Things are getting rather heated, so here's a gentle reminder to everyone that every blorbo is special to someone. Please don't insult the competition, just do your best to lift your own blorbo up without putting others down. At the end of the day, this is a silly tumblr poll.

i only just noticed this excuse me. did he. did he perfume the invitation? just to give it to me??????

for a tav this is extremely funny, but for a durge this would be Simp Behaviour

[fruitwhimsy]

SUPERPOWER / QUiRK iDEAS .ᐟ ꩜

just some mha quirk / or super power ideas :p i need somewhere to dump these for future stories n such.

꩜ limerence

⟶ user has the ability to create a blind infatuation in chosen target. When this influence is applied, the targeted person exclusively focuses on the user, which allows for easier persuasion and control over their thoughts and actions.

weaknesses include mental strain and headaches.

꩜ vampirism

⟶ grants user fangs to drink another persons blood.

The user has access to superhuman strength, agility, stamina, speed, and enhanced senses in general.

user can heal at a faster rate after drinking another person's blood.

under certain conditions, the user is able to hypnotize someone for short periods of time.

weaknesses include extreme sensitivity to sunlight, starvation when deprived of blood for long periods of time, and also inability to heal if an injury is caused by a silver weapon.

the pungency of garlic can also interfere with their sense of smell.

꩜ trichokinesis

⟶ aka hair manipulation. the user can strengthen and grow hair follicles at an alarming rate.

hair can be shaped into things such as weapons and hands, and can be used to pick things up, wrap around/strangle targets, etc.

weaknesses include tiredness, headaches, and hair loss.

꩜ reflection teleportation

⟶ user can teleport through any reflective surface. This includes mirrors, water, shiny jewelry, glass, etc.

weaknesses include nausea when used too often.

꩜ medusa

⟶ user can turn someone to stone by looking directly into their eyes. (you could do something cool where the character has to wear a blindfold or something so they don't accidentally petrify someone).

user can charm someone with their voice, and is incredibly persuasive.

user has prehensile snake hair (or has snakes along with regular hair). this snake can inflict venom into targets when bitten.

꩜ emmetropia

this ability is made up of two main parts.

⟶ vital stats

the user can view someones weak points and vital stats, along with viewing basic information such as their name and age.

⟶ vision enhancement

the user is able to see at incredibly far distances, and can also view things microscopically.

drawbacks include intense visual migraines.

꩜ sound manipulation

⟶ the user can manipulate sound. Not only can they manipulate their own voice, but also the sounds around them such as alarms, birds chirping, etc.

user can amplify sounds to deafening volumes, along with decreasing sounds to the point where they are practically unnoticeable. (This is helpful when sneaking around as the user can silence their own footsteps).

The user can also create auditory illusions. This means they can make their target hear things that aren't really there.

They can also change their own voice to perfectly replicate something else. They can mimic the sound of a fire alarm to get people to evacuate a building, mimic the sound of a growling wolf to scare others, or mimic someones voice to confuse their opponent.

drawbacks include temporary hearing loss and ear ringing.

꩜ inventory

⟶ user keeps an "inventory". This allows them to pick up any objects and store them away for later. This inventory is completely invisible to others and only the user can access it.

drawbacks include a limit on how many items can be stored at once. Living things cannot be stored in the inventory, with the exception of plant life.

꩜ law & order

this is so hard to explain and probably makes no sense but whatever.

⟶ the user is able to inflict certain limitations/rules within a 30 by 30 meter space around them. (for example, the user can set a rule that declares "death is not permitted", therefore making their target unable to kill them or anyone in the 30 by 30 meter space.)

drawbacks include that the rules the user sets must be from an actual law, meaning they can't just make something up. These rules can only be held for a total of 10 minutes before they no longer apply.

꩜ superstitious cat

⟶ the user is able to transform into a black cat. When in this feline form, they can cross paths with their intended target to inflict either good or bad luck on them.

okay that's all for now bye bye

i'll probably do a part two

I like to imagine every au Dream wields their weapon differently.

In the syndicate au, syndicate!dream has more time and -ahem- healthier way to recover and build up his strength, so I envisioned that he would be able to wield an axe again!

With the eventual trust he built with the syndicate, he learnt to leave his back to them if he ever needs to recover before coming in for another axe strike!

P.S. I will be going on vacation for a week or so, so there won’t be any art until I come back. Take care and I will be back soon! >.</

✧ the foundation for your coquette tumblr presence: the ultimate guide by mindy (1/15)✧

hello darlings~ mindyyy here

i see so many amazing little blogs on tumblr, so many that inspire me and motivate me to post more here on tumblr, so i decided to make a little series helping you to create the most ethereal corner of tumblr you've ever dreamed of for yourself. i'm going to guide you through every delicate step of establishing your presence, ensuring your blog becomes a soft haven that attracts kindred spirits!!!

important note:

all the tips, advice and steps i give you in this series are the exactly what i use for my blog, this is what helped grow my blog to 1.1k followers, while befriending some of the most amazing people i've met, tumblr is an important place for me, and i've been using it for years, i've helped multiple other people grow their own tumblr blog, and i've use these exact steps. this series is superrr important to me and very well-thought out and planned, please don't steal my content ideas, or plagiarize my content or series ideas, they are super time-consuming to create and i put all my hard work into it. this series is to help you all create and build a sustainable coquette blog. keep in mind these tips i give in the series can be used for any type of tumblr blog, it doesn't just have to be coquette, however everything i say in this series is more tailored to creating a coquette blog, so just make sure to know if you aren't creating a coquette blog, that's totally fine and you can still use these effective tips! <3

let me begin with the essential elements that will form the foundation of your digital sanctuary:

choosing your perfect username

your username is like a whispered introduction, so choose carefully. consider these elements:

incorporate soft, romantic words (pearl, rose, moth, sage)

avoid numbers unless they're meaningful dates

keep it easily typeable and memorable

check availability across platforms

consider future branding possibilities

make it very short to keep it neat

pro tip: before settling on a name, write it in different fonts and styles to ensure it maintains its beauty in various forms.

example:

crafting your blog description

your description should feel like an embrace to whoever reads it. (this is both for the pinned post of your profile/blog and the description of your blog) include:

a brief, poetic introduction

your main content themes

posting schedule if you have one

any specific content warnings

languages you speak

your timezone for mutuals

special interests using soft bullets (✧)

developing your signature aesthetic

this is where the magic truly happens. your aesthetic should flow through every element:

color palette selection:

choose 3 primary colors and 2 accent colors

maintain consistent hex codes

save your palette for easy reference

consider seasonal variations

test colors against white and black backgrounds

visual elements to consider:

custom cursor designs

carefully selected fonts (maximum of 2-3)

consistent border styles

signature dividers and bullets

background patterns or textures

sidebar images and icons

essential technical setup

while maintaining our dreamy aesthetic, we mustn't forget the practical:

enable infinite scroll

set up custom links

organize your tags systematically

create navigation buttons

establish post width preferences

configure ask box settings

set up queue parameters

your blog is another part of you. every element should work in harmony to create an atmosphere that feels both intentional and effortlessly beautiful.

before you go:

✧ save your color codes in a pretty document ✧ create a moodboard for visual reference ✧ test your layout on different devices ✧ prepare a tag system ✧ gather inspiration images

with love, mindy xo

MTV Video Music Awards | September 11, 2024

Monse Fall/Winter 2024 custom

For Future Reference Vintage 'Omega Chain' - no longer available

Rainbow K Jewelry ‘Diamond Horn Earring’ - € 7215.00 Ali Weiss Jewelry ‘Baby Pave Hoop With 2 Diamond Drop’ - $375.00 Grown Brilliance ‘Emerald and Heart Lab Grown Diamond Two Stone Stud Earrings’ - $1,895.00

Lizzie Mandler Jewelry ‘Pave Knife Edge Bracelet’ - $13,665.00 Mateo New York ‘Carabiner Bracelet’ - $300.00 Mateo New York ‘Lock Link Bracelet’ - $350.00 Rainbow K Jewelry ‘Diamond Horn Bangle’ - €18,575.00

Ali Weiss Jewelry ‘Thin Gold Band With 5 Diamonds’ - $650.00 Jade Ruzzo ‘Tennessee Drop Ring in Demantoid Garnet’ - $5,600.00 Retrouvai ‘Platinum Magna Ring’ - price upon request Grown Brilliance‘Marquise Lab Grown Diamond Eternity Band’ - $2,190.00

A brief moment of pride for me because I happened to predict a different look from this exact same collection for the MTV VMAs. I'll take the win! Taylor changed partway through the show, shedding her tartan Dior look for a party look that was easier for her to dance in but still retained a high shine award show appeal. While Taylor's look is obviously custom, the tapestry alien print and buckle detail are clear riffs from the Monse FW2024 runway. This was a fun and flirty mid-show change that reminded me of her strategy at the 2022 MTV EMAs. Though for that award show, there was a clearer throughline between both her looks as they were by the same designer - David Koma. Here, there isn't as obvious a connect between the two aesthetics. Although perhaps it's the notion of translating older notions of art into surreal, modern takes. With Dior, an ode to the secret messages Mary Queen of Scots embroidered in her clothes and with this Monse look, reimagining the antique tapestry to feature futuristic visions of alien invasion. Which feels very "Down Bad" in imagery.

For her second look of the evening, Taylor swapped out her singular pair of Lorraine Schwartz earrings (a go-to jeweler for her red carpet looks) and tapped into one of her style pillars: indie designers.

The mix of metals feels very Taylor - she often swaps between gold and silver and looks equally great in both, lucky her. Though I did most appreciate the silver tying in to the buckle detail on her Monse dress.

Of all her jewels, the piece that most caught my eye is Jade Ruzzo's ‘Tennessee’ ring. I spoke to the designer and she described the Tennessee as her “signature” collection, inspired by her late father who was a drummer. “I designed the Tennessee ring, the first piece from the collection, while in Tennessee,” she told me. “Tennessee has a heart and soul that I felt I could literally hear a beat to - it felt like it moved.” Jade translated the kinetic energy she felt in the city into a hand bezel ring with hanging gemstones that create a subtle movement - “as if [the stones] are dancing on each piece.” She added, “I wanted the movement to be subtle enough that it felt Iike soft steady music throughout the day.“ What an appropriate thing for Taylor, who calls Tennessee her home, to wear.

How it feels when you encounter anti-propaganda

[alexmey-does-an-arts]

re ur egg post. aren't eggs a kind of fetishised commodity? in marxist philosophy within capitalism an egg has inherent value as a commodity that can create more capital for capitalist and is detached from the value of the labour and the being (a chicken) who created it. the labour of animals is not valued at all under capitalism. even egg laying hens are eventually killed and eaten and, once they have been sexed, boy and girl chicks are separated at birth and the boys are put in macerators (blenders basically) and ground up alive (or put in gas chambers etc) as they are not useful for laying eggs and farmers do not usually bother to raise them for slaughter for 'meat'

commodity fetishism is a very intersting part of marxist theory and can be applied not just to objects but also to living (or often dead- we kill over 60 billion farmed land animals a year, that's not including farmed fish, bycatch or wild animals) animals

DO YOU DEADASS THINK LIVE CHICKS ARE BEING PUT INTO GAS CHAMBERS

there's TONS of stuff i could say to debunk each line of this but frankly its NOT worth my time but oh my god. the line "boy and girl are separated at birth and the boys are put in macerators (blenders basically) and ground up alive (or put in gas chambers etc)" is the absolute funniest sentence ive ever gotten to read. why is 'meat' in quotes? what is the "etc?" how does marxism even play into this? WHAT DOES THIS HAVE TO DO WITH ME EATING HARD BOILED EGGS?

THIS IS MY FAVORITE ASK OF ALL TIME.

anyway for any of my followers who don't know as much about poultry raising basically every single word of this ask is absolute bullshit me and my family have been raising chickens for eggs and meat for decades nobody is putting the chicks into blenders alive. (not to mention that it's pretty difficult to sex chicks until they're quite a bit older)
