Castlevania III Dracula's Curse Part 1: The one with 100% less edgy writing
Castlevania III is often viewed as one of the best games in the series, at least within the context of the Classic games
And...yeah this is absolutely one of my favorite games in the series! I have my issues here and there but overall this is pretty much Castlevania 1 but more.
More stages and longer to boot. More obstacles. More music better graphics and even more characters!
Graphically this may just be one of the best games of the era, just a great level of detail in the backgrounds that help give this game a genuinely haunting looking atmosphere even more than its predecessors.
Music wise this game is one of the best in the franchise, ESPECIALLY the Japanese Famicom version which featured enhanced audio thanks to the greater memory space and other technical stuff
I’m playing a translated Japanese rom because, as many know, the international versions of this game had its difficulty tampered with in questionable ways.
Generally speaking damage is now dictated by level rather than enemies. What this means is that in the early stages enemies and bosses will be weaker but by the end they’ll be much harder. Add to this some slightly altered enemy placement to be a bit more dickish and some nerfed moves here and there and we have a recipe for frustration
And believe me: this game is already more than hard enough as it is!
The main new feature of this game are partners! You can unlock 3 new characters though you can only bring one of them with you alongside Trevor
Here we see Grant! Anyone not recognizing him may have started with the Netflix show where he dodged a massive bullet by not being featured
Poor Grant is like the ugly duckling of Castlevania 3: he’s barely mentioned in futire games and he doesn’t really have much of a legacy unlike the others
Unfortunately I’ll continue this tradition since I will only make 2 playthroughs of this game, one for each major level route, which means one of them has to be with Alucard as a partner and the other either Grant or Sypha...and the latter is my favorite in the game so sorry man
Anyway Grant should definitely shut up everyone who claims that Classicvanias had stiff controls because they’re “old”, since he can actually move in midair!
Granted the jump still feels heavy so it’s still not very graceful, but this still means Grant is a more mobile character than the others
His main ability is being able to climb over any surface. This can be used to essentially skip some platforming sections here and there and it makes Grant the most ideal character for pure level traversal. My only issue is that his climbing can be janky: when he takes a turn you have to immediately press the d-pad in the direction of the climbable surface otherwise you’ll just slip off. Sometimes if you take a turn too quickly you’ll slide off entirely.
He’s offensively weak though in the Japanese version his standard attack is actually an infinite throwing dagger, which is certainly much better than the dinky close range knife he has internationally
But we must say goodbye to Grant and welcome another new character, one that has the ability to truly break the game in various ways...

aaahh i haven’t done too much edging or omorashi before, but i just edged to your blog and it just felt so good to do it while also needing to pee, it made the feeling of getting soo close to the edge and pulling away so much more intense… i eventually accidentally ruined and it felt really nice but now i feel frustrated aagh. love how your blog is hot and also interesting/informative and also very inspiring. makes me wanna deny myself (can i be 🐈‍⬛?)
🐈‍⬛ is yours! (hopefully the emoji rendering works out on mobile, ik that's [cat+ZWJ+black] which looks like a black cat on some platforms and like two separate emoji on this desktop)
glad to hear i'm inspiring folks! and a ruin is a beautiful thing—i'm very flattered i could be a part of a ruin while holding for you! the frustration makes it all so much sweeter in my experience. i'm also super happy you like my blog (and especially that it makes you want to deny yourself) and would love to hear more experiences you have with holding and/or denial!
(also sorry i took so long to answer this... i'm catching up on a little backlog of asks; i won't post the ones that feel like they were supposed to be time-sensitive. i'm sorry to anyone i didn't answer while i was on my hiatus!! i'll do a little edging for every ask in my inbox to maybe make it up to all the friendly anons who wanted me to help them hold while i was away.)

Hi! I'm doing a school design project and I've decided to have a go at designing a Archive of Our Own app! I was wondering if you might be up for answering some questions to help me with my design (I need to show research in my project!)
If you are, answers to these would be SUPER helpful!
How long have you been engaging fanfiction sites such as Archive of our own, Fanfiction.net and Wattpad? 
What are some of your favourite works or fandoms on those sites? 
Are you a writer as well as a reader?
What drew you to these platforms and why do you stay? 
How long have you been engaging with the site Archive of Our Own specifically? 
What does your engagement with the platform look like? 
How often do you engage with the platform?
What are your favourite aspects of the platform? 
Do you think that you engage with all of the elements available on the platform?
Are there any elements of the platform that frustrate you? 
Of the fanfiction sites you frequent, where would you rank the site as a whole and why?
What do other platforms have that Archive of Our Own does not, which you enjoy interacting with? 
Are there any features unique to Archive of Our Own that you enjoy?
If Archive of Our Own were to develop a mobile app, what features would you like to see? 
Would you like the app to be similar in aesthetic and function to the already established website?
Are there any features you would like to see added to the platform in the app?
If you're not interested no worries! Thanks so much
Okay so this has been sitting in my inbox forever. I’m so sorry I haven’t answered! I’ve been slammed with work, college, etc. I’d love to help you, but I’m just so exhausted right now.
If anyone wants to answer this though, feel free! I’m so sorry I’m not able to help you with your project. Hopefully some Irondad fans come in clutch!

Hi! I apologize for bothering you with this question, but I’m honestly not sure who else I can ask. I’ve been trying to sign up for kyo-online these past few days and I cannot seem to get the registration email. I know they’re having problems with Gmail accounts receiving emails from them, and I only have Gmail accounts, but there is a note that they can make an account for credit card payments if you send them an email with the “necessary information.” I don’t speak or understand enough Japanese and mostly rely on translation apps to skirt by with the information I need - would I be able to contact their support in English? I’m sort of afraid to send an email in English, get no response, and be stuck.
(Also, thank you for the things you share on your blog here. I honestly lurk, but I always look forward to your posts and appreciate the work you put into cleaning up pictures or into edits.)
Hello! Sorry for taking a week to reply. I was trying some email providers and waiting for the email to pop up... In vain. Neither Yahoo nor Protonmail work, let alone Gmail and Hotmail, and iCloud plus whatever other email they list on the mobile sites.
In short, it seems impossible for us (anyone, anywhere?) to sign up on any of the mobile fan sites. I don't see why Japanese fans would have more luck. Only a knot still works, as far as I know, because it uses a different platform?
What I was trying to register for is TheTheDay, by the way.
Does anybody have any tips? There aren't a hundred free email providers we can try... Has anyone had success subscribing an entirely new membership to Die-online, Dir en grey-online, TheTheDay, Kyo-online or sukekiyo-online in the last few months?
Co-yomi channels (Shinya and Toshiya) are different and still functional, right?
(Oh and I very much appreciate your message!)

@niteshade925 :
Because sinophobia is now fused with political scapegoating. A very dangerous combination. Now that we are seeing deliberate genocide in Palestine, I do wonder how long it will be before the camps start opening for business again #:)#i mean internment camps were a thing. there is a precedent for this kind of bs.#sorry to op for taking it there#but I do think some things need to be said. before it's too late.
in all seriousness, while I don't want to completely dismiss internment as a future possibility, however, imo there are marked differences between modern-day aapi/sino diaspora landscape and previous forms of yellow peril, which would make a revival of some kind of internment project unlikely, at least on a large and public scale. (of course there's no telling for secret disappearances and/or trussing up the ol' sinophobic trope of spy accusations - which have in recent times prompted some reversal of brain drain at the very least)
between now and then was McCarthyism and widespread systemic project of anticommunism... like literally, the PRC wasn't even established yet when the last japanese internment camps were closed.
The form of assimilation we see today is the project of "diversity & inclusion" - in the American project. In similar hypocrisy as idealizing "free speech" (in which only acceptable speech is tolerated in narrow parameters regardless of factuality), inclusion is predicated on alignment to US American interests. The diaspora (not just Chinese) who openly denounce and make a show of "I left my home country because it was communist which is bad" get platformed in mainstream media. I can't remember the last time I heard of anyone who says "I love my motherland [not the US]" spread in mainstream media (or films propped up and lauded in the west), it's completely unheard of. Films made in China that remotely have a message of national pride get smeared as "propaganda" (laughs in Top Gun & other DoD hollywood), and often do not receive screenings in the US. This is essentially a requirement now in order to assimilate into the predominant US culture. As an Asian diaspora you can opt out of "yellow peril" by denouncing it yourself, thereby aiding in legitimizing "yellow peril" as a real threat to "real Americans" or capitalism or whatever. (This isn't to say it won't bite people in the butt, but by and large, the victims of hate crimes are marginalized folk like elderly or [assumed] sex workers, and not the ones who make a show to be anti-China/pro-USA who are more likely to come from backgrounds of relative privilege.)
the american empire wouldn't need internment camps anymore, in fact it would be detrimental to their optics and mythos (from "land of opportunity" to "melting pot"). over 70 years of effort put into converting would-be sympathizers of communist kinsmen into staunch supporters of liberal democracy - a different type of cage if you ask me - wasted
borrowing from from "Can the Chinese Diaspora Speak?" (recommend checking out the whole article wrt overseas chinese history btw) ::
In an era of renewed Cold War aggression towards China, historicizing the workings of multicultural empire and the strategic inclusion of the Chinese diaspora therein reveals the justifying discourses of U.S. imperialism. ... By the mid–1950s, the State Department and CIA had both identified the overseas Chinese as a strategic target for psychological warfare and anticommunist propaganda. .... Identifying the “critical importance” of overseas Chinese to U.S. Cold War efforts, ethnic Chinese in the United States were mobilized to produce and disseminate testimonials of U.S. exceptionalism to encourage Chinese diasporic allegiance to their host countries and not “Red China.” For instance, the USIA launched a popular Chinese-language magazine called Free World Chinese, which featured success stories of Chinese and other Asians in the United States as evidence of free world liberal exceptionalism. ... In differentiating “friends and enemies,” Cold War Chinese American inclusion was premised on a binary between “model minority” anticommunist allies and “yellow peril” communist sympathizers. While Cold War racial liberalism afforded new opportunities for civil inclusion for Chinese Americans willing to embrace the legitimizing fictions of U.S. imperialism, it also created conditions for state-sanctioned anticommunist repression for those alleged to have the wrong international sympathies.

The beta file is sure getting longer and longer... I'm finding it hard to navigate. Sometimes my browser hangs when scrolling. Have you ever thought of transferring it to somewhere else? I would suggest Notion, which has good database features. Or whatever app/site that's geared towards handling large data. If it's too much work, I'd be glad to help out!
Hello,
we are sorry that you have problems loading the page. It hasn't been the case for us so far and we haven't heard from anyone else about it, but then again people mostly get in touch to ask for an entry deletion or modification.
The Beta File it is indeed long, and we're not going to delete older entries: we sometimes get asks to modify early ones, which means some, at least, are still active. Putting entries on different tabs might also look more manageable, but might make people just not click on other tabs to check, which is a shame.
Needabeta is a small project that uses the Google Form to Google Sheet system, because it's quick and easy (being automated). And, to be fair, we also never quite expected to reach that many people ;-)
However, while we're glad to offer a fandom tool, we're also busy people. Adding extra work to transfer all the data to another platform has already been suggested, but it is not something we are able or willing to do. As it is, Needabeta is low maintenance and we (sometimes ;-) get positive feedback, so as long as it works as is, we will do our best to keep it up.
The Needabeta team is also made up of friends who knew and trusted each other before starting this project, and we share the same goals. None of us were Anon to each other.
And, finally, Needabeta isn't, and doesn't want to be, the only option for people looking for a Beta! If you wish to build your own Beta-finding community using a sleeker tool, with perhaps different rules and goals (deleting older entries/asking people to renew their entries on a schedule, making it more mobile-friendly, etc), there's room for plenty of other tools :-)
FAQ - Sign up to be a volunteer!

this is more of just a brain dump before I actually go to bed, I’m currently using voice to text through the mobile app so sorry if I’m kind of incoherent at times and more formal than I usually am lol. But with me wanting to use Tumblr more for my actual work related shit, I am ridiculously more motivated and excited to actually answer 3-D modeling and rigging related questions, because well, though I am already really happy to answer questions pertaining to 3-D modeling on its own, I find that doing it on Twitter is is Super restrictive because either you’re limited to the character limit and being forced to break up massive amounts of information through threads, or I’m forced to answer the same question over and over and over again in DMs and thus get unintentionally annoyed and frustrated, I guess.
so needless to say I’m really excited to get to actually feel happy and excited about getting to truly info dump about a form of art that I am legitimately passionate about and get to actually get to help people and publicly document that information. One of the main things I stand for and try to show that I stand for is that I believe that information and resources regarding arts and technology like this should be as accessible and public as possible, so one of my main goals is to potentially make this blog a true hub for me to get to document my resources to the fullest extent that I can if that makes sense.
but anyways yeah. My autistic ass can’t wait to finally publicly document information on an actual social media platform where I can interact with other people.  I want to get a theme together soon, as well as getting an actual tagging system made to better organize my posts and the information that I want to share, but I do want to get across as much as I can that I implore anyone that has any questions for me or in general about 3-D vtubing or modeling or whatever to shoot me an ask and I’ll eventually get to it and have that information publicly documented so we could potentially help other people that want to get into it.

Kinda wild to see people hating on those who enjoy ‘x reader’ fics… I didn’t even realise it was an issue. Although, I’d like to think I’m on the ‘x reader’ friendly side of Tumblr (due to my blog obviously falling into that category).
Personally, it’s escapism for me. Totally get it if it isn’t your jam, that’s totally fine, and even some fics make me uncomfortable. But what I didn’t expect was for a shame and hatred to be sent the whole communities way, on a platform where it’s full of open-minded, shared interests creatives.
I’m not a tumblr user expert, so I can’t give tips on how to avoid ‘x readers’ etc, but I’ve seen many people offer advice on it, and I only learnt in the last year how to do ‘read more’ on mobile (where I post from). So instead of giving grief to those who maybe haven’t worked it out yet also, just send them a nice inbox message about how to do a ‘read more’ (which some kind soul did for me a year ago, with no malice, just helpfulness).
Im sorry if our writings upset you, or that you dislike them, but everyone on here is entitled to enjoy doing what they do (within reason obviously, as long as it isn’t hurting anyone).

so, i've been using my cane for a couple weeks now, and something i've noticed is that now that i use it most of the time i am worse at walking without it, and that terrifies me a little. so, okay, i don't use it at home because i don't like using it around my family, and i've noticed that i'm way more off balance than i used to be, i get tired quicker when i don't have it, and i generally feel more like shit than i used to (i use my cane for balance and leg weakness/general fatigue, for context) and is this normal?
like, i've been trying to equate it to my glasses, because they're both aids, and like, before i got glasses i thought i could see fine, but as soon as i got them and put them on the world snapped into crystal clarity, and when i took them off again the world was way blurrier than it had been before i put them on, but the glasses didn't make my vision /worse/ they just gave me actual clarity, and thus i could then tell how bad my vision was before, but i don't know if that's how it's supposed to work with canes, and i'm worried that all the shit my mother says about growing to rely on canes is right and now i'm just wondering if i've actually made a mistake by getting one even though it helps, because now i'm wondering if it's actually hurting me.
i'm sorry to dump this on you, but i have no one else to talk to about this stuff, any advice or anything you can offer is really appreciated.
hey, i’m sorry this is concerning you, i can totally understand that being scary! i’m not an expert by any means but i am halfway through a master’s in biomedical engineering with research experience in biomechanics of mobility aids (i study how we walk) and i’ve been using a cane for 4 1/2 years (and axillary crutches + hiking stick for about two years before then) so from both personal and professional experience i think it’s incredibly likely what you’re experiencing is like the glasses metaphor you described.
there can be changes in your body due to mobility aid usage, including deconditioning & muscle atrophy, but this subject is not as simple as doctors (and ableist parents lol) try to present it for several reasons:
ambulatory mobility aid usage should be compared to not walking, not to walking unaided. there is no world in which i am an able-bodied person and walk like one! it’s not gonna happen! what was gonna happen if i didn’t start using a cane was that my near-falls would become actual falls and i would walk way less because of that risk + because it hurt more.
if you do want to minimize muscle atrophy and deconditioning, it can be managed. there are lots of resources on low-impact exercises for folks who are mobility aid users, bedbound, etc. walking is not the only way to move your body!
when, how, and how much you move your body is a choice that should be yours to make. if any—or all!—exercise fucking hurts, it’s okay to say fuck this and not do it. you do not owe it to anyone to be as able-bodied as possible. if there are certain things you want or need to be able to do for the practicality of existing in an inaccessible world, that’s totally understandable! but that prioritization should be yours to choose. personally i prioritize what’s gonna minimize my pain, which brings me to my next point:
usually, bodily changes lead to mobility aid changes, not the other way around. me using a cane wasn’t a “slippery slope” to using a mobility scooter; my condition degenerated because i was receiving zero treatment. i can’t exercise my autoimmune disorder away. and sometimes using a less supportive aid makes you realize you would benefit more from another one (platform crutches because they offload more weight from your lower body! a rollator because you’ll always have a place to sit!) and that’s an adjustment, yes, but it’s also something that should be celebrated
full disclosure i haven’t actually done any comparative studies of using a cane versus walking unaided (all of my research compares between different mobility aids and in my opinion asking someone to walk unaided is inherently unethical, like, that’s torture) but based on the electromyography studies i have conducted, i’d be willing to bet that the difference in muscle activation between using a cane and walking unaided is very minimal. most changes are based on how much weight you can offload into the device, and with a cane, the upper threshold on that is comparatively super low! again, there’d be nothing wrong if it did cause a big difference in muscle usage, it’d just be something to be aware of, but i really don’t think that’s common.
some personal experience that may be reassuring for you:
across four years of mobility aid usage, my balance when walking unaided never deteriorated. it only started changing about six months ago when my overall coordination got way worse due to my conditions getting worse
i’ve worked as a researcher on a balance study funded by multiple large, reputable national organizations where the goal was to rehabilitate people’s balance through building muscle strength. we measured my own balance using the assessment technology and the primary investigator (ie my boss) was very clear that 1) yes, the range in which i could catch myself to prevent a fall was smaller than an able-bodied person; 2) this was because it hurts significantly worse to put more weight on one leg or the other rather than distributed equally; 3) the solution for fall prevention would be to continue using mobility aids that decreased pain and increased my base of support, not to try to exercise my way out of chronic pain, thereby increasing the pain i experience which would increase my fall risk
when i first got a cane, i was planning to only use it when i was going to a big event or something (i purchased it prior to my first Pride), but it made such a huge difference that after the first day practicing using it i never left home without it
are there certain risks to mobility aid use? sure. but there are also risks to trying to force your body to walk unaided when your body is telling you that’s dangerous. i’m not judging your decision either way—back when i was capable of doing so, i was certainly strategically closeted about being disabled and would keep my cane folded in a bag or in the car—but i absolutely do not think your cane is hurting you when all the factors are weighed. ultimately, as long as you’re making an informed decision, it’s the right one.
wishing you all the best with this journey, it’s definitely something i’ve wrestled with a lot 💕💕

Here it is. The final part of Sonic: The Battle for Angle Island part 2.
-Knuckles turns back to see Eggman, whom he thought he could trust, steal the Master Emerald. "WHAT ARE YOU DOING!!" He immediately rushes towards the alter; with Sonic and Tails not to far behind. He jumps on top of the place where the Master Emerald once was. "You out that back right now!!"
Dr Eggman simply laughs at him. "I'm sorry, Knuckles but it is time for me to end this partnership as you are no longer of use to me."
Knuckles is pissed. "I-I trusted you!! I thought you were my allie, my friend!!"
"Ha, that was first mistake you simpleton." Eggman replied. "This is why you don't really on anyone, except robots as they can get the job down without any objections."
"Your as scummy as ever Doctor" says Sonic.
"Well it seems I've overstayed my welcome. Farewell!!"
Knuckles grabs on to the emerald "NO!! I won't let you!!" Sonic and Tails begin attacking the Egg Mobile. Eggman puts up a barrier around the cockpit and then electrocutes Knuckles. The Echidna falls to the ground as Sonic and Tails stay to check on him. The floor collapses beneath them as they fall. Sonic lands on his feet, Tails his rear, and Knuckles his back. Knuckles then gets up and reflects on everything that has happened thus far. Finally he speaks up.
"Sonic... After everything I've done to I'm sorry to ask, but.... Will you help? If I don't get the Master Emerald back this whole island may sink into the Ocean." Sonic simply smiles and gives Knuckles a thumbs up.
"No problem, We'll get the emerald back, I promise." Knuckles proceeds to break a wall down so the trio can pass through. Then they hop onto one of the teleporters and get sent to the Sky Sanctuary. As they arrive Sonic watches as the Death Egg emerges from the clouds. As well as the launching of the Egg Robos. Knuckles jumps over a gap and activates a bridge for Sonic and Tails. They walk across, but before leaving they notice still remains on the switch. Panting due to his own exhaustion. As he struggles to get up Sonic stops him.
"Don't worry, we can take care of everything here." Knuckles nods. Sonic and Tails move on their merry way. Avoiding traps, bouncing on clouds, and destroying Badniks, the pair make it to the first boss fight. A weird Sonic looking robot appears with an Egg mobile, and the wrecking ball. "Well, this is familiar." The wrecking ball was no matched for Sonic then why would it be a match now? After moving on they once again encounter the strange mecha sonic in the Egg mobile. This time from Metropolis Zone's boss. The twin spin attack (insta shield) makes quick work of this one too.
"That was even easier than last time" states Tails. They move on, and finally encounter the same guy, but now he is out of the Egg mobile and is ready to fight for real. This is Mecha Sonic Mk. II.
"So, the Doctor has made another one." Sonic has had his fair share of Sonic clones in the past. Now have been a match for him however. This Mecha Sonic was a bit more challenging than before, but still went down. The platform beneath the pair collapse. They start to run up tower as that too begins to collapse, and once at the top they catch a ride on the Death Egg.
The Death Egg this time was alot different than before. It seem the Doctor gave it a make over. They make through to the first boss and take him down pretty easily. They made it to the second portion which had a gravity gimmick. Which was also what the boss was based around. Sonic and Tails, with the help of good all gravity, destroyed the 2nd boss, but this isn't over yet. Eggman begins to make a run for it and enters his Death Egg Robot Mk II (I don't know if that's it's name but I'll use it for now).
He tries to crush the duo with the robots fingers but it doesn't work as those get destroyed instead. He then emerges at the end of the platform and begins chasing them, firing fire of the nose. Sonic hits the nose, opening up where the Master Emerald was. Eggman had planned for this and charged up a laser. The duo narrowly dodged the laser after getting some hits in. After a few more hits, and close calls with the after life, the robot has been destroyed. "NOOOOOOO!!" Cries Eggman as he beings to flee with the Master Emerald. "This Emerald is mine! It's power is mine!! I won't give it back!! I won't let you have it!! Stay away!!" The Death Egg begins to collapse. Tails falls with the Death Egg.
"Tails!!" Cries Sonic.
"Go after, Eggman" Tails yells back "I'll catch up. Sonic knew this to be true and continued after the mad doctor, but now he was trapped in the vacuum of space, or so Eggman hoped. A bright flash appears as something blits through the asteroid belt. It was Hyper Sonic. Flashing in a rainbow of colors he collected rings to maintain his form while chasing down the Eggman. Sonic cought up to the Doctor who tried to use missiles to slow him down. Sonic maneuvered around the missiles and directed them at Eggman. The first line of his defense was destroyed.
"NOOO!! STAY AWAY!! STAY AWAY!!" Eggman panicked as he flew off with the Emerald in the hands of his robot as Sonic chases him down. "LEAVE ME ALONE!!" Eggman cried as he kept firing all he had to keep Hyper Sonic away. Alas, it was all on vain as the robot's limbs broke off and Sonic retrieved the Master Emerald. Sonic begins to fall to the Earth with the Master Emerald in tow. Tails, in the Tornado biplane, catches Sonic and the Master Emerald as they go back to return it to Knuckles. The emerald has been returned and the pair fly off. Knuckles looks to them, he never got a chance to say thanks. With the Master Emerald restored, Angle Island rose again into the sky above the clouds.
Meanwhile, the Eggman goes in hiding as he prepares a new plan to take over the world.
The End-
Nice one. And thanks for sharing.

thank you for adding the ID! your art is so cute i am completely obsessed <3
sidenote, the tumblr ALT function works for most people but has some accessibility issues (such as not showing the full text on mobile if the ID is really long, being inaccessible to some screenreaders, and being hard to read for some folks), so adding it directly to the text of the post is also a good idea! sorry if this comes across as nitpicky agdjsg i just try to spread this info whenever possible since it’s not very common knowledge. you’d THINK tumblr’s accessibility features would be more accessible but.. well, this is the hellsite after all. thanks again :3
Hello!
Thanks for your feedback it is very appreciated! and i'm taking notes of all that information, will be adding text description as much as possible from now on. it really sucks that the feature does not work properly, especially since it's an accessibility feature. i work in software and apps and that kind of things really annoy me :')
As for the art, i realised i did not tag the artist, it was an old picture i had saved on my phone and forgot about it. thankfully, i found the artist and just added their credit to my post.
(as a note: i avoid reposting art as much as possible, i usually only reblog. however, if anyone notice their art being on my blog and they want it to be removed i will gladly do so (and of course, refrain from doing it more, i know how it can hurt. i never do it with art found on this platform, of course, i only use reblog on tumblr) (i felt like i needed to explain that part, sorry)
anyway, thanks for leaving me an ask with all that info it's super useful to know and i hope to be able to share this with as much people as possible with this reply
(i also answer publicly for transparency regarding my reposting)
🤟

Hi Minnie, sorry to bother you but do you or any of your followers know if there's a way to stop seeing posts from a blog who you don't want to unfollow or block?😅
Sorry if it's a weird thing but these people, I kinda talk to them on another platform but I'm really fed up with their posts as of late(being overly critical of a certain someone) and I don't want that kind of negativity in my feed. I do sometimes think of completely cutting them off but I just don't wanna get into drama 😭
If I cannot do any of that I'm permanently moving to another new blog and will use my current one as an archive only 🥲 (tbh even reblogging posts feel strange now because these people are generally friendly but so bitter and negative about this certain meatball and I don't wanna call out their behavior and start drama blehghg)
Hi lovely! I'm sorry for only replying to this now, but you sent this right before the Big Evanstan Deluge, so it got a little snowed under!
But thanks for your message, and I'm sorry you're seeing so much negativity, I will never understand why people feel the need to be *like that*🙄 I totally get you wanting to protect yourself from that while not wanting to cause any unnecessary drama, so good for you for trying to take steps to curate your fandom experience.
And yeah, what you ask is absolutely possible! If you're on desktop, go to the little person icon in the top right corner and click it, then go to 'settings'. If you scroll down a bit, you'll see a section called "content you see", and there you can filter both post 'tags', and also 'post content'. If you put in the names of the blogs whose posts you don't want to see anymore in there and hit enter, then it'll filter those out on your dash, and you'll just see something like this:
Tumblr media
Only it'll say 'this post contains filtered post content'.
As far as I know, you can only filter tags on mobile, and not post content, but if anyone knows more than me, please let me know! But yeah, if you do it on desktop you should be able to.
I've got a LOT of tags filtered, and some post content too for things I really really really don't want to see but that people frequently don't tag for, or for blogs that I'd rather not see the posts of but can't unfollow for some reason. You do still see the posts on your dash as shown above, but you won't see the content of them. Please be aware that it's not 100% foolproof and sometimes something slips through because of tumblr being tumblr, but 98% of the time it works like a charm! Hope it works for you too, honey! <33

i heard some people don't see asks on mobiles, so maybe you won't see it. or maybe it's a bit stupid, but, uh, then you can just ignore it:
i am some internet stranger, i don't know what you are going through, what i do know is that you seem like a nice person with interests and humour and passion. your about section says you are working on a song and that's so cool (like, seriously!! creating art is awesome!). your pfp picture tells me you like dhmims. i like it, too, so i was excited when i saw your icon. (and your background is interesting! did you draw it? in any case, it's great)
i see the colours of you blog and they are soft and nice and calming. you probably like this colour? it's a cool colour
i also know that you're in pain and i can read it; it's there and it's real. i hope you can ask for help offline, too. i hope you have someone around who will listen. i don't know for sure, but i hope so
i also hope that i do not come off patronising, i was just feeling very.. human and wanted to try and say something. i think you're cool. i think you are strong, because hey, you are still here
Thank you for typing all that, and sorry to worry you- that happens every once in while, I'll feel really shitty for a couple days, and then try to fight off the urge to either s/h or kill myself and post like 17 vents on whatever platform I use at the time. I'm fine now though, I calmed down with some fanfics, lavender, tea, and fluffy socks. Sorry if I made anyone too worried, and you seem really nice & cool as well. Also it turns out that it's really uncommon for that thing to happen to someone my age (I'm a minor). Again, thank you, but I'm fine now. Oh also I gave up on the song, but I'm doing a musical!

I'll have to explore it with other fandoms, but the fact that my recent C/R fic has less than 10 notes compared to it's reaching 150 kudos on AO3 feels like proof that telling people to not interact with my fics at all unless they also reblog or leave a comment and that likes do NOTHING for fanfics on Tumblr means that they simply won't interact at all.
Negativity under the cut <3, also I know making this so people aren't able to reblog this is an oxymoron, but I don't care, cuz this is more of a rant than anything.
The excuse of a fanfic not fitting your blog themes is obsurd. If you can reblog pretty Fanart, you can reblog fanfic. Also, if fan created content truly doesn't fit your blog themes, then it's SO EASY to make a side blog where it does fit those themes and reblog those there. I have 5 side blogs. I access them easily even from mobile.
2. If you truly don't want people who follow you to know you read fanfic, it's SO EASY to just leave a 💜 as a comment of the fics and not worry about clogging your feed.
Idk, Tumblr has been very difficult to write for lately. Things do so POORLY here compared to AO3. Things that I think are failures here, gain hundreds of kudos on AO3. It almost doesn't seem worth it to write for Tumblr anymore. It feels like I'm writing to a wall and my 4 or 5 followers who actually do reblog and comment.
I know Tumblr isn't a platform for fanfics. This isn't about that. This is about the likes to reblog ratios. Seeing 15 OR MORE straight likes on something before someone actually reblogs it DOESNT FEEL GOOD
I'm sorry if this rant makes anyone feel bad, but I'm really not in the mood to debate it. If I ever stop writing for Tumblr completely, understand that this is why.

If any, what platform will the game be on?
That I'm not sure of yet!! It depends what ill be making it on of course but I'm hoping it to be mobile friendly!! Last time I made a game was a long time ago and I had a group of friends help me with where to put the game, so I think I might need to contact some old friends for help again! Unless anyone here is good at that stuff and would like to help out :))
Also I'm so sorry for posting about my game so much i just love the questions and im really hyped that people like the game so far. I promise tk content will be back! My blog isn't changing!!
