Intro post:

Hi! Call me Blue/Orchid/anything else u come up with. It’s tumblr. You’re creative. Pick a nickname I’ll probably respond to it.

ASK ME FOR MY PRONOUNS. If you’re writing about me or smth and don’t want to go to the trouble of asking, please use every pronoun you can think of in the same sentence. Same with terms of address; stick them in a blender and mix them up unless I tell you otherwise thanks.

If you’re following for a Minecraft gimmick blog im sorry to say you’re not gonna get much of that here; I just love Minecraft orchids.

Boundaries:

If you send me an ask, message, or submission, there is no guarantee that I will read and/or post it. It’s my blog and I choose what I interact with.

If you DM me and I don’t know who you are, I may choose to ignore/close the DMs or block you. That’s not a comment on you at all, I just don’t like DMing ppl I don’t know on tumblr.

I reserve the right to block, unfollow, or otherwise not interact with a blog or post. We don’t do the scrupulous “if you don’t follow/reblog XYZ you’re a bad person” here. You are not entitled to my time or energy. I am not a celebrity. This is a blog I use for fun.

If you need something tagged consistently, ask me and I will do my best, but be aware that I cannot guarantee consistency. At some point I will probably forget to tag it. If you cannot handle something not being tagged, it may be best to unfollow.

I lose speech/language sometimes. Some posts I make will be made with AAC. The grammar and formatting of those posts will look different. Don’t be an asshole about it. If you’re rude about poor grammar/spelling/coherency on a post I will likely block you.

Ableism, queerphobia of any type, racism, etc. is not tolerated here. Honest questions are welcome. I’m glad to talk but I will not put up with bait asks or bad faith discussions.

If you know me irl, do not use information on this blog to out me, or tell other people about my blog without my consent. If you do that, I will block you/cut off contact. I keep my irl and internet life separate for a reason.

Tags:

#blue chatter: my personal posts, or posts I’ve reblogged with additions I’ve made.

#image ID: reblogs I make to add an image ID to a post, or posts that have already been ID’d.

Don’t expect more organizational tags than this. Even remembering to tag these things is hard.

There’s something so healing about a bagel with cream cheese. So beautiful, so pure. Thank you bagel with cream cheese my beloved.

my favorite grounding techniques when i start to spiral

The 5-5-5 technique: Name 5 things you can hear, 5 things you can see, and 5 things you can touch. Helps move your thoughts away from spiraling and into your body and the present moment.

Anchoring statement: My name is ___. I'm X years old. I live in City, State, Country. It's 10:30 in the morning. I'm sitting at my desk. Especially when the spiraling is around identity, I find it calming to ground myself in the facts.

Count backwards from 100 in 7s -- so 100, 93, etc. I do this in Mandarin (my second language) to make it harder. Since my brain has to struggle to calculate + translate, it helps to take my main out of whatever thought patterns are starting to run rampant.

Hold something cold/warm and notice the sensation. Most commonly people recommend ice cubes, which I don't really have access to, but it can definitely be calming to focus on the sensation of ice in your hand. I usually hold a cup of tea/warm water and notice how the warm ceramic feels against my skin.

Feel free to save these for future use or add on your own favorites!

My favorite is counting how many shapes I can see in my field of vision - How many circles? How many squares? Any triangles or funky shapes?

[suicideenthusiast-backup]

So cool to see air fryers becoming popular. Also known as stylites, Air Friars were aescetics who lived their entire lives on top of tall poles-

Love this village that Tumblr truly is because it's just us sticking our heads out the window and yelling across the street, "hey, is AO3 down!?"

[azrielgreen]

friend across the street yelled back, "No, it's fine!"

[azrielgreen]

Someone else yells, "Maybe it's your 400+ open tabs!"

[beaft]

platonic third base: when you get to know someone well enough that they start making mortifyingly specific observations about you

[beaft]

yesterday i was chilling with my friend and there was an ice cream van outside and every time the jingle played i'd look out the window and after the third time i did this my friend said, accurately, 'i think you want to get ice cream but you're scared of the ice cream man.' devastating

"There is at least one color blind synesthete on record who reported that she could see colors in numbers that she couldn't see in the real world; referring to them as "martian colors". Her color anomaly, caused by deficient cone pigments, allowed her to see only a limited range of real colors. But perhaps the color neurons in V4, having been specified genetically, were largely intact and were being indirectly stimulated by cross activation via graphemes. (Ramachandran and Hubbard, 2001b). This negates the memory association theory and supports the sensory cross activation theory."

[becausegoodheroesdeservekidneys]

I'm not colour blind, but my synaesthesia includes seeing numbers as having colours among other things, and my number 9 is a colour that doesn't exist in the real world. So, I can imagine a scenario where that happens a lot with a colour blind synaesthete

[birdofmay]

^^ yeah same, the colours I see are hard to describe because they're not "our" standard colours. Brighter, many colours at once, but not muddy, they co-exist and don't mix, but are colours of their own

hello nerds i got you some technoblade variants today
