got told at lunch "you feel like Tumblr Incarnate" and i had to tell them i've been here for 13 years and counting. i was here three years before dashcon happened. i saw the mishapocalypse. i survived the gigapause. i've been here longer than the shoelaces post. i've been here since it was hipsters versus fandom and i played both sides extensively by overdoing the sepia filters on everything and making my own flashing galaxy gif edits for my fandom posts. i'm every tumblr. it's all in me

Oh ancient one what wisdom do you hold?

[t00thpasteface]

99% of callout posts are bullshit and just petty personal drama someone is escalating to get even on a grudge. do not engage with these, do not freelance as a cop

DNIs do not work. accept this. internalize that people you don't like will see your posts and engage with them. this is unavoidable and the sooner you make peace with it the freer your mind will be. block the freaks and don't sweat the small stuff

building a tight knit circle of fellow weirdos who vibe with your particular quirks and taste is infinitely more rewarding and sustainable than chasing the biggest numbers

don't respond to bad-faith arguments or bad takes; just block people, blacklist tags, filter post content, and move on. don't feed the trolls (or the bigots)

don't hate-follow

don't tag your hate (ex. if you're posting about how much you hate a ship, don't tag it as that ship, etc.)

don't feel obligated to keep following someone who posts stuff that upsets/depresses/angers/bores you just because you know them really well, or because you're mutuals, or because you used to like what they post. following is nothing personal and neither is unfollowing

op doesn't know you; avoid parasocial relationships

don't pick fights or reblog posts just to disagree/argue

spread joy and positivity in your circles

This is some of the best social media advice (and advice for being a human among humans generally) I've ever seen.

All of this. For people asking how I've survived here for over 12 years...

You didn’t come into this world. You came out of it, like a wave from the ocean. You are not a stranger here.

Pictured: Hermaeus Mora as a plushie, sitting on a Hermaeus Mora blanket. At long last, you can cuddle with the Daedric Prince of Forbidden Knowledge, the One Who Knows, the Master of the Tides of Fate, Gardener of Men, Prince of Fate, the Golden Eye, the Ur-Daedra.

A very small 1-page Skyrim zine I made this summer, in a single day right before Japan Expo. @frostgiant-art also made one about the Thieves' Guild !

nothing new, just average skyrim experience

I love Rorikstead. You go there and the quests are like "Tony the potato farmer needs his rake back from Greg the cabbage farmer" and then you go snooping through people's shitty little farm houses to find books dedicated to the worship of demons and dialogue pointing to secret wizards and suspicious lack of women, even with children running around. Nothing comes of it though. No quest for you to do other than to get Tony his rake back for a 25 septim reward and sit with a weird series of off-putting facts that don't even paint you an entire picture. You just know it's a weird place in your heart and you have to live with that.

that mythic dawn museum in skyrim is extremely funny. imagine if someone opened a bin laden museum in kansas and the owner said that his dad flew the 9/11 plane. also its in his one room house. i am standing on his bed
