@ the gay people at your gay job

I'm very much a "do whatever you want as long as you're not hurting anybody" kind of person but some things just need to be left in middle school and be more chill is one of them

no exactly like do what u love and love what u do etc and i hope ur happy but get better taste period . not to drop some random oliver lore but i was one of the first people to ever read the be more chill script back when there was only a script and an audio bootleg and i was a fan THEN (i was 13-14) and then after like a few months i realized it was bad and lame LOL like i was 14 and i got that it was bad grow up.....

but also at the same time i don't wanna hate on gay people as a whole i don't think we're all cringe and certainly not everyone at my job is but i feel a certain level of just not being able to relate to them at all. it's always the corniest gay jokes and ones that have been said a million times that aren't funny anymore and i'm glad they make each other laugh but i just fake laugh along and pretend i think ur "ha ha gotta go back into the closet!" (in reference to our free clothing exchange closet) is hilarious...idk. it's all so generic and unfunny and i have such a hard time relating to people in the queer community sometimes because i feel like our experiences are so vastly different. idk...idk. & i met some transfem people who are so not like that and it's been so validating to see that the queer/trans experience exists outside of 2016 tumblr humor and stufffff idk this might not make a ton of sense and i probably have more to say but i can't think super well rn :( anyway <33333

re: that HEFTY siffrin sweep on id5’s isat favourite blorbos poll — this might sound silly but i do actually think it’s kinda fascinating that isat, as a game so inseparably steeped in (for lack of a better way to describe it) queer fandom culture, managed to so completely sidestep the common Fandom Phenomenon that i suspect was behind the poll in the first place by creating a main character that is also overwhelmingly the fan favourite character for once.

obviously there are any number of factors we could point at to explain the extent to which siffrin nomiddlenames nolastnames manages to grab people and absolutely not let go, but personally i think one of the most interesting ones to consider is the one specific to the medium — that is, how siffrin subverts the “silent blank slate video game protagonist” archetype in such a way that happens to be primo brainrot breeding grounds.

like, when a video game dev makes a silent protagonist it’s usually a bid to maximize immersion by closing the aesthetic distance between player and character as much as possible, right? which is especially true of rpg video games — players find connection in the generic, as that is what gives you the freedom of motion to insert yourself into the story in whatever unique shape suits you best. you are your character and your character is you.

(as ever, post ran long. yall know the drill. tossin in a quick header pic before thoughts on blank slates & blorboification continue under the cut)

and then you’ve got siffrin, who is expressly pointed out to be the taciturn type; who when initially giving the player exposition about their journey so far doesn’t seem to hint at a life or history or even really any motivations outside the journey; whose every thought and action is narrated in second person so as to keep tracing and re-tracing the connection between him and you.

even their design — all darkless and shapeless, bundled up in that big cloak, as if an invitation for you to fill it in with whatever lets you relate to them most! at this point they are their own character for sure, but they also have enough very clear parallels going on with the silent protagonist archetype to feel more than accidental.

of course, as you keep playing you start to recognize that his blankness is much, much more than just a grab at immersion; his apparent lack of backstory, itself a fundamental piece of backstory. this is where he flips dramatically in the player’s perception from “generic vessel for story delivery” to “thoroughly multidimensional character trapped within endless torment nexus custom-built to target and exacerbate all his very specific worst traits rooted in very specific traumas”.

yknow, the good stuff !

but by then you have also been playing enough to be feeling the effects of the thing isat’s design does best of all. i’m talkin bout that ludonarrative lockstep baby. every piece of isat’s gameplay is designed to make you feel what siffrin is feeling — you understand by now that he is not a stand-in for you, but all the same you share in his frustration, his grief, his rare moments of joy and the subsequent heart-in-your-shoes devastation when that joy is inevitably poisoned — and through it all, the desperate grasping for anything new — all as if they were every bit your own.

so in this way the connection is maintained, even if you were someone for whom siffrin’s particular traits & struggles might not otherwise cause you relate to them at all if you had encountered them elsewhere, in a setting where you weren’t actively controlling them as a player. siffrin still gets to carry all the “just like me fr” impact of the blank slate protagonist in the tropes he embodies and in the game mechanics’ design, while totally free to evolve completely into his own character and keep you relating to closely them all the same. now toss back in the fact that said traits & struggles very much ARE of a flavour that a great many people Would Tend To Relate To and just like that you’ve got a perfect storm cookin.

too individual and compellingly written to be an empty vessel for plot delivery. too closely connected with the player’s emotional state to be a story observed impassively from the outside. he has 92 mental illnesses and for the low low price of free u can give him yours to carry too. nobody is doin it like him. congratulations on your well-deserved nose sniffrin nomiddlenames nolastnames <3

bf!pope x earthy/boho!gf!reader (moodboards and aesthetic) i don't like it at all (feel like it's rushed...)but i love the earthy core so bad.

“ sweet creature, sweet creature. wherever i go. you bring me home ” harry styles lyrics.

i picture earthy!boho!reader like the most peaceful soul and mind. she has her own world, and bring pope in everytime. she's always smiling and helpful. she helps pope, even if he doesnt ask. this reader don't try to fix him, or whatever, she's just caring. and try to understand why the kindness boy of the world doesnt have the most beautiful and heartwarming life ? she help him to reconnect with nature but also his culture, she's like the daughter of the nature, an earthy nymph who love peace more than anything.

but she also loves jazz, random refreshing places, she has a bunch of cats that she never forget to feed. pope helps her to rescue some abandonned animals, bobby heyward really love her, she lives in her garden with full of flowers and plants like a fairy, she loves making homemade meals, hanging out near lakes, taking therapeutic walks, staying in the grass for hours.

while pope works, she paints him. because she loves his focused face. he's like a muse. his face is a work of art.

she has a ton of boho jewelry that she shares with pope. because he is not afraid to wear necklaces, bracelets, foot and waist chains like her.

she is definitely an artist who makes music (flute and tom-tom), and indie films. she smoke weed.

she wants to adopt children later.

even though she is uncertain about her future, all she knows is that she wants to be with pope forever. she save money for their future needs.

dynamics core ;

you love taking your shower at the waterfall with him, kissing him while the water continues to flow over the two of you. you like to ride bikes in pairs on abandoned paths. you like to take him to drink coconuts and bissap. you like hanging out with him at the bookstore and especially when he carries you on his back because you're too lazy to walk.

I know this man loves braiding your hair, but especially adding flowers, jewelry and accessories.

he loves taking photos of you when you have a butterfly on your skin, a ladybug on your hand, a chick on your legs, a cat in your arms.

he's in love your honor. and you're his safe place.

( hope you like it bby @annoyingassleo <33 i did my best actually or i tried. )

Yk what blows my mind is when i’m reading something amazing right, i am so immersed in the story the writing is beautiful it’s making me feel more emotions than i’ve ever felt in all my years of living and then the end notes are just like. “uhhh hope u enjoyed ig? haha” or “idek what this is lol” like sir ma’am my guy your writing is the most gorgeous thing i have ever read. i cried and i laughed and i screamed and i did that thing where you roll around in bed and giggle like a child at 3am. if it was the zombie apocalypse and i could only take one story with me as i fought to survive it would be yours. “what even is this lmao” a masterpiece. a fucking masterpiece is what it is

[eemiejab]

Happy Halloween!!! :D

[raayllum]

god like even the context of Rayla going "I leapt to my certain death but YOU SAVED ME" is like. no wonder she refuses to consider the ugly alternative in 4x07. no wonder she's so steadfast that "You're the destiny is a book you write yourself guy" because she's seen Callum not only rewrite his own fate multiple times, but he's rewritten the end of her story countless times over, too

[miyamoratsumuu]

post may or may not be cringe, but we're rolling with it 🤙🏼

I dreaded having to do this (again) all year long, but guess who's going on a semi-hiatus!!!! hint: me ☝🏻 (I'll call it semi bc I'll prob be lurking around here and there still, lmao)

most of you may know, but I've been super busy with school lately given that I'm graduating this year, sooo I'm predicting it rn I won't be able to write anything for a while 😞

it's not that I don't have free time at all, it's just that everything that's been on my mind lately is shoolschoolschool, and I almost never think of anything else 😭 + I can't find it in myself to have the mental capacity to balance everything I have going on here and aiming to be at the podium once graduation comes around

though I will be posting chapter 6 of push & pull this week, AND maybe a teaser for score his heart?? but idk, we'll see! if I do end up posting both of those, I think that'll be it for a while

I'm so sorry to be letting anyone down, especially those who have been enjoying my ongoing series so far</3 I promise that once I make the time to write in between school and my social life outside of tumblr, I'll be back to writing/posting better than ever!!

I'll just take this opportunity to thank everyone for supporting me and my works this past summer vacation!! I truly believe I wouldn't have been able to survive the summer heat without you all 🤕

thank you all so so much, I hope you understand!! as I mentioned, I'll still be lurking around the app and answering asks/messages if necessary!! I LOVE YOU ALL SOOO MUCH, I'LL BE BACK BETTER THAN EVER, I PROMISE!!<33

[eggyolkguzzler]

why do you think seb hates you?? Thinks ermm uhhh brain blast!!!

— miles

You mean good ol' Sebberoni and Cheese? He's... Weird. I dunno.

Maybe he doesn't hate me. Maybe he does. I can never tell. I think I just... don't get him.

He'll say nice things, and then he'll look at you like you smell bad. He's into super cool stuff, but he'll get all snarky if you like something that he doesn't like. Sometimes he'll hang out with me, but sometimes he avoids me like I have a disease.

He never said he hated me, but he never said he liked me either! He's just so... Confusing! UGH!

...

And still he's the coolest guy I ever met... All I wanna do is talk to him. But he never wants to talk to anybody else. Ever.

If I was as cool as Sebs, I'd never shut up! I'd be constantly reminding people of how awesome I am!

But he doesn't do that...

And I don't get it!

...

Maybe it's just me. Am I not cool enough to hang out with him? Yoba, I can't do anything right, can I?

hello!! I'm new to tumblr and I just wanted to ask how you colored some of the text in your pinned a different color, it looks really pretty!! + (I CAN'T GO WITHOUT MENTIONING THAT YOUR WRITING IS AMAZING TOO HBJSADLKJK)

mini tutorial time ig–

♡. TEXT FADER .♡

so,, first thing u gotta do is enter this web to insert the text you wanna edit and choose the hex colors you'd like to use– it can be just one solid shade or fade it from 2 to 20 colors. once it's done, a color code will be generated.

♡. HTML POST .♡

after generating it, go to the post you want to work on and, clicking the settings button, change the text editor to HTML to paste the previous code and save. as far as I know this only works on Tumblr web, so you might want to use your laptop/computer or go to chrome instead of the app.

♡. EDIT TEXT (ADDITIONAL) .♡

after saving, you can already see the colored text on your post. if you wish, continue editing it however you want (making it bold, cursive, small size, etc etc) and don't be afraid of messing it up as long as Tumblr's predetermined text editor is on. finished, quick example:

mwah mwah mwah!
