seeing so many fellow creators' gifsets getting under 180 notes with an average reblog to like ratio of 1:3 is so disheartening. less and less people are putting out content cause it seems that no one cares anymore.

If you truly care about supporting creators at all, I encourage everyone to have a tracked tag in this economy whether you make content or not, you probably have mutuals who would love to share things with you and can't.

#also goes for creators who don't reblog much from other creators as stated recently in a post I saw everyone is part of the problem #and I feel like I tag the same 5 people all the time cause idk who to tag anymore so many people are inactive #many times I wish I could share things w ppl that I know they would like who aren't creators but they dont track a tag so 🤷🏻 #and just bc someone tags you doesnt mean you should feel obligated to reblog it. just puts things in your line of sight is all #I am once again asking u to share things w your followers (me) #BC MY DASH IS FUCKIN DEAD ALL THE TIME MAN

One day when i have time to deal with inevitable backlash I will write a post about how actually Taylor Kelly is one of the most compelling minor characters on 911 with a heartbreaking backstory that fully explains (but doesn’t excuse) why she does the things she does and ALSO that i think she & Lucy Donato should be in lesbians together

#classic case of leaving the guy who cheated on you for the girl he cheated with tbh #i have so many thoughts but most of them revolve around how buck betrays her first #& even though we know why he does it (hello abandonment issues) #Taylor’s betrayal /also/ stems from her abandonment issues and the fact that she’ll never know the truth of what happened to her mother #so she feels obligated to share every other truth she can find (even though it will never be enough) #something something i support women’s wrongs #taylor kelly #lucy donato #911 abc

wc fandom is lacking in a lot of ways but i gotta say the lack of acceptance of more fun out there au’s kills me. in other fandoms people will be like what if bert and ernie were a mermaid and a pirate and they traveled the world together and everyone’s like omg what if they were a mermaid and a pirate meanwhile someone makes a slightly more fantastical au here and that confessions blog gets like 10 asks about how people should just make their own original stuff

like

#deer rambles #anyways what if cinder was a mermaid and holly was a pirate what then #if you say people should correct original content you must ask why you feel entitled to see it #and you must ask if the artist was kind enough to share #would you engage with it and support it? #of course the rule of engagement is a two way street #no one is obligated to share and no one is obligated to engage #but if you demand on someone sharing then i kind of expect engagement

i love it/its pronouns sm. they mean so many different things to so many different people. to me “it” is a connection of myself and the rest of the world; unknown creatures are “it”, “it” will be a beautiful day outside, “it’s” been decomposing for weeks, look at that songbird; “it” is beautiful. and this sense of community I share with other parts of the world which we refer to as it, is an entirely different sensation from many other people who use it/its pronouns! for some people it is a rejection of society - it is a way to unshackle oneself from modern understandings of gender. for others it becomes almost celestial - “it” is like the stars, the sky; immutable and hard to dictate through word concepts. i love the versatility of meaning in it/its pronouns. man. sucks that people r weird about them.

#is me #also feel free to share what it/its pronouns mean to u. fellow it/its individuals. #i love hearing about other peoples experiences w gender. #but also no obligation. internet safety all that noise

hi everyone <3

I have a bit of a life update. To make a long story short, last week I was diagnosed with PTSD. I have been having a... very hard time coming to terms with that. For most of my life I believed I just had a bad anxiety disorder, but I am now realizing that is unfortunately not the case. The past couple months I have been in a near constant state of fight or flight, fear, panic, whatever you want to call it- without really realizing it. and man. it has been exhausting, mentally, physically, spiritually. I just thought it was normal to feel like this all the time. i assumed everyone felt like this. my therapist has helped me realize I am in a lot of pain right now and it is not normal. so. the good news is that there is an intensive trauma therapy that I will be doing for the next couple months that is going to really help me recover. i love and trust my therapist with my whole heart. there is a light at the end of the tunnel. i am finally getting the help i need. so. unfortunately I am going to step away from tumblr for a bit. i dont really want to do this, i love being on here. i love interacting with all the friends i've made here. kink has become a very important and healing part of my life. but it is just a little too much for me at the moment. I'm not sure when I will return, could be a couple weeks, a couple months. I'll return when I feel right. I feel like this may be a little odd to share here, but it's important to me to acknowledge and share that I have been having a really hard time. i tend to downplay when i'm in pain. i feel like people usually don't care about me (i know this is very very much not the case. im trying to convince my brain of that too.) its really hard for me to tell people when i am struggling, especially in my real life. so i am taking baby steps and starting here. so, until I return- chase your tails for me, roll in the grass, bark at the squirrels. take care of yourselves. if you are struggling, know youre loved. get the help you need. i will be curling up in my dog bed and taking a nap in the sun. ruff ruff. wag wag. much love to all of you.

#agh personal posts. i know this is mainly a dogboy kink blog and some people will not care. but this is my blog and i will share what i want #i am safe and okay. i am just.. struggling to accept that i am very very sick right now. i was raised to just push that shit way down. #im done doing that. i am going to have to feel all the pain to heal it. nervous but excited. ready but hesitant. #anyways. hi. i love what this blog has done for me. for what this community has done for me. i will be back. you cant get rid of me! #will be keeping an eye out for messages for the next couple days. but this post is mainly to give myself permission to take a step back. #its weird. i feel obligated to post here and am feeling guilty for putting myself first. but thats the trauma i guess! #anyways anyways anyways. if youve read all of this i love you. thank you for listening. see you soon. #jasperbarks

pls may i have some saltburn takes. i saw u liked my post abt oliver never having read the reading list and it made me giggle.

OH YES DUDE oh i Loved that post because it brings up actually something that for some reason i haven't seen discussed much. oliver's unreliable narration.

i have a brilliant, i think, genius four-question plan for making people understand saltburn, and it has worked before and i will maybe elaborate on it, but not right now. right now i'll talk about one of the questions.

who is oliver telling this story to, and why?

we've established that he's an unreliable narrator at least because it's the logical conclusion for a movie shot in a way that opens and closes with his narrative. but what does oliver being untruthful actually mean for what we know about anything and everything that happened. have you ever obsessed over this particular question. well. i have.

my hot take, first of all, is that oliver is not that smart. he's clever, but the point of the movie is that he's caught up in and driven by desire; desire, pointedly, in the moment, merging desire, adapting to circumstance and leading him on. his want is not concrete from the beginning. his want is insatiable hunger that grows.

so, okay, from the top. the whole meet-cute with felix? because of a punctured tire? eh. idk if that's true. the money thing at the bar, pretending to not have any while he actually did? eh, perhaps. chronologically he then lies to felix about his dad, and this is big, this is deliberate, this is what ties felix to him for good.

what if the first two instances were coincidences? like, felix genuinely in trouble then, oliver genuinely out of cash. makes sense to become attached and actually do something, something impulsive, drastic, when felix seems to be drifting away, and lie about his dad.

interjection: you might be saying, nadia, he lied about his family from the get-go. well of course. i didn't say he's not smart enough to clock what image of a damsel in distress felix would gobble up. i'm saying he didn't do it for the long game, because there was no long game to speak of, as narrator-oliver would have you believe. i think he wanted felix so badly in that moment of several months in oxford, i think he was so blinded that he would've said anything. and he did.

now, i've briefly talked about oliver's feelings about the invitation to saltburn, and i think this is very important here. in the moment, he couldn't possibly know what exactly this invitation could mean, in the long run, only that it is definitely the next step in progression of desire for felix. present-day oliver interjection, and i believed him, after felix said he could leave anytime, i read as a slip up, an admission that oliver didn't plan shit, or at least from the beginning he didn't. it lured him in as soon as he got there, gothic house driving mad-style. he held on to a dream of something elusive (felix as a friend? lover? forever-partner in whatever capacity? i want him so bad i don't care what he is as long as he's there? please? please?).

the other obvious hole to poke at is in the end. venetia very conveniently takes the razors he places for her, and while sure, it could be read as him just hinting at how he conveniently read her fragile state and took advantage of it, i don't buy it. (i'm honestly even tempted to suggest he met elspeth on accident, to then spin a pretty story for his own sake, but him keeping tabs on the surviving cattons all those years tracks with what we know about obsessive oliver; he's definitely known about her flat for a while.)

but those are all minor stuff. i get completely if you think i'm reading too much into it and this is all just a headcanon after all, to be fair. BUT. but.

my second big take is that oliver was/is madly in love with felix. i know, shocking. but you have probably seen people say he wasn't. i will elaborate.

i wasn't in love with him. i loved him. i hated him. what does this sound like. have you ever had a friend come to you after a breakup fuming and telling you how they'll never end up with this asshole for sure and then get back together with him and then break up and say the same thing again.

i loved him, but i wasn't in love with him. i know everyone thought i was, but i wasn't. have you never told anyone something of the sort, specifically the last part, to emphasize just how it's everyone around you that's kinda hung up on whatever it is, and you've moved way past it, actually. have you never told yourself that.

i have. i know many other people who have, too. so, who is oliver telling this story to, and why? there's no one but dead elspeth in front of him. there's no one but himself. fun fact: each time you recall an event, it distorts under the influence of the mix of past and present emotions. each time you recall, you mold memory (source, e.g., x). the way i personally see it, oliver, for whatever reason, retells the story in order to solidify his own memory of it in the way that he wants to remember it. whatever he says, this is his final word, and this is his final truth.

this is also why details slip through, like my beloved i believed him, like the emotional i hated him growing into self-convincing, misleadingly dismissive, definitely unsure i hated him by the end. those are the true emotions that he recalls, those are the times that are hard to rewrite, for whatever reason.

of course, he hated them all. but before that, he loved felix to the point of blindly following where felix's desire led oliver, at least the way oliver perceived felix's desire. it failed, crucially, when felix's desire brought them to the center of the labyrinth, where oliver could not be the desired anymore.

my third hot take in connection to this is that oliver did not know he would kill felix until the very night he did it. he didn't know it, i think, until the last hour, until felix refused to reconcile completely, until he made his blood run cold. i also briefly mention it here, specifically how farleigh is tragically connected to felix's death, in my opinion. this tracks with, again, my strong belief that oliver lies, lies and lies throughout this whole story about wanting to take everything from felix from the beginning; no, he fucking didn't. he wanted felix. he wanted felix to be his. that was number one priority. he wanted felix and whatever else came with it, undoubtedly, but not the other way around.

paradoxically, he also wanted to be felix; he wanted to be him and be with him just as us tumblr people can often relate and the tragedy is that you always have to choose. felix pushed him away, so there was no other choice but to take what was left of felix that oliver could take. hence the clothes wearing, the table scene talk, the refusal to leave.

felix chose not to choose oliver, so oliver became felix. it's his fault. felix promised oliver could leave. felix left instead. what was oliver to do.

but to your point about the books, i think it could be either way, actually. i think he could have lied about it because technically that's also in character for him, he was performing for an audience of his tutor. but i also think that he was, genuinely, a nerd before he came to oxford, and he didn't, and still doesn't, have any friends, and he hates his sisters and his mother and is miserable. he's the perfect profile of someone who'd read king james' bible over the summer, and then some, imma be honest.

so, yes. i think oliver lies about most things in saltburn and i think he's pathetic, lost, confused, grieving, angry, horny, down bad and in denial. and i fucking love him. i so fuckin do.

Honkai Star Rail questions

I spent all night last night catching up on events in Honkai Star Rail, and somehow I ended up thinking about whether I'd seen any posts like this one. I couldn't remember any, so I decided to make my own. Hopefully it will be fun for someone as we now test out our free Dr. Ratios and wait for 2.0 to arrive!

Note that I'm keeping this one positive, because my mood is "yay this is a fun game I'm happy it's here" and that's the general vibe I want to put out into the world!

Thinking big thoughts about The Hotel cast playing D&D together

The Manager is definitely the Dungeon Master. She gets to control everything and keep everything in order. The most straightforward narrator ever. Definitely bullies The Owner every chance she gets. Strictly adheres to the written rules

The Lobby Boy... oh boy he's a dice goblin. He's got dice pouring out of every hole in his uniform. With his bug motif, I'd say he's a druid player. The Manager only fudges rolls for him, everyone else can suck it up. Locathah druid

The Owner doesn't wanna be there but plays because Madam Hotel wants him to. Probably plays a basic fighter so he doesn't have to be very involved. Definitely plays a kenku for them crow aesthetics. Kenku fighter

The Bellhop is the murderiest murderhobo to ever roll the dice! A rogue that kills everything. NPCs, random animals, the other people at the table. People have to clean their dice after each session. She's probably got one of those sets where all the dice are weapons. Goblin rogue

The Concierge actually takes the game seriously, probably plays a paladin or graviturgy wizard. Min-maxed to the extreme. Never rolls below a 15, The Manager hates it. Human paladin or wizard

The Auditor definitely made some kind of warlock that totally isn't obsessed with Madam Hotel her patron. Psshh naw this totally isn't a self-insert fanfic. Kisses ass at the table and just fixated on Madam Hotel's character. Thri-kreen warlock

Madam Hotel is the bard. Mind flayer bard
