"i wish razzle and dazzle could be here with us.." charlie settled into the lounge in her room, looking out the window at another dragon that passed by. "i mean, they could almost be mistaken as a dragon here.. maybe someone raises dragons around here.. there's so many, i'm sure someone does."

To illustrate this post by @mayahawkse I would like to visualize to you the difference:

A post in 2023:

A post in 2014:

A zoom out of the same post:

This is what a community looks like.

See how in 2023 almost all of the reblogs come from the OP, from their few hours/days in the tag search. Meanwhile in 2014 the % of reblogs from OP is insignificant, because most of the reblogs come from the reblogs within the fandom, within the micro-communities formed there. You didn't need to rely on tags, or search, or being featured. Because the community took care of you, made sure to pass the work between themselves and onto their blog and exposed their followers to it. It kept works alive for years.

It's not JUST the reblog/like ratio that causing this issue, it's the type of interaction people have. They're content with scrolling and liking the search engine, instead of actually having a reblogging relationship with other blogs in their community.

Anyways, if you want to see more content you like, the only true way to make it happen is to reblog it. Likes do not forward content in no way but making OP feel nice. Reblogs on the other hand make content eternal. They make it relevant, they make it exist outside of a fickle tumblr search that hardly works on the best of days.

If you want more of something, reblog it.

You watch him hem and haw over answering, feet shifting, same beat up black shoes, scuffing the gravel, cape swishing behind him in a one-two step. The halo of his hair, bleached eery white in the street lamp, how the light never seems to catch the rim of his shades. You missed this, you think. The bits of him that are so unsettlingly inhuman, how he's so close to you, but just far enough that you couldn't reach to touch. - Metempsychosis

"you're a terrible liar, dad." charlie knew that he had his own issues with what he had done, everything that had happened up until he came back into her life, but really, despite it all? charlie still idealized him. she had wanted to be like him so badly, to know him better. "yeah, she helped me get some money back that had been stolen.. i don't know what to do about it, dad. she's been gone for so long and now she's just.. here but out of reach."

"never said it wasn't, hon. really, it's... it's great." and he's sure she can hear the lie in those words, but he's hoping she'll ignore it. whatever flaws he may have, she's managed to overcome them in ways he hasn't, and he's incredibly proud of her for that. but it doesn't mean he doesn't regret giving them to her to begin with. "so you did see your mom. i was hoping to break it to you gently."

anyone else have multiple traumatic memories associated specifically with holidays/family vacations? because that is a topic I never see discussed in all the So You Had A Shitty Childhood, Now What? self-help books i've been reading. but for me, it was a significant thing. and the more i think about it the more it seems like this would be an (unfortunately) common experience. would be grateful to hear if this matches other peoples' experiences...

"it was stolas, wasn't it?" charlie had recognized him from when he had been trying to navigate around the hotel, remembering him mentioning something about the pride ring. if there were more sinners or something around, charlie definitely wanted to check in with all of them. "i don't think i got to introduce myself, i'm charlie morningstar."

she could hardly keep her face even close to neutral, with how much her mother was just.. god she was so her, and charlie hadn't heard a word from her in seven years. seven years with nothing and now she was here, same as ever, and charlie wasn't even able to say anything! "i can look intimidating if i have to!" charlie explained back, despite the pout forming on her lips. sure, okay, maybe her mom was right there, she had always been a little too innocent, appearance wise, for the princess of hell, but still. "i'll look tough behind you, don't worry."

the corners of her lips turned upward, "good." lilith nodded her head once, deciding it was because the girl before looked far too nice and that was why she strangely cared about getting her money back and making sure that she didn't fall for any other scams. "no, you just have to stand there and try to look intimidating, but with those big eyes i'm not sure it's possible." she teased, a chuckle falling from her lips. "just let me do all of the talking and threatening because you look about as threatening as a baby kitten."

I hate these posts.

either you are AGAINST the idea of thought-crimes, or you're not. just bc someone's a paraphile does NOT make them any kind of offender. being proship, you almost HAVE to be pro-(anti contact) para, because part of being proship is recognizing that your imagination also can't hurt anyone.

ignoring all that, though, the other glaring issue is that these are the exact arguments antis make towards us. calling people predators with no proof, saying paras should "keep it private", that paras are trying to "groom" people into believing their paraphilias are good. replace "paras" with "proshippers" and you've got the same dumb arguments WE'VE BEEN HAVING FOR YEARS.

EVEN FURTHER THAN THAT, what happened to using the block button? why do y'all forget all about that as soon as it's a paraphile, or at minimum, someone you DEEM to be a paraphile. y'all are no better than the people you are against.

somewhere down the line, they attempt to reconcile. just before wilbur leaves to utah. it goes as you would expect.

QUALITY GOT BUTCHERED AUGH but here’s an atsushi + byakko sketch i will probably delete unless tumblr likes it more than i do

after finding her dad, settling enough that she wasn't too overwhelmed, charlie had gone up to her, and vaggie's, room, to have a few moments to herself, to get situated back in her real life. but as she opened the door, she shouldn't have been completely surprised, but it still stopped her in her tracks, to see vaggie there. tears formed at her eyes again, letting the door shut behind her as she gave a small wave to her. "hi--" she didn't say anything more as her feet carried her forward, throwing herself around vaggie.
