right , I gotta post on tumblr too

almost forgot

A noodle for your troubles

the bafflement is hitting the fan today. I signed up for a trans aid clinic to get some help with legally changing my name and it turned out they weren't very enby inclusive and expected me to have a doctor's note diagnosing me as M/F trans specifically which like... did I walk into the wrong zoom call? The paperwork they sent me was also talking about a different county so I may actually be in the wrong place lol.

I just don't understand how gender is even a factor here. I've wanted to change my name for over a decade. I used it for years before I came out as nonbinary so... why do I need to 'prove' I have gender dysphoria to do that? What? Would a court actually deny me the right to change my own name to one that just happens to be less gendered (because I made it up)?? On what basis????

It was kind of weird how after I came out several old friends were like "aha, I see now why you changed your name! I wish I could do that but alas I am not trans." Huh? I changed my name because I had a dream where I was sailing on an ocean and some kind of god being spoke it to me in shapes and when I woke up and googled it I really felt like it fit me, not because I'm gender fluid. Girl it's your name right? You can just do that. At least... I thought you could. My cis great uncle who's been to prison did it so how hard can it be?

How in tf does FL Studio work?!?

I JUST WANNA MAKE A CUTE KIDS SONG ABOUT WHAT MISERY IS

can i post a drawing with blood in it?

is there a way to censor/blur images on this site so people can give at least a little consent before viewing content with blood? do people care?

i know blood can be triggering, i mean i can barely even get TW* those blood sugar finger pokes at the doctors, so i understand that blood- even fictional, could trigger some

it's not gore or torn body parts its like red paint splashed onto someone so is that something worth censoring? also i dont know how tumblr "for you pages" or whatever tumblr calls it works, i dont want random unsuspecting people to get a "gore" post for no reason

help me

I am memorizing the entirety of Crush by Richard Siken (I'm halfway through unfinished duet rn) and I was wanting to post videos of me reciting the poems on TikTok but TikTok is scary so then I tried uploading audios onto Tumblr but it looked stupid and anyways I am very good at procrastinating my homework.

(ps if I wanted to go insane and upload audios of me reciting these poems how would I do that?)

maybe it's for the best I don't know how anything works ever

hi yall! I'm new just made my account today and idk what in the world I'm doing :D. if i can have some tips?

to preface this post i am anti-advertising i think we should explode the entire industry but it's sooo funny when you people make posts like "and they don't even work!!" like. sorry to be the bearer of bad news but yes they do. that's why we have to put up with so many despite everyone hating them and thinking its annoying. because they actually work really well and make a shit load of money

obligatory turtle pile art

[Image Description: A digital illustration of Don, Mikey, Leo, and Raph from the TMNT 2003 cartoon. They all sleep in a turtle pile surrounded by pillows and blankets. Mikey and Leo are in the center, Leo’s arm around Mikey’s shoulder and Mikey’s arm stretched out over Leo’s stomach. Mikey sleeps open mouthed, while Leo looks relaxed and is smiling faintly. Don is curled up around Mikey’s side with his cheek resting on Leo’s arm. Raph is curled up around Leo’s back with an arm over his chest. Leo rests his head against Raph’s shoulder. A beam of light falls over their faces. End ID.]

In 2011, I started writing a thing, on a whim. In 2013, I finished it. A lot of people seemed to love it? Then over the next decade, I put a lot of work into expanding and editing it, with plans for a complete physical book release that didn't happen. Well, here it is again. As an internet novel. A finished novel, this time.

I will start posting the story on May 21st, 2024. May 22nd will be a day of rest. And then, from May 23rd until October 21st, every day will see a new chapter-- a new log. ("F-Five months?? How long is this novel?" Oh yeah, good point. That won't actually get us to the end. There may be another eight, ten days of chapters afterwards. It is important, however, to emphasize the May 21 - October 21 model.)

I will make sure to put the bulk of the contents under "Read More" breaks, so each log won't clutter your browsing experience.

The logs will have art in them. Not as much as in the original draft, but there will still be some. As of May 1st, I expect art by Rappu, RealaChao, Wiratomkinder, and Vis.

I plan on supplementing the logs with the occasional post talking about the making and intention of the story. I dunno, it's gonna be a five-month distribution period, I'm gonna get antsy during that and am gonna want to ramble. That'll be separate content, though.

And when the story is fully and completely posted on tumblr, I will release the full novel on my Website, where I like to keep the rest of my creations. Both the tumblr novel and the Website novel will be free reading, forever. I reserve the right to try again at a paid physical edition afterwards.

So! That's it. Rapture is coming. OH GOD THE RAPTURE IS BURNING is coming.

Trigger Warnings: Sex, Gods, and Rock & Roll. (violence. some swear words. teenage angst, cringe. death. insects. surrealism. symbolism. unpredictability of what will be explained and what won't. sexual acts with dubious consent-- you will be able to skip that part. religious iconography. and so much prog rock.)

Get ready for it.

merrill dragon age really reverse engineered an eluvian from first principles in a cave with a box of scraps and one single blighted shard. and STILL she gets no respect for it from anyone but potentially hawke, at least in a confused yet well-meaning 'are ya winning son' sort of way on the friendship path. dark days for women in STEM

(really though it seems the equivalent of a person in the middle ages putting together a nokia phone from rocks and sticks (and one coaching session from a spirit, fair enough) and then just not being able to figure out how to turn it on even though it is fully functioning. magically at least merrill is inarguably a genius. the tony stark of kirkwall. well not really that comparison falls apart pretty quickly but you see what I'm saying here lmao)
