i was gonna reblog a long winded thing about fandom with my own long winded tags but you know what it's a lot easier to just say: fandom is a capitalist commodity and there's nothing wrong with being engaged with it or finding some joy in it but in my experience as someone that used to be involved with huge fandoms during their heyday it's a lot easier and more fun to just have a small circle of friends + have a couple of hobbies or passions outside of fandom + engage with media at your own pace + talk about and engage with "dead" or "out of date" media that speaks to you or scratches a particular itch + start on something creative and original on your own or with your friends that you can actually theorize, and collaborate on together + live deliciously

#nothing better than talking about original characters or original stories in progress over wine or card games with your friends and getting #A Little Bit Too Into IT #much more satisfying and better use of my time than arguing with someone who Thinks They Got what a story was about #or coloring within the lines of a pre-existing character through fanfiction #or seeing the same characters over and over again in different poses and colors through fan art #i mean dont get me wrong i love all that stuff at different times but idk once you drink the #Cry With Your Friends About How Your Characters Trust Each Other And Share Their Anguish juice its really hard to go back #the doctor is in #not plague #i will also say these things are also the reason why im not as active on tumblr anymore for the last couple years im thriving #also recieving a gift of art or writing about your creation from a friend is 1000x more meaningful memorable and important than #having an endless stream of free fan art by people on the internet of your TV show or video game blorbo BUT THATS JUST MY OPINION

ty @novemberthorne​ for the tag ur sweet (see his post here!)

i have so many wips so narrowing them down to just five is a mess.. but we stay silly. all of these are steddie to some degree except for the stobin one:

1. carve your name on arrival 2. 25 years later 3. finding nothing but faith in nothing 4. stobin s3 reflection ficlets 5. steddie ponyplay fic

the most ive worked on recently is for something saved under “25 years later” so thats what my snippet will be:

“I’ve been better.” Steve smiled and flipped the file open to see, first, Eddie’s credentials. He had been prepared to say more, but what he read shocked him, his jaw dropping open entirely.

Eddie glanced down at the page, nervous; he waited for Steve to pick his jaw up from the floor.

“You’re a neurosurgeon.”

#idr do these kinds of things anymore so being KnownTM about it is kinda nervewracking but #anyway #🫣 thats all ive been up to for the last year is writing steddie #idr have anyone to tag i dont use tumblr much for fandom these days #also i see u arvid. not saying anything about what weve been writing. hush hush contents #jk i'll drop the title idc idc #every day at 4pm i shovel dirt into my face #i think that was my talking tag #ok byeeeee #(after hitting post) now why didn't it @ you

ppl will just reblog posts w outright historical misinformation in them

#source: just trust me bro #text post #if a claim sounds strong and compelling you should still fact-check it #bc ppl will make very specific statements like 'oh this specific thing happened after this thing happened as a result of--' and #theyre getting the order of the timeline messed up #and no one is pointing that out. like. ok #i dont like to get my hands dirty on tumblr dot com so you know it wont be me doing that #it tends not to really do anything bc by the time it gets out there... it's already out there #there's already a mistruth on however many ppl's blogs. i've never seen someone directly comment misinfo on my dash #but ppl happily REBLOG it all the time. #and i get it like i get it we all wanna reblog stuff that affirms our world view #this is why i tend not to blog much about social/political issues very much anymore #bc this happens all the time when ppl try to make objective claims #or when they do cite sources the sources will often have their own problems and/or be misquoted #im very skeptical of information i find or see shared on here #which is not to say that my own personal politics are changed or even that theyre vastly different from ppl partaking in them on here #but. like. geez you know it feels like there's no way to win or participate in a useful discourse anymore #idk how to talk about serious issues online in 2024 and it's quite dispiriting honestly #there are no standards anywhere anymore. #everything moves too fast and we want easy satisfaction and that's a huge reason why misinformation is so effective #all across the political spectrum but especially on platforms where it's easy to form an echochamber

[autisticlee]

I started with posting about my autistic experience on twitter, reading posts on there, and interacting with people there.

then twitter got unbearable, so I moved back here and made a new account and side blogs to mirror twitter and lurk in the tags.

i've noticed a difference between autism twitter and autism tumblr from the big algorithm-controlled posts I usually see:

autism twitter makes me feel like i'm not allowed to say autism disables me or causes problems in life

while autism tumblr makes me feel like i'm not allowed to feel positively about being autistic and can only see it as a struggling disability.

the contrast makes me dizzy 😵‍💫 it's like no one wants to see the perspective of other people when we are all different. each side wants their narrative to be the told one.

#autistic #actually autistic #autism #a little criticism for both. can we not do this 😭 #twitter is always “dont use your autism as a disability/excuse for why you cant do a thing! it'll mean i wont be able to do the thing #anymore if they know i'm autistic!“ like when i asked if i can be exempt from jury duty because TALKING HARD. due to autistic #but on tumblr it's always “dont call autism a difference in brain. it's a disability and that's all it is because it ruins my life and is #so hard for me! stop trying to make it look like a positive thing!“ #and like....both????? its both?! because it depends on the person and how they see it themself and how affects THEM. not you. #its both positive thing that makes me who i am and disability that makes many things difficult. it can be both 😭 #let people describe whats best for them and dont speak for everyone! #linking this to twitter too because both sides gives me headaches lmao #lee rambles #i know people disabled by autism want their storoes told. i know people not as didabled by autism want their stories told #but we cant just do ONE and push only that narrarive. telling one doesnt discredit the other. both are equally important!!! learn to share! #help each other. dont disagree and post passive aggressive posts about each other on social medias. ugh. #i feel like im stuck between where i see it positivly while it disrupts parts of my life at the same time so i dont fit anywhere #people tell me “if you want friends then be friends with other autistics” but i dont even fit in with “my people” sometimes #if anyone else noticed or feels like this then *internet ghost hug* belonging ks difficult :(

lol just saw that the friend who has aired me for almost a year deleted their tumblr account. lololol

#idk if they blocked me or what....... like just randomly cut off all contact w me one day #which they're well within their rights to do but like. damn. couldnt even give a reason why or anything???? #like i think they were going thru a mental health episode or something like that.. but its been literally almost a year #and i sent messages trying to reach out until giving up #and in all of that time. not even a 'hello' or a 'i'm alive and just dont wanna be friends with you anymore' #they even stopped following me on pinterest i think????? idek if rhey followed me to begin witu its been that long #but like. idk if u ever see this cause ik u dont rly use tumblr anymore #first of all im rly worried about u. but if ur fine and youve been ignoring me all this time for reasons you never shared #that is. i mean to be honest that really sucks and it feels real bad. ugh whatever #gotten it out of my system now #precious.rants

[rorsry]

i literally forgot that if i redownload the tumblr app then it auto updates

#do you know how hard it was for me to try and find out how to do tags #hey tumblr we dont need a button for the community label where the tag button was #literally could've put it anywhere else #i do like them adding an automatic :readmore: so mobile users dont have to use That anymore #dont like what om seeing though. why are the tabs so To The Left. why are they not even #god dont get me started on the bubble notes its so ugly

#im not gonna be posting about roe v wade anymore #i have a few reasons but 1: go read the fucking news if you need info why are you relying on your tumblr dash to give relevant information #2: not wanting to add more doomscroll content to my blog isnt a moral failing its a survival tactic see point 1 go read the fucking news #3: I really really do hope that my blog can be a place of respite right now #like that sounds lofty and pretentious and ig it kinda is but idk theres no place you can turn right now that isnt talking about this #thats not bad. in fact its good that people are angry. I'm angry. I'm angry and im scared for the rights of every marginalized person #in the us right now. But goddamn just reading about how much everything sucks and how terrible everything is really isnt doing anything #. being informed is good but i dont think there is a single concievable way right now that you CANT be informed. if youre not aware of whats #going on in the supreme court at the moment I applaud you because jesus christ youre living off the grid #I don't know what to do about this. I am a single human being and the problem is hundreds of years of systemic oppression #the political inertia of whats happening alone is incomprehensibly large #and i dont know how to stop that. especially not from my fucking tumblr blog with like... 100 followers #if yall need to talk im here. I want my blog to be someplace safe rn #so yeah keep reading and keep being angry. I know im going to be #but im not gonna reblog anything else

[muirneach]

why are all the suggested blogs on my blog taylor swift blogs. when have i EVER talked about her on here

#im not a hater or an enjoyer i simply don’t particularly care about her. but like why are they suggested as simular blogs as mine #also occasionally its all encanto blogs. which i also have never talked about #then sometimes its stuff i used to blog about but like 2-3 years ago which. come one tumblr you can see i dont do that anymore #sometimes its good though when its fellow old media enjoyers :)

[yelloworangesoda]

i kind of try to interact with art/high effort posts if they have low notes and if i see too many notes it makes me put off reblogging something. but if i want to keep up this mentality i should really be checking the notes bc its not fair to not reblog the post with the 200:1 like to reblog ratio LOL (this is a dumb mentality anyway note count should not prevent me from interacting)

#6 reblogs and 47 likes?????? obviously this wasn’t a bigger post but damn like i see why #bc it has 47 likes and only 6 reblogs i 8($4!5!3 #tumblr metrics… nobody owes you anything but nobody reblogs things that arent funny anymore #i also find myself pushing away from joke art. im sure youll get your notes. you dont need me #simons spouting #maybe i can get an extension to hide note counts on posts so i just base it on the post #it wont work on my phone but i use tumblr primarily on my computer anyway

Polish Witcher fans are just evil fucking people and i hate them so much <3

#this is very random but #yeah. brought to you by: i am stupid and i looked at the comments in a polish wither group under the new cast announcement post #despite knowing full well that im gonna see horrible disgusting far-right cishet boys being absolutely cruel racist fatphobic etc #whether you do or dont like the netflix series is absolutely irrelevant. this is just like. basic human decency. #they're not even shitting on the show anymore. they're insulting and degrading an actress because she's black and fat #because sapkowski described the character (yes there is blatant sexualisation of women in the og witcher books) #as having a figure more beautiful than Yennefer's #and that the statues of nymphs and goddesses would be eaten by jealousy if they saw her naked #(again. sapkowski's words not mine. old creep) #and guess what. the actress they hired is fat. note how sapkowski never once used a word 'thin' or 'skinny'. just 'beautiful'. #there is pure hell in the comments under that post. #pictures of pigs. 'disgusting fat hog' 'those statues would either laugh or throw up if they saw her naked' etc. #people arent even mad about her being black because they're so preoccupied with her not being skinny #i just dont get it. i genuinely dont understand why would anyone be so cruel. what do they get out of this? #like i dont usually wish bad things on people. but this is the exception. i genuinely fucking hope something horrible happens #to every single one of these people <333 not only them. from the bottom of my heart i wish bad things on people who are so disgustingly #racist fatphobic homophobic mysoginistic who are just cruel and take pleasure in other people's pain #having said that. the witcher community here on tumblr is amazing. generally people here are great. not only in this fandom. #and then i come out into the real word and i am forcefully reminded that poeple in general (especially here in this fucking country. #piles upon piles of young edgy boys obssesed with their beloved fascist political party. treating women as objects. insulting everyone #who is different. i am so sick of this. hate upon hate upon hate. like i really genuinely dont understand it. i just dont. #maybe im fucking stupid and naive but i dont want to believe that the majority of people. of men. is bad. #but then i see comments like these and i am just. speechless. i am honestly stunned with how horrible these people are. #anyway. its 3 am and im having a little breakdown over people on the internet being mean lol but i am an oversensitive little bitch so #whatever

Im really tempted to just unfollow both those two old friends I posted about earlier, tha I adored and then randomly unadded me on everything :( cause I miss them both individually so badly, and I want to keep following them both to be able to support and reblog their art when they post.........but at this point seeing their posts- art or not- is just making me feel really fucking shitty and sad all over again :(

#I dont know why neither havent just blocked me? #I still see their posts on tumblr and like and reblog and tag them #and I have messaged them both in the past but never got a single response....... #so I know they see me interact with their posts #but neither seem to want contact with me for some reason #yet despite that #just let me follow them and reblog their stuff still???? #I dont know #I just dont know what I did #why did two different people separately do the same thing to me #hell Ray even removed me from FB as far as I can tell but he just doesnt mind me here??????? #and idk about Orpheus tho :( #I think theyve actually responded to some of my lil “miss you and hope youre okay!” messages and dont seem to hate me at all #so maybe I just paranoid and over reacting and just need to try and restart the friendship #but yeah......idk about Ray #I guess its possible he just doesnt use FB anymore and thats why I cant find him on there now #idk #watch both of them not give a shit or even think about it and Im just over reacting #because Ive lost so many friends in the past already because of my own actions :( #personal #lmao sorry ya'll
