xkit can't save you from this one. sorry.
Making reblog chains their own post is a fucking insane idea what is staff smoking. Removing core Tumblr features.
This is also going to make it harder to track where, how, and from whom, you are receiving harassment.
@Staff determined to make to make this website more like Twitter, despite people hating Twitter.

IRS free file sounds too good to be true to many US Americans, but it is in fact a Real Government Program that is for realsies Open To The Public.
You may soothe your Scammers' Paranoia by reminding yourself that in every other developed country on earth, no one 'does their taxes.' They get a fucking bill from the tax offices. This is a classic US American half assery.
But it's also NO COST TO ANYONE MAKING UNDER 50K. Reduced cost for the rest of y'all (like 20 bucks usually).
if you're going to make a ttrpg that emulates genre tropes- particularly if it advertises itself as 'creating [genre] stories'- it behooves you to have at least a passing familiarity with the most important entries in the genre
as in: if you make a magical girl ttrpg and you dont have the most influential work in the genre listed in your inspirations im not going to take your work very seriously
thats just the thing: this is about almost every single english language magical girl game i have ever encountered. this is about princess: the hopeful, this is about girl by moonlight, this is about starlight burnout, etc etc etc. just look at these inspiration lists:
there are seven listed inspirations here. of them, two are magical girl shows, in a game purporting to replicate the dynamics of the genre.
nine listed inspirations; two magical girl shows, one magical girl 'deconstruction' fic.
nine inspirations, three magical girl shows. noticing a pattern with which two shows get featured every time?
glitter hearts is the first to finally list a season of precure as an inspiration, so congratulations are i suppose in order. and no madoka, shockingly! anyway, you see the pattern- its very hard to take these games' claims of genre emulation very seriously when the level of engagement with the genre is so shallow. its kind of impossible not to link this with a general contempt amongst a lot of western audiences for magical girls. there's a sort of arrogance at play here, an assumption that there's really nothing to investigate- what's to understand? they're just stupid girl shows (except, of course, madoka magica, which is a Real show). you can do it much better than they can. and of course, you can just fall back on your own favourite (often western) media to fill any gaps. everyone wants what magical girls have, no one wants to watch magical girls!
That's exactly the problem.
A lot of people are wistfully nostalgic about Sailor Moon but allergic to touching any other mahou shoujo... especially works actually geared at young girls.
I totally get disliking PreCure, I don't like it either! Only the very first Futari wa Pretty Cure looks appealing to me. But, it's really not the only magical girl anime out there. You loved 90's Sailor Moon? The same cast went on to make the only shoujo demographic adaptation of Cutey Honey, Cutey Honey Flash! It's even in the same art style as Supers and Stars. (The original Cutey Honey of the 70's, while concieved as a girl's show to sell clothes-changing dolls, wound up only securing a late night time slot and was reworked into more of an ecchi show for older male viewers, although some young girls still enjoyed the stories! Go Nagai would later go on to make another mahou shoujo series, Majokko Tickle, for a shoujo demographic.)
You like idol anime and magical girls? Creamy Mami! Magical idol anime are their own genre too.
You mostly liked the filler expanding on the characters in the 90's? You liked the slice of life scenes best of all? You like bittersweet anime with elements that make you cry your heart out? Full Moon o Sagashite, about a 12 year old with terminal cancer who gets to be older with the help of the reapers tasked with claiming her soul in one year, which she learns in the very first episode... the manga a little more than the anime, as it goes more into depth into their lives and the soul reapers' past lives, but the anime expands on her idol career and has a different ending from the original author, so it feels true to the characters and satisfying.
You want to see a magical girl anime that's inspired by Sailor Moon, but Takeuchi Naoko also greatly enjoyed it and made fanart of it? Wedding Peach!
You want those early cute witch magical girls without any big enermies to face? Just dealing with everyday things? Marvelous Melmo (an orphaned girl gets the ability to change her age with the help of red and blue candies from Heaven given to her by her dead mother's spirit, but she also later learns she can shrink back into an undifferentiated zygote and turn into whatever creature she was thinking of beforehand! It's sex education for girls in the 70's, but with a lot of comedy and heart too), Sally the Witch (the original! .... I did not see this one, but it's inspired by the 60's show Bewitched!), Minky Momo (although, Minky Momo can get heavy sometimes, it's usually fun, about a princess from the land of dreams trying to bring her planet back in orbit because it's drifting away due to humans losing faith in their dreams... it's also the one where Shudo Takeshi, head writer of the Pokemon anime, famously gave a toy company that wanted to pull the plug on the successful anime that just wasn't selling toys, by having the first incarnation of Momo KILLED BY A TRUCK FULL OF TOYS... she revives in the same episode, but it sure was a loud and clear message... second Momo stars in her own season and is reborn as the biological daughter of the earth couple the first Momo brainwashed Chibiusa-style into believing they were her family.)
You like cute and colourful characters and care a lot about the environment and endangered animals? Tokyo Mew Mew! I didn't watch this one yet, but I really do wanna see the reboot and it was super popular back in the day. ^^ All the designs look so cute.
If you want more modern magical girl anime that are on the cute and chill side, but actually geared at girls and it's not just PreCure, Cocotama is full of magic and adventure, while being very cute... I caught some fun episodes with witches and dragons and quests, but also some Hamtaro-esque episodes where it's just the cute mascot characters navigating a much bigger world and interacting with each other, it's fun!
The sadly short Mewkledreamy (just two seasons, Mewkledreamy and Mewkledreamy Mix) from Sanrio is so sweet it'll give you cavities. A sleepy, kinda lazy, but good-hearted girl receives a sentient plush kitty from the land of dreams and must save people's dreams (so, in a way, kind of like Minky Momo!), while an equally adorable bunch of sentient plush kitties try to corrupt people's dreams and make them act more selfishly by exploiting their weaknesses (so, also kind of like Onegai My Melody--which is what Kuromi was created for!) The art is SO cute and this show seems popular with both male and female viewers, it has something for everyone! There is a magical boy too, later on. ;3;
The situation is so dire, I've bumped into multiple unconnected indie tabletop RPGs which purport to genre-blend magical girls with mecha whose authors had genuinely never heard of Magic Knight Rayearth.
not to derail the discussion but this is literally exactly what i am afraid of when writing BAD_DATA. my fanon universe was made INFINITELY better by interacting with folks from the digimon vrchat community who were able to "um actually" my lore facts, coincidentally causing me to completely reframe huge pieces of lore in this digimon fanon universe i'm writing. Like, maybe I could watch more actual digimon anime and use that as a reference point. I literally haven't interacted with any digimon media at all in years, aside from digimon story time stranger, and I worry that it will show in the framing of the universe. Granted, its fanon, not everything will connect completely, but I should still learn a little more about it before I jump as far headfirst as I have
I don't fully understand what the deal is, but I've noticed a lot of westerners seem to just... Fundamentally not understand Magical Girl shows or want to engage with it at all, even when people are purporting to engage with it It feels a larger issue than just TTRPGs. There was that terrible video essay on the genre getting dunked on a while back, where the person thought that "Creamy Mami" was some kind of sex pun. There are a number of western takes on the genre which often feel like they have small reference pools or are rooted in half-remembered episode of Sailor Moon. I am an artist, and occasionally I get Magical Girl OCs to draw, and they always try very very hard to be subversive in a way which seems to miss the point of the genre - A lot of edgy magical girls with glitter switchblades and depressed magical girls who are now adults and the like. It's all so like... What are you getting out of this genre? Can you not look at what is there, and seek an earnest expression of it? I feel like so many people want to like magical girls, but are irony-poisoned about it, and hold the idea of the genre at a distance out of some kind of embarrassment or contempt, only willing to engage with it in subversive edge or vague and nonspecific vibes

Jojo's Bizarre Adventure: Diamond is Unbreakable (2016)
"empathy is what makes us human" "art is what makes us human" wrong. what makes us human is the lack of penis bone
OP pls do me a huge favour and turn on 'other people can blaze this post' I wanna see if we can get ourselves a penis bone miracle
OH FUCK YEAH LETS SEE IF STAFF APPROVES HERE WE FUCKING GOOOOOOOOO
YEEEEEAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
harassment of black cosplayers has always been bad, literally every black cosplayer has received a racist comment or two online and irl but how is it getting fucking worse. Racists need to be curbstomped
And i dont just mean the white ones
When we as Black people discuss fandom racism it's not "fandom drama" because this shit is fucking serious.
Black people are constantly being bullied and harassed out of hobbies and social spaces for no reason other than being black and it's so frequently dismissed because people don't take racism seriously for some reason. I guess it's just expected for black people to be treated like bottom of the barrel subhuman scum
has YOUR favorite fictional woman over the age of 30 experienced fandom misogyny from people who are mad at Their Mom From Real Life? call our offices, toll-free, day or night. we're the nation's #1 law firm that specializes in defending adult women who make choices and have character traits. if the prosecution has started calling her a selfish bitch, pick up the phone today!!!
Excuse me, does your firm also represent women under thirty who experience fandom misogyny from people who are mad at That Girl From College/Work/High School?
we take those cases pro fucking bono
I’m envious you have an active fandom for your show about 30+ women.
i don't mean to be rude, but what fandoms are you in that have 0 adult women?
TBH I didn’t think this post through at all. People thought it was funny when I joked about fantasy settings that have no history, and joking about fandoms with no women seemed like a good way to repeat that. The only fandom I’m actually in has a few women who seem to be 30+.
If I try to back this up, though . . . Are there any recent Fire Emblem women who’re over 30 and aren’t centuries-old immortals? I looked up Emmeryn and she’s 25.
https://fireemblem.fandom.com/wiki/Reina
Well there's at least one. Fates is a decade old at this point but eh. Three Houses gave us Manuela who has no confirmed age but is probably over 30 and Catherine who gets to be over 30 after the timeskip. Engage may have "older" women but idk I didn't play that one.
man I just started feeling comfortable with posting my adult art on bsky, exploring some topics I think that are interesting and now they’re changing their guidelines to ban that stuff. okay
getting rid of the “bad” kinks first is just the opener to a whole palette of rules that end in the ban of all horniness. You can’t just expect them to ban the one thing you don’t like but leave the other stuff alone. they will come for your kink next
"come to mastodon", "come to pillowfort", "come to wafrn", "come to gobbleschmorg"
okay but what if I don't want to migrate to a new social media platform every 6 months? what if I don't want to start over again and again and again, every time some pearl clutching investors decide that sex is a no-no thing? what if I just want to be able to freely explore kinks and their underlying themes of intimacy, relationship and connection?

we need to invent a way to explain how deep running and pervasive and subliminal racism and antiblackness is without immediately sounding like an insane conspiracy theorist
female characters are always lighter than male characters. strong characters are almost always dark. aggressive characters are almost always dark. peaceful and intelligent characters are almost always light. even amongst darker characters the lightest one is usually either the leader or the girls. dark is evil and light is good.
if you try to explain this to a white person they look at you like youre insane
briefly pursuing a career in animation radicalized me on this. So many stories from the industry about how you have to start with your character design as dark as possible, because INEVITABLY you'll get "notes" from higher-ups asking you to make them lighter.
In a class about making a pitch bible my teacher once role-played as a shitty executive with a classmate, pressing them in intentionally abrasive ways about why they made their characters diverse. He emphasized that we had to learn to defend these things, because the racism in the industry is extremely deliberate.
*looks at books* too tired for you *looks at films* too tired for you *looks at art supplies* too tired for you *eyes fall on tumblr* oho ho
any thoughts about vivziepop's "Homestuck"?
You are not compelled to form any opinion about this matter before you, nor to disturb your peace of mind at all. Things in themselves have no power to extort a verdict from you.
— Aurelius, Marcus. Meditations. (trans. Maxwell Staniforth, Penguin Books, 1964)
hi i'm a girl with short hair and a husky voice and i'm sooooo cool i'm basically like a prince from a fairy tale! all the girls love me!!... but doesn't that kind of... suck? don't girls suck? don't girls who fangirl over other girls suck? isn't there a boy somewhere who can seemingly subvert gender roles with me but then in a shocking twist do something to make it apparent that he's inherently so much stronger than me because he's A Boy which makes me blush and swoon and fulfill my duty as A Girl? isn't there a boy who's brave enough to tell me... that it's okay to wear dresses?
my problem really deeply is how shallow a tolerance younger people have for old queer media. like yes, it's dated and some of the politics don't hold water anymore, but to ignore older media simply based on that is to loose EVERYTHING we have bc we don't have a lot. just because queer themes caught up more recently doesn't mean we should rehash everything to fit into a more "presentable" format that is only considered modern bc of the puritanical blacklash of the last several years and sanitization of queer themes.

happy pride month! 🌈
my country has legally banned this year's pride march so naturally i'm going to go for the first time in my life.
the event is still happening, but the organizers are threatened with jail time and participants with fines. additionally, the police are allowed to use facial recognition systems to identify participants. i can't even begin to tell you how dystopian all this is in a country where the healthcare system is on the brink of total collapse, where people have to choose between paying their bills or providing for their kids, a country that last year officially became the most corrupt member state of the EU.
but this is why we need pride. the ban sparked several protests and demonstrations and many people showed solidarity in these last few months. for us, this isn't just about banning pride. it's about threatening fundamental rights, the right of peaceful assembly and the freedom of expression.
with this little art i'm wishing you happy pride dear friends! keep us in your hearts. ❤️
Sees a piece of media has SungWon Cho in it: It's prozd! my friend prozd! we went to tumblr posts together
