The never ending fight about what color TFP Ratchet is

Deep fried Transformers. I don't mean pixely and over saturated. I mean people keep battering and frying their toys. I cannot explain this

The take over of other fandoms posts. Transformers can and will be applied to everything. Anything and everything can and will be related back to Transformers

Mr. John Hasbro (vague and unspecific)

Be kind to the OC Creators and Self-shippers. Cringe is dead and if you don't like their vibes, just DNI. It's Tumblr. You're on their turf now.

blogs. overtime, you will find around 15-20 saiki k blogs (number subject to change). theres lots of content, but the fandom is still small enough to have these blogs! thats why its so great! its big and small at the same time!

ships. everything (except propshipping) goes. you ship saiteru? cool! you ship aisai? great! you ship anything with akechi? awesome! multishipper? wonderful! you dont do shipping at all? amazing! everything (except propshipping) is welcome!

tags. i still have no idea if #saikik or #tdlosk is better. so thats up to you.

homophobes. homophobes, transphobes, bigots, etc arent welcome here. 90% of the saiki k (tumblr) fandom is queer.

spoilers. remember to mark spoilers! (in every fandom!)

reawakened. "the disastrous life of saiki k reawakened" is the name of a netflix original show. its basically an extension of the original show. i someone mentions "reawakened" theyre most likely talking about the show with the long name that im not typing

saiki k. is this something youve never heard of? The Disastrous Life of Saiki K/ 斉木楠雄のΨ難/ Saiki Kusuo no Sai-nan is a manga and anime series by Shūichi Asō. you can find the manga in a lot of places. the anime is on netflix! (theres also a live action movie but whatever)

I hope this is a helpful resource for people. Inside you will find some common terms, explanations about finding art, fics, and fandom events as well as some advice for tagging & filtering on archiveofourown, some Discord basics, filtering on Tumblr, and some tips on how to comment.

I’ve been sitting on this for a while but here is a small guide for Ghost fans who are writing fiction :) 

I noticed there are a LOT of very specific terms that might be confusing to new members when it comes to fandom lingo- on top of there being a lot of religious garbs and other terminology! This is something I just made in my spare time with research. 

I will reblog and update this every so often. This is also just from MY personal research, but I will try to keep it as accurate and informed as possible.

Thanks! 

Religious Garb:

(Note: A quick reminder that all of these garments can be subjected to various changes depending on the exact faith they are being used for. I tried to keep this as close to western Catholic and Christianity for the sake of simplicity and to match the exact religious themes used by the band.)

Alb - A typical priest’s robe or tunic, often plain and white. Usually long sleeved and ankle length with minimum decoration to symbolize purity. Sometimes worn plain or with a cincture. Albs are also worn over cassocks but under important vestments like the chasuble. (Papa III’s alb is the garment he wears with the lace gold sleeves under his chasuble.)

Amice - A white, square shaped linen cloth worn over the shoulders and under the alb or other vestments. In the middle ages it also served as a hood or cap. Typically worn during mass or new baptisms. 

Balaclava - Also called a ski mask or a bally. A head fitting cloth mask that usually has the mouth or eyes cut out. Typically worn under helmets of costume masks. (Used by nameless Ghouls under their masks.)

Bauta Mask - a style of Venetian Carnival mask. Marked by having no mouth, a full covering for the face, and a pointed chin and jaw line. (Black ones worn by the Era II Nameless Ghouls.) 

Biretta - A Square cap characterized by having three to four peaks and sometimes decorated with a decorative tuft. A cap’s color can also designate rank within a clergy: Red for Cardinals, Purple for Bishops, and Black for priests. Worn both for and outside of ceremony. (See Cardinal Copia’s pointed hat.)

Cappello Romano - (also called a Saturno) a wide brimmed hat with no ceremonial purpose. Just used as a sun hat when paired with a cassock. Designs change depending on the rank of the wearer. Popes typically wear red with gold detail. Black is the typical color for eveyone. 

Cassock

Chasuble

Cincture 

Clerical Collar 

Crosier

Ferula - or “Papal Ferula” is that staff carried and used only by the Pope, decorated with a knob on the top and a cross. (See Papa II’s staff with the Grucifex on top.) 

Habit - Clothing uniform worn by members of a religious order. In this case, a nun’s dress. 

Mitre - The ceremonial headdresses worn by Bishops and Abbots. Characterized by a pointed, two sided structure that is decorated at the base with lappets. Also worn by Cardinals and the Pope. Three different types exist and are all done for very different occasions. Mitres are typically white with varying degrees of decoration for the occasion. (See all the mitres worn by each Papa.) 

Rochets - a shorter, white linen tunic that is used by Cardinals and Bishops that is worn over the cassock. It has narrower sleeves and is often decorated with white lace or embroidery on the sleeves and ends of the garment. In Catholicism it is only worn by these higher clergymen and prelates as choir dress, as given permission to them by the Pope.  

Stole

Surplice 

Vestments - Term for ceremonial clothing or clothing symbolizing religious office worn during service. Think Chasubles, stoles, etc. 

Wimple - headdress or veil worn by nuns. 

Zucchetto - A silky skullcap that resembles a hemispherical beret. They are colored based on rank. Retired and acting popes wear white, cardinals wear scarlet, Archbishops/bishops/abbots wear amaranth, and priests and deacons wear black.

I feel like lately a lot of f1 fans on tumblr are having a hard time and  dont feel good. And that makes me sad because f1umblr brought me so much joy and I met so man fantastic people because of it. So I thought about some things that maybe help to make people enjoy it again. 

Are you new to the Reylo fandom? Are you extremely overwhelmed or nervous about posting because you don’t know how to tag? Don’t worry, we’ve all been there, and it’s not as daunting as you may think. Let’s get you tagging.

This post was made on October 23rd, 2017, and it refers to the current Tumblr updates on Desktop. I don’t know if this will change anytime soon, but if it does I will try to update this guide. Please reblog so the newer Reylos will see this, and please check out our other stuff! (Guide under the cut)
