Mating Season Is... A Choice

reverse gatekeeping. I am on my knees begging people to engage with the source material

in honor of 4chan exploding, I want to remind you all that they used to do “raids” on Tumblr.

they tried to flood the popular tags with gore and porn. this was when Homestuck was at its peak, so they were a target too. (side note: tags barely functioned at all at this point so trying to make them useless was like throwing a molotov into an already burning building but try telling that to 4channers)

but the Homestuck fandom was ready and countered by flooding the tag with weirder, more explicit Homestuck porn and gore.

to the point that the trolls themselves got weirded out, fucked off, and never attempted a “raid” again.

everyone moved on but I stayed there because that is one of the funniest fucking things to happen on this website.

This is my discomfort character I want to see them in unimaginable pain

Bots Bots Bots! Hate 'em or find them amusing, they're in the way, so what can we do about them?

Bots on Tumblr are a nuisance to the roughly 135 million users that call this hellsite home, typically posting sexually explicit content in hopes of luring a poor soul into their tricky clutches.

We aim to minimize the amount of time these bots posts are up in our community, so here's what you can do to help us mods out:

Reporting, Protecting, & Taking Down:

Report It! Locate the three dots in the top right corner of the post, open it, and select 'report to moderators'. This overrides all of our other notifications from the community, highlighting the reported post so we can find it quicker. Note: You can also report their profile/post to Tumblr.

Make a border post! We want to minimize how many people are exposed to this bot post, as they are typically sexual. This kind of content can be especially triggering to some, or harmful to under aged members. Guide: "Bot Below!" {10 or so spaces} "Take Care!"

Block! These bots tend to mass post across several communities, so block their user! This means that now that you've seen them once, it won't happen again while browsing your other communities. Note: They typically get banned very quickly, and new bots appear. It's a game of whack-a-mole, and it never ends, so more of them will pop up.

Theyre traumatized and pedophilia seems to be becoming increasingly more normalized in our society. (I don't have sources to back that up, it's just an observation I've made so PLEASEEEE take it with a grain of salt)

You are fighting for your life with these kids simping over their teachers buddy

It’s concerning WHY DO YOU LIKE YOUR TEACHERS

Would you forgive a TERF or a transphobe if they changed their mind?

Well, if they changed their mind then that means they're not a terf anymore, doesn't it? You stop being one when you stop holding onto their beliefs.

You wouldn't hate an adult person whom you met when they were 30 because they used to be a baby and you hate kids, would you?

There's a very specific corner of the Kas! Eddie AU that I love so much (as a Steddie shipper) and that's Kas! Eddie just grabbing Steve and flying off with him.

Like the group show up in the Upside Down for one reason or another, or maybe Kas! Eddie shows up in the Rightside Up through one of the giant cracks in the Crust of the Earth, and everyone is shocked frozen, because it's Eddie, he's there, but he's wrong. He has wings and claws and fangs and he's on the offensive against them.

Dustin tries to get to him, to talk to Eddie, but it appears to do nothing. It's almost like he doesn't speak English anymore. He's feral, almost. He scans the group and his gaze lands on Steve, and something flashes in his eyes. A sort of recognition, maybe. He dives in, faster than anyone can really process, grabs Steve, and flies off.

Everyone panics, of course, they panic. Now the Upside Down, Vecna, has Steve and they don't know why. Eddie- Kas- has air superiority and speed on his side, and they have a job to do. Dustin and Robin and freaking out the most, because that's their guy! Like, everyone cares about Steve to some degree, but that's Robin and Dustin's Guy!

The killer is their imagination. The possibilities of what could be happening to Steve, that they couldn't see. Was he dead? Was he being tortured? Being turned into something like Kas? As time goes on, their imagination spirals further and further, and they're pretty powerless to do much about it right at that moment.

Bonus points if it switches back and forth between Steve's perspective and everyone else's perspective. Where Steve registers as an ally to Kas, because he has a smaller dose of the venom that turned Eddie, through the bat bites. So Eddie, a pack creature at heart, takes Steve into his nest and he just lays on top of the guy like an oversized cat and starts a category five purring event.

Through the power of love, friendship, and this bat that Steve found, Steve is able to wake up the Eddie part of Kas and get him to work on the side of Humanity against Vecna.

And they kiss about it.

Yeah you could say I’m doing numbers on tumblr. And that numbers? One
