oc question: does marie have any other opinions about Dublar? (my oc) (also have a mini extended dublar opinion about marie: Dublar is unsettled by Marie and would rather perfer to be away from her, but they wouldn't mind hanging out with her and finding out more about her. Dublar has a morbid curiousity about her. Though they think they should really stop smoking or at least not smoke around them, and her love of expensive pastries might be a bonding point.)

Helloooo! Thanks a bunch for this ask! I wasn't expecting this but what a lovely surprise! ^w^

I feel like Marie would find Dublar to be much too positive for their own good, what is there around to even be so happy about anyways? Their positivity peeves her to no end! How do they even manage?? However, she cannot deny her curiosity surrounding them. How is it that their heart is like that? How does such a thing even happen? What effect does such a difference have in their day to day life? She simply MUST know! She must fuel her intrigue by any means necessary or she will never know rest.

And hey, who knows, maybe she'll learn to enjoy their presence yet... It just may take a long long while.

Interesting to learn what Dubby thinks of Marie! Seems the both of them share a curiosity and desire to know more about the other party... And yes, it would be best for Marie to stop smoking, but getting her to actually do that is most certainly not going to be an easy task. Hey, at least the love of fine delicacies are another similarity they hold, what's not to enjoy with that?

Thanks again for the ask, it really means a lot. Hope you have a lovely day! =^w^=

(npc voice) Hey, stay back! I’m warning you… wait a minute… you’re a human! Oh, thank goodness, I thought you were another one of those bots! You know, it’s dangerous for a human like you to be walking around these parts without an avatar. Here, let me loan you one of my spares.

[ You got the Jigglypuff icon! You can use this to get closer to other humans! ]

There you go, quite cute if I do say so myself. Just remember to be more careful from now on!

buying groceries: hmmm this food and supplies I need for living is 3 dollars… that’s kinda steep. Don’t really wanna do that…

gambling: oooh who’s a hungry slot machine ooh you want another twenty dont you nomnomnomnom

When all of my blorbos are my own ocs so I can’t consume content about them unless I make it

send me “spoiler!” and ill give u a vague spoiler abt a story im writing

apple completely censoring tumblr to the point where you can't even say words that aren't even sexual like soap or pipe is the beginning of the end for tumblr’s usability and user experience. the process already started with the Dec 17 ban and recently with the overexposure of ads. but pretty soon, apple is gonna make tumblr unusable. it's not like virizon cared about making the site functional when they owned it, and automatic/wordpress (current owners) definitely don't give a shit about tumblr now.

everywhere else on the internet, content is heavily monitored and censored. you'll get banned if you say anything that's against tos. sometimes that's good, as it gets rid of all the nazis. other times it's terrible, when people abuse the reporting ai to ban normal people. the whole banning system is unpredictable, so to be safe, people need to censor themselves on twitter and tiktok and facebook and ig and youtube. they can't say "kill", they have to say "unalive". they can't talk about violence, so they have to sugarcoat real world events. they can't swear, talk about racism or sex or history, or even acknowledge that the world is a fucked up place, because "kids use this app". tumblr was one of the last safe places on the internet where you could threaten to kill the president without having the fbi show up to your house.

but with this new apple shit, tumblr is becoming more like every other site online. any post that contains a word on a constantly expanding list is hidden from ios users. any blogs marked as "explicit" (which is also a huge issue btw) are unaccessible by apple users. not straight up banning people, but still preventing access to the real tumblr for those users. now over a third of tumblr’s userbase is either stuck on a completely sanitized version of tumblr, has to use the web browser version on their phone, or just cut off from tumblr entirely.

the internet used to be a place of togetherness and inclusiveness and content sharing and entertainment and fun. now it's mostly corporate garbage and ads. companies love ads. and to run ads effectively, they need as many people as possible to see them. and to do that, the places they advertise have to be family friendly so everyone can use them. that's what all of these sites are doing. banning creativity and expressiveness so they can force you to watch more ads. I understand that there's server costs. I understand that the employees need to eat. but there are so many bugs that haven't been fixed in years that it seems like @staff is getting paid to do fuck all, and instead wasting their time making stupid design decisions to distract us from them selling out.

what does this current situation say about the future of tumblr and the internet as a whole? I don't really know. if things continue as they are, more people will leave tumblr for newer sites, or twitter once tumblr becomes just as unusable as it (might as well use the more popular shitty site if they're both equally shit). eventually, within 5 or 6 years, tumblr will shut down after server costs are too high, and unless users take the time to archive everything, nearly two decades of internet history will be erased forever. I'd give it until 2035 before the internet (and by extention the vr world / metaverse / matrix) becomes so riddled with ads that it becomes completely unusable. unless, of course, something changes with how advertisements work. whether that be a new law that makes it so ads have to be less distracting or optional, or even just some sites refusing to run advertisements at the cost of user membership fees. one of those seems extremely unlikely, and the other sounds equally shit.

the internet sucks ass. I just want to return to 2010 playing club penguin and browsing early tumblr and early watching minecraft youtube videos and playing flash games on newgrounds.

the world would be a better place if literally every single ceo and billionaire immediately died right now.

i cant wait for the internet to go crazy w this when the queen dies
