reblog to bonk the person you reblogged it from with a hollow cardboard tube

I saw this and had to save this image cause I definitely have a few readers like this.

Given the reappearance of Daddy Charcoal (thank you for that one, Steve) and the ensuing lust and severe lack of smut featuring him, I feel compelled to share this.

Bedroom Hymns

Now, there is an OC in here from a series I wrote, but you don't need to read it to understand this.

Just wanted to share with the other thirsty people.

we are broadly so fucking bad at being good friends to people who Cannot Leave

there are people who Cannot Leave. hopefully it's not the case for their whole lives but it is the case for them RIGHT NOW. and even trauma and abuse aware communities are shitassfuck bad at knowing how to be a supportive friend to these people and I find it soooo fucking frustrating. it's condescension and scolding and unrealistic standards and victim blaming and minimizing all the way fucking down .

[lailah-tov]

It's so important to educate yourself about why people stay in bad situations and how to help someone who can't leave or goes back. Any sentence starting with "You should just" is bad, but "You should just leave" is one of the worst.

thank you for those links!

Pick one to subject your blorbo to and pass it on

Hurt with no comfort

Love and care they believe they don't deserve

Flashbacks or reliving the Trauma™

One good day where absolutely nothing bad happens

Stabbed and bleeding out somewhere remote

Their strained "I'm fine" is believed by their team

A mug of hot cocoa and the warmest, coziest blankets

Suddenly coughing up blood

A hug

terfs posting their Ls

[pezpenser205]

its nice to see stuff like this because it reminds you that theyre actually the weird ones. their rhetoric just relies on them portraying themselves as "voices of the people" fighting for what no one else will stand up for, despite most people probably thinking their behavior is embarrassing and not worth it. open terfs, racists, nazis, homophobes, misogynists, general transphobes- are all just extremely pissed off and angry minorities that make it everyone else's problem as much as they possibly can so that they seem bigger than they are. that doesnt mean they arent dangerous, it just means we can win. we've got a fighting chance against these losers.

When reading fanfic keep in mind that for professional literature: 

Short story: under 7,500

Novelette: between 7,500 and 17,500

Novella: between 17,500 and 40,000

Novel: over 40,000

Fics over 40k are literally a novel written and shared for free.  If you have written a 40k+ fic, you have literally written a novel.

[fake-starwars-fan]

Yep. In addition, chapters in published novels are generally around 3,000 words in length.

Fanfic writers go hard.

Mild spoilers/thinky thoughts for current season things:

Jack is up to something. As he usually is. But I'm utterly fascinated to find out what it is.

We already know he's going to be looking into Lavinia, but I'm curious about how the items he's having poor Tony gather will impact it.

I'm really sad about what's happened to Jonah/Solomon. I knew it was coming. Kiddo was doomed from the start, but ow. It's terrible to see a sweet kid turned like that.

Also, the person who sent the invitation to Jack? I bet it was Rachel. They were pretty tight and, afaik, Rachel had a better connection to/understanding of Jack.

I sort of bounced off of the Daughter Dooley stuff as "trapped in my own body" is a kind of squick for me I can't explain, but I'm happily awaiting the rest of the season.

when I am less exhausted from working the polls for 15 hours, I will congratulate this website on banding together and making their collective voice heard! But what if I told you that there was ANOTHER way, just as cool, to make your voices heard with the powers that be...?

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!

[tumblr]

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. 

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.
