#or EVEN BETTER

[nighttimenothings]

kind of insane how i don't have someone bent over the sink, telling them to look into the mirror—at how messy and flushed they look as i rail them. crazy how i'm not telling them to take it just like that; how my hands aren't trailing up their thighs and my fingers aren't digging into the softness of their hips and waist??? genuinely baffled actually.

Hey @netflix honestly how do you expect people to watch your shows and invest their time and money into you when EVERY SINGLE TIME you have something people love you just throw it away?

What’s the fucking point if a show with a 92/90 on Rotten Tomatoes and that’s made MULTIPLE Best Of lists isn’t even given a chance to grow?

Let’s look at some comparisons of a few other recent Netflix shows that got a second (or more) season, shall we? How are they stacking up on RT?

Stranger Things: 91/90

The Sandman: 88/80

Bridgerton: 84/74

Shadow & Bone: 83/84

Wednesday: 73/85

Locke & Key: 68/56

Avatar: The Last Airbender: 61/72

Fate: The Winx Saga: 45/82

So good reviews and critical acclaim won’t do it. Multiple weeks on your top 10 won’t do it, making the Nielsen top 10 won’t do it. Engagement from a devoted fan base won’t do it. I’m curious, what’s the metric here? Just because it wasn’t an instant runaway sensation, it’s not worth it to you? Is that what it takes?

Here’s a hot tip: if you want people to continue to pay for a subscription to your service, maybe give stuff a chance to grow. Maybe invest a bit of time into actually advertising a show before it premiers.

One of the most popular tweets about Dead Boy Detectives when it came out was someone saying they didn’t want to watch it because they didn’t trust you not to cancel it and break their hearts. There were THOUSANDS of people agreeing with it. Thousands of viewers, thousands of accounts you missed out on because people didn’t trust you. So how is this move going to help that?

How are you planning to get people to stick around when one of the best shows on your platform isn’t given a chance? How are you expecting them to ever give your shows a chance when you’re proving again and again that you can’t be trusted to follow through?

Dead Boy Detectives is a great show. It’s a quality product. The cinematography, the lighting, the sound design, the sets, the props, the COSTUMES. The scripts are good, the acting is great, the effects are believable. the cast and crew poured their hearts into it and you can see it on the screen. The characters are relatable and real. This is a show that is rewatchable. A show that is fun. A show that is entertaining. That has a good message, that deals with heavy topics with care and sensitivity. That’s got comedy and drama and horror and mystery. That’s got representation and diversity. That means something to people. Means A LOT to people. But that’s not important to you.

Dead Boy Detectives was THE reason I renewed my account. I watched it multiple times. (See how many magnifying glasses there are after my name up there? Fun fact: I added one every time I watched the full season.) I was even making a list of other shows and movies I was planning to check out. But that’s not happening any more, because I’m canceling my account as soon as this post is up. And I know I’m not the only one.

Whenever I see a panel of Dick Grayson, even if he's not doing anything or contributing to the story in any way, I just want to take a picture of it and hoard it like a dragon atop a vast treasure.

Okay okay consider this stupid ass idea

What if

And here me out

What if dubstep was like, all curse words to cybertronians?

Like

How fucking funny would that be?

Malleus looking at everyone else being happier than him:

[call-me-strega]

Broke: Drawing Jason Todd to look like he’s a power-lifter who’s got 3 kids, a house and a mortgage at the same age he’d be a college freshman

Woke: Drawing Jason Todd like a junior Olympian so that he can have a young face and athletic body

Bespoke: Drawing Jason “baby face” Todd with a face that looks young and a body that’s jacked so the second he takes off his Hood people get whiplash and bartenders still refuse to serve him even though he’s 21 now

“Lando is being a baby” Lando Norris is an actual human being who is being decimated by the press at every second and being told that he is not worth anything— even though he has made it very clear that he has struggled with mental health issues his entire life.

I actually don’t care how rude or mean he is IMAGINE if that had to be you. If every time you showed weakness or anything other than pure macho aggression people told you that you are just not worth achieving your dreams. Day in, day out, and very publicly to millions of people

Grow up and put yourself in the shoes of this actual human being. I don’t know why people have to tell you to maybe consider what might be going through someone else brain.

Ik everyone loves platinic with capital p stobin, everyone loves their friendship, i'm not Not Like The Other girls there, I adore them too. But i've seen a few ideas that I don't necessarily strongly disagree with, but that I'd like to suggest an alternative perspective to.

Mainly, the idea that Robin would be a Bros Before Hoes kind of lesbian. Not an unreasonable idea, not a bad idea - but consider Robin watching Nancy break up with Jonathan, Steve gravitating back to her side, they spin around each other, he tells Robin he still loves her, and for a moment, it looks like Nancy loves him to. And Robin bites her tongue and it burns because ever since she met Steve, this is the first time she feels she needs to hide again. To not tell him she's in love. But she's only human and she can only take so much shameful jealousy and longing, and one day she cracks and screams everything to him. She yells with tears in her eyes, wildly gesticulating with her hands, that Steve doesn't understand Nancy, that he should be able to see Nancy would never be happy following his dream, and she hates to say it, hates even more to think it, but in her darkest moments, she lets herself realize she'd be able to give Nancy the life she wants if Nancy looked at her - and she feels predatory and gross for thinking that way, but having a real fight with Steve for the first time, she she says things whose aftertaste later feels monstruos in her mouth - that is he stupid? and does he not know Nancy? and she doesn't care that he's known her for much longer, and no, she's not stepping out of line, he is, and he asks why does she feel entitled to have an opinion on his relationship or what Nancy chooses, and she almost snaps and says "because I... I'm her friend". Steve is not stupid, actually. Okay, he is, but he knows Robin, and it took him a moment - he's slow like that - and it dawns on him, that his best friend is in love with his girlfriend, and she's fighting him for her.

missa (desperately in love with his husband) and philza (thinks this is all very platonic) is actually the best way this could work out

The fact that Emily never had a child even though it was expressed multiple times and every time she was with a kid she was absolutely amazing is ABSOLUTELY BONKERS.

Also the fact that Emily related to Jade and got through to her is making me go 👀

So even when my phone is on MUTE, and my Tumblr setting says to NEVER auto-play any media, including videos and gifs.

Video ads still AUTO-PLAY with FULL SOUND!

Now that is one absolute way @staff can ensure I stop using the tumblr app altogether.

No more discreet scroll through my dash in my 5 mins making tea at the office. No more scrolling on the bus, train, waiting somewhere public. No more scrolling on the app early in the morning in bed, or late at night just before you go to sleep.

There is no way in hell, I will open Tumblr anytime on my phone if this is a thing now.

Fuck this.

I can't take away Tumblr's access to my audio. But if my phone is on SILENT, an app should not have the power to overwrite that.
