#(unless the p/rn bots count)

[embv]

anyway if anyone is curious about where i’m at with the dsmp lore, i’m at that awkward stage where my initial hyperfixation for a character has died down and i sit back and think about their actions and their behaviors and i look back at how i justified/rationalized those as being better (or done with good intentions) than they were, and at how i would have characterized this character in the height of my hyperfixation, and i realize: wow, this character is more of an asshole than i was willing to admit, and i think part of me even knew that but was just too protective of my idea of them to admit that, maybe, despite already knowing they were an asshole, they were a Lot meaner than i treated them as, and i’m going to have to adjust my characterization of them and their subsequent dynamics with other characters (while still remaining in line with canon content and canon themes) because of it.

when I sent those asks about your favourites they were srs btw I realised that they probably sounded like bots

Wait, how long have these been sat in my ask box?! I'm sorry if it's been a long time, I've legitimately only just seen them and I can't find the sending notes so I apologise again if it's been a while :(

I'll answer them all here, to avoid dash spam :P

Favourite TV show: I don't really tend to watch telly these days bc it's all the same stuff and I don't often have the attention span to watch things unless I'm with someone to chat about it :') the most recent thing I watched was Bake Off and even that was way more enjoyable when watching it with my best friend! I've been watching a lot of Disaster Breakdown on yt recently which probably doesn't count, but it's the best answer I can give you :')

Favourite animal: Dogs! I know it's a basic answer but I work with them for a reason! Cows are a close second, though! (I went to college on a farm for a reason) /j

Favourite snack: It changes p often bc I find one and then live off of it until I'm sick of it but rn it's ritz crackers <3

Thank you for the asks, I really do appreciate them! I hope I haven't had these in my ask box for too long

How to Fix Tumblr and where I’ll be

Where to find me.

I’ll keep my tumblr up as long as the site is viable, but you can find me other places too. I’ll be posting fanart, fancomics, fanfic, ect.

Pillowfort (new fancomic coming tomorrow)

Personal twitter

Art only twitter

Ao3

I don’t know if this post will get shadowbanned, so reblogs are greatly appreciated!

I was thinking too, Verizon cares so much about advertisers? Don’t give them any. As long as this ban is up, don’t just email verizon. Don’t click on any ads to products through here. Not shows, books, physical goods, ads for movies, anything. I’m not saying boycott the products, oh no. They want to show the people advertising their ads work. So don’t let them have that. If you get anything advertised, like say hulu? Don’t click on their through link. Just look it up in another browser or hulu proper. When asked how you heard about the show, don’t mention tumblr. Don’t mention verizon. Don’t mention yahoo. I’ll tell surveys I heard it via carrier pigeon, before I tell them I heard it from a verizon company. They like algorithms so much? Lets mess with them.

I’d urge everyone not to just logoff tomorrow (not delete unless you want to), but call your reps about SESTA/FOSTA. Make this a hot button issue. These laws are directly connected to what’s happening on tumblr and other websites now. Laws that on the surface sound like they’re mean to protect people. But do the exact opposite. They make it harder to help victims of human trafficking, and they also gutted Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act that was part of Safe Harbor. That has been around since 1996 and was a founding principle that just because someone owns a website, doesn’t mean they’ll be treated as the original poster of any illegal content. These laws changed that in regards to sexual solicitation. It doesn’t matter if the owners take action afterwards, they can be held accountable now as the original poster.

These are the laws that are actively causing the damage done to places like tumblr and facebook, and even privacy violations. This is why Microsoft earlier this year changed their policies to say they can now read people’s skype conversations, word documents, emails, ect to make sure nothing inappropriate is going on. Because all they’re doing is sweeping ANYTHING remotely adult. (How many art tutorials and figure drawings are going to get lost? Even completely sfw accounts like @senshistock got hit.)

If you want things changed, then call and make some noise about getting this repealed and something in place that actually helps people, not censors the internet.

I plan on taking part in the tumblrlogoff protest. It’s not just about p*rn (if it was I wouldn’t have been followed by at count 10+ bots since this mess began.) This is about censorship. It’s about artists, even those that fit within tumblrs guidelines, being destroyed. It’s about this ban coming in on International End Violence against Sex Workers day. It’s about everything and anything being targeted, because algorithms aren’t magic. It’s about a company that cares more about advertisers than getting rid of neo nazis. It’s about so much more than just one thing.

Tumblr communities are great at making noise and causing an upset. Lets all get LOUD.

12. When did I create my blog: July 27th 2011

13. What do I post: Fandom stuff mostly, usually 1 primary obsession with the odd smattering of other things - used to be predominantly spn, now it’s Gotham... (secret - I was recently thinking of stepping back from Gotham blogging, because it was starting to feel a bit stressful but... last ep and subsequent discussion has been fun, there’s more Foxy focused fan works happening now... I’m pretty sure I’m over my secret wibble and am in for the long haul after all!)

14. Last thing I Googled: Danger Mouse - for a link in the previous meme :p

15. Do I have any other blogs: tumblr? no (unless you count @savenaomi, which was for a campaign that’s over now) - I still have an LJ out there though

17. Why I chose my url: My name’s Holly, I’m small, hollyleaves are a thing...

My dad is genuinely tone deaf and I think I take after him some... like... I can tell when something/someone is REALLY out of tune... usually... maybe... but often will not notice (eg. apparently in spn when Sam and Dean sing ‘Dead or Alive’ Sam is embarrassingly out of tune? ...didn’t know until fandom started lol-ing about it and still can’t tell when I watch the relevant scene, so...)

30. Favorite song right now: ...can’t even think of a song I’ve been listening to recently! Although I DID just put a bunch of Xmas songs on my playlist, because I am a SUCKER for Xmas songs, cheesier the better XD So we’ll go with my fav Xmas one, which is Fairytale of New York (because it’s upbeat but also ansty!)

I managed 4 tags last meme, that’s my limit tonight...
