PART ONE | PART TWO

The abs are great. More than great, actually. In fact, they're all Wade thinks, dreams, and fantasizes about. All day, everyday, non-fucking-stop. The moment replays over and over in his fucked up noodle brain like a scratched record. He knows muscle memory is a thing, but what about salivatory memory?

Christ. He's gotta get a grip instead of getting hard.

But what about when Logan isn't flexing hard enough to rip his goddamn suit off?

Wade notices Logan becoming more relaxed around the apartment as the days pass. Adjusting to his new life, coming out of the bedroom earlier than he has to on days when he gets a turn to sleep on a real bed. It's Sofa City most of the time– which he really doesn't mind, he almost prefers it most of the time (since it's in clear sight of the front door) but Wade more often than not likes to insist they share his 'much-too-big-for-lil-old-me' twin XL mattress that's seen more stains than sex in the last year alone.

Logan's compromise is he'll take the bed and Wade the couch half the time. Alone. They're still working on the negotiations of said compromise, but the jury– Blind Al– is still out on recess.

Once he's more settled in, Logan learns that it's okay to kick off his boots and put his feet up. It's not often, but enough that Wade silently wishes he'd rest those big meaty calves on his lap instead. He's been needing a new weighted blanket and Adamantium-coated tibias and hairy legs are so in right now.

Logan doesn't know it, but Wade secretly plays 'ohmygodhetotallylookedatme' whenever he so much as catches a glimpse of Wade oggling at him in his peripherals. Wade can't help it when Broody and the Beast's ribbed white muscle shirt pulls taut against those deliciously plump pecs that he silently prays it'll burst off again. Or he'll rip it off. Or Logan will rip it off. For him.

A boy can dream.

It's especially hard to win at 'OMGHTLAM' when Logan accessorizes– AKA throwing on whatever flannel is in rotation out of the several he finds at the thrift store a few blocks over. Wade feels his throat tighten like his jeans do when Logan wears the forest green one. Really brings out his eyes.

And smile. And lips. And–

It's still summer, so on the hotter days, when sweat glistens on his brow and Wade desperately wishes to be the back of Logan's hand, the tank top comes off. All Logan's sweaty, gloriously muscular body has on is a wonderfully worn-in pair of jeans with the hem of black briefs poking out behind the denim waist.

Do they have AC? Yes. Because Wade would have to plan a funeral for Al if they didn't.

But when she's out and about, he likes to turn it off and let the New York heat wave run its course. Sure, it leaves him sticky and gross, but he'd rather be sticky and gross and hard when he can help it.

Luckily, Blind Al is gone for the whole weekend. Some girls trip or a drug mule job. Same difference.

Hypothesis: If he (Wade) turns off the AC, then they (Wade and Logan) will have no choice but to strip naked and end up sticky and gross and hard together!

That's what he was taught in middle school, right?

With the push of a button and a sprinkle of patience, Logan is splayed out on the couch in a matter of hours with a lukewarm beer in hand while fighting his eyelids from dozing off to some random war documentary. Sweat beads on his temples and there's a slight sheen to his skin from his biceps to the lower V pointing down to between his thighs. He chuckles every so often, mumbling things to himself between swigs of beer and shaking his head when the narrator gets something 'wrong.'

Wade busies himself in the kitchen but his eyes are permanently glued to his roommate. He doesn’t miss the way Logan's stomach rises and falls gently, the rock-hard six pack softening into rolling hills of muscle with a layer of dark hair covering as much surface area as immortal-like hormones will allow. Grown out beard, chops, and messy hair really throw the whole look together; very 2000s, if you ask Wade. His pecs look just as soft as a pair of titties, if not softer, and Wade knows it. He'd do anything to lay his perfect little head on Logan's chest. Maybe lick it too, if he's a good boy. 

Logan perks up suddenly from the couch.

Oh God did he say that out loud?

"Wade?"

Wade doesn't hear him. Can't hear him. Half-refuses to hear him, honestly. Daydreaming takes up a whole lotta brain power and this show isn't running itself. Economy, budget cuts, unprecedented times. You know the shtick. 

"Wade."

Nothing but a bead of drool comes out of Wade's mouth. 

Suddenly, there's a crash right behind Wade's head and now he's awake. He whips around to the ale-spattered wall behind him and back to Logan, who's now standing with claws drawn and chest heaving.

Wade swears he's blushing. 

Eyes wide and brow standing up straight like his good little soldier, Wade looks down at the counter before him to find a bloodbath of a scene: one hand's on a knife while the other spews blood all over the yellowed counter tops; there's remnants of a carrot that was finished five minutes ago, followed directly by remnants of fingers cut down to the last fucking knuckle and slice marks beginning down the back of his hand.

Wade holds up his spurting stump, gashed artery doing a spot-on impression of Ol' fucking Faithful.

"Oh. Huh. Thought I smelled something," he says, staring at his now-tingling hand. Baby fingers for the rest of the night were so worth the staring contest with Logan's beautiful body.

"Fuckin' idiot," Logan mutters, sheathing his claws and striding over to the hall closet to grab a towel. Wade's already stopped bleeding, but just because they might be immune to bloodborne pathogens doesn't mean Al is.

"Gah– get back, damn mutt." Logan shoos Dogpool out of the kitchen to prevent her from lapping up her papa's bodily fluids. He throws the towel in Wade's face and goes to grab the bleach out of the cupboard under the sink. Logan learned very quickly where to find it the first time this happened a month or two ago.

"Sorry baby, Mommy's got a boo-boo and Daddy's just trying to help," Wade coos at Dogpool. "You're too good to me, peanut. Someone oughta wife ya up before I do."

Logan responds with a scowl as he tosses the carrots out and tries to keep the counter from staining. "Why th'fuck did you do that?"

"It was time for a new hand. Old one was so last season."

Wade mops up the blood from his arm and wraps the towel onto his head like he's just gotten out of the shower. Holding up his regenerating stump, he poses like a cover model for Vogue.

"Whatcha think, peanut?" He strikes another pose. "Is this doing anything for ya, big boy?"

Logan grunts as he tosses a wad of paper towels into the trash can. He turns to leave the kitchen, eyes flicking to Wade. It's the quickest once over ever, but Wade sees it. Commits it to memory while he pulls a Flashdance in a chair from the kitchen table and follows Logan's denim-clad ass as it sways off to the bathroom. 

"'M gonna go shower. Don't wait up,” Logan calls before shutting the door and locking it. 

Sighing, Wade looks down at his crotch, pants tent pitched higher and tighter than a first-timer on Everest.

Good thing he's ambidextrous.

Andy Barclay x Witch Reader dating headcanons

Warnings: No proofreading and very little edition (written on mobile)

Notes: Originally, this was going to be a silly, funny cute oneshot inspired on sitcoms ( Mostly " Bewitched" with a bit of " Alf")

In the campy style of Chucky, i wanted to do something funny involving Andy. Since in canon he is constantly suffering, my idea was to bring some of the funny side of the franchise to him.

I realized i don't have time to write it like a longer thing, but want to work on the idea, so i'm doing it as a headcanons list.

Tags: @losersclubisms

- Your first date was his first success in online dating. No matter how weird and off putting he would accidentally appear to be, you weren't getting scared.

- That alone was a factor Andy should have considered more cautiously, but after so many failures he was just happy that you weren't running away.

- He already had the Chucky head arround that time, and he loved to tease him about how dumb he found you. Not only for staying through entire dates with Andy, but overall.

- Through your pictures, bits of conversation he would hear or whatever his captor would tell about you, Chucky got that impression. You were a nice person, in his mindset, really dumb.

- " She's cute..." He would randomly comment at his enemy. "... I give her five minutes."

" ... Before i creep her away in our next date?" Andy would replicate. " That's not going to happen, i think she likes me for real. "

" Five minutes before finishing her off and that only if i'm feeling generous. She feels to me like the kind of dumb bitch that goes like ' oww, cute doll!', then picks me up and makes it really easy for me to stab the heart."

" I don't think you can do that anymore... Can you?" The man would tease back. " C'mon, Chucky! Go pick the knife, go for it!... Ríght, you almost forgot you don't have a body and can't ruin this for me."

The doll would avoid any incriminating commentary on that topic, but would still find a way to drive him mad.

" I can make gagging noises loud enough for her to think you have a torture chamber and run the hell away from here before you get to fuck her. "

- The first stages of your relationship were all about you both falling in love while mutually hidding a fundamental personal secret to each other. While you were trying to pass as the most normal ordinary mortal, Andy was keeping the doll head hidden from you.

- The thing is that because you are lying at the same time and panicking strong about being discovered, your lies reach semi believable combinations like some chaotic puzzle.

- Everything goes great precisely because neither of you want to scare the other away and apply pretty much the same strategies to hide your secrets.

- For example, someday you would be staying at the cabin and after discovering with horror that Andy never cooks for himself you promise to prepare an elaborated meal.

- He wants to get romantic, tries to sneak in the kitchen so he can help you out and steal some kisses on the process, but you stop him before he would see you were speeding things up with magic.

- " Wait... did you hear that?" You would comment as a distraction while covering your own tracks, unaware of how alarming that was for the sake of his own lies. " That weird noise over there "

Panicking over the remote posibility of you discovering Chucky, Andy would pass to focus in his clumsy mix of justifications.

" Noise? What noise? Don't worry, babe. I'm sure it must be a wild animal. I'm going to check it out for you."

- That's how this very paranoid man with a deep hatred for magic gets to be absolutely unaware of being dating (and falling for) a witch while she knows nothing about his strange magical pet.

- By the moment in which he starts to tell you little bits of truth about Chucky, mostly about what happened when he was a kid, you are terrified about confessing yourself.

- You are madly in love and don't want to loose him, fearing he would leave you out of thinking you want to manipulate him for evil just like that man did inside his favorite doll.

- So you vow out of love to stop using magic in order to keep your relationship safe, attempting to live a normal life. Since you don't want to be hidding from him all the time, the best solution you initially find is to stop.

- What doesn't go quite well because there is always something. Either because you wanna help out or you want someone new to like you, people would get exposed to magic behind their backs.

- When you meet Karen, being super nervous about that important meeting, you wanted to make her an introduction gift but nothing on sight during the shopping trip was convincing to you. Instead of some normal thing, you gave her a plant you grew by yourself.

- It felt appropiate to you because it was a meaningfull gesture, but the plant would grow with the speed and strength you gave it. Beautifully, but abnormally, leaving your boyfriend's mother wondering why was yours so different from other normal plants she has.

- In the same spirit, you would add lots of mini magical details into your boyfriend's life without him noticing.

- He commented you about a headache he had and after a few minutes of telling you, it is gone. Whenever you comfort him after a nightmare he ends up sleeping like a baby.

- His life seems suddenly ríght and he has no idea of why, guesses only that is because of having you on it but thinks about that in the romantical way.

- It comes from your love, but the magic you do is what helps him get those extraordinary results.

- You love Kyle, but she is your biggest fear. Andy does not find that concerning because he thinks you find her scary for being too normal when in fact it is the other way arround.

- You know she is the most fitting candidate to end up exposing you and covering up in front of her requires great extra effort.

- Although you act a bit clumsy arround her, she loves to see how happy her brother is with you and that plays some suspension of disbelief in your favor.

- Just when Andy starts to relax, distracted by that happiness he experiences with you, he finds out about Nica and the Chucky clones. His rushed trip to the mental hospital happens and he is back in the game.

- At first, he considers leaving you for what he believes would be your own safety, but he can't get himself to do it.

- He loves you so much and wants for once to believe that peraphs once the last Chucky would stop breathing, he would be free to be with you.

-Despite he kept you out of it to all costs, you notice his unusual dissapearances and worry a lot for him.

-What caused you to accidentally reveal yourself in the most shocking context possible: ríght after finding him as a hostage of Chucky.

- Contributing to his escape forces you to do magic in front of him. it's not like you can keep him knocked out Merlin style for a while to defeat the bad guy.

- In the meantime, Andy has went through the whole spectrum of emotions. Freaking out because he can't understand how you got there and is afraid the psycho doll will kill you. Confussion when you seem more preoccupied for him than anything and a blatant shock when you untie him without touching him.

- Just once he kills his enemy and you both are safe he gets to feel relief, but he finds himself then full of questions that you answer while begging forgiveness.

- " I'm so sorry! I know i should have told you before, but this awfull man who ruins your life made it so hard." You apologised to him inmediately. " You have all the ríght to hate magic, but it's part of who I am and i didn't want to loose you."

"... You travelled all the way here just because you got scared after i didn't came back on time... and somehow you found me through a spell? " He summarized part of your previous explantions. " How can i stay mad at you? You got into the hideout of a serial killer just because i was late for dinner."

-He is the man you want to marry, but you can't help fearing for what could happen once he would meet your mother, who doesn't shy away from her hate whenever you talk about him.

-Part of you wonders if she would be capable of an alliance with Chucky just to get rid of him.

-Still, you remain more hopefull than before once your boyfriend becomes aware of who you are.

-Your love is stronger than ever, you feel no one can separate you despite they could try.

just grumbling about the tumblr posting experience.

I've been back on tumblr for a few years now and I'm still an annoyed and flailing mess when it comes to actually using the editor and making my vid or fic posts. there's always something that goes wrong and then I either have too many notes on it to want to make a new post or I can't figure out what the fuck I can do to make it look right and spend a stupid amount of time trying to edit to make sure everything is working. nevermind I hate figuring out how to format things here. for instance: I started drafting up my Fringilla vid, dropped my Youtube embed there and discovered it had a thumbnail of Francesca. So I made my Fringilla screencap and uploaded it to YouTube. the vidpost looks fine on desktop with Fringilla showing up on the preview image. but nooo on mobile it still shows Francesca in the preview. At least it does on my mobile. is it Francesca for everyone else on the mobile app? it's just a dumb thing to be annoyed about. but annoys me enough to actually make a post it. also I can't seem to remember to make proper titles on my tumblr posts before actually hitting post. run back to edit in but now all the reblogs say 'watching streaming on ao3' lmao, whyyyy. what a dumb thing to be irritated by. pfft. and I still have no idea if YouTube embeds fail to make posts show up in the tags. but I get the impression people might be more likely to watch an embed than clicking over to AO3 or wherever. I'm not a gif-maker and I don't think gifs of my vids have the same kind of impact without the music. so I dunno what to do to make things look prettier. I LOVE finishing things, I love people getting to see my fanworks. but my god I just hate posting and crossposting so goddamn much. Sometimes I have a streamlined process for my dreamwidth/twitter feeds but the bulk of my peeps there are not witcher folks anyway so that's not a crossposting priority for my witcher goodies. anyway. I made a Fringilla vid to escape my depressive woes. I love fringilla. you can check out my fringilla vid with alllllll my feelings for her right here.

Question is the legacy editor any good? I've never used it because I'm paranoid about it messing my posts up lmao but I'm curious

The short answer is yes. Legacy editor, the older way tumblr did posting, is in my opinion, the superior editor. I love the legacy editor. A lot. It is definitely superior and I'm sad staff has decided to slowly get rid of it.

However! With that said I've been pretty much exclusively using the beta post editor for the last like year when staff announced that they'd be eliminating the legacy editor eventually so I thought it'd be a good idea to get used to the beta editor. Which I suppose I did. I've gotten used to it and don't use legacy much at all anymore. I also wanted to use it because I got really tired of not being able to edit in mobile the posts I made on web using the legacy editor. With the beta editor you can edit across platforms which is soooo nice. (although it appears that in one of the apps many updates I can now edit a gifset I made today via legacy editor but not the posts I've made in the past using the legacy editor so who knows what's going with that).

But there's a lot of annoying things about the new beta editor that make it inferior to the legacy editor and I'm praying that staff will improve it. For starters, and probably my biggest complaint, is how awful it is to upload and rearrange images. It's so much easier in legacy editor to move images around. In beta the page moves when you start to move the image and it drives me CRAZY!!! I always end up putting the image in the wrong place because the page won't stop moving! Legacy is wonderful to arrange images. I do think the upload is slightly better in beta purely because it uploads multiple images in the order I select them where the legacy just puts them in whatever order it wants to and I have to remember what order I wanted my gifs in.

Legacy is also better because it actually differentiates between an image post and a text post. With the beta editor everything is technically a test post. So my gifsets are not considered an "image post". Some people have noted that the beta, since it's not an image post, it resizes the images a little and sometimes decreases the quality of the gif by doing that. I haven't really noticed that myself with my own gifs but doesn't mean it isnt happening.

The legacy editor also allows me to upload my gifs without stupid errors for no reason. Lately any time I upload more than 6 gifs at once I get an error message and have to upload them one by one. Its not because of size because they're always under 7mbs so I don't know why I can't upload them all at once. I hate it actually. And sometimes my gif will be under 10mbs (like 9.7mbs) and it'll tell me that the gif is too big. Excuse me tumblr but 9.7 is smaller than 10! I never had this problem in legacy.

The legacy editor is also better when it comes to using html, inserting links as text and not the stupid thing beta does where you paste the link and it becomes that stupid post preview thing that I hate, and oh my god is it awful for text blocks! When it first came out you couldnt select multiple texts blocks at all. You can now but it isn't the easiest. And it like expands when you do and makes it weird. Idk it's hard to describe. In legacy you can just...select all the text with no problems. Text blocks are treated like individual sections in the beta and make editing a major pain in the ass.

I also don't like thst apparently new xkit won't work in beta and you have to use xkit rewritten because fuck I don't want to learn how to use that one when I've been using new xkit for years but I guess I'm gonna have to now. I haven't been having any problems with xkit yet but who knows....

So yeah I think overall legacy is better. Beta Post Editor has some good things (I like the increased image upload limit, the editing tags is good) about it but there's so many problems. Unfortunately we're stuck with it so I've been sticking to using it exclusively to make the transition easier on myself. I do suggest becoming used to how it works and to just continue to provide feedback to staff about features we dislike or bugs we come across. Hopefully they'll listen and improve it.

tumblr not letting me edit posts in my queue while i’m on my laptop bc they were queued using the app is peak uselessness of this site

[waynedunlaptheorgandonor]

can i say a sort of pointless rambly thing i was thinking about that i can't put under the cut bc i'm on mobile?

jk, i'm not actually asking. ramble below, not edited for clarity. the following is completely unclear and i will not fix it:

i've been thinking about how part of the reason i'm so chill about caryl is bc growing up as a queer woc 99% of my main ships were like, never gonna fucking happen bc they literally couldn't. it was like, "omg, they gazed at each other from across the room, let's analyze the homosexual subtext of this one scene for the next fifty years, that's not necessarily hyperbole." i've watched all my ships fuck other ppl/have other love interests, and i knew that my thing was never gonna be canon, so to see like, one thing being like, "one half of my ship fucked another person several years ago while pining for the other half of my ship," i'm like...#nice, bc that can and likely will be used as a plot point to get them together later on, whereas in other situations i've been in i just kinda had to deal with it. so my impulse when i see ppl losing their shit is to be like

and to be slightly annoyed, tbh, bc the ship is still on track to be canon, and it's like, literally two white heterosexuals, they're prime candidates for juicy angsty pining that actually gets a resolution.

but!

that being said, i recognize that that attitude isn't necessarily fair. for one thing, i'm not the only queer woc (or some variation thereof) in this fandom, and some ppl's impulse might be exasperation instead, bc like, "wtf, even my mayohet ship has dumb fucking drama," and that's valid as hell, and i get it.

and also, i get that, even if you didn't grow up shipping impossible ships (or mulder/scully, bc that's a brand of bullshit all its own), this has been a suuuuper drawn out process where sometimes it feels like they're legit sprinkling crumbs to keep you hooked, just to play you again, and when you are invested in something, like /rly/ invested, especially if it's a form of escapism or hyperfixation or whatever, that can be e x h a u s t i n g. and i get that. i truly do, and while i make a lot of snide comments about the fandom being bonkers, i do get where the bulk of you are coming from (unless you're one of those ppl who hate on actors and esp actresses for just doing their jobs, and attack them on social media, in which case i am very much judging you and you need to get your life together).

i also realize that in the scheme of things i'm still a newbie. i've been here, what, twoish/threeish years, whereas some of you have been here since the beginning, so i'm not as worn out as y'all. but i also think that gives me a bit of objectivity that some of y'all have (understandably) lost.

my positivity is not meant as a sleight against those of you who are feeling negative, but is more of a semi-objective viewpoint (i say semi, bc lbr, i'm invested af in this, so i definitely have bias), and to me the threads of the storyline they're crafting seem sort of obvious.

like, let's look at it, yeah? they have one season left of this show that has been on for over a decade. they need to cater to everyone to give them a satisfying ending, while still hanging on to carylers bc of the spin-off. darylrreah seems like a very calculated move, bc it gives them both something to make abcers happy, while also creating tension and suspense and pining for carylers (i think they might underestimate just how fed up some carylers are tbh, and are banking on us to hang on for one last ride, which, honestly? if they play it right will probably work.)

if they end up doing a dumb love triangle thing, which, without seeing the episode and gauging the subtext i can't confidently say if i think they will or won't, it will ultimately end in our favor. it has to, bc leah isn't going to third wheel them on the bike in the spin-off. we can say with good authority that whatever that relationship ends up being (again, idk if they'll drag it out or not) it will be temporary. which leaves caryl open to ride off into the sunset and then bone down in every state in the united states and in puerto rico for good measure.

it's a lot of cheap drama, but i really and truly do not think it's anything to worry about, and i still really and truly trust kang to not make it out of character. ik ppl still don't agree with me on that point, and i'm not gonna argue, but to me it really does make perfect sense.

and i also predict that they are gonna play it up hardcore in the promotional shit and talking dead, but when that happens, remember it's bc it gets attention. regardless of where the story is ultimately going, relationship drama gets attention, which gets viewers, which gets amc and twd producers nice and comfy with full pockets

idk. to sum up ig i just wanted to clarify that i don't mean any harm with my relentless positivity. my history in fandom has just made this seem like nothing in comparison, bc while ppl are freaking out, i'm like, "oh damn, they're actually gonna get together by the end of this, aren't they? i didn't know that could happen!" and that makes me excited instead of upset

and you definitely don't have to listen to me. maybe i'm actually wrong. maybe i'm completely full of bullshit and am just good at making things sound confident. i got a lot of As on papers in college over books i never read, i know how to bs. but i also know how to analyze, and i while i will be the first to tell you i am not the best at a great many things, i do know that i am good at critically analyzing text while taking into account the context it was written in, and imho all signs point to canon caryl. when, i'm not entirely sure, but i see it happening. if it doesn't then they severely fucked up their storytelling, and that'd just be bad writing on their part.

(if you want proof that i'm good at reading writers'/producers' intentions, consider that i watched like, 8 seasons of supernatural before giving up, and said to myself, "i think they're gonna make destiel canon, but not until the very last second bc they are rly into catering to their fans but also have to consider their dumb fanboy audience so they can't do anything crazy overtly gay," and guess who hit the nail on the fucking head on that one)

none of this is important, but it was rattling around my mind grapes and i wanted to write it down into something vaguely coherent, and where else better to do it than here. i can word vomit and then send it into the ether and pretend i never said a thing. i love this horrible website, nothing can compare

i have no real conclusion to this, it was mostly stream of consciousness, but i hope it sort of helps y'all understand where i'm coming from, and why i am as chill as i am about things. not about y'all. y'all cause me so much anxiety i get physically sick and have to legit block tags, but with the actual show content i'm zen as hell

uh

the end ig?

it feels weird even signing off on this, but w/e

I saw in one of your tags you were asking about people not reblogging things. I do reblog stuff a lot of the time but the main reasons I might like and not reblog a piece of art are: It's good but there's something about the content I don't like — e.g. it's sad, it's a ship I don't really like, or there's something minor about it that I personally find unsettling or uncomfortable for a relatively ridiculous reason — or if I see quite a bit of content from this particular fandom but it's not one of my main fandoms and I only reblog the occasional thing relating to it. It's wanting to say "good job!" but also I don't want it saved on my blog. I can't guarantee whether other people's reasons are the same.

thank you for sharing your perspective!

i can tell for myself that when i like and don’t reblog something it’s usually for one of three reasons:

1) it is a random meme or joke or text post or whatever, not related to any fandoms i am in and not in line with the stuff i post on the blog, so i like it to look at it later. sometimes i end up reblogging that stuff, and tagging it with “random”, especially if i don’t have a lot to post otherwise that day

2) it is some sort of resource i want to look at later, or a post i want to send to a friend without reblogging it. again, when it comes to resources, sometimes i end up reblogging it anyway with the “save” tag

3) by far the most common - i am scrolling on mobile and i like something with the intention to reblog it later. the reason is that on mobile it is hard to reblog and there is always some sort of fucking bug, like when reblogging something takes you to the top of your dash. much easier to reblog on desktop, especially because it is much easier to tag there. i try to regularly go through my likes and reblog that stuff, especially art, fanfic, and edits/gifs, but sometimes i go too long without doing it and the likes get over-crowded and i forget something

so if i ever like some of your original stuff, like art / fanfic / etc and not reblog it, most likely reason is that my likes got overwhelming and executive functioning of my brain gave up so i did not get to it. sorry.

-

i have also seen people give reasons for not reblogging which are more complicated, like being afraid that the content will get them angry anons, or that it will be triggering for followers, or being very cautious of what they reblog from people they don’t know in fear that they will be giving attention to people with horrible bigoted views (e.g. the crypto-TERFs). this i understand and honestly don’t know what individual users could do to fix, and i have no faith in tumblr staff doing anything about harassment of users or the cryptic behaviours of bigots

what i think is a big contributor that people can do something about is passive consumption of content. like, i know we are all drowning in a sea of posts, and liking something is easier than having a curated blog with a tagging system, but also, thing is, without sharing, content doesn’t circulate. a like is a nice gesture, sure, but it doesn’t spread the content, it buries the content. the best it can do is move you up the tag page, but who even goes into tags anymore? 

it is very hard for an individual to fight against the algorithms or get over the dopamine crash of having highly stimulating content being blasted into our faces by every platform, but every little step you take helps to keep this website alive and motivate content creators to put their stuff out there

i think one way we could combat this is making a bookmarks blog. literally just creating a side-blog that you use exclusively for reblogging things. it can have no tag system, no theme, no particular curated category. you can disable anon messages or disable asks altogether. and you use it just how you would use the like button, just to reblog everything you saw and liked

you’d think no one would follow a blog like that but the thing is, back when i just joined tumblr, most people who reblogged my original content and made it circulate were bookmark blogs. they usually weren’t called that explicitly but that’s what they were - just people reblogging everything they liked, never or almost never making their own posts, and many did not have any tagging system. it was just chaos on their blog, they would reblog everything and anything they wanted. and it made the content circulate and get orders of magnitude more exposure

so basically i vote for bringing back bookmark blogs and being okay with just running a disorganized mess of a blog, 

like a storage of everything that crossed your dash and made you smile or sparked your interest in any way. it is as low effort as possible while still being a massive help to content creators. obviously you don’t have to do anything, but if you want tumblr to stay alive and for more content to be posted here, that is the lowest effort solution i can think of

Hi, new anon, but been on the site and with some of the communities mentioned, for years. Your blog is how I found out some info on what happened to another blog I followed. I swear I'm not trying to convince you to do anything- just wondering if you ever considered using nicknames for the content creators you talk about? That way people who are looking for discourse, who have their own doubts about their favorite creator, can search tumblr and within your own blog with "[content creator nickname] discourse" and your blog, and similar blogs, would show up. I've been reading through the blog for a couple of days and from personal experience, I'm having issues corroborating claims and proof across many tags, and I think it'd just be easier to find specific posts on your blog, especially since Tumblr's search function is already a nightmare. (1/2)

This would also keep the more trivial discourse out of the main tag. Like I said, I've been reading through the blog- I've seen other discourse blogs (some who used to be connected to GuruGossiper but are long gone) use nicknames for content creators. I understand putting grievances that are on levels of exposing racism and bigotry in the main tag, but it seems like if we try to just use the Latest filter to see edits, art, etc., this blog shows up with the more petty complaints and in-fighting (relatively trivial in comparison to the above in bold) from everyone you respond to. It makes your blog seem like a vicious hate-blog where everyone is just arguing with each other, and if you're trying to reach the community on such serious topics, I'm not sure this is working too well. This is definitely not the most vitriolic discourse blog I've encountered, but I wonder if the main-tag method is counter-intuitive to the objective. Hoping this blog doesn't dissolve into nonsense, tbh. (2/2)

I don't want to use nicknames for content creators. Simply because it's partially ignoring the problem or trying to cover it up which is entirely against what I'm standing for. I don't even dare to become part of the problem. Tumblr's search function is defenitely fucked up. I agree. However that's also why my masterlist exists. So the evidence and the claims are in one tight and handy place WITH the sources to back it up. I don't put anything up on that list unless it's actually proven to be a thing. I also do not want to keep discourse out of the main tag. because 1: I dont want to satisfy the hateful stannies with that. and 2: The discourse is about that content creator so I will use that tag no matter what. If people don't want to see discourse they can block me. It's not like I'm going to share anything else ever, so they'd get rid of the discourse all in one handy click. And for the people who were crying "but you cant do that on mobile" Apps exist, and tumblr has its own blacklist function so go to hell. The people who think I'm hate-blog are stuck in their echochamber of believing that. The people that matter on this blog know exactly who I am and what I stand for so I don't really care about the opinion of some equally 'hateful' content creator stans to begin with. They really don't matter to me enough to be changing anything up purely because they don't want to see what's already in front of them. If they hate to see it so much they can take matters into their own hands and not unrightfully expect of me to solve their problem. This blog won't dissolve into nonsense. It'll always be here since there's still people that have valid concerns. And if you can't handle that you can take it upon yourself to leave this place alone. It's not like you are my target audience anyway.

SPOILERS FOR 911, 4.13

(sorry I can't do cuts on mobile)

First of all, huge, HUGE thank you to @tenaciouswaste for the link to the episode so I could watch it.

Secondly, I'm going to be honest with you guys: I don't see Buddie all that much in the acting, - in the places I do, it's entirely because of Ryan, - but I do see it a bit in the directing/editing choices. Though I mostly don't see those until looking on tumblr. And it's lacking in places it could be, tbh. It's really inconsistent. But tonight, TONIGHT I saw something watching the episode first hand; in the moment.

Eddie getting shot and Buck having his blood on his face?

Please tell me there are Buffy watchers that watch this show because THAT WAS THE WILLOW AND TARA SCENE FROM BUFFY EPISODE 6.19 !!!!! (Linked there for you guys, in case that wasn't clear.)

Wait.

Holy shit.

HOLY SHIT!

Dude!

DUDE!

The clothing! The colors of the clothing!

Ffs, we don't need explicitly canon OT3 on Leverage: Redemption! We don't! We have Word of God Confirmation ffs! And if we get it within the show in the way some people are asking for, then the show won't feel the same as the original because of how it's all been done in such a gracefully, beautiful complex way. And as someone who excepts OT3, and is perfectly happy about it from many angles, the fact of the matter is I don't need it infront of my salad! THAT'S NOT THE POINT OF THIS SHOW AND IT'S NOT THE ART WE FELL IN LOVE WITH THIS SHOW FOR! I get relationships shoved down my fucking throat on every other goddamn show I watch. That's not at a level of art that the OG Leverage was. It is layers of wonderfully beautiful that almost no other show out there could ever fucking touch! IT'S WHAT MAKES IT SO GODDAMN SPECIAL!

Ffs, we have Word of God confirmation, we don't need more explicitness than that on screen! Why do you want it to be explicit on screen when it's already in there subtly and with WoG confirmation and done within the show in such an amazing way? WHY?! IT'S ALREADY THERE AND YOU KNOW IT!

And for those of you saying, "I want it, but I'll live without talking about it," GREAT! I'm not actually talking about you! I'm talking about the fuckers that say they want "canon OT3 or there will be hell to pay!" YOU FUCKERS ARE THE ONES I'M TALKING TO!

AND JOHN WANTED A HELL OF A LOT LEFT OPEN TO INTERPRETATION TO ALLOW FOR FANFICTION! NOT EVERYTHING NEEDS TO BE LAID OUT BECAUSE WHAT THE FUCK DOES THAT LEAVE PEOPLE TO WRITE? THIS WAY WE CAN LET PEOPLE HAVE THEIR OWN THEORIES ABOUT THE SPECIFIC RELATIONSHIP OF OT3!

I get it, you want to know seeing yourself in the character is valid, but allowing certain things to be left open to interpretation let's OTHER PEOPLE continue to see themselves in these characters! WHY do you want that to be taken away from THEM?!

OT3 IS ALREADY FUCKING CANON! IT'S FUCKING CONFIRMED! PLEASE LEAVE IT AT THAT AND SHUT THE FUCK UP SAYING THAT YOU NEED TO SEE SOMETHING MORE EXPLICIT ON SCREEN BECAUSE THAT ERASES THE REP THAT'S ALREADY THERE! IT ERASES THE REP YOU AND COUNTLESS OTHERS ALREADY SEE! IT'S THE SAME MOTHER FUCKING PROBLEM IN THE FUCKING SUPERNATURAL FANDOM!

DONT LET THAT SHIT IN OUR HOUSE!

YOU ARE ERASING THE QUEER AND POLY REP THAT IS ALREADY THERE BY SAYING IT'S NOT CANON UNLESS YOU GET SOMETHING ON SCREEN WHEN YOU ALREADY HAVE WORD OF GOD CONFIRMATION OF WHAT WAS MEANT BY ELIOT'S STATEMENT IN THE OG FINALE!

WHAT THE EVER-LIVING-FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE ERASING THE MASTERFUL SUBTEXT AND SUBTLE-ISH TEXT THEY HAD TO PUT IN THROUGH DIALOGUE AND COSTUMING AND BEHAVIOR THAT THE CREATIVE TEAM POURED THEIR LOVE AND SOUL INTO TO SHOW YOU OT3 WAS THERE?! THEY DID THAT! AND YOU ARE ERASING THEIR HARD WORK AND BEAUTIFUL ART BY SAYING IT ISN'T THERE ENOUGH! YOU ARE ERASING JOHN ROGERS' AND THE CREW'S METICULOUS WORK BECAUSE YOU WANT MORE?! FUCK THE FUCK OFF! WE DONT GET STORIES THIS, BEAUTIFULLY CRAFTED DOWN TO COMPLEX DESIGN AND COMPLEX BEHAVIORAL ELEMENTS, IN NEARLY ANY OTHER GODDAMN SHOW OUT THERE! THEIR RELATIONSHIP IS IN THE SUBTLE DETAILS PUT INTO THIS SHOW IN SUCH A GODDAMN ARTISTIC AND BRILLIANT WAY, AND PEOPLE ARE TRYING TO ERASE THAT BECAUSE THEY CANT APPRECIATE ART! IF YOU REALLY LOVE THE WRITERS, THEN ACTUALLY APPRECIATE THEIR WORK, DAMNIT!

BE BETTER THAN THOSE IDIOTS THAT ROAM THE SPN FANDOM THAT SAY "THIS WASN'T ENOUGH" WHEN IT WAS SPLAYED OUT EVERYWHERE! BE BETTER THAN THAT!

Pretty impressive shape it's in, all things considered.
