Forget anything good I said about the McCarter Theater production. Fuck what they did to Yannick.

“Ao3 needs an algorithm” no it doesn’t, part of the ao3 experience is scrolling through pages of cursed content looking for the one fic you want to read until you get distracted by a summary so cursed that it completely derails your entire search

I was on a bus once when this guy tapped my knee and pointed out that we were the only two people not looking at their phones and then asked what I was thinking about. 

sometimes when I’m having a bad day I relive the moment I saw the his manic pixi dream girl hopes draining from his eyes and fill up with confusion and boredom as I explained to him I was thinking about which Rupaul’s Drag Race challenges Frank n Furter would preform best in and locked him into the conversation until it was my stop

people are so quick to romanticize trauma and trauma responses but even quicker to demonize the consequences of those responses

i’ll never forgive the media for glamorizing women who build up their walls following xyz experiences and are afraid of love/getting close to people just to later villainize them for pushing people away or closing themselves off when things get difficult

don’t use trauma for character development especially if you aren’t willing to acknowledge the scars that form from healing

peter parker in the 2002 movie is fuckin…. incredible. he gets bitten by a fuckin jacked red blue spider and he doesnt say “hey someone should take me to the hospital mayhaps?” he just goes home. then the bite swells to the size of a fuckin jawbreaker but he’s like “nah i just need a nap.” then he wakes up the next day and discovers that he DOESN’T NEED HIS GLASSES ANYMORE and he has a fuckin six pack. does he flip his entire Fuck? no. he says, “cool.” iconic.

i had a really weird dream last night and i distinctly remember saying something along the lines of “i was still in my p!atd phase you can’t judge me based on my personality back then” and if that isn’t the truest shit

#i think i blacked most of that era out #like who was she? do i know her? no i do not. #my final pokémon evolution is yet to be known but it lies somewhere between badass er doctor and crunchy travelling author

I think the thing that worries me so much about this tumblr plus bullshit isn’t the fact that creators can put their stuff behind a pay wall - for everyday regular bloggers that’s fine! Do what you want I guess.

But fanfiction writers CANNOT do this. Point blank PERIOD!

And some might say “oh but Aeryn it’s a choice! You don’t have to do it!” And, yes I KNOW this. I know it’s a choice. But younger fanfic creators out there may not be aware of the absolute shit show that went down several years ago where people SUED fanfiction writers over their work. And that is dangerous for many reasons.

These companies that own the characters we love do. Not. Care. About us. They will sue us the second some fanfic creator unwittingly uses this paywall to gain money from their fanfiction works. That is illegal. You CANNOT do that. You cannot gain money from fanfiction Bc technically it isn’t yours. The characters and the worlds are not ours and if just one of us gets caught doing it tumblr will get sued and we all know they don’t have the money to fight them and tumblr will go poof.

This post isn’t meant to be rude or demeaning or condescending. I am just genuinely so so worried about this because if it takes off, tumblr as a fandom space is as good as gone. And as much as I call this place a “hell site” I do love it. I love the community I’ve built here and the friends I’ve made and I don’t want to lose it because of the IDIOTS at yahoo want more money.

*sigh* so - please complain to tumblr about this and hope to god it doesn’t actually happen. For all fanfic writers sake.

Rb if you pinky promise not to join Tumblr+ and won’t hide your content behind a paywall

[friendlyneighborhoodspider-man]

MAYBE, just MAYBE, if staff had a functioning website with full functioning features, they’d have a leg to stand on but how are content creators and content consumers supposed to trust a website who can’t get a p*rn ban right, can’t fix the mobile glitches, can’t fix the search engines, can’t fix the tags, doesn’t listen to their userbase besides that 1 (one) time over the text limit, can’t fix the queue glitches, can’t allow us to send asks with side blogs, can’t get the search to work properly on blogs, can’t get the post bans to work, deletes blogs for no reason, deletes posts for no reason, won’t release urls that haven’t been used in years, won’t do anything to attempt to help content creators with the like/reblog ratio, doesn’t have an actual block option that woks properly (you can block someone but they can still visit your blog and send you anon asks), can’t get posts to load properly, can’t include the read more option easily for mobile users, can’t show us notifications especially things we’re tagged in, won’t/can’t do anything about copyrighted content made BY the content creators being posted to other sites like IG and Twitter, with MONEY?
