I use Shinigami Eyes on desktop & block everyone marked red. If I accidentally reblog from someone who is marked red, it means I was on mobile instead of desktop, and I trust my mutuals not to reblog from transphobes or transmisogynists. Please let me know so I can block OP & delete my reblog. I do not even want links to the blogs of people who are marked red to be on my blog, not even to dunk on them.

General stuff:
"Personal" blog. Most of what I share is probably comic books & politics. I'm just some guy that posts. I'm probably sleeping.
My current interests that I'll post about a fair bit are Moon Knight, Diamondback (Rachel Leighton), the Howling Commandos, Fantastic Four, Radiant Black, and Coheed and Cambria/The Amory Wars. But I'm also a big fan of Zatanna, Vigilante (1983), X-Force, Daredevil, Elektra, Bullseye, Nightwing/Teen Titans, Massive-Verse, and Hellblazer comics.
I'm the World's #1 Stained Glass Scarlet/Scarlet Fasinera fan; please show me your images & artworks of her. I would like to see them so much.
Non-comic interests include (but are not limited to) Disco Elysium, Kingdom Hearts, Pandora Hearts/Vanitas no Carte, Revolutionary Girl Utena, 07th Expansion, Shuuen no Shiori, House of Leaves, Muppets, Naruto, Bloodborne, Guilty Gear, Fallen London, and Futurama, among other things.
My primary special interest is arachnology, especially spiders. I'm always open to talking about them & educating people so that they might lessen their arachnophobia. I tag posts as "arachnids" for a general tag, and I also tag individual arachnids such as "spiders" or "scorpions" or "solifugae" etc.
I would probably say another BIG interest is Cold War era history, especially Communist history, and both Communist propaganda & red scare propaganda. Red scare propaganda is prevalent in comic books, and as both a comic book reader & an ML, I have a lot of comic mutuals & communist mutuals, with some decent overlap. So this subject WILL come up frequently on this blog.

I have notoriously bad memory, that is far worse than even the average person with poor memory. It isn't personal. Please try not to take it personally. I unfortunately can't do much about it, but I try. I take a lot of notes to refer back to, to try to remember things that most people wouldnât need to take notes about. If I need to be reminded of something try your best to be patient with me about it, but I DO understand in the heat of the moment people are not the best at controlling their reactions to things so I wonât hold it against you if it pertains to something serious.
All posts are OK to reblog by default. If I don't want something reblogged then I'll just disable reblogs. You do not need to ask.

I don't know what the MCU is. Don't talk to me about it. I've never seen a film & do not want to. I know comically little info about it. Don't confuse my comic-blogging with anything MCU-related at all. (MCU!Moon Knight & MCU!Scarlet Witch fans shouldn't interact with me bc I'm not nice about them.)
I have every MCU-related tag/keyword I can possibly think of blacklisted/muted & I'll block you if you frequently post about it in main comic/character/series tags without tagging it as either #mcu or #marvel cinematic universe. It's already invasive enough to my spaces & nigh inescapable, but I'm stubborn & I've already gone this long without learning about it; I'm determined to keep it that way.
***
I have an untagged queue that posts throughout the day, and my queue is usually full. I might not be online even if you see me "posting."
***
Don't ask me personal questions. I'll obviously just delete them, and I'll block if I'm especially uncomfortable for some reason. If I wanted you to know something personal, then I would tell you.
***
I use a lot of emoji tags. If you have to ask what one means, I probably have no interest in telling you.

Repository of commonly used tags is on this post, in the tags below. The Palestine flag emoji tag (đľđ¸ - linked via tags below) is used to curate info, news, art, history, support, campaigns, etc. related to Palestine, please look in it if you have the time. Please don't forget about Palestine & don't forget about Gaza.

Iâm AI-neutral, bordering on tentatively positive depending on the circumstances. The keyboard emoji (â¨ď¸ - linked via tags below) contains posts related to my opinions & thoughts relevant to the subject of AI, as well as the occasional AI-generated art that made me feel something. If you are anti-AI, please look through it! You might come away understanding my position better. I personally donât mind if you donât like AI, but I DO mind if you are reactionary about it. A lot of posts in that tag cover the reactionary ways that people talk about AI & treat people who use it, as well as correcting some of the misinformation that gets spread about it, so that you can hopefully adjust your behaviors and feel more comfortable about it. You do not have to change your mind about not liking it, but I would appreciate if you would be conscious of reactionary behavior, ableist behavior, and the spread of misinformation.
it's a bit rich to chastize anyone else for brainwashing when you come from the land of Pledge of Allegiance, national flags everywhere, and national anthem before domestic sports games
we taught a lib that data centres are essential infrastructure which they have relied on for 3 decades now and that opposition to data centres won't stop all imperial infrastructure being colonial, and the lib shot themselves
not to imply that protesting data centre construction is bad, do that for sure, we just also need to understand that if the protest succeeds then the data and infrastructure companies are just going to move on to the next most vulnerable population until they can find one without the capacity to protest, and this will continue for as long as global imperialism survives
so what all of this proves is that the mere act of reporting is not allowed if you're transfem, on top of how already restrictive it is in every way except for the ways anyone else can use it to kill your blog you just cant send reports without getting killed for it, this month has been awful for it regardless like ive witnessed so many terminations this month alone like is this what pride month on the supposed queerest place on the internet looks like?
hey rememsber when i appealed the explicit flag on a post and they terminated my account for explicit content before accepting my appeal so i appealed the termination because wtf right and they responded by denying the appeal, lying about why i was terminated, terminating my already terminated account a second time to change the termination reason (to one i can't appeal!), then upgrading the termination from an account deactivation to a postmortem full account nuke?
remember when the exact same thing happened to the next account save for the fact that i didn't even have any posts that were flagged explicit when they terminated me for explicit content?
Remember when the entire internet believed that it was entirely the fault of Anish Kapoor that consumers weren't able to purchase an airplane paint that required proper ventilation and a paint booth to use, entirely on the word of a pigment manufacturer who then used the video to advertise his pigments?
There's a lot of noise about this MOU but the big takeaway is that Iran took a theoretical deterrent and turned it into a real bargaining instrument. We will know the terms soon enough but even if this MOU collapsed tomorrow, this war has left the world with a new reality. If we want global energy stability we need to cooperate with Iran.
idk who needs to hear this but if you have been putting something off bc it doesn't need to be done until the end of the month. we are almost done with the teens we are approaching the big numbers (the twenties). that date shall dawn upon you swiftly and without mercy before you know it. psa for everyone except me i got plany off time
functionally suicidal character saying âI would die for youâ to their significant other and its like. I get the sentiment, honey, but if a hot dog vendor told me heâd sell hot dogs for me, I wouldnât feel very moved now would I
