hii i saw that this account of yours was in tumblr jail for a while but i'm so happy to see that you're back ! Do you mind me asking what was the process you did to get it unshadowbanned ? My account has been in tumblr jail for a couple months now and i couldn't access any of my inboxes and/or messages. I've submitted a ticket but i'm wondering if there are extra steps i've missed? Hope i'm not being a bother by asking :")
I contacted them, let them know what the issue was and then I waited. that’s all I did.
from what it’s worth, people have told to me that submitting several tickets will make all your tickets flagged as spam, and tumblr will either take longer to get to your case or ignore/delete your tickets entirely? so you should only submit a ticket to them only once and then wait for them to get to you. I’m not sure how accurate that is, just sharing what I’ve been told. but I submitted mine only once, waited, and they reached back to me and fixed the issue for me pretty quickly.
I hope yours gets solved soon <3
I just want to start by saying that no, I am not a fan of gen ai. I avoid ai-generated fic if I came across one that's properly tagged as such. but I still don't agree with people who say "you (general you) are a bad, terrible person if you use gen ai". because while the usage of gen ai can indeed be bad and extremely harmful, that still doesn't necessarily always mean "everybody who uses it is pure evil". I feel like people are much, much more complicated than whether or not they use gen ai.
a lot of my friends and family members openly use it. and while I don't agree with their actions, I know for a fact they aren't bad, evil people. I guess my point is that you can disagree with someone's action, and you can absolutely think their action is terrible and harmful, without letting this one terrible and harmful action define their entire self-worth and label them as "an evil person". humans are so much more than that.
harassment will not make you the good guy.
Thoughts on “proshipping” discourse?
as long as you (general you) don't harass real people over fiction, I don't care what you do (as long as no real person or animal is being harmed or harassed, literally what you do is not my business). if you do harass real people over fiction that I don't think you're the type of person I want to associate myself with
Something I think I really need to share, because people should hear it, is that- just because your fic is not immediately given a hundred kudos or comments does NOT mean your fic is bad!! Do not stop writing just because other people aren't reading it!! It doesn't mean your fic is terrible or you should never write again. Keep writing. Never stop if it's what makes you happy okay PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do not let that stuff ruin your love for a fic you're writing (This is something I've had to tell myself over and over for the past, like, week so I want more people to hear this)
this!!! ♡ don’t let the expectation of strangers’ approval take away the joy and comfort you find in writing
wow…in response to the person that just asked you to write a fic about prince from ghost9: that was insanely rude.
you have expressed your own dislike about rpf many times, talked about how you only write for your blorbos (me too), AND keep your writing separate from this account. ghost9 is a kpop group btw, and they just sadly asked you to write rpf (which is INSANE work btw imo) anyways, i love you and i hope nobody ever asks you to write rpf again🫶 may your blorbos always be whumped🫶
I didn’t even know it was rpf, I’m not really familiar with kpop yet 🥹 but thank you for letting me know! I appreciate this, though I’m not offended by that person. I just assume they probably just don’t know😅
Hi, I was wondering if it would be ok to ask a question about tagging on tumblr.
If I’m writing/drawing whump for fandom characters instead of OCs, is it ok to tag the posts with the tag for the fandom or the characters? For some reason I feel like I shouldn’t, and should keep the whump posts from being under the fandom name tag or character tags, but I don’t know for sure.
Thanks for your time :)
why wouldn’t it be okay? I don’t have an OC and I’m not interested in anybody’s OC. all of my consumption of whump is about my favorite canon characters, and I always tag character’s name, fandom, then whump.
for whump tag —whump, in my opinion, isn’t specifically about “who” it’s about. whump is about “what” the story is about. so it doesn’t matter if it’s reader insert, OC, or canon character, if it’s whump, it’s whump. and anybody is encouraged to tag it as such.
for character’s name and fandom tags — you are definitely encouraged to tag your character’s name and your fandom if your post is about a canon character from a specific fandom. that’s what I’ve been doing for the past decade I’m on tumblr.
so, to answer your question, I cannot tell you what to do, but from what I’ve been confidently doing for the past ten years is that I tag
- character’s name
- fandom
- whump
hi! if you’re taking requests, could you write a fanfic about Prince from GHOST9?
i feel like he has such a fun and expressive personality, but also a softer side that isn’t always obvious, so i’d love to see how you’d write him
thank you so much!!
I don’t take requests for fanfics. I only do writing advice in general. I also only write fanfics—which I keep separate from this blog—for in-ho and gi-hun from squid game. and tbh I have no idea who prince is because I’ve never heard of ghost9 before. for me to write fanfics about something, I have to literally be obsessed with the characters first
I never really watched squid game but was curious which one of the boys the main character is and which the villain because you talked about them a few times.
I was quiet shocked to see that In-ho is the actually villain and Gi-hun the hero of the story. I thought for a very long time it‘s the other way around, since both of them are giving a different vibe.
So my question is now, do you prefer Gi-hun to be the whumpee or that he is taking perhaps revenge and is the whumper towards In-ho?
neither. I prefer gi-hun as in-ho’s caretaker!
in-ho may be the main antagonist of the show. but tbh the real villains are the entire system, corruption and the vips. not in-ho. I’ll explain who the vips are in the latter part.
in-ho is in some way a victim of the game too. he was a player just like gi-hun back in 2015. his story is that his pregnant wife is ill and he needed money for her surgery. that's why he joined the game as a player. he won the game and got the money. but it was too late. his wife and the child still died. but it was implied that she should have been able to receive her surgery and treatment even without in-ho joining the game to begin with. but the system/corruption prevented her from that chance. before joining the game (as a player, not the front man), in-ho was a cop who was fired because he was accused of bribery, something in-ho insisted he didn’t do. according to him, he accepted money from his colleague to help cover his wife’s medical bills. it wasn’t bribery, but it was seen as bribery. thus he was let go. and thus he lost his family’s source of income. thus he had to join the game. (but in the end he couldn't save his family.)
his story is actually very similar to gi-hun’s (gi-hun also joined the game because he needed money for his mother's treatment, she also died in the end). both in-ho and gi-hun are victims of the game. the only difference is that gi-hun didn’t let the pain and grief he went through turn him into someone who’s lost faith in people and humanity as a whole. in-ho did. but that still doesn’t make him a monster in my opinion.
if anything both in-ho and gi-hun are tragic characters with tragic backstories. both are victims of the game, the corruption and the vips.
the vips are characters in the show, they are rich, powerful people who pay to watch the game for their own entertainment. in-ho serves them. so they are basically more powerful than in-ho and they are the reason why the game exists. they are the real villains of the show.
and when I say I prefer gi-hun as in-ho’s caretaker, I’m talking about my own personal favorite prompt where gi-hun saves in-ho from the game and the vips.
gi-hun’s purpose, the reason he comes back to the game, is to save people (other players). but he can’t save everybody. the other players still die. so my personal favorite thing to write about is that the only person gi-hun manages to save is in-ho.
there are also a lot of in-ho whump prompts that I enjoy. but the ones who hurt him are the vips. not gi-hun. gi-hun is the one who rescues him. so gi-hun is basically the one who cares for in-ho post-game.
Any thoughts about fandom culture and the rise of RP AI bot communities in them?
the thing about fandom culture is that I don’t really engage with them lol. as I’ve said before, I prefer vibing alone or just screaming about my blorbos with my close friends. I am actually very introverted. yeah I post fan contents on my personal accounts across my social media platforms and I post fanfics on ao3, but that’s not “me engaging with fandom”. more like “me doing what I love for my own enjoyment”.
so to answer your question, I don’t really have any opinions on them or what they do. I don’t know them and, with all due respect, what they do is not my business.
writing fanfics has made me go out of my way to learn things and do deep research in ways no colleges, exams, jobs or other projects ever could. yes, it’s a hobby. but it’s also my love and passion. next time you say “fanfics are an unserious activity for kids”, I will actually bite you. no ma’am, while kids certainly can enjoy writing fanfics, it’s sleep-deprived adults — with jobs and responsibilities, bills to pay, kids to raise, animals to take care of, battles to fight — who have built the fanfic community and always been the backbone of it since day one.
