not my tweet or my fic (and there’s a good chance of this comment being a bot) but yeah, don’t do this. sure, some writers wouldn’t mind having fanfics (or direct continuation) of their fanfics written by someone else. some may even be thrilled and happy. but the fandom etiquette is that if you want to write a fanfic or a continuation of someone’s fanfic, YOU POLITELY ASK THE WRITER FOR THEIR PERMISSION. not their readers.

also 5 months isn’t long at all. 5 months is 5 minutes when it comes to fanfics. I’ve waited years for my favorite fics to get updated (one of my favorite fanfics was updated by the author after 13 years) and I’ve never said anything to them about “it’s been ___ years, I don’t think it will get updated anymore”. because another fandom / fanfic etiquette is that fanfic writers write for free in their free time, they don’t owe you anything. maybe they will update one day. maybe they won’t. if you want your favorite fic to get updated, you comment something like “this is good!! I’m excited for what happens next” and maybe your positive comment will motivate the author to update. but you don’t say “it’s been ___ months or years”. fanfics writers write for themselves and their own enjoyment. they’re just kind enough to let you read their works for free. stop being rude and entitled to fanfic writers.

it would be fun if an angel and a vampire were friends i think

[valtsv]

vampire: ugh, you mortals simply can't comprehend the timescale i live on. i've watched your empires rise and fall, your cities crumble to dust. i find your short little lives amusing at best. i -

angel: HI, I HAVE BEEN ALIVE SINCE THE DAWN OF TIME AND I NOTICED YOU ARE ALSO SOMEWHAT OLD?

vampire: ...sure. hey what was the dawn of time like?

angel: PRETTY BORING ACTUALLY. NOTHING ELSE EXISTED YET.

vampire: oh, man, i feel you. i slept through, like, the entire 14th century it was so boring. everyone was dying of plague and shit anyway so i didn't miss much.

[valtsv]

vampire: hey i am outside your apartment

angel: YOU'VE JUST BEEN STANDING THERE? FOR HOW LONG?

vampire: uhhhhhhh a mere speck in comparison to our immortal lives so don't worry about it honestly. i need you to invite me in though.

angel: OF COURSE, I'M SO SORRY. PLEASE COME IN.

vampire: *steps over the threshold and immediately starts hissing and coughing like a cat with a bad hairball*

angel: OH, I'M SO SORRY. MY APARTMENT IS CONSIDERED HOLY GROUND BECAUSE I LIVE IN IT. I SHOULD HAVE WARNED YOU.

vampire: *coughing* it's fine. do you - *cough* *wheeze* what are your thoughts on chinese? i know a great place just a couple of blocks from here

I’ve been quite inactive lately because of life, but omg… @raluralu394 just showed me that they’ve book-bound Smoke, Fire and Ash for their own shelf and i’m actually losing my mind a little bit 😭💖

My very first fanfic that I spent so much time and poured so much love into, and now it’s a physical copy???? 😭

I’m crying. It’s so ridiculously beautiful, the talent to even do this?? I’ve bookbound a fanfic for myself and good fucking lord that shit is hard but look at how good they’ve done it?? The cover, the pages, the whole vibe — absolute perfection!!!!!

I can’t even really express how much this means to me, but thank you so much @raluralu394 for making something this gorgeous and for letting me see it. It honestly means the world that you wanted to do this, did it, and then showed me and I’m going to be thinking about it forever. 📚✨😭 what an absolute honour 🥺🥺🥺🥺

[raluralu394]

I’m just happy you like it! I still have a lot to learn but who knows, maybe I’ll make a deluxe edition someday ahah

[raluralu394]

Do I hate studying or do I hate the imposition of it?

Things that Keep Me Up At Night About SasuNaru

Naruto and Sasuke KISSED in their first chapter together.

We see Sasuke’s Sharingan for the first time when he reawakened it because he thought Naruto was going to die.

Sasuke’s body “moves on it’s own” to save Naruto.

Naruto entered Tailed Beast Mode for the first time because he thought Sasuke DIED.

Sasuke’s final thoughts before he “died” were all centered around Naruto which even included their first kiss.

Hurting Sasuke or HECK EVEN MENTIONING Sasuke in a bad light is a surefire way to trigger Naruto.

Naruto and Sasuke were all BLUSHY AND AVOIDING each other’s glances after wave country.

Sasuke’s first thought upon learning that Itachi is back in Konoha is to SAVE NARUTO.

Sasuke just CANNOT KILL NARUTO and it’s not because he can’t based on his skills or on a “whim” as he puts it.

Naruto WOULD RATHER BE AN IDIOT AND A GENIN ALL HIS LIFE if it meant saving Sasuke.

Naruto would REFUSED TO BECOME HOKAGE unless he saved Sasuke.

Naruto never needed anyone to tell him that he should go after Sasuke because NARUTO GOES AFTER SASUKE BECAUSE HE WANTS TO.

Naruto wished for Sasuke on a shooting star.

Naruto literally had a panic attack at the thought of Sasuke dying.

Sasuke called Naruto his “one and only”.

Sasuke could have died at the last battle between Naruto and him but HE LIVED FOR NARUTO.

Naruto is the hopeful heart that connects Sasuke to Konoha. (i.e. the only reason why Sasuke even gives Konoha the time of day)

Every member of the Otsutsuki clan who has seen Naruto and Sasuke together have acknowledged their bond or have worked towards getting Naruto and Sasuke together.

Naruto left Konoha and Ichiraku Ramen to train for three years with Jiraiya to save Sasuke. NARUTO LEFT RAMEN FOR SASUKE.

Naruto and Sasuke are literal soulmates.

UPDATE [June 25, 2020]

Naruto and Sasuke have canonically watched each other since they were children and have felt a kinship with one another long before they became teammates.

SASUKE FED NARUTO EVEN THOUGH THE CONSEQUENCE WAS BEING SENT BACK TO THE ACADEMY which can ultimately set him back on his goal of killing Itachi.

Naruto and Sasuke know each others hearts like no one else in the entire series.

Naruto DOES NOT NEED A GENJUTSU to know that Sasuke is someone who he treasures. HECK! NARUTO EVEN BROADCASTED HIS ENTIRE INNER THOUGHTS ON SASUKE TO ALL THE NINJAS IN THE 4TH SHINOBI WAR VIA INO.

Sasuke only thought of going back to Konoha during his redemption journey because he read a letter from NARUTO and ALL OF NARUTO’S MESSY HANDWRITTING. I’m sobbing!!!

The only time we see Sasuke cry and laugh in happiness as well as feel content was when he was literally BLEEDING OUT TO DEATH besides NARUTO.

NARUTO when faced with the choice of either letting Sasuke kill everyone in Konoha or killing Sasuke CHOSE TO DIE WITH SASUKE. THIS BOY WOULD DIE FOR SASUKE BECAUSE WHO THE HECK CARES ABOUT RETURNING TO KONOHA AND BEING HOKAGE IF HE LOSES SASUKE?!

Naruto is WILLING TO BE BEATEN UP, CRY, AND GROVEL just to save Sasuke’s life. HE IS WILLING TO LOOK WEAK AND PATHETIC IN FRONT OF THE FREAKING RAIKAGE FOR SASUKE.

Itachi himself entrusted Sasuke to Naruto. NARUTO HAS ITACHI’S BLESSING TO BE THE ONE FOR SASUKE.

Sasuke is the only “friend” of Naruto who has ever met Naruto’s mother. SASUKE HAS KUSHINA’S BLESSING TO BE WITH NARUTO.

And that’s just a few that I could think about right now.  But don’t worry I’ll update this list every now and then.

Tumblr: *rolls out “best stuff first”*

My blog:

[unpretty]

on the one hand this is a joke post because lol i have never made a good post in my life, but also, if i hadn’t made the connection between this update and my sudden nosedive in activity, i would have been really fucking discouraged about all the shit i’ve been working on lately. i guarantee there are people on tumblr right now who haven’t made that connection, and who are trying to figure out why suddenly no one likes anything they’ve made. and that fucking sucks.

[jasper-appreciation]

Reminder to go into your settings and turn off ‘Best Stuff First’ because my activity’s tanked a couple days ago for no reason so this stuff IS happening.

You WILL miss content with that setting on.

[sergle]

i ain’t joking when i say that my activity looks JUST like this too and i wasn’t sure why

[hiddlescheekbones]

I can only find the option on the app under Settings > Dashboard Preferences.

[clintfbarton-deactivated2025012]

To support content creators do us a favour and turn off “Best stuff first”. Open the tumblr app (Android or iOs) and go to “Settings > Dashboard Preferences. And please reblog this post, so that everybody will see this. Thank you very much!

[drferox]

I assumed I just wasn’t writing very well, but maybe it’s not just me.

Am I supposed to pay to get my writing in front of followers now?

[space-australians]

We interrupt your regularly-scheduled sci-fi content because this is important for app users, and it sucks. We all follow blogs because we want to see their content, not to have a crappy algorithm decide what’s best.

This blog is down approximately 80%, which doesn’t affect me other than as an annoyance (as this is a hobby and @okayto is small-ish) but the issue undoubtedly hurts others.

Below are instructions for turning it off. You have to do it individually–it doesn’t matter if a blog you follow turns it off, you’ll still be affected unless you do the same.

[yourplayersaidwhat]

We don’t normally reblog PSAs, but this is very clearly affecting us, too! If you haven’t been getting your daily dose of RPG humor, this setting is probably why. Turn it off so you can see all the silly shit players say!

[penbrydd]

Trying to reblog the versions of these instructions with the most notes, so they’ll actually show up for the people afflicted by this update.

[theliteraryarchitect]

Just turned mine off! Didn’t even realize this had happened. A chronological dash is part of the reason I’m on this site to begin with. Ugh. Reblogging for, well, everyone.

My name is Kristoff Alcock. A soon to be second year radiography student at the university of the West Indies. I humbly made this Gofundme account requesting some financial assistance in continuing my studies. In the future I plan to become a Radiation Therapist as I love helping people who are in need. I currently live with my grandmother and it is hard for her to send me to university due to the fact that she way over the age of retirement. Nonetheless at her age of 75 years old, she still goes out and try to do day to day jobs by cleaning various households etc. just to provide for me and my siblings. My mother is a maintenance officer as she does what she can but due to bills and taking care of my other siblings it is hard for her to send me to university. Over the past year, I had gotten assistance from my Aunt who is situated in the states. She has provided nothing but endless support for my first year, finding all my expenses (tuition, living expenses and pocket money). However, due to the pandemic, she is unable to continue supporting me at her full capacity as she would definitely liked to do.

I try not to feel discouraged as God has set a specific path for me and He has provided so many opportunities for me in the past year as without Him I don’t think I would be here for school. It is safe to say that I use my disadvantages as a form of motivation to do well and with that drive I was able to obtain a 3.52 GPA despite doing 13 courses per semester. It was really rough but I still prevailed with nothing but the Grace of God and my drive to do well.

Any financial help would be greatly appreciated in my path to a successful future. Thank you so much.

PLEASE HELP KRISTOFF REACH HIS GOAL AND CONTINUE HIS EDUCATION!!!

As someone who ran track and cross country for 4 years in high school, this always fucking mystified me the most out of all the insane shit PE had us do.

Track and field club taught all new runners how to properly warm up, stretch, pace, etc. Its a process, and doing it properly takes 15-20 minutes to make sure your body is ready so you dont hurt yourself.

PE didnt do jack shit, they just said "go run a mile" so 70% of the fucking kids sprinted flat out the first lap and basically walked the other 3. Multiple people did it in boots or tennis shoes. I'm amazed more of them didnt pull a muscle or worse in the process.

I dont know what the purpose of PE was, but it sure as shit wasnt proper exercise. And I think a lot of people suffered for that. If they spent the time teaching us about the importance of physical health, proper nutrition, how to safely stretch/exercise, etc, we would all be better off now.

[renthony]

Let's be real, PE exists to shame and torture the fat kids, and for pretty much no other reason.

[one-time-i-dreamt]

not a dream

I keep reading horrible, fake stories about Naya Rivera’s ex husband (YOU CAN LITERALLY GOOGLE THEIR RELATIONSHIP BEFORE POSTING LIES AND FACT CHECK, BUT OKAY) Ryan Dorsey on Twitter and I just want to clarify some stuff (and I say this as a fan of neither one of them):

He was never, EVER, EVER, EVER accused of abusing her. Never. There was no investigation against him, no rumors. No bad rumors about him came out ever, in general. She was accused of assaulting him, and he dropped the charges against her in the end. Saying she was a victim of domestic abuse in their marriage is simply backed by no evidence and is a false narrative to shift the blame on him because people want to be the first to discover the “truth” about what has happened to her, no matter if it’s actually true or not. It’s weird. 

They divorced amicably and finalized their divorce in 2018. They shared custody of their son and nothing suggest they had a bad relationship. Her family follows him on social media. They seemed to have made their relations work for their son, or maybe they divorced on friendly terms. People can do that, you know.

No outlets ever reported that he rented the boat with her and was there. I don’t even know where people got that information from, but no officials have ever said that. I’d like to see some sources if you’re saying stuff like that first. I checked everywhere, and I can’t find a peep about it. Their son was found alone on the boat, wearing a life jacket and he said that it was just the two of them and that Naya jumped into the water and never resurfaced back up. I’m pretty sure the people she rented the boat from can also confirm whether she was with anyone else, other than her child, so stop spreading unconfirmed information apparently and allegedly coming from a singular British tabloid.

He was never accused of having cp found on his computer, that was another ex of hers, and that situation should not be brought back right now. She had long broken up with that other guy by the time his case happened, and he was with someone else when his crimes were discovered. Ryan Dorsey is not every single ex of Naya’s, he’s one person and other people’s crimes should not be attributed to him.

He’s not “suspiciously staying quiet on social media”. The guy barely posts as is. This is real life for him, while this just might be a celebrity case for you. He does not owe you anything. He’s likely comforting their son at this moment and being comforted himself and he should not be expected to tweet anything to satisfy people’s morbid curiosity. What do you want him to do? Tweet #FINDNAYA so you could decide he’s not suspicious? I’m pretty sure even if he did tweet something, people would find ways to twist it and find faults in what he has said.

Commenting under articles and tweets about her disappearance saying the police should find her ex husband as well is tasteless, too. He is not missing. She is. You don’t know where he is, but to immediately point fingers at him and assume the worst is also weird. TV shows really convinced people they know everything? “But my favorite show said that the ex is always the guilty one!” It’s a show. This is somebody’s real life. Have empathy.

This is not Law & Order. You are not detectives. Are you working this case? No? Why are you speculating then?

Unarmed Black Man With Hands Up Shot By Police.

Charles Kinsey, 47, a behavior therapist from South Florida was shot in the leg three times by the police in North Miami while laying on the ground with his arms up and trying to help his patient with autism who had run away from a group home.

It all started when someone called 911 and said there was a man walking around with a gun. However it was Kinsey’s patient who was sitting on the ground cross-legged, playing with a toy truck.

Charles got shot by police despite telling them he was only trying to help his patient.

The police shot him, handcuffed him and left him on ground bleeding.

North Miami police have not released much information at all. They haven’t released the officer’s name, they haven’t given us an update on the investigation. However, they did say that the state attorney is now a part of this investigation.

Do not use change.org petitions

Hey, just a reminder: Most governments cannot legally respond to change.org petitions. If you want to do activism to get a specific government to do or not do something, do not use a change.org petition. It will not work. They do not have to respond to those because they can’t check that the people signing it really are their constituents (the only people whose opinions they care about). Instead, use the official petition service of that government, because then it will have to be debated/acted on if it gets a certain number of signatures. 

For the UK: https://petition.parliament.uk/

For Australia: https://www.aph.gov.au/petition_list

For the US: https://petitions.whitehouse.gov/

For the EU parliament: https://petiport.secure.europarl.europa.eu/petitions/en/home

There are literally hundreds of different petition systems - at least one for every government. You can also just literally google your country of residence + petition.

These petitions legally have to be acted on if they reach a certain number of signatures. Change.org petitions do not, because there’s no way to verify where the signatories come from or how seriously members of parliament should take these signatures. Change.org (in addition to being an “unofficial” petition channel) is also a for-profit company that only uses your money to boost petitions within its own website. 

“(Change) is a multimillion dollar for-profit private company, not a nonprofit public charity as many falsely assume. The company began as a nonprofit that connected charities to donors, but has transitioned into a for-profit company that makes money by selling advertised petitions on its website, Change.org.” -Activist Facts 

It is additionally misleading - the number of signatures you actually need to have a petition debated/acted on/reviewed by the government will vary from place to place and the population size of the country you’re petitioning. Change.org does not have that information. Have you ever noticed how the number of signatures keeps getting extended? That’s because none of the goals actually do anything actionable. They are not legally binding.

Anyone can sign a change.org petition. Usually with petitions you need  to at least be a resident of the country you’re petitioning. The reason for that is that the democratically-elected representatives should act on their constituents’ desires. It is very easy to not act on a change.org petition from their perspective because they have no way of verifying if you’re actually a constituent and could vote them out. Having a petition that anyone can sign is a very easy way for the entire petition to be discredited. 

Please, I am begging you. I am thrilled by your enthusiasm for activism, but I am exhausted from having to jump onto every post that tries to petition a government through this fraudulent website. This matters because if faced with the option of signing a real petition or a change.org one, the change.org one is going to be more popular because fewer people know how this works, but we really need to boost through channels that work right now.

Examples for what not to do under the cut.
