for pjsk which is another media im normal abt anything having to do w/ mizukis gender honestly (its like the gender debates in the dgr + p4 fandoms) ;; ppl make their whole character abt being trans which isnt. the truth at all

[mylittleredgirl]

i work in a library & today someone checked out a season of MASH. thought of u fondly. ah yes, someone i follow on tumblr loves that show. did not say this out loud but they were very excited to get their dvds. hope u have a lovely day 💕

yay!!!! i'm so happy for that mystery person!

"my friend is really into that show."

"really? how nice. what's your friend's name?"

"....... something, probably???"

[kingofmyborrowedheart]

Swifties like you are trash. You worship her current bf and villianize her ex, no matter what. You make her life harder by attacking people she loved, who did nothing bad to her.

You've obviously never had a real, healthy relationship, that simply didn't work out. You think people only break up because one person did something terrible.

What a loser. You'll never be happy.

I have never villainized Joe, I’ve never even had a strong opinion on the man; I just think it’s kinda shitty that he couldn’t show up during a big moment for Taylor. I also never claimed that the split rested solely on one party I quite literally said “People change and grow apart and that’s normal, it doesn’t mean one person was at fault!” which directly undermines what you’re trying to accuse me of saying.

Yeah I’ve never had a real relationship but that doesn’t mean I don’t understand that relationships require give and take and effort, healthy communication and if things aren’t working after you’ve tried to fix it then maybe it’s best to cherish it for what it was, use it as a learning experience and move on.

It seems like you’re just looking for someone to be mad at and get a rise out of, but unfortunately for you I’m not a punching bag and my anger isn’t triggered by people like you. I don’t think I’m the loser in this situation since I’m not the one sending anonymous hate on tumblr.com, that would be you anon! Have a lovely evening! 😘

Friendly reminder that if you try to insult me on anon I can and will block you : )

Let's Talk About Security Culture: Why Keeping Secrets is Cool and Sexy

It's a natural impulse -- if you love crime -- to want to talk about how great it is. And if you hate America, it's only natural to want to share your dreams for its future with the rest of tumblr dot com. It can feel brave and transgressive. And there is a drive to share your soul with the world at the heart of social media. Surely I should be posting the most concrete implications of my politics, right? This is the poster's curse.

Security Culture refers to a set of "best practices" developed over the past several decades, largely (in a US context) coming out of radical environmental groups as they faced intense state repression, infiltration and entrapment. If you're not familiar, there's some fascinating crimethinc write ups to give you a window into that world:

Much of it boils down to: don't talk about crimes, past or forthcoming with people who don't need to know about them, and be mindful of the possibility of surveillance and infiltration. And, we can support each other as a community in minimizing risks, with an eye towards enabling bold action rather than getting bogged down in fears and anxieties. The guidelines that make sense for AG-based trouble-makers are different from the guidelines that make sense for posters, but plenty of common principles apply. To speak briefly to our position here as posters:

First, it bears saying that long term anonymity is nearly impossible to maintain. Unless you've never accessed Tumblr without a vpn, and avoided connections with other ppl who can be associated with you/your location, and never shared pictures without scrubbing metadata, and a bunch of other 100% consistent steps, it's trivial for the state to know who you are.

Second, just because something isn't actively being prosecuted now doesn't mean it can't be prosecuted later. The priorities of the state change and a shift in power towards the right or a growth in radical action from the left can suddenly make it a priority to destroy anarchist networks or just find a few ppl to prosecute as examples (who probably weren't that plugged into larger networks before getting arrested). Advocating for specific anti-government crimes or declarations of intent to commit such crimes are likely prosecutable, and even if charges don't stick, they're an easy vector for legal harassment.

Third, it's worth thinking about heat as separate from prosecutability. There are modes of engagement that may not be directly criminalized but signal that you are someone worth watching. Some people choose to be public in ways that make heat unavoidable. But it's worth noting that heat isn't strictly individualized, that it persists over time but also is going to shrink over time.

It's easy on here, ime, to see yourself as a proud member of the crime fandom but not much of a content creator. And it's easy to feel like you've generated an amount of heat where you're locked into that role. But heat you generated 10 years ago is probably pretty well gone. Heat you generated 5 years ago has faded substantially. It's worth thinking about how the world might shift in the coming years and what doors you want to keep open.

The non-individualized nature of heat also means that leaning into the spiciest of anti-state positions will make it a bad idea for people who are acting out those positions end up tied to you. Loudly talking about how "more people should be doing [X/Y/Z]" unfortunately sets you up to remain distant from people who might be doing or thinking about doing such things.

Which brings me back to: keeping secrets is sexy. Not spelling everything out builds intrigue. You can lay out a theoretical position and leave working out the practical implications of that as an exercise for the reader. There's value in opacity. The poster's curse and the drive to confess are extremely convenient for the state, but we can resist them. We can hold dreams in our hearts that we refuse to offer up to the posting spectacle.

[joelscruff]

important psa; if you think you recognize someone from your real life by their selfie on tumblr dot com, don't send them an anonymous message telling them you know them and have seen them around. it's fucking creepy and startling and even if you didn't mean it that way, it comes across as extremely invasive and scary. don't do that. and don't be surprised if you get blocked.

[gor3sigil]

i saw ur post abt not viewing ur younger self as trans and i wanted to tell u i relate, and i think others definitely do too. i saw a cis man one time talking abt how he personally considers boy and man different genders, he transitioned from boy to man, and he felt a distinct change in how he felt gender-wise during that period, and it really helped me personally conceptulize this feeling as a trans man. my mom transitioned from a girl into a woman, but i transitioned from a girl into a man. i dont view little me as a boy, i think maybe i would have enjoyed being a boy but i cant ever rlly know that. i liked being a girl, and i think at that age i was a girl. so ur experience is valid, and understood by at least one random anonymous person on tumblr dot com lol

Thank you so much for your input ! And wow the transitioning from boy to man is really interesting. It's true that it kinda is different states of being, individually and socially.

911, a confession

Let me start by saying that I don't really know what I'm doing here, so bear with me. If I actually go through with posting this, and you find yourself tagged and wondering who I am and why, or even if you happen upon it in the tags, I hope you take a minute to read this.

You don't know me, but you've been my community for a while now. I've checked your blogs daily for years, I've read your posts and loved your art and sent you countless anonymous asks to pick your brains- never hate though, because I'm not a Freak.

What I am, however, is a lonely lesbian with depression and (newly diagnosed) OCD, who has always needed some hyperfixation media/fandom to find life bearable. For some ~fun context, I was Raised by the glee fandom, I will die on the hill that watching queer as folk when I was 14 and discovering its fans 10+ years after airing made me who I am, I've got the most bizarrely timed stint in the 1D fandom under my belt, and I find nothing in the world more interesting and also affirming than Queer Reading (verb) media- to the extent that I earned an English degree and wrote a thesis specifically about it.

I haven't posted on here in 1.5 years, since I fell out of my previous fandom (apologies to anyone from said fandom who still happens to follow me and is seeing this, feel free to move along.) But I've been on this app every day since, because of 911.

(starting the read more here to spare you- again especially if you are tagged, I know you're probably feeling miserable rn but I do hope the entirety of this love letter reaches you)

I started "watching" mid season 5- by which I mean I was in a deep depressive state after disconnecting with previous media hyperfixation and, when I happened upon 911 trending while in need of distraction, I quickly fell down a rabbit hole. Tale as old as time, tumblr dot com convinces you that you need to tune into *insert media here* bc its fun and there are gay people! I caught myself up through all the big blogs and by the time May Day was airing I felt like I had a decent grasp on all the lore, all the fandom drama, all the places the writers were "definitely, so brilliantly" going to be taking the show that we had to look forward to, all without ever having actually seen an episode of the show (before you boo me, yes I've watched it by now, even season 1)

But I think it is important, and also a little messed up, that I fell in love with 911 through YOU, through the fans. Obviously watching the show initially through the lens of fan reactions first and not whats actually happening on screen can have some... interesting results. We've heard it all before, with the people who started watching specifically for Buddie around season 4/5 because they saw The Will and by the time they caught themselves up and watched the end of season 6 they wanted their refunds.

Here is where I want to make a clarification- the reason I got so interested, why I started coming back every day to check in on tags and certain favorite blogs I didn't even follow bc I was denying the want to become fully Involved, was because I fell in love with Evan Buckley. I won't lie, it was Buddie that caught my attention first- of course, thats what everyone here was talking about- and as much as I quickly started discover the value of the show outside of them (Henren my absolute Beloveds!!!!! Captain Dad Bobby Nash you are so special to ME. Chimney man of all time i can keep going) none of it was enough initially to bite the bullet and catch up on 5 seasons worth of a show I also knew would have elements I WASNT interested in (Copaganda and Taylor Kelly I am looking at you.)

But then I started really getting into fan's readings of Buck *insert footage of me learning the Buck Begins of it all for the first time* as a character separate from Eddie (as much as people were capable of anyway, and I will say some of yall continue to be absolutely atrocious at it) and I knew I was done for. Buck, this character so full of goodness, and his need to be Found but to also Find his own family and purpose and sense of self, for whom the show's thesis statement concerns the act of working to Make the kind of Love you want to have in this world, even if you were raised without a blueprint for it- I'm sorry but what else were me and my gay ass queer reading inclined hyperfixated brain to do other than take Evan Buckley into the folds and never let him go?

I love Buck. I was convinced by the time the s5 finale was airing before I had actually watched the show that Buck had to be bi. Even if they never did a thing with it you couldn't convince me otherwise and I was also confident that Oliver was portraying him with a similar mindset. I never wavered in that interpretation, even when the utter disappointment of the s6 finale and the failure to do anything truly meaningful character development wise through the lightning strike-Natalia speed run hit, and certainly not as I got fully caught up actually watching the show outside of tumblr live reactions during episode airings. I'll admit I was pretty ready to Check Out after the end of season 6, to the point where I hardly checked in on fandom at all going into 7 until the rumblings of possible canon Bi Buck reached me and I doubled back like "hold on, for real this time?" But when I say Check Out, I mean I was ready to walk away from the hyperfixation with a joint lack of satisfaction with canon & firm conviction that Buck was queer.

Things with Eddie are a lil different- and I want to try and keep this bit brief bc this is ultimately a post about Buck and Bucktommy and I have no interest in unsettling those of you who may have a queer reading connection to Eddie as real as the one I feel for Buck, but unfortunately this conversation cannot exist separately from the Eddie/Buddie of it all- I personally don't think Eddie is queer. I don't really think I ever did, even when I was in the thick of it with falling for Buddie. I know me saying this would cause certain audience to pelt me with accusations of fetishizing Buck or treating Eddie as nothing more than a vehicle for Queer Buck via Buddie- false! I actually think Eddie is an incredibly fascinating character, a deeply compelling representation of grief and fatherhood and masculinity, and also a hilariously weird lil bitch guy. I just don't feel like- especially having removed fanon glasses while actually starting to watch the show, and taking the time to acknowledge that the things about Buddie that appealed to me on a romantic level (this is NOT about their friendship which i stand by being beautiful and important) all boiled down elements I was reading within and onto BUCK specifically, not Eddie. Perhaps an impossible concept for some, the idea that Bi Buck could feel so real and apparent to me primarily divorced from the idea that Eddie had to be queer as well, but I won't bore you with my explanations for it, though I suspect the people tagged and still reading by this point know exactly what I am talking about.

All of this potentially obnoxious prologue to say, I've spent the last however many months falling in love with canon Bi Buck *insert footage of me speed running back into my daily fandom involvement/blog check ins the moment I knew Buck kissed a man*, with Bucktommy, and with Bucktommy fans.

For a long while there I had resigned myself to an odd, though perhaps not as unique as I thought, reality of loving and fully believing in Queer Buck, not necessarily feeling the same about Eddie or Buddie, but also in full agreement with many that already 6 seasons in with literally nothing else having remotely worked, Buddie would be the only satisfying conclusion for Buck's love story. This is again not exactly how I felt about Eddie- but a big part of that for me is that I don't think Eddie's primarily story in 911 is a love story. He's the vessel for telling other important, beautiful stories about fatherhood and forgiveness and that is OKAY bc not every characters story is a love story!!! Evan Buckley's is though (Despite some very weird and confusing things mr stark has just said about his character that actively contradict what hes previously said and what audiences have been looking at and for this entire time, but I digress)

But then! By whatever happy accident we want to call it 911 had Tommy Kinard fall back into its lap as the solution to what felt like the impossible: They found the ONE way they could introduce a non Eddie Diaz love interest for Buck that COULD be satisfying for Bucks story. Someone with connections to the 118 and the shows history and potential for further development within main storylines as his job directly pertains to their plots. Someone with such compelling connections for interweaving these two characters that it got us- including the showrunner- talking about the Red String of Fate. That it got some of the beloved tumblr pals I had been watching for years, who NEVER would have believed they'd ever root for a Buck endgame that wasnt Buddie doing exactly that, and with joy, love, and conviction. Again I'll ask, what else were me and my Buck loving brain to do but take Bucktommy into the folds and never let go? (apparently I hadn't considered that there was apparently horrifying alternative- more on that next!)

As you all damn well know, falling in love with Bucktommy has not come without its trails. I have never seen things in fandom as vile as the things I've seen go down here. And as I mentioned before, I've been IN IT with yall for a while, even if you didnt know it. I was here, lurking, and I know this fandom has had its highlight reels of racism and misogyny and harassment (despite certain factions current batshit consensus that things were "never bad" before *gasp* a couple of people, some over the ancient age *double gasp* of 30 heard about bucktommy through tumblr the same damn way the 90% of you who havent been watching since season 1 heard about buddie and decided to invest)

What happened tonight made me cry, for about 40 minutes straight. And yeah, its been a devastating week for us all for a lot of reasons. On top of the ~national dread (I'm a lesbian in the US btw) today was my 7th out of 9 straight days of open to close shifts in a demanding retail/management position, and I have a head cold so maybe this was just a Breaking Point after a whole lotta shit.

But also, maybe, it was really fucking shitty to watch this play out. I've already seen countless people say it better than I could. Yeah, its a tv show. It's a fictional ship. But its also escapism, a spot of joy many of us were extra dependent on this week. It was something GOOD, queer representation and a love story on national tv days after a horrifying reality set in for queer people, and we are allowed to acknowledge how much losing that sucks just on a general level for a second...

Second over, now lets talk not on the general level. Lets talk about how I've watched real human beings get harassed, sent death threats, be told they are faking cancer and failing to properly grieve dead loved ones, I've watched deeply homphobic language be adopted and incorporated into everyday use despite constant correction and pleas from queer men to knock it the hell off, I've watched homophia as a whole run rampant and unchecked by big blogs, with some biphobia to boot, I've seen some images of horrific anti gay violence and historical trauma invoked as a way to make fun of others, I've seen lesbianism slandered and proffered as an excuse for such vile behavior in a disgusting erasure of the beautiful solidarity that has historically existed between gay men and lesbians in the face of homophobia, and yes, I've seen graphic descriptions of child rape via targeted fanfiction attacks.

Again, others have already said it better than I can: This isn't about Bucktommy. It's about the way that everyone who was Pulling for them as a couple, who DARED to *checks scribble on hand* enjoy a canon queer mlm couple featuring a character (or two) they've grown to care deeply for, has been subjected to all the above mentioned and more, and for...what. For. What.

In the name of a fanon couple that has not been legitimized by the writers in 7 years? of a fanon character interpretation of a canonically straight man (not just assumed straight, verbally assigned straight now on multiple occasions) that people cannot fathom perceiving this show, let alone liking these characters, without? For the version of this story that, if the writers REALLY wanted to happen could have happened so many fucking times by now- especially when the show was coming to what might have been its end in s6- and still hasn't? A version that has been dismissed multiple times by the writers cast crew and every other unfortunate individual who has been harassed repeatedly about it?

And I'm not here to say Buddie is inherently bad!!!! It brought me into this same as the rest of you. I don't even believe it would necessarily be a bad or wrong conclusion for either character or the show were it to eventually, finally happen!! But for the love of god, hear me when i say from the outsider pov of someone who has experience the show in the way I did first through fandom then stepping back to watch for real and now watching it with my mother who is a near Exact representation of the general audience of this show (experienced Procedural watcher, no idea about Buddie or fandom interpretation, had no sense of gay eddie to speak of, and is not shocked but pleasantly surprised by and endeared by Bi Buck) you are SEVERELY deluded if you think what happened tonight by breaking up Bucktommy "makes sense" to any audience outside of buddies who've been writing manifestos for years about how every single thing in this show is "carefully, intentionally, clearly" leading to Buddie canon. I swear to you the people at home do not fucking see it. The people at home saw Buck in a nice, developing relationship that finally seemed to be going somewhere real for him after discovering an important part of his identity late in life, and then they saw that relationship abruptly ended and Buck heartbroken, going to sit with his best, still straight, bud Eddie Diaz. The ONLY people this makes sense for are the people who I am afraid it seems may have legimately bullied this into happening.

And if that is the case? We are sooo far fucking past the point of no return here. There is no true satisfaction in a Buddie canon endgame here for anyone who's lived through the past half a year in this fandom unless you were a perpetrator of any of the horrific shit mentioned above. I mean that with my whole fucking chest. If, and i do think it is a Big Fucking Fat if, Buddie does happen, and you find yourself no qualms happy and satisfied with it as your well earned endgame, I hope you know how rotted you are. And while I'm at it, I hope some way some how you come to see that this was not the carefully crafted beautifully developed loved story of all time you were gods bravest soldier in waiting for. Its just what left after years of meandering storytelling and cyclical character "development" with a bow slapped on top at the last moment because the gift giver was afraid you might kill them if they presented less.

Anyway. I said a million words ago that this was a love letter, and I do mean that. As much as its also been an mental health exercise for me to write this all out. So,

@kinardbuckleys @bucksboobs @kirkaut @tevankinkley @userautumn @sunglassesmish @tommyscurls @ohithankyou @buckxtommy @princessfbi @bigfootsmom @firewasabeast

(And so many other people I'm surely forgetting, and the few artists and writters on other platforms I dared to venture to- maybe never opening twitter again after this xoxo)

Thank you. You don't know me, I never quite got over the anxiety of trying to re-enter a fandom space after a time away, or maybe some of the imposter syndrome or embarrassment I felt accidentally falling in love with this show and Buck by just watching you all talk about him before anything else. But for the last few months, some of you years, you've been my community, my escape. I've loved watching your brains and your hearts work to discuss and create, even amidst the absolute shittiest fandom behavior Ive ever seen. And I am as grateful for getting to experience it from a far as I am devastated at the thought of losing it, of not individually typing in all your blog names (I was too anxious to even FOLLOW you guys truly rip) to see what new content or spec or art or love you had to share about Buck / Bucktommy every day.

In another life- one where idk perhaps people were kinder or showrunners weren't bullied and actors weren't dropped last minute after months of torment and a satisfying canon queer love story for a character who genuinely needs it could just Be in peace- I would have loved to one day put on my big girl pants (aka saved Buck url) joined the fandom for real. To have directly talked to any of you in a way that wasnt... this.

I would have loved to love Bucktommy with you.

[logicroute]

shin?

Sexuality Headcanon: gay and demiaroace :)

Gender Headcanon: NONBINARY!!! neither masc or fem, just nothing... mayhaps agender who know

A ship I have with said character: im sorry but keishin <3 alishin is also funny but its not a top fav

A BROTP I have with said character: god him and sara are so funny.... they are besties, they hate eachother, they are siblings

A NOTP I have with said character: other than the obvi (s*ushin and others..) him and reko tbh idk i see them both as that one photo of the lesbian flag kicking the gay flag

A random headcanon: he has a stutter !!! he like, tries to hide it to much

General opinion over said Character: god i love him so much im kissing him on the face but then kicking him away but also tucking him into bed <3

[ariadneslament]

Tumblr is an anomaly of social media, because in order to be staying here for years you have to be quite geeky about specific things or belong to certain groups of people. I think it's the power of Tumblr that it provides a sort of "Far from the Madding Crowd" medium that you can opt not to engage with the outside world, just indulge in your little worlds of interests. No wonder this place to some people has become a paradise of escapism.

Personally, I have recommended this blog as one of the two alternatives to my Twitter just several days after Musk's messy takeover of Twitter. I am on semi-anonymous mode on Twitter so I don't think I have something to lose here. Besides, a few months ago, Tumblr by mistake deleted my original personal blog for almost 10 years (it had been restored though after I pleaded with them via e-mail and they apologised as well). That moment alone got me panicked and scared, so I transformed this sleepy, rarely tended science blog into a second personal blog. Another main reason behind this is also that I have grown some liking towards some people I have met on Twitter (not morons I block of course) who stalk my humble account on a regular basis and I feel like Twitter, despite its glamour, is not enough to express certain aesthetic tendencies.

okay tumblr’s exclusion from the twitter social media ban list is hilarious but genuinely we do not belong on there. if a real human person asks “where can i find you on social media” and your choice is a swift death or revealing your tumblr, most of us would simply expire. half of y’all change urls every week like you’re in witness protection. just imagine for one second attaching your wholeass government name to your latest two am clownposting and tell me that didn’t send a cold chill down your spine. the only place i ever want to see the words “connect with me on tumblr!” is on the ao3 profile of an author i’m actively stalking. anyone in the world can follow me except anyone i personally know. antisocial media.

[annieqattheperipheral]

just a heads up to be mindful who's tags you're taking from inspiration. not sending this to stir shit but the person who's tags you were inspired by (and their delightful pack of cronies) aren't being very polite in their tags about you. just so you know!

😂😂😂😂😂 figured that was happening. what more do ppl need in terms of credit???

I tagged the person who said it

I screenshot the tag, didn't type it out myself

I linked to where it's from

Pls pls pls tell me what more I'm supposed to do. Please direct me to the tumblr hockeyblr fandom constitution. I'm not even joking. Pls tell me what I'm supposed to do.

I've done posts in this way before and you know what happened? I made friends with that person because we realized we had fun with each other's jokes. We created community. We had a back n forth of reblogging jokes on top of it. We had fun.

Why are you all so obsessed with credit??? And what more credit do you want when credit is given? Do you want a certificate of authenticity mailed to your house for a well done joke on tumblr dot com??? I'm honestly so confused. Y'all think I'm sitting around here going hahaha I'm gonna be the queen of hockeyblr by stealing jokes to gain clout for my anonymous online name that i don't even make money off of. Like what??? I'm not even sharing my tumblr posts anywhere else on the internet. I just dump hockey thoughts here then go live my life.

I'm tagging ppl bc i think they're hilarious and want to share their joke with more ppl. Why would you think i have nefarious intent???

Some ppl here honestly confuse tf outta me. Please tell me what your thoughts are. Explain it to me, I am an adult who has been in numerous fandoms since 12yrs old suddenly trying to figure out how to play in this very weird hockeyblr sandbox. Why do you have to make it so hard on ppl to enjoy a fun lil past time? This is not that serious.

In any case, in contrast, i think of my very loving hockeyblr mutuals. All of you make being here an absolute blast❤️❤️❤️ thanks for all your funny jokes and convos, love you all!!

just got an ask from an account that showed up as @/suppor24332 in my activity notes (an empty blog that exists) but appeared as “from anonymous” in my inbox. this is the ask

who the fuck is out there phishing on tumblr dot com...

[zzoupz]

Anonymous, cowardly people on Tumblr dot com when someone draws something else than their interests / likes just because:

(I'm so sorry you gotta deal with this horsepiss atm)

JBFJSFKSFMNK

it's fine, tbh I really get where they're coming from, all of the points are very valid. but they also don't realize it's really not that serious

[vrains-rewrite]

Hello! this blog is for a group of people wanting to rewrite yugioh vrains in a new context, honouring canon where it works, but including parts of the story that were cut for time (for example i am staring at season 3 directly into the eyes and promising I will flesh out the characters within it the way they deserve).

We'll also be patching up plot holes that have been mildly annoying us for years now, and making changes here and there to duels and to world-building, and you (the people of tumblr dot com) can influence this.

Writing isn't actually going to begin until a month or two from now, but until then, this blog is going to be a place for us to gather information on the changes people want to see Asks (including anonymous) are fully open. You'll soon get introductions from each of the creators (there's currently 3 of us working on this) and posts discussing changes that could be made (though we cant spoil the whole thing of course lol

Expect more from us
