I treated myself to another streamily autograph, this time from the wonderful Gary Schwartz! :D I literally bought this yesterday and recieved it by noon today dude's turnaround time is bonkers! <3 I like that he says he likes Heavy's attitude. Wasn't an answer I expected, and I really adore that. :D
in your 20s you must rediscover the joys of arts and crafts to stave off spiritual decay
i think everyone is entitled to complain about UI changes, but if you weren’t here when the reblog button was at the top of the post we can’t be in conversation
“oh it’s so different and awful and functions like an actual social media site now” correct. your pain is nothing compared to those who had to overwrite the muscle memory of scrolling back up to the top of the post to reblog
actually @staff you have the opportunity to be the funniest motherfuckers on the planet if your next UI change is to put the reblog button back on the top of the posts
post cancelled because google informs me this was over a decade ago and i am not okay
tumblr developers cranking it into overdrive to make sure one of the few unique and usable social media sites remaining becomes a half-formed failed homunculus clone of tiktok like every other fucking website
fuckin uhhh orp orp orp or whatever this guy says
Does anyone remember what happened to Radio Shack?
They started out selling niche electronics supplies. Capacitors and transformers and shit. This was never the most popular thing, but they had an audience, one that they had a real lock on. No one else was doing that, so all the electronics geeks had to go to them, back in the days before online ordering. They branched out into other electronics too, but kept doing the electronic components.
Eventually they realize that they are making more money selling cell phones and remote control cars than they were with those electronic components. After all, everyone needs a cellphone and some electronic toys, but how many people need a multimeter and some resistors?
So they pivoted, and started only selling that stuff. All cellphones, all remote control cars, stop wasting store space on this niche shit.
And then Walmart and Target and Circuit City and Best Buy ate their lunch. Those companies were already running big stores that sold cellphones and remote control cars, and they had more leverage to get lower prices and selling more stuff meant they had more reasons to go in there, and they couldn't compete. Without the niche electronics stuff that had been their core brand, there was no reason to go to their stores. Everything they sold, you could get elsewhere, and almost always for cheaper, and probably you could buy 5 other things you needed while you were there, stuff Radio Shack didn't sell.
And Radio Shack is gone now. They had a small but loyal customer base that they were never going to lose, but they decided to switch to a bigger but more fickle customer base, one that would go somewhere else for convenience or a bargain. Rather than stick with what they were great at (and only they could do), they switched to something they were only okay at... putting them in a bigger pond with a lot of bigger fish who promptly out-competed them.
If Radio Shack had stayed with their core audience, who knows what would have happened? Maybe they wouldn't have made a billion dollars, but maybe they would still be around, still serving that community, still getting by. They may have had a small audience, but they had basically no competition for that audience. But yeah, we only know for sure what would happen if they decided to attempt to go more mainstream: They fail and die. We know for sure because that's what they did.
I don't know why I keep thinking about the story of what happened to Radio Shack. It just keeps feeling relevant for some reason.

HAPPY ONE MILLION NOTES OUT OF TOUCH THURSDAY

Something that bums me out a lot is even with all the body positivity about anyone being allowed to have body hair, and lots of artists drawing the mercs hairier and such (which I love), there's still no love for hairy shoulders and backs and butts. Fuzzy shoulders are THE BEST y'all.
I need more dudes lookin' like shirtless Eddie Valiant out here pls I am dying of thirst

And Keanu says something really interesting to me on the first John Wick. He comes to me and he goes, “Look, just so you know, little bit of advice, when you edit, once a week, you should see the edit on the big screen.” And I’m like, OK, we’ll try. Later, alone with him, I’m going, “Well, why?” He’s like, “I’m a big-screen actor.” And I had no fucking idea what that meant. I thought it meant a movie star. And he’s like, “No, no, no, no.”
And he started talking to me about non-verbal acting, like gestures, motions. And he’s like, “Look, when you see me on a little monitor and I give this little look, it’s one thing. But when you see it on a 40-foot screen, that look’s going to say a lot. That’s what I want to play this guy as. So just please be aware of it, so when we punch in on the closeups, it’s going to mean something.” And it kind of really clicked for me right there.
I’ve always been fascinated by non-verbal gesture, body language. Keanu would go through and strip his dialogue down. It was like, “No, no, nope. I’m just going to cuddle the puppy.” In the first John Wick, he doesn’t talk for 32 minutes. Try to sell that one to a studio: You have Keanu Reeves and you’re not going to let him talk.

I got a marketing email from hobbycraft to say that they're now selling plush pumpkins ahead of halloween
so of course I went to the website, which led me to this delightful photo series showing the different sizes available:
I love and support this man and his pumpkin collection
remember that out there, there's a guy with a tattoo of engineer giving soldier a kiss
we should all follow this brave trooper's steps and get men kissing on our biceps o7
alright kids gather round, it's headcanon time
HEAVYMEDIC CUDDLES EDITION
- medic's love languages are physical touch and and words of affirmation, he absolutely loves getting praised by heavy and values his judgment A LOT
- while heavy's love languages are physical touch and quality time
- medic is very touchy feely and doesn't miss a chance to give his big boyfriend all the affection he deserves
- I think heavy would be a bit more shy seeing as he's spent most of his life isolated in the mountains and is not as experienced with relationships, he is a little embarrassed about pda but still really loves getting all of medic's attention
- medic loves to just grab heavy's big head and smother him in kisses
- heavy absolutely adores when medic lays on him while he's reading, also petting medic's hair is his favorite sport
- heavy is medic's chair™
- heavy is best hugger
