#not a discourse account

[secondbeatsongs]

with twitter imploding, people are talking about how much it'll suck to have celebrities and brands on here, but...I think celebrities can exist on tumblr in a healthy way.

because I've already seen it happen.

I don't know if you guys remember, but there used to be a decent number of celebrities on here! I mean, the white house had an official tumblr! so did my local library for some reason! everyone thought tumblr was the place to be!

we had George Takei, Taylor Swift, Lady Gaga, Hayley Williams, Ariana Grande, Dylan Marron, Dante Basco, Rebecca Sugar, John Green, Hannah Hart, Jacksfilms, Daniel Howell, and Ashens to name a few, as well as brand accounts for Doctor Who, Sherlock, Denny's, and so many others.

(Cole Sprouse was even on here, and it was fine. don't act like it wasn't. it was really not a big deal! it was fine!)

there were plenty of celebrities and brands on tumblr a decade ago - and it worked fine when people knew to stay in their lane!

did Obama's official account give a shit when people posted Obamney slash? absolutely not!

did we pay attention to whatever the brand accounts were posting? we did not!

and so we existed pretty well together on this site - because, after all, we don't have to look at anything we don't want to. we can block people. and they can block us. and we can keep posting what we want, no matter what any celebs or brands have to say about it, just like it's always been.

the only thing I think needs to change is, well...hey...remember how I mentioned John Green and Rebecca Sugar up there?

yeah the reason we don't see them on here anymore isn't because tumblr isn't a place they'd thrive - it's because a bunch of assholes harassed them until they left.

and that's not fucking okay.

so look, if you see celebs/brands on here, follow them, or don't! block them and ignore them, or don't!

but if you send threats and harassment to anyone on here, whether it be a celebrity, brand, or average tumblr user, you are the asshole. full stop. sending threats to other people is never okay. never.

and yes, this goes for the corporate accounts too! those are still run by people!

it's somebody's job to run those accounts, and guess what! that poor, probably-underpaid person doesn't deserve to get sent gore and death threats because their job is running a corporate tumblr account!

just, whatever happens when twitter explodes and dies a horrible death, it's gonna be okay. but please be kind. above everything else, please, I am fucking begging you, be kind.

it's really the most important part of thriving here

#that and knowing when to ignore the discourse #tumblr #personal #this is a bit much #but like #look #I don't really care about celebrities and brands being on here #if they stay out of fandom tags and don't break the fourth wall #(the wall between fandom and creators) #and don't interact with the fic and ships and such #go for it #go nuts show nuts etc #but the same goes for us #we have to be kind #we have to block and ignore instead of sending threats #otherwise we are worse than the brand accounts and I mean that #oh #william shatner #I forgot #he was on here too #and lucy hale #from pretty little liars #she was here #trying to think of other celeb/brand accounts #hmmm #her interactive (rip) had an official tumblr

[staffs-secret-blog]

made a new tumblr account and discovered this! can I or can I not fake someone’s death and steal their tumblr account? I’m a big fan of identity theft btw

Legally? Absolutely not

Morally? Bit of a grey area, I'd say no

Should you? Yes, without hesitation

#ask #apathetic-hysteria #The next big discourse on tumblr #Should you fake someone's death and take their account #I can see this becoming part of tumblr's lore

[royalarchivist]

I say this in the kindest way possible, but I think this style of prose is more appropriate for a personal account rather than an update account. I have no idea who's being talked about half the time. 🥲

#QSMP #Philza #Edited #Phil #Let me know if this needs an additional tag #I don't think this necessitates a discourse or neg tag or whatever because I'm being silly but I'm happy to add one if folks need it #I won't post this one on Twitter I don't think because I genuinely don't want to hurt anyone's feelings #but. I feel very strongly about this. It's not helpful #I say this as a fan and as a professional writer (who also worked in the Marketing and Communications field for far too long) #The prose is nice! It's very whimsical and they're having fun! But I don't think it's appropriate for an updates account #I recently turned off notifications for QsmpEN and I'm considering muting them because half the updates just aren't helpful to me #I want to be able to speed read through the update thread I don't want to spend an additional 30 seconds trying to decipher who's who #I don't like posting complaints so I tried to make it a funny complaint #because I do think feedback is good! And I know I'm not the only one who feels this way #but at the same time: these update writers ARE volunteers #(As a side note -- I personally think anyone running a large social media account should be paid) #(I did that for a few years and it was hell. I can't imagine doing that and NOT getting paid for it) #But anyways #They're all volunteers so I don't actually wanna go all pitchforks and torches on them (which I wouldn't do anyways even if they WERE paid) #I'm just venting my frustrations in what is (hopefully) a funny way #but you're welcome to disagree! That's ok too #Portfolio

this is a rant about mcyt tiktok (maaaybe twt but i don’t go there)

i hate seeing shit about shelby’s abuse and people calling it the “wilbur and shelby situation” and then other people saying “it’s not the wilbur and shelby situation it’s the shelby situation with wilbur allegations” like babes you are so fucking close. YOU SRE RIGHT THERE

It’s not the wilbur allegations, wilbur wasn’t mentioned or involved whatsoever! Let shelby heal and move on. it’s shubbles situation, nothing more, nothing less. sure there’s things that line up , but that doesn’t fucking matter unless wilbur comes out and admits it, or shelby actively says it was wilbur.

innocent until proven guilty and believe all victims are two things that can coexist and there is little to no nuance on tiktok where conversations like the ones described above are being had.

i also saw someone on here say something along the lines of “good people can do shitty things, good people can be bad in a relationship, good people can be the bad in a relationship ” and i agree, but that is not a conversation many are willing to have, they will jump straight to conclusions and make a woman’s story of abuse about a man.

edit (2/27/24) he posted an 'apology' on twitter, I don't know how I feel about it but he did it. Wilbur abused shelby while they were in a relationship together. He is guilty of what he was speculated of. official ruling imo: fuck that guy

#food for thought #tldr do your fucking research and take all sides into account before forming a conclusion #like for fucks sake #wilbur soot #shubble #discourse #tw mentions of abuse #tw opinion lol #<was not serious i am strong willed and have many opinions on the mcyt fandom (as someone who is kinda on the outside looking in now

queer discourse tumblr will be like "this group of queer people face hate crimes and this is obviously the fault of this other group of queer people and not the perpetrators" and not see anything wrong with it

#max squawks #aphobia #mspec lesbian #homomultiphobia #transmultiphobia #transandrophobia #altersex #anti transmed #anti truscum #anti radfem #yea bro your discourse account about how much you hate bi lesbians is so cool. remind me how you're fighting against irl lesbophobes again?

a redemption arc is not a sacrifice.

a redemption arc is not some grand act of selflessness.

a redemption arc is not meaningless pain and suffering.

a redemption arc is simply facing the consequences of your actions, fixing your mistakes and doing better, regardless of whether you will be forgiven or accepted. that's it.

#saying this to all the idiots that are like “but catra suffered torture from horde prime!!” #or “catra has had enough trauma in her life do you want her to suffer more?” #no. we just want her to do better #we don't want to see her get hit by someone‚ we want her to be held accountable for her actions #spop critical #spop salt #spop criticism #spop discourse #spop #she ra #anti spop #anti catra #anticatra #redemption arc #redemption arcs

#out of character #ooc #i havent seen the poll or anything but like... #this discourse is a bit cringe innit #like yes... aro people are queer... #why do i have to say this #also the person who runs this account is canonically aro #so if ur aphobic #fuck off

Say what you want about Nicky but he is seriously the strongest soldier. Mans gave up his whole life to take care of his two cousins, one of which is openly homophobic and the other being Andrew Minyard. That's love bitch.

#say what you want about nicky means yes do hold him accountable for his actions #but also i acknowledge his sacrifices #like damn #i dont know a lot of ppl who would do that #also lets not start the aaron homophobia discourse #pls #aftg #all for the game #nicky hemmick #aaron minyard #andrew minyard

hell. Hell. We are in hell

#twitter #ai discourse #I can’t imagine anything more joyless than a chatbot trained on a book for fans of the book to get More Content from #it’s empty. the voice you loved is not speaking through that bot #also… Twitter Guy Accounts??

[yb-cringe]

sorry but this has only driven home my confidence in the fact that people will literally never be satisfied with what a cc does and that they just need to be fuckin punted. if you do too much lore you get hate (baghera and forever) if you do too little you get hate (felps and etoiles). they cant even pick a fucking lane to be pissed about. i hope they just start cross banning people en mass.

#anyway if youve ever genuinely tried to start shit over a cc #i hope you lose access to literally every account youve ever had and get unfairly banned from all social media #disappear into the fuckin ocean or forest or whatever i hate you #qsmp #discourse

‘F**K THAT GUY’ - RICCIARDO FURIOUS WITH STROLL’S CRASH REACTION

#ok maybe stern repressed anger Daniel IS sexy??? #if he wants to lecture me I’ll get down on my knees and say sorry daddy 😌 #but on a more serious note if I see the discourse on the internet going against Daniel for this incident #when he’s simply asking for the other driver to take accountability for ruining both their races it’s on sight 🔪🔪🔪🔪 #because daniel has always taken all his mistakes on the chin #has always apologised for ruining someone else’s race whether it was his mistake or the circumstances #this man went to the Ferrari motor home to apologise to sainz in imola 2022 #and immediately apologised to Lance in Hungary 2022 right after the race when it was mostly mcl’s shit strategy to blame for #(​not to forget him getting sacked later on after that race <3) #the least he deserves is a reciprocation of the sportsmanship he’s always shown!!! #daniel ricciardo #China24

as someone running a loki blog in the year 2024, finding old loki blogs is such a cultural shock. what do you mean i just found an account from a decade ago entirely devoted to manga drawings shipping loki with himself. they tried to cancel me on twitter for doing something mildly adjacent to this.

#i was not here when the ancient texts were written you have to keep that in mind #torn between going through all of them for anthropological reasons and being frightened #and my account is mostly dedicated to his gf but like i still refer to myself as a “loki blog” for simplicity #loki #loki series #idk what else to tag this. marty i'm scared to initiate discourse. #this is history!!!!

Someone really needs to convince quackity to get tumblr

That man has faced so much backlash on Twitter that it’s just so heartbreaking to witness (and most of the time it’s just small mistakes that he gets called out for)

Meanwhile on tumblr, there is a genuine community here that believes in his idea and shows nothing but the best interests for his project

I think if he saw what was going on here, it would be nothing but a refreshing reminder on why he started this in the first place

Ofc he can keep Twitter for marketing strategies and stuff, but that man should not be engaging anymore after that

Twitter community (and the app as a whole) there is generally so draining

#qsmp #qsmp discourse #qsmp neg #quackity #just a little thought here and there #hope u have a good rest of ur day #edits: #im not saying he should have a public account but rather just one to view as spectator for most of the time #that way he doesn’t have to justify everything he does

"if you don't show your diagnosis you don't have x disorder/illness" sure buddy let me go through the hell of getting diagnosed just for this purpose, and if I already am, let me just post my personal information on the internet this seem so not dangerous and not bad advice thank you so much

What do you mean I can't get diagnosed officially with a severe dissociative disorder because it would be told to my parents and also make it near impossible to get a loan? What you mean doctors could refuse to treat me because they think I'm "crazy" and therefore making up symptoms? What do you mean if I put my disability diagnoses on the internet I would dox myself? What do you mean they're not in English so the assholes wouldn't even understand?????? Yeah I guess that means im faking! yippee my physical and mental pain are totally gone and I don't need my wheelchair anymore!!

A lot of people love to call individuals from the Torah / Bible / Quran trans but when a trans person is spiritual they’re treated like an alien.

It feels vindictive that you’d wanna use my gender to “piss Christians off” without considering that God loving trannys are real

& brave persecution from both the spiritual & queer communities we try to find family among from the disdain of wider society.

(it’s transphobic to level the breadth of our personhood &

weird you’d use our vulnerable existence to “stick it” to communities we also inhabit)

So have any unpopular opinions about the owl house? Mine is that Gus should gotten more recognition in the show and the fandom.

i agree honestly, gus was a character with so much potential and they completely squandered that. but at least he got a few episodes centred around him, unlike bow who had no role in the story apart from being the emotional support and the occasional comic relief.

my unpopular opinion is that.. the fandom blames the disney executives too much. don't get me wrong, they definitely screwed over the show and refused to let dana give us the entire story she had planned out. but a lot of the bad writing in s2b and s3 (and heck, even in s1) was the entirety the writers' fault.

unlike some other shows, the creators toh actually got the opportunity to wrap up the story. there were a lot of shows that were just cancelled with no warning, and the creators never got to write a conclusion. in that sense, the writers of toh got lucky and they should have used that to their advantage.

especially in s3, all three episodes together had a longer runtime than that of a movie. and i believe disney announced the decision to cancel when s1 was almost over, so they had all the time in the world to plan things out and make a coherent plotline instead of focusing on rushed ships and fanservice.

i was so excited for s3 and it was sorely disappointing. belos went from being a complex three-dimensional villain to just your standard Big Bad™ with no motivation outside of pOwEr. hunter was given trauma after trauma to deal with, and none of it was addressed properly afterwards. huntlow was rushed and unnatural, and screwed over both characters involved. luz's whole epiphany and the palisman was extremely lackluster, and her palisman didn't even play a huge role in the narrative afterwards. titan luz was just a deus ex machina and went against the original message of the story, which was that “there is no chosen one”.

overall, i feel like the creators did a bad job of handling the story and fans should stop blaming everything on the show's cancellation. it's an easy excuse because they don't want to hold the writers accountable for their bad writing decisions.

#this is slowly turning into a toh critical account lol #toh critical #toh salt #toh criticism #toh discourse #anti toh #anti huntlow #btw stringbean being a shapeshifter was such a cop out #we didn't even know that palisman could be shapeshifters until then it was clearly a rushed decision #because fans had so many speculations on what the palisman would be and the writers were like “she's all if them #there you go!! are you happy?“ #smh
