Honestly I think a lot of people who have never made a gif for tumblr don't get that it does actually take time and effort, its not just rip it from a video and post it- you have to download the video, in my case I have a video player installed that grabs continuous caps, figure out what parts you need, you have to open those in photoshop or gimp, depending on where you got photoshop you might be paying for it every month and then on top of that is actually sizing, cropping, colouring, sharpening, adding text, etc. etc. like it is something that takes time and effort for which the only real reward is creating something that makes you happy and hopefully people reblog it with a nice or funny tag, so maybe keep that in mind the next time you think gif makers are being mean or unfair for being upset about reposts. It is its own little artform that is fairly unique to this website, and that's a big aspect of why I have always loved tumblr, if all the gifmakers stopped posting things would be a lot more boring around here.

stacy is sooo interesting because she's in love with house but knows that they will never ever be able to have a healthy, stable, sane relationship because they're too similar so. she finds house-lite instead and marries him and. essentially moves on with her life! and is successful in this because she's a moderately well-adjusted person!
wilson, in contrast, never manages to escape the inevitable, in spite of his best efforts to find a house-lite of his very own, because he's an absolute fucking freak and ends up glued to house to the bitter. bitter end

I really, really wish people who don't have the capacity to properly take care of animals would simply accept and acknowledge that about themselves. This isn't even a post of me trying to be mean or judge anyone, I'm sure most people go into getting an animal with good intentions, but intentions and actions are different. If you don't have the time and the space and the care an animal needs, the animal will suffer. The fleeting joy of having a kitten or puppy or anything else doesn't last forever and they aren't toys to be put down and forgotten once you've moved past the inital excitement. If you don't have the ability to properly care for an animal, just accept that and simply admire them from a distance.

I still find it odd that some people get mad when you make the CoD characters cry in fics or hc because it’s like have you ever gotten close to a real life man before?
Sure, there’s the social standards that say men don’t cry (which is outdated and rooted in misogyny, sexism, and patriarchy bullshit btw) and that they shouldn’t but have you ever met a man irl before?
My dad cries. Not often, but he sobbed when we had to put my two elderly cats down, he cried when I went to university , actually he cried when all of my sisters went too. He cried when my uncle, his brother, died and any time I comforted him about it he would get choked up.
My brother in law has cried in front of me before when he lost friendships (no deaths but it was a bad friendship break up)
My old friend cried because of a break up he had and because of his horrible family situation…in class around other people
My point is, are the cod men going to cry at every little thing? No, but they’re human and if they care about those around them, and have personalities (which they do) when something happens, when something goes wrong and they break down they’re going to cry
So make them cry more in your fics not only for the realistic aspect but also so people stop being weird about men crying
