A regular part of my job is trying to reach out to people who have been quietly trying to make their community a better place; the volunteers, the teachers, the fucking. People who rehabilitate injured wild owls in a Quonset hut in the woods, and to a one this is the kind of person who immediately reviles at recognition. The kind of person who immediately says that they never got into this to get praise for it, and that they’d infinitely prefer to quietly plug away at this anonymously forever.
And from this I’ve always drawn two conclusions:
To always distrust Mr. Beast and his ilk who always want their acts of charity done on film, because the people who really want to do good and have no motives to do it besides the doing it never want recognition for it, and
That there are, in the dark, in the quiet, always people who are doing good, and the reason you don’t hear about it is because they’d rather die than receive recognition for it, but they’re real; they do exist. And you are never alone
Free Ornamentation IV. This work is dedicated to the public domain 🐌
I turned them into individual transparent pngs if anyone wants those premade!
(Op lmk if you want me to take this down, I'd totally understand—on the other hand, I'd love to do it for the other public domain pieces you've done if that's ok!)
i've been phasing the phrase 'google it' out of my vocabulary and going back to 'look it up'. fuck you youve lost your generic trademark privileges
Vice is warming up to the kittens... very slowly.
You have to understand that when I first got foster kittens, Vice was actively trying to fight them. It was embarrasing. Sir, you're a grown man and that is an infant.
But this is just a token warning hiss! He's barely chaging body language; this is just a hefty No Thank You from him. Still progress!
Vice and the kitten he said he didn't want
Reverse Courting AU
Okay hear me out here;
Usually, you'll find moshang fics where Sqh is completely oblivious to Mbj's intentions and its (partly) because he's been trying to court sqh the demonic way, right?
I'm switching things up a little.
• Both are still pining hopelessly, of course. But! Sqh goes "fuck it, we ball. If I die I die" about his feelings and starts trying to date the FUCK out of Mbj.
• I'm talking taking him out to eat, going on outings, giving him flowers, gifts, doing things to make mbj's life easier, giving little good morning notes, maybe some holidays n stuff... lowkey realizing they've been doing couple things for a WHILE so hes having to get a bit creative here to show off okay?
• Lmao he could even try the whole "meeting the family" further down the line and just. Grimacing at literally ALL sides of that fiasco.
• Sqh starts this whole thing off with the thought: "what's the worse he can do? Kill me? I'll probably be well on my way to perishing if he rejects me anyways, he'll be doing a mercy kill at that point."
• Meanwhile, Mbj Has Not Realized wtf has been going on. Like, he keeps accepting everything (because ofc thats his due as king, if nothing else) so Sqh figures he's humoring him and letting him try to woo him properly. Sqh is ecstatic. Mbj thinks sqh has taken on his aid role with far more enthusiasm than usual.
• The main problem, I fear, is that Sqh has been spoiling Mbj lmao
• Like, my guy has gone above and beyond for Mbj, so when he steps up his game to court him, Mbj naturally thinks he just freaking promoted himself or something lmao.
• This goes on for years. Dear lord.
• Anyways, Sqh thinks they've been in a committed romantic relationship for years and is in the process of preparing a proposal, and Mbj is there, trying very hard to think of a way to woo his advisor and start courting him. (All attempts so far have been met with an exasperated [read:fond] sigh, that while don't outright reject him, show no other reaction [sqh thinks these are bouts of romantic moods, and it just spurrs him to get things ready for a proposal sooner. Clearly, his king wants him to put a ring on him].
We've all gotten just a bit too comfortable being jerks to strangers on the internet I think
So I've hidden this reply, both because it's obnoxious and because I don't want the person who wrote it being harassed for it, but I need you to understand: I don't know you. We are not friends. This is not fun or cute, we are not sharing a charming joke together. You are just being an asshole.
literally that is what the post is about, I am saying people should be less eager to jump on any chance to be snarky and rude to total strangers on the internet
DID THE JOURNAL FACTORY FUCKING EXPLODE???
you said it yourself: you're looking to vent it LITERALLY ANYWHERE
so vent it somewhere private. or at least not literally aimed AT another person, a total stranger at that
Like, this reblogger sounds so insanely self centered in their reblog. notice how both options focus on how being rude would affect THEM. "B has no consequences for me so it's perfectly fine to do"
(the only reason I didn't show their username in the screenshot is because, given how self victimizing they sound in their reblog, I believe that, if I did show their username, suddenly online stuff wouldn't seem so inconsequential to them and they'd accuse me of sending harrassment their way and putting them in danger)
You said it better than I could. Of all the inane and ridiculous things I've seen in my notes because of this post, "I NEED to say fuck you to strangers or I will literally die" is certainly one of them
I enjoy a joke about fucked up German fairy tales as much as the next nerd, but it's genuinely striking how often the source for the really fucked up stuff turns out to be "yeah, this is only in the Brothers Grimm version and doesn't appear in any extant oral tradition, and we're like 80% sure they added it themselves". To a large extent it's not German fairy tales that are fucked up, it's two specific German dudes.
in retrospect we probably should have given the fairy tale writing to the Brothers Happy instead
"average German fairy tale is full of fucked up shit" factoid actualy just statistical error. average German fairy tales are no more fucked up than others. Fucked-Up Shit Enjoyers Wilhelm and Jacob, who lived in cave & wrote fucked up fairy tales each day, are an outlier adn should not have been counted
You listen to music regularly? Why? Have you even tried quitting? Could you quit? You get music stuck in your head? Wow. You're so ruined and music brained. I bet you make your partners listen to music with you when you have sex. Music addiction has really ruined a whole generation. You know it's not realistic to expect reverb in real life, right? You're probably so desensitized that you don't even feel anything anymore when you hear a bird singing that it wants some fuck.
I don't have a problem with people listening to music per se, but I do have a problem with the music industry exploiting & mistreating artists.
Personally, I abstain from all music in order to keep my hands clean but really music should just be illegal outright to protect musicians from abuse.
holy shit this person in the notes

Hello, tumblr! I saw something on here the other day that worried me, so I decided to Do Science about it. But I can't do it alone: I need your help to build the dataset!
Here's what I need you to do:
If you see a post with a "mature content" label, and it's 2026, DM me a link to the post.
Yes, that's really it.
I am hoping to collect several thousand such posts, so that I have a decent sized dataset. I do not care what the post is about; if it's labeled as "mature content", I want to add it to my dataset.
If I get 10,000 posts in my dataset before August 31st 2026, I will post my preliminary findings then. I won't feel comfortable calling my findings "settled" before 2027, unless I get over 50,000 posts.
Tumblr Science FAQ, round 1
What's your hypothesis, OP?
I am not talking about that unless I have results to share. That would bias the results.
I did write them down and I did share them with a trusted contact who can prove that I wrote them down the same day I made this post. (While I did so before I made this post, I am not sure they will be able to provide proof of that, because I did so on the same day.)
OP are you interested in...?
Do you have to click through to see the post? Does the clickthrough contain the words "mature content"? Then yes.
OP are you interested if the post is about...?
I am interested in the mature content labels, not the content of the post. Is there a clickthrough that contains the words "mature content"? Then yes.
Tumblr Science FAQ, round 2
Should I reblog this for reach?
Yes, please. I felt really silly when I noticed I forgot to include that in the original post.
Is it okay if I send you my own posts?
Yes, those are perfect for what I'm looking for. I actually need to do some processing on a post to make it useful for testing my hypothesis, and this makes it easy.
Are you looking for "potentially mature content" also, or just "mature content"?
I want both, please. Anything that throws up a blocking screen that you have to click through. The distinctions between them are one of the things I am hoping to study.
Does it matter when the post was made originally?
Technically no. There's no way to respond to this without introducing some bias in the results, and I don't want that. However, I do collect some data on a post as part of making it useful to me, and that data is easier to collect if the post is recent.
What if I request content label review on a post after I send it to you?
I need to see the mature content label to be able to use the post. Because the mature content label hides the content of the post, it is very hard to use a post that no longer has a mature content label. You could send me a screenshot, but people could use that to lie to me.
Basically, it's more work for you to make it usable to me.
OP are you a transphobe? It would ruin the experiment for me if you're a transphobe.
I promise I'm not a transphobe and not doing this for transphobic reasons. You should still double-check that I'm not a transphobe for yourself, though. I am not sure that this study will have the useful effects you're hoping for; I am studying something specific, and it may not be what you hope.
Hey did you draw that evil feminist caricature to warn men how their wives would act once they got the right to vote? Illustrator: sure did boss. real sexy, just like you asked.

He's their li'l bro!! I love the Bazonga Line, I'm glad there are people willing to be rowdy with Jean
I recently learned the term "cornplating", which apparently means reaching a level of fannish obsession such that you've analyzed every analyzable thing your canon has to offer and now you're just dredging the bottom of the barrel for new observations like "lol wow I didn't notice Dolores was holding a plate of corn for two seconds there."
I sit atop a throne of cornplates. I have been cornplating most of my life. I cornplated so hard I ascended and met God. I figured out who Tura Olura's lover was. I know why John Gaius waited ten thousand years and what message Aim is carrying. Give me an unlimited pretzel budget and a solitary prison cell and I could cornplate Alecto the Ninth out of thin air. This word was made for me.
just saw a deactivated mutual's post on my dash. that's my dead wife's corpse you're all dragging around
I also reblog this guys dead wife.
