Tumblr pls be normal about morally complex characters. Stop going 0 or 100 on their morality. Stop ignoring the interesting and unique story telling being presented to you in favour of going “nono that’s my UwU sugar plum sweet baby boi baby, disregard the canon bc I actually only want wholesome vibes from my horror games”

#fnaf spoilers #fnaf ruin spoilers #yeah this is is about eggory #bc the way people are trying to make it out that Gregory is actually the nicest child ever and he can do no wrong because he’s a child #is so simplistic and boring man #from what I gathered this is a pushback against matpat who thinks Gregory is an evil robot #and like y’all are valid to hate matpat but don’t stoop to the man’s level and play into his poorly analysed videos that are just made to #get a reaction and get clicks #imo gregory could totally pull an asshole move and let his friends die if it was for the greater good and that doesn’t mean I hate him #Gregory has been shown to make sacrifices #and he could have an arguably good reason to do what he did #the mimic was dangerous and would’ve killed multiple if loose #for the record I don’t think he intended Cassie to die I think his mic cut out and the elevator fell on its own #i don’t think it was the mimic either btw bc narratively that just kills the momentum #I’m just tired of people uwuifying gregboy so much #and accusing the game of wrongly portraying him as evil bc it just seems like #it seems like mischaracterisation idk #I’m not saying Gregory is mean or murderous for no reason either #he’s nuanced and there’s reasons for why he’s like this #sorry if this isn’t tagged right

okay waitt this is making me step back and think. bc i Am always saying that i’d hc hal as aromantic if barry hadn’t swooped in and changed everything

man. is That the solution?? is demiromantic the answer to the ‘aromantic -> fully committing to a romantic relationship’ pipeline?? this is very new ground for me, i gotta ponder this

#everything is starting to click for me now bc i always said he’d be aromantic #not bc of his non-committal partyboy reputation #well. that too actually #but just bc of how lost he is abt the romantic order of operations #and how relationships always seemed to have an ulterior meaning (not to be mistaken with an ulterior motive) #and how he has no awareness of romantic consequences #and how his little flings never mean anything to him yet he’s dated/flirted with his friends’ exes on numerous occasions #like he genuinely doesn’t know why it’s so hard for him and why he always has to make it so hard for other ppl #being demiromantic but not finding out bc you’re so hellbent on retreating to ‘simpler’ relationships out of fear of intimacy #very interesting. this is rly opening my eyes #hal jordan #green lantern #dc #danbles #aro

I don’t know if I just haven’t found the right poetry yet, if I’m engaging with it wrong, or if poetry just isn’t for me, but man I wish I understood and connected with poetry on the level the rest of y’all seem to it looks nice

#poetry #everyone talks about it so highly #and so many people express themselves through it #and I don’t know if it’s a me thing with a very niche type I haven’t found yet #or if I just need to learn how to read it better #but like. it’s just good at best for me #I see what they’re doing I can analyze themes and such #but it just. doesn’t hit!! #but maybe I’m reading poetry that isn’t right for me #I connected with one stanza of one poem once #and it was in the borderlands #since there was a quote I really connected with #but that’s all there’s ever been #we’re reading poetry in class and people are going on about it #rightfully so! I can tell this is a talented and celebrated and leading poet #but I just. I’m not there #I’m not being consumed #like so many others seem to be #it just doesn’t click #and I wish it did

6 year old me was actually so right for fixating so intensely on C-3PO. One decade later and he’s still a skrungly pathetic little beast of man.

debilitating anxiety and bad knees? AND he’s gay?? just like me fr

#so what if I copypasted my personality from a droid when I was a child. what of it. #nah that doesn’t seem right im a silver tone person; gold doesn’t look right with my complexion #have I mentioned that my knees click whenever I crouch? #i could never be an rpg character in a stealth challenge. the cracking would alert the guards #like whenever im just walking around normally not trying to be sneaky I tend to just spawn into rooms and scare people by accident #but when someone’s asleep and I’m actively trying to be quiet?? snap crackle pop babeyy #C3PO #threepio #Star Wars #sw c3po #c3po sw #star wars c3po #c3po Star Wars #🤡.txt #sorry for talking so much in the tags. it’ll definitely happen again #my sleep meds are kicking in

me internally when i’m trying to respect and recognise that my dad has unaddressed autism that impacts the way he handles social interractions while also trying to not just excuse the shitty insensitive behaviour that has absolutely contributed to my mental health issues

#it’s like. haha yeah he handled that situation terribly but remember it wasn’t intentional and he doesn’t understand how that came across!! #i can’t be mad at him i can’t take it personally and get upset haha. hahaha. #and also it’s like. being autistic isn’t an excuse to be a dick. being autistic doesn’t mean you have to like. emotionally damage ur kid ✌🏻 #which i AM. growing up with him has fucked me up!!! and i’m allowed to be mad at that i’m allowed to be upset!!!!!!!! #but also oh god is that shitty of ME??? is that insensitive???? do i need to just be more empathetic and understanding #but ALSO also. when ur a kid that shit doesn’t matter. when ur a kid and ur dad is making you cry that doesn’t matter. #and those years of damage stick with you even when ur older and trying to be mature and understanding #literally this evening started with me trying to do something nice for him. trying to give him a gift. actually literally giving him a gift. #and it has ended with me feeling fucking….. shit. #and disrespected. and useless. #i try so fucking hard with this man and with our relationship and every fucking time i try to connect with him he throws it back in my face #like. hey! you’ve been saying how much you want to play gran turismo 7!!! i will loan you my PS5 for a while bcus i’m not playing anything #and i will BUY YOU the fucking car game for you to play it while me and my mum are away on our girlie beach holiday #like i will happily and enthusiastically do those things for you because you have been so vocal about wanting to play this game!!! #so it will make you happy right? it will be something positive for you to enjoy!!! right?!!!???? #i will bring my console down to the family tv room for you and i will send you the money so you can buy the game!!!! #oh. oh you’ve clicked around the main playstation menu for 2mins and then turned it off to watch the news. and then just open ur laptop. #not even gonna buy the game huh. just gonna open ur laptop and zone out and act line i’m not even in the room. oh ok. ok ok. #not even a fucking thank you. not even a HINT of recognition. ok ok. ok. ok. now you’re literally ignoring me when i talk to you. ok. ok. #and like!!!! i know this seems so dumb and minor and insignificant but you have to understand. it has been 25 years of this shit. #25 years of me trying to make this man happy and 25 years of him rejecting all of those attempts. #and 25 years of……. a lot of other shit also.

I’ve seen this Secret Drawing Box thing around, and it looked super fun! Feel free to send me some doobles :]

#basically you just click the link. draw a little doodle. and it anonymously sends it to my drawing box! #I thought it would be neat to mess around with #secret drawing box #my rambles #ahhh I wish the link looked better but it’s being difficult rn #also it seems the servers are being a little funky so if it doesn’t load just wait a minute

tabletops are fun :)

#i saw a post a few days ago that was hard on ''narrative focused'' players being like #''seems like you don’t actually like dnd you should just do forum rp lol'' #and i was like :/ #yea i’m not a rules hound but the mechanics and dice rolls add something you can’t achieve in just free form rp #i get the point of the post and it’s true i do think some people who play dnd would be happier with other less regimented game systems #or with just other forms of rp #but i also think it’s not an issue of saying ''don’t like it? do something else'' #people play differently! sorry you’re having difficulties with your groups playstyle #hope you find a group you click with better idk #i had a really really excellent time talking with my friends about the games we play together last night #and now i’m prepping to dm in an hour #and idk i’m just feeling like. it’s so fun to tell a story with your friends #and i enjoy the framework that rules/dice give you for certain actions #but it doesn’t have to be a nasty thing like to recommend other forms of rp to people #yea like i guess that’s what i’m saying the post just seemed meaner than it needed to be

ngl. unconsciously disengaging from this website has been hdjfkg kinda good for my mental health overall? like yes im still dhdjfjf left out of a lot of stuff BUT i see it less so that means my feelings don’t get as hurt lmao. functionally that’s more or less the same thing probably?

going recluse isn’t what i ever want to do (& I didn’t even do it on purpose, just got busy and had a low social battery because of it) but aside from me being overall comfortable by myself, it just kind of seems like it’s where people are content to leave me. doesn’t feel great but it is what it is.

#not rly on discord servers for the same reason tbh #got tired of trying to interject my awkward attempts at participation #I mean people can still @ me but i just don’t have it in me for the server stuff #my social perception is low enough that I can’t tell what the right move is but high enough I know when I fucked up #idk if I’m just not built for larger groups or if it’s something else :( #wish I knew so I could work around it but it’s not exactly a perfect experiment #so w/e. I do kind of miss it a bit but I also feel like my absence doesn’t make a difference #which is a sad thought in itself but that’s how it goes #idk I think in general I’m in a weird spot where I make an impression but it’s never a vital one to the dynamic ? #I do sometimes doubt like. what I bring to interactions in general lately #doesn’t feel like much if I’m being honest. I mean I think I’m at least moderately interesting but djfjf who knows #weirdly settled with myself as a person but I’m thinking that cost is probably an isolating one #knowing a lot of people just never breaking past that surface level #sucks. not much else to describe it as. #idk I’m sure this is bad for me but I think I’ve kind of already messed up first impressions #it’s so stupid but I keep encountering the same dynamic of either we Click fairly quickly or we just don’t really at all #and I feel like that’s wrong of me bc I know some people need time but unless that initial click happens I just seem to falter?? #idk idk idk I guess lately it’s like I feel alone/lonely but I don’t feel like I’m wanting to return to anything #bc I never felt like I really had a place there to start with #weird feeling. very weird feeling. #logging back off now dhjfkf

Ok I also explored where my bisa and my tío and my cousins lived. I’ve never looked at a map or had their addresses but I do have a good sense of direction and a freaky memory for layouts and I think I found everyone’s homes and you can bet I’ve been absolutely weeping about every single one

#tío Juan turned his irrigation pool into a swimming pool. and you can tell cos it’s higher up and a funny shape #and he had a small amount of land for his goats and chickens etc #and a bigggg pine tree #and the garage was under the balcony #anyway I found that. I just clicked the local castle and searched the surroundings for land that matched #it’s definitely 100% his home #and my cousin lived very very close I remember the road to it doesn’t seem like a real road and you have to go through a tiny underpass #but he renovated a very old water mill. with no water. and it also has a lot of land #Also for his goats and pigs and dogs and cats #and cos it’s a unique building I found it easily #my other cousin was harder to find. I didn’t go there as often. they came to us more or met us at another house #but I remember it was higher up and at the end of a path #and there was a gate and some land to the left #I THINK I found it. almost everything matches up but the outside of the building looks a little different hmmmm #also I found my bisa’s flat. but it’s been the longest since we were there #cos she sold it and moved in with us when she got old #and all those flats near the beach look the same #but this one seems to have a hollow between buildings and there’s a square a little further up and I’m pretty sure that’s it #anyway I’m. im feeling better #being with my Spanish family is the only time I’ve ever ever felt loved #THEYRE all saved to my favourites now #Juan died a long while ago but my cousin Pablo lives there now #and he works the land and has a produce business #I need to go back I really do #Also . my snooping skills are incredible to figure this all out. obviously #same with finding my abuelas village #it’s so small it’s unmarked i just had to keep looking for groups of buildings until I found the right one #then I checked with her and I was right #my old town ik as well as where I live now so that was fine

[alexturner2005]

i think as i listen to IAQWITIA more i’m actually getting more frustrated with it lol. i’m usually not one to complain about strings, and during the bridge and certain moments like “stackable party guests” they sound great, but during the chorus i feel like they don’t mesh well with the song. they’re so overpowering and almost sound like they’re in the wrong key or something?

#the live version sounds like it’s missing something but the studio version sounds like it has a little too much of something lol #there are elements of the song i like #but idk if this one’s gonna click with me #obviously my opinion could still change over time #it’s been literally one day #but with body paint for example i could feel it growing on me with every listen #and it didn’t take long to really start liking it #this one just seems to be having the opposite effect #if this is the one song on the album that doesn’t quite hit the mark for me that’s not that bad tho

[i-am-a-fucking-nerd]

Am genuinely so lonely in the relationship realm. Want a partner. Want to be loved. Want to love. Want to cuddle so so much. I had a bad headache yesterday and I wanted someone to lay on top of me sooooo bad. And then I felt bad for wanting that bc obv it is too much to ask or to want if it isn’t happening. Ugh. Anyway. Thinking abt how this is often the mental space I’m in where I download some dating apps and hate it and then I delete them after a bit, usually not even meeting someone irl if I manage to hold any sustained conversations. It sucks. It sucks it sucks it sucks.

#havilah's thoughts #dating #relationships #lonely #idk I just. I don’t fucking know. I don’t know what differently to do #I get. phases. where it’s worse than other times. #I feel like my body aches and my heart aches and idk what to do abt any of it #would love to meet someone naturally and click and fall in love but that doesn’t seem to be happening #I guess. just. goodnight.

All I want is to be able to watch videos of people talking about comics and superheroes without my recommended being filled with straight white dudes complaining about “wokeness” because they were “forced” to look at a woman once, is that too much to ask?

#I don’t even click on like 90% of the videos I’d want to watch #because the title makes it seems like there’s a nonzero risk I’m about to listen to someone who literally doesn’t view me as a human being #which I deal with enough already and would rather not get when just relaxing in my own home #I hate having to be on guard at all times because comics fans don’t know how to behave #or how to treat others with basic human decency #why can’t we just enjoy the things we enjoy and let everything else be #like adults

[unnerving-presence]

to the survivors out there why do you tbag and click for absolutely no reason even when the killer did absolutely nothing wrong do y’all just wake up and choose violence or what

#i don’t care about tbagging and clicking #doesn’t really make me mad #it just confuses me and makes me question shit #like bitch #i actively avoided tunneling you and you still wanna tbag me huh #i quite literally play by the survivor rulebook #i will go out of my way to not tunnel #yes i’m playing trapper during all of this #i should tunnel #bc trapper is weak asf #but i don’t #and these survivor hoes are ungrateful af it seems #like #i’ll see a survivor that was recently hooked like 15 secs ago running around #running around in the open #healthy as the day #do i leave them? #yes after i give them a lil smack #i just feel bad #i don’t like tunneling

TAISHAKUTEN

i actively hate this motherfucker hes so lame lmfao. there was potential and then it just got obliterated. for a trope-y clamp yaoi homage with no narrative significance. he’s er lang’s oc now anyways, so it doesn’t matter.

#asks #i don’t even know where to begin with this one #like it’s just Bad. it’s literally just Bad. and that doesn’t seem to click #poor writing fan service racism and pandering it’s the unholy quadrinity #i don’t know how to explain to taishakuten fans that you really don’t have to settle just because he’s a skinny blonde twink #there’s better writing in this game. i promise.

It just hit me that I really enjoy characters with sibling problems

Michael Afton, Alex Oxenfree, Six and Mono (they’re like siblings to me), The entire Hargreaves family, Cecil and Abby Palmer

#they love each other but sometimes love isn’t enough #Cecil obviously looks and admires/looks up to Abby - he doesn’t seem to fault at her all - all of his problems was with Steve #*loves #Michael clearly loves Elizabeth enough to risk his damn life for her! #Alex lost her brother a year prior to the game but (if you’re nice to him) her and Jonas just click - he’s not a replacement though

Blind Tumblr users: don’t get the latest iOS app update!

I just updated my tablet to the newest version of the tumblr app for iOS and it completely broke screen reader access for both VoiceOver and Spoken Content. This has happened in the past already, so I will file a support ticket and copy-paste my text from last time, but this really sucks. I sincerely hope this doesn’t affect all screen reader users, but I’m unsure how they could program this bug in a way it only affects me. If you rely on a screen reader to use the tumblr app, I’d advice to not get the latest update to be on the safe side.

When I say “completely broke access”, what I mean is that no posts on my dash or on individual blogs get read or recognized at all. No plain text, alt text, tags, etc. Note count and buttons still work though.

If you also run into this bug, here’s my advice. If anyone has something more useful, please tell me

File a support ticket and report this bug

Use the browser web version, which still works for me

Interestingly, if you save a post to your drafts and click on “edit” the post text seems to get read correctly. This might be a work-around for some people.

If you have the latest version but your screen reader didn’t break, also please tell me! I would be fascinated to know if this bug is only affecting some people

TL;DR: The latest tumblr app update for iOS made it so screen readers no longer work in the app

Please boost!

Edit: This issue is now fixed as of November 10th 2023. However, since this is a recurring issue, it’s possible that a future update will break it again. See notes for more details.
