One of my favorite photos from Dey Mansion, featuring myself and my fellow 22nd fifer serenading our lady of the regiment (credit to the Passaic County Facebook page).

#trying to post more ‘original’ content when I can #god I look so young in uniform I promise I am an adult #but I do look very much like a 12 year old boy #anyway this was my favorite photo that didn’t feature my face all that much #god save the cheshire regiment #awi #historical reenactment #dey mansion #redcoatposting

Hi-Fi Rush really said "let's make a rhythm game that's made with such love and passion for music, has good characterization and growth, the humor and character designs are fun, the enemy battles are creative, the main villain is defeated through the power of friendship, and it contains tons of bonus content with no microtransactions, all for half the cost of an AAA game" and it fucking slapped

#hi fi rush #i'm still thinking about it #my partner has been going through each stage again on the hardest difficulty & getting new content. its like! its so fun! its so fun #i miss when games didnt cost 60-70$ and had fun/passionate/creative stories and no microtransactions. bah #the running gag of cnmn always drawing his expressions was so funny it literally never got old. also korischa & peppermint & macaron are #all so hot. the villain fights were sooooo fun & creative too & theres a jojo parody villain thats HILARIOUS! also 808 my beloved #like its not that deep but also it is???!! at the same time. ive been watching him play it while our cat with cancer has been on my or his #lap so its been like. extra sentimental for me. cats still doing alright now but we dont know when thatll change #anyway excuse me rambling about the action rhythm game that dropped out of nowhere last month #tc posts #hfr

ancient relic of the past (this 2018 art of jade homestuck) is circulating a bit, soi decided 2 redraw it 4 fun! ^u^

#jade homestuck #homestuck #my art #fan art #redraw #dont follow 4 homestuck content the insanity has left my body+I only revisit it briefly on occasion #like feel free to follow. but know i mostly rb text posts+post art that isnt homestuck-based anymore #too tired to really get into the rendering weeds but the point comes across and the original wasnt all that rendered either so tee hee! #part of me wants to cringe when i see old stuff going around but like. if i truly cared that much i'd just delete it or turn off reblogs #and i dont do that because another part of mes really happy shit i made oh got 2018 was 5 years ago. sorry. #anyways it makes me happy that shit i made ages ago still makes people happy! ^u^

I feel that I have to put a message for incest/pedo shippers in my posts, because they just keep coming. Although I always thought it stupid to put those sentences, they don't make posts look good. But I am tired. Why are there so many and they don't stop coming?

#I don't know where to put my anger about everything happening right now so proshippers are a target in my blog now #also I am upset I can't block them so they won't reblog my stuff #they still can have my stuff #also discouraging seeing cool artists have that kind of content although it's old but I don't know #I am a hypocrite anyway: if I know that some cool creator is into that but does it rarely I will swallow the bitter pill and carry on #a bit worried that I may be so done to the point of losing interest in fandom (like it happened with the untamed fandom) #the downside of wanting more attention from fandom #my apologies for venting again #I can't find a safe place for my mind #with the brain like mine I can't even go touch grass in peace #in my defence those people didn't put warning in blog description and didn't put tags so they could be filtered #I think it's a basic respectable thing to do #also to mind my own blog description or pinned post where I asked them to go away #I understand that I am acting infantile #ah whatever it is a very minor problem truly #as I said I can't vent about all other things so I find a thing like this and bite on it

Also I may or may not have finally managed to extract the sound files from Far Cry New Dawn and Far Cry 6…

#not only that but I have ‘spbarkmanager’ ‘oasisstrings’ and ‘97075B0E5B711CA4’ #aka the holy trinity #if you combine their powers you can find any sound file in any language in just a few seconds #and even some cut content #so now I’m UNSTOPPABLE #ha... in fact it seems I know exactly what I’m supposed to do with my life now #aside from posting more old art and unreleased content found in oasisstrings and theories and analyses and screenshots #and that 'john seed megapost' I started writing months ago and need to finish #not to forget the maps of the seeds’ bunkers... which are coming very very soon by the way ;) #oh yeah and there’s that other real-life thing called work I guess :’) #I have so much things to do but it feels great for some reason #anyway so we have approximately 27000 .wem files for fcnd and 90000 for fc6 #I’m definitely NOT converting all the .bnk files this time #for fc6 I don’t think I have the lost between worlds expansion though #I haven’t even bought it... #and HUGE THANKS to the people who made FCBConverter #seriously you’re the real heroes

@tumblr @staff since you seem to LOVE creating recommendation tabs where you can algorithmically go wild

AND you are also eagerly courting new users (frequently to the detriment of longtime users but it's whatever right?)

so, since one group that is currently being underserved (or even driven away) by like ... every app/site out there INCLUDING this one is artists who are trying to make a living out of their art

WHY NOT make an 'ART' tab that is solely made up of posts by artists?

let people choose to opt their posts out of the tab and slap a very basic filter on it, similar to the gifsearch one maybe, so people can look for art of specific things

this would give artists a boost in visibilty AND appeal to like ex-twitter/insta users who want to scroll fanarts or cool original works or whatever - and if someone wants to commission some artz for themselves they can click through to the artist's tumblr for info

i think if you are very lenient with the moderating, tumblr could pull a LOT of the twitter refugees who just need a place to get their work in front of interested people's eyes

#art #tumblr #art on tumblr #i've seen so many artist who are like - where do i go now? #and tumblr has said that basically anything 'art' i.e. not actual images of real genitals is supposedly ok i think??? #so yeah you should be able to post sexy arts - with appropriate community labels - and get your commissions up and running? #i think a dedicated art tab could really appeal to a lot of users #although then you have to worry about ai maybe? not sure if tumblr is vulnerable that way but #probably based on all the clones you see when you google an old post or image #but i think twitter would have the same issue? idk #anyway i don't like algorithmic content but since you guys seem DETERMINED to mine ghe peopke that do #maybe this could be a compromise? bc longtime users would probably love basically the gifsearch function but for art #(not to add to a post OBVIOUSLY i mean to like and reblog and maybe throw some money at some art people)

being both gnc and trans is so hard sometimes. it's like, I'll face adversity for being gnc/trans/whatever-strangers-read-me-as, and in addition to the normal base-level difficultly and pain and fear of these experiences, I'll also feel on some level like it's "my own fault" too because this is what I purposefully decided to be.

I often dress/act like a girl but have a deep voice/facial hair/flat chest -- and I opted in for all of those. I spent more money than I can conceptualize in order to medically transition in those ways. while, in theory, I could've saved the money, not transitioned, continued dressing/acting the same way as I do now, and the problem would no longer exist... in theory. ofc logically I know that's not at all how it works. if I hadn't transitioned I would feel even worse. and the way I'd experience & express gender would still be intrinsically different from "cis girl" -- that's true regardless of how my body looks or sounds. which should all go without saying, because I very obviously don't conform to my CAGAB either. if I did I wouldn't be in this mess!! u know?

...but the self-blame is still there, because for better or for worse I did go out of my way to become myself. <- feels like a truism.

#the other big self doubt-y issue I've been experiencing lately re: being gnc and trans #is feeling like I'm ''faking'' something. to sooo many people I've just come out as a femme/nonbinary man #with no mentions of my cagab cause that's not something I like to share around irl lol #and then I complain ofc about how I'm treated for being feminine. and everyone gives me sympathy which is nice #but it's hard to fully accept cause I wonder how many of them are assuming I was shunned the same way growing up. #when in reality I was punished for not being feminine *enough*. #and ik it shouldn't/doesn't matter in this context. I still struggled then and I still struggle now; they don't cancel out #but it almost feels like I ''tricked'' my way into a marginalization that I don't ''actually'' belong in. idk #like as if I'm ''secretly'' a girl and just pretending my normal girlhood is subversive for attention #or like I should have just been content with the relative safety of my assigned social role #(hm... where have I heard ''why can't you just be ok with being a girl?'' and ''they're just doing it for attention'' before 🤔) #it's def leaps of logic & self-directed transphobia all around but it's hard to shake #and there's a real fear somewhere mixed into it all too of ''what if someone finds out my cagab and decides I'm not actually trans/a man - #- by *their* transphobic logic. even if they previous supported me''. #anyway I hope no one minds the long vent-y post. I needed to sort out my emotions here lol #I have an old ''omg I love being confusing and ambiguous XD'' post gaining notes rn for some reason and #seeing it again while mentally working thru the above just made me feel ill and confused and guilty. feeling better now <3 #and I do love being trans & I love being a femme & I love being a man with a broad and fluid gender #it's just hard too sometimes

#why is it that only extremely outdated things with small fandoms are the only things that activate my desire to participate hahaha #like now that I'm on a creatures 3 game kick and looking for content online #it's both fun to have to hunt for all these old blogs and defunct websites etc but also like #omg there's like NOTHING out there for so much of it like lets plays are almost nonexistent #And the official info is hard to find as well #And it's making me seriously consider becoming a let's player of creatures #Because I have so much fun with it even though I know it's extremely frustrating as well and nobody would probably even care or watch it ha #But I do think it's a genuinely interesting game and it's not that easy to get into it either. So it would be actually helpful to people #If I put content out there #anyways I appreciate the people who HAVE made helpful blogs and videos and whatnot about the game so much #That I'd be glad to feel I was doing the same for somebody else #And I know this has absolutely nothing to do with death note but since this is my only active fandom presence I'm posting about it here #I'm like opposite of those people who need to be in relevant busy fandoms to have fun I come to life when the room is mostly empty #And im free to peacefully look around and figure out what I think is missing or could use some sprucing up #p

I hate being an artist while simultaneously having ADHD (very badly too) I can have 10k followers and have like a million likes on every single post I create and I still would take months to remember to post.

#🍒.speakz #actually adhd #adhd content creators... literally how do you do it #Everytime someone is like oh guys I have adhd! and they POST EVERYDAY IM LIKE HOW #i actually need to know which black magic you're using #anyway i got a new phone so all my old srt stuff is... on there... #maybe I'll uh #post it later so my art blog doesn't dry up

Exile: If Cayde was roped into Haunted, thinking his Nightmare would be Sundance.

I wrote this on June 16th and I've finally accepted that I'm just not going to finish fleshing out Haunted yet. This was supposed to cover Sundance as Cayde's Nightmare as well, and her taunting him over his failure to protect her or his student and how he gave up trying to defend them. I'm just gonna leave the rest of this post unedited, but I'd be down to answer asks about her or the rest of Haunted?

And since you fuckers in the Content Box gave me the idea of the Speaker embodying Wolf's fear that they're the one who let this happen, and I can't imagine anything else anymore, we're keeping all of the above!

So, this post is gonna be about the horrible ideas our beloathed Content Box gave me about Haunted yesterday, if you couldn't tell! However, if anyone has any ideas for how therapy for this stuff goes, let me know! because i have no idea.

Alright! So, Cryptid pointed out the possibility of Wolf as Zavala's Nightmare, but. The Nightmare was never about Safiyah - it was about Hakim. And here, Zavala sees Wolf as... well.

Here me out here. Split the focus, and have Safiyah taunt him about both. He failed both, and he will inevitably fail the City because who can he save, if he can't save his children?

Zavala refutes that, the Young Wolf wasn't his kid, just a student he failed - She doesn't let him get through that sentence. The moment failed leaves his lips, she doesn't let it go. Mockingly calling the Young Wolf proof that Hakim was never meant to live, that the happiness was never meant to last; that Zavala is the same man that killed his son back then, even now, and he won't ever change - Even if he kills Wolf, too. Even if he kills his people.

He was meant to destroy the people he loves.

Nightmares are your personal truths, which you deny and bury, given form through your memory of someone. Safiyah was always wise, Ghaul was always wise - The Speaker was always wise.

I think some dialogue I accidently wrote at 2 in the morning while thinking about the Speaker as Wolf's Nightmare says it?

They stole your choice.

"…you did, too…"

You let us.

"I didn't know any better! I didn't… I didn't… didn't know…"

Maybe he didn't choose wisely, afterall.

"Don't drag Ghost into this-"

He dragged you into this. But you don't blame him. You don't blame any of them.

"They were just-"

And you still protect them. I once said Zavala's faith was unshakable, but look at him now. Look at you now, and what he has done.

"…just… protecting the City-"

You conquered every threat beyond their walls, and yet you let them fell you. The ones who were supposed to protect you back.

Also, before anyone (specifically ME, the fucker who can't leave Lore alone) goes, "But they need to dispel the Nightmares for Calus" - hear me out (again) At the end of Haunted, Calus connects anyway. Maybe not the the Lunar Pyramid, but his connection to the Leviathan is gone. Maybe the Witness grabs our Big Boy at the end for Lightfall? I... am open to ideas, because... Zavala isn't healing that wound. Hakim and Safiyah, sure, but not Wolf. Not now. And since all those Nightmares needed to be Memories for the sever to work... I need a different way for Calus to ascend to Disciplehood.

Not to sound violent or overly angst-ridden but if Crowley had been less depressed in his last few seasons (especially in the sense if his 10x22 red eyes moment had led to him reverting to his more callous ways) then there could have been a moment where Crowley just snaps at Dean and personally I’d like to have seen it. Some small instance of bullying or harsh disregard from Dean that just pushes Crowley right over the edge, and in a cold seething rage Crowley just lets himself take out all his hurt and loneliness and heartbreak on Dean and beats the absolute shit out of him. And this would be REALLY intense like,, Crowley would be literally so emotionally furious to point where he’s actually dangerously close to tears in this. He doesn’t stop himself, he rants his hatred the entire time, and just uses his full demon powers to reduce Dean to a bloody crumpled mess probably with the at least partial intent of killing him, despite how much Crowley loved him, if only to just finally be rid of him in a very “kill your problems” kind of way. I don’t know if Crowley could actually be able to bring himself to deal the final blow but part of him would want to SO badly. Maybe he could do it on an impulsive split-second whim (which would be so entertaining and spicy to me personally) but if he paused for even one moment to think about it he’d never be able to. But maybe just making Dean hurt and burning that bridge completely would be enough.

#Girl help one of my old DrowIey posts is going around. Anyway #Dean critical #The thing is that Cas deserves to do this also but he just #never would. Unfortunately #Crowley though? He certainly could #I just think Dean deserves to start an exciting new career as a punching bag for all the people he treated like garbage <3 #My posts #In my perfect spn there would have been a flashback scene of Rowena similarly torturing and killing Crowley’s father c. 1700 and this would #be an intentional parallel to that. #But hffhfnfgdhs I really should just axe all my DrowIey posts at this point…… I can still sympathise with the earnest shippers though #I don’t necessarily want to deprive them of earnest content because there’s so little of it #Every time I see one of those posts in my notes though it just gets me so pissed 😭 #The thing is that Crowley is literally too good for Dean in every way
