Tales Of Tumblr: Cyber Circus

Oi, love. I’m a 28 year old American nerd. Don’t hate the shitposter— hate the game. || 18+ MDNI ||

If you follow me, I can promise both short shitposts and mini rants. Either way, I’ll make this blog into a fucking masterpiece eventually. I mean it ain’t the 2010s Tumblr that broke the internet and turned Millennials/Gen Z into nihilists but damn it. It’s 2026 so I was like “fuck it”. I’ll make a new blog after years of not being on Tumblr. 

Oh yeah. I used to be all about edgy shit, early internet aesthetics, anime/manga, comics, gaming, Superwholock minus Sherlock (it’s really good though), Harry Potter, Percy Jackson, Pokémon, Lord of the Rings, Star Wars, moodboards, pop punk, metalcore, memes, and much much much more.

I downloaded a random f2p moba on my switch cuz why not

[radwarlock]

AMC’s Pantheon is such an incredible show. Who else agrees?

Also, we need more gifs from the show so help me out 🥲

This show made me think, and feel. I think it broke my heart a few times

[radwarlock]

The sci-fi and fantasy worlds people create are incredible. I’m honestly looking for new ways to experience them. I’m looking for video games (on the Nintendo Switch), and animated series.

Let’s go with recently updated or recently released games, and animated series.

For the games, I’m not making money at the moment but at the very least, I could watch content on the games on YouTube but free or lower priced games would be better.

For the animated shows, I currently use Netflix and Hulu but YouTube animators are soooo good.

As long as these forms of media are fantasy or sci-fi, I could get behind them in this specific context.

Thank you.

Let’s get nerdy and chaotic up in this bitch.

I’ll share some takes. Let me know if you agree or disagree.

Then I’ll hear your takes.

1. We don’t need anymore Batman films. Regardless of Kevin’s untimely death, let’s go back to animation.

2. Star Wars videos games aren’t what they used to be. I mean Zero Company? I miss hacking and slashing with force powers. I miss the deep lore as well that only EU games could provide. I’m not feeling the whole slow paced strategy style. I won’t buy the game.

3. Hermione being retconned as a Black woman was a great decision. Since she’s such a beloved character, if they decide to show the 2020s in the Wizarding World— by seeing Hermione as a POC in the minority (Wizarding community)—maybe people will notice that being racist and dismissive toward the new Snape/his actor, you’re perpetuating cycles of hate that Rowling herself shows by being a TERF.

4. The MCU isn’t worth supporting. I felt like that whole franchise burnt out a long time ago. They used many major characters right off the bat while holding back and not using a more diverse cast of characters. Now they sprinkle in the more interesting characters here and there. It’s exhausting. Also, I feel like Marvel would’ve been better off with more animation as DC did in the 90s/2000s.

5. I’ll always love Pokémon but they keep adding more generations to an already overpopulated world. I mean sure…each region is like a country but we’ve already seen so much. It just feels like we’ve seen it all. Also, the new Pokémon from Sun and Moon to Sword and Shield to Scarlet and Violet just seem awfully uninspired.

This song is a masterpiece. The overall instrumental style lowkey contrasts the lyrics.

[radwarlock]

I always say crying is healthy and then don’t do it myself. That’s called repression and it’s bad.

If you’re in the mood for tugging at your heartstrings, introspection, artistic expression, and niche topics—

Please follow my new blog: @americandegen ^~^

I’m 1000% a mental health advocate so many of my posts will have trigger warnings.

A circle represents the perpetual cycle of humanity. We exist, we fuck up, we learn, we die.

A cycle like a circle doesn’t end. It just loops around and around infinitely.

Anyone one person can draw a circle but breaking the infinite loop of humanity takes everyone.

This is my lesson in humanity and endless struggle to thrive through both metaphors and blunt rhetoric.

I hope to help at least one person by sharing my wisdom. I also hope to reach people through abstract thinking and understanding of metaphors while reflecting on the world.

Follow my main blog: @radwarlock for shitposting and various other things.

[radwarlock]

I’m hoping to curate a variety of different little projects and make them aesthetically pleasing.

[radwarlock]

Thinking about making a better organized blog for more niche content, philosophical/artistic writing, and multimedia aesthetic content.

Would you follow something like that or am I too naive and nostalgic for the old days of tumblr?

Would you follow said blog?

Yeah. I’d probably follow this.

Maybe but only if it fits my vibe.

Not sure.

I feel like the Wizarding World is a bit stale. Warner Bros have the rights to the IP but they aren’t really bringing much to the table at the moment. Sure we had Fantastic Beasts, Hogwarts Legacy, that mobile game, the upcoming Legacy sequel, the Quidditch game, and the HBO series but at the the end of the day, other franchises as well as HP fan fiction have overshadowed anything Potter can do for us. There’s a glass ceiling that can’t be broken.

Most of us are in it for the nostalgia and love of British people— but I feel the magic has super sharp edges and vast limitations. Ancient magic, other wizarding schools, and more magical beasts could be explored more but due to a slow influx of new content and not much more supporting lore from Rowling— the magic we see is highly limited beyond our interpretations through the lens of our childlike wonder. Rowling dug everyone into a hole. Most old fans and potential new fans don’t buy into her hate and won’t even experience the franchise anymore. Because the author is highly controversial and the series isn’t as massive as LOTR, Star Wars, and Game of Thrones— even if they expand on the world, magic, and characters—we won’t see much more exciting lore I believe.

I’m personally not amazed by all the spells as I used to be. I printed out all the spells online as a kid and used twigs and then later a Universal Studios Elder Wand replica to pretend I was a wizard like I would pretend to be a Jedi/Sith with toy lightsabers. The fandom and imagination isn’t dead but the limitations of the TERF’s Wizarding world isn’t getting a satisfying overhaul anytime soon.

I’ve been a Potterhead since I was very little but don’t support Rowling’s insane transphobia so don’t come at me.

Also, these are just my options. If you want me to dive into a specific point instead of painting broad brushstrokes, let me know.

If you want my opinions on the misses of the travesty that was the Fantastic Beasts movies— lmk.

[radwarlock]

Despite having a somewhat chill vibe, with some fronting— there’s some darkness. Under all the pain and sadness lies loneliness and depression. Under that lies hope and love.

Anyone relate?

If you struggle with mental health challenges or just need someone—please talk to the ones you trust/love, or call your mental health/unalive support hotlines.

There’s always hope despite your fears. It’s never too late.

Fuck the trends…jk— do what you will if you’re being as authentic as you can. Fashion and aesthetics are all about being true to you. Self expression and art can be a mirror to your soul. I take what I want from multiple subcultures and run with it. At the core, I use the most true parts of my self such as nerdiness, angst, nostalgia, and creativity to hopefully represent myself.

[radwarlock]

Love this song. It combines elements of pop, trap, emo rap, post-hardcore, and metalcore. Say what you want about the “pop-punk/emo revival” but some of those artists have mad skills. This album though brings nothing,nowhere’s amazing collab track record to its full potential.

Makes me feel like an emo kid again when I listen to the past decade of modern “emo” music. I mean we have actual legends and so many rising stars that capture the feeling we all had back in middle and high school. Don’t miss out on any of it. Scream and cry your fucking heart out.

[radwarlock]

I stg socializing seems so hard but I can do it. Social anxiety and all my insecurities aside, there are so many missed opportunities where I could’ve chatted with strangers.

[radwarlock]

Me as a kid: I want to rant, make skits, vlog, game more, yap about nerdy things

Everyone these days: Yeah, so I have a great time on Twitch, a movie deal, a fashion brand, and like 20 podcasts.

TW: NSFW terms

I’m such a bad flirt but now imma be like “Oi, love. You have a pretty girl dick.”

Jk— could be considered too crass for most conversations. Btw, “girl dick” or “girl cock” is slang so don’t come at me. I wouldn’t use it without expressed permission as I know dysphoria comes in different forms.

I’d say something like “Your eyes are too stunning. I’m blinded by their magnificence, love.”

Too try hard?

I like to say that I have a spark of a hopeless yet hopeful romantic inside of me after years of having a cold, dead heart.
