His hands.

—

It’s such a small thing, hardly noticeable. Henrik’s gaze flicks over when he hears Jackie enter his lab, rummaging through his bandages until he finds a couple to wrap around his wrists. Jackie’s knuckles are bruised and bleeding, but his expression is stoic as ever, lips a thin line as he marches back out, probably going to wrap his hands up for healing purposes. Henrik watches him leave, wondering what triggered this bout of injuries, but he doesn’t follow.

He already knows Jackie won’t answer. He turns back to his work, figuring he’ll ask later, maybe over a cup of tea.

Jackie sits down in the living room to wrap his hands. Jameson is already sitting there, turning over a piece of wood in his hands, wondering what to carve next. He flicks his gaze up hopefully, wanting to move closer to Jackie and ask him for company, but Jameson says nothing when he notices Jackie’s fingers. They’re trembling lightly while Jackie wraps his knuckles up tightly, mouthing swear words to himself as he hisses back pain. Though his expression remains stoic, Jameson can see pain in Jackie’s eyes, so he lowers his gaze and turns back to his block of wood.

Maybe he’ll carve something later, or speak with Jackie when he’s not in a bad mood. He says nothing when he hears Jackie get up and storm away.

It’s a few days later, and Chase is sitting on the edge of Jackie’s bed. He’s rambling on about a project he wants done, while Jackie is typing out and organizing notes for him. Jackie’s always been the faster typer, but Chase stops briefly when he glances down at Jackie’s keyboard. Have Jackie’s fingers always been swollen? They look redder than normal. He opens his mouth to comment, but when he sees the impatient look on Jackie’s face, he dives right back into his ramblings, hoping to forget the brief but silent exchange.

He’ll worry about it later when they aren’t both in the middle of doing important work. Right now, he needs to focus.

Later that evening, Jackie and Marvin are lounging on the couch together. Laughing over stupid jokes, knocking back cans of soda and eating various junk foods. It’s a simple evening with nothing to worry about, until Marvin takes Jackie’s hand in his own. Not to hold, but to inspect. The mood shifts from light-hearted to more somber as Marvin falls silent, tracing along the many callouses along Jackie’s fingers, the faded scars, the bruises, healing cuts, and swollen pads.

How long had Jackie’s hands been like this?

His hands had been used for so much. Marvin sees Jackie grabbing at a falling Chase to save him from heights. He can see Jackie reaching a hand out to a lonely Jameson, who’s reaching back to take that offered friendship. Jackie’s hands prying a grief-filled Henrik away from a deceased patient, to guide Henrik away and pull him in for a hug.

Jackie’s hands have reached out to nudge Marvin into continuing his magic against all other odds, when reality should have had the magician sprawling back into oblivion. Jackie’s hands had always been there to hold him upright.

To hold all of them upright when they wanted to fall.

To hold the city in one piece, even without thanks for all the work he’s done.

Reaching for the most broken down person, always with a smile on his face, always with new scars on his fingers.

His hands have always been there, always a symbol of safety.

How had Marvin not noticed before? He glances up briefly to see Jackie watching him, an expression of melancholy on his face. He doesn’t need to peek into Jackie’s mind to know what the hero is feeling.

They both already know.

Silently, Marvin conjures up a bottle of lotion and rests the bottle in his lap. He keeps hold of Jackie’s hand, spreading the fingers out wide so he can start massaging them.

Silently, the others come trickling in, with snacks of their own, but the food isn’t what they’re focused on either. Chase is taking Jackie’s other hand in his own, giving it a squeeze before mirroring Marvin’s movements.

If Jackie’s hands can do so much for them, imagine what they can all do for Jackie.

Cliff: Have you ever ridden a horse?

Jenny: That is not how y-

Jack: *kickflips the horse*

Billy: Holy shi-

i’m always soft for damien. he’s so sweet :’)

this is the funniest thing they’ve ever done

Tips and Tricks For Watching along Livestreams

With the end of Unus Annus only a day away, everyone is gearing up for the final 12 hour livestream. Given how dedicated this fandom is to watching every video, I imagine a lot of people who’ve never powered through long live streams will want to watch the full 12 hours. As someone who routinely watches 3-6 hour livestreams and occasionally watches 10-12 hour ones, I figured I’d share some advice.

You will be exhausted. This isn’t so much a tip as it is a statement of fact. Doing anything for 12 hours, even if it’s just watching a livestream at a computer, will leave you exhausted. It’s better to expect and accept the exhaustion than to feel like shit later in the stream. For me, the exhaustion usually kicks in around the 7 hour mark, and depending on how good you are at sitting still, the exhaustion for you might start sooner or later.

Watch comfortably. This is something that a lot of people might over look. Once you choose a place to watch the stream, that’s most likely going to be where you watch the entire stream, so find a place that is comfortable for you. Some people might want to watch on their phone in bed, others at a computer desk, and others on a tv.

Have snacks and drinks with you. 12 hours is a long time, so you will probably get hungry as thirsty. You won’t want to get up from the stream once it starts, so having snacks and drinks right beside you will make it much easier. Personally, I recommend a full case of water bottles or juice pouches and a large bag of your favorite chips. Cookies and candy are also good snacks to have on hand.

Go to the bathroom early. It’s like a long car ride, even if you don’t feel like you need to go, you’ll be happier than if you end up needing a bathroom break within the first hour.

Keep the lights on. Obviously, this is difficult if your watching in a shared family space, but this stream is going to run late through the night for a lot of people. Watching a livestream in the dark is going to make you feel much sleepier than if you keep the room nice and bright.

Eat a good breakfast/lunch/dinner before hand. It’s likely going to be difficult to have a proper meal during the stream, so fill up your energy as much as you can.

Know your limits. Some people just can’t watch a 12 hour livestream. That’s not something to be ashamed of. It’s a huge push and achievement to get through one, so if your body is telling you to quit and continued watching makes you miserable, it’s okay to tap out. This goes especially for people in Non-US time zones. All nighters are no joke, and it won’t be fun if you are hurting yourself to watch this.

I hope these tips help, and if anyone else has personal tips, feel free to add on. If you make it through the stream, congratulations! If you can’t, I can add you to a list of people that I plan to send a recording of the stream to. I just want everyone in this community, especially the younger audience, to have fun and stay safe.

Okay so I did some research, very basic research, on the user base of tumblr and how many of us there are.

There are at least 300 million unique visitors worldwide on this site. Over 500 million blogs.

Listen. Tumblr is $30 million in debt. This is Super easy for us to solve.

If each user gifts one blog crabs, which costs slightly over $3, that would be roughly $600 million at least. Far more than enough to get Tumblr out of the red zone.

If we want tumblr to stay afloat and not change something as integral about their operating system, we need to show them they can be profitable without reducing themselves to common social media sites. What we have here is special. It is different. We are the social media site people run to when theirs collapses and for good reason.

If we want this to work, we have to make it work. We can even make it into a game. Just how long can we outlast the other social media sites?
