Turn on "prevent third-party sharing" in your settings!

Go into your settings, click on your blog name, scroll down and enable "prevent third-party sharing". I'm gonna be honest, I question how much/if this even prevents any AI bullshit, but do it just in case anyway.

Edit: On Mobile it's the Settings Gear, Visibility, Prevent third-party sharing.

You have to turn that on for all your blogs separately.

ItaSaku Discord Opening

Hello friends! The holiday season is upon us and as is traditional the ItaSaku Discord server will briefly open up for new members during this period! 🎄

What is the ItaSaku Discord server?

A place where everyone nutty over ItaSaku gathers. We organize events like ItaSaku week and a special Valentines event in 2024, but also discuss fanfics, there's a big writer corner, and we share pics of food and pets.

The server is inhabited by some great names in the fandom. Think of writers like @rabidbehemoth @sariasprincy @kendochick-moor and many others!

ItaSaku isn't my main ship...

All good. We are all multishippers and respect everyone's shipping choices.

I might not be active enough...

In general we do ask everyone to be a little active. Say hello once every now and then. Post a picture of your dog. Share your new favorite ItaSaku work. It helps to create a space that isn't inhabited by mostly quiet individuals.

Anything else?

Fandom bullshit isn't tolerated. This is a strictly drama free zone. 18+ only but you can pick whether or not to see NSFW content.

Sounds like a nice place to hang out? Sure is. Step right up and follow the link below to get in. Hurry now. The link is only valid until December 29.

hey, don’t cry. one half flour one half yogurt knead into dough and fry for easy flatbread and dip in balsamic vinegar, okay?

rudjedet

After three batches, my findings so far:

I use full fat Greek yoghurt and self-rising flour

Ratio by weight

Add a pinch of salt

Knead until no longer sticky, adding more flour if necessary

Roll them with olive oil instead of flour and fry in an otherwise unoiled, preheated pan (medium heat) (trust in the lord; it will seem like it's going to stick to the pan at first but they'll unstick in about 15 seconds)

Roll them thin but not too thin; mine take about 45 seconds on either side

Serving with garlic butter is also a very good option

I’m gonna be eating these for a month

This actually works?? Two-ingredient bread??

I gotta try it.

HOLY SHIT THAT IS NAAN! HOW DID I NOT KNOW NAAN WAS THAT EASY TO MAKE?

A late submission for Kakashi Week 2023: Recovery.

[obkk; ninken; obito survives the war; nightmares; comfort]

Bedtime Story

Obito is fighting a lot of demons because all those voices and urges can’t disappear without a trace all at once. He needs support, he needs someone to believe in him. Kakashi gives him that. They sit on his bed. Obito has learnt what affection is like, and he is learning how to show it himself. Deep in his heart he knows he doesn’t deserve it, but Kakashi’s voice is reassuring. He says that he cares; he says that he loves him, the real him, and that he will be there. Through all the bad things, unpleasant things. Obito asks to tell him this again, and one more time. He draws Kakashi closer, their foreheads touch. Obito’s hand moves slowly, gently and stops over Kakashi’s heart. It flutters; it overflows with fondness. For a split second everything stops. Mokuton release swiftly pierces the heart. Kakashi recoils, finds Obito’s gaze, and doesn’t recognize the face three inches away. Mad red eyes are there instead of Obito’s familiar loyal, wondering brown.

Kakashi wakes up in cold sweat scooting away to the edge of the bed. It’s the same bed, the same dark room, so he’s trying to shake it off as fast as he can and get a grip on reality. He’s not new to nightmares, but this… This was horror. Seeing those eyes again, filled with that ruthless crazy determination to put an end to everything, was nothing less than devastating. He turns on the night lamp to invite some warm light into the bedroom and dissipate the remaining fear of… Obito.

He takes a deep inaudible breath and turns to look at the man sleeping next to him. Splayed on his side of the bed, Obito is occupying as much space as possible. He is lying on his back with the blanket covering only his stomach. His left leg is resting on Bull who doesn’t mind serving as a footrest as long as he is allowed on the bed now and then. Another ninken occupies half of Obito’s pillow (because “He can’t just take my favorite pillow, Boss! I don’t care if it was his in the first place!”). Unaware of his furry rival, Obito has his head tilted to the left, so Biscuit’s butt is only millimeters away from his nose.

Kakashi contemplates the scene and can’t help but chuckle. After having taken in the view, he turns off the light and quietly moves closer to gently guide Obito’s head away from the dog’s bum to the right side. He notices a couple of dog hairs on his cheek and blows them away. Then he settles on his left side next to Obito, facing him. Before Kakashi can go back to sleep he takes Obito’s right arm and hugs it in, close to his chest.

It was just a bad dream.

Okay. Yeah. I've seen the post.

I'm not panicking and you shouldn't either.

What I am going to suggest is that us indie artist & writer folx - @thebibliosphere , @seananmcguire , @dduane , @simakai , @somecunttookmyurl , @renthony , @mayakern , @fatsexybitch , @natalieironside, @lauraannegilman , @optimysticals , @theshitpostcalligrapher - tag others, I know I'm forgetting so many people - should probably chat about where we want to start building community.

Like, we gotta. That's an unfortunate part of being a creative in the world as it is. So rather than wandering in various directions and hoping people will follow us, we might wanna like... try to do things in an organized fashion. Or at least a semi-organized fashion.

thebibliosphere

Yeah, I'm not panicking (just sad), but yeah, we need to organize and do... something idk. I'm sending you a DM, Spider.

vaspider

Yeah. I'm not panicking, to be extremely clear. I've been through this before. Anybody over 30 has been through it several times.

thebibliosphere

Gonna be real, though. I hate losing my community spots over and over again. Like @seananmcguire said in another thread of this post, I still miss LiveJournal.

natalieironside

This sucks so bad. I like it here. All my friends are here. :(

theshitpostcalligrapher

i got the chat invite, will be joining about this when I'm able to

Since there's some confusion in the tags:

Tumblr is starting to actually sunset it seems.

The site will still be basically functional but we don't really have a way of knowing for how long.

It could be months or years, but overall functionality is going to start going down. The staff is being cut down to a skeleton crew.

Here are the threads for The Post:

It's time to start coordinating on where to go next.

Tumblr had just recently started up when Live Journal was sold to a Russian company so this is where most of LiveJournal ended up and that was on purpose. People chose as groups to come here.

(LiveJournal was where most of FF.net and a fair number of deviantart artists had ended up previously when those sites had been losing popularity and having issues)

Honestly though it's been a nice decade plus here and I guess nothing lasts forever.

It's time to start archiving your blog, archiving your favorite blogs run by other people, and setting up new accounts to put everything elsewhere.

With Black Friday around the corner now is a good time to buy some flash drives or other storage for your backups.

Maybe make a youtube video of what your blog/favorite blogs look/looked like while the site is still functional to remember them by.

People will begin to discuss the merits of various platforms/websites and compare and contrast them and give them a trial run while keeping their account open on tumblr for a while.

Different communities will have different needs. Tumblr really was amazing because it catered to so many different styles of expression and because of that so many different kinds of communities could make a home here; but most sites aren't really built like that so that's where people may find some sticking points.

It may mean that we won't have a one-stop website for everything that we have a niche interest for anymore and instead have multiple sites for different things.

And of course there will be things (probably distinct reblog chains and tags scrolling / note scrolling) that only Tumblr did unless the new sites incorporate that into their design.

What's great about the fact that we were given the info now is that we can coordinate where to go to a certain extent.

Tumblr being built the way it is has fostered a lot of unique interaction but at the end of the day it's still the community and comraderie that makes this place home.

If we coordinate where to go then we'll have an easier time getting started there.

I do feel extra bad for all the recent Reddit and Twitter influx because while I'm sure you all knew you were running from a burning building into a sinking ship, no one knew quite how fast we were taking on water it seems.

creativepromptsforwriting

Googling a word as a writer that you've always assumed has one meaning is so stupid because, on one hand, why doubt yourself? You used that word before, it's a normal word, and it will mean what you think it meant. You're just wasting time that you could use for actually writing.

But on the other hand, what if you find out that it's not what you always thought it is? What now? Now you question your whole existence, and there is no time left for writing anymore.

Me reminding myself the difference between discreet and discrete *every time I used either of then* EVEN THOUGH I KNOW I KNOW.

Like no I get that fanfic feels like a big deal but it literally isn’t.

It is just you playing barbies with your blorblos to exorcise trauma or make yourself laugh or anything in that very large category.

To writers: if you aren’t inspired, drop the project. If you don’t love the fandom, leave. If you have a 20th new idea and all you ever write are beginnings you are still a writer.

Fuck everyone this is your archive and I am tired of the pressure writers are putting on themselves. (And that other people are putting on writers)

The internet is on fire and we are floating on a rock in space for fuck’s sake post your forever unfinished chapter of that one fic you know you will never finish. It doesn’t matter what others think, only what you think.

Maybe this chapter is the only thing you will write of this story and maybe someone will read it and go « god damn » and get inspired to do their own thing WE DON’T KNOW HOW THE WORLD WORKS.

My point is it’s fanfiction it can be terrible and it can be bad and anyone who reads it and thinks wow this is bad and COMMENTS on it is a fandom idiot who doesn’t understand how fandom works and is therefore irrelevant.

Practice and write that shitty half baked story and only write a bit of it.

The next one will be better.

The one after will be worse.

Your brain just hasn’t locked in on the recipe. Keep stirring the pot, try new ingredients, don’t freeze because you aren’t getting it right.
