Got a shot of motivation at the ungodly hour of 3:30 am so have this!

It is a monster :D that's supposed to appear in a future chapter of OAFB but I have no idea how to design him and that's one way I thought he'll end up looking. Haha, Hehe, Smile and Happy you did it and die is written all over the body. Red area is its manic state and grey area is normal state, friendly fella in the grey area! :D maybe...

but there are lots of fish left in the sea, there are lots of fish in business suits that talk and walk on human feet & visit doctors & have weak knees ...Oh Please Let Me Join Your Cult..!!! Ill Paint My Face In Yr Colours!!!!!!! (u had a real nice face, i had an early death.)

If you make it to be one generation each week, maybe you could stagger the polls and do a new poll(s) each day (or every other day or whatever works) so it’s not a full week in between each new poll drop. Keep the momentum going yknow

Not to worry, regardless of the format, you would get new polls every day, except for the 7th day breaks each week to give me time to make sure everything is in order for the next set! The only time i could see a potential longer break is for week-long poll round 5 voting while we wait for those results to come in for the final set!

For week-long round two, I'm planning 8 polls for each Generation, so that's 4 polls per day, so we get through 3 Generations a week, and that's why it takes 3 weeks!

For round three, it would be 4 polls per Gen, which doesn't do perfect math with week numbers, but I'd figure out ways to make it work!

I'm currently considering top-two round 1 rematches for the week-long schedule as well to help fill up space and to give people that came in later a chance to vote!

I think what fucks me up most about me having to drop out of high school is that when I was 16 I got the rest of my courses completely done, with only A's and b's, and was on course to graduate once the semester was over. but I "missed too many days" (not even by choice) so none of that work fucking counted. I could probably get my GED but that event fucking crushed me so i just gave up.

the texas (and other u.s states) school system hates the ill and disabled and dooms us to fail.

Readmores And You - A Really Great Tumblr Feature!

(this is technically directed at stuff I've seen in a specific tag because of the content of said tag makes it more likely to spoiler things, but it applies to anyone likely learning the ins and outs of a new site. speaking of which, hello! welcome to tumblr!) (this got. longer than anticipated. apologies, I get bogged down in trying to make things as clear as possible. ^^")

I've seen this a lot recently in the VC tags especially, where the post goes something to the effect of "tw bloody animal!" then like six periods and the images of whatever dead thing the post is about.

I recognize this is probably being carried over from some other website (...reddit probably? maybe insta?) but please. I appreciate y'all so much for trying to do what you're doing. but this method of hiding pictures isn't effective on tumblr, but there is an infinitely better option!

"but why? it works fine on other sites?" firstly, a few extra lines typically don't even take up enough space on mobile (let alone desktop) to hide your pics, so even at a glance anyone is likely still seeing at least the top half of whichever picture you posted before even noticing the trigger warning on top. second, because you have to scroll all the way past the images at the bottom of your post anyway to get to the next one on your dash/in the tag/etc. so if someone comes across your post and the trigger warning is applicable as something they want to avoid, unless they have access to a keyboard to use a keybind shortcut that ive been here 12 years and still cant remember, they can't see any other posts after it without either having to scroll through the pics or outright block you. which is... not the most ideal of options I would say.

"but what else am I supposed to do then!?" I hear you ask.

READMORES!

tumblr has a wonderful feature known as a "readmore" that's built into the site! it creates a break in your post, which hides any content - be it words, images, whatever - that you place underneath it, not showing it unless the person viewing it clicks on the words "keep reading" (formerly "read more" - hence the name :D).

Cool, how do I do that?

on mobile you can place one by tapping an empty line and clicking the grey squiggle icon from the selection that allow you to insert an image/vid/link

which will place a squiggly line into the post you're making:

(desktop uses the same icon, it's just in a more compact row of icons.)

you can drag it around after placing it too, just like photos. (note: mobile can get finicky with this and it's usually just easier to remove it -click the big red X- and add it in the new place you want it.)

EDIT: some of the versions of mobile editor are broken and don't show the icons. to add it in manually type ":readmore:" (with the colons, but not the quotation marks) on its own line. Thank you for the reminder, LovingTogetic!

this is also a nice way to keep your blog tidy and not swamped in long and/or spoilery posts (say if you're posting 5k word fics, or extensive meta, or gushing over the ending of the latest game or TV show most people probably haven't seen yet)! it's not required, obviously, but it's generally considered a common courtesy for others that will be seeing your post cross their dashboard.

finally, an example of the readmore in action:

(ta-da!)

have fun out there y'all, I hope this is helpful ^^

as an aside (I wasn't sure where to put this but under the break seemed appropriate), you may also see a lot of personal/vent posts be fully under readmores as well, even if the post is only a sentence or two long. this is mostly so followers don't necessarily see it unless they specifically click, but there's a more frustrating history to it becoming a thing: when a post is reblogged, any content above the break is permanently frozen as it existed at the time, but anything under it will reflect edits made to the post. while not common, a certain type of user sometimes browse the various "do not rb" tags and will purposefully reblog personal posts in order to upset and distress the users. putting those things under a readmore make it so even if that happens, the text can be deleted from all iterations of the post. recently the site rolled out an option to lock a post to reblogs, but you gotta mess with the settings and it's mostly a habit after a decade here dealing with the nonsense.

I know your pinned said requests are closed and idk if this counts as one

But sometime ago i found a picture on your blog that I can't find anymore? Its a pale yellow stamp of a silk flower with a circle around it and inside that circle reads "teyvat silk flower"

Im like 95% sure i found it here but even after looking through all the tags i thought it could possibly be in i still cant find it.

Also some of ur google drive links aren't working for me (on mobile) so you might wanna check that out when you have the time

Theres no rush and im sorry if this counts as a request, but thank you in advance if you can help!

Hey there, I can still reply to questions and feedbacks related to already posted contents so no worries. The picture you're looking for is a "postmark" (I hope I didn't name it wrong) from the "Wishes from Teyvat" web event and you can find that post here. I apologize for the inconvenient tagging 'cuz I didn't include web event names in post tags back then, but since there were a lot of those, I can only edit the tags if anyone asks about specific events that haven't been tagged properly haha...

Edit: Please also lemme know which Google Drive folders are broken and I'll try to fix them when I have the time to.

[trickstarbrave]

heyyyy im making a pinned post as that is a feature and seems good to keep info all in one place esp for ppl on mobile

❤️im brave!! or rua works if u want to but brave is by far the most popular name i go by. he/him pronouns

❤️art commissions/art trades are NOT on the table rn sadly. i used to offer commissions and did art trades with friends but for the most part im really busy with work/health conditions. if i have a bit of free time i may change this or make a few exceptions on a case by case basis depending on my schedule. for the most part tho i just want my art to be a stress relief activity

❤️art requests i do take from time to time now, but there is no guaranty i will take it. please do not spam requests hoping i’ll do it and please do not get mad if i don’t do it. they’re requests for a reason. if i am particularly inspired i’ll be happy to get around to it if life lets me

❤️technically multifandom blog i would say, mostly i have been focused on the elder scrolls series lately. you will probably see me rb stuff from like, a bunch of series. if this changes i’ll prob edit this post LMAO (i do not control the special interest)

❤️not just an art blog but also personal. my art can be found in my #my art tag. wips can sometimes be found scattered on my twitter if they arent on here. and writing that i publish can be found on my ao3 (though i have like a million wips that dont get published and be warned much of my ao3 is rated E and not for everyone)

❤️ been doing a lot of oc posting so i can do a run down of them currently for anyone that wants to follow along/know the lore:

/// OCS ///

(under cut)

🌟 Eyja: skyrim oc, nord dragonborn, she/her. past life incarnation was konahrik, alduin’s head priest, murdered by miraak. uses a bow and magic primarily. story can be found here

🌟 Senna: skyrim oc, nord dragonborn, she/her. proud two handed weapon user and leader of the companions. fought and lost to the world eater who took her back to his den and make her his partner. proof prophecy can be a complicated thing. story can be found here.

🌟 Baldur: skyrim oc, nord dragonborn, he/him. grew up on the streets stealing to survive, and certified trans of gender. fought and lost to the world eater who decided to force baldur to be his champion. helps him take over skyrim. story not yet published but will prob contain a lot of mentions of transphobia as a cw :(

🌟 Ansa: skyrim oc, nord dragonborn, she/her. orphaned at a young age, and just a weird, feral child. learned to steal, and ended up joining the thieves guild. killed mercer and turned the guild over to karliah and is helping rebuild it when she finds a weird rock that turns out to be a dragon egg. story not yet published

🌟 Ahkrinaak: general elder scrolls oc, he/him/any pronouns. he is based off me as a sort of self insert/persona character purely for comedy, not a serious au. dragon/god who was corrupted in the war with lorkhan/shor and became more so an agent of lorkhan. he spends most of his time pretending to be a mortal and causing problems. he’s just sillay. looks like a falmer/snow elf and nord hybrid making pretty much everyone just in general uncomfortable. dragons dont have gender he just likes tits. divorced with alduin

🌟 Lyre: not a skyrim oc (yet) but my beloved dnd character i have made a million aus for, including one that has turned into a full on novel lmao. will update everyone when i start uploading the novel (its not gonna be too serious just a fun lil webnovel that is pg rate) and you can see me post illustrations for. depending on the AU uses either he/him or she/her. i just think theyre neat

🌟 Anthial: nerevarine bosmer, tired, angry, nb spellsword. he/them pronouns. just wants to cover their entire body until you cant tell what gender they are. vivec never got them the drink he owed them. was convinced as nerevar that voryn never liked them back all that much. had an open marriage with almalexia. this incarnation was emotionless and lacked a moral compass due to the betrayal in their past life.

🌟 Steren: nerevarine, technically. not actually the reincarnation of nerevar, but the reincarnation of nerevar’s son. nerevar never reincarnated bc he was too busy haunting his descendants, too upset to move on. steren has a couple of aus but mostly its him with vivienne the dragonborn who belongs to @mulberrycafe. calls voryn “ata” and nerevar “dad” because he technically grew up in cyrodiil but remembers his first lifetime in bits and pieces where voryn raised him for the first few years.

feel free to send asks abt my ocs i love answering them

Remember to opt out of the ai update in your blog settings so tumblr cant steal your art

((Not a joke, its above mass post editor))

Aw, thanks for looking out and giving a heads up, anon. I have seen some posts about it (and will reblog some of them in a moment), but I appreciate you making sure I knew.

For the record, the relevant setting is under Blog Settings -> Visibility -> Prevent third-party sharing. It has to be done individually for every blog/sideblog, and (currently) doesn't seem to be available on mobile, from what I've seen.

There are a number of questions on the actual efficacy of the setting (it's possible that data may have already been sent? why is it fucking opt-out instead of opt-in, yet again, when there were huge uproars and really damned solid points made on why that's shitty when places like deviantart did it, like "what about folks who have left/died"?)...but better to do it than not, just in case it actually does something.

I have been...struggling very hard not to fall to the nihilism in *gestures vaguely* all of this, for a long while now. But boy howdy, does it keep getting harder.

It may also be worth it for folks to try editing old posts to update their images with a Glazed and/or Nightshaded version, in the hopes that those are what get trained on. (Glaze is intended to protect from style imitation, and Nightshade poisons training data so incorrect outputs are given relative to their word prompts. If you use both, the dev team recommends Nightshade first, Glaze second.)

Also, I was gonna wait until I got an email response to a few questions I had about the site (mostly like "hey can we ramble in tags or are they purely archival haha"), and then maybe poke around myself to see how I felt about it, before bringing it up. But if you're looking for a new combo art portfolio/social media site, there's one called Cara. Their small team has worked with the Glaze team to incorporate a webglaze version into their site (and will eventually include Nightshade, when a web version of that is also made available). It seems like it could be a good option for folks who are interested in using Glaze, but don't have a computer able to run it themselves.

@thedragonagelesbian I hope you're ready for Modern Au bg3 blorbos time fueled by cough syrup and coffee

So in Modern Au Amour works at a strip / dance bar club

Gale is a highly esteemed university professor and got dragged to club as he was part of a bachelor party and it happened to be karokee night

Amour often stays after thier shift for drinks and the two of them really hit it off by singing ABBA together after one too many tequila sunrises and woke up with Huge hangovers the next day.

They meet Wyll at the waffle house he's stuck working at to pay for his university courses, Mizora is a district manager for waffle house.

I may change waffle house to a dennys because I plan on basing this fic in victoria bc or vancouver bc since those are the 2 big cities I know lmao

Astarion was a magistrate but needed to leave his previous job asap for reasons (cazador), so is working as a criminal defense lawyer when Amour gets accused of murder

Shadowheart had been working at anti-abortion 'clinic' but now works as a real nurse at the hospita

edit: actually having Shadowheart formely working at one of those 'hypno therapy' 'alternative medicine' places makes more sense for Shar stuff

Lae'zel teaches self defense as a disillusioned army vet and secretly a hacktivist

Karlach was a body guard but after an accident that left her with a lot of scars , she moved and is rebuilding her life as a bouncer for the club Amour works at

Halsin is a vetrinarian working at a wildlife animal rescue and is also works for the districts search and rescue emergency services. Poor guy is very over worked.

Jaheria is a social worker specializing in helping the homeless and is also very overworked

I have not done an "evil"run yet that recruits Minthara so Im not sure what would suit her best and am open to suggestions

Minsc is a gym bro, no one dares tell him he cant bring Boo to the gym and most customers dont know he actually owns the gym because hes genuinely friendly with everyone and wants them to have a fun place to work out.

I really hope this is coherent enough to read cuz Im on mobile and whatever sick i caught is making me dizzy 😵

Also tagging @captain-kraken because I know you like this Au to 💜💜💜

[wilbursootirl]

getting those blinkies to work was suchhh a pain in the arse btw . my desktop doesnt save blinkies so i save them on phone and add them on mobile. but then once i finished the tag list it wouldnt let me edit on desktop. but i cant link posts on mobile. so i had to delete the headers and blinkies on mobile, link the tag list on desktop, and then GO INTO TUMBLR ON BROWSER AND MOBILE TO BE ABLE TO ADD MY BLINKIES. HELL EARTH!!

[dandelionstep-moved]

16 for the hermitcraft ask game?

16: Have you ever laughed so hard at a Hermitcraft moment that it hurt?

after getting this ask i realized that i've already reblogged that ask game before, oops :'D i answered the same question here, but here's a summary anyway!!

"well haven’t laughed at any clips to the point of it hurting, but ive definitely had some come up in my mind every now and then that send me into tears /lh some are:

- bdubs doing a bit where doc cheated on him for ren after they killed the ender dragon together

- grian and scar scaring bdubs with the proximity mod

- xisuma accidentally blowing up the paintings of bdubs’ shop

- xisuma taking .5 seconds to make fun of iskall"

sooo i was a bit unsure if i should just add some new ones, but i just went with it anyway!! :]

there's already a ton of clips out there of bdubs being Average Height™ which are always hilarious, but here's one of my own lol

actually all the s7 decked out stuff was always super fun to watch, and definitely had some pretty funny momence :] honestly it's a shame that tango couldn't really participate, considering he has a habit of making Those Weird Noises™ when he's surprised lmao

so many of my other favorite clips are just Hermits but not Hermitcraft :sobsobsob:

in s8 e1 zedaph called chickens "slightly older eggs" and that knocked me out

seriously i keep finding links and realize they're all from 3rd life or among us streams :'] maybe i'll post them later lmao
