#the silent understanding

[blaithnne]

if I had a nickel for every time Hilda became teary eyed because a close family member was forced to chose between staying with her, or returning to live with their parents in the magical otherworld they're native to, and came THIS close to leaving her only to come around at the last minute, condemning themselves to potentially never see their parents again because the life they've built with Hilda is more important to them, their bond is unbreakable and their love eternal, and they'd move mountains to make her happy, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice.

enough about taylor swift already. reblog and tag the smallest, least known artist you listen to

#txt #put your energy where it'll make a difference #i have not and will never be silent about sperling but they are not the smallest in my library #it might be Dachs - which is swiss! #and i love that for me because i understand fuck all it's all just vibes to me #and the vibes are great #muted post

To illustrate this post by @mayahawkse I would like to visualize to you the difference:

A post in 2023:

A post in 2014:

A zoom out of the same post:

This is what a community looks like.

See how in 2023 almost all of the reblogs come from the OP, from their few hours/days in the tag search. Meanwhile in 2014 the % of reblogs from OP is insignificant, because most of the reblogs come from the reblogs within the fandom, within the micro-communities formed there. You didn't need to rely on tags, or search, or being featured. Because the community took care of you, made sure to pass the work between themselves and onto their blog and exposed their followers to it. It kept works alive for years.

It's not JUST the reblog/like ratio that causing this issue, it's the type of interaction people have. They're content with scrolling and liking the search engine, instead of actually having a reblogging relationship with other blogs in their community.

Anyways, if you want to see more content you like, the only true way to make it happen is to reblog it. Likes do not forward content in no way but making OP feel nice. Reblogs on the other hand make content eternal. They make it relevant, they make it exist outside of a fickle tumblr search that hardly works on the best of days.

If you want more of something, reblog it.

#i said i wont ever rant about this bc it's unseemly but HONESTLY. #you simply cannot complain about not having enough of A or B or C and then never reblog / interact with the content you love. #If you LOVE something you cannot just leave a like and silently wait for more to happen #I know countless of content creators that simply stopped doing art/writing fic/making edits #You need to understand that fandom content is made FOR the fandom FOR the engagement FOR the entertainment and fun it makes. #If a content creator does not have fun IN the fandom-- why would they spend the scares free time they have on making this content? #And we're not talking about things that you don't like-- no one expects you to reblog things you don't like. #However I think it's safe to say that when a post has more than 5k it's not some random shitpost with no value. #tumblr issues #tumblr #content creators #buns.txt #something something please don't starve your local clowns

he finally figured out how to use the washing machine!

#joker is so strong if my 5'11 toxic doomed yaoi situationship put his hand on my shoulder to wish me good luck #while slipping cards in my sleeve in a silent display of trust and care to imply that however underhanded our tactics need to be #he trusts me to win above all else. and also trusts me to understand his meaning without words. #i would simply crumple up and die #persona 5 #p5 #goro akechi #ren amamiya #akira kusuru #shuake #akeshu

Forever haunted by Katniss, who took months to warm up to Gale and didn’t realize she and Madge were more than just acquaintances of convenience until she was about to ship off to her death, saying that she and Thresh would have been friends if they both lived in 12

it's kinda funny that people hc dr ratio to give his s/o silent treatment after an argument. sure i can kinda see that but him giving his s/o the silent treatment for MONTHS until something bad happens to his s/o????? that's where you draw the line girl, i don't think dr ratio would do that- let alone give his s/o silent treatment in general. sure he can be immature and stubborn during at an argument but c'mon. i can only imagine that after an argument he'll talk about it to his s/o calmly like there's no way he'll leave his s/o that long cs it'll hurt him afterwards

#he COULD give his s/o the silent treatment #but only for a day or so #he'll eventually realize it's immature for him to give his s/o silent treatment during the times he's seperated with them #the thing abt dr ratio is that he understands emotions #he knows them TOO well #mans got a degree in philosophy #but this is just me ranting tbh #dr ratio #dr ratio x reader #dr. ratio x reader #veritas ratio #veritas ratio x reader #honkai star rail #💌﹚．．from me to you.

literally don’t talk to me don’t touch me

#IF THIS IS PLAYER’S HEART. because they don’t have a canon appearance #so they made do by including just everyone player is close to… #i understand from a game design pov it’s bc well they did what they could y’know #but i want to look at things from an in-universe meta pov. the idea that player doesn’t have their own identity #but is just composed of the love of other people who have touched their life and made them someone #something something that thing about how player starts out as a silent blank slate #but by the end of the story has the agency and wit required to think of a plan and pull it off all on their own #something something player being a type of replica theory #kingdom hearts #khml #mine: kh #IT’S GORGEOUS MAN

i love the idea that kusuke had some sort of life-altering revelation offscreen after the cattank incident. like he and kusuo never actually properly talk it out but the next time kusuke shows up he just treats kusuo like a normal brother (relatively of course) and its never addressed

#the disastrous life of saiki k. #saiki kusuo no psi nan #saiki k #saiki kusou #saiki kusuke #i dont remember exactly how it plays out in canon #but in my head this is how it goes #like theres just some sort of silent understanding between them like ''okay yeah that was enough actually. were good now'' #they probably SHOULD talk it about but knowing them........ #anyway its 4 am and i must needs be gone.......toodles!

i wish i could organize a timkon giftswap or week or whatever event, but like only for people who actually care about kon as a character, without coming off as a gatekeeping asshole or something lmao

#rimi talks #i really love doing collaborative event stuff. however the horrors #timkon giftswap but in the signup form i put ''whats your favorite issue of superboy (1994)? how about robin (1993)?'' #<- see that would get me branded a gatekeeper and asshole. but also hear me out............ #you see........ the timkon tag is a fucking nightmare................ #timkon giftswap but in the signup form i go ''lex luthor bernard dowd and jason todd are banned from this event btw'' #i can't. i'm not strong enough. ksdjhfjkdhskj #but i WISH i could bc i do love events and collabs!!!! im just. SO tired of everything timkon being so shitty and ooc #bc like. the people who don't read comics latched onto timkon as The Tim Yaoi Ship™ #instead of . like. reading comics and understanding why people like tim and kon's relationship to begin with #augh....... alas. i shall never run a timkon event. it simply cannot be done. but i can yearn silently in my heart

Tbh while I respect and understand ppl disliking certain vessels esp ones like Razor, Nightmare, and Tower (and a couple more) who are just straight up cruel, I just can't hate any of them. It doesn't feel right. Even Vessels I don't like all that much personally, I can't bring myself to feel anything worse than tolerating them but appreciating their narrative role

And when thinking about it more, I think I feel this way bc WE make her into what she is. She's only cruel bc of us. She's only distrustful bc of us. She becomes terrible bc WE made her like that. It seems kinda unfair to me personally to hate her when I'm the exact reason she's so fucked up and awful like that in the first place. When what she becomes is what she is thought to be

I feel like Shifty herself is the only Princess this doesn't apply to (though this is based off the assumption she has more control over what form she takes and what she becomes than her vessels do)

Debated posting in the tags but I need to see if this is just a me thing or if anyone else feels this way about the vessels

#slay the princess #do NOT take this as me saying you cant dislike any of the vessels #i mean #im side-eyeing you IMMENSELY if you hate the princess as a whole ngl #or hate most vessels #but still #hate them if you want i cant control you only silently judge you #i should probably also clarify that hating vessels for trauma related reasons is an entirely different can of worms and very understandable
