#because my tumblr dislikes videos

[which-qsmp-egg-would]

CAMP DAY 1

As you all pile out of the bus, encumbered by way too much luggage and new friends, you notice a large screen sat inexplicably in the center of the entrance, under an archway that says "Camp Egg". It looks like you won't be able to enter until the video finishes playing.

As the video ends, Not-Cucurucho steps out from behind the large screen and wheels it away.

He returns with a stack of papers and, one by one, he distributes them to each of you, instructing you to read it.

Cucurucho- er, Not-Cucurucho, mentions that more camper may arrive while camp is still running.

Once again, he reminds you all that if you have any questions, that you should bring them to him.

He looks at each of you, one at a time, before finally saying:

"Please proceed to your cabins. You will recieve your bandana, and your counselor will help you unpack your bags and get settled."

"I hope you enjoy Camp Egg."

I agree that we educators need a place to vent about our jobs, online places as well… but I draw the line at recording yourself interacting with a student who is clearly disregulated. I don’t care if you can’t see the student and can only hear their voice; you are recording their voice during a vulnerable moment. That’s almost on-par with autism parents recording their autistic children having a meltdown. I don’t care how much of an asshole your student is; you don’t do that.

i sort of hate when creators of a piece of media are on this app. because then i can't say anything bad about that piece of media because they'll see it

[theharddeck]

different strokes for different folks, we all use social media and online platforms for different things, etc… y’all don’t actually have to hate tiktok. if it’s not your speed, 10000% fair, that’s your prerogative, and I’m not gonna sell it to y’all, but people can be into it and like that’s okay too

[antiadvil]

I still don't understand why some people think that Dan and Phil dislike large swathes of the phandom. They know we're crazy! It's one of the reasons they love us so much! We submitted them to an RPF tournament 114 times and printed out a screenshot of the final poll and sent it in as a fucking preshow question and they reblogged the poll to help us win. They printed us sweatshirts saying legalize catboys and we wore them in public and then, on twitter, we found the normal people who posted about seeing us. We raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for charity and in return they gave each other eyebrow slits live on camera because they know we love to see them embrace edgier looks and touch each other. We told them that they raised us and instead of saying "no we didn't who are you" they apologized for being bad parents and sold us a hat that said "Dan and Phil are my dads." They turned Dan into a golden pig; no one even asked for that! In any way! They just did that! For the memes and the Dragon City sponsorship money! Someone made a post nine years ago about Dan and Phil kissing onstage at a combined MCR/FOB/panic concert and we kept passing that post around and referencing it for nine years, and when they realized MCR and FOB were performing together for the first time in more than a decade, they decided to reenact the post and put it on instagram, tumblr, twitter, and tiktok. We said their Sims 4 outfits were ugly, they made an entire apology video. We shipped them together, they said surprise! Our show is the matchmaking event of the century. They named their show tit. THEY NAMED THEIR SHOW TIT. We're crazy. They're crazy. Together, we've created one of the most unhinged fanbases on the internet. We matched each other's phreak and I think there's something pheautiful about that.

IN CONCLUSION: oooooh you want to change to firefox so badly, you want to delete chrome and all the chrome clones that are actually just spyware and use firefox

HOW TO USE MOZILLA ADD-ONS ON YOUR PHONE

if you already use firefox on android, you'll know there are certain add-ons compatible with the app, some of them even being made just for the mobile version such as Video Background Play FIx. while most of them are pretty useful, some more specific ones aren't available on this version of the browser, but there's a way of getting some of them to work

you need to download the firefox nightly app, which is basically the same as the regular firefox browser but with the ability of activating developer mode. you can find how to do that here. once you've enabled it, you need to create a collection with all the add ons you want. i wouldn't recommend adding extensions if the creators haven't talked about phone compatibility, but XKit and Shinigami Eyes should work

also, don't tell the government this secret skater move, but you can try using both the regular firefox browser and nightly so you can have youtube videos in a floating box while you browse social media.

see? i can block this terf while Rick Rolling the people following this tutorial. isn't that tubular?

A Vidding Primer

A guide written for @wren-of-the-woods who asked for advice about how to start vidding! This is far from comprehensive and I tried not to make it too dense because it's a big subject. I still wanted to share a variety of topics about getting into vidding because it's a hobby and art that is near and dear to my heart.

First Piece of Advice

watch a lot of vids and rewatch vids multiple times. Seek out vids on YouTube, AO3, Watch the TikTok and Twitter/X vids that show up on tumblr or wherever you’re browsing. They all have distinct styles and tools/techniques they use to make their vids and edits. Rewatch the vids and ask yourself what you like or dislike about them. The song, the editing, the source. That can give you a good starting point about how you might want to approach making your own fanvids. The TikTok style of 30 and 40 second edits are very different what you find on YouTube. YouTube editors tend to use a full song and a lot more effects and a lot more overlapping dialogue. Whereas the fanvids - Vids - from people who came into vidding in the mid 2000s/2010s have their own culture, different ways they approach song choice, clip choices and narrative. I also suggest watching vids for shows/films you’re not familiar with as well as your fandom favorites. You can learn a lot about how vidders try to tell a story even when you might not grasp the context behind certain scenes but you can still follow along with the emotional arc of the vid.

Second Piece of Advice

Have fun and enjoy yourself. Everyone starts a new hobby as a newbie. It can be a lot of effort to make 30 seconds or a 3 minute vid, but it’s such a unique type of fanwork that is fun to watch and fun to make. It can also be migraine inducing because of all the learning and technical issues along the way. But!! omg when you make a clip fall on the perfect beat with your blorbo crying that perfect tear or you find an idea and sources for the bestest perfect lyrics of the song, it’s a magnificent high. It can make you feel like a god. At least that’s how I feel a lot of times!

There are about 10 steps* to creating** a fanvid/edit:

• select your platform and software (phone/computer video editors) • gather your video and audio files • create a new project in your video editor • import audio into the editor • import the video into the software and mute audio tracks that contain your video’s audio • review, label and cut up the video into shorter clips - this step is known as ‘clipping’ in vidding parlance, but it’s also optional. Some people pull in movies and scrub through the whole film and just pull it directly onto the timeline • move the various video clips around on the timeline to match the audio track you’ve chosen for your project, add video effects and additional dialogue if you like • export the finished timeline • upload the video to a streaming platform and/or downloadable service • share your project!!! posting to ao3 and/or social media or share on discord, etc * there are a lot more steps involved with each of these steps. What what software to use, where to find video, how to deal with copyright blocks on Youtube, etc. Some of that will be covered in the links below but is not comprehensive. That would require separate posts and links and I don’t want to drop an encyclopedia on you right now! I’m happy to provide more resources that I can curate if you want more direction and pointers to resources and amazing vidders.

** like any hobby, there can and will be a learning curve and frustrations. Blank page for a writer, blank timeline for a vidder. Is anything you put down is any good, self esteem and confusion about what actually makes sense is part and parcel for any creative work. Once you're in the vidding process and committed, as long as you're enjoying yourself you gotta just keep going to get it done.

Getting Started Vidding

My knowledge and background and learning how to vid from people on livejournal and dreamwidth from 2007. I don’t have any experience in editing with a phone but if that’s something you’re interested in, YouTube will be a place for you to start finding tutorials for various apps and tools. Probably discord communities, too. Vidding Workshop - a great how-to/guide when you're starting out. This is on dreamwidth from the WisCon vidparty in 2014. Some of the tech discussions might be a little outdated but there’s a ton of relevant information. It covers technical subjects as well as developing vid ideas and actually getting started. If you have any questions about what you’re reading you can leave an anonymous comment and ask - some of these vidders responding inthe threads are still active. You can find them on AO3/YouTube, tumblr, discord and actually leave them questions about their vids. Many vidders are more than thrilled to talk about their vids and answer questions. Vexcercises - this is a dreamwidth community for short-form vid excercises. This is a very structured way of introducing vid concepts and constraints so that you can produce a vidlet. I highly recommend you check this out and participate! There’s even an AO3 collection so you can check out how people have done the different exercises, too.

The Process of Vidding

Watch Me Edit - @limblogs put together a fantastic playlist of YouTube editors who will show you beginning to end how they made their vid. A lot of these editors appear to be using Sony Vegas but the general process of vidding end-to-end will be similar with other nonlinear editors like DaVinci Resolve, Premiere, etc. It’s a great way to actually see the vid come together if you don’t know what that even looks like. Every vidder will develop their own workflow and approach (which might even change from vid to vid), but it’s useful to see in video how people actually DO the thing. @limblogs also created a handy YouTube playlist some vidders from Bradcpu’s Vidder Profiles (Fanlore page). These profiles are basically like a director’s DVD commentary on their vidding process, featuring the vidders talking over their own vids! So cool. Phenomnal insights from these vidders about how they choose song, use effects, think about their narratives.

Self Rec: I recently did a vidding textpost series called: do it for the process - a naked vid draft: What (Yennefer of Vengerberg). How I Edit by @vimesbootstheory is another textpost about their vidding process. Self rec: Here’s my text interview: Vidder Profile - Kuwdora 2011. I talk about my process with a lot of specific examples from my previous work and lots of screenshots. This profile is over a decade old but a lot of this still holds true for me today! videlicet - this is an incredible vidding zine that @limblogs put togegther with a lot of amazing contributors. These articles and discuss about specific vids and aspects of vidding. It’s really detailed and a fantastic piece of vidding culture. I highly reading recommend the Demystifying Vidding article by lim and the A History of Vidding by @meeedeee and…pretty much every article in the zine!

Doing the vidding!

I recommend joining exchanges and watching vids that come out of exchanges and checking out fannish cons that have vidshows and discords to get more exposure to vidders and vids. Many people have joined @festivids (AO3 collection here) and made their very first vid, it's a very fun and great way to get into vidding. It’s not quite festivids season right now but time flies and it will be time to nominate sources and do sign-ups in the blink of an eye. Follow @festivids and check out the AO3 collection and see what people are making. Join the Vexcercises community and make some short vids and share them on your tumblr or on discord or somewhere and bask in the thrill of making your first fanvids. Check out who reblogged the vidder ask game - go and read other vidders responses and ask some new-to-you vidders questions. Everyone has their own take on process and tech and everything. It's great to hear and see what a lot people are doing and making.

Final Advice - talking about vids and doing the vidding

• watch vids • rewatch vids • leave a comment and ask a question about something you saw in their vid! • Again: find someone’s AO3 page of fanvids and ask them something about their vid in a comment or send them asks on tumblr (people usually have the same alias or link to their tumblr or dreamwidth pages somewhere.) • YouTube can be a valuable resource for tutorials so if you don't know something, there is likely someone who has made a tutorial about how to use a cross dissolve transition or anything else you might want to replicate in a video that you've seen in a vid. • start making a vid, scream and cry, ask for help, and keep going until you get it done. Celebrate and bask in your completed vid and share it with everyone! • Follow vidders on tumblr that you find from the vidder ask game • Check out the vidding discord for community and questions and vid recs and news about vidding exchanges and cons. • Have fun!

Hope this helps you get started! Thank you so much for the ask! Let me know if you have more questions and I can help you out or send you to cool vidders who have great advice and suggestions. And please send me your vid if you make one!

This fanart is for @scientificallywrongsoap (or Glitch.) and is of Subject 7-1!

I pixalated the end result a smidge to imidate the (somewhat) low quality of really old otome games. That is all I could really do, because I didn't find enough otome game references that are old. My references were limited.

I honestly needed an idea how to draw you, good sir, for a while now and your video basically threw a whole lot of ideas at me! Not that I was able to do all of them, but this one alone was so much fun and educational. :D

The original plan was to do all three of your Soap variants.

I wanted to animate it a little too, like a little game teaser, switching through the options and having a few of their reactions. (Like your video showed, just as an animation)

In the end, just the greyscale I build this up on took me 14+ hours.

Well, maybe another day!

I'm sorry for tagging you, Glitch, if you dislike it on tumblr as well. Just wanted to make sure the credit is right. :/ You are a very cool and inspiring person, so I want to respect your boundaries.

Program used: Ibis Paint X

Time taken: 17h 14min (1:44h for sketch + 15:14h rendering of 7-1 + 0:14h of finishing touches, text and glitter)

(Closed captions and subtitles are available in multiple languages)

With this video, I actually ran a small experiment.

I was curious as to what YouTube would do with my vids if I did not share them myself. Therefore, I let this video sit on YouTube for a week without sharing.

However, the results startled me...

It turns out YouTube does not actually share my videos!!! According to my analytics, the video was not shared with anyone outside of my subscribers, and even then, I'm not convinced that most of my subscribers were even alerted to the video....

Mind you, I spent WEEKS on the music and soundtrack alone. I pour my all into every piece of content I make, and for YouTube to not even allow people to see it...is not right. 😔😔😔

So, that means, it's up to me. Or, I should say, it's up to US! Because, for my channel to be successful, I can not do this alone. 💜

So, If you like my videos, or like what I do, please consider the following methods of support:

On Tumblr

• Although I cherish each and every like and comment, if you enjoy my video and want others to see it, please REBLOG. (If not, I understand!!! But do let me know if there is something in my vids you dislike. I welcome all criticism and I am always trying to improve! 🙌)

On YouTube

YouTube's algorithm is kicking my butt! Lol. To let it know that you want it to share my work with others, please: • Subscribe and Hit the Bell, otherwise YT won't let you know when I upload. • Comment and Like for the engagement. (The algorithm loves engagement!)

And Beyond: KOFI | 🎵 BANDCAMP🎵

(only if you are so inclined. If not, again, no worries!!!!💜)

○○○○

PS. Btw, my next few vids are well into production, and let's just say...they're starting to get a bit more...fashionable...

So Please Stay Tuned! 💜💜💜

I love ya, and appreciate you! Thank you so much for all of your support. 😫🥺😌

💜💜💜

edward art quotes that help me understand the law 📸

imp : read it slowly and you will understand , I used to have the habit of skimming through his videos and texts & I would always sit in confusion and frustration . it’s truly revealing when you read slow and steady same with posts on tumblr . read fully . listen to the message completely .

💐 hey siri play flowers by Miley Cyrus

“ Now, when we speak of “future” and “past,” we must not confuse this with the only time we can experience, which is NOW. We can only experience Consciousness. When we dwell on a past mistake, we are essentially becoming Re-Aware of Being that Version in the Now. Since consciousness is the only reality, we are not just “dwelling on the past” but in fact reliving that experience and we are Being that Version in reality. This is vitally important, because our thoughts of the past that we dwell on, do not recede but precede in our future, because everything comes from Consciousness, and Consciousness can only experience Now. What we experience NOW, is what we are Aware of Being, which Version we are Aware of Being. What we are Aware of Being, manifests. “

“ When you experience something you disliked and it happened a few years ago, where do you think that experience is taking place? If you fear the future, where do you think that is taking place? It is all happening within your Mind, "self." Past/future only exist in the mind. And you have the luxury to change what you wish in your mind. “

“ Neville tells us to not live in desire. The Bible tells to stop sinning. William Blake tells us not to suppress our desire. Take these words very seriously. If you have tiny bit of desire, no matter how small, Neville tells us to fulfill it mentally. Keep pruning each day. Remove rules. Remove consequences. Remove the outer-world when you imagine. Remove all ideas of what you "should do" or "have to do." Do what you want. “

Whenever I am not feeling and imagining well, the answer is this: "I am not imagining what I want." This is always my answer. The moment I actually go towards exactly what I want, I become fulfilled. The fears all away and bliss comes. I do not care what the world thinks about it. I do not care what my circumstances are Neville tells us to not live in desire. The Bible tells to stop sinning.

I do not care what fears pop up. None of that matters to me. All that matters is that I fulfill it within me. This is what actually changes me.

“ Neville said this: "You want to be free of all embarrassment? How would you feel this night if you were not embarrassed, that not a thing in this world could embarrass you? How would you feel where it so?" Here is a quote that must be taken seriously. You see, I always felt the world is unsafe. I would act upon this feeling, always feeling uneasy and I world create thoughts of me being harmed from the world. But imagining that my world is safe, I get all sorts of feelings. I get feelings and thoughts like "Sure you can imagine that but come on... there are crazy people out there." "It would be nice to believe that but you know people can be harmful," etc. But that is what I WANT. I want to feel that, I want to experience that. I want to imagine that and believe that. That is what I want. Why reject myself from that experience? Neville is saying, "What if NOTHING could embarrass you?" What if your world was safe? What if your world always worked toward the fulfillment of your desires instead of having opposition? When I assume it, I do not care about how it will happen or when, or even if it is possible. All I care about is changing my entire feeling to exactly what I want. Then it's own strange way, it grows in my world. This is what I mean by giving yourself what you truly want. Find something deep that you want, and dare to assume it. This is what truly changes the "self" and that "self" will be expressed. “

previous events:

[rat-rosemary]

anon who wants a summary:

the timeline:

dream published a meme which used the r slur to insult tommyinnit stans. this sparked outrage (because it's a slur).

dream defended himself by explaining he was called slurs by nicholas cantu and half the internet and people said that was justified because cantu was autistic and pan, and dream himself is autistic. he as a result thought he was allowed to say the r slur. dream also deleted the tweet a few hours later.

tubbo made a stream where he analyzed dream's response and brought up his own reasons for disliking dream. tubbo's (and most of dsmp twitter's) take is that the r slur was used as an insult in this case and therefore there is no reclaiming it.*

dream responded to tubbo's stream. however, his focus was mostly on addressing the context of why he made his tweet (what he feels was a constant harassment by Tommy and his friends who've been implying terrible things, such as Dream being a pedophile, for months) and talking about some of the problems tubbo brought up. he showed a number of evidence to back some of his main points, like this DM where he asks Tommy to stop making inappropriate jokes about him:

tubbo then responded to dream's stream. tubbo's main issue with it seems that Dream justified context, but didn't really go into the tweet itself.

Tommy also published a 5 mn video accusing Dream of various negative things, which basically reiterated most of tubbo's grievances. (none of them are criminal offenses or the like)

issues Tommy and Tubbo brought up:

feeling like Dream implied they owed their careers to them. There is no evidence of this. Dream has talked about a couple miscommunication/joke situations and brought up multiple times that he felt he was just shining a spotlight on people that would've made it anyways. Tubbo repeatedly said he "just doesn't believe this" and Tommy feels that in fact "[Tommy] made the DSMP."

Dream contacting Tommy's mom in 2023 following drama at the time. Tommy felt like there was a betrayal of trust and Dream apologized. I'll attach the DM, you can decide for yourself how you feel about it.

A situation where in the DSMP discord someone brought up skephalo porn art and Tubbo, a minor at the time, was there. Dream brought up in his stream that he was not there. Tubbo in his second stream said "that's fair." I think this is resolved..?

Dream's circle of friends being misogynistic. There is no evidence from this from Tommy and Tubbo, apart from vibes basically (which could still mean there's a problem! but atm it seems to be just vibes).

Tubbo vaguely accused Dream and his friend George of queerbaiting? Dream didn't address this but has multiple times said they weren't dating.

I can't think of anything else but I might've missed something! And obviously I think this is all correct but it might not be because I am a #flawed human being.

I tried keeping this as short, concise, and as unbiased as I could but obviously I rambled. A LOT more was said by everybody involved, but I tried my best :(

*this point is particularly interesting, because I've seen enough discourse on both Tumblr and Twitter to feel like it's a complicated issue that people haven't clearly cut one way or another. Making this point because most of dsmp twitter agreeing with something does not necessarily make them right (but you can ofc decided by yourself).

Thank you so much Star!!!

I'm going to once again plead for everyone to watch the original streams so they have full context, but I know they're long and not everyone can or wants to do it, so I am willing to further explain and give more context to anything you don't quite understand or have doubts about :]

[fallershipping]

You ever think about a general fandom perception of "Het" or M/F ships?

In my circles, and for a long time since I was very very young, there was always contention with them, and not without reason. Anime and cartoons often depicted female characters as just the "love interest" meant only for romantic interactions, or that the (typical male) MC would crush on another different-gendered character almost obsessively. Back then, some people considered these characters as "getting in the way of my yaoi!!" but the reality was that writers didn't give female characters the same deep and interesting character dynamic an MC would have with a rival. I think this is still happening in fact, especially in the anime that the circles i'm in consume.

And beyond that, hetero-oriented dynamics are forced upon everywhere in media. From advertisements, to movies even where romance isn't necessary, shows, cartoons, video games, anime, everywhere. People who grew up with this have grown to write more queer relationships in media because-- it is tiring to see hetero content being so forced and shoved in your face. (which it is)

And often did I grow up on tumblr and twitter seeing artists grow tired of M/F, joking about it being boring, appealing to only the heteronormative especially if someone else (or canon) gives them kids. People aren't afraid of expressing their dislike or exhaustion with M/F especially when they want to see their favorite characters with dynamics more personal to them.

I can completely understand this.

I was even affected by fandom culture and the exhaustion of media. I was, still kinda am, nervous of things feeling too hetero. Too dull and you never want to stray anywhere close to the archaic 1950s past of a loving housewife and the man of the household. But I do like a lot of M/F pairings, especially this one. I like the concept of two equal partners, I like that it's not about gender roles or that "man has to like woman" but that they are a bit of an odd couple no one expected. And I want to show them off RIGHT, yknow?

At the same time, I'm glad that the perception is somewhat changing from "all het/female love interests are bad" to "bad writing is bad, and I would prefer the author to write a female character just as well as how they write male characters."

How about you? What is your personal opinion when it comes to M/F content shipwise

Lily answering someone asking how she feels about "belive all victims" with essentially saying well no one believes me because they hate me really annoyed me.

The thing is I do believe her about being SAd by her teacher. I believe it because she doesn't mention it hardly at all or use it as a gotcha or constantly reference it in her writing. She doesn't talk about in the shallow way she does with what she claims Courtney did to her. The few times she has talked about, it's not brought up with the intent to simply call said abuser a freak or insult them.

I don't believe her about Courtney because she used other tactics to get people to ignore Courtney before settling on using an uno reverse. Probably doing so because then she can shame the people who find the sudden story odd, due to leftists (her core audience now) using this phrase as a rallying call.

Me not believing her about Courtney has nothing to do with disliking her. It has to do with how she claimed it out of nowhere when she was under more scrutiny. It has to do with how easily she talks about it, awnsering asks casually and clearly using them as an excuse to lob childish insults at Courtney, including being really ableist. It is because she's turned around and made overly affectionate siblings her new personality, and brought it up in every video as if to remind people.

Meanwhile, again, she never brings up the abuse of her teacher (except as an excuse to blame Courtney for it somehow). Because that was traumatic for her and it does make her uncomfortable to talk about. She doesn't want that to be her brand. She's not writing good teacher and student relationships to heal her trauma like she claims she's doing with her resent sibling stories.

But she has to claim people don't belive her because they hate her instead of actually accepting that people don't belive her because she's essentially turned her claimed abuse into a marketing campaign for herself, while also using petty insults, and finding any excuse to talk about incest.

My reasoning for not believing Lily’s accusations against Courtney, besides her obvious inconsistencies, is because she’s made this same claim several times before.

When she and Lizzy first broke up, she was quick to accuse the other of swatting her, despite it being clear if anyone had been called—it would’ve been for a genuine welfare check because Lily spent most the night and morning before posting suicide baiting posts to tumblr. Then she claimed said officers assaulted her, as well as adding that Lizzy herself raped her during their relationship.

And still, those are not the only times Lily has claimed to be assaulted!

If all this is true, Jesus fucking Christ, that’s a lot for any one person—but the problem is, I know Lily is a liar! I can’t trust her word for any of these accounts because I know she lies and embellishes and changes her stories on a dime with no rhyme or reason!

She lied about having cancer. Cancer. Literally, what did she expect?

Hi Nancy,

I hope it's okay I turn to you with this, but I just recently joined spn tumblr so I haven't really discovered many blogs I share my opinions with yet (though I did find some awesome blogs I'm excited to follow, but most of them only really talk about spn and the characters and not the actors, and this ask is concerned with j2m and danneel). Buckle up, this will be long because I tend to over-explain myself. Sorry in advance.

So I've been in the fandom since 2018 but haven't really paid attention to the cast other than watching some gag reels/bloopers, interviews with j2(m) and clips from cons. I never dug deep into the relationships/dynamics of the cast members (and also took like a 3-year break from the fandom so I'm not at all up-to-date)

I like to think I'm pretty good at reading people (in that when I find someone likeable they tend to prove themselves to be a good person and when I dislike someone seemingly for no reason I usually discover some pretty fucked up things about that person later on. Obviously with celebrities you never actually know what they are like irl but so far I've been right about people as far as I know.)

All this to say that I had an inkling about misha from the start, even though I never cared enough to do my research and justify my dislike towards him. I always got this pick me vibe from him, and like he's trying to insert himself into the j2 friendship to seem more relevant and likeable. And it seemed pretty clear to me that he is clinging to jensen and making it look like they are besties, ignoring jared or making him look bad as much as he can get away with only to fuel destiehellers in their belief that jensen also supports destiel and that jared is to blame for it not being canon. I've since found your masterpost about why you're anti misha, and finally feel justified in my feelings towards him, so thank you for collecting his shitty displays in one place.

So what my ask is about (getting to my point at last) is that in my browsing the anti misha tags I came across the anti danneel tag and decided to check it out out of curiosity (and arrogance, as I wanted to see if I was right about danneel as well, since I always got a bad vibe from her too (even though I never actually paid attentionto her)). And I did find some things that makes me think her and jensen's relationship isn't a healthy one built on mutual love and respect, and is possibly even abusive. I'm inclined to believe it not only because of my own instinct, but because of a video I saw where jensen's body language screamed that he is uncomfortable while sitting next to danneel who was rubbing/petting his back (though I don't have context for that clip so there might be another explanation for his body language that I'm not aware of). However the only 'evidence' about her being abusive was instagram posts that were (slight) jabs at jensen, that could just as likely be playful teasing as actual bullying depending on their relationship dynamic and whether the teasing is reciprocated imo (& there's no way of knowing how they interact in private so who knows). I'd be curious to know if there are more concrete instances of her treating jensen badly or generally being a bad person, but I couldn't really find anything useful in the tags.

But anyways, reading these posts I discovered yet another anti tag, this time anti jensen, which I definitely did not expect. I obviously know about The Winchesters drama but I thought they moved past it and are tight again, so I'm confused about what other reason there is for people to be anti jensen. I've seen some posts discussing him not standing up for jared/not being very supportive of him, siding with misha (though I'm especially sceptical about that one) etc.

I would like to be better informed about these things without having to watch hours of footage to analyse their interactions or read through hundreds of posts that either have some proof or not, without having to decipher whether what someone says is their opinion/interpretation or actual things that happened. From looking through some of your posts you seem to be well informed and trustworthy, so I'd kindly ask if you could explain the situation to the best of your knowledge or refer me to someone who has more information regarding danneel and jensen's relationship as well as jensen and jared's and can provide receipts. Thank you so much, and again sorry for this super long ask <3

Hello my darling.❤️ Nothing to apologize for.

@lightofraye recently posted an awesome anti danneel post with pics and videos. HERE

As for anti Jensen, for me, the prequel mess is a done deal. J2 have moved on from it and are besties again. I have the 'anti jensen' tag blacklisted. I really don't see him picking misha over ANYONE, let alone Jared.

Maybe @its-sassyboots @hologramcowboy or @walkergirlsposts can help you with the anti Jensen stuff.

Not a Question, but-

Hi! I have a confession to make.

I’m the person who submitted the “Is it Immature to Dislike People for Not Liking to Eat Certain Parts of Food” poll question for this blog.

https://www.tumblr.com/yesornopolls/754935312702210048/ex-not-liking-to-eat-the-crust-of-a-pizza

I want to clarify that I’m autistic and have sensory issues when it comes to eating food, so I voted “No” when this poll I submitted came out.

The REASON I submitted that poll was, because, well, I saw a video making fun of people who don’t like eating the crusts of pizza, and as someone who does not eat pizza crusts due to me being sensory about certain tastes and textures within my mouth, I honestly couldn’t help but feel mildly irritated by that video.

So because of that I decided to submit this poll question to see what the people of Tumblr have to say about that point of view.

So yeah - I’m not a person questioning whether or not I should dislike a person based on what parts of food they choose to NOT eat, but instead someone who wanted to see if other people are irritated by people who judge others for not eating certain parts of food as well.

(Also, I meant to ask whether or not it is immature for someone to dislike the act of NOT eating certain parts of food instead, of disliking the person themselves for doing that.

I’m so sorry that I worded that question wrong and anything else within this ask and/or confession.

Feel free to vote on the poll based on what the poll question states instead of what I meant to say within it).

Thank you for reading this confession and happy Disability Pride Month! 💖

Thank you for the clarification
