there's a bathroom in mickey's room -> mickey's room is the master bedroom -> terry must have "allowed" (read: decided) this, and probably framed it as an incredible privilege -> in practice it's actually just a built in lack of privacy for mickey since the bathroom is treated as communal, meaning anyone can go into his room at any time without warning to get to the bathroom inside

terrible breaking news: person who shares your exact queer headcanon for Blorbo is also baselessly saying said queer identity is "basically canon" and unambiguously the author's intent, therefore making you look bad for sharing that headcanon while they go about giving the creators way too much credit

Yeehaw territory is all of the USA, but mostly west of the Mississippi River (anything bought in the Louisiana Purchase that was considered the 'frontier') 🌿

@whataboutyouisamascot thank you for the history lesson! Unfortunately I have no idea where Mississipi is, and I'm way too sick to look that up, so I'm just nodding and smiling gratefully like an idiot 😃👍 <- not a thought behind those eyes

In regards to Mouthwashing, why would they (Pony Express) put one woman on a ship whose scheduled delivery time is over one year? If you know anything about the human species, that's just asking for disaster. "Not all men" all you want but if you look at the statistics for any male-dominated career (I'll use the military as an example) the rate of sexual abuse of women is "definitely not uncommon." One woman on a ship with four guys for that long?

Blame Jimmy all you want, he's the one who did it at the end of the day, but the company was just asking for an incident of that caliber in regards to their staffing decisions. Single-gender flights with ample background checks would have been wiser.

As would have been a way to allow the crew to release that sort of stress privately with lefty or righty or some company-approved toy (...probably designed after the mascot). From what I could tell the only private space was the captain's quarters and medbay if you locked it. People with a libido aren't mindless horndogs, yeah, but even my ace ass gets a bit cagey after a long enough time.

ok yk what. now that i’ve had some time to process nghy canon, considering the current pacing of gen retcon, i think their next step is as ✨clear as day✨

i really like seeing them happy together, but i truly do think that they should divorce and either live the rest of their lives as single besties; partners in hero/heroine-isms, but better off as just friends, or go their separate ways for a bit and get back together when they’re a little older and wiser, staying together for good this time around, as each other’s first and last boyfriend/girlfriend

Hi I was wondering what’s your opinion on the in the soop talk between Taekook bc you’re a Taehyung blog so I’d like to get your thoughts on it

Hi! This is an old ask lol sorry for the late reply

I think the ITS talk it’s something that got greatly greatly misunderstood, I think most of people focused on just one thing said by Jungkook (we became awkward) and completely dismissed what it was really about. This is mostly my point of view on it but to this day I think it’s safe to assume people just forgot to give context to the talk.

Taehyung wasn’t feeling well in 2020, he wrote Blue and Grey in that year (I really really need everyone to pay attention to the lyrics), he was having a hard time and all the members asked him to please reach out, to talk if anything was bothering him, and I think that’s what was the premises of the talk. It wasn’t to mend a bond, because there was nothing to mend, if you look from an objective point Taekook’s bond in that year (or even in that season tbh) you would notice there was literally nothing that would agree with the subs bh editors wrote such as “awkward duo”. I think Taehyung just wanted to have a drink with Jungkook, open up a little about his state (“I go on weverse to get assured I’m still loved”). Which is okay.

The not okay things were the subs put by bh editors, the twisting of the narratives (making the talk about something else), the fact that the talk was recreated by other groups. People thinking Jimin had to use an excuse to make Jungkook talk to Taehyung. I think narratives cloud people’s visions most of the time but the its talk must be the most misunderstood thing I’ve ever seen.

At least I could disable the suggestions but just... I'm sick of it, I'm sick of companies trying to think for me

I'd rather be miserable but doing shit my own way than placid and glass eyed and just taking whatever companies tell me to

Like... literally just asking what I get out of writing a post on tumblr... zero suggestions, just letting me say whatever dumb stuff comes to my head

[raeofgayshine]

I wish I could go back and tell younger me that I would in fact find that place one day full of people that I adore deeply and who I know love me in return. Who make me feel wanted and cared for and appreciated in a way I never thought would be possible. And none of it required hiding, or forcing myself to be a person I’m not. And I still have that space even though I’m aroace.

For the first time ever, I see a future where I’m not alone. And I wish I could go back and tell my younger self it would happen. It’s possible to not be constantly lonely.

The problem with growing up with 6 brothers, having no sisters until I was 10 and being bullied as a child means I'm really good at talking to myself. And with the power of the internet and the forgetfulness of being sleep deprived I can make it your problem too

something put slide whistles in my head which got this refrain looping for me which made me go like Can you do any sorta official the slide whistle? which thank fuck Yes, filmed its world premiere. i really seriously recommend picturing the dancing in your head & doing it yourself even in One Unaccompanied Two Measure Cycle. doing the circley dip to an even imagined slide whistle is exquisite

Maybe the reason why . I did all of that was because of the fact that it had to deal with new people.... I mean. Go, yeah. Good for you. But we were all in this together now

Augh. Fuck my stupid baka life. Nothing makes sense

[omgthatdress]

Sooooo ummmmmmm this is something that's probably going to piss a lot of people off, but I feel like I really need to say it.

If you get a message from an account claiming to be a Palestinian fundraiser, it is a bot. It is a scam. You need to report & delete the message and encourage others to do the same.

I know because I get messages on this account DAILY. I have a very high follower count and I'm pretty active and I interact with my followers a lot, and apparently that all adds up to one big bot magnet.

Bots following and messaging this account was a MASSIVE problem before Tumblr fixed its new account policies. I used to spend literally hours blocking and reporting the hundreds of bots that I would get following me each day.

I learned a lot about bots and how to identify them. The easiest way is with no avatar, "untitled" in the blog description (BTW if your avatar is still set to default PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD change it because you run a substantial risk of being accidentally blocked & reported as a bot).

One of the dead give aways of a bot was what I call "word salad" names. Three seemingly random words strung together making no sense, always adjective, adjective or noun, noun. If you reported a lot of these bots, you'd notice the same words kept showing up.

Nowadays, I am bombarded with fundraiser requests and sometimes, they don't even bother to hide the fact that they're a bot. The avatar is default, the blog title is "untitled," and the blog name is a classic randomly-generated word salad.

However MOST of the requests I get come from at least semi-legit looking accounts. There are pictures, a name, a story. Never mind that I've gotten that message three times from different accounts.

Sometimes, they claim to be vetted, but the whole vetting system essentially adds up to "trust me bro." There is no way of guaranteeing that this account isn't just lying about being vetted, claiming to be vetted by a false person, or are using the identity of a real Palestinian to scam people.

Previously, I've seen a lot of people getting attacked for raising questions about these fundraisers and getting attacked for being racist or for harming Palestinian families in danger, like Tumblr isn't a website famous for its scams and the words "The Arkh Project" "All or Nothing" or "Miss Officer and Mr. Truffles" mean nothing to you.

I personally have been scammed by people claiming to be charities on Tumblr before, specifically, The Leelah Project which used the name of a trans teenager who died by suicide to swindle people out of their money.

Luckily, there are actual, respected charities out there you can give money to if you want to help the cause:

Palestinian Children's Relief Fund

Palestine Red Crescent Society

United Nations Relief Works Agency

Islamic Relief

World Central Kitchen

Médecins Sans Frontièrs

One of the hardest things to accept about the situation in Palestine is that realistically, there is very little that your average outsider can do to change it. However, these large, well-respected and trustworthy charities are out there doing the hard work to keep people alive, and should be where the donation money is going

These scam bots feed on people's naïvety and need to believe that they are making a difference, and even worse, feed on the fear that by ignoring them, it somehow makes you a racist doing direct harm to a refugee family, when in fact they are using the suffering of Palestinians to take away money from those in need.

As far as fundraisers that don't send out random asks for donations, I honestly don't know. You'll have to do the work yourself and approach with much caution.

Be careful out there.
