welcome to the shitshow

This blog will be focused on my many interests and spreading around positivity. Interests? My Hero Academia, One Punch Man, Persona 5, GODZILLA, and more! Wanna know more? just send me an ask! Content will also include chapters of my stories on Wattpad!

My intention isn’t to BOSS people around. But people who don’t create on tumblr really have to understand that if creators stop posting here, you won’t have anything else to like but maybe memes. If you want content to circle around to your dashboard... you have to pay it forward and reblog. That is why this website is dying. The Ban is not the only reason.

[nyctoheart]

And its like.... people dont even fucking realize how special tumblr is

Tumblr doesn’t have verified checkmarks. Tumblr doesn’t have an algorithm to you show ❝The Best Stuff❞. Tumblr doesn’t display how many followers you have. Tumblr isn’t obsessed with subscriptions. 

Tumblr is an even playing field compared to websites like Twitter, Instagram, and Youtube. Which means its up to us, the users, to spread the word of people we enjoy-- the way the internet should be.

I’m not asking you to reblog shit you don’t like. I’m not asking you to reblog everything out of pity. But when you see a post you genuinely like, reblog it.

[tywvin-archive]

I think so many people mistake the ‘you should reblog’ message with ‘I’m greedy and all I want is notes’ when it’s really not at all like that.

When creators say they’re discouraged from creating because their posts get no notes, they don’t mean they will refuse to create unless their last edit reaches at least 1k notes. What they mean is that the effort they’re putting into creating something purely out of inspiration and the need to share their passion and creativity with the world is being consumed and forgotten, just like it is on Instagram. Tumblr has changed from having an even reblog-like ratio, or even twice as many reblogs as likes, to being another social media where users consume content instead of sharing it.

We’re not trying to force you to reblog everything or want you to fill your blog with things you don’t like. But Tumblr is built on reblogs and likes. This is not a fast-food company where you can order something, consume it, and then throw it away. The very base of this website is sharing, as opposed to Instagram. Here, likes don’t give our posts exposure, reblogs do.

Notes are not the problem, the fact that you want new content without supporting creators is. So yeah, don’t be surprised if creators stop creating because nobody wants to share their creations.

Resources For Writing Deaf, Mute, or Blind Characters

 Despite the fact that I am not deaf, mute, or blind myself, one of the most common questions I receive is how to portray characters with these disabilities in fiction.

As such, I’ve compiled the resources I’ve accumulated (from real life Deaf, mute, or blind people) into a handy masterlist.

Deaf Characters:

And Alyssa Irene, who talks about her experience going blind and life as a blind person.

An Absolute Write thread on the depiction of blind characters, with lots of different viewpoints and some great tips.

And finally, this short, handy masterpost of resources for writing blind characters.

12/26/2020 update! 

Based on recommendations from followers, I capitalized Deaf out of respect and acknowledgement of the Deaf Community, and added some sources about Black Deaf Culture and BASL. Will definitely be adding more.

I also want to include more articles specific to Selective Mutism, but need to do some more research first. 

Thank you, everyone, and happy writing!

I fucking love cyberpunk 2077, bugs and all. It adds to my joy. But also since my computer is shitty I can't tell if my computer is the issue or the game is. The point is, I'm having the time of my life

Y’know I reblogged this a bit ago and was saved from financial probation and getting kicked out of school because of it, just mere months from graduation. Got a call from the financial aid advisor telling me that they made a mistake with filing my account (or some other sort of clerical error) and said that, basically, they owe me money. Welp.

[winjennster]

Last time I reblogged the money cat, I won two $100 gift cards at work.

[notoriousmasc]

so apparently my city has a superhero. and a supervillain. who like, do activism. and. my mom. is dating the supervillain.

[notoriousmasc]

i live in norfolk virginia, and there’s this guy called the black widow who lives here

he does operate kind of like a real superhero, and he stops car break-ins and stuff like that! apparently he even stopped a case of domestic violence once. i don’t know if a lot of people know he exists, but he definitely seems like a nice dude, and he has a lot of articles centered around him

but. there’s also a supervillain?

this is Man Man, founder of “AdaManMantium inc.” He is both legally and occupationally a supervillain. that’s not even a joke he has actual paperwork designating himself as a supervillain. he even has a business card

Man Man is pretty obsessed with “testing” the black widow in a lot of different ways. like. man man threatened to give his (man man’s) cat to a kill shelter if the black widow didn’t solve a riddle he gave him (whether he actually did it or not i have no idea)

and he also got 35 people to donate blood once the black widow solved ANOTHER riddle which was cool, and there was also this time where he went to a gay bar and told people that if they bought drinks he’d send the equivalent of the money they spent to the westboro baptist church (but since they refused he sent them to a charity)

one of his more recent schemes included… going to the mayor of the city and trying to get him to outlaw masks.

the reason im telling this to you. is because

my mom is dating man man?

blocked out the private stuff but you can definitely see that its the same guy (and also him cosplaying as. Him.)

my mom has always had questionable taste in men (she had a crush on onision a while ago) but like. she’s dating an actual supervillain now which i think is fucking hysterical

so basically. tl;dr. my town has superheroes and supervillains in it and my mom has decided to date a supervillain

[notoriousmasc]

update: theyre engaged
