We are pleased to note the continued survival of this meme to the point that it, too, is Old As Balls

Old As Balls was posted on the day of the Ides of March??? How more Tumblr can you be???

[galaxymagitech]

We’re really having a holiday alignment this weekend. Purim, Holi, and Pi Day are all today. And then tomorrow we have the Ides of March. And on Monday is St. Patrick’s Day. And pretty much this entire month is Ramadan.

somehow instead of saying "as a treat", I've started using the phrase "for morale", as if my body is a ship and its crew, and I (the captain) have to keep us in high spirits, lest we suffer a mutiny in the coming days.

and so I will eat this small block of fancy cheese, for morale. I will take a break and drink some tea, for morale. I will pick up that weird bug, for morale.

I'm not sure if it helps, but it does entertain me

[sockdreams]

We often eat pie at work...for morale.

[eerian-sadow]

"As a treat" implies a special occasion, a temporary state. "For morale" makes the joy essential, because you have to have good morale to keep going.

[fiendofafriend]

we have to stab caesar.

for morale.

I was explaining to my mom about how tumblr is excited for the ides of march tomorrow, and celebrating the assassination of a corrupt politician etc. etc. and she goes, "Oh! So what do we wear!"

And I said, "IDK a knife?"

And she said, "Ohh, I don't think I can get away with that at the conference. But I know, I'll draw a picture of a knife and carry it around in my pocket and get a giggle out of it whenever I look in my pocket!"

Anyway my mom's brilliant and I think we should all carry paper knives tomorrow.

Wow, Tumblr is fuckin' HYPE for the Ides of March this year. I wonder why that could possibly be.

super simple low-effort ao3 summary methods that are 1000% better and 1000% less annoying than just saying you suck at summaries:

copypaste the first few lines of the fic. u already wrote ‘em. let ‘em be their own damn hook

if ur feeling fancy & don’t mind showing ur hand a bit, copypaste the first few lines of the fic that u feel are esp. Important or Interesting - the ones where u first start getting into the real meat of things

state the main tropes! theyre probably already in ur tags - just say them again - maybe as a full sentence if ur feelin fancy. or with a joke if ur feelin Extra fancy

ask a question. pose a hypothetical. eg what happens if u take [character] and put them in [situation]?

make an equation. [character] + [thing] = [outcome]

just write like a one-sentence summary of what the fuck is going down. just one (1) sentence. doesnt matter if it doesn’t cover every important aspect. or if it sounds bland. any summary sentence is gonna be miles better than “idk i suck at summaries”

just…explain the fic like u would to a friend? it doesnt have to be a polished back of the book blurb. it can just be “[pairing] coffee shop au, but like, still with murder, and also i made everyone trans. enjoy”

just stick a meme in there

honestly who cares

just put literally anything but a self deprecating comment in there & ur golden

#it’s okay if you even have to spoil a little bit of the early plot twists#set the lure; cast the net [x]

[tanoraqui]

I’m a particular fan of using the first few sentences, or the lightly-edited-to-be-snappier first few sentences, because those SHOULD be a compelling hook anyway, and thinking “how will this read as a fic summary or chapter teaser” makes me write them better.

Gender came up to Hawkeye and he either said "Oh none for me, thank you, I amn just a litle Thing. A creacher, if you will."

Or

And I just...I don't know man. I don't know
