To the person reading this, I hope tonight treats you gently, and that tomorrow looks brighter. 

Babygirl I know fandom history that you wouldn’t even care about

i know fandom history that even I don’t care about

well, i know about lump fish

Good to see we’re all on the same page

I like this screenshot. I consistently hover between more than one specific identity and I obsessed for years over which one was “correct”, it felt imperative that I make the right choice.

Recently however, I’ve realized I no longer know nor care exactly where I fit. And I know for some their specific identity is very important and always will be very important to them, and that is 100% okay too. You do you, babes <3. Everyone deserves to live their identities exactly as they choose, whether it’s hyper-specific or just simply not straight and/or not cis.

For me, queer is more than enough 🌈🥰

it's kind of bullshit that people will react with horror to me discussing my fantasies/kinks until i clarify I'm the sub in them. like even my therapist was all like "ohhh it's ok to want to hold power so long as it's consensual" and then clearly relaxed when I clarified I wanted to be the sub.

i love you everyone and with rape kinks, those who want to roleplay kidnapping and abusing someone, i love you i love you i love you. this ain't me fishing for a dom/me to be clear---you are VALUED as a person, outside of your sexual fantasies. I care about you and appreciate you, and there is nothing wrong or bad about you!!!!

everyone liking this: please reblog!! I don't beg for reblogs but I genuinely want dom/mes, sadistics, etc to get some appreciation

I need everyone to know that the ship Götheborg, the world's largest ocean-going wooden sailing ship, answered a distress call the other day.

Imagine waiting for the coast guard or whatever to show up and instead a replica of 18th century merchant ship pulls up and tows you to the coast.

pov: you’ve been transported to the 17th century

#in the article it says that the sailboat sailors were concerned because they could not be towed quickly because of the kind of boat#so they asked Götheborg what type of ship they were and warned that they would not be able to go above a certain speed#and götheborg went ' we are also a sailboat. 50 meters length. no worries :) '#and the poor sailboat sailors were just like ' That's not possible. they have to be messing with us' and then the ship Rolled Up (via bunjywunjy)

I'm crying. Here's a photo of a sailor from the Götheborg watching over the little sailboat in tow:

From the story:

"Our destinies were linked for very long hours" is just knocking me out.

did i tell u guys i got into an argument on twitter bc i said foxes are dogs and someone tried to bring up their actual fuckin. classification or whatever and i just said “foxes are dogs cause they are fluffye” and they kept arguing with me. the entire time i was like “you will not survive the immigration to tumblr you are lucky we are not there right now”

This is especially funny because they aren’t even right. Foxes *ARE* dogs.

No they aren’t.

yes they are. because they are fluffye.

OK yes they are.

Dog

Dog

Different family, but same order as @pictures-of-dogs

No, they are the same family. They are the same kingdom, phylum, order and family. They separate at the genus.

They’re a dog.

yeah they’re fluffye

theyre literally not dogs theyre not even fluffy. can we get science tumblr over hear or what!?

checkmate athiests

fluffye

okay but they literally are dogs, for those who are confused

If foxes are dogs, then so are wolves, coyotes, dingoes, jackals, and several other extant and extinct species.

Behold! A dog.

of course it’s a dog you buffoon. it’s fluffye.

Why on earth would someone think “BUT IF THEY’RE DOGS SO AR -”

Like yes of course wolves are dogs, where have you been. Jackals are excellent doggies! So are coyotes. Why is this confusing.

I love that this is literally two completely different arguments running simultaneously.

That guy up there who said they’re not even fluffy was thinking of sharks

sharks are also dogs. ravenous water dogs, but still dogs

Sharks can NOT be dogs they are SMOOTH

Tags via @jenroses

sharks are smooth dogs

BEHOLD, a SHARK

smoof = boof = dog

sharks are dogs

if you are lucky you will love someone and their hair will thin and their breasts will sag and you will kiss them everywhere over and over again

I was having a conversation with someone who was lamenting over how to maintain attraction to our partners as their bodies change and age and feeling self conscious herself about that process and I was like. we should be so lucky as to see them through these many years as we are seen ourselves. Hope that helps u understand

reminds me of this quote i love

#literally not into sex in the slightest but i feel this information is important enough for a reblog

I really appreciate when people share info even when it's not relevant to them personally! you never know who might be following you who will really benefit from seeing it :)

Wouldn’t leave my mind sorry

In what world is tall muscular man not conventionally attractive

We've all been down here too long. I truly think there's a chunk of tumblr's population that can no longer survive sunlight.

women will say “hear me out” and show u a photo of pyramid head and then tumblr users will go “this is a perfectly normal man and an ice cold take”

men’s domestic helplessness is not cute or charming pls raise your sons to know how to cook a vegetable and wash their dirty sock i’m begging 

It’s called Weaponised Incompetence, and you should never fall for it.

If a man is doing a simple task badly, repeatedly, and you start to form the thought of “it’s easier/it will be done better if I do it myself”, STOP. PAUSE. REWIND.

Look at the man. Look at the things he does well. Does he work? Drive a car? Damn, is he highly educated? Does he consider himself an intelligent, capable man?

If yes to ANY OF THESE, but he “can’t do household labour well”? No dice. You’re being conned. He knows that if he does it badly, flatters you for “doing it better”, or simply says he can’t, you’re being conned.

You will be made a slave in your own home. Your abilities will be reduced to those of domesticity.

Laugh at these men. Make sure they know you’re not stupid. Keep correcting them until they get it right. Hell, even having to correct them, should be viewed as a heinous abuse of your time.

Get yourself a partner. Not a burden.

you know how people say soup is round and so it's messed up to put it in a square tupperware? that's how I feel every time I see a square watch

curious what your thoughts on this are then

It says guess bcs you're more likely to actually figure out what time it is that way.

How do you feel about Qlocktwo?

You know given my dyscaculia this is actually easier for me to read than a regular analog clock AND it's giving old school cheesy secret agent vibes so I think it's so ridiculous that it loops back around to being cool again. Still, wish it was round.

Okay this one I think you will probably like then

Reveal by Projects

Super easy to read

I have an addition:

"How do these clocks make you feel?"

Someone brought me this beauty for a battery change a few months ago

It wraps around your wrist and it's probably the coolest watch I've ever seen at work

That's actually the coolest watch I've ever seen in my entire life, thank you for sharing!

time is not a circle she is so obviously a spiral

The old school lack of transparency on tumblr is amazing because you assume the people you follow must all be equivalent to you and then you see someone write “I brought my youngest to college today” and someone else write “my mom wouldn’t let me listen to Ariana Grande when I was a kid” and then your head explodes

and we need that! keeps us humble. 

Then I'm just like WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU’RE AN ADULT

It goes the other way, too, because WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU'RE A CHILD?!!

I'm 16, that's like, barely a child

I'm in my 30s. You are baby

I'm older than both of you in a trenchcoat.

honestly one of the best things we can do for ourselves is realize that people of different ages than us can still be the same kind of person as us. it's humbling and it gives everyone involved a sense of continuity, and it busts those stupid generational stereotypes media is so fond of.

Things like grouping ppl in categories (Gen x VS gen α, neurotypical vs neurodivergent, tall vs smol) should help as a shorthand to gauge where ppl are coming from. It too often is used to make a us vs them distinction. The year I was born shaped me, but it doesn't determine me.

Fun* thing I learned in my latest session with my psychologist that I think other SA survivors might not realise just like I didn't.

*it's not that fun

I have truly impressive self esteem issues and have always considered myself the "ugly friend" something I have not managed to shake even after this realisation BUT. it was definitely significant for me to learn this.

When a man treats my friend as attractive, I consider it complimentary

When I perveive a man to see me as attractive, I consider it a threat

I always figured the babies had such serious faces because they were learning so hard. Like, learning to dance(for a baby) is just another skill like learning to hold a spoon or throw a ball.

Babies do not understand the relative utility of the skills they are learning so must approach all with the same level of intensity

I’m noticing an increase in new fic writers on AO3 who…uh…mayy not know how to format their fics correctly..so here is a quick and VERY important tip

Using a random fic of mine as example..

The left example: ✅✅✅

The right example: ❌❌❌

Idk how many times I’ve read a good fic summary and been so excited to read before clicking on it and being met with an ugly wall of text. When I see a huge text brick with zero full line breaks my eyes blur and I just siiiigh bc either I click out immediately or I grin and bear it…it’s insufferable!

If a new character speaks, you need a line break. If you notice a paragraph is becoming too large, go ahead and make a line break and/or maybe reconfigure the paragraph to flow better. I’m not a pro writer or even a huge fic writer but…please…ty…

This is a good thing to keep in mind! It is often and unfortunate that a really good fic doesn’t get love because its formatting makes it too difficult to read!

i’ve seen people say that books look like that though, which might be true, but reading a block of text on a piece of paper is different and a different kind of eye strain that reading the same text on a screen. Especially since AO3 formats based on the screen you read on.

legibility is incredibly important in work, both written and in art or comics. Did you ever notice that comics with extremely text rich speech bubbles are harder to read too?

books do not look like that; books have indentation to help you figure out where the hell the new paragraph is

I copied an formatted fic onto the AO3 site and had to manually go in and add breaks or indents.

Check your fics and adjust as needed if you want more readers
