i’ve been on the hellsite on and off since 2013, and came back around the end of 2024 after about a 5-ish year break because tumblr isn't a social media, it's a habit. we're all on here standing behind a dumpster chain-reblogging posts like they're cigarettes.
this is mostly a disorganized personal blog, and i'm in the process of trying to clean it up and tag stuff properly. while i mostly just reblog posts that catch my eye, my content tends to center around my favorite fandoms/hobbies/etc, which include (but are not limited to)
Baldur's Gate 3
Dragon Age (Mainly Origins + Inquisition + Veilguard)
Persona (Mostly IS/EP + 3 + 5)
Pokemon
Tumblr-flavor shitposting
Art/Art History
Historical Judaica + General Jewish content
while I try to keep this blog lighthearted, i do occasionally reblog posts here that i think are important under the tag #psa, and add any necessary trigger tags. if you want me to tag anything so you can blacklist it, please don't hesitate to DM me about it!
i absolutely blow at tagging stuff properly, but i do have a few tags i use regularly for my own purposes
#wallmeat.txt (personal text posts/photos)
#fave (favorite posts)
#gigafave (all-time favorite posts)
#ref (things i've saved as reference materials, it's mostly drawing tutorials and reaction images)
#unesco world heritage post (classic tumblr posts, i.e. "bitch that's the tubby custard machine", "sauron knows your license plate", the people falling into hell post, etc etc.)
besides this blog, i have a two main sideblogs:
@/perfectlypreservedocs (for posts that remind me of my OCs and artistic + character development references, currently under construction)
i tend to curate my tumblr experience by blocking, mostly to avoid bots and reduce the risk of interacting with unpleasant people. the most common types of people i block are:
antisemites (should be obvious why)
right-wingers/tankies
TERFs, though apparently the hellsite has gotten so bad that I have to add this addendum, and also that weird contingent of people who identify as radfems but claim to be trans-inclusive. in general, if you think radfem ideology is at all "good" in any capacity, I'm blocking you.
spam bots
fandom/shipping puritans
while i don't hardblock anyone who's under 18 (i only softblock anyone under 18 who i see following me to boot them off my follower list), i'd REALLY appreciate it if people under 18 didn't follow me. this blog DOES contain NSFT jokes on occasion, and i'm not great at tagging.
if i reblogged from you and you're under 18, that's because i saw a post of yours i liked in a tag and either forgot to check your bio or you didn't state your age in your bio when i checked. i don't really check the blogs of people I reblog from in tags, sorry! if you want me to delete my reblog, feel free to shoot me an ask and I'll take it down.
