Ivo, they/them, 20s, just a German nerd looking for friends

✨️Welcome to whatever this is!✨️

Hi! I've been on here for long enough that I'm starting to understand some of the ettiquette, so I thought I'd make an intro post.

✨️About myself:✨️

Name: Ivo

Pronouns: They/she, but prefer they/them in English because my native language doesn't have it. 🇩🇪

Age: mid-20s.

I'm aroace and some kind of genderqueer. I'm currently between labels, but probably something agenderish demigirly nonbinarious. I deeply relate to the phrase: "I'm culturally female but non-practicing"

Self-diagnosed AuDHD.

✨️(Some of) my interests:✨️

The Magnus Archives, Lotr, the Witcher, Pirates of the Caribbean, Six of Crows and many, many others. I live my life as a series of ever-changing hyperfixations and I can never know what the next one will bring.

✨️My Hobbies:✨️

Writing, Reading, Video games, TTRPGs, Making music, Learning languages (currently Spanish and I really want to try out Finnish)

I'm an aspiring SASS-witch, SASS standing for skeptic, atheist and science-seeking. That means I don't actually believe that magic is real, but that things like meditation, rituals, self-hypnosis and the placebo effect can be very beneficial for one's mental health and wrapping it up in a witchy way makes it way more appealing and brings a little magic to my world. Basically, I believe that pretending to believe in magic is good for me. (If you're interested check out our cool subreddit r/SASSWitches)

I have a youtube channel that I rarely update and an ao3 that may one day house the fanfic I'm trying to write.

i may have the world's least impressive body but at least my thigh muscles are pretty cool and my shoulder muscles are kind of cool too

[ivoliven]

The only compliment I ever received regarding my body and not my hair or tattoos or something is a boy telling me I was small and agile when I was like 13. He wanted to convince me to take a specific role in a game of capture the flag. I am no longer small and agile and I haven't gotten any compliments since then.

I've thankfully never had any body image issues, only a few gender-related ones, and I've learned to love my strong arms and thick thighs, and I honestly don't know if I would even want to get complimented on my body, but Jesus. Would it hurt anyone to say I look good?

I keep getting DMs from scammers who pose as editors and want to edit "some of my pages". It's clear they're scammers and I block them, but I wonder what their goal is. Do they want to steal my ideas? My money? My information? How does this scam work?

This one I trolled and they ended up apologising to me lmao.

Give me less "being kind requires zero effort" and more "being kind is worth the effort it takes."

I'll probably delete this later, but does anyone know if there's any media where there's a trans male character, but it isn't the focus of all of the media's arcs? Like, made up random example, zombie Apocalypse movie where one of the main guys is trans, and it's brought up, but most of the main arcs are about escaping the zombies.

I like horror, sci-fi, high and low fantasy, generally weird and abnormal shows, action, especially if they have lighter and darker moments, but I'll take anything really. Doesn't have to be the main character, but it would be nice if he's at least a recurring side character. To be honest, I'll take tabletop roleplay characters too, I love watching people play tabletop roleplay games.

Even if a character doesn't fully match the description given I'll take it. Not male but transmasc, transmasc coded, trans masc/male by proxy because the actor is, a character you think wears a few too many shirt layers or is a little too relatable in the trans department, horror protagonists with trans coded horrors they endure, genuinely give me all of them. I'll even take crack headcanons that are like "I related to them in a completely different category too hard at 2:00 AM three years ago and he's been a trans man to me ever since."

Without fail, every time a woman is talking about how she does not want to have children and never wants to be pregnant and how medical professionals, romantic interests and family members keep trying to bulldoze her decision and keep expecting her to change her mind because motherhood is something that is expected of all women and it is abhorrent to think a woman could not desire it, a random mother spawns in the comments to be like “Well, actually, you never know! I didn’t want children and then I got pregnant and I realized I love being a mama and I have five little babies now! Could happen to you! 🥰”

Sister, keep that to yourself or make your own goddamn post, you are ignoring that woman’s central concern and belittling her, you don’t even think you’re doing it. Formerly childfree women who ended up having children and loving it are like detransitioners in the sense that there is nothing inherently wrong with changing your mind about having children or realizing you were mistaken about your gender identity but immediately weaponizing your indecision to tell people that the barriers to healthcare and the violations of their bodily autonomy and the way society ignores that person’s wishes is actually okay because you were wrong. Some people do know themselves.

i understand (on paper) why companies are anti-piracy but its funny when random individuals are also strongly anti-piracy. like how does it negatively affect your life if someone you know downloads a cracked torrent of sims 4. you dont work for EA. EA isnt gonna pay you for this. you lose nothing. its fine. chill out.

[redstonedust]

my problem is i think every character concept can be improved by making them a little nonbinary. this has created a comically unrealistic concentration of People With A Weird Gender Thing Going On in my stories and i will not be stopping any time soon. im genders georg.

i love paintings that look as if they have ghosts in them

[beaft]

this painting by andrew wyeth has got SO many ghosts in it. most andrew wyeth paintings have ghosts in, but this is off the scale!

this painting by dragan bibin has only one ghost as far as i can tell, but it's a really scary ghost (the dog thinks so too)

this painting by meraud guevara looks very peaceful, but unfortunately it has a ghost in it. i can't tell you where, but it does

you might think you can see the ghosts in this dorothea tanning painting, but you're wrong. the little girls are just ordinary girls. the actual ghost is behind one of those doors.

marvin cone. for fucks sake just look at it

[faemorrigan]

im realizing very fast that people do not in fact know that sometimes things in stories suck on purpose and it sucking is the point

[faemorrigan]

"this story is misogynistic!!"

>looks inside

>about the pressures of societal misogyny and how its bad

Alright, we're back and this is the first time I'm actually caught up with the podcast.

Notes:

- love seeing Gwen face the consequences of her actions

- the statement isn't that scary, but I feel like it might be one that will become important later

- Alice truly is the only productive person in the OIAR right now, she' literally the best, I love her

- hang on, a minidisc player? Didn't they have one of those in the RPG special? Was that foreshadowing??

I also like to write down quotes that stood out to me, but there weren't any in this episode.

I feel like starfish are one of those animals that are treated as very “normal” by people but absolutely shouldn’t be. Like they’re a wheel of repeating heads connected by a central stomach. They walk around using thousands of tiny sticky hydraulically powered tentacles. They have an eye on the end of each arm. Instead of having a mouth they just have an opening where their entire stomach can be pushed out to engulf prey. And they’re just allowed to exist like this. It’s not illegal or anything.

[redstonedust]

not to be a buzzkill but i kinda hate when i see a video of teenagers goofing off or construction workers having fun and people in the replies are like "now THIS is what 'boys will be boys' should mean!" goofing off isn't a boys exclusive activity......... why did you immediately tie it to their boy-ness....... what's going on there huh............

Hello, tumblr! I saw something on here the other day that worried me, so I decided to Do Science about it. But I can't do it alone: I need your help to build the dataset!

Here's what I need you to do:

If you see a post with a "mature content" label, and it's 2026, DM me a link to the post.

Yes, that's really it.

I am hoping to collect several thousand such posts, so that I have a decent sized dataset. I do not care what the post is about; if it's labeled as "mature content", I want to add it to my dataset.

If I get 10,000 posts in my dataset before August 31st 2026, I will post my preliminary findings then. I won't feel comfortable calling my findings "settled" before 2027, unless I get over 50,000 posts.
