Folks, please help a kindred soul in their quest for 00swann greatness. As a sideblog, how can I reblog content from other people? Posts I see on my dash look like they can only be reblogged from my main. And there's been so much interesting content to promote in the fandom these last few weeks (looking at you @swannscroft @milkwithginseng @mr-iskender) that I'd really like to be able to do something.
#also I'm going for a trip to Indonesia in the next two weeks but I swear that I'm planning to post more often#may even start using the queue function#having in mind fic recs#meta posts#analyses of Léa Seydoux' and Daniel Craig's top-notch acting and kissing techniques#there's just so much material out there it's indecent#hang in there fellow 00swann appreciators

hello!! i love seeing your fatshion and fat art posts on my dash :]) they really brighten my day! how do you find these posts? I've gone back to the original source of them and they aren't often tagged with "plus size" or anything :o
Hi, I'm glad you enjoy the posts. I've created many strategies to find fat positive content on this website since, sadly, fat representation is very difficult to find.
The easiest strategy is to search popular fat positive tags, like "fatshion" or "fat positive." However, most people don't tag fat representation, and many fat-related tags are overrun by thinspo blogs, fat fetishists, and fatphobes.
Sometimes I search "plus size" and another word to try to find specific posts. For example, I queued posts with a Valentine's Day theme for Valentine's Day. One of the strategies I used for that was to search "plus size pink," "plus size red," "plus size lovecore," "plus size valentines day," etc. I have to get creative like this when trying to find content of specific groups of fat people. As another example, when I want to find content for fat Asian people, I may search "plus size hanfu," "plus size jfashion," "Vietnamese fatshion," and any combination of words involving fatness and usually either a specific cultural clothing or country. If I just use normal search terms, I likely won't find anything.
Sometimes I look at popular tags like "artists on tumblr" and scroll through hundreds of posts to find a single drawing of a fat person. Usually said drawing didn't use any tags for the fat representation. This strategy is extremely based on luck and will involve spending way more time before seeing any posts of fat people, but this is one of the few ways to find posts of fat representation that weren't tagged with words related to fatness. What I would give just to get people to tag their posts of fat representation, you have no idea. Even if no one else started drawing fat people, there would be a mountain of more fat positive posts to reblog if those posts were simply tagged in a way to make them possible for fat positive blogs to find.
Some tags are more likely to include fat people, like tags for Mermay. Fat people are barely represented, but some artists are willing to be slightly inclusive when drawing mermaids. The likelihood of size inclusivity also goes up with events like Mermay since some of the artists who participate will draw a different mermaid design for every day of the month. It's hard to not draw a single fat mermaid design when a person is drawing 31 mermaids.
When I find an old fat positive or fatshion blog, I'll usually comb through the entire blog for posts. Not only do I find posts that way, but I also usually find other blogs with posts I can also queue. This ends up with me going through a chain of old blogs and why you'll see us post content that was made anywhere from 5 to a whopping 12 years ago. I usually keep at least one post from each of these blogs in my queue at all times to remind me to continue searching the blogs for fat positive content. I've had some posts in the queue of Fatphobia Busters for two years because I keep them as reminders for what blogs I need to search. For every post we share, I try to thoroughly look through the blog of the op for any other scraps of fat positivity I can queue. This is another reason why some posts stay in the queue for months or years. Since fat representation on this website is abysmal, I usually only put posts at the front of the queue that were either made by blogs I've already combed, blogs that still have posts in the queue so I can search those blogs a different day, or if the post was queued by Mod Squirrel. I don't have a lot of energy to search blogs, which is why those posts stay in the queue for so long. That's also why you may notice certain blogs being posted a lot for a period of time—they're blogs I'm safe to post without missing any content I could have queued.
Tumblr has a pretty terrible search function, and I've basically never been recommended a blog by Tumblr that actually posted fat representation. However, the one helpful function Tumblr has actually been good at is the similar posts section called "More like this," which looks like this on desktop:
It's to the right of whatever post you look at on a blog. On mobile, it looks like this:
I looked at the same post for both of these screenshots. In the "More like this" (or "More posts like this") section, Tumblr will usually include other posts by the user, posts by other blogs who interact with the user, posts with similar tags, etc. etc. For whatever reason, I'll sometimes be able to use this Tumblr function to find more fat representation. As an example, Tumblr showed me the same grayscale drawing of a fat person in both of these screenshots. That drawing was posted by an entirely different blog and with no tags related to fatness or fat positivity at all, but the "More like this" Tumblr function is the only time that Tumblr realizes "Oh, for the past five years of running and modding for fat positive blogs, you've actually wanted to see posts of fat people and not all of the posts of thin people I've suggested to you all this time?"
Sometimes I'll try my luck with certain fandoms when I know the media the fandom is for actually has a fat character or if I know that the fandom is somewhat size inclusive. There are times where an artist who draws the media's fat character also has fat OCs or draws other fat people. For instance, I'll probably have more luck finding artists who draw fat people in the Magnus Archives fandom than I will in a fandom for a media that's very fatphobic or pretends thinness is an art style, like Hazbin Hotel.
If I find a fat person who posts selfies or photography of themself, I'll look at their tags to try to decipher what tags they use for posting those photos. They may have a specific tag just for their photos, like "my face," or they may tag all of their photos with a tag like "ootd," "melanin," "cosplay," "black girl magic," "lolita," "jfashion," etc. It's also important to make sure not to share any posts that have tags like "do not reblog." If a post has the tag "personal," I'll usually either skip it or ask the user if they're okay with the post being reblogged. This is especially important for text posts about fatphobia since sometimes a person just wanted to vent and doesn't want their post to be shared. Whenever I'm in doubt, I write a reply on the post and ask the op if they're okay with me reblogging it.
On some occasions, I'll see the url or tags of someone on our posts that makes me think they may have more fat positive content. When that is the case, I'll queue posts that a follower made. Said posts are usually selfies or text posts. Sometimes this means queuing a post they made about a specific product they sell on Etsy that otherwise isn't accessible for fat people, or this could mean queueing a well-written rant that they've okayed for people to reblog.
That's basically the gist of most of my strategies I can think of. You can see that running and modding for fat positive blogs involves a lot of work and strategizing just to find content. But you can help make it easier. If you:
Tag your posts of fat representation with fat positive tags
Send posts you find of fat people to fat positive blogs
Tell artists who draw fat people to tag their art with fat positive tags
Ask artists who only draw thin people to make their art size inclusive
Make posts about fatphobia and tag those posts with tags like "fatphobia" to make them searchable
Or even just reblog posts from fat positive blogs to help spread them and encourage those OPs to keep representing fat people
By doing those things, you help us a lot and also help more fat people see themselves in the media they look at.
If you do tag your posts for this purpose, I strongly suggest using more than just tags like "body positivity." That tag on Tumblr is full of mostly porn, thin people, and celebrations of weight loss, so I've given up on looking at that tag at all and would assume many other fat positive blogs don't use that tag either.

Since we have an influx of people coming in from twitter and discussing the whole culture of retweets vs. reblogs between the two sites, I'm going to take a moment here for some
Queue Propaganda
First off, what is the queue?
It's a posting mechanic that you can customize for yourself so that rather than immediately reblogging something, you can arrange for it to be posted at a later time. Your queue on tumblr can fit up to 1000 posts! Wow!
Why would I want to do something like that?
There are lots of reasons! For me, I like the idea of having something that consistently posts throughout the day for my followers in different time zones. I also like to support artists by reblogging, but I don't want to spam their notifications all at once and create an impenetrable wall of reblogs from the same artist on my dashboard, and the queue allows me to distribute those reblogs over a longer period of time, basically giving said art a more extended period of circulation. The queue also has a 'shuffle' function, so if you have a whole bunch of reblogs from one person, you can 'shuffle' it with other items in your queue so your dash has a bit more variety. If you're an artist, you can also set up your blog to reblog your own works so that they can show up on feeds at a later time. It can also be useful if you're reuploading a bunch of your art from twitter onto here and maybe don't want to dump it all at once.
Do we have to have a queue?
You do not! You can come online and spam reblog a bunch of jackshit or whatever suits you! I just think it's a nice feature!
Is there queue etiquette?
Nothing heavily enforced, but a lot of people will use a queue tag (often something quirky and specific to their blog) to indicate when their blog is posting from their queue, which also doubles as a 'hey just because I'm posting doesn't mean I'm online' sort of message. Some people will have a silly queue-specific pun for their queue tag, and others will just tag their queue with 'q,' it's really up to personal taste. You can schedule as many or as few queue posts a day to suit your tastes.
What's up with the post scheduling? Is that the same thing?
It's in a similar category, but it's more specific. When you schedule a post, that's basically set at the time you set it to post at, regardless of what's in your queue. The post is visible in your queue, but it stays fixed at the date you scheduled for it, regardless of what you add to your queue or how many times you shuffle it. This is very useful if you have content or reblogs meant for specific events and holidays!
Okay but what is the general vibe around queues? Do people like or dislike when you queue their posts as opposed to immediately reblogging them?
A queue *is* a reblog. There is a bit of a joke with queue users on this site where it's like "I'll see if they like my post within 6-8 business days" but it really is a useful form of posting because it extends the sort of... digital shelf life of content. No one is insulted if they see you reblogged your post with a queue tag. A reblog is a reblog, regardless of what time it pops up on the dash. No pressure.

Hello, mods! I'm not looking for recommendations, just asking a question if you have the time to answer it: how do you keep track of all the fics you've read? There is a truly impressive and garguntuan amount of recs on this blog, and they are all tailored to each individual's ask. What is your process of recording and retrieving the information about each fic?---How do you know which fics to note down, and what do you note down about them? -Thank you for reading
Hi! I posted here about how i organise my extensive AO3 bookmarks to help me find and filter for fics I have already read.
Of course, not all the fics recommended on the blog are fics the mods will have personally read. When searching for fics outside of my usual reading range or things I just hadn't thought to search for the process is a bit different.
It always starts with tags. You can throw in a bunch of tags to filter on, but the more tags the fewer results. So sometimes I use only one or two tags, or swap around the tags I'm looking for. Excluding tags, too, if I'm looking for one thing and not another.
Depending on what's being requested it is often more useful to use the "search within results" function towards the bottom of the filter options. If it's something without a specific tag, or to search more broadly and not limit the search to the tags.
If the request is a very specific one or centred on a small detailed rather than a broader concept, it will often involve opening a fic and either giving it a skim read or ctrl+F to search the entire work for key words to discover if it includes the kind of scene I'm looking for.
Whether a fic is "good" or not is subjective, so I won't rule anything out if, for example, I personally don't like it. If I find an abundance of fics I will try to judge which ones fit the request more or which ones appeal to me the most--which ones I would want to read. (This is how my "to read" bookmarks are continuously growing and feels like a super perk of the job, honestly.)
And this is why it can sometimes take quite a long f*cking time to compile a list of fics for an ask. But I enjoy it, which is why I'm still doing it. I've re-watched series two about seven times now, just having it playing in the background while I'm searching for fics.
I've been so efficient recently, in fact, that the queue is looking very healthy. So we're going to up the number of posts published a day to two. There's still over 400 asks in the inbox, though, so it's still a wait of months for any asks to be published!

How to Block AI Bots from Scraping Your Website
The Silmarillion Writers' Guild just recently opened its draft AI policy for comment, and one thing people wanted was for us, if possible, to block AI bots from scraping the SWG website. Twelve hours ago, I had no idea if it was possible! But I spent a few hours today researching the subject, and the SWG site is now much more locked down against AI bots than it was this time yesterday.
I know I am not the only person with a website or blog or portfolio online that doesn't want their content being used to train AI. So I thought I'd put together what I learned today in hopes that it might help others.
First, two important points:
I am not an IT professional. I am a middle-school humanities teacher with degrees in psychology, teaching, and humanities. I'm self-taught where building and maintaining websites is concerned. In other words, I'm not an expert but simply passing on what I learned during my research today.
On that note, I can't help with troubleshooting on your own site or project. I wouldn't even have been able to do everything here on my own for the SWG, but thankfully my co-admin Russandol has much more tech knowledge than me and picked up where I got lost.
Step 1: Block AI Bots Using Robots.txt
If you don't even know what this is, start here:
About /robots.txt
How to write and submit a robots.txt file
If you know how to find (or create) the robots.txt file for your website, you're going to add the following lines of code to the file. (Source: DataDome, How ChatGPT & OpenAI Might Use Your Content, Now & in the Future)
User-agent: CCBot
Disallow: /
AND
User-agent: ChatGPT-User
Disallow: /
Step Two: Add HTTPS Headers/Meta Tags
Unfortunately, not all bots respond to robots.txt. Img2dataset is one that recently gained some notoriety when a site owner posted in its issue queue after the bot brought his site down, asking that the bot be opt-in or at least respect robots.txt. He received a rather rude reply from the img2dataset developer. It's covered in Vice's An AI Scraping Tool Is Overwhelming Websites with Traffic.
Img2dataset requires a header tag to keep it away. (Not surprisingly, this is often a more complicated task than updating a robots.txt file. I don't think that's accidental. This is where I got stuck today in working on my Drupal site.) The header tags are "noai" and "noimageai." These function like the more familiar "noindex" and "nofollow" meta tags. When Russa and I were researching this today, we did not find a lot of information on "noai" or "noimageai," so I suspect they are very new. We used the procedure for adding "noindex" or "nofollow" and swapped in "noai" and "noimageai," and it worked for us.
Header meta tags are the same strategy DeviantArt is using to allow artists to opt out of AI scraping; artist Aimee Cozza has more in What Is DeviantArt's New "noai" and "noimageai" Meta Tag and How to Install It. Aimee's blog also has directions for how to use this strategy on WordPress, SquareSpace, Weebly, and Wix sites.
In my research today, I discovered that some webhosts provide tools for adding this code to your header through a form on the site. Check your host's knowledge base to see if you have that option.
You can also use .htaccess or add the tag directly into the HTML in the <head> section. .htaccess makes sense if you want to use the "noai" and "noimageai" tag across your entire site. The HTML solution makes sense if you want to exclude AI crawlers from specific pages.
Here are some resources on how to do this for "noindex" and "nofollow"; just swap in "noai" and "noimageai":
HubSpot, Using Noindex, Nofollow HTML Metatags: How to Tell Google Not to Index a Page in Search (very comprehensive and covers both the .htaccess and HTML solutions)
Google Search Documentation, Block Search Indexing with noindex (both .htaccess and HTML)
AngryStudio, Add noindex and nofollow to Whole Website Using htaccess
Perficient, How to Implement a NoIndex Tag (HTML)
Finally, all of this is contingent on web scrapers following the rules and etiquette of the web. As we know, many do not. Sprinkled amid the many articles I read today on blocking AI scrapers were articles on how to override blocks when scraping the web.
This will also, I suspect, be something of a game of whack-a-mole. As the img2dataset case illustrates, the previous etiquette around robots.txt was ignored in favor of a more complicated opt-out, one that many site owners either won't be aware of or won't have time/skill to implement. I would not be surprised, as the "noai" and "noimageai" tags gain traction, to see bots demanding that site owners jump through a new, different, higher, and possibly fiery hoop in order to protect the content on their sites from AI scraping. These folks serve to make a lot of money off this, which doesn't inspire me with confidence that withholding our work from their grubby hands will be an endeavor that they make easy for us.

Hey, I recently got back into writing drarry. I never really found a community on here (or anywhere 😅) to share that writing with, get encouragement, maybe a beta or some help with difficult scenes - anything. Do you have any advice?
I have a very stressful work schedule, so being online/replying everyday is hard for me. Maybe that is necessary to find people?
Hi my friend! Thank you for reaching out! I'd apologize for my slowness in responding, but maybe that's a perfect answer to your question. The short answer is: you're welcome here, with whatever time you have to share. We all have robost lives offline, and some spend more and less time around online than others. You're welcome here, even when you can't be online every day or be as responsive as some other folks might be.
In terms of practical advice, here are a few thoughts:
join the large 18+ Drarry discord (invite here). You can find beta readers and cheerleaders there (that's where I found my first when I didn't know anyone). I also like "sprinting" (writing in short, timed bursts, while other people write their own projects) as a way to build a little bit of community. EDIT: new link here
Post on tumblr when you can -- you could put out a call for betas here too. I'd also just suggest interacting when you can, reblogging other people, asking when ask games come up, joining in for open tag games, whenever you see them. Of course, when you're on less frequently some of these will pass you by, and that's okay -- just do them when you can and when they feel like fun.
Don't be afraid to jump into someone's messages or askbox to say hello. Mine is always open, as long as you're okay with a snail's pace of responses. I know that can be intimidating, but people around here are generally very kind and welcoming, and willing to say hello to new people.
Comment on fics and art, if/when you have the spoons. It's a great way to become more visible with active authors -- you could also ask authors or artists or reccers about their published projects to start up a conversation.
Share your writing and your interests! Whether in snippets, or in little anecdotes, or by reblogging things that feel connected to it and saying so in the tags or comments. It's much easier for other folks to engage with *you* if they have something they can ask about!
A couple other little tips I have found useful as I've grown less active in the past months: don't feel like you need to apologize for inactivity -- we all have lives, use the queue function on tumblr to space out your posts during times when you're not as active, ask folks what they're working on & they'll often turn it back to you, at times when you have more time to spare, offer help to others and they'll often offer it back... and so on!
anyway, this is long and rambly, and I'm sure my followers have other ideas to share. please feel free to hop into my DMs to say hello too! welcome back <3

Mx. FicSex, thank you so much for your blog! I hope this is a kind a supportive ask and not a bugging one, but I've noticed that you post really sporadically, and I wondered if you've ever considered using the queue function, to space out your answers? That way, your blog could have more consistent content, and maybe you wouldn't have to post so often!
Hey anon - I do use the queue - that's why when there's a burst of content, you get two a day for a few days in a few, and not six answers all at once.
I have a full time job, two part time jobs, two community volunteer positions, a needs-a-bunch-of-work house, four partners, three cats, and a hell of a combo of anxiety, depression, and ADHD. I am not going to promise you that I'm "doing my best" at keeping up on this blog, because the truth is that this blog is my literal, absolute lowest priority item. I could space out the queue items more, and have just one post a day, but that wouldn't change much either.
Followers will just need to be okay with this being super sporadic, because that's not likely to change. Not being a butt-face here, I just want to be suuuuuper up-front. I love this blog, and I can't spend much more time on it than I do. But the time I do get to spend on it makes me really happy! And I hope it makes other people happy, too.
:)

So I recently discovered that I'm a system, had a whole panic attack during the switch and everything do to us fighting on fronting since I didn't really want to front and they didn't want to stop fronting but anywho I was just wondering if you had any advice on how to adjust myself accordingly to the fact that I have DID or just any general tips to living as a system?
Well i hope the fight won’t happen so often, as i prefer not to involve myself in a personal matter (i could guide you how to handle it better). Though, I’ll still help you on what to do after discovering being a system! I think i ever wrote a list somewhere, hm..
right here! This will route you to my archive although. This one is a small list on what you can do after discovering being a system.
Now, the things you should know are:
Being a system, sometimes when still new, will see each and every part as a whole different person. While this is true to some extent, it is not completely, as you are your own different facets. The easiest way to explain this is how singlets have the social side, the working side, and etc,, though disconnected for us, systems. Sometimes i see other systems drifting further due to the fact were "different people" and that can worsen barriers.
Things can get messy without organization, so, brainstorm some ideas such as creating a front queue, designated item spots to search easier if you need things irl, get some app or notepad to jot down the timeline of the days if you have bad amnesia/time blindness. Theres many things you can think if it's about organizing.
Read more articles, see more experiences from other systems, talk to more (i can be your sys friend if you need) plural buddies. They can serve many things from validating your unique experiences, make sense of things, and discover new stuffs.
Lastly, that it is not easy living as a system, and that it takes hardwork to become functional. You have to anticipate many traumas to work with, and many triggers and other unfinished business you may find. And i can be there for ya. Take everything SLOWLY, one step at a time.
You may reach out to my DMs for future help, i'll definitely remember you, good luck!

- I managed to log out of tumblr for a grand 24 hours or so. I wish I could say it made me more productive, but I tend to just look at reddit instead. To my credit I did do some reading before bed in place of scrolling, and actually attempted to work on my CV today... before the program crashed and everything was lost 🙄
- I finally bought a new phone, after my old one had gotten to a truly unendurable level of dysfunction (I told myself I simply could not go to job interviews with such a device, which for the past few months has been held together with tape and good fortune, taking at least five attempts to coax the screen on, refusing to run even two apps at once, and freezing at a rate the polar ice caps would envy...) The only benefit of waiting so long is that the regardless of what model I acquire, I'm always blown away by the most basic functionality, much less whatever technological advances have manifested in the past couple years (I am pleased this thing takes tolerable photos in low(er) light though).
- Today I met up with a new language exchange buddy I met while volunteering for the LGBT nonprofit. She picked a cafe I'd coincidentally been recommended by someone else because they used to host linocut classes (indeed the walls were full of interesting art). The reviews, though, suggested the baristas had an attitude, and thus I was a little apprehensive when the door was affixed with multiple signs proclaiming "Full, do not come in" in Chinese (my acquaintance had already staked out a table inside). I sustained some dubious looks upon entry before hastily explaining I was here to meet someone. I am quite sure the exorbitant price for a tiny sandwich was more of a fee for enjoying the atmosphere (and being graced with the presence of the intimidatingly aloof, attractive staff) than a reflection of the ingredients...
- Of course the one day I didn't bring an umbrella it started pouring as I was on the train, and while in theory I knew there was some sort of underground bookstore near Zhongshan Station, I'd never actually been in there, nor known how far the complex extended- it's huge! I was able to pop out of an exit quite near the café and make a swift dash for it. Later on I decided to go for a walk before getting on at a farther stop, and was treated to the sight of a middle aged man dressed all in black with a long ponytail and the wispiest of pompadours still arising proudly from his scalp mount a ludicrously large cruiser and rev it, the very picture of washed up motorcycle gangster...
- In totally unrelated news, the avocado pit I have been trying to sprout has put forth a root 🎉
- I may try to log out of tumblr more often, but never fear, the queue will go on for months even if I meet an untimely end crossing the road or something (as one does in Taiwan).
#to be fair it was a tolerable sandwich i just expected more of it#i need to go back to the Zhongshan underworld now#this language exchange was actually really fruitful cause i got some proper correction of my terrible tones#she was not afraid to go huh??? what are you trying to say?? at me

three now unshakeable Sev headcanons
1. Sev was the other trainee Atin refused to fight
Sev being so defensive of Vau in Atin's face purely on the basis that Sev still holds Vau in some kind of godlike reverence and fears his wrath never seemed quite adequate to me. But young Atin ""sparing"" Sev and nearly dying for it, when Sev didn't ask for it? That could explain why he's so uncharacteristically bolshy with Atin later, like he's begging for that fight he never got, to prove he's better than Atin's pity.
It gets better if you then assume Vau ended the exercise there and didn't continue sadistically sparring with his cadets, specifically with Sev, being next in the grisly queue. So when it comes up years later, and Vau's casually like "oh, I just had no interest in cutting you up, Oh-Seven" (read: you're one of my favorites), Sev's too self-critical to see it for anything but contempt.
subthought the second, a Sevfika one, related to Atin encounter: Fi jumping to Atin's defense is, imo, one of the first things that intrigues Sev about Fi: it's a show a brotherly concern that I don't think Sev is used to. Not that Delta doesn't care about each other, but they aren't as affectionate or emotionally open, and standing up for each other was probably kicked out of them as kids (it'd be an acknowledgement that you think your brother needs help, can't take care of himself, maybe). Sev's brothers 'stand up for him' by hyping him up as a psycho and enabling his bad habits because that's what keeps him functional and in the game, but Sev might wonder -- as they all might -- if they actually care (maybe with the exception of Scorch, but even Scorch often passes stuff off as a joke.)
this gets longish and shippy so, onto the cut!
2. Sev had an inexpressable crush on Vau
Look, it's just Sev's praise kink with a face. It's the "coach/jock" mlm erotica trope. It adds some color to Sev's perverse desire to please: he wants to be seen in the "right" way, to hide how wrongfuckedup he is -- even if he isn't conscious of what a 'crush' is or that he has one, or even if his flare-ups of attraction get sublimated so hard into his pockets of perfectionism.
And it's why he's so goddamn tetchy with Fi: Fi brings out those old, undefinable feelings that Sev worked so hard to bury, not because anyone told Sev they were wrong, he just knows he'd get cut up for getting cut over stray thoughts related to his training sergeant. (or, Tada! plausible gaynst in the GFFA.) Childhood trauma and anxiety being what they are ... it'd be hard for Sev to lightly unpack those feelings again, especially around someone as mad, bad, and dangerous to know as Fi. As Slipper put it, Sev "externalizes the problem to Fi's behavior."
3. Sev has abandonment issues
Setting aside any unique feelings Sev does or doesn't harbor for Vau, in True Colors it's impossible to miss that Sev is the one most torn up about Delta's decision (on orders) to leave Vau behind on Mygeeto.
Until Vau is recovered, Sev's POV is outspoken in his dread about his sergeant: if he's okay, if he'll be mad, what he'll do to Sev them if he makes it off Mygeeto alive. It's intrusive, it's overwhelming, it's unreasonable. In his first POV chapter, in the narrative space of about five minutes, Sev reminds the squad twice and himself a third time that they never leave a man behind, until it starts sounding less like a reminder or a compulsive reaction to anxiety and more like a plea: you guys wouldn't leave me, right? you'd never do that. please tell me you'd never leave me, 'cause I'd never leave you and I'm telling you now in the only roundabout way I know how. (see: earlier comment about Delta's comparative emotional distance.) Of course, we all know what the tragic irony here is.
another Sevfika subthought: Sev's abandonment fears are probably subconsciously soothed by the persistence of someone like Fi. Fi may be everything Sev tells himself he doesn't want to be at first … but the idea of someone who will never leave him alone, who will bother him beyond the grave, is secretly comforting.
Bonus #4: Sev is a smoker: entirely @kungfuslipper's doing and yes, it's unhealthyhot, but he came out swinging like an adult survivor of pre-pubescent acute laryngitis in the games, so why not give him a chainsmoking habit to go with that barbed wire personality.

hi there! I'm relatively new(ish) to tumblr and was looking to make my own "bot" via a long queue, and was wondering if you could give me any tips? I'm not super familiar with the queue system, so any advice you can give me would be good! Thank you!
hello, anon!! welcome to tumblr!
(interloper)
it's an honor to be your tutorial npc :D i will do my best to walk you through the "bot"-making process/queue system!
first of all: this is how many posts are currently in this blog's queue.
[ID: Screenshot showing "Queue: 924". End ID.]
this is a kind of insane amount. i believe i started this bot with....700 posts in the queue? and then just kinda kept adding on more? a lot will depend on how often you want your bot to post. at the current number of posts in my queue and the current schedule of 4 posts a day, it could run for 231 more days without running out of quotes! if i bumped it down to twice a day, it could run for over a year!
what i'd probably recommend doing is adding posts in batches of, like, 20 at a time, and keeping the post amount low until you get up to a number where you feel okay just letting it run for a while without adding anything new. then just put new stuff in whenever you want!
but how do you do the "adding stuff in" part? great question! this is the part where we segway into the mechanics of the queue! this is also the part where i put a readmore because hoo BOY this got long. i am prone to overexplaining lmao
tl;dr: find the queue, make the posts, set times for posting and amount of posts per day, use mass tag editor to do tags, and shuffle queue!
the queue is one of tumblr's most special functions, imo. it will automatically put out a certain amount of posts every day between certain hours-- basically like scheduling tweets, except that the site schedules them for you! some people on tumblr actually queue basically every post they see rather than reblog it-- i call them "queuetuals" :P
Step 1: find the queue
so! first you go to your blog controls, where you can view posts and follower counts from, and then look down. under "drafts" is a section called "queue". hit that, it'll take you here.
[ID: The Tumblr "queue" page. Up at the top is a text box that reads "The queue lets you stagger posts over a period of hours or days. It's an easy way to keep your blog active and consistent.
Automatically publish a queued post (dropbox with 4 selected) times a day between (dropbox with 12 am selected) and (dropbox with 12 am selected)
Timezone: US/Eastern (change)
Note: This timezone only affects the queue schedule, as well as timestamps on custom themes.
The publish times on posts below are displayed in your local timezone." It then shows a Shuffle Queue button and the icon of this blog next to the icons and text for making text, photo, quote, link, chat audio, and video posts. End ID.]
FUN FACT: hitting the text (or whatever kind of post it is you want to make) button from here will automatically set the button that usually says "post now" to "add to queue" instead. i found this out like halfway into making all these posts and it was so helpful to not have to make the switch manually every time. i now pass this knowledge on to you, my protege. use it in good faith. okay where were we
Step 2: make the posts
right. okay . so you hit button you make post you hit other button (make sure it does say "add to queue") and it will automatically be put in your queue!
[ID: A drafted post from songder-bot reading "i'd like to take you through a wasteland i like to call my home!", with no tags and the post button set to "add to queue". End ID.]
now just do that like 100 more times and you're set :) (highly recommend, if you're going to be making a text bot like this, writing all the stuff you want to put in down in a text file so you can just copypaste over. i write new lyrics like the above in manually, but i was copypasting for my first couple big chunks)
you can also see up there the places to adjust when and how often your "bot" posts! i have it set to between 12 and 12 so it just posts day-round, but if you want to set it to only post while you're awake or only while you're asleep, that's cool (i did do that for a bit)
from this screen down you'll be able to see what's coming up next in the queue and at what times it'll post!
Step 3: tags and shuffling!
while i was insane enough to manually input over 700 posts in a few days, i was not insane enough to tag them all individually. for that, i used the Mass Post Editor!
found at the very bottom of the list that posts, followers, queue, etc. is on is a little item called Mass Post Editor. this is one of tumblr's other most helpful functions and i truly cannot recommend it enough.
so once i've gotten all the lyrics from a song that i want to get in there, i go in to MPE. up at the top it says "published, draft, queued". go to queued, i select all the quotes from the song i just put in:
[ID: A screenshot of the Mass Post Editor with several posts selected. End ID.]
i go up top, i select "add tags", and i add the tags i want for those posts! boom! mass tagging: SOLVED.
i will add here that the reason my tags are stuff like "lyric - green day" rather than just "green day" is because i don't want these posts to go directly into the main tag. especially if the bot posts often, it'd be pretty spammy and kind of annoying for people trying to look at posts about green day to have to keep seeing random green day lyrics instead. tag etiquette is important!
and the last tip i will give (i promise) is this: remember that screenshot from earlier and the shuffle queue button? whenever you add in new posts to your bot, especially if they're all from the same song or book or something, make sure to hit the shuffle queue! queueing something automatically puts it at the end of the queue, and shuffling ensures that your new posts are equally distributed and can come up whenever!
hope this was helpful!!! i love explaining stuff but also get very very wordy at times, so if you need a tl;dr version or further explanation of something let me know! oh-- and if you're gonna do quotes, lyrics, art, or anything at all, always credit the original creators!
#not bot#:D!!!#this was genuinely SO fun for me tysm#tumblr tutorial#< that is an example of *wanting* a post to go in main tags lmao#also yes i did add welcome to paradise just for this ask#and yes i chose that song specifically because i think of it whenever tumblr gets an influx of new people

The way that you reblog posts a week later makes me feel insaaaane.
Oh.. I'm sorry! I use the queue function more often than a straight-up reblog so that it's staggered neatly, and I've been finding a lot of posts that I want on my blog lately as I've been sick with not else much to do than idly scroll Tumblr - if you, or anybody else reading this wishes me not to, you can message me so that I know your URL, and I'll make sure reblog them from you naturally instead of queueing, alright? I'm sorry for that ;_;

Pinned post time wooo!~
(*due to severe health issues, most of my social media has been inactive since December. I hope to be more active soon. thank you for sticking with me through these constant health struggles, moots ♡!)
Welcome to my blog! It's mostly just a huge mix of things I like.
While this blog only dates back to February 2023, I've actually been active on Tumblr since around 2011. I no longer have access to any of my previous blogs.
I try and keep this blog organized for my own use. There are a lot of tags that are used just for myself.
Sometimes I tag things over excessively or scarcely at best. It depends on how I feel at the time.
Also, my blog is on a queue 90% of the time. 50 posts are published automatically every day between 11 AM to 9 PM EST.
Some of my tags are nonsense, and I might add more of them to this post as time goes on, but for now here is a small list of the tags that I use:
#personal space post = if I uploaded the post to the site, it is tagged with this. regardless of what it is about. if i posted it, it has this tag.
#that's not very moe.txt = THIS TAG IS MY PRIVATE TAG FOR THINGS UNRELATED TO ANIME!
#novvas_infinite_playlist.mp3 = hope you like Japanese hyperpop, because while this tag is still fairly new and mostly barren, that is the fate it will someday see. (read: the tag is related to my strange music taste)
Before I continue, I'd like to go ahead and say: I'm big on shipping.
I don't judge others for what they ship/write/draw/create for any reason. I also don't care to inject real life morals into fiction.
If you are against that in ANY way, leave. Block me. Either.
I will block any hate or hostility on site that I see when it comes to my own interests.
I also block minors indiscriminately.
If I even THINK you're underage, I'm blocking you.
This is just because I reblog soft NSFW pretty often and don't want to expose anybody to anything.
I withhold the right to block or decide not to follow back at any point.
I curate my internet experience VERY carefully; it's never intended to be personal!
My only other ick: tag lizards properly :) please for the love of everything. i make use of the blacklist tag function for a reason.
So yeah: No assholes about fiction, no underaged people, no *reptiles. that's about it. *untagged. tag em and you may reptile party it up!
For more about me, hiya! My name is Novva! I'm an adult in my late 20s. I'm FTM, if that matters. If it does, please block me;;.
I'm a life-long medical disaster otaku.
I've been bedridden a lot of my life and because of this health cycle, so I'm a bit of a homebody.
My hobbies include journaling, housework (I genuinely like doing housework, yes!), tending to the outdoor greenhouse, adoring my cats, reading novels (mostly YA and fantasy), and an anime hyper-fixation that rivals any other person I've ever been friends with.
I've been obsessed with (specifically) anime for as long as I can remember.
I have an older sibling that's a decade older than me who was heavily into comics and games during their childhood, and because of them, I naturally took an interest of my own. Sailor Moon and Robotech were both things I vividly remember watching, even though I was barely sentient at that point. Toonami was a huge part of my childhood after that as well, along with being involved in 2000s AMV culture and forums.
Despite how many years have gone by, I have never let up on my interest in animation.
I read less manga than I used to, and I absolutely play way fewer games than I used to, but I think my love of this specific medium will always remain my number one passion in life.
This hyper-fixation of mine leads to my favorite hobby, merch collecting!
Anime merch collecting is a huge passion for me.
Turning my room into a head-to-toe comfort space that my childhood self would die for is my number one passion!~
I post my itabeya sometimes, but not as often anymore due to theft issues;;; please don't repost photos of my bedroom, that's lowkey weird.
My only other public account is MAL which you can find here: IbukiFuuko
Feel free to send me a friend request if you'd like.
I should add though, my list isn't currently set to public.
I have a few things I watched when I was younger that I barely remember that are sitting unscored on my list that I want to rewatch before giving a final score to. After that, I will open it to the public!
Speaking of Ibuki Fuuko, SHE'S MY #1 BELOVED WAIFU!
I adore her and have since I was a child.
I go hard for this little weirdo, as you can see here.
IF YOU LOVE CLANNAD, OR ANYTHING KEY HAS MADE FOR THAT MATTER, LET'S TOTALLY BE FRIENDS!!!

Hi everyone! My name is SASHA ( pronouns they / them / theirs ) and I am 28 years old. Welcome to my new baby from an animanga I grew up being quite obsessed with. Gunwoo is an original character inspired by the movie/series Big Hero Six, as well as Air Gear and SK8 the Infinity. He's kind of a middle ground between all three, and can easily be cross-fandom. He's someone I'm honestly super duper excited to write for, and cannot wait for everyone to meet him! But first things first, let's get on to a few guidelines and the like.
This blog is going to be not safe for work. Though there might not necessarily be heavy gore, there might be suggestive content but it's unlikely. If can find all of the suggestive content under THIS TAG HERE if you want to blacklist it. If this is something that makes you uncomfortable you're more than welcome to softblock/hardblock me as well. There will be no love lost about it - you need to make yourself comfortable first and foremost.
A lot of this page is going to function on a permanent state of med/low activity. Gunwoo isn't a priority page for me, even if I do adore him very much. I'll do my best to be here as often as I can but please just understand this. A lot of my replies will probably end up being put in a queue.
All of the graphics done are mine as well as my (terrible terrible) carrd. I do not like using carrd, but I had an old one lying around I decided to semi-revamp for Gunwoo's use. I really did do my best but it's kinda glitchy oop. All the PSD's you see, from the colorings to the icon, are all done by myself. I do not own the original images, those all belong to Jeon Jungkook and Air Gear.
I do have a Discord for plotting purposes and, as long as we are mutuals, you are more than welcome to ask for it and I will gladly give it out! I'm also very promo/ask meme focused and will most likely not do starter calls and/or open starters. It's just not my style, especially considering the fact that this page will not have a huge amount of activity.
Otherwise, I think ... that's pretty much it! I'm so excited to be here with everyone and cannot wait to get things start with the bunny boy.
