Blog Issues and Changes

First off, thank you for your follows.
Second off, I hope that you see this.

There have been some issues with my blog where it’s not showing up in any tags, even my own personal tags are suddenly empty and showing nothing in them. I don’t show up in any tags, even under recent stuff, that I have been able to find. When you hover over me, you can’t even see my posts where it usually shows your recent or top posts. (I am on pc so… yeah)

I haven’t been flagged or marked as NSFW or anything like that. Even my wife noticed that if you search for me, you won’t find me. I checked my visibility settings and they are turned so that people can find me, so that wasn’t the issue either.

I have had to contact support about this, which sucks, I haven’t heard anything back. Call it a hunch but it might take a while. So I have made another side blog for my fanfictions at least for now. Until@staff hopefully, get this situated.

If you’d like, you can follow my new blog:tiedyedragonwrites
I’d love to see some of you there with the support you have given me here. I already have two new fanfictions to post.

“Oh good, you’re all here.”

Jay looked up from his cards. “Well, yeah. We’re all playing Single, of course we’re all here.”

“Except for me.” Zane chimed in from the galley bar nearby.

“Except for Zane,” He agreed. Then, Jay gestured to the rest of the ninja, sitting on their mismatched couch and chairs, cards in their hands or set (upside down, of course) on their ratty old coffee table. “We’re in the middle of a game right now, but Lloyd can deal you in for the next one.”

“Uhm.” Cole knit his hands together. “Well, maybe… I. Had something to tell you all.”

“Is it who’s going to win? Because it’s me.” Nya smirked, holding up her five card hand.

“Cheater.” Kai hissed, from behind his massive collection of multicolored cards.

“You’re just mad because I’m better at this from you.”

“Wait!” Lloyd shouted, offense obvious in his tone. “Nya, you’ve been cheating this whole time and you didn’t think to help your little brother?”

“If I was—“

Jay cut Nya off, bumping her with his shoulder. “Guys, I think Cole wanted to tell us something…?”

The rest of the ninja’s eyes went wide, and Cole was met with a round of apologies before the room went quiet again.

“Oh.” Cole took a breath in, held it for one, two, three, four, five, before exhaling. “I just wanted to tell you all… I’m gay. I’ve always liked dudes, and it’s something I kept from you because I was scared. I think it’s about time I’m finally honest with you all, because — why are you all quiet?”

“Cole,” Kai started. “Why would you be scared of us knowing you’re gay?”

The directness of his question startled Cole out of any nervousness he had, even if just for the moment. “What? Kai, you know homophobia exists—“

“First Master, not that, not that—“ The fire elemental shook his head. “Cole, I thought you knew we were all queer too.”

“Huh?”

Kai pointed to himself. “Cole, I’m trans and bisexual. You’ve never walked in on me whenever I do my T shots? Like, everyone has. At least once.”

He wracked his brain, trying to think of anytime he’d seen something like that, maybe he’d dismissed it as something else? Cole looked away, face growing warm. “No?”

Nya, beside her brother, held her uncarded hand up. “I’m bi too.”

“Me too!” Jay chirped. “And trans! Kinda!”

“Trans boy, and ace… something? Not sure yet.” Lloyd waved, completing the circle.

“I am also a part of the LGBT community, as I am pansexual.” A pause, and then Zane spoke again. “Pixal is as well: she is non-binary.”

Jay’s brows furrowed, and he stroked his chin with his hand, cards and all. “I could’ve sworn you went to Pride with us last year…?”

“When did you go?”

“Uh, June?”

“Yeah June. When in June, bluebell?”

“Shit, when was it, the fifteenth?” He looked to the rest of the group, satisfied when Lloyd and Nya nodded back. “Yeah, the fifteenth.”

“I was visiting my dad that weekend.”

“Oh.” The lightning elemental shrugged. “Well, you missed a hell of a weekend.”

Kai stopped suddenly, eyes wide with a realization. “Wait. Your dad, he isn’t…”

Cole blinked. “What? No. He was fine with me coming out as gay. It was me not being a dancer that was the problem. He works in theatre, of course he’d be okay with not-straight, not-cis people.”

“Out of all his problems, at least he isn’t homophobic.” Nya hummed, leaning back.

“At least.” Cole echoed. Then, he paused for a moment, taking it in before sitting down on the couch. Jay patted his back reassuringly, letting the gears turn in the Black Ninja’s head as he sat next to him.

“Am I dealing you in next round?” Lloyd eventually broke the silence, gesturing to their abandoned game.

“Yeah, sure.” Cole peered over Jay’s shoulder, resting his chin on it. “I’ll just help Jay for this one.”

The lightning elemental hissed. “You will do nothing of the sort, boulder-brains.”

Cole only hummed, and then proceeded to pester Jay about which cards he should be playing: deciding to insist on only the threes, just to bug him. It didn’t cost Jay the win in any way, but Jay didn’t hesitate to blame Cole — like he would want Team Aftershock to lose.

It was only halfway through their next game, when Cole suddenly hid his face behind his cards. “First Master. How did I not notice? Jay, you’re literally wearing a bracelet with the bi colors right now.”

Kai snorted. “And you’re supposed to be the perceptive one.”

“Oh fuck you!” Cole stuck his tongue out at the Red Ninja. “Lloyd, give Kai a draw three in my honor?”

Lloyd grinned, sharp fangs and all. “I would love nothing more.”

“HEY! BETRAYAL!”
