So I just saw a post by a random personal blog that said “don’t follow me if we never even had a conversation before” and?????? Not to be rude but literally what the fuck??????????

I’ve had people (non-pornbots) try to strike conversation out of nowhere in my DMs recently, and now I’m wondering if they were doing that because they wanted to follow me and thought they needed to interact first. I feel compelled to say, just in case, that it’s totally okay to follow this blog (or my side blog, for that matter) even if we’ve never talked before.

Also, I’m legit confused. Is this how follow culture works right now? It was worded like it’s common sense but is that really a thing?

We have the official boop numbers! Our estimate of one billion boops was (sadly) incorrect, but 142 million boops is still a lot!

Boop Breakdown

Well, you did it. You booped. You booped all over your dashboard with reckless abandon, your finger gnashing away at the boop button, much like a lovely raccoon discovering a glorious half-eaten baked potato. A treasure was presented, and you knew you deserved it. You deserved to boop. Collectively, you booped 142,566,897 times. To repeat: one hundred forty-two million five hundred sixty-six thousand eight hundred ninety-seven boops were had on tumblr dot com the website and the app.

Specifically: 

Normal boops: 119,204,929

Self boops: 12,645,652

Cat boops: 7,925,241

Super boops: 2,095,231

Mischievous, aka evil boops: 695,844

One particularly boopable Tumblr was booped a total of 874,212 times. To be so rich in boops is a blessing. The Tumblr that gave the most boops found it in their heart to bestow 127,073 boops upon those they found worthy. 

Over 500,000 Tumblrs were booped and booped back in return. And for what? What would drive so many to boop? Does Tumblr yearn for the boop mines? Well, yes. And also the guts, the glory, the prestige, and, of course, the badges. Oh, how you worked for those badges:

Booper participants: 229,881

Booper enthusiasts:  85,548

Booper supers:  67,571

Hold your heads high, Tumblr. You booped until you couldn’t boop anymore. You created incredible fanart, invented a whole new genre of -sonas, and even created your own premium, high-end awards. It was noble, it was boop. We hope you boop yourself, and boop for boop. Boop, boop boop? Boop, boop. Boop boop boop, boop boop; Boop! Boop! 

Boop,

Tumblr

Does Estaban have any godparents? If so who are they?

...no??? Both Carlos and I are mortal. (Well, Carlos is mortal. The existence of my own mortality is still up for debate.) Neither of us are gods.

Me, trying to explain WTNV to my sister:

"So it's like Gravity Falls where it's a town with a lot of freaky cryptid shit with hooded figures and floating cats, except nobody freaks out about the weird shit and it's just normal for them. The radio host that narrates everything is gay and Jewish and he has a Latino husband and a son who I would kill for, and his niece is disabled and in a wheelchair (if I remember correctly), and none of that stuff is ever talked about in a bad way, and it's talked about like it's completely normal, and I love it. There's a town that's like Night Vale but weirdly normal, and it's creepy, and probably a mockery of how capitalism expects us to behave with is happy to be dying under its oppressiveness, and also I'm fairly sure there's some cult shit going on there. Also there's a cloud that drops dead animals on people. It's great. Go listen to it."

Cecil took one look at this picture, and now he's a cat on top of the fridge in the break room.

Please help. It's time to go home and we still can't get him down.

Sure!

The world will end during an eclipse. We just don't know which one.

Mountains are not real.

Rift valleys happen when tectonic plates get a divorce.
