Every other social media site in March: hey what's up I guess it's march now

Tumblr:

I really, really hate that you can't click back to the original post in a blog when you click on it anymore. Just now, there was art I wanted to see the original tags for, and I was like "No big deal, it was only 4 days ago, I'll scroll."

Two full minutes of scrolling and I'd barely made it back a day, and I gave up. Super happy your active on tumblr, friend, but I just wanna see the tags. 😭😭😭

KISS RN 💥💥 DO IT KISS KISS RIGHT NOW I DARE U 💥💥 BET U WON'T

I just watched Turtles All The Way Down and I have some thoughts (I’m sick rn so if John somehow stumbles across this I’m so sorry for my dehydrated ramblings):

This is a great adaptation of the book. I love John Green’s works and I loved how Turtles took bits from the Anthropocene Reviewed and put little bits in here as well (and I loved the cameo). Yeah I did cry near the end.

As an aspiring filmmaker, part of me thinks that John’s work isn’t translatable to screen because his writing is so verbose and intrinsic. I love reading John’s works because they put my thoughts on paper, but having to watch that play out while also having a narrator and on-screen representations of abstract thoughts feels very on-the-nose for film. However, this isn’t necessarily a fault to the movie, it’s just how John writes (I realize now that calling him John is very informal, but he’s my internet uncle so I’m sorry Mr. Green but that feels weird to call you). ALSO I’m a big believer in making whatever the fuck you want however you want as long as it’s staying true to yourself, your art, and your audience, and I liked the movie so ahhhhhh I’m running out of coherent thoughts.

I haven’t watched Looking for Alaska or Paper Towns because of things I’ve heard about them (ik, a bad reason not to watch something) and because they aren’t my fav of his books. But I loved Turtles and I’m glad that the director put so much care into trying to tell the story the right way. I could also tell that John was a huge part of the filmmaking process.

If anyone has read this far into my exhausted ramblings, then I’ll just say: I liked it 4/5.

P.S I also didn’t like the amount of product placement, I get that you gotta pay for the movie somehow, but product placement in movies ALWAYS rub me the wrong way (especially when they have very strong messages RE: Barbie). I also know that Applebees and the PopTart box is part of the book but shhhhjjjhhhhhh

P.P.S I’ve been a fan of John Green since The Fault in Our Stars was popular. It was my favorite book in 6th grade and I went to see the movie premiere with my mom when it came out. I’ve also been on Tumblr since then. I read Paper Towns and An Abundance of Katherine’s back to back in the same day. John’s work both as an author and as a general human has been a huge part of my life and a huge part of my journey as a creative person. I’m going to graduate college in a semester and I just want to say thank you for helping me and inspiring me through literally half of my life.

that 'unalive' shit over on instagram fills me with so much rage

makes me want to fucking kill a bitch

[mj-duncan]

Yoooo, I got my OG blog (mjduncan) back!!!! (Apparently there was “a glitch” on their end 🤨😬🙃). Anyway, I’ll keep this one as a backup in case fuckery happens again, but this is a head’s up that I’ll be going back to using my old one.

At this point, gravity falls has been trending for WEEKS consecutively and I don’t know what that says about this hellsite or its desire to return to its roots but it definitely says something

slowly becoming a tumblr user again (scrolling through what you specifically think is good and/or funny)

god made me a girl because otherwise he'd get dicked down, and he's a coward like that

[welcometoqueer]

man, we gotta make like, an extremely long, detailed test people gotta survive and pass before they’re allowed to make a “informal” tumblr account

AND THEN the survivors of that get thrown in a gauntlet where og tumblarians get to watch them fight and panic as they try to figure out how to survive on this site

if they manage to survive all that then I guess, they can stay…I still won’t be happy about it but I won’t be as pissed off if they “pay their dues,” so to speak

no but for real, y’all are doing great work out there, keep those twitter users far away from here!

[highlynerdy]

Once again, I'm away from Tumblr for less two days and something has happened (is happening??) and I have exactly zero idea what's going on. Goncharov? Y'all. What the hell lol?? It's a fake movie? I think?? That is trending #1 so I'm impressed. This webbed site is truly unlike anything else.
