Shaped by Star Trek and Discworld, ships Bering and Wells. Dame Purlturtle of the Happy Endings (my stories on AO3). I want my superpower to be giving people remote hugs. Header by @lonely-night - thank you!!
I firmly believe all the best stories happen at WalMart self checkout, I was there at 3 in the morning one time buying Froot Loops, and there was a tall, tall country dad there and his little 5 year old daughter.
And when buying my Froot Loops, I dropped them. And I said "fuck. my loops." And I remember, like, in the back hearing, [gruffer, southern accented voice] "Yeah! Dont be afraid to speak!"
[normal voice] And I was like, "What?"
And he was like, [accented voice] "Youre angry, about your cereal. Say it. Say Fuck with your chest!"
[normal voice] And I was like, "...Fuck!" and his little daughter was like [less gruff accented voice] "Yeah my daddy lets me say Bitch!"
As you can see, the myth just started to grow, characters and ships and tropes being added one after the other, almost bizzarely without contradiction, until there was enough of shape to the whole thing for people to start posting fanfic about it on AO3. “No beta we die like ice-pick Joe” is already a tag.
It was hilarious in the beginning, but the way it’s developed within less than a day, kind of like it’s being willed into existence, is freaking me out a bit. We’re toying with powers beyond our comprehension. 😂😂😂
Edit: guys, please tag these posts “unreality” so people with disassociation issues can filter them out (not this one, this is an explainer). <3

Edit 2: Aparently the boots in the original post are actually referring to a movie called Gomorrah that came out in 2008, directed by Mateo Garrone, based on the Scampia Feud. And other people had also been making posts about the fake movie for a while before the poster took off.
Edit 4:Alt text added to all images courtesy of @valentineish ❤️
Edit 5: Turns out tumblr has done this kind of thing before. Nine years in this hell place and I had to have “Squiddles” and penis smp explained in the replies.
I made this post 18 hours after the movie poster went up. Closed edits 27 hours after first posting. So all of the above happened within 45 hours of the movie poster going up.
It appears this opened a day after after the meme took off.
Goncharov was first entered into Wikipedia between Day 4 and 5 (attempts to vandalise it with fake info don’t count, incidentally – please knock that shit off) under List of Internet Phenomena. This was then expanded into its own Wikipedia page at the end of Day 5 because, according to the talk history: “the topic now meets the notability threshold for its own artice due to significant coverage in The New York Times and other sources cited.” We’re on Wikipedia, people!
Final edit: Day 8. Media reactions to Scorcese’s TikTok (everyone from Forbes to Vulture). That one Tumblr user who said they’d do a screenplay if their post got notes has promised to shoot a single scene, but please don’t be dicks just because you reblogged it; leave them alone until they get around to it themselves. As of end of Day 8 there are 609 works in the AO3 tag. I love all you lunatics. Peace! ❤️
happy drawfee independence fr fr!! i'm really happy ppl like the merch this year, i'm very proud of it!! here's a wallpaper version of the postcard as a thank you 🥹
I follow this tiktok account and I would like to inform you all that she is a British lesbian, he’s a French gay guy, they’re pretty much complete opposites, but they live in an apartment together and have a weirdly amazing friendship. It’s currently one of my favorite things I’ve ever seen on the Internet.
I laughed so hard at this I accidentally exited the Tumblr app and when I reopened, Tumblr had bolted back to the top of the feed, so I just rage scrolled through every single thing both posted in the last hour and that I scrolled past in the last hour to find to present this incredible tiktok to you, my dear followers.

Magical healing and comfort, but not just healingmagic
A character with fire/heat powers massaging a knotted muscle with hot hands, being able to dig in nice and deep as the warmth relaxes the area
A character with ice/cold powers carding their fingers through someone's hair, soothing a headache
A character with hypnotic powers lulling someone into a trance and clearing their mind, easing their anxieties so they can hopefully get some sleep
A character with plant magic keeping a bouquet fresh and vibrant by their friend's bedside, knowing the colors will at the very least cheer them up and give them something beautiful to look at
A character with water magic combining it with a soft cloth washing away tears, sweat, or blood from another character's face
A character with electricity magic frantically grabbing someone near-death and shocking them, refusing to move until they hear their heart leap back to life and pulse under their hands
