I Really Like Fictional Couples That Actually Enjoy Spending Time With Each Other. It Seems Like Such

I really like fictional couples that actually enjoy spending time with each other. It seems like such a simple, mundane thing. But, often, I see fictional couples who are completely enamored and dramatic and willing to die for each other, which is fine. But like… do they enjoy hanging out? Do they have private jokes and would they be friends even if they weren’t in love? It feels like such a basic thing, but it’s something that I actually don’t see that often. And it feels so refreshing and honest compared to these over-dramatic romeo and juliet-esque romances. Just two people who become good friends and because they enjoy each other’s presence so much it grows into a strong attraction. It feels more real and tangible than two attractive people meeting and “falling in love at first sight” - like, of course, you fell in love at first sight! You’re both supermodels! Sorry, can’t relate.

Getting flirted with by my coworker this week. The universe has decided to be aphobic to me on this blessed aro awareness week

I would however like to thank Baldur's Gate 3 and Dragon Age for teaching me what flirting is. Guy said 'I like it when you tell me what to do', and my brain just went 'hmmm that sounds like a line that would put you in a romance with somebody

Dress from the Art Deco era.

Guys, Brandon is being weird

I was watching the weekly update when I noticed a couple of things in the background

And apparently the books in the left hand corner are also ordered in 6, 3, 1 but I couldn't get an high enough resolution to actually tell.

It could be a time? Or maybe a Rosharan date. It would be the 6th month of the third week on the first day. June only has 30 days so it can't be a date on our calendar.

Whatever he's doing, it's probably going to drain our wallets.

its official: tumblr is selling our data to Midjourney

Internal documents obtained by 404 Media show that Tumblr staff compiled users' data as part of a deal with Midjourney and OpenAI.

we'd been hearing rumors about this for a bit but now its open and out there. some details from this article

it goes without saying, but if @staff goes through with this its going to be an utter shitshow and im all but certain the website will not survive it.
