TIMOTHY OLYPHANT Dreamcatcher, 2003

what terminally online looks like will depend on your primary platform. twitter brain worms look very different from tiktok brain worms and tumblr brain worms are a whole other species

Remember how LiveJournal let you have several icons (or avatars or "pfps" as you might call them now)? And you'd carefully choose an icon to fit the subject matter, your tone, and the blog on which you were commenting or posting?

And it could make your argument look that much snarkier if you used a rude one? Or you could use it to add a multiplier to a joke?

And icons, alongside banners and wallpapers, were a whole genre of fanwork with its own design language, conventions, and norms, including carefully crediting people for them?

That was neat.

please be patient with me im from the 1900s

I can’t actually verbalise just how SHITTED I am that the entire internet is being sanitised just so I can be absolutely ACCOSTED with ads for products that I don’t want

AND they’re making it the rules that you can’t opt out of ads unless you pay? Like literally everywhere?

If I drive for you, you get your money. You tell me where we start, where we're going, where we're going afterwards. I give you five minutes when you get there. Anything happens in that five minutes, and I'm yours. No matter what. Anything a minute on either side of that and you're on your own. I don't sit in while you're running it down. I don't carry a gun. I drive.

I’m actually really fun once you get to know me (takes 3-4 years).

Friendly reminder to all who consume fan made media: if you reblog gifs, gif makers will keep making them. If you reblog fanart, artists will keep drawing. If you leave comments on fanfics, writers will keep writing. As many have pointed out, we’re not Instagram and likes mean nothing :)

girl, me too
