Hellsite (affectionate) - Tumblr Posts
Silence about my hoarding habits tumblr
@staff please don't let the twitter users who are inevitably going to come here due to the elon purchase bully you into changing things.
Don't make tumblr a second twitter. We love our hellsite(affectionate) exactly how it is. they can get used to it or leave. Tis a delicate ecosystem here.
being on tumblr is just cozy... you know what i mean? instagram and twitter is all flashy and loud but tumblr is as cozy as my bedroom with scented candles on a cold November night
tiktok is such an awful app, it's almost designed to feed you misinformation and expose you to insane discourse. unlike beloved tumblr, the app that feeds me misinformation and exposes me to insane discourse
THESIS: the real reason that people stay on this hellsite is not “chronological order” or “the drama” or whatever (per se), but is instead linked to how tumblr, unlike most social media, is not optimised to give content as short of a half-life as possible, but instead is optimised to let content continue to cycle for months, years, even decades. this has in turn led to a more consistent centralised site “culture” in which there is more coherent linkage among different areas of the site, thus also explaining why its content permeates so thoroughly throughout the internet.
Im enjoying the longevity of tumblrs recontextualization style of humor. a seemingly innocuous post followed by like "posts that a gnome would make" or like "are you a phone"
And of course, they are on this hellsite (affectionate) at;
How did I not realise this before?!
CheapSweets Pick 'n' Mix - Best of 2022
What is it?
Remnants of the Vessel, first full album from Los Angeles experimental doomsters Faetooth (Jenna - Bass and vocals, Ash - Guitar and vocals, Ari - Guitar and vocals, Rah - Drums, plus guest cellist Ari Bone).
What is it like?
Fairy Doom Metal. What does that mean? It's an album that is by turns etherial, moody, and absolutely crushing. The guitars and bass have a great sludgy, fuzzy tone, the drumming (much like the album as a whole) ranges from subtle to brutal as the songs demand, and there is a real mix of vocal styles that work fantastically well together. Oh, and there's some great cello on some of the tracks. More cello in doom metal, please :)
It draws from myth and folklore, it's fae, witchy, and deeply melancholic, and it's easily one of my favourite albums of 2022.
You might like this if you are a fan of:
Thou, Sleep, My Dying Bride, Messa, Mrs. Piss...
Lyrics such as:
Futile is the work of men
Metal, stone, and words will all bend
On thy knees now
We fall with what we build
Don't just take my word for it:
Spin magazine ranked it their (joint) best album of 2022!
Also highly rated by A Spooky Mansion from Toilet Ov Hell
Standout tracks:
Echolalia, La Sorciere, Saturn Devouring His Son
Where can I find it?
Youtube;
Bandcamp;
Physical releases from DuneAltar;
And, Spotify;
And of course, if you are in the LA area you might get to see them live (in which case, colour me jealous :D )
what i love most about this tumblr poll era is that all of us immediately decided to unleash every single social behaviour experiment of the last century onto each other in a way that would make even the hardiest of psychologists tremble. it's like if lab rats saw what the scientists were doing and decided to cut out the middle man
i still can’t believe i got all the way through dracula daily, a chaotic 7-month bookclub with thousands of people, and I stayed spoiler-free to the end. this was my first read of Dracula. incredible.
It's been less than a week and we've already been hit with a "do you like the color of the sky" post. I missed this shitshow ❤️.
This does genuinely concern me :/
