#just wanted to leave with some grace

[89and91]

Just thought I’d leave a note — since I really haven’t elaborated on the breakup yet, but (and not that anybody cares about my 2 cents 😂) I think if what the dissolution of the relationship between Joe and Taylor “told us” is that it reiterated the old cliché that nobody truly knows what goes on behind closed doors. And with that same logic, we can’t possibly know what happened, and we probably will never know the full details. And that’s okay. Everyone will also have their own thoughts and opinions and thumbtack zigzaggy red threads to the bulletin board to try to solve it, and ya know what, that’s okay, too. I think everyone’s takes are valid (maybe not entirely fair) but valid in the sense that you can make arguments for many different narratives.

Anyway, this blog is always going to stay here. I’m one of the few people that actually knew about Joe before he dated Taylor (literally followed the Billy Lynn casting back in the day because I was curious about how the film would be) and I have also loved Taylor since like…2007. I still think what they created together as artists was phenomenal and I think they both have such a passion for their respective crafts, too. You’ll never be able to tell the story of either of them without referencing both at some point — so they’re bound together by that which is kind of tragic, beautiful and a little too Shakespearean romance if there ever was one.

They may never be in the same room together again, but here’s to the sentences on pages they’ll share together, and to the musical poetry they made together. 🥂

something that's been weighing on my mind ever since learning about the situation with ezra / toonimal is seeing how these predators will take the active hostility that is frequently directed towards minors in online spaces to their advantage and use it to prey on vulnerable children. i think that we as adults in online fandom should probably come together and maybe rethink the language / manner we go about interacting with kids bc clearly the way things are rn is causing active harm.

like obviously, if you're an adult and aren't comfortable with minors interacting with you or your content, you should be allowed to set that boundary and should be vocal about it, ( especially if the content you create isn't safe for them to consume. ) but i don't think talking to them like they're a blight on all that is good and holy is the way to go about it. maybe just saying you're an 18 plus account will suffice, you don't have to tell them to fuck off.

ruyan is literally so beautiful that i get ill looking at her

[kuromi-hoemie]

so like..

is the idea that as a compromise to only having to toggle off tumblr live once a month, you now have this permanent tumblr live icon regardless of ur setting choice stuck to the bottom in the middle of everything in the hopes that i click on it accidentally anyways even though it's clear i don't want it or? where is the NO 100% STOP GIVING ME THIS SHIT I DON'T ACCEPT YOUR POLICIES AND LITERALLY COULD NOT CARE LESS ABOUT TUMBLR LIVE AND WILL NEVER BE INTERESTED IN THIS TYPE OF FEATURE OR FORMAT.

@zingring @photomatt @humans idk how many feedback requests people have to cut tumblr for "no" to just be a valid response here. ppl aren't dumb and see u inching over the line trying to force this on them despite the snooze choice.

what, are there so many ppl snoozing and such a low adoption rate that you know you need to trick users into using it so you can "make number go up" or? 🙄

This is what it feels like being a hex fan sometimes, like its not even a twitter issue (and in a sense its not necessarily an issue, sometimes ppl just wanna have fun n not spout theories n discussion 24/7! I get that!) but i feel like a lot of people r quick to write off aspects of the game and characters and insist that, despite it being a mullinsverse title, it's not that deep/things are surface level

"I need to rein it in, I don't know the characters yet, so I won't write fic about them- it'd just end up being out of character anyway."

(proceeds to write like four pages)

"well, okay, that's.... fine, it's ambiguous enough, they barely speak. but i won't mention the kind of tattoos this character is supposed to have without seeing what options I have for them in the cc, just to keep things neat and canon-accurate."

(proceeds to spend like half an hour brainstorming ideas for exactly that)

My mom just sent a message to the family group chat suggesting that my siblings download the 'For the Strength of Youth' magazine on their Gospel Library app and talked about how much the youth magazines helped her testimony growing up and like, cool. Fine. Don't know why the 'sending random spiritual thoughts in the gc' thing started out of nowhere when it hadn't been a thing for a decade but this is just another one of those, and you're ofc allowed to talk about things that are significant in your life.

I don't think sending the 'What I Did When Someone Close to Me Challenged My Faith' article right afterwards was strictly necessary though 🙃

having thoughts about true bdsm couple. like……. one wants to be punished/craves release and the other craves control.

nicest people you’ll ever meet, but behind closed doors…..

[black-rose-irl]

Trying to explain to someone that this thing that they do for fun was actually like, really traumatic for you the last time you did it (and is pretty directly responsible for you ending up on antidepressants) and that the mere suggestion to do it again triggers your fight or flight response, is really something.

like i understand why cassie is writing this plotline in this way but it is making jesse come across very badly that he doesn’t have some fucking level of sympathy for his sister. you think she wanted to do all of that? why are you acting like she’s the bad guy rn. the bad guy is the literal actual demon… and your insane mother too i guess but even then like. the bad guy is still the fucking demon you don’t have to level all your anger at grace seriously

[thefactsofthematter]

having random au thoughts but ballet dancer race is so very special to me… mini fic in the tags lol

[heartoftheancientsea]

I’ve been journaling about the same thing for so many days in a row. I haven’t done this since I was anxious about being in college. It’s really weighing on my heart and writing is the only way I can seem to get it out of me. Idk why, whenever sad things happen I just bury myself in so much shame until I convince myself again and again and again that it wasn’t my fault.

Fun ways to know the Level Headed One ™️ is around: You hear someone sigh in exasperation when you glance around an empty room before dropping the single socks back into the laundry hamper.
