Wough. Secretly Dating Klance

I can feel the tension...👀🫦

Keith fell first and I can prove it.

Lance obviously deals with insecurity and his place on the team, especially being the middle child in a big family. He always had to fight for attention, and he seeks positive reinforcement from people. So when Keith starts depending on him to co-lead Voltron, Lance feels *a certain way* about it. And Keith is like easily impressed with Lance and his ability to strategize and calm a situation, and likes to tell Lance these things.

But on the other side of that; Keith, who has been bounced around from foster home to foster home and is used to people not really having time to deal with him, deals with his insecurities by isolating himself. Like with Shiro its better, but there is still an assigned role there that Keith is aware of. 

Enter Lance who refuses to leave Keith alone, no matter how much Keith walks away from him. Yeah he makes fun of his mullet and being “emo”, and Keith does indeed hate it, but it becomes such a constant in his life that Keith….likes it? Like its the first consistent thing he has. 

Even when the teasing becomes more playful. Keith always knows when to expect a “Hey there, Mullet.” or “Easy there, Black Parade”, and its nice to have that constant. 

So yeah, Keith falls first. 

nick put his heart and SOUL into henry like seeing so much more Henry pov in the movie…his facial expressions were just so devastating and he really played to the fact that Henry is such a deeply emotional person with so much fear and love to give and he encompasses all of that SO WELL I could scream about it forever

anyway, biorender is the best thing to ever happen to biologists since we found out we could manipulate peas

it’s a web program with like over 20k pre-made science icons you can use to make professional diagrams in minutes (or hours if you dick around a lot like yours truly. don’t mind that second thumbnail. it’s apparently supposed to be a mouse tumor but now it’s my friend). 

GONE are the days when we have to individually make a phospholipid by hand on powerpoint and then copy+paste until we threw up

or use lame speech bubbles for cells

just LOOK at all these amazing illustrations the company and/or users have created:

(lol way better than mine but that’s besides the point) go check them out!

what if we locked eyes across a dance floor full of people getting low to get low

On losing motivation

I feel like I need to make this post on losing motivation, because a lot of the time, on here, it seems that when people lose motivation to study, they try and just force and bully themselves into being motivated. That’s not a good method, studying the things you love should be joyful, not a horrendous chore. And motivation via negativa only leads to less motivation long term, where as motivation via positiva leads to a strengthened sense of being able to overcome obstacles and more motivation long term. 

If you are losing motivation, usually there is some other reason for it. You are a whole person, not just a shard of academic intellectualism, and the other elements of your being need to be taken care of. We sometimes forget that. So if you have noticed your motivation is slipping, check in with yourself:

Consent is a beautiful thing.

Remember Alex hasn't been with a man so intimately. Henry is his Northstar here. Henry let's Alex learn his body and needs in the most subtle ways. He let's Alex know that he is ready with that subtle press of the hand.

Alex's eyes don't leave Henry's even for a second . He doesn't know what Henry is comfortable with. He waits for Henry to let him know he can proceed further. Henry gives him the slightest of nods and then and only then does Alex proceeds.

They didn't leave out any sexual dynamic in these scenes. I'm so fucking glad we got this lovemaking scene.

okay moment of appreciation for tzp bc the minute he turned and said “hey.” in that limo w the little pout I INSTANTLY knew that man was perfect he is such a cutie patootie i just wanna squeeze him

Very Brief Guide to [tumblr], for Reddit refugees

Shit You Must Do Right Fucking Now:

Change your profile picture, blog header, and title to something other than the defaults. Do it right now. You will be mistaken for a bot otherwise, and blocked.

Go into Settings -> Dashboard, scroll down to Preferences, and turn off the options in the picture. This will get rid of most of the algorithmic stuff.

Turn off Tumblr Live. You have to snooze it once every 7 days for some stupid reason. It's hosted through another company and will steal your data if you use it.

Go to your blog settings (under the little person menu) and turn off these two settings:

Turn off infinite scroll (lags the site) and turn on timestamps on posts, in the same menu as Preferences.

Basic Features of the Site:

Reblogs drive the entire site. If you'd upvote something on Reddit, you'd reblog it on Tumblr. You can add text, images, or tags to a reblog, but you're not required to.

The dashboard is the equivalent to your Reddit feed, and contains the posts of all the people you follow, with the newest at the top

You can send an ask to someone, and it'll appear in their askbox for them to answer. You can receive them too, or turn off the settings if you don't want.

Tags aren't actually used for finding stuff (search function is dogshit), but are more for categorizing. People also talk in tags. Because Tumblr is weird, you can't use quotation marks (") or commas in them without fucking it up

You can filter both tags and phrases under Account Settings; doing this will put a filter over a post that contains them, which you'll have to click through to see the post itself. Useful for avoiding hate speech or blocking out annoying stuff

You can make polls in posts. Here's one now.

Likes are useless. They literally do fuck-all except send a notification to the OP.

Stuff Tumblr Does That Other Sites Don't:

Very old posts (I'm talking from like 2012) often circulate on this site. There's no such thing as a post being "too old" to reblog

Blocking is highly encouraged; you can block someone for any reason. Even for just being annoying.

If you and someone else are following each other, you are mutuals. Mutuals are fucking awesome and are treasured like friends. Mutuals are a thing on other sites but Tumblr treats em differently.

You can screenshot someone's tags if you like them and add them to a reblog. This is called "peer review"

Sometimes someone will find a blog and go through it and like/reblog a bunch of posts. This is totally fine and not "creepy" like it is seen as on other sites.

Tumblr jokes often rely on Continuing The Bit and a "yes, and?" attitude. Goncharov is probably the best example of this.

We are fucking infested with bots. They will either have totally blank profiles or be filled with porn. Block and report on sight.

Censorship is pretty lax here. I can say "I want to brutally stab Elon Musk to death and watch him bleed out in front of a crowd" and nobody gives a shit.

General Etiquette:

Don't try to do epic clapbacks here, you'll probably just get laughed at or blocked. If someone is bugging you or spouting bigoted bullshit, block them.

Reblog art!!! Artists often struggle to gain traction on here; reblogging will give them a boost.

Not every reblog needs a comment or tag in it

You can go all out with tagging your stuff to organize it, or you can just leave it all blank. Someone might ask "hey, can you tag these posts as [x]?" and you can decide if you want to do that or not. It's generally polite to oblige, but "no" is still reasonable.

Avoid discourse like the plague. Filter it, block people who start it, scroll past it when you see it. Just don't get involved in it. Ever.

Don't put fandom tags or jokes on someone's posts about serious matters or personal shit

You're responsible for curating your own dashboard; if you complain about constantly seeing stuff you don't like, that's probably on you. Don't be afraid to unfollow.

Follower count doesn't matter much here and you don't have to make yours known if you don't want to.

Reblog, don't repost. Reblogging keeps the credit and doesn't "steal" engagement like Twitter retweets.

If someone likes something a LOT, they might reblog it like 30 times in a row. This is normal

Having a post blow up is actually kinda a bad thing, since it floods your notifications. There's a sort of in-joke about how having a big post is awful and people jokingly try to stop their own posts from blowing up, often in vain.

Tips:

Get XKit Rewritten if you're on desktop, it's a really helpful extension

In the little drop-down menu next to the 'Post now' button you can either save a draft, schedule a post, or add it to your queue. The queue lets you post things in order at a certain interval, which you can change. It's good for spreading stuff out over time.

You can use Shift+R to quickly reblog stuff and Shift+Q to queue!

Filter your notifications under Activity - you can also see some neat graphs

Find each other! If you want your old Reddit communities to stick together, seek out other refugees and follow them.

Have fun on [tumblr], everyone!
