[theybibsxi]

Hello! ¡Hola! こんにちは！

Welcome to my new blog! Are you completely new here? Happy to have more people on board! Are you coming from my old blog? Welcome back!

Just a couple ground rules before we start.

This blog is a safe space for everyone, which means keeping it PG-13! It also means that you should not act in any way hurtful to others. If I catch you being a bitch on my posts, you're getting blocked.

Reblog, don't repost! My posts are welcome on voiceovers as long as my handle is not censored, but my works of art and writing are not to be reposted here, there, or anywhere, nor do I consent to my works being used to train generative AI.

I may be an adult, but I am still a YOUNG adult. Fresh out of the oven! Please keep this in mind if you interact with me.

Have fun!

Interactions

Yes, I am an adult. However, boundaries are still a thing, and probably more than ever now that I've aged! Here's my rules for interacting with this blog, and what they mean:

If you are in the green, you may fully interact with this blog! Follow me, like & reblog & comment on posts, ask questions, and DM me 'till your heart's content!

If you are on thin ice, YOU MAY follow me and interact with my posts, but YOU MAY NOT message me directly or ask questions in my ask box unless it is to discuss commissions or is an emergency. Emergencies include a risk to my blog's existence, someone reposting my work, or me breaking my own rules (please do tell me if I do so!). I can't stop anons, but please be honest with yourself and don't be nasty.

Anyone in the do not interact section may not interact whatsoever. Activity seen on my end will result in an immediate block.

Interact:

Anyone aged 17-24

Thin Ice:

Anyone aged 25+

Anyone aged 13-16

Blogs with 18+ content

Do Not Interact:

Anyone under 13 (get off of tumblr!).

Ped0philes, Z00philes, Queerph0bes, Rac!sts, Naz!s, and TERFS.

Anti-endos.

Radqueers.

Commissions

I take crochet commissions from time to time! More information is on my Ko-Fi.

Special Interests and Hyperfixations

I have three special interests: music theory, space, and Pokémon! I also typically hyperfixate on things for an indeterminate amount of time. My hyperfixations will usually be some sort of cartoon, and it may or may not be directed towards young kids. That said:

Current Hyperfixation: Cookie Run: Kingdom!

My OCs

I have two main OCs! Happy to share them if prompted, and please ask me any and all questions about both of them, I'd love to rant! Also, please tag me if you post art or fanfiction or any other form of media including them. I share the same name (Theybibsxi) on [tumblr], Scratch, SoundCloud, YouTube, and Bluesky.

Anonymous Asks

Anon asks are open, but there are are RULES! Please follow them to make sure they stay open for a long time!

If I get anon hate or an anon talks N$FW to me, anon asks will close for a week. Each time after doubles the previous penalty, and one week of no anon hate (while anon is on) takes a day off the next penalty.

So essentially, the first penalty comes around, wears off, and there's two weeks before the next hate/N$FW message comes in. The time where anon asks are off is then 12 days, because 7*2-2=12. The minimum penalty time is 7 days, so you can never go below that.

If people start exploiting this, the penalty will begin to triple and it will take two weeks to take off a day, and the next time I see exploitation it goes to quadrupling and three weeks to take off a day, and so on and so forth.

I am NOT going to tell you when anon asks are turned on and off. You'll have to see for yourself.

That should be it! Thanks for stopping by and feel free to say hi!

A feww questions .?

@theybibsxi-new

Due to being on thin ice in your new account's range, I'm assuming that goes with discord as well. (?)

So if I'm to ask how you are would that be okay or not allowed? And if not directly, do I make a post to ask how you are and tag you in it.? Usually I message you but on thin ice you say not to go in the ask box or dm so I'm just asking.

Are you okay with me still tagging you in stuff? I don't think you said anything about being tagged unless I missed it.?

Anddd is there anything else you'd like to point out or want me to knoww.? Just checking.

[theybibsxi]

Very fair question!

Yes, you do fall under the category of thin ice. This means you are restricted from directly and privately messaging me or sending asks.

The following goes to all followers also under thin ice: You may tag me as long as it is to grab my attention towards a serious matter. Treat tags like an ask or DM. I unfortunately don't want to make exceptions for people I knew previously.

Thank you for bringing this nuance to my attention.

The mods are asleep, post Tumblr x Twitter art

[writing-is-a-martial-art]

Okay okay but this is fascinating because it's such a visceral example of how mythology works.

Most characters in mythologies are personifications of concepts, or embody some natural phenomenon - like the story of Hades and Persephone is there to explain why the seasons change, Persephone being spring, Demeter - summer, and the absence of them both resulting in death (Hade's domain) and winter, and so we can't have Persephone stay in underworld all year round or have Demeter steal her back to earth permanently, otherwise they myth would lose its core function.

Interpreting the myth without the lense of the natural phenomena that it explains would make it lose an integral part of itself, and therefore make the plot and characters seem strange or unnatural. Why does Demeter hate Hades so much, seeing how so many mothers are okay with Zeus doing atrocious things to their offspring just because he's Zeus? Does Persephone actually want to stay or not? What's with the bizarre arrangement?

Most modern interpretations strip myths of their natural contexts, making them character-driven instead of phenomena-driven, which just makes them land differently - they can still be fine stories, just not myths, not is the traditional sense.

And now we get to this beauty. This is absolutely a myth, the most classical kind. The relationship between characters, who are personifications of objects, phenomena or concepts (in this case, online platforms) used as an intuitively understood metaphor for an event (the demise of Twitter and the Tumblr userbase being unwilling to accept Twitter's userbase).

It's a story that can work as a so-called "explanation myths". We have seasons because Persephone spends half a yesterday underworld and half a year with her mother. We don't like Twitter because the Twitter God and Tumblr God broke up. Ladies and gents and other assorted respectables, we here are witnessing the creation of a perfect modern myth.

Okay but which of them took the shoelaces in the divorce?

[writing-is-a-martial-art]

I thought about it way more than a non-feverish me would, and I've come to the conclusion:

The modern myth that is The Divorce of Tumblr and Twitter carries the themes of regression, corruption and downfall. Some of Twitter userbase used to be part of Tumblr userbase, but they left and changed (corruption). Now that Twitter is becoming uninhabitable (downfall), people are trying to return to Tumblr (regression, possible downfall of Tumblr), and to keep them off Tumblr is returning to its old cringe self (regression).

So, if we are to follow the themes, the logical conclusion would be to send the shoelaces back to the president.

This is the fastest I've ever written I think

There once lived a young man, handsome as daylight, bright and strong. He was known as Twitter, beloved by the people, a favorite of the gods. His chosen companion, Tumblr, was not dear to the people or the gods. He, a traveling storyteller, preferred solitude. His tales were strange and often unpleasant to the ears, but enchanting in their vulgarity. 

One day, Tumblr's patron goddess, Yahoo, enraged by his vulgar words, put a curse on him. He was not to utter vulgarities, speak of the pleasures of the flesh. His stories of lycanthrope companions were lost to the sands of time, and with them, his last listeners turned away from him. 

Twitter watched others laugh at his beloved, turn him away from their doors, and a dark thought settled over him. He was perfect in every way, his only fault was the affiliation with the cursed taleweaver. And so, little by little, they drifted apart. 

In his travels, Tumblr stumbled into the temple of Apollo, who bestowed upon him the gift of prophecy. He made acquaintance with the trifecta of wise temple maidens who induced visions through hallucinogenic incense. His stories changed, still bizarre and often vulgar, but at times full of wonder and truth. 

At that time, Twitter enjoyed all the luxuries of the mortal world. He was the companion of kings, wealthy merchants, legendary heroes, wise philosophers. 

One day, a man richer than rich, richer than the God of wealth, went to the senate of directors and asked to buy the most precious thing in the entire polis. 

The senate thought long and hard, and said: "do you wish for our finest singer, the most sweet-voiced of the land, Spotifia? I am afraid I cannot part with her. "

"No, " said the rich man, his voice cold and harsh, "I said I have come to buy your most precious thing."

"Have you come for our gambler, the chosen of the god of luck, MAXimil? They earn us more riches than you can offer. I shall not part with them. "

"No," the rich man repeated, "I have come to buy your most precious thing. I have come for Twitter."

The senators laughed, then, for they knew this must be a joke. Twitter was too beloved by the gods to be owned as a servant. But the rich man did not smile. He offered money, then more and more still. As the goddess of hubris clouded his mind, he offered more money than he could afford to spend, more than the senate could afford to refuse, for it was enough gold to form armies five times the size of their polis. 

And so Twitter, the proud Twitter, the untouchable Twitter who laughed at kings and scholars alike, became a servant. 

As he was put onto a gilded ship to be sailed off to the rich man's land, he prayed to the gods that granted him beauty and strength and a sharp tongue, but none answered. His cruelty and vanity made them turn away, and he was too full of his power to notice. 

Finally, the young man remembered one more name. He called for Tumblr, his forgotten companion. 

First time he called, the birds took off and flew in all directions. Second time he called, the animals fled in fear. Gathering all the strength he had, he called a third time.

His call shook the earth and the skies, and in an instant, Apollo's taleweaver stood on the shore. 

Twitter cried in relief. "My love!" he called, "save me! Save me, and I shall be yours for the eternity to come. I shall bask you in glory and riches. I shall make the people love you."

Tumblr looked at the rich old man, at the gilded ship, gilded chains, at the other slaves that were meant to please the rich man during his trip, dressed in the finest clothes fit for kings and immortals. 

"You'll like your new life, dear. " said Tumblr. "You are idle: he shan't make you do much. You are prideful: he shall treat you like a god. You are vain, and so you might fear you might be forgotten, one servant among many. Fear not," he smiled. "I shall sing a song of us."

I AM SORRY I DIDNT KNOW WHAT BEAST I WOULD CREATE WITH THE DIVORCE THING OH MY GOSH

[bugtoast]

Okay but adding onto this because I think its interesting: myths like these tend to also come with morals or lessons to take away. (The story of Icarus for example, or the story of Oedipus)

I think there's multiple morals that one can take from what Writing-is-a-martial-art made! so, here's a list of some of the morals someone could take away from this:

Love (or trust) is earned, not given

This one because, when Twitter was on the boat, calling out for Tumblr, he was so used to love being given to him on a silver tray that he even expected it from the person he wronged (debatably) most of all.

The rich and beautiful are no better than the poor and destitute

Speaks for itself, really. Twitter believed he was superior to Tumblr because of his beauty and his connections with the rich and famous, but, when Tumblr could've saved Twitter, Twitter's riches meant nothing. Tumblr, for the most part, was happier without such things. What Tumblr did subsequently proved was that Twitter was not a god, not a blessing, but just a man.

Being yourself will attract people who like you

On the other side of the coin, you could take something away from Tumblr's side of the story. Yes, they were cursed and ridiculed, but that did not stop them from continuing to be themself. they continued to sing their songs, to tell their stories, to speak of earthly pleasures and feelings despite their situation. Unlike their past-lover, they were poor and hated, but that didn't matter to them. It wouldn't matter to Tumblr if they were living in the depths of Hades, or on mount Olympus, because they were happy. This, in turn, lead them to the temple of Apollo, where they befriended the trifecta of temple maidens. The point is, is that Apollo and the maidens didn't like Tumblr for their riches-- they had none. they liked tumblr for who they were, for their passion and creativity.

you can probably tell that the last one probably has the most evidence for it.

anyways i'm now gonna go think up some more stories about social media platforms because this is fun

(like?? what if steam had a story? what if there was a story based off of all those tumblr scams? the possibilities are endless!)

A proper introduction to my OC: Meet Bibs!

Time to actually introduce my BATDR (and by extension BATIM) OC!

Please feel free to ask any questions about them- I will gladly talk about them for hours! Description under the cut!

Bibs is eternally soul-bound to Bendy and the two of them became very close friends. Bendy assists them in lots of ways, stretching and shaping the ink he’s made of into different forms- usually the avian-style wings pictured here. Oh- Bibs also has AuDHD!

In this AU, the studio is sort of like a hub that connects universes, and only shows itself to a select few beings. Other universes are accessed by carving runes and using them in pentagrams, but Bibs can’t go back to their homeworld or the timeline will reset and they will once more be 14 years old. This happened once after their original encounter, but they eventually found the studio again and reunited with Bendy- and reverting back to their soul-bound self.

Eventually the two settled in another world, one safe from the perils of the studio, and Bibs took on an alchemy job, and they also work with their full-human counterpart (Let’s call xem TJ) in a parallel universe to get real photos of others’ OCs.

Unfortunately, Wilson (who is their main enemy and wants nothing more than to trap the multiverse in his own time loop and needs something that Bibs has) (And also wants to trap them in their time loop until they go crazy) has seeded a small amount of himself in them, allowing him to possess them, becoming a narcissist towards their friends and found family and sometimes even destroying their hard work, then blaming it on them. This has caused Bibs’ mental health to decline sharply, and they’ve considered just resetting the timeline and leaving the studio forever. Bendy, who is obviously with them 24/7, has constantly tried to help them, but with two people saying different things, it gets hard.

Bibs has talked with TJ about therapy, but it's really difficult since Bendy would basically have to disguise himself as a jacket. But the problem is Bendy starts to physically melt when hard topics are brought up, ruining the camouflage. For now, they’re looking at some form of Telemedicine for therapy, but finding the right therapist is also hard.

Trauma aside, Bibs is an incredibly empathetic person and wants to help all beings accept differences, considering their situation. They’ve explored lots of universes connected to parts of their childhood, and hope to find light even in the darkest moments.

One little change in the Japanese dub compared to the English version is right after Kamek tells the prisoners that they're going to be sacrificed...

Luigi doesn't say "Mario." He says "Kowai yo, Niisan" which I believe translates to "I'm scared, Big Brother."

Which means he speaks out loud as if he's talking to his brother as a method of calming himself down.

I am very normal about this.

[jelly-fish-wishes-deactivated20]

Ayo????

This changes everything!

[theybibsxi-archived]

Gonna add my own things here since I'm a student who takes Japanese in school

"怖いよ" (kowaiyo) Definitely means "I am scared" but I will note that it's very casual. The entire sentence is kinda casual actually, "兄さん" (niisan) being just a tidbit more casual than "お兄さん" (oniisan), which is the polite form. If they had used the latter, It would likely translate better to what @pianokantzart said, being "I'm scared, big brother." But because they drop some of that politeness (Japanese is VERY nitpicky with how honorifics are used), it translates better to "I'm scared, bro."

Think about that for a moment. They did that for a reason. Mario and Luigi aren't just brothers. They're bros.

Luigi is calling out not just to his brother but also his bro. The person who has stuck by him their entire lives. And now they're separated. All he wants is to be back with not just his brother but his best friend.

Sorry, got a little carried away there 😅

[theybibsxi-archived]

This is me being nitpicky, but I'm sorta wrong. The "o" has nothing to do with it. Adding "o" in front of "niisan" makes it "your older brother" and does not make it more polite. "niisan" is grammatically correct.

But they're still saying "bro" and not "brother"! My point still stands!

The Final Stitch

There's nothing more satisfying when it comes to knitting.

You might have only just made a little project. It only takes an evening. Or you made a slightly bigger one that took a couple days to finish. You might have made a massive one, and it took you a couple weeks or even months. But any project always has the satisfying last stitch.

You've been knitting, knitting, knitting and then suddenly it feels different. You can finally rest your fingers for a little bit- before slowly binding off, slowly letting the piece off the needles. Then you can start the next step- be it another piece for the same project, or fringing on a scarf, or starting the embroidery, or stuffing it and stitching it closed. It always feels strange to stop knitting after a long time. To let your tired fingers rest.

Maybe you lost motivation at some point. The project was left to sit on a desk, in a drawer, whatever. Maybe a friend motivated you to finish it. And so, after months of it left in the same place, you pick it up again, and you feel the strength you need to complete it, no matter how big.

This project is dedicated to a good friend of mine, who pushed me to finish it. He gave me the motivation I needed to finish those 8960 individual stitches and make something beautiful. He showed me that no matter how big an obstacle is or how intimidating something may seem, you can push through.

To all my mutuals over on my other blog, take this as a reminder that life is worth it. I left this rotting for months- A year and a half, now that I think about it.

But I did it, in the end.

You don't have to do it all now.

You can take it slow and steady.

You can stop doing one thing if you need or want to focus on another.

But never truly give up.

Pick up the needles again, and knit.

A message from Bibs and the newest member of the stuffed animal family, Persistence the cat.

[theybibsxi-archived]

Here’s a little thing I learned today!

Life hack if you’re hyperactive and need to focus on a lecture or video or even a cartoon: Find something to do with your hands.

I wanted to pick up a big knitting project so I started working on that but got bored. And it was hard to watch JATNLP without skipping over some parts to make it go faster.

So, I did both! Knitting kept my hands from skipping over things, and I eventually started knitting on autopilot and fully tuned into the show! Perfect hack if you need to move while listening to or watching something. It doesn’t have to be knitting- Just something to keep your hands busy!

Days 8 and 9 of Wholesome Canon JATNLP Facts

I forgot yesterday- so here's a combo!

Day 8: Jake always cares about his mateys even if someone else is in more trouble. This is seen near the end of S1E25, Peter Pan Returns Part 1. Jake looks at Peter as he's talking about losing his shadow (Right before "I Can't Fly"), and then looks at everyone else in turn. He doesn't want to go a second without knowing that they're okay- especially when he's away from them like in Jake's Never Land Rescue.

Day 9: Izzy is said to take after Tinker Bell, due to her care for all living creatures and her stubbornness. This may be why she was given the Pixie Dust.

[theybibsxi-archived]

Day 7 of Wholesome Canon JATNLP

Marina’s VA said that Marina actually has a slight crush on Jake!
