Hi what are your favourite tumblr blogs? I need more people to follow! <3
HELLO! The first thing you need to know about me is I have exceptional taste and all the blogs below are spectacular and I could write an entire essay on why I love each and every one of them.
The second thing you need to know about me is I have a terrible memory and I'm sure I'm forgetting people, so I figured I'd try Olivia's method and do this semi-alphabetically. Since apparently Tumblr limits the number of tags I kept this to people I engage with semi-regularly and who 1) currently post a lot of pirates and 2) are at least fairly active on Tumblr.

'player character has amnesia' is one of those dull tropes that i/we collective accept because it's so damn functional at explaining
a) how a character is so damn basic that they barely know how to hold a gun/swing a sword despite presumably having lived in this world for at least 20 years
b) why their personality can be so flexible that they'll do do anything from 'save every puppy in their path' to 'go out of their way to murder orphans'
but the only game i've ever played it where it TRULY works is Disco Elysium
game went 'PC has amnesia. why? because he went on a drug fueled black-out and his self-hatred became so strong that he literally wiped his whole brain clean. completely. he doesn't even remember what country he's in.' it then went on to say, 'every single moment he's having like a 20 way conversation with the fractured elements of his psyche. even things as simple as "don't lick spilled beer off the counter in this hotel" requires his electrochemistry to duke it out with his volition. he failed a skill check not to piss himself.'
this character has brain damage and it SHOWS

Macy!! Hi!!
Thoughts on YQHBR Ian booping Mickey? <3
DRISH! HI!!!
boy oh boy do i have thoughts. in fact, i even wrote a little something about it 😉 i give you, YQHBR: boop edition
**
Mickey stretches, twists his torso and legs like he’s wringing out a sponge. Bleary eyes blink awake, squinting against the sunlight beaming through his window.
He sighs. Good morning.
It’s April 1st. The day of fools. He already feels like a fool, if he’s being honest, every day of his life. But that’s something he can sort through later. Right now he has some catching up to do.
He rolls over in bed and grabs his laptop where it rests on the dresser. He pulls it into his lap, flipping open the screen and waiting for it to light up. When it does, it’s less than a minute before he’s logged into tumblr.
What….what the fuck?
There’s something new on his screen, right at the very top. It isn’t an ad, at least he doesn’t think so. He clicks it, hesitant, and nothing happens.
Hm. Strange.
He decides to consult the one tumblr expert he knows.
fcku-up: what the fuck is this thing on my dash
eternitysgate: good morning to you too, sunshine
It’s been a week and a half since they’d started talking. They were friends now — not IRL, but something close — and talked nearly every day. It was becoming an integral and beloved part of Mickey’s daily routine.
Ian had been on tumblr longer than anyone Mickey knew. Except maybe Cassie. But he wanted to talk to Ian.
eternitysgate: it’s called boop
eternitysgate: i think it’s an april fools thing
eternitysgate: they do something like this almost every year
eternitysgate: one year you could spam people’s pages with digital crabs
fcku-up: crabs?
eternitysgate: yep. little orange crabs
fcku-up: lovely
fcku-up: so what do i do?
eternitysgate: click “opt in”
Mickey does as he’s told. Waits. A few minutes later, he checks his notifications.
eternitysgate, staysmashed, oliviasmiddlepart, and 6 others boop boop boop
He takes a screenshot, crops it, and sends it to Ian.
fcku-up: explain
eternitysgate: lmao
eternitysgate: who else booped you?
Mickey checks. Cassie twice, Victor, Liv, Zoe, and Ian 4 times.
fcku-up: you, mostly
eternitysgate: excellent 😇
eternitysgate: now you boop back
fcku-up: this is silly
eternitysgate: boop me back, bitch 👊🏻
fcku-up: 🙄
eternitysgate: go to my blog, click the little paw. but don’t accidentally unfollow me or i’ll cry for a thousand years
fcku-up: 🖕🏻
Mickey clicks on Ian’s username and opens his blog. There, in the navigation section, is a little orange paw. He clicks it.
You’re about to boop eternitysgate
And then, below it, in a purple oval,
boop
He sighs. Clicks it. A tiny green box shows up at the bottom of the screen, altering him to the fact that his boop had been sent through.
eternitysgate: BOOP BOOP BITCH
fcku-up: you are a child
eternitysgate: I AM A GOD
eternitysgate: you don’t understand mick, i’ve been doing this for an hour and a half and i’ve never felt more alive
fcku-up: happy for you
eternitysgate: oh come on, you know you love it
eternitysgate: now go boop cassie back or she’ll come whining to me about it
fcku-up: FINE 🙄
**
It’s been two hours and, much like Ian, Mickey has never felt more alive. He’s been booping almost the entire time, his meter ticking up, up, up. He’s booping friends, mutuals, strangers, people he’s seen in his notifications and people he’s never seen before in his life. Anyone and everyone.
He and Ian are in what the user base has declared a “boop war” — flooding each other with boops, not caring if the other person boops back first. It’s madness and Mickey can’t stop laughing.
There are memes now. Viral posts made mere minutes ago. He’s never seen anything like it, never been a part of anything like it.
eternitysgate: boop me again and i’ll fly to chicago and boop you IRL
fcku-up: is that a threat or a promise?
eternitysgate: both
Mickey bites back a grin.
eternitysgate: do you think they’re gonna keep this around after the day is done?
fcku-up: idk, maybe
fcku-up: part of me hopes they do
eternitysgate: it would be a never-ending war
eternitysgate: wake up every morning, ride into battle
fcku-up: eventually you’d admit defeat
eternitysgate: HA! not likely
It goes on like that for hours. They talk for the entire day. It isn’t all about boops, little tidbits slip in between the cracks – what did you have for lunch? how’s your sister? do you have to work tonight? – but the main focus is this inane game they’re playing, this innate sense of bonding they’re experiencing with each other and everyone else.
Mickey can’t help but feel like he’s a part of something, finally. In this game, and in the grand scheme of things. He has friends. Mutuals. People that want to engage with him. Acknowledge him.
To see and be seen.
The sun set ages ago. Mickey is beneath the covers, laptop on his thighs. He boops Cassie, then Liv. Then goes and super boops Ian, followed by an evil boop. He wishes there was something higher than an evil boop, but alas. He decides to send another.
eternitysgate: stop evil booping me you bastard
fcku-up: never shoulda told me to opt in, bitch
eternitysgate: god i’m gonna miss this
fcku-up: they might keep it
eternitysgate: in case they don’t, i just want to say – it’s been a pleasure booping with you 🫡
Mickey smiles. Rolls his eyes. Can’t help but find Ian, as always, painfully endearing.
fcku-up: you too, nerd

I know I’ve seen it somewhere before (most likely here on tumblr) but i AM obsessed with the idea of a muppets version of good omens where the human characters are all played by muppets and aziraphale and crowley are played by humans who are very clearly controlling muppet versions of themselves as their corporations but the muppets only ever directly address the muppet corporations. as far as they can see aziraphale and crowley are also only muppets
moreover I am EXTRA obsessed with the idea that aziraphale and crowley. also keep up the muppeteering when alone with each other. their muppets are their corporations how they interact with the earth and they interact with each other while within these corporations. but when you can literally see their true (human) forms looming over their dinky little flesh (felt) bodies it adds a new level of hilarity
I cant tell which would be funnier: if, when talking to each other, they looked each other dead in the eyes while making their muppets also look at each other, or if they ALSO pretended the other was only a muppet and utterly ignored their true human forms
that being said I think for the drunk scene they should be slugging back actual glasses of wine in one hand and just very sloppily controlling their muppet selves with the other. the muppets have little fake glasses of wine too obvi
with tracy aziraphale just takes over as her muppeteer she just sometimes moves and talks on her own. all the other angels and demons are just humans but when on earth the angels have muppets and the demons have really shitty hand puppets. they just stand there holding the muppets/puppets they dont make them move and act. aziraphale and crowley are thought to be very weird and creepy for doing so with theirs
the horsepersons…. I think they start with muppets only but you can see there’s sticks or wires or whatever controlling their limbs. and them when they start to come into their power suddenly they’re being controlled by a person. and when they go full Horsepersons Of The Apocalypse they’re fully human (in form). except for death. death is identical to tv canon bc he’s the one who hides his true nature the least. and he’s creepier that way
with adam? I think he’s just an uncomfortably human looking muppet. his face is more normally proportioned. his felt is a very human beigey tan. his hands are uncomfortably dextrous like the swedish chef’s. maybe when he comes into his powers he starts looking less and less like a muppet and more and more like a human until it culminates in something dead center in the uncanny valley for both humans and muppets. and then after he tells satan to fuck off he suddenly looks almost perfectly muppet normal with only a twinge of almost-human-y since he still has at least Some powers
in terms of the muppet casting I have no idea who should be whom jdjdbdkd maybe miss piggy for anathema and kermit for newt, mostly bc they’re arguably the main human (adult) characters and it’s funny to me to call a frog “newt”. however this version does not include the all-but-onscreen sex scene okay we do not need to see that. it fades to black just like in the book thank you ❤️
also to be clear all the angels and demons and in particular aziraphale and crowley are all still dressed like in canon. when their wings show up their human true form also has wings. crowley puts on sunglasses on his human self before digging out a tiny pair of muppet sized ones and putting it in his muppet hand to put on his muppet face. yknow. stuff like that
