The Nerd I Reblogged This From Has A Quality Blog And I Recommend You All Follow Them

thank you reggie uncle neil needs to see this

since the pjo fandom refers to rick riordan as uncle rick then should we start referring to neil gaiman as uncle gaiman or do we have to stick with 'the coraline guy'

Writing Dark Romance that Doesn't Glorify Abuse

Hiya fellow writers of tumblr, i'm back from the dead.

i think it's pretty well-known at this point if you're on writeblr or booklr that most of the time, a 'dark romance' book will include romanticisation of abuse, an age gap that borders on creepy, or something equally messed up.

i don't plan on writing a dark romance novel anytime soon, but i was wondering; what are your ideas or tips on how to write this genre without glorifying all the abuse?

a ten-year-old boy, a mutant, a pharaoh, and Cid walk into a bar. they're there to play a gig

What if tim from jurassic park, angel from x-men apocalypse, cid from three of the final fantasy XIV expansion packs and ahkmenrah from the 2006 night at the museum started a band

Important alert re: Tumblr

Some of you may have heard the rumours that Tumblr might be folding soon. There's talk of employees being let go, with only skeleton staff remaining to manage the platform in the hope that a buyer comes along. These rumours have not been confirmed or denied either way, but it's true to say we have entered a sort of limbo.

With this in mind, I would strongly urge any Zepfic / rockfic writers, fan artists etc who post their works exclusively to Tumblr to migrate their work over to a03 or another suitable platform at the earliest possible opportunity. Even if the rumours are unfounded at present, it's likely only a matter of time before Tumblr really does disappear for real.

If there's truth to the rumours and a buyer comes along, well... we simply won't know what their agenda is going to be until it's implemented, so time is of the essence. Platforms that don't follow the TikTok model are no longer deemed profitable, making it extremely likely that any potential buyers will seek to change Tumblr beyond recognition, forcing fannish creativity to the margins once more.

I'm old enough to remember what happened with Livejournal in the 2000s and the feeling of being cut adrift from fan community for what seemed like forever, so I cannot stress this enough: Migrate your works and tell your friends to do the same. Look into alternative platforms for discussions, such as Discord. Even Facebook might be a temporary option, though I would strongly recommend using alt accounts and making discussion groups private and invite-only if you go there. I'm unaware of any similar alternatives to Tumblr, but if anybody can fill me in, I'd love to hear it.

Please reblog this entry, and feel free to use it for posting your suggestions!

Thanks for reading,

Luxe 💖

the blondification of maneskin

all of the above because i'm unhinged and unorganised

crowley probably invented the middle car seat

i feel like it'd be really funny just to wear crappy band t shirts like,,, on purpose. just a shirt with the word 'the beetles' or the kmart-ified band shirt that says "we will rock you!!" and there's just a picture of kurt cobain.

you 🫵

me 😦

is it just me or has homophobia started increasing again and the queer community has sort of dropped in reputation or how much people like us. like we had our three or five years of coexisting relatively peacefully but now the us is making laws against us and we're being labelled as propaganda and groomers that brainwash kids again
