WELCOME TO TUMBLR ✨ ✨
(I can't control who sees this so if you're not a new user just ignore me lol)
See unlike all the haters on this hellsite (no offense meant i love you) i recognize that tumblr.com kinda needs its userbase to increase if it's going to survive long term
anyway for that reason i've been building out this sideblog as a resource to new/returning tumblr users :)
❓ what is this blog???? you may ask
i reblog posts i come across that provide insight into Tumblr's...
history - changes in functionality and trends over time
culture - inside references, esoteric memes, and general believes
meta discourse - dialogue about the state, development, and future of this hellsite (affectionate)
anyway if you're new, consider this your welcome pamphlet.
no i'm not saying you should follow me, just that if you're so inclined, feel free to scroll until you're overwhelmed and decide it's not worth the effort and leave the website altogether wait no that's not the point of this bl--
Also just wanted to plug real quick that if you wanna filter through my reblogs, I use the following tags:
#tumblr functionality - how does tumblr work, how do you accomplish a certain task, what are its features, what are its bugs, etc.
#tumblr history - discussion/referencing events or iconic posts from tumblr's past
#tumblr etiquette - basically all those do's and don't's people keep making lists of for some reason
#tumblr culture - anything related to the nonsense we pull here (like tumblr holidays or the fact that your post gaining thousands of reblogs isn't an accomplishment but actually you being the victim of a coordinated attack)
#tumblr meta - posts about tumblr.com as a website or company, generally. if i reblog a post from staff there's a good chance it goes here.
#inside jokes/memes - i try to avoid posting these because the question of what's iconic enough to qualify is so subjective, but certain memes (eeby deeby, lil wayne's clop clop clop, do you love the color of the sky) certainly deserve to be mentioned because you will see them referenced at some point
#welcome to tumblr#bestie#lesson 1 you can't have 'tumblr' in your url#hence my calling it 'tmblr'#lesson two quotation marks don't really work in tags#that's why i like to use apostrophes instead#ok rad#my main is turningvioletviolet so if you do want to follow me go there#or if you want to yell at me for not shooing away all the twitter users then yeah go there instead#yell at my face not my sideblog#ok thx byeeee#tumblr functionality#tumblr history#tumblr etiquette#tumblr culture#tumblr meta#inside jokes/memes#welcome2tmblrbestie meta

do you have any tips on writing? i wanna start my own blog and start writing, but im not sure where to start and how to make it sound good.
ofc! i do wanna preface by saying i’m by no means an expert, and when it comes to writing (or any form of creative expression) a lot of it is very subjective, so there’s not really any set standard for your writing to be considered “good” outside of basic writing/grammar rules! that being said, here are some things i do!
first just a few basic rules:
1.) start a new paragraph each time someone different is speaking
e.g. “What’s that?” she asked, tilting her head in the direction of the other room.
He squinted, taking a moment to listen carefully before another dull thud echoed through the door. “Not sure,” he replied. “Let’s check it out.”
2.) when seperating dialogue, don’t capitalize dialogue tags, treat the text in quotations and outside of quotations as if they’re the same sentence. this is one i didn’t learn until quite recently actually…😭
e.g. “Oh my God,” she muttered. “Why are you so difficult?”
The exception to this would be if the dialogue is seperated by a different sentence!
e.g. “Oh my God.” She was clearly fed up, running a hand down her face with a huff. “Why are you so difficult?”
3.) when a character is quoting something within their dialogue, don’t use quotation marks (“”), use apostrophes (‘’)
e.g. “He told me “do what you want”, so I will.” (this is wrong)
“He told me ‘do what you want’, so I will.” (this is right!)
as for writing tips, these are just some things that i personally do when i write! they’re not necessarily the right way to go abt it, so only follow the advice you want! i also talked a bit abt motivation here
include actions w dialogue! this can keep things from getting monotonous (like a constant back and forth of “he said” “she said” with little in between) and can also emphasize what the characters are saying! for example, instead of writing “he replied dismissively” you could say “he replied, giving a dismissive wave of his hand” or instead of “she said in exasperation” you could say “she rolled her eyes as she spoke” just little things like that to enhance the dialogue. ofc, keeping it simple is necessary sometimes so don’t overdo this!
that brings me to another point, adverbs aren’t bad (i use them a lot!) but sometimes what ur trying to say could be better expressed with just one word. it can get a bit repetitive if things are always described like “said awkwardly” “laughed loudly” “touched softly” etc. you might be able to find a word that gets the point across better. for example, “said irritably” could be “huffed”, “walked casually” could be “sauntered”, “smiled brightly” could be “beamed” and so on. but there are plenty of cases where adverbs are super useful so definitely don’t avoid them altogether!! i just try to make sure i dont use a bunch in a row
simple dialogue tags like “said” “asked” “replied” are your friend!! don’t avoid using them just bc they might seem generic hehe esp if you’re substituting them w verbs that are less appropriate simply for the sake of not using “said”
sometimes, you’re better off not including dialogue at all! like the whole premise of “show, don’t tell”, spelling out every last thing for the reader can sometimes work against you. body language and cultivating an atmosphere is key here! if it’s an awkward situation, you could bring up someone averting their eyes, shifting from side to side, playing with their fingers etc. if it’s a serious situation, you could mention their tensed shoulders/facial expression, their jaw clenching, them pulling away when someone tries to touch them etc. that in itself tells a story! but once again, it’s just abt using methods like these at the right times. sometimes, exposition is necessary
if ur writing abt skz, or any muse really, i think including mentions of their features/habits makes it more fun to read! it can help immerse the reader if u bring up traits that capture the character’s essence, or speech patterns that capture their voice. it’s all fictional ofc and just based off our perception of them, but i like to write skz in a way that’s at least somewhat believable in accordance w their personalities! even little things like the way jisung talks through breathy giggles, binnie’s nose scrunches, how minho looks up when he’s thinking, or how jeongin ends his sentences with a cute nod sometimes. and ofc there’s physical details as well like binnie’s chin scar, chan’s dimples, hannie’s cheek mole etc
this one is probably obvious but paragraph breaks are very important!! both to prevent overwhelming the reader with a huge block of words, and for organizing events/building tension! a paragraph never strictly has to be multiple sentences, you can have a single isolated line of text if you want. timing paragraph breaks can be very effective for creating the right vibe! if something intense is happening, putting a break right after a serious action or putting a single line of dialogue on its own can make them stand out and really add to the drama of it all hehe
don’t worry too much abt using the same word multiple times!! it might feel a lil annoying when you have to repeat a word several times in a paragraph but sometimes that’s the only option there is. if you try to replace it w 10 different synonyms instead of just referring to a book as a book, then it might end up sounding even goofier haha…so try not to stress when you feel like you’re overusing a word!
if you want your writing to be more immersive, take all senses into account!! describe more than just the character’s actions—describe sights, smells, sounds, touch, how the characters are feeling, etc!
arguably the biggest piece of advice i could give!! having varied sentence structure/length is one of the most challenging parts of writing in my opinion but so so important. when smth sounds off in your writing, it could very often be bc of the way a sentence is structured, or bc several sentences back to back are similar in length/format, which makes it flow awkwardly. i think making sure ur sentences range from long, detailed ones w several clauses, commas, semicolons, em dashes etc. to short, direct ones keeps the writing engaging! sometimes combining 2 short sentences can make the flow sound better, and sometimes breaking down a long one does the same! it also makes it a lot more effective when you have a sudden short sentence amidst several longer ones, bc there’s a clear shift in tone! generally just try to avoid having an entire paragraph of sentences that go “she did this and then this. then she did this and then this. then she did this and said that.” the variety will work wonders for how it all connects together!
ofc there are some situations where you might be going for a certain feeling or tone w your writing, in which case it can actually be a useful tactic to have repetitive sentence length/structure. maybe you want a scene to feel overwhelming w several long, complex sentences or you want to really drive in an idea by using blunt, disjointed ones. it’s all abt what you hope to achieve w your writing and your personal preference!
i hope this helps!! once again this isn’t the be all end all, so please only follow what you see fit! if you have any other questions let me know, i’m wishing you the best of luck! ^_^

Welcome! This blog is running a poll bracket between every single episode of M*A*S*H (excluding Goodbye, Farewell, and Amen). You can view the entire bracket here!
(other info below)
The Method
Each match in the first round has been randomly generated. I did it this way to have more of a variety between the episodes competing, instead of having episodes from the same season compete for a lot of the bracket. I could have also traditionally seeded it (so the "best" episode competes against the "worst"), but while I was up for running this bracket, I was not up for making a theoretical ranking of every single episode of MASH based on how popular it is on Tumblr. lol. That's what this poll is for.
Due to the sheer amount of matches in Round 1 (118 to be exact) I will be splitting it up into 4 groups of around 30 polls. I will also be splitting Round 2 into two halves.
Also, 10 episodes (again, random) will not appear in Round 1 and will instead be inserted into Round 2. This is due to the number of matches in Round 1 not splitting up completely evenly. (i'm glad there was the Challonge website to set up the bracket for me, it would have broke my brain otherwise)
Most episode descriptions are from Hulu. Some are from Wikipedia or IMDB if I didn't think the Hulu description was very good.
Why I'm Not Including GFA
I feel like GFA is on another level compared the regular episodes of the show, since it's basically a movie and does the task of wrapping up 11 seasons of one of the most popular shows ever made. And to be honest, I think it would be the obvious winner and be unfair to the rest of the competition. The point of this tournament to me is to determine what people's favorite regular episodes of MASH are.
Navigating the Blog
Every poll is tagged with the episode names (no punctuation except for apostrophes), the seasons of both episodes, and the round number. If you want to vote for a specific episode, theoretically you should be able to search the episode name, but if Tumblr's search function is being... itself, you can use this url: https://mashpoll.tumblr.com/tagged/episode name
Sending Propaganda
As you've probably seen in other tournaments, feel free to send "propaganda" supporting your favorite episodes. I'll be posting them without a response/commentary to try and keep it unbiased. I'll also tag it with "propaganda" so you can filter it if you just want to see the polls.
What's my main?
I'd like to try to remain semi-anonymous. I say semi-anonymous because I have posted about this poll on my main, so you can probably figure it out pretty easily if you're already following me.

🎃 meta knight x reader nsfw, get creative 😳😳😳
Ofc!! I ceeertainly did get creative lmao. No inherent smut, but is somewhat implied! Also also, the spelling mistakes in the text messages are all on purpose! Here's the link on ao3, and I hope you enjoy!
Meta Knight x Reader - Can't Sleep? (Semi-NSFW)
It was incredibly late at night.
And you still couldn’t sleep.
You glared at the ceiling of your bedroom, finished with shifting around to find new ways to become more comfortable. No matter what you did, you just couldn’t go to sleep. And it was annoying the fuck out of you.
“Ugh…” You rubbed your face, leaning over to grab your phone to squint at the time. It was three in the morning. “Lovely…”
After a moment, you opened up the messaging app, staring blankly at it. You were bored, and likely weren’t going to go to sleep… Would anyone else be awake right now? Would your boyfriend be awake?
You slightly giggled to yourself while beginning to write a message to him, half delirious from sleep deprivation.
You: Hey, are you awake?
You stared at the screen… and stared… and stared… before eventually pouting. Oookay, it seems like Meta Knight was not awake.
Clicking off the messaging app, you instead went to play a mobile game to busy your mind, having nothing better to do.
As you immersed yourself in the mobile game, the minutes seemed to drag on. The glow from the screen illuminated your face, casting a bluish tint across the room. Your mind was still buzzing, refusing to succumb to the beckoning of sleep.
Just as you were engrossed in a particularly challenging part of the game, a soft chime signaled an incoming message. Startled, you quickly switched back to the messaging app to see who had messaged you.
Knighty-Knight: Can’t sleep?
You groaned, looking at the nickname you had set for him– and totally didn’t forget you had put him as that. You took a moment to respond, not bothering to put apostrophes or periods at the end of the message. Auto correct can be annoying, so you turned it off for the messaging app.
You: Nooo, I couldnt and I dont know why either. I had a busy day. I did stuffs. All things considered I should be tired
You: Also, what took you forever to respond?
Knighty-Knight: I was doing something. And, perhaps you need to wear yourself some other way.
You: busy doin what.? Playing with yourself?
When it took him a while to respond, you giggled to yourself.
You: You usually aren’t up this laaate
Knighty-Knight: I was fixing up my armor.
You: why Did it need fixing up
Knighty-Knight: Sparring got a little too intense and ran later than it usually does.
You lowered your bottom lip, feeling bad for Kirby. The poor boy needed some rest– Meta Knight has been running him dry lately.
You: You need to take that boy to an ice cream parlur
You: parlor? However its spelt
Knighty-Knight: Parlor.
As you continued your conversation with Meta Knight, the late-night banter brought a playful element to your otherwise sleep-deprived state. Despite your exhaustion, you couldn't help but smile at his responses.
Knighty-Knight: You really need to sleep.
You: i caaant. I really cant. It
You: oops sent that early- it sucks that i cant go to sleep like a normal person.
Knighty-Knight: It’s four in the morning. I’ve been talking with you for nearly an hour. We need to find a way to get you to go to sleep.
You: Aren’t you sleeby? Dont you have to wake up at like five?
Knighty-Knight: Yes & yes.
You made a face, feeling guilty for making him stay up like this. If you had known that he was getting ready to rest for the night, you wouldn’t have messaged him.
You: Go beeeed. I shouldn't have texted you
Knighty-Knight: I was waiting for you to use an apostrophe.
Knighty-Knight: …But, I was having sleeping difficulties too. I’m so tired, but I can't sleep. Besides, you didn’t bother me any. I was finishing patching up my armor.
You: Maybe there’s something we both can do to wear ourselves out?
You stared at the wall thoughtfully, wondering what you and him could do while so far away. You doubted he’d come over to your place when it’s so late and cold outside…
Knighty-Knight: Did you have anything in mind?
You: uhhh
You: sexting
Knighty-Knight: You’re horny right now?
…Slowly, you pouted deeply, now embarrassed.
You: Well i coould be horny if we seeexted
Knighty-Knight: How
Knighty-Knight: How does one sext?
You made a high-pitched noise, squirming around like a worm while a deep sense of embarrassment pierced your soul. After a second longer you took in a breath, steadying your mental fortitude.
You: Ooh you’re so sexy and i bet you have a fat cock
You stared at the message before whining. “Oh my gooosh I– I’m never going to look him in the eyes ever again.”
He took a long while to respond, the three dots disappearing and reappearing every so often. Eventually, he sent a text back.
Knighty-Knight: You’re the most wonderful person I’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting. If I could, I’d meet you a thousand times over just so we can make new memories.
“Aww.” You lowered your bottom lip, rereading his message a few times. It wasn’t really sexting, but it was very thoughtful. Though, when you glanced back up at your message, you busted out laughing. Oh, you had such a way with words at four in the morning.
You: I love you too.
There was a long pause– to the point where you thought he had finally gone asleep. Though, after a while longer, the three dots showed up at the bottom once more.
Knighty-Knight: What’s the point of sexting?
You: To… get horny and masturbate ig
Knighty-Knight: I was supposed to be masturbating this entire time?? Were you masturbating?
Laughter bubbled up in your throat once again. You’ve only had sex with Meta Knight once or twice, but he was always such a bean when it came to things of that manner.
You: Noo, I was am not masturbating
You smiled, rereading the last few messages and feeling relatively light and happy.
You: I dont think this sexting this is gunna work. Ik you gotta get up early but do you wanna come over and help me go to sleep?
There was a long bout of silence in the textual conversation, and you began to get slightly nervous and guilty. Maaaybe you shouldn’t have asked that of him. And, it sounded just a little sexual– you highly doubted he wanted to have sex with you, then go straight to work right after since it would be right about five in the morning by that point.
Just as you were about to text him back, he responded.
Knighty-Knight: Of course. Give me ten minutes.

Lineland
[ID: Lineland, a white line with Linelanders in it as shorter colored line segments inside of it. The Linelander on the far left is blue with both endpoints (eyes) as lighter blue, the one on the middle is light orange with darker endpoints, and the last and rightmost Linelander is pink with only one endpoint colored a darker pink. /End ID.]
Lineland. There isn't much to say beyond their singing, is there? How else could life persist? Well.. i have a few thoughts i've been thinking on Lineland and it's inhabitants. Not very complete or coherent, but fun bones to gnaw. Also some fun placeholder not-very-developed Lineland conlang words. I like using apostrophes in conlangs, sorry.
I'm allowed a bit of "its kinda magic" on some of these because, you know, 1d world.
Linelander dimorphism.
The 'females' aren't actually points. They're called points because they only have one eye (which qualifies as one point, in contrast to the 'male' that has two eyes/endpoints)
they can still look at both directions. They'll usually default to one side (the soprano to the left and the contralto to the right?) but can simply move their eye through their body
Lines are called "aauu'l" (front and behind face/two faces) and Points "aa'l" (front face/one face)
Color
Linelanders don't identify colors such as "green" "blue" etc. They instead see "front-color" (aa'ki) and "behind-color" (uu'ki)
All Linelanders are different colors but there's no way for them to know of colors beyond those that they see without trampling another Linelander or waiting for them to die to see what's beyond them and so on.
They don't see their own color even when their eyes are retracted inside of them - they can only see when their eye is exposed to air
Interactions of matter
Linelanders do eat! Where the food comes from, that's what I'm less sure of - likely the corpses of past Linelanders or other creatures of different lengths that coexist with them.
As said before, the eye of a Point can travel back and forth within the body.
Basically, an object can pass through another by swapping places with it - each cell swapping places with the other. This is easier when its a short thing trying to pass through, and also why it is pretty taboo to touch another Linelander outside of specific actions because passing through eachother is just a hassle because of said length.
Certain structures are harder to pass through (like it might take a bit longer for food to pass through the eye and then go really fast through the length of the stomach)
Linelanders always feed eachother (much like ants)
Miscellaneous things
The entire universe shrinks during their songs so that every Linelander alive is connecting with their neighbors at the same time, eye to eye (in the few seconds it takes, all Points take their eye from their front-side neighbor to their back-side neighbor), then it suddenly expands to give some constant space between all Linelanders (especially so that more can be born, even if they aren't even born near their parents)
That's why they can reproduce from so far away.
They sing by moving their eye (or eyes) through their bodies
#flatland#well more like..#lineland#lonely flatlander hours#described images#speculative biology#technically?

This cerulean dome place is horrifying. But we have a prophecy to fulfill, so we'd best get to it.
Enthusiastically, yes. Sovereign Headmistress and Supreme Lunar Abbess Valere of Zenith Academy at your service. Also, this is Zale; He is a blade dancer.
Are you the last of a forgotten race? Because we're supposed to be meeting someone here that meets that description....
Perfect. You are exactly what we're here to find.
So, uh, how are we doing this, TIA? You got a jar we can put this little guy in or what? Yoyo said that their unbreakable will is the key to figuring out your big alchemy secret so, like... maybe you're supposed to use them as an ingredient or something. I don't know alchemy.
Your name is Best? Fuck me, that's way better than mine. You win this round, little wispy cloud.
Are you an Ovate? Or, like, whatever this timeline had instead of Ovates? Which might just be Ovates because these are timelines, not wholly distinct multiversal realities, so there's no reason they can't share mythologies at least up to a certain point but also no reason that they have to either.
What was its original purpose? Actually, don't tell me. We left a friend in Repine that you can tell instead, and then she'll tell me. It's better for everyone that way.
Oh, okay, never mind. That's super simple.
Wait, why was that necessary? Did you screw up your climate somehow? Too many fossil fuels?
That's sort of like having a facility whose sole purpose is to purify the atmosphere and prevent the apocalyptic build-up of deadly toxins. It's good to have clean air to breathe but it also raises some questions.
I like the sound of an evil machine. Evil machines can break if you hit them hard enough. If it was a Dweller, then we were going to have a problem.
Oh! That is convenient as hell. We need to disrupt the cloud cover, and also I promised Serai that we could do a hit on the cyborg guy, so that's a nice 2-for-1 deal.
Incidentally, does anyone know what exactly we're planning to do in the Sky Base? Because if we can bring the climate controls back online, I'm for it, but I'd be lying if I said I didn't love the thought of crashing it into the ocean.
Or into Fort Fleshy.
Actually, definitely into Fort Fleshy. If there's a way we could angle it as we're bringing it down for a controlled descent....
Hold up, what? Sorry, I was thinking about ballistic vengeance. What are we talking about?
You have to be an Ovate. You share their love of apostrophes. Speaking as a renowned Ovate scholar--
Zale: She listens intently to old myths and occasionally they mention Ovates.
--I have discerned that all Ovate names have an apostrophe somewhere in them, likely for the purpose of being fanciful. Others, such as myself, do not have apostrophes in their names, likely because the Ovates used too many and did not leave enough for the rest of us.
Right, you mentioned that this place is a container of some kind.
It's like a pickle jar, extending the shelf life of the souls contained within. And the pink smog could be the brine, keeping the souls preserved until they're ready to be prepared into....
I miss Garl.
In any case, pickling can preserve the souls but only so long as they're kept in the brine. Jar breaks, brine goes everywhere and the pickles are once more exposed to the natural processes of decomposition. Or vulnerable to the various forms of hungering dust.
But if we could put B'st in a little jar then maybe....
You even need to ask that after the stunt he just pulled? He is extremely talented.
Oh, but not so extremely talented, you know. Very Mortal, this guy. The Very Mortal Alchemist is what we call him; That's his nickname right there. There's nothing special about it.
You shouldn't, uh.... You shouldn't fixate on it too much. Be impressed, be very impressed, be so impressed in fact that you offer us whatever help you can but don't. Like. Don't pay too much attention to it, it's not that big of a deal.
...pay attention to me instead. I'm the superstar. He carries my luggage. That is the dynamic and there is nothing suspicious about it at all.
Wait, hold up, is that what you've been muttering about? Is Living Glass, like, a soul jar but it's a golem?
Not a problem for us. I'm totally down for a smash and grab. In fact, this one will be a breeze 'cause the owner isn't even home. We can make all the noise we want.
Oh sweet, Cedric's a lockpicker. That will save us a lot of trouble with our B&Es moving forward. I'm going to remember this, Serai.
You know. I've been thinking about this ever since we lost him.
Teaks once told me that Aephorul is such a cruel piece of shit because he's jealous of humanity's ephemerality. He covets our ability to burn out and die. It's what he and Resh'an been denied for all these long eons.
To a man like Aephorul, so envious and insecure, there is no greater affront than to burn brightly for the short time you have to live. Then, to blissfully extinguish, bathed in glory and in the love of the people who matter most to you. To live better than he ever could and then to die well, like he's barred from doing.
With that in mind, who really got the last laugh? Who really won, that day?
We're pouring this one out for you, buddy. And by "this one", I mean B'st. And by "pouring out", I mean "of the pickle jar".
I think you'd be proud of the work we're going to do.
Perfect. I've had a moment to be in my feelings and it was nice. It's always important to take time and process your emotions in a healthy way.
Now that I've done that, I'm ready to resume processing them in an unhealthy way. Let's go do some crime.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN! BOOGITY BOOGITY BOO
Beware... it is time once again for a post about something so frightening... in fact, one of the most concentrated entities of fright in all the Mario franchise! Behold...
Name: The Luigi’s Mansion logo
Debut: Luigi’s Mansion
This logo is made of GHOSTS! Nearly every letter, a ghost! We are so lucky that they are frozen in time, placated as they neatly form a stylish logo, but don’t forget that these are still ghosts, and they would love nothing more than to giggle at you! Will you giggle along? Let’s meet each of these ghosts, shall we?
L likes to take it easy and relax, which is why it is always seen sitting. All of these ghosts are cute, but this one in particular is acute, since it’s a bit smaller than a 90 degree angle! It may be the “leader” of this logo, but it is very casual, only a leader because they legally needed someone to fill that role, and everyone was comfortable letting it have it.
U has some very funky anatomy! The little nub on the bottom right is the base that it uses to stick to substrate, like an anemone, and also like an anemone, it can detach and reattach elsewhere. Branching off of this basal section is a long, curving neck, like a camel’s! U is so very good at looking around things.
I is just one of a set of mischievous triplets! The first one is the antsy, restless one, ready to jump about at any moment; the second is the most calm, remaining focused on the situation at hand; and the third is quiet, yet the most observant of all. They all play off of each other very well, and obviously boast something no one else here does, which is floating heads!
G is the first of these ghosts who has a mouth, letting out a ghostly wail at all times! In fact, it is strangely conventional, if you choose to interpret it that way, since it even has a tail! More shaped like a tadpole than a traditional ghost, but have you seen a ghost? Can you prove they are not shaped like tadpoles?
Apostrophe and S are really getting on my nerves here. They both coordinated that they would close their eyes for the big logo photo shoot! They know how important this was to every other ghost present, and thought it would be fun to sabotage it for a laugh. Let’s just move on, please.
M is marvelous! I love M! M might be my favorite, in fact! M has two big limbs that it walks about on, but its face is so low to the ground, and so low compared to its elbows especially! It is a gentle giant, and just wants to see what’s going on down there. What’s that? Ants down there? Delightful! M will watch them.
A is a strange little creature. It likes to trick us into thinking it also has a ghostly mouth like G, but it really has essentially the same anatomy as U, simply resting its longer neck on its shorter butt area! During the filming of this logo, the crew was pretty worried no one would fit their vision for the “A” character, but thankfully this clever specter came through with this little trick. What a treat!
Speaking of the same anatomy as U, N was thought to be the exact same species as U when its bones were discovered, but by consulting their spirits, we can see that N actually flips the entire anatomy vertically! This would have been more easy to deduce in hindsight if ghost eye sockets fossilized, but they do not. Like M, N has two limbs, but instead of slowly roaming the land, N uses its legs to gallop at high speeds!
Even though the previous S was a troublesome prankster, don’t let that cloud your judgement of the second S. This one just doesn’t have eyes! It’s an earthworm! The casting agency was getting pretty desperate for another wiggly ghost at this point, they just took what they could get.
O is the wailingest ghost in the west! When O died, and it arrived at the ghostly form customization facility, it said “Not much for me, thank you! I just want to wail.” And so, O is little more than the face of a ghost, but do you need any more? No! You do not.
Finally, we have the last N, and sorry that this one also has eyes closed. But it’s just had a very long day. This humble little N is responsible for ending the whole title, and that’s a big responsibility! It’s not a popular, charismatic leader like L on the other side, either. People like and respect N, sure, but they sort of underestimate it. It’s sort of treated like a child, even though every letter here is the same age, and this logo is in fact their class yearbook photo. So to N, getting to be the last one in the logo is a big deal! The other letters take notice, too, and things are looking up for N! It’s exhausting, though, and I really can’t blame it for needing to take a nap. N has made a lot of progress in its personal growth, and it can rest as much as it needs.
Wow. What a logo! A logo that is a bunch of some guys, I love it! Surely you can’t improve upon perfection, right?
You can! By adding additional funny guys! Get a load of this 2. Very nicely stylized, especially compared to the letters, making for an even more interesting creature!It looks like it’s got an anteater-like snout on the end of its big head, and a wonderful ghostly tail! 2 is like the team pet, an entity that the letters summoned in hopes of causing mischief, but it turned out to be a big lovable doofus with a heart of gold. Unfortunately, nothing about the original letters has changed here, so no comment there! Now, surely you can’t improve upon beyond perfection, right?
It’s up to interpretation! If you thought the one thing missing from that logo was edibility, then this one’s for you! You can eat this logo.
You may notice that here, each and every letter now has eyes, even those lacking them from before! HOWEVER. This does not change anything about our previously established cast of characters, because this is not them! This is all made of Goo, just like Gooigi. This is the Gooigi to the original logo’s Luigi. This logo’s name shall be Gooigi’s Mansion Logo.
There is even a real Ghostly logo, used as a preliminary version, so we can safely say that 3 is a real ghost character! It looks like 2 has grown up, now with a more robust tail that it has more adept control over! There is character development in these logos!
Now, would I eat the Luigi’s Mansion 3 logo? I hate to say it, but I would not. It LOOKS good, it would definitely be fun to eat, and in fact reminds me of the gelatin letters and numbers that I had from grocery stores when I was little, which were always delightful! Unfortunately, Goo is coffee flavored, and I do not like that flavor, so I would not eat this logo, and I would not eat Gooigi, either. I do wonder about that 3, though! It’s orange instead of green, suggesting a different flavor. Green in no way communicates “coffee”, so this could really be any flavor. It could be pumpernickel.
And finally, as a little bonus, let’s talk about the new chunk of letter ghost characters introduced in the Dark Moon logo. Trick or treat!
TRICK! These letters do not have eyes! Happy Halloween!!!

An alernative explanation, for people still wondering how "bloofer" becomes "beautiful" then simply read it in your best "Hewwo? Mistew Obama? UwU??" voice.
I'm going to vainly struggle to represent in IPA the way the kids are actually saying this.
ɓwʉ(ʏ/`)ɸa
Which if I'm using those symbols right, should sound something like "bwoofu'" or "byoo`fu"
The (ʏ) is in parentheses because I have no idea how to actually write in IPA, and that middle syllable is usually dropped by small children, people speaking quickly, etc, and replaced with a sort of glottal pause I don't know the name of.
So the transformation goes "Beautiful" > "Byootiful" > "Byoo`ful" > "Byoo'fa"
And when trying to render that into text that would create the same baby-talk impression, Stoker's use of "L" instead of "Y" or "W" is quite common in Irish transliteration, because "L" is pronounced contextually very differently in Irish.
Plus, using apostrophes the way I just did to identify the dropped syllable is wildly ungrammatical. It's applying contraction rules to simple words, and runs the risk of confusing readers if you haven't spent a whole essay explaining how to read the apostrophe as a pause. It's technically correct; as in, for technical applications, it is correct.
But since Stoker isn't writing a technical paper it's not a great choice.
So he went with "bloofer" I guess. It's a nonsense word, and if you already know the accent he's referring to, its a modestly comprehensible bit of baby-talk.
But!!!
Most of us have no possible way to reach the correct conclusion anymore!
This is why you have to be REALLY! GODDAMN! CAREFUL! about the way you use Funetik Aksents in text. Your readers probably don't speak like you do, and even if they speak like you now, they won't in another hundred years.

Hey Mara! I hope your day is going well. I was just curious about something, why do you use the colon and semicolon instead of the apostrophe in words? I hope this doesn't come off as rude, I'm just curious lol. Is it just apart of your writing style or is there another reason. Take care 🕊
hi anonymous; i:m sick, so about as well as a day can go despite being sick; i have a jp 107 key layout keyboard, and do not have the US english layout installed -- so (looking at the attached image) where the apostrophe key would normally be, instead there is a colon, & my apostrophe key is instead on shift+7; i don:t adjust my typing in casual typing because it:s not ergonomic to use shift+7 (+ it:s good habit to retain eng-us typing placement so i can type normally on non-jp keyboards if i have to), but i use apostrophes when i'm typing in more formal writing (like substack posts and what-not).
a smaller side reason is that i like that is 1+1 (. ., or :) as opposed to the singular , (1) because it helps my punctuation avoid threes, and for at-least my apostrophes i won:t have to worry about them adding up to three; a smaller side reason is it:s just become a character trait for myself that i like (this is part of the stubbornness of not installing eng-us-layout).
that:s about it; take care

em dash update
so, i tested correcting "do you see no ghosts in me at all?" because i'd rather do some tests on a 30 page document instead of a...130 page document like firewatch au.
the en dash/em dash thing on google docs is sort of strange, i can't really explain it in a non-confusing way. when you type in three hyphens (---) it autocorrects to the same length you get when you go to special characters and specifically insert the em dash. however, if you try to copy and paste the shorter en dash the double hypen (--) corrects to in the find and replace along with the triple hyphen em dash, they are the same length and google acts like it doesn't need to be replaced? so what IS the truth, google docs? is the double hyphen supposed to be an em dash then? then why is it shorter than the em dash in special characters?
ANYWAY. find and replace DOES work perfectly fine, you just have to specifically paste the three hypen (---) autocorrected version into it, instead of the copy and pasted version of the "proper" em dash. i do not know why this is. but it did work and now all of my fic has normal-appearing dashes and it didn't mess anything up.
oh, and i (mostly) corrected the spacing between italics and punctuation. you just have to make sure that any punctuation that is against an italicized word is also italicized. italicize those periods, apostrophes, and commas!!
ALL THIS TO SAY: "do you see no ghosts in me at all?" is now mostly corrected! it has normal, long, em dashes and no longer has spaces next to italicized words. very satisfying!
also, i'm still unsure why only AO3 desktop doesn't show the difference between en dashes and hyphens. I thought it might be a browser issue, since I use Firefox on desktop but my mobile browser is still chrome, but I just tested it on chrome desktop right now and it still shows them as the same length. HOWEVER, on my corrected version of "do you see no ghosts in me at all?" there is a visible difference between the hyphens and the em dashes, so basically the key to getting it to display correctly on ao3 desktop means not using en dashes and using correct em dashes instead
anyway, uh, i guess i will go slowly correct my published work. i think since find and replace works on google docs without messing anything up it will be easiest to just do that for my fanfics and then reupload the chapters/fics in the edit box. the edit box on ao3 has that preview button so i can make sure it looks right when updating without accidentally causing issues or deleting anything (my main fear when editing published ao3 works, lol)

Ii soogwachi deebiru!
Which means “Have a happy New Year” in Uchinaaguchi/Okinawan. Kind of. Like most translations, there’s a trade off between functional equivalency and literal meanings. In this case, I went with the functional version.
Here’s the literal one:
ii or yii: good*
soogwachi: first month (and by extension, the new year)
deebiru: is/will be**
So, “This is/will be a good new year” is a more literal translation.
* It’s very likely that both pronunciations being valid is related to why the word for “good” in Modern Japanese is ii or yoi, depending on context. I’ve done absolutely no research into this hypothesis, so take it with a grain of salt. I am a linguist, but I’m not a Japanese-Ryukyuan languages linguist; my specialization is second language acquisition and English language education.
** Kind of. Deebiru is 1 of at least 3 Uchinaaguchi copular verbs. A full explanation is probably beyond my ability at this point. If you’re familiar with Modern Japanese, this is similar to and a cognate with でございます. If you’re not familiar with Japanese, 🤷🏻♀️. Wish I could help, but I can’t at this time.
tl;dr Deebiru means “is” or “will be” here, but not necessarily elsewhere.
Bonus
Earlier today, a friend asked me why I use Latin characters to write in Uchinaaguchi instead of hiragana. Part of the reason is because it makes what I write accessible to Uchinaanchu/Okinawans who don’t read Japanese. The rest of the answer is because neither hiragana nor Latin characters are native to Okinawa; there is unfortunately no native writing system, and if I have to pick a colonizer writing system, I’m going to pick the one that doesn’t require weird hacks to make work with Uchinaaguchi phonology. There are a bunch of sounds that Okinawan has that Japanese doesn’t***, and there’s just no good way to write them in hiragana.
Example 1: “gwachi” (month) from the above “soogwachi” isn’t a possible word in Modern Japanese****. I’d need to write ぐゎち to get there, which is kind of goofy. If you don’t read Japanese, that’s like, “Say gu, but drop the u and add a wa, then say chi.” It’s silly, but not super complicated, which is why it’s only Example 1.
Example 2: ‘kwa (child) is pretty understandable for most folks used to reading Latin characters, aside from the apostrophe, which represents a glottal stop, which is the consonant in the middle of “uh oh” and between the Is of Hawai’i. Written in hiragana, it’s っくゎ, which will just straight up baffle most Japanese speakers, because っ is not an OK way to start a word.
Example 3: ‘nma (horse) is one step further, with an upsetting hiragana transliteration of っんま. Neither っ norん are supposed to go before a full syllable in Japanese, and here both of them are.
Example 4: But, wait. We can go one step beyond that! Nnna means “everyone,” and yes, all of those Ns are important; nna, ‘nna, and na are different words. Nnna could be written as んんな or っんな, neither of which will make anyone happy.
So, yeah. I write Uchinaaguchi using Latin characters because using hiragana just seems messy. And I like making what I know accessible to my fellow diasporic Shimanchu.
*** Modern Japanese has the sounds, but can’t use them the same way, because Japanese has a bunch of sound shifts (allophones). Like, はひふへほ are the H morae (syllables-ish), and are theoretically pronounced ha hi hu he ho, except hi and hu don’t actually exist, because the ‘h’ inふ is a bilabial fricative, which is kind of an F sound, but not, and the ‘h’ in ひ is kind of like a cat hissing at you. The S and T morae have similar things going on, with si, ti, and tu being illegal in Modern Japanese, and shi, chi, and tsu replacing them. Uchinaaguchi, on the other hand, is fine with si & shi, ti & chi, and tu & tsu. Still no actual hi or hu in either language, though. Kind of a bummer for me, but at least I get to hiss like a cat when I introduce myself.
**** It was in Old Japanese, though. Maybe Early Middle Japanese, too. I don’t know. I told you I wasn’t a Japanese-Ryukyuan languages linguist. I do know that /gwa/ was actually the Old Japanese pronunciation of ぐわ, making it interesting that /gwa/ is fine in Modern Okinawan, but not Modern Japanese.

I’m working on my au and I gotta ask, is the Salamandarian naming system ever kinda explained or no? Cause I wanna give names reminiscent of Mona’s joke planet and culture ;;
Something I really wish the writers did was explain Mona’s Salamandrian culture more. We never even get to see her planet, I really wish we had an episode where they go to Salamandria for their mission, but we never do. They tell us instead of showing us which annoys me.
As for coming up with names, I struggle with it too. I wanna write a fanfic involving a cameo from Mona’s parents but I can’t think of good Salamandrian like names for them that fit into the series. The naming system is never explained, but you kind of see a pattern with the four Salamandrian names that we were given in the show.
Y’gythgba
G’throkka
K’Vathrak
R’Kavaka
They all have an apostrophe right after the first letter of the name. Don’t know if this is a requirement when naming Salamandrians but it’s seems to be common.
More reasons why I wish the writers spent more time in space during S4 and got to cover more planets and get more info on how this universe works. The Salamandrains are a really cool concept that have a lot to offer if the writers just took their time and actually did something with them.
I getting off topic now, but for my fellow TMNT fanfic writers, here’s canon info we got from the show about the Salamandrian you can work in your fanfics.
They often shout the phrase “Rokka Rokka!”. It’s never clarified what it means, it could just be a chant to express one’s intense feelings (seems to only happen when they get angry or excited) or if it’s something like a verbal tic. 
According to Newtralizer, Salamandrian weapons and technology are consider to be “the deadliest in the 10 dimensions”, so on the same level or higher as the Kraang and the Triceratons.
They are carnivores and seem to have an appetite to eat smaller alien species like The Kraang. Newtralizer had been seen eating Kraang/Utrom and Mona has threatened Bishop that she will eat him.
They have been at war with the Triceratons for a long time, long before the Turtles got involved. (Again, 2012 writers why didn’t you use this fact for the S4 plot?)
Offering your hand to a Salamandrian is a sign of disrespect and challenging them to battle. It is called “The hand of combat”.
Salamandrians are tall, they can grow up to being 10 ft (as tall as a Triceratons), while the shortest we’ve seen them be is with Mona Lisa who is 6 ft.
Salamandrians seems to be very literal.
Their home planet has been attacked and invaded by Lord Dregg twice.
They are a battle loving, war driven, alien race. Fighting and going to war is a part of their culture. Mona mentions to Raph that being a Salamandrian means your life is “dedicated to battle and the honor of (your) people”.

I'm actually BREEZING through this Soos font, goddamn. This really does get easier the more I do it.
That being said, I might go through and tweak Dipper and Mabel's a bit in time. Maybe not NOW but there are some modifications I'd like to make to them.
Also I must be perfectly honest and transparent; while making their fonts, I've been using the free version of the site I got the template from, and this unfortunately limits how many characters I can include in the custom font.
My lack of foresight didn't see this as much of an issue when I was picking out the characters I wanted to use in each font, until I started writing out the journal pages and realized; I forgot to include custom apostrophes for both fonts.
This resulted in me either having to use their commas instead, or just straight up drawing them in. I do NOT want to have to do that going forward, it was such a tedious task to do.
So perhaps I'll bite the bullet when I get paid and spurge for the paid version of the site where I'll be able to include them in my fonts. Maybe I'll just swap a couple of the symbols I included out for them instead. Either way, I'll likely give the fonts some tweaks in the future! We'll see how much of that entails.
IN ANY CASE, Soos font is coming along nicely~! Maybe I'll even try my hand at the Stan font soon. After that...I should probably be done with custom GF fonts. None of the other characters had enough writing in any of the books I have (except for MAYBE Candy and Grenda, but that's a maybe and not as much of a necessity right now!), and I've already mentioned how Bill and Ford already have pre-existing fonts out on the Internet that I can use so there's no need to make one for them.
Dunno why I feel like updating all of you with this information, but this is actually such a fun hobby and it's really fun to use the fonts I lovingly crafted in my art!

Y'all ever noticed that in every single continuity Nubia get associated with a different Pantheon/God? It's really weird.
Pre-Crisis:
Nubia is Diana's twin who is kidnapped by Ares/Mars and raised to fight the Amazons.
Kay first off: Diana's evil Black twin? Really? Glad that pretty much immediately revealed she was only evil cause mind control and once that was broken she was one of the god guys, but why'd you do it the first place DC?
Pantheon: Greco-Roman, The tendency to treat the Greek and Roman names of Gods as interchangeable is something that annoys me, since there is over lap between the two but there's more nuance than that. But that's a personal annoyance that probably isn't going to go away anytime soon, so whatever. I am curious though, why is Ares/Mars always villain? Like obviously the answer is War Bad. But mythologically Ares is Hyppolyta's father. Wouldn't that be an interesting thing for DC to canonize.
Post-Crisis:
Many centuries ago Nu'bia won a contest like Diana did and became the guardian of Doom's Doorway. She crossed over to the other side and was never seen again leaving many Amazons with the assumption she was dead. In truth she lived in Hell for centuries and even became the lover of the god, Ahura Mazda
Sidenote: Why did they add an apostrophe to the middle of her name like that? Trying to make it sound more foreign or something?
Religion: Zoroastrianism, is actually still an active religion. Impressive considering it's almost as old as Buddhism though the number of practitioners is significantly smaller. Honestly, points for not doing a big name mythology. Seeing as I had never even heard of this religion before I don't dare speak to the accuracy of Ahura Mazda in this comic. But still interesting someone chose this out of all the possible options
Rebirth/Infinite Frontier:
Nubia came out of the Well of Souls around the same time Diana was born. And the two were especially close because of that. Nubia was selected to to become the guardian of Doom's Doorway like her pre-crisis counterpart, but she never goes missing. Instead she eventually becomes the queen of all Amazons. After this she starts having memories of her past life before she came through the well of souls. Which is how it's revealed she used to be a Madagascar princess named, Zahavah, training to become the avatar of Skehmet.
Honestly, wtf is this? Madagascar is is it's own country with it's own gods. There is absolutely no reason she would be worshiping a goddess from over 3000 miles to the north of her. This is just treating the entire continent of Africa like a monolith. And it's also annoying because there is an entire tribe of Egyptian Amazons who almost never get stories about the pantheon they are supposedly bound to.
Anyway, I know asking for consistency from DC is tall order especially with how minor of a character Nubia was until recently. I just think the constant pantheon shift is an odd detail to keep changing. Overall, it's a shame how underutilized Nubia is as a character. Especially since according to Wikipedia she's DC's first black female superhero. But how come in every major continuity they manage to make a decision that is not great? Evil Black twin is bad, but makes an unfortunate kind of sense, since it was the 70's. At least she showed some heroic traits while still mind controlled? Nu'bia is an odd little detail, but probably not that big of a deal? But damn if the Egypt/Madagascar thing does not annoy the hell out of me.
Seriously DC, why are you like this?
#dc#nubia#something i've been thinking about for a while#i needed to get it out of my head#feel free to ignore this

I wanna know more about *stares at list* hmmm…. Apostolos… sounds a bit like apostrophe, don’t you think?
Oh good choice! Apostolos isn’t someone we’ve seen a lot of, huh? He comes into play a lot later, and, like a bunch of characters, he’s not the best of guys right out the gate.
Apostolos was the first creation of Vincent, hence why he is the King of Angels, and kind of runs the Factions of Heaven. Vinny made him to be perfect, but he realized quickly that life cannot be completely perfect when Apostolos grew into a man of his own. To rob someone of their individuality is to make them perfect, in a sense, but Vincent could not do that to his creation because it just wasn’t the right thing to do. So, he learned that in an attempt to make him perfect, he ended up making him a perfectionist instead. Apostolos was tasked with the idea creation of all the other Factions of Heaven. He came up the Seraphim Leaders of the Wind Faction, Earth Faction, and Water Faction and Vinny created them for him. However, when it came time to create the citizens of Heaven, Apostolos refused to let the factions mingle. He wanted all of the bloodlines to be pure and for there to be a distinct separation between them all. Vinny was kind of disappointed by this decision, and he asked how Apostolos planned on any of them growing their factions without others to have children with. Well, in comes Hestia, a Greek goddess who had been watching Vincent’s and Apostolos’s work. She gave her input instead—being a kind and motherly woman who had a knack for how families worked, she was perfect. Apostolos fell in love with her as she helped out Vincent get a good reign on how to create the denizens of Heaven. She’s also the one who suggest that, since he had so much space in The Heaven, he could use it to kind of let souls after their reaping have a bit of relaxation and comfort for a short while in his utopia before going into Death’s Archives.
Hestia was grand. And she ended up falling in love with Apostolos when he praised her idea, but she was a bit reserved about the reasons behind it. She thought they were rather rude since Apostolos was viewing the souls as “lesser” than he was as a Seraphim. Apostolos’s need for organization also meant that there needed to be an organization or his species as well. Anyone that came directly from his bloodline would be a Seraphim. So, despite her reservations, Hestia had the classic “I can fix him” thought with Apostolos. She also thought he was very handsome so she was extra motivated. Vincent was like “if anyone can fix him and fix my mistake on him it’ll be her, yeah let’s let her stay” in hopes that Apostolos would indeed turn into a better man. The reflection of Vincent’s ability as a Creator goes hand-in-hand with Hestia’s attempts to help Apostolos failing. Vinny is just kind of too strong when though he doesn’t mean to be. Hestia made so many attempts trying to show Apostolos what love was and to feel compassion for others.
She gave him his first child, Idouma, when she attempted to test if having a family would soften his heart. Instead of loving him, Apostolos treated Idouma like a right-hand man and put incredible responsibility on his shoulder to increase the amount of Seraphim in the Fire Faction. Idouma didn’t want to, but he was taught to live up to his father’s expectations and so he was also molded into a rather cold-hearted individual. (Please keep in mind that even though all of Hestia and Apostolos’s children look around the same age, they’re actually quite far apart. Each son was fully grown before the birth of the next.)
Hestia tried again in her attempt to make Apostolos’s heart melt (for a guy on fire he was stone cold). She gave him another child, Aliquam, and she personally raised him away from Apostolos to try and prevent what happened to Idouma. But, thanks to Apostolos’s genes meant to be perfect, Aliquam instead became exactly like his mother. And, as such, he tried to also help his father become a better person. He loved his father so much and tried to change him like his mother had been trying to, but Apostolos found him annoying and pushed him away, neglecting him and labeling him as a disappointment because he didn’t turn out like his brother.
Hestia was getting really fed up at that point, but she eventually decided that she would give it one more try. One more chance. And so she gave him a third child. Third time’s the charm right? They had their third child and named him Xanthous. By then, Hestia found that all of her children were continuing the fire motif and she suggested Apostolos adopt the last name Fotiá. Apostolos didn’t necessarily care, which put a damper on her spirits, but she started calling them the Fotiá family anyway. Vinny overheard it, thought it was cute, and he dubbed them the Fotiá family officially. Hestia had learned from her two previous mistakes, and she urged Apostolos to raise Xanthous in tandem with her so there was balance. However, the discourse between them proved that they just could not do it. But Hestia was so resilient. She never gave up on her husband.
Xanthous didn’t even get a chance to grow up. He was given rules, he broke them, and Hestia really got to see how horrendous of a person Apostolos was. For disobeying his rule, Apostolos locked up his own son, tortured him for a century, then dragged him out in front of the entire community, chopped his wings off, and tossed him out of The Heaven. It’s like it wasn’t even a second thought for him. Everyone was mortified, and when Hestia found out what he was doing beyond the punishment aspect, she could not take it anymore. She left him, divorcing him and trying to take her children with her. Idouma, however, was too faithful to his father having been raised by him. Aliquam, being raised by her, was never going to give up on his father. So her children stayed behind, and Hestia attempted to leave that chapter of her life behind.
She still sees Apostolos around, but every time she does, she has a burning hatred for him and the fact that he does not care. Unfortunately for her, Apostolos does care. He does care, but it’s only about Vincent—and it’s for backwards and skewed reasons because he is his “god” and “creator” and he needs to make him happy. Vinny hates it. But he tries to love Apostolos because he was supposed to be his pride and joy. He loves him so much. But it’s so sad and it’s not the best…ughhh. However, Apostolos does eventually get better, and it comes from the love of a Fallen Angel from the Water Faction. The crazy story behind that might have to be saved for another time.
But there you go! I don’t think I’ll get to tell this story in my story, but even if I do you’ll probably get to see a bit more of how the characters interact with one another. This is as much as I can give without inserting too many spoilers though haha. Hope you enjoyed! Sorry it was so long.
