Neil Gaiman: Crowley sits alone in the dark listening to Pale Blue Eyes by the Velvet Underground Me: ok, so, within the context of the story, that means

(1/7)

i love this metaphor and it's been driving me nuts

The first moment of splendor

I made this one based on the first scene of season 2 and this made me believe that Aziraphale fell in love the moment he met Crowley while Crowley at this point was just full of awe and wonder as he created the galaxy. I noticed that Az somehow copied some of Crowley’s manerism, just bubly and cheerful, or perhaps the wing cover later, back in season 1, was Aziraphale returning Crowley’s kind gesture at the very beginning, this moment.

In any case i love love love it, soooo many good moments in this season. What are your thoughts?

i slithered here from eden, just to hide outside your door

I danced with you in a nightmare

I was dragging you across the floor

i hope you find your twin flame in this life

"A submarine has gone missing" : Oh jeeze, I hope they find those people.

"A submarine visiting the wreck of the titanic has gone missing" : Well, that's a little ghoulish but I can't blame folks for a morbid curiosity, especially at a monument to white man's hubris.

"An experimental cobbled together submarine visiting the wreck of the titanic has gone missing" : Well at this point y'all were just taking your lives into your own hands and also how is 'slapped together submarine' a legal thing that's real.

"An experimental cobbled together submarine full of the absurdly wealthy visiting the wreck of the titanic has gone missing" : Okay now this just feels a little too on point someone has to be joking with me.

don't generally post these types of things but i haven't seen anyone else bring it up, so...

for all new reddit refugees, i highly recommend this video:

i see a lot of people talking about changing your profile picture asap, and i fully agree, but aside from that i haven't seen general advice.

the most important thing, after changing your pfp, is to understand how reblogs work. one thing i consistently see people get wrong is putting text on every reblog instead of in the tags. i think this video very clearly explains how these features should be used.

aside from that it's pretty simple! find people with similar interests, follow them, and cultivate your dash! hope this helps :)

Terrarium Torso

Very Brief Guide to [tumblr], for Reddit refugees

Shit You Must Do Right Fucking Now:

Change your profile picture, blog header, and title to something other than the defaults. Do it right now. You will be mistaken for a bot otherwise, and blocked.

Go into Settings -> Dashboard, scroll down to Preferences, and turn off the options in the picture. This will get rid of most of the algorithmic stuff.

Turn off Tumblr Live. You have to snooze it once every 7 days for some stupid reason. It's hosted through another company and will steal your data if you use it.

Go to your blog settings (under the little person menu) and turn off these two settings:

Turn off infinite scroll (lags the site) and turn on timestamps on posts, in the same menu as Preferences.

Basic Features of the Site:

Reblogs drive the entire site. If you'd upvote something on Reddit, you'd reblog it on Tumblr. You can add text, images, or tags to a reblog, but you're not required to.

The dashboard is the equivalent to your Reddit feed, and contains the posts of all the people you follow, with the newest at the top

You can send an ask to someone, and it'll appear in their askbox for them to answer. You can receive them too, or turn off the settings if you don't want.

Tags aren't actually used for finding stuff (search function is dogshit), but are more for categorizing. People also talk in tags. Because Tumblr is weird, you can't use quotation marks (") or commas in them without fucking it up

You can filter both tags and phrases under Account Settings; doing this will put a filter over a post that contains them, which you'll have to click through to see the post itself. Useful for avoiding hate speech or blocking out annoying stuff

You can make polls in posts. Here's one now.

Likes are useless. They literally do fuck-all except send a notification to the OP.

Stuff Tumblr Does That Other Sites Don't:

Very old posts (I'm talking from like 2012) often circulate on this site. There's no such thing as a post being "too old" to reblog

Blocking is highly encouraged; you can block someone for any reason. Even for just being annoying.

If you and someone else are following each other, you are mutuals. Mutuals are fucking awesome and are treasured like friends. Mutuals are a thing on other sites but Tumblr treats em differently.

You can screenshot someone's tags if you like them and add them to a reblog. This is called "peer review"

Sometimes someone will find a blog and go through it and like/reblog a bunch of posts. This is totally fine and not "creepy" like it is seen as on other sites.

Tumblr jokes often rely on Continuing The Bit and a "yes, and?" attitude. Goncharov is probably the best example of this.

We are fucking infested with bots. They will either have totally blank profiles or be filled with porn. Block and report on sight.

Censorship is pretty lax here. I can say "I want to brutally stab Elon Musk to death and watch him bleed out in front of a crowd" and nobody gives a shit.

General Etiquette:

Don't try to do epic clapbacks here, you'll probably just get laughed at or blocked. If someone is bugging you or spouting bigoted bullshit, block them.

Reblog art!!! Artists often struggle to gain traction on here; reblogging will give them a boost.

Not every reblog needs a comment or tag in it

You can go all out with tagging your stuff to organize it, or you can just leave it all blank. Someone might ask "hey, can you tag these posts as [x]?" and you can decide if you want to do that or not. It's generally polite to oblige, but "no" is still reasonable.

Avoid discourse like the plague. Filter it, block people who start it, scroll past it when you see it. Just don't get involved in it. Ever.

Don't put fandom tags or jokes on someone's posts about serious matters or personal shit

You're responsible for curating your own dashboard; if you complain about constantly seeing stuff you don't like, that's probably on you. Don't be afraid to unfollow.

Follower count doesn't matter much here and you don't have to make yours known if you don't want to.

Reblog, don't repost. Reblogging keeps the credit and doesn't "steal" engagement like Twitter retweets.

If someone likes something a LOT, they might reblog it like 30 times in a row. This is normal

Having a post blow up is actually kinda a bad thing, since it floods your notifications. There's a sort of in-joke about how having a big post is awful and people jokingly try to stop their own posts from blowing up, often in vain.

Tips:

Get XKit Rewritten if you're on desktop, it's a really helpful extension

In the little drop-down menu next to the 'Post now' button you can either save a draft, schedule a post, or add it to your queue. The queue lets you post things in order at a certain interval, which you can change. It's good for spreading stuff out over time.

You can use Shift+R to quickly reblog stuff and Shift+Q to queue!

Filter your notifications under Activity - you can also see some neat graphs

Find each other! If you want your old Reddit communities to stick together, seek out other refugees and follow them.

Have fun on [tumblr], everyone!

reblog the money pigeon for a financially stable future

wylan is so funny

this omegaverse ai thing is so funny i love the internet

Made this and quietly laughed to myself the whole time.

Alternatively:

whatever you do,

do not imagine nina zenik and jesper fahey, two long-lived, powerful grisha, reunite in ketterdam to visit their friends

do not imagine them holding hands as jesper lifts his free one to trace the words, “wylan van eck, beloved friend, son and husband”

do not imagine nina leaning on a crow-tipped cane while she holds a dagger whose engraved blade says “we never stop fighting” and whispers songs of sailors

do not imagine them staying from dusk until dawn because they’ve dwelled in cemeteries together at night before, all of them together

do not imagine nina watching jesper with a silent question in her eyes

do not imagine them finally getting up, sore from so much time staying still, and heading north where there is someone else who awaits their visit

whatever you do,

do not imagine that

All of us, collectively: fuck bots

Haiku bot: sometimes I mess up!

Us: 🥺

Us, collectively: there you go little buddy! You did pretty great!

words cannot describe how much i NEED kaz to crack me up in the SOC spin-off because his unhinged sense of humor means everything to me.

and don’t get me started on how wylan and inej and matthias are also fucking hilarious and the fact that we never saw that on screen should be a war crime.

Some of my personal favorite underrated Kaz moments from the books.

Warm bouquet commish

Imagine a fic where Wylan was kicked out when his father realised he couldn’t read (so at around eight or nine) and somehow survives in the barrel long enough to befriend Kaz, who is just a year or so older than him. Kaz develops a soft spot for this child who was reborn in the water same as he was, and Wylan essentially becomes his right hand man as Kaz works his way up the dregs and they become inseparable and all that. The rest of the story continues as in canon except Wylan is a bit more of a hardened criminal with less of a conscience and he and Kaz have a closer relationship (+ they’re very protective of each other obviously).

I feel like the Wesper dynamic would be really interesting as well, with Jesper perhaps being the more naive one in this.

SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME THAT THERE’S A FIC OUT THERE WITH THIS PREMISE BECAUSE I REALLY WANT TO READ IT BUT I REALLY DON’T WANT TO WRITE IT 😭

nina giving brum permanent baldness instead of killing him is the level of petty i aspire to be

this is just six of crows but here we go:

- nina and matthias never actually abandoned their duties for “love”. they accept each other, but at the same time are tormented by their loyalty to their country. nina and matthias are extremely homesick all the time; nina never discarded her faithfulness in ravka or grisha and matthias never renounced his religion. they changed because of one another, yes, but their story is not just “enemies to lovers”.

- inej’s sexual trauma can be set off when someone touches her - even when nina or jesper hugs her. she doesn’t react quite as badly as kaz, but physical contact still triggers her. she suppressed it so even kaz didn’t know about this until she told him.

- jesper can actually hold his own in a physical, non-gun related fight (i have proof). he is also smart enough to make his own guns with the help of a fabrikator, to argue with wylan about explosive materials and to pursue higher education. he is not just a comedic relief.

- kaz is ruthless, amoral and cold but he is not a distant boss to the other crows. he makes jokes with them, flips jesper off when they banter, jokingly calls inej “treasure of [his] heart” and nina “love”, loses bets to wylan and makes fun of matthias’s religiousness - most of the time he acts like their slappable friend with a dark sense of humor and a questionable haircut.

- wylan is not just jesper’s cute love interest that tags along on a job just for shits and giggles and the occasional booms and bangs. he is a deeply damaged child who still believes in goodness despite never believing in himself.

for people who haven’t read the shadow and bone/ six of crows books, but have seen the show:

- inej ghafa is a survivor of childhood sex trafficking. she has ptsd and reacts in a panic attack at even walking past the menagerie

- kaz’s trauma isn’t just pekka rollins being responsible for jordie’s death, and waking up on the barge. he had to swim to shore, age nine and barely alive, using jordie’s body as a float

- the darkling has done far worse things than are shown on screen. he is not a ‘lost man’ and alina is not his ‘balance’

- alina was seventeen upon the darkling being nsfw/ romantic with her

- matthias helvar did not lead drüskelle, that was jarl brum- matthias is only just barely an adult himself

- the crows are not their own separate gang, they are part of the dregs, who per haskell leads and kaz takes over from haskell after haskell sold out his lieutenant (kaz) to pekka rollins

- zoya, genya, and alina have personalities outside of either being traumatised or hating each other

- alina never wanted any of the power and fame and idolatry, and in the end of the books is stripped of it all. she is very happy about this

- jesper is a gambling addict and somebody who watched the death of his mother

i wholeheartedly believe the conversation went like this

wylan: you can’t use me as leverage, he will kill me.

kaz: no he won’t.

wylan:

kaz:

wylan: wanna bet?

Reblog if you're gay, lesbian, bisexual, pansexual, asexual, transgender or a supporter.

This should be reblogged by everyone. Even if you’re straight, you should be a supporter.
