With all possible respect, if y’all want to make a difference in the Free Palestine movement, you’ve got to shift your effort toward something that isn’t hating a specific celebrity. If you want to help, spread information and awareness. Donate where you can, interact with internet users who are donating to relief organizations, protest if you can, call your representatives. The US government doesn’t care if you stop supporting this or that celebrity or food chain, but they’ll have to take notice when you protest and refuse to be silenced.

the #radio silence tagging problem in the hazbin fandom

said I would make a more eye-catching psa about this, here it is

**although #radiosilence WITHOUT the space is better than #radio silence with the space, I would still like to discourage it, will elaborate later

and 90% of the time, they will listen and change accordingly.

and oh yeah. about that book.

Why shouldn't #radio silence be used?

Radio Silence is the name of a book set in the heartstopper universe by alice oseman.

(which also features a canon aspec character, pictured on the right: aled last!)

and as such: #radio silence is their MAIN FANDOM tag. it is inconsiderate to flood their tag with content from another fandom, especially one as popular as hazbin hotel. but unfortunately, this is something that is already happening because of radiosilence as a ship tag.

and if you're not convinced this is something that bothers radio silence fans, here's some input from the fans themselves:

Wait, so is #radiosilence without the space still fine to use?

it's better than the mistagging of #radio silence with the space. but ONLY on tumblr, because on tumblr, we're allowed the privilege of adding spaces to tags.

I still would like to discourage it though, because for as long as this tag is popularly in use, there will constantly be people mistagging it with a space. I've done what I could to nudge people to fix their tagging but I can't constantly keep this up.

plus, on other sites such as tiktok and twitter, #radiosilence IS literally the main tag for the book because you literally can't add spaces for tags on those sites. so the radio silence book fandom is likely even more drowned out on those sites than here on tumblr because of the popularisation of #radiosilence as a tag for one-sided radiostatic.

I will not be forcing anyone to ditch #radiosilence without the space as a tag though, especially when it's already so popularly used and essentially impossible to get everyone to change it, but I encourage you to go for other options if you are willing to such as:

#onewaybroadcast

decided via a poll last month that was ongoing before #radiosilence was initially popularised, held by ChaoticAce2005 and me.

it's the tag that I always use for one-sided radiostatic and is decently used by others as well! and you won't run into any issue with clashing with the radio silence/osemanverse fandom at all this way. but again, I will not force you, all I ask is that AT THE VERY LEAST, don't tag #radio silence with the space and to nudge others to change it if they do.

please help to silence the radio silence tag!

(the tagging issue on tiktok and twitter are outside of my jurisdiction as I don't engage with hazbin on twitter and I don't even use tiktok, but if possible, it would be appreciated if anyone is able to spread the alternate tag #onewaybroadcast on those sites too to discourage flooding the radio silence book fandom! I believe the original person to coin #radiosilence has been doing work to discourage it on tiktok too, any help is appreciated!)

Super funny to me when podcast bros try to say that bright makeup and colored hair is a deterrent to men because in nature those colors are indicative of poison. Sure, they’re poisonous. To predators. Is there something you’d like to share with the class?

“Why would I go to a convention when there’s cosplayers?” Why would you go to a beach when there’s water?

[local-redhead-bookworm]

god this will probably be the only time I say this because I don't like using the tag to begin with but if you want to tag #radiosilence for one-sided radiostatic, PLEASE, at the very least, don't include a space. type it as one word: #radiosilence. I already take issue with the tag as it is but in tagging #radio silence, with the space, you're using and flooding the main tag that is supposed to be for the alice oseman book "radio silence" (which also has a canon aspec character apparently!)

please let people from that fandom have their tag without being flooded with hazbin hotel I am begging you

If you guys were on here at 11 years old what would you be posting about

[local-redhead-bookworm]

Wait, no, I’ve found THE moth!

The rosy ermine moth! The coloring is spot-on, and they’re native to Colombia, Venezuela, Ecuador, Brazil, and Peru, which makes sense with Val being Hispanic

As for Angel, I have two theories. One is the pink crab flower spider, because their coloration is perfect, but it’s commonly only found in females.

The second pictured here is a pink jumping spider. This coloration is rare and most jumping spiders tend to be brown, but these little guys dance as part of their mating rituals, which is consistent with Angel.

any other bug loving Hazbin fans? I'm kind of obsessed with figuring out inspiration sources for them. I'm at a complete loss on Val since he seems a little generic, but I've got guesses on Vaggie and Angel.

Vaggie: Hawkmoth, yes? That's the only moth type I know that matches this silhouette.

But of course that's not a specific species. I'm not sure what exact moth she'd be.

Angel... white hairy field spider?? He's kind of such a blob that it's hard to guess (not an art critique just makes me wonder if his design is far removed from a possible inspiration source.)

Val eludes me. He makes me think of a recolored Many-spotted Tiger Moth, maybe? (Also can someone please tell google images that Lanternflies are, in fact, planthoppers. Which look Nothing Like moths.)

or possibly a Crimson-speckled Flunkey Moth?

Man. I dunno. help. I need an adult :(

Also, does anyone know what the arm rules are for insect and spider demons. Technically Vaggie should have two sets (although maybe they're cheating and consider her wings arms), and Angel should have three. I can't figure it out.

Also I'd LOVE to see a character based on an armored harvestman. Look at this lil tanked up bastard man.

Anyway I'd love input from the 'bug' loving souls of the fandom!

Has your #1 comfort character committed a crime?

[local-redhead-bookworm]

Neil Banging Out The Tunes turns 18 today!!!

Happy birthday little buddy !!!! To celebrate, I allowed Neil to partake in many of the legal privileges that one acquires upon turning 18:

[local-redhead-bookworm]

but no yeah lets have the conversation:

"the CEO doesnt want to run that kind of website" Excuse, shouldnt have bought the 'go nuts show nuts whatever' website if thats the case. APPEAL DENIED

"we have to follow the TOS of the appstores we're hosted on" Excuse item one, no you dont, item two, you have since those days implimented infrastructure that would allow pornography and sex work on this platform Without violating TOS of any applicable app store. APPEAL DENIED

"we own the site we get to make the rules" Incorrect, this site has only ever made profit when the users willed it. we collectively own the site as a hive mind and no legal change in ownership will change that. APPEAL DENIED

"we have to keep this website safe for the children who use it" Argument based on fallacy banning pornography and sex workers does not prevent pornography and sex work from occuring on the site, it only forces aforementioned users to hide and avoid labling their content appropriately, which REDUCES the safety for children and sex workers alike instead of increasing it, this has been shown to the point that making this argument at all is tantamount to admiting fascist intent APPEAL DENIED
