#i need to queue up some of my shit from twitter too i have so many good ones there

[kingshovelbug]

im sorry but i need to geek out somewhere and screaming into the void on tumblr is less likely to get me flayed than on twitter, especially if i get terms wrong. plus i can do a read more and yall can click into the tech talk if you want to verse it bombarding your twitter timelines

so idk if i only liked it or if i actually put it in my queue but i saw a post that talked about a few pieces of tech that focus on user repairs and being sustainable (fairphone and frameworks laptop) and after doing some more research into what they have to offer i actually really excited that these products are finely hitting the us market and that people are moving away from the belief that super smooth streamlined glassy = the future. being able to reliably repair and keep what you have alive verse throwing the whole thing away when maybe all you needed to do is add more ram to your current laptop (something that i would do with my laptop to keep using it for a few more years if it wasnt glued shut and i was at risk of cracking the screen) or swap out a fuse.

i know big corporations dont like it but i truly do believe with how much tech we use on a daily basis that the way that we are going to be more environmentally friendly is to move back to tech that we can hang onto for as long as we can and to recycle and then reuse what we cant. like with the frameworks laptop. i saw that they just partnered with coolermaster to create a case specifically so that you can reuse you motherboard, cpu, etc and make a portable workstation. you could dual wield with the laptop you just upgraded if you want to dedicate specific tasks to one or the other. they also specifically mentioned that you could screw it into the back of a monitor and create your own all in one. guys thats cool as shit??? if you had a 3d printer and some time you could even create that yourself

on top of the actual hardware part moving to open source programs when your able. when i update my desktop i plan on running linux. it might have a learning curve compared to windows but in terms of performance??? ive heard that it runs smoother even on older machines, that its more efficient because isnt running stuff in the background that tracks your data and shit. now i understand that not everyone can do that because there are some programs that dont play nice with linux but for my needs at least it does everything i would need it to. and maybe a couple years down the road we do figure out how to run these programs on certain flavors of linux since its open source and people fiddle with it so much. (still looking for alternatives to like word and excel though, i use google docs since its free but i want to move away from them as much as i can too since they laid of their youtube music team (i believe?? it might of been a different branch) for trying to unionize)

if anyone knows of any other smaller companies that actually focus on sustainability and user repairability please let me know. theres certain pieces of tech that i think are now unfortunately behind a software repair paywall, things that used to be just machines and are gaining more bells and whistles like cars and refrigerators if that makes sense. but the more we push for these things to be repairable by us the consumers id hope that would change, or there would at least be options that dont need specific companies to repair them or else they blow up

I’m meeting Dan tomorrow and I’m so stressed. What do I do? What do I say? I’m so unprepared

ahhh yay you're gonna have SO MUCH FUN!!! i pinky double promise there is zero need to be stressed because he is the loveliest dude in the world and is a total pro at m&gs but here are some helpful tips under the cut:

BEFORE YOU MEET HIM

if you're nervous try getting there earlier than you need to be so you can be closer to the front of the queue and will have less time to get anxious

bring something for him to sign! like one of the books/art/a print out for him to sign. if you don't have anything on you, you'll probably get your VIP bag before you meet him and there is a photo in there he can sign! (i got him to write my fav lyrics on a blank stock paper and now it's on my wall and i love it so so much so maybe something that's personal to you?) **side note i wrote down the lyrics on a sticky note ahead of time so he could just copy them down**

if you're going with someone, see if they'll be your buddy so that they can film your interaction while you use your phone to take the selfie (if you're going alone just ask someone in line to buddy up and i PROMISE you'll find someone like that queue is full of the nicest people who are also phannies...so in no way intimidating and also if they're alone you can swap and film them! plus bonus time to just look at dan)

screen record your phone so you can capture video of dan taking your selfies too

stalk meetdnp on twitter to ease the anxiety and also get some pose inspo

MEETING DAN PLAY BY PLAY

rosie (his assistant) will tell you when to go around the corner

dan will already have his arms open for a hug and he'll say hey

he might comment on your outfit/hair/anything as a conversation starter

if you have any gifts/letters to give him he'll ask if it's for him and take it/say thank you and give to security (if you have anything to say it's not too late to write a letter!!!)

if you have nothing to say he'll take over completely and ask if you want him to sign anything and then ask if you want a selfie. he's really really good about making sure you get your time but understands if you freeze up

if you have anything you want to say to him go ahead and do it! this is your time! he's heard it all so don't feel like you can't be sincere or emotional or funny! he genuinely loves meeting us!! you can tell him how long you've been subscribed or your favorite video! tell him how much something has meant to you or how much joy he's brought to your life! or just tell him he needs to check out [insert penis themed tourist site here]

if you don't have a pose in mind he'll take your phone (and i do mean man is gonna snatch your phone from your hand and if it's unlocked he WILL be a little shit so fair warning) and hold it up at a myspace angle and do a peace sign

if you have a pose in mind tell him and he'll do literally whatever! meetdnp has some amazing ideas but ultimately it's up to you! if you have someone filming you he will also pose for a full body shot too (he usually notices them and will ask if you want a full body photo) i do recommend holding hands bc it's just a lovely experience 🥺

if you initiate he'll go in for another hug and then say thanks for coming!

you leave the m&g area and then are free to process meeting the boy <3

you send me another message to tell me how it went!!!!!! good luck!!!! you are going to have THE BEST TIME!!!! (also if you're alone/want phannie friends DM me bc i have several friends who are going to tomorrow's show!!!)

I don't like talking about twitter drama anywhere but I just found the funniest twitter drama I've seen and it's literally about turon (a filipino snack made up of a fried wrapped banana with glazed sugar). Here's the translated thread as I guide you to this insanity:

"I SCOLDED CASHIERS AT SM MANILA SUPERMARKET. The line to buy a turon was long and there were only a few turon left on the stand. I was in the middle of the line and there was a lot more people behind me that wanted to avail a turon."

"There were 2 cashiers that were on break or had clocked out maybe that went to the cashier of the turon stand, and I heard that they were trying to reserve 2 turon. The cashier said 'Go to the line hey' but these two insisted that they don't need to go on the queue. So my blood started boiling because I really hate getting cut off in line."

"Then the one cashier took 2 turons for the two cashiers that cut in line. One of them said 'Dat ours?' then the cashier gave the turon to the two cashiers that cut in line and were waiting at the counter to pay. So my blood boiled even more."

"Then I told the cashier 'Miss you actually let these two cut in line while there's so many people in line, you're being unfair to the people waiting at the back' the cashier said 'Ah the two, sir?' Then I replied 'Obviously, yes!' with a bit of an angry tone in my voice."

"The 2 cashiers that cut in line for the turon were already holding them then I told these other two who were assigned in the counter that 'If you don't give up the turon, I'll let your manager know, there's a lot of people in line hoping to buy it too.' Dont tolerate that kind of attitude. So unfair!"

"The two cashiers didn't really say anything and they took the turon from the other two that cut in line. I just don't get why there's these kinds of people that could already see that there's a line but are still forcing themselves in and would choose to be unfair to others."

"Given that they're employees of SM, shouldn't they be more understanding because we're customers where they work. I'm not saying that the customer is always right, I just wish that they also know what's right and wrong. And there, I was able to buy a Turon with Chocnut*. Delicious!"

"And the people in line behind me because they were also able to buy some. 😊"

Additional Context:

Turon in SM is priced at PHP 25 which is relatively cheap. It's bout 0.50 USD?

More comparatively, seeing as OP looked at least middle to upper class (we'll discuss that later), it would've been easily affordable to him, but maybe a bit of a struggle for the two cashiers since they make less than the national average and are also contractual, often losing their jobs and not having any benefits.

Chocnut - a popular Filipino peanut butter chocolate that has a powdery consistency. it often melts in your mouth and is widely popular and beloved across the country.

This shit blew up and I mean blew up like this was just over ONE thread

It blew up so much that TURON started trending in Filipino twitter

Most people agreed that although cutting in line is bad, it seemed like OP felt way too proud of himself and probably should've just let it go because they were probably underpaid, overworked employees who only had 15 minute breaks.

OP's replies were also reeeeally self-important like

Person 1: mygod girl just dont anger a hungry person. lols OP: I stood up not for myself but for the people who were in line too and willing to wait. Again, respect and let's just be fair. Person 2: Oh no, he rly thinks of himself as a hero after what he's done here 😭😭😭😭

People jokingly started calling OP patay-gutom (lit. dead-hungry), a term we use here for someone extremely hungry and typically those who are hungry because of extreme poverty so OP decided to prove the haters wrong by... telling people that he was actually a millionaire???

Person 3: You're a bit patay-gutom sis in this part. All that lashing for turon? Hahaha. Get a life girly! Person 3: This is the deleted tweet of sissy @/op's handle [Screenshot of OP's tweet with an attached censored image of one of his bank account information that shows that he has 1.5 Million Pesos. OP: Me who's patay-gutom and a girly with no life, is this okay now? Or do I SS my other banks? Jkkkk✌🏻]

So anyway, here's some of my favorite tweets translated!

The turon of SM, bow The turon of SM is queued for The sweet banana, sugar and chocnut Spreads at every bite Giving joy to those in line and the cashier Yet the poor cashier Who stood for ten hours Was denied two of the turon...

Next time you should just buy turon here I mean you have P1.5 M in Metrobank anyway [Image of the top of a menu for Amanpulo Clubhouse Restaurant]

The line for turon at SM jk: [screenshots of two videos of people slowly walking in a line in a crowded railway station]

motherfucker your thread is so long that if you just used the time you used to type to just go to the next sm to buy turon

------------------

It's officially been about a day and half since this happened but it's still trending right now which is pretty crazy. I don't think I've ever been this blown away with discourse over filo twitter until now. I will probably think about Turon Man for a good while.

literally tumblr could capture so much of the social media market right now today by emphasizing their flexibility for content creators. this site is not Easy to grow on, no, but i don't think it needs to be in order to actually attract creatives—the things that make twitter and tiktok so easy to go viral on are also the things that enshittify social media. i don't want a super-discoverable algorithm, i want a more robust tagging system so that artists can upload their work and then sort it into genre tags, like #painting or #animal art or #concept art, and not be limited to the first five tags on their actual post. i want those tags searchable. give us a discovery page where we get, say, recent uploads to those genre tags, and maybe some of the "popular" ones that are picking up notes. like every art website for the past 15 years has been doing

like the best things about this site for artists, in my experience, are 1) flexibility and 2) long-term archival. the queue helps so much. your pieces will keep circulating for a long time organically just from people queuing posts. you aren't required to upload in specific resolutions or formats and i genuinely like a lot of the modifications staff has made to the photo upload process over the past couple years (uploading more than 10 pieces? being able to merge photo and text in the body of the post? hell yeah!), but tumblr has a compression problem and the full-screen viewer is glitchy and user-hostile. deviantart managed to figure that out and i think tumblr could too and that would attract, say, a ton of painters who moved to twitter for their portfolios. this site is really good in terms of allowing you to fully customize your blog's web interface and users have been figuring out how to make it work for us for a long time (see, for example, themes that are set up to host webcomics on your tumblr and allow you to click through posts like you're turning a page, in chronological order)

i don't even hate the concept of tumblr live! i think it's weird in its current iteration because they partnered with some shady fucking third party app, but can you imagine a native streaming functionality on this site that actually worked? i would be thrilled to be able to just jump into artists' livestreams. also i would absolutely use that to show people crowbar's harness walks. you don't have to enshittify it and try to shove monetization down people's throats, just give people the platform to so much as host their work and exist first. that's what artists don't have right now. deviantart has sucked ass since at least the eclipse redesign and twitter is actively dying; weasyl never really took off and the only people on furaffinity are either trapped there by their customer base or varying levels of covert about their neonazi shit. online Art Communities right now don't have anywhere, and tumblr could be that, and i don't think they're going to take the opportunity

🏳️‍🌈 WeHo Trans Nights: Chapter 1 (Bianca Del Rio / Kylie Sonique Love ; Multi) - Imafuckinglibra

A/N : Happy fucking pride, that’s it. I don’t care if the month’s almost over, this mini-series is my pride gift to you all and ngl myself. This was pure, unapologetic, self-indulgent smut that I wanted to exist and you know what, I am really proud of it. And yes, I pinky promise there will be art that follows for this next queue, k bye.

“…then this dumb bitch had the audacity to say, get this, people were killed at Stonewall.” 

The small room filled with a loud uproar of oohs, aahs and a few laughs, none of which came from Roy. He was far too busy reposting some snide comeback he tweeted at a heckler to his Instagram, his Instagram story, Facebook, and once again on Twitter, just for good measure.

“Did you hear that?” Darienne asked, slapping Roy roughly on the back. 

“Yeah bitch dumb something stonewall, so funny…” Roy drawled absentmindedly, still typing away on his phone.

Never one to shy from a good excuse to celebrate something, his best friend Shane threw an annual party to kick off pride. Always a different stupid theme and always a hotbed for degenerates. 

This being the 8th year in a row, Roy had had enough. All night, he’d fulfilled his best-friend duties and helped keep everything running smoothly, as usual, but nearing the end of the party he was not in the mood for any more mindless small-talk. Even with Darienne.

Darienne, still standing beside him, sighed deeply, “Will you lighten up please?”

“Ugh, why?” he grumbled. “You know I hate pride.”

“Now, Roy…” 

He felt someone’s hands on his shoulders. 

“My love.” It was Shane, cooing in his ear, taking the phone out of his hand just as he hit the last post. “Can we please put the phone away for one night and engage in polite society?”

Roy blinked at him slowly, emphasizing the stupidity in his statement with a loud smack of his lips.

“Look around you,” he gestured with his open palms, “NONE of these people are polite society.”

“Well-“

“Willam sucked off a guy while he watched dog porn, I know Australians have different worldviews but we regular folk see that as…what’s the word?” Shane shifted from one foot to the other, crossing his arms in annoyance as Roy kept pretending to think. “Nasty ass shit!”

“I hate you,” Shane broke out into a laugh, hitting Roy on the arm with his bedazzled rainbow fan, a little roughly at first but then a few more times, playfully, till Roy stopped frowning. 

“Okay, okay.” Roy snatched his fan from him. 

“But thank you for coming to my party, even if we have so many degenerates.”

“Of course, I get my best material at your little shindigs.” 

And that really was the God’s honest truth. As much as Roy loathed Shane’s parties and having to engage with so many people who he tolerated at best, it did make for some top-tier stand-up material. Material the budding comic desperately needed.

“Oh I know,” Shane nodded. “I intend to get royalties any day now.”

“Is that how it is?” He raised an eyebrow. “So this is a business affair?”

“Oh pussyface, at this point I’d settle for any affair.”

“Only if you ask nicely,” Roy shot back with a shit-eating grin, his hand sliding down from Shane’s shoulders to the small of his back.

“Don’t tempt me, I have guests to entertain,” Shane sighed, turning away from Roy and towards the room of people. “Like that one!” 

Shane waved at Adore, running off to go catch up.

Roy gave the room another scan, checking for any out of place cups or spills to clean up, even sort of hoping there would be a stain on the carpet to scrub so he’d have something to cure his boredom.

Then, like a godsend, he saw her walking towards him.

“My my, aren’t you just cuter than a box of kittens on a Sunday afternoon?” Kylie whistled when she saw Roy’s outfit.

“Haven’t seen you all night, I was wondering why this party was so quiet,” Roy teased. 

“Careful, one of these days I might take it personally,” Kylie smiled. She finally turned around, arms open for a welcoming hug. “Well hey there, Sugar!”

“How are you, Sugartits?” He squeezed her tight, getting a good whiff of her deliciously sweet perfume. 

Roy loved getting to hang out with Kylie, rare as it was. There wasn’t a specific reason, she was just that one friend he never really got to work with regularly and thus never spent time with. But it did make reuniting so much sweeter. 

They both looked at each other and gave a good exhale, neither sure what to say except the usual, “you look good” or “I’ve missed you”. 

Instead they quietly made their way to the bar where the poor twink bartender Shane found on Grindr was panicking while pouring drinks, clearly out of his depth. Roy’s sympathetic smile seemed like the only comfort he’d received all night and for a second he almost felt bad for him, till he decided to note it down in his phone for later material instead.

“Well,” Kylie broke the silence first, turning towards where Willam was still telling his story. “He’s doing the Derrick bit again…never gets new material, does he?”

“Nope.” Roy popped the p for emphasis. 

It seemed like every year, Willam would tell this same story, Roy would get drunk on the same cocktails and, if he played his cards right, Shane would ask him to stay over at the end of the night for a wild evening of sinfully good sex. The latter he wasn’t too mad at.

And Kylie. Every year they’d flirt a little over the same shots of tequila, catch up on what was new in their lives, and then part ways yet again. Same old same old, and this year she was right on cue again.

“I’m pretty surprised we’re dressed the same. I mean I look better but we knew,” she teased while they waited for their drinks from the struggling bartender. “I didn’t think anyone else would come as a slutty witch, let alone you.”

“Ouch,” Roy pretended to flinch, pressing his hand to his wounded chest. “Say what the fuck you really think, cunt.”

“Oh please, you can take it.” 

“You like that?” Roy asked, lifting a brow. “You should see how I give it.”

Even without looking Roy could feel her hand moving slowly closer to his on the countertop. He tried to decipher if it was just his mind playing tricks on him or if she was trying to do a little more than flirt this time around. 

Not that he would mind. She was gorgeous; she’d always been gorgeous but tonight, she was a downright smoke show. It was obvious how much work she put into her body just from her Instagram posts but seeing it in person was something else.

Well, that or just the obvious; the costume she wore was so small and tightly fitted it was damn near indecent.

When Shane had given the theme for the year as ‘Gay Christmas,’ the West Hollywood way of saying Halloween, he didn’t expect anyone else to even bother thinking of a witch; it was too mundane.

And yet, here Kylie stood in nothing but a corset, a lace bustle that showed off her black panties, leather opera-length gloves and boots that went all the way to her thighs. An oversized witch hat and teeny, tiny broom as accessories as if they were an afterthought to make the witch part fit.

“So um, can I ask you something?” Her fingers crawled towards him, running them over the back of his hand. 

“Yeah, sure.” He casually took a sip from his cocktail as if the butterflies in his stomach weren’t going berserk. 

“I need you to promise me if anyone brings out their guitar or starts singing again this year…”

“Oh god!” Roy burst out into hysterical cackling. The visions of last year’s fiasco and the horrors of 20 queers trying to sing over each other replayed in his mind.

“We are out of here!” She slapped his shoulder, joining in his laughter. “Member when uh, what’s her name?” She snapped her fingers, “the little one with the baby face and the sad songs?”

“Blair,” Roy shuddered. 

“Blair!” Kylie pulled her face in confusion. “I always expect some big gal with like some unseasoned potato salad in hand when someone says Blair St. Clair, don’t you?”

“If that ain’t the honest truth, bitch.”

They clinked their glasses and each took a sip, smiling cordially at each other before they returned their focus to where Willam was starting a new story about how drunk Derrick had gotten at a comedy special they did together. 

Not quite as old a story as his Stonewall tale, but once you got him going he didn’t relent on any chance to diss good ol’ Derrick Berry, especially when he was in attendance, practically blowing smoke out of his ears with rage. 

“So, how’d Shane talk you into this?” Kylie asked, dragging Roy’s focus back from his phone, yet again replying to snarky comments left on his posts.

“Do you mean the party or the get-up?” He didn’t even bother looking up, too distracted in his mission to get the last word in. 

“You do look fantastic in that shirt though,” she teased, fingering the little piece of loose thread around his shoulder.

Maybe he’d gone for a predictable look, a black mesh crop top that barely came up to his chest, the same leather harness every respectable queer person owned, black denim shorts, some knee length black boots (which Shane had happily provided) and a witch’s hat. 

“I know,” he nodded, finally putting the phone away. “Black’s my color. Have to admit, you don’t look half bad yourself.”

“Oh I know, sugar. You don’t have to tell me.”

“I always forget just how country you are until you talk.” He smiled, a sense of homesickness tugging at his chest. “Sugah.”

“Are you tickled, bitch?” 

“I am very tickled…especially by that outfit,” he whistled, making her spin around while holding her hand over her head. “You really—“

“Fill it out well?” Clearly she’d gotten this note before.

“No.” He grabbed her by the arm, pulling her roughly back against him so she’d be facing the same direction as him. “Look.”

“What?” She stopped, looking down at where he held her bicep.

“Better grab your shit…and quick.” He failed to hide an amused smile as he pointed over to where Trixie and Jinkx were setting up their chairs and a guitar.

“Oh, sweet baby Jesus…” Kylie’s eyes went wide in horror when Trixie began strumming the intro to Jolene by Dolly Parton. She quickly grabbed her drink, trying to chug the rest.

“Forget the goddamn drink, run!” Roy laughed, pushing her towards the front door with his hand on the small of her back.

*

“Is this your first time seeing my place?” she asked politely when they walked into her apartment. 

“Uh, yeah.” Roy nodded. “Pretty sure, but it’s nice. Good view.” 

God it was awkward.

“We don’t have to make small talk, do we?” she asked with a hesitant tone while putting down her stolen glass down on a countertop. It wasn’t that she didn’t want to talk to Roy and continue their banter from earlier, but she did have more pressing issues to take care of first.

Roy crossed his arms, his brows furrowed as if he was thinking something through, asking, “No chit chat? You sure?”

“If you are.” Kylie shrugged. 

Faster than she could say flash Roy closed the distance, crashing their lips together in a feverish rush. His hands were already desperately clinging to whatever fabric he could find to rip it off of her. 

“God you just got even sexier,” she breathed into his mouth. 

Kylie could feel the corners of his lips twisting into a smile, presumably at the relief that he didn’t have to wait around anymore. 

“Back, uh, back room, on the right,” she instructed between breathy moans, following Roy’s lead and removing the thin piece of fabric he dared call a shirt as he pushed her into her bedroom.

Their costumes flew left and right in a haphazard rush to undress till Kylie was finally down to just her corset, and Roy had to let go of her to focus. 

“Lord have mercy.” He stopped in his tracks, admiring her tits when they escaped the top loosened laces of her corset.

“You like em, baby?” Obviously Kylie knew the answer, given the way his mouth practically salivated at the sight of them. 

“You have no idea,” he moaned, taking one of her nipples in his mouth, causing her head to tilt back in gorgeous ecstasy as Roy’s tongue swirled around it, soothing where his teeth had grazed it. 

He let the now over-sensitive bud go with a loud pop, satisfied at his handiwork, and reached for the second one, repeating every step, every bite and every lick, making Kylie practically vibrate with desire.

“Now don’t make me beg.” 

Kylie’s long fake nails latched onto Roy’s ass in a desperate attempt to guide his thigh between her legs for any kind of friction as he kept worshiping her breasts. 

“I can’t help it,” he murmured into her neck, latching onto her pulse point with his teeth. 

“Dammit, why did I wear this stupid thing?” Kylie whined.

She hadn’t expected Roy, ever the hardass, to be so attentive or teasing, letting her get embarrassingly wet and needy before he even made an effort to remove her corset any further. 

“Don’t worry baby, I got you,” he soothed, at long last pulling the laces apart. 

His gentle tone was a stark contrast to the way his teeth tore into her flesh, nipping at freshly exposed skin lower and lower at a snail’s pace till his knees hit the floor.

“Boy, if you don’t-“ Kylie exhaled impatiently when he paused right at her clit, so close she could feel his breath against her wetness.

She grabbed a fistful of Roy’s hair, the fingers of her other hand spreading herself open so he couldn’t miss what she was asking. Practically offering herself up on a silver platter for him to indulge in.

Roy smirked at her, probably ready to quip something stupid back at her but she pulled his head between her legs, trapping him with a flat palm behind his head before he could even dare.

Finally obeying, his tongue flattened out against her with his eyes pointed up at her, carefully watching her every reaction to every drag of his tongue.

“Baby, please,” she moaned a little more forcefully this time, rolling her hips against him. She didn’t have the patience for teasing licks anymore. She tried angling her hips up so he’d get the message but her legs faltered. 

“Woah there.” Roy grabbed onto her with both arms, steading her so she wouldn’t tip over. “Maybe we should…” He tilted his head towards the bed.

“Might be for the best,” she admitted, letting go of Roy so he could stand up. 

Face to face again, Roy slipped his tongue into her mouth, letting her taste herself on him as he walked her till the back of her knees hit the bed and she finally laid down.

With his hands on each thigh and a good forceful push, he shoved her further on the bed, her head against the headboard so he’d have enough space to lay down between her thighs on the edge of the matress. 

“Baby,” Kylie gasped when Roy’s thumb replaced his tongue on her clit, swiping quick circles around and around till she was breathless. Her hips thrust sporadically onto his pointed tongue, white knuckles gripping the sheets the only thing grounding her. 

“Good?” 

Ungodly good. Her whole body was alight, lightheadedness set in, her belly warm with anticipation, her cheeks flushed bright glowing red; all the warning signs that she was about to snap.

“Faster…”

“You’re so-“ he tried humming against her but a firm tug at his hair shut him up again.

“Don’t speak!”

It was all too much, even the way Roy was moaning into her while his hips rolled against the edge of the bed. 

“Just a little more…oh god…” She sucked in a deep breath, bracing herself as waves of overwhelming pleasure crashed down on her, knocking the wind out of her till she was a softly cursing mess.

The way Roy was still trying to toy with her by tentatively licking slow strokes around her clit even after she stopped shaking, although appreciated, had left her overstimulated.

“I need a minute.” Kylie tapped Roy’s shoulder. 

“You okay?” 

“Are you okay?” 

“Well, I’m definitely kicking myself for not doing this sooner.” Roy flashed a cheeky grin, wiping his wet chin off on her thigh. 

“Oh, sweetheart.” She caressed his face, slipping her thumb into his mouth for him to suck on instead, dragging his bottom lip out. “I knew that big mouth of yours would have a good use one day.”

“Bitch.” Roy bit down. 

“Why you son of a!” she hissed.

“What? Little ol’ me with the big mouth?

“If you don’t get your ass up here,” she snarled, sitting up and leaning forward enough that she could brush her lips against his, tempting him with a kiss just out of reach, “so help me…”

Roy eagerly obeyed and not particularly in the mood to mince words, Kylie pushed him down into the bed and straddled his back effortlessly in one swift motion. 

“Knew those redneck Olympics would have a good use one day.” 

“No more talking,” Kylie ordered into his ear, pinning him down with her body weight. 

“Yes, ma’am.” If it wasn’t so cute the way he said it so earnestly she might’ve corrected him again.

She started at his shoulders, digging her thumbs into the sore muscles as her hips subtly rolled down onto him, mimicking the way he pleased himself before she stopped him. 

Her hands moved lower, exploring the taught muscles flexing under her nails. Kneading his ass through his briefs till he tried to reach a hand into his underwear.

“Now you’re just being a cunt,” Roy huffed when she slapped it away. 

She wanted to be generous and let him get off, sure, but not before she could have at least a little bit of fun with him as payback.

“Uh uh,” Kylie tutted. “I’m being a lady, and I’ll take my sweet time if I feel like it.”

Roy dropped his head into the pillow clutched between his fists, a deep annoyed sigh making its way through the fabric. 

“What was that?” she asked, tongue in cheek, but he simply repeated the sigh, louder this time. 

Kylie could tell by the tight black shirts he wore so often on stage in his Instagram reels that Roy, at the very least, kept an eye on his physique after top surgery.

She’d never seen him this naked or this up close, obviously, but she had to admit; she agreed with Roy on his stance about not doing this sooner. 

He’d always been pretty thin but lately his shoulders and back had filled out quite noticeably while his waist and hips stayed as petite as ever, maybe even some new definition in his faint abs if anything.

His tight little ass, however—in his skimpy shorts, she knew it would be irresistible, imagining it as a cute little bubble butt just enough for a fist full each.

Curiosity was getting the better of her and Roy’s sighs had turned to muffled moans by now. She slid off of him and hooked her fingers into his waistband, ready to whip off his underwear in one go till she remembered he had his packer in. 

“Can I take this off too?” Kylie gave his underwear’s waistband a little tug, revealing a faint hint of a tan line above his ass crack. She bit her lip, trying to hide how enticing this little detail was to her.

“Yes! For the love of God!” 

“Just checking,” she lilted innocently, smiling at his impatience. She yanked off his underwear. “Oh!”

“What?” Roy shot up onto his elbows, looking over his shoulder with panic in his eyes.

“I just knew you’d have the cutest little fanny!” Kylie squealed in delight, grabbing a perfect fistful, just as she anticipated, of each cheek, earning an eye roll from Roy. 

At this angle on all fours, ass up with his cheeks and legs spread open, she could see just how practically dripping wet he was. 

“Poor honey bun,” she fawned over him, nails running up and down his sticky inner thighs. “You really are such a mess, huh.”

Roy bit into the pillow, refusing to give her the satisfaction she was looking for, but his legs bending to get closer to her fingers said more than any words ever could. 

Kylie finally showed some compassion and gave his slit a drawn-out lick, all the way from his dick to his hole.

Roy surprised them both when he let out a loud high pitched whimper, quickly throwing his hand over his face, “Oh my god, I am SO sorry.”

“What was that?” Kylie laughed loudly, she leaned on her side to get a good look at where he was hiding his face in the pillow again.

“I don’t know!” Roy admitted, joining in on the laughter. “Nobody’s tongue’s been that far back in a while! I guess it-it took me by surprise maybe?”

“That’s okay, sugar,” she teased in a low voice against his skin, already hovering over the same spot, ready and waiting. “Do you want me to do it again?” 

“Fuck…please,” Roy sighed pushing his hips back against her tongue. 

He reached for his dick again, jerking himself off in the same rhythm Kylie’s tongue had set for them. Desperation palpable with every stroke or every time he’d bounce back against her. 

Maybe if Roy’s muffled groans weren’t so distracting, either one of them would have heard the front door of her apartment opening.

“Hey, Kylie! Have you seen my blue work shirt?” her roommate shouted, clearly shuffling through the apartment. “I need to switch clothes, but I can’t find it-” 

“Fuck!” Kylie jumped off the bed, already throwing on a robe that was sitting on top of a hamper pile nearby. 

“What is she doing here?”

“I’m sorry, I don’t know, but I’ll be right back,” she whispered, quickly wiping her mouth off with Roy’s discarded crop top. 

“Hey, that’s—whatever.” He gave up the fight about his shirt being a makeshift cumrag before he could even start. 

While she was dealing with that mess, Roy figured he’d make himself at home. He rolled himself over onto his back and tried to get comfortable, but his erection was by now downright painful.

Just to ease some tension his fingers, lazily slid up and down around his growth till he found a rhythm he liked. Four loud buzzes from his phone on the floor pulled him back to the present. He reached down to pull it from the pocket of his shorts.

Shane J:

Hey

Shane J:

What are you up to?

“Ah fuck,” he sighed. He forgot to say goodbye to Shane before he left and now, clearly bored and/or drunk, he needed some company.

Shane J:

I need you to come over 

Shane J:

I’ve got something to show you

He bit his freshly painted nails, debating what he should do or if he should say something since this situation, as fun as it was, seemed to be over. 

“She’s gone.” 

Maybe not. 

Kylie finally came back in before Roy had time to open the messages, her untied robe already on the floor, ready to get straight to business again. 

“Great.” Roy shoved the phone behind him like a child who’d been caught with it after bedtime. 

“Now,” Kylie purred, climbing over the bed towards him, a huntress on the prowl. She spread his thighs open, threw her left leg over his and with a little repositioning managed to get them pressed together at just the right angle. “Where were we?”

The pressure of her body weight resting on his dick was electrifying, making his hips inadvertently thrust up against her. Finally, he could let go of that breath he’d been holding in.

“That good, baby?” she asked, leaning down to suck on his bottom lip, their hips grinding together in unison.

“I want to fuck you,” Roy whispered into her mouth, his voice practically hoarse with want. 

“Then put it in.” Kylie stilled her hips and leaned back, pulling him with her till their positions were switched. Now with Roy on top and in control. 

His eyes flicked between hers trying to work out what she was planning.

“What?” She slipped her fingers into her mouth, pulling them back out with a thick trail of spit. “Do you need a map?”

She took his dick between the top of her slippery index and middle finger, guiding it just a little lower towards her entrance, and he gasped at the contact. 

“Fu-uck.” His eyes fluttered closed as she pushed his dick into her. He had to pace his breathing to avoid coming right then and there.

It wasn’t particularly deep, but god what he could manage inside felt fan-fucking-tastic. She was tight and wet and absolutely stunning. Especially when she grabbed his ass and wrapped her legs around his waist, holding him tightly while pushing up against his thrusts. 

“You never tried this?” she asked softly, her fingers dancing along his well-sculpted chest and around his scarred nipples. 

“Not exactly…” he admitted, looking down between them, slightly embarrassed for not thinking of it sooner. “But better late than never right?”

“Uh-huh,” she nodded, progressively struggling to form words as he fucked her harder, needier.  

He could feel the pressure in his stomach building, the possibility of finally getting to come so close, but seeing her fall apart like this a second time was too tempting to pass up. Almost worth edging himself one last time.

His thumb was already rubbing her clit in quick figure eights again in the same way she responded to so well last time, earning louder and more full-throated moans as opposed to her cute little whimpers.

“Oh fuck…” Kylie gasped, throwing her head back onto the bed, her legs trembling as she clung to him for dear life.  “Don’t stop…don’t stop…”

He could feel her tensing from deep in her core, every pulse, every flex around his growth pushing him further into oblivion. Unable to process any coherent thoughts. His hips frantically jerked into her even after her limbs went liquid.

“Keep going,” Kylie whispered, her nails deep into Roy’s ass. 

“Fuck I’m gonna come!” he growled, gritting his teeth, steadying himself on her shoulders. “Are you-“

“Keep going…” she repeated.

“I’m gonna…I-”  He finally came. Unabashedly moaning out any last praises in her name as his whole body ignited, like a high he hadn’t felt before and he wasn’t sure if he could come down from. 

His head full of lights and tingling, his body overheated and overstimulated but he knew he needed more, he needed to come again and fast.

“A little more left in you, Sugar?” Kylie asked sweetly, wiping some sweat from his brow. 

“Yeah,” he panted, desperately fumbling, struggling to find the right spot he had inside her again after he accidentally slipped out. “I just need to, shit, get this right.”

“Do you need help?”

“Fuck this.” 

“C’mere, it’ll be easier,” Roy quickly scooted up to hover over her chest where Kylie waited, resting on her elbows so she’d be the perfect height.

“Jesus…Christ.” He let out another shocked high pitched whimper when her tongue circled his dick. He grabbed her head on either side, guiding it where he wanted her to suck a little harder instead. 

“Don’t bother being gentle,” she purred against him, sending delicious shivers straight through his whole body, fogging up his already oxygen deprived mind even more.

“God, where have you been hiding all my life?” he joked in an effort to regain some control, fucking her face till he turned to jelly.

Legs weak, oversensitive and spent, he finally fell back, laying down opposite her; the both of them giggling at the absurdity of the night’s events that lead them here and the scattered bites and bruises they each showed for it. 

“Boy, that was a blast wasn’t it?” Kylie was the first to speak, again, patting Roy’s sweat-drenched thigh.

“Fuck,” was all he managed, still a chuckle in his voice. “We should do that again sometime.”

“Yeah, some time…” she lulled, feeling around the bed for where her phone had dropped when they walked in earlier. “I mean, it’s only about midnight now, what time do you have to leave?”

“Seriously?” Roy shot up like an overzealous meerkat, looking at her in disbelief. 

“Well?” She shrugged, hooking a leg over his so they were in a perfect scissor position again. “Might need a minute to catch my breath, but you tell me,” she teased, scooting her hips closer so they were touching again.

Both holding onto the other’s hips, they happily melted together again, laying back down to lazily enjoy another round as Roy sighed, “God, I love pride.”

personal post!

hey hi I’m alive sorry for abandoning my blog for like 1.5 yrs??? I had a bunch of health issues and mental health stuff too :’) 

Like very full on... god what HASN’T happened. 

My body had a weird reaction to the covid vaccines in 2021? I ended up in hospital etc and was sick with mystery fatigue and shit for months and months.... I think I went to hospital like 4-5 throughout 2021? My body seems fine with the MRNA boosters I’ve gotten so maybe something in my body just hated the astrazeneca vaccine?? I’m kinda bitter about it bc of the ambulance bills I had to pay, but still, thank god for vaccines amirite

then, the apartment I was living in and loved got bought by someone who then wanted to move in, so I had to leave the place I loved living to somewhere still nice but way more expenno, and my health issues kinda continued?

then I started a new job

then my mental health got REALLY bad over the 2021/2022 christmas period to the point where I had to call an ambulance for myself bc my mind was in such a bad place. 

Then I started taking SSRI’s for depression/anxiety, but I had this weird reaction to the drugs and we think I had serotonin syndrome because of its interaction with the asthma meds I’ve been taking all my life? But at the time no doctors would listen to me and basically gaslit me into thinking all the pain was just a physical manifestation of my anxiety. Anyway, it caused some of the most horrific pain i’ve ever experienced in my life, in particular nerve and muscle pain in my legs, and I had to shower sitting down for weeks, couldn’t walk much around the house, and needed super strong meds to knock me out so I could sleep. 

I slowly healed and could walk again and do normal stuff for me around... late April?

While I was recovering I stayed with my mum but still paying rent in Sydney bc all my shit was there, so in June I killed my lease, put most of my shit into storage with a friend’s parent’s mini warehouse they use for their business (absolute legends and wholesome humans and I sent them money every month lol) and moved back home.

I started studying a certificate level course I’d been wanting to get over and done with for ages, so at the end of June I started studying.

Then once again mental health got bad, I tried SSRIs again, thinking it was me who was the problem last time I took them. BUT ACTUALLY, NO. Same physical reaction to the meds as last time, if not worse. It wasn’t my brain making shit up, it was an actual fucking drug interaction issue that ppl had tried to tell me was my anxiety and/or imagination!!! Queue horrific pain, weird symptoms, and once again the inability to walk or clean or work from anywhere but the couch.

Dr and I decided any meds that effect my serotonin levels are a no-go probably forever, and so I’ve been looking into CBD oil over the past few months to see if that will work for things instead.

Now I’m about... 2 months from that reaction, and started CBD oil 2 weeks ago (no reaction, side effects, or really anything yet) and can work at my desk as long as I have a big ass XL foot rest under my legs to keep them propped up, because I get nerve pain if I sit normally :’) I still can’t really go anywhere or walk anywhere other than around the house and for super short periods of time.

Also I powered through and finished my course just last week, so that’s out of the way at least! 

Other than that, I’ve just been like. Sleeping, reading, watching shows, napping, sleeping more, trying to eat well.... my job is a bitch but I’m trying rly hard to skill up so I can do more of what I’m interested in! I kind of don’t have energy for much else at the moment??

I have no idea if I’ll post again as regularly as I did a few years back, but I love Tumblr and I always feel glad coming back here and spending time in this place for a bit. These days I mainly only post stuff on my locked private twitter lol. But I have always preferred Tumblr’s longer format and vibes hehe.

ANyway that’s all for now! I hope anyone reading this has been doing ok. These past few years have been fucking tough and if all you have energy for is working and sleeping... you’re valid, dude. 

And if you plan to take SSRIs for your mental health, just be wary of serotonin syndrome!!!! Not enough ppl talk about it and a lot of doctors seem to have no idea it exists or also know little about it, but there are lots of cases of it in settings where ppl have been taking other meds and been given SSRIs! I’m not saying don’t take meds if you need them, but just reaaaallllyyy do your research first if you can about adverse reactions and interactions :’)

[joliebean]

check in tag ✌🏻

I was tagged by @simlishaccent thanks luv 💕

why did you choose your url?

I studied French in my uni. Jolie is pretty in French. I added ‘bean’ to make it sound cuter. Yeah, I thought I was so innovative when I came up with my username.

how long have you been on tumblr?

In July it will be 7 years. Also I had a personal blog before that, I think I’ve learnt about tumblr in 2012 during my ~Dragon Age~ phase.

do you have a queue tag?

I do, but I barely use it.

why did you start your blog in the first place?

At first I was just lurking around and looking for CC. 🙈 This blog was planned to be just an archive with reblogged CC posts. Then I wanted to share the interior shots I’ve made so others could see it too. At some point I decided to do a CAS challenge, it was fun and it helped me to gain my first followers and to meet new friends. I still have some sims I’ve made for that challenge saved in my Library.

why did you choose your profile picture/icon?

It’s one of my models. I rotate my models on my profile pics from time to time.

why did you choose your header?

I really need to change it but I’m so lazy and have no idea what I want there. I like the gif I’ve made with falling snow. It’s serene and beautiful.

what’s your post with the most notes?

I’m not surprised. I have an updated version of this dress, check it out.

how many mutuals do you have?

133 if I counted it right.

how many followers do you have?

33160 gorgeous gorgeous angels 💗

how many people do you follow?

191 beautiful people 🔥

have you ever made a shit post?

...once or twice 👀

how often do you use tumblr each day?

I open it a few times per week to check my notes and messages to see if there is anything I need to respond to and also to check the new posts on my dash. 💗

did you have a fight/argument with another blog once? who won?

I try to avoid drama at all cost, life is too short to spend it on online arguments. However, sometimes you can not escape it. I wasn’t proud of myself when I let my emotions take over. There cannot be a ‘winner’ because such arguments only leave the taste of resentment and frustration for both persons afterwards.

how do you feel about ‘you need to reblog this’ posts?

It depends on a post. I don’t want to clutter my blog with non-sims stuff too much since it’s my escape from reality and safe space. I reblog more different stuff on twitter tho.

do you like tag games?

Not really my cup of tea 🤭 Sometimes when I’m in the mood I play them if I don’t forget I was tagged.

do you like ask games?

Same as the previous question.

which of your mutuals do you think is tumblr famous?

Is it even a thing? It’s 2022 not 2012. 😔✌

do you have a crush on a mutual?

I want @ice-creamforbreakfast to be my sugar mommy. 💔

𝐣𝐮𝐝𝐞 𝐝𝐞𝐦𝐩𝐬𝐞𝐲 ;  ʙᴏᴍʙꜱʜᴇʟʟ ʙᴇᴀᴄʜ ʜᴜᴛ ᴘʀᴏᴍᴘᴛ !

how are you feeling about entering the villa?

  “ i’m buzzing, me. it’s absolutely mint to be fair. look at that weather !   fackin ell, you don’t get that in manny on the map, i’ll tell you that for free. ”

who are you most interested in getting to know and why?

      “ for me to know and you to find out, haha. nah, it’s actually so hard to say because everyone’s so fit. i do fancy romi, but i feel like they’re proper into marcus, and they’re mad popular on twitter. but then again, she fucked maddox in broad daylight so maybe i have a shot. naomi’s a spice, i won’t lie, but she also knows she’s a spice and has all these lads queueing up to lick her bumhole and i don’t wanna do that. her ego’s phat enough already. jenny’s proper fit. she’s not been given the best light in here, but i reckon she wants something actually real, and like, her heart’s in the right place, you know ?  plus, she looks bendy as fuck so i reckon we’d have a good time together. basically everyone haha. ”

which couples seem the most solid to you? least solid?

    “ thing is, mate, no one’s actually solid ?  marcus and romi are basically in the bin after she fucked maddox. personally, i reckon they’ll end up married with babies, but right now they are shaky as, man. naomi and dylan might seem solid, but they could definitely be prized apart i reckon, and i’m not afraid to step on toes. callie and frankie did that whole u-haul shit and are basically married off, but hands down frankie will fuck someone in casa and cry about it, i’m calling it. that girl does not want to be tamed. i actually think jenny and josh might be the most solid, which is a fuckin’ laugh. guess we’ll see about that. ”

what people do you see yourself getting along with? 

  “ seb is a fun time, so maybe i’ll get along with him. romi, i reckon, whether things end up spicing up or not — they’re cool, we’ve got like, fuck loads in common, so i can’t see why we wouldn’t get along. i think i could get along with dylan and callie provided i’m not an arse. marcus seems like my kinda guy. could probably teach him some breakdance for when he gets up on stage, though i reckon he’s more of a zayn than a harry. ”

what people do you see yourself not getting along with?

  “ maddox. public school prick and massive tory wanker, need i say more ?  josh probably won’t like me since i’m tryna cop a feel of his bird. maybe rhys, too, he seems pretentious and i don’t care for that. we get it, you’ve read shakespeare. so have i and you don’t see me screaming about it. pipe down. ”

casa amor is a unique time to enter love island. what do you hope to get out of the experience?

 “ mate, i’m here for the memories, innit — get me on that jet2 holiday ting !  nah, i’m messing. i actually think it will be so cool though to see it from like, a filming perspective. like how a show like this operates. i have a mate from the big old landan town who’s reyt successful now cos he got a job on snog, marry, avoid. am i allowed to talk about snog, marry, avoid on here ? no ? okay, well cut that, then. i think it’ll just be a good experience. i actually had like, a pretty shit time recently with a girl i was mad keen on and since then dating’s felt a bit of a minefield, so it’s a good opportunity to speed-date and test the water, see if there’s a spark. would be nice to get back to the villa in one piece  — that’s probably my main goal. ”

[my-pleasant-good-morning]

May I request A, J, N, T, and Y for that fandom ask? If that's too many please just pick 1 or 2 from these letters.

A - Your current OTP(s)/OT3(s)/OTX(s)?

Oh man. Lets go by fandom. This is going to be a long post from the shipping alone.

Warcraft: Renathal/The Maw Walker. Most of all MY Maw Walker Gadreel. They are just so in love. Like Morticia and Gomez Addams levels of into each other.

And I'm so happy for my DH about that. He needed someone who loves him back like he loves when he really falls.

But I also like other Maw Walkers with Ren. He so clearly liked the PC, you know?

Ok next. The Magnus Archives: LonelyEyes, give me the evli old men who have been divorced at least 5 times.

I also ship The Magnus Harem. Jonah had a club of intellectual men that all wanted him bad. And I want to read about it.

SCP: Yes I am one of those uncouth people who dares to ship in this fandom. But if you follow my blog you may have already known that.

I ship Grand Karcist Ion's polycule. Saying it that way is much faster than listing them. Meat jesus and his lovers. At the moment I have a craving to see him and Orok together in something. The best would be if that something was NSFW. But all I have is some art that is like "they sure are standing together". Small sub-fandoms make me wish I could draw people worth a shit. Or had the money to pay people.

J - Name a fandom you didn’t care/think about until you saw it all over tumblr

FNAF. And then it went in the "I should look into that some time" queue. And then months later I was board on the youTubes and there it was. A FNAF vid. And now I know for damn sure I am in fact a furry.

N - Name three things you wish you saw more or in your main fandom (or a fandom of choice)

Porn. I miss being able to find the porn I want. Twitter is a minefield and I take my wellbeing in hand if I go there. Reddit is full of het guys so want to stick big tits on things that have no tits at all. That is all fine I guess but it's not what I want. And if I have to see Mal0 nude again I will scream.

I want what tumblr had in the old days.

Oh that says three. My answer remains the same but I shall say it as Dick, Balls and Ass.

T - Do you have any hard and fast headcanons that you will die defending, about anything at all (gender identity, sexual or romantic orientation, extended family, sexual preferences like top/bottom/switch, relationship with poetry, seriously anything)

Way too many. I would like to say that no headcanon is worth dyeing over. I would like to. But I am not a reasonable person at times and nothing fucks my brain up more than someone telling me I'm bad for liking something. And I'm a perv when it comes to fiction. The anits want my head on a platter. They just don't know it because I don't talk about it if I can't add anything of value. I just lurk.

Y - What are your secondhand fandoms (fandoms you aren’t in personally but are tangentially familiar with because your friends/people on your dash are in them)

Ace Attorneys. I know there are others but I can't remember names at the moment.

[inevitably-johnlocked]

Hi Steph!

I’m sorry it’s my first time sending you an ask, so I dunno which button I clicked man. Sorry about that.

Ok, so what I wanted to request! I love your blog. You’re really kind and genuine, and I’ve found some great fics to light up my day from here. But sometimes, the posts are suuupppeeerr long, and I may not be looking for this info exactly? Like it clogs up a lot of my dash. So I wanted to request if you could use a “read more” feature after a brief, at least for the fic rec posts.

I hope I didn’t offend or anything. Thank u for all the kindness you put into the world each day. Have a good day fren!

Hey Nonny!

Ahh, okay, you’re not going to like what I am going to say, but you are very respectful and were smart and sandwiched your issue in compliments, so Ahhhh, I feel conflicted now.

With all due respect Nonny, this is my blog and I get more engagement on my lists if people can see the full list; many people prefer it that way, and honestly I get crapped on either way, so I’ve made the executive decision to not cut my posts. The only time I do is on “second” reblog on super long LONG lists so that I have a “cut” and “uncut” version of the post, but even those I’ve been reducing. 

I’ve tried both ways, and full posts get better notice. All I want to do is share my love of fics and content with y’all, and the best way to do that is to just have it all there so people know what they’re getting. 

Plus, am I to just “readmore” every single reply on my posts? A lot of the reason my blog has stayed as long as it has is because I’ve always been a very interactive blog. People LIKE seeing their replies added to a comment thread on my post, and it helps smaller blogs get noticed. It’s not much on the surface, but I’ve had smaller blogs come to me DELIGHTED that their name is now attached to one of my posts that are going through a “popular reblog cycle” (that is, a post that is being interacted with for a good few days before I actually finally add it to the month-reblog queue). It helps create a sense of community, I feel, and that’s one of the things I am very honoured to be: a starting place for community.

And this is just in a general sense and NOT directed at you, more at the people who shit on me in the notes of my long posts, but I don’t GET people getting upset about my TEXT BASED POST WITH NO IMAGES IN IT, but not on any of the image or playlist posts I reblog, which take FOREVER to load on mobile. I GENUINELY don’t get it. I don’t even use the app on my phone, I’m logged into the browser on my phone, because the app is garbage. 

The problem is the app, in my opinion. That’s the gist of it. It loads slow, it scrolls terribly, and the UI is annoying, but instead app users blame the bloggers and not the fact that Tumblr staff ignore every suggestion we make. And because more of the newer people use their mobiles these days, us old-time Tumblr users are expected to microblog like the shitty sites that are Twitter or Facebook. Tumblr is a blogging platform, like LiveJournal, laid out all nicely and clean and honestly, (the royal you) you’re getting exactly what you signed up for: long posts, opinions, and interaction. If one wants shitty layouts, shitty comment threads you can’t follow and reactionaries, go to Twitter. Call me a boomer, whatever, I just find Tumblr so much more appealing now more than ever. 

Sorry, I’ve needed to get this off my chest for awhile now. I don’t know. Maybe I’m being pedantic. I don’t care, really. My thoughts on this: if (the royal) you don’t like the content, or find stuff annoying, don’t follow me.

Because you know what a lot of my longest posts are? Helpline numbers at the bottom of posts. Useful links. And just stuff that make people happy. People in despair are not going to click on a read more of a post. People who want links to resources aren’t going to click on a read more. People who just want happiness after a stressful day are literally just scrolling to smile, and they ain’t gonna click a read more.

YES, there are reasons read mores are good, absolutely. I just PERSONALLY don’t like them because I like engagement. I don’t get much of it anymore on my posts, EXCEPT the fic rec posts, and THOSE work better as a full view.

BUT NONNY PLEASE KNOW I AM NOT UPSET AT ALL WITH YOU, and you’ve given me a great opportunity to discuss this thing that I’ve put off for awhile because the other people were less-than-kind, and it only made me NOT address it out of simple spite because I’m nothing if not a passive aggressive old lady. 

So, here are a few ideas you can implement:

If you like my posts but not the longest ones, I always tag them “long post”. Tumblr finally has its own tag blocking feature, so just block “long post”. All of my very long lists will be blocked, and you can decide if you want to click on them based on what the additional tags are. I try my best to tag all my lists appropriately.

Similarly, you can “tag block” my username, and only click on the posts you like the tags for.

DON’T TAKE THIS THE WRONG WAY, PLEASE, this isn’t a “so there!” comment, I promise!!: You can unfollow me if you’re only following me for the fic lists, and instead follow me on Twitter at @inevitablyjohn1, which is used only to promote my new lists and art. Every Wednesday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday I post up the Wednesday Reblog, Five Fics Friday, Fic Rec Roundup, and Fic Rec Sunday, with a link to each post :) Then you’ll get all the lovely full lists I post 4 times a week. OF COURSE, this is the option I don’t want to happen, because I love all my lovelies and you’ll miss out on the random fics, insightful asks, and suggestions I get throughout the week, BUT I want you to enjoy your time on Tumblr, and if my blog is causing you stress, it’s the last thing I want to happen. I love all of y’all too much to see that!

THAT ALL SAID, Nonny, I’m really sorry to disappoint you, and I hope you understand my POV on this. I just don’t see any benefit on my part, for MY blog, which I run for MY happiness which has the side effect of making other people happy. I also hope you will still stick around regardless, but I care about your well being and I understand if you have to leave.

AND everyone, please don’t be harsh on this Nonny! They asked a question respectfully and deserve our respect in kind.

I truly wish you the loveliest of days, Nonny, and have a great week! <3

4. do you have a queue tag?

i have four

q: cinnamonwon spam for when i rb from my sideblog, q: artzy is a lil shit for when i was being a lil bitch (proud) and making sure everyone on the dash saw joy’s fever!hee set, q: u underestimated my reblogging power for if someone underestimates the power of my reblogging and q: spam for my frens if my friends need recognition for their content!

5. why did you start your blog in the first place?

i started it for i-land because i felt more comfortable joining tumblr as opposed to twitter or smth

6. why did you choose your icon/pfp?

it’s nishimura riki how could i not?

7. why did you choose your header?

i don’t have a header

i dislike them, and i’m gonna be reblogging them less like the ones that say “if you don’t reblog this you’re a terrible person” and the superstitious ones like “reblog this or else you’ll be cursed with bad luck forever.” some of those posts can make users anxious, and if i do reblog a superstitious post, i’ll tag it “superstitious rb” (i keep mispelling it im sorry)

[squirrelstothenuts]

Tagged by @senjo thank you! A little late but things go wrong, shit happens, life goes on I guess

Why did you choose your url? It’s actually a quote from the movie “Cluny Brown” directed by Ernst Lubitsch from 1946 about a rather unconventional girl who refuses to understand what her “place” in society is. Basically it just means: do what you want if it makes you happy - who cares if everybody else thinks you’re nuts.

Ninotchka, To Be or Not to Be, Design for Living, The Shop Around the Corner... You can't go wrong with any of his movies especially his Hollywood career. Probably my favorite directors with Wilder, Kurosawa, Capra, Ford, Mankiewicz, Howard Hawks, Keaton...

The full quote courtesy of IMDB : Nobody can tell you where your place is. Where is my place? Where is everybody's place? I'll tell you where it is. Wherever you're happy - that's your place. And happiness is a matter of purely personal adjustment to your environment. You're the sole judge. In Hyde Park, for instance, some people like to feed nuts to the squirrels. But if it makes you happy to feed squirrels to the nuts, who am I to say, "nuts to the squirrels?"

Any side blogs? none. only have a squirrelstothenutstest url on private for theming purposes.

How long have you been on tumblr? Since 2012 but was private and didn’t post anything until 2017. I was only browsing classic movies back then on tumblr (silent, western, screwball, film noir, musicals...)

Do you have a queue tag? No but it’s super rare when I don’t queued/scheduled a post.

Why did you start your blog in the first place? It’s not obvious but my original intent behind this blog was to scan and share some photos (Gene Tierney, Toshiro Mifune, Bogart, Cagney, Crawford, Bergman, Harold Lloyd…) from my collection… but scanner died.

And now it’s just for sharing some cool cuts/moments in animation. Still waiting for Tumblr to implement real native webp, gif is an old format from another time. It’s so superior: a 9mo gif is equivalent to a 3mo webp (and without grain).

Why did you choose your icon? Because In This Corner of the World had me in tears when I saw it in theater. I was crying for half of it (the second half).

Why did you choose your header? in the desktop version of my theme, nothing. On mobile, it’s the JJK ending with Haikyuu’s characters. I’m a sucker for dancing sequences in animation.

What’s your post with the most notes? not sure... maybe this blade runner’s gif (when the size limit was 3mo^^)

How many followers do you have? π 

How many people do you follow? 616

Have you ever made a shitpost? probably not

How often do you use Tumblr? everyday but not on my dash anymore, I’m using a rss aggregator (feedly) it’s easier to not miss a post that way and you don’t have to deal with ads on mobile. The internet would be useless without rss for me.

Did you have a fight/argument with a blog once? nope, i got twitter for dunking on right wing people lol

How do you feel about “you need to reblog this post”? I'm the kind of the person who tends to compartmentalize my use of social media... so I mostly ignore it on tumblr.

Do you like tag games? Do you like ask games? yes, there’s some ask game about music I would like to do but I’m too anxious that no one would pitch it back to me^^

Which of your mutuals do you think is tumblr famous? we’re on tumblr, everyone is a misfit right here, being tumblr famous is useless

Do you have a crush on a mutual? come on, we’re adults.

Tagging (it’s up to you, you don’t have to if you want): @spaceghosting @nuzell07 @halfpints @kabochapie @flowerymoments @mysterymellie @1gm @mangacapsaicin @silvadour

[aroacebunny]

@sadntiredsockplushie thank you for the tag!! 💕

why did you choose your url?

i wanted “acesomething” so i just wrote wakko to see if it was available, and it was!

any side blogs? if you have them, name them and why you have them

one but i don’t use it anymore and for some reason i can’t delete it. it’s ed related so i rather not say the url

how long have you been on tumblr? 

i was on tumblr from 2014 to 2018(?) but deleted that account, then came back in 2019 until now

do you have a queue tag?

nope, unless i’m going to be away with no internet

why did you start your blog in the first place?

originally because i was a teen in 2014 so ofc i had one skfjdkd but recenlty, because twitter gave me burnout and i found tumblr to be a kinder place for the content i was looking for

why did you choose your icon/pfp? 

olruggio is my beloved <3 unsure if i want to be with him or to look like him OR be him and the art for this manga is super pretty

why did you choose your header?

purely because it matched the purple vibes of the theme, i honestly don’t like it (shitty screenshot quality) but idk what i would change it for

what’s your post with the most notes?

it’s a sk8 meme, it’s a screenshot of that community line where britta says “i can excuse racism but i draw the line at animal abuse” but i changed it to “i can excuse abuse but i draw the line at misgendering”

how many followers do you have? 

134 (most of them are bots or inactive tho)

how many people do you follow? 

453 (again, most of them are inactive lol)

have you made a shitpost? 

i’m unsure as to what defines a shitpost exactly but very likely yes lmao

how do you feel about ‘you need to reblog this’ post? 

i hate it quite a lot. it’s up to each person to decide what to reblog, sometimes posts like that might trigger people who have a close connection to the themes mentioned and they want to avoid it, some other times they just don’t wanna reblog. but you shouldn’t force anybody to reblog something (it’s the “well now i don’t wanna” effect)

do you like tag games? 

i don’t mind them, i think they’re quite fun! my only issue is that i use tumblr exclusively on my phone so i have to go back and forth on copying the questions dksjfks

do you like ask games? 

i do, but i rarely reblog those because nobody asks dksjfks

which of your mutuals do you think is tumblr famous? 

@nblaunchpad being a whole ass celebrity over here, keeping me on check so i don’t post dumb shit because i’m like “what if they see it” skfjdkd

do you have a crush on a mutual? 

nope! but they are all my beloved <3

i’m too lazy to tag anyone but pls go ahead if you wanna! and have a nice day!

[distortingbones]

i was tagged by @hotdrinks (ty)!!

1- why did you choose your URL?

"distorting bones" = two-for-one special referencing both the distortion & the not!them (when their body gets all freaky in the tunnels). because they're both very compelling monsters and i like them!

2- Any side blogs?

nope! i'm too lazy to curate multiple blogs

3- How long have you been on Tumblr?

either 10 years or 1 year depending on how you count 🤪 i first joined in 2011 but i left in 2016 when ace discourse was getting really bad. then made this blog in 2020 so as to better archive the magnus

4- Do you have a queue tag?

too lazy for queuing... if my followers don't like me reblogging 10 pictures of jonmartin kissing in a row then that's their problem not mine

5- Why did you start your blog in the first place?

oops i answered this in 3! but basically me and my bestie both got really into tma a couple months before quarantine hit. they kept sending me tumblr links to tma fan content so i eventually decided to cut out the middleman! and maybe also post some of my own fanart (once in a blue moon - most of it stays in my sketchbook because i intend to color it and then. forget.)

6- Why did you choose your icon/pfp?

i just think she's neat (annabelle cane)

7- Why did you choose your header?

don't have one

8- What’s your post with the most notes?

hmm i think the tma meta post where i talk abt gertrude & gerry & eric. i don't post original content too often so i don't get a ton of notes, which is honestly how i prefer it - i've gone viral on twitter a few times and it sucked so bad

9- How many mutuals do you have?

at least one

10- How many followers do you have?

111

11-How many people do you follow?

only 41! i like being able to keep up with my dash (also prevents me from sinking TOO much time into scrolling)

12- Have you ever made a shit post?

all of my posts are deadly serious. obviously.

13- How often do you use Tumblr each day?

like 1-2 hours total spread throughout the day (i have a 90 minute time limit for tumblr on my phone but i ignore it a lot lol)

14- Did you have a fight/argument with another blog once?

not on this blog! internet arguments stress me out and are rarely productive so i just. don't do that. unless someone brings the fight to me - which never happens here because i don't have a popular blog ✌️peace and love on planet earth

15- How do you feel about “you need to reblog this” posts?

actually op you'll find that i do not need to do that at all. here i'll prove it

16- Do you like tag games?

sure! it makes me feel included :)

17- Do you like ask games?

yeah once in a while!

18- Which of your mutuals do you think is Tumblr famous?

idk what counts as "tumblr famous" but i think @crit20lesbian and @hotdrinks are both so cool and talented :)

19- Do you have a crush on a mutual?

nope! got some mutuals i would like to befriend tho :)

uhhh i'll tag @marionberry-jam @gentlemancrow @crit20lesbian @v0idsign !! no pressure ofc though

[shiningwonho]

check in tag!

tagged by @sangyus!

1. why did you choose your url?

for almost a year i had the url ‘joonshine’ but i kind of drifted from bts and wanted something related to got7 and my bias bambam. but i also didn’t wanna lose ‘the brand’ so to speak, so i merged it into bamshine lol

2. any side blogs? if you have them name them and why you have them.

just one! well, okay, one active one, anyway. i have a couple others that haven’t been updated in years, so I don’t really count them. the active one is @foggynightsandchristmaslights and well...i think the url gives it away lol. it’s an autumn/winter aesthetic blog. i’ve had it for several years and it’s doing quite well lol.

3. how long have you been on tumblr?

uuuuh. ten years, i think? too long lmfao.

4. do you have a queue tag?

no i don’t. tbh setting up a queue has always confused me a bit so i’ve never bothered making one.

5. why did you start your blog in the first place?

it was to keep up with info about a book series i liked, and to participate in the fandom lol. my how far we have come.

6. why did you choose your icon/pfp?

cause it’s wonho lol. he means a lot to me idk. he’s my ultimate bias for a reason.

7. why did you choose your header?

AJDLKFADFAS my header is ALSO wonho lmfao. but that changed recently. if you’d tagged me a couple weeks ago, it would have been a gif header of Youngjae (courtesy of kathia) from the studio choom Thursday performance. He was really cute in it, idk, it deserved to be my header and Kathia was amazing and made it for me.

8. what’s your post with the most notes?

IT’S DUMB I HATE IT. I MADE IT FOR A SPECIFIC FANDOM BUT DIDN’T SAY NAMES IN IT SO NOW IT’S ENDED UP AS A GENERAL FANDOM THING AND IT WON’T STOP!!!! It’s this motherfucker. I posted it like....7 goddamn years ago and STILL.

9. how many mutuals do you have?

I couldn’t tell you a number, but I have a bunch. obviously I have some that I interact with more than others, but they’re all amazing people.

10. how many followers do you have?

I’m at 1.2k right now. which is more than I ever expected to get lol.

11. how many people do you follow?

123! tho there’s probably a fair few inactive ones I could do to unfollow.

12. have you ever made a shitpost?

idk what exactly counts as a shit post but I made one about the Hyuna-Dawn situation as a shits and giggles thing and my god it got a lot of notes.

13. how often do you use tumblr each day?

too often lol

14. did you have a fight/argument with another blog once? who won?

no lol. i’ve had little spats on twitter but nothing major on here. 

15. how do you feel about ‘you need to reblog this’ posts?

yeah i ignore those. that’s not the way you’re gonna get me to reblog a post.

16. do you like tag games?

i do! i take a while to do them sometimes, but i do!

17. do you like ask games?

i love them!

18. which of your mutuals do you think is tumblr famous?

tons of them lol. idk how many followers they actually have, but yeah, they’re definitely ‘tumblr famous’

19. do you have a crush on a mutual?

i’ve got the mingyu to my hoshi @gyuseulogy and my wifey @tuantiddies which is way better tbh

[dee--eer]

Tagged by @kiwilisland!

1. Why did you choose your URL?

It's from my initial! My initial is DRK so I just take the first 2 letters, and then the first syllable of my name is pronounced like 'Dee' so I added a bunch of Es between them. I was gonna do just 'deeeer' but I don't really want to have a deer as my name so I added 2 dash between it hahah

2. Any side blogs?

Mmm, there's this one I used to have where I post random vent poem in my mother language but I delete it just a few months ago... I haven't posted there in years and it's a bit embarassing to read 😂

3. How long have you been on tumblr?

I made this account on 2015 but I've been lurking on the site since around 2012/2013 I think? I have this weird anxieties about making social media acc so it took me a while to finally create an account.

4. Do you have a queue tag?

I used to have one but I didn't use it nowadays, I just reblog a bunch of things when I'm online hahah.

5. What did you originally start this blog for?

I think I found out about tumblr because some of my favorite ao3 writers talk about it and I got curious... I ended up making an account once I saw that it has a lot of fandom contents. Apparently my very first reblog is a Shizaya gif so I guess that's the fandom that made me start this blog.

6. Why did you choose your icon/pfp?

Because it’s my son from my current 2nd biggest fandom :D

7. Why did you choose your header?

Because it’s my son from my current 1st biggest fandom :D Also because I like the blue tint, I love blue.

8. What’s your post with the most notes?

This one, apparently! It's a Yuri on Ice gifset comparing the dialogue from dub and sub. My top 3 posts with most notes are YOI post haha! That YOI fandom era was so good... I miss the vibe.

9. How many followers do you have?

I have 238 followers, a lots of them are probably either bots or inactive ahahah. I did get a few new followers this year, since I started actively using tumblr again last January!

10. How many blogs do you follow?

I'm following 163 blogs! Man I bet most of them are inactive now ajzjjaka

11. Have you ever made a shit post?

Oh, absolutely.

12. How often do you use tumblr every day?

More than I should be ahahah. I logged in whenever I had a chance these days. There's a time when I didn't use tumblr at all, for about 2 years I think? I'm mostly on insta and twitter those days because most of vld fandom are there. Now I switch to tumblr again because twitter starts to get too much haha.

13. Have you ever had a fight with another blog?

I don’t think so! My tumblr experience is mostly just me scrolling, liking, reblogging and moving on. That's what I like the most about tumblr, actually. You're not exactly required to socialize here and you can just vibe haha.

14. How do you feel about “you need to reblog this” posts?

Depend on the post. If I agree and think it's important, I will. If I don't, I scroll away :D

I reblog a lots of those 'reblog or cursed' thing tho they make me nervous ajzjjzzj I'm so sorrry

15. Opinion on tag games?

I love it, it's fun to do!

16. Opinion on ask games?

I love seeing others do it! I don't do it myself, but my ask is open so feel free to ask me anything :D

17. Which of your mutuals is more tumblr famous?

Huh, I don't really know? I didn't really pay attention ahah, I follow a lots of big artist and/or writer tho does that count?

18. Do you have a crush on any of your mutuals?

I don't think so, no!

Thank you for tagging me! Hmmm I guess I'll tag @cloverkaito @ueyyuey @rux363 @purenguyening and anyone who want to do it! Only if you guys want to of course! :D
