You've said before you like it when people reblog memes directly from you. Why? Isn't it annoying?
Hey! So great question!!
I am from the olden days of rping on tumblr, where the reblog from the source thing wasn't such a big deal. So, part of it is it's just more comfortable to me and makes it feel more like I'm used to. I do work on reblogging from the source for memes now, but it does feel weird to me.
Sometimes I really really really really want to do a meme. Even if people don't send it to me, I know then they are interested in that meme and if I'm feeling brave, I can send it to them. Sometimes I can't keep up with my dash or I have to reblog a meme and then walk away from my laptop for a few minutes so I don't always see if someone else just so happened to reblog the same meme from the same source I did. But if they reblog from me, I get a notification.
I don't really find it that annoying to get the notifications. I do get why it might be annoying to some, but to me, I actually enjoy it. Here's the thing, I'm an OC blog. It's not like my notifications are difficult to keep up with. I can go days without a notification.
I see a lot of people saying "it sucks to have people reblog the meme but then not send any" and you are so right. But, you're not getting the memes sent in anyways, so the "reblog from the source" isn't solving the actual problem which is people don't send in memes. It's just hiding it. In fact, I think reblogging from the source is causing less memes to be sent in. This is perhaps the secret evil side to my desire to be reblogged from but... I do think people are more apt to send in a meme if they feel slight guilt at reblogging it from you. Whereas, if they reblog from the source - they don't feel the guilt. It's a free pass to not send any memes.

a lot of people are using nex as a queer talking point without even mentioning they were choctaw and 2S. without even mentioning that this - harassment, assault, murder, disappearances, lies/indifference/denial about the circumstances of our death - is typical of the violence we face. not once have i seen non-native people address that we, as natives, face this same treatment within queer communities. that queer institutions use our land while declining to offer native-inclusive and -sensitive care. we suffer at the hands of white lgbt+ people just as much as we do at the hands of people outside the community.
nex is not your NB pariah. nex was a 2S, NB, choctaw child. thousands of native people go missing and are killed and no one cares. many are two-spirit. many are LGBTQIA+. many are "queer" in ways only defined and recognised by our closed cultures, that you may never hear of and may never understand.
if you are going to flock to nex, you are not going to take them from us post-mortem. they were choctaw. they were native. their tribal affiliation has already been falsely reported on. if you are talking about nex, you will talk about how unwelcoming and dangerous your communities are for us, too. you will talk about how natives face this violence constantly, everywhere. you will not remove nex from the context of them being choctaw, ever - or you won't say their name at all.
even when we die, you don't care about us. i am telling you to care about us if you want us to stop dying.

so idk how to explain when I think someone is good looking
because it's a rare occurrence and like I just agree that they look good, that have some charm but that's that
I don't actually want to pursue anything with them or be sad if they have a partner or think about them after that or smth, idk what people actually do or think when they see someone attractive ??? (I've seen people try to give them their contact info and I'm like what but you don't know them ???)
that being said, I had never seen Bruno Mars before but that man is (was?) good looking
pretty wild because when i notice it's about women not men
but I was watching some videos and I'm like ??? how ??????

Girl help I’ve lost myself to the ways in which Eathbound(one of my don’t cry songs) is the same song as Better Days (an encouragement/it’s okay to feel hurt song)
And YES I got this because they both talk about burning what I consider some of the truest statements you can make about yourself. Like SHIT MAN. WHAT THE FUCK

Procrastinating on my work bc I'm obsessing over the Layton content in the year of our lord 2023
So this image came out as a preview thing and it got me real excited, obvs
But then I looked closer and I was like "hang on. That's weird, what's going on here? Why is Luke so young again, and does he look kinda different?
(His eyes look a bit longer, hair slightly different color?? it could just be me having slight face blindness but idk.)
Then I got to thinking. The end of Unwound Future has Luke mailing the professor about some "strange things going on," and you can see in the image that he's still young Luke as we knew him.
But also, in the Katrielle anime, Luke was shown there as well as a full on adult.
So this got me thinking of two different possibilities here:
This is a direct sequel to Unwound Future, but a prequel to the Katrielle games. AKA, "Layton the Pre-Sequel"
2. You get to explore with Luke's son. Grandpappy Layton
Both are amazing and I don't know which one I love more

i read too many fantasy books i just read the new ones and go wow
read this before
and i haven't
unfortunately i have unkillable love for side characters syndrome so as much as the whole premise may be kinda halfway to shit and the main character is once again the most special ever and the lead is the same fifty shades of morally grey and bland hot i will still read the books and the sequels just so they don't kill off my new children
and then they do

NOTE: THIS ITEM IS CURRENTLY IN PREORDER. IT WILL SHIP IN JUNE-JULY 2023. We will be printing based on preorder size, so grab one now if you want one!
More than 40 trans writers and artists have joined forces to explore the deeper meanings of the Fast & Furious franchise (and also gender). There's really no way to know why this exists, but it does, and you can own it! Suitable for F&F fans and newcomers alike. Contributions include:
- A new short story by Manhunt author Gretchen Felker-Martin
- A demolition derby driver’s perspective on 2 Fast 2 Furious’s derby scene
- An essay contemplating the queer symbolism of Cipher’s bowl cut
- The scoop on the franchise’s only canonically nonbinary character
- Instructions for an F&F-themed tabletop roleplaying game
- A contemplation of which Taylor Swift album represents each F&F character
- Plus: Bingo cards! Comics! Haiku! And, of course, hot gay erotica…
2 Trans 2 Furious is edited by Tuck Woodstock & Niko Stratis, with cover art by Mattie Lubchansky and zine design by Shay Mirk.
~
This zine is 8.5" x 5.5" and perfect-bound like a real book — fancy! Interior pages are black & white. We're guessing this baby is like 100 pages long but we'll get back to you on that.
Currently only shipping to the United States, sorry! We're hoping to at least expand to Canada soon, and also plan to add a PDF ebook option, so keep an eye out!
(that "the scoop on the franchise's only canonically nonbinary character" is the page i contributed about our one & only beloved akd-acted cam stone!! plus also if you're interested in preordering a fancy printed copy of a zine about fast & furious, which you don't have to even know about or like, with all trans contributors. including me)
