MEMBER ADMIN OF THE MONTH   ↳ to our dearest Layla @moonlightsdream

💌 NOTES FROM THE ADMINS

Sam: we've been meaning to do this for the longest time so I'm glad it's finally happening!! I don't know what we would do without you Layla. you keep this blog so organized and up to date (don't even get me started on the dramas page --- she's a masterpiece.) also to anyone who doesn't know, layla singlehandedly makes all our graphics/icons/headers and I'm blown away every time with how creative she is. I made the header for this post and that was already too much for me and it's not nearly as good (truly so much respect for you Layla!). gifs are always *chefs kiss* with how crisp they are. I'm forever grateful that we've built this network together and I couldn't have asked for a better person to be our founding member! (also I have too many favorite works of yours 3 is not enough) ↳ favorite works: [ 1, 2, 3, 4]

Alexa: Layla oh my goodness!!!! It's about time we took a moment to highlight you on the blog! Both as one of our admins and as an individual creator! You do so much amazing work for kdramaspace from your graphics, to your icons and all your help keeping up with the theme and pages. That alone is worth PARAGRAPHS worth of hyping you up. But on top of that, you're such a talented creator and I'm always excited to see what shows and films you're watching. I love how you work with colors in your sets and I think you do a great job of choosing really intriguing moments and scenes that really highlight the themes and key points for the media! It's so wonderful to have you as part of our team and I hope we can continue to work together and create together for a long long time!!! ↳ favorite works: [ 1, 2, 3 ]

Lilly: Laylaaaa! Where do I begin? your gifs are so beautiful. Your rich contrast and deep colors have always inspired me in my own works, not to mention your ability to organize sets in such a pleasing way. You bring a whole new distinct vibe to everything you create that really elevates the original media. That's not even touching how much work you've put into making this blog what it is! Others who have been apart of it longer than I have gone into more detail, but it goes without saying that you are irreplaceable. <3 ↳ favorite works: [ 1, 2, 3 ]

Sya: Layla!!! Dearest Layla congratulations!! So glad this happened! I have been a fan of your creations since I came back to tumblr (still very much in awe till now) and I have so much respect for all the contributions you made (icons/header EVERYTHING) for the network. Thank you for feeding us with amazing, lovely, high quality content and I love it when we watch the same shows 😍 I can't say enough how much I love your minimalistic, cinematic, vibey sets, they're always inspirational. Looking forward to more when you're back from hiatus💕 ↳ favorite works: [ 1, 2, 3 ]

i also just want to point out the qsmp members' commitment to like never letting the inactive members die. like dantdm logged on twice and is canonically dead and everyone continues to blame mysterious happenstance on him. spreen is canonically dead and yet people are still like namedropping him even tho the house façade he built has been demolished and also probably consumed by a mountain. they meme on kameto who's barely been on except that time he was a fed spy that was iconic as hell. they just immortalize their members and they're always so happy to see old faces come back and it lowkey makes me emotional lmfaoo like missa barely logged on for a while but goddamn nobody forgot his name bc philza can't go one day without mentioning him and mariana barely logs on but every time fit saw the homeless mariana in roier's city no matter what he'd stop dead and tell it "come home" and when slime came back to the server for elections after having logged off for the last like two months everyone was still excited to meet him bc the others had kept his memories on the server fresh and alive, maxo died canonically in the nuke and pierre pasted his face all over the server, luzu vanished for months and we never forgot him either thanks to the computers and foolish's wack ass family tree. like when purgatory teams were chosen and team red constantly joked about how it would be so over for the other teams once germán logged on despite the fact that germán had only ever logged on ONCE, the way they cheered when they snatched rubius in the split of green despite the fact that rubius hadn't logged on more than twice since march. they just keep the names alive all the time and it's like

it just makes me really happy to see. like it makes me really happy. like the admin team and the members alike are like 'no way in HELL are we letting your memory go' like damn once ur on isla quesadilla you really are stuck as an islander forever :D

#qsmp #shut up vic #block game brainrot #not gonna put this in the main body because 🤢 but also #filler tag filler tag ravioli ravioli you must hit read more to see this #the hatsune miku jokes to keep a member's memory alive during a long hiatus are also an example of this effect #anyway i really hope the server can continue and the issues are resolved #bc i'd really love to see pol back on the server like genuinely #there's more examples obviously and not all of them are ones i can remember #but just. i mean even the dead eggs whose admins aren't even on the team anymore #every month bad and dapper made a point to visit their graves and remember them (sometimes with company) #it's like holy shit fucking goddamn it hits me in the chest seriously #sorry for the massive unbroken paragraph that's how the thought looks in my head too so i opted not to break it up

The hellsite is eating my posts again. We'll see what gets through.

Edit: this one made it! You've asked for a house tour, I hope this isn't boring. There's some rooms that I don't include because I'm working on stuff and don't want to show the mess. This is still not that tidy but it's... tolerable mess. The audio is just Clair de Lune, no narration. I can answer questions if you have them; I'm always happy to talk about my million hobbies and the house is...definitely one of them.

I could also do a photo post for anyone who doesn't want to watch the whole thing.

#i dont want this to come across as braggy #i know exactly how lucky i am to have a house to do this kind of nonsense with #but also most of this is just diy after diy and a loooot of facebook marketplace trawling #every few months I get a couple family members in to move an item of furniture I cant get by myself but mostly im just doing things solo. #it's wild how much you can just DO #even if its not done perfectly #i like my house a lot #its not fancy--it is in fact a very simple 1900 american foursquare #and it needs a lot more work still #but im chipping away at it and it pleases me.

Love how Maomao isnt the 'spawned out of the ether' kind of autistic you often see in media. She is very clearly the daughter of two autistic (& otherwise neurodivergent) people. As well as having, at the very least, an autistic grand uncle.

Like thats some real autistic rep right there. Got a family history of autism, accociated trauma and all. I love it.

#realising her dad had face blindess and both her parents were traumatised (likely low empathy) autistics. like yeah damn that tracks #also her grand uncle / dad who stepped up. that is an autistic man right there #kusuriya no hitorigoto #mao mao #the apothecary diaries #Happy autism awareness / acceptance month everybody #Like hands up who has stories of an eccentric family member in the family history who was totally autistic in hindsight

My very specific headcanon that these five characters have a group chat called The Girls and Klavier has always wanted to be in it so badly but they won't let him be one of the girls

Still thinking about... the lifts??? in Timmy's boots, from this variant cover of Batman #129.

I'm so normal about this I swear....

#tim drake #batman #dcu #comics #its been months and it still haunts me #i just think its really funny for Tim to be shorter than pretty much everyone else in his family #and the lifts are so cute to me idk why even #like lmao at tim having family members that are either GIANTS over 6ft or destined to BE giants once they hit their growth spurt lmao #meanwhile he is just tiny!!! <3 <3 <3 #ya'll do not understand how important this is to me

I’ve talked about this before but imagine what it’s like for someone in a country/place where eliot is Top Most Wanted and then your tech guy finds a breakout star baseball player on their visual scanner that looks EXACTLY like spencer. but…there’s no way that’s him, right???

and then the next year it happens again but this time it’s some one hit wonder country singer kenneth crane that has like 78 tween-run fangirl blogs dedicated to him. you see a grainy video of him being chased by a horde of screaming teenage girls and ??? no way Eliot Last Thing You’ll Ever See Spencer is a country singer star just. signing pictures of his face right…?

a few months later your intern shows you footage of an eliot lookalike who is in san lorenzo talking about how there is dog fighting in the presidential palace and you just. sigh. because of course. a scant few days later the political geography of the country changes drastically and damien moreau is imprisoned. …interesting

and then a year of silence goes by. he still shows up as blips on the radar but he must have a good hacker working for him because his tracks on the internet are expertly erased.

every time you ask through interagency channels some random interpol guy talks in (condescending?) riddles at you and it also somehow feels like he’s threatening you

and then your friend who recently got into foreign hockey teams sends you a dropyourgloves video of someone called jacques the bear. you immediately get a headache (and watch some more videos because even you can admit this guy is a good hockey player)

and you know he’s a Bad Guy but it’s been admittedly a bit entertaining seeing what claim to fame he will come upon next. and his most recent actions over the few years make you wonder.

a few months later your phone pings because multiple heads of state evacuated from DC. the reason? eliot spencer was in town. you hear two days later a bioterrorist was taken down by… the report was redacted. your hacker tells you spencer and two teammates were behind the successful operation. which, huh.

not even a full year later it is released that spencer is dead and… you don’t know how to feel.

#sorry this turned kinda angsty I just think eliot famousaliases spencer is a great reoccurring joke #eventually an indeterminate amount of months later you see him pop up again and you breathe #at this point all the intel you’ve gotten points that he’s actually doing something good with his life #like he’s changed. and you know he’s a bad guy but he’s doing things that nobody else is really capable of doing. making changes on large #and small scales #he will face consequences eventually you are sure. but his tracks are so well covered already and he’s so slippery so maybe. maybe you just #don’t make your agents work so hard to track him down #you get to know sterling a bit better (and maybe understand him a bit better too) #sterling invites you to an off the books lunch at this brewpub in portland when you’re in the states. the head chef looks familiar #it’s the best food you’ve ever tasted. because OF COURSE it is #at this point you’re not even angry. or resigned anymore. you’re slightly impressed #anyways that’s how sterling’s leverage club gains another member #(mcsweeten was the second member btw. if you’ve seen my other posts) #eliot spencer #eliot spencer meta #headcanons #humor #leverage #jim sterling #(mentioned) #the studio job #the blue line job #the three strikes job #ficlets #mine #a post not on my queue??? more likely than you think #I should make a tag for in universe pov posts #into the leverage verse #headcanons in the tags #the rundown job

I love the QSMP. Not only has it introduced me to many amazing international creators, it's also introduced me to the French and Brazilian community, who are so sweet, funny, and chaotic in their own unique ways. I love seeing fans sharing their culture and learning from one another, and I myself have learned a lot this past year. I think it's incredible how QSMP brings so many different people together – all of us united in our love and passion for this project and its goals.

But passion can often evoke strong emotions, and these strong emotions aren't always positive.

The past few months, I have seen multiple waves of hate, bad-faith generalizations of communities, and racist remarks directed at fellow fans – especially those who are part of the French / Brazilian community. This kind of behavior is inexcusable, and is in direct conflict with the mission of QSMP, which is to break language barriers and unite communities.

We are a global community with a variety of people from different backgrounds. Miscommunications may occasionally occur because of cultural differences and/or language barriers, but we should use these moments as opportunities to learn and engage with other people rather than assuming the worst about them and starting fights.

Although certain issues can be resolved with communication, sometimes it’s better to block and move on. Avoid spreading negativity or hate, and save yourself the headache of interacting with people who are just looking for someone to argue with.

No matter what community we're a part of or what languages we speak, we're all here to have fun. Please remember to be kind to each other. We have more in common than we have in conflict.

#QSMP #mod talk #Additionally: we should avoid stereotyping entire communities for reasons I hope are obvious. #I think everything will work out in the end #I don't typically see this kind of stuff on here but I figured I'd post this anyways since I'm posting it to Twitter too #It's understandable that emotions are high because of everything that's happened to the QSMP community the past few months #but it's very sad to see fans attacking each other #everyone's a bit on edge it seems. I rarely use my personal Twitter but I opened it today and saw some close mutuals snapping at people #then after stepping away and calming down coming back to a conversation and apologizing #it's sad to see everyone in this state #So... comments from the peanut gallery I suppose. I do hope this helps someone though #I don't usually post things like this because frankly- #I don't think every single drama / controversy / whatever necessitates a public statement from every single member of the fandom #but I've been thinking a lot about this #Anyhoo. Hopefully I can start sharing clips again tomorrow. I've been moving the past week and life was hellish #hopefully things ease up a bit now

idk how to put this more smartly but theres a weird trend among online leftists who have circled right back around to this quasi-religious hatred of all material need and its just. sorry but needing money to stay alive isn't... greed. you're not selling out by doing an ad read esp if it's something you're doing as a job. even if the job is artistic in nature

anticapitalism is the main tenet here for sure but at the same time it helps to.., idk. not act like we spiritually need to start forfeiting all mortal goods bc it's the one path towards nirvana or something. every once in a while i notice people reinventing asceticism in the name of praxis and it's very Sigma Grindset but with a lefty hat

#rambles #this is a months old tweet thread im reposting here bc i keep thinking abt it #i reread the maupin callout last night and he was a fucking weirdo about this exact thing too: ''socialism requires material suffering'' #which he then used as an excuse to financially abuse his cult members
