Laying down when my cat comes up beside my head and starts loudly and sloppily licking her paw right by my ear

#these tags aren't related to this post #but its late and i have work tomorrow and i just wanna talk about stuff #on tuesday my parents and i took a trip into the valley #to see my big brother #and man #i romanticized the hell out of all the farmland we saw along the way #i keep fantasizing about having a better life #with no means to make it happen #things are kind of better #cuz we're caught up on bills for the most part #but a lot of stuff is still stressful for me #also writing has slowed again #for the next week or so #cuz my stupid expensive laptop's a piece of shit i need to fix so it works better #I'm just waiting on the stuff i ordered to do that #and im in pain for the next couple days #that's my life

one of the funniest/saddest things about having a jewish post breach containment is you'll read tags that are super loudly excited about how much they just looooove judaism and the jews (tm) and you'll be like "oh?" and click on their blog to see what else they've been saying and reblogging and be like oh

#with these people it's just. I do not think you like jews. I think you like pretty pictures.#throwing this one in #jumblr #because I'm sure many can relate #also shoutout to the person who tagged my sephardi&romaniote fashion post as 'fantasy fashion'#not 'inspiration for fantasy fashion or my art' or w/e but just straight up 'fantasy fashion'#you understand that jews aren't fictional fantasy creatures right. bc sometimes I feel like people really truly don't #it may be stupid that it bugged me so much because I know it's a little thing but in this climate it's. well. you know.

Eh, fuck it, self-indulgent post, shoutout to the aro's out there who haven't gotten confessed to at any point in their lives. I see you. We are so fucking awesome

#Sorry I go in the aro tags and I do have to click out after like the third post about the pain of rejecting someone #Because yeah not a universal experience and I know the OP's aren't saying it is but seeing so many posts about it...can be kind of a bummer #Like. Oh no yet another queer experience that I've missed out on for some reason. Yeah <3 #I've only been confessed to as jokes! I do NOT miss high school!!#I am very strongly aro but I also don't relate to like half of the stuff in the aro tags. I think it's cool how we can all be so different!#aromantic #android.txt

Sometimes your mind wanders while drawing characters hugging and you wonder: "What if Glorfindel ended up back in Valinor again, talked his way into going back to Middle Earth a second time, and then he decided to smuggle Ecthelion back with him?"

This was followed up with: "It would be funny if they were really bad at it."

Close-ups of the doodles and what I like to call them:

"The Hug that Started it All"

2. "A Brainstorming Session"

3. "Cloak Attempt #1 - In Which Glorfindel Realizes He Needs More Cloak"

4. "Cloak Attempt #2 - Sure, Ecthelion Can Crouch-Walk Out of Valinor"

#lotr #Lord of the Rings #Silmarillion #The Silmarillion #silm #(sort of - I never know what to tag posts that aren't directly related to anything canon)#Tolkien #Glorfindel #Ecthelion #Glorfindel of the Golden Flower #Ecthelion of the Fountain #glorthelion #Did Glorfindel die again to end up back in Valinor? (I didn't consider this when I first started)#Unfortunately for him I think he might have in order for this to make sense - I doubt he'd immediately be going back if he sailed?#But anyways I just thought it would be funny to fill the rest of this doodle pages with increasingly ridiculous antics #Because Glorfindel deserves to bring someone with him if he's going to keep fighting evil regardless of what the Valar have to say #I think I'm funny at least I'm having a good time with this #Radj Doodles #Radj Draws

Well, it looks like I've been shadowbanned by the Stranger Things subreddit for talking about the strikes.

This might not seem like that big of a deal, but considering the ST subreddit might very well be moderated by Netflix themselves in some capacity, has me pretty pissed off rn.

For some context, Netflix creating the ST sub has already been speculated since the sub's inception. The first season of the show didn't even start filming until November of 2015, however the subreddit for the show was created a month before that, in mid October of 2015.

It's not uncommon for Netflix to create social media accounts across the board for all of their content in order to promote it online, and so it makes sense that in the process of getting filming ready, marketing was going about creating social media accounts on every platform (their other official accounts on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram were also created months in advance of filming as well).

Also worth noting that there is a separate sub called Hawkins AV Club, which fans created themselves to talk about the show and other things related to it that they weren't able to on the main sub, most commonly leaks, which are prohibited on the main one (Netflix don't like leaks...).

Recently though, I noticed all the strike related posts were getting removed, with it being flagged as breaking rule three.

Rule three is pretty simple, in that all it really states is that users cannot post stuff unrelated to the show.

As far as I know, the main ST sub has never made an official post about how the strikes qualify as being unrelated to the show, so it's not like this is some widely understood specific point that has been elaborated on that fans have to follow. To me, it looks like this rule operates as a loophole for a moderator to remove strike posts and list it as 'breaking rule three', without having to acknowledge how fucked up that is.

And so I wanted to test this theory and decided to post the picture of Finn picketing at Paramount Studios in support of SAG-AFTRA the other day.

Right after posting, I added the comment, 'Also ST sub if you delete this, you're confirming you have a Netflix bias'.

For the first hour, the post remained public and so luckily I was able to get some comments on it from other users in the sub. A majority of the comments just acknowledged the picture of Finn and voiced their support, though there was at least one condescending comment speaking negatively against the writers and actors striking. But most importantly, I got a few comments from fans asking why I was insinuating that the post would get deleted aka my time to shine.

I replied by saying that I noticed all the strike related posts were being removed for 'breaking rule three' and how it was bogus because plenty of other unserious posts, that are even less related to the show, stay up all the time. And so, considering the speculation over the years that Netflix played a part in creating the sub and therefore likely still has a stake in moderating it in some capacity, means they are essentially blocking fans from discussing the strike.

I then went into how ST has one of the biggest fandoms for a TV series and how the sub reflects that with over 1 million users. There are plenty of other fandoms out there that are much more niche and small in comparison to ST's base, that have been able to come together and make a big difference by donating and spreading the word as a community, and how it's kind of embarrassing considering our size, that we have not been able to come together to show support for our writers and actors in a tangible way.

And that's when I speculated how I didn't think it was a coincidence that one of the biggest fandoms in the world isn't able to even merely talk about the strikes, in the one place that affords them the ability to come together in the masses, to potentially have the ability to play role in putting pressure on the studios in order to reach a fair deal sooner than later.

These strikes literally depend on the writers and actors not talking about their content in order to put pressure on the studios, and this sub basically operates in the exact opposite way. It allows free for all discussions about the show, but doesn't allow any discussions of the strikes.

Who benefits from that? Netflix. The studios.

The reality is the strikes have EVERYTHING to do with the show. Making posts about an actor protesting so that the writers and actors of said show can continue production in a way that is more just and humane, is about the show. Technically, in a reality where things are never resolved as a result of this strike and the studios being greedy, the show could literally cease to continue. So again, this strike has EVERYTHING to do with the show.

I then ended my comment by saying that despite my suspicions, I hoped that I was wrong and that my post would stay up.

Returning to the sub the following day, I found that my post was not only removed, but also all of my comments were. Everyone else's comments remained including the anti-strike one, and there was also the addition of a pinned moderator comment explaining why the post was removed ie Rule 3.

Now, I have had some of my posts removed on Reddit in the past. Byler posts for example tend to get removed pretty swiftly because the comments get nasty and so that's the moderators usual excuse for removing those, however they don't say it outright with a moderator comment, you usually have to message them directly to get the gist of why it was removed. I've also posted memes before with them being removed and being flagged as breaking rule three, however I have never seen an actual moderator pin the details of the rule. They usually just tag Rule 3 at the top, with it being implied that you have to go look into their FAQ to read up on the rules yourself.

The way they removed my post just came off soooooooooo corporate to me, where the moderator(s) didn't even acknowledge what I said, but basically just proved my point by taking advantage of their rule loophole, by listing off the irrelevant argument against it based on said rule, with no further elaboration on what I actually speculated.

Initially, I wanted to make a post about what happened on here, but I sort of just shined it on because I already assumed they were going to remove it, and so all they did was confirm my suspicions.

But then today I was on the sub and tried to comment on a recent post, only to see that when I tried to reread it after posting, my comment wasn't showing up.

To test if it was a me problem, I went to another subreddit I'm in, Shrek (naturally), and commented on a post. Low and behold it showed up and stayed there...

I then went back to the ST sub to comment on a different recent post and again it did not show up right after I posted it.

So apparently I am a threat to the ST sub to the point where they do not want me commenting on posts anymore, specifically after I posted about the strike and the subs intense measures to prevent it from being discussed at all. Like... ya'll just literally proved my point tenfold.

Now, I do think there very well could be several moderators that are not associated with Netflix at all that are in charge of moderating the main sub. That's actually very likely. However, whether Netflix was involved from the beginning or not, it's also very likely they are now, as the sub is MASSIVE and they probably don't want an account on that scale to be controlled entirely by fans. That would mean 1 million people having access to leaks or anything and everything. Not being able to moderate that would be a pain in the ass (and we're seeing how now in the case of a strike, they also benefit from preventing certain posts from being seen).

So I think that either Netflix created the account themselves from the beginning and have recruited a handful of regular hardcore fans over the years to help moderate it, or they hopped on after a bunch of complications with leaks getting posted to hundreds of thousands of fans during s2-3, taking control at some point from the original moderator, only to join the mix of other moderators that already existed and are basically none the wiser.

In the case of either of those, they can play off that they are an unofficial ST reddit, all because they have a few fan moderators, when it's clear that is not the case.

Anyways, the ST sub has a Netflix (studio) bias and everything that's posted on there is likely moderated by someone that works for Netflix. So, keep that in mind.

#byler #stranger things #reddit rambles #wga strike #sag-aftra #st cast #st tumblr: is this st related or am I cross tagging?#no but fr #I understand that the sub is intended to make posts about the show #i get that that rule can be useful so that there aren't a bunch of posts that literally have nothing to do with the show clogging the sub #however it also allows them the affordance of arguing that a strike entirely tied to the shows ability to even continue is somehow unrelate #you're telling me that an actor is protesting for THIS show...#THIS SHOW that cannot continue until a fair deal is made #has nothing to do with this show...?#like? make it make sense?

Lately I've only been wishing to grab a comic about my favorite character and just have a genuinely good time reading it.

#I can't remember the last time I took a Deadpool comic and genuinely had a good time about it #I hate the direction they took with his character and it's so disrespectful that I don't even talk about I don't even think *any* Deadpool #fan genuinely talk about it because were so tired of his kids characterization we all just collectively decided to ignore whatever hell #marvel through at him #but rant aside #it's just–#I am not sure if comic books are fun anymore I don't even know who I am making content for half of the people on my notes haven't touched #comic book and aren't pretending to do so #people who read the comics tend to be so mean or bitter about it that even if you follow most will be angry about something #comic or fan related and I don't know if I can blame them but following that is draining #and as much as I was trying to be a good sport about it you make a post about comic book characters and #and the overwhelming response is 'I don't read the comics but'– following up by a take about them that doesn't even recognize any core #aspect of their personality that you can't even grasp you can't even recognize them #you can't recognize them on tue cannon you can't recognize them on the fannon #and no matter how engaging you try to make content about the fandom people just–*refuse* to read it. And then– they *refuse* to tag fannon #content as fannon #and *refuse* to leave either #Yes we are all having fun but how can a character tag be so so filled with people who have no idea of who they are #how can a character can be properly loved and take care of and have content that respect them if no one makes any attempt to *know them*#and it's disheartening because *comics* are supposed to be fun *fannon are supposed to be fun*#but for aome reason it's really *really* hard to have fun here anymore #I created this page to share my love for the characters I care about and see more content of people who care about them too #but I can't even *find* people who care about them any more and when I do they're all so angry and upset– And I *cant even blame them*#I just... I don't know why I am doing this anymore or for who I am doing this anymore #sorry to vent but it's been a while since I haven't been had a genuinely good time™ enjoying comics #I don't think even people who write those comics enjoy those comics or care about those characters #Sometimes feels like everyone is projecting on those characters rather than *writing about them*. And I can't find them anymore #fanfics used to be about love petters to characters who you love #nowadays seems like a competition to see who makes more funny words with tropes pre-written since 2007 #vent

I had a big long post about the trending situation but when I tried to save the draft to go check on something else Tumblr ate it. Anyway here's trending:

Here's the daily post information for the top two tags:

Here's the daily post information for the bottom two tags:

And here's the daily post information for #Free Palestine:

I know people are upset that anyone is posting any fandom related stuff at all, but Tumblr absolutely has some explaining to do when the only tag on trending that has more posts than #Free Palestine is #WWE and two of the tags on trending are basically the same tag and should've been shown as trending together instead of taking up two spots.

Being this blatant with suppressing tags during a genocide is appalling, and doing it during a massive strike (One that places an emphasis on posting Palestine related content) is rubbing salt in the wound.

#free palestine #palestine #tumblr trending is broken #not tagging the trending tags because in the only one that's actually posting more than Palestine related tags it would get lost and the #people posting in other tags can't fix the situation by posting less since they already *aren't* posting more than the Palestine tags #so it feels counterproductive to shame people who can't actually change the situation if you get where I'm coming from #Also it's now occurring to me that it's Holocaust Remembrance day #while I understand people not wanting to post about remembering a genocide that's being used to excuse an active genocide #it's still really suspicious that while I saw the tag on trending today I never saw it at the number one spot #*and* that when I checked out the tag to see if people were being islamophobic or antisemitic Tumblr shoved me right to the search feature #instead of showing me how many posts the tag had #Like I'm not even sure what to make of that (Was the tag boosted? Was it being suppressed like the Palestine tags? Was that just a poorly #timed glitch?) it just feels really suspicious

The first two options are different! The first is a catch-all tag for all RRverse books; the second is for the PJO series specifically.

I didn't include the show/musical/movie tags because I am specifically interested in what book fans are doing.

This is a survey, not a popularity contest, so please answer honestly. Don't just pick whatever's your favourite series.

Elaboration in the tags or replies are highly encouraged!

#percy jackson #percy jackson and the olympians #heroes of olympus #trials of apollo #pjo #toa #mcga #tkc #kane chronicles #percabeth #solangelo #sorry percabeth and solangelo fans that this isn't directly related to your ships #I'm just especially interested in your opinions because you stan characters that appear in multiple series #asking because I never know what to tag post canon/AU stuff since those aren't always directly related to a specific series #so I'm curious what readers are doing #any and all opinions welcome I want to know!!#polls

I don't see a whole lot of fanmission discussion on here, which is a bummer considering they're such a huge part of the classic Thief community and why it's endured so long. With some of the Black Parade hype recently, I think now is the perfect time for this- here's my personal list of TDP/TMA fanmission recs! Not in any particular order (aside from the first 3-5 or so for each game, which are my personal all-time favorites) these are just taken from my highest rated fanmissions in FMSel. Each one links to a Thief Guild page where you can find the mission briefing, screenshots, and downloads.

Thief Gold: Ascend the Dim Valley Endless Rain Rose Garden The Scarlet Cascabel The Black Parade Catacombs of Knoss Alcazar Chalice of Souls Making a Profit The Sound of a Burrick in a Room Whispers Below the Cobblestone Between These Dark Walls Dirty Money Falling, In Love Autumn in Lampfire Hills

Thief 2: Compulsory Egress Into the Odd Bad Debts, and its sequel Disorientation (part of the Talbot series by Melan, along with TG FM Rose Garden) The Violent End of Duncan Malveine Feast of Pilgrims Ominous Bequest, and its sequel Broken Triad Rose Cottage Behind Closed Doors The Turning of the Leaves King Abedzen's Tomb Legacy of Knoss (sequel to TG FM Catacombs of Knoss) The Ties That Bind (the first FM I recall ever playing and, imo, a cute introduction to FMs as a whole) Old Habits and Dead Wives Vanishing Point All For a Night's Sleep The Last Lighthouse Keeper Cracks in the Glass Bloodmist Tower Finals at the Academy Heist at Hilbert's Highrise Hotel The Sun Within and the Sun Without Malazar's Inscrutable Tower Ravensreach Coaxing the Spirit Keyhunt

Here's a TTLG thread on how to set up both games for playing FMs. I personally don't use any fancy loaders, FMSel will be what you get by default, it works perfect and is all you need. TTLG overall is just a great place to be, it's good for FM hints/walkthroughs/recs and general Thief/Looking Glass discussion.

Ideally you have T2Fix already installed, but for setting your game up for FMs, you should do a quick reinstall and make sure that two options are ticked: common script modules, and T2FMDML. T2FMDML is a collection of fixes for Thief 2 FMs that wouldn't otherwise play nice with NewDark, and the scripts as I understand are for FMs that need them but either come packaged with older versions or without the scripts at all- there's a lot of older FMs out there that will be broken for you if you don't have both installed. You can just rerun the T2Fix installer for this, you don't need to reinstall the game or anything.

Thief Guild is where all the links lead, and it's a great site for finding FMs. You can filter by genre (city, thieves' highway, cathedral, etc.) or look through the usermade collections- for a start, I'd recommend looking at the collections specifically to find classic/early FMs, a category that I know I'm not hitting on much in my list here but is definitely worth checking out if you're at all interested.

Bonus Dark Mod rec: The Dark Mod is a fanmade, free, Thief-inspired stealth game. I haven't played nearly as many missions for it as I have for Thief, but it's still absolutely worth checking out to see if it clicks for you. If you only play one TDM mission, though, my personal rec is Iris.

If you have any, add on with your own FM recs also! Feel free to send asks or dms about anything FM-related, as well ^^ I'm always looking for more to check out, and always open to talk about them if anyone wants.

#thief the dark project #thief the metal age #thief gold #hi if you saw the first list i just prettied it up and added individual links/a few more related links #hopefully posts with links aren't still being hidden in tags because wow is this one loaded with them #if any of them are incorrect lmk and ill fix it it was just. So many to do #enough people were interested in the original list that it makes me think this might be a Thing people want and not just like #me giving my unsolicited opinions in the main tags #if that's how it comes off then Oh well LMAO #ive played. many more fms than this list and i could have kept going but i wanted to keep it to ones i really loved or found memorable #or fun or a good introduction to fms in general #if you're playing fms for the first time hi have fun you've got So much more thief ahead of you. there's so much out there and it's a blast

i really need to finish this one day

#one of my fave ideas but i keep getting stuck or starting over. third time's the charm hopefully #anyways. posting it as an excuse to rant because i'm losing my mind over this rn for no reason #incoherent but i just need to Talk or my brain won't shut up #you ever think about how fucked up it is that aoi feels guilty over what happened. i do. i think about her a lot #he can't even look at me. we aren't even blood related but he still had to go to jail because of me. i still love him #in reality none of it is her fault. it shouldn't be about doumeki in the first place. baby girl you were 15 when it happened.#you can say that yashiro is cruel in his dismissiveness (on the surface) of doumeki's trauma but you can see where he's coming from #you got a glimpse of what your sister was going through? of what i went through? and now you're sooo guilty over it? and who does it help?#doumeki's so focused on his own feelings that he ignored aoi when they were living together. “saves” her by pure chance #proceeds to focus on his guilt and ignore her again. if yashiro didn't get involved she'd be sitting in the rain for god knows how long #yet she still loves and to some degree idolizes him #yashiro and aoi both saying that doumeki isn't the type of person to be a yakuza too. doumeki's good doumeki's better than that #and then ch 24 happens. where yashiro says that he's going to throw up and doumeki's response is “i probably won't stop even if you do”#“guess i am like my father after all” and yashiro still goes “you're not. you're pure and im the problem”#(touches doumeki's face. rare gentle gesture. he's gentle afterwards too before leaving. man.)#he's not cruel enough to repeat what he said in the earlier conversation and he doesn't actually believe it anyway #but i wish yashiro was cruel there. it shouldn't have been about doumeki and his feelings. again.#something about yashiro throwing a knife at another person and it flying back at him huh #for all the talk about how doumeki supposedly romanticizes yashiro it really is the other way around. always has been #which is a whole other conversation but yeah. everything about aoi and yashiro in relation to doumeki makes me so fucking sad #but this is also what i mean when i say that aoi doesn't haunt the narrative per se but still has this weird presence?#she's in the parallels. she's in the brief but important mentions. she's in the “your sister was lucky she had you”.#wips tag

I played Alttp & LA HD for the first time this year and they were both GREAT!

When I picked the first one up I was kind of worried that I wouldn’t be able to appreciate the classic. I’ve played 2D games before but it’s been many years since I’ve touched one. I’ve also primarily grown up with 3D games, especially where Zelda’s concerned. Ironically though, that’s probably why the experience it created for me felt so special. It’s old with it’s own brand of challenges, and yet I really wasn’t expecting how much it would move me all throughout my playthrough. I was already giddy by all the charming details and character, so discovering just how deeply this game and it’s sequel has obviously inspired all the Zelda games I grew up playing with? I was floored. It all suddenly clicked and it was like discovering something old and completely brand new all at once.

I enjoyed both games so much. There’s so many characters and scenes that caught my imagination and that has been calling me to draw. For now, here are some illustrations of Link in the mountain regions of the first game. The Bully and Gumball in particular (and as I like to call them) were some of my favorite character encounters. It must of been so surreal for Link to run into them only briefly after getting turned into a rabbit. They were a really amusing pair, and it was really fun trying to reimagine them!

#a link to the past #legend of zelda #alttp #loz #bunny link #bully and gumball #lost old man #my art #fan art #I'm back to working a regular work schedule #should of anticipated how severely that would impact my art time #having the summer off made me forget how tough it gets to work on personal stuff during the rest of the year hhhh #I wanted to wait to post these until after I finished another related piece that I've mentioned in previous tags but #might not be ready for a while. So have these early. Probably should of just posted them sooner anyhow #Hey! so here's a fun fact:#Bunny feet look NOTHING like a dog's or cat's. They aren't padded at all and are actually just as fluffy as the rest of the bunny!#Found this out almost immedietly after posting a drawing including a rabbit and the truth has been eating me alive #I think I've only ever seen a rabbit once or twice in person. And never up close. How was I to know? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯#But you think I would of noticed what with all the bunny photos I was looking at. smh big fail on my part #So yea anyway that's why Twi Bunny still has canine feet and this Bunny Link's got pillowy toesies

Boy, I sure do "love" it when I search the tags for a specific character, and not only are the tags filled with the movie version of the character (fine, that's at least relevant) but also filled with random pictures of the actor in any role, because some people apparently tag pics of the actor with EVERY major role they've played.

And by "love it" I mean I'm going to start biting petty blocking people.

#no seriously what do you guys think the tags are FOR?#why are you tagging irrelevant stuff on your posts?#you are not being thorough or whatever you think you are doing #you are clogging the tags with irrelevant bullshit and making it harder for people to find things they actually want #see also - tagging EVERY major character from the series on a post related to only one character #there is no point to the tags if you do this shit #I mean I'm very bad at actually tagging things but at least I don't tag things that aren't actually in the post
