Our fandom forbearers did NOT suffer through Anne Rice, strikethrough, and other bullshit for fucking ACOTAR and Harry Potter fans to fucking ruin it for all of us by selling fanfiction. I am not losing novel length yaoi epics because some of you don't know how to act in fannish spaces and yes I do blame the booktokification of fanfic but I also blame those of you that treat fandom like content to consume and not a community to engage with.
actually hilarious that colin bridgerton returned to london absolutely determined to be in his slut era. he said if there is one thing i am it is a whore. and then one (1) kiss with penelope later he was like neverMIND i am a MARRIED MAN i am MONOGAMOUS life is about LIFELONG PARTNERSHIP ACTUALLY
watching bridgerton and obviously there were a lot of things wrong with the way socializing has worked in the past, but honestly the idea of a "calling hour" is so appealing. office hours for friendship. you can show up unannounced at my home between 1 and 3pm. you must leave by 3pm. I may give you a pastry. lets bring that back
With the casting of season two of PJO coming up, I keep seeing people talk about who they want for certain roles like Tyson, Thalia, Silena, etc., but I think we’re forgetting about the most obvious and important casting decision. By that, I mean I will never be truly happy until Jack Black is cast as Blackjack. I genuinely couldn't care less about the casting; I trust the casting director with my life, but if I don’t get to hear the voice of Jack Black call Walker Scobell "boss,” I don’t think I’ll ever be truly satisfied. If Lin Manuel Miranda can be Hermes, I fully believe we can get Jack Black
This might go out to the void but I just wanna say April fool’s on tumblr has always solidified the thought that here is a lovely place to be. This boop idea is just brilliant. Cute, fun, non-offensive, creative, and social.
The most notable aspect of it to me is how consensual they make it. First of all you need to actively opt in. No one can boop you unless you’ve given an obvious consent. And then you pretty much can’t boop someone accidentally. They ask you to confirm again before sending a boop. They tally your given and received boops but no one can see the numbers but you so it’s in no way a competition. And THEN you can opt out anytime when it gets too much for you!
Once again, when no social platforms get you, you know tumblr gets you. (They might not always do but you know they try.) Thanks @staff 🫶
