why did tumblr put a potentially mature content warning on a picture of my dog

is it because she’s a big fatty fat fat and has very pink skin? are they doing the thing they did in 2018 again,!when their bots kept misidentifying sand dunes as boobs?

*makes no effort to include self* what the fuuuuuck why do i feel so left out

[juney-blues]

*makes great, unseen efforts, that ultimately result in nothing because my brain is broken and outwardly look like no effort was made at all* fuuuuuuck fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck

I always have fun translating my first drafts/initial idea dumps from how I describe things in my very tumblr-influenced cadence to how the POV character would think. but sometimes I don’t want to change it even if it’s anachronistic or wouldn’t make sense for the character. I mean, cmon; I don’t think I can do better than he’s objectively fine af when he’s not making the ‘well, actually’ face

[buntchugleyy]

I’m running into this problem again, but it’s worse because in this rough draft I’ve simply written :3 a bunch of times instead of describing this character’s expression or thoughts and now I have to translate :3 into prose. Why do I do these things

[buntchugleyy]

I. Oops. So this turned out to be a fucking lie because I decided to actually read the stories and now I’m in too deep and can’t leave and won’t shut the f up about the ship I like (it’s the most popular one that’s full of jerks bc of course it is; life cannot be easy for me) and think about them 24/7 but I also still can’t participate in the fandom because I’m not twelve years old and i understand the concept of literary analysis

Can't hang out in your great-uncle's den anymore. Because of woke

the urge to respond to our sales team with “incomprehensible, thank you!” is so SO strong today. oh my god I wish I could quit but this still beats any customer-facing job and I’d rather actually literally die than do that ever again

My therapist just told me my problem is that I need to write more fanfiction.

[clandestinegardenias]

This sounds fake but the logic behind it is actually really interesting? She said obsession with a new fandom triggers quick dopamine release when we consume all this related content--it's easy and addictive.

What we're NOT getting is that 'slow dopamine' that's more sustainable and engaging. That's the kind we get from DOING things that take effort but are ultimately rewarding.

So like, she suggested that writing fic and making fanart are ways to balance the quick dopamine of watching a show/reading fic with the slow dopamine of working at something that takes effort.

Moral of the story is you should engage in the process of creation around your favorite things. You'll feel better for it.

OH.

why am I getting maga shit in my tumblr ads. really? you’re gonna advertise on THIS site?

[buntchugleyy]

I KNOW people are allowed to move on and I know it’s fun to be in popular fandoms, but seeing damn near everyone across seemingly every fandom you’re in leave to the same one when you have negative interest in [REDACTED but u can probably guess; its a mlm ship that has taken over the entire fucking website] is rough and tbqh it’s making me so depressed that it’s actually affecting my mood and life and activates the strongest pathological demand avoidance response I’ve ever experienced so I’ve sorta checked out from fandom stuff which makes me even more depressed bc i have nothing nice in my life

[speedlimit15]

i think if your account has existed on this site for a certain number of years you should be grandfathered into ad free browsing. a decade seems reasonable like if you signed up in 2012 or prior you have tenure

[fluorescentbrains]

seeing straight men be disgusted by booktok smut recommenders has actually radicalized me to the side of booktok smut recommenders. girls your taste may be atrocious but i will never disparage you for exposing mainstream discourse to the concept of soaking through your underwear. spent my whole life listening to men talk about penises it’s about time they get jumpscared by women talking about pussy in crude detail on social media. go forth and goon my warriors

[insomniac-arrest]

I work at a bookstore and hearing one of my male coworkers call smutty romantasy "the downfall of society" because it's "literally just porn" radicalized me

Men have an entire industry. Entire industries dedicated to their sexualities. Let women have fantasy sex. there's not even a camera crew involved.

when i say “girl” randomly as an interjection i’m speaking to the omnipresent all knowing being of Girl. asking her for mercy. taking girl’s name in vain
