Caramelldansen turns 20 this year and frankly I am not prepared for that.
So it’s settled? When November 2 rolls around, we’re all laying facedown and blasting Caramelldansen?
no we’re gonna put our big boy pants on and do the goddamn caramelldansen dance for once in our lives
Well I know what I’ll have to reblog on the 2nd
happy may 4th
i fucking reblogged this on april 4th thinking it was may 4th
Which couple would be the iconic "i would like to rescind the callout post against [x], I am now dating this person"
possible options in no particular order:
rewind when brainstorm joins the cdrwstorm polycule
rodimus when he starts dating thunderclash
rodimus when he starts dating drift post-"exile"
i know i actively don't ship it but. i have to admit. minimegs
you know that issue of combiner wars where prowl pretends he forgives spike for an issue and a half
right like. a thing i know in my heart is this. minimus would run a discourse blog. minimus has unacknowledged fucking moral scrupulosity OCD and a massive inferiority complex he tries to deal with by being an authority figure. none of that 'ship dad who is Above Petty Squabbles' fanon bullshit, minimus is arguing online about hypotheticals instead of going to therapy and YOU know it and I know it and this is, objectively, the funniest possible transplant of minimegs to any kind of AU imaginable. minimus both writes the callout post that lists Likes Bad YA Novels alongside Literally Murdered People AND he is the person who then gets laid and quietly rescinds it, including the murder bit. anyway then it gets out minimus stole a dead guy's identity and he becomes the main character of twitter for a week

Culture is so obsessed with the idea of lone geniuses that it doesn't really appreciate that most of the progress of science (and likely every other discipline) occurs collaboratively, in babysteps, and usually through a lot very tedious, utterly unsexy, work.
This is what’s so faulty with our short sighted coverage of scientific discoveries. You hear politicians question why we spend money on science studying insect wings and then decades later that research gets used by NASA for the most efficient way to fold/unfold solar panels on spacecraft. All of science is connected and useful because it enhances our understanding of the universe
When lasers were discovered they were called “a solution without a problem”, noone had any idea what to use them for. Since then they’re revolutionised communications and SO many parts of technology. CDs, DVDs, printing, fast internet, laser etching for making computer chips, laser eye surgery, spectroscopy, LIDAR measurements of weather patterns, barcode scanners, cooling atomic clocks, nuclear fusion, microscopy, LED technology and materials research. I’m probably not even scratching the surface here. Fund theory and fundamental science research.
It's actually kind of heartening, lasers; because before they were invented, their only real antecedents in science fiction were things like rayguns and heatrays and what not. But it actually turns out that their usefulness as a weapon is extremely limited, whereas their usefulness for just about everything else is incredible. It's one of the occasions where we flipped the "Dual Use" coin and it landed very solidly on the good side.

hwat do we think gamers. good fit or too early 2000s?
im going home to change immediately.
HWY ARE YOU GUYS STILL FUCKIGN SPREADING THIS. I DOTN LOOK LIKE THE ONCELER IM GOIGN TO CHOP UR DIKC OFF AND MAKE A SHITTY SECONDRATE NEW YORK HOT DOG WIHT IT. AND IT WONT SELL FOR ANYTHING HIGHER HTAN 50 CENTS. THAT'S HOW BAD YOUR DICK IS
I HOPE THE NEXT TIME YOU CATCH HTE BUS YOU CAN'T FIND THE CHANGE FOR A TICKET SO YOU JUST HAVE TO SIT HTERE AND HOLD EVERYONE UP AS YOU DIG IN YOURE FUCKIGN POCKETS FOR THE RIHGT AMOUNT OF MONEY. AND THEN THE BUS MOVES BEFORE YOU CAN SIT DOWN SO YOU STUMBLE A LITTLE ADN THE OLD MAN AT THE BACK LOOKS AT YOU JUDGEMENTALLY SO YOU HURRY TO FIDN A SEAT AND WHEN YOU SIT DOWN THERE'S GUM. ON IT. AND YOU HAVE TO WALK AROUND ALL DAY WITH FUCKIGN GUM ON YOUR ASS LIKE A LOSER and also your bus crashes

This is absolutely what a cats internal monologue is like <3
The best time to have planted a tree was 20 years ago. The second best time is now. Did you plant one 19 years ago? You may as well just go fuck yourself
I think the reason I like mecha/power armor so very much is that all movement and everything I do already feels like piloting an unwieldy, oversized mechanism not designed for this purpose, and I would just prefer one that didn't suck ass and maybe had cool jets
This human body is just the robot at the point in the battle where every single readout is flashing red and the alarms won't stop going off and I, the pilot, am desperately trying to get it to fire or even move while a digitized voice repeats OFFLINE or CRITICAL DAMAGE into my ear over and over as if I don't fucking know
"why do you know that" i am curious about the world around me
Was thinking about how Hob and Dream could both be insufferable in some way because, in fairness, Hob comes across as someone who could make friends with bread if left in a room with it long enough.
Then I had a thought:
What if Hob Gadling is just super fucking insufferable to other immortals?
See, Dream is... difficult for mortals to get because he's got his whole eldritch thing going on. But while he's not particularly popular with them, I imagine other immortals at least get and respect his whole deal. Like, he's the Dreamlord. Of course he's weird. But they understand the laws and principles he's referring to at least when he's being weird. He seems to at least have a pleasant relationship with the Faerie Court. It's mortals who can't really connect with Dream and find him exasperating as a result.
Whereas Hob gets along great with mortals, just swell. He's Just A Guy who happens to live forever and people get along with him. But immortals? We don't really see it much but immortals positively loathe this guy.
Dream's reaction to the whole, "I've made up my mind, I've decided not to die!"? Hob tossed out in 1389? That's the teeth-grinding level of irritation Hob engenders in every immortal he comes across (before they have centuries to get to know him) and it is exactly why Death just had to make this man immortal because it would be hilarious.
Why doesn't Hob hang out with other immortals besides Dream? Because the minute he opens his mouth about how great life is and how he's never had even a moment's doubt about how much he wants to live, every immortal in the room starts to make the gagging motion.
You're an immortal just trying to have a bit of a kvetch about Kids These Days and how much times have changed and how it was better in your day, and there's Hob fucking Gadling again ready to throw down about how amazing antibiotics and automobiles and the latest iPhone number whatever are and like, sure, but you were just trying to say back in your day things were better, right? Not objectively maybe but you're just trying to indulge in a bit of immortal nostalgia and Hob fucking Gadling is not having any of it and is ready to argue you into the dirt about it.
You're immortal but haven't quite kept up on today's slang? Hob Gadling will absolutely call you out and he's a teacher now so he's going to be super nice about it but you know he's judging you for saying groovy unironically and thinks you should get with the times already.
You're a vampire living off centuries of generational wealth? Hob keeps talking about how you should get a job and get out of the spooky mansion more, and maybe you wouldn't feel so much existential angst. You like your existential angst!
Hob doesn't have a single ounce of patience for immortals who want to wax poetic about wishing they were mortal again. Diseases, he says, have you ever had diseases? Like even a cold? It sucks. It really fucking sucks. The Plague? The fucking worst. You don't need to be mortal to get involved in mortal life, Hob fucking Gadling keeps pointing out at the monthly eldritch coffee meetups. You can just live as a mortal and share in their problems and enjoy the fact you don't have to deal with the shit parts like getting sick. Completely missing the point of the futile lamentation of regretting one's lost mortality is something you enjoy.
Hob harshes the vibe of every single immortal out there. They are so goddamn sick of him. There's a reason he has no apparent immortal friends or connections to the supernatural world despite (in the comics) seeming to have met other immortals and having the occasional supernatural encounter that he immediately brushes off as dull when compared to what the normal, every day world has to offer.
No other immortal can fucking figure out what Dream of the Endless sees in this guy, and how he can stand to talk to him even once a century without storming off (which, in fairness, Dream has done on 2/7 occasions). Dream, not otherwise known for his patience, is seen as a saint in the eldritch community for even spending as much time as he has over the course of 600+ years with Hob fucking Gadling.
The TikTok-fication of Tumblr and why it needs to stop before your fave writers are gone for good:
1. “Part 2??”
Unlike TikTok, writing 5,000 words for a fic does not happen in 6 seconds or more. Weekly updates are from a writer who spoils you and is passionate about their story. Don’t kill the passion by demanding for more and not appreciate what’s already given.
2. The DC Conundrum
Many writers on this platform hail back from the ff.net days where dark content is a norm, not like TikTok where even death has to be censored or you could get flagged.
Despite that, writers are doing you a service by sharing fic warnings despite how it may take away from a plot twist or a big reveal. However, there’s a fine line between sharing warnings and downright spoiling our own work. Heed the warnings, don’t be a dick. If you don’t like it, don’t read it. Learn how to filter your own content, too, while you're at it.
3. The Wild Algorithm
Unlike TikTok, Tumblr’s FYP is not in your face and you have a choice to not view it. Content often gets buried a few days after it’s posted without reblogs or comments to keep it alive.
4. Passive Content Consumption
Ties back with point #1. If you’re only sitting back and reading works without supporting the writers, they can’t spend 6 seconds to conjure up a fic. Writing takes time, editing, proofreading. Tumblr is a book club, not a delivery service.
5. De(constructive) Criticism
If an opinion isn’t asked for, don’t give it. Many writers choose this craft for their own enjoyment and to share a thought or story about a beloved character to those who love them, too. If an opinion is asked? Be kind when you share it across to them. No one likes their hard work to be shat on by someone who doesn’t understand the time and effort it took to create this piece.
6. Are You My Content Machine?
Again, back to point #1. Writers have busy lives. There are days when we want to scream into the void about our favourite characters. We want to share our thoughts about them or sometimes, we just want to talk about what happened during lunch break. Demanding and expecting that a writer post content without giving a shit about the soul behind the screen? Dehumanizing.
Don’t ruin the experience for those of us who are still here. Do your part to make fandom better for everyone.
