I was in a mall with my friend and then suddenly his watch started beeping and I asked him why he had an alarm set for 3:00 and he told me that it was because it was Wendy’s time. Immediately after, we found a Wendy’s and when we walked in, all the employees were chanting “Wendy’s time” and it sure was something.
sometimes i worry about the people on this website and their weird experiences and then i notice their username
sometimes i worry about my willingness to shrug off stories like that like “eh it’s wendy’s, weird shit happens there”
I sincerely apologize for spamming you all with the Hamilton fanfic controversy, but it’s really giving me so much strength. It’s been a while since we’ve had the kind of scandal that only Tumblr can provide (like the person who robbed graves; the person who mailed their toe to another person so they could make a necklace of it; etc). This scandal is just so fucking good, you know? White American college girl pretends to be a nonbinary Chinese-Pakistani Muslim human-trafficking survivor AND their American WOC wife and they live in India??? And they suffered a miscarriage? And they both have HIV? All so she can scam people out of money and amass kudos on Archive of Our Own for her Hamilton HIV fanfic? And she does this for YEARS? And the person who uncovered it is doing it for revenge because the fake-HIV-fanfic writer made them delete a fanfic about Lin-Manuel Miranda and Thomas Jefferson as cannibal mermaids performing oral sex and unironically accused them of gentrifying cannibalism??? I mean, this shit is fucking gold.

i’m going to rip off someone’s arms and legs next time i see someone go
“omg that’s like blahblahblah in homestuck!11! they’re like exactly the same tehehe!1121!1”
NO, FUCK YOU.
GO DIE.
Doesn’t this post remind you of Karkat? It reminds me of Karkat.
I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again: one of the reasons Homestuck was so popular and omnipresent (and subsequently overloaded everyone’s dashes) was Andrew Hussie’s uncanny ability to make significant symbols out of (or even mythologize) SO MANY random everyday things.
I totally get why non-fans found it annoying. Homestuck was (is!) basically 1000 semi-incomprehensible in-jokes. On the other hand, it’s a FASCINATING example of effective world-building and symbol transformation. Let’s call a spade a spade – but what’s a spade? What is the significance of a chainsaw, a bike horn, a broken sword, a cue ball, a cake? Consider: a pool table, a deck of cards, a computer program, a chess board. Would you like to play a game? The list goes on and on.
Yes! Homestuck tied the repeating nature of story-telling and coming of age myths to meme culture. Because myths ARE memes. Memes have existed forever. And they’re everywhere.
OP fucking deactivated
well, if you’re on tumblr and the mere mention of a popular fandom gives you a rage aneurysm, that’s your only recourse, isn’t it
i really love when people on tumblr make a purposefully misspelled and idiotic post to annoy asshole “intellectuals” and respond to their corrections with increasingly inane comments, because it makes me imagine diogenes of sinope going to one of plato’s lectures and calling him ‘sweatie :)’
diogenes, holding up a plucked chicken: finally found me a man 🙂 lol!
plato: that’s a chicken.
diogenes: ummmm but sweatie you said a man is a featherless biped
plato: that’s not what i meant-
diogenes: but this is a biped? with no feathers? lol
plato: FINE. man is a featherless biped with broad, flat nails. now get rid of that chicken
diogenes, holding up a plucked chicken with fake nails glued to its feet: um, sweatie,
honestly my favorite new phenomenon is the haiku bot coming in at the end of super serious posts. it’s like watching a supervillain come to a crushing defeat and then getting run over by a roomba.
god is real but you can only see him behind the 7/11 at 3:34 am after you down 6 and a half 5 hour energys
this post and “I’m gonna take 1000 benadryl and fuck my shadow self” are really their own unique category of post and it’s my favorite category
Don’t forget about “self care is drinking two jack in the box coffees at 7 pm and gaining enhanced vision of the shadow people you often see in the corner of your eye”
Extremely handy if you follow a lot of people and hate missing anything good.

It’s rolling out this week on iOS and Android, and comes with this Help Center article.
Thanks! ✌️
I don’t have the option to turn it off yet, but chances are good that my dash is still affected. Chances are good that y’all have been affected. Whatever you do, keep checking your settings tab for the ability to TURN THIS OFF. Because we creators are gonna suffer from this.
————
There’s a chance that y’all might not have gotten this option yet, but i finally did. For the sake of all creators out there, check your general settings and look for this option. If you have it, TURN IT OFF. Don’t let some algorithm dictate what you see.
Don’t just like this. It needs to be spread so people know. Not only will your feed be out of chronological order, but creators who aren’t hella popular are suffering lack of exposure because of this. This is the one thing i WILL pressure to reblog.
Sup all, just checked again (02 NOV 17) and turned this fucker off on my blog.
just moving along like everyone else
