Generative AI Policy (February 9, 2024)

As of February 9, 2024, we are updating our Terms of Service to prohibit the following content:

Images created through the use of generative AI programs such as Stable Diffusion, Midjourney, and Dall-E.

This post explains what that means for you. We know it’s impossible to remove all images created by Generative AI on Pillowfort. The goal of this new policy, however, is to send a clear message that we are against the normalization of commercializing and distributing images created by Generative AI. Pillowfort stands in full support of all creatives who make Pillowfort their home. Disclaimer: The following policy was shaped in collaboration with Pillowfort Staff and international university researchers. We are aware that Artificial Intelligence is a rapidly evolving environment. This policy may require revisions in the future to adapt to the changing landscape of Generative AI.

Why is Generative AI Banned on Pillowfort?

Our Terms of Service already prohibits copyright violations, which includes reposting other people’s artwork to Pillowfort without the artist’s permission; and because of how Generative AI draws on a database of images and text that were taken without consent from artists or writers, all Generative AI content can be considered in violation of this rule. We also had an overwhelming response from our user base urging us to take action on prohibiting Generative AI on our platform.

How does Pillowfort define Generative AI?

As of February 9, 2024 we define Generative AI as online tools for producing material based on large data collection that is often gathered without consent or notification from the original creators.

Generative AI tools do not require skill on behalf of the user and effectively replace them in the creative process (ie - little direction or decision making taken directly from the user). Tools that assist creativity don't replace the user. This means the user can still improve their skills and refine over time.

For example: If you ask a Generative AI tool to add a lighthouse to an image, the image of a lighthouse appears in a completed state. Whereas if you used an assistive drawing tool to add a lighthouse to an image, the user decides the tools used to contribute to the creation process and how to apply them.

Examples of Tools Not Allowed on Pillowfort: Adobe Firefly* Dall-E GPT-4 Jasper Chat Lensa Midjourney Stable Diffusion Synthesia

Example of Tools Still Allowed on Pillowfort:

AI Assistant Tools (ie: Google Translate, Grammarly) VTuber Tools (ie: Live3D, Restream, VRChat) Digital Audio Editors (ie: Audacity, Garage Band) Poser & Reference Tools (ie: Poser, Blender) Graphic & Image Editors (ie: Canva, Adobe Photoshop*, Procreate, Medibang, automatic filters from phone cameras)

*While Adobe software such as Adobe Photoshop is not considered Generative AI, Adobe Firefly is fully integrated in various Adobe software and falls under our definition of Generative AI. The use of Adobe Photoshop is allowed on Pillowfort. The creation of an image in Adobe Photoshop using Adobe Firefly would be prohibited on Pillowfort.

Can I use ethical generators?

Due to the evolving nature of Generative AI, ethical generators are not an exception.

Can I still talk about AI?

Yes! Posts, Comments, and User Communities discussing AI are still allowed on Pillowfort.

Can I link to or embed websites, articles, or social media posts containing Generative AI?

Yes. We do ask that you properly tag your post as “AI” and “Artificial Intelligence.”

Can I advertise the sale of digital or virtual goods containing Generative AI?

No. Offsite Advertising of the sale of goods (digital and physical) containing Generative AI on Pillowfort is prohibited.

How can I tell if a software I use contains Generative AI?

A general rule of thumb as a first step is you can try testing the software by turning off internet access and seeing if the tool still works. If the software says it needs to be online there’s a chance it’s using Generative AI and needs to be explored further.

You are also always welcome to contact us at [email protected] if you’re still unsure.

How will this policy be enforced/detected?

Our Team has decided we are NOT using AI-based automated detection tools due to how often they provide false positives and other issues. We are applying a suite of methods sourced from international universities responding to moderating material potentially sourced from Generative AI instead.

How do I report content containing Generative AI Material?

If you are concerned about post(s) featuring Generative AI material, please flag the post for our Site Moderation Team to conduct a thorough investigation. As a reminder, Pillowfort’s existing policy regarding callout posts applies here and harassment / brigading / etc will not be tolerated.

Any questions or clarifications regarding our Generative AI Policy can be sent to [email protected].

~Lazy Jellyfish Writings~

🪼🖤

Hello! I'm Jelly! Jellyfish, JJ, any variation of those also welcomed🪼♎🇹🇴 I like to write for fun and started this blog in Nov 2023 thanks to my Miguel O'Hara (ATSV) fixation. I also write for Peter B. and Ben Reilly, though not as often.

I love to gush/talk about Miguel and I mainly write for him at the moment and for the unforeseeable future 🤧. I'm happy to become moots and love to support fellow writers. 🖤 I don't take requests at this time due to personal nerves about meeting expectations and also due to time constraints, I'm sorry! I am also on AO3 and Instagram under the same user: lazyjellyfish300. 🪼

Masterlist below the cut:

Most of my reader POVS are fem or AFAB, sorry. Since I am a cis female that is the pov I feel I can write the most accurately. I try to exclude reader's appearance as much as possible except clothing. I describe curvy body parts. You might have superficial things like tattoos or piercings once in a while but that's it. I try to do gender neutral every once in a while where I can.) My rating system is my humble opinion & might not be totally correct, read at your own risk.

I - Miracles of the White Nights [Il Dottore x Reader/OC]

For Valentine’s Day I’m sharing the first chapter of my longer fanfiction about Il Dottore and my Genshin OC Marie Snezhevna (this story can be perceived as reader insert type of thing; the characters' names play a big role in the plot and I decided to pick them by myself). In this chapter I have not provided the most detailed background of the current circumstances between Zandik and Marie, but I plan to do so in the future. I don’t really know if I’ll update it in any regular schedule, but for sure I’m going to continue this story. Meanwhile, enjoy!

TW: Minimally suggestive! Mentions of Marie's guesses about Dottore's true intentions. Summary: Small gestures make a big difference. Due to the long lasting effects of a serious argument with Il Dottore, Marie Shnezhevna gets degraded on the lower position in Haeresys despite being one of his most reliable workers in the lab. Three months later a ceasefire is established. Zandik finds surprising but efficient way to trick her into getting promoted again. Don't repost my artworks/writings please! I'll appreciate likes, comments and reblogs. I am the author of both text and signature illustarion. ♡ English is my second language, there may occur some grammar issues!

AO3 link

I - Miracles of the White Nights

“The days in Snezhnaya seem identical. Wherever you go, you will find your hair and eyelashes frozen. It's so cold that you have to keep moving your body constantly in order to survive, even in the properly chosen clothing. Everywhere you look, you'll be surrounded by the snowy desert. If you stray too far from human settlements, your eyes will be obscured by one of the sudden snowstorms. Bunch of snowflakes will cut into your face like tiny, marvelously crafted blades. Somewhere on the horizon you may spot the outlines of deep, impenetrable, coniferous forests. You will find it difficult to stand straight due to the violent blows of the whistling wind trying to bury you alive in the frosty grave. It's worth mentioning that the typical Snezhnayan days are rather short in comparison to local nights that can last even for months. This land is harsh, but it still possesses unique, raw beauty. Those cold nights offer truly charming views in the form of multi-colored aurorae you couldn't experience anywhere else in equally rich form. The artistry of almighty Cryo Archon is undeniable, only the canvas she uses to paint her abstract compositions are painfully fake. Of course, these aren't the only charms of the Ice Nation. This country is huge and full of contrasts. What may seem surprising is this special time of the year when the sun takes control over the sky completely, so it doesn't set at all. The local population describes this phenomenon as the "Miracle of the White Nights''. Over the course of four hundred years, one could experience many of them, but they could not compare to the fragrant, inflaming nights in the Nation of Wisdom.”

Zandik, as he wasn't holed up in the deepest dungeons of Haeresys, stopped next to one of the windows in the southern part of his mansion and locked his gaze on the distance. The scarlet irises wandered somewhere along the glittering horizon, seemingly without any specific goal as the Harbinger enjoyed pervasive silence. Since he got rid of the segments, it had been happening more and more often. Sometimes he was just trying to shake off a strange feeling of lightness inside his skull. He was fed up with everything. Exhausted with the amount of delayed work. Instead of dealing with serious matters, he wasted too much time on trivial affairs such as correcting the mistakes of people less competent than himself. For centuries he wasn't relying on his employees that much and now he was just even more disappointed with them. After all, they were only humans with ordinary lifespans, without the satisfying amount of experience that would possibly match the level of Teyvat's most powerful mind. Zandik felt frustrated by the lack of quick alternatives to slow down the pace of his own work. He was alone with all of the projects he started when his other selves were still present. By the time he still handled most of the things on his own in different forms, but for now he couldn't even rely on himself truly. This would be a disgrace to him if he addressed this issue to Pierro or their Archon, since for hundreds of years he had been an exceptional professional, the master of planning and reacting quickly to every breakthrough revelation. He was always a few steps before everyone. At this stage, it was not possible for him to return to such a tedious work alone. It would be much less problematic if only deadlines never existed. Escape in thought was his way to break away from the unfavorable situation at least for a short moment. His thoughts traveled to the place where it never snowed. To the forests that sheltered a much richer variety of living organisms. The days were longer there, and the hot nights often made it impossible to fall asleep. The scents in Sumerian air could effortlessly mess with the restless minds of angry young men living for some greater purposes… For the Second Harbigner of Shneznaya, looking towards Sumeru was an involuntary, bitter flirtation with his own past. Currently he was in a place so incongruous to his homeland, but it was the only nation that guaranteed him complete freedom and support in turning his wildest daydreams into reality. It was the only place in Teyvat that allowed him to prove himself the way he was. He had everything he wanted to continue his journey and test the ideas that many would not even dare to think about… And yet, somewhere in his suppressed consciousness, he understood perfectly well that even here he was just a stranger meant to simply play his part. This time, as the man continued staring out the window, he heard the echo of someone's slow footsteps on the marble floor behind him. He recognized the sequence of these steps extraordinarily well… Those were inimitable. If only their owner walked barefoot, she would reach him in perfect silence. The corners of the Doctor's mouth turned up involuntarily.

“Marie Snezhevna,” he said without even turning towards the woman. Instead, he laced his fingers together behind his back. “Is this an emergency? At this hour I would rather expect to witness your presence in the laboratory or in your chamber.”

His voice echoed crystal clear between the walls of the corridor occupied by him and his underling. As usual, the scientist chose his words in a stiff, somewhat archaic way. Although it added seriousness and supposed politeness to his overall image, he himself seemed distant. Despite Zandik's cold demeanor, his interlocutor did not feel rejected. She was used to talking to him. Marie's interactions with Il Dottore resembled rituals based on some unwritten rules which the main participants managed to learn over the last few years. If there was an ordinary side witness there, the said unrefined observer could experience the eagerness to say that both Marie and Dottore enjoyed engaging in these subtle games.

“I will leave immediately if I interrupted something important,” the woman replied calmly, keeping her demeanor professional. Zandik remained silent for a moment, giving her no answer. This made the woman sigh heavily before she turned her back towards him to fulfill her promise. The quiet rustle of her clothes alerted the Harbinger, who slowly turned towards her and squinted his eyes hidden under the raven mask.

“Stop.”

It was an order. Naturally, the woman immediately stopped and turned her face towards him, allowing him to continue his speech. After all, she had to respect his will. He cleared his throat, seemingly offended by the whole situation.

“You wouldn't come here without a reason. Besides, I don't think it's respectful to be in a hurry when you're talking to your boss.” Indeed, he had known her for a long time and he knew what he could expect from her. He had to play it cool, precisely because — since he had fully understood his own position over the last few months – he didn't want to miss the opportunity to finally talk to Marie alone.

Since he delivered the two gnosis to Tsaritsa, he cut off almost all forms of communication with his former main assistant except her reports on the progress of her research under his command. Although the heretical scientist usually didn't care about time, now it felt like the whole eternity had passed. A really strange thing. Deep down in his heart he was a simple coward, or maybe his unwavering patience was reasonable and had finally paid off as the woman herself announced her readiness for a face-to-face confrontation? Marie shrugged her arms and shifted her body weight to one of her hips before shaking her head, sighing again with a faint smile on her lips. It was an extremely familiar gesture, as if everything before had never had the opportunity to set them apart.

“Of course, naturally…” she looked up at him, and then her facial features softened noticeably. “I just want to thank you for everything you did for me. I really didn't expect this. Certainly not after I caused additional problems in a very crucial situation. I made it all about myself. I think you deserve an apology for what I said, when I stated that you're…”

“Your apology is unnecessary.”

The Harbinger made a gentle gesture with his hand to silence her. He didn't want Marie to take old skeletons out of the closet. He also did not want to elaborate more about the choice of his that had a negative impact on his daily functioning. He wasn't even bothered by the earlier behavior of his former assistant anymore. Even though he still couldn't fully accept what she truly meant back then, he understood her perspective on an intellectual level. During that mission, he was caught off guard by Kusanali and he just did what was necessary to succeed. However, he could have done it all more skillfully to minimize the unpleasant side effects of the special operation. However, he did not take this into account at the time, so he was delaying an adequate response to Marie's complaints. No honest apology passed his lips in ages and he wasn't very likely to utter that magical word anytime soon.

“Follow me. It will be much more beneficial,” he gestured and clasped his hands behind his back again. Then, he started moving further into the southern nave of the mansion. He walked leisurely, visibly waiting for Marie to go after him. True to his expectations, she caught up with him very quickly. When Marie glanced at his face from closer distance, she spotted his poor state immediately. He looked extremely tired and couldn't hide it even under the mask. His skin was paler than usual and it had a sickly greenish undertone. Exhaustion would explain his growing isolation in a convincing way. His own pride was his downfall. As they walked through the corridors in silence, listening to the wind blowing outside, Marie noticed that they were approaching the sector of private chambers. His intentions could be... everything and anything.

Dottore's supposed intentions caused Marie's consternation, but in order to avoid hasty guesses, she decided to keep all comments to herself. The time on his side teached her that the worst things were usually caused by the incorrect assumptions about his agenda. Yet, when Zandik started unlocking the door to his dorm, the woman cleared her throat quietly and took a step back.

“I'll wait outside.”

Slightly awkward smile appeared on her face. She received a reply in the form of a nod. It seemed that he didn't care about the goal that could stereotypically motivate any man to take a woman to his apartment. Overally, Zandik loved privacy, so Marie was going to respect that as well, leaving aside the obvious moral issues. The Doctor disappeared inside his apartment for around five minutes. When he came back, he handed her a small box wrapped in a papyrus. He had a gentle yet wry smile on his lips that only fools could trust. He warned the woman before she started asking him any questions.

“In Sumeru I managed to obtain some new chemical samples which I expect you to analyze, describe, and maybe even extract something completely new from them. I just require you to be extremely careful when handling them. I didn’t choose any intermediary, considering the high value of those resources… I'm strongly against unpacking them outside of the laboratory environment.”

“I see. I will do my best to keep them safe,” Marie took over the package with extreme caution. She seemed to turn pale when she heard a silent clink of glass under the packaging. She looked fearfully at the Harbringer, who rubbed the tip of his nose with his knuckles, covering the lower part of his face at the same time. It took a lot of effort for him not to burst into manic laughter. Fortunately, Dottore was an excellent actor.

“This is another urgent project that has been delayed unexpectedly, so get on with it immediately… If you can make it this evening, I might even consider promoting you again.”

The man sounded as categorical as promising. Yes, exactly, it was a great idea for Marie to return to her previous position. Of course, if only that's what she wanted. Zandik just intended to convince her to do so, being fully determined to achieve the desired effect. Among all of his employees, he memorized cooperation with Marie as the most pleasant. Moreover, he could keep an eye on her constantly to avoid particularly embarrassing accidents involving her... This woman's reliability required appropriate supervision to shine fully.

“Promoting me, you say… For how long?” Although the woman turned it into a joke, she slowly moved towards the opposite side of the corridor, remaining very careful around the package received from her boss. Since Marie was cut from the same cloth as Zandik, she also didn't want to admit that she simply missed the infamous heretic's company. “Apart from formalities, I just wonder what it is. Naturally, I will prepare the report as soon as possible!”

The Harbinger watched as the woman took up her task. It was amusing to witness her curiosity and willingness to gain knowledge. In this particular case, he had a feeling that it would herald a real breakthrough in their united research.

“I'm counting on your expertise, Professor,” he added in Fontanian as she left, before the storm of woman's black curls disappeared from his sight. He expected very quick results from this long-awaited experiment.

══════⊹⊱≼≽⊰⊹══════

When Marie entered her study room in the lab, she put the package on the table and rubbed her hands together with excitement. Sumeru was the region with the best samples of poisons. What could be inside the parcel? Small colorful frogs for the production of poison darts, medicines and antidotes, rhizomes, roots, leaves, mushrooms, insects… The tropical jungle hid countless treasures and the fact that Il Dottore himself managed the trouble of obtaining raw materials was exceptionally valuable. Marie didn't know anyone who was more familiar with the local flora and fauna. She herself might not have even paid attention to some things during her on field delegations, but now she had the opportunity to learn something new directly from the mastermind himself. On top of that, he offered her another promotion. Wonderful. Low importance tasks weren't as fulfilling as experiencing the true science. After conversation with Zandik she felt extraordinary happiness that she had not expected to return these days. The way he referred to her as Professor scratched the right part of her brain a bit too pleasantly. She was more willing to try to forgive him for scaring her to death when he destroyed his segments out of nowhere. At the same time, was this really necessary to wait so long before handing her the new project?

The woman tied her hair back and put on protective clothing, quietly humming the first random melody that popped into her head. Then, she walked over the table and began unrolling the package. As soon as she saw its contents, she felt the wave of heat on her cheeks. This wasn't what she expected… She slipped the protective mask off her face in bewilderment, and then, with wide eyes, she began to look at the containers. The bottles indeed contained chemicals, but at first glance none of the substances had something to do with the poisonous flora of Sumeru. Those weren't even standard vials from Zandik's laboratory, but some colorful glass flasks decorated according to the Sumerian manner of design and sealed with appropriate labels. Marie sank heavily onto her stool and began carefully turning the bottles over in her fingers. Maybe… Dottore made a mistake or someone miraculously robbed him, replaced the original cargo and even managed to escape with his life? Sounds a bit too silly, but it was all just women's cosmetics. Nothing really valuable to the scientist.

Rose water, kohl, aker fassi and several niche perfume oils. What's more, at the bottom of the package there was an original Sumerian halva decorated with dried fruits.

Marie tried to maintain her denial, but instead of relief, she felt a pang in her heart. At this point her face felt as if she was on fire. If Zandik planned to give it to her right after he returned and her sulks prevented him from doing so… She felt so bad about herself. Willingly or not, she blinked her eyes a few times, as for a moment her vision became blurry. He had no reason to be so generous. Maybe it was a suggestion that he noticed her getting old slowly, or maybe she should just look for some specific, new purposes for simple household chemicals? Maybe the halva was poisoned or packed with elixirs he hadn't tested before? After all, Dottore always devoured it himself and he was reluctant to share it with anyone. Or maybe Marie was just overthinking at the moment and what Dottore really expected from her was terrifyingly simple. Was it that he wanted her to try those substances on herself, like she always used to do in her job? Zandik wished to see the effects of her work in the evening, which meant there was no time for typical scientific inspection… Marie had just enough time to do her makeup. It was exciting, moving and scary in its own way. It wasn't usual to get any prosaic, non-scientific gift from Zandik.

However, if this was the only requirement to restore the old order in the laboratory, Marie was willing to do it for both of them and touch the precious part of Sumeru that he brought to Snezhnaya for her. Soon the woman's green eyes got embraced by a beautiful dark frame. Her cheeks and lips got touched with the color of a pomegranate with a golden glow. She placed the sweet scent of honey, sandalwood and rose behind her ear. She cut the halva into pieces. For now she was almost ready to face him again. It was one of those white nights, when endless days asserted their domination over the lenghty times of darkness again.

𝐊𝐈𝐑𝐀’𝐒 𝐈𝐍-𝐃𝐄𝐏𝐓𝐇 𝐆𝐔𝐈𝐃𝐄 𝐎𝐍 𝐒𝐋𝐄𝐄𝐏 𝐏𝐀𝐑𝐀𝐋𝐘𝐒𝐈𝐒

𝐈𝐍𝐓𝐑𝐎𝐃𝐔𝐂𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍

Hi loves! I am back with another in-depth post. Today, I will be talking about Sleep paralysis, one of the most amazing phenomenas a human can go through and is one of the best methods that can be used to manifest,shift, respawn etc. in my opinion! This is a repost of my post on Amino 🤍

Before commenting, “why do you want sleep paralysis??” or “won’t you see demons during sleep paralysis?” etc. , educate yourself on it first or just read the whole freaking post. Sleep paralysis is known to be one of the easiest ways to shift/respawn, traced back all the way back to the history on this community. Yes, if you’re asking, this could yeet you out of here tonight even.

FULL DISCLAIMER! These methods are what works for me and others but it might not work for you. Mix it up and try setting up a routine intuitively.

𝐖𝐇𝐀𝐓 𝐈𝐒 𝐒𝐋𝐄𝐄𝐏 𝐏𝐀𝐑𝐀𝐋𝐘𝐒𝐈𝐒

Cited from NHS (2019), Sleep paralysis happens when you cannot move your muscles as you are waking up or falling asleep. This is because you are in sleep mode but your brain is active. It's not clear why sleep paralysis can happen but it has been linked with: insomnia.

Many people would often suffer sleep paralysis due to an unhealthy sleep hygiene, stress, alcohol-consumption, even inheritance in genes. When in sleep paralysis, people tend to see “scary faces”, shadowy figures standing in their room,sounds such as someone calling their name clearly, feeling the sensation of heaviness on their chest and not being able to breathe properly, strong vibrations etc. These symptoms doesn’t apply to everyone so don’t be alarmed!

Are there really demons during my sleep paralysis episodes?

No. They are just a fragment of your mind since you are half awake and asleep. Many tend to see these “demons” since it is a common thought for people who goes through sleep paralysis that it is associated with “horror experiences”.

Can we induce sleep paralysis anytime?

Yes. But in my experience and many others, it is easier to induce sleep paralysis in your REM cycles. This is highly recommended if you are a beginner or someone who does not experience sleep paralysis regularly.

You will be in REM sleep every 90 minutes so it is best that you set an alarm for 3-6 hours after sleep or intend to wake up in your REM cycle. This is also known as the Wake Back to Bed technique (WBTB), often used by lucid dreamers and astral projectors.

Other than that, inducing sleep paralysis during naps are amazing too, since most of our naps are made out of REM cycles. Make sure to give yourself at most 90 minutes of nap time to induce sleep paralysis.

——————————————————————————

𝐌𝐄𝐓𝐇𝐎𝐃𝐒 𝐓𝐎 𝐈𝐍𝐃𝐔𝐂𝐄 𝐒𝐋𝐄𝐄𝐏 𝐏𝐀𝐑𝐀𝐋𝐘𝐒𝐈𝐒

There are 101 ways to induce sleep paralysis and it is not only limited to the ones I will be listing down. Once again, experiment with each technique and if none resonates or works for you, switch it up and make a method of your own. I will be sharing the WBTB method again, for the sake of this guide.

Wake Back to Bed technique (WBTB)

Like I said previously, set your alarm 4-6 hours after you sleep, timing can be adjusted according to your liking. If you are good at setting an intention, set an intention to wake up at your desired timing. If you are a heavy sleeper and would easily fall back asleep after switching off your alarm, place your phone on the opposite side of your room. Then you will be forced to push yourself out of bed and off it.

Once awake, you are required to stay awake for about 10-60 minutes. Again, customise it to your own liking. I would recommend 15-30 minutes though but it all depends on the individual. If you feel as though you are still very sleepy, add another 5 minutes to your timing. During this time, walk around, go to the washroom, repeat affirmations, read your scripts, etc. Do anything you would like but try to avoid activities that would increase your heart rate excessively. The goal here is to only wake your mind up and not your body.

Method 01

Perform the WBTB and get back to bed. Lay in your back and in a corpse position.

Make sure that your limbs aren’t intertwined with each other to make this method work better. Switch on a subliminal, binaural beats, soft music etc. to help distract your mind from your body and to prevent yourself from sleeping pre-maturely through the method. If you aren’t relaxed enough, try doing a progressive muscle relaxation technique, which I will be explaining at the later part of the guide.

When you have completely relaxed yourself, close your eyes and focus softly into the void behind your eyelids. You can also watch the hypnagogic imagery that happens before your closed eyelids. Let yourself sleep, but make sure to maintain a sliver of awareness to induce sleep paralysis. This might sound hard but that is why the background sound, subliminals etc. , would help you to maintain a little of awareness. If you want to scratch or swallow, just do it without giving it any thought.

If it is hard for you to stay aware, repeat a mantra “mind awake, body asleep”, to fasten the process. Once you feel the symptoms kicking in, do not passively try to interact or try to manipulate sleep paralysis! Wait for it to completely engulf you before doing the next step to shift/respawn yourself.

Method 02

This method is commonly known as the DEILD/CanWILD technique in the lucid dreaming community. It is used to spontaneously induce sleep paralysis and lucid dreaming, but it takes a little more effort to master.

The hardest part to master for this method is to wake up completely motionless and without opening eyes. Even though it is not necessary to do that, it helps to fasten the process of inducing sleep paralysis and re-entering your dream. I would usually affirm to myself that I would wake up in sleep paralysis, and that would usually happen to me. However, there is a shortcut to this method that I constantly use when my intentions does not consistently work.

Use a touch-less alarm clock. One that I love is “Lucid Waker”. It is available on the app store but I’m not sure if it is for android users. I would set an alarm after 3 hours of sleep and let the alarm play for 20 seconds, since I’m a heavy sleeper. There is a feature for “dream chaining” so I clicked on that one too and set it to automatically go off again every 30 minutes, so I would have a higher chance of inducing sleep paralysis in one night. ONLY DO THIS IF YOU DO NOT HAVE ANYTHING ON THE NEXT DAY!! Doing this will make you feel sleepy and not well-rested.

I would lay on my back, like the picture above and sleep until my alarm goes off. Once awoken, I would instinctively remember to not move and about 10 seconds or so, I will be in sleep paralysis. A way that could help you prevent from opening your eyes is by using a sleeping mask.

Method 03

Following method 01, as you are about to fall asleep, open your eyes slightly and close it again. Repeat it as many times as you can whenever you feel like falling asleep. At one point of time, your body will automatically shift into sleep paralysis.

Method 04

This method consists of using the SSILD method, also known as the Sleep senses induced lucid dreaming. You can read it up [here|https://www.reddit.com/r/LucidDreaming/comments/18h2bi/ssild_official_tutorial_20/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf] if you want to know more about it.

What works best for me to induce sleep paralysis with SSILD is to wake myself up 3 hours after sleep, since “insomnia” could be a problem when you use this technique. It won’t apply to everyone, so do experiment with this technique. I would get straight to doing the cycles and since I’m barely awake, I would induce sleep paralysis half-way throughout the method. I found out about this on accident while intending to use this method for lucid dreaming.

Method 05

Of course I had to include FILD into this too. FILD, also known as Finger induced lucid dreaming, is a usually used as WILD anchor in lucid dreaming. It is not so well-liked by lucid dreamers, but it still dish out results. So why not use to to your advantage right?

If you want to know how to carry this technique out, read it [here|https://www.reddit.com/r/LucidDreaming/comments/c9ljkg/a_beginners_guide_to_fild/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf].

When you are at the verge of sleeping, move your fingers ever so lightly and slowly reduce the movement of your fingers. At this point, you should be imagining your fingers still tapping onto the surface of your bed lightly. You will feel a sudden shift of energy and sleep paralysis will take over very quickly.

Method 06

Following method 01, once you have done everything and is currently laying on your back, try not to move at all. It should not be a problem since you have already relaxed your body. If your body jerks, just let it be. It is known as a hypnagogic jerk and that means your body is falling fast asleep. Try to stay on your back until you have that extreme urge to move. If it is super unbearable, switch your sleeping position to the side and “fall asleep”. Relax yourself as a whole and feel yourself falling into sleep paralysis quickly.

Method 07

This method is commonly used to induce hypnagogia but could also be used for sleep paralysis. Perform the WBTB technique and when you’re back on your bed, place your arm up 90 degrees to your bed OR bend one of your knees up.

As you fall asleep, your arm or knee will drop as well. If it does drop, wake up slightly and hold your arm or knee back into it’s original position. Do this until you can’t stand it anymore and place your arm or knee down. Relax and sleep paralysis would take over after a few minutes or so.

Progressive muscle relaxation technique

As promised, [here|https://www.anxietycanada.com/articles/how-to-do-progressive-muscle-relaxation/] is how you can help relax yourself before inducing sleep paralysis, or honestly any method of your choice.

𝐇𝐎𝐖 𝐓𝐎 𝐒𝐇𝐈𝐅𝐓/𝐑𝐄𝐒𝐏𝐀𝐖𝐍/𝐌𝐀𝐍𝐈𝐅𝐄𝐒𝐓 𝐖𝐈𝐓𝐇 𝐒𝐋𝐄𝐄𝐏 𝐏𝐀𝐑𝐀𝐋𝐘𝐒𝐈𝐒

Since I’ve seen this question floating a lot throughout the community, here is what have worked very well for me.

When in sleep paralysis, rage shifting/respawning affirmations in your mind. For example:

- I have fully shifted to my Dr

- I am in my Dr

- I have manifested xyz

What works best for me is to use past/present tense. Try to avoid continuous tense such as “I am shifting to my Dr” or “I want to manifest xyz”. It might still work for you so do experiment. When I say rage, means just shout the affirmations in your head angrily! It actually works really well since it helps to strengthen my sleep paralysis vibrations and I would actually shift in a minute or two.

If this doesn’t work, you can also incorporate 5 senses with affirmations. If you have aphantasia and can’t visualise, just use your other 4 senses.

Taken from my post in DRSU (Amino)

A copper coin? How the hell is it supposed to help me reach sleep paralysis faster? I know it might sound stupid but I will tell you why. Copper is known to stimulate energy flow and enhance your psychic energy. It is an energy conductor that will move energies and amplify thoughts.

It will also help you in channeling and communicating higher dimensional beings so heads up to anyone who channels here <3 Copper can also ground and move a wide array of vibrational frequencies from the spiritual realm to the physical realm.

Not to mention it can help you by sending healing energies around your body and encourage you to achieve physical and emotional alignment, resulting you to think clearer and less aggressive behaviour.

Warning! Copper activates your third eye so stop doing this method if your third eye chakra becomes too over active.

The method

Find yourself a copper penny or if it is unavailable, you can use a copper wire etc. as long as it its flat. Once you find one, clean it thoroughly. I would recommend that you do this method after a few hours of sleeping (wake back to bed) but do it whenever you are comfortable.

Lie on your back and prop a pillow under your head so that it will be slightly elevated. Arms at your side and feet separated. Use your right hand to press the penny on your forehead, between your eyes but slightly above.

Carry out the progressive muscle relaxation technique.

Be aware of your consciousness separating from your body and imagine your body floating gently in a boat on a slowly moving river. You should try to trick your mind into thinking that your body is asleep. Your body will start to vibrate like hell and no matter how hard you tried to move, you can't. This is an indication you are already in sleep paralysis.

Taken from my post in DRSU (Amino)

- Worrying and tensing your body too much. The main goal to reach the state of sleep paralysis is to RELAX. Do not worry about swallowing, moving your eyes, limbs etc. Instead try this. Pretend to be asleep. Let your mind wander and after every few minutes, bring your focus back to your body and ask yourself, “Am I asleep?”

- If you are someone who sleeps too fast even after turning off the alarm, place your phone across the room and wake up to switch it off. Walk for a bit, go to the washroom etc.

- If you are someone who has a hard time sleeping when you move to switch off your alarm, I would recommend you to use a touchless one instead such as Lucidity or Howtolucid. I am using an iPhone so I am unsure if it is available on Playstore.

- If you do experience pre-symptoms of sleep paralysis, it is best if you do not control them. Trying to intensify them would only dissipate the symptoms. Instead, allow them to do whatever they want: the less you act, the more intense it will become by its own means.

- Looking up at your Ajna, or also known as the third eye. When laying flat on the bed, close your eyes and look subtly up at your third eye, somewhere between your eyebrows. Do not strain your eyes since you will have to stay like that for quite awhile! Continue meditating and sleep paralysis would happen quicker since your eyes naturally roll up as you sleep.

- Do a third eye meditation before sleeping. I have not tried this yet but many said that it could help you achieve sleep paralysis, lucid dreaming and even astral projection way quicker.

- Listen to frequencies, binaural beats or maybe even guided meditation. I never tried guided meditation to induce sleep paralysis because at some point, I will be distracted as hell hehe. Some binaural beats I would recommend are theta waves on the Binaural app, [🍥|https://youtu.be/bolhpqL0uZU] and [🍤|https://youtu.be/FOnn4H5lEaY]

- Do not get too excited when you finally induce sleep paralysis. Don’t be like me seriously. I got too excited the other day and it faded away :( Just lean back and let sleep paralysis take over and then start affirming to shift/respawn to your DR or to manifest!

- Tilt your head slightly to the side and slightly forward in a corpse position. Rest your tongue on the roof of your mouth so your mouth would not randomly open while inducing sp.

- A method that was recommended by my boyfriend, he said to prop pillows under your head. Make sure to have your head higher than your body. This always made him have sleep paralysis. You could also use a heavy blanket when you want to induce it.

𝐓𝐑𝐀𝐍𝐒𝐈𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐒𝐋𝐄𝐄𝐏 𝐏𝐀𝐑𝐀𝐋𝐘𝐒𝐈𝐒 𝐓𝐎 𝐎𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐑 𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐓𝐄𝐒 𝐎𝐅 𝐌𝐈𝐍𝐃

Sleep paralysis is a gateway to other states such as lucid dreaming, astral projection and even the void state. Here are some ways you can transition sleep paralysis to lucid dreaming etc.

Lucid dreaming

Once you are in sleep paralysis, just let yourself slide deeper into it and affirm that you are lucid dreaming. It usually works for me since I would transition into a lucid dream in a minute or so.

Astral projection

When you reach the vibrational stage, you can start doing an exit technique. I will list some below:

The widely known, rope method

When in sleep paralysis, you can start imagining a rope directly above you and your astral arms pulling you up. The trick here is to feel the rope and yourself getting pulled out of your physical body. Continue this until you hear a “pop” sound or a shift in awareness.

Levitate, sit up or roll out from your body

Like what I stated, once you are in sleep paralysis, attempt to levitate, sit up or even roll out from your body. Remember that this is your astral body doing the tasks and not your physical body!

Once you are out of your body, remember to seek for protection from your angels or higher ups before spawning a portal to your wr/dr. Once there, just merge with your dr body and you have shifted/respawned.

The void state

Just like lucid dreaming, when you are in sleep paralysis, just affirm that you are in the void state and you will be thrown into it.

——————————————————————————

𝐓𝐑𝐀𝐍𝐒𝐈𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐎𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐑 𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐓𝐄𝐒 𝐎𝐅 𝐌𝐈𝐍𝐃 𝐓𝐎 𝐒𝐋𝐄𝐄𝐏 𝐏𝐀𝐑𝐀𝐋𝐘𝐒𝐈𝐒

This is mainly for lucid dreaming and astral projection since I have not experimented with other methods to sleep paralysis huhu. You could use this if you really want to use sleep paralysis as your shifting/respawning method OR have troubles shifting/respawning with lucid dreaming and astral projection.

Lucid dreaming

When in a lucid dream, what I would usually do is to find or spawn myself on a building or a cliff. If you are afraid, you could use the next method. Then, I would affirm that I would wake up in sleep paralysis and jump down from there. It would work 99% of the time.

If you’re scared, you can just affirm to wake up in sleep paralysis in your lucid dream. It still works as well.

Astral projection

When I astral project and I want to induce sleep paralysis, I would affirm that I would induce sleep paralysis. Not long after, I will be pulled back into my body and wake up in sp.

Why you should tag authors in your fic rec posts

Hello again. It's me. Honestly, I've felt this way for years, but I've never wanted to say anything until now, but honestly, I think it's time someone does. Every author is different, I recognize that, but with the uprise in reposters and plagiarism in the writing community on Tumblr, I feel like this post is important to make.

Keep in mind this is vastly a post regarding my own opinions of this matter, but if you are an author, or even a reader that agrees with any of the points here, feel free to share this to spread awareness.

So, without further ado, here are a variety of reasons you should tag and properly credit authors on your fic rec posts.

Believe it or not, fic recs are actually a very great source of feedback. When we're tagged when someone recs our fic, we get told, 'hey, this person likes our writing enough to tell other people about it, and share it with others who might like it as well!'. Without that tag, we have NO IDEA that you liked it enough to share it with others. Instead, our fic just gets reduced to the name or title we've labelled it as, and not the writer - the person, the human - who spent hours, days, weeks, months, or sometimes even years writing said piece that is linked to a recommended post. Supporting authors is so important, especially if you want them to continue writing!

That being said, and I don't know how many others will agree with me on this point, but I've always personally felt that people that don't tag authors on fic rec posts are almost trying to take credit for those particular stories. By not putting the author, it gives the allusion that the person making the post could have been the author of said story. Like, you can spare enough time and energy to link the post, but not hit a little @ key which takes about a third of the amount of time to do as it does to link the post? Given the amount of reposters and plagiarizers that are also on the rise lately on Tumblr, it just never sat right with me. The author put in the time and effort to create that story you're recommending. The least you could do is credit them with a proper tag.

Additionally, I just feel like it's common curtesy. Without a proper tag, to me, you're saying that the finished product is more important than the person behind said product who worked hard to create such a work for you to enjoy. If you can spend the time to make your fic rec post 'look nice', you can spend the two extra seconds it takes to tag the author. It shows you respect the person behind the writing as much as the writing itself. At least, to me.

Not tagging the author is essentially the same to me as if you never made the post in the first place. We have no idea about it unless we're lucky enough for it to pop up on our dash and we recognize our own piece of writing. I can't speak for others, but it literally makes my day when I see someone has tagged me in a fic rec post! Like, you cared enough to share my stories! You cared enough to tell people about me. It's one of the biggest compliments you can possibly give someone.

I know there are probably a plethora of other reasons as to why you should credit authors on fic rec lists and the like, but I've said the main points I want to here. If any other authors want to add any more reasons as to why you should tag them on fic rec posts, then by all means! Please, be my guest!

This post isn't meant to be a debate. I just felt it needed to be said, again, due to the rise in reposting and plagiarism that's been going around Tumblr recently, and also since it's just something I've always believed in.

Stories are meant to be shared. It's just nice knowing that our stories are being shared.

#admin's thoughts #my opinion #tags #writing #thought you'd ought to know #just tag your authors people #it's really not that hard #please and thank you

Hello again, fellow Sephiroth fans! Starting October 23rd until October 29th, the 7th and 2023 version of Sephiroth Appreciation Week will be held. It’ll be a time to share your love for Sephiroth in any way you can (as in: art, fic, graphics, gifs, fanmixes and so on!) in the tag #sephirothweek. Thanks a ton for the support for 7 years!

The list of prompts follows, below. You’re free to be as creative with those as you can, (while always tagging sensitive content properly and minding the site’s rules) as you are also free to start working on your entries as soon as you wish, but please don’t forget to post them in the right date. (Delays are absolutely fine, but only up to 7 days after the 29th.)

Oct. 23 || Day 1. Beginnings

Oct. 24 || Day 2. Dove

Oct. 25 || Day 3. Weapon

Oct. 26 || Day 4. Free Day

Oct. 27 || Day 5. Memory

Oct. 28 || Day 6. Reunion

Oct. 29 || Day 7. In Circles

Please remember to include the week’s tag within the first 5 tags or else your work might end up unable to be found. (For the same reason, don’t separate the words of the #sephirothweek tag with spaces or dashes.) For ease of finding, it’s also highly recommended to tag this blog just to be safe as Tumblr’s tag system sometimes eats posts! Anything containing Character/Ship/Voice Actor/etc Hate WILL NOT be allowed, so avoid including those in your entries, as well as reposted/stolen work. Feel free to leave a message either here or over at Twitter if you have any questions.

If for some reason you’re still missed somehow, also feel free to message with a link to your work! We all know how wonky this site can be at times.

PSA on sharing others' twst merch pictures + jp fandom etiquette

Okay guys, it’s time to sit down and have a serious talk for a second 😣

With the recent deliveries of 2023 Valentine Gifts to Japanese fans, I noticed that many had censored the text (whereas in previous years, it was much easier to locate uncensored letters). At the same time, I've also noticed many international fans reposting pictures (which do show the uncensored text) taken from Japanese fans' accounts to sort of "live react" or scream about the contents (rather than sharing and/or liking the original post they clearly took the images from).

Admittedly, this is an issue that moreso plagues TWST Twitter than TWST Tumblr, but I know that there are fans that frequent both platforms and are unaware of this issue. Here in this post, I'm going to talk about why spreading someone else's merch pictures looks bad for us (in the international TWST fandom), why you shouldn't do it, and what you can do instead.

First thing's first, let's think of it this way: this situation is similar to art/writing/translation theft. One can make the argument that technically since the work being shared around is "not original/not made by the OP" then it is okay to just take it and spread it. That's not the problem here; the problem is that someone else spent their hard-earned money to obtain this item, and some OPs even go out of their way to make elaborate set-ups to take pictures of their merchandise. The act of taking something that isn't yours but still posting it without crediting the OP (and thus taking the credit for yourself, even if not explicitly claimed to be "yours") still pervades. If you want to think of it another way, it’s like not citing your sources properly in an essay. What makes this behavior worse is that it's literally SO easy to just retweet and/or like the original post. But no, instead people are actively making the decision to take their photos without so much as linking back to the OP. What purpose does that serve, especially when it's considerably more effort than liking/retweeting? Not to mention the harm it does for the already shaky relations between Japanese and international fans 💦 I already mentioned before that the number of uncensored Valentine Gifts has gone WAY down in 2023, and I'd wager that this is, in part, due to international fans often engaging in this aforementioned "picture theft". It is seen as something done in poor taste, but it is not often overtly spoken about due to the language barrier and/or Japanese fans not being as outspoken as, say, western fans are. Japanese fans are sharing pictures of their merch to express their excitement and share the love of their favorite character(s) with others. It feels like a violation of those positive feelings to have someone else come along, snatch up the picture they lovingly took, and pass if off as essentially their own without permission or even acknowledging that the OP exists. We also need to consider the possibility that some Japanese fans may be uncomfortable with their pictures being spread around because it unintentionally spoils others. Their excitement should not impact others' experiences, so when this is done outside of their own control it can make them feel helpless. They are NOT posting these very personal pictures for clout, but to spread their joy to their friends and followers. That's why so many Japanese fans now feel discouraged from sharing something they love so much with fellow fans--because their boundaries and intentions are not being respected. We want to see the Valentine Gifts and other awesome pictures of TWST merch in the future? Then we need to give our fellow fans the courtesy they deserve. We should NOT act entitled to or feel owed for what is paid content that other people purchased. This should be a GIVEN act of basic human decency. Furthermore, PLEASE remember that in continuing to take pictures that don't belong to you, you're only going to make it harder for yourself to all to see Valentine Gifts moving forward (save for buying all 28 letters yourself, or hunting down the 28 individually on a platform now scarce of the uncensored versions). The OPs’ feelings are obviously much more important than international fans not getting their fix of merch pics, but if that’s how the situation needs to be reframed to make people reconsider their actions, then reframe it we shall. Merch picture theft, combined with international fans misusing the JP fandom's tagging system to increase visibility of their posts (even when the content is not relevant), acting entitled to translations of official and fan content, and instances of international fans acting aggressively and harassing Japanese fans has created an environment of distrust. It's only going to get worse if we can't draw a line in the sand here and now.

The intention in calling attention to this issue is NOT to gatekeep Japanese merch from an international audience. You have MANY options available to you where you can engage with OP’s post, still see and enjoy the content, AND be polite about it.

What's NOT okay to do?:

Taking OP's picture and reposting it with no credit.

Taking OP's picture and editing it (filters, drawing over it, etc.) before reposting.

Asking OP to uncensor the image(s).

Contentious to do:

Quote retweet! (Japanese fans are generally iffy with internet strangers in their mentions. This may vary from OP to OP.)

Commenting on OP's post! (Like QRTing, the Japanese fandom generally does not like comments unless they come from mutuals/people they are familiar with. Again, this may vary from OP to OP. It’s best to preface comments with an “excuse me”, “I’m not a mutual but”, or something along those lines to be polite.)

Linking or crediting the OP in a thread, especially if it is the second tweet or beyond (because not everyone will read the entire thread, and therefore they may miss the credit). If you’re going to credit OP in a thread, do it in the initial tweet or as soon as possible in your own post.

Asking for and getting OP's permission to share their picture in a public space. (I would advise against this one due to potential language barriers. This method may also put OP on the spot to give a certain reply.)

So... what IS okay to do?:

Liking OP's post!

Retweeting (or whatever the equivalent of sharing is) the OP's post!

Sharing OP's post or images in private spaces (ie DMs, among friends/group chats, etc.)

Sharing only the TEXT of merch items in public.

Sharing your OWN pictures.

Random-Mailbox's Favorite Sailor Moon Fics - Week 48 - Food

Today's post theme is Food! How bad Usagi is canonically in making it and what big part it plays in the lives of the senshi.

As always, my apologies in advance for spoiling some of these for you (Fic Titles are linked to either FFN or AO3 entries).

in your arms i’ll stay; my only love - sugared_lips

In this one-shot, Usagi is dealing with her insecurities due to the comments other senshi have made, finally letting Mamoru in to help.

Bento - bakaprincess85

Having poisoned Mamoru once with cookies, Usagi decides she needs to learn how to cook properly.

[side note: make sure you are logged into your AO3 account to access this story, it has been locked down with all the scraping and reposting on other platforms without writer consent]

Good Intentions - SaraJaye

Usagi attempts to make dinner for Mamoru with very explosive results

Snippets: Chapter 2: Bacon - @uglygreenjacket

In this OS, Usagi shows bacon full appreciation it deserves

Nothing a Little Cake Can't Solve - @she-dreams-in-pink

Usagi and Mamoru end up at an impromptu cake testing when trying to hide from the rain.

Box of Chocolates: Chapter 2: Day 4: Date Night - @kasienda

Juggling careers and little kids is HARD! In this short story, Mamoru and Usagi do their best to try and reconnect after 5 weeks 3 days and 4 hours of mostly surviving in the same vicinity.

My Own Little Stage: A Collection of Prompts: Chapter 2: You Look Hungry - @tinacentury

In a post break-up setting, Mamoru comes to Usagi's rescue in more ways than one.

Burnt Cake - @imjustheretoseetheprivateblogs

In this @smquickies2023 story, Mako is doing her best to try to work around a faulty oven and very distracting boyfriend.

Hello and thank you for taking the time to read this

This blog is a SIDE BLOG to my main mod account Any and all asks/follows will be from the account Mod-Jazzy - MINI ABOUT THE BLOG -

This blog follows Jolene, former princess of King Thomas Remington, one of the major lords of The Capital. Before she was kicked out at a young age due to a terrible curse bestowed upon her.

The story is about Jolene and her attempt to finally break the curse that has been plaguing her for years. Along with the enemies.. friends… siblings.. and lovers… that she drags along the way -> This blog will contain Religious Themes/Religious trauma and stuff of that nature. As well as general monsters and myth which may contain body horror, blood and general violence <- Please take note of this if you intend to view this story.

/ This blog was unfortunately deleted on March 4th, 2021. Mod was trying to delete a side blog and accidentally delete their main account, which took all their sideblog’s with it./ /Due to this, all older posts will be tagged with "repost" and some cannot contain Alt text due to tumblr not allowing those edits/

- Mini About the Mod -

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

~ Please read our extensive event info posts before sending us an ask - A link can be found at the end of this post. ~

Q. Is [specific anything] allowed?

When in doubt: JUST DO IT!

Q. Do I have to do all 31 days?

Participate as much or little as you like! Just be sure to tag your posts properly (ex. #no.14, #underpressure). If you post works for 31 total theme days you will become a completionist. But apart from that, there are no repercussions if you don’t fill prompts for each day.

Q. Can I post early/late?

Yes, you can post whenever you want. We will only reblog posts during October, but you can use our prompts all year round. The day you post will only affect your probability of being reblogged.

Q. Will you reblog my post?

Due to the sheer number of content posted during Whumptober we can’t promise to reblog every single post. We will make a random selection trying to capture a wide variety of content. The following will increase your chances at being reblogged:

tag your post properly

post within 2-3 days of the theme you want to fill: if you fill the prompt for Day 1 your chances of being reblogged during October 1st to 3rd are highest and will go towards zero afterwards.

Q. What if I don’t understand a theme?

Send us an ask! We’re happy to help with wild, unhelpful clarifications or brainstorming. That being said, the themes are entirely up for interpretation :) Don’t take them too literally. For example: You can be choking on a cherry, someone else can choke you or you could be choked up on emotions, etc.

Q. What kind of content can I make? Can it be NSFW?

This is a MIXED MEDIA event! You can write fic, post meta, doodle or paint, create a gifset or photo edit, link a song, or get crafty with video - anything goes. As for NSFW, make what you like, we just hope that you’ll tag your work accordingly so that others participating in the event can stay safe :)

Q. Can I combine Whumptober with other creation challenges?

Absolutely! That’s like shooting two whumpees with one bullet :)

Q. Can I upload/repost my Whumptober content to other social media platforms?

Of course! You can post your own content wherever you like (or you can opt to not publish it at all). Additionally we’ve created an AO3 Collection to archive any fics posted there. It can be accessed here. The tumblr blog @whumptober-archive is the official archive, so please respect the boundaries of any closeted whumpers in your social circle :)

Q. Can I use prompts to write a new chapter for an existing fic?

Yes.

Q. An existing fic I am currently writing contains many of the Whumptober prompts, can I use it?

If you are actively writing this fic at the moment with the Whumptober prompts in mind, yes. If it just conveniently checks the boxes, then please don’t. You can, however, add new chapters using one or more of the prompts.

Q. What kind of characters can I write for?

Fandom characters, OC characters, human, furry, alien, cyborg, whoever you like to whump.

Q. Can I use a prompt multiple times?

Yes, but it only counts once

Q. If I’m not comfortable with one day’s prompts can I use a prompt of a different day as a substitute and still be a completionist?

No, you can’t exchange prompts for different days. However, if all four prompts of a specific day make you uncomfortable, we have created an alternate prompts list that you can draw from. You can exchange any prompt with these, but please make sure not to use them twice.

Q. Where can I post my work?

Post where and how you want. You don’t have to (cross)post it to Tumblr or at all. Just keep in mind if it’s not on Tumblr we will not be able to add it to the blog archive.

Q. Can I start posting early?

You can, but this is an October event and wouldn’t it be more fun with everyone doing it at the same time? That being said, you can post early, but we won’t be reblogging any work predating October 1st.

Q. Do I have to finish a fic I started/can I post WIP’s.?

Yes you can post WIPs. And you’re not obligated to finish it in October for it to count towards being a completionist.

Q. Is co-writing allowed?

Yes, absolutely, and it would count towards being a completionist for both/all of you :)

Q. Do I have to create 31 standalone pieces to be considered a completionist or can I write one continuous story?

One continuous story is fine. The challenge is to write something for 31 prompts. If that’s spread over 31 fics or just one, you are still considered a completionist. (The same goes for every other media you choose.)

Q. Is there a min/max limit on word count?

There is no limit.

Q. Can I combine prompts? Is there a limit on how many?

No limit and combine as many as you’d like.

Q. Is a hc/angst focus ok?

Of course!

Q. What’s considered nsfw?

See this post

Q. What is whump?

See this post

Q. My interpretation of the prompt isn’t whumpy at all, does that count?

No, sorry, but keep in mind that whump [see definition] is something very nuanced and different for everyone and emotional whump/angst is just as much part of it, as is physical whump and torture. So before you dismiss your idea, think about this.

Q. Can I start working on the prompts before October?

Absolutely! That’s why we posted the prompts a month in advance. We recognise how difficult it can be creating for 31 days in “real time” so feel free to start writing early!

Q. How do I tag triggers?

Just tag the word, ex. emeto

Q. Do I have to use your tags?

If you want your work archived on the blog, then yes. If not, feel free to use whatever tags you want.

Q. Does combining prompts count towards completion?

Yes

Q. Can we @ you?

Yes but we mostly rely on the #whumptober2022 tag

Q. Is there anything we are absolutely not allowed to write?

There are no rules, but please make sure to properly tag your trigger warnings. And keep in mind Tumblr’s policies if you are posting it here (or the policies for whatever site you use).

Q. Where can I go for brainstorming help?

Here on Discord or come into our ask box :)

Q. My characters are minors, is that ok?

Yes, but as with everything else, tags are your best friend.

Q. Can I cross post on other blogs?

Yes, multiple platforms and blogs are perfectly acceptable. You can also post different works to different accounts under different names, without posting them everywhere at once.

Note: This is a creation challenge, please don’t repost your old work under our tags (unless it’s been changed or edited for the event).

hey friend!!!! obviously you know i looooove everything you write, but I do have a question, since I know you also have the shire is burning on wattpad/ao3 and it is an oc fic. i have an eddie x oc fic that i’ve been actively working on for almost a year and i’ve been considering posting it to tumblr (since my oneshot for a diff fandom that i have posted did decently well in my books) as well as wattpad but i’m really on the fence about also updating on here or maybe doing like posts where i share the link. how do you feel about having an oc fic and posting it on here and other platforms?

i only ask because you are one of the authors that i actively keep up with that does write anything with an oc and posts on here and on other platforms :)))

also feel free to answer this on private if you want, i know it’s a bit of a different ask than you normally get but i’ve been so torn about it lately!! i hope you are having an amazing day friend!!

hi love!!! i’m gonna go ahead and answer this publicly cause i’ve been asked about it before (specifically if i’d ever repost shire on here properly) if it’s cool with you 🖤

i personally won’t ever dip my toes in posting my oc stories on here (at least full chapters) rather than ao3/wattpad due to knowing oc fics on here get little to no attention. which is a shame. but i also get it, because each site functions for different things when it comes to fics! ao3 is known for long and epic stories, tumblr is known for short and sweet reader fics, etc. honestly, prior to 24, my little corner of the internet was fairly small because i was only writing oc. if you’re looking for the story getting more traction, i just wouldn’t recommend here for actual posting of chapters :-( (although maybe times are changing! this is just something i’ve noticed in both past fandoms and this one)

that being said — tumblr has a lot of strengths in using it in tangent with those other sites! like you said, you can post announcements of when you’ll update or when you have updated with links, fanart is more popular here, you can create more visuals for your fics, etc.! also i primarily moved here for the social aspect. it’s a lot easier to connect with everyone who reads my fics on here rather than somewhere like ao3 🖤 ALSO people who dig oc might catch sight of your announcements in the tags, and so it does have potential to help you gain an audience in a way. (again, if that’s what you’re looking for!!)

TLDR: essentially, tumblr is cool to make friends as you write and make it look pretty. ao3/wattpad is awesome for long stories and (another huge factor for me) anonymity.

i say do whatever feels right for you! i’ve had more issues actually posting on here as well, for what it’s worth. like general technological difficulties. but that just might be me and my grandma approach to technology haha

i hope this drawn out ramble helped/gave some perspective and that you are also having such a wonderful day, my friend <3 also always feel free to reach out with any further questions!!! (and to let me know when you do post 🥰)

#i am no expert by any means tho #my favorite site is ao3 without a doubt when it comes to the actual posting #gathering readers and format is so much easier there!#especially with new fics!#thank u ily <3 #i’ve actually been also doing analyzing of where i prefer to post recently with a few new fic ideas #for example: i probably will post my steddie fic primarily to ao3 haha #but steve harrington x reader and maroon on here are free game 😏#water-loos <3

With all that said, please be patient and kind <3

Hello all and Welcome to The Scout's Archives. I'm Scout, your Archivist. The Scout's Archives, also known as my Masterlist, will now be slowly updated for you all to browse through. The Scout's Archives also has another location. You can also find me on A03. Just serch for TheScoutsCodex. Happy reading!

🔖🔖🔖🔖

Before you can enter the archives lets go over the overview and some rules.

This Archives is SFW. That being said, I do have some works that can be a little dark with some triggering themes. I will mark those with a Waring before hand. Other than that, everything here is SFW.

Now for the rules:

Constructive Criticism is okay but hate comments are not.

This rule is self explanatory so I won't go into depth with it. I don't mind tips, suggestions, advice. etc. Just remember that if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say it at all.

Next rule, reposting my work on Tumblr with credit is allowed but reposting my work on another platform is not allowed.

Reposting, like I said very much appreciated as long as you ask for permission and properly credit me. please use this custom tag if you do. #Thescoutscodex.

Now that the rules and overview have been addressed, let's take a look around.

Need to know when new works are being posted? Take a look at the Schedule.

Every two weeks: WIP part/update will be posted.

Every week: posts on twst, updates, mini-updates, re-blogs, and maybe some of my own art work.

Take a walk through the Night Raven Codex. Where all things about Night Raven are published.

The Night Raven Codex

Send a letter to the Archivist. _〆(・∀・)

Requests and Asks:

At this point in time, my Asks and Requests are N/A. This is simply due to the fact that I don't have much of a following yet. ꒰๑•̥﹏•̥๑꒱ But don't worry, they will be open at some point.

Now to go over Requsts and Ask rules:

The rules of the Requests and Asks are very similar to the blog rules. Keep the Requests and Asks appropriate. This is all I ask.

That being said, I do not mind the Request being of my OC. Whether it be a question about them or wanting to see something happen. The same thing goes for the Asks. I don't mind questions about me(As long as they are not too personal) my blog, or things about Twst Wonderland.

Take a look inside the Archivist's notebook. ┻┳|･ω･)

Notes by series:

"Bonding"

The last thing for this masterlist is my notes. I will be making posts on things I have referenced. Terms/words I used, terms/works I used in different languages. Links will be provided as well for others to use as well. :>

This is where my art will be linked to.

Do not claim the artwork or design as your own, I wont hesistate to block you from my profile if you have a long record of doing that on your page. if you just forget to add the credit we can work something out privately.

You May:

Alter the artwork/character in any way, shape or form, as long as proper credit is given to me for the initial design and artwork.

Repost the work on any platform as long as you properly credit me (Tag me or link my socials)

Claim the work as your own

Trace my work and call it your own

Heavily reference my work without crediting me or notifying me.

General

You can contact me through my DMs on any of my platforms, my ToyHouse or in the comments on this bulletin. you can claim a commission slot through either platform and i will message you after i reply to your comment. you can choose to keep chatting through here or talk to me about your commission on my instagram (chaitigers)

I will try to send regular commission updates, you can request more if i dont send any for a long time, dont hesitate to ask or remind me about your comm! (pls dont spam my DMs though)

If I have any troubles with your commission i will message you and tell you what's going on. it may cause me to take a bit longer to complete the commission or i will drop it altogether and refund you the money.

I take paypal as payment. when i accept your commission i will send you the paypal account and will receive the payment upfront before starting on your commission. In special cases (mostly when I am the one to suggest it) I will accept Steam, Nintendo or Amazon giftcards, as well as Discord Nitro. the value of each will be equal to the price of the commission. If you're having any economic issues we can work out a payment plan for large commissions (100+ dollars)

Please do not ask for a commission slot unless they're open, I will notify when my commissions are open on my socials. ( I have a a pinglist for anyone interested in a commission slot)

Designs and Adopt ToS

Due to it being a personal preference and precaution, I only allow custom designs to be documented and archived either in ToyHouse and Character Hub. I will provide the commissioner with a toyhouse/characterhub profile for the character once it is finished, or once the transaction is complete. If teh character is deleted from either platform i will consider STOLEN.

Please don't turn on authorization settings or unlist the character profile.

Don't make a new/separate profile for the character after I've transferred it to you.

You may alter the design but credit me/the original artist for the original design and creation of the character.

If you got the character for free (Raffle prize, freebie, trade) you may only retrade it for something of the same value but not sell it unless it has extra art on it's profile.

Do Not delete the character profile I have made for the character after I have transferred it.

If there is an issue or inconvenience regarding the characters profile (like it being taken down, not loading etc, any inconvenience in general) the comissioner can notify me or i will notify them. If the issue is not fixed i will consider issuing a warnining to the person in private.

Not complying with any of the terms above will result in a blacklist, if there are any issues they can be discussed and resolved by contacting me in any of my platforms.
