cringe is dead

do y’all remember before direct messages tumblr had a dumbass ask limit of 10 per hour and communication was impossible until they introduced dumbass fan mail and we were basically sending telegraphs back in forth trying to communicate those were…dark times

Do y'all remember when they finally gave us direct messages and instead of doing it normally, they gave it to a few people at a time and we had to infect each other with it like a virus

remember when any post with more than like 6 people talking was unreadably smushed except for the last few additions remember when any post of over 500 characters became a link back to op’s blog readmore style remember when video and audio posts had about a 10% chance of working when you click play

As a recent user I love finding out shit like this from older users. What the fuck guys???? Why were you USING IT AT ALL?!??

believe it or not, we liked that more

its worth noting that immediately after these updates that made everything better, we were all angry about it

Having zero emotional object permanence is so funny your therapist asks how your week was and you're just like "girl I have no idea"

all these posts about people clutching their pearls about seeing bare titties at pride make me laugh because at last year's pride i met a cishet guy who had no idea what was going on and had joined because he saw bare titties and thought "those people look like they are having fun, and also i can see tits for free" and he asked me about what was happening and let me explain LGBT struggles for some time before telling me he had a transgender cousin and he was going to make sure to be there for her in the future. bare tits will be the beacon to world peace

idk im really tired of 15-17 year olds who have never interacted with the gay community irl and spend too much time on tiktok trying to act like the authority on all that is lgbt+ 

I'm so exhausted by all of this.

I made a what the fandom thinks of you generator

how to save a life by the fray, wonderwall by oasis, creep by radiohead, viva la vida by coldplay, lazarus by porcupine tree, numb by linkin park and bittersweet symphony by the verve. None of them are the same genre but somehow. They are united by a mood. A movement. A phase of memory. You had to be there (middle school)

@ fic authors what do you personally consider a successful fic? What’s the bar?

actually writing the fic down

haha hey i love the blood dripping from your face and the animal rage in your eyes whats your pronouns

the best trope in media is: “characters turn on the lights, see the monster, and immediately turn the lights back off”

i love torturing myself with fictional characters just to make sure i can still access depth of feeling. i love being normal.

nothing sexier than that picture with the italian players on top of eachother after the win and the english ones going through the 5 stages of grief in the back

This destroyed me.
