Look I love hurt comfort, but only fictional. XD

I’m 100% sure this is what he was thinking about…

These eggs are the last brood of my life cycle. My husband has risked his life to carve out an existence for us on the only planet that is hospitable to our species. We fought too hard and suffered too much to resign ourselves to the extinction of our family line.

A message to Twitter users coming to tumblr: a message from your local duel-hellsite citizen

So, I’ve seen a ton of Twitter users talking about making and sharing their new tumblr blogs, to escape Elon Musk’s “anti censorship” bullshittery. First of all: welcome! I know it’s looking bleak over there; especially for trans people. But, now that you’re here, I’m here to tell you all about tumblr etiquette, how this website works, and how it’s different from Twitter. Because you can’t come onto here acting like it’s Twitter, lest The Beast get to you.

First, here are a small handful of tips and tumblr facts!

Your likes and who you are following are automatically set to public. You can make them private in your settings!

You can block tags from the settings, too.

There are lots of bots on here. If you’re not careful, you could be mistaken for one! The main way you can avoid this is changing your icon and header from the defaults. Adding a bio helps too!

You can queue and schedule posts so that your account posts throughout the day.

Like Twitter, tumblr has a radical feminist and TERF problem. However, they’re pretty easy to spot. There are lots of guides out there to help you learn how to spot tumblr TERFs!

Tumblr, for the most part, does not have any celebrity or brand accounts.

Your tumblr follower count is private.

You can have multiple accounts with the same email, and they’re very easy to switch between! These are called “sideblogs”.

Your main page is not a “timeline”. It is a “dashboard”!

You can have a custom desktop theme using HTML! Think like ye olde MySpace days. There are tons of pre-made tumblr themes available, if you’re not already proficient in HTML; including free ones!

Now, let’s talk tumblr etiquette and how it’s different from Twitter. You’re a tumblr user now! It’s time to start acting like it!

Don’t just like posts. They don’t increase visibility whatsoever. The way that you can help posts that you like is reblogging them to your blog. Especially for art!

We don’t say “oomfs” or “oomfies”. Just “mutuals” is fine, thanks!

Adding onto a post with pointless comments is frowned upon. If all you have to say it “this is so true,” or something else to that effect, you should put that in the tags of your reblog.

Most people don’t have carrds or rentries on here. Some of us do, but it’s not an obligation like it is for Twitter.

Similarly, we don’t censor words like “die” and “death”. Posts about wanting to brutally murder people in power go viral all the time, and it’s completely allowed. I’m serious! Enjoy your newfound freedom!

Blocking isn’t a big deal here. Get rid of any weird notion you have that morality is linked to blocking certain people.

But lastly, and most importantly:

Drop your discourse at the door.

If you try to post about most of the things that Twitter users discourse about, you will be laughed off the site. Especially Twitter LGBT+ discourse. Posts actively mocking topics of Twitter discourse go viral on here regularly.

Tumblr has mostly healed since its discourse-ridden days, and it’s now much more chill. Of course, discourse still happens, but it is so easy to avoid now. For a lot of us, tumblr is the last pleasant social media site left, so don’t ruin it.

Here is a list of discourse-related things that tumblr users don’t do:

Most of us don’t do callout posts, unless it’s something actually serious (like that one blog that had a human slave).

Everything that you heard on Twitter was “exclusive” to certain LGBT+ groups is used by just about everyone on here. Bi women use the double venus symbol on here. You’ll just have to learn to live with that.

In particular, I want to emphasize how much we don’t do flag discourse. To the point that somebody caring about flag discourse of any kind is how we tend to identify an ex-Twitter user.

On here, you will never have to see another slur discourse post again, unless you actively seek it out.

You’re free.

You’re welcome. And enjoy your time on here! If you have the time, please consider watching StrangeÆons’ Tumblr Etiquette Manual on YouTube, as well.

some depression tips:

Get several water bottles, fill them all up together, that way you’ll only have to get up once to have plenty of water for the day. Hydration is super important.

Get a Depression Bag prepped on your clear days. Put food in it. No perishables/cold stuff obviously, but things like crackers, canned food, chips, a loaf of bread + spreads, cookies, even some fruits + vegetables (just make sure you eat them either way before they go bad.) If needed, you can hide this bag in your room.

Bring a bowl, a toothbrush and some toothpaste into your room. Use a little bit of water over the bowl to wet the brush so you can clean your teeth. Other hygiene doesn’t matter, but you only get one chance with your teeth. Just clean your teeth and you’ve succeeded, well done, very proud of you!!

Try go outside or do something stimulating. I know, I know, some days you can’t and it is absolutely okay to just exist, but a lot of the time I find I get stuck in a cycle of misery and I actually feel better if I get out and do something different, even just going for a short walk can clear my head a bit. If you live close to a town, watch a movie, go and look at flowers in a florist’s, go to a bookstore and browse. If you can’t leave the house, download a new app that can work your brain a little bit (Duolingo worked best for me.) There’s also plenty of mental health apps out there that may help!!

Open your window (if it’s not too cold), fresh air will help, even just a little bit.

Remember that it’s okay, you are okay. All you have to do is stay alive. That’s it. Nothing else matters. Just stay alive. You are so much stronger than you know, I believe in you, I love you so much and I am so, so proud of you. 💕💕💕

The Kyoshi novels are worth the read if ONLY for the brilliant world building of FC Yee. Most importantly, the extended lore about the Air Nomads.

It's so beautiful and painful to read about how the Air Nomads lived and were perceived by others before the genocide. You know that famous post that said that Sozin killed the very embodiment of fun when he killed the Air Nomads? Well, it was also so much more.

Air Nomads were beloved and considered good omens in most parts of the world. A blessing from a monk or a nun was considered a rare gift by people.

No stupid rules of hierarchy and manners applied to them. People of all ranks freely approached them without any formalities, which is huge given how elaborate the traditions and manners of the other nations were (what a breath of fresh air for them, huh?)

People would stop fighting because of the mere presence of an Air Nomad, out of respect for their teachings. Sightings of sky bison were every child's dream, and the Air Nomads always passed by with cheerful waves and smiles for them.

In the original show, we know that Aang travelled a lot as a child and had friends like Bumi and Kuzon. Imagine the happiness of a small town when a bunch of giggling bald children visited. Imagine the special (vegetarian) snacks they would have prepared beforehand for them. Imagine the absolute chaos their own children would get up to with them.

Air Nomads resolved disputes. They carried messages to far off relatives for no cost. They were the link through which all of the nations communicated. They embodied fun, happiness, and hope.

this is what Sozin killed. And it may never be fully recovered, even after harmonic convergence in LOK. Something so important will be lost forever.

semi-contextless drawings from an RP between me and @mysticdoodles. We basically played out the entirety of that first night when the transformation happened in ““Coffee Shop AU””, and I just REALLY like how these look. Might post the RP later, if y’all are interested in reading it and if Myst is ok with it.

Yes, they have been sitting like this the whole day.

Quill: I’m Peter Quill. People call me Star Lord.

Peter: wait Peter Quill?

Quill: yeah? what?

Peter *who watched a buzzfeed unsolved about his disappearance*: oh my god.
