TIL that Gothic literature makes a distinction between “terror” and “horror.” Terror is the sense of dread and apprehension that precedes an experience, horror is the sense of revulsion after an experience.

Someone on the jacob sheep Lamb post from a while ago suggested Lamb getting a pair of horns for each Bishop they kill and I absorbed it into my worldview immediately... forgot to draw and post this tho

Everything is like “QUEER history” and “List of QUEER young adult books” or “Top 10 QUEER movies” and queer this and queer that and for the love of god please just say LGBT.

So I just saw a post by a random personal blog that said “don’t follow me if we never even had a conversation before” and?????? Not to be rude but literally what the fuck??????????

I’ve had people (non-pornbots) try to strike conversation out of nowhere in my DMs recently, and now I’m wondering if they were doing that because they wanted to follow me and thought they needed to interact first. I feel compelled to say, just in case, that it’s totally okay to follow this blog (or my side blog, for that matter) even if we’ve never talked before.

Also, I’m legit confused. Is this how follow culture works right now? It was worded like it’s common sense but is that really a thing?

Ode to Adulthood (derogatory, somehow)

A/N: idk what is this but i needed it outta my system. just me venting in verse, lmao. i'm aware this might not be universal to ppl. just expressing my feelingz and stuff. it might not make sense but anywhoozle, it's been a while. i hope formatting posts has gotten better since hiatus. Word Count: 275 T.W/C.W: None-ish

Things used to be simple As a kid, you've known You're on your way to Getting older while opportunities expand

I used to think 'It's all so faraway' What a weird notion Almost feels like yesterday-ish

Adults often informed me that 'You'll study for a degree Apply for jobs with it' Ingraining it in my head

Without also warning about Responsibilities you're saddled with You wouldn't have known Since you focused elsewhere

And if you're unaware People will scoff and say 'Well, you should have known' 'C'mon, it's supposedly common sense'

Well, how was I? How could I have known? If no one informed me? Or I've been focused on something else?

Where was a manual? When I needed it the most? It could have guided me Given me hints and tips

I wish I had instructions I wish I knew it properly I wish I didn't feel stupid I wish it wasn't convoluted

Maybe then those older Can see me as trustworthy Reliable enough to be allowed To do it by myself

There is immense shame For my lacking skills Leading someone else to Take care of it

Instead, I have been focused On being a cautious student On being a wary child On deciding my college path

That I forgone a chance To figure adulthood out and Learning those essentials others Must have learned too

Adulthood has felt like Given an impromptu role I didn't rehearse for Or didn't prepare for

Still, I suppose that I still have time Still have those opportunities To set things right

Perhaps, somehow, later on It will make sense I'll figure it out And it'll be satisfying

Never let the new generations forget this classic.

I can't be the only one surprised how casually you're just. Here. Mind talking about what it was like to like. Join Tumblr?

It was 13 or 14 years ago. From what I remember you just shouldered aside the mastodons, went into the Tumblr cave and carved your mark on the wall, telling people you were now signed up for tumblr, and then they would haul memes on animal hides past you. Back then it was mostly cats doing amusing things, obviously, but we would watch them by the flickering firelight, and chortle to ourselves hopefully before leaving the cave and trudging back to our lives.
