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

As a society, we need to go back to understanding that strangers on the internet are, you know, strangers. I feel lately that I'm seeing a rise in 'An author I love blocked me because they took my comment the wrong way' posts on the ao3 subreddit, and then the comment is them calling the author a fucking bitch or something like that.
Don't do this. Tone doesn't translate well in text, and if you don't have a rapport with that author, they are not going to interpret, 'You're a fucking bitch' as, 'Author I hate you for being so talented and making me feel so keenly.' They're going to interpret it as you being an asshole. You can shit talk with your friends because you have an established relationship with them and can distinguish between playful banter and genuine anger. You do not have this with a stranger, no matter how much you like their fics. You will have a much more pleasant time in fandom and not get cockblocked from interacting with your favorite writers if you remember this.
#I don't often see comments like these when I'm reading a fic but there have been a few that made me raise an eyebrow#I don't know if I would block over someone calling me a bitch on a fic I wrote but I'd probs try to gently tell them it's not right#coz honestly I feel like this is an issue with younger age groups who are new to reading fics and might not understand fandom culture#or at least I hope it's younger people who simply don't know better 😬#otherwise... yikes
This isn't some esoteric niche aspect of fandom culture, strangers at the potluck also do not like being called a fucking bitch.
People in the comments like "you just need to add a /pos tone indicator to your comment!": strangers at the potluck do not like being told "You're a bitch!" with a smile and a thumbs up.
My dad was a public defender when I was a child and he would have to drive all over the district to visit various defendants in various jails which I thought was very interesting and I liked to hear about his experiences in various jails and how different they all were. He drove me to school every day and sometimes I’d skip in and tell my classmates “My dad is going to the jail in [TOWN/CITY] today!” mind you, I went to public school in a not very nice little town so my teacher’s first thought wasn’t lawyer, she had other students with incarcerated parents. This was also occurring in the south where everyone is nosy as fuck so she eventually called my mother, presumably to scope out why her husband was a jail bird and if the chargers were relevant to me and my education in any way. My mom had to explain that my dad wasn’t an inmate who kept getting transferred and that going to jail is his job.

forced caretaking as a trope i think is like cocaine to people who know they need to be taken care of but have mental blocks in the way like yeah please do gently force me into a state of vulnerability so my body learns it is a safe thing to feel around you
This has gotta be a hit with the girlies who have always wanted something terrible to happen to them just so people realize they're in more misery than their outward appearance lets on
Just watched Adam Conover (of Adam Ruins Everything) make such a solid point that I think we should spread far and wide. Yes, having AI write your emails is lazy, sure, but people love being lazy. We need to really emphasize that sending AI emails (or using AI responses on social media, or publishing AI flyers, or or or) is rude.
It's rude. You're making someone take their time to read something you couldn't bother to write. You're telling them they were so unimportant you couldn't be bothered to actually take the time to say something yourself. And frankly, you're lying about it while you're at it.
what the medicine packaging says: "new and improved orange flavour!"
what I expected: orange juice
what I got: the taste of your parents just told you they're getting divorced, and your mum said she was taking you out for ice cream after but she actually took you to the "healthy" frozen yoghurt place and would only let you order the non-dairy orange cream soda flavour

Side note: polonium-210 is a very dangerous isotope, however it "does not pose a radiation hazard when kept outside the body", as the alpha particle it emits have very little penetration power and cannot pierce even the outer layers of dead skin. It has still killed countless people, though, not because of children's rings, but because of tobacco. Polonium latches onto and concentrates in tobacco leaves, leading to heavy smokers being exposed to more radiation than survivors of the Chernobyl disaster.
It's always wild to me seeing comments about different toxins like this on information about random things in the past, but it's never discussed when it comes to cigarettes.

Transphobia is about to be signed into law in the UK. We can fight this.
I am begging the UK trans community and its allies to attend the Mass Lobby at Parliament on June 25th, 11am-4pm, organised by Trans Solidarity Alliance.
Last year we broke the record for an LGBT+ mass lobby of Parliament. Will you help us break it again? Join us on 25th June 2026 to demand be
The new EHRC Code of Practice pushes trans people out of toilets, hospital wards, and community spaces. It normalises gender policing based on appearance and stereotypes. It becomes statutory guidance in the UK by the end of June.
Trans people are now legally their assigned gender at birth and must join gendered spaces accordingly, but if they are perceived as their lived gender, they can also be ejected from those spaces. The guidance says: either break the law, or don’t pass too well.
A mass lobby is where you invite your MP to discuss your concerns with you in-person. Ask your MP to:
Demand full parliamentary scrutiny, debate, and use their free vote on the EHRC Code of Practice.
Support any motions rejecting the EHRC guidance. As of June 4th, Labour MP Nadia Whittome has submitted a prayer motion - Early Day Motion 240.
Write to Bridget Phillipson, the Minister for Women and Equalities about our concerns
Your MP does not have to be an ally, they do not have to respond to your email for you to show up and greencard them (details below the cut.) What matters is that as many people as possible show up.
I cannot stress this enough: Showing up in person matters. It is much more effective than petitions, emails, and letters.
It is a horrible, stressful time, and I am so sorry if you're trans and live in the UK. But I was at last year's mass lobby and the line for greencarding alone stretched around the back gates. It was a record breaking mass lobby and made us impossible to ignore. Let's do even better this time. Details under the cut:
Worried about what to say?
Bring your personal worries about transphobia being signed into law, and trans friends being excluded from public spaces. You are a living person who deserves dignity. Remind your MP of that. You will also get guidance and brochures from Trans Solidarity Alliance that outlines our demands. This is mine from last year.
Money issues?
Trans Solidarity Alliance provides a travel bursary that you can sign up for via the link.
Got a refusal or no response from your MP?
Come anyway! You can request a same-day appointment with your MP through a process called greencarding. They will come and see you if they’re already in Parliament. Even if they don’t, they’re made acutely aware of your cause because you showed up in person. This is my greencard from last year.
Here is the EHRC Code of Practice in full. It's a tough read, but some highlights are:
Organisations can’t provide trans-inclusive, single-sex services, or they risk being sued for discrimination.
e.g. domestic violence support for women including trans women, men’s rugby group including trans men (12.68).
Trans people will have nowhere safe to pee.
If you’re a trans man, businesses can't allow you to pee in the men's, and you can also be ejected from women’s bathrooms if you’re perceived as a man. Vice versa for trans women. EHRC suggests a ‘third space’ bathroom, which is discriminatory and unworkable for most businesses. (13.130-133)
Sports organisations must exclude trans people from single-sex competitions (13.73).
A women’s only sports competition must exclude trans women because of their biological advantage or face potential lawsuits (13.74), but a trans man who has undergone testosterone treatment can also be excluded based on fairness rules (13.81).
Trans women are stripped of the legal definition of ‘lesbian’, and therefore no longer have legal protections if they’re discriminated against on the basis of sexual orientation. (2.50, 2.92).
Here is the Good Law Project's better explanation of the EHRC Code.
I have also made a PDF printout of QR codes for the government petition, email your MP tool, and mass lobby link to pass around your communities. DM me and I'll send it to you.
