Dammit, where did my smut sense go? I had it right here like two days ago.
HAH I’ve got a reply button on this one! Does anybody else see it?
I actually made this post because I wanted to see what’d happen if I set my ‘who can reply’ permissions to ‘everybody’ and then made a new post. I figured that maybe you can’t reply to any post that was made before the reply feature was implemented. Which indeed seems to be the case.
I don’t have a reply button yet, but I may or may not be semi-obsessively refreshing tumblr in hopes that it’ll show up.
The older tumblr users keep talking about the “Mishapocalypse” and I still dont know what it was, and at this point it seems like one of those lovecraftian monsters that’s only spoken about by the village elders in hushed tones.
You know how in action movies the main guy is always like “Yeah I’ve got a contact here in Uzbekistan that owes me a favor” for no discernible reason but it occurred to me that like that’s basically what internet friends are like if I was in that situation I’d be like “Yeah don’t worry leave it to me. I’ve got a mutual in the Netherlands whose selfie I reblogged one time.”
No but seriously though. You know that trope where there’s some ordinary dude who gets pulled into a web of intrigue by some badass sexy lady and then ends up being even better at stuff than the lady? Imagine that reversed. Imagine some English Lit grad student with a huge fandom tumblr accidentally witnesses a crime and some badass spy dude shows up and is like “your life is in danger, you have to come with me, and now that you’re involved you might as well help us track down the bad guys” and it’s funny because she’s not at all an action type but then he’s like “well it looks like the bad guys are doing something devious in New Zealand, better set up camp in an abandoned mine shaft” and she’s all “No wait, I totally know someone there who always tags me in reblogs about my obscure OTPs, she would 1000% let us use her place, look I already fanmailed her” and then later he’s like “Oh, we found the bad guy camp in rural Sweden but there’s no time for backup to arrive from our base before their evil plan goes down!” and she’s like “Oh hold up, did you say Sweden, because I defs know someone from there and they always leave super supportive replies on my personal posts and they will definitely have my back, give me a sec to send them an ask” and the dude is like “HOW DO YOU HAVE A BETTER INTERNATIONAL NETWORK OF ALLIES THAN ME”
Okay, so I know we always get mad at the stupid updates that Tumblr usually adds, and not putting in the updates we want (like the replies). I’m not sure how long this thing has been up–probably since this update came about with the search of gifs? Idk? I’ve never seen this before, until I typed the word ‘dying’ down on the search bar for gifs (I was suppose to put dying from laughter, but this message popped in quickly).
I just wanna say that this has to be one of the most important add-on updates that tumblr has put. Kudos to tumblr for being aware of people’s struggle of having suicidal thoughts online.
And all my love to those who have been struggling and have sought help in this crisis. And to those who are still struggling with those thoughts, and is afraid to ask for help, don’t be afraid. There are people who loves you very dearly, and is ready to lend their ear for you, may it be personal or professional help. You are all so very strong, and I am honestly glad that you are still alive with us. I am proud you are still standing strong. Please continue to be strong, and know that we do care and love you.
