#bloggy stuff
Text
being an ao3 writer isn’t just sitting down, putting words on the page and posting.
it’s spending hours hunched over a screen and only forcing out a few words, it’s nights when you can’t sleep because you have to write, so badly it’s like a frenzy inside of you. it’s scrolling for long stretches of time on pinterest looking for a photo that’ll spark inspiration. it’s putting way too much pressure on yourself to complete prompt challenges or requests. it’s posting one night and waking up to just 3 hits, no kudos and no comments. it’s pouring your soul out into your words and nobody taking it seriously because it’s fanfiction, because you’re a teenager, because it’s not a real book. being a writer is a blessing and a curse, and i don’t think i could live without it.

Okay, so I'm finally catching up on Dracula Daily (I got like a month behind somehow, which I know sort of defeats the "daily" of it, but I'm working on it) and anyways I'm just now reading Jonathan's June 29 entry, and--
"The last I saw of Count Dracula was his kissing his hand to me"
Did Dracula just blow our boy Jonathan a kiss??
I suppose it's likely some other old-fashioned gesture that I'm not familiar with, but then again, it could well be the blowing-you-a-kiss gesture in a mocking way ("with a red light of triumph in his eyes, and with a smile that Judas in hell might be proud of." I do love that description.) I feel like there's something I might be missing here but right now I'm definitely picturing Dracula blowing Jonathan a wicked little kiss.
#back at it with using my main blog in more of a bloggy journally way again :)#Dracula Daily#Jonathan Harker#Count Dracula#random thoughts#and questions#Bram Stoker#post-lunch break posting this time#am blogging :)#trying to remember what all tags I've been using for this stuff#is there a ship name for those two? maybe like#Joncula#? lol. or like#Count Harker#hahaha idk what I'm doing. I know Dracula is an evil baby murderer and Jonathan loves Mina (even more than the rest of us)#but I can't help reading this moment as just a liiiittle flirty#in an evil vampire way ofc. but still#yeah at first I thought Drac was kissing Jon's hand but then I realized it sounds more like he's kissing his own hand#how old is the gesture of blowing someone a kiss anyways? I wonder when that originated#many thoughts many questions#lowkey tempted to draw Dracula blowing Jonathan a little kiss but I'm not great at drawing expressions and I hardly find time to draw#I also want to draw wwdits Marwa looking at the stars but that's a whole different thought#once again rambling in the tags

Not Demon!Claire and Angel!Reader
BUTTT Eve Fletcher x Obsessed Stalker!Reader
So basically one of your parents goes to the senior center Eve works at. And you soon become infatuated with her beauty. Constantly staring at her every chance you get and stealing glances. Then the stalking begins, you learn her entire schedule. You start to follow her home, research everything you can find about her. That she’s divorced, that she has a college aged son, that she goes to classes. And little detail you try to identify before talking to her.
Though obviously Eve notices something is up, constantly feeling that she is being watch but has no idea. Part of her feelings like she going insane because that would be ridiculous. After all why would anyone try to stalk her.
When you decide to finally talk to her it all goes well. You and her have a pleasant conversation and you analyze her completely. The way her chest moves when she breathes, to the way her lips pronounce the different words she spoke. These conversations continued more regularly and you soon begin to gain Eve’s trust. Become someone she can come too and rely on.
Your goal is to have her all to yourself no matter what.
-🐰
OH MY GOD!!! visiting the centre with your parent so often that eve doesn't see any of it as like weird bc she just thinks your such a devoted child and want to look after your parent when in reality you're there for her (an element of it is for your parent bc you wanna look after them).
bunny anon you did it AGAIN. your brain is a work of art
#🐰 anon#c: eve fletcher#anon#asks#incredible thoughts#have not stopped thinking about it ever since i saw this (sorry its been here a lil while)#work's been hectic but today i need to do bloggy stuff and my anxieties crazy intense

And by the way this is one of my favorite episodes of steven universe. so good. I really liked it
#bloggy#I tend to like what people call 'the filler episodes' more often than the main storyline stuff ngl#not even in steven universe although it is a good example. just in general for serial cartoons

got through ep 8 of kuuga today!
points of interest:
i'm increasingly becoming extremely endeared to godai (suprise to no one? insert ryuji's "a real man oughta be a little stupid" etc etc etc_)
we got the first two new kuuga colors that briefly flash in the intro (though i guess white -> red was the first "new color," i mean blue and green). i found green a lot more interesting than blue but maybe that's bc i found ulf14 more interesting than ulf6 (the jumping around.... very 2000.....) also i really like that he just uses a gun in green form.
i'm enjoying ulf 03 being this sort-of comic-relief that keeps screwing things up for the other grongi and getting kicked around by them (also i'll try my best to refer to the grongi as their actual names when i can remember it but there are so many of them and it's hard enough keeping track of the ulf numbers.....if all else fails i'll just go The Grasshopper One... The Wasp One etc etc etc)
mika's plotline hit me really hard (thus rings in my first kr cry) but i might not technically count it bc just about anything with dead dads gets me these days lol
bringing up multiple times how ichijo Doesn't Have A Girlfriend is so jfhksdjhfsdfhskjf we have to laugh. esp when that examiner lady (idk police jobs.... forensics?) asks him and then he has to segue into introducing godai. okay girl. i try my best to go through first watches without the Goggles(TM) but at this point i think they are welded to my face. (this is a lie the goggles are always on i mine for subtext like it's my job but i'm trying to not make that what most of my post is about)
ANYWAYS!!!!!! i also love sakurako she's my girl. i think she balances the whole dynamic out really well with some needed skepticism and caution (but also seeing her bike out to relay how blue form works mid-battle was so cool!) also not plot-related at all but she has this look where she was in this cream sweater and her hair seemed shorter than usual and it was A Look i was like omg....
the only thing i can think of that's not really clicking w/ me is godai's boss at the restaurant? he's just not my sort of comic-relief character, but it's not a huge issue i just get a bit bored if the focus is on him for a bit too long
that's it for my watch session today! i think i will try to get these sorts of posts out every time i watch a good chunk of a show!
#i don't usually do live-bloggy stuff publicly but i'd like to try for this!#it'll be less liveblog more end-of-watch-session thoughts/impressions#kalo watches kuuga#also this got longer than i initially expected i might put this under a read more in the future? maybe?

Hi, I love hearing about the scale and magnitude of Tumblr. Are there any numbers you could share with us nerds? Daily users, daily new posts, daily reblogs, whatever you're allowed to share. Because, yeah, even if there's always something new to discover, it does tend to feel like I'm in a bubble or some sort of echo chamber, and you have said that users like us (however you name the chatty, bloggy, unhinged type of user, you know what I'm talking about) are the lowest percent, so, like, what even IS going on at Tumblr day round? Are there a bajillion taylor swift and K-pop blogs just uploading GIFs without having conversations? A thousand Turkish users uploading pics of their day to no followers like it's Instagram?
It feels like we're the top of an iceberg made of an eldrich sized collection of isolated communities, light years away from one another, with completely unrelated cultures and uses.
Can you share numbers? Can you share what the average user/blog/post is like? Anything else you would like to share?
i don't feel comfortable sharing most numbers, but we do share posts created per day on our About page, along with a couple of other numbers, like the total number of blogs on tumblr and how many blogs are created per day. tumblr is still a bit distinct from other social media (and blogging) platforms in terms of average user behavior.
we have millions of daily active users, and most of them aren't posting anything at all. but the percentage of people posting is higher than the typical assumed 1% rule of creation-versus-consumption, which is nice. the reblog-to-original-post ratio is like... 8 to 1 last time i checked. and likes-to-reblogs is like 10 to 1 or higher, at certain parts of the day.
most people on tumblr are "lurkers" who use the like button a lot, and sporadically reblog. also, most people only see ~25 posts or so per day, even if they have hundreds to see in their Following feed, which is why "Best Stuff First" is actually an important and used setting for many people. and the For You feed is similarly used and enjoyed way, way more than the typical old school tumblr power user would believe.
and yes, most content being posted are images, and a lot of it is stuff like taylor swift and kpop. if you go to the Explore Trending page logged out (like in an incognito window), you do get a sense for what's circulating around the platform. same with the Popular Reblogs dashboard tab.
regardless, even for me, who can look at this data in aggregate all day, it's impossible to get a birds-eye view of what's truly happening across the platform, let alone make sense of it. it's like trying to look at a city full of people and make broad strokes generalizations about it; sure, you can, but there's so much missed nuance that the numbers can't tell a story about.

THE BLOGGIES 2023: NOMINATIONS OPEN
If tabletop roleplaying games were a hydra, blogs would definitely be one of its heads.
Probably the smartest, zaniest one? The one with the unexpected ideas; the silliest quips; the most devious schemes; the most profound observations.
The OSR / post-OSR style of play arose on blogs. I was inspired to make roleplaying games because of a blog post (this one, by Patrick Stuart, specifically).
Beyond the actual playing of games with friends, blogs are the most important part of TTRPGs, to me.
+
Last year, Prismatic Wasteland hosted the inaugural Bloggies.
64 excellent posts from across the TTRPG blogosphere were considered. A celebration of our community, our psychic brain-trust---the many heads of this, our TTRPG beast.
All the nominees are worth perusing. Winners list here.
My post, "D&D's Obsession With Taxonomy", won Best Blog Post of 2022. (Thank you, everybody who voted!)
Because I won, it falls to me to host this year's Bloggies.
+
Nominations are now open for the BLOGGIES 2023!
Is there a blogpost about TTRPGs from the past year (December 2022 to December 2023) that you think deserves attention and recognition?
Tell me about it! Drop a link to it, tell me why you like it, tell me which category it falls under:
Theory---broad criticism, observation, and analysis about TTRPGs (its cultures, its aesthetics and texts, its politics, etc);
Gameable---cool stuff (monsters, subsystems, bits of design, etc) you could grab and add to your own games;
Advice---ideas, tricks, and procedures for making your games better / easier / more fun, basically adding to the play-culture;
Review---specific criticism of specific books / games / systems / adventures / products.
Drop your nominations in the comments below, or in this Xwitter thread, or wherever else you can get in touch with me on the Internet. Do this before the end of 31 December 2023.
+
How BLOGGIES 2023 Will Work
Here's how I am thinking of running things:
25 Dec 2023 - 31 Dec 2023:
Nominations open!
1 Jan 2024:
Nominees shortlist announced!
First week Jan 2024:
Public voting for Best Theory Post!
Second week Jan 2024:
Public voting for Best Gameable Post!
Third week Jan 2024:
Public voting for Best Advice Post!
Fourth week Jan 2024:
Public voting for Best Review Post!
First week Feb 2024:
Final round of voting for Best Blog Post Of 2023!
"Imperfection is a feature, not a bug, of blogging," as Warren said about the Bloggies, last year. I am but a single person. I will be copying much of his methodology.
I will be whittling down the nominations I receive to a shortlist of 64 posts (16 per category bracket), via personal judgment. No blog will be represented more than once per category---except for reviews (3 posts per blog).
Public voting for each category will happen in four rounds (16 / 8 / 4 / finals). Winners in each category will face off in a four-way vote for Best Blog Post.
Voting will most likely happen on Twitter, same as last year. (I am loathe to do this, but Twitter is still the social-media network most TTRPG people are on, sadly. But am also considering Google Forms. Thoughts?)
Month-long voting gives us the space to celebrate / argue over all the work our community has turned out this year---and gives me time to create prizes. (Am thinking of making linocut prints, inspired by the winning posts.)
Finals being announced in February just before the Lunar New Year justifies the header art above---as the Year of the Rabbit gives way to the Year of the Dragon.
+++
Here we go here we go here we go!
