It's so frustrating the way everyone who pushes back at tumblr for like, profiting off the content made by it's userbase, failing to moderate basic hatespeech, beginning to implement data collection for ad revenue, suppressing LGBT content etc are always met with these baffled fluoride stare idiots who are like "huh but the site needs to make money? Why don't you just leave if you don't want that?" Like we haven't all grown up watching the entire internet change so dramatically from conception to its current state of trying to monetize absolutely fucking everything, like we are wrong for being resentful that every update to this website we've grown up with has made it more and more like the cesspool of Facebook/twitter where users are treated as money cows first and foremost. "Don't like it just leave" and go where exactly? "Don't you want corporations to make money?" No, in fact I don't want there to be any corporations at all because I'm not a liberal bootlicking cuckold.
What the tumblr forever stans can't possible comprehend is the fact that some of us want society to be fundamentally different including this fucking website and we are right to be mad at the ways it has been made progressively worse with every update. And the reason we are coming for marketplace specifically is because this site is trying to be our friend to sell us crap products when it has don't nothing to support its userbase in years. And if you're falling for it you're either deeply stupid or fundamentally politically different from me, regardless Im not bothering arguing with you anymore.
So yeah Im never going to like this website again and if staff wants to fucking ban me for that they can, it would be a fucking blessing.

tag game: 9 people you'd like to get to know better
thank you!! @pomegranates-and-onyx and @lowoliet!!! <3 I'm missed doing these tbh. I reordered the items so the sequence makes more sense xoxo
Favorite color: I usually say purple but I don't really feel that strongly
Relationship status: lmaoo I'm aro (greyro-ish?). I actually have long thought I would like to fake-date/date for fun, but just the other day went "I still haven't kissed anybody and I know plenty of ppl have a 1st older than me but tbh I don't think I ever will". Other than that, I've got a few friends I really like, a few friends I kinda don't, and some people in between. Solid nuclear family tho 👍
Currently consuming (eating, by the looks of the trend): Waiting on a response from a friend to see if her cookies (mint & chocolate) are tree nut-free. I hope I can eat them; they look great.
Last song: "Capital M-E" by Taking Back Sunday (I cheated a little b/c last night I listened to a bunch of random songs lol)
Current watching: Dan and Phil? Hbomb's latest video? theoretically, Death Note, Cunk on Earth, and Akira and Akira.
Last movie: Die Hard haha
Three ships: lawlight, tntduo … hm, Arthur/Eames from Inception is a favorited Ao3 tag I do regularly go back to
First ship: Not *too* sure either but I think it HAS to be Snowbaz b/c of the Fangirl -> Tumblr blog stalker thing & that book introducing me to fandom (whoops, that 'thing's not universal knowledge... after Fangirl I scoured Rainbow Rowell's blog which led me to gingerhaze.tumblr.com (he did the cover art) and b/c I couldn't read Nimona online I read his blog instead. b4 that I only went to youtube.com and minecraft.net) WAIT NO. I've always considered genderswapped Johnlock (SheJane) to be my first ship hahaha. (yes, it had to be genderswapped. reality was different back then)
Currently working on: sooo *twirls hair* there's these Hamlet scene analyses (plural)... that were due today.... also some Calc I think... my portfolio for a writing contest... Blind Justice Light Yagami drawing, if the motivation holds. And my Death Note fics I listed here :D
tagging @detective-horse-girl @l3mon-boy @cmstyles19 @sophaeros @i-could-bee-an-angel & seconding @drfurter well @novaliae I know you pretty well but you too of course :) no pressure to anybody if you'd rather not do it tho! & feel free to join in the fun and let me know u would like to foster mutual affection :D

hey new followers,
am I getting recommended at signup or something? how are you finding me? (replies to this post are appreciated!)
btw if you're default avatar gang right now, everyone will instantly block you because they think you're a bot. reblog some posts (it's like retweeting, but you reblog as liberally as you'd 'like' tweets; hold ctrl+click the 'reblog' icon for instant-reblog in one click), change the avatar, add a blog title/bio and you're good. 'but that's work' this is your new home, don't skip the vacuuming and put some curtains up
hi and welcome btw

oh my god people are genuinely defending calciumcat?
idk if you guys are aware of this but just because a transphobe shows basic fucking respect to trans people it doesn't make them better than other transphobes. the fact of the matter is that even if she shares ""different views"" she's still a transphobe. the wording of her post also implies she's against nonbinary people (heavy emphasis on male and female), which I'm pretty sure a large majority of this fandom are in one form or another.
I don't care if she's your favourite writer, artist, whatever, you have to be critical of her. you have to be critical of anyone you look up to otherwise you end up with a borderline cult.
just because she's phrased it nicely and calmly does not make her less of a transphobe.

So I had completely forgotten about Mario The Music Box until a video popped up on my feed about it. It’s feels weirdly nostalgic to see it again, I remember binge watching “all deaths” or “lore explained” videos about it. Some things never change I guess :>
