Last timeloop I gave you my heart....

but the very next day... I gave you my heart....

This year... Is the same year... I'm stuck in an endless timeloop

Official Time Loop Post

biggest reason i make so many flop posts on here is because everything i do reeks of the desperation to make a popular tumblr post. this is deliberate, because it is what protects me from ACTUALLY making a popular tumblr post. so long as i crave it, tumblr fame will never find me. it is only when i turn away, and accept my fate of obscurity, that people will lay their eyes upon me. and it WILL be because i tripped and fell on my stupid face while i was turning

time for people to do the funniest thing ever

Do not.

my dumb? founded. my flabbers? gasted. my gob??? smacked

my ass???? tonished

just remembered shows used to have 20-25 eps per season

WHY IS THERE A GIF FOR THIS

we could go back to telegraphs instead of social media. send your mutuals unspeakable strings of morse code at 4:30am

personally i prefer semaphore

so prefacing this with the fact that I know that the fun is sorta taken out of this by me translating, but not everyone will have the energy to look it up themselves, so I figured I'd help out.

Morse code: AEEEEE FELL DOWN AND TROKE MY PENIT TODAY YEOWCE OUCH YOUCH!!!! SENT FROM MY TELEGRAPH

Semaphore: NO NOT YOUR PENITS

yeah okay ill reblog that

Had a dream last night that i was a knight and this bigger scarier knight had me on the ground and right before he swung his sword at my neck he said smth like "i mourn the loss of life for the tree who will become your coffin" which shouldnt have turned me on like it did but alas

@theshitpostcalligrapher I think I found one for you.

sweeeeeeet

In the spirit of encouraging people to comment on fanfics while also making it easier to do so, I feel obliged to share a browser extension for ao3 that has quite literally revolutionized the comment game for me.

I present to you: the floating ao3 comment box!

From what I've seen, a big problem for many people is that once you reach the comments at the bottom of a fic, your memory of it miraculously disappears. Anything you wanted to say is stuck ten paragraphs ago, and you barely remember what you thought while reading. This fixes that!

I'll give a little explanation on the features and how it works, but if you want to skip all that, here's the link.

Edit: Yes, this also works on mobile!

The extension is visible as a small blue box in the upper left corner.

(Side note: The green colouring is not from the extension, that's me.)

If you click on it, you open a comment box window at the bottom of your screen but not at the bottom of the fic. I opened my own fic for demonstrative purposes.

The website also gives explanations on how exactly it functions, but I'll summarize regardless.

The best part? You can simply close the window the same way you opened it and your progress will automatically be saved. So you can open it, comment on a paragraph, and then close it and keep reading without having the box in your face.

Comments are what keep writers going, and as both a writer and a reader, I think it's such an easy way of showing support and enthusiasm.

I finally watched The Sound of Music and like I get it now, I get it. 

It’s a beautiful two hour love story of a strict man finally opening his heart again and then a fifty minute public service announcement to hate the nazis. Brilliant.

You’re not wrong there…

Reblogging this version cuz those two gifs show the sexiest duality a man can have.

2 things a man should do

there's an extremely niche plot in romance fiction wherein our invariably heterosexual leads fall in love after a night of passion leads to an unplanned pregnancy and they're now bound together by an impending child. I cast no judgment on anyone who enjoys this, but since I'm an evil gay and this is my personal nightmare scenario I want to see a zany romance novel premised on the opposite resolution: a couple falls in love while on a whirlwind roadtrip to obtain a legal abortion

"oh but along the way they realize they actually do want to raise the child together and ultimately keep the baby" no actually they successfully get the abortion and then they get chili dogs or something

neither of them want kids and it's not because they're immature or selfish or afraid of commitment or irresponsible or whatever, they just don't want to be parents and that's not a flaw they overcome. obviously they have other issues because there has to be some kind of arc to this story but deciding to keep a pregnancy that was unplanned and unwanted isn't the solution.

some of you are very determined for this to not be a romance, to which I politely say shut the fuck up and get out of my sandbox. these idiots are going on an abortion roadtrip and they are falling in love on the way so help me god.

I genuinely am floored by how hard of a time people are having with the very simple premise "two characters go on a roadtrip to get an abortion and fall in love with each other"

each other. each other each other each other. a person who is pregnant and the person who got them pregnant fall in love with each other on the way to terminate the pregnancy.

Can’t properly explain it, but “I like this character”, “I like how this character is written” and “I care about this character” are 3 very different things which may or may not overlap.

I keep wanting a time loop story that takes serious the idea that random chance exists and you can't become literally perfect at a thing merely through repetition.

Pete Weber is one of the greatest bowlers of all time. He rolled 85 300 games in PBA competition, over maybe 5400 PBA games. The math is a little unclear here, but it's good enough for me: about 1/60. That's a man who spent thousands of hours practicing, who had the mechanics and metal game down, etc.

So if you're in a time loop, and you have decades to practice bowling, I think you could get really fucking good at bowling. What you couldn't do is consistently bowl a 300 game.

And I would love to see a time loop story where someone says "alright, I can do this trick about half the time, and this trick that follows it about a tenth of the time, and I really need to get more consistent at both of them, or find a better strategy, because this is only a one in twenty chance to even be able to attempt the third trick in that sequence".

This is not what people come to time loops for, but that's why I like it.

Normalize leaving unhinged comments on ao3 fics you like. I'm tired of being the only one brave enough to write "I am chewing on this fic" in the comment section. Be weird. Authors will love you for it

THIS.

tell them you’re writing your comment at 3am, that a certain scene or person or line of dialogue made you feral. Leave a string of nonsense and emojis and tell them where they left you on the floor and how.

Orgasm denial. Orgasm anger. Orgasm bargaining. Orgasm depression and orgasm acceptance.

I think as a culture we have all forgotten that fandom is supposed to be fun.

It’s not that serious.

It was never supposed to be that serious.

Especially since most of the drama and hurt revolves around shipping.

All of the ships are fictional. Being canon doesn’t actually negate the fact that the ship isn’t real. 

No ship, or any aspect of a fictional universe, is important enough to treat another real life human being badly. 

It’s not that serious.

“No ship, or any aspect of a fictional universe, is important enough to treat another real life human being badly.” I’ve had the misfortune of encountering some people who really, really, really need this drilling into their skulls.
