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

i understand that it's unreasonable to expect a band on world tour to play in every country in the world but i do think they should only be allowed to call it a world tour if they play in every continent. we need to make it embarrassing to say world tour and then not even step foot in africa
i do understand the appeal of reaction videos because in a way it simulates the experience of showing your friend a thing you like and watching them laugh at all the funny moments. and you get to go haha yeah i knew youd laugh at that part. i feel so correct about liking this. feed my ego mr freeman.

So! This is a perfect case study in situations where you should be wary of misinformation.
Take a moment and ask yourself, a project like this requires a lot of time, money and dedication of resources, why would scientists dedicate that time to something that could just be done by a tree?
The answer is they wouldn't. So that means this claim requires further investigation!
This project is called LIQUID 3, and it's not meant for cities with wide open spaces, it's meant for cities like Belgrade in Serbia. These cities are densely populated and heavily polluted, to the point where pollution actually chokes out current trees and makes creating green spaces difficult.
Liquid 3 was a PhD scientists answer to these problems. The microalgae tank is intended for spaces where you either:
Don't have enough space to plant full trees, or
Don't have enough time to plant trees and wait for them to grow up.
The tank is extremely efficient when you consider the amount of space needed compared to the amount of CO2 turned into oxygen. The tank can operate throughout the winter. And most importantly, it can be quickly set up in areas that desperately need relief from air pollution NOW not in 10 years when trees are done growing. Children currently suffocating on polluted air can't wait for trees to grow, they need to be taken care of now, and Liquid 3 is one of the ways to take care of them. Depending on the species of microalgea used, a number have shown a pretty amazing capacity to pull heavy metals out of the air which is something trees can get choked up by.
The tanks aren't just tanks either! Liquid 3 have solar panels placed on top, they have lighting and mobile phone charging, and they work as public benches. The designers of it want to encourage green spaces where there's room, but where there isn't room or time, Liquid 3 can step in. Realistically, this isn't a replacement for trees. It's replacing boring metal city benches with new, cooler benches that also clean the air (and have at least some heating during the winter).
Not only that, but the microalgea that grows is native to Serbia and all that microalgea has a ton of great uses! It makes for great fertilizer, compost, wastewater treatment, cleaner biofuels and even for helping create new tanks for further air purification. They only require a quick algae divide once a month, and the produced algae can be carted off to where ever it's needed. This makes them effective solutions for areas that can't sustain complex installations.
So yeah, there's actually quite a lot of places that would like these. Lots of people currently breathing in terrible quality air would much rather have their boring city benches replaced with really fucking cool algae tanks that clean the air and can be used to help create + sustain future green spaces in cities. I dunno about you, but I'd take that over a dumb metal bench any day. Put these at every bus stop and I'd be delighted.

Do not ever be rude or condescending to someone who asks "obvious" questions, no matter how obvious or silly you think the question is.
For one, in some cultures asking an obvious question is just a polite way of acknowledging the situation. So for example, if you just put your jacket on and start clocking out, a co-worker asking "oh, you done for the day and heading out now?" doesn't deserve you sneering at them like an idiot, scoffing, and saying "uh duh, just like I do every day at this time" when it's likely they knew the answer, but were just asking as a polite way of acknowledging the situation.
But even if they were genuinely unsure that you're leaving even though it seems obvious to you from context clues, so what? What does being rude and condescending to them achieve? Maybe they couldn't sleep last night so they're really out of it today, maybe they're dissociating, maybe they're about to pass out from low blood sugar, maybe some other employees sometimes put on their jacket and only clock out briefly but come back.
There's all sorts of reasons they could be confused about whether or not you're leaving, but intentionally making them feel bad achieves nothing except, well, making them feel bad. Either way, they're not hurting you or anyone by asking a "stupid" question, so there's no point in being rude about it. If you still want to make them feel bad about themselves for looking "stupid" when they weren't hurting anyone, that is the mindset of bullies and abusers.
Thank you everyone who is pointing out in the notes that this is usually an attempt to connect with someone and/or strike up a conversation. Because honestly in my experience 9 times out of 10 when someone asks an "obvious" question that's what they're trying to do. If someone walks into the kitchen and asks "oh are you cooking?" while you're standing over the stove holding a spatula, they probably already know the answer, but they're just trying to start a conversation with you and connect to you.
All the more reason it's sad and hurtful when these attempts are met with sneering and being treated like an idiot.
There are no stupid questions, only assholes providing snarky non-answers. Because aside from the bid for connection or genuine confusion, sometimes there are REASONS why you might get an obvious question.
“Oh, are you cooking?” asks person who thought you were going out tonight.
“Are you leaving?” asks time-blind person who’s surprised it’s 5:00.
“Are you going to lunch?” asks person who remembers there’s a meeting in 30 minutes.
This is where I make my occasional reminder that Emily Post said the reason for manners is to make others comfortable and foster kind, thoughtful human interactions.
they won't tell you this in therapy but sometimes the best way to stop catastrophizing/anxiety is to interrupt your spiraling with "girl what the hell are you talking about"

the libertarian fantasy of safety regulations existing due to sadistic enjoyment of government officials oppressing the innocent small business is kind of hilarious the more you think about it. I hope there is actually a guy out there who just fucking LOVES recalling unsafe food in a sicko sort of way. i'd respect him.
