Byf/Tag List

This is primarily my account for reblogging random stuff I like. If you want to see my newer writing, original posts, or progress as I learn to draw follow me @something-very-wrong

This is not and DNI and I do not have one so don't ask. I'm not going to list my triggers out for anyone to see a weaponize, and bigots rarely listen when you tell them to fuck off anyway. I block others at my own discretion. I have too much shit to worry about irl to care about what strangers do online as long as no real people are getting hurt. If you squick me out I'll block you and that’s that.

If I reblog something that is controversial or a generally upsetting topic, I'll tag for it. If I miss something, let me know <3

Additionally, if I reblog something of yours and you want me to remove a tag I added or even have me delete the reblog, just ask and I'll do it.

I used to have a discourse tag but I don't anymore because this isn't a discourse blog. There are other tags I don't use anymore as well, but I won't bother listing them since, like I said, they aren’t in use anymore.

Can't believe I have to put this here but DO NOT DM ME TO TRY AND GET ME TO BUY A COMMISSION.

Tag List:

#the OTP For all things related to soundstar, aka: Soundwave/Starscream from transformers.

#starscream appreciation post it's exactly what it sounds like. Reblog or otherwise: posts focusing on Starscream that I especially like.

#My writing is also what it sounds like. There is some stuff under here, but the tag is outdated since all my writing is now posted from @something-very-wrong

#marine tag for all things ocean and marine bio related

#marine memes alternatively is for the above, only memes or other more jokey posts

#biology

#ecology

#plant stuff

#shark tag for all things shark related.

#Gore tag is for things with blood.

#Blood tag is for things with gore

#horror tag is for horror content and all things horror related. It sometimes overlaps with the gore and blood tags.

#robogore gore but robots.

I try to tag for triggers but am a tad forgetful so if I miss something or you want a specific post tagged as something feel free to ask.

#og post is for original posts. I used to use #og content so there's probably some stuff under that as well. There is some stuff under here, but the tag is outdated since all my original stuff is now posted from @something-very-wrong

My ao3 is @Something_Wrong and my ask box/DMs are always open.

DM me for my Discord!

Much love and please enjoy your stay! 🦈❤️

Do you guys ever send an ask as an anon to someone because theyre too cool to see your messy house but its feels more like a robber using a sticky note as a mask because you liked a bunch of their posts before AND after the ask?

I haven't even watched Samurai Jack (should I?) but a brief glance in Tumblr tags made me come to the conclusion that Scaramouche is most often tagged with "scaramouche samurai jack".

I can't tell you whether you should watch Samurai Jack.

What I can tell you is this: it's a very pretty very atmospheric show—gorgeous backgrounds, long sequences with no dialogue—so if you want to just stare and absorb the atmosphere it's a great show, but if your attention span is short and you aren't in the mood to lengthen it it's a difficult watch. If you've got the attention span it's got some of the most beautiful sequences to come out of a kid's cartoon produced for a mainstream market.

It's very episodic until the final season, and you see a whole lot of strange places and meet a whole lot of interesting characters, once. Most of the one-time characters sorta do their job but don't leave an impression. You might cry over a robot with a silly-looking dog.

For the first four seasons there's only three regularly recurring characters: the hero, the villain, and some dude that shows up like,, three or four times or so? In the fifth season we make it up to six recurring characters wow

It bounces back and forth between hard scifi and high fantasy and then sometimes there's a town being devastated by a farting dragon

it toes the line between "mixed martial arts/samurai epic" and "goofy over-the-top hyperexaggeration of a mixed martial arts/samurai epic." This is a Western show made with a target audience of weeaboos.

Aku spends an entire episode in disguise crossdressed as a hot human babe. I don't think Jack was ever in drag but one time he wore high heels and looked good doing it. I don't know if that's important to you but it's important to me.

Also Jack's clothes get ripped off a lot in the heat of combat. That's not important to me but it might be important to you.

If part of the reason you're asking me if you should watch the show is because my post on Scaramouche intrigued you, you oughta know that he only appears in the final 5th season and he's in like three episodes.

Because the show's been over almost eight years (and the final season came after a hiatus of 13 years), there are a lot of people like "oh yeah I watched that show, I remember it, it was good" but not a lot of people actively currently participating in the fandom.

None of this is to persuade you or dissuade you from watching it, but to tell you stuff that might impact how much you wanna see it.

anyway thanks for the tag research assistance

Trump’s auto tariffs to cover $600 billion in imports, including laptop computers By Reuters
Trump’s auto tariffs to cover $600 billion in imports, including laptop computers
Investing.com
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump’s 25% auto tariffs will cover nearly $600 billion worth of vehicles and auto parts imports annually and extend to all computer imports into the U.S. - including laptops - according to a Reuters analysis of tariff codes included in a federal register notice on Wednesday. The update of Trump’s auto tariff proclamation from last week included nearly 150 auto parts categories that will face tariffs starting on May 3, a month after Thursday’s midnight activation of 25% tariffs on vehicle imports. The list includes tariff codes for engines, transmissions, lithium-ion batteries and other major components, along with less expensive parts including tires, shock absorbers, spark plug wires and brake hoses. But a major surprise was the inclusion of the four-digit tariff code covering all computers, which are among the biggest global import categories into the U.S. at $138.5 billion in 2024, according to U.S. Census Bureau data.

hi y’all i just wanted to put you onto this fundraiser for the buffalo nations grasslands alliance. they’re trying to recoup some of the funds for black-footed ferret conservation on tribal grounds that the trump/musk administration has frozen, which is impacting not only the conservation efforts themselves but the livelihoods of the people working on them. the frozen grant is 1.1 million but this fundraiser has a goal of 50,000.

the fundraiser has 24 days left and has only reached 2% of its goal with 11 donations. black-footed ferrets are an endangered lazarus taxon that was thought to be extinct from 1979-1981 before being rediscovered by accident. they’re a miracle of conservation and it would be horrible to lose them for good, not to mention (again) the impact of people working with these animals losing their jobs which is outlined in the fundraiser link. indigenous-led conservation efforts are extremely important for a wide variety of reasons and as someone in the zoology area i feel obligated to share this fundraiser to contribute to those efforts.

i know that things are hard right now and there’s a lot of people and organizations all across the world that need help, so don’t feel pressured BUT if you have extra money and you can contribute to this fundraiser or share it with people who can that would be great.

super cute black-footed ferrets ^

Boosting this here- black footed ferrets are perhaps a little more charismatic than we usually allow here, but they need all the help they can get!
