Just got back from watching the newest Bluey episode and uh

Isn't that-

Did they just-

DID THEY JUST ACKNOWLEDGE THE BLUEY FANDOM'S CONTRIBUTION TO REDDIT'S R/PLACE?!

THEY DID!!!!! IT'S AN OFFICIAL RECREATION OF THE EXACT IMAGE!

That orange heart is meant to represent Bingo because she kept getting erased off the canvas and the Bluey peeps wanted to include her in some way

Oh my god what an Easter egg. I love it when show creators acknowledge the fans in some way :D

Dashcon was 10 years ago. 10 fucking years ago. I remember it so vividly. I was there in the trenches making fun of the ballpit. I was reblogging all the memes.

I don't like being reminded of the relentless passage of time, let alone when it's brought on by Tumblr lore lmao.

Don't forget to ponder the orb, especially if the orb is your beloved partner.

"My other soul has returned."

(this is from an episode where the new kid at school gets possessed by the evil energy from a cursed game he found in the basement and Yugi's soul gets stuck in a jar, don't worry about it-)

so many eons of tumblr history have passed. do you guys know that my “knightblogging” tag is a pun. we used to— it was called “nightblogging”, because late at night when everybody was supposed to be asleep— *I collapse into a pile of dust*

The Lighthouse is giving me "Fresh after the first Avengers Movie, everyone moves into and lives in Stark Tower together" fanfics (affectionate).

iirc when we first heard about the lighthouse i think i made a lucanis in the vents joke almost immediately and regretted it even faster

Also it's still very funny to me when I say "I like Rings of Power" and someone sees it and says I'm not a true fan of Tolkien's works and must not know anything about his writing and then I post a picture of my bookshelf. Never gets old.

You know how in stories where the heroes save the world from some magical apocalypse, a lot of the time the general public has no idea? They just go about their lives afterward, not even realizing how close they came to disaster, much less that there's someone to thank for that?

Picture how those heroes feel.

That's how the programmers who stopped the Y2K bug most likely feel.

Thanks for saving us, folks. I just heard the song "Party Like It's 1999", and thought of you.

Something I'm not really seeing a lot of people talk about is how, almost insidious, the whole concept is around Netflix signing off on the Wednesday - Novelization and presenting it as "canon". Not the fact that they signed off on it at all of course, but the way they've gone about doing it. And what they're hoping to gain from it.

Like they straight up are calling this book, "official canon". I've seen some try to say that Netflix were unaware and it was just published without them knowing what was really in it, but this is Netflix we're talking about. They are strategic about everything, alot of the time to their own detriment, so there is no way they weren't involved with it. It would've gone through mutiple people and editors, who are part of the Netflix team, before it was signed off and sent to print.

And if you asked, not one of them would be able to look you in the eye and say truthfully, that they didn't read that book and easily pick up on the inclusion of 'Wenclair'. Like it's not even subtext, it's straight up just text. And it's throughout the whole thing.

Couple this with the fact that Netflix are fully aware of just how much of the viewership for the show are both part of the LGBTQIA+ community and/or want to see 'Wenclair' become actual canon. Which is why the fact that they've released a book now that sounds straight out of a 'Wenclair' fans dream, is not at all a coincidence.

They've strategically done this, on purpose.

And may I be struck down where I sit typing this if I'm wrong, but I would bet money on the fact that they are never going to make 'Wenclair' canon in the show. Because they don't want to lose The Straights viewership, but they want to keep the 'Wenclair' fans on the hook. So what do they do to keep both appeased? They release the novelization. And the novelization doesn't just FEEL like a major copout, it IS a major copout. It's Netflix giving the 'Wenclair' fans crumbs while still being able to sell the whole loaf of bread to everybody else.

The major issue with all of this though, is that all of those leaked details concerning Enid and the headstone with her name on it? ... I didn't just live through the massive 'Bury Your Gays'/Clexa movement, that was sparked by the infamous episode 3x07 of The 100, I was in the goddamn trenches. So I know the signs of a show that may go that same way, even if the favourite, most popular same-sex couple never become official canon in a show. And all I will say is, to any and every fan of 'Wenclair', just prepare yourselves for Season 2.
