i love how whenever something gets popular the underground tormented avant garde bloggers start becoming self conscious of liking it/finding it funny, and it eventually evolves into aggression towards it. doesnt matter what it is. unrelated but i saw someone call isopods cringe today
you could just be making this shit up for all you know and also theyre living rent free in your brain without knowing you exist and you revel in it. L
ok but. who likes something JUST BECAUSE other people like it?? genuinely find me one example of that happening in real life. just say you want to feel smugly superior to others and go lmao

Dorothy: What are we learning about today, Ms. Frizzle?
Ms. Frizzle: We’re learning about gender and orientation, as well as transgender issues!
Arnold: Why does your dress say “down with cis?”
Ms. Frizzle: Why don’t we get on the bus and find out!

baumgartner restoration: *removes an old painting's replacement canvas*
me: just a completely normal part of the conservation process. nothing to see here.
baumgartner restoration: *discovers the title of the painting that was thought to have been untitled for nearly a century*
me:
Which video is this? Can someone link it pls?
While I don't remember which specific video it was (because it's in a several-part series) it's definitely the Conservation of Guy Wiggins, the first episode of which you can watch here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-M49_lVAHpw
I recommend watching the entire series- it's pretty fascinating.

Some of you don't have firm principles that transcend ideology, and it shows.
"Spreading blatant misinformation is okay when it supports a cause I care about, and if anybody corrects me, it means they do not share my values." 🤡
"Police brutality is okay if it's being carried out by a government ascribing to my preferred political philosophy." 🤡
"If this person has harmful views, then my criticism of them can't be [racist/sexist/homophobic/transphobic/antisemitic/Islamophobic/classist/ableist/etc]." 🤡
Like, please, I'm begging you guys to invest in some basic standards.

The internet has made some yall too comfortable being pervs. Like publicly. Without shame. You should have shame about that, actually.

So it's pretty well known that Ingo is one of the very few NPC's that doesn't acknowledge your presence, but apparently he will react to your Pokémon's presence, lol

idk about yall but if tumblr gets shut down (which is a very reasonable concern to have) we literally don't have an alternative
cleansingreflections-deactivate
still thinking about this. ok imagine tumblr is just too unprofitable and it's shut down like tomorrow. where are you going? twitter? you're gonna look me in the eye and tell me you're going to fucking twitter? instagram? reddit? tiktok? FACEBOOK? do you wanna resuscitate vine? like genuinely, truly, please answer the question of where you would redirect your followers and mutuals in case tumblr was shut down tomorrow, because i don't think many people understand that genuinely and honestly there is no other social media platform that has the same level of customization, tagging system, overall user-friendliness as tumblr, it's not perfect and i'm not saying that, but dude it is absolutely not better out there

The eradication of adobe flash dress-up games directly led to the creation of NFT's.
Sure. I’ll incorporate that into my world view

a vampire and a werewolf but the werewolf is the rich classy kinda snobby one (large family, heightened senses = refined tastes, cutthroat instincts make them an excellent businessperson) and the vampire is the feral reclusive weirdo who prefers the woods (sleeps in dirt, generally looks like a corpse, bloodlust all the time instead of just once a month, smely)
I uh…..I just happened ?

Hey btw, if you're doing worldbuilding on something, and you're scared of writing ~unrealistic~ things into it out of fear that it'll sound lazy and ripped-out-of-your-ass, but you also don't want to do all the back-breaking research on coming up with depressingly boring, but practical and ~realistic~ solutions, have a rule:
Just give the thing two layers of explanation. One to explain the specific problem, and another one explaining the explanation. Have an example:
Plot hole 1: If the vampires can't stand daylight, why couldn't they just move around underground?
Solution 1: They can't go underground, the sewer system of the city is full of giant alligators who would eat them.
Well, that's a very quick and simple explanation, which sure opens up additional questions.
Plot hole 2: How and why the fuck are there alligators in the sewers? How do they survive, what do they eat down there when there's no vampires?
Solution 2: The nuns of the Underground Monastery feed and take care of them as a part of their sacred duties.
It takes exactly two layers to create an illusion that every question has an answer - that it's just turtles all the way down. And if you're lucky, you might even find that the second question's answer loops right back into the first one, filling up the plot hole entirely:
Plot hole 3: Who the fuck are the sewer nuns and what's their point and purpose?
Solution 3: The sewer nuns live underground in order to feed the alligators, in order to make sure that the vampires don't try to move around via the sewer system.
When you're just making things up, you don't need to have an answer for everything - just two layers is enough to create the illusion of infinite depth. Answer the question that looms behind the answer of the first question, and a normal reader won't bother to dig around for a 3rd question.
ok but op now im invested in reading about gator-fearing vampires and the nuns who go into the sewers to feed said gators
