Trump Is 78, Putin Is 72, Netanyahu 75, Biden 82, Lukashenko 70. If You Kill Yourself Now, You'll Never

Fandom is so different now and it’s becoming un-fun with how quickly shit moves.

I just want to enjoy things. I don’t want to have to play a game of Artist-Race that seems to be afoot lately.

Ya’ll eat up fandoms, leave artists and writers bone dry and then move on so fucking quickly then fucking wonder where all the Good Fandom Stuff is.

Idk Maybe cherish some things for longer. Reblog stuff. Interact with people. Comment and share.

Fandom is Capitalism now and I’m not being nuanced.

the level of censorship around this man is ridiculous, what happened to free speech? It’s just his name.

So I've just come back from the cinema and I have thoughts.

Never been a part of this fandom before, but I know the game.

Some spoilers under the cut, maybe?

Overall, the movie is exactly what I'd expected: a slasher flick and not much more. Which isn't bad, UD is pretty good for what it is. I also knew it wasn't an actual adaptation and the plot and characters were different, so I didn't end up disapointed.

The characters felt to me very much like your typical Netflix teenage friend group: I didn't feel much chemistry there and they all felt pretty flat. Which maybe is the point of movies like this, actually: you're there to watch them die in horrible ways, not get attached.

But if it's supposed to be in the same universe as the game, then why did they change the wendigo lore? From what I understood from the tape, you turn into one because of trauma and you eat people BECAUSE you're turning and not the other way around? Feels a bit nonsensical, but whatever.

I caught two references: Josh's file on Hill's desk and uh... the spiritual girl... Maggie? Megan? wearing a butterfly necklace.

Speaking of, I am kinda sad that they didn't incorporate the butterfly effect. Isn't it the whole shtick of the game? Even one small action having some unforeseen consequences would have been pretty neat.

Overall, as just a slasher teenage movie: 8/10.

to those of you who are moving here from tiktok, from someone whos used both tiktok and tumbr for years...

1. DO NOT censor your posts

dont censor sex, abuse, suicide, dont censor it. we dont have censors like tiktok does, you wont be banned for talking about these things and tagging them properly helps people avoid them (also, we dont have shadowbanning here)

2. we dont really have an algorithm

you follow who you follow, and you see posts from who you follow or what you search. the 'for you page' is basically useless here. this also brings me to my next two points

3. dont crosstag

we get it, on tiktok you have to crosstag for reach, but thats not really a thing here. just tag your posts properly (also posters often leave more info about the post in the tags!! and when you reblog stuff you can leave your own notes in the tags, kind of like the old "repost comments" on tiktok)

4. dont expect to go viral/be famous

"viral" isnt really a thing on here (at least not for the average blogger). your posts will probably get 2-10 likes and you wont get nearly as many followers than on tiktok. thats just how tumblr is

5. blocking is your best friend

tiktok is VERY discussion based, and while tumblr is much more discussion based than other social medias, its still not a good place for ragebait/discourse. dont interact, itll make your experience worse in the end, just block and move on

6. you cant go into someone elses house and start rearranging their furniture

this is tumblr, not tiktok. dont diss old tumblr users for how they use the site or try to change them, thats like going into someone elses house and trying to rearrange their furniture. we've been here longer and we're familiar with the site and its culture, either find your niche, adapt, or find a different app

i watched the livestream of trump signing executive orders and answering questions from the press. here are some of the big ones + other things mentioned today:

trump declared a national emergency at the southern border + is getting the US military more involved in stopping "invasions including mass migration"

no one can declare asylum in the US

all existing appointments for people wanting to legally become US citizens are canceled

birthright citizenship (aka the 14th amendment) is now gone

ICE sweeps beginning "soon," not specifying when (though there are rumors it's starting tomorrow in sanctuary cities such as chicago)

mexican cartels are now designated "foreign terrorist organizations" and trump is not opposed to US troops entering mexico to eliminate them

he restored the death penalty for "crimes committed by illegal aliens"

biden had signed an executive order attempting to stop cops from using chokeholds or doing no-knock warrants. trump just revoked that order

25% tariffs on canada and mexico begin on feb 1 2025 — expect a lot of produce imported from mexico to get more expensive soon

tariffs on china will begin soon, not specified when

trump said he intends to take back the panama canal, did not specify when or how

january 6 insurrectionists are to be immediately released/pardoned

he pardoned the leader of the proud boys

tiktok has a 90 day extension, during which the US gov will try to buy 50% of tiktok. trump said he no longer cares that china is "spying on our young people," but he wants to buy half of tiktok so the US government "can police it a little bit, or a lot." if tiktok will not sell, it will be banned in the US again.

he claims the people of greenland want to become part of the US

he says the gulf of mexico is now to be called the "gulf of america" + denali is now to be called "mount mckinley"

alaska is to be mined and become the US' main source for fossil fuels

the green new deal and "electric vehicle" (green energy) mandates are over

the US has withdrawn from the paris climate agreement

the US has withdrawn from the world health organization

reproductiverights.gov is already gone

the US now "only recognizes two genders, male and female"

trans women prisoners are to be housed in male prisons; gender affirming care for prisoners is gone

self-identification for gender on passports, government IDs, and social security cards is gone

all federal employees are required to work in the office five days a week, no more working from home

trump said the US is going to "pursue our manifest destiny into the stars" and plant a US flag on mars

sources on what executive orders were signed: one two three

and lastly, some things that happened during the inauguration:

the pastor who blessed the inauguration during the swearing in ceremony has already announced a new meme coin/cryptocurrency

trump did not put his hand on the bible + there are rumors the pope is going to say trump is the antichrist

the wealthiest people on the planet — the CEOs of twitter/tesla, amazon, google, meta, and even the CEO of tiktok — who own almost all communication platforms used by westerners — stood directly behind trump as he was sworn in

elon musk, the wealthiest person alive, who has been given his own vaguely-defined US government agency, did a nazi salute on stage at the presidential podium. neo-nazis are already celebrating

I just saw a army of Nikola Tesla's clones murder some ducks. Thank you, Mark, for the opportunity, i guess?

a society that allows people to starve when there is food has failed. like. that’s it.

i keep thinking about that one blogger on here who mentioned applying to 80+ jobs and still not getting a single callback

"Fern flower" page illustration I did for @onceuponzine!

Werepapas is so weirdly written.

Like why are we playing enlightened centrist to this guy who acts more evil than Gabriel Agreste did and the other guy?

Why does the evil guy who wanted to kidnap Adrien and force his other grandparents and legal caretaker out of custody of the child magically okay once the bad guy is defeated? He doesn't even apologize he just is better now. The same thing happened with Sublime and her mother, but here it's worse.

Why is Adrien being literally reduced to a prize with no agency when his power is necessary to the balance of things and him not getting to be a hero in this scene breaks the rules of the lore, in a plot specifically about him getting the right to make the choice himself.

I hate this season so much.
