This is a personal interest blog, so there is no cohesion

It's everywhere

There's also it's more 'diverse' fandom twin

[ID 1: drawing of four non-descript characters smiling lined up, three of them have pale skin while one has brown skin and a more mischievous expression, the characters has text pointed to them reading “that one character that gets the melanin because they’re angry/agressive” End ID]

[ID 2: drawing of four non-descript characters lined up, three of them have varied brown skin and expressions while one has pale skin and a more calm smile, the characters has text pointed to them reading “that one character that gets less of the melanin because they’re passive/calm/fancier” End ID]

[douglysium]

This and "that one character that gets darker skin because they are masculine"

(Also, a side not to consider is that there are good / pleasing designs that aren't super reliant on super high contrast. Don't get me wrong. Contrast is great and I love it but I think sometimes design gets a bit more complicated then "you always need to use the most high contrast thing possible. Obviously, don't make all your characters a single color blob but making a character I walking polkadate rainbow in the name of "contrast" wouldn't inherently be good either).

Also, it's weird that this is happening (although less frequently (even to now) but I loathe those fucking jokes where a character "can say the n-word" or "dresses up as a black character" because they have a tan now. IDK how to explain it perfectly other than the fact that they aren't even Black makes a lot of these jokes weird enough.

Just because I don't want to be solely negative here's a long stream of advice from Twitter about drawing Darker skin and stuff

Here are some bonus tips if you find people say you keep making your skin look ashy unintentionally

Here's some basic tips for hair

That's all for now. One day I will make a complete and articulated article containing all the basic advice found here and a video too but until then thanks for reading.

earlier this year 2 boys got expelled from my school for going on a teachers email and sending another teacher an email that says “you’re a disgusting little man” and i laugh about it all the time because imagine opening an email from your coworker and thinking it’s important and then it says that

awww the like button turns into a rainbow when you press it! that's so cute...hey staff what's with all the trans women you keep nuking?

[manuciruja]

i think we should be ridiculing them more for this. you don't get to try and go all "queer website" when your staff likes to go on nuking sprees targeting the trans fem users

I really appreciate how every week I reblog this, a different person interacts it. Tuesday light me up speaks to all of us at different times.

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

insane some people don't use ad blockers? babe why r u rawdogging the internet

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

it's a CESSPIT out there. wrap it before ya tap it babes!!!

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

the notes are insane

"im on mobile" adblocking exists for mobile

"im broke :(" ADBLOCKING IS FREE

"im lazy" i truly sympathize with executive dysfunction, but this is one of those quality-of-life things you need to prioritize. 3 minutes of research/installation will save you a thousandfold in time and energy. it can even help with brain fog (most people don't realize how much mental energy ads actually steal)

"i like ads" my jaw is on the fucking floor. you chose to live in a sewer, yet you will never be a ninja nor a turtle. you do not have a warrior's heart.

[sickviking-fr]

"adblock exists for mobile"

"Adblock is free"

That doesn't sound real but okay.

*inhaling deeply and reminding myself that Shaking The Baby only endangers the baby, and does not assist it to learn or grow* in spite of everything there are beautiful and important truths within this world that you must learn, and i must help you to learn

Adblock DNS is easy to install! Works for all phones! It works on most ads, but not video or tumblr.

Settings → Network → Private DNS, paste in dns.adguard.com

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

⬆️⬆️⬆️ Can confirm, I use this method (alongside others) on android. for iOS the steps are different (and it may be easier to install the AdGuard DNS app instead)

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

the above will decrease the amount of ads you see system-wide. however: hands down the BEST ANDROID ADBLOCKING feature is the ability to install Firefox with uBlock Origin enabled.

Install Firefox -> Settings -> Extensions -> uBlock Origin

this only blocks browser ads, but HOLY SHIT does that matter if you try browsing websites over apps when possible. which you should bc it's awesome and gives you SO much more control. E.g. blocks youtube.com ads and you can play videos in the background. works with spotify.com too

Pro tip: toggle on 'Desktop site' to avoid mobile sites that are purposely designed to bully you into using the app. Desktop mode fixes a surprising number of problems

Note: for iOS users this isn't available bc Apple hates your guts, but there are other browser options with built-in adblocking, e.g. Firefox Focus, Brave

What does a stock photo of some random guy brooding have to do with my question

[moved-2-coyotemaximum]

i'm so sorry to tell you that's not some random guy brooding, that's jensen ackles, the guy who played dean winchester in supernatural. i think this may be a screenshot from the show.

[one-time-i-dreamt]

My mom calls him pouty and the other one squeezy

[one-time-i-dreamt]

thank you, I didn't do it intentionally

[friendlyneighborhoodmadbi-entist]

on the one hand im honored that my tags got noticed but on the other hand now everyone can see the fact that i got misha collins and jensen ackles mixed up

in my defense they look exactly the same

[one-time-i-dreamt]

In your defense when you said this was Misha Collins I immediately believed you that this was his name instead of Jensen Shackles

[fangirl-nadir]

This post gives off vintage Tumblr vibes

[allinory]

No the real vintage tumblr would already add at least one supernatural gif to the post

[one-time-i-dreamt]

[kentucky-fried-thea]

this happened an Hour ago

[sarcasticsouthernbookworm]

I’m sorry, I need to bring us back around to pouty and squeezy because that’s perfect and I love it

[confusedconfetti]

*tries to fit this gif in here somewhere*

[one-time-i-dreamt]

THAT'S SQUEEZY!

[edenial]

he sure pouts a lot its the perfect name

[one-time-i-dreamt]

I couldn't find the right image to explain why my mom called the other one squeezy (because he often kept his lips "tightly squeezed", according to her) so here's this image instead

[rlydsntmttr-deactivated20250124]

this post is from... *check notes* yesterday?

[aingealbites]

Ok, but what is a blorbo?

[one-time-i-dreamt]

I HAVE BEEN INFORMED BY MY MOM THAT I (ACCIDENTALLY) LIED TO YOU ALL

TURNS OUT, SOME 18 OR SO YEARS AGO MY MOM AND AUNT DECIDED TO GIVE SUPERNATURAL A GO AND STARTED WATCHING THE FIRST SEASON TOGETHER AND IT WAS MY AUNT, NOT MY MOM, WHO GAVE POUTY AND SQUEEZY THEIR NICKNAMES

I must add that my aunt is the kind of person who cares not about pop culture

Guys, heads up!

Hey everyone,

As many of you know, I used to have another Tumblr account where I posted sensual photos of men I found attractive. Well… once again, the account got taken down, and this time, there’s no way to recover it.

Even though I followed Tumblr’s rules properly, it still happened. But I’ve already created a new account and will be posting again soon! I’d love for you to follow the new page if you’d like to keep up.

Thank you all so much for the support and kindness. ❤️

[intactics]

it is amazing to watch a President of the United States do so much to destroy the American empire almost entirely by accident/as an untintentional consequence of his scamming, shitposting, poor moral character, violent temper, and total lack of impulse control. like. what can I compare him to? Jackson might have been an amoral sadistic sociopath but he was capable of goal oriented behavior

[autistic-speedbump]

The fuck you mean "by accident?"

We've known from the very beginning that he's a Russian asset. He's been destabilizing our country on Putin's orders. I mean, just the soybeans alone is proof enough.

HEY wanna read but annoyed on where to find copies of books?

Here's an archive with millions of PDFs of books and papers and magazines and essays and stuff.

[meltedgarment]

I've been looking for such archives, thanks

[fealty-to-thee]

you’ve been traumatized into hating reading (and it makes you easier to oppress).

i was not going to publish this essay because i don’t like to yell but here the fuck i am.

the first link broke, here you go

[creatingblackcharacters]

BEGGING us to read nonfiction every now and then. Like. Words on page. It doesn't have to be the only thing you do, but you gotta keep in practice with it. No easier people to subjugate than those who question nothing they're told.

the complete and total defeat in the prosecutor's voice at the very end..... im 💀💀💀

[bogleech]

Havent seen a lot about this on tumblr so maybe not a lot of people know:

He was wrongfully raided by police in 2022

He used footage and names of the specific cops in posts, videos and songs making fun of them

The cops sued for defamation and cried in court about the songs ruining their lives

He won anyway

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. 

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!

[cryptotheism]

Not only will this ruin a core element of Tumblr, it will make it very difficult to tell where and when a post is getting traction. People are on this website because it isn't Twitter. Making it more like Twitter will turn people away.

[cryptotheism]

The last thing this website needs is a culture of catty twitter-style quote-retweets. This will actively encourage more toxic users to interact with your posts because their traffic will be more difficult to track.

[txttletale]

this actively sabotages the core benefit of tumblr over other platforms, the ability to have nuanced longform conversations. this change will make the website drastically worse
