#i lived through that era

[queenimmadolla]

i’m seeing that old tutorial on how to track anonymous messages (hate mostly) going around, and i just want to point out that that is absolutely no longer possible. that is from like 2015/2016 tumblr, when the website was formatted and coded completely differently. it’s why those screenshots look nothing like current anon messages. now, you have to interact (click on) the three dots on an anonymous message to have the block option pop up and it’s only a selectable feature. you CAN NOT highlight it and do all that other stuff. in fact, you can highlight everything EXCEPT those features and they made these changes because people were using this hack/glitch to further harass others rather than keep track of hate.

please just don’t interact with hate at all, do not give them the energy. just block the anon hate. you will have so much more peace of mind instead of trying to keep all eyes and ears on certain people you suspect.

#just a little PSA #i lived through that era #it was horrid and i’d rather it not come back or people think they can bring it back

On this day, March 13

In 2023: My Chemical Romance performed their 63rd show of the 2022-2023 Swarm tour in Meeanjin (Brisbane), Australia. At this show, an unreleased song (titled "Eagles" on the paper setlist) was performed for the 7th time ever, with new lyrics. Gerard Way wore a dark grey skirt suit and white shirt, and "Everything Under Control" was written on the drums. (🖤)

Watch the show here!

some of y'all seem to be unaware of exactly what constitutes a tumblr sexyman so please allow someone who has been around since before Nightvale aired attempt to clarify:

a tumblr sexyman is not sexy* by default/in canon. a tumblr sexyman is only sexy because they have been so delightfully misrepresented by fandom that they have come to be portrayed as sexy with no direct canon support.

(*"sexy" here meaning "conventionally attractive and/or cool." The population of this site has very wide and varied ideas about what sexy actually is. this is why we have tumblr sexymen.)

If in the source material they:

are a bit of a wet cat, a bit of a derp

if they do things like put their green-screened facecam on a bit of lime glass in the hotbar

or mute so they can panic without other people hearing and say things like "...ah ha. so." about twelve times per episode

or open their episodes with an "awwwwww yeeeaaaah" and a giggle because even they can't believe they're that derpy

or ramble on and on about tomatoes and their adorable two-year-old while being just the chillest Guy Ever

or literally call themselves a spoon on a regular basis -- fully justified in doing so

and yet all the fanart of them is "cool eldritch being in neon shades" or "mysterious ninja who can outsmart you every time," or "deep sea monster creature with godlike powers" or "scary and hot shirtless monster cyborg man" or "suave possible vampire" --

that is a character that has been sexymanified.

#mcytblr sexyman #for legal reasons i must state: i'm not actually being serious about this #like. i mean. i AM. #but not in an argue-with-people way #more in a 'you clearly did not live through the WTNV and Bill Cipher eras of tumblr if you think actual sexyman [name redacted] #is a TUMBLR sexyman' #these are different categories and it's important to get it right. to me. #all of this is /lh #and may the biggest and most misrepresented derp win #aka VOTE ETHO

Do you have a family tree for DOTC and the ancient tribes around the lake with Hollyleaf/Fallenleaf?

I don't yet. When I finish up my re-read, I'm going to gather ALL of the DOTC cats and start dividing them up into the three cultural groups. After getting them all in bundles, I'm going to whip them up into proper family trees.

If you're asking about canon's family tree... I can make it if you'd like, but I'd just be showing you the ticking timebomb of genetic diversity they set up for themselves. It's all Quiet Rainkin and random forest cats, most introduced after book 3. None of the other settlers had grandchildren and the living children have no mates.

Sun Shadow died.

Lightning Tail died and Acorn Fur was forced into a vow of chastity

None of Turtle Tail's kits have kits; one is in a vow of chastity

There's nothing to "preserve" about the canon tree, unfortunately. It's not really a "tree," it's more like a couple of bubbles with a ton of dead women floating around outside.

For funsies, let me try and remember all the "bubbles" off the top of my head, plus when the characters were introduced

Ravenstar x Juniper Branch (Book 6)

Milkweed x Leaf (Book 5, Book 2, plus existing kits with an unknown mate)

Misty (Book 2; kits have no kits.)

Shadowkin: Tall, Moon, Sun (1, 1, 5, extinct)

Jackdaw's Cry x Hawk Swoop (extinct)

Turtle Tail x Tom the Wifebeater (endangered)

Riverstar x Finch Song (Book 1, super edition)

Wind Runner x Gorse Fur (Moth Flight and Dust Muzzle are born in book 3)

Willow Tail (introduced with a sibling in book 4; extinct)

Shaded Moss was the father of Rainswept Flower (extinct)

Fox and Petal were siblings (Petal raised Misty's children)

I forgot the name of Drizzle's mom and sibling (book 6)

I think there's also a cat called Apple Bottom Jeans or something in Thunderstar's Echo who has a litter, but I can't remember her mate without google. There were also some litters born in Riverstar's Home I can't remember. I barely remember the side books, were there any others born in Shadowstar's Life...?

Here's all the pairings in the Quiet Rainkin family, as contrast;

Quiet Rain x Unknown (4 kits)

Clear Sky x Bright Stream (Died pregnant; gave birth to 2 dead angel fetus children in heaven)

Clear Sky x Storm (Thunder was the only survivor of 3)

Clear Sky x Star Flower (two litters; the first was 3 iirc, the second unknown)

Jagged Peak x Holly (3 kits)

Gray Wing x Slate (3 kits iirc)

Thunder x Violet Dawn (4 kits)

So... bottom line is, something like 50% of births were coming out of the Quiet Rainkin family, and they account for something like 30% of cats with existing family at all.

Personally, I think that's awful in a prequel arc that's supposed to be about ancestors. So I'm going to be making whole families for BB.

#bone babble #Re: this is all from memory #Did I miss any? #Also this is a large reason i think theyre just bad at handling family trees. #It was a completely clean slate and they are still barelling towards a pretzel in a couple generations #Unless they continue to summon fresh bodies from the bushes #MY excuse is that I don't work with OCs and have to handle the small population sizes. #I work with limits theyve set and even I can still think more carefully about family trees #They do not care at all about them or consider them outside of superficial references #And I dislike that. The whole draw of the series imo is following them through their lives and subsequent generations #But hey. My kitchen my spices. #If BB ever had its serial numbers sanded off I'd keep the BB!DOTC families into the modern era too lmaoo #But that's neither here nor there

truly i am genuinely surprised lance parkin hasn't published a story wherein the doctor and river have thirteen kids. like he's slacking a little bit there. i mean, it's not like he has the shame and self-awareness to not do it three times since he's already done that exact same plot with both patience and bernice

#does he think it's clever or something?? like ohh hehe its because time lord have 13 lives which means they have 13 kids too. just a clever #little easter egg im including :) just don't ask how benny had all those kids in 10 years please please pl #i cant standd this fucking guyyyyyyy i uffuckign hate him and his breeding kink so mfucking MUCH #im not shaming any kink unless it's lance who should at the soonest opportunity pledge celibacy and move into a monastery #and his silence will ring through the trees like bells and bird song heralding a new better era where he doesnt work on doctor who anymore #doctor who #dweu

People who are like “Omg gen z theatre kids only know *proceeds to list every single musical that came out after 1999*” are the most annoying assholes like hey maybe we just don’t like shit from the 1960’s or we have specific tastes have you ever considered that

In my story, James likes calling Regulus by his full name (either Regulus Black or Regulus Arcturus Black) because *I* like using his full name and *I* think everyone should use it more.

@wolfstarmicrofic May 5 - prompt 5: Awful First Meeting [word count 676]

Remus was having a bad morning. He already didn’t like early shifts, but that morning he had overslept, had ran all the way to the café because there had been no buses in sight, had grabbed the first apron he had found and had dived head first right in the middle of three whole field trip classes of teenagers and their caffeine-starved teachers. Then he had barely had the time to wipe the counter and register how hot the guy who had just pushed the café door open was, with his leather jacket with a pride pin on it and his bike helmet under his arm when then man had made a beeline for him, taken one look at his apron and had started shouting at him.

“My friend can very well defend herself, but I’m here to make sure you will never dare to creep on her or any other girl who comes here!” the stranger waved a finger in Remus’s face. “And you’re on the clock, what are you doing, using your paid time to creep up on girls?!”

Remus opened his mouth to say he was very, very gay and in any case he wouldn’t dream of being a creep to anyone, but the stranger was on a roll.

“When someone says no, it’s no, it’s a full sentence! There’s no ‘why’ or ‘but’ or whatever! If she ever comes back here I want you to stay away from her! Don’t talk to her, don’t look at her, don’t even breathe in her direction! Actually, you’d better not talk to any girl or woman who comes in here, am I making myself clear, Severus?!”

Remus blinked, staring at the hot guy who was now catching his breath, then he looked down at the badge pinned on his apron and groaned seeing it said Severus - Happy to help, which was quite hilarious since Severus had never been happy to help in his four months at the café.

“Well?” the stranger glared at him.

Remus removed the pin from his apron and tossed it in a nearby bin with a grimace.

“Sorry,” he said then. “I’m not him. He used to work here, but he got fired just yesterday and I must’ve gotten his apron by mistake coming in this morning.”

The guy frowned.

“How do I know you’re not lying to save your ass?” he asked.

Remus knew he didn’t have to prove anything, but even glaring and shouting the stranger was so insanely hot he would’ve kicked himself if he let him think he was a creep. So he reached in his back pocket and handed him his battered wallet, the pride pin on it well on display.

“My ID’s in it.”

The stranger shot him a puzzled look and had a look inside, his expression immediately turning from anger to horror.

“Shit, I’m so sorry!” he handed back the wallet. “I looked at your name tag and thought it was you, I’m really sorry!”

“Don’t be, I was wearing the wrong name tag after all,” Remus smiled. “And you defending your friend was quite endearing. You can tell her Severus was kicked out when the manager caught him being a creep to his sister.”

“Good,” the stranger nodded. “So your name’s Remus then?”

Remus nodded, the guy smiled and he somehow became even hotter just like that.

“I’m Sirius,” he said. “When do you get off work, Remus? I’d like to buy you a drink as a proper apology.”

“Only as an apology?” Remus smiled.

“Well, not only that,” Sirius grinned. “When I saw the name tag my first thought was why are the hot ones always arseholes.”

“I’m off in an hour,” Remus laughed. “And I promise I’m not an arsehole.”

“I’ll wait right outside for you then. I have a spare helmet,” Sirius smiled. “And I can be an arsehole, but only when you’re mean to my friends.”

Remus kept smiling as Sirius walked out and he gathered empty mugs to clean. Maybe that morning wasn’t so bad after all.

#look at me writing my first coffee shop au here #also yes I do hate Snape thank you for noticing #also also Lily doesn't need anyone to defend her let's be clear #Sirius just felt he needed to add on the crap she put the creep through as well #and the pride pin placement is based on my own #wolfstar #wolfstar microfic #remus lupin #sirius black #remus x sirius #sirius x remus #marauders #marauders era #modern marauders #coffee shop au #the marauders #the marauders era #just writing (like i'm supposed to live)
