Anne should’ve had Akasha’s cult move to Anatolia instead of Gaul. You agree

[mushroommushy]

Shaw is..not a good solution, honestly. I don’t personally agree with this. Bright has belonged to the fandom for awhile now, and he’s grown a lot as a character and is seperate from his shit creator. Hopefully he wont be removed, as he’s pretty loved as a character.

Fuck the author though.

I think about stageplay Lucky a lot, especially his line in the first ep. "Huh? Where do I come from, you ask? Well, that's a secret!" OHHH WHEN I GET YOU LUCKY...WHEN I GET YOU..

The survivors sharing bits and pieces of their stories, not enough to break down their walls, but enough that they can feel a connection with one another. Even if the information is small or vague.

The only one who shares absolutely nothing about himself is Lucky. Surprisingly, no one questions it. It could be the fact that Lucky has always been an open book, someone everyone knew yet knew little of, that made them overlook him

Lucky doesn't tell them that he barely remembers how his manor game went. Doesn't tell them how his mind starts to get foggy whenever he tries to reach into his memories before the manor. Doesn't tell them that he can't even remember his own name.

Some more recent-ish stuff, but this time a few of them are actually fresher-

I hate having a crush. All it does is remind me that I’m stupid and ugly and unlovable and fucked up in the head.

@radiosummons tagged me for this and I'm supposed to tag 9 people but, let's be real here, I'm not going to do that.

SO. If you want to tell me (and the internet) about yourself, please do and tag me back so I can read it and learn about how fabulous your taste is?

Three Ships: So, generally speaking, I am not a shipper and never have been. I know that means I Do Fandom Wrong, but it is what it is. If I had to list my three favorite ships to read, they would be: Codywan, Monaboyd, and IDK...I have been enjoying a lot of Waxer/Boil and also Codex lately.

You guys have no idea how hard it was for me to not answer this with Nina, Pinta, Santa Maria.

First Ever Ship: See above? The first ship I ever WROTE was Monaboyd. Does that count?

Last Song: Nothing But Flowers, Talking Heads (links to spotify)

Last Movie: I am very sorry to report that it is Quantumania. Which I hated. I TRIED to like Antman (as a whole), I really did. But. NO. Prior to that, it was Nick and Nora's Infinite Playlist, which I enjoyed much more than I thought I would given my deep and abiding disdain for Michael Cera.

Currently Reading: I have been on page six of Ninth House (Leigh Bardugo) for about three months now. In that time, I have read probably about a hundred fics, though.

Currently Watching: Ted Lasso, Silo, The Equalizer (Latifa FTW), Ghosts (US version)

Currently Consuming: I just finished a pumpkin chocolate chip cookie crafted with love by my mother-in-law.

Currently Craving: Chips and a really freshly made spicy pico.

Ever get the urge to delete everything you've ever written, and disappear into oblivion? 🤔 Might be fun.

[oceanera12]

Writing exercise time!

Send me a number 1-101 for my Spotify Wrap up and I shall write something for that song.

Might be a paragraph, might be a fic, might be an original work, who knows!?

i do unironically think the best artists of our generation are posting to get 20 notes and 3 reblogs btw. that fanfic with like 45 kudos is some of the best stuff ever written. those OCs you carry around have some of the richest backstories and worldbuilding someone has ever seen. please do not think that reaching only a few people when you post means your art isn't worth celebrating.

No but why did Chris and Leon make silent eye contact for a solid ten seconds in that damn hallway

To illustrate this post by @mayahawkse I would like to visualize to you the difference:

A post in 2023:

A post in 2014:

A zoom out of the same post:

This is what a community looks like.

See how in 2023 almost all of the reblogs come from the OP, from their few hours/days in the tag search. Meanwhile in 2014 the % of reblogs from OP is insignificant, because most of the reblogs come from the reblogs within the fandom, within the micro-communities formed there. You didn't need to rely on tags, or search, or being featured. Because the community took care of you, made sure to pass the work between themselves and onto their blog and exposed their followers to it. It kept works alive for years.

It's not JUST the reblog/like ratio that causing this issue, it's the type of interaction people have. They're content with scrolling and liking the search engine, instead of actually having a reblogging relationship with other blogs in their community.

Anyways, if you want to see more content you like, the only true way to make it happen is to reblog it. Likes do not forward content in no way but making OP feel nice. Reblogs on the other hand make content eternal. They make it relevant, they make it exist outside of a fickle tumblr search that hardly works on the best of days.

If you want more of something, reblog it.
