idk if this is a contreversial take or not but i think that the ideal internet experience is being able to remove specific things (triggers, nsfw, gore) if you truly dont want to see them but overall being also shown things you aren’t interested in. i think one of my fave things about tumblr is seeing like 50% of my dash be about fandoms im not in, bands i dont like and quotes from books i dont want to read rather than this endless feedback loop of tiktok showing me ‘exactly what i want to see’ in a trap to keep me online as long as possible and blind to communities outside of my own. i want a mix of curating my own experience and a healthy dose of content i don’t already know i want to see, yknow?

"immortality sucks because all your friends die" all your friends die anyway. those we do not mourn are those who mourn us.

"immortality sucks because you forget who you are" we always forget who we are. do you remember who you were at four years of age? who you were at fourteen? "who i am" is a shadow cast on the wall.

"immortality sucks because" skill issue. skill issue. skill issue. give me your liver

something ive noticed after being a hobby cosplayer for years is that in a lot of places the general consensus seems to be that wearing costumes in public is weird and/or socially unacceptable, but whenever I'm in costume in public while on the train to the con venue or having a photoshoot on location or something, people by and large fucking love my costume. they think it's so cool. kids think my costume rocks. their parents are impressed that I made it myself. random grandmas tell me my armor kicks ass. I was at a japanese garden once and barely got around to doing the photoshoot me and my homies came there to do because swathes of visitors who had never heard the word cosplay before were lining up to take a picture with me.

it's the same thing with adjacent hobbies like larp or reenactment or fursuiting, the general image of the hobby is that you're weird nerds (and probably also sex perverts) for playing dressup despite not being a child but when you're actually in costume the response from random normies is categorically positive. I inevitably get weird looks from the kind of people who think having a tattoo is an affront to god but they give me that look for just existing with blue hair and pronouns too and the people who actually talk to me always do because they wanted to tell me they love my costume. and the response that always gets me the most is when they say it looks fun but they would never dare to do the same. it's such a shame. why did wearing a silly little costume have to become an act of bravery.

favorite thing ever is leaving this gif in Ao3 comment sections

because A: a shocking amount of people don't know abt the 'img src=' trick to add images into comment sections, and B: well over half of the authors seem to really enjoy the sentiment

tbh my music taste is so hard to describe like it’s literally everything except for the songs i dont like

my friend just told me that there's a secret second dashboard that solely contains posts from people you've turned on post notifications for, and when i click the link in the messages it opens it within the tumblr app, so the tumblr app also has a secret second dashboard for post notification blogs, and the only way to access it is to open the link for it within the app.

i literally love tumblr

You know who's going through it right now that we don't give enough credit or support to? People going through friendship breakups.

Here's to everyone who has broken up with a friend and felt great.

And everyone who has broken up with a friend and felt terrible.

Here's to everyone missing a friend that they used to be really close with and now it's like you barely know each other anymore.

Here's to everyone whose relationship or familial status has changed and they've lost friends because of it.

And everyone who've stayed single or childless and have lost friends because of it.

Here's to everyone who made friends with someone and then they turned out to be toxic somewhere down the line.

Here's to everyone who really struggle to put up boundaries with friends. And when you try, you're made to feel like a bad person and unsupportive or a liar. Or maybe you don't try at all and you just deal with the suffering a little longer because it'll get better.

Here's to everyone that has struggled to break up with a friend because you don't really have another support system in place. You'd rather have one friend than no friends or go through the whole ordeal of trying to make new friends. It sucks.

Here's to everyone who question if others think that one friend is as bad as they are, or if you're alone. But because of that you can't vent to anyone who might feel the same way or understand.

Here's to everyone who have gone through with a friend breakup or distanced themselves from one person in a larger friend group, and you've ended up losing everyone in that group. I'm sorry.

Here's to everyone who have broken up with a friend and feel like you've lost a huge part of yourself. Like your entire sense of self identity has been irreparably altered.

There are a lot more scenarios. But the last one I'm gonna touch on...

Here's to everyone in toxic friendships or friendships that don't serve them or any combination or variation thereof and don't realize it yet. You might be reading this right now, you might not think this applies to you. You might even see something that does. If one day, you start to realize that something feels off? Believe in the way you feel.

It hard. It's really hard. But your feelings, your fears, your mourning, your relief. It's all valid. And you're not alone.
