#What are you trying to do meme blog?

[unashamedly-enthusiastic]

Alright, I see a lotta new side 'meme' blogs popping up, and i know the format is funny screenshots but you gotta understand something

SCREENSHOTS OF TUMBLR POSTS ON TUMBLR ARE STUPID

Why would I share your terrible screenshot? I could go find the original and bother the op, or I can wait until a legendary post passes my dashboard

You're not gonna get a good grade in tumblr, it is not normal to want nor possible to achieve.

#Remembering that insta influencer who told her tumblr friend #'You have twice as many followers as me #You should monetise that #MONETISE THAT #ON TUMBLR #What are you trying to do meme blog? #Get blocked? #While I use Google to find the original and share it? #Cos that's what you're succeeding in

[can-of-slorgs]

I'm personally blaming @starbiology and everyone who has reblogged or commented the other piece for this.

Bonus comic featuring my grundo:

#every minute i keep working on this i take psychological damage #neotag #neopets #vin memes #you'reall to blame for this monstruosity #i literally just searched “babygirl” pose and went “I... i can do that” #i didn't stop to think if i should though #Star i was gonna respond 2 the reblog with the first image only but decided it needed its own post for quarantining this... thing #again if youre seeing this with no context #you dont need context #i... i don't think there's any for that matter #just picture me writing all this tags while losing health in posion damage every turn #i am working on neo oc images i just need to render them but i.... i needed the world to see this before #my blog's already tainted anyway LMFAOO #yeah uh im dead in neo canon i drew this and inmediately got taken back by yours trully and never came back #also i'll try making a ref as well for my sona so i can draw them more im just really indecisive in what color to make him #split it is for now #i don't want to look at this anymore end me #i am making more drawings to kinda cover this thing from the light but at this point it just keeps reappearing like a mold #thats it im done see u all in kreludorian therapy #kreludorian health insurance in a farse

I’ve started watching Utena because of you. What. Is going on

HI. WELCOME TO THE CLUB, watch the trigger warnings. but yeah, revolutionary girl utena veers more and more towards surrealism the further you get into the series. it often and voluntarily forfeits narrative/logical consistency in favor of visual storytelling, metaphors and symbolism. i was just talking about it with nic the other day, and if the story weren't so harrowing, i would recommend it to everyone who wants to get into literary analysis, because it is SO packed with symbolism EVERYWHERE that it actually encourages you to try to decode it.

whatever you think utena is about, it is NOT. you can't go in and treat it like your 49293th classical shoujo. utena is a firework show of visual symbolism and it very rarely, if ever, explains itself to the viewer. it refuses to handhold you, but it never berates you for trying and getting it wrong either. there is SO much handholding in modern day media, but utena trusts its viewer to take away something meaningful from itself and to piece its message together on their own. it's one of my favourite pieces of media of all time just for that

#it's almost closer to a poem and to poetry than to a story in the sense that we think think about today #you see why ye standard transformative fandom was never able to take hold with utena? #my suggestion is try to actively analyze what's going on and the symbols presented to you as you go along #find recurring motifs. utena deals a LOT with cycles and repetition (they were playing into their budget limitations and did it brilliantly #what objects keep returning. what characters are they associated with. how do they relate to the irl systems of power the story criticizes #what does the white rose mean #^ had a lot of fun trying to figure that one out. i landed on something other people in the fandom also got but then nic told me his take #and yeah they basically pried my third eye open with a crowbar. #this anime made me want to try out symbolism and allegories in my own works #it's so fucking good #but hey if you finish it and still feel like you didn't get 90% of that you can go to nic metanarrates' blog and check out his rgu tag #basically 50% of the fandom posts are visual and narrative analysis. the other 10% is breathtaking art. the remaining 40% is memes #BUT! wait until you're finished..watch for spoilers #rgu #answered asks

when u didn't come back after 6 days i was worried this had happened to you

Yeah, it turns out grimace really doesn't like people celebrating his birthday. Yeah, it was a warning shot. Yeah, I won't do it again.

#fanart #non mdzs #This gave me a real good chuckle B'*) thank you #The family guy death pose and the realistic shake really does it for me. #I never would have thought I would have been grimaced....grimed cat....purrpled if you will. #tbh this isn't too far off from what actually happened (peeped the horrors and had a dreadful & stressful time) but its FUNNIER to say: #I got grimaced and took six days to crawl back to civilization <3 #also because this is a mdzs blog and I have brainrot #I think wwx would make absolutely stellar grimace shake videos. You can't tell me he would not string together some genuinely horrifying #sequences of events for a 'funny' meme tiktok. #he has it all. The artistry. The horrors he has peeped. The history of creating horrors. #I imagine the juniors made theirs first (a decent Teen Boys being silly attempt) and wwx was like 'Oh fun! ^-^ I wanna try!' #Wen Ning and Wen Qing would probably also do a very horrifying take on the meme. As they should. #RIP if this grimace stuff had happened around the time of the wwx's Wen Chao revenge scene I could have done a real funny bit.

eyeballing the uptick in my follower count after one of my wei wuxian/wangx!an memes starts doing numbers like 😬😬😬

don't get me wrong, guys, i'm super glad you're here, but i really... really hope you read my pinned post

#this blog is not particularly nice to wwx or lwj #tho i at least try to ground my criticism of them very firmly in what they do in the text #i still can't deny that a large component of my dislike for them in general stems from the objectively shitty way their most ardent stans #choose to shit on jgy in their equally shitty discourse and memes #so if you don't like jgy or are going to be very peeved by my salt about your blorbos #this is probably not the blog for you #salty peak sect 🧂

I don't know if it's rude to ask, so apologies in advance if I sound mean, but… how come you repeatedly bring up old posts of yours from three or more years ago? Do you remember each original post you make and intentionally bring them back? Like, I don't think there's anything wrong, your blog can be whatever you want, obviously, and your stuff is always funny or curious in some way, just… I'm kind of lost as of how it came to be, I guess? I don't think I remember my own posts after 6 months, much least if I have to go back to 2020!

ahaha no it's usually just because i'm going back through a tag looking for something else! i recently went back through my entire "my posts" tag (which contains...1468 posts, dear lord) and while i was doing that saw several posts that i felt like reblogging for whatever reason. so it's usually not that i remember them and go looking for them on purpose, it's that i come across them incidentally in the course of doing something else.

if you want to know why i reblog them after coming across them, 1) usually i don't! you are seeing the tip of the iceberg lol, and 2) it's mostly because it's hard to resist the "sooo true, bestie" urge, even when the bestie is just...yourself.

#sometimes...things that are written by me...are things i agree with #but oftentimes they are not once a few years have passed lol. i mean i just looked at 1468 posts by yours truly #and queued probably 1% of them #oh i also went through my asks tag which was another 500 or so posts #if you want to know why i'm putting myself through this it's for a really ridiculous reason #namely: several nights ago i had insomnia brought on by (get this) being too excited to sleep because my brain wouldn't stop #coming up with crosslinguistic french/english puns #and a couple of them in particular i was like oh god this would be a great tumblr username! #however as i've said before i had no plans to ever change my username (even though i don't like it) #because doing so would break any links that contain my current username #i had resigned myself to just living with this username forever. but once i thought of some usernames i actually like #it became harder to resist the urge to change it... #so now i have this convoluted plan to try to identify and tag as many of the links as i can #so that after i switch names i can go back and fix the links #however i'm not sure how feasible this is. there are a lot of links #and no matter what i do short of going through all 45k posts on this blog i will be bound to miss some of them anyway #(i think getting a domain would solve this problem but i don't wanna get a domain bc i'd have to give wordpress my legal name) #indecisive superhero meme w the buttons 'the need to have punny username' vs. 'the need to be able to find things on my blog' #asks #anon #actually anon probably the majority of the time i rb something i wrote 3 years ago it's bc i forgot about it #i come across it and am like oh yeah! this! and it's like a brand new discovery so i put it back on the dash lol #anyway thanks for your ask! i got a kick out of it 😂

bar exam in 8 days. i am so scared lmfao

#ooc. #a bit of negativity in the tags: #i am also a little sad bc my studies and lack of availability/focus have def caused some people to not want to stick around here #but i am trying not to think about that now #thanks for sticking around if you're still here #i really appreciate it. i love being here and talking with you all. my life has just been so hard lately #when i was still able to write my brain would only let myself focus on certain things #and it is nothing to do with the lovely people i write with here #and more just what my brain let me focus on #this has been a thing since i have been in school #i opened my blog back up to the public right before finals #so you really have known this stressed scatterbrained version of me #that i would like to think isn't reflective of who i am as a person or writer #i've just been full of a lot of emotions lately #because i hold my fandoms and the people in them near and dear to my heart and i feel like i have inadvertently driven some of them away #so my heart is breaking a little bit. #if we have spoken on here #or i have sent a meme to you #or received one from you #or gotten a starter from you #or written a starter for you #you Do mean a lot to me. #i have not forgotten you. #i'll probably delete this soon. i'm a little embarrassed #i don't want this to be a pity party but i feel i owe an explanation #just know i have everything saved #everything in my drafts/askbox #and i never drop anything unless i tell you i need to for some reason #thank you for being here again #you all have offered me some solace and community during the hardest time in my life

Hey Uncle Nina! I hope this doesn't sound rude, but why aren't you on AO3 anymore? I miss you :(

hi, anon! no this is not rude at all -- that is a very valid question! plus, it can be really confusing and disheartening when an author that you follow on ao3 randomly stops posting! i totally, totally get it! <3 :')

but for me, at least, posting my updates onto ao3 got suuuper stressful and unpleasant. like literally shredded my mental health.

but this!!! this is Fun for me <3 :) there's just somethin abt tumblr, idk.

i was holding myself to all these standards on ao3, stressing myself the fuck out...& i know i'm not supposed to delete the asks i respond to, but its nice that if i feel that compulsion, i can delete stuff/edit it without it being this big, gigantic thing i'm tampering w/.

...because an ask disappearing when i'm anxious is a bummer, but me deleting Entire Chapters and possibly entire fanfictions because of panic attacks i got...due largely in part to the ungodly Stress i incurred while writing them? not cute.

also, it was a little different when style/sp was super popular on ao3 and there were new fanfics/updates for stories everyday so when you posted something, it was very low stakes and if you just gave the tags a couple hours, your fic could be washed away onto page 2/3...

...but ohHHHHH my god its so SLOW right now!!! that i shit you not updates are sitting on the front page for like multiple days??? which is nice for people that want exposure ( and deserve it tbh! ) but a large part of the ao3 posting stress was me...watching my fic get views and not get kudosed or commented on so...if i was updating rn, i would be in hell. and i'm already in hell 25/8 doing my damn job.

which! i'm a working lady! i'm very busy and stressed! running a tumblr blog is waaaay less stressful than constantly updating a fanfiction tbh. and whats more? this is stress relieving for me. <333

i enjoy this little community of people who like my content on tumblr. its less vulnerable than a03 and way less aggressive than twitter. fr. you guys are super nice to me on here and i never feel stressed or pressured ever to post stuff. <33 its really fun for me to be able to answer really super specific questions about my fanfic for people who are actively seeking out that information! like its very...curated.

and its very specific in terms of my fanfics/ncuniverse stuff, but its nice for me because i can post a variety of diff content! like i can post up my little para things, snippets of dialogue, be silly and goofy in my ask memes, but also really serious in my ask memes, i can be in depth or mysterious, sad, funny, happy, really weird like idk you guys, i really enjoy the freedom i have on here to...create without limits? ig

it feels like i can give you a shit ton of information in different mediums without having to update my fanfics, like, idk, i guess its probably not as exciting to see my ask meme answers as it is to get fanfic updates, but i try to make them like little updates, yknow? it was also really annoying to have to keep you guys in the dark abt stuff in my fics/ideas i have bc i...havent updated, so now its like!! i can tell you stuff again which!!! AAAA!!! makes me so happy omg

but yeah, sorry for the sudden switch. sorry for not really writing but...this is much better for me. i feel a lot safer and comfortable doing this. i like answering my ask memes...i like talking to yall. in terms of my fanfics, i'm not entirely sure what that means...like if i'm going to update on ao3 or if i'm gonna just post experimental updates or pieces of my fics on here? if i'm just gonna tell all my stories thru elaborate answers to ur questions...

idk! IDK! and thats okay. i am having fun and i hope you have fun. thats all that matters. <3

-uncle nina in her healing idgaf era

#sorry tldr #ao3 was stressful #i dont like twitter #i like tumblr i like doing my asks i like answering ur specific questions and idk i feel like we built a lovely community on here #where like u guys ask me stuff u wanna know and i tell u idk i feel like we are having a little book club i like it here #i like that i can like make ooc posts like hey guys what do we think about the style yuri? when im off 3 ciders #or that i can in depth describe scenes to you through the hc asks and you get that info but in a less stressful and formal way #than it would be if i had to write that up as a para #but then the freedom to write para things or long form stuff or even just dialogue and post that to a group of people who are excited 4 it #like theres just so much possibility and its very low stakes #if i get overwhelmed answering the big ask memes i can take a break w/o consequence or do less serious asks #i can shoot you guys ideas and also talk about my life in a safe place where i feel supported #i can drop you guys experimental stuff i'm worried about and have it received by people who will be kind to me abt it in ways i am not ofte #with myself idk like this blog seriously saved my life a little #and i am very happy here and i love you guys and i love my stupid tumblr abt my stupid au style fics with the best readers in the world #i hope people are okay with me being a tumblr primary ff retired for now girlie i'm sorry if thats upsetting but i also try to keep it cute #on here like i feel like we can just do so much more like this and i can talk to you guys and be so specific idk i love this sm

what is my art doing on know your meme HELP ME !!!!!

#it wasnt anything i actually put a ton of effort into it was team sonic as autism creatures. but still #i dont know if i should be annoyed that they reposted my art without credit #or if i should be thankful they didnt credit me because that means a bunch of people from that website wont be coming to my blog #found it on accident because i was fucking around on google images looking at tbh images because i was trying to get a picture of him #for that last post. and then i saw it but it was with a know your meme link instead of a tumblr link and i was like ?!?!?!?!??!?!?!?!?!?! #this is like the second time within the past couple months that ive accidentally run into #an uncredited repost of one of my silly low effort drawings that was done without permission or even just letting me know they did that #one of them was literally a screenshot of one of my text posts that had a drawing attached #and the person went out of their way to crop out my url like. hello #i guess i would rather people take those than stuff i actually worked really hard on #and its kinda funny in a ''holy shit what are you doing here'' kind of way. but im also not a big fan of people doing this

[isa-ghost]

me watching all the jse people flood back to my notes/inbox from the depths of lurking and newbies following me bc of shitposts & hype about the probably-distant future, and then looking at how almost 3 years of tryharding to get dsmp mutuals/friends has gotten me like... 2 acquaintances, even during the most active times in the fandom

man, it really is true that most people cant escape whatever their blog “mained” first huh 🤪

#this is a rant/vent kind of i guess #dont reblog is what im saying #but uh #i mean ive always been multifandom i just hyperfixed on the egos #and im not trying to escape the jse community ofc #actually this post is more like. praising the jsec for being so?? involved and friendly? whereas in my exp the dsmp fandom is..... #prob triple the amount of people than the jsec and yet its fuckin crickets. talking to ppl hasnt made any friends #shitposting does nothing predictions abt lore has done nothing memes do nothing. like. ive been so involved in stuff and nah. #its like that meme where the people at the party are staring at you in mild disgust #and a lot of them prob wont even like you bc the fandom is so opinionated abt dif ccs and interpretations of story and whatnot?? #idk how to describe it without sounding like the gross kid bitching that he cant make friends w the ''pretty popular girls'' or smth #but like. the same things i did that got me SO MANY friends in the jsec has done fuckall in the dsmp fandom #like how the fuck do you make friends in there seriously bc nothing has done much even when i keep trying to talk to people #i end up just feeling like im annoying them. basically anyone who likes dsmp whos a friend of mine was/is in the jsec before #shoutout to the jsec for being so welcoming and flooding right back to their fave blogs and stuff when we get crumbs of content abt anything #bc the dsmp fandom has been so distant if not straight up unwelcoming in my exp on literally any platform ive tried making friends on #like shoutout to the 2 or so friends that i Kind Of made in the dsmp fandom without knowing them from the jsec first?? but fuck the dsmpf #tbfh i shouldnt still be salty about not being able to make friends for whatever reason bc most of the fandom seems so toxic anyway but #i cant help but scoff at people who are like Its So Easy To Make Friends In The Dsmp Fandom Just Do Xyz Forehead 🤪🤪 #guess what my fucking guy ive done the entire alphabet and its done nothing for very close to 3 years #idk how YOU did it but it didnt work for me and ive prob done the same shit #luck or whatever i guess #anyway tldr im a little more than miffed that i can BREATHE in the jsec and everyone comes back and new people arrive from little to nothing #but try EVERYTHING for 3 years and meet like. 2 people. in the dsmp fandom. who i dont rlly even talk to much #bc i try to and its a 50/50 if that goes anywhere and i end up feeling like im just bugging them or coming off weird somehow even tho i know #im def not being weird or invasive or uncomf or smth #im very careful abt that #so yeah uh shoutout to jsec i love yall undyingly and fuck the dsmpf bc ive tried it all and even the people i HAVE made contact with i-- #wouldnt call friends rlly. more like acquaintances if anything and i feel awkward as hell

I hope you are doing well

Did I- Did I make it seem like I'm going crazy or something? Like yes I am okay, I promise.

Well, no. I lied, but I'm not worse than normal. I have always been this deranged. It is not out of the ordinary. Why the concerns now?

But thank you anyways, I hope you're doing well too.

#but also like I had 10 different people literally go through my entire catalog of writings and likes and read everything on multiple days #and not a single fucking comment or even a follow #my content is free yes but fuck it is irritating to watch someone consume it all and spend literal hours reading everything I have to offer #things that took me days to write #and they just leave after they're done? with nothing? not a thank you or a fuck you even? #to add insult to injury it's just the meme posts that get comments #sometimes I wanna pull the plug. remove everything I have ever written because no one deserves my effort #but I remind myself it's just the bpd and I'm not like this. these emotions aren't supposed to go this extreme. #then there is the mass effect blog where the sigle time someone sends any ask is to correct me about something they think I'm wrong at #and I remember how this is all started out of love. pure genuine love and passion #but it got reduced to content rather than art. I'm just tired #videogames are nice tho. characters are nice when I land a headshot #and I hate lying. i hate trying to stay inside this bubble of social politeness and never speak about what's effecting me #because it's not seen as cool to be honest with your audience. it's not professional for an artist to feel entitled to interactions #i am always like this. this isn't new. and I'm losing interest. #i will only write whatever fics left I've always wanted to write #do a couple requests then maybe it's time to turn the lights off #not saying I'll abandon this blog but I will definitely update slower and slower because I'm here because I love what I do. i love writing. #and when that love runs out I'll go do something else until another fandom pulls me in #Sol was nice. i love them and I will definitely keep them in my heart

[certainwill]

Why do you hurt?

this isn't enough for you

the words creep into your head in the dead of night one night and you cannot get rid of them. 'this isn't enough for me anymore'. you thought this was enough for you at some point, or maybe you hoped that it would be, but it isn't, and it hurts. you need to change something, or die trying. this - life like this - does not make life worth living. there is a lump in your throat that demands attention every waking moment of the day. there is pain in your body like a cavernous maw you cannot keep balance over. this is not what you wanted. you need to change. you can't stay here. it is not a character flaw you want more.
