Idk If This Happens To Anyone Else Or If It's Just Me, But Tumblr Keeps Doing This Thing Where My Long

idk if this happens to anyone else or if it's just me, but tumblr keeps doing this thing where my long posts (i.e. answered asks, starters, etc.) take at least 5-10mins to show up on the dash, but will post to my blog instantly. but little posts like this show up on the dash no problem. i'm so confused and idk why this is happening but it's driving me crazy dflkja;s

at some house in malibu... taking pictures by the pool... doing things I'd never do...

          it was  a  nasty  habit,  and  she  knew  it,  but  smoking  weed  was  one  of  the  only  sure  fire  ways  she  knew  that  eased  her  nerves.  first,  it  helped  to  calm  her  down  when  her  parents  became  too  much,  then  it  soothed  her  anxiety  whenever  david  would  get  on  her  ass  about  something,  but  nowadays,  it was  a  way  to  cope  with  how  shit  the  world  had  become.  after  all,  it  wasn’t  everyday  that  you  had  to  worry  about  the  undead  eating  you…  or  it  used  to  not  be  that  way.

          but  now,  the  world  was  over,  and  kate  had  to  raise  children  who  weren’t  even  technically  hers.  they  sure  didn’t  have  any  qualms  in  making  it  known  that  she  wasn’t  their  favorite  person,  anyway.  that  was  the  dynamic:  javi,  the  cool  uncle  and  kate,  the  mean  stepmom.  she  wasn’t  expecting  it  to  change  any  time  soon,  either.

          “ you  really  shouldn’t  be  so  cocky  about  it, ”  kate  told  javi,  in  reference  to  him  being  the  ‘cool’  uncle.  “ it’s  a  poor  look. ”  she  took  a  drag  from  her  blunt,  and  as  she  exhaled,  she  continued,  “ now  i…  see,  i  know  i’m  not  cool—forever  the  mean  stepmom—but…  at  least  i  look  cool… ”

not tumblr not showing my posts on the dash... this is homophobic.

Abigail haters are fucking stupid

73 [ aasim to ruby! ]

your body gives, but then holds back... the sun is bright, the sky is black... [ ... ] your laughter, it lingers on... but you, you were almost gone...

          when  ruby  envisioned  her  life  with  aasim,  what  it  had  turned  into  had  not  been  what  she’d  expected  or  necessarily  wanted.  yes,  she’d  wanted  a  family  with  him—having  as  many  kids  as  they  had  wasn’t  the  problem—and  no,  she  didn’t  mind  that  he  had  to  take  time  for  his  work,  but  she  was  busy  too  and  still  had  to  take  care  of  everything  else.

          she’d  tried  to  be  patient  with  him,  tried  to  be  understanding—but  a  woman  could  only  take  so  much.  the  stress  of  her  job,  of  raising  their  kids,  and  fearing  over  whether  or  not  her  marriage  of  nearly  two  decades  was  finally  crumbling  weighed  on  her  too  heavily.  she  wasn’t  sure  how  much  more  she  could  take.

          when  aasim  had  dismissed  her  that  night  when  she  tried  to  get  him  to  come  to  bed,  the  tone  he’d  used  at  that,  she  found  herself  sighing  and  shaking  her  head;  begrudgingly  resigned  to  the  apparent  fate  they  had  waiting  for  them.

          “ can  only  be  another  sign, ”  she  muttered,  more  to  herself  than  to  aasim,  though  it  was  said  loud  enough  that  he  could  hear  if  he  was  paying  attention.  “ i  cannot  keep  what  isn’t  mine… ”
