sometimes I like something on my dash and before I can reblog it the screen flashes white and I get sent back three to four posts like I had a dream about getting out of bed and then woke up in bed. mushroom the size of my torso

no matter what fandom you like - minecraft youtubers, folk music, toby fox games, just remember: the f1 fandom is also there.

the thing about tumblr is that there's the jokes that are universally funny and outsiders will go "haha oh tumblr!! you're so silly!" and then there's shit that seems genuinely confusing.

there's the sitewide cursedamulet-posting and juggling simulations (which covered the dashboards like. overnight)

while most platforms are besieged by bots, we treat them as. like. the local population of loud birds.

there's some ancient fandoms here as well. while twitter (derogatory) throws away a show once it's been more than two months, I've seen reblog chains about lord of the flies. dedicated blogs, even.

hell, we still toss around ea-nasir's name. it's been literal thousands of years and he's still getting complaints

Isabeau went "I... I-" for the first time and I went "oh my god... like the cutbu comic..." and then it actually happened.

woahhh holy shit. sorry to livepost but the new atmosphere of the castle in act five FUCKS. things are broken. they're alone and it's their fault. they've been here so long that they could do this blind. every sadness is trivial. every attack is practiced. there was a flash of red at the start - things are BREAKING. they didn't even pause at the first sadness. they didn't even initiate battle. they just cut it down. the music is so fucking good

go narrative-haunter go!!! make connections to you near-family instead of pushing them away like you're aware of your death

...no narrative-haunter

narrative-haunter i've never seen anyone fuck it up like that...

[thecicadainnotos]

I'm out here haunting my own narrative. seeing spectres of my past self in places that parallel the present and shit. hearing people talk about me in terms that ambiguously refer to my state of living. basically changed my pronouns to was/were. walking around people like I'm already a ghost.

look watch whenever I go near this reoccurring symbol my leitmotif changes to minor key

post two about superman 2025: imagine trying to stop murder and people are like "what about the politics!!" and you're like. it's murder? what? and there's a guy who envies you so much he would end the world to kill you and he murders a guy who just gave you food and there's a clone of you and you get poisoned and your worldview is shattered and there's a dog that has superpowers and is the opposite of trained. over the course of like three days. all of this is the fault of that asshole guy except for the dog who belongs to your drunk traumatised cousin. also mr terrific is there

the recent superman movie is incredible because it's so hopeful but it's also a "toss the blorbo in the angst blender" fic if it was a movie

I love tumblr because the posts I just scrolled past in order (paraphrased) are:

"If I lived forever, I would spend eternity looking for your face in every crowd."

*homoerotic art of lego movie characters*

"would you still love me if I was a soil? - worm girlfriend"

[thecicadainnotos]

me after watching Mickey 17, a move about the realistic ethics and politics of cloning someone: Wow! I'm so excited to read people's psychoanalyses of this interesting, angst-filled character.

AO3: welcome to the fanfiction website built on selfcest how can I help you

me: ah. right.

I love Novocaine. Nathan “I’ll save my girlfriend through the power of silliness, painlessness and this gun I found” Caine is just… such a character.

[thecicadainnotos]

just watched novocaine (2025) and my god. what a fantastic movie. the leading silences and incorrect assumptions, the dramatic irony, the realistic slapstick comedy. Sherry’s (play on cherry? probably?) plot twist came out of NOWHERE but it was foreshadowed anyways. what if an established adult (!) had an incredibly life-affecting disability (!!) and it wasn’t exclusively a disadvantage nor an advantage (!!!). what if said disabled person had both relevant skills and lack of experience due to this affect on their life. what if a man was morally good but willing to use pain as interrogation. what if a man had to pretend (unconvincingly) to experience pain while BEING tortured. what if your goofball, no-risk-taking, exclusively-suit-wearing, one-night-stand, maybe-boyfriend walked in in a leather jacket covered in blood to point a gun at your murderous brother. what if you watched your boyfriend stab your murderous brother who intended to kill both you and him through the bottom of the jaw to his brain with his exposed arm bone. what if you saw him eat solid food for the first time like… yesterday.
