@ask-glittershell wanted a Snails, have a Snails~ For the dress I went with a night theme cause I replaced the hearts I was originally going to do with stars and liked it~
Dear authors: you have to learn the difference between a bad boy and a bastard abuser.
Um, yes.
For those of you who are confused:
Bad boy: probably poor, doesn’t follow rules because he thinks they are harmful or stifling (”I can’t sit there all day when teachers don’t give a shit if I learn or not”), outbursts are at injustices, fights to defend (”leave them alone/you’re hurting this place leave!”)
Bastard abuser: probably middle class or higher, doesn’t follow rules because he think’s he’s above them (”school is a waste of time I can learn what I need to from books”), outbursts are about things not going the way he wants them, fights to prove superiority or lay claim (”stay off my turf/away from my girl!”)
Bad boy: Bender from The Breakfast Club. Bastard abuser: Christian Grey from 50 Shades.
Bad boy: chaotic good Bastard abuser: neutral evil.
How many times before Finding Dory was an octopus’s camouflaging even portrayed in pop culture at all?? I’m sure it’s happened, but of the thousands of octopuses I’ve probably seen in cartoons, movies and games I’m drawing a blank. It’s at least extremely rare, and that’s so absurd considering how amazing those abilities really are. Hank’s are only barely exaggerated.
Whenever a cartoon calls for an animal that can turn almost magically invisible, they go for a chameleon, which can do absolutely no such thing. Up to now we have been practically hiding from children how incredible cephalopods are and I’m so happy this is such a major part of a movie almost every kid is going to see now.
I would pay top dollar for a comprehensive, source-supported explanation of how Superwholock vanished.
Like……..that was the core of tumblr in 2013. Its tainted life-blood. Its fetid royal palace. Destiel this and Johnlock that. Tardis-in-the-impala-at-221B URLS. Bendydoot Cucumberpatch and long analytical debates of which doctor is best doctor
What caused the end? What destroyed it? What series of events sunk this fortress? I’m so. So curious. This was so much of what tumblr was. So unavoidable. It’s cultural history. I want. to know.
So I’m not completely sure but I think you can pinpoint the disappearance to the month following Dashcon. Like, the entire year prior, things were going fucking insane; The DW 50th anniversary, Sherlock returned after a hiatus, Dean became a demon or something I don’t remember. Point is, the fans were worse than ever.
And then Dashcon happened: All those people got together for a nightmarish event in the ball pit (for anyone who doesn’t know what Dashcon was, look it up and read any of the news articles about it. I promise, you will not be disappointed).
Now, I wasn’t too active on tumblr at that point because of school reasons, but I remember finding out that the new season of Supernatural had aired on TV, and I saw NOTHING about it on tumblr. Not a single post on my dash. It was a miracle, but I was so confused. How had the whole fandom just vanished like that? I still don’t know for sure, but it was very shortly after the Dashcon incident.
Then Doctor Who returned. New doctor and a new companion. Same scenario. Nobody said anything online. I was still big into DW so that was kind of a bummer but it was still astounding.
I went back online more readily and started realizing that fandoms, as I had known them, were essentially dead after that summer. It was like everybody simultaneously realized how toxic those communities were after they all got together in person and proved themselves to be a disgusting bunch.
It was the fastest and most unsettling jump in internet culture I’d ever seen. Overnight it became an embarrassment to admit that you were in a popular fandom. All because of fucking
“Superwholock died as a result of Dashcon” is the most fascinating theory I’ve heard in a while amazing
(And you know, seasonal rot and kids getting older and all that but s t i l l)
I always assumed it was because the fans finally matured and realized that story and characters is more important than a pretty face.
and then romeo-kun and juliet-chan inevitably committed the seppuku
sugoi. what light through the window comes, desu? it is the east, and my waifu is the sun.
did my kokoro doki till now? forswear it, sight! for i ne’er saw true kawaii till this night.
o romeo-kun, romeo-kun, doushite art thou, romeo-kun? deny thy otou-san and refuse thy namae, or, if thou ja nai, but be sworn my daisuki, and i’ll no longer be a capulet-sama.
