Going through my Cosaldo posts and I had some excellent thoughts 10/10 will be thinking again

Grinding away at my Medici fics like you WILL be written

i have a special love for character with great rhetoric skills but poor communication skills. They can convince anyone. Can hold a speech at the drop of a dime. Can't talk about their feelings worth a damn though.

New Cosaldo chapter is up after a bit of a delay!

[oldmanpazzi]

Writing some dialogue for the new chapter and keep having to delete things bc Cosimo isn’t emotionally intelligent enough to say them lmao

Hey kid, sorry I killed your dad with a huge sword. The cycle of violence is super fucked up isn't it. Hopefully it can stop with you.

it’s like no one wants to fucking take their bloody hands and cup their lover’s face, making a streak of red on their cheek with their thumb before passionately kissing anymore

I love you my 0 notes masterpiece posts

[oldmanpazzi]

Returning to this to just ramble that this song has all the emotions of broken trust and abandoned loyalties, the hurt, the pain, the anger, the regret that define Cosimo and Rinaldo’s relationship throughout the season

It’s everything to me

This is the absolute nichest post I’ll ever make but Hol Voltál by AWS is absolutely a Cosaldo song omg like I’m begging you if you ship it at all go look up a translation of the lyrics

You know, an interesting tumblr transformation that's happened gradually, and which I've seen no one talk about: ask-culture has essentially dropped off to nothing.

By which I mean, asks used to be WAY more of the tumblr economy. They used to be more common to send, and receive, and see. They were integral to the collaborative, forum-like behavior of old tumblr communities, not even to speak on the HUGE number of ask-blogs that used to exist to only be interacted with in ask-form.

I'm not saying this in a vying-for-attention way but instead in an observational way: I used to get way way more asks in like 2015, even with a fraction of my follower count. I wonder if it's due to the homogenization of social media sites? There's a lot more of this divide between "content creator" and "consumer" instead of just a bunch of peer blogs who would talk to each other. "Asks" aren't really a thing on twitter, are they? And as I understand it, the closest thing to an "ask" on instagram or tiktok would be a creator screenshotting some comment and responding to it in a new reel or video or whatever those content mediums are. Are asks just too tumblr-specific? Is that aspect of the site culture dying out as more and more people converge to using all their social media sites in the same way?
