Stephen: What are you doing with your life?
Peter: It’s a surprise.
You know, an interesting tumblr transformation that's happened gradually, and which I've seen no one talk about: ask-culture has essentially dropped off to nothing.
By which I mean, asks used to be WAY more of the tumblr economy. They used to be more common to send, and receive, and see. They were integral to the collaborative, forum-like behavior of old tumblr communities, not even to speak on the HUGE number of ask-blogs that used to exist to only be interacted with in ask-form.
I'm not saying this in a vying-for-attention way but instead in an observational way: I used to get way way more asks in like 2015, even with a fraction of my follower count. I wonder if it's due to the homogenization of social media sites? There's a lot more of this divide between "content creator" and "consumer" instead of just a bunch of peer blogs who would talk to each other. "Asks" aren't really a thing on twitter, are they? And as I understand it, the closest thing to an "ask" on instagram or tiktok would be a creator screenshotting some comment and responding to it in a new reel or video or whatever those content mediums are. Are asks just too tumblr-specific? Is that aspect of the site culture dying out as more and more people converge to using all their social media sites in the same way?

Just started 'Hidden Agenda ' Watched the trailer now I'm on Episode 1 (1/4). Ooh I'm excited 😊. A few things to start
I like Zo's friends (sidenote: Kot is cute)
Nita is pretty and I like her pink sweater
That intro was very cool and interesting to see. Also, it's giving foreshadowing lol
Joke really trying to start sh!t. Like bro chill
But it doesn't feel super hostile/antagonistic. Like, less enemies-to-lovers and more estranged rivals-to-friends-to-lovers if that makes sense lol
UPDATE: Zo just PUNCHED Joke right in the face! 😮
Also:
Blue light bathroom. It's a vibe
Not Zo really willing to punch himself in the face! And Joke realizing how seriously he means it!
Joke just all about that closeness! OMG stop 🤭
Zo really did the Trip-and -Catch twice! I can't! 😆
Their banter is ✨ SOLID ✨ So cute ☺️
Hit em with the bruh button. Nah but fun debate scene.
I want to try Roselle juice and chrysanthemum tea
I low-key thought Zo was going to be allergic to eggs when Joke offered up his food. He's not
I agree with Zo. When did Joke start on their deal/plan? Bish where??
That outro is a bop
So, I got on a dating site, filled out the info and everything, right? Going through some guys' profiles; age preferences; who I think is cute and such. Talking to my sister @charnellecatastrophe about how it's been so far....Bruh, some of them just put "ask me later." "Ask me anything." "Text me to find out XD!" etc. And nothing else! Everything else is just left blank!
Like, the reason you fill out the info about yourself and the type of person you want to date is so you can find someone who might be compatible!
I'm really about ask the most random and uncomfortable questions just to mess with 'em
"Does Hocus Pocus make you horny?" “You ever been to jail?" "Do you know about your car's extended warranty?" "How do you feel about horse porn?" "Do you read 4th grade workbooks for fun?" "Do you like cheese on macoroni?" "Have you ever cut your sister's hair with a chainsaw?"
You said I could ask anything 🤔
@charnellecatastrophe also pointed out how sometimes, it's the reverse: you fill out the info and some don't even read it! Like, say I put that I dislike horror movies. Cue, the meet up and you're buying two tickets for Paranormal Activity 87. Why? Cause, you didn't read my info or look at my interests. Another thing I thought of was safety. Like, what if you're deathly allergic to peanuts, flowers, etc, and I bring Reese's peanut butter cups, or a rose as a meetup gift. Now, you're dying, because you didn't mention that at all.
She/Her, 25. I fangirl about various things: books, movies, animes, etc. I'm pretty chill when I'm not a nervous disaster 😅 Nice to meet ya!
