Todays Rip: 01/04/2024

Raft Ride ~ The Story So Far

Season 7 & Season 8 Part of: The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening

Ripped by SiIvaGunner

Welcome to the end, weary traveler! And, in case you've somehow missed EVERYTHING that happened today: April Fools!

As of this post, I've now officially covered each of the 170+ Raft Ride rips - including some fringe cases - to have been uploaded to the SiIvaGunner channel. Did you have fun taking this trip down memory lane? Find a new Raft Ride favorite? Or, did you focus on the incredible April Fools event currently happening on the main channel as I'm currently writing this? Not that I can blame you - my attention was so split all day, I didn't get anything productive done!! It meant a lot to get to see so many people's reactions to realizing the scope of this whole thing, smiles and fun comments on seeing their favorite raft rides reshared - I'm writing this all just as its all come to an end, and it was so much fun in every sense of the word.

I've now taken off the "Todays SiIvaGunner" and "Season 7"/"Season 8" tags off all of these posts, as to not have them clog up the blog's Archive view (which you should be using!!!). Instead, consider what you're reading now the "masterpost" for helping you navigate the entire Raftmageddon event, as the one post that will show up as April 1st daily post.

You can press the big blue button to see every Raft Ride post made today, or the smaller purple buttons to filter per Season 7 and Season 8 as per usual - now tagged as "Rapids 7" and "Rapids 8". The link below tells you how to search for Raft Rides by specific rippers: they won't show up if you just add a ripper's name as the tag, you must preface it with "raft : " first, including the spaces! Rafts without credit are tagged as "rafter unknown".

[Enter the Raftmageddon] - [7] - [8]

[Ripper Filter - "raft : (name)" after /tagged/ in URL]

But hey, this event isn't necessarily the end - The Raft Ride truly never ends, right? And so don't consider this to be the end of my coverage, the end of the story - this IS Raft Ride ~ The Story So Far for a reason, after all! Who knows, you might be seeing Raft Ride back on here sooner than you'd expect...

(oh, and the actual rip used here is the secret Raft Ride: Totaka's Secret Raft by overcast07, featured on SiIvaGunner's Highest Quality Rips: Volume Ruby)

It's a really fun twist on one of the most popular Easter Eggs in Link's Awakening - happy late Easter! - and one of the most fun running gags in Nintendo's history in general, honestly. Totaka's song is sort of like Nintendo's own Raft Ride in a way, isn't it? This reoccurring, stupid ditty, just put together by one composer out of sheer boredom, almost eerily similar to where it all began with Raft Foot Creep...and overcast07 arranges it in a really fun way, keeping the suspense from the big jingle the original has, not really leaning too hard into the Raft Ride-iness with its infamous backing or screeching high note - but the note is high althesame, and the melody is undeniably that accursed, beloved tune. What a fun little surprise. What whimsy!! What a fun day today's been. :3

AMY GEORGIA’S LATEST POST OF BTS STAGED. THAT PHOTO OF DAVID AND MICHAEL SITTING, UNCLE MICHAEL??!!!!

Well, this was a hell of a way to start a Wednesday. Haha. Yes indeed, I have seen the pictures in question, and there is much to discuss. First, here's a link for folks who haven't seen it, but I'll also post the relevant pictures here so we have the visual:

There's obviously a lot going on here, but Anon #2, let me first say that I cackled at your mention of "bisexual sitting," because I had exactly the same thought. What I really love is that both David and Michael are sitting bisexually, but in completely different ways. Truly a blessing for us all in the last few days of Pride Month. (Also, I think "accidental gif" is referring to the fact that Georgia probably thought she was taking a picture but had the camera on video mode instead. Thus, an accidental gif once the video got into the hands of the fandom.)

What I need to say before anything else is that all of this--Staged 3, and the BTS pictures--hits very differently now that we know Michael and David have [REDACTED]. This touches on a larger discussion that I am hoping to have in a separate analysis post for Staged 3, but they filmed [REDACTED] for GO 2 prior to filming Staged 3, which now makes me look at everything we've gotten related to S3 through a very different lens.

But yes, there are a lot of choices happening here. Georgia's post focuses specifically and clearly on Michael or Michael/David. As you said, Anon #3, the post immediately got a slew of likes and engagement, and Georgia being smart/savvy with Insta most likely engineered it for that purpose. Yet what stands out (as was pointed out above) is that there is not a single picture of Anna in the post.

I think when we talk about what AL is posting (such as the baby picture, which is here for those who haven't seen it) versus what Georgia is posting lately, we really have to look at what AL isn't posting, which is something you mentioned, Anon #3. The Staged BTS pictures AL has posted are all recycled--either the black and white one of her with Myrtle, the screenshot of the scene with her and Michael in the car (at least three times, at last count), and then this reshared group picture, which is cringey on so many different levels:

(Why is AL sitting like that? Why is Michael sitting closer to/looks more comfortable with Lucy than her? I have so many questions...)

But what AL has noticeably not posted is pictures of David. Now, that could be because of what you said, Anon #3--that she knows he and Michael together will draw attention away from her (and I have another Anon waiting to be answered that touches on this in more depth, which I will answer soon). It could also be because, as I've written about previously on my blog, AL and David do not get along because of Michael's strong connection with David and how he is so much on the receiving end of Michael's passionate attention. It could also be for another reason, one I've had a few folks DMing me about, wondering if maybe there is some kind of agreement in place where--for whatever reason--AL does not have permission to post pictures of David. We already know he's not a fan of social media and Georgia has permission and (supposedly) clears everything she posts of him beforehand, but it would not surprise me if the same privilege is not extended to Anna. And it would explain the lack of BTS pictures from her--along with her absence from seemingly multiple scenes/places where Georgia was present.

Of course, Georgia was a producer on S3, so that absolutely could explain why we have photos from her of Michael and David in the scene where they were interviewed, or of the David/Michael pile up that she was in in the conference room scene (pic #2, which was interestingly cropped so that we couldn't see too much), and why AL wasn't there.

And then there's the third picture. "Uncle Michael" (and doesn't that make your heart ache?). There's a part of me that wonders if this was almost a deliberate phrasing, because in decades past when same-sex couples could not live openly, if a man had a male partner, he was often referred to as "Uncle [Name]," as a euphemism to hide the true nature of the relationship (even though everyone likely already knew). Georgia has already called Michael David's "other wife," however, so this just seems like an extension/affirmation of what has been previously said. But where, then, is "Aunt Anna"? To me, her omission is almost less surprising, because I have felt that Georgia has been slowly distancing herself from AL for some time now (commenting on AL's head shot, for example--something professional, to do with the business--but ignoring/not commenting on AL's birthday post for Mabli).

It's just glaringly noticeable at this point, and it is definitely making me wonder what all of this--the BTS pics from Staged 3, and the soon-to-be-released second season of Good Omens--is leading to. I know I could certainly be reading too much into it, but every post from Georgia has felt like it is building up to something, and I'm incredibly curious to find out what. I suppose for now, though, we'll just have to wait and see (sorry/not sorry. Haha).

So yes, those are my thoughts on today's new BTS pics. I have a ton of other Anons to answer (now past 700, which is crazy), so there will be lots more to discuss about all the recent happenings soon. Thanks for writing in, Anons! x

Here to interrupt your editing (take breaks, you deserve them):

🌈is there a fic that you worked *really fucking hard on* that no one would ever know? maybe a scene/theme you struggled with?

🧿what steps do you take to not take things personally if a fic doesn't do well, or if your writing/posting/sharing experience isn't going how you'd like it to?

💌share something with us about an up-and-coming work (WIP) that has you excited!

Appreciate the interruption as always (and also the fact that, weirdly, procrastinating answering this ask gave me a boost of editing energy)

🌈 I mean, I’d like to say my steddie big band fic Road To Nowhere, however I was on here whinging for the entire 8 month process so idk how much of a secret it was lol.

There’s also the time loop fic I’m currently working on/despairing about as I’m certain its just riddled with plot holes but every time I try to edit it I start getting confused

🧿 I have a pretty active social life irl so where possible I like to post right before I’m heading out. Can’t obsessively check Ao3 if I’m out in the pub with friends, and it’s a great way to remind myself that whole fandom culture is fun, it’s not everything.

Of course, at the end of the day I’m only human and I crave that sweet sweet validation so I will do things like resharing links to my work just in case people missed it the first time.

💌 Okay so even though I complained about it earlier, I am definitely most excited right now about my Buddie time loop fic!

As I said, it needs some work, but here’s an excerpt from one of the loops (and sorry again to everyone who originally followed be for steddie/st. Thanks for sticking around on the detour :)

“Okay, something happened,” Hen says to Buck after watching him mope around for the first hours of their shift. It’s not even a question. He’s pale, dull eyed, and listless. Exhaustion radiates from him in waves, and before he can even reply she’s checking his forehead with the back of her hand. “No temperature.”

Buck batts her away, scrubs at his face and smiles thinly at her. It doesn’t reach his eyes.

“I’m fine.”

“I know you wouldn’t lie to me, Buckley,” she says, cocking a brow like she does when Denny takes an extra cookie from the jar and lies about it. Or when Karen does the same. No wonder they’re always running out. “What’s up?”

Buck looks around, uncharacteristically paranoid, and once he seems satisfied they won’t be overheard, he speaks.

“Do you ever feel like everything’s pointless? Like no matter what you do you’re just going to keep making the same mistakes over, and over, and over again?”

So, that’s not what Hen expected. At all.

“Is this about Abby?” She knows Buck’s been down ever since she left, is convinced they're on a break and that any day now she’s going to come back and resume things.

“No.” Buck cocks his head to the side like it hadn’t even occurred to him. Maybe he’s even further in denial than she’d thought. “Maybe? But I don’t think so.”

“You know, it’s not uncommon to experience feelings of depression and despair on the job right? The LAFD has people you can talk to, might help some?

“I don’t know if a therapist can help me with this.”

Would love to hear your review of Artfol once you've settled in a bit! (Probably wouldn't hurt for me to have a more presentable art archive somewhere either, so I'm curious about the alternatives)

of course!! after using artfol for about a week, i do like it! it's still very new, so i wasn't expecting too much off rip from it but it definitely has some good potential if it gets successful!

putting this under a read more because, as per usual, this got long.

to start: the good stuff! good, robust organization thus far for artists. all the art you post gets automatically put in its own separate tab on your profile called gallery in chronological order and any other art and text posts that you share as well as your own art and text posts get put into another tab called feed. the feed is in chronological order from newest to oldest and it's suuuuper nice being able to have an easy place that contains all your original work people can go to without the hassle of punching in specific tags in a search bar (or inputting them into the website url) and hoping for the best. the feed can then be further organized between posts and art, art submitted to challenges, art submitted to submissions and reshares of other peoples stuff.

you can also make collections for your own gallery, so you can have all your fan art in one collection, ocs in another, etc. this isn't just for personal organization either; your separate collections are displayed under the about section on your profile or, if you've got them, links section! i honestly like this a lot. most of my experience of running an art blog comes from tumblr and getting separate pages set up on your blog, while not horribly difficult, does require a bit of knowledge regarding html and manually inputting website urls where you want the links to go. having all of this steam lined is much better. all of this is relatively easy to figure out as long as you're open to just clicking buttons on the website to see what they do, as far as i could find there's no official tutorial available. you can only have a limited number of these without a premium subscription but i haven't a clue as to what that limit even is.

you can also effectively pin certain art pieces that you're proud of to the top of your gallery by putting them in a featured selection. no idea how to do this yet but i do think this in of itself is neat.

customization is light but they cover the basics well. they've got a nice bio and announcement/secondary heading type feature under your username that you can customize, as well as a nice big space for an icon and a big ol' banner you can put your art in. other than that, you can choose a 'theme color' as artfol calls it but it just determines the color of the bar under your banner as far as i can tell on the website version. they also have a separate area for links that automatically turn into the websites icon you're linking back to.

custom warning tags!!! these fully blur the image and you can put as many words to warn others about the content of the art as you want to clarify what someone's getting into if they click show. at first i was worried i could only put one custom warning on an image but nope, it lets you write multiple warnings on the censored image if the NSFW and Gore filters aren't cutting it for the art.

speaking of which; artfol allows NSFW! in places where online spaces have been getting progressively sanitized because big corporations and google ad sense are the ones who can pay the bills of hosting thousands of images and videos on servers, it's nice to see that.

the challenges! other artists can issue challenges to others to either draw their characters in certain outfits, as certain creatures, drawing a piece of art in your style, etc. think some of the various art memes floating around on twitter, except this time they have their own dedicated category! i haven't done any challenges yet but this seems like a great way to socialize with other artists on artfol, as well as stretch your own art skills.

AI art is explicitly banned.

there is an algorithm however it prioritizes art made recently, so artists of all skill level and mediums get a shot at being seen on the front page which is nice! as far as i can tell, your home feed (which is very similar to tumblr's) is in chronological order and doesn't put in any suggested or recommended posts in the middle of the posts of the people you've chosen to follow. the like and share options are easily accessible and when you share someone else's art, it notifies them by telling them that you've pinged them which is... odd to me, but the website doesn't seem to auto credit them any other way in reshares (in contrast, tumblr keeps the OP's username and icon at the top of their own original post when it gets reblogged). i'm also something of a tumblr hermit so this could be a common reshare (reblog?) format else where for all i know and i'm just griping about nothing.

there is a premium subscription you can sign up for as i mentioned earlier. you get stuff like no ads (which you also get if you've got an adblocker on your browser), more collections can be made, you can upload cover art (icons, i think?) for your collections and the art you post, you can have custom profile theme colors (i guess they let you use the color wheel or a hex code instead of the pre seleced colors they already have?) you get more layouts for your featured art on your profile and you don't have to wait 60 days to change your username. oh, and you can make groups that people can join based around one particular thing, however i haven't touched any groups yet because none of them are all that appealing to me.

honestly, a lot of the premium subscription perks are very inconsequential to the core functionality of artfol which is a huuuuge bonus to the devs in my eyes. they easily could have paywalled commission pages or collections all together and them just giving you some extra customization perks instead shows me that the devs are actually focused on making an artist friendly website and app.

over all, artfol is relatively easy to navigate and upload your art to! the base features are solid however the website does have some downsides.

the bad:

the most egregious thing is that I haven't been able to and currently can't access the content guidelines or privacy policy pages. when I first signed up, artfol gave me a link to what the website claimed was the content guidelines however it just linked me to the news page and that really didn't sit well with me.

because the artfol website is so new, I am going to give them a chance and interpret this in the best faith possible and assume that it seems like this is just an issue of certain pages crashing, seeing as I used to be able to access the News page on artfol and now it's just gone like the other pages. on top of that, it seems like every link except for their twitter, android and apple download links, instagram and discord links at the bottom of the artfol website page is broken in the same way. out of all pages eating themselves the content guidelines and privacy policy ones feel like the worse ones to lose. I haven't been able to access the guidelines from the jump and it's been really frustrating. I just got done sending an e-mail to their contact e-mail, so hopefully something good comes from that. in the mean time i've also downloaded the app to try to see if i can find the guidelines and privacy policy on there. I've noticed people complaining about crashing pages in the mobile app reviews so hopefully this is just a case of a website page accidentally eating itself and it's just very unfortunate coincidence that it happens to be some very important pages affected by the crashes.

other than that, the other downsides are that the website takes like a minute and a half to load, clicking on a censored image to view it on your home feed takes you to the individual post and has you un-censor it there rather than directly from your home feed and some features are currently only available to mobile accounts such as commissions tabs, however i'm sure that will eventually be made available to the website version as well in due time. also, while uploading art, not including the custom censor tag or NSFW or gore filters, you can only put 5 tags on your art. these are all only minor annoyances and i'm sure they'll eventually be fixed in upcoming patches.

over all: asides from some concerning hiccups with missing pages, artfol seems very promising for a relatively new, bare bones website! the developers have very much taken a mobile app first, website later approach which at least to me isn't the end of the world, seeing how the website is already doing okay all things considered. the community seems nice and i'm planning on trying out some challenges soon to get more experience using it!

Weird Stuff That Happens statement of boundaries

Hello everyone. This is Sky, and I have something important to address. There's been a recent trend of independent creators setting standards for the fandom behavior they are comfortable with. While Weird Stuff That Happens doesn't have an "active Fanbase" at the time of writing, if you are interested in creating fanworks or other unofficial stuff for the series, this is a guide for how to appropriately approach the series. This post may be updated or changed as necessary.

Interactivity:

First and foremost: Make sure to read the Site FAQ for the content rules before leaving a message on WSTH.

The best ways to interact with WSTH are:

-Leave a comment on an article. You will need a Wix site login for moderation purposes, but you can comment on the site's articles. This is the most reliable way to hear from anyone other than Tom.

-Send a message over site chat. The fictional webmaster Tomtab is online at least once a day, and even if you don't hear from him immediately, it's a good idea to check back to see if he responded to you. Wix may ask for your email but you don't have to use one to use this feature.

-Email. Tom has a working email and if you message him with a question or longer comment he will reply to you.

-Tumblr. The WSTH in-charter account isn't super active, but Tom's ask box is open.

Reshare:

-Any artwork credited in universe to Tom Benedetto or Dr Susan Finch may be reused with credit as long as you are not monetizing or plagiarizing it. Feel free to make edits if you want as long as you credit back to Weird Stuff That Happens.

-Feel free to screenshot anything from correspondence with Tomtab, as long as you properly credit it back to Weird Stuff That Happens.

Social Media:

First and foremost, be respectful of all of the site's crew. Don't spam them, send inappropriate messages, or impersonate them. All of Weird Stuff That Happens social Media accounts are linked to under other websites. WSTH will not be joining Tik-Tok or Facebook at any point. If you find a WSTH account on either site that is not clearly labeled as a fan-page, notify me so they can be taken down.

Other websites:

With the exception of Davespid, the rest of the linked websites on WSTH belong to crew members and associates of the site. Be respectful on these websites and don't hound any of their webmasters.

Gamejacking:

WSTH is an elaborate role play game with a lot of pre-planning. Any deliberate attempt to derail the series plot, lore, or characters will not be tolerated.

Fanart:

Fanart is very encouraged and, as long as it's SFW, Feel free to tag the main series accounts on Tumblr and Instagram with your work.

Fanfiction:

I'm fine with written fanfiction as long as you follow the rest of the rules and don't try to pass it off as official. That being said, please do not try to send any of the crew fanfiction. I hate to be so blunt, but we just aren't going to read it.

NSFW:

This is awkward, but it needs to be addressed. The complete cast of WSTH is over 18, both the Fictional Characters and Actual Crew, but the work itself is intended for a PG-13 audience. NSFW fanworks are ok as long as you don't send it to us. We don't want to see it or hear about it. For the most part, we don't care if it's out there otherwise, but the fandom courtesy that you don't put it in the main tag is encouraged. That being said, there are exceptions to this that we all ask you to respect.

1. Pim. His performer isn't comfortable with NSFW fanworks of him being made so I will ask that you just don't. (Plus it's way OOC anyway, he's aro-ace.)

2. Keep it off the site. The site itself has a no NSFW rule to keep it closer to a general audience and anything NSFW will be taken down.

3. Don't make anything creepy or illegal. No NSFL fan stuff. No dead dove, grapefruit, extreme stuff. Keep it SSC please. None of that Pr0$hip bs, keep it away from my work.

Theories:

Speculation is deeply encouraged. The website has a lot of secrets and things unfolding. That being said, do not try to pass speculation as canon, as that gets into Gamejacking territory. Matpat types fuck off.

Fan Merchandise:

If you try to create your own WSTH merchandise I will do everything in my power to get it taken down. In general, an exception is given to specifically one-of-a-kind commission works, but otherwise, wait till I'm ready to make my own.

Tumblr Crash Course/Welcome

I'm still not over learning some of you joined tumblr because of Talk to Me 😭😍🥹

**Please excuse any terms I use incorrectly and feel free to correct me 🫠 I’m becoming my mom with my slipping grasp of technology 😭 **

Sorry, this site isn't the most intuitive, but I find it much easier as a writer to interact with readers here. I love that people can send me private messages/chats with their thoughts 💗 If you’re new, here's a little TGM fandom tumblr crash course:

First, I love this fandom. The writers are so talented but also incredibly kind. You may see us occasionally have meltdowns around "likes" and interactions, so I'll start there…

There are a lot of things about tumblr that don't make it entirely user friendly, including not having a "save" option for posts that you want to come back to. Enter the "like." On most other social media platforms, a like carries weight. On tumblr, a like can feel ambiguous to a writer because of its dual function as a bookmark

Therefore, generally, the best way to communicate your appreciation for a fic is to reblog it (to raise its visibility) or comment (to let the writer know you read and appreciate their work). If you’re looking at a post, the “reblog” option is the square of arrows. A window will open for you to add a comment and/or gif and/or image and/or Tags. Tags can serve as comments and/or a way for you to organize the the content you’re interacting with (helpful if you want to find it later). Once you post, the reblog appears on your blog for your followers to see

A “comment” can be left with a little speech bubble. Note that a comment goes on the original post, so if the writer is adding to a post that they’re reblogging, you have to tag their blog for them to see it. Apologies, not the clearest explanation, but you’ll get the hang of it!

But not every reader is comfortable with that visibility! Anonymous “asks” are a great way to share a little love. The option to send an “ask” is at the top of a writer’s blog if their asks are “open.” It’s usually a button with some clever way of saying “talk to me.” Lol, which is mine as a nod to Phoenix’s “Talk to me, Bob.” Just dropping a note, a screaming gif, a heart to say “i love your work” means the world. If you’re requesting something, it’s nice to lead with some kind of acknowledgment to the writer. Know that the writer will reshare your thoughts publicly though! So make sure to switch to “anonymous” mode before you start writing so you don’t forget when you post 😊

Also, personally, my messages are always open, and I love hearing from you there too!

That said, even with those varied options, saying anything can be a huge and terrifying stretch for readers, and that’s where I don’t really have an answer 💗 What can I say? When you give up time and important aspects of your life to put words to screen, it helps to know and feel that time is well spent. But I also want this space to feel welcome and open to everyone so demanding that people engage in a certain way, and in any way that is harmful to their well-being, is not conducive to everyone feeling safe and included. A communication work in progress, I guess 😅

I hope you stick around long enough to feel comfortable engaging but if not, I still hope my stories bring you joy 💗 I’ve had to de-prioritize writing quite a bit for the time being but that doesn’t mean I’ve stopped wanting to get to know you all or thinking about you as I’m going about my day or cheering you on when I know you’re going through a tough time or also an amazing time. Life can be pretty rough, so I try to live by the motto “be kind.” I hope you feel that here, and I’m so grateful for the connections I’ve made through our shared love for TGM

I get that you are disappointed that CR isn't speaking up about Palestine, but you people need to stop expecting white celebrities to be advocates for something that they probably don't know shit about. They're staying in their lane and I rather that be the case than see them say something uneducated or harmful. As for you, since you seem to hate them so much, remove your silly little profile picture, change it to a Palestinian flag and actually do some real legwork by elevating posts by Palestinians, rather than going on this pointless crusade and forcing a D&D group to speak on a topic that is none of their business. Elevate voices of ACTUAL Palestinians ffs...You folks are so damn performative when it comes to who you want to speak up. Your desire for white saviours is showing...

You’re truly just yapping, first of all These guys arent 15 year old kids playing DND stop acting like they’re not grown ass adults who can easily learn about what the fuck is happening i’m sure they see shit online , as for my pfp i only put it as this to get attention from CR fans, And i do elevated Palestinians ? I’ve been advocating for them ? I’ve been boycotting numerous of things, posting donations and news on what’s happening on other accounts you don’t know shit about me to make a huge assumption that i’m “performative.” on top of that Im resharing Palestinian art, food, photos on other platforms as well.. so seriously shut the fuck up..

I’m not even white dumbass so thanks for randomly assuming my race and assuming i don’t genuinely care about what’s going on all because I am disappointed in my once favorite people ! Wanting to add its “none of their business.” yet the speak up about million other things, donate to million other things but not this? Interesting especially since they stole from Palestinian cultures for their shitty campaign. Black lives matter wasnt their business yet the spoke up, Ukraine wasn’t their business yet again they spoke up.

[sanguinifex]

My brother in Christ, maybe you should try to only answer asks when you're sober, because holy fuck. A single polite ask didn't warrant a God damn novel about the evils of asking people to tag content. You could have just said no. Also, you're using the term "emotional labor" incorrectly.

Ok, now that I am sober:

Maybe I got a little more wordy about it than I should have last night, but I'm still right. I don't owe anyone tags, and it's a toxic social norm on tumblr to act like other people are supposed to do 90% of the work on dealing with your own problems.

I'm not using "emotional labor" incorrectly. Instead of curating your own experience or accepting that social media sites will make you uncomfortable sometimes (and that that isn't a bad thing), you're expecting other users to blog on eggshells around you and consider whether you might find something upsetting and then type tags about it.

Fuck off with even "ironic" Christian bullshit.

Asking for something unreasonable and presumptuous in a "polite" tone doesn't actually make the request polite.

Additionally, there's a difference between a personal microblog--on a site where people mostly reshare content--and sites or platforms where people primarily create content for an audience. If I'm creating something like a fic on AO3 or an image on Pixiv, I will tag that, for discoverability and to tell people about it. But if I'm resharing stuff, the only thought process is "hey that's neat." Basically, when I create something for an audience, I have a responsibility to that audience, of sorts. (How much responsibility is another topic of discussion.) Here on tumblr, I don't necessarily want an audience. I used to want all the followers and fame, but I don't anymore. I also don't want to make my blog super searchable for algorithms, corporate overlords, or people who get a suspicious amount of self-gratification from making callout posts.

Now, if a mutual were to ask nicely, that's a situation where I value the relationship, so I'd be more willing to tag. But a stranger coming along and asking me to do extra work because they just think something is yucky? Nah. People need to learn to be emotionally uncomfy sometimes, and to become comfortable with that dissonance. Also, I don't owe them that labor. And when someone's first interaction with me is basically negging my blog, I don't want to do it out of goodwill, either.

Writing Promtp 001

Writing Prompt: For (Character), there was no such thing as solitude.

A/N: I’m going to do this for Bakugou because I feel like this prompt fits him.

BZZT

BZZT

BZZT

BZZT

BZZT

BZZZZZ-

“GOD FUCKING DAMMIT!!!” Bakugou yelled, grabbing his phone off of his nightstand angrily. It was finally the weekend, and after a particularly grueling week of school -along with having to see Deku’s annoying face for more than five minutes- he just wanted to have some peace and quiet. So why couldn’t he?

Because he was the leader of the Bakusquad. This, of course, means that ever since the Sports Fest he had to be added to every -and I mean EVERY- single group chat they made. It’s like an unspoken rule between them all except Bakugou, who couldn’t care less. They were just extras, so why the hell should he care what they say and gossip about? (He secretly checks to see if they say anything about him, which they're smart enough not to do before he says something to ruin their whole careers.) That was his usual attitude towards the whole thing, but today they were starting to get even more annoying than usual. Opening his phone, he started to aggressively tap against his screen, the sound of his nails rapidly pecking at the device the only other noise in his room aside from his angered huffing.

King of Explodo-Kills: WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE?! DO YOU NOT HAVE LIVES?!?!

Kirisunshine: Eyyy Bakubro! What’s up?

Ah, Kirishima Ejirou. Ever the enthusiastic of the bunch when Bakugou actually presents himself anywhere near them. Because of this, however, it made him the subject of Ashido’s teasing remarks about him having an infatuation for the Porcupine spiky-haired blonde male; Which he ignored because he knew how she got when she felt comfortable around people and that Ashido was only being idiotic to get a rise out of Bakugou. Or was she?

King of Explodo-Kills: THE FUCKING SKY, WEIRD HAIR!!!

Minamama: Lml be more original Bakuhoe, almost everyone says that.

 The aforementioned female who loves to get Bakugou upset to an extent, Ashido Mina. She’s usually the ringleader of the squad whenever something stupid or hilarious happens, and almost always is the one who starts the group chats. Since the Sports Festival, there has been a total of fifteen group chats made and she has yet to delete any of them. To avoid doing that, she just adds the rest of the class minus Mineta, or she boots the others and makes it a chat for all the girls. The blackmail material is enough to last them three lifetimes.

King of Explodo-Kills: THE FUCK DID YOU CALL ME?! I’LL KICK YOUR ASS!!!!

Tape Measure: Lol Mina, don’t pull his leash. Leave that for Kirishima.

Hanta Sero, the mediator/instigator of the group. He and Mina tend to make hell break loose whenever Bakugou is around, but they always manage to reel it and Bakugou in when things get out of hand.

Pichu: Lolololololol

Denki Kaminari, the Certified Idiotic Memer ™ of the group. Most of his memes are either stolen or recycled from Mina whenever she posts them in other chats. Also the butt of the joke in every chat because he walks into any and every situation. Sad Bois.

King of Explodo-Kills: SHUT YOUR FACE FLEX TAPE

King of Explodo-Kills: YOU TOO ELECTRIC DUNCEFACE!

Kirisunshine: LOLOLOLOLOL HE RHYMED

Pichu: *dejected yee noises*

Bakugou huffed. ‘These idiots need to get a life.’ They always had to find an irritating way to make him occupied when he’d rather be lazy for once, and they obviously had no intention of ever leaving him alone. Though, he would rather die than admit that he actually enjoys their presence in his life somewhat.

Minamama: You know what you need Bakuhoe?

Minamama: A partner.

Minamama: Preferably Kirishima.

King of Explodo-Kills: HAAAAAAAA?! THE FUCK ARE YOU GOING ON ABOUT NOW RACCOON EYES?!

Kirisunshine: M-Mina… Please stop, that’s embarrassing.

Pichu: Wait, Kiri and Bakugou are gay?

Tape Measure: No you idiot, Mina’s just being dumb.

Kirisunshine: I’m pretty sure I’m straight.

King of Explodo-Kills: AND I AM PERFECTLY FINE ON MY FUCKING OWN DAMMIT!

Minamama: HE DIDN’T DENY BEING GAY!

King of Explodo-Kills: I WILL BLOW YOUR KIRBY LOOKING ASS TO DUST!!

Pichu: We just gonna collectively ignore that Kirishima is only pretty sure he’s straight-

Tape Measure: Shhhhh, Bakugou is gonna kill Mina.

For Bakugou Katsuki, there was no such thing as solitude.

Hi yes, I was bored and wanted to try sumn 

Constructive criticism is welcome but don’t be nasty or I’ll be nastier to you! I’m pretty sure no one wants that! : )

Alright! To our takeaways! In this chapter:

Oh, we finally get to see Tatsumi again! I missed this man! 🥰 Working hard at the clinic.

YAS! Shizuma and Minato love making! 🥰❤️💛Super YABAI, might I just say.

And even more YABAI moments!

Aww, adorable Minato in-between all the love-making! You're too adorable, bb! 😍

Not going to lie to you, more than half this chapter is Shizuma and Minato being all YABAI, hehe!

Wow, seriously some passionate YABAI moments. Is it getting hot in here or is it just me? 🔥🔥🔥

Okay, back to Tatsumi! Aww bb, please don't compare yourself to Shizuma too much! You are a blessing and a great vet too, in your own way! 😭

Onodera finally recognises him and his skills as a vet! BLESS! 😭😭

OMG THAT ONODERA TWIST! 😲😲😲

And that’s it for this chapter’s takeaways! We have a nice balance between steamy Shizuma and Minato lovemaking, and Tatsumi and Onodera at the clinic.

For a more detailed breakdown/summary of this chapter, please continue after the cut! There may or may not be a surprise (or way more) there. Please keep reading if you want to see~😉✨

HELLO AGAIN! Thank you for clicking the keep reading tab! I've actually had to relocate the summaries this time around! Fear not, I've left it how I originally wrote it, so you won't miss a single detail~! 😍

AND I WASN'T EXPECTING THAT ONODERA REVEAL! I mean, it's been up for debate since Hinohara-sensei posted that tweet about it, and I had some lingering thoughts about Onodera, but DANG! The revelation is still WOW! I hope we learn more about Onodera soon? I'm also wondering if the girl in the photograph is/was Onodera's girlfriend or is at least deeply related to this Onodera mystery! Also, I'm not too sure how I'll continue referring to Onodera in the coming takeaways, but to continue with how the characters see Onodera, I'll (for now) continue using she/her.

EDIT 2022-01-25: Thank you for being so patient with me! I finally had the chance to proofread everything~ There might be a few more changes/updates later on, but for now, it's all good! Also, I've changed N5F\/\/ to YABAI in this post so it doesn't get ⛳! Thanks again, and enjoy~💜

📢 As always, please support Hinohara-sensei by purchasing her books, CDs, and merch! 📢

And please also refrain from resharing these translations and images outside of my posts! Thank you for understanding! ❤️💛

There will be a chapter in next month's Dear+, so I shall see you all again then to find out what happens next!

Again, thank you for reading! 💜 Let me know your thoughts in the comments! There's a lot to dissect, as always! 😍

And thank you again for your understanding about the change in structure for this post! Hopefully regular posting will resume next month! 🤞

And, moreover, stay safe during these turbulent times and look out for each other and for your loved ones! 💜❤️💛

I read the article about you. If they had asked you for permission, would you have given them permission? Personally, I think that they should have.

For context for who doesn't follow me on Twitter:

A journalist made an article about me and my cosplay without asking my permission. I found out about it by accident. Link to the article.

Honestly...eeeh, maybe not. I was already skeptical about Bethesda posting my cosplay on their social media accounts, despite this not being the first time they contacted me to ask me about resharing my work, but the main reasons for my skepticism are:

This is ME in a costume we are talking about. Not a drawing, that is literally me in an eva foam/resin/fabric warm ass death-trap.

I'm already pretty uncomfortable with sexual comments, which is sadly for my poor asexual ass not uncommon in the cosplay community. I get it. Space marine killer of monsters. That's your kink. However, usually married strangers don't appreciate when you randomly tell them your appreciation for the size of your penis.

I don't like journalism. I'm sorry, but most articles are usually some of the most over the top exaggerated shit.

The cosplay WAS NOT FINISHED at the time. It still isn't right now.

They wrote an article without interviewing me (which is usually what I did in the past, when during cons journalists asked me the permission to write articles about me), so they ended up pretty much writing stuff with little to no context other than the title I wrote at the time I made the Reddit post. Like damn, if they asked me they probably would have gotten more material to write about...like the fact alone that I call the costume "stylized Doom II cosplay" because nobody knows who the fuck Corporal Flynn Peter Taggart is.

At least they tagged me (with the Cynder024 nickname instead of my actual "Cynder 0.2.4" one), but hey.

Anyways. Consent is always important, NSFW and SFW context. Want to repost a drawing? Ask to the artist. Want to take a picture with/of a cosplayer? Ask them. Want to write an article about a cosplayer/artist? Ask them and maybe do your job and interview them too.

Hope they got paid more than $5, at least.

Halloween A.K.A Samhain, Don't celebrate This..!!

Just a little blog post here with important information that I need to reshare once again since tomorrow is Halloween basically Samhain and you might be wondering why I titled Halloween that? It ain't samhain those two are different "holidays" or you maybe one of those who realize welp that's truthful but who cares it's nothing bad because you maybe Satanist yourselves trying to hide the truth to get more kids into worshipping Satan to adults as well but let me first tell you the starting point before I crash my car xD.

First of all Halloween name was never that nor spooky day, or Hallows Eve it's real name is samhain an occult date that Satanist, witches, occult people like to worship Satan in which they basically do ritualistic acts that includes doing blood sacrifices, thats why you notice the obvious pattern of people disappearing to dying more on this "holiday", that's why they tell you to be careful, like honestly what type of fun, safe holiday specifically warns people's children to stay safe? Why? Well yes they are creeps out there but on this specific date a lot of them appear more then usually and it gets heavily demonically wicked. To further add on; what type of holiday doesn't allow adults to join in but get them to do parties instead where they get drunk, don't realize what occurs to them 100% of the time no matter where they are the alcohol already does damage to your health badly, but when this occurs adults in costumes tend to go missing even more on this holiday..very odd don't you think? Like really, if you sit there do your research to notice how many people go missing to dying on that day it is legit disturbing to see how badly large it is.

Yet back to the topic of only children doing these activities, which any occult member would deny this while some wouldn't care to state that it is the truth but I digress, the reason for the children being the core of the top of the cake is because children are inoccent their blood(can't believe i got to type this down cause it's legit uncomfortable..ugh) is ...ugh ripe for these freaks to use for their ritual, their souls is what makes it even better for their satanic rituals to go without a hitch.. its vomit worthy I know..its why the parents go to keep their children safer on samhain.

To continue on, the only want children not adults because we can defend ourselves easily by using objects to biting, etc sadly yes adults to die on samhain but they aren't use specifically much yet they still do use them for blood sacrifices, doing rituals, either way bad stuff for adults.

---------------------------------------------------

Now onto the next important topic, you maybe still skeptical, like hey love, ya know yes it's bad but we don't do any of these rituals at all, we don't even celebrate it all we wanna do is enjoy ourselves and party - well sorry to burst that bubble, but *yes* you are celebrating these occultic satanic samhain because in the activities that the fish basically the bait does to worship Satan by doing the ritual is trick-or-treating, and wearing the costume as well(note; like you can cosplay as any of these characters any date of the month don't be depressed about something so silly like this, like Halloween isn't the date to dress up only, there are other months to days, just this holiday itself is Satan worshipping)

So yes you are taking part on it, blindlessly and foolishly plus the decorating yes that's part of it too, if you want a further detail explanation to be more blunt easier then me just slam dunking it here is a video a sister has done breaking it down in a easy for you all to understand it;

..but yep..I will not be partaking in this garbage, I will instead be walking out, with my doggie, my sibling to watch leaves change colors, and i will have the Bible with me reading the word of the lord ♡♡♡ so if you wanna do the same i encourage to do so :3 get the legs moving sisters, and brothers to reading the Bible on a satanic date really helps those who are lost as well just allowing them to hear God's words in that date ...gosh i know it will smack the crap out of those demons, if you want to simply pray fasting do so.

the c*wbu*ld drama is still absolutely insane. like paywalled creators tend to have that god complex but the fact that she has never modelled anything she sells to the point she was found asking for to rotate an object in blender is something that truly sets her apart from the rest of glorified >turn into 3d object photoshop option creators. like the minimal mesh edits she has done have been found to be stolen uncredited meshes from free creators, and the rest have been tracked down to several 3d models sites. and yet not only she personally, manually adds an identifying code to every single patreon she has to track who dares to steal her cc, but also grossly, illegally even, doxxed a person, on her patreon, because she found out she was one of the reposters. like, not the patreon account only, which i find annoying but understandable, but a secondary mail, full name and facebook page with all her personal info and face. first as if someone would ask for an id for a highpoly chair, and second and most important, for the illegal commercialization of content she didn't even make. she simply bought it or asked to use it from real modellers and then put it on the blender with the free tools given by the community and sells it in a tou equally if not even a little bit more deranged than f*lix*ndre's. like in her patreon tiers she says "this cc is worth 10k actually" and nothing else, doesn't even give credit to the pages or at least modeller she took it from. not only it goes against ea's law of commercializing cc but also she's selling something that isn't even hers. and she posted someone's face and full name for daring to reshare it publicly. anyways i think the paywalled cc creators should be hunted down in the class war
