part 353 whalers on the moon

We've been here over a year now! I can hardly believe it! Dreamwidth's been pretty good, I'd say, with almost no downtime to speak of and all that! Anyway... how is your spring going? Or I guess it's almost summer, isn't it? Hopefully it's been well! I've been catching up on work and new movies, all very exciting stuff, I'm sure.

Enjoy part 353!

heee thanks those both sound cool<3

Aw man, that sucks. I'm so sorry. I hope it goes away soon!

Last time I had this, it lasted about five weeks. I'd wake up several times in a night, either because of a coughing fit or because my throat eventually got so sore I would wake up from the pain (or not be able to sleep in the first place). Swallowing was so horrible I sometimes got tears in my eyes. 95% of any class was spent trying to suppress coughing fits so I ended up not being able to pay attention to what was being said. And yeah, people looked at me funny because dry coughing for weeks isn't really something you usually do.

Unfortunately, nothing I tried really helped either. I did constantly have cough drops in my mouth, but I feel like they numbed my tongue more than my throat. Cough medicine generally succeeded in aiding me suppress the coughs for a short time though, so I kept a bottle at my bedside and took it whenever I woke up coughing.

anyone got any good netherlands/spain? angst, fluff, au, historical - anything!

i usually use dextromethorphan cough syrup for the pointless cough that hangs around for weeks after i no longer feel the least bit ill otherwise, that usually has an effect on it. otherwise i feel so bad for everyone trying to sleep in the same building as me barking all night.

"I'M BEGGING YOU CONVINCE PEOPLE WHO HAVE POSTED A DELETED ART TO DELETE IT RIGHT NOW"

Yeah because a deleted artist with deleted art from 2001 is going to feel violated

Right?

They're really acting like people who post a SOURCED art without asking for permission from a long-dead artist is like violating consent.

Fuck that noise, without people posting deleted art from years ago before I got into the fandom, I would have missed seeing some of the most beautiful pieces.

tumblrs attitude towards fanart continues to boggle my mind

like especially for Hetalia and older fandoms a good chunk of art thats floating around now is from deleted sources. so there should just not be a fandom for these series anymore, in order to protect the feelings of fanartists... of those fandoms? in what kind of fucking bizzaro world does this make sense?

You have any other favorites othern than Rome/Italies?

So dramatic.

I didn't even bother reading that whole thing

what I was interested in was how the hell they got those links to specific parts of the page to work. I didn't even know you could do that on Tumblr.

Lesse. Turkey and Greece, though I tend to not read much of them because I don't like Turkey/Greece (I am weird). Egypt, too - all the Mediterraneans actually, including Spain and Monaco. Prussia, I like myself some Prussia! He's my original true favorite. Romania and Bulgaria in any amount make me happy, too.

definition of 'strange' may depend on context

i just got a really oddly specific personal question out of the blue (which i'm omitting because it's so oddly specific i feel like it'd be recognized if i were to quote it).

which would not be strange at all were this a personal blog, but this is a pretty straight up image only blog. it's essentially an archive for fanart i liked. i never speak about myself on this blog. it is not connected to any other blogs on which i do speak about myself.

i'm actually thinking maybe this person had the wrong browser open and intended this question for someone else. or, they're trying to figure out if i'm someone they know?

I once got an anonymous ask that said "Both my hearts skipped a beat when you walked into the room. Just sayin, pretty lady."
Which was more unfortunate than strange (I do like Doctor Who), because this person turned out to be a friend of mine who was trying to tell me they had a crush on me, but I couldn't reciprocate those feelings. But we're still friends. I'd kind of forgotten about this.

Just a bunch of bots saying something along the lines of "hey! we knew each other in highschool, but you'll have to guess who I am by clicking on this website!"

ngl at first I got scared and my first thought was "oh no, my highschool ex-classmates found my tumblr!!!! D:" before I read the message a couple more times and realized it was a bot.

I've been tempted to start up a blog for (or at least somehow feature) deleted art.
Because the only place you're going to find it now is floating about in the ether.
It's like out-of-print books, vintage jewelry, I don't know, it's rare, and the new kids aren't going to see it unless we show them.

A couple years ago, I got the longest multiple-message rant from the infamous DenSu hating troll. I kind of wish I'd kept it. At the time, I didn't know that this was a notorious troll and I just assumed it was some spammer trying to get attention, and deleted after skimming. But I vaguely remember it was comedy gold. So much anger, so little consideration for grammar.

YOU MONSTER

I kind of wish you'd kept it too, haha. I mean, I'm very familiar with their flailing by now, but if you're the one who mentioned it previously, then your message had a kink-shame angle that they usually don't include.

(The weirdass grammar, to be fair, can be attributed to English being their second language. But even with that, they're... very incoherent.)

Every message the DenSu troll has ever sent me.

Though the most interesting one of those was probably when they accused me of being the kink meme mod.
