ONE OF THE SEXIEST CLIP ON THE INTERNET

[hurryupmerlin]

Someone: What are you thinking about?

Me, internally: Whenever John puts a new magazine into the Kimber 1911 he does a press check to make sure it didn’t jam, because Kimbers are notorious for jamming on the first bullet of a magazine. He doesn’t do that with any of the other guns. Also, he flicks out the old magazine to make sure it’s not stuck – something that never happens in movies but often in reality. This is some brilliant film making an love to detail.

Me, out loud: Not much.

[jmtorres]

 I feel like it shouldn’t be so wonderously strange as it is that filmmakers making a movie with a lot of guns are actually interested in the details of the guns

i don’t think tumblr actually eats asks i think that was made up by someone who was caught in the crossfire of some petty tumblr drama years ago and we all just ran with it because it’s both plausible and incredibly convenient. for the record if i don’t answer your ask it’s because i didn’t want to. peace peace ✌️

[cerastes]

It doesn’t eat asks nowadays. It actually used to be a thing you could test. We know what caused it.

It’s been fixed for a long time, but if your ask contained “…” in it, Tumblr would eat it: You’d get the notification but there would be no new ask in your inbox. We eventually found out it was “…” that caused it through trial and error, and eventually, it was quietly fixed, but for years, spaghetti code in tumblr just didn’t allow you to triple ellipsis others in any capacity. Seasoned RP blogs back in the day would include this tip in their About, even: “Don’t send asks with … in them, Tumblr eats those”.

every day i learn about another way this hellsite used to be even more fucked up than now

one thing I like about Tumblr is, in 2019 I reblogged a piece of art from 2017 of a book written in 2015 and Yesterday in 2022 someone liked it, and this is how this website is supposed to work, I have art made this week in my queue next to stuff from 2014, 2013, 2012, hell even 2011, sometimes I post 10-11 year old fan art from accounts that haven't been active since before One Direction broke up. Nothing is ever truly dead and gone on here, you can always dust off an old treasure and say "hey gang look at this!" other social media isn't set up like that, if you wonder why it feels like The Batman was released 100 years ago, its because corporate media wants you to move on! go to the NEW THING! BUY! etc but hey guess what I have fan art of Battinson being emo in my queue. So if you're a fan artist, writer, gif maker, or just fan who wants to gush, guess what, here, here we're still spreading around old art, gif sets and someone will be happy you made something new in the tag

for the love of god please listen to old users when we say this site works differently. that you can’t just sit around with a blank blog. make posts or reblog, but do something at least. this site works because we don’t have an unavoidable garbage algorithm forcefeeding us posts based on our likes. we do not need another fucking twitter, tiktok or instagram.

[conarcoin]

liking a post is literally useless here. we don’t have an algorithm. we see posts when people reblog them onto our dashes, they show up in a tag we’re following/searching, or they end up chucked into our recommended page (very inaccurate, basically just popular posts that may be vaguely related to your interests sometimes). liking doesn’t do anything. it’s just a button that’s there to show, hey, i saw this post. or you’re saving it for later

[emedeme]

this is (partially) why art blogs are dying. if you don’t actually reblog the art posts you enjoy, they won’t reach anyone and just...stay there with a few likes.

i want to slonk your shit silly style like sloppy swag

Psh. Whatever. It’s not like I wanted to get my shit slonked silly style anyway…

A few of these are probably referring to the date posting bug thing, but AAAAAAAAAAAH!

[laikaflash]

I beg of all the younger folks on Ao3 to understand two things:

There is no algorithm on that site.

Unlearn the attention-hungry bullshit that social media has taught you.

[icemankazansky]

Do not repost the same work multiple times on AO3, or change the date/time to put you back at the top of the list, to boost your stats. Do not post new chapters of a chaptered work as individual stories. These things are extremely rude and people who are angry at you will not want to read your stories.

DO REBLOG everything on tumblr because that is the only way this site functions. On tumblr, YOU are choosing what your followers see. They see what you reblog. They don’t see what you like. There’s also no algorithm robot AI whatever seeing what you like and showing you related comment. NOTHING HAPPENS to likes that affects what content ANYONE on this website sees.

DO SHARE stories you like on AO3 with others, perhaps by sharing them with your Tumblr followers. AO3 has features specifically for this purpose. Fic recs are a wonderful way for fanfiction to get more attention, because, as we’ve discussed, there is no algorithm on AO3. AO3 is the opposite of TikTok.

posting on a blackboard discussion board and replying to two of your fellow students has to be one of the nine circles of hell

[helloitsbees]

Great point, Dylan! I especially agree with it being “one of the nine circles of hell”. Well said.

[feenyxblue]

If I could offer a bit of criticism to your post Dylan, I would say that this phenomenon is not limited to blackboard, but also extends to other education websites, such as Canvas. Overall though, I agree with your point.

[what-even-is-thiss]

I agree with what other people have said above. I have noticed your reference to Dante's Inferno. Very good use of earlier texts in the course.
