what happened w the staff wrt “scortched earth”

ok so staff has a new page @/humans where they've got a post up listing several of the current moderators for the site, some of whom linked their own tumblr blogs. user @partyjockers made an original post like "so the new staff lineup explains why mods aren't blocking actual terfs huh" & then reblogged their own post with screenshots for evidence, one of the @/humans intro post, and one of the blog of one of those mods, "jas," @/jezzuminah. all publicly visible posts.

jas is a diehard hp fan, but people paid close attention to her artwork (her art tag is linked in a pinned post at the top of her blog). she's done a lot of dramione fanart, a lot of attack on titan fanart, and ship fanart of aged up preschoolers from spy x family. of note, she also put in her header, "opinions are my own," which is typical for ppl maintaining private social media accts linked to their real professional lives, as a way to ask for or demand a free pass to be inflammatory in some way w/o facing prof'nl. repercussions.

most of the commentary I saw at that point on @partyjockers's post was like, "lol that figures," bc it's not like any of that is especially shocking to see on tumblr; it's dime a dozen in fandom circles, but funny to confirm that "yeah the employees #on here are like that too, ugh, smh. 🙄"

within ONE DAY, staff had no only entirely shut down & seemingly permabanned @partyjockers, AND copyright striked the original screenshots so they get blanked out to error pictures if you try to repost them, they also did something they've never done before + which past staff have indicated was not doable within the tumblr framework: they scrubbed every trace of the post from the site. original post, gone. THOUSANDS of reblogs, all gone. even notifications from people interacting with reblogs of the post, wiped from the activity page. like beyond twitter, where if you delete a tweet, you can still see people's responses from THEIR pages, and you can still see QRTs even if you can't see what's been retweeted... every interaction w that post was gone. @partyjockers, gone. jas just toggled off the "view top posts" feature, locked her twitter & instagram, and deleted one piece of dramione fanart that people began reblogging after that overkill response.

and NOW the scrutiny is higher than ever before, because it's all fun & games and "my opinions are my own" until one person hurts your feelings (at WORK) by pointing & saying, "harry potter fan!" ...and, vitally, they also proved @partyjockers right. they've always been able to erase the entire footprint of violent fascists, people spreading explicit hate speech, literal nazis, revenge porn distributors, doxxers, bigots who run active harassment campaigns (incl some terfs!), ppl who share EXPLICIT csa materials, gore, etc.— even pages like @communismkills just got shadowbanned, and that was after a LONG TIME being a leaking sphincter on this site.

and tumblr staff have thus far ONLY ever unleashed this big gun ONCE in the whole history of the site, to my knowledge, as a tool to take down a page that wasn't even, like, a "whistleblower" for anything that serious, but who JUST SAID, "y'all don't ban terfs (true!) & y'all hire harry potter fans (also true!)," which apparently this new staff took sooooo personally & seriously & disparagingly (lol) that they nuked a random person's page from orbit over the "insult."

and we're currently on day 2, so I'm sure more will eventually unfold, but yeah, this scorched earth tactic is genuinely batshit hostility out of nowhere, over not even mild criticism but just a literal factual observation.

#it's incredibly stupid like they detonated a grenade to spite their face #smh. #drharlequin #tumblr dot com #long post // #1k #5k #10k #12k

a/b/o rly is the wild wild west of bad anatomy and pseudo furry nonsense its so funny its my emotional support nightmare section of fandom

honestly what's so funny about a/b/o is once you really start looking at it there are way furrier things out there. like it's definitely adjacent and it definitely depends on like, kind of werewolf-style lore? but as far as furry things go, this isn't the tip of the iceberg. this isn't even on the iceberg. this and the iceberg maybe made eye contact once on the subway

ive done irreparable damage to my own psyche with my new fankid from my xover 😔

honestly the only way to achieve true joy and peace in this life is to put massive tremendous effort and soul into crafting an OC that lives in your mind and occasionally escapes to run around a discord server before returning to ur mind to enact more damage

#drharlequin #syd squeaks #ask #all the fankids in the server are great we're running a gd daycare out of there

queen’s quality is a shoujo shes liking a lot, she says its hard to explain tho; she also has been watching birdie wing which is a yuri that is technically a golf anime but ppl who watch it say they come away knowing less about golf then they did going in thats pretty food so far

I will admit I'm a sucker for sports anime despite hating sports but golf is a whole level I wasn't expecting?? I'll look them though thanks babe~

hey guys i finally posted a chapter of the steddie fic i’ve been working on and debating on posting for a couple months 🫣 it’s based on a textpost that i can’t find but i know @/bisexual-cryptid here on tumblr made it! 

———————

Title: Glitter

Rating: M (might go up in later chapters😏)

Relationships: Steve Harrington/Eddie Munson

Summary:

“So,” Steve began, running a hand through his hair. Eddie’s bloodshot eyes followed the movement before dipping back down to meet his gaze, and Steve felt his face get hot again. He had to just rip the bandaid off. Just say it.

“This is—stupid, but, uh. I kind of told Dustin that you and I are dating.”

Eddie stared at him, his brows shooting up high under his bangs. He uncrossed his arms, straightening up. “Come again?”

you can read it here on ao3 <3

i’m gonna tag a few people who’ve expressed interest in dms or replies i’m SORRY if it’s annoying @catfishofoldin99colours @everfascinated @drharlequin @togeprinxess @schimmelspore @drwatsonsjournal @infertilehidan
