June T. Michael - Fantasy & Fantasien

Jetzt auch auf Tumblr. Aber ich habe keine Ahnung, wie wesen das hier so macht und was überhaupt. Dieser Blog hat kein Konzept oder so. Bunte Mischung aus "Evillious-Memes, die ich lustig finde" und was mich sonst so bewegt, vermutlich. Wichtige "Über mich"-Dinge, die ich vermutlich auch noch posten werde, da ich hier keine Absätze machen kann: Liebste Lieblings-Pronomen sind rhei/rhem/rheir (also analog zu them), aber ich reagiere auf fast alle Pronomen mit Ausnahme von "er" oder damit gebildeten Komposit-Neopronomen. (Im Zweifel: Fragt mich.)

Vorstellung / pinned

Hi!

Hier als June Thalia Michael, kurz JTM.

Ich bin Anfang dreißig, habe was mit Literatur studiert und arbeite "was mit Texten und Bildern" im Verlagswesen.

Musik, die ich höre: #EvilliousChronicles Bücher, die ich lese: #ProgressiveFantastik

Neurodivergent, behindert, Spoonie.

Was ich sonst so mache: - Bücher im Selbstverlag herausbringen. - Diese Bücher selbst illustrieren. - An meinem Buchsatz herumtüfteln. - Lange Blogposts schreiben. Und wenn ich sage "lange", dann meine ich "mehrere tausend Wörter lang".

Unter dem Pseudonym JTM schreibe ich "wholesomen Slice-of-Life-BDSM-#FantasyPorn" - Schreibfortschritte und Schnipsel tagge ich daher meist mit #AmWritingFantasyporn. Ich bin selbst #kinky, #ace-spec, #nicht-binär und date nicht. Wenn ich Dinge mit #BDSM verhashtagge / ausblende, dann handelt es sich größtenteils um kinky Alltagsepisoden, die ich lustig fand. (Oder um meine Prosa.)

Bisher habe ich noch keine Prosaschnipsel hier gepostet, weil ich mich erst am Reinfuchsen bin und weil ich mir nicht sicher bin, wie viele Leute hier auf Deutsch mitlesen. Aber es macht für mich keinen Sinn, auf Englisch hier zu bloggen, wenn meine eigenen Inhalte nun mal auf Deutsch sind.

Daher:

Ich reblogge auch Englisches.

Wenn der Ausgangspost Englisch ist, dann ergänze ich ihn auch auf Englisch.

Eigene Postings dagegen verfasse ich überwiegend auf Deutsch. (Es sei denn, ich übersetze meine eigene Prosa und will bewusst englische Teaser.)

Hier wohnt außerdem neben Partnerperson noch eine süße Katze und lenkt mich gelegentlich ab. "Elter, ich will raus! Ich will raus! Nein, doch nicht! Elter, ich will wieder rein!"

Ihr kennt das vielleicht.

Wird ergänzt, sobald ich weiß, womit.

[junethaliamichael]

Motiviert von den spannenden Buchpostings rund um #BuchmesseZuHause habe ich mich endlich hingesetzt und den Blogpost zum "Lustmädchen" verfasst. Nachdem ihr vor ein paar Tagen schon auf Patreon erste Einblicke erhalten habt, gibt es hier nun ein paar Fakten darüber, warum ich das Märchen so schrieb, wie ... ich es eben schrieb. Das passt auch gut zum #Maerchenmaerz - genau in dieser Zeit ein Märchen zu veröffentlichen.

Interview mit mir bei Stephano

Wer mir auf Mastodon folgt, hat das Interview vermutlich ohnehin längst gelesen. Ich verlinke es direkt hier, damit es nicht übersehen wird: https://stephano.eu/2025/07/20/june-t-michael/ Stephano hat mich selbst angeschrieben, und ich war ziemlich erstaunt, nachdem ich die Webseite durchgeschaut habe. Es ist offensichtlich, dass wir eine Philosophie beim Schreiben verfolgen, die…

[junethaliamichael]

#PhantastikPrompts 4.07.25: Plots, die nur funktionieren, weil alle d*** sind? Discuss.

Das wird ein Blogpost. Nicht nur, weil ich sehr viele Gedanken dazu habe, sondern auch, weil ein Blogpost sich eher anfühlt wie ein Kurzvortrag. Und das ist, was ich tun möchte. Ich möchte einen Vortrag zum Thema halten, aber ich möchte zumindest einen Teil dessen, was ich hier jetzt aufschreibe, nicht diskutieren, weil es (für mich!) nicht zur Diskussion steht. Content Notes: Einmal schreibe…

Been a while since I drew a furry comic based off of a tumblr post

[junethaliamichael]

Just some rambling about my physical state and my mom's total disregard for artists

I've been sick and in pain for the last couple of days (which means more sick and more in pain than my baseline which I don't even bother noticing anymore) and my brain keeps nagging me: "But right now, you don't hurt overly much. Just a 3 or 4 on the scale. You might work a bit."

No I might not. I seriously shouldn't. I'm doing stuff that requires high concentration and attention to detail, which is not possible when on meds.

Also, yesterday I talked my mom out of buying overprized AI garbage in a local shop (my family is looking for a new bedroom picture). I was exhausted but proud.

The very next moment she sends me links from Temu, of all places, where she wants to buy a pic that (as far as I could assess while on my phone, without the app, swiping away billions of ads and pop-ups) looks like another piece of AI garbage. But for one third of the price.

I don't know if I could stall for time by telling her I can't properly assess the pictures on the phone or if she already bought them.

The blatant disregard for the work of artists is especially jarring since she raised two kids to be artists and both my parents are pretty decent artists themselves. But they just ... don't want to spend money on art. They see it as a commodity that will hang in their rooms for some years and then gets discarded for something new.

I'm angry and hurt.

CAN ANYONE HEAR ME

[molly-ren]

hey what's up with the "!" in fandoms? i.e. "fat!" just curious thaxxx <3

I have asked this myself in the past and never gotten an answer.

Maybe today will be the day we are both finally enlightened.

[molly-ren]

woodsgotweird said: man i just jumped on the bandwagon because i am a sheep. i have no idea where it came from and i ask myself this question all the time

Maybe someone made a typo and it just got out of hand?

[stevita]

I kinda feel like panic!at the disco started the whole exclamation point thing and then it caught on around the internet, but maybe they got it from somewhere else, IDK.

The world may never know…

[molly-ren]

Maybe it’s something mathematical?

[michaelblume]

I’ve been in fandom since *about* when Panic! formed and the adjective!character thing was already going strong, pretty sure it predates them.

[hosekisama]

It’s a way of referring to particular variations of (usually) a character — dark!Will, junkie!Sherlock, et cetera. I have suspected for a while that it originated from some archive system that didn’t accommodate spaces in its tags, so to make common interpretations/versions of the characters searchable, people started jamming the words together with an infix.

(Lately I’ve seen people use the ! notation when the suffix isn’t the full name, but is actually the second part of a common fandom portmanteau. This bothers me a lot but it happens, so it’s worth being aware of.)

[nentuaby]

“Bang paths” (! is called a “bang"when not used for emphasis) were the first addressing scheme for email, before modern automatic routing was set up. If you wanted to write a mail to the Steve here in Engineering, you just wrote “Steve” in the to: field and the computer sent it to the local account named Steve. But if it was Steve over in the physics department you wrote it to phys!Steve; the computer sent it to the “phys” computer, which sent it in turn to the Steve account. To get Steve in the Art department over at NYU, you wrote NYU!art!Steve- your computer sends it to the NYU gateway computer sends it to the “art” computer sends it to the Steve account. Etc. (“Bang"s were just chosen because they were on the keyboard, not too visually noisy, and not used for a huge lot already).

It became pretty standard jargon, as I understand, to disambiguate when writing to other humans. First phys!Steve vs the Steve right next to you, just like you were taking to the machine, then getting looser (as jargon does) to reference, say, bearded!Steve vs bald!Steve.

So I’m guessing alternate character version tags probably came from that.

[raincityruckus]

100% born of bang paths. fandom has be floating around on the internet for six seconds longer than there has been an internet so early users just used the jargon associated with the medium and since it’s a handy shorthand, we keep it.

[sassafrassarah]

Absolutely from the bang paths–saw people using them in early online fandom back in 1993 for referring to things.

[taraljc]

I had been doing it for a very, very long time but never actually knew the actual name for it. This is exciting! I like learning things.

[transformativeworks]

There is a Fanlore Page for this!

[thatfriendlyanon]

reblog this and put in the tags what kind of content you watch on youtube

[nicolethered]

FYI iPhone users!

[demonicae]

Oh... oh that's disgusting.

[cryoverkiltmilk]

For emphasis - YOU HAVE TO TURN THIS OFF FOR EACH INDIVIDUAL APP

[addamatic]

I am glad this is getting noticed, and also as someone who has been anti-siri for years … this has always been the case. You will have to do this every time you have an iOS update. Sometimes it toggles and sometimes it doesn’t. Even for “small” updates. You need to look every time.

[hyperbali]

I was curious, so I checked...

Artists, please note this is also happening to your iPad. TURN THAT SHIT OFF.

[wizardarchetypes]

not me having to toggle this off on the medical app i use for my telehealth therapy appointments 💀

there's a really funny 3d printing controversy going on btw.

if you don't know, there's a very popular 3d printing model out there called "benchy". this is used for benchmarking your 3d printer because it's a difficult print and will help test it out.

this is so widely used that people make their own little versions of it, remixing the 3d model to make benchy look cooler and stuff. however, a new company owns the benchy license. they are sending copyright takedowns to all those who wrongfully uploaded the benchy model.

of course, this is pissing off the 3d printing community greatly. everyone loved benchy and have used it for years. so someone on reddit decided to make a new model that is designed as a 3d printing stress test. one that works a lot like benchy, and people are freely able to edit it as they please. you know what they called it?

boaty.

It's here!! 🎉🎉🎉

Too Hot to Handle is published! Buy and read and have for your own!

Summary: Carter regrets the way he treated Evan before he realised androids were people. Before they were given rights and protections and were paid for their work. When Evan returns to the police force as a Special Android Consultant he does his best to keep out of Evan’s hair.

But now the weird, sex-fetish, android murders Evan’s been working on have connected to Carter’s ordinary-seeming robbery-gone-wrong, and they can’t avoid each other anymore. Trapped in a snowstorm, Evan is infected with a virus that will kill him if they can’t find a cure… Unless Carter helps him to satisfy the virus’s demands…

It never fails to amuse me when I get “hello influencer” emails wanting me to push questionable products to my followers.

Like worstie, I can barely promote my own published book without wanting to curl up and die.

The fuck makes you think I’ll shill your discount wish shit?

[thebibliosphere]

Also, it's Tumblr. If I try to tell anyone about your knock-off Wish-quality sex toy there’s going to be a horde of Autistic lesbians doing a power point presentation in the notes about safe sex toy material and correct battery storage.

Which I am 100% down for, but it will not get you any sales.

[cookieoppressor]

I was trying to figure out if you were someone important on a other platform, because there's no way in hell anyone actually thinks you can be classified as "Influencer" if you have a big Tumblr blog.

And then also think advertising to this mob would be a good idea

[thebibliosphere]

There are actually lots of people who sell stuff successfully on here, usually drop ship stuff.

They’re just not disclosing it as ads, which they are supposed to do, and instead it's marketed in a very Tumblr-esque way which can be summed up as “omg guys look how CUTE this is” followed by a different account underneath going “omg found it!!” and it links to a drop ship site with the item(s).

And the link usually has an affiliate tracker in it, which you may or may not be able to spot unless you’re familiar with them, which is also something you are legally supposed to disclose.

I used to get a lot of offers from around 2016-2020 to sell “moon lamps” on here, y’know those orb lights that look like a moon? Yeah. I was offered a higher kickback to make it look like I wasnt posting an add because these sellers know Tumblrites don’t like ads.

They wanted it to look as organic and hyped up as possible and then I’d just so happen to be like “omg you guys it's on sale” and post a link. Which is skeevy as shit and also illegal af in the US.

It’s like the insta/tiktok girlies saying “link in bio” to get around saying “here’s a product I make money on if you buy it” because they want to sound like your friend because people are more likely to impulse buy stuff if a “friend” is recommending something.

They’re also trusting that everyone knows “link in bio” means “affiliate link” which is technically not enough of a disclosure but whatever.

This is why I tag all my own book promos with “affiliate links” because depending on which storefront you buy Hunger Pangs from, I may get a kickback from the vender which I do to help mediate the fees I lose from distribution. It’s not much—literal pennies in some cases—but I’m still legally required to state it.

It’s also why when I do post products I use or like, I make a point of letting people know I’m not an affiliate and not sponsored because despite the legal ramifications these people are flirting with by not disclosing their affiliate status, I want to be fully transparent with my followers when it comes to me trying to sell them things.

Y’all keep my lights on by reading my work and through my ko-fi and patreon. I am not about to risk that trust for the sake of some shitty vibrator sales from a sketch-ass drop shipper who wants me to pretend I’m not selling you things.

So, yeah. People do successfully sell stuff on here. A lot of us small indie creators sell our own work all the time.

But there are also drop-ship sellers on here who get enough of a kick-back from affiliate links to make selling cutesy kitsch stuff worth their time on here. They’re just making sure you don’t know you’re being marketed to.

[earhartsease]

those product posts thinly disguised as "omfg look at this cool thing!/I found it online!" seem to come in waves and once you've noticed the pattern they're just annoying - unless they're marine biology/dinosaur plushies of course in which case it's just an opportunity to gawp

[a-kind-of-merry-war]

The most recent one I can think of is that jellyfish light. That's 100% an ad, just hidden in tumblr-speak.

I find I can generally tell when it's an ad posted by a corp/dropshipper vs someone extremely passionate selling something they made and love, but there's a lot of the former floating around

[stjohnstarling]

God, thank you for saying something. I seriously considered making this same post back in July when I started noticing more and more posts of this kind with thousands of notes. Some of them were getting pushed onto my dashboard from a few of the most popular tags I track (like "artists on tumblr") but a few were getting shared by actual people who I follow (omg these ethereal dragon hair clips are perfect for cosplays... 😒)

(Screenshots I took at the time - this particular blog has been thoroughly scrubbed from existence in the meantime.)

There is an extensive interconnected network of blogs with URLs like haha-lol-cute-funny, daily-meme-inspiration, omg-wow-tiktoks, etc. that bulk post vast quantities of stolen memes with broad appeal, spam them in a million popular tags, and then reblog them back and forth from each other. Once any given meme takes off, the OP is edited and the meme replaced with one of these stealth ads. Then, because of the inflated note count, the ad version of the post will get pushed to the dashboards of anyone tracking those tags.

If you go into the notes of any of these, half the reblogs will still be of the original meme. Here's an example: Original meme / the ad it turned into.

(The OP of this one has already been taken down - screenshots because the images in this post are also liable to get scrubbed.)

The note count has the added benefit of making it look like thousands of real people are excited about the item in the post, and, for better or worse, people are strongly motivated by things they think others in their community are doing.

[stjohnstarling]

I see all the linked posts have already been deleted lmao.

[thebibliosphere]

lol they’re deleting things so fast tonight.

They really don’t like being called out.

I know this is a fairly famous post on tumblr and is for good reason.

If I could have your attention for a moment though I want you to understand that what is going on here not just your run of the mill conspiracy minded person (the friend not the person who found the spaghetti) rather what is going on is antisemitism.

The use of word Cabal and the mention of George in this which I'm betting is George Soros and then the They from Cabal who planned it putting the hints in movies, shows, the Olympics, etc because They control it all.

This is all antisemitism and antisemitic dog-whistles. The friend is antisemitic conspiracy pipeline. So while the ad in the movie was for spaghetti and not some secret hint about Covid-19 and it makes for a funny post that friend more then likely has gone further down that antisemitic conspiracy pipeline.

I want you to ask yourselves how much antisemitic dog-whistles might be going around you that you don't notice or don't pay attention too because unless you are Jewish how many of you notice any of that in what the friend said.

So please learn to hear what hear, learn to see what see, because it is going on all around you and once you see it and hear it say something. Don't let it antisemitism run rampant around you because it is never harmless.
