my wife, upon learning that pubes can be straight: Thats not bush,,, thats just grass
it would be kinda cool if hollywood being shut down had the side effect (besides hopefully getting everyone better working conditions ofc) of getting some non US movies and shows a bit more of a platform again outside the US, cause why the fuck is there like mostly only hollywood in much of the world, i love the chokehold US imperialism has on pop culture, it's great
this also goes out to everyone being like "waaahh there will be NO MOVIES and NO SHOWS what am i going to WATCH" like girlie, this is a US strike, u have a whole worlds worth of rly fucking good entertainment to watch. ur missing out, get out of ur comfort zone, watch some weird ass local european movie with questionable subs, go watch that thai tv drama, this is the perfect excuse to check out anime if uve considered it "cringe" so far, there is the whole world of bollywood too! and there is so much shit i dont even know about thats out there just waiting for you to watch it and blorbofy!
looking at a new fantasy world
ask the creator if it's hard or soft
they don't understand
I pull out an illustrated diagram explaining what is hard and what is soft
they laugh and say "it's a good fantasy world sir"
it's soft
Exactly. We want our fantasy worlds to be rock solid.
I don't actually have a diagram but I can give you my best explanation.
Hard Fantasy vs Soft Fantasy is basically the difference between how strict the rules are.
In a hard fantasy world the rules of that world are thoroughly defined. Some exampes would be they take into account geological movement and activity when drawing the map and the shape of each landmass. They provide a reasoning and cost for why magic works the way it works.
In soft fantasy the details of how and why and rules aren't as important as tone and aesthetics. Similar example being continents look however the author drew them up to be and for whatever reason. Magic is a concept that doesn't have many set rules if it even has them.
So soft fantasy is the boundaries are blurry and less defined and some people like that, and hard fantasy is thr boundaries are clear and well defined and others also like that. Both are equally valid and accomplish different things.
Okay people in the notes seem to pretty exclusively be thinking that by "rules" you mean just the magic system, and because of that they're calling Lord of the Rings soft and like, I need to tell you all that Lord of the Rings has so many rules. JRR created multiple entire languages. The Silmarilion is just a novel-length collection of worldbuilding notes. Magic is not the be-all end-all of whether something is hard or soft fantasy. Something can be hard fantasy but still have a soft magic system, it's not black and white

i start a new wip and it’s like there’s new life in everything. every song on my playlist has a new meaning. every sentence i write feels expertly crafted and entirely innovative. in about 3k words i’m going to start crying about how everything i’ve ever written is horrible and terribly derivative. i fucking love writing
motherfucker said PROFESSIONAL
do you think it'll all be okay?
yeah. even if it won’t i’ve got people to love in the meantime

You cannot hide this in the tags, bestie. This is too lovely to keep a secret.
found you!

so i have a mildly popular “reblog and put in in the tags” post going around and its. very clear how many people don’t know how to interact with a tumblr post
so, first of all, tumblr’s culture has changed a lot in the past couple years. there’s a genuine community effort to not start any drama, and ironically a lot of the current hostility is an effort to keep things calm. there’s also a change in how people interact with posts, so if you haven’t been here in a while please skip down to the tags/replies/reblog with text section.
for newcomers: you should be reblogging posts about as liberally as you would like something on twitter. if you only like stuff, people will think you are rude/a bot. you’ve probably heard people talk about “cultivating your dash,” and thats because this platform is 100% centered around your dashboard. trending matters less, unfollowing and blocking in order to shape your dash into it’s best form is widely accepted, the majority of the content you’ll find and interact with will be because of your dash, and the only way to put things on your dash is to reblog them. tumblr users are deeply distrustful of algorithms and have largely turned off the “see posts your friends have liked” function (i recommend you also turn of the various algorithms in settings → general settings → dashboard preferences).
so, once you’ve reblogged a post, there’s three ways to add content to it. the tags, replies, and reblogging with text. all of them have different connotations
the tags: an inside voice. originally they were meant for organizing your blog (and they’re still used for this), but they’ve also morphed into a way to share thoughts that aren’t funny/insightful enough for non-followers to be interested in. when in doubt, put your comment in the tags
replies: basically talking to your friends in class. your followers have no way of finding your replies (they don’t pop up on the dash, nobody gets notified except for the original poster) so chances are, only the person who made the post is gonna see your comment. it’s for quick one-offs that you’re okay with other people overhearing, but really is only made for one person. they’re like a public dm
reblog with text: an outside voice. you’re getting up on a stage in town square and entertaining people. make sure it’s funny or insightful— bottom line, add something new to the conversation. you should use this the least
general rules of thumb:
when in doubt, reblog. people will judge you if your blog is only personal posts and you only interact with other content by liking it.
the only things people will judge you for reblogging are personal vent posts. leave a like to give a little virtual hug
if a post is asking about your personality/opinions (i.e: tell me what’s the last tv show you watched, that kind of thing) put it in the tags
also if you see a nice edit, gifset, or art, reblog and say something nice in the tags! it’s that nice sweet spot of common enough that no one will notice but uncommon enough to make the artist’s day
Finally real advice for new users. This is a solid guide for how to make the transition from Twitter to Tumblr.
In particular, artists need you to reblog. A reblog helps them get seen. A like doesn’t help them at all.
Fandom is not about cancellable opinions it’s about sharing and spreading art and fics and gif sets and poetry and showering each other in praise and tearing up because someone said something nice about a thing you made and writing posts that say reblog to give the person you reblogged this from a kiss on the forehead actually

Certain words can change your brain forever and ever so you do have to be very careful about it.
