listen people can have their differing opinions that’s cool I just Personally Feel Like it’s just so mean to be yelling that feedback such as likes on posts and a kudos on fics are “useless”. What do u mean. Why. are ppl not expressing their feelings in a way that makes them comfortable ? ?
Like I Understand i guess in the sense of you don’t get to hear peoples opinions. I also feel kinda lonely and stuff when it’s quiet feedback but calling anything useless sounds so WEIRD to me ??? What is the goal. And also yea they do something still I’m pretty sure????
Take ao3. Isn’t sort by kudos an option on there? If your goal is to be seen more or whatever then if people are looking for high kudos fics, then people giving ur fic a kudos isn’t useless yeah??
And then tumblr. People keep saying “likes do nothing here there’s no algorithm” or whatever but that’s not really fully true. On your standard dashboard, sure, likes “don’t do anything” to move a post around on there. BUT that’s not the only place people find posts. If u are looking in the tags for posts, im p sure the default is to sort by popular posts. That’s, as far as I understand, a TOTAL NOTES count. Likes are included. Likes help ur posts her higher in that “popular” zone. I have several posts that have ended up in there in some small ship tags BECAUSE of all the likes, which does still have people seeing those posts now and then when they’re in the tag.
AND I’m pretty sure it’s a similar mechanic for the for you page. I’m sure we think people don’t use that feature but I’m pretty sure people do/ maybe new users. This is more of a theory on my part lol buttttt. I’ve noticed a few rare times where I’ve made an addition to a reblog on someone else’s post, there will be a stretch of time sometimes where random people that Do Not Follow Me keep liking/reblogging the post via my addition. WAY more times for it to just be a stray person wanting it from my addition without comments under (and I don’t think people do that when they’re only liking the post lol). And the few times I’ve accidentally had my for you tab on, I believe it does show via other people’s reblogs lol. So that’s just my way of saying total note count INCLUDING LIKES probably does put posts in peoples eyes on the for you tab / my experience tells me people do use that feature so it’s not just sitting there dusty lol.
Anyway I like mostly understand why people want reblogs and comments, like I do prefer them too bc I like when people tell me what they r thinking (however sometimes people do not add their thoughts in the tags either and that is just how it is!). And I also understand some people maybe just don’t know that others like that kind of feedback and need to hear it first to feel encouraged. I think I just personally do not like the tone that a lot of posts have when they talk about it. When ur calling likes useless bc idk it’s not the right kind of feedback u wanted so it’s inferior ?? 😭😭😭 I also feel like that intense vibe like, idk if this makes sense or if other people felt it too, but it negatively shifted my own perception too? Like. I thought likes were fine. But now with how intense people are about them and not meant if likes bc they just don’t count in ur eyes, now when people like instead of reblogging, I just think of all those posts and I’m like “hmm ok is my post bad did I make a bad post bc everyone says the likes aren’t good so if I’m getting likes I made A Bad Post. It’s Pity Feedback” <- which is SO unhealthy and also tbh has a lot more to do with my own issues that are just getting influenced here so it’s not all on those posts lol. I just Also Have Extra Issues 🫡
Ok jeeze I don’t wanna sound soap boxy tho so I’m NOT letting people rb this aJsndjfcjfjfjcjfj and ppl can absolutely have different feelings and opinions about the situation it’s fine. this is just. how I feel ✌️

✮🛸intro🪐✮
we’re a plural system who has been on tumblr for a little bit and are redoing certain aspects of our blog to be a bit more accurate! many of us are nonhuman in the headspace in one way or another (kin, holothere, etc). in addition to this, we’re all collectively a goop dog alien who also has parasites, or as we call them, “bugs”! we are physically goop, but are usually in a human form as it takes too much effort to intentionally shift so might as well stay in disguise. we are also able to rarely shift into other creatures, such as a jerboa, but we usually stay human or sometimes our true body. originally we were nervous about bringing up the whole physically nonhuman thing, but with the recent explosion in holothere content, we decided to go ahead and show that part of ourselves to tumblr. also, we mostly use the color purple, despite the rainbow username so yeah.
✮🛸basic info🪐✮
~ our name is goop (collective identity) or lemons (tumblr system name)!
~ we’re usually fine with any pronouns (including it/it’s) collectively, but certain headmates have preferences
~ we use the label holothere usually, but don’t rlly care much abt or mind labels
~ we’re probably neurodivergent so keep that in mind!
~ some of us are adults, while others are not
~ we don’t rlly have a set dni, just don’t be a jerk yk?
~ endo system (no syscourse, most of us hate discourse and all that stuff)
~ we’re still learning abt the whole parasitical bugs thing, and will add more abt that whenever we find stuff out
~ plz interact u you want, we like to try and meet new people even tho we’re bad at social stuff! (rbs, asks, comments are much appreciated!)
~ we mostly post nonhuman and alterhuman stuff, so except to see that kind of thing on this blog as we get better at writing (we struggle with writing so we’ll see how much improving actually happens lol)
~ pfp is a more online sona version of what we look like, which was designed by a friend!

Okay, my brain is still a little scrampled eg :tm: and foggy and I'll have to go to sleep again soon but I want to ramble about this as I think writing it down may help others but also help to ram it in my own head a little bit - so this may not be worded the way id like it to but hopefully the message will still come across
This is about fanwork/headcanons/aus and such - since I am working on quite a big Deltarune AU myself and I constantly worry about it not being "canon" enough, since it is meant to be canon-esk and develop things that the player doesn't see in the game.
But... That is kind of the magic of aus! You can do so much cool stuff with an existing media, potray things your own way, change things to suit your needs or change problematic things, add cool ocs, add cool headcanons and make them canon in the au and create things to support them even more, and other things!!! literally go ham and have fun!!!!!! i am thinking abt that one post that i rbd a while ago that i rbs bc of the last addition abt aus and how people should make oc worlds at that point (and how that is how twilight was created)
And I suppose, if you change canon characters too much and claim them as your ocs (like the fucking mass amount of spamton ex ocs, and we know how i feel about those /neg) but still!! literally just have fun its not harming anyone, only absolutely butthurt negative assholes!!! ive been worrying about changing stuff in **MY** au because one or two people out there may not like it.
if you were in the early bugsnax fandom you may remember the drama about people giving them tails. yes!! people argued abt giving grumpuses tails!! and like !!who cares!! change the designs however the fuck you want! go ham!! make them fluffy! give them cute ears and tails! give them paw pads! give them cool markings! make them in your design and make your version of them truly yours and make it fun to draw! im sure all those designs are lovely and fun and if you wanna do it nothing should fucking stop you
and same goes for me and other ppls hcs!! currently i was worrying about making everything kinda furry-esk in my dpau and all that, and the MASSIVE changes ive done to plugboys and yesmen especially (literally making yesmen snake people for several reasons)
and like!! who cares its not canon!! its MY interpretation!! its MY au!! my au that changes so much stuff and allows me to create an amazing oc story and world within an pre-existing media AND letting those characters interact with canon characters!! and add new stories with canon characters and expand canon species!! literally dont hold yourself back unless it stresses you out and shit! (i need to learn that lol..i add TOO much stuff) its not even canon and i fully know the difference!!!
but literally! its also an outlet for creativity and i think you should be allowed to go ham if you want. if someone tells you to not do something like give grumpuses tails or make the addisons fluffy theyre an asshole.
literally like as long as ur not making the media harmful like add gross shit like p//dophilia, z//philia and whitewash characters or do any other racist digusting shit then i think u should be allowed to have fun! wanna make smthn a furry? go on ahead have fun literally fuck ppl!! who is it harming????????? like! you can also dislike these things! just scroll look away, maybe block which is all fine and healthy you can and should do that! if a hc doesnt match yours and may make you uncomfy literally just ignore it. dont start shit thats pointless. spend ur time better, draw cute puppies instead or smthn!! or speak about it privately bc i think being a bit bitchy with friends is okay to have an outlet but if you go directly after someone literally fuck off. (i personally can confirm theres some things i bitch about a lot but guess what i also do!! i also block those things and look away!! and im actively tryna get better than be hurt over pointless stuff online bc its not smthn im proud of)
but like srsly.. let ppl have fun n shit!!! srsly theres no harm in it fjgirhgotr yall 2 serious

does anyone ever just have like,, i guess a ‘god moment’ would be a way to describe it? a moment where you make someone laugh so hard they snort and clutch their stomach, or you grab your friend before they walk into a busy road and keep your hand on their shoulder for a few extra seconds, or you quiet a baby’s crying and hold them close to feel their tiny warmth, and you just have this sense of purpose? this moment where you think ‘yes, yes this is what we’re here for’? or when you hug someone and they tremble slightly and grab on tighter, or you sing in a crowd so huge and loud your voice is drowned out but your ears never forget the sound of everyone belting the lyrics, or when you jokingly race someone and it stops being about who wins and starts being about how good it feels to have your body moving alongside another? maybe im over romanticising the mundane, maybe i’m trying to find meaning in nothing, but i cant help but hold on to these little moments where it feels like i’ve found something i’m usually missing, i think that it’s a kind of prayer for me, a kind of coming home

romantic nicknames/pet names in spanish
Cause i’ve seen some truly atrocious use of google translate in recent (nandermo) fics and i don’t want to bash any1 cause obvi they just didn’t know n it wasn’t on purpose so the answer isn’t to bitch but instead try to educate.
let’s start with the most popular and used one’s meanings, then some more specific ones, and end w/ what to probably not do but like if you wanna go for it, do it, im not the boss of u
Amor - Love (can have ‘mi’ which means ‘my’ before it (“mi amor”) but that’s no necessary; can be used like “babe”)
Cariño - Darling (ok, roughly darling?? means ‘one who is cared for’ with the implication you are the one who cares for them, cariño (the noun) also means affection) 
Cielo - Sky/Heaven (this ones what it says on the tin, like ‘amor’, can have ‘mi’ before it; kinda saying that they’re your heaven? but its not that deep, tbh. also can be ‘cielito’ which mean ‘little sky/heaven’ and is more cutesy)
Mi vida - My life (this one can’t be separated from the ‘mi’)
Corazón - Heart (i see this one used rarely? but its also used. also you can say ‘mi corazón’ too)
Other names:
Tesoro - Treasure (show stopping, spectacular imo, you can also use ‘mi tesoro’ if u want which is also /chef’s kiss/ in my opinion)
Gordo/a - Fat [person] (ok so this is a cultural thing, but anyone can be called gordo (masculine) or gorda (femenine) regardless of whether theyre fat or not, its just like a Thing. also can be expressed as ‘gordito/a’ which means ‘little fat one’)
Flaco/a - Thin [person] (like the last one, not necessarily literal, can be used for anyone - flaco (m) and flaca (f). alsooooo in some places ‘flacos’ (plural) is informal for ‘partner’ (tienes flaco = do you have a partner, son flacos = they’re partners, etc.) and typically used by/around young ppl (kinda like gf/bf??))
Additonal comments: calling people ‘baby’ isn’t really a common romantic thing? like yes the english word ‘baby’ in spanish convo is romantic but ‘nene/a’ isn’t really (in my experience, different places have different customs). ‘bebe’ is also rare, tho. 
Make most pet names diminutive/cutesy w/ -ito/a. I will do so for everything on the list: Amorcito, cariñito, cielito, corazoncito, tesorito. Be warned that most of these are so cutesy some are even cringey??? so like. tread lightly lmao. Also, the one’s you can add ‘Mi’ before are amor, cielo, corazón, and tesoro; the rest you could too? ig?? but its not really used.
sidenote, this is not to dissuade or discourage any1 from using google translate, like, its fine, its a useful tool and makes do when its one word out of 20k or whatever, but sometimes these little things bring native speakers out of it so like i wanted to share this list to do so! if you want to hunt for some odd ones on ur own, the word for nickname in spanish is ‘apodo’, so maybe googling “apodos romanticos” will help get u some hidden gems. but like, keeping it basic like this is fine as well.
ok! so that’s ceci’s helpful list. if any of y’all have any questions, feel free to send an ask/dm me! if any1 has any additions/corrections, you are more than welcome to rb w/ those. also if any1 who knows/speaks Farsi or Greek wants to add stuff they know, i would absolutely adore that! ok that’s it, go forth and write cute spanish addendums to words of adoration <33

Partey, Willian and the players on Arteta's wish list
It is going to be an intriguing off-season at Arsenal.
The need to improve the squad is clear, but exactly how the cash-strapped Gunners are going to manage it remains a bit of a mystery.
Mikel Arteta has not hidden his desire to bring in new additions, something he believes is essential if Arsenal are to start closing what he describes as the "enormous" gap that exists between themselves, Liverpool and Manchester City.
“You can see how [Liverpool] build their squad and there is no magic,” said the Spaniard. “You need to improve the squad with quality, quality players. And we need a bigger squad to compete in this competition. That is the challenge.”
But with Arsenal’s finances in a very difficult position due to the coronavirus pandemic and with Champions League football beyond them once again next season, money is going to be exceptionally tight - especially if they fail to beat Chelsea in the FA Cup final and miss out on European football altogether.
There is a cloud of uncertainty hanging over the Emirates at the moment, one that will not be lifted until after the Wembley showpiece on August 1 and until the future of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is decided one way or another.
“If you ask me if I know right now what do I have and how can I do it, I'm sorry but I don't know because there are a lot of questions that we can not resolve right now with the situation we have,” said Arteta.
“One is financially and the other one is because we do not know if we are in Europe and because we have players that we don't know what's going to happen [with them]. That's the reality.”
Arsenal's likely summer transfer signings
Arteta is looking at his midfield as the key priority this summer.
He wants to add a box-to-box midfielder, one who can offer the defence some real protection, but who can also get the ball moving forward to get Arsenal on the front foot.
Thomas Partey is his primary target, with the Atletico Madrid midfielder having long been identified as a player who could make a significant impact in north London.
Arsenal were interested in the Ghana international last year before Arteta even arrived, and the Spaniard is more than happy for that chase to continue this summer.
The issue for Arsenal is his price tag. Partey has a release clause of £44 million ($50m), and that is a figure that Arsenal will struggle to pay unless they sell first to help raise funds.
There is an option to try and include a player in some sort of swap deal with Atleti, with the Spanish side having held a long-term interest in Alexandre Lacazette, who has two years left on his current deal.
Matteo Guendouzi, who has been training alone at London Colney following the fall-out from his clash with Neal Maupay at Brighton, could also be of interest to Atletico. Lucas Torreira is another player Arsenal could potentially look to include to tempt Madrid into doing a deal.
Partey is well aware of Arsenal’s interest and is understood to be open to the idea of moving to Arsenal, which is why he has so far held off signing the new contract that has been offered to him by Atletico.
The next few weeks will be key in terms of Arsenal landing their number one target this summer.
Arteta is also keen to bring Dani Ceballos back to the club for another season, with Arsenal currently talking to Real Madrid about another season-long loan for the midfielder, who has been in fine form in recent weeks.
A permanent move is unlikely at this stage, but Arsenal are confident of sealing another season-long loan for the 23-year-old.
Another midfield option could be Porto's Danilo Pereira, who has welcomed reports linking him with a move to the Emirates.
“(Arteta) is doing a really, really, good job there,” Pereira told Stats Perform News. “He is a really good coach and Arsenal play very good football.
“The style…I think I can fit there (at Arsenal). Of course, I like to be here in Porto, to be here in my country, but I want to be in a better league like the Premier League.”
As well as looking to bolster the engine room in midfield, Arsenal are hoping to add some extra creativity in the attacking areas.
Orkun Kokcu was a target, but he has now signed a new long-term contract extension at Feyenoord.
Willian, meanwhile, is a player of interest and is set to be available on a free transfer, providing he does not make a late U-turn to sign a new deal with Chelsea.
The Brazil winger is happy in London and it would not be a surprise if he were to follow in the footsteps of David Luiz in making the switch from Stamford Bridge to the Emirates.
Philippe Coutinho continues to be linked, with Barcelona desperate to get the former Liverpool playmaker off their books. But a permanent deal would be impossible for Arsenal given the finances involved, and even a loan would be unlikely, given the Brazil international’s £250,000 wages.
Arsenal are also looking at bringing in another centre-back this summer to go along with the arrival of William Saliba, who has spent the past year on loan at Saint-Etienne.
Dayot Upamecano has long been admired in north London and could be on the move this summer, given he only has a year left on his contract with RB Leipzig and the German club have been adamant they will not allow the centre-back to leave for free in 2021.
He has a release clause of around £54m ($69m), but Leipzig are likely to accept less than that at this stage due to his contract situation. Arsenal would still be unlikely to afford their asking price, however.
They do have other options, with the club having held talks with free agent Malang Sarr, who has just left Nice. The Gunners have also watched Axel Disasi on several occasions and have contacted Reims about his availability.
John Stones, who could become surplus to requirements at Manchester City should Pep Guardiola sign a new centre-back, has also been linked.
Whether Arsenal look to bring in a new forward depends on the futures of Aubameyang and Lacazette. If one leaves, then a replacement will need to be brought in.
Gunners scouts have watched Celtic’s Odsonne Edouard on several occasions this season and have enquired about Gent’s Jonathan David, although a move to France or Germany looks likely to be the Canada international’s next move. Moussa Dembele at Lyon is another player who is admired in north London.
Arsenal's likely summer transfer exits
Matteo Guendouzi is looking increasingly likely to leave north London this summer having fallen out with Mikel Arteta.
The French midfielder is currently training on his own and has not featured since the defeat at Brighton on June 20 when he clashed with Seagulls striker Neal Maupay soon after the full-time whistle.
Sources close to Guendouzi insist the player is just concentrating on getting through to the end of the season when a decision on his future will be made, but Arsenal are believed to have been offering him to various clubs around Europe, either for a straight fee or as a part of a swap deal.
Lucas Torreira’s future remains unclear, with the Uruguay international yet to nail down a starting spot under Arteta. He was substituted after just 45 minutes against Aston Villa on Tuesday and has several clubs in Italy keeping tabs on his situation.
Arsenal would love to move Mesut Ozil on and get his £350,000-a-week salary off the wage bill, but the German playmaker has always been adamant he will see out his current deal, which expires in 2021.
The future of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang will dominate the headlines until he decides whether or not to extend his stay with the Gunners. If he does not, then Arsenal will have to decide whether to cash in this summer or let him leave on a free transfer in 2021.
Sokratis, who has played just one minute of football since the restart, would be allowed to leave, though sources close to the player insist at this point he is happy to stay, with one year left on his current deal.
Arsenal would also be willing to let Sead Kolasinac and Mohamed Elneny depart should suitable bids arrive, while Ainsley Maitland-Niles has been linked with a move away - although Arteta insists he wants to keep the academy graduate.
It is likely Jordi Osei-Tutu will move following his impressive loan spell with VfL Bochum last season. He has now returned to England, but will not want to go back to Under-23s football.
Highly-rated young forward Folarin Balogun is also expected to exit the club after talks over a new contract broke down.
How Arsenal could line up after the transfer window
If there are to be significant changes in the Arsenal XI for the 2020-21 season, they will more than likely come in the midfield areas.
If they can get deals done for Thomas Partey and Willian, they would come into the team, while William Saliba will slot into the backline following the end of his loan spell with Saint-Etienne.
One interesting sub-plot to follow will be who gets the nod in goal.
Bernd Leno was the undoubted No.1 before his injury, but the exceptional form of Emiliano Martinez will give Arteta a difficult decision to make ahead of the new campaign.
