I feel like I just have to say this.
There are people on Tumblr:
Who have disabilities that affect their language/speech.
Who have intellectual and/or developmental disabilities that affect thinking, speaking, and writing.
Who live with executive function and/or go through periods of brain fog that can impact their language usage and/or speech capabilities.
Who are not native English speakers, or whose first and/or primary language is not English.
Maybe keep this in mind before you start nitpicking because someone didn't write something perfectly in your eyes.

* Welcome *
I'm Winnie (she/her) and this is my main blog where all my original posts and likes will be, more all-encompassing for reflecting all of my interests (art, photography, science, space, nature, animals, etc.) along with fandoms and actors, especially Cillian Murphy. I currently have two semi-active side blogs that I will reblog content from:
Stranger Things @ Hey Kiddo (tumblr.com)
Cillian Murphy @ Cilly-Oppie (tumblr.com)
*Fanfiction Masterlist*
Cillian Murphy as J. Robert Oppenheimer x reader:
Heat of the Moment - One Night Passion
A Darling Distraction
Oasis in a Desperate Land of Dark Desire (ongoing series)
Part One
Part Two
Part Three
Part Four
Part Five
Part Six
Dr. Jonathan Crane/Scarecrow x reader (Batman)
Face Me
Jonathan Breech x reader (On the Edge, 2001)
A Safe Way Out
***To possibly be updated!***
I may write for more Cillian Murphy characters soon (Jonathan Crane/Scarecrow was first on my list), but not about Cillian personally as himself out of respect for his privacy and family (and he is a currently living person). And I don't take requests at this time, but may be open to it in the future for certain (male only!) characters he has portrayed.
*Important Note: All of my fics are strictly intended for 18+ (minors do not interact) and female readers only! I also try to keep the fem!reader character as general in physical description as possible; I will never specify a certain skin color or body type (unless it's absolutely crucial to the story) because I do not want to exclude anyone and I want you to imagine yourself as much as possible! And lastly, my fics are not completely historically accurate or 100% reflective of any real people (including actors), living or dead. For entertainment purposes only*
In general, I tend to write, make digital collages/art, and post photos. Feel free to reach out if we share similar interests and I love feedback on my fics, but please know I do not allow anonymous asks at this time.
Thank you for stopping by! 😊

Sometimes, I scroll through the activity part of my Tumblr blog just to enjoy everyone's names.
There are some names that make me laugh. Some that make me very concerned. Some that are so artful and clever that I wish I had thought of it myself...
And then there are the porn bots.

The EGO MIND: Unnecessary Thinking Meets Mindful Thinking.
Tumblr media
When the ego is not at its healthiest, it can lead us down a rocky path. Sometimes the ego can be the protector, but it can be the destroyer all at once too.
When learning how to separate the egoic mind from the heart. The ego's willingness too succeed in whatever it has its mind towards is stellar. No matter what it is, the ego wants what it wants.
This usually isn't a bad thing, but what happens when an individual has a bruised ego? Their mind is pushing them towards a path of bruising others as well as themselves. When the ego is not shining its true light, its darkness will find weird behaviors in order to soothe its blows. So in today's reading. I want to talk about how to Egoic mind can lead to some unnecessary thinking, and how leading towards mindfulness, will create a stellar individualistic mind and learning to cope with its differences.
Again, there is nothing wrong with the egoic mind, its just needs to be a healed one. Simple.
When processing the ego, journaling is one of the best spaces to heal those wounds. Allowing yourself space for you to see past what the ego wants, desires and needs and seeing how these wants and desires can be chaotic or simply outside of practical thinking.
For example, you may have had a bad childhood, or lets say a boring one. During that time you we're manipulated into going outside, hanging with friends or you simply had to be alone or felt that way. At this point, your brain is filled with the memories of those experiences and those patterns begin to shape your ego/reality. Like because of those situations, you became shy, less talkative, socially awkward and you don't know how to live. This creates a trapped consciousness, which the ego is connected to.
The ego is all about consciousness, and how we see fit. At some point, you make amends with this truth and suggest that you are quiet, you aren't talkative and you don't know how to talk to people because well... you didn't have that chance to grow as a kid, so you force yourself into these socially awkward roles because thats all you knew. But at some point, you realize that this doesn't have to be you. And this is where the egoic mind meets with mindful thinking.
At some point you realize you could be more than those descriptions you have for yourself. Now, you say to yourself you aren't those things, and choose to tell yourself that you're okay with connecting, you love going outdoors and expressing yourself.
Being careful with your words is substantial, but how you view yourself is too. The ego is about the self, purely you and your magic. Mindful thinking is collective based, not just about how you see things.
Instead of believing that you're socially awkward, maybe change the way you look at things. Unnecessary thinking is you picking and choosing when to take accountability for your actions in the present, and yes, the past as well. When we're consistently in the ego and not in a state of mindfulness, we trick ourselves into believing what we've accumulated through time. A state of mindfulness challenges our perspective but in a tune that relaxes our state of mind and puts into a peaceful, claritative reality.
It's okay to be in the egoic mind, just make sure there is a state of mindfulness there too as this leads to the heart. The ego cannot be without the heart, it needs both to secure the destiny it came for and not what was presented to you as you grew into your human mind and body. Hope this reading was helpful! Ase!

tumblr is the only corporate social im willing to use at this point, purely because of how vastly different it is from its contemporaries, structurally and culturally, but they're very clearly doing something that is quickly turning me away. for lack of less sensitive term, staff is practically gentrifying the platform. (forcing shit from other socials that tumblrs lack of were the only reason i still used it)
given i use spacehey daily, im sure youre already aware that im not a big fan of the contemporary concept of the "social media". i wont go on my whole pedantic/esoteric rant about distinguishing the definition of a social media and a social network because thats a whole other essay for another time and its not worth the argument given im already trying to discuss something else at the moment. (ive literally written a research paper about this because i seriously am that obnoxious about the subject)
so; one of the most substantial changes that happened to social websites in general over the past 2 decades was the introduction of algorithmic feeds. for those unaware, tumblr is in fact the very last major social platform that still doesnt operate (primarily) off of algorithmic content, and this is direly important to the continued use it receives from older bloggers. the majority of people who regularly use tumblr today and have for years are still here because it is the last bastion of chronological dashboards. this also plays a huge role in why theres such a dramatically different atmosphere on tumblr compared to other platforms.
reblogs are literally the only way that things can "go viral". posts do not ever spread if people dont actively decide "i want to share this with my friends" and hit the reblog button, as well if their friends dont think the same. whats especially important is that this system is entirely end-viewer-oriented; it does not particularly favor reactionary content like an algorithm does. on a platform like twitter, any kind of engagement at all (replies, likes, qrts, etc) will be taken by the algorithm as an indication that the post is likely to resonate with people in some way, regardless of whether the post in question is receiving positive or negative engagement, and regardless of whether or not it is thoughtful or warrants that- not to mention how this problem is even further exacerbated by the character limits on microblogging social media platforms like twitter.
so people love tumblr for the fact that posts that you wouldnt share with your friends simply will not garner any popularity most of the time. this fosters a far more unique and interesting community and types of viral content, but youll notice that a little while ago, tumblr quietly added the "for you" page. realistically, nobody who actually has used tumblr since before that tab was added would ever even touch it because it is a spit in the face of what makes people love the platform. but they they knew most people dont vocally give a shit like i do.
the first problem arises when you consider that new users from places like tiktok and twitter will naturally assume the tab was always there and likely use it as their primary means of discovery. they wont learn or understand the way that the proper system tumblr uses of follows and reblogs actually works, which is steadily creating an enormous and frankly insurmountable divide between new and old users of the platform. its already fostering the kinds of passive interaction from people who dont understand tumblr's mechanics that is honestly genuinely harmful to the community overall. people misusing the tools that the platform has due to not understanding their function or assuming similarity to things they already know from other platforms. honestly, this in itself would not even be that much of an issue because we could simply ignore the new users who refuse to make the effort to understand how to use the app and fall for the advertising trap that is the for you page...
but the problem is getting way bigger as tumblr is slowly but surely pushing the "for you" page onto other dashboards. youll see posts with a little "based on your likes" banner at the top crop up more and more. theyre quite literally trying to subtly force an algorithm into place where there wasnt one before. (ive been made aware you actually can turn this off from within an entirely seperate settings menu from the regular one that you open on the notifications screen for some reason?? the fact that i didnt even know this after using tumblr for this long is wild, but it doesnt invalidate my argument in that they turned it on automatically without asking or telling users) its not egregious enough to make me leave yet but its definitely been happening more and more frequently to the point that i am seriously doubting if i should consider continuing to use the website/app. this is the biggest structural issue, but its not the only example of what im talking about where tumblr is trying to pretend to be like other contemporary social medias in order to lure in new users without teaching them how things work so that they can use them as advertising guinea pigs.
another example would be the abrupt and frankly pointless introduction of tumblr live, which is entirely unnecessary and has received near unanimous criticism from older users. but a bigger one is something that a lot of people, especially newer users, mobile only users, or those straight other platforms have probably not even noticed- the completely silent removal of subdomain urls. (which is why people here call usernames urls in the first place) this one is way more apparent of an issue as far as my questionable use of the term 'gentrification' goes.
if i asked you the question "what is tumblr?" what would you say? more than likely, you would answer that its a social media- and to be clear, you would certainly not be incorrect in that assessment, but thats not the important part. as far as i can see, thats the first thing that comes to mind when they think of what tumblr "is" in its contemporary state. but if i asked somebody that a decade ago, they would likely give a completely different answer; they would say its a "blogging site". that's because fundamentally, that's what tumblr actually is and is supposed to be. a social blogging host platform. the dashboard and tumblr.com screen was always only half of it as far as the functionality went.
everyone used to have a personal website for their blogs, and people would often hook their tumblr blog up with its own custom domain as well. tumblr was first and foremost simply a blogging platform with social elements. while that subdomain (personal website) functionality does still exist, and you can see it on my blog because i customized my blog's css themes, they actually completely silently added a switch that gets rid of it, and they automatically turned it off for anyone that hadnt fully configured that page already which slowly consolidates everybody towards the exact same uniform tumblr-blog style like what you see on the mobile site. it forces a uniform visual aesthetic and functionality, which is one of the things i hate the most. in the first place, the enormous number of people who hadnt set up their page properly is largely because tumblr has for a few years now actively discouraged, hidden, or obfuscated the 'personal website' aspect of the service for whatever reason they may have using a method ill get into in a moment. it may be because they thought it was too convoluted for newer internet users who dont understand, or it may have been a more calculated effort to abandon older infrastructure and replace it with replicas of more contemporary systems like are used in other social medias, but it doesnt make a difference to me.
blogging is all about self-expression, and restricting that defeats the point so fucking hard. on the mobile app, my page will look something like this.
Tumblr media
though this screenshot is taken on desktop. the url here is "https://www.tumblr.com/virtueisdead". this is an entirely separate and pretty recently added functionality called the profile view, which is entirely different from how the website used to operate, which is demonstrated for clearly by the fact that this is not what my blog is actually supposed to look like. in fact, you cant even see what blogs are supposed to look like on the mobile app at all. if you open your browser and go to my actual blog url, "https://virtueisdead.tumblr.com/", you can see the intended design, which is very similar to my spacehey profile.
Tumblr media
im honestly not unconvinced that they intend to eventually completely distinguish the old blogging system (akin to wordpress and blogger) from the social media aspect of the site entirely, though thats more of a crack theory. the fact remains that they began to silently get rid of people's actual blog pages, slowly forcing uniformity with the mobile app. (this is less important, but another part of that that drives me up the fucking wall is that i cant even use the tumblr website in my main browser anymore. they made it so it only works in certain browsers, and im sure i dont need to explain why that is absolutely insufferable behavior)
tumblr is absolutely trying to mimic other social media platforms like tiktok and twitter in order to attract users from them or give them a more 'familiar experience' and its absolutely a detriment to the experience for people who use tumblr specifically because it isnt like other corporate social platforms. this is a separate gripe, but...
ive said before and will say again, twitter users should not look for an alternative to twitter, they should just stop fucking using it. thats like going from smoking a cigarette brand that uses slave labor to one that doesnt. youre a more ethical person but youre still giving yourself lung cancer.

I continue to question this with myself so I thought I'd ask you lovely people instead.
This is my main and I have a sideblog I set up for my fanfic, but I don't know if I should keep the two separate or not. Because often I am answering questions about my writing from my main.

I don't give a fuck how much I agree with your post. If you end it with "if you don't reblog this..." I ain't gonna reblog it. I'll just go write a post of my own that doesn't include manipulative shit.

every time I get on this website I get closer to leaving. it fucking sucks. it's nothing like it once was. sure the pictures are still here but who gives a fuck. I could have gone to twitter for pictures. facebook for pictures. I hate you. I loved this site and it fucking sucks and you're to blame. @staff fix it. all you do is get notifications about how everything on this site is going to hell. I get it. someone stepped up and decided to make changes. It's time for a mutiny. Send them to the gallows

You know when you're doing the most random thing and a name for a new blog strikes your mind and then you find it's taken and go to the person's page to see what the hell they're doing
