[happyheidi]

I hope you don’t mind me saying but that computer post with fish inside? None of those are big enough for the fish species present, and likely lack good filtration. I wouldn’t reblog it cause it encourages bad fish welfare and fish hurt :(

I totally agree! I also have a thing with fishes in small spaces so it’s weird that I even rb it in the first place 🤔… I’m so glad you kinda checked me cus it was a needed check <3 and I deleted the reblog. My dream is to have an aquarium (again) and even teeny tiny fishes needs a big space to swim around 🐠 🐟 fish power 💙💙

love u, fierce fish friend 🐡 . That’s your anon name from now on btw 😁

Which TSC characters do you think would be the biggest swifties?

im stoned as BALLS so DO NOT rb this (you are encouraged to reply)

matthew 10000% is the #1 biggest. his favorite eras 1989, reputation, tortured poet department. but he likes all. kinda like me, i have eras i like more and some i like less but i like all eras <3

thomas loves fearless and lover. alastair is not a swiftie. he only likes some songs from folklore and evermore. but he loves thomas so so much and lets him play it in the plane and in the train, not in a boat not in a ferry and definitely, definitely not through a mirror. that was not relevant. anyway, he lets thomas play it all over the place. <3333 thomas and alastair are genuinely the perfect ship. they fit together in all of the right ways and make the jagged edges whole. i just think they are so sweet together and bring the best in each other, and i think they challenge each other and also support each other.

but i digress. another swiftie group i think is clary, simon, isabelle, and magnus. not jace and alec. but clary is a speak now girlie. simon and isabelle both like midnights best and they will go to the roof in their apartment and play it on spotify and dance around to it in the middle of the night. i think simon does a dorky bad rendition of the midnight rain synth and izzy thinks it's hilarious. (also have i mentioned that bdilh is like. the ultimate sizzy song for me. okay). oh and magnus loves evermore btw not just the bubble pop albums. he likes those but evermore connects with him on the deepest level. it's about how not all things lasts forever but there's good in the fleeting things too, and he vibes

ummmm okay so objectively speaking i am sorry to say that emma carstairs has hardcore swiftie vibes. at least .... others close to her do not. god i want to like down bad SO badly

kieran probably likes it a lot too lol it would be so fun, he would understand like half the lyrics and mark and cristina would be soentertained

ALSO HOT TAKE BUT WILL. WILL FUCKING HERONDALE. HE WOULD LOVE RED, FOLKLORE, AND MIDNIGHTS. YOU CANNT CHANGE MY MIND.

Redbubble sent me a tote for free recently so I can see the quality, and it's pretty good, although I have mixed feelings about the art being blown up (tote is 13x13) bigger than actual size (original is 9x12, which means the art was resized up by like 40% bc margins) since you can reeeeeaallly see all the imperfections in the actual art lol.

All the spotchy brown ink is there in the original! The tote replicates it perfectly! On the bright side, if you get the tote a lil dirty, no one will notice lol.

The tote has a lined black interior, which is a nice step up and will probably have the tote last longer since it won't be directly damaged by whatever you're putting in it.

I think I'll probably give this one away via my extremely neglected newsletter/email list, or you can get this on RB directly since it's Big Sale Season over there.

I am once again not running any sales in my personal store because tbh I don't really want to encourage waiting for this hectic season to buy stuff. If you want stuff, you can get it yearround and it will all be the same. ✌️

Push/Pull is having 15% off ONLINE today through Wednesday though. If you're local to Seattle, can you stop by their store in Ballard for secret deals. They still have the framed original of this painting available, btw. Go get 15% off that, maybe.

PS. Ceasefire now. Call your reps, etc.

i'm watching the boys, i'm in the middle of s2ep4 and if anything happens to the families of the main cast i'll cry a RIVER they're all so easy to care for

now you may wonder why would i tell you this apart from the somewhat acquired pretense to be interesting and thus listened to? because of this one character named billy butcher, who can remind anyone in numerous ways of toji (wont say anything because EVERYTHING has spoilers, the plot twists/events of this series are rlly good imo)

you know what really gets me a lot of the time irl or in characters? the voice. suguru's voice in jap is INCREDIBLE (nanami's too, it's so good that sometimes i'm sad i can't bring myself to like him as much as my 4 favs), toji's is rich.. butcher's is AMAZING. he's got this accent and it's just so incredibly attractive (and soooo goddam cute) if you never watched the boys i encourage you to give it a try whenever you're free 😚

personally i'm hooked and it's so sad because i have tons of books to read before september and for some reason i cant read them as fast as i can with anything (probably cuz their style is naturally hard to grasp but still)

take care as always mickey, giving you a BIGGGGGG HUG

(oh btw saw a tiger yawning you will never understand how much tiger sukuna lives in my head- also for ur rb of him feeding you parts of himself!!! i just wanna reiterate that you're going to LOVE madk)

~ ☀️

SUNNNYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE THE BOYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I WAS JUST THINKING ABT REWATCHING THE WHOLE THING LMAO AND AND AND I THINK YOU'RE VERY CORRECT ABT BILLY AND TOJI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i do think that they're very similar... from the crazy background and past to the i will do anything and everything for my family.... wahhhh i love them both sm!!!!!!!!!!!!!! you're gonna love the next seasons and you're gonna hate them lmao there's a lot going on!!!!!!

WAHHH I HOPE YOU CAN STILL MANAGE TO READ ALL OF YOUR BOOKS BEFORE SEPTEMBER THOUGH!!!!!!!!!!!!! i know how hard it is to read on command lmao that is not for the weak but i am keeping you in my thoughts nevertheless!!!!!!!!!!! AND I'M GIVING YOU A HUG BACK HEHEHEHEEH A BONE CRUSHING ONEEE>:333333333

barb

putting a tw at the beginning of this because i probably should. tw for religious trauma (including some mormon terminology), mention of fungi, homophobia (including derogatory use of the word queer), dysfunctional parenting, grief/mourning, alcoholism, bad mental health times all round, some tough parts of the therapeutic process

really i didn't expect this to get heavy part way through so if you want to skip the worst bit (aftermath of the banana incident), it's most of the next rb. :)

(btw i am nevermo, correct me if i got something wrong)

born on the 21st of december, 1934 in provo, utah

was raised in the latter day saints

had a keen interest in chemistry from the time she could express it, but because sciences were discouraged for the girls in her family, learned mostly about the science in domestic work

amazing baker, had the exact ratios for each ingredient memorised by the time she started school

became fascinated by fermentation and saw the scoby and starters as her pets, watching them make bubbles for hours on end

learned the old burning-things-with-a-magnifying-glass trick, but only used it for leaves because the ants didn't deserve that

one time when she was 6, she made chloroform out of cleaning chemicals, put it in a glass bottle, and smashed it in front of her bullies to see what would happen

(she got in trouble for that)

(worth it)

just before school started, her parents noticed that she would always hold books very close to her face, amongst other things, and when they took her to the doctor she became the proud owner of some incredibly nifty glasses, if she did say so herself

only had one friend in school, alma merrill, who she thought was kind and funny and beautiful and...

just the greatest

even though she didn't understand what barb meant when she talked about exothermic reactions, she'd still sit there and nod along, and she had so many exciting things to say in return even though it wasn't what barb usually liked

when she grew up, she wanted her husband to be just like alma

when they were 13, alma was told to stay away from her because she was 'queer, and not only in the loony way' (neither barb nor alma could figure out what that meant)

after that, she focused most of her time on her studies, which her parents were now suddenly encouraging of

("at least it'll keep her away from sin," she heard her parents whisper when they thought she wasn't there)

graduated high school at 15, youngest ever at her school

brigham young university wouldn't let her in until she was 16, so she took a gap year

she was told to stay on the property except for church, but as long as she did her chores and continued to learn household management, she was allowed to do whatever she wanted

she took this opportunity to study mechanical engineering, watching her father teach her brothers how to fix the mower then reading about engine torque

she knew that her ideas on how to make it go faster wouldn't be listened to, so she told her younger brother, isaiah, what to say and let him take the credit

he needed the praise, but it still hurt

but it was overshadowed by how good it felt to be right when her idea worked

at university, she was a bit too young to participate in the whole courtship thing that made up the backbone of social life there

she couldn't understand why her peers would choose to do all that for just some guy, but maybe she just wasn't old enough yet

graduated an accelerated course, a bs in applied physics with a minor in biochemistry, in 1954 at 19 years old

immediately applied for work in the military for the travel benefits

worked her way up very quickly since the need for chemical and nuclear weapons was increasing and they needed an innovative mind

at first it was weird, the way things were so different outside the church, but eventually she came around to the office culture of relaxed chatting over coffee while on break

and huh, come to think of it, the people she met were all different, and most of them seemed like pretty decent people to her

there wasn't an exact moment that cracked her belief, more just an increasing awareness of her own cognitive dissonance

and when she was invited to come back to provo for her endowment, she didn't respond

in late 1955, she got an offer from the a.s.s. to join their equipment development program for field agents where she would get full reign over what she did, and how could she say no to that?

and, ok, so there's this one guy, right? he's a field agent, his name is curt, and he's infuriating, but very conventionally attractive, and you know, theoretically, it wouldn't be awful to date him

is this what a crush is?

she thinks this is probably what a crush is

it takes a lot of work to feel this way, but she's pretty sure that she could be, no, is attracted to him

and she gets to be the one to supervise him on missions!!

but the issue is that curt has this friend and they're always together

if she wants to date this guy, she has to find some alone time, so she has to get rid of the friend

however... this guy, curt's friend, he's shockingly competent at his job, and he stops curt from dying constantly

plus, he's nice to barb, even if it's in that weird stiff british way all the mi6 guys seem to be

and one day, when she's briefing them on a tool neither of them have ever used before (of course they haven't, barb invented it herself), this friend, who's been staring behind her the entire time, says 'why don't you make the handle smaller? that way it's not as bulky and makes it easier to press the buttons on the right in a combat situation'

and oh.

the answer was that simple.

from then on, he stops being known as 'curt's friend (british)' and starts being 'owen (my best friend)'

they become each others' sounding boards, each of them dumping all their ideas out and talking through it with each other

barb knows how all the technical stuff for how her inventions work, but owen is detached enough to not overthink it and just state the obvious that she forgot

owen is continually formulating arguments and debates; why he should get a raise, why his partner (who barb still hasn't met yet, she hopes she'll get to meet her some day) should consider his point of view in conversation before going off on a tangent about something that wasn't even what he suggested, why whatever politics going on in england actually does affect his siblings, etc.

picking apart his arguments and playing the devil's advocate is one of barb's favourite things

curt is an unwilling participant in this little club of theirs, and often provides what she assumes he thinks is comedic relief

and for the first time, barb is content with how things are going for her

vani. my buddy my pal. any tips for dealing with bpd beyond "fantasize about destroying social bonds because god wouldn't that be nice". thanks (this is to say we're going through it) -🪴

oh damn yeah i can try to help a lil

find a healthy(ish) coping mechanism. for me when i get the urge to irrationally block people/lash out/etc, i either go play a game (i play rhythm games a lot bc it makes me focus on something else), just remove myself from the situation (i have a side account where i've blocked a lot of people off of it and go over there to scream and cool off and rb characters from games and shit), or just kinda. destroy stuff (WITHIN REASON). there has been a few times where i've dragged out old work from high school and just ripped papers into shreds to calm down. don't go like, throwing the good china at the walls or anything, just rip up some old school work or some scrap papers.

if you have the ability to, talk to someone. i can hash stuff out with sonata sometimes (if he's not actively encouraging me to be worse, or feeding into my delusions), other times i talk to my brother if they're willing, and they help me work stuff out. my dms and stuff are always open if ya need to talk, too :3 also just? talk to the person bothering you if you can in a rational way? (or even in a sort of "irrational" way, if they understand what you're dealing with). it helps me a lot to just clear out my feelings, and sometimes whatever's bothering you can be avoided in the future. or you'll just get told you're being irrational, which in my case kind of helps sometimes skgdhds

uh internal affairs can also help!!! like me and my headmates kinda have agreements for when i start getting a bit uppity and they're working on failsafes to kinda? make it less bad? for lack of a better way to describe it? so they just kinda. take over sometimes. if i'm being particularly irrational and petulant. so maybe working out something with your headmates can help out? (and if any of your guys share ur bpd sometimes it helps to have someone to scream with, even internally... unless they are enabling you/making you worse)

but yeah bpd is. a bitch. the best things i can offer you is to First, find something to calm down with, even a little. and then Second, go talk to whoever is bothering you (if you can) to try and work something out, or at least just get a better perspective on yourself. sometimes you're just being an irrational ass who's annoyed that your fp is spending time with other people... and sometimes you end up crying bc you think your fp is abandoning you bc they didn't say good morning to you at the normal time bc they fell asleep on accident. <- actual thing that happened to me. btw. so ! you just kinda gotta find what works best for you. i get my mind offa stuff with games, and try not to stew too hard in my own anger. although that doesn't always work, i am a very angry creature when worked up apparently. do ur best sys anon. if you need me i am here :3

[existing-in-nonexistence]

Common dpdr-related paranoias I've had throughout my life:

I'm in a simulation box in a lab, and things only materialize when I'm within 5 feet of them in this current "real" world. Aside from that they're holograms (primary age: ??? - ~14)

I'm a brain in a jar and scientists are poking at me to make me perceive things (13 - ???)

One specific person from my life is somehow controlling every aspect of my life and watching everything they make happen (15/16-18/19)

Oh holy shit I'm dreaming right now actually none of this is real oh my god (???-present)

Nothing is fucking real but I've made peace w it and am trying to enjoy what I can bc even if these things and people aren't real the emotions I have are so (20-present)

[tatuine-blog1]

*vampire voice* good evening

[ghostwinchesters]

just a friendly reminder that wanting to die doesn’t make you weak. the fact that you are still alive and still fighting means you’re strong as fuck actually.

[cyancherub]

Hey sorry if you already answered this before but how did you start writing and putting your work out there? It's so hard trying to put myself out there when no ones paying attention.

That got kinda deep lol I love your writing btw <3

hello !!! so i actually started off reading (and then writing) on AO3! i posted my work on there for a while before i got on here because tumblr seemed really confusing to me at the time 😩 but i liked the interaction that i saw on here so i ended up making an account !!!

as for posting things and getting traction (at least in my experience), making use of the (character) x reader, (fandom) x reader, (character) smut, and (fandom) smut tags is the biggest piece of advice i can give you. that’s how people will see your work, especially when you’re starting off with a smaller following.

you can take a look at my writing tag and see how i tag fics for various fandoms and characters at the bottom of each post. there are different ways to spell and order character names (e.g. itadori yuuji vs itadori yuji vs yuji itadori... and so on) and also fandom names (e.g. jjk vs jujutsu kaisen) so i tend to tag them all (e.g. jujutsu kaisen x reader and jjk x reader). it might seem redundant and im not sure how much this step in particular helps but it’s what i’ve been doing since the get go and it’s worked for me!

also pay attention to the times at which tumblr is most active. that’ll be the prime time to post because there are more people online. i don’t know when exactly this is? but i THINK (from what i’ve heard/seen), tumblr tends to be more active from 3-6pm EST, and weekdays are more active than weekends. you can queue posts to go out at more active times, so there’ll be more people browsing the x reader and other tags (and also the dash) when a fic drops.

make a taglist for your upcoming work and encourage people to join it too! that’s a good way to make sure that your work gets seen since things often get lost/buried on the dash. and that’ll encourage interaction (especially reblogging) which will make your work rise up in popularity in the x reader and other tags that i mentioned previously.

keep in mind that there are different factors that’ll influence how well your work does. character popularity (e.g. bakugou pieces almost always will do better than denki pieces, just because more people like his character), themes in your writing, etc.

my point here is not to encourage you to write more popular characters for more notes, but to reassure you that notes aren’t a reflection of how good your work is. don’t get down on yourself if certain things don’t do well. don’t let that dissuade you. write for yourself — that’s the most important thing!

and you can always send your work to me, i’d be happy to read + rb!!!! 💖 i think a lot of great work on this site gets lost because the algorithm is kind of finicky and hard to deal with. it can be discouraging when it feels like no one’s paying attention, but if writing is something that brings you joy, keep going!

i hope that helps!!!

[graceful-not]

Alright.. this is kind of a brain dump, really. Just some things I've been letting boil in my brain for a bit... This might be kinda long though, so I'll be putting it under a read more.

SBSBBSBS NOTE: THIS ISNT LIKE SOME VENT OR ANYTHING ITS about the officialverse/general writing shit and like. Me analyzing stuff. Bc. I want to. The topics gonna jump a lot.

Oh edit btw forgot to mention; it's perfectly fine to RB!! I encourage it I love seeing y'all's thoughts on my stuff. Please argue with me (in a safe and loving way)

Idk... It's just. The whole point of a RP is that it's a multiple person experience, yeah, but there are parts of a character that people have made that need to see light. I generally make support characters so everyone else can go buckwild and have fun (being the healer in RPGs, etc etc etc), and that doesn't just carry over to stats. If you look at Lyra, she's a genuinely interesting person with a rich past, and she FEELS real! Why is that? Because, well.. she doesn't infodump about her life to every person she meets- I can't really speak because the way I make characters is that I start with what they look like and a general base personality/backstory, plus things their good at, make the rest up as I rp (plus revise old stuff). She wasn't always a licensed therapist, I just looked at how everyone else was going and molded her character to fit the current group while she was still new and impressionable- she filled the roles that were lacking. When there's an excess angst, you need a person for your character to spill their traumatic past to. Shes that person, and it helps for her to be professionally qualified to do it, so it's never out of character.

But.. the group has changed. A lot. And I've rped things in the past that make ZERO sense for her character. (She was low-key manipulative at some points-) and with the whole The Haze(period of time in which no one was rping and online for like. A WHIILE.) Everyone's characters have changed and.. she can't really keep up with the status quo. All this stuff changing and moving and shifting- I mean she's trying to be supportive but I can't even really let her have a proper mental breakdown so she can grow because the narrative is dealing with way more important things!!!! There's no time! People might die!!

..

I guess, pulling back into what I was talking about earlier with the infodumping.. RP is supposed to be fun, absolutely correct!! Don't be perfect. Do fuck all. Screw around!!!! But.. it has to be fun for everyone, you know? There's like. The general rp rules, (don't kill another person's character without consent, don't be an asshole or no one will reply to ur rp threads,) etc etc but.. an important one is to just.

Give breathing room.

Let the characters breathe. In between arcs, allow time for fluff or recovery yeah, but also make sure that.. you don't pile things on. You risk pushing people out of the narrative when you put extra things in. For example, Vina, Ellie, Wasabi and Lyra totally just got overshadowed, which makes sense because flower was having a HER moment!! Lots of exiting plot is happening for her and I'm proud! Except then there's all the M!As and then brainwashing anon who may or may not tie into the previous stuff, and then ALSO e!lavender and now their in a forest? Which makes sense for flower I guess but how the fuck did vina get there? Inviz?

I guess just. Don't pile on problem after problem or idea after idea before you solve one. Sub plots are needed, yes, but sub plots should either be there for breathing room or to further the greater narrative, which is currently like. Whatever the fuck happened during The Haze, what the fucks up with this corporation,etc etc. current subplots that further that would be like BW(brainwashing) anon, Flowers whole metal thing, etc etc.

There's obviously going to be personal plots!! Plots that your character is working on within them. Lyra worrying and sorta having a crisis about all the shit happening, Wasabi's recovery, Inviz trying to find out what the fuck happened with his anon blaster. Those are all things that only a select few people really interfere with, and theyre instead explained through thoughts and narration.

Also: UTILIZE NARRATION PLEAAASSE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD I love you all but DIALOGUE IS NOT THE ONLY WAY TO SHOW EMOTION your repressed character dealing with extreme trauma isn't gonna go

"Oh im just here because I'm new and my parents abandoned me here because they knew the chief and were about to die, the wings are from my mom who is an angel."

"oh yea where's the bathroom btw" PLEAASE let your characters SHOW their internal dialogue, like maybe

"OH- sorry, still getting used to this where's the bathroom?"

What she didn't want to say was that it was actually her first day. She attempted to hide her wings by folding them into her back. She didnt want any questions about it, even if she would like to talk about it to someone..

That gives the other person space to let their character decide if they notice the other person looking a bit distressed, and for both of you to sort of get to know how each others characters interact BEFORE jumping into the heavy plot. Give it time!

Alright bye love y'all ❤️
