#not seeing the pfps extremely bothers me

[liikeglitterandgcld]

so... hi

is anyone else having problems with the dashboard unfucker script along with xkit rewritten to have pfps appear in reblogged posts? or am i the only one?

[tododeku-or-bust]

Question; what is your opinion on white people having characters of color as their pfp? I definetely dont think it’s wrong per say, especially since i know a lot of poc use white characters as pfps and people can just enjoy a character, but it feels a bit odd in some cases (i'm a nonblack poc btw). Now that i'm thinking about it anime pfps are /extremely/ common and most of the characters are japanese and it doesn't feel as weird to me, so i guess part of what rubs me the wrong way is that, since most people using black or brown characters as a pfp are black or brown, it feels like a form of racefaking with plausible deniability. Does this make sense? Or am i overreaching?

I hear what you're saying, tbh I'd never really thought about it until now. But yeah it happens daily where I think someone is potentially Black bc of their profile pic. Usually what I do is go to their page, and look at their description or their pinned (professional creators or those with commissions usually have kofis and such). If I don't see "Black" there, the last line of defense is the first couple posts. If I can't tell by a scroll in, I'm assuming you're not Black until you say so. It's an unfortunate part of being on the Internet lmao you gotta check. Some people be lying.

As for your anime character point, I think if Black characters were as ubiquitous as anime characters, I'd be less bothered. Like if someone's got a Miles Morales pfp, I'm fine. Bc that's Miles! We know him! But... It's situational for me on the rest. I don't wanna assume everybody's race faking, maybe they really like that character! But... Performative racists 'stanning' characters of color? More likely than you think, unfortunately 🤣 it's a hard battle and frankly, I've found that it's growing old. So I ain't fighting nobody on that, imma just block em if I must.

Headcanons!

- He's 19 years old.

- He began working at Reddy's when he was 16.

- He has ADHD, Is on the Autistic spectrum, and has C-PTSD (complex PTSD)

- His default reaction to a majority of things is fear or panic.. This is mainly a trauma response.

- He's quite short, around 5'2. Also he's pretty skinny (Pretty underweight.. but not a dangerous amount.)

- He's very easily startled, just a simple loud sound or someone talking to him when he didn't notice they were there is enough to spook him.

- He's very bothered by loud noises and doesn't like being in noisy places much.

- He doesn't like being around arguments. He fears that the argument may escalate and become loud/aggressive, and also fears that he'll be dragged into the argument somehow.

- He's almost constantly tired, due to him working several jobs and also his just general neglect to take care of himself.

- He commonly has periods of becoming non-verbal/closed off. Usually happening when he's upset/tired.

- Despite how outgoing and extroverted he seems on the phone call in the pizzeria, or over the intercom in the emporium, he generally displays a pretty timid, nervous, paranoid, and introverted personality. When around people he trusts, he's more open letting his true personality shine.

- He's extremely clumsy. Often has scrapes and bruises due to accidents

- He doesn't remember who his parents are, he never really talks about it but this bothers him quite deeply.

- He is a hybrid between an eastern and western dragon. His late sister, Desdemona, had more western dragon traits.

- He had no knowledge on Gnarpy until he was 18 and visited Two Stud camp and discovered what xey did to Spud, and was attacked by xem not long after he made that discovery. He despises Gnarpy and thinks of xem as a terrible person.

- When he encountered Gnarpy at Two Stud camp, he had a gut feeling something was VERY wrong, and he felt he was at risk around them.

- While he doesn't remember.. His parents were killed by Gnarpy and he was also attacked by Gnarpy and left to die, only to be saved by strangers who he isn't able to remember.

- He has pretty bad memory issues as a result of a severe head injury (from Gnarpy) that he doesn't remember getting. He remembers very little about his parents and his childhood as a result.

- He has a pretty severe scar on his right shoulder and neck that he got from being shot at by Gnarpy's laser blaster.

- He sometimes experiences spikes of pain in the scar on his shoulder.

- He usually wraps his tail around himself absentmindedly as a like shielding thing.

- He wraps his tail around someone else if he's near someone he's comfortable with/trusts

- He isn't the most touchy person in the world, but he does seek physical comfort from people he trusts.

- He can see decently well in the dark, albeit there needs to be some light around for him to be able to see a substantial amount.

- His mental health isn't the greatest.. lots of self doubt and self loathing.

- He prefers to wear hoodies.. to hide the scar on his shoulder easier, also he just generally finds them more comfortable.

- He has scars on his arms, and often has bandaged arms.

- He claws at his arms when stressed, upset, or afraid.

hi were you aware you are the FUNNIEST person on my dashboard by the way? i haven’t thought about pfps or them of me (I AM NOW THINKING ABOUT BOTH HOWEVER) but i do have a full list of my contacts of them ! i have gone into detail about my reasoning and also cannot stop talking about these guys so this ask is likely 3 miles long. anyway

the one gc with a solid name is “sweet tooth,” with barbatos, luke, n i. based on ‘sweet tooth’ and the fact that i feel my ability to bake would SKYROCKET if i had their numbers. there’s one with lucifer and dia that’s essentially just the ship name and whether or not they realize the significance beyond just “oh it’s our names” is constantly up in the air.

lucifer — ‘COLOGNE(?!)’ to ‘inkwell’. he 100% has a very distinctive cologne, i know you can tell him apart in a dark room. he uses fountain pens for official documents still (a mishap has been caused where one of his bottles spilled over his suit)(don’t ask)(satan may or may not have been involved) and at some point the name had to change. i also just think it’s a sweet nickname.

mammon — ‘monopoly man’ to ‘anklet haver’. his pants are never short enough to see it but he always manages to wear one. it’s like a shiny jumpscare. the first time i saw it it sparked a half hour discussion and the consequential contact change. he was only mildly upset (they don’t have monopoly)(he didn’t know what it meant outside of maybe ‘monopolizing time’ which is the cause of his problem with it)(stop fussing this isn’t some declaration i’ll never spend time with you again)(his contact for me after this is probably ‘anklet.’ he insists it’s because of like manacles cause “you’re always botherin me” but nobody buys it)

levi — ‘levi-fi’ to ‘jean main :/‘ after i put genshin in yet another media because he got lucky one time and it has become his entire genshin career. i like to think he’s biased towards turn-based strategies, stuff with very obvious and clear cut metas, so he probably didn’t pick up genshin (he does know a few characters and their surface lore, owns an acrylic stand of like keqing maybe, but nothing in depth) until i brought it up. i need to talk w him for hours about lore it would be good for my mental health

satan — sebastian, at first. autocorrect from a poorly written attempt at his name that stuck. he gets confused because ‘that’s not my name, and it’s not a joke, so why is it my contact?’ and after explaining it we both start to periodically change the other’s contact to be something further and further away from their name each time. think of the barnacle codswallop joke but taken to the extreme because it’s him and i’m me and we both quietly one up each other by sending screenshots of the new contact.

asmo — cycles ‘PINK(IE)’ and ‘dni after 10pm’. both are self explanatory and said affectionately. he gets mock offended whenever it’s the second one (“is my contact set to dni” “yeah” “so you hate me?” “asmo.”) and changes the heart in my contact (you know there is one) to a 💔 every time he notices. he doesn’t fix it until i, direct quote, “kiss it better.” despite his phrasing it typically is just his excuse to take me to a cafe for a while or something

beel — ‘chef gordon’ to ‘nokia brick.’ can he cook? yes. does he? not often, he’d rather eat the raw ingredients. was just brick but it was soon discovered he can navigate the most complicated uis to order his lunch but he has no idea how to like. change his brightness. it doesn’t bother him so he never looked it up.

belphie — ‘totally not suspicious’ to ‘pillow princess’ change after an invisible arc that the devs didn’t decide to show where [i devolve into an irritated blur about chapter 16]

luke — macaro(o?)n. i still forget which ones which. i think it would be fun to call him so he’d have to explain it out of his Baker Pride or something. he feels like the type to send you 10 links to various cooking sources if you ask “how do i make scrambled eggs” because he doesn’t know which one you mean.

simeon — golden bunny. bunny is autocorrect from ‘bonnie,’ logic is angel -> michael -> william. sidenote but he’d either get so startled at jumpscares or he’d be completely stonefaced and both are hilarious outcomes. levi is very conflicted about this (can’t criticize him, he’d die, but also very confused about the situation)

barbatos — barbie girl 💞💞💞. self explanatory. this one starts fights sometimes (/silly)

diavolo — ‘princiPAL’ to ‘dewdrop’ after a friendship arc. no justification i just think it’s cute and fits him :]

barbatos naming his close contacts after tea is brilliant and i am stealing it. if you’d like to use this ask to share your headcanons about their little mannerisms pretty please feel free to share!!! id love to hear them :]

- blue !

WAAAAH thank you i do enjoy making people smile/laugh . also thank you for this ask being so long its been so delightful to read over :D sorry my reply is going to be about the same length because im so AWWAAWWAAWAAA over your ideas honestly

sweet tooth is SUCH a fun group chat name . yall better make sure to share those sweets with me okay /silly

also subtly not-so-subtly shipping diavolo and lucifer to their faces is so funny. i feel like lucifer would Know but he doesnt want to admit that he knows or bring it up at all in case it makes dia uncomfy sdkfjhkds

i really like those lucifer ideas. he definitely wears a very distinctive cologne . the only thing i can liken it to (to me at least) is the way gin feels going down your throat, but like . in smell form instead, if that makes sense?? and inkwell is so fitting but simultaneously i feel like hed be Cross over it (but only on a surface level. if somebody else notices it he gets all grumpy but as long as its just you hes cool with it)

im losing my mind at the idea of mammon wearing an anklet . when i first read the nickname my brain immediately went to those house arrest anklets people wear. like, lucifer putting one on him because mamms is a mischievous little guy. HIM BEING HTE MONOPOLY MAN IS SO FUNNY TO ME ACTUALLY . you know he always insists on being the banker when you introduce everyone to the game and skims cash off the top, citing "interest" and "handling fees" and the like.

YEAH yeah in my brain i want levi to be into genshin but i think hes kind of blase about playing it regularly. he plays the occasional event and will hyperfixate on it once every few months and catch up, and also log in to spend all his money on characters he thinks are Neat (or that he's read are going to be the New Amazing Awesome Cool OverPowered Meta Guys) . he seems like an enjoyer of all the most 'typical' genshin characters, like keqing, ganyu, ayaka, raiden shogun and kokomi . like thats the extent for him sjdkhkjsd

i love the imagery of satan initially being Mildly Annoyed and Confused but the moment he's let in on the joke he's fully on board. i feel like he's that way with a lot of things, he just loathes being excluded and doesn't know how to word it so he gets snippy or even just downright mad. i could also see satan assigning haikus to peoples contact descriptions that get increasingly more ridiculous as he comes up with them.

Asmo's are so fun and silly too, i feel like he gets so grumpy if you message him too late or too early so the DNI is totally warranted but hes SUUUCH a bad sport about it . he WILL whine about it to an absurd extent. i can totally see him having hearts in almost everyone's contact name but he has this whole dictionary in his brain of the different heart emojis and their meanings . (i was gonna say something about yours being blue (because of the nickname you chose) but honestly i associate you with more of a minty green ?? not sure why. its a compliment though!) i just love asmo being SUCH a drama queen but like you know that he knows that you dont actually hate him and arent mad at him he just plays it up, its like an intricate game of cat and mouse to him. he plays the damsel in distress and you have to go save him from the evil dragon ( the fake villainous version of you that he basically made up for the funny)

IM REALLY OBSESSED WITH BEEL BEING NOKIA BRICK. THERES SOMETHING SO AMUSING ABOUT THAT TO ME. i read it initially more in the sense that he can take anything that's thrown at him (or that he gets thrown at) without a scratch . man can eat all kinds of weird nasty food without even BLINKING. the idea that he can hardly use technology simply because he doesnt really Care is also very amusing to me. hes the epitome of "damn bitch you live like this?" because he just doesnt care to learn about the things that he doesnt feel are necessary (a complete opposite to belphie, who must have everything Just Right or else he goes bonkers insane. beel will learn to do things for belphies sake i think).

Belphie is so pillow princess coded honestly, youre so right. i do not blame you for being irritated about chapter 16 it is so. its so. it is. yep. like. sorry solmare these characters are mine now ill develop them good and also not flanderise them so its okay.

ok i think macaroons are the chewy ones, and macarons are the meringue ones. i love luke so much i feel like he's a chronic over-explainer like. you ask him where a place is and he's like "oh its in this place thats sort of near this other place, do you remember when we did (xyz)? yeah its kinda adjacent to there but also not really. the building next to it is this colour and sometimes they have a sign outside oh but also sometimes they dont so its like... yeah." and you find out its like the biggest building on the main street and its just like . "dude why didnt you just say that" and he just shrugs because he genuinely didnt think about it in that way . hes a very visual thinker and he has to explain every little detail forever or else he loses his little mind (yes im projecting no i dont take constructive criticism )

calling barbatos barbie and barbie girl genuinely always SLAUGHTERS me its so so funny . come on barbie lets go party <3 . i feel like the best solution to that starting fights is to mention it to diavolo who will then be Ecstatic at the realisation because he loves barbie and suddenly he will ONLY call barbatos 'barbie' and oh boy you have opened pandora's box there barbs would NOT be happy sjkhfks

princiPAL made me giggle a lot its so silly and fun. dewdrop is also an ADORABLE name for him he is soooo dewdrop coded to me . i feel like dia loves the first one especially because he loves goofy puns and also knowing that people think of him in like a friendly light. he aches to be approachable and friendlike as opposed to a Distant Unapproachable Demon King Grr Scary

thank you so much again for sharing all of this with me, it was so so fun to read and respond to i feel like we are So on the same wavelength about a lot of things and its really delighting me :D

People can claim I'm entitled and cuildish but if roles were reversed, they would want an explanation and evidence to. You can't make accusations against a person then proceed to never let that person in on what's going on, it doesn't work like that.

"He said to not blast music and you threw a fit" did he also mention that 1 I started turning my volume down after he mentioned it and 2 it was because he instead of leaving the call isti n silence. I was watching tiktoks even after I turned my volume down he would complain that I'm not paying attention to him.

I'm childish? But the person who accused me brought up stuff from 2 years ago. The sexual abuse claim makes very little sense to me, if he doesn't make it obvious that he is uncomfortable or did not want the interaction how was I suppose to know? He never gave any slightest hint he was uncomfortable,he never stated it either, in fact he consistently gave enthusiastic consent.

"If him crossing your boundaries bothered you why didn't you block him?" Cause he was my fp (favorite person) at the time I would have let him treat me anyway he wanted if that meant I wouldn't be abandoned. Also ask him the same question when it comes to the sexual abuse claim.

"Get therapy" I honestly don't have the money nor does my insurance cover it, also as someone who says they have bpd you would know how utterly difficult it is to find a therapist willing to work with a pwbpd(person with bpd) due to the stigma.

And even without the bpd the fact I told him more then once to please refrain from doing certain things that upset me, he should have stopped, because that's not ok no matter who you are.

And I'm kinda entitled to evidence that deals with claims made against me. And that deal with any screenshots from private dms.

Also I blurred his name his pfp from what I can tell is portal fanart it has no signifying markers to who he is, I even gave him an alias.

On the topic of things I said. I said something that seemed to bring down the mood in the server- 1 time. "TlYou should have gotten a warning then" Yeah I should have. That's kinda proving my point on people not doing their job.

When it comes to the Andy thing that was honestly meant to be a joke,and only a joke, if he had told me he was uncomfortable with it, or with that type of joke I would have stopped.

Based of how you reacted to the incident I stated where we kicked someone for faking osdd (Which was agreed upon by orb) that gives me the feeling that you are the person we kicked. If you aren't my bad that's just the way you came across. But if you are know that even Orb saw through you and said you were faking I still have the screenshots.

I don't block people because I "Know they're right" I block people because simply don't have the energy to deal with their harassment, they made a whole account just to slander me and try to silence me.

I only ever wanted answers and to defend myself. There was no harm in letting me see the evidence,there was no harm in letting me try to prove my innocence, you all could have still chosen to not believe me, chosen to ignore me,chosen to block me. Yet that didn't happen instead of taking the high road and letting me prove my innocence, then move on you all chose to slander,harrass,and attempt to silence me. It shows that somewhere deep down there is insecurity and part of you knows that the mods have some blame in this.

I admit that I don't always handle things the way I should, I'm prone to over explaining,not letting things go,and jumping to extremes when threatened. It's something I have always struggled with, that however doesn't mean that I am malicious,lying,ot manipulating anything. I'm showing my end of the story.

The reason I never came forward sooner is because due to a lot of what I've been through it takes me a while to realize the way someone treated me wasn't ok, and me and him at that point had calm down,started to be friendly,and left each other alone. I didn't see the point in bringing it up especially since I knew with the stigma surrounding bpd, that no one would believe me.

I am prone to anger especially back when "elm" and I met, I had just found out a year prior that I had bpd and had been struggling to work on it since I couldn't and still can't afford therapy. I had told him from the start about it and explained what I knew about the disorder,I even told him about the stigma surrounding it and hour abusers tend to target pwbpd and turn them into the abusers. He used this against me continued to push and push. I was splitting so much that I felt like I couldn't breath. That every move I made had to be dictated by him. This isn't me using it as an excuse this is me showing how it effects me. When I told him that his actions were causing splits, he honestly should have stopped. He would always claim "Oh I'll do better." But never did at some point I gre bitter and thought "Why should I have to change but not him? Why should I work on myself but not him? Why does he pin everything on me? Why?why?why?" Then we mostly cut contact and what do you know I was no longer splitting 2,3,4 times a week. Finally I could breath. Then this happened, I don't know why he would start all this up, I can't pretend to know. It has been 2 years yet in a time of peace and silence he throws a rock into the pond and attempts to ruin what calm I had finally built. He knew I wouldn't go quietly,he knew I would cause a fuss. I played into his hand out of my own instinct to protect myself. I was a idiot, I still am and Idiot.

At this point I want silence and I want peace. Believe me to be the villain,believe that I'm a horrible abuser. Feed into his lies. I don't care anymore, I'm going to continue with my life and work on healing from all the damage he caused. I'm going to enjoy doing stupid shit with my closest friends,friends who don't push,who know I'm not a malicious person. Friend who care for me deeply. I'm going to live and exist in my own space, and you all can continue stabbing and howling in the distance to anyone who will listen, but I won't hear you. Live your lives,enjoy your friends,and be happy.

Hi there!

I recently just discovered your page and omfg I love the writing sm 🫠

AhEm. If I may request a small drabble, I thought of bakugo meeting the reader while he's working with todo and deku, if possible a female reader <3

They're probably out on a patrol for endeavor and he stumbles upon her from another agency and catches himself simping bc 😼 let's be honest I feel like he can be a real simp sometimes if it's the right person. (COUGH COUGH US)

Mwahs <3

a/n i love ur pfp so much :( <3 izuku is just the cutest, wc 1k

in your defense, you genuinely did not know, nor did you consider the possibility of it ever happening—even in another universe, or the alternate timelines in those universes! because if someone told you:

hey, did you know that that ua student bakugou katsuki will ask you out on a date today?

you would laugh and cackle as if that someone just cracked a knee-slapping joke, and you would tell them that they should sleep more or seek a psychiatrist. because that is bullshit and false information and you are not like papa. 

but this universe is bullshit so the last things you expect to happen, all happen on the same day.

a villain attack at your school

you gape at the towering heap of charred rubble—your supposed-to-be school building, which had seven floors, complete with a pretty view from the rooftop—in front of you, like if you stare at it longer it will reveal itself as an illusion and you can go back to school.

your bag slips from your arms as you yell, “are you fucking kidding me?”

today was supposed to be a good day. exams finished and you’re free from schoolwork and activities, now welcome to come back to the slow pace of lazy school days—but you can’t have that in a school building that doesn’t exist.

“wish i fuckin’ was,” a gruff voice replies.

2. for the bakugou katsuki to be one of the heroes who arrived at the scene.

“oh— holy—uh,” you snatch your bag from the ground, staring dumbfoundedly as bakugou appraises you with one eyebrow raised. “i’m sorry, i didn’t see you there.”

but instead of laughing at your fast 180, bakugou grins wolfishly. “you’re not supposed to be here, princess. how did you get here? you feeling risky or just plain stupid?”

you can’t help the sharp glare. “don’t play with me. how was i supposed to know that you heroes were too shitty to prevent mass destruction?”

sirens wail from behind. from the corner of your eyes, you see deku and shouto guiding the civilians affected to emergency vehicles—while, of course, dynamight doesn’t bother because he’d rather not do that when he has two shitty extras to do it.

bakugou snorts. “ha. say that to endeavor’s face, not mine.” he tilts his head back but still meets your stare; you feel a little tingly from the sensation of having all of his attention on you. didn’t they say that he doesn’t bother with people he doesn't know? “why? you think you can do a better job?”

…is this flirting?

is he flirting with you right now or are you just blinded by the extremely attractive smirk on bakugou’s face?

“aren’t you supposed to help them gather civilians?” you murmur, and you hope bakugou doesn’t catch on the way your heart is tumbling around. “you’re just proving me right the longer you talk to me here.”

bakugou’s ruby eyes roam around your face. “shitty heroes don’t check on civilians to see if they’re injured.” piercing doesn’t seem to be enough of an adjective for bakugou’s eyes—it’s more like a rush of air getting snatched from your lungs. “good thing i’m the goddamn best.”

this guy…

“well?” you raise your arms and he very much checks you out without shame. “am i injured?”

obviously, you’re not. but you might as well play along while you’re at it.

“no.” he grins, all sharp teeth and charm. “you’re free to go. too bad your school’s nothing but pointless right now so you have nothing to do today.”

he quirks an expectant eyebrow and you gape at him.

“are you—are you asking me out?”

3. getting asked out by the most handsome ua student that you were smitten with when catching the sports festivals.

katsuki grunts, gauntlets nearly hitting todoroki’s face as he rages. “so you’re telling me that we weren’t even fucking needed to beat the criminal? why am i here then? to play patty cake?”

“it’s not just about beating the villain, bakugou,” icyhot says, melting the frost that began to cover his hand. so annoying.

stupid deku splutters, hands flailing, “kacchan i’m so sorry!”

“yeah, you better be!” he snarls at him, hands itching and restless as tiny sparks start to come off. and he can’t even relieve it because shitty deku already caught the fucker before the rest arrived at the scene.

icyhot shakes his head. “don’t apologize, midoriya. it’s not your fault that you ran into the villain. i’m glad you’re safe.”

katsuki rolls his eyes while deku wails a garbled, “todoroki-kun!”

a medic waves at them. “hey, you three! you’re heroes, right? help us round up everyone!”

deku straights, “coming!”

todoroki nods, “yes.”

katsuki scoffs, spinning around halfway to leave the area. “i’m gonna check something.”

from what he could see, the damage is more on the building than the civilians. the quirk, although weaker, was similar to shigaraki’s. but deku and icyhot (while endeavor beat the shit out of the person who attempted to sneak an explosive into a high school) evacuated everyone inside.

he sees someone standing across the mess.

“are you fucking kidding me?”

katsuki finds himself relating to that.

and as he studies your flustered face at his unexpected arrival, he finds himself thinking… well… you aren’t too bad.

you have a mouth on you, too. playing fire with fire.

he’s never seen you around before, and he’d be damned if he doesn’t see you again because things will get boring again.

unfortunately, katsuki couldn’t hear your answer, because endeavor is roaring, and deku and todoroki are frantically looking for him (more on deku with the frantic part).

“oi,” he yells at you while he’s being dragged away, and you’re still staring at him with pretty cute wide eyes, “that cafe over there. you better be there in an hour, got it!?”

you’re out of earshot by now, but katsuki can see the way you nod dazedly; he smiles to himself, like a pleased cat.

“kacchan, why is your face red? are you okay? are you sick? a quirk? did that girl do something to you?”

“shut the fuck up, i have a date later.”

a/n UMMMM tbh i feel like this isnt exactly what u requested but i got really inspired by the 'out on a patrol' scene and bakugou immediately taking an interest -- hopefully without it being too ooc

but thank u for reading (´ ε ` )♡

[adrikazu]

I noticed you had a danganronpa pfp soo I was wondering, could I possibly request some headcanons for Venti, Albdeo and Xiao with a s/o who's extremely similar to Chiaki Nanami? Has a gaming addiction, constantly sleepy, an optimist ya know, all that jazz✨

READER WHOS LIKE CHIAKI NANAMI

FEATURING— venti, albedo, xiao

GENRE— fluff!

NOTES— chiaki nanami is a character from danganronpa two, whos always sleepy and has a gaming addiction. also i love chiaki so much, thank you :)) also MODERN AU because i don’t think there’s video games in tevyat D:

WARNINGS— nothing! fluff

VENTI

lowkey very lowkey jealous of your gaming console

he wants attention !!! and ur giving all of your attention to those annoying square with a screen and buttons !!!!

but he thinks your sleepiness is very cute and sometimes wonders if you ever sleep.

it’s either video games, or he keeps you awake to do something dumb

he admires your optimism, ande he totally agrees with you

sometimes he gets really tired from running around everywhere and he lays down next to you, and both of you pass out together

anyone who walks in, sees two idiots on the floor, one clinging onto the other, passed out

its very cute

if you ever get involved in something and have to try and argue, venti is literally your hypeman

HES CHEERING YOU ONNN

overall he finds your energy and personality cute and attractive

it doesnt always have to match his, but hes okay with it

but he PREPAREDDD

He’s going to bother you 24/7 no matter what you’re doing

so if you’re playing a game he’s gonna cling into you

and yell at you for attention

a little menace i know

ALBEDO

I have a gut feeling he had a game boy or a 3DS when he was younger

so he kind of gets your addiction

he’ll definitely ask if he can play with you too

it’s DEFINITELY WORTH IT

bc he’s so good at it

albedo for the most part will hang out with you quietly while you play

sometimes he’ll watch

he won’t bother you for attention but if it comes down to it, he’ll nudge for it if anything

i’ll bet anything that albedo doesn’t sleep much or at all

this man survives on caffeine

while you sleep next to him he’s probably gonna do focusing on work or experiments

but he’ll definitely admire your features while you sleep

he would never admit it tho

if you feel like someone’s watching you in your sleep, just tell him and he’ll immediately stop

there’ll be days he’s so exhausted from not sleeping that he’ll just pass out next to you

that’ll be a normal sleeping night that happens once a while ehe

it’s nice but it’s also kind of concerning

albedo is more of a realist, and he’s not a very critical so he’s happy to learn more about your point of view of seeing things

he admires it knowing he couldn’t change his way of seeing, and he doesn’t have a problem with the contrast so it’s nice

when a problem comes up both of you can try different solutions and whichever works first wins

like escape rooms, puzzles, etc

he loves that type of thing

XIAO

oh my lord

he’s so so so jealous

insert frowning xiao

but i have a feeling he would try to ask you to play with him

he’s good at gaming, i swear

to be honest he doesn’t have a time to stop so you guys could go on and on in games for a WHILEEE

very competitive and will probably keep asking you to challenge him again if he loses

if he wins, his pride 📈📈📈

he will probably raise his voice while playing, and get angry

xiao doesn’t sleep either, probably less than albedo

so if you sleep beside him he’ll look at you confused and then forget about it

he .. doesn’t really care 🗿

but if you want, he’ll keep you company and try to fall asleep if he can

please convince him to try to sleep more often

he barely does

xiao gets irritated by your optimistic atmosphere

he’s like “that’s not how it works”

or “give up”

angry boy

trust me he’ll accept your point of view later on, hopefully

it might rub off on him to be honest, he kind of needs that optimistic type of view in his life

secretly very thankful when he realizes it but he won’t say anything

put both of you in an arguement teamed up and no one can contradict you or him

both of you are unstoppable

New year, new pfp! As though I weren’t struggling to make myself do this since October for self-help reasons

Trying as hard as I can to suppress the world’s most severe case of resting bitch face (complete with sinister eyebrows, it ain’t fair lol!) And of course a Carbuncle, since my old icons usually include it and IT NEEDS SQUEEZING ♥

It’s also kind of celebratory, because 2021 has been a really important year of my life. I open up quite a bit below the break, fair warning.

I’ve been depressed ever since I was ten. Over the years, it gradually got worse and worse and worse, until suicidal ideation and self-hatred became the background noise of every moment. Everything felt wrong, like I shouldn’t be here. Therapy and medications did little to help. I had cut off ties with my friends, not because I didn't enjoy company, but because why would they possibly want to be around me? By the time I started my little comic, I threw myself into it because it was the one and only thing distracting me from how endlessly miserable I felt.

(Thanks for the bummer Iffy OKAY SO ANYWAY 💦)

So I’ll skip the long version of this, but in May of this year, I found out that I’m transgender and buried in gender dysphoria. In fact, the symptoms were stacked so high that it reaaaaally shouldn’t have taken me so long to figure out.

It was extremely upsetting and confusing for a hot minute there, because I just didn’t know what to do about it. But, after support from my wonderful spectacular sister and some professional chats, I started transitioning in Summer.

(Coming out to my parents was wild. I came out to my mom first, who was very confused and had a million questions, but ultimately was fully supportive! Then I told my dad. No joke, he just gave a kind smirk and said, “I had a feeling.” My mom and I both dropped our jaws. XD)

Now I’m half a year into HRT, and making small changes, one at a time. But here’s the wild thing, and kind of the point of all this:

I’m not depressed anymore.

I thought that transitioning could be a huge relief, yes, but... that was actually... it. The crushing sadness and relentless self-hatred just... left me. And they never came back.

Maybe it’s that life-long dissociation with the person in the mirror. Slowly but surely, I’m starting to recognize the face looking back, for the first time since I was a kid, and... I don’t even know how to describe what that feels like.

This is going to be the silliest, cheesiest, sappiest, thing you’ll ever see me write, but I’m not kidding: I legitimately forgot what joy and hope felt like until these past months.

Friends who aren’t even aware of my changes have been positively remarking about how I seem like a completely different person. Even laughter comes so much more easily to me now?? Hell, one video made me double over laughing, and I was in sheer awe of how unbelievably good it felt. The simplest freaking thing. But I didn’t have it before.

I’d become fully socially phobic over the past decade, especially online. Even with mutuals, I’d respond little more than necessary because who would actually want to talk to me? But that’s starting to flip over, too. (It’s kind of morphing into fomo because of course it is. :P)

I’ve been hanging out and making more friends in town because I’m starting to look forward to being around people, which if you’d known me from even a year ago would sound like I’ve gone batshit insane.

Online, it isn’t as simple, since I have no idea what I’m doing hjsdfhjlgsdf. But yeah if I’ve seemed more chatty these past few months, that’s why. I’m reaching out in all directions and trying to make friends! :)

People look so different when “who’d ever want to talk to me” doesn’t constantly bounce around in your head anymore.

I still have problems, sure. But now I’m strong enough to confidently work on them. And I’m sure new problems will come up, considering everything. But that doesn’t bother me either because I’m facing them as myself, which I suppose I took for granted before.

Being depressed for most of your life, and then not being depressed, is unreal. Seriously it feels so different that it does not feel real.

Okay okay I’m done blathering. I’m just... beside myself about being able to feel happy again. I’m so grateful that my family believed what I was going through and have been nothing but supportive—seriously, just saying I believe you and I see you in there was everything for me—and it helped me break out from a state of mind that I just assumed was how my life would be forever. (had to stop typing just now to have a happy-sob hjklHfjkasdlhjfk) And the rest of my one short little life will be a lot brighter for it.

2022 is the first year that I’ve ever looked forward to.

I hope you’re looking forward to yours, too. ♥

Does the fact that CCs can now get away with a lot by pointing fingers at mcyttwt concern you as well? I keep thinking about that part specifically regarding the party thing. I don't think these responses would be tolerated if they came from other content creators. This is one side effect of the toxic behavior on twitter I feared.

Ohhh boy. Yeah, it does.

(Sorry, I don't think you wanted an essay, but it happened.)

I am very happy that the problems with mcyttwt and the culture it has cultivated over the past few months (give or take) is being brought to light and directly addressed. It's some bullshit cliché rhetoric, but the first step really is recognizing that you have a problem and at first glance this speaks to good things.

We've seen it happening more often in a variety of cases. Remember that thing I always bring up about the twibbons? And how it's completely ridiculous to demand a mass-change of profile pictures on a public platform for the sake of your personal well-being? Well, a similar problem arose yesterday, and the responses were... really good. Some of them were rude - people always take stuff too far - but the top replies were a polite, but firm, "if the pfps are bothering you, maybe you should get off of Twitter." That's progress ! Very good progress as these people recognize and encourage the curation of ones' own environment and mental health. And that's just one example - I've seen plenty of others where I was pleasantly surprised by the way Twitter users pointed out the bad behavior in their midst.

The new problem (or one of them) is that people tend to think in a very black-and-white mentality. I'm not saying I don't - we're all in this together - but it first felt worrying to me in response to Jawsh's repost of his tweets. The ones that fiercely condemn what he refers to as "stan culture," seemingly generalized to twt communities.

People were agreeing with him. Not like a "he makes some good points" type of agreement; a wholehearted, all-in, fuck these people and this platform and everything that mcyttwt is attitude from the stans' own mouths (or, uh, keyboards). The discussion was no longer "here is what our community is now, here are the problems, here's how we fix them," it was about pointedly distancing themselves from that toxic - and frankly embarrassing - group they were just in.

And that's where we get to the content creators themselves.

The timing lines up nicely with that burner thread - the one showcasing mcyttwt in all of its horror and glory - but I'm more inclined to call that a coincidence than a catalyst. Regardless, the creators - after months of cc neg and twitlongers and DNI lists only growing - think that they're fully aware of the state of the "mc twitter" fandom. That it really is this hivemind of crazies who rag on everyone for every little thing. Jawsh was right, Schlatt was right, stans fucking suck and are idiotic little fatherless mentally ill children-

Do you get where I'm going with this?

I'm trying not to sound too slippery slope fallacy-y because I know that poking fun at the flaws of your fanbase (or ones adjacent to you, depending on who you are) doesn't mean you're about to go full Noah Hugbox on their asses. And, at the end of the day, this specific instance was just a legal party with some surrounding debate. A debate that they... didn't even stop to consider. Which is fair, I suppose, they don't owe us anything, but like I said that makes me worried about the precedent that's unwillingly being set.

The fact of the matter is that it's very, very easy to slip into one of two parties: for, or against. When it comes to content creators, this is usually the blind rage they go into when they see criticism and the automatic way their brain files it into the tidy folder up there labelled "hate mail." I feel like we've already seen Dream get close to becoming that kind of person (understandably, he gets a lot of shit) -but he managed to catch himself around his first contact with Hasan and things (I think ?) have been pretty decent since then. Great.

There's no telling how other creators will react to that kind of shift though. And I know it doesn't sound like a big deal because "we don't control their lives," but I'm thinking big-picture here. I'm not pulling arguments out of my ass when I say that seeing "mcyttwt" as a bullshit community full of keyboard warrior sjws who need to go out and touch some grass is a full 180 from the current state of the fandom and that's not inherently good. Mcyttwt is extremely hyper-critical, but their concern often stems from genuine fears as minorities and wants to do better and make sure that other people do the same. I don't think that people outside of the community see that and a lot of the people who criticize it don't want to because they're not actually invested in the community's well-being, they're just mad they can't be racist without getting ratioed anymore. Yes, it's just the internet and some things are pointless to get mad at, but the online space is still the real world and people's shitty-ness is still... shitty.

Do I think they can get away with anything? Not really, no, but I'm curious to see what the future holds. It's easy to be apathetic and say "I don't give a shit what creators do" - have a sort of relationship where criticisms are dismissed because their attitude in turn is "fuck those people" - but in my opinion that's not a healthy way to consume content. That's how all those awful fucking people slid on by for years and the community was dominated by "edgy" folk who'd sooner mock you for your pronouns than give a performative "trans rights." I hope for progress, but this feels a bit like regression.

Blog 1: How to Recover from Procrastination & Start a Blog on a Small Business Venture

Well, the title pretty much says it all, but allow me to elaborate. As far as projects go, this is one I honestly didn’t expect to do. However, the stars aligned and here we are. Dryad Designs is the name of my small business, and it’s basically a creative outlet for me to explore the world of macrame (and hopefully make a little money while I’m at it!). 

This is a relatively new venture for me. I have spent the last 29 years of my life trying to figure out what I’m good at creatively (outside of writing) and I stumbled on this one purely by accident. It began one fated night while I was skimming (i.e. mindlessly watching) TikTok videos. You know how it is. You just keep watching the suggested videos and fall into this brain-numbing black hole until the outside world intrudes, or you low battery warning flashes.

Well, it was one such occasion that I happened across a quick little video on making a macrame plant hanger. Watching the process I realized it was essentially just taking rope and creating a work of art out of memorized patterns and knots. As a crazy plant lady (see PFP for proof) I thought this would be an excellent use of my time and gave it a go. And fell madly in love with the process.

There is something unbelievably soothing for me when it comes to taking a few cuts of rope and turning it into a useful and beautiful work of art. It’s the act of bringing something to life from ordinary objects and watching as it takes shape. As I type this out I worry that perhaps I have a god complex, but I cannot deny that the control (POWER) I have over this space in time is extremely satisfying. And in a time where a lot of us are feeling powerless/helpless over the turn our lives have taken, this was a big deal for me.

Covid has really shaken up our realities in a huge way. When it first hit and those lockdowns were being issued I was working at a job that was wearing me down and sucking all of the joy out of my life. While this Coronavirus has been an absolute travesty on many levels I cannot deny that it was the starting point for me in changing my life for the better.  I was let go from that soul sucking job and my fiancé and I packed up and moved to the wonderfully rural Northwest Georgia, where we’re surrounded by fields and mountains and his family.

It took me awhile to adjust to this new lifestyle, and to not feel like an absolute failure on the highest level for losing my job. Before entering into our relationship I had always taken care of myself financially. I had watched my mom and stepdad work themselves to the bone and still remain in poverty, and I fought so hard to better myself. Going from working hard to doing nothing put me in an emotional tailspin. Yes, I was still working towards my degree, but what was I contributing financially to our relationship? And why did it bother me so much that my amazing husband was completely unfazed and urging me to explore creative outlets rather than immediately finding another job?

Eventually, I did manage to get another job. It paid well and, best of all, was a completely remote position. The company sent me all the equipment I would need and after 7 weeks of training we were set loose. On the one hand it was great getting back into the swing of things and showing what an intelligent and hard-working individual I was to my supervisors and peers, but after a couple of months of being yelled at by customers and inefficient processes I realized I was right back where I started before the pandemic. 

My husband hated seeing me revert back to the “stressy messy” I was pre-pandemic and was a huge advocate for me leaving this admittedly amazing job to focus on myself and my mental health. Me being me, however, I couldn’t just quit a job without some other goal to focus on (outside of obtaining my Bachelor’s degree) and thus Dryad Designs was born! I animatedly discussed all of my business ideas with him and my enthusiasm helped me shed the shell of depression that had slowly begun encasing me again. 

I hope you all enjoy the journey this blog takes us all on, as I discover and revel in the highs and lows of this new and exciting adventure!

tumblr tag game

thank you so much for tagging me @fredy-carter ❤️

1. Why did you choose your url?

after reading six of crows last year i absolutely fell in love with miss Nina Zenik so I had to have her as my url and we haven’t parted ways since <3 (and this spelling was the closest canon i could get, whoever has nina-zenik saved i would love you forever if you’d grace me with it) 

2. Any side blogs?

i’m a member at @dailybridgerton and besides that I have another main blog that i haven’t updated in forever but it’s always funny to go back and see what i reblogged and posted as an edgy teen haha

3. How long have you been on tumblr?

i think i made my personal blog in 2011 and i created this one in 2013 but i wasn’t always active on it

4. Do you have a queue tag?

only a ‘q’ because i can’t be bothered typing out anything longer 

5. Why did you start your blog in the first place?

i dont even remember exactly to be honest but i think i just wanted to keep up with the fandoms i was in at the time and participate 

6. Why did you choose your icon/pfp?

sour has been playing 24/7 since it came out so it only made sense to have miss Olivia as my icon

7. Why did you choose your header?

i wanted something very simple with a quote that i love and this one resonated with me so much when i read crescent city

8. What’s your post with the most notes?

this text post which somehow reached 200k people despite only having bellarke as a hashtag lmao 

9. How many mutuals do you have?

i have no idea to be honest since i’ve been here so long, there are a lot of people that we don’t even share fandoms with anymore but we still follow each other <3 

10. How many followers do you have?

i’m almost at 2,9k which i’m incredibly grateful for <3 

11. How many people do you follow?

372

12. Have you ever made a shit post?

i think half of my original posts here are shit posts lmao

13. How often do you use tumblr a day?

i basically open it anytime im bored and browse it like its the morning newspaper

14. Did you ever have a fight/argument with another blog?

yes lmao. but lately i’ve been just blocking people instead of trying to argue, they aren’t worth the energy

15. How do you feel about the ‘you need to reblog’ posts?

as a gifmaker i completely agree that if you like something you should reblog it. none of us get paid to be here and create content, spend hours from our free time creating things, be it gifs, fanfics, fanart, playlists, icons, headers or anything else. and seeing 80%-20% like/reblog ratio can be really disheartening, so i understand why so many creators just gave up on it or lost motivation. for me the biggest motivator is seeing people reblog my creations because that means they liked it and while i dont make then for validation it still feels great to know that someone likes what you do so much that they want to show it to others as well. but of course no one has to reblog anything, and i’ll never block anyone just for only liking something (which i’ve seen some people do but i think its rather extreme)  also if you really want to make someone’s day just leave any personal message in the tags, i know i always check them and its an instant serotonin boost when someone say they really love a set

16. Do you like tag games?

yes, even if i forget to do them sometimes, but just know that if you tagged me at anything i’ll love you forever

17. Do you like ask games?

i love them, it’s always great to talk to all of you who follow me <3

18. Which of your mutuals do you think is tumblr famous?

crush? im in love with all of you jk

9. How many followers do you have?

Probably less than 20 active ones, a great majority of them are deactivated or otherwise abandoned or followed me for something I don’t post about anymore and I’m sure they don’t actually use this website now. I love being unpopular tho bc I can just say whatever’s on my mind and nobody reacts, it’s like I’m shouting into a void and I love that for me

Kinda wanna tag her just to cause chaos and see what happens but I will remain true to my true neutral self 😌😌

vent

just me complaining lolol

personally? i feel really bothered by people that, when upset, will make it clear to everyone that they're feeling upset and not good

yes i know i do this, you do not need to tell me. i am just ranting about it bc it bothers me, as well. this post is not targeted at anyone in particular, either.

i just. i didn't really consent to see that? i suffer from emotional contagion and i get affected by that stuff pretty easily, when i'm not feeling good

when i'm not feeling good, i'm not really wanting to feel worse without consent, if that makes sense?

i understand that people have problems, and that they deserve the right to have a space to vent. but it upsets me when they go as far as venting about sensitive topics in general/public spaces, as well as changing everything (ex. pfp, bio, nickname, etc.). i do not need to know that you feel like un-aliving yourself out of nowhere, when people are talking about a light-hearted topic. more than me, other people may get triggered by that as well (even if they don't voice it).

on some days, it's more irritating than others.

lately, i've been learning how to deal with it, and put measures in place so that i don't have to see it when i don't want to. but it's still hard!! i've muted vent channels and filtered vent tags, which i'm proud of myself for. i used to go in those channels freely when i was upset, and would just make my mood worse thinking about how i'm not doing anything for them and am being selfish.

however, it's pretty difficult to control what i see when people don't put those topics in the proper channels. i will never ever voice my complaints, though. that would be rude of me.

also, re: making it clear to people that you're upset. it irks me when i see people using speech habits i associate with anger/sadness. that, also, makes it clear to everyone that you're upset. it's easier to pick up when you're around someone a lot. but like, i don't know. a few ones are ";;;;;" and "hhhh", which i've picked up over the years. once again, i'm sensitive to others' moods

and it doesn't even have to be sadness!! more than sadness, i get really fucking anxious when someone is outwardly being angry and pissed off!! i get extremely scared and immediately assume that they'll lash out at me. context is important, too. for example, i can tell the difference between swear words being used in a joking context vs a serious context.

i have trauma and complain a lot :'D

i don't know. maybe it's a bit self-centered of me to expect people to just step back so they can properly cope with their emotions. whether that be going to a different channel, or completely logging off.

people have the right to be selfish, but it wouldn't hurt to be considerate of others a tiny bit of the time

i do understand that it's on me to do what i can to control my reactions and how i cope, though. i do. i'm still learning how to step back when i can, and immediately scroll/click off when i see something i don't like. i've gotten to the point where i can sometimes just take a deep breath when i see something that makes me upset, and move on (which is a big step!! for me personally). but if i'm the only one making these efforts, it's a bit hard, you know? i can only do so much to control my reactions.

but i'm extremely non-confrontational and am bad at communicating my concerns or what makes me upset. i don't mean to upset others, truly. the last thing i want to do is point this behavior out and make them upset and leave, which would make others upset as well

You curate your own online experience.

(Discussion of derealization - feel free to argue with me lol these are just my feelings !)

On Twitter there's this thing called "Twibbon." I don't really know how it works, but it seems to add stuff to your profile picture. A bunch of people used it in honor of MCC's return, which gave them these cute little rainbow outlines with small icons of the animals that each team is associated with on their pfps.

Basically, after a while, some tweets started popping up. They said that the Twibbons were bad for ND people/people with anxiety/etc and that it was causing dissociative episodes/making them feel physically ill/giving people anxiety attacks. They asked people to remove them because they were triggering. The community proceeded to do so.

I get it. I really do. I suffer from extreme bouts of derealization and depersonalization, I have very very bad anxiety, and I have a slew of other problems. Weird, seemingly harmless stuff freaks me out pretty often.

But that's my issue. That's my burden to deal with.

It is not your place to tell anyone (or in turn, no one's place to tell you) what they can or can't do on their personal profile. There's no harm in asking - if something bothers you - but Twitter has a sort of hivemind toward this kind of stuff. "We the people have decided this is wrong."

I appreciate the compassion. The people who brought this up were suffering and everyone apologized and did as was asked of them. But they didn't do anything wrong. And they wouldn't actually be doing anything wrong if they kept the profile picture. It's their account.

If your timeline (dash, feed, etc) is causing you derealization/anxiety attacks, or even just making you uncomfortable in some way, you should step back. You should leave the platform for a while, breathe some fresh air, block the people who are making your experience poor (or just unfollow, whatever you feel like). Fandom is meant to be fun and self-expressive. For them and for you. If looking at social media makes you physically sick, don't look at it.

Idk. I just don't like seeing the community come together for something fun only to be put into a weird "taking accountability for my mistake" type of situation when it bothers some people. I know what it's like to be that person who is made uncomfortable, but they're absolutely not going about their issues the right way. They have no actual authority and yet they go forward and tell people what they can or can't do, what is or isn't okay. It bothers me.

[formula-done]

tumblr tag game tagged by the infinitely lovely @p1tstop <3 1. why did you choose your url? because there is always f1 drama and it's my attempt at a play on words (formula 1 // formula done) 2. any side blogs? yes but it's mostly inactive/I log on to it just when I want to look at nice pictures of nature etc.

3. how long have you been on tumblr? a VERY long time - probably since 2010 ish. I used to be very bad at controlling my impulses and have deleted like 3 of my past blogs which I'm sad about as I wish I had hung onto them.

4. do you have a queue tag? no. sometimes I like posts if I feel like I'm spamming and then and go back to re-blog them but having a functioning queue system is not something I think I will ever achieve.

5. why did you start your blog in the first place? I had been following a few different f1 blogs on my last blog and then decided to make my own!

6. why did you choose your icon/pfp? because I'm in love with Susie Wolff. that's it, that's the tweet.

7. why did you choose your header? it was a picture I took on a night out and I really liked the lighting and colours so just put it as my header when I first made this blog and couldn't be bothered to change it

8. what’s your post with the most notes? a post criticising lando, funnily enough, but I am not going to add a link to it because I don't want to re-start that drama

9. how many mutuals do you have? ummm I'm not sure. I think around 20? and they are all super lovely and I am actually shocked at the number of extremely creative, talented and nice people I am mutuals with because I bring nothing to the table i s2g all I do is shitpost

10. how many followers do you have? 61! I am surprised I have any at all

11. how many people do you follow? 65

12. have you ever made a shit post? every day

13. how often do you use tumblr a day? the limit does not exist

14. did you ever have a fight/argument with another blog? no but I have been lucky that people just unfollow me and don't send me hate if I post stuff they disagree on (apart from that one time I posted some lando criticism)

15. how do you feel about the ‘you need to reblog’ posts? i think it is important to reblog vs simply liking content because i don't want creative and talented people to feel unappreciated, but i really don't like posts that will say something like "you have to reblog this" because my blog is a safe space that I like to come onto sometimes to just get some breathing space from real life

16. do you like tag games? yes because I find it crazy that people would even remember me & then think to tag me in a game like this, so it's SUPER sweet and nice and helps pull me out of my constant existential crises

17. do you like ask games? yes & i always try to send asks to those who came up with the ask games because they take a lot of time and creativity

18. which of your mutuals do you think is tumblr famous? i think there are a few of them which is why i am so surprised some of them follow me (see q9!!)

19. do you have a crush on a mutual? i think all my mutuals are lovely & thank you to all my mutuals that have ever dropped by to interact and say hello :)

20. tags! @renerosin; @happyspringsunflower3; @totowoof; @race-week; @formulamick (don't feel obliged & sorry if you have already done this one!)
