Perhaps us old tumblr users should make a "how to use tumblr" post? I see so many newbies that are completely lost, mistake this website for something it isn't or giving people absolutely wrong information.

- reblogging all the things you like to have on your own blog is how this website works. Very important rule

- this is a community that shares the work and reblogs of people they follow to spread the word

- your blog is basically a huge mood board of stuff you like & you collect things on it. Either by reblogging things or by making things & reblogging things.

- this is a place to show support for your fandoms by creating gifsets, fanart, post links to fanfic, post spoilers about your favourite shows

- it is not really an ideal place for really discussing your fandoms? I mean there is the comment function and DMs and also texts under reblogs and asks but I always also used forums additionally to tumblr to dive deeper into discussions about my favourite characters. (Some people might disagree with me on this)

- you can filter what you see in your timeline (your dashboard) by whose tumblrs you follow. Once we're mutuals we usual stay mutuals forever.... (the I follow you so please follow me back thing doesn't exist here by the way)

- I often check blogs that reblog my content to see if we share a lot of interests and if that's the case, I follow them. Makes my timeline really interesting. A nice mix of everything

- main reason for being on tumblr for me: enjoying all the fandom content, creating gif sets, analysing every tiny microsecond of a scene by watching gifs loop forever, finding new people in m fandoms and connecting with them via reblogs and the comment section

Speaking of qsmp in the moment

I’m in need of more people to talk to about qsmp

Here’s my resume:

every time someone in a discussion about breeding for BOAS reduction in pugs says to 'look up this program called Retromops' i slip a little arsenic into the produce section at the grocery store

Guidelines for what Pairings

This is an SFW-only event, so no NSFW content is allowed

We will not accept any incest, or minor/adult pairings (this includes aging up characters who are minors throughout most of the series and pairing them with adult characters that way. for example, we won't accept Midoriya Izuku and All Might as a romantic pairing, even if you age up Midoriya, so they're both adults in your story)

Our rules about what counts as a rarepair are less to do with numbers, and more to do with judgement on how popular the ship is overall in the fandom. As a base rule, we would say that the two most popular ships for any popular character are out of the question but here is a list of pairs we do NOT accept: BakuDeku, IzuOcha, KiriBaku, TodoDeku, TogaChako, TodoMomo, KiriMina, KamiJirou, ShinKami, MomoJirou, TsuChako, TodoBaku, Kacchako, EraserMic, EndHawks, DabiHawks

Poly ships are accepted and welcome

Please understand that the mods are people too and we have our own limits and boundaries as to what we are comfortable with and what we are not.

If you're unsure if a pairing is allowed or not, don't be scared to ask us directly! We have our asks open at all times, and someone will answer your question :)

A shambler summoning ritual was the easiest one to do in a short amount of time- and they were fortunately intimidating enough to stop the cultist's skip abduction ritual. Hooray! We love shamblers. I think the skeleton one is especially cool.

The few (three) cultists not beaten to a pulp by the shamblers were quickly dealt with by Mechi and his newly-constructed (and probably very poorly designed) killbox.

[subeddieweek]

You understand that sub Eddie is a term used and tagged widely by the entire Eddie fandom and all Eddie ships right? Totally fair to only want your event to be Steddie but you could have picked a more specific name instead of just borrowing one that already exists for everyone. It’s not fair to bring hate to people that are just minding their business with no idea this event is even happening but now they have people commenting on their shit that other ships aren’t allowed. Being rude because you didn’t know an event had commandeered the term sub Eddie for the week. There’s enough hate in this space already.

We picked the name because it was available! Any other event group could have done the same if we hadn't, but out of all the other media and ships that involve someone named Eddie, no one did. Any other event can pick their own, more specific name, too, if they want.

Trust us, we understand being hated in our fan communities, but this ask is a waste of our time and yours. We just finished up our second year with this being a Steddie-only event, so this isn't a new thing we suddenly "commandeered," and we didn't consider anyone would see it that way when we picked our name. Assuming we had malicious intent over something so small like this is unfair.

The standalone Sub Eddie Munson tag can be used by anyone at ANY time and we've never said anything to the contrary. This is part of why we specified this year to tag our specific blog (which has all our rules pinned and easy to find so there should be minimum confusion as to what/who this event is for) because other people use the same tags we use.

All we have asked is that people don't use our event collection on AO3 for unrelated works which is really reasonable seeing as we personally made the collection and moderate it ourselves. If there are other events going on, event moderators should be making their own collections. If there isn't another event going on, people shouldn't be using a random moderated event collection anyway.

No one speaks for our event except for the official social media pages and we are unaware of any conflict happening in other places. Sorry this is happening, but we didn't ask for that and that's the fault of people who think they can backseat-moderate an event they aren't actually involved with.

And to anyone who feels the need to comment on works they feel don't "fit," the only official fics for our event are in our official collection on AO3 that we have linked numerous times, or they are reblogged on our official social medias. If it's not here or in the collection, it's entirely separate and you shouldn't be speaking for the event. We have given you a way to read only fics for this event by moderating the collection ourselves, so looking elsewhere is the fault of your own, not the writers simply using the sub Eddie tag.

tl;dr - you can use the sub Eddie Munson tag, literally nobody cares. Other events can pick their own names, we took it because it was available. Just don't use collection we personally made or randomly tag our URL/@ and we don't have an issue because we moderate our event and show everyone what's actually part of it. No one speaks for our event except for us, so stop doing that if you are.

hey hey hey!! my " gardeners " section of my pinned is in desperate need of tending to, so i'm softly resetting it. that said, tap the heart if you'd like to be mains, affiliates, or exclusives, and i'll scuttle into your messages to talk about it! this post does a wonderful job explaining what each term means, but for this blog specifically, just keep in mind...

if you'd like to be mains, we need to have a dynamic established between our muses. we can absolutely discuss a dynamic now if we haven't already and move forward with the intention to focus on that dynamic -- that's fine by me <3 but i want to start digging into plots and developing relationships, and that's much easier if i have a clear picture of who our muses are to each other.

affiliates are in a similar boat, but i feel that they require more communication and plotting. if we're affiliates, that means our muses play an active, " canon " role in each other's stories, be it their main or au verses. or maybe this means we're making verses for each other's lore. whatever way you spin it, being affiliates means i'm in your messages rambling like a madwoman with blocks of text sometimes -- be prepared!!

i dunno how i'll list them neatly yet, but i'm also using this opportunity to discuss exclusives. i think this will mainly apply to my romantic shipping partners, but i'm generally open to discussing your canon muse being the only version chiyo interacts with if we're vibing and/or have a well-established dynamic. shipping partners merely have to ask, but if we're newly talking/interacting, that'll require more discussion and development.

where do you rp dragon riders of pern? 👀

Over here on Ramora!

its not quite aligned to canon, i think its semi-canon? we've got some different mutations and colors alongside some Fuckery with wars :3c here's the plot blurb:

While a war for control rages in the North, the West deals with their own issues - the first clutch from their Southern gold had resulted in a tragedy of a few lumenweed affected weyrlings and many dead, voiding what was supposed to be a blessing for the struggling Weyr. And now with Fort's foiled attempt to lay claim on Ramora, thus leaving them without their Senior Weyrwoman, the eyes of the North slowly begin to turn their attention on the fledgling Weyr ...

Ramora Weyr is located on the secluded Western Isle, ostensibly separated from the discriminating riders of the Northern and Southern Weyrs. It’s been over 300 turns since new colors appeared on Pern, but they are still not considered normal by outsiders. However recent alliance between Ramora Weyr and Southern Weyrs had resulted in the birth of the Agate Weyr, where the appearance of new colors is being closely observed. Meanwhile between the walls of Telgar, a young class too is composed of these new colors, their fate yet unknown.

"Hamas' terrorists did not pity anyone on October 7th. Not religion, not nationality and not belief changed the fate of those who were murdered that Saturday. Awad Darawshe, of Iksal, was a young man who studied medicine, volunteered at the United Rescue EMS organization, and worked as an ambulance driver for a living; and on the morning of October 7th he was an on call first responder at the Nova party. When the massacre began, Awad exited his ambulance and ran out to aid the many wounded. When the emergency service center asked him to quickly evacuate and leave, Awad insisted on devotedly treating the casualties, until he was shot point blank by the murderers. Awad's sister, Maysam, shall give an address."

"Many ask me what kind of child Awad was. Those who knew him from the stories of the Black Saturday, knew that he was a paramedic and ambulance driver who was murdered at the Nova party. But for us, Awad was our little boy at home, our light, our life, who filled the house with warmth and love. Awad was a boy who always loved helping, full with endless energies. He was a boy full of dreams. He wanted to be a doctor, but also a great chef. To build his own home, but also stay forever by our parents' side. After six days of uncertainty, our Awad came back home in an ambulance, this time - dead. Awad, I'm hearing the words mother tells about you in Arabic, the same language that on Saturday morning was linked with blood and horrors, and many here must struggle to hear it. But it is the language of our childhood! The language with which we dreamed of a better future, of love, of peace, and of life - for all of us. To quote mother: [in Arabic] 'Awad was a gift from the heavens. His journey was short, but it carried many and massive meanings, which taught us how to love each other, help each other, and not let hatred and envy live in us.' Awad, I hope you could hear me. Shukran."

#4 from the meme and a few extra! What's your oldest hypno fantasy from when you first discovered the kink and also what fantasy have you had the longest but have yet to do?

#4. My current recurring fantasy is being able to be on display. Shown how easily I make noises and how easy it is to get me to do anything. Pretty simple but I am not a particularly showy person and so I’ve got a lot of personal hesitations about it, totally on me to feel more comfortable with the idea! I know these things are possible to an extent at cons, but I wouldn’t be able to do the exact things I want to do at them. The reality is such a thing is likely only possible to conceive of in private.

My oldest fantasy from when I first discovered the kink! I suppose I stumbled upon it as many of us did as villains brainwashing heroes. The fantasy element would probably be hypnosis/brainwashing to have me compromised enough to betray my morals or limits that I’d previously had.

Fantasy I have had the longest but have yet to do: a bad decisions club. Not bad decisions as in actual ill-advised actions, but lightly based on my story Bad Decisions Make Better Stories! I am (obviously) a big drug play person. I would love if that was actually feasible - the idea of a drug that shoots your arousal up and makes you acquiesce, so to speak. At a club or bar, being able to be a little messy about it, being brought back and have terrible things done to you. This runs back into the me-not-being-an-exhibitionist issue, for one. For two, alcohol would be a great tool as far as kind of letting yourself be tipsy and silly (in a socially acceptable way) and make illogical (but hot) decisions, but that runs into the me-being-allergic-to-alcohol issue. I did get drunk once! Spider and I did shots of straight vodka to get enough of it in me before my throat closed up lol. HAHA not a very sexy description but a very funny story. I wouldn’t be opposed to it again. It just has to work out timing wise for a good evening and Spider to make sure I’m actually physically okay afterwards.

To a larger degree, I think many of us are all a bit more closed off and shy and worried to do things in public than we’d like to be. Sometimes comfort is a prison when you stick with old habits and only do what you’ve always done before. I’ve been going out with Doc a lot lately and meeting people and been uncomfortable but have always 100% enjoyed it. It’s been a great thing to push myself out of that comfort zone. A concept I have always joked about to close friends is an actual ‘bad decisions’ club where everyone goes with the idea that their comforts can be tested and they can try and let themselves do things they were scared to do, or be open to new experiences in a way they’d usually shy away from. This is, of course, hardly a feasible task. The reality is you are simply not going to find enough people who are okay with themselves enough to be uncomfortable, to do it, and people who want to take advantage of it, to not.

Ah, but a girl can dream.

Thank you sooo much for these questions!! Sorry I rambled and did a large text wall. I’m typing on mobile so if there are weird spacing issues, direct your ire towards the app, not me.
