It gives a lovely light.

2026 - 2025 - 2024 - 2023

in spite of it all, happy 2026 pride.

you can download current and past hi-res versions of these over at my ko-fi (ok to print for personal use): https://ko-fi.com/mxmorgan/shop/freedownloads

you can also snag shirts here which go to various orgs: https://mxmorgan.threadless.com/collections/pride

these get reposted a whole lot from here to reddit to twitter to tiktok and on and on, and i don't personally care whether or not i'm credited. i made these for everyone to use, enjoy, and find meaning in them. i appreciate folks who do credit me, but if able, please at least link to the threadless shop in the previous post - folks can get an official shirt where 90% of earnings go to trans led orgs focused on mental health (which is an important matter in general, but very personal to me) and not from a scam bot site selling AI-churned maga garbage where you probably won't get one anyway. i also suggest downloading the files from my ko-fi - they are free/PWYW and you can use them to make your own shirt, patch, embroidery project, whatever. tips are always nice, cuz i do like a pizza now and then, but never required for download.

The blorbo you can look to in hard times, and ask yourself what they would do in a situation, and draw motivation from them on how to be better and stronger!

The problem is that, due also to being a professional hater, whenever he encounters something he doesn't understand, he has a tendency to simply immediately denounce it as 'absurd' or 'stupid', or simply 'incomprehensible', without updating his mental model or trying to figure out if there's something he's missing.

He's the guy who thinks he already knows better than anyone else - the one who doesn't hesitate for a second to call a character's actions 'OOC' even when the author himself says otherwise. Who doesn't hesitate to declare that he understands a character better than even the author does. And he's not entirely wrong (at least, when it comes to Luo Binghe and PIDW as a whole), but he's also unbelievably stubborn and has shut off his brain to any possibility of new development. He's also the guy who says that a character is acting 'OOC' after an extended period of thematic improvement and growth, because he doesn't like the fact that the story has gone in this direction but only knows how to express his opinions as objective fact.

He's intelligent, and loves to learn when it comes to certain subjects of interest (mainly monsters), but when it comes to other people, he's destructively incurious. If someone acts in a way he didn't expect from them - such as Luo Binghe openly flirting with him, or Liu Qingge acting protective, or either expressing anger when he gets too close to the other - he picks up on it immediately, and remarks on in inwardly, and then... immediately dismisses it. It's just 'strange behaviour', that's all. People behaving 'against their interests'. It's all just part of this ridiculous world Shen Yuan has been unceremoniously shoved into, and he can't possibly be expected to understand it all, right? It was all merely badly-written lowest-common-denominator porn, anyway. It is simply Not That Deep.

(And well: obviously this is all also a very good way to avoid confronting anything he might ever not wish to acknowledge. In the broad sense, that thing is 'I might sometimes be wrong about PIDW'. But more specifically... it is much easier simply to complain that Luo Binghe is messing things up for no reason than to acknowledge that he might be a little less straight than Shen Yuan believes him to be, or that Shen Yuan might not entirely mind when he makes these 'mistakes'.)

yess exactly, I think Shen Yuan’s biggest issue is that he is actually very smart (particularly with lateral/creative thinking, but analytically too!) and can be very good at reading people! but as soon as the reading has anything to do with himself those skills fall apart. Because this is a deeply closeted man who spent years in parts of the internet where being a real human being and not Ideal Man is cause to be mocked if not outright kicked out. So Shen Yuan, a notoriously adaptable person, has adapted so well to that environment that he becomes allergic to showing or admitting any vulnerability or emotion.

But Shen Yuan is good at reading people! He can tell when Luo Binghe is being manipulative and lying, but often flounders when it’s directed at him because he can’t admit to being weak to the spots Luo Binghe pokes at. He figures out Tianlang-jun almost immediately, and continues to suspect that Tianlang-jun is just heartbroken over Su Xiyan even while Tianlang-jun gives him a pretty good runaround of pretending not to care. He’s able to call out red flags in people’s stories—Qiu Haitang and Wu Chen, specifically—as being suspicious. He even knows almost immediately on meeting Yue Qingyuan that there is something deeper behind his relationship with Shen Jiu that never made it onto the page.

Sound on.

I love the friends part 2

時は過ぎざり、巡り合う

We’re making a big change to how account deletion works on Tumblr, and we’re really excited about it, because this is something that some of you have been requesting for… well… a literal decade.

Before today, when you deleted your Tumblr account, it was immediate and permanent. Occasionally, this resulted in Very Sad Times. Even though we’ve tried to make it super difficult to accidentally delete your account, this is something that still happens a lot. Like, a lot. There’s also plenty of folks who delete their account on purpose, but then regret it shortly afterward. Worst of all, if your account was hacked, and then deleted by the hacker, there was no way to get it back. 

All of these problems are *poof* no more. As of today, when you delete your account, we will keep your data for 30 days. Your account will remain recoverable during that time, and you can contact us within that 30 day window if you’d like us to restore your account.

Eventually, we hope to make this process a bit easier, and allow you to restore your account with a single click of a button. For right now, though, you’ll need to contact us via tumblr.com/support and choose the category “Account Access” > “I have deleted my account or blog by accident”. 

FAQs

How do I delete my account? Does that process look different now?

You can follow the steps here to delete your account on the web or through the mobile app, which works pretty much the same way as before. You’ll notice we’ve updated the confirmation screen to reflect the new process, though.

Does a deleted account still appear on Tumblr during this 30 day window?

Nope. As soon as you submit the request to delete your account, all of your blogs will no longer be accessible (they’ll 404), no one will be able to message you, your posts will no longer appear in search results, and you won’t be able to log in anymore. This happens right away, not 30 days later. Deleted accounts still behave exactly as they always have.

What about my email address and username? Will those become available again immediately after account deletion, like they did before?

Notably, no, they will not. In order to make it possible for the account to be restored during the 30 day window, the username and email address must remain associated with the account during that time. So they won’t be available to register again until 30 days after you’ve deleted your account.

If you’re deleting your account, and you already know that you’d like to use the same username or email address on a new account immediately afterward, we recommend that you change your username and email address before deleting the account. That way, they will become available right away, instead of being on hold for 30 days. 

What if I’ve accidentally deleted one of my sideblogs, but not my entire account?

If you delete a sideblog, it will be deleted right away, and cannot be restored. We can only restore an entire account (which will restore all of its blogs along with it). 

Is this feature retroactive? Can you restore the account I deleted two years ago?

As much as we would like this to be possible, the answer is no. We still haven’t perfected the art of time travel, so all accounts deleted before today are still deleted for good. This new change will only apply to accounts which are deleted after this announcement is posted.

Where can I learn more about the account deletion process?
