CONGRATULATIONS TO BAM, YOU ARE OFFICIALLY THE WEBTOON PROTAGONIST WHO HAS SUFFERED THE MOST!

The supporting characters/antagonists edition will be coming out tonight.

So…

Does AO3 have a plan if queer content get ban in the usa ? Like… they allow everything that is allowed per USA’s law so if they don’t (and even if they do) I strongly advise that y’all download all the queer fic you can…

Recent discourse reminds me of that cult indoctrination trick that's often used to weed out more difficult marks early on, where they tell you all that you aren't allowed to eat rice on Tuesdays and then if you protest they go "wow SOMEBODY likes rice a little much huh" as if you're the fucking weirdo who cares too much about how much rice is consumed between Monday and Wednesday instead of them.

And this forces you to decide whether your autonomy matters to you more than the approval of the group - while they'll still act like you're on thin ice either way, if you give in at this point they know you're theirs forever, because now they've established a foothold, you've shown a moral weakness, which they will brand you with so it can be used against you in the future ("hey RICE-addict here doesn't want help break into the city records office") to force you to double-down and isolate you further.

And if instead you do decide to push back further, after your abrupt departure from the group ("You're seriously leaving us over RICE?!? Seriously?") and subsequent ostracism, you can then be used as a demonstration to the others who were more pliable, of how the outgroup is full of people like you who are obsessed with violating the No-Tuesday-Rice rule to the point where they'll abandon all their friends, who cared so much for them, so it clearly isn't an arbitrary restriction, you're the kind of monster these rules are intended to protect them from, thus all the other wise and esoteric precepts of the charismatic leader are implied to be equally justified.

Anyways, any new people from Twitter, welcome!

Tumblr’s kinda similar in a buncha ways (Tweet = Post, Retweet and Quote Tweet = Reblog), but here’s a short little summary of things that work differently and might help yall to know:

Optional: Go to your Settings, go to Dashboard, and remove “Best Things First”. This is a very recent attempt by Tumblr to include a form of “Likes” based algorythm. It’s somewhat primitive, and makes it very hard for most posts to get any visibility, so it’s highly recommended to just turn it off. If you do, all posts on your dash will be seen in chronological order instead.

Tags work in a similar way to Twitter, except you now add them at the very bottom of a post! They’re smaller and greyed out, so they’re much less intrusive, and you can add in up to 20 tags per post. The first 5 tags are the ones most likely to show up on searches, so keep that in mind when posting!

Tags are more than just a hashtag system! Because you can write spaces and full sentences in them, people will use them a lot to add uninntrusive comments on reblogs. See, direct comments on reblogs will stick under the original post for any chain of reblogs that originates from yours, and might detract from the original post. Only include comments there if there’s something you think is important to point out of discuss about the original post (and please try keep civil)

REBLOG!! FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, REBLOG! Tumblr doesn’t work like Twitter. There’s no algorythm here to spoonfeed you the most popular posts based on likes. Things on tumblr only move via two ways: By tags, and especially by reblogs. Always try to reblog posts you like, so they can actually be seen! Likes are nice but don’t actually do anything for visibility! (and no, “Best Things First” doesn’t help expand beyond the people and tags you are already following)

Curate your experience! Blocking is always an option, and because there’s so many possible tags that can be added on a post, it’s much easier to blacklist more specific tags for yourself (For example, blacklisting #gore or #eyestrain). DONT CENSOR WORDS IN TAGS! Stuff like “k!ll” and “s*icide mention” doesn’t screw with “The Algorythm”, because there is none! The only thing it does is make it impossible for people to avoid the tags they’ve blacklisted!

Posts can be as long as you want! Tumblr will automatically “hide” part of a post after a certain point under a “See More” button to prevent cluttering people’s dash (It might’ve even done it for this very post). Just by clicking on it, people will instantly be able to see the full unchanged post, which is very handy!

Anyone’s free to continue adding to this!

This was a ToP server collab from 9/25/21.

If lighthouses had talking AIs, Khun's AI would probably berate him for not taking care of himself.

Summary: Khunbam slowdance in the snow

This floor went through various seasons and they happen to arrive in time for the snow. Bam laughed as he tugged a shivering Khun out into the front yard. The snow made a satisfying crunch beneath Bam’s boots, but there was a hidden layer of ice underneath that kept him clinging tightly to Khun as he walked aimlessly around the snow.

“Is this all you called me out for? To dance with you in the snow?” There was no bite to his words, but Khun did like to tease Bam about his childish whims.

“Dance? That’s a good idea! Teach me to dance!”

Khun blinked. He hadn’t anticipated that. He cleared his throat and squeezed the gloved hand in his. He positioned Bam’s other hand on his shoulder and placed his own on Bam’s waist. He was glad his face was rosy from the cold and definitely not because he was touching Bam.

“Watch and follow my feet, but don’t step on me.”

“I won’t!”

Khun doubted that, but starting moving anyway.

Crunch, crunch, crunch, the snow flattened under their feet. Bam concentrated hard as he followed along, his boots bumping against Khun’s but luckily never tripping him up. Once they got the waltz down, Bam finally looked up, a huge grin on his face.

“Thank you, Khun-ssi. I think I got it.”

Khun smiled fondly as he lead Bam to some fresh snow. “You’re welcome. Shall we dance a little longer?”

Bam laughed as he let himself be guided by Khun. “Yes, please!”

Trope of the day is... realizing they've basically been in a relationship for a while now.

Perfect for that married couple in the friendgroup that isn't actually a couple yet. They often find out about it because more and more people act confused when they say they're not actually a couple. Even people they've known for years think they've been dating all along.
