#idk tumblrs not about being popular

[sarosthewizarddude]

Other social media is like, oh no I wish more people followed me :(

And then Tumblr is like, *someone follows me* you have bad vibes fuck you blocked.

[hootiee]

"mephisto pheles could've been a tumblr sexy man if blue exorcist was popular" <- doesn't know

[mourn-and-watch]

idk guys but claiming that da2 is a fan favourite is like saying that anders has no haters. i mean yeah tumblr likes them but unfortunately it doesn't enlighten the masses outside of it

for the warriors ask game :D

🗺 : first map you ever watched?

🖼 : first amv/pmv you ever watched?

(I used to watch MAPs religiously those are my jam)

yay thank you! warriors ask game except the questions are all weird and niche as hell!

know: my memory is bad. i've been into wc for... well over a decade now, so these are probably not accurate xP my first warriors video was i believe a spoof video about ashfur and squirrelflight, but my first map and amv? uhhh unsure!

🗺 : first map you ever watched? - i didn't actively watch maps as a small kid, or at least i don't think i did? the first map that i entirely remember watching was during my second major warriors phase by the time i was closer to... 15 maybe?? as opposed to my earliest memories of wc which are from when i was 10 or younger lol. little fang, which is making me genuinely super misty eyed to rewatch, it's just so so good, from the style to the designs to how well it gets into jayfeather and his family with only animation and music, the composition of every part is so good, the designs, all of it. the sole reason little fang is one of my favorite songs to this day it might, miiight, have also been evelyn evelyn? that one was certainly one of the first maps i ever watched that stuck with me. the dovewing kinnie has entered chat

🖼 : first amv/pmv you ever watched? - i cannot remember. i watched sooo many amvs as a kid. not my FIRST amv, probably, but one of the earliest i recall is ashfur's revenge, which is delighting me so much to rewatch. this one was formative for me, i miss the style of flash-animated warriors amvs that (obviously:() aren't around anymore. i also have such a soft spot for tigerclaw is not one of thunderclan, one i was thinking about the Entire Time i was writing the exile scene in spottedfur's pride lol. i still love it so much, this is my first time rewatching it in like... a decade, im sure. its so good. im kind of blown away as i rewatch these that they ARE as good as they are, cuz i feel like it's common in the warriors fandom to treat old amvs as some cringeworthy lost art (in general i have strong opinions on how (unintentionally)cruel the internet starts being to things as soon as they enter "nostalgia" territory) - but there's still, like, genuine talent in these. there's a reason these amvs were as popular as they were, and not because we were all cringe 10 year olds who didn't know better, lol. also reminds me of tigerstar and the dog pack(be prepared) - which is one i have the most vivid memory of watching on my family computer, hehe. in general i love corvus katana's stuff, past and current oh my god i will never get this ask posted because i keep remembering ones that helped, like, form a lobe of my brain growing up. HOW TO SAVE BLUESTAR'S LIFE YOU WILL ALWAYS BE FAMOUS!!!! I AM TOTALLY NOT CRYING REWATCHING IT. YOU ARE. YOU ARE. cant believe i had a phase where i hated bluestar - i think everyone did because they spontaneously realized she was imperfect, immoral even at times, and made mistakes but hadn't developed the media comprehension to realize she was... actually meant to be complex and troubled and not just a perfect leader. god. bluestar. god. god. g (im also gonna use this question as a chance to gush about old amvs that i remember that are unfortunately lost to time: a hollyleaf one to hurricane by thirty seconds to mars (!!!! THIS ONE WAS SO FORMATIVE BUT IM LIKE 80% SURE ITS LOST MEDIA), bluestar heart heart head (PLEASE tell me im not the only one who remembers this one!!! i was devastated to learn it wasn't iconic or reuploaded anywhere (as much as i also think, again, in the nostalgia-sense, people act entitled to things like old amvs or people's art or whatever else)), NIGHTCLOUD GIRL WITH ONE EYE CHANGED MY LIFE?and... probably more of course that aren't coming to me now xP

i. didnt expect to ramble as much as i did with this? i just can't put into enough words how formative warriors amvs and the like were for me growing up :'DD they were my major start for digital art and animation (something i did a lot when i was younger but fell out of over time, but god i'd love to animate again, maybe do a classic wc amv to spottedfur's pride or something lol)

thank you for the question! I am so incredibly normal about warrior cats.

when does a group of fans turn into a fandom like whats the line. theres all these memes that are like oh football dudes are all participating in fandom or religion is basically fandom but like. we know that thats not quite right. when does being really into jeff rosenstock and joining a jeff rosenstock related facebook group turn into "im part of the jeffy roro fandom im a total rosenhead" (i refuse to say rosenstocker/stalker you'll catch me dead before calling myself that.)

is the turning point for band-based fan groups in particular when band members start getting shipped and fics written about them. i used to make jokes about shipping jeff with chris farren but i don't like... actually do that, i just enjoy their dynamic onstage as antarctigo vespucci and in their old LOST podcast. what the hell even is shipping does it HAVE to mean romantic? when shipping pertains to real people, does it have to mean "i literally believe that these two people either are together romantically or i believe they should be together romantically?" does any of this matter? who am i as a person beyond my interests?

some of you need to learn to be less personally offended by writers saying “canon is just the things that explicitly happen in the show/book/movie”

i think we as a society have progressed past the need for cynthia/abby. cynthia is that girl's MOTHER.

Twitter is. A horrible place I hate it there. If I open it for more than two minutes I get psychic damage and need to go lay down

[lillybean730]

honestly i do not have the energy to keep up with internet micro-dramas, at this point if you buy a checkmark im not exactly thrilled but who give a shit, if you buy that instead of donating to a person in need you were never going to donate to someone so there is no loss of money. like pirating, the media isn't losing money bc the pirates were never going to buy it

i think i remembered all the hype for that show, so when i watched it last year i remember being pissed off that i didnt like the show

I've been saying this for years now, but I think there's untapped potential in fiction about figure skating, specifically fantasy

I think the only time I've seen fantasy where figure skating played a significant role (or was even in it) is Barbie: Magic of the Pegasus
