people who said pit bull (one of the most gentle animals) was an aggressive breed must’ve never met a chihuahua in their entire lives
because if chihuahuas were the size of pit bulls, humanity would be doomed
I love nerds sm omg like when you finish calculating those aerodynamics come over here and let me kiss you
it would be this type of kiss
with pavitr having his hair out of the mask, and hugging gayatri when he saves her, and having The Worst attempt at disguising his voice out of all the spiderkids (which is saying something, when you're up against miles and gwen) - i love the idea that everybody in mumbattan absolutely knows that pavitr prabhakar is spider-man, but all have an unspoken agreement to never actually acknowledge it, because he's sweet and helpful and god, he's just a kid.
tourists and visitors and people just moving there will gesture to his very visible and easily identifiable hair and open their mouths to comment on it, and the nearest Seasoned Member of the Pavitr Prabhakar Defense Committee™ will slap a hand over their mouth and wrangle them in the opposite direction before they can blow his cover and get him arrested
tumblr mobile has seadily become near unusable these past few updates. not just from a user experience perspective (which is important enough in itself) but also from an accessibility perspective.
examples include the new way the image viewer works (if you can call it "working"), the tumblr live button replacing the profile button, and that newly created blogs will be forced to have their main dashboard tab be the 'for you' page.
reverse the recent image viewer update
scrap the new users 'for you' page default setting
let us turn off tumblr live indefinitely
increase efforts against spam / porn bots
make reporting abuse and hate speech as easy as reporting as reporting spam
let us go nuts show nuts again... for real this time
commit to improving usability and accessibility, and listening to users!
(suggestions welcome!)
to protest against these usability issues, and inspired by the recent reddit blackout, i propose a 48 hour blackout (where you don't use tumblr at all). preferably of both mobile and web (since web has problems too) but mobile is the focus here.
this marks the end of pride month (for the "queerest place on the internet") and the start of disability month (since accessibility is a massive issue here).
tumblr office is in San Francisco, USA, so the times and dates will be calculated using their time zone (PDT).
i can't afford to blaze this post so please spread it around as much as possible! protests only work if significant numbers show up!
In four days, this picture will have been posted ten years ago. This was me as a 15 year old in high school. I had starved and abused my body to make it thinner. I hated myself. The only value I felt was my proximity to thinness. I was severely depressed and suicidal. I had endured abuse and trauma as a child, and that left me vulnerable to being taken advantage of by my "friend" on the right who abused and traumatized me further before throwing me away as soon as I told her "No."
I look even thinner in this picture, yet my face was still and always will be fat. My face was one of the biggest signs that my body I starved was meant to be fat from the beginning. The "friend" I mentioned in the other photo is cosplaying Nemo here. The 22 year old woman cosplaying Gill in this photo had an intimate relationship with me at this time when I was 15 years old. I was extremely vulnerable and grieving unbearable loss, and she used that to groom me. I look at these pictures and see a 15 year old girl who was suffering and only had her proximity to thinness to feel pride in. There was no happiness. So many points in my life I was close to developing a full on eating disorder because I had been told for two decades that my body was ugly, disgusting, and the physical equivalent of sin.
This is me ten years later at my brother's wedding. I gained back all of the weight I lost back then and am heavier than any past moment of my life. I still have mental disorders that make my life painful and difficult to live, but I am no longer suicidal. I no longer am fruitlessly chasing the thin body I was always told I was supposed to have. I have a healthier relationship with my body than I ever did in the past, and I'm making immense progress on my recovery. I don't starve myself anymore. I don't exercise for two hours a day on high levels that are dangerous for me. I intuitively eat and know that diet culture and fatphobia are wrong. I am closer to fully recovering than I've ever been.

This doesn't apply to necessarily right now, but I am in need of a beta reader to read over and edit my chapters before I publish them.
Specifically for the blue lock kainess royalty au fic I'm writing right now.
It is going to be a longer fic with 13 chapters and roughly 5k~ words per chapter (VERY rough estimate though). I'm trying out new things with the story and writing and trying to make it more polished, so it would be nice to have an editor to look over it and give critique.
Once again, not urgent right now bc I'm very slowly making my way to finishing the first draft of chapter 1 and exams are coming soon, so perhaps in a couple of weeks when classes are over.
If anyone is interested, feel free to shoot me a dm :) the help would very much be appreciated!
I hate it when you’re reading smut and you can’t figure out what position they’re in.
if you had to compile a "best moments" compilation of the bonefall rewrite, what would you want in there?
Hmm... Like a top 5? Sure, here's some favorite moments I think about a lot in no particular order;
Fallen Leaves sees her mother Squirrelpaw as a young woman after a hundred years of isolation, knowing that her wait is almost over
Bristlefrost lining up to body check Ashfur out of heaven, burning up as a shooting star
Speckletail buying just a little bit more time by driving a bulldozer into a ravine
The moment that clarity washes over Mistyfoot in the middle of another Clan argument when she looks up at Leopardstar, catching her fascinated gaze, Tigerstar amber, Dark Forest red, the setting sun turning the highstump into the silhouette of the bonehill below her. She realizes that Hawkfrost wasn't the cause of the fighting in RiverClan, he was a victim in his own way, and these ideas will not die unless they are killed.
Bramblestar gives Stupidhead a dishonor title so funny and bad that it backfires and everyone just laughs at him
Imagine how much better the world would be if the harry potter books were never written
