Enabling Gremlin

A trial ground for new muses and a dropping place for headcanons and other stuff.

[sorrowssinger]

So the long awaited pinned post for this blog.

This is the main blog of several side blogs, most of which are rp blogs. This one used to be my primary rp blog but I moved most of my muses to side blogs to keep track of everything better so this is mostly for experimental muses and ocs with personal stuff or general stuff.

I go by Andy and am 21+ if that bothers you then feel free to unfollow or whatever, if you send hate I will delete it because honestly I am not forcing you to interact. If I follow you it is because I like what I see on your blog and if the blog in question is a rp blog then I want to see how our writing clicks together and our muses interact.

A list of my blogs is available upon request because I admit I have way too many and I tend to hyperfocus on one or two fandoms and muses at a time. That said most writing will either go really fast or really slow, there isn't much in between so I apologize in advance for that. Also this is not permission to harass me on my other blogs if you find yourself blocked on this one or one of the others, that has happened before and I will block you if you do so.

I think I am officially Fandom Old. I am so worn out from the arguments on who's the top or the bottom (who cares), what is allowed to be written (anything you want, bejeebus), what is Problematic (I know, just tag it), what other people Should Do (they Should live their lives free of judgment). There isn't a Right Way to do things. Tag your stuff appropriately, don't read stuff you don't want to read, and leave other people (me) alone.

There is nothing quite like the freedom of having gone through all of the Discourse and come out the other side into the promised land of Not Giving A Fuck.

The three keys to the promised land are “Block, Unfollow, and Do Not Engage”

How it feels to have curated your space in fandom

[sorrowssinger]

Someone forgot to mention that fandom old also includes periods of looking at the fandom and deciding that it is not at all worth dealing with and staying away from all fandom spaces.

Every time I get a comment email from ao3 I feel like narcissus going to stare into my silly little pool

Can't believe we're here, but especially important for fandom accounts: DO NOT link your IRL, government ID to your fandom accounts! Not ever. Not for anything.

You will feel tempted by FOMO, you will feel bullied by Discord. You will be peer pressured to the ends of the earth. Do not do it. Do not allow them full access to you, and do not let them normalize this utter horseshit. We deserve anon spaces. We deserve the internet, it's ours.

Discord Launches Teen-by-Default Settings Globally

Discord is announcing enhanced teen safety features rolling out globally that reinforce its long-standing commitment to creating a safer and

Like this shit is TERRIFYING.

Cancel Nitro and tell them this is why. Shit talk these assholes in public. Ridicule them. And do not budge an inch, do not let them have you.

AO3 will be down for about 15 hours starting at 08:00 UTC on January 21 (what time is that for me?) while we make some improvements to searching bookmarks and series, including:

adding the ability to search, filter, and sort bookmarks by word count

making sure bookmark search results are correct when you use tags containing letters and numbers

preventing series blurbs from listing tags that were only used on draft works

preventing series blurbs from listing tags used on restricted works for guests

updating series bookmark search so it only searches the tags on works you can access

Please follow our status page for updates.

this keeps coming up, in all sorts of different discourse, so I finally gave up and made it a meme

[mikkeneko]

discourses that this applies to, an incomplete list:

People Are Reading Media With Problematic Themes, They Should Stop Doing That

This Media Has Special Meaning To X Group Only, Y Group Has No Reason To Engage So Why Do They Anyway

People Are Getting Into Media Specifically To Engage With The Fandom And I Don’t Like That

People Are Shipping Things That Aren’t Supported In The Canon

People Are Reading Media They’re Too Old For

People Are Reading Media They’re Too Young For

People Are Reading Media That Depicts Harm Similar To Harm They’ve Experienced, Why Would They Do That

People Are Reading Media That Isn’t Realistic Or Correct, They Will Get Wrong Ideas

and the answer for all of these is *taps the sign*

[roach-works]

People Are Enjoying Stuff I Dislike

People Are Creating Stuff I Dislike

People Exist That I Dislike

A heads-ups about ads on Tumblr blogs

Hey Tumblr, we’ve got a quick update. 

Soon, ads will start appearing on Tumblr blog sites (think: [yourblog].tumblr.com). Ads help support Tumblr and keep the platform running. We know your Tumblr blogs have been where you showcase your art, host your work, and gather your people. We want to be upfront about what’s changing and how you can manage the experience on your blog.

Here's what you need to know 👇

Who will see ads (and who won’t)

Premium users and blogs with custom domains: If you have a Premium subscription, or you’ve bought a custom domain for your blog, your blog site will stay ad-free for all visitors.

Premium users everywhere: If you have Premium, you won’t see ads on any Tumblr blog site. Even ones that aren’t Premium. You stay in your ad-free bubble, wherever you go.

Everyone else: Visitors may see ads when browsing your blog site.

How to remove ads from your blog site If you’d prefer not to have ads on your blog site, you have two options:

Upgrade to Tumblr Premium (and unlock extra perks like early access to new features, Blaze credits, and higher post limits)

Purchase a custom domain for your blog

With either option, your blog site will stay ad-free for everyone. This change won’t affect how you post, create, or connect, but it’s important you know exactly what’s happening and how to control the experience on your blog site.

💫 -The Tumblr team

[valoisfulcanellideux]

Heads-up, people.

Tumblr is about to start putting ads on your blog, unless you pay for a premium account or add a custom domain.

These ads won't just just be on your dashboard - as they already have been for ages - but on your blog, in between your own posts. As if you're the one promoting those products/services.

Even if you use an ad-blocker or any other means of not seeing ads on Tumblr yourself, anyone visiting your blog who does not use an ad-blocker will see those ads.

@staff, please ensure that these ads are VERY clearly and visibly marked as a Tumblr ad, and not made to look as though they're an ordinary post that we have reblogged in order to promote it because we support it and/or believe in it.

RPC REMINDER that this is not an airport, you do not need to announce your departures.

Don't want to interact with someone anymore? Don't like the direction their blog is going? Feeling a lack of connection? THAT'S FAIR. Unfollow, block if you feel the need, and move along.

You don't need to tell the person "I'm unfollowing and this is why." It's a weird guilt tactic, whether intentionally or unintentionally, to get the person to change.

Don't do that. Stop being weird. Unfollow and move on.
