anyway i looked up the post about seeing your grandma’s boobs and tumblr has deleted the screenshot of the story where the finnish dude says that americans are “like that” because they haven’t seen their grandma’s tits
good job tumblr 👍
there it is!
my comments on that post were (sorry for shamelessly copy-pasting them):
american attitudes about nudity are fucking wild, and the worst part is that because they’re american, they just assume that everyone everywhere thinks the same. i will never forget seeing people on a left-leaning, progressive site saying that families bathing together is creepy and gross and clearly a sign that something is wrong with the family, that they’d never seen their siblings or parents naked and would in fact rather die. meanwhile to this day i bathe and go to the sauna with my sister and mother and have been bathing and sauna'ing with various family members - and even strangers! - my whole life.
but yes, can confirm, seeing your grandma’s tits as a child does you good, and not just because it teaches you that “beauty is fake and temporary”, but because it broadens your ideas about what beauty even is in the first place. my sister and i used to spend our summers at our grandma’s house by the countryside and frequently bathed and went to sauna with her. we saw not just her breasts but also her flabby skin, her moles and liver spots, her body hair and varicose veins, and we didn’t see any of that as weird or ugly because they were a part of our grandma who we loved very much. and when we see those things in other people - ourselves included! - we think “well it wasn’t ugly on my grandma’s body, so why would it be ugly on anyone else’s body?”. it makes you much more understanding and “forgiving”, if you will, towards the completely normal bodies of strangers as well as your own body.
hello tumbel-er dot com user CARTOONISHVENDOR, give me more Maggotblood lore. I am insatiable
well, welcome to my tumblr, anon possibly here from my art fight account!! for anyone confused, we’re talking about this girlie today:
i haven’t posted about her or Long After StarClan on my tumblr once, not as far as i remember. that stuff is mainly in my head, on my art fight account and my youtube, even the starting phases of the story went to my priv twitter (rip in pieces), so im actually really stoked to talk about her now!!
last disclaimer before a read more bc i fear i may make this super long: details of her story are subject to change, since Long After StarClan doesn’t exist as a tangible fanfic or comic or anything yet!
This is what happened when a fanfic site is profit driven. Wattpad sucks 😞
The email from Wattpad is so condescending imagine pressuring writers to update and work while they are doing it for free and fun. Also the discovery? Algorithm? Of Wattpad looks like a stressful popularity contest 😑
Hey I just wanna quickly say that you only get these if someone reports the story. I’ve barely updated on Wattpad in the past two years and haven’t gotten any of these, mostly because I don’t even have an audience over there who has the potential or drive to report my fics. So, corporate greed is bad, yes, but it’s also readers being buttheads
Hmm, that’s interesting! You know what happens if someone reports a story for being incomplete on AO3? Jack shit, because not churning out content for your fun little hobby is not a reportable offense on AO3! And that’s because, unlike Wattpad, AO3 isn’t profiting off of your work, either directly or indirectly, and so when readers are buttheads, the AO3 abuse mods ignore them, instead of sending out weird automated messages harassing writers for daring to have a wip.
Tumblr: No NSFW! You know how it is we banned it because of the bots in 2018!
Also tumblr:
lmao
You know how it is then, folks!
MANUAL BLAZE MODE GO
….am I allowed to say “whovians, grab your TARDISes?” You know how it is.
Tumblr loves doing this. I tried to make a post about the ads that showed actual human penises in them, with screenshots, and it was taken down for violating community guidelines…. unlike the ad, I guess?
