modern social media should stop offering "sync with your phone contacts to follow them" options and start offering "block all your phone contacts so they never see your account" options

[fellshish]

reading other comments on the fic you’ve just commented on is like. asynchronous book club meeting 🫶

Remembering that post "people on Twitter treat characters like real people and real people like characters" I would say this is true of people in this larger sphere of whatever fandom is today bc like. Yes please for the love of God stop making speculations about people around you. What if you gave people around you half the dignity you do that fictional vampire or whatever.

"app" is without a doubt one of the deepest evils of the human race. "hello. would you like to be expected to have a bespoke piece of software for every single Brand you might theoretically interact with in a day" <- statement dreamed up by someone who should be drawn and quartered

[whatthefoucault]

"It's better in the app!"

That's embarrassing. Make your website better

Unfortunately you will talk like a tumblr user for your entire life. Sorry.

Unfortunately your kids might also talk like Tumblr users. My daughter said "Get cherished, idiot" to her cat yesterday.

Watching Snapcube play through the beginning of chapter 5, and...

Just got to the closets full of "unnecessary things." Including a suit of golden armor, 500 points, half a photograph, and Ralsei (+his hat).

The golden armor becomes relevant later in the chapter, the half photograph isn't described, but is almost guaranteed to come back and bite us later (or maybe it already does in this chapter, and I just missed it), and, obviously, Ralsei is important.

That'd leave the 500 points as being the odd joke out, but you know how Toby is about disguising hints as jokes. I kind of think they all going to come back up in the future, or already have.

According to the Deltarune wiki, the photo MIGHT be the other half of the golden flower from chapter 3. (Meaning the game-in-game version was representative of the real world photo, which idk if I buy, atm.) If that IS the case, then the torn photo has paid off, too.

In a shocking twist, Toby Fox's sleep induced vision just woke me up in the middle of the night.

It's not for some grand revelation or stunning realization.

It's to say 'Lightner AU Tenna should, at some point in time, be a substitute at the school Toriel works at. Because days with a sub are usually when you watch videos.'

Cannot stand the trend of censoring any and all words that describe concepts that might make you go :( especially when the censoring is done in that quarter-assed way that's just 'did a lil scribble over a vowel so you know that I know this word describes a no-no."

I'm not even going to be vague about what sparked this. Do not fucking censor the word 'stole.' I'm at my fucking limit.

[reggiemess]

Who does this benefit. Who is made safer by this. Whose life is made better by this. Who is out there going "Wow I sure am glad I didn't have to see that word without it scribbled on a little. That really reduced the emotional impact of reading that word." Can I kill them?

This tweet read me to filth

[hollow-head]

"who do you self insert as when you read?"

This is me when I read:

[dragon-in-a-fez]

somewhere in tumblr hq, circa late 2025:

"okay so if they click the replies button it shows them the replies"

"makes sense. and if they click the likes button it shows them the likes?"

"no, it likes the post."

"o...kay. and so if you click the reblogs button, does it reblog the post or show the reblogs?"

"hehehe...that's the really genius part. it's a whole different thing again"

"perfect. push it."

i need to harness this energy whenever i observe this post

Honestly, I think we need to be paying more attention to the game boards-- both the altered versions and the Original Game. They actually predict/foreshadow a shocking number of things about chapter 5 (though the importance of those details ranges from 'negligible' to 'says what's going to happen almost word-for-word').

The perspective-shifting mechanic. Seriously.

These two rooms connect directly to one another, and there's no real reason for the stylistic departure.
