- hey guys whats up
how’d you make a blank post?
captainsnoop
- you make a bulleted list and press tab until the text either is all the way on the right or it disappears depending on the resolution of the computer it’s viewed on. also, it doesn’t work on mobile.
please tell me
This is the most hilarious thing to see on mobile.
My pet peeve with fan fiction is when there's this super cool ass teacher character (aizawa, gojo, kakashi whatever your cup of tea is) and then you find this AMAZING fic idea... and then it's student x teacher :|
Like I'm sorry if that's rude but realistically:
Aizawa isn't gonna date a student of his. He's way too professional to do that.
Kakashi wouldn't either, he has too much respect for his students. End of story
Gojo isn't a man whore first off (unless it's like a relationship kinda man whore like he loves y/n so much he's a whore, that's fine) and he DEFINITELY wouldn't date a student of his. Plus his students are FIFTEEN(15) and he's TWENTY EIGHT(28)
It's just weird to me, I don't like thinking that they would date people that much younger than them. It makes them seem gross to me and I hate that trope in fan fiction. It makes me not like them as much which crushes me cause all the fatherly anime characters are huge comforts for me. Plus it shows to me that you don't know the characters at all which also bothers me.
No. Anime teachers would not date you if you were a student idc if you're 18 or not it's not realistic. Plus the student ones are always weird and gross.
If you're mad about my opinion just block me. Not that hard, plus I just don't like that shit irl it pisses me off. And if it IS student x teacher PUT A FUCKING WARNING CAUSE SOME OF US GET REALLY UNCOMFY WITH THAT
Edit cause people dint get this: even if its “fiction” youre aiming this at minors who might not know any better. Youre writing these fics and basically saying its okay to fuck your teacher as long as you both have feelings. This is the same as writing a reader being racist but then saying its fine cause its fiction. Its not an escape if youre writing fucking p3d0philia. AND BLOCK ME IF YOU LIKE THAT STUFF,I DO NOT WANT TO INTERACT WITH YOU. TO ME THIS ISNT AN ARGUMENT THIS IS ME SAYING THINGS THAT MAKE ME UPSET ABOUT FANFICTION AND PREVENT ME FROM ESCAPING REALITY. I JUST WANT COMFORT NOT P3D0PHILA.
Going from being an introverted lurker on reddit to trying to post my own stuff here is so wild. I keep typing out a post, deleting it, then retyping because I think it's not good enough but then I look at other posts and why am I so worried?
It's like I'm at a fancy Italian restaurant and keep glancing around the room to see which hand people use to pick up the forks. But then I realize that everyone is shoveling spaghetti into their mouths using their bare hands and I'm like ah okay so I'm clearly overthinking this
friendly reminder for the new twitter refugees:
- change your icon/pfp and put something coherent in your blog description or you're going to get blocked bcs people think you're a bot
- this site is built around reblogs, so please actually reblog posts(especially art and fics!!)
- you can set your likes and follows to private
- checkmarks here are a meme and mean nothing
- follower counts are private and we like it that way, so get used to not judging people by that metric
- drama and discourse is boring, use your blacklist and block button liberally
- DON'T CENSOR YOURSELF!! we can swear and say kill and make fun of corporations all we want, and if you tiktok-ify your tags people who have things blacklisted for whatever reason will still see them, and people who want to see that content won't be able to find it!! spell words out normally, you won't get in trouble!!
- tumblr live is sketchy as hell and full of fake accounts, if you decide to use it anyway may god have mercy on your soul o7
- be nice to the reddit refugees, they're our friends <3
I cannot stress enough to Tumblr staff that they do not need to change the site. Do not try to be like Twitter. Do not try to be like Reddit. Do not alter how this site works.
Tumblr will be the most popular social media site if they continue letting all these other sites implode
Reblog to send care packages to our troops on the front lines (ao3 volunteers) in their fight against this eminent threat (DDoS attacker).
Just sos you knows, AO3 is down under a DDOS attack right now. They’ve been coming back in little blips and then disappearing again. It’s been several hours. (For reference, it’s currently 3 p.m. eastern, July 10, 2023.)
The culprit (as with a few other DDOS attacks recently) is Anonymous Sudan, a group that is likely Russian, not Sudanese. The ‘reason’ they gave–that AO3 is “full of disgusting smuts and other LGBTQ+ and NSFW things,” is thin and probably not completely legit, though still legitimately concerning.
Reporting on AS: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2023-06-28/anonymous-sudan-does-group-behind-microsoft-cyberattack-have-ties-to-russia (you can use archive.ph to get this one, 12ft doesn’t seem to work)
As noted here, https://twitter.com/honeyskeleton/status/1678449598703050769:
DDOS protection is expensive especially for a high traffic site like ao3. And it’s uniquely vulnerable as an independent site without ads or other corporate support. SPECIFICALLY targeted bc of its queer works and yet ppl will still complain every time they ask for donations lmao
So, again, when AO3 comes back online, please don’t go hard with refreshing all your tabs. Please do remember to download fics you love early and often as you continue in your whole ~reading journey~. And please do support AO3 through a dono or becoming a donating member, if it is possible for you to do so.
“you don’t like the proliferation of terms like Unalive outside of TikTok because you realize that you’re aging out of youth culture and it makes you uncomfortable!”
no I don’t like it because there’s something INCREDIBLY dystopian about being forced to soften terms for basic parts of the human experience like death and sex (and even more so terms for oppressed minorities- call me a “le-dollar sign-bian” and I will bite you) purely because advertisers and corporations demand it
The idea that young people are getting used to not being able to speak in public about sex, queerness etc without talking around censors, and see this as normal and not a problem, scares me tbh.
The fact that people are so comfortable with being censored that they Voluntarily censor themselves on words and topics that aren’t even being limited is a terrifying sign
genuine tip for any tumblr newcomers: block literally whoever you want for any reason. even if you've never talked to them. they don't even need to be "problematic" or whatever. that person posting the worst takes imaginable in your favorite show's tag? block em. that person who runs a blog dedicated to a ship that makes you want to gouge your eyes out? block em. that person you've never interacted with directly but they left a comment on a post you saw and they just seem like a dick? block em.
the block button: it's free, it's easy, it's the key to a peaceful tumblrina life
Tumblr Migration 2: Reddit Boogaloo
We all know about the Twitter immigrants, but there seems to be radio silence on what's happening now with Reddit users from certain subreddits doing a similar thing.
What's happening?
Reddit is restricting their API later this month and killing off third-party apps. An AMA (Ask Me Anything) with the CEO Steve Hoffman was held and it was clear that he would continue with the changes.
In protest, thousands of subreddits across the site are planning to go dark for 48 hours on June 12th. Some are planning to continue indefinitely until the changes are reversed.
Okay, so how does this affect Tumblr?
Some subreddits (mainly queer and left-leaning meme ones, don't worry too much about Reddit Atheists™ overrunning us) are encouraging their users to jump ship to our beloved - and beloathed - hellsite. There will be another influx of new users and many will be unfamiliar with how the site works.
What do us Tumblr users do?
Show them how to use the site; introduce them to the site's culture, tell them to reblog shit and curate their dashboard. Sorta like how we welcomed Twitter users back when they flocked here. Kungpowpenising optional.
I'm new from Reddit, what do I do here?
CHANGE YOUR PROFILE PICTURE AND BANNER TO SOMETHING OTHER THAN DEFAULT BECAUSE THIS SITE IS FILLED WITH BOTS AND YOU MIGHT BE MISTAKEN FOR ONE. This is the FIRST thing you should do after getting a blog.
Other folks can help you with stuff like curating your dashboard or creating sideblogs (or you can look shit up) but please, PLEASE just give yourself an icon and reblog some stuff so people don't mistake you for a bot
This is one of the first posts I've seen after trying to look at Tumblr again, so I've decided to head their advice and reblog this. I don't even know what a reblog is but I'll find out in time. It's a learning process
a reblog is what you just did! it's similar to a retweet on twitter and it's the main way things spread on tumblr

It would be interesting if they get Steven back and he is more like comic Steven. Though I imagine a lot of people wouldn't be happy with how much people like Steven as he is in the show.
I like to imagine that during Dabi's Dance Touya has Diana Ross's I'm coming out in his head
