#also tumblr has changed a lot

[omegastation]

Hi.

So… I’ve been away, I know. I even missed N7 day :’(

To be quite honest, I needed to get to a better place mentally. I was also trying to move out. It was urgent back then, now it’s all done. I’m living in a new apartment, which is 100% better for my mental health. It has more space and I feel like I can breath there.

Work is still stressful but I’m learning to manage my energy. I’ve been reading a lot (my goal was to read 25 books this year and that’s already done), knitting (I’ve finished a pair of socks for my mother using the magic loop technique, so I genuinely improved from knitting scarfs with holes in them) and writing (my scifi short stories collection is done).

I’ve also grieved and reached the acceptance stage. I’m doing the best that I can. I’ve learned that’s enough. And I’ve been very lucky, to have such a supportive family, wonderful friends, great colleagues too. People have been good to me, and I hope I’ve been good to them also.

Regarding Mass Effect and this blog: I stopped playing ME, tbh. Months went by and I could not go back at all… But lately I’ve been playing it again. I’m still in my first MEL playthrough (ME2, I’m doing Miranda’s loyalty mission rn). I don’t know if you remember my problem with my screen and nausea? It’s sadly still there but it’s a bit better, I can play longer without immediately feeling sick.

I’m going to take my time and I won’t feel too guilty because that playthrough is still on-going. I don’t need to rush and finish it right away. I’m just happy to be in that universe again. I have a lot of posts to make about it too!

And speaking of rushing, back when I stopped updating, I think I was too focused on adding things to the queue so the blog would always have content, and not on actually reading and enjoying the posts about the lore, which was my reason to start a ME blog in the first place. It’s like I never had time to really just sit and enjoy the posts and discuss them. I want to take the time now, so we’ll see how it will work from now on.

This is quite long, so I’ll stop there.

I missed you all and hope you’re okay. This world can be so scary, and terrible things keep happening all the time. I can only hope you are safe, wherever you are.

#also tumblr has changed a lot #and for a while it took away my personal messages #i think i also didn't appear in search results #anyway getting some used to now

In honor of Dracula Daily I’m going to be reposting Jonathan Harker’s Adventures in Castle Dracula, aka some little comics I made into a zine in 2017/18. Here’s the cover (og red and the pink version that ultimately looked better in print)

And of course, happy Lizard Fashion day

#dracula #dracula daily #though these arent like a good example of the way my art looked in 2017 cuz they were all rapid fire doodles. my art has improved a lot. #and it’s also interesting to see just the way going from mostly digital to mostly traditional changed my art. like the lack of lineweight #on these? crazy. I just dont really draw like that any more #anyway slim chance but if there’s anyone here on tumblr who actually bought a physical one of these zines from me when I sold them at #SCAD’s mini comics con: I love you. I hope the staples didnt fall apart on your copy lol god knows I stapled them like a maniac #jonathan harker’s adventures in castle dracula

IMPORTANT UPDATE FOR BATMAN AND ROBIN (2023) FANS!!!...he eat a burger [ID in alt]

(taken from Nicola Cizmesija's insta, who's on art for B&R issues #5 and #6)

#ramblings of a lunatic #batman and robin #damian wayne #dc comics #''ladel are you gonna get obsessive about the character again and hunt down any and all official art of them-'' no what makes u say that #nikola cizmesija was the artist on the recent red hood gotham wars tie-ins btw! same colourist as those issues too #...idk how much dc tumblr is actually in to the production side of comics. i know i am but i have a feeling that's not universal #anyway i actually really like to know the individual artists colourists and inkers on stuff if i can it's fun! #anyway i quite liked the art in those red hood issues so i am :] excited for issues 5 and 6! #there was also a cover(?) defs done by cizmesija that has damian and bruce in like underwater batsuits? like they're wet suits #and they're fighting orca on it! and cizmesija mentioned getting to design new suits so! it seems like we're getting an underwater adventure #for that arc at least! the writer joshua williamson said that he's trying to focus the structure more around shorter arcs this time #so it seems like in the shorter breather arcs we might get little artist changes to break it up?? neat imo #i like a book w consistent art if I'm really vibing w the art but i get that a lot of ppl have mixed feelings on di meos art for b&r #so I'm interested to see what the reception will be to cizmesijas when it comes out in...i think January? same month as the annual #i saw a solicit that said the art for the annual was by Howard Porter but i could be wrong #god this got way off track. ANYWAY! he eat a burger #(also williamson has said before that damians a vegetarian so I'm assuming it's a veggie burger)

SO true

#les mis #victor hugo #learning about Hugo's war crimes really does completely shatter your perspective of him #and reframes a lot of the book #im making this as a joke meme but yeah it was Awful #I'm not sure if Pilf or someones already made a post explaining it for tumblr? #the basic context is that Hugo was on 'the wrong side' of the Barricades in 1848 #working with Napoleon III's regime to violently crush a (justified) working class rebellion against the regime's new draconian labor laws #edit: I got it wrong it was in the interim regime between Philippe and Napoleon iii — not Napoleon iii’s official reign yet #he killed a lot of people (even when he couldve saved lives with diplomacy) #in large part because he was also suicidal at the time #and yeah the more context ya get the worse it looks #yeah his politics changed drastically later on but like. Yike #like he later became very pro barricade and anti Napoleons but. yee #maybe part of why his writing on Javert is good is because he has experience committing atrocities for an unjust authority #:P

reminders of the passage of time moodeboard

#my blog is in his last year of middle school. he'll be off to high school next year (at least I think so..? 13 yrs old is usually 8th grade #at least from my experience. 9th graders are usually 14. 10th are 15. etc. etc. and then you're in 12th grade #and graduate high school usually 17yrs old.) ANYWAY.. wow he is so ancient.. #maybe he's still in a preteeny early teen emo phase or something.. I hope he gets some black and white striped armwarmers and black eyeline #r for his birthday. Maybe an MP3 player of course. Though because I don't really like most alternative music and he is my son he's actually #not allowed to listen to metal or pop punk or emo rock whatever stuff. I open the mp3 player and pre-stock it with only #disco and funk and classical music. he can have a little chiptune or techno stuff as a treat (sometimes emo adjacent maybe more #scene. I think a lot of scene kids were into that more.. emo's weird eccentric brother)) #Also he starts taking iron pills his 13th birthday because he's probably incredibly anemic just like me #so on and so forth and et cetera (I'm just being silly.. I am not pro-controlling your children down to whatmusic they #listen to or etc.etc. lol) #THOUGH I love that it's in january... january is one of my favorite months if not my favorite. yeeaaay #just such a nice cool month. I like that it's the start of the year mostly and that it's sometimes snowy here. Like where I live nov - dec #isnt really actually snowy?? You always associate those winter Months with snow but I think snow happens later on this coast #so it's more like Jan - March or even april sometimes. Though that may just be climate change lol.. But it's cool that Jan is winter AND #ACTUALLY snowy. plus the Beginning Of Year vibes and energy.. hrm... nice nice.. ANYWAY #AND this is not even my first tumblr blog. I had a different one before it I think.. #evviilll to be on one website for so long lol.. Very thankful that most websites I used to use as a 10 year old or whatever #are now defunct. There's something weird about how humans are just creating endless streams of words and pictures and all of this stuff #and it just goes out into the void and stays there long after the person themselves has forgotten it. not even like 'oh no what if i said #something bad!!' but more just the general sense of.. people create so much more ideas than they can actually hold in their heads. nobody #remembers exactly word for word every post they've ever made or etc. It's like parts of yourself that you've externalized and then fade awa #from you but they're still you but they're not so you just have little snapshots of yourself in time floating around entirely unbenknownst #to you. like making clones of yourself and then forgetting you did so but every once in a while going 'shit... there's clones out there.. #of me and I don't even have track or awareness of them anymore.. what an odd concept..' etc. not EXACTLY like that ghbj..you know what I me #n.. or maybe you dont.. hrmm... ANYWAY #I am just now slightly recovering from my most recent mysterious illness spell and etc. so I would like to post more again and mAYBE even #do a costume if I'm being ambitious.. but after so many times of being randomly stricken by problems I'm now fearful of ever being too #hopeful lol.. always like 'I would like to go to the grocery store tomorrow! .... MAYBE.. if i CAN.. possibly... NOT getting my hopes up'. #etc. etc. etc. every statement has a caveat and a backup plan and so on and so forth and such is life.. anyway. happy birthday evil tumblr

extra news of the brazilian qsmptwt

since christmas there has been a lot of hate going around, going after bagis and forevers fandoms, but it also involved the tazercraft fandom at some point

these three fandoms have been feeling more united 'thanks' to this

the 'discourse' that was created

a single fitpac shipper didnt like spiderbit, so they attacked fitpac and the shippers and for some reason, also attacked bagina and its shippers (this is a different discourse that happened some time ago, but they also called fitpac queerbaiting)

they complained that since forever wants to use subtitles in other languages so that his non-brazilian fanbase can follow stonkscraft, he is plagiarizing quackity, accused him of queerbaiting, and said he made quackity sad because he 'left' the project on his birthday

and they also complained that some bagi fans were hoping she would go to france

#theres also a certain name that pops up a lot #b0b013rz but change the numbers for letters #idk if he has a tumblr but better be safe... #qsmp #qsmptwt neg #discourse #theres bordeline illegal shit also going on both sides but this i dont know a lot #the level of both warranted and not warranted overprotection is reaching new levels

The Wizard Spite

(The Wizard, The Witch, And The Wild One Original Character)

The Wizard Spite, an illusionist of The Citadel. When he chose his name cloak, it was not due to his feelings towards the world around him in the current, but more so to how he wanted to feel eventually. An illusionist of the Citadel has little use outside of psychological warfare. But at the core of an illusion is creativity. If you can't imagine what you want to create, then your illusions have no substance. A Minor Illusion is the most basic of cantrips, and really only used to clean up minor details that you don't need to bother with. But only an illusionists would include shading The Wizard Spite showed immense aptitude for learning and memorization. Being able to look at a page of incantations and see it clearly in his mind caused him to get noticed quickly. Passing the required tests, he began tracks to become a wizard. Though it was often noted that he would take notes on the Faunaloges more than the magic theory. His notebooks contained writings and minor sketches of people and objects. Their movements and idiosyncrasies, the clothes and light. Spite assumed he had to be a wizard. It's something people of Citadel aspired to, and what his parents recommended to him. If he is able to, then he should. He didn't know what else he wanted to be either. So becoming a Wizard felt right. When it came time for him to pick a specialization and track, he tried for Conjuration. He hoped that conjuring things would allow him to gain a better understanding of the mechanics of physiology. Though the magical theory around Conjuration ended up not being for him, and he was transferred over to an Illusionist track, one not sought out by many.

An illusionist has two goals when they are casting their spells. 1) To Deceive, Distract, and/or Entertain their target(s). 2) To Study, Analyze, and Observe their Target(s). An illusion's effectiveness increases with knowledge of the target.

Spite knew how to watch people, when he was with his friends he found his mind wandering to how their mouths moved as they spoke, or how eyes move. Those subtle differences in how people react to things is what Spite was best at. In the year he would get his Name Cloak, he initially was going to become The Wizard Scrutinize. Though he then found out exactly what Illusionist do in and outside the Citadel. Fear is a powerful tool, and is held in the Empire's hand. Not often are they called upon to do so, but sometimes a Wizard that has stepped to far out of line needs to have zipped lips. Enchanters and their abilities to Modify memories can only last so long. But the image of their world burning around them lasts forever. He accidentally found this information out, though he wasn't as shaken as he might've thought he would be. After all, this is what he has been trained to do so far, and more yet to come. He knew this was right, wizards are defined by their secrets. If the Citadel let all Wizards and Soldiers speak so freely, then how quickly might everything crumble? When he stood their and chose Spite as his Name Cloak, the meaning was not directed at the world around him, but at the person he would become. Hatred directed towards his future self for what he will do for his Empire. The Wizard Spite lives alone, a man known for his bitterness more than anything else. Once a great artist and entertainer in his 20's, now a drained and bleak individual in his 50's.

#worlds beyond number #Worlds Beyond Number OC #wbn #worldsbeyondnumber #wbn pod #the wizard the witch and the wild one #Am I making a lot of assumptions and head-cannons about the citadel? #of course i am #It doesn't feel entirely wrong to me either #If we learn more about other schools of magic ill change him a bit #But i guess that's for when we learn more about the world huh #Anyways no art of him because i don't really draw #but he has a yellow robes with red accents in my head #Also based on name cloaks being called shots and what not and what was discussed in the world building fireside chat #Spite is a very large and powerful name to live up to #Which i believe he gained more of a sense of magical presence physically as his own Spite towards himself grew #idk if thats described right or if it even makes sense but its a way i imagine it in my head #Also feel free to ask any question you want about him #im still not entirely sure how tumblr works but I think my asks and Dms are open

#the sex lives of college girls #joely watches things #.txt #since this is getting some notes (this is a lot of engagement on a post for me as i’m newly returned to tumblr and have 20 followers lmao) #i don’t dislike any of the storylines necessarily but GOD they rushed through them #i swear tatum and leighton were together for 1.5 episodes max before they broke up #and the alicia plot line felt so rushed too - with leighton saying ‘these are my friends’ after not seeing them for MONTHS? #kimberly and jackson barely got time to get past their one argument and then she’s suddenly crushing on canaan #who also wants her??? which came out of nowhere for me #and whitney and the white boy (forgot his name sry) were cute but that also went so fast lol #i wanted her and canaan back together tbqh but like it’s fine that they didn’t #but why did they have to make it a love triangle?! so unnecessary #AND BELA?!?! has been selfish and awful all season #i loved her with eric - i was rooting for them sm #then she suddenly realises how awful she’s been and immediately decides she has to fix it - instant growth ?! #anyway she needs therapy - not to change schools #just… a mess #please give us longer shows again @ tv networks #slocg spoilers

[artemislosthunter]

apparently I can only be successful on one platform bcs while my art acc on instagram has been getting more and more attention, the notes on my tumblr blog have been getting lower and lower

#especially the reblog to like ratio like it was always bad bcs idk new tumblr users are afraid of reblogging things? #but holy fuck it has gotten so much worse #and I haven't even changed anything slkjdslk #like don't get me wrong I still get excited abt 30 people liking my stuff! THAT IS A LOT OF PEOPLE! THAT'S A WHOLE CLASS #but also damn times have changed when I get more traffic on INSTAGRAM #that thing with an algorithm which I literally do not even play into #smth smth newer tumblr users killing the way this website works smth smth

[spaciebabie]

I don’t think I’ll be on this platform anymore, at least for now, due to everything that’s happening. I’d just like to keep away from it and supporting it at all. See you later, maybe.

#putting this in the tags so it doesnt feel like im trying 2 change your mind! #i am definitely not! but what people hafta realize is that every single internet platform is either in support of or silent on israel #on every platform posts are being suppressed. its not just here i assure you #the only way ta....not support ANY large internet platform is just ta not use the internet at all unfortunately #im surprised that so many people were surprised at the news of tumblr's ceo? all ceos suck DICK #people are treating tumblr as if its a unique case and it is definitely NOT LMAO #im happy people feel so passionate about this!! but also ppl are jumping ship 2 twitter and twitters ceo is....from what im hearing #also terrible in this situation?? #im afraid almost everywhere on the internet is a similar story. #also....the only way you're really supporting tumblr is if you buy stuff from them #my blog doesnt generate them any profit im not sure where people are hearing this from- #but again. even if it did its the same situation other major platforms are in #that doesnt mean you shouldnt be upset though! continue ta put your best efforts where you can!! #spacie splains #anybeans #heartbeat anon we may never see each other again but i want u ta know that your writing has touched me as well as a lot of people <333 #ill always treasure what you gifted me!! #never gonna forget you fr fr #stay safe!! have a good one :>

[wild-at-mind]

In all seriousness, when I was in my 20s I spent way too much time reading tumblr and trying to figure out the right opinions to have on everything. It was pretty soul destroying now that I look back.

#although the people i consider my people (leftists and the left leaning) are always turning on people for slight disagreements #so i guess it was self preservation in a way #luckily i basically never posted back then only read #the truth is a lot of the disagreeing and fucking infighting on the left is internet sickness #and a lot of people who seem to know what they are talking about on here are actually talking out of their ass- seriously. #they don't need to know what they are talking about because everyone reading knows even less #my criteria for which leftists i respect is 'can they handle a slight disagreement with someone broadly on their side- #do they engage in good faith or do they mock and belittle?' #and i understand anyone on here with over a certain amount of folllowers who talks about politics will get bait and bad faith asks and stuf #i'm not saying you have to engage with bait in good faith! #just the real stuff. #i kind of regret this now but i engaged on a post that was using the word liberal in the coloquial (meaningless) tumblr way #that was when someone i followed (unfollowed now) apologised to the op of the post for my dumb idiocy- i was like ohhhhh #and then the op of the post responded to me like 'i'm using the true definition of liberal! which is: [really confusing explanation]' #the truth is there is no one definition because the left and right use it differently #when the right says liberal in a derogatory way they don't mean 'not those further left people though! they are really respectable + cool' #nah they mean the further left also #the point is the term liberal has no set meaning- it changes with context and no one bothers providing the context #i will stop now this is too rambly even for me
