#but that doesnt mean the OP of every post i reblog is

[tallymali]

idk who needs to hear this but consensual kink also applies to online interactions which means maybe dont add your little kinky monologues to random peoples posts because they didnt consent to that!!!!!!

[trannydykes]

Y'all need to SHUT UP about "transandrophobia/transmisandry". I saw a post the other day I haven't stopped thinking about, about transmisogyny, and like most the comments were going "Isn't that just transphobia?" (Which is already wild, 'cause it isn't. Since transmisogyny is the overlap of two very real oppressions: Transphobia & Misogyny)

But one was like "Sees post abt transmisogyny, checks blog, transandrophobe. like clockwork." When literally there was no posts on OPs blog that were hateful toward transmascs/men... just posts talking abt OPs experience with transmisogyny. (even if there were it wouldn't be "transandrophobia" cuz its not real, it would just be either transphobia or bullying/harassment depending on if their transness was attacked)

If you see people talking abt women's issues and think "This means they HATE men!!" (trans or no) you need to stop an think for a moment. Women on this site can't make ANY exclusive post (Transmisogyny, Lesbianism, or just talking abt being women) without guys coming along and going "How can I make this about me?".

And I know it's mostly trans men who are suffering through dysphoria and thinking about women makes them ick. But consider for a moment that you don't need to verbalize those thoughts, especially under posts that aren't about you/your experiences.

Please refrain at least from doing it under other ppls posts, I'm begging.

OPs note: I'm not being hostile/trying to start shit. Im just upset and wanna talk abt it. I'm transmasc myself (tho not a man).

[txttletale]

roadhogsbigbelly is doubling down. genuinely incredible (yes i am aware how deeply funny it is to start a serious post with that sentence. it is my one allotment of levity)

oh okay you just assumed that "loliporn" was involved and something that i deserved to be associated with defending and accused of making "integral to the queer identity" because of stuff that the OP (who i cannot stress enough i never followed or talked to or knew in any fucking way!) did that got called out months after i made my addition?

the rest of his post is just a very lengthy way of saying "umm if you didn't want to be called a pedophile because you were mean about stardew valley maybe you should be more careful about how you reblog from". yeah buddy im sure you apply that standard to yourself too huh. im sure you pull out your Bad Person detector every time you reblog a fucking post and beam OP with it. you literally screenshot my post about how as a trans women i get this standard uniquely applied to me and went "um its a good standard though. answer for the actions of every fucking person youve ever reblogged a post by".

and all this whole fucking schtick where he's like "ummmm im not calling you a pedophile :) i just assumed you thought 'loliporn was integral to the queer identity' based on source: i made it up and am going out of my way to repeatedly say you're agreeing with pedophiles and not being wary enough about pedophiles and that 99% of people who make the type of post im accusing you of making are pedophiles" is so fucking pathetic and if you fall for it you are a blatant transmisogynist like come the fuck on man.

i am no longer having a nice time on the computer, i am pretty fucking angry. and all this because he "doesnt have much skin in the game" but he doesn't like my stardew valley takes! yeah man real proportionate response.

not to mention the aside he makes to say 'wah wah someone told me to kill myself' amiguito do you have any fucking idea what my inbox has looked like since this entire transmisogynistic harassment campaign began a week ago? i delete those asks because i'm not into flaunting every piece of online abuse i get to make myself look like the victim in computer arguments but it has been constant and graphic! breaking news, women are people too, some of the most cutting-edge research suggests they might even have feelings!

"oh i censored her identity i dont know how she even found it" oh okay so you were anonymously pedojacketing me to your thousands of followers while vaguing about a post i made that had thousands of notes and using the same screenshot that an uncensored version of was passed around with thousands of notes as part of a transmisogynistic harassment campaign last fucking week?

how could anyone possibly have guessed it was me! it's a real mystery man it was basically witness protection. "oh but i didn't know, i didn't know she was trans", maybe he'll also say he didn't know about the harassment campaign, hey fucker, maybe apply some of the constant scrutiny you're reserving for women who are mean about farming game and apply it to yourself and consider looking into these things before baselessly making pedo accusations against someone!

this transmisogynistic crybully shit is absolutely fucking insufferable and i am absolutely sick of it and anyone who buys into it. i'm done assuming good faith or ignorance. i am not going to be a good placid little bullying target and acquiesce to this vile shit. it's truly fucking incredible that a tme guy can be found out as an actual pedophile and guys like mr. belly can immediately jump into action to use this as an opportunity to denounce a trans woman who had one interaction with him ever that consisted of five minutes spent typing an addition to a post and hitting ''reblog''. & if you don't find that sickening then straight up you are not safe for trans women to be around.

[hasarjunadoneanythingwrong]

so i've seen a post that says that you can't say that karna gets treated better than arjuna, and that karna is haunted by arjuna in the narrative. I can't reblog the post but I respectfully disagree with it and I'm going to explain why.

the first point is fate/apocrypha. in this, karna compares siegfried to an opponent he once knew during their duel. in the post, it's argued that he projected siegfried onto arjuna and that's now his main interest throughout the series. however, karna's main interest in the series isn't just seigfried (although he did want to fight him again, which is why he fights sieg) but rather to have strong battles in general. it's also ignoring his confrontations with vlad, his decision to stay with the red faction and why (to protect the master he is no longer contracted to) and his interactions with Semiramis and Amakusa. his comparison of siegfried with arjuna, while significant, is not so massive that you can accurately say that it negates every other aspect of his characterization in the story. the most important thing it achieved is that it makes him very interested in fighting him, and when he decides he wants siegfried as a rival and the saber dies he later challenges sieg as he can channel the warrior. its disingenuous to say that arjuna is haunting karna's narrative when he doesnt appear at all beyond a single offhand remark.

the next point is that arjuna gets the costumes. this one is just wrong? karna has two costumes, although i hesitate to call the second one a proper costume. Burning Garment of Three Gods is in fact the first free story costume you receive in fgo, unlike most other costumes which you receive through limited time events, and the glasses costume is from an event where he again gets a (minor) role. while both arjuna's alts have a costume each that doesnt negate karna having costumes?

the next thing is a bit rough. 'arjuna gets the character arcs in fgo.' this one is true. its also because arjuna is the fgo original and karna had 2 previous fate entries to receive characterization in, so him receiving it was less of an required focus than it was for a brand new character who had nothing. at the same time, i do agree that karna needs to have more done with him in the game.

the next one is also very rough. in it, the op mentions that arjuna got a lostbelt that karna received poor treatment in. I do agree that how karna was treated, namely being dead for most of the chapter and only brought back for one big battle before being killed again was very poor handling. however....arjuna alter was also really poorly handled? he was offscreen for most of the lostbelt, his motivations were both incredibly unclear and required you to have played the interlude of another ssr, he was given no depth of character or internal consistency, and they didnt give you any greater understanding of who he was or why he behaved the way he did. he is generally agreed among most fate fans to be the most weakly written of the lostbelt kings, and its in part because rather than tell us anything about arjuna's life, indian history or mythology, or the mahabharata, they once again retrod the karna vs arjuna plotline. just because he's the lostbelt king doesnt mean he was done better than karna-if anything, his treatment was potentially worse because while karna's one dimensional handling set him up as a noble hero, arjuna alter's set him up as an unreasonable villain. saying that karna is used as a crutch for arjuna requires also acknowledging how arjuna is constantly and consistently used to enhance karna since the minute he was added to fgo, which is how you get titles he was never called by like 'the endowned hero' (it may be a poor translation of one of his actual names, Dhanañjaya, which means one who conquered wealth and gold but i doubt it) and why one of the first things that's mentioned whenever arjuna shows up is that he killed karna, when thats only one of his achievements and not even the most notable one.

which brings me to my next point: karna is handled one dimensionally in fgo. but it is always as a misunderstood hero, and arjuna is primarily handled as his supporting cast, whether as a jealous villan or long suffering straightman. if you are going to show frustration at people who are glad arjuna got content independently of karna, you need to acknowledge that out of the 23 odd events and story chapters arjuna has showed up in, only around 5 have not also included karna and out of the 8 that arjuna alter has been in, only 4 have not had karna in them. karna has been in 27 events, and 9 have not included arjuna-its not a large amount, but its still the same amount that arjuna and his alter have put together without him. Arjuna in fate, especially at the time of his creation, existed as a supplementary unit to further enhance karna's story as a hero who was oppressed by others, which is how you get things like this

while both their profiles have a heavy focus on the other, karna's talks about his actual life and history to a far higher degree than arjuna's does, while arjuna's fully devolves into his resentment and dislike of karna. he was first as foremost written as 'karna's obsessive rival' to further expand karna and karna specifically, and the later focus on trying to give him more depth was because he was popular and they wanted to do more with him. there was no consideration for who he was historically or his real personality or feats, there was no consideration for what he actually was- they wrote him as a person who would, in his own words 'become the darkness' to karna's light simply for the sake of it

THAT is why fans of arjuna want more content of him independently of karna. is it true that karna has his own issues with his writing? yes! but that doesnt change the fact that for a very long time, arjuna has been twisted from his mythogical origins in fate to make him someone that he simply isnt, and thats what people want to see less of. no amount of poorly executed ssrs or events they both get shortchanged in to emphasis them hitting each other with sticks will change the base issue with arjuna's writing until fate acknowledges this.

and to be clear, i dont think its wrong to be upset that karna doesnt get a lot of in depth expansion in fgo. but that isn't the fault of arjuna, and it's really unfair to try and say that with how often arjuna has been used as a plot device to show how unfairly biased people are at karna

[realsafari]

just a lil note >.<

please dont do this. this isnt fucking tiktok or twitter. likes are saves. they are the save button. unless you are trying to save every single one of my posts (which you shouldn't, there are over 800), you shouldn't be liking them all in a row like this.

please reblog my shit instead of liking it. likes are not a motivator. they do not mean you actually enjoy my stuff, they mean you want to save it to see it later.

i dont want to be added to the hundreds to thousands of posts in your saved folder that you will never look at again.

this is not a call out to this person in the screenshots, you likely just didn't know.

likes are not post boosters. they do not ensure more people see the post. the only post boosters are reblogs. without reblogs, a post will die. from then, blazes are the only way to revive them, which are costly.

please reblog, not like. only like the stuff you also reblog, the things that you want to see again. i like writing, motivational posts, and art. i like fundraisers that i want to revisit when i have more money. even though i like these, i also reblog them to make sure other people can see it, and the OP gets the recognition they deserve.

if you dont want to reblog things on your main blog because it doesnt fit your blog theme, make an alternate blog for your reblogs. it doesnt need followers to reach people. all you need is the reblog and the tags the OP added. feel free to add your own tags. add a comment to your reblog. it doesnt matter. just reblog instead of liking.

sorry for the two serious posts in a row, i just really wanted to address this.

[softness-and-shattering]

I saw a Blaze the other day that had in the tags, I think, something like "blazed because I havent been here for ten years so no one will see my posts".

Ive been here like two and a quarter years, I was a rat fleeing the sinking ship of twitter a little before the main wave of twitter refugees, who therefore have also been here about two years. Reddit...84? 87? 96? folks have been here even less time (sorry I dont remember your number).

Theres nothing wrong with blazing your post to be seen, but it doesnt target who sees it. If you want to meet people with whom you have things in common - and you need *something* to start your first conversation at least - look up things that interest you in the tags, and respond in comments, tags or reblogs. (Comments are mainly the OP to see, or if a tag conversation is getting silly long. Reblogs are for conversation, discussion, adding things you want everyone to see on the reblog chain. Tags are more like whispering commentary to your friends in a lecture, HOWEVER they are visible to everyone including OP, so dont insult OP or talk shit about them because they will see it, its just not davka directed at them).

Then look at the blogs of the people involved in the conversation. Are they sharing cool shit, and not sharing anything thats a deal breaker to you? Follow them! Look at the blogs they reblog from, if you like, follow. And talk. Contribute. You can just be a blog that shares, thats fine, but we're assuming you want what you say to be seen, that you means you want people to think you and your blog are interesting enough to follow. If youre talking into oblivion, no ones gonna see or reblog, so you gotta talk to let people know you exist and know something about you. Then they follow you, they share some of what you share, they share some of what you say, ten reblogs down the chain someone will think "OP seems cool, let me check out their blog. Yeah Im gonna follow them" and your audience, your friendgroup, your community grows, around your interests and their interests and things youre all involved in conversation about. And you have to be pretty genuine, no one succeeds at Influencing here, its not the style or culture of the site. Its generally more equal peership than Influencer and Audience, though some blogs are a lot bigger than others but that doesnt make them wealthy or famous IRL. No ones getting sponsorship deals for being big on tumblr. We're just a bunch of various geeks, nerds, outcasts, weirdos, people who dont like our every movement being tracked and all our media algorithm-fed. Id say we're more normal but maybe what Im looking for is just that we're less "social media" than social media?

So you probably dont want randoms seeing your post, whoevers page your blaze landed on. You want to find "your people" and carve out a little place for yourself in the woodwork, hang up a picture, stick some pie in the oven and introduce yourself to your neighbours. Or find people and declare them your neighbours by following them.

[skunkes]

wrt last reblog I also saw something recently that resonated with me, adjacent to it.

OP of the video im talking about explained that making friends is hard as an adult, but what if you finally make a friend and after a few hangouts you realize you dont actually like them? She goes on to say that she doesn't want to be friends with people she only Kind Of likes, because she had to do that all through her teenage years (likely at school).

But meeting people you instantly click with and have foundations for a real friendship is rare, so what are you supposed to do? Friend-break-up with someone? That's just rude. But having to maintain friendship with someone you only sort of like is also exhausting...

I made a new, quickly very close friend recently and was talking about dis to them, I talked about how I struggle making friends but after seeing some people's online circles I'm okay with that. Because I don't know how people juggle having so many acquaintances/Not Actual Friends. I could never do that. I want my time to go to myself and others I love and not having to either find excuses for plans I don't actually want to partake in or feel like I have to hang out with acquaintances for "maintenance" or to "reset the required hangout timer."

Hoping that doesnt sound Evil...having to do that with acquaintances is just one of those Life things, its normal but I'd prefer not have to do it more than I have to...ykwim

And how do you tell someone "um well its not that i dont like you but I cant imagine our friendship ever deepening to a point where im super comfortable with you and actively want to spend lots of time with you sooo bye!"

Not every friendship needs to be like that btw, acquaintances are important but one would rather just have more time to spend with the people they DO connect with better.

Also acquaintance doesn't automatically mean bad! I have acquaintances that I enjoy talking to and hanging out with even though we wont ever be Besties, I guess this post was more focused on acquaintances where the feeling is more like. They like you way way way more than you like them...

Idk. Last post reminded me of that. Its hard to make friends and I also dont seek it out because Id rather not have to also forever juggle a sea of pushy acquaintances while searching for the deep connections (which I'm so lucky to have found more often, by chance. Guess I just have to keep waiting around to get lucky.)

Meeting people you can actually connect with DOES take so much energy and time. And its hard to just stop contacting the people you dont click with along the way sometimes. So much energy to maintain the same level of effort and emotional investment across multiple different relationships when I'd rather just be deepening bonds with the people I do have/finding more of those Exact Same Bonds. Idk!

Weird type of lonely. I dont want to be friends with people I only sort of like...

[boycannibal]

i really dont understand that thing of "jsyk op of a good post holds an unrelated bad opinion :(" and the response is always like aw man ill delete that. like um. you reblogged the post because you liked it? it doesnt mean you support that poster in every opinion they have. like i dont get it

[starkid256]

hey guys, i saw this in a post just now and i want to tell you something.

blogs are like festivals and each post is a stand. the ones that have the most notes are displayed front and center. your pinned post is the biggest of those stands. now imagine at every one of these stands, there is a jar and a rack of pamphlets. the jar has a bunch of hearts in it; those are the likes. the pamphlets let you instantly transfer this post to your blog. those are reblogs. now, if you leave a like on a post, it doesnt do anything except add to the jar. the amount of likes on a post really just means nothing. the only way a post can escapes the confines of it's op's blog is by reblogging it. so, if you read this, stop just liking posts! you need to reblog them for anything to actually happen!

LIKES MEAN NOTHING!!!

[txttletale]

big fan not even particularly involvd i just wanted to say hi because i love a debate and i thought your last post was a little fallacious especially in the pesto analogy. because obviously your point is that pesto being good has nothing to do with sexual assault and neither do "problematic kinks" -- however, regardless of whether problematic kinks correlate sexual assault, discussion of whether problematic kinks make someone more likely to be a sexual predator obviously is a discussion inherently related to whether someone is a sexual predator, because what makes someone a sexual predator is one of the topics being discussed. i think it's worth checking ops in those scenarios because it can harm the ethos of your (very well thought out & presented) stance if it turns out that someone who you referenced as saying "liking bdsm doesn't make someone a sexual predator" was someone accused of being a sexual predator for other real reasons. imo it's more comparable to how i check blogs i reblog "stop dismissing feminism as terf rhetoric, being a feminist doesnt make you a terf" posts from to make sure that they are not actually transmisogynistic, because as much as i believe the post is objectively true, it's also something terfs like to use to try to delegitimize criticism and it makes my argument weaker if i rb that as support. or in the pesto analogy i think it would be more like if a post said "pesto is good and eating it doesn't mean you're an evil clown" and it turned out op was an evil clown who liked pesto. i agree with the post bc i like pesto and am not an evil clown but if someone wanted to disagree with me i gave them a pretty easy target, no matter how well reasoned my argument they can point behind me and say "evil clown! they're an evil clown apologist!" and internet users will believe them because there is demonstrably an evil clown behind me. so even if you don't check every blog you rb from (i don't), it is probably worth denouncing posts that turn out to be attempts at that kind of camouflage even if the content of the post is true and you didn't know the context at the time IF you're trying to be as persuasive as possible.

imo i think this angle holds much more water & is a pretty fair point i more or less agree with! thanks for providing this viewpoint, i appreciate it.

[my-gf-is-kazuichi-soda]

If anyone wonders how I find old Kazuichi fanart from like 5-10 years ago:

-if you see a reblog of some old art you like, go to the op's blog (if they're not deactivated) and search the tag for more of their art (btw most artists love it when people reblog their old work! Dont be afraid!)

-go to their blog from that reblog and search/scroll that tag. Sometimes tumblr glitches and says there's nothing there. Sometimes you can click on the tag from the reblogged art and find more there, sometimes it wont work? Tumblr is weird like that.

-I search "Kazuichi", if that doesnt work then "Souda", and then "Soda" (mixed bag of having posts with the drink soda popping up)

-look at the reblogs on a Danganronpa fanart, you'll have the best luck if it's Kazuichi-centered fanart, if it was reblogged years ago, and/or if the user tagged it with a specific tag they made for Kazuichi implying that they regularly reblog Kazuichi

-if you hit a dead end, repeat for another piece of fanart, the older the better bc then you find blogs that may not have touched this fandom in years (or have just been in the fandom for years lol)

-important: treat every piece of fanart like the poster could delete their blog and you are preserving their work (and also sharing it for other current fans to see!)

-that being said, try to avoid reblogging a post where the person stole/reposted someone's art (if it has a link at the bottom then it's usually not stolen, I just mean collages of fanart clearly from multiple artists that dont credit them. Dont sweat it if you didnt know or have trouble identifying stolen art, we all make mistakes, it's just something to note.)

[electricpurrs]

i just realized i dont need to fight this fight alone, and maybe i can help educate an army of anti-reposted art soldiers. here's some tips for you:

STEP 1: spotting reposted art

a lot of reposted art gets popular on social media and a lot of the time its because the people sharing it arent aware its stolen, which frankly makes me angrier at the reposters for actively fooling people who dont know better. being able to spot reposted art is useful if you dont want to maintain that cycle

the thing about this is that its definetly not certain, its not always easy to spot and you wont always remember to check every single thing you reblog, but it might be worth keeping in mind, and being wary of things that look suspicious

lack of description: often artists add text on the descriptions of art they post, like giving the piece a cool title or just talking about what it is or what inspired them etc. if you see someone in a post going "so i drew this last night because i couldnt sleep" that sure sounds like their own art! reposters often wont add any description, or add a description that doesnt make it sound like its their own art, like "this is so cute! 😻😻" that sounds more like someone reacting to the art than someone making it

low quality: sometimes reposted art will have weirdly shitty image quality because its been reposted or screenshotted to hell and back. if it looks like the quality should not be like this, or if it looks weirdly cropped (sometimes cropped to erase the artist's signature), be suspicious

check the op: the first two are signs that can give you an initial suspicion to make you want to investigate further, but the quicker and easier way to be sure is checking the op and the original post.

check the tags: artists on tumblr often have their own art tags, like "#my art" or "#name's art", or often will add tags for visibility (though reposters will do that too). in that reposted sanrio art, if you check the original post, there are zero tags. none. weird.

check the blog: very very easy way to spot a reposter. an artist bio/pinned post will often have some sort of indicator that they post their art. like saying what their art tag is, saying "im an artist/i draw sometimes/this is an artblog/i make fanart" etc. normal stuff. you might be able to find more art of theirs, realize theyre all the same/similar art style, or have similar subject matters (like a sonic blog posting sonic fanart, or various drawings of the same oc). a reposter blog's will not indicate that they're an artist (unless theyre straight up impersonating and pretending to draw their stolen art, which is another can of worms)

if you check that sanrio post's op's blog......BOOM! an empty, wordless, "aesthetic" blog that seems to post loads of unrelated, unsourced images with no description or tags at all on any of them. that blog is exclusively resposting!

STEP 2: what now?

so you've found art that is reposted or that you suspect is reposted. what to do now? well, what ive taken as my hobby and sacred holy duty to do is actively find the source of stolen art.

its not always an easy or quick process, and you sure might not have the patience to do it, but if you want to, the first step is simply save/copy the art and look it up on google images. by whatever means, ends up google image search's massive fucking lovecraftian amount of internet data is pretty good at looking art up, and if you're lucky and the art you're looking up is relatively new/recent, was posted by the og artist on social media, and/or the reposted image is in enough good quality and uncropped for google to spot it well, you can find the source pretty easily.

i need to go in way, way more complicated rabbit holes sometimes to find older or more obscure art, but you might be able to find it

ok say you've found the source, what now? if you've seen the art reposted in a popular post with lots of notes, it might be useful to share your finding directly on the post. dont be scared of being rude, annoy the shit out of them. leave a comment, and/or reblog with an addition yourself letting it be known that its reposted, link back to the og post and say the original artist's name/url. reach up to mutuals that put the post on your dash and let them know (even if privately). you can't always do much, but if you teach one person to not share stolen art and make them find the og artist, thats a win!

i DON'T know if tumblr allows that (because tumblr is useless) but im pretty sure you can also report posts that have stolen shit in some social media, like pinterest and maybe instagram? not sure but might be worth trying

in other cases, i've been reposting art myself, specifically when its very old art/ art not originally posted on social media / art thats already been reposted so many times or has so many notes there's no point in trying to stop reposting, and instead reposting it myself but with proper source and credit this time. again, its not much but its honest work

STEP 3: ok but what if i don't want to do all that

show it to me babyyyyy!!! are you suspicious art might be reposted but arent sure? did you find reposted art but you cant find the source? feel free to tell me about it and i can do my best to find the source myself, i love that shit!!!! you can send me an ask, dm me, dm me on discord if you have me on there, im glad to help!!

with that i finish my presentation. thank you for listening. remember kids: credit your artists

sorry for how many times youve seen me reblog that fucking sanrio post by this point ive created a burning hatred and personal rivalry against that specific post and how many notes it has while being literally just reposted stolen art and no matter how many times i try to add the source nobody gives a shit. this will be what turns me into the joker

[babbydriver]

[lifeintheworldtocome]

Hey so uh what's up with the no likes if you don't reblog rule? You seem incredibly harsh about it and it kinda feels super rude, but maybe there's a genuine reason? Like I just added a rule to my blog asking people to interact before or shortly after following so I know they're real people, so maybe it's a similar situation? /gq /nm

this is the last ask im posting about this mark my words after this im fucking done. so anon if you have been on tumblr longer than like a week you know that theres no Algorithm here. this means that likes do nothing. if you like a post it will not show that post to anyone else. the only thing it does is save it to your likes page and show up in the notifications of the op and whoever put it on your dashboard unlike twitter where if you like a post it has a chance of putting it on one of your followers timelines. likes are functionally useless and literally were not implemented on tumblr until a full year after its creation and half the fucking userbase doesnt use them anyways. usually it would be fine if you just liked a post and didnt reblog it. i do it sometimes. some posts are meant to not be reblogged. thats fine. but with drawings and paintings and writing and every other form of art put on this goddamn site we can put hours into that shit and when someone likes it it does nothing but clog up ones notifications and (in the case of my stuff) annoy me. it doesnt get it anywhere. does that make sense now finally

[lonery-w]

I think what annoys me so much about the 'this reads like a 10k post' 'no dont how fucking dare you' 'haha 10k' type posts is that it just. Highjacks the entire thing that came before it

Because for better or for worse tumblr works in a way where the last addition to the post is the one that people reblog for, unless it's like. A single @ where its so not intrusive that it doesn't matter. But generally it's the final word that makes you reblog, be it an epic dunk, recontextualization of the initial post, an essay, an art, whatever. That's why nothing of substance additions that could've stayed in the tags are annoying and get cut off, because they don't build upon the initial post. Even the overplayed 'op what the fuck does this mean im shaking' adds something, it emphasizes the assumed cursed energy of the op by putting them next to quote unquote normal person

But the 10k post is not that. The 10k post is a joke in and of itself, completely independently. Like the first time it happened it was funny. But instead of building upon the initial post it replaces it, and now suddenly every half decent shitpost has the same punchline every single time, and the posts get passed around not because the post was good, but because 'haha op doesnt want their post to get 10k, wouldnt it be funny if it Did'

And yeah anyone can just remove the reblogs which is what ive been doing but like

:/

#okay nic#hear me out#remember that old convo about how the ninjago crew would handle being put in The Scroll™#imagine if inky turned into fucking harumi to mess with lloyd#they did turn into quite literally every villain to taunt mk so I'm just saying#they would

#I didn't even join in on the gaslighting#mainly bc I'm watching along with you at this point#but I'm gonna apologize in place of the gaslighters#bc I'm wheezing a lung out#this game is fucking evil and so is everyone on this site (affectionately)
