nah but it only gives you like ten or twenty posts, i'm so disappointed
(also it'll only show blogs that you follow that were posting at the time - if you don't see anything, you're not following anybody who was posting back in 2012 or whenever)
the resson i'm disappointed because before tumblr pulled their url fuckery a few years ago, you could click on an old original post and it would take you back to when that post was actually made on that blog - and you could just keep scrolling their blog? possibly years in the past?
if you clicked on one of your own posts, you could basically go back into the past of your own tumblr, and you could scroll and never run out of posts or get that "see other posts like this" dead end
i miss it so much
dash is dead im teleporting to the past

#i've reblogged a lot of good shit in my years here#and every time i end up poking around in the 'past' on here i always find things i want to reblog again today#these days you gotta go in your tag search or your archive#SET UP YOUR BLOG ON A DESKTOP KIDS!#GET A CUSTOM THEME SO YOU HAVE ACCESS TO YOUR ARCHIVE AND MASS POST EDITOR#your tumblr ARCHIVE is the very best thing to have and they cruelly stopped making them automatic for mobile users#it's not the same as a time travel dash if you don't reblog or post much#but if you do/did it's hours of fun reminiscing

every day with salmon weather for the past few months, my dad has miraculously "found" fresh salmon for us to have for dinner. should i ask him where he's getting it from
#personal #i know the answer. i just need the verbal confirmation

Whoops, looks like this post doesn't exist!

shoutout to the guy (who i think might be in our shadows?) that goes fishing during every salmon game. you should see if you can get anything from the floods
#if he's a shadows guy it's extra funny because he's gotta come up from new jersey #all the shadows share an apartment there #charla said she thought she knew him but every time she tries to get into the stands to talk to him he just disappears lmfao #i get it king. i really do

Hello would you like a lot of Katie McGrath for the price of less Katie McGrath? Of course. But let me sell it to you anyway:
I've been having a miserable year and I'm about to have to refinance my credit card bill, which goes at about a 300% yearly interest rate.
Last year, right after one of my cats had passed from FeLV-related complications, another one of my cats was diagnosed with cancer and after a lengthy battle had to be euthanised in January. A couple months later my grandmother, who raised me for half my life, caught dengue fever during one of the worst epidemics in recent history in Brazil, and passed away after a coma. I caught it myself a week after her funeral, a particularly nasty hemorrhagic strain that minced my immune system. I caught covid, for the first time ever, right after. I had barely began to recover physically a couple months ago and my check-up returned 2nd degree AV blocks in my ECG, which I need to follow up with a specialist, and I've got RSI in my dominant wrist and a significant loss of cervical lordosis, which has been causing me migraines, pain and numbness and I need physiotherapy for. And then, last month, my 14 year old dog was also diagnosed with terminal cancer and is in palliative care.
Physical and psychological exhaustion snowballed, it's been really hard to work, then it got harder with generative AI, and I've been drowning in vet bills, doctors, labs, meds bills.
Fortunately (¿) my currency is devalued 5:1 to the dollar, 7:1 to the pound, and 6:1 to the euro, so if just 15 people up there buy this bundle it will be enough to save me from financial ruin this year.
So if you can't afford it, please reblog so it finds those who can.
This is nearly every art of Katie McGrath I've done since 2012, a couple which aren't posted and you'll only find here, variations also exclusive to this bundle, sketches, linearts, old versions, pretty much everything I got.
Available on Gumroad and Ko-fi.
Check out some of the included art here.
And if you're wondering who the everloving even is that, I've got other art you might like, or if you just wanna throw some change my way you can tip me on Ko-fi.
Like the Katie bundle, these art bundles come with high-res files you can print as you wish, plus everything else I have of them, sketches, process gifs, WIPs, unpublished, exclusive variations, old versions.
I try to give you the best bang for your buck :]
You can also get physical prints directly from inprnt.
◎ Site ◎ Linktree ◎ Gumroad ◎ Ko-fi ◎ INPRNT
Here's some more art you'll find on my stores, and thank you for reblogging! 🫀🗡️

the Democrats lost and their answer was to blame minorities and trans people. what world are you living in where they move to the left or listen to anything you have to say? this is all completely delusional. they're in the process of selling out minorities and queer people and you're suggesting that we unconditionally vote for them with no questions asked in 4 years.
maybe spend the next 4 years trying to build something better for yourself and your community, even if it's starting locally, rather than dooming yourself to the same exact fate 4 years from now. maybe try to push the Democratic party to embrace the working class and to stand up to corporate interests.
also, just so you're aware because something tells me you weren't old enough to actually remember what happened in 2016: Hillary lost for the same reasons that Kamala did. she was seen as a historically unpopular neoconservative warhawk who alienated her base, including progressives, failed to actually serve to the working class voters in Wisconsin and Michigan and lost the election because of it.
liberals always want to point toward a "glorious revolution" when literally all i am suggesting is that the Democratic party show an initiative to adopt progressive economic policies while maintaining their support for human rights and social justice.
meanwhile, they are actively in the news saying "we gotta get more transphobic and more racist" and you people are still screaming "THEY'RE OUR BEST CHOICE! THEY'RE GONNA GET BETTER AFTER THEY WIN! I SWEAR" while failing to realize they're in the process of alienating everyone they need to win.
you are a childish fool if you think that the Democrats are even pretending to listen at this point. activists have been trying to get any movement on Gaza for over a year and they've been told to eat shit and die. insiders within Kamala's own campaign were begging her to stop campaigning with Liz fucking Cheney and they were told to fuck off.
why do you think anything is going to change if you tell the Democrats "don't worry, no matter what you do, my vote is yours. nothing you do, no one you abandon, no one you let die will cause me to abandon you." what motive do they have to do anything but move further and further to the right???????????
i am so sick of this shit. stop reblogging my posts with this pie in the sky view of the Democratic party like they're going to save you. they're in the process of pushing your head under water and you're too fucking stupid to realize you're drowning.
is this fucking SATIRE??????????????????????

🛑🚨‼️ATTENTION PLEASE, JUST A QUICK READ‼️🚨🛑
hi im angie (she/they)! im a lesbian from the philippines. i’ve been a part of so many fandoms but im usually a silent like-r, reblogger, and supporter. i also make art at my sideblog, @angiedoesthingss. but now, im truly desperate and is currently asking for your help.
yesterday, after years of abuse from our narcissistic, homophobic grandma, i finally fought back and did my best to protect my mother and sister. it was a disaster and my grandma threatened us to leave her house (long story short, we live under her roof). i’ve always planned to move, but now, i need to bring my family to safety as soon as possible too.
we need to move for our safety and happiness by the first quarter of 2025. we’re planning to move back to our childhood home that we’ve currently put up for rent (the current renter is leaving soon - no worries). im planning to bring along my mom, my sister, our two cats and dog with me.
the thing is, im worried we wont be able to move because our funds have been so low. recently, i lost my main job because my boss was a creep. i only have a part time job now that only pays me $170 a month which is barely enough for me, much less my family. my sister just graduated college so she doesn’t have a job yet and my mom can’t get a job because it stresses and tires her out (she also deals with mental health problems - a result of this unstable environment).
my goal is to at least reach $500 to ensure that we’ll have enough money for the move and to sustain us for the next couple of months while we adjust to this new environment and heal. i would be so grateful and would appreciate any amount you can give for me and my family.
it’s truly crazy how things can just change from one day to the next. a day before that altercation, i was cooking cordon bleu with my girlfriend at their house, watching arcane s2 act 1 - literally in lesbian bliss. and now im on a mission to save me and my family, to give all of us the freedom and life we deserve.
thank you for reading so far! and thank you so much for donating! im thankful too for any likes or reblogs you can give me to spread my little post. im hoping it will reach so many of you. i really hope we get to accomplish this goal.
i’ll be sure to keep updating this post as we reach certain milestones, maybe even reblogging with pictures of our pets! if youre from the philippines as well and would like to help, you can pm me and i’ll send you my GCASH information! again, thank you so much, i cant thank you, reader, enough!
(please click the photo for the link 🥹 if that doesnt work click here! thank you so much)
#im gonna tag my fandoms new and old to get more reach#dimension 20#d20#dropout#arcane#caitvi#jayvik#house of the dragon#hotd#interview with the vampire#iwtv#anne with an e#awae#our flag means death#ofmd#atla#steven universe#l&co#lockwood & co#toh#the owl house#jatp#julie and the phantoms#bridgerton#infinity train#she-ra#the bear#paypal#gofundme#<--- even though i dont have one cause its not in the ph :(((

I’M BACK GUYS!!!
After 60 days….I’m back on tumblr! My show is tomorrow (Tysons night 1) and I am so ridiculously excited but also so nervous.
I’ve somehow remained spoiler free so I won’t be reblogging anything or really engaging with a lot of stuff until tomorrow night after the show. I legit have no idea what they’re about to put on….scary.
I have a few questions:
-is there a list of what has been asked during the pre-show? I don’t know what’s already been said nor do I know what to ask them. Is there a spreadsheet or something that someone has made?? Lmao
-is it publicly okay to wear a Sister Daniel nun costume? Has anyone else done this??
-has anyone been signing books!!! I made a post not too long ago about how we could sign our TABINOFs like year books and have no idea if this has caught on or not lmaoooo
I cannot WAIT for tomorrow night guys 🩷🩷 I’ll give you all of my thoughts tomorrow
Best,
Zack ✨

Hello,
My name is Aya. I am reaching out from Gaza to seek your help in saving my family. I am raising funds to evacuate my family from war-torn Gaza. Every passing minute endangers our lives and increases our suffering, especially with the constant bombing and the lack of food and water supply. 😞😞 Please, extend a hand to save our souls and make the world hear our cry. 💔
✅️Vetted by @gazavetters, my number verified on the list is (#217)✅️
Best regards,
Aya
For those who see this please, visit their blog and reblog their blog’s posts so they get more attention and if you have the money to spare please donate.
Also I apologize, but I do not have the ability to donate to you. Trust me if I had the ability I would but I don't and I can't. I have no bank account or credit card to transfer money to and no job to gain any money. Every time I ask my parents to help they shut me down so this is the only way to help you. Please forgive me.

So yesterday someone rebloged this post which I had completely forgot about it lol. Anyway it has reached a certain part of the fandom.
And it seems someone is really upset about the note I added to it:
Honey idk who you are but if you had the balls you would've come to me and I would've answered you with respect! Blocking you that is, so you don't have to deal with my posts and opinions ever again🥰
This person has mistook the meaning of my post and turn it into something that is absolutely not. I never tried to prove how Gwyn is better than Feyre or try to prove they're better suited for each other than Feysand. People who have open minds would see the point of my post but I'm not here to prove it.
This behaviour is childish and immature. How old are you? People can have their opinion and no one can ever tell someone else how stupid or ridiculous their opinion is over some fiction.
I don't care which side you are on if you take ss from other people's theory, headcanon or opinion, OR vague post about it just to shit on them and call them crazy for it, you're the problem. Yes, I'm looking at you who is constantly on the side of the fandom you don't enjoy only to mock others for their opinion and takes. Everyone can have different takes on fiction, if they're wrong and you can prove it then you can gently and respectfully correct them but you can't control anyone to think your way and see your reasons. But you know what's in your control? For you to ignore them and move on.
I didn't want to address this at all but… I think from how this fandom acts like they're a bunch of 5 years olds who have been left unsupervised for so long, I thought perhaps it's best to remind people that no one gave you the right to mock people on their opinion :)
#feysand#nessian#gwynriel#elucien#elriel#I'm certainly looking at gwynriels and eluciens whom I've seen take ss of others theory and try to debunk it#and tell them they're reaching#and how do you exactly know that you're not the one who's reaching?#this is *highly* immature#I've never been on elriel side I can't talk for them but if you're one and you did this also?#I'm also looking at you too#grow tf up#fandom fuckery#anyway I think it's time for me to spread gwynsand agenda#if I knew people are getting triggered for it I would've done it more hehe

*wanders out of the wardrobe*…oh hi there. What year is it? I may have forgotten that the majority of the audience hasn’t read all twenty chapters of this — oops. Welcome back to Prythian. An all new chapter of A Ballad of Thorns and Roses has been posted.
links: ao3 | subscribe to the story to receive email notifications for updates and subscribe to my user for notification of all my writing | AI is now scraping the web, including the archive, and you must now be a verified user of the Ao3 to view and comment on this story. If you need an invitation, please don’t hesitate to ask.
As always, big thank you to all of my betas, who sometimes read four or forty different versions of these scenes before convincing me that it is good enough to move on. Bless them for joining a discord, dealing with my endless spam of questions, and continued fascination with this character and his haunting narrative. Betas: @farintonorth & @honoroverpleasure 👏👏👏
Shoutout to everyone who encourages me to keep writing through their likes, reblogs, kudos, comments, DMs, etc. You are a big reason why this story keeps going and why I am brave enough to publish it. If I was writing this for only a few — it would be worth it. Yet, the audience remains big and I am beyond grateful!
Extra shoutout to @shadowqueenjude for just being really awesome, ok? I love you and you inspire me.
Updates: Small updates (mostly grammar and sentence structure) are continuing to be made to earlier chapters. A tag update will go through soon to remove tags that are no longer appropriate and add new ones which are — writing fanfic is a long haul process.
Tag List under the cut:
As always, this list continues to change and develop through fandom dynamics and URL changes. I do my best to keep it as updated as possible. If you change your url and desire to be returned to the list, DM to be added and DM to be removed. I will never be offended if you ask to be taken off.

we talk a lot about how current kids, teenagers, and parents never learned internet safety in this age of social media, but i think we also gotta be honest with ourselves that most of us, adults on the internet who participate in fandom, never really learned how to engage with young people without setting them up for disaster.
might be weird to say it like this, but it's important to leave people how you met them or better. like hiking or going to a nature reserve. if you are regularly talking to people on the internet, especially teenagers, you need to consider whether your behavior with them is how another, shittier person would take advantage of them, because you have no real way of protecting them if that happens. like if you're going into discords and saying 'hey i'm mom! let me help you with your homework and irl issues. also please feel free to vent to me if you have any mental health issues or problems at home" you have to understand that the next person who says that to them may be leaving out the end of their plan; "that would make you easier to abuse."
sometimes you have to say "you seem fun and have a lot of great ideas but you are also 15, so if you wanna talk fandom, here are the boundaries we're going to follow, because these are the boundaries other adults should be following with you." or just refuse to talk to kids.
you decide what your responsibility, is but what you can't do is build an illegal fire pit on the hiking trail, if you catch my drift.
#the last post i reblogged reminded me of my longstanding vendetta against fandom parents#and while i've held this opinion for years i think i can finally verbalize it in a way that makes sense?#dont get people used to red flags!!!! do not be the reason someone things red flags are normal!!!#this is not to say you can never be friends intergenerationally. just that like...#a lot of friendships i was in as a kid were like lightening. fast and strong and over quickly#and what i learned was that it was fine to progress to very personal details quickly.#dont be lightening. be a hiker. keep a reasonable speed and dont be afraid to say 'you're walking very quickly on an unknown path. slow dow#also just. to be clear. i dont think this is a personal failing i see this as a consequence of all of US having INSANE relationships too#like many of us are still struggling to figure out boundaries with IRL people after that.#and trying to do right by the young people we see in the same shoes now is a daunting and confusing task with which we can only do our best
