Alright guys! After a whole week I've finally got the paralive discord server up and running! The current invite will be valid for about 7 days and I'm not planning to make another public link for at least a couple of months.

After I make my final pinned post, I'm gonna start to phase out of tumblr and I won't really go on the app/site except to continue exporting my blogs (and also continue posting on that one sideblog I have?). So in the meantime I need you guys to spread this like wildfire. Even outside of tumblr if you want! I just want as many people to see this as possible.

Ok I did end up going to sleep because my energy levels were not it, but the invite link will definitely be out today! (which is tomorrow for most of you I think) I just need to take care of two big things and then we're good to go

I'm gonna pull a full all-nighter to get this server ready I swear.

I mean I've already done that a few times in the last seven days, but especially now I WILL NOT SLEEP.

So this will probably be my last update on the paralive discord server before I send the invite out (which will likely be sometime on friday), but I just wanted to show you guys a preview of some of the main channels.

All the channels that I've added so far will be considered final until the invite link goes public and I don't plan on adding any more right after 'cause I'll likely need a few days to recuperate my energy before I can get into being a full moderator (this shit has taken the life out of me for the past five days but it's worth it). You can still report any problems you may have in either dms or the feedback channel, I just may not be able to respond to them as quick as I can yet.

If you told me almost two years ago that I'd be making a discord server for that one fandom I've been seeing a lot on twitter through i7 accounts (but also that one tiktok with Reo before I even knew what paradox live was), I would've been confused but not surprised 'cause even back then I knew that this shit was gonna rock my world

So idk if I'll post any server updates today, but I do want to say that I'm gonna be posting a lot more of my thoughts on dreamwidth now! My journal is the same as my @ but if you just want a direct link to it you can go here. I'll also have it linked in my current pinned post and the one I'll make later just 'cause that'll most definitely become the place I write the most on (like character/fandom analyses).

As I start to phase out of tumblr I'm gonna be using dreamwidth like I used tumblr to write out my thoughts (though a lot more restrictive since dw has better filtering for posts+I do want to sort of serious about it). The only thing I'll really use tumblr for is to make updates/ask for feedback on the discord server before the link goes out, but after the invite expires (or when there's enough people already) then those will be done internally and I won't be posting on here or any of my other blogs anymore (besides ainanagifs). They will still be on the site to look at, but I'll be moving onto other things.

It pains me that I'll have to leave a bunch of you guys behind (especially in the MDZS fandom 'cause idk if I'll ever feel comfortable interacting with the fandom anywhere else), however it must be done. Besides the whole thing with the staff cuts, there's also some other choices that the staff has made in the past month or so that I've felt on-edge about (like making avatars visible on og sideblog posts even if you have them turned off wtf). I think it might just be my experience with other apps like instagram and wattpad where their interface over time suddenly got more and more corporate. I don't know if tumblr will ever get to that point, but I think it's obvious that the staff who make these decisions do not care about what the userbase wants and won't hesitate to run it to the ground until it's no longer valuable (whether intentionally or not).

I could explain why in the past few days I've found dreamwidth to be much better (especially for censorship and safety once you set the right filtering and privacy settings), but this post has gone on long enough. So yeah go to my dreamwidth if you want to see more of my thoughts on fandom or even just life in general 'cause I'll probably ramble more on there than I ever did on tumblr (I rambled so much in some posts that my brain had to take a break in between lol)

Almost forgot to reblog this

!!IMPORTANT TO READ!!

So when I made this blog I was planning to queue a bunch of random thoughts I had about Lan Wangji and then unpause the queue at a later date to let them automatically release daily. However due to recent events I realised that I needed to get these out as soon as possible. Regardless of if Tumblr is officially going away or not, I'm leaving. There will be a post on my main @incomplete-ruler (will change this to an embed link later) where I'll leave links to all the places I'll be moving to so I'd recommend checking those out if you want to see the continuation of inner workings like this (or you just want to see more insanity). If there's anything directly related to this blog I'll post it here too.

Oh and also there's some suggestive stuff in here so beware (I mean I only queued one post but still thought I should mention it).

[incomplete-ruler]

So another post about the discord roles (both the main display and for other groups that are selected), do you guys want private discussion channels related to each group? And if so what should each one be about?

I mean I could be greatly underestimating myself but I'm currently expecting around 10-20 people to show up. Though even if it ends up being a small amount of people, I want those channels to be there for any new people that may come in when the invite is active (which to start will be seven days max and new invites won't be sent out regularly).

I'm currently thinking of a general chat and channels for each member but I need your guys' feedback.

Okay none of you guys stopped me when I said that I was gonna go insane with the fandom names so I had no choice but to come up with some bullshit (p.s. I'm not done with the aesthetics of everything alongside OTHER important things but the names will definitely stay the same if you guys like them). Amprule and 1nm8's fan names were also suggested by someone so I decided to put them in.

Also I said this in a reblog, but I'll say it here again just 'cause I know not everyone will see it: The group fandom you choose to associate as (like your oshi group) vs the groups you like will be completely different. Just so that any group that you want to display as your favourite won't be overriden by another group because they're higher in the server list.

Also thinking of making the groups you like and the group fandom you want to be associated with separate because depending on where they are on the role list, another group that isn't your oshi could override what role you're seen as in the server (which makes it frustrating for people who like multiple groups like me)

So I'm setting up the discord right now and I just wanted to know what you guys want the fan roles to be called? I mean the TCW one will be a reference to the Kitty Heads and Visty's will be to do with Stellas, but if I'm left to my own insanity I might name BAE's something like 'Bitch Ass Enbies'

So I'm not sure if I should prematurely unpause the queue to my ryuu blog (where most of the posts in there are unfinished) or just leave it as it is until it dies, but I do think you guys deserve the draft that I had after Ryuu supposedly was on Tumblr for too long:

[incomplete-ruler]

Hokuryuu and Reoshiki GIF+shitpost (ParaStage)

Okay so I'm just clearing out my drafts right now and I absolutely NEEDED you guys to see the Hokuryuu and Reoshiki stuff I made awhile ago for the CHILLIN' performance in ParaStage before Tumblr is erased. I'll also be reposting these along with all the other edits/shitposts I posted on bsky and in the discord server (and maybe even on dreamwidth because that place looks bright so far).

So yeah here's this Hokuryuu gif I made from one of the moments that killed me the most in the whole performance (THEY'RE SO CUTE AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH):

And there's also this screenshot I took where it looks like Reo is ascending/trying to convert Shiki to 1nm8ism (or so it seems):

I never got to finish the other reoshiki gif (well technically two but they're different versions of the same thing) for this scene before all this shit happened, but for those that won't be around to see it just imagine the scene above but with a caption like:

Reo: Shiki! You must accept Keisus into your heart! Shiki: O-Ok

like i said in my previous post i've been watching the mdzs donghua with my friends (who haven't read the books) and we got to the scene where Wen Qing is introduced and she looks WAY different than i imagined her in the books (i imagined her being sharper and more mature, if that makes sense? similar to madam yu but a bit younger) so the rounder more androgynous look threw me off for a bit but honestly i love it

like i was just imagining a generic woman design but this? this right here is a tired lesbian. this is a woman who went through several years of med school and came out a bad bitch who don't give a damn. she's not conforming to the male gaze and that's very sexy of her. i want to kiss her even more than i already did.
