Tumblr drama vs other social media drama is so funny

Facebook drama: I will not be going to Uncle Todd's dinner tonight because he keeps saying racist stuff ♥️

Twitter drama: I cannot BELIEVE she said a slur 7 years ago. #canceled

TikTok drama: Is Chad Chaddington III ch3ating on Ash-Lindseigh????

Tumblr drama: *unintelligible paragraphs between coochiemonsterfromsesassmestreet and destielsfavoritepony37 (who apparently owns an illegal baby racing company)*

If I drove a bulldozer through an apple store and the cops just shoved me in a closet and pumped me full of DMT for 8 hours id literally just do it again the second they let me out

I learnt something today that I think is just beautiful. My grandmother was a very sick woman and pretty much housebound for the last of her life.  She derived great pleasure from watching her neighbour’s backyard chickens.  She adored these chickens.  Every time I called, she had new chicken drama to tell me—think Linda Belcher and the raccoons.   It turns out that at some point, their neighbour was no longer able to have chickens because due to a disability he could no longer afford to keep them.  My grandfather, upon learning this, immediately used his spending money to keep the neighbour in both chickens and chicken feed so that my grandmother would have chickens to watch since my grandfather didn’t have time to keep chickens at their home. He did this for ten years, guys.  TEN YEARS he secretly funded his neighbour’s backyard chickens so that my grandmother would have chickens to watch every day until the day she died.   That’s true love.

Even good-faith non-haters of Discovery and Picard were like “enough with the grimdark already” after a couple of seasons—and look at the Star Trek slate now:

Discovery is an LGBTQ safe space where the computer’s your friend and everyone gets free therapy;

Picard S2 was a fever-dream mashup of “Tapestry” (TNG), “Past Tense” (DS9), the One with the Whales, and “Unimatrix Zero” (VOY), if you took all the lesbian subtext in “Unimatrix Zero” and made it actual, literal text;

Lower Decks, a whole-ass sitcom which also feels like a genuine sequel series to TNG, my ultimate comfort watch;

Prodigy is arguably the darkest series they’ve got going right now, and that’s literally an animated show for kids;

Strange New Worlds, which isn’t afraid to get dark, but which is even less afraid to get silly.

And… I think we won, y’all. We said “Star Trek, please lighten the fuck up”—and it did. At this point I’m almost willing to let Michelle Yeoh’s Section 31 series have a few war crimes—you know, as a treat. 😈️

Se acaba de filtrar el post de alguien por tener la palabra clave «Luke» y es la primera vez que al abrirlo se trataba del Lucas evangelista y no del trotacielos.
