#so many culture blogs!

[squarebracket-trickster]

By the way, lurkers are welcome on my blog<33

Yeah, yeah, Writeblr is a community and all that. But I get it.

Some of us have anxiety disorders. Some of us are (or were once) minors on the internet who had it drilled into us to never make our presence known in online spaces lest we get stalked or groomed.

It's okay if interacting is outside of your comfort zone.

Some of us aren't actually on tumblr enough to make making a Writeblr intro worth it.

Some of us prefer to take a few months, maybe years, observing the community to learn the rules. And let's face it, there is a huge learning curve to Tumblr culture. I came here from Pinterest in like 2018 and hooo boy was it intimidating!

Like, I was that 17 year old pinterest lurker with an anxiety disorder who was taught that internet safety meant "never comment on anything" who took a few years before I felt comfortable enough with tumblr culture to reblog things with tags, let alone make public posts.

So I guess what I am saying is, I can't judge. Because I've been there.

Writeblr is a community. And the community (for me) is the best part. And remember that if you don't contribute to the community you don't get to complain about it either. But this is also a public space. Silent observers are to be expected. And on my blog you are welcome.

#I do really think we people who have been here a while forget just how many social rules there are in tumblr culture #I mean ask games and tag games have etiquette #then theres reblogging with commentary versus leaving a comment versus talking in the tags #then there's what tags are appropriate to use on an original post #then there's tumblr's specific vernacular and sense of humour #then there are post formatting conventions #and just learning what tags exist and how to search them #how to organize and sort your own blog #I'm forgetting something but like There is So Much

Which is your favorite platform? (of the ones you have accounts to post things I mean. I can't imagine it being Instagram since you don't really post there which honestly fair)

Tumblr, Twitter (X?) bluesky? Something else?

I think I'm going to have to go with tumblr, and it's not just because we're here. Twitter and Bluesky are nice and my experiences on both are overwhelmingly positive. But tumblr has an atmosphere that encourages originality, sharing your creations and talking about things in depth.

#I dislike the mindset of making “content” and when I'm posting here I don't feel like I have to tailor my posts to be #as easily consumable by as many people as possible #microblogging platforms are fast paced and you're constantly fighting the algorithm #making long text posts is inconvenient and usually not worth the trouble #so I rarely talk about my characters or their lore outside of tumblr #what's nice is that when you ramble about your personal projects and fictional fixations here people tend to be pretty receptive to it #like they Get These Feelings and are able to analyze and read between the lines really well at least if you ask me #on top of that customizing your browsing experience and curating an organized blog is easier #and above everything I love and cherish tumblr's tag culture #very often the best commentary I get comes from tags #answered #anonymous #instagram continues to give me bad vibes and going there has always felt like a chore

Just to make something clear, Gaelic paganism (and folk practices) is not closed, you do not need any initiation and anyone telling you need "celtic" blood is just a racist. Anyone in the world from anywhere in the world can do it.

That doesn't mean you can pick and choose what words and figures you like from it, remove them from their original contexts, add nonsense information and claim it as fact (UPG should always be labeled as such especially if its in complete opposition to established lore). And then claim these terms and ideas actually have nothing to do with Ireland, The Isle of Mann and Highland Scotland. This is appropriation. Especially when this is all being spearheaded by English people in the 50s.

#irish paganism #irish mythology #celtic paganism #i promise thats the last one #i have gotten off my highhorse #paganism #so many people around the globe practice various froms of celtic spirituality in a way thats respectful but also personal and unique to the #it is possible people do it #there are some great blogs on tumblr even from the usa canada Argentina etc #tae #mine #also living culture is important

something something identity something something culture

#jumblr #jewblr #i dunno if this is the kind of thing that really belongs on my silly blog but ive been wanting to draw it for two days #this is just about feeling connection to culture #and i dunno i know the whole 'is judaism considered a race' thing is iffy as all hell #because it IS an ethnic group and i see it in basically every bloodline person ive met #there is a familiar look #our grandparents and babies look the exact same #of course converts are lovely and welcome and i'm not gatekeeping #but so long of just being like 'who am i? ah. i am nobody #i am a white girl from california who knows nothing of nothing' is a drastic understatement #i've dealt with anti semitism since i was a child #it has been everywhere #not many people understand it because its just...well we dont look that different (to the people who matter) (bad people can tell right awa #the immeasurable trauma of the holocaust and the weight of our grandparents and everything else is just so crushing...AND we look caucasian #is there no fate worse??? lmao #not saying i'm not caucasian of course i think two things can be true at once #but i think meeting someone and realizing we have the same face and with it faced the same hardship is really really meaningful #because to just say i'm some 'stupid white girl from california' is a butchering undercut of everything i actually am

absolutely insane take from the priest this past sunday but apparently he doesn't consider marriages only carried out at the courthouse and not through the church as real marriages so if you got married and didnt get a specifically catholic marriage then having sex is still a sin. absolutely baffling take along with the rest of the purity culture bs he was spouting

#shay speaks #ex catholic #ex christian #purity culture #new post from shay on the vent blog yippie!!!!! /s #sorry i cant stop thinking about this like is it that important to you. #my gf and i arent super religious so i cannot imagine we'll have a religious ceremony if we do get married one day #i would prefer not to but if she wants it then i'm not gonna say no either #but that's besides the point like. idk man a marriage is a marriage does it really have to be through the church to count #what if you got married before you converted do you have to get. remarried? #thats more rhetorical idk how many people are converting post-marriage if they didnt marry a catholic #ie my dad who i do not think has actually been confirmed or gone through the conversion process #and yet he takes communion anyway which is such a big no no in the catholic church

"average person creates 3 new AUs per year" factoid actually just statistical error. average person makes 0 AUs per year. Alternate Universes Catie, who lives in cave & makes over 2 each month, is an outlier adn should not have been counted

#i think about how many ive made this year and i feel a bit woozy #its so funny bcs ive always been weirdly staunch abt not making AUs for my own characters #<- just bcs i wanna establish them and putting them in different AUs makes it a bit less stable so #and them i start drawing fanart for the first time in my life and go absolutely nuts #let me think hmm i think ive made 8 or so this year 🤔 #not all of them have art yet but they do haunt me #like also does it count if you make offshoots of your own AUs 😭 #i have too many thoughts ;;;;; #also i think its just bcs i really crave learning new info #and ive learned *a lot* about f1 so its fun to make AUs by learning more abt smth else and then combining them #like hmm how do these real world events fit into early 18th century europe JSKFKGLLVLV #actually i *do* live in cave. me and my dark bedroom 🤧 #if you stay on my blog you WILL get a history or culture lesson abt some inane thing #catie.rambling.txt #*i need to start putting 'scheduled' in the tags of posts so you guys dont get a horrible perception of my sleep schedule #well it is horrible. but not horrible enough that im staying up *too* late

[gayspock]

not to sound like a cunt but i swear like 2 jokes about something will get passed around and then a load of dipshits will start twisting that everyone is so Utterly Vacuous... god forbid if every post you post to your tumblr blog is not an indepth reflection of your thoughts and feelings. for your tumblr blog is reflective of your Inner mind and soul and you must summon yourself to the Calling of crafting the most perfect and eloquent analysis of the video essay that dropped 2 fucking days ago .

#egg.txt #this is about the hbomberguy shit soirry lol #like i see one or two jokes abt haha he took them out ) #and then suddenly its like: THE WHOLE CONVERSATION IS JUST ABOUT THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU MISSED THE POINT #DUDE its like a 2-3 ppl on tumblr who made joke posts that got traction #not to mention yes: ive seen MANY ppl posting abt how sad and unfortunate this all is #but those posts arent gonna get traction bc theyre quiet fuckin reflections on a topic for now #as such yeah bro the tag is dominated by jokes that really arent that serious. #idk ugh sorry to be such a twist im just soooo sick of the vibe everyone brings of like: #i see lighthearted jokes in this tag. HOW DARE YOU ALL DO THIS. YOU ARE ALL SO FUCKING STUPID AND YOU TAKE NOTHING SERIOUS. #like yes its a serious topic but again .... TWO GOD DAMN DAYS AFTER THE VIDEO DROPPED NO LESS... the thing thats gonna ALWAYS float to the #top of a tag is quick jokes. #and besides its like if you WANT to have those conversations thats great??? like cultivate them bro?? #WHY not cultivate them instead of dominating the conversation with how stupid everyone is and how above them you are? #idk man its not just abt this #its abt sooooo much with the fuckn culture some ppl foster on this website #its the exact same with sillier shit like media #where some ppl think that u reblogging jokes abt a show / sth is like THE ONLY THOUGHTS YOU HAVE ON SOMETHING #blah blah blah you have such a superficial opinion of the characters and so forth #like relax. i just prefer to have discussions abt things not on my blog #jesus wept some ppl are desperate to think everyone is stupid

[disassociation-culture-is]

kinda weird question (ifs fine if you don't answer) how do you know you're a system?

Anon, that is a question that is hard to answer without writing an entire essay & has been answered in many ways by many people. The first step, in my opinion, is to look over the diagnostic criteria. Regardless of your belief on the disordered status of plurality, the diagnostic criteria for DID & OSDD-1b and 1a lays out some of the more typical aspects of plurality that may be helpful for a questioning system.

The major difference between DID & OSDD and dissociation as a symptom of other disorders is, of course, the presence of alters. Dissociative amnesia, fugue states, and even changes of personality are not symptoms exclusive to DID & OSDD, and non-disorded models of plurality may not require DID & OSDD symptoms.

Alters, however, can be hard to define - The theory of structural dissociation suggest that dissociation exists on a spectrum, from the emotional state of PTSD, to the more extreme dissonance sometimes found in BPD, to alters in DID & OSDD systems. Generally speaking, they are distinguished by the memory barriers between them, which may be blackout amnesia (unable to remember anything), or emotional amnesia (do not feel that you were in control of those actions), or some mixture of the two.

Discovery of the presence of alters can be a challenge for the very same reason - if you don't remember that somebody else was controlling your body, then you will not question it. Therefore, physical communication (e.g. diaries) is strongly encouraged for systems who do not have good internal communication (ability to hear & distinguish the "mental voice" of alters who are currently fronting). Please note that alters sometime may not be aware that they are alters, and if they are, may attempt to avoid discovery, so this is not a foolproof technique.

DID & OSDD & general plurality is also prone to very varying presentation, which can make it harder to figure out. Having two alters is just as possible as having five hundred, and alters may consider themselves parts of a whole, or completely distinct individuals. There is no advice I could give which may not be contradicted by another plural person, so do take everything I say with a grain of salt.

Keep track of your symptoms, keep a log, keep an open mind - being a system is not a death sentence, but neither is being mistaken - and do your own research. There is a lot of resources of varying reliability out there, so do exercise caution & critical thinking, but hopefully they will be helpful. Good luck, Anon.

what grinds my gears, and happen so very often:

short post, and just for my blog (here just to have place to input it in)

0/27, 17/04/24 Random thoughts

many intenrnet posts about "how people love..." to be awake at 1-5am, "just to be in..." dark and silence, alone, with their thoughts - when one person pinpoints it, it is romantic for a while. but then, it starts to (get popular,) feel sacharine and there are copycats andcomments to it. makes one wonder ?how so?"

...

what to do? it feels like the best era already happened, and we live in the last era - last juice of past glory - pastiche of it. '97-'15 peak (/before big-media...). after that, culture and society went to era of "meta-criticism", being critical about why [it] is so critical... - gives me the same "vibes" as if... your dreams came true, - but then , as if - you start to feel guilty, lied to (sorts of "suffering from success"), weird ("and now what!") - similar to about any [post-revolution] (brainfog) zeitgeist - you got what you want(ed), - but how to assure this wont repeat, that [*this*] will not be took for granted (...), forgotten, and bagatelized - (new-)normalized, - simplified, and >> used in (some, pol.) future campaign , and or used in some form of (pol., soc.) coercion?!! - - just *another* status quo, "without" history!

(they npcs accept unacceptable)

[transmasc-cultureis]

aroace transmasc culture is feeling alienated by the phrase "girls gays and theys"

transmasc culture is!

#gosh yeah. like sure it could be an easier way to address more people but it still excludes so many people who don't fall in those categorie #s. like it's a term thats SUPPOSED to be inclusive but it's not. i don't really know how else to describe it. i agree it's sort of alienati #transmasc #transmasc culture is #transmasc culture asks #transmasc asks #mod kepler #mod willow #<- don't know if you've seen me around but i am also here. i'm assuming since we made a different culture blog around the same time you guy #will get it

[cluster-b-culture-is]

(this ask isnt really meant to be answered but if youd like to or to post about it go ahead)

tw for ableist and abuse mentions

this person called idkpillows has been reblogging your posts (specifically ones that are violent in nature), which it in itself isnt bad, but they believe in borderline, antisocial, and narcissistic abuse. idk exactly why they are reblogging them but i assume to prove that those disorders are "dangerous", and that those kinds of abuse is "real". which.. is really nasty.

idk if you have blocked them yet but if you havent i really suggest doing so since they like infiltrating npd, aspd, and bpd safe spaces in specific

so sorry to bring this bad news but i feel its safer to send this ask than for one of your mods seeing any of their posts without warning.

um yeah thank you for reading this

Eugh, we'll have them blocked right away. Thanks for the heads up, anon; I recommend other folks block them too, just to be safe. (I don't, however, recommend harassing them--even if I did condone harassment (which I don't in any situation), doing so would just prove their point, whatever that may be)

#not cluster b culture #Mod Reef #anonymous #unqueued #i'm not going to say not to scroll through their blog (because i know many cluster Bs have low impulse control and aversion to authority) #(and so may scroll through their blog just out of spite. not in a negative way but because i know i'd do the same lmao) #but fair warning: they post/reblog a lot of nasty shit and all of their top posts (didn't scroll through more than five) are. Not Great #i don't recommend scrolling through their blog especially if you're sensitive to posts about pwASPD/NPD being more abusive and whatnot #but if you feel like you need to see for yourself then just be aware that that IS what you'll find #take care of yourselves y'all

oh right, i changed main accs like last year and transferred this side blog, but never got back into using it! so now i don't follow a single account </3 so if we used to be mutuals (or if you'd like to be!) could you please reply to this or interact somehow...? i've missed being here

#but it's so hard to what's it called... burst the bubble! like pop the surface! when you start fresh on a website like this #i made my old tumble account in 2013! and i was on here till like... early 2021? but SOOO much has changed! it's a little crazy #now i don't know how to use the website anymore lmao #the culture seems to have changed a bit (both the humour and like... idk it seems more lainback and less high stakes than it used to be? #which is nice! but i'm a little out of it haha) #.txt #anyway. please interact with this or inbox me if you'd like to be mutuals! i have a grand total of zero (0) mutuals rn. and followed blogs #and the whole what's it called! interface! like the whole website design and how it works! there are so many goddamn tabs now?? #recommended posts. staff picks. for you. followed topics and tags. based on your tags... everything! so much new stuff #(old man voice) back when i was young and a tumblr user we had none of this 'functional website' bullshit #we were downright rawdogging it but we were sticking together!
