True shit

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.

thank you for the source! i didn’t want to reblog this thing, because I wasn’t aware of it’s viability

Nature of writing

Recently I am beginning to find out that the nature of writing is something that is complicated in nature. However it is something that I find myself enjoying immensely. With that being said I’ve just completed another plot outline That will take me a while to start writing While at the same time maintaining Or attempting to maintain a writing schedule in which i will be Able to work on this At my own pace without Dealing with writers block which can be a bitch It is a common occurrence amongst most writers. I must also add that this is The first time a long time where I have been able to write my plot out to the point that I feel I can write out the story and not be Totally clueless to which way I want the story to go. Although the Plotline I just finished is a fan fiction As most people I know start out, it is not my first fan fiction that I had planned. I do hope to keep this going so that I can write when I want to and not worry about writers block or worry about not being in the mood to write.

why are you so underrated

i loved you okay

NO BUT REALLY. LET’S TALK ABOUT CHRIS FUCKING ECCELSTON FOR A SECOND. NOT ONLY WAS HE A FANTASTIC DOCTOR AND COMPLETELY UNDER RATED, HE WAS THE ONE THAT BROUGHT IT BACK. EVERY DOCTOR HAD THEIR THING. YES 10 IS FOXY. YES 11 MAKES YOU WANT TO BE HIS BEST FRIEND. BUT 9 WAS SASSY, AND FUNNY, AND FUCKING HEARTBREAKING WHEN HE WANTED TO BE. THAT GIF RIGHT THERE. HE KNEW HE WASN’T GOING TO SURVIVE THIS RIGHT HERE. BUT FOR ROSE’S SAKE HE PRETENDED HE WAS. HE MADE HER THINK HE COULD DO IT AND LITERALLY GAVE UP THE SINGLE MOST IMPORTANT THING IN THE WORLD UP BY TRICKING HER AND SENDING HER AWAY. HE HATED TO DO THAT BUT HE COULDN’T HAVE HER THERE WHEN THE DALEKS SHOWED. AND IN THE EMPTY CHILD. WHEN HE’S TALKING TO THE DOCTOR IN THE HOSPITAL, HOW HE CAN RELATE TO HAVING ONCE BEEN A FATHER BUT ALWAYS BEING A DOCTOR. HOW JUST THAT ONCE EVERYONE GOT TO LIVE AND HE WAS JUST BEYOND WORDS BECAUSE FOR ONCE NO ONE HAD TO DIE. LETS HAVE A ROUND OF APPLAUSE FOR CHRIS FUCKING ECCLESTON PLEASE. THIS BAMF DESERVES IT.
