Something that I really like about The Good Place is that at times it feels like fanfiction. It has that element of taking the same characters and placing them in a reality in which something is different to see what changes about their thoughts and actions and what stays the same. All the different combinations and types of relationships that arise with each reboot (Jason and Janet vs. Jason and Tahani, romantic Eleanor and Chidi vs. platonic Eleanor and Chidi, even mention of a reboot where Eleanor and Tahani were soulmates) totally remind me of fans rewriting the canon to get their ships together. Heck, the most recent season is basically “AU where the characters never died.” You get to see that comparison of “what ifs” whereas in most shows there’s only one canon that they stick to, and I find that so appealing and fun.

If any of you have, or get pillowfort accounts, please let me know!
Hey guys!
My partner just got me a Pillowfort account, so here’s a link to that! https://www.pillowfort.io/Formerlybees! Hopefully Pillowfort will get popular enough that we won’t need this hellsite. I do worry the “Pay to enter” may be iffy for some people even when it’s only 5 dollars, but, we’ll see.
in trying to ban nipples tumblr has forced me to see the word “nipples” more times in one evening than I have in my entire 8 years on this website
I need a word that encompasses ‘maybe touched’, ‘profoundly weirded out’ and ‘…oh’.
And gleeful as fuck. For truly, the internet is for porn.
WAIT
…….fuck it. I wonder what the pornhub pay out is like compared to patreon.
oh god what is going on now
guys calm down, you can still draw fictional people naked
Yyyyyeah except they’ve already:
- purged the ‘chronic pain’ tag
- purged the ‘top surgery’ tag
- made ‘trans’ tag inaccessible to non-functional
- deleted a bunch of chronic illness blogs
- deleted a bunch of chronic pain and chronic illness posts from blogs they’ve left (like mine)
This isn’t just about ‘oh no you can’t look at people fucking anymore’ (even though lots of sex workers are losing their means of supporting themselves). This goes a lot further, with a lot more chilling effects.
The sexualizing of things like ‘top surgery’ or declaring all ‘trans’ tagged things to be … sexual… is really, REALLY fucked up. Never mind the fact that ‘chronic pain’ had NOTHING to do with sexiness, and we’ve been given no explanation as to why disabled people were considered acceptable collateral damage.
ALSO I had a post flagged earlier today for a cartoon picture of Mario in a bathing suit. Mario, from Super Mario Brothers.
Someone else reported a picture of a cartoon scorpion with a hard hat on being flagged as pornography. Tagging things as ‘queer’ or ‘gay’ gets them flagged NSFW. (Hey, guess what I’d been tagging my t-shirts, because they’re pride stuff? Oh right. Queer. Gay. Pride.)
This is a fucking problem, let’s not blow it off.
I know some people are too young (or simply weren’t involved in fandom back then) to remember what went down with livejournal and a couple of other sites “back in the day”, but it all started out as “it’s okay, we’re just removing the nasty porn”, and then “okay well, just make sure you put your porn behind a cut, no, wait jk you need to host it externally, a link is fine, maybe” and pretty much devolved swiftly into “actually sweety, LGBT content is inherently NSFW by default because it might make the kiddies gay if we expose them to it, so y’all need to leave now byyyeeee”.
Like…that happened. And it took nearly a decade for the fandom spaces to recover and stabilize and to get to the point where LGBT content creators could host their content without being told “you’re not welcome here” and I’m just sitting here, watching as youtube demonetizes LGBT content creators, and Facebook flags up LGBT ads as “inappropriate” and now tumblr is going through the queer and gay tags and just mass blanketing it as inappropriate, while actual pornbots and nazis wind up in my recommended feed.
(As an interesting aside: isn’t it funny how all these sites attribute these things to an algorithm error? Itsn’t that funny.)
Like I am uncomfortable y’all. I am looking around at everything I’ve built and all the friends I’ve made and I know we’re all looking for the next safe space to jump to while hoping we don’t lose each other overnight like “the olden days” where you’d wake up and your fave blogger was just gone.
And usually it was because they’d drawn or written something as simple yet explicit as a kiss. It was just the wrong kind of kiss.
So yea, the sky is not falling, but the ice under our feet sure is making worrying sounds.
Anonymous asked:
Never thought I'd die fighting side by side with a bunch of sexual deviants.
What about side by side with a bunch of people who hate Tumblr?
I mean, technically if you flag 30% of all posts, you are bound to hit some ACTUALLY NSFW posts too, right?
I love how their post says “A better, more positive Tumblr” as if female nipples are what’s ruining the experience on this website and not bullies, racists, homophobes and actual nazis

the real alternative to tumblr is just
Coming soon: Money from your Tumblr
On Thursday, we’re going to introduce ads on Tumblrs, so that later this year people can start making money from their blogs.
Tumblr is a place where brilliant, creative, funny, impossible people shape culture. Some of you have even turned your passions into jobs: book deals, music careers, paid gigs with the Creatrs program. Now, (soon!) that opportunity will be available to any eligible Tumblr—poet, musician, fan artist, and misfit weirdo memelord alike.
Some things you’re probably wondering:
Do you have to? Good question. No, you can turn off on-blog advertising in settings if you’re not comfortable with it.
When? Who? How? How much? Also good questions! We’re still working out the details of the partner program but as soon as we have details to share, we’ll make announcements right here on trusty Staff. Just so you know: You won’t be able to make money until you register for the program—which is coming soon.
Okay, cool. Ta ta for now!
Hey, sign this petition to get tumblr staff to rethink and hopefully repeal the NSFW ban scheduled for December 17th.
Done. Sign it.
It’s frustrating that artists aren’t going to be able to post perfectly legal adult content instead of actually getting better filter systems and letting people chose what they want to see.
I want to hope that they’ll respond to the backlash between now and the 17th. I’m not going to stick around here if it goes through exactly how it’s slated to be. I won’t be deleting, but I’ll just stop posting.
Maybe this will inspire someone to make a proper alternative!
hahahahaha ahhhhh
well! If you like anything here, go download it now
