don’t want to seem contradictory by saying twitter users are welcome here while also making fun of them and posting trying to keep them out, so just for clarification: twitter refugees are welcome. not the ones starting the wars. if you’re from twt and the posts trying to scare off twitter users (like this) don’t bother you, they’re probably not about you. you’re welcome here and feel free to ask questions about tumblr bc it can be confusing <3 if you’re from twt and those posts make you angry or want to start discourse, they are about you. please leave.
not to be serious or whatever but i think nov 5th went down like. That. bc of a few things: one the pandemic and the inherent derangedness of waking up and watching “unprecedented times” happen around you daily for the past nine months. two the election and the multi day pressure cooker of stress of constantly refreshing election news tabs and trying to keep your normal life (school work etc) going while the fate of american politics pretty much hangs in the balance and trump throws a fit on twitter. three the 15 year buildup of the cw’s hit show supernatural to the final season + the 11 of those years spent queerbaiting while tumblr did backflips through discourse circus rings about destiel + this show and ship being so big that everyone knew about it not just the fans. all of this leading up to the airing of 15x18 and the confession scene. castiel in love with dean. castiel goes to superhell. it just set everything off like a bomb. then the vine boom after vine boom of domino train information we kept getting. putin resigning. georgia goes blue. trump sues multiple states. supernatural trending over the election. people learning major political news via destiel screenshots. nevada. a whole bunch of other insane fandom news + rumors that started flying like dashcon 2.0 and the secret sherlock season (putin resigning also turned out to be a rumor but we thought it was real for a soild several hours). i think the internet just had no idea how to react that we collectively reached the next dimension. it was the most indescribable, hysterical outpouring of hilarity and togetherness ive ever experienced. when we say new emotions were invented that night we mean it. i miss it every single day
this is like if you woke up one day and there was a horse in your kitchen and the horse had a bunch of paparazzi following it and now your house is surrounded by paparazzi and there’s a horse in your kitchen
i have never killed the ender dragon but i could if i wanted. i don’t but i could if i did but i don’t because she is too beautiful. and not because i’m bad at minecraft. because but i could if i did but i don’t
obsessed w internet speak but specifically these two recent inventions:
1. statement (directly contradictory statement)
ie: “i’m normal now (lying)” or something like. “doing homework (scrolling tumblr).” it’s like a text version of looking directly at the camera. sarcasm but slightly to the left. amazing
2. wacky thought <- reactionary/self aware comment
it’s like?? the closest thing i can think of is movies where the characters break the fourth wall to pause the show and talk to you about it? like emperors new groove or lion king 1 1/2? self aware ironic kinda talk show-esque. whatever it is it’s brilliant.
love the way we’re bulldozing english keep it up team
hey guys quick reminder not to open discord links offering free gifts/nitro, even ones from your friends. i got this from a friend today and it looks pretty legit but it’s definitely a scam. my sister opened the link, and by the time she realized and tried to change her password, it had already locked her out. it also unfriends you from everyone in your friends list so it’s harder to quickly contact people after your hacked account sends the link to everyone you know, or to get back in touch with people if you lose your account. these are sneaky! don’t fall for em
