if i was born like twenty years ago i would have became a lawyer and advertised myself as a men's rights fighter protecting men from their evil gold digging hysterical wives so johnny depp would hire me as a part of his legal team and i'd fumble his case SO badly he would get life sentence or capital punishment with some luck and the world would be free

It happened again. I haven’t even started the Traum chapter yet.
Me, Single Summon in the Traum Banner for Don Quixote (4*) at work. Chanting in my head: *Don Quixote, Don Quixote, Don Quixote-*
My Mind over the chanting: *Ruler*
Me in my head: *Do- What? No! DON QUIXOTE, DON QUIXOTE, DON QUIXOTE*
FGO: -Gold Card appears-
Me in my head: DON QUI-
FGO: -Flips to Ruler-
Me in my head: *wat*
FGO:
Me in my head: *It is the Astolfo summon all over again*
———
Fun fact, I did not even know that this clown is Ruler Moriarty. When the fanart of him came out in JP, I had 100% no idea who that was and thought he looked silly. Now that I know who this is because of NA. I guess I should try summoning Grandpa Moriarty now just to torment Sherlock.

one of the stupidest things about supernatural is that they never taught jack to shoot. little guy is immune to basically everything while you two guys are very much human and vulnerable. same thing for cas, sometimes he uses shotguns against leviathans and ghosts I think but I can't picture him with a gun in hand. everytime there's a shooting situation they should've sent cas and jack or some bullet-immune ally. also typical fight sam-dean-cas against demons they should've given the demon knife to cas instead of sam because even if his enemy took it they wouldn't be able to hurt him

General Decrease in Social Media Interaction, Not Just Reblog to Like Ratios
I see posts about reblog to like ratio all the time, and I 100% agree that the reblog to like ratio on Tumblr has significantly decreased over the decade...
But I feel like it really isn't just Tumblr- it's social media in general. The same problem is on DeviantART with view to favorite to comment ratios... with comments equating to a reblog (or "interaction")
Take popular DA artist Griffsnuff. Sampling 20 random images from 2023, 2015, and 2010 and noting their averaged comment count:
(rounded up)
2010: 208
2015: 44 (78% decrease from 2010)
2023: 11 (75% decrease from 2015, 94% decrease from 2010)
Taking someone less popular but who recalls an avid community growing up- me:
2010: 3
2015: 0.75 (75% decrease from 2010)
2023: 0.7 (90% decrease from 2015, 76% decrease from 2010)
These are only two examples, but between a super popular DA artist and a nobody, there's a pretty consistent 75%-78% drop in interaction rate between 2010 and 2015, with another sharp decrease 7 years after that.
With Tumblr's reblog to like ratio also sharply dropping, it's possible the same can be said for other social sites, that "passive" interaction (liking/thumbs up/hearting) has overtaken "active" interaction (commenting/sharing/reblogging). An exception is possibly TikTok with its remixing feature which works, in a way, as a transformative response to the original content, and is baked into the app's culture... but I don't know what remix-to-like ratio it has, and TikTok doesn't exactly have videos from 2010 to reference for a then-and-now comparison.
Regardless, this kind of insane decrease in active interaction warrants more serious study from academics as a social phenomenom, to assess how legitimate it is and hypothesize the reasons (the algorithm? culture? attention span? over stimulation? marketing?) Because an artist like griffsnuff who is more popular than ever at 98k watchers and 13M views having a 94% decrease in comment rates after 13 years sounds... fake. Shouldn't interaction be going up...?
If someone at 98k can't even keep consistent interaction how does anyone with a smaller audience expect to get any? (No wonder why even at 870 followers on Tumblr, 65 on DA, and 95 on Twitter I see squat come from it)
