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!!!!

As much as I hate to say this because this hellsite is a big part of my life, I think we should all participate in this. And you know what, it’s actually because this hellsite means so much to me that I think we should do this. post+ will hurt content creators and possibly shut down tumblr itself (though they’re much better protected than we could ever be). Don’t use post+. Use the link above and find when you should log off to help

I’m usually 100% against blackouts, but i’m happy to take part in this one.

[nuggsmum]

I feel like they’re aware of our displeasure so much to the fact that they had to post a ‘dont bully our betas’ on their page (seriously, don’t. Don’t be that guy.) but it can’t hurt to continue to let them know how horrible this idea is. They’re gonna do it anyways but at least we can try.

It’s weird how people treat Bucky as the mysterious and secretive one within Sambucky when you can look at him for like two seconds and deduce everything you need to know about him. Sad boi, traumatic past, doesn’t like talking about it, quiet, frustrated, you better don’t interact with him unless he lets you.

Sam Wilson on the other hand? I have no clue what’s going on in his head most of the time. (I mean… I kind of do, as a viewer. But I’m not sure the characters he encounters are just as informed.) He seems like a pretty positive, optimistic person, but there are so many moments when he just looks desperate and on the verge of tears. Like he’s not sure anything will ever work in his favour. He doesn’t talk much about his emotions or his past unless it’s very relevant - and he does that mainly to connect with other people through shared experience. That’s why he mentioned Riley’s death. Or his aunt… who also died.

Karli called him a hopeless optimist. But is he an optimist? I wouldn’t say so. He likes joking and smiles… relatively often… but that’s it. For me he seems more like a realist who knows when he can get the job done to fix a problem. And he fixes a lot of problems. It seems like he helps other people all the time, so you might think he’s just selfless. But his desperate attempts to keep the family boat against Sarah’s protests were pretty selfish. (Objectively. I’m not judging him here.) Giving the shield away was not exatly selfish (he had every right to do so), but he still didn’t listen to anyone telling him to take up the mantle, because he didn’t want to, end of discussion.

For people like Walker he seems like a sidekick and a “wingman”. Someone who followed Steve around. But he didn’t. Sam made all the decisions himself - in ca:tws Steve even discouraged him from joining the fight. He went and fought anyway. Even Bucky, who knew Sam way longer than Walker, just assumed that he went against the Accords, because Steve did. But Sam formed his opinion first - it just happened to align with Steve’s. And how can he be a sidekick who just follows other people when during just his second conversation with Steve he said he likes working at the VA, because there’s no one above him giving him orders and that’s nice?

“Sam is the rational one!” - says the fandom. …Sam kicked a fucking helicopter mid-flight. And jumped into one almost falling into the rotor.

“Sam is stubborn and will hold a grudge for a long time” - says the fandom (or at least the part of it who clearly dislikes the guy). … Meanwhile, Sam helped Tony find Steve right after he was shot by him in the face for an accident that was not Sam’s fault. And he helped Vision in Infinity War even thought he was part of said accident. He still talks with Rhodey like they’re okay and nothing happened. And he tried to become friends with Barnes after he almost killed him three times. (As the Winter Soldier, but still.)

Zemo didn’t expect Sam to not hesitate about rejecting the serum.

Karli was surprised by Sam’s character. Later she was suprised again and disappointed that he (of all people) decided to become the new Captain. Isaiah didn’t expect him to take the shield either. But he did take it and Isaiah had to admit he was wrong about Sam after he heard his speech.

“I never said pilot ;)” … Yeah, I know. You never did, Sam. Because you say so little about yourself. And it’s so vague and carefully selected.

“He speaks Arabic…” Yeah, Torres. I was surprised too.

— —– —

This whole show (and Sam’s entire story in the MCU) seems like it’s just a person after a person, after a person making assumptions about Sam and then realizing that… Actually they were wrong the whole time. Either partially or complitely. 

Sam is so secretive about his own thoughts and feelings that he tricked everyone around him into thinking he’s an open book, so no one bothers to even ask any questions. Because they feel like they know him, but… Do they really?

And I can just imagine that the longer Sam and Bucky work and live together the more Bucky sees how other people misjudge his partner… all the damn time. (Just as he himself used to do.) They just assume Sam will let them do anything they want and he doesn’t. Or they assume they can give him orders and he’s like: “Subtle? Got it!” - and does whatever he planned, following only his own rules.

It must be pretty amusing to watch. And it probably feels like some kind of honour to actually get a chance to know the real Sam Wilson.

I know the “Like dogs, Shianni” its a pretty powerful and famous line, but Brosca’s “I am of no caste or clan, but I have defeated you all!” its pretty epic and very underrated imo.

So I didn’t expect the August with glasses post to be as big of a hit as it was. I had no idea that other people would love it as much as me! But I thought I’d share the ones I made with Marshall if anyone was curious about them.

It’s a whole different vibe from August, very tired puppy with reading glasses, but I loved it!

The point of playing D&D with a battle grid isn’t to help the wizard avoid fireballing their fellow party members – it’s so that when the wizard does fireball their fellow party members, they can’t claim it was an accident.

You really want to play DnD but, sadly, have no friends to play it with. That is why you’ve decided to use an Ouija board in order to find spirits who may be willing to play through your DnD campaign. 

[fairndsquare]

okay but like..... once you've already gotten past the weird stage of "what the fuck there's GHOSTS" and like... actually come to terms that your players are disembodied voices in your walls, it'll probably be hella interesting. like

playing dnd on the floor of your living room, surrounded by candles and various spare dnd supplies

you bought extra books that are now laying around the circle, along with the cheap felt dice trays and spare sets of dice

your living room looks like it should have been the set for a Halloween one shot, except it's a random ass tuesday night in april

and you conduct the game, speaking out loud to the whole room, directing your players through a dungeon.... except there's only you sitting on the floor

you direct one of your players, a half-orc barbarian, to make a dex saving throw and the sparkly pink dice set to your left shifts... the d20 is raised and swiftly dropped back down again in a roll. you see the candles around that tray dim slightly, and a disembodied voice echoes through the room...

"bloody hell! it's a 6" the lilting voice rings through the room, and you grimace slightly as the barbarian loses their footing and steps right into a trap.

a few of the other candles in the room get brighter as the faint sound of laughter floats around the room.

another session, your players are fighting a powerful sorcerer, and your half-elf rogue that's hurting badly does a hail mary, throwing her last dagger at the bitch and rolls a natural 20. you smile a bit as your player rolls the damage dice and gives you the number.

you smile a little wider and ask in the direction of the slime green dice set, "how would you like to kill him?"

every single candle in the room brightens into a lively little flame, and the glass of water next to you shudders slightly as your players collectively cheer about the bastard finally dying

but also:

shopping online for dice for your players to pick out, asking questions like "ichabod? blow out the candle on my left if you want the blue set. or the one of my right for green."

sure as the setting sun, the candle on your left gently flickers out

setting ground rules for your players, telling them to never look over your shoulder at the DM screen, and never look at your computer screen when you explicitly say you're working on dnd stuff, and holding them to the honor system.

getting to know the players behind the characters in the time between sessions, especially if you start playing music that is too loud or not to one's tastes, and then seeing the translucent rainbow dice shuffle in their tray to tell you which ghost is interacting with you.

getting into the habit of buying extra sets of dice of the same colors so you can have them all over your place so when one of them is communicating, their color-coded die will flick up and doll to tell you who's there

eventually the "signaling dice" become a sort of comfort for you. one time, when you're down, the dice all start shifting and rolling, making those sweet math rock sounds, and you know that your friends are there for you.

I like to pretend that one of Hawke’s potential Grey Warden contacts was in fact Anders depending on the world-state.

The jaw-dropping reveal so reminiscent to when you meet Anders in 2: his staff poised warningly and lightning-blue energy crackling around him until Hawke clears up the Inquisitor’s presence.

Anders calms and lowers his weapon, introducing himself. “Warden Anders - and arguably Warden Justice, as well.”

“Anders?” The Inquisitor can ask. “The Anders? The rebel apostate who blew up the Chantry in Kirkwall?”

“I’m also fantastic at the Remigold,” Anders would joke until his smile fell. “But yes, that is me. I had my reasons and I stand by them. We have other pressing concerns for the moment; Justice agrees that we cannot continue championing for mages’ rights when all of Thedas is threatened.”

The ability to question him and hear the story of him seeking redemption through helping the other Circles then rejoining the Wardens in protecting Thedas.

“I spent the years after Kirkwall helping mages rise up. But when I had done all I could do, Justice was still restless and there was only one place left I could think would use us. Once a Grey Warden, always a Grey Warden. I didn’t know if they would accept me, but it helped that I was initially conscripted by the Hero of Ferelden. The Warden-Commander still has pull within the Order and allowed me back into the fold with relative ease. Truthfully, the better part of being back was visiting my cat in Amaranthine.”

Also, depending on Legacy party choices, Anders would have had first-hand experience with Corypheus which would have been incredibly useful.

“I have already been subject to Corypheus’ false call. I know what to expect - and I’m stronger now than I was then.”

I like to imagine the potential companion dialogues, as well.

Varric: I thought you said he was away from all this mess, Hawke? Hawke: And miss seeing the look on your face? Not a chance. You’re not the only one able to keep secrets. Varric: Never kept them from you. Agh, I don’t know about this, Blondie. Anders: I wanted a round two sticking it to Corypheus. This time for good. What, didn’t you miss me? Varric: Let’s make a deal. You don’t blow up any more buildings and we’ll be copasetic, eh? Anders: I make no such promises. Varric: Hm. You know what I did miss? All that coin I was making off our Wicked Grace games. Too many cardsharps at Skyhold. 

Cassandra: – you! Anders: Careful, Seeker, I have protection under the Grey Wardens. Cassandra: We shall see. For your sake, I hope you have protection from the Maker, as well. Anders: Only He can judge me. Cassandra: I am certain He will.

I also enjoy thinking about Justice!Anders in the fade portion of the quest, just radiating spirit energy and making Anders’ face set in a perma-scowl.

Varric: Uh oh. Blondie’s gone blue, again. Hawke: I don’t know why you’re so concerned about that. Justice is the only one I trust in the Fade. He never betrayed me. Varric: (sigh) Ya sell your friend to a demon one time and they never let you live it down. Justice: ENOUGH BICKERING. THIS PLACE IS MIRED IN MALAISE. WE MUST MOVE FORWARD.

Also my angsty ass would love if even though you chose to sacrifice Hawke, romanced-Anders would not allow that. Hawke grabbed by his collar and thrust out of harm’s way, Anders flickering through the blue spirit energy and whispering “I’m sorry, love,” then Justice surging to the forefront as they charge at Nightmare.
