[werewolfetone]

hello! i found your blog through the star trek meme post, do u have any recommendations for beginners that would like to actually know what’s going on?

Let me first apologise for taking so long to answer this ask which was sent in uh. february. anyway #1 you should familiarise yourself with northern irish history (thomas hennessy's a history of northern ireland and atq stewart's the narrow ground are good but neither covers the troubles in their entirety; for that the most accessible and comprehensive option imo is peter taylor's trilogy about the subject, which can also mostly be found in documentary form on youtube. say nothing by patrick radden keefe is also very accessible, especially, imo, if you happen to be american) and #2 you should actually listen to northern irish people (online, irl, in the various books & articles which have been published about it, etc) about their politics rather than either assuming you automatically know best or listening to what someone who has 0 experience with the situation thinks. and #3 get your news about northern ireland from somewhere other than tumblr. I really don't care how you do this just pleaseeee the next time someone posts the star trek meme go and actually research whatever it is they've posted it in reaction to because some of the things it's posted for... well they simply don't merit that sort of reaction

Hello everyone <]:) just plopping in one last time to tell you that I'm retiring solarcas for the time being. The spn brainworms left me (they're probably already seeing other ppl smh), and I don't see myself making any new content for it anytime soon and I don't wanna keep a seperate space for it anymore. You can follow my main @masters-calling if you wanna stick around, but no pressure. If you were just here for the desitels I get it <3 I will still rb spn stuff over there occassionally when it crosses my way bc I'm not fully done w it (bc let's be real when is one ever hfkfhfk) and maybe one day I'll revive this blog who knows. If the brainworms ever return. Or if jackles drops the tapes whatever happens first

I'm not deleting this blog now or ever so all my art will stay up here :) thank you for the great time everyone!!! Spnblr, despite its many ups and downs, was a whole lot of fun and allowed me to meet many cool people <33 wishing you all the best!!! 💕👋🏼☀️🫂

#i feel like i need to end this w saying smth grand but. honestly i said everthing there is to say #and who knows maybe i'll just need a break of a month or two and then i'll return. we'll see #i already unfollowed like. 200+ blogs last night to clean my dash from spn fhdkfhfkd i kept the close mutuals tho (i think mist of you #already follow my main anyway xhkffhdk <3) and i already feel much better #i think part of me being so done w this interest is that i focused all my creative energy into it #and while i rly found myself as a fanartist through this it is also an open invite to burnout so. #i feel like i need to find my own artistic voice again. branch out a little and what not #anyway. its been fun!!!! 💕😚 im already missing some of you. esp my blorbos from my notes i had a few under all my art pieces that i had #started to recognise. schnüff #i'll see yall in another life (my main) <333 fhkddh #solar posts #personal

i wanna know what tv show my mutuals would make a mikes mic style long video recap of but i knowwww if i made it a tag game post it would either totally flop or it would end up escaping my little bubble and i would have to interact with the most annoying people this website have to offer. idk just reply to this or send me an ask or something because i do Want to know and i have a feeling there will be a lot of overlaps akdjsjd. mine would be veronica mars of COURSE charting the relationships alone would be so fun

#this includes my honorary mutuals who i don’t actually follow for whatever reason but we interact semi regularly #realised i said Of Course even though i’m pretty sure i am not known as a veronica mars girlie on here #i am i promise #i would also love to do a fairy tail recap i have fun explaining it to my friends irl

[kenobihater]

it's always rlly funny coming back from a break from this hellsite bc i usually accumulate followers in my months long absences, but as soon as i start posting my opinions and hottakes i lose like 10+ followers within a few days 🫶🏼

#i'm not gonna stop tbh bc it's my blog and i'm inherently an opinionated bastard :) #as a teen i used to be pretty afraid of offending mutuals and longtime followers but now that i'm a certified hater and a block #button addict? I Understand Now. unfollowing someone who you don't vibe w/ or blocking annoying ppl is so cathartic! #i havent cared abt followers since i hit like 500 on this blog yrs back. most of my followers are probs inactive at this point so its just #a number. also i get less ppl sending me messages or asks after i shatter their conception that they know me by posting smthn they disagree #with. it's verging on parasocial when a loyal follower gets on my ass so that's always a bit annoying tbh #that said there's a BIG gap between calling me out on something i did wrong vs a simple difference of opinion abt like ao3 donations or #fandom drama in my mind. i welcome the former and actively disapprove of the latter. also: if you don't vibe with any of my opinions feel #free to unfollow or block!! i block a lot of ppl and you shouldn't feel like you HAVE to follow me if i start posting stuff you dislike! #i prommy i won't be offended in the least! #len speaks

[casualavocados]

alright, here comes the long ass super personal and sentimental post absolutely nobody asked for (you’re welcome)

i watched episode 1 of bad buddy the day it aired (1 year ago today!) out of sheer luck. i dont even remember how i discovered it, but my initial thought was: “im bored. it’s 11pm and i dont want to go to sleep. this trailer looked fun. oh it came out today? sure what the fuck.” and i watched it in bed, on my phone. completely fucking unaware of what was about to happen to me and my life - and this honestly amuses me so much when i think about it because let me tell you...

i am NOT one to watch romance for romance’s sake. i really couldnt care less for it tbh. i’m not what i’d call a shipper at all (though i used to be, and if you remember my blog back then i owe you financial compensation bc tbh that whole spectacle exhausted me ANYWAY-). 

romance is just something ive always preferred as a side dish to plot, bc i only tend to like it when it’s super well done, and ive never found any of it very realistic. this was actually pretty unfortunate for past me bc fun fact, i am a little bit of a hopeless romantic, and romcoms are my guilty pleasure. the problem is i also dont like any of them enough to care about them after ive satisfied my initial “i want to watch something cheesy and cute” urge. i’d seen a few other bl’s over the years but only bc i was bored or wanted to watch something gay, and none of them had ever stuck in my mind after i finished them. i actively avoided those fandom spaces so i definitely wasn’t keeping up with what was new. 

(now listen, i have very specific thoughts on bl itself, but im not gonna get into that here (and actually miscellar said yesterday that the bl difference between 2020 and 2022 is unrecognizable and that basically sums it up so i dont have to lmao <3)).

- and ep1 of bad buddy is pretty typical bl! i adore this about it tbh because i was completely unprepared for everything the show was about to pull. my initial reaction was that it was something fun to look forward to every week.

so then-

I dont!! i dont even know how to explain it! ive tried too many times!

but it really is That Bitch, and truly feels like something i’d been waiting my whole life to see. a romantic comedy that was incredibly realistic in the sense of being overwhelmingly human, and also overwhelmingly queer. it’s so effortlessly fucking funny, while simultaneously a very (very very very) layered and emotional story. i will sing its praises to the end of time. it is quite literally the most well crafted show i’ve ever seen, and every time i rewatch it, or go back and reread old meta, im reminded that im not insane believing that. it just literally is that good. it’s such a simple story done so. extremely. well. it’s so ordinary, and that makes it extraordinary, and that was the intention from the start.

but i also have to say, one of the best things about having this show, is getting to be apart of the amazing community i found here loving it alongside me. bc i avoid fandoms. i stick to the places and the people/mutuals i know. i drift through edit tags more than i follow individual blogs. i block people like lightning. i have always had anons and replies off and i enjoy my privacy!!!

and i have talked to more people and made more friends and have had more fun this past year than i ever have before on this site. 

it took me until after bb finished airing to start following people back, but by then i knew which blogs posted what and what i’d want to see more of on my dash - and there are still many many people im not following, or who arent following me, that i talk to! i love each of you so very much, and i want to do a couple special shoutouts, if thats okay. ♥️

SO, in no particular orderrrrrr:

@mrdumpling nuria you were the very first bl-centric blog to follow me, and as such gave me a little bit of a heart attack that day, because i knew you were a popular blog and i Was Not Ready For Attention lol. but im so glad you did! ik we don’t talk often, but i love lurking on your blog and following what you’re interested in, and most especially, sharing this show with you. to say your edits are beautiful is an understatement! i always love to see what you make!! 🧡

@actually-yikes SORA I MISS YOUUUUUU!!! 🌹 i love talking to you, i love bonding over warrior pran with you, i love the edits you make. i think you’re very funny and delightful. seriously. ...im kind of at a loss for words here bc you’re one of the blogs i went to the most while bb was airing, and the first person i followed after it ended. i really just think you’re wonderful, and idk how else to say it! ily!!!💕💕

@miscellar you have some of the best takes ive ever read, and you somehow seem to read my mind and write (in much better words than i ever could!) exactly what im feeling on so many different topics. i love reading your analysis, your criticism, and just in general whatever you have to say. you impress me very much tbh and im always a bit amazed whenever you talk to me. i love sharing meta with you! 💚

@pranparakul KATIIIEEE when you’re not on my dash i miss you. even if you’ve got posts in your queue ill be like 🥺 where’s katie? is she having a good day today? literally it doesnt matter what you post abt, bc your enthusiasm for whatever it is always makes me so happy. keep doing you <3♥️🌸💗💕💜🌸❣💗💜♥️💕

@snimeat GEI. okay we dont talk OFTEN but when we do we talk a LOT. your excitement is sooooooooooooo contagious and it always matches mine and i feel SO SEEN. i think your edits have such a mystical vibe to them...they always make me feel very wistful (in a very good way). luv u 💛

@pranpats Kit!!! your gifs are GORGEOUS. and you are one of the sweetest people on this site. you always say such lovely things in the tags, and i love occasionally coming to talk to you about gifmaking things. you are such a warm presence on my dash! 💜

and of COURSE @grapejuicegay - kk i think we speedran our friendship in the last 6 weeks. idk how we never really talked before, now that i know we were BOTH lurking on each other’s blogs this whole year. i don’t even know what to say that i haven’t already said in our dms. i fucking love talking to you. there are some people you just click with and im so glad you’re one of them. 💙💌💗💖💜💙💕💛♥️🌹💌💖💙💕

there are so many more of you i want to mention here!! and if you read this far please know im probably also thinking of you, and i want you all to know that i have loved every minute watching and sharing this show with you.

im constantly blown away by everyone’s kindness and how welcoming all of you are. this is truly my favorite place to be online. thank you for all the tags on my gifs and meta. thank you for being so warm.

im so happy this little show means as much to all of you as it does to me. happy one year everybody. 🎆🥂💚❤

#julian watches bb #long post #i SAID thered be emotional posts today and i MEANT IT #also huge shoutout to all my wonderful incredible and lovely mutuals and followers #who have stuck around while this show consumed my life #i love all of u i really do #and i love this show with my whole heart #its home to me <3

[imaginarymen]

AAAAA

#Putting this in tags bc I highly do not want this going around for the sake of not getting dogpiled by weird ppl #But idk I do want to say smth ab it @ least so my mutuals know where I’m @ #Yknow I have said b4 that I stay away from ship and fiction discourse but I’m going to say some shit AGAIN #I do think we can and should be able to explore darker themes in fiction and that darker stories r often misinterpreted but like #I think that is very different from just writing shit that treats heavy topics flippantly and without respect for the sake of gratification #I can’t stop u from writing these things but I find that kind of behavior extremely distasteful and harmful #And I understand obvs that depiction of abuse is not romanticization of abuse. Often it’s the opposite #But I find those rare cases of true romanticization incredibly distasteful #So I would honestly prefer ppl who write or condone these sorts of things spare themselves the trouble and not interact w/ me #But also I can’t really control who u follow either so if u do this shit I’ll probs just block u

anonymous asked : why won't you interact with anyone who writes ascended!astarion

the short answer : i don't want to.

the longer answer : i want him to be happy &. healing.

the long answer : exactly what larian said about the ending : it's objectification of astarion which is something i don't want to explore with people i don't trust. it's not even only if you think ascended astarion is sexy or not , he hasn't grown or healed in a way that allows him to see he isn't the sexy vampire seduction trope. he's supposed to be an inversion of that , so allowing him to ascend doesn't sit right with me regarding his trauma. the only time i'd be willing to explore it is with my friends because i know they aren't on the literal objectification side of things or anything else that might make me uncomfortable.

anonymous ask.

#general / ooc : for baldur's gate ! #general / ask : for baldur's gate ! #i am going to ASSUME this is not malicious intent and genuine curiosity #don't blow it 🔪 #i never said i *wouldn't* interact with anyone who does also #i just said i won't write it #in retrospect yeah if i am following someone #who appears to be writing in a way that makes me uncomfortable like i mentioned #i won't write with them at all but i'd like to think #that my fellow a.starion mutuals know what they're doing #regardless at present i'm not close enough with any of them to want to write that either direction

the amount of money i would pay for a wesker project game/show where they show us that whole shabagle with alex and albert and the other kids and  they rly take their time villanizing spencer mainly bc he sucks but also bc i feel like a lot of ppl really dont understand how shitty of a person he was and how he deserved everything that happened to him

#i in no way am here to bel ike uwu poor wesker little peanut uwu bean uwu alex did nothing wrong #no they absolutely did a lot of things wrong #they still were just kids who got taken away and were more or less made into what they became #so i think it would be nice to see and explore #to i think they need to be humanized? not really no #absolute psychopath warcriminals #i just think it's a really interesting story to follow through #lost in nightmares really said edging is not mutual #i just mwah chef's kiss #i alos miss alex and want to see more of her #hi this is my 6th day of an eight day marathon im also exhausted and depressed sorry for havent been around omgf #out.

ok so i accidentally wrote a lot of words on my thoughts about ahsoka (the character, aka my most specialist girl) and to be quite frank i was simply just saying things but i'm going to post them nonetheless because i'm a little bit bored<3

Um so here’s the thing i actually understand ahsoka far better than dave filoni ever could. (JOKE!) but in many ways he is on the same level as rick riordan in that they created interesting characters over a decade ago but as a result of said character’s popularity and the passage of time and far too many interactions with people who don't understand the characters they have lost sight of their own characters yet they continue to put them into new situations—fanon interpretations and all—just because they cant let it go. Um anyways…..

First of all….it has never just been light or dark!!! In a series that’s all about fate vs agency and the lines that blur (especially during times of war), it was so important that ahsoka made the choice to leave the order!! She got out!! She broke the cycle!! For better and for worse!!! She has to learn how to live on her own, without a master and without jedi ideals. She said it herself in season 7 that she only knew how to be a soldier! She recognizes that!! She sees what is wrong with the jedi order!! But when it came down to it, when maul confirmed her worst fears, she couldn't believe him because she was clouded by love/nostalgia/whatever you want to call it. She didn't want to believe him so she chose not to! Ahsoka’s whole path is that she chose to leave and is thus awarded with a level of agency that she in many ways does not want! She doesn't want to have to make those big decisions! She doesn't want the pressure of other people’s lives in her hands!! But she has placed herself on an alternative path and she must make these hard decisions. There is no jedi vs sith, light vs dark, there is just a blurry, messy reality. She is no jedi!!!! She doesn't want to come back to the order in s7! She has her training to rely on, but it was incomplete. She mourns that and yet she would not go back. She’s on her own kid!! So much of the ahsoka novel is her feeling lost and alone and wishing more than anything that she had the words of her masters, and yet it never comes. She has her memories and her gut. At the end she does not choose to be a jedi or a warrior but something else entirely! She has to forge her own path. She was the only one who got out before it all went down. Everyone else was destined to live and die a jedi (i.e. kanan</3). But she is forced to live! She keeps almost dying and every time she is pulled back from the brink! I want an ahsoka that is angry and lost and confused and abandoned! She left but they left her first!!! Anakin left her, betrayed everything they knew! Then he doesn't appear for years and years!!! Where was he when she needed him!!! And then suddenly here he is after all this time forcing her to live again?!?! When she finally could have give up!! She doesn't want a padawan! She’s not a jedi! She’s just a girl who knows nothing but war. She wants so badly to let it all go, to pack it up and give up on everything. But her conscience is constantly pulling her into these messy situations, forcing her to help people. She left the jedi order behind yet the guilt has never left her. She has to make up for it all but she is just so tired!! It never works out!!! I need an ahsoka who finds peace!!! I need an ahsoka who is angry at the jedi, at anakin, at herself!! I need an ahsoka who rejects the mantle of jedi and learns to let go of her past!!! I need an ahsoka who lets anakin rest, who stops cursing his name and looking to him for help. I need an ahsoka who finally realizes that the only way is forward. I DONT KNOW WHAT IM SAYING BUT I JUST NEEDED HER TO YELL AT ANAKIN!!!!!!!

#i dont know if anyone is going to see or agree with this #but believe me when i say i am not looking for beef! #characters can always be interpreted in different ways #i am just tired of the ahsoka novel being overlooked lmaoooo #also i said the character but this was most definitely in reaction to the show so my apologies #also sorry to my mutuals and followers and everyone who has to see me sw posting pls look away #ahsoka series

not to state the obvious but it is truly wild how much better so much of tumblr works when you're. using your main blog like a main blog

#sola said #mutual checker actually shows me my mutuals. i can reply to people and they'll know who i am. #i can MESSAGE people without getting hit by the 'followers only' thing that doesn't recognize if we're mutuals on sideblogs! #no more accidentally posting to main bc it's the auto option whenever i don't use quick reblog. IT SHOWS ME NOTIFICATIONS. #I can send asks. I can BLOCK PORNBOTS IN ONE STEP #also mwah xkit and new xkit for continuing to work even in a new firefox container with a new tumblr account #didn't even have to port any of that over #i've been living the sideblog octopus life for so long #also I just feel a lot comfier personal posting without an audience of 900 people

idk what’s going on with august but I went 2+ years with no male interaction, no traction on the apps, no cuties met irl, and then suddenly im talking to 2 guys and went on a date - albeit shitty- this week alone?? like im not trying to be cocky or something im just super confused about what changed

#also interestingly… the 3 of them are not total strangers?? #like one guy I matched with on hinge was already an IG mutual through community building from years ago but we never spoke/interacted #he said he didn’t realize he followed me (even tho he follows my nonprofits work so uhhh) #and the other guy from hinge was a guy who graduated the same year as me in high school but we never crossed paths #and the third guy is an acquaintance I’ve known for at least 3 years and we became penpals in the spring #and it’s still a friendly vibe but maybe i have a crush on him idk but I’m trying to hang out again?? #ANYWAYS WISH ME LUCK WITH GUY NO. 3 i like him the best #guy no. 1 was arrogant and guy no. 2 is moving to Chicago for grad school and said he’s not dating til he settles down there
