ii've 0nly watched atsv & niim0na as f0r m0viies fr0m thiis year fr0m what ii remember s0 iidk h0w ii'd rank thiiss-

you know a joke that never EVER gets old is when a character says smth like “I will NOT go to [place] and that is FINAL” and then it cuts to them in that place I eat that shit up every single time

Equally good variant: when the character says smth like “what’s the worse that could happen?” and it cuts to a scene where it’s so much worse than what they imagined

So I think the best strat here is for the users who did get the new layout to just stop using the desktop version of the site for a while, like a week or a month or however long their 'experiment' is supposed to last, while the users who didn't get the new layout should keep using the desktop version like normal or, perhaps, use it even more than usual.

My guess is that they're doing basic A/B testing on the new layout to see if it would boost engagement: the userbase is split roughly 50/50 between the 2 versions and they are going to be comparing the engagement data between the 2 groups of users to see if it's worth it switching everyone to the new layout or not.

Basically, if you got the new layout and don't like it - don't use it. If engagement metrics of group B (new layout) are lower than those of group A (no change), the experiment will be considered a failure and they will have to reverse the change.

If your tumblr suddenly looks like twitter - it's a sign to log off and go touch some grass! (or just use the mobile app since that engagement data isn't relevant to this particular experiment)

Where am I

Sobbing, crying, shitting, etc

Ok I'm sorry for shoving this in your face again but like. He didn't just say that trans men and women are real. He didn't say there were three genders. He didn't do that, he said there was a spectrum. He insisted it was a spectrum, and he's fucking right.

Did he do actual damn research??? I would assume that this isn't basic common knowledge to a guy like him. He legit took the time to research this, and is still a huge piece of shit afterwards. What the fuck. What the FUCK.

IS HE GETTING A GODDAMN REDEMPTION ARC

"trans women are women and they belong IN THE KITCHEN"

did you really ask if the man on trial for sex trafficking and rape is getting a redemption arc because he said water is wet

[major A Glitch in Time spoilers!!]

Can we talk about this for a second

This scene is framed so ominously, with the extreme close-up of Phantom's eyes opening and Clockwork's implication of danger, but Vlad himself looks so small and vulnerable. Maybe even awestruck.

He's been driven by nothing but bitter loneliness for decades (and thank you Epstein for my life for canonizing this), and now twice in quick succession he's lost everything he's worked so hard to gain. And it's his own fault. He's the problem. He can't delude himself about that any longer.

And only by recognizing and owning up to his past mistakes is he finally, finally granted one of those precious things his money and influence couldn't buy: a family (maybe even a son?). One he feels a genuine kinship with and is committed to protecting.

He seems genuinely humbled by everything that's happened, and while I doubt it'll be a smooth transition, I believe he's sincere about trying to start fresh. If for no other reason, I hope there are more comics someday just so we can see Vlad's growth (and maybe healing?) over time.

All that said, I hope being a legit dad now to this chronodisplaced doubleghost clone son will force Vlad to reflect on how he treated Danielle. I hope she shows up and kicks his ass while her new brother watches in confusion lmfao

Omg yes!! Like maybe Vlad feels guilty for finally being A Good Parent so he reaches out to her, or Danielle catches wind of this development and she swings by... and she ends up being like "So I was the trial run? You're probably gonna mess him up just like to messed up with me! You don't get to have a relationship with me just because toh want a do-over!" Etc...

Yes yes exactly!! He made it pretty clear to her that she WAS a "trial run" for the "perfect son" that he wanted, though. Tbh it's not Dani's reaction to the situation that I wonder about (bc I think it's a given she'd be a little hurt and a LOT angry) as much as it is Vlad's reaction to being reminded she exists. Knowing him, she hasn't even crossed his mind since "D-Stabilized" despite him literally continuing to work on the clone project afterward lmaO

OH my god can you imagine Dan approaching Danielle like, "Not that I don't blame you for wanting to kick Vlad into next week, but you could still... stay? ... Honestly, sometimes I really miss having a sister..."

"... how does a cousin sound to you?"
