i’m getting spammed with anon hate and i honestly don’t think this place is redeemable so im probs not going to be posting for idk how long. radblr has given me less than nothing. since joining radblr, people have overwhelmingly been unbelievably cruel to me.

my first year on radblr, women 1-2 decades older than me viciously harassed me for asking questions as someone not familiar with certain beliefs held here. these women harassed me for months non-stop, posted my full legal name, posted homes neighbouring where i lived in bahrain, and essentially released my private information. i had to threaten them back just in hopes they would leave me alone, which they didn’t really do. they simply stopped posting my name bc they wanted to make me look like im bad for finding one of their names simply by googling her url (her full name was her twitter username). one of the people in that circle was radicaldumbass, who then came back as macroclit, and again came back as radicalstoner. i moved on but i haven’t forgotten.

then, black-diaspora repeated the same thing. she posted pictures of my mother and led people to finding my mom's facebook. to this day, i still get anons with my mother’s name and my sister’s name. my sister was about 13 when anons first started sending me her name in threatening anons. somehow, black-diaspora was rewritten as a victim of mine despite her being repeatedly racist & lesbophobic to me & posting my mom’s info.

i was being abused by my ex-gf and women on here literally picked my abuse apart and enabled TRAs like lostelvenqueen to make up lies that i was the one abusing my abuser. that vicious lie was reiterated for 4 years. while being abused, women on radblr were mocking me for needing money when my ex-girlfriend was actively stealing from me at the time. to this day people use against me the fact that i needed help in that time bc some mutuals helped finance 2 dinners & my medication, all of which i either paid them back for or drew art as payment.

then, again, another woman dug through an old blog i ran as a teenager and found some posts here and there to make it seem like i, as a 15 and 16 year old, definitely loved being totally controlled by someone and physically abused whenever i didn’t follow his exact commands. i spoke openly about this trauma years prior to this person “exposing” me & arguing that i actually wanted that abuse by pointing to random innocuous posts and forming a story out of it. i think every abuse victim can imagine how difficult it is to still face trauma from something and instead of being allowed to heal, having it brought up to you several days a week to taunt you and having “feminists” tell you that you actually wanted it and are lying when you say otherwise. to this day, i get daily anons mentioning my name because this woman also put my legal name out there.

women here have put me in physical danger, they have made up the vilest lies about me, they’ve called me racial slurs, they’ve been outright racist to me, they’ve speculated about my rape & abuse, they’ve joked about lynching me, they’ve questioned things as minuscule as what i had for dinner. and despite that, i haven’t returned that same treatment. i remained relatively consistent, i simply criticised what i thought was wrong and provided evidence to my statements.

i made some nice friends on here & i’ll keep talking to them. but i’m going to be reevaluating why i’m wasting my time in a space that has overwhelmingly caused me stress, a space where countless unbelievable lies have been spun about me and a place where people have said & done the vilest things and in the end, i was always framed as a bad person based on half-truths or outright lies. now, people falsely claim that women who unfollow me or block me risk having their private information exposed, when i have met at least a dozen women from radblr and run a server with hundreds of women from radblr, have seen hundreds of faces, and have never exposed such information even if we end up disliking each other. i could tolerate many ridiculous lies, but why should i? i’m pretty fed up of tolerating this.

enjoy spinning this however you want and lying about me further. idk when i’ll be back or if i’ll want to be back. it’s pretty clear to me that this space prioritises lesbophobes & racists (& sometimes even downright misogynists) over people who calmly criticise it. i joined this space initially bc i thought it was somewhere where i could freely be a lesbian without being hassled for it, but radblr doesn’t even offer that anymore.

#if sth posts from my blog there’s a big chance it’s my queue #bye

How To Set Up An Ao3 Exchange

One of the first things I say whenever anyone asks me about running exchanges is that if you have more than about 30 people in the exchange, do NOT try to match it by hand. That is so much work and takes so much time. Use Ao3's matching algorithm. And people say sure, and then they look at how Ao3 works and they go uhhhhhhhhhh I think we can make a google form work. Because google forms are reasonably intuitive to make work, and Ao3 exchanges are— not.

But the thing is, once you understand the underlying logic for Ao3 collections, they are not that bad, and seriously I can't overstate the benefit of having Ao3 do the matching for you. That's like the difference between 80 hours of curating data as it comes in and then matching it (what happened with hand-matching 325 people for holiday exchange), or 2 hours of double-checking the matching (what happened with matching 125 people for 48 hour exchange). You have to put in extra work to get an Ao3 exchange set up, but it super pays off in the end. So! Here is an intro to how Ao3 exchanges work on the back end. This explanation assumes you know how to sign up for an exchange because I've posted ones like that before, for example, here.

Let's get into it.

THE COLLECTION

The first thing you want to do is set up your exchange collection. If you go to your right-hand drop-down menu, you click on My Collections.

That brings you to every collection you have ever made, and you go to to the right and click "New collection".

That brings you into the back end of the collection. You want to go down and put in a name for the collection that will be the url (so no spaces), a display name, an email for the collection to email when something happens to the collection (this will be public, so use a fandom email), and a basic description.

There's places there to do custom icons and headers, but those are optional, but you can go in and make your exchange pretty later if you want!

We are still in the "setting up" stage of the exchange, so once we go to preferences, you want to select all the tick boxes and make it look like this.

Moderated means that you'll have to manually approve things to be added to the collection (not absolutely necessary but can keep out trolls, and it also means that you can manually check that gifts meet minimums before you let them in to the exchange), Closed means that no one can submit things to the collection yet (once you open your exchange you de-select this), Unrevealed means that any works in the collection will show up as "mystery works" and not be readable (so you keep it unrevealed until the posting date, so people can post early but not spoil the surprise), anonymous means that all authors will be anonymous (this depends on if you have an anonymous portion of your exchange, so it's optional), "show random works" just means that you get a selection of different works when people visit the collection at different times, "send a message to the collection email" is optional but is useful for moderation (like if you're checking people off a list when their gifts get delivered), and "type of challenge" you want to be set to "gift exchange".

and then on this page the only other things of concern are places where you can put in an FAQ, a description and some instructions, but those are all optional! I normally host the FAQ on tumblr, so I just say "go check the tumblr at [link]".

And then you hit the submit button.

Now we get into the nitty-gritty.

First up is some optional stuff— you can add in the times that you're going to do things! This is useful for communication, but not necessary. We're still setting everything up, so you do not want Sign-Ups to be open, that is only selected once you have everything ready to go.

Then scrolling down, you get to Requests and Offers.

This is where you specify the absolute minimum ships or characters that you want people to give you to sign up. 10 is the maximum Ao3 allows, so I always set it to 10 for both "allowed", which is the maximum the site will allow. And required is the low number. I usually set it to a minimum of three, to make sure someone doesn't sign up with "i will only write one ship" or something. This way, people will have to do a minimum of three separate requests and offers.

The "requests visible" is part of the back end thing, and it's up to you if you want to select it or not. If you keep it unselected, the only person who will be able to see requests is the mods, and eventually each person will see their assignment. If you select it, people will be able to browse everyone's requests and both maybe target offers so they can write for a specific person, and be able to find treats (extra bonus gifts) to write for people whose requests they like. Each side has its own benefits or negatives, it's up to you which ones you want to go with!

And here we get into more of the matching info! Let's look at Request Settings.

Now this is what the settings would look like for a multi-fandom exchange. The "details/description" box you want to make mandatory because that is where people will put their DNW and their prompts (and you absolutely want to make sure everyone has a DNW), and the url is an optional one which lets people link an off-site letter on google docs or dreamwidth.

Fandom allowing up to three fandoms means that people can do crossovers if they want (or tag a request something like 3rd life/hermitcraft), and if I wanted to say that people had to request 3 separate servers I would say "must be unique" but I'm okay if people sign up with three Dream SMP relationships in this idea hypothetical exchange, so I'm not selecting the unique button.

I'm ignoring the characters button cause that's extra complication, the only other thing I want to look at is the relationship button. A minimum of 1 ship per request (and there's a minimum of three requests), and let's say you can go up to 20, so people can request LOTS of different ships. I did select "must be unique" so someone can't sign up with the same ship three times. The "allow any" button is off, which means that I will have to select relationships that fit under the fandom that I selected one up, I can't request Shubble/Niki Nihachu (Origins), and put it with a fandom request for Hermitcraft. This has set it so that the absolutely minimum someone can sign up with is 3 relationships (3 requests * 1 relationship each), and the absolute maximum is 200 relationships (10 requests * 20 relationships each).

Requests will look much the same, except I am not putting down details/description or a URL, because I'm not letting people submit requests about what ship they "really" want to match on, they are going to be equally matchable to everyone they offered. Some exchanges will let you submit a requests DNW, but honestly that is so much extra work for the mods, I would not recommend it unless you think it's necessary to stop people from dropping their gifts later.

Okay, so now we take a brief digression into a tag set.

THE TAG SET

Okay so basically a tag set is an extra set of sliders that lets you fine-tune your exchange. If you do not use a tag set, when people sign up they will be able to use every canon tag on the archive, and only canon tags. Which is a LOT of tags, but when I ran an exchange without a tag set there were multiple times of hitting non-canon relationships or tags. But it's also a definite extra complication, tag sets are extra fiddly work and they are even less intituive. If you just want to go without a tag set, skip down to the matching segment. If you do want to avoid hitting people signing up with non-canon tags, keep reading.

I'm gonna say right off the bat that tag sets are the single most like "oh I am getting into the GUTS of the machine" part of running Ao3 exchanges, but if you can make them work they can super streamline both the sign-up (for your participants ) and the matching process (for you).

Oh boy, tag sets. Here we start getting into how exchanges start squeezing the interface to make it do what we want it to. I'm using a tag set, so first I clicked on the "tag set" url there and I made my tag set, and then I came back and selected its name from the drop-down menu on the collection. I leave all the tick boxes open, because selecting them will again restrict you to canon tags, and we specifically want to be open to noncanon tags both because of issues like "ijevin & tiny tim" not being a canon tag, and because the way MCYT tags are wrangled and made canon does not work for how the exchange machine reads information. We specifically want a collection of non-canon tags tuned for our needs. More on that later.

So, I started a new tag set, and I'm over there on that screen, looking at it. What does that screen look like?

Okay so, part of the appeal of a tag set is that your participants are able to specify the difference between "Rendog & InTheLittleWood" and "Rendog/InTheLittleWood". You don't have to worry about people getting undesired shipping, because people were specifying if they wanted shipping when they signed up. You can reduce a great deal of people getting matched badly by using relationship matching, because most of the time even if people want a Tommy-centric fic, there's a pretty big difference between people who want "Tommy & Technoblade" and "Tommy & Dream". By specifying who you want the gift to be about, you remove a big hurdle of matching right away. That's why most exchanges run on relationship matching.

However, if there are 37 people on a given server, that's something like 2,600 possible combinations of people if you include both romantic and platonic, and that's before you start getting into trios, and that's just way too many tags for the mods to enter manually. So what you do is run a nomination period, and for a week or two weeks you go to all your participants and you go "do you want to sign up for this exchange? Nominate the tags you want to use now! If it doesn't get nominated, it can't be used!" And then people head to the tag set to nominate.

So, on this page, you want "visible tag list" to be selected, because you want people to see what's already been nominated so they don't duplicate, and you want "currently taking nominations" to be selected because you will be taking those nominations instead of doing them all yourself.

So you have to set up limits on those nominations.

The point of taking nominations is to make matching easier, so people normally use the same fandom and relationship limits as they are going to use on the sign-up, to make sure there aren't dozens of tags in the tag set that nobody's using, just cluttering up the space. It also helps stop the issue where someone sees a tag in the tag set, goes "oh man I love that ship" and signs up, but its an extra tag that no one intended to offer, so they don't match to anyone. That's why sometimes people keep the amount of tags that can be nominated low, I've seen people limit this to 10 tags, or even 7, so that's up to you.

And you save, and now when you link your participants the tag set, they will have a "nominate" button.

They will hurry over to press that button, and then they will see a page that looks like this.

This is a thing where you absolutely want to give your participants detailed instructions, because what Ao3 will try to do is auto-fill people's nominations with canonical tags. WE DO NOT WANT CANONICAL TAGS. CANONICAL TAGS ARE THE ENEMY OF EXCHANGES. CANONICAL TAGS ARE THE ENEMY OF MCYT EXCHANGES IN PARTICULAR.

Remember back when we clicked the button that says tags have to be unique? The canonical tag for Philza & Technoblade doesn't have a server on it, and people might want to be requesting that relationship for SMPEarth, Dream SMP, Origins SMP, or arguably even QSMP. If you only have the canonical tag, people can only request a specific dynamic once, for one server. And that is a problem for every situation where people interacted on multiple servers, and with the network of overlaps that is Empires/SOS/3rd Life/Hermitcraft and DSMP/Origins/SMPEarth/QSMP, that's going to lead to unhappy participants. So you tell people to nominate the ship and also "disambiguate" it, and add the server in parentheses. And then all your participants will hit the button to submit, and you will go into the "review nominations" button, and you will let those tags into the tag set.

Now I just distributed the tag set to a couple friends, so let's look at what this looks like behind the scenes.

Brace yourself, it's gonna be wild, but I believe we can get through it.

Now here is a perfectly standard look at tag set nominations after a few people have gotten into the tag set. This is why they pay tag mods the big bucks.

As you can see, there are a few things to be gathered. The first things is a bunch of people used the canon tags (because that's what Ao3 tries to get them to do), someone else nominated an x-reader ship, we have one tag there twice (spelled differently), and the tags are Piped (they have both the person's tax name and the username). (You can let tags in that are Piped, but I find that it makes the tag set harder to read, and usually exchanges are character-focused unless you're writing video blogging rpf anyways, so I ask people to submit tags unpiped, using usernames.) And for the tags that were nominated in a way that I want (unpiped, and disambiguated so they're unique), Ao3 is trying to get me to use the canon tag. But I don't want the canon tag, I want a unique tag, with the server on it, with no pipes. So.

So were I moderating the tag set, after a few minutes it would look like this.

That's going through and disambiguating the tags (adding the server, which I could tell because of the fandom it was nominated under), removing the piping and using the usernames instead of tax names, and then re-ordering the names so they're alphabetical so people can find them on the list later, rejecting the x-reader tag, rejecting the duplicate and allowing the one that's spelled correctly through. Amazing. I have tags that I want to use (I did some other tags that were ready to go in other fandoms as well). I hit submit. Am I ready to go?

No, because tag sets are the most complicated part of exchanges.

I open up my tag set, and if I scroll down to "Unassociated characters and relationships" there are a bunch of tags that are are lost, Ao3 doesn't know where to put them. This is because we very carefully made unique tags that have not been wrangled anywhere, and Ao3 said "i don't know where these go" and shoved them all together in a garbage bin at the bottom of the page. So we have to manually go in to associate them to the right fandoms.

You hit the Edit button on the tag set, and scroll down to the bottom, to "tag associations", and start selecting where tags go.

Honestly this is a great time to be listening to a stream or a podcast or something, and then you have the tag set open in another tab so you know what all the unassociated tags are, and you just go down the list like a databasing machine. It is not hard, cause you disambiguated each tag with its own server, it's just time consuming. Note. This is why people go in and accept tags regularly during the nomination period, because if you do this all at the end you've got a BIG job ahead of you.

So, you turned on your VOD playlist and you associated all your tags, and all the tags are where they are supposed to go. You have a beautiful tag set.

But wait, you say, looking at this beautiful tag set. Some of those tags look at little different. What is the "Dream smp and only dream smp" that a couple of them have?

Well.

You see.

Ao3 designed tag sets to work a certain way, and nobody uses them that way. It turns out that "Quackity/Wilbur Soot (Dream SMP)" is a wrangled canon tag, and the system goes "ah, I know where this goes, this is a sub-tag of the major tag, and the top-level tag is Video Blogging RPF, so it goes under Video Blogging RPF, as all MCYT tags do. I am very smart. I have stuck this Dream SMP tag under Video Blogging RPF. I am a good machine". And then you go AUUUUUUUUGH, and then you turn up the podcast a little louder, and then you sit down and you delete the old tag and you write out a new tag that the system doesn't know what to do with, and it goes uhhhhhhh and sticks it in "unassociated tags" and then you go in again and you manually associate it into the right server.

It's not hard, it's just time consuming. Shouting at the tag set like STOP TELLING ME WHAT TO DO as it helpfully tries to stick dsmp tags in SMPearth and you wrestle it out of SMPEarth and into the right fandom bucket.

Deep breath moment. Honestly that's the most fiddly part of a fiddly process, so if you can get through this you're absolutely golden.

Anyways. You got clean disambiguated unique tags, and then you associated them in the right spot, and then you found the ones that got sorted to the wrong spot and you associated them yourself, and now you have a beautiful tag set ready to go. It's a thing of beauty. Shed a tear. Your participants can select from anything in this tag set, and you know they want to use these specific relationships, because they submitted them to you. What next?

THE MATCHING

Okay. You have your tag set set up and it's accepting nominations. Your participants are filling it out right now. You go back to your collection. it's time to tell it how to match.

This is the "minimum number to match" pane, and this is the minimum numbers to make a successful match. You want 1 for Fandom, and 1 for Relationship, and that's it. People will show up to the machine as a viable match as long as they have submitted a fandom and relationship that matches someone else's offered fandom and relationship.

This is a minimum viable exchange. You're ready to go. As soon as your tag set is done (or immediately if you're not using a tag set), you're ready to go back and open your exchange to sign-ups.

Congratulations!

FURTHER TWEAKING

HOWEVER. There is more that you can do. For example, do you want to allow people to request or opt into NSFW? There's an easy way to do that! First thing is you go back to your tag set, and you scroll down to the "ratings" section that you've been ignoring.

You select G and E, and that way, if people are opting into explicit that means they're okay with NSFW, and if they only select G, that means they only want a non-explicit piece.

Then on the collection you switch the requests and offers sections to include a place to specify a rating.

You want them to definitely specify at least one, and if you maximum allowed is 2, people can opt into both and say "i'm good with whatever"!

Then you scroll down to the matching section, and you tweak that to make sure that people will match on Fandom, Relationship, and at least one Rating.

Bingo. You now have a toggle to turn NSFW on and off.

But a lot of people like to match by TYPE of gift too, specifying if they want art or fic or playlist or web weave etc. How do you do that? Ah, at this point you are master of all you survey, and you can make tag sets do absolutely anything you want. You go back to the tag set and you scroll down to "characters".

Now we were matching on relationships, so the character box is unused. And it lets you put in your own tags. So what you do is you start to add in custom tags.

And then you go back to the Collection settings, and on the requests and the offers you go in to the "characters" section and you say "must select at least one, can select up to six".

And then, you guessed it— you go back to "minimum number to match" and you set that "characters" tab to 1 minimum, 6 maximum. Now people who specified that they wanted Art can be matchable to artists who Offered Art. You have unlimited power, the world is at your fingertips.

There's even more customization that you can do, too! There's "additional tags", which is entirely custom tags you add yourself, that can be anything from specifying if people want fluff or horror or hurt/comfort etc— with the recursive exchange we used it to specify the works people were recursing— I'm considering using it for holidays with the holiday exchange. You can let people opt in or out of major archive warnings by selecting "archive warnings" as a thing that's in the tag set and that you're matching for. Once you understand how the underpinnings of how the machine works, you can wrestle it into almost any shape you want.

So. Whew. That's how exchanges work, under the hood. When I say that this is significantly easier than hand matching the holiday exchange, I ask you to picture just how complicated hand matching gets. Go forth! Thrive! Set up exchanges if you want! The world is your oyster!

Feel free to message me if you have further questions.

Spam blogs in the Hazbin tags

I posted about this once before and it seemed a bunch of people had gotten similar messages, so I'm compiling a list of the AI art scam blogs that I’ve come across so far. (Details below- Full list at the bottom of the post)

So the scam goes like this: The blog follows you. Shortly after, (sometimes a few minutes, sometimes a few days) they will send you a generic greeting, ask how you're doing, etc. They'll sometimes ask about favorite characters and OCs as well. They then ask if you'd like to see some of their art (which is generally AI made), and afterwards will offer to make you something. Whether they actually deliver on this 'art' or not I have no clue, but when you tell them you don't want a $40 commission, they start asking things like "Why? Is it the money? When do you get paid next?"

It goes the same every time and there are several repeated names in the blog urls. Whoever this is is very bad at scamming, however, and I honestly originally thought they were a bot. Either way, looks like they don't like lizards...

(RUDE)

Anyway, these blogs are extremely easy to pick out once you've seen them, they're practically all the same. They'll all be very recently made and have no content other than 5-20ish reblogs from Hazbin and Helluva tags. They also sometimes post AI art with big 'PREVIEW' bars across it and these blogs then share and compliment each other's AI art (seriously, how do they find the time??)

If this has happened to you and they aren't on here, please feel free to reblog with the url or send me a message (I'll add the blog to the main list once I take a look and make sure it's not just someone being a jerk and handing over a real person's url)

And whoever you are that’s doing this, please do us all a favor. GET A LIFE AND STOP TRYING TO SELL AI IMAGES GO TAKE SOME TIME TO PRACTICE ACTUAL ART INSTEAD OF WASTING YOUR LIFE BEING A JERK

scuse my rudeness there, anyway:

[MESSAGE FROM THE CLERGY]

An important (and overwinded) announcement regarding this blog below the cut.

Hello everyone! This is Rawkin Ghoul/ Tumblr Ghoul/ Tumblrina/ Soda/ etc etc.

First thing’s first: no, this blog is not an official Ghost social media account.

I started this blog in late 2022 when ghost-official started blowing up (I do not believe this one to be real either, and honestly I won’t believe they have a Tumblr until it is linked on their official website) and thought, “wow, I could make a better Ghost blog than that. One that’s way better organized and actually advertises properly for them, and posts regularly!” So I did.

Originally it was meant as just that, a little joke between some friends, and wasn’t meant to really get farther than that. But then I thought, Ghost does have a lot of fans on Tumblr- a lot of exquisitely talented and devoted fans. Maybe I can kinda “roleplay” it for a while, build almost a bit of a portfolio, and then either offer the blog to management or offer to run it for them officially, for fun, if they were interested.

More time passes and more people followed. I thought “xofficial” as a username was a common enough joke/ gimmick that people would realize it wasn’t for real (and in fact, when I first searched the URL, I found that this username was once in use years ago! Sorry, previous owner), especially after posting that April Fools joke post- this was wrong of me to assume. There are a lot of roleplay/ joke “official” Ghost accounts all over the web but I failed to really properly disclaim that I was one of them.

I of course don’t plan to reach out to Ghost anymore and haven’t for some time, for multiple reasons including Tumblr just not being a good website for advertising. But another one is I got pretty loose on here. Tumblr is so different from Twitter and Insta and all that- you guys (and myself! I go here too) don’t want to have someone sell something to you- but you do love interaction and jokes and solving things together.

I think we can all admit it- when Ghost is dormant, the fans can get bored and even agitated, and can start to have a go at eachother. I’m certainly not guiltless there either. I wouldn’t say I’m notorious or even particularly well known in general but I’ve gotten into drama here and there. I figured the blog would be a fun way not just to distract the community, but really engage with it. The blog passed 5k a month or so ago and I started thinking, we could do something really cool with it. Smaller events like fanart contests and zines. But what if we did more? Organizing pre-ritual meetups. Larger community projects like fan-made music videos. ARG. Maybe even a short video game- there are so many incredibly skilled and hard-working Ghost fans and I wanted to try to bring them together because I think our love for Ghost, for whatever reason we love them, screams so loud and everyone deserves recognition (also a reason I started Fanart Friday as a regular thing).

You guys know I do my best to keep up with your tagging and what you’re saying and everything and I’ve seen the people pointing out the blog isn’t real from the beginning- I didn’t want to address it directly at first because I thought if nothing else people enjoyed the mystery.

But, more lately there’s been more and more people who are agitated, disappointed, and even a little scared to hear that this blog is not official.

I want to offer my very sincere apologies to people who I made feel that way. I should have made it obvious sooner- I know so well that there are a lot of very young Ghost fans especially who wouldn’t necessarily surmise that this isn’t real. I’m really sorry to those of you I disappointed.

I will never ask you for money here, or any personal information, or send asks anonymous or otherwise from here or my main personal blog as “Tumblr Ghoul”. I have had one person ask to message me so I messaged them to allow them to do that. If somebody contacts you claiming to be the person running this blog, they are lying. Please block them. My interactions here I aim to keep as public as possible, hence being increasingly liberal with replies and reblogs as the number of people interacting grew.

My only goal with this blog is to advertise for a band that I love and to entertain/ help the fandom when and where I can. I love and appreciate all the fanart and interest in the character of Tumblr Ghoul but I don’t want anybody to feel obligated to me and I especially don’t want to hurt anybody. I started this blog for fun and that how I want it to remain- fun for everyone.

People pointed out when I didn’t post for some time a few months back and it was because I had lost interest in the blog and was going through a rough time- and then one particularly bad day I got on to check it by chance and just seeing your guy’s tags and comments made me feel so much better. I tell people that I found Ghost when I really needed a friend and they fulfilled that for me, but the past few months you guys have done just the same for me. I am so sorry to have betrayed that and made you feel unsafe and lied to in return.

As of posting I do intend to still run the blog as I have been (with a disclaimer added to the bio regarding the legitimacy of this account)- posting about tours, chapters, merch, etc, as well as Fanart Friday. I 100% understand if anybody doesn’t want to be involved in that, so anybody who has tagged me in something and don’t want it on the blog now, I can open messages and you can let me know. I will probably close them again after a week or so if I get a large flood of unrelated messages.

Please do not message me asking me who I am, who knows about the blog, etc. Gaining popularity was never something I wanted from this so I will stay anonymous, for the time being at the very least. A very small number of people know who is behind the blog and to my knowledge only one of them is even on Tumblr and in the fandom.

Thank you for all the support you’ve shown me, Ghost, and eachother. It can be easy to see the bad parts of a community and roll your eyes electing to keep your distance, but since starting this blog I’ve been reminded what good community is even when it’s frustrating sometimes.

Thank you for reading, I won’t hold it against anybody who wants to separate themselves from this blog at this point, and please don’t let my oversight and general dummyness sour your experience with Ghost or its other fans. Enjoy the rest of this tour and whether it’s with or without me, please keep rawking 🤘 Be good to eachother.

Thank you.

LOL, you shitheads again? You must really love getting your asses kicked if you're coming to me, of all people.

For anybody unaware, the Satanists behind the website mentioned in this ask are a bunch of openly antisemitic conspiracy theorists appropriating Eastern traditions, and they've been trying to advertise themselves and increase their SEO by sending asks like these. Each ask is tailored to appeal to whatever they think your beliefs might be, but they all follow a similar template that goes something like:

What do you think of [URL redacted]? They claim to follow [insert gods here], they [something about supporting abortion], and they're the largest [insert group here] group in the world."

The spirituality promoted on this website is rooted in deeply antisemitic conspiracy theories and pseudohistory. If I addressed every single claim they made, I'd be here all day, so I'm going to stick to a few examples:

They claim that Satanism isn't a reaction to Christianity, but is in fact older than Christianity. This is straight-up pseudohistorical bullshit.

They claim that Jews have perpetrated a grand conspiracy to conceal true spiritual knowledge from the masses. They outright cite The Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion, a Czarist hoax created to justify violence against Russian Jews in the late 19th century. They claim that Christianity is a Jewish tool of world domination and mind control.

They claim that "Jewish ritual murder" is a thing. This is blood libel, an old conspiracy theory used to demonize Jews.

They claim that Jesus was a fictional creation made out of tropes "stolen" from various pagan gods. There is no actual evidence for this; it's another conspiracy theory. For a scholarly look at what most probably happened, I recommend How Jesus Became God: The Exaltation of a Jewish Preacher from Galilee by Bart D. Erhman. Or if you can't get your hands on the books, just look into Dr. Ehrman's videos/lectures on the topic on YouTube.

They push the extremely racist ancient aliens bullshit, claiming that the pagan gods were actually aliens.

They claim that the serpent actually represents human DNA, life force, and kundalini. This is a conspiracy theory that disregards the diversity of lore about serpents in various belief systems and traditions around the world, and culturally appropriates from Eastern traditions.

Their idea of what constitutes genuine Satanic practices is basically New Agers' bastardized versions of Eastern concepts and practices.

They claim that the "Tree of Life" is actually a stolen pagan symbol that maps the human soul. Again, an unsubstantiated conspiracy theory that disregards the actual significance of trees within the various traditions that involve them.

They claim that the Pentateuch was ripped off from the five suits of the tarot, and that tarot has ancient origins with alchemical significance. Tarot was actually invented in the 15th century for playing games. Mystical symbolism was applied by occultists in the 18th century.

The creators of the site apparently believe that the Simon Necronomicon is a genuine translation of older documents. It's not. The Necronomicon was a literary device created by HP Lovecraft; every text purporting to be a translation of the Necronomicon is a modern creation.

If you get an anon message like this in your inbox, do not post it. These people want you to share their URL to get more publicity and spread their antisemitic conspirituality. Don't give them what they want.

Something really funny to me when people get mad that I track my name tag is like.

(Again I've never interacted with the first OP so idk why she specifically is so insistent on blatantly making shit up about me when I've never done or said the shit she accuses me of)

But like. The post under it? The one that I am clearly tagged in? The one of someone starting a conversation with me about a show I started watching and then that OP started watching due to seeing me talk about it? Yeah that's not in my notes or my mentions on my activity page. It's just straight up not there.

Several years ago I realized I wasn't seeing all of my mentions and so I started tracking my url just in case someone was trying to talk to me and it wasn't appearing in my activity page. I found several pages' worth of people asking me questions, sending me photos and fanart of the dogs, trying to get my attention due to a doberman thing, etc that NEVER made it to my mentions. I have tracked my name ever since.

Anyway I just thought it was really funny because like. Yes, I do certainly see who says my name on this webbed site and the reason for it is in fact right below your exact post: sometimes when people tag me the notification for it straight up disappears and I would never see the tag if I don't keep an eye on it in the search. Consider not posting incessantly about me and then I won't see you talking about me in the worst faith possible. I don't really want to live rent-free in your head and I don't really understand your beef with me tbh. Why is it a greater sin to keep an eye on when my name gets dropped than to be constantly talking smack about someone who has no idea who you are?

Oh just for funsies but I've also noticed the same problem in reverse. That photoset of the dobe mix puppy playing with OP's resident dog? Not in my name tag again despite blatantly having tagged me in that post. That one was in my notifications. So apparently not only do some tags only show up by searching, but also some tags only show up by notification. AND THEN a third and final problem: there's some posts that don't mention me at all in my name tag as well??? Tumblr go home you're drunk

Holy shit if you dont want to see owl videos simply change your url

let me ask you something, anon.

Do you think if someone’s url had “dog-videos” in it that would mean they enjoy being sent videos of dogs being beaten or getting hyperthermia in hot cars? Do you think they would take it as a genuine “hey I’m worried about whether this is ethical or not” when the video they send in is a dog getting pinned down by a lion?

People who like and work with animals generally don’t enjoy being sent videos of animal abuse for no reason. A little owl being licked by a house cat, aside from being a video I have rated numerous times over the years, is a bit hard for me to believe is a genuine question on ethics. I can only say so many times that feline saliva is toxic to birds and I can only say so many times that owls don’t like to be touched in most cases.

Any video with an owl interacting with a cat is unethical.

Any video with an owl in an obvious pet situation is unethical.

I cannot make that any clearer, if you don’t know anything about owls, may I recommend checking my “rated: cute” and “rated: not cute” tags. I have recommended tags set up on the search bar for this blog for a reason.

#owlvid weighs in #‘But you’re the owl video blog why don’t you like my video of animal abuse >:(‘#be normal #find a video that isn’t blatantly abusive. find something dubious. I’m tired of reiterating the obvious.#Worth noting as well there are weirdos who send me videos/images/gifs of owls being harmed or abused #as a form of anon hate #whenever there are enough weirdos upset at me for whatever arbitrary reason #so as you can imagine I am a bit sick of them

man i'm just an idea factory all of a sudden anyway i looked at ur url and now i'm thinking about jeonghan jisung threesome it's such a random pairing but pls spare thots if u have any 🤲🏻 the stayrats are starving

PAIRING | jeonghan x afab!reader x han

WC | 2.0k

WARNINGS | explicit language, explicit sexual content (threesome, slight mxm, slight dom/sub dynamics but nothing too serious, making out, oral (m and f receiving), p in v sex, creampie, unprotected sex)

A/N | idk how i never thought about this pairing because my biases :(( but holy shit?? You have opened my mind to so many new possibilities and tbh this just makes me wonder even more how some people can only stan one group when there’s so many hotties and so many fun dynamics there are </33 tysm for this request bae i'm having so much fun writing these aaaa!! (and to anyone else seeing this, my requests are open until july 16 if you want to send in an ask as well.)

REQUEST! | EVENT MASTERLIST

to start off, jeonghan would definitely be the one in charge, the dominant one out of the three of you. we all know he’s a cocky, smug bastard, and that definitely translates to how he acts in this dynamic. he knows that he’s got the upper hand, that the two of you will do whatever he wants—you’re eating out of the palm of his pretty little hand, and he’s loving every second of it.

on the other hand, jisung would be the submissive, whiny baby of the three of you. at first he’d definitely be a little awkward and a little intimidated by having two beautiful people at once, but he’d get used to it very fast. he so badly wants to impress both of you, be good for you, and so he plays jeonghan’s game eagerly, trying to receive praise. when jeonghan just teases him, he turns to you, making himself feel better in your arms—he knows that you can’t resist his charms, his cuteness.

jeonghan definitely starts off by claiming you, wanting to show jisung that he’s the one in charge and there’s nothing that’ll change that. the way that jeonghan kisses you is passionate, messy—it’s like you’re his first meal in weeks, and he’s intent on devouring every morsel of you before jisung can even have a single bite. his teeth clash against yours and one of his hands moves to the back of your neck to pull you even deeper into the kiss. jisung sits off to the side, trying to ignore his growing erection as he watches the two of you make out. he tries to resist the urge to palm himself over his pants, but his patience dissolves as soon as jeonghan reaches up to tear open your thin blouse, popping a few buttons off of it and making you exclaim in disapproval into the kiss. the mere sight of your bra and cleavage is enough to send jisung into a state of desperation, a whine escaping his lips as he watches jeonghan hog your attention.

upon hearing the whine, jeonghan pulls away from the kiss momentarily, leaving you dazed and with a stupid smile on your face. “what’s wrong, puppy?” he asks jisung, a shit eating smirk spreading across his beautiful face, his evil expression heavily juxtaposing with his delicate, angelic features. “see something you like?”

humiliated but also extremely turned on, there’s not much else jisung can do besides nod miserably, his cheeks flushing bright red from jeonghan’s taunting.

“say what you want, use your words,” jeonghan croons, as he leans down to run his hot tongue along your neck, making you moan loudly and cling to him as he runs the wet muscle down your collarbone, to the valley between your breasts. jisung’s breath hitches as he watches jeonghan’s movements, so badly wishing he were there with his face stuffed into your cleavage instead of him. or better yet, if his face were wedged in there alongside jeonghan’s.

“w-wanna kiss them…” jisung murmurs under his breath, his gaze flickering up to meet yours, his blush deepening further at the grin that splays itself across your face upon hearing this.

you look up to jeonghan, who nods slightly at you, giving you permission. you climb out of his lap and reach out to jisung, pulling him closer to the two of you. he’s so petite, and so cute too—with big dark sparkling eyes that are sparkling in the warm light of the bedroom and round cheeks that you can’t help but pinch teasingly, making him whine and pull away slightly. you know that isn’t what he wants.

so you give him what he does want—a kiss. your lips mold to his as you kiss him deeply, and after a few moments of stunned stillness, he kisses you back.

the way that jisung kisses is very different from jeonghan; jisung is almost rushed, so overwhelmed by the excitement that he can’t help but speed things along. his tongue licks along your bottom lip eagerly, and who are you to deny him entry?

he moans loudly into the kiss, something that jeonghan doesn’t do—not that he’s silent, though, he’s far from it—and reaches down to cup your tits in his hands, his touch gentle and hesitant at first, but over-eager and rough as soon as he realizes you’re giving him permission to continue.

with a teasing nibble on his lower lip, you momentarily pull away from the kiss to push jisung down onto his back, so that he’s laying flat on the mattress as you hover over him. his eyes widen at your sudden dominance, and you can’t help but give him a cheeky grin before kissing him once more.

meanwhile, jeonghan has grown impatient of simply sitting back and watching. as you hover over jisung, propped up on all fours, jeonghan slowly snakes his hands up your legs until he reaches the clasp of your skirt, undoing it with ease and sliding it down your legs along with your panties. you gasp, both from your sudden nudity and from the feeling of jeonghan’s ice cold fingertips grazing against your skin.

his cold fingers reach up to spread your pussy lips apart, and he groans lightly as your wetness coats his fingers—it’s exactly what he wants to see. he leans forward to press a sloppy kiss to your cunt, making you moan into the kiss with jisung, who’s very curious about the cause of your moans but enjoying the kiss too much to pull away prematurely just to find out.

jeonghan starts to lick at your pussy, his hot tongue flattened as he laps at your clit. his tongue darts further up every so often to catch your juices and taste you as his hands grab your ass cheeks to grant himself easier access to your dripping core. the pleasure starts off as low and dull, simply simmering within you, until jeonghan starts to speed up his tongue, pressing harder against your sensitive clit and licking deeper into your tight hole. you cling to jisung, whimpering against his lips as your orgasm overtakes you and jeonghan quickly moves to lap up your release, groaning as he buries his face in your cunt one last time before pulling away and licking his lips.

jeonghan roughly pulls you back towards him, ending your kiss with jisung. he starts to push down his pants and boxer briefs in one go as he kneels behind you, his gaze flickering between you and jisung. you’re both a sight to see—you, with your wetness dripping down your bare thighs, your pussy on display for him to see, and jisung with his achingly hard, neglected cock and the embarrassing amount of precum that’s leaked from his tip, staining the light material of his gray sweatpants.

he reaches down to yank on your hair, forcing you to look up at jisung. you’re still on all fours, your limbs starting to shake a little from holding the position for so long.

jisung’s face is bewildered as jeonghan roughly tugs on your hair, eliciting a moan from between your lips. “suck his cock, baby doll,” he coos at you, letting go of your hair and gently pushing your head back down, in the right direction. “and, you, puppy,” he says sharply, turning his attention to jisung, who jumps as jeonghan speaks to him. “enjoy it,” is all jeonghan says, chuckling darkly as he strokes his own cock a few times before slicking his tip against your soaked entrance.

he wastes no more time, thrusting into your tight warmth and sheathing his entire length inside you in one go. you can’t help but let out a breathy moan, burying your face in jisung’s crotch and making him whimper in anticipation as you mouth his cock over his pants. the feeling of jeonghan’s cock stretching out your tight cunt, pressing deep inside of you, makes it hard to focus on anything else, at least not fully. you lap at jisung’s cock over his pants half-heartedly, your mind still elsewhere—with jeonghan, as he fucks you like it’s the last time he’ll ever do so.

however, it’s not good enough for jeonghan, who wants more of a show. he narrows his eyes at the boring sight before him, and he smacks your ass roughly, making you cry out. It’s a clear sign that tells you to do better—to go further, and do more.

so you do—you quickly pull down jisung’s sweats and boxer briefs, pleasantly surprised at what you’re working with. his cock is pretty; flushed at the tip and profusely leaking precum, with a thick vein running along the underside of it—perfect for you to run your tongue along teasingly. you manage a smug grin despite the rough fucking that jeonghan is giving you, his grip tight on your hips as he pulls your body against his, his cock thrusting deep into your cunt.

licking along the thick vein on the underside of his cock, you let out a soft moan, looking up at jisung through heavily lidded eyes. This clearly has an effect on him, as the poor boy flushes scarlet once again and reaches down with a shaky hand to gently get a grip on your hair. you take this as an incentive to go deeper, to take him deeper. his cock is heavy on your tongue as it slips further into your mouth, his tip now prodding at the back of your throat and making his eyes roll back in his head. the combined stimulation of your lips wrapped so tightly around his length and the feeling of your tight throat squeezing him so perfectly—it’s no wonder he felt like he was about to cum right there and then, even though you hardly did anything.

meanwhile, jeonghan is still pounding away into your pussy, his breath escaping him in rough pants and groans as his nails dig into your skin. he bites his lower lip, his teeth digging into the plush skin, trying to stifle the moans as they threaten to grow louder. the feeling of your pussy wrapped around his cock is simply too much for him to take, despite all of the shit he likes to talk about his endurance.

“gonna cum, gonna fill you up, baby,” he groans loudly, the sound of skin against skin echoing around the bedroom as his thrusts grow sloppier, more erratic. both you and jisung can tell that he’s nearly there, all he needs is one last thing to push him over the edge—

and then jisung is cumming down your throat, his orgasm triggered by the look of pure ecstasy on jeonghan’s face paired with the feeling of his cock lodged deep in your throat as you tongued his tight balls. you can feel the warmth of jeonghan’s load spilling from your pussy, dripping down your thighs as you swallow jisung’s, looking up at the younger man dreamily. he looks back at you with a similar look, the both of you still nearly in disbelief about what just happened.

the only one that seems to still be sane is jeonghan. he pulls out of you, chuckling with a groan as his cum drips from your swollen pussy. he then looks up at jisung, who’s still panting slightly from his own orgasm, his cock softening against his thigh, but not for long as jeonghan reaches forward to unclip your bra and remove the remains of your torn blouse.

“are you ready for another round? i’ll let you have their pussy this time, puppy,” he says, his voice light and teasing—and absolutely irresistible to both you and jisung, as you both nod excitedly, moving closer to him.
