#this is a PSA I guess

[bragganhyl]

Once i manage to convince myself to back up my fics and art from my old blog, i’ll be setting up a sideblog where i’ll be reblogging them

Yes, that would mean, that i’ll go back and remove the read mores from my fics, however i also sorta kinda will not ever update that sideblog, unless it is to back up fics and art on this blog

But don’t worry, i do not actually want people to follow that sideblog, in fact i’ll put up a warning about it, exactly bc it’ll serve solely as an archive

“But why?” you might ask, it’s bc i want to keep the original posts with the timestamps on them bc reasons

#hablaty #this is a psa i guess #...those reason mainly being that i can track my... whatever over the years #and some other reasons but those are pretty irrational so i won't name them lol

No one is gonna see this but the post that’s going around that’s like “take pictures of your stove knobs before you go on vacation so you don’t worry about leaving the gas on” is fine and all, but one of the top reblogs says this is good advice for people with OCD and I just want to say that FUCK NO IT ISN’T. People with OCD do not need more reassurance-seeking behaviors that can easily become compulsions in their own right. If you’re recovering from OCD, one of the most important things is learning to tolerate uncertainty, and you sure aren’t doing that if you’re taking the stove picture out every time you have the thought that you maybe left the gas on.

Maybe you left the gas on, maybe you didn’t. You will cross that bridge when you come to it. There’s nothing you can do about it right now.

Please for the love of god don’t carry the picture of the stove around with you.

#nothing fires me up more than people applying neurotypical advice to people for whom it would cause more harm than good #this is a PSA I guess #my own OCD tendencies got really bad again recently so I’m primed to be mad about stuff like this

worst way to start my new year, thanks. i have a lot of things to say about these companies but i'm tired and just keeping it focused to the pin side of things for this one. do not ever buy pins from these companies, literally ALL of them are stolen from small artists like me. if you want to buy enamel pins, check out etsy, and artist's personal websites and shops! (though even Etsy has some bootleg pins that ship straight from china, so tread carefully…)

Every pin I've designed is, thus far, EXCLUSIVE to my etsy. if you find it anywhere else, it's been ripped off! and once these stupid bootlegs pop up, it's basically a never ending game of whack-a-mole trying to get them all taken down...

#psa #art theft #pin theft #aliexpress #shein #wish #temu #deltarune #the bootleg pin is just over an inch tall. do you know how BAD this design looks at that size?? i'd know. i tested it. #they didn't even use the black nickel of the pin for the black parts of the design. and the listing says copper for some reason. what. #some people never even get their designs taken down. its really sad #so i might just have to deal with bootleg queens out there forever :( i hope nobody confuses the ripoffs for the real thing.... #my pin is so much nicer! its almost two inches big and it has two posts on the back so it doesn't spin #because spinning pins are the bane of my existence #im out here working my ass off out of my bedroom in my parents place trying to make a living and here come these pricks #i watermarked all my listing photos exactly so they Couldn't steal my fucking pictures so at least there's that #my new years is just full of bad luck so far i hope this isn't a bad omen #if my registration isn't accepted by the aliexpress copyright department I'm SOL and this will just. stay up i guess #i'm sad #bootleggers kys

one of my favourite things about AO3 tags is their dedication to canon accuracy, even when that means it devolves into complete mayhem like

Percy was not named with a fan following in mind, this was clearly a running gag but it's his name so they have to use all of it

#adding the 'percy' in there is just adding insult to injury tho #i'm sorry this is so funny to look at #and yes i do think the joke is hilarious actually. aristocracy names are the funniest thing in the world #ao3 #(on that note tho dear anglophones please stop capitalising the 'von' in titles) #(taliesin gets a pass because he couldn't have known how much this would blow up it was a home game but. psa i guess) #(today seems to be my 'be pissy about ways to get (pseudo-) german names wrong' day idk) #vox machina #critical role #percival de rolo #(the joke is funny but i will not bother i'm sorry)

one of my courses this semester decided to be absolutely inhumane and my friend and I are at a loss for words on how to get through this. on top of it all, it is critical for my health issues that I won't get stressed out but this is stressing me out to the max... so that's... great.

In case I suddenly disappear and don't reply to messages - you now know why😭

So, Tumblr is doing another new thing, and you may want to make your Likes private.

On my dash, I've started seeing posts with a header that says "Liked by [username of someone I follow]."

So far via this new feature, I have learned that various people I follow are fans of spicy queer photography, rpf, and some controversial opinions. Which is hardly surprising on tumblr dot com, but I haven't seen some of those people reblog such content in the past, so I didn't know that about them previously. (All these folks have their Likes publicly available, so I could in theory have browsed the posts they liked before. But to me, there's a difference between having Likes visible when people go looking for them vs. having them publicized on followers' dashes.)

If you don't like the idea of your liked posts showing up on followers' dashboards with your name at the top, you can change your settings so your Likes are private.

On mobile, open up your settings and click "Pages:"

Then make sure that sharing is turned off for Likes:

You can also send feedback to Tumblr.

#psa #tumblr #tumblr likes #privacy #i think many of my followers have their dashboard curateds to not include such posts #so I'm guessing many of y'all won't have seen these #op #i'm almost certainly going to mute notifications on this post so send me an ask or DM if you want my attention #my likes have been private for ages and I'm so glad that's an option #50 #100 #500 #1K

i think in general we have a tendency to dismiss early book 1 atla episodes (with a few key exceptions) because it’s clear that the show was still kind of getting its bearings and generally didn’t hit its full stride until book 2. but i think “imprisoned” in particular is really underrated as an episode, and actually does for katara what “the warriors of kyoshi” does for sokka. what i mean by that is, both episodes showcase these characters’ unique capacity for excellence: in sokka’s case, “the warriors of kyoshi” serves as our first real introduction to his scientific approach to synthesizing new information and adjusting his worldview accordingly, his capacity for growth, humility, and open-mindedness; and in katara’s case, “imprisoned” is our first demonstration of katara’s indomitable revolutionary spirit as she fights for justice and to liberate all oppressed peoples wherever she goes, her capacity to inspire others coupled with her righteous anger and unyielding belief in doing what’s right. these are traits that define each character, respectively, and they are first introduced to us through these early episodes. each episode also starts with them making a mistake (sokka misogynistically belittles the kyoshi warriors, katara naively misjudges a situation that results in haru’s arrest) that leads them to then demonstrate their unique ability to rectify it. sokka not only apologizes to the kyoshi warriors, but is then trained by suki in a way that positions him as her equal. katara not only risks her own safety to find haru, but also liberates the entire prison rig in the process.

haru is also positioned as a love interest who complements katara perfectly, much in the same way that suki is to sokka. of course, haru is not katara’s “primary” love interest in the way suki is sokka’s, but they’re both established through very similar frames, and if not for katara’s other, more prominent love interest also being the literal titular character and thus overshadowing haru (the one (mustache-less) episode wonder), i think that people would realize that katara and haru are actually pretty perfect together. (also i need to believe that they kissed offscreen in this episode. jet cannot have been katara’s first kiss that’s just tragic.) i used to be someone who dismissed haru as some boring background mustache boy, and never really paid much attention to this episode because it struggles with that sort of early book 1 forgettability (you all know what i mean), but haru is actually a really well-constructed love interest for katara, and katara just really shines in this episode in general. i mean, she literally infiltrates a labor camp, gives a beautiful, passionate speech about the necessity of resistance, supplies them with weapons, and helps them to drown their captors. so i just think that we should all have more appreciation for “imprisoned.” it’s not remotely the best episode of atla, but if you love katara (and who doesn’t), then you should really consider revisiting it.

#this has been my kataru propaganda psa #hot takes #katara #sokka #haru #haruxkatara #analysis #i guess??? #but yeah. they’re so good #and katara just fucking rules. like i know my url literally says it all but like. SHE DID THAT. TRULY. #and i simply ignore the mustache i do not see it #amen <3

remember that this is always a slow time for the rpc. as we get deeper into the holiday season, remember that people are finishing classes and taking big tests. they're slammed at work or taking on extra jobs to pay the bills. people are stressed about money or family, figuring out flights or trips, dreading the colder weather, struggling to put food on the table. some people are experiencing more dark outside than light, which might mess their schedule up a bit. some deal with seasonal depression during these months.

when your dash is slower and quieter this time of year, and when less people are liking your posts or sending memes, it doesn't mean the community is dying or we're all headed for the end times. i understand that less interactions or less support might be discouraging, especially when some of us are already dealing with the doom and gloom of darker, colder months and the stress of the holiday season... but please don't turn around and scold people for their inactivity or their lack of enthusiasm. don't get fatalistic about the fate of this community and declare it prematurely dead. this period of time always happens every year. now is not the time for unfair expectations. now is the time for kindness, generosity, understanding, encouragement, and love. now is the time for "take your time with replies," and "talk to me if you need anything. i'm here for you."

#rpc advice #rpc psa #rpc help #rpc #roleplay help #roleplay advice #rp advice #rp help #rp psa #roleplay psa #this always happens every year lol #people go 'the dash is so slow' #which is a factual observation #and turn it into 'i guess our community is about to die!!!!!!!!' #not sure why that has to correlate or lead to that jump in logic but oh well

the stone marten sounds like a completely fictional problem

like when other hemerophiles become pests, the damage they do is completely understandable. what does a wild animal want? food, shelter, a safe place to raise its young. simple, right? a raccoon moves into your attic because it's dry and warm, and he leaves feces and remains of prey because he's a raccoon and doesn't know that's not appropriate roommate behavior. obviously blackbirds steal your cherries and voles eat your veggies! they're hungry little guys! you would do this too if you were a blackbird or a vole.

the stone marten, though, will wreck your car. for no apparent reason. he's not living there and he doesn't want to eat the rubber from your brake line. he just fucks up your engine for the lolz. and he's sneaky about it, too! the damage will often not become apparent until it's catastrophic. until very suddenly your converter is fucked, your transmission hands in notice, or your brakes fail in the middle of a busy intersection.

somehow, over millions of years, nature evolved this animal who's body size, behaviour, and territorial aggression all work together in the precise way that makes him very effective at sabotaging one of the biggest pollutants in modern society.

it's so normalized we never stop to think how ridiculous it is to have your car destroyed by a cute little mustelid who doesn't understand mechanics and just wants to tell his rival to get fucked. sounds like something a mediocre author would put in an allegory about environmentalism, and get marked in red by the editor with the note A little on the nose, don't you think.

this guy's an ecoterrorist. he does almost 100 million € damage each year in germany alone.

#guess who had to have their car towed because SOMEONE ate through the fuel line #and god knows what else #now that i think about it i never see psa's about martens i guess yall dont have them in the usa? or your mustelids dont do this #if you never heard of people having this problem please tell me how made up it sounds for you

Reminder that if you write or draw and don't have a lot of followers, you are still valid and loved in the community! Even if you don't get a lot of interaction, you are still wanted! There will always be at least one person who will look at what you created and will go, "Oh they wrote/drew that just for me." And they will cherish it forever.

Your creations are worth sharing. I may not know you but I love you, and I love what you create. Keep going.

#psa #ok to rb #i needed some encouragement i guess i have to give it to myself lmfao #i love you #content creation

i'm gonna get shocked by a cattle prod for saying this but glenn's post-supermax character arc, as a prison hater, is so huge to me

i don't know if freddie planned it but the way glenn struggles to re-integrate, adopting a rat that reminds him of his time is solitary confinement, seriously considering not going back home cause he doesn't know if he'll have a life there, getting prickly and aggressive and insecure, the fucking notebook trying to determine if he's good, if he even deserves to be in people's lives anymore-

like, rehabilitation already sucks in real life, but after having your entire life literally ripped from under you, i can see why glenn would think this is as good as its gonna get

#psa i guess: #if ur loved one is in prison-pls talk to them if u can #dungeons and daddies #dndads #dnddads #glenn close dndads
