snippet of my jegulus!spider-man au?
James leaned against the locker beside Regulus’s, making sure to stay on his left side (his better-hearing side), and firmly questioned, “What do you want from me?”
“You’re supposed to figure that out yourself,” Regulus quipped in the same bored tone he often took. James had learned to not be offended by it, but to find it quite endearing.
“Look, I’ve tried everything that my brain has ever thought of, and obviously none of it is working, so I’ll try one last time and then I’ll leave you be,” James told him, and as earnestly as he could manage, he asked, “Will you go out with me this weekend?”
Regulus paused as he reached into his locker. “What’s your plan?”
“My plan?” Regulus keenly watched his mouth as he spoke, and despite it being just for lip-reading purposes, James still felt himself reeling over it.
“For the date. What do you have planned?”
“Oh,” James straightened out his back. “well, I honestly haven’t thought too much about it, because I've just been trying to get you to say yes, so uh… I don’t know, maybe we could get something to eat after school?”
“I have decathlon practice after school,” Regulus reminded, resuming his collection of his textbooks.
“Okay, what about this weekend?”
“This weekend.” Regulus nodded as he added a notebook to the stack of books in his arms. “Where are we going to eat, then?”
James chuckled warily. “Is this, like, an interrogation or something?”
“I just like to know what I’m doing and when. Nothing personal,” Regulus said and shut his locker, finally meeting James’s hopeful gaze. “A drive-in theater by the East River is playing CODA Saturday night. We could go see that together.”
“Isn’t that your favorite movie?” James asked despite confidently knowing.
“It is.” Nothing could compare to making Regulus Black, the most straight-faced, deadpanned person in human existence, smile. “I’ll text you more about it later?”
“Yeah, okay. Yeah,” James couldn’t help but smile back.
With his free hand and that same small smile, Regulus held up his hand in an L shape, and then tilted it down, telling James a simple “later” that replayed in his mind the rest of the day.

They need to invent more fake celebrities like Hatsune Miku and Gorillaz and the Muppets because it's genuinely the most sustainable way to maintain a parasocial relationship with the entertainer class.

cant tell you how bad it feels to constantly tell other artists to come to tumblr, because its the last good website that isn't fucked up by spoonfeeding algorithms and AI bullshit and isn't based around meaningless likes
just to watch that all fall apart in the last year or so and especially the last two weeks
there's nowhere good to go anymore for artists.
edit - a lot of people are saying the tags are important so actually, you'll look at my tags.
#please dont delete your accounts because of the AI crap. your art deserves more than being lost like that #if you have a good PC please glaze or nightshade it. if you dont or it doesnt work with your style (like mine) please start watermarking #use a plain-ish font. make it your username. if people can't google what your watermark says and find ur account its not a good watermark #it needs to be central in the image - NOT on the canvas edges - and put it in multiple places if you are compelled #please dont stop posting your art because of this shit. we just have to hope regulations will come slamming down on these shitheads#in the next year or two and you want to have accounts to come back to. the world Needs real art #if we all leave that just makes more room for these scam artists to fill in with their soulless recycled garbage #improvise adapt overcome. it sucks but it is what it is for the moment. safeguard yourself as best you can without making #years of art from thousands of artists lost media. the digital world and art is too temporary to hastily click a Delete button out of spite

truly just learn the phrase "I did not like this" instead of trying to give some moral or ethical reasoning behind why it's actually evil and morally wrong and problematic. you are allowed to just not like things because they're not good in your personal opinion, they don't have to be problematic you can just not like them

You know I used to think "tumblr's absolute refusal to actually engage with the Trolley Problem in favor of insisting that there must be a third, morally pure option that doesn't require them to make a hard decision and anyone who asks them to make a binary choice is just a short-sighted idiot is really fucking annoying, but I guess it's not actually doing any harm".
Anyway that was before we asked tumblr at large to decide between "guy aiding a genocide but making progress elsewhere" and "guy who would actively and enthusiastically participate in a genocide and would also make everything else much, much worse for everyone elsewhere" and the response was that there must be a third, morally pure option that doesn't require them to make a hard decision and that anyone who asks them to make a binary choice is a short-sighted idiot.
