Intro Post + Tag Guide :)

Welcome to my blog!

Name's Blizzard! Or feel free to call me Bliz for short.

they/them

nonbinary + aroace

student artist + animator

former writer (Wattpad, AO3)

hops between fandoms from time to time due to my ever-changing hyperfixations.

I'm autistic so if I act weird, it's likely because of that. No, I'm not apologizing.

Extra info under the cut^^

Here's some stuff I like, ordered by level of interest :)

Losing My Mind:

Ninjago: Masters of Spinjitzu + Dragons Rising *current hyperfixation

Outer Wilds

Minecraft

Pokemon Legends (Arceus/Z-A)

The Legend of Zelda (BotW/AoC/TotK)

SMT Persona (mainly 3, but 5 and 4 sometimes)

Undertale/Deltarune (god forbid I be in the fandom)

Metaphor: ReFantazio

Casual Enjoyer Of:

Sonic the Hedgehog

Dishonored

WolfQuest

Signalis

Metroid (Dread)

Hollow Knight/Silksong

Dungeon Meshi

Horizon ZD/FW

Team Fortress 2

Used to Be, but Not All That Interested In Anymore:

Flight Rising (@blizzardream-fr)

Animal Crossing: New Horizons (not in the fandom)

Sky: Children of the Light (not in the fandom)

Just so everyone's aware, I'm not comfortable with drawing humans which is why you will rarely find me drawing anything from Dishonored, Persona, or anything like that unless I may have cat designs backed up for them.

Does that make me a furry? I don't know. I like to think not but tbh I don't know the exact definition of a furry. Think of me as you will.

And a little guide to my tags!

General:

#blizzardream art - my art tag! there's other people on the internet who go under Blizzardream as well, although I've checked and none of them are specifically artists, at least from what I've seen. this is a little bit so you know it's the artist Blizzard and not whoever else might be out there under the same username. (literally nobody calls me Blizzardream anyway)

#blizzardream animation - animation tag because I animate stuff from time to time when I feel like it! mainly on FlipaClip. most of my animations will also be on my YouTube which is just my online name XD

#bliz talks too much - yeah uhhh I talk a lot in tags or in general most of the time. sorry. actually no I take that back I'm not sorry

#rb - I always tag my reblogs. just helps with organization and also so you can filter it out if you like.

#bliz talks ninjago - Ninjago is one of my favorite things in the world and I've kept most of my thoughts bottled up for years. Here's where I let it all out.

#blizzard blasts - I used to play trombone in band, that's where the tag gets its name. I'm also a music enthusiast so I may talk about it from time to time!

#您知道我聽懂中文嗎 - roughly translates to "did you know I can understand Mandarin". Specifically, Taiwanese Mandarin (Traditional script), although I'm a better listener and speaker than I am a reader. Anything tagged with this is a post where I lean heavily into talking about my first language, some or most of it in said language. I want to and enjoy reconnecting with my culture okay

#blizzard's ask box - I keep losing this tag so this is mainly to remind myself LMAO but here are my asks! As of writing this I don't get a lot, feel free to drop me an ask anytime and I'll try my best to respond :)

#blizzard gets tagged - I get tagged. simple as that XD

#blizzard boosts palestine - where my posts sharing Palestine fundraisers go. feel free to block, I get that there's a lot.

I tend to talk a lot in the tags on basically anything so definitely read through them all if you want to absorb everything I have to offer!

Thanks for reading through everything (if you did) and hope you have a good day/night. And if you're not or if something's going on, I hope things look up for you, and that you will be safe.

I went looking for dragon-form Lloyd references and didn't find much, so I decided to do it myself. I'll put the rest under the cut.

I found a lot of... fun angles

Lloyd punching Beatrix in the dick will never stop being funny to me

[thestoryteller-thedreamer]

I made note of this during my first watch through, but the wink.

GUYS. Jay WINKED at Nya.

I'm pretty sure we haven't seen a Jay wink since all the way back in Season 5... so I'm counting this as a win.

Not to mention, this is the first time we see him wink at Nya! We now have a Jay wink for every character in the show!

Why Tumblr Has Rolled Out ID Verification

UK legislation: Online Safety Act 2023

Brazil legislation: Digital Statute For Children And Adolescents

Apple App Store Age Verification

These are not tumblr specific policies. Tumblr is implementing age verification in response to legislative moves that were made months ago.

Tumblr is a failing social media site that has escaped death multiple times already; they do not have the social cachet to defy state regulatory agencies. We know they won't say no to Apple, either--the porn ban on tumblr was in response to Apple's crackdown on explicit content.

If you did not know this was happening, you were behind the curve. That is fine. You're caught up now. The next step is to link up with people in your country who are working to preserve privacy, to roll back these laws where they exist, and to prevent their passage where they do not. In the US the organization you want is Stop KOSA--in the EU you can start with Fight Chat Control.

Repealing ID verification and blocking chat control will help everyone, especially the most vulnerable. We can push this back, but we cannot get it done through the Feedback form. We have to get it done at the legislative level and lock it down so it cannot be forced upon us. I see lots of anger out there. Good. Put it to use.

[melyzard]

Hey, if you're in the USA, that Stop KOSA link helps you send a letter/email to your rep in like, 5 minutes. You can change the auto generated letter (I did, a little, to make it more personal) but you can just hit Send as is.

Can we support him please?!

[comfygiant]

I would love to share this with everyone who may happen to see this post. Please support this wonderful human being. He spent nearly a half century in prison for a crime he never committed. And the only thing that kept him going was his artistic endeavors. He deserves the best life can offer anyone ❤️

[hazemsuhail]

He survived death under the rubble, should we let him die now because he lacks his medicine? 🥺 My entire family was injured, but my brother Samer is in the most critical condition. I am not asking for much; this small donation is literally the "line between life and death" for Samer. Please, be the voice he has lost... donate to save him, or share this post to reach those who can help. 🙏 GoFundMe

Immediate help needed for Palestinian who had been crushed under rubble whose in need of medicine to live

Please don’t skip but donate and spread awareness

[hazemsuhail]

Your donation is the only way we can afford the medication Samer urgently needs and give him a chance to receive urgent treatment outside Gaza.

Every bit of support can make a life-saving difference. 🙏🫂

This is an urgent plea coming from a tent drowned by rain.

Tonight has been brutally hard for us; the heavy rain pierced through our fragile tent and flooded everything we own. Our blankets, our clothes, our food… everything has become soaked and cold. My child is trembling in my arms, and I cannot find a single dry place to protect him from the cold that grows harsher with every passing moment.

In these difficult circumstances, we have no choice but to turn to the kindness of your hearts. Your support now is not just a passing gesture—it is warmth for a shivering child, food for a family struggling to survive, and a window of hope in a dark winter night.

I kindly ask for your help in these difficult circumstances, Every contribution from you is a new life granted to us.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart. 🩵🙏

Really wish we'd, on the left, stop laughing and assuming this is ACTUALLY about strippers. I'd be willing to bet this ISN'T about some one with the actual job of stripper being somehow hired and sent to a school, that indeed DOESN'T happen - instead it will be used to target any female teacher who, like, wears a bikini on social media one time. She'll be called a "danger" to children and fired, as a cover for the fact that she's pro-queer or too far left or doesn't support ICE enough on that same social media. The bikini pic will just be the legal tool used to ruin her life

[ladyshinga]

A friend helped me out by looking up the actual bill and YUP, it's to target queer people and sex education. NOT. STRIPPERS. STOP MAKING IT ABOUT THE FUCKING "STRIPPERS".

[theshampyon]

Anyone who thinks ladyshinga might be off track, here's the breakdown.

Actual bill name: Stop the Sexualization of Children Act.

Purported purpose: "to protect children from being exposed to explicit material in the classroom".

How it's sold in the press: "Ban strippers and porn from classrooms!"

Actual text of the bill: Expands the meaning of "sexually explicit content" to include the words "or involves gender dysphoria or transgenderism".

Not and. Or. Meaning "involves gender dysphoria or transgenderism" is in and of itself enough to be classified as sexually explicit.

Actual result: Illegal to mention the existence of trans people or admit to being trans in a classroom under threat of being prosecuted as a child sex offender.

Hey anyone notice how google translate is being pretty liberal with their translations as of late? Takin some real liberties to infer tone.

[melongifts]

ask and ye shall receive: When I write in Japanese I usually also throw it in google translate to double check that I'm not using the wrong kanji by mistake, and two years ago it gave me very dry and literal translations.

I was doing it today and noticed it had a pretty strong voice added to the output

For reference, to give a dry translation I would put: Lately I'm into in Hanafuda. Nobody seems to know anything about it here, so they probably wouldn't understand my brilliant jokes. I guess you guys will never be able to understand "Mister November and the Scary Cave".

I have a fluent friend who is able to check my work for me and give me tips on hitting the correct tone (I was going for a comically casual feeling), so I'm confident that I'm expressing the feeling I'm intending. While Google is also hitting the same emotion, I really don't like knowing that it's assigning tone in the first place.

To check if it was editorializing based on informal grammatical choices, I formal'd up the writing to be more polite and remove any non-standard vocabulary.

I'm just like... what is anyone who is translating what I'm thinking into their own language going to think when a translation app decides that it knows my intended tone? When online communication is already so complicated and nuanced? I'm a non-native so I'm spending ages agonizing over 117 characters, but when I'm chatting in English I'm not being so deliberate. How likely is it that tools that 'naturalize' are going to make choices that don't reflect reality and lead to insulting misunderstandings? I spoke with an English learner just yesterday who thought they were being bullied (they were not, the commenter in question was just excitedly infodumping about sociology) because something was lost in translation, and I wonder if it's because of tools making choices like this. I'm just a luddite I don't trust stuff like this. stinks of ai asking me if it can rerwrite my email in a more quirky style.

What do you mean I'm just using the browser versi-
