#TUMBLR WHY DO YOU DO THIS

[fixablebubble]

Me: *very anti Team Green, anti Aemond/Aegon/Alicent* *tries to block tags related to them because I do not care*

Tumblr: “Aemond and Aegon memes? Fanfic?? Edits???”

Izzy please know that whenever you send me anything i am filled with joy you are an AMAZING writer!!!! <33

you're not weak. for all your life you've fought, against the sun, the moon, the stars, and now Childe, and all the previous times you've succeeded. there's nothing to you but fighting- it's the reason you even live- and you take it as seriously as anyone else would take their "job", if you could even call it that. you're not weak. you're not weak. you're not weak-

so why do you feel like bursting into tears?

you're strong enough to keep yourself from crying, and instead place your hands on top of Foul Legacy's and hold it to your chest, unwilling to let go but unable to articulate why. even as you silently sit up you still cling to him, the sight of your blank eyes staring at his claws drawing a worried growl from Foul Legacy. you look so much like Childe when he emerged from the Abyss- deadened and uncertain of your fate- and without even thinking Foul Legacy lifts and sweeps you into a careful hug, settling your form on his lap

you hesitate, then tentatively lean your fuzzy, clouded head against his lilac fluff, and purrs fill your ears. the pain returns, your bones and muscles aching from overuse, but the soft rumbles surrounding you keep away the dark places in the back of your mind. so halfway between relief and regret, you sleep willingly in Foul Legacy's arms

the Abyssal monster lets out a quiet whine once you drift off, claws gently rubbing up and down your back. there are scars on your hands, arms- everywhere, healed again and again from the countless battles and enemies you've faced, ice spreading through Foul Legacy's chest as he recognizes a few from himself. and so he cradles you, looking so calm and relaxed in slumber, and swears to never raise his weapons against you again, to never allow any type of harm to befall you, to protect you forever and ever

because perhaps the world wants you to be enemies, but he'll break and reshape the laws of Teyvat with his own talons if he must, just to be able to show that he loves you

@izzyandviolins​ FORGIVE ME FOR TAGGING YOU BUT TUMBLR DECIDED TO NOT SHOW THIS IN THE TAGS AND I’M ENRAGED BECAUSE IT’S SO GOOD

"content creator" is a corporate word.

woke up and someone spilled vanilla extract all over my dash, so as punishment you strange little beasties are getting all the VANILLA FACTS i know:

vanilla is the 2nd most expensive spice in the world (2nd to saffron)

which is why more than 99% of what we call "vanilla extract" is actually vanillin (vanilla's dominant flavor compound) and is not extracted from real vanilla.

luckily, even professionals struggle to tell the difference when it comes to things like baked goods. but there is a distinct difference in non-heat treated products like vanilla ice cream. real vanilla has a more complex, individualized flavor profile.

why is vanilla so expensive? because it is a ridiculously delicate & demanding crop. complete primadonna.

vanilla beans come from vanilla orchids. these crazy flowers bloom for A SINGLE DAY and have to be HAND-POLLINATED in a process that is exhausting, delicate, and requires specialist knowledge passed down over generations.

then, if you're lucky, you get vanilla beans.

which then require months of further specialized treatment.

the entire process takes about a year and can go wrong at any stage

vanilla has been cultivated for over 800 years (possibly much longer). the first known cultivators are the Totonac, an indigenous people of Mexico.

the Aztecs used it as a sweetener to balance out the bitter taste of cocoa. it was popular in a drink called xocolatl--the precursor to modern hot chocolate!

it is only pollinated by a very specific orchid bee!!!

which is why no fruit could be grown outside of Mexico until the 1800s

Edmond Albius, born into slavery, invented the pollination method we still use today--launching a global industry when he was just 12 years old.

today, the majority of the world's vanilla is grown in Madagascar

if you want real vanilla, read the labels carefully--it's harder to find than you think!

in conclusion, those tiny black specks you see in fancy vanilla ice cream? those are vanilla bean seeds! itty bitty orchid seeds!!! they are delicious and also a PRISSY BITCH!

the easy grip on the knife. the leg over the seat. the hand over the other seat. the sassy "come get it" move. you know the bitch is smiling behind that mask even as he said the line.

To illustrate this post by @mayahawkse I would like to visualize to you the difference:

A post in 2023:

A post in 2014:

A zoom out of the same post:

This is what a community looks like.

See how in 2023 almost all of the reblogs come from the OP, from their few hours/days in the tag search. Meanwhile in 2014 the % of reblogs from OP is insignificant, because most of the reblogs come from the reblogs within the fandom, within the micro-communities formed there. You didn't need to rely on tags, or search, or being featured. Because the community took care of you, made sure to pass the work between themselves and onto their blog and exposed their followers to it. It kept works alive for years.

It's not JUST the reblog/like ratio that causing this issue, it's the type of interaction people have. They're content with scrolling and liking the search engine, instead of actually having a reblogging relationship with other blogs in their community.

Anyways, if you want to see more content you like, the only true way to make it happen is to reblog it. Likes do not forward content in no way but making OP feel nice. Reblogs on the other hand make content eternal. They make it relevant, they make it exist outside of a fickle tumblr search that hardly works on the best of days.

If you want more of something, reblog it.

@strangeravatar made a great point

i was gonna focus on the spike-hotboxing-celestia aspect but i got distracted somewhere along the way and i think i forgot what joke i was trying to make

but dont you think its interesting how many guards of the exact same color/body type she's managed to accrue?? i do

ooohh you want to go look at our stickers so bad

[honestlydarkprincess]

i'm curious about the ratio

I wish we could have met in some other way.
