Whatever This Is

@maddrumsticks

Just random art and posts and stuff. Any pronouns I AM A MINOR I'm in the Undertale, Deltarune, The Owl House, Gravity Falls, and ENA fandoms. (Those are the fandoms I may post about.) I also have my own characters I may post about.

Hi! I realized that, while I have a post about it on my main blog, I don't have one on this blog.

This used to be my main blog, but it was shadow banned for 6 months so I abandoned it. SO!

@maddrumsticks2 is my main blog now! I am active there, while this blog is basically dead.

@maddrumsticks-art is where I reblog all the art I've made, in case you don't wanna see a bunch of extra stuff on the side.

If you wanna interact with me, @maddrumsticks2 is the place! Okay, now I'll abandon this account again

why the fuck does english have a word for

but not for “the day after tomorrow”

???

Because you’re not looking hard enough! ;)

Overmorrow = the day after tomorrow

Ereyesterday = the day before yesterday

Example: I defenestrated my brother ereyesterday. I shall defenestrate my sister overmorrow! Because I hate my family and also windows.

english has some of the best examples of stupidly specific words, tbh

Rhotacism (n): excessive use of the letter “R”

Lingible (adj): meant to be licked

Whipjack (n): a beggar, specifically one who is pretending to have been shipwrecked

Yerd (v): to beat with an object with a stick

Roddikin (n): the fourth stomach of a cow or a deer

Balbriggan (n): a type of fine cotton, most often used in underwear

and my personal favorite

Cornobble (v): to slap or beat another person with a fish

This makes the English nerd in me extremely happy.

Very stupid thing I drew a while ago about a phenomenon I noticed in fanarts.

This is the last time I draw anime boy sans btw, this was an absolute pain

I'm currently feeling the pain of being in a super small fandom

Like only a thousand people have watched at least through arc 1 on YouTube.

The Chaos Protocol is a TTRPG active play by @transplanarrpg and it's super super good. The story telling is phenomenal and Connie is such an amazing GM. (Not to mention how amazing all the other players are as well.)

Chaos Protocol has become part of the small list of media that has made me cry. I knew what was going to happen, and yet I was still caught sobbing.

I highly, highly recommend watching or listening to the Chaos Protocol. You can find it in multiple places as a podcast, watch it on YouTube, or watch it streaming live on Twitch. (I've been watching it on YouTube because I love the facial expressions everyone has.)

I love you piece of media that uses neopronouns casually

ikr chaos protocol is so inclusive!! It has both major and minor characters that use a range of neopronouns :D

what's chaos protocol now im interested

OKAY SO

The Chaos Protocol is one of 3 main ttrpg campaigns done by Transplanar rpg, an all transgender, people of colour- led ttrpg actual play channel that specialises in dark fantasy campaigns set in an original non-colonial antiorientalist multiverse (this has mostly been taken from their YT page)

The Chaos protocol is about 3 agents of TRANS (the Transplanar Reification and Nourishment Syndicate), a syndicate that was originally made to help defeat Oblivion, one of the 3 precepts along with Fate and Magic who was trying to destroy the multiverse, but after Fate and Magic sorted things out with her TRANS became a syndicate designed around helping the planes that Oblivion had hurt. Our 3 agents, strike team Nova, are answering distress calls across the multiverse and trying to deal with their own internal conficts and grief. (there's technically 4 agents but one of them is an NPC so I haven't really counted her)

Sing (she/they) is the child of Fate, one of the 3 precepts and she's an NPC so she's just played by Connie Chang (they/he/she) the GM. She's Fate's chosen hero which entails her having her own destiny to fulfil, she's basically the golden child of TRANS.

Seir (he/they) is Sing's twin so he is also a child of Fate. He's played by Valiant Dorian (he/him). He is not Fate's chosen hero and is often ignored by Fate in favour of his sister, to quote the first episode "Fate didn't make mistakes, but to the Syndicate, Seir was the closest thing to it" He's very loyal to strike team Nova and especially to his sister but he doesn't really have an identity of his own he's either "the son of Fate" or "Sing's disappointing brother".

Lumièra (she/her) is the party's healer and is played by Samm Star (she/they/fae). Lumièra has recently (and by recently i mean before the campaign starts) been having troubles using her healing magic and has mostly been relying on her healing gum and regular first aid tactics. She keeps stressing until her friend gives her a forbidden book taht they say could help her with finding her magic calling.

Xainan Esch (he/him) is the party's gunslinger and he is played by Cai K (he/they/she). Xainan is the last survivor of Kesseki, a world which got destroyed and turned to dust by Oblivion, he still hasn't completely recovered from the loss of his parents, his 4 lovers and his daughter. He's described as the 'poster child' of the Lone Survivor Support Group (LSSG for short) but even with him going to every meeting he can he still focuses more on helping others rather than himself. He was assigned to Strike Team Nova to mentor Sing but they had only really went on a couple of missions before the mayday missions began.

And together they are all Strike Team Nova serving under the Hand of Fate Artemis (she/they) the patron of mortal who is played by Sea Thomas (they/them). The Hands of Fate are three immortals who serve Fate and basically instruct the mortals to do her will, the other two are Lucy, patron of monsters, and Wuyin, patron of heroes, (I am not 100% sure of their pronouns nor am i sure I have spelt the latter's name correctly so if anybody wants to correct me I am happy to receive it). Different Strike teams will serve a different Hand of Fate but everyone at TRANS serves Fate.

The chaos protocol tackles themes of grief, queer love and the control of fate. Almost every character is queer and/or poc and Connie Chang has gone on record to say that it's because they wanted to tell more stories that they and so many of the people they cared about could relate to.

If you have any triggers, The Chaos Protocol does detail any content warnings at the start of every episode. Also it is very long campaign, it isn't even over yet but it's already at nearly 70 episodes all of which are nearly an hour long but they do a lot with every scene given. If a scene doesn't emotionally punch you in the gut it's there to show off the motivations of a character or to introduce a new character or mystery. It is currently in hiatus before arc 3 so you do have time to catch up.

Tumblr: *rolls out “best stuff first”*

My blog:

on the one hand this is a joke post because lol i have never made a good post in my life, but also, if i hadn’t made the connection between this update and my sudden nosedive in activity, i would have been really fucking discouraged about all the shit i’ve been working on lately. i guarantee there are people on tumblr right now who haven’t made that connection, and who are trying to figure out why suddenly no one likes anything they’ve made. and that fucking sucks.

Reminder to go into your settings and turn off ‘Best Stuff First’ because my activity’s tanked a couple days ago for no reason so this stuff IS happening.

You WILL miss content with that setting on.

i ain’t joking when i say that my activity looks JUST like this too and i wasn’t sure why

I can only find the option on the app under Settings > Dashboard Preferences.

To support content creators do us a favour and turn off “Best stuff first”. Open the tumblr app (Android or iOs) and go to “Settings > Dashboard Preferences. And please reblog this post, so that everybody will see this. Thank you very much!

I assumed I just wasn’t writing very well, but maybe it’s not just me.

Am I supposed to pay to get my writing in front of followers now?

We interrupt your regularly-scheduled sci-fi content because this is important for app users, and it sucks. We all follow blogs because we want to see their content, not to have a crappy algorithm decide what’s best.

This blog is down approximately 80%, which doesn’t affect me other than as an annoyance (as this is a hobby and @okayto is small-ish) but the issue undoubtedly hurts others.

Below are instructions for turning it off. You have to do it individually–it doesn’t matter if a blog you follow turns it off, you’ll still be affected unless you do the same.

We don’t normally reblog PSAs, but this is very clearly affecting us, too! If you haven’t been getting your daily dose of RPG humor, this setting is probably why. Turn it off so you can see all the silly shit players say!

Trying to reblog the versions of these instructions with the most notes, so they’ll actually show up for the people afflicted by this update.

So uhm

I’m visiting my grandparents and my grandma bought my baby cousin these animals of the alphabet toys for her from a yard sale.

Each animal has a letter printed on them, monkeys have an M, tigers have a T, etc.

But then there’s this….Jiraffe

But wait, it gets better. This isn’t just some random small toy company. No, this came from Mattel in 2004 according to the bottom of said “Jiraffe”

We named him Jeff the Jiraffe

I liked this post, scrolled for like another minute before I went “SHIT FUCK SHIT” and scrolled back to reblog it

I always reblog this one when I see it on my dash. When someone posts their own art, writing, or music here they are really hoping you will share it.

I HATE being aroace

I hate it

I. Hate it

I hate it

I hate having a friend who realized she wasn't truly aroace. And all the sudden that friend is so much more distant

I hate watching all my friends around me fall in love and date, while I'm left alone in the dust

I hate that the only thing people talk to me about anymore is their crushes. No simple life things or basic conversations.

I hate that I can't go five hours without talking about love.

I hate that I'm this way.

I hate that I can't relate to the most universal experience.

I hate that I feel like the only 'person' I can turn to is my own Tumblr. And just because I'm too scared to talk.

I hate that I feel this way

I hate that I wish I could fall in love

I hate that I wish I could get married

I hate that I'm aroace.

I just want to be normal.
