Ok tumblrinas you got me. I’m reading the goddamn locked tomb. I’m reading fucking Gideon the Ninth. After years of not understanding the posts about it on my dash. So I guess I’ll react to it or WHATEVER.

So. Is this both a reference to the “while you [x] I studied the blade” meme and like…maybe also One Piece??

Hey guys! you might know me from my blog @lovely-v, which got randomly deleted directly after I jokingly made a post about the tiktok ban (??). As of right now, none of my stuff is there! my whole previous blog is gone. I have contacted tumblr support about it, so hopefully I can get it back soon.

Ive never used tiktok a lot but I do have the app downloaded because I liked to use it to edit videos for instagram + it was convenient for watching the tiktoks other people sent me.

Today I opened the app out of curiosity, since I know the ban has taken effect. I wondered if it just wouldn’t open or if I would see the same message other people have been getting about the servers being unavailable in the United States.

However, strangely, TikTok opened and allowed me to watch ONE video, in which two guys simply dance and lipsync to Sorry For Party Rocking by LMFAO.

Oh, I thought, it’s still letting me watch videos. But wait. I couldn’t scroll. It was just Sorry For Party Rocking. The only tiktok left. Like LMFAO in the early 2000s, TikTok itself was earnestly apologizing. For Party Rocking.

Then I got the message that locked me out permanently and this is the only evidence I have

A Quiet Place is not my favorite horror franchise but Day One has captured me immediately by introducing a character I desperately need to survive - the main character’s service cat who is named Frodo

I genuinely think Philomena Cunk interview questions are academically valuable in that 1. They force experts to consider ridiculous scenarios they never would have thought of having to deal with and 2. They test the ability of academics to explain their fields to laypeople and challenge the idea that “everybody knows xyz.” I think part of all higher level degree programs should involve having to get interviewed by Philomena Cunk

Me before completing the forest temple: okay I get that ocarina of time is fun and nostalgic for people but it’s a bit of a stretch to call it one of the greatest video games of all time

Me after completing the forest temple: By revealing that Link is not a Kokiri, but a Hylian, the game effectively strips him of his humble origins amongst a group of people that already fail to recognize him in his adult form. Thus, kokiri village instantly becomes a location that is no longer Link’s home in any sense, exacerbated by the fact that the game now loads up in the temple of time instead of Link’s bedroom— he is a stranger in the only place that has ever been familiar to him and he is depressingly reduced to his destiny alone. However, the subsequent introduction of the time travel mechanic, which allows the player to travel from the horrific apocalyptic future back to the idyllic past of Link’s childhood, gives new meaning to the idea of this “destiny”. In effect, Link is not a stock “chosen one”, but a protagonist who consciously decides to fight onwards. Link’s dual existence as a child who knows the grim future and as an adult who was powerless to stop disaster gives a sort of desperation to his character, because while it brings the player relief to revisit the Castle Town that is populated by cheerful villagers instead of lurking zombies, the story can only be progressed through the acknowledgement of reality — the decision to make those seven years pass again. Therefore, both the player and Link as a character must be proactive in their heroism and make the conscious choice to struggle onwards despite the darkness that permeates—

echoes of wisdom is so cutesy in style so it's hilarious that in the intro sequence they're like okay the premise is if you don't learn how to jump on this table you're going to be executed for treason

HUGE news

Ok Goncharov was actually insane. I’m reading the Wikipedia page even though I was there at its inception and I still can’t believe Scorsese straight up admitted to “making” it. Like it got old fast but it was truly tumblr’s greatest creation and I am so proud to have witnessed history. We’ll never top that one.
