The Gimmick Blog Orgy

Conservation status: Least Concern

Classification: native, potentially invasive

As populations of native Gimmick Blogs increase, conservationists are more frequently able to observe this meme's mating ritual. The Gimmick Blog Orgy occurs when a large number of Gimmick Blogs converge on a single post, each bringing its own often very long list of viewers who then attract other Gimmick Blogs to the post. The blogs perform their mating displays as we see above.

The grandiose sight of a Gimmick Blog Orgy does potentially have a sinister underside, however. Conservationists are concerned about the risk of the tumblr ecosystem becoming overrun by Gimmick Blogs as their rate of breeding increases. Some have classified the Gimmick Blog Orgy as a noxious meme due to its impact on other posts, but this category is not among those that we apply here at the TACM.

We have classified this native meme as potentially invasive due to its large and destructive impact on the posts where it appears, but it remains to be seen whether the Gimmick Blog Orgy is a true invasive or simply a meme enjoying a healthy explosive-growth phase of its life cycle.

On the one hand yeah, Tim faking a temporary disability to get Vicki Vale off his back as she tries to prove he’s Red Robin is ethically dubious. But like... vision impairments are a disability, which means in continuities where the glasses don’t block out his excessive sensory input and he’s not claiming they’re a fashion statement, Superman is faking a disability every time he goes out as Clark Kent. So if we’re gonna be all “Tim wtf” we should also go “Clark wtf”.

On the much more interesting hand, asplenia is also a disability, which the writers canonically gave Tim. While he totally can be a vigilante with it, he needs to take more precautions than he would otherwise, and it wouldn’t be too hard to convince the general Gotham public that actually no, Tim Drake-Wayne being asplenic means he’s definitely not Red Robin, Vicki, what are you smoking, don’t you know how often the vigilantes get tossed in Gotham Harbor? Do you know what’s in that water?

Which means that now I want an AU in which instead of faking getting shot, Tim just has Wayne Enterprises launch an Asplenia Awareness campaign in conjunction with the Martha Wayne Foundation starting a program to get other asplenic Gothamites their antibiotics, throws a bunch of fundraisers for it, and stares Vicki Vale dead in the eyes while taking his new meds on camera.

Personal headcanon about the "you picked the wrong dellamorte" line, I don't think illario actually likes rook outside the context of them being someone close to lucanis. Like rook on their own isn't much to him, but when they meet it's yet another person talking about his cousin (why isn't he good enough for whatever job they're hiring for?) and on top of that they somehow bring him back from the dead (another whole can of worms for illario). Now he starts turning on the charm, but whether he's actually interested or this is just one more thing his cousin has that he doesn't and it gets under his skin, who knows. Either way, rook ignores illario, the guy who lives off his charm, and is instead interested in the guy who's never even dated before and thinks giving someone a knife is how to flirt. Infuriating

NO THANK YOU !! i am genuinely sorry if i have ever implied illario is into rook like i see some takes about it and unless it like ties into your rook's personal backstory i don't seriously think he's romantically jealous. at all. my enjoyment of that line stems from illario's pathological need to make it about himself and not see his strengths but what lucanis has, and therefore what he doesn't. he's annoyed enough to try and goad you in the middle of a fight about the 'wrong' dellamorte and completely blind to the fact that the venatori are at best, a stupid fucking alliance, and at worst, a cult that will devour the crows from the inside out and illario would have been the one to give them the keys. he sees lucanis make allies, needs his own, and instead of charming the other talons/houses as he should, he (probably spitefully) picks the venatori. or maybe he just thought it would be easier. ugh he makes me want to telekenetically throw him around

cc!leo is so weird and fun to write because i have to capture the spectrum of him impossibly gentle and caring, goofy and nonchalant to make everyone feel better, and INSANELY invested in the prospect of brutally murdering someone all at the same time and writing ch23 really illuminates that for me lmao. like the characters just kind of take me places that i dont expect and apparently the answer to "what happens when you strip leo of all his layers of facade and make him forced to hurt the most important person in his life through horrifying mind control?" in this extremely specific instance was uhhhh. Bloodthirsty! apparently

he's so funny to me like bro can you CHILL

[riggedbones]

bored. does anyone want to ask me questions

Wait so what the fuck happened to all those deadly flies Jerome unleashed in the s1 finale? Did they manage to escape? Did they end up killing anyone? Is there now just a random spot in England that has a nest of non-native murder bugs wreaking havoc on the local ecosystem?

just read the new mutants issue where Charles chose to stay behind in space and my god the juxtaposition between Charles trusting Erik and Erik joining the hellfire club and wondering at his own trust worthiness. I wonder how much of Charles decision was him ultimately trying to avoid the fact that his first class had seemingly betrayed mutant kind and not be willing to face them and how much of it was Dani and Illyana's reaction to him having Karma mind control Illyana. the fact that Illyana was depending on him to ease her mind through limbo and in choosing to stay he forced karma to do it instead, probably fucking up their relationship in the process.

I love him, this is crazy, how much of this is him trying to runaway and how much is this him not trusting himself to fix things and how much is it just him trusting Erik?

i keep trying to put into words my exact thoughts about the sitch but there really is a lot for one issue aintit... oh charles you and your brain...

[heartbeetz]

Writing a little "KᎥtt and Lyan talk about gender" fic sounds very interesting to me for a number of reasons but I feel like it would just end up being "yeah the car is a little bit transphobic at first but only bc he literally doesn't know any better." Which I think kinda isn't what anybody wants to read bc it sucks.

[faunandfloraas]

Nothing funnier to me than a fansite that horrifically white washes pics of the guys until they genuinely look like walking corpses but then will have DO NOT EDIT in all their captions like baby.... if there's anyone here who should have the editing software taken away, it's you...

I have no idea how to do this ask meme but here I go: Sing o’ king, to a past of the divine

no, u pretty much got it 😙👍

hmm now 4 the Title,,, :

Idea #1: In Some Forgotten Reality, The Deities of said Universe are pissed that their being Left to turn to Ash, thrown out to Make Way for The Next Universal Generation, so They devise A Plan to Bring Back Their World from Oblivion by sending A Infiltrator / ‘Complaint’ to One of The Future Reseted Worlds to try and force The Overseeing Creator to give Them Another Opportunity at Existing,,,

That ‘Compliant’ is Odysseus, Created as The Master of Puppeteering & Mind of Shadows, all to Weave His Way into The unsuspecting Gaze of The Olympian Gods… but first, He’d like to enjoy his Childhood Cover before Commencing any Power-Scale Tipping, Thank You Very Much

—“Nagging Assholes” His little mouth mutters as Anticlea smiles down at Her Son resting on her lap, deciding to Pointingly Ignore his words-

Idea #2: a Potential Route of The Lost God A.U, where after Centuries of Trying and Failing, Aphrodite has finally been able to break The Curse held over Dynatos’s Current Incarnation, Odysseus, but Something has gone Terribly Wrong.

Freeing Ody’ of His Current Life’s Set Tragedy has also caused him to remember Every. Single. One of. His Past Lives Memories,,,,,

The God’s Domain might still be Channelled within Him, but Odysseus is still very much Mortal. And Mortals are definitely not supposed to Bear The Weight of Six Centuries worth of Memories.

Hey i hope it's okay if i ask this question.... i've read eventide and am now almost through with disassembly. Are you enjoying comments on your works or not so much? I'd love to tell you how great I think your stories are and how much they touch me, but after seeing that the comment function is turned off on eventide and you stopped replying to comments on disassembly at some point (even though the comments are legitimately so nice and full of praise) I was kind of unsure if you even want to read comments like that anymore or if you're tired of them.

having exhausted all of the free therapy the province is willing to provide me for now, i have to say i'm kind of delighted you asked this... because otherwise i wouldn't have the gall to talk about it:)

basically, it's nice to have an excuse to say: I LOVE GETTING COMMENTS ON MY STORIES!!! i read every single one i get, sometimes multiple times over, crying and thanking the universe that another human being noticed something i did and liked it.

that being said, i really haven't been in a good enough place to answer them for the past year or so, at least not to my satisfaction. i've started and stopped more replies to more messages/asks/comments i can count, only to delete what I've written and bury my head in a pillow halfway through: because i can't possibly answer them all in a timely fashion and i don't want anyone to think I'm favouring them; because what if the comment is too old, and the person who left it has outgrown my story; because what if my conversational tone is off; because what if the comment is entirely sarcastic, or full of slang, and i don't understand the intent well enough to make a good faith response; because what if answering causes me to in some way die; because what if what if what if...

and i wouldn't hold it against myself, except I've fallen victim to the same dysfunctional pattern in my personal & real life communications, too — i just can't answer anyone (yes i see you and you are beautiful), no matter how much I love them or how much they love me or what they're trying to communicate... which is a big big problem that goes a bit beyond not answering comments on my fanfics, admittedly. but the comments thing is surely a symptom of it, and it's just not something i can seem to force myself to overcome right now, at least not adequately.

because things always come back to star wars for me: I feel a little like I'm turning into sequels Luke. Not on purpose exactly; I've far from committed to that path, and still have quite a rich inner life that I hope to be able to project again sometime soon — hopefully in a way that continues to connect me to other people — because I think that's the most rewarding part of sharing online.

keeping this blog and my ao3 and writing when I can and sharing posts is what's keeping me connected right now, and even though it might seem like I'm ignoring people who try to reach out to me, please please understand that I'm not ignoring them/you at all. every time I post I'm kind of saying "I love you", even if that feels cheap or selfish.

i'm just a kind of "not okay" that I don't know how to express, or fix, with words... but Anakin Skywalker is someone I can still connect with in spite of it, and use to connect with others, even if (for now) that has to happen in ways that are trivial or in ways I can't reciprocate.

anyway... to answer your question again, because I understand I did go off on a bit of a tangent there, yes I definitely appreciate and read and absorb the responses people are kind enough to offer me. because I know I'm very lucky to still be getting any attention at all after all this time, and I'm endlessly grateful for the continued opportunity to connect (yes, very much in spite of a lack of any tangible evidence).

there are names I see here and on ao3 that are so important to me and my everyday that i would spiral if they ever went away entirely, and stories and comments i go back to again and again and again... in silence, like dusty old attic books, but again and again nonetheless.

part of the reason i turned the comments off on eventide was because I knew I was coming to a place where I wouldn't be able to honour them... I couldn't bear to do the same with disassembly at the time, partly because it had a smaller audience, and partly because the feedback on something i was (and am) still invested in so heavily still means so much to me.

now I'm not sure what the most responsible thing to do would be, which is very classically "me", but rest assured that I gravitate to the kindness people exude toward my work and that i bask in it and that no one's words are ever, ever wasted on me.

thank you, i love you. ❤️

PHW, PHW, PHW...

Whoa shit! —

This one here continues to behave like an unhinged narcissist, bitching a sweet girl into submission over the T-Shirt Debacle and then continuing to badger her about me with her cudgel of performative feminism.

Of course it's fucking EIE.

And ofc she's a narcissist. Only narcissists crash out whenever someone makes fun of them. The worst types (the malignant and/or histrionic ones) love to use whatever is in their arsenal to deflect attention from their shitty behavior.

She literally made the (best) meme come true, even though I'm the ass who implied she'd show up if people kept talking about Percy and Jenna together in any capacity. She won't confront me directly since she's blocked me, so she picked on the sweetest Wednesday fan instead.

Oh waaaaah, the #cancelpercy queen got butthurt. Time to "BTW!"

First thing's first: That she wrote that I'm "clearly sexually obsessed with" Ortega is such sweet projection from her when she hangs out with bitches who do this shit here

I'm on my phone and can't upload the numerous, numerous examples of that whole fucking troupe of gooning fucktards that make up the Twitter Bitches.

I really think this projection is wild. Has she seen this blog? Has anyone who continually accuses me of being like them seen this blog? I'm not sure they have. I think they're drawing the conclusion that I'm like them because they love to read and sometimes write wlw Ortegoon and can't separate fiction from reality. It's all that fucking y/n bullshit and the projection of their shit onto Wednesday/Enid and/or Jenna/Emma that makes them believe that I write what I write because I'm stuck on her like they are.

I dunno how many times I need to say it:

I like older men. Me gustan los hombres mayores. M'agraden els homes grans. Eu gosto de homens mais velhos. J'aime les hommes plus âges. Sono attratta dagli uomini più grandi. Jag tycker om äldre män. Ich mag ältere Männer. мені подобаються чоловіки старшого віку. мне нравятся мужчины постарше.

(Apologies to my Ukrainian ficwife and any Russians reading, if I fucked those up 💀)

I did say that I like younger women in my bio too, but the way the lot have been raised online isn't appealing to me, especially when the 25 to 30-year-olds are still acting like they're toddlers. If I was 15 or 16 today, I still would have written Satisfying Afterburn and Under Virgin Circumstances...because it's mostly from the characters' eye/psyche, and the main characters happen to be (not-exactly-average) adolescent girls. I have a unique perspective though, since I'm now an older man, but these bitches forget about the 🏳️‍⚧️ part all the goddamn time. Yes, I'm a man, but we're not the type of man who can entrap a girl into motherhood or be trapped into fatherhood with one simple mistake (something that nearly happened to me when I was fucking an idiot peer at 14).

Anyway, back to the stupid fuck who can't seem to extract her fist from Percy's ass: I'm respectful to those who deserve it, and 30-something y/o women (or men) who spend their lives cultivating entire social media accounts dedicated towards ensuring that no one forgets how much they hate a certain actor AND pissing on said actor's supporters (fans, stans, and others...I am an "other" and always have been) do not deserve anyone's respect or grace. Which of these fucking stans does? They all ignore what Jenna and Emma say about their work relationship and characters; they can't keep fiction and reality separate.

(ETA, fell asleep...narcolepsy sucks but so does writing more than half a dozen things at once.)

Ultimately I want all of you fucking crazy stans who do this kind of thing with Ortega to understand that you are abnormal. Nearly a quarter of a century ago, none of us in the Potter fandom would have ever dreamt of harassing Emma Watson like this because we weren't entitled little cunts who arrogantly believed that anything in fandom, or anything that we felt about her life was relevant to what she had to do IRL. We kept fandom to fandom, save for the stupid broad who confronted the Phelps Twins with Fred/George Weasleycest at a con, which we heavily condemned. We knew fandom wasn't supposed to encroach into an actor's life like that. So why in fuck's name do these fucks do it? Did we have fandom wars like this? Sure, we had lots of them, but never was it an argument that devolved into what Watson or any other actor was wearing or who they were possibly dating at the time, despite that we all knew of her (mutual) crush on Tom Felton; no one tried to interfere with that.

But then came the fucking Twihards and their relentless harassment of Robert Pattison and Kristen Stewart, because those kids (and moms 💀) couldn't separate fiction from reality either. Perhaps that's where it started; obsessive, entitled fuckers who thought it would be cool to send death threats to both at one point because they didn't feel like they were getting what they wanted/what they felt was right with "Robsten" (which WAS an actual thing, mind, unlike Wenclair), and to send out racist memes about FKA Twigs (who Rob started dating at one point). They didn't like any of it and the Twistans acted upon their feelings, which everyone realizes ten years later was fucking wrong. Fanshipping made that mistake with them and it's making the same kind of mistake over again with the Wednesday fandom and Jenna Ortega, starting in January 2023.

Fan culture can lead to great friends and great enemies. This crossover invasion of privacy shit has been bad for over a decade, yet the Jenna and Emma stans are relentlessly warped in the brains and can't learn from fan history. I wish I could chalk it up to kids being kids, but y'all aren't kids (though to me, some of you really are 👴🏽). They're all mostly in their 20s. EIE/inzayn isn't a child either at 30+, but unironically acts like one, much like all of her little Twitter Twat friends who swoon over the endless amount of modeling pics/sessions Ortega is crapping out. This fucking fandom isn't even a playground where "kids" can play unbothered, it's a daycare from Hell with endless crying/screaming about things that are out of our control and older kids punching at the smaller ones.

The above is the near equivalent to a clique of kids talking (obviously truthful) shit about their bully only to have their bully overhear and be compelled to unleash their insane Hell upon them. EIE didn't have to respond, but she did, and in the process further exposed herself for the bad faith actor that she is, bitching at someone who was genuinely trying to reverse course and apologize for something she said. That coy, bilious shit isn't going to change at her age. The nasty is ingrained, and you either meet it with equal aplomb or ignore it.

I’d like to thank rofan manhwa and my history lectures for single handed oh fueling the plot of analepsis

[astro-b-o-y-d]

I don't wanna say that the Dunmeshi fandom is speedrunning towards that hyperspecific level of annoying a fandom gets to after a while, but whew buddy
