#WE'RE MUTUALS FOR A REASON

[dragontummy]

Tumblr would literally rather arbitrarily delete the accounts of trans women on this site with uncharacteristic amounts of speed than address even one genuine instance of harassment. They've already lost one harassment lawsuit and they immediately decided it was more worth their time to continue on the exact same path. They KNOW what they're doing. With staff like this, the only way to see genuine change on this site is going to be to make it more of a problem for them to not address this issue.

#fuck 'em. #every time another one of our mutuals loses their account to this shit we grow more and more sick of tumblr as a whole #the only reason we're still here it all is genuinely because this is the only social media site we use anymore

hey hi hello

I know we've all got a lot going on but me and my partner have found ourselves in a rly tight spot and could use some help

January was hell and I lost my job unexpectedly so I won't be getting much if any of a paycheck, and we found out today that my partners check is gonna be significantly less than we expected. Pretty much all of his paycheck is going towards rent and bills we gotta take care of immediately, but that's gonna leave us w/ next to nothing for groceries, gas and medical visits/medication. We've already had to put off paying rent and our phone bill, have used both our borrows on c4shapp, and have pawned almost all our electronics trying to cover last months expenses, so we don't have a lotta options left

I'm trying to get enough to cover some groceries and gas, so if anyone can throw smth our way I'd be extremely grateful

#we're gonna hit up some food banks and pawn the rest of our electronics #but i have a SUPER limited diet due to medical reasons so theres not a lot i can actually get from food banks #ive been trying to put off asking as long as possible but i feel so fucked rn #ive been so ridiculously stressed out i feel like im gonna explode #mutual aid #trans mutual aid #queer mutual aid

Idk who needs to hear this but everyone is entitled to their own interpretation of fictional characters and you shouldn't try to convince them otherwise because everyone is entitled to their own opinion. Having a biased approach and interpretation is part of the universal human experience and everyone should respect that. Just because you disagree does not mean you should voice that to someone unprompted.

#Tldr we're all biased actually and it's ok to disagree and leave it at that #What's NOT ok however is to try and convince someone to have ur exact interpretation #Especially if a person has rather heavy reasons for disliking a character. Just leave them be omg #spy x family #sxf #fandom rant #A healthy fandom is based on mutual RESPECT #U can disagree with someone and still respect them as a person and their feelings

Please learn to use tags.

Half the stuff you share is Hilarious, and half is unhinged fucking garbage.

It would be nice to be able to filter out the later half...

my sincerest apologies. shall i run each post i think about reblogging by you, O Great Anon, so that you may deem if i should tag it "#funny" or "#not funny"?

#the only unhinged fucking garbage is how you think this is a reasonable thing to send #i stopped caring about follower count on this site ages ago and honestly do not care if you unfollow for this #if we're mutuals then theres like a 50/50 chance i care. if we talk outside of tumblr then id be hurt but id more just lose respect for you #for thinking fucking anon hate is a reasonable way to approach this #anyways i run this blog for me and i simply do not feel like spending 1/3 of my time online typing up the same 'txt' 'video' 'art' tags #if it bothers you that badly youre free to unfollow. if you send anything else on this point youre getting blocked

the fascinating thing about the maze runner books vs the movies is that they're both tragedies, but just...different kinds. in the books no matter what wicked did, they never got close to a cure. it was all for nothing: all the torture, all the death, all the money and effort spent trying to cure something that was just unstoppable. the world burned while a few hundred immunes survived, and there was no other way the story could have gone.

but in the movies they were so close. thomas was the cure. they had it in their hands and could have saved everyone, but they were just too late. wicked was destroyed, the last city fell, and with it the world's last hope for a cure. they almost got the cure in time. they almost made it in time to save newt. they almost won.

#tragedy where it was all inevitable vs tragedy where victory was within reach but it was just too late for everyone. fight. #anyway i am insane about this tonight. good day #just watched the death cure deleted scenes for the first time and man...................................................................... #the way all the complexity to gally's character was practically left out of that movie. what if i explode. #also the way everyone hates teresa for LITERALLY no reason like girl........god forbid morally gray women do anything. #honestly while we're talking. thomas is morally gray too. #he's choosing himself + his friends over the entire world. while teresa is sacrificing her friends to save the world. #two sides of the same morally gray coin etc etc. i will defend teresa until the day i die btw. #not idly do i choose my blog title. #but anyway it's just insane to me how much moral complexity and nuance there is in these books/movies #and how much of it was left OUT of the movies too. litcherally insane. #oooough.....role reversal au.................. #tmr mutuals here's some food. i havent maze runner posted in ages but the brainworms are coming back #winter speaks #the maze runner

Caught in the vicious cycle of reblogging "please mutuals message me" posts, hoping someone will take it as a sign and befriend me, and never making the first step, even though I know others are probably doing the same.

#tumblr culture #fandom #mutuals #thoughts #diary pages #the Sisyphean fate of an introvert looking for friends #many of us are probably socially traumatised from bullying #i say because we're voluntarily in the internet's madhouse #you are either shy #or develop a cat syndrome when you force others to come to you #so you only interact only when you're seeked out #you only interact when seeked out to preserve pride #which of course is important #right then #@ all of my mutuals #if you reblog this i'll slide into your dms #if you reblog this and we're not mutuals please slide into my dms #if you'd like tho mayve i'm just an ass and I haven't followed you for whatever reason #i'm serious

acephobic people are actually so wild to me. like why??? do you care?? if a stranger wants to have sex or not?? it's ridiculous

#just leave people be #nobody is obligated to have sex #and it's entirely reasonable to have no desire to partake in it #sex isn't what makes us human #it's completely fine to enjoy it #and to find value in having it #but you have no right to judge others if they don't share those feelings #we're all the same species #we're all people #and someone's identity shouldn't negate the basic respect that should come with talking to a fellow human being #it's as impossible to 'stop' asexuality as it is to force someone to enjoy a food they dislike #everyone is different but we're all fundamentally people #and should treat each other as such #sorry for the rant #one of my mutuals reblogged lots of ace-positive stuff #and so many of the acephobic replies in them were just #so infuriating #we all have the right to an opinion #and we all have the right to be treated with respect #so before you state one of yours that is abjectly hateful towards anyone #stop for a moment #and think about why the heck you'd want to share that with them #there's enough hatred in this world already #we should be supporting people #not putting them down #asexual #i'm not ace myself #but plenty of people close to me are #the rest of my tags got cut off <//3 #too many opinions <///3

Okay mutuals? All mutuals? Every single one of you, even my beloved irl friends? I'm going to need you to start tagging your spider posts with fucking SOMETHING. Fully four SEPARATE people have put untagged close up spider images/gifs on my dash. I have EVERYTHING blocked through tumblr. spider. spiders. arachnophobia. arachnid. tarantula. you name it. i follow people who fucking OWN spiders with no issues because they tag. but you? you have failed me. and the last two started giving me abt-to-have-a-seizure symptoms (yes, intense exposure has given me seizures in the past).

For my own fucking health, I'm going to have to start unfollowing you, yes even you my good buddies, if you cannot consistently goddamn tag for spiders. This is becoming a serious health issue for me and no amount of DMing people to remind them seems to be doing the trick. You. Could. Put. Me. In. The. Hospital.

Tag them. Tag them with whatever you fucking want, but TAG THEM. No, saying spider in the post doesn't count because when I block for content, which I have done in the past, it takes out all spiderman posts, anything that even mentions spiders or spiderwebs, as well as any fucking post by people who have spider in the url somewhere which u may notice is SEVERAL WELL KNOWN PEOPLE I LIKE.

#solitaretalk #and yes for some FUCKING reason it's only been mutuals #if we're mutuals and in two weeks you realize I don't follow you anymore it's because u almost gd killed me again

[seonghwacore]

actually sad seeing those tiktoks saying men and women cant be mutual friends without feelings cus dudes, im sorry that ur friends have only ever seen your face value, literally.

#ann.txt #me and my circle are averagely attractive imo but the point is we never brings out the topic of “if we have to date each other-” #cus we value each other not only from appearance but the mutual adventures and misadventures and that we can actually stand each other's ass #in thise hard times and not being annoyingly clingy #and even though that their girlfriends still respect us the girl dudes. and we totally never have the idea to date each other #and all my dudes are generally more emotionally attached than me and my girl bff #if the dudes in ur circle ever bring out the “if we should date each other who would u date” game onto the table #its a sign from God to run #and more importantly #my dudes really feel more like siblings who hang out rather than acquaintances #im actually so proud of them we're not insecure about our respective relationship with our own lovers for it #to be a reason to stay away from this circle of motherfuckers

[thaliagrayce]

i've been talking abt my voltron playlists and @iveofficiallygonemad asked to hear them and i want to share with anybody who wants!! i know they're not perfect, i'm working on them & trying to make them better. if you have any recommendations for any of them, let me know!! there's like A Lot and i want to give a lil explanation for most of them, so i'm putting them under the cut ^-^

SO first i have my favorite one <3 it's just. all of them. it's the whole team. it's a mess and it's a bunch of different genres because it's them fighting over the aux cord on a road trip. it's them trying to make each other laugh or annoy each other or play something catchy enough it will infect everyone in the vicinity with brain worms.

Hunk: i'm pretty happy with my Hunk playlist! chill vibes. he strikes me as the kind of guy who listens to calm music to try to find his own calm, and that's what i got here :)

Pidge: this is messier and less cohesive than my usual playlist because frankly i think pidge would have a shit taste in music. all over the board. this is a mix of meme songs and 8-bit covers and vocaloid and stuff that i think pidge would genuinely connect with, and i think pidge listens to all their music on shuffle without any regards for genre or mood because they're a gremlin. nobody gives pidge sole control of the aux.

Coran hears 80's music for the first time and loses his mind. He thinks ABBA is humanity's single greatest achievement.

Lance: i have ideas about where I'm going with this but haven't really settled yet. Lance seems like the kind of boy that loves to dance (is that canon? i forgot) so most of these are Bops That Make You Move in some way or another. he likes to present an upbeat face to the world, so there's no angsting in this playlist! we are clinging to the things that make us happy with both hands until our knuckles turn white!

Keith: i'm gonna be honest. i made him a playlist but i honestly don't think he cares about music very much. it's very important to some people! he's just not one of them! i haven't cracked this playlist open in a while but i'm pretty sure it's full of songs that i think he would conceivably train/work out to.

Shiro: this playlist involves the dumbest headcanon i have for shiro that has just not left me alone since i first thought of it. most of the playlist reflects the fact that he had an emo phase in middle school (that one isn't a headcanon, you just have to look at him to know) but BUT there are a few songs on here that are on here because. little known fact. he also went through a Twilight phase that he told nobody about. (keith knows. keith was there.) he has the entire twilight soundtrack memorized. he moved past the story but the music stays forever. he used to daydream about slow dancing to Flightless Bird, American Mouth. the first time Coran mentions that they have to avoid a place because there's a supermassive black hole there, he has to bite his tongue in order to keep a straight face. do NOT ask me why i believe this so wholeheartedly.

Allura's playlist sucks right now. I think it's because in my heart of hearts i know that, were she on earth today, she would go fucking nuts for taylor swift. i have ambivalent feelings for taylor swift. i cannot do allura justice like this. if you see my vision and have recs as to what might actually fit her, PLEASE.

Klance: i haven't done it yet but i'm gonna go through this and sort it to be a sort of progression of their relationship, starting with the more combative Rivalry songs, then slipping into "oh shit oh shit" songs, then maybe ending on the more lighthearted purely romantic songs <3

(i have two songs in a shallura playlist which does not at all encapsulate how much i'm obsessed with them. the tiny cop inside my head is just constantly screaming at me that i'm going to get yelled at for liking shallura. i am going to kill the cop inside my head.)

#mj talks #oooooh i don't know if i actually want to put this in the show tag. that's a lot of people. that's a lot of people that might see this. #fuck it we ball #voltron #anyway. as i said if you like music and you have songs that you think fit please send em over #also who wants to talk about shallura? i want to talk about shallura. #i rewatched the first ~3 seasons (the best part of the show and some of season 3) with my roommate a while back and. #ngl if we're strictly talking about the show itself and not fanworks. i care about shallura SO much more than i care about klance. #oh i should probably tag #klance #in case anyone has that blacklisted and just doesn't wanna see it #BACK TO MY POINT. #rewatch seasons 1 and 2 and you will see there was a REASON everyone included shallura in the background of their fics #and it wasn't just shoving 'space mom' and 'space dad' together #there is a very real and very compelling dynamic there. the mutual respect. the connection that comes with taking responsibility. #watch shiro's whole deal after allura gets herself captured so that he can go free and try telling me it's all in my head. just TRY. #anyway i have a lot of complicated thoughts about shiro's sexuality and most of them boil down to I Don't Think It Was Planned #i think they shoved it in last minute because somebody higher up #(not the writers i don't blame u writers i know that you have people breathing down your necks telling you what you can and can't do) #some higherup didn't like any queer storylines that might have been in the works and pulled them from the show #but then there was fan backlash because... gay people are loud now? people wanted A Queer In Space? wild thought #so they had to save their ass and actually deliver on what they had promised in interviews/on the internet/idk i didn't keep up too much #because it was so clumsily revealed! there was no buildup! #it felt very shoehorned to me unfortunately. when a) they had already built a solid and compelling potential relationship for shiro #(see above) #and b) klance was? right there? like. dude. you /had/ to have seen that. or at least some of it???? #backstory dead fiance was not the best move vis a vis queer representation and i reject him #if you want me to care about a relationship try going back to storytelling basics and Show Don't Tell :) #not giving you brownie points for that 'queer representation' :) #anyway. that's my shallura manifesto in the notes.

why doesn't anybody talk about schrodinger's mental illness? seriously i think i'm onto something here

#nightmare.personal #i'm starting to think i'm over it like #i've been so happy lately and i'm having these weird nightmares about my family for no reason but like #i have FRIENDS and i'm taking CARE OF MYSELF and like i thought i looked super pretty today #but i am freaking out a bit about how nice this one friend of mine is being to me #which is so weird bc he'/s like the safest guy to be around ever but suddenly i feel insanely unsafe #hm. maybe i'll be fixed if i go to bed #ugh i have classes tmrw which are FINE classes but like. work. and then also therapy #and therapy's good just like. ugh. Ugh. maybe i'll talk to her about me hating my gf's mom's profession and my moral crisis #bc guys it's kind of awkward i really don't fuck with landlords but my gf's mom is um . Kind of one of those #anyway i think i'm better honestly like the klavier and dahlia stuff is starting to just feel like an inside joke #something earlier happened and i was like klav would like this. andi pictured him a bit in my brain as how he looked #and like. we laughed. but i don't think he was there at all #and the BPD stuff isn't happening like i've not mood swung at all lately i don't think #so maybe it was all in my head andi'm fine now? that could be it honestly like. i'm fine. which! #is weird and abrupt but hey i'm into it. y'know. whatever #it would kind of suck if it turns out i was perfectly fine i was just overthinking it but. hey #honestly whatever. people are fine i'm fine i'm safe and the nightmares are stupid #i need to see this guy anyway tmrw because i invited him along to grab breakfast with me and our mutual friend #we're like a trio so i figure it's fine. hopefully the dining hall isn't still on fire i need to fuck up that pomegranate acai drink so bad #it's SO good you guys. but like. idk. i feel happy like perfectly happy. like i don't think much is wrong #these weird feelings of dread and hovering on the edges of panic attacks sometimes but that's really it #ugh. i hope the lecture hall has good chairs #sorry i cannot focus on this i'm restless rn. i need. like. something #i think me and my GF might break up soon bc of the parents work and the sex thing but like. #someone lobotomize me i'm literally fine what's going ONNNN

[depoteka]

whenever i open my following blogs list and notice i'm not mutuals with somebody anymore i can't help but wonder what the last straw was

#am i annoying? </33 #btw don't worry if we're mutuals rn and if at any point in the future you'll feel like unfollowing me i won't hold it against you #hell i also unfollowed some mutuals in the past for various reasons #and it's ok. i don't think they're terrible people or whatever #maybe i just didn't vibe with that they reblog anymore

[t-t-p-d]

why is this guy texting me like ???? /GEN

#he's been making convo w me for the past few days like continuously #but somehow we're never online at the same time #wheneve i respond there's like hours before he replies again #and i've replied him instantly too but he just goes offline?? #and my replies are pretty dry too but he's still continuing the convo #so what do you want 😭😭😭 #also it would be really random if he's doing this to make friends because we met under the most random circumstances #not like 'schoolmates' or something normal 💀 so he literally has no reason to continue texting me? #he literally asked for my number from our mutual.... #ok atp im still replying him for the plot 🫡 where will this go we'll see #text

[whypolar]

I'm not in a hurry to try Super Robot Wars— I think there's still a lot more mecha media I need to experience before I can enjoy a massive multi-series crossover as its meant to be enjoyed— but I've already got it lodged in my brain that the first one I try will be T. For an objectively very silly reason

(Bravern character designer recommended it on twitter and called it "the best one for yuri")

#remibloggue #also a mutual talked about it positively not too long ago for other reasons #so we're 2 for 2 on indirect reccomendations #also they put harlock in this thing??? my old buddy harlock???

[kyuala]

hmm

#having Thoughts that maybe i shouldnt be having #so i have a friend who's handsome hot nice kind sweet funny etc he's like the whole package #yesterday one of our friends told him i didnt have his contact saved on my phone and we (jokingly) made a whole thing out of it #so he took the convo from our gc to our private messages to let me know he had mine saved WITH A SUNFLOWER EMOJI NEXT TO MY NAME #bc ATTENTION according to him i am little flower and im radiant like the sun so = sunflower #like 🥹🥹🥹🥹❓❓❓❓ #n then he told me i didnt have to change my pfp bc i alr looked pretty in it then he called me his love and today #we're all going to a party our friends' cheerleading squad is hosting right and he won't go bc he'll be busy that day #i was moping in the gc bc i wanted the promotional prices (im the only one who doesnt go to their uni n non student prices r higher) and #they weren't available anymore so he messaged me to tell me he'd help me go?? i said how he said he'd pay me the difference i was like 💀 #so i said okay it's only like 10 bucks and he sent me 20 like hello? i know this doesnt sound like much but we're all broke college students #so like? why did he do it #he said if he wasn't able to go he'd like to at least help me go then sent me extra w a cute little message telling me to enjoy the party #and have fun and calling me a sweet pet name now im like . Confused #bottom line is idk if he's flirting and i probably won't bc a) he's already said he doesnt know to make a move on pretty girls and b) here's #the catch: we have a mutual friend who confessed to me like 3? months ago. i turned her down for a number of reasons n i also knew they had #hooked up before so when i said no ig they started hooking up/going out again? and i wasnt fully aware of that until like. last month #and prior to that i hit on him at a party at our friend's house and all he did was stand there kinda speechless 💀 #so i took it as a no n moved on but now idk if its bc like. he was alr w her or he just got shy or if he actually just didnt want it at all #and im just imagining things. and circling back to it: i guess i wont find out bc 1) he won't do anything 2) idk whats the current status of #their relationship (ig over bc they weren't all over e/o at our last function) and 3) even if theyre not together anymore i absolutely would #not try anything behind our friend's back or w/o her knowledge or consent bc they did have something doesnt rly matter what it was and #shes still my friend above all so i gotta be mindful of her feelings for me AND for him and abt us or whatever #so yea thats something thats been on my mind since yesterday #im not like. suffering over it btw its just something on my mind that i wanted to share #i probably wont even do anything about it and then forget abt it next week lol #mari.txt #but also feel free to like comment on this or something i love it when yall r nosey lmfao

[piplupod]

#slash joke for the help. nobody can help w this HDSFGJSKL #but the rest of it is slash srs unfortunately SIGH. #me: i will DM this mutual to say nice words to them bc i dont want them feeling alone in xyz thing #me immediately after doing that: oh my god i think i should be put to death. nobody should ever talk to me ever actually #and then if/when they respond i'll be like. oh okay. maybe i was overreacting. maybe its okay. #and then end up still feeling kind of scared afterwards LMAO #(if we're mutuals and/or friends and i never dm u its bc i am so fucking scared of saying smth wrong that i just avoid talking altogether) #(but if u dm me first then i WILL respond most of the time. if i dont respond its bc i got too scared or lost track of the memory dsgjkl) #(i am working on this though bc i know it sucks to reach out to ppl and have them not respond !!! u can always nudge me in DMs!) #(also if i never reach out first its bc i tend to assume everyone hates DMs for some reason and so i get scared im gonna annoy u HFDSJKL) #HEY TEAM I THINK MAYBE MY BRAIN IS LIKE.
