words cannot express how much i love the cosmic horror trope of "character gets too close to The Horrors but instead of going insane or being blinded or otherwise physically scarred or cognitively impaired they just lose their emotional capacity completely, becoming an anhedonic shell, which doesn't seem like it should be such a terrible fate compared to what what else they could have lost until you remember that your feelings also govern your basic self-preservation and survival instincts, ability to make choices, consent, etc."

i dont know who needs to hear this but as a general PSA for those who pay people online for goods and services: KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT ABOUT WHAT YOU'RE BUYING. While it might seem funny to write a clever note along with your transaction, any sort of hint that you're buying something nsfw or even mildly suggestive poses a huge risk that the person you're paying is getting their method of payment shut down permanently. transaction services are stricter than ever. "thanks for the boobs" is a pipe bomb that only needs one pair of eyes to be noticed. loose lips sink ships

key rules/information before the tournament starts:

- each round will last a week

- feel free to make your own propaganda, I will not be posting any until that fandom is eliminated so any asks sent to me arguing for or against a fandom will be deleted!

- the tournament is smaller this year to make it more compact and easier for me to deal with

- when selecting which image to use for each fandom, I have gone to the google images page for that fandom and picked the first image. any issues with these images is not something to complain to me about (eg whether it is official promo material or not)

- at the end of each round, I will do a wrap up with some of the funny/entertaining/interesting reasoning people sent in with the number of submissions of fandoms that have been eliminated

- I will be doing a 3rd and 4th place poll

- vote based on which YOU think has been the most annoying on tumblr in the past year

- poll rounds will be tagged as "fandom poll round 1" "fandom poll round 2" etc, while asks will be tagged as "fandom poll ask"

- I will make a list answering asks about if xyz fandom got any submissions at the end, so if you send one of those don't expect it to be answered until the whole tournament is done

- in the same vein, the wrap up after elimination will include the number of submissions that fandom got

#this is hilarious but also I can't believe hockey is winning (losing? it has a higher vote count idk) to the bg3 stans as more obnoxious #(I say this lovingly. but also oh my fuck my dash was totally unusable until I started blocking it asdfhjkl) #(but also lmaoooooo the entire bracket is 👌) #tumblr in a nutshell

awesome, thank you so much for the suggestions and link! :D

I don't know if this is something you could help me with, or if it's a silly question, but figured it couldn't hurt to ask with your work as a furrier. are there any dyes you would recommend for leaving the leather workable/not clumping up the fur, and if so, could any of them be done in patches that don't bleed through to other parts of the pelt? like how you can get rabbit pelts with leopard spots dyed on, but doing it yourself.

(I have a taxidermy project that's been sitting on the backburner for like four years because I don't have an airbrush and didn't want to ruin the hide accidentally, especially since I want to keep part of it white.)

SO sorry for the late response, sometimes my asks get buried!

i've dyed furs using hairdye and it does affect the leather a little-- I use E-Z Leather and stretch it back into shape but for taxidermy this may ruin the stretch you need.

if you're only doing spots or a small design hair dye should work okay! Here is a link to Nick DelCastillo's project where he dyed spots onto a cougar pelt using hairdye. definity isn't ideal but it seems like many people have had success with this method :-) i'd just recommend trying your best to avoid soaking the hide. you could probably try to dm nick to ask how he avoided dye bleeding !

#ref #vulture culture #very good to know about the leather soaking thing too! #some suggestions were like. powdered pastels. which like.... maybe that works for something going in a glass case but not for anything else #legitimately though. thank you for the response <3

Screw terfs n all but are you normal about transgirls who don't want to medically transition? Are you normal about transguys with boobs who don't wear binders? Are you normal about the trans people who only want to socially transition because that's what's right for them? Are you normal about the transgirls with beards? Are you normal about the transguys who love their curves? Screw terfs, but are you normal about trans people?

Enough of the trope where memory loss undoes the damage or the corruption or whatever. More content where removing memories just removes the context.

The tragedy of needing to grieve and not knowing what or who you lost or why. The angst of having trauma and being denied the awareness that it's trauma. The suspense of being different somehow and left to wonder how and when. The tension of knowing that something is off and you can't find where it hurts. The Adventure Zone gets it. Kingdom Hearts gets it.

There is an aching inside you and you don't know how it got there.

my friend events this week:

I reached out to an old high school friend after 12 years of not speaking, only to find that she's in Greece doing a phd on psychiatric euthanasia. I confessed to being ignorant about the topic, so she emailed me 19 research papers and said "this will be a good start"

I asked another friend to provide a professional reference for me as part of a grant application. she agreed to, on the condition that I log into neopets, collect the daily free item, and transfer it to her account

all goofing aside I genuinely don't understand the urge to reimagine Taylor Allison Swift as a secretly queer icon when the pop music scene(TM) is like. literally overflowing with women who actually like women. Gaga and Kesha and Miley and Halsey are right there. Rina Sawayama and Hayley Kiyoko and Rebecca Black and Kehlani and Victoria Monét and Miya Folick if you're willing to get slightly less top 100. Janelle and Demi for them nonbinary takes on liking girls. like what are we doing here. like I'm not even saying you can't enjoy Taylor but why would you hang all your little gay hopes on her.
