there is, in fact, a "platonic explanation for this" if you're not a coward
its so fun to see the diversity of tags on this ranging from "they're literally just standing next to each other" to "deep bonds dont have to be romantic/sexual!" to "yeah friends can fuck nasty, platonically. coward." we're all so correct, there are, in fact, a million platonic explanations for this
It's a unique type of frustration when you agree that a character is deeply flawed but other people keep missing what's actually wrong with them and assigning them new flaws that they don't even have it's like free my man he did none of that. He did a bunch of other shit tho.
when people put "trigger warning" on their content without specifying what the trigger warning is for
this post contains notes
does it?
does it though?
Fuck is going on here

obsessed with how tumblr just sometimes Does This
he let HER drive the truck? he never let me drive the truck btw. if you even care
the reason so many characters who "use humor to mask the pain" or "are assholes with hearts that care DEEP down" are mischaracterized in fan content is because fans would like to explore the more vulnerable side implied but not shown all the time in the source, but in doing so forget the outer layer the character actually acts like most of the time, which then echoes as fans begin to immerse themselves in fan content exclusively without going back to the source for a long time. that is to say that you cant separate the outside self a character presents to others from their inner self and insecurities they are and have inside - they may have issues, but theyre still funny and/or an asshole
spotify you better get the most together youve ever togethered
bestie, what are the chances we get a 1:58 surprise?
OH GOD i hadn’t even thought about this possibility
Queer as in gay, yes, but most importantly, queer as in unusual, strange, creepy, odd..
character playlists aren’t for songs a character would listen to they are for songs that remind me of the character
“x wouldn’t listen to this” yeah no shit this is for when i want to listen to my shitty songs and think about my favorite little characters
"You can't be a lurker on tumblr." Yes, you absolutely can. I've been quietly reblogging things since 2014 and I haven't interacted with anyone in years.
friendly reminder for the new twitter refugees:
change your icon/pfp and put something coherent in your blog description or you're going to get blocked bcs people think you're a bot
this site is built around reblogs, so please actually reblog posts(especially art and fics!!)
you can set your likes and follows to private
checkmarks here are a meme and mean nothing
follower counts are private and we like it that way, so get used to not judging people by that metric
drama and discourse is boring, use your blacklist and block button liberally
DON'T CENSOR YOURSELF!! we can swear and say kill and make fun of corporations all we want, and if you tiktok-ify your tags people who have things blacklisted for whatever reason will still see them, and people who want to see that content won't be able to find it!! spell words out normally, you won't get in trouble!!
tumblr live is sketchy as hell and full of fake accounts, if you decide to use it anyway may god have mercy on your soul o7
be nice to the reddit refugees, they're our friends <3
question: do ppl ACTUALLY say things they don’t mean when they’re angry? or is that just an excuse after letting something true slip? i wouldn’t ever say something i don’t mean in anger, so the concept confuses me.
but something was said to me that is bothering me, though apparently was said in an argument and wasn’t meant. but i don’t rlly believe it wasn’t like, deep down true thoughts/feelings??? anyone have any insight? anyone say things they don’t mean in anger?
To my understanding (also autistic lol), there’s two things people mean when they say this, whether they know it:
1. “I said something I didn’t mean to say and I’m sorry I said it.” There are lots of things people leave unsaid because they know it’s unfair, irrational, or unnecessarily hurtful. Also lots of things that are just hurtful, so it’s a mixed bag
2. “I made a dumb leap of logic because my angry brain wasn’t working like my calmed brain.” This can apply to projection (“Why are you mad at me?”), paranoia (“I just know you’re about to break up with me.”), jumping to conclusions (“Oh, you just want to run off to that friend of yours, don’t you?”), etc etc
I think people usually mean the former but the latter definitely exists. Hope this helps
I'm not autistic but I have been in plenty of very angry arguments and so I can tell you that there is a Secret Third Thing™, which is "I said something not because I actually believe it's true but because I was angry and wanted to hurt you."
You'd be surprised at how often that one happens.
Theres also "i said something that was true *in the moment*, but this does not reflect how I feel 99% of the time". Think kids screaming that they hate you before storming off.
Bruce’s mental state is looking great
Read the details first please. Would you rather spend eight hours with:
A group of Reddit-user atheists
A group of Catholics
A group of Protestants
A group of new-age crystal users
A group of American anglophiles
A group of diverse girlboss multilevel marketers
A group of vegans who cannot point to Chile on a map
A group of Revolutionary War reenactors
A group of Gen Z influencers from Los Angeles
A group of white retirees from Seattle
None of them are gonna be physically violent
The Reddit users are going to judge you if you express any religious or “unscientific” sentiment
The Catholics run the gamut from “hardcore pro-lifer” to “Nun who invented communism”
The Protestants have brought lots of food but are going to proselytize the entire time you eat
The crystalists are split 60/40 on whether or not vaccines cause autism, and you don’t know who has the majority until you’ve been there an hour
The Anglophiles have good pastries, but 1/3 of them are in Sherlock cosplay
The girlbosses are all within 10° to the left of the center of the political spectrum and will try very hard to get you to invest in their MLM
The vegans brought food but will turn hostile if you let slip that you’ve used animal products in the last year
The reenactors have booze, but your phone is dead and they’re giving a very pro-America history lecture
The influencers have a pool, a jacuzzi, and lots of drugs, but they have a combined net worth that teaches seven digits and won’t let you forget it
The retirees have great weed but they’re gonna ask you a lot of invasive questions and give you a lot of unsolicited advice.

don't answer this if you don't want to, but i have a question re: your masking at pride post -- hardly anyone masks where i live, and me alone wearing a mask at the parade won't make it accessible to immunocompromised people. the parade is always pretty small and outdoors, so risk factors aren't exactly through the roof. besides lowering the already-low risk for me and the people adjacent to me, what would choosing to mask do, exactly?
this is a very good and valid question, thanks for asking! having everyone masked would be much preferable, but i think that masking is still worthwhile even when you're the only one doing it. some reasons why:
i think a lot of people, understandably, think in terms of risk level and you have to in some ways. something is relatively low-risk, so we feel more comfortable doing it. this shorthand lets us make decisions without getting too much decision fatigue, or stopping ourselves from being able to do anything. however i think we often don't pull ourselves out of this vague hypothetical into the actual reality of covid. the fact that something overall is lower risk is not going to matter if the person you just talked to for 5 min is infected, or you are asymptomatic and just talked to 20 people. then suddenly, you have covid, or half of those other 20 people have covid, and that's that. it's not really a consolation then that the activity was "low risk." all it takes is ONE person. i think we often don't think about that because frankly it's scary. but covid is scary. i try to use risk levels to determine if i will do something, but not if i will mask.
while high-quality masks give some protection to the wearer for a certain amount of time, masks primarily protect others. it's hard to wrap your head around the fact that you feel fine, but could have covid and be asymptomatic because that's not intuitive! but it's true, you really could be the person at the event who is infected, and if you wear a mask you're helping protect those around you in case you are. obviously it's better if everyone does this, but it's still worthwhile to do what is in your control.
mask-wearing is a collective effort, and although it's true that most likely, other people will not be masking, it's one of those things where it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy to operate from that assumption. if everyone assumes that, then nobody will mask even if maybe they would if it was standard practice. it's kind of like voting - "i'm just one vote, it won't matter if i don't vote".. but if 50k people all think that and don't vote, well now it does matter collectively.
you wearing a mask may inspire others to rethink their masking. maybe next week they decide to wear a mask to the doctor's office, not knowing they got infected from this event. but since they wore a mask, the immunocompromised person who sits near them in the waiting room doesn't get infected.
every one of these little instances matters. if you don't get covid, you won't spread it to your family, someone at the grocery store, someone at work. they won't then spread it to their family, their friend, someone in line at the bank. who won't spread it to their family - on and on. it cuts off one line of the circulation. and any one of those people may have otherwise gotten long covid, or been immunocompromised and faced severe illness or death. if it prevents even one of those cases, that changes the entire trajectory of that person's life, even though they'll never know. it matters.
anything you can do to not get covid, or not get covid again, is very important to your health. each time you get covid your chances of developing long covid increase dramatically. this will be around for a while, and we need to be in it for the long haul or we'll most certainly end up with long covid after 3, 5, 10 more years and however many infections that brings. (unless, fingers crossed, we get some new scientific breakthrough) i think people severely underestimate their odds of getting sick, and overestimate their ability to get better. there are currently no approved treatments for long covid. doctors are not like House where they obsess over your case until it's solved and you go home fixed. for the most part, they can do nothing for you. do you have people who could take care of you? can you financially handle cutting to 60% income on disability? can you mentally handle not being able to work, see friends, leave your house, leave your bed? (not saying this in a snippy way, but wanting people to really consider these questions. this is the reality of being sick. non-disabled people can choose to put this out of their minds and pretend it could never happen to them; disabled people have no choice but to live in the reality because it's our life.)
I'm a "multiple interpretations of a character are valid" person until I see an interpretation that explicitly contradicts canon and then I start chewing on the drywall.
Me: "they are fictional characters and you can have whatever thoughts or interpretations you like! You may be close to the creators intent, you may not! What does it matter! There is joy in the exploration alone"
Also me: blorbo would not fucking say that
“This character is multi-faceted and has many valid interpretations of them, but there are also aspects of them that are so set in stone that if you take them away, you’re basically talking about a totally different character.”
