First time I see the full lyrics without it being take me to snurch (snail church)
What really makes this for me is that OP could have phoned it in on the chorus and just repeated the same fics, but no. They found a unique one every time. Class act.
Oh my god I was just looking to see how much a copy of Hamlet would be through Barnes and Noble and PEOPLE ARE ROLEPLAYING WARRIOR CATS IN THE REVIEWS??????
@vriska
ok i was VERY involved in the. b&n reviews warrior cats roleplay scene when i was like 10-12. the first two books of the series were general hubs where ppl would post ads for their clans and other groups. there was a huge percy jackson community i remember participating in too. it worked through search results, eg. riverclan might be under the search result “rivers”. book 1 was rules and a “map”, book 2 might be the main area, book 3 the medicine cats tent, etc. there was also usually a book where ppl would post lengthy descriptions of their character(s). it was a rlly bizarre little corner of the internet jdksj also it was impossible to find any real reviews of any of the warrior cats books bc of it
this is unironically kind of cool
I rbed this silently but I think I've gotta answer some questions now. I was a big part of this whole thing and the reason we didn't use forums was because 90% of us didn't have normal internet access. Barnes and Noble had an e-reader that could connect to the internet and reach their digital store, which was great for those of us with controlling parents who only let us read books.
In order to put some sort of a limit to my uncontrollable habit of inhaling hummus at financially unfortunate speeds, I decided I'm going to get bell peppers and use the hummus as vegetable dip. So for every jar of hummus I eat, I'm going to have to chop a vegetable, and will also have to eat a vegetable. And it works, which I find supremely annoying. And just as I'm chopping my second pepper of the day, a mockingly sing-song voice in my head goes
Oooh, look at me, I am mr. Fancypants, my hummus spoon is a ~vegetable~
And first and foreremost I have to ask myself why the hell is my internal narration voiced by Homer Simpson.
I'm... I'm not going to lie, here: I'm a little disturbed by the implication that you weren't dipping anything in the hummus and were just eating whole containers with a spoon like pudding cups.
Reblogs in a chain now get their own notes
The reblog chain is one of the things that makes Tumblr unlike anywhere else. All the notes on reblogs are attributed to the original post, no matter which branch people actually liked or reblogged. We want to keep encouraging conversations, and give contributors the recognition they deserve.Â
Soon, you'll be able to like, reblog, or reply to any part of a reblog chain, and that note will go to that reblog's author. Each reblog will have its own counts, instead of one aggregated number from every version of the post. And yes, you’ll be able to like multiple posts in one chain.
If a reblog doesn't add anything, the love flows up to the last person in the chain who did. Your post doesn't lose notes just because people spread it quietly.
Past notes will stay on the original post — we're only changing what happens from here on out. Retroactively re-attributing all of them would be... a lot.
This is just the beginning. More changes are coming as we keep building this out – stay tuned!
Let's talk about reblog notes.
We rolled out a significant change to how notes work on reblogs, and the reaction has been strong. We're not going to pretend otherwise.Â
First things first: We're reversing the change. Your feedback in comments, emails, and especially reblogs, made clear that the rollout created problems we need to address before moving forward. We also should have communicated this differently from the start, and we didn't.
We still believe there's a better version of how reblogs can work. One that gives every voice in a chain the credit it deserves. But we want to get there with you.
In the coming days we'll share more on how we plan to do that, including ways to work directly with some of you on this and future changes before they ship.
Keep an eye on @staff for updates to come soon.Â
Genuinely thankful that staff is taking the backlash into account. I hope whatever changes are made are improvements.
I think I speak for a lot of people when I say that our biggest concern is how this change would have affected the ability to track and curate interactions with our own posts. This change could have emboldened the worst impulses of this website.
All this said, the idea of having a little reblog button for each addition to a post is not a bad idea, and makes it easier to reblog long posts with potentially unwanted additions. My only concern is clearly marking where a post "ends" but this is just a visual quibble, a far cry from the sweeping fundamental change to Tumblr that was originally proposed. Looking forward to a version of this that works for everyone.
Okay, so according to this post, @staff says they're listening to us, so...
Sound off, Tumblr! How do you feel about the latest update to the reblog and notes?
Hate it. đź‘Ž
Like it. đź‘Ť
No nuance. Go ahead and reblog the crap out of this.
Since some of you don't seem to understand how this 'new notes' thing works, I'll break it down:
I'm the OP. I'm making this post. If you like, comment, reblog (without comment) on this post, then I'm the one who will see all those notes in my activity page.
However...
If you reblog (with comment), I will get a notification that you did that, but any likes/comments/reblogs (without comment) you get on that reblog will only be shown to you. As OP I won't see them.
If someone adds a reblog (with comment) to your reblog...as OP I won't see that. I won't see any of those notes in my activity page.
Basically, if someone with a large following makes a comment, then they will get all the notes and OP will see nothing. If OP has said something silly because they're, y'know, 21 and it happens, and then someone reblogs it onto the dash of someone with a large following who then dunks on them for fun? OP doesn't see it, doesn't get notes for it, but they're gonna get the harrassment for it in their inbox.
If I, someone with a 5 digit follower count, reblog something to correct misinformation on Ancient Egypt, then OP will never see it unless it was on the original post, but I will continue to get notes on that post even though it's not my post. If I reblog fanart, or just art in general, with a comment like 'Oh this is so lovely!' then OP will not see any of the notes from people reblogging it from me. They'll only see my reblog. So it's possible for an art post by someone else to have 200 notes for them, but 9000 for someone who reblogs it with a comment, and the OP artist will have no idea it's been seen by that many people.
It's killing blow to the community we've built here, by someone higher up who doesn't understand that being able to see all the comments and reblogs is what makes this site the place I keep coming back to.
That's what sucks.
I encourage people to go to tumblr's support page, select contact support, and then in the dropdown menu select 'Feedback' and leave polite and constructive feedback (for those of you who enjoy 'emails worded politely but are a strong 'are you an idiot?', try that way of wording it). They're more likely to listen to you if you're not an asshole about it. I've already gone and done this, and I hope others will too.
like but... it's not the trope, it's how it's deployed, right. i hate a stupid miscommunication plotline just like the rest of y'all. if a single text message could resolve the situation, i often find it more aggravating than suspenseful. and we have all seen it used lazily! we have all seen a "miscommunication" that relies on all characters involved being suddenly stupid as fuck.
but miscommunication is a fucking incredible plot device, it just needs to be used well. because yeah, maybe it could be resolved with a single hey i just wanted to check in about what you said text.
but why isn't she texting that, actually. what shape do her hands make around the phone. does she open and close the messaging app, does she just doomscroll. maybe she can't even really figure out why she's upset - what she heard broke her heart. too much is happening in her life and she decides it's not her fucking job to constantly fucking be the hey just checking in friend. why can't they do it, for fucking once, she is always fixing things first. she is working with her therapist on her fawn response. and fuck them, honestly.
and they don't know she misunderstood, only that she pulled away suddenly. and the thing is that they didn't realize how familiar she was, how wonderful - and she's suddenly dropped them now, which makes sense, because they're a terrible person. everyone does this, right? once other people see how they really are - a void of a person - they are left alone again. so they don't text, either. they leave the phone at home while they go get drunk again. lights and music and dancing, skating over the frozen lake of their own heart, avoiding it. if they look too hard at it, fuck they miss her, she was the only fucking thing they have left. but it's not fair to her. she's setting a boundary, they need to respect it.
and the distance like a banner between them. her anger at their happy-go-lucky instagram stories; because of course they're out there fucking partying as if she wasn't ever important. their spiral that is the same spiral it always is, self-destructive and vapid, their heart empty in her absence. she pulls back further, they lash out - fucking stay away. neither one comes to their shared friend's birthday. and it's fine, right, people grow apart from each other, that's adulthood. but when she talks to her therapist she finds herself saying yeah, i could talk to them about it, but, like, it's been months. and they stare at her picture and type and retype the same message that they never send: where are you. what have i done. but they leave her alone, because they think it's what she wants.
this is a real thing that happens; and when it happens, it fucking sucks. in the real world, conversations are often not what they could be; they are often weird and painful and messy. we try to talk to the other person, but they're too stressed out to listen. we both try to fix things, but the hurt has just been too great, and it's never the same, no matter the length of the apology. we grow apart. or both people keep trying, but they're just too different (or too much the same), too much keeps getting in the way, they just end up arguing. the conversation was supposed to be small, it ends up spiraling into a massive and bitter breakup. the conversation was supposed to fix the friendship, but it just makes both people realize i don't really get along with you the way i once did.
in romeo and juliet, a pretty famous series of communication errors keep happening. obviously this is not because his writing is lazy. the lack of communication causes and exposes the tragedy. love is about two people trying to reach each other across an impossible barrier. the place where language can't touch - no matter how much i write about it, i will never be able to show you truly what i am feeling - like trying to name which sounds "feel" green. i cannot put you into my body.
barriers to communication are fucking interesting. is it because of the characters' shared history or because they don't have history? is it a generational thing. is it because they've actually talked about it too much, and there's nothing left that can even be said on the subject. is it because he is too attached to tradition, and she has fully forgotten her home country. are they both avoidant, both anxious? does one person accidentally trigger the other; is the other person not practiced enough to even talk about the trauma that surfaced? does one person lie; is another one being manipulative? is one person hell-bent on taking even neutral things personally, does the other person feel purposefully misunderstood and disoriented. maybe one of them just comes from a culture where interrupting is seen as rude, whereas the other learned crosstalk was a form of active listening - now neither feels heard, even though both actually are listening. hell, sometimes what isn't said shows us the real shape of the relationship hanging between them.
what matters is how you use it, truly. how you let it shape your characters and how you let it show us who those characters are. so much of art is communication. so much of being a person is communication. the driving force of love is understanding: and one cannot be understood without communicating.

The Great Blue Heron of Dunbar Road
by Ada LimĂłn
That we might walk out into the woods together, and afterwards make toast in our sock feet, still damp from the fern’s wet grasp, the spiky needles stuck to our legs, that’s all I wanted, the dog in the mix, jam sometimes, but not always. But somehow, I’ve stopped praising you. How the valley when you first see it — the small roads back to your youth — is so painfully pretty at first, then, after a month of black coffee, it’s just another place your bullish brain exists, bothered by itself and how hurtful human life can be. Isn’t that how it is? You wake up some days full of crow and shine, and then someone has put engine coolant in the medicine on another continent and not even crying helps cure the idea of purposeful poison. What kind of woman am I? What kind of man? I’m thinking of the way my stepdad got sober, how he never told us, just stopped drinking and sat for a long time in the low folding chair on the Bermuda grass reading and sometimes soaking up the sun like he was the story’s only subject. When he drove me to school, we decided it would be a good day, if we saw the blue heron in the algae-covered pond next to the road, so that if we didn’t see it, I’d be upset. Then, he began to lie. To tell me he’d seen it when he hadn’t, or to suppose that it had just taken off when we rounded the corner in the gray car that somehow still ran, and I would lie, too, for him. I’d say I saw it. Heard the whoosh of wings over us. That’s the real truth. What we told each other to help us through the day: the great blue heron was there, even when the pond dried up, or froze over; it was there because it had to be. Just now, I felt like I wanted to be alone for a long time, in a folding chair on the lawn with all my private agonies, but then I saw you and the way you’re hunching over your work like a puzzle, and I think even if I fail at everything, I still want to point out the heron like I was taught, still want to slow the car down to see the thing that makes it all better, the invisible gift, what we see when we stare long enough into nothing.
pelcan Mouth perfec t size for put baby in to n\ap! inside very Soft and Comfort baby sleep soundly put baby in Pelican Mouth.

Apelican Mouth yes a place for a baby put baby in pelican mouth can trust pelican for giveing good love to baby. friend pelican
when a pelican bites you there's no malice in their eyes. they aren't upset at you. they are just hungry and want to see if you fit in their mouths. and if you don't then it's no problem and everything is fine. and if you do then well i guess your fate is sealed but that's ok it's a beautiful animal
Okay, see, I knew about the capybara gif:
But I didn’t know that they really are That Dense, All The Time. The same way sharks will bite anything that might be a seal, just in case, these birdbrains will apparently test just about anything for beak size.Â

That’s it; arrested for bird crimes.
i feel. like on a fundamental level. i do not understand x reader fic. i am not exactly opposed to it because let a thousand blossoms bloom etc. but like. i genuinely don’t get it. it seems like the exact opposite of how i engage with fiction. like the whole point is that i’m not in there. i don’t wanna be in there. if i’m in there it’s going to be very stressful.
when u look at 2017 and think “oh that’s only like 3 years ago” and it’s actually 12,000 years ago and everything is gone and everyone you know has been reduced to ash and the world is completely different
