I'm here, I'm queer, and my ADHD is moderate to severe
@afk-brain
currently autistic about an improvised half-life crackfic
Blue/Cobalt, any pronouns
Semi-gimmick blog: @daily-reaml-quotes
I do YouTube and commissions, among other things! https://linktr.ee/bluedragin
ok i just realized I should make an intro post lol
Important bits highlighted for clarity cuz I realized this became a bit of a wall of text-
You can call me Blue or Cobalt! Any pronouns (but they/he is more preferred) because idk what my gender is either lol. Mostly transmasc (not fully out of the closet, haven't really transitioned irl yet) but also I am a crow person?
tSotD (the webcomic I'm currently developing) blog is @the-secrets-of-the-dragons, which is mainly just an inactive dev log at the moment lol
Gimmick blog is @daily-reaml-quotes, where I've queued up a random quote from a really long quote list if you wanna check that out.
My other socials are some variant of BlueDragin, but I'm most active on YouTube, Discord, and here. I also do commissions!
I'm not good at tagging or knowing what might be sensitive to people, so all my posts and reblogs are basically ask to tag by default, and please tell me if I should add a tag or warning to something! If it helps, I rarely reblog anything that might be nsfw/nsfm (I am an adult, but I often feel uncomfortable with that kind of content myself), but I also participate in a few horror fandoms so just... tread lightly if you're sensitive to certain things.
Other blog stuff under the break:
Some fandoms and interests I have that mainly dominate my blog (with current hyperfixations in blue) are:
TMA/The Magnus Archives (and Protocol by extension)
Wings of Fire
Rain World
HLVRAI
SFTH
Flight Rising
D&D
Birds of all kinds, but especially corvids
Dragons
LGBTQIA+ stuff because I am many flavors of queer myself. Obviously.
Neurodivergent stuff cuz I have ADHD and autism
Art (I mainly do digital art and notebook doodles)
Science
Music (I play bass clarinet :D)
Video games
The occasional LDS or Utah thing (yes, I know, I'm not a very typical Mormon. It does mean I don't swear but I have no problem with someone else swearing if they're not being excessive :))
And whatever other random stuff comes across my brain and/or dash
Some recurring tags (linked below for navigation) on my blog (and the reaml quotes blog) are:
Fandom tags in general - All of my fandom content (excluding most reblogs). Mainly fanart. Also things having to do with a hyperfixation, often along the lines of "i wanna hyperfixate but i have a Thing":
#blue's tma hyperfixation
#blue's hlvrai hyperfixation
#blue's flight rising hyperfixation
#blue's rain world hyperfixation
#blue's wof hyperfixation
#blue's sfth hyperfixation
I also have vague fandom tags for when something reminds me of A Thing In This Fandom but I don't wanna use a hyperfixation tag or tag the fandom directly:
#blue's beholding stuff
#blue's tic-tac drawer
#blue's hibernal den
#blue's porl collection
#blue's weirdling tower
#blue's embarking on change
And some other misc. tags:
#blue's catching up on trashposts - all of the stupid things I've said in other places that frankly belong on tumblr. Or occasionally me just learning how to use tumblr lol
#blue's "sleep meds and frekakhu jfn brkeakgkaft" saga - me forgetting how to function. Mainly via forgetting to take my sleep meds or attempting to type "freaking breakfast", hence the tag name
#blue liveblogs about their nose's attempted murder apparently - Similar to the previous tag, started when I got sick in May 2025 and chaos ensued from there. Will probably be used for any future updates on being sick I guess, idk lol
#blue's hubris ig or #bluebris - Me reacting to random posts blowing up
#carpposting - Me interacting with the hecking carp meme lol
#tumblr go home you're drunk - Tumblr's algorithm being... tumblr. Also a lot of weird tumblr ads
#blue drew. woohoo (formerly #bluedles before I realized it was already taken) - Art tag
#i'm probably gonna draw this later lol - Anything I see that I might draw later - such as a cute picture of a cat or a bird that I wanna redraw as a certain character, or a fun concept that I may give a fleshed-out design. Anything that has since been drawn will be replaced with #i drew this later lol
#thing I drew later lol - Said drawings, either directly reblogged from the inspiration or a separate post with it linked and screenshotted, depending on how I'm feeling. Usually the latter.
#blue's impulsively decided to make an entire amv when they can barely do a 3-minute storyboard - Progress and whatnot on an animation of Transcendental Cha Cha Cha I'm working on. I'll link the final product here when I'm finished with it :D
#smores the shepsky - my dog :) he's a very fluffy german shepherd/husky mix and an absolute doofus
#reaml (and other tags with "reaml") - Anything related to the previously-mentioned gimmick blog. Further context on @daily-reaml-quotes
#tsotd and #the secrets of the dragons - Anything related to the previously-mentioned webcomic. Further context on @the-secrets-of-the-dragons. (Note that #tsotd is apparently shared by a few other fandoms, but frankly it's difficult to find an acronym that DOESN'T have conflicts so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯)
#corvraptor - corvid-utahraptor (or just general bird-theropod) species thing I made. Feel free to make your own I have no restrictions or anything (I do have some guidelines, though) on the species lol. Blue, my persona, is one themself:
I also use other random tags ("#mood", "#laugh rule", that kind of thing) if you want to search those too lol
General blog background:
The blog name originated from me saying "My brain is AFK [Away From Keyboard]" to describe my absent-mindedness and I thought it was a good name for a tumblr blog so here we are
Profile picture is my persona drawn over the "crow with a knife" meme
Banner is a drawing of The Archivist as a NightWing (TMAxWoF wheee)
I'm new to tumblr but have watched PM Seymour's videos on it for years, so I think I'm getting a hang of it pretty quickly lol
PSA to fan creators who don't have a lot of regular contact with children: They are almost always bigger than you think. A 1-year-old baby may already be walking. A toddler is likely already hip-high. A 10-year-old may already be taller than at least one of their parents. A 14/15 year old may already have reached their adult height.
being a kid and hearing adults say stuff like "woah 2011 was 4 years ago haha" didn't really convey the fucking horror of a youtube video crossing my recommended labelled "9 years ago" and it's from 2017. that's not true. 9 years ago is 2010 or something. don't lie.
There's a direct correlation between how embarrassing and/or undignified some specific cause of death would be, and how much potential it has for a cool name for a punk band. Consider:
emotional responses are deeply evolutionarily advantageous in any animals that are making complex decisions and behaviors (in many vertebrates, say) because they act as a reinforcer for a behavior. a bird taking a vigorous bath in a puddle is probably happy because if that behavior didnt elicit a positive feeling they wouldn't do it (it is dangerous to be on the ground and wet!). if an animal can feel fear, which i think is a less contested assertion to make, then it can certainly feel the opposite, that is, happy.
you'll feel like a total dipshit train wreck and no matter what some girl is gonna see you and think "role model". you can't kill yourself you have to go be clocky in the gas station so a 14 year old can have the trajectory of her life altered forever
as annoying as it is to work fast food, at my previous job one time a kid recognized the theta delta pin on my hat and was so fucking excited because i was the first other therian they had ever encountered offline.
"hey....are you a therian?" "yeah!" "what kind of animal?" "eh, some kinda dog" "😲😀 im like a wolf coyote hybrid" "that's fuckin awesome"
what really drives me nuts is that like. this happens an average of x times per year as a visibly weird person, but we only get made aware of it a small fraction of the time. you can't kill yourself you have to be clocky in the gas station.
Being clocky when i was working as a barista was one of my big joys. Being clocky when i was teaching high schoolers how to play the marimba was my reason for being for half a decade. It sucks how scared I am to leave the house I live in now. But I still need to try and be clocky at the grocery store. I wish i had a job to be clocky at. Being visibly me is one of the most radical acts I'm capable of, and I hope that one day we live in a world where it isn't radical at all.
also we have GOT to collectively come to terms with the fact that me or any other stranger online disliking or even making fun of something you like is not saying “no fun allowed” “no one can ever enjoy this” you have simply got to grow a spine and be able to like the shit you like. you don’t even have to defend it! like 90% of the media i really enjoy is divisive and half my friends actively hate it. i really don’t give a fuck though because i like it. you can write whatever you want! you’re allowed! even if it’s MY least favorite genre or style of writing and i have active distaste for it!
that one song from persona: trinity soul that’s a swanky chill jazz song but then this rando starts rapping over the music one minute in without warning and they’re the worst bars you’ve ever heard in your life
