I. Ohmygod ahhhhhhhh this is amazing, you really captured what was going on in the scene and the mood of the whole thing and --- this is so amazing, thank you so very very very much!
THESIS: the real reason that people stay on this hellsite is not “chronological order” or “the drama” or whatever (per se), but is instead linked to how tumblr, unlike most social media, is not optimised to give content as short of a half-life as possible, but instead is optimised to let content continue to cycle for months, years, even decades. this has in turn led to a more consistent centralised site “culture” in which there is more coherent linkage among different areas of the site, thus also explaining why its content permeates so thoroughly throughout the internet.
I really think everyone needs to truly internalize this:
Fictional characters are objects.
They are not people. You cannot "objectify" them, because they have no personhood to be deprived of. They have no humanity to be erased. You cannot "disrespect" them, because they are not real.
An equal and opposite truth:
The actors, directors, writers, etc that create this characters are people.
They are real. They exist independent of the characters and your opinions. You have no right to them, their opinions, or their relationships. They have no responsibility to you. You cannot force them to follow your fantasy.
THIS is a good addition.
can I share a hot take on here. is this a safe space
the dunmeshi fans who think it isn't horny are loudly sharing their misconceptions the same way the really annoying wow classic fans were

reblog to put a discarded fruit sticker on the forehead of the person you reblogged from in whimsical jest
i keep seeing people talk about their bfs/husbands weaponizing incompetence to avoid grocery shopping or purposefully fucking it up. mine doesn't do that he'll shop on his own prerogative like an actually functional adult, his issue is he occasionally brings home a Cursed Item
it is. uh. not good tasting
i am also jewish he literally brought this home specifically to offend me
wake up babe the 11th plague just dropped
you people are NOT reblogging this
Turn on your timestamps though because I think I will legitimately lose my mind if I see one more news post from 2017 getting shared like it's recent or another fundraiser post from 2014 made by a deactivated blog. Seriously. Please. I'm so tired. And stop starting discourse with people on posts over comments they made 3+ years ago.
"CAN YOU BELIEVE THIS IS HAPPENING?!?!?! EVERYONE NEEDS TO KNOW ABOUT THIS!!!!!!" That post is from 2015 and it's a screenshot of a tweet making a false claim about something that Snopes has since debunked multiple times, please turn on timestamps and stop falling for conspiracy theories and fear mongering.

in blood and tears
i am. obsessed with the way gortash keeps the circle of trauma and abuse rolling. babygirl you keep your parents lobotomised and forced to repeat they love you. they try to poison you. you keep crawling back home anyway. you retrace your parents footsteps into your childhood and repeat what's been done to you tenfold. your parents say they are proud of you. they say you deserved it. you keep crawling back home anyway.
Gortash, his silk robe dramatically billowing behind him as he’s running down the stairs, because he received a letter from his crush (the most prolific serial killer in Baldur’s Gate) that he must respond to as soon as possible.
