welcome to my blog!

hi! i'm jay. i'm very obsessed with my TBOI alternate universe. i'm a big fan of TBOI AUs in general and love to interact with other people who have them... or at least try to. i'm very shy LOL

—

boundaries:

i can't stop anyone from following me, but if you'd like to interact with me, i'd prefer you to be 16+

if you are a proshipper, a loli/shotacon, or support anyone from those communities, please avoid interacting with me—this is not a space friendly to you

i don't like ship or fiction discourse in general. please be wary if you actively engage in that sort of thing or go out of your way to take sides. regardless of what you do or don't support, i do not condone harassment of anyone

—

important organizational tags i use:

#j04.txt - random text posts that aren't particularly important and are just me putting my thoughts down

#j04.png - pics of me!

#my drawings - my art!

#tboi survivor fathoms au - the tag i use whenever i post/reblog anything related to my AU, such as rambles, art, fan art, etc. etc.. feel free to use it for any reason you need to!

#survivor fathoms rambles - the tag i use specifically for lore dumping

if you're interested in seeing NSFT work from me, and you're an adult, feel free to DM me for the username to my NSFT sideblog. make sure that you have your age in your bio—and please don't use a burner account! i need to know who you are, for my own comfort

just saw a 'comments' tab on someones blog you know where the following and likes tabs would be if enabled and it was just showing all the replies theyve made on peoples posts. this is fascinating when did this feature come out

[parakeet]

EMERGENCY - ITS AUTO ENABLED!

if you've made replies on posts there is now a tab on your blog showing every post youve replied to and your reply.

if this is not what you want, either go to your blog and click comments and disable it from there or just go to your individual blogs setting pages. just change it from blue to grey if you dont want everyone to see your replies AND the post you're replying to

PLEASE BE ADVISED that it is set to disabled for blogs that have not made any replies but it will turn ON if you reply with that blog in the future.! i just tested it with my main, which was greyed out but it turned on the moment i left a test reply

figured i'd get the word out bc i have not seen a single mention of this and i'm sure there are plenty of people who maybe comment on things they don't want on display for everyone to see on their blog lol. you can still look at your replies with it toggled off just no one else can, like locking the following and likes list

[parakeet]

so for some reason this feature was actually announced on the tumblr engineering blog. interesting choice not to reblog it to the staff or tumblr blog, esp considering they asked for user input on how to implement it, but i suppose considering the response to the last update maybe the replies would be too overwhelming...

so couple of clarifications. comments are disabled as default for primary blogs that have their likes disabled. they are seemingly enabled for all other blogs that have replied to posts

posts you comment on may show on your followers 'for you' page if you leave your replies publically available. they may, in the future, show in on your followers dashboard if your follower goes to their dash settings and enables this. apparently, if your likes are enabled, your followers can already see those on the dash if they've gone into preferences and selected to do so, which I was unaware of, and that seems to be disabled at default, but it's possible i disabled it previously and forgot about it ig

Happy Pride Month! Here's some art featuring my favourite guys ever! They are Agender Aroaces to me..

Also, have an extra meme I made a while back

[jayluxuosus]

beth's need for control in her life shows up in how she acts around lázaro, i think... she's not terribly restrictive when it comes to his hobbies, surprisingly enough (there was a time when she bought him a gory game the moment she turned 18 because he wanted it for a while, and she's willing to turn a blind eye to minor things she considers sinful specifically for him), but it tends to manifest around his disability

she's always the one that knows best for him, she's always the one that dictates what's safe enough for him to do and what isn't, she's always the one taking his handles into her reins because she doesn't want him to 'get tired' or because she's afraid he'll somehow move himself into danger. while praying to god has always been a very nebulous 'surely i'll be rewarded for my suffering' thing, taking care of her little brother is the one thing that's proof that her actions matter

it's just unfortunate that lázaro usually doesn't get a say in that. he really does love her, and he honestly can't imagine living a life without her, but it's that love that makes him too nervous to speak up. not that she listens to him about this stuff anyway

pride month tomorrow

    The ceramic clinked against the table in front of Cain.

    "Here you go, son," a man spoke. Cain's gaze flickered towards the man's body, then back. He didn't look at the man's face. He couldn't.

    Strips of red, crispy and bubbling with fat, sat on the plate in front of him. He tried to take in a breath, but he couldn't smell the greasy scent that usually made his mouth water.

    He stared at the yolks of the sunny-side up eggs on the edge of the plate. It stared back. His eye throbbed.

    He lifted his fork, then brought it down, jabbing it into the soft, yellow orb. The protective layer broke easily under the metal. His eye throbbed. It spilled its fluid all over the plate, leaking into every crevice, onto the red strips of meat. His eye throbbed. He scraped his utensil across the ceramic, cutting its flesh apart, spreading its lukewarm pus into a symbol, promising him abundance. His eye throbbed.

    "Cain."

    Cain looked up at the man that spoke to him. "Huh?"

    The man placed a gentle, hollow hand on his shoulder. "Your breakfast is getting cold. You... haven't eaten at all."

    He blinked a few times, then glanced back down at his plate. The eggs and bacon were cut up into small, irregular pieces, and none of it had made it into his mouth. "Sorry," Cain muttered. "I guess I'm not hungry."

The best part of liking fictional characters is tormenting them (pose from a twitter post, no blur under read more)

if my lines look wonky it’s because my stylus was dead and I was drawing with my finger

what was your main inspiration for the ossified/tainted edith?

i stumbled onto fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva when i was looking some stuff up. the idea of a person's body progressively turning into bone and effectively becoming a living statue reminded me of edith turning into a pillar of salt in the bible, in a way. i remembered lamenting that i didn't think of this before, because i would have liked to portray something like that with regular edith but i didn't want to change much about her current interpretation, but one of my friends gave me the idea to have that be the focus in her tainted version

the previous iteration of her tainted version was heavily based off of the idea someone had for an edith mod i liked, but i felt a little bit awkward using someone's idea like that in my AU, so i've been wanting to change it for a bit AHA
