after the twitter implosion of 2022, it would be hysterical if we, collectively as fandoms, started making au’s where the protagonist helps the twitter crisis along a makes a fake verified celebrity account only to fall in love with the celebrity. Or a tumblr refugee fic where they meet while flocking to tumblr after the massacre.
I really really don't want tumblr to become like regular social media. I wanna still be able to swear like a sailor and give funny life updates while remaining anonymous. I like hellsite, favorite social media
Folks: you CANNOT censor trigger tags. When you block a tag, it doesn't block other "spellings" of it. Writing it as "r@pe" or "r4p3" means that someone who has "tw rape" as a blocked tag will still see that post because you didn't wanna say the word rape. You are hurting people. Do not censor words, because people do not have those filtered out.
And honestly if you can't even write the word rape to protect other people then you probably aren't old/mature enough to discuss the topic.
So tumblr has started putting this little banner at the top of posts from new accounts, and honestly I kinda dig it. I've seen a lot of people get absolutely eviscerated for doing something that was perfectly normal on their previous platform but a huge faux pas here, and I think this little banner will go a long way to mitigating that.
Editing to add: DO NOT BE SHITTY TO PEOPLE WITH THIS BANNER I SWEAR TO GOD IF THEY'RE TRYING TO BE NICE YOU BE NICE BACK OR SO HELP ME
i'm all for welcoming twitter and reddit users but you guys have got to leave your unsolicited argumentative dickheadery at the door. why are you reblogging fanart or people's original writing or people's goddamn personal posts like "ew this is gross" or "lmao cringe"? reblogging is not a quote tweet, it's not a comment we can downvote into oblivion, we can see this shit, it contributes nothing but pissing off you and everyone else. don't like something? block op and ignore it. the majority of tumblr stopped throwing shit at each other in 2019; you should too.
the twitter migrants complaining about the way tumblr functions are so funny because they will say things like "you mean i have to FOLLOW people? i dont get posts spoon fed to me by an algorithm???" like yeah these are positives on an unrelated note is your attention span doing alright
Tumblr is collectively doing this thing where we’re an old woman in the village minding our business and making our soup but the new gentrified neighbors want to come over and see if we’re interested in starting a Home Owner’s Association and so now we gotta pretend to be a crazy old lady who does devil sacraments and maybe will come to stand in front of their house at night and stare in their windows if they talk to us.
Could you do a tweet about pigs flying and having a Leaguer (maybe Nightwing?) getting confused
I really enjoyed reading these tweets. They’re really good :))))
Thank you!
Bonus:
Submissions and asks are open! If you have any requests or any fake tweets of your own just send them in! I will answer your ask or credit you, if you are anonymous I will credit ‘anonymous’. Any that are uncredited or don’t have an ask attached are my own.
Suggestions for backround characters to reply to tweets are also welcome! Please Include a username, display name, what city they’re in (do I know what superhero they may see in their day to day life) and a general personality like how they’d react to things. Nothing too complicated plz, it’s hard enough to remember the seven or so I made up already but I need a bit more diversity lol.
