Bucky didn’t stay in the bed for long. Like there was anything they could do that would make him – that would force him, ‘cos they’d have to force him to be still, even sleeping he wound up wound up inside sheets, coiled and strangling until he kicked them off and woke too cold. 

The place they had brought him had all kinds of shielding, and so long as his senses weren’t spiking – which was easier now they weren’t drugging him – he could mostly keep track of where and when and who he was. Everything smelled cool and clean, and everything sounded hushed and rubber-edged, and Bucky forged past nurses and ignored doctors and headed for somewhere it was warm. 

There were Guides, too, in this place. You could tell where they were because of the soothing they projected, like being gently and lovingly suffocated with marshmallows. Most of the cool was theirs, too, and some of the clean, and he figured they were trained into it that way. That it’d probably be comforting to most people, people who could stand the goddamn cold. 

Bucky couldn’t stand the goddamn cold, and Bucky was standing by a window seat before he knew it, a blond guy basking in what little there was of the winter sun. Whatever there was he focused it, magnified it, exuded it until Bucky was almost purring. 

“Guide Barton,” someone said, edging around Bucky like he was something dangerous, barely restrained. The man opened his eyes, tropical sea blue, and smiled a little at Bucky before he registered that they weren’t alone. 

“Shit,” he said, “sorry,” and Bucky could practically watch him making the effort towards cool, towards clean, towards the same as all the other marshmallow-muffled Guides, and he shuddered and surged forward, pressed his mouth against the Guide’s, opened for his warm tongue.

Hey guys if you’ve been enjoying the #Runaways, or been waiting to try it, or just wanted to recommend it to a friend, it would mean a lot if you pre-ordered our first trade 

it’ll go a long way to ensuring there’s more stories with these kids

(Pre-ordering from anywhere is valid, btw. I just know amazon tends to be the easiest way for most people)

Since the dawn of the Marvel age, there hasn’t been a Marvel release that hasn’t been declared historic. But wanton hyperbole disclaimers notwithstanding, Black Panther is a movie that’s actually going to change some things–things important and things mundane. And it’s worth a pause from The Ankler’s vitriol festival to take note.

First, there’s the ceiling-shattering about the type of film this is, the casting, etc.  All worth noting.  But to me, the more important thing is what comes after. This is not an eat-your-vegetables, box-checking, begrudged project, reluctantly produced by Disney/Marvel and then dumped on the market so they can petulantly say, “See we tried that! Will you leave us alone now?!”

What makes Black Panther remarkable is not just the African-American helmer and headliners, but that they are going for gold with every piece of this. This movie could change lots of things not because it broke a ceiling for the sake of breaking a ceiling, but because they used this moment to make a great, broad, crowd-pleasing movie; to not just show that this ensemble could make a movie, but that they could make a movie that people will line up to see.

This will be, as best I can tell–correct me if I’ve missed one–the first major movie featuring an African-American cast that will open to a crossover audience.  Normally these movies open with something like a 90 percent African-American audience.

This time it will be something like 20-African American, 80-everyone else. This is not a niche movie, it’s a movie for everyone that happens to be led by a different looking group of people.

This time, as one Ankler friend told us, “They made a great movie that they had to promote everywhere and it will blow down the doors of the perception that overseas audiences are racist and won’t see black-helmed movies.  All the white, male, middle aged distribution execs, who normally are playing it safe, looking to meet their ultimates and make their bonuses. will be forced to spend money to distribute these movies.”

The distributors won’t ever again be able to just wave off one of these projects, sight unseen, dismissing them with the line that overseas audiences won’t come out for black leads, and have an excuse for not even trying.  From now on, they’ll either have to try or they’ll have work slightly harder to come up with a new excuses.

i know this post has been made over and over and over and mine won’t be nearly as legible as others, but i wanted to say my bit so here we go.

REBLOG THE CONTENT THAT CREATORS PUT OUT INTO THE WORLD!!!!! IF YOU LIKE IT THEN REBLOG IT!!!!!

“but wait!!!!!” you say as you read my frustrated capitalized shouting. “i like it!!!! i’m letting the creator know that i like it!!! and sometimes i even message them and tell them i liked it!!!! isn’t that enough????”

sure, liking content is amazing!!!! it makes content creators feel all warm and fuzzy!!!! and messaging us to tell us you liked it???? wonderful!!!!!

but at the end of the day, we create content to be seen. and there’s that old thought that you should create content for yourself and because you enjoy it (which we do) but the reason we post it on sites like this is for other people to see it and enjoy it!!!!

when you like something but don’t reblog it, your love for it is stillborn. none of your followers will see that you’ve liked it, and the creator loses out in exposure.

for example, my most popular fic on here has 2391 notes. seems like a lot, right?? but out of those notes, 2115 of them are likes, and 258 are reblogs. that means only 9.2% of those notes attributed to that fic being spread for more people to enjoy.

and that fic is a best case scenario. for smaller content creators (and on my less popular fics), there will be 200 notes and 6 reblogs. or 90 notes and 2 reblogs.

you know those messages you send??? the ones that say “pls update!!!” “when will the next update come???” “I WANT MORE OF THIS PLEASE!!!!” the best way to get a content creator to create more of what you love is by reblogging their content!!! that shows them that you love it, that you want to see more of it, and you want your followers to see more of it too. and, speaking from experience, i guarantee that every content creator clicks on every reblog of their post in joy when they see it (and reads all the tags. every tag. every time.)

i know this was really long and none of you probably read all the way through but basically REBLOG THE CONTENT THAT YOU LOVE!!!!! SUPPORT CREATORS!!!!!!! like seriously guys we don’t get paid to do this lmao so exposure and reblogs are. amazing.

Forced Safe Mode just went live. Go into your account settings to check for the changes.

Here’s how to turn it off:

iOS:

• Leave the Tumblr app for a sec and go to the main Settings app on your device.
• Scroll down and tap “Tumblr.”
• Look for “Safe Mode” and adjust the settings to match your comfort level.

Android:

• Go to settings: Tap the little person in the tab bar, then the gear icon in the top right, then “General settings.”
• Tap “Filtering,” then
• Flip the Safe Mode switch on.

Web:

• Go to settings: Click the little fella in the top bar, then click settings.
• Scroll to “Filtering,” and click the Safe Mode switch on.

This is only for the app, but it just did it to me in the browser too. Fortunately it shows a link right on the filtered post to let you change that.

Hilariously, the thing it had filtered was a gifset of a fully-clothed man staring intently into the camera and then pulling his long hair back and tying it into a bun.

You can toggle it off following these easy steps

I wonder why did they force it on for everyone xD I dont even see any benefit they get out of that other than just pissing people off :p

might be a good idea to to check your stuff and make sure its off! many of your favorite artist will start to seemingly disappear

Just a reminder that we have seen THE MOST INNOCUOUS STUFF labeled as NSFW by this hellsite. Every artist i follow has had some perfectly innocent piece flagged and had to fight to get the tag removed.

And a lot of it seemed to involve LGBTQA content. Weird how that seems to happen.

Filter your content, but don’t let Tumblr decide who does and doesn’t get heard or seen.
