I've had a "which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened twice" moment regarding my hair recently and want Tumbler's opinion on the matter

When is it appropriate/accurate to call the curly hair of a white or white-passing person a jewfro?

only if their curl pattern is tight enough

only if their hair is dark enough

only if they wear their curls in an afro-like style

some combination of the above

any white person's curly hair can be called a jewfro

only Jewish people's curly hair can be called a jewfro

no white person's curly hair can be a jewfro/the term jewfro should not be used

Remaining time: 6 days 19 hours

It has come to my attention that I left out a possible option

have you ever even heard this term before

yes, I have heard this term before

what are you FUCKING talking about

#like. I'm not Jewish but I've been mistaken for Jewish more than once because of my hair #and on more than one occasion ppl have kept referring to my hair as Jewish curls/a jewfro even knowing I'm not Jewish #is this just a normal turn of phrase I'm not aware of or something?#or should I add two more tallies to my ''idea experiences antisemitism'' count. bc it would not be the first time :/#idea original post #idea speaks #poll #curly hair #idk what to tag this as

in fact, now i'm curious enough after all these asks that i'm gonna make a tagbait post: transformers fandom, please tell me what you think the rarest rarepair that you earnestly ship is. i'm talking 'this has no fanart no matter how deep into twitter and pixiv you dive' stuff. the ones you made up at 3am when you couldn't sleep and now they are real To You.

#I was going through my own blorbo tag and last time I said I didn't have any *super* obscure ships bc I'm just kinda down for whatever #WELL AHAHA THAT HAS CHANGED.#tfa!Blurr x Rosanna is now one of my special favorite pairings I rotate in my brain <3 #I have an AU and one arc of it is Rosanna-centric bc the idea of a con sleeper agent in autobot society has me by the throat #this is post blurrcube btw :D except he did not get fixed by Sari and had to be found and put back together the hard way #he's been honorably (but forcibly) discharged from the elite guard bc of lingering damage #and they tried to reassign his mentee Wheelie while he was presumed MIA/KIA but Wheelie panicked and ran away!#his body doesn't work his career is over autobot command has abandoned him and his beloved mentee is missing :D #before being assigned to the earth crew he was investigating a potential spy in the entertainment guild. he knew Rosanna personally.#they weren't close friends per se but they were friendly. she was not a suspect.#now she's the subject of a planet wide manhunt for being the Con spy.#blurr is no longer a part of the elite guard. he has no jurisdiction to pursue this. but he has nothing left to lose and rage in his spark #rosanna meanwhile is terrified bc she learned that she'd been hacked/reprogrammed without her knowledge and used to hurt people :D #blurr catches up and is way stronger than her in a straight fight. she has to convince him to let her go with her words alone.#they're both at rock bottom and kissing will absolutely not make the situation any better but I think they should try it anyways #blorbo tag #tf blurr #tf Rosanna #shipping #reblob #blurrsanna #they r so chewy to me #the pairing (at least rn) isn't even canon to the AU but idc the concept tickles my brain #the half of a tf fan continuity that exists in my brain

whump-in-the-closet

whumpee characterizations ? and what it takes to break them

thief whumpee: silver-tongued/ can't keep still/ uses humor as a coping mechanism-> gagged/ stress positions/ a casual whumper whose indifference immobilizes whumpee

royal whumpee: stoic/ proud/ seeks revenge after their imprisonment-> forced to kneel/ public humiliation, dragged around like a trophy, collared, branded etc/ enough scars to look like a constellation on their skin

healer whumpee: kind/ keeps up an image for the sake of others/ skilled in their trade-> pushed to the edge/ others have to take care of them/ hands or fingers so badly damaged they'll never be able to help anyone else again

innocent whumpee: naive/ trusting/ hopeful-> "no one is coming for you"/ left to die/ a whumper who twists whumpee's anger against their friends

bitter whumpee: apathetic/ shrugs off what they've been through/ exhausted-> "I'm fine." followed by collapsing/ vivid flashbacks where they wake up screaming/ refuses to fall asleep after their ordeal

leader whumpee: independent to the point of isolation/ tries to protect everyone/ mentally well-adjusted (mostly)-> set up to fail/ forced to hurt their teammates/ they come back changed, and everyone avoids them

villain whumpee: defiant/ insults whumper every chance they get/ so many failed escape attempts-> non-con drugging, left a shadow of their past selves/ conditioned to obey/ kneeling next to whumper at a press conferences

#Jazz Mirage Ratchet Bluestreak Prowl Optimus and Starscream in that order #Bumblebee would also make a decent swap for Bluestreak in that list depending on one's characterization of choice #whump #blorbo tag #reblob

I want to add something to the beta discussion because it’s rarely mentioned, and can be a little bit tricky, but if you are a person who is up to do beta work then you can reach out to writers too!

My most loyal beta (honestly, where would I be without you?) gushed over my fic in the comments for a few chapters and then ended with something along the lines of “I can tell that English isn’t your first language, do you want me to help with SPAG?” which then turned into characterisation beta as well, and contingency beta, and brainstorming buddy, and a 10+ friendship.

I know it can be sensitive going into the comment section and go “hey, it looks like you could use a beta reader!” and I wouldn’t recommend doing it as first interaction, but “I love your story, do you want to talk about your fic with me?” could be the start of something great if you're up for it.

I rarely use beta readers (I'm too impatient lol) but I have connected with one this way too! They confessed later that their primary motivation was to be able to read my chapters earlier (this was in like 2015 or so when there was a bit of a delay in emails about chapter updates). I didn't care, though! We had a lot of fun, and I love brainstorming with another person about characters and plotlines.

#primary motive to read chapters earlier is SO BASED #my beloved mutual (hi mutual :D) has this one fic I'm beta-reading and I'm OBSESSED with the Jazz characterization in it #he is so blorbo shaped and I'm putting him in my mouth #beta reading is so fun I want to do it more #getting an advance on chapters is a great bonus #reblob #fic talk #tag chatter
