What are tone tags

in short, tone tags are used to help indicate tone of any given message. this is helpful for folks like me who struggle to interpret tone! here’s an example (pay attention to the bolded tags):

“[name] is a really cool person! like, just look at them, they’re glowing. /gen”

“[name] is a really cool person! like, just look at them, they’re glowing. /s”

the “/gen” tag clarifies that this is a genuine statement, versus the “/s” tag indicating the speaker is being sarcastic. this may seem obvious to you given the context of the conversation, but to someone who can’t judge tone well, you can see how much of a difference these statements are, despite the text being the same. one is positive and supportive, the other critical.

a good thing to do to determine how often you should use tone tags is ask the person you’re talking with, especially if they’re open about being neurodivergent. different people will have different preferences! using tags like these can save you (and the person who needs them) a lot of miscommunication errors, leading to smoother conversations.

if you want more information about tone tags and how to use them, consult this website! thanks for asking :]

that feeling when one of your favorite bands responds to your instagram story being supportive

very motivating,,,, i got some owed art to take care of first but after that? we shall see… 👁️👁️

apocalypse orchestra is a really really interesting rock/metal(?) band that blends centuries-old instruments with modern hard guitar n shit, highly recommend the band :3

if you are interested in the ✨fancy✨ (but free) layouts some like to use to spice up their profiles, check out this bulletin: https://toyhou.se/13998557.categorised-codes

edit the codes in circlejourney to see a live preview of your code before you update any actual profiles: https://th.circlejourney.net/

have fun and good luck editing!

now that artfight is over i can update my toyhouse bc my preparations for AF kinda made it the site with more accurate character info and references, when toyhouse was supposed to be that jhbdjhbd

if i had a nickel for every time i got into a band that had connections to this one guy™️ (serj tankian) without knowing it i’d have two nickels, which isn’t a lot but it’s weird it happened twice (viza, dog fashion disco)

don’t know much about the people behind the bands but the music itself is insanely good istg— i feel like atp i should listen to system of a down’s stuff (where serj is the lead singer)

next one up for dtiys prize art; this is for @forkbirtuna ! loved drawing these cuties :3

Weirdly anti-millennial articles have scraped the bottom of the barrel so hard that they are now two feet down into the topsoil

Hello supporting friends ! My family and I have been suffering and struggling over staying safe and alive for almost 260 days due to the gruesome and catastrophic war over Gaza. Our house and our livelihood source have vanished with the black days of the war and we became displaced, hopeless , homeless and desperate because we can't provide the simplest daily needs . It's a tragedy and hardship. We have been living in a small dirty tent all these sad days, facing famine, terror of bombings , shortage of medical care and with no sanitation facilities . It's incredible hell on earth, and this is why I am asking you to be beside us against these sad days. Support us with the means you have either by donating whatever you can or sharing my link to other donors. Be helpful and supporter to people in need.

I’m so sorry you and your family are in this horrible situation and I wish you all will be safe and comfortable as soon as possible

Art fight prep thread

i’ll be periodically adding to this as i, well, do my prep for what will be my third art fight! there’s a number of things i need to do:

make references for the ocs that will be on my page (francis, maddox, cecie, iarmys, inanna, and ayelet (ayelet is @boxxed-upkr ‘s)) (three are done, but i may redo two of them..)

make icons for the above characters

make lil chibis of the above charas to sit on my home profile page

after teams are announced, make borders for this year’s attack icons

hunt down a person to do an 800 level revenge chain with, to try to be in the top 3 longest chains of the year

if possible, revamp the toyhouse pages of the public characters there

strikedown = completed

caustic.caffeine’s art fight info

scene hitlist // revenge chain hitlist will be a long one!! aiming to be one of the top three longest chainers this year!

art fight profile: https://artfight.net/~caustic-caffeine

team: tbd! but i don’t mind friendly fires!

my characters: aside from one, all are humanoids! they exist within a dark fantasy/steampunk setting with healthy helpings of the occult, macabre, and otherwise potentially unsettling ✨on each of their profiles they have links to toyhouse pages with art storage and more info about their lore! references are a work in progress and a few characters i have hidden right now may be unhidden before art fight starts

who i’ll attack: in order of most likely to least likely! mutuals > characters on my hitlists > characters with themes i enjoy > beginner artists/people new to art fight/people with high attack ratios (hmu if that applies to you!) > people who attacked me first > bookmarks > everyone else

other notes: check out my socials for examples of my art! i occasionally dabble in animation, both frame by frame and tweening. if it means anything, i’m an autistic lgbtq+ disabled metalhead 😎. more about me on my site

examples of art range from late 2023 up to a few days ago
