I cannot reblog my last socionics post for 1418 but if i may be vain... i went off in it.

#i missed doing commentaries abt things i love and feel strongly abt #its a good way to like. keep me sane abt writing. #its nice to talk abt what you liked and your flaws and intentions and pick it apart i literally have learned #so many things from my writer friends in prev fandoms who wrote fic notes unprompted. just out of pure interest n excitement #i turned off reblogs on the post bc i dont want it ever getting out of this blog lol... #do not perceive me perceiving these men #i mean no one will reblog that post but still #it is not correct but i am incorrect in a way that works

[hellsite-hall-of-fame]

Hi! I'm the anon who originally asked you to tag your asks, and I just want to say you shouldn't have to apologize to those mean anons. This is your blog and you can post whatever you want. I'm really grateful that you were kind enough to tag your asks so that they can be filtered, but if those anon can't appreciate you going out of your way to do that, they should just unfollow you and find another way to see heritage posts. No one should be berated for using a feature their blog came with. Answer as many asks as you want and ignore those hateful anons. You're awesome for running this blog and you should be able to interact with your followers, especially if they want to interact with you.

this is such an articulately worded ask and I appreciate it, thank you😭

and like the prev anon wasn’t really mean, but I just normally am able to come up with a better and more eloquent or funny response to those kinds of asks but I just. don’t. have. the. energy rn lol

no but I appreciate what you said, especially coming from you! and yeah I did legitimately spend hours tagging and mass editing all of my posts to make a cohesive tagging system, so I thought I solved the problem lol but alas

#also i’ve never thought of answering asks as ‘using a feature your blog came with’ but that’s actually lovely perspective and I like that ty #but really y’all I have over 1.7k unanswered asks on this blog😭 #like that’s accumulated over 4 years but still!!! #and I want to answer them all and feel so bad that I don’t but I just. can’t. bc yeah #damned if i do damned if i don't #or more accurately and from a kaitlin butts song- damned if I do -bored if I don’t #anyways #ask #the hellsite answers #anonymous #hellsite hall of fame curator’s bullshit #the curators ask addiction #also it’s possible I don’t know what anon hate is #if someone said something actually mean to me i’d probably think it was a joke sooo idk

[saintqueer]

I'm sorry you got harassed again just from a simple post with a (imo pretty valid) opinion. If that person is the same that answered your post by reblogging and repplying on their blog with unnecessary hate (apparently queer but a solo louie) then it's the one I just blocked. I love to currate my experience in this fandom. Anyway I just wanted to say, I used to love your posts in this fandom! I lost track of your blog and thought you'd disappeard. I'm glad to see you're still on Tumblr and enjoying other fandoms. I'm well aware of how toxic this fandom can get (between the hets, the solos often queer themselves but hating on queer larries and more, to many groups to count tbh, louis' attitude on social media ect), especially when you dare to voice an opinion, which I'm mostly don't lol. I'm staying for the art, the fics, the great memes and ofc the music and the people. You're "y'all" made me think 'I Hope she still got good times and friends out if it. I made some great friends in the larries bunch myself. Anyway sorry for the rant, I lost track of what was my point here. Just was happy to see you pop on my dash through a mutual and wanted to say so I guess?? So once again thank you for the fun times I had reading your posts back in the days; have a great time out here, enjoying your favs fandoms, you do you! Sending love xx

so i was trying to avoid posting any anons regarding prev fandom discourse but i opened this one and read it through and it was just so amazing i had to respond, not just in tags 🥹🥹

of course, it's lovely to hear that you liked my posts on fandom back in the day etc but what really got me was when you wanted to make sure i still got good times and friends out of it, that nearly made me cry

because YEAH I FUCKING DID 🥺😩🥺🥹🥲

blue ( @wastelandbabyblue ) is literally one of the coolest people i've ever known while also being one of the kindest and funniest. id literally kill to meet her one day in person. i still keep up with brenda and several others i met in her og discord, some of which are the only remaining 1d fandom blogs i still follow here - they are so kind and funny and i still talk to them occasionally in a fandom discord i stayed in because i didn't want to lose touch with them.

and 🥹🥹🥹

i met 8 of who i would consider my closest friends in the whole world through fandom. through the most insane wild and unruly fandom discord drama, i literally located my found family: wedo, nino, iza, katja, olia, hanis, chloe, and su

we talk everyday still even though we live all over the world and we talk about nearly everything except fandom nowadays and they've helped me survive living day to day through some of the worst moments of my life. i don't know what i'd do if i didn't have them in my life

last night, i had a bit of a shame spiral thinking about all the time energy money i devoted to the 1d fandom. i felt embarrassed for being so loud about something that ended in so much disappointment. it wasn't fun and i know it was probably triggered by being involved in some discussions i hadn't been in so long

so when i opened this ask, anon, it reminded me so much that whatever was lost from that time, so much more was gained. the embarrassment of remembering dancing around like a fool with a rainbow flag for someone who couldn't even say something as simple as "look at all those colors" pales in comparison to the lifelong friendship i gained with these 8 beautiful women all across the globe

nothing will ever compare to the people i met and the way they feel closer to family than any of my blood ever felt

i'm glad that you found so much goodness as well and thank you for reminding me that it was all worth it for what i got

[a3outfitstournament]

happy 1 year birthday to a3outfitstournament <3

well, more or less lol i forgot the actual date i created this blog and i'm too lazy to check BUT i'm 99% sure i started this tourney in april 2023, and look! i'm still here! frankly i probably should've started the tournament the way i'm doing it now (aka slay vs nay for every outfit for every character, then narrowing down to One Best Outfit for each chara) BUT we learn and get new epiphanies every day

ANYWAY just wanna say a big thank you to everyone who's voted on the polls, left funny stuff in the tags, and just in general kept up with this tournament 🩷 tbh i wasn't sure how to celebrate 1 year on this blog?? one of my ideas was to have you guys submit your opinions about the fashion in a3 (from overall thoughts to thoughts on specific outfits), and i'll add an AGREE or DISAGREE poll below! tho if you just wanna scream about your fave outfits without the AGREE OR DISAGREE poll just say so, no judgement ^v^ so like, you can do that if you want <3

another thing you can do is vote on the poll below to determine spring troupe's WORST OUTFIT FROM THE PREV ROUND OF POLLS 🍅🍅

please refer to this post for details on how the worst outfits were determined, but basically they were fan-voted so yeaahh just wanna make that super clear <3

#a3! outfits tournament #a3! act addict actors #a3! #a3! polls #sakuya sakuma #itaru chigasaki #a3 citron #tsuzuru minagi #chikage utsuki #masumi usui #harugumi #spring troupe #i hope this makes sense im so eepypilled rn

[cupcraft]

Things tumblr should do instead of whatever their current plans are (NOTE: IN MY OPINION)

1: other interesting ways to monetize the site along the same lines as the merch/ad free/random things to add to your blog/etc. I don't mind optional monetization that is helpful for it to run and neutral on how it's used.

2: fix post searching and tag searching. I shouldn't have to lose a post especially if I've tagged it properly because it just won't search.

3: better reporting system that allows for more comprehensive reporting and better deals with bots/scams/bigotry/and harassment. I also shouldn't have to BE the person being harassed to report harassment that is public and visible. And I shouldn't have to report harassment to get an email from tumblr that's just like "oh well even though this person has been a bigot/harassed people 10000000 times we just deleted the post I suggest you block them".

4: Get rid of tumblr live or at the very least I don't want to see it move it somewhere else. Opt in policy for it to be on the dash.

5: make the explore page better. Idk specifically what.

6: make algorithmic things opt in. I want to remove the for you page but I'm okay if others choose to have it there, for example.

7: make the messaging system easier to use and look through. Add ways to search dms better. I don't want to scroll through 2 years worth of messages only for it to glitch and explode.

8: please allow me to see the prev reblog. Move the hit box back on the reblog from name.

9: better policy on ppl who have multiple urls. Instead of just getting rid of their use of the main blog forever and ever that is.

9: do more interactive community content that encourages ppl to participate In tumblr (opt in of course). Like help artists for inktober, find ways to promote rbs over likes, do challenges and events, etc! Promote fandom content and interaction. Bolster the community that is already here.

And I can't think of other stuff rn feel free to add on lol !

[roaringup]

Compelled to note it was my chest surgery anniversary yesterday: 13 years. I had a conversation about it and said that my chest is a feature of my body I like now and meant it, which is nice to uncover as a truth. I wish I didn’t have nerve damage, but the experience of just living out my life on earth with this shape of body is so much better, and also my tattoo is so good and I’m so glad to have found a solution for the way I felt about my scars.

Things from yesterday:

was fed brunch

walk in the woods

small amount of ragdoll kitty time

clothespins

popovers with Brie

salad: wasabi miso dressing (first one on google, lol), baby spinach, thinly sliced cabbage, carrot matchsticks, cilantro, peanuts, roasted sesame seeds

Things today:

garland of crystals (see prev post on this blog if you missed that!)

ratatouille

[nientedal]

I just saw ANOTHER post lamenting this change, so I'm just gonna say "fuck it" and make a how to do the thing post, and if I'm misunderstanding the outrage... lol, this is tumblr, I'm sure someone will tell me.

Currently, if you want to go to a post in the middle of a reblog thread, you have to click the empty space in what I call the reblog header. The reblog header is the space that holds a user's name and reblog details, and on desktop, it turns a different color when you move your cursor over it. It's this space:

It doesn't change colors on mobile, obviously, because no cursor, but I think tapping is a little more intuitive on mobile anyway and afaik this particular thing has been this way here for a while now...? Whatever. Anyway, that's how you get to a mid-thread reblog!

(I actually do kinda like this new setup. It's not perfect, it can be annoying if someone's URL is long or if I accidentally click "Follow" instead of the header space. But overall, the space to click into a prior reblog is bigger now and I like that. I don't think I'll have to worry as much about mouse precision or drowsy coordination issues, which is nice. Maybe I'll be able to use the desktop version more.)

However, this means that in order to see "prev tags," you apparently have to click into the notes view and scroll until you find them. That's annoying for those who want to see them, and I can't blame anyone for being irritated. If you're new here you may be surprised to learn "prev tags" is fairly recent, so my recommendation (if you're looking for an alternative) is to put the actual tags from the user you're reblogging from, instead. This was normal prior to the "prev tags" trend if you wanted to share tags without screenshotting them, and it seems like tumblr has made it super easy now. The mobile app now automatically suggests the previous tags, and on desktop, they show up in a dropdown when you click to tag your post. Personally, I like to put "<-borrowing your tags bc funny" or "<-stole your tags for truth" or something right after, so I don't feel like I'm taking credit for someone else's phrasing. But either way, it's handy for your followers to be able to read the tags you liked without having to click to a different blog.

I'm hoping this particular change will be seen as useful after the rocky adjustment period is over.

All this being said, I personally like these particular changes, but I wish Tumblr would not roll out changes as rapidly as they seem to be recently. Either change everything at the same time or give it a rest, holy shlamoly! I stopped using Facebook because it seemed like every time I opened it, something was different, and it became jarring and uncomfortable to try to use. I'm starting to have a similar feeling about tumblr, and I don't like it.

#i suspect the prev tags trend is the reason for this change tbh #a tagging system is an organizational system and 'prev tags' is literal junk for organization purposes #even in conversational or informal context #they made copying tags super convenient? and using prev tags obnoxiously INconvenient? #like......i dunno. do the math. 🤷 #doesn't mean you gotta be happy about it of course; I'm just saying. i bet that's why #honestly I'm just looking forward to not having to click through to a blog i don't care about just to see what the prev tags were #usually i don't even bother but occasionally someone will talk about the previous tags in THEIR tags #and i wanna know context. so. looking forward to that maybe not being a thing #anyways #dal is a text post #tumblr update #also i don't have hand tremors or anything like that but when I'm tired oh my god #precision is my enemy lol #really looking forward to just. header click! yay! #that's gonna be so nice on desktop omg #but uh. as long as I'm yelling in the tags? prev tags can die in a fire and i will cheerfully roast marshmallows over its flickering corpse #it's a mildly annoying trend at worst but it does not belong with the way this website works #just tumblr things #new user

[thedvilsinthedetails]

not making any promises at all but basically I used to sing a lot and I used to really love it but I lost confidence and sort of have been trying to get back into it now more recently (idk if ppl remember that little snippet of me singing mama who bore me that I posted a while back) and like…I might (if I do start covering songs more often and recording it) post some of my singing to my blog

would u guys like…mind that? If I did that

for the record I am not a songwriter nothing I post will be original songs and it is just for fun and also I might not do it but i thought since I wanna get back into singing (I fell out of love with it for ages but I’m kind of re-finding my love for it but my voice is pretty rusty from neglect and also yk I’m not very confident in it as I haven’t done it properly for ages)

also like…I currently don’t have a singing teacher (ik I shld start lessons again but my prev singing teacher was rlly bad, really mean and was the reason I lost all my confidence so I’m not that keen to restart lessons quite yet. Also she gave me like rlly bad advice like she was a bad teacher and some of the stuff she made me do actively harmed my voice so) so constructive criticism is welcome and if anyone can tell me what tf my voice type is that would be appreciated (I’ve literally gotten it all, most ppl call me a mezzo and call it a day but I’ve been told I’m an alto b4 multiple times and one time someone said I was a soprano which I’m defo sure is not true bc I cannot sing high for the life of me so yeah but still)

Not that I’m doing any of this now lol but like at some point I might post singing this is like a warning (not a warning but like for want of a better word haha)

Anyway I better stop procrastinating my hw lol byeeee

(EDIT: I just checked and the snippet of mama who bore me from spring awakening has like completely disappeared lol I didn’t delete it it’s just gone)

Hi hi hi! I'm Frye! Found this app on my phone and realized I'd never seen it before, so now I'm here! Being hacked is for the weak - I try EVERY app I see! You might know me as the Onaga clan's best eel charmer, you might know me from my kickass bandit crew, but you probably know me from my band! Y'know, Deep Cut? We run the Anarchy Splatcast back home! Look, here, that's us! I'm the one on the right, but you could probably could tell since I'm the coolest-looking by a mile!

For some weird reason, nobody around here recognizes us! And that's not even the weirdest part - they're human! Like from the museums! And, AND! Y'know Pokémon? The ones from those super-old games? They're just... around! Everywhere! Wherever "here" even is!

See, I, uhh... Well, I'm not sure eactly what happened. I think I fell through some sort of portal in The Crater. And now I'm in... Unova, I think it's spelled? In this janky city called Nimbasa Town or whatever. And my eels look all weird! Gugh, I miss Shiver and Big Man. Oh, OH! The worst part is - they're not even here!

//ooc under the cut!

hi!!! this is doof (@doofisconfused) making another blog more than i probably need lol. i'm the person behind @pokemoncenterofficial, @curses-and-curiosities, @marjorie-ann-miller-1949, @right-on-schedule, and now this! saw my friend ace was making a pearl blog (@mc-pokeprincess) and was like "hey can i get in on this?" and now we're here!!!! big into splatoon and i love frye. excited to try this out!

anyone (fallers, hybrids, sentient mon, etc) can interact, but keep it SFW - i'm a minor! m!as are on when i feel like it (send em in and ill post em uh. probably much later than you sent em) and pelipper and musharna mail are always on!

this blog is current frye, with the live concerts as canon (headcanoning them as just. faraway inkling cities we don't see a lot of in the games. i use "//" and the tags #ooc and #ooc reblog for ooc stuff, and #< prev tags to respond to tags on a post. feel free to dm me here or on discord (@doofisconfused there too) for roleplaying stuff or just to say hi!

[gold-rhine]

Don’t worry, you have multiple Worm anons. What Vision would you give Taylor? Cryo would make sense, for similar reasons you gave for Rachel (troubled teen ostracized from society), but I could also see Anemo—tends to avoid her interpersonal problems, the claustrophobia/desperate need to escape of the locker incident, loss of close relationships (her mom through death, and her friend through betrayal), etc. Also, I feel like Anemo just works better with her powers than Cryo; plenty of bugs can fly, but just about every bug hates the cold.

And if you’re willing, maybe elaborate on Electro!Lisa (which you mentioned in the Cryo!Rachel post)?

how do i have multiple worm followers on my gebshin sideblog, when i dont have any on my main blog where i actually reblog worm sometimes lol

anyway. taylor is not anemo. shes like. the opposite of anemo. anemo is about reeavaluating your prev understanding of the world that was taken from u and accepting the loss, its about learning to let go and begin again, learning to go with the flow in new circumstances. taylor never let go of anything ever lol, she never met a situation she could not escalate by trying to solve it even if its not her fucking business. she's a definition of hyper-controlling freak lol. she's a queen administrator for fucks sake. like the only time you could say anemo even near her is at the end of the book where contessa asks her if it was worth it and she says no.

also, you should not get caught in subjects of powers. bugs is just aethetics, and both powers and vision bank much more on person's perceptions than on actual physicality. no one cares what bugs like. like, hu tao's symbol is plum's bloom, you could be like oh flowers hate fire! she can't be pyro! but its just aethetics, its about meaning to hu tao, not what actual plum flowers are like. with taylor, bugs are just infused witrh element and no one gives a fuck what they like. did bugs like biting lung's dick? natural properties don't matter

now about taylor's actual element... like i hope we're operating on the same understanding that powers manifest due to trauma and are ironic-tilted coping mechanisms? like im not actually in worm fandom on tumblr so idk if its a common understanding or not, but imma proceed like it is. visions are v similar to this, but not limited to trauma, they are about more general perception of the world, but obv if trauma is present, it will affect perception, and so, a vision, a lot.

so, what was taylor's trauma that manifested her specific powers? its not just bullying. its being watched, feeling like she's being watched at all times, like she can't have a safe space, they find her in the toilets, anywhere, etc, can't trust or count on other people. and so she gets power that lets HER watch everyone, lets HER be omnipresent, bc she thinks thats the only way to counter-act, and ultimately, lets her take direct control of other ppl bc she thinks she can't trust them to cooperate.

so like yeah. cryo kinda fits. but like. cryo manipulators are not blunt, you know what i mean? cryo like kaeya, rizzley, charlotte to the extent use social games and understanding of others to control them. taylor just brute forces it bc everyone's afraid of her.

so like. hear me out. raiden shogun. the theme of omnipresent watch over ppl. very strong warrior, but poor social skills\understanding of ppl. stubborn. thinks she knows best than everyone else despite not even knowing them. control of ppl for their own good. loss of close relationships, very solipsist. beating her head against the wall until the wall cracks (raiden fought her puppet for 500 years, taylor's... everything). raiden takes direct control of her puppet like taylor takes control of ppl. there's another toxic electro girlboss whose trying to manipulate her bc she thinks she's saving her (lisa\yae)

conclusion: taylor could reactivate raiden's vision

I think the prev anon thinks you're a he/him butch lesbian rather than someone who identifies as closer to a man, and that's why the anon is surprised at your post about your surprise when wlw and men dni blogs follow you.

From a fellow swishy guy

Hahaha its funny actually bc like many transmascs I really did think I was a lesbian for a bit there (wants to cut hair short? wear cargo shorts? must be!!) and oh my goodness it was not a good fit and boy did those relationships not work out well LOL.

I'm just a queer little man that isn't all too fussed with being particularly masculine.

[dennistakesamentalhealthday]

hi welcome to my silly sunny blog

jasper, 23, he/him

prev urls: brainfogdennis, sparkleondennisreynolds, transmascden

european (derogatory)

transgender faggot + autism swag

dennis takes a mental health day defender

minors don't follow please + don't interact with my nsfw posts (if a sfw post of mine comes up on your dash then idc, but for the blog itself there is 18+ content here). this is a new thing so i'm currently going through my following list to unfollow minors

also terfs, fascists, bigots etc are not welcome here and if i think you fall into that category or just think you're weird i will simply block.

sunny is a massive hyperfixation for me and this blog is my outlet for that. i am very critical of sunny but bc of this i don't think this blog is always the most appropriate place to express all of that. there will be sunny criticism stuff sometimes because sometimes things have to be said but otherwise this is just an autism outlet place

if im very active it's because i'm a) hyperfixated on this show and b) unemployed

if i'm not active it's because i hyperfixated so hard i got tired of it. i'll be back.

i'm a macdennis truther because it's fun lol. i already see it as canon and like to have fun and get silly with what they may do with them next. also a lover of charmac charden and deestress. peace and love on planet earth

sometimes i treat sunny like a sandbox where i just do what i like even if it is wildly detached from the show

i'm weird and autistic about dennis reynolds. i think he's a pathetic lowlife and i'm fascinated by it

my s16 tag is #sunny sweet 16 but i'm bad at using it

#pinned post #new one because i deleted the old one?*%$%(%????

[whosthatdccharacter]

Heyo! We've done six of these so far and it's been fun running this little game for yall. I hope its entertaining for you!

Now that we've got some under our belts I wanted to open up for feedback on a few different points. Im going to go over how ive done stuff so far, so if you have any thoughts on aspects of it you can chime in.

Putting the rest under the cut since it's kind of long.

1. Timing

So far I've tried to post new ones at sort of random times in the day so it doesn't give any one a consistent advantage. Im US Eastern and posts might go up anytime between 8am and 2am. I might even use the queue to schedule round the clock.

Another timing thing is that when someone guesses right, I give at least a few hours more before posting the reveal. It's just to give people a little more time to play, even if someone gets the answer right away. That's not to say you cant play after the reveal posts go up, but if youre anything like me, as soon as the ability to see the answer is available im clicking that link lol.

And since the reveal post tags the winner, I wait at least a few more hours for the next silhouette post so the prev winner doesnt have the advantage of being notified of the next one.

So a question here is should I wait longer or shorter on any of these areas? Do you like that its only one unrevealed at a time?

2. Difficulty level

This has been the hardest because it's a learning curve to find what's easy, what's hard, and why. There are SO many characters and runs, so it's hard to know if something I thought was memorable was even a blip on other people's radars. So ive tried to do a mix of difficulties.

Easier ones mean more people have the satisfaction of guessing and maybe getting it right, but if it's too easy then it might feel like these are puzzles for babies.

Harder ones mean a challenge and a lot of satisfaction if you figure it out or know that it's some niche thing. But if it's too hard then nobody gets it and it can feel kind of bullshit.

So what im wondering here is, do you feel like these have been too easy or too hard? Do you like it being a mix?

3. Character and image selection

If I put up a straightforward silhouette of Etrigan, everyone's going to get it and there's no challenge. On the flip side if i did a silhoutte or jason blood standing in a contextless room its like that could be literally any random man, so itd lead to random guesses. So ive been trying to find the sweet spot of the silhouette being somewhat familiar but not completely unique, and the rest of the image with some stuff going on. I think that's been going well but it does mean it relies on me and my ability to make a good little puzzle of it. So i hope I've been doing an alright job in that area.

Choosing from particular runs is interesting. I usually think of a character first then go find something they were in. Im finding the stories with other characters and team ups are good options to provide that extra context. But then the tricky part is that i have to be at least somewhat aware of whats popular and whats not. I dont want to use a panel from a run nobody read (unless its really good), and I also dont want to do one so infamous that everyone knows it like the back of their hand. So as with choosing particular images, I hope my choice of titles I'm sourcing these from has been fair.

4. How to guess

I went with tags so it encourages people to reblog and hopefully spread awareness of the blog. I think its also the easiest way people are inclined to interact per post. We couldve done asks but sometimes those get dropped by tumblr, and all the reveal posts would be answers to asks instead of standalone posts.

I like the idea that even for old ones people can still play and have fun with guessing on their own. Not sure if theres a clever way to encourage that.

And i hope the leaderboard is fun. Just a small incentive to participate. Its like saying nice job, thank you for playing.

5. Hints

As mentioned previously, if over a day goes by and nobodys got it ill post a hint. I've only done one hint so far and i was really not sure how subtle or overt i should be. Idk if anyone has thoughts about it?

So that's it. That's the process behind things and kind of where my mind is on it. I want it to be fun and chill, so if you ever have feedback about something you can always send an ask. It can be about the topics here or really at anytime about anything.

Thanks for playing everyone! Keep it up!

In the 'what's new' tab, Staff clarified that if you click the HEADER of the post (on web version), you will go direct to the previous person's post. clicking the url takes you to the blog but the little rectangle will get you back to the prev reblog itself. really saved me some stressing I was like fuck fuck the prev tags fad is OVER

ah, thank you so much for letting me know!! wow I really should have done some more troubleshooting before making that post lol

edit: that still doesn't seem to be working for me. I can get to the person who put it on my dash, but if I try to go to the person they reblogged it from, it still just goes to their blog, not the post.
