but ever in the noonlight

noonlight-stims’ links page

frequently asked questions

What are your name and pronouns?
I have more names than some Tolkien characters, but Noonlight works fine. They/them, please.
How do you make gifs?
I use ezgif (and I mostly don’t mess with coloring and similar, I just find footage I like the look of already.) See this post.
How do you make stimboards?
See this post.
What is a visual stim?
See this post.
Is it okay to spam reblog?
Go ahead! I have notifications turned off and I don’t check my activity, so I probably won’t even notice, but if I do notice I find it flattering.
Is it okay to tag your posts as aesthetic?
Yes, it is. This blog is full of things that I, personally, find satisfying to look at; they’re supposed to be aesthetic!
What kinds of visual stims do you like?
Lots of them! Particular favorites include paint making, iridescence, timelapses, cake decoration, and the ocean.
Can I get a promo? Will you reblog my donation post?
Sorry, no; as a policy this blog doesn’t reblog promo or donation posts, and I try to keep reblogs that aren’t of my own posts to a minimum in general.

blog rules

  • I respond privately to most asks so as not to spam people’s dashboards, but if you particularly want an ask responded to privately or kept anonymous just tell me so.

  • I don’t answer discoursey asks unless I think it would be funny.

  • Feel free to spam like/reblog; I probably won’t notice but if I do I’ll think it’s sweet.

  • I don’t reblog donation posts. If you send me multiple messages asking me to reblog your donation post, I’ll answer the first and delete the rest.

  • I cannot use tone indicators and would prefer that you not use them with me. There’s nothing objectively wrong with them, this isn’t a discourse opinion, they just don’t work for me.

  • If requests are open, I will take stimboard requests based on pride flags, colors, general themes like “forests” or “sunsets,” types of stims, etc.

  • If requests are open, I may take requests for specific fictional characters, at my own discretion.

  • Even if requests are open, I will not take requests for fictional characters I have never heard of. I am aware that you have no way of knowing who I have or haven't heard of. Sorry.

  • Even if requests are generally open, I will not take requests for real people, homestuck, minecraft, body stims, or slime. This is not for discourse reasons and should not be taken as a discourse opinion.

  • I reserve the right to delete any ask or request for any or no reason.

reasons I might delete an ask

  • You sent that request when requests were closed

  • I don't know what or who that is

  • You were rude when you asked

  • The stims you asked for are nigh impossible to find

  • I have an idiosyncratic personal allergy to that show / comic / game / whatever

  • I have an idiosyncratic personal allergy to that type of stim

  • There was nothing wrong with the request but I have three papers and a problem set to do by Monday and the idea of adding another thing to my to-do list makes me want to scream

In general, I try to respond to asks and say “no” if I’m not going to do something, but because I am a human person with a limited amount of time and bandwidth this does not always happen. sorry!

dni

People I will block if I notice them include:

  • radical feminists (including but not limited to terfs)

  • trans exclusionists (including but not limited to terfs)

  • tankies (USSR stans, maoists, and apologists for the atrocities of communist regimes in general)

  • white supremacists

  • trad blogs

  • people who put NSFW in my comments or replies

I’m aware that this is unlikely to dissuade people from interacting with me. It’s not really meant to. It’s just a head’s up of who I will predictably block if I notice them, because I think that if you don’t want someone interacting with you it’s polite to tell them so.It is also not a comprehensive list of people I disagree with or disapprove of. It’s not a list of all my discourse stances, or even of all the discourse stances that are important to me. It’s just a list of people who it will bother me, personally, for my own idiosyncratic reasons, to see in my notes. Listing something does not mean I think they’re exactly as bad as white supremacists; not listing something does not mean I agree with them and think they’re great, or even that they’re harmless.I believe that DNI pages are not for listing all your opinions, and if I treated mine like a place to list all of my opinions, we’d be here all day. What they’re for is setting boundaries, and these are mine. If you have different boundaries than I have, that’s fine! But please extend me the same respect.
