having online friends who are busy is just like. I LOVE YOU. I miss you. YOU GOT THIS. I'm giving you space to work. I LOVE YOU.

which movies have you watched the most amount of times? they dont have to be your actual favorite movies, just the ones youve rewatched most. for example: mine are the final destination movies and scream

Its Official

It's time for me to take a step back from Tumblr, officially. I haven't posted fics on here for a good while, though I've been wanting to, and I think its time that I finally throw in the hat.

Tumblr used to be a great place for writers to share their work but, for the past few months, it just feels like a creativity farm. Creators, whether writers or artist, or other, have been made to feel like cattle who produce work for people who show no gratitude.

I've seen posts of people asking for fics of a certain show/film, character or trope. "We need more fics of *insert character of your choosing*!!!!!!". So writers make it for them. They put effort into coming up with ideas, to writing the fic and making sure its true to character, true to the source as much as possible, and as much like the request as possible. And then they post it.

And then they get a like.

Now don't get me wrong, a like is great but it is not a show of appreciation. Liking a post means exactly that - you like it. A reblog is a sign of appreciation - a way to thank the person for making this work. You don't need to leave a comment or a tag in the reblog, the reblog itself is enough.

I've seen so many creators posting about the lack of interaction and being called entitled, and then see them lose motivation. Its heart breaking. Its heart breaking to see these talented people lose the love they had for their passion because people feel entitled to ask for that work and then show no appreciation.

I'm fortunate enough to not have personally experienced this. However, seeing the way others have been treated has demotivated me. Looking back over my fics and looking at my like-reblog ratio has demotivated me.

I'm just tired of the way creators are treated on here.

So I'm going to go, for now. I'm not even going to attempt to write for this site anymore because this is not the community that I signed up for. I'm going to go back to my original crappy writing site (I love it), writing for my original crappy fandom (I love them) that inspired me in the first place and hope, pray, that they can bring back that spark, that love, I had for writing.

Maybe then, once I have that spark and once creators, of all types, are treated right on this platform, I may return.

I will continue to read the amazing fics that are posted here, I will continue to appreciate my fellow creators by liking and rebloging your work but I'm taking a step back, officially, from creating for this site.

Remember...

marvel watching their new quantity-over-quality projects flop, realizing exactly how hard they fumbled the bag on setting up an ongoing Avengers Team Movie Series and frantically being like “ok ok maybe we uhhHHHHH try to get the OG avengers back. the circa 2012-2016 mcu zeitgeist avengers those ones were popular we can bring back the interest” is so sad.

like babe do u think u can simply turn back the hands of time. do u think u can simply bring back the characters u killed off for shock value and expect the same level of engagement. more importantly do u think you can simply afford a 2023 robert downey jr

accept ur failure with grace. steve is in the 40s now & tony you CHOSE To Do That,

i often see posts about soft and intimate aftercare towards subs, but ive always wanted to care for a dom after sex 🥹 wanna pull them closer to me, cup the side of their face and kiss their nose while reassuring them that i loved everything they did. wanna gently wipe away any tears that might form when they look at the marks they littered on my skin, all while making sure to tell them i think they look beautiful on me. wanna help them if dom drop ever happens, saying gentle affectionate praises to them and whispering sweet nothings if they wish for me to. wanna reassure them that i dont see them as a sexual object, that id still love them if they werent in the mood for sex, that theres so much more to love about them that isnt just them being my dom. wanna snuggle up with them under the covers once theyre feeling better and just fall asleep in each others arms, all while theres a little smile on my face knowing my dom trusts me to take care of them 🥹💜

there are a lot of evil people in the world and a lot of darkness in the world and so it’s very important for me to stress that now more than ever is the time to spread kindness and compassion. combat the evil by not only not partaking in it, but actively refuting it. destroy the notion that being compassionate or generous or kind to someone is uncool or embarrassing or even scary. be the change you want to see. start a chain reaction. positivity only breeds more positivity. do an act of kindness for someone so that that person who is too afraid to do it themselves can see you, realize that they’re not alone, and perhaps sheepishly follow your example. and then the next person who is too afraid but sees that person can do the same. when bad news comes out about bad people or horrible atrocities in the world it’s such an easy impulse to despair, and obviously it’s important to feel what you need to feel. grieve. be angry. be sorrowful. be empathetic. but dust off your pants and get up and be a part of a chain reaction that, no matter how small the scale, and spread compassion and love and care. all the reasons why you might not—“it’s hard! it’s scary! people will make fun of me! it’s useless because there’s too much evil!” are all grade A arguments as to why you should. you have no idea how many people you could inspire to do the same. even if it doesn’t get you anyway far, you can at least say you have the nobility of trying. please choose love and please choose life. you are worth loving and you are worth inspiring others to love
