Season 2 episode 7 is great!!! People just don't like character-driven stories anymore. And they made it pretty clear that El's arc is about finding her home with her friends.

to those of you who are moving here from tiktok, from someone whos used both tiktok and tumbr for years...

1. DO NOT censor your posts

dont censor sex, abuse, suicide, dont censor it. we dont have censors like tiktok does, you wont be banned for talking about these things and tagging them properly helps people avoid them (also, we dont have shadowbanning here)

2. we dont really have an algorithm

you follow who you follow, and you see posts from who you follow or what you search. the 'for you page' is basically useless here. this also brings me to my next two points

3. dont crosstag

we get it, on tiktok you have to crosstag for reach, but thats not really a thing here. just tag your posts properly (also posters often leave more info about the post in the tags!! and when you reblog stuff you can leave your own notes in the tags, kind of like the old "repost comments" on tiktok)

4. dont expect to go viral/be famous

"viral" isnt really a thing on here (at least not for the average blogger). your posts will probably get 2-10 likes and you wont get nearly as many followers than on tiktok. thats just how tumblr is

5. blocking is your best friend

tiktok is VERY discussion based, and while tumblr is much more discussion based than other social medias, its still not a good place for ragebait/discourse. dont interact, itll make your experience worse in the end, just block and move on

6. you cant go into someone elses house and start rearranging their furniture

this is tumblr, not tiktok. dont diss old tumblr users for how they use the site or try to change them, thats like going into someone elses house and trying to rearrange their furniture. we've been here longer and we're familiar with the site and its culture, either find your niche, adapt, or find a different app

Study where i tried using the subject from one reference and lighting from another. The horse was in very overcast light but I wanted to do some blown out highlights. It was fun!

i have such a low threshold for bullshit now that i'm seconds from telling this woman on the crochet subreddit to leave her husband, even though i know it won't end well for me.

she made him a wool hat and stressed repeatedly to him that it couldn't be machine washed. he washed it anyway, destroying her work. she's trying to play it off like a funny anecdote, how it was sweet how sorry and sad he was in the aftermath, but then let it slip this kind of thing has happened multiple times/continues to happen in their relationship, because he refuses to accept her knowledge as a textile artist and constantly ruins the nice things she makes or buys for either of them. i think he should be killed.

crawling back to this tumblr account after the tiktok ban feels like driving back to my old home in the countryside,, gently wiping away the cobwebs and the dust that's settled in my absence,, nothing changed, nothing out of place,, a memory of a forgotten era; frozen in time,,

a series of unfortunate events is really the blueprint for characters doomed by the narrative like i think that series changed my brain chemistry forever… the title tells you how the story will end and the author repeatedly tries to warn you away but still you pick up the book. the first sentence is that it’s a tragedy and you keep reading anyway.. you read through the whole story and it’s terrible and tragic and unfortunate and then after you’ve stayed up late reading it under your covers with a flashlight, you go to your school library as soon as class is over and check out the next book in the series because you need to know what happens even though really, you already know. the end is right there in the title, it’s there in every page .. before the story even begins you know it’s a tragedy and you read it anyway and—

It like JUST recently clicked for me how insane this was

Like I didn't really get it before until I did the thing where I picture myself doing it and can't fathom it.

My girlfriend and I are fighting, maybe even gonna break up. I am in the wrong. She leaves on a dangerous trip. I find out she's in danger, then am given a note from her. It throws my words back in my face.

I am thinking on it so much that the next day I am STILL sitting rereading the single sentence, single word over and over again and can't even listen to what my best friend is saying.

Again, this note is so important to me that I've been staring at it since last night. I woke up this morning and grabbed it to stare at it some more.

My best friend says "you don't have to reread that so many time, it's inactionable". That helps me feel a little better. I say "yeah. yeah, you're right."

Then, what I do with the note that I have kept rereading a single sentence off of for a full day, is - not even walk over to the trash - but CRUMPLE IT UP IN A BALL IN MY HAND and throw it in the garbage.

Not worth the effort to get up to put it in the trash. Not a big emotional moment. Throwing trash is almost a game. And crumpling a note is something almost aggressive.

Whatever the energy is here, it's not right. He took this note seriously. He came back to and reread it. But, even if this isn't about El herself, it would still be about Will. Will's words convinced him SO much so IMMEDIATELY, saying 'looking at that won't help' that he went 'you're right, I will immediately close the door to ever look at it again' when you cared so much about it before that you were fully ignoring him until that point.

Throwing it away is a commitment. That's an "I'm not coming back to this." With how much he had been looking at it...he could have just put it in his pocket.

I understand the setup of the government finding it. But he could have just put it down. He could have left in on the fucking bed. Or even, like I said, walked over, taken a quick breath and dropped it in.

I hide the part of me that needs to be loved the most and then crave to be loved as a whole.
