When I write a twist in a story, I don’t think in terms of “what will people never guess”, I think more like “How do I throw out just enough hints that some people start to catch on while the majority are still left guessing, but when the twist happens everyone can go back and see all the hints to it and realize it was planned all along”
Because frankly, people who change their twists just because some people figured it out are cowards who only care about shock value rather than the glorious art of suspense and mystery.
my advice, take some pages from the best twists in modern media. Like grunkle ford and pink diamond. They even had a red herring that fooled the fans for a while but still left enough clues for the real answer to be plausible

reasons I’ve seen people staying on tumblr:
- don’t understand twitter
- don’t understand twitter
- posts are in chronological order
- spite
- no other website has the same ambiance of gothic confusion and unrelatable obtuse content
- they are a hapless pornbot who knows not of the end coming for their quivering female presenting nipples
- mega spite
- like normal spite but you’re posting dick pics before The End
- Direct Contact with the Memes
- god, wht the fuk even is twitter
- they tried to leave but woke up again on tumblr like it’s the Groundhog’s Day movie
More reasons:
- tumblr allows us to post in any format medium we choose (image, long text post, sound, or video)
- shitposting just isn’t the fking same anywhere else
- like some sort of ancient slumbering giant this is where we have laid for many a century and Will Not Get Up Again (aka can’t be bothered)
- This is the only godforsaken place I can have an open online presence where my fucking family haven’t managed to find me so you can pry it from my cold, dead, nippleless hands
my tumblr dashboard is like a glass-bottom boat. I’ve curated it to the point that most of the time it’s smooth sailing, I see cool fish sometimes. And then sometimes, hundreds of meters down, I catch a tip of the fin of something really fucking weird, and then it’s gone again. Can’t get such a uniquely haunting experience like that anywhere else.
its the one site that cant effectively use out personal data for targeted advertisement.
