My general Madness of Random posts

If you don't care for another user's vibe or you really dislike a certain #shiptag, it is your responsibility to block the user and the tag.

You do not go into strangers' inboxes and bully, harass, or intimidate them about how they shouldn't be using the main fandom tag. That's toddler behavior. All of us, no matter what we ship, have a right to tag our posts and organize our blogs.

You are responsible for everything you see on Tumblr.

"Butbutbutbut this user doesn't tag their po—"

Block the user.

"This user ships something disgus—"

Block the user. And block the ship tag to remove the temptation to interact with it. Still interacting with things that upset you? Maybe it's time to talk to a parent or guardian about limiting your Internet access until you're mature enough to participate in online communities.

"Butbutbut I have to look at—"

No you don't. You literally don't. You are not a captive. Your eyelids are not held open. Tumblr gives you all the tools you need to prevent this. Use them.

"But I'm tired of crossovers showing up in my—"

Bock the crossover tags and filter for the offending fandom.

"But this person NEEDS to be run out of my fandom!"

This is the new flag, the old one was more vivid and in a z shape, but it's been made more neutral to be inclusive of people with seizures or sensory issues.

Each stripe represents a different aspect of disability:

Red: Physical disabilities

Yellow: Cognitive & intellectual disabilities

White: (And this is the key one I think) Invisible AND undiagnosed disabilities

Blue: Mental illnesses

Green: Sensory disabilities

So today I tripped. Fell flat on my face, it was awful but ultimately harmless. My service dog, however, is trained to go get an adult if I have a seizure, and he assumed this was a seizure (were training him to do more to care for me, but we didn’t learn I had epilepsy until a year after we got him)

I went after him after I had dusten off my jeans and my ego, and I found him trying to get the attention of a very annoyed woman. She was swatting him away and telling him to go away. So I feel like I need to make this heads up

If a service dog without a person approaches you, it means the person is down and in need of help

I honestly didn’t know that I was supposed to follow a service dog in a vest if it approached me by itself.

I do now.

So do you.

I will have to do 2 polls, as I got more colors than fit in one, so if you can't find yourself on Poll 1/2, that's why.

You can find the tropes as I interpret them;

🩷 Pink: aka the Heart. While Pink tends to get a leader role in magical girl shows, it's because they’re the heart of the team. They want the best for others, and that often means stepping up as a leader, showing the way with a smile where possible. Pinks will try to bring out the best in everyone, serving as an inspiration to them, even if they themselves can be a bit of a mess.

❤️ Red: aka the Passionate one. Be it quiet or loud, red magical girls have a passion in their hearts for what they want in life. Be it breaking a mold or reaching a goal. Breaking molds is often about perceptions of gender, but not always. They wear what they want and are secure in their gender identity. When it comes to a goal, they will go after it, sometimes making for a rival that will push both of you to do your best.

🧡Orange: aka the Spirited one. Orange combines the strengths of yellow and red, but with its own pitfalls. Having the level head of a yellow while the passion of red. If orange is into a sport, they likely excel at it, and if they're into fashion, they're the best dressed on their team. For orange, failure is not an option; if it were to happen, they might beat themselves up about it internally.

💛 Yellow: aka the Mediator. Often, the one who has their emotions figured out and uses their skills to help their team. Whether they are calm or energetic, you can always count on them. Even if they read as non-serious, they are cheerful most of the time, but can, in fact, be serious when needed.

💚 Green: aka the Chameleon of their team. Often overlooked, but can take on a plethora of roles depending on what their team needs. Being able to tap into both the energy of the warmer colors, or calm and intelligent like cool colors, or big sisterly and very “gender” as in shows both masculine and feminine traits in juxtaposition. People may sleep on green, but green will use that to their advantage.

🧩Turquoise: aka the Complex one. They don’t 100% fit the green or blue archetypes, and many people won’t understand them. Turquoise is both simultaneously critical and quietly positive. Often highly skilled and wanting to help others become better, which can come off as either positive or negative, depending on the one getting the feedback. But it all comes from a place of good intentions. Turquoise may have some anxiety about being misunderstood.

🩵 Cyan-Blue: aka the Lively one. They often have street smarts or are artistic. If there is danger, you can count on them to face the danger head-on. They will sometimes break the rules of conduct out of excitement. They may also be hiding a romantic side.

💙 Indigo-Blue: aka the Intellectual. Blues are known to possess intelligence book smarts, most often, but others as well. They will likely use their abilities to help develop a plan and, in some cases, serve as the team's technical expert. Indigo-Blues know proper manners, coming off as formal. But will always care for their team, even if they can be awkward in a casual setting.

💜 Purple: aka the Reserved one. The character can be a perfectionist and has talents to match. But they can be a bit of loner having spent so much time honing their craft. They will often care deeply about their team, sometimes taking on a big sister role. But could have trauma that makes it hard for them to emote and tell their team they care.

🖤Black: aka the Secret Keeper. Just like red, black is passionate, but unlike red, they may keep their passion and goals more secretive. They may have trouble showing their emotions and can hide behind a mask, but those emotions tend to run deep. Some blacks may have unresolved trauma, so they can be harder to befriend. But if you gain their trust, they will love you deeply.

🩶Grey: aka the Stoic one. Grey may seem cold and boring, but it's anything but. Grey magical girls will walk through the worst of circumstances for their friends. Trauma and self-sacrifice are nothing new to them. They may seem a bit numb, but they do it all for love.

🤍White: aka the Calm one. White tends to be more reserved and calmer. Having an elegance about them. They may prefer not to fight but will support their team. White is often intelligent, sharing that trope with blue. White may also be the healer of a team, keeping everyone well cared for, but may neglect themselves in favor of others.

🌈Rainbow: aka the Bold one. Rainbow is the bright and bold one on the team, trying to embody the best qualities of the rest of the team, as well as their faults. So they can end up stealing the stage, so to speak. Often not meaning anything bad by it, but can end up hurting others by accident because they're always the center of attention.

🤎 Brown: aka the Amazon. It’s a rarer color, sure, but if you find one, it will often symbolize strength and be connected to nature. Brown would rather do things the old-fashioned way than rely on new-fangled technology and use the old-fashioned tools they made themselves.

I've decided that since I got a few dresses left, we are doing the final vote now.
