just gettin bi

@thepringlesofblood / thepringlesofblood.tumblr.com

Grae, they/them, nonbinary, bi, ace-spectrum, neurodivergent in so many fun ways, just here to spew my garbage into the void, i reblog a lot of fanart bc i want to elevate talented artists, also bc good omens sunk its claws into me a long time ago and has not let go. the adventure zone, atla, wwdits, ofmd, dimension 20, and the murderbot diaries also live here. this is a mostly untagged clusterfuck, the only thing i consistently tag is fanart, and sometimes snakes, because I like them. 

Chewbacca is buck wild as a character concept but so ingrained in the cultural canon that the full absurdity of him is often overlooked. Here’s a middle-aged 200 year old space fellow who’s eight feet tall with a full body perm, naked except for a bandolier he never uses, knows the local lingua franca but exclusively communicates by screaming and growling in his own language, has adopted Harrison Ford as a pet, will rip your arms out of their sockets if you beat him at chess. Go into any dog park and you’ll bump into at least one mutt bearing his name. Roger Ebert despised him. In 1997 MTV gave him a Lifetime Achievement award.

I GOT FROGGED???

Anyway guys don’t let this equivalent of a bunch of car keys dangling in front of a baby to distract you from the fact that Tumblr’s latest update removed the short cut to access people’s reblogs and original posts. Remember to file your complaints through Tumblr’s support ticket system.

Oh for fucks sake

EDIT: It seems Staff just decided to change more shit that’s worked a certain way for about a decade just because…. I dunno…. they’re not stimulated by the 9000 spam bot reports we send daily?

the “old” way is that you clicked on the reblogger’s username and it would take you to the original reblog. this now just takes you to their blog:

the “new” way is that you click on the empty space above the post:

I think @staff grossly underestimated just how many tumblr users routinely use this feature to get rid of dumbass comments at the bottom of bad reblog chain (while preserving the good part of the reblog chain). I spent 5 frustrated minutes clicking random shit before finally working out what I needed to press.

additionally, if you want to copy a permalink to someone’s actual blog (and not the bullshit view-in-dash version of links they’ve been pushing recently), you have to click on the top right meatball menu and then click on the timestamp (because that’s so intuitive) and it will take you to the blogname.tumblr.com/post/ version (provided the blog has enabled custom theme

okay lou saying deli’s kept the cheese knife and thought about self-mutilation as a result of colin walking out on him, zac saying “well,,,, i’ll try to forget that” really hammering home to me that for deli this is that first toxic unhealthy slightly too close friendship that breaks your heart and years later you’re like ohhhhh they were my first love actually, and to colin this has been like a work friend who became a best friend and then you realised that you have fundamentally opposed politics

hey guys so apparently this is a thing a lot of people don't realise but like. if you have had writer's block/ art block for like. six months. a year. two years. that's maybe not a block. that's maybe depression. and you should maybe look into treating the source of the problem instead of just beating yourself up for not being able to write/draw. be kind to yourself and know that your struggle to create isn't based in laziness or a lack of skill or talent.

sometimes I randomly remember that Mr Ratburn from Arthur is gay married to a chocolatier and a sense of calmness and prosperity washes over me like a wave 

someone just reblogged this old post out of nowhere, causing a sense of calmness and prosperity to wash over me like a wave 

Happy pride month to that rat

idk when we decided that explaining yourself shouldn't be part of an apology but like. if someone was a dick to me and apologizes but I still don't understand why they did it I'm not gonna feel any better

"Sorry for hurting your feelings earlier. I was trying to say x, but I guess it came across wrong. I don't think you're stupid."

or

"Sorry I snapped at you. I didn't get enough sleep last night so my patience is a little low today."

is a better apology than

"I want you to know that I am sorry that my actions offended you. I take full accountability for my actions and I am listening and learning. I hear you."
