I haven’t read prototype so I lowk thought that the first panel was Ayaka’s father for some reason because the only thing I know about prototype is the CE where Ayaka has a bunch of crows around her

Took a solid like 2 minutes to realize that the panel is probably the master of False rider in strange fake instead 😭

[nero-draco]

No it is Ayaka's father, the panel from Fate Prototype Blue Fragments Manga.

[mooncellofficial]

WAIT I WAS RIGHT!?????

omg

I didn’t know prototype had a manga that’s sick

I’ll go check it out

Tyy

[nero-draco]

Yes, there's fan translation of it but I haven't checked when the last time its updated.

Slimegirl who uses herself like kintsugi lacquer and the ever-growing collection of dolls she has found broken and discarded, each one of them lovingly repaired, made whole again and beautiful and yet indelibly changed, never again composed entirely of themselves. Slimegirl who seeks out the unwanted and damaged, who shatters what was only cracked, who rasps away the harshest edges and throws away the smallest shards, and who then fills in the breaks in another's being with herself. Slimegirl surrounded by dolls who will always bear the mark of exactly who made them this way.

functionally suicidal character saying “I would die for you” to their significant other and its like. I get the sentiment, honey, but if a hot dog vendor told me he’d sell hot dogs for me, I wouldn’t feel very moved now would I

[maseratus]

Now a functionally suicidal character saying “I will live for you”. Now that’s a dynamic I can sink my teeth into.

now how about a functionally suicidal character saying "I will sell hot dogs for you"

COLUGOS MY BELOVEDS

I LOVE THIS PLANET SO MUCH

[chamomileharborseal]

colugos are amazing!! there are only two species of them and they’re found in southeast Asia. they may resemble bats, but they’re in their own order (Dermoptera) and their closest relatives are primates!

they’re also sometimes referred to as flying lemurs which is funny because they neither fly nor are lemurs :) they ARE able to glide though, and they eat fruit, leaves, and flowers. their incisors are super cool and have grooves that help them feed and also groom themselves!!! they are so interesting and amazing and more people need to know about them!!!!!!!!

that translation is accurate except for that last part. pflegestufe doesnt really translate to a state of need, its moreso means that the weed would leave you disabled in a way that makes you legally eligible for care or assistance

john green didn’t “deserve” the way that early ‘10s tumblr treated him technically, but I feel like the discussion around whether he “deserved” it or not is completely missing the point. he was an adult in a space that was largely recreationally used by teenagers. why would he not get the substitute teacher treatment. what else did you think would occur here.

[lierdumoa]

Early ‘10s tumblr was the indie porn capital of the internet. Tumblr porn reshaped and democratized the internet porn landscape at the height of the sex positivity movement. There is literally a book about this:

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/56143249-tumblr-porn

Now if you’re wondering why I felt the sudden need to dredge up this post from 2022, it’s because of a couple other posts I won’t go into now that reminded me of it.

This post is a prime example of how casually and insidiously we can re-write history. When the OP made this post so many people in the notes nodded along, acting as though it were an obvious, incontrovertible truth that Tumblr in the late aughts/early ‘10s was a wholesome safe space for children, and it was therefore normal and natural in the tumblr culture of that time to treat adults as unwelcome interlopers.

But that’s not an obvious, incontrovertible truth.

It’s a complete rewriting of history.

It’s a brazen, boldfaced lie.

Or it would be, if I thought OP were lying intentionally. But actually I don’t thing they were. I think this might actually be how OP (mis)remembers tumblr. OP painted a pastel colored soft focus filter over their childhood memories without even realizing that’s what they were doing. And it’s fine if the way you like to remember something is different from the way it actually happened. But it stops being fine when you start using your fabricated whitewashed sanitized memories as “evidence” when crafting an argument, thinking no one will bother to fact check you.

I’m bothering.

Tumblr was an adult space from its inception. Teens were never tumblr’s primary or target demographic at any point in its existence.

[lierdumoa]

[brazenautomaton]

@lierdumoa OP didn’t say it was wholesome and safe? OP said it was used primarily by teenagers and that teenagers acted the way they acted around substitute teachers. There was no implication of wholesomeness or family-friendly shit. And it’s true? Teens were Tumblr’s core demographic. They were cruel in exactly the way high schoolers were cruel. The Social Justice Movement is primarily concerned with the things cruel teenagers care about, like bullying the weak and screaming at each other about fandom, because its architects were all teenagers on tumblr in the early 2010s. Superwholock was all teenagers and Dashcon was attended by teenagers and yourfaveisproblematic was a teenager and Homestuck fans were teenagers. So many of Tumblr’s most famous shit that never happened stories were made up by teenagers who didn’t understand anything about the world to make their story plausible. Teenagers fell for infinite chocolate and teenagers fell for Gan’s Syndrome and teenagers fell for every other fucking thing you can think of. Maybe early 2010s Tumblr was the indie porn capital of the Internet, but it was also the capital of teenager cruelty, built on raging emotions and self-righteousness from people with no sense of scale or proportion or restraint. You’d frequently see teenagers getting self-righteous about the implication they shouldn’t be looking at or writing porn! Like all the time!

Tumblr’s primary audience was teenagers, who behaved like teenagers. That’s it. Anything else about this being sanitized is something you imagined. Tumblr was a high school cafeteria, and there is nothing pastel soft focus about that.

[deadgenerations]

tumblr in the john green age was mostly highschoolers, in fact it was so full of teenagers that it had a perennial problem with child porn in part because these very horny underage teens kept posting naked pictures of themselves on this website. I mean, basically every long time user on this website started their blog while they were minors! source: I was there as one of the horny underage teen bloggers.

And john green was clearly trying to connect with the teens here, because they were the intended audience of his fucking novels. he didn’t come here to hang out with adult sex workers

what a bizarre hill to be sanctimonious on.

[phaeton-flier]

So the point here is less about the exact fraction of teenagers to adults and more to point out that this wasn’t purely a kids playpen at the McDonalds and thus John Green being here wasn’t inherently questionable. John Green trying to have a blog for his target demographic didn’t mean he should “deserve to get the substitute teacher treatment”, if that means anything besides “I can say whatever I want about him and you can’t point out that’s cruel”

[evilsoup]

in the 2010s tumblr was spoken about in news articles in the same breath as twitter and facebook. mainstream political parties, documentary series, movies, etc, had official tumblr accounts. An author having an account here was equivalent to an author having a twitter account, i.e. completely normal.

[cathkaesque]

There was a while where all of the Labour Party’s press releases were hosted via Tumblr

[derinthescarletpescatarian]

Also if you’re editing your substitute teacher’s statements to make it look like he’s telling the class how much he likes cock and doxxing him to the point where he stops working at your school because you’ve made him scared for the actual physical safety of his family, you should be expelled.

[panic-attack-imminent]

Yeah, this last point is really what is important. Regardless of whether Tumblr was mostly kids, mostly adults, or (more likely) a pretty equal mixture of the two, is absolutely immaterial. The point is that a man was harassed, doxxed, had incriminating false rumors spread about him, feared for his and his family’s safety, all because some people thought he was “cringe.”

The cock monologue was not giving him the “substitute teacher treatment” (whatever the fuck that means), nor was any of the other heinous shit.

[derinthescarletpescatarian]

#also the cock monologue was just blatantly homophobic too (“haha man who likes sucking dick is soooOOooOo funny!”)#like sorry to rain on y'alls parade but that shit was never funny and was always lame and loser behavior
