Forget everything I just said. Article 13 was just passed and I have no clue what the consequences will be.
I hope it’s a storm in a teacup and everything will be ok. I’m not good at interpreting legalese and it’s hard to know what is fact and what is fear when reading about it.
However if it is anywhere near as far-reaching and problematic as suggested Europeans might not even be allowed tumblrs anymore. I really don’t know.
I’m not panicking, I’m just confused.

B, darling 🙂 your blog is your blog and I love following whatever you blog about 🙂

Poll Time
I have a big reply typed out on my phone, but Tumblr mobile is too awful and I need to edit it before I post. The tl;Dr version is this: you do you, and fuck everyone else. Your blog is about you, not your followers.
Thank you both! *hugs*
I don’t really have followers, not like you do. It’s not like people are expecting anything from me and so I’m not worried about that exactly. It’s more I guess my pathological fear of annoying people (*cough* or fear of people in general really).
I would probably suck at a dedicated writing blog anyway because I would be constantly thinking “have I gone on too much about this? I don’t want to be boring.” or “have I been too enthusiastic? I don’t want to make people feel bad.” or “have I been too whiny? I don’t like spreading misery.” etc. and wind up not posting much at all.
Sometimes I know what I want to do but I fall over myself getting in my own way.
Why doesn’t tumblr have inline polls? Anyway my question to anyone who cares is about what I should do with this blog. For full details on what’s behind this question, check under the cut 🙂
a) Create a new sideblog dedicated to writing
b) you guys don’t mind if I blog about writing a lot more on here
The pro of a new sideblog is it can be a proper writeblr and I might find new writing friends. The con is another blog to manage and I’m a bit pants at keeping multiple things going.
The pro of keeping it here is that then everything is just in one place. The con is not being able to network as a writeblr and also it might annoy you guys. Although I do promise that I would tag for blocking purposes.
What do you guys think?
I’ve been thinking – dangerous I know 🙂
When I first joined tumblr back in May 2016 I didn’t reblog gifsets very much as I don’t think I understood how tumblr worked that well. I thought if I saw it on my dash a lot that reblogging was pointless/potentially annoying, as it would just repeat again. I also apologised when I started reblogging more than 3 things a day as I was concerned about spamming /facepalm
These days I like reblogging gifsets because a) shiny, b) it showcases stuff I love and I like showing what I love. I’ve made posts bemoaning lack of gifsets for certain things because dammit I want that content on my dash hehe.
BUT (and here’s where the thinking comes in)
Reblogging all those gifsets ties me in pretty firmly with fandom. Now I consider myself embedded in the rumbelle fandom and I never want to leave. I don’t really know where the fandom is for anything else very much (I equate knowing fandom with knowing people in the fandom) but I do as I said reblog a lot of shiny gifsets.
There is one person I follow, and I’ve completely forgotten how come I came to follow them oops, but they are a writeblr. Now I had to look this up as I didn’t really understand that tumblr can be different things (apparently fitblr’s exist too! learn something new everyday heh) but they are writing dedicated blogs.
Now I’ve been in a writing slump/pit of despair for getting on for two years. My lack of updates and poor neglected WIP’s testify to that. Given my shame I’ve mostly been quiet on the writing front. Sort of a “if I don’t talk about it, I won’t draw attention to it” kinda deal. Sometimes I’ll say stuff but not often (the amount of written and deleted posts is staggering).
So my thought is maybe, just maybe, I’ll get my enthusiasm back if I pretend to be enthusiastic. Sort of a ‘fake it until you make it’ kinda deal. If I re-immerse myself in the writing world again, I’ll start to pick it up, rather than just ignoring it and letting time slip through my fingers like water.
Yeah so that’s what is going through my mind.
I decided to do some writing
My brain on the other hand decided it would rather panic about writing, not writing, the future or lack of etc.
I would panic less, if I did more, so this is sooooo the opposite of helpful /facepalm
The thing that I love the most about having lots of story ideas … is the fizzing potential. I read over the list and it’s like hugging a warm drink, these are mine and they sound awesome.
The thing that I hate the most about having lots of story ideas … is the complete indecision about what to work on which often leads to me working on nothing, feeling like I’ll never get anything finished as the mountain is just too big and that all the shiny potential disappears the second I attempt to put words on a page.
Can’t live with it BUT definitely can’t live without it. #hookedforlife
I got to put the heating on today 🙂 🙂 🙂
*cross fingers* summer won’t make a comeback. I am soooooo ready for blanket weather.
Did crafting things on vacation. Had a go at some glass painting. It’s really hard. Tried replicating the RAC logo from Killjoys on a coaster. It’s absolute crap but maybe recognisable? Idk heh 🙂
Well I’m back from my trip to Devon. 8 hour car journey to get home yesterday *dies* honestly it’s weird being an adult. I felt like throwing a tantrum because I! wanted! to! be! home! already! but I also knew it was pointless because we haven’t invented teleportation yet, so we’d get home when we got home and there was nothing I could do to hurry it up.
I owe @ripperblackstaff a couple of prompts *hugs* I worked out what I was doing for them while I was away but didn’t have a chance to do any actual writing. The car journey to get there last Sunday provided me with sufficient thinking time at least 🙂
2 weeks on monday until I’m back at uni. Let’s see what I can do in that time shall we?
Flynn got kidnapped and nobody noticed.
I’m so relieved.
Him just leaving like that was fairly unforgivable but he didn’t so that’s ok.
I’m still kinda sad though because this is the last ever episode 🙁
Rumbellers! Got a question.
If you could install a nanny cam in the Pink Palace (and possibly also in the pawn shop, library, and let’s throw Granny’s Diner in too), and watch Rumbelle go about their day — just one boring, non-eventful day — what would you hope to witness?
And before any of you say it, I’m looking for answers other than ‘non-stop sex’. I know someone would say it, b/c I know this fandom! I’m looking for the fluff answer… the little moments in a relationship.
This reminds me a bit of that “send your OTP and I’ll tell you which one does the dishes, or mows the lawn” etc.
I think I’d like to see them do the dance of life.
By that I mean they have a routine and they know each other well so they can weave around one another to get breakfast. They know what is needed before the other has to ask.
Or how many times a day do you go “pass me the thingymebob” or “oh what’s the word” or “you know what I mean” and the people that know you best DO know.
Even more than that the shared references. How they’ll both hear something and think of the same thing. How they’ll be able to say just a couple of words and the other will know what they are thinking. Those shared years and memories and comfortable level.
I’d like to see the reality. Like how Belle always leaves her shoes in the bathroom and Rumple jokes she’s trying to kill him as he trips over them. How they have thermostat wars because Rumple likes it set at what Belle calls freezing. How Belle has book club nights and girls nights and Rumple has a card game and chess so they don’t always eat together. There’s dinners in the freezer and the microwave for when they get in.
You know just life 🙂
