On Community Tags

I know that a lot of people have been complaining about the new community tags feature, saying that normal tags are a thing and have been around for ages, but it really is more helpful.

See - basically everyone on Tumblr uses different tags for stuff that they don't want certain people to see. Usually, using the normal TW system (e.g. #TW Flowers or #Pollen TW) or, if you know them well enough, maybe something like "#altamont498 don't look."

But when it comes to - for example - NSFW content, there's loads of different tags that people use and all kinds of variations that take a LOT of work for someone to program into Tumblr's tag filter settings.

Whether it's just plain and ordinary "NSFW," "NSFW" or "NSFT" that's been chopped up using all kinds of symbols or letters to try and reduce the chances that someone's post will be shadowbanned (e.g. NS//FT) - which in turn can play havoc with screenreaders - or the million variations there are out there of the words "Minors Do Not Interact" or anyone's aesthetically-pleasing tags.

Whereas the community tags, however, unites it under one and gives people over 18 the chance to easily filter out the stuff they do or don't want to see, and blocks users from under 18 from viewing it until they're old enough to decide for themselves; Bringing Tumblr in-line with basically every other website and app out there like Reddit and Twitter.

It also provides a clearer click-through warning, especially because not all content that's tagged "Minors DNI", for example, isn't necessarily unsafe for minors. There are people out there who don't feel comfortable interacting with minors online for whatever reason, but at the same time, don't necessarily post the sort of things that minors shouldn't be allowed to see.

And, likewise, it means if someone is looking for a bit of a "good time" 😉 online, they don't have to try a thousand different variations on tags because someone decided that "~ UwU Naughty Content UwU ~ | NSFW" fitted their blog aesthetic more than just plain ol' NSFW ever would.

Plus, like I mentioned earlier, it means that minors aren't going to have to be continually exposed to the stuff that they shouldn't see or shouldn't be interacting with whilst having to add another few dozen variations into their filtered tags.

So yes, Community Tags are more useful than they first appear. And, who knows, maybe we're headed into a brighter future where The Great Female-Presenting Nipple Ban could be undone.

(REMINDER: The porn ban is still, very much, in place at the time of writing.)

About me & this blog

Hello, call me T3, Birb, or Borb, whichever you prefer.

I've made this silly corner of the internet because I have an unhealthy obsession with a fictional character and want to contribute to the fandom, be it feeding the algorithms with likes n reblogs n shit or my own produce :P

Unique tags found on this blog:

Borb's Scribbles (art)

Borb's Rambles (thoughts, theories, etc)

Borb's Garbage Dump (works in progress, may or may not get finished)

Borb Answers (ask responses. May sometimes also feature scribbles and rambles, depending on the ask)

Not mine (obvious lol)

Unholy Abomination - universal mature tag, may contain either adultery or robot guts. Used liberally just in case, even if the art is technically sfw

Other noteworthy things:

English isn't my native language, my apologies if my words are hard to read or understand

This blog is hyperfocused on Ramram. Probably a stupid idea in the long run but this account is a semi-throwaway anyway

I don't reblog much as I lowkey don't see the point. This is a place for my produce, not a spam blog. That said reblogs do show up on the rare occasion. I do my best to make up for this by leaving likes and comments on other's posts to show support :)

I'm here to have a good time, not cause or experience discourse, so please don't be a jerk, just block me and ignore me if my existence bothers you

I am, to some extend, a pro-shipper. I barely have any preferences when it comes to Ram ships, I'm fine with just about any (including self-inserts and OCs)

There are some shipping dynamics I don't like, one or both characters being OOC as hell, general toxicity and abuse, underage x adult, non-con, things of that nature, but I'm fine with pretty much anything deemed "problematic", assuming the issue is handled reasonably well (and if it's not handled well... the creator has a right to vent via creative media, even if I don't like said media. Better have them let out their frustrations creatively than... you know. Actually acting on them.)

For Ram fandom's "problematic" ship specifically, I'm neutral on Ramyatta, slightly leaning towards the don't like it territory, but for reasons other than the whole pseudo-incest thing (it's not incest in my eyes because robots don't have genes and monastery titles, but I can see how Ram and Zen calling each other "brother" is offputting)

I generally don't take requests, but if I happen to vibe a lot with a certain concept, I might just draw it

I'm open to talking, but I'm shy and perfectionistic. So please don't take it personally if I don't respond for a while ;-; I'll try to do my best.

I am a-okay with naughty topics, just know that I'll probably be embarrassed about it

About my art:

Krita 5.2 + Huion Kamvas Pro 16

My "style" is inconsistent as fuck as I'm going to be experimenting a lot for improvement purposes

If you wish to use my art, I am fine with the following:

Profile pictures, profile backgrounds, device wallpapers (with credit provided somewhere easily accessible, if it's shown publicly)

Coloring uncolored lineart

Side Note 1: I would like to know about you using my work, but telling me isn't mandatory (provided you follow these rules)

Side Note 2: Almost all art posted has been heavily downscaled from the originals (about 3 times smaller), so they may look terrible in certain use cases. If you want the full res, reach out to me privately, I'll send it over if I'm confident that you won't misuse it

I am NOT fine with the following:

Commercial use of any kind

Feeding into AI generators

NFT nonsense

Modifications of any kind EXCEPT coloring plain lineart

Reposting anywhere, especially Tumblr. If you REALLY want to share my stuff, I'm flattered, but please use links instead...

FAQ:

Frequently Asked Questions (medical and personal)

Autism levels, support needs, severity, and terminology:

"Master-master post" about autism and terminology

Archive:

Words for when you suddenly can't speak anymore (based on suggestions; list is closed now)

What is receptive language disorder?

Why people still talk about "severity" in autism (double link)

Nonverbal/nonspeaking masterpost

Communication with autistics who are nonverbal "from birth"

Functional communication doesn't mean that you are able to self advocate

Support Needs and Support Levels masterpost

What trying to reclaim the R slur when you don't have ID implies (the reblog)

I use "severe" as a self-descriptor because that's what I was diagnosed with and therefore that's what people always refer to me as. I use it to indicate that my symptoms are different from most autistics on Tumblr and that I probably can't relate to most "extremely relatable autism posts" on here. I would never(!) force a label on someone, it's solely for myself.

You'll find my tag system and other things under the cut:

1. If I ever use too complex language for you, please tell me!

Writing TL;DRs and finding simpler ways to express myself is actually good for my language comprehension skills, so we’d both benefit! I think in pictures, not in words. Writing is like a jigsaw puzzle of things I once read, so if my language is complex it’s because the text jigsaw puzzle was. Reformulating things and finding new words for the pictures in my head could improve the ability to express myself :)

2. I don't expect anyone to "read between the lines" and extract "hidden meanings" here! I make it clear when I'm sarcastic or joking, and I will explicitly tell you when I want you to know that I'm angry or annoyed! ☝🏼In case I forget that, it's never your fault if you didn't get it, it's mine because I promised to make it clear but didn't.

3. I turn notifications off for bigger posts - if you want me to see a comment, tag me! (Edit: I was told that you don't see tags from muted posts either... So if you want me to see a comment, DM me!)

4. Radfems kindly don't follow - your beliefs contradict the beliefs of most of my followers in a way that I think at some point you'll simply start attacking each other and I wouldn't want that. Especially for those who are higher support needs. I think you'll understand that. I mean most of your beliefs contradict most of MY beliefs as well, but I simply don't engage in that, I have radfem content blocked.

5. Transableds, you shouldn't have the fact that you're transabled (for example transautistic) in your profile when following me, because I block people posting about that.

6. Don’t take it personally if I don’t follow back, it doesn’t mean that I don’t like you! There are so many people I’d like to follow back, but if I did my dash would be full of posts I’m not interested in...... Maybe that’s an autism thing too. Sometimes I follow “regulars” back after a while because I got used to them. And then the first thing I do is spending hours (hyperbole) blocking tags or words so that I don’t have to see 100 video game posts... 😄

7. I don’t soft block people - but sometimes I want to block a bot and mix up usernames... So if it should ever happen that you used to follow my blog, but suddenly realise you don’t anymore: That was an accident, feel free to re-follow! Kicking you off my follower list wasn’t me setting boundaries, it was me being absolutely confused! 😂

8. Tag system:

#anecdotes - positive posts about my family

#anon ask or #ask - block if you don't want to see my asks

#faq - exactly what it says: frequently asked questions. Better read it before you send an ask

#me trying to be informative - more or less informative posts about autism or other disabilities

#music tag - block if you don't like random talking about bands and tastes in music

#naughty post - sometimes I'll tell dirty jokes or something. Nothing explicit of course. In case you struggle with topics like that, block this tag

#not autism - block if you're only here for the autism stuff

#rambling - whenever I just want to write down a thought or situation and it's not really important

#sina's special interest - block if you don't like music theory and instruments like the piano

First off, I'm going on anon for this cause idk if this is going to receive backlash or not. This doesn't mean 'don't tell me that I am wrong' or some bs like that so feel free to do that.

Second off, every single one of you is amazing and more accepting than most fandoms I have been in and I love that about you people. All of your works are awesome.

But here's the catch. I wake up and open this app and my dash is filled with mostly nff-related posts from this fandom be it fics or personal posts. Now if I didn't want to read something like that so early in the day I used to ignore it. When that didn't help, I used the blocking tag system. But this is Tumblr we are talking about, still these posts kept showing up.

This made me really uncomfortable. Now I can't help but think I have to stop following a lot of people to avoid this. And it makes me feel bad. I am going to ignore people because what? They were doing what they liked to do? Maybe I am not a big fan of their daily activities but this feels like I am judging them and just doesn't feel right.

I'm sorry for spamming your ask box. This has been on my mind for too long and I genuinely don't know what to do about this.

Hiiii,

It's absolutely not a bad thing to be uncomfortable with or disinterested in something someone is posting. I feel the same way sometimes; it can be a little frustrating if people aren't correctly tagging things or if they're posting a lot of stuff I'm not interested in or comfy with.

You can always politely ask them to consider using tags or to make a single tag for NSFW or non-starker posts so it's easier for you to block content you don't want to see, or you can use Tumblr's new blocking feature, which let's you filter out posts that contain specific words even if they're not tagged. You can find it on the same Filtering page, at the bottom on both dashboard and mobile.

For example you can filter out naughty words like 'cock,' which is a very common word in smut works, and it will hide any post containing that word. (If you're specifically looking to block NSFW content I highly recommend blocking as many words as you can.)

I most commonly use not starker and sie talks to tag anything not related specifically to starker or fandom content respectively. I also tag any adult content with both NSFW and NFF.

If a blog won't add tags and posts a lot of stuff you don't want to see, as mean as it might sound its definitely best to just unfollow them and try to find a new blog that's better suited to your interests. There are lots of blogs in the Starker fandom who are SFW only, and if you're unsure you can always ask a blog.

Curating your own space and experience is a big part of existing on a platform like Tumblr, and it's not at all mean or judgemental to make sure you're providing yourself with a happy, enjoyable space and experience. As long as you're not actively being mean or rude to people, you're doing okay!

I hope this helps you some, Anon, and I hope you're able to make your time on Tumblr a little more enjoyable! If you'd like finding SFW blogs, don't hesitate to make a post or come back and I'll do my best to wrangle some for you ❤

Recap #3: The month of the BLOCK/SLUMP/RUT 🤣

It’s the time of the month where I look back and ramble, give some shoutouts, ramble some more... Reflecting is such a big word but I suppose it fits. Or maybe this is more like my journal 📗

Ao3/Fanfiction

Soooo, August has been a bit of a peculiar month for me. I miraculousy managed to post one drabble, at least, but my writer’s block is still very present and fucking with me... My head used to overflow with all kinds of smutty ideas and now it is close to blank apart from this one idea (which is a Kaka/Iru/Yama doing the naughty in Iruka’s headmaster’s office with Kakashi and Yamato in Anbu gear - not a word written though, just lives in my head).

So instead I have been indulging in reading fanfiction and it has been wonderful! I am in love with @pinkcatharsis Ever after Tenzou/Iruka, @vulcan-highblood Will You Stay The Night (or will you stay forever)?, A Match Made in... and You Feel Like Home (and i don't know why) - all three are Kakashi/Iruka, as well as @cyhyr Branding Kakashi/Iruka. I didn’t know Ao3 History kept track of how many times I’ve accessed a fic and it looks like I have stalked you cause all of these have about 30 visits each from me. What can I say, I reread XD Anyhow, thank you so so much for sharing your wonderful work~~~ 🍠 🐬 🍆

I’ve also been reading @ao3commentoftheday blog whenever they post and I am rethinking and relearning so much about fandom still. I’d like to think I am opened minded and supportive, but I realized that I am very much influenced by the performance and production oriented society that I live in - especially from my work place... It’s all very well summarized in @mysticmilks post. I think the analogy is spot on 🍪🍪🍪 I know I’ll never get it 100% right all the time myself either, I am just committed to trying and doing what I can.

And another completely random realization I’ve had is that I am going to switch my multi-chapter drabble fic into a series where the drabbles are stand alone. When I started writing just three months ago I felt very insecure about my low word counts and felt as if it would be misleading to treat each drabble as a single piece of work. Now, I would never think like this about another author so I realized I was giving myself a hard time.

Micro fiction, flash fiction, drabbles are just as much fanfiction as anything else. From a practical stand point too, I realized that the tags would make more sense if the drabbles are separated. Most drabbles are Explicit but some are Teen and Up, again, most are smutty but a few fluffy too - now everything is just blanket explicit and smutty which doesn’t really tell the whole story.

Tumblr/Fanart

For I while there I could still draw but sadly for my block spread and took that away from me too... ... ... It got so bad that at a point in August I would feel dead inside when I looked at a canvas ☠️ I decided to take a step back from creating all together.

So I have just gone crazy on the like and reblog train! You all put so much wonderful content out there be it fics or fanart, headcanons, meta discussions or just your personal thoughts on random stuff, and memes - never forget the memes.

Also I am low key happy panicking over the surge of followers. Like THANK YOU but also all I do is reblog at the moment so even more THANK YOU. I wanted to draw something naughty to celebrate my 69th follower and maybe I still will, just very much after the fact 😅 Currently closing in on a 100 and I am just flabbergasted.

In August I was thinking that this would be my last monthly recap and I would switch to quarterly ones after this, but now that I am writing it, I am enjoying it, so we’ll just have to see, I’ll leave my options open for October~~~

Events

This is where I feel a tad bit sad again. I have a wonderful maze for the KakaIru Maze Challenge and I have WIPs for all my prompts but I am not making any progress due to my block. I am still hoping for this block to just GO AWAY and that I will complete the challenge now that the deadline has been extended, but I also know that I need to be kind to myself and not force anything.

KakaIru.rocks

So there’s this wonderful forum kakairu.rocks I have been apart of since I stopped lurking and became active in my fandom - I reblog their stuff quite often 😄 There are polls, quizzes and headcanon discussions, Fic recs and a bunch of amazing events run by the awesome @kakairu-shrine. We recently launched a more extensive prompt section to the forum too. I say we, because I was asked to join as moderator about a week back together with the lovely @kaoruhana08. I am honored and stoked. It is semi-official since already mentioned on the forum tumblr. Why don’t you come join the forum if you are into KakaIru ❤️❤️❤️

Closing notes-ish

I miss drawing and writing, and I’ve probably made it sound much worse than it is and I am sure that it will pass eventually and I will be back to my usual brain rot XDDDD

Last a shout out to everyone in Umino hours and KakaIru discord servers for being so supportive - YOU ALL ARE SO AMAZING!!

Also I understand it might seem weird for me to say I am in a block when I managed to whip up this here WALL OF TEXT. As always, if you read this far, why thank you~~~ 👀

#utterly self indulgent #nobody asked #reminescing #it's only been three months #it's already been three months #spread the kakairu loove~~~#but don't forget tenzou/yamato

Mind giving a brief summary of all of them, I'm just curious. (Wasn't here [for the fandom] until late 2017, but did catch some history for about half of these)

Ok so fandom/stream memes in that post plus a couple of extras i just remembered this morning:

Butters speedy run: I think it was s18 but there was two or three times during the season that butters would run TOP SPEED and slam cartman into the bathroom to yell at him and it was so goddamn funny a bunch of people made memes of it

Craigs knife: s20 craig brought a fucking knife in the scene when they destroy cartmans electronics, it was so funny bc everyone else had like bats and stuff but no he had a Knife ready to Kill. Lots of “et tu brute” memes in stream chat when he stabs cartman’s laptop

"Clyde is dead": pre s18, after SOT- Clyde falls off the castle tower at the end of sot and when he didnt show up in s18′s first couple of episodes everyone joked he was dead. A couple other notable “___ is dead” memes were s19 butters when he threw himself out the window and s17 world war zimmerman (i wasnt there for that but i joined fandom shortly after so i saw the residual memes) with token after cartman shot him

(NSFW) the word "tentadick" in relation to any character specifically Craig: 2014 fandom had a thriving nsfw community and we may have taken a page from the homestuck fandom’s book. (many artists were also hs fans so that made sense)

[Urinating]: Stream meme from s21 (or 22? i forget), closed captioning said [urinating] during the scene when sharon was peeing in the bathroom so we would just repeat it every week much to stream host’s dismay. Honorable mention is Spice22 which was the code that this sextoy shop ad would use as the promo code that we saw like every fucking stream night

Craigs on tumblr: s18 craig’s mom’s bush craig can be seen through the window with the drone on a computer looking at a blue website. Everyone then joked craig was on tumblr. I might have taken the joke too far and made an IC craig blog that some people thought was canon or run by the sp team oop

Cregg: craig egg

Yandere clyde: 2014 trend, lots of people were into yandere and its victim was clyde. like 3 separate askblogs with the premise it was wild but also very good

Long leg craig: my abomination after pointing out craig had long legs and tweek had long arms on his model. Memes ensued and it got out of hand. I have a whole tag dedicated to it

Quoting the I hate randy song, specifically the "stupid moustache man" line: someone wrote this beautiful song and everyone would rb it/quote it when randy did something fucking stupid

Set em up knock em down: This post, sorry i misquoted it in my original post

Pc Carnival Conspiracy: oh my fucking god this was a mess and it needs to go here. s19, naughty ninjas episode original synopsis had a thing about there being a “PC Carnival” in town that everyone needed to stop the boys from ruining. Original synopsis is probably still on the official forums. Anyway, 4chan (yes why we listened to 4chan i dont know) had someone talk about how the removal of it was this big conspiracy and how it was actually going to come into play later and it was fucking WILD bc s19 had the most batshit theorizing sp fandom has ever had but it was super fun

Mpreg stan anon: Not to be confused with ric who currently goes around and asks for adult stan and wendy and their son (ric is also kinda a shitty person so best to ignore and block him), mpreg stan anon was an HONOR to receive. Like in a haha funny sort of way if you got asked to draw stan marsh 9 months pregnant you knew you had MADE IT in the fandom, and most people drew it ironically but it was still a funny little art meme and mpreg anon if youre still out there i love you

#i dunno if i missed anything but thats what i can think of off the top of my head #i need to start keeping track lol #south park #Anonymous

get to know me more!

@funyasm tagged me and I’m bored after writing my chapter, so here it is!

✨ what do you prefer to be called name wise?

My name’s Sophie. My friends call me Spencou or Spence. We met on a Role-Playing game forum where I played a character named Spencer. We’re used to call each other by our characters’ names and nicknames, most of the time. My brother calls me Sis’.

✨ when is your birthday?

15th november 1993.

✨ where do you live?

Paris, France.

✨ three things you are doing right now?

I’m watching an episode of AT4W on youtube, scrolling on Tumblr and I’m drinking a coffee.

✨ four fandoms that have piqued your interest right now?

Definitely It and especially Eddie Kaspbrak and the ship Reddie. I’m kinda obsessed right now, writing fanfic, reading fanfic, daydreaming about it and all.

I just played the Last of Us 2 and I’m currently watching a let’s play from my favorite youtubers, Mari and Stacy from Geek Remix. I’ll probably read a few fics as well.

The tv show Barry (HBO) is a definite special interest for me. I’m probably going to watch it all once again real soon and I’m planning on writing a fanfic or two in the future. I’m dying for the third season to come.

Finally, I’m probably going to be super into The Umbrella Academy once again, when the second season will be released. I’m just really into Vanya, Klaus and Allison and I can’t wait to see more of them.

✨ how is the pandemic treating you?

None of the people I know have been contaminated, so I’m lucky about that. I’m not quarantined anymore, back to work, and the transition is not easy.

I feel like I’m more openly autistic than I used to be and that I can’t stand the rest of the world for a long period of time. I’ve experienced multiple meltdowns and shutdowns and I have real difficulties to socialize with most people or to focus on my work.

I feel incredibly naked and vulnerable whenever I’m leaving my flat without my mask on, so I think that’s definitely something I’m gonna have to work on in the future.

Leaving Paris and meeting my folks for my mother’s wedding, I found myself surrounded by people who mostly didn’t care about the virus, kissing each other on the cheek in true french fashion to say hello, hugging, not wearing a mask, not respecting any kind of social distance.

I was quickly overwhelmed by all of that, plus the noise, and I had to isolate myself in my parents’ car, sobbing hysterically and willing to suffer in a overheated car if it meant having a bit of peace.

There are definitely going to be long-term consequences. I can only hope that my physical health will remain okay, though.

✨ song you can’t stop listening right now?

Keep On by Sasha Sloan. I just really love the lyrics and the message.

✨ recommend a movie.

Whenever I have to think of a movie to recommend, Frank by Lenny Abrahamson is the first one that comes to my mind. This movie is an obsession for me since the first time I watched it and I often find myself watching it again and again. Despite its heavy subjects, it’s definitely a comfort movie for me.

Too often, movies featuring mentally ill characters will aim for the characters to “get better”, which doesn’t mean for them to find healthy ways to cope with their issues, but usually for them to look more “neurotypical-like”, if you know what I mean. Frank doesn’t go that way at all. On the contrary, it pushes the viewer to empathize with the main characters and to understand their point of view, their way of being.

It’s so incredibly comforting to watch a movie featuring mental illness realistic and not romanticized and to have the movie say “you’re different and you have issues, but you’ll find your tribe someday and be able to find your own happiness, even if it’s unconventional by society’s standards”.

I don’t know, I just have so much feelings about this movie. Plus the music slaps, the humor is hilarious (kudos to the random French guy who can perfectly understand English but refuses to utter a single word if it’s not in French) and the actors are truly on point (I can only salute Domnhall Gleeson, among everyone else who is also worthy of praise, because he definitely managed to make me hate his character in a way I almost never hated a character before).

Watch it!

✨ how old are you?

I’m 26 years old.

✨ school, university, occupation, other?

I used to be a librarian, but I couldn’t find a stable job in this field, so I passed an entrance examination and I’m now working in the tax administration. Yeah, not really glamorous, but it pays the bills and I’m accommodated for my disability, so it helps.

✨ do you prefer hot or cold?

Definitely cold. When I was a kid, I used to swim in mountain lakes, at temperatures close to 13° celsius, and I still take my showers mostly cold. I can’t stand heat, I get headaches very easily when it’s sunny and I’m getting confused easily whenever it’s too hot. I recently had a nosebleed at work so intense that I found myself spitting blood (it went better once I got a fan, making the temperature bearable).

✨ name one fact others may not know about you.

I used to be allergic to my own sweat when I was around 18, until my early twenties. Whenever I was doing a mild physical effort or getting stressed out, I would get hives and itchy skin rash all over my whole freaking body, which was so exhausting that I would fall asleep immediately as soon as the rash was gone.

It disappeared as suddenly as it appeared, without me ever doing something about it. I still don’t know why I experienced that and if I’m going to experience that ever again. I hope not.

✨ are you shy?

My autism makes social interactions complicated, but I’d say I’m mostly impaired by my social anxiety and the various traumas I’m dealing with daily.

Traumas I got after having been bullied pretty badly by kids and teachers during my school years, my stepfather being borderline abusive and different traumatic experiences, including my childhood crush dying from a ski accident when I was 15 or so (and me never being able to tell him that I loved him) and people betraying me so many times that I can’t even recall every little thing.

As a result, I find myself doubting constantly that I’m worthy of love, affection and respect and I often wonder when I’ll do or say the “wrong” thing that will cause me to lose everyone I care about. I also have a hard time knowing who I am and, as a result, allowing everyone to know who I am as well.

I often don’t know what to say and will find myself keeping my mouth shut, even on topics I’m knowledgeable about, because I’m scared of people shutting me down, among other things. My friends make it easier for me to talk about things I like and all, but I’m still heavily doubting myself.

I try to challenge myself regularly. I’ll force myself to take part in events that are taxing or that are forcing me to perform in front of people. That’s how I found myself taking part in the casting part of the french equivalent of “American Idol” (I merely met the pre-judges, but I did manage to sing my whole song in front of them). I needed to prove to myself that I could do it.

✨ do you have any preferred pronouns?

I’m using she/her, but I don’t mind people using they/them to talk about me if they don’t want to be gender-specific.

✨ any pet peeves?

I hate how people can freely and openly be homophobic, racist, ableist, transphobic, sexist and so on, but as soon as I open my mouth to let them know that what they said/did wasn’t appropriate, I’m labelled as one of those “hysterical feminists” or a “party pooper”. s/ Sorry if your antisemitic joke isn’t making me laugh, my “dear” colleague... /s I hate whenever people infantilize me, especially my mom. She’s still keeping an eye on my bank account, despite me telling her that I didn’t want her to do so again and again. I don’t dare to block her out, because I’m scared of her emotional reaction. I hate the ugliest parts of fandom, notably the obsession with “who’s topping / who’s bottoming” whenever there’s a gay pairing or the racism / ableism / transphobia / homophobia I’ve witnessed again and again.

I don’t dare to engage in the Last of Us 2 fandom because of that and the way some people describe the character of Abby (a very muscular woman), focusing on her physical appearance and calling her awful names (being downright transphobic when they thought that she was the transgender character that Naughty Dog announced there would be in their game).

✨ what’s your favorite “dere” type?

I had to google it, because aside from Yandere and Tsundere, I didn’t know a thing about it. I guess you could say I’m a Dandere (someone who is quiet and asocial. They are afraid to talk, fearing that what they say will get them in trouble.).

My favorite type is Kuudere though, when it comes to anime in particular (someone who is calm and collected on the outside, and never panics. They show little emotion, and in extreme cases are completely emotionless, but may be hiding their true emotions. They tend to be leaders who are always in charge of a situation.).

My favorite anime character, Kiyotaka Ayanokōji from the anime Classroom of the elite, is the most extreme case I can think about. He’s completely expressionless for most of the anime, talks with a very dull voice and it’s impossible to know what he’s thinking about at all times or what’s his overall plan. His hidden depth makes him all the more fascinating. He managed to keep me interested in a mostly meh anime.

✨ rate your life 1-10. 1 being really crappy and 10 being the best you could ever be.

It’s a bit hard, but somewhere around 5 or 6? I went through tons of crap in my life but I’m still here and able to live on my own, even if my quality of life isn’t all that good. I live with nearly daily suicidal thoughts since I was a teenager and have to compose with my meltdowns and anxiety attacks as well. I feel “other” most of the time and I can’t relate to most people I’m meeting and interacting with, which can sometimes feel very lonely.

On the other hand, I have wonderful friends who are willing to put up with my trauma crap and are overall amazing to talk to and be around. I have a cat I love dearly. They’re the reason why I’m still alive to this day, giving me a reason to say fuck off to my suicidal thoughts.

✨ what’s your main blog?

My main blog is Ladyautie and is about autism. I have another blog, reddie-4-more, focusing on the It movies and Eddie Kaspbrak and Richie Tozier.

✨ is there anything you think people need to know about you before becoming friends with you?

So, uh, don’t be weirded out by the kind of things I can tell you about my past. Even if it seems a lot, all of it is definitely true.

For example, I was almost kidnapped when I was around 8 or 9 by a random guy, while I was camping with my father.

My father and my paternal grandmother actually kidnapped me and my brother when I was around two and I stayed with him until the social workers determined that my mother had to raise us again because our well-being and overall life were threatened.

Lots of events of my life seem far-fetched or out of a movie / a book or something and I had people telling me that I must be lying or that I’m over-exaggerating, something that always hurts deeply.

I’m terribly awkward and more or less openly autistic, so you’re definitely going to notice something different about me. I can’t change for you and I’m not willing to hide my traits only to make you feel more comfortable about frequenting me, so if you can’t handle my socially anxious and disabled ass, then just leave.

I need people to actually tell me what they think or feel. I’m very “first degree” and I’m pretty bad at guessing what people are thinking about. Don’t be afraid to be frank.

Finally, never, and I mean never, infantilize me. I’m a 26 years old woman. I’m not a kid.I’m fine with my friends offering to help or making sure that I’m okay or so, but never assume that I don’t understand something and don’t force your help on me if I say that I’m okay.

That’s it, those who want to take part in this exercise, don’t hesitate!

OK, so I tried to make a post with trigger warnings for a movie, but it didn’t show up in any tags. Someone made a helpful post about how Tumblr made sure that posts with certain tags didn’t show up.

(This makes people less likely to use tags to actually warn people about NSFW or triggering stuff. So it actually makes it harder to block and just harder to use the site in general--but what else is new.)

So the warnings for “sexual abuse” and “sexual assault” had to be deleted. I could keep the word rape, though there is a range of “sa” (I guess you just have to write that now?) that encompasses a lot, especially when people don’t want to use the word rape to describe the abuse, for a variety of reasons. (It might be vague, or too disturbing for the person using the word, or not all-encompassing, the list goes on.)

But because they have the word sexual in them, they are thrown in with all sorts of “naughty” stuff. It’s like the many people who equate trauma with “drama.” Ooh don’t talk about it; maybe it can happen, but you can’t SAY it; that’s offensive or distasteful. Like... the ACT is fucking distasteful.

I searched in the “rape” tag, and a notification asking if I was okay or if anyone I knew needed help. OK. I’m glad that’s a resource. But clearly this site is becoming increasingly unwelcome to just about anyone who isn’t, I don’t know, a rich white republican businessman? I assure you, those people will not be flocking to Tumblr any time soon, I assure you, lol.

It’s unwelcome to educators, people who ACTUALLY care about CSA (in spite of the blatant lie that all this anti-sex stuff was to make it “safe” for “everyone,” including children), artists, fans, and all sorts of people who would *actually* want to use Tumblr.

This already poorly functioning website is becoming even more unusable: the tagging was always crummy, but, according to Tumblr, the tagging algorithm changes DAILY; the censorbots haven’t been able to stop pornbots, but they have made many Tumblrs unsearchable and unviewable because of “adult content;” blogs and posts are removed and censored by default, sometimes based on absolutely nothing (maybe there’s a splash of what resembles Caucasian flesh, whether it is or not, lol), so posts by slightly older Tumblrs left up for posterity’s sake become essentially useless.

The list goes on. But if this site is unwelcome to anyone who actually wants to use it, and works even WORSE than it did before, honestly, what is the point? If you can’t even participate in shitty fandoms or find content from friends, this site is absolutely useless.

Ahem. A moment, if you have it.

Super appreciate Tumblr hiding the chapter of my fanfic that I worked incredibly hard on for about 6 months from every single tag because it included the word “s e x u a l” (I cannot believe I have to put in the spaces this site is such garbage) in one sentence.

I even more appreciate how I had to go through a friend’s blog to find it, because she rb’d it more recently than I had and I couldn’t even find it in my own goddamn tags WHY WOULD YOU BLOCK MY OWN POST FROM MY OWN TAGS TUMBLR WHAT ARE YOU EVEN TRYING TO DO AT THIS POINT WHO PRECISELY ARE YOU HELPING

So yeah. Not sure if anyone was curious about that one gwenvid fic I started like two years ago and is somehow still going and got really angsty out of nowhere, but it sure is linked up there and I’m actually quite proud of it, which anyone who knows me knows is nothing short of miraculous.

Be careful, though, because there is a naughty word used once. Tumblr protected you once but I’m circumventing the rules.

#campcamp #camp camp roosterteeth #gwenvid #cc david #cc gwen #forestwriting #am I putting this back in the tags?#fuck yeah I am #I just realized why it never showed up #and this took me SIX MONTHS #i actually don't know maybe this post also contains no-no words #wonder if this will show up

How to filter Misha right out of your face?

Dear @deans-jiggly-pudding

Another fan sent this screenshot to me with the words ''all the wrong tags''. I concur. I looked up the post in your blog and it only had these tags and no more. So that is a relief. Unfortunately, and I know this for a fact, non-destiel shippers always complain that destiel shippers tag everything destiel so the ship will have leverage during engine searches. It also gives the illusion that the ship is most popular.

Now, most neutral fans don't care about what destiel fans do. However, when your tagging system results in their own space being invaded, they don't like that. They don't want to see Destiel in the Supernatural tags because Superntural has a canon that Destiel is not a part of. The Jensen tag should include things that are related to Jensen Ackles. That includes his career path, his personal life, his wardrobe, his hairstyle etc. The Jensen Ackles tag is for lovers of Jensen Ackles. It is not for lovers of a ship. This post is a prime example of how not to tag. The picture and the humor used, have nothing to do with destiel. The second and third tags are wasted. The Supernatural tag is iffy, because this post has nothing to do with the show [its a con event], however the line is from Supernatural so it gets a pass. Humor is a general tag, and unless the users of that tag are familiar with SPN, they are not going to appreciate this unfamiliar post, about a joke they don't get, on their dash.

Tumblr recognizes the first five tags as most important, however you can have up to thirty tags, although you don't actually have to use all the tags. Your first five tags will appear on somebody's search engine more frequently than other tags. This is where you went wrong with your tagging. You should have tagged your post:

J2M, Jensen, Jared, Misha, spnquotes

That's it. Five tags, all relevant to the subject matter. Now, the funny thing is how much this messes up Misha Collins. Misha is losing popularity with many fans, mostly because of the destiel thing. You cant think about Misha without thinking about Destiel. He is adopted Destiel as ''his brand'' which is not a smart thing to do. Not everyone is ''into'' shipping. So if they don't like shipping, they wont like him. He is essentially shutting the door on his own face. This type of post actually is something all fans might enjoy, if they like J2M's antics on stage. However, you labelled it destiel. I don't know why. And anyone who cant stand destiel and has blocked the tag, wont see this. Its not shippy. Its funny and has all three guys. General viewers of the show will enjoy it for its silliness, but because of one tag, this post will fly over their heads.

I would like to notify you, if you are a Misha fan, that he is losing a lot of fans. In fact, I have come across fans who don't like him anymore because of the destiel thing. A post like this might have made them smirk, but it doesn't. Because of the tags. The interaction in the post is between Misha and Jared. Jensen is just looking on. And yet the first tag pulls focus towards destiel [i.o.w. Dean and Cas]. Fans who enjoy sastiel or Mishalecki [for whatever innocent or naughty reasn] are going to feel excluded. Tagging the way I have, shows that there is no division and anyone who likes SPN will enjoy the post. And people who are irked by shipping can enjoy a post about Misha without being put off by destiel.

As it is, some people block Misha's tag because of the influx of destiel related things they are going to find in that tag. So eventually Misha will get so unpopular that nobody will want to see him or anything related to him. That is why his con [indycon] flopped. People didn't want to go this con for many reasons, although destiel is one of them. Posts like this don't help the situation. But he is your idol, so do as you wish. Just thought I would point this out to you. So when Misha disappears from public life due to lack of popularity, you will know why.
