Notice how tumblr doesnt mind shrimp presenting nip

So many wips I want to finish. So many....

[sparrowlucero]

is it just me or is all online discussion about any piece of media at least 23% people who haven't actually watched the thing and just read tumblr posts about it

[sparrowlucero]

#or they watch a video essay in the background while they do like laundry #like please!! draw your own conclusions by directly engaging with the source!!

one of the biggest examples of this to me across the board is how most criticisms of the bbc show Sherlock (usually presented as personal grievances) are very obviously taken directly from the video "Sherlock is Garbage and Here's Why", an essay which often quite heavily misrepresents or reads hostility into the text in such a way that you just wouldn't naturally come to the same conclusions if you had watched the show instead of the essay

Spooky season here. Time to play with magic that is beyond the mortal mind to comprehend.

Qobuz is the most ethical alternative to spotify and even tidal (tidal is just pandora radio in a different font; you can't curate playlists, which i absolutely fucking hate, but you can curate playlists on qobuz, and the royalties they pay to their artists are far larger than spotify) that i've been able to find, thanks to this post on instagram by singer-songwriter laura burhenn. the post also lists other alternatives, including tidal, but qobuz is by far the best of the lot. they even have a free feature called soundiiz where you can transfer all of your playlists from spotify to qobuz!

Worth a reblog for this great info.

we need to invent a way to explain how deep running and pervasive and subliminal racism and antiblackness is without immediately sounding like an insane conspiracy theorist

[rabbitscreams]

female characters are always lighter than male characters. strong characters are almost always dark. aggressive characters are almost always dark. peaceful and intelligent characters are almost always light. even amongst darker characters the lightest one is usually either the leader or the girls. dark is evil and light is good.

[rabbitscreams]

if you try to explain this to a white person they look at you like youre insane

[gay-milton-quotes]

briefly pursuing a career in animation radicalized me on this. So many stories from the industry about how you have to start with your character design as dark as possible, because INEVITABLY you'll get "notes" from higher-ups asking you to make them lighter.

In a class about making a pitch bible my teacher once role-played as a shitty executive with a classmate, pressing them in intentionally abrasive ways about why they made their characters diverse. He emphasized that we had to learn to defend these things, because the racism in the industry is extremely deliberate.

Ronald Wimberly's comic essay, Lighten Up, stays evergreen

[tlirsgender]

I just think dating is a scam like 90% of the time. Joker voice And I'm tired of pretending it's not

[tlirsgender]

I can buy the concept of romance existing but the social song and dance of Dating specifically is so, like. Ok. So we're all just expected to walk around performing desirability & having coffee with people you find mildly interesting & Hopefully you will Feel Something for one of them. & if you keep it up long enough you can get legally bound and financially dependent on each other and have kids or something, not because you want them but because you're so fucking normal. This is supposed to be your #1 priority in life btw. Are you insane?

[tlirsgender]

And people will be like "you'll never be happy if you don't successfully have coffee with someone you think is mildly interesting, it's so sad that you're not having coffee with someone you think is mildly interesting" & I'm sitting here like I don't think that's true actually I think I'm doing pretty good. I have other things fulfilling my admittedly lower than average need for human connection, like friends

[zennertumbles]

Have tried exactly two relationships with friends. Felt weird. Didn't get it. I stopped knowing how to feel about them as soon as it was mutually decided that we were calling friendship something else.

I thought, maybe it would work better with strangers, no complicated preconceptions. So I asked out a cute gas station attendant who was always making small talk with me. Person seemed very excited.

They spent the entire date talking about themself and exes and making up tall tales.

After this experience I am baffled at the idea that people really do just routinely hit a gachapon that requires them to spend money and possibly two hours or more of their time, and one of the things that you can win (and probably with some regularity) is sitting through someone yapping and lying to try and impress you. I would rather help an old lady with her flower bed or something idk man.

catch you on the flip side, dead man

(do not tag as fandom character/your oc)

[afellowgoodsir]

Which almost useless power will you accept?

Always knowing exactly what time it is

Being able to precisely date memories

Automatically knowing the legal first name of everyone you see

Perfect balance

Able to remember all of your dreams

Control of your body temperature

Slightly, noticeably bioluminescent

if it pleases thee, reblog for greater sample size

[zennertumbles]

In what way is control of your body temperature almost useless. You would be immune to heat exhaustion and hypothermia. You could do outdoors shit without the most glaring issue that almost anyone on this planet is immediately aware of in any non-temperate climate. You could put your ice cold fingers on the back of anyone's neck at any time, you could save huge on your power bills if you live alone. GO OUTSIDE, TUMBLR!! I mean unless that's just not an option for you but seriously
