We all know the Tumblr promo was a misfire.
But as someone who has never partaken in either the anime or manga, this show was an absolute delight. It's not going to vibe with everyone and that's part of the joy. It's stylistic and bold and takes big swings. Light enough for a teen audience and complex enough for adults. Flawless casting also.
One episode is enough to know if you enjoy it and I 100% endorse giving it a try.
For any of my mutuals, I would very much appreciate it if you could tag anything relating to the SAG-AFTRA or WGA strike appropriately.
I support any union's right to industrial action, but I, along with many other people outside of those unions, am now facing the risk of unemployment because of these strikes. This is a stressful time with, quite honestly, a lot of dubious narrative being thrown around, and I'd like to be able to keep browsing Tumblr without the constant reminder of any of it.
Q:What is crab day?
A: well, a celebration of how strangely cursed our little corner of the internet can be. It's also a community lead funding. Push. Tumblr costs money to run, if we want to keep our little corner of the internet it's weird unique self, we're going to have to foot part of the bill.
Q: when is crab day?
A: July 29th. I would have preferred a slightly longer lead time to get the word out better, But we work with what we can get and July 29th has already gotten some traction in other groups.
Q: how do I participate?
A: buy a mutual crabs, or if you're broke, crab post crab memes.
Q: why crabs?
A: because admit it. most of us would love to get or give crabs to a mutual.

OUR GIRL IS COMING TO COMICS FOR REAL, NOT JUST MOVIE ADAPTATIONS.
100% here for the Wanda-Darcy team up. Let's fucking go.
RIP.
This hurts my fandom heart.
When MMPR first aired, I was too old to be the target audience, but not so old as to avoid developing ridiculous crushes on characters. The gateway drug to my first commited fandom.
I wrote mediocre self-insert fanfic (Tommy and Kimberly’s child from the future, naturally) that was gently and patiently edited by a shipper writer whose work I so desperately admired. I can’t remember the lady’s name, but she forever taught me how to treat fans younger than myself, and that kindness matters more than critiques.
For a long time, if you Googled my name, on the first page of results, it would pop up with a Power Rangers link. No, I wasn’t a Big Name Fan, but I was pals with them and we got up to some hijinks.
My family bought me a stuffed white tiger toy for christmas. Not a White Tiger in the sense of the character that JDF played. The four-legged, furry kind, but the reference was intentional. The stuffed tiger still sleeps on my bed, 20+ years later, because pieces of fandom stay with you, long after that burning passion for it has faded.
Browsing through the clock app, IG, and Tumblr, trying to figure out why this one hurts so much, I’ve read other people’s stories. About being kids in the school yard, trying to ninja-kick each other. About conventions and prized photos with sprawling green-inked signatures. Distant memories of a 90s childhood through to grief-laden loss over a man they had spoken to on the phone not a few weeks ago.
I still haven’t figured out why I’m continuing to tear up. Why it’s hitting in a way that other para-social/fan losses haven’t.
But there is comfort in knowing I’m not alone.
Can you tell Sarabitch I have better things to do with my life then harass her. You are the ones with these dumb blogs and fanfics, not me . I do have life. Tah Tah .
🤨
See, back in the day, I used to make fun of troll anon questions. Then I realised they were inevitably too stupid to comprehend they were being mocked, and accepted the best solution was to simply delete and ignore.
But I also haven't posted anything on this blog for awhile, and have limited ducks to give, so here goes: Nonny, you are a pathetic, miserable, nasty person. I'd say I was sorry your life was shit, but I suspect 90% of your misery is self inflicted. It often is with people like you.
I could say to go sit in the sunshine or find a hobby that doesn't involve being an obnoxious twat waffle. But you won't. You get your kicks on some misplaced sense of superiority, when you're actually a boring, toxic person behind the computer with zero redeeming qualities.
Go have the empty and hollow day you deserve.
For anyone else reading this - never let anon hate get under your skin. They are honestly the dredges of humanity. Run your blogs, create whatever piece of fiction or art you like. Life is short, be kind, and embrace what brings you joy (unless your joy comes from being a dick. Then get therapy instead)
You've come a long way, baby
y’all I’m crying dean devlin just liked my tweet about the ot3

The lingering TaserHawk fan in me looks and goes ‘Aww, the coffee cup has arrows on it.’

The irony of the brexiters celebrating being free of "unelected bureaucrats" by signing God Save The Queen is astounding
