OFFICIAL PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT

(for once this blog is being used for more than just sh*tposting)

It has come to our attention that there has been an increased number of what we call "Fallers" coming to our world. For those unaware, Fallers are people who went to a different universe by accident. Most experience some form of memory loss which can make the job of finding Fallers much more difficult.

Now this would not be an issue on its own as we here at the Aether Foundation had begun work on potential tech to send the fallers back to their homeworlds, and to bring back any who might've left from ours. But with an increase of Fallers also comes an increase of Ultra Beast, for your convinence and safety you can find a list of all currently discovered Ultra Beasts here.

For the safety of the general public, we are temporarily starting the "Aether without Borders" Project, or AWB. Because of the fact that these Fallers and Ultra Beasts have become less condensed to merely just the Alola Region, we are working with officials from other regions to temporarily set up bases of operations for this project.

In terms of what a normal citizen can do to stay safe here is a list of recommended courses of action:

Keep aware of where you are going at all times

Make sure at least one other person knows where you're headed at all times

Alert any sort of officials immediately if you suspect a friend or loved one has gone missing

Do not and I mean DO NOT try and fight any Ultra Beasts head on. Find the closest AWB station and alert them about the Ultra Beast, as they have been trained by our best to handle UBs with and without combat

Help out anyone who you may suspect to be a Faller, before rerouting them to a safe station, Fallers attract UBs due to the lingering Ultra Wormhole energy so these safe stations will be places where they can easily be protected from them.

With all of that said, stay safe until we can locate and stabilize the cause of increased Ultra activity.

- The Aether Foundation in collaboration with the International Police

OOC info for this!

This is not a proper event, and more of a roleplay prompt than anything. It's generally a mid stakes thing atm but that is a suggestion since you can tweak it to your desires! Do not feel like you need to do anything with this and are some sort of faller blog! This is just a funny thing I decided to write up and thought it would fit nicely on the blog.

The Aether Foundation will make updates on the situation ever so often but it's not something that can be solved in a weekend which is why I said this isn't a proper event.

If you do however want to do anything with the idea I recommend using the tags of either "ultra increase" and/or "Aether without Borders" depending on which aspect you want to use more.

So, I saw that you had a Norse Pagan side-blog, and I was actually curious about how you worshipped your deities? Like, do you have one altar or do you use multiple?

Also, would you have any advice for people who worship/work with deities who seem different? (For context, I worship Odin, Fenrir, Hermes, Apollo, and Dionysus) Is there a way you’ve found to make sure you’re honoring all deities?

- 🎲

Hey, 🎲! Thank you for the interesting ask! I don't think anyone has actually asked me this before lol.

First and foremost, I consider myself an Omnist, meaning that I believe there is some truth to most religions, and I personally believe that most deities do exist, in their own right. I do tend to focus largely on the Hellenic pantheon, but I like to honor gods from several pantheons every now and again, be it through altar spaces or just by saying a grateful comment aloud. I feel this is an important clarification as it may explain my more open approach to worshipping multiple pantheons.

I do worship multiple pantheons but have been less involved with the Norse than I used to be. In the past, when I was more actively worshipping deities from both pantheons (now I feel that I mostly honor Norse deities; for me, honoring a deity is like a step below worship but still revering them, if that makes sense), I would specifically keep altars from separate pantheons at a distance from each other as a way to respect that they stem from separate cultures and backgrounds. I have the luxury of being able to keep separate altars for all of my deities, not just ones from different pantheons, so usually, I would keep Loki and Sigyn's shared altar in a different location than the other Hellenic altars, as an example. Personally, I believe that if you're unable to separate them due to your living circumstances, the gods - from any pantheon - will likely understand and not be upset about it. Sometimes we just can't find a way to keep them separated or individual, and that's honestly ok. Hell, they were syncretized all the time in the past, so they honestly have probably shared altars with other pantheons before, if I had to guess.

-

When it comes to worshipping/working with deities who seem different, I suppose it depends on what you mean by "seem different". Is it that they're from different pantheons and cultural backgrounds, or do you mean a stark contrast in their personalities?

If you mean the first question, I would say the best thing you can do is research the deities you're worshipping in a historical context first then try and see how modern worshippers might go about honoring them. I would especially do this with the Norse deities because it tends to be difficult to find information on some of them, unfortunately. The Hellenic deities are much easier to find information on, especially when it comes to historical worship. If you don't want to get too in-depth or it's difficult for you to find good resources or whatever your reason may be, I suggest starting with the basic myths of the deities you're involved with then just doing some very basic research on the ancient cultures these deities came from. What were some strong values of the Norse people? What were some strong values of the Greek people? How did the Norse view XYZ issue? How did the Greeks view XYZ issue? That sort of thing. It will help you IMMENSELY in understanding the mythology of these deities as well as their roots. The biggest thing that you need to understand and acknowledge is that these deities come from very different cultures, and with that, their pantheons may view certain things differently from each other. Take the knowledge that you obtain, and apply it to your worship however you see fit; mostly, I would use this knowledge to strengthen your understanding of the gods and their cultures, especially the differences between their cultures.

For an example of how the Norse and Hellenic cultures differed, within the Norse pantheon, oaths are an extremely sacred thing. Being an oath-breaker is genuinely one of the worst possible things you could ever be - or at least, that's how the Norse people viewed the issue. Within the Hellenic pantheon, the closest comparison would be when the Hellenic gods, in myths, would "swear on the River Styx". If they broke a promise after doing so, it would come with massive consequences for them, however, within the Hellenic culture, there wasn't much emphasis on being a "promise-breaker". Swearing on the Styx was a sacred thing to do, yes, but in general, it wasn't held to the same standard as the Norse. There may be similarities between the two cultures, but they are still different, and what this information alone tells you is that the Norse gods will most likely take an oath VERY seriously, whereas the Hellenic gods might prefer more of a promise ("swearing on the Styx" was mostly used in the context of promising to do or give something for or to someone) of something than an explicit oath.

-

If you mean the second question, you would treat them as you would treat anyone you value in your life that have very different personalities: with respect and care. Dionysus may be extremely different from Fenrir, but that doesn't mean you have to become a completely different person with Fenrir than you are with Dionysus. You will have different relationships with them, sure, but above all, you should always feel comfortable being yourself with any deity. If you don't, then there's something wrong with that relationship, in some way. How you treat your deities and how you choose to interact with them is ultimately up to you; I can't - and won't - tell you what is and isn't right for you. I will say that I tend to be very casual with my deities, so oftentimes, I am the most comfortable when I am just myself with them. Some people prefer to be very formal, even getting dressed nicely in order to communicate with them, but honestly, that's not a style of worship I personally enjoy. Do whatever works best for you; there is no right or wrong answer.

-

I hope that this answers your questions well! If you need clarification on anything or have more questions, please feel free to send another ask. I'm happy to help however I can. Take care, and have a good night/day! 🧡☺️

Very Vague Analysis of "Javert t'es amoureux" interpreted by Jean Vallée

I wrote a shitpost about it some days ago and @aftershocked 's comment made me want to develop on it, about why the lyrics are supposed to convey a metatextual message about the actor playing Javert (here, Jean Vallée). + Thoughts on why I think it's incredibly funny that they chose to make Javert a hopeless romantic and we all went 'ah! he is gay!' (as we should). I apologize if I'm just stating the obvious btw I'm not the smartest person in the room. Also, I read this before and I thought it was a good translation and I will use some of their previous interpretation, so credits to: https://www.kellycatalfamo.com/blog/2017/9/3/javert-tes-amoureux (thank you again, aftershocked, because i never saw this post before you mentioned it!).

1 — Javert is Jean Vallée.

No kidding, Jean Vallée is the first one to interpret Javert in Boublil's and Schönberg's musical in 1980. But then it does make sense for Vallée to write a song about himself as Javert, as he is transcended by his love for the character and the role (we'll get back to that).

There is definitely a play with the use of "Je" and "Tu". Who is je in this song? It's not obvious from the start. The first line might suggest the speaker is Javert directly ("Moi, le lecteur invétéré du Code Civil et du Code Pénal") yet this Je is accusing Javert, the Tu, in the chorus, which leave a doubt of the identity of this speaker. (You could definitely argue that it would not be out-of-character for Javert to talk to himself, on the contrary. Lol.)

Moreover, kellycatalfamo mentions that Javert actively reading is ooc, and this is also an element that makes me think that Vallée is mainly the one talking in the song, making the character he's supposed to play doing things he would not do otherwise : "What I took from this is that Vallée is not simply describing Javert reading the advice column in bed -- a VERY non-Javert-like activity -- but describing Javert suddenly realizing this uncharacteristic thing he's doing ... and continuing to do it".

According to me, Jean Vallée is trying to be Javert, to incarnate Javert, but he fails, and loses his balance and skills as he tries to act like the character again (reading the Code Civil, keeping his cool, seeing the world only in black and white, etc.).

2 — Vallée is trying to get back into his role.

So, in kellycatalfamo's translation, the original french lyrics is "redeviens moins si vieux" in the second chorus, but I'm sure it's a mistake and the lyric is actually "redeviens moins sérieux" (= "become less serious again"). Vallée castigates himself because he slipped out of his role, talking to both himself and the Javert he tries to make out of himself (use of the imperative).

"C'est impossible, venez à mon secours et rendez-moi inaccessible" = There is an urgent need to get back into his role, for Vallée, and suddenly, he is not Javert anymore and asks help to the other actors around him. He wants to be unattainable, in the sense Javert is (as a fictional character existing only on paper) but also from his own feelings, attacking him from the outside, the real world (the théâtre being traditionally a closed space, existing on its own and according to its own rules and codes).

"Ce roman policier, cette série noire, qui t'a incarcéré le cœur" = The roman policier in France was mostly invented by Balzac, huge inspiration for Romantics like Hugo, so perhaps it isn't as much of a reach to assume that, here, Vallée is referencing to the novel Les Misérables and the effects it had on his "heart". If we're seeing it like that, then he means that he is submerged, overwhelmed, by his own love for the original material—Javert is thus in love by proxy, through his interpret's own adoration for the text.

"Je veux rentrer dans mon théâtre, continuer d'être misérable par contrat et par devoir" = oooh again, Jean-Pierre Virgil is so smart! At this point, Javert completely disappear behind his interpret. The theater, locus where he, Javert, exists on his own; locus where Vallée, amorous, desperately wants to come back. Moreover, the double sense of this line: Javert continues to be miserable because of his characteristic sense of duty and justice, contracted he is to the law like a dog to its master; but it could also be about Vallée's contract with Hossein, Boublil, Schönberg, as a profesional actor, and the sense of artistic duty he feels to do Javert's character right on the scene. (Again, where does Vallée start, where does Javert finish...)

"Je crois qu'on est hier alors qu'on est déjà ce soir" = The most strange lyric to me so far. I picture Vallée standing on the théâtre's scene, taken aback because he thought he still had time to revise his lines, but he doesn't, because he's already performing and he has to get back in the role. I think this line shows how he is losing his self within the text, whether or not it's the novel or the script, and his love for the role.

"Pardonnez monsieur Victor, si je sors du bouquin, je n'en peux plus, mon amour est trop fort" = Finally, the most obvious lol, I should've start there I'm sorry. It's written on the thin here. Vallée is completely out of his role and expresses his love for the original material to the author—and yet! It could also be Javert himself, coming out the book. In french, "sortir de" can also mean "to slip out of something", metaphorically speaking.

3 — Javert in the Brick.

Finally, to some extent, I think it is also a song about Javert Déraillé. My guess is that Jean-Pierre Virgil and Jean Vallée wanted to make Javert sympathetic to the public, give him some romantic sensibility, and since the musical's motif is a lot centered around love, it makes sense. Although, I don't think they realize the way they portrayed Javert as a homosexual, because, if not Jean Valjean, who else Javert might be in love with LOL. My favorite lyrics that might imply Valvert are "Toi qui ne voulais regarder la télé pas autrement qu'en noir ou blanc, voilà que tu trouves qu'il manque de couleurs" > to me, this is an obvious reference to how Jean Valjean completely destroys Javert's vision of the world. Also, a reference to the french lyrics in Javert's Soliloquy: "noir ou blanc, hors-la-loi ou dedans; noir ou blanc, c'est Javert ou Valjean".

Anyways, I love how Vallée insults Javert in the song, as if aware that being in love is uncharacteristic of him, yet is happening ("pauvre vieux con de flic" and "bravo le clown" never fail to make me laugh. I always call Javert a clown because of this song lol).

Hm. I am enthusiastically open to discussion and I apologize if I wrote a way too long post about something everyone in the fandom already knew about. I just love this song so much.

Honestly, best part about watching HotD was that it gave me a free blocklist to weed out any jonsas (because ridiculous number of the green stans seem to be jonsas!) I might've missed the first time around with GoT. But what's absolutely baffling is how many claim to be feminists. I'll go to their blog to block them and their bio will be something like "She/her, feminist" and it's just like... what kind of mental acrobatics do you have to be doing to believe that??

Let's see, shall we? Just off the top of my head, jonsas (and fairly often Sansa's more... "special" stans) like to

Put down Dany and Arya for not being "feminine enough" (i.e. their ideal femininity, which ig means women can't be anything else). As if expecting women to conform to a standard of what's "feminine enough" isn't part of the problem :/

Constantly claim Sansa can't be held accountable for her mistakes because she's a child, but then regularly claim another child is unforgivable for her mistakes and should die for it

Imply (and sometimes even say) that Dany shouldn't be breaking the wheel. You mean the patriarchy? You, an alleged feminist, don't think the patriarchal system ASoIaF has is awful and dumb??

Suggest that Jon is actually going to politically manipulate Dany by pretending to love her but really he's doing it for Sansa. That is... disgusting on more levels than I could count, but I'll simplify it to "wanting to see an ending where a woman is manipulated sexually and then murdered by her male lover when she's no longer useful is gross and you should feel gross" because apparently they can't read at more than a 2nd grade level

Ignore the fact that this already-misogynistic plotline would be, in their dreams, so the man can get together with their favorite woman instead. Because putting down a woman like a dog in favor of another woman isn't bad, apparently

Absolutely hate the fact that Dany is a subversion of the prophecied hero trope because she's the "Princess who was promised". This would be a wonderful twist on the trope instead of the sexist "but actually it was the man all along!" one, which has been done to death already

Crack jokes about Dany being infertile and how that would "make Sansa a better wife for Jon, bc she can give him an heir". Ah yes, implying it's a woman's duty and purpose to have kids and that anyone who can't is broken. Wonderful example of feminist rhetoric, you guys

And this very much extends to the green stans too! Little wonder so many stansas seem to love Alicent, since they're both "women who have to suffer through the patriarchy". Let's see what our precious, definitely-feminist Alicent has done, shall we?

The big one: actively trying to prevent a woman from rising to the Throne so she can be replaced by her son, a man

The son, I should add, being utterly unfit to rule and she knows it (unless she's absolutely fucking stupid, there's no way she could not know Aegon would be a bad king). I mean, he assaulted serving staff, disappears to the slums to watch his bastards fight to the death, and when he was supposed to be king he fled. Rulership material indeed :/ But Alicent seems to think a penis makes him suited to rule despite all that

Straight-up admits that Viserys was less suited to rule than Rhaenys on account of temperament... but then in the next breath ask Rhaenys to help her uphold the male succession that fucked her over, in favor of a man even less suitable for kingship than Viserys was

And on the note of the serving girl... silencing rape victims is not feminist. At all. I recognize HotD's societal standards are different, but idk, they sure like to apply modern standards like war crimes to Dany and Rhaenyra so I think I'll do the same here

Resents Rhaenyra for finding happiness in her own relationships. Look, what happened to her was awful and I felt bad for her, but once she turned around and started putting other women down for not suffering like she did, instead of trying to see the system that caused her suffering ended... that's where she went wrong. (Also I feel like reminding everyone Laenor was gay. Did greens want Nyra to maritally rape her husband?? How dare a woman have an enjoyable sex life)

Book Alicent legitimately hoped that "mayhaps the whore will die in childbirth" because that's absolutely a feminist girlboss thing to say

Look, I have no problem with people liking or even defending either character for some of their actions. Even I'd admit the Greens are fun to watch despite being in the wrong, and that Sansa's bullying means her arc has potential for character growth towards realizing her ideal femininity is wrong. But when their stans start attacking other women for not accepting and conforming to the system? That's why I usually see urls/lots of posts about these characters as a red flag

If you're one of these people and I somehow haven't already blocked you? Please go outside and work on the internalized misogyny a bit before you claim to be feminist

Is there a dmbj fandom space of sort that's... Not focused on Liu Chang characters? Or to put a positive angle on it, I'd love to talk about dmbj canon and its characters and their on page/screen interactions or how the books and sites compare but I'm not really sure where to do that? Do you have a discord or tumblr tag or blog suggestions? (Or if that doesn't exist, this is a marker of interest if you make one. I think there's actually if nothing else a lot of people in this fandom who are interested in pingxie who don't know where to go to talk to each other because it seems like most of the fandom spaces apart from the yucun discord are pretty dead)

hi anon! i’m both glad and sad you asked because i get that feeling and i’m sorry to say there’s… not really much of a good answer i can give you 🫠 though i can offer the start of one at least

a lot of the problem is the people you’re talking about, for reasons i don’t fully understand myself, have come to take up most of the visibility in the public fandom spaces to almost the exclusion of anyone and everything else. this is definitely a hot and likely unpopular take, but it’s gotten to the point where ironically (as far as the english speaking fandom goes at least, the chinese fandom is very different) in some respects, pingxie has become something of a “rarer” pair these days by comparison to ships involving more minor characters, particularly ones involving the characters you mentioned, and i find wu xie and xiaoge themselves are less talked about outside of the context of those ships than the characters you mentioned as a whole. and this isn’t a post meant to dunk on those particular interests, just my opinion on what the dmbj fandom is like at this point in time. the issue is, like you said, it leaves the people who aren't interested in that lost and with no one to talk to despite i'm sure there being a lot of us that would love a place to actively engage with each other

as far as places to talk about pingxie and the dmbj canon in general outside of that, in my experience tumblr doesn’t have all that much to offer apart from a few isolated people unfortunately. just checking the main tags tells you as much, but there are a few people. but i also know tumblr isn’t necessarily the best space for genuine conversations as i get the feeling that’s more what you’re looking for (correct me if i’m wrong). there’s a bit more going on on twitter, but it’s also fairly marginal and it also depends on what it is you want to talk about (and also, it’s twitter).

for discord servers, i can suggest 3 options, two of which i’m sure you’ve probably heard of:

the “dmbj (盗墓笔记)” server (https://discord.gg/xjTSVdUP), which was the original server created before the yucun one was and is technically the largest one (the yucun discord server actually broke off from it in part to be a space more dedicated to liu sang and liu chang characters and eventually became the fandom’s most active hub). fair warning, it’s pretty dead in the sense most of the minimal talk that goes on there isn’t really about dmbj at all, and is more generally drama-oriented. it’s also not strictly dedicated to pingxie

the “dmbj book-centric fun times” server (https://discord.com/invite/z7ZNNEbv3P), which as its name suggests, is book-oriented rather than drama-oriented. it’s also pretty dead apart from one or two sporadic posts from time to time, which i see as partly the consequence of a good chunk of the dmbj fandom either not having read the books or not particularly caring about them by comparison to other things. that being said, if enough people went there, i’m sure it could be more active. this one is also not strictly dedicated to pingxie

the “盗墓笔记 - changbai mountain” server, which is going to be my biased suggestion as it’s a tiny server started somewhat recently by myself and a couple of other friends who felt the same and wanted to try and create a safe space to talk about pingxie (and other ships if relevant, though by this i mostly mean heihua for now) and the dmbj canon and its characters as a whole. it’s very small atm and as active as it can be given that, and while it’s open to anyone interested, because of previous experiences with some people in the fandom, i would need you to get off anon and dm me if you (or anyone else reading this) is interested (as long as you’re comfortable with that ofc) as i don’t necessarily feel comfortable posting a public invite. for the record, anyone interested is very welcome to dm, we really do need more alternative fandom spaces

i’m sorry i can’t help more anon, but i hope this is something of an ok answer even if it’s not the best one

Take a step back for a sec

Is syscourse something you're enjoying currently or are you self harming in a way by going into the tags knowing it will stress you out?

??? Dude

That's fucked up, and I hope you know that

Imagine walking into a stranger's inbox and suggesting to them that they are self harming. Anon, I get you're trying to look after people's health, and that's admirable -- but genuinely, that's not your job, and making it your problem is not only unhealthy for you, it's also uncomfortable for me. And if this is because I told people they're allowed to be angry, then it feels like you're conflating anger with self harm, which is exactly the problem I was talking about.

UwU🌸 But what do I know I'm just a syscourse obsessed sysmed.

A personal rant/vent under the cut

I don't handle stress well by being quiet about my feelings, I like to be loud and obvious and an open book about my thoughts. I made it to where I am today (I have never said how many followers I have, and I never will, but... guys... yes, hi, i love you all, and I consider myself to be very successful in my career and life) by just being me and yelling about things on MY blog.

This is how I've become healthier

I stopped caring so much about what everyone thinks and put myself first. What makes me happy? What is healthiest for me?

Spoiler: burying my emotions, not engaging in something I love, and giving up a productive outlet for my wildly fluctuating up and down emotions is not the answer

This was my first step to overcoming shame, and when this kind of talk started in SN, it ruined it for a LOT of people, both members and mods

What had been a mature, self moderated, active, vocal, and welcoming community suddenly turned on each other in an attempt to not be the "crazy one" that cared too much or got too involved, because suddenly everyone was afraid of being accused of self harming through something they genuinely enjoyed

I fall apart when I feel like I can't talk about things for fear of judgement, and I know I'm not the only one

Leaving SN and coming back to syscourse full force has made me happier than I've been in over a year. I'm sleeping better, I'm less anxious, I'm not scared to open tumblr or discord anymore, I can spend time with my partners without worrying about what's happening

I feel in control of my life and the things happening in my social vicinity, and it's left me more brain power to focus on my personal things-- work, family, etc

I'm back to laughing with people who understood what I was feeling, and joking about the things that stress me out, rather than trying to bury it all

I know this is going to shock you, but it's okay for something to be stressful and enjoyable at the same time

Video games, horror movies, puzzles, roller coasters-- all of these heighten stress levels in enjoyable, positive, healthy ways

Can it become maladaptive? Absolutely, but it's not your job to be going to strangers and asking this

Especially something as serious as self harm

Like, you're not just asking, "do you think maybe you'd benefit from a quick break before you post?"

You're full on overstepping personal boundaries when you put people in this position

There is literally zero reason to ask this question, in that way, with those words, unless you're projecting

Spin on it, friendo 👍

Warframe Story, Introduction

About a half a year ago I found this most useful post on r/Warframe: https://old.reddit.com/r/Warframe/comments/w14e47/warframe_story_campaign_guide_for_beginners_and/ Unfortunately after the Reddit blackout this post is not available anymore, so I decided to copy all the info (praise Unum it was saved in web.archive) and make some additions for players, who (like me) have already done some non-replayable quests. Quest names are highlighted in bold, my commentaries are marked with TW and highlighted in italic. Screenshots are also mine, from my early Warframe days.

Also I strongly advise you (if you are doing replays) to open your settings menu - social - creator mode. This mode hides some minor spoilers, unfortunately it can’t return some zones to their previous state.

Please note if you are replaying quests, sometimes initial and final quest messages aren’t send to your mail, so I suggest you look for them in warframe wiki quest transcripts.

--- (original post starts here)

With Veilbreaker and Duviri on the way I thought it would be good to give the new players (and old ones that missed the stuff) a guide for story campaign. This guide focuses on making a cohesive story to go through on your way to The New War, as after that it’s much more cohesive by itself.

This isn't a story guide on the history of events but trying to make sense of what's in the game at with the state it's in as much as possible. There are some bad omissions in game atm, most of which concern Alad V and other events, and since other early game stuff was mostly in events, a lot of context and motivation is missing early game, which is another big hurdle for the beginner experience.

I will supplement missing info with videos or other stuff to make it more or less understandable. Some of these are made by me to supplement some other stuff. Huge thanks to Orokin Archives and people that recorded the intros for events in the videos.

DISCLAIMER: This guide is focusing primarily on story and not about getting loot. In fact, some of the guide pretty much is against getting some loot till the time needed (biggest notable thing is Deadlock Protocol being delayed a lot). The idea is to create a sense of progression and logic in the story. Feel free to do side objectives and farming at your leisure.

Several activities should be done only after “unlocking” it with the perquisite quest (Infested invasions, Nightmare missions, Grineer vs Corpus invasions, Void Fissure missions, Vey Hek assassinate, The Index).

Quests that are not affected by this list: Howl of the Kubrow (but recommended to do after Phobos once you can go to the Void), A Man of Few Words (just do it when you unlock Uranus), Hidden Messages, The Limbo Theorem, Sands of Inaros, The Silver Grove and Octavia's Anthem (but imo both should be done directly after the Second Dream), Mask of the Revenant, The Waverider (can be done after Heart of Deimos to make sense), The Jordas Precept (pretty much should be done about the time you unlock Eris).

SHIPPING INFO : ANSWER THE FOLLOWING FOR YOUR MUSE(S) SO PEOPLE KNOW HOW SHIPPING WORKS ON YOUR BLOG.

WHAT IS YOUR OTP FOR YOUR CHARACTER(S)? 

Honestly I have SO MANY muses and as a result I have so many OTP's that go along with that, both canon, crossover, crack and OC OTP's

HOW LARGE DOES THE AGE GAP HAVE TO BE TO MAKE IT UNCOMFORTABLE? 

This is gonna sound weird, but it depends on the species of the muses. If it's two human muses I probably wouldn't want to go maybe more than 20 years? And that's assuming the youngest muse is at least 21. The exception in regards to species is vampires and fae, any species with longevity spanning centuries and beyond. some of the age gaps with those muses can get excessive, but I would still say that physically in appearance they'd have to be within the around 20 years (if that makes sense). Of course ALL if this is with the assumption that all muses are over the age of 18. We ain't out here imprinting on babies. I'm side-eyeing Twilight hard at this one.

HOW FAR DO STEAMY MOMENTS HAVE TO GO BEFORE THEY ARE CONSIDERED NSFW?  

Uhm, likely clothes are coming off and touching is starting to happen.

ARE YOU SELECTIVE WHEN SHIPPING?  

Somewhat! I love the build up in a ship. And when it comes to my male muses, if you completely ignore my girls, I won't ship my male muses. I have seen it far to many times where people completely ignore someone's female muses and solely write with the male muses while constantly hinting at shippy things in the thread. It gets demotivating, so please don't ignore my female muses who would love even platonic interactions, or enemy interactions in favour or trying to force ships with my guys.

WHO ARE OTHER CHARACTERS YOU SHIP YOUR CHARACTER WITH? 

I will legit ship anything. I do have a spreadsheet (yes I'm that extra) with all my muses, their sexualities, their preferences and potential canon ships, who I won't ship them with and if shipping with them is open. You can find that here.

DOES ONE HAVE TO ASK TO SHIP WITH YOU?  

Generally as a rule of thumb, yeah, please talk to me about it. I'm very conscious in myself about trying to not force ships on people / making them feel like the have to ship with my muses. So I likely won't realise you want to ship otherwise; and honestly it will give me a chance to suggest more of a build up to a ship if I don't quite feel it yet myself.

ARE YOU SHIP OBSESSED OR SHIP MORE-OR-LESS? 

I would love more ships, but I don't actively go out my way unless it's plotted with someone? Like if it happens, it happens?

ARE YOU MULTISHIP? 

We live for the multi's in this house - multifandom, multiverse, multimuse, multiship. I only have one muse, out of 249 that is a single ship and that's my Descendants OC Julia Darling and that's because she is completely and utterly besotted with @dreamingonthedaily's Paxton Pan

WHAT IS YOUR FAVOURITE SHIP IN YOUR CURRENT FANDOM?

Well my current hyperfixations are The Witcher and Fear Street. I have a few in each honestly. The Witcher: Geralt/Yen, Geralt/Jaskier, Ciri/Happiness Fear Street: Ziggy/Nick (sue me), Sam/Deena, Cindy/Alice, Cindy/Tommy, Simon/Kate, Kurt/Joan

FINALLY, HOW DOES ONE SHIP WITH YOU?

Talk to me? It's that simple honestly. I don't mind shippy meme's being sent my way if we don't have established ships as icebreakers, but I would prefer to go back and build them up once we see if they mesh. Even if it's solely in headcanons we talk about OOC. I have far to many ships that the bulk of them are headcanons.

Hey girl! Love your blog btw, I'm new to all things Tomdaya. Wanted to ask about finding balance. Lately I've been so addicted to the Internet and just want to spend hours searching things relating to Z instead of doing my own homework or work :( It's not good at all and Im struggling lool I was wondering how you manage your time (if you do) and if you have any tips. Thanks :)

Thanks Anon! 😊

Good question!

I know for me personally, I like to have a balance in my life. I made a conscious effort at the start of this year to try to stop procrastinating so much in my life, and tbh I feel like I'm doing pretty well! 😁👍🏾 I'm getting more done, and I'm a LOT less stressed because I'm not procrastinating as much.

I've done MUCH better than I was doing last year. I honestly didn't feel all that good being online and on social media that much. It was starting to consume my life and I didn't like the feeling. 😩 Plus, I wasn't getting some of the things done that I needed to get done in my personal life. 😔

That's when I knew that I needed to make a change.

The easiest way to get rid of a habit is to just STOP cold turkey. It's a lot easier said than done, and the first couple of weeks are really TOUGH, but once you get on a roll, you find that it's really easy to continue with it, and you actually stop craving whatever it was that you were addicted to.

Now days, I just give myself breaks from tumblr or social media every now and then. It's REALLY refreshing. 😊

I also actually have a very active life lol, so I can't be consumed with Tomdaya 24/7. 😂 Honestly, ever since July 2nd happened, I've been SO CHILL about their relationship.....I don't worry about them at all, because they look sooo happy, and there's nothing to worry about, nothing to prove anymore, and nothing to have to think about. Lol 😆

Tomdaya 2.0 is waaaay more FUN (imo), chill and relaxed than Tomdaya 1.0 ever was lol 😆 🤣 And I'm talking about the shipping side as well! Now days I just wait for whatever tea comes out, and even if I'm late with seeing it, I'm not worried at all. I just smile and love to see my two favorite people happy together while they're out and about spotted together ❤

Honestly y'all, I have not worried not one bit about Tomdaya since the cat got out of the bag with that kiss last year lol 😆 😂 😅

Maybe you can put a timer on your phone for certain apps and only allow yourself an alloted time per day to be on it?

I had to do that with my phone earlier this year when I was getting into better habits.

Now days I don't even get close to the timer ending anymore because I don't spend half as much time on here as I did in the past.

Now that school has started back up again for me today, I'm going to be on here even LESS in the weeks to come lol. 😊😄

Try to find a hobby outside of Tomdaya/the internet/social media Anon. 🥰 I'm fortunate that I have a lot of really good friends and do a lot with them. This past weekend I went to a play with friends, went out to dinner with another friend, and this weekend I'm going to a graduation party and also the movies, etc.

Find some things to do outside of being online, on social media, or Tomdaya. You will feel MUCH happier, I promise you lol.

Like, don't get me wrong, it's fun to discuss Tomdaya and all, but Tomdaya isn't my LIFE. I don't suggest any celebrity being anybody's life. It's not healthy imo. 😔 They're out there enjoying each other and their lives, and you should do the same! 😊👍🏾

Just start limiting how much you go online/searching Tomdaya stuff. Start TODAY!! 😃Maybe tell yourself you're only going to devote an hour to them a day or smthg. You can start and stop your timer on your phone throughout the day.

That helped me a lot when I was finding that I was spending way too much time on the internet when I should have been doing other more important things. 😄

I hope that helps Anon! Feel free to send in another ask or dm me privately if you want more tips 😉👍🏾

[sagau-my-beloved]

I thought I'd make a little update post since I took a bit of a break there, let everybody know how it's going.

Basically, it's the end of my first week of classes so I'm kind of being pulled in every which direction, and then what free time I do have I've pretty much used playing the new sumeru stuff.

So yeah, that's the reason for my lack of activity, going from like 4 posts a day, to 1, to none.

But now that the weekend's here it will pick back up for at least those days, just still trying to figure out how I'm going to work around everything you know.

Oh and I just hit 230 followers, so that's pretty cool, I've actually been trying to think of milestone events that I could do, but before I'm able to really put much thought into it I've already hit some sort of new goal lol.

Since I don't have a whole lot of experience with this I would be happy to take suggestions if you guys want to see anything in particular for a milestone event, I've seen people do like writing prompts and stuff but I just don't really know what would be the best thing to go with, so if anyone has any thoughts feel free to share, I would be happy to receive them.

Also probably a good opportunity to mention that I made a separate genshin blog that is actually a main, so it gives me the opportunity to reply to comments and other things like that.

Right now I'm pretty much using it for just posting stupid genshin stuff and other things that I feel the need to share throughout the day, but I'll actually start reblogging content and things that I like there soon too. Really I just made it with the intention of being a little less organized and I guess a bit more personal.

I did link it in my navigation, but since it doesn't actually update anyone when I edit a post I thought I would also talk about it here, just in case anybody wants to know about that and all.

And yeah, that's pretty much it, mostly just explaining the lack of activity recently, like I said I'll be getting back on track tomorrow.

So thank you all very much and I really appreciate all the kind words and requests <3

#hey look i'm talking #not genshin #update #pinky promise I'll get back on top of things soon #just getting my footing rn with all the new stuff going on

[weabooweedwitch]

I feel weird as fuck commenting on your situation in any capacity because I'm just an online rando who doesn't know you personally or the details of your issues w/ your mom beyond what you post and it all just feels a lil too parasocial but even though alleged therapist anon raises some (potentially?) good points about your relationship w/ her and maybe overall emotional issues I don't think you should beat yourself up too hard. It's normal for trauma survivors such as yourself to have some unhealthy and toxic interpersonal habits (slightly side-eyeing alleged therapist for not at least acknowledging this instead of just going in on you). You're not perfect, your mom is not perfect, it's okay we're all imperfect beings on this planet we call earth. Whether or not you're a covert narcissist (not gonna lie I had to google that one lmao) is between you and a personal, ahem, real therapist. Maybe you have some emotional dysregulation issues okay so what? Those can be improved!

Fun story about this online rando I was actually diagnosed with moderate to severe BPD at age 18. It turns out this was kind of a misdiagnosis in the first place, but my symptomatology (namely RSD from neurodiversity) very closely mimicked that of BPD and I had a lot of emotional problems perhaps similar to your own. You mentioned doing a round of DBT when you were a teenager and not finding success, but according to my actual real therapist and personal experiences it's very common for DBT to need multiple rounds before the skills fully sink in. It's also way better doing DBT as a fully formed adult than a teenager who frankly, probably doesn't take their mental health nearly as seriously as they should lmao (this crazy girl shit gets less and less cute with age I'm telling you). I'm now 23 and after 3 rounds of DBT I'm told I don't meet the criteria for borderline personality at all and haven't for a while now. Unfortunately there is a lot of stigma around this disorder (I noticed therapist anon throwing the word 'manipulative' around a bit), but that doesn't mean it's actually true. In many ways BPD is the modern day hysteria, but I won't go down that rabbit hole, just don't pay attention to what ignorant and oftentimes lowkey misogynistic people have to say online about BPD or other mental disorder! They are stupid armchair diagnoses who 99% of the time don't know wtf they're even talking about. You are loveable and worthy of life <3

I slept after work and i have a few asks now so, I'm gonna start this discussion again but since I uh, can get overwhelmed and over emotional I might eventually disappear from answering if u need to step back, but, anyways

One thing I have to be careful about is automatically leaning into "oh maybe they aren't even a real therapist" and I even got an ask suggesting this was one of those bitch lasagna people who were trying to actively make me miserable, which, I don't think is the case, but I also have to be careful automatically discrediting or lashing out emotionally at criticism because, well, a big problem I've always had is not being able to trust my own judgment and needing feedback from other people, stemming I assume from self loathing and anxiety stuff and I technically already am diagnosed with dependent personality disorder which, lack of self trust is a symptom of that (I'm sure I've mentioned that but maybe not?). One reason i began venting online when i was younger was because I would often have these sorts of incidents with my mother and I would use my blogs as the equivalent of an "am I the asshole" forum. I try to have a discussion and hearing other people's perspectives is good, and, a big issue I've struggled with is my mom immediately trying to get personal or discredit other people when they try to criticize her. Like, this isn't me going "see, my therapist thinks she's a stupid bitch" I mean when i was a minor she would literally go from absolutely loving a therapist and thinking they're extremely talented and caring and then when I got mad and repeated things like "hey you know, this is a licensed medical professional saying that a big component of our mother daughter dynamic is that you will literally wear me down to do what you want and you make it extremely difficult for me to set boundaries" and she has, literally, gone "they shouldn't be talking to you about me like that, I'm your parent, oh they just believe you because they've only listened to you, not me"

Well. I had multiple therapy sessions where, sometimes the topic would be dealing with my sister, or because I often feel like I struggle to bring up everything from not remembering, there WERE multiple times she would come into a session with me just to add on behaviors she's seen in me and things we've dealt with with my sister, and I had therapists tell me "yeah let's not have your mom come in here, she kept actually venting about her own issues and she was literally taking over your session and she was actually talking over you"

And im not, saying that to "prove" my mom is shitty or to say "oh look see, im justified" but like. My anger has built up over time? This didn't just magically start happening?

Yeah I need to stop blowing up over smaller things but also at the same time, I think I have a right to be frustrated when I'm seeing the same mistakes over and over, at least the ones that can financially damaging? I'm still SHOCKED she just stopped randomly paying the garage because. The remote isn't working and we have to use the keypad and I think some of the keypad buttons are loosening so sometimes you have to stand there and try it a few times because sometimes it won't close, it'll "untouch" a button you're still holding down and start opening again. And her response to that was "oh they weren't getting back to my emails so I just stopped paying rent" like. She. She literally dug us a hole worth hundreds of dollars for.... feeling entitled to help and getting mad over not getting it? She's been doing these sorts of behaviors for years? (Rm for post length)

Like gee I wonder what would happen if she pulled that shit with our landlord. "Oh, im gonna stop paying rent because the exhaust fan in the bathroom doesn't work" like no???? Why is she doing these things???? I was literally raised in poverty, why is she still doing this after we've had a literal lifetime of hardships???? Like gee thanks for not paying rent when you had solid income and now you're unemployed with hundreds of dollars due, that definitely helps, thanks, that's so much better, what a wise decision 🙄 and I call her out on it and she like, she literally sees nothing wrong with what she did? Because they didn't immediately cater to her, she stopped paying rent in protest, and that's Their fault. Like. That's fucking delusional. What if the property management tells our landlord we aren't paying for the garage and we get evicted??? Like it feels like she doesn't even realize the consequences???

Anyways back to what you actually said, fjfjfjf I rambled there, one thing I've noticed about DBT from the few times I was inpatient and outpatient is. You really do have to be in the right headspace for it to even work. It's so weird because certain things they would talk about and I would go "yeah well obviously, thats common sense" and other things would, kine of create an epiphany. Like for example, a phrase I try to keep with me is "its a process not an event" which basically means "don't get frustrated at immediate growth or results, things can take time" and this can apply to therapy, medication, really you can apply it to anything, but for me personally often when I am not seeing direct or immediate results, I feel like a failure and might give up way too soon, or beat myself up when I Am showing progress, just slowly.

Another DBT mindfulness technique I actually need to practice more (and tbh this could be an adhd thing, bc, I've always had focusing issues and I've read adhd can actually cause emotional regulation issues as well) is, like. When someone is speaking to you, don't be sitting there thinking of your reply, like, literally sitting there waiting for the second they stop speaking to say what you want, because then you're not thinking about and absorbing what the other person is saying. Although in my case often times I find myself doing that because I'm afraid I'll forget what I was gonna say, and my mom could also use a little work in this department

I definitely do think it's time for me to be reassessed though. I feel like now that I'm older and can better articulate my thoughts and memories and how things affect my relationships and ability to function, it can, I dunno, yield more results? Like something I heard constantly as a kid was "oh you have depression and anxiety and a lot of things overlap, let's treat those and see what symptoms are left" and its like homie that's kind of such a bad cop out sometimes, I feel like doctors adopting that mindset in my case really missed some important stuff. Like shit it feels weird to say since the trauma that caused it isn't recent, but I still display PTSD symptoms just in the sense that I'm jumpier and hypervigilant, like if there's an unexpected noise I still physically jump, I get startled easier, just the constant like, urge and need to look towards sounds or survey my surroundings which, I recognize my brain is literally going "hey, keep a look out for DANGER"

Regardless like, me being able to have these discussions with other people, positive or negative, is ultimately for my own benefit. Because this really is a sort of thing I can't do on my own. This IS a thing you take other people's feedbacks and perspectives on. But Jesus like. I'm not saying anyone has to hold my hand but that really felt so personally aggressive and it sent me onto a really horrible mental space. You know sometimes people insult themselves and belittle themselves because they think they're a lowly little worm and they just, they just hate themselves bro, like, it isn't always some inherent attempt to manipulate or demand pity and comfort. I've actually overnormalized saying horrible shit about myself and joking about suicide to the point I say it just, really easily, it comes naturally to me now, and that's definitely another habit I have to break

There's definitely stuff wrong with me, it's just a matter of finding out exactly what and, working towards treating that. It's just, unfortunately going to take some time and I need to make sure I keep my head on straight and don't do anything drastic in a fit of helplessness and despair or anything 😅

#like i dont rven feel like i can reply to these more supportive messages because of the accusations im just. tricking people? #idk... im just trying to be good and its hard. im having trouble controlling myslef #i often have like visceral physical reactions when i get upset like my heart literally begins racing #this isnt oh miranda is throwing a tantrum like im often sttaight up in crisis mode #idk. i just. want to know what to dk

rules & ooc (mobile)

Mun is over the age of 21, muse is under the age of 18. Mature themes concerning violence, trauma, abuse, death, etc. will be present. Romance will not surpass mild PG-13.

THE RULE OF LAW

01 : DON’T BE A DICK.

godmoding metagaming etc. ain’t cool, ooc drama is even less cool, don’t reblog IC posts you’re not involved in, yadda yadda yadda, i’m crossing my fingers here that i won’t need to make an entire encyclopaedia of regulations here i have faith that you’re smarter and more mature than that.

i like anons throw em my way ic or ooc, but misuse the anon function and you lose the privilege of being a faceless horror-terror that gives Dustin nightmares.

i’m not going to say no drama because humans as a species are the biggest drama-mongers of the earthly organisms. but i will avoid engaging in it like the plague. i do not tolerate hateful and/or aggressive behaviour. i don’t care why, to who, or what about. calm. down. this is a fucking hobby.

02 : DON’T BE A PUSHY DICK.

the muse is not the mun, if my answer’s no then it’s no. if you pester/nag me after saying no, i’ll just block you. my post length will vary and no i don’t expect you to match or vise versa. i don’t really fancy up posts for rp replies that’s too much effort i’m here to write you know?

i am disabled physically, neurologically, and psychologically; that along with other IRL circumstances mean that i will be slow. i may need to take breaks from rping, not have the focus for this specific muse, and i might forget things. i don’t mind the occasional poke if you feel i’ve forgotten a thread or an ask etc, but please be patient with me.

do not get angry with me that i roleplay to my comfort. if i don’t meet your expectations i don’t want to hear it, just find another cove to sail.

03 : DON’T BE A GROSS DICK.

dustin is a minor in official canon and in my canon. i ain’t shipping him with anyone outside his age range, and i sure as fuck ain’t shipping right off the bat. i don’t know you, therefore i don’t trust you, to write that kinda dynamic with you. any romantic/affectionate content will be light PG-13 if not straight-up PG. if you try and sneak in suggestive or NSFW shit i will thanos snap your creative motivation. and block you.

i may unfollow blogs that have a highly frequent amount of such content on their blog.

DON’T LET ME BE A DICK!

any commonly triggering content will be tagged (example tw), such as gore, abuse, suicide, etc. but don’t be afraid or ashamed to request i tag something specific for you. i’m grouchy, not judgemental.

don’t hesitate to let me know if you’re losing interest in a thread, don’t know how to respond, or even that you’re no longer interested in rping. honestly if the third’s the case you don’t even need to explain, yeet to freedom my sweet bird good luck out there and for the love of god enjoy yourself and feel no shame for it.

THANK YOU FOR NOT BEING A DICK!

RP has been a major part of my life for 99.9% of it, I started playing AD&D before I could properly write, and I’m not letting this strain of hobby go any time soon. Like I said I probably won’t be a highly active rper due to chronic illness and IRL issues, but my messages, askbox, are always open! And I’m happy to give my Discord if you’d like to chat over there as well. The rules are a lil snippy I wrote em at 4 in the morning initially then it only got worse cos and I’m a jaded animal but legit I don’t assume You are gonna break rules or anything there’s just been too many times man. Like I’m a shy guy and I don’t like having to deal with conflict so don’t make me ok

What does "discourse free" indicate? What is your opinion on [discourse] What is a "prompting inquiry?"

Discussion free means I WILL NOT be associated with any type of kind of discussion based on politics or ideas, whether that is reblogging articles involved with politics or answering asks connecting to them. A "provoking inquiry" is something that would certainly lead me to opening up a discussion worrying politics or ideas. If you have actually sent in an ask that I have actually not addressed, as well as it was something along these lines, that is why I overlooked it. If for some reason you truly require to ask me an inquiry like this, ask it off anon so I can answer it privately Asmr Nazerke. I never recognized how screwed up Tumblr was when I initiated my open plan. I do not have time to experience my fans and also obstruct every person I do not concur with, and despite how I specify my beliefs, someone will certainly be mad. It is best to maintain myself totally eliminated from it in order to preserve a cool blog. This blog site is literally just for relaxation. That being said, in one of the most vague terms I can perhaps muster, I will block blogs made for inciting violence against others. This shouldn't be a shock. It's common modesty. TLDR: This blog is except talking about viewpoints, starting battles, or spreading out hate of any kind of kind. I desire this blog site to stay a discourse complimentary location for relaxation. This is made to be a refuge for everyone. As well as in order to preserve that security, I will certainly obstruct anybody trying to incite physical violence (if I catch them. I can not see whatever). Everybody rates right here no matter age, race, gender, sexual orientation, or faiths, however reveal hate as well as violence will certainly not be tolerated!

Less major, extra basic inquiries:

Is this a stim blog?

My initial intent for this blog site is to be based upon ASMR, however I reblog as well as comply with numerous stim blog sites, as preferred stim audios and also ASMR triggers have a tendency to overlap with one another, and also because there are not many active or quality ASMR blogs on Tumblr. I am completely fine with those who stim utilizing this blog site to do so as well as it is urged! Because I am new to the concept of stimming, I do not desire to insert myself in the community with limited expertise.

Do you make moodboards or stimboards?

No, I am sorry yet I do not. Not just do I have no suggestion how to make those, but I feel like they make blogs looked jumbled. There are many various other blogs around that would be happy to take your request, though!

How usually do you publish/ how active are you?

My line up is presently set to once a day.

Do you use trigger warnings?

Yes, I have a list of the various trigger as well as web content cautions here. Thanks to the brand-new tumblr filtering system, we can all stay clear of points we do not wish to see, also on mobile!

Are you open up for requests?

I'll have the whether I remain in the summary and generally the ask box will certainly be identified with a yes or no.

Why do your old messages have the headphone () or swirl () emoji on them?

I made use of to make use of these emojis as a fast shorthand as to exactly how each article should be appreciated. The earphone emoji implies the post needs to be paid attention to, and the swirl means it must only be seen.

Why you don't utilize you the emojis anymore?

I just thought it looked irritating eventually. If you reblog my old messages you can delete the emoji enhancements SO LONG as the subtitle does not additionally debt a resource. ASMR BASICS:

What is ASMR?

ASMR represents Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response, which is a feeling of leisure or calm, that can be produced by certain audios, visuals, or experiences. An everyday instance can be obtaining your hair brushed, that makes you feel tranquil and sluggish, or listening to ocean waves as well as sensation unwinded by it. Some individuals can additionally really feel tingles along with the experiences of calm, but not every person who enjoy ASMR have felt it before, so it is not required.

What are "Triggers?" I believed those were bad things?

In ASMR, the word "activates" is used in a positive feeling and also describes the certain sounds or sensations that cause a person to loosen up and/or obtain tingles. Popular sets off consist of crunchy noises, light clicky or crinkly audios, soft talked/ murmuring noises, white sound audios (such as ear cleansing or mics being lightly combed), and also eating sounds. ~ ABOUT ME: ~.

Who are you?

You can call me Bex if you want. I am 23 years of ages and also pass she/her pronouns. , if you are a small and my age makes you uneasy do not hesitate to inform me as well as I will certainly unfollow you and/or you can block me. .

What is your major blog?

If you are interested in following me there, my major blog site is bextheboo. I upload memes and shitposts primarily. Sometimes the humor obtains grown-up, so if you're younger then you have been alerted. I additionally have a food blog site if you're like me as well as enjoy food photos, it's called hungry-tummy if you're interested!

Why do you make use of ASMR?

I use ASMR to soothe my anxiousness. It places me into a sleepy and very calm mind state where I feel risk-free and loosened up. Often I utilize it to help me drop off to sleep, although I frequently wind up getting tangled up in my headphones or having strange desires from subconsciously listening to all of it evening long.

Have you ever before obtained "Tingles"?

Yes I have! My really first tingles were from the sound of two screw brushes (mascara brushes) having their bristles scrubed together from a video clip that has actually since been deleted, unfortunately. I feel tingles on the back of my head, in an area to the left somehow. If you've never ever obtained tingles, then do not worry, everyone is various! Some individuals evidently just do not feel them which's totally all right, they do not happen really usually for me, but that doesn't make paying attention to ASMR any type of less delightful. The objective of paying attention to it is to loosen up and be calm. Yet do not hesitate of branching off and also attempting brand-new kinds of ASMR to locate your triggers! I didn't assume I would certainly appreciate consuming noises or inaudible murmurs, however I really do! That being stated, in the most vague terms I can potentially summon, I will certainly block blogs made for inciting physical violence versus others. I desire this blog site to remain a discourse cost-free place for relaxation. My original intent for this blog is to be based on ASMR, yet I reblog and also comply with numerous stim blog sites, as prominent stim sounds and also ASMR activates tend to overlap with one another, as well as since there are not lots of energetic or high quality ASMR blogs on Tumblr. I am entirely great with those who stim using this blog to do so and also it is urged! Not only do I have no concept exactly how to make those, but I really feel like they make blog sites looked jumbled.

The Power of Positive Thinking: Techniques to Boost Your Mental Health

We all know that positive thinking can be beneficial for our mental health, but many of us don’t realize just how powerful it really is. Positive thinking has been scientifically proven to have a wide range of benefits, from reducing stress and anxiety to improving self-esteem and physical health. In this blog post, we’ll take a look at the power of positive thinking and discuss some practical techniques, as stated by the best Indore psychiatrist that you can use to boost your mental health.

First off, let's talk about what exactly positive thinking is. It's not simply being happy or having an optimistic outlook - it involves actively working on changing negative thoughts into more constructive ones in order to create better outcomes for yourself or others around you. This form of cognitive restructuring helps reduce stress levels by reframing situations in healthier ways so they are less likely to cause distress or worry down the line. Additionally, research suggests that when practiced regularly over time with consistency and effort put into it – like any other skill –positive thought patterns become entrenched as habits that further help improve overall wellbeing.

Now let’s get into some practical tips on how you can start incorporating more positivity into your life:

Identify Negative Thoughts: The first step towards making meaningful changes is recognizing when negative thoughts arise so they can be addressed head-on instead of allowing them to fester unchecked within our minds; try keeping track throughout the day via journaling if need be! 

Reframe Your Thinking: Once identified shift focus away from those unhelpful ideas by looking at things from different angles; ask yourself questions such as “What would happen if I chose not to? What could go right? How might someone else view this situation differently than me?" Doing these exercises will help break up rigid thought patterns while also introducing new perspectives which may lead to better solutions!  

Practice Self-Compassion & Gratitude: Lastly make sure that along with challenging ourselves mentally we're also taking care emotionally through regular acts like self-care (e.g. yoga/meditation), expressing gratitude daily (even for small things), and engaging in activities known to bring joy such happiness-inducing hobbies. Allowing ourselves moments where we feel loved unconditionally goes far beyond helping just mood states but rather creates lasting change within us physically too!

tumblr etiquette 101

a list that is nowhere near exhaustive, from yours truly.

First off, welcome! Whether you’re a twitter veteran looking for anything but whatever twitter is, or a new user just done signing up, glad to see you in our ranks beloveds! Welcome home. Refer to this quick tour to make sure your fandom experience (or tumblr experience in general) is a positive one!

Disclaimer: I know it’s long, but please try to read or skim through til the end if you’re new here! This is by no means meant to be a rule book (for the most part lol), only a guide to help you get settled easier!

1) Your blog

This is where people will see and interact with you, so put some effort into it!

Try to choose a name (url) that’s simple. You can see it as your brand, it’s how people will perceive you and remember you. If you’d like to interact with other users here (and not use the site just for the content) it’s better to have something short and sweet, preferably without spaces. (Of course, these are only suggestions.) Rest assured, you can change it literally any time you want.

Have a theme. Utilize the tool that lets you edit your blog’s color or the font of your bio! You can make it match your profile picture, or your blog if it has a theme of its own. Make it feel homey :]

Fill in your bio. People will be checking out your profile probably more often than you think. Don’t leave it empty! Put in any information you’re comfortable with sharing and isn’t too personal (like your age if you’re a minor, or other TMI that can be found on other people’s carrds). It’s always better to add a name/nickname people can use to refer to you by, but feel free to use your blog description to shitpost still.

You can have an intro post. More often than not, you’ll see a blog have a pinned post, a post permanently appearing at the top of a blog until you pin another post or unpin it. You can make one of those, if you’d like to introduce yourself in more length, link any other socials or a carrd, and show others visiting your blog how you tag things so it’ll be easy for them to navigate. Not an obligation.

Keep your anonymity and your safety. It should go without saying, but there’s no harm in repeating it just in case. Your comfort, privacy and safety has the utmost importance. Don’t share any information you don’t want to. Don’t share your age if you’re a minor, or any other incredibly personal info. I’d encourage you to go by a nickname that’s not your real name, (blog name, your brand, remember?) since there’s safety in anonymity, and that’s lowkey one of the big deals of tumblr, but that’s up to you still.

Choose what you want to be visible. Your liked posts and who you follow are all things you can set to keep to yourself and hide from the publics eye, how handy! You should go through all the setting while you’re at it, set it to your comfort.

Side blogs are a thing. You can have multiple blogs that you can use for different things (see: different fandoms, art blog, etc) to keep them organized or away from your followers. Just remember that the replies and off-anon asks you send will be from your main blog, as well as where you follow other blogs from.

2) Interacting with others

You’ve set up your account, now comes the fun part!

Follow to your heart’s desire. If you care about others seeing who you follow, fear not! In tumblr, usually only two types of blogs keep their following visible to others: newbies, and big blogs using it to point people on other good blogs’ direction. Just turn it off, and go ham following people.

Customize your dashboard. Gonna mention just two things here: this is another reason why it’s really important that you follow blogs without sparing, your dash will collect dust otherwise; and you should turn off “best stuff first” in your dashboard settings, to have a better community here and all.

Follow tags. You can set it in your settings that posts with your followed tags appear on your dashboard.

You can check the og post for edits and context. When you see a reblogged post you don’t understand the context of (or don’t recognize the character in case of fanarts), click on the profile so it will take you to the original post. From there you can check the original poster’s tags to get the context, or see if there have been any edits made to the post, since when you edit a post it doesn’t update any past reblogs.

Send people asks... This is how you make mutuals, people! Do it off-anon if you’d like them to know your blog, or anon if you’d rather not! (You can still end your messages with a signature to show you’re the same person, -[name] is one example.) Send them nice messages, ask their opinion on something, discuss things, or just straight up shitpost lol. Go wild. The sky’s your limit and it’s definitely more than 280 characters.

...and let them ask you! You can set your preference in the settings, do it on desktop tumblr to access more settings tho! What you can customize on mobile is limited (like letting people ask you things anonymously, that’s only on desktop settings). In my personal opinion, it’s always better to tag their username (or a nickname you give them, if they’re a friend) on that post, since you wouldn’t want your interactions with your friends to get buried in your blog forever.

Comment on posts. If you have something to say but don’t want the post to appear on your blog you can add a comment. The owner of the post will get a notif for it, but for anyone else you need to tag them.

For the love of god, reblog. People will only see your liked posts if you have it visible to public and they specifically go on your blog to look at them. You like something? You reblog. It’s already hard for posts to circulate properly, if you don’t reblog them literally no one will see them. If not for anything do it for the artists. Just hold and drag on mobile to fast rb.

3) Your Posts

Finally here! Don’t be a lurker, post and engage!

Make use of “read more”. If your post is long, add it. That’s what you clicked on earlier to expand this post. On desktop leave an empty line and you’ll see three dots appear, and on mobile type :readmore: on that empty line.

Draft a post to come back to it later. Pretty self explanatory.

Queue your post. Whether it’s your own post or you’re reblogging, make use of the queue feature to a) not spam reblog and fill up the dashboard of people following you and b) keep your blog active while you’re gone. Mess around in the settings, it’s fairly easy to set up.

Schedule your post. Same as queueing, the only difference is you get to choose the exact time your post will go up. Handy if you want to schedule a post for certain dates like april fools, or 5 years in the future for some reason. 

Format your texts. You can do all kinds of fancy stuff here (that’s a link, try pressing on it). Twitter doesn’t have this, make use of it. Changes depending on whether you’re on mobile or desktop. (Desktop has less features.)

Check your stats. If you’re trying to understand the algorithm better or want to look at some pretty graphs you can get your data on that on desktop tumblr.

@ people in comments. You’ll get all the notifs when people comment on your posts but they won’t see your reply unless you tag them in your message.

4) Tags, and tagging a post

This is where my earlier statement “this isn’t a rule book” stops being applicable. It’s not a war crime to go against these, I won’t come chasing you (don’t take my word for this) but you’ll work up a bad rep. Just saying lol.

Do NOT crosstag posts. It’s really tempting to add unrelated tags to increase your posts’ interaction, I know, but that’s not what tumblr is about. Don’t be a dick and make other communities’ experience worse for them.

Always tag your posts with “crit/critical/discourse/etc” if it calls for it. There’s no exceptions to it. This is the reason you see people migrating to tumblr. Let people enjoy things.

Don’t main tag a critical/negative post. If your crit post is about “Thing”, you add the “Thing critical” tag, but not the “Thing” tag. People block crit tags if they don’t want to see it, don’t shove it in their faces by main tagging it. 

If you don’t want to see something, just block it. Another reason why people are able to survive on tumblr. You don’t start discourse, you don’t make call-outs, you block. You can find something for every community you can think of if you go looking for it. The worst of the worst probably won’t ever appear on your dash, but if you’re worried or feel the need for it, you know where the block button is.

Feel free to shitpost or ramble. More often than not you’ll see people rb a post with a comment, and their elaboration will be in the tags. The tags are only visible on your profile and the notifications of the owner of the og blog. Just a thing people do.

Reblog artists’ posts with nice comments in the tags! Commenting on a drawing is usually done through the tags (Not an obligation, again, just a thing people do. Feel free to add your comment on the rb itself if you’d want other people to see it tho!) and leave nice messages for the artists! It’s a win-win for everyone involved. 

If you have more than a single follower, always use the common tw warning tags. You don’t need to tw everything, but tw’ing some common things is the bare minimum human decency. Keep it safe for others. 

Tag a post “long post” if it’s really long. Pretty self explanatory. Don’t make people scroll through all that please lol. 

You can use them to organize your blog. This is more of a pro tip, if you’d like to not miss a post in your blog, cause they will start pilin’ up soon enough.

#Liveblogging is pretty fun. If you’d like to talk to people during streams, don’t forget to add the relevant tags still! Again, you won’t show up on people’s dash otherwise.

Whew! That got out of hand. Hopefully I didn’t bore you too much. Check out blogs like @heritageposts and @hellsite-hall-of-fame to honor our past o7. @mcytblr-hall-of-fame too maybe :eyes:. Anyways, don’t forget the most important rule of them all:

Enjoy your stay! You’re meant to have fun on here while also making friends (if that’s your thing). Just be kind and respectful of others, you’ll get the hang of the rest! <3
