I'm here, I'm queer, and my ADHD is moderate to severe
@afk-brain
currently autistic about an improvised half-life crackfic
Blue/Cobalt, any pronouns
Semi-gimmick blog: @daily-reaml-quotes
I do YouTube and commissions, among other things! https://linktr.ee/bluedragin
ok i just realized I should make an intro post lol
Important bits highlighted for clarity cuz I realized this became a bit of a wall of text-
You can call me Blue or Cobalt! Any pronouns (but they/he is more preferred) because idk what my gender is either lol. Mostly transmasc (not fully out of the closet, haven't really transitioned irl yet) but also I am a crow person?
tSotD (the webcomic I'm currently developing) blog is @the-secrets-of-the-dragons, which is mainly just an inactive dev log at the moment lol
Gimmick blog is @daily-reaml-quotes, where I've queued up a random quote from a really long quote list if you wanna check that out.
My other socials are some variant of BlueDragin, but I'm most active on YouTube, Discord, and here. I also do commissions!
I'm not good at tagging or knowing what might be sensitive to people, so all my posts and reblogs are basically ask to tag by default, and please tell me if I should add a tag or warning to something! If it helps, I rarely reblog anything that might be nsfw/nsfm (I am an adult, but I often feel uncomfortable with that kind of content myself), but I also participate in a few horror fandoms so just... tread lightly if you're sensitive to certain things.
Other blog stuff under the break:
Some fandoms and interests I have that mainly dominate my blog (with current hyperfixations in blue) are:
TMA/The Magnus Archives (and Protocol by extension)
Wings of Fire
Rain World
HLVRAI
SFTH
Flight Rising
D&D
Birds of all kinds, but especially corvids
Dragons
LGBTQIA+ stuff because I am many flavors of queer myself. Obviously.
Neurodivergent stuff cuz I have ADHD and autism
Art (I mainly do digital art and notebook doodles)
Science
Music (I play bass clarinet :D)
Video games
The occasional LDS or Utah thing (yes, I know, I'm not a very typical Mormon. It does mean I don't swear but I have no problem with someone else swearing if they're not being excessive :))
And whatever other random stuff comes across my brain and/or dash
Some recurring tags (linked below for navigation) on my blog (and the reaml quotes blog) are:
Fandom tags in general - All of my fandom content (excluding most reblogs). Mainly fanart. Also things having to do with a hyperfixation, often along the lines of "i wanna hyperfixate but i have a Thing":
#blue's tma hyperfixation
#blue's hlvrai hyperfixation
#blue's flight rising hyperfixation
#blue's rain world hyperfixation
#blue's wof hyperfixation
#blue's sfth hyperfixation
I also have vague fandom tags for when something reminds me of A Thing In This Fandom but I don't wanna use a hyperfixation tag or tag the fandom directly:
#blue's beholding stuff
#blue's tic-tac drawer
#blue's hibernal den
#blue's porl collection
#blue's weirdling tower
#blue's embarking on change
And some other misc. tags:
#blue's catching up on trashposts - all of the stupid things I've said in other places that frankly belong on tumblr. Or occasionally me just learning how to use tumblr lol
#blue's "sleep meds and frekakhu jfn brkeakgkaft" saga - me forgetting how to function. Mainly via forgetting to take my sleep meds or attempting to type "freaking breakfast", hence the tag name
#blue liveblogs about their nose's attempted murder apparently - Similar to the previous tag, started when I got sick in May 2025 and chaos ensued from there. Will probably be used for any future updates on being sick I guess, idk lol
#blue's hubris ig or #bluebris - Me reacting to random posts blowing up
#carpposting - Me interacting with the hecking carp meme lol
#tumblr go home you're drunk - Tumblr's algorithm being... tumblr. Also a lot of weird tumblr ads
#blue drew. woohoo (formerly #bluedles before I realized it was already taken) - Art tag
#i'm probably gonna draw this later lol - Anything I see that I might draw later - such as a cute picture of a cat or a bird that I wanna redraw as a certain character, or a fun concept that I may give a fleshed-out design. Anything that has since been drawn will be replaced with #i drew this later lol
#thing I drew later lol - Said drawings, either directly reblogged from the inspiration or a separate post with it linked and screenshotted, depending on how I'm feeling. Usually the latter.
#blue's impulsively decided to make an entire amv when they can barely do a 3-minute storyboard - Progress and whatnot on an animation of Transcendental Cha Cha Cha I'm working on. I'll link the final product here when I'm finished with it :D
#smores the shepsky - my dog :) he's a very fluffy german shepherd/husky mix and an absolute doofus
#reaml (and other tags with "reaml") - Anything related to the previously-mentioned gimmick blog. Further context on @daily-reaml-quotes
#tsotd and #the secrets of the dragons - Anything related to the previously-mentioned webcomic. Further context on @the-secrets-of-the-dragons. (Note that #tsotd is apparently shared by a few other fandoms, but frankly it's difficult to find an acronym that DOESN'T have conflicts so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯)
#corvraptor - corvid-utahraptor (or just general bird-theropod) species thing I made. Feel free to make your own I have no restrictions or anything (I do have some guidelines, though) on the species lol. Blue, my persona, is one themself:
I also use other random tags ("#mood", "#laugh rule", that kind of thing) if you want to search those too lol
General blog background:
The blog name originated from me saying "My brain is AFK [Away From Keyboard]" to describe my absent-mindedness and I thought it was a good name for a tumblr blog so here we are
Profile picture is my persona drawn over the "crow with a knife" meme
Banner is a drawing of The Archivist as a NightWing (TMAxWoF wheee)
I'm new to tumblr but have watched PM Seymour's videos on it for years, so I think I'm getting a hang of it pretty quickly lol

not to be insensitive but some of the salem witch trials were so funny bitches like “i saw her at the devils sacrament!!!” girl... what were YOU doing at the devils sacrament 👀
One of my favorite tropes is post apocalyptic towns being named after dilapidated signs with missing letters, like Novac (no vacancy) and Eaden (dead end). There’s something inexplicable about it
I'm instituting a new policy of "if I can't easily read your crusty scanned PDF then I'm sending it back to you, telling you to get your shit together and save your .docx as .pdf, and causing snakes to manifest inside your house"
this but also if you are in accounting and you have an Excel file please do not save it as a PDF or take a screenshot of it and then paste it into another Excel file
Good afternoon to everyone in the notes having a horrible time! Y'all are fighting demons I never knew existed!! I think every person that makes you do stupid time wasting shit like this because they refuse to learn basic computer literacy should be fired!!

I actually do think we should discourage women from becoming housewives. Do not become financially dependent on a man. That's how a lot of women ended up dead over the years. A man gets violent suddenly and you have to choose between homelessness or potentially dying at his hand because you have an enormous gap in your resume and no degrees or certifications or anything that will help you pursue a career that will allow you to be financially independent. He owns your bank account. His name is probably the one on the car. Try and leave and he can report it stolen. Where will you go then?
And if you do become a housewife, take steps to protect yourself. Make sure you’re legally married, for starters; stay-at-home girlfriends have very little legal recourse to claim their partner’s assets in a breakup. Make sure your name is on the house deed/rental agreement, and have your car in your name, even if your spouse is paying for it. Have your spouse transfer money every month into an account solely in your name, so you can buy yourself things without needing permission, but also so you can save up to leave if needed.
If your spouse fights you on any of this, then don’t quit your job. The tradwife to poverty pipeline is real, and so is financial abuse.
also, many women/people experience controlling behaviour and domestic violence from their partner for the first time during pregnancy. don’t risk thinking “he’s just stressed, it’ll get better when the baby comes” because it won’t. neither you and your child will ever be safe with that man. get out as early and safely as you can
hey. you have to love your trans brothers of color okay. and your trans sisters of color. and your nonbinary siblings of color. you have to okay. its simply non-optional
it's very frustrating seeing otherwise well-structured posts about media literacy and critical thinking bookended with statements about "nowadays", "nobody has literacy anymore", "this generation is so anti-intellectual", and the like, unquestioningly falling into better past fallacies.
Do we really think the 80s and its Satanic Panic were better at critical thinking? what about the 40s? the Victorian era? societies have always had problems with critical thinking and literacy, because most societies have dealt with propaganda, corrupt leadership, difficulty providing education (due to poverty or discrimination or other issues), and/or people who resist critical thinking (due to privilege or circumstance or what have you). we can criticize media trends without pulling a "well back in the GOOD OLD DAYS" about it.

Was driving with my grandmother and in broken English she says “no eyes… no nose… no face. Don’t trust.” To which I looked around wildly in search of this omen of ill portend.
yall ever lose interest in something so you stop seeking out content for it and your brain will be like. wow its so crazy that that thing used to be everywhere and then everyone stopped talking about it. so crazy that it fell off like that because nobody is talking about it on my personal curated social media and youtube algorithms. surely no other factors here.
in conversation about white people who go to Japan and expect their knowledge of anime to culturally carry them, I was once posed with “it’s like if there was a Japanese guy who was obsessed with spongebob and came over here and thought he could get by just communicating in spongebob quotes.” This is a false equivalence because if such a man existed we would crown him king. We’d love him. Americans would fucking love that. sometimes I get sad that this isn’t a real guy I can invite to a party.

GLaDOS voice: "Would you like to see some artwork I generated? I've heard from other test subjects that AI-generated artwork produces an uncanny valley response in human viewers because they can't perceive it as fully real. They've told me that it looks absolutely hideous to them, that they can't imagine anything more disgusting than AI art. But, well I've been practicing and wanted your honest opinion. Feel free to let me know how ugly you find this by ranking it on a scale from 'vomit-inducing' to 'eye-bleeding'."

My grandma just called and, among other things, said “You have hips. That’s good! Men like hips!” and then she interrupted herself to say “Women like hips. People of your preferred gender like hips. I can never remember”
And I was like “Thanks grandma! My preferred gender is none of them, no thanks.” and she was like “Okay, no one will comment on your hips!” very self satisfied, like “aha, I have figured it out”
I think like half her grandkids are some variety of not-straight and she can’t always remember which is which but she is the epitome of like “she’s a little confused, but she’s got the spirit!”
I told my grandma that I’d told my friends about what she said and that some of y’all had said you wished she was your grandma, and she said “Well, you can never have too many grandkids!”
So like…consider her your honorary grandma* I guess?
*if you want an honorary grandma, that is
Update on my grandma: I told her my hair was standing up, but instead of straight line it was diagonal and she said “That’s okay, you’ve never been straight!” and then laughed so hard at her own joke I thought she was going to drop the phone
