YOU hates terfs

Stop scrolling save a life

I’ve seen a lot of posts on my dash tonight about users who are threatening suicide, with other Tumblr members posting in effort to try to get ahold of them. I think you all should see this:

IF THERE IS EVER A TUMBLR USER WHO HAS POSTED A GOOD-BYE MESSAGE, SUICIDE NOTE, VIDEO, OR ANYTHING OF THE SORT, PLEASE FOLLOW THIS POST.

1. Scroll to the top of your dashboard.

2. See the circular question mark icon at the top? It’s the third one over from your home symbol. Click on that, and a screen similar to the one in the picture will come up.

3. Where you can type in questions, the box with the magnifying glass at the top, type in the word “suicide.”

4. Click on the first link that shows up. It should say, “Pass the URL of the blog on to us.”

5. Type in the user’s URL and tell Tumblr admin that the user is contemplating suicide and has posted a message indicating that they are going through with it or will be attempting. Hit send! Tumblr administration will perform a number of actions to contact the user and take the necessary steps to prevent the suicide.

TUMBLR: THIS COULD SAVE A USER’S LIFE. PLEASE DO NOT IGNORE SUICIDE THREATS.

Reblog this to keep other users aware. Suicide isn’t a joke, and neither is someone’s life. If you didn’t know this, someone else may not, either. Pass it on.

World Building Tips

@reeseweston asked me if I have any tips on world-building, so I thought I’d share them on here in case it’s helpful for anyone else. (You tagged me as @thereisnothingwrongwithbeingmad - this is my writeblr.)

I can only speak for what I personally do and what works for me, but feel free to reblog this and add your own tips and advice from your own experience. So, let’s start by breaking it down into different sections. Before anyone panics - I very rarely fill all of these points out before I get into the story (or even after I finished it), and I don’t think you should either. Just start with the basics - the first two is the one I find most essential - and come back to the list whenever you’re stuck while you’re writing the story, or whenever something pops into your mind that you think would be helpful later.

Geography - To me, this is the most helpful thing to start with. You don’t necessarily have to draw a map, it’s enough if you write down where everything is and what characteristics each place has (dry, humid, forests, deserts, etc.), but you should know where your settings are within the world you created. It doesn’t matter what genre you write in or how big your world is - like, half of my current WIP is going to take place on a ship, but I still have to know where my OCs are going and why. It also gives you an opportunity to name everything, so your characters can actually refer to places by their names.

Political/social structure - Second most important thing when I’m starting a new story. How is your world governed? What is it made up of? Countries? Empires? Kingdoms? Are there governments? Oligarchies? City states? Tribal chiefs? A mixture of things? Is there a religious authority? Multiple religions clashing with each other? Is religion outdated or a central aspect of life? What is people’s relationship to their regional authority? Do they like how things are going? Is there a revolt brewing? Is there slavery? Lower classes? Filthy rich people? Is the state responsible for keeping everyone fed or is it every men for himself? And most importantly - what is your characters’ relationship to the governing authorities? Do they like how things are run? Are they outside of the influence of their government/king/etc.? Or are they in the middle, taking part in every important decision?

Religion/Science - What is the central truth that the inhabitants of your world live by? Is it technology and science that runs everything? Is it magic? Religion? Post-apocalyptic sense of dread and survival instincts? What do people think about the world and why? Do your characters agree with the mainstream? Disagree? If you have a religion, what type of god/gods are there? What are the rituals that need to be observed by people to be considered good citizens? If science is what people trust and believe in, how do they view religious societies outside of their own country/region? Did their beliefs change over time? Why?

Law and Justice - What sort of moral codes do people in your world have? How is murder viewed and punished? Can you get into jail for stealing some food? What sort of disciplinary actions are there to keep people from breaking the law? Who are the people allowed to judge and punish others? Is law to be feared or respected? Do people have a right to a trial when accused? Do the gods decided or do men decide? Humans or other species? Are there death sentences?

Creatures/species/races - is your world inhabited mainly by humans? What sort of species are there other than your average human? Are there fantastical creatures like griffins, dragons, etc? Do they co-exist peacefully? Is one considered inferior to the other (i.e. humans vs other species)?

History - what events in the country/realm/planet’s past have defined their present? Were there wars with others that shaped how they view the world and interact with each other? Did they form alliances with others? Are they a big power or an insignificant political entity? Did religion disappear in favour of science? The other way around?

Culture - what behaviours are seen as normal? Is there a difference between what is expected from men and women? Low and high classes? How do they view art? Is a profession like being a painter or a singer accepted or frowned upon? Do they have an extensive written history? Do they use books for record keeping or entertainment? Do they even have books/ever had books? Do they have time for leisure or is it all business? How many languages are there and is it important to know more than one? What does an educated person behave and look like in your world? How do people dress?

Steve Has A Type

(Click for better quality)

He’s a panromantic disaster himbo. When Belos showed him pictures of William and Daphne, he definitely thought both of them were attractive too.

By the way, Steve and Lilith broke up because Lilith realized she was aromantic (she’s aroace) and didn’t have romantic feelings for him, it was purely platonic on her end. They decided to just remain friends after that. And Steve went right back to pining for Belos.

I drew the first pic when my computer was still broken and I didn’t wanna redo it, so that’s why it’s on paper while the rest are digital.

Please reblog my art, likes don’t boost visibility.

What about the bad things I learned to love?

this is so so important to me and mine, and I'm asking you to Do Something so I'll respect your time and keep it brief

in the UK, if 100k sign a a government petition it will be brought to Parliament and debated. y'all know this country is suffering from some 80s-style bigotry right now, and this is one symptom: almost 200k fuckholes have come together to force the government to discuss whether it is 'appropriate' to tell children that queer people exist. this is a big symbolic victory for them. and i am burning with fury.

please, if you're from the UK, sign this counter-petition so they can at least see how much of a minority they are. simply put, the attempt to put these bastards in their place isn't gathering enough steam. there are barely 2000 more signatures now than there were this morning (27th January 2023), and that isn't enough. i refuse to let these people feel even a moment of victory or satisfaction. please help.
