'yeah just don't make it obvious'

ID: a comparison betwen the mobile twitter and new tumblr menu layouts. They look almost exactly the same with the twitter/tumblr logo at the top followed by: home, explore, notifications/activity, and messages. After that the exact menu options are different but still similar. End ID

I STEPPED OUTSIDE OF THE FRONT DOOR OF MY OWN HOME ONLY TO FIND THE DEER THAT TRIED TO KICK MY ASS LAST YEAR STANDING RIGHT THERE IN MY FRONT YARD. BOLD AS BRASS.

AM I NOT SAFE ANYWHERE ANYMORE

for those of you who were not here last year: this deer is the most obnoxious, unnatural red-orange color I’ve ever seen, only appears when it’s raining, and once chased me a quarter mile through the woods. her name is Hot Cheeto Hatred and she is my nemesis

dude, i think that’s a fairy

in italy, lesbian parents are being removed from their child’s birth certificate in favor of the ‘biological parent’, regardless if that person ever had a role in raising the child. welsh has been doing this as well. it feels like we’re going back decades.

link to the news article, for anyone curious.

I HAVENT BEEN UPLOADING ANY MEDIA. WHAT ARE YOU PROCESSING?? IM JUST FAST REBLIGGING EVERYTHING!! THERE IS NO MEDIA TO PROCESS. STOP THAT. STOP IT NOW!

When it's a REALLY rough first draft:

Had to share this here because you're right and you should say it. It's incredible how many people came out of the woodwork as soon as AO3 was down and suddenly had no compunctions at all about screaming how much they love and need fanfic--on the AO3 twitter. Is it so much harder to do in the comment section?

At this point I don't care anymore if people call me entitled or think I'm out of line. If fanfic is so meaningful to you that you cannot go half an hour without, let alone 24h, then you can get over yourself long enough to write a fucking comment. No excuses.

"writing comments is hard and scary" yeah well GUESS WHAT so is writing fanfics. fandom as a community is dying, because it is instead treated as a COMMODITY, a CONSUMER PRODUCT. We're not asking for much. We're asking for a CONNECTION. We don't want to sell, we want to share.

You've shown your hand. You've admitted you cannot live without us. Now ACT LIKE IT. Go write a fucking comment.

I was absolutely at a loss without AO3. I have been trying to comment more anyway because it's such an easy way for me to say thanks to the people who put their stuff out there, for free, daily. I read for at least 2 hours a day, probably even more at weekends or when I'm gripped by a new enthralling fic. The bare minimum I can do is take 2 minutes to comment. After that first kudos I try to respond to a new chapter with a comment so the writer knows that someone is paying attention, that there is an ongoing interest in their efforts. Fandom needs community. Community needs communication. Say thanks. Say it made you laugh or smile, or it distracted you from grim reality for a while.

Just don't do negative or selfish comments.

Worried about leaving a "bad" comment?

There are only two ways to leave a comment that will make the recipient of said comment ☹️😒😟 instead of 🥰🫠😁.

🚫 Don't do these things: 🚫

1. Criticize when critique has not been requested. Remember that the people who write fanfiction, record podfics, and draw fanart are people. How would you feel if you spent a lot of time and energy creating a free entertainment experience for others to enjoy, and someone came in and just told you how it sucked?

2. Place an order. This ain't Burger King. I am not a robot. I am not a trained seal. I worked hard on this story (which, once again, I have provided for your enjoyment at no cost to you). Do not come here and say, "Thank you, next." There is a big, big difference between a comment that says, "I loved x, y, and z about this story, and I would love to read more!" and one that says nothing but, "I want a sequel :(," "why haven't you updated?" or—my personal favorite—one that is nothing but an order for a completely different story unrelated to the one you have just read.

Just don't do those two things, and you can't go wrong.

"We don't want to sell, we want to share."

Come share with us.

Anyone else ever notice how like, fatohobes and transphobes and like, every other weird puritanical rightwing-adjacent asshole talks about bodies like they're gonna get trade-in value for the damn thing in the afterlife?

Like, as if the body is a "starter home" that they're gonna flip when they die or some shit?

Your body should show no signs of having lived. No scars, no tattoos, no stretch marks, no wrinkles, no piercings. If you MUST alter it then you can ONLY make changes that increase curb appeal and adhere to current market trends.

Just like your home should be white walls and shiplap and open modernist floorplans with no sign of personality because omg, what if that lowers the resale value!?

Sorry but the body isn't an investment. St. Peter is not going to give you a coupon or some shit if you die and your body is Like New still.
