:D Heya!

Hey there! I'm Blaze, and this is my blog. I have a LOT of fandoms so expect a lot of different tags. I should get this out of the way: Four biggest things you should know about me. I’m bisexual, I’m polyam, I am a witch in practice(all three of these I’m SUPER in the closet about IRL), and I do self-ship. I just love characters alright? I like to think I’m chill about it. Plus, like I said, I can only really be myself online for now so, might as well have some fun! Also for the record my birthday is April 19th, 2001 I AM OF AGE THANK YOU AND GOODNIGHT Hit me up, I do like making new friends! Speaking of which, HERES MY AO3 ACCOUNT https://archiveofourown.org/users/JoJo419 Hope we can have a great time! Good night Tumblr!

I’ve literally never done this before but I feel confident sooooo HERE WE GO!

Name: JoAnna. Not giving a last name, sorry.

Nicknames: JoJo is my most common one, but I’ve been called; Jo, Blaze, and “Weirdo” in a affectionate tone before. Please, please do not call me JoAnn. Don’t. Don’t. No go. Cease and desist. I would literally rather be cussed out.

Why do I have two capitals in my name?: It’s not a typo, fun fact! My name is literally spelt that way because I am the actual ship name of my parents, Joe and Ann. :D even more nerdy history, I was originally going to be named after Seven of Nine. Mum won out though 😂

Location: Michigan, USA. Where not even the Heavens themselves know WTF our weather is going to be like.

Birthday: April 19th. I’m an Aries officially, but I REALLY don’t act like one.

Romantic Life: I identify as bisexual. I am also polyamorous, it fits better for me. However, I have only burned roads in the legit dating field. As in, I had exactly one(1) boyfriend and he proceeded to cheat on me before moving away. Then I got asked out as a joke, multiple times, by multiple people.

Health: I can’t really talk much about it in real life, but I’m more than certain I have Anxiety. I can’t get it properly diagnosed(parents are old fashioned. Still love them, and doing my best to try and get them caught up with the Now but...yknow...). I’m certain I have this through extensive research, and the fact that I’m literally training to be a therapist so...Psych classes. Yeah. I also have PCOS, which SUCKS SO BAD. 😭 The comments I’ve gotten on my body type...bruh, I’m just trying to love myself. (PS: If you’re the type to make unwanted comments on people’s bodies the exit is right there. Bye)

Appearence: Look me up on Instagram if you want. I got some decent selfies. Trust me, you already know the user name.

Occupation: College Student. Currently planning on majoring in Psychology to become a therapist, as I’ve been told I’m a good listener and I’d like to help people.

Least Favorite Subject: Algebra. Math. I just can’t do it. My body rejects thee.

Favorite Season: Fall. I love the colder months. Which makes my birthday ironic. At least the weather gods of Michigan occasionally gives me snow.

Fun Facts About Me:

I hate bugs in real life, but bugs in media I ADORE. Like I will SPRINT from a bee but I’ll study bugs in horror movies like they’re works of art.

I get scared and paranoid so easily but I love horror so much. Monsters are so much fun!

High School was, funny enough, better to me than my younger years in school. In Elementary, I dealt with people making fun of me about EVERYTHING(My dog, the fact that I’m a bigger girl, my love of fantasy) but in high school, everyone was super supportive! I made real friends there, and we’re all still close!

I have had one dog in my life. His name was Buddy, middle name Mojo, and he passed away roughly a year ago. I still miss him, and we have a tree planted out back in memorial.

In Middle School I had one friend who actively called me Shoelaces because of that old Tumblr post.

My final year of High School, because of how much I love Halloween, I bought two huge bags of candy and just...gave out pieces to whoever wanted some. My art class hailed me as a Queen, the teacher thought it was hilarious, and my favorite moment was how they told me to keep the Whoopers because I love those. I agreed, then proceeded to open up the second bag they didn’t know about. When they saw second bag, I think the laughter reached the second floor. 😂

I have trouble staying focused, so sometimes I vanish from fics unexpectedly. I promise, I’m never going to abandon anything I write. It’s just...really hard to focus on things. That’s why I start so many projects. That way I always have something to work on. At least that’s the idea. Questionable on whether that’s working 😂

Another funny High School story is that I was in a mock trail because I wanted to try out Law for a potential career. Found out the hard way arguments are...NOT something I can handle. Not even in a professional setting with no shouting. We won though! :D

I can’t eat cucumbers. They legit make me sick.

And I think that’s all I got! I got other funny stories, and I’m sure I’ll remember other stuff later. Normally, I hate talking about myself. On here though...I feel like I can really be myself.

😊 Y’all are awesome!!

anyway the actual point of fandom is to inspire each other. reading each other's fics and admiring each other's art and saying wow i love this and i feel something and i want to invoke this in other people, i want to write a sentence that feels like a meteor shower, i want to paint a kiss with such tenderness it makes you ache, i want to create something that someone else somewhere will see it and think oh, i need to do that too, right now. i am embracing being a corny cunt on main to say inspiring each other is one of the things humanity is best at and one of the things fandom is built for and i think that's beautiful

“Fat people are promoting obesity” why do we never talk about skinny people promoting eating disorders then?

Edit before people start clowning:

People constantly tell fat folks that they're “promoting obesity.” Whether they're discussing body positivy and/or fat liberation, whether they're filming a grwm, or whether they're (God forbid) posting about food, fat people are constantly met with those kinds of remarks, to the extent that it has lost any original meaning it might've had. It has simply become a cudgel with which to beat fat people out of public life.

Meanwhile, there are upteen billion wellness influencers, fitness coaches, and celebrities pushing the latest fad diets, calorie restriction, and whichever supplements pay them them most, as well as the latest miracle weight loss surgeries, pills and injections. Extreme weight loss is being glorified and disordered eating is being splattered across social media rn, yet the people who are so concerned with fat people and obesity are curiously silent on this. This, in spite of the fact that eating disorders, extreme weight loss and malnutrition also have severe health repercussions, if you survive them at all.

Fat people are told they're “promoting obesity” just for existing, while extreme weight loss is being simultaneously normalised. The double standard is deafening

[ I am not posting this looking for a debate, so if you leave an argumentative comment or just seem like you've missed the point, I'll ignore you. I'm not interested in proving to randos on the internet that my own damn experiences have happened ]

[presentlydean]

online communities are so strange because people slip away so easily. you can be on here for years, folding people you've never met into the fabric of your daily life, and then they disappear, leaving only ghost posts scattered across tumblr behind. or their blog stays dormant, for weeks, months, years, until you're only still following them because you remember that they love sunflowers or they were kind to you when they didn't have to be or the last thing they posted was sad and raw and you still worry about them sometimes.

and sometimes they come back when you least expect it, years later, even, and there's this sudden rush of relief like there you are, there you are, even though you barely knew each other.

there's a strange kind of love to it. i don't know you and i want to hold your hand across miles and time zones and oceans. i can still see the imprint of you in this community you left. you don't think anyone will notice or care when you're gone, but we notice and we care and we wish you well.

i hope you're all okay out there. i hope the sun is shining on your face and you are breathing deeply. i miss you.

things I won’t let ai take away from human writers

em dash

“not x, not y, but z”

short sentence stacking as a stylistic choice

none of these belong to ai. these are all what human writers have been writing since day one, way before ai was invented. ai was trained to mimic how human writers write — so em dash, not x not y but z and short sentence stacking would never have been used by ai at all if ai hadn’t learned and mimicked them from human writers.

no, you are not “fighting against ai” by accusing every work that has em dash, not x not y but z or short sentence stacking in it as ai-generated, you are helping ai harm the writing community by engaging in witch hunt and scaring human writers away from creating/sharing their works for fear of being wrongly accused of using ai.

speculations, accusations and ai witch hunt harm the writing community as much as ai does, if not more.

Hey if you’re schizophrenic/psychotic I just want you to know that you’re a wonderful person and that you deserve so much better than the demonization, marginalization and stigmatization you face in this society.

[sweetschizo-deactivated20190808]

Please consider reblogging this/other positivity posts for schizophrenic/psychotic people every once in a while. If you have more than 100 followers, odds are that a couple of them experiences psychosis and that they rarely see positivity posts for people with their symptoms.
