POST PLUS IS COMING, WHETHER YOU WANT IT OR NOT!

Despite the fancy survey, changes to the UI and TOS reveal we’re getting the service in the future whether we want it or not. Obviously, Post+ is a terrible idea that is trying to bank revenue on user content. Unlike patreon or onlyfans, tumblr’s primary focus is on FAN content. The legality of this is NOT in the users favor and as the new tumblr TOS states, said users will be entirely liable for whatever legal matters arise.

SO WHAT ARE WE DOING?

Besides filling out the survey, it’s time to show tumblr we mean business and show our displeasure by hitting them where it hurts.

Ad revenue.

We’re proposing a 24 hour log off as phase one of this protest.

WHEN IS THE PROTEST?

AUGUST 6th, 2021        12 am Eastern Time (US)          5 am Greenwich Mean Time          6 am Central European Time          8 am Moscow Standard Time          1 pm Australian Western Time          2 pm Japan Standard Time          3:30 pm Australian Central Time          4 pm Australian Eastern Time

AUGUST 5th, 2021

11 pm Central Time (US)          10 pm Mountain Time (US)            9 pm Pacific Time (US)

THE END TIME IS 24 HOURS FROM START TIME!!!

So no posting, no queues, no likes, and no reblogs!

WHAT IF I CAN’T/WHAT ELSE CAN I DO?

Like this post and share it AS MANY TIMES AS POSSIBLE. Use the hashtags #tumblrlogoff2021 or #postplusprotest on ANY and ALL social media.

WILL THIS WORK?

Maybe, maybe not. It’s an attempt at doing SOMETHING.

BECAUSE I’M A TIRED IDIOT, USE THIS TO DOUBLE CHECK YOUR TIME ZONE!!!!

The reason for 9PM PST is because that is when post limit refreshes and the servers “roll over” to the next day btw

How to help Amazônia:

You can donate to SOS Amazônia which is one among the 100 NGOs selected as “The Largest NGOs in Brazil”.

> > > ( ENGLISH: //doe.sosamazonia.org.br/en ) < < <

And remember: - 1 USD is 4,04 reais. - 1 EUR is 4,47 reais. If you donate only $2,50 USD (10 reais) you’re helping a lot.

If you donate only $2,30 EUR (10 reais) you’re helping a lot. About people saying “the minimum value is $10”: Even if you’re not from Brazil you can donate in REAL instead of donating in USD or EUR via Paypal, so… YES, you can donate less than 10 dollars or euros. (Just don’t change the currency to USD or EUR, Paypal converts your dollars/euros to reais.)

Please. Boost if possible, this is REALLY important.

Age and Elves

“Its been twenty years that I’ve been chasing Leilah”

How??? Fucking old is Leilah??? Or Kandomere for that matter??? Leilah’s actress is 38 and Kandomere’s is 40, but that doesn’t necessarily mean the characters are meant to be around the same age (and neither of them look their age anyways). Even if they were, that would put Kandomere as an agent in the Magic Task Force at age 20, and Leilah as a coven leader at 18. That seems pretty young, ESPECIALLY for Kandomere, elf privilege or no.

Do elves age differently in Bright like in other fantasy worlds? Do they live longer? How old is Tikka then?

[krakene]

I want a 30 min backstory spin-off for Dorghu like Netflix did for Hundred Eyes from Marco Polo and it’s about how he got his scars, why he moved from Miami and the moment he created the Fogteeth and like the politics of starting a new orc clan, cause how the fuck does that work

or 

a holiday special release 4 ep. long ok and each episode is filmed like the office, i think everyone knows what I mean on this. Anyways,,

the first ep is a general look at life in LA,This one is very documentary style you know interviewing people and in general world-building which we despeeraately all crave

the second is a day in the office with Kandomere and Montehugh(whose whole name is apPARENTLY Hildebrandt Ulysses Montehugh like alright son) This one should be done with absolutely no explanation it just exists and it involves magic policing shenanigans. Kandomere is 100% done with everything in the world and at some point we see him look straight into the camera as he fills an entire mug with whiskey with a drop of coffee. Montehugh meanwhile is in disbelief of everything, think the meme of sounds af but aight, here tho we also get an off camera scene where we find out he just does it to fuck with Kandomere

The third is a ride-along with Ward and Jakoby becaaaause we all need and deserve the shenanigans of an everyday patrol that is not interrupted by a cult’s plan to resurrect the dark lord like it’s HP book 4. Here I want to see an improved relationship between Ward and Jakoby, along with alll of Jakoby’s puns as well as awkwardness because he is intensely aware of the camera. I just want to see them getting takeout, no one gets shot and honestly the worst thing is them having to deal with the everday weird shit that happens with living in a big city (like that one lady who dressed up like a dinosaur and scared those carriage horses over in sc)

A day in the life of the Fogteeth gang as told by Mikey for a school video project. I want like both family shit and shenanigans out of this one alright. Like no angst all fluff, we see them taking care of the church, having to order new jerseys, Dorghu having to deal with everyday neighborhood problems, think small town problems tho like Tammy from next door keeps passive aggressively vacuuming when she damn well knows that Shauna is trying to sleep cause she works nights or like Donny accidentally ordered the new jerseys in human sizes and really again.

Just that slice of life stuff man the kind that improves the world-building

1. TAKE NOTES NETFLIX

2. It’s not either/or, must have ~BOTH~

3. The first name of the actor that plays Montehugh is Happy. I want everyone, and I mean, everyone, to call him Happy, I’d really love it if they call him Agent Happy, EXCEPT Kandomere. Because Kandomere knows they do it just to get on his nerves.

4. ‘Not interrupted by a cult’s plan to resurrect the dark lord like it’s HP book 4’

5. Racism can be so ingrained, Ward may not catch it in himself til after it’s happened; so when he realizes he mistreated an orc at the deli, he apologizes to Nick & the orc.

6. Ward calls Nick on his inability to say the word ‘sex’. This also settles the debate on whether or not Orcs can blush.

7. Dorghu has to accept the little old orc lady’s horrible dinner dish and take a bite like he loves it b/c he can’t insult an elder.

8. Mikey has a crush on a girl he thinks is out of his league, but it’s obvious she’s into him. Whether she’s orc, or another race. She’s throwing herself at him, but he’s a Nick Jakoby and thinks she’s just a nice person.

9. GET ON IT NETFLIX

[incorrectbrightquotes]

jakoby: *sighs* why is Ward so afraid of love?

tikka: what makes you think he’s afraid of love?

[ flashback to earlier that day ]

jakoby: LOVE

ward: *screams*

[cinnamonrolljakoby]

I love those little hints we get that Tikka actually understands English before the reveal- the zoom in on her calculating face during Ward and Jakoby’s argument in front of the safehouse, the way she looks at Jakoby after the heart to heart in the bathroom.

[cinnamonrolljakoby]

History of Magic answers some (but not nearly all) of the questions we were left with at the end of Netflix’s Bright.

While I super appreciate them putting this out, I really wish some of this stuff had been put in the actual film. Still, really interesting information!

BRIGHT (2017) AESTHETICS ⟶ Nick Jakoby

‘How are your holes?’

[cinnamonrolljakoby]

Dorghu, Jakoby, & the Fogteeth

I hope they bring Dorghu back in the second movie. You can tell he didn’t actually want to kill them in the end, at least not Jakoby, and the regret on his face when Jakoby is resurrected… I want to see how that relationship pans out moving forward. Especially now that Dorghu himself blooded Jakoby. Is Jakoby a Fogtooth now? Does Dorghu feel he owes Jakoby- or that Jakoby owes the Fogteeth special loyalty now? If Jakoby and Ward need to call in extra help to deal with the next film’s big bad, are they gonna rely on the Fogteeth? Does Mikey ever see Jakoby around- how do they interact? How do the Fogteeth treat Jakoby now?

[cinnamonrolljakoby]

So… Dorghu has all these scars on his face… and his right ear is all tore up… WHAT THE HECK HAPPENED TO HIM?!? Is that part of how he got blooded, or was that later? Does that ear still twitch or did the damage affect his ear twitching muscles?

I DEMAND A DORGHU BACKSTORY

[the-winter-senpai]

Hey I never noticed this! Maybe it IS part of how he got blooded. Also is that his wife? How many kids does he have? Do orcs get married or no?

[cinnamonrolljakoby]

I think she is his wife, or at least his girlfriend, since she’s in his lap and in the wider shot I’m pretty sure he had his hand on her breast. Or at least tit level.

I’d really love to see orcs in a domestic/familial setting. We get to see a bit of how their interactions and customs are through Dorghu and Mikey and some glimpses of orc mothers with their children in the background of a street shot, but it really isn’t much information.

Orc Culture Headcanon

Orcs on IG musings

Richard Redlesfen posted these guys on his Insta. If you’re into special fix & prosthetics he is amazing. Anyway. This first guy is our beloved Rrollo. Rrollo’s badge says Councilor.

I just noticed that for this second hottie his badge says ‘-something- chief’. Which makes me think he’s the second in command. So Rrollo’s Councilor position is a high rank, but not at the top. The IG description says this is from the music video for “Home”. Going to have to watch it and see if I can be a glimpse.

I’m thinking that the leather jacket wearers have rank and position, all the others wearing the FogTeeth shirts are Blooded members that have earned the right to wear the colors. In the church, Mikey is wearing what looks like red and black(at least on my screen it’s red and black)when his dad says he’ll earn his colors. So killing someone is not a way to get Blooded, but it does give you status in the Clan/Gang.

I think of this part of the FogTeeth as a gang more than Clan. Clan is family, it’s ancient tradition. Gang is current culture, dealing with and accepting the way Society has shaped the Clan. So when we see an adult male orc in plain clothes with tusks, they are Blooded & part of the Clan. But without the FogTeeth apparel they are not part of the Gang.

Supports some people’s theory that there is the FogTeeth Clan and separate from that is the FogTeeth Gang.

I’m still working on headcanons, and if I can find other members in leather jackets in videos, I’ll *try* to post them. I’m crap at that sort of thing, so don’t hold your breath. Let me know if you want to be tagged in my head canons, also sorry if I missed tagging you.

[onyxtellsnosecrets]

This makes a lot of sense!

[onyxtellsnosecrets]

Is orc #2 Non-Stop??? The cheek and chin patterns are clearer to see and they look to match his.

[onyxtellsnosecrets]

Nick had a blanket when Ward woke up in the hospital, did Nick sleep at his bedside he was so worried for Ward? I swear the more I think about this soft boy the more I want to fucking cry at how pure he is.

[bright2k17appreciationsociety]

Ward drinks coffee, Nick drinks tea. Tikka drinks Unicorn Frappuccinos.
