#morph speaks

Have seen it go around and someone kindly pointed the whole modus operandi out to me when i got the first weird comment, so just be careful out there everyone.

I mostly feel bad because i’m pretty sure the accounts reaching out to try the scam are often from people that have lost them to this bs :/ If you check their profile, they’re usually active until like a few days before you get the comment/dm.

Anyway, just a reminder:

1.- The whole reporting and getting a perma ban isn’t that effective in social media over all, neither is on tumblr. Many accounts have been actually reported in the history of the internet and most are still kicking so yeah, don’t freak out over it the moment they tell you they reported you.

2.- If you have real concerns, reach out to the support through the actual means of contact tumblr offers and/or their user help-lines, that’s the people that can actually make sure everything is okay.

3.- For the love of god, no real support worker will tell you to reach out to them through Discord or any other platform that isn’t, again, official means on tumblr. So please, just take a deep breath and realise how silly what they’re asking you to do is.

i find it completely surreal how Lando’s first home win has somehow become fully about Nico’s podium (don’t get me wrong, i understand the celebration but it’s all i see people talk about and it’s starting to stem into non-existent controversies) and people arguing about the whole penalty thing.

and i’m sorry to say this because i know it won’t go well with everyone, but i do feel like it’s happening more just because it’s Lando. i know all drivers get judged and hated on, and he’s not the only one it’s happened to (look how Max and Lewis were talked about during their dominance) but i do feel like this weird damned if you, damned if you don’t thing happens a lot when it comes to LN.

i do feel like it’s one of those this just happens online things and it kind of baffles me how the general discussion is focused in what can only be described nothing-burgers.

and of course it had to happen just before a 2 week break so, guess this is what we’ll hear about until Belgium

That’s a pretty good guess actually!

I snuck that little bit about Price being house president because i’ve had his and his darling’s base story planned pretty much since my first frat!johnny post. I’ve just been hoarding it and changing a little bit of wording from time to time.

It’s a longish piece, so i’m going to make it’s own post that you can read here. But it’s childhood friends to lovers, crazy slow burn, idiots in love kinda thing.

I just love to make them be yearning losers tbh

Also, your idea sounds like an amazing fic and if you ever get the courage to write it on your own, please tag me, i’d love to read it! And feel free to share any other ideas, love seeing what others imagine about the au's <3

i’ve been incredibly hyped about Guillermo del Toro’s Frankenstein for the last few months; watching and analysing all and any content related to it (director and actors interviews, thinking pieces, reviews, theories and analysis by fans, etc). I though i had missed the chance to watch in the cinema, had resigned myself to watching it at home. And then i was lucky enough to find a local theater that still had showings and changed my whole weekend plans so i could go watch it. And just like i hoped, i absolutely loved it.

What im trying to say with all of this is i understand the love for the movie and i’m as obsessed with it as the next guy.

The thing is, tell me why, every time i engage with any related content i always have to find at least one (and often many more) comments about it needing a sequel.

Don’t get me wrong, like i said, absolutely think it’s a masterpiece and would love to see more of what Guillermo del Toro has to offer for this universe. How he’d deal with the complexities of the Creature discovering who he wants to be.

But this movie has been a love piece that has been worked on for so many years, so many attempts and changes and evolutions. The man has a journal full on inspirations, thoughts and designs with no margines left for annotations for fuck’s sake.

Why, when we get something this amazing and beautiful. Something that has clearly been created, constructed and nurtured with pure love and passion and dedication, why is the first thing that comes to people’s minds asking for more?

Are we seriously that done for as a society —so used to the capitalist impulse to consume and discard— that when we’re presented with a piece that could make us discover something new with every watch, find a different meaning, metaphor or reference, the only thing we can ask for is a shiny new one?

We have an amazing mind such as Guillermo del Toro’s, who creates so much before even making the movie, who doesn’t fear sharing his knowledge and processes so others can adapt it, who rejects the idea that the director is a mysterious genius in a glass box. Someone that refuses to let art become an utility.

And all that comes from it is just the capitalist understanding of art, a product that has been made to be consumed, to be watched. and then it can’t be cherished and understood as for what it is, but as to what can come from it. it has to be discarded and hounded for more, for new.

Going back to when i was in the cinema; we only got one trailer before the movie started, a new adaptation of Dracula, a different version of the topics that feed Frankenstein. i made a comment leaving the cinema to my friend, who so graciously adapted their schedule to come to the showing with me. i mentioned how it was of no surprise to me that media that fed from romantic pieces were making a comeback.

We live in such a detached society, an effort for a supposedly “knowledgeable and well-informed” population, that has just been turned against us and made to be the thing that leaves us both without information and connections. we’re going through new “industrial revolutions” that just prove all we have always been was a cog working in the machine, a piece considered replaceable. A moment in history where art has stopped being human expression and instead is constantly trying to be substituted by a logical process made by a machine.

Of course in such a context we’d resonate with the movement that didn’t want logic and reason, but rather emotion and feeling.

And that is what makes me question: why now that we have pieces that remind us that art is the process and the creation, that art is what makes us feel and think and resonate with others. why now that we have the chance to remember that this is what being human is all about.

Maybe if you just let them race instead of babying them to the extent that people are rooting for Max to steal the tittle there’d be no need to upkeep a framework with your drivers 🤪

Don’t want your two top drivers to fight? too bad, should’ve worked with a driver1-driver2 framework since the beginning.

They’re both too good to do that, so they can both fight. Which means now they’re both equal, so they should be in all circumstances.
