#delete/block. not taking it personally and not worth thinking about

[lock-my-feelings-in-a-jar]

Please BE EXCITED about stuff you like/ want to be excited about 💞 That's what life supposed to be about, finding joy in the smallest things, in the things we enjoy and love. And the people that judge us for having that joy in our hearts lose their own life, because they spend too much time judging someone else's life instead of doing something with their own. FUCK them

this is one of my favorite asks and i love you

An Open Letter to the BSD Fandom

Long post incoming. TL;DR: fuck fandom bullying. Full stop.

Fellow BSDers,

I have been writing for the BSD fandom since August 2021, where I started to write my way out of my big traumas. Somehow, with one image in my head, I started the CAU with A Drop of Black Coffee in the Pot. I'm not entirely sure if that makes me a "big name" in the fandom or whether that gives what I'm about to say more "clout," but hey... it's worth a shot, yeah? Because maybe people will listen.

Maybe.

Since coming into this fandom, I've made a lot of friends through Discord, and I have had a blast creating for, with, and among them. Through Discord, I became a rare pair aficionado and gained a soft spot for Chuuatsu, ChuuRan, and others. The conversations I had with fans, in short, brought me more than peace from my traumas. I found myself among a community who, through shared interests in pretty anime characters based on historical authors, held me up as I faced more traumas, enjoyed more successes, and just... lived.

HOWEVER (emphasis), in the last year or so, three of who I would consider my closest Discord friends--three people I care deeply about--have been bullied out of the fandom for their unconventional ships or portrayal of characters or preference for dead dove content, and two more have been targets of cyberbullying.

In one case, I was also targeted by Dazai Anon (one of the cyberbullies mentioned above). My response to this is always simple: I laugh at the death threats because I'm already dead inside, I delete the comments, I block the posts, and I keep writing what brings me joy. Sometimes, that's ChuuAtsu. Sometimes, that's a more popular ship. And in all cases, that's totally fine.

But that's me. And not everyone is like me.

I've written this post a dozen times in my head. I contemplated, as the "adult" in the room, putting everyone in timeout or putting on my disappointed parent face. But instead, I settled on this.

BSD fandom, respectfully, what the actual fuck?

Let me be perfectly clear: there is no good reason to ever bully anyone, but ships, tropes, character preferences and readings? These are among the worst. And don't even get me started on what's "canon."

What I guess I'm really trying to say is this: the three people I know who stopped making BSD content did because certain members of the community took their fun away. And that's never okay. There is room in the fandom for the main ships and the rarepairs. There's room for the fluffmongers, angst fiends, and dead dove aficionados. In fact, many of the friends I mention write content I personally don't, nor do they tend to write fluff and explicit consent the way I tend to, but guess what? We appreciate each other's art. We share ideas. We hold each other up. And, most of all, we're friends, anyway.

So if I'm in any place to ask this fandom for anything, it's to keep your own space as a writer/creator without taking someone else's space away. It's to have fun creating content SKK, but stop taking fun away from the people who create DaRan or DazAtsu or KuniDazai or Kouyou x Dazai or whatever ship. Most important, be kind to one another, regardless of what characters, tropes, or ships we love because at the end of the day, we're not just pseuds or creators; behind the screen, we're human.

As people, I don't think we have anything to lose in this. We can still work around tags and tropes and ships and characters we don't enjoy. Plus, who knows? You might make a new friend, gain new perspective on a character dynamic you never thought about, exchange ideas and share excitement about the newest manga chapter... and that might bring joy to both of you.

I really hope this letter to be the start of something bigger, maybe something that will move through boundaries between fan communities. I've thought about events, challenges, movements... but my limited resources as a creator with 99 mental health issues mean that for now, those ideas will have to wait. This letter, inadequate as it feels, still says most of what I want it to say.

I often say I appreciate people taking the time to read my fics. I mean that for this letter, too. So thank you, truly.

And as always, don't forget to drink water.

Until my next update,

ChaoticQuill

Spring cleaning & personal learnings:

I rarely ever post anything personal, but these have been my learnings of 2024:

Your social media account is your personal sanctuary, you can block/delete/remove/not follow back/unfollow people at your own whims. You can choose to block out what you don't want to see and the energy you don't want to be around. You aren't obliged to appease to people for validation. You rock with you, you do you.

Hanging out with unmotivated people who speak fear and negativity into themselves will slowly turn you into a negative/pessimistic/cynic like them even if they support you, energies matter, energies are silent!

Make your phone boring if you want to achieve something in life.

Not everyone needs to know about your plans, sometimes not even your best friend. (this is to say, a lot of us aren't blessed with pure hearted besties who genuinely want for us what we want for ourselves)

Motivation doesn't work, sometimes discipline fails too. Fear is a good tool; fear of failure works on days when motivation and discipline doesn't.

Subconscious rewiring and manifesting can change lives if done correctly and persistently.

No aim is big enough. Just point, aim and shoot!

Always monitor your own personal energy, you need to be energetically healthy to feel good about yourself and your goals and to show up consistently every day.

Some people aren't nice, they won't like you probably because you threaten their social status and it's totally normal to remove yourself from that zone instead of diminishing your light or shrinking yourself to make them feel safe and their alpha status feel less threatened because why? Why would you be less and not more of everything? You can choose not to fight for the attention/love/validation to be seen and heard and make an Irish exit from such spaces. Be where you are celebrated, not where you are tolerated! Such a quote to live by.

Pick your battles, not every battle is worth fighting.

Don't say anything you don't mean. It's very simple.

No revenge, just outdo yourself and the revenge gets taken care of.

Silence is great, not as a power move but because silence gives other people the space to speak, express and be themselves. You don't do power play with your own people; you give them the space to open up to you and be their authentic self.

If you sense powerplay, your best bet is to exit that space. You'll constantly be at an invisible battle in a group/with that person where both will try to take control of the dynamics in that setting and it will end up being a whole lot of mental gymnastics and loss of energy.

Redirect your energy towards bigger and better things, towards things that truly matter.

Reading is great, it inculcates a sense of gravity in your mind about the things you're passionate about, you don't blabber excessively in spaces that genuinely don't matter in the bigger scheme of things, and you build an air of importance and there's this 'chad' like air around you which intimidates people, and they think twice before challenging you to some debate because they know you hold a command over your subject and niche.

Not everyone is your friend. some people are here for your energy, some people are genuinely supportive of you and your goals, some people are not very happy about your small wins and big dreams. All in all- trust your intuition in these instances.

Be authentic about your expression and feelings, life is finite, we will die one day, there's no point being ambiguous or nonchalant about how you feel. Losing to someone in this area of life is far better than being emotionally constipated. Collect good karma and you'll be rewarded likewise in the future!

Your energy does reach the room before your words do, so be self-conscious in a way where you carry yourself with integrity and move with poise.

I watched this reel which I resonated with 100% it went like- life is easier and better when you are a chad, you work out, take care of yourself, do skincare, read, journal, listen to affirmations, cut off negativity, do dopamine detox etcetera. Life's just better when you are a chad, and yes that's so true. I see zero lie in that.

You aren't obligated to lookout for people who aren't fending for themselves.

Your perspective matters, if you think all men are shit you'll encounter a majority of men who are shit; if you think life sucks, it will continue sucking; if you think math is hard, it will continue being hard for you to grasp. So think 'my life is on easy mode' and watch things switch. Law of assumption is powerful.

Choose the right people: certain people bring a certain side out of you. The chirpy & secure ones make you feel secure in yourself, the naysayers bring out a more self-doubting side out of you, the spiritual ones help you get in touch with your own spiritual side. I chose to be around softer people this time, not edgy, not cold, not harsh, not judgmental. I was around accepting, kind, generous, gentle, softer people and I felt a whole shift in my own aura, I feel more confident than ever, more accepting towards myself and I am gentler to the other people I meet. Choose the table you want to sit on and be affiliated to, because that's who you'll become and that's what your external & internal narrative will turn into.

I hope this resonates with some of you and gives you some perspective.

so, why did I delete my old blog? The short answer is I banned yin-shimo/tianshi88 from my now defunct occult simblr server and his friends proceeded to spin a narrative on tumblr that was false. In the moment it was not worth it to me fight back, but I am back and I am fighting for what I think is right–sharing what happened and why we chose to ban him in the first place. 

If you want the full details, I am going to lay it out under the cut but bare with me, I have never had to defend myself like this, and never thought I would. You can view this as drama or whatever, idc. I just want to say my peace and not have to think nor talk about this ever again.

Also, do not harass the mods if you know who they were. Do not harass anyone shown in the screenshots, they are only shown here for transparency sake. 

cw: homophobic rhetoric, harassment, sexualization of a minor mention

A few months ago I made the occult simblr, baby! discord server. It was public so anyone could join and there was no way for me to guess how many people would end up joining! (Almost 80!) I am thankful for the learning experience but it ended on a sour note. 

One of the users who joined goes by tianshi88/yin-shimo, a known cc creator in occult simmer circles, but to be frank, I was completely unaware of this person until yin-shimo joined my server and occasionally talked.

Some time goes by, and one of the mods suggests we create a server blog to reblog our users’ content! I say yes. It was a good idea, but an anonymous ask came in (screenshot below). This is where things go south. I made the call to reply publicly, which I regret, but only because a few people made it way more trouble than what it was worth.

So let's talk about the claims and what we (the mod team at the time and myself) found out—the initial post by yooniesim (link to his post about it, which he gave me permission to link here!) The allegation is about sexualization of a fictionalized minor in the anime/manga Blue Lock. Yin-shimo himself claims this pose is done by the character in the media itself. The character in question is a teenager. I hate that I am explaining this here but ahegao is essentially a sexual pose from hentai (anime porn). It is my opinion that media portrayal of this kind of thing is weird at best, dangerous at worst. The fact that it is a reference to it is a problem in of itself, but ultimately we decided this behavior was weird (as well as his actions following the initial callout about it) and it was best to remove him from the server and we made a brief statement in the server given the circumstances surrounding it. I do not have the screenshot for this server announcement nor our reply, but nowhere did in the original ask nor in the replies we made as mods, did anyone call him a pedophile. We stated “sexualized a fictional character” because that’s what it was. 

However, worth noting there are other things he has done, which imo are worse than what I am detailing here, as referenced in Yoonie’s linked post, that added to the decision to ban him, which can be triggering to read about, so fair warning! 

The next day I considered deleting the ask of the blog to not create drama out of something serious, but I didn't before I received a reply from puppycheesecake.

I do not have the screenshot but they essentially accused us of framing him as a pedophile–this is where I became aware of yin-shimo’s sexuality/pronouns for the first time and said we were participating in a witch hunt of a gay man started by “one person” ( the anon).

My response was to delete the ask and block them. I would have responded and told them to stop lying, because that’s what they were doing. But as a queer person, being accused of that triggered me on top of everything else so I deleted the ask and the mods and I made the decision to make a second statement to tie up loose ends in the server.  We turned off anon asks on that blog, and the day after i decide to take a break, what happens?

This reblog of a shitpost on my personal blog, on a post in which I  am talking about how much I love simblr shows up in my notifications—

That was the moment I was done. You’re not going to come onto my blog with lies and try to spin a narrative when it’s very clear you are more interested in protecting your friend than what is true.

most of the mods, including me, are trans/queer, so fuck off with that “gay man is a pedophile” narrative that you’re weaponizing. 

I didn't know yin-shimo’s pronouns nor sexuality, nor did it come up when the mods and I made the decision to ban him from the server.

This behavior is childish–something like this should have never happened in an 18+ server, nor should this have turned into drama, and yet here we are. 

As for “only one person” (as referenced by puppycheesecake)—once we made the call to ban him, several people came forward to tell us his presence made them uncomfortable in the server, so I think we made the right decision in the end. 

Ultimately, yin-shimo is upset he has to face consequences for his own actions and used his friends—neither of which were in the server—to do his dirty work. 

I regret answering the question publicly but I am not sorry for banning him, nor will I apologize for what we did not do–which is what is alleged in what context I have provided. I am going to reiterate that not once did the mods call him a pedophile. 

To everyone else, it is up to you how you want to curate your online space and who you want to interact with. I am not making that decision for you, but hopefully this clears things up.

hello! i'm here with a longer post about the progress on torneskär so far.

as i showed you in an earlier post, i deleted the resort lot in favour of building this harbour. here you'll find lots of different things to do as i am trying to make every lot worth visiting (even though these are quite small lots).

some fishing shacks can be considered decorative, but i am still furnishing them, so if you decide to take a peak, you'll be catching a glimpse of the personality of the fishermen owning these shacks.

i've been super inspired to build community lots since i decided to delete the resort (crazy what can solve these mental blocks sometimes), and so now we have a school build, a fire station (in what used to be an old, abandoned factory), and even the sports arena.

i didn't think my sim would be able to sit down on the benches i made since they're technically chairs clipping into each other, but she could, so that's such a plus.

here it is from above. it'll move from a 35x25 lot to a 30x40 lot so i can include a changing room in the next export i make of torneskär, and it won't be situated here. i just placed a lot for it in world edit.

at any given time, there's like 5 taxi cabs on these roads by the way. absolutely insane.

as you can see. 6 cabs in this picture, actually.

the school, still a work in progress.

the fire station. this area hasn't received much love yet. this is going to be the more industrial looking area of this island (smaller island can be seen in the background).

play testing of torneskär is happening over on my discord, you're welcome to join ^^

https://www.tumblr.com/samdeanjohn/778046292073070592/whats-uncomfortably-like-abuse-apologism-isnt?source=share you dont have to reply because op deleted it (i think its related to your video because that post was from one of their mutuals lol) but it said: "what's uncomfortably like abuse apologism isn't extending nuance and empathy towards dean when he behaves badly. it's the constant "he was high/on demon blood/possessed/soulless/not in his right mind" rhetoric that is used to pretend none of the violence and cruelty sam has also directed towards his brother could have ever been his fault or affected dean and impacted his reactions ever. disingenuous at best." and i dont know what theyre trying to say here tbh because? becoming an addict through rubys explicit manipulation (plus azazels plan), possession (lol. lmao even), being soulless (this one kills me) are things that happened to sam, theyre pretty much not his fault and he is a victim lol and if anything your video just proves that dean is Just Like That 😭 as if dean beating the shit out of sam (among others things) is just "behaving badly". these people are insane. they already ship incest, the least of their worries should be their blorbo being a fucking abuser lmao

love the username lmaooo can only assume they have me blocked

yeah I mean you said it but the thing is no one who is serious about sam uses demon blood addiction as an "excuse" at all because the issue isn't "how much responsibility does an addict have for their actions?" it's "this person is an addict and look at how their loved ones are treating them." like we're not just not on the same page; we're coming at this from a fundamentally different place (and samblr happens to be right as always)

like talk about "[they pretend] none of the violence and cruelty sam has also directed towards his brother could have ever been his fault or affected dean and impacted his reactions ever" - which btw is that in the room with us?? - has the fact that one of the only times sam has ever hit dean first came in the SAME EPISODE where dean and bobby imprisoned, tortured, and tried to kill him and then dean stalked sam all the way to his hotel room to presumably drag him right back to that escaped their memory?

and I don't mean this in a "sam did nothing wrong <333" way. sam actually did nothing wrong and deserved to do worse. that's not disingenuous that's watching the show without our heads crammed so far up dean's ass that the lack of air makes us produce posts like above

in other words, no excuse for sam is necessary!

"soulless/possessed/not in his right mind" are also interesting because these are also, like you said, instances of sam being a victim

soulless letting dean get turned - and other residents of samblr actually talked about this at length yesterday - and dean's subsequent retaliation (before he even knows sam is soulless) is simply not a legitimate parallel to what dean does to sam in 4x21, for reasons not limited to their respective motivations and the agency (or lack of) each of them has in these situations. and also no it's not as simple, philosophically, as "sam isn't soulless and soulless isn't sam" but like... where was sam's soul when this was happening... (goose chasing meme) WHERE WAS SAM'S SOUL

possessed is not even worth talking about because your skull has to be full of nuts and bolts to try to hold sam accountable for that or try to use it to justify dean's abuse. I will say that this makes sam schrodinger's possessed though because we can apparently hold him responsible for what "he did" when possessed but also dean tricking sam into being possessed by gadreel is no big deal!

"not in his right mind" I can only assume this means hallucifer which again.... lol.. lmao even!

like let's pretend for a moment that sam and dean are equal in terms of the power dynamics of their relationship, to attempt to make sam look as bad or even worse than dean you have to take his actions out of context, but context is everything: because when you apply context to sam you realize "oh hey these parallels are actually bullshit" but when you apply context to dean it is actually worse than previously thought

I'll say one more thing and it's that this is a perfect example of what you ship not getting you off the hook automatically because while I vibe a lot more with wincesties than I do hellers in theory, the dean bias has infected every part of this fandom because they all want him to be their battered bottom, and this (for unnecessary reasons on the bottom front) requires gross mischaracterization for it to work

[charmedreincarnation]

How am I supposed to deal with anti-shifters and people literally calling shifting a mental illness? I know it’s real, and it's baffling how some people want me to confine myself to a reality that doesn’t serve me. It’s like they can't comprehend that our realities can be fluid and personal. And don't even get me started on the pretentious, usually well-off, white shifter content creators who make videos about how perma-shifters are selfish. It's as if they can't see past their privilege and understand the deeper connections and meanings behind shifting. I sometimes wish I could permanently delete this account from existence because it's just so frustrating to navigate through all this negativity and misunderstanding. I know now I’m in a world filled with possibilities, and yet some choose to limit themselves and impose those limits on others. I can be happy one day, truly happy one day and jt makes me angry that it makes some people mad I believe I can wake up in a new world with wealth and money and a family that doesn’t abuse me and visit my favorite movies. Im not hurting anyone

Not trying to be mean because I get it and went through this as well, but some of you are addicted to arguing and stirring things up. Some people become complicit in their own suffering because you don’t have to consume that type of content! you can avoid it if you train your algorithm hard enough.

If there’s one thing you can learn from religious people, it’s their “I’ll pray for you” mentality. If someone doesn’t believe in God, they just say they’ll pray for you so you don’t got to hell or whatever

When you encounter anti-shifters, just hope that one day they open their minds and discover there's more to the world than meets the eye. If they never choose to do so, it doesn’t affect your journey. One thing YOU SHOULD NOT take from religious people is making shifting your entire identity. Yes, it’s part of who you are, but it's not everything. When you don’t believe in God, some religious people become upset because religion is their identity, not just a belief system. Shifting and the loa are similar in that way—if you’re secure in your journey, would you really care if others believe or not?

You can block them and move on, but I know that’s easier said than done. It makes you angry because you’ve made it your identity instead of just an inherent way of life. Everyone shifts, even anti-shifters, so whether they believe in it or not doesn’t matter.

They’re like flat-earthers to me—I just roll my eyes and move on. It shouldn’t take a toll on your inherent being or mental health. If it does, take a step back. Stop diving into communities you know will make you angry. You don’t have to drag ShiftTok drama to Tumblr or rant about them. Avoid reblogging blogs that share misinformation and arguing with them. You don’t have to share YouTubers who think perma-shifters are delusional or self-harming.

Really sit down and think: if you genuinely believe in shifting and believe you can do it, would you go around trying to prove it to those with no interest in it? Are you trying to convince them or yourself? Don’t tie shifting or anything spiritual to your worth or identity. It’s just your inherent being. Everyone is God in their own right, whether they recognize it or not. It’s not your job to force enlightenment on others. Focus on yourself, use the block button, and defend yourself when attacked without meaning but if there’s no progress in the conversation, still use that block button. Stop entering spaces you don’t agree with.

LOA vs ND, be states vs A and P—some of you guys genuinely just want to live out your high school clique fantasies on Tumblr. Stop arguing and do your own thing. Engage in the free will you have and stop turning spirituality into pretentious Reddit philosophy echo chambers of people who have lost sight of the teachings. This isn’t politics no one focused on their journey and life cares okay; no one cares. It’s should be very fun, engaging and simple—just remembering who you are. I know humans love labels and categorizing because we’re so diverse and versatile and three-dimensional, and sometimes that’s a lot so we want to find our “place” but your own label and true essence and limitless. take a deep breath, close your laptop, and remember you already know who you are.

I totally get that shifting has been life-changing for us, especially when so many of us have come from really challenging backgrounds. It can be incredibly disheartening to see someone tearing apart something that gives you hope. That’s why I find it frustrating when people casually say, "The only thing you have to lose is trying." Hope is a huge factor when you feel like you’ve got nothing else, and the belief that something can save you is incredibly powerful. You work tirelessly, holding onto hope despite facing the same difficulties that dragged you into a tough mental state and life situation in the first place—that's disheartening, and I’m not trying to downplay that at all.

But when you truly realize it’s going to happen, and when it finally does, you won’t even care about the naysayers. I’ve been there, looking back and realigning my thoughts, thinking about all those times others doubted everything. They argued and criticized, but in the end, their opinions won’t matter. It’s about that personal journey and the shift within yourself, the kind of change that makes all the worth it, because when you get past all that useless noise, it’s just you and the incredible things that you did that matter. This is your life so make the most of it.

sorry for the long read but this is important (aka lets talk about plagiarism)

hello! so, if anyone remembers the other day i posted a lil snippet for a smutshot involving remus/sirius/james. originally, someone got very upset about the lack of tags and accused me of writing SA—it was not SA, it was teasing someone and edging them, but i digress. people misread things all the time and thats whatever—and they privately messaged me accusing the same thing and saying i needed to tag better as i had triggered them. i deleted the post not wanting to upset anyone else, apologised for upsetting them then whilst trying to explain my work and explain how it wasnt SA, they blocked me. that's fair and i moved on learning my lesson as i clearly did something wrong.

what isn't fair, is rewriting said work for yourself and posting it on YOUR ao3 account.

i was sent the story and commented:

you deleted this post almost immediately and proceeded to say it isn't plagiarism. this is the definition of plagiarism btw:

that's what you did. it's the exact same scenario, it's a threesome, and the dialogue is VERY similar. the premise for the scene is the same. I've got some screenshots of both works below to highlight this:

MINE:

THEIRS:

now this isn't word for word, obviously, and theirs is a longer one shot with other plot points involved, but these scenes are similar. the dialogue in particular is similar. its a slap in the face honestly; to be given shit by someone and then see that they decided to use it for themselves.

there is always consent in my work, i've never had anyone say before that this is an issue as my finished works have discussions of safe words and safe sex and boundaries. pretty much everything i've ever written that involves sex has a conversation regarding safe words. i clearly tagged it wrong and i will admit that. i will take the blame for that and tag accordingly from now on.

but you used my work for your own. and also (since you added this to the ao3 post i'll include it) you admitted to using my work:

'inspired by some drama'

YOU REWROTE WHAT I MADE. YOU USED SIMILAR DIALOGUE. THE SAME SETTING. YOU JUST MADE IT YOUR OWN AND ARE ACTING LIKE THAT ISN'T PLAGIARISM??

like—

just because you didn't think i would 'appreciate' being mentioned does not mean you do it?? you literally admitted to 'tweaking' it and writing it yourself. this is such stupid fucking drama and so unnecessary what did you want to gain from this??

do not use other peoples fucking work. SIMPLE.

also i shouldnt have to say this but dont give this person shit. dont send hate in my name, its not worth it and not the point of this post whatsoever .im not naming them, they know who they are even if they've blocked me. i dont care if you see this, honestly i hope you see it. just please take plagiarism seriously because its annoying af and weird

ANYWAY have a lovely day <3

[worlds-worst-ships]

Welcome to the home of the world's worst ships!

WARNING: BY ENTERING/INTERACTING WITH THIS BLOG, YOU AGREE TO ALL CONDITIONS OUTLINED IN THIS POST.

Hello there, I'm Jack Goodwin and this absolute affront to the natural order that I call a blog is where I take a break from the insane content I normally make to bring you fictional pairings that'll make your heart go "aw man, what in the..."

Wanna stay up to date on my video/.streaming content? Go follow @maji-man. Or just click HERE to see all my socials in one list.

Here's a post where I explain the point of the blog. I highly suggest you read it twice or more to make sure you understand.

Be warned: If you neglect this post and run your mouth in my comments, chances are I'll make fun of you in my videos and streams. Now then, down to business.

Are there two characters that absolutely should not be anywhere near each other, to the point where one should be getting a restraining order? Are there pairings in fiction that you couldn't be paid a quadrillion rubles to come up with on your own? Are you sick of all these picket-fence, vanilla pudding, ERENxMIKASA snoozefests that plague the internet? If so, you've come to the right place. Get your kissy-kissy lips on, find a slightly uncomfortable chair and LETS GET SHIPPING!!!

I have only FOUR RULES HERE:

You can say whatever you want here, so long as;

1. Its not discriminatory

Any sort of phobia/ism here is not welcome. This blog is for everyone, regardless of ethnicity, orientation or gender identity.

2. Its a joke,

and clearly a joke. We poke fun at each other here. Lets keep it fun.

3. Its true.

I have the power of google, and any misinformation will be swiftly corrected. When you are corrected, either accept it or be blocked. Misinformation and straight up lies are not welcome here.

4: You speak with the understanding that these characters aren't real people, nor do they represent them

These are cartoons. Works of fiction. They're not real. Please keep any deep-seated obsession with character's ethnicity, sexuality, age, background etc to yourself. Acting holier-than-thou and making that the subject of your personal issue with my posts doesn't make you a hero, nor is that the groundbreaking opinion you think it is, it just makes the jokes awkward and uncomfortable for many people here.

Aaaaanyways, now we've got that out of the way (and yes, I will add more rules as the need arises, don't test me)

I'll mostly be using the absolute maelstrom of doodoo I call a brain to come up with ideas, but if you'd like to submit some ideas of your own, feel free. Send it to my ASK box. Nothing illegal, past a certain point, please.

Oh, and the ask criteria/format is in the linked post below. (Anonymous asks are and will always be turned off, cuz I know that this site is full of pussies who can't talk shit on main)

JUST IN CASE YOU DIDN'T READ THAT POST, AS I KNOW MOST OF YOU WON'T: If you do not follow that exact format, I WILL DELETE YOUR ASKS ON SIGHT.

I REPEAT: I will not even CONSIDER posting them.

FUN FACT: After having this blog for multiple months with anonymous asks turned off, I haven't gotten a single hate message (other than that one kid who got made a fool out of). This is why they're off, in case you wondered.

Its also worth mentioning, some of you are new to the concept of comedy, so I'll write it nice and big for you (if you know what a crackship/joke is, then skip this paragraph): THIS IS A JOKE BLOG. A GIMMICK BLOG. A COMEDY BLOG. I DO NOT CARE EVEN SLIGHTLY ABOUT SHIPPING AS A CONCEPT MUCH LESS DO I EVEN KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT 9/10 OF THE CHARACTERS YOU'LL SEE HERE, SO IM JUST MAKING J O K E S. IF YOU ARE OFFENDED, THEN YOU HAVE KNOWINGLY CHOSEN TO BE OFFENDED WHICH IS ENTIRELY YOUR FAULT. THANK YOU :)

I REPEAT this is a CRACKSHIP BLOG, so if you're deeply hurt by any of my polls, just know that nothing here reflects me as a person because none of what I post is serious. If anything you see after reading that causes you any emotional distress, it IS NOT my fault. Its funny, but its not my fault.

Hello!! I Hope you and your family are staying safe and I’m hoping the bombings have slowed down.

My question I have is have you ever gotten harassment before? Like has any of your accounts ever been hacked, people doxxing you (not that it would be efficient since you let everyone know your location), spamming, rude and disrespectful asks, or just hate in general? The reason I’m asking is because I wish to start writing but the ships I like are considered “taboo” like the ships that you write for and I’m nervous about getting backlash or having my privacy broken.

Anyway, make sure you’re taking care of yourself! And if you do receive any harassment I applaud you for handling it so well. :)) ❤️❤️

Hi! Thank you for your words and for sharing your worries with me! I do get hateful asks, mostly from antis, but very, very rarely. Maybe a couple per year.

I don't know if I'm just lucky or my approach has something to do with it. And by my approach I mean instantly deleting & blocking the message and the person who sent it. I do it in 99,9% of cases, and I guess it's not that fun for people to be ignored. Even when I feel an itch to respond, I don't let myself do it because I know this is what they expect. They want a reaction, and they usually never interact in good faith. So I remove the dirt from my inbox and then actively make some reblogs & respond to asks to demonstrate that I'm online, happy, and kicking - and not planning to give them a slice of my time.

For what it's worth, I also genuinely don't care about the stuff they say. I'm a confident person with a firm set of beliefs and a clear understanding of my strengths and weaknesses. I imagine hateful asks might hit worse if the receiver is more sensitive in this regard.

So, I can just wish you strength, patience, and a ton of inspiration! If you want to start writing, I think you should go for it, no matter what ships you choose. And if you do get hate, most platforms will give you the means to control your surroundings, so just block, report, and delete whatever makes you unhappy!

g-g-g-guess whose intrusive thoughts about age changing have gotten super bad since they turned 18

Ohhh sweetie, pull up a throne, because we’re about to spill some steaming tea, lay down truths, and sprinkle a little ✨ main character energy ✨ all over this mess. 💅 You’ve been out here letting intrusive thoughts, shifting stigma, and the peanut gallery of nobodies rent space in your fabulous mind like it’s a clearance sale. 🚫 Not anymore. By the time we’re done, you’ll be serving confidence hotter than a curling iron on max heat. 🔥 Ready to boss up? Let’s get it. 💖✨

1. Intrusive Thoughts: Your Brain’s Chaotic Drama, Not Reality 💭💅

Okay, darling, let’s start with those intrusive thoughts. You know, the ones popping off like confetti guns during a mental breakdown? 🎉 Guess what? They’re not truth. They’re not you. They’re like spam emails—annoying, irrelevant, and absolutely not worth your attention. 🚫📧

What even are intrusive thoughts? They’re random fears, anxieties, and “what ifs” that your brain tosses at you like it’s auditioning for an anxiety Olympics. 🥇 Spoiler: they don’t mean anything. They’re just noise. Static. Garbage data your mind generates for attention. You’re not broken, and you’re definitely not crazy. ✨

Fact 1: Intrusive thoughts happen to literally everyone. Yep, even Beyoncé probably thinks, “What if I tripped onstage?” 👑

Fact 2: The more you freak out about them, the louder they get. Think of them like trolls. 🧌 The best clapback? Ignore them.

Fact 3: They don’t reflect your values, your character, or your identity. You’re the CEO of your mind, not these random interns trying to take over the boardroom. 👩‍💼

How to shut them down: When intrusive thoughts start squawking like seagulls at a beach picnic, try this:

Acknowledge them like a bored security guard. “Oh, you again? Cute.”

Visualize them as messy toddlers mid-tantrum. Smile and mentally escort them out. 🍼

Redirect your focus to something that actually deserves your energy—like you. 💅

And for the record? Intrusive thoughts don’t make you a bad person. They’re loud because you care. That’s your compassionate heart trying to make sense of the noise. Let it rest, babe—you’re already enough. 🖤

2. Age Changing in Shifting: The Ultimate Glow-Up 🔄✨

Alright, let’s tackle the drama surrounding age changing. You know, the big bad “forbidden fruit” some gatekeepers on TikTok and Reddit like to clutch their pearls over. 💀 Honey, age changing is not bad. It’s not weird. It’s not anything except a tool for growth and healing. And the haters? They can stay mad. 🖕✨

When you shift, you’re stepping into the full version of yourself in your Desired Reality (DR). 🌌 You’re not pretending—you’re embodying a timeline where you exist in a different age, mindset, and situation. So why is scripting a magical mansion, superpowers, or literal dragons fine, but tweaking your age gets people clutching their pearls? 🤔 Babe, the double standards are exhausting. Sit down, Karen. 🪑

Why age changing is valid:

It’s a way to explore versions of yourself you didn’t get to experience in your Original Reality (OR). Missed out on the carefree joy of being a kid? Go get it. 🧸✨

It’s a way to heal old wounds. Maybe your inner child or angsty teen needs a do-over. That’s self-love, not a crime. ❤️

It’s your choice. Full stop. Shifting is about you. Nobody else gets a say in what you explore, heal, or experience.

And honestly, the haters are hypocrites. Half of them are out here scripting themselves as 17-year-old CEOs with six-pack abs and billion-dollar empires, but they wanna judge you for wanting to explore being younger or older? Nah, babe. Not today. Block and delete. 🚮

Pro tip: Anytime someone tries to shame you for age changing, remember this: your journey, your rules. Their opinions? About as useful as expired milk. 🥴

3. Sticking With a DR You Made as a Minor: Resilience Goals, Babe 👑

Let’s talk about commitment, because if you’re still working on a DR you scripted years ago, that’s not cringe—that’s iconic. 🏆 While others are out here hopping from one trend to another, you’ve stayed loyal to your dream. That’s queen behavior. 👑✨

Here’s the gag: Maybe you started scripting your DR as a teenager because you wanted to date a fictional crush, live a fantasy life, or escape your OR stress. And guess what? That’s fine. Dreams evolve, and so do you. What matters is that your motivation has grown with you. Now it’s not just about escaping—it’s about honoring your younger self’s dream and proving to yourself that you can make it happen. 🌈

Why sticking with your DR is powerful:

💎 It shows loyalty to your younger self. You’re telling them, “Your dreams mattered. You mattered.” That’s healing.

🔥 It’s a testament to your resilience. You didn’t give up when it got hard, and that’s rare AF.

✨ It’s personal growth. Shifting isn’t just about the DR; it’s about becoming the best version of yourself.

Let’s also address the trolls who wanna call you “weird” for sticking with a DR for years. Babe, their opinions are about as valuable as Monopoly money. 🤑 They don’t know the work you’ve put in, the lessons you’ve learned, or the self-trust you’ve built. Keep going. You’re not here to play small.

4. The Haters: Why They Don’t Matter 🖕✨

Here’s the thing about judgmental people: they’re loud because they’re insecure. 😏 People project their fears and failures onto others because it’s easier than facing their own mess. So when someone comes for your shifting journey—whether it’s about intrusive thoughts, age changing, or sticking with a DR—they’re really just announcing their own unresolved issues. 🫠

Why their opinions don’t matter:

They don’t pay your bills. 💵

They don’t walk your path. 👣

They don’t get a vote in your healing, growth, or exploration. 🗳️

When someone comes for you, remember this mantra: “Their opinion of me is none of my business.” Repeat as needed, and block liberally. ✋

🎤 Final Word: Slay Your Journey, Queen 👑

Intrusive thoughts? Noise. 🧠 Age changing? Valid AF. 🔄 Sticking with a DR you created years ago? Resilient queen behavior. 👑 And the haters? Irrelevant. You’re out here building the life of your dreams, healing your soul, and exploring your potential. That’s legendary. ✨

Here’s your action plan:

Stop letting random opinions dictate your self-worth. 🚫

Focus on what you want, not what others think is “acceptable.” 🪞

Keep shifting, healing, and thriving—because you deserve it. 💖

Your DR is waiting, babe. And when you get there, it’s not just gonna bow down—it’s gonna roll out the red carpet, pop bottles, and celebrate the masterpiece that is YOU. 🎉💅 So go slay, shift, and sparkle. The future you’ve been dreaming of? It’s already yours. ✨

I actually hate having to post this, but

I feel like I have to post this in response to some recent drama stirring. I will cop to making an alt blog to post this because the hate around this has been virulent.

Recently this post has been shared regarding another artist creating locked tomb fan art

In this post which you should read they make the claim that the creator of these pieces 100% for certain created them with AI image generation software generating quite a lot of attention. The problem is that their supposed supporting evidence is INCREDIBLY flawed to the point of contradiction and nonsense. For example both of these cropped images

are given as evidence of AI generation, claiming that the smudge is the result of AI failure and that the hand is CLEARLY ai generated…except that even a cursory examination and familiarity of what AI image generation ends up looking like would make it obvious that these aren’t AI hands and are just…normal hand drawn hands. As for the smudge we could easily explain that as the artist not noticing a mistake in one of their layers before posting, but we don’t know that. Except we do.

Because if you were to look at the artists blog now you might notice they have made some corrections and small edits to the original piece and lo and behold…no smudge. Now here is where things get properly silly, instead of drawing the obvious conclusion from this that the artist being able to go in and fix the layers of their work means that they actually drew it THEY CLAIM THAT THE ABILITY TO DRAW AND EDIT IN THE EXACT STYLE OF THE PIECE IS FURTHER EVIDENCE OF AI.

WHAT.

I don’t think I need to point out to most people that AI image generation tools do not work that way and they certainly don’t allow you to make subtle targeted fixes and edits.

There is also a claim that the artist admitted to using AI to produce the piece which is a gross distortion of what they explained, the artist openly stated that they have tried using image gen tools to assist with their thumbnailing process. Let us be clear that thumbnailing is NOT producing any sort of final piece but is simply the process of brainstorming ideas and concepts. It’s seriously gross to flat out lie and claim the artist said anything different. Thankfully someone else screenshotted this so there’s actual evidence that accusations are being made that are straight up lies.

It is also at this point we should take a look at some of the artists other publicly available work.

I chose this selection because another accusation in the post that is hard evidence of AI is that because the posted pieces are “too different” in style from other earlier work posted on their blog, it should be fairly obvious how silly this is with even a small sample of what they have produced. This is an artist who obviously has the ability to work in a wide range of artistic styles and mediums but instead this is being used to claim they…can’t art? It’s also worth pointing the obvious that there are plenty of works in that artist’s portfolio in the exact same mucha style, including ones that are literally hand drawn on paper. Works that literally predate the availability of image generation software going back years. It is a complete farce to suggest this person CANT DRAW HANDS.

Frankly it is incredibly disappointing that the community is barraging this artist with insults and hate because of one persons incredibly flawed accusations. A person that I might add has deleted comments on their post that disagreed with them while at the same time castigating the artist for blocking them and deleting their post as evidence of their guilt.

While this isn’t conclusive in and of itself I’ll end with this.

It’s more effort than the accuser went to before rallying a witch hunt against someone else.

[writingquestionsanswered]

I'm planning on publishing my written fiction online in both Portuguese (my native language) and in English (the other language I speak which might help to share the story with more people), but something is worrying me.

I watched a movie where the a main character (a writer) had a book that wasn't popular and another character "translated" into her language (what she actually did was rewrite it as an erotic novel) and the book was super loved there (the readers didn't know the book was supposed to be different)

Sometimes I see artists who allow fans to share translations of their comics, but I'm concerned on what could happen if someone asked for permission to translate. Do you think it's worth the risk of someone making my story popular with something that goes against my values, like supporting disregard to a human right or making it erotic when it was supposed to be family-friendly?

Worried About Fan Translations

I want to be clear that this advice is specific to fiction published online versus e-books or print books, which are a different matter entirely. First and foremost, if you post a story online, give permission to a fan to translate it, and then they rewrite it into something else, that is plagiarism and a copyright violation, and you have every right to ask them to take it down. If they refuse to cooperate, you can threaten them with a lawsuit, even if you don't really have the means to follow through. That could be enough to get them to take it down. If not you can report them to the platform for stealing your work. You can also let your fans know that this person has stolen your work and to please block them or refuse to engage with them.

If you post a story online and are approached by a fan who asks to translate it into their native language, there are some things you can do to potentially protect yourself:

1 - Do not give them permission to post the translation on their own account. Thank them for their offer and let them know you're happy to let them translate the story, but they will need to e-mail it to you so you can have it vetted and post it on your own account with credit. Be clear that you do not give them permission to post a translation on their own account. That way, not only does it dissuade people who are only interested in plagiarism or benefiting off your hard work, it also means you keep full control of your story and its translations.

2 - Do your best to vet the translation. You can try to find a beta reader who is fluent in that language who can read it and make sure it's a good translation, though you'll likely have to pay them, which is worth it to make sure the translation is accurate. Or you could copy chunks of the story into Google Translate, which isn't a great translation service, but at least you'll see right away if the person has added erotica or written anything that's drastically different.

3 - Do your best to vet the translator. Another thing you can do is try to vet the translator. Ask them if they've ever translated a story before, and if so, ask them for examples. Look at their account and see if they have posted other translations or have posted links to translations. Investigate the authors of the stories they translated and see if there are any complaints. Read through the comments of the original story and the translation (you may again have to use Google Translate if it's a language you're not familiar with... not perfect, but just fine for this application...) are similar. If a lot of comments on the translation mention elements that aren't mentioned in the source story comments, that's a potential red flag.

I hope that helps!

Hi Lukas! I know you're a writer so I wanted to ask about this:

I'm working on a rewrite of a childhood book series and I was wondering if you had any advice? (Also it's about cats I know you like cats)

I've already started working on fixing the admittedly questionable canon family trees and I've started to realise that this project will probably take up most of the year along with the... five? other projects I have going?

The joys of not having a job and having too much time on your hands 😅

Ooh, sounds very interesting! ((Is it Warrior Cats? Making a guess))

Honestly, my best advice is to find a balance. You seem to have a lot on your plate that you’re choosing to have, I personally do one project at a time but if you believe you can handle them, awesome! But still, find a routine. Always remember to jot things down, find a “vibe”, and keep passion flowing.

Jotting things down is a thing most people do but not efficiently, do it as much as possible. Whether it’s physically writing, typing or even recording/drawing stuff! I find it awesome to record yourself as if you’re explaining something/the process/the writing to someone really wonderful. Get everything down. Especially if you have multiple things going on, I failed on this front sometimes (I’m a hypocrite, I know!) and got lost during times when I took a break. So trust me, it’s helpful. Tedious yes, but helpful!

Finding a vibe is amazing, kind of connects to the passion thing but it’s basically, get a work environment. Whether that be in bed with a nice cup of tea, at your desk with music and dim lights, out in the forest with nature accompanying you or whatever else. Your writing is almost always better when you are at your most comfortable. It’s hard to find the vibe that really suits you but once you find it, it’s worth it. Although, sometimes your setting can switch and that’s okay. Keep yourself happy and your brain will do all the work smoother than let’s say, you enjoy quiet enclosed spaces but today you’re writing in the public and crowded mall! I hope I got that point across.

Keep the passion FLOWING. I know writers block can suck! I personally have experienced it so much, anything and everything you can do to keep yourself engaged in your project, DO IT. Take breaks when you genuinely don’t feel like it. I assume you’re writing for fun so there is no rush, when you rush, you never put your 100% into it and you’re not doing it out of pure enjoyment. You will find imperfections, you will be unhappy and as a writer, it’s your desire to have the opposite! Your writing is your growing baby so treat it as such! Think everything out, be gentle and caring, love it and love what you do.

Extra tips:

Don’t overwork yourself.

Stay hydrated and eat well. (You work best at your healthiest! Exercise is an option too but not necessary.)

Remember it’s okay to dislike stuff. It’s okay to rewrite stuff. It’s okay to trash stuff (but never delete! Push it aside, in a folder, in a separate Google doc, in your drafts or wherever else!).

Get opinions, find people who enjoy your topic/subject and get them to read it. If you’re posting it somewhere, AWESOME! You already have this. Listen to feedback but remember it’s okay to deny certain factors.

You’re the writer, you’re in control.

make it make sense

-you called me bestie

-you called me your twin flame

-you called us soul mates twice

-you told me that you enjoyed taking the time to just talk to me, calling it “[my real name] time”.

-you opened up to me that you were hurting because your friends were distant with you, lessening message responses less, initiating less, feeling like you were the one reaching out more

-i opened up to you that id been ghosted by the first friend i made on here after returning to tumblr and how they did it, you called what they did an awful thing to do

-we took turns asking each other if we were being too much for the other, the answer was always no

-i asked you to tell me if i ever got too much, you never did.

-you said you loved our friendship because we both reached out to the other equally and were really enjoyed in convos

-you spoke to me like you cared for me so much

-you nearly made me cry because you said I was like the night sky

-you said you were confused because i didn’t think highly of myself or my body

-suddenly the pattern i recognize all too well begins to play out: your responses grow slower, our chats stop lasting to the point where we fell asleep mid conversation, i have to reach out more, you start a pattern of not responding suddenly in mid conversation and never make the effort to continue it anymore

-i believed you and respected that you needed to slow down a little because of your mental health, and i always will for you or anyone

-but tell me why when you stop responding mid conversation i see you two hours later: responding to anons asking to DM, enthusiastically asking them to start a conversation with you while ignoring our chat, and this happened several times.

-what suddenly made me not worth it?

-what changed?

-everything weighed on me so much that i finally broke and asked if you still wanted to be friends with me?

-your response? “You couldn’t get rid of me if you tried.”

- despite this reassurance you kept getting more distant. time passes and you stop talking to me mid convo one last time, i don’t try to reach out, seeing if you’d remember to come back. You never did. And we never talked again.

-this breaks me and i take a break from tumblr… later i come back and say ive decided to leave tumblr, you never reached out while others did.

-i decide someone being so distant with me doesnt deserve access to my intimate videos, i delete them off our chat on discord, but i dont make a move to remove you off discord.

-less than two months later after you insisted you wanted to be my friend i’m not only unfriended but Blocked on discord.

-months pass and i impulsively come back to tumblr, you’re still following me on tumblr but after i go back to posting on my blog, you unfollow me on tumblr too. This is where our story has finally been put to rest.

-for so many reasons our friendship felt different from so many others ive had in this community yet in ended in the same way, you ended up being just another person from this community who left me trying to pick up the pieces of myself to try to put them back together.

-you hurt me so bad

-you hurt me so bad i was questioning my other close friendships, reigniting fears that always play in the background that no one really cares for me or wants me around. I was so scared of losing them too.

-i called one of them nearly crying. she kept asking me what was wrong, and i couldnt event speak because i was too busy not trying to burst into tears and cry into my mic. but she reminded me and continues to remind me that she loves me and values our friendship. she continues to do something after 3 years that you couldn’t maintain for what? 8 months?

-why did you bother at all? Why did you lie to me about wanting to be my friend? Why didn’t you tell me to buzz off when i gave you the opportunity? Why did you talk to me like I was gold and then deserted me like i was trash

-this is why i find it hard to take compliments, to see the good in myself… because so many of the ones who talk about the good in me, evidently don’t see enough of it to keep me around.

-i wanted to cry when you compared me to the night sky because inside, i didn’t believe you genuinely thought that of me and I almost couldnt handle someone saying something like that to me for the first time in my life.

-i only feel brave posting this because you’re presumably not on here anymore. Maybe this is my way of finding closure. Hoping you see this and understand the damage you did. Honestly, the idea of you seeing this and reaching out terrifies me. It might just make me more comfortable to never hear from you again. You put this distance between us. You can keep it. Stay away from me.

——-

i just needed to get this out. Put it out there. This isn’t why I took a break recently. But it’s why i initially left the community (again) back last year. This tore me apart.

lol this community’s def the reason my abandonment issues are as bad as they are. 🫠

I’ll be alright. But i needed to get this off my chest. I even wonder if anybody can tell who this is just by my words.

Tips for writers who find it hard to stay on a consistent schedule for replies?

Listen—hear me loud and clear like a foghorn in a fandom tag at 3am:

You do not owe anyone any form of consistency on this site. Not a soul. Not a mutual, not a follower, not even that one person who reblogs your posts and adds perfect tags like they’re whispering poetry to the wind. You are not a content vending machine. You are a person—with a life, with needs, and possibly a tragic addiction to overthinking every reply while also ignoring your drafts like they insulted your ancestors.

Now, if you owe anyone consistency, it’s you. And even then, let’s reframe that: it's not about obligation. It's about supporting your own sanity. Your own creativity. Your own peace of mind.

Think of it like this: your writing schedule should be a cozy hoodie, not a straightjacket. It should be something you slip into when you’re ready, when it feels right—not something that chokes you out because you feel guilty for not posting for three days, a week, or a lunar cycle.

If you want to set up a rhythm for yourself—amazing. But do it like you’re building a playlist: choose vibes that make you feel good, not like you’re forcing yourself to dance to a song you hate. Make time for writing that fits you, not the imaginary pressure ghosts of Tumblr.

So if you’re struggling with consistency, here’s my tip: Prioritize alignment over output. Are you writing when you’re inspired? Are you taking breaks when your brain says “pls no words”? Are you remembering that your worth isn’t measured in replies per week?

Good. That’s the stuff that matters.

And if anyone ever makes you feel guilty for not responding “on time”? Block them with the righteous fury of a thousand deleted drafts. You deserve better.
