f.a.q & personal stances

my stance on adult pacifiers.

- a few unique tags i use on my blog:
ishy pishy: my own personal, self made content.
postish: posts that i did not create, i.e. pictures i obtained from stores and stock image websites, reposts of videos i did not take, etc.
queueish: just the tag for a queued post.
ish talks: posts where i answer questions, address everyone that follows me, or where i explain something that someone has asked me.if you want any other odd tags explained, drop an ask or send a pm. i’m happy to elucidate.~ ~ ~ ~ here are some general questions i get kinda often, answered! ~ ~ ~ ~
- Q: where can I find all active requests?
A: here!!
- Q: hey did you receive my ask?
A: please refer to the list of all active requests or to the archive with every ask I’ve answered!
- Q: do you take requests for original characters (oc’s)?
A: yes! here’s my rules!
- Q: what’s the difference between a moodboard and a stimboard? does it depend on the context of the creator or intention?
A: the main difference is that stimboards have stim gifs (slime, soap cutting, drink pouring, hand flapping, etc) and moodboards are mostly if not all comprised of still images meant to convey an aesthetic or mood of a character, show, or concept!
- Q: what is a leftover stimboard?
A: tumblr user @helium-stims can be attributed to starting this trend, I believe! essentially, a leftover stim is a gif I ended up not using in gifsets or stimboards. i figured I would stop wasting my leftover gifs, hence a leftover stim stimboard!
- Q: how do i download videos to gif? how do i make gifs? how do i credit sources?
A: please see my advice tag or this post for gif making, this post about how to download videos for gif making, and this post about crediting sources. there are more posts in the advice tag about my processes with gif / stimboard making, general troubleshooting when a gif gives you issue, finding videos to gif, etc. it's a useful tag for a new stim blogger learning the ropes!
- Q: i thought you didn't take requests for real people?
A: please see this post!
- Q: how do I find your first q&a?
A: by searching this tag!
- Q: where can I learn more about you?
A: by searching this tag! I also do ask games kinda often, so you can search this tag for that stuff! or this one, if you wanna see all my self made content!

A: yes, click here!
