what do i have to do to convince the fandom to draw more Hazel fanart

#pjo #riordanverse #hazel levesque #COME ON PEOPLE #i have blog to run that subsists solely on reblogging like 50% Nico and 50% Hazel art #and right now the drafts are at a solid like 90% nico or nico-and-hazel and 10% hazel-but-not-nico and that will not do #we need some better statistics there is nothing more heartbreaking than going to a blog with lovely pjo art #and searching for their hazel tag and it only turns up exactly one or two drawings and nothing else #meanwhile they have like one billion nicos

Imagine if Telemachus looked a bit like Sinclair. Would retranslate all of Outis interactions with latter.

Girl is living the 'harsh emotionally distant dad' life vicariously through her 19 year old coworker who is probably the same age as her son who she probably hasn't seen ever since he was a tot. To Páthos Máthos or sumthin

#limbus company #outis #sinclair #assorted outisms #i just find it hilarious that outis is beefing with the poor lad on canto iv she's gotten meaner i love it #but anyhow brainrot in the tags time #been reading her base ego's trivia page and find the provided trivia about 'to páthos máthos' inch resting which ill provide here: #The phrase is a variant of pathei mathos (πάθει μάθος 'learning through suffering') a quote originating from Aeschylus' tragedy Agamemnon. #its namesake Agamemnon being the Ancient Greek general responsible for bringing Odysseus (alias: Outis) #into the Trojan War by threatening to kill his infant son Telemachus. #of course since its the fandom wiki it could just be an interesting snippet that won't bear fruit #there's also one post that i remmeber about odysseus being dodging the trojan war draft by feining madness #i have nothing meaningful to say im just pulling info and laying it out on the floor because i dont wanna speculate? because i might get a #thing or two wrong because im not exactly a greek mythos buff #anyways if you've somehow read all of this please feel free to like talk in the comments or reblogs i like seeing people theorize what the #fuck is up with that old woman war criminal

Hey Nineteen, that's 9/11 She don't remember, the much-bemoaned Twin towers fallen, the Little Eichmanns She thinks I'm edgy, but chickens roost at home~

#(this is a Steely Dan thing. see prior reblog for more context I guess) #(tbh ''high towers'' feels less awkward to say aloud for me? even though Twin Towers fits the subject more exactly) #(the ends of the last two lines are references to uhhhh something very very high power-level) #(''Some People Push Back: On the Justice of Roosting Chickens'') (Not An Endorsement Don't @ Me) #(oh yeah also the characterization of Eichmann that Little Eichmanns comes from is Wrong IMO #Arendt sucks in general. I do enjoy Little Eichmanns as an epithet regardless) #(okay I think that's all the disclaimers this needs...) #9/11 #steely dan #my posts

@fitia not only did I not say any of this, I also don't believe this in the slightest. maybe its on me for not putting a star and saying "obv not all X or Y" but my post is complaining about a specific experience with a specific type of person because i was ranting about what I'd just witnessed/experienced. like idk maybe that context and the other personal contexts i'm speaking from dont matter to you and that other person but youre also very much reading an ideology that i do not hold and that frankly doesnt exist in the original post

#angel posts #that thing about making a rant that u expect to get two notes and then it blows up lol #reblogs off just cause i dont want to fill the dash w this #and yeah its only like one response and one rb of that response. but at the same time. #i didnt say that. #and i dont think that. #im talking specifically about one type of person #which other people understood #and the people who know the context of me being Nigerian know Exactly what I'm Talking About

(with my sparkly pumpkins) #rumple's stripes are perfect halloween colours #also I'm not gonna say how long it took me to get the pose in the third pic #but I got it eventually #if you enjoy please consider reblogging #it means so much to me

[tragedykery]

sometimes I think why do my stupidest posts always take off. but then I realise whenever a post starts taking off I also start finding it stupid. like an inverse relationship between the amount of notes on my post & my opinion of it. that and the fact that tumblr users really love stupid posts

#the only posts I think this wouldn’t happen to would be analysis posts but those don’t take off due to obvious reasons #(the amount of people being into a certain piece of media & liking media analysis & wanting to read a post that isn’t two and a half #sentences being. not that big. and also the fact that I haven’t made many well thought-out analysis posts yet lmao) #elli rambles #I am grateful for the ability to turn off rbs tho #whenever I find a post too stupid to continue circulating I can be like teehee no more reblogs for u :3 #(this has happened. exactly once as of now. but it’s nice to have the ability)

said a prayer for Jjong today.

#shinee #jonghyun #idk i don't usually yk. do things like that for people that have passed but it's been six years and it felt fitting somehow #six years ago i was what. 12 about to turn 13???? had already been to a fair bit of funerals but the only ones that had hit me before #this one were the pianist at our church who passed away suddenly from a heart attack and the regional club leader who had cancer #for like three years and passed just as the doctors thought she would go into remission #and those both happened around October/November so. going into the winter season has always been hard for me and Jjong #was no different. #it's gotten better slowly but it still hurts sometimes. some days i wake up and i can't even look at any of his pictures other days #i get up and put his albums on loop and laugh and reblog so many of his antics #it's funny bc when my aunt passed on New Year's in 2019 it was exactly two weeks after the 1st anniversary date rolled around. always has #been but i never noticed until we lost her and we had to go down for the funeral and i basically disappeared off the internet for a good #two to four months sans queue and checking in on Discord and sh*t and that year he managed to keep me sane. sounds f*cked up #but that year it was just me and Spotify and my playlists and Jjong's voice amid it all. i wish i could meet him and tell him in person #that he practically saved my life even tho the fandom was still raw af from losing him but the prayer will have to be enough #you did well Jjong. you worked so hard. you are our pride. love you to the moon and back 🌒🌙 <333

Tw described death, minor mention of weight, drugs, trauma

So two of our traumaversaries are coming up. The second one, our biomom, still really hurts. Idk if we'll ever truly forgive our aunt, her sister and drug supplier, who we feel let our mother down - when our mom accidentally OD'd, it was at that aunt's place, with drugs that aunt supplied.

But right now, what we're feeling most keenly, is over our favorite uncle. The painful part is we can't remember his name. We loved him to bits as a child and we can't remember his name, or his face. It's not exactly like we can call up our dad and be like, hey, remember your brother who died in that hunting accident when he fell out of a tree and broke his neck? What was his name again?

It's weird though. Took us awhile to be able to climb a tree again after that, but we used a rule of thumb: never trust a branch thinner than your wrist. And we applied that, symbolically, to other situations - mostly in hindsight after trusting what we shouldn't have trusted:

Don't trust people who might break and let you down.

Don't trust situations where you could be hurt if your composure breaks.

Don't trust in facts you can't 100% depend on.

We try, around this time of year especially, to live up to the lessons we've learned from those two. Learned to be wary of things we can get addicted to from our mom. Learned to climb with caution from our uncle. And we try to live a life they'd be proud of. I think our mom especially would be proud of our progress from shy little twig of a kid to confident... Uh... "well rounded" adult. We're not particularly outdoorsy like our uncle was, but we're at least no longer pale as a piece of paper now.

But it's hard, still, when we feel so guilty for forgetting that uncle's name.

#Personal please do not reblog #Tw death #Tw trauma #Tw drug abuse #Tw weight #Also if you dare to criticize those being traumatic we'll bite your face off. We didn't go into the details of what exactly made those two #So traumatic for us #So don't just be like “Oh people die that's not trauma” #There's more to both that we're not going into here

June n drawings day 12: Demiromantic lesbian Ivypool, suggested by @peachykeendeer !

#ivypool #june drawings TWO #warrior cats #demiromantic #lesbian #lgbt #pride month #recently i've been noticing that some people copy tags exactly when they reblog stuff #like they just type out all the tags on the original post and put it in their reblog #even tags that are clearly just the post creator talking to themself (like these) #and those people just fascinate me #like... why? #people who do that #you are aware that you don't have to right? #i don't get it #and also how? #do you guys have a program that automatically copies the original tags or do you type them all out by hand spelling mistakes and all? #if anyone who does that wants to chime in and tell me #that'd be greatly appreciated

[elquacktism]

At this point i just post so those two people can reblog my post

#like it doesnt even matter if i get 10 reblogs or less just if those two people reblogs i am accomplished #now i would say you know who you are except that i dont exactly try and interact with you guys at all cause im shy but #yknow i appreciate you guys

[tmae3114]

most days I feel like most of what I do in terms of trying to accommodate other disabled people is just. the bare minimum. even though I know that I do stuff that other people don’t, it doesn’t feel like I’m putting in any particular effort beyond just... basic decency and compassion. it feels like the people who don’t are failing to perform basic decency and compassion, y’know?

and most of the time the responses I get feel in line with that. just other people recognising basic decency when performed. a nod, a “thank you”, where appropriate, mostly just unacknowledged because it’s not something that needs acknowledged. it’s the same kind of response I tend to give

but sometimes I get a response that’s just heartbreaking and that always pushes me to keep paying attention and keep trying to do more because if so many other people are going to fail at basic kindness then somebody’s got to pick up the slack and if I don’t, who will?

#this is mostly a vent post but you can reblog if you want #if I get bothered by reblogs I now have the option to Simply Turn Them Off #this post was prompted by the fact that a couple of weeks ago #I asked one of my volunteer teammates what his preference was for when I did the written version of the interview we're going to do together #would he prefer I transcribe his speech exactly as he said it with his stammer included #or would he prefer I write it as the questions are written in our notes? #and he gave me the WIDEST eyed look and went ''you can DO that?'' #before saying he ABSOLUTELY wants it written exactly as he says it on the day ''if that's okay'' #and I just. that should NOT have been the response. that should NOT be such a surprise to him #writing a transcript of his speech exactly as he said it should be the STANDARD EXPECTATION #I knew it wasn't that's why I ASKED but it should not have been such a shock to BE asked #and I think about when I was in college and got accomodation for my auditory processing issues for the first time #and the way I felt when I realised that this was me FINALLY for the FIRST TIME on even footing #and just. the way that that felt. #and I'm not saying that every single form of accomodation is simple or basic or easy #some is difficult and requires significant effort and not everyone is in a position to do it #but being patient and respectful and /ASKING PEOPLE/ THEIR NEEDS AND PREFERENCES #should not be something that so often seems to be a rare treat for the recipient #an untrained twenty-three year old should not be a more conscientous guide for a blind teenager than her professional school aide yknow? #hhhhhhhhh it's two am and I'm having Feelings

Sources for Somerton's Plagiarism from Hbomberguy's Video (as much as I could get)

I went back through Harry's video, focused entirely on the sources James Somerton pulled from in the hopes of creating as much of a comprehensive list as I could--though my Google-Fu is not very strong. I did however find something I thought was forever lost and that made me very happy--specifically the magazine Midlands Zone containing the column by Steven Spinks that Harry poignantly used as an illustration of gay erasure... while Somerton uses it to sound like HE is waxing remorseful about the very subject.

This is not a complete list, I'm sure. For one thing, I was only able to attempt to pull sources that Harry himself mentioned in the video. Surely there's so very much more out there. I expect there to be a great deal more internet archeology to unearth just how much writing and culture Somerton has stolen like he's the British Museum of Natural History but for gay people.

- - - - -

Harry's list of mentioned youtubers:

Alexander Avila - https://www.youtube.com/@alexander_avila Matt Baume - https://www.youtube.com/@MattBaume Khadija Mbowe - https://www.youtube.com/@KhadijaMbowe Lady Emily - https://www.youtube.com/@LadyEmilyPresents Shanspeare - https://www.youtube.com/@Shanspeare RickiHirsch - https://www.youtube.com/@RickiHirsch VerilyBitchie - https://www.youtube.com/@verilybitchie

Harry created a convenient playlist of videos by these and other people he wants to bring to everyone's attention.

Please give them your support.

Midlands Zone Magazine - Column by Steven Spinks

After a great deal of searching, I found an archive of the "Midlands Zone" magazine, where you can read through past issues dating all the way back to February 2014. I have also found the issue from which Somerton took Spinks' poignant discussion of gay erasure: Overall archive Specific Issue - Pages 16-17

It will not allow you to download it, but you can read it exactly as it appeared in print form.

I refrained from including certain sources.

First off only focusing on Somerton's work.

Secondly not including anything that might be visible enough to not require amplifying their voice (I cannot speak for all of those I have found links to, but journalism is frequently a thankless job).

Thirdly any source that is of a nature that is antithetical to the very existence of the queer community, such as the right-leaning source that didn't make it into Somerton's video, but Harry was able to identify as a source he had considered using.

If you feel I have missed a mentioned source--or you know of a source from material that was not covered in Harry's video--please do not hesitate to reblog with added details.

Please share this information far and wide, and please add to it if you find more material that can be positively identified and linked to the creator/writer.

No but what cracks me up about this post is that the op deleted/replaced their post with an image and several links with the funniest display of zero reading comprehension in the tags, presumably because the two (2) people in that reblog chain dared to disagree with them. lmfao

#i am usually not this petty but Holy Shit this is so funny. if only because i think i know exactly which two reblogs the op is vagueing #dragonowlie's random texts #actually. if i had the spare money i would buy ad free again if only to spite the op and everyone in the notes who look down on #people that spend money on tumblr #i mean i would buy ad free again regardless of that post if i had the spare money but like. this makes me want to buy it again. Now. lmao

girls when poe has a personality that isn't being obsessed with a man he's had maybe ten scenes with in the first two movies and has his own agency and doesn't always agree with his mentor instead of bending over backwards to constantly say she's right (when she isn't):

#nym speaks #negativity #SORRY but it's true #like god they're SO petrified of him being his own character it'd be hilarious if it wasn't so FUCKING FRUSTRATING #sorry someone reblogged my gifset of him i made yesterday just to bitch about him in tl* #and number one you're a gifmaker too cut that shit out #number two they unironically love res*stance reb*rn which is the WORST BOOK I'VE EVER READ i despise it so fucking much #it treats him so fucking terribly. it treats him exactly the way people claimt tl* does #like the author can't talk about him without going 'oh he's a supremely arrogant person' in every interview she gives #and has maz tell him that and compares him to the first order AFTER KNOCKING HIM ON HIS ASS???? #and then has a good portion of the resistance agree he should be thrown out of the airlock for not trusting holdo like EXFUCKINCUSE ME?! #the author literally just wants him dead it's not even fucking funny #not to mention the book grossly objectifies him CONSTANTLY and REPEATEDLY #girl 'm in love with him and don't mention how hot he is this much #but like he's crushing on finn soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo of course it's better than everything else tehehehe #(which i do have my issues with? like why on earth was this woman writing them like they were for sure going to be a thing when lucasfilm #was NEVER going to do that. it feels a little too close to baiting to me ngl.) #anyway sorry workers were working on the road right outside my window until like two thirty last night :') and i have cramps :') so i'm not #in the mood for this shit lmfao #anyway living with clear skin and an open heart knowing that book keeps getting retconned bc it's so awful lmfao
