Об'єктивність потрапила в око

Щось мені якось сумно і більше не подобається те, що я пишу. І це дуже демотивує, бо все одно єдина людина, яка читає мої фанфіки та ориджі, це я і подобатись воно має мені, відповідно.

Вже думаю, чи не видалити свій магнум опус з аозу та спробувати переписати краще, але ж розумію, що я нездара і краще навряд вийде. І от наче буває, що хочеться щось написати, а потім бачу, що вийшло не те. Не можу написати так, щоб мені сподобалось.

Хотілось написати ще фанф по АнКу, але... Знов таки, здалося, що він недостатньо хороший.

Хз. Можливо, мені просто не варто писати. Ну нема в мене хисту, що поробиш. Сумненько якось.

До речі, коротенькі кріпіпасти про фейрі мені теж не сподобались. Хоча їх похвалили в чатику, але я думаю, що то з ввічливості. Таке. Навіть на аоз не викладаю.

I lied Here’s new post Too long to explain

Одна половина мене хоче завести блог тут чи на друкарні і писати туди кріпіпасту/кріпіпасту про фейрі, а інша половина мене розуміє, що воно нікому нахуй не потрібне й без позитивного підкріплення мого ентузіазму надовго не стане.

Можливо піду читати увесь nosleep, з кінцями всравши свій розпорядок читання книг до наступного року...

Так бісить, коли світ довкола не крутиться навколо моїх вподобань, просто жах!!1

Tried to recreate him. Did the best I could. The difference is wild.

I still remember how excited I was back in 2022, when it was reviled that in ER character maker will be countless and with such a good graphics.

Clodia pretending to be Ukrainian willager working in Kyiv while speaking russian... What a shame.

Tho, it shows western view very accurate. Would an American vampiress know that Ukrainians speak Ukrainian (what a surprise)? Would a nazi know that Ukrainians speak Ukrainian? I think we all know the answer. It would be a dark irony, but I think showrunners eather didn't know...

I'm also very sour abot tolstoy's full screan cameo, but well... At least they showed true ruzzians - how they were through WWII and how nothing changed. But still... It's so westerned. Oooh, look, they kill and torture innocent people, what a fascinating rotten creatures, let's show tolstoy's book.

Still, it would be nice to see Kyivan Armand, as he meant to be in the books. But well... At least they romanticized nazis, not ruzzis. It's a progress...

As a Ukrainian fan of VC, I am very disappointed with the plot twist of the series. Of course, this could be predicted, but I hoped to the last that Armand's Ukrainian origin would be reflected at least in the series. It is very bitter that even in the 21st century, in a series that positions itself as modern and tolerant, Ukraine was again erased from history and canon.

They turned a blind eye to Ukraine. Again. And this is right now, when the genocide of the Ukrainian people and culture is taking place. They play up the narrative of a non-existent Ukraine, a Ukraine that invisible to the world.

How to Get a Chronological Dash as a New Blog

I've been working on a Tumblr Roleplaying 101 guide, and in doing so wound up making a brand new Tumblr account for some screenshots. And this process made me realize how weirdly complicated Tumblr has made it for new accounts to get a chronological dash. So if you just want to see posts from people you follow, in the order that they made them, this what you have to do.

First, go to your settings, go under Dashboard, and scroll down to Preferences. Toggle off Best Stuff First. This switches your dash from an algorithm feed to a chronological one.

If you have an older blog, that's all you have to do. But if your blog was created more recently, you have an extra step.

The Tumblr dashboard has different tabs, which you can see across the top of your feed. Most older users have completed tuned these out, because we don't care about anything other than the basic feed. There is a Following tab, which shows posts from users you follow, and a For you tab, which shows recommend posts Tumblr thinks you'll like.

On blogs created before May 8, 2023, the Following tab is the default view. However, blogs created after this date have the For you tab as the default view. (This is an intentional change by Tumblr.)

This means if you are a newer blog and want to see posts from people you follow, you'll need to manually switch to the Following tab every time you open the dashboard.

If you do not like this change, consider contacting Tumblr staff. Submit a form under the Feedback category and explain that you'd like the option to make the Following tab the default for new blogs. And please, be polite! There is a person on the other side of the screen who likely had no say in this change, and even if they did, they don't deserve to be yelled at.

literally my whole life

One of the biggest issues of moving to England as a person who is Ukrainian AND neurodivergent is not knowing how to answer the small talk question of "how are you", but today I was reminded that Ukrainian blessed me with the phrase that roughly translates as "living is hard but dying would be a pity" and can we please naturalise it so I can use it all day every day
