land of reblogs and dergons

My actual main blog is at tatterdemalionamberite Now featuring: * Dragonblogging for these cuties. * Self-reblogs and posts where I don't want all the notes to show up on my dash. I'm 20901 on FR and 21141 on Aywas, if you want to type me in as referrer when joining one of these sites!

My Other Social Media

I don’t plan on deleting entirely as long as keeping the info blog here remains viable, so you’ll still be able to reach me here for the time being. That said, my time on this site is likely to scale back a lot.

Dreamwidth: Flumph Pillowfort: Flumph Discord: edderkopper#9981

(Please tell me who you are before adding me if it’s not obvious.)

The info blog will eventually have a Wordpress version, but there’s a lot to clean up, rewrite, and re-link before it goes public. I’ll post the new URL when it’s ready.

I also have a Facebook that I mostly only use for specific pagan groups. Feel free to ask for it, though, if that’s the only other site you have outside of Tumblr and you want to keep in touch.

Other Places to Find Me

So in the wake of Tumblr’s latest tom-foolery, I’m gonna post a reminder of where else y’all can find me.  Likely what I will be doing is just going through and backing up then cleaning up this blog, so it hopefully won’t be deleted, and just kinda continuing to use it with less frequency.  But if any of you (all like. 5 of you still following this blog) plan to leave the site or would just like to follow me on other platforms, I have two other places you can find me (I use the same url, glitchingicarus, on both)!  - Instagram! (I use this one slightly more, as it’s easy to post my traditional art directly to it, and I’ll probably start using it more for all purpose art posting as I move forward)

-Twitter!  (I snagged my url on here ages ago, but haven’t really uploaded anything to it.  I’ll likely start cross-posting from insta onto here, just in case anyone prefers that platform) Ok, good luck and see y’all around wherever you may roam!   

[nuclearvampire]

Just a reminder, my blog is marked nsfw, so I’m gonna be going down tomorrow, so you can find me on twitter at Nuclear_Vampire, or on discord in https://discord.gg/cf93n5c

And if you’re looking for homestuck porn, I moderate, curate, and organize this oversized monster.  https://crewbooru.booru.org/index.php  

Good luck, guys!

[nuclearvampire]

I’m working on getting on other platforms, but saving the homestuck porn has had me very distracted.

[xenoqueer]

the first discourse i ever entered into on tumblr was homestuck-related. please. please don't make it the last. it's been 7 years dear god tumblr why why have you done this to me has NOTHING CHANGED

TIME TRAVEL KEEPS HAPPENING!

THE MALE IS BEING VERY RECKLESS WITH HIS LOOPS. WHAT A MESS!

[xenoqueer]

I’m still trying to find a federated platform that I like.

I want both the whole viral microblogging thing (retweets/reblogs), and also allows for tagged organization, which is apparently hard to fucking do or something. So if you know something, feel free to share with me.

Pixelfed is supposed to be launching with a tumblr clone in January, so maybe there?

Anyway, I’ll be keeping my fanlore account up to date for the foreseeable future, so I guess you can always check back there as well.

Your Demons Have Good Advice, Actually - a short comic about moving on after trauma with a fresh new start

Trolls also hang parasitic evergreens from doorways, but people meeting below it are expected to vie for dominance. The first year on the meteor Dave loiters ironically under some and Karkat decks him.

[clonerightsagenda]

Kanaya is a bit concerned about Dave lingering under the Aggreenery and is halfway through explaining the significant differences in their cultures when Karkat shows up and clobbers him.

 Rose, who had already been informed of this tradition, made sure to catch the whole thing on video.

This got a note out of nowhere and hey, it’s the holidays.

obligatory “here’s where i am that isn’t Tumblr” post

services i actually use:

Twitter: @therealdoxian  Discord: doxian#0332* AO3: doxian

*please tell me who you are when you add me if it isn’t obvious from your username/profile, otherwise i’ll probably deny your friend request

services i have accounts at but will basically only open if i know that someone is trying to reach me there:

Pillowfort: devoraks Dreamwidth: doxian Line: PM me for my username Skype: PM me for my username 

i don’t think my Tumblr account will go under, since i haven’t posted nsfw to my main blogs in a long time, and i also don’t use the site much compared to other social media i’m on these days anyway, but, just in case.

Why aren’t we talking about how Nicolas Cage is playing Spider Noir

He’s playing alternate old-timey spiderman with a fedora.

Hey so, why would you make me think about this enough that i was compelled to make a homestuck edit in the year of our Lord 2018?

[tatterdemaliionamberiite]

also... did anyone else notice how that text post about "George Homework Bush" was literally so cursed it immediately prophesied the downfall of this entire website

[expertpedestrian]

We’re two trans women struggling to keep our heads above water. Yet another month has rolled around and we still don’t have the money for rent or survival. The good news is, I should be going back to work in early February; the bad news is, until then we need help to stay in our home and buy food, electricity, and hot water. For the month, to cover everything, we need about £1400.

What Really Happens After the Apocalypse

Right now, the largest and most deadly wildfire in California history is burning. Last year, Hurricane Harvey drowned southeast Texas under punishing, endless rain; a month ago, Hurricane Florence …

The myth that panic, looting, and antisocial behavior increases during the apocalypse (or apocalyptic-like scenarios) is in fact a myth—and has been solidly disproved by multiple scientific studies. The National Earthquake Hazards Reduction Program, a research group within the United States Federal Emergency Management Administration (FEMA), has produced research that shows over and over again that “disaster victims are assisted first by others in the immediate vicinity and surrounding area and only later by official public safety personnel […] The spontaneous provision of assistance is facilitated by the fact that when crises occur, they take place in the context of ongoing community life and daily routines—that is, they affect not isolated individuals but rather people who are embedded in networks of social relationships.” (Facing Hazards and Disasters: Understanding Human Dimensions, National Academy of Sciences, 2006). Humans do not, under the pressure of an emergency, socially collapse. Rather, they seem to display higher levels of social cohesion, despite what media or government agents might expect…or portray on TV. Humans, after the apocalypse, band together in collectives to help one another—and they do this spontaneously. Disaster response workers call it ‘spontaneous prosocial helping behavior’, and it saves lives.

I’ve been sharing this article a lot recently! I think it’s important

[steddiely]

#stop believing capitalism’s myths about human nature#and start remembering that we are the descendants of the first animals to bury their dead with flowers#we are all alive because of kindness. because of cooperation. because of companionship. because of mutual aid.#we did not become the dominant species based on rugged individualism: we survived together. and that’s the only way forward. (via @robotmango)

[elfwreck]

The real reason the right-wingers like to push “individualism” - they’re terrified that, if people start helping each other and status is based on who is the most supportive and useful in their community, they’ll be known as abject failures. They like supporting a system where empathy is considered a disadvantage.

Honestly, the whole Tumblr flagging debacle reminds me of nothing so much as the official White Wolf forums back in the 1990s, whose automatic profanity filters were so overzealous that they ended up censoring terminology from some of their own games.

(For the uninitiated, the starkest example was probably the filter that automatically converted “ass” to “butt”, including when the string A-S-S appeared as part of another word. The trouble is that White Wolf’s most popular game, Vampire: The Masquerade, included in its lore a prominent vampire clan called the Assamites, who stock-in-trade was assassination. Under the forum’s profanity filter, players were reduced to referring to them as the Buttamites, and their missions as – you guessed it – buttbuttinations.)

Good ol' Scunthorpe Problem.

[demonicmadre]

heya my name is ro/roza or rozatli,

youve likely seen ive made donation posts in the past to get help with the mess of medical issues i have going on. i usually give up on them in despair but im gunna try this again and hope for the best.

im a 32 y/o disabled autistic mexican trans girl living in texas struggling to pay a stack of medical bills that just keep pilling up on me with no end to them in sight. theres a plethora of mental and other conditions that im being treated for right now, many of which ive given up on altogether since attempts at diagnosis and treatment have actually even made me worse. i simply cant keep going to pointless expensive drs appointments when i cant even pay off the mountain debt for the ones ive gone to in the past 7 months or so. i dont even have health insurance and i havent had a traditional or even a decent paying job in a grip of years so you can just imagine how hard life’s getting. for example i cant even afford heating in cold or to buy a bed, been without one for a few years now. i been sleeping on a crappy deformed air mattress that runs out of air by every morning so i put a stack of blankets underneath it so i dont have to wake up completely on the floor (i just dont have any other options really) sorry for the long post and the sad things, i just very much need help pls if you can reblog this or donate. even a single dollar goes a long way.

muchas gracias  + much obliged, thank you for your time

I’m now picturing being but a simple heavy weapons fighter enjoying Pennsic and all of a sudden you see Steve Motherfuckin Rogers, armed with nothing but a shield, charging into the melee. 

(In this mental image he is wearing chainmail and his tabard is patterned in red, white, and blue, and his Society Approved wooden shield is painted like his regular shield. Also his symbol is painted on his helmet.)

And you just go “Oh, balls,” right before getting fucking annihilated. 

[arabeka-ffxiv-deactivated202005]

[systlin]

YES EXACTLY CAN YOU IMAGINE

[plotwitch]

ok but imagine someone tweeting “captain america DESTROYED us today, rip my brave brethren” and tony would obviously see that. by the next meeting tony’s involved. within months it’s an avengers and civilians free for all and the best time of anyone’s life.

[systlin]

Oh god, Tony building his own armor and the field marshals having to explain that no, sir, you are not allowed repulsor jets in heavy combat, and what the fuck are those? Are those arms that hold extra swords? No get that shit out of here what the hell. 

Falcon RP’s a dragon. It is the single most glorious battle in Pennsic history. 

[somnastra]

Clint just makes faces at people while they’re getting ready but shows up with legal arrows and fights on the side of the civilians.

[systlin]

You just caused me a full body shudder of horror at the idea of facing Clint Barton as a combat archer in a war thank you. 

[dancing-thru-clouds]

You’d be fine. Your King and generals not so much

[systlin]

Another comment just made me realize that Thor would think Pennsic is the single greatest fucking thing there is mead and warriors and glorious battles and food and MORE MEAD and did I mention GLORIOUS BATTLE

Also, given the SCA people that I know, a rather high percentage of people who, like, actually legitimately worship him. 

Can you imagine being a simple heathen heavy fighter and then WHAT THE FUCK THOR, SON OF ODIN, IS ON YOUR SIDE IN THE WAR?????? THE FUCK THIS IS THE SINGLE GREATEST DAY THAT HAS EVER BEEN. 

thank u @obeechris 

[shrewreadings]

I am imagining the Stark Industries stall. And Tony’s encampment. 

And his internal argument about whether period weapons count against his decision to stop building weapons on a corporate scale, because you KNOW everyone would want Stark forged armor. And weapons. 

ESPECIALLY given the crossover between the SCAfolk & the armed services, who remember fondly the days they had StarkTech, not that stupid Osborn Industries stuff, to say NOTHING of the dark days of the Hammer Tech Era.*

Pepper solves it by creating the corporate sub-group StarkPotts Forges, which does custom armor and weapons, while not-so-coincidentally doing outreach work on the educational side of the SCA, running k-grad school seminars on blacksmithing and design, creating hordes of future metallurgists, historians, artisans, and literal Hordes to make sure that Tony and he rest of the crew get good encampments** for each War. 

Because she’ll put up with a lot, but camping at Moot Point is NOT on.

*seriousky, nothing. There was a meeting of the Joint Chiefs, modification to the USCJ, mandatory unit meetings, a memo, and everything. The Corps of Engineers changed the official designation of the carpentry tool ‘hammer’ to ‘shark-head mallet.’

** encampment set up and pre-war campsite overseen by Bucky & Steve, because a camp set up by them is NOT flooding or blowing over. They’re not having a repeat of the Deluge of DeLuge, France, August, 1944.

[systlin]

I like how we all just Know that they’d lose Tony to the arts and sciences people and find him again three weeks later setting up a fucking God-tier traditional blacksmith shop.

Bruce Banner discovers weaving and is lost to the Fiber Arts people forever. He’s found a week later happily building himself a heddle loom and researching how to raise sheep. 

Thor, who has never been told the Golden Pennsic Rule of “If it glows or is on fire, do not drink it” learns about many new, exciting, and wonderfully potent Midgardian beverages! 

He drinks nine entire camps under the table and in the Viking encampments, he finally finds people who make proper salt pork and onions again! Its been eight hundred years!!!! 

[shrewreadings]

Sacrilege!!!

8 years since he landed in NM, and no one took him to the upper Midwest?!?!  I’d heard stories from my Iowa-born grandma of the feuds over recipes among her gross of cousins (12 siblings her mother had), and so far as I know, there are still factions of the family in Davenport and Grinnell that won’t speak to each other over what is referred to delicately as the Thanksgiving Vidalia Incident…..

[gryphonrhi]

Actually, I can see Bucky, Steve, Clint, Natasha, and Thor being asked to rotate battles so that one or two of them is always with the marshals.  What Bucky and Steve don’t know about dirty fighting, Clint or Natasha can notice, and Thor’s voice can stop any battle for the chirurgeons, no matter *how many* people are on the field. 

Dear gods but Thor is going to be popular though when he whips up a breeze every afternoon!

And I honestly can’t decide if Bruce would take up textile arts or take over a tent kitchen… 

(I wholeheartedly support the head canon for Tony and Pepper and I would pay good money to see a movie of all this just to see Falcon’s RP!)

[elfwreck]

Guys.

Guys.

T’Challa, in traditional Wakandan gear, including vibranium armor. Which the refs try very hard to outlaw (“Vibranium?! $%@(*^$ Hell no!”) but he’s able to provide perfect documentation - his people have been using this stuff for weapons and armor for more than a thousand years; why, this particular chestplate belonged to his great-great-great-great etc grandfather. (“OMG you can’t bring that here! Why isn’t it in a museum?” “It’s armor; it’s meant to be used. I can think of no more fitting purpose. Let it know the glory of battle among friends, without the stink of blood and entrails.”) (Nakia: “Besides, it’s not like anything here is going to damage it.”)

Shuri poring through history books for records of five-hundred-year-old Wakandan tech. Refs trying very hard to say “no magnetic hovercraft no matter how period they are.”

[manyleggedluggage]

@bairnsidhe look! SCA as best Avengers group-therapy ever y/y?

[bairnsidhe]

YAAAASSS  I want All Of This.

[cluegrrl]

IT GOT BETTER!!! (Except honestly guys – M'Baku. Just…Put him center front for the bridge battle, and come at him from both sides, and watch him have the time of his fucking LIFE!)

[spiderine]

Natasha forms a mercenary army of Amazons who fight dual-weapon and specialize in flanking maneuvers. You will never see them coming.

[wittyusernamed]

I’m just imagining M'Baku roaring with laughter as people are just scruffed and tossed off the bridge. Everyone is having a grand old time
