[bgs-cave-o-thots]

Pinned Post!

Hi, I'm BG! Adult (20s), they/them. I’m just gonna say a few things real quick because I probably should:

This blog may have mild nsfw things (like jokes and stuff) so please keep that in mind following, I generally try to tag it with #nsft or #nsft-ish.

I have no DNI, no blacklist. I know how to use a block button and filter tags, I hope you can figure it out too. If I post something that you would like a tw on, let me know via an ask or something and I'll do my best to remember.

Check out my art blogs!! @bgsartcavern is my main art blog, and @ask-cueball is a webcomic of mine.

I'm organizing a zine for JSaB! Check it out over at @beyondshapesandbeatszine.

I’ll probably end up adding more to this as I need to but for now that’s all I have to say.

SIMPLE GUIDE:

Body Horror: Things that cannot happen in real life. EX: The Thing, stomach mouths, eyes on hands, etc

Gore: Fresh injuries, often severe. EX: Severed leg, gutspill, deep gashes, etc

NEITHER: Healed injuries and burns, congenital differences, missing appendages, etc. If I could theoretically go to the store and see that character browsing the isles- It isn't body horror or gore. That's just a person. *AND the amount of people that tag, not just fictional characters, but real human beings as body horror is staggering. Its not solely a fandom issue, ableism and bigotry against anyone that looks sufficiently "different" is prevalent in real life and has devastating consequences.

one of the best parts of making up increasingly wild and specific aus with a friend is sending them posts like "this is sooo blorbo in torture chamber au number 15" and they reply back like "YESSS btw have i told you about my latest idea for how to torture them even more" and you get to enjoy a little snack and kick your feet with glee

IT’S NOT ‘PEEKED’ MY INTEREST

OR ‘PEAKED’

BUT PIQUED

‘PIQUED MY INTEREST’

THIS HAS BEEN A CAPSLOCK PSA

[owlbearcounter]

THIS IS ACTUALLY REALLY USEFUL THANK YOU

[ranetree]

ADDITIONALLY:

YOU ARE NOT ‘PHASED’. YOU ARE ‘FAZED.’

IF IT HAS BEEN A VERY LONG DAY, YOU ARE ‘WEARY’. IF SOMEONE IS ACTING IN A WAY THAT MAKES YOU SUSPICIOUS, YOU ARE ‘WARY’.

ALL IN ‘DUE’ TIME, NOT ‘DO’ TIME

‘PER SE’ NOT ‘PER SAY’

THANK YOU

THANK YOU.

Me thinking that this is child’s play and that I know it all already:

Me realising there are some things I didn’t already know:

[inthememetime]

TO- GOING ONE PLACE TOWARDS ANOTHER

TWO- 2, A NUMBER BETWEEN 1 AND 3

TOO- A DESCRIPTIVE WORD, THE MUSIC IS TOO LOUD, THE SHIRT IS TOO LOOSE.

[itsthebrokenheartthatdecides]

Trick for telling whether to use “me” or “i”

Drop the other subject(s) and if the sentence makes sense, you’re using the right one.

Examples:

Incorrect- Arthur and me are going to the mall//me am going to the mall -no

Correct- Arthur and i are going to the mall//i am going to the mall

Incorrect- they brought presents for Henry and i//they brought presents for i -no

Correct- they brought presents for Henry and me//they brought presents for me

Rouge - a kind of makeup

[curlicuecal]

Vicious- mean

Viscous- sticky

Conscious- awake, mindful

Conscience- Jiminy Cricket

[morbidlyqueerious]

The affect vs effect thing is very useful!  Until you learn that you can effect (to cause to occur; bring about; accomplish) an affect (feeling or emotion, OR outward expression of same; yes, this is two nouns!) because English is a garbage fire.

[official-ottawa]

UNCONSCIOUS: NOT AWAKE

SUBCONSCIOUS: NOT AWARE

You do not make a decision unconsciously, it’s SUBCONSCIOUSLY.

If you wanna say someone made a decision without realizing, you use SUBCONSCIOUS.

If you wanna say you made a decision while sleeping (how??) you use UNCONSCIOUS

So many writers don’t know this and it drives me nuts

[the-haiku-bot]

You do not make a

decision unconsciously,

it’s SUBCONSCIOUSLY.

Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.

[painfullyideal]

The aggressive but fun usage of words and information given here is so amazing I love this😭

If I could add to this I would, but unfortunately not right now

WAIT-

Actually, yes I do:

Should (have/’ve) is the idea that you are aware that you had the chance but didn’t take it / a chance is there you haven’t taken it (yet) / indicates high probability (i.e. weather)

Could (have/’ve) is the idea that you are unaware of a chance to do something / something that previously happened but no longer can (i.e. performing a skill) / indicates conditional probability (i.e. needing money to do something) - can also be a polite request

Would (have/’ve) is the idea that you are unaware of chance you had, but wanted to take it if you’d known / past habits / desires/wants / breach of expectations in a reporting way (i.e. you said you would go) / indicates hypotheticals with a likely probability

[bgs-cave-o-thots]

Its "as he is wont to do" not "as he is want to do" and DEFINITELY not "as he is won't to do"

[yesterdayiwrote]

The irony of this new breed of self-righteous AI hunters on AO3 is that they're all just copy and pasting peoples fics into AI detectors, which are all operated by AI and therefore THEY are feeding people's work into the algorithm without their consent and in some cases no doubt circumventing the locks people put on to avoid getting scraped...

Don't copy and paste anyone's AO3 work into third party websites, you're not the good guys in this situation?

me as a teenager: man it sucks to have no privacy or autonomy but i guess its for a good reason. when i turn 18 i will realise how young i was and understand why they did all that.

me as an adult: teenagers are an oppressed class, their abuse is normalised and systemic and they need to start killing people

[bacteriumphage]

Uh oh

[bgsartcavern]

Tumblr is obliterating the quality of this but a revenge attack on @glaciers-blorbo-purgatory!! How I love doomed gays <3

Stills under the cut:

[alphacrone]

i don't really want to weight in on the "using big words in your writing is ableist" discourse happening on tiktok because i'm like 90% certain it's an anti-intellectual psyop to stir up drama in online circles to promote the use of ai to summarize literally everything and thus feeding the LLMs and lowering the populace's mistrust of such tools but i also have to say: dictionaries and thesauruses are the most accessible they've ever been. if you use an e-reader of any kind you can look up a word without leaving the page. there's a plethora of online dictionaries and if you just type a word + "meaning" into google it'll usually give you a definition. we used to have pocket dictionaries we used when reading in class. i have two on my shelf right now that i used in high school. stop letting the fascists purposefully misuse anti-ableism rhetoric to trick you into never thinking again.

[cyancees]

one is the handsome gentlemanly princely type with long hair riding on a white horse that all the ladies fawn over, the other is the badass grim bulky type with scars and a scowl and a big ass broadsword who always aura farms in the corner of the tavern alone

[cyancees]
