An ontological mystery about a group of people who find themselves trapped in an unknown Location, amnesiac and with mysterious powers.
Quiet and Antagonism - webnovel about falling into another world. Cosmic fantasy in flavour, I suppose. On hiatus, right now.
Here's a "story masterpost" full of tags that are nonexhaustive about what else I talk about, plus the above.

briefly forgot that porn was a thing and googled "doctor sex" looking for the tf2 meme. big mistake
rules to using tumblr
Dumb science fiction concept: the bomb that makes ghosts.
It doesn’t actually kill anyone, but its guts of clockwork crystal and brass release a burst of psychokinetic energy that resonates with any death that’s ever happened within the blast radius. If anything above the spectral weight of a dandelion has died in the past year in that area, its soul is pulled screaming back into the world of the living. The ghosts of ants. The ghosts of rats. The ghosts of birds and cats and dogs and neighbours, pulled into howling, shrieking unnatural undeath.
The practical application of this has yet to be determined.
"I cannot think of the deep sea without shuddering at the nameless things that may at this very moment be crawling and floundering on its slimy bed."
Atothol, also known as 'Thinkers in the Deep'. Panspermia's version of aboleths. This one's a scientist or natural philosopher. (1773)
underrated part of petting a cat is when you reach over their head to scratch their back and they bonk their head on ur arm
that’s the stuff………………
This to me is the cats equivalent of when I kisses the forehead
One of the best parts of having a more popular post on tumblr is getting a glimpse into the many, many types of 'queue' tags. Sensible chuckles at every corner.
"Of Storm and Squall the monsters preach, down in the shallows, on the beach."
Yurkathul, a small town full of interesting secrets. Surrounded by an odd circle of standing stones. Inhabited mostly by odd-looking humans. More notes will be added as the party go to different areas... (Heavily referenced from Watabou's great generators) (1772)
WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU
lots and lots and lots and lots
wild that this has taken off outside of wizard tumblr because the original context for this was that i trapped 30 thousand people in a maze

Sometimes people on tumblr will reply to someone's personal story, starting with "the opposite happened to me/the opposite is also true!" and then tell their own story that is pretty much just... The same story. A variation of the exact same circumstances causing an extremely similar cause and effect. Not the reverse of it, not an inversion, just a variation of the same themes.
...I'm starting to suspect that some of you just plain don't know what "opposite" means.
Yeah, but there's also the exact inverse of that situation where people say something to the effect of "The reverse is true, too!" and then describe the thing you've just described, but with minor differences.
hey remember the Ability Radar? dont know if anyone dissected it or a reveal was done, so a guess: the exclamation point corresponds to cognitohazardous effects, whereas the lightbulb is to equipment and infrastructure on the scene of the event (or "the theoretical extent of the power's application in respect to user's imagination" ?)
(Meri's referring to this thing)
There's a bunch of things going on here, I think, because the Radar is like, an in-universe rating given by an organisation that is dedicated to giving quick and snappy descriptions to people in, basically, fireteams who are trying to deal with/capture/subdue superhumans. It means a lot of it is subjective, especially [!].
What I will say with regards to your question is that [!] tends to be very high for cognitohazards. But for some of these, it's entirely possible to be marked 'too high' in [!], and [!] is far more subjective than any of the others (lightbulb is probably the second most-subjective).
we do need to revisit the wording of "you can't have your cake and eat it too" because i don't think it clearly enough conveys that it's more that you can't simultaneously retain a cake and also get to consume it (which would render you cakeless). for years i was like But why not....it's my cake....?
I've been saying this for AGES. All we need to do is reverse the wording. "You can't eat your cake and have it too" makes SO much more sense!
“Do it?
Dan, I’m not an r/AITA villain. Do you seriously think I’d explain my masterstroke if there remained the slightest chance of you affecting its outcome?
I drew you as the soyjak and myself as the Chad thirty-five minutes ago.”
"I can't tell if OP is doing a wildly bad faith reading of a sentiment I'm familiar with or if there's a corner of this website that is completely insane in a way that I am not personally privy to" is such a classic tumblr feeling isn't it. Like it really could be anything
see when people try and nitpick me because i call my dog "my dog" when it's technically "the family dog".......well first of all i still call my brother "my brother" and not "the family boy". although maybe that should change. second of all sorry i'm still thinking about the family boy. btw i fell asleep while making this post last night and i think you can tell
