Hello, you can call me Vale! Here’s a few things you might wanna know about me and this blog:
I’m Non-binary [They/Them]
I’m in my mid-twenties
I’m disabled
Everything here will be SFW, but suggestive content and darker themes (blood, horror, etc.) can/will also appear
This blog is mostly for the DCA, but other things I’m fond of might make appearances as well (Aka: get ready to see some cute little animals and horrifying, yet strangely wholesome, monsters)
You will most definitely see my cute little gals on here from time to time (I’m a proud pet parent to an elderly cat and a rambunctious parrot)

In my current fic project (enemies-to-lovers monster Sun and Moon accidentally adopt a small child, title pending), I have a Y/N. Now, I don't want to use "Y/N" directly if I can help it, it's a little difficult to read, but the story is not primarily in second-person and they're being referred to often, which makes it pretty hard to avoid "Y/N". I've been trying a lot of workarounds but referring to them as "the child" is getting repetitive fast and I haven't quite figured out the nicknames. So, I figured I'd ask the masses for input.
How should I refer to Y/N?
🐬 it we ball (use Y/N)
Lots of nicknames!
Avoid Y/N but use whatever makes the most sense, even if that is sometimes Y/N
Voting ended onMay 11
I also need to come up with some better nicknames to use (and a title), so if anyone has suggestions I'd love to hear them!

Be careful of the double-speak in the Update Post.
Staff has officially posted an update regarding the reblog decoupling, and while they are reversing the change for now, we need to look closely at the language they are using. This is a classic example of corporate "double speak" designed to de-escalate a PR crisis while keeping the door open for the same harmful features later.
The Post: Reblog Update: We’re Reversing the Change
The Red Flag:
"We still believe there's a better version of how reblogs can work. One that gives every voice in a chain the credit it deserves. But we want to get there with you."
The Breakdown: When they say they want to give every voice the credit it deserves, they are still justifying the decoupling of notes. They are framing the destruction of the original creator's attribution as a feature for the rebloggers or the loss of community. Their goal hasn't changed. They just realized their current execution was a technical and social disaster.
They also mention working "directly with some of you." This often means selecting a small, curated group of "power users" who may not prioritize the accessibility or safety needs that we have been fighting for.
Viral Hell & The Power of the Call to Arms
To my friends and followers: my condolences for going viral are accepted. I love you. Let’s look at the numbers. My original post on this has cleared 24,000 notes. This is exactly why a Call to Arms was necessary. When we first saw the decoupling, we saw the immediate theft of credit.
In my case, over 10,000 notes were stolen or hidden by the uncoupling before I even realized the extent of the damage. This isn't just a UI preference. It is the systematic erasing of a creator’s reach and legacy.
Why we cannot stop now:
Staff’s reversal is a tactical retreat, not a surrender. Their language proves they still intend to push for a version of decoupling in the future. We forced their hand because:
The volume of feedback was undeniable. 24k notes on a single advocacy post is a massive indicator of user dissatisfaction.
Emails and Support Tickets work. They specifically cited emails as a reason for the reversal.
Public pressure creates friction. By making this a PR nightmare on Bluesky and X, we made the cost of the update too high for them to maintain.
The Mission Moving Forward:
We have won the first battle, but the Double Speak in their post tells us the war isn't over. They are going to try to rebrand a change like this in a few weeks or months.
Keep the pressure on: Continue to reblog your concerns when they surface.
Stay Vocal: They are betting on us getting tired and going back to business as usual. We need to show them that our safety and our creative credit are non-negotiable. Continue to voice concerns when they surface.
We’ve seen that we can move the needle. Let's make sure they don't try to move it back when they think we aren't looking.
Thanks to some very eager fellow citizen scientists, I have now tested the new features pretty thoroughly and can summarise the new system as follows: wow this is dogshit.
Now, as to how it works and the specific implementations of the dogshiticity, here is what I have observed from initial experimentation:
OP will get notified of all reblogs, so far as initial testing has gone. This includes tagged reblogs, commented reblogs, and uncommented-untagged "silent" reblogs. This also continues to include reblogs-of-reblogs. The only place OP will be able to see this is in their activity feed, because there is no longer any single location to see all notes/ reblogs on a post. Nobody else will be able to see ALL reblogs.
OP will get notified of any replies directly to their original post. So if you chatter in the notes of the original, OP will see that.
OP will get notified of any likes directly to their original post.
OP will NOT get notified of any likes to commented subsequent reblogs, as those now form a "new" post. Anyone wishing to leave a like should click the like button on OP's section of a reblogged post, otherwise OP will not know.
OP will NOT get notified of any discussion in the notes on comment-reblogs, as those are discussions on a "new" post.
OP will NOT be able to find any specific reblog chain, because for OP the notes on their post will only ever show the direct-from-OP reblogs and never any subsequent ones.
OP will NOT be able to find anything in their notes, and the Activity Feed is not a reliable place to be able to go hunting for other people's previous reblogs.
OP will NOT be able to turn off reblogging on a post, so there is no way to keep a post contained if it takes off in a way you don't want it to.
Every chain effectively becomes a complete silo, unconnected to any other reblog and only barely connected to the original post.
We will NOT be able to scroll through the notes of a post and look for funny tags or interesting comments, because the notes are now wildly fragmented and there is no central reference point. So it will not be possible to look through the notes and see if a hundred other people have already said that thing you were about to say.
OP will NOT be able to do anything to stop a harassment campaign that fills their activity feed, but also will not be able to find any of it in the notes of their post unless the harassers reblog directly from OP every time. This is a feature which will absolutely be used to harass people.
It is also VERY unhelpful that we don't have language to easily disambiguate "comments" (as in, a reblog that someone added something to, thus creating a new post) and "comments" (non-reblgo chatter that happens in the notes). Not that we can reliably see either of those any more.
So! Now you and I are armed with this valuable knowledge about how the new system works, please go to tumblr's feedback form and explain why this is a series of bad problems that you would like them to stop doing.
The feedback form is available here: https://www.tumblr.com/support
Since some of you don't seem to understand how this 'new notes' thing works, I'll break it down:
I'm the OP. I'm making this post. If you like, comment, reblog (without comment) on this post, then I'm the one who will see all those notes in my activity page.
However...
If you reblog (with comment), I will get a notification that you did that, but any likes/comments/reblogs (without comment) you get on that reblog will only be shown to you. As OP I won't see them.
If someone adds a reblog (with comment) to your reblog...as OP I won't see that. I won't see any of those notes in my activity page.
Basically, if someone with a large following makes a comment, then they will get all the notes and OP will see nothing. If OP has said something silly because they're, y'know, 21 and it happens, and then someone reblogs it onto the dash of someone with a large following who then dunks on them for fun? OP doesn't see it, doesn't get notes for it, but they're gonna get the harrassment for it in their inbox.
If I, someone with a 5 digit follower count, reblog something to correct misinformation on Ancient Egypt, then OP will never see it unless it was on the original post, but I will continue to get notes on that post even though it's not my post. If I reblog fanart, or just art in general, with a comment like 'Oh this is so lovely!' then OP will not see any of the notes from people reblogging it from me. They'll only see my reblog. So it's possible for an art post by someone else to have 200 notes for them, but 9000 for someone who reblogs it with a comment, and the OP artist will have no idea it's been seen by that many people.
It's killing blow to the community we've built here, by someone higher up who doesn't understand that being able to see all the comments and reblogs is what makes this site the place I keep coming back to.
That's what sucks.
I encourage people to go to tumblr's support page, select contact support, and then in the dropdown menu select 'Feedback' and leave polite and constructive feedback (for those of you who enjoy 'emails worded politely but are a strong 'are you an idiot?', try that way of wording it). They're more likely to listen to you if you're not an asshole about it. I've already gone and done this, and I hope others will too.
so as long as tumblr keeps this, here's the tumblr version of etiquette that was maintained when twitter's quote-retweets affected artist visibility/notes:
for art that someone has added reblog commentary to (or removed the caption from), reblog from the source
otherwise, avoid adding reblog comments to art (as this will affect the artist's notes/visibility)—utilize tags and replies to provide commentary (which artists will absolutely appreciate)
reblog comments are comments added to the body of a post, not the tags and not replies.
for everyone asking, tumblr is making it impossible for you to add onto ANY post without making it its own separate post. If you put any addition on someone's post its now your post. The OP won't even be privy to any notes it gets unless they check that specific post. This makes it impossible to track anything which is really detrimental to artists who need to know their reach or just see what people are saying about their work. It also just means you can't reblog with any additions without taking notes away from your original post. This is part of what made twitter hostile and its the last gasping breath of a site run by people who don't understand it.
The reblog chain is one of the things that makes Tumblr unlike anywhere else. All the notes on reblogs are attributed to the original post, no matter which branch people actually liked or reblogged. We want to keep encouraging conversations, and give contributors the recognition they deserve.
Soon, you'll be able to like, reblog, or reply to any part of a reblog chain, and that note will go to that reblog's author. Each reblog will have its own counts, instead of one aggregated number from every version of the post. And yes, you’ll be able to like multiple posts in one chain.
If a reblog doesn't add anything, the love flows up to the last person in the chain who did. Your post doesn't lose notes just because people spread it quietly.
Past notes will stay on the original post — we're only changing what happens from here on out. Retroactively re-attributing all of them would be... a lot.
This is just the beginning. More changes are coming as we keep building this out – stay tuned!
I'm supposed to be on a social media break but this. Hearing about this genuinely makes me wonder if I should come back to this site at all. I'm already not going back to a lot of them but I was genuinely feeling pretty good about coming back here soon. Now though... not so much.
Like, Tumblr was one of the few remaining sites that didn't feel completely terrible to be on in this day and age and this changes that entirely. I really hope this doesn't go through or at least gets rolled back at some point. I'd love to start posting here again but not if this is how things are going to be moving forward.
what's up, coming at you as one of those dirty-minded smut enjoying asexuals handing out water at the orgy or whatever the fuck people say. anyway, lately i get this kind of insidious sense that people think of sex-positive or sex-favorable aces as the "cool" aces. like "hey don't worry man, i'm asexual but you don't have to do anything to accommodate it." And of course it's a spectrum/umbrella, people can be asexual and sex-positive or sex-favorable, i know that from experience. But i worry it's also seen as the *more palatable* version of asexuality.
So here's the reminder that you are not weird or prudish or childish or mean if you don't want people talking about sex around you. You are not morally reprehensible or puritan or fascist if sex makes you uncomfortable or upset. if someone tries to make you feel ashamed of that discomfort, or pushes your boundaries on purpose just because they can, they're the ones in the wrong for not respecting you. Never, ever compromise yourself for the sake of people who think you're less than for how you feel and who you are.
Lately I see a lot of discussions where asexuality is brought up, and the immediate response is "Hey but asexual people can talk about/have/enjoy sex tho" which like
Yes we should remember that. Sex positive aces are real, valid, and valuable people. But sometimes I feel like this line of thinking is less about "Remember that many kinds of people exist" and more about "Let's not talk about those inconvenient asexuals that don't like sex at all. Those guys aren't real and valid like my friend over here, the asexual that's cool about sex, so let's focus on the cool sex positive aces instead. Definitely what asexual people are about- liking sex just like everyone else."
There’s a reason lots of good parents say to babies stuff like
“You’re excited to go to the park!”
“Oh, it makes you mad that we can’t go outside.”
And then when the babies get a little bit older the parents can say
“You seem upset. Are you sad?”
“Are you excited that gramma is coming over today?”
Which lets the kid (who is learning to utilize speech) respond with yes or no, which may prompt more questions, like
“So you aren’t sad, are you angry?”
“Yes, does it make you happy when gramma is here?”
And then, finally, when the child is learning to use language in a more complex way, the parents can say,
“How does it make you feel?”
“Why are you feeling like that?”
And it’s all about teaching emotional awareness. I really reccomend using the process on yourself. Learn to ask, “am I happy?” “Am I sad?” “Am I anxious?”
Then practice identifying, out loud or on paper if you can, “I’m happy.” “I’m upset.” “I’m sad.” “I’m anxious.”
Final step: “Why am I feeling anxious? I’m still thinking about that awkward conversation earlier.” “Why am I happy? It’s such a beautiful day outside.” “Why am I sad? None of my friends are responding to my messages.”
It really helps you notice patterns (“I’m more likely to be happy when I’m around this person.” “When I haven’t eaten, I often feel angry.” “If I don’t plan ahead, I get anxious.”) which is the first step in avoiding things and people that are bad for you and encouraging things and people that are good.
The Life Cycle of a Naga and Their Annoying Mer — Character Visuals Guide
This is a quick visual guide for The Life Cycle of a Naga and Their Annoying Mer on Ao3. [It's a Mer Eclipse (FNAF DCA) X Gender-neutral Naga Reader family fic.]
Down below you'll find some helpful visual notes for the main cast.
The Eel Naga (The Reader)
[This is my own interpretation of what this story's Reader-insert looks like, but it is in no way the official/only way they can look. Please do feel free to picture the Reader however you wish to :)]
The Reader is a White Ribbon Eel/Ghost Eel (Picture 1) Naga with distant Cobra (Picture 2) Naga ancestry
Eel Nagas have scaly humanoid torsos and arms, an eel-like tail instead of legs, and serpent-like faces. Their gills rest inside their nostrils.
The Reader's hood trails up the side of the neck like a regular cobra, but ends at the top of their head in a jacket hood-like fashion. Their hood can extend to cover their eyes, or fold back to rest above their brow.
The Reader's eyes are fully up to interpretation (though I personally picture them having a pale lavender hue.)
Nagas have thicker and longer claws and fangs than Mers. Their upper canines, the venom fangs, are the biggest fangs in a Naga's mouth.
The Mer (Eclipse)
Eclipse is a half blue, half orange mixed Mer. Half his face (the blue side) and his hands no longer have scales, many of his ray-like head fins are torn, and half of his tail fin is tattered.
Mers have sleek humanoid torsos and arms, a long, fish-like tail instead of legs, and round, disk-like faces. Eclipse's gills rest on his torso.
Eclipse has nine, ray-like head fins around his face, as well as red, ruffly neck and waist fins. He also has a nightcap-like head ornament that extends out from the back of his head.
Eclipse has one red and one white eye.
Mers also have fangs and claws, though they are shorter and slimmer in comparison to Nagas.
Neb
Neb, or Nebula, is half-Naga, half-Mer. They are the most Naga-like as far as appearances go.
Their body is half light blue and half light orange. Their eyes are blue.
Similarly to the Reader, they have a serpent-like face. Their snout is only a bit shorter than the average Naga's, and their nostrils contain their gills.
They have seven ray-like head fins similar to Eclipse's.
They have an eel-like Naga tail.
[More TBA later on]
Dia
Dia, or Diatom, is half-Naga, half-Mer. They are the most Mer-like as far as appearances go.
Their body is primarily white, with blue and orange spots/patches scattered throughout. Their face is half blue and half orange. Their eyes are different hues of the Reader's own eye color.
Similarly to Eclipse, they have a flat, disk-like face. Their gills lie on their torso.
Their head does not have fins or a hood.
They have an eel-like Naga tail, but one that has vertical, not horizontal, Mer tail fins.
[More TBA later on]
Pic
Pic, Pickle, or Pickleweed, is half-Naga, half-Mer. They are the most mixed as far as appearances go.
Their body is light green with a white underbelly. Their eyes are red.
Similarly to the Reader, they have a serpent-like face. Their snout is much shorter than the average Naga's, and their nostrils and chest contain their gills.
They have a hood like the Reader, but it trails off into a nightcap-like cone at the back, similar to Eclipse's head ornament.
@little-stars-writing-club so i ended up writing a little something based off this month's prompt. (i had been working on this since the 1st) this is my first time actually sitting my fluffy marshmallow butt down and writing something that isnt an outline/bulletpoint of sorts or even just a jotted down idea paragraphs…i admit this still feels pretty scary to me but i also think its good i try to push past my anxieties a little bit.
December Theme: Y/N saves DCA mers from being caught in a net on a beach
Title: Mers of The Slime Sea
Word count: (chapter one 1,767)
chapter two here!
befor getting into this i will say i was moreso… i guess inspired by the prompt… that is to say do i think i followed said prompt perfectly NOPE :) is this perfect or impeccable writing nah…but i do rly like the idea i ended up writing about, this was just all in good fun. this is basically about my dca slime rancher au…i ended up with an idea for making a mer au for it.
You both loved and hated your job. Don’t get anyone wrong—the sights were breathtaking, from the multicolored trees to the sparkling hues of vibrant flora and the natural beauty of the surrounding islands. The glistening slime sea was a marvel, and don’t even have someone get you started on the view of the sky on this planet. You could go on for hours about how the sunsets and sunrises of the Rainbow Islands are mesmerizing; you would find a nice cliff to sit by and stare at the sky for hours, if only your job allowed you more time to truly take it all in. But no, you were always busy and couldn’t afford to get distracted—unfortunately. While you could look around, you always disliked how you never had the chance to really explore before having to jump to the next part of the Rainbow Islands on your daily rotation. The islands were stunning. You just wished you could have more time to take it all in.
anyways…here we go! :D
@luckyyyduckyyy guess who finally decided to write, WRITE something! (An attempt was made 😅👍)
Today seemed like it was turning out to be just another one of those days. Here you were, by one of the ranching beaches of the Rainbow Isles. The calming sounds of the Slime Sea, its rich, salty yet sweet smell, the glistening water, vibrant land coral, and stunning rock formations all called out to you. You sighed, wishing you could sit here for an hour or two to take it all in. Looking for shells or sea glass along the beaches would be incredible too, but NOPE—you had to focus on the task at hand and couldn’t get carried away. Well, maybe a little searching for sea glass wouldn’t hurt…
This afternoon, you were assigned to inspect some new technomatic nets that the off-planet lab wanted to test. You were informed that these nets are designed to mostly function as corrals for water-based slimes. The nets serve to help free up more ranching space and can even act as protective barriers around certain parts of the rainbow islands as well, preventing wild land-based slimes from accidentally falling into the depths of the sea.
You shiver at the thought, feeling a light tug at your heart, as you recall the times you've seen—or even inadvertently sent—a poor, unsuspecting slime over a cliff. Even you have been prone to accidentally running too fast or making a sharp turn, only to end up face-first in the embrace of the slime sea.
As you make your way down to the beaches by the Slime Sea, you let your mind wander a bit. Approaching the shore, the artificial neon glow of the techno-matic nets stands out against the natural beauty of the Slime Sea. Large metal buoys bob foreignly in the unwavering waves. You adjust your pack slightly and crouch down for a closer look at the nets. Eventually, you sit on your knees, holding your Game Boy-like device in your hands to scan the nets and ensure everything is in order. However, you can't help but get distracted by the scenery once more. Metaphorically speaking, you feel drawn out to sea by the gentle splashes of water, a light breeze wafting through the beachside, and the adorable slimes frolicking carefree around you.
A smile spreads across your face as you notice the variety of slimes. A few puddle slimes are happily swaying with the gentle waves in one of the enclosed techno-matic net corrals; some of them are even asleep—how adorable! You turn back to your work and quickly inspect a few of the nets. Everything seems to be functioning well, with not a single issue. Along the way, you get to pet a few puddle slimes and collect some sea glass as you walk down the line of nets, inspecting each one along the coral beach.
As you continue, your gaze wanders, and you spot a few angler slimes here and there. Sometimes, these slimes accidentally make themselves and nearby slimes dizzy with their flashing lures, prompting you to chuckle. Then you notice the familiar sight of several rock and pink slimes. You shake your head—no matter where you go, pink slimes seem to be everywhere. You also see a few sea chickens, but who knows how long they will stick around. As you take note of the sea chicken closest to you, a pink slime suddenly slides forward and gobbles it up before you can even blink. Your expression shifts to a mix of shock and a hint of fear… those pink slimes and their insatiable hunger!
Just as you think everything is going smoothly, you notice something odd at the end of the row of nets—a bright yellow fish? Was it even a fish? How did it get caught in the net? You thought these nets were only meant for slimes. Granted, not much is known about what lives in the Slime Sea... but you know you need to free whatever little critter is stuck. You straighten up and walk over quickly, skipping a few nets in between until you reach the last glowing net. At first, you think it best to report this to the lab, but as you get a clearer view of what's caught, your thoughts are completely thrown for a loop.
You blink in surprise, your eyes wide and mouth agape. At first, you only caught a glimpse and thought it was a single brightly colored fish. But closer inspection reveals two small, colorful fish-like creatures trapped in a neon net, their glittery fins shimmering against the glow of the net and the sparkle of the waves. These little beings are unlike anything you've seen before. You quickly refocus and start working to free the creatures from the net, stepping into the water and letting your clothes get a little wet—nothing you can’t handle.
As you bend down to the net, the two little fish stop their frantic thrashing. They freeze and look at you. They are so small that you think they might be little guppies. One of them is a mix of vibrant warm colors—yellow and orange—with some red fins. Its pretty rays resemble a sun around its round face. The other fish showcases an array of cool colors with its blues and purples, and an unusually striking white crescent-like marking stands out against its blue body, reminding you of the moon.
You decide to help the yellow, sun-like guppy first, as it seems to be in greater need of assistance. The poor thing has its head stuck in the net, and its rays seem to be the main reason it got caught. As you slowly approach, reaching your hands out, the little yellow guppy begins to panic again, trying to squirm its head out of the net. You can't help but gently speak to the guppy in hushed tones, even though you doubt it can understand; perhaps your tone will convey that you mean no harm. You carefully cup your hands around the little guppy, and it stills. You can feel it moving slightly as it tries to peep up at you while you lift it out of the net. It works! It appears these little fish are similar to slimes, which is why the net doesn’t seem to let them pass through. By wrapping your hands around them, you manage to obstruct the techno-matic net and free the fish.
With a smile, you gently place the yellow guppy back into the water. Then you quickly move to free the blue guppy from the net. This one has its torso caught in the middle of the net, along with what looks like a small nightcap squished against its body. However, unlike the yellow guppy, this blue one seems much more aggressive. It flails violently as you try to get closer, even attempting to bite you a few times. You quickly position your hands as close as possible to block enough of the net to allow the blue fish to escape. Your hands create a barrier that enables the blue fish to swim off in a glittery blur to join its yellow companion.
The two little fish keep their distance, yet they still stare at you with their small eyes. You think for a moment, your gaze shifting from the glowing green nets to the colorful guppies. It wouldn’t be good to leave them here; it’s likely they could get caught in the nets again. The only place you know where the nets haven’t been set up is closer to the conservatory, but that will be a long trip to relocate them. You wonder how you can transport them safely. Then, an idea hits you: your pack! It can hold water just fine. Perhaps you could open the back compartment and fill it with water, like some kinda fish backpack. Yeah! That could work! You think to yourself, The only downside is that you won’t be able to use your vacuum pack to collect anything, but aside from that, it should be perfect for carrying the guppies.
Hurriedly, you slide the star-shaped pack off your shoulders and pop open the back. You fill the storage chamber with water and quickly scoop up the little guppies.
Holding the pack up to your face, you see the two guppies bewildered in their new container. The yellow one looks at you with wide white eyes, curious yet a lil fearful, while the blue one narrows its little yellow eyes and pouts. You gently bring the vacuum pack a little closer and reassuringly say, “Don’t worry! I’ll get you little ones back to the slime sea in no time, free from any nets!” You let out a little laugh and give a wink to the fish as you show them a small thumbs-up. You have no idea if they can understand what you're trying to convey, but you can’t help but express yourself nonetheless.
Carefully sliding the improvised fish pack onto your back, you make your way out of the water and onto the dry shore, trying to be quick but careful with your new fishy friends. You hope to return to the conservatory before nightfall. While the rainbow islands are beautiful, they can also be very dangerous at night with ferals lurking about and the chances of tars being higher. You consider using the teleporters, but quickly end up deciding against it, too uncertain about what might happen to the little guppies.
Sooo— you'll just have to take the longer route. can't be that hard, you practically know the rainbow islands like the back of your hand...yeah...you'll get back to the conservatory before the sun even sets!
