Hi deadcat, my phone recently updated and the internet browser now makes it Very Clear which websites are secured or unsecured. How did you make your tumblr a secured site when lots of others aren’t?

Uhmm...that’s a VERY good question, considering that Tumblr is in charge of that and I’m not.

Can I join the sick pile? I had a physical/bloodwork done after it was pointed out to me that I haven’t had one in like six years and it came back that my blood iron level was 16 :/ and here I thought I was tired just from stress

I have to take an iron pill every day or Consequences, so I grok you there. Welcome to the pile!

New Shinies being green or blue?

Either is good. So is both. <3

What do you think of Palpatine returning?

No guarantee that he has.

But... I wouldn’t turn it down. Snoke never acted like a threat. He acted like a fucking poppet.

Seriously, Sidious is terrifyingly badass. If they made the old EU about him body-hopping via clones into canon-canon again, I’d be totes down with it.

Also, Sidius would be shit scary even if he was just a fucking ghost.

Why is it not polite?

Because if they don’t want anyone to know that they have an AO3 account, I’m not gonna be the one who points it out. Since I don’t know their feelings on the matter, I’m not mentioning their name or the fic.

Okay, let’s try a hypothetical what-if scnario: Say as an author, I use my real name for a tumblr handle (which I did, but just bear with me here). Now, my real name is fairly common, so it’s not as if I would be outing myself unless I announced it on the tumblr. It’s not necessarily a huge secret, but I don’t tell people.

Then someone comes along and points out that tumblr and shouts about who that REALLY IS. If I wanted to remain on the downlow, I’d not appreciate that a whole lot. I’d deal with it, because there is no such thing as being truly anonymous on the internet without going through a great deal of pain in the ass trouble, but if remaining quiet had been my goal, it would suck to deal with the fallout.

So that is why it is hypothetically rude to go running and pointing when someone who is famous says something under an account that may not be public knowledge.

EDIT:

It has also been pointed out to me: Stalkers are a thing and they suck and I’m not gonna give someone with those inclinations an easier time of things.

personally I would highly discourage showing feet pics on tumblr.....

Pfft. If someone is so desperate to get off that they have to masturbate to my bandaged feet, that’s their problem.

What do you think about Neville and his wand? Because in canon he got a new one after the DoM debacle and did no longer have to use his fathers. will our favourite Slytherins take care of that? Or did that already happen?
