I'm honestly glad r/lgbt didn't go along with the blackout and had their members move to tumblr. I am so fucking glad we didn't get more a-specs exclus on this app.

The queer reddit community is kinda a cesspool in my experience whenever it comes to not being aphobic. It's all entitled people who only care about the sanctity of the "LGBT (without the rest)" acronym and not the actual lived experiences of queer people.

#aro #aromantic #lgbtqia+ #arospec #aromanticism #reddit blackout #fuck reddit #some allo queers will never include us for the life of us #and r/lgbt redditors are some of the worst cases of that #heaps and heaps of aphobic comments on the last a-spec post that got traction there #all massively upvoted #fuck them

I think it's so funny how I kinda just weaseled my way into this fandom bc like everywhere else in the fandom, it's impossible to EVER be noticed unless you're churning out 12 Mona Lisa's a day or something.

#ninjago #raine's shitposting #with ninjagotwt idk what happened bc my account got sniped and i cant get back in and now im stuck on an acc that never gets any traction a #all

There’s this one workplace safety video that someone posted a clip from on here a while ago of a coworker saying something like “I’m going to kill you, hurt you, or harm you in some way 😐” and it haunts my subconscious but I can NEVER find it when I go searching. does anyone know what the hell im talking about.

So I was feeling kinda depressed since my blog kinda dies when I’m focusing on my health and irl life, and character development, writing and art takes a lot of time to create something impressive and coherent.

so since I need notes for my blog to stay alive while I work on stuff i thought I’d make a cool sans au to show everyone on tumblr so I get thousands of notes and really cool fanart and get featured in tiktoks and stuff with my character.

Since this is all it takes to become famous in the undertale fandom I thought I’d just throw away all the research I’m doing and just go with what works yanno?

😳 maybe I’ll draw horny art of him next, that’ll reel in the notes.

#I wonder if you can tell that I made him up in less than five minutes #I’m a creative genius I know #give me an Oscar #This is mostly hj I’m just kinda frustrated by the on going trend of “overly complicated character design with little thought put into it- #Gets more attention than anyone else’s complex well thought out character” #I see so many amazing talented people on tumblr with the coolest characters and the coolest ideas and art that get so much less traction #than people who just like got famous after drawing one character in 2016 and now they have thousands of followers #I know tumblr has no algorithm but I admittedly get kinda sick of the apparent favouritism in the fandom. But maybe that’s just how it is #I guess if you post frequently enough you rule the world. #quality takes time #I wish I didn’t feel like I need to post art multiple times a week despite not having the time todo so #just so people will see my content and I’ll grow as a blog #i’ll never be good enough #no matter what I do #because I can’t draw as frequently and post with the tags people see the most #I try todo tumblr casually but it hurts because people won’t see me and get invested in my ideas because my ideas take time #I can’t get famous without posting I can’t post something that’ll be good enough if I don’t put the effort into it #I don’t know sometimes I feel isolated on here #everyone else has everything figured out.

i just wish literally ANY of my debunking posts made it past a handful of likes/reblogs. i'm not looking for plaudits or brownie points on this stuff, but i've spent a not-insubstantial amount of time tracking down the source of some popular rumors/conspiracies and have managed to piece things together by crowdsourcing info from ppl who were There in addition to my own internet dives.

i'm not even really begging for notes tbh, i just that i wish the info could get out there. it just gets annoying to see the same things that are honestly not that difficult to debunk keep getting spread around and see new people latch onto them and spread them, bc repeating conspiracies is more fun than fact checking (unless you're a freak like me who loves a good internet spelunk)

i'm not even mad at ppl or anything bc i get it! conspiracies are fun! i've even bought into a couple! but then when i went to source them, i realized that oop! there's not a good source or it's been taken out of context! sometimes it's stuff that's been distorted via fandom telephone! and sometimes it's a complete fabrication or intentional misinfo, which is wild!

i guess i'm just bummed that The Truth Is Out There and yet we're still seeing the same debunked things circulate within the fandom.

maybe i'd get more traction if i was confrontational about this stuff but i try to come from a place of curiosity and good faith and give ppl benefit of the doubt and assume that others are coming from a place of good faith as well unless/until proven otherwise. i'm also happy to revise my stance if folks can offer a decent rebuttal - for all the research i may do, i can still be wrong! i encourage other ppl to fact check what i'm saying!

there's plenty of stuff that i have theories about that are wholly vibes-based and don't even have anecdata to back them up, so i just... don't talk about those publicly so as not to spread them. or i make extremely clear that i am just spitballing or spinning a word salad conspiracy as a joke.

and yeah, this is specifically about spn fandom but it applies to the real world as well. misinfo spreads so easily and it's extremely hard to stop it spreading or debunk it once it reaches critical mass and/or it gets the illusion of truth by coming from mainstream news sites (or popular blogs). it just feels like ppl are becoming more and more fundamentally un-curious and refuse to exit the echo chamber both in fandom and irl.

#the person who called destiel shippers qfanon post-finale was being a dick but sometimes it doesn't feel wholly off the mark #i also won't bring up anything publicly that i had to dig *deep* to find or could be taken badly out of context #i try to be respectful of boundaries and err on the side of caution #i'm a private person so if i wouldn't be okay with ppl knowing X about me i won't post X about someone else even if they're a public figure #the thing is that i used to be VERY confrontational with ppl and sure i got notes and and ppl ate it up & thought i was hilarious #but it was also cruel and self-destructive and the result of me being deeply not okay mentally. i never want to go there again. #so yeah. i'll taken openness and not a lot of attention over the possible traction i might get from being a raging dick again #no matter how much i want to be sometimes #i've basically given up on posting my debunking stuff bc it's me putting in a lot of effort just to be ignored #i don't really post analysis anymore either bc i swear ppl intentionally misunderstand what i'm saying #truly impressive amounts of ''how the heck did you get *that* from my post?'' or ppl fandomsplain at me ignoring what my post said #i'm just not made for modern soc med :')

[adventuringalchemy]

BRO I AM GETTING ASKS OUT THE ASS HOW COME NO OTHER FANDOM WAS THIS INTERESTED WITH MY MUSE???

#⚗️ OOC . #( LIKE I LOVE THIS A LOT BUT LIKE IT'S SO STRANGE ) #( this is the FIRST the VERY FIRST time i have EVER had someone ask me asks like this to want to know more about my worldbuilding ) #( and to figure out my headcanons ) #( like i am genuinely so stoked you guys love my ivor so much i really really appreciate it!! ) #( i have been rping on this hellsite since i was 12 andi have NEVER had this much interaction in such a long time!! ) #( i did with dr. facilier but it was more just rp esque. not asking about ivor and the world he's in. ) #( i am genuinely so touched from feeling so loved by you guys!! ) #( like even when i rp'd undertale i never got this much traction ) #( the minecraft fandom is fucking CRAZY fr ) #( i got hate one time and then everybody else was like 'nah. we ain't having that' ) #( and now you're all expressing your love!! i'm so grateful!! <3 ) #( now watch me get hate since i posted this. 💀💀💀 )

[theeminentlyimpractical]

I forgot the thing about tumblr is you gotta put the funny shit in the tags and then hope your mutuals reblog it enough, like a dog nudging hands for pets

#I’ve been off this hellsite for almost a decade having 5k notes is insane to me #it’s never my actually funny shit that gains traction #also came back right when prev culture got nerfed so that’s a fucking learning curve

[much-ado-about-whomst]

If it's not clear- Stede Bonnet is at soup.

#is this a meme people get? #ik it got some traction with the GO crowd #but outside of that i never really saw that meme pop off here #triangle meme #steddyhands #our flag means death #our flag means memes #stede bonnet #izzy hands #edward teach

[fleshmaid]

Just now realizing one of my fav artist in this fandom reblogged my art

#i was wondering why my ferrygabe pic was getting traction again #also theres a few people whos art ive reblogged before that follow me now that i never got around to following back AUGH #i barely check my notifs mostly to see if my mutuals or followers left a message or comment

[starlooove]

“There is no fanfic on Stephs treatment I have checked” that’s like the whole point.

#I’m not saying ur wrong bc it’s not canon #I’m saying ur wrong bc ur perpetuating the misogyny that got u there in the first place #and yeah imma take it there it IS that deep to me sorry #like this isn’t like a diff in opinion on an arc or smth #this is quite literally the bigotry that fandoms supposed to be an escape from manifesting itself again with a rainbow flag over it it’s so #like first of all not that serious but concerning to me is getting into smth without knowing the source material #u don’t need to know the exact timeline of events and which specific Batmobile Bruce had in every era duh #that’d be hypocritical to say I read character to character screw the timeline lmao #but it’s like. ur telling me u adore Dick Grayson and have never picked up NTT? #u wanna analyze the queer coding in Tim’s character but you’ve never read his og robin run? #u wanna talk about Damian’s character growth but you’ve only read Batman and Robin 2020s? #u ADORRRRE steph and cass and you haven’t even read batgirls #and that’s like nonissues #my issues are u wanna discuss how Barbara is actually so cold and cruel to dick for how she handled Catalina and you’ve never read birds of #prey and actually dick never cheated so (this isn’t me being hypocritical if you’ve seen that post I just lowk changed my mind) #or if he did it was justified or whatever #you wanna talk about how Jason and Roy are soulmates and you can’t tell me a single thing besides he’s an archer a father and an addict #it’s like ur putting shit out there about these characters and their relationships and you don’t know them #and more people who don’t know them see ur shit and do the same thing #and that’s mid level issue #the BIG issue is that y’all have not unpacked ur racism misogyny or classism enough to do this and then turn around and say ur fixing dc or #whatever. u have not done enough work to speak on Jason or Damian and say they deserve better whilst u water down their anger into smth #palatable and sweet on ur white faves. u don’t get to complain about how there’s not enough about steph and all u do is spread more made up #shit to infantilize tim. and I’m not saying I’ll never read a tim centric fic that’s ooc and stupid and have fun #I do that and I don’t talk about it bc that shit should not be the main writing you find when you look for BATMAN lmao #and even then they HIGHEST problem is that even when people make more content centering the woc poc and yes even WW it still doesn’t get any #traction bc y’all haven’t unpacked as much of ur racism and misogyny as u think u have #making hcs about tim being a Barbie and Jason being a feminist and dick painting his nails is not progressive when Steph and cass are #cardboard cutouts or the vehicles through which the white men discover feminity is ok actually and nothing else #and then Duke and Damian are the token straights or allies. like y’all are so sick lmao

[bpdohwhatajoy]

This famous Twitter account reposted my meme AND GOT WAY MORE LIKES THAN WHEN I POSTED IT☹️
