Okay so I’m off to France now and thus i won’t be posting for a while (like a month or so).
what if we just created a fandom for a tv show that doesn’t exist and we build it up really big and make a ton of inside jokes until the internet just accepts it as a real show and it starts getting included in polls and gets it’s own imdb page and a group of outsiders go crazy trying to find dl links
let’s do this guys
SO THIS IS ACTUALLY HAPPENING GUYS

that is all
I’m having one of two exams tomorrow, so sorry for being inactive today and probably some of tomorrow too
SHARE TO SAVE TUMBLR!
- Let’s try and get 100k notes
A review by one of the folks sums it up perfectly:
“What worries me about Yahoo! buying Tumblr is how it would choose to incorporate the website into its email and homepage features. One of the reasons why Tumblr is so unique is because it’s a niche market. By adding more users who don’t fit into this niche, it would make it more difficult for communities to develop within Tumblr, and Tumblr would have to change to accommodate these new users. Tumblr as a website is not the kind that you can sign up for in a day and be on your way. It is a website crafted so that you can immediately post but must spend several weeks, sometimes even months, to build a community. With new users who would not be willing to spend time growing a community, Tumblr would have to be changed, which would alienate its current users. Those users have spent time and effort to make Tumblr what it is today, and they are the ones who spend time on the website daily. A user who is checking onto Tumblr because it’s attached to their homepage is not going to be as strong of a user nor as dedicated. By changing the website to suit this new user, you would lose the strong users while building an undedicated usership.
To any website that would think of buying Tumblr, they must understand that it is a website that cannot be changed to make it more user friendly to a casual blogger. I think that many Tumblr users would be less worried about a buy-out if they were promised that their communities and ways of using Tumblr would not be changed. No one is going to mind Yahoo! buying the website and gaining a few extra million dollars per year from the minimal advertising; what we will be upset with is if a company like Yahoo! then changes the website to increase casual users and decrease dedicated users. Yahoo! would gain nothing by losing this “cool” group of bloggers in an age group they so desperately want to reach, so they must cater to these individuals by leaving the website exactly as is.” - houseoftombombadil
As much as is does sound like a load of bullshit for someone to buy Tumblr, it’s a possibility. I Personally think it should stay independent and I hope David Karp keeps a hold of it like his own child. Or we make enough noise to where such major changes (if bought) will not happen. I would hate to see Tumblr turned into an advertising dump.We’re not a ‘hip fad group’ to be marketed to. I hate the fact that’s all we look like to businesses in the end.Okay, horrible, but how is sharing going to make a difference? What can we do to change it? Anyone got any ideas?
Also, tumblr have been talking to both Microsoft and Facebook. I haven’t heard anyone talk about that.And, no, they’re not about to buy tumblr. They’re considering the offer.
this has been a PSA
Jesus fucking christ
This is exactly the kind of shit I was talking about. I had a rant some weeks ago about people ‘hiding’ comments in their tags, and the response was mainly two things: Either people did it just because they preferred it that way for whatever reason (which in the end is really their business), or this, which is something that until I made that post I had no idea about. I didn’t know this shit was a thing. I had no idea people actually posted shit like this, because it just seems so fucking unreal.
This is bullshit, and the person who posted this is bullshit by extension.
This is some fucked up elitist mentality that only some thoughts are “worthy” of being made. That if your response doesn’t live up to their standards then why the fuck are you posting it? Keep your mouth shut because what you have to say isn’t worth hearing! This of course is further ingrained by the use of excessive caps and emoticons in the original post suggesting that anyone who makes a response like that is a child or an idiot, because there’s no faster or lazier way to discredit the other side than to imitate them with fevered, emoticon-littered writing.Well I say fuck that. I produce my own content (and I don’t mean compiling TV gifsets) and I want to see everything everyone has to say. Even if it’s just AAAA THIS SCARED ME or WOWOWOW THIS IS SUPER CUUUUTE WOW, seeing that kind of response means a lot to me. It means I evoked that kind of response. That’s very flattering! And for people to want to censor others because they think their thoughts aren’t important or worthwhile enough to be read, frankly, that’s disgusting. No one should be pressured into feeling like they have to shut up especially on a subject and medium like motherfucking Tumblr. It’s like telling someone “GET OFF MY POST”.
And I mean let’s think practically about this, too: It’s not like every time someone reblogs your post AND ADDS TEXT a man comes to your door and sits you down and reads it out loud off a telegram. What happens is that the little list that shows “so and so reblogged your post” has one additional line of text on it saying “AND ADDED: [COMMENT YOU DON’T THINK WAS WORTH YOUR TIME]”. I would say it takes one extra second to scroll past but the amount of time spent scrolling that additional line is so insignificant I couldn’t even measure it. Most people who address this spend way more time complaining about it than they ever would spend being inconvenienced by having to read what people thought of their post (god forbid)
So in summation this whole toxic, bullshit mentality of “Hey plebeians who have the privilege of looking at my stuff! Here’s how you are and are not allowed to respond to it!” is awful and so arrogant I almost didn’t believe it was real
If you want to sort of stash your thoughts away in tags, I can’t force you not to by any means
But you should never feel like you have to hide your thoughts because they’re not ‘good enough’.
Especially not here.TODAY ON:
THIS IS MY BLOG AND I SHALL DO AS I PLEASE
TITTYSPRINKLES
^^^THIS, motherfuckers.
Yeah, you heard me.
The thing that makes me wnat to vomit about OP the most is them saying that people who speak english, but run a blog in another language shouldn’t use their blogs language to comunicate to their followers, like “oh you don’t get to have a say cause you’re not speaking a language I understand” that’s so mingrain inducing you have no idea.first off: the person may just be translating the original post for another language.
second off: if they are making a comment about you and you’re afraid of being insulted in another language, this is some social interaction in a bar, or at work, you’ve got it in writing, google can detect and translate that shit.
third off: english isn’t everyones langauge of choice, and shouldn’t be forced onto everyone just because you don’t want to be ‘inconvinianced’.
basicly fuck this xenophobic BULLSHIT.
FUCKING THANK GOD FOR THOSE COMMENTS THIS WAS NEEDED
Taking a break
As I mentioned a couple of days ago, I’m probably not going to be very active for a short while. I think I might slowly be losing interest in keeping my blog up to date and active, since there’s not a whole lot happening in the fandom as of lately.
Also, I’ve begun reading more books and stuff, so the time I spend on tumblr is less than before.
I don’t know how long I’ll be somewhat inactive for. I just need some time to figure it out.
I’ll keep you up to date on what I decide to do. Not even sure about how long I’ll be able to stay away from here.
Geez sounds like I’m about to make a really serious decision with huge consequences.
tl;dr: I’ll be taking some time off from tumblr. I don’t know for how long. I’ll keep you up to date with more boring personal shit.
sorry I haven’t been really active these last couple of days and such, but I have a shit load of stuff I need to do at the moment. I’ll probably not be very active these next couple of days either
sorry
