Fract (they/them), 24 y-o. Main blog, reblogging a lot of random stuff (may contain nsfw!). Original posts are few and far between rn. Bleach runs in my blood by now but currently obsessed with TMA and trying to make it last
[Personal blog of @makitovalydia and @bleach-fanart-events]
Hi! I'm Fract (they/them), I'm a 22-y-o Bleach fan. I struggle getting stuff done in general so updates (on anything, really) may not be regular and if I go missing for months it's probably normal, I just have periods like that. That aside, I make art and write, although right now I'm working on a series and it's taking ages so don't expect chapters for that to come out any time soon. I may occasionally post shorter pieces of writing though, or discuss my worldbuilding and stuff like that. I reblog whatever I like, but have a couple of tags that have my name in them, so you can follow just those instead of following my blog if they interest you.
[2025] - No particular DNI, but I block very liberally. Minors, I don't care if you're here, just be aware that some of the people I reblog from have minors as DNI and that I cannot speak for them. Also know that I usually don't tag NSFW, whatever age you are.
Tag and Pages Guide
Featured Reblogs (#featured) -> Posts I particularly like if you don't want to wade through all my reblogs
Bleach (#bleach) -> Anything Bleach-related should be here
My Art (#fract art) -> Art made by me
Thoughts (#fract thoughts) -> Reflective posts that tend to be on the longer side. May be reblogs or original posts
Writing-Related Stuff (#fract writing) -> General tag for anything related to writing fiction (and sometimes reading)
Writing Thoughts (#writing thoughts) -> Me sharing moments of my writing journey
Fic Thoughts (#fic thoughts) -> Me sharing thoughts about fanfics I'm reading or reblogs about fanfiction in general
My Fics (#fract fics) -> Find my writing here
(22/11/2025 - For some reason my TMA song "I'm Here When You're Here All Alone" hasn't been showing up on my blog nor in general tags? Not sure why, but here it is, because I keep having to look for the post through other means: [link])
Lydia (OC) (#makitova lydia) -> Posts about my OC Lydia. Dw if you don't know who that is, I haven't written enough of her story yet
Personal Stuff (#fract personal) -> Me reblogging things I relate to or rambling about my life
Body Horror (#gore) -> Started tagging this so as to make it easier to avoid, but if you're looking for it, here it is. May be very, or be downright realistic mutilation or actual photos at times - I don't tag them differently because I didn't want to have to wonder whether every single post was disturbing enough to deserve it (just blood on its own isn't included though)
Resources (#fract resources) -> Things that are useful - writing tips, masterposts, tutorials, external links such as the online shops of artists, links to places to donate to charities or people in need of monetary help, useful information to know, etc.
Writing Resources (#writing resources) -> Writing tips etc.
Reading List (#my reading list) -> More for me than anyone. Works or longer posts I'd like to read or have read. Exists in part because I'd rather not put something I haven't read in 'featured', but also don't want to lose them, and they likely deserve attention too, so. Go there if you're looking for fics to read or longer things in general that aren't mine
Flight Rising Stuff (#fract flight rising) -> Mostly contains buttons I make for fluffmoth's Free Tiny Identity Buttons thread, which I currently host on here, and occasionally some other stuff too
(Note: I changed this tag recently from 'flight rising' to 'fract flight rising' to reflect the fact that most of what I use this tag for is to host images I make for myself and other users on the site - i.e., I don't make these posts with the intention of spreading them around. Just wanted to clarify that this was my own idea so people wouldn't think FR staff forced me to take the posts down or something, I dunno)
I also tend to tag fandom stuff with tags such as bleach, jjk, one piece, good omens, marvel (those are the main ones currently). And Bleach characters can have their own tags, so you can type in their first name for any fanart and the like that I've reblogged that feature them (except Harribel - she'll probably be under 'Harribel', not 'Tier' or 'Tia' - and Chad, who's under 'Chad').

Warm drink: Tea with three spoonfuls of sugar or six sweetners and a LOT of milk, it is more milk than tea at this point. I call it monstrosity tea because every person I know hates it other than kids under 13.
Alcohol: Too sensitive to bitterness, to the point of not being able to swallow certain red wines at all. So it's gonna be coq au vin lmao (i.e. lit. 'rooster with wine', in which the wine is cooked as part of the sauce, and hence no longer contains alcohol lol. Delicious though)
alcohol: i am not legally allowed to drink yet but there is this one specific type of shot my parents let me try when they got super drunk at a hotel in georgia(state). it was watermelon flavored i think and it was one of the first alcoholic drinks i had ever tried (i was pretty young for drinking) and i remember it tasted really good. note dont do underage drinking like i used to its not good.

ahh, wholesome long-haired argos.. (this drawing took me a while, being a perfectionist helped me a bit, i guess.?) also allsssoo im really really happy with how this turned out. (IF THIS FLOPS i will be really sad lowk)
love seeing revisionism in the wild “free the nipple never meant you can walk around topless every where that’s still sexual harassment it just meant for like breastfeeding and stuff”no it literally means you should be able to walk around topless anywhere because get this. breasts aren’t fucking sexual organs.
I remember when I was about 12, I watched a show on TLC that followed people as they got somewhat uncommon medical procedures.
There was one episode with a trans woman getting different gender-affirming operations, including breast implants. It showed the procedure, and (what I found so fascinating that it's stuck with me for decades), as soon as the doctor put the implant in, a censor blur popped up on the nipple.
And you just know there was a meeting between the TLC lawyers and the editors and producers of the show to discuss what the difference was between a "man nipple" (can be shown) and a "woman nipple" (no no must obscure, 'tis naughty). And they decided that as soon as the implant goes in and the nipple has more mass behind it, that's the moment when it becomes a woman's nipple and must be hidden to comply with TV rules.
But it's the same nipple. On the same person. I know what it looks like; I just saw it. But TV and obscenity rules are rules, and the rules say woman nipple = sexual and therefore explicit, but man nipple = neutral, just fine.
"Free the Nipple" was calling out arbitrary bullshit like that, because someone just existing with their body parts should not be considered obscene, and the double standard that men can be topless but women can't is so blatantly ridiculous. All nipples are just nipples. If you get turned on or bothered by them, that's on you.
But seriously though. Learning to draw fat people will make you a much better artist. Understanding how skin and fat behaves and folds in certain poses, and being able to adapt complex poses to fit a fat body (as usually references are with thin models) will help you TREMENDOUSLY. Drawing fat being properly affected by gravity will aid you in ALL figure drawing in the future. Like if you have any sort of interest in drawing humanoid figures (AND furries) you really ought to learn how to draw fat of all kind.

I'm working on a more simple, stylized version of my Clyde Perry, for use in short comics and bits in the future, and I think he is really cute at this stage in this WIP
Here he is next to my "painted" Clyde with more realistically accurate features.
(Also, my Clyde is 42 and my Easterman is the ROUGHEST 39 known to man. I believe that is accurate enough to what is contextually provided in canon.)
There's a fascinating phenomenon that isn't unique to tumblr, but which I have certainly seen here a lot, which I'm going to call the Default Assumption of Incompetence. It's when somebody has the baffling habit of always starting from the assumption that other people do not know anything about anything, or at least that having more knowledge than the assumer is extremely rare and statistically unlikely. To do this, they will frequently go out of their way to ignore context clues that indicate otherwise, or in some cases the assumer simply doesn't know enough about the subject at hand to be able to estimate whether or not this person knows what they are doing.
The assumer will see a social media post about someone's mushroom harvest, which clearly only contains exactly two distinct kinds of mushrooms, which the poster has identified and correctly named in the post itself, and the assumer will feel compelled to warn the forager to be careful out there! Some mushrooms are poisonous and they should be very careful to only pick ones they can identify! The assumer, who has ignored the fact that the poster did identify both of the mushroom species they had picked, and can most likely be trusted to do so in the future as well, has naturally assumed that the person showing off the results of their latest mushroom haul must have been obliviously picking them at random like an unsupervised toddler who is lucky to be alive.
If someone makes a post talking about how they just got a new job as a bus driver, the assumer might swoop in to warn them that driving a bus is extremely dangerous! It's so dangerous that it's literally illegal to do that unless you have a specific special training for doing that! Even a normal driver's license isn't good enough, you need a special license for it! And when the person who just got hired as a bus driver verifies that yes, they know that, they do have the license to drive a bus, and that they wouldn't have even hired someone who doesn't. The first question of the job interview was about making sure that they have a valid license for driving this type of vehicle.
"Well how was I supposed to know that?" is the assumer's standard answer to being corrected. Not embarrassed or apologetic, only defensive and insulted, as if the other person here is the one being unreasonably rude for implying that it was stupid of the assumer to assume that someone who just got a job driving a bus might not know how to drive a bus.
This kind of thing isn't necessarily about being arrogant and assuming that everyone else is stupid. It's about not assuming that everyone is smart and knowledgeable.
You see this a lot in tech support. Everybody hates those basic questions like "Have you tried turning it off and on again?" It feels ridiculous and condescending both to the person being asked and the person asking, and you honestly just want to skip it because surely nobody would bother calling tech support waiting without checking something so basic?
...and then you get that call. The one where you spend twenty minutes troubleshooting only to figure out that not only haven't they tried turning it on and off again, the device isn't even plugged in. After that, you always ask.
Somebody posts about picking mushrooms. Did they correctly identify the species? Or did they just get very, very lucky? Emergency rooms (and funeral homes) have seen a lot of people come through who were very confident in their mushroom identification skills.
I'm sure your bus driver example was intended to be an exaggerated strawman, because obviously nobody would hire someone to drive a bus without making sure they're qualified, right? You can totally just assume that from context clues.
Encounter this kind of thing enough times, and you stop assuming that people know what they're doing. Instead of getting offended that some stranger didn't automatically know how skilled you are, maybe take a moment to appreciate that they were looking out for you -- even if it wasn't necessary.
That's a valid point, but even coming from that perspective, I think it's still not a reasonable response. Someone stupid enough to go randomly picking mushrooms they don't know, has no idea that driving a bus requires a special training you can't just intuitively guess, or thinks they can just DIY electric installment stuff without at least checking beforehand whether they can do that, should simply die as the consequence of their actions.
So, tech support is very explicitly different in a very key way: they have asked for help.
The fact that someone, somewhere, has found a way to do things that make literally no sense, is not an argument for treating everybody like they're about to make the stupidest possible decision at all times.
The examples given were also very specifically about the explainers very clearly knowing less than the person they're talking to/at.
Not being able to discuss literally anything without being talked down to, leading to feeling the need to include giant paragraphs of asides that will get get ignored and/or picked apart, is *not fun*.
Sharing an experience in a social space is not a request for basic guidance on a topic you have in no way demonstrated any need for.
I think most people understand that if they responded that way irl chatting with someone they are vaguely friendly with, it would not go down well.
Now, I'm not usually one to encourage...tact. Like borderline lying about why you're saying something, but...In this case...
Like. Let's grab the mushroom example. If you're particularly concerned about that case in particular (obviously don't do this to everyone all the time that's an utter pain), you have a bunch of options that AREN'T implying the person is ignorant. Like so:
"OP knows what they're doing, but psa, for anyone else going mushroom hunting: make sure you can correctly identify mushrooms!! Eatable and poisonous mushrooms can look very alike"
Or better yet:
"Gosh, identifying mushrooms is so hard. I'd have to check twice before eating those, I often mix up with [name of other mushroom]."
Like. If in one case you ABSOLUTELY have to point something out. You can say it more politely, in a way that would make anyone unsure of themselves double check that they did the thing properly, but that anyone confident will just gloss over. Warn that it's a general mistake people make, or a mistake you would make, instead of implying you're worried OP specifically is not qualified to identify mushrooms properly - it's less personal and sounds like less of an attack.
(Although, I do absolutely agree with prev; if you weren't asked for help, it's better not to say anything. I swear I need more people to understand that, I know several people IRL who will criticize any artwork I show them and then argue that "well how can people improve if you don't tell them this stuff" when you point it out, even though you've explained three times over in the past year that you're showing them a work that's already finished, that you did not ask for help, and that IF THEY DON'T KNOW HOW TO FIX THE ISSUE THEY ARE POINTING OUT THEN WHAT IS THE POINT. I ALSO SEE THAT THE ARMS ARE TOO LONG JFC WE BOTH HAVE GOOD VISION.)
(Anyway, so yeah, I agree. But also, if you absolutely do feel like you need to make a remark, you -can- in fact have more tact than implying you are leads more competent than the person when they aren't visibly doing anything wrong)
There is nuance, and any social interactions can get complicated very quickly, but the core concept is imminently learnable.
At the very least, if you really really can't judge these things, it should mitigate the issue. People (IRL relationships) are far more tolerant of people who overstep occasionally than literally every interaction being painful. In public-ish online spaces the sheer number of potential commenters really weights it to Just Don't.
