Guess who found out she was allergic to a new medication! you get 3 guesses and the first two don’t count.
So there’s this really good bushmedicine series on AO3 by @mickmundy​ and I made a keychain for it.Â
The whole series is pretty full of symbolism, but I chose a few things from the series that wouldn’t be too hard to simplify down into a keychain. On one side is an apricot and a pomegranate. On the other side is a dove and crocodile.Â
(All four look slightly janky, but I also don’t have much experience making keychain sized patterns. It’s hard making a recognizable looking image that also fits within a space 11 squares wide.)Â
I also added a couple metal charms, one a feather and the other an anatomically correct heart. I am currently very tired, so I’ll probably wait and explain my reasonings for my choices later.Â
Please go read the series, it’s very good: https://archiveofourown.org/series/2796286
Here’s some pictures I took of my work:
Sorry for the terrible lighting, it’s like, midnight for me right now. I just wanted to post this before I lost my nerve. If Dutch is reading this, hiya, I hope you like it! I tried my best. :D
“Can I have a cigarette?” The Magnus Archives is a horror anthology audio drama by Rusty Quill, written by Jonathan Sims. It’s probably one of my favourite podcasts so I decided to make an animated trailer for the very first episode, Anglerfish All credit goes to the staff at Rusty Quill
So, I’ve seen a ton of Twitter users talking about making and sharing their new tumblr blogs, to escape Elon Musk’s “anti censorship” bullshittery. First of all: welcome! I know it’s looking bleak over there; especially for trans people. But, now that you’re here, I’m here to tell you all about tumblr etiquette, how this website works, and how it’s different from Twitter. Because you can’t come onto here acting like it’s Twitter, lest The Beast get to you.
First, here are a small handful of tips and tumblr facts!
Your likes and who you are following are automatically set to public. You can make them private in your settings!
You can block tags from the settings, too.
There are lots of bots on here. If you’re not careful, you could be mistaken for one! The main way you can avoid this is changing your icon and header from the defaults. Adding a bio helps too!
You can queue and schedule posts so that your account posts throughout the day.
Like Twitter, tumblr has a radical feminist and TERF problem. However, they’re pretty easy to spot. There are lots of guides out there to help you learn how to spot tumblr TERFs!
Tumblr, for the most part, does not have any celebrity or brand accounts.
Your tumblr follower count is private.
You can have multiple accounts with the same email, and they’re very easy to switch between! These are called “sideblogs”.
Your main page is not a “timeline”. It is a “dashboard”!
You can have a custom desktop theme using HTML! Think like ye olde MySpace days. There are tons of pre-made tumblr themes available, if you’re not already proficient in HTML; including free ones!
Now, let’s talk tumblr etiquette and how it’s different from Twitter. You’re a tumblr user now! It’s time to start acting like it!
Don’t just like posts. They don’t increase visibility whatsoever. The way that you can help posts that you like is reblogging them to your blog. Especially for art!
We don’t say “oomfs” or “oomfies”. Just “mutuals” is fine, thanks!
Adding onto a post with pointless comments is frowned upon. If all you have to say it “this is so true,” or something else to that effect, you should put that in the tags of your reblog.
Most people don’t have carrds or rentries on here. Some of us do, but it’s not an obligation like it is for Twitter.
Similarly, we don’t censor words like “die” and “death”. Posts about wanting to brutally murder people in power go viral all the time, and it’s completely allowed. I’m serious! Enjoy your newfound freedom!
Blocking isn’t a big deal here. Get rid of any weird notion you have that morality is linked to blocking certain people.
But lastly, and most importantly:
Drop your discourse at the door.
If you try to post about most of the things that Twitter users discourse about, you will be laughed off the site. Especially Twitter LGBT+ discourse. Posts actively mocking topics of Twitter discourse go viral on here regularly.
Tumblr has mostly healed since its discourse-ridden days, and it’s now much more chill. Of course, discourse still happens, but it is so easy to avoid now. For a lot of us, tumblr is the last pleasant social media site left, so don’t ruin it.
Here is a list of discourse-related things that tumblr users don’t do:
Most of us don’t do callout posts, unless it’s something actually serious (like that one blog that had a human slave).
Everything that you heard on Twitter was “exclusive” to certain LGBT+ groups is used by just about everyone on here. Bi women use the double venus symbol on here. You’ll just have to learn to live with that.
In particular, I want to emphasize how much we don’t do flag discourse. To the point that somebody caring about flag discourse of any kind is how we tend to identify an ex-Twitter user.
On here, you will never have to see another slur discourse post again, unless you actively seek it out.
You’re free.
You’re welcome. And enjoy your time on here! If you have the time, please consider watching StrangeÆons’ Tumblr Etiquette Manual on YouTube, as well.
2nd verse, same as the first. This makes the second night in a row that the fire alarm went off after 11 pm and forced us all to evacuate. I have had maybe 5 collective hours of sleep in the last 3 days, and I am on the verge of tears.
Thats not even half of it either. The fire alarms mark the 4th time I was interrupted while trying to record videos for assignments due in the morning. I also found out our toilet us leaking water, so we had to be given a key to an empty dorm to use that bathroom instead. Today has been pretty stress inducing to put it lightly. Help.
Progression of fandoms: •Percy Jackson
Reading a multifandom x-over fic which included WtNV in one of the fandoms crossovered, led me to
•Welcome to Night Vale.
Reading WtNV/TMA fics led me to
•The Magnus Archives
Reading TMA/The Mechanisms fics led me to
Learning that Jonny was in a band, which led me to
•The Mechanisms
AKA How I went from a children’s book series about Greek myths to a band that plays as immortal space pirates (who are also in a band) that wander the cosmos doing violence, songs about things they’ve seen and do, and then hearing about their eventual deaths.
By coincidence, said band also have an album based on greek myths. Huh.
Broke: Encanto isn't really set in a narrow time range but it must after the invention of telenovelas because Bruno references them
Woke: It's not recent at all and Bruno literally watches Telenovelas from the future.
Streams that shit like HBO Max. Frickin eyes glowing green and shit, in his room back there in the walls, meanwhile no one else knows what a TV is.
Hi! I'm fandomFriend! Pronouns are she/her, I am 21, and I am a fan of far too many fandoms to list. Currently though, I am very trapped in undertale/deltarune, homestuck, MHA, ace attorney, tf2, the hobbit, malevolent, and TMA. No homophobia, transphobia, racism, or general shaming of fans allowed here. Otherwise... I guess enjoy anything I post? I guess? My Ao3 is CM_03.
