Red~

Early 20s, tired Pisces

[the-dying-red-rose]

Just because I'm not always clear on what is an imagine ask or what is a drabble ask? Could you please let me know which is which?

Red~ YES! Thank you anon for asking c: do remember we accept both egoXego and egoXreader on this blog! (As well as three person polyshipping!)

Open half of the time, usually longer wait time: Drabbles. Drabbles are like short fics with one or two egos. They are usually a few paragraphs, I try for around 500 word count. (Example: could I have a thing where Dark is playing a board game with his s/o)

Imagine

Open most of the time: imagines are things that tend to only have one or two paragraphs and multiple egos. Usually you have to give a situation for the egos to react to. Four egos is a good number to ask for. They are formatted with Name, gif, and paragraph(s.) (Example: Could you do how the egos react to a Wiccan s/o please? With Phantom, Natemare, Natpai, and Host?)

Open 100% of the time: Hcs

Hcs are short bullet points.

Like how this is formatted.

Specify if sfw or lemon

One, two, or three characters.

The s/o counts as one character if it’s Xreader.

Open rare but you’re free to suggest ideas for: fics. Posted on ao3, 1000 or more words. (Example would be a paragraph describing a idea for a fic-)

Open all of the time: fic titles. You give me a fic title and I give you a paragraph or more on what the fic would be about.

I’m also kinda working for a Redbubble shop! Here’s the link if you’re interested: https://www.redbubble.com/people/DesignsbyYoungs/shop

It takes work to curate your online spaces, but if you don't do it, corporations will do it for you using a couple harmful key principles. 1) Negative emotions hold your attention better than positive emotions. 2) Calm/contented people are less likely to spend money.

[queeranarchism]

Curate your online spaces starter pack:

Blacklist, block and mute at will. You don’t owe anybody anything.

Turn off those notifications.

Decide when you log on. Don’t use social media at breakfast if it will stress you out all day. Don’t use it before you go to bed if it will keep you up. Find a fun ritual to replace it, like a video game or craft thing.

Consider which platform allows you to avoid topics that upset you. For example: tumblr is kinda shit for fan fiction because everything ends up in the same tag. The older forum-style platforms are much better for finding content you enjoy and avoiding content you don’t.

Leave online communities that don’t spark joy. You don’t need to stay in a place where everyone is always fighting. You don’t need to stay in communities where you are afraid to speak your mind or to make mistakes.

Ask yourself: could this ‘debate’ also be a conversation instead? Don’t debate people who seek debate to upset you. Don’t debate people who seek debate to get an audience for bigotry. Don’t debate people who seek debate to win instead of to learn. Don’t debate people who do not acknowledge your humanity.

Repeat to yourself: doomscrolling is not activism. Nothing in the world gets better just because you read, liked and reblogged posts about how terrible things are. 

[Tweet by Kingfisher & Wombat @UrsulaV: “O best beloved, if you are doomscrolling Twitter today, ask yourself if there is anything you can personally do. If there is, do it. If there isn’t, remember that anxiety is not activism. Your misery does not improve the world a single iota.”]

[dduane]

THIS. And a half.

[neomikey]

Oh yeah, ALL of this.

[elektraking]

[popculty]

THIS^^^

And if you do get paid for your ideas/writing during the strike, that is considered scabbing and you will be barred from the WGA for life, as per this email from the Blacklist:

[neil-gaiman]

And, because a lot of people don't understand this bit, this is about you selling your ideas or writing to US-based TV studios or movie studios who are part of the AMPTP. There is no strike against book publishers. Nor audiobooks, graphic novels, or poetry publishing. Or just writing.

Read the above from the WGA.

oh my other big dm tip is just. your campaign isn't about you and your cool plot. it's about your players and how to have fun as a group. if your plot doesn't incorporate your players and give them agency, it isn't an engaging plot.

my big player tip is: your dm is hosting a story for you. be willing to engage in it to the best of your ability.

it goes both ways. a dm should build their story to be told through the players and the players should be enthusiastic about engaging in that story.

i just simply think of a campaign's story can be told by replacing the entire party with different characters then it's probably not a great campaign. like yes modules exist and etc etc. but also modules work best when you CONNECT your character to the module's plot and your dm engages with it.

like. if you could put your character into any other game with no changes to their story or you could replace your entire party in the game your dming with other characters and everything would be the same then. that's not engaging. sorry.

Red~ hey, so I haven’t really posted on tumblr for a while. Life things happened and I sorta changed a bunch! I still enjoy the egos and obey me boys though, but also a couple new things. So I might be around sharing a few things here and there if anyones still around!

Here is a link to the US Restrict Act (commonly known as the TikTok ban) as it is currently written.

Please read the actual bill and share even if you do not live in the United States. The precedents this piece of legislation would set would have far reaching impacts on how the internet is used for everyone in the future.

This is why classes need library instruction

Student: I can’t find any scholarly articles on this subject!

Me: Okay, what’s the subject?

Student: Creating a culture of sharing in west-coast technological companies.

Me: Alright, and what/where have you tried searching?

Student: I searched “creating a culture of sharing in west-coast technological companies” on the library website!

Me:

[okayto]

I’m still mad about this because it happens frequently. Students at all levels of education need library and research instruction–they should get it before graduating high school, they should be getting it in several different classes in college, and there should be something in grad school–seriously, there are people in my master’s program who don’t know anything besides Google.

And don’t say “they should have learned in [previous level of university education].” Do you think every person continues education within a few years of their first degree? THEY DON’T. Even if they did get a then-good introduction to research, you think nothing changed between 2008 and 2018? How about the doctoral student I met today whose last degree–and last experience with academic libraries–was in 1996? How about the guy in my master’s cohort who got his bachelor’s degree in 1987?

Because look. See that very specific topic the student wanted? There may or may not be actual scholarly articles about it. But here are a few things you can do:

First, zoom out. Start broad. Pick a few phrases or keywords, like “tech companies” and “culture.” See what comes up.

Actually, back up. First, does your library’s website search include articles, or do you have to go into a database? My library’s website searches some of our 200+ databases, but not all. And you’ll need to find (in advance search or adjustable limiters that pop up after your initial search) how to limit your search to scholarly and/or peer-reviewed articles.

What other keywords are related or relevant? For the search above, you could use a combination of “silicon valley,” “company/ies” or “organization/s,” “sharing,” “collaborative,” “workplace culture,” “social culture,” “organizational culture,” and those are just the ones I can come up with off the top of my head.

Did you find something that looks promising? Great! What kind of subjects/keywords are attached (usually to the abstract, sometimes in the description section of the online listing)? Those can give you more ideas of what to search. Does it cite any articles? Look at those! Some databases (ilu ProQuest) will also show you a selection of related/similar articles.

If you’re researching a very specific topic, you may not find any/many articles specifically about your subject. You may, for example, have to make do with some articles about west-coast tech companies’ work cultures, and different articles about creating sharing/collaborative environments.

That said, this student did the right thing: they tried what they knew to do, and then reached out for help.

I get goddamn professors pulling this shit, there is not one single level in the academy where research literacy isn’t lacking.
