hey

[genderfluidgothwitch]

The next thing I need new tumblr users to know is that it's common courtesy to put your fics under a read more so that people aren't scrolling through 10,000k on mobile :)

On the idea of Theseus's Ship: in the end, it's still his, isn't it? It was known as Theseus's, and it will continue to be known as Theseus's.

Even after he has returned to the ground which grew the wood of the hammer used to nail the ship's frame, Even after generations of new wood have rotted and the sails are rags clinging to threads, Even after millennia,

it will still be Theseus's Ship.

Thank you for bringing us home.

Goodnight, Phosphophyllite.

This Week’s Horrible-Scopes

It’s time for this week’s Horrible-Scopes! So for those of you that know your Astrological Signs, cool! If not, just pick one, roll a D12, or just make it up as you go along. It really doesn’t matter.

Aries 

Reminding you that you shouldn’t take legal advice from a Horrible-Scope, but… Sheet music from 1926 and earlier is Public Domain. Meaning if you wanted to write the Next Big Musical Hit, you’ve already got 75% of the work done for you! “Big Bad Bill (Is Sweet William Now)” was originally written in 1924, so you can do your best Crappy Van Halen Impersonation and still be legal. Get out that six string and don’t bother tuning it up.

Taurus 

Why is there Something rather than Nothing? Don’t look at us that way, it’s an interesting question. Is this the only Universe? Do we live in the only Cosmos, or is there an infinite number of nearly identical parallel Universes to this one. And where are they parked? This week ask if you’re allowed to take a driving test with automatic parallel parking systems.  

Gemini  

You need to learn the difference between musical groups with the same name. The song, “Radioactive” from 1985 was done by The Firm, not to be confused with the group who did the song, “Star Trekkin’” from 1987 called “The Firm”! See, it’s like SOOOOO confusing.  

Cancer Moon-Child 

Your high school Language Arts teacher would be both proud and horrified at you. You’ve been directly responsible for coining a new meme-expression, completely by accident mind you. Your lacklustre B-Minus grade average never hinted at this outcome in your formative years. At your next school reunion just remind everyone that you were inspired by a god who reminded you that “All words are made up”.  

Leo 

The modest Slinky began in 1945 and across its lifetime it’s humbly helped shape children’s imagination ever since. It’s been used as a classroom teaching tool, a portable and extendable radio antenna in wartime, and even flew on Space Shuttle Discovery in 1985 for astronaut Margaret Rhea Seddon to demonstrate its behavior in zero gravity during a telecast to the world. This week remember - humble beginnings can turn into long-term impact.

Virgo 

Are you familiar with the Matryoshka Doll? You might better know it as the Russian Nesting Doll. This week you’re going to need to buy a specific tool for a specific job that needs to be done… but you’ll discover after you’ve bought it that you’ll need another tool to help set up the original tool. This week make sure you think through what you need to buy for yourself. 

Libra 

You want to impress with flash but don’t have a lot of cash? Just remember this: A cut and polished one carat cubic zirconia stone will cost $20, and two carat about $30. A one carat diamond will start at $1,800. Truth be told, in a casual situation nobody will be able to tell the difference. So this week, Fake It before you Make It.

Scorpio 

Did You Know that… Back in the old iPod days, Apple had to BREAK the randomizer function on the devices. It’s true! A true randomizer could have, theoretically, played the same song several times in a row. Depending on the size of your collection it wouldn’t be easy, but possible. They intentionally wrote a routine to make sure that didn’t happen. This week don’t leave things to random chance, because they could happen over and over again, and you’re too old and crotchety to have to deal with that now.  

Sagittarius 

Visible light is just a specific frequency of electro-magnetic energy - the same kind of energy that sends music to your car to listen to. So imagine this - if we could actually SEE what we call “Radio Waves” we might be able to literally see WiFi signals bouncing around our houses or office buildings. This week send a tweet of appreciation to Commander Geordi La Forge, while Twitter is still functional.   

Capricorn 

There’s something we’ve always wanted to tell you, Capricorn, and here it is… We’re gettin’ pretty fed up with you. Week after week we gave you a nicer ‘Scope than Aquarius, and don’t think they didn’t notice. But you?! You just squandered all the good stuff that came your way. So you know what? We made sure that $2B Powerball never made it to you. And you know what else? We’re going to make sure you never win more than $5 in any lottery, ever! Because it’ll be a long-term loss if you try to buy a coffee with your WiNnInGs. STOP GAMBLING!

Aquarius 

An interesting philosophical question was asked recently. “For Halloween, do groups like GWAR, KISS, Ghost B.C. and Mortiis get dressed up in 80’s Yuppie clothing?” While you spend the week considering that, all your half-price chocolate was stolen out of your freezer. Thanks for the 3Musketeers! Talk to you next week!  

Pisces 

If you're on a highway and Road Runner goes beep beep, just step aside or you might end up in a heap. Road Runner, Road Runner runs down the road all day. Even the coyote can't make him change his ways. Road Runner, the coyote's after you. Road Runner, if he catches you you're through…. Now that THAT earworm is in your head, call your G.P. and schedule a physical. You’re older than you want to admit to.

And THOSE are your Hobble-Scopes for this week! Remember if you liked what you got, we’re obviously not working hard enough at these. BUT! If you want a better or nastier one for your own sign or someone else’s, all you need to do to bribe me is just Let Me Know! These will be posted online at the end of each week via Tumblr, Twitter, Facebook and Discord.

new to Tumblr folks YOU curate what you see if you don't like something unfollow the person who rebloged it or filter out tags. if you are still seeing stuff you don't like utilize the block button. there is no algorithm Tumblr isn't like every other social media we don't care about clout or numbers so don't come into this with that mindset. you don't get to police what people post it is up to you to filter out things that will be triggering or just general stuff you don't want to see. I have found great joy in this dysfunctional hellhole and I won't let any of you fuck it up. listen to the people who have been here for over a decade or close to it. they know what they're doing. I missed a whole lot of shit and there are way more in dept post you can find about how to use Tumblr properly. I'm not gonna say we don't want you here because for me personally I found that if you follow basic Tumblr logic you will be accepted but don't be surprised when things are extremely different than Twitter.

Here's a big old Fire Emblem Search & Find I did for the FE3H Masquerade Zine! Find the Golden Deer, but see if you can't find the rest of the students as well! For the ultimate challenge, see if you can't name every character! (Disclaimer two characters are NPCs with no names)

totally not crying

[cozylittleartblog]

ok i can't find any of the posts but hi if you're here from twitter here's a crash course of tumblr etiquette

reblog! reblog reblog reblog. if your post count is lower than your likes count you're doing it wrong. this is the website of having interests so reblog shit u like, we even have a tag system so you can organize things and find them again later! post limit is 250 posts daily, go nuts. edit - also, there is no algorithm here. we spread things ourselves or they don't get spread. Reblog!

change your icon from the default and have SOME kind of bio. there are bots around here. empty blogs get blocked by most people.

it is 400% ok to reblog old posts. yes even posts that are years old. we can turn off reblogs here, if someone didn't want you reblogging a post they wouldn't let you. you can reblog things multiple times in a row, even. if you want to put Cursed Pikachu Man (you'll likely get acquainted with him) on your follower's dashboards 12 times in a row nobody and nothing is stopping you.

post tags are for talking and rambling as much as they are organizing things, but keep in mind that tumblr only tracks the first 20 tags. so whether you are making an Original Post or Reblogging Something For Later, put your important tags first AND THEN ramble. the tags are also very long, 139 characters i believe. Per Tag. cough cough and creatives Really like it when you say stuff in your reblog tags cough cough

settings > dashboard > preferences. best stuff first? turn that shit off. your dashboard is now chronological and you can easily scroll to wherever you left off last. unless you follow like 500 people in which case lmao rip

6. you can send people both direct messages AND asks - DMs work like they do on any website. Asks are like sending somebody a piece of fan mail they can respond to publicly, or privately if you don't send it anonymously. Do not use the anonymous feature to be mean.

7. you do not need to censor words here. say kill. it's ok.

8. there is a blacklist feature. you can blacklist both entire tags, and words from posts. settings > account, it's under "content you see". if you don't want to see something you can get rid of it forever instead of complaining. enjoy.

9. if you make things: tag fandom, characters, and ships if applicable. add any medium or blog organizational tags after that. add spoiler tags if relevant. this all goes in the Tags bar at the bottom of the post, NOT in the text content of the post itself. ez pattern to remember.

feel free to add on fellow tumblr elders we need to get the newbies acquainted
