Introduction post <3

Hey, I'm Nick and any pronoun's good for me. I'm a minor, biromantic and asexual, and I'm an Indonesian living in Australia which is pretty neato. My favourite colour is Red, and my main playlist on Spotify is (currently) 45 hours long.

My account will really just me be posting/talking about things that I don't get to talk about often, like fandoms I'm in or music I really like. I'll also be drawing fan art/writing fan fiction so if you're interested there'll be a lot of that.

I'm very very new to Tumblr, like stupid new, I barely know how to format a post so please bare with me.

My main show fandoms but they progressively get worse:

BBC Ghosts, Dead Poets Society, Watcher, Gentleman Jack, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, The French Dispatch, Jojo Rabbit, The Thick Of it, Cunk (on everything), The Grand Budapest Hotel, M*A*S*H, Man Who Fell To Earth, House MD, Top Gear/Grand Tour, Robert Erwin, 12 Angry Men.

My favourite musical artists (they're all red flags):

David Bowie, Jeff Buckley, Nick Drake, Radiohead, The Style Council, Tchaikovsky, The Smiths, The Cranberries, Siouxsie And The Banshees, Strawberry Switchblade, The Talking Heads, The Velvet Underground, King Crimson, ELO, Pulp, The Kinks, The Doors, The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Joy Division, New Order, Depeche Mode, The Cure, Crowded House, Nirvana, Sound Garden, Blur, Pig With The Face of A Boy, The Clash, The Jam, OMITD, Soft Cell,Led Zeppelin, Stone Temple Pilots, Soundgarden, Joan Baez, Smashing Pumpkins, B-52's, Supertramp, Tom Cardy, Janis Joplin, Stevie Nicks, Duran Duran, Elvis Costello and Horrible Histories (they count as musical artists).

Some of my favourite ships are:

Buffy x Faith Anne Lister x Anne Walker Todd Anderson x Neil Perry Steven Meeks x Gerard Pitts The Captain x Lieutenant Havers Adam Kenyon x Fergus Williams Hauptmann (Captain) Klenzendorf x Freddy Finale Ben Willbond x Never Playing a Straight Character Any of the previously stated musicians x myself /j

Instruments I play:

Bass guitar, electric guitar, saxophone, clarinet, trumpet, piano, ukulele and recorder. Honestly, I fully believe I play recorder and ukulele the best, I absolutely shred.

I love history, I love it to pieces. I'm a history girly in the sense that I can, will and happily talk about the history of make up in varying cultures and it's evolution, or the French Revolution and Napoleon, or historical art movements, or Ancient Greece and Rome, Henry and his Wives, Lady Jane Grey, so on and so forth, but also I'm a modern history boy and I will talk about tanks and planes and warfare and trenches and planes again I really really like planes. I LOVE Eastern world history, specifically different types of asian history, and if you do too then you're cool as hell. I enjoy historical and current politics (fat red flag), psychology (woah there's another one), and also I love love love transportation, specifically boats and planes and trains, but planes are my favourite. Also bikes.

If any of these things interest you, I would ABSOLUTELY be interested in talking about any of them! I plan to be as active as possible on here, but I'm still in school so I'll probably be a bit spotty. Feel free to interact, ask questions or completely dunk on me, I'd love to gain some mutuals <3

Look.

I have made you a chart. A very simple chart.

People say "You have to draw the line somewhere, and Biden has crossed it-" and my response is "Trump has crossed way more lines than Biden".

These categories are based off of actual policy enacted by both of these men while they were in office.

If the ONLY LINE YOU CARE ABOUT is line 12, you have an incredible amount of privilege, AND YOU DO NOT CARE ABOUT PALESTINIANS. You obviously have nothing to fear from a Trump presidency, and you do not give a fuck if a ceasefire actually occurs. You are obviously fine if your queer, disabled, and marginalized loved ones are hurt. You clearly don't care about the status of American democracy, which Trump has openly stated he plans to destroy on day 1 he is in office.

if you want to vote for a third party, what you are going to do is vote for biden in november 2024 and then as soon as that’s done, start trying to get ranked choice voting in your state

we will ALWAYS be a two party system until voting reform happens, and voting reform won’t happen if project 2025 happens.

suck it up and vote biden, then put the next four years to good use

[phantomrose96]

The rationale I've seen from people always talks about "sending a signal" to Biden by not voting for him. But you know what signal is sent when Republicans win the White House and Democrats lose? The signal is "Conservative policies win, and Democrats need to move further right to stand a chance."

That's the signal. If Trump pulls a 51% in the votes, the signal is that the centrist voters in the middle find the Democrats too liberal and would rather throw their stock in with the Republicans. And to stand a chance at winning them back, Democrats need to become less liberal, and more conservative.

It's a terrible system. It's awful that it works like that. But knowing the boat is shitty doesn't make it any better to stab it with more holes.

“indians and asians” where exactly do you think india is

[junglejim4322]

still wondering what ensued from this post that was bad enough to make me delete it when i was 16

[nicks-disks]

THIS.

The west's perception of Asians is almost strictly regarding EAST Asians who have the paler skin and smaller eyes that we're used to seeing in media. The west have grown used to identifying them as 'Asians' no matter the specific nationality they may hold or the culture they come from. To many, Japanese, Chinese and Koreans kind of meld into a huge lump, and that lump is just known as 'Asian'

This exposure to East Asian people and culture for decades, no matter how racist, insulting an inaccurate it is, has declared East Asians to be THE Asians in the minds of those in the West, and practically any other Asian is kind of seen as a separate thing. I ask you this sincerely, but when I ask you to picture an Asian person, what comes to mind?

As a result, South Asians, Central Asians and even South East Asians are all sort of lost in the mix. I mean, the Middle East is Asian. I'm going to say that again, the Middle East is Asian. If you knew that already it seems like common sense but cannot tell you the minds that exploded when I mentioned that at the family function, and I think it's really important in recognising how the identity of the word 'Asian' can me muddied beyond recognition. I have never ever heard the Middle East described as Asian really

Do I think this stems from some kind of lowkey racism? I'll say yes while trying not to diminish all that East Asia has done in terms of carving a well deserved place out in pop culture. Unfortunately, even with all the racism that East Asians face I do think that the colour of their skin has aided in their massive rise to popularity. Of course there's other factors sych as a Western Audience alreay being 'used to' their pressence on screen and again I don't want to entirely wash away everything they've done by saying 'oh it's because they're light-skinned' but once you hear the kind of rhetoric directed at other Asians it's something that you have to consider. Whiteness is a very important factor to many white people, and even if you aren't while culturally and ethnically, if parts of you resemble a white person then that's close enough. Or, it at least makes you better than the others who don't have such resemblance, I mean that's the whole idea with the category of 'white-passing'

I'm half Indonesian, and growing up I have had so many white kids tell me 'you're not Asian, you're too dark to be Asian and your eyes aren't squinty enough' even calling me a 'dirt-skinned Asian' DIRT SKINNED WHAT and these were CHILDREN. Like between the ages of 6-10. And the worst thing is I know I have it easy by comparison because I've had Indian and Pakistani friends who have been actually beaten because of their skin colour and 'the way they smell like curry' which is a WILD thing for a fucking 12 year old to do to another 12 year old.

This gross distinction between the more desirable light skinned Asian and the less desired darker skinned has separated the word Asian into just being for East Asians, while the rest of us are not even thought about. When we are thought about, it's with this air of disgust and uncleanliness, because our countries and cultures are met with the attitutes that they're unstomachable to those in the West

Is this the fault of East Asians? Obviously fucking not. It's white prejudice seeping into other parts of the world and picking and choosing the aspects that make them the most comfortable. Still, though, I'm very happy in Korea's massive breakthrough to a Western audience, and I'm glad Japanese culture is still being adored today. Now I'm say it's China's turn but the West's hatred towards China even within their love for East Asia is a whole nother discussion

Please, if you're white, check your bias. How do you view East Asians as opposed to literally the rest of the whole continent? Do you feel as though they're 'cleaner' or 'more advanced'? Can you name a country in South Asia off the top of your head? Central Asia? West Asia? South East Asia? Please, the rest of us are worth loving, or at the very least, knowing about

Personal rant but Indonesia is the 4th most populated country in the world and I have met perhaps a grand total of 15 people here who knew the country before me telling them. People who had gone to Bali and assumed that Bali was an entire country, not realising there was like 17,000-18,000 islands attached to it. I love my culture, I love living in the West (for the most part) but it gets so lonely, you feel a bit like an alien because where are you supposed to fit into these peoples heads? They don't really like you, and then compare you to another completely different group of people who they don't understand at all, not even bothering to respect them that much, just using them as a benchmark for you.

South East Asians are literally the closest to East Asians, so much so that sometimes we do fall into the Western idea of Asian (yippee!!!) but still, sometimes i dont feel that privilege. My skin is literally the most lightest tan, I speak without an accent and I have lived most of my life in Australia, I am the closest you could ever be to a white person without being white and yet I never will be, and the culture I'm a part of, that I love, clings to me and begs to be loved, to be spoken about and to be shared. We all want to share our cultures and lives and experiences and loves with you, youse just don't want to listen

Also, even though I'm genuinely pale as hell, if I were to go back to Indonesia now they'd tell me I'm dark and would suggest me to get skin brightening syrums. My mother was bullied and literally beat in the 90s-early 2000s because her skin was so dark that it made her 'look like a servant'. Her skin's like, a deep olive. These divisions based on the colour of your skin are literally embedded within some of the cultures themselves, so of course they're going to be carried over and re-enforced by the West when looking at the continent of Asia.

Anyways this was a disproportionate response to the original post and after re-reading it I so genuinely apologise for taking the lense away from Indians and South Asians, I just wanted to talk about how every Asian suffers as a result of this. South and West Asians get it especially bad though because the fucking media is so cruel to them, please, take the time to fall in love with their cultures and countries I promise you it is the most wonderful, gorgeous thing

NORMA!!! She's a menace

Norma is @robbysgop's ghost oc and I do adore her I just had to make a few quick sketches of her with my very own scrunkblors, I do apologise if anything she's saying is out of character 😭🙏

rave girls 🗣‼️🔥

My most favouritest dead girls for real, they would have been such a cute couple if they didn't hate each other and were also alive.

This scene is from an alive au I've got for my own ocs which is counter-intuitive but that's irrelevant. I love them so much and I can do whatever I want with them

Without the lighting and background so you can see the heart-shaped smoke better

use cobalt for your downloading needs.

I know there's other sites and then the other issue of youtube starting to block people from downloading from forcing people to log in to watch videos, but for what you can, cobalt lets you pick your settings for video, audio, and other stuff.

You can also use this on Twitter, tumblr, tiktok, and other sites too if needed.

Stop exposing yourself to sites with high-risk to download a virus, use cobalt when you can.

I think this is the most adorablest little comic I love it so much it made me chortle

I made a little panel of my own but ibis paint tried to explode when I tried to make a David Tennant sweater so mine isn't as funny 😢

I'd like to think though that the whole time they were watching GO the Captain found himself with a little fancy for Crowley, but was wondering when David Tennant would show up. He'd go 'oh I won't be able to see the appeal I'm sure' while he was on the lookout for a humorous, brunette, Scottish man only for Havers to say "oh no it's that one" and point at the most miserable, most british, demonic redhead
