MC: posts a picture of a watergun next to a bottle of holy water with the caption “Don’t come to RAD today guys”

one man's hyperfixation is another man's blocked tag

i think bdsm is about chasing your partner around with a squeaky toy hammer and tying them to fireworks rockets and feeding them stuff from bottles with skulls and crossbones on them

he needs it….

reddit is having a glitch where it puts the wrong captions over photos and it’s the only thing i care about right now

honestly the discourse on this site is so bad that I have a new hot take: if you use tumblr at all fuck you

Alphabet soup and soulmates

*At the cafeteria*

Ace: Is that alphabet soup? For lunch?

Yuu: Yeah I'm gonna do some divination! I'll close my eyes, scoop a letter, and whatever letter that is, it's my soul mates first initials!

*There's a short period of silence as if the nearest tables heard what they said and stopped in their tracks*

Deuce: I don't think that's how divination works

Yuu: Let me just try! *Closes their eyes takes a spoonful of soup*

*Several spells hit the spoon at once from different angles, some even missing it's target, causing the bowl to explode and make a mess everywhere*

Yuu,covered in all the letters of the Alphabet: I'll be single forever

Claim your title as “tumblr freeloader” (meaning you haven’t spent ANY kind of money on tumblr) here.

Whole-heartedly BEGGING writers to unlearn everything schools taught you about how long a paragraph is. If theres a new subject, INCLUDING ACTIONS, theres a new paragraph. A paragraph can be a single word too btw stop making things unreadable

Just a psa for fic writers who use the “trauma bond” tag, please make sure you’re using it correctly. A trauma bond is not two people who experience similar trauma and bond over it. It’s a carefully curated, manipulative bond between abuser and victim to keep the victim coming back because of the addictive highs and lows that come with abuse.

If you want to tag two characters bonding over shared trauma, a good substitute tag would be “bonding over shared trauma.” Trauma bonding is, by definition, an abusive relationship and may steer people who have experienced it away from your fic. Please spread the word and happy writing!

Apparently a lot of people get dialogue punctuation wrong despite having an otherwise solid grasp of grammar, possibly because they’re used to writing essays rather than prose. I don’t wanna be the asshole who complains about writing errors and then doesn’t offer to help, so here are the basics summarized as simply as I could manage on my phone (“dialogue tag” just refers to phrases like “he said,” “she whispered,” “they asked”):

“For most dialogue, use a comma after the sentence and don’t capitalize the next word after the quotation mark,” she said.

“But what if you’re using a question mark rather than a period?” they asked.

“When using a dialogue tag, you never capitalize the word after the quotation mark unless it’s a proper noun!” she snapped.

“When breaking up a single sentence with a dialogue tag,” she said, “use commas.”

“This is a single sentence,” she said. “Now, this is a second stand-alone sentence, so there’s no comma after ‘she said.’”

“There’s no dialogue tag after this sentence, so end it with a period rather than a comma.” She frowned, suddenly concerned that the entire post was as unasked for as it was sanctimonious.

Please stop trigger tagging with #epilepsy tw/cw/warning/etc.

I need every single person to understand how horrible tumblr’s tagging system is

I go into the tag for epilepsy and its all flashing lights. We can’t use our own tag because people without epilepsy fill it up with improper warnings.

Use ‘flashing’ in place of ‘epilepsy’ in your tags. You aren’t warning people of epileptics, you’re warning us of flashing lights. Please please tag properly. Epileptics say this endlessly and constantly and it’s ignored. You are risking lives by doing this.

Here’s proof of what I mean:

THIS POST IS 100% OKAY TO REBLOG, I ENCOURAGE PEOPLE WITHOUT EPILEPSY TO ESPECIALLY DO SO!

Reblog and write the opposite of your URL

im self undiagnosing btw. im totally fine now and everything that happened to me is actually ok. in fact ive never acted traumatized in any situation ever <3

me at this point of the year, reacting to any bad news

Finally caught one of the isopods on the dinosaur 🥹

I am begging the FDA to require that companies CANNOT just put "spices" as an ingredient but have to label the spices.

"Spices" can mean "this has some oregano and black pepper in it" or it can mean "this has cumin cayenne and paprika and if you eat this you will be sick in bed in pain for a week" for me.

Seriously, this is an allergy issue and a huge oversight on the part of corporations.

Require detailed labeling of spices used in packaged foods NOW.

"You're losing blood" no I know exactly where it is. The floor. Don't ever underestimate me.

being on tumblr is like being in a car in a parking lot

like it's technically public, but you're also sorta in your own little bubble, and people have to be Actively trying to listen in order to hear you, if they're even aware that you're speaking at all. and then sometimes you accidentally bonk the horn with ur elbow and suddenly the whole parking lot knows you're a virgin

Reposting my magpies because I love them. And they love each other.
