Once You Start Harassing People Over Their Tastes In Fiction, You've Gone Too Far.

Once you start harassing people over their tastes in fiction, you've gone too far.

You should not be sending anon hate.

You should not be telling people to kill themselves.

You should not be contacting people's family members, job, or school.

You should not be sending people gore.

You should not be telling people that they deserve their trauma.

You should not be attacking people over liking something fictional. At that point, you're the problem. Not the person making things you don't like, YOU. Harassment is never acceptable.

— but I won't apologize for doing what's right!

Closeup crop for the funny 🙏

thinking about Your Obedient Servant too much I NEEDED to draw something somewhat related. Idk I'm just a big fan of the passive aggressive waltzy tune in the chorus. And so I shall draw Ham and Burr dancing. Naturally

Do I know how hair greying works. Do I look. No I don't. Fuck it we Ball

Do antis deserve an olympic gold medal in reaching, or do they purposefully miss the point of everything we say just so they can keep arguing?

We say: Fiction is not reality OR Fiction does not reflect/affect reality on a 1:1 basis

They hear: Fiction has never, can never, and will never have any effect on reality

We say: Censorship is dangerous because it never stops with the "icky" subjects and is quickly used to target and silence queer people

They hear: Pedophilia is akin to being gay and should be part of the lgbt community

We say: Pedophilia isn't bad because it's gross, it's bad because it's causing harm to a real life human being

They hear: Pedophilia isn't bad OR Pedophilia isn't gross

We say: Let people ship what they want

They hear: I love abusing children and/or I want to fuck my brother

My baby just want to be a gentleman to Lucy lol

The way Loke does hand to hand combat is what makes me cringe because his suit should make his movements stiffer, but he isn’t. He’s still mostly fluid in his stance like an animal pounce. The outfit he’s wearing should theoretically rip from how much he’s stretching.

The only time he seems natural and cool or clean (movement wise) was when he takes up his weird standing stance when creating a bunch of blinding light, although sometimes his knees bend and that bothers me. There was also the one time on Tenrou Island when fighting Capricorn as he relatively coolly and easily knocks out one of the human subordinates with one hand in his pocket.

Now, Capricorn doesn’t have this same issue because his movements are stiffer. He actually works in accordance with his outfit. All priss and proper. Which, a classy suit is meant to embody both in its style and in its function.

So, when you look at other hand to hand combatants, you’ll notice the lack of clothing or rather their abundance of shirt-less-ness. Look at Natsu or Gray or Erza (whenever she removes all armour), they’re all mostly shirtless or have clothing more fluid like a vest or a coat.

LOKE STOPPPPP WEARING A FREAKING SUIT AAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Either change the way he fights or change his “celestial spirit form” outfit (CHANGE THE OUTFIT YOU LAZY HACKKK!!!).

Classical and animalistic are weird as a combo. Possible to be done maybe, but Fairytail’s artist clearly doesn’t want him to look too much like a cat boi (give him a tail!!!!!!!) for some reason?!?!?? So he’s gonna lean into his humanoid side in the end, booooooo!

Sidenote: i don’t want him to wear armour or at least clunky armor like in his Eclipse form. Only because i think Taurus should wear that and they should be distinct from each other. Also, he should still look pretty and socially approachable (in human standards).

boggles my mind but hey maybe somebody else doesn’t find it weird to have animalistic tendancies while wearing a suit, but that’s just not me

I just don't like canon ship honestly, everytime big series like fairy tail have the main characters have romantic plot they always handle it with such disgrace it pissed me off. I like Natsu and Lucy as a duo but romance? Just no. Atleast it's not as bad like they put it in every episodes of one blush the other clueless type of thing.

Anyway I love Loke/Leo and Lucy ship. They are the love of my life. Loke is such a cool character that need more screen time and his story really good. But instead they put him in the background like man :(

Kinda want to rewatch Fairy Tail, kinda don't knowing Lucy doesn't end up with Loke or Gray.

Looking back at it, Natsu treated Lucy so horribly. Calling her fat as "jokes", calling her "weak" at some points in battle, or the cheap "she's always n*ked in battles", ditching her for a year with nothing but a letter, constantly breaking into her house and gr0ping her multiple times...

Loke always made Lucy his priority. Even after he becomes a spirit again, he broke through worlds to make sure she's okay. He adores Lucy to bits and always made sure she was complimented. Not once did he make her feel like she wasn't valued.

And Gray was the only one who really treated Lucy with respect too. He properly apologized after hurting her before the fight with E.N.D, and actually had a canon crush on her for a while. His monotone/cooler temper would've been a better match for Lucy.

It amazes me how people still defend Na/lu. Don't get me wrong, there's still a couple cute moments. But the vast majority of interactions between Natsu and Lucy makes it seem like Lucy is just better off with someone else or with no one at all.

The block button is my love

So you have crawled to the hellsite and are planning to resist the tribulations and stay

Welcome. There is a saying that the devil knows best because he is old, not because he is the devil.

I am that devil here and I've been here for 7 years now. Have some tips.

If no algorithm then how content?

Content gets to you via the people you follow. Everything you see in your dash will be things the people you follow posted or reblogged.

And thus the first thing you should do is start following people whose content you wish to see in your dash. And how do you find those people?

You go to Tumblr's search function, type the name of the fandom or character you want to see content off, and then you'll find a ton of content organized by popularity. Give a click to the posts you like and look around a bit at that person's blog see if you'd like to see them more often. Repeat this as many times as you'd like.

If you'd like to follow smaller blogs, you can set it so the results prioritize recent posts, and thus you'll find newer posts that you can click on and take a look at the blog see if it's to your liking.

There is no easier way than that. Sorry. But the good news is the more you do this, the more posts you'll see on your dash, and the more blogs you will be introduced to like this.

Hey I do not like the person/post that has landed in front of my eyeballs

Good news you are in possession of a very powerful tool called. The block button.

If you see something you despise and that it somehow missed the filtering and blacklist (we will get to that don't worry) you can block the person that posted such heinous things one quick tap/click on their profile pic and you'll be on their blog from where you can push the three dots (in pc)/ little icon person (in mobile) to block that user.

Peoples use the block button very generously, and you should to! Didn't like someone's take? Block. Annoying? Block. The theme of their blog is too saturated so it hurts your eyes? Block.

Block. Block. Block.

Curate your online experience since afterall is yours and also no one will know better than yourselves how you'd like it to look.

And also because inciting drama raises the chances you get blocked, kung pow penised or just obliterated

Any filters? I definitely want things to just never get near me

As obtuse as Tumblr tagging and search system can be, the blocking and filtering feature can do its job arguably well. If you want something banished to the shadow realm you can filter it (so it never even appears on your timeline and searches) or you can block it (so the post will appear in front of you but with the content obscured so you can choose if you have the mental spoons to deal with that today)

To block and/or filter open your blog's settings -> general settings -> visible content

And there will be the option to add tags you wish to filter and/or block.

How interact with posts? (BY REBBLOGING)

Okay reblogging is just one option you have commenting, liking, and reblogging. Let's go one by one

Commenting: by pressing the dialogue bubble icon on the lower right corner of a post it will open the "notes" of the post where you can leave a comment. If you do only op will see a notification, but anyone that opens the notes section can see your comment and @ you to reply

Liking: by pressing the heart icon in the lower right corner of a post, the post will be liked and stored in your personal liked posts (that list can be made private in the settings and I encourage you to do it). That's it. The number of total notes may go up but it serves more as a bookmark than anything else, it won't boost posts. So if you want to boost a post you should Reblog.

Reblogging: before we go in how to reblog is important to stablish a difference.

Rebbloging =/= reposting

Rebbloging means taking a post you see and using Tumblr's function of reblogging it so a copy of it will be in your blog, where the original poster and contributors are still visible and the notes your reblog garners will still go to them, meaning you have helped op further their reach. This is not stealing.

Reposting means taking a photo of a post, or the images on it, downloading it to your phone/pc, and then making your own post with those images and claiming the content is yours so you get all the notes and reach. That is stealing

With that clarified, this refers to the former. To reblogging.

Now. Here is how you reblog.

By pressing the icon of the two arrows pointing at each other you can reblog a post. This means the post you reblogged will appear on your blog and will be visible to the people that follow you. This is how posts get around Tumblr, by being reblogged so they reach more people that will eventually reblog them. Don't worry about the theme or consistency or aesthetics of your blog, you can reblog pretty much whatever (you can even reblog something multiple times but that might be annoying) and it'll be fine.

By reblogging some options open for you.

If you are interested in just spreading the post around, doing a quick reblog (hold reblog icon and drag to the pfp of the blog you wish the post to appear on) is the easiest solution.

A regular reblog opens you to add something to the post, that addition then counts as a post for you, and will get notifications if reblogged.

If you feel you just want to comment or your addition wouldn't fit in a post but still want to add it, the tags are your friends. They are there in theory to help you label things for easier searching, but Tumblr's search function is kinda broken, so they end up being used to comment. Want to show extra love to the op, or yell at them or just add to the chaos you are seeing? put in the tags. All the key smashes, all the I HATE YOU/POS all the blorbos of your shows go there
