Wouldn't you like to know

Love it when Rolling Stone puts out an article about the 25 most influential internet creators and I've only heard of 7 of them

Well I've only heard of two so you're doing better than I am!

I'm curious now since tumblr.com is home to such a specific audience and the list seems to be full of TikTokers and Instagramers. Is Instagramers the word?

Out of Rolling Stone's 25 Most Influential Creators of 2024,

reblog for a bigger sample size and also please tell me who, if any, you recognise?

*old man voice* back in my day tik tok was a ke$ha song

there are some ships out there that do not speak to me personally but i am an understander for. like i see what you are seeing. it just doesn't personally intrigue me. but i support you. you're right. we don't need to fight, let us hold hands.

I love that everyone is looking at the objective, scientific evidence that celestial bodies move over time and that therefore their position in space is no longer the same as it was thousands of years ago, meaning you were most likely not born under the same sign you thought you were, and going. Nah I dislike that I am NOT an Aeries. Fuck that noise.

insufferable article, here's the point:

me watching monsters inc as a kid: how did it take so long for anyone to figure out that human child laughter not only produced energy like screams, but was more effective, and that children aren’t actually dangerous at all?

me watching monsters inc now: monsters incorporated, a multi-billion dollar corporate giant, stood to make extra profits off a scream shortage because low supply with high demand makes it possible to charge a fortune for a necessary commodity and everyone has no choice but to pay the high prices because they can’t go without electricity. Therefore Monsters Inc, as well as any other major powers that may have existed at the start of the era of using scream energy, fabricated the idea that only screams could generate sustainable energy sources in order to create artificial scarcity, because laugh energy was far easier to obtain and far more efficient, and therefore stood to lower the value of energy due to surplus. They also fabricated the idea that human children were toxic, in order to a) make other monsters too afraid to go near them to do research and possibly discover the secret of laugh energy, and b) to make monsters so afraid of going near them that there is a shortage of scarers, making it harder for rival companies to rise up and create competition. Even in the monster world, capitalism is based on lies, greed and cruelty, and even monster companies have no qualms about using and abusing children to maximize profits.

yeah okay ill reblog that

Artificial scare-city if you will

I wanted someone to play it as soon as I saw it and they delivered

RB this if you're a blog that loves Eddie Diaz BUT doesn't post hate about Tommy Kinard, or you know blogs that are like this. Eddie girlies (gn) who also ship Bucktommy/ like Tommy Kinard are going Through It™️ right now. It just feels like there's not many Eddie friendly blogs that don't also post rancid takes about Tommy.

RDR2 Timeline

To help with writing my fics, especially the pre-game ones, I made this timeline for myself using dialogue/notes from the game, the official game guide by Piggyback, and the wiki (which is generally very good at linking back to its sources). And I figure other people might find it useful as well! For simplicity’s sake, when birth dates are ~approximate~, I just assume that it’s the correct year for latter age calculations. So:

~1844 – Hosea born

~1846 – Strauss born

<1849 – Uncle born

1855 – Dutch born

~1860 – Micah born

1863 – Arthur born. It’s implied that Dutch’s father died in the Battle of Gettysburg (July 1-3). Strauss arrives in America.

1866 – Bill born.

1870 – Dutch leaves home.

1873 – John born

~1875 – Dutch (20) and Hosea (31) meet (Dutch’s alliance with Colm possibly pre-dates this)

1877 – Dutch and Hosea run the Kettering con. Arthur (14) meets Dutch (22) and Hosea (33). Susan presumably joins them not long after. Abigail is born. Micah (17) is on the run with his father for a brutal double homicide. 

~1878 Hosea and Bessie try to leave the outlaw life (possibly the year before as Arthur was ‘too young to remember’?)

~1880 – Lenny born

1881 – John’s father dies, John is sent to an orphanage. Dutch’s mother, Greta Van der Linde, dies (but Dutch doesn’t know this until years later.)

1884 – John kills someone for the first time.

1885 – John (12) is rescued by Dutch (30), Hosea (41) and Arthur (22). Hosea and Bessie get their picture taken together.

1887 – First bank robbery. John is 14, Arthur is 24, Hosea is 43, Dutch is 32.

1892 – Bill is dishonourably discharged from the army.

1893 – Bill tries to rob Dutch, joins the gang

1894 – Abigail (17) joins the gang, gets pregnant.

1895 – Jack is born. Javier joins the gang. Lenny’s father is killed ~this year. Karen helps Arthur and Javier rob a bank between this year and 1897.

1896 – Jack is 1, John leaves. Sadie and Jake get married.

1897 – John returns.

1898 – The gang are in Montana, Copper eats all the salmon. Copper passes away. Jenny joins the gang. Micah saves Dutch’s life in a bar, joins the gang. Charles joins the gang. Lenny joins the gang late in the year.

1899 – Main game. Opening cutscene takes place in May. Arthur (36), John (26), Dutch (44), Hosea (55), Abigail (22), Jack (4), Lenny (19), Karen (mid-twenties) (can’t think of any other mentioned character ages??)

1907 – Epilogue. John (34), Abigail (30), Jack (12). Arthur would have been 44.

If anyone’s got any other stated events, let me know and I’ll add em in!

I see this is doing the rounds again, but the one being reblogged seems to be the old, incorrect version that said Sadie and Jake got married in ‘86 not ‘96 (think I typoed when I was taking the initial notes oops). This is the corrected version!
