I swear there are some gaming in jokes that fit so many situations that I forget they are not universally known. What do you mean „200 years of collective game design” and „I will become back my money” are not universal catchphrases
finished seeing the game recently so giant mewgenics drawign studff hi1111111111 hi!!!!! ok runs
had a silly thought and my friend told me i should post this
People saying Loki or BBC Sherlock were tumblr sexymen, we are loosing the ancient text. Tumblr sexyman always meant a character that would not be found fuckable outside of niche fandom circles, not any guy people on here find hot. I was there at the peak of sexyman crossovers
imagine a goat with a hat
STOP-
what hat did you give the goat what is the instinctual hat you gave to this goat
Top hat. Perhaps because that's the only type of hat I wear irl.
This one

Steven and...beanies!?
bro made "fart face" and thought it was the funniest shit ever
My favorite way of writing Steven is as this asshole dudebro cosmic horror. He has witnessed eternity, seen the beginning and ending of life, he is time itself and he talks like a horny frat bro
i dont want to rot then dont steven beanies stuff
They are my everything
chat is this anything
Today's transmasc character is:
Valence (The Addict) from Pronoun Palace
Valence is a trans man and uses he/him pronouns
I just unlocked this manfailure and boy he is so stressful to play. Do drugs to explode yourself
People on this website will really mock anti-vaxxers and flat earthers for ignoring scientists and getting their alternative facts from facebook, and then turn around and insist they know more history than historians and more archaeology than archaeologists because they read an unsourced tumblr post once
Is there a real life example of this?
It happens a lot.
I know it's bad but I kind of want to know more about the woman who thinks the Roman Empire never existed
Oh shit i believed the Leonardo Da Vinci one
Also why do people make these
What do you hope to gain
There are a lot of different misinformation dynamics at play here. Only some are innocent, only some are malicious. But that’s why it pays to fact-check things, because the innocent misunderstandings, the arrogant personal hypotheses stated as fact, and the malicious lies are all jumbled together.
Some of these are a misunderstanding or conflating of true facts. The Da Vinci one goes here. Many historians do believe that Leonardo da Vinci had a romantic/sexual relationship with his apprentice(s). And it’s well-established that his apprentices modeled for some of his paintings. But they did not model for any of his paintings of Jesus - which was the core point of the post that this fact came from, enjoying the irony. So this isn’t true because it’s a conflation of several true facts into a false but understandable conclusion.
Some of these are just a victim of internet telephone. The “Persephone’s daughter” and “fake Greek goddess” ones refer to Mespyrian, who was some teenager’s wattpad OC daughter of Persephone and Hades, that someone else on tumblr accidentally mistook as a real figure from Greek mythology.
Some of these come from people making their own conclusions about history, and then turning around and insisting that the experts therefore must be lying to you. This is where it gets dangerous. The “archaeologists broke the noses off Egyptian statues to hide the fact that they were African” one goes here. Many Egyptian statues are missing their noses, so several years ago someone on the internet claimed that it was because archaeologists deliberately broke them off, and this gained a Lot of traction because it felt true and people wanted it to be true. People overwhelmingly want to believe that they, ordinary citizens of the world with no special training, are actually smarter than the experts. People love to believe that, so it’s very, very easy for people to decide the experts are stupid and clueless (the “History Hates Lovers” song, the thing about the dodecahedron or the Roman hairstyles or the leather burnishers) while salt-of-the-earth ordinary folk are smarter than those ivory-tower eggheads. At worst, people decide the experts are maliciously hiding the truth about the world for their own gain (the Lovers of Valdaro one here is an example of this, but you also see this a lot regarding “all ancient cultures were feminist utopias until the Catholic Church invented misogyny and covered up the feminist past” type posts that are extremely popular with TERFs.) This is the dynamic I’m comparing to anti-vaxxers and flat Earthers, and yes, this kind of anti-intellectualism is dangerous.
Some people are just trolls because they like lying on the internet and riling people up. This cannot be discounted. People do do this. The tiktok woman who doesn’t believe in the Roman Empire and doesn’t believe that Vesuvius erupted is almost certainly a troll who likes the attention her wild false claims get.
It’s a combination of things, but it’s why you shouldn’t assume that historians are all old homophobic clueless idiots and only you, tumblr user persephonesmassivebadonkers or whatever, know the REAL truth. Because that’s how you get Flat Earthers, but more pressingly, it’s how you get antisemitic conspiracy theories and transphobic radfem proclamations of We Need To Return To The Ancient Feminist Utopia (By Destroying All Trans People)(And, Usually, Abrahamic Religions).
But also by believing easily-debunked falsehoods it makes genuinely well-meaning people easier to dismiss by bigots as Brainwashed By Those El Gee Bee Tees Who Will Lie Because They Want To Destroy Academia/Biological Sex/The Church.
Spreading misinformation on tumblr is an understandable consequence of the existence of the internet, but it’s not harmless and really ought to be challenged when it’s seen.
When an artist you go to for freak porn posts gorgeous sfw work. I would love to share it on main but I’m not telling everyone I was at the devils sacrament
i don’t. want to
This is the first part of an animation I started two months ago and returned to a few days ago:
*Beanies' maid outfit design is based on the drawings of the YouTuber "Explunde"; all the scratches are my idea.
It's not finished yet. So, I'll leave this part here, because it will take me some time to finish it.
