#has it really been 9 years?!

[dragongirlafro]

not to be mean but a lotta y'all have GOT to start turning off anons. permanently. for your mental health and sanity and overall wellbeing, especially if you are trans or otherwise queer

"but what about the ppl who wanna flirt and be horny but are too shy" that is an honest to god skill issue. if they have to hide their name and face to build up the courage to say something risqué to you in a public space (which lbh, is not the best system) they're probably not worth your time. DMs have been a thing on this site and others for a decade. imho a handful of strangers saying they think you're hot is nowhere near worth three dozen transphobes sending you death threats bc they read your post in the worst faith possible

#vi posts #it really sucks i know. and it's kind of the ''teacher punishing the whole class bc one kid misbehaved'' route #but at a certain point it becomes a matter of self respect #i see so many blogs trapped in cycles of getting 5 radioactive anons in a row and turning them off for a few days #meanwhile i turned off anon years before i even knew i was trans and in the 9 years i've been active on here #there's been a total of 3 times someone sent me something that i thought was just barely overstepping boundaries #yes maybe i'm not as popular as a lot of others out there but not even giving them the option has probably scared off quite a few dipshits

Got around to drawing my Spore creature that I’ve had since I was a kid, recreating it in my latest run!

Their patagium lets the glide short distances (usually between trees), and their large tail fin helps steer them in the air. The fin on their prehensile tail also has stronger membrane with grasping capabilities, acting as a hand.

Upon becoming a space-faring species, they rely heavily on alliances with other nations, usually in the form of spice collection jobs. They also specialize in purple spice in the trade.

#spore #spore 2008 #spore creature #spec bio #speculative biology #alien species #mimikosu #my art #was thinking of changing their species name upon recreating them buuuut ah #I have an attachment to whatever 9/10 year old me came up with sgdjdb #they don’t really wear clothes. only suiting up when out in space #or on a planet with a terascore that doesn’t match their home planet #this has been a wip forever I finally got the spoons to finish it #I have another idea for a mimi variant that evolves powered flight too hehe :3c #I’ve been popping off w art these past few days hell yeah

"woah i can't believe you've read blue sky!"

hoho. my dear followers. i have done more than read it. do you have any idea what you are dealing with.

#portal #blue sky #not art #there are two fanfic authors works i would want printed. waffles is one and i did it. #these are levels of tism you cannot even BEGIN to fathom. this book was my Personality in high school. #i mean so was portal in general but 9 years later and I've still not read a better fanfic #i've read some banger fics but blue sky remains its own level #this thing is like two inches thick. it has art in it. its beautiful. i could kill someone with it though. phonebook #alarmingly some people don't even know i like portal which is really funny #because my youtube has a bunch of crappy portal fan animations and my sona's orange hoodie is an Aperture hoodie #but i never draw myself from behind. so. actually can't blame you dhjbfjhdsfghj #my most popular video has over a million views because i edited glados into a cafeteria as a school project #i was Not Normal about portal or blue sky. not even remotely #i LOVE portal its my FAVORITE videogame #IF YOU'VE BEEN FOLLOWING ME SINCE MY CRAPPY PORTAL FANART DAYS YOU ARE A REAL ONE !!!!!!!!!!!!

Thuja - one of my bestest boys, a self hatch, and has one of my favorite bios I've written. You don't need to know a whole lot about the background story of my lore/the tab he's in (partially because most of it still only lives in my brain), other than there's an angry sun god (or two...) causing problems in my lair. ;)

#i'd post it under a cut but good lord it is longer than i thought. and formatting on fr is a little prettier #i realized i don't share my lore here very often so have an Old Man #been going around doing some touchups and I'm happy with this one. his tab is my favorite tab to write for I think #there's not many dragons of mine that have finished lore but i'm working on it............. kinda...... #(has been here for 9 years) #I wanted to have his bio as a more general summary of the Vibes of the tab. since the rest are all kinda scattered around #red tab is my most fleshed out as far as completed bios go #just something about spooky doubles really makes my brain go yippeee #working on another piece for someone else and almost done with that one. which got me thinking about posting more lore here lol #fr dragon share #flight rising

Behold! 'Tis I, the mysterious Bagginshield Cryptid, returned from the deep woods and here to visit you with another Bagginshield question. . . What is your favourite headcanon?

Choosing ONE favourite bagginshield headcanon is very difficult, but aside from the common ones, there is one of my own that I absolutely love.

I think that after Thorin reclaims Erebor and becomes King, and all the rebuilding and stuff like that is finished and everyone can live their lives normally, Thorin starts again to practice regularly the harp. He loves playing it, it's one of his favourite things to do when he isn't busy with meetings or paperwork. And Bilbo loves to listen to him playing. Harps are not common instruments in the Shire, so he's fascinated, but it's not just that. He loves how Thorin plays it. So he likes to listen to him practice and sometimes Thorin does tiny private exhibitions for him and eventually teaches Bilbo some music theory.

#the hobbit #bagginshield #thilbo #thilbo bagginshield #bilbo baggins #thorin oakenshield #headcanon #yes #teaching music theory CAN be flirty #i can confirm #because hobbits come up with songs #but come on #do you really think they can read or write a music sheet? Well I don't #and that's a bad thing #so if this royal consort wants to live in Erebor someone has to teach him #a musician? who? me? #nah #it's not like i've been playing the violin for 4 years #and the piano for 9 years #since I was five fucking years old #I started playing the piano before I even learned to read #so yes #that's my headcanon #music #harpist!Thorin lives in my heart

#Im trying to practice art again #University has taken so much of my time and I'm way out of practice #I haven't drawn anything with markers in almost 2 years. #I've been really self conscious about my sketches and kinda convinced myself that I couldn't finish anything #I'm really excited with how this came out #I love Nog's self-satisfied grin I love him so much! #And Quark's utter despair #Nog #Quark #Ds9 #deep space 9 #Star Trek #My art #adri blabs

said this to a friend before so apologies for being tacky by repeating myself but consider the doctor's discomfort with being placed in Man as a category as less of a refusal of gender than a refusal of adulthood

because thats what it is, right? the doctor's always been vaguely not-a-man in the same way and maybe sometimes in the same breath as they are vaguely not-a-human and also purposefully childish

Man and Woman are adult categories. you get to be in them by performing gender the right way, but also by being mature. and when youre in them you get a certain amount of respect for being Man or Woman, the respect of doing gender right PLUS being an adult right. degendering and infantilisation and dehumanisation often happen like, together, right?

i think the doctor's refusal of being put in a category of Man is about that maturity thing a lot more than it is about gender. i think the doctor has actual thoughts and feelings about adulthood, or maturity, or Whatever, about Being A Child and Being A Not-Child and Being Not A Child and Not Being A Child. i think they have ACTUAL opinions on that whereas they havent given gender more than a sideways glance. i think it makes a lot more sense and is a lot more true to the text to interpret their statements about manhood through that lense than anything to do with gender

theyre a lot more of a posterboy for children's rights than a posterboy for nonbinariness and i like them way better that way too. if they met a nonbinary person they'd not be surprised or confused it'd not be a deal to them but also i dont believe they'd relate it to themselves at all. when they meet children they do relate, they do place themselves in the same spot, they are on the children's side.

#i dont know why this is so agressive apparently i had some Feelings abt this fhkghjg that i finally managed to articulate #the genderness of the doctor has been frustrating me on some level for like years #like at the same time im like okay yeah obvs trans sort of inherently but also at the samet ime no theyre not???? #like YES they are. i think Renegade is doing trans the gallifreyan way #it's going your own way. it's choosing your own like caste. it's picking your own name #becoming a renegade IS the gallifreyan or A gallifreyan way of transing yourself i do believe that #but also. the doctor isnt trans in a human way at all #and like every statement hteyve made about gender you have to be like. deluding yourself at least a little to take it to be abt gender #in my opinion #like ive done. enough times. sure. it's fun to play with interpretations #but also it deosnt feel honest #it doesnt feel honest to take anything the doctor at least from 9-13 has said about gender to be about. gender #it really isnt most if not all of the time! #an di think THIS is why #and theres also like the... the doctor's concept of maturity and growing up (ive got old meta where i say it's about #dont do genocide = growing up to the doctor and i still stand behind that) #and also all this is then interesting with 13 bc i said to the same friend yesterday (sorry ymae) that 13 is kinda like an anti-coming of #age story to me. but im not putting that in the post bc thats like. reaching i think a little #in the way that im not reaching about this child stuff #but it's interesting how it interacts with 13. this seeming transness that isnt abt transness/gender #bc she transed her gender but she DIDNT. her story was about something entirely else #anyway #if i manage to articulate that in a good way i'll add it to the post for now it's this #theta sigma #also wish i had quotes at the ready abt Man and War and Children but i dont #gotta rewatch #smth smth doctors daugther beast below twice upon a time the doctor dances etc #eaters of ligth also

my mum picking me up this morning: you're not as hungover as i thought you'd be

me, just yacked in an alleyway: yeah haha

#it's 3pm now and i still cant believe that happened that was. an experience #basically my mate's 21st coincided with her sister's 30th so they both had this big joint Event last night #where they literally rented out a farm house and the field nearby and set up a whole campsite and barbeque and everything #it was really random but also really good esp bc ive been friends with this girl since we were super young #and our mums were friends so ive just got. lots of connections to her family and it was nice seeing them all again #but there was fully like 60 people at this thing and i DID drink more than i meant to but i wasn't paralytic which is good #and my hangover ISNT that bad in terms of how bad my hangovers can get #it's just that my mate's dad picked us both up at 9am this morning which was already going to be... rough #and then proceeded to do the bumpiest drive down the country lanes ive ever experienced #i was literally grinding my teeth like i am NOT about to throw up in this man's car please if there is a god do not let me throw up #and i didn't! my mum picked me up from this (thankfully very quiet) road that has this rickety old alley coming off it #and i had the very humbling moment of 'im actually going to be sick aren't i' and had to WAIT FOR AN OLD WOMAN #TO FUCKING MEANDER OUT OF THE ALLEY AND WALK FAR AWAY ENOUGH FOR ME TO AT LEAST HAVE A SHRED OF DIGNITY #and proceeded to throw up. in a public alleyway. at 9:30am on a sunday. so of course i needed to tell you guys about it #im now force feeding myself garlic bread. im going to manchester tomorrow. i have a flight at the crack of dawn on tuesday #what is even going on anymore #also fully did just do nos last night with some 30 year olds. i cannot express how fucking odd a thing that is for me to do #actually no i can express it bc youse know that im funny about drugs so for me to not even be that drunk #and get offered a fucking balloon of all things and be like 'yeah why not!' is.... odd #i know i inhaled wrong though bc it didn't do a thing which honestly im happy about <3 #hella goes home

[gaylornation]

what's actually bonkers to me is that I found out they had broken up for the final time literally the day before Lover dropped and I couldn't say shit... now here we are almost 4 years later and Karlie showed up to her show. like my mind has not fully comprehended it yet lol

#sorry for all the posts i'm going through it #like it's been almost 9 years of following this stuff #which that in itself is mind boggling to me #there are so many gaylors on tiktok and twitter now too #it's awesome but also wild cause for the longest time there was like 150 of us in our own little bubble here on tumblr lol #just getting shit on left and right by hetlors and antis cause god forbid we thought Taylor was gay lmao #i'm really not trying to sound arrogant but it's making me realize I am like the OG kaylor lol #this community has come a long way and so has Taylor #I hope she can eventually finally free herself... I know she's basically come out a million times but y'all know what I mean

the state of television right now is so so bad that i’m so scared of what happens after sunny ends for me??? shows are getting canceled after 1-2 seasons theres no room for slow, multi-season arcs everything has to be so fast paced, and writers are trying to resolve storylines as quickly as possible to wrap up a whole season in 6-8 episodes. no filler episodes. no fun. you don’t get enough time to get to know the characters at least not enough to fixate on them. there’s not enough content to drive transformative fan work that lasts beyond the first couple of weeks after a release because everything thats established by the canon is meant to drive itself forward. nothing left to the imagination (until the show inevitably gets canceled by a streaming service’s algorithm). shows don’t get the grace to find themselves and figure out how to play to their strengths after a rocky first season or two. you don’t get to fall in love with the characters gradually. you choose who you like and who you don’t like by the steering of the narrative and even in the few cases where you do earnestly end up fixated on a character on a show that’s a season long it will never be the same evergreen familiarity that comes with liking characters that have been around for 15+ seasons. if sunny got canceled after season 3 it would be an obscure blip in television history. i’m awfully brainrotted by this show and even i wouldn’t give a shit about any of these characters if all i had to work with was the first couple of seasons. i’m mourning everything that could have been in shows that never got a chance to lift off the ground. i didn’t get to fall in love with you because you cut me off after the 2nd date. i don’t know your parents names or your embarrassing third grade crush or the craziest dream you’ve had but if you gave me the chance maybe i would have loved you. and i’m so scared that i’m never gonna be able to have that with another show again.

#using sunny as an example but every show that ive ever really LOVE loved has been 9+ seasons long #and by that i mean making it my whole personality for a number of years #special interests basically #also generalizing a lot here. there’s some really amazing shows out there rn that i love but they don’t stick with me in a brainrot way #my posts have been full of dread lately i’m gonna go back to posting about macden after this i swear #big wall of text post

[toerrishumansodontbeone]

OK, Im gonna make a new blog to put my dumb oc drawings & posts on, so if thats been something you've at all been interested in, u can follow me over at @evilevilevilevilnotevilevilagain

I have GOT to get myself off of instagram, so im gonna TRY and make a commitment to post on the blog instead when the urge overtakes me.

Also maybe like, share writing & music inspo & just have somewhere to ramble abt ocs/story ideas cus I don't really have anyone to torment with it to such a degree. And unfortunately I just think abt it far too often,,,,

(also was wondering if maybe making a fresh blog would be better than bloating this one w all the super old followers n all that...... wud maybe make me less embarrassed v_v; its cringe when youre an almost 30yo adult doing this silly shit, n theres people seeing it who arent in the same boat,, but its also hard to make it into anything more substantial than just the sillies in my own void..... )

(...so maybe if its a specific space carved out just for that with similarly minded people, itd feel less discouraging...)

#readmore for longwinded explanation cus yes I have to defend myself and also explain myself #also wondering if i made a new blog for the REAL art if itd fare any better....but im guessing not I mean tumblr doenst have like algorithm #and all my arts nonfandom so tags wouldnt really do anything #idk ive apparently had this iteration of a tumblr blog for 9 years #lot of that has been p dormant too #musing abt the viability of getting any visibility on tumblr again cus legitimately I HAVE to get off insta the reel thing is rotting my #brain n ive lost the joy of posting there since I dont get any feedback anymore compared to some years back #but its also scary to completely give up on showing my art anywhere since I dont have anyhting like that irl #n I cant ever get into twitter consistently v_v; #I dont have like a BUSINESS irl ykno?

absolutely insane that everything about the wedding industry assumes that your engagement is longer than a year, grow up

#i would not want to wait longer than like...9 months after deciding to get married to actually get married #has this always been the case??? you really need to book the florist a year in advance???
