The current state of the caste system is wildly misinterpreted and implemented unofficially/officially in South Asia and the whole entire world.
I blame colonialism and the arrogance of humanity
It’s honestly a disgrace that people think you’re born into something by blood and not by who you intrinsically are

I have been on tumblr actively since 2010. Here is what I have noticed, which no one asked for.
How to be Well-Liked on Tumblr
I almost put famous but, well, Tumblr Fame is meaningless.
1) Be good at something
It doesn't matter what you are good at. You might be good at editing gif sets, good at writing fanfic, good at making art.
Maybe you are good at making people laugh, good at theorizing, good at memes.
Hell, you might just be good at reblogging! People just might see you as a person who has all the same tastes as them and follow.
Tumblr people are interested in seeing people CREATE. To make things. ANYTHING. Make art. Make music. Make jokes. Make theories. Make a cool BLOG. The blogs that MAKE are the ones with a following. As long as they don't violate rule 2.
2) Be Genuine
Tumblr peeps do not care if you are pretty or rich or famous. They do not care about your brand or aspirations of being an influencer. Not only do we on tumblr not care, we are downright HOSTILE to it.
We all have seen how advertisers ruin a website, and we don't want it.
We are not interested in a cult of personality. We don't want the carefully cultivated image of you. We aren't INTERESTED in you advertising yourself.
This is the exact opposite site for that. We want to be genuinely US. We want to be cringe. We want to be silly. We want to be LOUD. There is a REASON we all want to be anonymous, and its because there is so little space for us to be genuine without judgement.
If you're not being genuinely you, tumblr will be hostile. You will get blocked. And honestly, why wouldn't you want to be genuinely you?
You want to advertise your brand? There are so many sites for that! Go to instagram! Its made for that.
This is a place where YOU can be YOU. No judgements.
Hell, of the famous people Joining Tumblr, I would recommend you NOT tell anyone who you are!
I saw a video of Markiplier once saying that he had a moment of realization that he had gotten so famous that he he would never be able to make a genuinely close relationship with his fans.
This is your opportunity!
Be SOCIAL, not advertise.
Be YOU, not #you.
If you want to be well liked, and you want to have fun. Those are the two rules.
Create and Just. Be. You.

Thanks to artfight, I’ve finally finished a detailed, official dbhc cub reference! :D
(I’ve put his Artifight description below the cut, which has a more detailed explanation of his timeline, lore, and aesthetics! >:3)
-ˋˏ ༻ ❁ OVERVIEW ❁ ༺ ˎˊ-
Name: C.B.F.N.4000 (Cub)
Pronouns: He/Him
Species: Android
Height: 5’9’’
Associated Visual Themes: vex, ghosts, explosions, mischief, scientist aesthetic, potions, potionmaking, sleepy/tired aesthetic, conspiracies
-ˋˏ ༻ ❁ ABOUT ❁ ༺ ˎˊ-
CBFN4000 is an au version of MCYT Hermitcraft’s Cubfan, set in my DBHC (or Detroit Become Hermitcraft) AU! This au is inspired by the 2018 game Detroit Become Human, but not because it really has anything to do with DBH—I simply yoinked the android mechanics and incorporated them into the world of Hermitcraft. It began as a S8 au, and has roughly followed the hermitcraft timeline up to the present!
Cub was the last android made during Season 8. While many of the hermit androids were made at the beginning of season 8 and a few were made for season 9, Cub was finished and activated mid-late Season 8, around the time when Hermits started noticing the Big Moon. Cub’s model ended up being a sloppy experiment in deviation, as Doc suggested they try to transfer deviancy to an android upon activation to try and avoid traumatic situations that might cause an android to deviate violently or upsettingly, such as Etho’s, Tango’s, or Mumbo’s experiences. While this went relatively well initially, it clearly wasn’t very thoroughly thought out, as Xisuma (who is normally so adamant and detail-oriented when it comes to assuring the androids’ safety with experiments like this) wasn’t truly himself due to external manipulation and mostly left a relatively young-deviant Doc to carry out the project himself.
Cub, though adjusting to sentience rather well at first, very quickly became wrapped up in the Big Moon happenings on the server, new personality and inexperience to emotions like fear and ignorance completely overwhelming his young system. He became obsessive over the implications and consequences of the Season 8 Moon Apocalypse, joining the Mooners and spreading his conspiracy theories religiously throughout the server as he descended into madness. The insanity was like a virus to his programming, pervasive and all-engulfing, and Cub’s final attempt to free himself from the Moon’s impact with the Earth—to launch himself on a llama into space via potion-powered TNT(insane btw)— left his hands and feet singed and cracked to ruin.
The experiment, considered a horrific failure by a deeply shameful—and more awake—S9 Xisuma, left Doc and Xisuma with the decision to reset him for the new season, and they ended up pairing him with a hermit like they had done with the other androids until they had found deviancy enough to pursue their own projects. So, at the start of season 9 and fresh after a reset, Cub was paired with Scar. Naturally, because Scar is… Scar, Cub deviated almost instantly after being given to him, and very quickly adopted the iconic lazy, stoic, amused attributes normally associated with Cubfan. Scar’s tendency towards mischief and general shenanigans grew instantly on Cub, and the two were an immediate inseparable pair. So much so that when Scar began rambling one day about his Season 5 Hermitcraft Shenanigans (where deals with the Vex may or may not have been involved), Cub immediately stated he was interested in being in on it. Whatever “it” means. It’s unclear if Cub also made a deal with the vex or became connected to them in some other way, but… well, he got Doc’s help to trick out his eyes, hair, and back to best fit the part. Scar is very jealous that he can't magically make himself have the same features to match.
Cub is closest with Scar, but he gets along just as well with any of the other hermits! He’s close with Jevin and many of the other redstoners like Etho and Doc, who are the other two androids I’ve put on artfight!
-ˋˏ ༻ ❁ EXTRAS ❁ ༺ ˎˊ-
Cub's eyes can light up in the dark, and he’s the only android who has edited his programming so that the default state of his LED is white, not blue. It still will go yellow and red if his processors are working particularly hard, but he’s replaced the blue setting on his LED with white to better match the Vex vibe. Cub has all of the vibes of a fae. If that’s anything <3

ohhh antony is carrying the show on his back 😭 https://x.com/screenrant/status/1805265919741989352?s=46
i don't want to discredit the work that writers do, especially in laying the groundwork for a character like homelander and crafting a compelling arc for him with every new season. and i'm sure they were very involved in the making of ep 4 as well, despite kripke generously giving credit where it's due here. however...
it is nice to know that antony starr has not only elevated the character with a superb performance but also made some pretty valuable contributions to the script :) obviously i'm biased but i think he is the standout of every episode. i'm throwing emmys at him
