Apparently that's called the 'irresistible force paradox'

#oc f/o #f/o art #fictional other #self shipping #self insert #oc #original character #they're patient with me #also I finally draw Hadri with a different form! #I want to do more with their shape shifting but I haven't made much that turns out well #small vent in tags upcoming if you don't want to read #Feeling bad about posting but I shouldn't just give up #In some way social media isn't for me because I take things too personally #but if I'm going to meet people I have some common ground with I don't know where else I'd look #common ground with something that means something to me #I want to meet people that don't suck to talk to #And actively have things they want to talk to me about that we're both interested in #Tired of being just ears. #I'm talking about my family here not anyone on the site btw #I just wish there were people who wanted to talk in the same way I want to talk #same level of energy I guess #Sorry to vent in silly drawings but it is what it is #Fun fact if you read this far...Hadri would like Evangelion #I don't know why that came to mind today but it makes total sense #They're a deity-like person so religion is interesting and they'd be drawn in by the drama #I honestly don't know how they'd examine media since their setting is basically medieval so Hadri's never really watched anything #Maybe a play? #I'd be nice to know what Hadri would think of things I like #But my tastes are very colorful... watched Ind/go Park for example and have it stuck in my head now #Popp/ playtime and Ind/go Park seem to both be going for fnaf Portal and I am feeling something

this pretty much sums up what "the majority of males" think about "feminism" (at least widely perceived(?) on the internet space) in korea and i will never really understand their thought process

and so on

#korea #south korea #misogyny #pinched finger #chefs kiss sign #which apparently means 'laughing at a man for having a small pp' 💃 #can never understand how they practically equate a curled finger to the nazi symbol??? #and how their complaining managed to make the company fire the “damned feminist” artist asap 😔 smh #also what did the “men-hating feminist site” do what the misogynists haven't done already for ages ago to women bc i don't know #like how it was the other way around and still is with how they sexualize & trash talk women as if it was normal behavior #just one frame of a game animation that 'looks similar' to the pose and they go 'ohh clear evidence' and proceeds to do a literal witchhunt #and if the person mentions / have previously mentioned anything about women's rights in their social media #then they go “clear femi evidence!! clear as day!! men-hating discriminator!!” and double down on the backlash #and the companies of korea actually fucking listens to them #ugh #the fuck is wrong with people #i would tag 'men hate' but this is just ridiculous

it boggles my mind that I still see reminder type posts about not consuming Harry Potter content, not because I expected everyone to agree to stop engaging but because I did sort of expect that the people engaging with hp in 2024 would at least have the decency to not grovel on the internet for random transgender bloggers to validate that they're still a good person and not transphobic for liking hp still. like these posts are not redundant they are FILLED with defensive responses and excuses for why actually its fine and its like not only can you not stop engaging with Harry Potter but you also want to be able to post about doing so non-stop and you never ever want to even see a transgender person point out that JKR is actively funding and directly influencing transphobic organizations and legislation. to the point that when someone does you are incapable of simply scrolling by because you need so badly to be reassured that this internet rando doesn't think you specifically are a bad person for doing the thing they said is bad. unreal main character syndrome. if you have committed to being an hp fan fine i am not a cop or your mom and I cannot make you do anything at all. but I am not, nor is any other trans person, going to give you 'permission' or absolve you of your own guilt for doing so. that is your problem to reconcile yourself and is not the job of random trans people. like jesus christ enough already

#good idea generator #this isnt exclusive to hp fans this is a pretty pervasive issue on this site #where someone will be like well i think x action is bad and harmful #and 10000 people will come out of the woodwork to be like well i do x action am i bad 🥺 am i a bad person 🥺 #oh i have to do x action because of [extenuating circumstance obviously not intended by the op] you think im bad you think i should die??? #like. ok you know when any big social movement is getting traction #you suddenly see 100 posts about how actually its okay to not do anything or say anything tumblr is escapism!!! #even though for the VAST majority of users. they are not expected to say or do anything by the ppl who follow them on tumblr #so really the purpose those posts serve is to justify legitmize and spread around the idea that you can do literally nothing ever #and still be a 'good person'. it is to assuage your own guilt #and it serves ZERO purpose other than to detract from ongoing conversations #bc if you were really serious about supporting something but being unable to help in xyz ways for various reasons #you would shut the fuck up!!!! and not post about not being able to do anything!!! #the same way that you shouldnt say that you cant donate to a fundraiser when you share it even if its true and reasonable #bc it makes other people who read that less likely to donate themselves even if they DO have the means #these tags are getting incoherent but hopefully my point gets across idk #i just feel in general we should stop begging internet strangers for absolution. youre not going to get it from there.

i just saw someone say that "the vast majority of the userbase is complaining" about tumblr's recent layout change. i see this a lot after a change: people complaining about it (sometimes without saying what about it is bad, making it sound like either it's self-evident (it usually is not) or just that it's bad because it's change and change is always bad) and saying that everyone else is complaining about it too. i don't know how to tell you this but a) you don't follow every user on tumblr so how can you possibly know what "everyone" or "the majority of users" thinks about anything and b) ONLY THE PEOPLE WHO FEEL VERY STRONGLY ARE TALKING ABOUT IT!! people who are not bothered are not spending time posting about how unbothered they are! please look up "selection bias" and stop making me read this nonsense with my own eyeballs.

#i don't get what's so bad abt this change bc it doesn't bother me & no one is explaining it! the most i've seen is it's 'like twitter' #which people don't like i guess bc this might imply that tumblr could be taking more cues from twitter than just the layout? #which is also fallacious reasoning #some changes i do hate. like for instance the change that made it so i can no longer click to the version that someone rbed from #which breaks the prev tag culture :( #but some changes are whatever! and some changes are good even!! #it's fine if it takes time to get used to something being different of course but it seems like the reaction on here can be so extreme #so fast. 'bombard the app with 1-star reviews!!!!' how about you give it a couple weeks and maybe you'll calm down. #i think there's a sense of 'if it ain't broke don't fix it' but it is broke though! tumblr is unsustainable and they gotta do stuff to make #the site more attractive and easier to use for new users. they can do that without losing what makes tumblr tumblr #the layout is not what makes tumblr tumblr! the functionality is. and sometimes that does change for the worse #and i get having complaints about that. but not really about moving the location of some buttons #anyway i haven't said anything before because i don't have strong feelings about this UX change but i DO have strong feelings about #the vague yet very forceful complaints about the UX change that i keep seeing lol #tumblr #fallacies #anyway don't get distracted by my tags. this post is not really about me not understanding what's so bad about this specific change #it's about people who hate a change assuming that everyone agrees with them because they're only seeing the reactions from #a biased subset of the userbase #(by biased i don't mean the users are biased. i mean the sample is biased...it's highly likely to include people who feel strongly #and unlikely to include people who are neutral or feel less strongly)

OH NO BRO

THE DOOMERISM'S HITTIN ME

#doomerism. reluctantly. #sorry i just. ugh. #thinking about how climate change is making life harder year round #no snow for christmas which means even less moisture in a year #thinking about how the internet is becoming increasingly hostile #whether it's tech corporations making sites unusable #or the worst kinds of fuckheads harassing people that didn't do anything wrong and getting away with it #or how kosa will be back in senate as soon as january and might actually pass #or how corporations are hellbent on killing art and burying it with hype around mergers. #ramblings of the critter #vent #if anyone's wondering i hid this in the tags so you don't have to look at it

[perilegs]

i think most dnd lore sucks ass and i love it when people intentionally ignore or change parts of it. however the little "hey did you know" man in my brain activates when i see someone do it unintentially

#im not giving any examples but this is not about anything i've seen on tumblr #im just saying there is a difference between making a pc who has one human and one tiefling parent #and knowing they can inherit their race from either and their features may lay dormant for a time #and they'll still carry tiefling bloodline and thus their kids can be tieflings even if they got a kid with a human while being a human #vs. doing that and not knowing it #like yeah this is in no way any of my business and i think you should be allowed to do whatever you want to #but doing whatever you want to intentionally is always cooler #leevi talks #i need a tag that is just leevi bitches about something thay doesnt matter and he'll forget about in the next 5 minutes #well ok sometimes stuff done unintentionally is cooler but you know what i mean in this context #it's the going ''omggg what if this happened'' while the thing that has happened is in fact. present in the lore. #i feel like i wouldnt get mildly ''hey did you know xyz'' if i saw literally the same oc on tumblr vs on other sites lmao #bc here? i haven't seen a single tav i don't love

Not sure how long this has been a thing, but in case anyone else likes Fanfiction (dot) Net, just noticed this on my settings page:

Do you wish to receive notifications via email?

Email notifications will be sent to account email for updates to followed stories, authors, forums, forum topics, communities and other features. For example, if you followed story A and when A has a new chapter published, we will send out an alert via email. Setting will be auto reset to no/disabled after 6 months.

It is automatically set to “no”, and you’ll have to opt back in every so often (not super clear how long as this says 6 months but a notice popped up when I opted in that said 90 days sooooo). Didn’t like that they dropped this without warning, so just putting it out there to my handful of mutuals/followers just in case.

#fanfiction #fanfiction.net #not sure there's a tag that really works for this so guess those will do lol #i only noticed because for the first time in two years i actually wrote something #and i was thinking the emailing thing just wasn't working right again because i didn't get my own update like i normally do #but no #they just #turned it off for everyone... #because yeah sure everyone wants that #i mean come on people why else would you follow a story let's not be an idiot here #you follow it so you can get updates #that's... the whole point... #so confused why this is a thing #unless they think they can like weed out a bunch of dead accounts this way or something?? #i have no clue #all it's gonna do is cause even fewer people to use the site #because no one is gonna know that the reason they aren't being notified isn't because there's no activity #it's because ff.net are idiots and shut it off without saying anything #ugh it's late time i need sleep lol

kill yourself Zionist and stay the fuck off my blog.

i’m gonna assume you already know the basic principles of combustion engines: intake, compression, combustion, and exhaust. in standard piston engines, all of the space in the cylinder handles all of those jobs. rotary engines are similar, but each of those jobs occur in different parts of the housing.

the most important parts to know are the rotor, which is the triangle part everyone jokes about, which has three, convex faces, the housing, which is a weird oval shape (also called a epitrochoid!) and is specifically designed so that the three tips of the rotor will always be in contact with it, and the output shaft, which has these lobes on it which the rotor is mounted onto. the housing also contains the exhaust port, and the center piece of the housing contains the intake port.

so, rotary engines use the same four-stroke cycle that piston engines use, they just go about it in a really funny way! as the rotor rotates throughout the housing, it creates three chambers that change size throughout the revolutions, not unlike how the up-down motions of pistons change the size of their chambers as they move.

air/fuel enters the engine through the intake port when the rotor passes by it, and that chamber gets progressively bigger until the peak of the rotor passes, at which point it is sealed off. after that, the volume/chamber begins to shrink and the air/fuel mixture gets compressed as the face of the rotor gets closer to the spark plugs. yes, plural! rotary engines have 2 spark plugs instead of 1! the rotor’s face reaches the spark plugs and then we have combustion! combustion creates gases that need to expand, and the chamber for that grows as the rotor continues along its way. this is where power is created btw! eventually the rotor passes by the exhaust port, all of those gases leave the chamber as exhaust.

here’s a gif from wikipedia if you’re a visual learner:

rotary engines are super neat! their most well-known usage has been in mazda sports cars, mainly the rx-7 and rx-8 (fun fact: the rx stands for “rotary experiment”!) but also from the legendary mazda 787b herself. they’re not the most efficient or reliable engines, but they’re beautiful in and of themselves and i’m so excited that mazda has continued to carry on the legacy of the rotary. i can’t wait to see what we do with this technology in the future :DD

#rosie speaks #tag: automotive enthusiasm #suicide #suibait #i/p conflict #the most absurd part is that they said to stay off their blog but theyre on fuckin anon lol idk who you are #anyways just so we’re clear: i support and believe in a free palestine and i also believe in the jewish right to their indigenous homeland #i do not support the israeli government and i do not support hamas #i also have been regularly donating to help palestinian civillians gain access to esims as well as menstrual products #i’ve been on this site for almost 10 fuckin years lol (since i was 10/11ish) #do you really think telling me to kms means anything? lmao cope harder #i know what i believe in and telling me to kms doesn’t mean shit.

[dabs-into-oblivion]

i think my autism may have made tumblr difficult for me to use in certain ways and i'm having feelings about it

#specifically i feel that i am required to tag every post i reblog accurately so that other users of this site can filter out things they— #—don't want to see #and while i do believe that on balance it does mean that i regularly have 30-50 feral hogs—i mean posts in my drafts that i didn't have— #—energy to tag so i just saved them as drafts instead #and this is beginning to feel unsustainable #i don't want to spend the next however many years until tumblr kicks the bucket with a backlog of posts that i didn't reblog because i was— #—too disabled to tag them according to my somewhat arbitrary standards #idk. i have friends who don't tag anything and unfortunately i don't always enjoy being jumpscared by certain untagged things #but i also don't feel able to ask them to tag their stuff so instead i just try to tag mine and that does actually help #gotta curate my own space in ways that work for me #sighs heavily. if only i knew what worked instead of just knowing what doesn't work and not having energy to fix it #az talks #posts into oblivion

you watch idiot teens try and recreate kink dynamics in five or six different communities, fandoms, and/or subcultures before you reach some point in your twenties hopefully and are like

fuck it, im going to hang out with the other cool adults who aren't terrified of the words top, bottom, and/or dominant. rofl. lmao even. get over yourselves and stop pissing your pants over the thought that other people might fuck and get excited about it. im moving to fetlife

#can't catch me now suckers! #original post #i quit kinkstagram because there were so many annoying teenagers into 'age regression' #more in a minute but like #do not piss your diapers about the fact that #hashtag age regression means something different #to most other people on that site. who are adults. #i wasnt even on for cgl lmao it was just irritating to see these little jerks crying in the kink tags all the time #anyway #the point i want to make with this example is that they're clearly traumatized and find doing more kiddish stuff comforting #you know like the adults? #if you don't get that part you're getting distracted by the diapers too but it's so fucking funny #they seem to have like a whole parallel caregiver/little community with their own terms for the exact same stuff #but very studiously nonsexual #i don't seek this out because im not personally interested in their probably also-horny business (they are teens) #but again they are screaming at you for 'crosstagging' with anything remotely cutesy #i just left rather than trying to waste my time or seriously upset anyone

[hyruviandoctor]

I'm cancelling my Disney Plus subscription at the end of this billing cycle because this bundle is getting too expensive for something I barely use, so I guess I have to catch up on a bunch of MCU I've been putting off for the last year before I do that. Still got Ms. Marvel, She-Hulk, Loki S2, Secret Invasion, and probably some others.

I could try to catch up on Star Wars too, but that's the entirety of Clone Wars, Rebels, Mandalorian, Ahsoka, Andor, and whatever I'm forgetting.

I'm just going to a "I sub just for as long as it takes me to watch the things I care about" model for myself, and that unfortunately means I have to get a month of Netflix just to watch the rest of Stone Ocean. So I'm gonna catch up on a bunch of Netflix stuff I've missed over the years of not having it.

#I've been forcing myself to have TV time lately #which sounds silly but if I don't do it then I won't watch anything even though I really want to #because my brain now equates watching TV and movies to being too passive and therefore non-poductive and I'm trying to squash that #healing your brain sometimes means doing wild things that most people try to do the opposite of #anyway I'm also going to use this site more like it was intended: as a personal blog #obviously still going to do what I normally do #just expect to see more of me almost journaling like this #Tyler Talks #is my tag for personal posts so if you really don't care then mute that tag #but you're always welcome to interact with my personal posts that's why I make them posts

I don't know if you've seen the latest iteration of "tumblr is dying" but if you haven't, Automattic (owners of tumblr) have decided they will put the site into maintenance mode. This doesn't mean that tumblr will disappear, it just means that they'll keep the lights on and that's about it. They're taking the staff who have been working hard to try to make the site a success, and they're relocating those folks to other projects. A skeleton crew will remain on tumblr, keeping the site alive.

If we want tumblr to thrive, however, then we need to do something to support it - and that something is financial.

If you're someone who enjoys your time on tumblr and you're someone who has an entertainment budget, then consider visiting the TumblrMart and buying yourself a badge. Go ad-free. Choose the new option that I just discovered which is "Support tumblr" - that's the shiny t badge I now have that will change colour over time for the longer I subscribe.

This doesn't require every single user to pay for tumblr. Far from it. Just look at AO3 as the example. Time after time, they hit their fundraising goals and beyond, and I don't think they've ever had more than 10K individual donors for a userbase of something like 5 million.

I've been on this site for a decade. It's the only social media I actually like. I think the internet would be worse off if tumblr wasn't around. I'm going to pay what I can to keep this community around, and I'm going to encourage others to do the same.

If that's something you don't want to see, then feel free to block the tag subsidize tumblr that I'll use on posts like that. If you're open to the idea, then expect the occasional post from me on the subject.

Fandom has lost enough homes in my lifetime. If I can do anything to keep this one around, I will.

#subsidize tumblr #deliberately not using the word support here #in order to avoid being derailed #if at all possible
