“We will not be free until you push the button for French fries, and all the stars in the galaxy explode. We will not be free until stepping forward sends you backwards or sideways, and also, you've got a hat, now.” - Brennan Lee Mulligan
Intro post? You want an introduction to MY snowball of incoherence and whimsy?
First of all, have a carrd, I’ll often paste it into new account descriptions (though it’s not updated all that often): cobalt-mist.carrd.co
Call me Cobalt, They/Them. I’m an occasional artist, an even less frequent writer, a bibliophile, a gamer, and so many more.
Second: Check out my writing thing!!! @project-x-helios (it won’t let me actually tag the sideblog…)
In the interest of a short intro, the rest (including main fandoms & tags) is under the cut. That said, Random Bullshit Go!
Last updated June 1st, 2026 btw.
I’m an avid fandom enjoyer, mostly active in Gaming, Cosmere, Audiodrama, and Dropout fandoms. (I literally wrote a speech on fandoms okay)
I really, really enjoy artcore music, specifically FeryQuitous, Connexio, Ascellia Mio, MoAE:., Link”0, Fractal Dreamers, AcuticNotes, Stellatram, and R. Solidor. I’m very normal about music. I’m a normal person. With normal music tastes that are even widespread and popular.
(Id be surprised if anyone but me had heard more than two of my favorite songs lol)
I’m extremely normal about the sky and have a normal amount of cloud photos on my phone. (<-Lying)
I’m obsessed with crystals and mineral structures
(the list currently includes: Cobalt, Jadeite, Brass, Pyrite, Bismuth, Zircon, Obsidian, Topaz, Citrine, Beniotite, and Tanzanite)
Generally I take an interest in most genres of science! I’m not too knowledgeable in any one area, but always willing to research!
I’m currently a member of Academic Decathlon, where I’m very much enjoying the Electricity and Magnetism science topic.
I’m aromantic and asexual. Attraction is seemingly not my forte :)
I won’t say that this will be entirely sfw, I do consider myself sex repulsed but I have little to no aversion to gore (see: Malevolent, Invincible, Iron Lung). You’ll probably be fine, but this is your only warning.
This is especially addressing mutuals but also a general plea: please tag your stuff. I don’t care how you interact with it, but romantic and sexual content is something I and many others are NOT here to see. So tag it, please and thank you. (Btw, #cobalt blocked tag is exactly what is says on the tin if you want to be sure)
As for my blog, pfp and header made by me, anything that’s not will be credited somewhere probably unless I forget
Tag wise:
#shitposting <- self explanatory. I do this semi frequently nowadays.
#cobalt personal <- occasional, usually irrelevant, details about my daily life.
#cobalt introspective <- effectively, diary entries I wanted to be posted for transparencies sake. I don’t use it often.
#cobalt answers messages from the endless yay! <- asks tag. Please send me asks or DMs idc for what reason I’ll yap about anything. I’ll do basically any ask game ever to exist as well.
#cobalt pinned tag <- stuff I want to be able to find easily
For fandoms: I can never seem to keep track. I try to use the full name, abbreviated version, and spoiler tags (if applicable), though some things have wayyy too many (Looking at you, Dimension 20: Cloudward, Ho!)
Ex: #The Magnus Archives #TMA #TMA Spoilers
I hate that I need a dni, but the world is in fact just like this, so here we are:
To any and all Racists, Terfs, Homophobes, Aphobes, Exorsexists, Intersexists, et cetera: I don’t want to hear your argument. This is the one case I’ll shut it down before it starts: to tell someone how to live is to prevent them from living. Trans women are women, trans men are men, nonbinary people are nonbinary. no matter what.
As for internal queer discourse, the above still applies. The labels anyone uses are their choice and their choice alone. Who cares if that means neos or conflicting labels or unlabeled or whatnot. Sometimes anarchy is the ideal. Sometimes it doesn’t make sense. And that’s okay.
A message for Trump and his supporters: please see sense. Tell me, how many of his promises have actually been fulfilled? Anyways. Please get off my blog.
Needless to say, Fuck ICE.
I am vehemently against all use of generative AI. It destroys the environment at rapid rates, violates copyright law on a scale never before seen, and removes creativity from creative works.
AI also frequently leads to the enshitification of every site ever once it’s added. So there’s that. I could talk about how bad tech is getting for consumer use for a LONG time.
Finally: I do not respond to requests for donations! I have no money, and I average like 6 notes a post. I think the best way I can help is by directing you away from here and towards a more popular blog.
Was driving with my grandmother and in broken English she says “no eyes… no nose… no face. Don’t trust.” To which I looked around wildly in search of this omen of ill portend.
the mythbusters once tested "herding cats" and at one point they brought in a proper trained herding dog and the poor dogs face when the first cat responds to his herding with swipes and aggression is to look at her human and go 😰 the sheep is broken?? what do i do boss??
[Image ID: Tumblr tags from greatAndHolyPangolin reading: this except often during lambing season you do get sheep fighting back when the dogs are too pushy, either mama sheep going Don't speak to me or my son ever Again, and giving the dog a solid headbutt, Or, In rare cases, a lamb will try to nip a dog and will find out that it works at deterring them and will lose all respect for the concept of sheepdogs, at that point we need to keep an eye on the lamb because if it continues to not have consequences it will become rogue and unherdable, in my family they're affectionately referred to as Sweetheart Darling Bastards (which I recently found out it a poem reference? Wow) /End ID]
