TWST chapter 7 expectation: everyone focus to be on malleus, why he did this, his past, briar valley lore.
TWST chapter 7 reality: SILVER NO DONT CRY!! LILIA WHYYY, WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU!!
We expected malleus centric. Instead we got father-son dynamic of Lilia and Silver.

AND I’M SO HERE FOR IT!!!!! sorry malleus, fully sympathize and support your breakdown sweetie, #thoughts&prayers but i simply do not have time for you!!! stay out of the story for a while, i need to wail and roll about in my father son duo misery!!!
can we just talk about the fact that silver has been choking back tears IN EVERY SINGLE UPDATE??? like we are talking about one of the most stoic and unshakeable characters in the game, BROUGHT TO FULL-BLOWN SOBBING by lilia’s abrupt and impending departure??? (me eyeing all those posts about silver’s build up of negative energy and the cost of using his UM and rubbing my hands with horrible glee—)
and that’s not even mentioning the absolute insanity that has been lilia’s past we’ve now been exposed to!!! i know it’s a bit contentious but i am LOVING asshole general lilia, i am kicking my feet delightedly whenever he goes on his stupid little child-hating rants, ONLY TO PHYSICALLY TAKE THE BLOW FOR SILVER??? TRUE LOVE, TRUE LOVE!!! (on the other hand, you know it’s so fucking bad for silver when even sebek steps in to try to soften lilia’s rants, my god what is it like for him to see silver so emotionally distraught when silver’s been the one to be most secure in his relationship to lilia and his place in briar valley over all whereas sebek still struggles with his human heritage— WHICH WE’RE FINALLY SEEING THE DELIGHTFUL CONSEQUENCES OF HIS BEHAVIOR BEING BROUGHT BACK TO HIM VIA BAUL, UTTER PERFECTION!!!)
so what i’m saying is, ch7 has left me feeling a bit like sisyphus only the boulder keeps getting bigger and there’s no fucking end to this mess in sight—
What if Silver starts to overblot or almost dies from his blot, and that snaps Malleus out of it…?
Or maybe that’s what snaps Lilia out of it, who in turn starts to overblot, then Malleus snaps out of it? Are we gonna have blot dominoes???
Edit- What if everyone is just overblotted and then Grandma Mal comes in with the steel chair?
I have had it with this likescolding. “Tumblr doesn’t have an algorithm so likes don’t actually do anything” motherfucker I am not clicking that heart to give some post better ~algorithmic visibility~ I am clicking that heart to help my internet friend microdose on serotonin as god fucking intended
The reason people get upset about the like to reblog ratio is because it is killing the site. This site only works if people reblog stuff to keep it circulating. Once upon a time the like to reblog ratio was fairly even, nowadays every post has a ratio of like 4:1 minimum and its depressing because it means posts arent being circulated and tumblr is losing what made it great.
People arent bitching because they want clout, there is no fucking clout on tumblr this isnt twitter or instagram! I wanna see shit on my dash for the things I love and I can only find that shit if the people I follow reblog that shit from other people who I havent discovered yet.
In my current fandom, I still regularly have to go hunting through the character tags just to find stuff to fill up my queue, and most of it is art or gifsets that have around 200 likes but only 10 reblogs. It fucking sucks. I am following so many people who also post about my fandom and yet this stuff remains unnoticed because people are allergic to reblogging things nowadays, because y'all are all so used to the twitter/insta method of likes being the be all and end all to boost some algorithm. How many times do we have to scream there is no tumblr algorithm before y'all understand?!?
Likes have a use, they are a good way to save a post, or to remind you that youve reblogged or queued a post already. I use likes that way. I only ever like stuff to reblog or queue it. My own like to reblog ratio is 1:1 minimum and if I find a post ive previously reblogged (because ive already liked it) sometimes I’ll queue it up again because this site only works if we keep stuff in circulation.
“I wish I could like stuff more than once” thats called a reblog darling if you like a post that much reblog it!!!
So please quit bitching at longer term tumblr users begging newbies to reblog stuff, its necessary if you want the site to function, otherwise y'all will be staring at an empty dash since none of you ever reblogs shit.
Respectfully, a lot of this is nonsense. If people using Like instead of Reblog was “killing” the site, the site would just take the Like button away from us. They don’t because this problem is made up.
Speaking as a decade-long tumblr user, people have ALWAYS hit “like” way more often than “reblog.” There was never a remotely even ratio. “Like” has always been used as a lower-key way to communicate to OP that you enjoyed/approve something enough to react, to save a private list of stuff you might want to see again, and/or to add to the visible “nice job” counter for anyone else who happens across the post. Likes are mostly for your own private interaction with the content on this site, not for public consumption/judgment, which is why they were traditionally private and hidden unless someone directly looked through the notes of individual posts. (And use Likes however you want! But it’s just not true that they’ve traditionally been just a reblog support feature. And there’s no basis to accuse people of “killing” tumblr because they’re using the a feature the way it’s always been used.)
“Reblog,” on the other hand, is for content you want to show on your PERSONAL CURATED BLOG which btw is the BASIC CONCEPT of tumblr. A personal blog is outside-facing and has its own personality and themes and vibes much of the time. It doesn’t have to be dictated by any considerations other than “yeah I definitely want this specific thing on this specific collage of stuff I’ve been developing.” Reblogs have always been more selective and, in fact, served an entirely different purpose than Likes.
Does it suck for artists and gifmakers that they work hard and then don’t always get boosted by the entire audience that gave them positive reactions? Of course, and it always has, but individual bloggers still don’t have any obligation to change their curation choices or alter their personal blog to address that. Feel free to keep reminding newbies that there isn’t an algorithm! Maybe people who really love gifs and art want to consider that reblogging is more incentivizing for the artists on here! And maybe they don’t. At the end of the day, it’s not anyone’s responsibility to give anyone else a 1-to-1 like/reblog ratio.
Do not feel guilty about using YOUR OWN BLOG and the features provided to support it any way you want. If Tumblr ettiquette was about “you can’t passively like something without showcasing it and broadcasting it and duplicating it,” then it would hurt tumblr’s value as something different, freer, more private and more indulgent than twitter et al. A huge appeal of this site is to NOT feel like you HAVE to boost content, like Twitter-style performance art.

“This game made me gay” “this character made me gay” my parents buying me the Bug Bungalow Bug Catching Kit is what made me gay.
It was him, officer.
I caught a bee with the ball scissors in elementary school during recess. I knew it was a bad idea.
But
