At some point in tumblr history, the tumblr cycle of hipster media consumption added a component of "mandatory moral value" to its justification for praising or hating anything, which has made it exhausting to come across countless displays of mental gymnastics to justify, morally and ethically, why liking or not liking whatever piece of media (or part of it) makes you essentially a good or a bad person.

The cycle was always there, but it went from this

to this

and sometimes I think we're past it and then I go to a tag and come across some manifesto that makes me feel like I'm in hell.

Honestly Peter/Roger should be way more of a ship imo. I know we barely got to see them interact in Dialtown but you cannot tell me Peter bringing up his wife was looking to spice things up in the bedroom or whatever wasn't a direct attempt to rizz him up that just completely flew over Roger's head (or maybe it didn't and Peter just chickened out. The possibilities are endless. I'm shaking you by the shoulders are you listening to me❓‼️)

#luly talks #dsaf #peter kennedy #roger jones #dialtown #i originally was making a different post just being vague rambling in the tags but then i hit post forgettign I'd hit post limit #and lost it 👎 so now im being straight forward and spewing my gospel 👍 #but I'll say it the world of phoney on phoney is so unexplored #this one is so funny to me bc i also do ship jack and roger or rather acknowledge just how badly he wanted that phone #the hater brothers seeing the nicest little guy ever: i want him. #that's the reason why peter won't let roger meet his brother btw territorial beast/JOKE #queued this for nearly 4 am who gives a fuck

Fusion Therapy Chapter One: Amazonita Accident

Disclaimer #1: For the sake of this fic, Peridot is demisexual and demiromantic.

Disclaimer #2: Amazonita is not my creation. She was created by @robinzuper: https://www.tumblr.com/robinzuper/738537132193431552/lapis-lazuli-peridot-fusion?source=share

A preface: I recently binged all of Steven Universe and I absolutely love it. This four-part fic is a love letter to everything I love about the show. Chapters two, three, and four will be published in the coming days. Enjoy!

Peridot laid on the truck in front of the television, waiting. She was tired of waiting.

“Lazuli! Hurry up you clod!” she shouted.

“I’m not done yet!”

“I have been waiting! For two hours!”

“You’ll have to wait longer! I’m still checking crops!”

Peridot grumbled and then flailed around, rambling incoherently, with several “clod”s thrown in. Then she sighed and floated her tablet to her. She started watching cat videos, and got into it, giggling. She turned it off as soon as she heard Lapis Lazuli coming closer. She loved the sound of her water wings flapping; there was nothing like it. Peridot floated her tablet away.

“Peridot, I’m-”

“You’re ready!”

Lapis Lazuli smiled.

“You look eager.”

“It’s the season finale! How could I not be excited?!”

“Do you think Pertricia and Lauren Luli are finally gonna get together?”

“It has to happen! They’ve been friends for so long! They’ve been through so much together! All they had was each other when they both lost their homes; they have to get together!”

“They had other friends, didn’t they?”

“But there’s nothing like each other! Here, let me explain to you my 95 reasons why.”

“The show’s about to start. Maybe later.”

They laid on the truck together, watching Camp Pining Hearts. They were both so immersed in it. Peridot almost forgot to put her arm around her. Almost.

“What are you doing?” Lapis Lazuli asked.

“This is a human ritual called ‘cuddling’. I thought we might try it.”

Lapis Lazuli said nothing, just blushing her blue blush, but completely stopped paying attention to the show. Soon after, she put an arm around Peridot, and soon after that, looked at her face. Peridot was blushing green all across her face, pretending to watch the show. Lapis Lazuli smiled at her, still blushing.

Suddenly, a white glow. Their bodies melted, their gems moved around. Amazonita opened her eyes on the bed of a truck. She looked down, saw her four arms, of a color between blue and green, and started hyperventilating. She felt her face, felt glasses and the peridot gem in her forehead, and hyperventilated more intensely. She started screaming. She screamed and screamed. Camp Pining Hearts was forgotten. Amazonita fell off the truck, screaming the whole time, and unfused as she hit the ground. Lapis Lazuli was still screaming. Peridot got up as quickly as possible and ran to her.

“Lazuli! Are you okay?!”

Lapis screamed.

“Lazuli, I’m here!”

“Go away!” Lapis Lazuli shouted, tears collecting in her eyes.

Peridot also teared up.

“I’m calling Steven.”

Peridot floated her tablet to her, and called Steven, panting, with sweat on her face.

Steven was in his house, snacking, while Garnet stood on the warp pad. Pearl had her head in the door to the bubbled gem room.

“Amethyst! Let’s go! You can talk to bubbled Jasper after the mission!”

Steven’s phone buzzed. It was Peridot. He answered it.

“Steven, Steven, Steven!”

“Hi Peridot!”

“Clod, clod, clod!”

“Peridot, what’s wrong?”

“Steven,” Garnet said.

“Just a minute!”

“Steven you have to help!”

“What’s wrong?”

“Lazuli and I were watching Camp Pining Hearts, and we were cuddling, and then we fused, and then she started screaming, and please help I don’t know how to fix it!”

“On it!”

Steven hung up.

“Peridot’s in trouble!” Steven shouted, running onto the warp pad.

“What?!” Amethyst shouted from the other room.

“Actually, Lapis is in trouble! We have to go help!”

Amethyst rushed out of the room and onto the warp pad.

“Pearl, hold down the fort,” Garnet said.

“Wait, but-”

Steven, Garnet, and Amethyst warped to the farm. They ran to Peridot and Lapis Lazuli. The blue gem was hunched over and crying into her hands, while Peridot looked on with an incredibly worried expression.

“Lapis! What’s wrong?”

“I don’t wanna fuse again,” she said through her tears.

“You don’t have to fuse with anyone,” Steven said.

“I’m a terrible person!”

“No you’re not!”

“Come on, Peridot, let’s leave them be,” Amethyst said, tugging on her arm.

Peridot looked back to Lapis Lazuli sadly, then walked off with Amethyst.

“I don’t want to hurt Peridot.”

“You remember being Malachite, don’t you?” Garnet said.

Lapis Lazuli nodded.

“Fusing with Jasper was very difficult for you.”

“I hate Jasper.”

“Peridot isn’t Jasper. She cares about you. And you care about her.”

“That’s why I don’t wanna fuse with her! I don’t wanna hurt her! I don’t wanna fight her!”

“You don’t have to.”

“I, I!”

Lapis Lazuli looked at her hands.

“It’s okay, Lapis,” Steven said. “You don’t have to do anything you don’t want.”

“I can’t!”

Lapis Lazuli stood up. Steven wrapped his arms around her.

“I’m here.”

“No! Let go of me! I don’t want to fuse!”

“We’re not fusing.”

Their gems started glowing.

“No!”

Lapis Lazuli shoved Steven away and took out her wings.

“Lapis!”

She took off.

“No!”

Garnet put her hand on Steven’s shoulder.

“Let her go.”

“But!”

“She’ll be back.”

💟💘 PROMO TIME 💘💟

💟 - Name is Luly, or Nemo. I'm a latino poly + bisexual + aro little guy who goes by they/he (mostly)!

💟 - This is my self ship sideblog! I interact from @the-acid-pear <3

💟 - I've been self shipping for about... 3 years now? I kept it 100% personal during my first year but now I've decided I want to stop being such a sad little shy animal and make this post.

💟 - I mostly just ramble about my F/O's and my main self insert, Lil Luly! Or L.L., as I like to shorten it. In fact, THIS WHOLE BLOG is just me talking about them and their relationships. There's so much lore . . .

💟 - I can also draw but i really rarely do because art is my biggest passion and burden at the same time. And I also can write but no I can't. 👍

💟 - I have plenty of F/O's and whoever I'm focusing on depends heavily on my current hyperfixation. At the moment, DELTARUNE is my main fixation and my main F/O's are Spamton and Seam (and Jevil, but that's platonic-)

💟 - I have a carrd but it's very outdated. You'll have it easier just looking at my tags tbh.

💟 - Asks are encouraged!! I really mean it when I say talking about L.L. (or my other S/I's!!!) and their different relationships is my passion.

Some general disclaimers!

💟 - I'm mostly ok with sharing any of my F/O's ^_^

💟 - Beware for a LOT of horny talk, including whatever kink I remembered I had at the moment. My tagging system is very straightforward so block tags at your heart's content.

💟 - There exists a big overlap between L.L. and me, sometimes I do use first person pronouns here, but we are individual beings.

💟 - This is an extremely personal blog. I'm trying to be brave and stop trying to hide it bc i don't want to have the personality of a male action protagonist so please be gentle with this trembling little animal that is Me.

#💟.txt #self ship promo #self ship community #self promo #wooo lookit guys. i did the thing ! #I'm gonna freeze like a deer in the headlights the moment this blog gets 1 note more than the usual LMAO anyway

I'm currently in chapter 27 of gideon the ninth (as per @lady-harrowhark 's recommendations) and these are my personal character appreciations at the moment, which will probably change in time, but still:

judith: a fool who thought she could mess with camilla the sixth

marta díaz (that's how I pronounce it in my head, I'm a Spanish speaker, give me a break): a bigger fool who got rightfully ended by camilla the sixth

regina george twin: I have had enough of her

chad the third: fuck this guy in particular, he's the absolute worst

silent yandere simulator twin: kinda maybe stan her a little bit ngl

baby isaac: rip 1, guy got brochetted

baby jannemary: rip 2, sad for this one in particular

abigail: rip 3, she seemed nice

magnus: rip 4, he was a baking cavalier and since this wasn't high school musical, he couldn't win against the status quo

palamedes: turbonerd, feels like a guy I would have shared a philosophy class with in uni

camilla: the icon, the legend, the moment, the wind beneath my wings, she's everything that's right

dulcinea: my personal enemy, I have never trusted her, I will never trust her, she could be killed in front of my eyes and I will still think she has an agenda

protesilaus: his entire personality was the live reaction meme, currently he's live reacting from an unknown location

mayonnaise uncle: the most disagreeable man in the know universe but not as bad as chad, because this guy at least knows some things

duracell bunny nephew: he's there sometimes

harrow: I have to admit, I have criticized her in the past, but I have learned to understand and share her state of paranoia, distrust and anger towards those around her who can't keep up

gideon: she's dense but she's got the spirit

edit: there is now a tag for this I suppose, until someone hates me too much for my live reacting

#I tried to avoid spoilers but maybe tagging things was a bad idea because tags seem to have spoilers #:/ #also please be kind #tlt #gideon the ninth #luly rambles #the locked tomb #luly reacts to tlt

I haven’t watched Strange World yet but the conservative newspapers that are blaming the inclusion of an (apparently) openly gay lead on a Disney animated film for it’s box office failure are doing more marketing for Strange World than Disney is doing, which is very telling of a lot of things

half of the people talking about it online are like “it’s losing money because it’s woke!!” the other half are like “Disney released a new movie????”

#luly rambles #I knew about the film but not about the gay lead until all this situation #maybe it was a spoiler?

Yesterday I came across someone’s experience of paying for art commissons of their fat characters and, upon receiving them, finding out that the artist had drawn them as thin. 

I thought it would be a good idea to list some of the artists on tumblr that I follow/reblog from who include fat designs in their art always, not only when it is commissioned to them (which I found out is a good indicator of the respect they actually have). Some of them do commissions, others sell their own products. 

I thought that this would not only help those who want to commission or buy art but also those who simply want to follow artists who post fat designs without having to search the tags and encounter an immense amount of fatphobia and highly hateful content (if you regularly search the tags, you know what I’m talking about). 

If you are an artist who includes fat characters in your art, especially if you do commissions, please reblog this post and add yourself to the list. If you don’t use tumblr frequently you can also add another handle or link for people to be able to find you and contact you about your work!  As a side note for whoever needs the heads up, not all of the platforms are completely sfw.

back by popular (?) demand, I am now starting chapter 28 of gideon the ninth and I guess I'm sharing updates to the general public now ( @lady-harrowhark this is your responsibility). I think I'm gonna put them under this tag because I am being told I will want to look back on them later (sounds threatening ngl).

previously, in gideon the ninth:

isaac was ended by some junji ito shit

jannemary was ended by a stealthy junji ito shit

very pointed messages were written for them

which is too dramatic to be a random monster killing, if you ask me

gideon took a 15 minute nap and was startled awake in hell

gideon most definitely did not look much at the room before she took said nap, nor did she remember the paper she's still carrying around

I'm losing my mind at the paper

I'm like watching another d&d player choose to never look at something the dm gave them

were we are now:

gideon is back, now with More Trauma

harrow has the compassion of a feral kitten

this is a bad combination for me, personally, in particular, because this means gideon is going to look for comfort in my mortal enemy dulcinea

she gives her a talk that is trying to distract me from the fact that I don't trust her, but I will never trust her

she was like "it'd be better to die here than to be living longer and trapped" and I was like "wanna let me help you with that?"

palamedes has also been carrying a dulcinea boner, which also makes things difficult for me

because if my mortal enemy ends up being bad and dangerous, and palamedes is in danger, it would force camilla to be in danger, and we don't want, under any circumstances, to put camilla in danger

mayonnaise uncle has been gossiping in the eighth and ortus's mom (where I'm from, 'orto' means 'ass', so I will never forget his name) spilled the beans on the ninth

he offers gideon literal tea with a side of the metaphorical tea

here's where I went "boy, I sure hope harrow doesn't push gideon away and gives her a reason to turn to these guys"

harrow proceeds to do just that

with clockwork precision

I cannot emphasize enough how meticulously she did this

if pushing people away was an olympic sport, and if that was the way to judge this competition, this book would be 10 pages long because harrow has mastered the craft

you could hear gideon's psyche becoming dust

needless to say, we're having tea with the eighth soon, everyone bring your scones and poison

which, you know, fine, at least gideon will be told information

and btw, protesilaus is still live reacting from an unknown location

idk what regina george twin, yandere simulator twin and chad the third are doing but, at this point, I don't know what anyone is doing, really

except for dulcinea, I JUST KNOW she's up to no good

and the second is probably still dealing with the fact that they lost to Camilla The Everything

Gonna be a bit confrontational over here but a lot of the people who defend new paywalls from platforms that didn't have them and make it seem like not supporting that is automatically disrespecting the work that goes into making said content just have themselves the money to pay for it.

Respect for content and their creators's need to make a profit of their work doesn't magically give people money to give them if they don't have it.

Those people who are like "paying for this is like paying for your morning coffee" make me laugh because it implies that 1) they buy like starbucks coffee every morning, which is an expense I cannot fathom and 2) they think that the US$ isn't an insane hurdle in itself for so many people in countries in which their currency is at a wild disadvantage in comparison to it.

Don't make it seem like not having the money to afford something that isn't a primary necessity and stating how unfair it's becoming that things that used to be accessible aren't anymore is the same as feeling entitled to someone's work or disrespecting it.

Maybe I'm wrong but I do believe that the indiscriminate monetization of content creation online has become so normalized and unquestioned in people's internet use that it's making people judge as morally reprehensible when someone literally cannot pay for a service.

#you know what I'm talking about in this particular instance #luly rambles

[starberry-cupcake]

this is all pointless garbage but for the past decade+ that I've been using ao3, I always assumed the logo was the whole title condensed in a graphic and that people started calling it ao3 because the resulting graphic of all the letters combined looked like it said ao3

this is what I saw for the past 10+ years in my head

which would look like this when isolated in the letters

I thought it was very cool and just assumed that's what it was, that the designer had put all of the letters in one design and people saw an ao3 in it and rolled with calling it that

I was today years old when I found out it's meant to be this:

The logo for the Archive was designed in 2009 by coder volunteer Bingeling with input from Accessibility, Design, & Technology committee members. Fun fact: it was originally intended as an interim design until a permanent logo design could be created, but everyone liked it so much that it stayed. It combines the characters A, O, and 3 with arms raised in celebration, symbolizing the joy of fannish creation on the Archive. The acronym "AO3" comes from the initials of the English site title Archive of Our Own–an A and three O's.

I feel like a dumbass but, at the same time, I liked my delusion of what it was meant to be lol

#luly rambles #archive of our own #ao3 #apparently there's something going on with ao3 today #but just looking at the logo with the site down #made me actually look up what it meant
