#anyway. wat ever

(ALERT. WARNING. OPINIONS EXPRESSED IN THE FOLLOWING POST ARE NOT MEANT TO INSINUATE I THINK THAT PEOPLE WHO USE TONE TAGS ARE BAD OR HAVE BAD INTENTIONS. I AM SIMPLY POINTING OUT SOME OF MY FRUSTRATIONS WITH THEM AND HOW THEY WORK, OR RATHER DO NOT WORK, IN AN EXAGGERATEDLY ANGRY/LOUD MANNER AT A HYPOTHETICAL SITUATION, NOT A SPECIFIC PERSON OR PERSONS OR INCIDENT, AND IT WASN'T EVEN THE MAIN POINT OF THE POST I WAS ORIGINALLY WRITING WHICH WAS JUST ABOUT SOME ANNOYING OVER-COMMENTED STUFF ON MY POST. ALERT. WARNING)

i am still pleased and amazed at the amount of people on my tone indicator parantheticals post who AREN'T being weird and aggro, but i will say. while i got tired of the aggro ones the moment the first one showed up i have also grown tired of the "this is just tumblr tags/congrats you just reinvented tumblr tags" observation. it has been made many times, i can never tell if it's a teasing joke or if they're seriously like "umm dumbass this is the same thing" (because of course they are not paired with any indication of intent, such as a word encased in a pair of parentheses, because for some reason being overfamiliar with strangers on the internet has become very normalized, and they just expect that if they say things to people they have never met that the person they say that to will be able to tell whether they are kidding or trying to insult them, which is highly variable per person) and either way it's like...

i mean. yeah. on tumblr, that is the same thing as what you could use the tags for

but tumblr isn't a messaging app

even its in-built dms do not have tags

if you are using discord if you type a # it would prompt you to pick a channel you are referring to

The Primary Location You Would Use Tone Indicators Is In Conversation With Others And Tumblr Is Technically A Blogging Platform

also a bunch of people are like "ummm or you could just put it in the SENTENCE like a NORMAL PERSON" and first of all shut up. secondly nowhere in the post did i say that i specifically would rather someone use random parantheticals instead of just stating their intent in the actual sentence, i said i would prefer parantheticals over highly abbreviated tone tags. obviously i would prefer people just say properly what they mean, that is literally what i do when i have a genuine question to ask, i don't do "what do you mean (genuine) (sincere question) (confused)" i say "sorry i'm a little confused, what do you mean by xyz?". literally did not fucking say that i think parantheticals would be better than just saying what you actually mean to begin with IN the initial question. however THIRDLY sometimes you just fucking have adhd or the conversation is fast and you don't think to phrase it carefully. and in that situation you might realize after you already sent the message that it's ambiguous what you meant or if you were sincere, so you send like "(JOKE)" or "genuine question" or if you make a reference "(you know like xyz meme/show/game)" immediately afterwards so people know and can respond appropriately. and i would so much rather see people spell the fucking thing out instead of saying /j or /gen or god forbid /ref (WHAT!!! ARE YOU FUCKING REFERENCING!!! YOU CAN'T JUST SAY IT'S A REFERENCE AND LEAVE IT AT THAT THAT DOESN'T HELP!!! WHY IS THAT EVEN A TONE TAG!!! YOU HAVEN'T GIVEN ME ANY CONTEXT FOR IT, THIS IS NOT A TONE TO INDICATE, IT DOESN'T INDICATE ANYTHING, I COULD PROBABLY TELL FROM THE PHRASING TO BEGIN WITH THAT IT WAS SOME KIND OF REFERENCE ANYWAY, YOU HAVE GIVEN ME ZERO INFORMATION AAUUAUAAAAGGGGHHH the fucking autistic person who would not be able to tell that you were making a reference without the tag would probably also not be able to tell what the goddamn joke was supposed to be! i AM that autistic person sometimes!!! you cannot just /ref your way out of that if you are ACTUALLY TRYING to HELP AUTISTIC PEOPLE then make it clear you can be ASKED TO CLARIFY THINGS and then SUCK IT UP AND EXPLAIN THE JOKE EVEN IF IT MAKES IT LESS FUNNY!!! and this is entirely specific to Me who has never once wanted someone to use tone tags even when i do ask for clarification on something, but if you don't want to ruin your joke by explaining it and i already Understood that it was a joke, the /ref and or /j you put on it is actually. equivalent. to explaining the joke and ruining it...... because in this scenario i knew it was a joke already...)

ahem. anyway. i think the people who say "ummm orrr you could just bake it into the sentence :/" do not realize they are the ones being stupid while calling me stupid. because of the fact that they cannot read the post, where i don't say even once that i don't agree with them, because i am talking about something else, which is that if you gave me a choice between tone tags or tone parantheticals i would choose parantheticals

conversely i'm NOT tired of the elcor comparison, even a little bit, even though that one was also made a thousand times. i actually like that one a lot. i never played mass effect or anything i just think that's funny and cool. entire species that has autism... so beautiful ♡

my secret santa gift for @evilfarmin!!! ^__^ featuring stoplight loosejaw mermaid etho bc that's my fav fishy <3

ID: digital fanart of EthosLab as a mermaid against a white background. He has dark green, dark blue, dark purple, and black scales that cover his neck, torso, tail, and the top of his forearms. His mask is made of seaweed and he has red bioluminescent photophores under his eyes.

On the upper left, he is drawn from the shoulders up with a casual expression while looking off to the side.

On the upper middle, he is drawn from the shoulders up with an angry expression while looking at the viewer. His photophores are glowing bright red, and he is against a dark ocean background. Above him is a photo of a stoplight loosejaw in real life.

On the upper right, he is drawn from the neck up at a side view with his eyes closed. He has his mask off, showing his jaw that resembles a stoplight loosejaw's. It has an extra hinge hidden underneath and sharp teeth.

On the middle left, his eyes are drawn looking at the viewer with a casual expression. His right eye is blue, his left eye is red, and there are two red photophores underneath both of his eyes. He also has a pale scar over his left eye.

On the bottom, he is drawn swimming with his right hand resting behind his head and his left hand pointing up a finger gun with sparkles drawn around it. He has a carefree expression, and his scale color slowly shifts from dark green at his neck to dark blue at his hips to dark purple at the base of his fins to black at the tips of his fins. End ID

sorry for the constant questions y’all, but another one (it’s not a poll this time so don’t worry):

If I started trying to bring a bit more attention to my original species (Floserds), is that annoying and selfish & me being a nueisense?

[arvoze]

the power i will receive in a matter of days will be astounding. watch out

[derpinette]

i could never understand fujoshis because i already loathe seeing any male in charged implications of any type let alone TWO of them

[peach-pot]

watching a tv show where you know something horrible happens later on and you know the circumstances that surround it’s happening. so when things start to lead up to that you can see it coming not just in the specific foreshadowing but in the other details of the show that line up at that time. unique kind of sadness.

[iheartmyipod]

dont understandhow people are able to get into 50000 things at once.my brain can only think of one single thing for 7-13 months and then i get so sad because it becomes like hot cheetos that you eat every day and its gross and weird now.....(dont eat exclusively hot cheetos for months btw.yu will never know peace in your.organs.) and then and only then does my brain decide to latch onto something else and the cycle continues...what will be my next victim...

[darthlenaplant]

It's actually kinda funny.

Like.

I do GET where the MobRei/ReiMob shippers are coming from, but on the other hand I just sit there like...

Reigen may be scummiest piece of shit on this earth but he's not THAT sort of scummy piece of shit on this earth.

Actually, I also kinda doubt that he'd go for Serizawa either.

Not ~ONLY~ because that dude just SCREAMS AroAce vibes all over the fucking place (I mean. Hello? Season 2 Episode 3?*)

But also because Reigen doesn't seem like the sort of person who'd go after his subordinates/underlings/employees (which Mob and Serizawa ARE).

(Hehehe, this actually gives me kinda tragic backstory ideas for him, like another, secret reason why he stopped working at an office and started to work on his own to be his own boss) (and before you ask, no, I will most likely not write it, because I am not a writer.)

JUST BEFORE EVERYONE STARTS SHIT WITH ME LIKE THE MEDIA DID IN SEASON 2, I AM NOT AGAINST ANY SHIPPING, AND I ACTUALLY LIKE ALL THE SHIPPY ART (BECAUSE IT'S FUCKING CUTE AND AWESOME AND YOU ALL ARE SO FUCKING TALENTED AND I LOVE YOU ALL!!!

*) Dude's at least questioning if "Love" NEEDS to have "sexual stuff" involved, and that's just one of THE Ace takes. (Sure, the straighties do KNOW about "familial love", but they don't seem to categorize it as "love", y'know? I dunno, just from what I see they're really weird about the concept of love anyway...

Does anyone else, when they hear the song "Last Christmas" think she's just going through an endless loop of guys leaving her right after Christmas? Like she's telling every guy who dumps her she's gonna give her heart to "someone special" next year as if that's not what she supposedly did this year?
