Cecesteele03 - Rarity - Tumblr Blog

Once again, Tumblr manages to succeed via just being honest with their users.

I made a post back around April fool's about the crabs being so popular because the joke was that every other website tries to trick you into clicking things so they can make money from your clicks and what if instead a website just asked "please click this revenue generating crab. It is there to generate revenue. In return you will have clicked on a crab. Nothing more." And the answer to that question was "people will frantically click on that crab. They don't hate the idea of the website getting money, they hate the idea of being profited on against their will".

So Tumblr implemented actual revenue crabs. "For this much money you can fill your or someone else's dash with virtual crabs. This will have the effect of there being crabs on their screen."

And people will buy those crabs. Because yes you're spending money on something stupid and useless but it's being sold to you as "hey you want something stupid and useless?", which is a nice change of pace from every other site trying to make itself out to be something more than what it is.

Twitter is floundering with the checkmark system because it's being sold as "confirm that you are someone important and who you say you are is true", which it isn't at all right now because anyone can buy one. You're buying a useless checkmark that only says that YOU think you're important. Or, more often than not right now, you are intending to trick other people into thinking you're someone you're not.

Meanwhile, Tumblr just said "Consider this double check mark. It does nothing. You will be marking yourself as someone who paid money for a meaningless checkmark and sometimes it will randomly turn into a bunch of crabs, making the site harder to use". And the userbase is like "Well sure, that sounds delightful."

The point is, despite what all the marketing and advertising people have tried to say, painting trash gold and trying to pass it off as something better is almost never as effective as just saying "hey you want this trash?"

Why yes, in fact, I do.

tell all the truth (but tell it slant) by susiecarter

It takes a while for Batman and Superman to work things out, once Clark comes back from the dead. Pretending to date each other in order to explain why Bruce Wayne and Clark Kent are in the same place so often? Doesn’t help as much as you might think. (fake dating)

coming up these steps to you by susiecarter

Five ways Bruce said “I love you” without saying it—and the time Clark didn’t say it right back at him.

World’s Finest Handjob by linndechir

Clark sees Bruce in public for the first time since Batman and Superman started working together, at another charity event in Metropolis. He’s fascinated by how different Bruce’s public persona is from the Bruce he’s come to know. Bruce catches him watching and promptly ambushes Clark in the bathroom.

Cadence by manic_intent

“Bruce,” Clark prompted, as seriously as he could. It was proving surprisingly hard to keep a straight face when naked and chest-deep in warm water.

“I’ve always wondered,” Bruce said mildly, without even looking over, as though both of them were having a casual conversation over lunch. “How the hell do you shave?”

two years in the making by knoxoursavior

Bruce’s mornings are usually spent in bed, trying to ignore the pain in his hips and his knees as he finally gets up and answers Alfred’s insistent calls to breakfast. He expects to find Alfred waiting patiently in the kitchen, arms crossed and ready to tie Bruce to a chair if he needs to.

Instead, there’s Clark Kent, eating his toast and drinking his orange juice and decidedly not dead.

Alfred could’ve warned him.

Saying the Words (or, Why Batman Doesn’t Do Birthdays) by FabulaRasa

In constructing the Watchtower, somehow Clark and Bruce construct their own dysfunctional relationship as well. What do you do, when you need to start over?

Just a Formality by FabulaRasa

Bruce and Clark get married, for reasons. And then they fall in love. Nope, it’s not Victorian time travel! I am straight up about this.

A Day With No Regrets by Mithen

When Bruce Wayne gets stuck in a time loop, he’s more intrigued than alarmed. It doesn’t hurt that every day ends with his first date with Clark Kent.

Words to Live By by Mithen

A Kryptonian sentence becomes a viral hit, much to Superman’s chagrin.

Fake Empires by copperbadge

Bruce Wayne can’t possibly be as dumb as he acts, and Clark Kent isn’t as ordinary as he appears.

Uber: “I’m in a blue Honda Civic.”

Me: “ok”

Me to me: “ok, we know what blue is”

we’re really at that point in the year where no one cares about anything huh

I don’t think people realise how easy it is to feel ugly when you’re South East Asian.

I know so many popular East Asian bloggers, who always get so many notes because of how elegant and refined and. Pale. They are. Those are standards most of us can never achieve. I’ve never seen a selfie set of a southeast Asian girl break 1k: but I’ve seen plenty, and I mean plenty of pale East Asians break 3k easy.

I know East Asian bloggers who go on about racism against East Asians and act like it’s universal. I know some who will talk about East Asian racism but never breathe a word about racism against southeast Asians.

I know East Asian bloggers who literally don’t follow any South East Asians. The ones who say that it doesn’t matter because “we’re all East Asian!” Technically. Or those who act like we’re a different breed and a different species.

I wonder if most East Asians know that their beauty standards get passed down to our countries. I wonder if they know how it hurts a lot of us.

So I’m giving a shoutout to every southeast Asian girl. Every one of you,if us, deserves to feel pretty.

I’m talking about the Indonesian gals with broad noses. The Malay girls who wear Tudung and are mocked. Chinese Singaporeans who are still not “Chinese enough” for mainlanders. Filipino girls who feel guilty about their curly or frizzy hair. Indian Singaporeans who are feel like they need to be pale to be worth something ( you don’t). Thai girls who are told their country is only good for farming rice. Myanmar girls who get asked mockingly if they’re domestic workers. Even if you are, there is no shame in that. Every Cambodian girl who felt bad about having thick lips. I know I left a lot of people out, and I’m sorry. But if you’re reading this and haven’t seen yourself here - you are just as worthy and my spirit and strength and good wishes are with you

You are all beautiful. Every single one of you. We are all beautiful. It’s hard to see it and it’s hard to feel it sometimes but we are. You are. Every one of you. Pride to our people!

Tsukihina for the Ship meme~

Thank you!!!!! yeees my bbys ;;

Send me a ship and I will rate it:

notp / not really / meh / I could / sometimes / maker, yes / my otp babbies

and answer:

Who is the most affectionate? - Hinata is more tactile and uses his words to shower Tsukishima with love. Tsukki may be less outwardly affectionate, but he does these tiny little thoughtful things that have so much impact? Like buying Hinata new kneepads when he notices Hinata needs them, or plugging the heating pad for Hinata’s aching legs?

Big spoon/Little spoon? - would it be weird if i say i don’t think they spoon at all, like tsukishima sleeps on his back like a corpse and hinata plops around like a starfish so honestly they’re both a mess

Most common argument? -  tsukishima’s level of enjoyment of any media (”This is A GOOD MOVIE” “sure babe” “ENJOY IT”), hinata training too hard or being nosy with other players (”did you really have to teach that guy about the tempos for hours?” “he’s my teammate! I want our team to get better!” “you’re pushing yourself too hard!”), being away from each other for long amounts of time :(((

Favorite non-sexual activity? - volleyball, lying down in bed while blasting music, arguing whether dinosaurs had feathers

Who is most likely to carry the other? - Tsukishima. Like, I know Hinata wants to carry Tsukishima, but………. he smol

Nicknames? BABE HONEY SWEETUMS I will carry this headcanon to my grave tnx. Hinata has canonically called him “Tsukki” bec Furudate-sensei loves me personally

Who worries the most? - god, Tsukishima “pretends not to care at all but cares with his entire soul” Kei is literally always so worried about Hinata “will jump from the second floor for a dare” Shouyou

Who tops?

Who initiates kisses? - Hinata often does!!! When he’s excited or he’s overwhelmed with affection, he just Goes For It. Tsukishima only does it when the shock factor is at its highest bec he a drama queen

Who wakes up first? - Hinata Shouyou canonically bikes from the mountainside to his school and is never late, so I guess he’s a morning person??? Tsukishima Kei doesn’t believe 7 am exists

Who says I love you first? - honestly??? I think Tsukishima will say it first. He’ll want to verbalize it and get Hinata’s reaction. And Hinata’s like “oh??? we have to SAY it??? but I’ve loved you for so long??? NO FAIR I WANT TO SAY IT FIRST” “that’s not how time works, babe” (Hinata realized he loved Tsukki first tbh so in a way don’t we ALL win??)

Okay so Hinata is bouncy right? He gets hyper waaaay to easy and he jumps a lot we know this right?

Maybe one day he’s jumping and someone (probably Kuroo) just catches him in mid air, holding him up under his armpits and keeps him there

Hinata’s mind goes blank. What? What’s happening. Where’s the floor. Has he gained the ability to float? He goes quiet and doesn’t move or speak until he’s set down

Tsukishima is like “oh my god he has an off switch” and everyone else is like huh. Huh.

So whenever Hinata gets too rowdy one of the tall people will pick him up and bam all is quiet. It’s astounding

I want a story about an Italian vampire.

No romance, no action.

Just 200 pages of “What do you mean, I can’t have garlic? Do you know where I’m from?”

Anyone that sees this gif will automatically have a great 2020! 

I love their friendship bahaha

sound: [ON]

DON’T SCROLL PAST THIS

for the last 2+ weeks, the Amazon has been catching fire. Yes, it’s the season where that’s normal but because of the sayings (aka incentive) of our new president, some farmers are taking advantage of that and intentionally setting the trees on fire. Yesterday, because of this, the sky of São Paulo looked like this. AT THREE IN THE AFTERNOON.

Hospitals of the northern states are filling up with people (especially children and seniors) claiming they can’t breathe properly. ALREADY ENDANGERED ANIMALS ARE DYING. THIS IS SERIOUS.

Germany and Norway, huge donators to the Amazon cause will stop sending money because they don’t see results (that can also be credited to our president, who has been tweeting angrily ever since - not because he cares about the environment, btw). That money gives this guy and his team equipment to save little guys like these:

THIS AFFECTS EVERYONE, NOT JUST BRAZILIANS. The Amazon is the largest rainforest in the world, and it’s being destroyed. WE HAVE TO DO SOMETHING.

If your country is holding elections, vote for someone who cares about this. Don’t let another Bolsonaro or another Trump have the power to do something and then do nothing. This is going to shape our future — if we have one.

PLEASE REBLOG, EVERYONE NEEDS TO SEE THIS!!

side note: not to sound bitter or ungrateful but also like what’s up with Europe... y’all exploited South America for centuries but just because you “aren’t seeing results” you stop helping altogether??

edit: I’m sorry if it sounded like I’m blaming Europe. I’m not. It’s our own government’s fault (Bolsonaro merged the agriculture and environmental ministries when he was elected, for God’s sake) and I’m really sorry if I offended anyone, I was just angry. Please don’t let that be the only thing you take away from this post.

Update: GUYS FRANCE JUST CALLED FOR AN EMERGENCY G7 MEETING TO RESOLVE THIS. I’M SO GLAD!! Let’s hope they get together to like punch our president or something...

How to help Amazônia:

You can donate to SOS Amazônia which is one among the 100 NGOs selected as “The Largest NGOs in Brazil”.

> > > ( ENGLISH: https://doe.sosamazonia.org.br/en ) < < <

And remember:

- 1 USD is 4,04 reais.

- 1 EUR is 4,47 reais.

If you donate only $2,50 USD (10 reais) you’re helping a lot.

If you donate only $2,30 EUR (10 reais) you’re helping a lot.

About people saying “the minimum value is $10”: Even if you’re not from Brazil you can donate in REAL instead of donating in USD or EUR via Paypal, so… YES, you can donate less than 10 dollars or euros. (Just don’t change the currency to USD or EUR, Paypal converts your dollars/euros to reais.)

Or you can help by signing the petitions too!

https://secure.avaaz.org/campaign/po/apocalipse_na_amazonia_40/?cdGYPob

and

https://www.change.org/p/impedir-o-desmatamento-e-explora%C3%A7%C3%A3o-da-amaz%C3%B4nia

It won’t take much of your time!

Translation:

Stop killing the Amazon!

To members of the Brazilian Congress, the government of Jair Bolsonaro and world leaders:

As citizens around the world, we were horrified to see the rapid increase in the destruction of the Amazon rainforest in recent months. The fate of humanity is directly connected with the fate of the Amazon, and we ask that you do everything you can to protect the forest, including passing laws to protect public forests and ending illegal deforestation, and even increasing international pressure to prevent further destruction of the Amazon.

Please. Boost if possible, this is REALLY important.
