drawing other people’s ocs: checking the ref sheet for the 401st time to make sure i didn’t accidentally get their entire design wrong and also call them a slur
drawing my own ocs: their eyes have never been the same shape twice
Putting the term "Catholic guilt" on a high shelf where fandom can't reach it until everyone learns how to identify characters who are very very clearly coded as Protestant.
TAG YOUR MOOTS AND MAKE THEM EXPLAIN THEIR USERNAMES LORE
Starting with me:
Hyyl18 because when i was youngest i had a group in a random app with some friends and i didnt knew qhat username to use so i decided to create one with things i used to read since we were talking abt fanfic in this group so: Hot Yaoi Yuri Lemon +18 stuff (i was in my dirty era dont dare to judge me). Hyyl18 thats it. Now i use it everywhere yay
@patroclus-is-the-bigger-person @b4rty-r0s13r-w1ll-fck-y0ur-m0m @cuntyteardrop @glassesgirlies @leninthestarlight @bardorsomethinglikethat anyone else who wanna join tbh yay
(i removed previous reblogs to keep the chain short)
I'll try to keep this short and not bore everyone with technical details
My username comes from quantum physics and im using it as a metaphor to describe my metastable state irl.
technical stuff below👇
in quantum field theory, a vacuum isn't just empty space.. it's a state of energy. and there are two states: true vacuum and false vacuum. the first one is the absolute lowest energy state possible (this is completely stable and can't be disrupted) the second one is a state that looks stable and secure on the surface but actually contains hidden reservoir of high energy. it's a local minimum meaning it's stable for now but only bc a barrier is holding back. if a false vacuum gets just a little bit of a nudge (this is a process called quantum tunneling) it will suddenly collapse into a true vacuum. this release of energy would trigger a "vacuum decay" which is a bubble of destruction expanding at the speed of the light that reshapes the laws of physics and destroys everything in its path
personal stuff below 👇
as for me, i use this to describe myself to express a deep sense of hidden instability and it implies that:
-i look completely fine, stable and functional on the outside. im getting through the day but it's a facade
-i feel like im one bad day, one stressful event or one minor inconvenience away from a collapse
-im holding onto a massive amount of internal stress, trauma and anxiety and it takes a lot of energy to maintain this current stable state and i feel like a ticking bomb
-also im on the verge of a massive reality shifting identity change. once i collapse out of my current state i will never be the same person again
TL;DR
my username is a poetic nerdy way of saying i look perfectly fine rn but im structurally unstable and fundamentally overwhelmed
more about my blog 👇
i consider this blog my alter ego. it's everything that im not in real life. it's a personal space to explore sides of me that i can't navigate irl. so everything you see from me here is just my second hidden personality
im tagging all my beautiful mooties (if you got tagged twice please ignore), but if any of you don't like this kind of posts, feel free to ignore or even tell me to stop tagging you in the future. no pressure to respond at all. i love you all mooties 🙃
Thanks for the tag @falsevacuum!
My username doesn't have a good story behind it really, other than that I tend to be pretty closed off (and I still am on here, but I at least let my fandom freak flag fly) because being open feels like exposure...and exposure feels like weakness.
it is very dramatic and serious. therapy should have helped but at this point I think this is just how shit is. also it sounds very cool to me.
About the blog itself, well, I try to keep it mostly fandom (right now Resident Evil and Baldur's Gate 3) related. I also am trying to develop creative expression that doesn't rely on yarn.
But inevitably some other shit will make its way in because either because its just to funny to not share or I am out of other reasonable venues to vent/share.
I pretty much refuse to do any personal/authentic posting on any social media. I don't mind hearing about other people's issues or lives, I just...don't want to share mine? The closest i get is vague blogging and I will try hard to maintain that because fuck people monetizing my data where I'm a bitchy little loser. If someone is going to make money off of that it should be me. My suffering should solely be mine to exploit.
My username came from an inside joke in a short story I was writing, where one character is making fun of another for wearing embroidered jean shorts. The jorts conversation stuck in my head, and because I have a love of clowns and their medieval counterparts, the image of a jester wearing long jorts has lived rent free in my head ever since!
I'm tagging you in @statelycryptid! Sorry not sorry 🫣
Umm... I used to have a different account & went by "State" for short. Old account got hacked so had to delete everything but I still wanted to go by State (I had that account for literal years, the name felt like a part of me) so I came up with Stately, then ofc I'm on Tumblr and therefore aspire to be a cryptid, so decided to dress for the job I want
I feel like my current username is by far the least interesting story at of them all, but it’s a nice full circle moment so I’m happy to share.
MenialAce was my first username that I got when I was playing Xbox as a small child and it was randomly generated. Honestly it’s probably the best sounding and least cringe name from my time on the internet XD
My username is from when I first started playing Minecraft on pocket edition. When they first added multiplayer you'd just join as "Steve2" or smth and I decided that was stupid so I just keysmahed a bit and here we are. The original keysmash had a double y also but when I transferred to Java I forgot it.
i think this captures the defining pathology of the collective social media psyche right now. we are in the thrall of people who are wantonly cruel but who also demand to be coddled at all times in every way
