ao3 is not instagram, and it’s not embarrassing to comment on a story that’s old. we understand that you just happened to come across it now; writing is magical in that you often come across the right story at just the time you need to read it.
also, authors will literally cry over their keyboard if you comment on the stuff they write.
I know they’re just trying to stop random idiots climbing on it, but the total lack of explanation makes this sounds like every government warning in a horror movie ever.
anyway who wants to go find out what secrets and treasures are on the boat with me
If someone said they saw a big black dog jump off that boat and run away I’d believe it
I am never inclined to make fun of tumblr’s cheesy attempts to make money and generally support them even if you consider them cringe. Websites need money to operate and tumblr needs to find a way to make money consistently or it will cease to exist. I do not want tumblr to cease to exist, and the most common alternative method of making money is to collect and sell all of our personal data, which I do not want either. Websites that can support themselves via people willing to spend $25 bucks to commit to a bit is a sign of a brighter and more sustainable version of the internet.
I respect that Tumblr staff have realized we won’t pay for the usual Social Media Stuff but we will absolutely pay for weird unhinged gremlin nonsense like useless blue checks and lots of crabs.
