Today on Tumblr:

Is This a New Trend, or Did I Just Not Notice All Those Posts Were From the Same Person?

#every time there’s a string of manananggal posts on my dash I’m like #oh I should show these to max!#but LO AND BEHOLD! max is the one who put them on my dash to begin with

if you have one, tag with the "6 degrees of separation" you have with a celebrity

#I’m like uhhhh three? two? four? degrees removed from the band the eagles #bc um. not to incriminate myself or anything. in first grade I was mortal enemies with the son of the lead #I did throw a table at him at least once and try to choke him out #sorry dude I was mad at the contradiction in your nickname for me which was clearly an insult but that’s not the part I was upset about

#no lie this happened to me yesterday #recited like half the extensive lore of my fave franchise to a friend and then tore the house apart looking for my wallet #which was in the same place it always is

The way you dive into whump and experimentation torture with Bucky reminds me a lot of what I’ve seen some fic authors do with Vader and his suit, especially as a physical extension of his childhood slavery when they include Palpatine having put another slave chip in him.

Not sure if Star Wars is your cup of tea but I’ve been finding it fascinating how you’re breaking down what you’re inflicting on Bucky in much the same way I see Vader treated

okay. so.

when I was like 10-12 star wars was my special interest I LOVED star wars

I had a massive crush on qui-gon jinn when I was 11 or so. i read the jedi apprentice books and there is one jedi apprentice arc where qui-gon gets Tortured In The Facility and I. I must say that I specifically sought out this book because it had that trope in it. even then I knew what I wanted

but somehow the sequel trilogy kind of killed my interest in it? Like. I was really excited to see The Force Awakens in theaters and I initially really liked it but it became clear that they were just throwing in stuff that seemed nostalgic or similar to what the fans already liked, instead of doing anything interesting with the story. you can't create ANOTHER planet-destroying weapon thats just stupid and boring.

The Star Wars prequels were so fucking despised, but the corporate bulldozement of Star Wars is so much worse. The prequels are very much guided by the creative vision of one guy who had a specific story he wanted to tell and they are bad for a lot of the same reasons they are good.

anyways yes i have a lot of feelings about star wars. if you have recs for Vader experimentation whump fics I am down.

hmmm let's see. i'm afraid i'm less into physical whump/experimentation/torture and more into psychological/emotional manipulation so the ones i can think of off the top of my head aren't centered on that, but should feature some

The Desert Storm -- "Four years after Order 66 and the fall of the Jedi Order, a grieving, struggling Ben Kenobi finds himself inexplicably taken back in time, crashing headlong into the foundations of fate. Grasping hope and vengeance with both hands, Ben rebuilds his identity and seeks to change the course of history: by saving Anakin Skywalker, the Jedi Order, the galaxy - and just maybe saving Obi-Wan Kenobi along the way." i know i talked about Vader but this is Kenobi whump instead! Ben is in a bad way very often throughout this story, and a good number of other characters are too, between mysterious illnesses, ships crashing, things exploding, etc. absolutely fascinatingly written and sort of terrifying in how well composed and detailed it is. the sequel series has Ben undergoing more terrible whump than ever before

Double Agent Vader -- "A man attempts to escape slavery by turning into one of his culture heroes, teaching his daughter how to do magic, killing people, and flower arranging." this is the origin of fanon Tatooine slave culture which i find fascinating in how rich a folklore it is, and explores some of the horror and suspense of working under a master. goes into some of Vader's self repair and mental/emotional scrutiny by Palpatine

Back From The Future: Episode VI The Clone Wars -- "In which Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader travel back in time together to the Clone Wars era, have amazing adventures, and save the galaxy." dozens of different characters getting their minds blown by a Sith and his beloved son. more angst/emotional hurt but the thing with the slave chips is gutwrenching and this story never fails to make me cry

You get to live here, too -- "It was meant to be a short separation: Qui-Gon would get closer to Mandalorian space, get their informant, and come back. Easy. Less than ten days apart. That was, of course, before the dustbowl of a planet Obi-Wan was staying on signed itself over to the Mandalorian Empire. Now, caught up in the Mandalorian takeover with no weapons, no credits, and no contacts, Obi-Wan has to figure out a way back to Republic space and the Jedi. If he doesn't get caught first." more Kenobi whump. holy manipulation Batman this story is a masterpiece of slowly stripping an isolated teen of cultural identity until he's convinced assimilation is a good thing like everyone else has been saying the entire time. what a psychological horror show, i was very unsettled and loved it

#star wars #fic rec #there's a handful of others that don't contain enough whump for me to reasonably recommend based on my original ask #but i love doing fic recs i think they're a v important but dying part of fandom ecosystems

One of the funniest tech shit for me is the fucked up weird file types that entirely confuses your phone so much that it asks you shit like 'Open file with : Google Docs, Plague Inc., WhatsApp, Office 365, Clash Royale, Cash App, Spotify'

#my windows laptop consistently tries to open regular jpegs and pngs with word #and tries to open word docs with photoshop

so as long as tumblr keeps this, here's the tumblr version of etiquette that was maintained when twitter's quote-retweets affected artist visibility/notes:

for art that someone has added reblog commentary to (or removed the caption from), reblog from the source

otherwise, avoid adding reblog comments to art (as this will affect the artist's notes/visibility)—utilize tags and replies to provide commentary (which artists will absolutely appreciate)

reblog comments are comments added to the body of a post, not the tags and not replies.

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!

This is horrible I can't see the number of notes on my posts at all without adding up everything in the chain
