#and do i ever complain

[sindirimba]

why the fuck does tumblr keep eating queued posts on @bon-du-jour oh my god. and they just disappear into the ether. do you realize how hard i have to work to find posts for that blog. do you know how i suffer to find posts for nile, booker, and/or nile/booker.

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.

I wholeheartedly believe that the last thing that should be said in response to aspecs hating their identity is "don't worry! Aspecs can still do X, Y, and Z" and I'm so fucking serious about this.

The least helpful thing you can do to someone who have not accepted their aspec identity yet is give them ways to compensate for it. If an aspec person is upset over not being able to enter a romantic relationship, the last thing that should be done is to tell them they can still enter one or instead enter a QPR - not because that's not true but because that is quite literally going to stunt their ability to accept their aspec identity. Telling them they can instead enter a QPR when they're upset over the lack of romantic relationships is at MOST a bandaid for the main issue. Instead of them coming to accept their identity and accept who they are you have instead handed them an amatonormative alternative on a silver platter that allows them to pretend they still fit into amatonormativity without every deconstructing it. This is how we get QPRs getting shoved into an amatonormative framework - these people NEVER got over the "I'm sad that I'm aspec" phase because they were handed alternatives instead of given actual support in deconstructing their internalized aphobia, self hatred, and amatonormative biases.

One of the best things about Disco Elysium by far is that it does not fear ugly women. The world is full of ugly men, but ugly women are so hard to come by.

Something I noticed about most "Sampo is an Emanator of Elation" theories/takes is that they tend to be very angsty.

Which is valid, I know people like their angst, and with how... unstable, Aha is, and considering what little we do know about THEIR Emanators, it's indeed very plausible.

But personally, I think Sampo not giving two shits about being an Emanator is far funnier.

Like, Aha blessed him, most likely via his mask, and Sampo was like "neat" and then proceeded to never use his powers.

For the simple reason that it takes the joy out of everything. Doing things on his own the hard way without divine powers makes things so much more fun! So why should he use these powers, it would be like cheating! And Sampo is a fair and honorable guy, after all.

It's also why he didn't bother getting his mask back from Sparkle before, and why he only does so now that Jarilo VI is in danger, because he kinda actually needs it now.

I also think Aha would find it all very hilarious, especially if Sampo tends to forget he even is an Emanator most of the time.

Would probably put on an act when Sampo gets his mask back about how "cruel" Sampo is for forgetting all about THEM and only coming back when he needs something. How could Aha's own Emanator treat them this way? Truly such a tragedy!

sue me but I think Shen Yuan as an old man with crow's feet, laugh lines, and gray streaks in his hair could cure Bingge completely. It would just fix All of his problems.

colossuspool also please

oh! and taskpool yes please and thank you

bobpool is hilarious and i want to see more of it but only as a jokey joke. i think it's so. so funny.

god. most deadpool ships i'd put in rarepair territory. i'd even say loganpool is a rarepair. i don't see a lot of sincere loganpool shippers. but i really like it. i think they hate fuck on their birthdays. every year.

Every time I see someone earnestly say that Carver hates Hawke, I have to exercise such restraint to not scream.

Every day I get closer to writing a deep dive about him because that's my guy. He's so interesting. He feels so much. He tries so hard when talking to the other companions and some of the dynamics he has with them are so good. He can be so fucking funny and sweet and awkward. He so badly wants to be wanted and appreciated and to protect everyone he loves.

Carver Hawke, they could never make me hate you.
