I think a lot of people are forgetting that on tumblr fandom used to be practiced very differently. now everyone fucks off to their discords or tumblr groups to discuss everything with a select few, making tags be nearly only used for posting some finished fanworks or not at all
a decade ago people didn't have tumblr groups. people didn't even have dms. if you wanted to talk to anyone about anything you had to make a post, or send an ask (which more often than not would get published and thereby become a post in the end too)
so next time you think "I have a fandom thought but I have to find a small group of hyperspecifically like-minded people to share it with in private" remember all the freaks you could be missing out on meeting by keeping the tags dead. use tags, make friends. fuck discord.
I really really don't like "give us an interesting fact(s) about yourself!! :D" icebreakers in any situation. I am boring, my interests are not marketable, why should I need to share info about myself for this college class?? It's already online, I dont intend to talk to any of these people.
Its all so dumb...
fuck my wormpolls are queued out to april
Back at it again with another Parahumans fandom question.
Just thinking about something for a fic I'm writing that sort of applies to the setting at large, did Columbine happen on Earth Bet? Because from what I can tell it didn't. The Columbine shooting was the catalyst in the US to get increased surveillance and security in the school system which led to all the security cameras in the hallways and on campus in schools of all levels.
The reason I think this didn't happen on Earth Bet because if schools like Winslow were using security cameras then the extensive bullying campaign Taylor was on the receiving end of would have stopped way sooner. But even if it hadn't, she was shoved into her locker, objectively, and hallways in schools are generally where cameras are most frequently, so if there was a camera in that hallway then it could've been easily determined who put Taylor into the hospital. I guess the fact that that doesn't happen means that either 1. School shootings such as Columbine never got national attention like in our timeline or 2. Winslow is so corrupt and underfunded that it can't meet DOE security standards in a public high school.
I know there's some fanon about how corrupt and evil Principal Blackwell is, but security cameras provide a certain objectivity to events that theoretically should have been easy to obtain during the investigation as to what happened? I dunno, thoughts just spiraling.
why would garlic bread betray me like this, I just wanted to write fanfic. save me, TUMs
Wait, is ward copagnda? Worm seemed relatively anti cop when I read it. From what I've heard Pact is too.
Everything you said is completely true simultaneously.
worm is anti-cop
pact is extremely anti-cop
Victoria throws petty criminals into an alternate dimension prison colony to die of exposure for smoking weed and it's seen as a pretty chill move.
Waking up a sister
Put a blonde wig and some googly eyes on the telephone and Amy will get all bashful and embarrassed, maybe even a white skirt made out of tissue paper.
Would Amy Dallon be into telephone sex?
