call me mercury! they/them :)!!
ill customise my blog eventually (maybe) (...probably not)
i will be mainly posting whump, but you may see some other stuff too! personal or otherwise
my blog for uni stuff is @mxcurystudies
i figured i should finally make one of these, so, hi!! i go by mercury on here. they/them please and thanks!! im 18.
i've been on tumblr since ~2020 but not actively for a couple years now. i'm a long-time lurker of whumpblr but this is my first time posting in the space!! :)
this is my main, and its primarily for whump-related content but there'll also be general writing content & some personal stuff. im AuDHD and chronically ill which sometimes i project onto the whump content i make.
i love interacting with people on here so please feel free to send asks or dm me!! <3 i may not always reply immediately (cough cough. social anxiety) but im always excited to talk to people on here.
in terms of whump, i do a lot of reblogging but post my own stuff too. while i do intend on staying consistent with both (key word intend), reblogging will definitely be more reliably consistent. mostly, i make posts and prompts about diff whump scenarios. feel free to use any prompts etc of mine as inspo for ur writing, but please tag me if you do bc i would LOVE to read them!!
i also write some drabbles and make oc content! :) the most common ocs you'll see around here are fen and juniper, my living weapon characters. theres no official drabbles of my ocs on here yet but i do want to do that in the future.
my favourite tropes:
hurt/comfort
angst (obviously)
living weapon whumpees
caretaking and recovery (particularly the rocky parts of recovery, lol)
found family (especially when its a gruff caretaker that sorta becomes a parental figure to whumpee!)
intimate whumpers
dehumanisation whump
hero & villain whump (i dont write it very much, but i want to in future!)
pet whump
this is absolutely not an exhaustive list - i like a lot of things!!
things you won't see:
super explicit stuff. i might reblog or even post about whump with suggestive or noncon elements, but it wont be a main focus of this blog. if nsfw stuff does come up, its likely it'll be through a trauma-focused lens and i dont think ill be writing anything super graphic/explicit. ill make sure to tag nsfwhump, implied noncon & noncon when i think it applies, including in rbs.
anything ai generated: everything i post is mine and mine alone. just because i use em dashes and the oxford comma sometimes doesnt mean its not mine. im anti generative ai and i hate how its affecting creative spaces. if i accidentally reblog anything that's ai, it was unintentional and please dm me/send an ask to let me know so i can remove it!!
common tags:
#character tag: fen (for anything to do with my living weapon oc, fen)
#character tag: juniper (for anything to do with my kid living weapon oc, juniper!)
#mercury's stuff (for any of my original whump/writing-related posts)
#mercury learns to draw (for anything drawing-related)
final notes:
i am pro palestine
i'm very much pro-choice
anti ai
i will not tolerate racism/homophobia/transphobia/bigotry in general
ill do my best to tag posts and rbs with tws/cws when needed but i might miss things or forget! let me know if you want me to tag certain triggers that i dont already.
this shouldnt need to be said, but: i do not condone the morally dubious stuff i post/rb on here. depicting things like abuse, torture, etc does not mean i think they are good things or think they should be practiced in real life. putting characters through terrible experiences & exploring toxic or abusive character dynamics in fiction is not a new concept!
i appreciate when people are clear/direct with me and can sometimes struggle to work out intent or reliably pick up on subtext. im doing my best!
this post will probably get updated and edited a million times cause im for sure forgetting stuff i want to say

trying to get @aspec-ocs going again for pride 2026 so everybody tag me in (described) art or writing or posts about your aspec ocs (does not necessarily have to be about them being aspec) so I can reblog it to there
[ID: A picture of the progress pride flag. The chevron with the stripes for trans people and people of color, as well as the intersex flag, have been replaced with the Tumblr "This content has been removed for violating Tumblr's Community Guidelines." /End ID]
Like. Preaching to the choir here but in Brazil, as of 2026 it is illegal to use neutral pronouns in official speeches (article in portuguese, you need a page translator on) or in any other instance by the government.
Sometimes I go and question someone about something and their reasoning for why something is right or wrong is "because it's the law, duh" like. Are we really really fucking serious here?

im altogether so pleased with how my art has been going in the couple of weeks since i got back to drawing and omg if you showed me from last december my most recent few drawings, they would FREAK!!! and also probably not believe that not only do they start learning to draw, they keep going with it and they're getting undeniably better!!
but also oh dear lord every time i try to draw something that isnt a front angle headshot i get painfully reminded that i dont know wtf im doing. but its OKAY!! i will continue to practice and learn :D

i regularly crack my collarbones by pulling my shoulders downwards. its typically quite a loud and notable crack. ive asked a few ppl irl and gotten mostly confused no's.
dear god i am trying to draw my friend's oc (said oc is the partner of the oc of mine that i posted yesterday) and i think i am going insane because neither of us have a strong idea of what her features look like and shes very bad at describing her to me. i have been drawing variations of a nose for like 2 hours atp oh my GOD
to be real my brain and eyes hurt and i cant even tell what this looks like anymore BUT IM PRETTY SURE ITS GOOD. it took me way too long but i think its the best drawing ive done so far ?
when i started drawing her she was NOT supposed to be this detailed but uhhhh. well!! this is how she turned out!! i meant to draw her in a similar style to when i drew her partner (my oc, whomst i posted my drawing of a few days ago) but she just. evolved! somehow! i had fun but also ough omfg my brain is fried. my eyeballs are fried.
lets pretend tumblr isnt actively murdering my image quality :/
i really like this!!! shes one of my ocs, i prob wont talk abt her on this blog very much seeing as shes part of a thing im doing with my irl friend. but this is the first time ive drawn her and i kinda love it! shes so pretty :D the ears are, yes, elf ears. we're gonna ignore how strange they look, i honestly couldnt be fucked to fix them.

I’m getting really irritated with “people have always been people” type posts where 90% of examples come from ancient Rome or medieval Europe and use this to act like the way people act in Cultures That Trace Their Cultural Histories From Rome And Medieval Europe are universal. Doubly so when it’s exclusively about city life in these time periods and places. People were people even when they did Kula rings in 19th century Papua New Guinea and lived in Hohokam courtyard group settings in 10th century Arizona and herded cows in 11th century Zimbabwe and didn’t have pizza or newspapers or birth control or lewd graffiti. Why are your examples of the universality of humanity only interested in what people were doing in the Bronze/Iron Age Mediterranean and medieval Europe. Learn about the Mesoamerican ballgame and Brithawon’s shitty pots and the egalitarian infrastructure of the Indus Valley Civilization and the lovingly fired and kept children’s pottery in 15th century New Mexico and gambling games played in Nevada 12,000 years ago as a method of social levelling and all the wild stuff Shihuangdi did. And then learn about how they thought about things very differently than you do too, and that’s okay.
this is a post about censorship and setting your own media boundaries
my mom is a professional film critic. when i was a kid, she'd often take me with her to film festivals and let me see whichever films i was interested in with her. now, the thing you've gotta understand about film festivals is that pretty much all the films being shown there have not seen any kind of wide release yet; maybe they've played at a few other festivals, maybe this is the first-ever public showing. iirc many of the films didn't even have official ratings yet
which is all to say: my mom took little ~10 year old me to watch films that she knew basically nothing about. she had a 1-2 sentence description of the film from the festival guide. sometimes she'd have a press kit with more info. so she may know that a film is about, say, a serial killer, but be unsure how explicit the violence would be
so when we were walking into movies together and she wasn't sure how heavy/dark/violent/sexual it was gonna be, she'd tell me beforehand "hey, this film might end up having stuff in it that makes you uncomfortable. i need to stay through the whole film because it's my job, so if you get scared, your job is to decide if you can keep watching and go out to the lobby if you can't. get some popcorn and i'll find you after the movie is over."
out of all the countless screenings i watched with her, i only remember walking out of one (a movie about a school shooting). i hit a point where i realized "oh, i'm not feeling fun-scared anymore, i'm feeling Real Scared", so i quietly left. one of my mom's friends saw me in the lobby and asked where my mom was, and i explained what happened, and she chatted with me for a while. i got some popcorn. i checked out the arcade games in the corner. by the time the movie was over, i was feeling fine, and now as an adult i don't even remember what the exact moment was that freaked me out so bad i had to leave
similarly, starting several years before that, i remember a few nights where i was having trouble falling asleep and feeling pretty restless, so i'd go out to the living room and ask my parents if i could watch whatever tv show/movie they were watching with them. and they'd say "yep, you can, but this our time to pick what's on the tv, so if you don't like what we're watching you can go back to your bedroom and read until you're sleepy". there were a handful of times when i decided that the thing they were watching was too scary, so i left. the rest of the time, i stayed, and it ended up being an interesting exposure to tv shows and movies i wouldn't have otherwise seen
the points i'm drawing to here are:
exposing kids to media that's "too mature" for them is Good For Them, Actually. adults have a tendency to way underestimate how much kids can handle! i watched mulholland drive when i was like 9! my favorite cartoon in elementary school was futurama!
teaching kids how to judge for themselves when they need to stop engaging with a media experience does a much better job at setting them up to have a healthy relationship with media than just banning them from anything deemed Too Mature For Kids
the ability to recognize "this media is upsetting me, so it's my responsibility to walk away from it and stop engaging" is a critical skill that is actually not that hard to develop, but for some reason a lot of young adults on the internet have apparently decided that they're permababies who are physically incapable of doing something i learned how to do in first grade
