#tagging guide

[sunriseabram]

Please reblog to spread to those who need it! Specified for the AFTG fandom, but can apply to all fandoms.

[izzyfishie]

a lot of you in this fandom need to learn how to tag your posts accordingly.

i'm so tired of looking through my ships or characters, only to see completely unrelated content. i'm sure others are, too!

if a character is mentioned in the post, or it has ship connotations? tag!

if it's a popular character/ship that has nothing to do with the post (ex: tagging hyunmi on a non-related hyun-ju post, or tagging sangihun on an x reader fanfic), omit the tag!

if the post is hate in any way, omit the tag (unless it is positive discourse)!

i promise you, tagging more tags will not do much for you. it will merely just get people annoyed.

[mpc07-foundtheinternet]

Hey guys, tagging stuff as "thing cw" isn't all that great anymore. I did some testing and the tag filtering doesn't seem to filter it unless you have the exact same characters. If this is happening due to an outdated version on my end, it's still not a great sign considering I came here long after the posts that mentioned "thing" would be enough to filter "thing cw" started circulating. So it's either fickle or no longer works like that.

But also...! If you write the word in the post, someone who has mentions of that word filtered will have the post filtered successfully

So I'd recommend you start tagging things with the most basic word anyone would use to describe the thing and drop the adjectives. Don't tag "slight thing" or use aesthetic brackets on the tag it will not get filtered and puts the burden on the person who needs these things filtered to enter every possible tag for it. Please just tag the word. And to be safe writing that word on the post will also help, since when someone else reblogs that post, the filtering tags won't work unless they add them again on their end, and it's not guaranteed they'll do it.

Tagging system:

#TheMiracleEye

Any articles written following the creation of our blog will be reposted here.

#PokemonIrlNews

General tag for any well-sourced news article we find on this site. We like to support our fellow journalists.

#Not news

Self-explanatory. You may use this tag for filtering out discussions that don't relate to any current article.

Previous Cases:

#february28th

Everything related to our work on the incident of February 28th can be found here.

// OOC tagging

Some tags are diagetic, some aren't. As of now this is one of the non-diagetic tags:

#bookmark

^ this one means my blorbo bingus read your post and keeps note of it, but it's an ooc tag. If they want you to know they're reading what you're saying, they'll just tell you directly.

[vulpecular-draconic]

howdy! this is my side blog where i ramble about my experiences being alterhuman. i don't feel comfortable linking my main blog yet, but i may sometime in the future. on this blog, you can call me vuldra. i'm genderfluid and i'll update my pronouns in my bio when they change.

i am a psychological alterhuman – i am alterhuman due to being neurodivergent. i tend to have pretty strong phantom limbs, and about average species dysphoria (although i don't believe those are necessary to be nonhuman).

i always feel like all of my kintypes to some degree, but how much fluctuates in intensity. being a pearl fox takes the stage most often, although bat-eared fox was the first one i awakened to. i call myself a fox more often than my other kintypes.

i often get mashup shifts, where i have phantom limbs and sometimes impulses/mentalities from several different creatures at the same time. the phantom limbs/etc are usually frakensteined together from my already known kintypes, but they can also include cameo shifts.

the summer of 2023 (june or july) is when i awakened. i've figured out a lot since then, but i'm always learning about myself, so i'll update/rephrase this post every once in a while.

theriotypes

— red fox [vulpes vulpes]. specifically, the pearl fox color morph. this is connected to my fae/changeling kintype.

— bat-eared fox [otocyon megalotis]. this is not connected to any other kintype in particular.

— maned wolf [chrysocyon brachyurus]. this is connected to my cryptid kintype. i’m technically still uncertain if this is a theriotype vs a hearttype, but for now, theriotype fits best.

usually when i get fox shifts (for both species), i feel like an anthropomorphic fox. not quite like the way most modern furries are drawn – more along the lines of how an anthro fox in an old storybook would be drawn. i like having anthro shifts better, because it's less dysphoric than when i'm an all-fours fox. anthro maned wolf shifts don’t happen as often.

otherkin types

— fae/changeling. this kintype is similar to cryptid, in that i don’t really have a set appearance — no “true form” — but it is linked to my pearl fox kintype. i often naturally imagine my fae self with pearl fox features, or as an anthro pearl fox. being a pearl fox also can lead me to feel more fae-ish. fae and changeling itself are slightly different experiences. average changeling days, i just feel like myself. i consider it my “base” species, even though i didn’t discover it first. on fae days i’m usually more mentally shifted than is typical, and i’m constantly thinking about and wishing i could do fae things (tricking a human with magic, etc).

— cryptid. i don’t have any specific appearance as a cryptid. mashup shifts often co-occur with cryptid shifts. but i do have a couple of forms that are common: a shadowy being (something that was actually an accidental otherlink), maned wolf and maned-wolf-like forms, and various mashups of the two. i’m also more likely to get phantom antlers when i’m a cryptid, and vice versa, i feel more cryptid when i get phantom antlers. sometimes i feel like not having much of a physical form at all. hiding is my main cryptid instinct — i do not wish to be perceived, and if i do, in a way that would scare people.

– pocket dragon. i'm only about six or seven inches long from head to tail. my scales are blue with mottled silver, layered over atop each other, and most are that classic rounded triangular shape. my mouth is sharp and has no teeth. sometimes my tail has a feather-like fan of scales on the end, sometimes it doesn’t. when i get pocket dragon shifts, i feel the urge to scurry up trees, hide in tiny nooks, stop speaking, and eat berries and beetles.

— dragon [not pocket-sized]. this species is bigger and more sapient than my pocket dragon species. i’m still trying to figure it out. it looks similar to my pocket dragon species, but not quite the same.

hearttypes, hearthomes, confusion, and more!

— avian-person. i don’t know if this is a kintype, hearttype, reoccurring cameo shift, or something else. whatever it is, it’s part of my identity. …sort of. (i do often forget it exists when i’m listing out my ‘types, even though these phantom limbs tend to be stronger than my others.) i get bird-like phantom wings and a long feathered tail with a fan at the end, similar to the fan on my pocket dragon tail. my feathers (wings and tail) are grey with a smattering of darker grey speckles, and some feathers have shimmery blue on the edges. occasionally i also get digitigrade legs; sometimes more mammal-like, sometimes more bird-like. i often also feel bird-like scales on my forearms and talons on my fingers. other than that, i have no mental shifts and my body is human-like. — cecil palmer [from the welcome to night vale podcast]. hearttype. he gives me extreme gender envy, but it’s deeper than that in a way that’s difficult to explain. i want to be him very badly (or at even just take on a similar role). but i am not him, unfortunately.

— tangled / tangled the series [world]. hearthome. it gives me a sense of longing and nostalgia like nothing else.

tagging guide

disclaimers:

some of these words have different or more broad meanings than the way i will be using them for sorting — just know that i’m aware of that.

if i want the post to reach a wider audience than it would reach with sorting tags alone, i might add more than just what’s needed for sorting.

if a creature says they don't like to be called a certain label, i’ll try to avoid tagging my reblogs of their posts with that label (a rule that is most applicable on posts talking about personal experiences). but sometimes i’ll miss something. if i make that mistake, don’t hesitate to tell me!

# i say some stuff — posts where the op is myself, or where i reblog something and add my own thoughts.

# tags in which i ramble — for posts that are not my own, but where i add enough in the tags that i consider it worth knowing about.

# not my post — posts made by others that i reblog without adding anything to the discussion.

# therian — posts regarding earthly animal kintypes and therianthropy specifically.

# otherkin — posts regarding mythical/magical nonhumanity and otherkinity specifically.

# nonhuman — blanket tag for posts about therianthropy and otherkinity, as well as posts about nonhumanity. (aka, if you wanted to scroll thru my therian and otherkin posts at the same time with some extra posts about nonhumanity, you’d choose the nonhuman tag.)

# alterhuman — posts regarding forms of alterhumanity other than nonhumanity/therianthropy/otherkinity (ie, kithtypes, archetropes, fictionflickers, etc) and posts regarding the nature of the word itself.

# otherhearted — self explanatory. i will mainly use this term instead of the other variants (animalhearted, otherkith, etc).

# critter experiences — posts containing the personal experiences of any who fit under the alterhuman umbrella, both my own and others’. (alterhuman as in the real meaning, not the meaning as i’m using it for sorting up above.)

# critter origins — umbrella tag for posts regarding theories and beliefs on why folks are nonhuman, whether psychological, spiritual, other, or both. related tags would be #psychological critter and #spiritual critter. if the belief is a combo of the two, all three tags will be used, and if it’s neither, just the main one.

# critter questions and/or questioning — for posts where the poster is questioning aspects of their alterhumanity or has questions about alterhumanity, and posts that would help those who are questioning.

# critter info — posts about animal behavior, welfare, environmental stuff, or legends/myths/lore.

# critter community — any posts concerning the alterhuman community, both on history and modern-day phenomena. will sometimes overlap with the following tag:

# term discussion / term coining / term definition — a three-in-one tag that is probably self explanatory.

# critter shifts — umbrella tag for shifts of all types. since i have phantom and mental shifts most often, most posts will probably be about those. 

# critter creativity — moodboards, memes, stimboards, ID packs, joke posts(?), poems, short stories, art, comics, masks, tails, etc.

# critter polls — umbrella tag for polls.

# critter ask game — umbrella tag for ask games (questions and answers).

# humanity — stuff about humans, humanity as a concept, or alterhumans’ relationships with humanity.

# [__] kintype # [__]kin — format for posts relevant to specific kintypes. first one will be for ‘types with two or more words, and second for types that are just one word. (because bat-eared foxkin looks clunky, but bat-eared fox kintype doesn’t. at least not to me.) some you will see frequently on my blog include: bat-eared fox kintype, pearl fox kintype, foxkin, pocket dragon kintype, dragonkin, cryptidkin, faekin. 

# [__] hearttype # [__]hearted — same premise as above, but for otherhearted stuff.

# miscellaneous — self explanatory.

Tagging Guide

Searching for or trying to block certain headcanons?

To tag all possible spoilers, i use #hfth spoilers

To tag season-specific spoilers, i use #hfth s1, #hfth s2, #hfth s3, and #hfth s4

Trigger warnings are tagged with #tw [trigger]

Reblogged or posted art is tagged with #art

Headcanons posted by the mod receive #our headcanons

Asks that do not qualify under the regular headcanon tags receive #indescribable

And, finally, by common courtesy, any characters mentioned/alluded to in the asks or art are tagged. Ships are also tagged accordingly.

(ID in alt and under cut)

ID: 1. Waist up of Nandor from season 6 episode 9 on a mottled green background. He has his hands on his hips and is ginning nervously, shouting, "Your rejection can't hurt me because I wasn't paying attention!"

2. Busts of Guillermo and Nadja from season 6 episode 9 both spattered with blood. Guillermo is on a dark background and staring into the middle distance with crazy eyes, a barely there smile on his face. Nadja is on a pink background and smiling adorably, looking sated and content. Text points to them both and says "killing and maiming is enrichment".

3. Shot from inside Guillermo's shed, Guillermo in profile in the foreground tying at his laptop. He looks up as, in the background, Nandor opens the door and peeks his head in, eyes large and shiny and weeping. He says, in the form of a tweet from sadderlizards, "bro can you come over i miss the way you smell."

4. Jerry sitting at a table, the Guide standing at his side and leaning her hands on the table heavily, head dipped toward him. With wide eyes and a slightly crazed grin, she flirts, in the form of a tumblr post from @muzzlekiss, "if you put your hand on my throat you can watch my brain kick down several gears like a prey animal that knows it's done running."

5a. Waist up of Guillermo on a greenish background, holding a walkie talkie in one hand and pinching the bridge of his nose with the other. Looking sick, he says, in the form of a tweet from alolaneggs, "Guy who doesn't respect the walkie talkie rules: Ugh I'm so hungover." 5b. Chest up of Laszlo sitting at a table with a bluish background, one hand holding up a walkie talkie and the other tapping at the table surface. He grins salaciously at the walkie talkie and replies with the rest of the tweet, "Guy who does: Really? [eyes emoji] Over." /end ID

[ludowoods]

so i recently tried to hack my ps2 and after everything i can say it's like, technically easy but the documentation is a godless wasteland compared to n*ntendo systems. one of the major forums has IP banned like half the world including me before i even visited it and most of the text guides are outdated but the more recent ones are 💀 video guides (also frequently outdated)

anyway so my friend and i decided to try to make a couple 3ds.hacks.guide style guides for the ps2. if you have a fat ps2 you can use the internal hdd guide and if you have a slim ps2 you can use the ESR disc method
