

STEM

mostly neuroscience, psychology, data science, plant stuff, and maybe some physics—also maybe academia

Neurodivergence and neurodiversity

primarily neurodevelopmental disorders, personal experience, and curious musings

Other

You also may get random thoughts, shit posts, ramblings, deep thoughts, and the product of curiosity-driven web searches

animal facts

Sometimes I add ids to posts without ids (I do it when I have time and can confidently describe them)

I also may occasionally post about world events.

What there will and won’t be:

There will be no p*rn or anything close to it. That stuff makes me uncomfortable, so please respect that boundary.

There will be swear words.

There will be no bigotry.

There will be liberal usage of the block button.

There will probably be a lot of Bippy frog stickers.

There will be spoilers which I’ll try to be better about tagging (I just don’t remember when things happen😭)

I probably won’t tag you in things unless I am tagged in something first!

I’ll try to add tone indicators when I think it might be unclear, but feel free to request I add a tone indicator or clarify my tone! Here is a list of tone indicators I may use (most common in bold) (working on making the post now!)

It has been drawn to my attention that ppl shipping me could become a thing. Please don’t :)

Disclaimer: I also have no obligation to respond to everyone and everything. I mean, yeah, I’ll try, and, yeah, I’ll get most, but, if you refer to the top of this post, you will see that I am 1) double majoring in two different STEM disciplines, 2) disabled, and 3) very tired. If you stick around here for a bit, you will realize there are more numbers and things I have going on, so I will not pressure myself to respond to everything, especially things that stress me out more than I already am.

[urfaveisroma]

Welcome to urfaveisroma <3 I saved this url out of spite, and if that's not pen then I don't know what is. This blog is primarily for celebrating and discussing Romani characters in comics, but I take submissions for Romani characters in other mediums and headcanon submissions, so long as they are appropriate.

তততততততততততততততততততত

Here are some basic rules and principles to follow. Failure to respect these rules and principles will earn you a block, so be mindful-

· If nai tu san gypsy then be quiet for the sake of devla [ie: gadje (non-roma) can follow and reblog my posts, but if you're going to be weird and racist, go away]. I do not strictly mind submissions/asks from gadje, but if you cannot be respectful, and if I find your submission/ask to be purposefully offensive, you WILL be blocked.

· Do not pester me with questions about Romani culture. Friends may come to me in private, but I do not feel comfortable answering to strangers on the internet. For one, it makes me uncomfortable because our culture is closed. For another, I am not an authority on Romani culture in every vitze and in every corner of the earth. We are not a monolith. If I feel the want or need to volunteer certain information to clear up misconceptions, I will.

· We use media literacy and critical analysis here, sir. Please do not come in my inbox and tell me a Romani comic character should not be Roma because they have been written stereotypically from time to time, especially if you aren't Romani. The fact of the matter is that characters of color across the board have been subject to racist and stereotypical writing on occasion. I do not advocate for the erasure of Romani characters' racial identities, just like I do not advocate for the erasure of any other nonwhite characters' racial identities. I advocate for the involvement of Romani writers, artists, consults, and sensitivity readers in the creative process for Romani characters in comics. I advocate for positive change, not negative change, and erasing what little representation we have in media is 100% a negative change.

All that being said, I’m not going to jump you if you make a misstep. Please don’t be afraid to send asks and chat with me because you’re worried you might say something wrong. If I feel that the mistake was made in good faith then I will correct it in good faith.

তততততততততততততততততততত

Some basic information about me:

I am a multiracial American Rom. My pronouns are he/him. I have not decided if I want to be public about who I am on this blog because I have been racially harrassed many times over for discussing Romani characters online, therefore I think maintaining some separation and anonymity on this blog will be beneficial for my mental health. If you must refer to me at all, you can call me chavo or Vic (yeah yeah kinnie moment, blah blah).

My favorite Romani characters in comics are Dick Grayson, the Maximoff twins, and (as you may have noticed) Victor von Doom- which...is basically every major racially Romani character in comics. I am very attached to them, so I love to be sent submissions/asks/posts relating to them!

[death-by-mercury]

@shades-of-tiefes-purpur 💖♥️💖 thank you my love for the tag, I always appreciate! Yesterday and today was rough so that’s why I’m late to reply…

Header: Silver Strand Beach 💚✨

Icon: Right now it’s just a photo of me in black and white

Description: currently it’s “Simona ❁ Is é Ruairí grá mo chroí ❤︎ ❤︎ ❤︎

I’ve cried enough tears to fill up an ocean, Surely you see that my world’s been broken”

-> my first name, Irish Gaelic for “Rory is the love of my heart” , and lyrics from Rory Gallagher’s Edged in Blue from album Calling Card (1976), one of my all time favourite songs ♥️.

Content: This blog is ancient, but I only started using it in 2020 and then it was a Queen (band) account primarily. Now it is a classic rock, blues, western/cowboys, nature and whatever else collection of things I love, I’m always on about my favourite things…

Background colour: Forest Green, one of my favourite colours along with sea blue

URL meaning: death-by-mercury, it’s my original url and I don’t plan on changing it. It originally was referring to Freddie Mercury (hence mercury), and really I just think it sounds cool. But it’s kind of funny if you think of it literally… death by (Freddie) Mercury… it’s supposed to sound kind of like “death by chocolate” or something I donno.

Blog Title meaning: “Damn the Torpedoes, Full Speed Ahead” I am referring to the 1943 movie, “The More, The Merrier” in which Mr Dingle repeats the line throughout the movie, although the quote is originally by Admiral David Glasgow Farragut… so there’s that, it’s a good movie, I recommend it :))

Full movie is on YouTube: https://youtu.be/NzvjYjVDHIY

->if you fast forward to 5:12 in the movie you can hear him saying rhe quote

hello! pinning this post for those coming across this blog. 

if you are looking for the previous direction of this url, please go to @rabbit-ina-trenchcoat! i recently changed it and am using this blog as a way to post some of my works! with that out of the way:

my name is lex or chris! you may use either for me, i have no preference.

my pronouns are he/him and xe/xer primarily, but i also use it/its.

i mostly write fanfictions about superman! mostly the snyderverse, because that happens to be my special interest.

i am also currently writing for 2001: a space odyssey, kim possible, and more. 

i do my best to appropriately tag my posts and my fics, but it can be difficult for me due to just. well im extremely forgetful. if you have a recommendation for a tag please let me know!

i have dyslexia! so there might be grammatical errors in stuff i write. i dont really like to edit my writing and i will not be taking criticism for such.

at this time i am not taking requests because i am about to start the school year, but once i get back into the groove i should be able to.

i hope you enjoy what you see if you stop by! my works can be found on ao3 (@/CatKidJekyll) and quotev (@/venomoussnake. also i am currently redirecting a lot of my quotev stuff so it might not be available when you come across this <3!)

hello! hope the rainy weather is treating you well.

if you're comfortable sharing - when you look back at the community you've built in the last few years, on tumblr/instagram/substack, how has it influenced you as a person (if it has)? did you face any burnouts while maintaining all of it?

also, any tips for someone wanting to start a substack but are holding themselves back because new things are scary?

have a good day!

Hello! I'm sorry I'm getting back to you so late, but I kept thinking about this and then life took over and I didn't know how to think about this. But I think have something for you now.

First off, thank you for calling it a community. I do like to think I've built a space for myself, and I'm always so touched by how everyone has responded to it. I also particularly like that whatever I do is primarily built on a Tumblr space, which has let me curate my internet experience in ways no other social media has.

I think ages ago I spoke in another context about how studyblr as a community makes me unreasonably happy because it's just a bunch of nerds who enjoy studying and academia, and that's really it. I probably would've ended up in academia either way, but it's so, so comforting to know there's a network of people also interested in academia, and especially history. I've made friends with people through here and through the instagram, and that's always been so great.

And then since about a year, this has stopped being a study blog and is a much more freewheeling space for whatever it is I'm doing or reading, and that has also been a lovely transition to live through. (More so, with the URL change). This has also been time when I've been working out ways to decide what life is, and this has been a nice drawing board of sorts.

On burnouts, yes, absolutely. Or maybe less burnouts but just needing some space. And I think that's okay, the tumblr, the instagram, all of it, they exist insofar as I want them to — and if on some days I don't, then I don't.

About starting a substack, just start. I went back and forth on mine for nearly a year before I actually started, and it took off only after I did start. I understand that it's scary, but nothing of what you do with it is set in stone: you can always switch things up. But you'll never know what you want it to be until you've begun :)

[objectosexual]

hey gamers, this blog is a huge WIP (and i might change the URL... we'll see) but for a basic intro/pinned post...

my name is carson, im in my late 20's, im gay and objecto. im also trans and use he/it pronouns

my main blog is @clippy + my selfship blog is @ohgodimyearning... consider this blog to be a companion to the latter (most of my F/O's are objects)

i also have a locked NSFW twitter account with similar content that can be found here (you will need to send a follow req to it tho, sorry!) -- keep in mind that it 1) doubles as a vent account and 2) does have NSFW images

this will also be a general animism/POSIC+ blog, tho please keep in mind that i primarily view those things through a lens of being romantically and sexually interested in objects... that isnt to say i want to fuck every object i view as having a soul, but wanting to fuck objects has essentially made me... aware of it, i guess. (that and im autistic so i've always had weird hyper-empathy toward objects)

my literal first crush ever was on Herbie (the VW beetle) so i have a huge soft spot for cars, but i also like other vehicles/modes of transit, robots/computers, toys, roller coasters, and buildings

i also like objectheads and i know those arent inherently an objecto/posic thing, the main one i care about is Cl*ckboy, whose design helps me Process my feelings for the real life object he is based on

^ i will go more in depth about this sort of thing in the future (i think explaining my "journey" with this part of my sexuality will help others who are "questioning" -- i used to talk CONSTANTLY about wanting to kiss cars on main and i've had ppl tell me i helped them connect the dots so. lol) but i currently am fighting w my body for energy so dont expect it soon...

THIS BLOG IS AN 18+ SPACE, MINORS PLEASE DO NOT FOLLOW!

I will block people with no ages in their bio (unless i already know you)! While i will not be sharing mature images, i will 100% be sharing sexually explicit/suggestive/etc text posts.

if i interacted with your post, and you're a minor or don't want NSFW blogs interacting with you, please let me know and/or block me! i wont take offense to you asking me to delete a reblog or being blocked. everyone's comfort is my priority, and i do my best to screen OP's of posts before reblogging to my sideblogs but sometimes i forget/miss things

anyway i think that's all for now...? i will start reblogging things here ASAP i think, but just know im kinda working behind the scenes and probably wont make many, if any, original posts until im a little more settled here

[pastel-cryptids]

Lowkey thinking about making a separate art blog bc a majority of my followers are most likely here for the stuff I reblog (Which isn't a bad thing btw! Just something I noticed). It'd probably make it easier for ppl who just want to see my art??? Which is rather presumptuous of me bc I don't think I have that big of an art following BUT THAT'S BESIDES THE POINT. Idk I have an art tag but I don't post enough art for ppl to primarily be following me for art — just having my latest piece pinned doesn't help.

The only thing holding me back is that I would change the url of this blog so that my art blog can have pastel-cryptids and ugh!!! That feels so wrong!!! But I want pastel-cryptids to be the "professional" title for my art,,, blogs??? Whatever??? So it's,,,, u g h.

Feel free to weigh in O_O

what does your URL mean, and why did you choose it?what is your blog or graphic aesthetic or motif? why?what fandom do you primarily favour?what genre do you primarily favour?what are your top five fandoms to RP within?what are you top five universes to RP within?what universe have you never even considered writing in, and why?

𝒂 𝒎𝒖𝒏 𝒂𝒔𝒌. 𝐚 𝐜𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐨𝐟 𝐚𝐬𝐤𝐬 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐦𝐮𝐧𝐬 𝐛𝐞𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐦𝐮𝐬𝐞𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐫𝐩𝐜.

what does your URL mean, and why did you choose it?

I liked Nikki Flores' music and heard the song during one of Kendall's solos on Dance Moms way back when, and I thought it fit a handful of my characters. My muses are pretty with tragic backstories in one way or another, hence the fact that they're all pretty tragedies. I've wanted to change it a few times over the years, but I'm too lazy to update everything, and I don't do well with change anyway, so prettytragcdies I shall stay, I guess.

what is your blog or graphic aesthetic or motif? why?

Honestly, I don't really have an aesthetic. I'm here to hone my creative writing skills and create stories that give myself and others all the feels. I couldn't care less about what blogs look like, as long as you can see, read, and locate everything clearly. I do prefer 100x100 icons and small text, though, if that counts for anything.

what fandom do you primarily favour?

Ha, have you met me? I prefer DALLAS over any other fandom out there, always and forever. It's my favorite television show of all time, my comfort show, etc. I love it so much.

what genre do you primarily favour?

I prefer angst most of all tbh. If it's an intriguing plot, some flangst can be pretty fun as well. Bonus points if the angst has to do with a pair of divorced exes or is between family members.

what are your top five fandoms to RP within?

Ha, pretty much a plethora of shows from the 1980's that like maybe three other people around here have actually seen. But yeah, DALLAS is definitely number one, no questions asked. Second would probably have to be 9-1-1, and third would be One Chicago. Fourth would be General Hospital, which I should probably just say soap operas in general. Fifth would be Grey's Anatomy, I guess. This would change greatly if there were actually people to write with in the ones I ultimately love the most, but I'll keep dreaming.

what are you top five universes to RP within?

I don't undstand how universes differ from fandoms, so until someone can stop by and properly explain this to me, I'm just going to say see the above answer. Oops.

what universe have you never even considered writing in, and why?

To be honest, I've never considered writing in the horror universe. Those type of movies and television shows simply don't interest me, unless someone I really love is in them. Like, Bonnie Bedelia in Needful Things. That movie wasn't scary at all. It was just gross in a couple of parts. But yeah, I digress.
