I commissioned @polarcell, who did this gorgeous art for my fic, That Was the River, This Is the Sea. I'm beyond enamored! Their clothes, their faces, their hair—@polarcell always gets it right. And the Romanescos are so cute! Thanks so much! 💜💜💜

#the old guard #awww look at them #long haired nicky rights #the fic's cute (and hot) too! #joe x nicky #joe is all and he's more #nicky's kiss still thrills me

I finally watched The Old Guard and tumblr did not adequately prepare me for how funny the van kiss scene actually is. Like I've seen whole gif sets of Joe's impromptu love poem but that's not the half of it.

Dude are you sure you want to be making a homophobic jab at these people specifically

Joe: "Yeah he is and what about it, bitch boy" <- said with far more grace and eloquence

Nicky: "<3"

(This is where we give kudos to the actors for not smashing each other's teeth in when LAUNCHING at each other. Couldn't have been me)

Everyone is so taken aback they fully just watch for a whole second in, presumably, homophobic horror before all simultaneously deciding This Cannot Stand

you INTERRUPT joe and nicky? you interrupt their kiss like the football game? oh! oh! death for homophobes! death for homophobes for One Thousand Years!!!!

This isn't really part of the scene but "There's a TV, Joe!" is close enough that I'm going to add it. As an epilogue.

I recently encountered yet another tumblr user who didn't realize that the Blog Settings option to hide your blog from search engines also includes tumblr's own search. It's surprisingly common in my experience, where people for years complain that search is broken for their blog, or that their posts don't show up in the public tags/search, but have no idea it was their own choice that put them in that situation. I know that the explainer text for the "discourage searching of [blog]" option is definitely more detailed than it used be, but if you haven't checked your settings since then, well...

Anyway, is it possible that the option could be separated into "hide from external search engines" and "hide from tumblr's search"? For people who would prefer not to be googleable (and assumed that's the only thing the option was doing) but are ok with their posts showing up in tumblr's own search.

Or possibly the options could be "hide from external search engines" and "turn off tumblr search for my blog"? Or at the very least, could there be further explainer text that hiding your from tumblr's search means that your blog's own searchbar won't ever find anything?

Answer: Hello, @nobodysuspectsthebutterfly!

Well, what do you know. We were looking at this same issue just recently and could not agree more: this setting really should be separated. Ideally, it would look a little something like this:

We need to take another look at this, as splitting search settings into Tumblrs vs. others makes a whole lot of sense. What is less clear is when a member of the team will have the capacity to work on it.

But rest assured we will be adding this to our agenda, and will be in touch with you with updates as and when we have them. And we hope you do not have to wait too long for news on this. We’ll keep you posted!

#love it! #thanks!

i am but a simple gay and every time eliot gets into his regular fight of the episode and his hair gets all messy i can simply do nothing but sit here with my chin in my hands, kicking my legs, twirling my hair and making heart eyes. that's just the way of things.

#leverage #i love an eliot fight TM #the random objects used as weapons! the flicking his hair out of his eyes! the emptying the goons' guns! #op believe me this fandom has your back covered with gif sets #the gif makers are out there doing the lord's work

Ten and Donna end up on a fucked up deadly space newlyweds show despite uh. Not being newlyweds but they get almost all the questions right. They start to sweat when the final question is "what's one secret desire you have involving the other?" And Donna writes "sometimes I wish I could occasionally shrink down the doctor real small so I could carry him around in my pocket and make sure he doesn't get lost' while Ten writes "sometimes I wish I was small enough that Donna could carry me around in like a cat backpack or maybe a shirt pocket" and they look at each other like AYYYYYY because not only are they deeply drift compatible they're also fuckin weird about it 💖

#doctor who #omg this #meanwhile the master sees donna's answer and is just #FINALLY #someone gets me

Chapter 3: That Was the River, This Is the Sea

That Was the River, This Is the Sea (33090 words) by what_alchemy Chapters: 3/4 Fandom: The Old Guard (Movie 2020) Rating: Explicit Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationships: Joe | Yusuf Al-Kaysani/Nicky | Nicolò di Genova Characters: Joe | Yusuf Al-Kaysani, Nicky | Nicolò di Genova, Booker | Sebastien le Livre, Quynh | Noriko Additional Tags: Alternate Universe - Modern: No Powers, Alternate Universe - Academia, Cooking, Meet-Ugly, Fuckbuddies, Oral Sex, Frottage, Anal Fingering, Anal Sex, Rimming, Sex Toys, Phone Sex, Semi-Public Sex, Familial estrangement, Homophobia, annoyances to fuckbuddies to lovers

Summary:

Joe al-Kaysani, professor of art history, has a very clear idea of what he's looking for in a partner: a fellow academic with his shit together who can provide deep intellectual conversations on demand. Nicolò di Genova, surly food services chef who doesn't even warn people about pork or have a bed frame, does not hit the brief. Still, there's something magnetic about him, and Joe figures there's no harm in having a little fun while he waits for Prince Charming to arrive.
