#ope time to overshare on the internet

[eisforeidolon]

Don’t know if relevant but found it incredibly funny. Noticed a gifset of this weekend is going around and hellers screaming cockles, where misha basically asked jensen to sit closer to him as he does with Jared, and Jensen came closer, made some jokes to allure the audience and went back to his space (I don’t know if he sat closer after that though). It is such a lol moment for me, and seeing hellers excited for this is hillourious. It feels to me like Misha and his minnions are so adamant to take the place of Jared in Jensen's life. They push for the things which comes most normally between jared and jensen.

I am always amazed at the extent to which tinhatters are able to convince themselves that actors doing things they're being paid to do means they're ~*in lurve*~. OMG, I paid them to hold hands in a photo op and THEY DID! OMG, they're being paid to banter together on stage and THEY DID! Like do you seriously not understand the concept of actors, or ...

I think full videos of the panels went up earlier this evening, but I saw clips previously which included the section of the panel you're talking about and it was so obviously a bit? Part of the reason it's so funny with J2 is that while sometimes they do pointedly do it as a joke, they can make it come off spontaneously. Not only that, but there's also a large portion of the time they don't even seem to notice they're doing it.

This was so painfully staged to warm up the audience at the beginning of the panel that it's embarrassing to compare the two. It was actually Jensen moving closer to Misha after asking why he was sitting so far away IIRC, and then them both exaggeratedly scooting across the stage. Then Jensen moves his chair back as far away as it started with such a blank look, very, 'Okay, checked that off the list, on to talking about the city'. Twue lurve!

I have pointedly said before that I don't think Jensen needs to treat Misha like he has a communicable disease just because some nutcases on the internet are going to fantasize every second they breathe the same air into an epic romance. I would also be very surprised if Jensen has heard even a fraction of the queerbait-y objectifying shit Misha has said and continues saying behind his back. It's also relevant that they're being paid to perform for an audience who are likely mostly GA fans who want to believe the whole cast are super close besties and want to see them goofing around - like they do on the gag reels!

Meanwhile, the cockless weirdos desperately want believe Jensen performing during panels with Misha means that Misha will oh-so-easily take Jared's place - and beyond! The problem is, if you compare the onstage dynamics between the three of them? I haven't ever seen a truly awkward panel between Jensen and Jared or Jared and Misha. But Jensen and Misha? Oof. It's not always terrible. But Jensen is the most reserved and least open while Misha is constantly flippant, raunchy, and overshares. It's not just that Jared is more adaptable, it's that they're genuinely an awkward personality match. Then you add the whole known issue of belligerent overstepping D/C shippers who may try to slip in an awkward bomb of a question on top of it. So in the same way that I assume you don't know what a romance actually looks like if you think D/C is one at all, let alone an epic one? If you're insisting Jensen and Misha are the ones that must be fucking given their onstage chemistry, I assume that you also don't understand chemistry is more than who you personally get off on imagining having sex.

Prefacing this by saying: I’m not a crashout and have never crashed out but sometimes it’s warranted. This being one of those times.

TLDR: @cathiief is a immature loser I have no ill feelings towards but bitch you couldn't mind your own business lmao 🤣

So, I’ve been rp-ing for at least twenty-two years, never really like doing it on tumblr for various reasons; be it making and running a whole new blog, random interactions or cross-over stuff. One of the MAIN reasons I’ve only tried a handful of times is because Tumblr has an EGREGIOUS cliche mentality and it’s the reason for this crash out because I don’t bother anyone, if you’ve ever interacted with me or followed my blog for any amount of time you will know that I keep to myself, never overshare or do this sort of thing. I’m too old for the drama and foolishness that goes on.

That being said, I’m pissed and it takes a LOT to piss me off.

In the last year of rp-ing in the One Piece fandom I’ve had some of the worst experiences in twenty-two years on the internet, let alone rp-ing which is a hobby, for fun, something people forget but come with me and I’ll explain. 

Before One Piece the last time I rp-ed was in the Pacific Rim fandom in 2013, didn’t have a bad experience just drifted away from my blog and I didn’t want to try again until someone that would become my friend reblogged some art I’d done to their rp blog. I didn’t know OP had an active rpc given how long running the series is. Sure it makes sense that it does but I had just finished the Whole Cake Island arch and ended up making an oc like a lot of fans do. This friend rp-ed the siblings and I worked up the nerve to ask them if they wanted to rp. They did, I made a blog and it was fun for months. This post isn’t about that friend. I still talk to them and adore them.  This story is about one (1) person whom I’ve never spoken to and who I believe killed my experience with the OPRPC. We’ll get to her.

So, me and my friend get to talking and we discuss an AU of Sanji staying on Germa because his mutations worked and blah blah I end up making a rp blog for him and we have a blast.  Now, while I was rp-ing with them I saw they favored one particular person, with the number of threads, responses, etc.  Not knowing them for that long I was envious but it didn’t affect our writing or experience. I’m telling you how I felt because as an adult I know it’s silly but a human emotion to feel these things. I’m aware of my feelings and know how to act accordingly. The person this story is about, does not. 

Weeks go on and we’re rp-ing, chatting on discord, having fun and I even start shipping their characters and this person’s character; the character being a Nami. (@cathiief) and yes I’m @ing them because I do not respect them, or care in the slightest. I drew some fanart of Ichiji and Nami, memes because it got me invested in the little stories they had going on. It was fun, it was a part of the experience, I like to make fanart and draw for people I care about. I even gently reached out to the Nami on my Sanji blog at one point to see if they were interested in rp-ing but got no response which is fine. 

Now a few more weeks go by without incident. My friend and I are on discord discussing writing smut of the brothers. Yes, irl incest is bad (it goes without saying obviously) but narrative wise it's a interesting avenue to explore and we're both grown adults. I'm not here to have a proship or anti discussion. My friend makes a small ooc post about how they'll be writing said topic, that it will be under a read more and tagged to be easily ignored. We get to writing and I do the same, content is properly tagged and under a read more. Keep in mind the smut threads are maybe 2% of what we're writing, often posted in the dead of night to be the least intrusive.

A few days go by and I notice the Nami isn't monopolizing my friend's attention with inbox memes or replies. This had been a running thing between them. She would flood my friend with attention, memes, head canon posts, gifsets etc. I asked if they were good because they had been worried about writing the brothers which is why they made the post warning followers. Come to find out the Nami had said that my friend wasn’t giving them enough attention and wanted to end it. I believe they were speaking for a year at that point and had planned end game for the muses, had idk how many threads and exchanged who knows how many dms. All gone overnight. I hear this and feel so awful because beyond the rp hobby it's just a deeply shitty thing to do to someone that's your friend. I didn't pry too deeply on how close they were but my friend was very heartbroken and rightfully upset over her actions. You couldn't speak to them? You didn't value your relationship enough to even say: hey I don't like the thing you're doing and don't want to rp with you anymore or what it brought up in our threads at all. Yes, I know people don't owe you anything, “fictional incest bad”, but as someone you spoke to regularly for a year and considered a friend? Nah, that's just cruel.

We continue rping, the Nami all but a passing fart and eventually I decide to make a new blog to rp Luffy. I'm getting into the swing of rping on Tumblr and want more. My friend has moved on and even made a new side blog for Kaido.

Playing the main character of a series with over 500 named characters I assume there's plenty of fun to be had and quickly start branching out, avoiding the Nami but not blocking her because besides reaching out from my Sanji blog I have not spoken to this person once in my entire life. I'm not the one with the problem, she is and I do nothing to conceal that I'm the same person from the Sanji blog. I don't link them however because Sanji's blog is basically private anyway. 

As I'm looking for mutuals on Luffy I notice that cathiief is affiliated with a lot of blogs. I don't care and follow these blogs intent on interacting or avoid them depending on how they write or which muse they have. 

The following two examples are what happened:

I don't recall if I dmed @embcrs first or sent in a meme but they rp an Ace that survived the summit war. In dms we are getting along really well, throwing ideas back and forth, having a ball. In embcrs rules it says not to interact if you ship the asl brothers together. I don't and never have at this point. In my mind this is fine because I don't ship asl and obviously wouldn't bring up my Sanji blog and have no interest in Sanji interacting with him. We didn't get very far before suddenly I'm blocked. Which is obviously very confusing because we were getting along fine. Tumblr is a bad site and so I thought it might have been an accident, I've been blocked on accident before mid-conversation and the other person has no idea how it happened. Nope, switched to my main and the embcrs mun is vauging about not having any Luffy's to interact with … like ok? Lol. You know what's interesting about this? cathiief and embcrs ship their muses, a little scrolling shows me how again it's end game. 🤔 

I of course assume the Nami was in their ear. Oh, don't rp with cannibal they write incest.

I move on, laughing with my friends about how petty this human has to be. Next I find @chivalryburdened and we get two things started without any issue. It happens again: one moment they're on my dash, the next, gone. I've been blocked again?! This time I hadn't even reached out to the mun. Digging a little further into their blog, guess who've they've been writing smut with and endgame ship with. The same Nami. I don't recall the time between these two incidents but funny how that happened twice right? 

Wrong.

Looking through the OP rp tag I noticed a LOT of promos or post that were there suddenly aren't. People I skipped over for one reason or another, be it I hadn't the time to read their rules yet or didn't want another multi-fandom blog on my dash are gone. Extremely talkative people I've noticed sending others inboxes are gone. 🤔 Switching to my main I see I'm blocked by all of these people without reason and they are all affiliated with the nami. 

Do I have proof she buzzed around in their ear and like sheep they bowed to her word? No. Maybe they didn't like my vibes? Valid and fine whatever. But it's awfully funny how this worked out huh.

You know the cherry on top of all of this? cathiief herself doesn't have my Sanji or Luffy blogs blocked. 😂 Like are you keeping an eye on me to inform your clique? Are you bored? Why are you not minding your God-given business? Aren't you tired? Are you mad? Girl, it was never that deep. I DON'T EVEN KNOW YOU from Tom, Dick or Harry. What are you doing LMAO. 

After saying all that you might be wondering why I even wrote this. Hell, I doubt she's going to read this or any of the other people I've @’d in this post will. I wrote this because what IN the world is going on in rpc’s in general. It's a race to the bottom. These same people will wonder why the rpc is dead and no one is reaching out besides the same three people if that. You killed it. You are policing people. You are tattling, in other people's business, throwing away friendships, all for what? To have your nose in the air and squawk about being the most morally good, thought-crime free writer in the whole community? That doesn't get you the gold star you think it does. I wrote this because I needed to vent my frustration.

I'm going to close this out by saying I don't wish @cathiief any ill will or anything really. I never knew you. You're a loser and kinda sad actually. I don't care if you think I'm a bitch or gross or whatever. I'm not here to psychoanalyze you because I don't care about you. I don't respect you. I'm ambivalent about you.

Oversharing On The Internet

Thank you @iboatedhere 🍋🛶

ONE: Are you named after anyone?

No. My dad was desperately grasping for anything, because he hated the name my mom wanted. He did a pretty good job though.

TWO: When was the last time you cried?

I honestly don’t remember. My dad is battling some really scary health stuff right now, so it was probably related to that.

THREE: Do you have kids?

Stealing Rae’s answer: God no.

FOUR: Do you use sarcasm a lot?

Of course not (she said sarcastically)

FIVE: What sports have you played/do you play?

Despite my obsession with the beautiful game (football) (soccer) I never really played. I did, however, coach three-year-olds and that was kind of fun. Except for the time when I had to wear my local pro soccer team’s mascot costume (eww, so hot and smelly) and do photo ops with kids and some of the players (kind of neat). I was also on swim team in school and I was, like, really good at it.

SIX: What’s the first thing you notice about people?

Their teeth. I know, it’s weird!

SEVEN: What’s your eye colour?

Deep soulful brown.

EIGHT: Scary movies or happy endings?

I refuse to watch scary movies.

NINE: Any special talents?

Writing, I guess. Also I can cook.

TEN: Where were you born?

By the sea.

ELEVEN: What are your hobbies?

Reading, hiking, writing, watching the football (soccer), going to the matches and wearing my scarf and singing the silly little songs, listening to music in every form, going to record stores and buying records then bringing them home and listening to them. I go to a lot of concerts. Last one was Erykah Badu, can you believe it?

TWELVE: Do you have any pets?

Oh my god, you guys! I have been living in shitty apartments my whole adult life where I couldn’t have a dog. But I just made an offer on a home which was accepted and you know the first thing imma do is get me a dog! It’s going to be a Boston terrier and I wanna name it Disco Pickle.

THIRTEEN: How tall are you?

5'7

FOURTEEN: Favourite subject in school?

History in high school.

FIFTEEN: Dream job

Something in the music industry, maybe working at a quirky indie record label or being on the music team for a show like Lonestar. How do I get that job? I would crush that soundtrack.

Tagging: @freneticfloetry @chicgeekgirl89 @never-blooms & @carlos-in-glasses

Agreed, OP. EVERY bit of personal information you put on public sites is liable to become useful information for a stalker, hacker, or scammer, no joke. The more specific information you give, the easier a target you are for genuinely bad people.

Many of you reading this are probably too young to remember the old days of the Internet, but we used to be taught never to share anything especially personal about ourselves with each other. After all, you never truly know who's behind the other screen on the other end of your conversations. Many years ago, you didn't share your full real name, your age, your exact location, your birthday, and definitely didn't share your place of residence/mailing address, place of work, or any passwords or important numbers such as your driver's license, phone, bank, and social security number. Even sharing pictures from your day to day life was considered a risk once upon a time. Believe it or not, all of these things individually, but especially collectively, give people with bad intentions access to everything about you. And if they have access to everything about you, they can exploit you however they see fit. Typically that means getting your computer hacked, or your credit card stolen, or your bank account drained, or your identity stolen so someone can commit crimes under your name. But it can also perpetuate stalking and abuse as well.

The person you should always watch out for first and foremost online is yourself. Never overshare personal details; sharing a first name or alias, sharing an age or age range, and sharing what state or country you're in is more than enough information. It gives good people a basic idea of who you are, and keeps bad people from knowing too much. Always stay vigilant against people who try to pressure/trick you into giving out very personal details like the ones mentioned above. Those are the real bad apples of the bunch.

aside from your name/alias, your pronouns, and your age... you don't need to document every fundamental detail about yourself on your blog. you don't need to spill every secret or document every minor detail about your life, your health, or your situation. if something is crucial to your portrayal, or you feel something needs to be established for the sake of your comfort/safety... that's different. otherwise... stop oversharing. don't give out your real name, last name, location, or your job. there are people out there with bad intentions and you are making it so much easier for them to cause problems. protect yourself. i don't care if 'stranger danger' sounds juvenile to you now - it's still a thing, and some people in the rpc are far too comfortable dispensing information about themselves to people they don't know.

(Btw this is gonna be really rambly im so sorry if you read this) Can we take a sec to appreciate Anthony’s portrayal of the cycle of depression and the pit that people can get put into by traumatic events.

Like ive relistened to Grant’s conversation with Yeet multiple times and something about it that just makes it hit hard is how relatable it is. For anyone who has experienced depression or had loved ones who have been through that experience and can see themselves in Yeet’s position.

I personally can understand where Grant is coming from. He looks back at the past and everything seems brighter he could feel things. Little things made him happy like the smile of a friend or inside jokes that made him crack up but now he doesnt see the same color in the world now its just black and white the only glimpses of color he might see anymore is when something physical happens and that something physical is most often times pain. It was put well when it was said that it was making a binary it really does. Being numb is a horrible distant feeling and it drags you down and suffocates you. And talking to parents is such a hard things to do. No matter how much they say “you can talk to me” its hard to believe because they wouldnt get it they are so strong and they’ve never been in this situation. Like personally my parents are like Carol and Darryl (but more stable) they met in highschool got married when my mom graduated. They never were a queer kid who’s highkey scared to come out because of the what if factor. And i feel like Grant has a pressure put on him (probably by himself) to just be a good quiet kid. The unsteadiness between Carol and Darryl and probably be seem by him and he doesn’t want to cause a fuss with his own problems when he has stuff to deal with. It doesnt help when whenever tried to talk to his dad he was told that they would talk about it later-

In Darryl’s defense the situation was extremely stressful, it doesn’t excuse him kinda pushing off his kid but it explains it. He knew he had a set time limit to somehow try to break the blood pact and he kinda had that “wait till the right moment” mentality. The problem is there is no right moment to talk and open up. Darryl tried to wait for a moment instead of creating one. Which as i said before it’s understandable most of the  tournament was very “go, go, go”

A few things i cant stop thinking about and wanna talk about is all the little subtleties that kinda go over your head when first listening that Anthony buries in there. Such as Grant saying he wasnt hungry despite it being stated that the boys hadnt eaten for a few days. Probably to Grant he didnt feel hungry, he just felt numb and maybe the hunger pains were little reminders that he was still alive and that it was real and that life is real. Once again Grant is so fucking relatable- ive been there, fuck ive been there recently when i realize it’s been over a day and a half since i last ate and im just like ope-

But Darryl is getting better, and the little talk that he and Grant had before Grant talked with Yeet was actually a super good thing. Whats happening with Grant is not a “one talk and its all fixed” thing it’s something that needs to be worked towards. Grant needs to actually believe that Darryl cares and that Darryl will be there.

Anyways i have alot more to say on this but like ope- basically Grant is super relatable and Anthony apparently enjoys making us cry.



THIS POST WAS MADE BEFORE OCT 2020 I FUCKEN HATE DNDADS NOW ASK ME WHY :) PLS DONT LIKE IT

[adorawasright]

(quote of your ask anwser) once saw a stan sharing their entire traumatic backstory and accusing someone of “supporting their abuser” because that someone didn’t like C//A. which, again, undermines the experiences of victims/survivors of abuse behind the “evil antis”, not to mention how fucking dangerous that is, since many C//A stans are minors and tend to overshare very personal information" WAIT DID THEY ACTUALLY DO THATSTUFF?! Did parents stop teaching minors about not oversharing PUBLICLY?

no yeah, that actually happened once. I wouldn't want to expose the stan, but they very much exposed their whole childhood trauma and accused someone of "defending their abuser" because OP didn't like Catra/C//A.

unfortunately nowadays minors will share their entire diagnosis and traumatic experiences to strangers on the internet. like I don't blame ppl for venting online, but most of the time they'll overshare very personal information. and that includes Catra/C//A stans because like 99% of them project themselves onto Catra, so they'll accuse all the antis of disliking them personally and they want to prove the antis why they're wrong and why Catra "did nothing wrong, actually".

[unikittythings]

Random thoughts of mine while watching the promised neverland episode 8:

There is some space in the op, so the question is will it be filled

Did Peter look this old in the manga?

I love and at the same time hate it that we get to see what goes on in Lamda

That went gory real fast

Yeah, they drove Norman kind of insane

Of course Norman starts his plan one day early 🤦‍♀️

They really got me with the demon children in the village 🥺

Look what you did Norman

It's interesting to see that other demons also can't turn wild

[kickingcrohnsdisease-blog]

Sharing my story:

Sharing my story has been on my heart now for quite some time. I am a pretty private person, and pretty much the farthest thing from a blogger or internet personality, but, as of recently, I feel called to share my triumphs and trials with whomever wants to (or needs to) listen.

I was diagnosed with Crohn’s Disease when I was eight years old and have now been battling this grueling disease for 18 years. Although treatments have come an amazingly long way since I was first diagnosed, there is still no cure, and day-to-day life can be pretty tough- both for me and my loved ones.

http://www.crohnscolitisfoundation.org/what-are-crohns-and-colitis/what-is-crohns-disease/

My disease started in my sigmoid colon. Over the years, it has progressed up into my descending and left transverse colon as well as down through my rectum and, as of my hospital stay last week, my small intestine is involved. I have had five surgeries, leaving me with three feet less colon than you lucky ones, and more colonoscopies than all of your parents and grandparents combined. I currently have a colostomy (read: poop bag), which is what ultimately prompted me to start oversharing on this blog.

Here’s what I want to talk most about with you all: Life has a funny way of stopping you in your tracks, usually to make you laugh and cry and curse all at the same time, and there is most certainly a gift of unanswered prayers. I would not know this latter, outstanding truth without my disease. The funny thing is that the deeper my relationship grows with Jesus the harder I struggle with my disease. And, right in the middle of that confusing, almost maddening statement, lies the gift we, while on Earth, can only get a glimpse of: Jesus.

As I write this, I am 79 days post-op from getting my colostomy. I hope that you enjoy this crazy ride with me- good and bad- and that, even if you don’t have any connection to living with a chronic disease, you can learn a little bit about life and maybe even get to know Jesus along the way.

R is drunk and raving (not in the party way).

(R:) Additionally, I’m procrastinating like a fucking champion at working on fic construction, so you know the best use of my time is going off about random social media crap on the internet.

tl;dr: Putting all commentary in tags on Tumblr makes R cry and shit thousands of words into the Internet.

Every social media site inevitably develops sets of unwritten social conventions. Some of them actually make sense as being derived from meatspace etiquette and therefore you don’t really have to stress about remembering them as long as you play nice like a decent creature.

And some of them just don’t make any fucking sense that I can see. Folks on Twitter using a deliberately space-limited form of media to write a page’s worth or more in a string of 30+ rapidfire tweets? This is just how it’s done over there? (Tweetlonger exists but for some reason these massive chain-tweeters never seem to use it. Same with posting the whole thing in a long-form site like LJ/DW/Tumblr and just linking it to a tweet.)

And Tumblr has things that I literally had to put effort into learning after I migrated here, and after I learned about them I frankly decided to ignore them because I couldn’t see the point in them. Tumblr has this bizarre allergy to commentary and, likely derived from that, the practice of instead commenting by putting it all in awkward tags that render the tagging system not especially useful and are harder to get to if you’re actually interested in an individual’s thoughts about a thing and not just the twelfth instance of the same post crossing your dash in a day or two. It’s not like you can’t engage with people, because asks and messaging and such exist, but like...there’s this strong sense that it’s Terribly Ill-Mannered to weigh in with your own impressions right there, in the body of the post, typing your own words in that seductive, wide-open text box that appears all on its own when you go to reblog something. The properly-socialized Tumblrite eschews that tempting text field and instead posts weird sentence fragments in tag form (interspersed with actual tags that might serve to usefully categorize the post’s content), to the extent that some people can add on a good couple paragraphs of material down among the hashtags where others need to go looking for it on purpose if they want it. (I, at least, haven’t been able to find a plugin or something that automatically expands full tags on all posts so that I don’t have to fuck around with extra interface elements to get to them. I admit that I haven’t looked super hard, though.)

Preserving the original form of the OP’s post is a noble practice that I heartily support, but how is adding commentary a problem if you’re only adding a separate thing, not taking away or altering anything in the original...? This was already a practice/convention/code of social interaction on Tumblr when I got here, so I was never in the front row to witness this element taking shape. I suppose it must have made good sense at the time, but every time I see ten people reblogging the same post with no additions and a paragraph of tags appended to it, it’s like a splinter in my brain that has been digging into me for years now.

And I’m not hating on people who do that! I get that that’s The Way It’s Done Here and I am the deviant weirdo for continually adding comments directly onto things that I reblog. Tags are where individuality lives here, unless you’re producing your own original posts, which I guess other people are then supposed to reblog without commentary so that you have to go hunting after all the reblogs individually if you want to get an actual sense of what these people were all thinking when they reblogged your thing. It all just seems...so...WORK INTENSIVE, refusing to use site functions as they were intended??

Look, I absolutely know that my commentary is not the work of incisive genius that unfailingly adds value to every post I find worthy of my attention. We’re pretty much solid shitposting on this blog. Because I’m a little loaded at the moment and that gives me a handy excuse to run my fingers like an idiot (plus I put that readmore up there, so if your eyes are actually consuming these words, you have only yourself to blame for being here), let me run down relevant history of how we got here.

LJ was home for a good long while. Then shit got seriously messed up and Dreamwidth was created as a better LJ, so we migrated all our stuff over there. And journaling sites along those lines still feel like a native environment. I, in particular, am the most long-winded piece of shit we know and I am honestly incapable of talking about anything of worth in short form. It’s a sickness and I just sort of have to own it. :/ But that’s why journaling sites are a good place for me to live, because that’s where people go when they have the inclination to read meandering scrawls about the depths of other people’s lives or whatever.

We went to Twitter for a good while because all the cool people we knew from LJ were going there for some unfathomable reason. These people wrote things that were complex and fascinating to read, so all of them jumping ship to a place that limited them to 140-character chunks made no damn sense, but we loved those people and wanted to trust that they knew what the hell they were doing. And they probably did, and a couple of us were actually okay with Twitter, but I, being the long-winded shitpiece, spent a lot of time frustrated and kind of overstimulated.

Then things started going to hell more and more consistently for me personally (and us generally by extension, but that’s unnecessary detail). Bunkering down specifically to protect people that you care about from the fallout of your crazy is a fairly common thing for mentally-ill people to do, I think. So I’d shut up online until I felt stable enough to talk to people again. Those periods lasted a few days, then a week or more, then a month, then eventually I stopped talking entirely. I missed the LJ/DW format, but in the past I’d written about life events and things I was thinking about and such, so...at the time, all I really had to write about was the bad stuff. So LJ/DW was basically unusable as well.

I literally came here to be as shallow as I could possibly manage. Tumblr had a rapid, chaotic flow similar to Twitter, but could hold longer content like LJ/DW. We’ve never really used the site’s full functionality at any point, though. For at least a year, all we were following was the most lightweight, zero-calorie entertainment that we could find. (We actually came here for Flight Rising content, so there was a lot of that.) Being engaged with fandom in any consistent respect is an extremely recent thing.

And I’m not saying that fandom hasn’t got depth and complexity because it absolutely does and that’s one of the beautiful things about shared fan experiences. I kind of got into that sort of fandom by accident after getting here and rediscovering Transformers. But the unvoiced policy that I’ve always had here is to avoid the Too Real and dodge serious topics whenever possible. Thus, no gender theory, no neurodivergence or multiplicity, no nonhumanity, no religion or UPG, nothing with real substance behind it that bared real vulnerabilities. (Apparently this was a good move anyway because the nonhuman and multiplicity situation here on Tumblr is a bit of a clusterfuck? I honestly wouldn’t know, as I haven’t made a lot of effort to link up with those folks.) That’s still the policy. That might remain the policy forever until I reach some vaguely-defined threshold of sanity that makes me worthy of talking about those things in places and formats that other people can interact with.

And I’m sorry for all this talk about mental illness, but it’s simpler just to explain things clearly. I likely won’t go into any more detail about it on Tumblr. Or anywhere else, because I care about people even if I’ve never met them or talked to them at all and I still want to keep it all in the bunker to protect good people from the crazy. Sometimes, all you can do is just prevent the damage from spilling out into other people’s lives, and that’s the place that I usually operate from.

I’m still pretty drunk, so I’m allowed to ramble from too much truth serum, but all of that explanation was to get around to saying that the format of online communication that is most intuitive to me is the long, oversharing gut-spill of random people talking about things that are really meaningful to them - not in the sense of elaborate philosophy or artsy epistles to the cosmos, but just people being super real about things that are meaningful to them and going into lots of detail about them because gushing about things you love is great. And it’s possible to get that sort of discussion and gushing in Tumblr fandom, and I love it because it reminds me of better times, and the fact that I love it is WHY IT MAKES ME SO GODDAMN FRUSTRATED that Tumblr culture is basically stifling discussion and feedback and RESPONSE to things that people find interesting!!

Like, here’s how I see it. Unlike on LJ/DW, where you were limited to hyperlinking to a cool post in one of your own posts if you wanted your readers to go check it out, on Tumblr, if you find a super cool thing, you can pull it directly into your space and let other people experience it directly, exactly as you experienced it. But the thing is, I also subscribe to the My Blog My House concept. If I pull a thing into my “home,” I do it because there’s something homelike about it; it belongs in my home for some specific reason. I don’t take “ownership” of an item in the sense that I’m claiming it in place of its creator, but I’m taking ownership of it in the sense that it’s part of my Stuff now and it’ll get my fingerprints all over it and be blended into the general morass of Stuff that I recognize as my home. I don’t just pull random crap into my home for no reason at all.

And I just figure that other people are similar in the sense that they reblog things for distinct, unique reasons, not in the sense that they have some master plan for their blog content (some do, but it’s not necessary), but just that they have compelling reasons why they pick certain bits of content out of the larger river of their dashboard and put it in their own space for people to experience with them. I follow people based on the interesting things that they find interesting. I’m interested in why they’re interested in those things. They seem like interesting people to me because they’re interested in what they’re interested in.

But the WHY is a really important part of the equation for me. Did this person reblog that photo because they’ve been to that place themselves, because they like that kind of tree, because they reblog photos with that color scheme every Thursday? Did that person reblog that piece of art because they love that character, because they’re studying that art medium, because it reminded them of something funny they saw somewhere else? People attach their own context to things that they latch onto. It’s so freaking weird to me that people have to hide their interpretations or impressions in tags here on Tumblr, making them unimportant and optional in the process of sharing things they like with others. (Okay, people also share a lot of things they hate, but reasons for outrage are still part of the context that one adds to content.)

I WANT TO KNOW WHY YOU CARE ABOUT WHAT YOU’RE SHOWING ME. I WANT TO KNOW WHAT MAKES IT IMPORTANT TO YOU. I WANT TO KNOW WHAT IT MAKES YOU THINK AND FEEL. Even if it’s a blurb about how giant robots fuck or a cute kitten video, I NEED TO KNOW THESE THINGS.

Not in excruciating detail or with insightful analysis or even a lot of text at all. Mostly, the things that people put in tags are things that, to me, are a really crucial part of the experience of being able to go into someone’s “home” and see the Stuff that they chose to put in it. Reducing oneself to a glorified signal repeater is...okay, I guess, though it turns a Tumblr blog into a kind of faceless stream of other people’s material a lot of the time. The personal touch is what makes it all interesting. And I’m just unutterably frustrated that, somewhere along the line, it was decided that personalizing an experience by sharing one’s own impressions of it became rude enough that polite society decided that it had to be hidden away in tags. I want all of it, so I do go looking for it, but omg it requires MORE EFFORT and BURNING CALORIES and BODILY MOVEMENT and WAAAAH, you know what I mean. :P

And possibly Tumblr society is right and it’s done for a good, decent purpose and I’m being pigheaded and uncool by insisting on doing things my way without bothering to try and understand the local customs. I’m not usually that much of an asshole, but I am about this, for some reason. And I admit that my craving for those personal touches could very well spring from how utterly isolated and lonely I am, so maybe normal people really don’t need all the extra info and actually do just want mostly-impersonal streams of content. And that’s fine, since I know I’m kind of a weirdo even on my best days.

I’m pretty sure that that was all that I really wanted to say. I’m probably overreacting about the whole comments-in-tags thing. Like I said, it’s kind of an irrational irritation. Also, I need to stop before I write myself sober and no longer have an excuse for all of this. If you actually read all of that, you are an awesome, generous person and I’m pretty damn certain that I love you even though I have no idea who you are.

[seedling-lotus]

this rant about asexuality is brought to you by this post, and contains way too much oversharing, but its four in the morning and i don’t give a single solitary fuck right now

that pun was not entirely intentional. 

anyway... so yeah, that post lit a fire under my ass or something and seriously ticked me off. not really the second part, but definitely OP... because like... look... i’m 23... i’m ace as fuck, and i’ve literally never been on a date or attempted sex or even masturbated. never orgasmed once in 23 years. but you know what... i don’t really care. maybe i do have a hormone imbalance. maybe there is something seriously wrong with my body because pleasure is not pleasurable to me. but the fact of the matter is that even if I went to a doctor and they managed to fix all of those potential problems, that is not going to make me sexually attracted to anyone... like...having a libido is not suddenly going to make me want a dick. its just not going to happen. 

argh, that shit really just pisses me off. like... i question my orientation a lot, i really do, but the truth of the matter is that the only thing that even remotely gets me aroused is the idea of other people’s pleasure, never the idea of my own. and i’m not sexually attracted to anyone. i find some people aesthetically pleasing. some people extremely aesthetically pleasing. don’t get me wrong. but the most i want out of that is maybe a kiss, definitely a hug, and a very long nap with all of our clothing.

i’ll admit. I grew up thinking i was straight for a really long time. I am definitely interested in bodies and how they react to things... but like... i also realize that the way i am... the internet and poorly written pornographic fiction is about as close as i’ll ever get to experiencing any of it. I’m too fluster prone. I’m not comfortable in my own body or in my own curiosity. i’m still trying to figure out what i am. the only thing i know for certain is that i’m ace. i have never, ever looked at a person and wanted them to pound me into a mattress, or a wall, or the floor, or whatever. i don’t look at people and want them to take me, want them to touch me. the idea of being touched by most people actually seriously discomforts me. i literally commissioned an ace colored ring for my left hand ring finger to ward off suitors. because the idea of dating, the idea that a datemate would want sex from me, terrifies me. i don’t know how to open up to people, how to care about them. My best friend is my only friend off the internet and i’m so bad at being a person that i’m not even sure I have any internet friends. and being like that, how on earth could i ever find a datemate? I tried... barely... dating sites, but even that flustered me so badly i couldn’t even respond. i’m terrified of people... i’m so terrified of people i can’t even get the help i obviously need... 

but yeah, anyway, that OP seriously pissed me right the fuck off and I give up...

The Satirically Cut-and-Pasted World of Data Drive

The Data Drive is a look into the future economic health of online media websites, which will become less profitable and therefore less interesting. Zuckerberg has abandoned the site, and it’s been picked up by aspiring entrepreneur Buck Calhoun, data and all. Your “newsfeed” is filled with fake articles detailing Calhoun’s rise and conspiring Zuckerberg’s whereabouts. Now the only “friend” that messages you is Chipotle - oh, and your oversharing suggested friend, Austin Block.

Investigating the need for instantly vs intimacy, the site showcases a bleak and immediate op-ed piece for Slate’s culture blog Browbeat. The editor’s note reads: “in an effort to get you our opinions as soon as possible, this piece is being published LIVE!” Ends up being a stream-of-conscious article diving unprofessionally deep into the woes of MFA holders who long ago in college (re: >2 yrs ago) foresaw a future where internet media & companies thrived, a digital revolution. Alas, after graduating, they now realize these companies fizzled or burned out as quickly as they blew up. TechCrunch forsee this demise in their article, “Tech Bubble? Maybe, Maybe Not.”

The site is created by Daniel Kolitz, Adrian Chen, Alix Rule and Sam Lavigne, as part of their program Useless Press. Data Drive is littered with original articles cut and pasted together, an interactive collage full of clippings of useless information & desperate seek for likes, clicks and add space filling the fake news feed. A clutter of junk that turned what was once a haven of all your important stuff into marketing tool after marketing tool. it emphasizes the site’s shift from a place of user-generated content with no ads to sponsored content riddled with it in every word, simply a hub to collect information.

This dystopia does illustrate an interesting idea - that it’s time for a new digital revolution. Social media is the early 2000′s renaissance, but with the new decade must come something different. We’ve already seen a huge shift in the digital horizon with a change from MP3s to digital streaming, which in itself has evolved from internet radios such as Pandora or Last.FM to instant services for any song you want from Spotify to Apple Music.

The next move for online connection may be micro. Sites like Twitter only allow 140 characters, and Vine videos are only 12 seconds long. On Snapchat, you can only see an image for mere seconds before it disappears. This developing landscape leaves the door open, and it will be interesting to see what comes next.

What we do know is the inevitable future Facebook will feel, a demise met by its predecessors MySpace and Friendster that, according to the guys of Data Drive, may be even grimmer. It’s an end coming sooner than we may think - the site was made in August 2015, with articles posted in March of 2016. Emoji reactions may not be enough to save you, FB!
