welcome to world class trash
the title isn’t self-deprecating. it’s a reference to a robot that I like a lot :)
ryn | they/them | 20+
I tend not to reply or interact with people. I also block a lot of people. Nothing personal. This is just how I survive.
FUB (follow/unfollow/block) free as always
Account is SFW mostly. Lighthearted NSFW text/dirty and mature jokes are to be expected. Content suitable for teenagers.
I tag for suicide, self harm, and sexual assault. Ask to tag for other things. I like media with dark themes, so death, blood, violent imagery will be very common. Stay safe.
Add. note: If you go far back enough in my blog, you'll find Persona 3 content (tagged p3). The media shared doesn’t depict suicide, but the series intentionally uses suicidal imagery/gun-like objects.
I tag by fandom. I use the most relevant and shortest abbreviations for the fandoms.
Add. note: Sometimes I RB without tagging and add tags later. LMK if some piece of media is triggering and shouldn’t be skipped over on the initial RB.
most relevant/used tags for now
danmei media: mxtx, mdzs, svsss, tgcf, woh, 2ha (i talk abt some other pri//est and meat//bun properties too)
games: genshin, persona, p5, p3, fe
heidraws/my art

A Guide to Adding Image Descriptions
As my followers have probably noticed, I’ve recently been adding image descriptions to posts and reblogging things with image descriptions, and I thought it might be useful to write a guide based on my experience doing them for others who might want to start doing them as well.
Image descriptions are really important for accessibility; people who use screen readers need them because screen readers aren’t great at reading images. And since about 80% of tumblr is images, this means that image descriptions are really important accessibility tool.
(Image descriptions are also really useful for people using tumblr mobile and people with bad internet, but accessibility is really the main reason to have them.)
I’m not an expert or anything, I’m just a guy who started doing this about a month ago, so I recommend you check out this post, this post, and this post, as well as this page by @keplercryptids and this page from @taakitzweek for more advice. I’ve also linked to some ID blogs at the end so you can look at how other people structure their IDs. But anyway, here are my tips for doing image descriptions.
-For me, tweets were an easy way for me to get into doing IDs since they’re typically really short; you just write out the person’s name, handle, and tweet, like this. (Most of this applies to other social media posts; for example this post for facebook and this one for instagram comments.)
-When it’s a long series of tweets (or a large photoset/gifset), I personally find it easier to have the reblog page in a new tab and flip back and forth to copy the tweets out, rather than having to scroll up and down constantly.
-Short comics were another easy way to get into them. The way I tend to do them is by ‘Panel 1: [description]. Panel 2: [description]’ etc. (Like this, or this.)
-The way I do fanart is to first say who the characters are and what show they’re from, what they look like, what they’re wearing, etc, then I describe how they’re positioned, what’s around them, and mention the lighting/mood/angle/colour pallet if I feel it’s needed.
-Another general tip for describing art is start with what you notice first (like a character or the landscape), then describe what’s around it.
-(That’s how I do it, but if you have a way that works better for you then go it it! There’s no one way to describe art.)
-For gifsets or photosets of scenes from TV shows, I write what show it is, what characters are there and what they’re doing (for example, walking down a corridor, talking outside, etc) and transcribe any dialogue. Remember to include facial expressions and gestures, and angle if it’s important.
-Do ‘gif 1: [description], gif 2: [description] if it makes the post make more sense. (For example, like this or this.)
-For moodboards, say what the theme is and then briefly describe each of the pictures. (For example, this and this.)
-For photos, usually a quick description of the main focus and important background details will be okay, don’t worry about describing every little.
-Whenever I don’t have the time or energy to do a description, I’ll save the post in my drafts and come back to it later.
-It’s always worth checking the notes to see if someone has already done an image description and reblogging from them. (Although I get it’s really frustrating having to scroll through 30+ porn bots every time you go to check the notes.)
-Remember that your description doesn’t have to be perfect or super detailed, and that any description you add is better than none.
-Also, like with anything, it’s something you get better at the more you do, and you’ll find your own way of way of doing it.
Formatting Tips
-The square brackets used in most image descriptions are there to distinguish the ID from the rest of any post.
-Put [start image description/end image description] so that people using screen readers know when the description ends and where any commentary begins.
-It should be before any other commentary, and shouldn’t be under a read-more.
