what happened w the staff wrt “scortched earth”

ok so staff has a new page @/humans where they've got a post up listing several of the current moderators for the site, some of whom linked their own tumblr blogs. user @partyjockers made an original post like "so the new staff lineup explains why mods aren't blocking actual terfs huh" & then reblogged their own post with screenshots for evidence, one of the @/humans intro post, and one of the blog of one of those mods, "jas," @/jezzuminah. all publicly visible posts.

jas is a diehard hp fan, but people paid close attention to her artwork (her art tag is linked in a pinned post at the top of her blog). she's done a lot of dramione fanart, a lot of attack on titan fanart, and ship fanart of aged up preschoolers from spy x family. of note, she also put in her header, "opinions are my own," which is typical for ppl maintaining private social media accts linked to their real professional lives, as a way to ask for or demand a free pass to be inflammatory in some way w/o facing prof'nl. repercussions.

most of the commentary I saw at that point on @partyjockers's post was like, "lol that figures," bc it's not like any of that is especially shocking to see on tumblr; it's dime a dozen in fandom circles, but funny to confirm that "yeah the employees #on here are like that too, ugh, smh. 🙄"

within ONE DAY, staff had no only entirely shut down & seemingly permabanned @partyjockers, AND copyright striked the original screenshots so they get blanked out to error pictures if you try to repost them, they also did something they've never done before + which past staff have indicated was not doable within the tumblr framework: they scrubbed every trace of the post from the site. original post, gone. THOUSANDS of reblogs, all gone. even notifications from people interacting with reblogs of the post, wiped from the activity page. like beyond twitter, where if you delete a tweet, you can still see people's responses from THEIR pages, and you can still see QRTs even if you can't see what's been retweeted... every interaction w that post was gone. @partyjockers, gone. jas just toggled off the "view top posts" feature, locked her twitter & instagram, and deleted one piece of dramione fanart that people began reblogging after that overkill response.

and NOW the scrutiny is higher than ever before, because it's all fun & games and "my opinions are my own" until one person hurts your feelings (at WORK) by pointing & saying, "harry potter fan!" ...and, vitally, they also proved @partyjockers right. they've always been able to erase the entire footprint of violent fascists, people spreading explicit hate speech, literal nazis, revenge porn distributors, doxxers, bigots who run active harassment campaigns (incl some terfs!), ppl who share EXPLICIT csa materials, gore, etc.— even pages like @communismkills just got shadowbanned, and that was after a LONG TIME being a leaking sphincter on this site.

and tumblr staff have thus far ONLY ever unleashed this big gun ONCE in the whole history of the site, to my knowledge, as a tool to take down a page that wasn't even, like, a "whistleblower" for anything that serious, but who JUST SAID, "y'all don't ban terfs (true!) & y'all hire harry potter fans (also true!)," which apparently this new staff took sooooo personally & seriously & disparagingly (lol) that they nuked a random person's page from orbit over the "insult."

and we're currently on day 2, so I'm sure more will eventually unfold, but yeah, this scorched earth tactic is genuinely batshit hostility out of nowhere, over not even mild criticism but just a literal factual observation.

ive done irreparable damage to my own psyche with my new fankid from my xover 😔

honestly the only way to achieve true joy and peace in this life is to put massive tremendous effort and soul into crafting an OC that lives in your mind and occasionally escapes to run around a discord server before returning to ur mind to enact more damage

cinderaqua >:3

uh I think you mean aquarella

so pretty much everything I know about Disney Cinderella is from KH which is a wild sentence to say but I've never seen that movie so uhhhh. let's go?

Aqua 'I think I sense something in Cinderella's world I should go check on that' while Terra just stares at her like she can't bullshit her way out of this crush and Ven hasn't caught on yet

Aqua stumbles through confessing her crush originally, sure she's gallant in a fight and can profess how much she cares but this is something else entirely and Cinderella let's it go on for at least a minute longer secretly amused before she puts Aqua out of her misery there

Cinderella knows that the Aqua that comes back years later isn't the same one that left, there's something a little more brittle there but she's the same noble warrior who protected her all the same and when Cinderella reaches out her hand Aqua still takes it. If her hand shakes then Cinderella just holds harder.

Aqua isn't great at dancing and Cinderella just has to laugh and teach her, there's no particular dance they'll learn but they're sure trying to

I mean eventually Aqua explains some things because at this point Cinderella's been kidnapped and knows about the whole princess thing and some of the darkness stuff so Aqua has someone she can talk to about at least some of this stuff and even if she doesn't fully understand the things Aqua saw in the realm of darkness she knows Aqua's in pain with the memories and tries to help as best she can making up stories and humming quietly while Aqua stares at the open sky without a shred of darkness in sight

Actually let Aqua take her girlfriend to other worlds to have a vacation. I don't care about the laws and rules. Give Aqua a break and let her kiss Cinderella.

a/b/o rly is the wild wild west of bad anatomy and pseudo furry nonsense its so funny its my emotional support nightmare section of fandom

honestly what's so funny about a/b/o is once you really start looking at it there are way furrier things out there. like it's definitely adjacent and it definitely depends on like, kind of werewolf-style lore? but as far as furry things go, this isn't the tip of the iceberg. this isn't even on the iceberg. this and the iceberg maybe made eye contact once on the subway
