Why don’t you want your content screencapped and reposted on other sites?
i’m not wholly averse to my stuff ending up on platforms like Pinterest or Reddit (tho I don’t love it) but once tumblr posts have been capped and reposted it seems to be almost inevitable that they will end up on Facebook meme pages.
I use Facebook to keep in contact with persons I would strongly prefer not to know my tumblr and I worry about reposts leading to someone connecting the two accounts. it makes me uncomfortable! please don’t do it.
Can I write a fic based on one of your posts?
Probably! Please send me a message first to discuss it - the answer is basically never no, but some of my textposts are story ideas I intend to expand on further and if it’s one of those we would need to have a conversation about it.
If you do write something based on one of my posts please link back to it in your author’s notes & drop me a line so I can read it.
Please don’t use dialogue directly lifted from one of my posts in a fic without express permission.
Can I translate/podfic/etc. one of your fics?
I’m always fine with this so long as you credit! I would prefer you send me a quick message first to give me a heads up.
Where is the rest of *insert fanfiction snippet here*?
Either on my ao3 (linked above) or it’s still being written. I don’t post my WIPs until they’re done and edited but I get impatient and like to share highlights while I’m writing.
Do you have any fic recs?
I have a tag for them over here, however, feel free to ask for more as I inhale new fics all the time. :3
i haven't watched the amazing digital circus but most of the discourse i see around it seems like it could be countered with 'you are talking about a cartoon rabbit'
i actually learned that the rabbit was transgender, not from tumblr, but by my real life friends coming back from the cinema and announcing that the rabbit came out! i'm very happy for them and support the rabbit
i haven't watched the amazing digital circus but most of the discourse i see around it seems like it could be countered with 'you are talking about a cartoon rabbit'
i don't know what the rabbit did but based on the tone of the posts objecting to the rabbit's behaviour the conclusion I've reached is that the rabbit should have been an even bigger asshole

Here's some of the notes, starting with the things multiple people brought up:
SHRIMP COCKTAIL:
banahbanah: #flashback to that one fic where Peter Parker frets about drinking shrimp cocktail because of the alcohol
generaldeliciousness: adding: what a prawn/shrimp cocktail is
#why is your character turning it down because they're under 21 #do you think prawn cocktail is a cocktail #this lives in my brain rent-free constantly #the rest of the fic was so normal #and good enough that i'll still re-read it #but bro
And then many, MANY, people wondering if this was actually authour mistake, since Peter really would do this!
POMEGRANATES:
zhajhassa: #haha where's that post that was like someone describing someone eating a pomegranate but they ate it like an apple
thornhands: #once someone wrote persephone biting into a whole Pomegranate #had to stop and stare at a wall for a minute

salatrash: I remember something about picking watermelons... OF A FUCKING TREE
baander: #cranberry trees
DOUGH/BATTER:

purekesseltrash: One time, in a fic set specifically in Des Moines, IA, two of the characters casually drove 20 minutes to the ocean. The memory continues to delight me. I want to know where that author thought that Iowa was.
I'm pretty sure my antibiotics gave me oral thrush w the main symptom being that my mouth is really sore. & You might ask, has this deterred me from eating salt and vinegar crisps? No it has nof
Just thought the funniest thing I think they could do with the new Dick and Jason's robin movie is to go back to pre crisis canon bringing back jasons circus origins and having all four parents die in the same acrobatics murder
I also think in this scenario they should combine the Graysons and the Todd's og deaths meaning all four do fall from the trapeze but then for separate reasons killer Croc releases a bunch of Crocodiles into the circus tent and they eat the remains

Imagine being Nyssa and spending a whole season with a woman u have a tremendous crush on who’s made it your whole teams sole objective to get to this oh so mysterious and anticipating place on earth she won’t ever shut up about and then when you finally arrive you look around and see that it’s the concrete slob of Heathrow airport damn I’d leave her ass there too
apparently american writers sometimes do the potato thing w pumpkins in fantasy lit and THAT is very jarring to me as a european bcos pumpkins are uhh not part of the culture here today? let alone historically kghfdkgj
potatoes usurped the noble turnip as a top root vegetable. and when pumpkins arrived what did they do? that's right usurped the noble turnip as the autumn lantern vegetable. it is a conspiracy against the turnip is what it is
