I am new and I have never just randomly reblogged or shared things I see and like. I usually just leave a like? So this is gonna take some getting used to haha
yknow ever since people realized tumblr isnt dead and have decided to flock here from twitter and tiktok ive seen a huge influx of people in fandom spaces who dont reblog anything. at all.
like, i used to have an art blog with 340 followers. not a ton but not a small amount either given how this website works with creators. and in my experience back then even the ones who only left likes still reblogged other things or at least posted their own stuff. literally the only empty blogs were clearly bots.
but on this New art blog, i've had so many people with fandom-specific headers and icons with actual usernames as urls and some kind of title or description, but have. Nothing. no posts. all they do is like things. and it's always public, too. their following list and their likes list.
and honestly all it makes me think is that these people are New and also don't know how tumblr works. how likes don't give exposure. not even in a "oh, i know it doesn't give exposure, but i'm still going to reblog anyways" way, but in a genuine honest to god straight up doesn't realize tumblr likes don't work like twitter's.
PLEASE please if you're from tiktok or twitter or whatever please reblog people's art both fandom and original if you like it!! and maybe actually pad out your blog's content in some way so people won't potentially see you as a bot and block you.
REBLOG ARTIST'S WORK. THIS IS THE ONLY WAY THEY GET ANY ATTENTION ON THIS WEBSITE OH MY GOD. PLEASE. I BEG of you
I just met a Korean guy in a game and he asked me where I'm from. I told him I'm from the US and he responded to that with "I like hamburgers"
"But won't children be confused by all the LGBT-"
Yesterday I saw a mother with a baby carriage, being followed by a girl of about 4-6 years old on a bicycle. The kid started ringing her bike bell like RING RING RING RING RING RING RING, and the mother turned to look behind them to see whether they were being followed by a cyclist who desperately needs to pass them for the sake of everyone's safety.
And the little girl - who just rang the goddamn bell herself 5 seconds ago - also turned to look.
Kids are confused by everything at all times. They don't know jack shit. About anything.
I crave chaos
Every time 'Adrien' show up doing something suspicious in spoilers and people Iimmediately accuse Felix
Felix, just chiling in London:
I think a running theme in this season of Miraculous Ladybug is that everyone is making mistakes. Obviously the undertone for the season is trust and lies (the first 2 episodes). But in this season all those misguided lies and half truths are going to pile up into some big grand event. And I can't wait to see it all unfold. Nobody is "right" in this season. There's a lot going on that should really not be. Ladybug should be telling her partner about all the new developments. Chat Noir should be voicing his concerns with Ladybug. Alya shouldn't have gone behind Marinette's back to tell her boyfriend after Mari asked her to keep it a secret. Nino shouldn't have outed his and his girlfriend's hero identities to Adrien. And Luka shouldn't have lied to Ladybug. We're watching two cars driving towards each other at full speed, just waiting for the crash.
One take that I keep seeing on Wishmaker is that Luka did his job and made the right decision and was being selfless.
No. He f***ing lied.
Luka had 2 jobs. Reset time if Ladybug and/or Chat noir got hit. And figure out how to stop Wishmaker.
Luka had time to see Ladybug and Chat noir get hit. He had a full 5 seconds use the bracelet instead of staring like a goldfish. WE KNOW it takes a bit before the magic kicks in. That is Luka's window.
Now in the case of Ladybug. You could argue he was mortified he accidentally deflected the blast at her. Maybe not really knowing how much time he had. Fair. Give him the first one because he didnt know how fact acting it was and likely was stunned by his actions.
But he has no excuse for Chat noir. As soon as he saw him get hit. He should have known to close his eyes and reset immediately.
Afterward, he tells Ladybug that her and Chat noir's identities are safe. Now in this instance. This is not a lie. He is not in anyway letting on that he knows. And he is saying the truth.
But then she asks before leaving if it was safe even from him.
This is where he ACTIVELY deceives her. She asked him if he knew. Her putting trust in him to tell her honestly and he lied.
This is a flaw, a selfish lie. This is something that should not be commended. But it is something that makes him interesting as a character.
I think that him making a call like this would be interesting, it should have some repercussions. But I hate how people glorify it as some grand choice and that what he did wasnt wrong . If he was being selfless he would have ADMITTED he saw. He would accept the failure and even if Marinette was mad at him for it.
This action is wrong and selfish. Stop being like
"Oh ItS cAuSe He CaReS aBoUt HeR fEeLiNgS."
No, if anything he would know how CRUCIAL this secret was. Considering how she couldnt tell him. The fact that he knows without her KNOWLEDGE AND ACTIVELY lied to her about knowing when asked. He is violating her trust.
Its a selfish action, it makes him flawed. Makes him more relatable. Simply accept that.
It makes me hopeful they do something with this. Perhaps have it come to bite him in the butt.
so painful having to see chronobug stare at EVERY CHOICE past her made, RECENT past her made, agreeing that every single one of them had to be made, and hating each one just as much anyway, hating HERSELF just as much……..

WHEEZING
whoever does the trailers for gloob is just running loose in the miraculous studio like a rat and thomas can’t catch them
I actually have 2 stories about this at the same place!!! The first one happened to my roommate, who I worked at the same place with.
We worked at a charity retail store and we were both placed in the clothing department. Which meant all we did was go through giant bins of donated clothes and hung up what could be sold. Really really simple. Not a single customer ever saw us as we worked in the back.
My roommate had a sprained ankle. Also note: we lived down the street and down a hill from the store. We didn't have cars. We walked to and from work from 7 am to 3 pm. My roommate was using a stool to sit on and hang clothes. She got dirty looks from coworkers the entire time and every single time she left to use the restroom or take her breaks or whatever, they'd HIDE her stool!
The second story actually happened to me. I started working there shortly after that so I knew how they felt about sitting at work. But I did not care. We walked to and from work every day and some days we had to make grocery trips, which consisted of us bringing our own bags and filling them with groceries, paying, and lugging the 10 large bags home between the 2 of us. We did that in snow and rain. We didn't have a choice. So I REALLY did not care that my coworkers didn't like that I felt like sitting. I didn't sit my entire shift. I only sat about an hour or two before my shift ended so I could give my feet a break before I had to walk home or get groceries etc. But the LOOKS I got!!! My god!!! They kept taking my stool too whenever I walked away, but I'd just grab another one that wasn't being used.
I have one more story regarding sitting at work in a retail setting. This is a different job. I replaced an elderly woman at a crafts store as she had fallen ill and I think needed surgery. She was recovering for months but I kept hearing stories about her from coworkers. So when I heard she was finally coming back I was excited to meet this legendary woman. When she got back we were both assigned as the cashiers for our shift together and she sat behind the counter in a stool. You know what???? I didn't question it!!! I was fine with her sitting!! I wanted to sit! I wouldn't have cared if she was young and had no health issues and still chose to sit for her shift! She still did the work.
Now for the scary part, because whenever I think of this lady I always think of this moment. We had radios and earpieces at this job for quick and efficient communication. We had a line and we were both taking care of customers. All of a sudden I hear her say over the radio "I'm not feeling well. I think I'm going to pass out." It honestly took me 10 seconds to register what she even said. But as soon as it registered, I stopped what I was doing and looked over at her to see her falling out of her stool, eyes rolled back, falling backwards over herself. I had never experienced this before! Wth??? My body started moving and I started yelling frantically over the radio and a customer called the ambulance. Everything both felt like slow motion but also very fast. She's fine!!! She came to a few minutes later. She decided to retire after that and she stopped working.
Anyway, those are my stories about work and chairs.
“Its lazy for cashiers to sit down
And it’s weird to care. Work shouldn’t be an endurance test. Let me sit. We’re not doing a survivor challenge. You don’t think people can sit down and work at the same time? You’re gonna be real mad when you find out what an office is.”
Something I just realized about DanDaDan. In most shows, the main group usually grows because the original team welcomes the new member. Like when Team Avatar brought in Toph Beifong or whenever Luffy asked someone to join the Straw Hats.
In DanDaDan, literally no one wants to be there and they only became friends after being forced to spend time with each other. What I mean is:
1) Okarun and Momo hated each other in the beginning.
2) Aira was a villain at first. Then when she mellowed out, Momo and Okarun were adamant that she not join their team. Aira only stayed because she’s so delusional that she declared herself team leader. Momo and Okarun then just kinda went, “Well, fuck, she’s not going anywhere so welcome aboard, I guess.”
3) Jiji annoyed the fuck out of everyone in the beginning, especially Okarun since he saw him as a rival for Momo’s affection. This man had to put in the work to get on Okarun’s good side. And then there’s Momo who, even though they were childhood friends, was still annoyed by him.
4) Vamola literally got dropkicked by Momo when they first met.
5) Kinta Sakata forced his way into the group. Even the characters were like, “Who the fuck is this guy?” And when the group did get to know him, they instantly wanted to kick him out.
6) Rin Sawaki’s first significant moment was getting into a public argument with Momo. She also weirded Okarun out with her vampire/dungeon fetish fantasy.
It’s like the manga version of Community, where none of the characters seem to get along but they’re somehow friends. It’s like they show love by getting on each other’s nerves.
TL;DR;
Most shows: “Welcome to the team, new guy!”
DanDaDan: “Well we can’t get rid of you so…see you tomorrow, I guess.”
