it'd take more than falling off a cliff to keep me from you

@clairelutra / clairelutra.tumblr.com

my fics for mobile users || my gifs || my vids || my art hallie || she/her || INFP || now on pillowfort and dreamwidth! I see you've taken a liking to Belgarath.

yo, i’m hallie, she/her, writer and fangirl.

i try to stay heavy on the escapism, but when i do reblog world-related things, i tag it “#current events //” + general topic.

other posts are tagged with fandom(s) (if any) and ship(s) (if any). if you need a trigger/content warning on anything, feel free to let me know and i’ll do my best.

discourse stances that might pop up from time to time: ship and let ship, KINKTOMATO, death of the author, etc.

important links:

current obsessions:

  • daine/numair from the immortals quartet ( ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ !!!!! )

dni if:

  • you don’t want to interact

live your best life, fam. <3

I'm completely serious.

If your doctor has a TikTok account, get a second opinion.

If you see a nurse making a TikTok at work, make a formal request that this specific nurse not treat you.

They aren't thinking of their patients' care, they're thinking about making cringey TikToks about their patients.

The thing that distinguishes Tumblr shitposts from shitposts on other social media platforms isn't the content, it's the register. The hairpin code-switching between very formal and very vulgar speech – the kind of speech that will use the words "increasingly" and "fucktrumpet" in the same sentence.

It's the Homestuck accent

Thank you so much! This is the absolute worst way you could've described this type of speech

PSA!

When you’re copying a URL that has a question mark in it, that question mark AND EVERYTHING AFTER IT are completely unnecessary. It’s tracking data telling the website whether you copied the URL from their share function, or visited them via twitter, or what search terms you used to find that page.

So a URL that looks like this:

https://www.somewebsite.com/article/thingthatscool?ID=26079&pla_country=US&CAGPSPN=pla&&trackingid=509x1052199823&m_sc=sem&m_sb=Google&m_tp=PLA&m_ac=Google_SH_PLA_Tabletop&m_ag=Noritake&m_cn=GS_Dinnerware_PLA_Restructure&m_pi=go_cmp-13050559898_adg-127803968051_ad-520677613594_pla-1260381317191_dev-c_ext-_prd-37725010212USAgo_cmp-13050559898_adg-127803968051_ad-_pla-1260381317191_dev-c_ext-&gclid=Cj0KCQjw54iXBhCXARIsADWpsG9Z5UOydUwZHBdA_NFYMTu3kG2u3kzIT-ooPt5bd3ZtAgyRnF0aqE4aAozBEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds

can usually become

https://www.somewebsite.com/article/thingthatscool

You can delete all that tracking shit, and the URL should still work. You can even test it in a new tab first before sharing it, if you're an anxious mess like me.

Go forth and tell your friends! And maybe I will no longer have to see URLs on tumblr or Discord that take up a full screen.

“um, er, if Loid is supposed to be so smart, why hasn’t he questioned the fact that Yor has superhuman strength and hyper-capable fighting prowess???” because it’s funny

i don’t know what the scene is like on tumblr but there’s a weirdly non-zero amount of people on twitter who keep pushing this take and they’re getting dangerously close to just flat-out saying “plot hole, ding???” Spy x Family is a comedy, please relax

Anti-revenge narrative this, anti-revenge narrative that, I personally think that Inigo Montoya had the right idea when he stabbed Count Rugen in the gut and said "I want my father back, you son of a bitch"

A lot of revenge arcs end with the hero saying "there's nothing you can do to bring my loved one back, so me seeking revenge is pointless." The Princess Bride's revenge arc ends with Inigo Montoya saying "there's nothing you can do to bring my loved one back, so there's nothing that can save you."

man being on tumblr in 2015 was so weird like people would talk about how tiddy anime was singlehandedly fueling the patriarchy with unrealistic mammaries and half the time ""unrealistic"" was just fuckin #relatablebigtittyproblems like SORRY i jiggle when i do literally anything braless sorry my boobs bump into so much shit by accident sorry i've popped buttons off my chest by stretching wrong in a buttondown!! i do not control the mass!! i don't Want to be a tool of the patriarchy foisting horny ~*~unrealistic expectations~*~ on the young impressionable girlies watchig the japanese cartoons, i literally cannot help it!!

the thing is, also... every discussion about Whether The MCU Is Garbage or Is Disney Irredeemably Evil or Has Star Wars Gone On Too Long or Why Does It Feel Like There's Been Just Three Shows On American TV For The Past 3 Decades inevitably ends up at "hey but don't shame people for wanting to have fun and escape the continuous nightmare of late capitalism for 2 hours a night" and like. fair. being effortlessly entertained is a valid desire that deserves to be fulfilled. but the thing is. and I really don't wanna be That Guy but. if you're coming back home from your soul-crushing corporate job into your alienated nuclear household, tired from a busy day of doing some bullshit to make a living, and you feel dead inside, and your idea of escape is to tune into the next installment of something that's not really cinema as much as like, a long serialised commercial for the fast fashion items with the popular character of the month, then I'm sorry bro but you're not really going anywhere. you're not escaping, you're sinking deeper in. and look. it's your god given right to watch schlocky TV and then go read fanfic about it. but if you're wondering why all this dazzling entertainment still leaves you feeling so empty you just wanna scream and scream and scream, then you might actually have an acute case of going too long without consuming any media that has an intent beyond draining your money and time and a formula beyond regurgitating what sold best last year
