I feel that this is an important case study in Tumblr demographics and what the polls are actually reflecting

actually based on my math this is currently pretty representative! 2.7% of respondents live in the most populous cities, which would be 216 million people (of 8 billion), and the total population of those 9 cities is just over 214 million!

SCENARIOS

  1. Your lover isn't feeling well, and even though it's probably dangerous to drive this late at night, you have to make sure they're all right.
  2. Head between their knees, your lover has their back against the wall, and you're by their side, and trying to help them through whatever is troubling them.
  3. Your best friend's lover broke up with them, and despite having no idea, you supply them with snacks and horrendous movies. At least they smiled at the end of it all.
  4. Trying to keep a smile on your face through the weight of the world to not worry your lover. They figure it out anyway.
  5. Standing in front of a mirror, hands against the counter, with tears dripping down your cheeks, struggling to get everything under control. Everything’s going well until your lover cracks the door open and asks if everything’s okay. It isn’t.
  6. Seeing your lover break down over work/school/family, and trying to comfort them to the best of your abilities, heart breaking with every sob out of their lips. 
  7. Struggling to sleep in you and your lover’s shared bed because they’re working in the living room/kitchen/their office and the bed feels far too cold and empty. Seeking their comfort, you curl up on their lap/beside them/around them. 
  8. Knowing from the moment they said good morning that something was wrong, and trying to schedule your day to spend the most time with them; arms around their neck, waist, shoulders, to provide comfort.
  9. Your lover’s back against your chest, you curled around them. Every agitated breath and erratic heartbeat pulsing through your skin, but slowly, it starts to fall over time. 
  10. Your back against your lover’s chest, their slow heartbeat stark against your stressed one. Gently, the rise and fall of their chest lull you back to safety. 
  11. Sitting in the car, your head against the headrest and mind spinning, but your lover’s hand firm against your thigh keeps you grounded to reality. 
  12. Your ex is trying to embarrass you in public, but your lover steps in as a shield, eyes ablaze in a fury.
  13. Your head against your lover's chest, tears drenching their shirt, they don't care about the wet fabric and just rub your back.
  14. Lungs squeezed to death, you try to breathe through the overwhelming suffocation on your shoulders. Patiently, your lover holds your hands and squeezes them in time with their breaths, eyes gentle.
  15. Your lover made a small/big mistake and they can’t get it out of their head. To everyone else, it was just a small mishap, so you spend a few minutes/an hour/the rest of the night holding and comforting them.
  16. Done with the feeling of being an burden, you try to push away from your lover's comfort, only for them to drag you back into a firm hold.
  17. Something horrible happened, but your lover won't answer the phone/any texts. Standing outside of your door, you threaten to start throwing rocks at their windows/slamming on their door if they don't give any proof that they're all right.
  18. You found your lover on a cold metal bench, hair and clothing drenched, tears pooling down their cheeks. Instead of asking what's wrong, you put your jacket over their shoulders and open up an umbrella.
  19. Your lover's burning up and for some reason keeps bursting into tears at the smallest things. You're a little bewildered, but stay near them all the same.
  20. After an all-nighter, your lover's brain is scrambled, and they keep shedding tears when they think nobody's looking. After coaxing them into your arms, you curl into one another on the couch.
  21. Your lover wakes up to you gasping for air, eyes wide as you just saw horrors beyond your own comprehension. They sling an arm around your waist and pull you close, face tucked against your neck. 
  22. Underneath the blankets, you refuse to get out of bed. Despite feeling horrible about yourself, your lover refuses to leave you be and makes you breakfast, all with a gentle smile.
  23. Your best friend's spouse cheated on them right before valentines day, so as their best friend, you spend the rest of the night trash-talking over bad rom-coms.
  24. Your lover right beside you, comforting you as you weren't able to get the job you wanted/into the university you applied to. Their encouragement makes one more attempt seem not so bad.
  25. Your best friend's drunk and wailing, and you're trying to both comfort them and stop them from climbing into the washing machine.

holy fuck people send me a number in my asks with a ship and i’ll write something for you

PLEASE i’m so bored

Storytelling Techniques

A good storytelling method is essential for writing good fiction. There are many storytelling techniques that can be used to create engaging and memorable stories. Here are some common techniques you can use in your stories:

  1. Use sensory details: Including sensory details in your story can help your audience imagine the scene and get emotionally invested in the story. For example, you can describe the colors, sounds, and smells of a place or event.
  2. Build tension and suspense: Tension and suspense are important for keeping your audience engaged and invested in your story. You can create tension by introducing a conflict or challenge that the characters must overcome.
  3. Foreshadowing: Foreshadowing is a technique used to hint at future events in the story. This can create anticipation and keep your audience engaged.
  4. Use pacing effectively: Pacing refers to the speed at which the story unfolds. Make sure to vary the pacing to keep your audience engaged. For example, you can slow down the pacing during emotional or reflective moments, and speed it up during action scenes.
  5. Show, don't tell: Instead of simply telling your audience what is happening in the story, show them through vivid descriptions and actions. This can help your audience feel more immersed in the story.
  6. Use metaphor and simile: Metaphors and similes can help create vivid descriptions and comparisons in your story. They can also help to convey complex ideas in a more accessible way.
  7. Flashbacks and flash-forwards: Flashbacks and flash-forwards can help provide context for the story and create tension. Make sure to use them sparingly and at appropriate moments in the story.
  8. Use humor: Humor can be a powerful tool for engaging your audience and making your story more memorable. Just make sure that the humor is appropriate for the tone and subject matter of your story.
  9. Suspenseful chapter endings: Ending chapters on a suspenseful note can help keep your audience engaged and eager to read on.

By using these techniques and others, you can create a compelling and memorable story that will engage and entertain your audience.

What the fuck is this??????????

Folks: you CANNOT censor trigger tags. When you block a tag, it doesn't block other "spellings" of it. Writing it as "r@pe" or "r4p3" means that someone who has "tw rape" as a blocked tag will still see that post because you didn't wanna say the word rape. You are hurting people. Do not censor words, because people do not have those filtered out.

And honestly if you can't even write the word rape to protect other people then you probably aren't old/mature enough to be on this website.

Hate when people post these videos with "ethnic" tag and leave out who these people are, what their culture is or even what they're singing in.

Anyway, this is probably one of the best bands of this decade and they're Otyken!

I can't recommend My Wing enough. Their songs are so much fun - Genesis is also a blast. Go listen to them!!!!

BTW, “apiary work” means beekeeping! (An Otyken beekeeping music video!)

today the supreme court has ruled that businesses are allowed to discriminate against the LGBTQ+ community, in addition to taking steps to dismantle affirmative action. absolutely sick to my stomach right now. generations of progress gone within a day. on the last day of pride month they had to get their last fucking laugh huh?

Avatar

No. No they didn't. What they ruled was that it was permissible to refuse to create a custom piece of work endorsing gay marriage. That is not the same as a general permission to discriminate.

Still awful, still regressive, but if I am not mistaken the wording was more to the tune of: it was permissible to refuse to provide a service that would involve contributing to free speech that you would not personally endorse. So based on that I encourage all queer friendly business owners to refuse service to anyone wearing MAGA hats, anything supporting the GOP, etc because serving them would equate to endorsing their viewpoint and you do not have to be forced to do that. (And college alumni, stop giving donations to your alma mater if their practices for accepting students do not inolve taking steps to fill in the gap in opportunity that diversity initiatives are no longer permitted to service.)

twitter users pls pls pls reblog art if you don’t start reblogging more i’ll steal something from ur house 😕 first warning

PSA: bot comments are taking over ao3

The above examples have been provided with the authors' permission to demonstrate what these look like.

Basic rundown:

  • They are all 3 sentences long
  • Perfect grammar, capitalization, and punctuation
  • Like absolutely flawless English teacher-style writing with only a single exclamation mark, ever
  • No mentions whatsoever of character names, settings, situations, or anything that could be tied to the story
  • The usernames may be identical to people who exist on ao3, but the name is not clickable, and no profile is associated with it EXCEPT when you directly search for that name. What this means: the comments come from an unregistered (not logged in) reader, bots scrape the site for real usernames, attach that to the comment, and post

Please spread the word about this so authors can filter comments and report them accordingly

There has been some speculation about why this is happening at all, and the best guess is that this is a feature that AI-training story-scraping tools are implementing to try and make their browsing traffic look legitimate

what fresh hell is this?

Well, this is a new one. Haven’t seen this yet, but we’ll see…

Oh, so twitter is DEAD dead

By intention, no less.

per the Emerald Boyking (whose picture I have thoughtfully cut in half, you are welcome)

I don’t LIKE this happening but it is amazing HOW it is

It's totally not "temporary". He has said that so he can backtrack when twitter blows up. Which it has. Or it was doing, before I dooms rolled through my 600 read tweets limit watching people call him names.

Now I just get the "rate limited" message. 🙄

These are the most plausible suggestions I’ve seen as to what’s actually going on

and

Apparently it was their google cloud contract ended at midnight. He’s such a fuckwit.

How is he doing an even worse job than we all thought he would? Our expectations were SO LOW.

Nothing funnier to me than dick going to therapy for like 3 months before going to Bruce and being like

“I don’t wanna be Batman”

And Bruce kinda just looks at him like “….okaaayy?? I didn’t want you to be Batman”

So dick has to go to therapy for ANOTHER three months so he can ask Bruce about That only for Bruce to be like, “who in their right mind would pick Batman over Nightwing??? When given the choice a world without Nightwing would be a nightmare”

And then dick goes home and cries because his dad is proud of him

Diet Coke is somehow the only thing that stops my migraines, and it reminds me of my best friend. Cape Cod potato chips are my go to salty snack and I live 10 minutes from the factory, so they make me feel cool.

Food is more than fuel. It’s memories and satisfaction and tradition and home and culture.

There’s nothing evil about that.”
