literally though if you feel like your life is slipping through your fingers and every day goes too fast… try doing hard things, not just taking the easy route, like reading and making art and exercising and cooking a meal from scratch and journaling, doing these things without distraction, without being absorbed on a screen… the time will stretch and you’ll be reminded that life is long and beautiful if you make it so.
people need to realize that widely accepted headcanons are still just headcanons. They do not magically become canon because 95% of the fandom agree with you.
I once had someone tell me I needed to just accept a headcanon about a character I liked (but saw very differently) because it was so wildly popular that it was “practically canon” and, like, don’t do this??
It’s *still* just a headcanon.
everyone calling reddit social media is wrong
it's a forum and message board platform not social media it doesn't work like twitter or instagram or tiktok
and I think this is why everyone on tumblr is more accepting of their refugees and not twitters (besides the twitter refugees bringing old discourse back)
because tumblr is also not social media it's a blogging platform. both tumblr and reddit are similar in that they both reflect the internet of old, when forums and blogs and personal websites were more popular, a time when you didn't post about every little thing in your life, when you could be anonymous
and no matter how hard the ceos or the staff of either websites may try they can never fully transform into the next twitter or whatever without fundamentally changing what these websites are. which would be a death sentence
people aren't coming to these websites for social media, they're coming for the community, for the uniqueness, for the long discussions they can have without a character limit, for information, for anonymity. to browse the internet without feeling pressured into posting perfectly fake photos and stories about your life in a desperate attempt for likes and attention
