hey can everyone do me a favor and put in the tags why they chose their name? even if you don't go by a chosen name irl, you can put why you chose your online name.

hey hi i’m completely reeling thanks
(for those of you who aren’t nobilis fans but are following along at home: iolithae septiman has the power to tell lies which replace/rewrite reality, and apparently i’ve incurred her wrath with aaron’s longfurby, and i am so sorry)
longfurby saves the day with imperial miracle stating that hasbro restarted production in 2012, it’s all good!`
cetaceanHandiwork: Tried to lie them away, it didn’t work, tried again, it didn’t work… she’s probably off sulking on a cliff somewhere now
baseball interviewers will ask "how do you throw the ball so good" and Mariners players will casually drop that they have a headmate who plays the game for them
all my alters become walters when i pitch the baseball of success
jon bois once opined that the Seattle Mariners – the team whose 1995 postseason was like something straight out of a sports movie – are best understood not as competitors, but as protagonists.
it's cool to see that's remained true in the modern era.
Hollow girl.
bruh I do not have TIME to learn activitypub and atprotocol and bodge some bullshit liferaft together I have a DAY JOB
don't think I've forgotten about this by the way. the notespocalypse may have been cancelled, and I might be the kind to normally give a pass at Tumblr's incompetent mod policies (b/c, as previously stated, I don't think competent global moderation of a social media platform above a certain size is actually possible), but the recent uses of an apparent "ban user X and everyone following her" tool in their toolbox is enough that I can't really have confidence in the site remaining usable
it's been less than two months between the nonsense in OP and our latest nonsense (age veri in brazil and UK), and the tumblr alternative I'm currently most bullish about is wafrn
it's compatible with both bsky and mastodon; you can like/reblog from (and be liked/reblogged on) both platforms.
it has mastodon's semantics vis "choosing your admins" (whether those semantics are better or worse than atproto's "pds and moderation are separate things" semantics is a matter of taste).
it's deliberately designed to support tumblr-ish use cases (inlined multimedia) in contrast to mastodon and bsky posts' more "text with attachments" based paradigm
as with bsky and mastodon there's no specific entity with the unilateral power to implement stupid new network-incompatible rules

Good morning to all my friends on this website. I hope you're doing okay.
Ten years ago, Tumblr user @the-alligator-queen-blog began an annual tradition called Self Insert Week: a weeklong challenge/jam/etc where participants are encouraged to make fanworks with themselves as the main character.
This year, this storied Tumblr festival will begin on Sunday, May 10th, and last through Saturday, May 16th.
Why participate? Well, in its founder’s own words, it’s “a fun reason to make ourselves into the awesome characters we daydream up while going about our normal lives”.
But it’s also, in my view, a strike back at the common tendency to see fanwork – and creative work more generally – as such Serious Business that it’s not allowed to be openly self-indulgent. People worry so much, these days, about whether their artistic endeavors are “good enough”, or are a credit to their Brand, or whatever. I think that’s sad. Maybe even a little unhealthy, if we do it all the time. What’s the harm, really, if not everything we write is Serious Literature? Who said it had to be? Why can’t we embrace the cringe every now and again, if that's what sparks joy?
So this event is a "feast of fools" for creative works: an excuse – carte blanche and imprimatur – to indulge in all the silly fandom escapism you’d eschew in a more normal week. Go smooch your favorite Digital Circus denizen in Photoshop. Go write about the drama you and your Miis got up to on that island. Go wild! There’s no sign-up to participate, no masterpost, nothing like that. Just write, draw, and post your stuff under #self insert week 2026 so that we can all cheer each other on. :)
she’s right

currently observing a fascinating situation on another website
fanfic where main character is the author's terminally depressed SI
one of the fic's regular readers writes a comment that SI's particular flavor of depression reminds her of her pre-transition self
author, as a special treat for that reader and for No Other Reason In Particular, writes a non-canonical omake chapter where the SI's biomagician friend is testing out her magic and feminizes the SI and the SI realizes that this is kinda good
author clarifies in response to a "congrats OP" that he (i.e. the author not the SI) is still going by he/him and considers himself a dude, while admitting that he's in an ongoing debate with some of his friends on the topic
commenter writes in that the chapter is great & that even though transition would only like 10% fix the SI she's still having fun with the idea. author replies with "it'd probably be more than 10%; she'd still have a lot of issues but why be sad when you're a hot girl with a hot girlfriend"
and I'm just sitting here really glad that this person's friends are reportedly already having the egg conversation, b/c while I don't believe in the Egg Prime Directive I do believe in Craig Ferguson's Three Questions, and so I can trust those transfem friends to point out the, uh, implications of OP's most recent comment on this whole saga more effectively than a rando could
just woke up from a dream where... okay, you know those super-didactic animated movies that show events from the bible and/or contrived modern situations in an attempt to preach to kids? but the ones where everyone's a human, not the furry ones or veggie tales
well, in the dream, the hotel I was staying at had a collection of those VHSes except instead of being for USA christianity, apparently someone had made them for some women-only new age wiccan offshoot
things the people who made those videos believed (an incomplete list)
famous historical religious leader (who we are referring to as a woman without ever mentioning that mainstream history said he was a guy), after she stopped being a public figure, joined up with us and was a prophet in our religion for a while. alas, she eventually [insert vaguely described sin here] and died badly
every once in a while, taking [vagely defined recreational drug which might be weed?] will make a boy think he's a girl, but don't be fooled, if he ever sobers up he'll be right back to his evil male behaviors
there was some other stuff too but I forgot too much of it right after waking up

for the longest time I couldn’t understand the purpose of cuno and cunoese in the disco narrative until I’ve started working at a local order pickup point and got my own two gremlins to imprint on me
jesus fuck. these two dipshits barged into my pickup point ant started destroying e v e r y t h i n g around and i was so appalled i just. fucking stared into the distance for a while. until they pulled out of their pockets like five vapes and started puffing in my face and then suggested that I buy one from them for a good deal and I laughed at their faces like “you think I can’t buy myself a vape?” and these two fuckos blinked at me in unison and said yes. today they asked what my degree’s at I said arts and they followed “and now you work at a pickup point” FUUUUUCCKKK YOOOUUUUUUUU ONE DAY ILL BE NORMAL AGAIN
the feeling of being humbled on your work hours by nine year olds is. incomparable
anyway the point is that now I’m their bestie against my will. they visit me every day after school and somehow they fucking vape less now. because they don’t want to disappoint me. like what. I’m a fucking smoker myself where did you get this wisdom from. they hug me hello and goodbye.
today one of them begged me for a puff and I was like no one day you’ll want to live a longer life and he goes actually I don’t wanna live. ever since my dad has died I feel like there’s no one else who can love me anymore. and I was like. one day you’ll grow up and you’ll be here for yourself by your own side and no one will harm you. your dad loved you. your brother who beats you is a weak idiot who can’t step up and fill his shoes. give me back my vape
like. the writers captured the raw batshit bonkers honesty and devastation of lost kids and didn’t forget to make them call you a fag. and after they’re done with you you’re left alone with all this bs that you wish you’ve been told before and hope those are the right things to say now.
