#tagging features arent the same...

there will be nothing more painful than wanting to do fanart and knowing you'll have to scour for hours to find a picture of what leggings someone is wearing in 1 specific photoshoot

Sometimes I'm just existing and then think about Maxie and Archie

Because you know Pokemon is quite a lot about People And Pokemon And Connection. This coexistence. How People is glad to be with their Pokemon, and Pokemon glad to be with People. How this is base of whole concept. Without this connection we wouldn't have everything we have. That's the base. That's the thing that nobody touches.

And then we have Maxie and Archie. One of them loves pokemon, and doesn't like people. One of them loves people, but don't like pokemon. They're basically go against this Base of Pokemon. (They're stupid ok)

This is something hitting me so much like holy shit like aaughhh so much symbolism and how the true power lays in connection between Pokemon and people and how the best ending for Maxie and Archie is to connect again to try to understand each other and make Connection

xi. slow morning

a/n: from my draftz if theres typos dont tell me im blind and proud... as a side note i feel like i write intimacy better than anything else AM I TWEAKING.

warnings/tags: gn!reader, no use of y/n, no desc of reader's physical features, fluff and smut, short, handjob (e! recieving—very ekko focused), intimacy (both nonsexual and sexual), cuddling, morning sex, modern!ekko, slight sub!ekko, hoping this position is understandable lol, no morning breath mentions y'all arent in each others face, half-proofread...meaning i gave up halfway thru. goodnight! 🙋🏾‍♀️

_______________________________________________

warm slivers of sunlight seep through cracks in the curtains, spilling on your face as your eyes fluttered open, making a slow ascent into consciousness.

you're met with a phone screen, a pair of hands framing the device. ekko's. a thumb swipes along the screen, transitioning into the next video. two cats cuddling. you watch him hover over the send button, tap it, choose your profile, and type the message 'us :)' before sending it to you. your phone buzzes faintly on the nightstand, though you don't reach for it.

gentle breaths seep into your ears from behind you, relaxed and steady. a shift in movement, warmth enveloping your figure—his arms, which you reach up to stroke. his hold is protective and grounded.

he was long awake before you, you can tell from the way his voice sounds, smooth and airy.

"morning, angel."

it's a stark contrast from when he first wakes up. he sounds more gruff. more miserable. much like how you sound now.

you groan, soft. you stretch to rub the sleep out of your eyes. "g'morning."

you don't feel miserable, though. far from it. waking up in his arms is the only way you've ever liked waking up.

neither of you will be getting up any time soon. not with the way your legs are tangled together, the way he presses a tender kiss against the shell of your ear as a secondary greeting, it's all too...weighted. too comfortable to just brush past. it's the weekend, anyway.

you turn, neck slightly craned, forehead pressing into his clavicle. his scent clings to him, as intoxicating and heavenly as ever. the faint traces of last night's shower linger. you know he used your body wash—he always did. shea butter lied above a layer of his basic lotion (eucerin, you put him on since he has drier skin), completed with that divine cologne he uses. forest-y, notes of pine and bergamot.

your fingertips drag along the bare skin of his side, and he twitches away from your touch. a breathy laugh exits him.

"that tickles."

you stop, moving down to his core. "sorry," you murmur. it's half-sincere.

your digits dance across the surface of his stomach, quite literally. you create legs with your pointer and middle finger, making your little hand-person do twirls and jumps. his laughs bubbles again.

"that tickles worse," his chin meets the crown of your head when he looks down, unable to catch your expression. a hand meets your nape, mimicking your movements.

it's featherlight and playful, as if bugs are scuttling along your skin. you laugh the same as he does, shoulders shrugging up in discomfort.

"okay, okay! i'm sorry."

his hand settles at the bottom of your back, right where your spine curves inward. it's relaxed at first, but then it presses. pulls you closer. as if there's even any more space to close.

your legs wrap around his waist, the leg which you lay on pushing beneath his hip to raise it. it's only uncomfortable for a second, then it's like you're slowly melting into each other's forms. bare chest to bare chest, chins resting on the other's shoulder, hearts swelling at the same speed. you know your leg will fall asleep soon, but you don't care.

yet, he's not paying enough attention to you. not as much as you'd like. sure, his hand is stroking your back. sure, he still seems like he's trying to find ways to pull you closer. but his focus strays. it's all on his phone, undeserving.

his eyes stay glued to the screen, darting around. some video about owls. his hand was beginning to falter, his affection slowing.

greedy. you need more. you know how to get it.

you shift away and your hand meets his side again. he flinches, assuming you're continuing with your ticklish movements. he settles once realizing you won't. then it trails, a slow drag down towards the front of his boxers—a light blue pair with snoopy and woodstock printed in an even pattern. you bought them for him a while back, and he was never one to complain. plus, they were comfy.

only when your fingers breach the elastic band did he notice what you were doing. he doesn't stop you.

he wasn't soft for very long after you reveal his length. feeling it grow stiff in your hands made your heart rate pick up.

"i've barely even touched you yet," you murmur, turning to litter his neck with open-mouthed kisses. he groans in response.

his tip prods at your naval once his dick is standing at full attention. an airy chuckle flows from you into his ears. your fist closes just below the head, thumb reaching to rub along the sensitive underside. each vein, each ridge that you trace over elicits a whine—ones that are close to melodic, satisfying hums to your ears.

your hand moves agonizingly slow, long strokes that leave his mind going fuzzy. it's not long until his tip starts crying, which you happily collect as lubricant. his brows knit together, delicate gasps overlapping the video in the background.

ekko's face nuzzles into the junction connecting your neck and shoulder, plump lips pressing into the end of your collarbone. his moans muffle against your skin.

"hidin'?" you ask, your free hand reaching to run through his locs. he nods, slowly thrusting his hips up into your fist, meeting your movements halfway.

a small noise clicks behind you, and whatever video he was watching stopped. then a thud against the mattress. he dropped his phone. another arm clamps around you, and you know you've got him good.

finally, the attention is on you. his grasp on your body is tight, the sweet desperate nothings he whispers into your ears as he curses and begs you not to stop are angelic.

"fuck...don't stop. please, you make me feel s-so good. god, baby—"

you loosely echo his words back to him, voice sultry and raspy. "yeah?" you purr. "feels good?"

your wrist flicks faster, too quick for his lazy hips to keep up with. he loses rhythm, his pants stutter. he murmurs something, too shyly for you to hear, yet you can only assume he's coming undone. your theory is quickly confirmed, his movements slowing to a stop as he releases all over your hand and tummy, fingertips pressing into your back.

if only you could hear his pretty cries better. against your skin, they're low and subdued, but you can hear the incantations of your name paired with his voice breaking off at the peak of his climax.

neither of you realized how tense his body had become until he relaxes against you, hand still weakly skimming along your lower back.

still, your bodies were heavy. neither of you wanted to move. but the cum dripping off you was starting to feel weird, and you want it off.

you barely even get to think about moving before his arms squeeze tighter around you. "ekko, i wanna go wipe this off."

"not yet," he whispers shakily. "just...a few more minutes. can't be done with you yet."

you've definitely won his attention. for a few hours.

MISCERVUS

my own take on a misceverse based off of ELK behaviors and such!! dynamics, extra terms, hormonal cycles, all under the cut! caps warning, all /not mad

DYNAMICS

(not exclusively males) > BULLS - [similiar to alphas] (typically) leaders, loud in volume usually, usually drawn to a handful of cows at a time (not for mating purposes, its like 'the token straight friend in a queer friend group')

> STAGS - [similiar to betas] sensitive, calm, romantic, unobtrusive, mediators

(not exclusively females) > COWS (also called DOES) - [similar to omegas] nurturing, sweet, keep to themselves a lot

EXTRA INFO

☆ only bulls and stags can sire calves, regardless of primary sex

☆ SPIKING (referring to spikes, yearling bull elk) (vaguely derogatory towards cows, as it implies that cows are young and immature): similar to bitching - process of a bull becoming a doe, through whatever manner and for whatever reason

☆ TROPHYING (comes from the term 'trophy' for a bull elk that is 6-10 years old): basically kinging, opposite of spiking, process of a cow becoming a bull, through whatever manner and for whatever reason

☆ VELVETING (from when elk antlers velvet and fall off, before growing back): common symptom before a rut happens - bulls and anyone else that experiences rut get an urge to cut their hair and possibly other physical features, such as fashion ("i feel like velveting)

☆ IVORIES: alternative, traditional name for fangs

☆ CAPE: nape of the neck and the top of the shoulders, where dynamics are drawn to for scent/scentmarking

☆ CALVES: pups

☆ BUGLE/BUGLING: similar to growling in miscecanis, but miscervus bugles arent similar to proper elk, its a high pitched whine commonly heard during rut from bulls and others that experience it, to draw cows nearby. cows can also bugle, they are generally quieter and deeper-sounding

HORMONAL CYCYLES:

estrus often happens during late summer/early fall and rut during fall from september to october but theyre both possible at any time, typically triggered by others cycles and ones own personal arousal/stress levels

☆ ESTRUS (most often cows): generally lasts from 3 days to a week, restlessness, high levels of arousal, increased bugling, increased urination, smelling different, being drawn to spend more time around bulls and stags, increased slick production, increased attempts to scent others or to be scented/scentmarked

☆ RUT (most often bulls): generally lasts from 5-10 days, typically get more physically active (to show off prowess), irritation with individuals of the same dynamic or others experiencing rut, spending a lot of time around other dynamics, pretty similar to estrus but much more active

also doe and cow are interchangeable, female elk are called cows but i like the word doe more for aesthetics

ill be adding onto this when i think of stuff/find things ive already written by forgot. then eventually id like to make a Carrd for this to look nice and put-together. any questions or asks about clearing something up are welcome, id looove to talk about this and maybe find others that can align themselves with this if theyd like! also if theres anything that might help for visibility text-wise and such, please let me know, i will edit this!

● Cowardice and it's price ●

Anaxagoras never acknowledge the truth his heart spoke , now he's left to live with the regret as his closest companion .

>>>Featuring : Anaxagoras × GN!self.sacrificial.reader

>>>Tags : NO beta we die like mydei , Reader is mysterious in a way , Anaxagoras lives , angst (?) , Anaxagoras is in denial , mild language (a bit?) , a tiny bit suggestive (it's like ONE kiss) , Stupid people in love , YEARNING , did I say angst ? Angst , probably really out of charecter anaxagoras

°Words count : 2k and something

>> a/n : this is my first ever fic written , not proof read , not revised , just a thought I wrote down , it's more like a draft , this sucks SO MUCH you've been warned , I hope it's not too bad . Polite Criticism is welcomed !

“I remember thinking ; i must see this to the end . At the time , i havent realised the impact that one simple promise i made myself would have on me . Ive long stopped fearing the unknown , ive opted to chase it ; i want to unravel the truth of this plane and peel off all its secrets till i can satisfy my curiosity .” you stopped to throw him a glance , "or find a reason to keep moving forward" you looked at him , but anaxagoras thought for a second you must be looking far beyond him , through him even .

“Thats why i wait and search for things that probably arent real .” you huffed a laugh after that , giving the man one last look before going back to your book .

Anaxagoras couldt sleep that night , he swore he must be sick , thats the only explanation for the ache in his heart and the pounding of his head .

‘i want to unravel the truth of this plane’ he swore his heart stopped for a second after hearing these words . Anaxagoras have known you since his early years , before even becoming a teacher at the grove . Both souls lost in an endless search , shunned for blasphemy and wondrous minds . He didnt know what to make of your relationship ; your bond . You both fit like puzzle pieces , his thghougts were laid out for you to read so easily . You listened , enjoyed it even and he caught himself grining whenever you'd humor his ‘crazy ideas’ . ‘Stupid’ he thought , but didn't have the heart to do anything about it .

Anaxogras swore you were special , a varient like no other , an enigma he wished to unravel . Your mind was always guarded and unpredictable , a maze of contradictions . you were cold upfront , some would even say heartless . But anaxagoras saw right through all your walls , and he's never felt prouder before . You were warm , kind and loyal to a fault ; he liked being the only one privy to these qualities .

"You need to stop procrastinating less they hold you back a year” he chastised , your final year was coming up , he was older then you , agreed to help you study and asked you why you only revise when he does it with you . “Its meaningless if i do it without you” you said it like it was factual and he was an idiot for not knwing “I'll pass anyways , high grades or not . But if you're here, I'll have a reason to strive.” He liked being your reason , you were his too in some ways . ‘Stupid’ anaxagoras thought at his own revelation , but didn't have the heart to chase the growing truth away .

He took out his eye ; for the sake of research , for alchemy , for his sister .

He doesn't know why he came to your door , he was still bloodied , you'll freak out then call him crazy and chase him out like all the others .

He knows no one stays , they all leave , by death or their own volation ; in the end it's the same outcome .

‘Stupid stupid stupid stupid stu-’ He was about to leave , regretting knocking on your door , but the wooden barrier opened . You were asleep , that much was clear from your trousled looks . You were about to ask for the reason of his visit but stopped dead in your tracks at the sight of him . He looked tired , dirty and in pain . He readied himself for the outcome he speculated , but instead you took him by the hand , cradled his face and cleaned him up .

No words were spoken that night , just light touches . You looked worried and heartbroken , but Anaxagoras saw the understanding beneath your worry . ‘I'm here’ your actions spoke , a much needed reassurance . Anaxagoras stared at you that night like you hung the stars in the sky and offered him a path to waltz around their domain .

You were here , and anaxagoras didnt know what to do with that truth , nor what to make of the fuzziness spreading from his heart around his body and flushing him hole .

‘i must be sick’ , he thought , but he knew he wasn't the best at lies .

Anaxagoras was a performer through and through . He danced around the material of his lessons , answered all questions with confidence, and took great pride in his work . but after the sun sets and he retreats to his office , all these roles are stripped away the moment he meets your gaze .

“ Welcome back” you'd greet him with a warm smile . He was him and you were you , no titles or roles .

He asked you once why you spend the majority of your time in his office , and you said it's a favorite spot of yours .

“It's warm and welcoming” you explained “plus , your couch is , like, super comfy. Someone has to use it since you're always hunched over your desk” . He thought you were wrong , his office was cold and barren , you were warm . He never chased you away , kept the couch always ready for you and never admitted the reason why your favorite tea was always the right temreture ready and waiting for you .

You were always off to somewhere , someplace .

Anaxagoras found himslef wondering where you were whenever your absence besides him stretched too long .

“ive got busssniness to take care off too you know” You laughed when he asked about your wearbouts once .

“Tell me before you disappear at least!” He chastised you then , angry tone masking the worry gnawing at his heart . You looked surpried , but your expression quickly melted to a more soft one . “Alright , i will” you reassured , and Anaxagoras was surprised how quickly he believed you .

He should've known you'd end up this way one day .

You were bloodied , a long clean cut from your shoulder to your elbow making way to crimson droplets . You looked tired and so done , standing before his door like you were one second away from leaving the mortal realm .

“Hi , mind helping out?” you sounded unbothered if only a little uncomfortable .

Anaxa didnt know if he should focus on the way he felt his breathing stop and his heart drop at the sight of you or if he should quickly rush you inside so he could keep you far away from harm and tend to you .

Anaxa realised then ; ‘this must be how they felt back then’ He winced , cleaned your arm and helped you wash out the blood from your shirt . that night , he didn't ask what happened , no , he'll do that later (because like hell he'd ever allow you to get this badly hurt again why he was by your side) , for now he simply cradled you in his arms and spent the night by your side , a steady presence and a reassurance 'I'm here' his actions spoke .

Aglaea spoke of you , Anaxagoras felt immense annoyance like no before .

The grove was under attack and you single handedly protected the place and its people . By the time he and others arrived, you were already staning injured and surrounded by the aftermath of a fight that spoke of the grave events that took place .

Aglaea spoke of you , she called you fate breaker . Anaxagoras scoffed at the implacation but felt himself grow tense at your cold expression .

“Prophecies are nothing but possibilities , lady aglaea” You spoke with a tone Anaxagoras has never heard before , and Aglaea looked at you with a mix of understanding and compassion . His heart twisted in his chest .

Anaxagoras didnt like the title you were called , nor the way he had no idea of the meaning behind it . YOu were keeping something from him , that much he realised . but what ? he thought to confront you , he did .

You smiled at him like he proposed and pulled him in hug like no before . Anaxa stilled , he liked your touch , he didn't like the underlying meaning of whatever this hug meant .

He was ready for his grand sacrifice , his biggest performance . But death didn't come , he still stood there among the other heirs .

He should've known something was odd the moment he told you of his speculated death and you only looked at him with a sad smile full of empathy .

He should've known you'd do something , but how ? And what ? he didn't know .

You gave him a red cristal when he came back , made him wear it as a necklace, and swear to never take it off . He questioned you why .

'It's so i know my way back home even if my soul shall be lost’ He accepted the accessory in surprise (he didnt know at the time that you handed him your heart in the form of cristelized red nor that it'd take place right next to his so he never loses it) .

He took you in his arms and hid his face in the crook of your neck .

‘Damn you and your mind and heart and voice and body and soul . Damn you-’ He thought . He held you tighter , never acknowledging the growing fondeness in his heart, but the long soft kiss he gave to the side of your neck told you all the unspoken words he couldn't yet utter . And your refusal to push him away , rather bringing him closer , was enough for him to know your answer . Words were never necessary between you both anyways .

He shouldve known something was wrong .

You spent less and less time around him , spoke fewer words and gave him more of your cherished belongings .

The day you gave him your precious pocket watch was the day he questioned your actions . You only layed your head on his shoulder and hummed a tone he didn't recognize . Your touch an anchor for him in the mirage of his thoughts .

'They're gifts , that way, you'll never forget nor get rid of me!’ You said it playfully, but your eyes held a depth of emotions he swore must've weighted you down .

And now , as he stands infornt of the other heirs , having watched you perform your last dance before leaving the living plane , Anaxagoras thought he was a coward .

Aglaea said something about you breaking fate and preventing Prophecies

. Anaxa didnt care to listen , he clutched the necklace you gave him in his hand and kept staring .

He didn't know how he came back to his chambers but he stood now in front of everything you've given him ; trinkets and notes and he felt hallow and void . No anger nor sadness , as if his soul was seperated from his body , he didnt feel and perhaps that should worry him to some degree but all he could think of was your voice and face and your stupid stupid stupid warm smile that he’ll never get to see agin because you were gone-!

Anaxagoras fell to the ground on his knees .

He looked up , at what ? he didn't know .

But he thought he was a coward for not voicing his feelings to you before , for not crossing the boundaries of friends or colleagues , for not putting a label to the what his entire being screamed towards you , for not going beyond a hug or the spur of the moment , for not initiating and for not acting-

Anaxagoras knew he was a coward , and he realised then that it cost him his soul and heart and won an eternal companion (regret was an ugly feelings that started seeping into his bones and making home in the hallow of his heart) . B

Because now you were gone , and you tore his soul away with you .

‘Fate breaker’ they called you , Anaxagoras cursed them for the name .

You took the fate that was meant for him (his death , he should've died , he should've known not to trust cerces after he survived he should've-!)

They said you did the impossible , broke fate and won against the divine word of their cherished gods . Anaxagoras disagrees , he thinks you failed . He still died in a way .

He still walked the domain of the living , but all that was left of him was the empty shell of his physical form .

He felt dead , he knew he was .

Not physically at least .

But as he knelt and wept to the sky (he didnt weep , professor Anaxagoras does't weep , he doesn't cry , he doesn't-!) He realized that he belonged to you before he even knew it , and even if he is to suffer without you now , he'll make sure to find you after the end .

His heart will find its way home one way or another , his soul will ache for yours till his last breath , and when you reunite (and he’s sure you will , he'll tear down heaven and hell to reach you) he’ll never let go , nor will he hold in any unspoken words or promises .

And as time passes , anaxagoras wrote your name on paper and immortalized you in records for generations to remember .

And as he took his last breath , he felt peace for the first time in so long .

‘Im home’ he thought , and his hand stretched in front of him to grasp the illusion of your warmer one .

>>> I tried oh well , I hope this turned out to be decent at least 😭

[irradiatedpiratebooty]

i think what really bums me out about tumblr hitting the shitter, is that no other site offers the same kind of engagement. said that in another post, but lemme explain a little further. yes, theres other fandom sites. yes, technically speaking other sites have the same features tumblr does. but the way they encourage the use of these features are not for actual engagement. its for gathering a follower count, gathering silent likes. getting an audience so you can make a profit. but what if you dont care about follower count? dont care about being your own business? dont care about trending or how many likes you got? what i loved about the engagement from tumblr was that, it was encouraged to respond in *some way*. whether it be just a quiet tag of a keysmash, or just a "lol" or maybe even a full paragraph to add onto a post you liked and wanted to share. i posted my art, not to gather a huge audience and a follower count, but to make people laugh, or smile, or just relate a bit. i also posted art to express my own interests, especially since fallout and pirates are a hyperfixation of mine. (not using that as a buzzword, im autistic and struggle engaging with people outside of these interests.)

silent likes, silent retweets, a hot take here and there, hell even comment sections arent the same because theyre really only used now if something is controversial for an argument, dont give the same kind of engagement or feeling of community.

i want a space where i can be "weird".people talk to me about my interests with the same kind of excitement i have, where we info dump without fear of being yelled at because "i thought that was obvious?" and "lol everyone knows that shut up." but now, everything has become sterile. even if you are openly neurodivergent, you have to be the kind where youre ACCEPTABLE, and more importantly, profitable. you cant be weird about anything, because then youre mocked and ridiculed by the same people who say "youve got to be more autistic about things". everything is public on other sites, your likes are public, your blocklist is public, your bio has to include personal details otherwise people dont want to engage with you. you have to keep up with everything and make sure youre "acceptable" to be around. TLDR: i miss the days when i went to the internet to escape, where i could drop the mask and be myself. without feeling like im being watched, or judged for just enjoying something. I miss the days where you had your own quirky blog and found people who enjoyed the same niche series you liked, and they had the same enthusiasm as you did even for the details everyone already knows.

[better pronouns page] [ how our art / media can be used ]

［　basic info !

hey , we're majora ! trying to rework things , so apologies for the mess ! we go by they / any pronouns , we also alternate between we / us & i / me - but for our intro we're just plural.

we're a system (osdd-1b) , & bodily a minor. do not be weird ... please ...

audhd + alexithymia. we're a strange thing & we arent the greatest at understanding things & conveying how we feel - so please use tone tags. we forget alot of the time ourselves , but please try to use them. they help alot.

we're trying to figure ourselves out , so we keep on changing around tags & stuff. also , mainly using our collective names for our sake - sorry if theres any confusion !

alter signoffs wont really have. names. some of us are used to going by their actual names & less-so our collective names , but theres a mutual understanding. this change is kinda new , too , so scrolling down you might find names in the older signoff tags

tags are kinda a mess ! we consistently use our art tag , though , which is #🌀 spiral art! if anyone's interested. its also the only featured tag in our blog's search bar

you can expect art & rambling here. some writing maybe too , but we're trying to move that more-so to @squidheartt ... which also needs to be refurbished. theres alot to do

we're a fandom artist ! we have our original content & ideas , but we're just now maybe about to start rambling about that. so right now its just our hyperfixations & special interests - which is usually alot of fandom stuff

fandoms we're in / interested in !

-> PHIGHTING!

-> Legend of Zelda

-> Pokémon

-> Sonic the Hedgehog

-> Danganronpa

-> Splatoon

theres more stuff but those are really the only 'fandoms' we consider ourselves a part of - rest are special interests / things we arent quite into. getting there , though !!

＊　host is also otherkin / fictionkin , & a yumeshipper ! we're sharing , though - just a heads up for anyone who needs it.

DNI / DISCOMFORT LIST || WILL BE UPDATED

＊　due to my own paranoia / desire to be ABSOLUTELY clear. im going to take my time to really write this out , apologies for the inconvenience.

i block freely , but main DNI is homophobes / transphobes , racists , nsfw , 18+ , etc. basic DNI

no longer listing our discomforts for our own comfort (how ironic). same thing with triggers , but we never listed those ...

some discomforts are fandom-based & fandom-associated. we usually just block the tags

getting better with some of these , though !! so yayy !!

About time I actually answer this. Thank you @louwhose @aheavenscorner and @mailrebel for the tags! My words are TRIAL, MAGIC, LOVER.

T- That young boy who was once full of hope and wonder had perished the moment Link drew the sword of destiny. (Dawn of the Fourth featuring Heaven)

R- Relief shined in her gaze, but her worry was still visible. (Midwinter Magic ch4)

I- "I've missed you," she breathed into his skin, kissing her prayers on his lips. (Gentle kisses in the night)

A- A part of him felt foolish for the grief he held- he was dead as much as she was after all. (Yawning Grave)

L- “Link,” Sheik began, crimson eyes trailing across the hero’s body; deep gashes from the dragon's claws, pink and red skin caused by the flaming lava he had ventured through, and bruises growing purple from who knows what else he dealt with. (Shink post fire temple)

M- Maybe I should just ask for her number. (Midwinter Magic ch 4)

A-  At least tonight he would get more than a wink of sleep, now that he was in her presence again. (Dawn of the Fourth Day)

G- “Grandad Hero. Grandfather showed me a picture of him once, you have the same nose.” (Yawning Grave)

I- “I've deceived you. I've been out here hiding for ten years and all you're not in the least bit angry?! Why? Why arent you mad?” (Tale of the White Devil ch 8)

C- Crimson eyes glared at the well before them; the source of all this destruction and chaos. (Shink bongo bongo)

L-  Link carefully observed the child’s features; she certainly resembled Zelda with the arch of her brows that furrowed when she concentrated, the curvature of her lips and swoop of her hair. (Yawning Grave)

V- "Very well." (Dawn of the Fourth Day)

E- "Excuse me." (Yawning Grave)

R- Racing against the wind, he made his way towards the castle. (Yawning Grave)

this post about lesbian divas rlly delighted me. it's fun to see this niche topic talked about and expanded on with lots of examples. soooo i compiled all the responses as of 21/09/23 10:30pm EST and put them in a spreadsheet. then ranked them by how much of a diva i consider them lol

first off, the general list. i found 152 unique responses in the replies, tags, and comments. some were only first names so i didnt bother researching into who the poster was talking about. images for ease of viewing:

second... what is a diva?? clarifying where im coming from is important to understand my upcoming opinions. i should make clear that im talking about DIVAS as in DIVA WORSHIP as in LIZA MINNELLI-BARBRA STREISAND-BETTE DAVIS-LADY GAGA etcetera. dykes can see these female celebs as divas as well, but what the original post touches on is the male diva.

this rthko ask explains the diva well. you should also take a look at scholarly articles and books -- divas have been a part of recorded gay culture and esp gay male culture and drag queen culture forever -- the term isnt concrete. rthko says that "there's no real formula" but lists these typical features of a diva:

larger than life -- glam, humor, charisma? would a drag queen impersonate them?

theatrical / proximity to theatre

sexy / horny -- rthko notes here that these arent requirements, citing liza's lack of sexual overtness

strength

niche -- can be popular but not a general crowd-pleaser

gay rights supporter -- before it was cool

now rthko is talking about female divas, even noting the blind spot for bi/lesbian fans and artists. i say you can apply the same features to male celebrities to identify the male divas dykes idolize. i should note that some of the ppl on the list are women or genderqueer. so the list is not entirely male.

another note: im putting so much emphasis on DIVAHOOD because it's SUCH a specific term. not all icons, "weird little guys", "blorbos" are divas. one thing rthko doesn't touch on is how a diva often has a strong sense of self that the devotee can identify and want to emulate -- at the xtreme, leads to drag art. if they dont inspire and amaze, then are they a diva?

lets get into part 3: which of these 152 people / concepts / groups are honest to god divas? you can argue they're all Icons to some extent (the bare minimum being having a lesbian fanbase) but do they have what rthko and i (and gay culture researchers) consider to be the features of a diva?

first thing i did identify those i both recognized and "saw divahood within". ended up with 44:

then i shrunk down the list even further to 18 (again, pure opinion):

then i ranked the 44 more methodically by mapping out the 7 features of the diva:

several important notes:

this ranking is not definite -- though i tried to be fair, considering the limits to what i know, it is subjective

i dont know the histories of some of these people, so i may be missing some things. an inverse example: i know far too much about gerard way, so i had a good idea of how he fit into each feature

some of these i couldnt decide whether i should check or not. al pacino i was esp worried about... couldnt justify checking those boxes the way i can for other people

either way, my findings yielded interesting results! 3 of the most commonly talked about singer-songwriters (bruce, bob, johnny) ranked low. this may indicate that there's other features to the male diva that arent specified or dont apply to females divas / gay male devotees. perhaps defined gender expression, or “voice for lesbians”, or something else.

all of the people with a score of 4 or more can be emulated. "sex" (meaning overt sexuality) is the least common feature, after "theatrical".

though anyone can be a diva to anyone, there's a certain "canon" of who is a diva in gay circles. liza barbra bette gaga. this messy qualitative approach is an attempt to figure that out for dyke divas. i would love to talk about it more.

18+ BLOG!

Ran by and follows back as @asktheevilgeniusesson

This is a multimuse blog based in the JURASSIC WORLD/PARK Movie series! All muses featured on this blog are DINOSAURS, aka animals, and humans will only appear as guest muses if the thread calls for it. All lore, and all creatures present here belong to the JP/JW franchise, this is just my take on them.

RULES:

1. I will be VERY selective about shipping, muse wise. These muses are ANIMALS. Wild creatures. Despite some of them posing a higher IQ than most, i will only think of pairing my muses with yours if yours is also an animal. Something that does not speak english, etc. i will not tolerate beastiality and zoophilia over fuckin dinosaurs.

2. NO GODMODDING. If we do fight threads between a dinosaur and your muse please be aware most of these creatures have high intellect, but that does not mean i will not be fair, i ask you do the same! No ‘nah, i’d win’ shit inc where they pull out some op weapon, make the fighting/survival make sense, its better and more fun for us both!

3. DO NOT REBLOG ROLEPLAY THREADS IF YOU ARE NOT THE OTHER PARTY IN THE THREAD. This will result in a block if i do not recognize you.

4. Do not harass the mun or any of my roleplay partners. Whether it be via ask comment or a rb saying something unwarranted, ypu will be blocked. This is all for fun, behave yourselves.

5. This blog will feature ALOT of dark topics. If you are nit a fan of any of the following: Blood, gore, animal death, possible animal cruelty, animal violence, animal testing, etc. please do not complain about it. Ask me to tag it if i forgot too, if it bothers you that much look away and find another roleplay blog please.

MUSES:

Indominus rex. Nicknamed ‘Indie’ for shorts sake.

A massive tyrannasaur hybrid, pure white in color with bright red eyes, with the ability to camoflauge into any environment and a huge IQ.

This creature kills for sport. She hardly eats what she kills and leaves a trail of bodies in her wake, she has no remorse for her actions and sees every moving creature as a game to play and win. The ‘apex predator’, genetically modified and the first hybrid of the parks. If she sees you. Pray and run.

Indoraptor. ‘Indo’ for short.

A slimmer and more sleek variant of the indominus. Made from the DNA and genome of mostly raptor and the other Hybrid. This jet-black beast was made as a weapon. To be used in war and fighting. Making it Incredibly Cunning and Sadistic. However has the possibility of growing a symbiotic relationship with other species that arent creatures like itself. (Ex. Humans.) it responds to the red laser on guns like a cat, killing whatever its pointed twords as it was made to kill and be sold to people to do just that.

‘Blu’ the Raptor.

Blu is a large, female raptor, with, well, blue streaks along her skin. She was the leader of her raptor pack, and her dna was used in the creation of both Indo R&I. She is cunning, adaptable, protective and stubborn. Her pack had been slaughtered long ago, but despite this, she lives on and is determined to live out her days after surviving what most raptors wouldn’t survive.

Please note these are just the current muses, there are more that are subject to be included.

Tumblr made that big long post and a lot of people are angry reacting to some like surprisingly reasonable suggestions that solve widespread long time  complaints

i dont know how they plan to solve everything just yet but as someone who knows some things about the industry and jargon here are my 2 cents

Here is a link to the referenced post

Principle 1: Expand the ways new users can discover and sign up for Tumblr

in an age where most social media sites are making it aesoteric and difficult to share posts offsite /app tumblr is considering making it easier to do

yall do you know how hard it is to link a long tumblr post with like a comic or funny string of replies to share with my friends who arent on tumblr? i have to take like 15 screenshots every time. IF staff is priorizing making it easier to share posts that would be so much better oh my god 2 High quality content on launch.  the pessamistic assumption is that this could mean a mandatory algorithm but if you read carefully you’ll notice they never fully say thats even remotely what they are going to do. This seems to be a suggestion that the default new user experience will change. 

If you like me made an account 10 years ago this looks like it won’t affect your experience whatsoever. 

but like trying to sort through tags to find blogs and curate my own feed actively took like over a year to get to a place where i’m happy when i did it in 2011/2012

if feeds and tags Worked that would be good. the for you page and exploration features on tumblr do, admittedly suck right now. there SHould be easier ways to find and search for stuff on tumblr. if their search worked better and finding stuff you wanted to see was easier that Would improve the experience for most people on this site.  3. facilitate easier user participation in conversations folks if replys could be threaded in some way it would be 1000 times easeir to have convos with them. like i do not get what people are upset about here. like a person shouldn’t have to reblog their own post 15 times in a row to reply to different people about the same thing. they could make this so much better.  4. Retain and grow our creator base

 it IS hard for art to see and get seen. if i had a nickle for every time i saw a post begging people to reblog art i’d have like so many nickles.  I would like to see more art. and ttrpg creators. there’s like stuff i have to go to twitter for and its small time ttrpg, art, writing, and literary magazines because even when those folks are on tumblr its extraordinarily difficult to find them with the systems currently in place.

 like i don’t know that tumblr has a good plan to make this kind of thing easier but if they did figure it out it would rule. and its good to know that this is a priority for the company 5.  Create patterns that encourage users to keep returning to Tumblr

throttling notifications rules. i have commented on tumblr staff posts dozens of times for like 5+ years asking for this, thank GOD. if you reblog a lot of posts you get a lot of notes even if you have like 15 people regularly interacting with your stuff on 100 posts a day thats like 1500 notifications. it collapses some by post or interaction type but that is NOT enough and the notification bar always says 99+ unless i checked it less than a minute ago, im dying please make notifications meaningful and not overwhelming. 

6: Performance, stability and quality

this is generic and means very little obviously anyone making an app wants it to crash less often.  bonus: ive seen people get upset at the implication that they are instituting a mandatory algorithm but the site has had an option algorithm for like ages, it doesn't imply its mandatory anywhere or that they're taking away our option to turn it off. there are already artist showcase things on the dash on the regular, if you have adblock on you can’t see some of those, but they've had them for fully years. 

its highly unlikely that they would get rid of one of the main selling points of tumblr.com they’re like a real company thats done bare minimum market research, like folks no one other than musk would do something that boneheaded

hihi saw ur tags on my post and i agree Except about updates . i do think they should add accessibility features (which theyve implied they want to do) and bug fixes (provided they arent global and stay present with legacy bugs) in updates . but new content? i wholeheartedly agree . it doesnt need more content. but i cant say i think it shouldnt be made more accessible and have bug fixes every now and again . (also it brings me joy to know that even fans of downpour can agree with my statements)

Yes, when i say updates i mean actual content updates that add more to the game rather than just fixing bugs and such, i didn't rlly consider those to be big enough to differentiate tbh. Maybe i don't know the exact wording, so i might be wrong, but i think of those as patches. And tbh i wouldn't exactly call myself a downpour fan bc i absolutely have a lot of issues with it, and despite enjoying it for what it was i don't exactly consider it part of The Rain World experience, rather something extra you can choose to experience or not. It's way more video gamey so it doesn't have the same charm as base game to me. After playing it for like... 100 hrs (?) on top of already having like 350+ hrs in the game before downpour, i've grown kinda tired of it now. I still have expeditions to do as i want my 100% achievements back but i lost motivation rn because i just don't wanna play dlc slugcats anymore. So i turned it off for now and went back to my favorite "post-game" activity: exploring custom regions with survivor.

[Image IDs: Image #1: Tumblr post from st4lker reading: i'm literally so sick of fly people saying ants are "bitchy" and that they cant feel love. just because ants like to be more independent and arent constantly begging to be taken for walks doesn't make them bitchy or hateful. when i was having a really bad depressive episode my ant came up to me and started purring in my lap to make me feel better... ants can feel love the same as an fly can. the whole "i hate ants ant people are crazy" shtick is getting old.

Image #5: Tumblr post from puppyMush reading: I dont know why i have to say this, i thought it was common knowledge but i guess not.

Do Not trim you're ant's antennae. I dont care if it looks "cuter" (i doesnt!) You are literally harming your ant. Once you trim or clip off it's antennae it is unable to track pheromones, it's basically blind at this point.

I dont wanna see Anyone posting pics if ants with their antennae trimmed i will Block you

Reblog from puppyMush with Tumblr tags reading: #..... anyways (face with rolling eyes emoji) #hes domestic hes not tracking any pheromones (tears of joy emoji) #i stg tumblr users will read one article about ant care and act like an entemologist. (end tags)

I have an ant ranch.....
