We need to have a nomination for “Stupidest thing Tumblr.com has ever believed” and just move into an official Top 10 List.

For my nominations, I’m putting up:

  • If you eat a chocolate bar a very specific way, you will break physics and get infinite chocolate.

or

  • It is impossible that you spelled “Berenstain Bears” wrong and is, instead, more likely that the universe fractured into separate, overlapping realities in the last 20 years.

I can’t decide which is more beautiful. It’s why we need a vote.

this is a picture of the human brain at the moment of death. tragic and beautiful

Fuck. That is a damn good nomination.

if you close your eyes when the train hits your brain will assume you are dead. Some find this comforting.

We’re getting into the good ones now. This is some classic Tumblr.

Two old favourites:

“Bitch, That’s the Tubby Custard Machine” (http://imgur.com/gallery/IObQF)

and the horse dildo that was passed off as someone’s arm. (http://abakkus.tumblr.com/post/48958415162)

This is rapidly becoming a master post of ignorances and I could not possibly be happier.

Please stop trigger tagging with #epilepsy tw/cw/warning/etc.

I need every single person to understand how horrible tumblr’s tagging system is

I go into the tag for epilepsy and its all flashing lights. We can’t use our own tag because people without epilepsy fill it up with improper warnings.

Use ‘flashing’ in place of ‘epilepsy’ in your tags. You aren’t warning people of epileptics, you’re warning us of flashing lights. Please please tag properly. Epileptics say this endlessly and constantly and it’s ignored. You are risking lives by doing this.

Here’s proof of what I mean:

THIS POST IS 100% OKAY TO REBLOG, I ENCOURAGE PEOPLE WITHOUT EPILEPSY TO ESPECIALLY DO SO!

Just to clarify, in case people are wondering: Tumblr allows people to automatically block posts with certain tags.

So that if there is something flashing in your post (or something that causes a flashing effect when scrolling, like the first design I came up with for the Disability Pride Flag), tagging that post with “Flashing” will allow people who do have epilepsy to block that post and not be harmed by it.

(this is also why you should never censor your tags on Tumblr, BTW. We’re not TikTok; you won’t be penalized for having certain words in your tags. But if you alter a tag that people are using to control their own dashboards, it won’t be blocked, and they’ll see something they don’t want to – or be exposed to something that could cause them serious harm).

Harringrove for C, or just Billy for P?

Avatar

Billy Hargrove is desperate for touch. Steve can tell by the way Billy's fingers wriggle under the hem of his shirt whenever he's close enough (and Billy is always close enough). Blunt fingernails will scratch lightly at his lower back when he's fighting with the coffeemaker on the counter, before Billy even says "hi" or "fuck you" or anything. And then, he'll just rest them there, the slightest touch of skin on skin, like Billy can't help but reach over and soak up Steve's warmth, like he can't stand not to be touching Steve.

And like, Steve actually listens when Robin tells him about her psychology classes and her papers and shit. He's had an experience or two himself, of course, so he's not exactly a stranger to trauma. So he understands that Billy might actually hunger for it, in that nebulous way that Steve tosses concepts around in his brain. He gets it in that same unspoken way that he gets why Billy doesn't talk to his dad and why Max spends a lot of time at their place instead of home. 

But he doesn't know what to do with it.

The truth is that Steve? Steve also longs for touch, loves to get his hands on Billy. But after a little bit, Steve can't stand the feeling, tries to twist away because sometimes, the simple brush of Billy's fingers against his skin sends shocks skittering through his skin. 

"It's good," he tries to explain. It's important to him that Billy knows Steve wants the touch as much as Billy wants to give it. "It's just... too much. Sometimes? Like, it's so good it almost hurts."

And Billy says, soothingly, "You don't have to explain, baby." Later, when they're curled around each other on top of the blankets and half-asleep, he'll add that he likes touching something without also having to destroy it.

top tier character-building device in pokemon games is when a seemingly antagonistic character has a golbat on their team and then later has it evolved into a crobat, which requires significant friendship, thus signalling that the character was always a kind person inside (plumeria), is growing past their issues and learning to be kinder (silver), may hold a spark of kindness that undermines their cold and calculating image (cyrus), etc etc

Meanwhile, Ghetsis—who is an antagonist who pretends to be an advocate for Pokemon rights—faces off against you with an under-leveled Hydreigon, which in the canon lore of the series only happens when someone forces evolution early, and that Hydreigon uses a full-power Frustration in B2W2, suggesting that it absolutely loathes Ghetsis.

For any non-pokemon players:

In pokemon games, there’s a hidden stat called friendship, which maxes out at 255 points; there are two (major) moves that are affected by this:

Return, which gets stronger the higher a pokemon’s friendship stat is, capping at 102 base power with 255 friendship (for context, hyper beam has a base power of 150)

And frustration, which does the opposite, getting stronger the lower a pokemon’s friendship stat is, capping out at 102 base power when the pokemon is at 0 friendship

The EXTRA fucked up thing is, almost NO pokemon has a base friendship of 0. The only pokemon that do are legendary pokemon and buneary. So Ghetsis actively lowered his Hydreigon’s friendship, and the only way to do that in-game is to let your pokemon faint often without using healing items on them

In other words Ghetsis is a major cunt

I have insane stress dreams

Last night I dreamed that I got into a fistfight with beloved country singer Randy Travis. We were shooting a 20s gangster movie, and the strikingly well-dressed baby was holding the last shrimp cocktail and the last bear claw. For some reason we were on a skyscraper that was built on a yacht.

Anyway, he won, I got knocked off of the yacht, and I woke up wanting a donut.
