hello! i’m maddy! this is my lil intro post bc i wanted to link all my creations!!
real talk no joke if this site ever closes its gates and shuts down I will literally be so fucking inconsolable it’s not even funny.
I have had it with this likescolding. “Tumblr doesn’t have an algorithm so likes don’t actually do anything” motherfucker I am not clicking that heart to give some post better ~algorithmic visibility~ I am clicking that heart to help my internet friend microdose on serotonin as god fucking intended
The reason people get upset about the like to reblog ratio is because it is killing the site. This site only works if people reblog stuff to keep it circulating. Once upon a time the like to reblog ratio was fairly even, nowadays every post has a ratio of like 4:1 minimum and its depressing because it means posts arent being circulated and tumblr is losing what made it great.
People arent bitching because they want clout, there is no fucking clout on tumblr this isnt twitter or instagram! I wanna see shit on my dash for the things I love and I can only find that shit if the people I follow reblog that shit from other people who I havent discovered yet.
In my current fandom, I still regularly have to go hunting through the character tags just to find stuff to fill up my queue, and most of it is art or gifsets that have around 200 likes but only 10 reblogs. It fucking sucks. I am following so many people who also post about my fandom and yet this stuff remains unnoticed because people are allergic to reblogging things nowadays, because y'all are all so used to the twitter/insta method of likes being the be all and end all to boost some algorithm. How many times do we have to scream there is no tumblr algorithm before y'all understand?!?
Likes have a use, they are a good way to save a post, or to remind you that youve reblogged or queued a post already. I use likes that way. I only ever like stuff to reblog or queue it. My own like to reblog ratio is 1:1 minimum and if I find a post ive previously reblogged (because ive already liked it) sometimes I’ll queue it up again because this site only works if we keep stuff in circulation.
“I wish I could like stuff more than once” thats called a reblog darling if you like a post that much reblog it!!!
So please quit bitching at longer term tumblr users begging newbies to reblog stuff, its necessary if you want the site to function, otherwise y'all will be staring at an empty dash since none of you ever reblogs shit.
i want a scene where DUSTIN is bandaging mike's wounds. hes like teasing him putting a LITTLE bit too much alcohol on a wound and theyre talking ab how it was when mike was with will and how much they needed his plans yadi yadi yadiasi its obvi friends being friends
but then.... WILL enters and is like "ok dustin stop teasing him u gonna make the wounds even worse lemme do it" and dustin lets him and now its just WILL and mike and its so big of a contrast between the last friendly scene and this obviously ROMANTIC one.....
like mikes peeking up at will when hes taking care of him in silence close ups of will holding mike's palm to get that little cut mike going like "gulp😳"
make it TOO obvious that they're NOT friends. i mean they are but theyre also more than that no one can object to the truth anymore after it

if holly had been informed about the rain fight she would’ve stomped all the way to mike’s room and punched him hard on the arm.
“ah! holly, what the heck?”
“you made will cry?!” punches him again
later holly goes to either lucas or dustin so they will deliver to will the drawing holly made for him as a gift. on the bottom of it there’s a note that goes “please forgive my stupid brother. he’s very stupid.”
unfortunately i do find this funny

That's When (demo) // That's When (Taylor's version)
"(...) I changed the perspectives, because in That's When, we originally wrote it as if it was like—it wasn't a duet originally, it was originally about like a girl who, like, the person she loves comes to her and says, 'You know, I need some space away from the relationship,' and she's like, 'Fine, whenever you want to come back, you can.' And I kind of just over time, sort of wanted to change the story into its, you know, me singing about needing space from a relationship even though I love the person, and that person being gracious enough to be like, 'Take your time, whatever you need,' because I hadn't really explored that angle before, of needing your independence and somebody granting it to you and that making you want to come back to them, because you realize they're the type of person who is always going to let you explore and grow, and that means they're the person for you. So, yes, did change a little bit, but absolutely minimal things. You're mostly hearing from a 17-year-old, or 18-year old brain.” (x)
shay's ronance moodboards - pirates of the caribbean au
This was it. The end of all things, Robin was sure of that. Swords swinging and clashing with each other. Muskets firing. Cannons smoking. Pirates (both dead and alive) swooping in on all sides. And, on top of that, the storm they were under bore down on top of all of them, rain pummeling Robin in a way that she could only compare to rocks being thrown. And yet, through the quagmire, she only had one thought on her mind.
Nancy.
Her childhood best friend. The one who was responsible for her rescue from the wreckage of that lonesome pirate ship all those years ago. The one who had stood by her side throughout all the years of naysayers doubting her. The one who saw that Robin was more than where she had come from.
Gentle. Fierce. Smarter than anyone Robin had ever known. And here she was, fighting alongside those who had become her pirate brethren. Robin locked eyes with her as she moved to take on two large opposing pirates by herself and the thought occurred to her. These may be their last moments together. And she loved her. She always had. It was always Nancy.
At that thought, Robin rushed to her side, clashing swords with a pirate who was moments away from taking advantage of the fact that Nancy's back was turned for a brief moment.
There they were, back to back, facing off the enemy as a unit. Together. They moved as one, almost in a dance, fighting off any and all pirates who approached them with the intent to kill. They were an unstoppable force together. And then, there was a brief moment of rest in the enemy's advances. Robin turned to face Nancy.
"Nance, will you marry me?"
At that moment, two swords clanged together in between them.
"I don't think now is the best time!"
One single republican decided to base his vote on a reasonable evaluation of available data and it quite possibly improved thousands of lives. I hope maybe in my lifetime I’ll see an America where that isn’t shocking for a politician to do, and maybe one in which people’s entire well being doesn’t come down to just one extra guy having a shred of decency.
something very charming about “I don’t really know what’s going on here but I don’t think it’s my problem” as a response to the anti-trans hysteria
