Concept: The VC fandom on Tumblr writes a new VC Companion collectively
#most of it is just whether marius is mostly into red velvet jeans or jeggings
CORDUROYS.
You think he’s a cord kinda guy huh?
Interesting
But consider this then. Socks in sandals?
P sure romans wore socks in their sandals when cold soooo
I know y’all can’t behave and this devolved into trolling after 3 minutes BUT HONESTLY LEGIT I would love it if we could get one of the Pop Culture & Philosophy books published with Tumblr-Quality Meta. That would be good. Let’s do that.
I am overcome with the idea of Marius wearing red velvet short pants (a la Angus Young) and mandals and socks 😂.
Oh my actual god
^I am so on board for this!
Marius wpuld rock every toga-party and you know it.
Omg raph. I am so glad marius’ slanket is a thing now.
This blog did not and will not send requests for bitcoin donations.
There seems to be a virus or some sort of malware going around causing blogs to “send out” chat messages to blogs that they follow asking for help with the purchase of certain items through donations of seemingly small amounts using bitcoin and adds a link to the message.
The message goes as following (at least the first message I got went like this): “Hi there buddy. I need help, I’m trying to buy a laptop and I can’t afford it. I’m about 0.36$ short, and I’d really appreciate if you could help me and transfer some money to me via bitcoin using this *link*.”
The small details in the message seems to have a few variations with the greeting, amount and purchased item showing up in different variations from formal to friendly, from 0.016 to 2$ and from a phone case to a laptop among others.
The blogs that are affected send out the messages to blogs that they follow for a long time mostly, so you are most likely to receive the message from a long time, active follower whose name you might recognize or a mutual etc. The blogs that are affected are not spam bots but actual active followers who follow the recipient for months or years and most likely the blogger who “sent” the message is unaware of the message being sent.
DO NOT OPEN THE LINK.
Opening up the link will cause the virus to spread even more and infect your computer/mobile with any sort of malware.
If you have received a message of that sort from this blog please know that it was not sent by me or within my control and ignore/delete the message without clicking the link.
I just got this thing on another blog FIVE MINUTES AGO,
I’ve had 100 of these this morning. I’m afraid I’ll be closing my IMs to mutuals for a while because I already can’t handle the amount of mail I get without this. Please check your IMs, change your passwords, turn on two-factor-authentication (I know it seems like a pain in the ass but if it’s an option, always do it) and run your antivirus and anti malware.
Malwarebytes is a good, free (with paid upgrade available) anitmalware software for Windows, and is now available for Mac and Android as well, just in case you need a recommendation. The version on my phone has been screaming at me all morning every time I try to open tumblr. Something ain’t right fam, protect yourselves and your friends.
those posts criticizing common writing patterns in fanfiction are so fucking harmful and they ruined me
so like yknow what??? People tell you to avoid “smirk” and “chuckle” as descriptors because no one does those things (???) but then when I need to use those words I have a ten minute crisis about how I’m a shitty writer. So heres my unwarranted writing advice: If you want your characters to smirk and chuckle fucking let them and don’t let anyone tell you that no one smirks or chuckles because I do both on a daily basis whenever I tell a shitty pun, bye
Edgy fanfiction critics can eat my entire ass.
Seriously all this. All those posts and people who decide to ‘give me advice’ on how to write make me want to write 1000% less than I already do.
This post is uhhhh bad because criticism is important and helps you grow as a writer?? However, I do agree with OP that those common writing mistakes posts are not great.
Not because they’re “fucking harmful” to you by giving general advice, but because they fall into the same pit as bad grade school teachers by giving absolute advice. Fact of the matter is, all of the advice those posts give is useful, but NONE of it is true in absolutely every circumstance. All of it has to be taken with a grain of salt, but it’s never framed that way.
It’s important to know rules and conventions when you write but it’s equally important to know when to break them. I remember my sister getting a C for a writing assignment in school because she had the sense to know that a hillbilly character would not speak in “proper English” but her 50-year-old teacher did not.
So yes, criticism can be stupid and shitty and you shouldn’t always listen to it (even if you’re 10). But um… no, you are not victimized by people online sharing writers tips’. Read the tips, absorb them, and then apply them only where they are useful. OP already had the sense to do that, apparently they were just really salty about having to do so.
Then I want to say to all my friends on here, that I appreciate and love everyone. I’ve met some great people on here and I won’t forget that, nor do I wish to lose anyone because they cannot afford to get on here; however – while we still have the chance: FIGHT.
Until the votes have been cast, we still have a say. All we need is one ‘no’.
Don’t stop, don’t lose hope and don’t sit on your arse and wait for ‘someone else’ to do the nagging for you.
It’s okay to lose your hope and spark, as long as you get back up and make sure you rise with the whole fucking fire.
If Net Neutraily is gone for good.
I’ll try to find you again one day if I’m given the chance.
