Tumblr has discovered The Sandman...

Tumblr has discovered Neil Gaiman’s The Sandman. Here are some of the examples of proof of that discovery. The good and the not-so-good.

1. The Corinthian (A nightmare entity) has been referred to as a “Blorbo.” Based on my understanding of the meaning of the word I am pretty certain The Corinthian probably should not be your Blorbo. But then again you might be into that sort of thing. I’ve seen some strange things in the Horror movie slasher fandoms. Just know that if he was real it would probably not be safe to think of him as your Blorbo.

2. The Corinthian has been called Cori and Cory respectively. And so it begins...

3. Morpheus has been referred to as a poor little “Meow Meow” and not while in his cat form. And yes, I know he fits the criteria for the term. It’s just this was the first time I’ve seen him called it without it being literally related to his cat form. You have truly made it in the world of Tumblr when they start calling your character a Blorbo or Poor LIttle Meow Meow. Whatever happened to Woobie? I would think Morpheus would fit under “Woobie.”

4. I have seen Tom Sturridge (Morpheus’s Netflix actor) referred to as a DILF. (Dad I’d like to ...have fun with). As the term is usually reserved for older men, and I, myself, am forty, and Tom Sturridge is a few years younger than I am, this term usage came as a surprise to me. It turns out some fans are using the term quite literally as Tom Sturridge literally is a father. I was used to the term being used specifically in regard to age.

5. Morpheus has been compared to a Disney Princess.

6. A scene from the source material has been taken out of context to make the character look more like an asshole than he actually is even though there are plenty of real asshole moments as the character is on a long redemption arc.

The scene in question is when Matthew the Raven says “Penny for your thoughts.” And Morpheus responds with “You have no pennies, Matthew.” Later Morpheus offers Matthew a literal penny in exchange for him voicing his thoughts. Morpheus being too literal is what is happening here. Context matters.

7. There are people trying to bluff having read The Sandman without having actually read The Sandman to try to gain clout in the fandom. It’s okay to have not read it yet, guys. It’s a great read. There’s nothing to be ashamed of. Go have fun. I promise it’s not as difficult as some people make it out to be.

Someone genuinely tried to argue with me that the “White haired version of Morpheus” was not created by Neil Gaiman and was created long after he was done writing The Sandman. If you have read The Sandman you would understand how wrong this is.

Don’t try to bluff having read The Sandman if you have not. We can tell. We can always tell.

8. There are gatekeepers trying to intimidate new readers into thinking there’s nothing whimsical in The Sandman and that it’s “So deep” and “you won’t get it the first time you read it. You have to read it a few times to understand it.”

Yes, there is darkness in The Sandman. It’s part dark fantasy / part Gothic Horror with moments of gore but there are light things too. Don’t discourage new readers. I promise the story isn’t as hard to get into as some people make it out to be. I know terms like “Classic” can make some people chafe. Just give it a try. If you don’t like the first issue, try the second. If you don’t like the second, keep going until at least issue four. If you still don’t like it after issue 4, it’s okay to stop. No one will judge you. If you don’t like comic books, try the audio drama, it’s divided into chapters like a novel. Each issue being a chapter. If you don’t like it after chapter four, that’s okay. You’ll know if you like it or not by then.

9. There is already fan art of Tom Sturridge as Morpheus in funny / ridiculous scenarios. No picture is given here as I did not get permission from the artists to share them yet.

10. There are already people complaining about the casting without having watched the show yet. One faction claiming the casting is “too woke” while another faction seemed concerned that it’s not inclusive enough even though Desire is nonbinary and pansexual, Death is a black woman, Rose and Unity are black women, Ruthven Sykes is a black man, Lucienne is a black woman who wears spectacles, Lucifer (who has no set gender or even sexual reproductive organs) is being played by a woman, Alexander Burgess is gay, The Corinthian is gay, Johanna Constantine is bisexual, Cain and Abel are South Asian...

There even seem to be politically charged rants complaining because the English language show, with an English cast, written by an English writer, has a lead actor with an English accent...

So what do I have to say about Tumblr discovering The Sandman?

Well..

Welcome to the Sandom!

You’re in for quite a ride. And don’t put your fingers too close to The Corinthian’s face. Just... Don’t.

Your next significant relationship

This reading explores the essence, personality and dynamic of your next significant relationship! Please remember that this reading is not set in stone, if you dont like the energy of your next person then thats ok! You dont have to date or be with someone you dont like. See this as a "heads up" Close your eyes and allow your intution to guide you to your pile, as always, take what resonated and maybe choose a different reader if nothing connects

Pile one

Who is your next person?- hierophant, 8 of cups, the magican, "makita" [observe, perceive, scrutinize]

Your next person is someone who is on the path to healing, exploring the darker emotions, and learning about the absloute depth of their soul. I feel this person has gone through experiences and inner tribulations that triggered then to go inwards and find their depth and the source of who they are. I feel that the traumas and wounds they have experienced acted as an "initation" to exploring their inner self. Their energy is showing up as soneone who is on that path to learn who they are. This person holds alot of power in their essence because they are very reserved and mysterious, thry go inwards to learn about themselves instead of outwards, and because of this their withdrawn energy radiates a strong magnetic pull that has the capacity to repel and attract the people aligned with them. I also see that this person is extremely perceptive, self aware, and critical of themselves and others. They are very aware of the way their mind works and aware of what their triggers are. They also choose to observe rather than react which is why they're so powerful, their ability to withdraw from reacting immediately displays their discipline, self control, and maturity. I also feel an energy of this person being extremely resourceful as well, they know how to transmute negativity into something that benefits them in the long run. Their emphasis on their will, ability to manifest and take control over their life is showing up here. During this reading my tumblr app and headphones would connect and disconnect, almost "resetting" so I feel this person has done a "reset" on their life. They use their ability to connect and disconnect from others to transform and go inwards. I think in the past they were somone they did not like because they lacked the qualities they have now, and now they are awakened to their full potiental, and taken control over their life

Their dynamic with you- knight of wands, 9 of wands

Very firey, active dynamic. This person is action oriented and I also feel they don't like to waste time. They are passionate, vibrant and lustfulm They know what they want and they will get it, your relationship will never be founded off of flighty ifs and maybes because it's based off of pure passion and action. I feel like you guys will have a dynamic that can butt heads or overlapp chostically at times only because things are so go go go, I also see perseverance showing up in your dynamic. I think there will be instances of pushing through and staying strong with each other and these moments of struggle will elevate the reltionship to the next level.

Pile two

Who are they- the devil, page of wands, zenith [formulate, strategy, devise] the emperor reversed

I feel like this person is still in the process of refining their energy, they have many aspirations and ideas about what they want to do in their life but they're still controlled by their flimsy, whimsical nature. They sont take things as seriously as they should. It's hard for them to take charge over their aspirations without them moving onto the next thing that excites them. I feel like their still in the stage of formulating themselves and their life, but at the same time they get stuck in that stage of planning- perhaps stuck in their comfort zone and afraid to move out of it. They are very much in the brainstorming phase, brainstorning what they want their life to be, what they want themselves to be like, and they haven't made any offical, mature steps in the direction of exploring those goals. This person is showing up as unreliable, immature, inspired, but I don't think their intentions are negative, I just think they are ruled by their flimsy nature at the moment and that bleeds over into different areas of life. It's not that they lack passion, it's that they lack the commitment to turn that passion into something matieral.

Their dynamic with you- six of wands reversed, queen of pentacles

I'm getting the impression that in this relationship you will be the more accomplished, stable one and I don't think they like that. It's almost an energy of them feeling eclipsed by you, but at the same time I'm seeing you being the grounded, nurturing one in this relationship meaning they rely on you. DO NOT BE A MOTHER TO YOUR PARTNER. You are not there to be their mother, don't enable their behavior in the dynamic created between you and them. I also feel this person will have the need to try and impress you or act from a state of impressing their own ego in this dynamic, simply because they are insecure and want validation for where they are in life.

Pile three

Who are they- 7 of cups, 10 of wands, tower reversed

This person's energy is showing up as a ticking time bomb, they are very overhwlened in life, overburdened and for sone of you, this person is presented with alot of options romantically. The reason i say that is because the deck I'm using displays the 7 of cups as a person pondering fish in the water, so litterally this person has many "fish in the sea" that they can choose from, (or perhaps has been with many people and relationships and carries burdens from that) but in general, this is an energy of someone who has many options and paths that they can go down but feel very weighed down by it. I also feel like this person represses emotions instead of allowing then to be released in healthy ways. That's why their energy is showing up as a ticking time bomb, they carry so much weight instead of asking for help or releasing what's not meant for them. They struggle to make choices without overthinking them, I think this person has taken on too much, but I do see that they are strong willed to a fault. They are resolute and determined, they don't like to give up just because something gets hard for them. They feel if they asked for help they would be weak or "replacing" themselves, in a way, their refusal to back down is their way of securing their worth in the world.

Their dynamic with you- the fool

Unique, expressive and trusting. I think this relationship will be based on taking chances and trusting one another, being vulnerable and allowing yourself be bare to one another. I think of "trust falls" when I think of this connection This relationship dynamic will also be unique and out of the box for you, I think it will be hard to place your dynamic into one label or style of attachment as it's independent and different from anything youve experienced. I think you both will allow your connection to take on its own identity without trying to understand or box it into a label

Man.

So, of course, the rampant theft and disregard for artists has never been ideal, but Pinterest has always been an invaluable tool despite that since it's a paradise for reference and discovery (so you know, always tag your art.. .in multiple places. I started tagging mine with more subtle watermarks in the dead center since uploaders were cropping my tag out, even though like, with the elias respite image, it ruins the composition by ruining the card look and frame... Why do you want to crop my sig out so bad to ruin the composition lmao) Anyway Point being, I have gotten more use out of pinterest as a reference archive than any annoyance it has ever brought me. I've found some artists I absolutely adore using it, too, especially when people use it as its (mostly. sort of) original intended purpose, being a huge communal bookmark/pinboard... those that leave the links directly to the art/artist are saints. However, I really, really hate seeing it being over run by generated Aye-Eye shit. Especially since, apparently, no one ever told the Aye-Eye bros the common sense of "DON'T make the exact same picture 500 times with only an ever so slight difference, are you stupid?" (rhetorical question, ofc.) But it's getting harder and harder to keep the search feeds tailored because these morons cannot understand the value of quality > quantity, so I love being flooded with the slightest variant on the same gd picture over and over. I really hope this bubble bursts or the world gets its act together and outlaws it/heavily regulates it soon. I've said before I wasn't even completely against it as a potential for a fun tool back when it made actually cool dream-like collages of really wacked out whimsical shit, but even then it was like "... but you shouldn't have free reign to just steal to make this stuff. At least it looks nothing like the source, I guess?" but the "Better" it gets, the more uselessly souless and obnoxious it gets, and the more "well that's just straight up obvious theft" it gets. I see so ,so so so many recognizable styles , sort of just hollowed out husks, in these awful things... but hilariously, the more over saturated they get, the more they seem to just feed off of each other, and they start looking like the most homogenized, soulless ero-game style art I've ever seen. Anyway, I just needed some reference for a specific cut of dress pants, and somehow *that* started turning into a feed of nothing but the same soulless pseudo-anime twunk generated over and over and over with bulbous buttocks stuffed into passable pantsuit pantaloons. so I guess i'll just get my ref the old fashioned way - going to specific websites/blogs with actual photos. I'm just glad that for the most part tumblr and bluesky both are strongly anti-aye-eye, they're the only two places where I rarely have to see the shit.

#shut up pu #probably delete this later #that quote from the new hbomberguy video feels particularly applicable here

BLADE | ERC BROOKS (1990 trilogy)

────────────────────

relationship Headcanons

SFW, vampire!reader & reg.human!reader

pic source: blade (1998) movie|questions source: @snk-warriors SFW alphabet

NOTES: Hope you enjoy! (gotta put the notes here cause tumblr keeps deleting my shit!)

A = Activities - What do they like to do with their s/o? How do they spend their free time with them?

He enjoys indulging in softer things with you once you've reached that stage (sleeping snuggled together, reading together, coming up with new strategies.) All that stuff.

He’ll also train you (if you don’t have the skills already) and sparr with you regularly. You tend to be on the move a fair bit too, so road-trip shenanigans will ensue and you will piss each other off somehow.

B = Beauty - What do they admire about their s/o? What do they think is beautiful about them?

He inherently finds you attractive if he gives you more than a second glance period, but competence is something he finds most attractive in general. Any one who can hold their own in a fight or prove themselves resourceful and able to keep their cool during conflict is going to peak his curiosity.

Whether he becomes romantically interested in you outside of your initial appeal depends on your personality out of battle.

C = Comfort - How would they help their s/o when they feel down/have a panic attack etc.?

Not well. Eric is not good at emotions that inherently have to do with vulnerability. At first he’s likely to ignore you or tell you to get your head on straight or some shit so he won’t be much help.

Now if you're having something like a panic attack or if you’ve gone hysterical or something he won’t just leave you out to dry. He’ll be gruff and awkward about it but he’ll put in some effort to calm you down. Stressing that he’s got your back will definitely be his go to, but explaining the logistics of your situation will also be something he gravitates towards: how far off the grid you are, the uv lights littering the hideout, etc.

D = Dreams - How do they picture their future with their s/o?

On principle Eric doesn’t let himself get distracted by whimsical thoughts like that. He’s fighting a seemingly endless war and thinking about a future that likely won’t happen and won't do anything but get him killed is useless in his opinion.

In general Eric just cherishes the time he does have with you. At most when you're resting and he has the chance to just hold you he’ll think about staying with you like this forever. Not being in danger ever again, not the vampiric kind at least.

E = Equal - Are they the dominant one in the relationship, or rather passive?

Eric’s the dominant one, no argument. Both his personality and profession don’t allow him comfort in not being in explicit control of his situation.

That being said, if he trusts you he will allocate some of the responsibility to you. You’re his partner in and off the field and likely have a dominant personality as well that compliments his own. You’re two different types of dominant and balance one another out.

F = Flight - Would they be easy to forgive their s/o? How are they fighting?

No. It doesn’t even matter if it’s a small thing that’s not even really a secret but just personal, he’ll be in his feelings about it.

Earning his trust is no easy feat and anytime you break it Eric will take it personally, but smaller offenses he will undoubtedly get over himself about eventually.

Now anything big is a whole other story. You're secretly a mole? He’ll kill you and it’ll be vicious even if a part of him will always mourn what you once had.

G = Gratitude - How grateful are they in general? Are they aware of what their s/o is doing for them?

Eric is big headed. Without active prompting from someone else, like Whistler, or the sudden absence of your help he’ll mostly overlook your contributions.

It’d have to take something/someone shoving how good you are for him in his face for him to appreciate you outside of grunts of thanks and rushed requests.

Even romantically he’ll insist he doesn’t need you, that he’s not attached. It pisses you off like nothing else and his denial will grate on you to the point of an argument at some point. He’ll have to be honest with himself eventually though, and do a hell of a lot to make it up to you and show you that he values your relationship too.

H = Honesty - Do they have secrets they hide from their s/o? Or do they share everything?

He inherently doesn’t like telling anyone about his mother and her death and so finding out about that will take him being real comfortable with his s/o. His mother having been turned successfully, not being dead, and leaving him out to dry as a kid/trying to kill him will be a secret he keeps even closer to his chest.

Other than that he’ll hide small things from you if he feels he can handle a situation on his own. Things like if someone is following you or he was confronted by an enemy are things that will only come out if his leg is pulled.

I = Inspiration - Did their s/o change them somehow, or the other way around? Like trying out new things or helping them overcome personal problems?

100% Eric is way more personable with you in his life. Doesn’t matter if you’ve also got a gruff personality, the fact that he’s talking to someone else positively at all is enough to improve his communication skills.

Him loving you and being able to admit that is also a way you change him. He becomes way better at handling intimacy with you at his side.

If you’re less battle oriented or meek he’ll help with that definitely. At first he’s too forceful but eventually he’ll get the gist of teaching you with things like positive reassurance and cooperation.

J = Jealousy - Do they get jealous easily? How do they deal with it?

Eric is more possessive than he is jealous. He’s used to the good things in his life being taken away from him and is very protective of you.

He doesn’t get jealous mostly because he’d have to think anyone could be better than him at something, for starters, and jealousy can’t happen at all unless you manage to form a close personal connection with someone else.

Even then once he’s learned to trust you at your own reassurance he’ll take you at your word completely that you only have eyes for him.

niyaaaa do u have any tips for people who wanna get into fic writing? 👀

i don’t really get how the whole posting format for fics works on here tbh 😭 and like your info area it’s so cool

YEAH OFC!! btw dm me your username so i can follow and support you <3

tip 1- the posting format isnt that hard to get used to actually its just you create a tumblr text post and then copy and paste your fic onto it, add the tags and stuff then post it. if you want to add banners, headers and stuff to make it look better then go ahead, just add images to the text post

tip 2- the info area is the same as above, just add pictures of your choice etc to the text post, add your information, name, age, fav things etc and then to link posts to your post, highlight where u want the link to go, then copy the link of the post u want linked then press the hyperlink that looks like two chains linked together when you highlight the text if that makes sense? sounds like a lot but its rlly not i promise haha

tip 3- always type your fics on other apps like word or google docs since they have an auto save feature!! i dont reccomend typing your fics on tumblr since one if the app crashes, it doesn't automatically save your work so everything you wrote will get deleted (some versions of tumblr do have autosave, my laptop has it but my phone and iPad doesn't, so i dont rely on it)

tip 4- idk if you want tips on actual fic writing or just how to get your fics onto tumblr but ill help you with that anyway. with me when i write fics i always imagine it out in my head. theres some of my fics where i just went with the flow and wrote wgatever came to mind and those are the fics i hate the most because they dont rlly make sense to me. theyre always so random and it just seems rushed and bad.

i picture my fics like a scene in my head and whatever i want the character to do, think, say or feel i write that shit down asap. i use other online sources to help get more descriptive like the emotion theasurus <- honestly one of my favourite things to use ever, they have so much body language to use for every emotion in the damn book

dialogue is also something i find difficult. i've improved i personally feel like but its still hard for me especially if im writing a new character. i never want to make the character seem OOC so i do lots of research before hand. i normally use the wiki to read up on a characters personality.

for example i'll use ran for this since he's like 99% of my account lmao. in the wiki, he's described as "naturally whimsical toward others which makes him inscrutable" though ran doesnt have many scenes in the manga (which i hate bc i love him sm) its impossible to actually write him down to a tee so i use that naturally whimsical description to make him playful, charismatic, carefree etc, going off what little information i have with him.

getting a characters personality down is what can make or break a dialogue. for me when im reading a fic of a character and their dialogue is so OOC it puts me off and i dont even wanna read. so i apply my same fic icks to myself and think if I don't like seeing this and that in a fic, why would I incorporate those in my fics and have ppl get put off it if they have the same fic icks as me?

hope that makes sense!!

tip 5- dont rush yourself at all. i used to rush a few of my fics and i just ended up hating it so much after and fought bck the urge to delete them so many times but then i'd see people's comments and realise i was being too harsh on myself. i'd keep them up but i'd just hate seeing them get attention.

rushing only makes you hate your work and the quality of your work will decline if you are not in the right headspace.

thats also why i have the don't rush me thing in my rules because not only is it annoying to see people constantly asking for updates, it also makes me mad because i know i'll just put out a piece of garbage if i did rush.

also another tip don't give yourself deadlines!! if you know your writing consistency can be a little sloppy, don't tell your followers that you're going to upload every so and so day. if something happens and you miss the deadline, you'll feel bad and rush something out and most times out of ten, a rushed fic doesn't do well. so take your time and don't rush.

tip 6- dont listen to what other people say or feel obligated to write something you don't wanna. establish your boundaries!! for example, from day one i started this blog i said im accepting requests but i will not write anything to do with non-con, incest or minors. i made sure that was out there so i wouldn't feel uncomforable writing anything i wasn't comfy with.

there are people on this app that may like your writing and request you to write something for them. you are not obligated to write anything for anyone! don't feel like you have to just because they asked nicely.

if you want to accept requests you can im not saying you shouldn't, im saying don't feel like you have to. you always have a choice. its your blog.

tip 7- remember this isn't a job. you're allowed to take breaks, allowed to have a personal life. don't feel like you need to be updating every day. i used to think i was obligated to be uploading consistently at least every week because i was obsesssed with engagement and seeing peoples comments and was scared if i took a break ppl will unfollow. now i honestly don't care. i'm not active as much as i used to because of school and that's fine! if ppl want to leave, let them. don't feel like you're forced to keep being active in order to keep your follower count stable.

tip 8- this app can get really toxic sometimes. luckily enough i've only had one toxic anon in my inbox and i've been on this app for a year. some people have so many, some ppl get harrassed etc. if that happens to you just be prepared since there's no actual way to find out who's behind anons. you can turn off your anon options which means if ppl want to inbox you something then their account will be showing. some people arent comfortable with that and that's fine! i keep mine on because i want people to feel comfortable on my page.

just remember though if you ever feel like this app is getting overwhelming take breaks! for the sake of your mental health take breaks. i know so many writers on here that took breaks and came back healthier and stronger.

i feel like this tip goes for social media in general. as much as i love social media im aware how unhealthy it is. breaks are so important for you. remember that.

i can't think of anymore tips right now but if i have some more i will edit the post and add it on.

if u have anymore questions about the tumblr posting format dm me and ill help you out :))

@dujour13 Well well well, you asked about Siavash and Eneas and my thoughts don’t fit into a tumblr comment. 😂 Especially since I actually think a relationship between the two of them would work out great but also be highly complicated in quite intriguing ways. What an exciting redemption project Eneas would be for Siavash, wouldn’t he?

But their relationship would need to grow beyond that – the way it did with Woljif – since Eneas doesn't regret most of the more vicious things he did and can't be brought there. He stands firm in his own philosophy about life and he adores it because of its dark aspects too. So he is by no means cynical but in morbid awe about the terrible aspects in it all as much as he sees and deeply enjoys the beautiful parts of it too. He won’t change or not beyond his very own process that’s already happening. When he was young, he was full of hidden rage and the urge for bitter vengeance resulting from the torture and abuse he went through. But he grew so much calmer, he is at peace with the world in accepting it the way it is. Today he doesn’t play the control over his strong emotions (and he experiences them more deeply than most, the curse of his existence but also the source of his power), he truly feels it. The only emotion still escaping his control sometimes and therefore the one he fears most, well, is love.

But – and maybe that’s enough for Siavash – as I wrote before, if his partner has a moral code that’s important to them, Eneas adopts the moral code as long as his feelings are sincere (and they would be very sincere with Siavash), to a degree that he won’t act against it too strongly anymore (unless a desperate situation calls for it).

They both would be drawn to each other immediately, I feel: both musicians, artists, both with high diplomatic skills, lying to get their way, both wanderers and travelers with a fondness of bold color combinations … 😂 Eneas’ taste in fashion may be more … refined (sorry Sia), they’d still look amazing on stage together.

Siavash’s whimsical flair and lightness would go well with the atmosphere Eneas creates. Their creativity would play into each other’s and their creations would be magnificent. I imagine their music, I also imagine the roles they would play, not to fool each other but anyone around them – for new experiences and exciting games.

Siavash needs to be careful though. If Eneas senses his idea to redeem him, he may use this against him to manipulate him in return. It would become a battle who influences who and Eneas would find it highly interesting if he can find some darkness in Siavash instead, negative aspects to foster until he would act on them. (And he is much more talented in this subtle game than Meph, I can guarantee that much. 😁)

It would be important that Siavash shows him that he actually loves him and no matter what to avoid this road, that’s a way to disarm him. – And very needed to stop him from running the moment he realizes he is in too deep. Or maybe Siavash would be the one who attempts to flee first? They both seem to have those tendencies. Ah, if they see this habit mirrored in each other, they may experience the pain of it themselves now – searching for the other one again, trying to make it better.

If things go well, Siavash should be delighted to find out that Eneas isn’t bond to a city or even country, so he could satisfy his need for adventuring with him by his side. Furthermore, Eneas knows many exciting places himself he found during his long life and would be more than thrilled to show them to him and see his reactions.

The Perspectives of a Hero

Today marks the beginning of work on a story of mine! I'll posting small updates when I can remember to for it. It's a story all about a group of 3 young adults beginning their journey on becoming heroes in a fantasy world! Whimsical creatures roam the lands, as magic is only a source they can control. Yet, mortals find a way to break that rule. It starts very fun and jovial, but begins to get darker as they realize the stakes at hand. I can't wait to begin sharing this with all of tumblr, and hopefully one day be able to turn this from a story, to a comic, and even a show if we can get there! Before anything even possibly happens with this story, thank you to everyone who keeps up with this from start to finish!

I think it's real funny how Tumblr rolls. I'm just a fella that's gotten here after their gf said "Hey you'd fit here!" Which honestly migt be one of the most threatening things i've read during this winter break.

Before spawning in this god forsaken land I was on twitter and made the best choice of my life in leaving that pñace behind many months ago. Am I a twitter refugee? A pinterest refugee, even?

Whatever it might be I'll try dipping my toes in this whimsical land where no wacky antics can ruin my day! Not as often.

Greetings! My name is MilhSpears, Milh for short. I like being called other names, though! Specially Speares.

Level 18, I'm what you would call a Writter! Or at least that's what friends are saying I am, I trust em. I'm big into roleplay and sometimes I write prompts, when im not slacking.

I'm a sucker for cool OCs and I'm somewhat of a listener. Will never ask for it but I will be lurking for the cool babies. Artists are the best source of inspiration for other artists!!

Unfortunately, I am also a gamer. I enjoy videogames. My PC blew up when I got to the octillion cookies per second on my Cookie Clicker save but I'm getting the pieces fixed. No that was not a joke that happened---

Yeah, that sums it up! I have many interest, others that I didnt mention are all over the place and I really don't feel like writting em down on a list. See ya around?

Spy Kids: Armageddon second trailer!!

New trailer already? Not that I'm complaining.

So I just watched the next Spy Kids: Armageddon trailer, which also looks good! I do have a worry or two though.

I also recorded my first time reaction via OBS, and recorded the screen this time, and it still won't let me upload to Tumblr.. just wasn't meant to be, I guess. So once again we're doing an analysis post instead. The trailer's a little longer though, so this post is gonna be longer too.

If you're curious about my thoughts on the teaser trailer, you can check it out here!

I forgot to mention last time (mostly bc I wanted to know if it was true or not) that the new siblings' names are Patty and Tony, and their parents are Nora and Terrence. Rodriguez once again continues the tradition of naming the main characters after his family, though this time he named a character after himself! Kinda. Patty is named after his sister Patricia Vonne, and Tony is named after his middle name Anthony, and he went by Tony a lot as a kid.[source]

So first thing we see is Tony attempting to play a game without getting caught. That worries me. Why are games off-limits? That does not always go well.

Ayy, a Switch Lite! :D

Also this game looks like it could be an MMO.

Armageddon code? OK, so we're doing something different with the "Armageddon" naming this time compared to the Armageddon Device.

Why are there see-through safes for the Switch Lites?? Even the parents have one! Should I be worried??

When your parents say your full first name and not your nickname, that's how you know you're in trouble.

Ha! 😆 OK that was pretty funny.

Yeah, something tells me Patty and Tony are gonna be like the Gumball and Anais of Spy Kids.

Wait, the power is going off now? Is the Armageddon Code the Transmooker all of a sudden??

That is literally what happens in Spy Kids 2! Or at least in its novelisation.

Yeaaahh, these two definitely didn't help cause the problem, noooo no no, why would you suspect them? 🤭

Oooohh, is that what these guys are? They're video game enemies! OK, that makes sense. Yeah, I knew the video game aspect had to come in at some point.

So in this film, instead of the parents going away and getting captured and an uncle figure sending the kids away or an AI leading them away, the parents send the kids away themselves and get captured in the process. It does explain one of the promotional film stills. Yeah, doesn't look like there's gonna be a new uncle or aunt figure this time. Or maybe there will be? I could be wrong.

OK, so they're going with a different sort of surrealism this time, especially with the jail cell. In the first film, one of the inspirations for the first film's wacky, whimsical surrealism of Floop's castle was Antoni Gaudí.[source] This time they went with more geometric surrealism.

Oh shoot, this is a safe house!! Awesome!! 😃

Doesn't look as cozy as the original safe house though. Sorry to say.

OOOOOH, A TRAINING COURSE!!

Did we ever see a training course in the original films? I mean, the Cortez family have a workout room that I guess counts as a training course (it was used to get the kids ready for when a time like the events of Spy Kids happens). Spy Kids: Mission Critical is when we've actually seen a training course by the OSS for spies. It's really cool to see a training course the Spy Kids can train on yet again!

Also, I like your enthusiasm, Tony! X) Better than the "I'm gonna be a better spy than my step-mother!" remark last film.

The tradition of the main boy character getting hit by stupid things continues!

"Spy Suit Generator"? XD Ha! I like that, actually! Brings another new thing to the series. It also explains the fog. Though are we still getting those "let's suit up" montages?

OK so, the plane is also a boat (or is it a seaplane?), but it's separate from the car, maybe. Gotcha. I love that it still looks like a toy, not unlike the RX Express plane.

"Magna Boots"? Ooo~. Is that what the name of these shoes are. Very on the nose!

Wow, the trailer's showing the kids freeing their parents, way to spoil the whole movie! /j

Nah, this is a family movie, of course they're gonna free their parents, what did you expect? Besides, the trailers for Spy Kids 1 also showed the kids freeing their parents. Kinda (it's actually two completely different scenes edited together to look like a rescue). So it's not that big of a deal than, say, the Ruby Gillman: Teenage Krakken trailers that did spoil everything (seriously, just let the creators put together trailers for their own movie! Rodriguez did!)

Don't worry, I don't blame you for experiencing VR, it can make people nauseous. /hj

This is new.

But also, see, Spy Kids 3? You can have the entire family in a video game without capturing or "elsewhere"ing them or reduce them to cameos! /hj

Oooohhh, myyyy Gooood!! This is a beautiful shot! 👀

And here we have the main villain, Rey "The King" Kingston! Now what are you gonna be like, my guy? Definitely note-taking from the Toymaker, I see.

SURPRISE!

🎵Sail away, sail away, sail away🎵

Whoa! The skeletons were moving in a stop-motion-like manner, ala Jason and the Argonauts! That's a neat reference to both that and Spy Kids 2. Animating technology sure has improved.

What a way to end the trailer, huh?

"Only on Netflix September 22nd" Oh frick, the movie is in 11 days already?? Sheesh, that was quick, I better mark my calendar!

So once again, this trailer has gotten a very contentious response from people. For me, I'm still excited to see this when it comes out! (though I may or may not watch it outside of Netflix, cough)

My hopes from my previous post seem to be holding up: - They seem to be getting creative with the gadgets again! - No title puns or fart jokes were said at all in the trailer, so far, so we may still be safe. - Tony and Patty's chemistry is pretty funny so far, reminding me of Gumball and Darwin's chemistry with Anais (from The Amazing World of Gumball). - The villain and the enemies look fun. Can't wait to see what they bring! - The parents seem fun so far, even if I would've preferred other actors to portray Nora and Terrence than.. the actors that we got instead..

What are your thoughts on the trailer and hopes for Spy Kids: Armageddon? Once again, please let me know! ^^

any tips on building cottagecore esque stuff?

Hi!!! This is long apologies in advance.

So there are a lot of different takes on cottagecore.

Beyond interpretations of romanticized rural and farm lifestyles, Cottagecore aesthetics tap into many rustic and rural concepts. Cottagecore explores and draws inspiration from the existence of witches, gnomes, or fairies. As such, the concept of Cottagecore is centered around ideas of a simple life in harmony with nature. (source)

Personally for me, in Minecraft I feel like it's a mix of structures that feel old, cozy, and lived-in, with some plants and greenery strewn about, in addition to an emphasis on small details such as a well-tended garden, personal decorations, or anything else that just says "comfy" and "home." A lot of the builds you'll make for this can be functionally aesthetic, like a tiny well, or can be just purely for decorations like popping custom mushrooms around your base~!

You can probably re-create cottagecore builds in any typical minecraft style, but personally I tend to do a mix of whimsical, fantasy, and medieval style builds with cottagecore, and sometimes a touch of fairycore, overtones.

So I'll give you the same kinds of tips I give others on building.

Use a reference if/when necessary. I personally use concept art, video games, real life architecture, and my own drawings for references when possible. Use pinterest, tumblr, YouTubers, etc., as inspiration for you!!! Just make sure if you're posting or you're going to make a video on it, you credit who you were inspired by~!

Change to a texture pack for your single player world that fits the tone of what you're trying to achieve. I personally use Mizuno's 16 Craft and additional add-ons in my hardcore survival world as it has the tones and textures on the blocks that make me feel like I'm living in a cottagecore world. Perhaps this texture pack - or others - will work better than traditional vanilla for you, but it is entirely possible to have cozy, heartwarming builds in vanilla too~!

Add leaves. Add trees. Add gardens. Add window treatments-flower boxes, pots, lanterns. Build aesthetic fields, well-worn foot paths, greenhouses, apiaries... Instead of putting your cows in 20+ spruce fences, take the time to make them an actual enclosure- you can do it with stones or wood~! Decorate it with grass, and hay bales. Plant some wheat inside of it~

I tend to use a lot of wood, stone, and neutral toned blocks for my builds. Usually I will take liberties with color on the roof, though it's entirely possible to do colorful houses in the cottagecore style (especially with the warmth of the terracotta block!)

Have fun and BUILD what YOU LIKE~! Doesn't matter if it's not functional. Doesn't matter if it's not accurate. Doesn't matter if no one else likes it. I would have never gotten better at exploring this style if I didn't try, so try and have FUN with it!!

The build above is something that was inspired by the photo on the right, I was really trying to recreate this blacksmith + house in my world. As you can see, I kept similar elements like the main structure having a tower, and the forge/furnaces being on the small side building. However, I also tried to keep it to scale of the other builds in the small village I am (was?) working on at the time- so it's much narrower.

In the front, I chose to add a market stall canopy leading into an open-market for my blacksmith to sell their wares, and the entire build is covered in overgrown leaves. Though these things in and of themselves don't make it ~cottagecore~ alone to everyone, it's a very cozy, comfortable vibe (to me) which I relate to cottagecore.

Some people may feel more connected to things typically reflecting homes you may find in a quaint village or rustic English countryside. Some are impractical, like a hollow old tree stump or a giant overgrown mushroom. These four images are just various things I've built in my time as a content creator and Minecraft enjoyer that I felt super connected to~!

The above two thumbnails are from my hardcore series over on YouTube, (ep. 3 out tomorrow!) where I'm building my entire base as a series of small builds to make up a larger area, rather than a mega base! I am effectively trying to combine everything I've learned about building in my last few years to create builds that combine these styles and emphasize coziness and aesthetics!

Hopefully this all made sense and sorry this is so long!~

#frog answered #way too long #i'm sorry #did it even make sense #wow tho look my builds have gotten so nice ?? over time ??#when did that happen

hey! I have been meaning to get xkit for a while now and you seem to be well versed, any advice, pointers, or places where to look? the new layout is hell for my brain to navigate

hey! and yeah, i've been using xkit since at least 2014

it's been through a lot of updates and changing hands as people have stopped working on it and new people have started, but they've kept it called xkit for conveniences sake

the most recent version, the one that's still updating, is xkit rewritten, this is a fairly bare bones version in that it's solely about fixing things staff have done to the website + adding accessibility options - this extension will show up in your browser extension toolbar and can be modified from there. this doesn't have a fix yet to fix the twitter layout (i'll get to that), but its most recent update was fixing the fact that you can't click on urls to go to specific posts anymore - if you look under tweaks, and "restore links to posts in the post header" (or worded along those lines, on mobile atm), that'll fix that. and feel free to have a playaround with the other stuff it can do!

new xkit is the version that existed before that - this shows up as an additional icon in the tumblr header (or now the sidebar for the twitter layout). a lot of people will say don't get this, i honestly don't see a problem with it, but this was the xkit that existed for a long time and used to have extensions that modified the website just for fun, rather than solely to fix it. this version is no longer updating and it lost about half its extensions in the process, but the ones that remain still work fine, and if you care for something more whimsical, there's a couple fun extensions left, plus i just find the customisability of extensions easier with this

(new xkit and xkit rewritten can be used at the same time, and i have been using both since i got xkit rewritten - but if you only want one, xkit rewritten is definitely the way to go)

now, if you want to actually fix the twitter layout, xkit isn't what you need, there's two options for that

i use stylus, and this extension, which has so far been working fine for me (minus one slight issue in menu sizing that i fixed with a single line of code, i'll throw details to that in under the cut if it happens to you)

i'm also aware of dashboard-unfucker, which uses a different browser extension, i haven't used this personally, but i know some people have had better luck with it than stylus, so feel free to have a playaround and use what works for you!

(and the author does have a note added in that this version of dashboard unfucker only works with xkit rewritten, it has problems with new xkit, so if you wanna go this path keep that in mind)

but yeah, you should be able to find some combination of extensions that works for you, feel free to get back in touch if you're struggling to install anything, and good luck in your journey of modifying tumblr!

okay so the issue i was having is i think this extension was designed on a very specific screen size, and i'm assuming one smaller than my desktop screen? so it ended up making the menus up the top super wide when opened

i'm not a css expert (honestly if anyone who is knows how to make the other new icons that i don't care about disappear, and realign what's left back over to the right, would love to know how to do that), but i researched enough to add this line in

if you open stylus once this is installed, click manage, and then select tumblr.com, you should be taken to the source code and be able to edit it

around line 281 (after you install it, the preview version has more stuff added in) there's a section titled "Moves the menu so it appears over the top and not in the header", and several lines of code underneath that

somewhere in that list (doesn't matter where as long as it's in the brackets, i've put it under max height for organisation) add "max-width: calc(20vw);" in on a new line (minus the quotation marks, but make sure you keep the semicolon)

basically that just checks the width of your screen and tells the menu it can't be wider than 20% of the screen, which works for me, feel free to change that number according to what works for you, i find stylus very easy to modify, you just hit the save button (i don't think you even have to reload the page, but try doing that if it doesn't work) and it'll make the changes
