we still get immediately shoved out of our immersion in tv shows or films when The Girl find a dead body and immediately shrieks - we just don't find it realistic because we're pretty confident most people would gasp rather than shriek (i.e. sharp inhale rather than sharp exhale) and it also feels unnecessarily (and predictably) misogynistic too, as men encountering corpses almost never do the same on screen

also of course please do tell us if you've actually encountered a corpse unexpectedly, because tumblr is absolutely a place where some people have done this thing and we love a good anecdote

suddenly imagining "burst into song" as a potential response

between tiktok and youtube slop, kids these days are subjected to possibly one of the worst media diets in the history of mankind. unlike me who was raised on the same 10 commercials for corn syrup products cycling between variety shows, as nature intended

Tumblr constantly has gems like this where someone says something seemingly inane but it’s actually a thought we’ve all had at some point in our lives

Someone just said that my examples in the "train yourself away from idolizing lawns and perfectly manicured gardens" post were "still very upper middle class" and like. Y'all really forget not everyone lives in a city? That is the ONLY sense I can make of such a buck-ass wild statement? "Fellas, is it bougie to have... A YARD?" Does this person have literally no concept of a place where poor people don't only live in apartment buildings? Because there are thousands of dirt-poor towns out there where there's no such thing as an apartment building. Have they never seen a trailer park? I ASSURE you, the people living around me here are not "upper middle class". Upper middle class. Fucking hell y'all need to leave the city sometimes.

I'm not done. I swear to god like 60% of this country out here treating most of their own country same as they'd treat a vacation. They just drive highways between points and mostly stay in their cities and legit do not know what it's like in 90% of the actual physical country.

And they better learn, because for some FUCKING reason nobody EVER discusses why "red" vs. "blue" isn't about states, actually, except in that it's about what states have more urban population than rural. Maryland is traditionally blue as hell. By which we mean that Annapolis and DC and the exurbs are blue. Out here, my landmark turn to a friend's place is "the liberal butt sign", which is an extra-large poster that says "average liberal voter" and has a photomanip of a man in a suit with his head up his ass. Out here, for years there was a place near my old house with a Trump effigy at the top of a crane truck bucket. If you want to reach people out here, you better start having the slightest clue what their lives are like and what they care about.

And acting like they must be doing fine financially because they own some GRASS isn't a great start.

So we all know that Tumblr is US-centric. But to what degree? (and can we skew the results of this poll by posting it at a time where they should be asleep?)

Reblog to increase sample size!

i finished reading your story and i must say that, while it's alright, there's so many plot holes because the characters made irrational decisions and didn't think logically 100% of the time. consider fixing this next time please

also, the fact your characters weren’t able to overcome their internal struggles is a massive plot hole. everyone knows emotions are very easy to understand and sort, and the fact your characters acted on them was such a massive story contrivance it broke my sense of belief. please fix this.
