hey tumblr, advise me:

if a job listing is still up, but says in the description that they must receive the materials by a past date, is it worth applying anyway?

Anonymous sent: What are five things (bands/movies/books/tv shows) you feel passionate about?

oooooooh thank you for the question!

things i feel passionate about (that are bands/movies/books/tv shows) include:

  • star trek: deep space nine, show of my heart, show of my soul, no one deconstructs utopia and mixes cultures and privileges friendship and camaraderie like you do, my beautiful show
  • um, the harry potter books tbh? i am passionate about them as works of fiction (because i feel that fandom-centric love for them often misses a lot of the lit-crit type of things i love about them, and of course lit crit isn’t always interested) and also about them as defining a generation!
  • parks and recreation! beautiful optimistic show
  • new girl also b/c WOW the fact that people are laughing at these kindhearted shows these days totally warms my heart and fills me with hope, and because it’s about how your flaws are part of who you are for better and worse
  • i am embarrassingly passionate about the last picture show because HOLY FUCK HOW DO YOU CONSCIOUS DIRECTORIAL CHOICES, MR. BOGDANOVICH, HOLY FUCKING FUCK!
maya-brooks sent: top 5 books you want to reread

  • i am fucking always up for a desperaux read
  • it has been too long since i’ve visited with my beloved alice books
  • hmm i could always go for a reread of the song of songs, does that count?
thefirstgentleman sent: leslie knope and allison argent

leslie knope:

my otp: ben!

my most hated pairing: hmm, i like all the commonly known ones i guess? leslie/not being her completely boss self.

my unusual otp: how unusual is otparks? because that.

my crossover otp: leslie/barack/michelle ot3 crossover with real life!!!

my friendship otp: leslie/ann DUH

character headcanon: this is a true thing about myself but sometimes i am leslie so: when she was a girl she said she wanted to be “president”, but never “first female president” because she wanted to believe there’d be another one before she was old enough

allison argent:

my otp: forever unable to decide between lydia as her maid of honor at her wedding to scott and scott as her best man at her wedding to lydia.

my most hated pairing: allison/being treated purely as a love interest.

my unusual otp: ohmygod i am ALL OVER this allison/scott/stiles shit.

my crossover otp: hmm i didn’t really have one but i feel like allison/luna lovegood could go down really well?

friendship otp: see the first answer.

character headcanon: she’s the reason they all stay friends for years—when they drift apart, it’s allison who calls lydia and stiles and scott and all the rest and invites them to sit on her couch and watch movies, and when they come together it’s still her couch they end up on.

bunnymnd sent: A:TLA

the first character i fell in love with: sokkaaaaaaaaaaaa within like five minutes omg

the character i never expected to love as much as i do now: iroh, for sure. i was kind of annoyed by him in 1x01, actually, i thought he was lame comic relief. turned out he was a) actually funny and b) not just that.

the character everyone else loves that i don’t: oh man the extent to which i don’t give a shit about katara has to be seen to be believed.

the character i love that everyone else hates: i don’t think there are any? i do adore mai and i know some people don’t.

the character i used to love but don’t any longer: NONE OMG EVERYONE FULFILLED THEIR BEAUTIFUL PROMISE

the character i would totally smooch: zuko. azula. zuko and azula at the same time. (what?)

the character i’d want to be like: iroh. sokka, by the end of the series. (i have maybe more than i want to in common with zuko and once again i’d love to live up to his best moments.)

the character i’d slap: i don’t even know. that guy who was mean to azula in the daria episode (aka the beach to non-me people) because DON’T HURT MY BABY’S FEELINGS

a pairing that i love: katara/aang. zuko/sokka tbh but also zuko/mai. tyzulaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.

a pairing that i despise: i don’t really despise anything, but i’m not a big fan of zuko/katara or sokka/toph (cue entire fandom baring their teeth and growling, i knoooooooow)

REMINDER NOT TO TAG TRIGGERING THINGS WITH TW: OR TRIGGER WARNING: FIRST

madarakifran:

but why not, you ask???? let me tell you

because tumblr saviour is fickle and tends to break or slow down when having too many things added to its blacklist.

if i have #food blocked, and you tag things with #tw food or #tw: food or #trigger warning: food or #blacklist: food or however, then i have to add all of those to the list for the same thing!! and if i only have 4 things to block that’s already 16 items on my blacklist!! wow

which will cause the posts to take longer to be blocked and cause detriment to the user.

how do we fix this??

by tagging with the blacklisted item first!

tagging things with #food tw and #food blacklist etc will catch all those posts with me only having #food blacklisted and takes just as much time!

it’s a way better and more efficient way of making things easier on folks with triggers or with things that upset or bother them! and it’d be real appreciated if put more into practice.

thank u

Anonymous sent: What is your favorite season? Why?

FALL AUTUMN AUTUMN AUTUMN FALL

Because fall is about beginnings, and about change.

I know it’s supposed to be spring, there, but not for me. Fall is the start of a new school year; fall is when my preferred New Year’s happens. (Rosh Hashanah is my favorite holiday of them all.) Fall is when the long timeless spell of the summer is finally broken, when a breeze snakes its way into a closed room, when the days get shorter (but not too short) and the air grows colder (but not too cold).

In spring, everything is growing, but in fall, everything is growing up. There’s change in the air; fall isn’t something that happens all at once, but something that comes gradually, day by day.

It’s a time to build, a time not for the wild happiness of spring but for a joy with foundations. It’s a time to make plans and to see plans starting to be fulfilled.

And the weather, of course, is lovely.
