Tumblr auto-refresh set to permanent is my villain origin story. Back to my teenage bullshit (being into Tom Cruise movies while sideeyeing cults). Too many open tabs on AO3. Yes I have wips. Don't ask. Yes, I do know omegaverse.

I'll boost random posts on movies and pop cultural stuff. No need to follow unless fandom reasons.

I dusted off my pillowfort account but not sure what I'm going to do with it. Now I'm dusting off this account and I'm not sure what to do with this

Interesting reflection of the times: reading sick fic these days and having to spend extra mental energy to move past the casual/assumed non-use of face masks on the part of the caretaking character 😂

@geraineon the interesting thing is, the few explicitly covid fics do have the accepted protocols in place 🤣 it's just the bog-standard colds/flu/fever fics and esp the contemporary ones being written, still maintain status quo and I'm here like, noooo mask plsssssss

Extremely unfortunate fact about me is that God help me once I know my blorbo du jour's natal chart, especially if it pings any shared placements

Anyway, Saturn in the eight house too? Welp.

I get a lot of use from this account due to the antenna feature but I've not been very tannish lately so hence no posting.

The fact I'm cheered up by these crawling crabs doesn't change the fact my Tumblr dash is infested with ads for crypto tho. 💀

This is a very stale observation, but I am an old fangirl, but while I do rue the modern fanvid iteration (more often known as fancams, if I understand the current terminology correctly) where videos aren't the full length of the song, the fact that fandom has access now to modern editing suites that can layer multiple audio tracks and visual layers is friggin awesome.

Anyway, I'm just here enjoying any vids of Ethan Hunt being an idiot. Or the same theme but now set to Queen. #MissionImpossible #fanvid #fancam (tbh idk what am I supposed to call them these days)

@betterloxed@kitty.social avatar

though tbh my favourite one in recent years is this Bucky Barnes one, set to Rasputin. This is on the same level of iconic as that StarTrek one set to Tik Tok, honestly. #StarTrek #BuckyBarnes #fanvid

The thing about MIDR1's retcon about the nature of IMF, other than it's hitting my La Femme Nikita button, is that it retroactively works to provide a real interesting character arc that actually normalizes MI2 in a way that makes it canonical not just technically but also in characterization, which let's face it, behaves in this franchise more like a typical tv series pre-long form narrative became the expected offering.

It's really funny, the fact that he's basically a Nikita/Michael provides really tasty ficcing material about why his personality ping-pongs between 1, 2 and 3, and how Nyah is as seminal to his formation as Ethan the spy as the death of his entire team in the first movie. Hmmm. #MissionImpossible

Nvm we wait for the 19th, and see if this supposed relaunch of main Calckey improves performance any lmao

selected the "theme park" option for my rewatch (MX4D theatre hall) and I've figured it out why it's not going to be easy to talk about Dead Reckoning just yet - this entire movie is a magic trick. But I can't quite decide if we've seen the turn yet or not, but it's certainly a first half. #MissionImpossible

foone:

Two ideas:

  1. I wonder if anyone has tried to build a Tumblr-a-like on ActivityPub?

  2. I wonder if you could build a Tumblr/ActivityPub bridge out of the existing Tumblr API? Like I know Tumblr has said they plan to eventually make Tumblr part of ActivityPub, but you could always go "fuck you" and do it for them.

@foone well until any of those happen i'm just gonna be doing this if i want to respond to tumblr posts on fedi. i think it's authentic

@betterloxed@kitty.social avatar

@hexedbug @foone (hiya, your post showed up on my calckey antenna) re-tumblr like AP: yes! There's wafrn.net: https://wafrn.net/. And I personally set up a Calckey account over Mastodon because it's a bit more like Tumblr too

when will my blahaj ---

i just want to complain about U.S. healthcare /lies down/ they didn't even DO anything. Urgent care sent me to ER, and then i got billed for Urgent Care anyway (though they said they can't do shit), and then ER billed me (they sent me home with a "let's wait a week, but pls come back if pain worsens" after me waiting the whole fucking day, in pain, and now I owe approx 1800 USD (both visits total) after insurance which is utterly ridiculous

@betterloxed@kitty.social avatar

@geraineon @unfresh oh no!!! Apparently you have to fight and contest for every line item to reduce cost if you tahan tht sort of thing...

damn, it's obvious how much ao3 has become the central place for fanfic to take place when we experience a day like this, with the archive fully down for hours and then only erratically up. I haven't read a single word of fanfic all day, and I don't remember the last time that's been true!

betterloxed,
@betterloxed@kitty.social avatar

@soph_sol @geraineon AO3 has been so integral in keeping old fan archives alive but at the same time active fandom archives should try and decentralize again but... Fandom (see Southeast Asia, China) is actually a highly vulnerable place to state right-wing action (while of course other places it's just vulnerable to right wing action like today, period). That makes decentralization both more urgent but also riskier. (Certainly can't quite use the fedi general strategy of flying under the radar for a while, imo)

betterloxed,
@betterloxed@kitty.social avatar

@soph_sol @geraineon esp if stuff like wp getting federated etc, maybe central repository would have a different definition soon

If you know the name of the fucking idiots who are running a #ddos attack against #ao3, do NOT name them.

They are after attention and other things and the best thing you can do to support our favorite site is not to speak their names.

#otw volunteers will get this under control. There are mitigation techniques. #ao3down

@ivedonestranger it's morning in my timezone and if you don't mind, do you know where/who I can check to get up to speed with what's happening?

@potpotkettle @ivedonestranger thank you, this is helpful!
