New Hair ref !
My hair is no specific style, just a realy unruly mohawk. I curl it with a flat iron and pick it out with a wide-toothed comb.
The dark color is “Fushia” by ION on top of brown hair, the blue is “cyan” by ION on nearly white hair, and the little pink highlight is “hottie pink” by ION on blond hair.

yellwhale’ horse gets excited when they puts their hands in the air
LOOK AT MY HORSE
@notactuallycute
the horse looks kinda freaked out, I could be wrong since I don’t know a lot about horses but can someone check this out?
hello yes, this is my horse hawkeye, and he does look kinda freaked out but there is a funny story behind that
hawk somehow managed to puncture his right eye this year, and is now blind in that eye. thankfully, he is perfectly fine otherwise, and we are back to riding almost completely normal now, but him looking at me like this is not unusual, really
he’s wondering what i am doing with my hands and what is going on because i’m standing and leaning forward and moving in a way he is not familiar with, but he isn’t really freaked out. when we ride literally every time we stop for a break he will turn his head like this to look at me, with his good eye, almost always because he is hoping for a sugar cube. he does this frequently. he isn’t scared or anything, just wondering what i am doing.
if you look at his ears too, they aren’t pinned back or freaked out. he’s curious, his ears are pointed towards me and he perks his ears up when we start laughing
while i appreciate that you are concerned for my horse, i really do love him and would not be doing this if it legitimately scared him. maybe next time, instead of jumping to conclusions, you could ask the owner of the animal? see if there is any sort of story behind it?

I got a short story, if you're up for one, still: it's about one of my dogs. She's a standard poodle, black, and she's got a wicked sense of humor. Her favorite pastime: sitting very still in dark corners and melting out of the shadows after you pass. So, there'll be this vaguely menacing mass in the dark, staring at you when you turn around.... If you say her name, she'll wag her tail, but until then she just stares. It's the creepiest shit, but we still love her anyways.

tumblr linguists pls explain why ‘you’ sometimes needs to be ‘u’ and ‘u’ needs to be ‘you’ and how come i will mix and match my u’s and you’s within the same post or even the same sentence
the difference between “u” and “you” is really interesting to me too, and while there haven’t been a lot of plausible conclusions drawn about variable usage of the two, i’ve observed a few things about it.
one: tumblr has, effectively, its own dialect. in fact, different part of tumblr have different variants of this dialect. usage of “you” vs “u” is a part of this dialect.
(here’s a great video on the subject: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SDPasRas5u0)
two: a key feature of the “tumblr dialect” is fluidity — tumblr posts generally maintain a very specific cadence. variable usage of “u”/”you” occurs most frequently in order to increase fluidity of speech. the pattern is generally “you” at the beginning of a statement and “u”s in the body thereof. (this pattern is relatively consistent even if there is no beginning “you”.)
three: another factor seems to be emphasis, and authorial intent. “you” is used more frequently when the subject matter is serious, or, as one person already pointed out, if the statement is intended to be forceful. alternatively, “u” has an intrinsic flippancy that speakers frequently use in conjunction with humor, irony, or sarcasm.
four: authors will vary usage of “you”/”u” in instances of repetition, in part because the “tumblr dialect” involves a minimalistic approach to punctuation. (example: “omg i was so worried about u you know”)
five: users often use “u” instead of “you” to address people they know well or feel close to, almost as a form of endearment. (example: “i love u”, “are u ok”, etc.) because “you” carries with it a forcefulness or seriousness, “u” is used more frequently in casual, affectionate exchanges between friends.
six: users use “u” more often if they use other such abbreviations in the same post.
the key difference seems to be that “u” — as a single letter — feels diminutive, casual, and cute, in comparison to the full word “you”, which feels more serious, more professional, or more severe. though the have the same meaning on tumblr, their different connotations can be chalked up to their different visual presentations.
somebody who’s a more skilled linguist than i am should pick this up tbh, would love to hear about any conclusions that have been drawn about this
I am not a linguist, but I also note that some people use the “You” instead of “u” when “ya” could also be used like “I like u, ya know?” and it would be perfectly understandable like that too.
imho the internet has effectively brought back the formal/informal ‘you’ that was phased out of the english language hundreds of years ago, albeit in a purely text-based system (i have my own ideas about text-based language being the language of the future but i won’t get into that here) u takes the place of a less formal and less polite pronoun- you wouldn’t say ‘u’ in an email to the president, but you’d say that shit online or to friends and family conversely, ‘you’ has evolved to be more serious- receiving a ‘fuck you’ text is way more alarming than if it says ‘fuck u’ TL;DR- the internet allowed formal/informal you to re-evolve in english
