okay now that I’ve had some time to process, I’m gonna put my thoughts here:
NO ONE KNOWS WHAT GOES ON BEHIND CLOSED DOORS and this supposed breakup, whether amicable or not, is really none of our business. She doesn’t owe us an explanation or her emotions, or anything really. That’s her private life and we should respect that. (Doesn’t mean you can’t be bummed though.)
TAYLOR IS FIRST, AND FOREMOST, A PERFORMER and whether she’s sad or not, she knows the show must go on. She will give her all to her fans, so in return, we should be loving and supportive of her, especially right now.
TOURING IS HER GREATEST JOY, as she has stated in many an interview over the years, so we should not immediately assume that her happiness is fake. In fact, not making assumptions but, this might be the thing that keeps her going. This might be the one joy she still has (though tbh there are probably many more) so I really don’t wanna see people calling her emotionless/fake happy come next tour date.
BE BETTER THAN THE REST OF THE INTERNET by not drawing attention to the can’t-wait-for-the-breakup-album types of posts. This isn’t 2012. We’re not going back to slut shaming, and we’re not going back to full-on defensive responses to such comments because it makes the fandom look insane.
okay that’s all I’ll shut up now.

Early Merlin is just so… they’re just all so young and so immediately in love, and also so so clueless

I had little faith in modern medicine left.
I have basically zero faith after this rabies fiasco.
Yes, thank God for the immunoglobulin treatments. Hence the sliver of faith that remains for me.
But the vaccine? Not even a full vaccine for humans. Still need multiple doses of antibodies delivered straight to the butt.
The incubation period for dogs? No one has a clue. We got anywhere from two weeks to eight months. The entirety of PubMed appears to be a scientifically worded “Fuck if I know.”
Oh, and the 45 day quarantine period where the animal and the person aren’t supposed to be around others because their saliva can be infectious before they’re really rabid?
The Pennsylvania Department of Health told my affected family member it would be fine to go to the dentist right after telling this person they can’t even eat out for 45 days because their saliva might give rabies to someone.
Think about that.
Spitting on someone by accident in the restaurant industry? Totally off limits.
Going to the dentist, where the whole situation involves lots of saliva? Completely fine.
Just because someone has MD or PhD after their name does not mean their brain cells have anything valuable to contribute to society.
The sooner we learn this, the better.

It does not look like Pauline Chalamet. It doesn’t look like a BBQ it looks like hanging out. Nothing more. I may not be current. The usual who knows…. I need more proof
Some are saying they don't think it's her.
It looks like three separate times judging by the changes of clothes.
Not sure what proof you expect to get or would even want.

it's incredible that tumblr fandom went from DESPERATELY trying to see ANY sort of queer love in the shows we liked, to having shows—high budget, well-made, interesting, mainstream shows staring known actors—that are ABOUT queer love. explicitly, without argument. and just ten years later.
i saw (and reblogged) a post about how GO, ofmd, and wwdits are the new superwholock and i havent stopped thinking about it. cuz i was there, i was in the trenches back in the day. i was there when the writers and actors made fun of us for seeing on screen chemistry and perfect stories to set up romances. they all humored us then shat on us and saw us as a joke. a bunch of weirdo faggy teens that don't think two men can just be friends.
and now look at us. we're seeing the on screen chemistry and it's REAL. it's ON PURPOSE. these ARE romantic stories about queer people. we're not projecting or have wishful thinking... it's TRUE!! it was written and directed and edited and acted that way in earnest. i will take NO SHIT regarding these shows and people's love for them.
and do you know WHY these shows are being made now? these well thought out, feels-real, non-pandering queer stories? it's BECAUSE OF WHAT WE DID ten+ years ago. a lot of queer media never got the green light to be made because execs don't think there's enough of an audience. that more people will dislike the gays than like them. and we've shown them that that's unequivocally untrue. the outcry we had for all those years, the reviews we left, the statements we made, the backlash, it gave show runners ammunition to say "hey. people will watch this. they will like it. let us make it."

IX of PENTACLES
---
This has been a long time coming, but finally, here is the card I drew for @dsmp-tarot. I couldn't have been more proud to get my hands on Technoblade and despite all the hurdles, I couldn't be prouder of my finished piece. Technoblade never dies.
(+two sillies under the cut 🧡)

You know what? Happy Disability Month to those who were disabled by accident. Cars, skis, ice, sand, rocks, horses, just plain bad luck. Broken bones and backs that never heal. Shoulders that can't lift or move right. Wrists that don't turn. Hands that can't grasp. Brains that don't work right anymore. Legs that don't move anymore and eyes that won't recover.
The shame, the blame, the frustration, the wishful thinking that tears you apart. The beauty of small victories and simple kindness. The community you build. Reshaping a life with no warning. Mourning for the person you once were. Joyfully embracing the person you now are. Happy Disability Month to you too (even if you aren't ready to use that word yet)
