Aah, I’m so happy I made it in in time! 💙✨ Merry Christmas, tumblr nation! Here’s a little comic about 03 Usagi and Leo going so see the Rockefeller tree after the events of the Christmas Aliens episode.

Little post about events earlier that night

Also this is literally how maskless Leo looks to me, he’s so moomincore ;

Still not used to my engagement ring cause it’s been less than a week so when i do have it on i’m like What The Fuck Is On My Finger but when i’m not wearing it i’m like Where The Fuck Is My Ring

#anyway i got engaged last week and this is my lowkey way of saying it on tumblr

the mum of a close friend of mine has been battling cancer for a few years now, and sadly, she was admitted on monday to the hospital. Her health has been rapidly declining and she probably won‘t have much time left. While we all think of Kate in this very though time, I‘d be eternally grateful to you if you could keep my friend, her mum, her family and everyone who‘s currently battling with this hell of an illness in your prayers and send them all the strength possible <3

#i‘m rarely talking about personal stuff here but this is so close to my heart #my friend just got engaged last week #her fiancee asked her earlier so her mum could still see the ring #she‘s 26 and has younger siblings who are still in high school #it‘s just so sad #i wish cancer would just be a star sign #feel for kate and hee family and friends

Zukka week 2023

Day 7: engagement & enemies to lovers (divorce)

Like I'm not forgetting "FLWOGB", neither Will be with "A Song of Ice and Fire" fic by @avatarthelastbackbender. The quote comes from "House of the dragon". Well, this ship it's SLOOOOW BURN , and the quote it's perfect.

Versión without the quote:

@zukkaweek

[ID : dark Background, read feathers or maybe from the weirdwood, or scales or flames... Depends from the perspective. Zuko and Sokka are the main focus, holding together. Sokka touches Zuko's necklace, and his right hand appears from the back of Zuko, with a dagger that threats the boy, it could seems blood at the tip. Sokka looks at Zuko's eye, very serious, conflicted. While Zuko, Who holds Sokka's wrist, and his other hand firebends. His gaze is sad, tender, because even if Sokka threats him and take a thread of blood, he feels something for the Stark. They are enemies for the Targaryen's actions, but that doesn't stop the feelings. Around them the quote from 'House of the Dragon' (Driftmark) from Rhaenyra Targaryen: "Always meant to burn together". END ID]

Done with vacation, prepping for a big workday tomorrow and finally got a chance to look at the container worksheet for ""the izcourse"" and it's been really nice to see people's responses to it and to the post.

Thank you to everyone who’s given their two cents, reblogged, and who’s expressed support to the idea of a restorative approach to harm (especially racist harm) in the fandom.

In the spirit of seeing this bear fruit, I've decided to make the spreadsheet "view only" since the last time it got a response was three days ago. I think it's reached a point where there's enough to glean useful information (DM me if u wanna add more).

@ourflagmeansgayrights thank you for doing the work of disseminating the post within your circles. and for keeping this dialogue open. I hope your tumblr break goes well 👋🏽 Tho I was hoping for other voices to join in on the conversation, I didn't expect for them to come in thru our dialogue like that.

When you shared that list, I saw an opportunity to contribute skills and knowledge I have in service of a fandom community that I really care about. A lot of people have expressed in tags that they want to see this go somewhere. Even if its just out of curiosity, even if it’s A Lot, even if it’s really intense, and even if they’re not invested in “the izcourse” itself.

Community care, especially liberation-centered community care, takes vulnerability and creativity and courage and discomfort. I’m sure a lot of us didn’t sign up to do “community care” as part of our fandom experience. We also didn’t sign up for verbal abuse, targeted harassment, and strangers on the internet threatening our livelihoods.

As I mentioned before, I’m a trained facilitator and educate community members on anti racism irl. Creating spaces for people to come together and learn from each other is just what I do 🤷🏽‍♀️ and this IS A Lot. It’s also well worth the trouble. I think @blow-me-a-kis put it beautifully in these tags.

#the izcourse #ofmd #I fucks heavy with the work Snann is doing to improve the conditons of fandom #we don't all have to be best friends #but we can make this fandom better and we should try #because ofmd means a lot to all of us and we deserve to have accord in the few places in the world where we get a say #talk it through as a crew #also Hell Yeah to my fellow BIPOC canyonites!!! #the responses to the worksheet are brilliant and such a satisfying read #| want yall to understand this is LOVE #Bell Hooks said # Love is a combination of care commitment knowledge responsibility respect and trust #thats what we are building here

(I know that the bit about the Izzy Canyonite responses won’t resonate with everyone. I left it on the tags because believing one can be objective about anything is a trap. 🌻 I can own that “Izzy Canyon” is the subset of the fandom that I’m in and still be invested in the well-being of fans of color and other vulnerable fans throughout the fandom. Also leaving Kis’ words of affirmation because it feels good when ppl recognize that work’s been going into this. Loving and freely given but work nonetheless)

Love is caring about the well-being of the people in the ofmd fandom matters in both concrete (I want my friends to be ok) and abstract ways (other fans deserve to have a fandom experience that’s life affirming). It’s standing up for fellow fans, especially People of Color and other vulnerable fans, when we see them being abused in our digital sandbox. It’s accepting that our hearts beat faster (and not in a pleasant way) when we talk and think about these things because they matter to us.

So this is a direct request to everyone, particularly “Izzy critical” fans, who’re interested in an effort to address harm in our ofmd fandom community restoratively.

Little explanation for each point

Illustrates the “social landscape” we’re working on, particularly the extent of our common ground. Especially useful for an online community

What are the wounds we’re dealing with? Where does repair need to happen?

Compile the responses to harm listed. This will help determine what responses actually mitigate and discourage harm. It could also help us see where there’s room for culture change/innovation.

Identify the grievances expressed by Izzy fans (particularly fans of color) as well. @ourflagmeansgayrights suggested this. I’m pretty sure this information can be gleaned from the sheet itself and any of the earlier posts that brought us here.

This is not the only way to proceed, but it’s an idea.

The end goal is “come up with restorative ways to address and reduce harm, especially racist harm, in the ofmd fandom.” I don’t know exactly how we’ll get there but it’d be really neat if we could do it by honoring one of the show’s iconic lines and central themes:

#the izcourse #izzy critical #izzy canyon #ofmd discourse #ofmd fandom discourse #fandom racism #fandom discourse #restorative justice #long post #tl;dr something’s gotta change so #if you won’t do it for love of community or a commitment to anti racism and anti oppression #do it because ppl engaging with my last post really fucking pissed off izzy/Stede anon #like they really went on a field day last week #I won’t repost the extreme shit they sent ppl #Izzy-anti-archive is doing the hard work of keeping that #anyway I turned off anon after the last message I got #yes I see you. no you’re not getting a platform from my little fandom blog #and yes the shit you say is very racist AND hurtful #you get no freely given access to me #I strongly suggest others turn off anon too #izzy critical fans are right about the fact that rn all that we can do about anon is to ice them out #🤷🏽‍♀️ #didn’t add this to the body of the post because it’s long enough as it is

i don't make resolutions, but if i did

it would be to finish this fic

(and to be kind to myself for however long it takes to actually do so)

#i'm finishing it if it kills me #i know i've been writing this makeout scene for 3 weeks but baby that can't last forever #if we want to get deep and dark and serious for a second i do think a lot of my struggles to write lately have to do with engagement #and how incredibly low engagement has been on the last few things i've written #which like. is what it is. i'm not entitled to anybody's time or comments or kudos. #but when you write stuff you're proud of and it feels like it's barely getting read it's hard to keep momentum. #this isn't intended as a woe is me or whatever it's just kind of like. there. hovering. #happens enough times you start to wonder if it's you. am i just writing for the wrong fandom/ship? #(too bad if so. they're in my bones i'm writing for them and no one can stop me.) #but yeah. if you ever wonder if authors do care or notice about hits. comments. kudos. buddy i am here to tell you #not only do we care and FLOURISH we also notice when those things drop off and readers vanish #and it is a giant bummer. and sometimes makes us wildly paranoid about why that might have happened. #so if you liked a fic today--not even one of mine. just. anybody's. share it. comment on it. #kudos at the VERY least (cuz frankly kudos is there to be an 'i got to the end and this was nice' feature. #so when you get 500 hits and only like 30 kudos? it feels like 470 of those people hated your work) #anyway. that got out of hand. lil' too raw lil' too honest. happens when you let yourself ramble at 11:30 instead of sleeping #to sum: let your local fic writer know if they've made you happy #and as we go into 2024 i am swearing to myself that this fic (and probably several others) are getting finished #come hell. high water. or dishearteningly low engagement numbers. #(and then maybe we...actually work on something original. cuz why not. new year same old me but i'll do my best.)

[raksh-writes]

Im a pent-up ball of pure stress and restlessness (like chest-tight and heart pounding type of stress) and I have 0 idea what to do with myself, because anytime I want to try and go distract myself with Something my anxiety spikes and my brain goes "!!! NO!!! DANGER!!! LOOK OUT FOR DANGER!!!" so I guess I'll just spend the day pacing the house and refreshing the same 3 pages on repeat, huh...

#personal #Raksh posts #tomorrow I'll know if I got back into uni #so that's the culprit #but I also have no way of assuaging it so fuck me I guess 😩 #and depending on if I do or dont get in #its either gonna be a full on depressed crying or a crazy busy next week #plus so much has been happening all around #I finished my internship last friday #we found out our doggo is sick and we're going with her to a vet cardiologist next friday #my younger cousin Ive always been quite close with came to visit with her boyfriend and announced yesterday they got engaged #my bro today said he's planning to marry next year #Im trying not to let my crippling loneliness take me over #it's kinda a lot when all put together 🙈 #I thought maybe I could finish typing up what I have of my recent vegaspete AU #its a super indulgent time travel a/b/o shifterd thingy with outsider pov - Nops in this first part #and so I could maybe have something to finally post sometime soon and motivate me to write some more #but I can't focus on that #Ive also thought of maybe gaming a bit #Id actually like to check out Cyberpunk with this new 2.0 update #but again it feels like anytime I try to occupy myself with something my brain goes into alarm mode ughhh #this stressing business is so useless and unproductive why isnt there a switch to it I could just flip and turn it off?? #ughhhhh anyway #Im just venting dont mind me #hoped putting it down in some way shape or form would help but will it work? prob not 😂😪 #vent #rant

so basically. after watching all twelve hundred whatever episodes of the pokemon anime my final take is that ash has 7384849384 hands and they are ALL for pokemon battling

#and his platonic best friend clemont #taylor.txt #taylor watches anipoke #i finished the last episode (which was the last episode of bw for me bc i watched in a weird order but w/e) last week #and ive got a lot of thoughts but mostly im just trying to pick out which episodes/arcs i Need to watch in japanese #to make myself like. have better more cohesive Opinions About Things #this was a 6 month investment and it has taken a toll on my braincells for sure but yeah #not an ace ash post btw i just think theres something deeply intimate about the way he engages with rivals and friends via pokemon battles #and its all very Polyamorous. im joking its all a joke. i dont take anything seriously #im still writing my gary essay though

[sniffanimal]

I now have a policy about not interacting with discourse if I wouldn't be able to explain it to my dear friend who owns a flip phone. if I try to explain it to her and she just replies with "that's dumb, why are people fighting about this?" then I know it's not worth arguing about online

#badger rants #this post is slightly a sham aas she got her first iphone last week because a friend gave it to her #but she doesnt have data on it and only uses it to take nice pictures of her cat (eddie) #but up until now shes had a flip phone #anyways its the whole touch grass thing. like if nobody in real life would understand or care #then why waste my brain cells reading yoour stupid discourse #context: i spent an hour explaining the trans infighting on this website to her son today and decided #that none of this actually matters. you may think it dooes. but it doesnt. any post engaging with trans infighting i no longer care about

thank you for your service

It’s important to protect your peace 💗🌸

#I haven’t looked at a single comment section since the race #those so called news site will rehash his comments and write think pieces about his performance #because it’s a non race week and they need the clicks for engagement #people will talk whether rightfully so or not #but it truly doesn’t change anything to engage with that. it’s not going to magically erase those 2 bad weekends #and it’s also not going to mean that’s his whole season done #it is what it is #let’s see what happens in Melbourne #and I for one I’m genuinely excited to see him race in Aus #going from the reaction he got last year when he was not driving? I just know people will go even more insane this time around #because he might be driving a tractor but he’s still the beloved Aussie #and I want more Daniel x Oscar content this year!!! #anon <3

[s0fter-sin]

god gives his biggest bleached buzzcut dreams to his most sensitive scalped soldiers

#i literally have such a bad scalp #its always dry and itchy and sore #like that shit is medicated #but i still want to bleach it! #even though the last time i did i got actual chemical burns! with scabs! #but my sisters engagement party is next week and ill be damned if i go to it with brown bullshit hair #i had an ultrasound yesterday and bought some shit from bigw so i was out for ages and while i dont feel as bad as i expected #i do get significantly worse every time i move #so of course i should bleach my hair which causes pain and a major adrenaline dump! #i want time to make sure its light enough and even so fuck it today it is #coming out of my cage and ive been doing just fine.txt

My 2023 was wild, not in a way that anyone would use the term "wild" except me

#this year i travelled to finland. met a beloved mutual there #next week after that travelled to sweden/denmark (like copenhagen & malmo lol) to meet my old friend (with a recent friend lol) #then like. in spring we had this active/fitness challenege that kind of speed-run developing friendship with my coworkers #that challenge lasted 3 months i think? #also bc of it i went on walks frequently around one pond and was observing day by day a swan pair nesting their eggs until eventually #i saw their babies #also went on a 19km hike and 26km hike during the event that was crazy. swore to never do it again #ALSO participated in a trail running event (6km) and swore to never do it again #then i defended my thesis and gratuated #started thinking about and applying for phd #went on a 3 day roadtrip to lithuania with family and aunts family #following week went on a 3? day roadtrip to poland with coworkers AND FILMED THEIR ENGAGEMENT #i think after that i spent some time in a coastal town to see my cousin (from sweden) #and then her; my sister and me travelled to sweden (again for me!) to bring her back home and to give my sister her first travel with plane #then i got back and got into a phd programme. #broke my car; fixed it; gave it to my sister and bought a new car #buying a new car also was a fun trip with my engaged coworkers (but within country borders and lasted a day) #then my phd studies started and with it a new job #which i realized i should quit 2 weeks in lol #then the end of year was calmer. i did have small trips for like christmas tree igniting in a small town and #coworkers birthday party that was pretty fun #thinking back it really seems wild to me

[themsource]

Um...thank you?! <333

#i somehow reached a milestone i guess? #confused honestly #i jumped up 100 followers from last week???? #and I only got like 5 follower notifs??? #bruh I've been in the 600s for literally two years #I don't even get that much engagement— #this must be a glitch #has to be #damn imma have to think of something to celebrate maybe #big maybe #still think this is Error choosing to mess with me

I love the fact that I can work as hard as I can manage with a broken tooth and a dying tooth (one on each side, I've been chewing on the cavity for a year) and I still cannot save even $10 towards getting dental treatment (2 impacted wisdom teeth, + tooth broken off under the gum, + bad cavity) because I barely make enough to cover my food and board and the insane energy bill

#I'm just ranting don't mind me it's fine I am continuing to exist as usual I may delete this later bc it's a bit of a bummer to read #I prefer to keep my blogging to fun or otherwise nonserious content because it's supposed to be for decompression no real world drama here #I got into a 3 hour body language study and earned $50 so I spent that as fun money on a couple games during the Steam sale just to #take a break from the constant cycle of getting paid and then immediately saying goodbye to all but about 15 cents #(well it was 1 game Slime Rancher 2 and then 2 expansion packs one for Planet Zoo and another for Cities Skylines long play hours mileage) #I've tried to budget to buy small things like a fan or a toothbrush maybe (mine is 8yrs old and doesn't charge sometimes) but NOPE #let alone stashing away over $2000 for the amount of treatment I need given tooth extractions are $200-$500 each #I use about $50 of groceries a week ($30 USD) sometimes up to $80 if I need to buy some extra toiletries or bonuses like ham/falafel/bread #our last quarterly power bill was $1900 FOR NO REASON even for a winter one #olessan oration #the work I have is HIT/mturk type work which pays amazingly well and I am so grateful because I can't work in a traditional environment due #my inability to sleep/wake on anyone else's schedule and need for engaging work but it also means each worker is basically a contract worke #picking their own hours which is VERY HARD to stick to for me since I may also have ADHD-i but that diagnosis also costs like $2000 in Aus #so I'm doing my best fucking lmao #I have a set minimum hours I want to keep up to and move to full time but I am so exhausted by the constant background noise of #the tooth problems that I burn out very quickly #like the tooth ache isn't that bad #the tooth is actively dying but the pain isn't unbearable it just shits me off at all times #it's bearable most of the time and doesn't affect my sleep unless the temp is cold or something #it's been bad this week tho so I've gone through almost all my ibuprofen managing it #the tooth that broke off broke off earlier in the year and the gum has mostly healed over and the dead root is concealed inside my gums now #that stopped being painful in mid 2021 but when it died it was pretty bad it did stop me sleeping for a couple weeks #Christmas 2021 involved me contemplating ripping the tooth out myself lmao #the nerve eventually died seemingly without an abscess #unless I DID have an abscess but that seems extremely unlikely because abscesses are SEVERE AND HORRIBLE AND LIFE THREATENING #sometimes I can feel the tooth ligament wiggling on its own or I like flex it by accident it's so weird bc the tooth is gone so #the ligament is still holding onto the root but with way less weight #anyway I am eating my mac n cheese n veg with the side that has the missing tooth because the cavity tooth has a big bruise along the gumli #gumline which may be from overzealous brushing (I fill the tooth will temporarily filling putty and it needs to be cleaned well when the #putty falls out)
