hi do you have any tips for people just joining tumblr? people on a /lgbt/ discord say it's where they're moving but I've never used it. is there like a 'introduce yourself' place or something

you’re gonna want to lean into an inscrutable gimmick that alienates everyone and acts as a funhouse mirror distortion of your personality whilst prompting 2,000 randos to send you asks that aren’t funny

I read someone on here saying that this would have happened to Caitlyn at least once and - I strongly agree

Obsessed with the idea of Mobei Jun going through most of his life thinking that he's the only one smart enough to pick up on Shang Qinghua's worth and try to court him, only to walk into a room one day (prior to his ascension) and see Luo Binghe's husband beating up his man in what is clearly a non-serious and recreational fashion.

Just how long has this been going on for? Is this why Qinghua has never formally accepted any of his proposals? How is he supposed to retaliate when Junshang will kill him on the spot for any perceived attack on his husband? The one guy he probably can't challenge to a duel, and he's clearly trying to seduce Mobei's man out from under him!

But what can he do? More violence? Sluttier outfits? Longer attempts at meaningful eye-contact? He was already pulling out all the stops, what does this stupid scholar have that he doesn't, huh?

watching severance is crazy. what if a show had multiple coherent plotlines and also asked questions about what it means to be a person through a truly unique lens that inspires new ethical and philosophical discussions in 2025 when so many of those conversations have been had a million times already. what if personhood and love are inseparable and it is impossible for humans to not form community. how much of you is your memories/how does nature vs nurture come into play in a vacuum? what if that vacuum popped? what if a part of you wanted to go to heaven so you created a new version of yourself? who would you be without the pressures of the outside world?

I feel fandom would get along a lot better if there was mutual understanding that liking a character, agreeing with a character, and thinking the character is well constructed/executed are all separate (if often overlapping) positions, each with their separate tastes and subjectivities. Also: character portrayals are intended to make the audience feel things; this is separate from (if often overlapping with) analyzing/appreciating their actions and role in the story.

after literal years i finally got around to downloading a pdf of the wipers times, an unsancitioned satitical british trench magazine circulated among the troops in france from 1916-1918 after the fortuitous discovery of a printing press. i have approximately five million other things i need to read so idk when i'll be able to devote much time to it, and i gotta pick up a proper copy bc it's missing at least salient no 4 vol 2. that said? i'm genuinely laughing at what i've skimmed so far

”I never told you how sorry I was”

a quick illustration of something that popped into my head. Every time I read/remember about Turtle’s exile from his band of brothers after failing to find Snapper I feel like crying/murdering his brothers. Who does that to a kid who was just doing his best? Anyways, this is his hatchmate sister (who died halfway through incubation) and the other two that were supposedly his fault. I think their spirits would comfort him during his lowest point, before he eventually enchants his forgiveness back.

i feel like people forget that tim stoker is just. a huge fuckin nerd. like yeah he's Assigned Canonically Hot by Basira, kayaking king etc. but he references iocaine powder from the princess bride! he has a specialist interest in architecture and regularly infodumps about robert smirke to jon! he casually namedrops stanislavski while bantering with sasha! he's got a first class degree from trinity college! he's forever borrowing books from the library! he's able to regularly phish utility companies for confidential information! he figures out where the unknowing will happen based solely off his own research even though the rest of the archival team have been trying for months! anyway live laugh love timothy stoker you wouldve been a great archivist if you weren't so silly at heart.
