Be warned of my feels.

Alyssa is my name. :) • Filipino-American in the Bay Area and going through stages in life by way of insight and thought. • I like to fangirl, I like to have fun, I like to be serious. The key here is understanding when it is appropriate to do either of those things. Feed my fishies! Swim little ones!

Idk whats riled up Twitter (probs tiger king let’s be real) but if I see one more “friendly reminder that if you support ANY zoo or aquarium, you’re trash :)” I’m gonna have a stroke.

[gettingvetted]

That and the people who who say “now I know how zoo animals feel :(” like gimme a break buddy

[vet-and-wild]

I wish I had a team of dedicated carers providing enrichment, stimulation, and a varied diet every day.

[followthebluebell]

seriously.  i got one guy on my enrichment team and unfortunately for me, he’s ME.  i’ve never studied human husbandry a day in my life and now i’m responsible for my own enrichment, diet, and socialization?  what the fuck, dude.

Remember this viral post? Wanda and Jamal and her husband Lonnie are the most wholesome people, this story brought tears to my eyes originally and I am crying once more learning from Jamal's social media that Lonnie has sadly passed away.

Rest in Peace, Lonnie :(

I’m compelled by stories where the characters suffer a lot, but only if there’s catharsis in the end. If they just die without ever getting to recover I’m OUT because what’s the fucking purpose then? Voyeurism? Bye

[amouagee-deactivated20210702]

But happy endings are literally SOOO boring

[ursulaklegun-deactivated2024122]

So are you

[atreefullofstars]

The three most boring kinds of endings:

-I refuse to tell you the ending, you have to ~decide for yourself~! -And then they woke up. -And it was all miserable and pointless and nothing got fixed and nothing was better and everybody died or lived morosely ever after, now stay awake all night contemplating the futility of life and feeling shitty so I can masturbate to the idea that i have made Powerful Art.

Protip: it doesn’t take any skill or insight to make people feel bad. Just like it doesn’t take any skill to refuse to come up with an ending and make the reader decide, or to handwave all the questions of the narrative by saying they were never real at all. What takes skill is to gather together all your woven threads and knot them in a way that won’t unravel, that completes the narrative, satisfies the reader, and makes sense under scrutiny. That can be bittersweet sometimes! Characters can sacrifice a lot for their ending! It doesn’t have to be rainbows and kittens! But if the ending makes readers wish they hadn’t invested emotional energy in the outcome of the story, then the story has failed.

Don’t be lazy. Don’t cheap out on your ending. Work to put together something readers will be glad they read, even if it made them cry.

[allwomenmustdieactually]

IF THE ENDING MAKES READERS WISH THEY HADN’T INVESTED EMOTIONAL ENERGY IN THE OUTCOME OF THE STORY, THEN THE STORY HAS FAILED.

That’s it! That’s the point!

i refuse to accept the notion that videogame streamers occupy the same aesthetic as theater kids

[rukarsylvan]

Counter-proposal: You’re trying to make a living by excelling at contests of skill in front of a crowd. You’re a jock.

[demilypyro]

Ehhh. Don’t like that either. Esports gamers sure but I don’t even stream competitive games most of the time.

[demilypyro]

No. No no no. Also bad.

[demilypyro]

YES

Wish you could do this with books. I never know how tf to end any of my stories so im just gonna make the font smaller and smaller until it disappears

[ndiecity-deactivated20241101]

It's so fun and cool and sexy to think about how major corporations would completely dissolve like sugar cubes in hot water if we just didn't go to work

[ndiecity-deactivated20241101]

Hoo boy was this a post or what

i have returned to clarify

[insomniac-arrest]

reasons I’ve seen people staying on tumblr:

don’t understand twitter

don’t understand twitter

posts are in chronological order

spite

no other website has the same ambiance of gothic confusion and unrelatable obtuse content

they are a hapless pornbot who knows not of the end coming for their quivering female presenting nipples

mega spite

 like normal spite but you’re posting dick pics before The End

Direct Contact with the Memes

god, wht the fuk even is twitter

they tried to leave but woke up again on tumblr like it’s the Groundhog’s Day movie

[insomniac-arrest]

More reasons:

tumblr allows us to post in any format medium we choose (image, long text post, sound, or video)

shitposting just isn’t the fking same anywhere else

like some sort of ancient slumbering giant this is where we have laid for many a century and Will Not Get Up Again (aka can’t be bothered)

[cityelf]

This is the only godforsaken place I can have an open online presence where my fucking family haven’t managed to find me so you can pry it from my cold, dead, nippleless hands

[weepylucifer]

no employers are here, I don’t have to maintain my account under my real name, no one’s going to ask for my tumblr handle at a job interview
