Hola, Amigos!

Unfortunately, fairly recently… Tumblr cleared its bots out and apparently it took 30ish followers with it.

So I’m am stable mentally enough now to announce that we have 71 LEGITIMATE followers.

[elegantbutedgy]

I’ll be honest y’all… I never thought I’d ever find a true love before. I always thought I’d have to mask my emotions, or gender identity, or something important about myself in order to conform to societal expectations. I thought love was just not in the books for someone like myself.

That being said…

I am so happy to say, I am fully, truly, insanely, in love with someone.

And he just proposed yesterday, with a ring we both picked at a thrift shop. Picked a cool record shop I’d never been to and while I was goofing around he knelt down and proposed :,)

I feel so seen, so accepted, so loved. All things I’ve never once felt in a relationship. I’d almost accepted my fate and I’m so glad I tried one more time to get myself out there. I knew from the start he was mine.

On our first date he brought me my favorite food to my job for my lunch break, remembering I don’t like cabbage so he made sure they gave me extra toast instead of slaw. Also noting that I loved dr pepper, so he got one for me as well.

Today is my 23rd birthday. I wasn’t expecting to make it past 16, and had previously planned on not making it past 25. But now I want to live forever if forever is with my love. I wanna grow old and wrinkly, smaller and weaker. Anything you could throw at me I’d accept, as long as I’m in it with my fiancé.

Vincent Price at the opening of The Tingler (1959)

[thefloatingstone]

I assume people are aware of what the gimmick was with "the Tingler" and I don't need to explain it

[vltima]

Please educate me on what "the Tingler" did. I am very curious

[thefloatingstone]

The Tingler is a B grade horror film made by William Castle. Now what you need to know about William Castle is the dude liked to put on a SHOW. (If the first sentence in his bio on Wikipedia doesn't make you interested in him nothing will.) He made around 15 movies but the one's he's most remembered for had some or other "gimmick" when you went to go see them in theaters during the 50s and 60s.

A famous one was for "The House at Haunted Hill" (also starring Vincent Price). At a pivotal scene in the movie, a skeleton with red glowing eyes would swoop out over the movie theater audience on a wire.

Now the Tingler had a much more unique concept.

The story of the Tingler is already insane. In the movie, Scientists discover that all human beings are born with a parasite in their spines called a "Tingler" that feed off of human fear. Called "The Tingler" for how you feel a rush run down your spine during extreme fear, which turns out to be the feeling of the parasite growing. Tinglers grow and will slowly curl in on themselves and will eventually crush the human spine it's wrapped around. Humans have evolved a natural defense mechanism, which is screaming when they get scared. Screaming weakens the growth of the Tingler, and prevents it from reaching a lethal size.

A scientist discovers this creature after a movie theater owner's wife, who was deaf and mute, died because she could not scream when frightened. Turns out he had murdered his wife by purposefully terrifying her, allowing the Tingler to grow to a lethal size.

So here's the gimmick. It's simply but ingeniously effective, as the entire movie was basically written to "sell" the gimmick.

William Castle had buzzers installed under the theater seats. This caused the seats to, at specific points in the movie, vibrate against the movie audience's backs.

There was also some live action sequences I'm just gonna copy paste from the wiki

During the climax of the film, The Tingler was unleashed in the movie theater, while the audience watched a climactic fight scene in Tol'able David (1921). The film stops and, in some real-life theaters, the house lights came on, a woman screamed and pretended to faint and was then taken away in a stretcher; all part of the show arranged by Castle.[12][8] From the screen, the voice of Price mentioned the fainted lady and asked the rest of the audience to remain seated. The film-within-a-film resumed and was interrupted again. The projected film appeared to break as the silhouette of the tingler moved across the projection beam. The image of the film went dark, all lights in the auditorium (except fire exit signs) went off, and Price's voice warned the audience, "Ladies and gentlemen, please do not panic. But scream! Scream for your lives! The tingler is loose in this theater!"[15] This cued the theater projectionist to activate the Percepto! buzzers, giving some audience members an unexpected jolt, followed by a highly visible physical reaction. The voices of scared patrons were heard from the screen, replaced by the voice of Price, who explained that the tingler was paralyzed and the danger was over. At this point, the film resumed its normal format, which was used for its epilogue.

There were also nurses stationed at the theater doors and planted "Screamers and fainters" who would be gurneyd out of the theater and "whisked off to hospital" past the audience, who would then come back and repeat the process for the next showing.

And that's the story of the movie "The Tingler".

I recommend looking up Willaim Castle and his movies further.

Also this is what a Tingler supposedly looks like

Edit: oh it was also the first movie to ever show someone take LSD. Since LSD was legal at the time.

Breaking Bad + No Context (Part 2)

[westenraskiss]

Normalize going into people’s ask boxes and ask them random ass questions.

Tumblr used to be so much fun with all the asks (anonymous or otherwise), and we need to bring those back, especially now that we finally have a half-decent blocking feature in place.

Ask people things! Message them! Don’t let tumblr inbox die! It’s one of the features that made tumblr tumblr.

[iikeeperii]

Lol I’ve been doing this randomly, especially with my mutuals, it’s just fun to see there answers to my dumb statements

[foone]

Friendly reminder for any other people on the autism spectrum:

It's not recommended to offer to kill someone's dad, especially if you're talking to a stranger

[thoughtfuldragon]

may I please have more context?

[foone]

Sometimes dads are terrible and should die, and you can console people by offering to rid them of this troublesome parent, but you should be friends with the person before making the offer

[dustedonrouteguano]

how the fuck are we supposed to make friends if not through gestures of patricide?

[foone]

Unknown. I'll provide updates if I ever figure it out

[stardust-devi]

an absolutely insane way to end this year 

[megafreeman]

You can't promote your other social media on Twitter anymore, the site is legit dying and they're burning lifeboats

[megafreeman]

Someone tested it, and you can't even mention these social medias in the "private" DMs

[megafreeman]

THIS IS ILLEGAL IN EUROPE, THEY MIGHT BAN TWITTER IN EU

[megafreeman]

Elon told that they removed all "shadowbans" on alt right accounts but they don't get more impressions because they were never banned in the first place, so someone convinced them the algorithm will prioritize their tweets on feed if they go private which successfully blocks their content from being shared or seen by anyone not following them, successfully killing their engagement. Even "genius" Elon Musk fell for it
