Last Week, I Learned That The English Language Has More Euphemisms For Death Than Any Other Language.

Okay hi tumblr..,..

What’s up. I have OCD and anxiety, and here on tungl dot com, there is a nice little type of post that makes my blood pressure flip the fuck out every time, and it’s those “if you are reading this [x]” / “reblog and [y] will happen” type reblog memes

You know the ones: money cat, lucky xyz post, that sort of shit. The revival of old school yahoo viral email chains. Even immunity rabbit or whatever – same premise. Anything that says, ‘By reading or reblogging this post, you are activating some specific effect.’

Basically, most people can probably ignore them easily if they don’t like them; but others, especially those with particular psychological conditions (aka, ME) can actually suffer stress responses to posts like this. Obsessive-compulsive, schizophrenic spectrum, anxious, paranoid, magical thinking type disorders especially can see a superstitious post and have it automatically activate an anxious or compulsive reaction, because to the brain, it’s like a new rule/parameter has suddenly been introduced to your environment without warning. Now suddenly, whatever atypical structures frame your brain function have to accommodate for an alien factor. <- I don’t know if any of this really makes sense; it’s hard to articulate in a NT-accessible manner, but hopefully the general gist comes through.

Anyway. So far it’s been basically impossible for me (and therefore, I presume, others as well) to avoid posts like this, because they don’t tend to have any sort of universally recognized term to tag warn for. As a result I’m basically always playing Russian roulette with my dashboard.

A while ago, I asked tweeter followers to vote on the best thing to call these, and most agreed that ‘superstitious posts’ was fitting. So now I’m asking tomblr users to consider making my life and others’ lives easier and less stressful in One Easy Step:

Please

tag for #superstitious posts !

It would... honestly make a big difference if this were standardized and I will be eternally grateful ❤️😪

(Ok & encouraged for ppl to reblog this!!!)

This is so beautiful I'm crying 😭🥺✨🌼🦋

red rose

[ID]

Pic 1: this isn’t about her i swear.

Pic 2: it’s the storm of red roses, universal symbol of love, isn’t it? Almost clichè.

Pic 3: there’s an arabian tale, about a little nightingale.

Pic 4: nights came, she sang to the ones she adored with all her soul. The white rose glimmering under the moonlight like a thousand diamonds it shine. Immaculate and pristine petals like white satin, it beamed. Euphonious notes left her throat when she professed her admiration, the white rose, in turn bloomed, gleamed in joy.

Pic 5: sinless to the bare eye, her dearest, the white rose the little bird would lay down her own life, just to be one with the fair beauty. And then she did.

Pic 6: unable to endure the agony, overcome by passion, such undeniable love, poetry will be written about. She moves close, her body pricked by thorns. The saintly rose now covered with the blood of its lover. All red

Pic 7: red roses a symbol of burning desire yearning and longing for a love worth dying for.

Pic 8: should I buy her a red rose?
