#so can you blame people for being like ''ah yes re...ing i know what that means'' and not realising ''reposting'' is different???

[lindwurmkai]

Information for new users that I haven't really seen included in these advice posts so far:

If you seem to be getting mixed messages about likes and reblogs, there are a few things that might be contributing to your confusion.

1) Reblog and repost are not interchangeable words!

Reblogging is when you use the site's built-in feature to share someone else's post with your followers. This is generally considered supportive and you can't really go wrong with it. Just don't reblog people's random-ass personal posts for no reason I guess?

Reposting is just what we call stealing, basically. Like when you download an image someone posted and upload it yourself. This is why you'll see "do not repost" messages and angry posts about reposting. They are not talking about reblogging.

2) Strongly worded negative posts about likes are usually made by artists and other original content creators who are frustrated that their posts aren't being shared. Likes don't "do nothing", that's an overstatement, but they do practically nothing to increase visibility on here. Don't overthink it, just keep in mind that artists in particular thrive on visibility and you're not contributing to that when you like without reblogging. Support your favourite artists!

3) Yeah, we threaten to make each other's posts go viral on here. That doesn't mean reblogs aren't still appreciated like 99% of the time (again excepting personal ramblings), it's just that once a certain threshold has been reached, chaos tends to ensue. We have the option to turn off reblogs now if we really don't want to deal with that, so just hit that reblog button and don't worry about it.

Basically, I promise you the OP of a 37-note joke will most likely appreciate every reblog and every like.

Oh    this-   just    screams      edgy        ...   Whelp

So is Jar      Jar an     adult,       now,?            (Asking because before his    characteri         zation was force of nature to child

Now he    seems to have his own    personality.

Which is fine   if you want to change some details for the sake of a    better story,      (Or to simply      explore         a new       angle,).    Aesthetic

     Just.            need to make sure I’m holding them to the right standard,

    Okay,

   That-         was    relatively     adult,

  Mm

   Um.

   I

 Aight        .           .       Well-

   Wait 

    Did they just call Jar Jar     away from      Cou-ncil-

    .         I mean they are clearly    trying       which          is   some thing       I do       give credit   for-

   Though                The             Tone              Is            Robot-                 Ic-

       (Though that might be int-         entional since it seems to be hinting that this lady is practicing some kind of         mind tricks on him

   (Aka, he’s doing it         under           tox, because we don’t do suspension of choice in     dra-         mat         ic       Me-     -dia,

 S’up

 What?

  I-

  -

   H-elp

Screw my own   accou-   -ntability     -      See that was the correct   -amount of   emotion-

.        Okay        -         Right-

  Sus-       (pic)

    No one noticed the obvious people right there?

  Like not even      Mr. sus         there?

[or are they just so    kind that it’s like   oh yeah we were just talking hate speech     but go right ahead?

Logic?

 There

  Yeah    some shit is definitely going on,

   For sake of argument*     sake, i’m just going to assume that his reaction to      toxic    behavior

*Account     ability-

 Any way

  I-

  I’m still      going to try,

  Despite  you clearly saying you want understood

   Because assumed authority        - and assuming you know better than a person about themselves

     Is totally ok-

     - In this         society

-[Cries        in       sad    “accountability,”     -of-      war,        ]

  Whelp,

  In-    flue-     n      -c      e

 Still an  adult-

  Okay-

 Imagine    it was just a normal necklace     and he pulled that shit-

[Ok for the sake of argument I’m going to assume the necklace is symbolism for toxic influence,

  Being around it         enabling]

  It-         -       His voice voice dropped like         - 6 octaves

     Also I swear if they try to   excuse him      for his actions-

     No

    Mind over matter     -Okay, so they’re not excusing him for his   -actions,

   Me-          an         -       OK so it’s not naturally evil it    just comes down to the users      so that dude was still totally responsible,

  Didn’t    change    - much

    -     Ha-Ha

  Actual     gas     -lighting”

    Also     persuade,            -             Okay,     good not excusing him       from his actions,      -      Thing

The   gaslighting goes deep      -      Also isn’t the Darkside supposed to be      negative over involvement?      -       Aight-         -       -           A-lone

  Oh yeah that’s a great idea let’s just let the  dude that just got gaslighted and completely fell forward go back into the person who did it,

 👍

     Genius     

    (This Jedi Council is fucking                  brilliant)

     Gas-       Light-         Ing

(Note;      Confronting the gas lighter is never the way       to do it       (Inter-             Gen-)          (Excluding accountability of the abuser     (Gen-break           Venting Pro-      Ced- u        re)

 [as you’re usually too angry     to let them get a word in edgewise        And remain;           in control)

  With inter- gen productivity,         They are possibly given       five warnings before         Being          Kick        ed-]

   For the sake of argu-       ment as well       as simplicity-

    We’re stick       -ing with        bas-         ic-

    If someone’s acting toxic        with you, you         reflect and you don’t have to         hang out with anyone         you don’t want to,

    Logic

   This dude      is very clearly making it obvious that    he’s willing to listen to this person,

 And, enabling

“Cl-”

See he’s gaslighting him again      because   he thinks he can get away with it,

With no   accoun-       tability-

 (Or the small bit      this society      believes      in     which is    jail,”

Wr-

Oh!

 Is he a     Gungan      Jedi?

  Also,

  You Don’t  

    SAY!

(The repeated Gaslighter      who has shown multiple times to be     toxic,       Was toxic,    (And prepared to use any means to      subvert the         will? 

Prize  for the  most   in  competent      Je      di

 Like,        Serious-         (Really had to put those two    accoun  t-      ability- cells      to good -    use-”

(For   matting       issue-)

  The writer just saving us the effort of him coming downstairs -all feckin- weird, and the   obvious    “should’ve seen that coming,     “

   ?             ha-ha

    What?

Oh yeah       no the creepy magical stuff wasn’t enough of a      fecking clue in-

  Appar-

   Whelp-

  He   snapped out of that quick-

  Like didn’t even need a      reverse- mind trick

   Good for      him-

   And - actual-     nar-    rative-        -

   Whelp,

   Wreck-ing      -house

       Okay, but how do you think this is going to look to the general public like two Jedi,( very good at persuasion -    mind tricks’ -just showed up, now they’re leader and said Jedi are wreck-ing one of their minster’s houses-  

     One who could’ve     feign-           ed lack of support for the        war

     Like if this is a     set up-  

 the chips-      are about to fall,

 Da-

Okay, seriously how obviously evil,    was this person?

Like we have a weird creepy room,     The robots apparently hanging from the    chandelier    (eck)         And      the knife

   Like if this person      ever-       went-   through a checkpoint

   Also,        Oh-

    That-

   (That     really        does not      look good,)

    Bo-ss

   Yeah,       she clearly has    medical experience,

 (Also yeah    that’s really going to make it    better-”

 Oh yeah the    senator was      seen trying to clean up the      evidence-

    Well the Jedi ran out     full sword’s- a blazing

    (Instead of you know the       Senator chasing after him,         While the peacekeeper stayed behind and tried to        tend to the person,]

   Great     -        -       Or    Not-

Well- tensions    just got raised,

  Of,

 Ai.     Ght, 

 Whelp,

(Okay, no way he’s totally not dead      but sure-)

 A-i-

  -

 Whe-

   That-       sucks-          -         Un-     Con-cious

    That-   doesn’t tell me anything else-

   Like;        Critical      condition?

   D-usk

   Li-terally       no one else?

    (Like don’t get me wrong I’ve been a pretty big Jar-jar fan ever since the change-)

   But really, the Senator, the person that spends the most time away from your - planet

   That’s the person,     they trust the most?

  Ai-

  Hm-

Oh yeah just put on the deadly leaders hat-

   The rese-mblance-

   Not really?

   I mean all humans technically    look the same-

  But-

 Pretty sure Jar jar is a lot      scrawn-         thin        -er

    Also if they’re not going to listen to him as him       they’re not going to listen to him      as he pretends to be their (dead) leader

Also, please don’t go with the      liar revealed plot,

    Yeah no, they have completely different kind of light.   tones,

     The face structure-

    Co-mpletely         different-

     -

   Nope

 -Dead

 Di-ssent

  Agree

   I-

   OK yeah I’m just gonna go over the fact, that as previously state,  I am not a huge fan of the liar revealed plot-

    -or lying

  (No because it’s- unrealistic-    - or there’s anything wrong with it

  -people do lie

     -maybe because of how overdone and             poorly done it’s been,

             -With the liar getting off Scott free without any                  weight

               But I really don’t like this               plot-

-And    the   skip    button    maybe   used     ad-     nausuem-   -

       [Well- shit       [for reference; I was using the skip button ad nausuem when I randomly stopped at the part      with    Greivous

        Things just got a whole lot worse]

         [Tumblr             Refresh]       -

   Any        Way,

   Aww,     That’s kind of nice the    friendship and reliance       the dude has on      Other-        Half            -         Yes        ‘Boss       Leoni’        when someone gets         tox         you leave-        - In a      - relation          ship-  

      Also yeah he’s definitely not       ‘Boss         Leoni’            -            He would’ve stayed and tried to take the    tox

 (Aka Jar-jar is less ena-     bling, les-        tox-     And     Doesn’t       Take        It        For          Much        More.            Than            He            Has               To,

        (He’s   les   -s

      Dyfun.  -c)

      Okay

       Good            Job     -     Also - yeah   how’d you manage that         -         That-

Didn’t get   car   ried up the chain of   com-     mand-        -            Then again Gri-   evous has shown to be a pretty   shit boss.     -      So I can’t blame these guys    for being like yeah compl-      ete stranger     I will totally      take a nap       -right    ,now-         -      You        kinda      have      sticks-        -    [The rain is   really    nice,]

[is this the first time we’ve seen them use active     particle effects      for the camera?

  Either way       it’s really        nice            -

Oh,

They’re    

electric     sticks,

That makes   sense

  W-h

   Again this is what happens when you 1v1 it    and    don’t assume accountability-     - -   

 [Don’t fight a metal cyborg with metal sticks when you’re not prepared to take it, full way,)

   I-

  [I feel like this is supposed to be some    big build up but they only shared like one scene where dude was completely silent,]

  Like,

   Sacr-ifice

    Die to take someone out with you

[Great

  Now

   Ouch]

   Are   they actually going to kill off      grievous because this isn’t look-ing    too    - good      -         Shit-

 Dude-      is still not dead-       -       How?        -          Whelp-           -          Oh,    hey      where the fuck    did you come      from,

  Okay

 Getting a little    ahead of yourself     episode-       -       O k

    I

   Hearing this,  Skywalker doesn’t immediately run back      shout        -ing      nope-        - -       Because, to my knowledge the speaking at      room volume,

  Not    whispering        and the distance        isn’t enough to      -explain it             -            Ai          -   -           Wel-             -      There goes one        min-ion-             -             Droids are apparently    expensive enough to      chastise    Grievous          over-

  But sen-tient - beings are        a dime’     a ‘dozen-

    (Also    gaslighter’s.     don’t give a shit about        you     dear,       God,

  The Painful     dramatic-        irony-

 *tra-      gic-      Wh-      -Oa

 Ai     -     Ri-

  Wh-     -elp,

   You know if it wasn’t for the exposure     earl-        ier   

I would assume they would think that the Jedi was just killing all their Im-por-        tant- elected officials

     Why?

     Wh-at

    He’s right.    -         But dude- that’s pretty      ham fisted-

   I mean-

  How many episodes          (and       possibly        seasons-)      do we have to            go-            - -     Anakin-       is a dick    to lanterns-       -        Also the random theme of the     bots-      coming out of nowhere-    continues-       -     St     -op-          -        Wh-       elp-

    .

    ?         (He          live?)

      I-

      ?

  Good           Play-

     Ah-

    To-

       Oh, yeah,       He’s alive we’re not going to bring that up in any      mention-able way?

      Ike

    Wh     e     l-      p

     Oh           -     That was   -nice-

   You deceived everyone and lied to all          our people,  you’ll make a great      leader,

   Or a great council/    committee leader considering that they do have an open position          ,            Best

I like that they had one bad ass fall and had it replace-d by Dooku being particularly bad-ass       -          In his      place-

In the trade off near the end really speaks to the     frag-ility of war

   I thought-

   It was pretty al-right    Though it really did seem like     - they were trying to build up to something but the structure unfortunately        just didn’t support it,

   Which is unfortunate because they do seem like      bits- that could’ve been nice

   Like Jar-jar being a constant       peacekeeper-

   The underwater        nations-

     Wars be-           tween          - Those               Dude’s

   And that    general guy      -        Who seems to be like he was supposed to be this     - really big deal

 [probably intended to do something      massive in the previous       arcs,]

    But, here,    all he did was that one scene,

    [Would’ve worked better if he was like this Re-       Public Gen-       Er          Al-

    To the      shark guy-

     And Akbar,

     Was just like the resident         enforcer-

     Or something to do with the       prince

    I think it would’ve really worked better with the concept of        ‘being taken’        under,               As well that possibly being a good contrast between     Jar Jar         binks          And        Char-        If Jar- jar got promoted-        With Char being eager at first but then realizing he just         can’t-          And Jar- Jar being reluctant at first but realizing he      can-

   [Note; assumed authority is bad,         Just- some people are better at using it for venting         than others)

   Nope boomers vs throw-         it-back, boom-

       I-

     And it really did feel like this episode       -should’ve been the split one 

   Nearing the end- it started to feel like the 1st-       part of a second ep-

    Which is fine

    Just cut-        of-

   Episode all around being al-right, with just several parts that didn’t make quite sense including the emphasis on the general for that one scene,

[throwingideasatthewall]

Clone Wars        Crisis on Naboo

Okay, here’s the plan

   Obi-Wan sends him the plans

    And the Jedi Council      sneak attack every member,

   (Literally no dude is going to blame him        for that shit luck

    (Un-likely      they kno    -w)          -          Also Anakin heard Obi-Wan‘s voice one time possibly        suffering from             serious            injury,               And has chilled out noticeably since,

        Yeah I know Yoda supposedly confirmed it but 

        Yoda is vague as heck

        (And a Narc known for lying it doesn’t really       inspire        confidence,)

       Days

 Seriously you didn’t give him advice so he could quick snap        the plans?

What is the damn point?

   That - he just so happens to manage to take out all       five of them alone?

    Like even divide           and conquer,

       Last time he run against      Bane that I saw it didn’t go well

      Yeah and he could stab him literally in the back,

       Ch             eater,

   Oh,      we didn’t actually get to see the interesting part of the planning,

    They are literally just completely,        relying on Obi-Wan,

    (How quickly does this turn into a house fire?)

        The fuck?

      Why is Count Dooku accompanying them this           far?

       Friend(s

      Honestly I think it should’ve started here with             Count Dooku just telling them OK here’s the plan               go do a thing-

                Oh yeah Palpatine is lit-                 erally just trying to kill himself,                     aight,

               A-gain

              You know it might’ve worked better if he presented this                   by a hologram,

     Like I respect it but still dude’s just like           there

         Like s’up

         I’m part of your              clique now?                      . . .                  Like                    it’s                 very               aesthetic                     -                      But                   weirdly                    adorable,

                      If that’s   what they were going for,

                        Count Dooku and his like five   murder beans     (Aff-ectionate)

    Oh that’s actually a smart plan not giving anyone all             the info.

       Guards

        ...

      I hope they’re going with a sniper as in not the      only sniper,

         (Also yeah dude literally focused on the one person and literally didn’t test any of them any further)

         (Like they’re trained to deal with lasers and gas)

        (Not much for bullets)

        (Like really what is everyone else’s        speciality?)

      Like know the       Stretchy girls got gymnastics,

      Everyone else got a general they were neat        without much of an explanation

     Kade has blasters    and is used to close combat..

     I have a literally nothing for anyone else       because it never really showed off their skill,

   (Or any part-       icular speciality or application)

  Dis-        guis              e

  Aight

(Yeah you completely kicked the brains     off that team,

  Don’t get me wrong a bunch of     action heroes are all good,

  But maybe you did wanna have someone working   Intel?

  Like is that   dude just dead?

Hardeen

  Dude weren’t you just vouching for him     last thing?

  Also yeah I thought we get an explanation about why are you suddenly just picked Kade Bane,

   After       ramping up        Hardin?

   Like is it     “a man that can get the job done?”       -       Trust

 The way he suddenly gained       distrust of his teammates at the table?

   Them

  W-help

   Right

   Windu       and        Anakin         again,

    Okay,         Fair,

     -        Ch-arming          that’s      almost,

     That’s a nice dy-         nam-ic

     Also the horned guard is standing           beside..

      Okay!..

      Fest            Ival-

     Honestly        you’d think more of those would be occ   -urring

    Considering how many        (sentient) species there are,

  Cr-

   Really 

   because we didn’t see most of it

  But then again that might be because they add the      historical landmark and things have been cleared out,

  .       Still sounds a bit mumbled        -         and not exactly the high-pitched chatter you expect

 Cere-mony

Can you not talk about the old man -       dying right in front of him?

Like seriously really reassuring   , having your guard openly talking about,       The planned strategy       instead of just kind of shutting up and doing their job      with a sense of anxiety,              In air,

  (I mean I can’t blame him for being        flippant because this is          a boomer,)

     But,       Aight

Ahsoka,

  Ai-

  ?

  He’s a damn soldier the stuff is     pretty par for the course         (At least expected)

   Am

   Ah, tone was a little off     there,

 But aight,

  R-ight

   Oh yeah,      and his weird glitchy hologram,

  (Also yeah what’s the plan now       smart guy?)

     ?          Oh,  

    Only,         now       does he contact these guys?          -                 god-         -          Also yeah why does he sound like he swallow -     ed muff          Ins,

    That’s            a little          better,

   I’m surprised they don’t have the chan-c-e-llor being followed by an entourage of Jedis-

   -             Re-pub          lic,

    Oh so that’s what that       represents,

   I thought it was just a random celebration of the      ‘light side of the force,’ thing         aight,

    Whel-

      ?

   Seriously you just let a random    nobody?

   -            ?    -            ?        Right,       Also you’d think he take the shot   doing the speech but fair enough         -      Seriously.    is it actually     glitching like that?

  .           Good,

   Was that plan A and Hardeen,                 Plan B?

           Also their disguise just completely heck          -ed over,

          ?             Here?

       (How does it have only one shot?

        Seriously             how salty was that dude?

       Also you just completely left them there after it was said to take him to the fecking car           Dumb        ass

   Don’t tell me   Obi-Wan doesn’t see any of this shit,

    Whelp even with     early warning   you guys still flubbed it,

 B-ane

(His plan just     to exclude that one guy because 

‘no one likes that guy,’

 Dis-

 Dooku 

    ?-

  Ran-         Som-

      Seriously      you just caused him to sell out,

   (Now you can’t use that       tactic again,)

        ?

     Your Scooby Doo ending ended up screwing you over a          tactic-

       But fair,-

      Or-ders -

       Ter-

      Yeah,

        Like there’s a lot of dick moves here

         Like the first being to expose anyone to death-

        The rest-

       I mean people die 

    and Anakin’s responses put it off though

       Then again he was murdered,

         While enabling.

                -                      Well nah, I think Anakin is pretty just in being pissed,                       like dude faked his own murder,                       Basically parad-                           ing his body around in front of Anakin,                        After several degrees of abuse                          and grooming,                           can’t blame him if that’s where                            he drew the line,                              (Of course you shouldn’t murder people)

 Okay, that animation was really weird

  Also, not the fact to focus on

   More; “I thought you were dead,”

                   I went to your funeral

                  I saw-

             “Anakin-

           [Sn.      ��          -apping-]                   “I SAW your dead body!”                     [Heads                          turn,]

                   [Anakin storms                        off,]

                       ?

                      W-h

                       Does he   switch back?

    O-

    Ti-

   [After you literally       blew that disguise]

    I can tell the toxic behavior I put pressure on you           to enable          Has given you stress,

I-

  Tr-uth

 Ac-countability he was talking about accountability you  [Narc] idiot

A-i

 ?    

 Dooku

  How?

     ?

     - -         Also you don’t even want the    horn-ed dude,

  Sur-prise

   Or private

  Like seriously there’s nothing suspicious about an adult and another adult having a meal together

    (A bit when it’s an enabling boomer )

    (But          Aight)

        ?

     Len          gths

   Which is why they’re just letting you go around un guarded without anyone despite previous insistence             And an attempt         on your life,

        Yours

Dude that was a       crackle Barrel scheme,

  Like I don’t know how anyone               not doing that heavy tox could come up with it

Or just nonsense,

   Dark

   In-teresting

   Uh,         No?

   Like their MO, is several different units          in vastly different places       with communications that can be often jammed

    They are far from              unified

       Wel-come

        Ah,  Palpatine‘s face,             His eyes did a weird thing,

           -                 No-

             Ah, did he just get shocked and not react because there was a brief-                   Out- line

              Also not going to pull out your light saber or                   do much of anything,

         Also you have to wonder what is going through Dooku’s mind  like my                 boss wants me to kidnap him, ran          -som-

       Like-

       So Dooku throws everything at Anakin        but the table-

         How?

          Oh never mind

       I was going to comment      near the end,          they didn’t seem to really have as much fun         with Pal-patine as they could

   .....

HaHAHa

Like,       look at him

  Like the only way I think they could’ve made it funnier is by having him    smiling and twiddling his fingers,

  Like yes me         Mr innocent man,

             I-              -                 Also what the heck happened to           Padme?

  Smirking little shit

    (Also I like the fact that you literally see       Count Dooku’s eyes go up to him        (Moments         Before)           Like           ya           want         to       jump         in,

      ?

   How?

   Are you alright?

Does he look al     right?

  Well       that was a         feck in tango and a half,

     ?

   Fuck        This          - Count             Dooku’s            Thoughts             -             Ad-

       He literally did nothing and        didn’t even have to go against the force      lightning

     Ap-prentice

      Boomer

     F-eck

     Th-anks

    Dude, please go home                  - Amidala’s                      Thoughts,                      (Pro-bably)

      That’s second

         Heroics

           Irony-

Promise of accountability?

   ?        Jedi-

  (Shows guys that are not the Jedi       guarding their backs)

   Hm,

  Thought it was a pretty      entertaining episode,
