GUYS GUYS GUYS THE BOTS ARE GETTING SMARTER

THEY'RE GETTING SMARTER I JUST GOT ONE THAT ACTUALLY HAD A POST

(i mean it was a p0rn post so i knew it was a bot but abyways)

THE BOTS ARE GETTING SMARTER

For any relocated TikTok users

you can say sex and kill its fine

If you don't have a profile picture people will assume you're a bot

theres barely an algorithm, if you want to see cool shit reblog things instead of just liking them

follower count doesnt matter

tumblr fame gets you one thing and it is Yelled At

no one knows what the fuck the nsfw policy is

block anyone that annoys you even a little bit

And most importantly:

post cringe

Debated making this, but oh well, here we are…

I rewatched the Loki series.

Going to add here quickly that I have been a fan of Loki since 2012/2013, and I personally relate to his character for a multitude of reasons.

Now, I enjoy the series, but I wish they made it more character focused than they had. I do feel like they prioritised story in terms of making it fit the next phase over exploring and expanding on Loki’s character to some degree (a lot of it was surface level).

For example, I would’ve loved to have seen:

Exploring Loki’s Jotun heritage, even if it was a variant of him in the void that embraced it, dropped his aesir form, a conversation between Loki and his Jotun variant as they explain why they chose to embrace it, giving a different view to maybe how our Loki sees himself/the Jotuns. If ‘What If’ could have a frost giant Loki variant, why couldn’t the show?

Expanding upon what happened to Loki during that year after his fall from the Bifrost. The reason for this is self explanatory really, it would add more lore/depth to his experiences/actions during the Avengers. Maybe address the trauma he has from it.

Loki fighting with his so-called ‘desire’ for a throne more. By this I mean, I felt he flipped pretty quickly from his plan to overthrow the time keepers to just following along with Sylvie - which is fine, but I kinda thought there would be more push back from him. I get it was a life or death situation and Loki’s whole thing is ‘survival’, but it would’ve added to their dynamic and the fact the writers clearly wanted to push how Sylvie was different to other Loki’s.

Exploring Sylvie’s backstory more. It really did feel like it was an afterthought, which is a shame. I suppose they left it ambiguous for certain reasons, but I think they should’ve had more flashback scenes of what Sylvie could remember. I think it would’ve helped people understand and relate to her more. (I do love her though).

Actually showed Loki’s gender fluidity & shapeshifting ability more. Again, self explanatory really & important to his character, plus the whole implied only ‘woman variant’ thing with Sylvie should’ve not been a thing, like at all.

They should’ve given Loki more time to process everything. This show really should’ve had 8 episodes each season, I get that’s not the writers fault, likely Disney/marvel’s doing. Perhaps then the shift in his character wouldn’t have felt so jarring, especially considering he’s 2012 Loki. I do agree they wrote him as if he was Ragnarok!Loki, and that’s not necessarily a bad thing, but it just felt jarring considering the last we saw of this Loki was Avengers. But then I could also argue that maybe he thought ‘what’s the point of it’ because the TVA know everything about him, but I digress.

Used Sylvie more in S2. It did feel like they didn’t quite know what to do with her, her and Loki clearly just needed to sit and discuss the citadel fight, but the closest thing we got is in EP3 where Sylvie says ‘this is all rather familiar, isn’t it?’, referencing their different/opposing opinions on the TVA/He Who Remains. And also maybe the pie room scene, but it’s very vague/not directly addressed.

Explored the fact that Mobius is not a good guy more. Because, he isn’t. And that’s okay. To me, the whole point of the show is based on Loki’s quote of ‘no one good is ever truly good, and no one bad is ever truly bad’, and whilst they do reference Mobius’ own morally grey actions/traits, they don’t particularly make it clear and most just see him as this ‘happy go lucky old man who likes pie and loves Loki variants’. In fact, I actually really liked the scene where Sylvie confronts him - which is a very unpopular opinion to have it seems, lol.

Delved into the psychology of Loki further than surface level/what we already know about him. Yes, we know he’s the God of Mischief. Yes, we know he isn’t evil. Yes, we know he is redeemable. Yes, we know he’s cunning, manipulative and selfish. We get that he projects this ‘illusion’ of himself, but it was only really mentioned in S1 EP1, maybe slightly EP2, before it’s never really mentioned again. I suppose S2 does this to a degree with the bar scene and EP5 of S1 in the time cell with Sif - also I think they tried to take the narcissist angle from the pov that it’s because of his low self-esteem as to why he needs validation and it’s a defence mechanism, but they didn’t particularly make that clear and made it seem like he just thinks highly of himself.

I know it seems like I have a lot of issues with the show, and I do, but I still enjoyed it. It’s okay to be critical of a piece of media and still enjoy it.

I do prefer S2 to S1, mostly because I prefer the direction they took it in and whilst I, of course, wanted better for Loki, I can’t deny S2 EP6 is a stunning finale. I sobbed so hard during the ending and still feel the grief that I actually lost someone I knew personally. But I also have hope that this means Loki is now a main player in the next phase (am I delusional? Maybe).

I enjoyed the dynamics, the back and forth/chemistry, the story was interesting, the set & costume design, the acting, the directing/colour grading, the music (Natalie Holt, you are genius), the emotions, the fun, the characters…

So this is not a hate post by any means, I will once again state, I enjoyed the show. But, I do have issues with it, and that’s okay too.

Please, dni if you’re just going to be argumentative or confrontational. I also don’t want to hear that just because I enjoyed the show that I’m ‘not a real fan’ lmao. I’m sorry, but I’ve been a Loki stan for over a decade, and I will not have someone tell me I’m not a real fan because of a piece of fictional media. Also, please do not mention anything regarding ships on this post, I do not care for it because it always ends up in arguments and I am a multishipper so I don’t tend to fight for any side. Thank you! :) /gen

Hi! Can you explain waiting rooms please? Like how to script them, what they do, etc

Hello friend!! I sure can ☺️ (long post incoming)

What is a Waiting Room?

A waiting room (or WR) is a (non-mandatory) place that you can script to shift to and it’s a sort of in between for your CR and DR. You usually shift to your WR to kind of collect your thoughts and get ready to fully enter your DR. A lot of times your WR is a simple and rather empty room that just has you in it. (It can include whatever you want I’m just giving an idea)  And a lot of people have a door in their waiting room that they can open and step into their DR “portal”

Why do people use Waiting Rooms? 

As mentioned above, WR are a space to calm down and “process” your shifting before continuing into your DR. It helps people not feel so startled by just opening their eyes and being DIRECTLY in the action of their DR. Also, for some people, visualizing a single room is a lot easier than your whole DR world.

How do you script a Waiting Room?

I mention this a lot (but I know newer shifters don’t always know this) but scripting is NOT necessary to shift. It is a helpful tool to organize your thoughts, just like methods are, but you do not 100% need one in order to shift. If you do still want to write a script for your WR, it can be whatever you want! It could be simple bullet points with description of the room, it could be a single paragraph, it could be a drawing, ANYTHING!  Whatever helps you visualize or however you like to set up your script is what you should do!

Thanks for the ask and I hope this helps!! If you have any other questions, send them my way!!! 

Why are reblogs more important than likes on tumblr

Tumblr has always had a problem with the like to reblog ratio but ever since other media's users came over to this site, it's only gotten worse and now that tik tok's about to be banned in the US, this might only become more visible with those users potentially looking for a new fandom space, or a website in general.

examples: (three old posts, three new posts)

Firstly, what are reblogs? A reblog is when someone uses the Reblog button to put a post on their blog. It adds to the notes and is still linked to the op (original poster). How do reblogs differ from reposts?

What do reblogs do? Reblogs are one of the main ways of how this site shows its posts. Tumblr has no agorhitm which means that everything you see is user curated. -they go on the dash (dashboard) of those who follow you -they let you organise the posts on your blog(s) via tags -they can be viewed in your blog's archive as well as the archives of everyone who reblogs the post (if they have their archives on) -they let you add to the post you're reblogging -they remain unaffected regardless of whether the op edits or deletes their original post What are likes and what they do/don't do? Likes on tumblr work very similarly to likes on other social media except they don't add to the algorhitm (because there is none). It's a way to let the op/reblogger know that you like their post/tags, or sometimes, you'll see people liking their own posts that have additions because they want to show that they viewed said addition and liked it or they simply like the tags. And yes, we do like our own posts even if there are no additions, at least I do, they're nice. This is fine and you shouldn't shame people for it.

-the like section doesn't have an archive so unless you move your likes to a side blog (like I have) and make them into reblogs, you will have to scroll...a lot...if you want to browse them -the post you liked changes as soon as the op, or the blog you liked the post on if you didn't like the op's version directly, edits or deletes the post -likes can sometimes appear on your dash (though rarely) when a person you follow likes something (you will see this recommended as liked by -url-) or you might get a based on your likes post (again, not very common)

Likes do not help to boost/make the post more visible. They're simply just a way to communicate. The site stays alive with reblogs and original posts.
