picking up where I left off
Again, in case some of you missed it. This ^ is my new tumblr account. Starting from scratch, but keeping things pretty much the same :) I already followed the people I followed on here with the new account. Please do not be confused by the lack of Sherlock in my header. My Engineer has stolen my heart, but Iāll continue to post the usual things as well. xx
picking up where I left off
okay, this is going to be my new tumblr account. Pretty much the same. So please follow this one :) Iāll follow everyone I follow on here and will keep this account active to keep my archive etc. Letās hope the search issue will be resolved that way.
I wondered why my tags donāt show up in the tag search, and found out that neither does my blog?! I guess the algorithms are filtering most of my account out of all searches, except for a couple of mentions from back in the day?
I guess itās due to the great purge, but itās frustrating, as Iām pretty much sitting here alone, screaming about My Engineer and only my lovely followers hear about it. Not sure whether I should make a new tumblr just for that? Start fresh? Because it means that pretty much everything else also gets filtered out, so itāll be impossible to have any kind of traction outside of the bubble this blog has existed in for 9 years?
Like, I cannot even search my own tags - Tumblr just tells me that there arenāt any.
I also fanarted for the first time in a million years XD This was a very late night drawing in response to a comment someone left me on a chapter, saying: āTalking to plants is good, talking to Ram is betterā and this is where my brain went.
I just love King so much. Heās ridiculous and the best and heās so stupid because he talks all the time but when it comes to Ram he either says completely ridiculous things or waxes poetically about the state of humankind, but he never tells him how he feels and itās killing me his plants!

I JUST learned that this shirt cost them $10,000 to put into this movie⦠but they refused to compromise because they were like: heās the hugest Golden Girls fan⦠this has to make the movie⦠so they paid $10,000 to use Bea Arthurās likeness on this shirt⦠ Ryan Reynolds, youāre doing Deadpool so right.
They traded all the guns in the final climactic showdown for Bea Arthurās face. Worth it.
Reynolds paid it himself, out of pocket. It didnāt come from the budget. He talked with Beaās sons and they agreed to it for a donation to Beaās favorite charity. āŗļø
I did not know that. Thatās so much better than I could have imagined.
The Ali Forney Center opened its new LGBTQ youth homeless residence ā the Bea Arthur Residence. In attendance for he opening of the 18-roo
(From Deadpool 2.)
oml this is surprisingly wholesome
I finished watching My Engineer 5 weeks ago ...
And I have already written 50k words of fanfic for it. This is WILD.
This will always be my favorite gifset. Ever.
im morally obligated to reblog this every time i see it
ITāS BAAAAAACK

I keep thinking about Nicky being the most chill Catholic in the world because the Crusaders were promised total cleansing of ALL their sins, even those in the future, if they joined the Crusades and Iām thinking of Nicky still being smug about this in the face of homophobes a thousand years later because his soul is Teflon thanks to a Papal loophole, nope, thank you very much but I literally canāt go to Hell for loving my beautiful Muslim boyfriend, the Pope said so
IMAGINE HAVING A PLENARY INDULGENCE AND ALL OF TIME TO USE IT
Apparently thereās a My Engineer Photo Book and I only joined the fandom like yesterday, so I missed the order by date.
The deadline to order was June 30 and I started watching in July and I am so sad. I just hope people will post the pictures on social media so we can see them, too!
2020 for me has just been "am I stressed because of a global pandemic and an increasingly fascist far-right government, or am I just struggling to exist under capitalism" and I'm really getting tired of it

Poyās giggles made me so happy. Despite the obvious discomfort of having his eye hurt and having to perform that way, the way he made everyone crack up was just so sweet.
people talk all the time about āprimal instinctsā and itās usually about violence or sexual temptations or something, but your humanity comes with a lot of different stuff that we do without really thinking about, that we do without being told to or prompted to
your average human comes pre-installed with instincts to:
Befriend
Tell story
Make Thing
Investigate
Share knowledge
Laugh
Sing
Dance
Empathize with
Create
we are chalk full of survival instincts that revolve around connecting to others (dog-shaped others, robot-shaped, sometimes even plant-shaped) and making things with our hands
your primal instincts are not bathed in blood- they are layered in people telling stories to each other around a fire over and over and putting devices together through trial and error over and over and reaching for someone and something every moment of the way
~āYour primal instincts are not bathed in blood.ā
My god this is beautiful. Such a refreshing change of pace to the constant glorification of instinctual human violence.
I would add āprotect loved onesā to this list.

This had such good meme potential I couldnāt resist
I'm a writer who is fine with receiving critical comments even when I didn't remember specifically say so. Some other writers don't want to receive critical comments. That's fine. No unsolicited crit is not a universal norm, so any writer who cares a lot about whether they get critical comments should say so, whether that's saying please do or please don't.
You know, Iāve got a fourteen-year-old nephew who plays the violin.
Heās been playing it since fifth grade, and heās going to be a freshman in high school next year. Heās at that age where boys are usually fucking assholes. Worse than that, heās a nerdy boy, whoās into a whole slew of geeky things, which means he could so very easily fall prey to the Nice Guy attitude, but he doesnāt.
Heās a good kid. But because heās so much like me, and has been influenced heavily by me his entire life, heās a bit of a perfectionist.
On Monday, we went to an open house for parents for the high school heās hoping to get into this coming year, and they had their orchestra playing. After their performance, as we were walking to the next section of the tour, he reiterated a point that Iāve heard him voice a few times before.
Itās hard for him to just sit there and listen to other people play the violin now. When heās listening to the performance, all he can hear are the missed notes or if someone is scratchy or off-key or if theyāre a beat ahead or a beat behind, etc.Ā
He isnāt some virtuoso by any means, heās just a fourteen-year-old that plays the violin, yet because he studies it, he automatically mentally critiques the performance.
I think we, as writers, can all relate to that. No matter how well we write ourselves, by being in this arena, we are automatically more sensitive to the mistakes others make. In fact, you donāt even have to be a writer; those who read regularly are prone to the same thing.
The thing is, though,Ā I didnāt have to tell my nephew not to mock the students who were performing at the open house. I didnāt have to tell him not to criticize them or make fun of them, I didnāt have to tell him to lower his voice so they wouldnāt hear, and I definitely didnāt have to stop him from going up to them to criticize their performances to their face. It was something that was automatically understood; those things are impolite, and should he engage in any of those behaviors, heād get in trouble for them.
And hereās the really important bit. Are you ready?Ā
Not a single one of those amateur performers had to preface that performance by saying,Ā āPlease donāt.āĀ
It was just automatically understood that their audienceĀ wouldnāt, because itās not a thing you do in polite society when you are given something for freeĀ by people who are not professionals. Especially whenāthis is also an important bitāyou are also not a professional critic in any shape, form, or fashion.
My nephew waited until weād walked away from the orchestra, where they werenāt in danger of hearing before he even began to discuss the very broad conceptĀ of how he critiques performances now because heās in orchestra.
Somehow, without me having to drill it into his head countless times, this fourteen-year-old boy grasps the concept that you should not go up to someone, out of the blue, and criticize their performance just because you heard (or in the case of a writer: saw) their mistakes. He isnāt a professional, nor is he a teacher. He hasnāt been asked, heās still learning himself, and they donāt know him from Adam.Ā
On a fundamental level, he seems to get how entirely unhelpful his critique would be, and how the only thing heās succeeding in doing is hurting someoneās feelings for no good reason.
I just think itās funny how a fourteen-year-old understands that, but somehow, you donāt.
Here are my 2 cents. Iāve done fandom and Iāve been published and Iām a book blogger.Ā
Publishing is a different world. Youāll get the fuck critiqued out of your books. By book bloggers, by ppl on Goodreads, by trade reviewers maybe. Iāve gotten some fucking amazing reviews and Iāve been EVISCERATED. The first review I ever got EVER for my very first published book was from Publisherās Weekly ā not even a reader ā and they took me to fucking town. I cried for days. But thatās the nature of that space.Ā
I had to develop thicker skin in order to continue publishing. I had to learn where not to look. Thereās a completely different culture in publishing: reviewer spaces are NOT for authors. They are for readers and reviewers because there is a FINANCIAL investment. Should someone buy a book? Are you on the fence? And while I do NOT support reviews that are damaging or bigoted etc. I understand. IāmĀ a book blogger too, I review books. I have a policy never to tear down a book. If I ever give a negative review itās because thereās something really concerning there (one which glorified rape culture for example). Otherwise I try to stay constructive and honest. Personally, I try to always find at least one positive thing to put in a review. But my JOB (ahahah which I do for free) as a book reviewer is to talk to ppl about something they might BUY.Ā
Fandom is TOTALLY different. Fandom is a passion project and gift culture.Ā
FANDOM IS GIFT CULTURE.Ā
You should not have to ask ppl not to criticize you. If someone asks or SEEKS advice and says that, go for it. Go for it kindly and constructively for the love of god, but otherwise NO. Fan artists of all kinds are offering something from the heart, for free, because they love it. Thatās why postive comments are so important to creators. It keeps them going, it solidifies their investment in the community aspect of fandom creation. It makes community.Ā
