hey tumblr dot com

also it is with a heavy heart that i must inform you that tumblr isnt inherently better than twitter and having the ability to use More Words has not done anything in the past to give people on this hellsite any reading comprehension. we’re just lucky 😔

whats the point of having a glass house if youre not throwing stones

you know what nevermind that’s valid

entirely unrelated to the post, but what the fuck is going on in the replies

Fuck up up, fuck down down, fuck left right left right, fuck B, fuck A, fuck select, fuck start.

cha cha real smooth

Imagine getting to the end of this post and agreeing with OP that Tumblr isn’t inherently better than Twitter smh

my brothers share special interests and my favorite thing to do is walk in a room and be like "hey guys can you tell me about the mariana trench" and then sit there for an hour while they both infodump to me about the ocean it's extremely entertaining

and my parents are always like "oh my god why would you do that" bitch. I want to learn about the ocean and these two thirteen year old boys r my most trusted source

I mean, I could google questions I have about medieval weaponry and horsemanship, but on the other hand I could message my sister the simple statement “have question about historical saddles” and get both a phone call and a comprehensive 3 page google document within an hour

Seriously, if you know someone who has a special interest you’d like info about, go ask them! It costs zero money, you make them happy, and you learn way more than a basic google search would tell you.

Really intrigued by this new gameplay feature

i’ve been thinking a lot about what’s happened in the mcyt community as of late – more specifically, in terms of ccs being more vocal about the anxiety they feel when it comes to twitter. and as someone who has been in online fandom spaces almost my whole life, i can say with certainty that mcyttwt has some defining characteristics that have made it the community that it is…. which is not necessarily the *healthiest* place for both fans and creators.

the main, overarching problem - and i’m sure you know what i’m about to say - is the open line of direct communication with ccs. i’m tired of hearing the term “parasocial” thrown around as much as the rest of you, but ultimately that’s what mcyttwt is. a handful of creators with millions of followers who are invested in them to near-unhealthy extents. i’m by no means saying that simply being a fan incurs a parasocial relationship (i literally run a dsmp fandom blog myself, lol) but twitter has the blessing/curse of being a platform where topics can trend at the snap of a finger, the character length limit means detail is sacrificed for attention-grabbing tweets, and content creators cannot avoid seeing the thousands of vitriolic messages sent their way when they make any sort of slip up….and the fans know this.

which leads me to my next point - entitlement. mcyttwt fans have an absurd level of entitlement that has come about as the result of this perceived “closer” relationship with ccs. because in this age of the pandemic where social media has become young people’s entire lifelines and identities, the introduction of activism into fandom space has skyrocketed in popularity. and while i can appreciate/admire the passion that my generation has for wanting to bring about social change, a lot of the so-called “educating” that these fans are attempting to impose onto cc’s is nothing more than an unrealistic expectation that ccs should spend all hours of their day retweeting carrds and gofundme links. i’m sorry if i sound harsh, but that is not their obligation. and it is so incomprehensible to me that fans on twitter are legitimately upset that their favourite cc isn’t making a statement on their specific minority group. i do not need ranboo to tell me that i am valid as a south asian woman. i do not need dream to retweet a thread about biphobia. i do not need georgenotfound to talk about islamophobia in the mcyt community. because frankly speaking, that isn’t their place. and yes, i understand the intent of spreading awareness, but these threads are made for people in the community, and gain huge amounts of traction on their own without a cc notice regardless.

fundamentally, expecting young ccs to be near-perfect activists who talk about complex social issues with eloquence and nuanced understanding is infeasible, unproductive, and serves to accomplish nothing. i watch minecraft streamers because i enjoy their personalities. i do not watch them because i expect to learn about the impact of colonialism on marginalised communities in asia, because that is an issue i am personally interested in and will learn about from qualified individuals – not tommyinnit, whose career revolves around making things 1000x funnier.

at the end of the day, you should not want/expect to receive validation from internet creators who play minecraft for a living. ccs drawing attention to large-scale social issues and using their platform to directly support organisations is phenomenal, and i’m so happy that those i look up to have been so vocal about pride month. i also won’t hesitate to say there have been more than a few occasions where ccs have made mistakes that are definitely worthy of criticism. fandom spaces also remain predominantly white, which absolutely has negative ripple effects in the community. but these macro issues are lumped in with micro ones, and fans have become unable to differentiate between an actively harmful comment made in bad faith, and an opinion that doesn’t align with thier own.

it’s funny, because i actually speak from personal experience on this.  i was once in similar shoes to these kinds of fans, and part of me definitely cringes looking back. i know that most of them only have good intentions. but the bubble of stan twitter has reduced everything to black-and-white, where either you’re with a minority group or against them, and that is so exhausting to see. i truly hope that mcyttwt is able to self-reflect a little better in light of ranboo’s statement especially, and realise that this mindset they possess is making their fandom experience far more negative than it needs to be.

Take the time to watch this, it’s MAGIC

this was so wild

Someone explain

The first sentence says 32 and 13 implying that the speaker is 32 years old and their girlfriend is 13 years old, which is both highly inappropriate and illegal. The next sentence reveals the speaker was talking about their game levels, not their ages, which is perfectly okay.

In their reply to the audience they then say they are picking her up from middle school, again implying that their girlfriend is underage, but quickly state she’s grading papers letting us know she’s a teacher, definitely an adult, and there no reason to be upset.

The rollercoaster gif portrays how switching from upset and worried to relieved in such a short period of time feels emotionally.

The next meme shows the guy panicking from misunderstanding, then feeling relieved and calm realizing the truth, only to panic over the next misunderstanding and then calm again when hearing the end.

YEAH I HAVE SEEN PONYO

i’ve been having terrible back ache for a week now, but i just did this and i heard a loud POP!!!… back ache is gone folks

i have this on my office wall and gave a copy to the front desk staff who also put it on their wall.

“May I please have your undivided attention” no I have ADHD you may have a ¼ piece at best

#bitch my attention is always divided #if you want a larger piece of attention than that you’ll have to fight for it with the closest available audible whirring ventilation fan

If I do NOT divide my attention in a way that my brain accepts as legal, you will get NONE of my attention because said brain will be too busy devoting ALL of my attention to how much it is making my bones vibrate inside my flesh to try to give you my undivided attention.
