I’m really sorry that I can’t ever seem to help you all with what hurts you.
TJ saw this on my dash, and since he’s been marathon-ing the TV show, he was most pleased. <3

SHARE TO SAVE TUMBLR!
- Let’s try and get 100k notes
A review by one of the folks sums it up perfectly:
“What worries me about Yahoo! buying Tumblr is how it would choose to incorporate the website into its email and homepage features. One of the reasons why Tumblr is so unique is because it’s a niche market. By adding more users who don’t fit into this niche, it would make it more difficult for communities to develop within Tumblr, and Tumblr would have to change to accommodate these new users. Tumblr as a website is not the kind that you can sign up for in a day and be on your way. It is a website crafted so that you can immediately post but must spend several weeks, sometimes even months, to build a community. With new users who would not be willing to spend time growing a community, Tumblr would have to be changed, which would alienate its current users. Those users have spent time and effort to make Tumblr what it is today, and they are the ones who spend time on the website daily. A user who is checking onto Tumblr because it’s attached to their homepage is not going to be as strong of a user nor as dedicated. By changing the website to suit this new user, you would lose the strong users while building an undedicated usership.
To any website that would think of buying Tumblr, they must understand that it is a website that cannot be changed to make it more user friendly to a casual blogger. I think that many Tumblr users would be less worried about a buy-out if they were promised that their communities and ways of using Tumblr would not be changed. No one is going to mind Yahoo! buying the website and gaining a few extra million dollars per year from the minimal advertising; what we will be upset with is if a company like Yahoo! then changes the website to increase casual users and decrease dedicated users. Yahoo! would gain nothing by losing this “cool” group of bloggers in an age group they so desperately want to reach, so they must cater to these individuals by leaving the website exactly as is.” - houseoftombombadil
As much as is does sound like a load of bullshit for someone to buy Tumblr, it’s a possibility. I Personally think it should stay independent and I hope David Karp keeps a hold of it like his own child. Or we make enough noise to where such major changes (if bought) will not happen. I would hate to see Tumblr turned into an advertising dump.We’re not a ‘hip fad group’ to be marketed to. I hate the fact that’s all we look like to businesses in the end.
Yahoo, you had better not touch my mother fucking tumblr.

Okay guys, here’s the thing! Me and several other friends are opening a forum roleplay and we’re inviting YOU!!
Here’s the Premise, copied from the site itself (because I am lazy):
————
They called it Arcadia.
No ones knows how long the city has been around or who named it. The history books keep changing and there’s no one around who can remember where it all started, not entirely. Arcardia is a place where humanity has evolved, where being born with special powers is the norm. All people do know is the city once was a great place with a constant struggle between heroes and villains, but fifteen years ago there was a war. There was a war, the villains won, and the city was plunged in darkness.
The city is now ruled with an iron fist by a group called The Wise Men. The Wise Men are reportedly voted on by the people, though no one knows when elections happen and or who all the Wise Men are. Some are public knowledge, others are secret, but all are identified by a Greek Letter, with Omega being the head of state.
The Wise Men have an absurd amount of control over the populace and are vaguely Orwellian in nature. They control everything, from the curfew at night to the entertainment people are allowed to take in. Any defiance can result in citizens being whisked away in the night by The Elite, the police force which works under the Wise Men. The Wise Men can be seen directing the Elite and taking part in their actions, as the city is under martial law, but The Elite are largely free to do as they please. Those who work under the Wise Men are the closest to “free” that the city has.
One of the main areas the Wise Men control is the school, also known as SIN Academy. SIN is an acronym, though no one can remember what it means and the teachers keep giving different names. SIN Academy is mandatory for all children with powers, it is a boarding school that lasts from age eleven until children come of age at eighteen. There children are taught to control their powers and are helped to find the place where they can best serve their city. It is a ruthless school where the cruel and villainous are encouraged. Fights often break out in the halls and those that win rise through the ranks— the best students are often invited to join The Elite as early as the age of fifteen, joining in missions when they aren’t in school.
While the city is largely sleek and metallic, a mixture of modern skyscrapers with futuristic technology and gleaming steel, the slums are another story. Made up of crumbling brick and shanties, the slums are home to those without powers, normals. Normals have been reduced to second class citizens and are often abused by those those with powers. They must be registered and marked by a barcode and an identification number, and it is forbidden for them to purchase anything new or venture into the nicer parts of the city. They are treated as slaves at best and outright criminals, abominations at the worst.
Fortunately, there is some hope in the form of the Messiah Complex. Headed by Aidric Carter, the Messiah Complex is a rebel terrorist group bent on taking down the Wise Men and fixing the city. They spend their days helping normals and often working undercover from inside Sin Academy and as members of The Elite. The MC’s base is located beneath Cafe Richard, a bakery located on the outskirts of the nicer part of the city with hidden access to the slums. It’s the closest thing the rebels have to home, though many find themselves wandering past the slums to the few trees that dot the outskirts of the city.
Suffice to say, it’s a sprawling city with a number of stories to tell. Whether one is playing a villain enjoying his or her reign, a student or a member of the Messiah Complex, life in the city is a dangerous game. Which side will you choose, and most importantly, can you survive?

…thankfully, these are the most recent updates, so I can enjoy this deliciousness without feeling like all of Maitho’s characterization is jacked from Seimei here.
Um, but I do have to say I’m concerned for Yun Kouga’s understanding of necks lately.
(via turn-loose-the-swans)
Just look at what he’s saying here.
I can just hear him saying this all in the most calm and understanding manner possible.
(via turn-loose-the-swans)
Is it really any wonder that he’s my favorite character?

Going to spam with a lot of Loveless spoilers, but I’ll tag them with “Spoilers” for those of you who have Savior (unlike me)~
