God it is so weird sometimes being a Beatle fan cuz I still have the knee jerk reaction to defend them from nonfans but like,, they are the band that needs the least defending in the world yknow? Theyre literally the fucking Beatles, theyre gonna be fine if tumblr users dont like them but it still feels so so serious if i see someone mocking them lol

My issue with Beatles haterism is that I love talking about music just in general. I don’t care if people hate the Beatles if that opinion is based on some substance and engagement with the Beatles’ actual work. But (especially on this website) it never is. It’s an incurious way to look at music which is boring to me and against my religion (loving music).

the way an abuser can't take being told what they did the way they treat it as comparable to the abuse. ofc with armand it's not bc he feels guilty it's bc he victimizes himself and weaponizes a false pain at the implication that not everything he does is for louis' benefit bc 1. that's effective guilt tripping and 2. he genuinely considers his elaborate horrifyingly mundane machinations of control to be emotional labor. waiting for love pretending he isn't the dog and the collar and the one holding the leash.....

In case you missed - GREAT Neopets News!

I didn't see anybody talking about the news here, so I thought that I could share a summary.

The Neopets Team announced today that they're under new management. They're no longer affiliated with Jumpstart (which announced their closure back in June) or their parent company NetDragon.

In their blog post in the official Neopets Medium page, they confirm that they are now an independent company:

(Dominc Law, worked for NetDragon and was an old school Neopets player. He put together a team to work on saving the brand.)

Also in that blog post the team talks about how they are well aware of the problems the site has been through in the last decade, they acknowledge the lack of resources which resulted in the Neopets website being left broken.

Going ahead, they are going to focus on community requests, such as speeding up the process of Flash Games conversion, clearing up the page conversion backlog, bug fixes, mobile compatibility issues and improving customer support.

Most importantly, in my opinion, they clear up that they WILL NOT go forward with any Metaverse bullshit, and will instead work on creating a game that feels like Neopets:

At this point, they have secured $4M in funding from various (unnamed) investors with additional funding from the management buyout. For the first time in forever, it looks like TNT has the resources they need to move the brand forward. In the blog post, they mention they have already hired developers and artists to work on the fixes the site needs.

From what it looks like, the game will be a mobile social life-simulation, parallel to the current website. We don’t have to worry that neopets.com will be replaced by a mobile app.

As of now, they have announced:

A brand new plot, scheduled for early 2024

A 2 million(!) NeoCash giveaway

More transparency with monthly updates from the team, scheduled AMAs

Neopets will be under the control of a new, unified entity: World of Neopia, Inc - the website will remain the same (neopets.com)

A Brand Ambassador Program

No longer going forward with NFT/Metaverse stuff

At the end, they published a FAQ with some answers that I found to be good and very interesting:

i think race in hockey is a bigger discussion that we Need to constantly be having and acknowledging the rampant racism within the league and within fandom. but i think acting like Literally Hockey Blorbo Polls That Uses Tumblr User Voted Data is the nexus of evil and racism in this fandom when it's is a very real and serious issue in the ACTUAL LEAGUE and in fandom in more tangible and negatively impactful ways is weird and a waste of all of our times and energies

[xariarte]

in this small beloved bball fandom, it is a true courtesy to others to tag posts, to allow others to filter your posts as they see fit.

especially if you want to talk and post about several different teams and players all across the league. especially if you make gifs and post photos and make content of several different teams.

so please tag your posts and let others filter~~

i do think she made a follow up post saying that she’d never go on hockey tumblr again and not to go and harass people on here. which still isn’t great but is definitely better than her not saying anything

aint no way shes not doing an idle scroll at least once in a while if she was game enough to name search herself/mange in the first place! i fear we cant put the genie back in the lamp or whatever. but i suppose this means she’s not gonna make more content out of it? which. fair enough i would not kick the gossip blog hornets nest either 🫡

all of this has just been a good reminder for me that tumblr isnt the walled garden we like to think it is and there are probably more athletes/family/media/industry people on here than we might first assume — i know for a fact there are people on college campuses with nhl draft picks who have seen my ncaa gifs. they have definitely seen other things by other people. logically, it would only take one of those people to show a player for them to see!

anyways mange if youre reading this please go see your shrimer slides we wailed about your sharks tenure for like months. hopefully one day you’ll have a human looking sv% in the nhl 👍

Okay, adding another tool to the Internet Trinkets pile; this is basically the VLC trick I posted but 1000x better.

A web-based social media video/audio downloader with no tracking, no ads, no foux de fafa!

Thank you to @lakefoundtheirexit who brought this to my attention in the VLC post replies! :D

You can download video and audio from a heck ton of social media sites like YouTube, Twitter/X, Reddit, TikTok, Vimeo, Twitch, Tumblr(!) and many more!

I would implore you to leave a donation when using if you can afford to do so!

Ooooh so close midjourney or whatever AI made this image but that is actually not how headphones are worn generally. Certainly not if you want to hear the audiobook... sorry audiosbook. Is that pronounced like adiós book?

For any toontown tierlist fans out there. I made a tierlist for toons (mainly from ttcc, some rewritten is included) since I couldn't find any. I'll attach and image below of all the ones I included, but if anyone has any suggestions I'm all ears.
