CAN WE PLS GET OLDER BF TOJI HEADCANNONS PLS PRETTY PLS 🙏

(LOVE YOUR WORK BTW!!!)

TYSMM! i hope you like it!😵‍💫

✎...toji is in his late 30s (he lives!) and reader is in her early 20s. megumi is a toddler and he keeps him.

you were the one who chased older bf!toji, you manifested this man. ever since you met him in your apartment gym, you've been trying to get close with him. you started to gym when he went to the gym, asking him for help to carry the weight because you were inexperienced. slowly but surely, you started to develop a relationship with toji, talking to him when it was unrelated to exercise.

older bf!toji who was scared to ask you out on a date. you were so young! he on the other hand, was a widow, a single father and 15+ years older than you. he could've been your father! all these thoughts subsided when he saw you waiting in front of the gym for him. "hi toj-" "date?" he blurted out, leaving you blushing and shocked. "sure toji." that night, he couldn't stop gushing over you to his toddler megumi.

older bf!toji who told you upfront that he was a single father, a widow and looking for a serious relationships on your first date. not wanting to cause any other misunderstandings, he's old, he doesn't have time to play games. he doesn't have the time to fool around, he wants a serious relationship, someone he can lean on, importantly someone who megumi can lean on.

older bf!toji who did not understand why such a youthful person would want him. the stress of his job and raising a child alone has manifested on his appearance. while you, were the epitome of youth in his eyes. the days where you could've been partying in clubs, you spent playing with megumi. he could not wrap his head around your actions.

older bf!toji who barely uses social media. not due to his age, but he's too busy with his life. his only socials are his facebook(good 4 u). you had to teach him how to make an instagram account, and to this day he still doesn't understand how it works. his insta only follows you, with one post, which is also a picture of you.

older bf!toji who's always 'reluctantly' accompanying you, reluctantly watching chick flicks with you, reluctantly accompanying you shopping and holding your shopping bags, reluctantly holding your purse. he's always reluctantly doing stuff, but he ends up doing it anyways. why? cause he loves you. there's a certain joy inside him he hasn't felt since his wife's passing. he secretly enjoys doing girly things with you, just to see the happiness on your face.

older bf!toji who never wants you to feel like megumi is your responsibility. though he wants you to be there for megumi, he doesn't want to burden you with his own struggles.

older bf!toji who stumbles over his feet when he first saw you with megumi. for the first time in his life, he saw megumi like someone from the first meeting. megumi was constantly giggling, smiling ear to ear. without toji realising, his expressions had mirrored his son, like father like son.

older bf!toji who's scared of his future. he's always on the brink of death, with the risky nature of his job. he wants to grow old together, but hesitation takes over him when he realised that in the end, it would just be him growing old.

older bf!toji who has the worst taste in clothing. literally horrendous, when you see his wardrobe, it's just multiples of his tight black shirt, his weird poofy pants and some workout clothes. his other clothing was horrible, some shirts having holes as big as your fist. ever since you've seen that, you've decided to go on a shopping spree for him, along with getting him and megumi some matching clothes.

older bf!toji who hasn't had the time to take care of himself properly. taking care of megumi was such a hassle making him forgot about himself. when you pamper him with skincare nights and face masks, he literally gets addicted. every time you offer to do a face mask or to do his skincare, he dashes to lay his head on your lap. he's still too shy to ask for it, but you can tell how much he likes it. his wrinkles slowly going away with every touch of your hand, as if he's finally let his guard down.

check the dates on the insta posts. the most recent one is 4 days old. before this, they were posting at least once a day since just before the premier. wtf. it feels significant but not in a way i can verbalize properly.

They know they fucked up. Like, they know.

The actors barely promoted the episode. Oliver said he couldn’t post photos because he didn’t have power yet he had enough power to post them as stories (???). The official Instagram has posted nearly daily and then nothing for 4 days. They are usually posting like immediately after the east coast sees the episode with stills or something. Oliver has stopped allowing comments on his posts. I don’t agree with harassing actors, but there’s a difference in harassment and “hey what you said wasn’t cool and I hope you reflect on that”. He’s just mad we weren’t into horny-for-all-sexes buck.

They fucking sent Lou out to do exit interviews, which is really fucked up because he was only in 3 episodes this season. One of which was for like a minute and a half?? I loved hearing from him, but also felt so bad for him because he was surprised too. He just had the decency to not be a dick. The least Oliver and/or Tim could have done was say that Lou did a good job and they’re gonna miss him (even if it’s a lie, fake that shit).

Anyway, yeah, they’re getting bombarded with comments on their latest post on both Instagram and Facebook. And I know a lot of people have written in directly to abc. They lost a lot of loyal viewers. Fuck around and find out, I guess.

Still on my soapbox about how the cancellation of queer shows is tantamount to book bans. While 1 in 4 queer-inclusive shows are cancelled after only one season, the average streaming cancellation rate is only 12% (including shows with more than one season). It's part of the anti-LGBT sentiment sweeping the nation. This isn't a new phenomenon, but its impact is becoming more and more important.

When queer shows are cancelled, it sends the message that our stories are not valuable, are not wanted. It also steals away representation which not only normalizes queer people for straight audiences, but also allows queer people to feel seen and affirmed.

Queer folks still have dire mental health outcomes. It gets worse as more anti-LGBT laws are passed. There are mountains of evidence that representation improves mental health for and cultural attitudes towards queer people.

🌈 If you want to help, you can start by streaming the hell out of queer series on any platform. Get your friends and family in on it. Heartstopper, Dead Boy Detectives, and Our Flag Means Death are a solid place to start.

You can sign DBDA's petition, fill out Netflix's request form with specific queer shows you want renewed (once per day per device), and rate your favorite queer shows and episodes on IMDB. If you're on Twitter, check out the #CanceledByNetflix tag and the account @CancelNetflix. You can tweet at or message your preferred streaming platforms on most social media too (Facebook, Tiktok, Insta, Twitter, Tumblr).

And spread the word :) Our stories deserve to be told.

LOST CAT - PEMBROKE, NC

AND Financial Aid

Hello all,

different post than normal.

My beloved cat, Salem, got scared and slipped her harness February 7th, 2023, at roughly 10:30 pm - 11 pm, in Pembroke, NC.

As of June 12th, Salem is still missing. I have updated her pictures here as well.

I have done every possible thing to locate her: shelter checks, drive-arounds, mail-out cards, posters around town, facebook/insta ads, Snapchat, Apartment emails, door-to-door, ground search, luring, etc. If you can think it then I have done it or tried to do it.

It also means that at this time I am struggling financially. Money is already tight and god forbid cost of living stop going up, especially as I live in the south which seems to be on fire recently with a lot of regressive laws and costs. On top of that, if you recall my truck from September that gave out on me, it has begun to again, sapping most of my money and leaving me high-and-dry.

Financially the world sucks and I need surgery soon most likely - this is not the first one, it is the fourth which is well overdue. Does anyone know Murphy's Law? "Anything that can go wrong will." Yeah, well, Murphy can bite me.

I am in a financial abyss, so any and all help is appreciated. Times are hard for everyone, and god this sucks, but I haven't heard back from the other jobs I have been applying too and there is only so long that you can make it on a single job with rent and bills taking everything except a few dollars a month.

GoFundMe

PayPal (preferred method)

Any and all help is appreciated.

I just want my beanie-baby safe here at home. She is my world, and not having her here is tearing me up. I'm wearing myself thin searching for her.

Which social media would Sherlock Holmes characters have, according to a discussion I had with my friends in the middle of a night a couple days ago. This is ACD Holmes I think but leaning onto Soviet movies somewhat.

(And yes I'm aware telegram isn't popular outside of russian-speaking internet but just let it be part of the joke i guess)

Holmes: a lot of fake accounts on every website ever, but the only place that he actually posts on for himself is his telegram channel about tobacco varieties that has almost no followers. When Watson learned that Holmes has telegram, he was pissed because he thought Holmes is there to buy drugs.

Watson: he's a really popular ao3 writer. Also has a tumblr blog and an insta where he posts pictures of food, pictures of Holmes and sometimes his drawings (which he photographs with a lot of random stuff in the background for "aesthetics"). He also created a number of "official" Sherlock Holmes accounts without telling Holmes and makes all the posts there himself.

Mrs Hudson: facebook, where she posts recipes, household advices and stuff like that, and occasionally grumbles about Holmes and Watson. Also whenever they do something that really pisses her off, she would list the flat for rent, but always take it down shortly.

Moriarty: tumblr where he mostly posts about maths and a personal website to advertise as a private math tutor. Also a private telegram channel that Holmes somehow managed to follow from a fake acc.

Lestrade: EVERY social media ever. Most notably, twitter, where he always gets in fights (especially with Holmes's fake accs). He also set up an official Scotland Yard tiktok where he just makes really bad edits of policemen just walking somewhere with some music and lots of filters on.

Irene Adler: Instagram. Also onlyfans where she posts really rarely and she's always fully clothed, but she still has like thousands on thousands of followers there.

Mycroft: an official twitter that he hired someone to manage. Also facebook.

Mary Morstan: She doesn't actually exist, it's just one of Holmes's fake Instagram accs where he posted pictures of "Watson's wedding" to escape rumours.

Sir Henry Baskerville: onlyfans with only one subscriber whose username is infusoria666. Everyone but sir Henry himself knows it's Dr. Mortimer. Also Dr. Mortimer tried to set up a travel blog for him but ended up having to post there by himself.

Dr. Mortimer: tumblr blog full of skulls and also a youtube channel. He's also one of the few people who follow Holmes's tobacco telegram, and probably its biggest fan. When they met, he mentioned his youtube channel a lot, hoping that Holmes will ask for a link, but he just ignored even the most obvious hints.

Also:

Baker Street irregulars all have tiktok. They force Watson to watch skibidi toilets.

Lestrade writes with a lot of errors and uses emojis excessively.

Moriarty writes immaculately with all the capital letters and punctuation and periods in the end of every sentence. Holmes does the same but with no capital letters.

Holmes followed Irene Adler from one of his female fake accs. She in turn followed his tobacco channel from a male acc, and commented under one of his posts recommending him to follow a blog on autism.

Once Watson posted a photo of his lunch on his insta and after that a photo of Holmes with a caption "desert :)" and refused to delete it.

Holmes made a youtube channel about beekeeping when he retired.

I noticed last night you posted a lot of art by HR Geiger but I didn’t see an artist credit on any of them. Do you often post art without crediting the artist?

HR Geiger is a big name and everyone knows his work (he designed the xenomorph and sets of Alien and Aliens), but you should still credit him to keep in the habit of crediting artists. There are a lot of small time, niche, and obscure sci-fi artists that no one would know about unless art blogs like this that expose people to art they might not see otherwise credit them properly.

Good question! I originally had the credit, and it was eaten because of an issue with the auto-posting setup I use. I use a service that auto-posts to Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram but not Tumblr, so I have an IFTTT app set up to post from Facebook to Tumblr. This setup is the only way to get alt text on FB/twitter/Insta, but there's one catch. Every multi-image post on Facebook gets ported over as multiple posts on Tumblr, and the caption for all of them doesn't carry over.

I've been trying to edit in the captions (which I just did for those HR Giger pics), but sometimes I'll miss it for a while. I really like the setup on the whole, so I don't want to change it, but I'll probably cut down on multi-image posts after I'm done promoting my art book preorders in another month. I might experiment with similar IFTTT apps that might be better.

In retrospect this helps explain why people were asking me if I could credit artists more a week or two back! Anyway, tell all your alt-text-needers to follow me on Twitter or Facebook.

[supergraphicultramoderngirl]

i met a cute guy yesterday and i tried to find his insta today so i could try to follow him (and also lowkey check if he’s single bc i still don’t know him super well) (this wouldn’t be that weird bc we have similar social circles) but he DOESN’T HAVE ONE. THE ONLY THING I COULD FIND WAS HIS FACEBOOK WITH ONE (1) PICTURE. which like ok technically green flag but unhelpful for me personally rn.

[gossipgirloff1]

so lance gossip???

lance himself is more of a reserved person however his friends are not. there have been multiple claims that lance’s friends use him for fame and attention like “oh hey i’m friends with lance!” his only close friends (which he literally said himself) are stephen and henry (who both are apart of his race team)

relationship wise it’s a bit; lance allegedly dated a lot of older women when he was around the ages of 16-19 and more notably dated sara, an italian model who is 3-5 years older than lance. towards the end of their relationship, they were on-off and had a bunch of cheating rumours (both of them allegedly cheated on each other, specifically sara and neymar). after they broke up, a jewelry store that lance gifted sara shut down and she wrote a song called “deja vu” which implies it’s about him. they still follow each other. from what i heard, she was constantly seeking his attention throughout the relationship. even when his own grandfather passed away and was “distant” from her, she took the opportunity to post shady things on insta (captions, quotes, etc).

dian schwartz is another woman he was with. she’s an israeli reality star most famous for being in israel’s big brother. everyone in israel allegedly hates her. no clue if they two actually dated because dian claims they dated while other people who are allegedly close to lance claim that he needed a wedding date (which to me was fucking weird of him to do). regardless, dian leaked pictures of her and lance after chloe’s wedding (dian follows the photographer who took them and the gossip page who posted it) and then he ghosted her after. she became really petty, screen recorded herself muting aston martin on threads, hooking up with men who look like lance in israel, etc. lance doesn’t follow her anymore but she’s a zionist psychopath who wanted to be a wag so badly. she also used lance to get to fashion week in london.

now marilou, she’s a mean girl and a zionist (literally if you search up marilou zionist on twitter/x, a thread will appear). her family is messy. her dad makes 9/11 jokes, islamophobia and her mom is VERY obsessed with lance on facebook. marilou works for a ton of zionist companies more notably ardene who is owned by a man who owns a orthodox synagogue and has a zionist rabbi who spreads his zionist propaganda?? marilou and her friends and family attend this synagogue. she also blocks and deletes comments even though it’s well known that she’s a zionist. she’s also mocked tons of fans at grand prix and made fun of one fan’s weight. she’s constantly trying to get attention and change her image but is shot down bc it’s brought up that she’s not a good person. there’s allegedly a rumour that she cheated on lance in miami but i know nothing abt that. but she’s constantly bringing her friends around grand prix, i’ve lowk never seen her and lance by themselves. it’s either his friends are around or her friends. but she’s a big scabber. thats probably why she’s dated like 3-5 guys within a year. rumour is she has another guy lined up 🤷‍♀️

Thank you for the info anon ❤️

Wow that is so many problematic people why are you hanging out with them Lance 🤦‍♀️

And thank you again for this long ask I have been needing a gossip lately 🫶🏻

Falling In Reverse live in Orlando/FL, 2/26/2024

The night Ronnie Radke had blown up the internet with deactivating his social accounts Falling In Reverse played at Kia Center, Orlando/Florida, Feb 26th, 2024. It was a mindblowing show.

Via TikTok

Some hours before the concert, and still having his socials active Ronnie posted these two pictures below on his new Instagram. Interesting not only because they both look gorgeous with Saraya, but bc this was the outfit he wore on the stage that night. These tight pants, even tho they were leather this time, reminded of the good old 2011-12 days' glam rock style of his.

Via Ronnie Radke's new Insta account

This time there was a flood of pictures and videos, the only struggle was to find them, after all the social account had gone.

Via Instagram

A few videos from the first round of YT posting.

Via Instagram

The best pictures are which show his outfit this time. Top notch excellent 👌

Via Facebook

Via Twitter

Ronnie could manage to share the crowd selfie picture just a few moments before deactivating his twitter. It was such a sad moment!! He was into tweeting that night and all of a sudden his account was gone. For a moment we all thought that he got banned from the app.

Via Ronnie Radke's Twitter account

Falling In Reverse is having now a 3 days break before they will be playing again. Next venue will be Austin, Texas, at the Moody Center on Feb 29th, 2024. Until then I doubt new music will come, but some interesting things will definitely happen to keep us triggered and teased.

Hello, Jennifer!

I noticed that you left twitter at what seemed like just the right time. How are you feeling about the recent chatter about new social media for artists, etc, like Cara and Bluesky? Meta’s m.o. makes me mad, but I don’t know if it’s useful to run around to other platforms. Any thoughts you have on this are appreciated. Thanks!

Hi. I didn't OFFICIALLY leave twitter, like, I didn't erase my account or anything, because I feel bad deleting 15 years worth of jokes and conversations, and also a lot of clients and such are still on there so I want to be able to log in if I have to. But I just dip in to see if there's anything important and probably spend about... a minute a month on there, as opposed to MY LIFE which is what I used to do!

And yes, the Meta thing (they have announced that they WILL be scraping content for AI) is awful -- but at the same time, I'm quite certain that other entities were ALREADY scraping that content for AI, so hey, maybe at least it's kind of good that they are being transparent about it? IDK IDK.

BlueSky seems nicer, for sure, and I think the KidLit community there is growing. It seems more "boring" too -- because it's not full of outrage farmers riling people up and fighting for no reason and algorithms pushing that kind of content, which ultimately, is a good and refreshing thing, but does mean that I, personally, have to be a little more diligent about REMEMBERING TO ACTUALLY LOG IN and post. I think it will be more lively when more people get on there and use it consistently -- which is happening! I think!

Threads also has an OK number of people -- but of course, it's owned by Meta, so... blah.

Cara I think is good for illustrators particularly -- as far as I can tell, it's really catered to sharing artwork/portfolios, less geared toward conversation/discourse, etc. Which is great! However, that is less useful for ME, so I can't really imagine I'll use that.

FOR THE MOMENT, I personally am sticking with: Facebook just to keep up with real life friends and family, mostly friends-locked, not posting artwork etc. BlueSky as a "twitter lite" replacement, for conversations, etc. Insta, to share dog and flower pictures and re-post client stuff in my stories -- but if I were sharing artwork I'd certainly use Glaze to keep it from being scraped by AI. (With a slight toe in Twitter and Threads just in case!).

If I were an ARTIST, I'd probably do BlueSky for a twitterlite replacement, Insta but only with Glaze on artwork, Cara if it seems useful to you.

Of course -- all this is liable to change as times change. Like, I never even HEARD of Cara a week ago, so... who knows what will happen NEXT week?

[dreamwreaver]

I agree with everything you said in your response to that ask. It's obvious Chaggie wasn't something she was always going for. What confuses me is her mindset of, well now that it's canon, I don't have to put in any work for this ship. Excuse me? What? Has Viv never shipped before. That's not how canon works. You have to make ppl care about the ship and she or the writers haven't done that. How is Chaggie good enough to become canon because of some fanart but not good enough for you to flesh out their relationship for ppl to care about? That's dumb as hell. For all that, she should've had them stay platonic. I'm not even a Chaggie shipper but the fact that the creator of this ship doesn't even care about them is disgusting. Nobody told her to make them happen. She did that herself.

Let's be honest, she's likely been on the internet long enough to know what shipping is, explaining her more cavalier attitude on fans shipping which used to be the norm. Her "ship what you want but don't be a dick to other people" attitude is precisely what old fandom used to be like before the influx of what I can only describe as normies decided they wanted to be a part of fandom.

See, the thing about the old internet (and by that I mean before the rise of mainstream social media platforms like Facebook, insta, Twitter, etc.) the internet by and large was by nerds for nerds. We kept the shit we liked online to ourselves irl and we definitely didn't talk directly to creators because it was understood that there was an invisible line we knew not to cross. You didn't harass actors or writers trying to get what you want. But the rise of mainstream meant the rise of accessibility to creators, and the trolls morphed into something much worse.

Look up the fiasco with Alex Brightman during the height of Beetlejuice on Broadway. The poor man was stalked, harassed, and asked over and over again if he condoned Beetlebabes, a ship which had kept that fandom alive for well over 30 years. Until he eventually released a statement so carefully combed over by PR experts only the people who lack media literacy took it at face value. It didn't reflect any previous attitudes he had on anything, and moreover it doesn't align with his current views considering the projects he's actively working on. In reality I don't think the man really gives a shit what people ship he was just sick of the harassment and likely worried that public outcries of him being a pedophile because of a fictional ship because he didn't actively condemn it and call for the harassment of people who did like it would ruin his career.

I have several friends who have come to hazbin from Beetlejuice, and many of them have met him pre pandemic. All of them say he's a lovely and sweet man with a good sense of humor. But imagine going through all he went through for over a year. Viv, and I hate to say it, went through something similar. I was pissed to find out toxic charlastor shippers on Twitter were harassing her to make it canon. So if that ship squicks her out now? I honestly don't blame her. Things are even more sticky with wlw or any gay relationships where you legitimately aren't allowed to portray them as complex or problematic. One thing I've noticed in particular is that male and straight ships are allowed to be as grossly sexualized as anything but women (or femme identified characters) cannot.

Look at all the chaggie art, not a single sexual thing. Even their official pinup stuff is fairly tame. Look at the Vees, despite the fact that velvette is an adult woman who died and is dating... Valentino I think? All the fandom sees is two gay dads and their uwu not sexually active daughter. Same with radioapple come to think of it, Charlie becomes a fully non sexual, almost Madonna figure in relation to the overt sexual nature of the gay ships. I'm guessing some of that still internalized homophobia and kink phobia coupled with sexist attitudes of what women can and cannot be interested in. Lesbian ships cannot be interested in sex, they must be pure and good. Meanwhile there's no end to overtly sexual art of the gay ships across the hellaverse. And the fans get rabid when any female ship isn't innately good and pure.

Another real world example; people flipped their shit when catradora became explicitly canon at the end of the she ra reboot. Because catra had gone through a corruption arc before a redemption one and therefore was forever culpable for the crimes she committed when in an obvious downward mental spiral after a life raised under an abusive mother figure and being abandoned by the person closest to her, and the major brainwashing of the Horde, but we don't have time to unpack all that. Ironic that in a show all about second chances and becoming better than the person you were these attitudes are still pervasive and ugly huh?

To a certain extent I think Viv has been on the internet long enough that she's seen what happens to creators who don't "perfectly" encapsulate a gay romance. Which means that it's unique while also being applicable to everyone. Totally an achievable standard right? (Insert sarcastic eye roll here). For her, I think making chaggie as boring in canon as possible was probably the safest move she could think of. I will critique it from a writing standpoint but overall it was the smartest choice to avoid backlash. I still prefer Vaggie/Emily and charlastor because it's two vastly most interesting dynamics, but I get why the writers might have been wary.

Sorry for the rant but unfortunately the depiction of chaggie wasn't created solely in a vacuum and there's a lot of cross fandom history context that needed to be brought up to explain why chaggie is the animated tofu of hazbin hotel ships.

[ourimpavidheroine]

You've said you don't do modern AUs but if you did, who would have social media? And what kind?

That's true, I usually don't. But you know what? Why the fuck not!

Of the original generation, I think Su Beifong is the ultimate Facebook Grandma. Where she is the queen of humble bragging, FOR SURE. I don't think Baatar Sr would be into social media much at all - just not really his thing. I think Pema might also have FB, where she would post sweet updates and occasional Boomer memes and DM her family. Lin would not be caught dead on social media and refuses to look at anybody else's posts. LoLo would probably belong to the same private FB group as Bumi II and Iroh II. It's probably called something rude like SEAMEN 4 U or something. Where they reminisce over past exploits and compare fire whiskey or something. Post stupid Navy memes. I think both Izumi and Kya would be on FB, but they'd be private accounts and only for the sake of seeing family pictures and sending DMs to the rest of their generation.

Tenzin would probably have official Air Nation social media with lots of useful information. Which would actually be overseen by Jinora, of course. I think poor Tenzin would be confused by social media. And avoid it as much as possible. Jinora would probably do most of the posting and all of the accounts would be very well done.

Asami doesn't have time for social media; she has a PR firm that does Future Industries social media for her. Korra probably has both Twitter (I refuse to call it you know what) and TikTok, where she is the ultimate Gen X poster, and quite popular with all age ranges. There's air guitar. There's showy displays of bending. There's hilarious interviews with spirits. Every once in awhile she gets serious, as well. She's very popular because she's the Avatar. She's pretty busy, so she's not a daily poster by any means, but is still well liked. She has matured enough that she just blocks trolls instead of debating them.

Wu has FB, Instagram, Twitter - all of which are connected and basically post the same thing. Nothing live because the man would not be caught dead without anything wholly and completely curated and photoshopped. While he does write most of his posts and takes some photos, his posts are curated by his PR firm before being published and are meant to represent the Hou-Ting family as a whole. The Pool of Golden Blooms does have social media, but it's done by his publisher. Wu does have a private FB account so he can keep up with friends and family, however.

Mako would have Whatsapp so he could get in touch with folks but that would be about it. He'll gamely watch whatever memes anyone else shows him, though. He's often included in Wu's posts and he's okay with it. As long as he isn't required to actually keep up with it.

Qi would have Insta only; no candid shots, but something incredibly stylish and cool. Fashionista account, for sure. Followed by thousands and thousands. Never responds to anyone. Please. As if they would. Scorpio.

Bolin is the KING of social media. One of those celebrity actor accounts that everyone loves. He'd be like the Mark Hamill of Avatar Social Media. Or the Neil Gaiman. He'd respond as much as he could.

Opal would be the Georgia Tennant of Twitter and Instagram. Enough said.

Nuo would have FB and Instagram. She would not post all that much, but she'd keep up with what everyone else was doing. However, she and Wu would Facetime daily. There is official Zaofu social media but that's done by the PR team.

Wing would mostly post stuff about his garden. Wei would mostly post stuff about his pro-bending. Neither of them is very regular. They are both pretty busy with their lives and are more outdoorsy dudes anyhow.

Ikki mostly does live blogging, and she's fairly popular. Sometimes Baatar Jr is in it by accident and he is HIGHLY CRANKY about it, which Ikki thinks is hilarious. Most people think he's doing it as part of a long-running joke but no. He's legit crabby. He thinks social media is the downfall of civilization and refuses to use it. (When it is pointed out to him that his Aunt thinks the same he gets real fucking pissy.)

Huan does Twitter and Insta, but only about his art. He doesn't interact.

Meelo does regular live blogging like his sister, mostly about the Southern Air Temple as well as the school for the Deaf they have there. I would imagine he would do some sort of YouTube channel to learn Sign Language. (I have a lot of headcanons about Meelo eventually coming into his own and being an amazing teacher.)

Rohan? Too busy for social media, probably, although if Jinora asked him to do something specific for Air Nation social media he would gladly help out.

Hou-Ting kids? Naoki would do occasional Instagram posts, probably. It would focus a lot on her bending/her students' bending. She wouldn't do anything with regards to the Fire Nation court - that would be done by the official Fire Nation Royal accounts. Hemadri, on the other hand, would have a very popular Twitter account. People think it's Naoki doing it, but it's actually Lady Uma, which is something only Juziya, Naoki, and Sozui know. Juziya and Sozui would be covered by the official Fire Nation Royal accounts as well.

Zhi along with San would do popular desert, bug and geology videos/blogs across social media. They'd be like the Avatar version of Shane and Ryan with some Bear Grylls thrown in. Great rapport and really fun videos that actually teach people things. Ping and Amak sometimes show up. There are many calls in the comments for Ping to take his shirt off. Ping is mortified.

Meili would not do social media often but when she did it would be about her clinic and/or charity work, never anything personal. Meili is a very private person. Tupilek would keep up social media for Bridge Clinic, and would have a private FB account to keep in touch with his family down south.

Sayuri wouldn't do social media, except for her wholly anonymous and totally secret Tumblr account, which would be full of weird fandom stuff. She'd have the shoelaces, okay?

Zu also has a private Tumblr account, also full of weird fandom stuff. Neither of them know the other one has one. When they eventually find out, they will think it is H I L A R I O U S. They still won't follow each other, however, because they both understand the importance of having their own thing to themselves.

Orchid would be a social media QUEEN. Mommy blogger. Business woman blogger. Come see gorgeous Zaofu blogger. Beauty tips blogger. Sponsored blogger. Absolutely. Iris? No time, could not care less. Rose? Oh god no. She'd have a sophisticated website for her jewelry business but it would be done professionally, she'd have nothing to do with it. Poppy? Twitter. Where she would be known for being just savage to people who pissed her off. As would Jai, who would offend people on the regular. God help you if you attempted to troll one of them, because the other would come gunning for you.

Bu would probably blog every once in awhile, but not consistently. Pearl? No. She's as much offline as she can be.

Goba has a popular YouTube channel where he teaches Airbending meditation techniques and body strengthening exercises that anybody can use.

Katara II would have a YouTube channel about archival techniques, as well as Airbending history - which are mostly voiceovers, since she's not comfortable in front of the camera. She'd be well-known and appreciated, but more among the academic crowd. Tseten would enjoy social media, but wouldn't be consistent. A month of daily blogging and then six months of nothing while he'd be neck deep into his art.

Bhuti has one of the most popular travel blogs in the world. She'd be one of those people who would have an entire TikTok channel of her dancing with various people all over, that kind of thing. She's fun, she's engaging, she goes everywhere. Ever wanted to hear an air bison fart? Bhuti's got you covered. People love her, and she does lots of fun and spontaneous interviews as she travels as well.

since i saw you have so many zuck post and i'm a little bit invest in it like you so i want to ask some question about threads since i don't want to have another social media because i have so much now

1. does moskovitz actually interact with zuck there? i saw them following each other

2. does saverin made an account and followed zuck?? since i don't know if that is his real account, tbh if he actually followed zuck, became one of the new users on threads i'd be surprised because i thought he already didn't care much about either fb or meta in general

also I saw zuck posting tsn reference there for threads and commenting gif of tsn too

sorry for my sloppy english, hope you reply

Hi anon! Thank you for your ask!

What I need everyone on Tumblr to know is that Mark is basically trying to reinvent himself. He's been the butt of a lot of jokes for about a decade now, and this bout with Elon, and Elon's fumbling of Twitter, has presented a prime opportunity for Mark to reboot his public image. This means he's responding to people's posts on Threads, making jokes, and yes, referencing The Social Network.

Now to your questions:

Yes! Dustin and Mark are actually still really close. Dustin's mentioned going on vacation with Mark fairly regularly (for whatever that means for them). Dustin had access to the pre-release launch of Threads and was user # 3037 (as indicated on his Instagram account), and he generally talks about Mark a lot, mostly to defend him/hype him up. He's been talking about Mark a lot lately, because of the drama with Musk and with the launch of Threads, but Mark has been pretty consistently mentioned in his Twitter posts, going back for years. Dustin seems to be particularly excited about Threads, probably because he feels let down by Twitter and the promise of Bluesky, and also because Dustin still owns a 0.6% stake in Meta, which is worth something like $5 billion. Dustin as well as other early Facebook employees have expressed a feeling of nostalgia and excitement akin to the early days of the company, both from the product development side as well as from the consumer side. Anyway, it seems that Dustin's penchant for micro-blogging and Mark's role to promote Meta's new app have combined and allowed them to publicly communicate for the first time in at least a decade. It has been, honestly, delightful to watch. See the bottom of the post for screenshots of their interactions.

Judging by the Instagram account linked to the Threads account, Saverin really is following Mark. (I judged whether or not the Insta account was real by scrolling through who he follows: some weather accounts, someone with the last name that's the same as his wife, someone who's either a sister or cousin, Fox News. These interests correspond with the types of accounts he follows on Twitter; it's most likely really him.) I agree, it is kinda of insane that Saverin joined so early; it's possible he sold the rest of his shares because B Capital got a big infusion of money at the end of 2022, which corresponds with the fund they raised earlier this year. It's also possible he converted his shares from Class A to Class B, but this move still loses him power. He doesn't really have any incentive to be interested in Meta, not anymore. And yet, Saverin was just under the 2 millionth member to join Threads (1,920,187). Taking into account that 30 million people(/brands) joined Threads in the first day, Saverin was an early adopter. At the same time however, in addition to likely not having any financial interest in the company, Saverin doesn't post very often on Twitter (most of which are reposts of articles) and has only ever posted to Instagram twice, and not since 2014 at that. It's interesting to me that he apparently cares so much to be on Threads so early since he doesn't seem to be that fond of micro-blogging or Instagram anyway. At the least, he is a private person, more private than even Mark has ever been, and he is likely on Threads to lurk rather than to post. Which brings me to the point that Saverin is following Mark. He's also following a number of influential Meta people, including important early employees (none of them follow him back). Combined with the fact that Saverin consistently puts "Facebook co-founder" at the top of all of his bios, regardless of his current projects and investments, this paints an image of a petty man who wants to be relevant. It may be interesting that Saverin follows Mark, but don't expect anything to come of it. Saverin lost his chance to make any amends with Mark and anyone else a long time ago.

Bonus: Mark posting a TSN gif? For some reason?? Even though the post he was replying to didn't even mention TSN? (it's a screenshot of the gif of the moment when Eduardo gives Mark the money to go to Palo Alto for the summer while they're hiring interns)

I deleted my bookish insta and I can't log into my personal one, which I don't really use anyways.

Deleted facebook months ago.

Deleted TikTok from my phone. Account still there.

I have a Twitter account but I only use it on my laptop and I only read news about new books and Taylor/Lana on it (nothing political). So I am fine.

Keeping Tumblr because this feels like a community. Loads of love.

Looks like the death of my former co-worker hit me much harder than I thought. While we were still working together we never really spoke much (I’m a shy introvert, I never talk much), he somehow treated me different like other people and I really liked his sense of humour which remembered me of my favourite ex. I was often the only one in the room who was laughing about his jokes since the most didn’t understand how it was meant. I thought of him from time to time but we never were in contact over Facebook or Insta, we just liked each others posts, sometimes even comment but that’s all. I never let him know that I liked him and now I really regret it. I had an appoinment in the city today and while I had a lot of time till my train home I took a walk over the cemetery like I always do when I have enough time. There are so many beautiful old graves and I really like it there. I also know that he also often took a walk there since he also often posted photos of it on his Insta. Today it was raining a lot but I sat down on a bench at a small pond with four ducks, had my headphones in my ears and started crying. Damn, I really wished I had been brave enough to contact him when I still had the chance, maybe even let him know that I liked him a lot- now it’s too late and the “what if” will remain in my head knowing that I can’t change it anymore. I really thought that my feelings for him were long gone, esp. since we didn’t saw eachother anymore on a daily basis- but maybe I was wrong.
