POST PLUS IS COMING, WHETHER YOU WANT IT OR NOT!

POST PLUS IS COMING, WHETHER YOU WANT IT OR NOT!

Despite the fancy survey, changes to the UI and TOS reveal we’re getting the service in the future whether we want it or not. Obviously, Post+ is a terrible idea that is trying to bank revenue on user content. Unlike patreon or onlyfans, tumblr’s primary focus is on FAN content. The legality of this is NOT in the users favor and as the new tumblr TOS states, said users will be entirely liable for whatever legal matters arise.

SO WHAT ARE WE DOING?

Besides filling out the survey, it’s time to show tumblr we mean business and show our displeasure by hitting them where it hurts.

Ad revenue.

We’re proposing a 24 hour log off as phase one of this protest.

WHEN IS THE PROTEST?

AUGUST 6th, 2021        12 am Eastern Time (US)          5 am Greenwich Mean Time          6 am Central European Time          8 am Moscow Standard Time          1 pm Australian Western Time          2 pm Japan Standard Time          3:30 pm Australian Central Time          4 pm Australian Eastern Time

AUGUST 5th, 2021

11 pm Central Time (US)          10 pm Mountain Time (US)            9 pm Pacific Time (US)

THE END TIME IS 24 HOURS FROM START TIME!!!

So no posting, no queues, no likes, and no reblogs!

WHAT IF I CAN’T/WHAT ELSE CAN I DO?

Like this post and share it AS MANY TIMES AS POSSIBLE. Use the hashtags #tumblrlogoff2021 or #postplusprotest on ANY and ALL social media.

WILL THIS WORK?

Maybe, maybe not. It’s an attempt at doing SOMETHING.

BECAUSE I’M A TIRED IDIOT, USE THIS TO DOUBLE CHECK YOUR TIME ZONE!!!!

If you're a fanfiction author and you haven't done this already, start backing up all of your fics on a Google Drive.

When Post+ goes live (it will despite the backlash - Tumblr is owned by Automattic who also owns WordPress), it's going to be mass purge of fandom accounts.

You've probably already seen the posts going around stating that if you make fanworks, you legally cannot monetize (EDIT 2: APPARENTLY THIS IS FALSE. EXPLAINED HERE. Check sources and come to your own conclusions. I've been getting messages with different takes on this). As soon as the idiots at Automattic realize this (EDIT: actually, they definitely know this), they're going to purge fan creators. Why? Because they're also going to be dealing with lawsuits, not just the creators.

And they can write out all of the rules and terms and warnings they want before a user signs up for Post+, but that isn't gonna stop all of the fandom babies from Wattpad coming in thinking they can make money off of writing fanfiction. So the solution? Shadow banning all people who create for fandoms, driving us into a dark corner, and ultimately kicking us off the platform so it can bring in more outsiders and normies, therefore becoming more appealing to investors and advertisers.

I implore you, please read up on the history of fandoms and the great purges of fan content here and try to tell me that's not where we're headed.

(EDIT 3: What I'm trying to say is, I'm pretty sure that the big men up top want us gone so they can try to make this site profitable. Back your works up. Let your voice be heard. Know your roots as a fan. All hail AO3.)

Wow, the last sentence made me very scared for the future of this series. It was all cute and magical with their emails and texts with each other. Then bam, future angst probably incoming. I am hoping that I have just assumed that the ending means something different.

Greece- June 6

sent from alwaysreading@gmail.com:

Yoongi,

I miss you. Guess I’ll get that out of the way now. I was going to say something more flirty or coy, but I can’t. It was rainy here when we arrived. No sun for you to hide from. But now it’s clear, almost like I could forget how dark and black the sea was. It’s bright blue today, the light-colored buildings blinding with the sun reflecting off them. I need stronger sunglasses.

This seems silly. I’m talking to you about the weather.

Tomorrow the bff and husband are indulging me, and we’re going to see the amphitheatre that is still mostly intact. I’ve always wanted to, like paying respects to the origins of theatre. They were so good at understanding acoustics, that people in the nosebleed seats could still hear. I find that amazing.

I hope studio work is good. I don’t really expect you to have time to write me back. You’re more of a texter, which is fine. Any words from you, don’t feel pressured.

It’s so pretty here. I’m sitting on the little balcony of the rooms we’ve rented, looking out to the blue. Writing you. Telling you that you are in my thoughts.

Your 자기야 (I had to look that up, I hope it’s right)

Greece - June 6 - Journal

I wonder if my teen self would claim me these days. We went to the amphitheatre which was indeed a sight to behold. It was so big, and still so intact, despite thousands of years working to erase it. Our tour guide led us down the steps/seats carefully to the stage at the bottom. Some of the tourists did things like ‘To be or not to be.’ (No one knows more than that and I don’t know why that bothers me. English prof problems). It was my turn and I was embarrassed? Me? Me who used to get on the stage with only a trace of stage fright. Who loved being on stage so much it was my entire plan for my life?

I am not that girl anymore. I’d rather just watch others, maybe help them do better, but I don’t want to be the center of attention. Not for strangers. My teen self would be appalled. And probably wonder if aliens had taken over her body. Teen me didn’t even believe in aliens.

I did the opening of Henry V (what I could remember). BFF did the best line from Buffy. “Out. For. A. Walk. Bitch.” Her husband declined. Then the tour guide started in with the history and the way things were performed during that time. I had to bite my tongue not to jump in with what I knew. No one wants that kind of tourist in their group.

I’m glad we did it, but I guess I thought I’d feel more. More loss for that part of my life or something. But not really. It’s just a place. With history. People who sat here, people who performed here.

I’m writing all this out so I don’t text Yoongi. I don’t think he’d mind that much, but I’ve texted him nearly every day and that’s just...well, it feels pathetic. It doesn’t help that my best friend and her husband are super touchy with each other on vacation. I should be used to it. I am.

But now that I know what it’s like to be close like that, I just miss him.

He’s stupid if he thinks I’d even want to be with someone else like that.

I have met no vampires. Or I have, but they have been very reticent about revealing themselves as vampires. My neck remains unmarred, and we still eat garlic in a lot of meals.

I’m not sure why I’m disappointed.

Yoongi,

You’ll be grateful to know that after visiting two Romanian castles, I have no desire to live in a castle. It’s too drafty.

But I’ve attached some photos for you to see how beautiful they are. Yes, that’s the best friend imitating two of the statues we found in the abandoned castle garden. It’s her thing.

The last one is me. BFF said I looked like a forest faerie. What do you think?

Jagiya,

I don’t even know if I’ll send this. Emails aren’t my thing. A lot of words in general aren’t my thing. But I wanted to talk to you today.

I wanted to tell you that I’m frustrated. Not with you. Just work. Work. It’s not school or class anymore, it’s work. It’s the career I’ve pursued and today I just wanted to quit and go find a ‘normal’ job. One that has a steady paycheck and requires no creativity at all. No blood. No soul. Not that I have much soul invested here. I know I have to put in my dues, but I just want to be heard.

Maybe that’s why I wanted to talk to you today. To be heard. You listen and you hold my hand and life doesn’t feel so shitty. I want my head on your lap, your hand in my hair, you reading poetry aloud. I want your mouth on mine.

I want you so much, sometimes I can’t breathe.

I wish I knew more about music production so I could find something for him here. I went to a church today, just to listen to the organ playing. It was so gorgeous, my eyes welled up. I think it was just the music. Maybe it’s Yoongi.

It’s not that I need him here. I just want to share all of this with him. Sharing joy is like multiplying it.

Is this what it’s like? Is this what everyone (or what seems like everyone) gets to experience every day?

I’m so tired of being an odd number. Number 3 in a group, Number 5. Number 7. Every time there’s a deal for two people, or four. What about those of us in odd numbers?

I’m being whiny. I might open a coffeehouse someday and all the tables will have odd numbers of chairs.

Czech - June 24 - Journal

We’ve finally arrived in Prague, though we aren’t staying quite in the city centre. We’re near Petrin, which might be the only Czech name I can pronounce (and I think I’m doing that badly). There’s a small bed and breakfast (only three rooms available) that we have settled in. The owner is Valentin (I know!) who asked us, in beautifully accented English, to call him Val. He has a daughter, a ten year old named Jitka who helps him with the dishes (she might help him with more, but that’s all I’ve seen so far).

My room is tiny, which Val apologized for, but the other room is occupied for the next two nights. I told him I loved it, which I do. Especially the lace curtains dressing the window that looks out on a few trees before getting to the main street. When I pointed them out, he thanked me and said his wife had picked them out. She died two years ago, from some sickness (I didn’t understand his translation). After that awkward quiet, he said that he offers tea in the evenings downstairs. He hoped we’d come.

We’ll be here nearly a week, so I unpacked my clothes and set them in the small chest of drawers. I’ve loved traveling, but I really do look forward to not living out of a suitcase and having more than just these outfits to wear.

----

Sorry, I pretty much stopped writing in the middle of a thought and I don’t remember where I was going with that. We did have tea and it was lovely. It was nice to talk to someone from the area. Other than the obvious touristy things, he gave us a lot of things to try. I cannot wait to try all the food! BFF says he kept looking at me and I think she’s full of it. He is handsome. Very distinguished looking, with pretty blue eyes.

Even if it’s all in her head, it would be nice if he did see me like that. I’m not going to do anything about it. Even if Yoongi wasn’t a part of this, I probably wouldn’t.

But who doesn’t like to feel wanted? Even in the shallowest of senses?

June 27

“Hyung,” Hoseok elbows him. “You’re vibrating.”

It takes Yoongi a second for his friend’s words to make sense. He had been in his own world for the last few minutes. The whole house is in a debate over dinner plans and Yoongi is too tired to make a decision.

Not that he doesn’t vote for hotpot, but he’s always alone in that one.

He grabs his phone from the coffee table, squinting as though that will explain how you are calling him. He slides his thumb across the screen and brings it up to his ear.

“Jagiya?”

“Yoongi,” your voice is so warm and effusive that he can feel his cheeks heat. “You answered.”

“You called.”

“Thought you might be working. I was trying to figure out what to say on your voicemail.” Your words are slower than usual, but he wonders if that’s just the reception on the call. “Where are you?”

“At home. Your home. With the guys.” He winces. He knows you said it was okay, but on the weekends, the guys really like leaving the city and coming to your place. It only took a week for them to realize that. “If that’s okay.”

“Four wonderful men in my house? No one would believe me.” You giggle.

“Are you drunk?”

“Um… Maybe?”

He gets up, waving off Hoseok who wants to steal the phone and talk to you. “You don’t know?”

“Wellllll, it’s my first time having absinthe, so I am not sure of the correct lingo.”

He pauses on his way back to your bedroom. “Absinthe.”

All three of his housemates stop talking and look at him.

“It’s really easy to get here in Czech. That’s where I am. Yoongi, it’s beautiful here.”

He continues to the bedroom, shutting the door behind him. “I bet. So are you drunk-dialling me?” He can’t help the little smile on his face. He’s never seen you legitimately intoxicated. He’s bummed he can’t see it now.

“No! Yes! I mean, I wanted to hear your voice.”

“Yeah?” He plops on your bed, laying back with his arm under his head.

“I think the BFF and her hubby have ditched me for the night.”

That didn’t sound like them.

“Are you alone?”

“Yes. In the bedroom of our B and B.”

He breathes a sigh of relief. “So, you’re safe.”

“Yes, but I think they went to find a hotel room so they can have crazy hot sex.”

He snickers. “So?”

“It’s unfair. You’re not here, so no crazy hot sex for me.” Your voice has a whine to it and god help him, he thinks it’s adorable. “And before you say it, yes, I could go sleep with someone else, but I don’t wanna. Even the really nice owner with the cute kid here. Like if I was gonna, I would.”

His heart freezes. “You’ve met someone?”

“He runs this place. Single dad,” you sound like you're pouting. “And he’s handsome and speaks really good English. Best friend says he’s interested, but she’s biased. Even if he was… he’s not you.”

Yoongi swallows. “Oh.”

“I want to be with you. I wake up all alone in this sweet little bed, in this cozy room. I can see so many beautiful buildings outside my window and I just wish…” You trail off. “I wish you were here.”

“Jagi—”

“And this isn’t meant to make you feel bad or anything. I know you can’t come out here. You’re doing your studio hours and you are so close to the end of your degree. It’s dumb, but I’m so proud of you. You work so hard. You’re so tired, but you still came out to drive me to the airport.” There’s a sniffle on the other end. “Maybe you are an angel.”

“Probably not.”

“You’re right. I mean, an angel having sex with a mere mortal probably kicks them right out of heaven and I wouldn’t want that for you. Eternal damnation is not a great trade, no matter how good the sex is.”

He laughs at your rambling.

“Am I talking too much?”

“Not at all. I like hearing your voice, too.”

You sigh. “You say the loveliest things. In the loveliest voice.”

The warmth is back and he closes his eyes. “I can say lovelier things if you want.”

There is a moment of silence. “You’re talking about phone sex, aren’t you? You really want to. This is like the millionth time you’ve mentioned it.”

He chuckles. “I think that’s a bit exaggerated.”

“More than once. Less than a million.” You don’t say anything more. “I feel you judging me.”

“Not a bit, jagiya. Also, you can’t say you don’t want to.”

“How do you figure?”

“You brought it up without me saying anything really. So you’re thinking about it.” He waits for a protest, but there is none. Which makes him sit up and say your name.

There’s a huff on the other end. “Okay yes. Like hearing your voice, being stupidly tipsy and I haven't seen you in days and days, haven’t touched you in weeks…”

“You’re horny.” It’s half question, half statement and Yoongi is beyond delighted. “What are you wearing?”

There’s another huff. “That’s not very original.”

He chuckles. “Give me something.”

“Should I lie? Silky, black and lacy?”

He covers his mouth and laughs full out. “No. Tell me the truth.”

“My favorite old jeans and that black t-shirt of yours that you snuck into my suitcase.”

“You’re welcome for that, by the way.”

“Yoongi, this is too weird.”

“How much do you miss my touch?”

You hiss and whimper. His smile grows. He opens his mouth, more than ready to continue, but then hears a knock through the phone.

“Uh, hello?”

He hears your name spoken in a muffled way (like through a door) in a very male voice.

“Who is that?”

“The owner,” you whisper. “I, uh... Yes! I’ll be down in a bit!”

“The single one?”

“There’s only one owner.” He can hear you getting up and rustling around. “He’s making tea and invited me to join him.”

“Jagi.”

“I should let you go anyway. I’m sorry to keep you on the phone this long.”

“Sweetheart.” It’s not the interrupted session of phone sex that has him so worried, is it? He’s pretty sure he wouldn’t have gotten too far with you.

“Have a good night with the guys. Give them my love.” You hang up and Yoongi is left on your bed, alone. He rolls off, sliding the phone into his back pocket and rubbing his hands over his face.

“Fuck,” he exclaims to the empty room. You’re tipsy, with a man, in a foreign country. And yeah, maybe he said this is exactly what he wanted.

He really doesn’t want this.

There were many perks to dating the heir of your city’s top conglomerate, the endless showering of gifts being one of them, but your favorite thing about your boyfriend wasn’t his overflowing pockets or his secure future, but the lovesick look in his eyes when you told him how much you loved him.

Jeongguk was an enigma.

He was born to be the stereotypical rich boy that authors of teen fiction could only dream of, his looks suitable for magazine covers and his brains destined for top-notch universities. His bloodline was carefully crafted by generations before him, every marriage carefully planned and executed with the ultimate goal to preserve their place in society as apex predators. In fact, Jeongguk’s entire life had been one big script his family had carefully pushed him along, from the fencing classes he took to the hiring of the nation’s best nannies to care for him, all subtle enough for him to not complain but demanding enough that he knew what was going on.

The only thing they hadn’t planned in Jeongguk’s life was him meeting you.

“All commercial flights out of the northeastern region are delayed until further notice. Our expert team here at TXT613 is predicting that the winter storm will move into the surrounding cities of Candy Cane Lane, Sleighbells, Chestnut and, Snow Falls at around 6:30pm. This system of storms is gaining traction as we speak and is expected to bring about catastrophic snow fall in the regions on our screen. We advise those who are living or lodging in these cities to have the necessary supplies and prepare for a potential loss of power.”  

You’re leaning on your elbows, helplessly watching the screen. The bar you are sitting in his bustling with activity, but no one seems to pay much attention to the disturbing content playing through the speakers.

“Excuse me?” You call softly to the bartender, “How long do these things normally last?”

He cocks his head for a moment before glancing behind him at the screen, “The weather? Oh well-“ He chuckles as he sets a glass onto the countertop, “-if their predictions are correct, you’re looking at a delay of at least a few days, maybe even a week…”

Your eyes widen, “A week? But I’m supposed to be on a flight tomorrow morning…”
