It’s been one year since we escaped the real world together and imagined ourselves someplace simpler. With tall tall trees and salt air. Where you’re allowed to wear lace nightgowns that make you look like a Victorian ghost every day & no one will side eye you cause no one is around. It’s just you and your imaginary cabin and the stories you make up to pass the time. To say thank you for all you have done to make this album what it was, I wanted to give you the original version of The Lakes. Happy 1 year anniversary to Rebekah, Betty, Inez, James, Augustine, and the lives we all created around them. Happy Anniversary, folklore. 🌿

I cannot fucking believe I am drunk, past midnight, and tumblr is throwing fucking saturated fatty-acids at me

[musicprincess655]

Listen here friendo I didn’t sit through a year of organic chemistry for you to come into my house and call a carboxylic acid a saturated fatty acid you respect that hexadecanoic acid

[bismuthcladbattleship]

And I didnt get a degree in biochemistry to hear you say that carboxylic acids with aliphatic chains arent fatty acids. That hexadecanoic acid IS a saturated fatty acid!

love triangles can’t exist without at least 1 lgbt person. cishets just don’t know how shapes work

[peachy-pumpkin-deactivated-deac]

I’ve created this helpful info graphic

[ros3quart2]

Most of the characters that people call a love triangle is really just a love corner. And the woman is usually backed into it.

...so i just reread burning maze bc the last time i checked on trials of apollo there were only 3 books and...I KNEW WHAT WAS COMING I EXPECTED IT I'VE SEEN IT BEFORE I'VE READ IT TWICE BEFORE AND STILL ALKDJFL;KSDFJALKSDFJASLKDFASJDF

I HATE YOU RICK RIORDAN

[xcusemeiloveyou]

also ahem piper mclean? i'm getting HUGE comphet vibes... now she's singing a song called 'life of illusion' and insinuating aphrodite pushed to her to believe that she needed to date jason and that her feelings were real and that she loved him in the romantic way...huh 👀

she's having a whole freaking identity crisis in this book and i know rick riordan wouldn't do something like this on accident... are you trying to tell us something?? the annabeth/piper forehead touch scene is currently coming to mindddddddd

(someone in the fandom pls tell me if i'm right because i know for sure you gays have noticed something??? right????)

[xcusemeiloveyou]

finished the series :)

I WAS RIGHT???? FOR ONCE??? PIPER WOOHOO CANONICALLY QUEER!!

holy heck that never happens i’m stunned

IDK WHY I GOT SO EMOTIONAL AAAA

disjjdjwkd i don’t even know what to say but i love this so freaking much and it’s almost 2 am but idc because agh rick is such a good writer? hope we get more of these characters 🥰

"second chance" song analysis (but with unclear lyrics i think i'm hearing!)

this song really highlights the individual characters' personalities/goals and how they play into their really complicated relationships. i also really love that they're all in their audition outfits because it from the beginning the main four have had super complicated relationships with each other and they've gone through so much development. full circle moment!!

nina:

she needs to rediscover herself! "finding out who i wanna be" means breaking free of boys and their perception of her. (perfect setup for a queer storyline honestly!). "second chance to fly" meaning she's getting a second chance. first yac, which she gave up and now she's taking her songwriting to the next level (another leaked scene in which gina asks her. i think jamie might work with her after recognizing her talent and that's how she gets another chance to fly).

ej:

"second chance to fall" i think he got a second chance to fall in love? maybe second chance to not meet expectations (in a good way)? first with chad and then with not going to duke? who knows? "i gotta do what i want" means not going to duke and choosing his future instead of inheriting it.

gina:

she's finally settling in a place, which is new for her, ironically. she's "safer when [she's] on the run" but she needs to learn how to feel unsafe (something nina has already learned to do). "what can make the tide turn?" her second chance, i think, is a second chance at normal. after years of moving and inconsistency and putting on masks to protect herself, she finally gets a chance to settle down, make friends, find love, etc.

ricky:

he's learning how to start over. this whole season really highlighted how much he struggles with change and his whole life pretty much exploded in his face in the last year. he's starting over (with gina?) he asks "what can make the fire burn?" he's starting over with himself. his parents' relationship strained him a lot, and he projected onto his and nina's which blew up in his face. and just... the damage spilled outwards and ricky's a little broken. (ricky x therapy otp let's go) he's getting a second chance (which is also a really cool reference to "common sense" by joshua bassett, intentional or not).

anyway- this was mostly a ramble for me to organize my floaty thoughts... but i think one thing is clear. this isn't just "the end." as corny as this next sentence is... i think it's a new beginning. they're not going to give us a song called "second chances" and then go "yeet haha bye bye we're not going to actually see half of them get their second chances"

POST PLUS IS COMING, WHETHER YOU WANT IT OR NOT!

Despite the fancy survey, changes to the UI and TOS reveal we’re getting the service in the future whether we want it or not. Obviously, Post+ is a terrible idea that is trying to bank revenue on user content. Unlike patreon or onlyfans, tumblr’s primary focus is on FAN content. The legality of this is NOT in the users favor and as the new tumblr TOS states, said users will be entirely liable for whatever legal matters arise.

SO WHAT ARE WE DOING?

Besides filling out the survey, it’s time to show tumblr we mean business and show our displeasure by hitting them where it hurts.

Ad revenue.

We’re proposing a 24 hour log off as phase one of this protest.

WHEN IS THE PROTEST?

AUGUST 6th, 2021        12 am Eastern Time (US)          5 am Greenwich Mean Time          6 am Central European Time          8 am Moscow Standard Time          1 pm Australian Western Time          2 pm Japan Standard Time          3:30 pm Australian Central Time          4 pm Australian Eastern Time

AUGUST 5th, 2021

11 pm Central Time (US)          10 pm Mountain Time (US)            9 pm Pacific Time (US)

THE END TIME IS 24 HOURS FROM START TIME!!!

So no posting, no queues, no likes, and no reblogs!

WHAT IF I CAN’T/WHAT ELSE CAN I DO?

Like this post and share it AS MANY TIMES AS POSSIBLE. Use the hashtags #tumblrlogoff2021 or #postplusprotest on ANY and ALL social media.

WILL THIS WORK?

Maybe, maybe not. It’s an attempt at doing SOMETHING.

BECAUSE I’M A TIRED IDIOT, USE THIS TO DOUBLE CHECK YOUR TIME ZONE!!!!

Event Time Announcer - Log off protest 2021

Event Time Announcer shows time for Log off protest 2021 in locations all over the world. In New York it happens on Friday, August 6, 2021 a

As much as I hate to say this because this hellsite is a big part of my life, I think we should all participate in this. And you know what, it’s actually because this hellsite means so much to me that I think we should do this. post+ will hurt content creators and possibly shut down tumblr itself (though they’re much better protected than we could ever be). Don’t use post+. Use the link above and find when you should log off to help

Please stop trigger tagging with #epilepsy tw/cw/warning/etc.

I need every single person to understand how horrible tumblr’s tagging system is

I go into the tag for epilepsy and its all flashing lights. We can’t use our own tag because people without epilepsy fill it up with improper warnings.

Use ‘flashing’ in place of ‘epilepsy’ in your tags. You aren’t warning people of epileptics, you’re warning us of flashing lights. Please please tag properly. Epileptics say this endlessly and constantly and it’s ignored. You are risking lives by doing this.

Here’s proof of what I mean:

THIS POST IS 100% OKAY TO REBLOG, I ENCOURAGE PEOPLE WITHOUT EPILEPSY TO ESPECIALLY DO SO!

[xcusemeiloveyou]
