Beauty Standards Are So Fucked Up What Happened To I Love Your Body Because It's You. What Then.

Forcing myself to take a podcast T-break because I keep finishing/catching up with every one that I start before the new episode of a different one that I'm caught up with is out and then I go stir crazy without the little voices in my ears telling me their horrific tales

Those brothers Supernatural will be like we know each other better than anybody and we are inextricably bound by the private trauma of our shared childhood that nobody else could ever understand and we have both sworn sacred oaths to each other. and not even realize that they are thinking of different childhoods. and have sworn different oaths. and there is so much that they have misunderstood about each other and that they can never go back to the way they were before because WE WERE NEVER THAT WAY BEFORE.

to those of you who are moving here from tiktok, from someone whos used both tiktok and tumbr for years...

1. DO NOT censor your posts

dont censor sex, abuse, suicide, dont censor it. we dont have censors like tiktok does, you wont be banned for talking about these things and tagging them properly helps people avoid them (also, we dont have shadowbanning here)

2. we dont really have an algorithm

you follow who you follow, and you see posts from who you follow or what you search. the 'for you page' is basically useless here. this also brings me to my next two points

3. dont crosstag

we get it, on tiktok you have to crosstag for reach, but thats not really a thing here. just tag your posts properly (also posters often leave more info about the post in the tags!! and when you reblog stuff you can leave your own notes in the tags, kind of like the old "repost comments" on tiktok)

4. dont expect to go viral/be famous

"viral" isnt really a thing on here (at least not for the average blogger). your posts will probably get 2-10 likes and you wont get nearly as many followers than on tiktok. thats just how tumblr is

5. blocking is your best friend

tiktok is VERY discussion based, and while tumblr is much more discussion based than other social medias, its still not a good place for ragebait/discourse. dont interact, itll make your experience worse in the end, just block and move on

6. you cant go into someone elses house and start rearranging their furniture

this is tumblr, not tiktok. dont diss old tumblr users for how they use the site or try to change them, thats like going into someone elses house and trying to rearrange their furniture. we've been here longer and we're familiar with the site and its culture, either find your niche, adapt, or find a different app

You know, they always talk about elder gods thinking about humanity like a bunch of insects to explain the pure indifference of the perspective but what if there was one that did that with the pure enthusiasm of an entomologist, like imagine some ancient god caring for their modern worshippers like a bee keeper or some creature from before the stabilization of time seeing a particularly interesting group of humans and essentially putting them in a jar like fireflies!

if you can’t handle me when I’m covered in my own blood then you don’t deserve me when I’m covered in someone else’s blood 💅💅💅💅🫃💅💯💯💯💯

Y'all. Why is bltchy Stolas so 🤌🔥

"I love him, I think he should have a hearty meal and a stable environment where he can safely and comfortably work through his emotions" and "I am going to inflict influenze on him" are statements that can coexist

This feels relevant, somehow.

Oh, look what came up as I searched for that tweet. Huh. Interesting.
