My magnum opus

Big steps are scary, but not moving forward is scarier u.u

So I've been sitting on this post for a little while now, I had planned to post it a few days ago but then I crashed for a nap and woke up to the news of LO ending so wound up using that as another excuse LOL

The last few months have been, to put it lightly, brutal. It's not that anything has happened, it's more like nothing is happening - the usual slow season in tattooing has been especially long, with especially less clients coming through the door, so while it's given me loads of free time to prepare for my conventions and work on other projects, it also means I'm not making as much as I'd usually make. And what I usually make is typically what supports everything I do here.

This has basically been me for the last half a year:

(riding it out, just riiiding it out, whoof)

I'm very fortunate to have a job that satisfies my dream of making a living off art, controlling my own schedule, and making money doing it to boot - but the caveat to it all is that it's a luxury service that relies on the economy around me doing well, and the economy around me right now is very much NOT doing well. I'm also very fortunate that my savings are capable of supporting me, but that's all they are, savings - if I'm not making anything, they'll burn up eventually. I'm not sure how physically capable I would be of going back into retail / food service, and it's honestly just not something I want to do after coming this far as a tattoo artist.

I've also learned how valuable and necessary collaboration is during projects like these. Not just to supplement the quality of the work itself, but to supplement the working experience as a whole. Working with an assistant has been an eye-opening experience in that regard.

When I set out to make this account, it was for the purpose of LO shitposting, edits, essays, and nothing much more than that. I wanted to keep it separate for the sake of my mental health and for the sake of my separate audiences, because when I started here, it just... wasn't a popular opinion in the slightest to have opinions about LO and comics like it outside of the positive norm. I had a lot of fear for a long time built up in my head over it, but as time has gone on, I've fortunately had mostly positive experiences and even when they aren't positive... I've proven to myself that I'm capable of moving forward through it all with my head held high and that these scary experiences aren't as scary as they tend to seem in my head. That's really just the funny thing about fear over any sort of 'risky' endeavor.

That said, I've also branched out a lot more from this blog's original purpose. I've talked about the process of making webcomics, Webtoons as a platform, offered alternatives to creators seeking refuge from the more corporate platforms, given out writing and art advice, discussed topics concerning Greek myth, shared my own original works, and basically just naturally progressed into talking about and doing other things because LO will end eventually and I don't want to restrict myself to talking about the same comic forever LOL

This is a crossroads that I've been at for a few months now. And I know nothing will change unless I take a step forward. It might wind up not being in the right direction in the end, but it's forward, and that's all that really matters to me, because staying in the same place forever isn't good for anyone.

So, I guess I'm gonna stop yapping and just show y'all what I've been working on! I brought this up in a Twitch stream the other day and people in the chat were all very supportive and optimistic, so I'm hoping those of you who follow me here will be too ╭( ･ㅂ･)و (and if not, well, you can kick my ass in my inbox later LOL)

I've applied for my genericpuff account on Twitch to become an Affiliate channel and am just waiting on the approval process. Assuming everything goes through well enough, y'all will be able to subscribe to my channel or support it with bits. If I do get approved I'll be doing a rehaul of the channel design and offering some fun lil' goodies for the chat, and I'll be trying to stream at least twice a week.

So please go follow my Twitch account if you haven't yet! It's the best way to get early sneak peeks of Rekindled, as I'm usually working on new episodes, but we're usually also chatting about LO, webtoons related stuff, and other fun topics ٩(｡•ω•｡)و

But now for the biggest new addition - I've started a Patreon account specifically for my genericpuff stuff ! Normally I would redirect anyone who asked to my main Patreon, but it's not as active nowadays simply due to my original projects being on hiatus. And it's not exactly the best space to share any bonus goodies related to my genericpuff account.

That said, I want to make it clear that I will still be putting limitations on what I offer on this page. Anything related to early access sneak peeks will still be free for all. This will be a glorified tip jar first and foremost, most of what I will be offering as bonus goodies and incentives will be stuff like time lapses of pages, art tutorials, original character designs, critique requests, early access adoptables, deleted scenes, etc.

Basically it'll be stuff that I'm already making (or want to make) but will be exclusive to patrons that won't be tied exclusively to the reading experience of Rekindled. The comic will always be free to read, not just because of the legal stipulations of it being a fan project, but because I want it to be.

Alternatively, if you want to access the stuff I have planned for my original work that I will be posting as early access to my Patreon once it rolls out, you can support that Patreon here!

From the bottom of my heart, thank you all so much for supporting what I do here, in all of its niche craziness. Building this little community over the past year has been life-changing, and I don't say that lightly. I've worked very hard to maintain what I'm doing here, and I'm going to continue doing so - it's a privilege to write and draw for you all week after week, and I appreciate any and all support you can give so I can keep managing what I do.

And if you can't, that's okay! The best way you can support my work is to read it, share it, and engage with it! Remember that reblogs will always be more beneficial than likes, and please don't ever be afraid to pop in to our streams or into our Discord to say hello! It would be a joy to have you ( ´ ∀ `)ノ～ ♡

Thank you all so much. This has been a big barrier to overcome on a mental level, my anxiety is through the ROOF right now, but I'm so grateful and glad I have such a wonderful circle of readers, community members, and friends who have offered their reassurance through this slow season and process of seeking support. Whether or not this is a step in the right direction, it's at least forward <3 And whatever comes of it, we'll see. But I'll be riding it out all the same ~

Ok since this blog is kinda getting alot of attention i'll just make a pinned post about a little bit of myself

Heyy! i'm Soren!

He/Him

You can call me zarou or dra

I am bilingual but im more comfortable speaking in english (still bad at it actually)

i really like cybercore,webcore,warcore aesthetic it may not look like it right now but expect a whole bunch of techcore designs soon

Oh and i am also a huge fan of astronomy,space and all of that sort. Along with post apocalyptic settings,body horror elements and eldritch beings.

Using my art as PFPs/Banners is okay! As long as you give proper credit! But reuploading my works without my permission or claiming them as your own is NOT okay. I will find you and i will hunt you down and turn you into a helpless flopping fish gasping for air.

Inspirations is ok too!! But please do not directly copy from the original work.

!! DISCLAIMER !! Btw please read this before following my blog!! There would be gore,body horror,dark themes and even some suggestive themes Sometimes but overall i do not post any explicit nsfw here !! (they can be filtered through tags but just putting this here as a heads up)

my DNI are basically the general DNI: proshippers,homophobes,etc. you know, the general

my interest varies but i currently hyperfixtate on these fandoms so far:

Rainworld

Marikinonline4

Animator vs Animation/Animation vs Minecraft

Warrior cats

My Rainworld AU tags:

#rw voided au - simple AU about iterators called voideds who drains void fluids out of other iterators, theres also some rot infection going on too

#rw disarray au/SYSTEM FAILURE - a virus in Lttm's code had created a fatal error in her system which caused her to slowly spiral into insanity as she would slowly loosen her grip onto reality, claiming that she had found the solution to their problem..but was it really the answer all along?

#rw nyaworld au - joke au about the entire rainworld cast taking place in the 2000's this one is purely just for nostalgia purposes #into the sigverse - technically considered an au. this is just a silly little askblog about different versions of NSH interacting because for some reason they can now magically interact with different alternate universe versions of themselves. ocs being used to interact is allowed to!! anyone can use this tag however they please you don't have to send me asks to be a part of the sigverse

MORE IMPORTANT INFO BELOW! ↓

(quite a lengthy read but pls bear with me...!! XoX)

account rules (last updated 04.14.23)

i hope these won't really be too much of an issue or actually happen going forward..!!! but i still need to lay these down just in case

BASIC STUFF

proshippers/comshippers pleaaase stay away from this blog!

please DON'T be heavily inspired by my artwork; vague inspiration (like making trini's hair curlier or giving them bandaids like my designs!!) are suuuper okay and i'd even love for u to tag me in that! but don't outright copy my artwork (see nitty-grid stuff for more details)

please DON'T steal my artwork and pass them off as your own

please DON'T repost my artwork on other platforms like pinterest or twitter

please DON'T make edits to my artwork

artwork usage is OKAY if you ever want to use them, however please give credit, i also appreciate if u asked first!

i block freely!

i find everyone in the HN fandom very cool so dont be afraid to interact ^_^!

NITTY-GRIDDY STUFF

some much more specific more personal boundaries here:

if you are planning to be inspired by my artstyle please DON'T make artwork of any ships that make me uncomfortable or honestly just anything weird because i dont want my art in any shape or form associated with it.

that being said, i am only uncomfortable with two ships; being maritza x nicky and player (nicky) x neighbor (mr. peterson) (<- i block these shippers only!) maritza x nicky shippers are free to interact and follow idc

tricky (nicky x trinity) is my comfort ship, and therefore i'll be very attached to it. if you don't find yourself liking tricky or finding them to be a platonic pairing thats SO ALRIGHT!! I RESPECT THAT!! U ARE STILL COOL SO FEEL FREE TO INTERACT but please PLEAAASE DON'T tell me that 😭😭 i mean i wont get angry i'll just be a bit sad, and even more uncomfortable if you tell me they're familial.

ok thats all!!! if uhhh u finished reading all of this then @nonbinary-hatkid sucks

please note that this is a pre-s2 masterpost; new one can be found here.

contrary to popular belief i am actually capable of writing up genuine theories about s2, but they are still wonderfully feral and unhinged in both tone and nature, so voila welcome to ✨rhi's crackpot speculation/meta masterpost✨ featuring some very special guests that are way more insightful and clever than me

note: contains spoilers

d-day edit: lmao let's sort this shitpit out🍲

old post-s2/s3-relevant metas etc but they didn't make it to the final cut of the new masterpost:

BIT NERVOUS about this being linked but fuck it, i didn't like the first two eps INITIALLY but in my defence i learnt the error of my ways and consider it to have been prime's fault

thoughts on s3 in the immediate aftermath

i heard you calling from across the ether for some whump material so i wrote some

also i meta-girlbossed a bit too close to the sun with recontextualising the lion/adam/eve parallels in s1e1 now that we know what we know about aziraphale and crowley pre-fall

someone shared their opinion about the playlists with me then i blacked out and when i came to there was meta

i got big feelings™ about the argument clip in that aziraphale is honestly just a nice man doing his fucking best (not a prediction but just a wee rant)

s2 live commentaries bc im sorry reading these back is GOLD:

episode 1/2 (lumped together bc i went to a screening) (also neil liked this and i feel exposed the poor guy had to read this??? over all the other somewhat intelligent stuff on my blog??? this is what he went for???? man's WILD ✨)

episode 3

episode 4

episode 5

episode 6 (lmao)

and then basically anything else, mostly all pre-s2 so have a read and laugh at me, it's ok honest

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

this one made me tear up a bit because i live on a diet of bagels and aziraphale/crowley biblical whump material LMAO AM I APOLLO????

(as amended) the one where my entire theory on aziraphale and crowley's angst for s2 is predicted based on the length of his ridiculous (see: delicious) sideburns

an earlier musing on the plot of like the first three episodes (fuck it let's be real i'm just blueprinting a fanfic in this post)

by all accounts crowley is not, in fact, james bond

the second coming gets fucked up bc gabriel is a pussy ass bitch

✨✨SDCC/NYC✨✨ people pls read this and talk to me about it bc I'm losing it everyone else just shh and read silently for a minute ill get to you in a sec okay id still love to know what happened at the sdcc screening but i went to my own one in the uk and what i saw has done nothing to dissuade me from this theory im sorry

lol haven't updated this post in a hot minute but this is the SMOOCHY prediction

i told y'all crowley was getting hit by the cozzy livs and now my boy has to work in a pub, liz truss i hope ur happy

if i must suffer then you must suffer also thems the rules

✨✨live feed of my breakdown over the episode titles✨✨

a wee romantic shitpost about ep5 but im adding it in here for posterity bc if this does happen im going to simply decease

this was birthed from the above but with ep2(?) spoiler context

IS GOOB JESUS?????

i have a sinking feeling that crowley may be a double agent and honestly that's not very james bond of him

segue from the above, someone really cleverly came up with the thought after the wanted posters that crowley is involved in hell descending on the bookshop to get gabriel and was rewarded with duke of hell (hence the art of him on a throne) and i latched on like a fucking barnacle

I cry

(also as amended lmao) my rhetoric on how unequipped aziraphale is to handle intense gay panic god bless this mess this lil funky dude

i have now done so many speculation posts about the 40s that it feels like groundhog day but if prime insist on feeding me 40s content then that's their own damn fault (but this one is the most recent and where I'm currently at so read this one first)

(older) a tinfoil hat inspection of anything related to ww2!husbands, magician aziraphale, and the Dinner of '41

(older again) extended-Dinner of '41 analysis in the context of s1e3

once upon a time aziraphale and crowley fucked up the ineffable plan by not getting together in 1941 and god wasn't happy about it and everything went tits up, the end

a simple humble commentary on how the trailer was put together and a warning to not trust a single thing prime tells us

okay it's not s2 related but i had a bit of wine and a small heartbreak over their first meeting in the beginning and now any other method of therapy is redundant

and last but certainly not least (not for the moment anyway, there's a few more feet to descend before we truly scrape the bottom of the unholy barrel that is my psyche) we encounter the deranged, manic, unbalanced and frankly disturbed commentary i birthed in response to The Spoiler

enjoy, my boos ✨

Hello! Welcome to my treasure trove of random =D

I post every now and then but if you want to see my actual art just search in my blog the "#Chance does doodles" I don't mind requests or asks but please do not be mean. also the art program I use is sketchbook if your wondering ^^

This is a fully safe-for-work blog so you don't have to worry about that and I mainly do ut/dr art ^^

Just as extra I prefer to go by they/them pronouns and would really like it if you don't go assume anyone's gender at all, whether fictional or not please..!

My old art that was when I was starting and testing my art style is tagged "#my old art". . .Not sure why you would want to look at that but go for it

I also have a YouTube channel where I make playlists and occasionally upload OST's (rarely), you can find it by searching "ChanceTried" or using the link

Btw you should check out @alliyazhya @spyret-the-shitposter @nopanfakemix2 @mnwary @squidpedia and @skylerfurmaniac-deactivated / @skylerfurmaniac @minneedssleep they are my close mutuals and do art too!!

TLDR:

this is a safe blog, period (no nsfw, no discrimination, no nothin' like that)

I post deltarune and undertale stuff mostly

be respectful, don't misgender, don't discriminate, remember theres people behind the screen and be nice to them because we are all our own person. =]

Also I use they/them pronouns ^^

I do art basically 2 times a week and post a few reblogs, my tag is "#Chance does doodles"

⬇️

I wouldn’t always be complaining about people being annoying in my notes if we had a handy little feature that allowed me to filter notes to:

Blogs who follow me on their main blog

Blogs that I follow

And/Or Blogs that are mutuals

That’s all I want to see. You could post the dumbest most annoying or infuriating additions to my posts all you want if I just had the ability to look at the tags and additions and replies from the people I actually care about without having to see all the garbage.

I use this dumb website(app) to post about the dumb shit I like, to reblog art of stuff I like, to interact with communities of people who post about stuff I like, and to make and reblog shitposts. But the interacting part is hard to do without looking in your notes, and every time I look in there I also have to see dumb comments that range to mildly annoying (because I’m a petty bitch who has strong opinions on inconsequential shit like “how people should be using this website to be less annoying to others”) all the way to actually frustrating and godawful takes.

Idk maybe it’s a skill issue. Maybe I should block everyone or just nuke my blog and make a new one that only the people I want to hear from know about. I know several of my friends have done that with mild success. But I don’t want to lose access to all the posts on here that I can’t search for without using external tools

And don’t tell me that there’s some plugin or something that does exactly what I want that is super easy to install on Firefox even on your phone. I’m one of the assholes who is stuck using an iPhone and none of that shit works. I basically only blog on my phone. I am in a perfectly constructed scenario built to make this frustrating for me specifically

Welcome~

I'm Dicenete, an illustrator and currently studying programming and coding to have a second job on the side and maybe combine my art somehow with it. An animation enthusiast, a serial hyperfixator and a friendly neighborhood renessaince goblin. I have no time to follow trends or hypes.

🔞 Alt Blog: 🔞 @dicegoblinstreasures 🔞 Mostly me just reblogging stuff I love, rambling without coherent theme, shitposting etc.

You can find me on: Ko-Fi || first place for posting art and updates for commissions. Also exclusive sketches, studies, timelapses, resources monthly supporters. I try to be as consistent as I can be. Deviant Art || Mostly finished pieces of art. Artfol || I try to post more art and free sketches here! Instagram || Mostly finished pieces of art.

About Commissions! (under the cut) (Detailed info on Commissions)

Fully fledged Commissions If you are interested on commission by me, then you can fill out this inquiry form! (base prices are visible in the form) There might be a queue but I will inform you when the next available slot is! (You can check my Ko-Fi to see when the next available slot is, in the Tip Jar panel) Currently I take 1-2 commissions per month because I'm studying on the side. (If you dm me about commissions, I will still redirect you to the commission inquiry form. Because I don't want to get scammed and those dms happened to much on IG that I got tired. :P) Ko-Fi Commissions I sometimes open commission slots through my Ko-Fi! These commissions are smaller in scale and don't take too much of my time. These do not include variations and I do not send you WIP pics. Basically give me the description and references of what you want and I will cook up just that ^^ I will post whenever I open up more Ko-Fi Commission slots!

Seeya later!! 💜💜💜

THE “CANON” HIVE BLOG IS LIVE!

i’ve been getting a lot of questions lately about the more detailed/canon aspects of the HIVE, which, genuinely, means the absolute world to me. i can’t believe how many of you are interested in this silly little idea that’s like. mostly self-indulgent shitposts with a small dash of lore. that said, i thought it might be nice to have something people could directly go to if they wanted HIVE context without all the non-canon stuff (and my other art, bc i’m always in some fandom hell on the side lol)

anyway all that to say, @talesaboardthehive is now a functional log for anyone who wants references, story beats, and whatever else!

#tales aboard the hive (the tag) still encompasses everything else here — like your submitted crewmate reports, questions, etc — but the extra side blog is for anyone who wants direct access to the rare actual lore tidbits. when new stuff comes out, i’ll reblog it there so you know it’s actually a “canon” part of the story (because we apparently have one of those now 👀) easy peasy!

for the record: i am still posting HIVE stuff here. basically nothing about that will change. the blog is just an archive for all the stuff that’s story-relevant :D

thank you, and thank you all for your patience o7

🥺🥺🥺 not 2 be sappy on main but omg I actually started off in Deviantart ages ago, that was the closest thing to social media for me until the tumblr migration lol. But I never really interacted with people on there, and even upon moving to tumblr, never really interacted with people here too often either. At first I had my main blog which was meant to be more professional since I was selling art to get a little college income, so I didn't really make too many irrelevant posts. Then I decided that I wanted to be able to reblog art and support other artists, so I made a side blog where I carefully curated and tagged the posts I reblogged. I made a few original posts but no one ever interacted, and eventually I realized that people only ever sent me asks there if I tagged anything wrong. Also I found out that adding stuff like series and character tags to a reblog on tumblr is basically useless because the op will pretty much always tag those things which makes it searchable on your own blog even if you don't tag it yourself. And if op DIDN'T tag it those things, your tags will make the post searchable on your blog but NOT in the general search, so it doesn't give op any more of a boost than just reblogging it tagless. So I made another sideblog, which I still have today, and I just rapidfire reblog literally anything I find shareworthy lol. Not any interaction there but at least I'm not wasting my time meticulously tagging strangers posts hsfjdlshfks. Since I was best friends with a big name fan in my main fandom (we became friends when I left a long emotional comment on their fanfic btw <3), I helped run some small fandom events and met more people as well. When I switched fandoms, it was a fandom event that gave me a new friend too, my posts never got any traction. Large fandom discords didn't really work for me either. But on this blog I was lucky, and for the first time people started like actually responding to my comments and posts, and get conversations going! And genuinely that's what's kept my brain rot so powerful I think, because bouncing ideas off each other and joking around and shitposting is genuinely the most fun I've ever had online!! I have to thank desta and oatmeal for the fun times especially, and hillbilly---man left really nice comments on my first few fics that really encouraged me, and I always have fun trading ideas with alienn, saikikthoughts, and crookedlyinnernightmare, plus everyone else who's on here, that's too many people to type out. AND I TYPED UP A BUNCH MORE STUFF BUT TUMBLR FUCKING DELETED IT!! Are you shitting me.... Well I think I remember saying that even if it's been getting kinda quiet and boring lately so my attention is starting to wander (I've pretty much posted all of the meta that's not deep fanfic hc at this point and my drawings take me a long time to make), I'll never delete this blog and I'll still be putzing around online until the day I die probably. And I'll always remember these days fondly and hope to find another great community like this one. And also I highly encourage everyone to post, reply, interact, and play with fellow fans! I've made lifelong friendships over blorbos and even if we don't have the same blorbos any more, we're still friends. Obviously stay safe online, never send money to strangers, probably wait like a year to start shipping each other stuff but still, reach out because you never know who you might meet! I've been lonely irl for most of my life for various reasons, and my online friends have been a lifeline honestly, they're all really important to me. Two of my best friends today come from fanfic comment sections!! Also I need to get around to archiving my meta on AO3 lol (yup, it's for meta too!) but that's gonna be a lot of work so -_-U).

Okay so this is the most personal and parasocial I’ll (hopefully) ever get on my stupid art blog, but I think there’s someone out there like me who might need to hear this:

idk if I’m happy with the way I’ve reached 300 followers.

Not that I’m ungrateful, I’m extremely happy, I understand that 300 whole people decided they liked my art enough to bother to follow me and I just made a shitpost of catboy five pebbles to celebrate. But honestly I don’t know if the way I got those followers is the way I want to continue doing art

Those followers mostly came from my lmk and rain world fanarts, but the reason I draw so much fanart of those communities is because I saw how many more notes those posts got than my oc ones.

Before I’d basically if not actually just only draw oc art. Art felt so much more fulfilling when I just drew those little goobers in my head than now. Now I feel like I’m making art for this audience I’ve artificially manufactured by posting what they want to see.

It doesn’t feel like I’m creating for myself when that’s the whole reason I got into art. Plus, all my favorite blogs and mutuals post like pure oc art which I why I think they’re my favorites and mutuals, their art is what they want to make.

That’s what I want my art to be like, just what I wanted to create.

But, tldr: I think I’ll be making and posting more oc art

NEW INTRO!

Hi, my name is Iris, and this is my mythology blog!

Important things about me:

-First. I am a minor. I am not disclosing my age here (and please don't ask me to), but I will say that I am a teenager. I add this because this will contribute to several of my rules on this blog, but because I am also mutuals with 18+ people and I want to give them a choice if they want to follow me after learning I am under 18 or not. I'm sorry for not mentioning this before, mutuals who are reading, but I am in fact a minor. (I also ask that mutuals who do know my age to not mention it here).

-I am a demiromantic asexual, and supportive of the LGBTQIA+ community. DNI if homophobic or transphobic.

-I write. A lot. I might never mention it on my blog otherwise, so you get a fun fact about me either way :)

-I'm also an artist. True, not a very accomplished one, but I'm an artist nevertheless and yes, I will occasionally post my art on here or share it with my mutuals.

This is my blog for reblogging things, chatting with moots, and shitposts: @rainbow-mayhem

This is my blog for writing stuff: @writers-mayhem

Rules on this blog:

-No NSFW. As stated before, I am a minor and asexual. Just don't send me NSFW stuff and NSFW blogs please do not follow me, the topic of NSFW is just an uncomfortable topic for me.

-You can submit or send me an ask about any myth or mythology! I might not know all of them, but I promise you I will look into all of them, and who knows? Maybe you're the one who'll inspire me to (finally) start learning about another mythology!

-If it's not NSFW, feel free to send me asks! I love respectful asks about mythology and 100% of the time I WILL absolutely geek out over them. Have no guilt in interacting via asks, I really appreciate them!

-That being said. If you're not my mutual or someone I know personally, please don't DM me. If you're a mythology/other blog that I have interacted with/had a civilized conversation with before, you can go ahead and dm me! :D I promise it's not me trying to be cold, I'm just not very comfortable with random people sliding into my DMs.

-DNI if: Racist, homophobic, transphobic, pedophile, zoophile, ableist or if you support/condone any of these behaviors. I don't want you on my blog, please leave.

Anyway, a little about this blog: Primarily Aztec mythology. If you want a blog that posts a lot about Aztec mythology, feel free to explore mine! I have a three-year long obsession with Aztec mythology and I honestly love it and to talk about it, it's so cool.

I do also do Greek mythology, JTTW, and a little bit of Norse and Egyptian!

My primary posting type is head canons or incorrect quotes.

Stuff to expect:

-I do in fact reblog things that I believe are funny, need to be heard, or align with my own personal beliefs.

-I have amazing mutuals, so you'll certainly see a lot of reblog-chain conversations with them! They're great people and if you like my blog, go check out some of theirs.

-I will mention some role-play stuff because I am in a Tumblr rp (concerning mythology, in fact).

-I do not post consistently, and do not have a queue! That being said, I love posting on here and will try to do it frequently (but please don't pressure me to do so. I have a life outside of Tumblr and if I ever take breaks, it's because stuff is happening there).

If you want to be mutuals, just ask! 9 times out of 10, I will follow you back, unless you are a racist, homophobic, transphobic, etc (basically DNI list) or an NSFW blog. I don't mind adults following me, but unless we're mutuals, generally try to stay out of my DMs, thanks!

Wow, this was long haha. Congrats if you made it all the way, here's a cookie 🍪

Anyway back to the mythology brainrot! 😁 It's nice having you here and I hope to see you around!!

ok just in case heres alternate social medias i might turn to if banned:

TWITTER! i hate twitter i hate twitter i hate twitter i actually used to like twitter! ive had an account for over 2 years now and made it like a month before my tumblr. unforuntately im worried that if i moved permanantly, id go back to where i was on twitter, ie nintendo/shitpost twitter. i should be reblogging on all blogs btw, so yes, to the sonic blog, this means i probably wont be on sonic twitter (they scare me). i also wont post my art because i dont usually remember to use nightshade and i dont want my art to be scraped edit: nvm im on sonic twitter now (also this was posted before the tumblr ai thing)

DEVIANTART! i last posted to DA in june, but used to be a fairly frequent poster. that was only for a few months, though, hence my grand total of 45 deviations. edit: nvm i forgot its own by wix (an isreali company)

TIKTOK! i HAVE a normal tiktok that i havent touched with a 5m pole since july. im not linking it because the reason i stopped using it is because kids from school kept finding me and if i linked an account where kids from school found me, creeps could find me. the one linked is currently private and has never been used before. i do actually like tiktok, despite its flaws! and the sonic community ISNT a cesspit! in all honesty, to me, tiktok feels like high-effort tumblr, which is what it basically used to be for me before i stopped using it (and you can kinda make a 'text post' with a nice picture and some text with a song in the background anyway).

YOUTUBE (?)! i DO have a jupitercl0uds channel but i mostly use my main, bluniverse, for some reason. idk its youtube its not much of a social media anymore

DISCORD! yeah my discord is jupitercl0uds i still use dc i cant really make any comments its discord you know how it is

what (human) social media do you think the hexaquad uses/is on. Because personally I think Luz is weird and bi enough that she would use tumblr and completely commit to the goncharov bit

Luz absolutely uses tumblr as her primary socmed and she has an intimate relationship with the nature of its insanity. She's the one the others ask when they stumble across an utterly incomprehensible meme and Luz will be like "Okay so basically the origin of eeby deeby is--"

She has two blogs. One for art and one for reblogs/fandom/shitposting. She used to have a twitter but she deleted it some time during the Thanks to Them montage because she was dealing with too much bullshit to tolerate the cesspool. She has an Instagram that she uses exclusively for posting art.

Oh and ao3. How could I forget ao3?

I feel like Amity is completely uninterested in human social media. Out of all the kids, she's the only one who didn't really find a specific hobby/interest during her time in gravesfield. She's already got a pensta and she likes how it's tailored for witch society. She'd have no interest in Instagram or twitter or shit like that. BUT she would absolutely go apeshit once she discovers the Good Witch Azura fandom in the Human Realm. (Literally NOBODY back home even knew what those books were.) She doesn't understand the memes and shitposts or general culture but Amity would absolutely have a fandom specific tumblr. She mostly just reblogs from Luz. An ao3 too of course <3

Willow used pensta for general teen reasons like selfies and socializing with her friends before she came to Gravesfield but now that she's developed an interest in photography? Oh that girl's account is gonna get such a glo up. She'd have an Instagram too. She actually becomes pretty popular on both accounts. Not ✨️Influencer✨️ status but she's gained quite a following of humans and witches alike.

I like to imagine that she also has a Pinterest. Idk she strikes me as somebody who'd enjoy collecting aesthetic pics and making boards. For the same reason she also has a tumblr that's mostly aesthetic with the occasional feral little reblog like this thrown in

Gus is a tiktok kid!!! Gus is SUCH a tiktok kid!!! I could also see him having a YouTube channel where he posts deranged little vlogs (in this universe Gus13 does not exist or its after it happened and only adds more fuel to the fire.) A twitch too maybe?? I could see him streaming. Basically I just think Gus would be drawn to all the video-focused social media.

I think he'd have a twitter too where he tweets his insane little thoughts and it actually blows up in popularity because people think it's a parody account.

Also....he would read Wikipedia religiously and eventually get banned from making his own edits.

Ok ok ok ok I think it would be so funny if Hunter got his penstagram account back in ASIAS, got so excited about finally having a regular teen experience but after a year or so once he's become well acquainted with pensta culture he's like "Well. This sucks."

So basically

Back when Hunter got a scroll, he followed Willow and that was that. He never followed anyone else. He has never posted anything. He can't even be convinced to follow any more of his friends. Not even Gus. He has notifications on for when Willow posts. He pops in to like them and then he fucks off again. People have forgotten that Hunter even has an account.

But when it comes to human socmed OHHHHH....

I want to say he has a devianart. But I'm not sure because I'm pretty sure that devianart is a husk of its former self. So he probably just has a tumblr. Hunter has not yet learned that you can make seperate blogs for all your different interests so his blog is a cluttered mess of his whole autistic self Cosmic Frontier brainrot, wolves, anime, the occasional embroidery pics that Willow tags him in.

Also he would be on neopets.

BONUS CHARACTERS:

Camila is on Facebook and Instagram. Also after the events of the series she gradually begins to rediscover the Cosmic Frontier message boards she used to frequent back when Manny was still alive. They brought back memories of her grief for the longest time but she's beginning to once again embrace her love for the series. She's even reconnected with some old online friends <3

Vee would have all the Normal Human Teenage Girl Social Media. She mostly uses twitter, Instagram and Pinterest. She also stays active on Facebook just to like her mom's posts.

Mattholomule would use reddit. Don't disagree with me I'm right.

Hi new followers, this is a "personal" blog aka there's no theme here for what I do or don't post/reblog

I like to shitpost and gush about my blorbos from a 15 year old JRPG that was widely hated by the ENG fandom for, 99% of the time, absolutely bullshit reasons

Views of mine you may wish to know about so you can reconsider following because for some reason people like to take massive exception to these basic, common sense stances include:

"fiction isn't reality and if people explore dark shit in fiction it doesn't automatically mean they endorse it IRL, no matter how ~romanticized~ they present it"

"trans men, masculine, etc. people do in fact face their own unique intersections of bigotry and deserve to discuss these and have words to discuss these specific intersections"

Being trans and being nonbinary are not mutually exclusive and one can be either or both depending on how they feel about their identity

There is no The True Trans Experience and different trans people will have wildly different lived experiences and these being different from your own does not make them "not really trans". Furthermore if you find them talking about their actual lived experiences upsetting or triggering, or if you find their making writing or art that features trans characters or headcanons based on their experiences triggering, that is okay but that is a YOU problem and you should just block them instead of telling them to stop posting things about or based on THEIR lived experience to make you more comfortable and/or calling them "not real trans people"
