Red Hood: *sneezes once in a meeting*

His children goons: Boss? Boss are you sick? Do you have a fever? Do you need a cold compress? Do you need a hospital? Are you dying?! PLEASE DON'T DIE!!!

Red Hood: Nah, been there, done that.

His newest child goon: I’m sorry, what?

His eldest child goon: *looks up and sighs* Okay, come on. I’ll explain it to you.

Twenty minutes later

Newest child goon: Ah, so that’s why we have so many clown piñatas.

Meanwhile

Red Hood: No, for the last time, I don’t need to go to the hospital!

The self-assigned middle child goon: But if we don’t go we don’t get lollipops or stickers!

Red Hood:

Red Hood: I will buy you both of those in bulk if you drop this right now.

Middle child goon: Done.

I'm generally of the opinion that trying to resurrect prematurely cancelled shows is like necromancy—odds are they'll come back wrong.

Except for Galavant. Any Galavant revivial will be funnier the longer it stayed cancelled.

Knew what this was before I clicked and had to watch the whole thing again.

If you haven’t seen it, now’s your chance!

even more orv stuff…… every day i tell myself ill draw x character and every day i always just end up drawing yhk

“could he daily feel a stab of hunger for you and find nourishment at the very sight of you?” is such a romantic line because despite cannibalism sustaining the illusion that hannibal can control everything and determine outcomes and reverse time, loving will has changed him so drastically that instead of consuming will, will consumes him. and hannibal hungers for him, yearns and aches for him, but is content to just exist near him. to stay in his orbit somehow, if only will allows it. hannibal, who needs to cannibalise others to stay in power, finds nourishment just by looking at will. he loves him so profoundly that he could be imprisoned forever and still it would be better than knowing he might never see will again. it sates him more than eating the pigs beneath him. in will, he finds religion

Which of these would you rather see on your dash?

Hey @staff. This is a perfect example of why collapsed reblogs is such a bad idea. Seeing the full thread, you go like this: 😮 ooh, that's cool 😀 "they're free," hehe! 🤣 "16 cents," perfection!!

I have achieved joy, I feel positive feelings toward Tumblr, I want to engage, I want to stay, my eyeballs land on more ads, you make more money, everyone wins! 🎉

Seeing the collapsed thread, you go like this:

😮 ooh, that's cool 😐 "16 cents"? yes, that's literally what the pic shows, not sure why you felt the need to say that

There is no motivation for me to uncollapse the reblog chain—it looks like a boring conversation about the denominations of coins. And even if I do uncollapse it, you've ruined the joke by showing me the punchline before the setup. I am sad, Tumblr is boring, I go elsewhere to entertain myself, I see less ads, you make less money, everyone loses. 😥

Reblog chains are the best thing about Tumblr. They are your unique super power. They are the thing that makes people screenshot Tumblr and share it around. Why on earth would you kneecap them??

I don't know exactly how you plan to implement this. Give people the option to keep them collapsed if there truly are people who are annoyed by how long they can get (you already have a version of this feature), but don't collapse them for everyone or new users by default. Please. It will make Tumblr so much more boring.
