MOTORSPORTS ZINE JAM!!
Tumblr media
Calling all motorsport enthusiasts! Do you want to express and share your love for Formula 1? Or maybe you'd like to work with other creatives passionate about MotoGP? Or perhaps you want to promote a racing series like Super Formula or IMSA? This is the zine jam for you!
We (a few of us on F1twt) are hosting a digital motorsports zine jam to foster creativity in our community and would like to extend the invitation to motorsport lovers on Tumblr. All types of art for any motorsports series are welcome in this jam!
This zine jam will likely be taking place in either June or August depending on participant responses in the interest check. There are basic rules and an FAQ under the break below to learn more! We hope you join us!
Complete the interest check, whether that be participant, moderator, or just a reader! This form will close in a week!
Rules:
We don't have many rules for this jam as we want to encourage creativity and collaboration! That being said...
Hate speech of any kind (racism, homophobia, transphobia, etc.) will not be tolerated.
This event is SFW, and there are minors involved. Shipping content is allowed as long as it remains SFW.
Do not use Generative AI to create your works. If you are found to use GenAI you will be barred from participating now or in the future.
FAQ:
Q: What is a zine/zine jam?
A: A fanzine is a non-professional and non-official publication produced by enthusiasts of a particular cultural phenomenon. A zine jam is a period of time, (in our case one month), where participants will be tasked with planning, executing, formatting, and posting a zine.
Q: Do I need zine experience to participate?
A: No! We aim to make this experience as accessible as possible and will be posting guides and resources to help with zine creation. You also do not need any experience in art, design, or writing to join this jam. We just want to encourage creating cool motorsports stuff!
Q: Is there a size/length limit to the zine I can make?
A: There are no limits! We have resources and examples that can be shared if you would like some guidance or inspiration.
Q: What if I want to make a physical zine?
A: You are absolutely allowed to make a physical zine if that would be preferable. However, as this is a digital event, we would ask that you create a zine that can be easily transferred online, whether that be taking photos or scanning and uploading your physical zine.
Q: How will communication be done for this jam?
A: Communication will be through a Discord server we are currently setting up. We will also be posting updates for Tumblr users on this sideblog. You can also keep up with general happenings on the organiser Eames' Twitter which can be found here.
Q: Why is July not an option for this zine jam?
A: Eames is really busy and hosts events for other fandoms in July. If this first round of this event goes well, we may consider moving the jam to a more accessible month.
Here is a Twitter thread with more questions that have been asked.
If you have more questions/concerns and have already filled out the form, please direct them to Eames @/porgerussell on Twitter or to their Strawpage here! As Eames is the organiser we would prefer you direct your questions to them as they would have the most complete answers. However, we are also able to respond to asks and questions on this sideblog if you really don't want to go on Twitter.

#storm rambles is most of my own posts :p
#storm loses it is the same as before but I live up to my blog title and go EXTRA bonkers in my rambles (only /neg sometimes)
#mutuals art <3 is where all my mutuals gorgeous art goes (I HEART MY MUTUALS GO CHECK THEIR STUFF OUT💥💥💥)

Tumblr should really let you pin multiple things as a blog introduction. (I wish).
Anyway, hi, hello, (new friend?), I'm Brb/Birb/(real name redacted). I'm an almost graduated student from the general land of cornfields and more cornfields. There's not much around, that's why I'm here, lol. (Also I've met a bunch of cool people, so now I think I'm kind of stuck here - come join us!).
⚔️🐦⚔️🐦⚔️🐦⚔️🐦⚔️🐦⚔️🐦⚔️🐦⚔️🐦⚔️🐦⚔️🐦⚔️🐦
If you happen to be a New Person Who Has Found Me (Hello!) and You Want To Talk to Me, I don't bite, I swear. I am a Birb with the heart of a Golden Labrador Retriever. Feel free to Tag Me in any tag games or haunt my inbox. <3 Come say hi! i love friends.
Tumblr media
((Art by the amazing @mayamohini jfkfjjfkjgjgjgjfj it’s gorgeous)
(my "character sheet" that is based on my real life attributes--yes, I did roll all of these numbers. I use canva a totally healthy amount sometimes)
Tumblr media
⚔️🐦⚔️🐦⚔️🐦⚔️🐦⚔️🐦⚔️🐦⚔️🐦⚔️🐦⚔️🐦⚔️🐦⚔️🐦
Anyway, more information y'all should know: This is the main account; I do have a sideblog. I reblog a lot of friend's nonsense, post a lot of my own even more nonsense, kind of have a whole "I want to be a hobbit living my best life somewhere not here vibe" I think. You will also see posts about things I think are wholesome/sweet, writing, psychology, fantasy, whatever fandom I'm in (or a friend's fandom),....just general nonsense I suppose. I do post some amount of life stuff when relevant or whenever I find things funny. Although the pic above is an owl, I am probably more akin to a magpie with much reblogging of things I find "shiny" to add to the chaotic mess that is my tumblr dashboard.
⚔️🐦⚔️🐦⚔️🐦⚔️🐦⚔️🐦⚔️🐦⚔️🐦⚔️🐦⚔️🐦⚔️🐦⚔️🐦
@brb-on-a-side-blog is also me! This was created to hopefully separate original writing content from the rest of the reblogging I do so it doesn't get buried in theory. This may not work out in theory as well as in practice, but I promise to reblog the cool writing stuff to my main blog if you don't want to have it clogging up your dash :).
There are other ones but as I am currently not using them it seems futile to put in an intro post.
⚔️🐦⚔️🐦⚔️🐦⚔️🐦⚔️🐦⚔️🐦⚔️🐦⚔️🐦⚔️🐦⚔️🐦⚔️🐦
Tags to help sift through to find me in the hoard of posts!
#brb-rambles: Original thoughts about something (or at least as original as I can be).
#brb-(insert part of moots name here): interactions between me and said moot! I'm actually really not great at this but will get better and I forsee mass post editor being a BFF if I do this.
#brb-life: original content relating to my life/thoughts.
#brb-writes: original writing content (this will be potentially moved to sideblog).
#brb-memes (i make memes sometimes).
#brb-library: posts that are either really funny/really struck me so I'm going to save them to print out
#brb-adventures: the hopeful travel tag for some upcoming trips (either the grocery store or New York who knows).
#brb-learning-things: Things I have learned (although it's from my school/classes so questionably but I reason sourced; if it's not, I'll include source link/some kind of citation).
#brb needs a laugh check: I am joking. Please do not take me seriously.
#brb vs the call of the academia: school posting?
#brb-asks/#brb-report:s hopefully new ask tag if I can remember to add them.
#dear north canada love south canada (and associated tags I will not be typing out here) is a fun series I have with @igotthisaccountunderduress (she's absolutely cool, check her out). Again, that won't cover all the posts but again, vibes).

Riordanverse Ship Polls
Hello! Welcome to the obligatory pinned post for Riordanverse Ship Polls. Below the cut you should find all the information you need for this blog. If you don't, you can check out the blog's sidebar for more information, or feel free to shoot us an ask. Happy voting!
Rules/Guidelines:
These polls are purely to collect statistics and opinions from the community.
These polls do not reflect the views of the blog moderator(s).
A ship being polled is not necessarily endorsed by the blog moderator(s). The blog accepts any ships for polling purposes to make the polling as far and unbiased as possible. All polls are anonymous.
Please do not send hate to anyone because of these polls.
Please do not leave hateful comments on any of the polls, regardless of ship. If you dislike the ship, vote as such and move on.
Please be respectful when voting.
We want the polls to be as unbiased as possible. This is not a popularity poll. You are welcome to share the polls in specific ship circles, but please do not campaign for specific results. If it appears this is occurring the poll will be re-run.
Ship submissions should be made through [our form] when possible. Submissions sent to the inbox will be included but are discouraged.
Frequently Asked Questions:
“Where do we submit ships?”
You can submit ships at [this form]!
“What ships can we submit?”
All ships are welcome to be submitted. We want to see the statistics of the widest range of ships possible. Submit ships you love! Submit ships you hate! Submit ships you’ve never heard of! We want to see the fandom’s opinions on all of them!
“Who runs this blog?”
My sideblog for Riordanverse stuff is @aroaceleovaldez! Other mods may be added over time, though.
“Why did you make this blog?”
I just like random statistics and cataloguing various aspects of the fandom. I thought it’d be fun to collect data on the fandom’s opinions of different ships just in general, regardless of popularity of the ship itself.
“[x] ship is problematic/I don’t like it/etc!”
There is a voting option for disliking the ship. Press that button. There ya go.
“I want to send you anon hate/complain about the ship in the comments of the poll/etc”
Please don’t do this.
“How do I know which ships have already been submitted?”
We organize ships by characters, ship name(s), canon status, and more. Try searching our tags for the ship name(s) or characters. If you are still unsure, you are welcome to ask or submit the ship anyways. Duplicate ship submissions will just be deleted.
“How long do polls last?”
All polls will be set up to last as long as possible. If we believe a poll needs to be re-run for any reason (errors, intentional voting bias, etc) the poll will be re-run.

Howdy!
I'm Dimonds456, and welcome to my garbage pile. I'm a bat who stays up way too late and cannot decide whether or not to be productive. I draw, write, animate, play/write music, and I'm also insane so watch out for that.
I'm neurodivergent, disabled, queer, white, a singlet, fictionkin, and a proud cat papa. I am a cartoon character who is way too bouncy for their own good lol.
They / he / xe!
This is my main blog, but my ADHD ass also has a bunch more.
@dimonds456-art - my art blog! Almost all art gets rbed there!
@dimonds456-but-only-hlvrai - my HLVRAI sideblog! Because yeah why not. This is one of me current hyperfixations lol it's bad
@rubberhose-roy is my sideblog used to gush about 1920's-40's aesthetics, music, culture, ect., as well as an animation blog! All my animations specifically will be reblogged there, as well as any animation rambles or gushes I do.
I have more but those are the main three.
My fandom-specific blogs are:
@dimonds456-but-only-hlvrai (again)
@hlvrai-stuck-together - HLVRAI AU I run!
@halfnautica - Half Life / Subnautica AU!
@a-second-chance-su-au - Old SU AU that has been discontinued, but the blog is still there!
@batim-rewritten - a Bendy and the Ink Machine rewrite I'm working on
@cuphead-contract-au - A Cuphead AU where Mugman makes a deal (discontinued)
And, I have my own OC story, Follychromatic! I reblog all that stuff here, but its main blog is here!
@follychromatic
To see pictures of my cats, check the #Checkers and Chess tag! :D
Okay great. Now, DNI, trigger warnings, disabilities, special interests, and more below the cut. Make sure you read at least once, k? Thanks.
Welcome to my cave!
DNI
Do not FUCKING interact if you are:
- Someone who ships pedophilic, incestuous, or abusive ships while portraying them as positive and a good thing
- A bigot
- An LGBTphobe / transmed / ect
- Trump supporter
- Nazi / fascist / conservative
- Weird about furries or furry art
- Weird about fandom headcanons (specifically trans woman headcanons)
Trigger Warnings
I will tag as much as I can, and if you want me to tag something specific, let me know! But as a general blog cover, things that appear on this blog often are:
- Current events
- Talk of / discussion of sexuality (sometimes boardering on NSFW but not usually)
- Blood
- Guns
- Flashing
- Talk of proshippers (I try to be respectful but also I don't stand for them and I don't support them. I block and move on, and try to explain why proship is bad, but eh. I've only been listened to like once lol)
- Swearing / swear words
- All caps
- Bugs
- Suggestive content / NSFW (RARE DONT WORRY)
I will add more if anyone wants me to, or we can come up with a custom tag, like what I do for one of my friends! (#dimond don't look)
DISABILITIES
Hiiii I'm disabled! Both mentally and physically. I talk about being disabled a lot and try to generate positive talk about it. I also vent about it. I've had quite a few of these, and I also try to reblog as much about others I don't have as I can to increase awareness and understanding. So yeah! These are just the ones I have, but they are not the only ones that appear on my blog!
Hyperthyroidism
Graves Disease
Graves Eye Disease
Astigmatism
Athsma
Audio processing disorder
ADHD
Autism
Trauma / PTSD
Brain fog / disassociation / memory loss
Anxiety
Depression
Cane user
Weak / trembling limbs / trouble walking / trouble holding onto things sometimes
More to be added lol.
This is also a meds/treatment positive blog, a self-diagnosis positive blog, and my general attitude is just "if you think something is wrong you're probably right, you know yourself the best, even if you don't know what exactly is wrong." This attitude has saved my life and other people I know. You don't need a diagnosis or medication to be disabled.
THIS IS A SAFE SPACE.
If you are Jewish, black, brown, Muslim, indigenous, any religion, any race, any sexuality, any weird gender, anything at all- I love and support you. I'm still learning, and I try to learn as much as I can, but I'm not perfect. If I say something offensive or something adjacent, it was NOT on purpose. PLEASE, PLEASE tell me what I said wrong. I will make an effort to improve in the future.
I directly support:
- All races
- All religions*
- All sexualities (except pedos, y'all aren't LGBT, I'm sorry. You're actively hurting children. I've seen it again and again. Stop.)
- All genders and pronouns
- All "weird" identities outside of that as well (I'm fictionkin myself)
- Protests and protesters
- Neurodivergent people of all types (and yes, this means NPD, schizo, and all those other types that are often seen as bad or evil. I love you, I see you, and I support you.)
- DID & OSDD systems
I DO NOT support:
- Antisemitism
- Genocide
- Cults (*stuff like Jehova's Witnesses. I support the members, as they are victims, but I actively dislike the people on top who perpetuate the cycle. Not just JWs, but those are the big ones who come to mind. Hearts out to all the victims, I hope everyone gets to a better place soon)
- Racism in any way, shape, or form
- Religious discrimination of any way, shape, or form
- Israel specifically
- Trump, conservatives, Nazis, ect.
- Endo systems
If I have reblogged or said anything that aligns with the bottom list, that was a mistake. PLEASE let me know and I will fix it as fast as I can. You reading this right now, I love you. I hope my blog can help you feel welcomed and like you have somewhere to go if you need it. /gen
MY FANDOMS / INTERESTS
I HAVE ADHD AND AUTISM AND I'M MAKING THAT EVERYONE ELSE'S PROBLEM /silly
The current special interests are HLVRAI and Half Life, current hyperfixations are Half Life and Poppy Playtime.
SPECIAL INTERESTS:

I feel kinda bad that i kinda melted out of the avatar fandom.
like i still enjoy the content but i dont have the drive to make any more content for it myself and my brain has largely moved on to other stuff (Dragon Age, Love and Deepspace, etc).
I dont want to delete my blog but like 90% of ppl im pretty sure are just here for avatar stuff, and its a sideblog so like interaction is hard here anyways. But ive also met so many lovely people thru this blog and dont want to just disappear.
I also dont see myself updating my fic any time soon its already been over a year lmao maybe once fire and ash is out or if they ever give us more frontiers of pandora ill have a resurgence for it but idk right now im in a weird wishy washy place since ive already more or less checked out of the fandom.
Idk i might just pivot into a more general fandom blog like i was talking about a while ago or my main/art blog will get more active 🤷‍♂️

the general audience versus the rest of us
this analysis is not to degrade anyone outside of or in the fandom, it’s simply to showcase how differently people remember phineas and ferb. there are a number of topics I will delve into, all of which are lovingly put into sections under the cut. so, with no further ado… enjoy!
how normal people watch it
so if you’re like me and watched pnf occasionally on tv growing up you’ll remember bits of the show. you’ll remember it’s repetitive and episodic nature, the way everything goes back to how it was at the start of the day. phineas and ferb think of something to do, candace attempts to bust them, perry fights doofenshmirtz, and doofs machine makes phineas and ferb’s invention disappear, sticking to the status quo of what linda typically sees. it’s predictable, but not in the sense that you necessarily know what’s going to happen. maybe you do, or something happens that subverts your expectations. the “typical phineas and ferb episode structure” (or TPNFES, I’m calling it that now) is how a lot of people who haven’t seen the show in a while will remember it. or maybe not. maybe they remember doof making an inator that does x. or they remember the aglet song (never forget ze aglet!). it’s typically something you’d have seen at least a couple of times during its original run.
and no, of course there’s no problem with only remembering one or two things about a show from your youth. I personally watched a lot of shows as a kid that I don’t remember a thing about. yeah I watched LazyTown when I was like four but if you asked me the plot of any episode I would NOT be able to tell you. and it’s because it wasn’t something I was really interested in. and of course, kids can be interested in shows and know a lot about them and then hit their teen years and not remember much about them later. but if they go back and absorb that content again? they see stuff they missed the first time, or stuff they definitly remember. hell, they might even sing along to A.G.L.E.T. because as everyone knows, pnf lyrics stay with you forever. (even if you haven’t heard the theme song in a decade you won’t forget the lyrics. that shit is hardwired into you from the moment you first see it.)
my point is, a casual viewer doesn’t do anything more than just… watch the show. hell, sometimes they don’t even watch it, they’ll have it on in the background while they’re on their phone or doing something else (couldn’t be me!!). watching the canon content just once gives them the satisfaction of starting and ending the show. they don’t go into detail about it. they probably won’t open an ao3 tab the moment the last episode finishes. they won’t make a tumblr sideblog dedicated to understanding the intricacies of character arcs, their goals and ideals and how they interact with others. they don’t care enough to do that bc it doesn’t make their brain go insane for more knowledge about the show. and as strange as it sounds, they don’t have it on their minds for that long. yeah, maybe theyll think about how nice the songs were in that s4 finale but after that, that’s it. they’ll move onto something else.
how I watched it
I watched phineas and ferb as a kid. I’m pretty sure I watched it when it first aired, too. perhaps not in 2007, it might have been the year after when it actually started premiering (nz airing is so far behind it’s not even funny). I watched it as it aired, and then grew out of it around the middle of s3. I got a little older, started watching different shows, and I was just generally doing other stuff. I have a vivid memory from 2012 when a kid from my class told me that pnf wasn’t worth watching bc the same thing happens every episode and my socially inept ass went “omg ur so right” and I stopped watching it. fast forward a couple of years and I hear that the show is like, actually finally ending. idk why but I remember it being in 2014, not 2015 when it actually did air (the pnf wiki doesn’t have the date for the nz airing of last day of summer so I guess we'll never know if it aired early or not) but I watched it and kinda just carried on with my other interests at the time.
around 2017, I start talking to an internet friend from the same country as me. we talked about our upbringings and stuff we used to watch on tv, and she brings up phineas and ferb. aha! I know that one! it encourages me to rewatch the show and before I know it, I’m shoulder deep. i mention facts about it to real life friends and family (“there’s a pnf episode where…”) and I go hunting for interviews and comic-con panels with the whole cast on youtube. you know how it is. I start going through the posts on tumblr and I find a sibling show of sorts – one that also has a crossover planned for 2018. I watch that show. I lurk in the shadows of the tumblr tag for a while. I start writing fic. I draw the characters on any piece of paper I can get my hands on.
it all comes to a head in october 2018, when I wrote a phinjeet fic called cappuccino, and one of my favourite artists EVER made fanart of it. and obviously, I had to put it somewhere. I’d thought about making a dwampy sideblog for ages and had no idea what to call it or anything, but this was all the encouragement I needed. I made the sideblog. I reblog the art. then I went through my likes and got some of the pnf/mml posts out. fast forward almost five years, and here we are. still just as insane, just with a new username.
in short — no, my experience watching pnf is not one of those typical of a general audience member. I mean, it would have been, if not for that fateful conversation with my internet friend that basically rebooted me and quite literally rewired my brain to be insane about this cartoon universe. I’m not by any means a casual viewer of this show. I know more than an average person would about it, but I wouldn’t have it any other way. I adore this little community of ours. and being able to crack out of context jokes that come from the shows to older people who I know have never seen it, well, it’s a cherry on top.
both the GA and the fandom contribute to the culture staying alive
there’s certainly a way that the general audience keeps pnf alive, even if they have no idea they’re doing it. they’ll make very generic memes about it (you know the ones I’m talking about) and they’ll circulate the internet for a bit, reminding everyone about the show they watched casually as a kid. us, on the other hand, make very very niche memes about it. like hieroglyphics. and combovers. (see what I did there?) ours tend to stay in our little circulation, minus the ones that break containment. you get it in any fandom though, it’s certainly not limited to us.
as many times as you’ll see the posts that attempt to explain the ‘doof is phineas dad theory’, you’ll see just as many responses debunking it. or seeing dan and swampy debunk it, as they should. (honestly I think we need like crystal fucking clear evidence in the reboot to explain it otherwise it’s just gonna keep happening.)
the circulation of phineas and ferb itself through any means, be it memes or actual conversation that prompts a rewatch or even just a memory of the show, keeps the show relevant. I think one of the more notable ways this has happened is dan povenmire getting tiktok famous and basically reminding every older gen z kid about the show. to quote jeff swampy marsh – “plus there’s always reruns so the show will never die” – sure, disney channel itself barely exists anymore but reruns can also kinda be translated into disney+ rewatches or even just the passage of a meme on the internet.
phineas and ferb has stayed, somewhat, consistently relevant. I mean, think about it. since pnf started airing, there hasn’t been a year (except for 2021) where nothing has happened. pnf aired from 2007-2015, milo murphy’s law aired from 2016-2019 (which includes phineas and ferb characters so I count it as pnf content) and catu came out in 2020. dan’s own show hamster and gretel started airing in 2022, and based on the poster, I don’t think we’ll be missing any phineas and ferb characters at all. dan basically confirmed it. and truly, it’s what keeps the show alive, even when it’s not really there.
things in the show that the ga have very different opinions on, re:
candace and jeremy’s relationship
something the general audience haven’t caught up with yet is the way that candace and jeremy interact within the show. sure, if you haven’t watched it since you were 10 then you probably remember candace being like insane and loud about the boy she’s obsessed with. if you watch it again, you’ll see that jeremy is almost just as bad. it’s just downplayed because he’s not a main character. we don’t see his perspective NEARLY as much as we see candace’s, which might make it seem a bit more one sided or unrequited than it actually is.
in the episode “backyard aquarium” from early s2, we’re shown a montage of both candace and jeremy trying to ring each other for a whole day, until candace goes to bust her brothers and forgets about her phone for a little moment. this gives jeremy time to leave eleven messages for her. obsessed much? (it’s actually kinda sweet) and yeah, they’re teenagers. every feeling seems way more amplified than it actually is so both of them getting upset that they cant contact each other is pretty realistic, even if it is just played for laughs.
there’s a lot of really thorough characterisation when it comes to both of them. mostly with candace, obviously, she is THEE main character of the show so clearly she’s deep and very fleshed out. we don’t see it as much with jeremy but we get pretty good glimpses of it when it’s shown. he’s got the picture of her from “the bully code” in his guitar case. he likes her so much! he put her picture in the place he keeps one of his favourite things!! he’s down so bad for her! but of course, if you don’t actually pay attention or care especially about any of that stuff, you’re going to miss it and generalise about it. and it unfortunately applies to quite a few things in the show. sigh.
doof’s relationship with his parents
for real, fuck those guys. I think the ga are pretty aware of this part, and if you asked anyone to say what one of doofs backstories are they’d probably say “his parents didn’t show up for his birth!” or “he was a lawn gnome!”. both of which are specifically tied to his abhorrent relationship with his parents. but what they potentially don’t remember is how he still tries to gain their affections anyways. it’s the classic trope of not being able to cut off your abusers simply because you just can’t, morally. you still want to prove yourself to them and make them see you’re worth having around even if they never liked you in the first place. heinz tries very hard both in his youth and in the show itself to gain affection from both his mother and father. these include:
the teddy bear and trying to be good at kickball (thaddeus and thor)
the original gnome (fathers day)
even the fucking clip show episode from the end of season 3 (this is your backstory) where his mother comes back and he goes in for a hug and is instead greeted with a smack. hmm.
even just those examples are enough evidence that yes, heinz did actually really try with his parents even if they didn’t care. and again, it’s unfortunately played for laughs that heinz is constantly beaten down by almost everything around him but as we know, he gets a real family at the end of the show and things seem to work out well for him. does he get closure with both of his parents by the end of s4? maybe not his mother, but sort of with his dad. and yeah, maybe they’ll get into that in the reboot. but it’s definitely something the ga never noticed. it’s always about laughing at his tragic backstories, even if that is the point of them, not necessarily feeling bad for him and wanting to see him come full circle with everything that’s happened to him. and it does!
isabella and her one (1) personality trait
according to the ga, isabella garcia-shapiro is a one dimensional character who’s only personality trait is having tunnel vision heart eyes for the boy across the street. is your blood boiling yet? mine is! isabella is one of the most fleshed out characters in the show, with a large family and interests outside of phineas. hell, she’s the leader of her fireside girls troop which is a huge part of her personality. she’s brave and strong and gives ominous patch related threats to a man almost five times her age. but no, the general audience will only ever see isabella as the girl obsessed with phineas. I’m not discrediting this at all because yes, she’s obsessed with him. she’s a simp. definitely nothing wrong with that at all! but the ga claiming that it’s her only personality trait? get fucking REAL this girl is deep and gets upset and anxious and emotional about things that have nothing to do with the boy she’s in love with. even if it does have something to do with that, she carries on anyway because she’s strong as hell. it’s not the first time a character has been like that on disney channel — I mean, kim possible was pretty boy crazy but her crime fighting always came first, right? (really showing my age with that reference. wow) and I hate to reference act your age bc it’s vile but she doesn’t only ever spend her time moping over phineas as a teenager, she keeps herself busy and helps her mom at the restaurant and is an RA at her college and does a whole heap of other things! she’s multifaceted and it’s what makes her a really compelling character to watch. and watering her down into just the girl who likes phineas is a huge discredit to her character.
so, where am I going with this?
I’m not saying ever general audience member has to rewatch phineas and ferb a million times to understand every single character arc. hell, I’m not even saying that they have to rewatch it at all. there’s such a huge divide when it comes to it, and obviously not everyone is going to experience everything the same way. a lot of people simply don’t care enough to crack open the psyche of every phineas and ferb character to understand their motivations. that’s just the freaks (affectionate) who roam on tumblr, eager for media analysis of a childrens cartoon that ended almost a decade ago.
for a lot of us, it’s very satisfying to be able to analyse specific media. there’s writers and storyboard artists that put all that stuff in the show for a reason, right? it makes us want to see parallels and understand where a characters moral alignment sits and why exactly buford speaks latin. and for others, they’ll simply watch a show and move on. there’s no need for them for it to be on their brain 24/7.
overall, there’s a stark difference in the way people watch a show as iconic and culturally significant as phineas and ferb. the general audience watches it very differently to us, and that’s okay! it happens with any piece of media. there’s casual fans that watch something once and then the very not casual fans who have it on the brain constantly. and then there’s fans that have been very absorbed in the fandom and move on, which again, you’ll get anywhere. nothing about the dwampyverse fandom is limited to us, in terms of the way things go (not the source media itself. name one other show that has anything REMOTELY similar to pnf happen in it.) most people know the show, and most people don’t know about the insane and obscure facts about it, and I think it’s fantastic.
goodnight tri-state area. thank you.

ETA 1/16/25 My inbox is closed due to I get spam at 20:1 ratio to legitimate messages.
---
ETA 11/24/24 I will continue to focus on pretty & fun content like art, knitting, cats, etc but I'm releasing my stranglehold on not discussing hard stuff ever.
---
I thought as a fannish tumblr I could stumble along without a *jazz hands* policy but I guess I gotta pin a post.
I am on Tumblr for fun.
If you send an ask for money I will block and report spam.
Below the cut: stuff I reblog, sideblogs, stuff I try to avoid, block policies, queue, do not ask me for money, and as a palate cleanser to thank you for reading, a nice picture of my cat.
I like to reblog:
pictures of animals and flowers
fannish stuff about shows, books and podcasts I'm enjoying (I like a lot of shit and I'm a fannish butterfly and/or magpie, it's not useful for me to post a fandom list, it expands often) (this includes thinking about characters banging, if you are an "anti" you will probably not enjoy my blog)
sometimes chronic health stuff, that's less fun but the spoonie community sometimes offers advice i find useful or just, relatable weariness
neurodivergent stuff too
food and recipes
art (no AI. if you see me reblog AI-generated content feel free to let me know) (by the way I HATE being suspicious of artists and trying to figure out if something is genuinely creative or machine-mixed.)
architecture and interior decor
fashion
hot people, often wearing fashion
if it makes me laugh. memes and shit.
language/linguistics stuff
filmmaking stuff
knitting and other fibercrafts
general nerdery
queer stuff (history, queer rep, talking about the queer experience, hot queer people flaunting it)
jewish stuff (usually cultural, some midrash, I try not to post about current events see below)
scifi & fantasy writing/what-ifs/meta
polls I miss LJ clicky-boxes but i vote in all kinds of polls it activates something in my brain
like literally whatever interests me, this is a personal blog, not themed*
* i have a couple of themed blogs, which I very occasionally update:
@teachdeathtodye, about both fiber and hair dyeing
@wheresmygoddamnlunarbase, about surprising or exciting scientific and technological advancements.
any other blogs that are not defunct? apparently as of 2023 I still post to @hewasonfogmachine, which was essentially a moodboard for an epic plotbunny I never wrote. it was a rock star AU, so lots of interesting musical instruments and performances. also an MCU/Mission Impossible fusion so hot pics of actors from both franchises, and my fancasts for OCs. either a very specific or very random themed blog, but if it's to your taste, enjoy.
But back to THIS blog!
I try not to post about politics (I am trying not to even read about politics on tumblr tbh) but sometimes the moment moves me. I will tag relevantly (I use "us politics" for American shit and "i/p" for the Israel-Palestine conflict).
I believe in curating my tumblr experience. I filter a lot of keywords and tags, but I also unfollow people if you post something that upsets me and gets past the filters. It's rarely personal. Who I follow is meant to give me an interesting and pleasing dashboard experience, not necessarily be a reflection of who I'm friends with.
I block fairly liberally. If I find your posts/opinions antithetical to my existence or my friends' existence, I will do my damndest to block you rather than argue with you (sorry if i was unable to resist arguing with you before I remembered the block button).
I softblock declared minors who follow me. I'm not an "adult" blog per se but I'm not filtering my content for children and also if you are a minor for your own safety you should not be announcing it on the internet, get that shit off your profile.
I periodically check who follows me and I might softblock (or hardblock) you if I do not think we are compatible (ie you have a DNI that lists people like me but followed me anyway for some reason??)
I queue shit and don't mark it queued so me posting is never an indication of whether I'm actually online.
And here's the thing I need to say that got me to pin a post:
I do not reblog ANY requests for money, I do not respond to asks from people I don't know personally asking for money. I'm on Tumblr for fun and my wallet is not available.
If you send me something like that and it looks spammy (which if you're cold calling, it does), I will report you to Tumblr. If you send me something like that and we don't know each other at all, I will block you. (If I know you I will probably gently remind you I don't do that. Unless I know you but you've been borderline annoying or upsetting in the past, in which case I might just block you anyway.)
Look. The world sucks. A lot of us are in financial straits and are not getting the support we need from our communities, our governments, our families. But I don't have the energy to figure out if you're "deserving" and I'm not loaded either. I do my volunteering/community aid locally in person, not online, to be sure I know who I'm helping, and because a lot of the help I am able to provide is via action rather than money. I am very sorry for the failures of our society that have made social media your best chance of getting help, but please don't ask me to participate in that.
Here's my cat.

Pinned Post - Blog Information
This blog is my otherkin/fictionkin/nonhumanity based blog, but might stray away from those topics at times.
If you know my main blog, please refrain from mentioning it here! Ty!
About Me:
Amqi/Amnuqevsi or Jacky
18 years old
she/they/he (very fluid with my gender, so this is put in preference order [on average], but i honestly don't care too much)
otherkin (mainly relating to crows but also a handful of other animals, like snakes and sharks)
fictionkin (mainly Amqi, she makes up a lot of my identity; kin list can be found [here]
I am part of, and host of a system (no syscourse!) called "System [£ЯЯ0Я]" / "[£ЯЯ0Я]", that name might change in the future though. As someone else might post here, for any reason; my sysmates and their sideblogs (Only Eight has one ATM) can be found here:
Eight / The Heretic ( @o5-eight ) [system co-host/protector] {Usually speaks with red text and signs off as "-8"}
Meri / SCP-166 (Maybe remake in the future, she is dormant atm)
Two (Unlikely that she will have one)
S██████ ████ (Unfortunately too disrespectful to others)
Post tagging [WIP]:
#amqi's nest - stuff like this, usually will be linked from here somehow, just general about me and account info
#burning a building down thats underwater - pr/essure kin tag
#basically just the containment torment nexus - scp kin tag
#(fandom/source) - for reposts of art about source
More about Amqi and The Wing (her organization) below the cut.
More about who Amqi is:
Amqi (full name: Amnuqevsi,) is a major part of my identity and a permashift fictionkin. I added this to my pinned (might move it to a separate place later), because she is an "oc", so finding information on her is tough. This is mainly for people that are curious about Amqi (and her organization) and want to learn more.
Before you start, this will probably be written a bit weirdly, with a bit of clutter, so my apologies if that's the case, might touch it up from time to time.
[ABOUT, AMQI:]
Amqi is an anomaly "oc", that I made years ago, for the SCP universe. Amqi is an alien, whose species is one that closely resembles an anthropomorphic version of a corvidae. Amqi holds the ability to shapeshift, and it is not an ability that is shared with her species (as far as I am aware). Her shapeshifting can be affected by electricity (either that is forcing a shift to happen, or inhibiting her from doing so), and that is the full extent of her anomalous properties (unsure if her long lifespan is one or not though). [This next paragraph has a lot of varying information, based on timeline, so I will try to generalize it] Amqi was acquired, at a young age (before maturity), by the foundation, with force in the early days of the SCPF. This is why Amqi is very resistant towards the Foundation, and has been a pain to them ever since her capture. Amqi was contained for a very long time, but eventually breached and went on to make her own group known as "The Liberation Wing" (or "The Wing" for short).
[ABOUT, THE WING]
[THE WING'S GOALS]: Breach sentient anomalies from the SCPF, and then provide housing for them (main goal); annoy the Foundation; and to protect the anomalies from organizations who had malicious intent for the anomalies. The Wing was most likely allied with the Serpent's Hand. Amqi was the singular head of The Wing (titled as "Ulna", "Ulna Amqi", or "U-AMQI".), though she had a very small amount of staff under her, who helped with jobs that she was too busy to do. Though most things about The Wing were decided by the anomalies housed there (like a vote), to make as supportive of an environment as possible. The Wing housed anomalies in apartment-like modules, with the ability access to the rest of the premises at their will. The premises basically was built and functioned like a small town would (pretty much just one building though.) Anomalies were housed instead of being left in the world (by the anomalies' choice of course; they could leave at any time, if they wanted to), due to concerns of safety for the anomaly. Besides, most anomalies chose to stay, as The Wing offered a great sense of community and assistance to the anomalies.

pinned info post
I'm Misha (he/him preferred, but others are fine), young adult. I'm a queer Russian socialist. I suspect I may also be autistic. This is my main blog.
I have a sideblog called crossroadsofchaos where I make original posts about my OCs and my other media interests, including art, writing, edits, text posts, etc, follow me there for that. Originally the blog was strictly OC-centric, but as of May 2024, I also decided to move my original fandom posts there.
If you'd like to ask anything, feel free to send an ask! (Anons are temporarily off.)
Fundraiser tags: #donations; #palestine fundraisers; #sudan fundraisers; #congo fundraisers; #ukraine fundraisers;
I add image descriptions to images I post, but only occasionally add them to reblogged images.
Feel free to scroll through my "#positivity" tag, I reblog positivity posts sometimes. This includes positivity for people with stigmatized mental illnesses, like Cluster B disorders, OCD, bipolar, etc.
I try to tag triggers, at least ones I'm aware of. The format is "#cw: [thing]", like "#cw: flashing", "#cw: blood" or "cw: violence", and a handful are abbreviated by either simple shortening or use of initials like "#cw: sui mention", "#cw: ed mention", "#cw: sa mention" or "#cw: csa mention". If there's anything you'd like me to tag, feel free to ask. I rarely post or reblog nsfw, but my tags for it are "#cw: mild nsft" and "#cw: nsft stuff".
Also, I try to tag posts like "reblog this if you think x", "good luck posts" and other stuff like that with "#reblog bait", and generally try not to even reblog them in the first place these days. (Note: fundraiser posts won't get the "reblog bait" tag).
A few more things:
Do not repost/reupload my work or any other artist's work without permission. And get that permission before posting, instead of posting and saying you'll remove it if they ask. Ask for permission, and if they say no, or they don't reply, don't post it.
I don't care what labels or pronouns people use as long as they're not doing cultural appropriation, using terms like "super straight/gay" (made by transphobes to say they aren't into trans people) or being harmful in some other way (like rad/queers, who think you can claim literally any experience/identity just because you want to; as an example, they think you can "transition" into being autistic, ADHD, and other neurodivergences, and call actual people with debilitating disorders like PTSD "lucky" to have them).
Tme/tma are intersexist terms, this post by an intersex transfem explains why.
The Shinigami Eyes extension is run by radfems whose "pro" or "anti" trans labels depend on whether you agree with them, not on whether you're actually pro-trans.
To elaborate: the extension is consistently being used to mark vocally pro-trans queer people (including trans people) as "anti-trans" for calling out intersexism, racism, and other issues in the community, or even for literally just talking about their own lived experiences; meanwhile there have also been examples of people being falsely marked as pro-trans, and the extension's guidelines do not consider bigotry against non-binary people to count as anti-trans.
I block pr0ship/c0mship/pr0fic/whatever on sight. Carefully exploring a dark subject is great; treating it as a "tee-hee silly shipping trope" akin to Tall x Short or Fire x Ice is not doing that, it's trivializing and cutesifying the subject.
[This post may get updated sometimes]

🥺🥺🥺 not 2 be sappy on main but omg I actually started off in Deviantart ages ago, that was the closest thing to social media for me until the tumblr migration lol. But I never really interacted with people on there, and even upon moving to tumblr, never really interacted with people here too often either. At first I had my main blog which was meant to be more professional since I was selling art to get a little college income, so I didn't really make too many irrelevant posts. Then I decided that I wanted to be able to reblog art and support other artists, so I made a side blog where I carefully curated and tagged the posts I reblogged. I made a few original posts but no one ever interacted, and eventually I realized that people only ever sent me asks there if I tagged anything wrong. Also I found out that adding stuff like series and character tags to a reblog on tumblr is basically useless because the op will pretty much always tag those things which makes it searchable on your own blog even if you don't tag it yourself. And if op DIDN'T tag it those things, your tags will make the post searchable on your blog but NOT in the general search, so it doesn't give op any more of a boost than just reblogging it tagless. So I made another sideblog, which I still have today, and I just rapidfire reblog literally anything I find shareworthy lol. Not any interaction there but at least I'm not wasting my time meticulously tagging strangers posts hsfjdlshfks. Since I was best friends with a big name fan in my main fandom (we became friends when I left a long emotional comment on their fanfic btw <3), I helped run some small fandom events and met more people as well. When I switched fandoms, it was a fandom event that gave me a new friend too, my posts never got any traction. Large fandom discords didn't really work for me either. But on this blog I was lucky, and for the first time people started like actually responding to my comments and posts, and get conversations going! And genuinely that's what's kept my brain rot so powerful I think, because bouncing ideas off each other and joking around and shitposting is genuinely the most fun I've ever had online!! I have to thank desta and oatmeal for the fun times especially, and hillbilly---man left really nice comments on my first few fics that really encouraged me, and I always have fun trading ideas with alienn, saikikthoughts, and crookedlyinnernightmare, plus everyone else who's on here, that's too many people to type out. AND I TYPED UP A BUNCH MORE STUFF BUT TUMBLR FUCKING DELETED IT!! Are you shitting me.... Well I think I remember saying that even if it's been getting kinda quiet and boring lately so my attention is starting to wander (I've pretty much posted all of the meta that's not deep fanfic hc at this point and my drawings take me a long time to make), I'll never delete this blog and I'll still be putzing around online until the day I die probably. And I'll always remember these days fondly and hope to find another great community like this one. And also I highly encourage everyone to post, reply, interact, and play with fellow fans! I've made lifelong friendships over blorbos and even if we don't have the same blorbos any more, we're still friends. Obviously stay safe online, never send money to strangers, probably wait like a year to start shipping each other stuff but still, reach out because you never know who you might meet! I've been lonely irl for most of my life for various reasons, and my online friends have been a lifeline honestly, they're all really important to me. Two of my best friends today come from fanfic comment sections!! Also I need to get around to archiving my meta on AO3 lol (yup, it's for meta too!) but that's gonna be a lot of work so -_-U).

Hey, I'm considering making another Tumblr blog to talk about my 'problematic' ships. Do you think it would be enough to just make a secondary blog or should I start a whole new separate account? I'd rather not deal with a separate account, bc I'd need to manage another email, but i might do it anyway. I was wondering what you/your followers opinions were on what is better?
I can help with this! So, for my more problematic ships, I created a whole other account. (I also created a separate ao3 account, but I'll stick to talking about Tumblr.)
Now, other anon, it depends on how secretive you want to be. I have a mutual who created a sideblog for their more problematic ships in our fandom. They'd made a name for themselves, mainly shipping/creating wholesome content, so while they've always been vocal about saying "ship and let ship", they got nervous about suddenly posting about their problematic ships/headcanons on main, so they made a sideblog.
Since it's a sideblog, their interactions with other blogs are a bit more limited, unless they want to "out" their main, which they did by accident. They made a post, another mutual replied, and then my mutual replied to that, forgetting that when you reply in the notes, it shows your main account url and icon, not your sideblog's url and icon.
From what I've seen, this hasn't caused any problems for them, but while our fandom has lots of anti-leaning people (a big blog in a server I'm in was complaining about proshippers being bad and too many people in the fandom making problematic content or "letting it slide", but that's a separate thing), most people in the fandom seem to go by "block, complain to friends in servers/group chats or make vague posts, and move on".
If the fandom you're (other anon) in has more vocal antis, you might want to make a whole other account, like I have. Now, in my case, the reason I made a completely separate account is that I've gotten stupid. I've gotten really personal on my main fandom blog, and things I've said can make it easy to doxx me. (Like, I wasn't giving out my legal name or anything, but someone with too much time on their hands could go through my personal posts (now deleted) and piece together enough to guess my general location or potentially find my old accounts on other social media, which could lead them to my (dead but not deleted, I think, unless Musk made good on deleting all unused accounts) twt, which has my deadname.)
I also plan on publishing at some point, which I've been open about on my fandom blog, often talking about my original content, not just my fandom stuff. After years of seeing how the anti mindset has infected authors on twitter, I've decided I DO NOT want my fandom persona and the pen name I'll be using when I publish to be connected. Especially when my main fandom is one of the "problematic" ones.
Having a separate account (the email I use is one I already had that I use for spam stuff, like online shopping/subscriptions/etc) makes it so I don't have to be as careful when it comes to sending asks or replying in posts, like my mutual I mentioned above. I'm also more vocal on my "secret account" about ships and other fandoms I've never mentioned on my main account, and the aesthetic is different, too.
Now, for me, I plan on not using my main account after a while and making my "secret account" my main one eventually. (Basically like Shippers Protection Program lmao) For me, privacy/secrecy was the biggest reason for me making a separate account. A side account leaves way too many chances for me to make a "whoops, wrong blog!" mistake when posting or reblogging. For my mutual, a sideblog is enough, since most mutuals they regularly interact with either ship the same problematic ships or support them shipping them, so they wanted to keep their secret blog open enough that their friends/mutuals could find them and talk about their ships.
Basically, my mutual just needed a separate room to feel safe talking about their ships. I needed to move into a whole new house to feel safe talking about my ships/interacting in fandom in general. It's all about what makes you feel safest. Good luck, and have fun!
Some great advice for anon!

I'M MOVING ACCOUNTS!
Find me here: @its-atlass
Some background information behind my decision:
I made this account a year ago and at that point, I did not understand how Tumblr's account system worked. I thought that if I made another sideblog, I could use it like a main. Clearly, I was incorrect in that assumption.
Therefore, this whole year, I've been reblogging and building my space on this site through a sideblog, and let me tell you, that is not. fun. and generally just confusing for everyone I interact with.
So, the solution that's been rattling around in my brain for the past few months has been to move accounts to my "main" blog.
Now, how is this going to work?
Well, over the next few weeks, I'm going to be reblogging almost all of the content that is already on this blog and deleting them from here
I will also be switching my usernames. So my main blog (formerly: its-still-atlass) will become its-atlass, and this blog (formerly: its-atlass) will fall under the name its-still-atlass. Hopefully this won't be too confusing 😅
What will happen to this sideblog?
This blog, once the fandom content is removed, will become a place for shitposts (both fandom and general) and random infodumps. I'll still be posting and reblogging my regular fic and fandom stuff onto the "main" account though, so nothing is really going to change for that
Thank you for understanding and having patience for me during this transitional period and I hope to see y'all on the "main" account soon :)
If you have any other questions, feel free to dm me through either blog ❤️
