#why yes i changed my blog header before i even blogged this photo why do you ask

[godnectar]

Hey are you copying saelestia or inspired? You nearly have the same theme as her old one don’t wanna accuse you or anything

She had the same theme February 15th and now you have nearly the same theme February 25th with the pictures and everything

note: dunno why I took this message so seriously but still did

gonna be completely honest– I just woke up, it's 9 in the morning (early asf for me on a Saturday), and at first I had no idea what you are talking about or which theme are we even referring to 💀😭

So I went to search that blog, 'cause I srs didn't recognize it, and didn't see anything related, but then kinda found what you mean (which is kinda (much) crazy to me ngl) ⤵️

anon's first "point" 🫠 (y'all have the same theme, same pictures)

I'm guessing these are the themes you're asking about 🙃 and yes, they do have the same two pictures at the header 🙂 but can you really say that "you nearly have the same theme as her old one"?? 🙃🙃 please–

anon's second "point" 🫠 (bc 1st doesn't need any further explanation) (the dates)

"She had the same theme February 15th and now you have nearly the same theme February 25th with the pictures and everything"

yeah, she did make that theme on February 15th (from what I saw), but now guess when I made mine 🥴 JANUARY 13TH ‼️⁉️ again, please–

(second pic is a screenshot I made that day because I always save photos of my themes) (also, every time I change my theme, I reblog it. And yes, yes, the date is still January 13th)

my third actual point 🫠 (about the pics)

if you want an explanation as to why we have the same pictures– I dunno 💀

these things happen so frequently, my dear, that at this point, it shouldn't even be a surprise (and then get into accusations) that two or more accs have the same gif/fanart/banner used, because pictures get reutilized and reposted all the time

in this case, I had the inspiration and found this fanart on a pinterest pin that I'm currently trying my best to find (edit: here), and if saelestia or any other blog had the same idea from a mf pin that went viral, that's perfectly okay

resume bc wtf ���� (have nothing more to say)

please (dunno how many times I've said this word), please search nicely before sending this type of messages 🥹

I'm perfectly aware this anon hasn't said anything rude and that the question was redacted with a normal tone, but I still had the necessity to make this post so long for some reason I still don't recognize

point is that as much as the pics are the same, there was no theme stolen, nor copied, nor plagiarized 👍

Why did you choose your url?

Top 10 mysteries science still can't answer Honestly, idfk, it's just the first thing that came to my head when creating this blog. I'm thinking about changing it to be the same as my Origin ID, although I don't know how I came up with that one either so...

2. Any side blogs? If you have them name them and why you have them.

Nah, if you follow me on here you get subjected to everything I post.

3. How long have you been on tumblr?

I've been posting to this account since September 2021, but I actually made this account a couple months before that.

4. Do you have a queue tag?

No lol. I don't even have a queue going at the moment.

5. Why did you start your blog in the first place?

I made it mostly so I could share my Plumgo legacy challenge gameplay, lol (#rip).

6. Why did you choose your icon/pfp?

Idk, it's just a piccrew I made that vaguely resembles me.

7. Why did you choose your header?

It's a photo of the Grim Reaper playing on one of my sim's computer after he'd reaped her mum, which I thought was kinda funny. Idk.

8. What’s your post with the most notes?

Um, it's this one: https://www.tumblr.com/blog/view/chelseasanidiot/673333734186057728 (tbh, every now and then this post'll get a handful of notes all at once and I'm just like 'oh shit, oh fuck, what happened, and in what community??')

The most notes I have on a sims related post though is this one: https://chelseasanidiot.tumblr.com/post/669190134115254272/100-followers-gift-sim-dump-this-preview-is (shout out to Lorraine for reblogging it, at least half of the notes on it came from that, lol)

9. How many mutuals do you have?

A lot. I don't actually talk to many of them though :)

10. How many followers do you have?

440 (!!!) as of writing this

11. How many people do you follow?

672

12. Have you ever made a shitpost?

Maybe? I think the only non-sims things I've posted have been about my trainwreck mental health, which I don't think counts as a shitpost, but maybe it does?

13. How often do you use tumblr each day?

Too much. Far, far too much.

14. Did you have a fight/argument with another blog once? who won?

Uhm, I did make a vague call-out post (see question 8) about another simmer for being acephobic. They ended up deactivating, but I kinda cringe at myself every time I think about. So I guess I won, but at what cost?

15. How do you feel about ‘you need to reblog this’ posts?

Fuck off, I post what I want.

16. Do you like tag games?

YEAH!!!

17. Do you like ask games?

YEAH!!!!!

18. Which of your mutuals do you think is tumblr famous?

Um, I have a couple of followers who I happen to know are at least decently simblr famous. And tbh that's kinda wild cause, like, why are you following me? I'm just some guy, you know?

19. Do you have a crush on a mutual?

First of all, I haven't had a crush on anyone at all for, like, over 3 years now, so... (yes it is a major concern of mine, thanks for asking)

Oh, fuck, I've gotta tag people now, huh?

@autismtrait, @c-ookie, @plumbponette, @kimbr3 and I guess anyone else who wants to do this :)

HAPPY TUMBLR ANNIVERSARY TO ME

I'm still in tumblr jail.

Here's the letter I just sent to staff on their page where you can report that you've been incorrectly identified as an explicit blog:

My blog was marked explicit on October 10, 2021. I've sent requests for appeals and no one has contacted me.

INFO: On Oct. 10 I received a note I had a flagged post. It was for a post nearly 2 years before, promoting a book under my pen name. There was nothing in that post that went against tumblr guidelines. YES I used the hashtag "fluffysmut" to indicate the type of romance- two fools awkwardly fall in love and do have adult, consensual sexual relationships. But nothing about the post was inappropriate.

I click for it to be reviewed and less than 2 minutes later I get a response saying it was rejected and then my blog was marked explicit. I sent the repeal around 11:30 pm on a Sunday night, so I find it hard to believe it was viewed by a person- as your policy states.

Since then I've sent many requests to review the appeal. PLEASE LOOK AT MY BLOG. I post encouraging quotes, writing advice, and appreciation for all things Marvel. I promote other authors and creators of tumblr. The only thing I can think of since December 2018 that I have that could cause a "flag" from your algorithm are my tags such as "suit p0rn" and "plaid p0rn" which isn't even sexual in nature other than I think suits and plaid are sexy.

As a published author, I use tumblr to connect with my readers. I started sharing my writing here years ago and gained a following of readers who buy my books.

I'm requesting TODAY on the 6th anniversary of when I started my tumblr blog that a LIVE PERSON look at my blog. I was so excited that day to get started, and chose my icon. It's a cropped image of my favorite actor- the reason I came to tumblr. In 6 years, I never changed my photo or username. I'm proud to be avenger-nerd-mom. I follow the rules, and miss seeing my icon and header. Tumblr has been my safe haven as I worked through trouble spots in my marriage, the pandemic, and losing my mom. It's where I became creative again and shared my writing. It's where I've met my best friends- first on tumblr, then meeting in real life.

Tumblr is my happy place. Help me make it happy again.

TELL ME why I was "put in jail" and I'll delete any questionable materials, but putting me in a freeze mode when I see more questionable, pornographic posts every day is ridiculous.

Help me really celebrate my tumblr anniversary, staff. Review my appeal.

Sincerely,

Cass

avenger-nerd-mom

Here's to hoping today is my lucky day!

[princess-of-purple-prose]

Tagged by @thewrongshop, thank you so much!!

1- Why did you choose your url?

I'm gonna lay myself bare, here: I literally found it on a list of potential usernames I'd made when I was in SIXTH GRADE. None of them were good, but for some reason THIS is the one I chose 😭 In my defense, I didn't realize I'd actually use this sideblog when I made it, and by the time I realized I was more active on this than my main it was too late to change :')) I like to think I've gotten better at writing since I was twelve, at least!

2- Any side blogs?

Yes, three! This is one of them, and then I have another dedicated to just doing image descriptions and one more where I reblog art for fandoms I'm not but wanna appreciate works for! The latter is newer, it was just a saved url I had for a while before I decided I could use it to get over my guilt from ignoring great posts I had little to no context for

3- How long have you been on Tumblr?

Three years, I think?? WILD, it feels like it's been so much more

4- Do you have a queue tag?

I do, it's #that's my queue! Possibly not as witty as I thought it was when I conceived of it, but it serves me well! It posts three times a day and usually has a backlog for ten days (I actually get antsy if it dips below 30 posts, which is... insane, I think)

5- Why did you start your blog in the first place?

This was meant to be an overflow blog for Every Other Fandom I was in during my days as a hardcore Sanders Sides fan, but inevitably my obsession with that ran out, and now this is still that but with even more fandoms; my main is basically just funny text posts and videos now

6- Why did you choose your icon/pfp?

MOB PSYCHO SEASON THREE, BABY! I actually broke my no-characters-as-icons rule for Mob because I love him so much and was so excited :)

7- Why did you choose your header?

To be completely honest, it was the only aesthetic photo I could find that I liked and also went with my theme, but, aha, MP100 fans will probably recognize that there's a pretty mean reference there too

8-What’s your post with the most notes?

This silly post I made a few days after MAG174, I think!

9- How many mutuals do you have?

I had to do some math for this since I don't have xkit and can't check as easily, but holy heck 210!!!!!!! Hello all of you I love all of you so so much

10- How many followers do you have?

More than 300, less than 500!

11- How many people do you follow?

1210!

12- Have you ever made a shitpost?

I've made a few dumb posts, sure, but I don't know if any count as shitposts per se

13- How often do you use Tumblr each day?

Too often 😭 I'm on it basically all the time and it's bad

14- Did you have a fight/argument with another blog once?

Absolutely not, just the idea stresses me out

15- How do you feel about “you need to reblog this” posts?

They raise my hackles, I don't reblog them or "reblog for good luck/X thing to happen" posts

16- Do you like tag games?

They are so much fun, I am just terrible at answering them :') Case in point being that I literally did not see this in my activity and only found this by accident. I also don't like adding on to very long chains, so if I get tagged in one I generally am filled with awe and affection for the person who tagged me and then do not respond

17- Do you like ask games?

Basically the same answer! I don't always do them because I can get overwhelmed with the feeling that I need to be as witty and personable as possible with each answer, but they're fun!

18-Which of your mutuals do you think is Tumblr famous?

I don't know who is and isn't, but I personally think all of them should be :) Minus the many many cons of being Tumblr famous I mean

19- Do you have a crush on a mutual?

No, but there are many I'd like to send hugs and/or kisses to :)

Tagging @rosie-with-knives, @exactlyonebraincell, @coulson-is-an-avenger, @maxwellmybeloved, and anyone else who'd like to participate!

Tumblr tag game

Thanks so much to my loves @kingkyks and @too-multifandom-to-function for tagging me! I love these ask games so much! I love you both so much! 🥺☺️

1. Why did you choose your url ?

I chose this url when Ney first signed for PSG. It was such a special time and I will never forget how warmly he was welcomed to this team. In the press conference on the day he was presented as a PSG player, Ney said “Paris est magique” // Paris is magic. He then proceeded to laugh and run off. So that’s how I got my url! It was just such a precious moment, maybe I will look up the video and try to post it.

2. Any side blogs ?

Nope! ❤️

3. How long have you been on tumblr ?

I have been on tumblr since 2014 because during the 2014 Brasil World Cup, I absolutely fell in love with Neymar and football so I made a tumblr to join the football fandom. I had a old blog when Ney played for Barça and then in 2017 I made this one. But in 2017 I left tumblr for a while. Finally, in 2020 when my heart was crushed by PSG losing the ucl final I came back to this blog so that I could have company in my misery. And the rest is history baby.

4. Do you have a queue tag ?

Nope! ❤️

5. Why did you start your blog in the first place ?

I wanted to start fresh with a new Neymar Jr/PSG/Brasil NT blog because although I met amazing and sweet Barcelona fans, their fandom became a bit toxic for me especially when Ney left in 2017. It made me sad the way they would speak about him which is a big reason why I left tumblr for a bit around that time.

6. Why did you choose your icon/pfp ?

Okay so I remember this photo perfectly! It was in summer 2020 when the players came back to France to play matches after the first quarantine and I was so excited!!! I just love this photo so much, I love it when Ney smiles so big and bright like this and his eyes get all scrunched up. I just love to see him smile, and I love it when he’s happy and healthy, I thank God for his smile, health, and happiness. Ney is just so precious!

Although I love this picture so much, I think I want to change it soon but I’m hesitant to because icons are like identifiers. Honestly I don’t think I’m going to change it for a while though.

7. Why did you choose your header ?

I chose this one because it is just absolutely gorgeous, have you seen it?! I love it and I’ve always dreamed of going to Paris. It is also a photo from our win against Dortmund in 2020 when we qualified to the quarter finals. This win and this day is one of my favorite memories as a PSG fan, it was such a special time.

8. What’s your post with the most notes ?

I am not sure at all honestly, I think it might be the post about Leo Paredes and Ney sharing a blanket and watching a PSG match together at Ney’s house. It was such an adorable moment, this team is really such a family and I love them all so much!! 🥰🥰☺️❤️

9. How many mutuals do you have ?

Hmmmmm I’m not sure, I would say about 5! But I love my entire little PSG family. You all have my heart.

10. How many followers do you have ?

93! Almost 100! But it’s not about followers, tumblr is just a really nice safe place to express myself about the what I truly love. And I have met some of the most amazing people on here! Like my best friend @too-multifandom-to-function ❤️❤️

11. How many people do you follow ?

I follow 79 blogs and before I follow someone I always make sure they are at the very least neutral about PSG and Neymar and don’t say nasty things about them because that honestly makes me really sad.

12. Have you ever made a shit post ?

Um I do not think so, I usually just rant about football related things that make me upset in some way. I guess that sort of counts as shit posting. 😅

13. How often do you use tumblr a day ?

I don’t know the exact amount of time but I like scrolling through tumblr a few times a day to check the out what’s going on in the football world. I also love coming on here to talk to @kingkyks !❤️❤️

14. Did you ever have a fight/argument with another blog ?

I have had a few disagreements as I am very defensive of the people and things I love. So when people just unjustly attack Neymar or PSG or any of our players I usually get upset. Most times I let it go because I don’t like to be mean and I think energy is better spent by sending love to our players. But sometimes I’m like nah baby it’s on and I have to say something and defend my boys.

15. How do you feel about the ‘you need to reblog’ posts ?

I really dislike those posts, I feel like people are already so anxious, so why make it worse by getting into their heads. Plus it’s just annoying.

16. Do you like tag games ?

Yes I love tag games, I think they are so fun. Also I love it when think of me and tag me!!

17. Do you like ask games ?

I love ask games too, I like to send people asks for ask games. Sadly I don’t really get many asks when I do those things but it’s okay, it’s all in good fun!

18. Which of your mutuals do you think is tumblr famous ?

@holdmyhopeinyourhands @kingkyks @amelmajrii

I just love these three so much, I always checked their blogs even when I was off tumblr. They are my tumblr famous celebrities and I love them! ❤️

19. Do you have a crush on a mutual ?

I have a crush on all of my mutuals I love every single last one of them! Mwah! 😘

20. Tags

@tmnteshk @amelmajrii @sevyntwentyfour @msn-forever @holdmyhopeinyourhands and anyone else who wants to do this!

Love you guys all so much!! ❤️❤️

[prince-of-elsinore]

I was tagged by @stanfordsweater for this getting to know you game. Thanks so much for the tag! 😊💕 There’s a clean copy at the end for people who want to do this.

1. why did you choose your url?

It was already my user name on AO3 (and maybe some other sites, can't recall) and I wanted consistency across platforms (since I joined tumblr for fandom). And here's the pretentious part: if you didn't know, it's a reference to Hamlet, which is one of my favorite written works ever. Elsinore is the name of the castle where it takes place, so the prince of Elsinore is Hamlet ^^;

2. any sideblogs? if you have them, name them and why you have them.

I have two, though I'm not gonna name them lol (they're not exactly secret but they're old news). When I first joined I wanted my main to be not totally fandom-dominated (whoops so much for that) so I made a side blog for my main fandom at the time (Hetalia), where I now reblog fanart every once in a blue moon. And I made another side blog for my fic. I still occasionally post on the fic blog but since my main is now basically completely spn anyway, I've just been posting my spn fic on main.

3. how long have you been on tumblr?

Since... 2012, I think? But not consistently. I hadn't used tumblr much in years before last fall and even considered deleting my blog multiple times, but spn ending (and the pandemic) brought me back stronger than ever ^^;

4. do you have a queue tag?

#q  (i'm lazy and it's just quickest that way 🙈)

5. why did you start your blog in the first place?

If only I could remember... Well, it was for fandom (mostly--also some history blogging) but I don't remember the specific impetus. As mentioned my main fandom was Hetalia at the time, and within that mostly German bros stuff. I also distinctly remember lurking on a lot of Sherlock blogs prior to joining 😬(my how tastes things change)

6. why did you choose your icon/pfp?

It's a Leyendecker illustration! I love his work so so much (so many dapper men, so much homoeroticism 👌). The piece is Easter-themed and I don't actually know why I chose it. This fop is a far cry from his usual suave dudes, but idk, I guess I liked how ott and fancy it is. It also matched the old flowery aesthetic of my blog before I changed the theme.

7. why did you choose your header?

Lol ok so that's a photo I took (on my first visit maybe?) at Sans Souci palace in Potsdam, Germany. It was the residence of Frederick the Great, King of Prussia, who--as anyone will know if they remember my blog days of yore--is my favorite historical figure! The glove is not mine. I found it like that :)

8. what’s your post with the most notes?

As I suspected, this one I made defending Jared's "controversial" comments post-finale. Sort of funny because I'm not even a Jared stan 🤷‍♂️

9. how many mutuals do you have?

No idea

10. how many followers do you have?

Just passed 550, which I know isn't many relatively speaking but wow I certainly never expected to see the day! I've gained about 300 followers since I started posting about spn, which utterly baffles me, but hey I'm glad if you guys are enjoying yourselves!

11. how many people do you follow?

Oh, wow, I just looked and it's over 1,000 😳 I guess b/c over the years I've gone on multiple following sprees and only unfollow if people really really annoy me or if I just get really tired of their content (I do continue to follow a lot of people who post about fandoms I'm not in). I feel like I usually see the same <50 blogs on my dash, though, so I'm guessing about 900 of the blogs I follow must be completely inactive lol.

12. have you ever made a shitpost?

Yes 🙃

13. how often do you use tumblr each day?

Varies. Over the past months I would check it every hour or more, felt like (not v conducive to getting work done orz). Recently (due to being away from my computer more often, now that the semester and my old job are finished) only a couple times a day, mostly at night.

14. did you have a fight/argument with another blog once? who won?

Hm, not really. Nothing more than a couple snarky or passive-aggressive asks, and not for years (aside from that anon anti hate I got sort of recently--my first ever! I would say I win that one by default, y'know, just for not being the person sending anon hate). I did get into a pretty drawn-out debate with a Dean stan about Dean's death and Jared's comments on it--see above--but I wouldn't classify it as an argument.

15. how do you feel about “you need to reblog this” posts?

Very Tired and skeptical

16. do you like tag games?

Yes they're great! Always make me smile (even if I don't participate I always appreciate the tag!) 😊

17. do you like ask games?

Yes, although I have to be careful about posting them because while I love getting asks in theory, getting them means I have to answer them! And I tend to be very slow at that because I want to put so much thought into it! (Send me asks any time, really! Might just take me forever to respond ^^;) ((Oh gosh this reminds me I still never finished some headcanon asks I got aaages ago. Maybe someday...))

18. which of your mutuals do you think is tumblr famous?

I don't have a good sense of what constitutes tumblr famous. My fave blogs are all stars in my eyes 🤩😇

19. do you have a crush on a mutual?

Haha no. Maybe with a few I just have a little cherished hope that they think I'm cool and smart 🥺

20. tags?

Hmm I pick @theregoestheneighbourhood, @doilycoffin, @decadent-prince, and @fallcolorspringrapid if you want to!!

[scintillasofbeomgyu]

CHECK IN TAG !! tagged by: @binniebutter & @gyukai ♡

1. why did you choose your url?

i somehow feel like you'd know why i chose this url without even knowing why i chose it 😭 a “scintilla” refers to a tiny trace or spark of a specified quality or feeling; and beomgyu because,,, i think you know the rest 😭 i can't imagine ever parting with this url LMAO

2. any side blogs? if you have them name them and why you have them.

@beomgyu7s : for rbs and things, even though i still rb mostly on main 😭💔 but i have a reason for that !! on main i have a decent following, so especially for content creators i tend to rb on both blogs so that their work reaches more people

@blindingatz : a joint ateez writing blog with my lovely children, @binniebutter and @itxxz !!

@hourlybeomgyu : where i try and rb beomgyu content every hour !! they've been kinda slow bc of some things happening and my exams, but they should get back on track soon !!

3. how long have you been on tumblr?

sheesh i really can't remember. i think i created the blog in early december last year, but i only started really using it toward the middle

4. do you have a queue tag?

i do !! it's #scintillasofaisha: queue

5. why did you start your blog in the first place?

i've always loved writing, even though i'm not particularly good at it JSJSJS, so i just thought why not go back to tumblr to keep practicing it. i do have a wattpad account, but i've never had the confidence to post anything on there. i also did have a writing blog on tumblr before, but i was in a really negative headspace on that blog. it was a bad time in my life, so i really wanted to start afresh !!

6. why did you choose your icon/pfp?

another self-explanatory one 😭 my icon is and will probably always be beomgyu, no matter how much it changes, because i love that man 😔

7. why did you choose your header?

I MEAN HAVE YOU SEEN THEM ?? all the concept photos for this comeback were immaculate, and the header is subject to change between the three sets of concept photos, but this one in particular is a fav. reason being, beomgyu's... everywhere is pretty. the blush too,,, it's so pretty on him 😭

8. what's your post with the most notes?

i honestly have no idea, but it's probably my jisung boyfriend headcannons, or the class president yeonjun short fic !!

9. how many mutuals do you have?

i have no idea. a decent amount though. i don't always follow back and/or interact first bc i kinda have a phobia? 😭 but you can almost always expect a response if you send asks or a dm first !!

10. how many followers do you have?

an amount of lovely people ♡

11. how many people do you follow?

116 !!

12. have you ever made a shitpost?

KSJSJD yes, either once or twice, through a meme dump 😭

13. how often do you use tumblr each day?

way too often; it's kinda an escape ngl

14. did you have a fight/argument with another blog once? who won?

nope !! i haven't

15. how do you feel about ‘you need to reblog this’ posts?

hmm, while i do believe people get to chose what goes on their account, i also think that if you can help someone out by reblogging their work just once, that's good.

16. do you like tag games?

i do !! don't always get to do them, but i appreciate tags so much

17. do you like ask games?

yes again !! they're really fun too, i love interacting with my followers ^^

18. which of your mutuals do you think is tumblr famous?

literally ALL of them ?? 😭😭 like i tried listing but it just takes too long 😭 but i feel like top 3 would probably be @wooyukh @lipbeom and @choideluxe

19. do you have a crush on a mutual?

yes, it's beomgyu's secret blog shhh 🤫🙈💞

20. tags?

not sure who has done it and who hasn't, so !! @yeonieluvs @choideluxe @boba-beom @magicalstellar @sooblvr @mango-mina @unghoon @lipbeom and anyone else who wants too !!

About me

Thanks for the tag, @oxygenforthewicked​! 🤗

1: Why did you choose your url?

When I decided to dump @/SiberianSpring (just the url... my City of Heroes main character will always have iterations running around), I went back to an older internet user name I'd abandoned way back when. I grabbed Aisteach on AO3, then found it wasn't available on Tumblr. Oops. 😝 A little Gaeilge wordplay and I ended up with FiadhAisteach.

Fiadh, depending on context, can be a noun or adjective, independent or prefixed and has several meanings, including: deer, wild, wilderness, outsized, large, respect, and esteem.

Aisteach is an adjective meaning strange, weird, queer, surprising, peculiar, odd, and/or wonderful.

2: Any side blogs? if you have them, name them and why you have them.

Just @live-creatively, where I dump “all the creative/crafty/inspiration guides & how-to posts & re-blogs [I find] so I have some hope of finding them again.” Other than that I just dump everything in this one spot... I barely remember to use @live-creatively; I can’t imagine trying to keep up with a host of side blogs.

3: How long have you been on tumblr?

Technically since 2014, but there was a two-year gap in there when I was inactive. Then I resurfaced when I needed to connect with DA fanfic writers & artists, and here we are.

4: Do you have a queue tag?

Yes. rifts in the queue

5: Why did you start your blog in the first place?

I had a few friends from LJ days who popped their heads onto BookFace long enough to direct me to their blogs here.

6: Why did you choose your icon/pfp?

I change it up everyone once in a while, but it’s usually just one of my photographs. Right now it’s a monarch butterfly photo I took, at Monarch Grove Sanctuary, on my honeymoon.

7: Why did you choose your header?

Again, I change it up every few months, and it’s frequently one of my own photos. This one is obviously a spiderweb on a small branch. It’s damp with mist from South Falls at Silver Falls State Park.

8: What’s your post with the most notes?

Grandma Kathy’s Hard Toffee Recipe (I used JetBlackCode.com to find out). *does a little happy chair dance*

9: How many mutuals do you have?

145, if I counted right according to tumblr, though I’m sure some of them aren’t active anymore.

10: How many followers do you have?

264.

11: How many people do you follow?

881. Believe it, or not, I curate my dash quite meticulously. Even so, my dashboard is a wonderful, chaotic mess, & I love it. Many of these are inactive friends that have moved on to other social media sites, but I refuse to “unfriend/unfollow” here or are organization's blogs that I like to follow for their news/updates. I also have 50, or so, blogs that I “Get Notifications” for, so even when I’m distracted by other shinies I don’t miss too much.

12: Have you ever made a shitpost?

Probably... possibly. It depends on your definition of shitpost.

13: How often do you use tumblr each day?

Probably way too much. It’s where I turn when “I’m on hold on the phone, while also waiting for a customer to actually ask a question so I can’t actually get work accomplished,” which happens way more frequently than you might think. I also pop over when I’ve got just a minute before something else is starting and I can’t let myself focus, but I know someone else will be interrupting my “TumblrTime,” so I'm not “wasting time.”

On non-work days & evenings... I’m on & off constantly, between fics and/or chapters of long fics.

14: Did you ever have a fight/argument with another blog once? who won?

No. I try to stay out of drama and I tend to run from fights. Confrontation is challenging for me, even online.... hell, even friendly confrontation is nerve-wracking. Though I do my best, in that case. Life is too short, and we all have better ways of spending our time.

15: How do you feel about “you need to reblog this” posts?

Fastest way to get me to NOT repost something. Every once in a very long while I might reblog one, but it’s despite the enjoinder, not because of it.

16: Do you like tag games?

YES. I love tag games. Sometimes I’m bad about doing them in a timely fashion, but I love them.

17: Do you like ask games?

Also yes. Though I’m not great about sending them, I love reading about people’s OCs... and other people!

18.Do you have a crush on a mutual?

I definitely have platonic crushes. I love all of my mutuals and followers, and I’m grateful to have you all around. 🤗💖

I think I’m late to this so... tagging anyone who wants to! (and tag me so I can read your responses!)

[violasmirabiles]

tagged by @panwriter, thank you xx

why did you choose your url? went through the scientific names of various violets because thought it was funny because one of my names can be translated as violet or pansy in english; the finnish name of viola mirabilis happened to provide me with an additional stealth fandom reference (yeah its lehto-orvokki yeah its that Finnish War Thing). also i think violamirabilis was taken so now im just. a bunch of flowers

any side blogs? @ihmekukkavesi for my photos - pretty inactive because, ah, im, how do you say, lazy as fuck, and @shineondoc for university hell

how long have you been on tumblr? since december 2011 babeyyyy

do you have a queue tag? no i do not. this shitshow is always brought to you in real time

why did you start your blog in the first place? classic rock fandom, especially pink floyd. i was sixteen and lonely and had no one my age to bond with over the music and the musicians i liked

why did you choose your icon/pfp? thats a selfie. i have a good face. ive been thinking about updating it for a week now though since i changed my hair and am blonde again but im lazy, you know how it is

why did you choose your header? symposion by akseli gallen-kallela. theres two reasons and they are 1) love the “night out with the lads but its 1894 and we cant take a selfie so im just gonna have to paint a fucking oil painting later” thing its got going on and 2) LOVE the colors. this painting has also been my phone homescreen bg for a long time

what’s your post with the most notes? uhh. probably this?

how many mutuals do you have? quite a few. no really ive never counted i dont know the exact number. ive had this blog for ten years for gods sake.

how many followers do you have? 2326. dont know how many are active

how many people do you follow? 654. also dont know how many are active and oftentimes its like i intend to do some Spring Cleaning and come across blogs that havent been active in YEARS but i just. cant bring myself to unfollow them because what if they come back someday

have you ever made a shitpost? have you not? of course i have. 

how often do you use tumblr everyday? many quick checks throughout the day whenever im bored and theres a notification on my phone. how else does one “use” tumble dot hell

did you have a fight/argument with another blog once? hm. i mean not really? like. there was that one time i noticed someone reposted a friends edit claiming it as their own even though it had said friends url on it and everything and i said something along the lines of hey dont do that thats not cool and then got a Mysterious Anon message that said something along the lines of fuck you bitch what are you gonna do. this was Years ago. also there was another time, also years ago, when i got another mysterious anon that was like “i dont like you” and then “oh you think youre so perfect well you ARE i should just go kill myself” because ?? someone they followed followed me as well and apparently reblogged a lot of my posts and ??? yeah i dont know either.

how do you feel about “you need to reblog this”? guilt tripping bullshit. like, sure, if the post is legit important and the “WHY ARENT PEOPLE TALKING ABOUT THIS” comment is in the reblogs or something i might rb from the source or otherwise without That Comment. and yes i have reblogged posts with those comments before, again, have been here for a long time, but, eh. im not very likely to touch a post that has a comment like that. im tired. im twenty six. i read news. even watch em on tv sometimes if im somewhere with a tv. tumblr is not where i Go Get My Fix Of News.

do you like tag games? yeah!! i keep forgetting to do them but i do love them and being tagged in them!

do you like ask games? yeah! but im so fucking lazy and forgetful!

which of your mutuals do you think is tumblr famous? theres a few! and theres a few who have like. one or two posts that got Huge and i keep seeing those posts on a whole different corner of my dash and go oh :) hey thats my friend :)

do you have a crush on a mutual? nope

tagging: uhh my brains been buffering for five minutes so im not gonna tag anyone at this time sorrY

[clowningbayern-moved]

tagged by @whoretzka thank you <3

1. Why did you choose your url? because bayern are clowns. next q

(this is legitimately the first thing that came to mind when i was like let me make a football blog)

2. Any side blogs?

this is a sideblog unfortunately... i regret not having just turned my main into this blog because i hate it! but i also don't have the energy to change it now

3. How long have you been on Tumblr?

god way too long. not always extremely actively but i think like summer 2013?

4. Do you have a queue tag?

no i am way too lazy to queue things. you get my posts when i'm here

5. Why did you start your blog in the first place?

well this blog specifically i started because while i have always supported bayern the pandemic has been the first time i've genuinely been able to follow them (or club football generally!) religiously, like as an american the time zones are SO difficult and i was also extremely busy in college etc. now i am an adult and so FAR more flexible with my time and i work from home so i can prioritize this more! which is nice. i also don't think i really realized bayernblr existed until this winter? and then i followed some people for a while before eventually deciding to say things as well

6. Why did you choose your icon/pfp?

well for my euros-specific photo it's because this photo is GENUINELY the funniest thing i've ever seen + jogi haunting thomas accurately represents my feelings about germany nt

for my usual icon i simply adore thomas and lewy and aspire to their bestie vibes

7. Why did you choose your header?

i don't take anything seriously and i just think serge in the bucket hat is really iconic

8. What’s your post with the most notes?

uh probably the one about who do you hate for the euros? i am but a baby on bayernblr

9. How many mutuals do you have?

i don't know but like probably half my followers are mutuals?

10. How many followers do you have?

too lazy to check rn but something in the 20-30 range, again i am but a baby <3

11. How many people do you follow?

this i was actually curious about: 202. which is surprisingly low considering i've had this account for 8 years?? i do unfollow pretty easily though lol like if i'm not vibing anymore then. (except mutuals that does take more)

12. Have you ever made a shit post?

again i have already said i don't take anything seriously

13. How often do you use tumblr a day?

enough for me to have used 7GB of data on tumblr in the past two months </3

14. Did you ever have a fight / argument with another blog?

i don't think so? i might have back on one of my other accounts but i have blocked out that time and no i won't tell you what my previous fandoms were

15. How do you feel about the ‘you need to reblog posts’?

if this is about art/content creators, i mean, i really do get it, i'm also very much a i reblog what i want person, i support everyone very much and think this website is a great place for creative expression but i think getting bogged down in the external validation of it all is not super fun so i try not to think about it that way

maybe that's not very helpful but it is how i interact with tumblr for my own mental health, not always how i have been

16. Do you like tag games?

yes honestly i love talking about myself it's fun

17. Do you like ask games?

yes but as i am still baby i'm working up to it

18. Which of your tumblr mutuals is tumblr famous?

what does tumblr famous even mean honestly in this day and age

like in my head all of you but also i literally didn't know these fandoms existed On Here until a few months ago

19. Do you have a crush on a mutual?

i have crushes on all my mutuals because they are incredible <3 love

20. Tags

i know i said i love tag games but i struggle SO much with this part. i feel like i've seen a lot of people do this already? if you haven't though i'll tag @joshiikimmich @fabioquartararhoe and @lordpinsoglio

[canonicallysoulmates]

This has taken me a hot minute to get to but thank you @soulmates-for-real for tagging me! ❤

1. Why did you choose your url?

I chose it because I wanted something that was both wincest and j2 related since that is what the majority of my blog is about. In the show Sam and Dean are soulmates, and in my opinion Jared and Jensen are also soulmates.

2. Any side blogs?

No.

3. How long have you been on Tumblr?

It's been so long I don't even remember, let me put it this way I've been in this hellsite since before Yahoo bought tumblr and that was like in 2013.

4. Do you have a queue tag?

Not really, sometimes I use random ones; really wish I had the creativity to be able to come up with a really cute or themed q tag.

5. Why did you start your blog in the first place?

Again, I've been here so long I don't remember, but I'm pretty sure it had something to do with Harry Potter.

6. Why did you choose your icon/pfp?

Honestly? My previous icon was a Louis Tomlinson one, which I loved, but I wanted to change back to a wincest one, so I was playing around with a scene screencap on a photo editing app on my phone and I thought it looked pretty so I made it into my icon.

7. Why did you choose your header?

Two reasons: a. It goes well with my icon. b. I love that close up of Sam and Dean's hands touching.

8. What’s your post with the most notes?

Probably my post of a netflix tweet: Netflix gets it.

9. How many mutuals do you have?

I know for a fact I have at least 2, not sure though tbh

10. How many followers do you have?

I have over 3k followers, which is insane

11. How many people do you follow?

Technically 42 but I know some of those accs are no longer active, I really need to update my follow list it will happen....eventually

12. Have you ever made a shitpost?

No. At least not to my knowledge or intentionally.

13. How often do you use Tumblr each day?

It varies, but pretty often. I'm usually on here, even if I'm not posting, I'm here lurking, working on my drafts/posts, checking notifs, and/or messaging with my friends so a lot.

14. Did you have a fight/argument with another blog once?

Yes, more than once, with different blogs. Let the record show, I have never started these fights but if somebody wants to act a fool and looks for me in my inbox or posts they're gonna find me; I'm a lady, I might not start the fight but I sure as hell will finish it.

15. How do you feel about “you need to reblog this” posts?

If I feel up to it I reblog it, if I don't I won't.

16. Do you like tag games?

Some I do, yes.

17. Do you like ask games?

Same as with tag games, some can be really fun.

18. Which of your mutuals do you think is Tumblr famous?

🤷‍♀️

19. Do you have a crush on a mutual?

No, but one is a really good friend who I care for a lot.

I'm tagging everyone who comes across this and wants to do it! 😊

[wintersongstress]

So 👀 you have inspired me to think about making gifs and/or edits 👀 and I don’t know shit about either. Care to throw some tips at ya girl? 👀 I ain’t even know what the first gah damn step is

I’m really flattered that I’ve inspired you 🥺 I’d be happy to help you get started!

HOW I MAKE A GIF 101: 

1. The first step is acquiring the software needed to create gifs—which means you need Photoshop. I use Photoshop CC and it costs $10 a month with the plan I have. There’s also cracked versions available, but from what I hear they might not be as reliable at times and can be buggier. It’s up to you if you want the cracked or legitimate version. Either way I’m not judging you 😂

2. Gifs are made from video footage, so to begin the process you’ll need footage on your computer. The higher the quality the better. Since I make gaming edits, I record from my PS4 using the share button. I privately upload onto youtube and download them onto my computer. I can also plug a flashdrive into my PS4, but I don’t have a decent one. If the footage is captured on my computer then I don’t have to go through the hassle. You might a screen recording software. I have a PC and with windows 10 I can record by pressing the windows key, alt, and R. 

When you have those two things, you’re ready to make a gif! Here are the actual steps to my process. (please note, this is just a tutorial on how to make a basic gif. I’m not going in-depth on my coloring processes and what filters I use and such.)

(I apologize for my screenshots being the best 😖)

The first thing you do once you open PS is to go to File, and then from the drop-down menu click Import, and from there Video Frames to Layers. So what we’re doing here is opening up the footage in PS and loading it into frames. Next, a file explorer window will pop up.

(Yes laugh. I have a folder for heart memes and Arthur. Mind your own business 😂)

So since I download my uploads off of youtube, they are stored in my downloads folder, so I go there to find them and select the clip I want. For today’s example I’ll do a clip from Ghost of Tsushima. Click open. 

This will be your next screen. Here it’s asking to select a range from which to make layers. You’ll notice two beginning and ending slider bars you can use to crop between what part of the video you want to gif. Also note the setting I have of limiting to every 2 frames. Click OK.  

Once that loads, your screen should look like this. If it doesn’t, go to the Window tab in the header bar above and make sure Adjustments, History, Layers, and Timeline are checked off. You can customize your workspace layout however you wish. 

So now you have a timeline bar that let’s you play through the frames. Make sure on the bottom left you change Once to Forever. This controls how much the timeline will loop. During my process I play through it and look for where I actually want my gif to start and end, so I do delete frames as needed. When I’m satisfied with the range, I select all of my frames (there’s a short cut in the hamburger menu ≡ up to the right of the timeline bar, click it and find select all frames) and I select all of my layers in the layers window on the right (click first frame and hold the shift key until you select the last frame). 

With everything selected, I now change the frame delay. If you notice on the bottom on each individual frame there’s a decimal number and a downwards arrow. This is the time that elapses before the next frame plays and so on and so forth. I click that arrow and a menu will pop up. Typically, most gifs have a frame delay of 0.05, but I personally find that too fast for game gifs so I set mine to 0.07.  Again, everyone is different, you use what works for you. Anyways if you want to set the delay to 0.05 click Other... from that menu. 

Then just type in the amount you want and click OK. 

Now it’s time for the real work to begin. On the bottom left of your timeline panel, click square with the icon of a stack of bars with a slider. This will convert the gif into a video timeline.

Shit’s gonna look like this now ^

Next, go to the Filter menu from the header bar and select Covert to Smart Filters 

Once it’s converted, go back to the Filter menu and go to Sharpen. 

Select Smart Sharpen.

A new window will pop up.

Everyone uses different settings, but I typically go with Amount at 500% and Radius at 0.3. This is something you can experiment with, each gif may require different levels of sharpening. I know 150% is another popular option for the amount. Choose whatever you think looks best and makes the image clearer. Sharpening is a very important step. 

Now, you’re free to experiment with coloring using the adjustments panel. I’ll typically tinker around with Brightness/Contrast, Levels, Curves, Vibrance, Color Balance, Photo Filter, and Selective Color. I do all of my colorings from scratch and just go by what I think looks good, trusting my eye. Once you’re satisfied with how everything turned out, here’s the next step:

Go to the File menu, choose Export, and then Save for Web (Legacy). 

Now comes the waiting. You can resize the gif before this step by going to the Image menu on top, and then Image size, and type in the dimensions you want. I personally don’t do this because it creates a transparent border around the gif? and it fucks with the specific filters I frequently use and makes it turn out ugly? So that’s why this step takes time for it load. 

In the Image Size box here I type in the dimensions I want. Usually I always do a width of 540, your typical rectangular gif. Hit enter and it will start to resize again. Please note that the Animation box I have the Looping Option set to Forever. That’s very important. Again, everyone is gonna use different settings here based on what they think looks best. I use Quality: Bicubic, Selective coloring and Diffusion dithering. Some people using Pattern dithering and Adaptive coloring. 

Once your gif is all ready you can click save. This window will also tell you the size of the gif in that left corner. And that’s it. That’s how you make a gif. 

It’s a trial and error process and it takes so much practice. You’re gonna get frustrated, it’s gonna take awhile to learn your way around photoshop, and you’re gonna have to look things up sometimes. There’s many great resource blogs on tumblr for this as well, but for the most part I learned by doing and experimenting. 

I know this was long but I hope I explained the process well? Feel free to shoot me more questions if not, I’m always down to help out with this. 

Good luck! ♥

Lost? (Portentum Canyon Masterpost)

So, you’ve found yourself lost in Portentum Canyon, California. Calm yourself. I know, all the trails look the same after a certain point. But don’t worry, my child, you’re safe here. Hm? Where are you? Who am I? What’s that sound? Why does that deer have three eyes? Let’s cool it with the questions. Take a seat and I’ll lay it all out in simple terms.

This post includes:

I. Who am I? - Who is The Hermit?

II. Where are we? - Guide to Portentum Canyon

III. What can I do for you? - How to interact

IV. The Author

V. Taglist

Who am I?

I’m what the folks around here like to call The Hermit. I live here, in the middle of the canyon, by myself. I get lonely sometimes, but I’m lucky to have weary travelers such as yourself every once in a while. I’ve been here for longer than you can even fathom- human minds, they’re so inhibited.

(The Hermit deals with all content tagged # hermit’s words)

Where are we?

Portentum Canyon, the most obscure and uncharted nature preserve in California. It’s big enough to be a state park but there were too many incidents to get it officially recognized, which is probably why you’ve never heard of it. Over 500 square miles of dense forest, steep cliffs, and dangerous rapids. Hiking here is definitely not for the faint of heart, but I’m sure you know that. It’s rarely traveled by humans, so it’s mostly populated by some of the most beautiful native wildlife in the country: the American black bear, common blue jay, Sierra Nevada red fox, hyampom hog bear, six-eyed deer, Central American whintosser, red-headed woodpecker, western double-headed coyote. It’s scorching hot in the day, but frigid at night. 

Nights here are treacherous and often lethal. Besides the fauna, the woods are plagued by restless spirits. They inhabit abandoned buildings and crashed vehicles, even the trees themselves. Some of them haven’t even died yet.

You were lucky to find my little shack before sunset. I know, it looks like a mess from the outside- some have said that it looks like it would tumble down the cliff and into the river if I so much as sneeze- but I promise it’s rather cozy inside. If you can get past the abandoned coffee cups and books on the floor, there’s a pair of mismatched armchairs (ignore the large purple stain on the back cushion of mine, it’s no concern of yours) and a fireplace. It’s always been lit, however, I don’t remember ever lighting it. There’s a window but it’s best you avoid it at all costs. There’s a wooden shelf full of books- yes, I know they look like they’re about to fall to the floor, but I assure you they want- and a small stove and sink. How do I have running water and heat all the way out there? None of your business, kid.

What can I do for you?

Unfortunately, there are no gifts without charge. You must be tired- I have food and drink, but you’ve got to offer me something in return. Requests can be anything, physical or otherwise, and offerings are in words (a story, a memory, a poem, anything non-physical) as long as you deem your payment of equal value your request! For instance, you could offer a story in return for a hot cup of coffee, or a book recommendation in return for some heartfelt advice. 

(Similar to the ask/offering system of @/normal-horoscopes, @/theambersalesman, and @/thetatteredveil. My responses are primarily cryptic horror-writing oriented as opposed to genuine, more benign responses from those blogs, and payment is in words instead of objects.)

The Author

Hello! My name is Lawrence, I’m the writer behind The Hermit and the concept of Portentum Canyon. I’m a writer specializing in horror, I am absolutely in love with every legendary American cryptid, I speak three languages, and I’m allergic to fiberglass. I dabble in spirituality, witchcraft, and the occult, and I’m a nerd for urban legends.

I’m a Califonia native and I can assure you that (as far as I know) Portentum Canyon does not exist. It won’t exist unless I manage to manifest it into materializing in our dimension, but that’s not extremely likely. However! It is heavily based on the urban legends (haunted and abandoned buildings, rampant cults, ghosts of perished hikers, the occasional UFO, etc) surrounding Turnbull Canyon in SoCal, with an environment comparable to Yosemite Valley and the surrounding national park. (The header photo is a picture I took of Yosemite Valley on a disposable camera that would later be dropped into a lake and barely salvaged.) The creatures inhabiting it are various North American cryptids and legends with the addition of a few that are simply products of my imagination. Feel free to ask about them, I’d be happy to infodump!

To ask for me, simply clarify “to the author” in your ask. No offering necessary because, unlike the hermit, I’m not a rapacious immortal bastard. I’m not a pro at anything, but I’m still open to answering questions about my research on California, cryptids, and urban legends, or simply about myself. Or anything, honestly, I get bored. Out-of-character content is tagged # author’s words.

This blog is inspired by @/normal-horoscopes, @/theambersalesman, and @/thetatteredveil but does not claim any canonicity within said blogs. This blog and all characters and writing are copyright to me, the author.

Hi tumblr, @staff & @support specifically,

Over the last year or so you’ve made some changes. (best stuff first, safe mode, banning NSFW content..) and while I’m sure you had great intentions they quite frankly suck for content creators. 

My friend @dennybitte, many of my followers may know him for his beautiful vibrant landscape photography, has had far too many of his posts flagged as explicit (previously NSFW). Now, anyone who knows Denny or has seen his posts knows he follows the guidelines. He in no way, shape, or form, has ever posted anything that would be even slightly considered NSFW. 

TL;DR 

@dennybitte has been wrongly flagged as explicit and we’re trying to spread awareness of staff’s inability to determine sexual images from landscape photography. Please consider checking out his blog if you like these types of posts, you’ll be supporting a very selfless deserving photographer. If you feel like helping spread awareness feel free to reblog this, and if you have a similar story go ahead and leave it in the replies to let him know he’s not alone.

Do you see any female-presenting nipples, genitals, or sexual acts among his archive?  (I’m honestly surprised that picture of a hand didn’t get flagged) I’ll spare you from posting a million screenshots, but there are at least 8 flagged posts remaining scattered throughout his archive that I can see. A few months ago when he first notified me of this problem he had around 30 flagged posts. That is absolutely ridiculous for it to be just an accidental flag. I’m not sure if his posts are being flagged maliciously or if their bot is just really that bad. 

Yes he did appeal the posts, yes he has sent staff countless messages and they haven’t cared (surprising huh?) Many of his posts that he filed an appeal for are still marked, they still have the yellow banner across saying they’re being reviewed. There’s a lot of miscellaneous details I could include in this post but I don’t want to bore you. Staff replies to my messages, they quickly fix my wrongly marked posts in 24 hrs and send an automated message saying it’s been fixed. So why are they ignoring him? I tried to send a message for him and of course I only got an automated response saying “we’ll respond as soon as we're able” it’s been 12 days. Denny sent a message (plenty of them) weeks before I did with still no response other than an automated message saying they’ve received his request.. 

His blog seems to be hidden from search results on both tumblr and google. His blog settings don’t show that he has selected these options. And according to this website his blog has been marked as explicit.. Apparently his avatar (a photo of himself) and his header (the same photo) are too NSFW and need to be blurred as well. Now I don’t know how accurate this website is, my blog as well as many of my mutuals show up as SFW. 

Denny has been on here for years and has built quite the following which encourages him to continue to go out and take these pictures. When his posts are being hidden and are constantly being mismarked it takes away that drive to continue sharing his passion. This is the only platform he’s been actively posting on for the last 6 years and to have all of that lost because of a mistake on tumblr’s part is really shitty. He’s one of the most selfless, appreciative, and kind people I’ve (n)ever met and it really hurts my heart that @support isn’t helping him out. I don’t know what else do to besides spread awareness and try to help get his posts seen again.

I know I am just one out of thousands, tens of thousands - whatever giant number, complaining about this change, and I'm positive he's not the only one in this situation. But if I’m able to help out a friend, I’m going to speak up and do so.

If you enjoy the types of posts I post, I highly encourage you to check out Denny’s blog. Everything he posts is his own, I’ve had the pleasure of seeing his photography adventures behind the scenes. Talking to him through very early bike rides to catch the sunrise or exploring different countries. I've seen the countless hours behind his editing process. Many of you just see a cool picture and hit reblog and think nothing more of it. There is so much more that goes into it as many of you in this photography community on here are well aware of. 

This is very long, I know, I'm sorry. I'm just trying to help out a friend and get his blog the attention it deserves.

@staff @support Please hire some more help, preferably humans with common sense. And please, for the love of god, reply to people’s messages when they write to you with actual concerns.

Anonymous said: You should get along with other Simblrs and start a new cc group now that PTS is disbanded, your hairs and clothes are always amazing! :D

Firstly thank you! Most of the clothing in AxA is 99% ayoshi with me going in after and cleaning/adding some stuff. So I give him props for the clothes :P As far as a ‘new PTS’ style group idk, there are a lot of amazing creators on simblr but I think the reason PTS was such a special thing is because the bond they all had. I feel that when working on collabs with some of my really close friends (such as the one coming out this month with @dogsill​ and @ayoshi​) because we have known each other for over 2 years now. A group of friends built only for collabing purposes would be more of a hassle than an enjoyment imo. <3

Anonymous said: HELLLOOOO! just curious bc why not but what is your favorite creation that you have made??

It varies every month to be honest lmao. If you asked me to pick a favorite hair from each month? Easy, always the last release of the month. But favorite hair ever? Awwww shucks 🤠 lmao I would say my Madison Hair is one of my favorite hair releases, I am planning to revamp it soon to work with my Mia ombre accessories and tidy the mesh up some.

Anonymous said: Hi I love your cc! I have almost all of it in my game and I love your tropical punch palette so much I was wondering if you would ever consider releasing the palette.

If I ever make an ombre accessory tutorial video I will release a set of actions for the palette. If you wanna use the palette feel free to grab the hex codes from S4S.

About a year ago SimGuruKate was the community manager and had applications for Tumblr Game Changers, I applied and got accepted. Follow SimGuruFrost on Twitter to stay up to date on when new applications are open.

Anonymous said: Are you going to upload the hair you made on your livestream? I literally love your work and am a Patreon subscriber!!!

Hey! The hair will be in my October voting (I think) and if it wins, release will be November. If it doesn’t win I will put it in November voting and so forth til it wins. Also thank you for watching the stream and supporting me on Patreon 

Anonymous said: hello!! i just wanted to see if knew is there’s anyway i can save my cc and save files somehow where i can download them again if my computer breaks so i don’t have to download it all again.?

zip your Sims 4 folder and upload it to Google Drive/SimsFileShare/OneDrive. Then when you install Sims 4 again you just replace the folder made in Electronic Arts in your Documents.

thank you guys so much! Me and Ayoshi were super super happy with the AxA 2019 release and we are so happy with how many people have liked it. AxA 2020 will be a thing, yes. Also I have been working on PSDs that are super easy to navigate. I will get those up soon hopefully.

Anonymous said: if you don’t answer this ask you’re straight

It has been answered. I am no longer straight. Was a hard two months not answering this 😔😔😔

Anonymous said: Hi, would you mind teaching us how you make the LoDs of your hairs? I opened one of them in S4S and found out your LoDs are great looking. I use decimate tool in blender and they look really bad.

I edge split everything before I decimate in Blender, I also delete the hairline and extrude the mesh inside the head before decimating as well. Really confusing to explain in words sorry. Might make a tutorial.
