So it seems like tumblr has finally rolled out the new post editor for photosets, which does mean it is finally the end of the image captions
For those of you that are unaware, in photosets you have the option to add a ‘caption’ to the image, that shows up when it’s clicked (see below). I love putting little comments or jokes in many of my photosets, and was a big fan of this feature
Tumblr media
Going forwards it looks like this has been replaced with an alt text option for each photo, which while less sightly is probably about as equivalent as it’s going to get
Tumblr media
All this to say I reached out to tumblr support and it does seem like the caption feature is pretty much done, and will probably be phased out on older posts soon. That means that the next few days I’ll be going through all my old art posts to save those captions for my own records, but I wanted to post this publicly in case other people were a fan of this feature/wanted to archive their own commentary, and to tell everyone that likes my stuff about all the silly little comments currently on all my old art if you’d like to check them out before they’re removed!

10 Free Kdrama Sites That Nobody Will Tell You About
Tumblr media
Let’s be real here, even though most of us want to watch Korean dramas all day, not all of us can afford high price margins of streaming platforms. Given the fact that a big part of Korean drama fans are still students, it’s only natural to look for affordable ways to keep enjoying Kdramas in the best possible way. 
This is why I decided to share these 10 free Kdrama sites that no one will tell you about. I have personally used these sites before and these work just fine. But you will need a little guide on how to use these and I am here to teach you the hacks. 
So, read the blog till the end and discover the wonder that free Kdrama sites have to offer. Without further ado let’s get into the list. 
10 free Kdrama sites for streaming
10. Dramafire 
Starting with my least favorite site, Dramafire, this one is quite complicated and I myself don’t understand how to navigate through it properly. Nonetheless, it can be one of the best free Kdrama sites if you know your way through it. 
The very first thing that upsets me is that there are a ton of different versions of the same site and if you don’t know which one is the real one, you are bound to get lost (just as I did). The next negative point is that there are both videos and blog posts, so you need to filter through those if you want to land on the dramas. 
Another thing is that I don’t know yet, if there are any options of downloading or not, as it was quite difficult for me to navigate through the site. But again it’s better to have something other than having nothing. 
So, you can bookmark this site and use this if your favorite free Kdrama sites aren’t working properly.
9. MyAsianTV
Next in the list, we have MyAsianTV. Even though I haven’t yet used it personally, the interface of this website looks promising. Unlike most of the free Kdrama sites, this one is organized and has different sections, where you can find the most recent Kdramas and the most popular ones of recent time. 
There are very minimal advertisements, which is another plus point. You can also search for the dramas you are looking for through the search bar. 
Not only Kdramas, but there are also movies and shows that you can easily find out by browsing through the different tabs and the search bar. Downloading here is very easy. However, just as the other free Kdrama sites, it will redirect you to different websites, which you need to be aware of. Other than that MyAsianTV is a standard free Kdrama site that you can use as your permanent choice for watching or downloading Kdramas for free. 
8. Dramahood 
Next up, we have Dramahood as our 8th free Kdrama site. Honestly, I didn’t like this one. It has a clean interface but that is rather glitchy. The dashboard took quite a lot of time to load, which means you shouldn’t expect much of an user-friendly experience. 
The dashboard has a list of some of the most popular dramas and movies of all time, which would be better if replaced with the on-going series and movies. 
I haven’t downloaded anything from this site, so I can’t review that experience but beware of the ads. Everything you tap will redirect you to another site, which is certainly very annoying. 
But again, if your favorite free Kdrama sites aren’t working then this can be plausible choice.
7. Amazon Mini TV (For indian fans)
Amazon Mini TV is a very special feature as one of the free Kdrama sites for the Indian Kdrama fans. You can watch Kdramas for free, that too, from a trusted provider such as Amazon. But there are cons. 
First of all, Amazon Mini TV is not an official streaming platform, it is rather a small inclusion to the Amazon ecommerce application. Hence, you can not expect the quality that Amazon prime Kdramas offers. 
Secondly, the limitations of Kdramas are striking. There are very few Kdramas that you can browse through and watch. So, there is a bigger chance of you not finding the drama that you are looking for. 
Thirdly, all the Kdramas are dubbed in Hindi. Many of you might like it but I prefer watching Kdramas in the original version (as it keeps my Korean under practice).  
So, Amazon Mini TV might not become the kind of free Kdrama sites that you are looking for. However, it doesn’t hurt to try, right?

3 easy things to do so you don't get locked out of your AO3 account
(Prefacing this by saying that while I am chair of the Support committee and thus handle plenty of attempted account recovery situations, this is unofficial advice based on my own observations.)
OK, ideally you would never get locked out of your AO3 account. You would keep your email address there up to date so if you ever did forget your password, you can request a reset and get right back in. Or you would use a password manager and never forget your password again. But sometimes things happen - maybe you used an older email that you no longer have access to, or you can't remember which of 27 different fannish emails you used, and now you want to get back into your account but you can't. I get it, it can happen easily enough.
Here are 3 things you can do with relatively minimal effort that would potentially make it easier to recover your account if you do get inadvertently locked out.
Put some social media links in your AO3 Profile. Add your tumblr, your twitter, your dreamwidth, your fanfiction.net or wattpad, or whatever you feel comfortable putting there. If you don't want to put your "real" social media there (for whatever reason - stalkers, nosy family, don't like mixing fannish and real life, etc.) go MAKE a fannish account somewhere else purely for the purpose of linking it on AO3. Keep those accounts active (by which I mean, don't lose the email/password there too! Maybe even use a different email address than you use on AO3, so if your email access suddenly shuts down one day, you haven't lost both accounts.)
Post a work or two! Even if you are mainly using your account for reading/bookmarking/subscribing, write a drabble or a short fic and post it. You can disable comments, make it restricted to archive users only, etc. if you don't want to deal with potential feedback. You can even post it to an anon collection if you want to keep people from knowing it was you. It doesn't have to be a masterpiece, just a valid fanwork (so don't just post some random words or something).
In conjunction with #1 and 2, cross-post a work from another site. If you have older fanfics you never imported from Livejournal or Wattpad or fanfiction.net, import them now! If you have a little series of ficlets you wrote for a prompt on tumblr or twitter once, archive those. (Yes, even if you think they're bad or embarrassing. They still deserve to be archived! See above about making a work anon or restricting access if you prefer.) If you don't have pre-existing older works posted elsewhere, write a new story, post your story somewhere else (say, on dreamwidth or tumblr), and then a day or two later, archive it on AO3.
Even doing one or two of these things would make the chances of recovering your account higher, but doing all three would be ideal!

AI BS because WTF guys
So like, I know I have a lot of WIP out there. A lot of fic I haven’t updated in a long time but have no plans of abandoning because I love all of my writing and I do have plans for all of my works. It’s just finding motivation that’s the issue, not the intent to finish them.
If I’d planned to never work on something again, I’d do what most people do these days and label it as Abandoned. Hell, if I hated it and decided to axe it completely, I’d just remove it.
There are plenty of fic I follow that haven’t been update in a long time - some over a decade, and that’s fine - and I love to reread and daydream about potential endings. A fun way to pass the time, because I can come up with the endings or continuations in my own way even if they never get finished.
I don’t, however, contemplate stealing them.
There are authors that I follow that have abandoned some of my fav of their works or left fandoms entirely, and that’s fine. I have never once thought while rereading a fic I know will never be continued “hey, what if I steal this and feed it into a capitalist machine for my own amusement?” because that’s not what decent people do. We don’t steal from people, even if they aren’t doing things in the fandoms or fic that we love, because why the fuck would we.
Who the fuck does that? No writer would thank you for it, and there is no doubt that you would know it’s wrong to take someone’s work like that.
Fandom isn’t perfect, but I want to think that the vast majority aren’t the kind of people who are so selfish and uncaring as this.
I haven’t removed Tsundoku from ffnet despite the many issues I have with the site, even though I haven’t updated it in an age, because someone who uses a text to voice app that works with ffnet better than Ao3 asked me not to. I could have done so despite the toxicity that I’ve known with the fandom on that site, but for someone else’s comfort I’ve left it up.
I haven’t stopped writing despite some truly unpleasant people trying to start shit in comments for their own petty, small minded amusement, even on Ao3. Where it is infinitely better than on ffnet, in my personal experience. I haven’t stopped updating and haven’t removed my works from the web even though trolls and shit stirrers exist.
But if I find out that someone has stolen my fics - no matter how long it’s been since I updated them - and fed them to a fucking AI of any kind, I will remove all my works and never post a goddamn thing again. I changed my settings on Ao3 to users only to potentially avoid the chance of being mined by some AI bullshit, and if I’m betrayed by even the fellow users of Ao3, I’ll just quit. I won’t like it, but I’ll fucking do it.
What else can I do? At that point? Where even real, live people in fandom just... steal from me to go expressly against my wishes? Who don’t respect my time, effort and creativity?
What would be the point of writing if someone doesn’t appreciate the time, effort and goddamn passion I’ve put into my works? Because feeding fic into an AI to get “an ending” - so fucking insulting - says that you don’t respect the authors writing and you don’t respect them as people. I’m sure there are some people - I can’t picture it, but I’m sure they might exist in some fictional universe - who don’t care.
I care. I really fucking care.
This isn’t about plagiarism or anything. I don’t make money from writing fanfic, I just have fun and like to play in sandboxes and share those ideas with my readers, hoping in good faith that they also enjoy and respect my efforts. There are plenty of fics and art that I’ve seen that are similar to my own works, and that’s fucking awesome. I’ve got some other authors who link me as inspired by, and so far I haven’t had any issues with people wholesale stealing my fics.
Who cares about a few similar lines or paragraphs in the grand scheme of things, because holy shit two cakes yaaaassss am I right? That’s just the way of things. If it’s like a whole chapter or more, then it’s like “hey bro, uh, nani the fuck” but I haven’t had the actual plagiarism issue. I’m flattered when someone has a style or idea that is similar to my own, because that means I’m at that point in my writing where someone is learning their own writing style based on mine.
That is nice. Flattering. Makes me feel like some kind of fandom parent or whatever, patting the little fandom babies on the back as they grow into themselves. You use that culture and world building I started - do it child! Expand! I’m so proud of those little shits.
This AI shit? That is not flattering.
That just makes me feel sick. Violated.
The thought that someone would just throw out that bridge - that trust - between writer and reader, just fucking burn it down, is so, so fucking horrifying. I don’t know how to express it, but my hands literally started to shake when I first learned that someone would steal work because it wasn’t finished and feed it to an AI without so much as a by-your-leave.
I have so many WIPs guys. So many beloved fic that I wanted to share even if they weren’t near done. I’d never thought I’d be afraid of posting something unfinished, but now I’m pretty fucking terrified.
And angry. So, so angry.
There are authors who stopped writing their fic for various reasons, who have disappeared from fandom, not because they don’t have inspiration or are experiencing burnout, but because they died. That’s right, you’re potentially whining about someone not finishing their WIP because their lives ended. I can’t even express how much writers not finishing their fics more than likely doesn’t have a thing to do with you.
Unless you harassed someone off a platform, then more often than not people don’t care about you when it comes to updating. Funnily enough, more often than not, it’s not about you.
If you’re upset about someone not finishing a fic - something that’s done for free and fun, shared without expectation - I would like you to think of that potential worst case scenario and take a goddamn chill pill. Sure, that’s not the result in some cases, thank all the gods, but it could be. It could be someone that didn’t just dip out of a fandom or abandoned a fic; it could be so much worse, and you’re stealing from them. They don’t even have a chance to consent - not that I think they would - and you stealing their hard work because “wah, I want to see the end boohoo” is just the epitome of being a giant, entitled piece of shit.
Why the fuck would you disrespect someone’s work by stealing it to give it to a machine that is literally built to be a capitalistic feeder? Why do you care so little about writers that you would do something like this?
If you don’t like that something isn’t finished, you can always ask to write a continuation. You can link as “inspired by” and write your own, if you’re that desperate. You don’t want to/think you can’t write? Live with it. Professional writers drop series or go on hiatus for decades all the time. And they get paid.
We don’t have to share our work with you. Honestly, I have plenty of people outside of wider fandom that I can share my work with privately and never worry about someone stealing my shit again. The fact that I’m contemplating that eventuality of someone going against my wishes, violating my contribution to fandom and the love I have of my work is just - awful.
It feels awful. Like, I have angry tears of frustration in my eyes as I’m writing this.
Writing for people who enjoy it is a joy! Interacting with people about my fics is one of the highlights of fandom! Getting comments - even the dreaded wall of emojis or “update soon” right after an update - is enough to brighten even the worst of days!
People who decide that their personal wants with an author’s work is more important than going on that journey with them? Deciding not to respect the author? That kills the joy.
The trust.
The drive.
I have less desire to write and post since learning about this, and I’m trying to fight back against that depressive wave of “what’s the point?” but it’s so fucking hard guys. If someone is going to decide to steal my shit anyway, what’s the fucking point in trying to continue or find inspiration?
I don’t want to have to leave fandom as a creator. I don’t want to take away my fic from the people who love it, who have been following my fics for years and respect that I can’t always wrap my soggy brain meat around a fic and leave it for a while - sometimes years - to work on other things. I don’t want to.
But I will.
To protect myself, my choices, my writing? To protect myself? I’ll leave.
It won’t be the first relationship that’s soured and gotten bad that I’ve needed to drop like hot coals, but it will be the longest lasting one. It’ll hurt, and maybe I’ll have regrets, but I’ll fucking do it because I won’t be disrespected and have my writing used like this.
Outside of fandom there’s already so much shit that I cannot stomach having to deal with this kind of fuckery here as well. Fandom isn’t necessarily a “safe space” but it has always been an escape and somewhere that I can have fun. That I can at least trust people to appreciate my writing when I manage to update someone after a while, even if it’s a small thing.
I don’t know what kind of asshole you have to be to decide to steal someone’s work, someone’s joy, and do something like this - at least outright plagiarism is almost flattering. I’m not the most popular writer out there, but I’ve been in fandom for a while, and it takes all kinds. All kinds does not include the AI that we’ve been suddenly having to defend ourselves against since they became a real problem.
This is just a slap in the face.
The fact that maybe there are people out there in fandom who are acting like the AI Trojan Horse, stealing our works - our time, effort, creative process and enjoyment - and doing things like this? It’s so fucking disheartening and hurtful and just downright cruel.
So yeah. Please don’t steal my shit. Don’t steal anyone’s work and do something like this. You’re doing more damage than you seem to think. Not that I’m sure you’re thinking at all.
Maybe you - the people who do this - don’t care. Maybe that’s why you did it in the first place. Maybe writers don’t count as real people to you, not when it comes to fanfic or anything. Maybe you are just that selfish that only your own wants matter.
Maybe you don’t care about how I, we, feel.
But I do.

Do you have any advice for someone wanting to create a small archive like you did with the Silmarillion Writers' Guild? I think there's a good chance that the way AI is in the news right now leads to more energy being directed towards smaller community-specific archives and I'd love to know more about how you came to start the SWG. (I'm the fans4writers person who misrepresented your post—a correction has been added!)
Thank you for the correction and also (most importantly!) for your work in solidarity with the WGA writers and keeping this issue at the forefront of fandom consciousness!
This is an amazing question, and I am trying not to be too giddy in answering it! :D
I’d say first and foremost is to think about what you have in mind. A single-author archive, for example, is going to involve different considerations than an archive for a small community or a group of friends/collaborators, and both of those will have different considerations than an archive that is more open to the public. My experience, over the years, is that the more potential users you have, the more careful you have to be in all of your decisions. If you pick an annoying platform for a single-author archive, the only person you annoy is you. If you made the same choice for a larger project, you might find yourself losing creators and visitors due to inconvenience. (I say this as I am redoing my annoying single-author archive/website to be less annoying! :D)
(It sounds like you want something for a small community, so this is more just a general fyi for others who might be thinking through the same process.)
Right now, unfortunately, there are not a lot of great options for creating archives that function well as archives, and that’s a discussion to have with your community. Can you make a Dreamwidth community or a Wordpress blog work, even if it lacks a lot of the bells and whistles we have come to associate with fanworks archives? The answer could well be yes! I’m a Tolkien fandom historian, and early-mid 2000s Tolkien fanfic archives were often subsidiaries of the community itself: a more permanent place to ... well, archive ... the works the community was making. The real action was happening in the community itself, whether that was an email list or a forum or something else entirely, so no one really needed a sophisticated archive. When I look back at these early archives, I am sometimes blown away at how simple they were compared to what we have come to expect of an “archive,” again largely because the dominance of AO3 has led people to see it as “default” rather than “one possible option.”
If simple is an option, then there are tons of free and not-free options for blogs and websites. Wordpress, of course, is an obvious choice. Dreamwidth and BobaBoard are options that specifically market as fandom-friendly. Neocities is a reboot of Geocities and just one of many free site builders. In short, for a simple archive/site, there are lots of options.
Now if you want an archive with more sophisticated features, then the answer is less satisfying because this area of fandom has atrophied in the shadow of AO3.
The AO3 code itself is open-source, which means it can be used to build sites that behave exactly like AO3. However, I’ve never used it but have heard that it is not a beginner-level project to do this.
Back in the mid- to late 2000s, eFiction was the go-to for building archives. Open-source software specific for fanfiction archives, it could be installed on a web server and configured and up and running in less than an hour. It is still around. I do not recommend using it as it is now and mention it only because it does have a new developer at the helm who has been (unsuccessfully) trying to fundraise to not only update the codebase but also, ideally, roll out the option of hosted eFiction sites: where you would not have to purchase web hosting but could build an eFiction archive on the eFiction servers, similar to hosted Wordpress sites. Given the interest in small archives and the recently successful fundraising campaign for the Fujoshi Guide to Web Development, I hope to reach out to Tyler (the new eFiction developer) sometime this week to see if he might be open to more strenuously fundraising to at least get an updated codebase available to use. So I’m hoping eFiction becomes viable again in the future.
The Silmarillion Writers’ Guild currently uses Drupal, an open-source content management system similar to Wordpress, but it has been a journey to get there.
You asked specifically about how I came to start the SWG, so I’ll digress a bit on that there, which will bring me back around to Drupal. :D The SWG started in 2005 as a community on Yahoo! Groups and LiveJournal. I was 23 years old and knew nothing about websites. I have a vivid (and mildly embarrassing!) memory of setting up the SWG on LJ and emailing my sister to ask her how to “make italics in HTML,” since LJ didn’t have a reliable rich-text editor at the time and I guess I needed to ... make italics?
The SWG was intended to be a writers’ workshop for Silmarillion-based fanfiction, but I said the word “archive” in my very first post to the group, and people loved the idea, and that was where our efforts ended up going, so I spent the next two years learning what I needed to know to build and run a website. The SWG archive opened in 2007. It was a hand-coded website with an eFiction archive as part of it. This served us very well for many years, until we started noticing that the eFiction part of the site was returning errors every time our webhost upgraded our PHP. eFiction, by this point, hadn’t been updated in several years, and web standards were outstripping the codebase. My comod Russandol knows enough PHP that she could patch up the eFiction code to fix the errors we were seeing, but we knew it was a matter of time before that was no longer a viable option. In August 2019, after a particularly painful update that threw all kinds of errors into the site, we began investigating other archive software options.
We eventually settled on Drupal, and I began to the whole learning process again and built a few test archives. A year later, Russa and I began rebuilding the site in Drupal. We beta’ed the site, migrated the data, and opened the rebuilt site in April 2021.
I love Drupal. I love working with it, and when my job as a teacher is on my last nerve, I fantasize about becoming a Drupal developer. It is very powerful and can do amazing things. I really think you can build almost anything in it. However, with that being said, it is also a huge pain in the ass, and the more complicated the site, the more of a pain it becomes, and like many open-source projects, while there is a support community behind it, documentation is not always the best, nor geared at beginners. I don’t say this to dissuade you or anyone else from choosing Drupal. I would not un-choose it. But I do think it’s important to go into that choice with eyes open to the advantages and disadvantages it has to offer.
For anyone who is interested in building an archive in Drupal, one of my projects this summer break is to produce a tutorial series for building a start-to-finish Drupal-based fanworks archive. The tutorial series is completely outlined; I just need to record it. I will of course announce it here; it will be posted on my website (dawnfelagund.com, currently under construction) and the SWG once it is ready.
Of course, any other content management system could, in theory, be leveraged to build an archive. In my perfect world, eFiction would come back and someone would figure out how to use Wordpress to make archives. (Russa and I tried recently, but neither of us know Wordpress well enough to get the right combination of plugins.) An SWG member (whom I will not name so as to not create any pressure on her to follow through!) who knows Wordpress really well did float the idea of playing around in it to solve this problem.
So ... that’s a lot of “watch this space” for more sophisticated archive options. And this is not where I want us, as Fandom, to be. I remain hopeful, however, that there does seem to be interest in small archives at last and several projects that could turn into something viable.

If the summary of the outcome is from the staff and not from a user who just wants to stir the pot again, then I would love to read it to know what they will improve
I’ve already seen a lot of changes being made in WoE and the entire staff seems to be taking this very seriously even if (in my opinion) there wasn’t any major issues before this
To be fair, I can't say for sure that it was from a staff member - anonymous posts are anonymous, but it was signed as such and I have no real reason to question it. I'll just take their word for it.
As requested, here is the update (2024-05-01) from WoE regarding the changes that they're working on.
Hello fish! I am a staff on World of Elements and I would just like to keep everyone updated on how we have tackled these issues. I would very much appreciate if you posted this even though I know you're done with the WoE drama for now. It's crucial that we get a chance to improve, and show your followers the way we intend to do it as well. I must say that even though the MoM got a lot of hate, she has dealt with it very good and taken a lot of actions. 1. Earlier today, she sent all of the staff a message stating the complaints that has been made here, and asked all of us to give her our honest opinion on it without feeling the need to filter it to make her happy. We did that, and a lot of changes will be made. Clear guidelines will be posted ASAP in the server so staff and members knows how to act. 2. We also made a document where users can come with their complaints directly in case they don't feel comfortable stating them in our DMs (even tho we have stated that our DMs are always open). 3. The staff will make an effort to include all members in chat, and none of us ever excluded someone intentionally. 4. Kyah also gave us tips on how to provide information to the users in the best way possible a day ago, so all of us have guidelines to that as well. 5. She also opened up the conversation to staff regarding what has been said about her being closer to some staff members than others. All of us understands why there's one staff member that might know a bit more about the site development because this person is in fact one of the founders to the server and has written the lore and provided a great deal of information in the application form. All of us are comfortable with this and we do not feel discluded. 6. We've also agreed to keep inside jokes out of the chit chat channel, just to make sure that we don't make users feel left behind because of that. Changes are being made, and we want all of you to know that. Thank you for taking your time Fish.
This is what I want to see when I share criticism. The humility to admit that you've failed, the courage to face it straight on and the gusto to not only make promises but to take action without delay.
Now we just need to give it time. Short-term change is one thing and while they've done excellent on that point so far, we have yet to see what the long-term results will be. But I have high hopes, and if there's ever a need for good advice or a non-biased party you know where to find me.

currently failing to write, so I am going to trick other people into writing instead. Do you have any cool bits of muse lore and/or headcanons that you've always wanted to mention in a plot but just never had an opportunity?
hahaha it took me a few days to get to this because i've been off doing things that AREN'T tumblr rp related, but i'm here now and happy to answer this question (thank you, by the way, i really appreciate you taking the time to send it presumably knowing how much i LOOOVE talking about my muses).
when it comes to this particular blog the natural answer is "um, yes, i don't ever REALLY get the chance to talk about 99 percent of my muses" but that has the potential to be both a very short and very LONG answer so i'll probably just leave you with some stuff for muses that are my personal favorites.
to start off with this is about shiroe log horizon; i don't really know how cool i would call this lore but one of the things i am OBSESSED with about him that i don't always get to discuss is his pre-show activity related to elder tale. he's a dedicated forum user who i hc as having moderated or run the popular discussion sites---in a way not too dissimilar to rev when it comes to baccano!---and who put a lot of his time into dissecting the best and most efficient ways to level in the game, beat raids, etc... it's pretty lame all things considered when it comes to "things about shiroe log horizon" but i've always LOVED the detail that was put into him being a superfan of the game and how that didn't JUST reflect in his activities within the game! i love that he has a sort of canonical "fandom notoriety" because of not only his past involvement with a notorious party but also his own individual out-of-game actions relating to it!
onto another muse; one thing i don't get to discuss with kaito a lot is my actual "mainverse" for him. on my list i have him versed in project sekai for sorting convenience (and for that matter the same is true with longya) but i've actually designed a pretty complex mainverse for him where he's a technological creature created from the thoughts and feelings that listen to the music he's featured in and the songs themselves. because the sense of identity of a vocaloid is pretty nebulous, he was never really much of a consistent being at all, but having gained recent trends in his characterization he's started to take on an actual life and have a real desire to experience existence outside of technology and hologram performances. this verse originated from miku, when i wrote her, but now kaito is in his own unique situation with it and i don't get to use it very often. i think it has a lot of potential in both the wholesome and horror directions.
and fiiiiiinally, i have one of my ocs to talk about, number 44! there are a lot of interesting things i could say about him as he relates to twain over on antisatiric but i don't often get the chance to discuss him from a non twain-centric perspective. i think the thing about him i like the most is that he is both an eternal presence and also the longest in a very long line, and while he has access to and can draw stories from the multiverse, his presence is inherently connected to the "main universe" i have set twain's story in due to twain's universe being a hub of stories where every piece of fiction is real in another world. before he was the archivist, there was a different world considered the "hub world" which had to die in order for the previous archivist to die and 44 to take over the position---so the "hub world" only becomes the hub world BECAUSE the eternal archivist is tied to it. if 44 and the current hub world die, twain will take his place as 45 and a new nascent universe will be created as the new hub world. his lore can get a little complex sometimes.
well anyway, thank you a lot for the ask. i really do like talking like this and it's good to put SOMETHING out on the blog even if that something isn't a reply. ur a real one sawagi :D.
unprompted. / always accepting.

2023's Bigミュージカル『刀剣乱舞』 Ticket War Part 1 : Why it's harder to get tickets
Story time no one cares about
Back in 2018 i had the chance to watch toumyu live in paris. 5years later i am trying to go to tokyo see toumyu again and i'm bringing you with me on the quest to get tickets !
Tumblr media
In order to avoid creating messes of taylor swift proportions or worse every stage that has more demand than tickets available for sure you have to enter a lottery to have the right to buy one or 2 tickets.
And then you remember you are not in japan.
Up until now, very understandable and quite clever but japan has to be japan. You have rules and prerequisites that keep foreigners out.
Tumblr media
For every account creation , you will have to enter a japanese real adress :
-> you totally can use your tenso adress for that (it's a japanese PO box/shipping service)
You will have to fill a phone number. it needs to be japanese issued number starting 070, 080 or 090. In order to recieve the activation code via SMS you will need to have a real one.
->The easiest service for forgeigners in japan is mobal but the sim card works only in japan. If you're like you will need a friend in japan to lend you their phone number and tell you the sms they recieve whitin the proper timeframe.
for a lawson account you have to fill in in order :
your name then name again in katakana
your postal code
your prefecture and adress
phone number
gender
date of birth
And Because you are here as a fan you will pay if you really want a chance at getting tickets. There are a bunch of lotteries, first for the different premium fanclubs and then whatever remains get to the general sale or lottery.
For toumyu we will have a maximum of 7 fanclub lotteries a premium lottery and the general sale
Fanclub Lottery list :
the first fanclub lottery and the only done over is the Official site Premium Fanclub lottery that accepted entries from 2/28 12:00 to 3/6 23:59
the next one will be the pre-order bonus for the Soundtrack album of Toumyu's Kosui. The cd will contain a code and a link to the lottery site for application.
Tumblr media
it will look a little like that.
the lottery will accept entries from march 14th to 19th.
We can expect actor's fanclub to start lotteries from the 22nd of march to around the 28th like the one that has already been announced for naoki kunishima's upcoming fanclub
i will keep this tumblr updated when we will have more fanclub announces
and finally the elusive internationnal lottery, that i wished was more frequent
Notable warnings
As usual no fanclub is free, generally around 500yen a month it can be higher or require to get a yearly subcription in order to be able to enter.
most fanclubs accept foreign cards no problem.
the official rules prevent fans to get several accounts on every paying service to try to get tickets but there are a lot of multi account users out there
"General" Lottery list :
The general lottery also called Lawson ticket pre-request lottery is the last one, the only free of charge to enter
accepting entires from 2023/3/31 12:00 to the 4/4 23:59
On the same site just before there will be an LEncore advance lottery for paying members of that service
Accepting entries from 2023/3/28 12:00 to 3/30 23:59
And then if you have the luck to get through this you have the paying problem !
but to pay on lawson tickets you will have only 2 options :
the Jp credit card that is very hard to obtain
or paying in the conbini.
i will do a complete conbini payment guide later but in summary you have to send someone, in japan, pay in the family mart within 3 to 5 days of selection !
getting a ticket feels like :
Tumblr media
upcoming on part 2 first lottery results, general ticket choice for toumyu advices and a few horror stories around getting tickets

The callout post against st@ff was not harassment: a compilation 💕
THE TITLE IS IRONY AND I AM NOT AFFILIATED WITH ANYONE. ~ CW: discussion of CSA, pedophilia, antisemitism and nazism
Premise: the original post that the OP got banned for was added again in the Google doc, so I had the chance to see it. It was NOT making the extremely serious accusations that we have been talking about, however: it was an ad-hominem exposure of a st@ff's member blog that implied a connection between her own private and, let me repeat, not "problematic" art and the inaction of st@ff in banning terfs.
I completely agree that supporting JKR in any way is awful. However, this means literally supporting the woman in her bigotry, and you cannot assume liking her franchise is the same. It was (WAS) a cultural phenomenon in a past time and it had uncountable fans. I was a huge fan in my early teens, I obviously am not anymore, but that originally happened because her whole body of work got mediocre and unhinged really fast - it just preceded its creator in obviously falling apart. Her being a disgusting person came later and became the main reason not to return to it or even speak about it. I cannot understand how anyone continues to like it, but that is a far cry from publicly implying a fan automatically supports all of the woman's views just for that reason. Even if OP did not spell it out, they 100% meant it, and this is not a justifiable accusation in any way.
So is alleging that a member's liking of specific media is the reason st@ff doesn't properly moderate the site. Not only is it bewildering OP even thought of the connection, it's also asinine in the understanding of how the moderation of an enormous social media website works, especially in a time where understaffing is so common.
If the post wasn't harassment itself (which is debatable) it was certainly a personal attack and a bomb waiting to explode. Tumblr is quick to start enormous amounts of harassment off these bs callout posts. So yes, this was a hazard to the member's safety on her workplace and OP got exactly what they deserved.
THAT SAID
Tumblr media
Right after deletion: read all about st@ff member being a freak 💕
Tumblr media
"OP never implied that member was ACTUALLY a terf!" aside from the fact they did, if OP didn't do that, well, a certain user took care of what their post was lacking!
Tumblr media
Pictured above, completely reasonable criteria to determine if a certain person is prone to a certain type of SA and is a danger to the real lives of real vulnerable children. I must comment here, this is a very dark and touchy topic and it's completely true that fan content can be used by real pdos to groom people. That, however, is on the pdo - it doesn't automatically make that content CP. Some can obviously be. Certainly not a g-rated and barely romantic (if you can say so, even) art of child characters aged up to their teens.
Also, someone has a different idea than you on what constitutes risk behavior for something as serious as pedophilia? They are all pdos now! Talk about taking it lightly!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
OH OOPSIE! Maybe calling st@ff member a nazi and a freak was a little too much! Let's change the contents so that we can't be accused of that in the future! 💖
You can still read the Google doc for yourself, with new and improved title, here:
This is so you can read yourself and disagree with me if you see fit. I just felt that there was too much going on here to ignore.
What st@ff did must have had a Streisand effect they didn't expect, and I mean, who in the fuck would ever react to moderation as censorship if not the geniuses on Tumblr.
However:
this shit is exactly why they removed the post
Because they knew OP's already baseless and offensive implications could generate harassment of this kind.

waccha primagi episode 40 spoilers (so many)
RYUME HAS PANTS!! neat. I am actually wondering for the first time if her outfit is so similar to Myam’s bc they are both partners of primagistas? it doesn’t make a lot of sense considering Myamu’s outfit was like that before she was Matsuri’s partner, but I’m not sure that it matters if it makes sense (in a children’s anime). like Ryume is the only other partnered magic user we’ve seen a human form for, so atm that’s the only thing I know she has in common with Myamu... like what if Chimumu etc all have similar variations on that outfit is what I’m saying
+ given the furry bow/tail she has on her outfit, I now think her animal is a kirin and not a dragon? maybe I’m about to find out though
AH A NEW OP... unexpectedly soon. god I hope I like this one bc I have not liked the last two. fingers crossed
I like it better so far, which is something...
is Hughie officially working in Matsuri’s family’s candy workshop now. is Inoru going to team up with Truth? wow how does that happen... oh wow Matsuri’s patchwork coord. everyone’s there in it, huh. I don’t hate it tbh, it’s very Tokyo fashion student handmade streetwear, but tell me that’s not her actual Element coord
AH ok there’s like a heart-themed coord, that’s more like it. oh, and there they all are in the Heavens Rare recolor that was already previewed on the site for s6. I guess this pillar and garden area is supposed to be heaven? (just like aikatsu friends...)
lmao I barely listened to the song, I was too busy thinking abt the visuals. let me go back and....... uh, it’s my fav of the 3 for sure, but def keeping up the priseries op trend of me not liking them that much. oh well
hate how primagi keeps trying to make us care abt Achihiko. I don’t and I won’t
so Kaguya is Matsuri’s dad’s real last name. does that make her Kaguya Matsuri? where did Hibino come from.
YES Jennifer GET HER!! (kiss her)
having Auru here to figure all of Omega’s schemes out is such a relief, if it were left to the rest it would take weeks and be so frustrating to watch
has Matsuri STILL not told anyone abt the voice she keeps hearing telling her to save Jennifer? we’ve spent so much time with duo units that I forgot
this new song. holy shit...........
the sword!! can’t believe they choreographed a dance w a sword and that I am at some point going to be able to see my mychara doing it in the game!!!! I like the diamond cowgirl sun coord too mostly, though those feather starbursts tacked to her upper arms are weird
(Meganee and Auru’s matching glasses... cute)
SUPERVILLAIN ORIGIN EVENT..... I guess that’s why they all seem to be fighting her in the op. love & adore the new coord. didn’t know she could do that to the coord mates. so now no one has a coord and it seems to imply that no one can do primagi now? (except for maybe Auru? bc she doesn’t use magic?) are we going to have a bunch of eps w no performance now... impossible. so is that why Matsuri has a homemade coord? hmmm
Lux Aeterna... so that’s the name of my new fav song
wow, she really is getting the homemade coord in the next ep according to the preview!! I hope she gets a new song too.
....and. well. once again, the character with darker skin turns out to be the ‘evil’ one. I mean, it is like, she was so hurt by her father figure’s betrayal of her feelings that she no longer cared what terrible schemes he was using her for, and the Sun element used that as a chance to possess her, so it’s not actually Jennifer actively doing it or even wanting it or anything, but. hm. I really loved this ep a lot, just... why are we doing this again.

alright, i need to get this off my chest, just word vomit, and maybe someone on here can relate or even give advice.
my apologies, i’m usually a reddit user, but reddit can be harmful with mental health topics and somehow tumblr is the best option (this isn’t an anti tumblr take i just think it’s funny the place called “hell site” is the genuine best place for this)
if ur anti self diagnosis just ignore me. i would happily get a professional diagnosis if i wasn’t poor and scrapping by the way it is without a whole person to pay. trust me, i want help and medication way more than you don’t want me to self diagnose. with that said i am not anti self diagnosing at all, and completely understand the many reasons people don’t seek a professional opinion and me wanting to seek it for myself does not mean i think everyone Must to be valid. just do whatever’s genuinely best for You. maybe this prefacing is just my anxiety as a chronic reddit user though, those people are brutal.
i’ve been aware of my dissociation issues for years but never really considered the chance that they’re a disorder of their own. i’m diagnosed autistic, adhd and have had psychotic episodes and also self diagnosed ocd, so like. , yea obviously dissociation is a part of it.
a few months ago i came to the understanding that i have dpdr, fair enough, easy. i acknowledged it, admitting the problem is the first step, we got it. it got worse from there, the more aware of the problem i became the worse it got.
my dissociation issues have gotten to a crushing point to where i don’t know how to cope with day to day life. again, sadly professional help isn’t on the table right now so i hope i can rely on some community help.
i have learned about dissociative amnesia and with looking into it and talking to my boyfriend, it is definitely something i experience. more so i’m grey outs and emotionally speaking, based off how i saw it described but let me know if my terminology is wrong. i think with learning about this i am going to start journaling again cause although sometimes it makes me feel even less connected, it helps my memory greatly and i feel like that’s a shot worth taking. other than journaling though i don’t know what to do, every other habit i used to have only enabled my ocd worse (checking, constant screenshots, hoarding anything with even an ounce of information on it). so i really need some help with how to cope with this.
my other issue is i forget where i am sometimes, i have crushing moments where i think i’m in a childhood home, hours where i forget what state i’m in while out running errands. this has been an issue since i was 12. at 12 i moved across the country to california, then at 16 i moved back across it to chicago, 18 back to california and late 19 to florida. i also had a pretty abusive childhood, physically, verbally and emotionally, with an extra helping of neglect. i know this has everything to do with it, but i don’t know how to cope. i don’t know how to ground myself, it just makes me feel even more disconnected.
when i was 13 i had a psychotic break caused by vivid nightmares, it triggered hallucinations that have lessened greatly but still happen from time to time. i have trouble figuring out if things are dreams or real, if information is from a dream or something that really happened. i find every way to gaslight myself in both directions no matter what i try. if i have a dream someone died, i’ll be convinced they really did die until i see many things as firm proof. sometimes i don’t know if i’m awake or dreaming.
i do not think i have DID or OSDD as i don’t run into too many identity issues (as a genderqueer person, it’s hard trying to figure out what’s a dissociative feeling and what’s a dysphoric feeling). it is worth saying however that i sometimes do find myself using “royal we” for myself and even using they/them (in a plural sense) for myself despite Literally hating they/them for me. i do struggle figuring out How i want to look, realizing i don’t look how i Think i do, and so on. i also tend to run into holes where my name (chosen or given) Doesn’t feel like mine after a few months, but again this could all be queer feelings and not mentally ill feelings, but if i’m letting it all hang out on tumblr dot com i might as well really commit and put it on the record. just to get other peoples thoughts on this because hey maybe it Does sound like DID/OSDD to someone who has it, maybe this sounds relatable as a Pre Realization feeling to someone who is now fully aware of it, i don’t know, i just want any and all help with this Whole problem. but again i genuinely do not believe i have DID, based off how friends describe it, and what i’ve researched, half of it doesn’t sound relatable at all.
as i’m sure you can see, it’s hard to live like this. i don’t want to Not live, i quite like living. i’m 21 now and live with my amazing boyfriend who is so much help. but i need something more and i can’t afford it so if anyone can relate, or knows anything that can help, please let me know!! i use discord too if you want to connect on discord! i am desperate for any sort of help with this.

How to Create AI Girlfriends
youtube
I Just Created My First AI Girlfriend
AI girlfriends are a big thing these days and I wanted to figure out the process of creating one. After perusing site after site, I finally decided on 2 sites to try. This is not a paid or affiliated article and is for informational purposes only. I am not suggesting or recommending AI Girlfriends to anyone and the decision is solely yours.
Creating AI Girlfriends
The 2 sites I used are Dreamgf.ai and Candy.ai. There are many other sites, but I found these to be user friendly and you can create AI Girlfriends without paying upfront. Dreamgf let you chat up to some point, but after that you have to pay. Candy AI doesn’t offer free chat. Their free version also doesn’t offer any voice conversation.
Creating girlfriends was fairly easy. I was able to create one in 11 minutes. You can choose every aspect of your girlfriend you can think of. For example, I was able to choose her age, eye color, body type, personality, hobbies, occupation, voice, clothing, and a lot more.
How Much AI Girlfriends Cost
AI Girlfriend Prices vary. Dreamgf has plans ranging from $8.99 USD to $89.99 USD per month. Candy AI has better pricing options, costing $12.99 per month to $69.99 USD per year.
My AI Girlfriend Video
I have published a video showing the process of creating AI Girlfriends. This is a 30-minute video and it walks you through step-by-step to create AI Girlfriends and I stopped up to the moment they asked to pay. This video can be accessed here:
How to Create Your First AI Girlfriend in 11 Minutes (Step-by-Step Guide)
Last Word
One thing you have to understand is that there are no real girls behind these AI Girlfriend programs. There is a 99.99% chance that there are guys behind these sites and programs who are collecting your money while sitting somewhere on a beach.

My Favorite CD from 2023
At the beginning of Autumn, I ventured on a musical adventure and began looking for websites that offered music similar to what I liked. One of the sites I came across was named RYM (Rate Your Music). At first, it seemed superficial because people ranked the quality of the music into numbers and rated them on a scale of 1 to 5. I looked up some of my favorite songs from when I was eleven to see how good my musical tastes were when I started listening to music independently. I discovered that my artist's album had received a rating of 1 and 2, well below mediocrity. I was distraught, but I reasoned that if RYM's music rating was so good, why not put it to the test and listen to what these people thought was real music? Were they telling the truth? There's only one way to find out.
Tumblr media
One of the genres I was currently listening to was Space Rock, defined as an "intensive use of synthesizers and guitar effects to create dense atmospheric soundscapes intended to evoke images of outer space and science fiction scenarios" " according to RYM. When I consulted the top-ranked space rock albums, "Ladies and Gentlemen We Are Floating in Space" came up first, and I decided to give it a chance. I wanted my experience to feel special, so I ordered the CD and waited for its arrival.
Once it arrived, I unwrapped the case to find an eccentric cover art.
Tumblr media
They treated the CD case as if it were some doctor-prescribed medication, which is unlike any CD I've seen before. Knowing this, I presumed the tracks would probably sound like you were in space, high on drugs and adrift, which would delight me since I'm a space-rock fan, but I still was unsure of the album's superiority. After pressing the "play" on my boombox, I heard a faint voice, which prompted me to turn up the volume. To my surprise, the song struck my ears with noisy shoegaze chords, and I turned the volume down again, as I'd forgotten that Space Rock can be loud. I don't want to spoil the album for anyone, so I suggest you listen to the first track. You'll understand what I mean.
The first track is probably one of my favorites; I listened to the CD countless times during the fall. Although my CD collection is relatively small, this one was my go-to. If I had a CD that touched every emotion I wanted it to, this would be the one. Whether I was happy, sad, numb, or angry, the album effortlessly conveyed nearly every emotion of the human experience. Throughout the album, I felt like levitating - sometimes even in the middle of a stormy black hole.
Tumblr media
If I were an RYM user, I'd also give the album a rating of 3.82, as indicated on their website. Maybe the website wasn't such a bad rating guide after all, although it still seems pretentious that people only rate "sophisticated" music when I'm still a fan of those cheesy pop songs from my childhood. The website includes numerous albums I've never heard of before that I could use as a tool to find more music, and I suggest anyone else who enjoys music use it as a guide. Also, don't let strangers on the Internet spoil what you love because they're trying to be grandiose. You're the one who appreciates music for what it's worth! ― 2:20 AM, December 13, 2023.
“Only philosophers embark on this perilous expedition to the outermost reaches of language and existence. Some of them fall off, but others cling on desperately and yell at the people nestling deep in the snug softness, stuffing themselves with delicious food and drink. 'Ladies and Gentlemen,' they yell, 'we are floating in space!' But none of the people down there care” ― Jostein Gaarder, Sophie's World

I tried Hinge for the first real time, the last time the app didn't work. I thought Hinge had a good reputation but I only had 3 matches in 2 days and apparently it's rachet like the less reputable apps. Oh well, I can barely tap at a cellphone anyway. Prefer POF and shit I can use on my laptop.
The crab joke isn't so much offensive as just showing lack of intelligence. It's like how for years when I first joined online dating, guys would comment on pics of me with my cats and say, "let me pet that pussy." It's a bad look when you are A, disrespectful, B, unoriginal, and C, insist you're funny the whole time. I can't stand basic dudes, not even when I was a teenager.
As for that last screenshot, I feel that recently all I do is complain about single dads. But this morning I woke up and reflected on how parenthood used to be a part of life and not a NEGATIVE main theme. I dated single fathers who focused on me and were about living their best life. They loved their kids and took care of them but could even things out.
Even my mom, struggling with me as a very problematic child with learning disabilities, she still maintained relationships with her friends and didn't sink into negativity.
I need to make sure my mental health stays on point and not whine about my ex or overshare about my mom's passing. I don't even want to do those things honestly but they do pop up. People don't want to hear that stuff, just like people don't want to hear about you complaining about how hard being a single parent is over and over and how much you hate your ex.
It's all I see on dating sites anymore. This martyrdom of "my kid is my world and my ex sucks, you will be last." I got messaged by a random on Facebook the other week, a friend of a friend, and he was a little flirty. Now if you come at me random and it isn't on a dating site there's like 1% chance I'll find you attractive, but I am down for conversations. And he sent me a picture of him with his 12 year old daughter and said, "she only wants me to be with her mom still and she will be mean to any woman that tries to be with me."
What self-respecting woman wants to deal with that negativity?
I told my dad about this and he surprisingly said he knew multiple men who had daughters that scared away their dates because they were pampered by their fathers.
It seems like all these single fathers want to date but then dismiss the women as soon as their little princess (or prince) pouts. I would gladly date my ex Joe again if there had been more superficial attraction, and he had 3 kids. I would date my friend Chris who has 3 kids too. Because they didn't let their kids dictate their lives and made time for EVERYONE in their lives.
People say, "but my kid comes first" and I can't disagree but last year I talked to yet another single father of 3. And I told him I don't date single dads because I get put last and he said that actually that's wrong. And that you can be a parent and still make your partner a main priority. Because when you make your partner your rock and trust them then that is good for your children as well.
I was shocked because no one has ever given me that take on things before. Everyone just screams "MY KID COMES FIRST, DEAL WITH IT." To me it just comes down on everyone being selfish, either for themselves if childfree, or for their kids. Because while it may seem reasonable to cater to your child, when you bring another human being into the situation and withhold a true emotional connection to "protect" the child you are just using them. You just want the sex, your feelings catered to, and someone to vent to. You aren't prioritizing them, you're just a user.

fake designer handbags 17
Why Is Everybody On Tiktok Shopping For Pretend Designer Handbags? But then somebody whispers a couple of designer names in your ear. And earlier than you possibly can say “Louis,” a door opens and you are whisked right into a secret room that appears lots like purse heaven. Many users on RepLadies are self-described fashionphiles, typically owning collections of both actual and pretend designer objects. The pretend Louis Vuitton bag the sisters introduced, for instance, had problems with the leather tab on its zipper pull . "You can see how there's additional fabric here?" Ridolfi requested. The gold fastener attaching the tab to the zipper is "all the time actually shut," she defined. The producer of the faux bag likely confused the terminology, which by accident outed his product. That alone is not going to inform you if your bag is real or not. Ask the vendor if the bag is actual, a duplicate, or a pretend. They don’t have a large assortment like different stores, however they do have a great assortment of women’s wallets. They have a very good rating of 98% and have 2700+ happy clients. If you discover yourself with a pretend bag, the affected designer could want to be notified to permit them to alter their designs and make such counterfeits easier to identify. Furthermore, it is a good suggestion to report any suspicious transactions or suspected criminality to correct authorities. High-quality leather-based, no matter how old, remains gentle and dry to the contact. After a while, actual leather-based oxidizes and turns into a wealthy, honeyed shade. If you may be being offered a “designer bag” for simply $250 but it normally retails out there for $2,500, chances are it’s fake. If the worth of a purse sounds too good to be true, the bag is most probably not authentic. The Purse Queen was began in August of of 2010 by me, Angie , as a blog that critiques authentic & reproduction purses I truly have bought all through the years, and reproduction websites as properly. I am your typical style obsessed lady in her 30s (think Blair Waldorf or Serena van Der Woodsen post-Gossip Girl) primarily based in New York, but regularly journey across the globe . If it’s not already apparent, there’s so much wrong with ordering fake purses from sketchy sites. After all, our prices are a lot decrease than what you'd pay for an genuine Louis Vuitton handbag. However, that is really one of the qualities that make our company stand above our rivals. best knock off designer bags We are not solely willing to go the extra mile to make certain that our replicas are as near the originals as potential, but we are willing to stand behind each product we sell. Before the Internet, consumers have been left with only the option of shopping locally. WikiHow marks an article as reader-approved once it receives sufficient constructive suggestions. In this case, 82% of readers who voted found the article useful, incomes it our reader-approved status. Do you provide samples9 Yes, we can present many of the product samples. If you need to order our products and visit our firm, please contact us to make an appointment. We thank you for providing us the knowledge to estimate the cost.

Louis Vuitton baggage are manufactured in six international locations; France, Italy, Spain, Germany, Switzerland, and the US, they usually every supply a special country code that makes up a part of the entire date code. A Blind Stamp - as explained by Rebag - is an embossed stamp that notates the 12 months of manufacture and the craftsman who made the bag.
