#yeah i know another poll

[minisugakoobies]

Theoretically… if I had several SVT drabbles that were all near completion…

#mingyu #hoshi #dino #svt #seventeen #yeah i know another poll #i'm sorry! i'm a libra and i can't make decisions!

[marzipanandminutiae]

#poll #bad history #no Baylie Carson you cannot be 'she/they Boleyn' #you are a nonbinary actor playing a cis female 'character.' because she's not a character. she's a real person #who was a cis woman #with no known evidence of liking other women. ergo based on current scholarship...she was not queer #and it's cool I think! more trans and NB actors SHOULD play cis characters! god knows the reverse happens often enough! #but. yeah. #interestingly the pocket thing was a stolen and misrepresented bit of worldbuilding from another author #who was very clear- when the debate came to her attention -that it was fictional and she made it up #(it was from Alix E. Harrow's The Once and Future Witches) #but Forster blocked everyone who pointed this out and deleted all contradicting comments

#yeah it's a weird poll #but i have an explanation #i don't know enough about directors and executive producers to make a separate poll about them #but i needed to add robert singer somewhere #and i know that if i add another actors it'll just be 85% j2m and 15% everyone else #so if you want to rewatch the show with any other actor choose 'other' and write your option in the tags #polls #spn #supernatural #spn actors #jensen ackles #jared padalecki #misha collins

I have one more thing I want to work on before I get back into updating 2AL regularly, but until then......

#I was going to do a poptart mindscape introduction comic next but like #idk how necessary that is??? #I am assuming by this point we all know how the mindscape works right? #> can share memories #> can manipulate what you look like #> and can manipulate surroundings/summon whatever you want at will #I am assuming we know these things????? yeah? #2 arms left #and like! ah #gosh that animation project is scary #the last 2 options are build up comics for it that I am *probably* going to have to make at some point anyways #another part of me entirely is debating scrapping the animation project and just doing that update in comic form instead of animated form #YKNOW LIKE A NORMAL PERSON #idk #rambling #I am at a really weird part of the storyline for 2al where I know what happens next #but its going to be hard to visualize it? if that makes sense? #what do you MEAN these story points cant just get #beamed out of my head and into everyone elses heads #anyways hello thanks for reading this far into the tags #augh ive been very busy! #to whatever wins this poll I may not get to it till the end of the month #or after since the rest of this month is going to be pretty stressful #this is also assuming the animation option doesnt win #I dont know how long thats going to take me...... #assuming I even have the guts to finish it

#neutral is like. shrug. if you have nothing better to do / would put it on as background noise. or plain dont care either way! #but yeah im... poking streaming with a stick rn #im doing some research... based on the results of this poll ill make another wondering about preferred platforms #cause ive done streaming before. Technically #when i was active on instagram and they rolled out the live option id sometimes do a lil art stream #on my phone and a tripod #But! this time around id actually go get a mic and use a legit platform #probably either twitch or picarto... maybe youtube... but who knows! #who knows if i'll follow through with this at all! id like to! i remember enjoying streams! #it sounds like fun! #and i think it would be cool to show the Process - as slapdash as it is #absolutely unprompted #there are a lot of different things i could do on streams i think #could do streams were i focus on one project. request streams. commish streams. just chill draw session streams #streams where we all try something new Together... working on skills! #something to consider!

[leconcombrerit]

Let's check something again to distract me from the pain

I'm not putting Keng cause I like to believe we all collectively want his head and it would skew the results.

#dead friend forever #Yes another poll I know but but #stats are cool I love stats I NEED TO HEAL MY SOUL #I had to put every option but yeah #does anyone hate White? Genuinely? More than the others???

Okay so inspired by nothing in particular (it's inspired by reading the notes on the ace swag final poll, fun stuff in there), I have been thinking about being Cringe. Cause like, you enter a fandom, and usually, you find out shortly that somebody else hates that fandom. There is no fandom niche enough that it's not Weird to somebody, and there's no fandom mainstream enough that it's not Annoying to somebody else. And given the fact that some people do hatred recreationally, there's often going to be somebody mad enough about your fandom that they're going to go on diatribes about how your fandom is bad and actually harmful and destroying the fabric of civilization, etc. They're gonna pull out anything negative and blow it up until it's the size of the skyline and attack you for liking this negative thing.

Fun times, we've all seen it.

And the thing is, there's an impulse to have this happen and immediately find somebody else to point to and say, yeah, well, I might be weird, but at least I'm not THAT guy. I might read YA, but at least I'm not a Furry— those guys are sexual deviants! I might be into actual play podcasts, but at least I'm not into mcyt— those guys are all harmful and my guy is fine. I might be into danmei, but at least I'm not into bandom— rpf is so gross. I might be a furry, but at least I'm not into mainstream romance novels— senseless drivel aimed at middle class white women. Y'know. Immediately find someone to punch down on.

And boy do I understand why you want to do that, when people are pointing at you, but I don't actually think that it's helpful.

Cause like, every fandom has a logical train of thought and reasonable human impulses behind it. You might not share those impulses— I'm not a furry I don't think, I don't really get true crime— but that doesn't mean I can't have it explained to me by a very patient person in in the writer's workshop common room and go "oh, yeah, kinda pretending to be an animal, but you're gay about it, yeah, makes sense", or "oh yeah, morbid curiosity from the safety of your headphones, it's like a horror movie but real" and nod. Like there isn't a fandom or group out there that doesn't look weird from the outside, and there isn't a fandom or group that can't be explained if someone has thought about the human psyche enough.

And that isn't to say that there isn't sometimes salient critiques for what fandoms are doing or not doing— to grab the two examples above, I have heard people talking about issues with true crime reinforcing the current fucked up justice system, or bigotry at furry cons. But a) most of the time, there is already somebody inside that community that's fighting against those issues, and you just threw them under the bus with the problem they're trying to fix b) you don't usually know the nuances of the actual conversation and problems, you saw a couple callout posts. You saying "Yeah I'm a board game nerd but at least I don't play competitive trading card cames, those guys are doing nothing but feeding the capitalist machine" is not usually helpful towards fixing the ctg scene. It's just a cheap way to score points.

Like, I assure you that the YA scene is aware of the calcification of the genre into a tighter and tighter romantic form and their dependence on going big on tik-tok to sell enough to keep publishing. They know.

You specifically saying that your fandom is better cause it's not [problems you heard about other fandom having] is not actually going to make the person who's hating on you stop hating. They already decided that you're the person they're better than and that they're punching down on, you passing the punching down on to another fandom just makes more people sad on the internet, and potentially starts yet another chain of someone punching down at someone else. The wheel grinds on, everybody gets punched.

I guess this is just kinda turning into a "why hate on the internet, what good does that do" post, which is broader than I meant it to be. But like, there's a difference between thoughtful critique of problems (complicated to do fairly but very necessary) and finding someone new to curbstomp to make yourself feel better/morally superior (look, I'm writing this on a mcyt blog, we've all seen this happen, it does not increase the joy in the world).

Like in MCYT, we all decide to punch down on [other server we hate], or RPF, or people who write kidfic, or people who write e-rated fic/art, or people doing the popular trope of the moment, and sure, it lets you feel morally superior for the moment, at the cost of slapping the guy next to you. Haven't we had enough slapping the guy next to you? There but for the grace of god (got a fun idea/watched the wrong stream/ended up in the wrong brainstorming circle/got fixated on the wrong funny guy) goes I. You're not better than another group just because you saw a couple more callout posts (usually from people inside the community trying to fix things) about them.

We are all Cringe. There is nobody who's not Cringe. Don't say that you're not Cringe because someone else is more Cringe. Stop that.

#discourse #This is another thing where the public/private rule applies too I think #cause social media is public and what you do there is governed by different politeness rules #walking into your friend's dms and saying GOD I AM SO ANNOYED BY [other fandom] is a normal human impulse #posting that where other people can see that is potentially much more like shouting in the face of a random person #idk this is potentially something where me having a thousand followers is warping the perspective #cause I try to be really aware of the fact that who knows what people who see my posts are into #there's nobody I can throw under the bus and not have them see it #if you have eight followers all of which you know #you're much more effectively in a private space #idk #boy reading the tags on that ace swag poll was kinda a Oh Yeah They Really Hate Us moment #I forgot that cause I was just happy over here #but boy are we still an internet's favoured punching bag #and I just think making an effort to not continue to punching bag people might be good #fandom meta

#I've mentioned before that I think the overworld areas in crosscode are... just kinda there :/ #but they all still have some good vibes #so I'm morbidly curious to know which ones are the most liked (or... least disliked) #might do another poll for the temples too #also cave story reference #EDIT: oh yeah feel free to mention your least favorite area too #crosscode #polls #voting poll

Vanessa didn't even die and yet her story is still sadder and more fucked up than jtodd's. He wishes he was on her level

#may be a controversial one but i dont care this is my house #dont think there are enough of you to get hate over this anything #anyways no she didnt die. she wasnt killed by voter poll. but like the stuff that fucked her up was so much more real than a psycho clown #like im sorry but what is “you get beat up and die” to essentially getting taken and having the bad guys confirm to you that everything you #thought about yourself in middle school was true and everyone thinks youre ugly and worthless and not special and no one loves you. and then #ofc the medical torture. like im sorry but one of these things IS worse than the other imo #especially as the teen girl in the wonder woman comic like jesus christ #and while of COURSE the stuff about diana not loving her and all that is NOT true its something we see her struggle with as insecurity for #years beforehand. and then dc goes and brings her back into continuity in the past few years only to basically say “yeah wonder woman DIDNT #care about her! what a loser to think so and get all worked up about it! abt a vers of her who only has the name in common #like she wasnt dianas baby freaking sister with 100+ appearances #blah #vanessa kapatelis #anti jason todd #she also literally did the red hood arc before he did #with the whole attacking the successor and everything #yet another woman for him to steal from lmao #(this is mostly a joke. i dont think anyone making anything about jtodd canon or otherwise even knows what a wonder woman comic is but the #comparisons are still there.)

Some old narrow gauge Nia doodles I’ve done over the past month, Nia’s livery was inspired by 🌺mrterrier673🌺 on Twitter

Saw some edits of Nia with glasses and I fell in love we need more engines with accessories

Some pannier shaped siblings, they met pre-msr days (they didn’t come in the same time)but were very happy to reunite with one another in the msr then in the Skarloey Railway 😊☺️

Their sibling friendship/relationship is like alastor and Rosie or Mary and jack, Nia didn’t care about Stanley’s “jinx” and defended him whenever he got bullied, she’s one of the very few folks who can make Stanley genuinely happy and do things like singing much to his colleagues surprise (also livery inspiration for one another♥️❤️🧡💜💛🖤)

#ttte #ttte stanley #rws stanley #ttte nia #msr #msr stanley #rws #railway series #the railway series #my art #my art <3 #my art stuff #doodle #sketch #my doodles #my sketches #my sketchy art #my sketchbook #Nia is a ngr class n 4-6-2t 1906 in my au inspired by others folks take but was bulit in Nairobi central workshops #wanted to do a 1920s musical song but been playing Mary popping songs on loop and that is one of their influences #the first/last nia pic r poll picsdon’t know when they started bursting into song but yeah duke may be happy that they’re reunited not happ #When they’re singing the same song every day 😅sucks that’s their is only one pic of the basis I wanna use so sorry about that also I’m on t #give engines more facial accessories and other things like whiff;s glasses and Rosie’s and Kevin’s freckles making Nia;s livery purple and #orange I need to digitally draw them I did Nia’s human form and still finishing my 4/4 but Nia and Stan have been revolving in my mind a lo #I like to think they got liveries inspired by one another like the stripes/bands on their domes and yellow for Kyle 🥲

I see too many people reblog from that amtrak blog considering they appear to very much be. not normal. about objectum people. unless I'm missing some kind of meta context here

#I'm talking objectum blogs specifically yeah. every other post I see with this blog is them being weird - #about people who are probably joking about finding the trains sexually attractive. guys I don't think they're on our side here #i think if they encountered a train objectum they'd explode is what I'm saying #I think this is another sexiest object poll blog situation yeah #objectum #<<< putting in main tags just in case I am just. missing context here #Like if the amtrak blog is actually objectum and I just dont know or smth dshsdhsdhds #android.txt

Some notes:

≥ Would be greater than or equal to. In this instance, it's used as a shorthand for anyone who is 26 & older.

≤, Similarly, would be less than or equal to. In this instance, it's used as a shorthand for anyone who is 25 & younger.

I would also like to clarify -- in this case, I chose "do you have" deliberately. You do not need to personally own/have purchased said PC -- regular use of a family PC, or a library desktop, or anything of the sort is enough to qualify you, if you would like.

#em.txt #poll #polls #a specific post inspired this & i WILL be linking to it. but know that the post annoys me #i find it condescending in a few spots & i think it discounts a lot about people in general #frankly the limited options means this poll isn't as extensive as i would like #i debated on lumping tablets into another group like phones or laptops but... I'm sorry. get relegated to other #you can disclose your age if you want but mostly i would love if anyone who voted other says what they use #i grew up using the wii & wii u & an ipod to access the web. #oh yeah! hey if you share this i would be very thankful

#hiii I’m back with another silly poll #I was thinking about this last night #because I almost know which people will call me certain names #and it always makes me smile #because it’s like ‘this person knows me as this’ or ‘this person calls me that’ #I just think it’s really special #that so many people will know me or call me certain things #and like certain names I go by on here resonate with certain people #anyway yeah. which of my names do you like the most or do you know me by?

I love how in both the tragic character polls and in the tgsmp seidou lost rather early despite nearly all the reblogs rooting for him

#I need to enter him into another poll to see if it happens again #this is all so on brand for him tbh #And yeah I know there's still three days left on the tgsmp but it'd take a miracle for him to come back from 35% at this point
