Mario creepypasta fundamentally doesn't work because you know what Mario would actually do if we saw some dimension-warping hundred-handed cosmic horror? He wouldn't lose his mind; he'd take one look at that Shin Megami Tensei looking fucker, pull out his dorky little mushroom-shaped cell phone, hit the fourth number down on his contact list, and go "hey, Kirby, I think-a one-a your boys got lost".

"Or he'd just fight it himself" no, he would not, for two reasons:

gonna start saying “you couldn’t make x movie today” but for reasons unrelated to political correctness

you couldn’t make Home Alone 2: Lost in New York today because the strict airport regulations put into place after 9/11 make it nigh impossible for a child to simply walk onto the wrong plane

You couldn’t make American psycho today because Christian Bale would actually kill Jared Leto for real

I don’t see that as a deal breaker.

uhhhh why are they flirting with making likes a public thing on this site… what i like is between me and god

Girlies our likes are no longer safe

@changes babygirl no

i use likes to show support on people’s personal posts that i do not want to reblog!!

this is deeply counter to the culture of the website!

This is a rename of the option previously known as “in your orbit” to make its function more transparent. This option already respected the privacy of your likes and that has not changed.

People make jokes about poorly made podcasts and how common it is now for people to try and make one but honestly I love a medium that any one can try. I love badly recorded audio. I love using a comforter or a closet as a sound booth. I love getting your friends together to make a low budget project. I love people being able to include more representation without having to go through the intensive process it might take to get characters and scenes approved in other mediums.

yes!!! podcasts are one of the easiest ways to break into the creative industry, even if it doesn’t go anywhere! I have a mic, some acting friends, audacity, and some time, and I’m making a podcast!! all my characters are queer, so what? most of my characters have mental illness, what are you gonna do about it?? it’s mine!! it’s really fun and really cool, I would recommend, even if you have no idea what you’re doing!!!

Also, and this is very important:

Poorly made projects will ALWAYS be better than projects you never make because you're obsessed with its quality.

Because you MADE something. And that makes you a CREATOR.

And maybe it's not as poorly made as you think. Maybe you need other people to see or hear it. Maybe you've done something a LOT of people will love and you can keep making it until it's better.

Or maybe you can make the bad audio a feature and call it "vintage" or "analog" or make it part of the conceit of your show. That's what we did ;)

Black Box is made in my spare room on a tiny laptop

With a £30 USB microphone

Voice lines from VAs scattered across the world

Audacity (the software and the behavioural trait)

A blanket I wear over my head like a soundproofing shroud

And I am SO PROUD OF IT

"Poorly made projects will ALWAYS be better than projects you never make because you're obsessed with its quality."

Just repeating this for the people in the back 💙

girls when they get overstimulated in the grocery store

this is so nostalgic. tumblr rolls out something terrible. everyone complains. it breaks several people's dashboards. for some reason it only rolls out to a few people at a time with seemingly no warning. the community collectively and immediately searches for a browser extension that undoes the change. i know we've all gotten burnt out on all social media sucking but this is genuinely The tumblr experience. everyone who hasn't gotten it already gets an achievement. welcome to the club

i do not “watch” riverdale. riverdale is not a show that you “watch.” riverdale is something you witness. akin to the divine. every week roberto aguirre-sacasa himself has allowed us to witness some kind of unhinged godly message beamed down directly from the heavens to our televisions and it is only the brave and devoted few who stand witness to the history unfolding before our eyes. the holy truths of the universe (homosexuality) being written before us

“and the fans are throwing celebratory rats on the ice” god I love hockey

the beautiful game!!!!!!

The crowd once the game concludes:

You guys know that some people paint their rats right

'can i copy your homework?'

'yeah just don't make it obvious'

Reminder that this is an experiment as per their official announcement (screenshot below).

Since this is an experiment, give your feedback to staff!

And remember to be specific on how this new navigation layout they are experimenting with is not working for you; hating it is one thing, but usability on different devices with different screen orientations, operating system, etc., would be much more impactful and meaningful.
