Tal

She/they WATCH ME GO INSANE ABOUT VAMPIRES SMP IN REAL TIME Always distracted by The Good Place, Scott Smajor, WTNV, way too long video essays, Hive Mind, She-Ra and my OCs

[tals-tower]

Blog Intro cuz I lost my old one to the void

I'm Tal, genderfluid but defaults to they/she. my asks are always open but dont ask me for donations (don’t message me asking for money either) I can't do that and i panic spiral. If you message me without clarifying why and I dont know you im going to block.

Do not just message me 'hi' please, at least include why you're messaging the first time (if why you’re messaging is for money don’t message me I don’t have that). Otherwise I will assume you're a bot and block because this is the very first thing on my blog.

I'm fixated on storytelling/mythology at all times send me asks talking about those and I will be so happy

Also if you think I'd like a fandom or something feel free to send an ask reccing it. if it's a book it'll take a while im busy but I promise I'll watch/read it (yknow if you think I'll like it)

Fandoms I'm In Collinlock Continuity Vampires SMP Hazbin Hotel SPOP Life Series Any Janet Edwards Book Batfam Empires SMP 1 & 2 The Owl House Percy Jackson + all related books The Good Place Welcome to Nightvale TMA Basically any MC SMP Scott Smajor has been in (- any only-streamed ones except maybe the Flight :c) Sanders Sides STP TADC SWAFTDE/DAWTDE Clangen comics also

I think that's everything? Feel free to ask for crossovers/fandom fusions. I can do MHA crossovers as well just dont expect me to write it on its own

I talk so much about all of my stuff, check #wip rpg for the wip rpg updates. Check #tal writes or #my writing for ao3 links. I'm Sleepy_And_Confused over there (and also all the time)

Ignore my inconsistent posting schedule none of this is organized or tagged properly, tell me if I say something wrong I'm kinda stupid and say stuff without thinking/just have horrible takes. I use tone tags sometimes if you say something that could be misinterpretted please do as well.

I will forever stand by Grian loving being a watcher... Or at the very least having mixed feelings where some of those feelings are very positive.

That man joined them willingly and had so much fun with it (canon btw), created the life series and has the biggest widest smile while talking about making it and how excited he is for everyone to see what he has planned and now this whole thing with him on Hermitcraft saying "What I've always wanted to do, to watch" as his eyes literally sparkled.

I refuse to believe anything else, whatever weird angst Martyn has hallucinated there is either the most cracky misunderstanding in history or active misdirection by the watchers to fuck with him. Which... could be either really.

[blueishspace]

Well, someone agrees very strongly lmao/pos

[a-sociopath-do-your-research]

Every time I see a "Grian was forced to be a watcher" post I lose a little bit of my sanity

[blueishspace]

Pretty sure Virge would HATE this wording for him, but I love it 😂

[nightcatssketchbook]

Why does it totally sound like Remus and Janus trying to annoy him

[alphacrone]

as a child i assumed that martha’s vineyard was a fancy private vineyard owned by martha stewart and the reason rich people vacationed there was because they were friends with martha

[grithogirl]

do you think when abolish realised he was some sort of half-vampire he was like fuuckkkkk paperwoorrkkkk

[grithogirl]

i looovveee the scale differences of how big oakhurst feels depending on if you're watching a vampire or a human, when watching the vampires everything feels so compact and claustrophobic, taking hardly a minute to get from one end of the map to the other, simply lunging over cliffs and flying over forests, the characters themselves complaining about too little space and wanting to stretch their wings and then you watch a human pov and everything feels so huge, they spend days out in the wilderness at a time because thats simply how long it takes to get from one place to another, the forests thick and each of them getting lost despite being in groups of SIX at times, what is for the vampires a quick detour is a day long trek for the humans and it adds so well to the immersion and worldbuilding, i love it!!

Look at my birthday cake...

[mindsmist]

his collection knows no period accuracy

(i wholeheartedly believe that becuase of the #giveabolishagun movement he now just has a hangar's worth and he's rocking up to the finale handing them out to team Oakhurts)

[stillnotmollified]

some of you weren’t around for the fan fiction dot net purge of 2002 (when they banned explicit content and mass-deleted thousands of fics) and the livejournal purge of 2007 (when they deleted hundreds of blogs, disproportionately targeting queer & kink content) and it shows

this kind of policing is why ao3 was created

remember, kids, the three laws of fandom are:

- don’t like; don’t read

- your kink is not my kink

- ship and let ship

[rembrandtswife]

your kink is not my kink *but your kink is okay* don't forget that part

[prokopetz]

Man, all the other dialogueless-indie-platformer-where-you-walk-from-left-to-right-as-things-get-increasingly-fucked-up protagonists get cool intros. All busting out of glass tubes and falling from the sky into huge piles of corpses and such. I just wandered on screen looking vaguely lost.

[philokaliko]

Artfight attack for @calamityserror!! a little birdy (@redistooviolent) told me that you had more furry vsmp designs to draw :3

[manuciruja]

me: mmm this thing this person said rubs me the wrong way, but they probably didn't mean it like that, I'm just overreacting, there's no need to block them or respond

the beloved mutual: just blocked someone for liking the colour blue ✌️

Crossfangs butler au angsty angst:

What if Abolish took the hit to save his lord? Getting him cursed to sleep instead, or worse...? (Would he moved knowingly or would his body moved on its own?)

What if Scott, similar to his canon character progression, only just started to feel again when he lost the person who made him feel? But with this, set 600 years pre-canon, right as he's being actively overthrown, with everything falling apart around him...yeah.

Imagine if the grief actually gives him a power boost, allowing him to defeat those that were initially going to curse him, those that originally would have won against him. Then what? Now he wouldn't be cursed, he wouldn't be asleep, he wouldn't be dead, he would just be...there. Alone. Lost?

If Abolish was only cursed to sleep, there's the option of Scott taking the role of the one waiting for the other to wake up. Making a role swap-ish version of the au!

There's also the option of Scott still falling asleep, but willingly this time. Like, maybe after the dust has settled, all he's left with are the jumbled up feelings he's barely started to understand and he went- "Nope! Nah, I'm NOT dealing with this." and proceed to avoid, deny, suppress—aka taking a looong nap.

RAHHHH i love this so much!!! adding this one to my personal wips hehehehehe, i imagine scott would have a loottttt of thinking to do, and 600 years worth of time to do it.

Okay, you know what? Given that over the last week I have seen at least one of the common myths of "things you should not do in the heat" come over my dashboard, let us quickly go over this:

If it is hot, you will need to drink more than normally because you are sweating. You can drink too much, though usually your body knows how to regulate it.

Yes, if it is liquid and not alcoholic it counts to your drinking intake. Yes, drinking lemonades, coke and whatever counts. All of it is still mostly water with some sugar and flavors added. It is fine. Be careful about taking in too much caffeine though, as it is a mild diuretic (means it makes you pee more and hence lose more water).

Yes, you also need electrolytes as you sweat them out. But you do not need to drink sports drinks. Eat some yoghurt with fruits, or some watermelon with salt, or maybe cold soup. It will refill your electrolytes.

No, it is not dangerous for you to sleep in front of a ventilator. This is a complete myth that has absolutely no basis in science whatsoever and literally originates with an Urban Legend. Especially with the recent heat wave in Europe for a lot of people the alternative is the possibility of heat stroke. It is fine. Sleep in front of that ventilator. Just make sure you are not getting too cold.

No, using sunscreen does not stop you from taking in Vitamin D, unless you are permanently using super high standard sun screen and are reapplying it every 6 hours as intended. And let's face it: you are not. Your skin gets enough UVB to make Vitamin D, don't worry about it. Skin cancer is worse.

Yes, switching between a very hot outside and a very cold context (be it super high AC or just jumping into cold water) can be a danger for your cardiovascular system, though unless the weather is very hot or the water very cold making the contrast very extreme, it is normally not a danger to people who do not have otherwise issues with their cardiovascular system. Though being a bit careful and allowing yourself to acclimatize is not a bad idea in general.

Yes, you should definitely not leave any living thing in a car while it is hot. Just don't. Cars heat up while standing very quickly and will become a death trap. If you leave an animal or a child alone in the car for even just 5 to 10 minutes, they might die. Don't do that shit.

Yes, you need to be extra careful about your medications. For once, most medications are not meant to be stored at above 25°C (don't ask me what this is in American units). But also a bunch of medications - especially psychoactive medications - will make your body worth at temperature regulation. So be careful.

Yes, you need shadow. Ideally the shadow of trees, because there is indeed a difference between that and the shadow of a building. But any shadow is good, especially during extreme heat.

In the same vein: be also careful about drugs during heat waves - like, the recreational type. Some of them work differently when your body is warmed up like that. Just... ideally read up online on possible side effects that might occur/be worse if taken during the heat.

Generally speaking: stay hydrated. Stay cool. Try to do it as well as you can in your respective situation. Stay safe.
