Still not sure what’s up with The Untamed and at this point you’re a little scared to ask?

I have ignored all my other responsibilities and projects for the past 2-3 days to bring to you this Stupidly Thorough Introduction to The Untamed. The entire slideshow is 32 slides long - the rest is under the cut, or you can view the whole thing as a PDF here. (As of May 2022 the PDF is more up to date than the graphics in this post, but it’s not major differences.)

I love it when people take fic writing seriously. I love when it's not 'Here's this dumb thing I wrote' and instead it's 'Here's this thing I put blood, sweat and tears into. Here's this thing I slaved away at, trying new writing techniques and editing over and over. Here's this dialogue that kept me awake at night. Here's this beautiful turn of phrase I thought up. Here's this thing that I wrote with vulnerability and heart, and I am proud to share it with you.'

dating-type app but instead of matching for romance it connects writers/artists+ who don't want to do research with autistic people with the appropriate special interest

inspectorlyfra

the creators get the needed information without needing to filter out filler and translate technical jargon, and the autistic person gets someone who's willing to listen to their infodumps. what is there to lose

somehow instead of saying "as a treat", I've started using the phrase "for morale", as if my body is a ship and its crew, and I (the captain) have to keep us in high spirits, lest we suffer a mutiny in the coming days.

and so I will eat this small block of fancy cheese, for morale. I will take a break and drink some tea, for morale. I will pick up that weird bug, for morale.

I'm not sure if it helps, but it does entertain me

This was the art piece I made for the MDZs RBB!

WWX surrounded by fragments of memories from his past lives.

@dragongirlg-fics wrote an amazing fic to accompany this, it was such a joy to read each update and I was gripped by many emotions.

LINK TO FIC

"Five times Wei Wuxian died in the jianghu, and one time he lived.

Or: An exploration of the term "jianghu" centered around Wei Wuxian's rebirths and deaths in various jianghu settings."

Once again, I am BEGGING people to realize that tumblr tags are a filing system and not a visibility metric.

One does not come to tumblr to tag-spam for notes and get popular. There is no algorithm here. There is no monetization here. There are no influencers here.

This is where every other social media system comes to die. And we cackle and roast marshmallows on the pyre like the gremlins we are.

If you tag-spam to get your post seen by as many people as possible you are actually getting blocked by a bunch of people pissed off that you shoved an unrelated post into a tag they were looking through for relevant content. You also are going to be reported by people for spam. Because you are spamming.

Also, nobody seeks popularity here. It's viewed as a curse.

I only learned recently that you can report tag spamplease understand that if I look at a tag I am looking for THAT TAG and all else is only an annoyancetumblr

I remember being in first grade and this white boy asked me why I wear "normal" clothes if I'm Indian and don't Indians only wear feathers? So yes I do think first graders need more awareness about race

Also Sesame Street was made by a bunch of hippies that loved puppets and educators that were trying to reach in-city kids (particularly kids of color) who didn't have access to good education resources.

Sesame Street has specifically addressed racism and other forms of socially oppressive orders since the beginning. Once again Rave Dubin is a moron.

Complaining about Sesame Street going woke is like complaining about Star Trek going woke.

I highly recommend the book Street Gang!it’s about how SS was developedsesame street

“if no art makes you feel anything, make your own art and feel something” is too raw of a line to have come from a jenna marbles video of her painting a rainbow/polka dot seahorse saying “it’s seahorse time” on a denim jacket

Why do you people feel profound thought has to come from high places? The gutter looks at the stars too

eternal-fractal

not only did you prove your point, but you showed an example of it in the same sentence

deep thoughts

Lmao when I made that B5 post I got a badge for making over 100 posts. Oh, tumblr, honey. Idk if reblogs are counted but I have over 50k posts total, I’m sure at least 2-3k of those are original.

Anonymous asked:

With the ongoing strikes, are you still working on your comic? Or are you scabbing?

…are you under the impression that I, a Japanese resident who has no career in the film OR TV industry, who is making FREE comics as a hobby on my off time, is somehow a part of the Writers Guild of America, a Union for Hollywood writers?

I support the WGA and the SAG for striking, and I think it’s excellent that they’re demanding better work. That all being said… I’m not in any way related to the industry or the unions.

If you have somehow gotten the mistaken impression that doing ANY writing during the strike is ‘scabbing’ then I dare you to head on over to Ao3 and try that shit over yonder. See how far you get.
