My favorite doomed love interest of them all!
Please take my uquiz guys <333
you're laughing??? they ate his tailor and you're laughing???
trying to explain that there has never been a single instance in the show to indicate that jack is intended to be a child/toddler/baby in any way and that all canon actually makes it pretty clear he’s supposed to be a teenager/young adult is like trying to explain that the cheese is under the sauce in a Chicago style pizza
Sam and Jess took a creative writing class for credit and Jessica wrote horror and Sam corrected all the details about killing monsters for her and when she asks how he knows he finally decides to tell her the truth and goes “one time my family killed a werewolf” and she laughs and goes “yea right youre so funny babe” and he drops it forever
Change your profile picture, blog header, and title to something other than the defaults. Do it right now. You will be mistaken for a bot otherwise, and blocked.
Go into Settings -> Dashboard, scroll down to Preferences, and turn off the options in the picture. This will get rid of most of the algorithmic stuff.
Turn off Tumblr Live. You have to snooze it once every 7 days for some stupid reason. It's hosted through another company and will steal your data if you use it.
Go to your blog settings (under the little person menu) and turn off these two settings:
Turn off infinite scroll (lags the site) and turn on timestamps on posts, in the same menu as Preferences.
Reblogs drive the entire site. If you'd upvote something on Reddit, you'd reblog it on Tumblr. You can add text, images, or tags to a reblog, but you're not required to.
The dashboard is the equivalent to your Reddit feed, and contains the posts of all the people you follow, with the newest at the top
You can send an ask to someone, and it'll appear in their askbox for them to answer. You can receive them too, or turn off the settings if you don't want.
Tags aren't actually used for finding stuff (search function is dogshit), but are more for categorizing. People also talk in tags. Because Tumblr is weird, you can't use quotation marks (") or commas in them without fucking it up
You can filter both tags and phrases under Account Settings; doing this will put a filter over a post that contains them, which you'll have to click through to see the post itself. Useful for avoiding hate speech or blocking out annoying stuff
You can make polls in posts. Here's one now.
Likes are useless. They literally do fuck-all except send a notification to the OP.
Very old posts (I'm talking from like 2012) often circulate on this site. There's no such thing as a post being "too old" to reblog
Blocking is highly encouraged; you can block someone for any reason. Even for just being annoying.
If you and someone else are following each other, you are mutuals. Mutuals are fucking awesome and are treasured like friends. Mutuals are a thing on other sites but Tumblr treats em differently.
You can screenshot someone's tags if you like them and add them to a reblog. This is called "peer review"
Sometimes someone will find a blog and go through it and like/reblog a bunch of posts. This is totally fine and not "creepy" like it is seen as on other sites.
Tumblr jokes often rely on Continuing The Bit and a "yes, and?" attitude. Goncharov is probably the best example of this.
We are fucking infested with bots. They will either have totally blank profiles or be filled with porn. Block and report on sight.
Censorship is pretty lax here. I can say "I want to brutally stab Elon Musk to death and watch him bleed out in front of a crowd" and nobody gives a shit.
Don't try to do epic clapbacks here, you'll probably just get laughed at or blocked. If someone is bugging you or spouting bigoted bullshit, block them.
Reblog art!!! Artists often struggle to gain traction on here; reblogging will give them a boost.
Not every reblog needs a comment or tag in it
You can go all out with tagging your stuff to organize it, or you can just leave it all blank. Someone might ask "hey, can you tag these posts as [x]?" and you can decide if you want to do that or not. It's generally polite to oblige, but "no" is still reasonable.
Avoid discourse like the plague. Filter it, block people who start it, scroll past it when you see it. Just don't get involved in it. Ever.
Don't put fandom tags or jokes on someone's posts about serious matters or personal shit
You're responsible for curating your own dashboard; if you complain about constantly seeing stuff you don't like, that's probably on you. Don't be afraid to unfollow.
Follower count doesn't matter much here and you don't have to make yours known if you don't want to.
Reblog, don't repost. Reblogging keeps the credit and doesn't "steal" engagement like Twitter retweets.
If someone likes something a LOT, they might reblog it like 30 times in a row. This is normal
Having a post blow up is actually kinda a bad thing, since it floods your notifications. There's a sort of in-joke about how having a big post is awful and people jokingly try to stop their own posts from blowing up, often in vain.
Get XKit Rewritten if you're on desktop, it's a really helpful extension
In the little drop-down menu next to the 'Post now' button you can either save a draft, schedule a post, or add it to your queue. The queue lets you post things in order at a certain interval, which you can change. It's good for spreading stuff out over time.
You can use Shift+R to quickly reblog stuff and Shift+Q to queue!
Filter your notifications under Activity - you can also see some neat graphs
Find each other! If you want your old Reddit communities to stick together, seek out other refugees and follow them.
GOD. SAM SHOULDVE KNOWN EVERYTHING ABOUT LUCIFER.
He should’ve known it wasn’t Cas from the second they got back. He should’ve known where Lucifer would go, he should’ve known all his plans.
They were together for DECADES. And Sam knows nothing? I refuse to believe that.
Casifer makes one movement, says one thing after coming back and Sam sinks to the floor, screaming “That’s not Cas.” At the top of his lungs and Lucifer is QUICK with his “Never could’ve fooled you, Sammy.”
I still want to know the genuine answer :( I feel like he did service Oberon, king of the fairies :(
dean. did you service oberon. king of the fairies. ?
hey yall! this was my jack piece for the hunting & haunting spn zine. ive said it before and ill say it again: it was an absolute honor and privilege to work with these lovely and talented people. hope yall enjoy!
I started screaming every time he showed up with his damn shoes on that clean bed
Jack + Being Raised in a Barn Bunker
THIS IS WHAT I’VE ALWAYS THOUGHT! It’s not “Jimmy’s soul thinking the woman is hot” IT’S CAS! CAS LIKES WOMEN! CAS LIKES MEN! CAS LIKES HUMANITY! He was uncomfortable with the sex workers because he had never been in that situation before! It wasn’t a gay panic, it was a bi panic! He obviously liked the straight pizza man stuff that was on the tv, and even used it on Meg! He constantly flirts with Meg while being cuckoo with Sam’s trauma, and has a wife as Emmanuel! After he gets his memories back, he flirts with Meg yet again and even shows interest in “moving furniture” with her! He ends up married to the djinn queen somehow! He gets flustered when Rowena flirts with him! He wasn’t disinterested with Hannah in her original vessel, he just didn’t see it as an appropriate time for them to be doing all that when they had a mission! They literally kissed in the next scene after that! Yes Hannah chose a male as her second vessel, but her first vessel didn’t want to be a vessel anymore! I’m sure Hannah chose the closest vessel she could find! Castiel sees the true form inside of the body, not the body that Hannah was inhabiting! We learn this with Sister Jo when Michael visits her in Dean’s body, we’re shown his true form through her eyes! It envelopes the entire vessel! Castiel loves souls and true forms! He called Meg beautiful even when he could only see her true face! HE HAD SEC WITH APRIL AND BOASTS ABOUT IT! HE CALLS APRIL HOT AND WANTED MORE WITH HER BEFORE SHE BETRAYED HIM! This is all over the place but it’s all true and can be seen through context clues, the script, facial expressions, and body language! Dean seems to be Cas’s only fully 100% male love interest in the whole show! Throwing away all of Cas’s history because of the love confession is bogus! Rah rah rah rant over, the point is Castiel is QUEER. NOT STRICTLY MLM/GAY!
Honestly, one thing that bothers me quite a bit is the amount of times I see people define Cas as a gay man. He isn't a man. Nor gay. He has no gender and he is bisexual. I know his love for Dean shines like the sun and blinds like it, but Cas has shown interest in women too a few times. He is a bi angel. He is the queer angel.
