#tumblr is kinda the only way i've to share my art too so I'm very sorry

They were a child of the Death, after all. No matter how much their older brother would like to soften with words, pretend not to see Tobirama’s fascination with the forbidden, with the macabre. In how the darkness always curled onto them, the evil stung around, and the graveyard yearned for their touch. They were born into it, after all. Oh, and how sweet the power is, alive, running through their blow-out veins like water, eager to bend accordingly with their wills. Madara’s sharigan bleed onto the darkness, like a life-saver guide. The only light holding Tobirama back from falling into the abyss of calamity. "I will not hurt you, Kagami." Tobirama’s lips curled onto a sharp form. “Not if you don’t ask me to, my beloved heir.” Kagami always asked for the things he wanted so nicely, after all.

[leidensygdom]

well @voidsteeth has given me the power to ramble a bit more. PLEASE ignore the cat in that picture, for some goddamn reason it's the only way tumblr let me post this goddamn picture. it's a nice kitty, mind you

Up above, some really loose logo/main pic ideas for it! Excuse my terrible handwriting. Let me do it bullet-point format since it helps my adhd pin down stuff

So, it's gonna be a RPG. I wanna figure some fun gimmick and I surprisingly have a bunch of that well fleshed out! (Part of it revolving the elemental system, concerning Flesh/Memory/Mind/Matter/Soul). I'm not a huge fan of the repetitive encounter "smash everything in front of you" format. I'm going to be using RPG Maker MZ. My partner has a lot of experience with that, which should help a lot!

Inspired by a bit of a mix of classic JRPGs and more recent indie RPGs, specially Rpg Maker stuff. I've been raised watching my dad play the old Final Fantasy games (which I love dearly, specially IX, X and VII), but I've ended up loving the more recent indie scene myself (OFF, Oneshot, Undertale/Deltarune, Everhood)

(I'm gonna be playing more RPG Maker games to help with inspiration and knowing how much I can bend the system- Please feel free to recommend me some!)

Set in a sort of high fantasy setting, and it takes a bunch of stuff from the one I run my current DnD campaign in. I think it will feel familiar to DnD/PF players, but I'm going all in with my own worldbuilding! I wanna set myself apart from these.

I want to have a sort of in-game illustrated encyclopedia because I really dig that. I liked the way OFF used images here and there to add to the lore. I just love the idea of being able to collect pages and learn more on the way. I've sketched the ones for the elements already!

Themes will spin around friendship and human connection, eldritch horror flavoured stuff, and some temporal shenanigans too. It will also tackle on the importance of understanding the past- The story will put some focus on how people are too busy pillaging a ruined city to understand what actually destroyed it in the first place. Which, well, it's the kinda thing to have consequences.

I'm planning to work on this on my free time, and once it has a nice shape (and perhaps a playable demo), I may consider having a Kickstarter to complete it. I'm fairly confident I can handle (with enough time) most of the parts of it. I just need to get a bit familiar with pixel art (for the maps). I used to do that ages ago! I'm also familiar enough with programming and have done small web-games in the past.

The one thing I am absolutely not qualified enough for is music. I wanna try honing my skills but- Oh boy. (on that note, if you know of small musicians that are open for commissions, do let me know! Just as a very preliminary view)

also you can bet this is gonna be really LGBTQ+ themed. I wanna also take the chance to maybe sprinkle in some of my heritage's stuff, I've wanted to do that for ages!

I'm of course always open for specific questions about this. I'm really excited to work on it and help my mental health on the way. I'll do my best to share some concept art, mock ups and such as I get it more fleshed out! I have some enemies pinned down and I think people will really enjoy these designs : )

[its-paperd]

hey everyone, i got some very important news, specifically on what's to happen to this blog soon!

please take your small time to read, as it is kinda important to me ^^

hello, hello!! it's me, tumblr user its-paperd, coming to you live with an important announcement!!

to put it very very simply, my entire blog will be on a VERY long hiatus, much longer than my usual 5 to 7 days kind

reason behind this is kind of personal, but it does kind of relating to school and grades. to put it simply, my grades haven't been going well and i admit, i have been getting addicted to this app a bit. too much hahah ^^"

now here's the thing, while i say it'll be a hiatus here, there would be a possibility of my blogs... getting deleted.

now don't panic!! i'm not exactly sure if it would happen but it might be a possiblity, so while my blog is still here, if there's anything you want to archive from my blog, it's best to take action and reblog some as soon as you can

get some of my spices, as you will kekek /silly

' oh, but paperd, you're taking this so well, don't you care about us? '

i do!! from the bottom of my heart, i do. it's just that it has been a long time coming, and it was inevitable that it would happen so i mentally prepared myself before i can give a proper goodbye ^^

with all of this happening, i can only think of parting words before i go radio silent

now things are gonna get sappy for me, kekeke <x'D

( moots i'm so sorry you have to learn about this this way <x| )

[yumedoca]

And UY's third cour's final PV dropped.... which means it's time for me to share my thoughts!!

(And as usual. Ignore the shitty quality of the screenshots)

First up, I have to mention the fact that MAISONdes is doing the OP and ED again!! The new OP is 'Rock On*' feat. Hashimero, Meguru and the new ED is 'Raizakura' feat. 9Lana, SAKURAmoti. Here are the gorgeous album cover arts for both songs and oh my gosh, they are so precious!!

*It might either be 'Lock on' since the Japanese pronunciation for 'L' and 'R' sounds the same.

(Edit: Seems like it is 'Lock on' after all!!)

As for my thoughts on the songs themselves, so far they sound great, but to form a proper opinion I need to hear the whole thing as well as see how it pairs with the visuals.

Now to the actual PV itself.. (Attention: Spoilers!!)

First up, as expected, there's a lot of new footage shown. Many of them are from the episodes shown in the previous PV which I've already discussed (go read it if you haven't, since this is technically a part 2) so I'm not going to talk about any episode shown previously unless it's new or specifically worth mentioning..

First, I want to talk about the adaptation of the hilariously deceptive 'Lum becomes a cow' chapter. Let's be honest, this is hands down the funniest AtaLum chapter of all time and it looks like the remake is making the AtaLum moments in this one extra dramatic (they even added rain for more effect!) just so the final payoff would hit us in the most hilarious way possible (unless those bits are from something else but I doubt it). AtaLum enjoyers (me included) are being really well fed this cour, huh?

I don't know where these and a few others come from (please tell me if you know!!). I'm guessing the fourth one might be from the chapter about Ryu's mom since it was already confirmed previously and the montage looks like a flashback with lot of beach vibes but I might be wrong. The Kotatsu Neko one might come from the Kitsune (fox) chapter with the photo and camera since I remember a similar scene which looks like that shot, but again I might be wrong. There are a few other scenes as well (Onsen-mark getting hit, Ten hanging from a tree and such). Maybe they're anime original scenes? Who knows, but we'll know sooner enough...

That's really all I have to say anything new about the PV, everything else are chapters I've already pointed out. That aside I do have to give props to how absolutely gorgeous everything looks as well as the fluid animation. The above shot of Lum and Ten sleeping is so pretty!! There are others but there's too many to count and it's obvious which all they are. I also like how Inaba's bunny realm looks and I'm also in love with AtaLum's outfit colorings for their 'date' in the electric jungle arc, they're kinda caramel coded!! Speaking of AtaLum, the PV also showed a lot of their key moments which surprised me since I though they'd keep those a secret till the episode airs, but to be fair, it's only bits and it did end up making the PV a bit emotional.. :')

(I had space for one more image till I hit Tumblr's limit so here, have an Inaba coming out of a trash can. He looks so proud of himself XD)

Anyways, that's all for now. This cour seems to be very AtaLum focused, to the point where the OP and ED album cover arts have both Lum and Ataru in it!! But it still has other fun storylines as well and I'm excited for all the episodes, may it be big or small. There's one week left and we'll probably get next weeks episode titles on Tuesday (as how it always is). One more week, here we go!!!

[amethystfairy1]

hi again. i did end up posting some of my art but idk if there's a way to link it in the ask (kinda new to tumblr lol), so im just gonna trust that you know how to find it. Anyways, I have more questions for you :)

jumping into the deep end w/ traveling thieves:

is there any way to remove a collar without the owner's permission? Could a non-collared person do it? Are they physically destructible? What happens if the owner dies? Basically anything that could free Jimmy and Scott T-T

Can any nether-born wield fire, or just blaze-borns? bc hypothetically, we could get some team ZIT going if impulse is a nether-born (he's normally head cannoned as a demon, but I like the idea of wither skeleton instead for this au, if you don't already have plans for him). he could join Zed and Tango :)))

how does the siren song work? can you get anyone to do anything with it if you were good enough? considering song is in the name, is it more effective if it's more melodic?

how do the rune trigger thingies work? Does the staff need to be continuously touching the person to trigger the collar, or does it have a time limit, or is it a secret third option? (this is for a lil piece i've written that I may or may not post lol)

That's it for now, although I do want to say that it would be adorable if Katherine got Shelby a sun-lamp so she could grow over-city plants down there :3

actually that's not it. it'd be fun if you wrote a piece where Grian helps Mumbo and Scar pull a (not so ethical) job. just an idea :)

ok goodbye

Hello hello!

I found the art! I reblogged the art! I LOVE THE ART!

I said it in my reblog but again here they are SO PRETTY I love Cute Guy his wings are beautiful and his shoes are so KILLER and then the SWAGON from Traveling Thieves! It's even got Grian's lil bay window! It makes me so happy! I will treasure them, thank you so much for sharing!

Questions questions! 🏃‍♀️

Short answer: No. Long Answer: Not any way that Scott or Jimmy currently have access too. If their current owner dies the contract has a clause that will automatically transfer them to whoever said owner designated as the inheritor, this being a built in safety measure to ensure enslaved hybrids don't try to one-hit kill their masters before a punishment can kick in to go free. They are technically physically destructible but any attempt at cutting them or unlatching them will trigger the punishment runes. And they are very tough, reinforced by the magic in the runes, again to ensure this isn't attempted, so it would be far to painful to attempt to just endure the punishment long enough to cut them off. This doesn't mean it's completely impossible for them to get them off without their current masters permission...but we haven't gotten to that yet. 😉

Blaze-borns specifically can wield fire as physical parts of their body, but other nether hybrids are able to pull similar tricks such as heating up their hands to work metal, and obviously they're fireproof. Plus, considering our lovely dark fantasy AU, some of them have proficiency with fire magic! I do have plans for Impulse in Traveling Thieves! Please look forward to it!

It's basically voice-based charm magic. I may have messed this up, but I'm pretty sure I only ever refer to it as 'siren spells' and not 'siren songs'? Is there anywhere I screwed that up? Siren spells also give the user the ability to make their voice more pleasant and tend to have good singing voices anyway. If someone is extremely good with it (ex: Scott's Dad) they could 100% use it to strongly compel others, but it's not like brainwashing. Like when Scott used it, all it really did was make the ice mage suddenly care about his opinion, and that confused her enough that she hesitated on using magic. It still has to be something understandable. It wouldn't have been enough to, say, get her to fire a spell at her companion and kill him. It's more like it makes the users words much more influential in the mind of whoever is hearing it. It can also do other things, though! Like how I mention that Scott's Dad would sing for the Queen, Scott's Mom, to help her relax, that's not just because he's a beautiful singer (which of course he is) he's also using siren spells to lower her stress.

One hit triggers the punishment runes. A second hit makes them stop. Like an on-off switch! They also specifically have to get hit with the gem at the end of the rune trigger. If you do post anything anywhere please do send another ask/post it somewhere I can see, I'd absolutely love to see what you do with the AU! ☺️

Awwww...Katherine could totally get Shelby a sun-lamp, that'd be so cute! Also I totally plan on writing a piece at some point where the Swagon Trio steal something, it's a series called Traveling THIEVES and there has been a distinct lack of thievery so I need to fix that. 😤

Thanks so much for all your lovely questions, and thank you again for sharing your beautiful art! 💖

A hot take on tarot and tarot readings🌚🌝

DO NOT 🚫 PLAGIARISE MY WORK. IF YOU WANT TO REPOST IT GIVE ME THE CREDITS💌🧿

Hey you guys❤️ it's been a long time since I've posted on here. I had a lot going on and i have so much to share with you guys. I'm officially a clg student and I've been trying to figure out how this clg stuff works and i can safely say, I've figured out enough at this point. I will be becoming more regular now onwards by posting at least once a week so that you guys don't feel like you're following a dead account. I will admit I've been active on Tumblr but didn't post as I felt very disconnected with astrology and tarot. I felt like i didn't wanna do it because I had a lot of things going on and was trying to figure my self out but came to a realisation about my inclination towards spirituality and the reason why I created this account. Thankyou all for being by my side and still viewing my content, engaging with me and following. I'm eternally grateful for it and wish to repay you all back by bringing life to this account🧿🫀🤍🙏

Soooooooooo, let's start off with something that may rub ppl the wrong way but😘

So I started getting into tarot a while ago and have been following and engaging liking and all alot of tarot pages on this app, which i will say are very good. Like alot of the readers on here are very good🧿 and not just here but also on YouTube.

All of these opinions are my own thoughts and observations and NOT a fact so 🌼

🌺 i feel like a lot of ppl who turn to tarot readings do not accept what the readers say because they don't want to hear anything other than their expected thoughts.

🌺 Alot of the tarot accounts on YouTube and Twitter tend to sugar coat what the cards are saying. In the sense, that they will somehow manage to manipulate even the most straightforward reading to cater to the audience instead of being upright with it. Like the cards will say one thing and the reader will either completely change the meaning of it or try to manipulate the meaning. Nowwwww, ik alot of yall will say that sometimes the intuition is just different than the meaning and i agree but I'm talking abt the ones who straight up manipulate tarot for views and engagement and such ppl are clowns who should stop this kinda nonsense for their 2 min fame and learn how to be honest.

🌺 Now, you see, there's a reason all these tarot readers on this plateform tend to tell you to use your discernment and get in touch with your intuition and it's because spirituality today, is not limited to only a certain group. Anyone can get into tarot and astrology but not everyone is spritual and give 2 stones about its art and essence. These ppl will try to manipulate the fuck out of you so that you either stop using your intuition and discernment orrrrr start trusting them too much to a point where you rely on them energetically, if you know what I mean.

🌺 You should take tarot and astrology with a grain of salt. Remember, nothing is set in stone. It always changes and that is the beauty of it. Speaking from personal experience, it is very easy to get addicted to tarot readings. I remember, i started off with one video and then got hooked to it and stopped using my own discernment. Now, i tend to use my discernment and remember that at the end of the day, the power lies in my hands.

🌺 Continuous use of tarot readings will make out of touch with reality and your own intuition. I remember i used to feel very mindless after consuming alot of tarot readings and thay was because I was living in my own dillusion that got created because of excessive tarot readings. So go for tarot readings but don't become chronically dependant on it.

🌺 it is fine if you don't agree with a reading but do not go around disrespecting the readers who are genuinely doing it for you and put actual effort into their content.

THANKYOU Y'ALL FOR MAKING IT TO THE END OF THIS POST. ILYSM YOU GUYS SO MUCHHH🧿🫀❤️

[bjarkanart]

I don't know if anyone will see this or even care and since I'm awkward as shit, I thought I'd do it here so here we go.

I've been having a blast with Tumblr, you have no idea. Kinda come from Instagram cause I can't stand the very limited visibility I get there, like, IG has really turned to shit and I know I'm not the only one who thinks that. Now that might just be me not being great at social media, maybe I ramble too much on my posts there and people don't give a shit (I mean, who reads artists' thoughts nowadays right?), maybe I don't post enough (I definitely don't post enough but life keeps getting in the way at the moment so there's that) but anyway!

I just really wanted to thank whoever sees this post and saw my latest fan art. It's honestly mind-blowing to me how responsive and supportive people are here and my only regret is not using Tumblr sooner (I kinda tried twice a few years back but I couldn't figure out how it worked). I'm lucky if I get more than 15 likes on IG but the response I get here is insane and I love seeing the unhinged crap some of y'all add when you reblog my art, it makes my day, makes me smile and laugh and it makes me want to draw and share more of my art.

I'm going through some shitty stuff lately and seeing my art reach so many people and the response it gets has really been helping me keep it together.

That's it. That's the post. It's not much and it's a bit sappy and messy but I just wanted to get this out of my chest cause man, I keep a lot of things to myself and it's exhausting.

So yeah.

Thank you.

[kittenofdoomage]

This may be an odd ask, and maybe you've answered before, but, well...

I really admire your talent at writing, and I especially admire your ability to put your writing out into the public eye for everybody to read. How do you do that?

I struggle so much with wanting to put my own stories and art out there, fanfic or otherwise, because I worry about what people will think, or how they'll feel about my stories and drawings. Do you ever have that problem? If you do, do you have any advice on how to just...get over that worry?

If you don't answer this, that's totally okay. I just really enjoy your stories and am envious of your overall demeanor/attitude when it comes to writing. I generally get a very "this is my story, if you like it that's great, if not who cares" kinda vibe from you, in the best way, and I wish I could find a way to be like that.

...sorry, rambling. 🤐

It's not an easy thing to do, that's for sure, and over the years, I've had to learn not to react to those who can't just scroll on by with certain things. Putting yourself out there is hella scary, and even after literally decades of writing, I still get nervous when I'm posting a new story. Of course, that's only natural; to me, my stories are pieces of me, the worlds I've built in my head, the scenes I've replayed at 3am when I can't sleep. Fanfiction, storytelling in general, and any kind of art/creation, it's a very personal thing, and there is always a risk (esp. with certain subject matters) that someone won't like it and might say something, at which point, the block and/or delete comment functions are very much your friend. You have to focus on the good that your creations create, like that little oneshot you wrote might have made someone smile today when they might not have otherwise, or the sketch you weren't entirely happy with might make someone go "wow, I wish I could create like that" (I do this frequently with artists because I can barely draw a circle and I've seen renaissance masterpieces of the Winchester Brothers).

I started small. My first fanfictions were in lined exercise books, passed around my friends in Year 8. And at the risk of aging myself, I didn't find actual fandom, and didn't post on here, until 2014. If you have friends you're confident to share your work with, ask them to read it first (I do this a lot 🤣). There are a lot of groups on Tumblr that can give you friendly sounding boards and helpful resources too, like the @fanficocean.

The most important thing I can say is don't stop writing the stories or drawing/painting the scenes you want to see. Even if you don't share it today, or tomorrow, or ever, don't let that stop you creating.

(Now I'm rambling)

Have a great day, Anon ❤❤❤

[ibbys-dump]

twitter sucks, so I'm mainly posting on here now, mind joining in?

heyoo! it's been a while since I've been on here but I think I'd like to start somethign new :)

if you don't mind, could I take ~20 minutes of your time (maybe less if you get the gist of it and scroll)? it'd mean a lot ♥

twitter...

twitter is a GREAT app!

before, this account used to just be reposting art and spamming random thoughts like it's twitter, but I've learnt since then that this isn't twitter at all. twitter has some great stuff, I get to talk to friends, find more through mutuals, share and reblog art, and become more immersed in the communities I love! that's great to me, but it resulted in me being stuck with it... and I mean stuck.

twitter is the ONLY app I can use!!

I've tried to leave the app several times, but the thing is all my friends are on it, so I have to use it to talk to and stay updated on my friends. I barely tried a discord server, but starting conversations really aren't easy when there's nothing to talk about. the thing with twitter is that it lets you be updated on what your friends are doing, so you can chime in and talk about whatever, it's a cute ecosystem that messaging apps and stuff like reddit struggle to maintain (reddit posts and replies are messy but I can't pin on why lol, just take my word for it [also who has a private subreddit lol]). BASICALLY twitter is too good to leave.

twitter kinda really sucks...

now you may ask why I'd want to leave the ideal app? well, twitter DOES have its problems and I think many are aware of it. it has a practically unmoderated void of the timeline that you can't help but check out to find new people, but you just get an unrelated mess of people posting 7 word phrases for interactions from randoms and it becomes an addicting cycle to scroll. just checking the app after being logged out awhile resulted in 20-40 minute scrolls, and it's taken away from my morning sometimes.

on top of this, GOD twitter is depressing.

HEY, HERE'S A HOT MORALLY CONCERNING HEAVILY DEBATABLE DEPRESSING TAKE THAT'LL RUIN YOUR MOOD‼️‼️👈👈♻️❤️ (1/14 tweets of slowly increasing dread!)🧵

... is an inevitability that you'll see often while just trying to look for your friend's posts, or sometimes they'll even repost it on their page... and it gets depressing. I don't want to see the world falling apart while I'm talking to friends, I get politics is important but my #1 rule is that it isn't shoved down my throat, and twitter is the biggest discriminator without a doubt.

twitter is also a huge unmoderated pit of posts, I've muted all that I can but people still find a way to be sexual, even minors but that's a whole other rabbit hole. there's no real way to mute it all, and it sucks. nobody uses spoilers on images, and twitter's timeline is a mess so you'll get some random's TOP 10 WACKY OPINIONS ON RANDOM WOMEN out of nowhere ┐⁠(⁠´⁠ー⁠｀⁠)⁠┌

the thing is, twitter was made back in like 2008 to post very short phrases on what you're doing, but now it's evolved poorly into a mixed mess of becoming THE social media app

so use Tumblr, PLEASE..!

the good without the dreadful

I didn't realize that 2010s web-blogs were the future, but blogs actually are a perfect solution! I read this article not too long ago, and I loved it. isn't it cool being able to just read some person's cool opinions and thoughts on their little journeys?! from there I got to thinking...

"didn't Tumblr have a blogs system as cool as this??"

it does!! I can check in on my friends on one page dedicated to them all, I can support cool artists, I can meet new mutuals, find new people with the # pages actually being useful (twitter's one sucks, don't you lie to me), the For You ONLY shows tags I follow, sexual content is banned, people actually use #s in posts which I can mute easily, there's like no politics and I can enjoy my space in PEACE!

so can you help me out and use Tumblr with me?

this is literally the best app for literally any community, but the tragic thing is not enough people use it. I get that new can be scary, and a month ago when I did use it, it was pretty difficult, but once you get the hang of it, you'll learn to love the new side of your communities! you also have your own space, so you can post your slick rhythm game scores or live posts of tv shows, it's great!

so with the whole essay I made, totally consider adding Tumblr to your ecosystem! make an account, get started talking to people, share the love for this app getting new people in here, and have fun!

you're gonna need some basic "get started" tips and get some extensions maybe, tumblr is an old place and has its own style, so I wouldn't skip these (they're short, promise!)

here's a twitter thread I used ages ago, super useful!

apparently my friend used this and got good tips, some extra pointers if you're interested!

as for me, I'll be talking more about things with you people on both apps, but mainly on here, this is the return I'm comfortable with, I'll still be on twitter for random silly posts, but general stuff goes on this blog. I hope this works well enough and I really would love to see all of you guys on here too!

> thanks for reading this, it means a lot

Onward Fan Art Shout Out! Part 1

Quest Masters of Tumblr! I present to thee Onward fanart straight from Instagram that I personally have not seen in a very VERY long time (close to two years it would seem...) that I believe deserve more visibility!

We all know Onward is a film that deserves more attention and we've been fighting for its attention just about every day since COVID came along and screwed things up. But as it turns out, we really aren't the only ones who believe this film needs more and deserves more...

I spent about the last week and a half just going through everything, and I mean EVERYTHING, in my Onward album on Instagram from when it first came out to its anniversary last year, and doing that I came across some pieces where I looked at them and realized, "hey I think the only time I've ever seen this artwork was when I first saved it, and yet...it feels like I'm seeing this art for the first time, it's soooooooo amazing!"

And from there I just started going through and picking out art that I really have not seen like EVER and saved the links to each piece in my notes which you could probably imagine got hella long, which it did! And I did that with the intention of making sure these artworks don't stay buried forever

So I figured I'd start this potential series of sharing fan art that just isn't seen a whole lot and share them here. And I want to start it off by sharing art of Ian AND Barley seeing as we're still kinda steaming at the fact that Barley isn't in Mirrorverse with Ian and that the brothers really should be together

And by all means if anyone else wants to do this too, share overlooked fan art, nothing is stopping you! Go for it! There's probably a ton of Onward art I haven't saved and by extent, haven't seen either!

But for now, I hope you enjoy this collection! I figured I'd limit it to 10 pieces at a time since that's tumblr's limit and it's a good number, and hopefully you might like/want to follow some of these artists I picked because some of these pieces come from art accounts so the artists do really awesome art in general anyway!

So yeah, have at it! Btw, all of this art spans from April-September 2020, so yeah, they're that old

And artist credits and additional notes below!

Sorry to bother but, I've been thinking about getting into miscecanis, but I'm not really sure what that would entail? Especially since I don't know any miscecanis ppl irl so a pack isn't really an option. The only things I really know about are nesting and scents but I'm still confused about scents tbh. Basically I'm asking how to get into miscecanis?

hi! not a bother at all!

so, I got into miscecanis because one day my girlfriend was like hey do you know about omegaverse and I dove ridiculously hard into the topic. I read everything about it I could find on tumblr and read a lot of fic, and at some point on my tumblr deep dive I ran into the term miscecanis. so then I read everything I could about that and eventually found some discord servers where people can talk about miscecanis, etc (although to be honest most of our conversations are the etc part, it's a great time). it's really cool to talk to other people so interested in miscecanis and a/b/o, and to share about experiences with the miscecanis lifestyle like nesting, scents, etc.

besides things online, I just kinda did my own thing to live out aspects of a/b/o in my own life. I picked a scent and got some things to wear it and scent my house like perfume and candles, or trying out different ways of making a nest to see what made me happiest. I also got to introduce my girlfriend to miscecanis, and lucky for me, she got excited about it too. I was nervous to tell her but it really worked out because she's my alpha now :)

so based on my experience, things you can do to get into miscecanis are:

read as much a/b/o related content as you can, and see what resonates with you

read miscecanis content on tumblr to see what others are doing and talking about

consider what dynamic you feel most like, and keep in mind that: a) it can be be really hard to choose, so don't worry b) there is no wrong answer, it's your life and your feelings c) it's super okay to change your mind!! in fact, in the miscecanis community we cheer for people when they figure out something that suits them better

try some things in your lifestyle like wearing a scent, making a nest, maybe wearing some jewelry that reminds you of your dynamic

you can express your dynamic with things like art, or playlists, or whatever else makes you happy

chat with others about it online (but please do be safe online with personal information and all that, internet safety is very important) (also if you scroll through my blog you can find two different discord server links)

chat about it with a friend, but do be careful because some people really dislike the concept of omegaverse so play it safe with that one

I hope this helps! Have fun with it! the miscecanis community is one of the most kind and welcoming groups i've interacted with and i think you'll have a great experience as you get more into it

good morning i got like ten hours of sleep (REJOICE) and my brain is capable of having thoughts again. i want to write a blog post about Representation In Media here we go unless you make something yourself with your own hands entirely for your own indulgence, you are never going to get the perfect Representation that you specifically crave. there is no One Size Fits All solution for representing any identity in a piece of media. we all seek something different from stories, and we seek different things from different stories. i usually start my thoughts like this with "i personally think" but i personally think this is a pretty objective statement. what i do Think that if we had a recipe for Perfect Representation it would turn all of our stories bland and same-like, not to mention Deeply Biased From A Cultural Standpoint. do not get me wrong - i think Representation is deeply important, i think giving it some serious thought and even consulting sensitivity readers is a very positive thing to do. we all have blind spots, we are all fallible, and we all have biases to face. but it's never going to be Perfect, and that's okay. what it's going to be regardless, is a story. and here's what i Personally Think - i think staying true to your story and your characters and do them justice is more important than checking off boxes on the Representation List. because i think that's what representation really boils down to - not the exact correct way they will talk about their experiences, but their sheer humanity in engaging with it. human beings are messy and diverse and so are stories. stories affect reality in the same way we affect stories, we are the ones who create them, we are the ones who tell them, we are the ones who read them, watch them, play them, engage with them, retell them, criticize them, forget them, think about them fifteen years later. it's a two way street baby. a piece of art does not exist as a singular unaltered shining entity in the mind of the artist, it exists differently in the mind of every person in its audience. maybe YOU see a trashy sitcom full of continuity holes, but i'm different. i see an epic and tragic romance imprisoned in the status quo timeloop. maybe the side character is forgettable to YOU. maybe he saved my life. you can't know! another personal belief of mine, and i know i've talked about it before - i think self-indulgence tells the best stories. i think fully leaning into what you really love and want to see, to decline your shame, to say "listen this is the story i've always wanted to see and i have not seen it yet. i know it's kinda stupid but i don't care anymore", to be sincere - it will not be for everyone (nothing is), but you're rarely the only person who wanted to see it. through sheer sincerity we can reach out a hand and someone else will take it. trying to please literally everyone will create a bland story and a lukewarm audience. i know we live under capitalism and there is no good solution because you gotta make money, too, and sometimes it's a job and you create what you do because you need to live. sometimes you do what you need to do to please a different audience than yourself. but we also live in an age where it's never been easier to share your own stories with the entire audience of the world. you no longer need to be a full team to create and publish (though i've witnessed how incredibly hard it is to be a lone webcomic creator and having to do everything yourself until you burn out. IT'S NOT GREAT OR SUSTAINABLE AND I WISH WE DIDN'T LIVE UNDER LATE STAGE CAPITALISM). creators can be any one among us, it can be me, it can be you, they are on twitter, they are on tumblr, they stream on wednesdays, and we can even message them directly?? and with that, it removes so much of the curtain - you can tell them if you think they did something wrong. you can ask them about how valid your headcanon is. the separation is thinner - just because you CAN doesn't always mean you SHOULD. the anxiety of every creator who is in any way accessible to their audience - you

can create something incredibly heartfelt and vulnerable and personal, and in doing so people will reach in through your ribcage bars and try to grab everything they can. it's easier to ask the Accessible Lone Creator to defend their story choices than it is to pester whoever the CEO of marvel is. it's not always a good thing, it's not always a bad thing, but independent creators are always going to catch the brunt of it more soundly. and knowing this, it makes us afraid to create stories, sometimes. because most of us don't want to hurt anyone with the stories we want to tell, but it's hard not to, i think. most stories have to be a little messy. it makes us want to polish our stories down till there's almost nothing left. we just have to overcome this anxiety and be brave enough to tell our stories anyway, or else they'll never get told at all. and i'm not saying media and creators are exempt from criticism at all, but that, well, everything is so dang complex all the dang time. there's different audiences. there's audiences that will see your little gender hints and know and nod, no explanations needed. there's audiences that will not see a character as transgender no matter how loudly and explicitly they perform it on screen. how can you POSSIBLY reconcile your story to cater to both audience at once? maybe there's a need for two different stories - one is the story of a subtle and complicated relationship with gender that explores the navigation of their life and challenges and how it intersects with their other identities. the other is a story where the character loudly proclaims they are transgender and while they used to identify one way, they now identify as this, but they are still the same person they always were and want to be treated as such and don't want to answer any questions on this topic ever THANKS. both stories are valid, relatable and important in their own way, but they rarely satisfy the same audience. and y'know, sometimes, i can relate to a character that wasn't even intended to be representation. i know the author didn't intend to write an autistic character, but that character sure is autistic and speaks far more to my soul than the cardboard autistic rep they served me earlier. sometimes there is a cis character struggling with gender woes i struggle with as a trans person, and it validates me in ways another story intended to be Transgender Representation never did. in sheer vulnerability and sincerity, i reach across to hold the author's hand in our shared humanity. there is no one experience that is wholly unique to a single demographic. there is no one emotion that is exclusive to only one group of people. i think it's more important to tell the story that is right for the world and the characters than the satisfaction of a checklist. there is not any one way to experience an identity, and every person will experience it differently. to break someone's character just to make sure they engage with their experiences in a percieved 'correct' way might just make the story fall flat and make no impression at all. besides, if there IS a percieved Correct Way, it has been done already, that's for sure. there's probably someone who needs to hear the messy story of a messy experience that you want to tell. maybe that someone is you, and that's enough. you can't tell Every Story, and that's enough too. you don't have to like every story. you can quit reading a book in the middle of it. it's okay if you want to watch a show for One character and that character only. you can find the storytellers that hold your heart in the ways you need to be held. i promise they're out there if you look.

hello, old friends

So, um, what's up? Been awhile since I used this blog. Or this website, even. You might not remember me. In some ways I hope you don't--it would save me the embarrassment of having to be compared to my younger self. Did you know I got my first Tumblr account in 2008? I was sixteen and in high school and worked part time at a mall HMV in downtown Ottawa. My url was chosen from a lyric in a Johnny Flynn song from his first album which I listened to almost every day that whole summer. A few summers after that I started watching Supernatural (2005-2020 god bless r.i.p. etc.) and everything kind of spiralled on from there.

You probably knew me under the name dirtyovercoats if you followed me back then, maybe even on that original blog before it got deleted by admin in 2014 for posting one too many Frightened Rabbit songs (r.i.p.). I was in a bad place mentally when that happened and still only freshly out in the world at 22, so I'm gonna be real with you when I say that whole ordeal kind of ruined my relationship with the site for a long time. When I first logged in the other day to revamp this blog space, I was amused and amazed to discover the last time I'd actually used it was in 2018.

(An excellent post to go out on though, I do say.)

I knew it had to be 2018, instinctually, by the declaration of my age alone, "26." In only a few weeks I'll be 30, which I have now discovered, nearly being there, only feels insane because of how young you still also feel when it happens. It's actually pretty exciting!

Don't get me wrong, a lot's happened in the interim to make me grow up a bit more. I went to grad school, and the first wave of covid hit. I went on mental health leave from grad school, and the second wave of covid hit. I started HRT, I returned to grad school, made a thesis about being queer and trans, and then the third wave of covid hit. I got a job at an art store, got vaccinated twice, quit said job at the art store after one too many crying breakdowns in the basement, graduated with a MFA, and fourth wave of covid hit. And I think that's about where we're at now, plus or minus a few waves and hits and, recently, plus a booster.

I think we've all been pretty traumatized by the world these last few years, but at the very pathetic, putrid least I can't say it hasn't pushed me to do a lot of... growing, shall we say, emotionally speaking. Spiritually, maybe, though I am an atheist. Certainly existentially. Most importantly, I discovered weed, and ifkyk, you know. Sherlock Holmes got it and understood.

And so here we are! I kinda thought I might be ready to step out into the world again. I wish I had been ready sooner, but what's done is done is done. Once I finished grad school I kind of realised that as gruelling the experience of having covid hit half way through your research project sometimes (often) was, it also made me far more confident in myself as an artist, writer, and general creative person, which, in the end, was what I had wanted for myself all along.

I'm sharing this here with you all here because I like honesty and because I wanted to re-introduce myself, regardless if you knew me then or are only knowing me for the first time reading this right now. My name's still Anna, despite being an AFAB trans person taking testosterone and using they/them pronouns, because I love that name and nothing else has ever felt so right for me or felt so much like it was the same colour as my soul. It's also a palindrome, which I've always really liked for pure aesthetic reasons, and I'm happily quite vain that way. I'm explaining this in very simple, straightforward terms because people sometimes get confused by the idea of a transmasc person still using a traditionally "feminine" name. But the thing is part of the wonder of being trans for me is not having to cater to heteronormative restrictions or categories anymore, which, like many trans people intimately know, is in practice actually a very difficult thing to do! I've given myself permission to be free of them, but it's a choice only I can make for myself, consciously, and sometimes with great effort. It's hard, and it shouldn't be this hard, but no matter how difficult it is it's also kind of wonderful, because it is absolutely worth it, in the end, to actually see in your future a way for you to be happy.

This is all to say! I think I'm getting there, or on the way there, sometimes. It's more than I've had in awhile. And it's new and good and I want to keep it going. Which is why I've come to face one of my last great fears: the big blue. It's been awhile, so I'm sure it'll take some time catching up. I kind of went crazy and razed the post archive of this account to the ground, to give myself a real chance to start fresh. Cowardly, maybe, but also it was 2AM and I'd had two edibles and was bored from literally waiting for some paint to dry in my studio (my bedroom floor).

Which brings me to the VERY LAST THING I promise: I kind of wanted to start posting art here again. And other stuff who knows; I've come to embrace the fact that I have little discipline or inclination for a real schedule. I'll see you again soon ❤️.

[jafndaegur]

For some of you, this is goodbye.

For others of you, this is hello.

And others still, this is thank you for staying by my side.

I mentioned at the end of the Jafs Hobbit Like Birthday event that this post was coming. This is kinda gonna be a long one but I figured anyone who reads this genuinely cares about what's inside.

The long story short is, tldr, I'm retiring from fanfic.

See what I did there? Eh? Eh??? Anyways.

Sounds kinda silly doesn't it? But I feel that's a good way to put it. Retiring.

Many of my followers and mutuals know I have been struggling with balancing fanfic and my original writing. For quite some time now I've felt as though I've fallen behind my peers and lost my way as a writer. And while my irl writing friends and fanfic friends too have encouraged me...it's a fight that I was constantly losing.

For as much as I've cut back on releasing fanfics these past few years—I still always come back first to writing the ideas I have as fanfics versus my own stories. And that's not necessarily a bad thing.

But over time I've felt that so much of my training and hard work became wasted.

...which shouldn't be true either.

Because at the end of the day, seeing my readers happy means the world to me. That's the way it should be. But here we are.

So why "retiring"?

Retiring is a lot less strict than quitting (at least in my little brain). I still really love fanfic. And there are still stories that I would like to finish. But this is where I am drawing my line.

I would like to finish these stories. But I will no longer be putting pressure on myself to do so. If I never finish the [blue and grey] series or Shattered Euphonies or Noise of Rain...it's sad...but I also don't owe anyone but myself to finish them. And if I don't finish them because I've outgrown them or moved on so I can do what I want with my storytelling...

Then isn't that me growing as a writer?

So...what will you be doing Jaf if you're not focusing on fanfic?

Well. In addition to posting about producing the Scattered Fragments audio drama...

I will be releasing novels on Tapas—and sharing concept writing, art, and WIPs on this blog along with any fanfic that may trickle through.

It's a bit of a gamble really.

I'm scared that no one will read my original works, I'm scared that leaving the fanfic community for a more passive role will backfire.

But thinking back to that day, that very first day that I posted my first chapter of a How to Train Your Dragon Xover Rise of the Guardians (I was that young 😂)...that was a bit of a gamble then wasn't it?

I've been planning this step for over a year now, and the fact that it's here...it's time—I'm really excited.

Now unlike my past projects, my first story for Tapas will start release in July. The story is already pretty much written, and I start editing the manuscript come mid-January/early February. And Konoponopy (who some of you may recognize from my NSD zine story) will be returning as my cover artist for the project.

I know some people will probably leave this blog now that my fanfics will become even less frequent that what it already is. But I also hope that as I reach out more, as I become more and more confident in myself as a creator, new people will join here too.

I couldn't have made my way all these years without all of my close friends, back when I took that first wobbly step into the Sesskag community here on Tumblr to where I am today. And there's no way that everyone who I know will make it on this list but I just really want to thank my friends, my inspirations, the guys I joke and mess around with on a daily-weekly-monthly- yearly-in general basis.

@chierafied @meldrymoon @mythicamagic @reifromrfa @joeys-piano @mrs-han @anon-drabble @shekilledthenightking @keeperofthefour @stormielikeweather @drosselmeyerwrites @quirky-and-kind @shittylongcat @uri59 and @space-kittie

Thank you all for what you have given me in our friendships and I can only hope that continues now into the future.

Now here's the fun part.

What will that story be, releasing in July?

I am releasing a sci-fi, lgbt romance, slowburn titled:

Stars within the Rose Roots

If you've made it this far, both in this post and alongside me all these years, then truly and sincerely—thank you.

So for now:

Please look forward to my next story 💕

[brglhobbit]

Ciao dear :D Tell us something about yourself, you're THE artist on Bagginshield now, we want to meet you :) A few questions for reference: When did you join the fandom? Why do you only draw Bagginshield? How old are you? Are you self-taught? Do you have other blogs? Cap or Ironman? Pizza with or without pineapples? ;)

Ooohhh the dreaded question tell about yourself, I can try. I just enjoy keeping up a certain aura of mystery because I’m such a scorpio INTP. Or maybe I’m just not that interesting.

Ok ok let’s see I love Eurovision (the nf season was insanely good this year), I love mushrooms (the finding and picking part especially), I love playing the sims 4 (I have bagginshield family there alongside my other creations). 

This little blog I've had going on for only a few months now but I assure you I'm a long term fan, though I sort of rediscovered.. or more like fully entered the fandom in 2020. Back in the day I saw the hobbit trilogy in cinemas, local premiere night and all because a friend was a huge fan of everything Tolkien. I had only seen lotr beforehand but immediately fell in love with the grumpy little hobbit. And THAT HUG that was THE THING.

This kinda leads to why I only draw bagginshield, because bagginshield is just such an emotional support ship full of comfort and warm fuzzy thoughts  and that's what I needed last year when the pandemic was still newish and scary and everything was hard. I distracted myself by drawing the soft little men doing soft things. I do draw other things sometimes but .. nothing really gives me the comfort bagginshield does. 

Also I really relate to both of the characters in many ways and soooo many Bilbos I’ve drawn are very much diary-like self expression, like around Christmas I drew very desperate hobbits because I was so desperately annoyed by my family and all. My family can be such Sackville-Bagginses. 

As an artist I am absolutely not self taught, I have a degree in design and did so many years of art school as a very young hobbit. So yea I studied the fine arts for years and years and look at me now, proudly drawing hobbits and dwarves. 

I'm [redacted] years old, so basically very much an adult in human age but not adult yet in hobbit terms of age. And I am actually a hobbit. Brglhobbit is my legal name. I live in a hole in the ground. And I'm also unreliable. Because all stories deserve a little embellishment.

I’ve had plenty of blogs and accounts around the internet but none of them contained much hobbit content and none of them are active anymore. I recently did make a blog to share my Sims stuff (I thought I'd make pretty funny things there too) but somehow I can not log in and have been unable to access the email to recover the password so I guess that's the universe telling me not to keep other blogs.

Cap or Ironman? Ok I’m not even sure what this means I clearly do not know enough to have a preference. 

Pineapples can you please stay away from my pizza. 

Ok that’s so much information people I know irl might recognize me but I’m pretty sure none of them likes hobbits enough to look at fan art blogs on tumblr AND IF YOU DO OMG YOU NERDS

I said I would draw whatever so here's a photorealistic self portrait it kinda goes with the theme of this post right

Anyway thank you so very much for this interview I feel like a celebrity 🤓

[tokugou]

Hi. First: I love your GIFs! They're pleasing to see on my dash (and sometimes gives me niggling ideas for creating GIFs of my own but almost never do it cuz procrastination and my creativity sucks haha 😅)! Please keep creating! <3

Second, genuine question (and out of curiosity): Why do you self reblog your posts often? People can see your posts on their dash, and even on the search thingy. The search thingy doesn't let people see your self-reblogs (just the original post). Even though I've kinda been on and off of Tumblr for years, I don't really get how it works, so I'm a bit confused as to why you and other bloggers self-reblog your/their own posts?

You don't have to answer if you don't want to, though! I'm just genuinely confused and I don't know who/where else to ask/search 😅. Thanks in advance! Have a nice day! <3

I honestly don't know what I did to get dragged into this discourse

Thank you for polite question, I honestly don't know if I can help you a lot and if my answer will explain it as you expect. I also was on and off tumblr for a long time and often, but I can answer it based on my own experience on this becasue it was confusing to me too when I first met with self reblogging.

Long reply under read more so to not trash other people' dash

first of all self promotion isn't a bad thing and i'm staring to think some of people here see it as a crime

compared to old one nowday t/mblr is a mess, lot of people left this site and most of them were content creators (either artists or gifmakers) and back then it seemd more welcoming to editors? People would rb your stuff no matter your popularity becasue hey it is content from my fav series i wanna see more i wanna keep it on my blog and show it to others so there was no need for people to self reblog becasue it circulated around a lot on its own.

new people who join this app are raised on i/stagram t/itter and/or f/book where LIKES means everything, you show your support by liking posts THIS NOT APPLY TO TUMBLR AND NEVER DID [you can check this amazing post about rebloging]. As nice as it is to get likes on your post becasue it is like a pat on a head - it is only a pat, doesn't mean anything on a long run. Reblog = spreading. If people don't spread it we stay unnoticed and we tend to self reblog more.

another thing that changed is: people no longer scroll from top to the last post they saw before going to sleep, cos why would they? You wake up in the morning open app while eating breakfast or drinking coffee and you sroll past ten or twenty post or an equivalent of hour or two of your absence - you dont go deeper cos it would be a waste of time - again, I say USUALLY, some ppl still do this and it is ok either way - which leads us to main point of self/reblog:

DIFFERENCE in TIME ZONE not all of our followers live in the same time-zone, when I post something in my free time it doesn't mean others have it too, most of them are probably sleeping or in working place at that hour. We self reblog so people who were absent (and we think might be interested in - becasue why not? they follow us for a reason right?) can see it when they get back on here. By reblogging ourself multiple times, that puts the post back on the follower’s dash and hopefully gives them a chance to see it.

most of people follow ton of blogs (one of my friend I met here told me they follow over 1k blogs) imagine even half of these blogs posting regulary, a few things per hour, the dash is messy and crowded OUR EDITS TEND TO GET LOST IN IT. Most of people follow a lot of blogs and might miss our posts becaue their dashes are WAY more active than these who follow five or ten blogs.

t/mblr fandoms aren't welcoming to new creators in my experience, to get notes you need to be popular/have lot of followers but you can't have lot of them if your posts aren't spread/seen and so on and so on it go in circle (a lot of ppl also only reblog popular posts and avoid these with litte of notes - don't know why it is like this, maybe they think these posts are suspicious?) so with self reblog we also give some of these fake notes to make a post more appealing, i guess? this one is just speculation.

the search function you mentioned is very rarely used tbh people don't go to search for things daily, they usually only do this when they join new series/ship/etc to check if there is something. People usually stick to what they see on their dashes. AND most importantly this option doesn't work as it should. It is some type of algoritm that promote post that are alive/active - even if your post is relativy new it might not show in search becasue it died quickly (as if it wasn't interacted with for some time). With search option it is 50/50 your thing either show there or not. ALSO REMEMBER search option is a terrible promoted thingy that doesn't show you everything so you better stick to /tagged/ thing you can enter manually while on dash if you are using web t/mblr.

people no longer go straight to specific blogs to check if they missed something, they might do it for their besties (as they call it) but other than that DASH is all people see and focus on, so the more often content creators self/reblog the higher chance followrs will see it.

we are not paid for what we do and it come to everything: edits, gifs, arts, writing, video and META POST we are not paid for it and no matter how many people say notes are just numbers these numbers are our motivational payment, the less you get the less you create because you just don't feel the point of sharing your creations if it is not received well or at all.

when I started posting I used to post new content daily even twice a day, nowdays seeing most of my edits not being well recieved in fandom I lost motivation to the point I was thinking of quiting because it didn’t give me joy anymore and I'm still considering it.

I personally never felt bothered seeing self rebbloged post, I follow a bunch of content creators, some of them sr twice a day some each hour, some more or less often. It often helped me to see something I would missed becasue I wasn't here and personally it often give me joy to see the post I remember seeing that had 2 notes when I rb it and now it is 500 or more.

to anyone who read it and still think self reblog is a bother: do not tell people to stop self reblogging. If you genuinely have a problem with self reblogging, just unfollow or block the person who does it and don’t make a fuss over it!

I hope I managed to answer you at least partly? I probably lost the point somewhere between first sentence and second but... well
