Scar: You get too deep in Twitter it gets scary.
Impulse: I got too deep in Tumblr, I had to back off.
Scar: (surprised) Ooh.
Impulse: I started going down a-a little—Gem saw! Gem saw it happen. Gem was helping me with Tumblr and—and I started going down and she's like, "nope, stop. you gotta do a filter for that one." (he laughs)
Scar: Uh oh.
Impulse: I got a little too deep—
Gem: Yeah, but seriously. You guys, y-y-you want to be on the Tumblr, but you don't want to be on the Tumblr, because—you don't have the right…attitude about the Tumblr! If you're gonna be on the Tumblr, you're gonna see the fandom stuff. And if—then you gotta be okay with seeing the fandom stuff. If you're not okay with seeing the fandom stuff, then you gotta let me set up your Tumblr! (beat) I'm personally okay with it all, I don't really care.
Scar: (sounding like he's far away) What's the fandom stuff?
Impulse: Like the shipping, and…stuff.
Scar: Do they get into like, the rates on shipping these days? It's crazy.
Impulse: A-U? What do they call it, A-U? What's A-U stand for?
Gem: Just, Alternate Universe
Impulse: Alternate Universe, okay. Some of the alternate universe, I read some of those things, they're actually pretty cool.
Gem: You shouldn't say that out loud. (Impulse begins laughing)
Impulse: Oh, my bad. I'm not supposed to be there, sorry, safe place for you guys, I'm back out—I'm out. I-I didn't—
Scar: I never venture to Tumblr.
Impulse: Reddit was-Reddit was slow! Okay? If—listen. If Reddit's gonna be slow, I need an outlet for—(laughs) for my—(getting quieter) reading. Stuff. About myself.
Gem: I'd be-I think Tumblr's fine, you just have to have the correct mindset. And you also shouldn't be talking about it on stream—
Impulse: Yeah, my bad—
Gem: —because it freaks them out, and then they start being weird. Tumblr's much better when they're just-they're just normal.
Impulse: There was-there was plenty of normal stuff. I just-you can't go down the rabbit holes, I learned. (pause) And then people-people take—they take screenshots of me when I'm standing weird. (He holds up a picture to the camera)
Scar: (starts laughing) What, wait what? Wait, hold on—
Gem: Oh, wait, we can-we can tell about this. There-there was a Tumblr post that was, that was-that was pointing out all of the times that Impulse stood (Scar exhales a laugh) and-and-and yeah. Yeah, they-they were pretty pretty princess Impulse?
Impulse: (talking over her) I stand so macho, what are you talking about (he laughs)
Scar: I'm so confused, I-can I get a—
Impulse: I literally had to work on my—stance, before Sunday because I saw something Saturday night and I was like, oh—
Gem: It's very cute, it's very cute. (Impulse laughs)
Scar: Can I see a photo?
Impulse: I was pretty princess. Here, I'll bring it up again. Do you have my stream open?
Scar: I wanna see it.
Impulse: I'll find it again.
Scar: Can I just say, can I just say real quick while he's doing that? Impulse—really swoled out. He looks like he could pick-pick up an ox. (Impulse laughs, clearly pleased) I really noticed it, like, Impulse-I see those guns, I was like, "this man could pick up an ox. If I fell on the ground, Impulse, one hand, could pick me up."
Impulse: Thanks.
Scar: O-oh my god, I just pulled up your stream, except there's an ad, so I just see it up in the little tiny box at the top—
Impulse: Oh shoot—c'mon ads!
Scar: —so it's even funnier. Oh, there it is. (he laughs delightedly) Little princess.
Gem: Tumblr's so good, though, cause you just get to see funny stuff like that, and don't have to scroll through all the politics and crap that's on, like, X.
Impulse: Mm.
Scar: It's so bad, Gem.
Gem: And Reddit. And is dead. It's just nice, I like seeing the fandom at it's purest form, please don't ruin it by telling them that you're on there.
Impulse: Okay. Nah, I-I was just on there 'cause I, y'know, I was excited about the event. There was so many things being posted and stuff, I wanted to see—everything that was being said, about w-how people thought about the weekend, and favorite clips, and all that kind of stuff, I wanted to see it all, so I dipped into Tumblr. Just a little bit, just-just to dip my toes in, just a lil bit. I'm back out, I'm fine. I'll be alright.
Scar: But was it nice?
Impulse: It was alright.
Scar: Because it feels like Reddit, they just nitpick the smallest things, like—
Gem: I don't find the Tumblr to be nitpicky at all. Th-they're more like a celebration of the fandom. Whereas the Reddit is like…hates the fan—hates-hates us, a lil bit. Lowkey.
Scar: A little, there's a little there, there's a little there, it's—there's an enjoyment of nitpicking. They find the nitpicking more fun, and then Twitter, they're just confused over there. They don't know what's going on. (Impulse laughs)
Gem: Tumblr definitely doesn't nitpick half of the—every now and then I'll come across a person who's like. A bit…odd. But you could just block that one person and it normally goes away.
Impulse: I didn't understand Tumblr about—cause you can't see when something was posted. At least not on just the scrolling through, it seemed like. I didn't see anything that was like, "this was posted x amount of hours ago." And I'm used to that. So that felt weird to me. And then I didn't quite understand how, like, replies and stuff work. There's something about notes? And then I click on that and it got weird, and, I dunno.
Gem: Oh, I can teach you, I can teach you that.
Impulse: I just didn't get it.
Gem: I didn't think you were going to be getting into like, actually posting.
Impulse: I'm a boomer when it comes to—Tumblr. So I think—I'm okay. N-next time we hang out you can help me with my—filters.
Gem: I think you should just pretend that you don't use it. Cause—
Impulse: Yeah, just, I'm not gonna get on there ever again. (Windows error noise) Say what you want. Uh oh.
