I’m begging you, if you’ve ever written or made anything original on here please back it up in some form or the other now. The fact tumblr is blocking the wayback machine is the clearest sign they’re nuking this website and everything else is just a smokescreen for their intentions.
Ouch. I don’t know if they plan to delete everything really soon or just, like whatever unfortunate posts they randomly flagged, but whatever is up, this is very ominous.
Anyway, even if Tumblr ends up staying up for years after this I don’t trust this site anymore and I absolutely agree that if there’s anything on here someone would miss if it was gone, they should back it up!
They are blocking WayBack; I just tried to save my homepage and it denied me.
Download your stuff now, if you haven’t. I have found a LOT of my posts are missing as I go back over my blog. Randomly, I found that all of my posts with my picture of Teagan in it were missing. Thankfully I had that art gift already saved elsewhere. I have no idea what else from the last five, six years has gone missing.
Okay so since a lot of people are doing this and tbh at the moment I’m not trusting tumblr not to float tits up (pardon. female-presenting nipples up) any minute, if for some reason my blog should be deleted in a freak accident or anything similar, I can be reached on Discord.
This blog is my only social media and I am not planning on leaving any time soon after just getting comfortable here, also I don’t want to spread myself over various social media. I know myself by now and I don’t wanna suffer a second Burnout because I feel the obsessive urge to be super-present everywhere at the same time… So I’ll stick around unless a REALLY good alternative presents itself!
But should anything happen, you can contact me on Discord:
BronzeAgeLove #9655
(if your username there is different from your tumblr and we’ve never talked before, please write me an ask or DM first because my blocking reflex is really quick, but rest assured I’m relaxed and don’t bite)
As The Last Day approaches, one more reblog for those who want!
Apart from Discord, you can find me and the turian D on AO3: BronzeAgeLove
Do they suffer any mental disorders? (PTSD/Depression etc): Pre-2159 Jane has a light chronic depression and is a borderline alcoholic, and post-2159 Kieran has PTSD. The others are all mostly stable except for Chiho Miura who has bad coping mechanism originating in her disfunctional childhood and teen years, and Ensign Leucen who doesn’t exactly have a mental disorder but is extremely focused on upholding an image of himself that’s not the truth- he hides a lot of insecurities behind a big mouth and brash behaviour, which doesn’t help.
Do they have any physical impairments (Blind/Deaf/Loss of a limb): The only one is post-2159 Jane who had extensive surgery and wears two prosthetics. Apart from her, the only ones are Kieran who has atopic eczema (not an impairment per se, but flare-ups do restrict his everyday life to an extent) and Captain Ianus, whose deep gash in his chest plates is famous enough around Hierarchy space by now 😉
Adessar: He doesn’t get embarrassed easily, and is good at hiding it. When he does, it’s when faced with asari matriarchs asking him personal questions. Usually he’ll pinch his mandibles close to his face and start bobbing his head like an overstimulated cockatoo (his way of a flight response).
Miura: Scowls as if there was no tomorrow- showing weakness is something she doesn’t do. She can also blush, which shows as a darkening of her cheeks.
Giuliani: He turns beet red despite his olive complexion. Also stammers, and tends to tug at the hem of his shirt a lot when he feels uneasy.
T’Rani: She’s an extrovert and rarely gets embarrassed, but if she does, her neck turns a nice shade of cornflower blue. It doesn’t happen often, so when it does, the rest of the squad always grill her with invasive questions and try to keep her blushing because it’s so interesting to witness 😉
7. Something they’re proud of? Jane is proud of her guesthouse, and proud of pushing through her depression to take on that adventure, even if the reason for it was a tragedy. Kieran is proud of his physique (yeah he’s a little vain). And, since he is a father, of his son.
8. What is something they really hate? Jane has a very ambiguous relationship with her prosthetics… most of the time, she hates them with a fervor, remembering how she was before- even though she knows she’d feel better if she accepted everything. And Kieran hates Terra Firma.
18. Describe their sleeping habits: Hot Captain Ianus sleeps naked and curled up on his side with his head on one arm, usually without moving and/or snoring until he wakes. The more cushions and blankets around, the better! He’s a nestler and loves prepping his bed before sleep by building himself a little pillow fort, but don’t tell anyone 😉
9. Now something they really love? Apart from expensive brandies, flirting and pulverizing batarian camps, Ianus adores the scent of armour polish. It reminds him of his time spent in the ground forces, and brings back a lot of memories.
12.
Are they a morning person or a night owl?
He’s mostly a morning person, but then he can also live on 3-4hrs of sleep a night without both short- and long-term problems, so somehow it’s both? According to the ensigns, the captain is some otherworldly being that never sleeps and is out to get them.
15.
Give me a description of their family. Very functional, no disobedience allowed. Mother is a Praetor, so quite high up the ladder, father is an administrator. Both have that tell-tale turian stick up their ass, so they raised their kids along the same lines. Ianus has two younger sisters who are both marines and stationed on one of the Hierarchy Dreadnoughts.
